Chapter 1: Shego's Sickness

Shego slipped into the GJ lab silently, going past the giant vats of chemicals and cracking the code that let her into the next room which had lasers surrounding the object she was sent to get. The Pan Dimensional Vortex Inducer. Why Dr D wanted that thing when it was more trouble than it was worth was beyond her but she did what she was paid for and flipped, jumped and somersaulted over the lasers like the professional she was. She landed in front of the PDVI and took it, slipping it into her backpack. She navigated the lasers again but unfortunately she met up with Kim in the lab.

"Shego, so nice to see you again," said Kim glaring daggers at her rival.

"Princess, you couldn't stay a home like a good little girl. Well allow me to beat you again," said Shego with a smirk.

"That, was a fluke, you'll never beat me again!" Kim charged and so did Shego.

"I beg to differ Kimmie," she said and back flipped out of the way of a high kick before returning the favor with a backhand kick. "So where's the Ronster?" she asked.

"Sick," replied Kim shortly.

"Aw, Kimmie is still mad that her puppy dog boyfriend isn't as obedient as she thinks. She's still mad that he chose to do what's right and not fight when we weren't doing anything wrong," mocked Shego with a big grin on her face.

Kim growled and flipped towards her tormentor, scoring a kick in her chest, making Shego collide with one of the vats, which got spilled on her hair and suit.

"Argh! Do you know how long it takes to get this suit cleaned! You pay for this and for messing up my hair!" growled Shego and she dashed towards Kim, running on adrenaline and anger, she was too fast for the teen and the next thing Kim knew was darkness as she was knocked out.

"Ha, sorry Kimmie but it's now two to zero for me," said Shego before leaping out of the window with PDVI safely in her backpack.

"Hey Dr D, I'm back and I've got it," said Shego strolling in. She didn't expect to be almost knocked over by a small blacked blur which gave her a hug so big that it squeezed the breath out of her.

"Shego sama!" and she realized that it was Takashi, which meant that Monty, Fukushima and Yori were here too. She looked around saw the two ninjas grinning at her and Takashi's enthusiasm.

"Konnichiwa Shego chan, it is good to see you again," said Yori with a bow.

"Hello Shego sama," bowed Fukushima.

"Hey Fuku, Yori. Hi Takashi," she said to the boy who was still hugging her.

"Shego Sama, did you miss me?" he asked brightly.

"Sure I did kiddo," she said, ruffling his hair affectionately and he finally let go of her, practically beaming. She mentally smiled, he reminded her so much of the twins. "So, what brings you guys here?" she asked, putting down the backpack.

"Father missed you," Fukushima smirked.

"America was also the next place on our, how do you say, 'get to know each other trip,'" said Yori.

Shego grinned; in the past month Monty had been putting in a lot of time and effort into his relationships with Fuku, Yori and Takashi all the while making sure that he didn't neglect her either. "So where are Monty and Dr D?" she asked.

"They and Killigan san are in the gym, Drakken san is showing them a new attack he's been working on with his powers," said Yori.

"Oh yeah, he calls it Razor Leaf, it's pretty cool," said Shego, walking to the gym with the teens following her. She opened to door to see Drakken concentrating and then releasing a bunch of razor sharp leaves at a couple of targets, slicing them in half. Monkey Fist and Duff watched in awe.

"Well tha's impressive laddie," whistled Killigan.

"A dangerous long range attack, I'm actually impressed," said Monty.

"So am I, Dr D worked hard on that attack," and the Freak Stooges turned to see the vixen of the criminal world standing by the door with the teens behind her.

"Shego!" said Monty and practically bounded over to his lover to give her a sweet kiss. He'd missed her.

"So affectionate father," said Fukushima.

"Only when amongst the people in this room though I won't hesitate to show affection in public if the need arises," said Monty looking at his son. Then he looked at Shego and asked, "Shego, what happened to your hair and suit?"

She immediately looked annoyed and explained what happened.

"Who does she think she is?" asked Drakken, annoyed at what had happened to his sidekick/partner/daughter.

"An annoying cheerleader with hero complex that's going to get her killed one day," said Shego.

"She has problems with jealousy and dislikes being wrong as well as handing control over to others," said Yori, hitting the nail on the head.

"Ye said it lass," agreed Duff.

"Well, good work on beating her and getting the PDVI Shego, why don't you go and clean up and we'll have dinner," suggested Drakken.

"Dinner? What no take over the world plans for the PDVI?" asked Shego with one raised eyebrow.

"I really want to think this through this time and I'm hungry, these powers have certainly increased my appetite," said Drakken.

Shego shrugged and made to leave when she suddenly felt dizzy and caught the doorframe to steady herself.

This action was noticed by everyone in the room. "Shego, are you alright?" asked Monty.

