Kim Possible: Rogue

"Lilac Valley," Kim murmured, and they looked down into a narrow canyon between two high plateaus to a massive cliff that rose like a fortress before them.
"It's a mountain," the blonde behind Kim muttered. "Big whoop."
"It's a castle," Shego muttered. "That rock," she pointed. "Is a hidden door that leads into a military installation filled with more men, and weapons than you can imagine."
"Yet you still broke into it," Kim reminded her.
"Hey, it's what I do," Shego smirked.
"That's a coincidence," the blonde preened. "It's what I do, too. Let's go do it again!"
"Hold on, Goldilocks," Shego growled. "We need a plan."
"A plan," Hego smirked from where he crouched, eyeing his sister. "You?"
"This isn't like facing our old villains. No offense," she shot at Electronique. "These guys are out for blood. Not the usual doom and gloom bit."
"I have an idea," that pale former felon smiled as she eyed the camouflaged entryway.
"We could use one just now," Kim admitted. "I don't see us getting far if we just try to charge that gate. From what I remember…."
"I used the side vent shaft. But we couldn't all make it. It's halfway down a sheer cliff," Shego recalled.
Kim nodded.
"Actually," Electronique purred. "All I need iz zomeone to watch my back, and I'll open zhe front door for everyone."
Hego frowned.
"I'm know you're good with electronics, Electronique, but…."
"If zhey use electronicz to seal zheir doorz," the woman smiled, looking a bit more manic than ever. "Zhen I can open it. Juzt get me zhere, and it zhall be done!"
"I say go with our strengths," Shego grinned. "Everyone ready?"
Kim eyed the people around her, and noted most of them might look weary, but they were still ready to go. She couldn't imagine what they had faced in her absence, but she knew what she had suffered.
"All right. Let's go remind these guys this is still our world. Hego. Shego. Guard Electronique, and get her to the gatehouse. Everyone else. Take out anyone, or anything that pops up."
"Won't there be some…..humans here?"
"If you can tell, take it easy on them until we can decide if they're traitors, or pawns. Otherwise, don't take any chances. Remember, they started here, so there likely won't be many real people left anyway. Besides, this is for the whole planet. So if in doubt, take them down."
"Whoa, Kimmie getting hardcore."
"We all have cause," Kim told Shego now.
"And what are you going to be doing?"
Kim smiled.
"I'm the distraction," she smirked. "Give me five minutes," she told those closest her, "And then charge."
"Damn it, Kim," Shego started to complain, but the redhead was already moving down the slope, toward the canyon.
"Zhe is much like you, Zhego," Electonique giggled. "No vonder you like her."
Shego only scowled, but kept her eyes locked on Kim's too slim figure headed straight for the canyon floor.

"Will you please step aside," Junior sighed as he noted the sun had become less warm. Less bright. "You are disturbing my perfect tan."
He never opened his eyes behind his dark shades. He simply lay on the lounger around the pool, and absorbed the sun's rays to complete his tan. That did not stop him from sensing his glorious tan was in danger when someone loomed over him.
"I don't think that will long be an issue, human," the perfect copy of Junior smirked as he aimed a weapon at his face.
Junior's eyes finally opened, and he frowned as he looked up at himself.
"You look strangely familiar," he murmured, eyeing the copy of himself in a Henchco red and black uniform. "Have we met?"
"What matters, is that you are about to….."
"Don't…..move," another voice cut in just then, and they both turned to see another Hench, pointing a very sharp spear, at the alien.
The two Juniors frowned.
"Is this more of that complicated stuff? Because, honestly, I'd rather finish my tanning before we have to do anything strenuous," he complained.
"I guess that tells me who the real Junior is," the man said, and lunged forward.
The imposter, to his credit, spun aside, grabbed the end of the spear, and the pair went down wrestling for supremacy as the sounds of their struggle brought someone else running.
"Junior," Bonnie cried, rushing to his side. "Are you all right?"
"Of course, my sweet little buttercup," he smiled happily. "Look. The men are even putting on a show for us," he declared as he waved toward the pair wrestling over a spear that was between the two struggling bodies.
