I haveworked hard to get this chapter done quickly. No plot development butit's quitelong and full of action. In otherwordsif you're an action fan your in for a treat.
The six Scourge soldiers jumped down the hole to follow there masters command. Shego got into a fighting stance. If these were Drakken's henchmen they would charge at her blindly. However the Scurge seemed to have a higher breed of henchmen. Instead of trying to fight her hand to hand they drew out lasers rifles and open fired.
Shego immediately dived into cover behind one of Drakken's old dooms day devices, wishing that her plasma powers were still working. The lair was full of old control panels and dooms day devices that could be used as cover, Shego moved quickly from cover to cover, ignoring the laser fire.
The lair was dark and once Shego had put some distance between herself and the Scourge they found it hard to see her. Shego knew her way around Drakken's lair very well and made her way over the emergency smoke screen release. Drakken had created it for escaping if Possible attacked but Shego had a different idea.
"You can run but you can't hide" Agent 81's mocking voice floated across the lair. "We will find you."
You should be the one who is running the pale skinned women thought. Quickly she activated the smokescreen. Several vents sprayed out a black, think smoke that made it impossible to see anything beyond 10 feet. Once the room was full of smoke she sprang into action.
Shego moved through the smoke like a phantom. She could hear the sound of the Scourge soldiers moving. Quickly and quietly she sunk up on one of the soldiers, grabbing his neck in both her hands and twisting it, the loud crack confirming that she had broken his neck. "Number 127, do you copy?" A voice came through the ear piece that the dead Scourge soldier was wearing. Shego smiled and moved on to her next target. One down, five to go.
The second Scourge soldier was standing by exit to the facility. Obviously to stop her escaping. Shego sighed. These morons did not know that she had no intent of escape. She was only attacking this man to stop him escaping. Silently she moved towards him, hoping to kill him stealthily as she had killed the first soldier. Unfortunately for Shego her foot hit the remains of one of Drakken's robots; the clang alerted the Scourge soldier to her presence. Shego cursed under her breath, she had suffered from enough bad luck when fighting against Possible, would her bad luck ever end? Shego lunged at the man before he could take aim; she landed a powerful punch into his throat that made him choke and followed up with a kick to the groin, causing him to double over pain. She kneed him in the directly in the face, breaking his noise and knocking him out.
Unfortunately the sound of the fight had given away her position and now the other Scourge members and they were moving in. Shego saw one of them emerge from the smoke. She lunged towards him as he took aim. She knocked his gun aside as he pulled the trigger; the laser bolt was fired off to the side harmlessly. Shego elbowed him in the unprotected side of his head and with her other arm knocked his gun out of his hands. The Scourge soldier threw a punch which Shego caught and she twisted his arm painfully behind his back. She was about to finish him off when she noticed another Scourge soldier taking aim. Thinking fast she pulled the disarmed soldier in front of her, using him as a human shield. He took the blast squarely to the chest, killing him instantly. Shego used a judo throw to throw the dead soldier into the living one, knocking him down before he could get another shot. Before the living soldier could get back to his feet Shego was upon him. She used a roundhouse kicked to the head which knocked him back to the ground and knocked his face mask off. She finished him with a chop kick into his unprotected head that broke his skull and left him dead or unconscious. Shego did not care, she was through with caring.
The remaining two Scourge soldiers faced her. By know they had working out that ranged weapons were not much good in a room full of smoke so they were using melee weapons. One of them was using a staff that glowed with energy. The other had a pair of Wolverine style claws. The two circled her, both now aware of what she could do. With a quick nod they both charged at the same time. The one with the staff swung at her, Shego did a back flip to avoid it. As she landed she kicked out, knocking the staff out of his hands and a second kick knocking him to the ground. The soldier with the claws did several fast swipes at her. Shego dodged all the blows. The soldier attempted to gut her with the claws only have Shego grab one or his arms and twist it painfully. She kicked out at the back of his knee, knocking him to his knees. She did a roundhouse kick to his face, knocking him to the ground and finished him with a chop kick and knocked him out.
Shego heard a rushing sound behind her and turned, quickly blocking a kick from the other Scourge soldier who had now recovered from her kick. Shego ducked a second punch and did several fast punches into his chest and stomach. However the man's torso armour protected him from the worst of the blows. He swung a punch that caught Shego on the jaw. He tried to punch her again but Shego caught his arm and flipped him over her shoulder. She followed through with a side kick that sent the man flying into some of the machinery. He hit several live wires was electrocuted.
By now most of the smoke had now cleared and Shego looked around. All six henchmen were lying, unmoving on the ground either dead or unconscious. She looked at Agent 81 who had been watching the whole fight.
"Trust the Scourge to give me third rate soldiers." He seemed to mutter to no one but himself. "Ah, well. If you want a job done, you've got to do it yourself."