"Yeah, I think so, just a dizzy spell, that's all," she said, trying to brush it off as nothing.

"Shego chan, you look very pale right now," said Yori.

"I'm fine," said Shego stubbornly.

"Shego sama, you do not look well," said Fukushima.

"Shego sama, what's wrong?" asked a slightly scared Takashi.

"Nothing!" she shouted but no one was buying it.

"Aye hate te say it lass bu' ye look ghastly," said Duff.

Shego tried to walk away but stumbled, making the others gasp, Shego never stumbled and she was normally so poised and full of grace, like a panther.

Drakken walked up and put his hand to her forehead and then pulled back in shock, "Yowch! Shego, you're burning up! Shego, Shego?" She didn't respond, she was shaking and then all of a sudden her whole body flared with plasma causing everyone to yell in shock and jump back. When the plasma went away Shego was still standing but looking even worse.

"Dad, I don't feel so good," she said in a weak voice and began to pitch forward.

"SHEGO!" shouted everyone and Drakken caught her, she was now unconscious and very hot to touch. He wasted no time and dashed to Shego's room, laying her on her bed, by this time her whole face was flushed and she was sweating.

"Duff, run a cold bath, Yori, get Shego her pajamas, Monty, go and find those pills I gave you, they're in the medicine cabinet in the kitchen. Fukushima, Takashi, you two get some of this chemical off of Shego's suit and take it to my lab. Whatever is making Shego sick is in that chemical, it's the only thing that makes sense," said Drakken and everyone hastened to do what the Dr ordered them to do.

"Yori, can you bathe and change Shego while I look at the chemicals?" asked Drakken.

"Hai, it would be my honor," said Yori.

Monty lifted up his sick lover, taking her to the bathroom and helping Yori undress her and then left Yori to do the rest. Yori carefully bathed the sick woman and washed her hair, getting the chemicals out of it and back to its beautiful green tinted black colour. "I hope that you will be alright Shego chan," said Yori as she got Shego dressed. "My Lord Monkey Fist, she is ready to be put into bed," Yori called and Monty entered the bathroom and picked her up, quickly getting her to her bed where Yori pulled down the covers. He gently placed her in bed and covered her, looking very worried.

"Do not fear my lord, I'm sure that Drakken san will find a cure for her," Yori tried to reassure her master and Monty gave a short nod and then stood up.

"Watch her, I need to make a call," he said.

"Hai," said Yori and Monty left.

"Hello," said his mother's voice.

"Mummy," said Monty, sounding worried.

"Monty, good heaven's child what's wrong?" exclaimed Maim, he hadn't called her mummy for years.

"Shego's very sick and I…I'm afraid for her life," he said, sounding choked up.

"Now listen here my son, you don't worry, Shego's a fighter and she'll be fine. You will find the cure, don't you ever give up, understand?"

"Yes mum, thank you," he said.

"You're welcome child. Call me when she recovers," said Maim and then she hung up, leaving Monty feeling a bit better; he could always count on his mother to comfort him. He decided to go and find out what was happening with Drakken.

He didn't like what he was told.

"It's not good, that chemical is affecting Shego's powers and her life, we need to find the cure," said Drakken.

"What's the chemical?" asked Fukushima.

"A very rare one, there's no real name for it, so it's called Chemical Z, it affects people like Shego. The chemical is one that affects superpowers, it takes the powers away and it also kills the holder of the powers, ensuring that they're out of the picture, permanently. My guess is that this chemical was made especially for people like Shego should people like GJ decide that she's too dangerous to live," said Drakken grimly.

"No," said Monty.

"I'm sorry, unless we can find a cure then Shego has less than two days to left to live," said Drakken, a tear slowly making it way down his cheek.

"I…I remember, my daddy once told me that…that my mommy, she was also affected by this chemical, it was before I was born," said Takashi speaking up, he was holding his favorite toy rabbit, Bun-Bun and was looking at the ground.

"Takashi, please tell me what your father did to cure his wife," said Monty, kneeling down and looking the boy in the eyes.

"He said…he said that the cure was called the Lovers Poison Kiss Flower, it only grows in Antarctica, it needs to be crushed and made into liquid form and the most loved one of the one who is sick must then drink it and then instantly kiss the one who is ill. It's actually a poison, so if you don't kiss Shego Sama right away you'll both die. Only the lover may go and retrieve the flower, it's very special and it knows if you're alone or not," said Takashi.

"I'll go now," said Monty, standing up.

"Good luck Monkey Fist and please, hurry," said Drakken, looking up the stairs were Shego was being tended to by Yori.

Monty nodded and after grabbing a thick winter coat he jumped into a one person hovercar and sped off to Antarctica.

'Don't worry Shego, I'll save you, I promise,' he thought as he flew through the air, on his way to save the woman he loved.
