Hey there everyone! It is I, whitem. First and foremost, let me give everyone a HUGE apology for taking so long to get this chapter finished. It's entirely my fault, and I will try very hard not to let it happen again. Captainkodak1 has shown great patience with me, and for that I am eternally grateful. This chapter was more of a collaboration between the two of us than the others as we wanted to get all the details correct… So it was not completely written by me. The Good Captain deserves just as much credit.

Let me shout out a HUGE Thank-You to everyone who read and left a review for the previous chapter: Kwebs, CajunBear73, Comet Moon, and Some1outthere… PLEASE tell your friends! We would like more reviews than this… Thanks.

Disclaimer: Neither captainkodak1, nor I whitem own any of the characters involved in this story.

Chapter 9

Previously on "Trial of the Hearts"…

"Agent Du?"

He turned to see one of agents in charge of gathering the intelligence from various sources.

"What can I do for you Agent Price?"

Agent Price handed him a few sheets of paper.

"This is some new intelligence on Dr. Drakken and Shego. I thought that since you had dealt with them before and that Team Possible was looking for them that this information would be important."

Du read over the report then looked back at Agent Price as he handed the papers back to her.

"Has this been confirmed by any other sources?"

Agent Price shook her head.

"No, but the information comes from an excellent source."

Du glanced back over the information then shrugged his shoulders.

"I'll look into it but until more information comes in I'll put a hold on publication."

Agent Price's face soured.

"Sir, this information could have a great impact on Team Possible's looking for Dr. Drakken and Shego. I feel that we need to pass…"

Will's voice rose a bit.

"Agent Price, just who has more experience here? I will watch over this information. Please tell the computer to route all information about this straight to me."

Agent Price stammered.

"But Agent Du, that is against protocol, all incoming information is suppose…."

Will's voice turned hard.

"Agent Price. You will do as you are ordered. Route all information on this straight to me and I will take care of it. Now return to your station. On the way there, put that information in the shredder."

Will turned to his console and pulled up the information she had just shown him. Agent Price headed for her desk and stopped at the shredder. She glanced over at the TV and then back at Du. It was well known that Du had a strong dislike for Team Possible. She pulled some papers from the printer and ran them through the shredder. Then returning to her desk she did as she was ordered. But, she also put a trace on the information concerning Dr. Drakken and Shego. Now all information would go to Du's desk, but it would also save it into another file in her station and it would not show up anywhere.

Will watched as Price returned to her station. He turned and began to work on the data before him. Over his shoulder he heard the shredder run. A small smile crossed his face. He glanced at the report in front of him and hit the delete key and confirmed with his command code. The report disappeared from the screen. He sat back and a smile crossed his face. It was only a matter of time and he would have his revenge.

…x x x x…

While Agent William Du leaned back in chair feeling quite smug about himself, he got another idea. Quickly he went back to his computer screen and brought up his Trash file. He had not emptied it yet, so he was able pull up the document again. He quickly created a new Folder on his desktop, saved the report in it, and then password protected the Folder so no one else could open it.

He labeled the file with a code that he thought word work quite well, even though it was quite simple, 1116-1819. The numbers represented the letters in the alphabet, and stood for KP-RS.

He then re-opened the document that Agent Price had given him earlier, and started to make a few changes.

The original document was a transcribed Telegram, and read the following:

Drakken and Shego spotted heading towards a US Dept of Energy Facility stop

Facility has sensitive information concerning a highly sensitive laser system called AVLISstop

Conclusion for reason possible theft: Nuclear

This is how the document read after Du made his changes:

Drakken and Shego spotted heading towards a US Dept of Energy Facility stop

Facility has sensitive information concerning a highly sensitive laser system stop

Conclusion for reason of possible theft: Unclear

He then pulled up his Nanosoft Words program, imported the changed document onto an official GJ template, and saved it to his secure folder. The next thing Agent Du did was to pull up his email program, and in the "To" entry field he typed in "Team Possible".

