“Ok,” said Kim. “I've seen Cinderblock, I'm guessing the walking pile of purple snot is Plasmus - but who's the electric freak?”
“Overload.” Cyborg growled. “Another of Slade's cronies.”
“So, like, what do we do - get him wet?” asked Shego.
“Uh, yeah – actually, you do,” nodded a surprised Beast Boy.
“Alright then…Shego and I'll take him,” said Kim.
Shego was more than surprised. “What? Kimmie, he's electric.”
Kim just took out her communicator. “Wade, I need a map of the water pipes around here.”
“Gotcha,” came the half-static response from Wade. “And…there ya go.”
“Why haven't they attacked us yet?” asked Ron, looking around.
Kim studied the data from Wade. “Hurry up, Kimmie…” said Shego, beginning to feel the same apprehension as Ron.
“Got it. Shego, aim there, there - and there.” Kim pointed at three spots around Overload.
Shego grinned. “Can do, Pumpkin.”
“Pumpkin? Shego, can’t you just-”
“WAAHH! NOW THEY'RE ATTACKING US!” screamed Ron, pointing.
Indeed, now the three Slade cronies were charging the group. Shego quickly blasted the spots Kim had pointed to. Water poured from the busted pipes, splashing down all over Overload – who quickly dissipated into his harmless computer chip main body, which Shego picked up.
“Man, these guys are weaker than I thought…”
At that, Plasmus shrieked and launched goopy tentacles at her & Kim, trapping them against the opposite rock wall in slimy webs. “One?” said Shego, “Take that back. Two?”
Kim shuddered. “Oohh, yuck!”
“My thoughts exactly.” Shego winked at Kim. “HRRAHH!” She had a hand free & used her green energy to free herself from the disgusting slime. She turned and blasted Kim free, catching the falling redhead before Kim hit the ground. “C’mon, Kimmie – let’s fry this pile of snot.”
Ron suddenly appeared by the women, running from Cinderblock.
“Kim! Shego! Ron! RUN!” yelled Beast Boy. As they did so, Beast Boy turned into a T-Rex, ROARED, and barreled into Cinderblock.
Then Cyborg came out of nowhere. “You fell once, you're gonna fall again!” he bellowed as he fired his sonic cannon at Cinderblock’s neck.
In the cavern where Terra lay, forty or so Slade-Bots were trapped in dark energy and dismantled by Raven in 3 attacks. But more appeared and attacked her. Starfire zipped through line after line of Slade-Bots, dismantling and destroying them as they attacked her – and kept on coming.
“Robin!” said Starfire as she defended herself. “I have concluded that there is a massive number of robots present!”
“It doesn’t matter!” Robin rolled into a hiding spot, taking out some more Slade-Bots as he went. “WE PROTECT TERRA - NO MATTER WHAT!”
Back in the other cavern, Shego sent a green energy blast at Plasmus – but it only served to anger the walking snot. T-Rex Beast Boy changed into a bird to escape the oncoming angry Plasmus.
Then Kim had an idea. “Hey guys - why don't we try and get them to crash into each other?”
“Yeah!” Ron stopped. “Now, how do we get them to do that?”
Shego blasted Cyborg free of a Plasmus web with her green energy.
Beast Boy changed back to human. “I know! Rufus and I can distract em! But, he'd have to travel a bit gripped in talons—”
Rufus popped up, protesting with the equivalent of “Hey, no problem!”
“What’d he say?” Beast Boy asked Ron.
“Well, he’s using a weird dialect for some reason, but I believe he said this plan is a GO!” answered Ron.
“Shego and I can provide cover fire,” said Cyborg.
The idea immediately hit Kim. “And Ron & I'll slip into Slade's lair!”
“Yeah!” Ron pumped his fist – then looked around. “Wait, what?”
“Sweet!” said Beast Boy. “Let's do it, then!”
“C'mon, Ron!” said Kim, grabbing him and ducking away.
Beast Boy turned into a hawk and gently picked up Rufus. Shego and Cyborg dove to opposite sides and fired at Cinderblock. Hawk Beast Boy swooped in front of Plasmus - where Rufus taunted the gooey beast, sticking out his tounge and such. Cinderblock, annoyed by Shego and Cyborg’s fire, charged - as Plasmus, also annoyed, shrieked and fired hundreds of tentacled goop blasts. Rufus covered his eyes as hawk Beast Boy expertly dodged every one. The goop blasts all slammed into Cinderblock - who roared from being blinded, stumbled around, and crashed into Plasmus. The impact knocked out Cinderblock - and lefts Plasmus to fall on top of the concrete monster - asleep, in human form.
“Alright! Go Beast Boy and Rufus!” celebrated Cyborg
Beast Boy dropped Rufus gently, turned back to human, and shook the naked mole rat’s hand.
In the cavern with Terra, Raven took out more Slade-Bots.
And none came to attack her.
