Danny's First Mission
All was dark in the realm. That is until the shutter doors open to reveal the host author, the infamous merc with a mouth, and a familiar trio of anthropomorphic dogs. However, they weren't alone. Accompanying the group was the Goodfeathers; a trio of pigeons named Bobby, Pesto, and Squit.
"Hey. Nice place you got here." Bobby comments as he and the others land on top of the flatscreen TV.
"Yeah. It's all spick and span." Pesto adds with agreement.
"Not a speck of dirt anywhere." Squit said as he looked around.
The host glanced at the pigeons as he asked.
"What happened to the Godpigeon anyway?"
"Oh, we extended the invite to the Godpigeon." Bobby said. "But he said he had other plans, so he couldn't come."
While the host author nodded in understanding, Deadpool had a confused look before he asked.
"You let those three sacks of feathers in?"
"I invited them to come." guardian1989 said with a shrug. "Just as long as Pesto doesn't get hostile with Squit, like he always does."
Deadpool nodded before Squit opened his beak as he said.
"See? Even the author agrees."
Pesto shot a glare at Squit as he asked.
"What do you mean by that?"
However, Bobby intervened as he said.
"Yo, Pesto! Knock it off! We said we'd behave, member?"
Suddenly, the doorbell rang as everyone looked at the shutter doors. The host author takes a wad of cash out of his pocket before opening the doors, pays the delivery men before taking the boxes of pizza, bottles of soda, and bags of food as the shutters close behind him. Instantly, the Warners and Deadpool help with the food and beverages by setting the items they grab onto the table.
The bags of food had chimichangas, specifically for the merc with a mouth and some sweet bread for the Goodfeathers as they were served purified water in a bowl. The Warners and the host author got their share of pizza, and sodas were served.
After taking their seats in their respective chairs, guardian1989 asked Deadpool while handing a remote to him.
"Want to do the honors?"
"Sure, peanut." he faces the readers. "Time to continue the shenanigans with my boy DP, ladies and gentlemen!"
The lights turn off as the new chapter begins.
Two weeks have passed since Kim gave Danny a tour of Middleton and the latter's second encounter with Drakken and Shego. Last weekend, Danny tried to invite Sam and Tucker over to Middleton to show them around and hopefully convince the goth girl into being civilized with Kim when he got the chance to introduce her to them. However, both of them informed the ghost boy that they couldn't come due to being grounded. Danny did not know the reason for their punishment, for they did not tell him what happened.
Rigjt now, it was Monday, and class was in session. Their algebra teacher, Miss Whisp returned as she passed out pop quizzes to the students. However, Ron was the only student sleeping before waking up with a hypnic jerk and a shocked gasp. After looking around, the blonde felt relieved as he got Kim's attention.
"Hey, KP. You're never gonna believe the nightmare I've had." he began as Kim turned around to glance at him. "Miss Whisp was passing back tests. I got..."
Ron was about to realize that his nightmare was, in fact, a reality, as the teacher gave returned his test while saying.
"Another F."
"Right!" Ron looks at his test to see it before he bemoaned. "Oh man."
As Kim rolled her eyes, Miss Whisp reached Danny as she said to him
"B minus."
Kim glanced at Danny before she said with impression.
"Not too shabby."
Danny shrugged as he said.
"I had a little help from Jazz."
Eventually, the bell rang, indicating that the current class period was over. As every student walk out of the classroom to get to their lockers to prepare for the next class period, Ron bemoaned.
"Three algebra tests, three F's in a row." Ron points to his forehead. "Got nothing but air beneath the hair."
Rufus knocked on Ron's head before squeaking.
"Hello."
As Kim was opening her locker, she said to her best friend.
"Come on, Ron. You just have to, you know, work harder to..."
"To realize my potential." Ron finished. Mm-hm. Heard it. Lived it. Bought the movie rights." Ron gives Kim the gun gesture. "Ron Stoppable is Potential Boy.; coming soon to a theater near you."
While Kim rolled her eyes once again, Danny closed his locker as he said.
"You know, dude. Kim does have a point. Besides, my sister gave me a similar pep talk last year." Danny shrugs at the latter part.
"Speaking from experience?" Kim asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Pretty much." Danny said.
Suddenly, the computer monitor in Kim's locker activates automatically to reveal Wade on the screen.
"Kim! We've got trouble. There's been a breach at a highly classified underground defense lab outside of Demoine, Iowa."
Kim glanced at Ron as she asked.
"How does Iowa grab you?"
Danny rose an eyebrow as he asked.
"You're cutting class to go on this mission? Won't you two get in trouble for...?"
Kim knew what Danny was concerned about as she assured him.
"Danny. It's no big. Ron and I go through this almost on a daily basis."
"Besides, the school doesn't make any complaints about us leaving anyways." Ron adds.
Danny was silent for a moment before he said.
"Well, if it's those two bozos at it again, you guys be careful."
Kim smiled at Danny's genuine concern over their well-being. As the two head off, Danny could only watch with a small smile. Right when he was about to walk to get to his next class, he hears an obnoxious feminine voice.
"Aw. What's the matter? Did Kim suddenly ditch you?"
Danny rolled his eyes before he snarked.
"Damn. How people tolerate being around you boggles the mind."
Bonnie's smirk suddenly faded as she dropped her jaw while Danny continued.
"I'm surprised that you're still on the squad with that attitude of yours."
Bonnie walked away fuming while Danny shook his head in annoyance. Soon, the ghost boy walked to his next class in haste to avoid detention.
"Man, I don't know who's more of a bitch, the brunette with the tan or the Hispanic cheerleader of DP's old school." Deadpool commented.
"I think there are those who think the same thing out there." guardian1989 said in response before taking a sip of soda.
"So, since this title mentions my boy going on his first mission, when will that happen?" Deadpool asked in curiosity.