With that he jumped down the hole. Several blades shot out of his glove, one for each finger, and he got go into a material arts stance. So, he knows some material arts Shego thought to herself, well let's see what he's got. To two lunged at each other and were soon engaged in a fierce material arts battle.
At first Shego was surprised, Agent 81 as actually a good fighter. Shego's fighting was also rusty. It had been a whole year since she had fought another trained material artist in a proper fight. She caught a kick in the stomach and was knocked to the ground. Agent 81 dived at her, trying to impale her with his claws. Shego rolled out of the way and was soon back on her feet. The pair were soon fighting again. Shego ducked under Agent 81's defences and landed a punch into his stomach only to have his torso armour protect him from the blow. Agent 81 responded with an elbow to the side of the face and a round house kick that knocked Shego to the ground for a second time. He lunged at her to impale her with his claws. Instead of rolling out of the way Shego twisted to one side as the claws slide past, narrowly missing her. Before Agent 81 could recover Shego kicked out, hitting him in his rib area, one of the few areas that were not protected by the torso armour. The Scourge agent was sent flying into a wall.
Agent 81 got back to his feet and charged at Shego. The pale skinned women did a back flip as he lunged at her. Her foot contacted with his jaw and knocked him down. She tried to chop kick him but the agent blocked the blow and was soon back on his feet.
The two were soon back to fighting in a material arts battle. Agent 81 tried a long strike with his claws but he over extended, Shego caught his arm and judo throw to send him flying across the room. He's not that good; Shego thought to herself, if she still had her plasma powers she would have won this fight by now. Agent 81 got back to his feet. He took a grenade from his belt and threw it at Shego. The pale skinned women jumped out of the way. Agent 81 threw a second grenade. This time Shego kicked the grenade, sending it back at Agent 81 who was not expected such a move. The blast knocked him down as Shego moved in to take advantage of this Agent 81 frantically lashed out with his claws, scoring a lucky strike on Shego's stomach.
Shego looked down. The cut was not very deep but it still hurt. The real problem was that she would have to get a new shirt now. Her anger over took her and Shego charged at the Scourge agent who was caught off guard by the sudden attack. He blocked several of Shego's attacks before a kick caught him into the stomach. He was hit by several fast punches in the face. Frantically Agent 81 lashed out with his claws but Shego grabbed his arm and twisted it painfully. She kicked the elbow, causing a loud crack, breaking his arm. Agent 81 cried out in pain, Shego head butted him, breaking several of his teeth. As the agent staggered backwards in pain, Shego did a powerfully spinning jumped kick that knocked him to the ground. He lay unmoving but he was still conscious.
Shego picked up the dazed Scourge agent by the throat and pushed him against a wall. She pulled of his torso armour started punching him repeatedly in the stomach, chest and face. When she thought she had given him enough of a beating Shego grabbed his head and twisted it, not enough to break his neck but enough to cause him a lot of pain.
"I could kill you right now!" Shego hissed, Agent 81 moaned in pain. Shego stared at the man's face. His cocky features were now gone. His eyes were full of fear, fear of her. Shego enjoyed this feeling of power, everyone would be like this if she became a super villain and ruled the world. She thought about killing the man but decided against it. He would be a useful tool to help her rebuild her reputation as a deadly super villain.
"But I won't kill you. Instead I want you to deliver a message to whoever you are working for. Tell this Scourge group that Shego is back and she did this to you and your men. Tell them now."
Shego glanced behind her; several of the Scourge soldiers were struggling back to their feet.
"You should call off your men, unless you want me to hurt you some more."
She let go of Agent 81 who pressed a button on her wrist. A siren sounded and Agent 81 and his surviving men ran out of Drakken's lair as fast as they could. Shego followed them to the outside were she saw a small black transport plane of hi-tech design, it was much larger than Billy's jet but it was still smaller than most transport planes. Agent 81 and his three surviving men ran into the plane which took off immediately. Shego laughed as she watched the plane leave. It felt good to send those wannabe super villains packing. She wondered if the rest of Scourge was as wimpy as the ones she just fought. The pale skinned women sighed; it had been a long time since she had had a good laugh. However her good feeling was soon replaced by a worry. What happened to Billy? Had they caught him or had he flown off at first sight of danger. Shego quickly made her way over to the spot where Billy's jet was. To her relief she found Billy and the jet unharmed. Billy had seen the Scourge plane coming and had been clever enough to drive the jet behind several large trees so it would remain unseen.
"Thanks for helping me out there Billy!" She spoke sarcastically.
"Hey, you're paying me to fly not to fight." Billy responded.
With a sigh Shego went back to the lair, to collect all the equipment she would need to be a super villain.
This was my first attempt at doing a big action scean. What did you think? Did I do a good job? Review, review, review!