“No more?” She looked around.
Starfire was overjoyed. “And Terra remains unscathed! Glorious!”
“It's not over yet!” said Robin. “C'mon! We still have to catch up to the others!” He ran off. The girls followed suit, flying off right behind him.
In Slade’s underground lair, Kim & Ron dropped in, on a catwalk directly above the tied-up Jim Possible, Tim Possible, Hego, Mego, and Wego 1 & Wego 2. Jim & Tim, looking up, saw Kim & almost cried her name before she locked eyes with them & quickly threw a finger to her lips. She did the same gesture to Ron, and quickly scanned the area above the hostages for the miniature Supernova Death Ray. Then she found it. She silently took out her laser lipstick, set two levers on the side to “WIDE” & “SUN,” aimed it at the miniature Supernova Death Ray - and turned on the laser. As expected, a wide beam shout out, easily disintegrating the miniature Supernova Death Ray. Ron silently celebrated.
“Kim Possible.” Slade was literally right behind her.
Ron freaked, ducking behind Kim as she turned around. “WAHH! How does he always do that?”
“The jig's up, Slade.” Kim planted her feet. “You just lost.”
“On the contrary, cheerleader-” POW! His punch sent her into Ron. The two tumbled over the catwalk's guardrail and down to the level below. Slade looked down. “The jig has just begun.”
Ron grimaced as he got up, “Ow! Oh, I'm gonna have a mark from that…”
Slade leapt the guardrail and landed - on two feet - right in front of Kim, who'd gotten up, but was holding her shoulder, which hurt like a bitch from her crash into the cold, hard ground.
“Okay, that guy is in really good shape,” muttered Ron.
Slade and Kim circled each other. Then Slade charged. Kim tried to block him, but Slade's kick went right through it & sent her sailing across the room and slamming into some huge gears.
“Scratch that-” said Ron. “SHE's gonna have a mark.”
Slade walked towards Kim. “Foolish girl. I've controlled a girl much more powerful than you, and yet you somehow think you can defeat me?” Kim threw a punch, but Slade caught her fist. Kim yelped at the pain that coursed through her arm at the impact and somehow wrenched her arm back from him, holding it, nursing the injury that had just been dealt to it.
“Unlike me,” continued Slade, “You're not in good shape.”
He kicked Kim in the gut viciously. Kim again sailed across the room and slammed into more huge gears. Her communicator landed next to her - the screen shattered, the device busted.
“KIM!” cried Jim and Tim.
“KP!” Ron echoed the Twins’ worry.
Slade walked towards Kim, raising his arm. “Hmm…I'll show you some respect, girl.”
Kim braced for the punch - but Slade's fist was stopped on the backswing. Kim looked up.
“Yeah, you wanna know the first rule about gettin’ a woman to respect you? DON'T HIT HER.”
POW! Shego's green energy juiced-up punch sent Slade crashing twice as far and through two rows of huge gears.
“Alright, Shego!” cried Ron.
“Shego?” asked Hego, Mego, and Wego 1 and Wego 2 at the same time.
Shego was instantly at Kim's side as Kim struggled to move. “Kimmie! Don't try to move!”
On the other side of the room, Slade got up. He nonchalantly brushed himself off.
Kim grabbed Shego’s hand, weakly. “Sh - Shego…”
“Dammit, Kimmie! I said don't move!” Shego scolded.
Kim looked into Shego’s eyes.
Not embarrassment, actually…
“S - stand by me, Shego…”
Love.
Shego grabbed ahold of Kim, protectively tucking the redhead's face against her body. She tightened her grip on Kim's hand, and looked deep into Kim’s eyes. She knew what Kim was trying to tell her – because she discovered it was exactly the same way she felt about Kim.
“I - I'll always stand by you, Kimmie.”
“It - it's K - it's Kim…” Kim promptly passed out.
“Kim?” Shego shook Kim – but to no avail. “KIM! KIMMIE, WAKE UP! KIM!”
“So.” Slade moved forward. “My apprentice chooses to return.”
Shego's rage boiled as he approached her.
Slade cocked his head. “How unfortunate.”
Shego couldn’t take it. “RRAAAHHH!” she roared as she dive tackled Slade and sent another green energy juiced up punch into his chest as they came out of the roll.
Slade went flying into the air. Shego conjured up a MASSIVE ball of green energy and hurled it at his back. It slammed into the airborne Slade with so much force that when he crashed into the bottom of the catwalk above him, marks from the catwalk were left in the front of his suit as he fell.
“Wanna know why I wasn't your apprentice for a very long time, Slade?” Shego stepped over him. “Because I'm not your apprentice. I'm Shego.”
“You're nothing,” Slade spoke as he got up.
“Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!” The cry was not Slade or Shego. They looked as dark energy engulfed the hostages’ rope - and the coloured energies trapped in it returned to Hego, Mego, & Wego 1 & 2.
