Kim Possible: Future Past

Part 2: Waking Sleeping Beauty

"Woah!" the dark ninja-dressed guy shouted as he and the cocoon of Petri-foam materialised out of thin air in flash of light on a large flat open vista, and dived for cover as the tele-jumper attached to the ruby coloured bubble crackled once and then exploded in a blast of smoke, sparks and sizzling hot molten metal.

" 'Careful, there's a small chance it might explode'. Small chance my butt" the ninja muttered as he stood up from behind his hiding spot behind a rock and pulled off his mask before he walked over to the Petri-foam cocoon.

"Wow" he said as he ran a hand over the spot where the tele-jumper had been a few seconds ago, a spot which didn't even show any signs of the machine's violent end, not a scorch mark, crack or blemish at all.

"I guess Wade wasn't kidding when he said this stuff was indestructible" he wondered as he stared at the super hard shell, and then pressed his face up against it surface as he stared into it's murky red depths at the sleeper stuck inside.

"Hey Kim, time to wake up" he said softly, and then took a step back, reached into the bag on his back and placed a new machine unto the Petri-foam's surface, flicked it on and took a few more steps back as the machine came to life with a hum that grew and grew until with a hard whoomp! and a gust of hot air the Petri-foam shell disappeared into a thick cloud of steam that blew away in the wind to reveal the out cold Kim Possible laying on her back in the middle of a dark ring that was the only proof of her one time prison.

The ninja quickly ran to her side to check if she was breathing and as he pressed his fingers to her neck to check her pulse she groaned and stirred and half opened her eyes to stare up at him.

"Ron?" she whispered, and then sunk back into darkness.

"Yes, what is it?"

"A report just arrived from Queen Bee sir. They've been robbed"

"What?!" Senor Senior Junior, now Senor Senior Senior since the death of his father, said in shock as he spun his command chair around and glared down at his second in command, the man known as Hench as he stood at the bottom of the stairs that led up to Senior's "throne" and read the report from his handheld PDA, dressed as sharp as usual in his dark purple suit with his eyes covered by a red blindfold and his black hair glowing slightly in the lights shining about the command room.

How the man ever saw anything Senior was still trying to figure out.

But one thing was sure: Even with his eyes covered, there was nothing that escaped Hench's attention.

"They lost the cargo sir" Hench said as he scrolled through the message.

"There was an ambush in wait for them halfway to the factory led by Joss Possible and her squadron-"

"And they lost to them?" Senior asked, slightly surprised.

"No sir, they and The Broncos were both attacked by giant roaches, which gave someone enough time to break into the cargo hold and then literally vanish with the Petrafoam bubble on the spot"

"Giant roaches…. Hah! I should've known he'd try something this stupid" Senior smirked.

"Sir?"

"Nothing Hench, just thinking of the past" Senior said as he sat back in chair and steepled his fingers together.

"Is there anyway to track her?"

"Queen Bee's already working on a way to track the residual energy from the teleport our friend did, but other then that we have no other way to find her. Unless of course we see if Dr. Drakken might know something-"

"That old fool?" Senior laughed.

"If you want to waste your time, sure, go right ahead. And while you're on your way, tell that champion Hyperion of yours to gear up. I want to make sure we'll get little Kimmie back, no matter who or what we have to smash along the way. Understood?"

"Yes sir" Hench said, and left.

"Incoming message from Commander Possible, ma'am"

"Put her through" Shego said, and stepped up to the main screen of her communications department where Joss Possible blipped into a fuzzy view and saluted her.

"Sorry Shego, the mission's a bust. Some dang giant roaches came scurryin' in and messed up our whole operation"

"Roaches, huh?" Shego said thoughtfully.

"Sneaky. I wonder how he found out about this little mission... Anyhow, what's the situation with Kim? Is she still under Junior's control?"

"Nope" Joss said as she shook her head.

"A ninja lookin' fella dropped in during all the ruckus and snuck into the carrier, and then disappeared inta thin air with the Petrafoam thingy. But not too worry, I managed to tag one of them little bugs with a tracker, so once they meet up with 'Daddy', we'll be right behind him ready to get Kim back"

"Good job Joss" Shego smiled at her tenacious soldier. "Just make sure not to hurt our... friend too much when you catch up to him. I'd like to have a little talk with him when you bring Kim home"

"Roger, understood. Joss out"

"Well well" Shego grinned as she turned away from the now blank screen and stared at a shadowy figure behind her, "I guess you taught him some good tricks after all, including how to disappear I assume?"

"Yep" the figure said as he stepped into the light.

From head to toe he was clad in the outfit of a ninja, the handle of a sword jutting across one soldier and his face unreadable behind his black mask.

"He'll cover his tracks well enough to make it very, very hard to follow him, plus I'm sure he's thought of just the right route to travel"

"In over words one no one else would ever think off?" Shego asked.

"Yep" The Ninja nodded.

Shego turned and stared at the map for awhile before she turned back to the ninja and asked: "Do you know where he's going to go?"

"Oh yes, because it's just where I would've gone if I had Kim"

"Then go and find him" Shego said.

"And Shadow Hand… don't be to rough on the boy, Ok?"

"No guarantees" Shadow Hand said, and disappeared into the shadows.

"Uhhh…" Kim groaned as she slowly woke up, and grimaced at the bright light of the harsh sun glaring down at her.

With an effort she rolled to her side and slowly got up until she was sitting upright on the dusty gritty desert floor, one hand pressed against the ground as she steadied herself and tried to make some sense of what was going on.

Her whole body felt so weak, and her mind felt so foggy.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and tried to remember what she'd been doing that might explain how she'd wound up here, wherever here was.

The last thing she remembered was….

Flashing red lights

Boiling bubbling liquid

Her heart racing

A blast of heat from behind

Shego-

"Uuugh!" Kim cringed and grabbed her head as a throbbing spot of pain flashed through it, rocking her whole body.

Teeth clenched, eyes squeezed shut, heart hammering in her chest, she fought to ride out the waves of pain that lashed throughout her being.

And then, just as suddenly as it had come the pain vanished and left Kim bent over double as she gasped and gulped in large lungfulls of air.

"Hey, you Ok?" a voice suddenly asked behind her, and with a jerk Kim jumped up and spun around with her body tensed in readiness for fight or flight, and then froze as she saw the face of her opponent.

"Ron?" she said softly as she stared at the blonde haired boy.

"Oh Ron!" she cried and practically leaped at him and grabbed him in a tight hug of relief.

"I'm so glad to see you-"

"Uhm, I-I'm not Ron"

"What?" Kim said as she pushed herself of the now deeply blushing Ron look alike and took a step back in shock.

"My name's Ryujin. I'm Ron's son"

"What?!" Kim gasped wide eyed as she felt her mind spin into overdrive.

"S-son? Wha- How-?"

"I think you're going to want to be sitting down for this" Ryujin said as he gently took her arm and led her to the closest rock and waited until she was seated before he said:

"Ok, now what I'm about to tell you is going to be a bit much for your head to take, so I'll try keep it short and simple"

He took a deep breath, blew it out and told her straight:

"You've been asleep for 20 years"

To Be Continued….

20 years huh? How's that for a shocker?

And now worries, there's more shocks in store for tomorrow as Ryujin gives Kim the 411 on the future in the next chapter:
