Disclaimer: Kim Possible is the property of Disney, duh. Since I don't own Disney, logic dictates that Kim Possible isn't my property either.

Shego pulled herself out of the hut and scanned the shoreline for Kim. As usual the redhead was nowhere in sight. The green thief began her traditional morning trek to the spring, intent on not going to far out in the water this morning.
When she arrived at the pond she was surprised to see Ron Stoppable casually sitting by the water in a traditional meditation pose. On the ground in front of him was the glass rose. Though there was no doubt that he had heard her approach, the former sidekick did not open his eyes.
Shego pulled herself within a few yards before wrangling her legs into a presentable sitting position. Once she was settled she launched a small plasma blast at Ron's head. As she had expected from his casual demeanor the ball of plasma was immediately absorbed by a plasma shield.
Ron finally opened his eyes. "That is something I have always admired about you Shego, you go for what you want."
"Where is Kimmie?" she demanded.
"Already aboard a jet en route to Middleton," he replied. "Don't worry, she didn't leave you behind voluntarily."
"Comforting," she replied with sarcasm. "What do you want, Stoppable?"
"Tisk, tisk, Shego. I give you a week long vacation on a beautiful deserted island with the woman you love and you get all snippy with me," Ron feigned a hurt look. Shego blanched at his words. She was about to protest when he continued. "What I want from you is the same thing Drakken used to want. I want a super powered villainess watching my back."
Shego eyed the blonde man carefully. Could this buffoon be serious?
Ron pulled a small remote from his pocket. Soon a small aircraft descended from the sky directly into the small clearing that surrounded the spring. The machine was sleek and deadly looking with swept wings that held two small but powerful swivel jets mounted within. On the back was a single larger engine. There was little more then cockpit and wings, but twin laser cannons were mounted close to the fuselage. It was what you would imagine if a high end motorcycle and a military fighter jet had a kid. The entire thing was painted in Shego's scheme of black and green.
"It is capable of near sonic speeds. So maneuverable you could fly it through any opening with larger then the five foot width it has with the wings fully swept back. It can hover anywhere from inches to a few thousand feet from the ground. I am sure with your piloting abilities you will be able to do some amazing stunts with this one," Ron watched closely as Shego eyed the new toy.
"You want me to be your sidekick?" she asked in disbelief.
"No, I already have one of those," he replied. "I want a general. In return I will give you whatever you want. I hear your interested in Iceland." He said the last with a little grin as if he had something funny.
Shego considered her options for a moment. "What if I said I want your girlfriend?" she said in an attempt to throw her own curveball.
Ron laughed out loud. "I don't think you are interested in Yori. Now, Kim Possible on the other hand." The former sidekick shrugged. "You may find her to be a little less prudish after I get done with her."
Shego stared at the man in front of her unclear of what he could possibly mean.
"I plan to use the Attitudinator on her as soon as we reach Middleton," said Zorpox. "I will take over the world, and that will take more then one general. Two birds, one stone. I keep Kim Possible from stopping me and I get a two generals that are known throughout the world for their, as Drakken would say, 'mad skills'."
Shego found herself finally starting to understand the scale of Ron's plans. There were a million details she didn't know yet, but there was little doubt that world conquest was well within the grasp of the boy she had called a buffoon for so long. Her mind turned to the idea of an evil Kim. Would I have a chance with Princess if she didn't have those stupid ideals holding her back? Would she still be my Kimmie?
The green thief turned to the small craft and once again admired it's fine lines. "I'm in," she said.
Ron finally rose to his feet. The blonde boy tossed the remote to the green villainess. "Good. I will meet you back at the lair. Enjoy the flight." With that Ron disappeared back down the trail Shego had arrived from leaving the woman alone with the small jet.
Shego examined the remote. There were several buttons; home, stealth, cover fire, and mount. Shego pressed the mount button. The small craft hovered closer. The small cockpit's canopy slipped back revealing a comfortable seat with more buttons then seemed reasonable. The craft dipped a wing to the ground and several of the surface panels shifted revealing grips that Shego could use to pull herself up. Before she did so Shego retrieved the rose from the spot that Zorpox had left it.
Once seated within the green villainess took the time to familiarize herself with all of the controls of the jet before initiating a vertical takeoff. Pointing the nose in the direction of Colorado, Shego pushed the throttle control forward all of the way. The pressure pushing her back into her seat left a small evil grin on her face.

Kim arrived at the lair in chains. There was nothing she could do as she was unloaded and led through the lair to a containment cell. The part that really messed with her was that Rufus was there to supervise the entire procedure.
When Yori had made an appearance, Kim had momentarily believed she had been rescued. But Yori had only taken the time to give Kim some cryptic warnings to stay away from 'her Zorpox-sama'. The ninja tossed Kim into a cell under heavy guard.
She had been alone in the dark for hours before Drakken arrived. "Miss Possible are you in there?" she heard the voice of Drakken coming through a small vent. She had noticed that all of the vents in the lair had been altered to smaller sizes.