In the body of the email, he typed a simple sentence. "New information on Drakken and Shego, see attached." He attached the changed document, clicked the "High Priority" moniker, and hit SEND. The last task Will Du had to perform was to send a message to the US Department of Energy to inform them that there was to be an eminent break in

From her desk, Agent Price could see a look of determination on Will Du's face, and idly wondered what he was working on so feverishly.

…x x x x…

By the time Wade had contacted Kim and the two heroes were en route to the US Dept. of Energy, it was starting to get dark. Kim pulled up in front of the building and parked the Sloth right in front of the main entrance.

"Any security we should be aware of Wade?" Kim asked her tech guru via the Kimmunicator built into the dash of her car.

"There are 4 armed guards, and all secure entrances in the building have coded locks."

"The guards know we're here, right?" Ron asked.

"I'm assuming the GJ agent who sent me the intel. has already let them know. I'll see if I can confirm. You may as well go inside and see if Drakken and Shego have shown up yet."

The two young heroes walked up to the front entrance, and when Kim tested one of the swinging doors it opened right up. She looked at Ron with a raised eyebrow, motioned him to be quiet, and they slipped inside.

Right away they saw a security desk, but there was no one manning the station. Kim walked behind the curved desk, and looked at a set of four monitors. She typed a few commands, and located where the secure documents were stored, guessing that this where Drakken and Shego were trying to get to. Kim could see on a monitor that the coded door was still shut, so it looked like they hadn't reached it yet.

A laminated map of the complex was sitting on the desk, so Kim grabbed it and then motioned for Ron to follow her. Rufus popped out of Ron's pocket just then after a good long nap, and yawned loudly. Ron shushed his little buddy who then stuck out his tongue and quietly said 'Sorry'.

Just as they left the desk, Kim felt her Kimmunicator vibrate in her pants pocket. She knew that meant Wade was calling to give her a message on the screen, instead of making noise with a voice message.

The message read, "Silent alarm tripped just before you entered. Drakken and Shego in building at this time." Kim turned the unit so Ron could also read the message. Quickly and quietly the two young teens were able to find the Secured Document Storage room.

They had to get inside and check it out, so Kim took a patch cord from the Kimmunicator and plugged it into a port on the electronic lock. It only took a few seconds for the device to decode the lock and open the door.

Kim and Ron stepped into a large room in which three walls were literally covered with drawers that no doubt contained sensitive documents. At first they didn't see anything out of place, but then Ron tapped Kim on the shoulder and pointed up at and to the right. One of the drawers was slightly open as if it didn't get shut all the way. Rufus, who was also looking around the room, tapped on Ron's shoulder and pointed up towards the ceiling. Both teens looked up and saw a jagged hole that had all the tell-tale marks of Shego's plasma.

Without warning, Wade's voice suddenly came from her pocket, via the Kimmunicator. "Kim! When the Kimmunicator opened the door, it raised the silent alarm to a hostile level, and now the four guards have been given permission to shoot anyone on site that does not belong there! You better get out of there before they find you!"

Immediately Kim and Ron left the room, and at the same time down the hall to their left they saw two of the four guards, who at the same time saw them. They raised their pistols and immediately started to fire, making the two jump back into the room and slam the door shut.

"Now what Kim?" Ron asked, and before he could say anything else, Kim had shot her grappling gun into the hole in the ceiling, grabbed Ron around the waist, and they were hauled through the exit Shego had so conveniently made for them. Just as Ron's feet made it through the hole, bullets came flying through their exit, striking the ceiling of the room they were now in.

Quickly they ran to a door they assumed led out of the room, but not before they heard the guards calling on their radios. "Team One to Team Two. Hostile's are now on the 2nd floor. Repeat, Hostiles now on the 2nd floor!"

"But we're not hostile!" Ron yelled out. "Kim! What is going on?"

"They think we are the ones who originally broke in Ron! We've GOT to get out of here!" Kim quickly pulled her Kimmunicator from her pocket as the two ran down another hallway, not really knowing where they were going. In the haste to get out of the File Room earlier, the laminated map was dropped. "Wade! Can you somehow contact these guards and let them know who we are?"

