Danny woke up with a groan. Looking around, he was floating in the air, his hands and ankles restrained with glowing blue chains. Looking around, the others were lined up restrained like he was in a throne room, green banners hanging from the wall, museum pieces like the Mona Lisa decorating the walls.

Sitting on a golden throne, petting the time monkey in her lap like a cat out of a James Bond movie, was a woman who wasn't Shego. She was mostly in her thirties with pale skin, green eyes, a sickly yellow ring around the iris black hair braided with gold. She wore a black sleeveless jumpsuit and a green and black cape around her shoulders.

Maybe she was Shegos daughter or a clone who was watching the place while Shego was conquering Mars.

"Wow, plastic surgery technology has taken off in the future," Ben commented. "Shego looks absolutely nothing like Shego."

"Ben, I don't think that's Shego," Penny replied, glaring at her brother. "I can't believe you stabbed us all in the back like that."

Bebe shrugged. "What can I say? I've had an attitude adjustment," was all he said

"They used the attitudinator on him?" Penny was shocked at what they did to her little brother.

"He betrayed us!" Ron said.

"It's not his fault, like when Ron went evil," Kim said to the other girl while Ron blinked, confused. "I never went evil."

"Ron, don't you remember the convention of the attitudinator turning your trike into a laser catapult? Your cousin Shawn being a brat."

"I remember the convention you fought with Shego. There was some mutant alligator fighting nearby, and the attitude thing went off a few times, but it didn't hit me. It nearly got you, but you're Kim. You can dodge lasers in your sleep.

But what if she didn't, Danny thought, looking at the smirking woman looking past the pale skin and the black hair, the evil confident smirk on her face, and the green eyes.

The familiar green eyes.

Ben connected the dots, too. "No way."

"I was not aware of this," Rufus 3000 said quietly

"Way yellow trout," the woman Future Kim said, putting the time monkey on the armrest of her throne as she stood up. "Gotta say, Danny, I'm surprised you figured it out so fast. You always were clueless," she mocked, eyeing him repeatedly. "Cute, though."

"Sorry, you're way too old for me," Danny commented sarcastically, "Also, in a relationship with the love of my life and all."

"Aww, thanks, Boo," Penny smiled before glaring at Future Kim. "How are you, evil Kim."

"Hold that thought," Future Kim said, holding up a hand as Etrigan came in dragging the bodies of Katie and Baljeet, dropping them on the ground unceremoniously.

Future Kim smirked, walking over. She pats Etrigan on the head like a dog. "Good work, slave."

Etrigan snarled, his eyes glowing red "Were it not for this brand, it would have been you who burned at my hand."

"Then, lucky for me, you only burn who I tell you to burn," she said. "Now get back to your post."

The brand on Etrigans forehead glowed brightly before he walked off.

"Animo are you done playing with Midnight Leopard," Future Kim asked.

A holo screen appeared a scratched and bruised Animo, smirking with his stolen alien body. "It's done, the Black Panther. Miraculous. Is your great one" Animo answered, gritting his teeth when he said Great One was holding up a piece of jewelry.

Penny gasped, looking like she'd just been punched in the gut, while future Kim smirked. "Good work, head to base, hunt down the last mole rats and Webb."

Animo nodded. Future Kim smirked, turning off back to the screen. "Now, where were we."

"When I get out of here, you're going to wish you'd never been born," Penny yelled, struggling against her chains. Future Kim rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, anyways, back to me, so you're wondering where Shego is."

"The thought crossed my mind," Tucker answered coldly.

"See, I was 'born' after the convention. The attitudinator hit me, making me evil the next day; Shego found me and offered to show me the ropes to conquer the world so I could do anything. I agreed."

"With the time monkey, I'd blip in and out of the present with Shego. We built our plans and struck when the world was at its lowest."

"Virusmon," Danny guessed.

"Bingo," Future Kim answered. "After that, it was easy to take over the world. The heroes were weak, and a few were on my boss's payroll. I'd gotten Ron sent off on his retirement in Norway" Future Kim looked to Ron. "Did you like the Bueno Nacho Ron? I had it opened just for you."

"I met Sophie there. Did you set that up too," Ron asked his wife, curious about that too.

