Shego started lecturing. "Alright. You're in a game run by that black ball, Gantz. In a few moments, it's gonna play a Japanese excercise tune and pop open. There's a guy inside, don't worry about him. Grab the brief case and/"

"How did you kidnap us, Shego?", Kim demanded.

"I didn't kidnap nobody.", Shego defended. "I'm just as much a victim of this as you are, Princess. I just happen to have been here before. I'm going to need you to survive. And that means you're going to shut up, listen and learn."

"I'm not buying it.", Kim countered. "Did you and Drakken team up with Dementor?"

"What?!", Shego wondered.

Then she shook her head. "Look. I don't know how you died. I do know a little, a small little, about what's going to happen. And if you don't believe me then you're going to be killed along with your boyfriend and whoever that is."

Shego turned to the half-naked Japanese girl. "What is your name?", she asked slowly. "Uh...Onamae wa?"

Yori gave Shego an expression of fear. "Yamanouchi Yori".

"Do you speak English?", Shego continued.

"If you don't know anything about kidnapping us, how did you know we died?", Kim countered Shego. Then her eyes popped open in realization. She was dead.

Yori slowly chose here words. "Sma Engish.", she said.

Yori knew of Shego (as Yamanouchi kept track of all major criminals they may be called on to assasinate). There was no way she was going to let Shego find out about a secret ninja school, let alone hers. Every act of competence would make Shego suspect she was more than what Shego assumed her to be-which at the moment was no one.

Shego continued. "Then try to follow along. In a moment/

A New Morning Has Come played from no where.

Shego nearly panicked. "We're too late. When it pops, grab the cases then the guns then whatevers left. I'll pay attention to the warning and we'll sort this out on the street."

Gantz broke open. Sure enough, there was a person inside. He had no body hair and was hooked up to total life support. The racks that came popping out were loaded with weapons so science fiction, Kim was certain Dr. Drakken and Dementor had designed them.

Shego made no movement toward any of them. Kim hopped on that. "See, it is a trap. If that stuff was so important, someone as evil as you would keep it for themselves."

Shego snarled. "It is a trap, and you're gonna die, but it's not my fault. It's Gantz! This thing brought you here and it will be the death of you if you don't stop hating me and fearing it.

"I'm not grabbing anything because I'm the only person that stuff will hinder instead of help. The guns are time delay, while my plasma isn't. In the cases are suits that give superstrength as long as the capsules on them remain intact. I can blast through the suit from the outside, but from inside it. And you don't want to anywhere near these aliens we're gonna kill."

"Kill!", Ron exclaimed. "What you talkin' 'bout, Shego?"

"Shut up." "Put on the suit." "Grab a gun." Shego strung commands together with deadly intention. "Just. Do. It."

Ron looked at Shego, then the cases. He picked a case at random and openned it. A black body suit with blue/white caps on it was inside. Ron shrugged and started putting his arms in.

Yori saw that the Mystical Monkey Master trusted the criminal. Nothing from her skill set as a ninja blared not to:Shego acted like a witch tied to the stake, no 'tells' and even her pulse and breathing seemed stressed but understandably stressed. Yori felt it would be her honor to follow Stoppable-san's lead.

"I don't believe this.", Kim announced. "Ron, this is Shego. She's trying to trick you."

Ron shook his head. "Shego steals, fights, threatens...but lie? On top of that, I've only seen her this scared once. You know when."

Kim was lost at first. Then she remembered. Zorpox. Sharks. Why Ron only hints at what he remembers.

Ron could not figure why the suit wouldn't go on. Yori brought her case to him and tapped on the name plate. The kanji for her name appeared on the box. Ron looked at his box and tried to read his first Japanese letter.

Shego informed, "The suits are skin tight personal. You can't even wear underwear under them. Let alone wear another person's suit. That's either KP's or mine."

Shego took the suit from him and patted its chest. She then threw it to Kim. "Yeah, this is yours. Put it on."

Kim batted away the suit. "I still don't trust you. And if Ron is harmed I'll/"

"ifronisharmed", Shego mocked. "He will be harmed if you have to learn the hard way. Get in the suit. Get a gun. I'll see what we need to kill."

Kim stood flabbergasted. Ron was pulling on the remaining suit slowly, turning repeatedly as if he was going to offend one of the females with his nudity. Yori ogled Ron, but quickly pulled her suit on when Kim looked at her. Shego stared at Gantz' surface, trying to make sence out of the characters that surrounded the picture.

The picture was of a blue cloaked figure. It was female and had gray skin. Shego realized that while the rest of the kanji were context sensitive words, the first few needed to be sounded out. "Az-er-ath Alien. Likes:Poetry. Tea. Dislikes:Animal Boy. Quote:Az-er-ath Me-tri-on Zin-thos."

"I'm not killing anyone!", Kim screamed. She screamed as if she could somehow make it stop.

"You'd better.", Shego warned. "I'm not dying because you think every body on the wrong side of the law is an easily distracted madman one button push away from a self-destructed doomsday machine. There is a kill or be killed alien out there that will smoke us if we give it an ounce of mercy. We won't make it back if we don't kill it. You have...no head."

Kim seemed to dissappear before thier eyes. Yori dived for Gantz and started pulling everything she could from its racks. Ron was eaten into thin air. The ninja looked into Shego's eyes. She could see that Shego lamented that only her and Ron had suits, before Shego went away as well.

And then the room was empty.
