The night before.
Scarlet's breathing became heavy and she held a hand to her heart, it was pounding faster then ever had. Every memory, every thought, every feeling, they all belonged to this strange being that had somehow gotten inside her. For once in her life she was really scared. What did this creature want with her? The hover board began to fall right before the redhead stood up weakly and returned the board to its original place in the sky. She felt that shiver again; the voice chuckled once more.
"Amazing, no?" the voice purred. Scarlet took another deep breath before replying.
"What was that?" Scarlet asked rather shakily and angrily. She couldn't see this being but she felt it sneer evilly when she asked this.
"You asked who I was and I gave you an answer," the being snickered, enjoying every moment of this.
"Get out of my body!" Scarlet screamed, angry and fearful at the same time. She couldn't kill this one, not like she had with so many others who had defied her. This thing was inside her; this thing had the upper hand. She listened for it carefully.
"Hmmm," she heard it say, "nope, don't want to." the voice said coolly. Scarlet clutched a fist.
"This is not a matter of wanting! Now get lost, you creepy, slimy, body stealing-"
"Kimala,"
"What?" Scarlet asked abruptly.
"My name is Kimala, and I am not a thing, I am a Immortal." Scarlet scoffed at these words. Her shoulders fell and she placed a hand to her forehead.
"Great, just great," Scarlet said in a whiney and annoyed tone. "I get through with the Guardians and now I have an Immortal inside me."
"Whoa, don't worry, I'm on your side." Kimala started. "You are the most powerful human being I have seen since, since, well, since myself!"
"You're human?" Scarlet asked, standing up straight again and looking to the skies.
"I was once," Kimala said.
"Okay, then why are you inside me?" Scarlet snapped.
"Possessing that old woman was not doing me any good," Immediately Scarlet realized she was talking about Mrs. Possible, her mother. "But you! You are powerful and command respect, you defeated Team Possible, and you are, by far, one of the best villains I have seen! And with your body I shall-!"
"If this is a 'take over the world' thing, thanks, but no thanks," Scarlet said in a jaded tone. "I've learned that teaming up with other villains never turns out well for me. So I suggest you find another villain to live in, because when I take over the world, I don't plan to do it while sharing my body with some Immortal freak." the 'Immortal freak' was taken aback by this comment. Her anger boiled over.
"You have no choice," Kimala hissed venomously. The Immortal felt Scarlet tighten up nervously and smiled a smile that matched the venomous sound in her voice. Scarlet realized an evil smile was creeping onto her own face, but it wasn't her smile. Scarlet forced the smile downward into a frown.
"Are you threatening me?" the redhead asked, the fear in her voice was masked, but there. Kimala sensed it.
"Maybe," Kimala said icily. "Because, Scarlet, I'm inside you, and I can take control of you any time I want." Scarlet felt that shiver again, it was worse then before. Suddenly a familiar ringing came from Scarlet's belt. Her cell phone. Thank goodness the policeman at the Tri-City Prison were compete idiots. Otherwise she wouldn't have been able to escape and get back her outfit and all its accessories, including cell phone. The updates she had put into her outfit were a big help, the gloves with the retracting claws were her favorite. Much cooler then her original pair. Scarlet pulled her cell phone from her belt, opened it, and placed it to her ear.
"Hello," she said. There was a deep breathing before the person replied.
"Scarletina," an old raspy voice said, "Do you have the Zinrin Stone?"
"Actually, no," Scarlet replied. "My mother and kid sister stopped me." Scarlet decided to lie about the whole Kimala thing. Her boss would think she'd completely lost it!
"Such a pity," the voice said. "Regardless I have found the location of the next Meldorian item." the person coughed before continuing.
"You can find it at the Go City Museum." the person said.
"Go City, eh?" Scarlet said. This would give her a chance to get back Team Go. Hego's bratty daughter had helped Kimmie throw Scarlet back in prison, so she never did complete her revenge scheme, "I'll be there quicker then you can say 'Bob's your uncle'"
"Please do." he said before hanging up. Scarlet put her phone back into her belt pocket. She turned her attention to the board's controls once more, and entered in a new code. The board suddenly went from ten miles an hour to seventy miles in a second, heading straight for Go City. Scarlet heard Kimala's voice again.