"No, that happened all on you, Ron, but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth," Kim said. "You're like Danny. You didn't have the confidence to believe girls could like you."

Fair point

"So, after being Shego's right hand for a while, things got boring. I was tired of not being on top of the pyramid," Future Kim finished, "so I rule of two her" Future Kim smiled. "I built a robot to keep up appearances."

Future Kim sat back down on her throne, "and now here I am, the ruler of the world. You might be wondering how I can exist since you changed the past trying to stop me but ended up making me" Future Kim shrugged. "Honestly, no clue, but hey, I ain't complaining," she said, looking at Danny and Ben.

"So what's the plan now, Kim," Kim asked her evil doppelganger.

"Easy, I'm going to give you all an attitude adjustment Tucker Penny Ron the mole rats, and my past self can be new super soldiers I send to conquer Mars Danny and Ben, well, I've got plans for them," she said, "after all, every queen needs a king or two."

"Did she just say what I think she just said," Danny said?

"Yeah, That's What she definitely said," Ben said with the same gulp.

"Ah, what's the matter, boys? Don't you want me to be your queen?" Kim asked with a devious smile.

"One, we are in relationships with two wonderful girls," Ben started.

"Two, we are way too young for you, so hard pass," Danny added.

"And three, we will never cheat on our girlfriends," Both said in unison.

Kim and Penny were happy that their boyfriend wouldn't cheat on them, especially from a future version of one of them.

"Also, if I had a quarter for every evil lady that wants me for their king, I would have four quarters," Ben said.

"You had this happen to you four times, Ben?" Danny asked.

"Well there, Looma, Altea, and Camille Leon," Ben mentioned.

Danny had a shiver go up his spine about Camile Leon's name. "Don't remind me," Danny had a bad experience with the face-changing villainous.

"They're minors. That is so sick and wrong," Ron cried out.

Evil Kim ignores future Ron and smiles at Danny and Ben. The two heroes shivered from the look that the future Kim was giving them. "not a problem," Evil Kim snapped her fingers. A robot brought out a machine that looked like a high-tech version of that baby toy where you stacked rings on each other.

With another snap of her fingers, the robot blasted Future Kim surrounding her in orange light. When it faded, Future Kim was the same age as regular Kim.

"Hmm, you like," she said with a sultry look on her face. "It's one of Drakken's inventions, knowing that idiot. It's a miracle it works," She sneered when she said Drakken's name as she got up from her throne, putting a hand on Danny's cheek. "We'll need to change a few things. Hit you with the attitudinator for one thing, then implant a modulator to keep you from going all Dark Danny on me and destroying my planet."

"Not going to happen and never going to happen," Danny sneered, moving his head away from Future Kim, not wanting anything to do with her.

"You'll think to tune when I'm done with you, lover boy," Kim came close to Danny's face, about to kiss him.

This was interrupted by the robot that caused Drakken's aging machine to explode, surprising everyone except Ron for some reason.

"Took you long enough, Rufus," Ron called out.

'Rufus?' Danny wondered.

Stepping out of the wreckage of the robot, a wrinkly naked mole rat stepped out with a shuriken in his paws. "Sorry," he said, throwing a shuriken. It arced through the air, breaking everyone's restraints.

"Rufus," both Kims said, the present one sounding happy while the future one sounded shocked before turning on Bebe, furious. "You told me he was dead."

"Ron told everyone he was. "Bebe defended himself.

The ninja star turned back into the katana he'd been holding earlier. "You're not the only one who can plant a spy in someone's ranks, KP," he said

Danny needed to figure out what ticked Future Kim off more she got tricked, or she got tricked by Ron and Rufus. With a snap of her fingers, more robots, one who looked like Shego, along with evilized versions of superheroes

Some Danny recognized either because he worked with them or saw them on TV or the internet others he had yet to learn who they were, the biggest problem being Etrigan.

"Get the time, monkey," Danny shouted, going ghost. He rushed for the monkey only to get backhanded by Etrigan, sent flying up through the air, crashing into a wall.

Yeah, that really hurt.

Phasing out of the wall, Danny fired ice blast after ice blast at Etrigan, coating him in ice. His eyes glowing red, fire surged off his body, shattering the ice. Danny and Etrigan closed the difference between each other, throwing a powerful punch, their fists colliding, shaking the room.