Nearby, a very alien looking weapon lay where it had been dropped after being knocked from a hand busy trying to keep the sharp end of the spear from its owners throat.
The two suddenly parted, one of them tossing the spear in his hand into the pool now, sneering at them.
The human Hench lunged forward, slamming hard fists into the other's stomach, and then pulled back to deliever a punishing blow to the eerily accurate copy of Junior's visage.
It was only then that Junior screamed.
"Not my face!"
Bonnie groaned.
"That's not really you," she reminded him. "It's an alien."
"I know, but he's so…..good looking."
Bonnie groaned anew as the Hench paused for a critical moment at Junior's shout, and ended up sucker-punched before he could react.
Even as the alien, still looking like Junior, raced to scrabble for the fallen weapon, he realized a small body had just stepped between him, and the others.
Hana Stoppable, barefoot, and wearing a light blue sundress, only smiled as the man reached for the weapon.
"Go ahead," the little girl told him lightly. "Try."
He growled, and reached to snatch up the weapon.
And fell back howling as he realized he had literally lost the tips of two fingers when a small foot slammed down on the deadly looking sidearm so hard it smashed the butt of the weapon, and severed the two fingers he had already curled around the butt.
"Impossible," the alien rasped, loosing his grip on his façade as the pain overwhelmed him, and he clutched his injured hand to his chest.
Junior frowned all the more as the man became a nearly featureless thing before his eyes, and waved dismissively.
"Fine, fine. You may beat him senseless. He is no longer good looking," he complained.
Bonnie groaned again as the alien stared as Hana took a step closer.
The alien glanced around as Senor Senior, Sr. appeared just then, looking grim, and leapt to his feet to try to run.
He didn't make three steps before Hana landed on his back, small fists smashing him down into the pavement with such force it cracked the stone.
"My deck," Junior squealed.
"Enough, my son. We must focus on important matters now. Gentlemen," he addressed the two Henches that came with him. "Take this creature to the holding cell with the others. After you've questioned him very thoroughly."
The alien stared bleakly at him.
"You think I will tell you anything, human," he spat.
"I think you will. Or I will give you back to her," the old man pointed out Hana with his cane.
Hana gave the shifter a smile that would have frozen molten steel.
"What do you want to know," he moaned, still feeling those tiny fists in his back, as if they had left craters in his malleable flesh.
"Take him away, gentlemen. Be sure you learn how he got onto the island especially. I would be very interested in that."
"Me, too," Hana agreed. "Because there might be more of them out there."
"Agreed," Bonnie nodded. "So tell us now. Are you alone, or not?"
The alien glanced around him, and swallowed hard.
"I have two…..associates with me. They went to infiltrate the house, and find the Matrix."
"I'm on it," Hana hissed, and raced for the door.
Bonnie frowned.
"Lock this freak up now. The important thing is stopping the others. Where's your transport," she asked, pulling her own weapon, and pointing it at the alien's face.
He glanced away.
Then screamed as Bonnie fired point-blank into his left knee.
"Try again. I'm the impatient sort," she growled as Dr. Director and Will both came running just then, weapons drawn.
"Another one?"
"You didn't see young Miss Stoppable," Senor Senior asked them. "She went back to sweep the house. We have at least two more assassins here to find, and seize the Matrix."
"Will, the house. Go. I'll stay outside, and watch from here."
"And this one was about to tell where his transport is," Bonnie added, her weapon moving to track potential targets.
Wide, orangish eyes rounded, and he all but wailed, "The south beach! I swear! We parked a launch there after we floated in on the tide."
"Where did you come from?"
He eyed Betty's grim scowl, knowing exactly who she was.
"The fleet. We had just lowered our launch when they….vanished. It took us this long to float in, since we were sure a passive approach would get us past your defenses."
"Clever," Betty murmured.
"Too clever. David," he told the Hench who battled the alien at first. "See that we don't overlook that approach again. And do get rid of their craft."
"With pleasure," he growled, eyeing the invader.
"And don't go alone," Bonnie quipped, never taking her own eyes off the invader.
"I'll get Sam," he told her, all of them knowing the man had recovered from his own attack earlier, and was till looking for a little payback.
