KP in Quantum Leap

Sam Beckett leaps into the body of someone on Team Possible, it is bad timing, as they are about to go on one of their most important missions to save the world. Why has he leaped in this time? What must he right what went wrong in Team Possible? Can he right it and save the world at the same time? Especially now that a evil leaper has joined the fight?

Chapter 6: Dark Times

While Shego was piloting the stolen craft with Drakken in another compartment working on one of his inventions a out of thin air opens up and out steps through a black man. His eyes go wide for a moment and then his face goes lecherous as he admires the sexy form of Shego as she pilots the craft.

Shego growls as she notices him and says, "What! What are you doing Thames?"

Thames smiles and says, "Hey, can't a brother enjoy a fine body like yours? Besides Zoey… you should be more grateful since you were released from prison by yours truly."

Zoey grumbles softly and says, "I suppose so, and this body is much nicer looking and stronger than the one I previously inhabited. So just tell me where I am and what I'm supposed to do so I can get out of here and back home."

Thames shakes his head and says, "You can only go home if you successfully accomplish a mission, didn't I already explain that?" He sees the dark look on her face as she glares at him, telling him that she already knew that.

He looks down at the handlink and says, "Hmmms, good news. You are one of the most dangerous women on the planet. Your name is Shego, a super-powered sidekick to one called…" He hits the handlink, which squeals for a moment before he continues, "Drakken, a evil mad scientist guy who wants to take over the world. Your only equal rival is teen hero, Kim Possible and her sidekick Ron."

Shego/Zoey grins darkly, "I can handle Pim Possible and her sidekick, just tell me what right must I set wrong again so I can go home and we can track that… that SAM! He helped Alia escape from us for good! I want to destroy him for taking away my revenge upon her!"

Thames says, "First of all, it is Kim Possible, not Pim and second, according to Lothos this Kim Possible may not be as easy as you think to deal with. Do you remember when all those toys became giant robots?"

Shego/Zoey nods and says, "Yes, I was especially glad to see such massive and random destruction happening. What of it?"

Thames leans so that she could see his face better without taking her eyes off the clouds, "Well aside from the fact that you're the sidekick to the very man responsible for that massive attack, it was Kim Possible and the Ron character that put a stop to the two of them!"

Shego/Zoey frowns darkly as she takes all of this in and says, "I see what you mean. Anyone who can stop such a beautiful plan for world conquest should not be taken lightly." She then frowns and says, "And stop staring at her chest already!"

Thames grins and straightens up as he says, "Oops! Was I doing that?" before he laughs in a unconvincingly innocent way.

Shego/Zoey softly growls at him and says, "Tell me more about the right I must wrong before I lose my patience!"

Thames looks back to the handlink and says, "Lothos says your mission is quite simple, you must help Drakken win the villain race that the two of you are in. Also, the easiest way to ensure that you'll leap is by destroying the only one who can stop it, Kim Possible."

Shego/Zoey grins as she tilts her head forward, "Good… I can't wait to destroy this Pim person and help Drakken win this race."

Thames says, "Oh, and Lothos wants me to remind you that Shego, the woman you're inhabiting calls him Dr. D. since that's how she apparently keeps referring to him in the holding chamber."

Shego/Zoey nods to Thames and says, "Remember to call him Dr. D. I'll remember that."

Thames then notices Drakken coming through the door and to the cockpit and says, "Well he's here now so I'll leave you two alone and see if I can get any more information about the race from Shego."

Shego/Zoey nods and says, "Hey Dr. D." as he slides into the copilot seat.

Drakken grumbles and says, "Are we there yet?"

Shego/Zoey looks down at the controls which had an "in progress" map which showed just how much further there was to go and he time left at the current speed. She shakes her head and says, "No, we still have a ways to go, Dr. D."

Drakken makes a sound as if he was trying to will the craft to go faster and when that fails he yells, "We must win the race Shego! It is crucial that we win so that I, Dr. Drakken can become supreme ruler of the world!" He then laughs evilly to which Shego/Zoey notes that he does really well.

Shego/Zoey thinks, "With me by his side, even Pim Possible won't be able to stop me from making sure that Drakken wins this race."

(Meanwhile)

Kim/Sam with the others had managed to delay the take off of everyone else and capture one of the villains by the time GJ showed up but even still, the race managed to continue since the only villain they managed to capture was Duff Killigan and he was to quote, "Nay talking to the likes of them."

Ron says, "Don't worry KP, we'll stop them. We always do in the end."

Kim/Sam didn't know why he felt better at Ron's words but he managed a smile for Ron's words and says, "Thanks Ron. You're right of course! We'll win, that's what we do!"

