Author's Note: This is a sequel to The Smartymart Incident.
Based on a recurring idea of mine that Shawn Stoppable is the greatest evil. The perfect villain for Zorpox to contend with in this alternate Kim Possible universe.

Ch 1: Dark Reign
Approx 1 Yr after the Smartymart Incident
Bonnie and Rufus watched Kim Possible as she stared out the window at the ground rushing past below. Kim had grown increasingly introspective the past year. Closed off and focused. She was often like that travelling to and from missions. Bonnie wondered if their craft, the Q-RAT, had something to do it with it. Wade had worked on the craft, but was captured before he could give it a proper acronym.
More than just being closed off, Kim hardly ever smiled any more. Bonnie couldn't blame her. For the past year a war had been raging across the planet. Not an overt war with armies and tanks, but a covert war between the remains of Global Justice and Worldwide Evil Empire. Of course that didn't diminish the risk. Nothing less than control of the planet was at stake. It was enough to make anyone grim. At least Global Justice didn't need to worry about any of the other Supervillains. Sooner or later they were all forced to either pick a side or leave the game altogether.
'ETA to target 10 minutes Director,' Shego called from the pilot seat.
Kim didn't take her eyes off the window as she responded. Her young voice was full of authority, 'everyone, check that your weapons are at full charge. And strap in.'
'Yes Director,' the GJ Commandos chorused.
'Shego, hit the pavement,' Kim ordered.
'Yes Director,' Shego responded, her voice crisp and respectful. Nine months ago her response would have been heavy with sarcasm at the very least. Both Shego and Drakken had joined Global Justice WEE destroyed their island lair, but not before making off with the designs for several of Drakken's more promising inventions. The WEE certainly put them to better use than Drakken did. Even on the same team though, it had taken a run in with Zorpox himself to break Shego's attitude problem. Nothing scared Shego. Nothing except Zorpox. Kim herself had pulled Shego out of that one.
Shego put the craft into a vertical dive. They needed to get low if they were to approach undetected. Not that Zorpox was ever fooled. Despite the stealth capabilities of the Q-RAT, not to mention the crazy skill of its pilot, Zorpox always knew.
Director Kim Possible stared out the window, asking herself once again a simple question. How had it come to this? The rise of Zorpox had been so rapid, so devastating, so completely unexpected.
One month after the Smartymart brawl, Ron showed up as Zeta, Gemini's right hand man. The next month Dr Director received Gemini's eye patch in the mail. Gemini had been the victim of a 'hostile takeover'. From there Zeta, now know as Zorpox the Conqueror, launched coordinated attacks on Global Justice prisons around the world, trying to recruit Supervillains to his cause. Supervillains however aren't known for their gratitude or loyalty. Zorpox was forced to crush them one by one, than absorb what was left of their organisations. Hench Co bowed to his will, as did DNAmy and Frugal Lucre. Others like Duff Killigan joined Global Justice. Monkey Fist attempted to take Ron on himself. It was said that he now lives in a cage as the personal pet of Zorpox.
During this hectic period Global Justice, Team Possible, Drakken and Dementor were able to deal crushing defeats to WEE by working together. It was nothing but a ruse. Zorpox was just positioning himself. When he was ready, he lured Dr Director and her team of elite agents into a trap. Drakken's henchmen defected to WEE and Dementor was revealed to be a double agent. For Kim the most devastating blow was the loss of computer hacker Wade Load. Wade was captured when his home was invaded by WEE agents. The young genius put up a good fight, but most of his defence systems had been anticipated.
Together Zorpox and Dementor even sacked GJ headquarters itself, kidnapping top scientists, learning the identities of GJ moles in WEE and destroying GJ's ability to track their movements. Things looked hopeless.
It was then that Kim Possible was forced to step up. Despite her young age she took up the mantle of Director and rallied the world's law enforcement agencies for a counter assault. Agencies like the FBI, MI5, FSB, and DGSE; Superhero groups such as Team GO, Team Impossible and a cybernetic enhanced Felix Renton as the new Fearless Ferret; defenders of justice around the world fought back. Even a mysterious school of ninja joined their cause, sending some of their best students to join Kim in her crusade against what they called the 'Unstoppable'.
