3 Weddings And A Funeral.
By Kim's #1 Fan
Hey guys I'm back, and we're getting very close to the finish, so just stay with us.
I'd like to once again thank my good friend and beta reader, Data Seeker.
Without his help, my stories would never be this good.
I do not own Kim and Co. Or the Rescue Rangers, this is all in fun.
And Now...

Chapter 4: The Funeral
Part 7: The Capture of Desiree Delure.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Soon after everyone left, Tammy and Mrs Possible went back to Gadget's workshop.
"What is the plan again?" Mrs. Possible asked Tammy, as they headed towards the work table; there was a pile of junk next to it.
"Build another penlight for Shela,"
Explained Tammy as she rummaged through the junk for the right parts.
"That way she'll be able to talk to her prisoners, and see if they're reforming."
"It's a great idea Tammy," exclaimed Mrs. Possible, her blue eyes focused on the stuff,
"But I don't know how to build one of these penlights."
"Oh don't worry Mrs. Possible," replied Tammy energetically as she picked up a tiny circuit.
"Remember, I helped Gadget rebuild the original Penlight."
"And you still remember how she did it?" asked Mrs. Possible in amazement.
"Of course," Tammy replied as she interconnected two pieces together.
"Don't you remember? I have a Photographic memory." she gestured to her head.
"Oh, that's right." commented Mrs. Possible.
Meanwhile, Foxglove, Zipper and Monique were on the rangers porch, getting ready to leave on a mission.
"So what do we do?" asked Monique, wanting very much to help out.
"Well," began Foxglove softly,
"I suggest we search the city by air for Desiree."
Zipper buzzed in agreement, his wings a blur.
"Sure," agreed Monique excitedly,
"She can't have gone far.
She obviously has no money, and even if she did, she wouldn't know how to use it."
"Exactly," stated Foxglove immediately taking charge.
"Now Monique, you take the West part of town,"
"Right Chief." Monique replied teasingly giving Foxglove a mock salute with her wing.
Foxglove snorted with amusement.
"Zipper," she said turning her attention to the small fly.
"You take the East part of town."
Zipper buzzed in acknowledgment,
giving her a salute with his little hand.
"And I'll search the North and South ends of town." Foxglove told them.
"And if you find her, do not, I repeat, do not take her on.
This is a simple recon mission.
Got it you guys?" asked the bat,
who by now was in full leader mode.
"You got it Foxy girl." replied Monique.
Zipper nodded his little head in agreement.
"Good, we'll meet back here in one hour, if we haven't found her by then, we'll need the help of the other rangers. Ready Team?" she asked her new team.
"Ready boss!" replied Monique excitedly, getting her wings ready for take off.
Zipper buzzed happily.
"All right then, as Chip would say..."y all knew what she was going to say, so Monique joined her, and Zipper buzzed along.
"Rescue Rangers, Away!" they all shouted.
They took off and flew in different directions.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Monique searched the West side of the town, but all she saw were busy people making their way through the busy city, her brown eyes focused on the activity looking for Desiree.
While Zipper saw pretty much the same thing on the East side of town, his wings blurred, he was bored.
Foxglove didn't find anything on the north side of town either.
She flew inside an abandoned building and looked all around every single room.
She flew out, and was just about to give up searching, when she spotted her; A tall slender human
walking clumsily, as if she hadn't figured out how to walk.
'Gotcha!' she said to herself, and followed her through the air.
She clung to the side of the abandoned building with her feet, her eyes focused on Desiree.
The brunette woman moved to a row of garbage cans, which she quickly began rummaging through, for anything edible.
"Ugh," she heard Desiree say,
"The things I must do to survive."
she remarked angrily.
"Luckily for me, ze rangers are no more." she laughed to herself.
It was all Foxglove could do to control her anger, as she hovered over her.
As soon as Desiree's plate was full, she rushed back to her hideout, not knowing that she was spotted.
Taking a deep breath, she struggled with the hate inside her.