"Sorry Kim, I can't. When the second alarm was tripped, it locked out all communications related to the building, even the guard's radios, from outside contact."

"We don't even know where we are going Wade! Can you help at all?" Came Kim's frantic voice.

"I can't access the buildings plans, but I can scan your immediate surroundings. Keep going down the hallway you're in, and that will take you to a stairwell at the end. Head to the roof, and I'll have the Sloth waiting for you there in hover-mode."

Just as Kim shut off the Kimmunicator and placed it back in her pocket, shots rang out again making the two duck. They quickly ran to the end of the hall amid a rain of bullets from two semi-automatic pistols, and they were lucky not to get hit. Ron slammed himself through the door, and they found themselves in the stairwell.

"Only a couple flights to the roof Ron… The building only has four levels… Go!" Feet slammed on the steps as they rushed up, and they reached the roof entrance, which also had a coded lock. Kim pulled out the Kimmunicator once more to defeat the lock.

Ron yelled, "No Time!" He took a step back and kicked the door just under the locking mechanism, splintering the frame, and throwing the door wide open.

Just as they shot out of the door, on the opposite end of the roof about a 100 yards away, were two of the guards, who leveled their guns on Kim and Ron. The teens dove and rolled to their right towards the edge of the building hoping that Wade had been able to locate them and had the Sloth ready and waiting. Bullets slammed into the gravel and tar that made up the roof as they rolled, and they stopped and stood just as they reached the edge. The shooting stopped and the two turned around with their hands up. Standing in the doorway they had just come out of were the other two guards, and now four handguns were trained on them.

Kim yelled out, "Stop! We're Team Possible! I'm Kim Possible and this is my Partner Ron…" Four distinct shots were heard and both Kim and Ron cringed waiting for the pain to start.

When they realized that they weren't shot, the two opened their eyes and looked at each other, and then at the guards, who now had their hands up. When Kim realized that the guards weren't giving themselves up to them, she turned around and saw a hovering GJ aircraft in silent mode! There in the open doorway of the hovercraft was none other than Dr. Elizabeth Betty Director. She was holding a rifle that was pointed at the guards, who each had a smoking hole near a foot in the roof.

Dr. Director reached to the side of the door with one hand while still holding the rifle with the other, and brought out a square device, which she spoke into. Her voice seemed to come from the hovercraft itself.

"I am GJ Commander Dr. Elizabeth Director. Stand down! This is Team Possible, and I can personally vouch for them. Drop your weapons."

The guards still had their hands up, but each had a pistol in one of their hands. Each of them now dropped their guns to the ground, and kicked them a few feet away. Rufus quickly ran over and snatched up the weapons and took them over to Kim and Ron, dumping all four in a pile.

Everyone watched the GJ Hover Jet land on the roof about 50 feet away. As soon as it touched down, Betty Director came out like a shot and ran immediately up to Kim and Ron. "Are you two OK? Are you shot, or injured at all?"

As she asked the questions, she looked the two over, and placed her hands on them looking for any kind of wound at all. Kim and Ron couldn't help but smile as the older woman with an eye patch continued to closely check them over. Kim finally said, "We're OK Betty. Just a little winded from running from these guys."

Betty whirled around on the four guards. "I'll have your badges for this! If either of these two had been even remotely hurt, you would have been busted to no more than a Mall Cop! Building communications have been restored, so now all four of you get on your radios and call for your replacements. You're all coming with us. I want answers!"

…x x x x…

The meeting was quite interesting… to say the least. Betty saw the email that was sent to Kim's web site by Will Du that had the attached document with official GJ heading. She questioned the guards, and found out that they only had basic information that the building was going to be broken into, and that there was no mention of Team Possible coming to assist.