Fully half of the captured scientists and agents were recovered over the next few months. GJ even managed to capture the traitorous Dementor. Since then GJ and WEE had been locked in a bitter struggle. All of the recovered scientists and other brilliant minds around the world were put into hiding along with their families. Kim's own family was hidden; security so tight around them that she hadn't seen her parents or the tweebs in months.
WEE's long term goals were as yet unknown. Some of Kim's analysts thought Zorpox was content with random destruction. Some thought his attacks were just distractions while Zorpox moved his real forces into place for the final assault. Most of GJ thought Zorpox was just plain nuts. After a year of battles, Kim had to agree with all three theories. Zorpox was a crazy, random genius. It was hard to believe that he was once the lovable Ron Stoppable. Hard to believe Kim once felt a connection to him. Hard to believe she still did.
Zorpox the Conqueror sat in the office of a large warehouse, watching as his men put the finishing touches on his Mega EMP Generator. Usually Zorpox would take the honour for himself. He took great pride in his evil devices after all. But since the generator was nothing but a decoy it could be left in the not so capable hands of the henchmen. Instead Zorpox checked his jamming systems, shield generator and missile defence systems. It wouldn't do give the military a free shoot with their satellite laser cannons or smart bombs. They were getting to be annoyingly persistent lately.
'Hey Zorpox, we got a problem,' Frugal Lucre said as he entered the office.
'Ugh. Kimberly or Shawn?' Zorpox asked, hoping the answer was Kim.
'Shawn, kinda, though Kim should be arriving any minute now too.'
'I'm plagued by red heads,' Zorpox moaned, 'what has the little terror done now?'
'Taken an apartment building hostage 'bout ten blocks from 'ere,' Lucre informed his master. 'Electronique and Fukushima are with him.'
'The hot tempered shocker and the ninja traitor. Great.' Something about that ninja unsettled Zorpox, and that was saying something. He had been caught by surprise when a secret ninja school joined the forces of Global Justice. It seemed that none of his carefully laid plans were hidden from them. The devastation they had wrought on WEE was immense. Then Fukushima betrayed his brothers to Zorpox, identifying their spy's and revealing the location of their secret ninja school. His reasoning, he thought it was inevitable that the 'Unstoppable' would emerge victorious. His information allowed Zorpox to sack the school, steal their relics and capture an old windbag known as Sensei.
Zorpox was happy with his new minion, at first. Fukushima had allowed Zorpox to eliminate a dangerous nest of enemies. He was also impressed by the Lotus Blade, adding it to his private collection of interesting artefacts. One of his many projects was to unlock the magical swords potential. Yes, Fukushima had provided an invaluable service to Zorpox.
But lately the ninja had become... unreliable. For the first few months he had constantly referred to Zorpox as the 'Unstoppable' and followed orders without question. It was freaky weird but Zorpox let it slide. Over time though, Fukushima stopped calling Zorpox the 'Unstoppable.' Alongside Electronique, he began to question plots and demanded more drastic, violent measures. Take hostages; kill captives, strike without sending a warning. It didn't take Zorpox long to peg Shawn as the cause for this dissention. Both minions were developing a growing respect for the little terror.
'Do you want me to prepare a strike squad and a few torture devices? It's been a while since you reminded those three whose in command,' Lucre grinned at the prospect. He always enjoyed it when Zorpox thaught the trio a lesson.
'No, don't bother. Kimberly Anne is sure to sick her Rockwaller on them. She can deal out more punishment than I ever could.' Lucre winced at a bad memory. He still had a limp from that department store brawl.
'How are our other projects running?' Zorpox enquired.
'My attempts to disrupt global communication have been thwarted thus far by another ten year old, super genius computer hacker. Her name's Olivia. She's programming circles around me and my team,' Lucre admitted. 'Hmm, Let's see, we think we've confirmed the rumour that the world's top scientists are being evacuated to the moon. Our spy satellites have picked up what looks like the construction of a colony. We think Dr James Possible and his boys are the minds behind it. And Dr Anne Possible also seems to have come up with a device to block our mind control technology.'
'Blast! Am I cursed to be thwarted by red heads at every turn? Remind me to destroy Ireland!'
