A few minutes later, Kim & Ron followed Ember outside. When she left the arena, they made their way towards the car.
"Um, didn't we park right here?" Ron asked, "cause all I see is a yellow car."
"That's odd" Kim replied "how would another car have gotten in our…?"
She didn't have time to further ponder the answer to that question, however, as the Sloth was headed straight for her!
Thinking fast, she jumped to avoid it and landed on the hood of a nearby vehicle.
The Sloth reversed gears and headed towards her, but this time, she flipped unto the roof and hung on with all her might.
"I don't know what's going on" she said "but nobody steals my car."
Seeing that the mystery thief was trying to shake her off, Kim clung tighter to the sides of the roof. Once she was sure the time was right, she loosened one of her hands and slid into the open window.
"Not a smart carjacker if you left the window open" she said smugly.
Then she noticed the man in the driver's seat. He was wearing a yellow and black costume and had a robot arm, which was at that moment plugged into the dashboard of the Sloth.
"Okay, definitely weird" Kim said.
Gearhead finally took notice of her and tried to shove her out the passenger's door.
"Sorry Possible, but this is where you get off!" he said.
Kim struggled to keep herself from hitting the ground, but it would only be a matter of time. I've only got one shot at this she thought so it needs to be just right.
Grabbing the top of the doorway with both hands, she swung back, then came forward with all her might.
Both feet slammed right into Gearhead, knocking him into the driver's side door and releasing his control.
"I'll drive, if you don't mind" Kim said, slipping over into the driver's seat.
"Actually, I do" Gearhead replied, and stuck his arm back into the door, hoping to regain control.
Realizing what he had planned, Kim swerved sharply, causing the villain to lose his grip and roll several feet away.
"Wait up KP!" Ron shouted, out of breath from following her. Once he got in, Kim left before Gearhead could get to his senses.
"What the heck happened back there?" Ron asked "It was like the car was possessed or something."
"It was, technically" Kim replied "some guy with a robot arm was controlling it. I've never seen him before, but he knew who I was."
"Weird" Ron said "I hope he's not a killer cyborg like in Killer Cyborgs or Killer Cyborgs 2: The Killing."
"Somehow, I doubt it" Kim said "we'd better call Wade, he might have some info on this guy."
Meanwhile, back at his headquarters in a nearby scrap yard, Motor Ed was chewing out his teammate over his failure.
"Dude, I give you one simple assignment, take over Red's car, and you can't even do that!"
"I did what you said, but that girl has proven to be more resourceful than I suspected" Gearhead said "beating her won't be easy."
"Yeah, Red's one tough chick, seriously" Ed said "but I think we can make taking her out easy if we can disable her computer guy. That's where you come in CF, it'll take one fat nerd to beat another."
"I told you to lay off the fat nerd comments" CF said.
"Whatever man" Ed said "right now I need ya to disable Red's connection to that genius kid of hers, seriously."
"I suppose I could create some kind of firewall that would prevent his transmissions from getting through" he suggested.
"Do that" Ed said "and once that's done, we can put the finishing touches on my master plan, seriously."
"I've searched everywhere Kim, and I haven't found anything on this guy" Wade replied from the Kimmunicator's screen.
"But that can't be" Kim said "did you check the Global Justice files?"
"Yup, nothing" Wade responded "it's like he just appeared out of thin air or something."
"First this Ember, girl, and now a mysterious cyborg" Kim mused "what's the connection?"
"They're both weird?" Ron offered.
"No, there must be something else" Kim said "maybe if we find Britina, we'll find the answers. Any luck on that Wade?"
"Actually, yes" Wade replied "think about it, wouldn't it be easier to hide something in the one place you'd least expect someone to look for it?"
"The arena, of course!" Kim exclaimed "we'd never think to look there again."
"And the criminal does always return to the scene of the crime, or so they say" Ron added "although that would be stupid, why would they want to?"
"You continue to rock Wade" Kim replied.
"I know" Wade said "just be careful, there's no…"
His message was cut off and replaced by a wave of static.
"Wade? Wade are you there?" Kim asked, shaking the Kimmunicator furiously.
"Maybe you forgot to recharge the battery" Ron suggested.
"Doubt it" Kim said "looks like we're doing this without Wade."
"How hard could that be?" Ron asked.
Within a number of minutes, Kim and Ron made their way back to the arena. The place was closed for the night, but that didn't deter Kim.
"I don't feel right about this Kim, isn't this considered 'breaking and entering?'" Ron asked.
"I don't like it either, but a greater crime has been committed here" Kim explained "so we'll have to deal."
Using her laser lipstick, she burned through the lock and they entered the building.
"Let's head to the basement" Kim suggested "that seems like the mostly reasonable place to stash someone you're not planning on having people find."
"Got'cha KP" Ron said "lemme just get my flashlight out." But Kim ignored him and simply produced one from the pocket of her pants.
"Or we could use yours" he said, as the two of them descended the stairs.
The basement appeared normal, save for the pieces of background sets that were stored throughout.
"Keep an eye out for anything unusual" Kim ordered.
"That covers a lot of ground" Ron replied.
Kim ignored him and shone her flashlight around, noticing the door to a storage room.
"Storage huh?" she said, as if she was suspicious "I wonder what they store in there?"
"Maybe spare costumes, amps, that kind of stuff" Ron suggested.
"Maybe" Kim said "but maybe we oughta take a look."
Using her laser lipstick, she burned a hole through the door and kicked it open. Once inside, she and Ron heard an erratic mumbling sound.
"Aaah mummy!" Ron shouted, diving behind Kim.
"I don't think it's a mummy" Kim said "what would one even be doing in Los Angeles anyway?"
"Maybe this stadium is built on old Egyptian burial grounds" Ron suggested.
"Cursed" Rufus added.
Kim shrugged them off and focused her flashlight on the source of the noises. They belonged to the very person Kim had been searching for.
"Britina!"
The blonde pop star was tied tightly to a chair, with a large cloth tied around her mouth. Kim quickly rushed over to her and removed the gag.
"Thank goodness you're here" Britina said "I thought nobody would find me!"
"Who did this to you?" Kim asked.
"Some fat delivery boy" Britina explained "he knocked me out with gas while I was getting ready."
"Let me guess, Ember hired him so she could take your spot in the show?" Kim asked.
"Actually, no" Britina said "for some reason, I was kidnapped as bait for you."
"For me?" Kim asked "but why?"
"Good question princess" came a familiar voice "why don't I help you find out."
Kim turned and saw Ember standing in the doorway, a wicked grin on her face.
"If you wanted to talk to me, you could've just sent an e-mail" Kim said.
"This seemed more effective" Ember replied "plus I'd been hoping to get rid of that little tone deaf brat for a while anyway."
"Tone deaf?!" Britina shouted angrily.
"It's over Ember" Kim said, "looks like your new single will be written in prison."
"You don't know what you're up against, do you?" Ember said "well I'll be glad to show you."
She reached for her guitar, but Kim flipped up and launched a diving kick…which had no effect.
"Huh?" Kim said, suddenly realizing she was behind the girl.
"Looks like your aim is a little off" Ember said "luckily, mine isn't!"
A blast from the guitar slammed Kim into the wall. The last thing she remembered before she fell unconscious was seeing Ron rush to her aid, only to be taken out as well.
Next time, Motor Ed puts the last phase of his plan into action, and it's going to put the squeeze on our heroes, so to speak.
