Kim's head rested on a pillow. Her eyes blinked a couple of times before she could open them and then she winced when a lamp lit brightly on her face.

There were voices echoing in her head, it was Dr. Venture and Dr. Quarrel's voices.

She sat up quickly and noticed she was in a cabin room bed with some hospital machines.

"Welcome back Ms. Possible," Dr. Venture walked into the room with Dr. Quarrel, "glad to see you're alive and well!"

She rubbed her head and gave out a groan.

"What happened to me?" she asked, "And where am I?"

"We've come to ask you the same question," Answered Dr. Quarrel, "You're back in the compound, what can you tell us about your experience in the cave?"

"In the cave?" retorted Kim, "I never went inside the cave!"

Dr. Quarrel and Dr. Venture exchanged glances. Kim noticed their reaction and a worried look came over her face.

"Did I?" she scratched her head.

"What can you remember then?" Asked Dr. Venture as Dr. Quarrel pulled out his pen and notebook.

"I remember standing in front of the cave," she stuttered for a moment, "I remember Ron being there…and…then I took a break. I came back…Ron was still there." She closed her eyes tightly and rubbed her forehead, "I think…I remember a noise coming from the cave…but that's it…Oh wait! Ron…Ron told me about the noise, but I never heard anything" Kim looked at both Doctors who studied her carefully.

"I swear to you, I don't remember going into that cave." She stated.

"Intriguing!" exclaimed Dr. Venture catching Quarrel and Kim's attention, "It appears you seem to be suffering from some form of Amnesia!" he explained as he rubbed his chin.

"Amnesia!" Kim repeated, "I still remember my name and who I am, and I remember everything last night."

"That's where you are wrong Ms. Possible," pointed out Quarrel, "You don't remember everything from last night."

"Well, could someone please fill me in?" She asked as she hopped out of her bed and began putting her thick winter coat on, "I'm really late, my mom's going to kill me when I get home!"

"Ms. Possible please," Venture stood in her way but she walked around him and headed towards the door, "we don't know if what you experienced last night could've had a dangerous affect on you all yet!"

Kim continued to ignore him and opened the door. Suddenly she came to a halt and was shocked to find an immense stone palace towering over the horizon.

Her now wide eyes turned to look at Venture and Quarrel and then looked back on the horizon.

"Okay," she said with a slight high pitched tone, "I'm ready to listen now!"

Once Kim felt fully refreshed she sat with the two doctors on a table with cups of hot chocolate, discussing last night.

"When we finally arrived at the scene, we found you, Ron and Purt unconscious in front of the entrance doors," Explained Venture.

"According to Ron," Spoke Quarrel, "He and his team's worthiness were tested by the doors to go in and get you out of there. Yet we managed to go through those doors without a test!"

Venture put his hand in front of Quarrel.

"Let's not get testy now Quarrel!"

"Oah!" Kim gestured for the two doctors to back off, "You're telling me that Ron went in the cave after me?"

"According to what he said," Venture began, "He and four others searched for you in the cave. After they got lost and split up, he and the one survivor found you and finally rescued both of you when the palace began to rise from the ground."

"He rescued me!" Kim exclaimed.

"Wait doctor," Quarrel interrupted, "The one survivor? We still didn't find the other two."

"I just received news this morning, Quarrel," Venture's face changed to a concerned look, "The search team entered what they described as 'the torture chamber' and found the remains of Brian and Faris hanging from…"

Quarrel jumped out of his seat with a loud curse. Venture remained seated with a still look on his face.

"Is there something you're not telling me doctors?" Kim asked.

Quarrel and Venture looked at each other.

"Tell her doctor." Said Quarrel.

Venture took a deep breath and let it out.

"Ron described the temple as possessing spirits of an ancient culture known as 'the Sith' who manipulate some energy called 'The Force'" Venture explained.

"Oh no," Kim's response came with smacking her own forehead, "This is so typical of Ron."

"He also told us of one spirit possessing you and twisting some key to bring this palace to the surface," Said Quarrel, "Do you acknowledge any of this?"

"Of course not!" Kim snapped, "It sounds…"

"Crazy?" Quarrel put in.

"Well…that's one way of putting it," Kim confessed.

"Now I wouldn't come to conclusions just yet," Venture said to the two, "There are still possibilities we must consider."

"What about Ron's two team mates?" Kim asked, "What happened to them?"

"That is a mystery, indeed!" Venture admitted.