"What do you want Drak?" she said. Kim put her back to a corner near the vent and kept her eye on the direction of the door. It was too dark to actually see the thing.
"I must warn you that Zorpox is planning something evil," said Drakken.
"Really," she replied sarcastically. "You should know. After all he is your partner."
"I was Ron's partner in operating the Bueno Nacho, that's all. We met at a shareholders meeting and we started talking." There was a long pause before the blue man's voice returned. "He tricked me."
"How's that?" she asked for nothing better to do. She didn't really believe what the man was saying.
"I accidentally let it out that Shego has a thing for you," said Drakken. It was a good thing that Kim's face was hidden in the darkness. "He led me to believe that you had similar feelings for her. I thought we were working on a plan to hook the two of you up. Unfortunately, I was duped... Zorpox is a devious man. If I hadn't witnessed him using the Attitudinator on that ninja girl I would still be in the dark."
Kim thought about her encounters with Shego since she had found the woman in that small apartment back in Lowerton. Could there be some truth in what Drakken was saying?
"Why are you telling me this?" she asked.
"So that you are prepared for when he gets back. He should be here soon," said Drakken. "I am leaving to warn my fellow villains. There is no way any of us are letting the buffoon upstart conquer the world before one of us does!" Apparently that was all the mad scientist had to say. When Kim called out again there was no answer.
A few minutes later the door opened. Waiting in the hall, flanked by several guards and Yori, stood Ron. In the ninja's hand was the Attitudinator. "Kimberly Ann Possible, I hope your ride from the island was acceptable."
"Cut the crap, Ron," Kim snapped. "Where's Shego?"
Ron had the still chained Kim picked up by a pair of henchmen and the teen hero was carried behind Ron as he led the way up to the roof of the lair. Along the way Kim threatened her former best friend about what would happen if Shego had been harmed.
Soon after the group arrived on the roof a dot appeared on the horizon. Kim watched as the dot grew into a small jet that came at them fast. The teen hero quickly recognized Shego's colors as the jet slowed and began to hover and circle the roof. The canopy slipped back as the compact machine hovered near the group of waiting people.
When the craft landed the front end split open and allowed Shego to roll out in an advanced wheelchair quite similar to the one used by the jets creator, Felix.
Kim was shocked into silence by the obvious betrayal. Who was I kidding? Shego is evil. She sided with Zorpox before, it only makes since for her to do it again. The teen's shoulders slumped as she realized that there was no one to come to her rescue this time. Kim hung her head and did her best not to cry.
This was when Ron turned to her. "Well, Kimberly Ann Possible, you have two choices." Yori handed the Attitudinator to her new boyfriend. He in turn held it out for the redhead to take. "Either put it on voluntarily, or I do it for you."
Kim felt someone behind her release the chains that held her wrists. She rubbed her wrists and eyed the device in Ron's hands. She calculated her chances of escape. Between Ron, Yori, Shego, and a half dozen guards, the odds didn't look to good. Considering how well Ron was able to use his MMP the last time he was changed she wasn't completely sure she could take him alone. Yori was pretty tough as well.
Then there was Shego. Kim avoided looking directly at the woman. If she had she might have seen the torn look on the green thief's face.
With a deep sigh, Kim reached to take the Attitudinator from Ron. Maybe someone will figure out a way to stop us and turn me and everyone else back...
Before she could get her hands on the demonic device there was a flash of green. A plasma ball knocked the Attitudinator from Ron's hands. Shego quickly pressed a few buttons on the remote control. The small jet took off by itself and began to sweep back and forth over the roof laying down laser fire.
Ron and Yori were forced to dive for the stairwell that led back down to the rest of the lair. Shego for her part sent the remaining guards for cover behind the roof mounted air conditioning units with her own brand of firepower. In the chaos Kim was able to retrieve the Attitudinator before running over to Shego.
"Let's get out of here, Pumpkin," said the green thief. After pressing another button on the remote the jet returned to them and the front split back open. Shego pulled Kim into her lap before backing into the cockpit while still lobbing shots at the stairwell to keep Zorpox at bay.
Zorpox and Yori could only watch as the jet rose and quickly maneuvered out of sight. The evil pair could hear the engines of the jet as it raced away at near street level below.
Ron paced for a few moments. "Yori, How are the upgrades coming for the synthodrones?"
"We will have a hundred units in a few more hours, Zorpox-sama," she replied.
Ron nodded as his plans began to shift again. Being flexible was one of the advantages he had over Drakken. He would adapt to this set back. "Take them and go to Go City."
"Do you wish me to kidnap Shego's family?" Yori did not care much for that idea. With their powers, the brothers would prove a difficult bunch to catch.
"No I want you to go to the prison there and retrieve a couple of people that I may have a use for," Zorpox smiled evilly as his newly modified plan began to solidify in his mind.