A part of Kim/Sam still worried about what Al had said about the race and she/he didn't want it to come true but there was one thing that Kim/Sam was becoming increasingly certain about, and that was that nothing was impossible and with Ron's help, she/he would be able to do it!

Hego says, "Kim, I just want to apologize for my sister's escape. I know that it was probably my fault that so many of the villains escaped."

Kim/Sam shakes her/his head and says, "Don't you worry about it. Shego is a tricky one, I doubt we could have held onto her for long even in the aircraft."

Hego nods, "You're probably right, at least not until we got her into the chamber."

Kim/Sam raises an eyebrow and says, "What chamber?"

Hego sighs, "Before Shego went rogue, there was always a chance that one of our powers would go out of control due to something from one of our arch rivals so a chamber was built to suppress our powers but it was never meant to hold us unwillingly within it so if sis really wanted to, she could still have escaped from it."

Kim/Sam frowns and says, "Why didn't you ever use it on Shego when she went rogue then?"

Hego just shrugs for a moment before he says, "Because it wouldn't have done any good. Shego wasn't affected by any bad guy, which turned her into the villainess… she consciously made a choice, which no amount of locking her up will fix. It wasn't a simple case of powers going berserk which is what the chamber was designed for." He sighs, "Her brothers and I have had to face the fact that she has gone evil and wants to rule the world with Drakken."

Kim/Sam thinks about Hego's words and then after a few moments she/he says, "Come on, lets go. We still have a race to stop."

Ron joins Kim by her side even as Hego carries the mad, make that very angry golfer by one hand until they get to the aircraft. He glances at Kim every so often out of the corner of his eye as he thinks, "I wonder what's going on with Kim today? She seems so out of it for some reason."

As Hego puts Killigan away in the jail room on the craft, which had been designed to hold a number of various enemies that Team Go had earned over their crime-fighting career, so holding Killigan would be a simple task without his golf balls and clubs. Ron thinks, "Kim almost seems like a different person, so unsure where normally you couldn't shake that from her. I wonder if something is bothering her? Maybe I should talk to Rufus and see if it is all just in my head."

Ron walks off into the large craft and Kim doesn't even seem to notice, too preoccupied with her thoughts, which he found a little odd because when they became a couple their closeness grew and Kim seemed to know his moves as soon as he made them. He had to wonder what changed? Was she getting tired of him or maybe found a new guy to crush on?

Ron shakes his head and thinks, "No… Kim's not like that and if she was going to get tired of me, she would have done it long before now. Could something be bothering her that she doesn't want to talk to me about? She is better than I am with keeping secrets."

Ron pulls Rufus out of his pocket as soon as he felt he was in a private location where he couldn't be overheard. The naked mole rat was sleeping and remained so even after getting pulled out of the pocket.

Ron stirs his little buddy gently until Rufus was awake. He says, "Hey little buddy, I need to talk to you."

Rufus squeaks and looks up at his best friend/owner and wonders what Ron wanted to talk to him about?

Ron says, "Something's been bothering me lately Rufus. Kim has been acting strange lately and I don't know why. Do you think it could be all in my head?" He sighs a little, "I wonder if I did something wrong that's making her question our relationship."

Rufus remembers that another person currently inhabits Kim but he'd promised not to tell him. He makes a curious squeak as he listens, hoping that Ron will do what he usually does and talk himself to a solution without him having to say anything.

Ron paces a little and says, "I don't know what to do little buddy, I almost feel as if Kim is drifting and that I'm the only one who can help save her but I don't know exactly how I'm supposed to do that." He stops and looks at Rufus, "Well, no matter what's going on in Kim's head I know that she's still my best friend and I've never let her down yet. You'll help me too right Rufus?"

Rufus nods up and down as he squeaks, "Yep, yep!" to Ron. The little naked mole rat would do anything for Kim and Ron, even risk his little life for them if needed because he sincerely believed that they were worth it.

Ron says, "Thanks Rufus, I knew I could count on you!" He smiles at his little best buddy before he says, "I feel a little better now Rufus. So even if I don't know what's going on in Kim's head, I can still keep on being her best friend and boyfriend right?"

Rufus nods again in agreement, a little happy that he didn't have to try to explain to Ron that Kim isn't Kim. He wasn't even sure how he would explain it given his limited vocabulary and the fact that it seemed so unbelievable. Well, at least to a normal person because Kim and Ron had both been through some pretty weird stuff in their days as a crime fighter.

