What's Anime?
A/N: The second part of the anime adventures continues. Enjoy!
Previously on the Exciting High School Adventures of Kim Possible...
"I am tired of you always standing in my way Kim Possible! Therefore I will take this school back and rule it with an iron plasma covered fist!"
"Not if I can do anything about it!"
"Yay, go Kim-chan! As your best friend Aito-chan will bolster the student body to your cause. We won't let Shego take us down! We are united under the face of Kim-chan!"
"I sense a disturbance in the force, Rufusu. It must be Shego and her minions again. We have to stop them."
Currently on the Exciting High School Adventures of Kim Possible...
"Shego stop this!" Kim exclaimed as she sent three of Shego's men flying with a roundhouse sweep kick. "We need to work together not against!"
"I already told you Kimmie, I have everything I could ever want here. Power, loyal followers, great anime hair. Why should I want to leave this world?" Shego sent green plasma blasts at Kim's head, the red head dodging them at the same time she maneuvered around extended fists and feet. All the other students had vacated the halls, leaving only Aito-chan behind, the girl ardently cheering for her friend.
"Really? All it takes is great hair to win you over?" Kim frowned, knocking a couple more goons out. But no matter how many she fought, more seemed to appear and she really needed to leave so she could stop the rocket explosions going on in the rest of the school. There was no telling how much damage had been done. And the teachers were probably useless in doing anything about it.
"Hey, I mentioned power."
"Over teens. TEENS, Shego." Kim was hoping that by pointing out the absurdity of this all Shego would come back to her senses.
But all the green skinned woman did was smirk. "Jealous?"
"Hardly. We don't belong here Shego. And the longer we stay in this world, the more damage we could do to the continuity of it."
"And I'm supposed to give a damn why-?"
Kim didn't know what else to say, so she went out on a limb. "Because you're not that evil."
That was the wrong thing to say because Shego's eyes narrowed. "Not that evil? I'll show you not that evil!" Her whole body began to glow green and the walls shook as she levitated off the floor. Holy smokes, had Shego's powers gotten stronger?
"Kim-chan, use your transformation to fight Shego."
"My what?" Kim cast a confused glance over her shoulder at Aito.
"Your magical girl transformation. You know, the one you use when no one else is around so you can keep it a secret," Aito whispered, casting surreptitious glances up and down the halls.
"Uh..." so Kim was a magical girl? That explained her super strength and supreme athleticism. The only issue was- "How do I access those powers again?"
"Oh Kim-chan, you're so silly. You have to do the dance and say the magic words!"
"Which are-?"
"Purity wins!" Aito exclaimed, doing a super cheesy dance before striking a heroic pose, one foot up on rubble, finger pointing to the sky.
"Ready to taste my evil, Kimmie?" Shego hissed and Kim's attention was redirected to the villainess. Her hair was whipping back and forth in a ominous wind that swirled around her. Her minions had fallen back, clearly knowing that this was going to become a disaster zone and soon. Kim didn't have anymore time to stall for shame of doing the stupid dance. She mimicked the short dance routine which included her wiggling her butt, and then shouted at the top of her lungs, "Purity wins!" A warmth spread over her body and when she looked herself over, she was no longer wearing her school uniform but something pink and frilly, with way too many ribbons.
"What is this?!" Kim exclaimed in horror and Shego let out a cackle. "Guess you really do look like a princess now, Princess."
Kim glared at the sneer in Shego's voice. "What are you going to do to me in that dress? Make me laugh until I lose consciousness, cuz let me tell you, you wouldn't have to try hard."
"It doesn't matter what I'm wearing, I'm still going to protect this school from you." Kim lifted up her hand, the one that had a scepter in it with a little heart on it. Out of it a bolt of hot pink energy came out of. Shego tilted her head to the side to avoid that. Her eyes darkened. "I'd like to see you try."
When the mysterious trench-coat man made his way to the school, he let a small discontented sigh leave his lips. So much damage had been done. How could Kim let this happen? Had she not been staying vigilant like he told her to? Perhaps her heart had softened. She always did have a thing for believing in the best of people and giving them second chances when they didn't deserve them. It looked like it would be up to him to fix things again; to pull them from the brink of apocalypse. Just like the last time when Shego summoned demons on the school. Or when she sent the school into space. Or when she attempted to brainwash all the students. Honestly, you would think she would get tired of trying as each idea got more and more ridiculous. She was running out of good ideas.
Silently, he made his way on the rooftops to where Shego's vice in command was. The boy had his back turned to trench-coat guy, sending out commands to his comrades. Left him open for trench coat guy to sneak up. Shego needed to train her men better. It was pitiful how easy it was to sneak up on them.
He cracked his knuckles so that the vice could hear him and when the boy turned around his face went ashen. All the others around him took to their heels and booked it, not wanting to lose their lives today.
"S-shady Shin," he gasped out, falling onto his butt in his hurry to move back.
"What did I tell you about messing with the school?"
"N-not to do it?"
