Chapter Five: A New Enemy
Author's Note:
Chapter Five: A New Enemy is here! I'm sorry for taking so long, but I was doing more research on the original Spheres. The story will not be exact as the original, and it will have a few original spins to it. The character Jamie Anderson, whom is mentioned in this chapter, won't appear until Book Two: Last Concert. The book will be a bit confusing, but the more you read the series the more you understand it. Please read and review! Until Chapter Six: Final Showdown, see ya! And Chapter Six will be the final chapter. You can check out the Spheres: A Kim Possible Story website at www.freewebs(dot)com/kpspheres.

"Boo-yah! We did it!" Ron exclaimed triumphantly.
"We rock!" Princess exclaimed.
"And you won't mind explaining how you got the power of The Spheres?" Proffesser Julia snapped, "Along with Proffesser Englund here."
Both Proffesser Englund and the five kids laughed sheepishly.
Meanwhile,in the vast areas of Oregan, there was a secret headquarters, with a power-hungry master. He used outsiders as his soldiers.
His name was Austin Wenlock. He had two of the powers of something called The Power Crystals. Four shards within four different magical adults. All four of them, happened to be the proffessers at Sceptrest School. Two of them were already stolen from Austin, while two more still remained.
"What is this?" Austin smirked, his face in the shadows.
A hologram of a view of the outside world of Oregan showed five kids and two proffessers. The machines that he sat on and surrounded him sensed that these group of people had powerful magic. Especially the five kids.
"The power of The Spheres?" Austin cackled under his breath, "Oh, this is just too sweet. And, look who's the Keeper of The Sphere Pheinox..."
The holograms zoomed in, and showed the face of a red head girl with her hair tied in a ponytail with a ribbon, olive green eyes, and braces on her teeth. A young flying squirrel was on her shoulder, nodding to every word the girl said. The girl was explaining something to one of the proffessers.
"Young Kimberly Ann Possible." Austin smirked, "A vulnerable little girl. This should be easy enough...
"But the aura that radiates from Proffesser Englund..." - the hologram switched to the dorky proffesser, who was explaining along with the kids about something to another proffesser. Proffesser Julia. - "Looks like he has a very powerful Power Crystal. Yasmin! Come here at once!"
An opening in the ceiling and appeared a girl with long, dirty blonde hair, with blue eyes and wearing a black tank-top, capris, and shoes with red lining.
"Yes, sire?" the girl named Yasmin asked.
"There's a new group of Spheres Chosens." Austin explained, pointing at the group of five kids that were still explaining something to Proffesser Julia with Proffesser Englund, "I want the girl with the red ponytail and braces. She's the new Keeper of the Sphere Pheinox. Not to mention she's a strong magician. If she gets stubborn, destroy her. Do what you can. Don't fail me."
"I won't." Yasmin replied, and leaped out of sight.
"Proffesser Julia, please understand!" Kim explained, "Nalong here leaped off of my shoulder and grabbed onto a library book. I told him to behave, but he wanted to know how to fly like his family and friends!"
Nalong nodded in agreement.
"A flying squirrel who can't fly?" Proffesser Julia frowned.
"He never learned how to." Kim explained, "His family and friends all rejected him! He tried flying earlier in the year when I first met him! Instead of flying to another tree, he landed on my face!"
Nalong nodded again.
"That still doesn't explain how you got the Spheres and how you got Proffesser Englund involved!" Proffesser Julia said.
"The book that Nalong clung onto happened to be the key to opening the shelf to the Spheres Chamber." Kim explained.
"And the garden gate that we found while looking for Clarke and Princess during Hide-and-Seek was really an entrance to the Spheres Chamber from a different entryway!" Ron added.
"And asking Proffesser Englund to help us was Monique's idea!" Clarke defended.
"Hey!" Monique snapped, "You agreed with me!"
"You guys!" Kim groaned.
"It's all my fault, Proffesser Julia." Proffesser Englund frowned, "These five kids asked for my help, and I knew I had to help them. I knew that the great evil was coming, Julia, I had no choice. These five children are the only ones that can save us. Austin is up to his old tricks again! He already snatched Proffesser Wimbleton and Proffesser Annika's Power Crystals! He'll soon be after ours!"
"Is that why Wimbleton and Annika called in sick?" Proffesser Julia asked.
