A/N: To commemorate the new "Gravity Falls" premiere tomorrow, I thought it would be best to make an update to a story involving another book of secrets. Just what will Drakken discover in his new reading material? We'll find out.

I.

It was another day at Go City University for the students there. That, of course, included Kim and Ron. Kim still couldn't believe the good fortune she and Ron had received when they found out that Ron was accepted to the same college as Kim. Still, Kim wasn't complaining and was just happy with the way things turned out.

Eventually, the day came to an end and soon found Kim and Ron coming out of their last class of the day. As they walked out of the lecture hall, they were in conference with the tech guru of Team Possible.

"Still no lead on Drakken's whereabouts, Wade?" Kim spoke into the watch-like device on her wrist.

"It's difficult" the twelve year old replied. "I still don't have a hard fix on his trajectory after he got away from you".

"Keep searching." Kim said as she and Ron walked across the campus "After that last failure, he might be bawling in hiding for a few days."

"I'm on it" Wade said before the Kimmunicator winked out.

With a sigh, Kim lowered her arm from her face while she and Ron walked along the grounds of their campus. "Well, we probably won't be hearing from Drakken till he comes up with a new take over the world scheme, and based on our last encounter with him, it might be a while."

"You know, I've been thinking KP" Ron commented as they walked. "Do you think maybe we were a little hard on Drakken? I mean, we really got to him on that last mission. Our comments to him may have been a little too harsh."

"Ron, what we said to him was the honest truth" Kim said with a shake of her head. "He has been growing stale since the night of the Junior Prom. I'm surprised Shego hasn't given him heck about that by now. If he's too sensitive to accept the cold hard truth, that's his problem."

"Still, what if our calling him out drives him to improve?" Ron inquired. "Our next run-in with him might be a very ambitious plan."

A laugh caught the ears of the pair and they looked down to see Rufus laughing up a storm at Ron's comment.

"Oh yeah" the mole rat squeaked sarcastically in between chortles. "BIG trouble!"

"Hey, whose side are you on?" Ron demanded the rodent.

"Rufus is right, Ron" Kim said as she lead him to her on-campus dorm "I think you're giving Drakken way too much credit. I mean, we are talking about a supervillain whose last lair had a voice lock that was keyed to 'Open Sesame'".

The memory of how they got into Drakken's lair on the last mission caused Rufus to go into another giggle fit. Ignoring his pet's laughing, Ron continued his conversation with Kim.

"Well, don't forget, he's got those mutagenic plant powers now" he pointed out.

"And yet he hasn't been using them as well as he did when we fought Warhak and Warmonga since then" Kim commented flatly as they reached the building. "Ron, face it. The day Drakken become a dangerous threat is the day it really is the end of the world".

"Well, yeah" Ron said offhandedly as he followed his girlfriend into the building. "I mean, if Drakken succeeds in taking over the world, then it will be coming to an end".

Kim rolled her eyes at Ron making a literal sense of her metaphor but said nothing as she lead him up the stairs to her room.

Upon entering Kim's dorm, the pair found Kim's roommate Lynn Coherent working at a desk.

"Hey, Roomie" the brunette said happily as she looked up from her studies.

"Hi, Lynn" Kim replied with a smile. Kim and Lynn had been getting along quite well since their first day in the dorm. "How's your work coming?"

"Ugh, tough" Lynn groused. "It's like this stuff was written in another language. Oh, wait. It is!"

Lynn was majoring in learning all foreign languages, with her desire to become a linguist as her drive.

"Oy" Kim shook her head at her roommate's joke. "Lynn, your jokes are almost as bad as Ron's."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ron cried defensively.

Kim and Lynn ignored the question and continued talking. "Since your boyfriend is up here, I take it that you've got a free night tonight" Lynn pointed out.

"Yeah" Kim said as she hugged Ron's arm. "My last class was an easy one so I don't have any projects to do tonight, so I thought Ron and I would come back for some quality time together."

"In that case" Lynn said as she grabbed her books and got up from her chair. "I'm heading down to the library to continue studying so you and your guy can be alone and I won't be distracted by the fact that I don't have a boyfriend from looking at you two make out".

