"Dangerous Girls," written by Freedom Fighter Continuing on... Disclaimer: None of the characters from the animated series "Kim Possible" or "The Powerpuff Girls" belong to me. ====== Chapter 6 - The Meeting at Last? - Part 2 (10.21.03) Ron and Monique were fleeing from the scene when Bonnie's ear-piercing 'attack' scream filled the air. The two turned around to see the cheerleader whacking the giant robot's left foot with a wooden stake. "What is Bonnie doing?" Ron asked, coming out of his simian-phobia. "That's not the way to distract an evildoer!" Ron turned around and did the unthinkable... he went to help Bonnie. "Ron!" Monique yelled after him. "What about your fear of the giant monkey?" Meanwhile, from up in the cockpit of the robot, the real Mojo Jojo was observing Bonnie's attempt at distracting him... and he was getting very annoyed by it. "Who does this girl think she is?" Mojo asked out aloud. "Does she think that with a mere two-by-four piece of plywood that she can take down my robot? Does she think that I was born yesterday, because I, Mojo Jojo, for sure was not born yesterday! I ought to teach her that Mojo Jojo doesn't take lightly to annoying little girls." Mojo raised his left leg up from the ground, preparing to smash Bonnie with it. "Bonnie!" Kim yelled with worry as she reloaded her hair dryer grappler gun. Suddenly, the sound of Townsville's own team of little heroines filled the air as the Powerpuff Girls flew onto the scene... and directly towards the robot. "She's going to get crushed!" Blossom yelled as she spotted Bonnie. "Bubbles, get her out of there! Buttercup, with me!" Bubbles dived down towards Bonnie while her two sisters flew right for the robot's huge metallic stomach. Meanwhile, Kim had fired her dryer at the right leg, hoping to swing in and save her co-captain from an early death. But neither girl got to Bonnie in time. In fact, it was Ron who dives in at the very last second and knocks the 'distractee' out of harm's way, just as Mojo's giant left foot came crashing down on the pavement. "Get off of me!" Bonnie screamed, pushing Ron off of her and then getting to her feet. She then dusted herself off as she ran for safety. "You could've at least thanked me for saving you!" Ron shouted at her. "Accursed little pests!" complained Mojo from the cockpit. "I'll squash them all!" The giant Mojo turned towards Ron just as he was getting up from the ground. Immediately sensing the new target, Bubbles changed course and headed to save Ron, rather than Bonnie. Only one problem... she was already several feet further away, pursuing Bonnie. Bubbles raced back, but she knew she wouldn't get there in time. Luckily, Buttercup knew it as well. She halted her side-by-side ascent with Blossom and began a fast dive back to ground level. Blossom didn't like the fact that Buttercup had abandoned her, but it was their duty to protect the innocent. So she continued to the left leg of the robot and started spiraling up it. On the right leg, though, Kim had already seen Bonnie get out of harm's way, but she couldn't help but wonder what the three colored blurs around her were doing. "Could it be... them?" she asked herself. Grabbing an arm, Buttercup pulled Ron to safety. A second later, Bubbles helped her sister carry the sidekick away from the battlefield. "No question about it," Kim confirmed. "It's gotta be them. But... where's the third one?" ====== Up in the cockpit... "The Powerpuff Girls?!" Mojo exclaimed. "I'll destroy them once and for all, so that they may never return to ruin my evil plans of world domination once again, forever more!" Mojo started shooting off laser beams from his eyes wildly, smashing parts of buildings off and sending the debris down to the fleeing crowds below. ====== Back on the ground... Residents, spectators, and visitors alike screamed in terror as they tried to find shelter. The fleeing populace covered their heads with their hands in hopes of shielding themselves from the smaller pieces of debris. By this time, Bonnie had caught up to Monique, who had observed her antics from a safe distance, and the two departed together, joining the last of the crowd still in the streets. "Remind me never to do that again!" Bonnie yelled. "Some decoy you are!" chided Monique. "Do I look like jailbait to you?" shot back Bonnie. "If you're not jailbait material, I don't know what is." ====== And up in the air... "Put me back!" Ron yelled. "I'm the back-up decoy here!" "You wanna get yourself hurt?" asked Buttercup, irate at Ron's willingness to risk his life. "You have to leave this to us!" Bubbles exclaimed. "But you don't understand! I'm the distraction!" ====== Skipping ahead, both Kim and Blossom had found their way into the giant mecha via the exhaust ports on either side of the waist. They made their way through the pipes and into the robot's 'backbone,' which in reality was its elevator shaft. But other than the normal elevator stuff, the two red-headed heroines saw something else of interest. Each other. "What?" they both exclaimed in unison. "Who are you?" But before introductions could commence, a loud screeching sound filled the air. Both girls look up and see the elevator car plummeting toward them. ====== "Ha!" Mojo shouted excitedly, having viewed the whole thing from his security camera. "Did Blossom think she could pull one over on me? Well, she was mistaken! Now... where are Bubbles and Buttercup, so that I may see to their destruction too?" "Forgetting someone?" asked a hidden voice, one that Mojo didn't recognize. "What?" Mojo glanced around, looking for