Well, on the upside, I did get this posted before the end of July, although it wasn't quite in the same year that I had originally planned on. And I'm sorry for taking so long on actually getting this done. I just ran into some severe writer's block when it came to the fighting scene in here. But all I have to do after this is an epilogue and this fic will be complete! And I really don't expect the epilogue to take all too long, but I've also been busy in rl recently, which also made it harder to get this done, but I'll do what I can to get it finished so I can move onto other projects I have planned and promised. Anyway, onto the chapter!

Kim woke up slowly. She wasn't too surprised to see that she was out next to the stable that she was allowed to use, but what surprised her most was the fact that she was leaning against the fence, but otherwise standing up. As Kim righted her human half, she shook her head reminding herself calmly that she needed to expect to come across more surprises like this. After all, she really didn't know much about her equine half, and she probably would've known even less if she had stayed in Middleton. As it was, she wasn't sure she really wanted to try to learn more right now, at least with the difficulty that she was having with the treatment her cousin was giving her in regards to the saddle.

However, she did have to admit, if only to herself, that the saddle was getting more bearable. While she still hated that last tug, she at least was starting to feel like the saddle was a part of her now. If only it felt the same when Joss was riding her. But, at this time in the morning, it was more important to find something to eat. And not the grass or leaves that she was starting to enjoy even more.

Part of Kim was wondering how it might be if she did actually become fully human again. Would she have to get used to two legs again as well as not having all the differences that came with being part horse. Such as if she'd still have the same tastes or if she'd have just as much trouble moving around. Mostly she wondered if she actually would want to become human again. While she knew that she'd like that, she had to admit that when the chance comes, she might want to remain as a centaur. It wasn't something that was very comforting. At least not when she was more worried about what the future might hold for herself and Shego.

Kim stretched her arms as she walked into the stable and quickly changed her shirt. No point in having to explain why she was still wearing the shirt she wore yesterday. Especially since she was sure that no one knew about her secret training exercises, with the exception of Wade, but only because he seemed to know what she was doing most of the time anyway. When she came out, she saw Joss running towards her.

Not sure what was up, seeing as how their usual training time wasn't until after breakfast, and that was at least an hour away; according to the schedule Slim had around the ranch. And when it was time for training, Joss always came out with the saddle that Kim hated; regardless of the fact that she was starting to get used to it more. Kim wondered what was up. Half of her hoped that Shego had been located, especially since how she'd learned a couple days ago that Felix had been turned into a centaur as well. If it hadn't become personal when Shego had been captured, it would be now. The only downside to it all was that it was taking GJ some time to learn what they could from the craft that Felix had stolen from WEE. While it was good that they'd been able to get a lead like that, impatience was starting to flare up inside Kim. So far Kim had been able to hold herself together with it all, but now she was starting to lose her patience. Out of all the missions she'd been on, none of them had lasted near as long as this one was. Part of her was surprised that she'd been able to keep that from happening for as long as she had. Especially with her mind waking up to the realities of the world.

As Joss got close, Kim decided that Joss wasn't coming with information about where Shego was. For one thing, if anyone gave her that information first, it'd most likely be Wade. That and Joss didn't seem to be in a great hurry to tell her the news. Which meant that it wasn't something that she had to know immediately. In other words, it wasn't any news that she'd been waiting for. Kim mentally sighed when she realized that. While it was disheartening to know, there wasn't anything that she could do about it. At least right now.

"Hey Kim! Ready to go?" Joss called out as she climbed over the fence.

"Go where?" Kim asked taken back a little, not sure if there was something that Joss hadn't told her or had meant to tell her.

"To Great Falls of course!" Joss answered in her usual cheery manner.

"Um..." Kim started, but couldn't think of anything else to say.

"Okay then, let's go!" Joss exclaimed, grabbing Kim's arm and pulling

Finally Kim found a train of thought that allowed her to speak. "Hey, Joss, what're we going to be doing at Great Falls?"

Joss stopped trying to move forward and gaped at Kim in surprise. "Don't tell me you forgot!"

"Forgot what?" Kim asked, crossing her arms over her chest. After all, if anyone forgot anything, apparently it was Joss who forgot to tell her. Either that or it was her dad that forgot to tell her, seeing as how they were going to be traveling at least 45 minutes. Unless they were going to the actual great falls rather than the city.

"Dad has a conference that's goin' on today! So we're goin' to explore the town while he's busy there!" Joss informed Kim, her usual excitement showing through her calm demeanor she had a moment ago. Something Kim was sure Joss had tried really hard to maintain.

