Chapter 1 Mission Colorado

A whole year had elapsed since the Lowardian invasion. Kimberly Ann Possible, now a nineteen-year-old university student, was currently taking her courses at Harvard. She chose to take Criminology and Law, something in relation with what she had been doing since her early teen years, as a vigilante, and now, as a Global Justice agent.

Her friend, Ronald Stoppable, was in Yamanouchi, honing his skills as the Monkey Master. The two were still the best of friends even though they had broken up two months after graduation. The decision was mutual between the two, as neither had any special feelings for the other except friendship.

They still went on missions together, and would go out for a meal or two whenever they got the chance to meet each other. But between the busy university life Kim had, and the training Ron was trying his best not to mess up, the two rarely met each other, and moved on with their lives, and having new relationships.

Ron had begun to date Yori three months after he enrolled into Yamanouchi, and Yori loved him dearly. The two could not be happier. Even Kim and Monique had given the couple their blessings.

As for Kim...

Present...

"So Kim, wanna join us for lunch later? Finals are finally over." Her dorm mate, Lisana, a lithe athletic girl with strawberry blonde hair and sea blue eyes asked her.

"Yeah, come on, Kim, join us." Alan Kriston said to her, his muscular build dwarfing the two young woman walking in front of him. A mop of short black hair, dark brown eyes and a chiselled jaw, he was one of Kim's course mate in Criminology.

Kim smiled tiredly. Taking a double major was definitely taking a toll on her. As much as she wished to decline the offer, she couldn't turn them down. This was their final day together for the year, as the end of the year holidays would begin tomorrow, and her two friends had already booked their tickets to return to Texas tomorrow.

"Ok, sure. So, where to?" Kim queried, tugging on the straps of her backpack slung over her shoulder.

Before either Lisanna or Alan could say anything, beeping from her Kimmunicator decided to break the atmosphere. Both of Kim's friends glared at her, but she promptly ignored them and turned to her wrist watch. The image of the boy genius, Wade Load appeared on the screen with a smile, then turned back when something turned up on his screens.

"Hey Wade, what's the sitch?" Kim asked.

"Done with finals?" He queried back, looking up from his monitors. "Global Justice had been trying to contact you for the past two hours, but I held them off."

"What's up?" Kim mouthed a silent apology to her friends, who accepted it and waved goodbye to her. Lisana stepped forward and gave the redhead a hug. Kim smiled at the affection, and waved them off.

Wade scrolled through his notes. "It seems that Drakken has finally snapped. He and Shego was last sighted in their Colorado lair, and Dr Director wants you to bring them in."

Shego? What's she trying to do now? Kim strode off towards the university entrance, taking care not to bump into any other students in the hallway. "Ride?"

"Waiting outside the campus. Oh, and Ron's waiting for you already." Wade informed her.

"Thanks Wade, you rock." She thanked him. The boy genius smiled and closed the link.

Kim made her way out from the university and saw her ride, a military helicopter parked on a stretch of grass just outside the entrance. She quickly got in, and sat down next to Ron, who smiled at her. Kim put on the helmet, and said into the intercom.

"Thanks for the ride, Captain Baldwin." She told him, strapping herself into the seat.

"No problem, Ms Possible. It's the least I can do after you saved me from the avalanche last year." He replied, igniting the engines, and they were soon in the air.

"No big…" Kim replied, and Ron elbowed her playfully in the ribs.

Drakken paced his lair, biting on the nail of his thumb. The cerulean scientist kept his eyes glued to the entrance of his lair, and occasionally he would bite his lips. Finally, he tore his gaze away from the door, and moved to check the dials on his latest death ray. He crouched down, opened a panel, and adjusted something before slapping it shut and moved on to the next one.

One whole year with Global Justice had definitely did him some good, as he was not as careless as he used to be. Most of his inventions were even functional now. But, the other scientists still refused to see him eye to eye, viewing him as a disgrace as he once walked in the dark. So he decided to return to being evil, which he thought was so much more befitting for a man like him than working with Global Justice.

Shego, on the other hand, lounged on the couch, filing her nails. She was fed up with the antics of the cerulean man. The only reason she had agreed to work with him again was the chance to meet with her redheaded princess again. Kim had been busy with her studies, and even as lovers, they seldom had the chance to meet each other. So, Shego took up the offer, hoping to get back into her weekly tussles with Kim.

"Get a grip, Dr D. It's not like this is the first time you've ever faced Kimmie." She said lazily, holding up one hand to eye her handiwork. Satisfied with the result, she moved on to the other hand.