"Later on in the chapter." the host author replies.
The merc shrugged as he said.
"Fair enough, peanut. Let's get back to the chapter, shall we?"
In the lab that was underground, there was a rumble; like a tremor, where the supercomputer was located. Suddenly, the wall bursts, destroying the enormous screen in a process as a massive tank-like vehicle equipped with a drill rolls in.
Out of the vehicle, Drakken and Shego step out before the good doctor stretches his back, popping some bones simultaneously as he complained.
"Oh! My back is killing me! Shego? Why did I let you talk me out of buying the model with heated seats and lumbar support?"
"Because it also had a sun roof, which on a subterranean vehicle seemed a little..." Shego walked by Drakken as she continued to snark. "I don't know. Pointless."
Drakken was about to say something response to his sidekick's usual snarky attitude until a device caught his eye. A chair that looked like it was connected to a hi-tech helm on top of the back rest.
"There it is. Project Phoebus." Drakken approaches the device. "Once I manipulate my own brilliant cerebral cortex with that experimental beam, I'll become even more brilliant!" he clasps his hands. "Perhaps ridiculously brilliant, certainly brilliant enough to design my own doomsday weapon."
Shego runs to a control console nearby as she said.
"Let's charge her up."
However, before the mercenary could activate the right controls, Drakken stops her as he said.
"Ah ah ah! Patience Shego." He places his hands on his hips. "First, we must document this historic moment in my quest for world domination."
Suddenly, Drakken pulls out a camera before tossing it to Shego as he said.
"Here. Use this. It came free with the test drive."
Suddenly, Drakken was temporarily blinded by the camera flash before he said.
"Wait! I wasn't ready."
Soon the evil doctor gets in a pose with the machinery as he said.
"Try again."
As Shego took another picture, Kim and Ron enter the security room while the former salutes the individual in charge.
"Kim Possible? Lt. Franklin."
"What's the sitch?" Kim asks.
As the lieutenant turned around to show various monitoring screens that were displaying static, he explains to Kim.
"At 0800 hours, someone broke into the main lab and locked us out."
As one of the surveillance footage showed one of the doors that was locked, the lieutenant continued to explain.
"It appears their intended target is Project Phoebus."
"Which is...?" Kim asks.
"A top secret governmemt experiment." Lt. Franklin said.
"Which does...?" Kim asks again with a shrug.
"Project Phoebus is a level five security classofication." Franklin explained.
"Which means...?" Kim asked once more with her hands on her hips.
Now the lieutenant was getting frustrated as he shouts.
"Look! It means I don't know what the damn thing does! None of us do!"
Ron was hesitant as he asked.
"Um... you're joking, right?"
The lieutenant leans in with a straight face as he asks rhetorically.
"Is this the face of a joker, son?"
"Yeah. Not so much." Ron relies sheepishly.
Suddenly, one of the security cameras went online as it displayed live feed on the monitor, revealing Drakken and Shego in the lab while Kim noticed it in an instant.
"Uh... guys? Hello?"
As the monitor went back to being static, Kim says to the lieutanent.
"We need a way to get into that lab."
"The only way is through that tiny ventilation duct." Lt Franklin said as he pointed to the ceiling where the said duct was located.
As Kim looked at it, she said in response
"I think we can handle that."
Kim noticed Rufus popping out of Ron's pocket before she grabbed the little rodent. Eventually, Rufus, equipped with a miner's helm and flashlight, was placed into the vent.
"Once you're in, open the door." Kim instructs. "But keep it quiet."
As Rufus atared at Kim, the lieutanent closed the duct. Once it was sealed, the ventilation activated while the little rodent squeaked.
"Uh oh."
The air conditioning unit blows Rufus through the ventilation system as he ricochets off the walls. Eventually, as Shego activates the project to expand Drakken's IQ level, Rufus finally pops through, falling on the woman's head which knocked her down and shuts off the machinery. Drakken watches the little rodent run to the entrance and deactivates the lock. The doors reveal Kim and Ron on the other side of the entrance as the former snarked.
"Sorry, Drakken. Looks like your bad hair day just got worse."
"KIM POSSIBLE?!" Drakken gets up from his seat. "Every time you barge in, I just...! Oh! The anger...!"
Ron nodded as he said.
"Mm hm. Yeah. Keep talking." Ron draws a grappling hook gun equipped with a spear. "Your tongue isn't the only thing that's going to be tied."
Ron fires the gun, but he misses his target. Instead, the spear tip embeds into a wall. The recall cable pulls the blonde boy, sending him towards Drakken as they both crash into another computer. As Kim ran inside the lab, Shego got in the way as she quips while her hands glowed.
"Going somewhere, Kimmie?"
Kim grimaced before she rose up her fists and started fighting with Shego as Drakken got up from the wreckage, dazed. The fight went up to the stairs as Shego broke a piece of the rail off for Kim to use as a weapon. When the redhead blocked one of Shego's strikes, the mercenary taunted.
"What's the matter? No ghost boy to rescue you this time?"
"I'm no damsel in distress." Kim retorted.
Meanwhile, Drakken felt something crawling on him under his lab coat as he tried to reach for whatever caused it. Suddenly, Rufus popped out from the collar as he squeaked.
"Hello."
Then, Drakken grabs the litrle rodent as he said.
"Well, well. I believe it's time for a little... mole removal."
Right when Drakken was about to throw Rufus, Ron intervens by ramming a skiff into the good doctor. However, the blonde wasn't watching where he was going as he crashed into the chair of Project Phoebus, placing Drakken back into while Rufus landed on top of his head and Ron crashed into several barrels.
Back at the fight, Kim managed to kick Shego away as they fought on the floor once more. As the two continued to tussle, their fight took them right in front of the control console of the project. Once Shego charged at Kim, the redhead stuck her foot out to trip her opponent. Unfortunately, Shego landed on the controls which activated the machinery.