"Hmph! There's no easier way to silence evidence than to put it to death!" Scorned Quarrel.

"Now wait just a minute!" Kim yelled as she rose from the table.

Venture immediately put his arms between them.

"Please," he looked over to doctor Quarrel, "I implore you to consider not to accuse Ron of anything!"

Quarrel looked to one side and said, "I stick by my theory."

"And I'll stick by my friend!" Kim yelled and with that she stormed out of the cabin, slamming the door behind her.

Kim found Ron placing some luggage beside the helipad they stepped on. Rufus was with him as well.

She cautiously approached him.

"Hey Ron," She sheepishly greeted.

"Kim!" Ron turned around, "You're up! Now you can tell the doctors I'm not crazy!"

"Actually," she started, "I don't remember anything."

"What?" Ron's surprise was clear, "You mean…you forgot everything?"

Kim sadly nodded.

"But…then that means…Oh man!" Ron kicked the snow, "This tanks!"

"What tanks?" Kim asked.

"All my heroics went for nothing!" Ron cried out.

"You're heroics?" Kim repeated, "What exactly do you remember from the cave Ron?"

"Long story short," Ron started, "My team and I, went through a couple of tests to unlock the doors, then we followed the voices inside which led us to the tombs, finally I met a Sith master's spirit who helped me find you."

"Hold on!" Kim interrupted, "Was he the one who possessed me?" Kim asked.

"So you do know what happened!" Ron snapped.

"No," Kim replied, "The doctor's ran me through your story."

"Oh," Ron turned around with slight agitation, "Them."

"What's wrong?" Kim walked up beside Ron.

"They're blaming me for sabotaging the excavation," he grumbled, "they don't believe my story, they think I'm making the whole thing up!"

"Go on Ron," Kim said, "What happened next."

"I followed the Sith's instructions," Ron said.

"His instructions? What's that?" Kim asked.

"I sensed you in the temple Kim," Ron explained and turned to look at her, "I actually felt your presence in there, I knew exactly where to go to find you!"

"Really?" Kim sarcastically remarked crossing her arms.

"You don't believe me?" Ron asked.

"And I'm also supposed to believe you boldly faced all the evils in the cave and picked my unconscious body up with whoever the other guy was and ran out in the nick of time?" Kim teased.

"I'm not making all this up!" Ron lectured, "And by the way, the guy who possessed your body used you to wield some key in the shape of a sword and twist some giant key hole to lift this palace from under the ground"

Kim's eyebrow remained in its raised position throughout Ron's speech.

"I swear to you," Ron said, "I'm telling you exactly what I saw!"

"Why didn't you stop me?" Kim asked.

"I tried!" Ron exclaimed.

"But, couldn't" Kim filled in.

"Yeah," Ron went silent for a moment, "I mean no!"

Kim sighed and turned to walk away only to be stopped by Ron's call.

"One other thing Kim!" He ran up to her, "You kept going on about something,"

"What?" She faced him.

"It had to do with the Sith coming back," Ron rubbed the back of his neck and his eyes stared into the sky trying to remember, "Something about their plans to conquer other galaxies and their prophecy to return to complete their work on earth."

"You don't remember exactly what I said?" Kim complained.

"I was too buisy fighting you!" He countered.

"Whatever," Kim said turning to her cabin, "As long as it's over we have nothing to worry about!"

As Kim walked off Ron sank into thought about Perfidious's deal. If he went back and finished his training, maybe he'd be able to save more than just Kim's life the next time she's in danger…maybe even the world?

Ron turned back around and continued unloading the luggage from the sled.

Kim, carrying her nighttime supplies in her bag, was stepping out of her sleeping cabin.

Dr. Quarrel walked up to her with his pen and notepad.

"Oh," Kim said with a disgusted look on her face, "It's you."

"If you don't mind Ms. Possible," he said, "I just need to ask you some questions."

"Go ahead," She said turning her face to another direction.

"I spoke to Dr. Venture about his wife, Veronica, before she died," he said, Kim's pupils widened, "It seems she was on to something, could you tell me what that was?"

"What makes you think she was on to something, doctor?" Kim asked, a little twitchy.

"Well, according to Venture, she was secretive about a certain artifact that she never allowed even her own husband to know of. After her death, Venture found the artifact in the rubble of the lab…and it led him to this discovery."

Kim turned her attention directly to Quarrel, who was smiling in a slightly mischievous way.

"So, what does this have to do with me?" Kim gulped.

