Kim and Ron were relaxing on Nakasumi's jet…
Kim vegged in the luxy surroundings while Ron dug through her Kimmunicator's emails…
"Ron… we need to talk about the mission thingie that I'm…" Kim was subjected to The Serious Stony Face… "Ok. OK! I just need to know you've got my back…if it gets loopy. I Need Frosty Ron."
The Face disappeared. "Don't worry. I've got your back. Hey KP, take a look." Ron said as he passed over the Kimmunicator.
"What's going on?" she asked as she took it. Kim read Shego's email. "Wow."
"Yeah." Ron said as he leaned back in the seat. "Hego's back… and then some…" he looked at Kim's haunted face. "So… uh… what are ya gonna do when you see him?"
She looked into his eyes. "i… don't…" 'I did harsh on him earlier… Sheila said he's paid for his crimes… I'll wait and see.'
"Mr. Stoppable, Nakasumi-san will see you now." An aide said as he bowed to Ron.
"Oh! Uh can KP c…"
"I'm sorry Sir. Ms. Possible must wait." The aide looked at Kim. "It will only be a moment."
"Sorry Kim." He blushed as she reached over and squeezed his hand.
"It's ok. Besides Rufus can keep me company." She smiled.
Ron went aft.
"So Rufus, what do ya want to…Rufus? AW Man!" he'd vanished.

At that same time…
Drakken's Temp Lair
In the Southwest
"Start the test." Drakken hissed to a lackey from his command chair. "Level 1."
The lackey shuddered. "Yes Sir."
A button was pushed…
A pathogen… one the world had never seen before, was activated in selected 'test subjects'…
---
Worldwide…
Several SHIELD and military operatives assaulted depots, labs, etc, and died when the mission's were complete.
Needless to say the World's militaries were in an uproar…

And…
Condor 1 SHIELD Helicarrier
In hover mode over
Middleton, CO
The Brig. MaxSec.
An interesting drama was unfolding before Hirotaka's unit as they stood within the gleaming, ultramodern prison…
They had been standing guard over Spymaster for months as their commander earned the prisoner's respect.
Now they were witnessing further results from 'Taka's efforts…
"My friend… there is no true profit in the lifestyle you've chosen. You have wealth, true, but you're unable to use it because you're here…" 'Taka said to his ash blond, strong-jawed charge.
"Yeah. But when I was free…" he said. "Hmmm."
"When you were free… your master owned you and your fruits. It is time to consider another path." He said.
The lights turned red.
"'Taka!" Al said over their links. Gunfire and shouts were heard. "The Carrier's under attack. Bogies headed your way. Some of our guys've turned… I silenced the alarm in your area so they just think it's in damage mode."
"How many?" 'Taka asked as he slipped a knife to Spymaster.
"5. They've got plasma cannons for starters. Gotta go, The Director needs my help. Good Luck." Al clicked off the link.
'And You My Friend…' 'Taka looked at Spymaster. "Here." He gave him a mini-blaster. "If you use this on my men…"
His men tensed.
"I know. Wouldn't dream of it. How many're comin' for me?" he growled.
"5. It will be an honor to fight beside you Spymaster." 'Taka said with a bow as he signaled his men to make ready.
"You Too. The name's Abbott. Sinclair Abbott." He told his friend.
"You may call me 'Taka." He said.
"'Taka… when this is over… I wanna work on your side…" Abbott said.
"I will talk to the Director." He answered.
"BLAMMM!"
The cell door blew open.
They turned to meet their foe…