'On the upside, Jack Hench says his people have come up with a few new toys they'd like you to inspect. And Hank Perkins reports that our legit businesses are actually doing quite well, especially the doomsday shelter division.'
'Irony, saviour or curse? You be the judge,' Zorpox muttered.
'DNAmy's mutant clone army project is making progress, as are her attempts unlock the secrets of Lake Wannaweep,' Lucre paused. 'Only, ah, she found out we were holding Monkey Fist. She, umm, demands his safe return if she is to, ah, continue the project.'
'How did she find out?' Zorpox asked coldly.
'I don't know, but, ah, the first batches of mutant warriors just happen to be iguanas,' Lucre flinched. He knew what was coming.
'Shawn!' Zorpox exploded. 'He wasn't meant to know about that project.'
'He isn't supposed to know about any of your projects,' Lucre corrected his master. 'He's meant to be your slave! Payback for years of torment! Get rid of him!' Only Frugal Lucre would dare tell Zorpox what to do. Anybody else would find themselves as guinea pigs for various WEE experiments. Especially Shawn.
'Shawn is dangerous true, ambitious for a seven year old. But he still has a healthy fear of me. He won't soon forget the time I forced him to listen to Crazy Frog for two weeks straight. Or Drakken's private monologue. Boo-yah-hahaha.'
Zorpox continued, 'in any case I want you to take the mini submarine and get to our offshore base before Kimberly Anne shows up. I'll handle matters here personally.'
'ETA five minutes Director. I see New York city straight ahead,' Shego reported.
Bonnie missed the early days of this war. Zorpox would set himself up on a nice little island fortress or in some kind of mountain lair. As the war dragged on and WEE grew into a force to be reckoned with the US military, with the support of the international community, decided to bring the pain. The awesome might of the Neutroniliser was unleashed on WEE infrastructure worldwide. Island lairs, WEE airships and mountain top retreats were wiped out. At the time it was thought to be a tremendous victory. Unfortunately these lairs were decoys. WEE forces had secretly built their real lairs underground, in dense remote jungles, under the ocean or in the middle of cities. Zorpox himself kept on the move, never revealing himself unless he was ready for a fight. This was one of those times.
And that made things far more complicated.
Beep Beep da Beep
Everyone's attention was drawn to the Kimmunicator Mk II on Kim's wrist.
'Hang on a second Drakken, I'll patch you through to the Rat's view screen,' Kim told her watch. Above the cockpit door a screen came to life. On it was the face of evil genius Dr Drakken.
'These battle suits better work Drakken, or I'll personally add a few more scars to your blue face,' Bonnie threatened the maniac.
'Oh please, I'm a super genius. I made doomsday devices for a living. I think I can handle a few battle suits,' an annoyed Drakken responded.
'Well none of your doomsday weapons worked, did they?' Kim put to Drakken.
'That was because you kept blowing them up,' Drakken responded darkly. 'Besides, Monique picked the colours.' Bonnie knew, as Kim did, that this truce with Drakken was temporary. Only hatred of Zorpox kept Drakken in line. Once Zorpox was out of the way, Drakken would move to destroy his old teen foe.
'Why did you call Drakken?' Kim enquired.
'We have a… stitch,' a picture of an apartment building appeared on screen. 'WEE agents have taken the residents of this building hostage. If we don't back down they blow the building. Pretty standard actually.'
Hirotaka balled his fists, 'Zorpox is without honour.'
'No, not Zorpox,' Kim disagreed. Zorpox may be a madman, but he had certain limits. He kidnapped or trapped his enemies, but he did not assassinate them. He built doomsday devices that would kill millions, but he gave the world a fair chance to stop him. He set up operations in civilian areas but he did not harm them. This was the work of another Stoppable….
'Shawn Stoppable, the little terror. Ron's bulldog seems to be acting up again.'
Yori spoke up, 'how should we handle it Possible-san?'
'We tackle both stitches at the same time. Bonnie, take Hirotaka, Hego and Mego. Save the hostages and then get to the docks. Shego, Yori, Will, Felix and Wego, you're with me.
'Yes Director,' Bonnie gave the formal reply, trying to ignore Mego's whining about getting stuck of the secondary squad with Hego.