"You said she was dead before Venture reached her," He pointed his pen towards Kim's direction, "But Venture told me that she was alive, a little crispy, and had some last words to speak of. Do you know what those last words were, Ms. Possible?"

"No, doctor," Kim plainly said, "I never heard what she said before she died."

"Then why did you lie to me?" Quarrel asked.

"Because I wanted you to keep off the case." Kim put her bag down and sat on it.

Venture sat beside her on the cabin doorsteps.

"I do know Veronica was on to something, and that's what killed her"

"What do you mean?" Asked Quarrel edging closer for the answer.

"Venture's best friend, Wily, was not after explosive chemicals, he was after her research." Kim looked into Quarrel's now intrigued eyes, "His target was not Venture he was after Veronica. She died protecting her research."

Kim's eyes began watering.

"After we rescued Dr. Venture, we went back in to save his wife, we thought he was the target. But we were wrong," Kim looked down sadly, "We fought our way through the labs and arrived at the scene where Wily had a gun pointing at Veronica. He was asking her to hand over the research and she refused to do so." Kim rubbed her eye, "Ron and I ran into the room and he fired several shot in our direction, Veronica pushed him over and he dropped his gun." Kim stopped there.

"Then what happened?"

"He got up and ran out the room, I gave chase."

"Where did Veronica go?"

"I don't remember…I was out the room by then."

"And Ron?"

"I don't know. I never asked him."

"Go on."

"I continued going after him until he reached the exit where I finally stopped him. He was laughing hysterically like most villains do…I remember he ranted something."

"What did he say?"

"It was just a rant…I never usually take those seriously." Kim scorned.

"You must remember someth…" Kim interrupted.

"Ah, It's coming back to me, now." Kim remembered, "He said, If we can't get our hands on that research then no one else will…" Kim thought for a moment, " He then said, but I assure you we'll be ready when they come!" Kim gave a little laugh, "But I then taunted him back by telling him he was not ready for me."

Kim lowered her head again.

"He only laughed back and pulled out some kind of detonator for the explosives he'd wired the lab with…I was too late to stop him."

"What next? How did you find Veronica?" Quarrel frantically asked.

"I was looking for Ron…I found him near the rubble over Veronica's burnt body."

"And Wily?"

Kim gritted her teeth and a disgusted look came over her face.

"I gave him the beating of his life."

"Before or after you went looking for Ron?" Asked Quarrel

"Before."

Quarrel finished taking these notes and put away his pen and notepad.

"Why are you asking me all this?" Kim asked after finally returning from her flashbacks, "Are you some kind of investigator?"

"Yes, actually," answered Quarrel, "I'm a rare kind of investigator."

And walked away leaving Kim in deep contemplation.

Kim brought her bag and placed them beside Ron's and waited for the helicopter, which was now on the horizon, to approach the helipad.

Quarrel approached Ron Stoppable as he and Rufus stood nearby.

"Ron," Quarrel began "Do you mind if I asked you some questions regarding…Veronica?"

"How do you know about that?" Ron asked.

"Kim told me everything…Even the part about Wily."

Ron rubbed his chin and looked back at Kim who was eyeing him very closely.

He looked back at the doctor and nodded.

"Alright," he said, "shoot"

"When Kim gave chase to Wily," Quarrel waited to see Ron's reaction, but he kept a straight face, "Where did you go?"

Ron gulped.

Kim watched with eagle eyes. She never even knew where Ron was when she gave chase to Wily…she never even wondered. But what significant role would Ron play that night any way? Other than him being Veronica's rescuer, she forgot to thank Ron for that.

Suddenly Quarrel's reaction caught Kim's attention. Something Ron said, something important, made Quarrel's eyes open wider than Kim thought they could. Whatever it was that Ron said made Quarrel almost drop his notepad.

Quarrel raised his hand and asked Ron to stop talking. He know rubbed his face and it seems as though he's asking Ron to repeat what he said. Ron did and Quarrel gave out a big disappointing sigh.

What did Ron say? What would've made Quarrel seem so surprised?

Suddenly a loud noise came from behind Kim and wind began to blow around the helipad.

Kim looked up to spot the helicopter coming in for a landing.

"Ron!" she called, "Come on! Let's go!"

Ron gestured to her that he's coming, shook hands with Quarrel and ran towards her to pick up the luggage.

The helicopter took off as soon as they hopped in and then shrunk on the horizon.

Dr. Quarrel was left in awe.

He turned away from the helipad and walked towards Venture's cabin shaking his head.