Kim sighed. This would probably explain why Joss forgot to tell her. Excitement was written all over her face at the prospect of going there that it probably slipped her mind that she'd need to tell Kim about it.

But as fate would have it, as Kim jumped over the fence so she could go to the house with Joss, the Kimmunicator went off. Kim wasn't sure what to expect when she answered it. "Hold on, Joss," Kim said, as she turned it on. "Go Wade."

"Kim, I just got word from GJ that they've found a few WEE lairs. They're searching for anything that might lead us to Shego, but it'll take some time either way," Wade answered.

"Thanks Wade! Let me know when they learn more," Kim told Wade. This certainly was the best news that she'd had in a while. Especially when it wasn't mixed in with some bad news like with Felix.

The preparations had apparently already been made. The worst part was that Kim saw that she'd have to ride in the horse trailer again. While she understood the need for it when she had come to Montana, she had hoped that that one time would have been the only need for her to use it. But she could tell that there wasn't going to be much of a discussion about it, so she just resigned herself to riding in the horse trailer as she entered it.

Shego yawned as she left her room. She was planning on talking with Cameron about a few things. Such as if she'd actually be able to get out of the base anytime soon, even for just a little fresh air. While she hadn't complained yet about being stuck in the base, she was starting to feel a little cramped. Not that she wasn't used to that feeling, having worked with Drakken for as long as she had, but it's nice to get outside every so often. Especially when your entire body is a lot larger than it had been. As turning into a centaur would do to you.

As she started to wander the halls, she noticed that the base seemed to be almost deserted. Even Cameron seemed to have disappeared. So, Shego made her way to a command room. While she doubted that they wanted her to know where the three command rooms were, that she had already located, she didn't care if they really wanted her to know where they were or not. After all, she'd spent some time in learning the locations of those three rooms without anyone knowing that she'd learned of them. As well as a few other locations of a few rooms. Which Shego occasionally wondered why they'd care if she knew where they were.

Though, the first thing she made certain to do when she got in there was figure out where she was. After that, she decided to just look around. Since Cameron wasn't there, she couldn't talk with him about if she'd be allowed to spend some time outside, but she could still learn about the area surrounding the base. Seeing as how no one in the base seemed to be interested in that topic. Shego suspected that the agents in the base all assumed that she knew where they were and was pulling a prank or something. At least with their reactions to the inquiries that she'd made. Although, Cameron never seemed to give her a straight answer about it, which always tweaked something in the back of her mind. Which Shego had already learned, from past experiences, was rarely a good thing.

However, the first thing that she'd noticed was a rather large group of WEE agents a few miles north of the base. While they seemed to be resting, she couldn't be sure what they were up to, especially since they seemed almost like they were trying to hide. Which if they were, Shego wondered who put their disguises together, as she could see their uniforms under whatever civilian clothes they had put on over it. And she'd thought that Drakken's henchmen were some of the dimmest of the bunch.

Shego watched them for a few minutes, unsure of what she should do. She couldn't be sure that Cameron would be back in time for her to tell him about what she saw, and even then, she couldn't be sure if reinforcements would be able to make it in time to stop them from doing whatever it was that they intended to do. Which just left one alternative in her mind. And it wasn't one that she exactly favored as well.

On the upside, she told herself, she could have come up with something worse. Such as feeling like she could only ask her brothers for help.

Drakken threw his wrench across the room. While he'd just finished yet another diablo robot, it just felt like he was making more just to have something to do. It wasn't like they were actually going to be used now that Shego had completely abandoned him. A part of him was also wondering why he was even bothering to continue to make them now in the fist place.

Besides that, the doctor had told him to stop kicking his things when he started feeling this way, otherwise his foot wouldn't heal properly. Which he was starting to not care anymore. Of course there was the pain to think about, but after a while of feeling so depressed, he usually stopped caring. At least until he broke the cast his foot was in again. Then he'd call the doctor to set up an appointment, just to start this whole cycle over again.

At least his thoughts were taking him in a different direction this time. Now he just wanted to go back to his room and wish the world would collapse in on him, taking care of his problems for him. But, as he was opening the door to leave his lab, his phone started to ring.

At first he stared at the phone, his mind failing to grasp what he was supposed to do about it. Finally, when his mind started to work properly again, he rushed over to put it over his giant computer screen. When the image came on the screen, he couldn't help but just gape incredulously at who appeared on the screen. Out of everyone that could have appeared, Shego was one of the last people he expected.

