Scene 15 - The prosecution and the defense give their closing statements.

Prosecutor Fox: …His crimes? Indisputable. His evil? Undeniable. Your duty? Unquestionable! Guilty on all counts!

Defense Lawyer Effie M. Bondie: …And that, lady and gentlemen of the jury, is why the defendant Dr. Drakken, sad, miserable and pathetic he may be, is not dangerous, is not a threat to you and is most certainly not evil, and therefore deserving of leniency. Thank you.

Kim: Great wrap-up, Effie!

Ron: You almost had me believing Drakken knits baby booties in his spare time and saves little kittens. Juror No. 3 almost teared up!

Kim: Dementor?

Ron: He always was pretty emotional.

Judge Liverlips McGrowl: While the jury deliberates, this court will be in recess!

Ron: Oh goodie! Recess! Remember, KP? Good times.

Kim: It's not that kind of a recess, Ron!

Ron: Whatever. Time for snackage!

Ron empties his backpack on the table. The ferretmobile falls out, but no Bueno Nacho food.

Ron: What the? Oh man! In my hurry to pack, I forgot the food! No problemo! I'll just run to the Bueno Nacho here. You want anything, Kim?

Kim: Just some lemonade.

Ron: Sure! Back in a flash!

Ron leaves.

Drakken leans over to Kim.

Drakken: Kim? I need to talk to you. Alone.

Kim: Excuse me? I didn't know we were on a first name basis, Doctor!

Drakken: Kimberly, don't make this any harder! Miss Possible, please!

Kim: You've got two minutes, Drakken!

Kim and Drakken repair to a conference room where they can speak in private. The guard waits outside.

Drakken: Is it true what the buf-Ronald said out there? I was good and you changed me back to evil?

Kim: Well, it was a little more complicated than that, but yes.

Drakken: Why would you do that?

Kim: Because no one deserves to have some helmet thingy change them. Everyone has the right to be who they are, without some outside force controlling them! Even you, Doctor.

Drakken turns away from Kim.

Drakken (to himself, under his breath): Ah, Kimberly, you're too good. You could have saved yourself so much pain.

Kim: What did you say?

Drakken turns to face Kim.

Drakken (louder): I said - (face changes to an evil grin) I wonder what the judge would say about your evil creation, hmmm? If I'm up for their 'severest penalty', I wonder what grisly sentence would befall you? It'd almost be worth it to go through all this to find out!

Kim: You-you wouldn't!

Drakken: Try me!

Kim: I only tried to help you! I'm not responsible for your evil acts, you evil, evil man!

Drakken: Thank you for noticing! Now get back out there and restore my evil name while also sparing me from the rendering plant, or I'll be sure to save you a spot on the floor next to me!

Kim leaves the conference room.

Drakken looks in the mirror.

Drakken: Et tu, Drakkus?

Wolf Bailiff: 30 seconds, pally! Show's almost over!

Drakken: Yes, yes, alright, Mr. 'Fuzzy'! Showtime, indeed!

Kim goes back to the courtroom.

Effie: Why so glum, Kim? There's a good chance we can win this thing!

Kim: It's hard to explain. But even if I win, I could still lose!

Effie: You? The 'girl who can do anything'?

Kim: Guilty as charged!

Effie: Kim, ah can't imagine what's going on in your head, but ah've had some tough cases in my time, such as Cruze vs. Cruze...

Kim: Wasn't that a divorce case?

Effie: Yes. What's your point? Anyway, ah've found there's always a way to win. It may not be obvious. It could be uncovering hidden evidence, or convincing a recalcitrant witness to talk, or finding a loophole. It could be just about anything, but it's there!

Kim (smiling): Thanks for the pep talk, Effie! I feel better already!

Effie: Really?

Kim (frowning): I wish. Sigh.

Effie: Kim, you have the biggest heart of anyone ah ever met. Listen to it.

Ron returns with food and drink.

Ron: They were out of lemonade, Kim, so I got you sodaaaa whoa!

Ron trips over the ferretmobile on the floor, splashing the soda in front of him.

Ron looks at the ferretmobile.

Ron: Huh? Where'd that come from? That wasn't...

Ron looks ahead.

The soda splashed on Drakken. He melts in front of everyone.

Shego, judge, lawyers, guards, crowd stare speechless as Drakken turns into a puddle of synthogoo.

Ron: Wow. That would be totally freaky if it weren't so cool!

Effie sees an opening and jumps up.

Effie: Your honor, I request immediate dismissal of the case as the defendant was an artificial being and also, as he does not exist.

Judge: Does the prosecution have any objection?

Fox: N-no, your honor.

Judge: Then I'll grant the motion, not on the basis of artificiality of being, but on obvious nonexistence. Case dismissed! Shavers, your services are no longer required.

Ron (to Iago the Parrot): Shavers?

Iago: Yeah! Losing all their fur or plumage, their very identity, is the worst thing that can happen to a talking animal!

Ron: That...was your 'severest penalty'? But I thought...?

Iago: What do we look like, a bunch of humans?

Ron: KP! We won! Well, sort of! I'll take it, in any case!

As guards escort the shackled Shego out of the courtroom and everyone - judge, lawyer, bailiff, gallery - file out, Kim, kneeling in the puddle of synthogoo that was once Drakken, palms his remains, the green goo dripping from her hands.

Kim: No. No no no no no!

Kim's in shock.

Ron: Kim..?

Lurker: And thus ends our first tale. Drakken may or may not be guilty of the crimes he's alleged to have committed (if he even exists), but Kim? Her 'crimes' may be more ephemeral than Drakken's, and indeed may only exist in her mind, but they are no less real to her. The verdict? The jury's still out on that one. And what of I, gentle reader? Last seen, I was being chased by an angry mob. Whither my fate? A mystery, to be answered in the next installment of our epic The Last Kim Possible Story. Kim too, has a mystery she must solve. Join us, won't you?
