okay. to cover some stuff that might be confusing.
KP = Anna Goebles
Shego = in my version her real name is Xia Goebles. She just went back to it after she and Kim faked their deaths to elope.
Jamie and Ronnie, KP and Shego's daughters.
Ron and Yori doing their ninja thing being secretive and dececeptive.
They have an issue with the yakuza faction(s) Shinji belongs to.
Shinji "Dearest" Kanaan, Xia's old friend. is she what she seems to be? She is the oldest one in a set of three. Yuki is a model/photographer called Love. Mika is better known as an author. has a strong view on family.
Yakamoura Family:
Yuri, eldest and in charge of Yakamoura family. only mentioned so far.
Peng-Sou, eldest son. named after his father's best friend. usually with Yuri as he acts as a balance to her intensity. will play a part later.
The man who flew in with them is Rama Quinn. He is the second oldest brother, and a half sibling. He carries his mother's maiden name.
Yen, the pilot. His twin brother Fuku races bikes. Youngest of the siblings.
Anyone wondering why Camile is playing the role of Xia while Shego and the girls are missing? That's to calm the citizens of the island. I dont want to write in how she went back to play the part and keep moral up.
Where are Wade and Jazzy? Is Mo really dead?
Why am i asking you? I dunno.
here we go!
.
Kim stomped up into the plane and sat on the nearest bench.
She needed to think.
"Okay, Kim. What do you know? I know that someone has my wife and kids." She tensed but managed to control her breathing. "I don't care about what Yamanuchi or whaterver the hell Dearest has done. I just feel that I can't trust them." She thought about the situation and how ironic it was. The girl who could do anything could not find her family or trust the only help she had.
"Nonono!" she hurried to the cockpit and grabbed the old Kimmunicator. "I've got Wade! Wade might be offline but this thing will find him!"
She booted the old device up, activated Wade's mobile com and waited. Suddenly a large black man filled the screen. "Excuse me, but this is a no tech zone." To her surprise the screen was quickly turned off. She did recognize the tattoo. Ron had pointed it out before.
Kim raced out of the jet and in the direction of a certain Japanese American. Shinji was finishing up on the phone, just as she threw her phone in a rage, Kim tackled her. They rolled until she realised it was Kim. she quit fighting and let the redhead pin her.
"You have a connection to Club 4 4." She said as a matter of fact.
"Duh. I bounce there. My family owns it." Shinji shrugged as best she could. "Care to tell me why I'm bruised and lying in the dirt?"
"Wade never leaves the old com behind. So, I used mine and remotely turned his on. I saw a large black man with a 4 4 club tattoo! Where is wade?"
"Let me see that thing." Shinji stated. Kim shook her head. "Then at least turn it on again."
Kim figured it wouldn't hurt. Again the screen turned on. This was a smaller room. More like an elevator. The man from before was against the door and immediately told Wade about the device.
"Effron? That you my man?" Shinji called. she couldn't see his face from the device's angle.
"Boss?" Effron asked confused. From his movements you could tell he was looking for the source of her voice. "This ain't that magic shit again is it?"
"Dearest, thank God!" Wade's face came on the screen. "They did it, Dearest! They got inside and they..." He started sobbing. "She... Monique..."
"Is being transferred to Upperton along with Dr. Possible. I just found out and had an old friend arrange it." She looked away from the screen. "Wade. I have a confession to make." She looked ashamed. Kim's ears perked up.
"Dearest? It's okay. Tell me." He said still feeling the weight on his soul fade some, but the guilt remained. He had left his wife for dead, not dead as he had thought.
"First, do you know who we are looking for?" He shook his head yes. "Explain." She said as if giving a command to a robot.
"Island princesses, one of the queens of the island is also missing. Ron filled me in earlier before all of this."
"So this will be a bit of a happy surprise." She turned the Kimmunicator to show Kim's face. He heard Dearest add. "Sorry I couldn't tell you."
"Hey, Kim." He waved, still surprised.
"Wade, what happened?" Kim asked in horror at his appearance.