Even so, it took him several minutes to realize that she was talking to him. And when he finally realized that, he was a little surprised that she wasn't upset with him. Maybe being away helped make her a little more calm when dealing with him.

"Hey Drakken!" Shego called out, apparently thinking that his mind still hadn't grasped the fact that she was saying something; not that Drakken fully blamed her. "Listen up!"

"Have you finally decided to join me again?" Drakken asked without thinking, already half-convinced that was the reason she was calling.

Shego sighed on the screen. Which made Drakken cringe reflexively. "All I need is some help." Drakken almost couldn't believe what he was hearing. "The base that GJ is keeping me safe in has a large group of WEE agents a few miles away. And if they come to the base I'm at, I don't know if I'll be able to handle that many."

"Don't worry, Shego! I'll send every robot I've got on hand!" Drakken informed her, already moving to send out all of his synthodrones, destruct-o-bots, and diablos.

"Hold on!" Shego called out to him. "I'm sending the coordinates to get here!" Drakken hardly heard her. He was just too excited at the prospect of being needed by Shego that he barely had time to even begin to fully pay attention to everything that she had to say. And while Drakken had been focusing on getting them ready to move out, his mind did at least register what she was saying, so he did at least make sure to type in the correct coordinates as he got his army ready to move. After all, this was his big chance to prove to Shego that he WAS all that! And maybe get her back on his side! After all, why else would she have called if she didn't want to get back with him?

Kim glared at the horse trailer as she got out. That thing couldn't possibly be more uncomfortable as far as Kim was concerned. The saddle was extremely minor compared to the aggravation of that stupid horse trailer. Depending on how Kim felt when it was time to go back, she might take the option of walking. At least then she'd be able to really move around as she liked. And wouldn't have to worry about getting bored either. Especially since there wasn't a reason for her to really need to be in it, now that people seemed to have been getting turned into centaurs all over the world. But then again, Kim knew that Global Justice did want to keep her location a secret. For the most part anyway, and for the moment at least; as far as she could tell right now.

Kim felt a little impatient when Joss started to put on her saddle. Even though Kim wasn't really sure about it, she did acknowledge that it would be better for Joss to be riding her back on a saddle rather than riding bareback or walking. Even though it didn't take too long, Kim felt that it was still taking too long. For some reason she just wanted to be moving right now. She didn't care where to, just so long as they were moving. Possibly it was because of the news Wade had given her, but she knew that it wasn't that much of it. Because even if they found out where Shego was, there wasn't that much of a chance that that location would be anywhere near where Kim would be. The world was just too big for that to be likely. Maybe it was just that she'd been pretty much inactive, aside from getting used to her new form, that she just really needed to be moving in areas she wasn't used to. Regardless of the reason, Kim was happy when Joss finally gave the strap holding the saddle on that final, if extremely irritating and aggravating, tug.

But, when Joss and Kim started to leave the parking lot at the building that to take a walk around the city, a sight kept them from moving more than a step away.

Even though she wasn't really sure how she felt at the sight of him, the conflicting emotions too big of a jumble for her to sort out that quickly, Kim was the first to recover enough to speak.

"Ron?"

The figure shook his head. While it appeared to be Ron, both Kim and Joss knew that he was dead; which meant that it couldn't be Ron. And yet, somehow it was. Even when he spoke, it had Ron's voice.

"Hey, Kim," the potential Ron said. Kim now could only feel shock. Then, slowly, all of the pain of losing him once was starting to come back. However, what was said next completely shot those feelings to pieces, leaving only pure and unbridled anger.

"What do you think of the improvements to my holographic system?" he asked as he picked up a rock off the ground and started tossing it up and down, catching it each time.

Kim wasn't sure what she did. She was barely even aware of Joss' cries of surprise when she suddenly lurched forward, charging the holo-Ron. It was only after she passed completely through him that she was able to start controlling herself again. And while she'd regained control of herself again, she still glared at him, not caring that Wade was still one of the few close friends she had. Although, with what he'd just done, that friendship could come to a close after Shego was found. Depending on what his explanation was, of course. After all, he had to know she wouldn't take him doing something like this lightly.

"Why'd you have to do that!?" Wade demanded. "Now I have to repair it!" Kim vaguely noticed that whatever improvements had been made to the system, it didn't seem to be working right now. Possibly due to her charging right through it.

"Before you do that, you goin' to explain why your system looks like Ron, mister?" Apparently Joss was quite upset at what Wade did as well.