Kim turned red from Lynn's comment but let it slide. "Thanks, Lynn. I'll let you know when Ron leaves".

"Just don't hog the room all night, Kim" Lynn said with a wink as she opened the door. "I've got a big mid-term tomorrow and I need the sleep". With that, she was gone.

Shaking his head playfully, Ron looked to his girlfriend. "Man, that Lynn has quite a sense of humor".

"Yeah" Kim said flatly "But try dealing with it every night". Deciding to change the subject, she sat down on the couch and motioned for Ron to do the same before grabbing the remote to the television. "So, what movie do you want to watch?"

Beep-Beep-Be-Beep

"How about 'Mission Time'?" Ron groaned as Kim reluctantly turned on the Kimmunicator.

"Wade, this better be important" the redheaded heroine said. "You know I get grumpy when you interrupt my 'Ronshine' moments".

"Sorry, Kim" Wade said apologetically "But I had to call to say that I have an update on Drakken".

"You found where's he hiding?" Kim asked.

"No, he's on the move to a top secret lab in Oregon" Wade replied.

"Wait, he's launching a new plan already?" Kim asked with a raised eyebrow. "It doesn't usually take this quick for him to come up with another scheme".

"Maybe inspiration struck him during his last escape" Ron offered.

"Yeah, well something else is going to strike him" Kim said as she switched into Mission Mode. "Thanks, Wade. We're on it". As she and Ron headed into her room to get their mission gear, Kim said into the Kimmunicator "Oh, can you also call Lynn to tell her she can have the room back?"

II.

Getting into the lab was easy for Drakken and Shego. Using a controlled pulse of her glow power to the forehead, Shego was able to knock out the guards. After that, it was simply a matter of bypassing the security system, which Shego insisted Drakken wait to go through after disabling it this time. Eventually, they found their way into the main vault where the most sensitive technical equipment was stored. After showing a look of mad glee, like a child at Christmas, Drakken began swiping random pieces of tech and stuffing them into a large sack.

"Is this necessary, Dr. D?" Shego groused "You know there's a chance that Miss Priss will show up".

"That's what I'm counting on, Shego" Drakken muttered as he went through a drawer of microchips "If we're going to use what I've found, this experiment is essential".

"Still, do you really need all this stuff?"

"Absolutely, Shego" Drakken confirmed with a nod "If my hypothesis is correct, what I'll be doing is going to require every piece of technology I get here".

"Then I guess we better put a stop to your shopping spree".

Without even flinching, Drakken just smirked and turned to the pair standing in the doorway. "I'd like to see you try that".

"What no shouting 'Kim Possible?!' in surprise?" Ron asked.

Drakken continued to smirk before shrugging. "I've come to realize that no matter what I do, you two will keep showing up to get in my way".

"Good for you, Drakken" Kim said firmly. "It seems you've finally figured out that I'll always be there to thwart you".

"Just like I'll always be there to do this!'

Whirling to the side, Kim and Ron saw a flash of green energy come at them. Quickly, they leaped in opposite directions, leaving the blast to strike the ground where they were standing.

"We've got to stop meeting like this" Kim addressed the villainess with glowing green hands.

"If that's the way you want it, then I'm game!" Shego cried before jumping at Kim, initiating another fight between the two women.

While Kim brawled it out with Shego, Ron ran up to Drakken and grabbed his bag full of stolen devices.

"Sorry, but your shopper's card has expired" the blonde joked as he attempted to pull the bag out of the blue villain's grasp.

"I'll show you what's about to expire!" Drakken sneered as a vine appeared out of the neck of his coat and shot itself into Ron's stomach, sending him flying into a wall while Drakken continued his looting.

Meanwhile, Kim and Shego were continuing their fight.

"Don't you two have a normal date night?" Kim quipped as she dodged a sweep kick from her opponent.

"What?" Shego retaliated defensively as she blocked a karate chop from Kim "This is how we usually do a night on the town. It's no different than how you and your boy toy spend your night".

"Except we'd prefer to spend them without villainous interferences!" Kim shot back as she got around Shego's defenses and delivered a punch to her stomach.