"Shego, this is my grand return to the villain community, of course I have to do my best!" The mad-scientist told her. "Besides, I have to show those fools at Global Justice that I'm better than them!"

"By building another death ray?" Shego queried, sitting up and putting away her nail file. "None of your rays ever work."

"No, Shego, this time, it will work." Drakken told her, patting his machine. "I will finally bring an end to that meddlesome hero, Kim Possible."

Shego stood up, hands on her hips. "Oh no you don't, Dr D. Kimmie's mine, so you will leave her to me."

"Fine…" He said sourly, turning back to his machine.

"Another death ray? Ran out of ideas, Drakken?" Asked a feminine voice.

The two villains turned to see Kim and Ron standing at the entrance. The hero had her usual mission gear on, a purple top and black slacks, along with black combat boots which she traded for a better punch.

"Kim Possible?!" Drakken screamed in surprise.

Shego resisted the urge to roll her eyes at the man. Geez, you've planned for this, so why are you so surprised when she shows up? A smile had made its way up to her lips, and she waved at the redhead. "Hey princess, glad you can join the party."

Kim resisted the urge to smile at the raven haired beauty. "Ron, stop the death ray. I'll deal with Shego."

"Booyah!" Ron replied, and raced towards the machine. But Drakken was faster, as he intercepted the blonde. The two began their usual "fight" by slapping each other's hands.

Kim and Shego both rolled their eyes at the sight, but proceeded to their own fight as well. Shego flared up, throwing a plasma bolt at the redhead, who rolled out from harm's way. Kim sprang from her crouched position, and tackled Shego to the ground, straddling the raven haired woman. Shego brought up one lit fist, but Kim caught Shego by the wrist.

"Oh, naughty, aren't you, princess?" Shego said with a smirk.

Kim blushed, her hold loosening. Shego took the chance to kick the redhead off her, and aimed a punch to Kim's face. The hero brought up her leg, kicking the incoming punch, and threw Shego off balance. Shego snarled, but she was enjoying the fight.

"Shut it, Shego." Kim said to her. "Now, we talk with our fists."

Shego raised an eyebrow at those words. "Gladly…" She purred.

It was way too late when Kim realized what she had just said to Shego. Eyes widening, she took the full brunt as Shego lunged at her, tackling Kim to the ground this time. One emerald flame covered palm lowered to clasp around the hero's throat gently, and Kim arched herself into the warm touch.

"Enjoying yourself, princess?" Shego whispered in Kim's ear, sending shivers down the teen's spine.

"KIM, RUN! Came Ron's panicked voice, as he scrambled away from the machine, Drakken close at his heels. "THE LAIR'S GOING TO SELF-DESTRUCT!"

As if on cue, a robotic voice boomed from the terminals lining the lair. "Self-destruct in thirty seconds…"

"Uh-oh…" The two woman mumbled, and quickly got up, rushing out from the lair into the pouring rain.

The two heroes and two villains escaped the lair in time, but the blast from the explosion threw them precariously close to the edge of the cliff. Kim picked herself up from the muddy ground, spewing mud water from her mouth. One punch to her face, and she rolled away from the cliff, coming to a stop beside Ron, who was unconscious. The rain continued to drench the four of them, and Kim pushed wet strands of her fiery red mane from her face.

"What's wrong, pumpkin?" Shego taunted the hero as usual. She never did understand why, but the reactions she got from the teen hero always made her smirk, inwardly and outwardly. Even as lovers, she had yet to fully understand the feelings in her heart. She spared a glance to her side, and saw Drakken tying the unconscious buffoon up.

Kim stood up, wiping the blood from the mouth, and the two sank into a fight like any usual fights they had had over the years. The two females fought like a rehearsed dance, every move was blocked and countered beautifully. They had fought each other so often they knew what their opponent had up her sleeve. And now, they knew each other even better than before.

Kim grunted, and aimed a kick at Shego's head, but the pale green woman ducked under it and elbowed Kim in the chest, causing Kim to cough and stumble backwards on unsteady legs. Shego didn't let the chance slip, and immediately moved into the younger woman's range, sweeping Kim's feet from under her, and straddled the hero once again, her fists flaring up in plasma.

"So, is this the end?" Shego asked. Shit, what's wrong with you, Kimmie? "Any last words?"