"Good. We'd better help in the house now. I don't think they'll waste time in the jungle," Bonnie told Betty, "So let's make sure they can't get away. Or do worse."
"Agreed. Senor Senior?"
He smirked, and popped the cap on his thick cane.
"Activating the house's interior defenses now. Anyone not already authorized to be there is about to find a…..chilly reception," he smirked knowingly.
"Let's not count on it, though," Bonnie told him, not holstering her weapon even as they looked up, and saw a body come crashing through a window overhead.
A window they all knew was bulletproof, and double-paned safety glass besides.
It didn't stop the battered, obviously alien body from flying through it to land limp, and nearly lifeless in the pool before them.
"I think Hana found one," Bonnie smirked as one of the two Henches still with them fished the unconscious alien out of the water with a cleaning net. "Guess Ronald wasn't kidding about her."
"At least one more then," Betty was told by the oldest Senior. "I suggest we ensure this fellow didn't lie about the numbers, though."
They all headed for the door, leaving Junior sitting back in his lounger, smiling as he felt the sun on his oiled flesh as he sighed, and closed his eyes as he wondered why anyone cared about running around when it was obvious if someone was about, they would eventually just show themselves anyway.
"Finally. Now I can at last focus on my tan," he sighed happily, content to be left alone just then.

"Dr. Possible," Robbie called out as they flew toward the island. "We have a tail."
James looked over at the man, asking," Can you tell who?"
"I think they're more of those weird alien ships."
"Drew," the lanky scientist shouted. "Weapons."
Drew sat up, looking weary, paler than usual, and showing a bit of his age.
"Again? I thought we were done, Possible," he grumbled.
"Apparently, someone didn't get the memo," James quipped. "How many, Robbie?"
"Four. Coming in fast, too."
Drew sat down into the seat behind the weapons' control.
"So, are we still shooting to wound, or…..?"
The entire rocket suddenly shuddered as something impacted with one side.
"Blow them apart," Robbie howled.
"What he said," James said, and immediately began trying to maneuver away from the four attackers.
"I'm actually starting to miss my coma," Drew moaned, feeling his stomach complain at the sudden G-forces assailing him.
"At least you woke up, Doc," Robbie reminded him, hoping whatever hit them did not hit them again. "If they get us, we won't."
"I'm pretty sure they just want hostages to use against the others," James assured them.
"That makes one of us safe," Drew grimaced, and opened the failsafes on his installed weapony. "But I, for one, am getting tired of this insanity. Shego at her worst was never this bad," he spat, and slammed a fist down on a button.
Instantly, the ship shuddered as he launched the last nine mini-missiles all at once.
"Eat heat-seekers, you annoying pretenders," Drew shouted as the ships behind them began to explode as the missiles locked on, and twisted, and raced after each in turn.
"They're all down," Robbie exclaimed. "You did it, Doc."
"Meh, why sound so surprised," he complained. "I do happen to know my….."
"Two remaining heat seekers just locked onto us," James exclaimed, watching the console. "Drew!"
"Don't look at me!"
"You did program them to ignore their launch vehicle," James demanded.
Drew just blinked, looking lost.
"We were in a hurry," he finally sputtered. "I couldn't be expected to…."
"Never mind," the scientist growled as Robbie howled when he turned the ship to one side in a dizzying spin, barely evading one of the nearer missiles. "Strap in. This is going to be rough."
"I swear, after this, I'm retiring," Robbie shouted as the ship turned, and barely evaded the second missile.
"Drew! Lasers!"
"I'm trying to lock on," he spat back. "But I can't just shoot them this close to us. The blowback would shatter the hull!"
"Not this hull," James shot back.
"Fine. Be it on your head," he said, and fired the lasers in all directions.
For an instant, it seemed that nothing had happened. Then, just a few yards to their starboard side, twin explosions bloomed, and for a moment the men cheered.
Just before the twin concussive waves slammed into the ship, and James had to fight for control.
"See," he grinned a moment later. "No problem. The exoskeleton survived without a problem."
"Then why are we falling," Drew shouted, seeing the sea rushing up at them with alarming speed.
"Because the wave knocked out the engines," James said reasonably.
Drew and Robbie both screamed as they fell toward the unforgiving sea at alarming speed.