'Drakken, tell Aviarius to meet Bonnie at that apartment building. And tell Colonel Dobbs and his men to be ready to move. Zorpox has to have a backup plan somewhere out there.'
'Yes Director. Oh, by the way Shego,' Drakken chuckled, 'Ed got a hold of your diary. He say's if you put any more dents in his Q-RAT then he'll post the contents on the GJ message board.' With that Drakken cut the link.
From the cockpit Bonnie heard a long, angry growl.
In their Purple WEE uniforms, agents Delta and Epsilon patrolled the roof of the apartment building, keeping an eye out for the hated GJ scum. Both were elite. Both were alert. Both had laser weapons drawn and at full charge.
Delta continually scanned the skies for a threat, but he never saw even saw the first blow coming. Never saw the attacker drop its load from above, dead on target for his head. 'Uck,' he cried. 'Some bird just dive bombed me!'
Epsilon laughed at the misfortune of his partner. 'Ha, well it's meant to be good luck right, hahaha.'
The next thing either agent knew, a flock of pigeons were all over them. 'Ahhh, gets 'em off, get 'em off,' Epsilon screamed, rolling around on the ground.
'Nice night for flying huh gentlemen?' Aviarius commented as he flew down. He landed on the roof top and picked up the guards discarded weapons.
From far above, Bonnie, Rufus, Hirotaka, Hego and Mego bailed out of the Q-RAT, parachuting in to land right next to Aviarius.
'Roof secure,' he reported, 'what took you so long?'
'Can it birdbrain. Tie them up and then make sure no one else gets in or out,' Bonnie ordered. 'Also, take Mego down to the street. Mego, human ladder. Enlarge yourself and then evacuate the hostages through the windows. Everyone else with me.'
'You want me to smash through the roof?' Hego asked in anticipation.
'No, I want Hirotaka to sneak ahead and quietly knock out the guards without being detected. You stay next to me and don't make a sound.'
'Ok,' the disappointed Hego agreed. Mego had to bite back his laughter. It wouldn't do to get an earful from Bonnie too.
The Rat's instruments picked up an energy field protecting a warehouse near the waterfront. Shego deployed a gadget that Drakken had come up with, an energy field disrupter, and shot it at the warehouse. A ripple appeared as the shield was became weak enough to allow a solid object through. Hoping Zorpox hadn't made any adjustments to his shield technology since their last battle; Shego ploughed the Q-RAT through the ripples, smashed through the warehouse roof and landed the craft inside the facility. Motor Ed was not going to be happy.
Inside the warehouse lair it was all chrome furniture, whooshing steal doors, and motion activated lasers. Typical Zorpox style. Surrounded by hostile WEE agents, Shego activated the Mega Sonic Wave, a weapon reengineered by Drakken from Zorpox own Mega Sonic Ray. It had no effect on the numerous WEE agents. So Zorpox had found a counter.
'Alright, plan B,' Shego smiled. She loved Plan B.
The deployment hatches of the Q-RAT opened, letting out Director Kim Possible and her team. Explosives expert Duff Killigan lobed grenades in every direction, then pulled out his golf club to fight melee with the henchmen. The Wego twins made hundreds of copies of themselves, rushing out to overwhelm opposition. Kim and Felix Renton, a.k.a the Fearless Ferret jumped up onto the railings to deal with snipers. Agent Will Du and Yori used their laser rifles to shoot down the many laser cannons before grappling up onto the higher levels to join the Kim and Ferret. With most of the henchmen accounted for by time Shego even got out the door, she had to settle for just blasting every piece of electronic equipment in sight.
The new battle suits proved their worth. The team moved with greater speed, strength and agility. The shields easily stopped a blast from a laser rifle. The henchmen never stood a chance. In mere minutes they were all down for the count.
'Welcome Kimberly Anne Possible,' an evil voice called out from the smashed warehouse roof. 'I see you've all had your warm up, now who wants to play with the big dog'
Zorpox wore black cargo pants and a black shirt, similar to the old Team Possible mission outfits. Only his shirt had a red Z against a purple background on it. He wore black military style boots, a purple beanie, giant red goggle, a great purple cape and purple gloves with razor sharp claws attached. A yellow utility belt rounded out his outfit. Despite his comical appearance, every member of the team knew not to underestimate the villain. The belt controlled any number of traps while the pockets on his cargo pants were filled with dangerous devices.
