Chapter 6: Power drain
"What do we do now?" Drakken asked as the condor flew off with Kim and Aviarius fighting on its back.
"Nothing," Ron smirked, "Kim can take out Aviarius easily, she should be back soon."
"Don't be too sure of that," Shego said, "Aviarius always had some tricks on his sleeve. Call your computer guy and see if he can track Kimmie's communicator signal."
It didn't take Wade long to find the Kimmunicator signal. "The signal is distorted though, there is some sort of interference."
"Is that bad?" Ron asked, "Could Aviarius somehow have captured Kim?"
"Looks that way," Wade told, "I've looked at the signal movement of the last five minutes and they appear to have stopped for a short while and then continued."
"Then Kim is captured," James said, "otherwise she would have returned after the stop."
"And Aviarius has the comet," Shego ran to the door, "come on, we can still catch up with them in the hover car."
"I'm coming with," Ron kept pace with Shego as they went to the hover car.
Shego shrugged, "Whatever, an extra distraction never hurts."
"Hey, you mean I'm a distraction as well?" Drakken asked in a hurt voice.
"Well doy. Now get in, I'll drive."

"So, what's your grudge against team Go?" Kim asked from inside the bubble as Aviarius settled it down in 'the Nest'.
"I have no grudge against team Go," Aviarius told, "I just want their powers."
"Then what's all that about that 'vengeance will be mine' stuff?" Kim questioned.
"That because I want to take revenge on those stupid animal protection agency that took my condors away, I used to have the largest condor population in the world."
"Okaay, what did you have those condors for?"
"They were the start of my flying army."
"Seriously, condors?" Kim smirked, "you felt to good for pigeons?"
"Silence," Aviarius shouted, "stop mocking me, you're just like Shego."
"I don't know if I have to take that as a compliment or an insult," Kim grinned.
"You may laugh now, but once I have your powers I will teach you not to mock with me."
Kim tried to follow what Aviarius was going, but he worked too fast and blocked most of her view because he stood with his back to her.
However, sooner than Kim expected, Aviarius had finished building the new power siphon
Suddenly the Kimmunicator beeped, Km picked it up and was greeted by a somewhat concerned Wade.
"Kim, I finally worked my way through the interference," Wade told, then he frowned, "are you in a bubble?"
"Yeah, I'm kinda trapped her at the moment," Kim smiled weakly.
"Well, help is on the way," the young computer genius insured her.
"But it will be too late," Aviarius laughed as he aimed the power siphon staff at Kim.
Kim looked around, but there was no way she could dodge the beam in the confines of the bubble.
The beam hit Kim and she had to endure the power suction for the second time. But as the green glow was pulled from Kim's body, it stopped on the edge of the bubble and no matter what Aviarius tried; the containment field firmly held the green glow enclosed.
Despite the terrible feeling of having the glow getting dragged from her body, Kim grinned. "Seems you have to let the bubble down if you want the power."
"And let you escape, I don't think so." Aviarius stopped trying to rip he power from Kim and the glow snapped back into her.
"Well, that was fun," Kim sneered, feeling drained, "you know you don't have too long before the others arrive, don't you?"
Aviarius grinned evilly, "You look exhausted, and if I use the siphon on you one or two more times you won't be able to do anything when the bubble is down."
"Oh no, not again," Kim groaned inwardly as the beam hit her once more, trying unsuccessfully to drain the glow power but succeeding in draining her energy.
"Hurry up guys," Wade urged Ron, Shego and Drakken from the spare Kimmunicator, "Aviarius is already working on draining the glow from Kim."
"We're going as fast as we can," Drakken panted, "why do we need to take the stairs?"
"Because we don't want to reveal ourselves to soon," Shego told, "and more importantly, bashing in from the top might destroy the staff."
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Aviarius grinned as he looked down at the limp form inside the containment bubble.
"Please, no more," Kim whispered, barely able to lift her hand in defence.
"And now he power will be mine," Aviarius laughed as he switched off the field and aimed the power siphon staff at Kim.