Project Pegasus
Prison Complex
Cell 001's entrance
0700 hrs
"Hurry up and get in the cell. You'll be safe there." Pulsar said to her brother as she and several Guardsmen tried to get him safely locked away in Juggernaut's old cell.
"no! Let me help Sis!" Hego cried as she tried to shove him in.
"Shut it and GET IN!" she shouted before…
"BOOOOM!" the door was blown in by a blaster wielding Typhoid Mary and Mentallo.
Hego shoved past his sister and the Guardsmen and tackled them as they fired…
"HA! One less fool to worry about." The crimson hued, dreadlocked Mary said as she pushed Hego's inert body off them and drew a bead on Pulsar's team.
A slight glow surrounded Mentallo's helm…
None of them could move except Pulsar! All of the Guardsmen turned towards her and prepared to fire.
"Man! I don't know how or why, but I'm glad those SHIELD guys went renegade. The names' Mentallo." Said the cowled, and goggled, red-suited thug that was telepathically controlling the Guardsmen.
"I know. Tell me Flumm…" Pulsar said as… Hego moved? "Why the goggles, poor vision?"
"Yeah! Why?" he whined. 'I can't read her!'
"You Fool!" Mary howled as Pulsar threw a spark at his eyes!
"Blam! Pinggg! Ahhh!" was heard as Pulsar's armor was hit, Mentallo was blinded, and Mary…
Mary was terrified.
Hego stood. "Gone. Gone, Form of Man. Rise The Demon Etrigan!" Hego's form morphed into…
A twisted mockery… of a man…
A yellow, hunchbacked demon… firepits for eyes, dressed in red and green livery…
Stood before her.
"NOOOOO!" Mary cried.
"What's HAPPENING!" Mentallo cried as he flailed around. "I CAN'T SEE!"
Etrigan looked at Mentallo… "Your gift allows you to see what Mortals wish they could let be… You Pride yourself on seeing what is hid… Come pray tell, see what I BID!" The Demon said as he extended his essence towards Mentallo.
'SHIT! Goddamned Rhymer!' The Guardsmen were freed. "SHUT OFF YOUR AUDIO! NOW!"
They managed to do so before…
"NOOOOO! ggggHACK!" Mentallo died. Blood ran from his nose, eyes, and ears.
"So another falls… Before the Good Guy From Hell's Halls… HAHAHAHAHHAHA!" he growled as he turned towards Mary.
"BURN YOU!" she howled as she focused her pyrokinesis on Etrigan.
'Are you stupid or what?' Shego thought as the demon grinned.
"T'is but a Tingle Dear Lady Compared to Hades' Fire… Come Have A Taste of MY Desire!" Etrigan unhinged his jaw…
A gout of Hellfire turned her to Ash!
He turned to Pulsar and leered. "Ah! If only You as She would'st adorn my Bed…"
Pulsar held up a hand. "Ok. That's enough. Or I'll call my Guy."
"No reason to sound the knell… For I am the Good Guy From Hell." He growled.
"Guys, he's a Rhymer… don't talk to him." Pulsar said over her link as she addressed her men.
"What?" a SHIELD trooper asked.
"Shut. Just don't talk to him ok? He'll fry your Brain and Soul. Audio on." She glared at the troops.
"Ok…" they said. "So why's she get to talk to 'im?" one trooper whispered to another. "She's Class 100+ on the scale…" "Ohhhh."
She looked at Etrigan. 'I know I'm gonna regret this…' "We need your help."
"T'is the day villains dread… To Wit… T'is the Day they must go to The Pit! HAHAHAHAHAHAmph!" Etrigan said before Pulsar pinched his lips shut.
"Look a little rhyme from you goes a long way. Just help us by taking who you're supposed to. 'K? NOD please." She growled.
He did.
"Let's go!"

Drakken's Lair…
"Well?" Drakken hissed at his lackeys as they surveyed the data.
"The test is a success, Sir." One said as he cringed before a screen. "All subjects are performing as you predicted."
"Good." He hissed as he pulled up data on Shego's genome. 'Soon… I shall understand how your powers work… at least enough to harness the Bose-Einstein condensates that controllably oscillate between their matter/antimatter states…' he grinned. 'boom.' He flipped to Viper's readouts.
A door hissed open…
"AGGH!" he cried as Viper bit his neck!
"Now! I will NOT be denied." She hissed as she stripped.
"Leave. NOW!" he screamed.
The lackeys ran…
"Gods YES!" she cried. "Uhhh."