'New outfits. Stylish. I like the white with glowing blue stripes. It radiates a message of confidence, ya know. I'm over here, shoot me! Boo-yah-hahahahaaa'
Kim hated this game. It was always the same. Zorpox gave Kim a barbed complement then proceeded to tell her his decoy plan. Kim would stop it and then the race to uncover his real plan would begin.
'Hey, when I want to take fashion tips from a guy who wears purple clothing and a beanie, I'll ask Killigan.'
'It's notta beanie,' Duff defended his lucky golfing hat, 'and my battle suit ain't purple. Can ya not see it be plad, like me kilt!'
'Yet another reason to destroy Scotland,' Zorpox mumbled. 'Now Kimberly, I shall devastate the world's economy by setting off my Mega EMP Generator in the economic capital of….'
Kaboom! Zorpox was cut off by a large green blast on the far end of the warehouse. He watched in dismay as his Mega EMP Generator fell to pieces.
'My bad,' Shego declared, her hand still glowing.
Clearly not amused, Zorpox pressed a three buttons on his belt. The floor shock as a section gave way to reveal a small pool filled with sharks. Walls opened up to reveal a small army of Robot warriors. Worst of all, six Spinning Tops of Doom were released. Together they tore the Q-RAT to shreds.
'Motor Ed's gonna be pissed,' Will Du commented.
The sight of the shark pool brought memories of Shego's last encounter with the villain rushing back, washing away her confidence.
'Please don't hurt me,' her meek voice pleaded.
The first button Zorpox had pressed sent the go ahead to Team Evil. Team Evil was made up of the most elite of WEE. Men who had never known defeat. They were so secret that even Frugal Lucre knew nothing of their existence. They alone were trusted with their master's real plans. Today he wanted to launch an attack on the Museum of Natural History. An exhibit on ancient monkey artefacts had caught the eye of Zorpox. Ever since sacking the Yaminochi School, he held an interest in this so called Mystical Monkey Power. He extracted as much information as he could from Monkey Fist in his spare time, even launched expeditions into jungles around the world in order to study hieroglyphics on ancient temples. The whole EMP attack was nothing but a decoy to allow Team Evil a night's uninterrupted search of the Museum. While present they were also to grab some DNA samples of prehistoric creatures for DNAmy's experiments.
The second button Zorpox had pressed sent the go ahead to Team Empire. Team Empire was made up of the most elite of WEE. Men who had never known defeat. They were so secret that even Frugal Lucre knew nothing of their existence. They alone were trusted with their master's real plans. For the past month they had been setting up the Mega Static Capacitor on top of the Empire State Building. Now, while Global Justice was distracted with the Mega EMP Generator, they received the signal to activate the device. As the Mega Static Capacitor powered up, a great storm began to develop above the city. Lighting strike after lighting strike struck the Empire State.
Safe in WEE's eastern seaboard underwater base, Frugal Lucre observed the progress of both teams. The Mega Static Capacitor was powering up nicely. Time to send Zorpox's demands to the White House. These days Zorpox had his own personal line to the leaders of the world powers, the UN, even Global Justice. It just wasted everybody's time to talk to endless amounts of secretaries and staff.
'Good evening Mr President. I have a few demands from big Z.'
'What is it this time Lucre?'
'Pretty simple today sir. We want California.'
'No.'
'Florida?'
'No'
'Hawaii?'
'No.'
'Ohio?'
'Maybe.'
'Wisconsin?
'Only if you take Iowa too,' (they voted for the other guy).
'Michigan?'
'I would pay you to take it.'
'I think we'll stick with Florida.'
'No deal Lucre, the United States does not negotiate with terrorists!'
'Then you're gonna have to stop our Mega Static Capacitor sitting atop the Empire State building. I must warn you though, if our demands are not meet, New York is going to come to a shocking end. Hahahahaaa,' Lucre laughed. 'Oh, and I voted for you sir. Big fan. Love your get tough on drugs policy. Lucre out.'