At the same time, Drakken was trying to fit the last piece of tech he was after, a giant motherboard, into his bag. Unfortunately, he found himself playing a game of 'Guess Who' as a pair of hands clapped over his eyes.

"Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil!" Ron joked before grimacing. "Eww, can't believe I just used a 'Three Wise Monkeys' reference".

Having had enough of Ron's interference, Drakken's vine grabbed him by the ankle and hurled him towards the fight between Kim and Shego.

"Shego! Would you please keep that annoying partner out of my hair?!" He cried.

"Oh, like I don't have my hands full enough" Shego sighed, now having to deal with both Kim and Ron.

While Kim and Ron were distracted by the fight with Shego, Drakken was stuffing the last of his objectives into his bag. He then decided it was time to begin the real action as a sinister grin appeared on his face. Reaching into his coat, he pulled out a strange, small silver-and-blue cube. Without raising suspicion, the blue villain tossed the cube into the center of the room.

"Shego, NOW!" he shouted.

Before Kim and Ron could comprehend what was going on, there was a loud crash as they turned to see a giant, familiar looking robot busting through the wall of the vault.

"A Diablo?!" Ron cried in shock.

Before Kim and Ron knew it, there was a series of crashes, causing them to look to see five other giant Diablo bots bursting in through all sides.

Shocked, Kim whirled to where Drakken was standing with a maniacal gleam on his face. "How did you manage to revive those things?!" She demanded.

"That's my little secret" Drakken answered cryptically. "The point is, however, that you've fallen right into my trap and my Diablos will finally dispose of you! HAHAHAHAHA!"

"Is it really necessary for you to go into exposition every time?" Shego muttered.

Drakken sneered but let it slide before commanding the Diablos. "Eliminate them, Boys!"

Obeying Drakken's command, the nearest Diablo deployed its plasma cannon and fired at Kim and Ron, who dove to the side as it blasted apart a workbench.

"I thought we were done with these things!" Ron groaned.

"So did I" Kim said before turning to her boyfriend with a smirk. "But this time, we have a few new surprises, don't we?"

Getting what Kim was implying, Ron braced himself to call on the full strength of his MMP. However, this didn't go unnoticed by Drakken.

"Don't let that fool power up!" he shouted.

In a flash, one of the Diablos produced a buzzsaw and brought it down where Ron was standing, forcing him to abandon his concentration stance and jump back.

"Squealer!" he cried to Drakken, only to look behind him to see another Diablo who had glowing eyes leering down on him. In a flash, he took off before a pair of laser eye beams hit him. The robot then chased after him, firing plasma blasts as it went.

Meanwhile, Kim was doing her best to avoid a couple more Diablos which were using a lightning gun and a flamethrower. The lightning throwing one fired a bolt which Kim ducked as it barbecued a computer console. Unfortunately, the Diablo with the flamethrower aimed low and set the floor on fire, forcing Kim to jump up and grab a beam on the ceiling. At that moment, a third Diablo appeared and began firing plasma blasts upward, blowing holes in the ceiling.

This gave Kim an idea.

"Is that really the best you bots can do?" Kim mocked them. "I guess you've lost your edge since the night of the Junior Prom".

As if they took offense to remark, the three Diablos all fired their plasma cannons at Kim, just as she jumped down to ground, leaving the blasts to strike the ceiling, causing it to crumble and collapse on top of the three robots.

"Perhaps Drakken should've had Dr. Fergerson give them artificial intelligence" Kim thought outloud.

"KIIIM!" a cry caught her attention as she turned to see Ron still dealing with the Diablo on his tail. Without a chance to focus his MMP, Ron couldn't call upon its full might. Quickly, Kim came to his aid by jumping into the Diablo's line of sight.

"Hey!" she shouted at the robot. "Trying hitting this moving target!"

Baring all its weaponry down on her, the Diablo open fired, only for Kim to fire her grappling hook and swing out of the way of the barrage. Just as she was landing, however, she noticed the three Diablos she had dropped the ceiling on had crawled out and joined the other three in surrounding her.

