Chapter 5: Drakken's story
Drakken was reading wide-eyed, cold sweat running down his neck.
The raging fire had done much damage to the cyborg, but it kept coming. Its red glowing eye, now stripped from its flesh, looked purposefully at Roland.
The gunslinger threw another fire-grenade at the creature, which exploded just to its side, burning away more flesh.
The cyborg's hand looked more like a claw now, with the metal glistering in the firelight. The creature continued to walk towards Roland, every step followed by a loud 'THUNK' when the metal leg hit the marble floor.
Drakken couldn't take it anymore, he quickly closed the book and put it on his desk. Maybe he could read more tomorrow, but not now in the middle of the night, it was just too scary.
As he stood up, Drakken found that he had been reading way to long without a bathroom break. Not daring to pass Shego's room - she could be real cranky when woken up in the middle of the night - Drakken decided to use the bathroom at the other side of the lair.
As he walked into the main room, he heard a faint sound coming from the hallway across the room, it sounded like someone was walking there.
Curiously, Drakken stopped to listen better. The sound became louder as whatever was coming rounded the last corner in the hallway.
"Step… THUNK… step… THUNK… step…"
Cold sweat broke out all over Drakken's body and his hands started to shake, and then the figure came in full view…
In the dim light of the emergency lights Drakken could see a mop of red hair, a red light glowing where and eye should be and the faint glitter of metal over on of the legs.
Drakken froze for a second, then turned around and made a sprint towards Shego's room, all the while screaming, "Kim Possible cyborg! Kim Possible cyborg!"
Shego had just gotten to sleep when she was suddenly woken up by someone screaming, followed by a whooshing sound. She sat up and looked around, her door was open and a chattering noise came from under her bed.
"Now what have I told you about reading horror stories late at night?" she said, looking annoyed at the cowering form under her bed.
"B-b-b-but s-she is a c-c-cyborg, I-i-i saw her," Drakken stammered.
"Say what?"
"K-Kim Possible is a c-c-cyborg."
"And how would you come to that conclusion?" Shego sneered.
"I saw her, in the main room, with a glowing eye and a steel leg."
"Get out from under my bed," Shego said as she pulled Drakken out, "Look, there is no such thing as a Kim Possible cyborg. Okay?
Seeing that Drakken was too scared to move away from her bed, Shego sighed. "All right, come on."
"W-what, where to?"
"To check out your 'cyborg', maybe then you will go to your own bed, sheesh."
A very scared Drakken and a very annoyed Shego walked into the main room of the lair.
"See, nothing here, can you go to sleep now?"
"But Shego, she might have gone into one of the other rooms to ambush us."
"Yeah right, I can take on a cyborg Kimmie any day of the week… darn it, now you got me thinking there is a Kim cyborg."
Shego walked to the control panel and pushed several buttons. Camera shots of the whole lair showed, except for Shego's room (privacy reasons) and Drakken's room (TMI reasons).
"See, no princess."
Shego pushed rewind on the main room camera, nothing happened.
"Hey, where's the videotape?"
"I used it to tape a show on the discovery channel, cousin Ed was invited for an episode of Orange County Choppers."
"Ugh, security tapes are for CAMERA-TAPING-ONLY, buy new tapes if you're out."
Shego started pushing Drakken to his room, "now go to sleep or do whatever you do. But don't disturb me again!"
Drakken looked doubtfully at his bed and Shego screamed out, "for crying out loud, now you're afraid of that she might be under your bed? Well forget it, I'm not going to check. Goodnight." With that, Shego stomped off.
Drakken, now feeling a little foolish to look under his bed for monsters, climbed into bed and pulled the sheets all the way over him.
Under the bed, formerly hidden by the sheets that had hung partly over the bed, a glowing red light was visible.

The moment Drakken ran screaming to Shego's room; Kim knew she had to find a hiding place where Shego wouldn't look.
She thought frantically for a moment, then it dawned to her; Drakken's room.
As fast as she could, Kim limped in the direction Drakken went and moments later she was in his room.
The room was surprisingly tidy, and the only hiding place was under the bed. Kim stifled a giggle when she remembered Drakken's fearful retreat after seeing her, and now the 'monster' was under his bed, she just hoped Drakken would not check for monsters under his bed.
Kim knew she couldn't stay here until morning, she either had to find a new hiding spot or she had to find some means of transportation.
Thankfully Drakken had left his door partly open, making it easy for Kim to leave without making a noise. Although this meant she had to hop on her good leg most of the way unless she wanted to wake anybody.
About an hour later Kim returned to the main room, her escape plans pounded into dust. The entire building was locked, even the emergency exits.
Sighing, Kim leaned against the control panel when she noticed a big red button with the word 'cage' on it, next to the button was a childish drawing of her entering the lair and having the cage fall on top of her.
Kim shook her head; she had seen more drawings of Drakken's plans and they appeared to be getting more and more childish, he really should seek out a psychic.
With no way out at night and with Shego walking around at day, combined with the fact that she had no real means of transportation, Kim was pretty much imprisoned.
As she looked at the drawings again, an idea started to form. Admitted, it relied completely on Drakken's tendency to gloat, but that was not much of a risk factor.
Quickly, Kim began putting the items needed for her plan in place.

A/N: I hope you liked this one, this chapter was supposed to go together with the previous but then it would get a bit too large for my taste. Next chapters shouldn't take too long to follow.
