Ok, had time to marinate with the next chapter in this so it should be interesting.
Lots of old favorites mentioned (no Transformers, Surfrost!) for possible temporary partnership.
Who will they choose? (Hint; read the preview to find out)

Kim Possible: The Cars Strike Back
Chapter 2
In Need of Assistance
Kim strode up the sidewalk towards Ron's house; in her hand was the folder that Dr. Director gave her.
On her back she carried a vast amount of her belongings (Clothes, sleeping bag, pillows, shoes) In her right hand was a suitcase with even more clothes in it.
She didn't know how long she would be staying with Ron, as no one could really go repair her house while the Car was around again.
Kim glanced at the folder; whatever caused the Car to be back was surely inside.
As she approached she saw the two marked Middleton PD cruisers leaving the front of the house.
That must be Ron's parents
Ron stood in the front doorway as he waved goodbye to his parents, Rufus sniffled a little as the cruisers vanished into the distance.
Ron turned back to the street and saw Kim heading up the front walk to his house, with all her "necessities" in tow.
Ron rushed over to help her, being the gentlemen he is.
"Thanks Ron"
"No big Kim, but what is all of this?" Ron asked as he took the suitcase from her hand, its sudden weight surprised him as it hit the ground, dragging him with it.
"Oh, you know, the usual" Kim said shyly.
Ron looked up from the ground at her, raising an eyebrow.
"This is the usual?"
Kim nodded.
Ron sighed as he strained himself carrying the suitcase into the house, wondering how she was able to carry it without falling over.
"The guest room is all set for you KP. We should bring this stuff up there." Ron said as he rested the suitcase inside the house and shut the door.
"Oh, that's great Ron" Kim replied as she set her backpack down.
Ron looked at Kim quizzically,
Did she just sound disappointed?
Rufus scampered in through the cat door to Ron's shoulder; Ron still couldn't understand why his parents wanted a cat door when they didn't even have a cat.
Ron pushed the thought aside as he heaved the heavy suitcase up the stairs, Kim followed with her back pack in tow.
Ron opened the door to the seldom used guest room in his house, and set the suitcase down on the bed.
Kim set her bag down right next to the door and took in the new surroundings.
She had never seen or for that matter even knew that Ron's house had a guest room, remembering how Ron told her that he and Mr. Barkin had to sleep on the couch when the bondo ball incident occurred.
Ron collapsed onto the bed, exhausted from carrying Kim's suitcase up the stairs.
Kim watched him as he laid there, arms spread out across the bed. A smile spread across her face.
She walked over to the bed and lay down next to Ron, being sure that she was on one of his arms.
Ron looked to her, wondering what she was doing when she kissed him.
All of Ron's exhaustion melted away as the kiss reminded him of why he was exhausted.
For Kim,
It soon dawned on Ron that he would gladly put himself through agony/exhaustion if this was to be how he was repaid for his efforts.
Kim pulled away from the kiss and looked into Ron's chocolate eyes, his trademark goofy smile spread across his face.
"I'm glad that I get to stay with you Ron, despite the circumstances" Kim said.
Ron briefly looked confused.
"What Circumstances?" Ron asked
Kim rolled her eyes, yet she smiled.
My kisses are really effective on him
"Ron, the Car? It's returning from its supposed destruction? Ringing any bells?"
"Oh riiiight, the thing with the Car and the killing, right" Ron said as it all came back to him.
"Which reminds me," Kim said sitting upright on the bed, the folder in her hand.
"We are supposed to be looking through these" Kim said waving the folder around.
Ron sat up.
"What exactly are we looking for again?"
"Whatever it is that made Drakken and Shego flee town" Kim said as she opened the folder.
She handed Ron a stack of images that were in the folder, Kim looked at the remaining stack.
Beep beep be beep
"Go Wade" Kim said, pausing from the photos.
"Kim, I finished my analysis of the photos"
"Wait, you had these photos all this time and you didn't tell us?" Ron protested as he held up two photos.
"Well, Dr. Director sent them to me before she went to you guys." Wade said shrugging his shoulders.
"So what have you found" Kim said.
"It appears Drakken was trying to piece together the damage caused by his explosives on the gorge" Wade said.
Kim shuffled through the images till she came to a roughly drawn image of the gorge, small markings with numbers dotted the edge.
"That would explain the drawing" Kim said waving the drawing in front of her.
"Yeah, if you look closely at it Drakken was marking off which ones he checked the damage of." Wade said.
Kim looked at the drawing, indeed roughly half of the markings had X's going through them.
"He stopped suddenly when he reached position number 8." Wade finished.
Kim looked at position 8 on the drawing; Even from the rough sketch Kim recognized the location of number 8 was directly across from where the Car drove into the gorge.
"Kim, look at this!" Ron said as he scooted closer to her, two images in his hands.
Kim looked at the images, then back at Ron.
"Ron, these are the same picture" Kim said flatly.