"Ask Hirotaka of Yamanouchi!" He answered darkly. "Kim, you ca-" The Kimmunicator burst into pieces and some embedded in Kim's hand and arm while Shinji felt a few pieces sink into her own arm. She pulled Kim over and shielded her. Her eyes scanned the area but she didn't hear a report.
Ron was yelling like a panicked tourist on a sinking cruise ship. "Sniper! Keep your head down!" He repeated a few times.
"I know that, dumb fuck! Shaddup so I can hear the damn thing!" Dearest hollered.
Two hours later there hadn't been a shot in fifteen minutes. Shinji had been walking around and trying to convince Ron to get up. Yori had been grazed, she sat with Ron in a shallow hole and repeated a set of excuses as to why they should stay.
"I'm on full display and I haven't been shot. Sniper is gone and I'm not sticking around for them to get back from the store with more ammo!" She walked away grumbling about the stupid ninja.
Three hours later and way behind schedule, they finished exploring a small holding facility. Nothing special and yet it had all the necessary things to run a small lab and keep at least thirty personnel.
"Well fuck me." Dearest said with dissapointed frustration.
"Another dead end." Ron said leaning against the wall.
"Right. How convenient. What are you going to tell Kim, Buh-ro?"
"First off, bitch, I am not your bro or anything else along that train of thought." Ron said with bravado and malice. "Secondly, you're all alone with the two of us in here. it would be so easy for me or Yori to not save you in time from the security devices they have around here. Kim, out there in the plane talking to Wade, she'd have to believe us. I mean, she doesn't trust you, she doesn't care about you, she doesn't like you. She wouldn't ask too many questions." He was quite smug, and gave a wink to Yori who seemed amused with the little speech.
"I'm not a child, Ron. You two won't be taking my candy." She gave Ron a harsh pat on the cheek and left.
When Ron and Yori left the complex, if you could call five rooms and a hallway a complex, it was getting dark again.
Shinji was smoking a joint and drinking a beer. "Have fun?" She gave a wink. "Unless you two were getting rid of evidence." She chuckled.
Ron and Yori ignored her remark, instead boarding the plane for the last time. "Great, just what we need. An intoxicated demon."
Ron heard Kim talking and headed to the door to listen in. Ron a had just missed it. He heard Kim coming out and made himself busy with the fridge. Good thing he really was hungry, but he forgot quickly about his curiosity in favor of his stomach.
"Our next spot is outside of A-51." Kim did a double take at the paper she had. "Area 51. great! we can't even fly this thing near there without getting shot down!"
"Leave that to me, Kim." Shinji said boarding the plane and hitting the button to close the cargo hatch while she passed it. "Get us in the air and I'll handle it."
"Are you crazy?" Ron asked. On the few missions he remembered when near that place, only one he had ever flown in, and that was with triplicate forms, in triplicate.
Dearest must have taken the question seriously because she answered. "I haven't got my test results back yet, but if they're letting me walk around free, then it can't be too bad. Right?" It unnerved the other three with how sincere her words sounded.

The plane radio broke the silence. "Unidentified aircraft you are entering into military air space. You have thirty seconds to alter your course."
Shinji took the radio. "Control, this is call sign Delta Echo Alpha Romeo. I'm calling in procedure override and that you make room on the tarmac for a VTOL aircraft ASAP."
There was a few seconds of silence. "You are clear for landing on airstrip one."
0246810121416182022242628303234
The humvee pulled to a stop about a half mile out of 51's security perimeter.
Unlike the last few stops, this one showed promise.
"Well, I think KP and I should go in all old school and do it like we used to!" Ron said with his usual enthusiasm.
"I believe that we should both go, Kim can stay here with the vehicle. Yori provided the suggestion.
Unknown to the two ninja, Kim had already went ahead with her own plan, leaving Ron and Yori to stop their discussion.
As the three, Kim, Ron and Yori found the vent shaft a little way from the outpost,
Shinji chose instead to take the direct approach and went to the side door.
There, a rookie looking guard stood trying her best to look intimidating.