"I swear, that girl doesn't have a brain in her head," Shego groaned even as the nearby blonde jumped up, shouting, "I'm going, too! Wait for me, Red!"
Shego didn't even bother to count to anything.
"Everyone else, hold on. I'm sure Kimmie has a…"
"Hey," Kim's voice shouted, reaching her ears from below. "Here I am, guys! Come and get me!" Shego groaned.
"I see her plans are a lot like yours," Mego sniggered.
"Shut up, and go," Shego shouted, jumping up to follow the two other women down even as men began pouring out of a side door that seemed to have just opened up near the main hatch. From one side, two jeeps appeared as if from nowhere, and both carried heavy machine guns mounted in the rear that opened fire as they raced toward Kim.
"Let's take them out," Hego shouted, and saw the flying strongman, his flannel shirt all but shredded by then, speed past them all to fly headlong at one of the vehicles.
Behind them, everyone charged down the slope, headed for the ravine.
"Remember our plan," Electronique told the blue-tinted strongman as she raced alongside him. "My generator still haz enough power to clear a path, but I still need time to work on that door. Ja?"
"You'll have it," Hego promised. "Let's just get down there," he said, and scooped her up in powerful arms, and leapt high into the air, slamming down just a few yards from the main hatch even as Kim, the blonde, and Shego, who had reached them, began taking out the foot soldiers even as the flying man had turned from the first jeep he had just literally torn apart to face the second.
He had to gape, seeing bullets literally bouncing off him like rubber pellets, and he couldn't help but feel a bit envious. Even he could take that kind of firepower without some injury.
"Let's go," he said, focusing on the space before him, and bulling through the few men trying to stop him as he led Electronique toward the apparent main door.
"Watch your backs," Ron shouted, a huge, blue spear suddenly flashing by as it impaled a huge, alien canine like one of those back on the island that had just appeared out of that open side door as the foot soldiers now came with the bizarre animals to unleash them on the charging humans.
The spear flew back to Ron's hands even as the ninja bounded forward, jumped past Hego, and kept going. Behind him, the young ninja girl raced after him, and Hego glanced around before he waved Electronique on, putting himself between her, and any more attackers.
"Go, I'll buy you the time you need," he assured her.
"It iz a pleazure to be working wizz you for a change, darling," she cooed, and loped over to pull open an obvious digital reader of some kind meant to take authorized pass cards only.
Hego shook his head at their unlikely alliance, and then turned to slam a very powerful fist into a canine trying to charge him. The others, he noted, were charging his companions even as a bolt fired, and one of the handlers near the door drawing an aim on Electonique fell with a arrow in his left eye.
"Sorry about that," someone quipped. "I'll check his other eye later!"
Hego ignored the grim humor, and kept pounding anything that turned their way.
"I have it," Electronique cheered as the door clattered loudly, and began to rise.
Until it reached a halfway point, and began to close.
"I had it," she grimaced. "Everyone, inside now, before it closes," she called, and raced inside herself.
"I've got it," Hego shouted, and moved to intercept the door even as it began to drop.
And found it heavier than expected.
He grunted, heaving with all his strength, and finding himself being inexorably pushed to his knees.
"Hold on," someone called, and then the flying man was there, straining beside him as super powered muscle shoved up, and they could hear straining hydraulics, and whining gears as something began to smoke, and spark inside.
"Move," Kim shouted, and raced past them, tumbling to better fit between the space as she charged heedlessly into the dark corridor beyond.
And ran right into an army.
One that all pointed their weapons right at Kim Possible.
"Possible," one of the aliens in military uniform hissed. "I knew we should have eliminated you from the start."
"Here's your chance," she said tauntingly, and stepped forward.
Even as something thundered, and shook the very caverns around them.
Kim smiled.
"Right on time, Tweebs," she said, and no one with her didn't misunderstand.
"Okay, guys," Kim called to her group. "Now, all we have to do is shut them down!"
The humans poured under the half open hydraulic gate, and the soldiers opened fire. For a moment it seemed they were about cut down the defenders with a devastating barrage. Until a blue wall shimmered before them, and Kim's expended force field bounced off most of the firepower in other directions.
