"Bring it," the creature challenged giving them the 'come here' sign.
Masked Dog was the first to attack. "Rubber Chew Toy of Vengeance!" he screamed turning into a rubber spike ball. One of the best chew toys out in the market.
"World Cup Round Bicycle Kick!" the hairless creature screamed in retaliation, doing a flip kick sending Masked Dog flying back.
"I got him!" Scooby, Courage, Snowy, and Brain barked as they jumped up to 'fetch' Masked Dog still in his ball form. After catching him, they proceeded to chew on his squishy body. (It is the worlds best chew toy after all)
"Hey knock it off," Masked Dog protested struggling to get out of the jaws of his companions. Unfortunately he found that he was unable to revert back to his dog form so they kept on chewing on him.
Chip and Dale tried a double team attack, attacking from two sides. Anticipating this , the creature jumped out of their way, causing the two chipmunks to crash into each other. They weren't the only ones. Hamster 2 tried to tackle him as well, along with Chim-Chim, Zebra Donkey, as well as the other dogs after Masked Dog changed back. But the hairless rodent kept dodging them, jumping on their backs, and pretty soon all the animal piled up on top each other with him standing over them in triumph.
"Is that all you got," the creature taunted. Suddenly without warning, Bullet moved with supersonic speed, body slamming their opponent sending him flying to the wall.
"I've had enough of you, you hairless freak! It ends now!" Bullet declared as her eyes started to glow. But just before she could fire her eye beams, Buck placed a flipper on her shoulder.
"Stand down soldier, I've got this." Buck said with authority. Normally Bullet would just ignore the military crazed penguin, but there was something in the look of his eyes that said she should listen to him. Powering down her eyes, she reluctantly backed off. "Alright cupcake it's just you and me," Buck challenged. Buck and the creature stared each other down. The others just stood back and watched with anticipation. A minute, two minutes passed without either one making a move. The only sounds in the room were of Scooby and Courage's teeth chattering. Then a bolt that was knocked loose in the scuffled fell to the ground with a loud clanging noise. That's when the creature made his move! Charging straight at Buck screaming his war cry. Buck just stood perfectly still, waiting for the impending attack. The creature threw a straight punch right at Buck's face. Buck reacted promptly blocking the punch with one flipper. Everyone held their breaths to eager to see what happens next, but to their disappointment, nothing happened. They just stood their as if they were on a freeze frame. "So you think you've tested us enough?" Buck said confidently.
"Yeah, I'm convinced you're not bad guys." the creature smiled as backed off.
"What is going on here?" Snow demanded.
"True warriors can communicate with our fists, and I could tell from that first hit, he didn't want to hurt me or us. Trust me, he's one of the good guys." Buck explained.
"Just like how I'm now certain that none of you are evil villains," the creature said.
"I might be more inclined to believe you if we knew your name." Brian said suspiciously.
"Oops, my bad. You can call me Rufus, Rufus Stoppable. My companions over there are my owner Ron Stoppable and his friend Kim Possible." Rufus said pointing to he unconscious girl and boy.
"Wait, Kim Possible? As in the Kim Possible, the young teen adventurer? That Kim Possible?" Snowy gasped. As a reporter's pet he's been hearing a lot of rumors about this Kim Possible. A girl who came out of nowhere a few months ago and now has been going around the world helping with various disasters. The strange thing is, this is the first time he's ever heard of a partner or an animal mascot. That is something his reporter pride will not accept.
"The same," Rufus confirmed. "We came here to stop our arch nemesis Dr. Drakken from yet another of his evil schemes to take over the world. I tell you fighting him is really becoming more of a chore these days." Rufus sighed.
"Ah-Ha, he's the one who is responsible for causing all the people to fall asleep!" Dale deduced. "Pretty dumb that he got himself as well."
"Yes he is dumb," Rufus agreed. "But that wasn't his plan. He was going to use this giant magnet to pull the moon closer to the earth in order to cause global chaos."
"Wow that does sound pretty evil," Courage whimpered.
"Yeah and stupid," Hamster 2 said examining the device. "This magnet is nowhere near powerful enough to pull the moon from orbit. Not only that, it's not even pointing at the moon. Seriously how can you mess that part up? Even if he did managed to turn this thing on, all it will do is cause his lair to implode on itself."
