Ch.6 Thank You, Miss Go
"And you are?" Shego had never met Yori before, and she was skeptical. Yori smiled. "You must be the great Shego-San," she said. Shego eyed her. "How do you know my name when I've never met you?" Shego asked angrily. Yori picked up on it. "Forgive me, my name is Yori. I only knew you because Possible-San spoke of a girl in green," Yori answered. As a sign of respect, Yori bowed to her. "You have manners, I see," Shego commented. "A master from the Yamonuchi school shows respect to everyone," Yori said proudly. Shego had heard of them.
"So, Kim talks about me?" she asked. Yori nodded. "Oh, yes," she replied. "She has told me that you are her greatest opponent," she said. Shego was taken aback. Kim respected her as an adversary? She knew she'd never admit it, but she respected Kim as well. It was one of the reasons she took such an interest in clearing her. "You're definately more respectful than that other cheerleading friend of her's," Shego stated. Yori nodded. "Oh, Bonnie-San." Yori had met her once. "I believe she said, 'What's with this San thing, you freak?', and then walked away," Yori remembered.
Wade brought them back to earth. "Uh, I hate to spoil the party, but you do remember that Kim is in prison right now, right?" The girls stopped and looked at Wade. "What brings you here, Yori?" Wade asked. Yori recounted how she'd recieved a call from Kim asking about Ron. "So it's gotta be someone who can shape change," Wade said as she finished. "I can only think of one person. Camille Leon." Shego'd heard of her. "You mean that stuck up heiress?" she asked. Wade nodded. "One and the same," he replied.
Yori looked at Shego. "If you don't mind, I'd like to accompany you in your search for Ron," Yori said. Shego was hesitant. "It would even the odds," Wade pointed out. Shego thought it over. "You're in," she said. They borrowed one of Wade's aircraft and took off. "So where would you start looking?" Shego asked. Yori remembered something about Monkey Fist. "Well, Possible-San told me that Ron had left in search of Monkey Fist," she said. Shego face palmed. With all the castles that lunatic owned, this could take a while.
Kim sat nervously in the court room. She had no lawyer. "What happened to due process?" she asked angrily. They weren't seriously going to try her without a lawyer. As she looked around, suddenly a tall gentleman in a suit took a seat next to her. "Who are you?" she questioned. He smiled as he sat his briefcase on the table. He extended his hand. "My name is Michael Roberts, attorney at law," he said. "I've been sent by Drew Lipsky to represent you." Kim all but jumped for joy. "Wait, Drakken? What's the catch?" she asked carefully. Could she really trust someone Drakken sent? He smiled. "There's no catch. And don't worry, everything's paid for." Kim shook his hand gratefully.
"All rise!" the bailiff yelled. Kim rose as he continued. "This court is now in session, the honorable Judge Tyler Stevens presiding," he said. The judge took his seat at the bench. "You may be seated," he said gruffly. With that, the prosecution began their case. "Your honor," the lead attorney began. "We have multiple tapes as proof that Mrs. Stoppable is a thief and murderer," he said. Kim couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Objection!" Roberts yelled. "Your honor, the defense would like to see these so called tapes," her lawyer said. The judge nodded. "Sustained," he said. "Well counselor, let's see them."
A tv and dvd player were wheeled into the court room and set up. First up was Wade's surveilence video. The person on camera had red hair like Kim's, but kept her back to the camera. "That's not me," she whispered to her lawyer. He nodded. "Your honor, all this proves is that the thief has the same hair color as my client," he said. The judge seemed to agree. "Do you have any substantial proof?" he asked. The prosecutor nodded. "I present Exibit B," he said as he produced another video. "This was sent anonomously," he explained.
The video was played, and the entire court room bore witness to Kim spinning her husband around and knocking him out. The video cut off after that. Kim squinted as she looked at herself on camera. "Wait a minute!" she yelled. "That's not me!" The judge banged his gavel. "Order!" he yelled. "Mrs. Stoppable, one more outburst like that, and I will hold you in contempt," he warned. Kim sat down. "Yes, your honor," she said. They then broke for lunch.
"So how can you prove that's not you on the tape?" Michael asked. Kim smiled. "There's only one of two possibilities," she said. "Either that was poorly doctored, or it was someone else." He shrugged his shoulders. "I don't follow," he said. Kim laughed. "It's simple. The person on that tape had blue eyes," she said. "As you can see, mine are green." He realized what she was saying. "But if that's not you, who is it?" he asked. Kim had an idea who it was.
Shego landed the jet. "This is our last possibility I can think of," Yori said. They were in a remote part of England, Monkey Fist's home country. Shego looked at the building in awe as she stepped out. "Ok, let's split up, but stay in contact," she said. Yori nodded. As far as she knew, Monkey Fist was in prison. That didn't mean he didn't escape. She went left, careful to avoid any possible booby traps along the way.
Shego went to the right. As she progressed, she saw what looked like another plane. She pulled out her Kimmunicator. "I think I found your plane, Wade," she said. Wade breathed a sigh of relief. "Is my baby ok?" he asked. Shego couldn't answer. At that moment, a squad of Monkey Fist's ninjas attacked. "Oh, perfect," Shego said. She fired up her plasma and started blasting. Soon the air smelled like scorched monkey. She was mopping the floor for a time, but they began to overwhelm her with their numbers.
"Yori, I could use your help!" she yelled. Yori's search was coming up empty anyway. As she rushed to help Shego, her attention was diverted by a ball of pink. "Rufus-San?" she asked. It was indeed Rufus. She picked him up, and hurried to Shego's aid. Shego blasted a monkey, only to get kicked in the back by another one. They were slowly forcing her to the edge. She looked down, and guessed it was a good two hundred foot drop to the bottom.
Even with her abilities, there was no way she'd survive that kind of fall. As the monkeys charged, they were kicked from behind. Yori had arrived. With the odds in their favor, the monkeys retreated, screeching as they went. "Nice save," Shego said. Yori helped her up, and Rufus jumped forward. He began frantically gesturing. "I think we'd better follow him," Yori said. Shego was not arguing. She couldn't remember ever seeing Ron without this pink rodent. "Lead the way, little guy," she said.