"Everyone knows that Ron's dead, so I thought if they see him fighting, it might give us an edge," Wade answered, the hologram not moving. Which let them know he was working on fixing whatever broke while talking with them.

"You better have a more of a reason than that, Wade," Kim growled.

"It's just that there's a few bases where we think Shego's being held. You're near one of them now, and Dr. Director thought you might like to see for yourself," Wade replied quickly.

Kim found herself suddenly being cautious, which surprised her. She had thought that she'd jump at the attempt to be rescuing Shego and here it is being presented to her on the metaphorical silver platter. But with the way Wade said it, she wasn't sure if it was everything that she thought it would be.

"Is there anything else?" Kim asked, wanting to know everything, rather than what she was getting. And she felt like there was something that she wasn't being told. Maybe it was Wade trying to protect her from something, but it was certainly getting on her nerves having to ask for the pieces of information she was getting. While maybe Wade thought this part was like one of his computer or video games that he could move at his leisure, she was not in the mood to dance around the issue.

"Just that if you do want to see if Shego's there, GJ won't be able to help. They have their hands full as it is with so much of the world having been turned into centaurs that they barely have enough for a couple small task forces to take on the other bases," Wade answered, sounding a little depressed.

Kim sighed. She understood why he was a little depressed at that. Whenever she had thought of finding Shego, it had always been with Global Justice helping her out. But now it seemed like she'd be on her own like she'd always been in the past. But this time, she wasn't sure how well she'd be able to do. As all the missions she'd gone on had been when she was human, not a centaur. But, there was only one thing she could do about it. After all, she could do anything. And now was the time to prove her slogan right again.

"Will Monique be with me?"

The holo-Ron grinned. Apparently the repairs didn't take too long to make. "She's already on her way."

"Spankin'!" Kim cheered. The turned her attention to Joss, turning around as best as she could to look at her. "I need you to wait here, Joss."

"But..!" Joss started to protest, but was quickly cut off by Kim.

"I need you to let your dad know what's happening. That way he can get ready for two centaurs when I'm done."

Kim could sense that Joss wasn't happy about what she'd just said, but she still slid off the saddle and took a step away.

"Okay, but remember, when you're done, you still owe me that ride!"

Kim laughed. "Okay. But don't be surprised if Shego wants to come as well."

Kim watched Joss run off towards the building that her uncle had gone into when Joss was securing Kim's saddle as she felt the halo-Ron climb into onto her saddle.

As they started to move off where Wade directed, Kim noticed the clouds looking dark in the distance.

"Hey Wade?" Kim asked.

"Yeah?"

"Is your holo-Ron good against water?"

"Yeah. I thought there was a good chance that there'd be rain when I first made it so there shouldn't be a problem with a little rain."

Kim nodded as she started to move at a canter, hoping that nothing would stand between her and reuniting with Shego again.

No matter what Kim said, as soon as Joss saw Kim leave, she quickly wrote a note for her father down and put it in the truck where she knew her dad would see. Then she quickly started after Kim. And while horses were generally faster than people, it didn't seem like Kim was moving at a really fast pace. So as long as she remembered to stay far enough behind Kim that she wouldn't see her, she'd be able to make it and help Kim out on this mission.

Because even if she had the whole of Team Possible there, Shego included, there wasn't any guarantee that they'd be able to handle all the WEE agents they found there. So, she knew that Kim would need her help, whether she wanted to admit it or not. Which meant that she'd be able to get her chance to maybe convince Kim she could join up.

Shego had made sure she was ready for any fight that might come her way. Even if Dr. D's robots showed up in time, there was no way she'd let them have all the action. Especially since she'd be able to really see how well she could fight in this form. It wasn't something that exactly appealed to her, but she didn't have a choice anyway, so she might as well see what she could do.

She'd put on a shirt made out of the closest material her old catsuit was made out of, even though this material wasn't nearly as strong. But it'd have to do until she could get something better. At least it should hold up during a fight, she told herself. Although, she still felt awkward about only having a top on, she knew she'd have to get used to that anyway. And a fight would help, due to the fact that she wouldn't be able to concentrate on that during the fight, unless she wanted to get severely beaten, which she'd do to herself if her opponent didn't; if that happened.

A proximity alarm suddenly rang out. Shego couldn't help but smile at the prospect of having a fight after having been cooped up in the base for so long. Nothing could feel as good to Shego at this moment. Even if she was able to meet up with Kim, she wasn't sure if she'd feel any better than she did right now. With all the adrenaline pumping in her veins and anticipation making her whole body itch. That was a feeling Shego had always relished. And while she placed that feeling on the same level as being with or getting reunited with Kim, she hadn't been in a fight or so much as a sparring match, in so long that the effect was even greater than it usually was. Or at least greater than she remembered it being.