Kim actually defended the guards by saying that she should have contacted them as soon as she entered the building to say that they had arrived. She also said that if she had done that, her and Ron would have also known that the door hadn't been forced to the secured room, and they wouldn't have had to by-pass the lock the way they did, triggering the secondary alarm.

"It's almost as if it was planned to happen that way." Ron said thoughtfully, not even thinking when he said it out loud.

"You know, your right Ron." Kim said.

"What? I am? Of course I am." He gave his trademark goofy grin.

"This was all planned out very well." Kim said. "Shego dropped in from the ceiling, opened the file drawer, and pulled out the documents they needed. The Dept. of Energy said nothing was missing, but I'll bet anything she was able to copy, or take pictures of the documents and then return them. If we hadn't seen the open drawer, thanks to you Ron, we wouldn't have had any idea that one was broken into. What kind of sensitive information was in that file?"

Betty picked up a piece of paper, and used it as a reference as she spoke. "A V L I S. It's an acronym for Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation. It's a process developed by the US Department of Energy in the 1980's and 90's to enrich Uranium, but it's never been used commercially."

"And that enriched Uranium can be used…" Kim started to say.

"In either a nuclear bomb, or in a power generation facility. So we have a 50 percent chance of figuring out what the reason those documents were taken for." Betty said, finishing Kim's thought.

"And here we thought Drakken was just after plans for a new kind of laser." Kim said. "This could be much, much bigger."

"One moment please." Dr. Director said, and punched some numbers her phone. A ring tone could be heard on the speaker since she had it so everyone could hear.

"GJ's Top Agent William Du speaking, how may I help you?" Kim's eyes rolled at the haughty voice of Du.

"Agent Du?" Betty said, "I am here with Team Possible, and we are trying to determine where the disconnect happened that caused these teens to almost be killed at the Energy Department. I was wondering… Did you confirm your source before sending your communication to Kimberly's email?"

"I was under the assumption that Agent Price had done so, since she was the one who handed me the information." In the background everyone in the room could hear a female voice shout 'What?'

"Do you realize you are on Speaker Phone, Agent Du?" There was a slight pause on Will's end of the line.

He then said, "I'm sorry Ma'am, but it appears that we have had a communications break down here. I apologize for Agent Price's lack of attention to detail. It will not happen again."

Kim spoke up. "I'll bet anything it was Shego who sent the original telegram. The information was vague enough that it could be interpreted a number of ways."

They all heard Will Du clear his voice. "Um… yeah. That sounds logical. We'll get on it right away and see if we can trace the original destination of that telegram.

"You get on that Agent Du, and let us know what you find." Betty Director said, and then punched a button, ending the call. Not only 2 seconds later, a beeping sound alerted Dr. Director that her secretary needed to speak with her. She punched the button.

"Dr. Director? You and Team Possible need to see this. Turn on News Channel 13."

Betty picked up a remote, and turned on a small TV mounted on her wall. There was a reporter standing just outside the Department of Energy building. "This is the site where it was reported that Team Possible was in a shoot out with guards earlier today. There were no reports of injuries, but we have heard sketchy reports that there has been major structural damage to a secured area. GJ is speaking with Team Possible at this time, but we are not sure if they are under arrest or not. Please stay tuned as we will come back if any more information becomes available."

…x x x x…

Inside their closest lair, Drakken was thumbing through the documents that Shego had taken pictures of at the Department of Energy. "Perfect Shego… Perfect! You should go into professional photography. I just simply cannot believe the US didn't look more into this technology. It's a very precise and efficient process. But no matter… I can make this system work perfectly for our benefactor."

"Speaking of our benefactor Dr. D," Shego said, "We need to get going. Our trip over seas is going to take some time, and I know that Kimmie and her buffoon partner will catch on soon enough and be after us. What was the guy's name again?"

"He never really gave us a name. It was just the letter 'T' with a small number 2 next to it. It looks like 'T Squared'."

