Chapter Four: Testing

Disclaimer: I envy the person who created Kim Possible, which means I don't own it.

Charizardag: Don't worry, how she got the footage will be revealed eventually (Probably at the end of the story). I just don't know how I can introduce it at the moment, but you will find out. Kind of something to keep you in suspense for a while eh? But I'm sure you would have forgotten about it by then anyway…

PoisonousAngel: Don't worry, killing Shego off would probably the dumbest thing I could do at this point. No, her glowing was for a completely different reason, which will be revealed sooner or later. Other occurrences like that will slowly appear through the story (like this chapter for instance) so be warned. But again, I assure you, Shego will NOT die.

Ri: Well it's VERY good to know that someone not even into KP that much enjoys the story so far. It's all a matter of taking on the characters personality and seeing what you would do (say etc.) in their shoes at the time, so thanks for the comment (but then again, there is a large number of people that say none of the characters are OOC.)!

She brought the coffee in her hands up to her mouth and took a long sip. The rush of power she had experienced last night now forgotten, well kind of. She may have been trying to forget it, but the questions wouldn't go away.

One the most obvious of those questions was, what the heck was that? It had been like nothing she had ever felt before. When that power flowed through her veins, she lost control of her emotions, and let out a laugh of twisted happiness. Boy had it felt weird.

She wasn't really up to feeling like that again, it had just felt too bizarre, so unlike her. She was never one to show how she felt about something past a sarcastic remark, something she specialized in. Being surprised also sat on her scales of emotions, and anger, but other than that, she was pretty secretive when it came to how she felt.

Another question was, why did it happen? It had, in fact, felt quite similar to the feeling she got when her hands would flame up, only this was much more intense.

Right there and then, she lit up her hands, and instantly the feeling of invincibility came to her. Sure, it wasn't nearly as strong as it was last night, but it was there.

So maybe it had something to do with her powers, her whole body had glowed that familiar green after all. So maybe they were developing, becoming stronger. After going head to head with Kimmie's new battle suit, she really did feel like she needed the upgrade.

But right now, she was in the dark. She would just have to wait for any new occurrences before she could truly start putting the pieces together. She took another sip of her coffee, and grabbed the newspaper that was sitting in the middle of the table. She set her mug down and started to flick through the pages. And as she did, she decided she would just ignore it for now.

And at that very moment, Drakken's blue face appeared at the doorway. Tightening the sash around his waist to hold up his blue dressing gown, he made his way over to the table where Shego was sitting. He pulled out a chair and took a seat across from her.

Shego peaked over the top of her newspaper and stole a quick glance at him. Like many times before, that maniacal grin stretched across his features. That always meant he had accomplished something, which wasn't always good. Drakken was defiantly one to gloat, although he was learning to get past the habits he once had when he first started this job. Surly his ego would soon be a thing of the past.

She went back to her reading, but was interrupted when Drakken's voice met her ears, "Shego!"

She angrily folded up her newspaper and slammed it on the table. She sent him an angry scowl before she finally leaned back in her chair and raised a black eyebrow. "Yeah?" She questioned, her arms folding over her chest.

"Watch this." He sent her a smug look before clicking his fingers.

Shego didn't have a clue what he was doing. What was so interesting about him clicking his fingers? Had he summoned anything? Taking a quick glance around, nothing seemed to be there. Her other eyebrow rose in confusion, but she refused to say anything.

The smug look on Drakken's face didn't falter. He was sure it would come. He had programmed it to come to him, Drakken, at a certain command. And that command was snapping his fingers.

It wasn't long after that before a young boy walked into the room, drawing the attention of Shego instantly.

Shego took a moment to study him. He had blond hair, a freckled face and rather pale skin. He was dressed in the traditional synthodrone uniform so that immediately gave away what he was. As he came to a stop at their table, she suddenly recognized him. Who could forget that grinning face? That buffoonish smile. This new synthodrone of Drakken's looked just like…

…Ron Stoppable.

Wow, so Dr. D had made an exact clone of Kim Possible's dopey sidekick, and boyfriend. He was pretty amazing, and was exactly like the Stoppable boy down to every detail. Drakken was a master at detail after all.

The blond boy, clone of Ron Stoppable, raised a hand hesitantly and waved to them. "Hi." He greeted, giving them both a delighted yet nervous laugh.

Drakken even got the personality right.

"So, you made a clone of Kim Possible's dopey sidekick," She taped her fingers along the table as she sized the boy up again.

"Yes!" He exclaimed, his fist banging into the table, "And with him I will destroy Kim Possible once and for all!" As he threw back his head, that usual chain of maniacal laughter left his lips.

Shego paid no mind to him, however, and looked him over for the millionth time. "Care for me to take him for a test run?" She asked, hoping up from her seat at the table.

Drakken raised an eyebrow, wondering what the woman meant. He decided to voice his thoughts, "What do you mean?"

Shego grinned, and slipped into a professional fighting position, flaring up her hands as she did. Again, the rush of invincibility flowed through her, a lot stronger than usual too. But she managed to hold it in and keep her unfaltering stance.

Without any warning, she jumped at the synthodrone and slashed out a flaming clawed hand. The Ron clone dodged it, barely, and was saved from losing his synthodrone goo. He quickly kicked out from under her, and managed to hit her legs.