The Mega Static Capacitor's purpose was three fold. First it would create an immense amount of static in the area. Every piece of metal in the city would collect static electricity, giving a nasty shock to anyway not wearing rubber gloves. Second, once enough static was stored, the skyscraper would become a giant Tesla Coil; capable of shooting bolts of lightning at any target for hundreds of miles (naturally Electronique loved the plan). Third, the static would fry electrical circuits, wiping out the electronic records of the world's financial centre and causing a new world depression.
But the generator would take a few hours to charge. Eventually someone would get round to destroying the thing. As cool as it was, the overall success or failure of the Mega Static Capacitor was of little consequence to Zorpox.
The raid on the Museum of Natural History was of greater interest. Under interrogation with the brain tap machine, Monkey Fist revealed surprising little about Mystical Monkey Power. He was still in the process of uncovering most of the monkey power secrets himself. Unfortunately the Sensei of Yaminochi, the secret ninja school, proved resistant to the brain tap device, and most of the ancient scrolls stolen from the school were written in dead languages, not seen since the dawn of human civilisation. The only information Zorpox got out of Sensei was a legend about a 'chosen one'. One who would be the protector of the great weapon and defeat a great darkness. Naturally, Zorpox wasn't too thrilled about the 'defeat a great darkness' part. This chosen one was obviously a threat, so more information must be acquired.
Lucre considered the raid on the exhibit a desperate act for information. It only contained useless artefacts like the broken Tempus Simia statue and the Amulet of the Monkey King. More junk to sit with the Lotus Blade in the vault, to be studied by Zorpox in his spare time.
After Hirotaka quietly took down most of the guards, Mego grew to the size of the building and helped the hostages escape by gently picking them right off their balconies and placing them on a nearby building. The whole operation was going perfectly smooth. It couldn't last.
Fukushima was a skilled ninja, trained in the same stealth arts Hirotaka and Yori. As the building became increasingly quiet it was obvious to him that something was wrong. There should be the sound of guards walking down the corridor, chatting with each other despite orders not too. He immediately signalled to Electronique that they had visitors, than set off to find his old school friends. As he exited the room Hirotaka swung down and kicked him back in.
'I've been looking for you traitor.'
Electronique sent a blast of electrical energy at Hirotaka, but the ninja easily dodged. He did a wall ran then jump kicked Fukushima.
Alarms rang throughout the building, alerting the few henchmen left that intruders had been spotted.
'Now you can smash everything,' Bonnie told Hego.
'With pleasure.' Hego bashed his way through the last wall between them and the bomb. Almost before he was even through, a powerful blast of electricity sent him flying backward through two more walls. Bonnie managed to activate her shield before Electronique blasted her too.
As Fukushima and Hirotaka fought in the background Bonnie confronted the ringleader.
Seven year old Shawn Stoppable stepped forward to greet Bonnie, 'well, look what we have here, Kim Possible's pet Rockwaller. Where is your master dog?'
'I could ask you the same question. I have a feeling Zorpox is going to be a little ticked off with this stunt.' Bonnie watched in satisfaction as the mere mention of Zorpox sent shivers of fear up the spines of Shawn and Electronique.
'That cry baby won't be around forever you know Rockwaller,' Shawn retorted, trying to sound confident.
'And you'll have me an' Kim to thank for that. 'Til then you're just a little boy. Run back to your mamma little boy,' Bonnie taunted. By this time Hego had recovered and stood next to Bonnie. Fukushima moved to defend Shawn.
Hego charged Fukushima, only to be arm thrown into yet another wall. Electronique tried blasting Bonnie again. To her shock, Bonnie's hand morphed into a big scoop. Bonnie caught the electrical energy and sent it straight back.
'Ouff.' Electronique ended up on sliding down the wall next to Hego.
Hirotaka took Fukushima on in hand to hand combat. Both of them were extremely skilled in martial arts. It was hard to pick a probable victor.
Back on his feet, Hego punched Electronique a few times, then grabbed her leg, preparing to throw her. She retaliated by sending electricity down her body and up Hego's arm. He was forced to drop her.