Instantly, Hego snapped the rope off with his super strength. “KIM!” Jim and Tim ran to Kim, who had awoken, but was still in extreme pain.
“T-Tweebs!” Kim hugged her brothers - and they hugged her back.
“We knew you'd rescue us!” said Jim.
“Yeah - we knew you could do it, Kim!” said Tim.
The two helped Kim to her feet & carried her over next to Shego.
At the sound of a sonic cannon powering up, Slade looked around.
Cyborg, Robin, Raven & Starfire - in the air above Slade - Ron, Rufus, Beast Boy, Shego, Kim, Hego, Mego, and Wego 1 & 2 - belatedly using their powers to make copies of themselves - had Slade completely surrounded and cornered.
“Well, Slade?” said Kim, with all her strength.
Robin growled. “You're not going anywhere, Slade.”
“Yes,” said Hego, though he had not a clue what was going on. “You're not going anywhere!”
“Hmmph.” Slade looked around. “Request declined.” He threw a canister of smoke down. When it cleared, he’d vanished. Everybody apparently decided not to chase after him at the same time.
“Raven?” asked Robin. “Let's get out of here.”
Raven looked at Kim. “Kim, this is gonna feel kinda…weird.”
Shego took Kim from Jim and Tim. Kim forced a smile, looking at Shego.
“We can handle it.”
Dark energy engulfed everybody and slid through the ground.
At Kim’s house, dark energy slid out of the ground, and dropped everybody off in the middle of the driveway. Drakken almost freaked out.
“JIMMY! TIMMY!” cried the tear-filled Mrs. Possible.
“MOM!” the Twins cried.
Mrs. Possible hugged her sons, then looked up at Shego. “Thank you.”
“Now Shego's good - for good?” asked Drakken. “Aww!” A hover machine dropped out of nowhere. Drakken jumped into it and rocketed away faster than anyone could move to stop him.
Shego stopped Kim from running after. “They always get away, Kimmie.”
“They'll come back.” Hego’s voice clearly annoyed everyone. “But when they do-”
“They shall answer to The Teen Titans!” said Starfire.
“Team Go!” added Hego.
“And the Possible clan - which now includes Shego as well! Yeah!” said Ron awkwardly after seeing the look Shego was giving him. Kim giggled at Shego's face.
Mr. Possible looked at the night sky. “So, Kim - aren't you late for the Prom?”
“I'm not going, Dad.”
“What?” Shego’s response surprised even herself. “No no - no no! Oh, you're goin’ to the Prom, Princess! I know you got two tickets up in that room of yours!”
“But she doesn't have a da-” Mrs. Possible stopped as Shego looked at Kim. “Oh…Oh, but you need a dress, honey!”
Shego threw her hand up. “s'alright. I got it covered.”
Later, at Middleton High School, Mr. Barkin greeted people at the door for the Prom.
Inside, Brick Flagg, the school quarterback, was talking to Dave and Bonnie. “I don't know what it is, guys, but Kim Possible's suddenly become really hot!” Dave and Bonnie just scoffed.
On the floor, Shego was dancing with Kim. Both were in beautiful dresses.
And every guy in the room was squirming to watch them dance.
Kim drew in close to Shego as a slow song started. “Shego, when - when Drakken and Slade do come back - promise to take care of me?” she asked, flitting her eyes just so.
Shego smiled. She ran her fingers through Kim’s hair as she looked deep into Kim’s beautiful eyes. “For the rest of your freakin’ life, Babe…for the rest of your freakin’ life…”
It was exactly what Kim had wanted to hear. She sighed warmly and rested her head on Shego's shoulder.
They kept dancing away, for the rest of the moonlit night.
THE END
EPILOGUE
“Drat!” Dr. Drakken was not happy. “First, Kim Possible thwarts my plans, and now she steals my sidekick! Argh – I’d be blue in the face if it didn’t match my skin colour!” he grumbled.
“Dr. Drakken.” The voice came from everywhere at once.
Drakken jumped. “Gah! Not this again!”
Slade appeared out of the shadows. “It’s just me.”
“Oh, just you…” Drakken was not in the mood to hear anything.
“You want to stop Kim Possible. I was humiliated by that wench and my former apprentice – the one called Shego. I know you have some shortcomings in carrying out your plans. I’ve realized I have a disgraceful tendency to underestimate the people I choose as my apprentice. Perhaps – if we team up, we may be able to cancel out these shortcomings – and destroy Kim Possible, the Teen Titans, and Team Go – all in one short, swift, and devastating strike.”
Drakken considered for a moment. “Well, I was actually thinking of retiring, but…you’ve convinced me otherwise.” He shook Slade’s hand. “Deal. Now, what do we do first?”
Slade clearly grinned under his mask.
“We go to Go City – and break out the one they call Aviarius.”
Drakken snickered gleefully and maniacally.
“Excellent…”
