"Clack, Clack, Clack, Clackity, Clack."

Dear Drew,

Due to amazing developments I resi…

"No that's not it! Let's try again."

Dear Drew,

I hereby…

"Dammit that's not it either!"

Dear Drew,

F YOU! I QUIT!

SHEGO

"That's more like it!" Shego posted the email and sat for a moment. Sniff, Sniff, 'Mmmm… What are they cooking down there?'

"You've got a Gram!" her mailbox said.

"!" 'An email… from Him! I haven't seen him in so long… Ron'll get a kick out of this!'

Be It Known On This Date 6-15-2004,

You Audience is requested by HSH William The Third, The Sovereign Prince of Monaco.

Post Haste.

PS: He misses you.

Sheila printed out the gram and stuck it in her hip pocket, left her desk in her study, and took the servant's elevator to the first floor and watched from the kitchen doorway as her beau Ron Stoppable, and her majordomo Jenkins puttered around inside.

"So what you're saying Sir… is the combination of ground truffles, chocolate, and liqueurs are incomplete without cinnamon?"

"That's right Jenks, it's just NOT the same without that twist of cinnamon… and y'all know what that means!"

Shego winked at Jenkins and crept up to Ron, wrapped her arms around his waist and said, "Hi." while nuzzling the nape of his neck.

"Hi yourself, did you send it?"

"Yeah… He'll bitch about it but who cares… Whatcha makin' Hon?" Squeeze.

"It was supposed to be a surprise desert… wanna lick the spoons?" Ron said as he gave her two wooden spoons coated with a scarlet batter and a brown batter.

"MMMM!… What is it?" she said as she tasted the scarlet batter.

"I was showing Jenks here how to make my quietly famous marbled cheesecakes…"

"Is that Chambord I'm tasting?"

"Yeah… Try the 'chocolate' one."

"MMMM! I KNOW this flavor… Uh…" Ron smiles.

"What is it?" Shego coaxed, "Please tell me." She purred.

"No. You have to guess… I'm not telling!"

"You sure about that?" She said with a wicked gleam in her eye.

'Uh Oh…'

"HRRMMM, I remembered something I have to do Madam, Sir." Jenkins said as he left the room.

"Hey… Hey! Don't leave me hangin' here like this Dude!"

"I have you in my EVIL clutches now Ron Stoppable. Tell me the secret ingredient or else…"

"Or else what?" he said as Sheila turned him around and leaned him against the island.

"Or else this," Sheila proceeded to nibble his neck working her way to Ron's sweet spot.

'I'm done for,' Ron thought as his hands drifted down her back to cup her butt when he felt the printout in her hip pocket.

"?"

"What's that in your pocket?"

"What's what?"

"The paper in your pocket."

"It's a… surprise."

"Really… C'mere!" Ron grabbed Sheila picked her up and plopped her onto a cleared space on the island.

"Kiss c'mon… nuzzle… tell me… please?" Ron said.

"No! (Giggle) Not until dinner."

"You leave me no choice woman… I'll have to use it!"

"You wouldn't DARE!"

"You had your chance… face the awesome might of… Hound Dog's Eyes!" Ron proceeded to stare at Sheila with his version of the Puppy Dog Pout!

"Ok, Ok, Ok! You first!"

"I put Bailey's, truffles, and a twist of cinnamon in the 'chocolate' cheesecake batter. You like?"

"Yes!" 'He's gonna make me FAT!'

"Ok you're next, whatcha got in those badically filled jeans besides your badically curved and toned legs and…"

"RON!"

"Just talkin'!"

"Here!"

Ron read the document and went, "BOOYAH!"

"So what do you wear when you appear before Monaco's Royalty?"

"You… kiss… just… Kiss… leave… Kiss… that… KISs… to… KISS… me." (Tongues!)

"MM" 'OK!'

Meanwhile at Dr. Drakken's Caribbean lair…

"WHAT! SHE CAN'T DO THAT…can she?" an enraged Dr. Drakken whimpered.

"Don't worry Herr Doctor… we will help you." came a voice from the shadows on Drakken's right.