Shego quickly rounded up all the agents she had been able to find still in the base to confront whatever was going to come through. While she hoped it was Dr. D's robots, and it would then be a false alarm, she doubted that it would be. Her money was on WEE agents sent there for whatever reason. At least she knew she'd be as prepared as she was going go be.

Kim met up with Monique, about a mile away from where the entrance of the base was supposed to be. So far there didn't seem to be any problems. But Kim wasn't expecting to make their plan of attack this far out at least. Unless there were other entrances Wade and GJ didn't know about, they were still too far from the entrance for WEE to place any sort of security traps or alarms. Which meant it was a great place to make some plans with Monique and Wade about what they'd do when they went in.

"Ok, Monique, you know what we're going to do here, right?" Kim asked, hoping she could save time by not restating all that she'd been told by Wade.

"Yeah. We're gonna see if your girlfriend is in there and kick some WEE ass while we're at it!" Monique answered enthusiastically.

Kim wasn't sure if she should be happy that Monique was so enthusiastic about it or if she should be concerned, but there wasn't time for her to really contemplate that. So, she let it slide. "Right. But, if they have Shego there, they'll probably have Will Du there as well." Monique nodded. "So, while Wade and I take care of the agents that'll come at us when we enter the base, I want you to look for where they might be holding Will or Shego. And I don't know if they'll both be at this base, or if only one might, but we'll still need you to see in case we need to get out quickly."

"Ok. I'll let you handle the main action and I'll see what I can find in there," Monique answered.

"Um, Kim? Shouldn't I look around for Shego or Will?" Wade asked, sounding like he'd rather avoid the fighting altogether.

"Sorry Wade, but you upgraded your holo-Ron, so if something happens, you'll just have to repair it somehow during the fight. If something happens to Monique, she'll probably be out of the fight completely."

Wade sighed. Apparently he really didn't want to fight, but was accepting Kim's decision as the leader of Team Possible. Not that she really blamed Wade for that.

"Ok then. Let's go," Kim stated, as she started galloping towards the base, leaving Monique to run after her once she got out of the parachute that she'd used after she jumped from the plane that brought her.

Shego was in a state of shock as she watched the feed from the security cameras on the monitor.

Kim was a centaur too?

Shego shook her head. Even if that was true and Monique was there, there was no possible way that Ron could be alive as well. While Shego still wasn't happy with the time that Kim had spent with Ron before they got together, even though she didn't hold that against Kim, she still remembered that it was at Ron's death that she let Kim know of the feelings that she had for the redhead. And with that being partly with Ron being killed, there wasn't any possible way that she could think of that he'd be there. Which said to her that all three were likely clones, or had some weird suit on to make them look like that, sent to get her to lose her edge.

Shego smirked to herself as she turned away and got the agents in place. Whoever decided on trying this tactic was going to be sorely disappointed at the results, especially if Shego was able to get her hands on whoever thought of trying that tactic. Because while it could have gotten to her, it certainly let her know someone wanted to be hurt. And bad.

As the centaur-Kim came into the base, Shego made sure she wouldn't make it much farther than just past the door. As she charged at the centaur-Kim, the Ron and Monique impostors climbed off centaur-Kim's back as Shego was met with a shocked look from the centaur-Kim.

As Shego continued her assault, she could tell this couldn't possibly her Kim, since her Kim wouldn't have such a feeble defense like this. Even though she saw the fake Ron and Monique move to her sides, she knew the GJ agents would have her back so she could focus entirely on this centaur-Kim before her. Even though she defense was picking up, keeping her from punching though to her.

Kim barely had time to react when she saw Shego coming straight at her with her hands glowing with her comet powers. Out of all possible scenarios she had thought of in her mind, this never occurred to her that something like this would happen. Even if it was a clone of Shego, which she really doubted, she hadn't mentally prepared herself for something like this, which meant that she had to regain her mental footing before she could really fight.

Which meant she was pushed outside before she had much of a chance to fight back. Which also then provided a bit more room to maneuver than she probably would have had inside the WEE base, considering the brief glimpse she had of the inside as she saw Shego attacking.

It took Kim about a minute of furiously blocking Shego's attacks before she was able to start fighting back. All she hoped is that she had been able to train herself in this centaur body enough.