"They're in the Medical Room right now, going under intense medication." Proffesser Englund explained, "There's no need for surgeries. They just need to be taken care of until the Power Crystals return to them."
"Who in the world is Austin?" Kim asked.
"A power-hungry menace that has attacked the school before." Proffesser Julia explained, "Five years ago, there were five other students, who took their role as the new Sphere Chosens. Unfourtunatly, on their confrontation with Austin, they failed, and they never returned to the school. They were suspended. They had not used the powers wisely. I hope the same doesn't happen to you five. Austin is after the Power Crystals. The teachers of Sceptrest have one. There are four in total. Two of our proffessers are already sick, and they need the Power Crystals to feel better. Austin has them on his fingers the whole time. If he has all four of them, who knows what damage it might do. The only thing that can stop it, and him, are the five Spheres. There is a secondary Sphere out there, and it's a Crystal Sphere. One of our students has it, and he had it for ever since the students were expelled. Of course, back then, he didn't even attend the school. The Sphere Chosens gave it to him during the last battle. He was a prisoner of Austin."
"What was his name?" Ron asked.
"Jamie Anderson." Clarke replied, "He's a huge superstar in the school. You barely see him because he stays away from the fan girls. He has band practice with Proffesser Englund or Proffesser Annika during break times and after school in the music room. His band performs at concerts, and his next one is next month. The band's preparing for the concert."
"Sounds cool." Kim smiled, "This is gonna be one awesome year!"
"The battle is still not over for this week." Proffesser Englund warned, "There's another force from Austin approaching. I should warn you that he has the ability to hypnotise the non-special magicians. Only you five kids and the teachers will be safe. The other students might be in danger. You'll have to save them."
"When's that?" Princess asked, speaking after a long period of silence for her.
"Tomorrow at 3pm sharp." Proffesser Julia explained, "Am I correct Proffesser Englund?"
"Indeed." Proffesser Englund nodded, "We don't have much time. Proffesser Julia, please train these five as I escort the others back to their dorms."
"Very well." Proffesser Julia nodded, "Follow me."
"Students of Sceptrest! Follow me quietly, single file, and return to your dorms immediatly after you enter the school! The outdoors are now forbidden, until Friday after school! Stay inside during that time please! I repeat, the outdoors are now forbidden until Friday after school!"
As Proffesser Englund hollered out orders and directions, Proffesser Julia led the Sphere Chosens to a basement in the school, and closed it behind her, before Proffesser Englund and the other students entered the school, and rushed to their dorms.
Down below...
"Man, it's noisy up there!" Kim groaned.
"It's always noisy when Austin is back." Proffesser Julia explained, "Follow me. Just because the basement is hidden and forbidden, doesn't mean it's dangerous. But, I should warn you, do not look at the shelves if you're-"
"Eek! Spiders!" Monique screamed, and hid behind Kim.
"...arachniphobic..." Proffesser Julia finished. She sighed, "Let us continue. And, Monique, please don't look at the shelves."
"I won't." Monique squealed, doing her best to keep her vision foreward.
"Are you enjoying it here?" Proffesser Julia asked, as the group continued down the dark hallways.
"I guess." Kim shrugged, "Although, I miss the baseball games and Coach William. Not to mention my teammates."
"You play baseball?" Proffesser Julia, Clarke, and Princess wondered out loud.
"I'm the only girl on the team, so your excitement doesn't really frighten me." Kim defended, "I'm a tomboy. So far, the only one in Middleton. No other girl has joined the baseball team. We're pretty short on players. I've asked Monique and Ron to play, but they said no."
"We don't know how to play baseball!" Monique defended.
"And we're not as athletic as you!" Ron added.
"Bummer." Kim frowned.
"Is there anything you don't like about here?" Clarke asked.
"Nope." Kim replied, "Except for the fact that the school's under attack. That's pretty scary. But, knowing that I have powers powerful enough to defeat it, it's okay."
"Here it is." Proffesser Julia said, "This is the Viewing Room. I don't want you to ever enter the basement or the Viewing Room unless you have a teacher to go down with you, understood?"
"Understood." the chosens replied. Nalong nodded and squeaked in agreement.
