"Bebe connect me to Wade and the ladies, they need to know what's heading their way." Ron commanded as he started jogging out of Jack Hench's office towards the nearest exit.
"On it." Bebe acknowledged. "Connecting."
"Hey Ron, how's the mission going?" Wade asked from his end of the line.
"Did the mission finish?" Monique asked.
"That was fast." Tara said.
"Why is it a conference call? Did someone get hurt?" Ann asked.
"Ron are you okay?" Asked Bonnie.
"Guys, slow down and let him speak." Shego called out while Yori nodded.
"Go ahead, Ron." Amy said.
"Mission is just about wrapped up but we found out that some villains should arrive within two hours to raid the estate. I need everyone to head to the lab and initiate lock down protocols." Ron said.
"We can contact the authorities and be ready for them." Amy said smugly.
"Not gonna work." Kim cut in. "They got some government officials on their side that guaranteed them an hour for their assault."
"So Wade get everyone together and head to the lab. As you know it can withstand a nuclear warhead. Alert Akito and tell him no one leaves alive. We'll be there in four hours but the jet's engine will pretty much be ready to explode by then since it wasn't made to handle such speed. Sorry Shego but I'm overriding the safety protocols as we speak." Ron announced.
"Don't worry Ron, you can afford a replacement." Shego joked.
"Ron, if it is necessary Shego and I will fight." Yori declared.
"As much as I'm against the idea, I'll leave it to you guys if it comes to it. Now record my following words in case the worst comes to pass." Ron said and began to speak.

Wade did just as Ron requested and got everyone to the lab then contacted Akito who was with his team outside of the estate and filled him in on what's to come.
Akito agreed with Ron's command that there will be no mercy and led his team back to the estate, telling Wade that under no circumstances were they allowed to leave the lab before a signal was given that it was safe.
Wade agreed and continued going over the security displays on his Neuro Linker. He set everything to record and broadcast as soon as the attack began to show the public that the government allowed it to happen without assistance. He even had recordings of the various attempts to contact the police and emergency services that were being stoned walled.
Wade sat to the side with Olivia by his side as the two went over every failsafe in place to ensure that no one made it to the lab. The twins were to the side using some of the equipment to make an invisible laser field that would cut intruders to pieces. The ladies, Wade's parents and Olivia's parents were to the side talking in hushed tones trying to keep their spirits up.
"We should be safe with all the security Wade put into this place." Jacob Load, Wade's dad said confidently.
"You're right Jacob, Wade's security should keep us safe." Gwen Load agreed.
"Oliver, sweetie you should sit down. You know how bad your heart gets under stress." Angela said.
"You're right, Angela." Oliver agreed before sitting by her side and when he noticed her trembling wrapped an arm around her.
Shego and Yori were going over the security feeds as Ann paced back and forth by the others.
"Ron is going to make it in time, he always does." Monique announced confidently.
"Monique's right, Ron will be here in time to kick their assess." Bonnie agreed. "All we have to do is stay calm and wait."
"Right! Ron has never let us down." Tara chimed in.
"Yeah!" Amy said.
Right then Ann stops pacing and says. "It's dinner time and we all need something to eat, especially Shego and Yori. So who is willing to help me make some sandwiches?"
"I will." Gwen said.
"As will I." Angela offered.
"Great." Ann said and got right to it.
Not a half hour later everyone had eaten and the wait resumed. Soon after that the twins spoke. "We're done!"
"What's done?" Everyone asked.
"Laser..." Tim began.
"...Defense grid." Jim finished.
Then they stereo. "Now anything that gets through that door unannounced will be torn to pieces."
"Jim, Tim why did you build something so dangerous? Do you know what you're saying?!" Ann demanded.
"Because to protect our family..." Jim began.
"...we will do what's necessary." Tim finished.
"Boys, you're not old enough to take on such responsibilities." Ann tried to soothe them.
"We're the men of house." Jim/Tim stereo.
"Is the device active?" Shego asked interrupting Ann's next words.
"Not yet, we were afraid..." Tim began.
"...to interrupt the estate's defenses." Jim finished.
"Good, show me how to turn it on and I'll be in charge of when it does." Shego declared.
"Shego, thank you." Ann said softly.
Nodding, Shego followed the twins back to the device. Not long after going over how to power on and off the device the security sensors picked up intruders.
"It's begun!" Yori says to the silent room.

Senor Senior Senior led his team as he casually strolled into Ron's estate. Stopping a few feet past the gates, he looked at Duff Killigan who brought them down with a few exploding golf balls. Then at Falsetto Jones who was calmly looking around.
"Monkey ninjas, find the pretender and bring him before me!" Monkey Fist shouted.
Falsetto Jones high pitched voice cut in. "You should have waited till we sweeped for traps, Mister Fiske."
"My Monkey ninjas are trained to avoid such things..." Monkey Fist was replying when a volley of tranquilizers peppered them.
"That may be so for automatic defenses but these are remote controlled." Falsetto Jones added.
"Gentlemen, allow me." Senor Senior Senior declared as he signaled the mercenary under him.
As the mercenary went about deactivating the estate's defenses that the remaining Monkey ninja were uncovering, Killigan spoke up. "We could just blow everything up, laddie."
"That would defeat the purpose of our visit." Senor Senior Senior said. "We want young mister Stoppable's technology and for that we need him alive and well."
"Well, I shall get to work." Falsetto Jones declared as he walked away from them to begin his own infiltration.
Senor Senior Senior looked ahead and focused on his team working their way in. After the tranquilizers there were other non lethal means to deter them and that had an unintended effect of lowering their guard.
Seeing the shadow of Duff Killigan waving his golf club Senor Senior Senior spoke. "Mister Killigan, if you're that bored why don't you blow our way to the entrace..." When he turned to the man, Senior saw Killigan clutching his throat and dropping to his knees, blood escaping his fingers. 'He's not going to make it.' Senior concluded. "Gentlemen, I believe caution is in order or we might join Mister Killigan in an early grave."
Senior's mercenaries rushed to his side to protect him and secure the perimeter. Monkey Fist disappeared into stealth to do his own thing and Falsetto Jones stayed radio silent even after a report was sent that Killigan was dead, his fate unknown.
"Gentlemen, drop the slow approach and clear our way into the house. We must secure young mister Stoppable before he has us join Mister Killigan." Senor Senior Senior ordered.
The mercenary were about to pepper the ground with explosives when Killigan's golf balls spread under their feet.
"Take cover!" Someone yelled as he tackled Senor Senior Senior to safety.
Soon after multiple explosions rocked the area and cries of agony started to spread. Senor Senior Senior wobbled to his feet, the man who tackled him crying as he looked at his missing legs. Senor Senior Senior was just thanking his luck for making it out unscathed when the cries of agony were reducing at an alarming rate.
"Ahh-" Abruptly a sound to his left is cut off and Senor Senior Senior swings his cane in the direction, revealing the sword from it's sheath.
Hearing a muffled grunt and drawing blood, Senior yells. "Enemies around us using some kind of stealth tech."
The mercenaries that had minor wounds sweeped the perimeter as a few pulled out thermal goggles hoping to even the playing field. Another cry of agony was silenced even though they were being careful making the battle hardened unit to become unsettled.
"Nothing is coming up on thermal!" One declared as another mercenary was silenced.
By this point the mercenaries and Senor Senior Senior were at the middle of the yard between the gate and the house, hoping Senior gave the signal to retreat.
Just then a voice was heard over the coms. "I'm inside the house, keep them distracted while I find the pretender!"