the source. Suddenly, the elevator doors slid open and a bit of smoke poured out. As it cleared, a shadowy figure stepped forth. "The Powerpuff Girls may be this city's heroes..." proclaimed the figure, who revealed herself to be Kim. "But they're not the only ones who deal with wacko supervillains bent on global domination!" "So..." Mojo smirked, "you've decided to come to me! A wise decision, for if you had not come forward, I would've crushed all your little friends!" "Skip the dramatics, Mojo Jojo!" Kim pointed at the maniacal monkey. "I'm onto your scheme!" "Well, it seems that you have got me where you want me... Kim Possible!" Kim gasped. "How did you know my name?" "I've done my research on you. I'm sure you did the same for me." "Then I'm sure you know that I'm going to take you down!" ====== Out of harm's way, Bubbles and Buttercup landed on a rooftop, depositing Ron there. "You gotta take me back!" Ron exclaimed, before snapping to his senses. "I can't believe I just said that! There's a giant monkey over there, and I want to go back?" "Will you just shut up already?" Buttercup screamed. "Nobody wants to hear about how you're the distraction and all!" "You don't even have any superpowers," observed Bubbles. "How do you distract Mojo if you have nothing to use against him?" "I have Rufus!" Ron smiled, pulling his naked mole rat out of his pocket. "Wow!" squealed Bubbles. "It's so cute!" Bubbles hovered over and started patting Rufus on the head... and it looked as if he was enjoying the attention. "You mean you use that weasel?" Buttercup asked, unimpressed. "Hey hey, he's a naked mole rat!" retorted Ron. Bubbles giggled with glee. "He's cute and he's naked!" Buttercup slapped her forehead. "Look, we don't have time for this! Blossom might need us!" "And Kim might need me!" Ron exclaimed. "I just can't leave her alone!" "Kim? You mean there's someone else over there fighting Mojo?" "Of course! She's Kim Possible!" Bubbles and Buttercup glanced at each other, stunned. "Who?" "You... you mean you don't know who Kim Possible is?" The two girls shook their heads. "Well, allow me to explain! Rufus!" Rufus crawled down Ron's right side and back to his pants pocket. He stuck his head in and fished through until he found what he was looking for. A pencil and a notepad. Crawling back up, Rufus took a seat on Ron's left shoulder and began drawing something on the pad. Bubbles watched with interest, while Buttercup rolled her eyes. "We don't have time for this!" Buttercup said. "Shhhhh!" shushed Bubbles, glaring at her sister. "Ta da!" Rufus proclaimed, showing off what he had drawn. "This is Kim," Ron said, pointing to the crude drawing of his best friend. Crude if only because some parts of Kim's body were out of proportion. "Cheerleader by day, crimefighter by night!" "Ooh! Just like Darkwing Duck!" Bubbles slapped her forehead again. "Bubbles, Darkwing Duck was never a cheerleader!" "I knew that!" "Kim has her own website," Ron continued. "She proclaims she can do anything... and I should know. I'm her best friend!" ====== "I'm not going back out there, and you can't make me!" "You have to! You're the distraction!" A small group of people, gathered inside the lobby of a nearby bank, had surrounded Bonnie and Monique, who were in an argument of sorts. "I'm not going out there just to get myself killed!" Bonnie yelled. "You're not going to get yourself killed!" Monique yelled back. "Hello! Did you see how close I got to becoming flattened?" "But Kim's still out there! She needs you!" "If you care so much about Kim, why don't you go and be the distraction?" "Don't try to flip the game on me, girl! Besides, you care about her too and you know it!" "I could care less if Kim gets hurt by that stupid robot monkey! And with her out of the way, I could become captain of the squad!" "Is that all you care about? Anyway, there's no way you'll be captain if everyone finds out you chickened out and left her for dead!" "Ooooooohhh!" the crowd, partially made up of fellow classmates, chided. "Well... um... you can't make me go back out there!" ====== "And that's the whole story of KP, in a nutshell," finished Ron. "Wow!" cheered Bubbles. "That's amazing!" "Yeah!" Buttercup added. "Except for one thing... how do you fit into all of this?" "Me?" Ron pointed at himself. "I'm the sidekick." Upon hearing those words, both girls began to snicker quietly. And even though they were doing their best to hold it in, Ron didn't appreciate the gesture at all. "Hey! What's so funny?" The girls couldn't hold it any longer. They burst out in laughter, flailing their arms and legs in mid-air, much to Ron's chagrin. "You... ha ha ha... a sidekick?" Buttercup asked between chuckles. "That's rich!" "Tee hee hee!" Bubbles giggled before doing a goofy-eyed imitation of Ron. "Look! I'm the sidekick!" "Come on!" pleaded Ron. "I'm not making any fun of you two!" ====== Blossom was pushing with all her might, trying to bring the falling car to a stop. But although she was slowing it down, she wasn't doing it fast enough, for the shaft's bottom floor... which was the robot's behind... was coming up fast. "Uggggggghhhhh!" grunted Blossom, giving one last giant push, her eyes glowing mightily with strength. But it was to no avail. The car crashed into the bottom of the shaft, completely destroying most of the vehicle in the process. ****** Coming in Chapter 7: "The Meeting at Last? - Part 3" - Bubbles and Buttercup head back... but with or without Ron? - Did Blossom survive in the elevator shaft? - And will Mojo buy his freedom out of Kim's clutches?
