Possible's Dying Hard
Chapter 3
Kim woke up the next morning, and saw Ron still sleeping. She reached for her Kimmunicator to call Wade. "Wade, what did you find?"
"Good timing, Kim. I was just about to call you. You won't like this. Shego has stolen the following parts. One: The Pan-Dimensional Vortex Inducer. Two: Jack Hench's Attitunadator."
"An untimate power source, and a personallity reverser in Drakken's hands. That is not a good combination. Throw in a group of unknown terrorists, and we'll have our work cut out for us. Could you patch me through to my parents?"
"Sure thing, Kim." Wade started typing at his computer.
"Kimmie-Cub, is that you?" A man asked.
"Yes, Dad, it's me. I was just calling to tell you that this mission could take a while."
"How so, Kimmie-Cub?"
"I just found out that my archenemy Drakken has possession of two very dangerous technologies, an ultimate power source, and a personallity reverser. This mission is going to take a while for Ron, John, and me to solve."
"I know Ron, but who is John, and am I going to have to give him the Black Hole speech?"
"No, Dad." Kim said with exasperation in her voice. "John is a police officer who is giving us a hand. He's at least as old as you, and thinks I'm just a kid."
"Those people can be dangerous, Kimmie-Cub."
"Daaad!!! John thinks of me more as a daughter than a girlfriend. Just tell the school that Ron and I'll be missing classes for a few days while we once again make the world safe."
Kim heard someone scream in the apartment.
"What was that, Kimmie-Cub?"
"I don't know, Dad. I'll have to sign off now." Kim put away her Kimmunicator.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING?!?!?" Kim heard John yell.
"Oops, I forgot to introduce Rufus to him." Kim said as she ran to John's bedroom. Kim found John pointing his gun at Rufus. "John, don't. That's Rufus."
"Rufus?"
"Yes, the final member of Team Possible. Ron bought Rufus at Smarty Mart while he was on sale, but he is far more than a pet to us. Right, Rufus?"
"Uh-Huh." Rufus said as he shook his head yes.
"I must still be asleep. I could've sworn that I heard that vermin talk."
"Rufus can talk, only simple words, but he can talk. Rufus is actually very intellegent for a naked mole rat."
"A what?"
Kim sighed . "A naked mole rat."
"I don't care what you call it, it's small and scampers around, so I call it vermin."
"Don't talk that way about my Rufus. He and I are best buds. Besides, he chews through the ropes I always seen to get tied up in." Ron said as he walked in, awakened by John's yelling.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Ron's clumsiness usually gets him, and sometimes me, caught. The villian usually ties us up, and puts us in an elaborate death trap. Then the villian explains their evil plot, and Rufus or I get us out of the ropes, then I beat up the bad guy. That is how our missions usually go."
"Sound's like you'd be safer alone, Kim."
"If Ron wasn't around, neither would Rufus."
"You wouldn't get caught if Ron wasn't around."
"I never said that. I remember one time, I was called to Hawaii. This little girl by the name of Lilo had her dog kidnapped, so she called me. I left Ron behind to look after Lilo, and raided Drakken's lair by myself. Drakken caught me, and was going to finally win, but Lilo and Rufus raided his lair and rescued me. I didn't have Ron with me, and I still got caught."
"You once said Drakken's plans are self-foiling."
"Yes. Drakken's plans have two things wrong with them. One: me, and Two: his own incompetence."
"How can Drakken be a mad scientist if he's incompetent?"
"Actually many of his plans would have worked, if he ever thought about the minor details."
"What do you mean?"
"Like the time he stole the Pan-Dimensional Vortex Inducer."
"Was that the time he tried to steal it from Dementor?" Ron asked.
"No. I'm talking about the time he sent us all to the television dimension."
"That was an intersting fight."
"What happened?"
"Drakken hooked the inducer into a dimensional generator. He intended to use the inducer to destroy us forever. However, the generator opened a vortex to the television dimension. In this dimension, television shows are real."
"Did you find out how the mistake occurred?"
"He was installing his new cable, when the cable installer accidentally hooked the laser to the cable line. When the device was activated, a portal appeared and we all went into the television dimension. We escaped because Wade was able to help us out."
"Hey, Kim, have you heard from Wade about Shego's thefts?" Ron asked.
"Actually, yes." Kim answered with a hint of fear in her voice.
"Alright, spill it. What is the problem?" Ron said realizing something was bothering his lifelong friend.
"Shego stole the inducer and the attitudinator." Kim said.
"So?"
"Ron, remember the attitunadator?"
"Oh, oops."
"Yeah, and now picture the attitunadator with the power the inducer can produce, and being in Drakken's hands."
"Great, now we have a problem."
"Exactly."
"What is the attitunadator?"
"An invention of Jack Hench, the CEO of Henchco. He created the device to draw out you're good and evil essences and replaces only the evil essence. Ron had that happen to him once, and nearly took over the world as Zorpox the conquerer."
"How was he stopped?"
"Kim beat me up and zapped me with the fixed attitunadator. I went back to being good."
"You've had a lot of adventures."
"When you have saved the world as many time as I have, you'll have a lot of stories too."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You have failed to retrieve the detonator. Tell me why I should let you live." A shadowed stranger told Drakken and Shego.
Shego noticed several men drawing guns. Shego charged up her plasma and fired a shot at each of the men. "Because, if you want to kill us, I'll stop you anyway I can. I will beat you and your men before they could draw their guns again. Always remember that."
"Very good, I might let you live after we win."
"If you're plan succeeds. Kim Possible and that Baffoon are the reasons Shego failed. She has a habit of foiling evil plans."
"KIM POSSIBLE, THE TEEN HERO?!?!? You never mentioned her. How do you know her?"
"Princess and I have fought on a number of occasions. I'll beat her someday."
"This will make the situation more difficult. but our plan will still succeed. I'll give you another chance, we found another version of that detonator. Shego, you said you'll take anything from anyone, right?"
"Where is the detonator, and who do I steal it from?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Now, can these devices be used together?" John asked.
"I don't really know." Kim responded as she pulled out her Kimmunicator. "Wade, could those stolen devices be used together?"
"Give me a few minutes to see if they're compatible." Wade started to type at his computers. "O.K., Kim, I've found something. Do you remember Electronique?"
"The old Team Go electrical villian? Yeh, I do."
"If you convert the helmet like she did, and hook it to the inducer, it will generate a blast that will effect a large number of people."
"How large?"
"Give me a sec." Wade started typing again. "Uh-Oh."
"Wade, translate 'Uh-Oh' now."
"Everyone on the eastern portion of the US will be effected."
"Meaning what?" Ron asked.
"Meaning You, John, me, and everyone else on the east coast will become instantly evil if they carry out their plan."
"Won't the bad guys become good?"
"Normally yes, but if they sent Shego to steal a remote detonator, they could be safely out of the area of effect before activating the device."
"This is so not good, this is very, very, very bad."
"How bad could this be?" John asked.
"John, you're a cop. Picture if everyone on the east coast was a criminal. Imagine the damage and chaos that would insue."
"Good point. We have to stop them as quickly as possible."
"Wade, call me the second Shego tries another break in anywhere in the world."
"Got it, Kim."
"Shouldn't Wade be in school?"
"First, it's a Saturday, second, Wade graduated collage already."
"That's not possible."
"Wade is a super genius. He finished high school and collage in just 8 weeks. Now we just wait for Wade's signal."