"Your hearing and memory work, so it leaves me wondering, why the heck you haven't taken my advice to heart." Shady Shin lifted up the vice commander by the front of his shirt, his sun glasses slipping down a little to reveal blue piercing eyes. Eyes that could intimidate anyone with a single glare. Send them running for a change of pants. "Do I need to beat it into you for you to understand?"
"No! No, Shady Shin, please, don't!"
But the man's free hand had already curled up into a fist.
Kim was so involved in the battle that she almost lost all sense of time and space. All she knew was that suddenly she was filled with an intense urge to protect everyone, to stop Shego her mortal enemy for once and for all. She wouldn't let her ruin this school anymore. No matter how many chances she had given Shego, the woman only betrayed each and every one. And she had taken Eric from her! Her one true love! Fire filled Kim's soul.
They had broken through the confines of the walls of the school and were in mid air, duking it out viciously. Fists and feet and snarls were blurred. And Aito was down below them, still cheering Kim on and shouting out the names of moves that the red head picked up on and completed. Her new form was becoming second nature to her. Her muscles seemed to remember the poses, and flew smoothly into action against Shego. Waves of pink and green energy mixed together and it sounded like thunder when they collided.
"Midori no Ikari!" Shego howled out and the green plasma around her fist blasted off, aimed straight at Kim's head.
"Shining hearts!" Kim drew out her scepter and held it out in front of her. A giant heart appeared in front of her and blocked Shego's hit before it evaporated.
"Hebi no Kiba!" Two sickle shaped blasts of power exited Shego's hand and she flung them scarily fast at Kim who dodged them. They hit the ground below her, indenting crescent marks, disrupting Aito who fell but was soon up on her feet again, cheering even more loudly for Kim.
"Love's bliss!" Kim swung out her weapon and a wide flat blast of pink energy came out. Shego dodged it as well, drawing herself closer to Kim in the process.
As the two of them fought, the rest of the chaos in the school subsided as Shady Shin went around doing his job. Slipping in and out of shadows like he was one himself, he captured all of the Gurīnsunēku's goons. Then he helped those who were injured to the nurse, leaving the rest in the pathetic teacher's hands. The sound of explosions and the scent of gun power filled the air and he knew it was time to break up the fight, or risk the school falling to bits completely. When the two of them went at it, they would be hard pressed to stop, refusing to surrender even when gravely injured. Shady Shin had told Kim this wasn't healthy, but the girl was as stubborn as she was good and she found it her duty to stop Shego who she viewed as her mortal enemy, at all costs.
It hadn't always been like that. But when Shego had destroyed Eric, Kim's love, things had taken a darker turn and Kim's intentions of befriending Shego and thereby defanging the snake this way, had disappeared into thin air. Now it was only violence. He had thought she had given up the anger in her heart, given Shego another shot, been the bigger person. But he could see it now. She had so much vengeance burning in her veins. Kim had to be stopped before she reached the precipice and fell into the dark with Shego.
A projectile zoomed right into Shego's side just as the green haired woman had knocked Kim down thirty feet into the ground, one hand on her throat, intent to squeeze the life out of it. Kim sat up, rubbing her neck and Aito was instantly by her side. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. But who was that?" Whatever it was, had moved with almost mach 5 speeds.
A steaming hole remained as a clue where the two had disappeared into. A moment later Shego's body was flung out of the hole and she flopped to the ground gracelessly, blood streaming from her nose, and ribs broken. She clutched them as she tried to crawl away. Something like fear was etched upon her face. Following her was a man Kim only knew too well, without knowing him at all. He had helped her more times than she could count. She considered him like a master and only hoped one day she could be as powerful as him.
His trench coat flapped in the breeze and he adjusted his sunglasses casually. Rufusu, his pet cat, was curled pleasantly around his neck. He planted one cog covered foot onto Shego's back, stopping her struggled crawl. "Kim. What did I tell you about losing your temper?"
"Not to do that..." she mumbled, reprimanded.
"And what did you do?"
"I lost it." She admitted shamefully.
"I'm glad I could catch you all at the tail end of the fight. Really didn't want to break a nail stopping you." A new voice intruded and they all turned to look to see who it was. It was Drakken-sensei, wearing a lab coat and a weird metal band around his head and striding towards them confidently.
Something in Kim's brain tickled at her. She'd been looking for this man before. But why...? Suddenly she couldn't really recall anything beside her need to put Shego in her place once and for all.
"What do you want, doc?" Shego sneered from her spot on the floor. "Come to serve us detention?"
"No. It's nothing like that. I need you to follow me into my lab. It's very important."
Shady Shin, Kim and Shego all looked at each other before shrugging. Shin lifted his foot off of Shego and padded over to Kim's side. How a man with such noisy shoes could move so silently was something she admired.
"What about me?" Aito pointed to herself.
"I don't need you," Drakken waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright. Aito-chan will see you later Kim-chan!" And with that the brunette bounced off.
With a groan, Shego got up to her feet. "I'm not going anywhere with you. I don't listen to teachers and I won't be starting with you today."
"I had a feeling you might say that." Drakken smoothly pulled out a gun from his lab coat and pointed it at Shego. She was covered in a translucent goop.