However, Kim was not worried. At that moment, a blue glow off to the side erupted, causing all heads except for Kim to turn to the source. Sure enough, Kim's diversion had given Ron enough time to unleash his full MMP. A determined grin on his face, he leaped upward to throw a punch to the nearest Diablo…

…only to pass right through it.

"Wha?" Ron cried in confusion as he landed beside Kim, who was equally perplexed. "How did it do that?"

Taking a chance, Kim approached the Diablo and reached out to touch, causing her hand to slip through it.

"They're holograms!" she cried.

"What?" Ron asked in confusion. "How could holograms break through solid walls?"

"They can't" Kim replied before her eyes went wide with realization. "Which means this is all a hologram!"

Off to the side, they saw Drakken, or at least what looked like Drakken laughing madly.

"Very astute, Kim Possible!" The image of Drakken said. "I wish I could be there in person to see the looks on your faces over this trick, but I have a world to conquer! And this time, not even you can stop me! Farewell, Kim Possible!"

With that, a wave of blue light swirled from the ceiling down to the floor, taking with it the holograms of Drakken, Shego, the Diablos, and the illusions of the damage caused by the battle with the Diablos.

Once the room-wide illusion had been disbursed, Kim and Ron looked around to see that, sure enough, Drakken and Shego had escaped in the ruckus.

"Great, they got away. Again" Kim groaned.

"How do you think Drakken pulled that illusion off?" Ron asked.

While Kim and Ron were looking around for clues, the cube that Drakken had tossed out during the battle was pulling in the last bits of the blue glow that generated the holograms. Its work down, the cube began to glow brightly.

'KA-PHOOEY!'

In a shock, Kim and Ron whirled around to the sound of an explosion behind them, only to see a black smudge on the ground and a wisp of smoking rising upward.

"What was that about?" Ron asked, a little startled from the unexpected boom.

"I'd say whatever just exploded was how Drakken made those holograms" Kim said before walking over to the black stain on the floor. Unfortunately, despite Kim's best efforts, there wasn't a trace of the mysterious device left to be found. "Terrific" the redhead grumbled. "Without a piece to analyze, we don't even know what that thing was, let alone where Drakken got it or what his game is".

"Still think I'm giving him too much credit?" Ron couldn't help but inquire, earning a glare and growl from his girlfriend in return.

III.

"That was an excellent test!" Drakken was crooning as he and Shego entered their lair, dropping the sack full of stolen electronics on a table. "The Mirage Synthesizer worked perfectly! And best of all, since I was able to make a tiny alteration to include a self destruct mechanism, there's no trace for Kim Possible to figure out how it worked!"

"About time you used that feature the smart way" Shego commented.

Still giddy, Drakken went over to the desk where the Secrets of Atlantis book he had found in Monkey Fist's manor was and picked it up into a hug. "And it's all thanks to this wonderful little gift that the forces of evil have granted me!"

"One thing I don't get. Of all the stuff in that book, why'd you pick that dingy little cube as the first thing to make?" Shego inquired.

"I wanted to start out small, Shego" Drakken explained. "To be sure that it was possible for Atlantean tech to be fashioned from modern day equipment". An excited look appearing on his face, he began leafing through the book to look at the numerous illustrations of Atlantis's inventions "And now that I have, this is just the beginning! I have complete access to any potential doomsday weapon in this book! The possibilities are infinite!"

"Yeah, well, don't get carried away, Dr. D" Shego advised. "I mean, even though you've got info on some pretty impressive tech there, it won't mean anything if you don't use it wisely".

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about that, Shego" Drakken said confidently as he held up the book in his hands, which appeared to be glowing eerily "Rest assured, with the power of Atlantis at my disposal, this time the world will finally be mine!"

Then, much to Shego's surprise, Drakken let out the most fiendish, diabolical, and downright terrifying cackle she ever heard from him.

TBC…

A/N: How about that, huh? After years of Drakken underestimating Kim, now the shoe's on the other foot, and it seems to be working in Drakken's favor at the moment. What does Drakken have planned for the technological Atlantean secrets he's discovered? Keep an eye out and you'll find out!
