Part XLII…
"Wade?...What's the word on Team Go's recon?" Potential called to where Ron held the Kimmunicator on his side as their car roared up the interstate.
I'd demand a chopper, but hey I'm probably faster on the road at that…
"They seem to have gotten in, Kim." Wade replied…Ron holding Kimmunicator to face her, volume maxed out.
"Kim? There's a report of a stolen car on the police radio that matches…" Wade began.
"Yeah, had to make an emergency requisition…Deal with the cops for me, would ya, Wadey? Thanks. So what's the stich inside?"
Ron blinking…Uh…
Stolen…?
"The place is on fire, at least partly…" Wade, anxiously… "Team Go's found Bortel and several personnel tied up and are removing them to safe…Uh, oh…"
"Shego or the Throwback?" Kim asked, repressed amused tone…
"Shego…I've got video feed now…"
"Shego?!" Hego's voice…Somewhat jumpy image of lab…Several Wegos, Mego standing by Bortel and Avair, both now standing.
"Hello…Brother…" stare. "You mustn't interfere here. Surrender our prisoner Dr. Bortel and his assistant or…" she waved arms.
"Shego? What are you doing?! Did you have anything to do with releasing the Throwback?!"
"I have my orders…" she replied, firing as Hego and the Wegos dodged…Bortel and Avair hitting the floor…Avair eyeing burned hole in lab wall.
"Ms. Shego?" the droid Bortel, still holding form, entered the lab…The Go boys looking to see…
Hmmn…
"Oh, my…" the real Bortel… "What ist the fiend Drakken not capable of?"
"Get them…" Shego ordered, a bit blankly…
"Mego! Get the civilians to safety!" Hego cried, helping Bortel and Avair up and pushing them gently Mego's way…
Civilians? Well, so far so good…Avair noted. Hurrying along with Bortel…As several of the Wegos took position with Hego confronting Shego and the Bortel droid.
Whoa…Ron peered to see screen…
"A phony Bortel? Maybe he was doing Dementor, to fool us?"
"He'd like us to think that…" Potential, nodding…
Another couple of plasma bursts at the Go boys…
"You still need glasses, sis!" Mego snorting, dodging…Ow!
Bortel moving to help him…Slight burn to side…
"Shego!" Hego frowned. "What would Mom say?"
"Hey!" she glared, outraged…Pulling up suddenly… "After the way you jerks acted…Don't you ever…!"
Oops…Supposed to be cheerily blank, emotionally dead compliance bot Shego…
Still, random emotion trigger, understandable…
"Surrender Dr. Bortel…I have my orders…" she repeated, flat tone now…
And if I'd wanted to really burn off a limb or make a hole in middle brother…
Droid Bortel leaping at a Wego…Two Wegos slamming him back…
"Shego? I don't want to hurt you…" Hego eyed her, carefully taking position behind a bench… "But if you and Drakken are behind the Throwback's escape, you've gone beyond the pale."
"I have my orders…" she repeated, firing at him…He ducking down behind bench, rolling to side as gaping hole appeared in bench, hurling a metal tray at her which she vaporized…
Nice to be a protected spectator for once…Avair reflected, watching as he and Bortel helped Mego to the stairs…A Wego coming to assist…
The droid Bortel struggling with three Wegos now…
Shego a bit preoccupied, watching the droid and Hego, missed two Wegos slipping in round her…Whoops…
"Shego?" Drakken's anxious voice in her head… "What's going on? I've no visual. Pull out if it's getting too dangerous."
Yeah, I'll keep that in mind…She thought, dodging the grab…Rolling and coming up on the other side of the lab to fire off several bursts, dispursing the Wegos.
Glug…A Wego had damaged the synthodroid, causing its gel to ooze out…It collapsed.
So much for my partner…Shego thought.
Well, the good bad doctor did say to avoid capture…She jumped, fired, and fled out the lab main door and down the corridor.
Bortel with Avair , Mego, and two Wegos, looking with a surface worried but quite self-satisfied air from the stair well door.
All ist going so vell…So far…
"After her, boys…And watch out for the Throwback and more droids!" Hego cried, hurrying after Shego into the corridor, closely followed by most of the Wegos.
"Drew? I can only talk a sec…Any word on Kimmy?" Shego, racing down hallway to an opposing stairwell…
Hmmn…My droid partner did an effective job of destruction…She eyed the burning lab next to the stairwell door.
And if there's anything really dangerous in there…
"She's on her way…Shego? I want you to get out of there, now!" Drakken urged.
"Just let me make sure…" she hissed…Entering stairwell, slamming door and frying lock…
Pounding on other side…The boys, no doubt…And Hego should be crashing through in a moment. Unless he's gone all soft working at that burrito joint.
"…The Throwback's not still here…" she finished as the door was torn open…She hurrying down the stairs.
"Shego?! The Bortel complex is on fire…Reports on the net say it's overwhelming the fire control system, the surrounding area is being evacuated!" Drakken, panicky now… "You've got to get out!"
Hmmn…Maybe droid-boy and I solved the problem with our overenthusiasm for the mission?
Glance round…
And it is getting a bit smoky in here…
"Shego?!" Hego's voice, anxious in turn now… "Come back up! It's too dangerous down there! There's nowhere else to go!"
Yeah, maybe so…Ok, down is out…She blasted at the stairwell wall…Stepping out carefully on a ledge running round the lab building.
But there's always somewhere else to go, big bro…
"Shego!" chorus…One outside, one inside, her head.
Well, whatdaya know? Slight grin…Drew and Hego sound exactly alike when they're really concerned for me…She leapt up, firing a grappling hook which caught on the roof railing…Climbing up…
"Hey…Archfoe…" Potential smiled at her as she pulled herself over the railing…
Nope, Ron's still makin' his way up…She glanced back…
Yep, all by our lonesome…
Ok…How to play this? Shego thought…Not a good idea to risk a family reunion just now. Up here Bortel or his new boyfriend might have surveillance going.
"I have my orders …" she said, blankly, raising arms…
And I have my emotional mindset to Evil…Potential eyed her…And the railing…
And I'd sure never have a better setup for heroic Kim Possible to tragically take out her fiendish nemesis…
Though…She looked for any drones…
Wouldn't want Daddy to see this…
"Surrender, Shego…You and the Throwback…We have Dementor…" she noted.
Ok, proper speech made for anyone watchin'…
"I can't surrender…I have my…"
"Good enough!..." Potential, charging and slamming her back…Toward the roof edge…
Just trying to make it look good, Dad…I didn't realize we were so high up, I'm really sorry, Shego really seemed under Dementor's control and…Instinct just…Kicked…In…she rehearsed. Kicking at Shego, who fell back.
But you should be proud…EStM did a really fine farewell performance with the compliance chip thing…Anyway…
Shego, at edge…Eyeing her. Wan smile…Bracing…Eyeing briefly the drop of nearly five hundred feet behind her.
I love you both so much, sweetheart…She tensed, staring at the red-haired ball of fury before her…
Ok…Just contain the last charge and then let reaction do its work…
Drew may suspect, but I'm sure our little actress can convince him I met with a tragic accident…
My…Quite the determined little thing… Lindendon, in seat of high speed train far below the Bortel Lab complex, noted to one of the staff guiding him as they watched Potential charging on screen. "I'm a bit favorably impressed with the child…I've of thought surely she'd be the type to foolishly try to take a foe alive."