"That's Drakken for you," Rufus said shaking his head.
"So wait, this isn't the evil lair of the fiend who stole the Stun Bomb?" Snowy asked. Feeling a bit disappointed that his information was wrong.
"So you guys weren't coming here for Drakken?" Rufus asked.
"We were following that blimp from Washington. The criminals in there stole a top secret weapon. We thought they would be here." Chip explained showing Rufus the picture of the zeppelin.
"Oh you mean that blimp?" Rufus pointed out the window to an identical evil lair on a cliff with the zeppelin anchored next to it.
"Sheesh how many evil lairs are on this mountain?" Zebra Donkey shrugged.
"Dozens actually. This whole mountain range is owned by Hench Co. Industries. They built evil time share lairs all over the place for villains. Why do you think so many of the battles between good and evil always takes place on a mountain." Rufus explains.
"That would explain a lot." Snowy nodded in agreement. Seeing as how many of TinTin's informants keep pointing to these particular mountains on various cases.
"Well now that we know where the perps are, I'd say let's crush them." Buck said rather insanely.
"You can't just go up there," Rufus insisted. "The security on these lairs are air tight. Not to mention that the cliffs over there are pretty steep. Very hard to climb. That's why Drakken choose this one. Much easier to get to."
"Well then it's a good thing for us that some of us don't need to climb." Hamster 2 boasted presenting the Ranger Plane somehow already inside the lair.
"How did you get that in here already?" Dale wondered.
"If I told you then I will have to kill you." Hamster 2 joked.
"Alrighty, the rodents fly up their in their little plane while the rest of us hot foot it up to that lair. Except for you squirrelly, I need you for something else." Buck explaining his game plan.
"Hold up, if what you said is true, and these guys are responsible for what happened to my friends, then I'm coming with you." Rufus insisted.
"Sorry but this is our mission here." Buck said.
"Yes but I've infiltrated several lairs designed like this one. I know how to bypass their security." Rufus argued.
"Fine, you're with them." Buck pointing to Chip and Dale on the Ranger Plane. "Now remember you guys mission is to undo the security and to scout around. Do not make any moves against the enemy until we get here, capiche?"
"All except the capiche part." Dale saluted nervously.
"Thanks," Rufus cheered as he rushed over to Ron's oversized pocket.
"Hey where are you going, we need to go now!" Chip insisted.
"I just need to get dressed," Rufus said putting on a small wool hat, scarf, and tiny mittens. "In case you haven't noticed, I'm the only guy here not sporting a fur coat." After Rufus finished putting on his warm clothing, he jumped into the Ranger Plane along with Chip, Dale, and Hamster 2 on the pilot's seat.
"Alright, Rescue Rangers Away!" Chip cried out.
"We're not calling ourselves that," the other animals objecting to the name.
The Ranger Plane flew towards the lair. As they got closer, they started feeling a bit of turbulence. "What is that?" Chip wondered as he tends to be overly cautious at times.
"Magnetic shielding. Designed to disable most electronic equipment. Who ever is in there isn't messing around. Good thing we're in this masterpiece. No electronics and very limited metal parts." Hamster 2 said admiring the Ranger Plane's construction.
"Alright you guys time to get serious," Rufus said directing their attention to the lair. Hamster 2 uses the suction cups to anchor the Ranger Plane to the side of the wall. Safely hidden from view. Rufus then led them to an air vent that Kim usually uses to break into these lairs. After disabling the silent alarms, Rufus guided them in. Carefully sneaking in they followed the now dressed naked mole rat through the vents. The team made their way to the security office where they found one lobster taking a nap. Careful not to disturb the guard(?) Rufus and Hamster 2 got to work disabling the alarms. Afterwards they hurried over to the front door and opened it. Outside they found Buck, Masked Dog, and Brain just finishing up taking out the roaming patrols. Off to the side, Bullet was airlifting the rest up over the cliff. Stealthfully they all crept inside the lair looking for the Stun Bomb. That's when they heard some strange voices up ahead.
"You won't get away with this!" one voice declared. While they didn't recognize it, they knew that it was human.