"Yes Herr Doctor… we WILL help you get your revenge on Kim Possible's sidekick." Said an identical voice to Drakken's left.

"All you have to do is join us." they chorused as they stepped into the light.

"YOU! You're supposed to be… wait why are there two of you… which one's the clone… and what's the buffoon got to do with this anyway?" he asked the Barons Strucker.

"Join us and ALL will be revealed."

Demonic Smile, "DEAL!"

---

Now Victor Creed of the Exiles was a reasonable sort… at times, but when it came to losing out to a kid, even a battle blooded kid like Ron Stoppable he was like any other guy that's jonesin' for some lovin' from his now ex-girl…

"I'm gonna KICK his sorry ass in front of her… That'll show her I'm the ONLY guy for her… Punk Kid!"

"I'll just follow 'em and wait for my chance…"

---

Somewhere in the Caribbean…

Two villains were discussing their options, now that The Rook and his team had bested HYDRA in battle…

"Do you think they were fooled by your disguise, Herr Smith?" asked the Real Baron Strucker.

"Yes my friend… the synthiflesh and the vocoder worked perfectly. How soon will we acquire the items we need to defeat Team Possible?"

"Your son is on site now with our master technician, there shouldn't be any complications."

"Just make sure the Technician follows orders and is NOT seen… His appearance is considered a bit… outré by other's standards. He is too valuable a… commodity to lose."

"Your son is well aware of this Mein Herr…"

"Call our friends in Singapore… Tell them that I want Her on site as a reserve… They must not fail!"

"Yes Mein Herr."

---

While Ron, Sheila, Victor, Drakken and Co. were making their arrangements a certain personage from the Avengers reserve list was visiting Prince William of Monaco.

"It is so good to see you after all these years! What brings you to my humble home?" said Prince William.

"I wished to see how my descendants, the people of Monaco, have fared after all this time." He replied.

"You honor us with your presence Sir. My Palace is yours.'

6-16-2004
0900 hrs

Ron, Sheila, and Jenkins boarded her plane at Ruzyne International Airport, flew to Côte d'Azur International Airport in Nice, France. They transferred to the Prince's jetcopter and flew to The Palais Princier in Monaco-Ville where they were greeted by a graying crewcut, mustachioed gentleman, Col. Henri Dupreé, the Commander of the Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince and William III's Honor Guard.

"Mademoiselle, it's been too long since you graced us with your presence. Truly your beauty is timeless…" Col. Dupreé said, "Ah where are my manners… who is your young friend?"

"Henri this is Ron Stoppable," Sheila said as she linked her fingers with Ron's. "He's…"

"Ah! Say no more! He is the other half of the famous Team Possible, and if I'm not mistaken he works for a mutual friend. Yes?"

"Dude you know my name! Coolio!"

"Monsieur… I am just an old soldier, but I know courage when I see it. If you EVER need anything from this old warrior please ask."

"Thanks, Dude!"

"And now I shall take you to your rooms, you must forgive me, but I have MANY arrangements to attend to… the prince is having a ball in your Honor Mademoiselle." And with that Henri escorted them to their rooms.

Ron and Sheila got adjoining rooms while Jenkins was placed across the hall.
Ron opened the door that joined their suites and leaned on the jamb while watching Sheila unpack.

"So how do you know everyone here so well?" he asked while admiring the view.

"The Prince and my Dad served in NATO together years ago, and I got to hang out with him during some SHIELD missions." 'That's for starters.'

"Cool! So… wanna give me a tour of the place 'Mademoiselle'?"

"Why certainly Monsieur!"

Meanwhile at the famous Fairmont Monte Carlo…

The Chameleon and his partner were scheming on how to smuggle the two LMD's out of the country.

"Your contact WOULD have to set the sale in THE MOST HEAVILY POLICED CITY PER CAPITA on the planet!"

"I am sorry my friend… these retired Soviet GRU colonels can be quite difficult. He is the best however. Soon we will have the items and will return with them to Herr Smith's facility."