"Yeah." Kim replied. "So. Not. Happening." She brought up a fist, smashing it into Shego's temple, sending Shego rolling away, and her plasma went out. Sorry, Shego, I'll apologize later…

Shego got up with a groan, and a growl from her throat was all the warning the teen hero had before Shego's green plasma flickered across her hands and the green woman jumped at her like a feline. Pushing down the sudden fear that rose in her throat, Kim quickly scrambled out of the way, gaining her footing and waited for the green woman to get closer.

When Shego was close enough, Kim twisted her body to one side, avoiding the claws aimed at Kim's face, and grabbed the older woman by her arm, throwing her onto the ground and smashing her entire weight onto Shego. Shego let out a grunt of pain from her lips, and swept her hands upwards, but Kim caught the hand once more and twisted it, earning another grunt from the villainess.

"Not so tough now, huh?" Kim taunted, pushing herself onto the green woman.

"Shego!" A wail was heard, followed by hurried footsteps.

Kim never saw the hit coming her way. Seconds later, she found herself on the rocky surface, nursing a tender jaw as Shego climbed to her feet, staring at a certain cerulean scientist who was busy blowing his knuckle.

"Dr. D?" She asked in bewilderment. It was certainly not every day you see that Drakken actually managed to do something.

"Oh, you can thank me later, Shego." He shook it off nonchalantly, and jabbed a finger in the heroine's direction. "Now finish her!"

Without another word, Shego lit up her plasma and headed towards the teen hero, who had stood up on wobbly feet. Her movements were sluggish, as she barely avoided a kick to her midsection. Shego wrinkled her eyebrows at the sight, but didn't say anything and brought up one knee into Kim's stomach, sending her coughing and landing on her back, hard.

"Oh, come on, pumpkin." She said with a smirk, and waited for Kim to stand up again. But in her heart, worry began to take control of her emotions. Damn it, what's wrong with you?

Kim did, after a few painful breaths. Kim got onto her feet, and took her stance once again. "That's all you've got? You've gotten slow…"

With that, Shego growled and threw a ball of plasma at the hero, already expecting her to dodge it. But she didn't. Kim fell with a shrill scream and rolled a few times on the ground, coming to a stop precariously close to the edge of the cliff. Ron, finally waking up, saw what was happening and the blue aura covered him. He tapped into his Mystical Monkey Powers, and tore the ropes keeping him captive, lunging at the green woman, tackling her to the ground.

"SHEGO!" The freckled teen yelled, raising a fist and brought it down to her face, stunning her. He turned to Drakken, who was making his way towards the hero, cackling.

"DRAKKEN!" He shouted once more, jumping on the scientist, who brought out a hypodermic gun and aimed it at him. Ron easily dodged the darts, landed in front of the cerulean man yanking the device from his hands. "What did you do?" Ron demanded.

Drakken shook his head madly, but Ron didn't miss the glances Drakken kept directing to the hypodermic gun Ron was holding onto. Ron reached out one hand, and grabbed Drakken by the throat, applying pressure. "Say it."

"Nothing!" He whimpered pathetically. "Shego!" He called out.

A plasma hit the blonde teen in the back, and he loosened his grip on Drakken, who immediately scurried away at the first chance he had. Shego threw more plasma at him, but Ron crouched down on all fours and the blue aura intensified, and he began to agilely avoid all the plasma balls.

"Unhh…" A groan came from their left, and they saw Drakken, whom they thought had ran away, pulling an unconscious Kim towards the cliff. He sent a kick into her midsection, sending the hero over the edge.

"KIM!" Ron and Shego both shouted, horrified by what was happening in front of them.

Shego was the first one to react. She jumped over the edge, and caught the still unconscious hero by the hand, while her other hand clawed itself into the rocky surface, trying to find a handhold. Ron had reached them by then, and shoved the scientist away before trying to pull Shego up. His efforts were interrupted by Drakken, who tried to push him out of the way.

"Buffoon, a little help here." Shego muttered, watching the two males slapping each other's hands away. He may be the 'Monkey Master, but he's still a buffoon. Her heart skipped a beat when she felt Kim's hand slipping from her grip. 'Shit, this rain…'

"Buffoon, hurry up!" She yelled.

"Trying!" Ron yelled back, pushing Drakken away. He scurried over to the cliff and began to heave the two women up, but one shove from Drakken, and he was over the cliff, dropping to his death.

Ron pulled out his grapple gun and fired it, the metal claws clamped onto a boulder, and he swung dangerously from his lifeline. He looked up Shego who was staring at the claws clamped into the boulder next to her, and then at him.

"Don't you ever do anything right?" She shouted down, a little annoyed.

