Chapter Eight: Girls, Guys, and Getaways

Shego stood with her mouth wide open and staring at Drakken’s newest creation, the X2.

The look on her face was one of shock and confusion.

“Drakken what did you do? He’s…he’s…”

“He’s your replacement. Thanks to my pure genius, Kim Possible will at long last be destroyed!”
The X2 stood like a stone statue, awaiting his orders. The huge grin on Dr. Drakken’s face was a stark contrast to the look of terror on Shego’s.

Oh God…what have you done…

“As you can see my dear, X2 is a sort of…shall we say, upgrade…to your ex-boyfriend that you so lovingly left at my doorstep. I implanted a chip at the base of his brain that enhances all of his physical abilities, and gives complete control of his actions to me”

“No…no you have to put him back! He’s a human being! He’s a jerk…but he’s still human for God’s sake Drakken!”

“Well now…you didn’t care what happened to him that day, why the change of heart? Are you scared he might be stronger than you, a better fighter? Afraid he will render you obsolete? Or maybe…”

Unsure how to react, Shego could do nothing but stare. Her hands were balled into tight fists at her sides, the muscles in her forearms tense.

“Maybe it’s time for a demonstration. I’ll test him out on the girl you brought home last night.”

Shego’s heart plummeted to the floor. Her palms began to sweat and her throat felt like it was swelling shut. Her nerves were shot to hell. Blood pressure through the roof, her face was burning with fury.

How…how did he…he must have seen her…shit…

“Ooooooh Shego…you didn’t realize I knew she was there did you? Well I knew. And I know who it is you tried to hide in your bed this morning.”

“Drakken…don’t you dare. You know you can’t handle me…and neither can he.”

“Oh really? We’ll just have to see about that. X2, I order you to go into Shego’s apartment and bring Kim Possible here to me. Leave her alive, but feel free to…shall we say…damage her a bit. I want to see the look on Shego’s face as she watches her new…‘friend’, gasping for her last breath.”

“Don’t you dare touch her! I’ll kill you!”

The blood in her veins was boiling. Drakken stood like a proud father, looking upon his creation. The ‘X2’ turned on his heels and started for the door to the secondary hangar bay.

“Where the hell do you think you’re going?! If you want her you gotta get through me first asshole!”

“X2 if Shego gets in the way…kill her.”

Fat chance of that Drakken…I gotta get to Kim before he does.

Adrenaline pumping, she sprinted up behind her ex-boyfriend, now dubbed “X2” and with a flying leap, planted her boots into his back. He stumbled forward a step or two then continued walking away. He never even looked back. Shego stood slack-jawed. A kick like that should have sent anyone else flying.

“What…what the hell?”

Drakken chuckled to himself as he reveled in his ex-partner’s astonishment.

“I told you I enhanced his physical abilities. He’s not the weaker man you kicked out all those weeks ago. You can’t stop him Shego, nobody can!”

Nobody my ass!

At this point X2 was about to enter the secondary hangar where all Dr. Drakken and Shego’s most dangerous ‘toys’ were stored. Sprinting in behind him, Shego slid baseball style right past him and smashed her fist into a big red button, slamming shut two steel doors. X2 was trapped on the other side, at least for now.

“You may be stronger than you were babe, but I’m still faster and smarter. Catch me if you can!”

Shego turned and ran to her favorite green motorcycle, throwing her leg over the seat and starting the engine all in one movement. She could hear the sound of buckling metal mixed with the roar of the engine.

Just as she kicked out the kick stand with her toe, she caught a glimpse of his boot crushing through the steel door. The same boot that tried to crush her throat.

Never again asshole, never again.

With that the tires squealed and spun as the bike sped off across the compound towards Shego’s apartment. She knew her newest enemy would not be far behind.
==========================================================================================
“Goddddddd when the hell is she coming back…she’s been gone forever.”