"Just make sure you're 'creations' are able to keep what passes for the 'military' here in check!"

"You worry too much! My 'creations' as you call them will be able to do the job. Just make sure you do yours."

"Father made it VERY clear, if it can be done, kill the prince, Shego, AND Team Possible, ESPECIALLY that troublesome Ron Stoppable!"

"Knock, Knock! Room service!"

"Hide!" the Chameleon said to his partner as he went to answer the door.

"Yes?"

"I have your breakfast Sir!" the 20 yr old server said.

"Bring it in!"

The server wheeled the cart in when he heard a 'clunk' from the bathroom.

"What's that sir?"

"Nothing. Here's your tip. Now leave I'm a busy man!"

"Clunk, Clatter, Clatter… OOf!"

"Someone's hurt in there Sir!" the server said as went to the suite's bathroom and opened the door, "I'll help them… don't worry Sir…. Your secret's safe with… AAAHHH…" "Whack!" "Ohhh…"

"You fool… I TOLD you to HIDE… Not to make enough noise to draw attention to yourself… we must hurry!"

"Is he dead?"

"No."

"Good. I'll take a biopsy then, and we'll be on our way…"

"Hurry!"

"Why don't you eat your meal while I finish."

"No… I can't… It's too much… seeing the way you LOOK and watching you take a biopsy is too much… even I have my limits!" the Chameleon said to none other than Arnim Zola.

---

While the Chameleon tried to gag down his Breakfast a walking nightmare checked in after Kim Possible and Barbara Morse-Barton checked in.

"Yes Sir! How may I help you!"

"I need a room Garcon… whatcha got?" growled Victor Creed as he towered over the counter and clawed furrows into it.

"Here you go SIR! On the house… the Executive Suite!"

"URRR…" 'Guy's makin' me hungry, smells like a rodent!' Creed thought as he went to his suite.

---

Monaco-Ville
The Palais Princier
Ballroom
1900 hrs

An Emerald gowned Sheila met a tuxedoed Ron outside their rooms.

"You LOOK fantastic, M'sieur!" Sheila said.

"And you look BADICAL, Mam'selle!" Ron said.

"Are you 'dressed'?" She asked.

"Yeah… I found out the 'bo can change size… I discovered another trick too!"

"What is it!"

"Later! We don't want to keep the prince waiting."

"!"

Sheila let him escort her down the stairs to the ballroom below where the Prince and his guests waited.

She took Ron's hand and wove her way through the crowd over to the throne where the Prince sat. The Prince was a 6', athletic, leonine visaged man in his 50s with a shoulder-length shock of steely hair.

"Majesty, it is an honor." Sheila and Ron chorused as they curtsied and bowed respectively.

"Please, please sit with me… Sheila you know YOU of all people don't have to be SO formal with me!" said the Prince as he rose from his seat and HUGGED Sheila.

"!" Ron thought.

"Would this be the young man I've heard SO MUCH about from Col. Dupreé, Ronald Stoppable?"

"Yes he is Majesty!" she said. BLUSHING!

"It is an honor sir!" Ron said as he bowed to William III.

"The honor is mine to meet a warrior such as yourself; you do your Great Grandfather's memory proud. You MUST be a special young man to make her blush like this. Come sit with me. I believe three of your friends are here Mr. Stoppable. Ah here they come now!"

Kim and Bobbi were dressed in black evening gowns, while Rufus was perched on Bobbi's shoulder in a tux. They were making their way towards the Prince's throne when Kim received the shock of her life… Ron was sitting next to Shego, who was sitting next to the Prince while their hands were entwined with hers.

'Keep it TOGETHER girl don't let Shego see you sweat!' Kim thought.

"Are you gonna be ok?" Bobbi whispered to Kim.

"I'll have to be." she whispered back.

'AWW MAN… I HOPE THEY DON'T START A FIGHT HERE! WOW KP LOOKS BADICAL IN THAT DRESS!' Ron thought.

"Majesty, it's an honor to be here!" Kim said to the Prince, "I didn't know you knew my partner!"