Bonnie punched a few henchmen who had ran into the room, then grabbed Shawn by the ear. 'You've been a bad boy!'
Out of Shawn's pocket came his pet iguana. He ran up Bonnie's own arm and scratched her across the nose. As Bonnie tried to shake off the lizard, Shawn kicked her in the shin and tackled her to the ground. 'Rufus,' Bonnie called out to her rodent sidekick.
Rufus jumped out of a pocket on Bonnie's battle suit and bit Shawn right on the arm. 'Ahhh, Sheryl help,' Shawn called out to his lizard sidekick.
Sheryl stopped scratching Bonnie's head, instead turning to eat his arch nemesis. 'Epp,' Rufus shrieked, running away with Sheryl in hot pursuit.
'My face,' Bonnie moaned, pulling out a compact to examine the scratches. 'I'm going to end up looking like Drakken.'
'Allow me to turn you blue.' Bonnie looked up in time to see Shawn swing a chair at her.
'Ahhh.' The chair hit her hard in the arm. 'You little punk!' she kicked Shawn away and got back to her feet.
Electronique stepped forward, 'you can't win Agent Rockwaller. We can destroy this building at will,' she reminded Bonnie, holding up a detonator.
Bonnie laughed. 'With you in it?'
'Who says we'll still be here when it goes off?'
The wall behind Electronique exploded as a flying vehicle burst through the wall. Fukushima grabbed Shawn and threw him in. 'Sheryl,' the boy called. The well trained iguana abandoned the chase of Rufus and hopped into the vehicle. Electronique hit the detonate button, starting a ten second timer, than jumped into the pilot seat.
Hego rushed forward, picked up the bomb and threw it far up into the air as he could. When it went off the shockwave was still enough to throw people on the ground off their feet and do damage to nearby buildings. Nothing collapsed though. No one was seriously hurt.
'We have failed, they have escaped,' Hirotaka said. He had let the traitor escape yet again.
'And I thought Ron Stoppable was annoying,' Bonnie muttered. Somehow, running into with Shawn only made the pain of losing Ron worse. He was the opposite of everything Ron was. Compared to his evil cousin Ron Stoppable was a lovable goof, even as Zorpox. Fighting Shawn only reminded Bonnie of that fact. And of her part in driving that goof away.
'Boo-yah-hahahahaaa, hahahahaaa, hehe, haha,' Zorpox howled as he watched Kim Possible and her team deal with the multiple threat of a pool of sharks, a army of combat robots and, his personal favourite, six Spinning Tops of Doom.
'Doesn't the laddie ever shut up?' Duff complained as he hit two robots with his exploding golf balls. Then he was forced use his golf club to defend himself as another robot came at him with a lead pipe.
'If I ever get my hands on that laughing idiot…,' Will Du cursed as he used up the last of his laser rifles charge. He was forced to use his weapon as a blunt instrument, keeping the robot forces at bay.
Shego simply blasted everything in sight while the Wego twins watched her back.
Yori attracted the attention of two spinning tops of death. As they both closed in on her from different directions, Yori threw the end of her ninja chain high in the air, the end wrapping around a beam from the ruined roof. She scrambled up the chain just before the tops of doom impacted, destroying each other. Climbing to the roof she came face to face with Zorpox.
'You have taken prisoner both my friends and my teacher. That offence cannot stand Unstoppable,' Yori assumed a combat stance.
'Does the little ninja want that old windbag back hmm?' Zorpox asked. 'I think that maybe the little ninja is getting in over her head.'
Yori charged at Zorpox, striking out with her razor sharp fans. Zorpox raised his armoured cape to deflect the blow, than slashed back with his sharpened claws, catching Yori on the shoulder. Blood dripped from the wound as the battle suit tore open. 'Pretty weak material for battle suits don't ya think?' Zorpox sniggered. Then the battle suit material repaired itself right in front of his eyes.
'Impressive,' he admitted.
Yori attacked again, this time launching her chain at Zorpox. He ducked the initial blow, but then Yori pulled back on the chain, reversing its direction. Zorpox was struck in the back by the solid end of the chain. 'Ahhh,' he howled in pain.
