“Bradshaw.” Amy answered her cell phone and waited for a response.
”I can’t talk for long.” Came the whispered reply. “It’s Lucy. She’s gone off the deep end again. She’s going to try and blow up Australia.”
“Scud?”
“She’s pissed I’m trying to stop her…she’s coming. Hurry.” The line went dead and Amy looked at Kim.
”I need your help.”
“So why can’t your organisation deal with this?” Ron received a glare from Kim as they entered the helicopter Wade had arranged for them after calling in a favour. “I’m just asking. I mean there’s more of them and if this Lucy Diamond’s gonna try and destroy Australia we should at least tell-”
“We can’t.” Amy snapped. “They’ll just think it’s some plan of Lucy’s to get Scud to lure me to her new lair that no one knows about so she can abduct me again.” Seeing the worried glances Kim and Ron exchanged she shook her head. “It’s so not. This is for real. Scud can’t lie.”
Lucy’s newest lair was underground just outside Middelton. Wade had located it and provided the ride; they just needed to stop Lucy…and find a way to get in.
“Psst!” All three heroes looked over to a bush that had just hissed for their attention.
“Uh KP…”
“Amy!” It hissed again. The older blonde agent smiled and walked over to it. “Scud?” He grabbed her arm and yanked her down behind the bush, causing Kim and Ron to run to her aid.
“What kind of super spy are you?” He frowned. “Ever heard of stealth?” The blonde man brushed twigs from off of his jacket and took in the other two. The young man with the red head was an unexpected problem.
“Here’s my key card.” He handed it to Amy. “You and her go stall Lucy. I’ll take the kid and go turn off the power.” Kim looked nervous about leaving Ron with the stranger.
“C’mon Kim.” Amy dragged her over to the doorway behind the bush Scud had been hiding in, not giving her a chance to voice her opinion.
It was only as they were ten minutes in to the maze like lair that Amy stopped and turned to face Kim who was covering the rear. “Can you promise not to hurt Lucy?” She blushed as she spoke. “I really care about her and Scud does too, neither of us want her to blow up Australia…but we don’t want her to get hurt either.” Kim agreed and pointed to the blonde’s gun.
“I’m not the one with one of those.”
Ron followed the older blonde as they walked around outside towards a small wooden shed. “The generator is in here.” Scud explained, he stepped aside to let Ron in and waited for the teenager to enter before slamming the door shut and bolting it. “Lights out kid.”
“Uh…Mr Scud? Hello? The door shut and I can’t open it.” Ron banged on the door with his fist but got no response. “Hello?”
Kim and Amy’s luck wasn’t much better than Ron’s. After entering the main room of the lair, where the device Lucy planned to destroy Australia with was located they’d promptly ran straight over to check if it was armed. Which was about the same time a heavy metal cage dropped from above them, trapping the two heroines inside.
“That was easy.” Shego applauded Lucy’s simple yet effective plan. “Guess a good old fashioned trap’s all we needed after all.”
“Shego!” Kim growled as she realised the villain had been involved in her capture.
“Lucy!” Amy barked, crossing her arms over her chest and huffing. “Let us out, right now!” The mischievous diamond thief smirked in response.
“Or else?”
Amy aimed her gun straight at her, a hard and determined look on her face. “Or else I’ll…I’ll s-shoot.” Lucy walked over to the cage so that the gun was digging in her chest.
“Would have been a lot more convincing without the stutter.” Kim groaned as the gun was snatched from the blonde’s hands. “C’mon Amy, stop resisting. Things can be like they were before-”
“No.” Silent tears ran down the DEBS cheek as she looked in to the other woman’s burning gaze. “Lucy, it’s over. We can’t be together. I can’t stop doing my job. I’m sorry.”
The dark haired woman frowned and pouted. “Fine. Go.” She opened the door to the cage and watched as Amy carefully assessed the situation to decide whether it was a trap. Finally after deciding Lucy wouldn’t betray her, no matter how many times Amy had done just that to her, she took Kim’s hand.
“C’mon-” Shego’s flaming fist haltered their exit.
”Kimmie stays.”
Amy was about to protest when she felt Kim release her hand.
“Go.” She muttered sullenly. “Find Ron and get out of here.”
“But-” Amy turned to see Kim’s green orbs burning in to Shego.
“Go.” She left no room for argument and Amy finally relented and pushed past Shego without her.
Scud, standing sheepishly in the doorway smiled meekly at Amy as she went to pass him. “Sorry Amy. I did it for Lucy. The blonde kid’s in the shed up top.” She glared at him and walked out, reluctantly leaving Kim on her own.
“Finally we have caught Kim Possible!” Drakken cackled manically. Lucy, in a fowl mood silenced him with a punch in the face. The quivering blue man lay on the floor, frightened to face the diamond thief.
“C’mon Dr. D.” Scud helped him to his feet, scowling at Lucy. “How about a game of bingo?”
“I like bingo.” Drakken sniffled as Scud led him away from the two fiery women.
Lucy smiled feebly. “Hope he’s a good loser. Scud’s the self proclaimed bingo god.” Shego took no notice, she was staring at Kim who had slumped to the ground and curled up protectively. “I’ll have someone sedate her. We need to relocate to somewhere safe. Somewhere neither the DEBS nor Global Justice can’t find us.” Lucy’s serious speech was interrupted by a high-pitched wail from Drakken followed by a shout from Scud.
“BINGO!”