The dome lowers onto Drakken's head as electricity spsrked. Kim was distracted by that as Shego threw a barrel at the redhead, knocking her down before deactivating the project. Grinning with triumph, Drakken rose from the seat as he said victoriously.
"Yes! I can feel it working!"
Drakken and Shego retreat as Kim and Ron could only watch. Kim tried to chase their transport down, but she was outdistanced. As she walked back towards Ron, she said.
"At least Project Phoebus is safe."
"Yeah, whatever it is." Ron comments. "Come on, Rufus! We're homebound, baby!"
What no one realized was that instead of Drakken feeling the effects of the machine, it was a certain naked mole rat that did. Rufus had a blank expression for a minute before he ran towards his friends to catch up to them.
"Boy, that doc sure ain't as bright as you are, huh Pesto?" Squit comments.
"What do you mean by that?" Pesto asked with a glare.
"Nothing." Squit started sweating bullets. "I'm just sayin' that doc ain't too bright."
Pesto's anger flared up as he ranted.
"You sayin' that I'm some sort of broken down, dim lighrbulb?! What am I, some sort of drool monkey here to amuse you?!"
Suddenly, a loud metallic snikt was heard as the two pigeons see Deadpool raise his arm equipped with the gauntlet with the wrist blades extended.
"Yo, grapeface! You want to button your beak, or you wanna get diced and fried into pigeon nuggets?"
Pesto instantly became silent as the blades retracted before the merc lowered his arm.
"That sounded gross when you mentioned pigeon nuggets." the host author commented with disgust.
Deadpool shrugged as he said.
"Meh. I just don't want featherhead to start a tussle in your realm for no legitimate reason like he does in the show all the time."
"True."
The realm becomes silent as the chapter resumes.
It was late afternoon. At the Possible residence, Kim was in her room, on the phone, talking to Danny while her parents were away and Ron already returned home.
"I'm guessing Ron is still having a difficult time with his homework?" Danny asks through the other line.
"Unfortunately, yes." Kim said regrettably. "Even Wade was not able to tutor him."
"That's a bummer." Danny commented.
"Not to mention, the tweebs Jim and Tim just broke a window in the kitchen with one of their rockets they built." Kim explained while she rolled her eyes in annoyance.
It was silent for a second before Danny said.
"Hold that thought. Um... your name and the names of your brothers, is the name rhyming common in your family or does everybody follow that?"
Kim chuckled before she said.
"I think it's a popular trend here."
"Not so much back in my old town." Danny commented.
As they continued to talk, neither of them realized that events were about to unfold, starting with the next school session.
The next morning, while everyone else in class sat patiently, Ron was the only one with a confident smile on his face as he had his feet resting on the desk. Then, Miss Whisp approached the blonde boy as she said.
"Hello, Ronald. Since I found your homework sitting on my desk first thing this morning, I took the liberty of grading it, early."
"Yeah? Well is there a grade higher than A?" Ron asked in a bragging manner. "Or you just gonna make one up for me?"
As the teacher placed Ron's homework onto his desk, she said to him.
"We'll go with the traditional F."
The grade shocked Ron as he grabbed while he said.
"What?! B-But I did it longhand, showing my work and everything!"
Miss Whisp rose an eyebrow as she explained.
"Your assignment demonstrates a comprehension of not only algebra, but advanced calculus, and chaos theory mathematics."
"It does?" Kim asked in curiosity.
As Danny rose an eyebrow while subtly glancing at Ron, the teacher said in response.
"Yes." she lifts her glasses to rub her eyes before placing them back on. "Which means it was completed by someone else!" she glared at Ron in suspicion.
Danny's eyes widened as he thought to himself.
"Damn! The teachers here aren't clueless like the ones back at my old school."
Ron rose up his hand as he stood up and said.
"I swear, Miss. Whisp. No other... erm person did this assignment for me."
The teacher rose her eyebrow in suspicion before she said.
"Very well." Miss. Whisp walks towards a moveable chalkboard. "Based on the proficiency demonstrated in your homework," she flips to reveal an equation that was high college level that a professor could solve. "This PhD level equation should be easy-peasy for you."
In an instant, Ron was horror-stricken when he saw the equation and that he had to demonstrate the work to solve it. Hesitantly, he approaches the board, as he said nervously.
"Uh... y-yeah. Sure. Here I go."
No one noticed that Rufus crawled from Ron's pocket and into the sleeve of his shirt as the blonde grabbed the chalk. Ron subtly noticed Rufus making some communicative gestures as the blonde nodded. Suddenly, Ron was writing on the chalkboard as everyone watched with amazement. After he was finished, Ron turned around to face the class before Miss. Whisp said.
"Ronald, that's correct."
"Cool."
While Ron was busy making unamusing puns, a certain half-ghost was suspicious as he thought.
"Something's up. Kim told me that Ron's having trouble with math, and now this?"
All the while, Miss Whisp declared.
"The world has a new prodigy. There was Aristotle, Newton, Einstein, and now... Stoppable!"
As the math teacher hugged Ron, the blonde uttered only two words; words that would haunt him
"Uh oh!"
"He stuck his foot in it badly." Deadpool commented while shaking his head in disapproval.
"Yes, he did." guardian1989 replied. "Either he'll come clean or something worse will happen."
"I just hope it's the former." the merc said.
"Let's just wait and see."
The realm goes dark as the chapter resumes.
Eventually, Ron was on the stage of the amphitheater later in the day with several mathematicians watching the blonde as he was speaking with an advanced mathematical problem on display via the projector behind him.
"And um, as you can see, the rest is mathematical history." Ron rose a finger up. "Can I go now?"