"Oh please, I've already gotten away with it." a second voice laughed with a smudge attitude. Again they knew this voice to also be human, and most likely the mastermind behind what happened to all the humans. "But I am curious to how you manage to escape my initial use of the Stun Bomb. By my calculations every human on the planet should have been out cold. Captain Contradiction."
"Ha like I'd tell you." Contradiction said in defiance. Following the voices, the team of rodents found themselves at a room with a Fat Cat and his gang along with two humans. One human in military uniform was dangling above what they assumed was a pot of boiling acid. The second human, they couldn't make out his face but he was wearing a lab coat.
"Awe, come on, if you tell me then I promise I won't drop you in this tub of acid." The villainous human snapped his fingers and Fat Cat pulled out a small handkerchief and tossed it into the pot. The handkerchief melted away before it even touched the acid.
"Alright I'll tell," Contradiction cried. "I was in the top secret file room when it happened."
"The file room?" The villain repeated puzzlingly.
"It's a special isolation room where we keep our top secret files. Completely shielded from any outside communications so that no one can hack the computers. Security in there is so tight, they only allow one person in at a time." Contradiction explained.
"So my Stun Bomb transmission wouldn't have reached there. So how did you find me so quickly?"
"After I realized what was happening, I used the homing device we installed on the Stun Bomb here." Contradiction answered.
"IDIOTS, how many times have I told you to disable that tracker!" the villain scolded Fat Cat.
"Sorry boss we'll get on it right away." Fat Cat promised as he and his gang scurried away.
"Now where were we?" the villain pondered.
"You were about to let me go," Contradiction said hopefully.
"Wait, you said they only allow one person into that file room right?" the villain asked.
"Yes," Contradiction gulped nervously.
"And there's no other room like that in the Pentagon?"
"Not that I know of," Contradiction thinking about it for a second.
"Then that means, there's no one else coming after me!" the villain laughed. Contradiction jerked realizing that his enemy no longer has any reason to keep him alive.
"We've got to do something!" Bullet whispered just itching to swoop down their and not only rescue the guy hanging over a giant boiling bathtub, but to also take the bad guy down.
"Hold up soldier. If you do anything rash you could jeopardize this mission." Buck lectured. While he did want to help the human, he understood that casualties are an unfortunate part of war.
"Fine you guys wait here while I'll not only rescue that guy, but also take out the bad guy." Bullet boasted before flying off.
"Bullet! NO!" they all whispered after her. They all watched as Bullet sped towards Contradiction, getting ready to haul him to safety when something moving very fast slammed into her knocking her down. Bullet looked up to see a duck in a black suit with a big 'Q' on her head.
"Quackor what's the meaning of this?" the villain demanded.
"Intruder sir. A super powered one, and I don't think she's alone." Quackor reported looking over at the other animals.
"What? Intruders? Sound the alarm!" the villain ordered.
"You want them you're going to have to go through me!" Bullet said wanting to protect her friends. Bullet firing her eye beams at Quackor. To her surprise, Quackor took the full force of the beam without even flinching.
"Not bad, now try some of mine," Quackor said as she fired her own eye beams that proved to be just as strong as Bullet's.
"Okay this might just be fun," Bullet said putting up a false bravado. Trying to hide her fear since this is the first time she's ever gone up against anyone whose superpowers rivaled hers.
The villain realizing that Quackor is preoccupied, and that he had no one else with him, quickly made a mad dash for the alarm on the wall. Hitting the button activated the sirens all over the lair.
"I thought you said you disabled the alarms?" they all said to Rufus.
"The automatic alarms yes, but there's nothing you can do for manual ones." Rufus defended.
"Leave it to a mammal to mess things up," Buck complained. Bring a lot of hateful glares from his companions since they are all mammals. Soon a small army of animal villains came flooding in. Fat Cat and his gang, Blowhole and his army of lobster henchmen, the Red Squirrel, Professor Pericles, the Fluffy Bunch, the S.F.F.A.T.L. To name a few.
"Looks like it's finally game over for you, you pesky Rescue Rangers." The mastermind laughed revealing himself to the heroic animals.
"Professor Nimnul!" Chip and Dale gasped.
"We never agreed to that team name," the other animals stressed. "Also who?"