Suddenly Kim's expression changed into a smirk, "Thank you." The redhead jumped up just before the beam could hit her and kept dodging several more shots before she returned fire. Aviarius was not prepared and the plasma bolt hit him dead on.
Due to the energy drain the blast was too weak to do much damage, but it was enough to distract the villain en give Kim the opportunity to get some distance between her and Aviarius.
Kim was still breathing heavily from the energy loss but was recovering quickly and Aviarius knew he had to do something soon before the odds turned against him.
Clearly shooting beams at the girl wasn't working; even in her current state she was perfectly able to dodge them. And catching her in another containment field would probably not work either; he doubted he could get close enough to the redhead to capture her.
Suddenly he heard commotion behind him, turning around Aviarius saw Shego, the blond guy who was with the redhead and the blue idiot who thwarted Shego's victory.
Seeing an opportunity, the fowl villain cranked up the power to his staff and shot at Ron. Even though Ron had no powers that could be drained he yelped in surprise as the strange beam washed over him.
"Ron!" Kim cried as she ran to his aid.
Aviarius took his chance and aimed at Kim, but just before the beam hit her she shot a plasma bolt at the power siphon.
The staff sucked up the energy and began to glow green, but Aviatius was not prepared for the power behind the plasma blast and the staff was knocked from his hand.
Shego wasted no time and dove for the staff. As she grabbed it she felt the familiar power surge through her again.
"Finally," Shego smirked, "payback time."
"You said you would give up crime," Kim said.
"Well, that was when I was a different person," Shego grinned, "I, the real Shego, am evil."
Shego started throwing plasma balls at Kim, "that's for stealing my powers."
"For the last time, I did not steal your powers," Kim jumped up and dodged the plasma, "and I have you know that I still have the powers."
"What?" Shego looked surprised, "how can we both have them?"
"I have the glow," Kim smirked, "you only have the energy of one plasma bolt, I guess you will run out pretty soon now."
True to what Kim said, the plasma balls Shego threw were getting smaller and weaker. And shortly after, Shego was completely out of plasma.
Kim grinned as she got in a defensive position, hands ablaze, "What are you going to do now Shego?"
"Guess I have to suck the power from you again," Shego smirked as she aimed the staff.
"I will have the power," Aviarius launched at Shego and grabbed the staff.
As both villains were struggling to take the staff from one another, Kim helped Ron up and they silently snuck off.
Shego and Aviarius both pulled at one end of the power staff until it broke, leaving Shego with the staff and Aviarius with the crystal.
"Fine by me," Aviarius laughed, "I'll return soon." Then he called for his condor and was gone in seconds.
"He escaped again," Shego growled, "and he left me with the useless stick."
"I don't know if it's useless," Drakken took the staff from Shego and toyed a little with the controls on it, "I think the staff part sucks the energy and the crystal is only used to align with the type of energy that you want to drain... this thing is ingenious."
"But it won't get me my power back," Shego grumbled.
"Sure it will," Drakken insured, "we just need to have something that can synchronize with your glow."
"How about my brothers' glow?"
"I doubt it, if it's even a little off it might not work."
"Then we have to have Kimmie shoot some plasma, that won't be too hard."
Unbeknownst to Drakken and Shego, Kim had forgotten to pick up her Kimmunicator and Wade had overheard the whole conversation.
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
"So I don't use plasma in front of Shego," Kim shrugged after she heard the news from Wade, "that shouldn't be too hard, I managed for a long time. But one thing is sure, I will not give Shego her powers back unless it's after she spent her appropriate time in prison."
"But also be aware of Aviarius," Wade warned, "he still has the crystal and he can made a new staff."
"Maybe your father and the scientists at the space centre can help prevent Aviarius from stealing your power," Ron suggested.
"That could work," Wade said, "as far as I understand from what Drakken said, Aviarius uses the crystal to synchronize with you glow, enabling him to pull it out. If we can change the glow in such a way that it won't synchronize, we might have one less adversary to deal with."