Shego fell backwards, but managed to catch herself and flip back onto her feet. She let out an angry growl, and let the power in her hands slip. She didn't really want to rip him open, Drakken was obviously proud of him. She just wanted to show him his place.

She punched him hard in the stomach, but he surprisingly didn't start to leak. Drakken must have given him a much stronger skin than the Eric one. So this was what he was doing while she was looking up information on Stoppable.

She flipped over him and planted a well-placed kick into the small of his back. The Ron clone went flying, not stopping until he collided with the ground and went skidding along. That would have probably knocked out anyone else, yet this synthodrone managed to get back to his feet, good as new.

"Not bad, Dr. D." She commented, admiring the synthodrone's expert fighting skills.

The Ron Stoppable clone charged her again. Once close enough, he head butted her right in the chest, and Shego was the one to go sailing this time. She didn't have a chance to catch her self this time, because she too went sliding across the cold, hard ground.

She slowly got to her feet, actually finding herself to be tired. That was an amazing feat, as even Kim Possible couldn't take the wind out of her. This made Shego smirk; maybe that was Drakken's plan. Make this Ron Stoppable clone go undercover as the real deal, and slowly kill Kim Possible from the inside. To her, that was actually genius, and just like last time, he just might win.

But she didn't want to ponder this anymore, she wanted to push this synthodrone to the max, test his limits. She was about to do something she barely ever did, go all out. Why wouldn't she? This was the only real challenge she had witnessed in over two weeks!

So with that decision made, she jumped back into battle, igniting her hands once more. The first thing she did was kick at his head, twisting it at an unnatural angle. But just like Eric, Ron's head managed to click back into place.

He grabbed onto the wrist of her flaming fist and flung her over his shoulder. Shego was quick to react, as she grabbed onto his shoulders, her hands not glowing of course, and pulled him down. The Ron clone was pulled backwards, landing on the ground with a thud. He attempted to get up, but a green boot connected with his stomach before he even lifted himself a few inches from the ground.

Despite the fact that he was a synthodrone, he winced. But he didn't have an oppoturnity to do anything else as a flaming fist headed for his face. He quickly rolled out of the way, barley dodging her, and got back to his feet.

He stood still, giving Shego an opportunity to attack, which she took. Her green hand slashed out at his synthodrone clothing, ripping away the skin as it did. Green slime slowly started to leak from the gaping hole.

But he just stood there, as though it had never happened. And as a loud roar left his lips, the skin grew back, and he was perfectly fine again.

Shego's eyes widened to the size of saucers, "But… How!" She stuttered. Her eyes slowly examined the spot where she had attacked him, only to find absolutely no sign of it.

"Simple, Shego," She heard Drakken's voice say from behind her.

She tilted her head to look at him, and found that Drakken was holding up a small piece of material. It looked very familiar to Shego, but she couldn't quite pick up where she had seen it before. As she examined its colours, blue and white, she suddenly came to the realization. That was a part of Kim Possible's new battle suit!

But that was impossible, when she had ripped off that small piece of material from Kim's new suit, it had appeared again. And the rest was sure to have been destroyed under the power of her flaming hands. But maybe she had missed a piece; it was possible…

"Upon further inspection of this small piece of material," He began again, interrupting Shego's thoughts of 'how was it possible', "I have come to the conclusion that if I used this same material to make the skin of the synthodrones then they will be self healing!" He smiled a devious smile, "No sharp mole rat teeth will get through this one's skin!" He laughed his all too popular villainous laugh and started heading for the door.

With a snap of his fingers, the Ron Stoppable clone was soon at his side. But before he left the room, he turned back to Shego, "Tomorrow, we will go out to steal something, something valuable"

Drakken opened his mouth to say something else, but Shego interrupted him before he got the chance, "What are you going to steal exactly?"

Drakken's eyes darted around the room, undoubtedly trying to find something to say, "I…Uh…Gwah…I don't know yet okay!"

Shego rolled her eyes, deciding this plan might just have to go on the fail list already, "Whatever." She commented, turning back to her table and walking over to it.

"Oh, and Shego," She heard Drakken say from behind her, "On my signal, grab the Stoppable boy."

At those words, she swung around; ready to ask him another question, but she found that he had disappeared, along with the Ron clone.

She sighed, and took her usual seat at the table. She picked up her cup and took a quick sip of it. The liquid had gone cold, but she continued to drink it, oblivious to this.

Drakken was such a mystery lately. Now he needed her to kidnap Ron Stoppable, like so many other times. How many times had they kidnapped him now, 3? 4? She had lost count. This time she knew why he wanted her to kidnap him, to swap him for that clone.

Wouldn't that mean that they would have to hold onto him for a long time? Or would they just kill him to get him out of the way? She didn't know… And quite frankly, she didn't care. So why bother thinking about it?

She picked up the paper to read it, but she was stopped as her vision flashed green. Without any warning, a beam of green light emitted from her eyes and blew a clean hole through the top of the table.

Shego gasped, and rubbed her eyes in disbelief. Since when could she do that? It had surprised her, it had scared her, and it had actually exited her. Well that was another freak accident; these occurrences really did have something to do with her powers. She didn't know if this was good or bad, but if that ever happens again, she might just end up killing someone. Strangely, that thought scared her.

With shaky fingers, she picked up her newspaper, which had luckily not been destroyed. She started to flick through it once more, hoping to just forget about what had just happened.

Thankfully, nobody had seen her.

…To be continued…
