Chapter 5

Day soon turned to night and soon that girl, Jackie, who was supposedly a paranormal investigator, would arrive. Drakken had fallen asleep on the couch, while Shego flipped through the television channels muttering to herself in disgust at the choices she had. All was quiet at the lair, it was like the eye of the storm. She stared at the clock noticing that the closer 7:00 came, the more the atmosphere became heavy. Shego felt as though the spirit sensed that someone was coming to get rid of them and wasn't at all pleased about it.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang making Shego jump. Drakken however, stirred but remained asleep unaffected by the loud ringing noise from the doorbell that echoed throughout the lair. "I'll get it then." Shego announced basically to herself as she got up and started towards the door. Shego swung open the door and standing there was Jackie with a huge black suitcase held tightly in her hand.

"Hello!" She said as Shego stepped aside to let her in.

"Hi. What's that for?" She asked pointing to the suitcase.

"Oh, this is just some equipment I use." Jackie told her. Shego nodded her head, understanding. "Where's your husband?" Shego blushed and rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. "Uh…he's not my husband." She corrected.

"Oh sorry. I just assumed." Jackie apologized as she followed Shego into the lounge.

"Drew, Jackie is here." Shego said shaking him awake. He jumped up looking disoriented. "Sorry!" He said with a stretch. "I needed that nap. Thanks for coming." Drakken said shaking her free hand.

"No problem. Always happy to help. So what kind of activity has been going on here?" Jackie asked looking around. "Well we saw an apparition in this room a couple nights ago." Drakken told her.

"And there's this mysterious doll that keeps on popping up in odd places." Shego added. "Hmmm… do you know where this doll is now?" She asked. Drakken and Shego both shrugged simultaneously.

"That's too bad. It could have had some significance." Jackie said.

"Anything else?" Drakken fidgeted with a pen that lay discarded on his desk. He wasn't sure if he wanted to tell her that he had become possessed. Realizing what he was thinking of, Shego took his hand and hers, and smiled. Drakken looked up at Jackie.

"I became possessed." He told her in barely more than a whisper.

"Aahh. Now that's a big problem." She said.

"Obviously!" Shego snapped wanting to get this investigation done and over with.

"So, where can I set up base?" She asked.

"Uh..right this way." Drakken said escorting her to the library.

"This is perfect! I'll be done in a few. Just do what you normally do. I'll be with you in a second. I just need to set up a few cameras and stuff."

"Anything I can help with? I'm pretty technology savvy." He offered rubbing his hands together.

"No thanks. I can handle it." Jackie said with a flourishing wave of her hand practically excusing them from their own space. "Ok, then." He said taking Shego by the hand and leaving the room. She took out a computer monitor and began setting up wires and cameras.

About a couple hours later, she stood at the base staring at the computer monitor admiring her work. She had set up a camera in each of the bedrooms, the lounge, and the kitchen. Just as Jackie was about to leave to tell Drakken and Shego that everything was all set, all the cameras went out. All across the screen was a picture of static and white noise. "What the?" She said out loud to herself looking confused. This had never happened on an investigation before. She turned around and was about to personally go check on each camera herself, she was knocked to the ground, hitting her head on the desk as she went. She lay there unconscious, not knowing of the events about to unfold.

Drakken paced back and forth waiting for Jackie to come out of the library, he eagerly wanted to be rid of this ghost problem and he was curious as to how it would be done. Would they use some kind of demolition device to blow it into oblivion? He wondered. Shego sighed, becoming increasingly impatient and suspicious of Jackie. What was taking her so long?

All of a sudden, there was a loud crashing noise coming from the gym making Drakken and Shego jump. They looked at each other, both thinking the same thought…it was the ghost. Shego took off towards the gym with Drakken reluctantly following close behind. She pushed open the door and noticed that all the punching bags were swinging back and forth like someone was hitting them, someone that wasn't there. Before they could leave the room to go get Jackie, one of the punching bags swung at them knocking them to the ground. Drakken shook his head which was now throbbing from the blow. When he looked over to check on Shego, he saw that she was knocked unconscious. "Shego!" He gasped kneeling over her. "Wake up." He said nearly panicking. When she didn't stir he got up and went to go get Jackie. She would know what to do.

When he pushed open the library doors, he saw lying sprawled out on the floor an unconscious Jackie. He was the only one awake in the house. How was he supposed to fight a ghost alone?

He looked over at the monitors to find that they had all turned themselves back on again. He watched as a shadow figure appeared across the screen and it was going towards the gym.

