"She Will Do Anything," written by Freedom Fighter Disclaimer: None of the characters from the animated series "Kim Possible" belong to me. Fanfic Rating: This fanfic will be rated PG for some intense battle sequences... but that will be much later on. ====== Chapter Five - New Sensation (02.03.03) Middleton High School, Junior Varsity cheerleading practice... The following afternoon, squad captain Kim Possible watched the entire team practice to a new routine that had been composed by Bonnie Rockwaller, second-in-command and the resident thinks-she-knows-it-all girl. "Okay, places everyone!" Bonnie ordered the squad. "From the top!" She then turned around to face Kim, who was standing in front of her. "Well Kim, are you going to join us or what?" "Bonnie, everyone looks like they're struggling with your routine as much as they were with mine two days ago." Kim shook her head. "You haven't convinced me that it's worth it yet." "Really? Maybe you're afraid that you can't do it." "Anything you can do, I can do!" "Well, let's see it, Kim!" Kim grabbed her pom poms off of the gym floor and walked past Bonnie, scowling as she did. Bonnie followed, moving into her position in the center and telling Kim to stand next to her. "Okay everyone, on three! One! Two! Thr..." At that moment, Ron Stoppable ran in with his Mad Dog mask on. "Middleton High!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. "Are you ready?" "Hello!" Bonnie exclaimed as she stomped over. "We're in the middle of practice here!" Ron took off his mask and started yelling back. "You can't boss me around! Only Kim's allowed to do that!" "Kim! Tell your freak of a friend to leave!" "Ron's not a freak," defended Kim as she joined the duo. "He's... well... he's just Ron, Bonnie." "I don't care! Get him out of here!" "You can't tell Kim what to do!" Ron said, clenching his fists. "She's the captain!" "Actually," Kim spoke up, swinging her right leg back and forth as if she was kicking up imaginary sand. "Bonnie's in charge today." Ron double back in surprise. "Kim! How could you even think of doing that?" "Because she did, okay?" Bonnie jumped in before she began to push Ron towards the gym exit. "Now, this is a 'team only' practice, so I'm going to have to ask you to leave." "Since when has asking someone to leave require pushing them out?" Kim asked. "Since I'm the captain!" Bonnie replied. "For today. TO-DAY! And besides, that still doesn't give you the right to push Ron out against his will." "I'm trying to win us regionals!" "And so am I!" "At least I'm putting in an effort to get the squad ready." Kim smirked. "Strong words coming from someone as easygoing as you, wouldn't you say?" "You'd better watch it. I could have you kicked off the team!" "May I remind you that I am the squad captain? Have been since the beginning of the school year and will continue to be until the end. Or has all the power made you forget that already?" "You're just jealous because I'm actually getting something done, K." Kim and Bonnie growled at each other, as they look as they were about to get into a catfight. Ron quickly tried to think of a way to resolve this, but something else managed to do that for him... the Kimmunicator. "Whew!" Ron wiped the sweat off of his forehead as the Kimmunicator began beeping its four-note jingle. "Saved by the jingle bells!" Kim managed to disengage her staring contest with Bonnie long enough to walk over to her backpack and pull out her Kimmunicator. "Wade?" Kim said seethingly as she turned it on. "Uh... this isn't a bad time, is it?" Wade asks, a little hesitant to continue as he noticed the foul mood Kim was in. "Go ahead," Kim replied, the calmer side of her taking control for the moment. "I know you're not going to believe this... but there's a giant robot stomping through Tokyo!" "A giant robot?" Kim raised an eyebrow intriguingly as Ron came over to hear what Wade had to say to. "I didn't think you'd believe me." Wade shook his head. "This is like some sci-fi movie flick come to life!" Ron exclaimed, slightly panicked. "Tokyo... giant robot..." Kim began to think. "Why does this all sound so familiar?" Kim thought for a minute before resuming her conversation with Wade. "By any chance, the robot wouldn't be consisting of parts of an assembly line, with a built-in computer system that keeps repeating 'Konnichiwa' over and over again, would it?" "No," Wade replied, before catching onto Kim's theory. "You don't suppose..." "It's gotta be Drakken," finished Kim. "Deja vu." "Isn't Drakken supposed to be a genius?" Ron asked. "They don't try an idea twice if it's already failed once!" "Sometimes the well runs dry, Ron. You can't expect anyone to come up with a good plan all the time." "My sentiments exactly," Bonnie interrupted, as Kim and Ron noticed that the whole squad was now waiting for them. "Bonnie, could you stay out of this?" Kim asked, trying