Not much action in this chapter. It is mostly to develop the plot and to see how Shego plans to become a super villian.
A dark light flashed in the room. On the ground a man lay kneeling. He looked like he was in his mid thirties. He had brown, greying hair and dark eyes. He was wearing black combat clothing with armour plated all over it. He was metallic gloves and a metallic looking head band. A robotic lens was attached to his left eye. It was zooming in and out whenever he looked at something. A belt loaded with grenades was strapped around his waste. It was clear that he had many other weapons and equipment loaded into his suit.
"Agent 81" a voice was heard. "Do you understand your mission?"
"I understand, my lords" The man replied. His voice was formal and betraying no emotion.
"After much hard work we have finally located Drakken's lair, your mission is to take a unit of troopers and secure the lair for our own ends."
"I understand, my lords" The man spoke again.
"Remember, that lab has much technology in it. It would be of great value to us. If you fail this, you will suffer."
"I will not fail." The man spoke confidently.
He got up and left the room. A group of armoured figures followed the man. They entered a transport plane. The plane was small and of hi-tech design. It was a black colour that made it hard to see against the dark room. As soon as everyone was loaded up the plane took off. Part of the wall moved to the side revelling a runway and the cold night sky. The plane shot through the runway and entered the air. Silent and almost invisible it flew at a seemingly supernatural speed. Within seconds it was gone.

Shego walked through an empty meadow. It had been at the crack of dawn when she had escaped and now it was midday. The hot sun shinned down on her, causing her to sweat in her stolen prison uniform.
Shego knew that she had to get out of the open. It was only a matter of time before police helicopters would be searching the area. After some more walking she came across a motorway. Shego decided to hitchhike. She adjusted the stolen prison uniform; she unbuttoned several of the buttons on the shirt as well as adjusting the uniform so it would be more revelling, fitting tighter and showing off some flesh. Shego knew that any guy driving a car would stop for a pretty girl and this was a good way to get his attention.
Soon a car stopped by her.
"Hop in" the driver called.
He was a young man who must be around twenty years old. Shego smiled as she got into the car, knowing how correct she was.
Two minutes later Shego was driving off in the car. Its previous owner lay in a ditch on the side of the road with a broken neck.
Shego had gone through the man's pockets before she had left him in a ditch. She had taken his wallet. There was three hundred dollars inside as well as a credit card. This should be enough money she thought. She checked the glove box of the car. She found a bottle of water inside. She quickly gulped it down. Walking in the meadow under the hot sun had made her thirsty.
Shego also found a notepad and a pen. She made a list of what she needed to become a super villain.
A fashionable new look (Shego had realised in prison that her cat suit was dated)
A good supple of equipment and resources.
To regain her reputation as a feared villain.
Skilled henchmen to do her biding.
Shego soon arrived in a small town. She knew that she could not go out during the day so she waited until nightfall before leaving the car. The city has surprisingly warm. It was relaxing to her after spending so long being inside the cell. The night sky was beautiful and full of stars. Shego wanted to find a good spot and stare at the sky. But she remembered that she had a job to do. She headed for the local smarty mart. The warm air bathed around her. She entered the building through the roof and head for the clothing section.
She searched through the clothing but nothing seemed to be right. Too small, too big, wrong colour, wrong look. She was getting desperate when she saw the perfect look. Five minutes later Shego wore her new outfit. Black combat boots, black tight fitting pants, and a short shelved shirt that had the green and black patterns similar to her old cat suit. The material was very strong and would be hard to rip. Shego also choose black gloves and a heavy black coat. The coat was their for pure fashion purposes she would discard it if she got into a fight. To top it off Shego choose the best looking, most expensive pair of sunglasses that she could find. Wearing sunglasses at night was the latest trend amounts villains and Shego did not want of fall behind. She admired her new look in the mirror. She liked the almost all black look. Made her more vengeful looking. This suited her just fine. She was after revenge after all.
Checking her list she crossed off fashion. Now she needed to get some equipment. No super villain would be complete without over the top high tech weapons and other gadgets. Shego knew the best place to get such equipment.
"Drakken's old abandoned lair."
She said out loud. Shego left the smarty mart as quickly and quietly as she had entered. Already thinking of the best way to get to the lair and unaware that she was not the only one who heading there.
Next chapter we shall see how Shego handles the other people who want to take control of Drakken's lair.