While a mathmetician asked Ron to explain his procedure to finding exponents in polynomials, causing the boy to resort in demonstrating it instead, with a secret assistance from Rufus, Danny subtly motioned Kim to follow him to the hallway, after she spoke to Wade through her Kimmunicator. Even Jazz followed them. Once they were outside, the halfa asked in suspicion.
"I'm not the only one who finds Ron's sudden intelligence... odd, am I?"
"I find it suspicious, too." Kim said in response. "I'm surprised that you're on the same train as I am."
"The faculty at our old high school would be clueless when the A-Listers would bully the intelligent students to get them to do their homework for them." Jazz explained.
Danny paused for a second before he said.
"Somehow, I got a feeling that Ron's intelligence is not really his own."
Kim rose an eyebrow as she asked.
"What makes you so sure?"
"Let's just say, I got a small hunch." Danny said.
It wasn't long until the evening before news media covered reports on Ron's supposed intellect and his developments such as designing plans for a new space station, creating the first cold fusion, and finished Schubert's Symphony. When they asked for a comment, Ron merely said that he only wanted to pass algebra.
Meanwhile, in a secret lair, Drakken declared to supposedly Shego as he was in front of a desk.
"And now, Shego, I shall use my newly acquired brilliance to begin the design of my doomsday device!"
As the scientist doodled on a paper, Drakken spoke again.
"Yes! I can feel my brilliance blossoming! It's as if my hand is but a humble servant to the power of my advanced mind."
All the while, Shego had a tray of food in her hands as she rolled her eyes in annoyance as Drakken was finalizing his designs. Once he was finished, he showed his "design" to his sidekick as he asked.
"So, what do you think?"
However, Drakken's design was nothing more than a childish doodle of a house as Shego stared at it, critically before she said while crossing her arms.
"Um, nothing personal, but it doesn't exactly scream doomsday or brilliance."
Drakken looked it over before he said in response.
"Nonsense! It must be so advanced that your puny intellect cannot grasp it!" he designs another doodle. "What do you think of this one?"
Shego looks at it with a raised eyebrow, as she said.
"A puppy and a horsy. Cute."
As the woman walked away, Drakken looked at the design with criticism of his own before he started doodling again.
"How long until my boy goes into his first mission?" Deadpool asked the host.
"Soon, my friend. Soon." the host author said in response.
"Please, peanut! I'm dying of suspense, just as I'm sure the readers out there are as well." the merc literally begged.
The next day at Middleton, class was almost about to begin as Ron opened his locker, causing some of his textbooks to spill out before Kim said in suspicion.
"Well, look who's back from his whirlwind press tour."
With a stretch, Ron said in response.
"Yep." he taps his head. "Tapped into a little inner genius, and suddenly everybody wants a piece of me."
As Kim was opening her locker, Ron continued as he said.
"Enough about me, what have you been up to?"
"Saw the sequel to Potential Boy." Kim said as she closed her locker. "It was called Genius Boy." Kim cupped her chin before crossing her arms in suspicion. "Good acting, but the plot seemed a bit farfetched."
Rufus subtly popped out of Ron's pants pocket as he silently squeaked.
"Uh oh."
"What is up with the whiz kid deal?" Kim asked suspiciously.
Ron was nervous as he sheepishly said while rubbing the back of his neck.
"Well, you know how it is. I'm just a late bloomer, you know." he slicks his hair back. "First with the ladies, and now this."
"Did I miss the ladies' bloom?" Kim asked in suspicion.
No one noticed that when Wade challenged Ron to a battle of geniuses, a certain halfa was nearby as he silently watched Ron supposedly typing on the computer keyboard. As Wade admitted that Ron was the "genius," Miss Whisp escorted him to the auditorium to rehearse for another press conference, Kim asked to no one in particular,
"Could this get any more wrong?"
Suddenly, Kim heard a familiar voice.
"Actually, it can."
The redhead looked in the direction before she saw someone familiar.
"Danny? How long have you been there?" she asks.
"Long enough to see that my hunch was actually correct." Danny said.
Through the screen, Wade sees Danny as well as he said in a teasing manner.
"Oh, so that's your boyfriend, Danny, you told me about."
"Wade! Danny's not my boyfriend." Kim denied with a glare as she whispered to herself. "At least not yet anyway."
Danny rose an eyebrow as he thought
"She told him about me? Who else has she told?"
His thoughts were interrupted as Kim asked.
"So, what were you saying about your hunch being correct?"
"Oh, yeah." Danny began to explain. "When I was watching Ron getting quizzed by your friend here," he pointed to Wade on the computer screen. "I saw his movements, and underneath one of his sleeves, Rufus is the real genius behind Ron's supposed intelligence."
Wade was silent at first as he mulled it over before he said.
"I think with Danny's information, things are all starting to make sense, now."
Jazz was nearby, as well as she asked.
"Since when did Ron's pet become a super genius in the first place?"
In that instant, Kim remembers her previous mission, as she said.
"Come to think of it, it was right after we got back from that lab in Iowa."
"I think it's best if you look further into this." Danny suggested.
"Yeah, you're right." Kim said in agreement. "But I'm probably going to need a partner." she pondered. "Who can I...?"
Kim realized that her answer was right next to her before she focused her gaze at Danny, who rose an eyebrow in confusion as he asked.
"What?"
Then, Kim began to ask.
"Danny? Would you...?"
Suddenly, Danny's eyes widened in an uh-oh manner, knowing what she was going to ask him as he said in defiance.
"Oh no. No! Just because I'm from a city that was haunted by ghosts doesn't mean I'm going to...!"
He stopped when Kim pulled her signature move; the puppy dog pout, as she asked, sounding like she was going to cry.
"Please?"
As Kim's lip quivered, Danny's jaw dropped in shock, seeing her pull that move as he tried to look away.
"Are you... are you serious?!"
Danny shuts his eyes for a second before taking a peek to see Kim still using that look on him. He sighed in defeat with a smile before he said.