She imagined Dale singing softly to her, until her anger dissipated.
She took a few more deep breaths.
'I'd better head back to H.Q. And let them know I found her.' she said to herself.
And she flew into the air and headed back to headquarters.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Monique flew around the area, high above grassy plains on the outside of town.
She enjoyed flying, it gave her a thrill.
She most loved the feeling of the wind under her wings.
Her wings flapped as her eyes focused on the landscapes.
She flew down and landed on a tree limb in the yard of someone's home.
She looked around.
'O.K. Girlfriend,' Monique said to herself,
'Where would I hide if I were a mouse in a human body, and hiding from the police?'
She put one wing to her beak as she considered her options.
'She probably hid away from public places and...'
Suddenly, Zipper appeared in front of her, and buzzed at her.
"Zipper??" she gasped, surprised and startled by this sudden turn of events.
"What are you doing here?"
Zipper buzzed and made gestures with his arms.
"Did you find Desiree?" Monique guessed, relieved that this mission was over.
Zipper slapped his head and gestured for her to follow him.
"O.K." Monique shrugged her shoulders and flew after Zipper.
They flew some distance, and found Foxglove some distance away.
"Foxglove?" exclaimed Monique wondering what was going on.
"Monique," Foxglove exclaimed happily, as she flapped her wings.
" I found Desiree, she's on the south side of town."
Monique turned her head towards Zipper, as she flapped her wings.
"Is that what you were trying to tell me Zipper?" she asked curiously.
Zipper nodded, making a buzz that sounded like 'yes.'
"I found him first, and sent him to find you." Foxglove explained.
"Now let's get back to the others," she continued scowling.
"Desiree can't get very far as a human, but I won't take any chances of her escaping what she deserves."
"Take it easy girl," Monique told the hybrid bat in a soothing voice.
Zipper nodded.
"Let's just go." Foxglove remarked
(though it was out of desperation, not rudeness,) and turned and flew away.
Zipper and Monique understood her feelings and followed her.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Foxglove, Zipper and Monique flew back to ranger H.Q.
They landed on the porch with a grunt.(except for Zipper who continued to fly.)
Foxglove shook herself.
"Let's go team." she told her team as she walked toward the door and opened it.
Inside, everyone (except for Ron,)
was already there and waiting.
Kim, Dale, Chip and Gadget had all switched back to their animal forms.
"All right," Chip started to say to everyone present.
"Here's the plan, after we find Desiree's location..."
"She's in an abandoned building on the south side of town."
declared Foxglove softly, her eyes narrowed.
"That's great Foxglove." replied Kim getting to her feet, swaying her tail in the process.
"You alright luv?" asked Monty, noticing something about her face and body language.
"I'm fine," Foxglove assured him, though she kept her eyes on the floor.
"it took all my strength to not swoop down and claw her eyes out."
"I'm very proud of you." Dale said softly, going to his wife and hugging her lovingly.
"Thank you, darling." she whispered back to him, returning the hug, her wings surrounded Dale, like a blanket.
Everyone was silent, waiting for Foxglove and Dale to finish.
Then Dale and Foxglove turned their attention back to the others.
"Alright then," continued Chip taking charge.
"We'll move on to phase two of the plan,"
He looked at Kim,
"Kim, you'll go to the abandoned building where she's hiding,"
"I hope she hasn't left." Kim whispered to Gadget, who was right beside her.
Gadget nodded her head worriedly.
"draw her out," continued Chip,
"and challenge her to a fight."
"Got it Chip!" exclaimed Kim excitedly.
"Meanwhile," continued Chip,
"Gadget, you'll sneak up on her with the pen light and change her into an ant."
Foxglove grinned, an evil gleam in her eyes.
Then she scowled, her body trembled with emotion.
"You alright Foxy?" asked Gadget taking a step forward, a look of concern on her face.
"I just wish I were an insectivore bat." answered Foxglove, a bitterness in her voice.
Dale held his wife close.