"Nanda kore!" She cried out angrily and tried to free herself by using her plasma powers but woefully they were tampered.
"That goo is heat resistant. You can stand there all day and try that, but you won't be going anywhere. Ron, if you could bring her." Drakken tipped his head at the boy.
Shady Shin nodded his head and heaved the block that was Shego over his shoulder.
"Put me down you annoying boy!"
So Shady Shin's real name was Ron. Kim never would have guessed that. Then, the three of them followed Drakken down into his dark laboratory, the only thing left wholly intact after the fight.
The heavy metal door closed behind them and they were in the dark with their mad scientist teacher. Down the stairs they went until they arrived at a brightly lit laboratory, squinting their eyes until they adjusted to the light.
A myriad of weird contraptions and bubbling liquids in jars and sparks flying from those weird rods erected in the middle of the room, filled the space along with various pikes of junk lined up against the walls.
"Gonna torture us down here?" Shego snidely questioned. Drakken ignored her, instead pulling out a little remote and pointing it right at her forehead. Her mouth froze and she was quiet before life flooded back in her features and she was speaking once more. "What is going on here? Drakken, why am I tied up?" She squirmed in her hold before Ron roughly dropped her. The goo trap must have been a temporary thing because it melted off of Shego with gross sounds and she was standing up, flinging excess pieces off.
"You've been taken in by the plot line of this world."
"Plot line?" Shego and Kim both asked.
"Yes." And then he pointed the remote at Kim and Ron. The two of them felt the sensation of a brain freeze over their whole head. It was painful and they were unable to even move or scream. Gradually it faded away until only a faint throbbing could be felt in the head.
"Uh, why am I wearing cogs? And why is Rufus a cat?" Ron exclaimed as he came out of his freeze. Rufus hissed angrily.
"What I mean by plot line is that the three of you have special roles in this world. And the longer you stayed in it, the longer you forgot your true selves and began to act out those character parts."
"How come you weren't affected?" Kim couldn't help from asking, slowly overcoming the disappointment that she had bent so easily to the role of this world. She had thought she wasn't, that she was merely protecting the school.
Drakken let out an evil laugh at this. "My genius mind cannot be corrupted!"
They all collectively rolled their eyes, even Rufus.
"So, can you bust us out of here and back into our world?" Shego asked.
"I can. I have managed to repair the A.N.I.M.E while the three of you were out destroying property recklessly. The only issue with it is that it's not meant to teleport people or objects back into our world; it was built to throw people into other realities. Therefore, I had to make some adjustments. But whether they will work stands to be seen."
"And if they don't work? What happens? Are we stuck here forever?" Ron waved his hands around.
"No, we'll all be torn apart by the space time place continuum and be left forever circling portals like water down the drain," Drakken casually answered.
Ron paled and Rufus began hissing and screeching, the hair on his back rising as he spat at Drakken.
"That's...a huge risk."
"And given his penchant for his inventions never working, I say it's a risk we don't take," Shego added.
"But what other options do we have?"
"None, Kim Possible! There are no other methods of teleporting and to build a new device would take me months and resources a small school like this doesn't have." Drakken looked proud, as if he was happy to give them bad news.
"We could leave, find you some better quality materials," Kim offered.
"You can't leave the premises of this world. It revolves around the high school and stepping over the property line is impossible unless the story dictates it."
"Just wonderful." Shego muttered sarcastically.
"Given there are no other options, who wants to go first?" Drakken pointed at the rice cooker shaped device on the table before them. A flick of a switch had it powered on. It shone blue. No one made a move to step forwards, all too nervous. So Kim did. "I'll meet you all on the other side." She put on a brave face.
Ron watched her disappear and because he didn't want to leave Kim alone for a long time, he followed after. "Man, I'm gonna kind of miss being the cool guy."
Shego was third, frowning and glaring at Drakken the whole time her disapproval of his plan, before the man entered as well, the portal device disappearing with him.
This time traveling was different. They kept their bodies as they sped down this blue tube of noise and static. At the end there was bright light and when Kim fell through it, she landed with a loud oomph onto the grass below. Ron face planted somewhere off to the right, butt sticking up comically in the air. Shego was next and she fell with a heavy thud on top of Kim, who still stunned by her own fall, hadn't moved in time. Drakken let out an ungainly scream as he was dumped into a pond.
"Shego, get off," Kim grunted. Portal travel like this made one's body weary for some reason. Shego stirred and pushed herself up on her elbows, her actions freezing when she saw where Kim's hand was. Latched firmly onto her left breast.
"Kim..." she growled low, threateningly.
Kim's eyes widened in shock. What the heck? How did her hand get there? She had a split second to marvel at how warm and soft Shego's chest felt through her white shirt before she quickly jerked her hand off, like it was on fire. But it wasn't fast enough for Shego, because the woman slapped her. "Don't touch me there, pervert!" she hissed before fully getting up.
Pervert?
What?
Kim lay there stunned with her still stinging cheek and knew wherever they had landed, they were already off to a bad start.