"Oh, okay. I'll go."
"Yes!" Kim shouts with a fist pump.
In gratitude, she hugged Danny before planting a kiss on his cheek. Jazz smirked as she said in a sly tone.
"Make sure she's home before curfew."
Danny shot a glare at his older sister.
"Jazz...!"
As Jazz chuckled, Kim led Danny away to go with her to do a little digging in the Iowa lab. Despite the predicament, the halfa couldn't help but have a small smile on his face.
Eventually, above the state of Iowa, there was a plane that resembled an old model used in the first world war but there were 3 cockpits, Danny, Kim, and a pilot that the latter knew, flying in the skies. Also, the halfa was in a spare mission gear that Kim lent him.
"Thanks for the ride, Bernice." Kim said in gratitude.
"Well, you know, it's the least I can do after you saved my artists' colony from that dam break last year." Bernice said in response.
As Kim and Danny were strapping on their parachutes, preparing to jump, the former said.
"No, big. It was like patching up a crack in my fish tank back home, only it took a lot more gum."
As they were about to jump, Danny glanced at Kim and said to her.
"You help out this pilot, and it was no big to you? I'm impressed."
Kim blushed a bit before both teens jumped off the plane. The redhead and the halfa were freefalling from the sky. Kim taps Danny's shoulder to get his attention before she points to a certain cabin that they were supposed to find per Wade's instructions. At the right moment, they opened their parachutes with a pull of the pin as Danny and Kim landed onto the ground safely.
As they were approaching the cabin, Danny asked.
"Is this place?"
"Yep. Wade's info was correct on this guy." Kim said as she looked at a picture on her Kimmunicator
A second after knocking on the door, a man with dark gray hair and a beard that looked like he didn't shave in years answered the door while asking the two teens.
"What are you two? Land developers, tax collectors?"
"Is that him?" Danny asked.
"That's him." Kim said as she focused her attention while pocketing her PDA. "Dr. Zeruda, we need to talk to you about a device you developed for the government. You may be the only person who actually knows what it does."
In response, Zeruda tried to close the door on them, but Danny used to his foot to stop him from shutting it completely as he asked.
"Does the name Project Phoebus ring any bells?"
The scientist pondered for a bit before he opened the door once more and said.
"Oh, well... come in."
Back at Drakken's lair, the good doctor tried fervently to create a design of a doomsday device, but every time he did so, it ended up being childish doodles as Shego comments with heavy criticism to try again.
"It doesn't make sense!" Drakken snapped as he slammed his fist on the desk. "I was in the chair. The beam surged. We all saw it!" he walks away from the desk. "Why am I not...!" Drakken paused while scratching his head. "More brilliant...? Brillianter...?! More brillianter?!"
Suddenly, Shego sees news footage on a small TV screen as she said.
"Dr. D. Check this out."
The news coverage showed Middleton Mall as a reporter announced Ron showcasing the cure for the common cold in the morning of the next day. Despite watching with interest, Drakken was confused as he asked.
"Ron Stoppable? Help me out."
"Kim Possible's dopey sidekick." Shego answered with her hands on her hips.
As Drakken ripped the monitor off the floor in a tantrum, he rants like a five-year-old.
"Since when is he a genius?!" he was about to slam the monitor onto the floor. "I'm the one that...!"
Suddenly, Drakken stops himself as he simply drops the appliance as said.
"Wait a second. That boy has my brains," he slams his fist into his palm. "And I want them back!"
"Looks like things are about to get worse for Ron, much worse." Deadpool comments.
"Yeah, from the looks of it." guardian1989 said in response.
"Before we go back to the chapter, mind if I say something to the readers out there?" the merc asks.
"Go ahead." the author obliged.
The merc faces the audience as he said.
"To all of you nerds out there, hold on to your spectral sock. Now, it's going to get good."
The realm goes silent as the chapter resumes.
Back in Iowa, Danny and Kim were served some tea, as the latter asked.
"So, let me get this straight, Project Phoebus contains the brainwaves of the most brilliant scientists?"
Dr. Zeruda said while holding the tea kettle.
"We all used to be poker buddies. Gates, Nash, Salk." he sets the tea kettle aside on a boiler. "They were all over one night." he rubbed his hands together. "I wanted to try out my new project. Bing-bang-boom! The rest is history."
As he was using a ladle to serve some sort of soup, Kim asked.
"So, if someone like say, my friend Ron were to accidentally get struck by the beam...?"
"It would turn him into an unparalleled genius." Zeradu answered. "But not permanently."
"Run that by me, again?" Danny asked.
"The effects of the Project Phoebus are only temporary. I'd give it about two to four days before it wears off." Dr. Zeradu explained.
"Does someone have to be in the device in order for it to work?" Danny asks with his arms crossed and a raised eyebrow.
"Why, yes." Zeradu said. "If that Drakken fellow would've got his mitts on those brainwaves, it would spell disaster if he had that much brain power."
As Dr. Zeradu took his seat after serving himself some squirrel stew, pieces of the puzzle were falling into place for Danny and Kim as the latter said.
"So, if Drakken tried to increase his own brain power..."
Danny's eyes widened as he said.
"Rufus must've intercepted him and got those brain waves instead, and Ron is passing it off as his own."
Both teens look at one another with worry, as they both say in sync.
"Drakken will think that Ron is the genius and will come after him!"
Back in Middleton, the sun was beginning to set as Ron was at a press conference as he once again passed off his scheme that he and his pet naked mole rat subtly cooked up while the blonde boy points to a chalkboard while explaining in his own way while getting nervous as well. However, right after he asked if there were any other questions, the ceiling explodes as everyone noticed. Through the hole, they see a hovercraft with Drakken and Shego inside, as the former said.
"I have a question. Care for a lift?"