Okay yeah, that really hurt. Katie and Baljeet fought this guy. Etrigan was breathing heavily. He might have won, but Katie hadn't made it easy for him

That was the good news, the bad news, Danny thought, dodging a stream of fire. He was still pretty powerful. It's not like Danny could make him transform back into a person.

Could he

Danny turned invisible, flying around Etrigan before diving at him, turning intangible and overshadowing him. Danny needed to hurry; Etrigan was trying to push him out

"Come come the form of man, rest the demon Etrigan," Danny said. Fire spun around him, pushing Danny out. Etrigan transformed into his place as a middle-aged redhead man with a white streak in his hair. He smiled gratefully before he vanished in a poof. Of smoke

"You could have stayed and helped," Danny grumbled before looking around. The fighting was crazy. The good guys were outnumbered, and the Time Monkey was just there.

Danny obviously rushed for it before he could get his hands on it. A flash of green hit him in the face, the sting of his ectoranium sending him sliding back.

"Do you have any idea how long it took me to catch him the first time" Future Kim snarled hysterically? "I'm not going to let you take away my world," green knuckles on her fists probably made of ectoranium

"Yeah, I don't really care," Future Kim hissed, rushing at him. Danny dodged, not letting himself get hit by the ectoranium knuckles again. Danny knew that in a regular fight, Kim was the better martial artist, and this version of Kim had twenty extra years of experience than the Kim he was used to sparring with

But he had powers, and she was ticked off because Danny had freed her favorite guard dog, and an angry opponent was a stupid opponent

Sure, it wasn't fair, but with the fate of the world on the line, Danny wasn't going to care too much about fighting fair

Future Kim flipped at him, throwing wild blows without aiming. Danny bobbed and weaved using speeds he ordinarily wouldn't when sparring with Kim.

Danny aimed at the floor under her feet, covering it in ice. She slipped enough for Danny to hit her with an uppercut that sent her flying and crashing into her throne.

Around him, the other bad guys and robots were beaten while Penny punched Bebe in the face and knocked him to the ground.

'My girlfriend just knocked out Batman,' Danny thought, falling in love with this woman all over again. 'Man, that's hot,'

Danny and the others surrounded Future Kim. "Give it up, Kim. Hand over the Time Monkey."

Instead of looking defeated, Future Kim looked like she had a screw loose. She just kept laughing and laughing and standing up and holding the Time Monkey.

"If I can't have the world, then no one can," she can, tossing the Time monkey to the ground, the statue shattering into a million pieces.

"No," Penny shouted, "are you a crazy woman? You don't know what'll happen."

"No, and I don't really care either," Future-Kim laughed madly as a red portal emerged from the shattered time monkey swirling high above their head. Then there was a flash of light blinding everyone.

Danny and Penny were walking back to Penny's house after a mostly nice date, with the exception of Cupid getting a bunch of guys to go love crazy for Penny.

Danny was in a lousy mood for a little bit after dealing with the pink-haired fairy, but Penny could cheer Danny up pretty quickly with some kisses.

"So, a good date," Danny asked. Penny nodded

"The best," she answered, leaning up and giving him a kiss on the lips. Danny smiled, looping his arms around her waist and pulling her in close. The young couple enjoyed their romantic moment until it got interrupted by Danny getting a massive headache.

Danny pulled away. Penny looked like she had a headache too, but it went away as quickly as it started. "Man, that was weird," Penny said

"Yeah," Danny agreed, wondering what had just happened

Before he shrugged, whatever it was it, was over. All that mattered right now was that he was here with his girlfriend. The two shared another quick kiss before he walked her home.

Meanwhile in Bellwood

Kim and Ben were at Cafe Des Fleurs, where they were dancing to a slow dance.

"Ben, I didn't know you knew how to dance?" Kim was surprised Ben was able to dance.

"Well, Gwen taught me, and I decided to show you something I can do that I don't do much," Ben said.

"Well, it caught me off guard," Kim smiled.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Kim," Ben told her.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Ben. I love you," Kim said.

Ben's heart began to beat rapidly after what Kim told him. His cheeks flushed red, and he felt like he was on top of the world, no the universe.

"I love you too, Kim," he said back to her.