"We just met. Ms. Possible it's a singular honor to have Team Possible in the Palace! Please make yourselves comfortable. Would you like a refreshment?"

"Please and Thank You!" Kim said as she curtsied and sat.

"Dr. Morse-Barton, as always it's a pleasure. I hope that research grant for your ecological study was helpful?"

"Yes it was Majesty, thank you so very much!"

"It was my pleasure."

"And this must be Rufus. My, you're dashing in that tuxedo!"

"Thank You, Sire!" he chirped.

"Rufus! Buddy!" Ron said as gave him the thumbs up.

After they got settled in Kim decided to ask the Prince a Question.

"Sooo… Your Highness… how is it that you know She…" Kim said.

"Sheila's father and I served in NATO together… he was hapless around her while she was growing up… So my late wife and I took an interest in her education and sent her to finishing school. We paid for her college and her other 'skills'…" said the Prince, "She's a Daughter to me MS. Possible." This last said with a humorous glint in his eye.

'Uh Oh, looks like the Prince knows about these two… I better do something… Quick!' "Uh hey KP, wanna dance?"

"Sure Ron, I'd love to!" Kim said in front of a shocked Sheila Goble. 'Gotcha BITCH!'

"Please make sure to return here when you're done. I have an announcement to make. We have a surprise guest!"

"!" they all thought.

"Don't worry my Dear," the Prince said to Sheila, "your paramour's trying to be a diplomat where you two are concerned."

---

As they danced Emerald Joy and Sorrow looked into Chocolate Compassion… Quiet measure was taken by each soul…

"Sooo… how's it goin' KP, are the Drs P Squared Ok?"

"Yeah they're fine… they miss you."

"How's Wade?"

"He's Ok… kinda miffed that he's not allowed access to SHIELD's data core… Mom's keeping him busy with her projects though… She's got one that has her running over to Colorado Springs a LOT… the Tweebs are driving Dad crazy as usual… You?"

"I'm trying to get used to these new powers… and live up to The Director's expectations now that I'm a Major now… Getting used to hangin' with Sheila… It's a good thing she's got a fully equipped kitchen… cooking and spending time with her are the only outlets I have with all the studying and all… How's Rufus?"

"He's Fine… getting used to being our Quartermaster now that he's a Master Warrant Officer… Fine, except for that GORCHY cigar habit of his…"

"Sorry about that… I don't know who he picked that up from…"

"So what's she like… Sheg… uh Sheila I mean?"

"She's tough on the outside, but a lot like you on the inside… That's probably why you two are always fighting… you're like sisters I mean… we're still takin' it day by day… it's deep."

"So… you're real… close… to her huh?"

"…"

"What do you mean?"

"Uh…" SCARLET!

"…"

"No Kim… we haven't… I'm saving… for marriage… She RESPECTS that…"

'KP's Jellin'… over Sheila! Badical! Huh!'

'Yes! I've still got a chance! What!'

"How about you… and the Mankey sitch. You two getting serious yet?"

"Uh… No."

'?'

"Ron. I need to apologize… I've been freaking out over the past few days… about you… and uh your Aunt had to set me straight on several things…"

"…"

"She Told You… Didn't she?"

"Yeah. So why'd you DO it, weren't you scared?"

"Yeah, but I was more scared of seeing my uncle dealing with being alone after losing someone that brought out the BEST in him… she's a LOT like you… and so I volunteered…"

"You KNEW the risks and did it anyway?"

"Yeah… I'd do even more for YOU… and everyone else I know…"

At this point the lights dimmed and the band segued to a slow number, Kim and Ron melted into each other…

'This FEELS SO RIGHT… WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING…? CRUSHING ON GUYS LIKE Josh Mankey… RON'S ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME… BOBBI WAS RIGHT… SMOOTH MOVE POSSIBLE, YOU WAITED TOO LONG AND NOW HE'S WITH SHEILA… DO I EVEN HAVE A CHANCE?"

"…"

'MAN! THIS IS SOOO AWESOME! I'M HERE WITH KIM… DANCING WITH HER! SHEILA'S GREAT BUT THIS… THIS… THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE… WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?'

