Chapter Seven
Shego swept through the corridors of Drakken's lair, happier then she'd been in years because she'd just done the impossible. She'd just showed Kim Possible that she liked her.
Shego could just imagine how the teen must be acting right now, she'd either be running around her room clutching at her mouth or she'd be sitting there dumbstruck with a thousand thoughts running through her head. The thief really hoped it was the latter.
"Shego! Prepare for the assault!" came Dr. Drakken's voice over the lair's announcement system. "The transports leave in twenty minutes!"
"So this is how it finally happens?" Shego asked the air around her as she slipped into her new room and began to don her specially made battle suit as Drakken liked to call it. It was far from a battle suit like the one Kim had used against her, it was simple made from a new material Dr. D had design. Bulletproof, knife proof, shock proof, with concussion dampeners, a gas filter and a half dozen other defensive systems. It focused on keeping her alive long enough to use her plasma which the good doctor had said was a weapon he could not improve upon. Yet.
Shego dashed towards the surface, eager for her revenge upon a world that now sought her life, clad all in black save a few pieces in green she was the dark angel of destruction that would lead the new army to crushing victory.
The world had let her off the leash the moment they wanted her dead.
The world would regret failing to silence her.
The world would burn for hurting her.
Dr. Drakken the creator of what he believed was the finest army to walk the earth thus far limped into his new command room; he took his place in the center and with a gesture of his hand sent a thousand synthetic soldiers to destroy the homes and livelihoods of seven thousand living breathing people.
Easternton never knew what hit it, dozens of sleek black and green hovercraft appeared on the horizon and before they could even pick up their phones to get help explosions rocked the town, destroying the local communications tower, severing the power lines and destroying the Easternton bridge, the fastest route for relief from the nearby Westernton army base. Within five minutes of the initial explosions the synthodrones hit the ground and immediately set about creating a perimeter to prevent easy escape for the civilians. The second wave consisting of Shego and her new elite Plasmadrones, black synthodrones with green claws capable of imitating Shego's abilities, landed in town square five minutes after the beginning of the assault and set about a tactic commonly known as shock and awe.
They disintegrated town hall with concentrated plasma fire.
"Listen up Easternton!" Called Shego to the growing crowd as she strode along the line of her dark soldiers, "Your town has just become the first victim of a war your so called protectors started! This peaceful little burg is under the control of the Villain Empire now and any resistance will be crushed as easily as that army base over the hill is about to be!"
Twelve miles away at the Westernton army base another tactic was put into use by the hundreds of synthodrones and hovercraft that came flying over the hill; massed artillery strikes. The synthodrones were under orders to simply lay waste to the area with no regards to life or property. They vaporized most of the buildings with initial plasma fire, destroying communications first followed by the largest groups of people.
In less than sixty seconds more than three hundred plasma scorched skeletons covered the earth of the former Westernton army base.
Dozens more died as synthodrones prevented the escape of fleeing soldiers with Dr. Drakken's latest infantry weapon; the Shock Staff. Similar in design to his earlier weapons save one main difference, where the other had only carried a concussive force to disable enemies this design was as lethal as any weapon employed by the military and was capable of killing with one hit.
In less than thirty minutes Drakken's army had conquered and suppressed an entire suburban city with few civilian casualties and minimal force outside of the military base.
It struck Shego how easy this had been and how much more damage their enemies would do when they inevitably tried to reclaim the city. When Global Justice came it would be they that would slay the citizens of this city not Shego and her forces.
A brilliant move by the good doctor. The civilian casualties would show that GJ was the real enemy of the people not the villains.