Ron rolled his eyes. "Not the time for this, Shego." Came the reply. He pressed a button on his grapple gun, and the line retracted, pulling him up. He pulled the teen hero up with him once she was within reach, and with a shove from Shego, they pushed Kim up to safety on the cliff.

But the rocks under Shego's hands gave away, and the woman felt herself falling before Ron caught her arm. Their eyes widened at the sight on the cliff, where Drakken was hovering over Kim, with no one to stop him. Dread rose in them, but they could do nothing to stop the cerulean scientist as he raised the teen hero up, sneering.

"You think you're all that, Kimberly Ann, but you're not!" He said to the hero, picking Kim up and threw the hero down into the river.

"KIMMIE!" The green villainess shouted. When she had seen Drakken holding the unconscious redhead, she thought about firing a bolt of plasma at him to knock him out, but she had feared that he would drop the hero into the river below.

Now, she watched in horror as the hero fell from the man's hands, but Kim was too far for the green woman to grab. In the end, all she could grasp was the locket the hero wore around her neck. Ron and Shego could only watch as the hero fell with a huge splash into the raging Colorado River beneath their feet.

"KIM!" Ron screamed, searching to see if the redheaded hero would float back up to the surface, not noticing the grip of Shego's hands on his growing tighter.

With a snarl, Shego placed her feet on the side of the cliff, then pushed herself outwards and upwards as far as she could, grabbing a handhold and leapt back onto the cliff. With the grace of a cat, she landed before a still snickering Drakken. She heaved the blonde back up before pushing a wet strand of raven lock from her face, plasma lighting up all over her.

"See Shego? You never could get rid of Possible, but I did it with ease…" Drakken began to gloat, waging a finger in her direction.

Shego snarled once more, grabbing the scientist by his collar, pulling him off the ground. "What did you do to her?" She demanded, breathing her plasma breath into his face. "What was in that dart?"

"Uh… I don't know what are you talking about…" He mumbled, not meeting his sidekick's emerald orbs. He shook in fear, but deep inside him, he knew that the meddlesome hero would not be back to thwart his plans anymore. He had finally bested the hero

"WHAT WAS IN THAT DART?!" She practically screamed into his face. "I KNOW YOU MUST'VE HIT HER WITH IT! OTHERWISE HER MOVEMENTS WOULDN'T BE SO SLUGGISH!"

Ron stepped forward. "Shego, let's try another approach." He said coldly. She was shocked by his change in his tone. He reminded her of Zorpox, and she shuddered at the memories. Pulling out the hypodermic gun from his pocket, he pressed it to the cerulean man's neck. "Well, we always have the option of trying this on you to find out."

Drakken whimpered, and closed his eyes. "I'll say, I'll say, don't inject that into me!" He wailed pathetically. "It's a special type of nerves and muscle relaxant that I developed. It slows down the activity of neurotransmitters in neurones, and decreases the activity of actin and myosin in muscles."

"Layman's term?" Ron queried.

"It means, a type of poison that kills slowly. We have to find Kimmie." Shego muttered, throwing the man to the ground. "Do you have GJ on the way?"

Ron nodded. "Yeah, I also ask Dr. Director to dispatch a rescue team down, when you were busy shouting at Drakken. A medic team will be on standby as well."

Shego threw a powerful bolt of plasma in Drakken's direction, cratering the ground beside him, smoke rising from the damage she caused. The scientist scooted away at the sight, cowering in fear, but he still shouted at Shego.

"You are my sidekick! You are supposed to get rid of the meddlesome redhead! But you never did! You let her thwart with my plans, and you make fun of my plans!" He yelled in rage.

The green woman turned onto him, the locket she had held onto digging into the palm of her hand. She threw the locket at Ron, and flared up the temperature as high as she could. Drakken scurried away at the sight, but Shego was faster. Building up a ball of plasma, she howled in anger and threw it at the man, hitting him hard. The man writhed in pain as the plasma continued to burn.

Shego didn't even spare him another look as she took the locket back from the freckled teen, and one glance at the carvings on the locket froze her in place. What had just happened kicked in fully, and she fought to keep the bile down her throat.

No, this can't be happening! Anyone but her. Anyone but her…

She made her way to the edge of the cliff, and look down at the raging water below. 'She couldn't have survived this… not with how the water is hitting the rocks…' Shego closed her eyes mournfully.

Kimmie…

So here we are, the end of the rewritten chapter one. Hope you all find this to be a better piece of work than my previous work. Please leave me a review to let me know how I'm doing. All comments, good or bad, are welcomed.