Then Electronique's electric gauntlets flashed. Followed by Shego's distinctive plasma. Then, Hego gaped as the flying man, already proving himself far his superior, simply stared at the enemy, and their weapons began melting.
"Good God," he exclaimed. "What can't you do?"
"More than you would think," the young man said grimly. "Let's go," he said, and shoved away from the gate once everyone was inside.
The malfunctioning gate slammed down with a thunderous, booming echo when Hego followed, but by then everyone was rushing the confused soldiers who had expected to have cut down most of the human by then.
"Muscles," the archer shouted. "You and your Hercules twin flank us! Stoppable, lead the charge up the middle, and we'll follow."
"Good plan," Kim called back. "But if anyone sees anything critical along the way, feel free to stop and break it!"
"Oooooo, I love breaking things," the blonde cackled, still swinging the axe she had acquired sometime back.
"Who are you," Hego exclaimed, wondering if the skinny girl wasn't genuinely insane.
"Nobody you wanna know, big guy," she taunted, and stuck her tongue out at him. Right before she slammed the axe into the groin of someone in front of her.
Every man there cringed.
"Next," she shouted, and ran forward.
"I'm glad she's on our side," Mego shuddered.
"Ze labz are zhis way," Electronique pointed.
"How do you know," Hego demanded.
"I waz held here for a time," the woman told him. "Zhey may ztill have ozher hoztagez. We muzt make zure they are not uzed against uz!"
"Hostages? Prisoners? Like us? Lead the way, light bulb," the blonde demanded. "I'm still looking for someone."
Hego found that astonishing, but realized that to go those labs meant turning away from the main power lines that led them to whatever was ahead.
"We split here," Kim said. "Farmboy, Archer, take half our people, and go that way. Break everything. Shego, Hego. You're with me. We'll make sure the labs are shut down, and they aren't holding any more people."
Kim turned to ask Ron what he thought, but the monkey ninja was gone now. So was Yori. She shrugged, guessing he had his own plan, and kept going.
"Sounds like a plan," the flying man nodded, and turned down the tunnel before them without hesitating.
"Hey," the blonde shrieked, and backpedaled out of a side lab when she ran into it. A huge canine padded after her. "Red! My Red is in here! Get her out, Red, and she can really even the sides. Trust me!"
Hego ran forward, knocking the canine out of the way, and then knocked it witless.
"Keep going," Kim shouted at those behind her. "Spread out, and do all the damage you can. But stay in at least groups of three," she instructed them before she vanished into the lab. She, Hego, and Shego followed the blonde into a small cyro lab where a very green figure floated in a slushy fluid.
The blonde stood before the tank as Shego and Kim came up behind her, her free hand reaching out to press to the super-cooled glass.
"You gotta get her out. She'll behave," she told Kim. "Honest. She's a good girl! Like me," the blonde smiled a bit feverishly.
"You sure can pick ''em, Princess," Shego muttered as Kim eyed the redhead in the tank. "Gotta love her color scheme, but I thought we were the only ones hit by a comet, though."
"Red's not a freak," the blonde huffed. "She's a real smart, sciency type," the blonde all but cooed, her eyes not ever leaving the figure in the tube.
"Kimmie?"
"I think I know her. And if it is her, we can use her help. She's probably one of the most powerful women on the planet. Next to you."
"Hmmph," the blonde huffed as Kim went to a nearby console, and quickly worked the controls, and the sound of something hissing filled the air even as the tube began to thaw, and simultaneously empty.
The tube wasn't halfway empty before the green-skinned redhead, now slumping in the tube to her knees, suddenly stood upright, and stared out at them with eyes literally glowing with energies.
And rage.
The blonde barely jumped out of the way as the tube exploded, and a forest of thorny vines seemed to erupt right from the redhead's hands, and up out of the ground as they shattered anything, and everything around them.
"Where," the redhead seethed, heedless of her near nudity as she stepped out of the residual, super cooled fluids. "Where are those vermin? Someone is going to die for this indignity!"
"That's my Red," the blonde cheered, and beamed up at her.
"Oh, boy," Shego muttered as the redhead turned imperious eyes upon them, and demanded, "Who dies first?"
To Be Continued…