to keep her mind focused on Drakken. "Wade," Ron butted in, "how about getting us a ride before things get..." "One's on the way!" Wade announced before logging off. "Come on Kim!" Ron exclaimed, motioning for her to follow him. But Kim wasn't moving at all. "Ron, I can't go now! What about practice?" "It's never stopped you before!" "But this is different!" "Go ahead Kim," Bonnie said with a smirk on her face. "You'd better go do that whole 'saving the world' thing. I can handle things here." "There's no way I'm leaving the squad in your hands!" Kim retorted. "Kim... giant robot trashing Tokyo!" Ron exclaimed. "Like, now!" Kim sighed, knowing that keeping the world safe came before maintaining control of the cheerleading squad. She began to gather her things. "Okay girls," Kim put on her best smile as she addressed the squad. "Bonnie's in charge. We're going to stick with her routine." All of the girls were shocked with Kim's announcement... including Bonnie. "Good luck, B." Kim was on her way out, shooting Bonnie one last glance. "Thanks... I think," Bonnie replied, still a bit shocked. ====== A few minutes later, Kim and Ron are waiting outside the school, dressed in their 'mission wear' outfits. "I can't believe you gave in just like that!" Ron exclaimed. "I've got no other choice! Besides, Bonnie will never get them to perfect that routine." "Betting on that she'll come crawling to you on hands and knees for help?" "Slinking along the ground is more like it." "You know, the whole Bonnie thing is getting out of hand again." "Bonnie is not a problem. She never has been, never will be." "We need to spend time getting this problem of yours resolved! You've got to attend peer mediation. Bonnie too." "Ron," Kim put her hands on her hips, "peer mediation is only for people who are too clouded by thoughts of rage to settle an argument amongst themselves." "And your point is?" "Ron!" "First it's arguing! Then battling for control! And then it ends with a double piledriver, leaving you both gasping for air!" "It'll never get to the point where Bonnie and I would want to physically harm each other." "Step one is denial, KP. Always has been, always will be." "Denial!" Rufus shouts, popping out of Ron's pocket and giving it a thumbs down. The sound of an aircraft flying onto the school grounds begins to fill the air. "We've got more important things to take care of right now, Ron!" Kim shouted over the loud airplane's engines. ====== Jenny had just arrived on the scene, as she finds herself pushing her way through the fleeing crowd. "Never thought I'd ever do this... hey, watch it!" Jenny yelled as someone pushed her out of the way. Stopping in her tracks despite the stampeding crowd trying to get around her, she glanced up ahead, where the giant metal robot stomps towards her. To add to the citizens' fear, the robot swung its arms around and began knocking parts of nearby buildings down. "Drakken never said anything about battling giant robots. I don't think my life insurance covers this!" As the robot's giant left foot came down, the ground began to shake. Jenny stuck her arms out as she tried to keep her balance and avoid falling from the ground. Some of those fleeing around her though weren't so lucky. Jenny gulped. "Well, if this is what it takes to be like Kim Possible, then so be it." She ran through the remainder of the crowd, clearing the stragglers about fifteen feet in front of the rampaging robot. "Hold it right there!" Jenny yelled defiantly, holding her left hand up in the air. The robot comes to a halt, just a foot's length away from Jenny. Jenny let out a sigh of relief. "Well, that was easy enough." Suddenly, the robot's left hand formed into a fist and reeled back. Jenny instantly realized what the robot was planning to do... but the fear of being squashed quickly overcame her, rendering her unable to move. "Hold on!" a voice yelled from afar. Jenny was too nervous about her impending doom to look around, but Kim was flying in on her jetpack, attempting to pull Jenny to safety in the nick of time. "Just a few more feet," Kim told herself, gritting her teeth as the wind blew against, as if it were doing everything it could to hold her back. "Kim!" came Ron's voice, but it was too late. Just as Kim looked back to see what Ron was concerned about, the robot's right arm had whacked Kim hard in the back. The resulting hit sent Kim careening out of control and right towards a nearby building. Preview of Chapter 6: "A Test of Loyalty" - With Kim seemingly out of commission, how will Ron and Jenny react? - Is Drakken really behind the robot? - And someone's had quite enough of standing by and watching the new 'KP.' Just for reference, I'm shooting to have this finished in 3-5 more chapters, depending on how much story I can get into each chapter. New chapters will be released whenever I can get around to them. Until then!
