Chapter 50 – Battle of the Rockwallerium (Best New Author and Best Young Author)

(10:30pm)

Ubel opened up the tunnel door to the lab.

"Shego! We're in the lab!" he exclaimed before Shego hushed him. "Let's steal it now!"

"What do we do before we make a sound?" Shego whispered.

"We make a strategy first?" Drakken replied in a much lower voice.

"Correct, Mr. D." Shego sarcastically said. "Here's the plan. The Killer B's will capture the scientists while you and I will take the McGuffianium from that machine over there!'

"It's Rockwallerium, Shego!" Ubel uttered.

"Whatever!" Shego replied with some hint of sarcasm.

He was pointing to the stone carving machine right in the middle of the lab.

"But what about our means..." KB One asked.

"...of escape?" KB Two finished the sentence.

"We're going to call out my car." Shego replied, "I can self-control the vehicle from here using this!" She held out a remote control that had a camera on it.

"We'll load the element into Shego's vehicle and boom, we'll be back in 2000 before you know it! And Kim Possible will not be able to stop this evil plan this time!" Ubel chuckled with delight, "Deviotix will be pleased...but time is of the essence! We have to get back at the stroke of midnight!" He then got a message from one of Deviotix's higher-up. They shaved off a half-hour from the deadline. "Scratch that...11:30!"

Once "Margaritaville" gave off its last tropical tunes, Sharper returned once more to the stage.

"And welcome back to our next segment of the 12th Annual KP Fannies. Our next two awards are kind of related in a way. They represent the new and young generation of Kim Possible writers destined to continue the traditions that we have set for them. With that being said, I welcome Mr. Joshua Mankey, the renowned KP writer Eddy13 and the KP Deviantart fanartist, Wolfandlionpower, or Wolfy for short!"

Wolfie and Eddy followed behind Josh as they approached on stage.

"Didn't expect to be up here to present two awards" Eddy13 commented "But I'm not complaining, I'm living the dream! Anyway, this award is for the brilliant minds of promising young writers who've managed to write captivating stories so early in life. With any luck, these authors will go on to keep the Kimmunity thriving for good long time".

"The nominees for Best Young Author are…FusciaPhoenix...JustSaiyan123...and DismalOrc29177."

One by one, the camera focused on the three female finalists. They all just simply waved to the camera.

"And the winner is…" Eddy13 said as he tore opened the envelope. "...JustSaiyan123!"

JustSaiyan, known as Jackie, then came up on the stage, dressed in a denim jumpsuit with KP initials in green rhinestones and cowboy boots. She heard the applauding from the remaining crowd.

She came to the podium, speech in hand.

"I really did not expect to win an award in any category whatsoever. Sounds pretty pessimistic, huh? But anyway, I do feel a bit of excitement and happiness from winning the Best Young Author Award. I'd like to thank those who voted for me and all my readers. Especially Sharper for telling me I qualify for the KP Fannies back in May.

I've been a big fan of KP for as long as I can remember, and just winning an award in this community really made my everything.

Thank you, thank you so much! I feel like I don't deserve this award, but wow, I feel really happy."

And with that, she exited the stage.

"A shoutout to JustSaiyan123 for taking home the best Young Author award. Give that young woman a lot of credit for her interest in DragonBall for contributing to that award!" Sharper chuckled a little.

"The next award that we're presenting is for all the new KP authors that are out there. So give it up, once again, for TemporaryInsanity91 and Legionnaire!"

TI and Legionnaire was about to come back to the stage when a person broke through the auditorium walls.

"Ugh...why is everyone busting through the walls of my opera house!" Bonnie whined. "He's going to pay for the damages, you know!"

"I apologize, Miss Rockwaller!" the Scandinavian Olympian replied, "But the cannon misfired!"

He gave a thumbs-up to Legionnaire.

"I'm going to misfire at you if you don't get out of here!" Bonnie scowled.

The Scandinavian Olympian exited through a back door.

"Ugh...insurance is not going to cover damage made by these idiots!" Bonnie growled.

TI and Legionnaire made their way to the stage with Legionnaire preparing the speech and TI holding the award and envelope in her hands.

"Every year, new authors make their way into the Kim Possible fandom, hoping to make an impact and a legacy the same way the late Commander Argus, the late CPNeb, MrDrP, Whitem, or CaptainKodak all have done. These are extremely big shoes to fill. These six finalists hope to fill those shoes!"

"They are...DismalOrc29177...The Ambiguous Fool...ARandomShipper...HumpyDumpy...GerbilHunter...and CelendiAU!"

"TI...the award, please." Legionnaire said before the Scandinavian Olympian returned.