An energy beam shot down on Ron as he began to float up to the vehicle in a manner of being abducted by aliens. As Ron struggled to get free, Rufus managed to escape while journalists fled the scene. Once Ron was inside, the hovercraft flew away while Rufus could only watch.
Suddenly, Danny and Kim, followed by Jazz, burst into the room as they survey the damage and see Rufus on the floor.
"We're too late." Kim said in regret.
It was night as Danny was at Kim's house. James and Ann were gone while Jazz was with the halfa and the heroine. Luckily for Kim, her parents are working overtime while Jazz was with the two.
"Still nothing?" Kim asks.
"Stand by. I'm checking a few more leads." Wade said through the Kimmunicator.
"Looks like Ron's little lie has landed in some major hot water." Jazz commented.
The Fenton girl was up to speed on the current situation since her brother informed her of the details.
"What I'm worried about is what Drakken will do when he finds out that Rufus is the real genius instead of Ron." Danny said, completely concerned.
All the while, Rufus was painting per Kim's suggestion to keep himself occupied. Soon, Danny said to Kim.
"Kim, I'll be back. I need to get some stuff back at my house."
"Okay. Be sure to meet me at the corner where my house is." Kim instructed. "I don't know when my folks are coming home, and I don't know how my dad will react if he sees a boy, other than Ron, here."
Danny nodded before he and Jazz make their exit.
"I assume we're getting to the good parts, soon?" Deadpool asked.
"Yeah. Just be patient." guardian1989 assured.
"Sorry. I'm just excited is all."
At the lair, Drakken was dragging Ron by the shirt down the hall as he said.
"So, Kim Possible's sidekick thinks he can stick his nose into my business and steal my precious brainwaves."
"Okay, believe or not. That's not how it went down." Ron said. "You see..."
Drakken interrupts him
"Shush, boy! Now is not the time for words. Now is the time for action." Drakken cupped his chin. "Well, actually thought. Yes." Drakken lifts Ron. "Now is the time for thought followed soon after by action!"
Drakken tossed Ron into an open lab that had boxes of junk. The blonde boy forgot about his life being in danger as he said.
"Ooh! Having a garage sale?"
Drakken approaches Ron as he said.
"You, boy, will use these supplies and your stolen genius to build me a horrific doomsday device!" he has a triumphant smile.
"Yeah. Sorry to throw a wrench in the works." Ron stands up with his arms crossed. "But it's just not gonna happen, because erm..."
Drakken turns around as he says
"Oh, it's going to happen." he walks to a red button on a wall nearby. "Because if it doen't..."
With a push of the red button, part of the floor caves in as Ron backs away, revealing a pool filled with piranhas as one of them leaps out of the water, biting the air dangerously close to Ron before falling into the water. The blonde was startled as he got the message. Rolling up his sleeve, Ron rubs his hands together as he said.
"Okay, who's up for a doomsday device?"
Back the Fenton residence, Danny was in the Ops Center, clad in the spare mission gear that Kim lent him as he was arming himself with a few Fenton Works weapons and gadgets.
"When do you plan on telling Kim about your..." Jazz paused to look around and saw that the coast was clear. "secret identity?"
"That's what I'm trying to figure out, Jazz." Danny said as he pockets the Jack o Nine Tails. "I don't know how Kim will react to it."
"I suggest you tell her soon because the longer you wait, the more angry she might get." Jazz said.
"I thought trying to tell mom and dad would be tough. Telling Kim is the hardest." Danny comments.
Suddenly, Danny's cellphone goes off before he answered it.
"Hello?"
"Danny, it's Kim." Kim said through the other line. "I've found out where Drakken is hiding."
Back at the lair, Drakken was pacing the floors of the hall before he went to the door and demands.
"Is it ready yet, boy?!"
"Uh, it may be in another... two or three... or 16 weeks." Ron nervously said. "Say, now might be a great time to take that super freak singles cruise you've been thinking about."
Suddenly, Drakken bursts through the door in anger, startling Ron as he said in a threatening manner.
"That doomsday device better work! Otherwise, you'll be swimming with the fish." he looks back at Shego who was filing her nails. "Fish, right? Or is it fishes?"
"Fish or fishes." Shego said.
"Well, which is it?" Drakken asked in frustration.
"Both are correct plural forms of the singular word, fish." Shego explained.
Drakken narrows his eyes in annoyance as he asked with his arms crossed
"You're very smug right now, aren't you?"
"A little bit." Shego snarked in response.
Outside, Danny and Kim arrive at the address of Drakken's lair as the ghost boy looks up at the tall building.
"This is the place?" he asked.
"Yep, this is it." Kim said in response.
The redhead hands a spare grappling hook gun to Danny before aiming hers. She fires it and gets to the roof in an instant.
"Now, Danny, use caution with that." Kim warns. "You might..."
Kim is interrupted when Danny fires his and he makes it to the roof, meeting up with Kim. The redhead was staring wide-eyed as the halfa said.
"Piece of cake."
"I'm surprised your pants are still on." Kim comments.
Danny rose an eyebrow as he asked.
"Uh... when did our relationship get to that stage?"
Kim realized what she said as she stammered.
"I... I-I-I didn't mean it that way. I mean, Ron's pants would get launched sometimes and...!" she sees Danny give a weirded out look. "Nevermind. Let's just get Ron and go."
Back inside, Ron was finished the device as he nervously said while gesturing the construct covered by a large sheet.
"Okay, here it is. My doomsday device. Right here under the sheet, or as they say in France, "mon device day day doom.""
All the while, Drakken was getting annoyed before he shouts at Ron.
"SHOW IT TO ME!"
Ron runs to the sheet as he pulls it off while announcing
"Drakken, Shego, I give you... The Mangler!"
It turns out that the device was nothing more than junk slapped together as Drakken's jaw dropped in disappointment before he faced Ron with his hands behind his back.