"Foxy, I'm worried." he whispered into her ears.
"Will you be alright?"
Foxglove froze, resisting the urge to shove Dale away from her.
"I'll be fine Dale." she answered in a tight voice.
"Anyway," Chip continued, clearing his throat.
"We'll put her in a glass jar, with
holes in the lid, so she can breath
and we'll turn her over to Shela, with the others."
Then Chip got a serious look in his eyes.
"And to assure that she'll never escape, Shela will change Desiree's animal form daily, so she never get the chance to understand her new body, and formulate an escape plan."
"Great idea, Chip." Gadget remarked with a smile.
"No wonder I fell in love with you."
"Great," Chip continued, still in full leader mode.
"Now, does everyone understand their part in the plan?" he asked curiously, looking at everyone present.
"Right." everyone replied, almost simultaneously.
"Great," Chip nodded his head,
"Then let's do this."
"Rescue Rangers Away!" they all shouted and took off.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Desiree was lying on some rags on the floor of the room she was hiding in, trying to take a nap.
She didn't notice a small brownish bat sneak into the room, climbing the walls.
The little bat scowled, and carefully climbed into a different room unnoticed.
Then, she let go, and flew out the window in that room.
The bat then flew towards the Ranger Wing, far from the building, where the others were waiting.
"She's still in there." Foxglove told the others as she landed on her feet.
"We have to get her before she escapes." she added, her face full of desperation.
"Take it easy, Foxglove," Chip assured her, touching her shoulder.
"We have a plan to catch her."
Then he turned to the others.
"Gadget, Kim, do your part."
"Got it darling." replied Gadget, taking the penlight out of the Ranger Wing.
"Kim, get in place."
"No big," Kim remarked as she stood a distance from the Ranger Wing.
"Ready Gadget."
Gadget pointed the penlight at Kim.
"Say cheese," Gadget told Kim humorously, as she got ready to fire.
"Cheese," exclaimed Monty out of reaction to the word, cheese.
Everyone chuckled at the turn of events.
Then Gadget fired.
Kim glowed with the lavender light as she changed in shape and size.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Desiree Delure!" a loud female voice shouted from outside the building that Desiree was in.
"I know your in there, come on out or I'm coming in after you."
Desiree got up off the uncomfortable floor where she had been laying down, and went over
to the window of her abandoned building, and saw Kim Possible standing out in the street.
"Well, Well. Ze mouse/human has come to ze cat." she commented with a sinister grin.
She moved out of the room, and went down a flight of dirty stairs to the door.
She opened it, and went outside;
Kim's back was facing her, but she turned to face Desiree, her red hair swung in the process.
"Desiree," Kim said in a low voice.
"Well,Well, Well." Desiree chuckled evilly.
"If it isn't Kim Possible.
To what do I owe ze honor?"
"You killed my friends!" Kim spat angrily, deciding to convince Desiree that she had already won.
"Oh yes," she remarked contemptuously, her face full of rage.
"Ze Refuse Rangers. They turned me human, and sent me to some human prison, zey got vat vas coming."
"Your going to pay for what you've done Des!" replied Kim, getting into fighting pose her green eyes throwing glances for Chip and the others.
"I think you have it reversed?" remarked Desiree giving Kim a scornful look.
"Your going to pay for turning me into a giant clumsy human.
Now, I am hunted by ze human police, and can't hide as easily.
And now, your going to change me back into a mouse, or else."
Kim was silent, deciding her next move.
"Let's end this." she remarked, her muscles tightened as she got ready to jump.
"Amateurs first," Desiree taunted,
getting into a fighting position.
Kim ran at Desiree with a flying kick, but Desiree blocked it.
Then Desiree tried to punch Kim,
but Kim caught her fist and flipped her onto her back.
Suddenly, Kim spotted Chip motioning for her to move out of the way.
She jumped back.
Desiree quickly got to her feet.
"What's the matter?" she began to ask mockingly, just as a lavender beam shot out at her, turning her into an ant.
