Chapter 5: Aviarius is back
"Are you sure that blasted piece of rock is here?" Shego asked irritated.
"Yes I'm sure," Drakken growled, "if there is any place where parts of that comet are stored, it's here. Are you sure we're searching in the right shelf?"
"Yeah, this was the year the comet hit our tree house."
Suddenly, the door opened and Drakken and Shego both looked up to see Kim and Ron entering the room.
"Oh, if it isn't the princess," Shego snapped, "don't you have anyone else to steal powers from?"
"How many times do I have to tell you, I did not steal your powers."
"Oh yeah?" Shego walked up to Kim, "then how come you won't give them back?"
"Because I don't know how," instinctively Kim took a defensive stance, "and because you refuse to take your rightful responsibility and turn yourself in."
"I guess I have to rip my powers from you then," Shego launched herself at her rival in a flurry of attacks.
Unwilling to provoke the villainess more, Kim did not activate her powers. Although this meant she had to go all out to defend herself from the fury that attacked her.
However, after a few moments Kim saw that due to her anger Shego was getting sloppy and her attack left her without a proper defence. Soon, Kim saw an opening and punched Shego in her stomach.
Not deterred by the drawback, Shego jumped up and attacked Kim again. This time the redhead could easily toss the green skinned woman aside.
"Why don't you use my powers," Shego growled as she launched herself at her nemesis once more.
Kim grabbed Shego's arm and flung her into a shelf, "Because I don't need them."
The moment she said that, Kim knew she made a mistake. This last insult was too much for Shego and she threw herself at Kim in a renewed fury.
This time the attack was too much for Kim and she had to give terrain. But, just as with the previous attack, Shego's anger prevented her from thinking clear and it didn't take Kim long before she was able to regain the upper hand again.
After Kim had thrown her nemesis into the shelves one more time, the attack stopped and Shego stayed on the floor, breathing raggedly.
This confused Kim, sure the attack had been ferocious but Shego couldn't have been that much out of breath.
"Why do you always have to be Miss perfect?" Shego snivelled, much to Kim's surprise, "Why didn't you use your powers…my powers?"
"I-I…" Kim was at a loss of words; she had never seen Shego this vulnerable.
"Of course, you don't need them," Shego sneered, her anger returning, "You can beat me perfectly without even breaking a sweat."
"That's not true Shego, normally we're pretty much even."
"Then why don't you use those powers?" Shego yelled.
"Maybe she just wants to see her glow," Ron suggested to a dumbfounded Kim.
Kim looked unsure at Shego, "Is that true?"
Shego faced an internal battle between her pride and her desire for the glow powers; her pride lost. "Yes," she sighed, "I really miss it, I've never been without my glow since I was a small girl."
"I see," Kim mumbled, "well, I don't know if it helps…"
Kim activated the green glow and encased her hands in green plasma.
Shego looked at the glow with a mixture of pain and happiness, then she extended her hand and touched Kim's still glowing arm, "It even feels the same."
"So, you were looking for pieces of the Go-comet?" Kim asked softly as she slowly diminished the Go-glow.
"Yes," Drakken told, "but we can't find it anywhere, I guess the only part that remained of the comet was in Aviarius' staff."
"I see," Shego slumped down.
"There might just be someplace where the meteorite is," everybody looked at James Possible who had also entered the room.
"In the research lab are also some meteorite samples, the comet you're looking for might just be there," James beckoned the others to follow, "if you promise to behave, I will bring you there." When he said that, he looked more sternly at Ron than at Drakken or Shego.
As they entered the research lab, Shego immediately recognized the rainbow colored meteorite. She wanted to run to it and grab it out of its shelf but was held back by Kim's father.
"Easy there Shego, this is the last piece of the meteorite that is remaining, so we have to be careful with it. Now if Kim is okay with it we will start figuring out something to transfer your powers back."
Shego looked pleadingly at Kim.
Kim sighed, "Shego, we had an agreement. Will you hold up your end?"
"Come on princess," Shego tried, "you know I can't cope with prison. How about I give up crime for three months… half year? A year?"
Kim smirked, "I doubt you can hold to that. But alright, if you give up crime for a year you get your powers back."
Shego cringed a little, "Now maybe a year is a little much, but I will surely not do any big crimes for the next year. I will only help Dr. D. a bit with his plans."
"Hey!" Drakken said with a hurtful look, "How are my plans no big crimes?"
Kim chuckled, "Okay, if you promise to only help Drakken, it's fine by me."
Drakken grumbled incoherently as both Kim and Shego had a bit of fun at Drakken's expense.
Suddenly, an explosion shook the room and a giant condor flew in. before anyone could react, Aviarius jumped off the bird and grabbed the piece of meteorite from Dr. Possible's hands.
As the condor flew off again carrying the bird clad man, Kim got to her senses and, with a plasma empowered jump, she landed on the back of the condor.
Despite the struggle on its back, the large bird continued flying and was soon out of sight.
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
When Kim jumped on top of the condor she had not expected to have a lot of effort in capturing Aviarius, but she found out too late that he had a whole swarm of exploding hummingbirds with him.
When she faced the small mechanical birds, Kim found out that her powers were not functioning.
Aviarius laughed, "Did you really think you could win so easily?" he pointed at a small devise on his wrist, "With this power dampener I have you helpless."
Kim smiled, clearly Aviarius still didn't know her, nor her skills.
The redhead easily kicked the remote for the hummingbirds out of the villain's hands and then started to restrain him. It didn't take her long to deactivate her opponent's power dampener, making it even easier to win.
To say Aviarius was surprised is an understatement; he had never been very athletic or strong and usually relied purely on taking his opponent's powers away.
Desperately he commanded his condor to help him, but as the bird turned its head to try and peck Kim, it got caught in the flock of steer-less hummingbirds. Although the small birds did not explode, their bumping into the larger bird made I impossible to fly well and in an attempt to regain height the condor shrugged off Kim and Aviarius.
As Kim and Aviarius plunged to the ground Kim looked around for something for her grappling gun to attach to. Unfortunately they were above an open spot just outside Middleton with nothing to break their fall.
"Hold on," Kim grabbed the panicking villain and activated the glow in her feet.
When they were about twenty feet above the ground, Kim fired the plasma with all her might, slowing their fall to a full stop even before they hit the ground.
Exhausted, Kim sat down and looked saddened at her newly acquired, and now scorched shoes; the soles were completely gone and most of the fabric was badly burned.
From the corner of her eye, Kim saw movement. But as she jumped up to face whatever Aviarius had in stock for her this time she was enveloped in an almost transparent bubble.
Aviarius grinned as Kim tried to break out, "How do you like my newest invention, the 'Go power nullifier containment field'?"
"Kind of a long name, don't you think?" Kim smirked, "What happened to 'thank you for saving me up there'?"
"Hah, you were the one who got me into that." Aviarius tossed a net over the bubble and called his condor back, "soon I will take that power from you and vengeance will be mine."
Kim sighed as she gave up trying to open the bubble, as far as annoying villains went, Aviarius scored pretty high.

A/N: I hope you liked it. I know Shego might be a bit out of character here, but then again we have never seen her without her powers for more than five minutes in the show, and even then she had other things on her mind.
