Through the silence of the night’s shadows, a distinct “BRRANK! BRRANK!” cut the atmosphere like a knife. But as the sound was all too familiar to the citizens of Jump City, no one batted an eye, and soon fell back asleep. Some were so used to it, they didn’t even wake up.
However, inside the huge T-shaped building in Jump City Bay, five shadows scurried out of the building as fast as they could possibly go.
On the monitor inside the building, the location of the crime was--
--a red dot on someone else's communicator. Suddenly, the dot vanished off the communicator's screen, replaced by the face of the 10-year old computer whiz, Wade – holed up in his room as usual.
“Just a few more metres, Kim.”
Kim Possible looked around the airplane’s cabin, then at her best friend, Ron Stoppable – and Rufus, Ron’s pet naked mole rat. While the three of them had done this type of thing many times before, Kim could still never get over the sight of a naked mole rat wearing a teeny parachute pack - with a matching tiny safety helmet and goggles to boot. It was just too…weird.
However, the only thing she felt like doing at the moment was venting her stored anger in a positive way – in other words, beating the living crap out of her archenemy Dr. Drakken’s sidekick, Shego. She was certainly not in the mood to laugh at anything weird right now.
“Good luck!” chimed Wade from the communicator.
“Thanks, Wade,” replied Kim, putting the communicator in her back pocket as Ron opened the plane's jump doors. Just her luck: the weather matched her mood perfectly. She was kind of glad to see lightning. “Finally, we find Drakken's hideout…” she grumbled as she put on her protective goggles and prepared to jump out of the plane.
“Uh, KP?” chimed in Ron. “We've known where Drakken's hideout is for a while n-”
“Just shut up and jump after me,” Kim snapped as she walked to the open doorway - the wind whipping her red hair.
“Bonnie?” Ron asked as she passed him
“Yeah.”
Lightning cracked and thunder roared as she jumped out of the plane. Ron and Rufus followed suit, jumping out of the plane after her.
Far below, a sinister laugh emanated from inside a fairly hard-to-miss building.
The laugh came courtesy of Kim’s archenemy, the blue-skinned Dr. Drakken – who was standing proudly, gloating over a huge, similarly sinister-looking device resting in front of him.
“At last!” he cackled. “My Supernova Death Ray is complete! Now Middleton will bow to me!”
Filing her nails off to the side – and looking entirely unimpressed and bored - Shego, his sidekick, didn’t even look at him. She sighed. Sometimes, even she couldn’t figure out why she kept keeping up the gig as Drakken’s sidekick. She did like fighting against Kim Possible and the fact that Drakken always gave her a reason to use some biting sarcasm, but other than that…
“Uh-huh. Yeah,” Shego belatedly countered his cackling proclamation. “That's what you said would happen with the Nova Death Ray.”
“Now, Shego, don't play smart with me!” Drakken semi-stammered.
“”Pfft! Like I could,” she retorted. “Hey, you know what “Nova” means in Spanish? “Won't Go.”
“Gah -- SHEGO!”
Shego grinned. Now she wasn’t bored. “What? You scared of the truth now?” she shot back.
“Sheg- I am DR. DRAKKEN! I FEAR NOTHING!”
A which point a blast of green energy sliced by his feet and slammed into the ground - causing him to SCREECH in fear as he leapt onto the stool behind the Supernova Death Ray device.
“Sorry.” Shego turned away, blowing on her fingers like they were gun barrels. “Thought I saw a mouse.”
She returned to filing her nails. Great. Now she was bored again.
All Drakken could manage was his standard: “Grrr…”