Joss was shocked to see Kim fighting Shego, even though both were centaurs. Talk about a fight between lovers, Joss thought to herself before mentally scolding herself as soon as she had that thought. While she would have like to join in the fighting, she had noticed something coming before she got close to the base. It had looked like a large group of people, but Joss didn't have time to make sure if it was or not. Whatever it was, Joss was sure it wasn't good, since most people were staying in their homes or at least in their towns, afraid of becoming centaurs themselves or just worried about friends and family. Or at least that was what the reporter had speculated. Which told Joss whatever it was, it couldn't be good, with no chance of reinforcements from GJ being possible, considering what Wade had told Kim earlier.

So, she did her best to move around Kim and Shego to get into the base and try to help Monique get Will Du. Of course she'd been close enough to hear Kim's battle plan. Or at least the tail end of it, since she hadn't realized Kim had stopped moving when she met up with Monique. But at least she hadn't given herself away by accident.

As she slipped inside, she almost got crushed by an agent being thrown up against the wall. As Joss looked, she noticed that apparently Monique didn't have time to start looking for Will Du. There weren't that many agents around, but there at least were enough that Wade's holo-Ron wasn't able to take them all on by himself. Although, Joss wondered briefly if Wade had set up the controls to be like a video game or if he just made a fighting program to use in this fight.

Joss looked around and tried to take what looked like a side passage close in, but as she got closer, realized it was a trick of the light. Apparently the only way for her to go was through the group of WEE agents that blocked Wade and Monique.

Joss pulled out her newly improved imitation of Kim's hair dryer grappling gun and fired it to pull herself over all the WEE agents. Or at least almost all of them, as apparently one had noticed her and had been able to grab her ankle as she zoomed by, causing Joss to lose her grip on her own grappling gun. Although, it seemed that while the agent had noticed her, he didn't think she was much of a threat, considering the ease with which Joss smashed her free heel into his groin after she landed on the ground. She then pulled herself quickly up and smashed his face with a roundhouse kick before running off to try and find Will Du.

Shego had to admit that the centaur-Kim was pretty good. But Shego was confidant that if she wasn't a centaur herself, this fight would already have been over. Even though she was still as good with her punches, having a horse's body certainly made the footwork a lot different, as well as making it difficult to kick some of the time. Although, she was surprised to learn that her front hooves could light up with her glow power when she was on her rear legs. But that glow went out as soon as she landed. Which meant it wasn't something she could probably use to her advantage a whole lot.

Although, this fight really was getting to the point where Shego was about to just blow a hole in the centaur-Kim. Since she was getting more and more confident that it was a clone. Even though this centaur-Kim had started of with a shaky defense, she was now keeping up with her as good as Kim had when they had been enemies. But Shego wasn't sure if she'd be able to do it anyway. Even if she knew it couldn't be Kim that she was fighting right now, it looked too much like Kim for her to feel confident that she'd be able to do that. Although knocking her out cold was something she was sure she'd still be able to do if she could just get the chance.

After a brief flurry of punches, both combatants fell back, assessing each other when suddenly a blur of something flying past them startled them. Apparently the Ron clone had been thrown out of the base as agents started going after it as Shego stepped further back, moving her eyes back to the centaur-Kim as the agents moved to tackle the Ron clone. But Shego stopped for a moment as they flew right through the Ron clone, with a little mosaic of an electrical image getting disturbed. Whatever it was, it certainly wasn't a clone. Which meant that maybe the centaur-Kim might not be flesh and blood either.

But in case she was wrong, Shego made sure to not send an energy blast at Kim more than something living would be able to handle. Although, it would still damage her a bit, it still wouldn't kill her, so she wouldn't have to feel like she was watching her Kim die in front of her.

So, Shego charged into centaur-Kim again, letting her get a few punches past her guard, as Shego wanted to be sure her energy blast would connect. And as it did, it seemed to stun "Kim" more than anything else. And as far as Shego could tell, she wasn't stunned by any effects of the blast, just out of surprise. Part of Shego was glad that they hadn't expected her to do that, but the other part was not entirely sure that her earlier assumptions were correct. But there were enough strange things going on to at least make her pause her next attack. So, depending on what the Kim-clone did next would determine what she'd do next.

One thing at least was certain about this fight now. Shego wasn't making the offensive for the first time in a long time.

Joss ran through the hallways, not really sure where she was going. Part of her was already wondering if she'd be able to make it back on her own if she couldn't find Will. After all, there was no guarantee that he was even in this base. Even though Shego had apparently been here, they couldn't be sure that they were both kept together, so to speak.