When the lavender beam disappeared, Desiree gasped.
Kim was now huge, as tall as a skyscraper.
"Sacre Blue," she gasped in horror.
She then noticed that she had four arms, and in shock, she looked herself over.
(She had an insects body, four limbs, her clothes had rearranged to fit her, she had blue eyes, and her head had short brown hair with two antennas sticking out.)
"Vat has happened to me?"
Then it clicked.
"Zuet alos!!" she exclaimed,
"I am an ant!!"
Then she heard a sound behind her, and saw, (she couldn't believe it,) the Rescue Rangers running towards her.
They were giants, (though not a quarter as big as Kim.)
She tried to run away.
Just then, Foxglove swooped down and picked her up before she could take seven steps.
Foxglove held her in her wing;
Desiree felt the bat's wings crushing down on her.
"Foxglove! No!!" Gadget and the others screamed desperately.
"Foxglove don't do it!" Shouted Kim from where she was standing,
fearful that Foxglove would give in to her rage and pain.
Foxglove turned to the others.
"What?" she asked with a frown.
"What did you think I was going to do?"
The others were surprised by this turn of events.
"We thought you'd lost it or something." Dale answered.
"No, I haven't lost it Dale." snapped Foxglove irritably.
"I just didn't want her to escape again. What's wrong with that?"
The others stared at her in stunned disbelief.
"Sorry Foxy," Dale apologized sheepishly.
"You've just been so angry since,
you know, that I was scared."
Foxglove lowered her head.
"I understand." she conceded.
Then she straightened up and handed a terrified Desiree to Gadget.
"Here."
Gadget held a tiny jar in her paws.
Foxglove dropped Desiree inside, and Gadget closed the lid.
Desiree looked up at her captors in fear.
"Just so you know," Foxglove remarked to Desiree, her glaring face inches from the jar.
"You didn't completely fail in that mission to kill us,"
As she told Desiree, tears swelled in her eyes.
"My mother is dead because of you. A tiny part of me, wishing revenge is justified."
Then she lowered her head.
"And may heaven forgive me for that."
Desiree stared up at the giant bat in great fear;
realizing how close she was to death, and maybe something worse.
"Uh, guys?" Kim called down to them.
"Can I be part of the conversation?"
"Hold onto this Monty."
said Gadget, (without thinking of the wisdom of her choice.) handing him the jar.
As Gadget went to get the penlight, Monterey held the jar high, and glared at the terrified insect.
"Just so you know," he told the tiny killer in a low voice as he struggled with his own anger and hurt.
"Rosie is dead because of you.
This was as hard for me, as it was for Foxglove."
Desiree trembled in fear.
Kim, (who was now in her mouse form,) noticed that behind the other rangers, Monterey was holding the small jar.
"Monty? Are you alright?" she asked concerned.
The others turned, and realized what was happening.
"Huh?" exclaimed Monty surprised by the question, and noticed the others were staring at him.
"oh, I'm fine." he assured them.
"I was just holding this."
"Maybe I should hold it." Dale suggested uneasily.
Monty considered that.
"uh, O.K.." he conceded handing Dale the jar.
"Let's go home." Foxglove told them in a tired voice.
"Let me out!!" Desiree screamed, (finding her nerve again.) as she pounded on the jar.
"You can't do this to me!"
"Sorry Des," Chip replied coolly,
"but you see, you killed someone we all loved with that time bomb,
and now, your going to do the time for murder."
"Zis is even worse then being a human," she sobbed sinking to her knees on the floor of the jar.
"At least change me back into a mouse, Please!" she begged.
"And take the chance that you'll escape again?" asked Foxglove, her rage building at the nerve of the question.
"Forget it, Murderer!"
"You should be grateful we don't squish you like the bug you are!"
added Monty, one of his fists clutched as if he would do that now.
Desiree lowered her head, not daring to say anything.
"Let's go guys." Chip told Kim and the rangers.