---

Minutes later the lights came up and Emerald and Chocolate gazed at each other with a NEW measure born from respect…

"Ron… If Sheila makes you happy… then that's all that matters, you deserve ALL the happiness you can get… You EARNED it. Bobbi's right… You Ron Stoppable ARE a MAN!"

'?' he thought.

"Uh, Thanks KP, coming from YOU that means a… LOT. C'mon we've got to get back with the others!"

---

After Kim and Ron rejoined the Prince's retinue, Crown Prince William rose to address his guests.

"My dear friends, it is an honor to have you here at my Ball. Originally it was being held in my adopted Daughter Sheila's Honor. I am proud to say that she has returned to the fold as it were, and she's been blessed to find bliss with none other than Ronald Stoppable of Team Possible fame."

Applause.

"I also take it as a sign that we have been doubly blessed to have an august personage here with us tonight. As some of you know my humble country starts with the Ligurian city state in the 6th Century BC and was blessed by having one of the Gods of Olympus merge his bloodline with ours…"

"!" Kim, Ron, Bobbi, and Rufus thought.

"My Friends I Give You The God…"

"Hercules!"

---

"Thank you Majesty! It has been a Long time since the Son of Zeus has walked these hallowed halls and upon the shores of this land! Truly my Sons and Daughters you have done well by creating such a beautiful land…" Hercules said as he looked at the assembled.

While Kim and Ron had been dancing, two men had slipped into the ball and now were weaving their way through the crowd while The Prince and Hercules spoke to the assembled guests.

One was Victor Creed of the Exiles, and the other was The Chameleon. Each of them had a score to settle with Ron Stoppable. One man; Victor Creed, known as Sabertooth, was interested in 'kicking his butt', the other a Dmitri Smerdyakov, known to the world as The Chameleon was on a mission to assassinate Team Possible, Shego, The Prince of Monaco, and any others that got in the way.

The plot that Sabertooth had against Ron was understandable yet flawed; a fella's ticked 'cause someone 'stole' 'his' girl.

The Chameleon's attempt against our heroes was QUITE insane due to several reasons:

1) He hadn't factored in the presence of Hercules.
2) Ron's ever growing abilities hadn't been factored in either.
3) Don't underestimate Murphy's Law.
4) Although it's true that there's a small military force in Monaco, there's a TINY reason you don't attack its Crown Prince.
5) Don't come to ANY fight under armed.

As The Chameleon and Sabertooth 'stealthily' moved toward Ron from the right and left, our heroes sensed something…

"!" 'What's this? Two villains attempt treachery in the presence of the Son of Zeus? And BOTH are aiming at one worthy of my gift? Ha! This WILL prove to be great sport indeed!' Hercules thought as his combat honed instincts came into play.

'Smell Big Cat again… getting closer! Must warn Ron!' thought Rufus as he armed his blaster, crept off of Bobbi's shoulder and got on Ron's instead.

'Something's wrong,' Kim thought, 'Zola looks too bizarre to get into Monaco alone… he had help… who was it… and where are they? Glad I brought the Kimmunicator… might need it!'

'Why's the bo squeezing my wrist like this… uh oh!' Ron thought, 'Rufus just hopped on my shoulder with his blaster armed!'

'The hair's rising on the back of my neck,' Shego thought, 'something's UP!'

'The Chameleon's here… he's the ONLY one that could smuggle Zola in… watch it Girl!' thought Mockingbird.

In one split second… all hell broke LOOSE!

"BAM!" went Rufus' blaster.

The Chameleon tapped the comlink clipped to his belt twice to signal Arnim Zola to begin his stage of the attack… and lunged forward to shoot Ron, Shego, Kim AND The Prince with a flechette pistol!

"EEEEEEEEE!" a woman screamed from within the crowd.