"Huh"… Shego humphed under her breath. "Well at least he was able to get us transportation. I mean, have you looked over this jet he was able to send us?" Shego waved a hand at the aircraft that looked a lot like the one they had used when she tried to kidnap that Toy Maker. There were three glaring differences though. One, it was all black, meaning it was meant for night flying, two, it was almost twice as big to accommodate for a second seat, and three, it's size meant it could carry numerous weapons.

Drakken and Shego had already loaded all their necessities except for a few last things, and then they took off into the night sky. Shego thought that the radar jamming, and stealth capabilities of the jet were state of the art, which they were, but a certain 10 year old genius just happened to have even better detecting equipment at his disposal. He tracked the craft to the central highlands of Vietnam.

Wade began to sweat. This was not good.

…x x x x…

Drakken and Shego landed on a remote airstrip somewhere in the highlands of Vietnam. Nearby there was a small town in a valley, and Shego noted that the town wasn't on any map that she had studied of the area. After the two landed, a small troop of heavily armed mercenaries transported the two with much haste in a 4-vehicle convoy that consisted of 2 Jeeps, and 2 personnel transport carriers. The vehicles all looked like they had come directly from a TV show that depicted an American Mobile Army Surgical Hospital.

They traveled through the jungle until they arrived at a large clearing. In the center of this clearing was a large, modern building. There a uniformed officer stepped out of the building and motioned the vehicles inside, jumping on a running board of one of the personnel carriers.

Drakken couldn't help but look around as they drove in. The building was a fully modern research facility, with all the bells and whistles. Shego noticed several armored doors that had nuclear warning placards on them. She also saw a few with the Hazardous Material placard, in which all sections of the diamond had a 4, the highest level of hazard. The door that really concerned her was the one that prominently displayed the internationally known symbol for Biological Hazard.

After driving through the facility for about 10 minutes, Drakken and Shego disembarked from the vehicle. As soon as they stepped out, the officer who had waved them in handed the two a clipboard each, with a single sheet of paper attached. Both Drakken and Shego had to do a double take, as the man who was previously dressed as a simple officer, now had on a jacket that denoted him as a high-ranking General.

"Please sign this and all will be in order. Welcome to my facility. I believe we will have a successful partnership. You help me with what I want, I will help you with what you want."

…x x x x…

Approximately two days later, another jet arrived in the airspace high over the jungle near the facility. The flight was a scheduled commercial cargo flight, but it was watched carefully as precaution. At 50,000 feet no one on the ground could see the door on the bottom of the plane slide open and two forms jumped out. Their chutes didn't open as they fell though the night. Just above the jungle, there was a soft pop and their chutes popped open. The two figures barely had seconds before they hit a second clearing about half a mile from the facility.

Both Kim and Ron had used blacked-out chutes so they could not be seen, and both teens removed the HALO equipment they had used. As much as Kim liked jumping with parachutes, jumping out of the plane at 50,000 feet and free falling until only about 300 feet above the ground was something that took her breath away. They quickly hid the equipment included the oxygen masks and bottles that kept them alive while they fell through the thin air.

Both teens could easily see their surroundings as each of them had on night-vision goggles, and their clothing was also completely blacked out, as well as their back packs and other equipment. Kim touched her ear, activating the communication equipment that worked on a secure channel.

click"Ron, make sure all this stuff is covered up. We don't need to have some kid come along and find it, then bring mommy and daddy to see the new toys he found." click

click"Done and done KP. No one will find it."click

click"Good. Let's hope no one noticed our arrival. Wade's check of the area didn't show any motion detectors, or anything that might detect us nearby. Now we need to find the lab, and try to grab Drakken and Shego. If we can't get them, we need to destroy the lair. Wade is contacting the government to inform them that we are inserting into their country and why we are here. Dr. Director already spoke to Wade, and she informed him that a message was sent to the Vietnamese government, saying that they should be concerned to have someone like Drakken in their borders. "click

click"I agree with that. Let's get this over with."click

Kim was using a modified version of her Kimmunicator that was also all blacked out, and she continued to scan an area around them as they moved through the jungle toward what they assumed was Drakken's lair.