Staying on the offensive, Yori launched the chain again, only this time Zorpox was ready. Out of one of his pockets he pulled an extendable baton, using it to deflect the chain. Seeing the chain wrap around the baton, Yori tried to yank the weapon out of the villain's hands. Unexpectedly Zorpox freely let go, causing Yori to overcorrect her balance.
While her footing was weakened, Zorpox run up, ripped the chain from her hands and kicked Yori back through the hole in the roof. Only this time it looked like she would be going for a swim 'Let's see your battle suit repair a shark bite,' Zorpox called after the falling Yori.
Seeing his team mate falling toward the shark pool, Felix the Ferret shot his grapple hook and leapt for Yori, before even knowing if the line was secure. He caught her on the fly and together they landed in a heap on the far side of the pool.
'Boo-yah-hahahahaaa' Zorpox began again.
He had never noticed that while he was fighting Yori, Kim had launched a grapple hook onto the roof also.
'Celebrating a little too soon aren't we?' her voice came from behind him.
Zorpox turned, 'Kimberly Anne?'
Kim kicked Zorpox through the hole in the roof as he had done to Yori.
Zorpox was ready, he pulled out a grapple gun of his own, swinging over the battle and coming to rest on the far side of the warehouse. Kim landed next to him. 'It is so over Ron.'
'So not!' he threw a punch at Kim, only for her to duck and give an uppercut back.
'Ouff.' He landed on the ground.
'I was always better at combat Ron.'
'I was just always better,' Zorpox retorted, getting back to his feet. One of the Wego's had joined Kim now, so it basically a hundred to one.
'Give it up Ron. It's over,' Kim told him
'Over? I'm just getting warmed up! Boo-yah-haha,' from under his cape Zorpox threw a fistful of little rubber balls. Kim dodged them, but half of the Wego copies were stuck. The balls rapidly expanded into an inescapable goop substance.
Shego joined the battle, slashing at him with her claws, then launched a plasma blast. It just bounced off his shield. Zorpox sneered back, causing her to freeze in fear for a second. That was all the opening he needed. Zorpox slashed back, cutting her shoulder and then kicking Shego away.
The Wego's threw themselves onto Zorpox trying to hold the villain down. Zorpox barely managed to hit another button on his belt, activating his Mega Anti-Gravity Belt. With the reduced gravity around him he easily sent the Wego's flying. Like men walking on the moon, the low gravity also reduced his agility, however. Kim used the opening. She hit him punch after punch, kick after kick, before he could turn the belt off.
Zorpox tried to block Kim's blows, but even without the battle suit she was too fast. He was unable to go the offensive. Too many blows connected. If it weren't for his body armour, Zorpox would already be laid out on the floor.
He ripped off his cape and flung it at Kim. An electric shock coursed through her body. Only the battle suit allowed her to stay on her feet. As she ripped the cape off, Zorpox activated a small jet pack that was on his back the whole time. 'Have to jet now Kimberly,' Zorpox taunted as he flew out of the warehouse.
Kim wouldn't give up that easily. She aimed her grapple hook and fired. It wrapped around the fleeing villain's leg.
'What the?' Zorpox cried as his lift drastically reduced. He looked down to see Kim hitching a ride. The jet pack couldn't handle the weight of two, however. A serious design flaw Zorpox thought as the ground rushed up to meet him. Together Kim Possible and Zorpox the Conqueror crash landed on another roof, about a block away from the warehouse. Kim landed gracefully, on her feet on then straight into a roll. Zorpox landed on his face. 'Oww,' he muttered.
Kim hadn't noticed the weather during the battle inside the warehouse, but it had become quite severe. Lightning struck the skyscrapers over and over again while the roar of thunder was continuous. Dark clouds blocked out all moonlight and the rain poured harder than Kim had ever seen. A wind was slowly picking up speed too.
'Your doing I presume?' she yelled so that Zorpox could hear her over the roar of thunder.
'My Mega Static Capacitor,' he yelled back with pride. 'It was a, 'no big.'
'Drakken,' Kim yelled into her Kimmunicator. But she got no reply.
'Did I mention it interferes with electrical signals?' Zorpox added.
'Then I guess it's just you and me.'
A grin spread across Zorpox's faces. 'It's always been just you and me KP'