Sabertooth leaped forward to protect Shego by taking several hits while his mutant senses alerted him of the danger…

Hercules 'tapped' the ballroom floor with his feet to create a shockwave that would render The Chameleon's aim harmless, unless you were the ballroom ceiling…

Shego shielded The Prince and powered up…

Kim went to mission mode…

Ron's bo projected an energy shield to protect himself and his friends…

This leads us to the reason that you DON'T EVER ATTACK Monaco's Crown Prince…

The country is CHOCK FULL of armed citizens that love and respect him as a FELLOW warrior, which is why the guests were whipping out a menagerie of machine pistols. MP5's to H & K VX-70 machine pistols were pulled out of various holsters. All weapons were trained on the would-be assassin.

That included a small molerat that had managed to get a shot off that severed the Chameleon's comlink from his belt.

---

While a Monegasque version of a Mexican standoff was being held in the Palace's ballroom Arnim Zola was on the now derelict Ludovic, a mini oil tanker docked outside the port of Fontvielle, waiting for a signal (that was unable to penetrate the hull) from his partner to activate his 'creations', to cover their escape and removal of their ill-gotten gains from Monaco.

"Since he hasn't given the signal I'll assume the worst…" he said while harvesting tissue from the GRU colonel he'd just pithed.

A metal port that rested between his headless shoulders clacked open to release a head-sized device that Zola called his ESP box. When the box was fully extended to head height, he released an energy pulse that caused several of his synthetic lifeforms that were seeded throughout Monaco to explode gas and power lines, and others to mutate into horrific forms that wreaked havoc throughout the tiny kingdom.

---

"?" thought everyone in the ballroom but the Chameleon as the lights went out.

"Someone stop him! He's getting away!" the Prince cried as the Chameleon made a break.

"I've got 'im!" cried Sabertooth as he pursued the Chameleon.

"How's he gonna catch him?" Ron asked, "Who's that guy anyway?"

"That's my ex… Sabertooth, when he says he'll get someone he will!" Shego said.

"Your EX!" 'AWWWWWW MMMAAAANNNN! Hey wait I… he thinks I stole his girl… Coolio!' "So… YOU DATED THIS GUY AND DIDN'T TELL ME?"

"Hon… I'm telling you now…"

"You SO don't know how to run a relationship! We're talking about everything when this is over!" Stony Serious Face.

'Wow! Ron's REALLY Pissed with her… Heh.' Kim thought.

"Majesty!" Col. Dupreé said to the Prince as the emergencies came on, "We're receiving reports of 'monsters' ravaging the countryside, especially around the Fontvielle harbor… your people… the militia ARE handling them there but they're threatened with being overrun…"

"Majesty, Team Possible, Hercules, and I will do everything we can to help! The Chameleon must be planning to escape there." Mockingbird said. "Col. Dupreé… tell your men to use incendiary rounds against Zola's creatures, they're protoplasmic in nature and are Very vulnerable to fire!"

"Pardon me Madam," Jenkins said as he walked through the crowd with a duffel, "But I think you need to change into your 'work' gear."

"You're right." And with that Shego tapped her watch and transformed her gown into a stealth version of her uniform.

Kim, Ron, Mockingbird, and Rufus did the same.

"How…" Kim said to Shego.

"When Reed Richards comes through on a favor sister, he comes THROUGH!" said Shego.

"Oh." 'What's that on the floor? I'll grab this for later!'

"Commander," Jenkins said to William III as he handed him a comlink, a spare Energy Cuirass and fusion powered MHD Turbine Gun from Stark International™, "would you do me the honor of wearing this before we fight side by side just like old times?"

"It's an honor and privilege, Gunny!" William said as he got 'dressed'.

---

The Chameleon morphed his features into those of a nondescript firefighter in the Palace guard and walked off site…

As he did this a hunter was stalking its prey…

---

"My Countrymen it is time to take the fight to the Enemy!" William said to the assembled, "All those that are combat capable should talk to Col. Dupreé for your assignments… Hercules your people need your strength in this most dire hour… will you lead the charge?"

"Majesty, the Son of Zeus stands with you!"

"My friends," William asked our heroes, "are you ready?"

"Yes Sir!"

"Then let's begin."

---

Monstrous abominations ran amok through the palace grounds and the streets of the Port of Fontvielle and other parts of Monaco.