Proffesser Julia pulled out a key and unlocked the twin wooden doors. She opened it and held it open until all five chosens got in. Kim was the last one to enter. Proffesser Julia closed the doors behind her and Kim.
"Whoa, check these out!" Princess exclaimed.
"The holograms." Proffesser Julia explained, "You can enter them if you want. But don't touch anything while you're in there, unless you know what the buttons and things do. One wrong button and the school can collapse."
"Then I'm not taking a chance at the buttons." Princess frowned. She entered the hologram. A veil of light formed around Princess's territory of the holograms. Soon, holographic buttons and images appeared on the veil. They circled around her against the holographic veil's walls.
"Whoa..." Princess awed, "This is awesome!"
"Latest technology." Proffesser Julia explained, "We're still trying to pinpoint where Austin is. But all we get are Power Crystals underground the forest. We're guessing that Austin is down there, but they don't move, so that can't be. Austin carries them around with him everywhere. Unless he sits down on his electronic throne all day in the machine room, then I'm guessing that's why the Power Crystals don't move."
"What are you saying?" Kim asked, "That the hologram can detect Power Crystals through thick surfaces?"
"Even barriers." Proffesser Julia explained, "Unfourtunatly, they can't detect humans unless you have a piece of their DNA. We never got a piece of Austin's hair or a sample of his fingerprint, so we couldn't detect him. But, we detected the two missing Power Crystals. That's what we're looking for. Where the Power Crystals are, that's where Austin is."
"Why did you bring us down here, Proffesser?" Clarke asked.
"I wanted you to see something." Proffesser Julia asked, as Princess stepped out of the hologram. Proffesser Julia walked over the the giant computer system, and pressed buttons, until the screen showed diagrams.
"Whoa!" Ron exclaimed, "What are those things?"
"They're the school's secret aircraft." Proffesser Julia explained, "They're specially made so they can break through barriers without any harm, and they can morph into different vehicles in a time that's faster than the speed of light. And change back as quickly, after it's need is done. It can even form into different elements. Metal, gold, water, fire, earth, even air. And it includes the driver and passangers turning into the element temporarily also."
"Why do we need to know about the aircraft?" Kim asked.
"You'll be needing it soon." Proffesser Julia explained, as she stood from the chair and led the chosens to a door in the Viewing Room, "One day, during this year, you will have to infiltrate Austin's hideout, once we pinpointed it. For now, you will need the veichle on your many unexpected missions to save Oregan from Austin."
Proffesser Julia pressed a button and the door opened. She entered the room first, the chosens following, clicked on the lights, and revealed the same aircraft as the diagrams. Only, much larger, of course. It was enough to fit six people."
"Amazing..." Kim breathed.
"It can also morph into a veichle with more passanger seats." Proffesser Julia explained, "It will help in rescue missions. But, the driving won't get any harder."
"Cool." Clarke smiled.
"What do you mean by other missions, Proffesser Julia?" Princess asked.
"Yeah." Monique added, "Does that mean Austin strikes his plots Oregan-wide?"
"Yes." Proffesser Julia replied, "That's what the aircraft was specially made for. To withstand any natural or supernatural forces. It even has a little magic of it's own."
"That really is cool." Kim smiled, "But I'm worried about tomorrow. Is everybody else gonna be alright?"
"As long as they stay inside, and don't look out their windows, facing Austin's spell, then they'll be fine." Proffesser Julia replied, "But, still. They may disobey our rules from temptation. Something that gets the best of anybody."
"True." Kim frowned, "I'm worried. Will Jamie be caught in it also? I mean, he has a Sphere. But, Proffesser Englund didn't mention him."
"He'll be fine also, no matter what." Proffesser Julia explained, "And, should I remind you that the Crystal Sphere is just a Secondary Sphere. A gift from the Sphere Chosens. Jamie was very lucky to recieve it. But, if he uses it in bad ways, then things are going to get ugly. Fourtunatly, the Secondary Sphere is not as strong as the original Spheres. You'll be able to stop the power if anything goes wrong. The Secondary Sphere can also be stolen, by being it removed from the owner's body, and into the theif's, or their master's. Jamie will have to be careful."
"How does Jamie look like?" Monique asked.
"You'll notice him when you see him." Proffesser Julia smiled, "Trust me. His fans are always chasing him."
The chosens and Proffesser Julia ended up cracking up laughing.