"I know Kim, but look at the dates!" Ron said.
Kim looked down at the images again, and then it dawned on her.
"Number 8 never detonated!" Kim said.
"Correct guys, it appears that Drakken miss wired that device."
"But how did the Car get out? I mean GJ was watching the gorge since it was detonated, they said nothing came out of there." Kim said as Ron nodded along with her.
"I did some digging for geographical and meteorological surveys of the gorge, it turns out there was an abandoned mineshaft in the side of the gorge."
Wades' image was replaced by a 3d generated image of the gorge, a small tunnel came out from one of the sides leading into the earths depths.
"Its unclear how far down the shaft goes, but that looks like how it got out." Wade finished.
"Ugh, now we are back to square one" Kim sighed as she collapsed back onto the bed.
It shouldn't be this way,
"Wade, we need another way to get rid of this thing" Ron said as he leaned back on the bed with Kim.
"I'm already looking for something that we might use for dealing with the Car" Wade said.
"That was fast. Contact us when you have anything" Ron said, switching the Kimmunicator off.
"What else can we do to this thing?" Kim asked
Ron shrugged,
"We could try the holy water again."
"Didn't work as well as we thought Ron," Kim said, remembering all the scars the Car had on its side. It wasn't distorted or melting like she expected it to.
"Well…" Ron started, pointing his index finger in the air.
Kim looked at him, hopeful of an idea.
"Ok I got nothing" Ron said as he collapsed back onto the bed.
Kim wrapped her arm around Ron and pulled him closer to her.
"Lets review shall we?" Kim said.
"Aww, I hate reviewing" Ron protested.
"Focus Ron, holy objects are effective but apparently not as effective as we thought."
"Right"
Kim opened her mouth but this time her mind drew a blank.
That can't be all we know? Can it?
"Well?" Ron asked, eying Kim
"Ok, now I got nothing" Kim replied
"We really don't know what we are dealing with do we?" Ron asked
"I guess we don't Ron" Kim replied.
They hadn't been in a situation as uncontrollable as this, ever. They knew next to nothing about their foe, and they couldn't stop it conventionally. They were stumped.
"Well, on the bright side Wade can track the Car thanks to the chip your brothers stuck to it." Ron said.
Kim shot up from the bed and grabbed the Kimmunicator.
"Wade, my brothers stuck a tracking device on the Car. Do you have a fix on it?" Kim asked frantically.
"Sorry Kim, I had contact with it shortly after it left your house, then nothing." Wade responded.
Kim sulked down onto the floor, defeated again.
Ron slid off the bed to Kim's side.
"Do you think that the Car found out about it and shut it down?" Ron asked Wade.
Kim gave him an annoyed look.
"What?" Ron asked.
"Ron, that has to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard you ask" Kim stated.
"Actually Kim, he may be right." Wade said.
"What!" Kim said, shocked.
"Well it is an evil Car, and I don't have any idea of what powers it possesses but it most certainly could shut down the device"
"Boo-yah! That's one for the Ron-man!" Ron replied throwing his hands in the air.
Kim leaned back against the bed, "I give up" she muttered.
"Wade, what have you been searching for by the way?" Ron asked
"Well, considering how you are dealing with a Car that is some kind of Demon, I was looking for any other kind of vehicle that has similar powers" Wade said.
Kim brought herself back to the screen.
"How did you search for that Wade?" She asked confused.
"I did searches for bizarre automotive related news, hoping I'd find something"
"And did you?" Kim asked
"I sure did, although follow up searches proved to be a mixed bag" Wade said.
"So you mean to tell us that you were looking for a vehicle that could fight this evil Car we are dealing with?" Ron asked
"Yep" Wade said with a smile
"Wade, that is totally Badical!" Ron exclaimed.
Kim giggled at Ron's outburst, although she secretly admitted the idea sounded kind of cool.
"So what have you found Wade?" Kim asked.
"Well, I've gathered numerous vehicle related stories across the country. At first there was this Tractor Trailer with the nose of a green clown that went on a killing rampage with numerous other trucks in North Carolina. But records discovered that it was the cause of the earth passing through the tail of a comet that caused all these machines to come to life, and the truck was destroyed by band of refugees"
"Aw, a clown nosed truck would have rocked" Ron protested.
"Then I found this promising article from Knight Industries"
The screen was filled with a newspaper clip about Knight Industries newest creation.
"Knight Industries? That sounds familiar" Ron said resting his head on his hand.
"They created the Knight Industries Two Thousand, also known as K.I.T.T. It was used to fight crime throughout the country, it even had a counter part known as K.A.R.R but it was destroyed by K.I.T.T and its whereabouts are unknown."
"So, the K.A.R.R was evil? And it was destroyed by K.I.T.T" Ron thought
"But K.I.T.T. is still around, right?" Kim asked hopefully.
"Sorry Kim, Knight Industries closed down in the mid nineties and K.I.T.T was destroyed."
