Chapter 8:
At the History Museum:
After she had finished changing clothes, Shego headed to the history museum. After disabling the museum's security system, she snuck around inside and tried to locate the Anubis head.
"Where the hell is it?"
Shego thought. She had been wandering around for about half an hour, and was beginning to grow tired.
"Dr. D really should've planned this better. I have no idea where I'm going."
Shego thought as she turned the corner. At that moment, she spotted the Anubis head.
"Bingo."
Shego then walked over to the item that she had been searching all this time for. However, just as she was about to grab it, a voice called out to her.
"You know, it's not nice to take things that don't belong to you."
Kim said, standing in the doorway with a hand on her hip.
"Princess, fancy meeting you here."
"Step away from the Anubis head, Shego."
"Make me."
Shego said, lighting up her plasma.
"So, we're gonna do it the hard way? Fine, I'm game."
Kim said, getting into a fighting stance. Shego then lunged at the redhead and the two began to duke it out.
"So Kimmie, where's the buffoon?"
"Ron is at home babysitting his little sister."
Kim said, putting emphasis on Ron's name.
"What's the matter, don't like me calling your boyfriend names?"
"No."
"Well, too bad."
Shego then did a roundhouse kick to Kim's chest, and sent the teen flying across the room. She then ran and grabbed Anubis' head. She then attempted to take off, only to be prevented from doing so, by Kim leaping in front of her.
"Going somewhere?"
"No, but you are."
Shego then sent a kick to the side of Kim's head, only to have her ankle grabbed by Kim.
"I don't think so."
Kim then twisted Shego's leg, and shoved her back. Anubis' head went flying out of Shego's hands. Both women watched in horror as the head hit the ground, and broke into four separate pieces.
"Look what you did!"
Kim shrieked, panic setting in.
"Lighten up, Cupcake. It's just a stupid dog head."
Kim's eye twitched, and she felt anger bubbling up inside her.
"Just a stu- just a- have you gone completely insane?! It was not just a stupid dog head! It was the Anubis head, a world famous artifact, and you broke it!"
"Hey, don't yell at me. You helped."
"Oh my god, you're right. What have I done? I'll be allowed inside another museum as long as I live. Wait, what am I saying? I'll never be allowed to save the world again. I mean, how can I be trusted when I go around breaking priceless artifacts?"
As Kim continued to ramble on and freak out, Shego tried to get her attention.
"Princess."
No answer.
"Pumpkin."
Still no answer.
"Cupcake."
Still no answer, and Kim was starting to hyperventilate.
"Kimmie."
Still no answer, and now Kim was hyperventilating and crying.
"Oh for the love of- Kimberly Ann Possible, calm down!"
Kim stopped her panicking, and stared at Shego in disbelief.
"Did you just call me by my full name?"
"Yeah."
"But, you never call me by my full name."
"Yeah well, you never freak out in front of me."
"True."
"Yeah, well I gotta go."
Shego then tried to leave, but was stopped by Kim grabbing her arm.
"You really think I'm gonna let you leave just like that?"
"Yeah. You stopped me, now I'm heading back to Drakken's lair."
"Oh no you don't. You are staying here and helping me put the Anubis head back together."
"Give me one good reason why I should help you."
"I can still tell the world that you used to be good."
"You wouldn't dare."
"I've still got a website, and I'm still not afraid to use it."
Shego stared at Kim for a moment, to see if she would back down. When she saw that the redhead would do no such thing, she let out a groan of frustration.
"Grr, fine. But if you tell anyone I helped you, I am going to fry you."
"We'll see about that."
Kim and Shego then turned their attention to the Anubis head, and saw a strange, black smoke coming out of it.
"Uh...is it supposed to do that?"
Kim asked.
"The hell if I know. Come on, I'm sure it's fine."
Kim then watched as Shego walked closer to the broken Anubis head.
"Um, Shego?"
"What?"
Shego asked, turning her attention to Kim.
"Are you sure it's a good idea to go near it?"
"Sure. Besides, you're the one that wanted to fix it."
Shego then turned her attention back to the Anubis head, and what she saw made her jaws drop. The Anubis head had somehow been fixed, and it was now being worn as a mask, by a mysterious figure surrounded by a white light.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Shego, don't be rude."
Shego was about to tell Kim off, when the mysterious figure spoke.
"I am Anubis, god of embalming and of death."
Anubis said, in a deep, booming voice.
"That's nice."
Shego said as she inspected her nails. Anubis growled in frustration.
"Insolent humans. How dare you show disrespect to the great Anubis."
"Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?"
Anubis let out a growl, and he moved closer to Shego.
"Shego, maybe you should stop. You're starting to make him angry."
"Relax Kim, I'm just having fun. Besides, what's he gonna do, steal my soul?"
"I'll steal something much more valuable from you than your soul."
Anubis then placed his hand on top of Shego's head, and a strange energy began flowing from it. Shego tried to move away, and was surprised to find that she was frozen in place. Anubis gave her a sinister smile, when he saw the look of fear in her eyes.
"I warned you not to disrespect me."
Anubis then tightened his grip on Shego's head, and she let out a scream of pain.
"Stop it, you're hurting her!"
"You stay out of this, it doesn't concern you."
Kim tried to charge at Anubis, and ended up getting thrown against the wall.
"Pathetic human."
Anubis sneered. After a few more seconds, he released Shego, and her body dropped to the ground in an unconscious heap. Kim quickly rushed to her side.
"Next time, I won't go so easy on her."
With that said, Anubis walked over to the pedestal that the Anubis head had been on. He then stood on top of the pedestal, and a bright light shone around him. After a few moments, the light faded and all that remained was the Anubis head, intact like it had never been touched.