Suddenly a door opened next to Joss, startling her into tripping over something one of the henchmen must have just left on the ground when Kim had shown up. As Joss quickly tried to pick herself up, she could tell that whoever it was probably wasn't one of the WEE agents. For one thing, Joss was sure that they'd've already taken her down if they were.

As she stood up, she looked and was surprised to see that it was Will. However, it was clear that he wasn't completely fine. He seemed partly aware of his surroundings, at least enough to move along the wall for support. So, Joss immediately moved to help support him, even though her side that she landed on a moment ago was aching fiercely. Though, as they came to turns in the base, it seemed that Will knew where he wanted to go, because when Joss tried to direct him to where she thought the exit was, he moved to go another way.

"Well, I guess I'll just have to let him decide how to get out," Joss muttered to herself, surrendering to the fact that he seemed to know where he was going, even though he hadn't yet seemed to take notice of her yet. But, regardless of that fact, Joss made sure to help him anyway. After all, that way she could be sure to end up outside with Will when they made it, so Kim would know how helpful she had been. Which would hopefully let her join her on her next mission. Instead of trying to make her wait on the sidelines. No matter what, that just wasn't going to happen.

Kim wasn't sure what Shego was up to. The blast that she had hit her with a moment before hardly had the force she was used to getting from Shego. While she wasn't surprised at Shego using her powers, she was at least surprised at how weak of a blast it was. Then when Shego moved to a defensive stance, Kim decided that Shego was waiting for her to make the next move. And while she wasn't sure what would be the best move to make, she was sure that either backing away or walking towards Shego wouldn't be good ideas. So, Kim pulled herself into a guarded stance, mostly in case one of the WEE agents decided to try their hand at taking her down. Not that she thought it was a likely possibility. But it always paid to be prepared.

So, both started watching each other, waiting for the other to move. Then, finally Shego broke the silence between them.

"So, how many of you did they make?"

Kim was surprised at the question. Firstly, she had no idea what Shego was referring to and secondly, she had no idea what she actually meant. Such as did she mean what Wade did with his holo-program or did she mean Centaurs? And wouldn't she know about the centaurs bit? Kim asked herself.

So, with nothing coming to mind of what to reply with, she just remained silent.

"Okay, so I guess that means you think you're the real Kim," Shego said when Kim didn't answer her question.

"What?"

Shego smirked, which seemed to make Kim's blood boil, which she tried to calm down quickly and assumed it was just how condescending that smirk was. "I can understand, seeing as how WEE probably wouldn't want you to learn what they didn't want to to know."

"Like where to find this place?" Kim shot back, now giving herself a smirk. If Shego thought that she was a clone, that could easily mean that the Shego that was in front of her was actually a clone as well.

Shego's face blanked for a minute before getting her smirk back in place. "I meant that they'd want you to think you were the real Kim when the real Kim isn't like me now."

It took a moment for Kim to realize what Shego meant. "No, we both turned into centaurs at the same time. I saw the videos Dr. Director showed me."

"I saw the video that Will Du's brother showed me. It clearly showed that I was turned into a centaur while it left you alone. And then WEE took you and your sidekick Monique."

Even though Kim wanted to respond in another way, her question was out before she even realized it. "Will has a brother?"

A brief flash of confusion spread over Shego's face so quickly that Kim wasn't sure if she really had seen it. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that I never thought that Will had any family. He at least never mentioned it before."

"Yeah, I guess that would be a bit surprising," Shego answered, letting her guard down as if they were just having a casual conversation rather than sort of in the middle of a fight.

However, if she was going to say more, she didn't get the chance as Wade called out to her. "Kim! There's reinforcements on their way! We'll have to come back to see if we can get Will as well. Just get Shego and we still might be able to get out of here in time!"

Shego just gave Kim a look that let her know that it wasn't going to be nearly that simple. Although, Kim did risk a glance towards the entrance of the base to see if Monique might be coming out with Will or anything. But she didn't see anything. However, Shego did launch into an attack when she let herself get distracted like that. Not that it really gave Shego an edge, as Kim was able to keep up at the same pace, although she was getting a little tired, considering how much she'd been moving that day as well as fighting Shego always left her tired afterwards. Added to the fact that she was still getting used to her equine body as well.