"Did you find anything that we could actually use Wade?" Kim asked, growing increasingly annoyed.
"Well, there is one. But you aren't going to like it" Wade said as he shifted uncomfortably in his chair.
"Spill Wade" Kim ordered.
Wade sighed "Ok"
He typed on his keyboard and the screen filled with a newspaper clipping from the late 70's.
"In late 1978 in southern California there was an incident involving a high school senior and his newly acquired car."
The screen filled with the image of a late 50's coupe, finished in bright red with a silver spear running down its flanks and showing off the cars tailfins. Its roof was white, and its front end had four headlights, two on either side. The center of the cars steel grill held a gold letter V.
"The Car in question was this 1958 Plymouth Fury, the only one ever offered in this color combination, as most were beige."
"Wow, that's nice" Kim said, noting that Ron's jaw hung open on viewing the Car.
"The color wasn't the only thing different about it, the Car had a jealous streak, and anyone that got between it and its owner better be a fast runner."
"What do you mean 'fast runner'?" Kim asked
"I mean that the car chased after and killed all who got between it and its owner."
The screen filled up with police reports at the time, Kim and Ron scanned over them briefly as more and more kept coming up.
"The Car's first owner lost his daughter in the car, then his wife, and then he killed himself in it. The person who bought the car from the man's brother, Arnie Cunningham, went through a personality change when he had the car. Going from an outcast student, to someone of unimaginable hate and cruelty. His girlfriend at the time nearly choked to death in the car, she reported that when she started choking that everything in the car got bright, and the radio came on, not to mention that the doors magically locked."
"But don't cars have power locks?" Ron asked.
"Not in 1958" Wade responded.
"Arnie had a run in with about four students at school, a confrontation that resulted in their expulsion and vowing revenge on Arnie. They got it when they snuck into the garage where Arnie kept the car where they ultimately destroyed it."
"Wait, I though I said something we could use?" Kim interrupted
"It gets better Kim."
"Two nights after the car was destroyed it was spotted out in the main street, chasing down one of the perpetrators that vandalized it. The car caught up to him in a loading dock where it cut the kid in half."
Kim and Ron both reached away as the crime scene photos came up, clearly showing the coroner picking the kids legs up with a shovel.
"A few nights after that the car chased down the last members that vandalized it into a gas station, where it crushed one of them and somehow caused the gas station to go up in flames killing the other."
"It blew up a gas station?" Kim asked
"It gets weirder; one of the vandals was outside the station when it went up. Reports indicate that the car backed out of the station and chased him down, while completely engulfed in flames"
Both Kim and Ron had a shocked expression on their face.
"And you want us to work with this Car, to stop the other car?" Kim asked
Wade nodded.
"I don't think we have much of a choice Kim" Ron said.
"Fine, where is this Car Wade?" Kim asked
"It's in a Southern Californian junkyard, but you guys realize that you're both going to have to work on her to get her back to operating condition right?" Wade asked
"Hold up, after all you told us, we actually have to work on this car to get it back in shape?" Ron argued
"Well if you let me finish, I'll tell you why" Wade retorted.
Ron sighed and hung his head; Wade got him on that front.
"Continue Wade" Kim said.
"After it killed the last of the vandals, the car killed Arnie's boss because he witnessed the car return to the garage, while he was still there. Arnie's best friend and his ex teamed up to try and destroy the car, hoping to bring back their friend from the clutches of the car. When the car showed up to face them, they didn't know Arnie was in the car, until he attempted to run his ex over and was sent through the windshield. Arnie died that night, and the car basically gave up and was crushed."
"Wait, after Arnie died the car lost all hope?" Ron asked
"It looks that way Ron" Kim responded.
"So what do we need to get it back in working order?" Kim asked Wade.
"By the looks of it and from what I've just told you, about 3-4 weeks to get it back in its prime"
"That's a lot of time Wade." Ron said.
Kim nodded; it was too long of a time. It would allow the Car to roam the streets of Middleton without any opposition.
"There is some good news though" Wade said.
"Looking at the records, Drakken and Shego are in their new lair which is ironically in Southern California. So you could probably convince them to help get it together."
"Is that even possible?" Ron asked
"Weirder things have happened Ron" Kim replied.
"Wade, get us a flight to Southern California by tomorrow" Kim said
"Got it guys, I'll report in if anything else comes up"
Kim turned the Kimmunicator off and sat back down on the bed.
"I can't believe we have to do this" She muttered.
"I just hope we can trust this Car to do what we want it to do" Ron said as he sat down next to Kim.
"You and me both Ron"
Well that took longer than expected, figures that this story was all laid out before hand and when I go to type it in I forget everything that was planned out.
Well, that and I realized I only planned out the confrontation/fight scenes so that's a setback.
Chapter 3 should hopefully be up in a shorter amount of time, so you have that to look forward to.
Read and review as always.