"Ron…" Kim whispered in Ron's ear. "We need to be extra careful here. This was an area where there was a lot of bombing during the war, and there were also a lot of air dropped mines. So be careful where you step. There might be old booby traps still around from the battle."

Ron snorted. "You are really full of a lot of cheery information aren't you."

Kim lightly smacked Ron on the back of his head, eliciting a smile from him as they continued through the jungle. They thought they would never see the lair until they almost stepped out into the clearing. Kim pulled Ron back and they settled into the heavy foliage at the edge of the jungle. They scanned the facility with their night goggles, not that they really needed to since the entire area was brightly lit. Ron tapped Kim on the shoulder.

"Drakken isn't normally this obvious. Do you think something is up?" Kim shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know… maybe he thinks we won't follow him?"

Both of them ducked as an armed jeep passed nearby. Kim tapped Ron's shoulder this time. "Ron, did those guys look like Drakken's normal goons? They looked like regular army troops to me. My weirdar is going off."

Ron shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe Drakken is moving up in the world and finally decided to get some real security. Anyways, we need to get in and stop Drakken." Kim nodded and pointed to a small area in the yard that was uneven. They would be able to use it to approach the building without being seen.

…x x x x…

After reaching the roof, they carefully peeled back a hatch. A number of guards lay unconscious along their way courtesy of Kim's knockout lip balm. Her lipstick laser had made short work of the lock, and Ron dropped through first, followed by Kim and landed inside a storage room. Kim moved to the door and slowly cracked it open. Seeing no one in the hall she motioned for Ron to follow her. They moved silently down the hallway, listening and watching as they moved. As they approached a set of double doors they heard a familiar voice that was oddly muffled.

"Just think Shego. I now have all that I need to complete my new work. Now all I have to do is supply our benefactor with what he wants first."

Shego's voice came through the door next. "I don't know Doc. Some of this stuff looks really nasty. Are you sure you really want to do this?"

Kim worked on the locked door as they listened. Her codebreaking hair comb made short work of the door. She nodded to Ron and he smacked the button to open the door. The doors hissed open and they charged in.

"Drop whatever you are doing Drakken." The blue villain screeched as he spun around. Shego turned to face Kim and Ron, and Kim came to an abrupt halt at what she saw. Drakken and Shego were outfitted with fully-encapsulated suits, complete with an air filtration system on their backs.

Taken by surprise at the entrance of Team Possible, Drakken dropped the two beakers of chemicals that he was holding. When they mixed on the floor, a green mist started to spread throughout the room. With almost an uncanny instinct, both Kim and Ron slapped their own miniature breathing apparatus over their mouth and nose. Kim's mind gibbered when she saw the mist start to corrode any metal it came into contact with. Sparks started to fly as the gas ate through electrical conduits in the room, and fires started to burst out from various junction boxes.

Shego and Drakken disappeared into the mist as emergency lights started to flash. The mist ate through the walls of two large cylindrical tanks of nearby chemicals leaning against the wall and they ignited into roaring flame. Kim and Ron retreated out of the room as the wall of rolling flames followed them out into the hall. Numerous klaxons throughout the building started to sound as the two teens ran for their lives.

As they ran down a long corridor, which was illuminated only by flashing red strobes, Ron looked over to Kim. "That's got to be a record for us for destroying a lair."

Both of them followed other members of the staff in abandoning the facility. As soon as the two were outside, they immediately took cover in the jungle. Kim tried to call Wade for pickup but something was wrong with the Kimmunicator. She motioned for Ron to keep going, hoping he knew to head back to the drop point. The plan had been for Wade to send their pick up to the same point, and all they had to do was wait.

The two made their way back to the where they landed, and Ron stepped into the clearing. When he suddenly stopped Kim ran into the back of him. "Ron, go on. What's wrong?" There wasn't an answer from her partner as Ron wasn't moving.