"Well, Mr. Stoppable, have fun with the fish." Drakken walks over to the red button and pressed it. " Or fishes!"
The floor gave way further as Ron tried to avoid it. However, when Ron was about to fall, Danny pulls out a hi-tech cube before it unfolds into the Wraith Wrangler as it attaches to his arm and fired the lasso from his wrist. The net catches Ron before reeling in the boy back to the floor.
"You modified this when my back was turned, didn't you?" Danny asked Rufus.
"Uh huh." Rufus squeaked with a nod.
"Rufus, you are one rocking mole rat." Kim compliments.
The two teens jump in through the opem window and land 40 feet away from Drakken and Shego as Ron noticed.
"KP!"
Drakken and Shego noticed as well before the former noticed Danny and asked.
"Who is he?"
Shego merely rolled her eyes before she said
"Really, Dr. D? It's Kimmie's boyfriend we first saw at the mall."
Ron was shocked as he shouts.
"WHAT?!"
"We're just casually dating." Kim simply states.
"Whatever! Shego! Attack!" Drakken ordered.
Shego charged in at Kim. However, she was intercepted when Danny placed on a Fenton Wrist Ray and shot her down. The redhead looked at Danny as she saw him tossing the Jack o Nine Tails to her.
"I'll distract her! Take this. You'll need it more than me!"
After catching the device, Kim nods before she goes to help Ron. All the while, Shego gets up and focused her attention on Danny as she charged up her hands with her powers
"Big mistake, lover boy."
Shego leapee at Danny who dodged her narrowly as he took aim with Wrist Ray and fired again. However, the mercenary countered with blasts of her own. One of her blasts hits Danny's weapon, forcing him to discard it before grabbing the Fenton Lightsaber out.
In another area, Drakken watched with glee before he faced Kim and Ron as he said.
"While Shego deals with your boyfriend, Kim Possible, you'll be dealing with these." he looks at a shutter door. "Armours, advance!"
From the shutter doors, robot knights armed with laser axes advance towards the teens, making them back up to the pond behind them.
"Oh, come on!" Ron complained. "What happend to your regular henchmen?!"
"They're at a wedding."
While Kim and Ron were distracted by the robots that fired lasers from the spear-tipped ends of their axes, Danny had his hands full with Shego as the boy kept blocking her attacks when she tried to claw him. Suddenly, when he sees an opening, Danny does a sweep attack and knocks his opponent off her feet. However, Shego counterattacks as she jumps to her feet and clawed at the sword, cutting the hilt in half.
"Not too shabby, but you'll need more than toys to keep me down." Shego snarked.
Danny backed away a bit in fear while Shego grinned as she slowly approached. However, the halfa noticed the bookshelf next to him before he pushed towards Shego, forcing her to move aside as it fell with a crash. As the woman looked to see that Danny was running away, she followed him in hot pursuit while firing energy blasts at him.
With Kim and Ron, they were getting pushed back further to the pond full of piranhas. Suddenly, as they fell, Kim pulls out the Jack o Nine Tails and fires it at a ceiling pipe. The metallic coils wrap around the concstruct as Kim grabs Ron and swings him to safety. Unfortunately, he lands into his poorly built device and accidentally activates it.
With Danny, he managed to evade Shego as he used his ghost powers to pull it off when she couldn't see him do it. Thankfully, there were no cameras anywhere in the lair as he found himself in a room where a vault was.
Leaning to a wall, Danny catches his breath as he thinks outloud.
"Okay. How do I deal with Shego? Come on, Fenton. Think."
Looking around, not only did Danny see the vault open, but there were garbage bags on one side of the room. Seeing that the floor was tile, an idea began to form in the halfa's mind as he slowly smiled.
Eventually, Shego bursts through the same room, looking for him. She, too, sees the vault and inside, something that looked like a pile or someone probably hiding in the pile as she rolled her eyes.
"Oh, come on, kid. You have to do better than that."
Shego didn't realize that her target was floating above her, invisibly as he watched her movemenrs. Right when the woman took one step forward, she instantly lost her footing in a slip.
"Whoa!"
Suddenly, Shego was sliding forward too fast as if she stepped on solid ice. She cried out as she waved her arms, trying to keep balance while sliding forward. Then, as Shego went off a tiny hill, she was launched into the air as she screamed. All the while, Danny put his hand next to his ear as he said.
"C sharp..."
Shego lands into the garbage pile in the vault with a crash. The woman groaned as she blacked out from the impact while a banana peel landed on her head with a splat.
"Or B flat." Danny finished. "Music to my ears."
The halfa flies to the vault to close it and uses his ghost ray to weld the door shut. As he dusted his hands, he said.
"That should take care of her." he turns to the opening. "Now to help Kim and Ron."
While Danny ran off, he didn't notice or hear the steel door being pounded on for a few seconds before it started to glow green and began melting.
Back with the others, Ron's device began to spin around as it began to spin around and fire lasers all over the place.
"Hey! It works! My doomsday device actually works.!"
The laser began to destroy Drakken's lair and his robotic knights as the scientist could only watch in horror. As Kim used her momentum to swing herself to safety, the good doctor thought it was time to run.
"I... better get out of here."
However, a thick lasso rope wraps around his body, as Drakken noticed.
"WHAT?!"
He looks back to see Danny give the rope a tight pull, which knocks the scientist off of his feet, making him grunt from the fall.
"You okay?" Danny called to Kim.
Suddenly, before Kim could respond, Danny was pulled back and then pinned to the floor by a pissed-off, garbage-covered Shego as the halfa noticed a foul odor.
"Whoa! Did you take a dip in the dumpster?"
"Very funny, little punk!" Shego snapped as she raised one of her glowing hands, ready to strike. "I don't know how you did that back there, but you're not getting out of this, alive."
Danny sees movement behind Shego as he says in a warning manner
"You might want to look behind you."