Drakken's mind raced as he tried to think up a plan to be rid of this spirit once and for all before something bad happened and it had to be quick. On the desk was an open book that Jackie had taken with her about the paranormal. He picked it up and began to quickly read through the pages. In a paragraph he read, "Ghosts are sensitive to electrical energy. There is a better chance they will appear if there are high EMF fields or during a thunderstorm." Reading this an idea came into his mind, but he couldn't do it alone though. He ran into the kitchen and picked up the phone. "C'mon, pick up!" He mumbled into the phone becoming impatient. He didn't know how much time he had left till the ghost got to Shego.

"Hello?" Kim said on the other line.

"Kim! It's Drakken. I need your help now." He exclaimed rather loudly into the phone relieved that she had picked up. "What, why?" She asked surprised at what she was hearing. "Don't ask questions! This isn't a trap or anything. I really need your help." He said, hanging up.

When he returned to the gym he found that she wasn't where he had left her. "Shego!" He called out, hoping that she would answer and would be alright. He ran out into the lounge and found her standing there with a look across her face and in her eyes that didn't belong to her. "Shego?" He began to shake nervously, fearing what would happen.

But before they had a chance to find out there was a loud bang and almost within seconds, Kim Possible and her side-kick stood there waiting for a fight. "Drakken?" Kim's voice called out. Drakken was too stunned to be surprised at how fast she had arrived, he didn't even care. All he cared about right now was Shego. Kim and Ron ran into the room.

Kim pointed to Shego, before Drakken even had a chance to explain what was going on.

"What's wrong with her?" She asked.

"She's possessed."

"That would explain why she's so mean all the time!" Ron remarked.

"No! She's really possessed! This place is haunted you dolts!" Drakken yelled, getting annoyed. "Haunted?!" Ron squeaked.

"Yes."

"Ok, let's go Kim. I'm not sticking around to see any ghosts!" He said tugging on Kim's arm. "How long has this been going on for?" Kim asked curiously.

"It's been going on ever since we moved in." He replied.

"You said you needed help, but with what?"

"Follow me." He said running into his lab, Kim and Ron following behind.

"Help me move this." He said pointing to a huge laser, which Kim thought looked familiar. "Haven't we seen this before?" She asked.

"Yes, I used it the time we traveled through television." Kim was confused; she couldn't see how this would work.

"How's this going to help?" Ron asked.

"You'll see." They pushed the laser into the other room and plugged it in. You could hear it powering up.

"Wouldn't this harm Shego?" Kim question further, becoming concerned. Shego was her enemy, but she didn't want anything bad to happen to her.

"In the condition she's in right now, I don't think so." He answered aiming it at his girl, hoping for the best.

"Kim, get Shego when I tell you to. Ok?" Drakken ordered, looking increasingly nervous. She nodded.

He pulled down a lever and a huge bolt of electricity hit Shego, knocking her backwards into the wall. Something was definitely working. The bolt of electricity began to spin rapidly around in a circle. They all stared in awe, wondering what was going on before their eyes. Nobody had seen anything quite like this before. A shadow began to rise out of Shego's body and go towards the electricity. Drakken gulped realizing that was the same spirit they had seen before, this time looking to be in a more malicious and twisted form. Was he powering up this spirit to come back with an even worse attack? "Get her now!" He hollered. Kim jumped over the laser, dodging the ray of electricity, and picked up Shego, pulling her back to safety as she went.

Suddenly, all around him over the electricity he could hear screams…terrible screams, but where were they coming from? "Look!" Kim exclaimed pointing to the swirling circle of electricity. From inside the circle you could see faces, many faces. Everything was going according to plan; he was sending the ghost through a portal to where it belonged.

Out of what seemed like nowhere, the doll appeared next to Drakken's foot. He picked it up and threw it into the portal. "And take your doll with you!" He yelled watching it disappear.

Finally, the spirit disappeared into the circle. Drakken shut off the laser and took a deep breath, somewhat relieved that, that was over with. He ran to Shego side and placed her limp body across his lap. "Shego?" He checked her pulse. She was still alive. "Wake up." Slowly, her eyes began to open. "What happened?" She asked sitting up, feeling weak. "Good, she isn't fried." Ron said wiping sweat from his brow.

"Fried? What?" Shego questioned looking to Drakken for answers.

"Never mind Shego. Everything is over…finally." He pulled her into a long kiss, which was interrupted by Jackie entering the room.

"That was the most awesome case I have ever been on!" She exclaimed clapping her hands happily. Shego stared blankly at her.

"But you didn't even do anything." She pointed out.

"I know, but now I have the evidence I need to get more followers. Thank you."

"Whatever." Shego said turning back to Drakken, this time pulling him into a kiss. Ron looked away. "How many times do we have to see them kiss in one day?"

Drakken looked up at him and smirked, "Oh you'll be seeing it a lot more…"