"Ron?" Kim stepped back and looked at her boyfriend, who by now was slowly raising his hands over his head. She looked to her right and saw 4 heavily armed soldiers pointing rifles at both of them. She slowly copied her partner's actions.

Just after Kim had raised her hands, a fifth man stepped out from behind the four who had weapons trained on the two teens. He looked to be someone of importance, as he had more than a few medals on the left half of his chest. He barked at one of the four, and the man shouldered his weapon. He walked over to Kim and Ron, and slowly took the hands of each, and handcuffed them behind their backs.

"What are you doing?" Kim said. "We're Team Possible. Doctor Drakken is an international villain and has built a lair in your county. Our partner contacted your government about why we are here, what we were doing."

A hand shot out from the man that had handcuffed them and struck her on the cheek with a backhanded slap that made her shut up. She glared at the man with the medals, who now spoke in English, but with a heavy accent. It wasn't so heavy though that he couldn't be understood. In fact, Kim and Ron understood him all too well.

"Kimberly Possible, Ronald Stoppable? The two of you are under arrest. You are in a restricted area of this country without permission." He then began to tick items off on one hand by pointing at his fingers. "You entered this country illegally, you attacked a national research facility, you assaulted a number of the staff of the facility, and you assaulted a number of guards responsible for the security of the lab. You are responsible for the deaths of 10 of the lab's staff including Dr. Drakken and his assistant, who asked for and had received asylum from this country. In addition to the murder of the staff, you will be charged for the murder of 100 innocent people in the nearby village, who died from the gas you released in your assault on our lab."

"What?" Both teens said loudly with dropped jaws, and immediately shut up when the four gentlemen with rifles raised their weapons slightly. The action was not lost on Kim and Ron, and they wisely said nothing else. Both of them knew that they had just been setup, big time!

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am General Trong Tri, and it is under my authority that you are to be taken into custody and tried for this atrocious killing of 110 innocent people and attack upon this nation. We will notify your government in the morning. You will be tried for war crimes against this nation, and you will most likely be executed for said crimes. Now, it's a pity that you resisted arrest." Ron could only watch as the butt of a rifle came at him from the side. He heard a thud and a gasp from Kim behind him. The hits weren't hard enough to knock them out, but definitely enough to make them drop to their knees.

After the troopers subdued Kim and Ron for their 'supposed' resisting arrest, they were then gagged, and forced to march through the jungle. Any misstep or stumble was rewarded by a blow with a rifle butt. When they finally broke into a clearing, burlap bags were placed over their heads before they were unceremoniously tossed into the back of a truck. They rode for a good two hours, and Kim and Ron had no idea where they were, or what was going to happen to them. Somehow along the way, they had both been able to move around and find each other's hands, and held onto each other for almost the entire ride.

After the vehicle finally lurched to a stop, they were roughly pulled from the back, and the bags removed from their heads. A morning sun could be seen rising over the buildings as Kim and Ron were led into a nearby building, which Kim noticed had a set of microwave dishes and a large tower on it's roof, indicating it was some kind of communications building.

They were led into a room that had a single television camera, where the gags were removed and they were forced to sit on two wooden chairs in front of the camera. The General stood behind them and placed a hand on each of their shoulders. He then nodded to a person who had been standing behind the camera, and a red light came on top of it, indicating it was on.

The General then spoke into the camera.

…x x x x…

Both Anne and James Possible were wondering why each of them had been taken from their jobs and then transported by a large black SUV to a GJ complex in Middleton. The agents that picked each of them up told both of them the same thing, that they were to come with them immediately, and to please not ask any questions, that all would be answered by the Director of GJ.

James and Anne were brought into what looked like a Board Meeting Room, as it had a large oak table about 5 feet wide, by about 15 feet long, and it had chairs all around. On one end of the room was a large flat-screen TV mounted up on the wall. Dr. Elizabeth Director sat in the chair directly opposite of the TV.

"Please, Dr.'s, have a seat." She said, motioning to two chairs next to her. A knock sounded on the door, and she pressed a button, releasing the lock. In walked two more GJ agents, each of them escorting a different person. It was Ron's Parents, Eugene and Jean Stoppable.