"I have returned to announce the winner of the Best New Author award!" the Olympian said. "That winner is...TheAmbiguousFool!" He then left a second time through the same door.

Fool went down the stage to accept his Golden Rufus from Legionnaire.

"It was a wonderful surprise to be notified that I won a Fannie award. There are a lot of great new writers here and I'm happy to be a part of them. There are also a lot more awards to win and goals to set. I hope this Fannie Committee continues and we have more chances to be recognized writers and storytellers. Thank you!"

With that, he left the stage, hugging his award.

Sharper came back to the podium and said. "Wow! Congrats to both JustSaiyan and AmbigousFool for winning their respective awards! That was probably the quickest segment of tonight's ceremony! When we come back from a brief break, we'll have the winners for Best Single Line and Best Reviewer!"

He headed down the stage as Brittney Spears' "Baby One More Time" played.

(10:30pm)

The teenaged Kim, Ron, and Agent Du traversed through the tunnels.

"According to my sensors, Ubel Drakken and his cohorts are close!" Kim said, looking through the Kimmunicator.

"How can you even tell?" Agent Du mockingly questioned. "We're nowhere near close to those villains!"

"Do you need even glasses, Agent Du?" Kim snarled, pointing to the sign that says Secret Lab, which had an arrow going to the right. "Now come on! Drakken must not get his hands on whatever he's planning to steal!"

Ron took this time to intervene.

"Hey, uh, KP?"

"Yeah, Ron?"

Ron asked, "Have you really thought about what...the future you...said?"

Kim smiled and said, "Of course! I shouldn't let what Bonnie say or do dictate on what happens to me at either the dance or that Shakespeare play!"

Agent Du smirked, "Even the balcony scene?"

"You really like to irk me, don't you, Agent Du?" Kim scowled, the smile fading from her face.

"Of course I do!" Agent Du snickered.

(10 minutes later)

The three of them finally approached a grating at the end of a tunnel in the Rockwaller lab. Ubel was in the room with Shego, along with KB One and Three. Also in there were ten of the captured scientists.

"There they are!" Kim whispered. "Whatever Drakken is seeking...it has to be here!"

"And the scientists too!" Du whispered, pointing to the captured scientists.

"Here's the plan of action!" Kim said while strategizing. "I'll take on Drakken and Shego, Du will free the scientists, and Ron will distract the yellow and black freakos!"

"Aww man...I still have to play the role of the distraction?!" Ron complained.

"At least it's not as bad as playing a tree in a play!" Kim snarked, taking out her hairdryer grappling gun.

"Now, you all remember your parts of the plan to catch Drakken! Let's go!"

(10:40pm)

Ubel groaned at the resilience of the captured scientists. KB One and Three were looking through every single nook and cranny of the lab while KB's Two, Four and Five stood outside the lab and guarded the area.

"Tell me...where is the Rockwallerium in your carving device?!" he screamed at the lead scientist.

"We'll never tell you, you demented mad scientist." the lead scientist retorted.

"Fine..." Ubel uttered, "...if you won't tell me, then my assistant will force it out for you!"

"What is she going to do to us?!" the lead scientist taunted, "Bake a cake?"

Drakken gave an evil smirk and said, "I wouldn't make that remark if I'd were you!"

Shego, at that moment, fired up her plasma hands at the lead scientist...whom then wet his pants.

"Make another remark like that one more time and I will put you and your nerdlingers in the emergency room with fourth-degree burns!" she snarled.

"Fine! I'll tell you where it is!" the lead scientist admitted, praying that he won't end up in the hospital. "It's at the top of the device, where the firing mechanism is at!"

"Thank you!" Drakken uttered, "Now it's time for us to get the element and leave before..."

The sound of an explosion interrupted Drakken's comment.

"...you go to jail?" Kim answered Drakken's own sentence.

"Kim Possible?! I thought you were distracted!" Drakken exclaimed.

"Sorry, Drakken, but my eyes are on the prize! To foil your evil plan!" Kim shouted at him.

"You're not going to triumph over me that easily! Shego!" Drakken yelled for his henchwoman. Shego somersaulted in the air, firing up her green electrical flames.

While that was going on, Agent Du untied the scientists from their bonds and helped them escape. The scientists fled in terror.

Shego saw this and said, "What about the scientists?"

"Forget about them!" Drakken replied, "You and KB's One and Three will distract Team Possible while I get the element!"

Drakken ran up the staircase in an effort to get to the Rockwallerium.

Agent Du was busy with trying to fight off KB One while Ron was being chased around by KB Three.

Kim, meanwhile, was fighting against Shego, all the while dodging her electrical flames.

Ubel, hoping that he would gain the upper hand on his enemy, continued going up the staircase.

Time was definitely not on his side.