Kim sat with her feet propped on the black coffee table Shego’s living room. There was nothing good on television and it felt like Shego was taking forever to come back. It didn’t help that Kim couldn’t get the green goddess out of her mind.

She had been so close to telling Shego her true feelings. It had taken all her nerve to get to that point, and Drakken had killed the moment. Twice.

I really hate him. Like it’s not bad enough that he ruins everyone’s lives, now he’s trying to ruin my love life.

Little did she know it wasn’t just her love life he was out to destroy.

Legs asleep, she stood to stretch them out and walked around the room. Even though Shego had said to stay away from the windows, she needed something other than the tv to look at.

Peering through the light green curtains, she quickly recoiled as the sun blinded her. Rubbing her eyes until the spots before them faded away, Kim moved the curtain once more.

Out the window she saw a sprawling green yard and in the distance the enormous compound housing the “secret” lair of her worst enemy Doctor Drakken.

Panning to the left down a long dirt road towards two huge concrete buildings, Kim spied what looked like a dust cloud headed in her direction. She assumed it was Shego speeding back to her.

“Finally. ‘Bout time woman! What the hell took you sooo…”

Kim’s voice trailed off as she realized the dust cloud was indeed Shego on her Ninja, but she was followed by a second larger object.

“Shhhhhhhhhhhit…”

She knew Shego would never willingly bring someone back to her apartment to find Kim Possible casually relaxing in her living room. As agile as a cat, Kim leapt over the coffee table and up the stairs to the bedroom she had spent the night in, curled up in Shego’s arms.

Still in the clothes Shego had lent her, Kim reached into her handbag and pulled out her pistol and holster, strapping it to her thigh. Knowing she had very little time, she sprinted to Shego’s closet and rifled through her enormous stash of shoes to find a pair of hiking style boots.

Kim strapped those to her feet, and lucky for her, Shego wore only a half size larger than she. Hearing the motorcycle and what sounded like a second much bigger engine approaching, Kim sprung to her feet and was back out to the living room in less than thirty seconds.

Suddenly, the television crashed on and a blurred image of her green goddess came across the screen.

“Kim! Kim we gotta get out of here right now! I’ll explain later just go to the trap door under the sofa and down those steps into my underground garage! Start the Porsche and get in the passenger seat! I’ll be right there! GO NOW!”

Without stopping to answer Kim spun around and flipped the sofa on its back, revealing a small silver latch. Immediately she pulled the trap door open and with her heart pounding out of her chest, descended the steps into the darkness below.

“Shit shit shit! Porsche Porsche where the fuck is the Porsche!?”

As Kim reached the last stair, bright fluorescent lights automatically switched on. The lights revealed a long corridor of expensive looking vehicles, of which Kim had not the time to appreciate. Luckily, the Porsche was the car closest to her on the left.

“Found it!...Now hurry Shego, Hurry!”

Overhead she heard a loud crash and the shattering of broken glass. Shego had just driven her bike through the large front window. Quickly Kim opened the passenger door and upon finding the keys in the ignition, started the jet black Porsche.

She turned her head to stare at the stairway where she hoped the onyx haired woman would soon be running down. As she stared she swallowed hard, trying to keep her heart out of her throat.

“C’mon c’monnnn! Yes!”

There she was finally, a horribly scared yet determined look on her pale face. Those green eyes of hers looked terrified. The driver door opened and Shego flung herself inside, immediately throwing the car into drive.

“What the hell is going on Shego?! You’re scared shitless!”

“Just shut up and hold on Princess! We don’t have time!”

Shego was right, they didn’t have the time. Just as the words escaped her mouth X2 reached the bottom stair, and was glaring at the tail end of the Porsche as it sped away.

In her rear-view mirror she saw him staring right into her big green eyes. Kim scowled at the frightened look on Shego’s face and then realized she was looking at what was behind them.

Turning again to see for herself, Kim saw for the first time her newest enemy.

“Who the hell is that? Shego, who the fuck is that?”

“Let’s just say he isn’t someone who likes to play nice.”