"Where are you going? I order you to turn around!" Kimala screeched, but Scarlet wasn't listening.
"Sorry, Kimmie, but I don't take orders from you." Scarlet said smugly, "Hmm," she thought, "Prison must have messed me up good. I'm hearing voices now." Kimala heard Scarlet's thoughts and screeched again.
"What! I am not a figment brought up by your insanity! I'm real and I will control you!"
"I'm not listening to you anymore! La la la la la! I can't hear you! La la la la! I'm not listening!" Scarlet said, drowning out every word Kimala said to her throughout the whole trip.

Kim's house. Current day. 5:20 PM.
Kim, Ron, Rufus, and Wade all sat in the living room. Ever since the incident with Team Impossible, Wade had started coming out of his room more often and giving Kim and Ron all of their gadgets personally. It was a major 911 this time. Scarletina had escaped from prison! Wade remembered hearing about her from Team Possible's adventure in Meldoria, Wade wished he could've been there to see that battle. He pulled out a small, saucer looking object and placed it on the coffee table, the saucer was gray and had three buttons. Wade pressed the middle one and the top of the saucer opened and out came a holographic projection of a hazel jewel.
"The Zinrin Stone," Wade said, "that's the jewel Scarlet was after."
"And Kimala." Ron added. Kim gave him warning look.
"Right, and Kimala," Wade said slowly. Who was this Kimala? "Anyway, I did a little digging on the Zinrin Stone and its origins. Apparently whoever possesses it will be given an ultra powerful body."
"That explains why Kimala would want it." Kim thought.
"But why would Scarlet want another body?" Ron said, "I mean, it's not like she's an I-" Kim gave him another warning glance and he immediately remembered what she had said before Wade got here. "Illusion,"
"Why would an illusion need a body? It's not real." Wade said, giving Ron a suspicious look.
"Uh, I don't know," Ron said, almost sounding like he was asking a question. Wade raised an eyebrow.
"Is there something you guys are keeping from me?" Wade asked. Kim and Ron exchanged nervous looks, but Kim was the one to talk.
"Of course not, Wade. We would never keep anything from you." Kim lied. Ron leaned closer to her.
"Haven't we learned that no good comes from lying?" he whispered.
"Quiet, Ron!" Kim whispered back. The redhead and her boyfriend turned back to Wade, who was still looking at them strangely.
"Sorry for the interruption, Wade. Please continue." Kim said with a smile. Wade stared at her for second, as if scanning for any signs that she was lying. If she was, she was covering it well. Ron's expression told Wade otherwise. He looked as guilty as a child that had taken one cookie too many and his parents had caught him red-handed. They were hiding something from him, but what, and why? Despite all his questions, Wade continued.
"Anyway, I wondered why Scarlet would want it too, but I found out that the Zinrin Stone isn't from Earth, it's from-"
"Meldoria," Kim finished proudly.
"Right," Wade said.
"So, let me guess," Kim said, "she's trying to find all of the Meldorian items, and use them to take over the world?"
"Probably," Wade said, "From reports I've read, she was last spotted in Go City last night. According to the authorities, she tried to break into the museum and steal another jewel, but someone stopped her."
"Who?" Ron asked with interest.
"They're not sure, they said Scarletina and whoever stopped her fell behind the building before they could get a good look at the mysterious person, and when they made it behind the building, the person was gone again, there was a strange sliver light coming off of Scarlet and she was laughing hysterically." Wade sighed before continuing. "She took out all of the policemen and ran off." Kim and Ron exchanged nervous looks again. That silver light meant one thing, Kimala. She wasn't inside Kim's mom anymore, but she was inside Scarlet now! This was bad, no, this was worse then bad, it was terrible. Both of them were bad alone, but together, they'd be unstoppable.
"So, where is she now?" Ron asked with a tone that matched the nerve-wrecked expression.
"No one's sure," Wade replied. Ron's eyes widened. Kim stood up from the couch.
"Then I guess we've got a big mission ahead of us," she said. She turned to Wade with a smile.
"Wade, we're gonna need a ride."