Ron smiles at Rufus and says, "Well, we better get back to Kim in case she needs us Rufus." He places the little mole rat back into his pocket where Rufus sticks his head out and sighs happily.

Ron heads back and finds Hego at the cockpit but no sign of Kim. He says, "Where's Kim?"

Hego glances at Ron and says, "I'm not sure. I assumed that she went looking for you since she took off pretty quickly."

Ron looks down at Rufus who just shrugs as he makes a "I don't know" kind of sound before Hego says, "Maybe she had to go to the little ladies room?"

Ron thinks, "First, Kim would not like it if you call her little lady. Second, she always takes care of that before we go on a mission." Still, she had been acting a bit off so he says in an uncertain voice, "I guess so. I guess I can wait here until she gets back."

(Elsewhere)

Kim/Sam is sitting on a toilet without really needing to go since she/he actually had company at the moment.

Al says, "Look Sam, for some reason all the previous predictions have got Pfft! Out the window!"

Kim/Sam says, "How can that be Al? What do the new predictions say? Am I still supposed to do that same thing?"

Al looks down at the handlink and while his lips move, there is no sound coming out of his mouth.

Kim/Sam waits for a few moments before he says, "What is it Al?"

Al says, "Ziggy is having a hard time admitting this but at this point, she's not sure what you should do. Her best guess is for you to keep doing what you were doing before and try to stop the villain race but as for the staying alive part, it seems now to be 50-50."

Kim/Sam says, "What does Ziggy think caused the sudden change?"

Al hits the handlink again and reads some more before he says, "No clue but Ziggy assures that she is working on it." He looks to Kim/Sam and says, "I haven't seen Ziggy this perplexed since…" He shakes his head and says, "Nah, couldn't be."

Kim/Sam says, "At any rate, I need you to go back and ask Kim something for me."

Al now has his interest peaked and says, "What do you want me to ask Kim?"

Kim/Sam says, "I think Ron is getting suspicious of me being in her body. I need to know what I'm doing wrong. Do you think you could ask her for some pointers on how to be… you know, Kim?"

Al blinks at the unusual request before he nods and says, "Ok, I will do that but until then my best advice is to act like a teenage girl with a boyfriend when not doing anything on this mission."

Kim/Sam lightly blushes and says while thinking about some of the things that boyfriend/girlfriends do together, "I don't think I can do that Al…"

Al breaks out into laughter for a minute before he says, "I don't mean you have to sleep with him. These are young heroes remember? Just be extra-nice and kiss him every time he does something that a girl would consider sweet."

Just then Al's handlink makes some noise as if signaling him. He brings it up to read it and his eyes grow wide before he nervously says, "Um, Sam… just be nice to Ron and treat him as if he were your best friend. Ah… ah… I gotta go! I'll be sure to pass on your message to Kim and return when Ziggy knows more too."

Al touches a few keys and a blinding white door opens to his right, just a little behind him. He looks at the door as if he didn't really want to go through it but then he says, "Bye Sam, I'll see you later!" before when whispering, "I hope…"

Al steps through the door, disappearing back into the future from whence he came which leaves Kim/Sam alone in the bathroom wondering just what made the Admiral become so unglued.

AN: Hello everyone, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. What do you think of the Evil Quantum Leapers? What do you all think of having a evil leaper in Shego's body who keeps getting Kim's name wrong? The name is borrowed from another evil Disney girl from Phil of The Future. Clever huh? What do you all think of about Ron's little talk with Rufus? Did you all like the talk Sam and Al had? What freaked out Al? Any guesses?

I'm not sure all of you remember who those two evil leapers are so here is a brief history. In the first episode (which there were 3 of) "Deliver Us From Evil" A new Leaper appears by the name of Alia and she tries to knock off Sam but fails. In fact, after the second time she fails to knock him off she has a change of heart and manages to escape with Sam in a leap. However the person who was Alia's hologram, a wicked woman by the name of Zoey decides to take revenge with a black guy who goes by the name of Thames becoming her hologram, but she fails. For failing she was supposed to end up trapped in the body she had leaped into for good while Alia went… somewhere. The show never said where as far as I know. For my story, I worked under the assumption that the bad guy (or bad woman in this case) almost always manages to escape. Oh, and I forgot to mention that Lothos is the "evil" version of Ziggy, the supercomputer used by the Quantum Leap project.

For more info, go visit: Quantum Leap: The Evil Leapers website. It has plenty of stuff about the evil leapers. I can't add the address as it keeps disappearing but I'm sure you can google it.

If you remember all this then 10 points on the Quantum Leap coolness factor to you!