But what took her down was something that she completely didn't expect. While she was having another face off with Shego, allowing both participants a brief reprieve in the fight, she felt a sharp pain on her rump. She quickly looked to see a dart of some kind sticking in her body. She probably would have recognized it had she had any time to do so before a surge of electricity surged through her body, making any kind of thought nearly impossible before the darkness claimed her.

Shego watched in disbelief as Kim fell to the ground, twitching with the after effects of the electricity in her body. She'd seen a few WEE agents appear, but she never expected them to take down the person who was supposed to have been on their side. Or at least the person she had let herself believe was on their side. Although, she would have tried to bluff her way into making the agents think that she was on their side as well, but with their weapons trained on her, she knew that it wasn't likely that they'd be willing to listen. As it is, she was wondering more about how much time she'd have before they took her down the same way that Kim was taken down.

But what occurred was something she'd given up on happening. Drakken's robot army showed up. While most of them were on a different side of the base, a synthodrone dropped down from a Lil Diablo that seemed to be ferrying other synthodrones and a few Destruct-o-bots.

"What are your orders?" the synthodrone inquired.

Shego didn't even need time to think of what to say. She just replied instinctively. "Attack and capture all WEE agents."

Shego would have joined in the fight, but she felt a sharp pain of a dart hitting her where her human body met her equine body. While she knew that it wasn't going to be pleasant, she knew that she'd at least be with Kim when she finally came to. And with that thought firmly situated in her mind, she let the electrical shock pull her into the sweet dark oblivion of unconsciousness.

Monique slowly got up. Her head was pounding where she had been hit and knocked unconscious during the fight. She stumbled towards the entrance to the base and immediately thought that she must have received brain damage or something when she'd been knocked out. Because she saw WEE agents fighting robots that could only have been made by Dr. Drakken, who, last time she checked, was still enemies with Kim. Although, the robots didn't seem to react to a GJ jet that suddenly flew into view. So, even though she knew that the robots had to be a hallucination, or at least was convinced that's what they were, she started to make her way to where the jet was landing.

As she glanced at the robots fighting WEE agents, she noticed that it seemed more like the robots were making sure that they hadn't missed any WEE agents, who were tied up. At least those who weren't either making a run for it or fighting the robots.

As the GJ agents in the jet came out, she was about to greet them, but she wasn't allowed a chance before they asked, "Where's Agent Du?"

Monique blinked. She'd thought that Wade had contacted them, so she wasn't ready with a response and had to take a moment to get her mind back in order.

"What? I haven't seen him since I got here."

The look that the agents gave Monique made her feel like they didn't think much of her. Not that she really cared. After all, it wasn't like she was on the GJ payroll, so she really didn't have to wait for their approval. She just had to let them think that they were in charge when Kim was usually the one placed in charge on the missions she went on.

"Well, we received word from Agent Du that he needed a transport out of here."

A thought suddenly occurred to Monique. "Wait, I thought GJ didn't have any agents to spare to send here."

"They did send most of our available agents to the other two locations, but we were kept in reserve so we could evacuate Agent Du or Agent Shego if necessary."

Monique struggled to hold in the smirk that she felt suddenly come on. Whoever this agent was, they thought that Shego was an actual agent. It took all of her strength of will to not burst out laughing at the thought. Of course, she might tell Shego in order to get a laugh out of her as well. But she quickly was able to suppress that urge by focusing back on the sitch at hand.

"I haven't seen Agent Du since I got here, but I did try to look for him. At least before I was knocked out in a fight with WEE agents."

"Really? We were hoping that you'd be able to tell us why these robots are fighting for us," the other agent commented.

"Yeah, I thought it was a result from getting hit on the head myself," Monique commented, turning her head to survey the scene. As her gaze moved past the WEE base, she saw someone moving out of the base. At this distance she couldn't really tell, but she figured that it was probably Will Du. Although, it looked like there was someone else with him.

The agents seemed to see him the same moment Monique did, as they rushed past Monique to where he was coming out. Monique sighed and looked around for where Kim was. Out of everything that had happened, she expected her long-time friend to still be standing up, so she was surprised to not see her anywhere. And as she made her way to where she thought Kim had been when they'd separated so Kim could fight Shego, she wondered what happened. For one thing, it wasn't simple to take Kim down, and usually wasn't easy.

As she found Kim, she was shocked to see that Shego was knocked out as well. At the very least, she expected one of them to be standing still. So, she quickly moved to make sure that both were still alive. And once she verified that, she ran back to the jet in order to get something at least soft to put under Kim's and Shego's heads. So when they did come to, they'd have something soft to have their heads on.