"Hi." Shinji leaned against the wall next to her. "You're pretty!" The guard was a bit surprised with the sudden appearance of the other woman.
"Identification!" She ordered with a slight waver in her tone and hitching up on her rifle.
"I don't need any. I can get in this place no problemb. Question is, am I allowed in your pants?" She smiled wryly and licked her eyebrow.
The guard's eyes widened a bit and she looked away with a blush. "I'm not, i've never."
"Ever been curious?" Shinji asked only to see the younger woman's face darken. after a minute she gave a small nod.
"I don't kiss and tell." Shinji added with a sincere and playful tone. the guard looked to be in conflict with herself for a minute. Shinji shrugged. "Okay, well, i guess i wasted my break with that." she sounded disappointed and turned to walk away. a hand gripped her arm. Shinji smiled to herself and turned.
the guard looked at the ground and shyly asked. "Promise you w-won't tell a soul?"
At the vent, Kim pretended to drop something and allowed Ron then Yori to go ahead. Normally she would have went first but the ideas that had been going through her head made her cautious of her own friends.
"Seriously, I don't mind the view, what little i can see, and crawling throught the vents makes me feel younger but i am seriously concerned about where that woman went." Ron voiced after a sneeze.
"I agree. She could give away our plans." Yori paused as she approached a grate. Two men below were around a coffee machine and another was in the room but out of view. The three were making sexual gestures and teying to keep quiet. Yori watched until they left the room, closing the door behind them.
Yori gave the okay and they dropped down.
Just as they dropped from the vent, a bored voice came from a partially open supply closet. "Took you long enough." A few uniforms were handed out. Ron went to peek in but the door closed on him. "Shame on you!" Some of us aren't decent!" Came from within.
He blushed then looked mad. "I've seen you naked! This is stupid!"
The door opened and Shinji stepped out, followed by a drunk looking woman. She leaned on the demon for support and wore a goofy smile. Yori and Kim both smirked knowingly but Ron was back on guard. "I knew it, you're with them!"
"Keep it down, dork!" Shinji hissed.
"This is Creston. She just got transferred in." Creston waved from behind Shinji. "Tell them what you told me, darlin'."
"The last location had a meltdown or something. A lot of personnel were innured or didn't make it and they had to relocate." She took a breath. "That's why we have the newbies and lower lever agents like myself. Anyway. When I got transferred here, I saw a woman who looked a little green strapped to a gurney. She looked like that Shego woman." Kim's eyes widened and she felt hope for the first time. "I have heard about two packages, and feeding them. Something about crossing the pond and werst."
Ron and Yori acted like they would pounce on the younger woman. Shinji stepped in front of her. "Tell them what else."
Creston shook in fear a moment at the ninja. "The level below us. A green light filled the elevator and several of the guards were killed. They just finished with removing the bodies and wounded. Most of them do not look GJ, considering the gear they wore"
The three other heros looked more than surprised. "I knew it, Betty found out you're alive and she took Shego to get you to join!" Ron pounded his hand into his fist as if ready for a fight.
"Haven't you heard?" Creston asked. "Well, probably not. it has been kept quiet." She put a finger to her lip, obviously nervous.
"Heard what?" Kim asked, placing her hands softly on Creston's shoulders.
"Doctor Director was in an accident earlier this week. She's been in a coma ever since. That's also around the time those scary guys showed up and started giving orders. I don't like them, and a few female agents have resigned or have gone missing to add to it."
"More than one mystery here." Ron stroked his chin. "Maybe they are trying to give these agents plasma power like Shego!"
"Okay, Creston. You head out where i told you. I'll take them down to the personnel office. Thank's for the info and you take off if we're not back by the time i told you."
Creston nodded. "Right." She nodded and then gave Kim a hug. "Good luck with getting your family back." With that the GJ agent was gone.
"What exactly did you tell her?" Ron questioned.
"The truth, Ron." She said walking from the room. "Not everything is complicated."
Kim, still torn, followed leaving Ron and Yori no choice but to follow.
Down the hall a few minutes later.
"Why exatly are we in the personnel office?" Ron asked taking a soda from a mini fridge.