"Yeah. Nice try."
However, the woman felt someone tap her shoulder. Looking back, Shego sees Kim behind her with her fist clenched.
"Hands off him, Shego!"
With one punch, Kim knocked Shego off Danny and out cold. As the halfa was helped up to his feet by the redhead, Ron finally stopped the device before stepping off, trying to regain his equilibrium.
Outisde the lair, the police were taking Drakken and Shego away as the former rants.
"This isn't over, Kim Possible! For you, your sidekick, or your boyfriend! You capture us, and we'll come back more evil than before." he is forced to sit down next to Shego. "And eviler! Not less evil!"
Shego rolled her eyes as she said in annoyance.
"Please, stop talking."
When the vehicle takes the villains away, Kim asks out of concern.
"Are you okay?" she has a look of regret. "And sorry that a few of your toys got wrecked."
"I'm okay." Danny said in response. "Although, I'll admit I haven't had this sort of adventure since... ever."
Kim placed her hands on her hips with a smirk as she said.
"To be honest, I'm impressed how well you did for a first timer."
As Danny blushed, Ron finally noticed what he was wearing as he said.
"Dude! You rock in that outfit! It's a crime! " he turns around and points his finger and arm up into the air. "No one emulates Ron Stoppable!"
Danny lifts his hands in a calm down manner as he said.
"Chill, Ron. I'm not getting a naked mole rat as a pet any time soon."
Ron faced Danny as he said.
"Well, you should. They're the best pets, ever!"
"Uh huh." Rufus squeaked.
The next day, school had already ended as students were going home. Kim meets Danny at his locker as he sees her coming.
"So," Danny closed his locker door. "How much longer until Ron's off the hook?"
Kim glanced away as she said in response.
"Probably until next year, but who knows. Miss Whisp was pretty steamed when she found out Ron was lying the whole time."
"Major bummer." Danny said with a cringed look.
Then, the halfa remembered something as he said.
"By the way, this weekend I'm heading to Amity Park to drop in on my friends, Sam and Tucker. Do you want to come along with me?"
"And see your hometown as a bonus? You bet." Kim said with a smirk. "I'll be sure to invite Ron, too."
Danny shrugged as he said.
"Sure. The more, the merrier. So, I'll see you on Saturday in the morning?"
"Please and thank you." Kim said with a smile.
As the redhead gave Danny a kiss, neither of them realized that a certain blonde boy watched as his jaw dropped in sync with the naked mole rat's jaw dropping as well.
However, Danny had only thought in mind about the upcoming trip to his old home.
"I just hope Sam's in a listening mood."
And finally done. With real-life situations, getting a commission side gig ready, and fanarts being worked on, really got in the way of completing this chapter. Stay tuned for the next chapter where Danny and Kim spend the day in Amity Park.
The lights go on as the chapter was near completion.
"The part where green babe slipped on the floor, you got that reference from the film Casper when the crazy blonde lady tried to kill her stooge to make him a ghost, didn't you?" Deadpool asked.
"Just wanted to add a little humor of Danny humiliating Shego in a way." guardian1989 said.
Then, the Goodfeathers land on the table near the two as Bobby said in a complimentary tone
"Hey, we just want to say again, thanks for inviting us."
"Yeah, I'm sure readers would come by to view this chapter." Pesto comments. "Maybe hundreds."
"Billions." Squit said.
A bad move.
"What do you mean billions?" Pesto asked with a glare.
"Huh?"
"What are you, some kind of smart guy?" Pesto waves his wings hysterically. "I say hundreds and you got to top me by saying billions?!"
"No." Squit nervously said. "I'm just saying there are billions of readers out there."
"So, you're saying I don't know the difference between hundreds and billions! Is that it?!" Pesto points a finger feather at Squit.
"What's the difference?" Bobby asks. "There's a lot of readers out there! Forget about it."
Pesto points his finger at Squit again as he continues to rant.
"Mister Carl Saigon Einstein doesn't think I can count, is that it?!"
"No! No! I didn't say that." Squit said with his wings up
"DAT'S IT! YOU WANT A BILLION! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!"
Pesto starts to comically pummel Squit as an enormous dust cloud formed as the birds were ranting and begging while Bobby tries to calm them down.
"Hey! Knock it off, you guy! What are you crazy?!"
As Bobby gets pulled in to the brawl, the merc and the author shook their heads in annoyance.
"I knew he would screw up." Deadpool comments in annoyance.
"For the love of Mike..." guardian1989 said, equally annoyed.
The Warners are about to leave as Yakko said.
"See you in the next chapter."
"Just to give you all a heads up," the author gestures to the birds still fighting. "Including them, I'm going to have a guest or two coming in more frequently starting in the next chapter. Furthermore, I'm going to have a special guest coming in as well, just for one time only."
"Oh, okay." Wakko said.
"Looking forward to meeting them." Dot adds.
As the Warners leave, Deadpool takes his leave as well.
"Later."
"Later days."
As the author looks back the Goodfeathers, who finally stopped fighting, he prepares to hit the switch as he said.
"Til next time."
Bag of Holding: Sorry about taking long. I hope this chapter satisfies your wait.
Rock1030: Yes, it will. You'll see how, soon.
DJ Rodriguez: Well, Rufus is more observant than Ron.
Jebest4781, iamshinydragonmist: You will see soon enough.
Dark Shark (guest): Thank you.
danifan3000: , she most likely hasn't and never will.
2. You got to remember that in the episode, Parental Bonding, Paulina DID reveal her true colors to Sam when Team Phantom tried to retrieve the Amulet of Aragon from the Latina after the halfa accidentally gave it to her.
3. You'll see how Danny will find that out soon.
Njistar: With how stubborn Sam can be, she probably won't get over it in a short amount of time. It'll take a LONG time for her to do so.