The tide was beginning to turn against the Palace's defenders until Hercules dressed in a tux no less leaped forward, summoned his Adamantine mace and proceeded to splatter the monster's in the immediate vicinity.

Kim and Ron leaped forward as the Heart and Hammer and reversed their roles, with Kim being a nimble distraction while Ron burned them on the spot with blasts from his Bo.

'Coolio! So this is what she feels when we tangle with villains. I LIKEY!'

Shego provided cover while Jenkins and William waded into combat with the Carabiniers and burned and splattered the enemy with energy blasts from their Turbine Guns.

Rufus and Mockingbird teamed up, with Mockingbird slashing the monstrosities open with her bo and Rufus tossing nanocharges from her thigh pouch into their wounds and detonating them when she pole-vaulted them out of range…

Within minutes the battle was over.

"Col. Dupreé tell the fire and EMS crews to send all the wounded the hospitals can't handle here. And also tell the Palace physician to gear up to MCI (Mass Casualty Incident) status."

"Yes Sire!"

"My friends I thank you for your assistance…"

"Pardon me Majesty," Mockingbird said after talking to Ron, "but I believe we have a way to stop the other creatures."

"Go on."

"I have a company of Guardmen that can fight with you, while they're doing that we can try to shut off Zola's ESP Box. When we find Zola and shut down his Box the creatures should stop."

"So how do we find him?"

"Uh… Your Majesty I have an Idea." Kim said as she clicked on her Kimmunicator and pulled out the item that she found on the Palace floor from her pocket.

"What up Kim?"

"Hey Wade, I need this analyzed… I think it's a comlink that The Chameleon dropped in the Palace…"

"Stat?"

"Yes. Please and Thank You!"

While Wade ran a trace Mockingbird gave instructions to the Guardsmen's commander to link their forces with William's Carabiniers and transmitted codes to link them.

"Hmmm. I don't know Kim. It looks like they've got some HEAVY encrypt… GOT IT I'm in! Let's see… tracking the signal by pinging the IT functions on the link… tracking…"

"ZZZT!" which fried while it was being hacked.

"No!" Kim cried.

"It's COOL Kim… got your trace… flashing coordinates and schematics to you now!"

"Thanks! You Rock, Wade!"

"Wade's info says the link was trying to transmit to a Russian mini tanker…" Kim said as she used the Kimmunicator's holoprojector to display Wade's data. "…name of the Ludovic… owned by a retired GRU colonel… boarding her isn't a prob… getting there is."

"No it isn't Kim," a Catgrinned Ron said, "We can fly over."

"?" everyone thought as they looked at Ron.

"Ok. I'll bite," said Shego, "How?"

"I learned I can do this!" Ron focused and a cloud formed under his feet that levitated him off the ground. "Isn't it cool?"

"!"

"Hon… how… I mean… when?"

"I just knew how 2 days ago. I can make it any size I want."

"OK! THERE'S NO WAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO FLY ON A 'CLOUD' TO THAT TANKER… RON!"

"So it's true." Hercules said as he stepped forward. "You have the Mark of Hanuman. I trust you."

"!" Kim & Co.

"Sire." Hercules said, "The feats of Hanuman are legendary even among the Gods of Olympus, it's our BEST way to get warriors to the tanker!"

"And it's silent too, KP!" Ron added. Kim Glare.

"Hon… can you REALLY do it?"

"Yeah."

"Then I'm in… What about you Princess?" KIM GLARE!

"Ok, I'm in too." 'She's NOT gonna hold this over my head!'

"So am I." Mockingbird.

"Me too!" Rufus.

"Ok what about you Hercules? Jenks?" Ron asked.

"We're going to help the Prince clean up this Bloody mess, Sir. Keep an eye on the ladies, Sir."

"Ron," Prince William of Monaco said as he hugged Shego, "Keep an eye on my Goddaughter, ALL OF YOU COME BACK SAFE AND SOUND."

"I will Sir, and we will."

And with that our heroes climbed onto Ron's cloud and whooshed off…

End Part I