Shinji was busy at a desk. "The place is short staffed. So, we have time to get the proper paperwork. Also, GJ regulations state that lower level agents can accompany superiors." She went to them and handed out the cards.
"C'mon, level one!" Ron griped.
"Can it, peon." She shoved a briefcase in his hand. "Look official and keep your mouth shut! Yori, just look stuck up as usual and keep your hand by that gun."
"With you around, my hand will always be close to my gun." Yori smirked and narrowed her eyes at Shinji. "That will not be a problem."
"Kim, you fit the part already. Put these on. Bark your orders if needed."
"I don't need a coach for that." Kim replied.
"Why is she in charge?" Ron pouted.
"I don't know Ron. I can't trust her, but my gut says go with this." Kim said. She was still reeling with emotions. Her whole life had been turned upside down and she thought she could handle it. "Let's go!" She ordered aftee reaching deep inside to find some of her old comfidence.
Shinji's little act got them into the cells below. Many had been converted into hospital and lab rooms. Everywhere there were scientists and each had at least two guards. Most of the scientists looked like prisoners themselves. All of the guards down here looked like well seasoned pros.
Shinji led the way with Kim strolling behind taking in the sights. A tall man with blonde hair stopped them. "Identifications. "
Shinji handed him her ID. "I hate protocol. Waste of my time." She said in a bored manner that said she did this quite often.
He then checked Yori and Ron's ID cards. Ron's failed to scan the first few rimes and he was starting to sweat. "You look nervous, small fry."
"I heard... that the last guy he was dropped in a vat of hot oil or some thing... like that. And then they found out his card was de... that thing with the magnets."
"Demagnetized?" The guard asked and Ron nodded. "I hate when that happens.
He went for Kim's card and Shinji sropped him, breaking character.
"Over your pay grade, trust me. Just let her work, bro." She tapped her nose at the scar across it.
He nodded in understanding and allowed them to carry on.
"You did that on purpose!" Ron started.
"Stop it, Ron. We'll talk about this later." Kim sounded like a mom scolding her child.
And why didn't you let him scan Kim's card?" Ron was determined to get answers, until an acrid smell hit them.
As they approached the middle of the level, some of the cells had cylinders filled with goop. "Cloning chambers." Kim and Ron both said in a hushed tone. they had seen enough. as they proceeded, some chambers had subjects in them, and across the hall, lifeless copies of Kim's beloved. Some were in states of being disceted.
Kim had nightmares about this sort of thing. She fought back the tears.
Farther back, they found some of the missing female agents. Some were chained to the wall, some lay just as still as the clones. a few cowered, they hadn't been there that long and could still move.
then a voice Kim knew. "Help me!" it pleaded weakly.
"Janet?" Kim hurried to the door. it was Janet.
the woman had replaced Will Du as Dr. Director's right hand after will accepted a job in the South America region. Janet had bruises and cuts all over and she was dressed in a shredded uniform shirt. a milky liquid with a pink tinge and a red streak ran down her inner leg and evidence that it had been done before was staining her bed.
"Help me!" she pleaded again.
"We have to." Kim's voice trembled. "I don't need to be told about what happened here."
"I agree. But we will have to find your wife first. Unless you want a manhunt going on while we do it." Shinji said that with a bit of a struggle. Truth is, she wanted to kill everyone in the place to save these women. she could see it in Kim's eyes too.
"Janet," Kim said softly. "I need to find my wifewife, then, if we have her or not we are all leaving this place. Just, hang on!"
Janet wept, but shook her head in understanding. "Last room on the left. They keep it locked tight. Nobody has a key except..." Janet's soft snoring filled the hall along with the weeping and groans of the women.
In the distance of the complex a siren sounded. "That's fifty-one. If we can hear it, there must be a vent around here. A back exit."
Don't forget to let me know what you think.
Next chapter, Cat and Mice. then i think i'll backtrack and add in some missing pieces and treats, like what Shinji and Creston did in the supply closet.
I need to watch some KP to help get me get kim back in character...