"What is going on here?" Anne and James said as soon as they saw their daughter's boyfriend's parents walk in. Anne continued to speak by herself. "We have rights you know. We demand to be told what is going…"

"Please, Mrs. Possible…" Dr. Director said. "I don't mean to be rude, but please be quiet. We are on conference with a General Trong Tri from over-seas." She motioned to the large TV, and pressed a button on the table in front of her, bringing up a picture that caused all four parents to take a breath.

"Ah…" The General said. "I see the parents of these… children… are finally present." Everyone in the room could see Kim almost growl at the word 'children'. "I wanted to tell you all what has transpired before I go public with this and inform your President of what these two have done in my country."

"What have you done with our children?" Anne said, speaking up first.

"It is not what we have done to them, but what they have done to us. If you are at all squeamish, you may wish to look away from what I am about to show you."

The screen changed to still picture's of what appeared to be a small Vietnamese town. Outside in the streets were bodies littered everywhere, some hanging out the windows of cars, and others were half way inside doors leading into various businesses. The Generals voice could be heard as various pictures were displayed on the screen, showing basically the same thing, what looked to be dead bodies everywhere.

"Your… children… have done this! They entered a restricted area of our country and attacked a national research laboratory. During the attack they assaulted at least twenty of the security and lab staff of the facility. Four of their victims are in critical condition. They destroyed the lab and released a gas of unknown origin that caused the deaths of 10 of the lab staff and an entire village of one hundred people.

"The director of the facility was Dr. Drakken along with his assistant Shego, both of whom were in this country legally after asking for and receiving asylum. Your C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N used their combat abilities in an obvious act of revenge. Normally acts of this type by national troops would be an act of war. However since they are civilian and not under the auspices of the United States Government, we will not consider this an act of war by the United States. However, we will be charging them with sabotage, espionage, and murder. We will also be adding war crimes to the list!

"My Government has authorized me to place these two under arrest for the Genocidal Killing of a large portion of our citizens. Any attempt at rescuing them at all will be considered an act of war on our country, and we WILL retaliate in kind! Kim Possible and Ronald Stoppable will be tried on our soil, and if found guilty, which I am sure they will, they will be executed by hanging until they are dead, dead, DEAD!"

Through the entire time that the pictures were shown and the General was speaking, the jaws of everyone in the room continued to drop lower and lower. After the pictures were done being displayed, and the General had finally finished speaking, the picture of he and Kim and Ron were now on the screen. All those watching in the room now saw tears falling down the cheeks of Kim and Ron, and could hear them trying to be strong without outwardly crying. That was all it took. One person in the GJ Board Room had the fortitude to speak up, and it was Kim's mom.

Her language was definitely not befitting a professional doctor, and a few choice names were hurled at the General. The eyes of both teens went wide as they heard the words coming from her mouth, and then the communication was disconnected from the Generals end.

"Mrs. Possible!" Dr. Director said over Anne's voice as she was still shouting things that would make a Longshoreman blush. "If you do not shut up, I will be forced to remove you from this room, and NOT… I repeat… NOT be allowed in any of our briefings. Do you understand?"

Dr. Annette Possible's mouth shut with an audible click, and she sat down hard next to her husband, who was still looking at her with shock on his face. He had never in his life heard his wife speak such vulgar things. Apparently seeing her daughter sitting there with a blackening eye and a foreign General telling her that her only daughter was to be executed was too much for her, and she snapped.

Dr. Director took a deep breath and let it out. "Now, after we had our lesson as to how NOT to speak to a foreign General, let's get down to business. How are we going to save your children?""

Anne Possible blushed a bit, and now the tears were starting to fall. James took her in his arms and the two quietly cried at the supposed fate of their child and her lifetime friend. They hadn't noticed yet that Eugene and Jean Stoppable were not crying, and they were actually already talking strategy with Dr. Director.
