"She Will Do Anything," written by Freedom Fighter Disclaimer: None of the characters from the animated series "Kim Possible" belong to me. The character Jenny 'Jen' Able does, though. A little warning... the battle does get intense towards the end of this chapter, so be forewarned. It's nothing that will increase the fanfic's current PG-rating, but I think that you guys should know ahead of time. Just so that you're all prepared is all. ****** Chapter Eight - A Stoppable Enable? (04.15.03) ****** Tokyo, Japan... Kim, Ron, and Jenny looked up at Doctor Drakken, who seemed to be pleased that everything was going to plan. But Kim was determined to stop Drakken's evil scheme here and now. "I've found out about your little plan," Kim told Drakken, pointing at Jenny. "Jenny's told me everything, so you might as well give up!" "Really?" Drakken asked, undaunted by Kim's demand to surrender. "Well, my plan may no longer be a secret, but it doesn't matter. You won't be able to stand up to your replacement anyway." "My replacement?" "No one can replace Kim Possible!" Ron shouted. "It's impossible!" "But my young hero-in-training can. Just watch and see." "Jenny's not your mind slave, Drakken! She just won't obey you on command!" "Little do you know, Kim Possible, that I put something in Jenny's last meal. It's a little pill that guarantees she will unconditionally obey whatever orders I give her." "You drugged me?" Jenny asked, concerned about what might be floating around in her body. "That's right!" Drakken confirmed proudly. "Right now, you should feel your knees getting weak." Jenny glanced down at her knees, as if she were waiting for the inevitable moment when they would start shaking. "And then your head will start pounding like you got hit with a sledgehammer!" Jenny raised her hands up to her head, which made her get a little concerned. "And finally, with the proper magic words, you will become my mind-control lackey for as long as I see fit! Ha ha ha ha... this is much better than the time I stole that mind-control microchip from the military!" "Fight it, Jen!" Kim told Jenny. "Don't let Drakken's drug take control of you!" "Uh, Kim... she's not doing anything," said Ron, pointing it out to her. "In fact, nothing's happening to her at all." "Jenny... are you still in there? Speak to us!" Jenny just stood there, calm as a cucumber. Indeed, as Ron had thought, nothing seemed to be happening. "What's wrong? I swore I slipped into your soup bowl at lunch!" "That's a relief," Jenny said, breathing a sigh of relief. "I didn't eat the soup. It had mushrooms in it, which I think are all so icky when they go down." "Curses!" Drakken said aloud. "That's strike number two!" Kim told Drakken. "You're out of options, so I suggest you give up peacefully." "Not when I've still got one thing working in my favor! The fact that Jenny is working for me, under her own conscience!" "He's right, you know," Jenny said to Kim and Ron. "Forget about that! Don't you realize that he's using you to get rid of me?" "Maybe... but Drakken's given me the one thing I've always wanted." "And what's that?" "A life that's not boring! Duh!" "Don't duh me!" Kim said, now a little irked. "I appreciate this whole idol worship thing of yours, but you can't pull off the teen hero thing." "Why not?" Jenny was now the one hot under the collar, as she began to shoot a menacing glare at Kim. "If it weren't for me, Jenny, you would have been seriously hurt! You can't dodge as well as I can, and one day that's going to be your downfall!" Jenny couldn't believe it. The girl she had spent the past week learning about was right in front of her, reprimanding her for following in her footsteps. In fact, Jenny thought that Kim was beginning to act like a nagging mother. Or an uppity best friend. That led Jenny to respond with an appropriate retort. "You're just jealous!" "Jealous? I am not jealous!" "Of course you are! You thought you were making a difference by saving the world. But when I came in and stole some of your thunder, you couldn't stand another teen girl just like you! So now you're just trying to get me out of the way so that you can get all the glory!" "I'd never do such a thing!" "Oh yeah? Well, let me throw this at you, Kim! It was my decision alone to apply for the job, Drakken gave it to me, and I'm just doing what I'm paid to do. Drakken's a great teacher, and he showed me how great of a teen hero you are. If it wasn't for him, then I wouldn't have gotten this far!" "Maybe so, but don't you realize now how evil Drakken is? Regardless of the fact that he got you to this point, he is the bad guy!" "How do I know that you aren't the bad guy?" "Whoa..." Ron cut in. "She threw you a change-up there, KP." "I don't get it," Kim said, confused. "You didn't drink that bowl of soup, so why are you acting this way towards me?" "Because it's the way I've always felt about you. To be like you, I have to beat you! And I don't care how far I have to go to do it!" Jenny leapt at Kim, catching her by complete surprise as she tackled the teen hero to the ground. "That's it!" Drakken shouted from the blimp. "Destroy Kim Possible!" Kim and Jenny began to go at it, tumbling over each other through the debris that littered the streets. One moment Jenny would be on top, and the next, Kim would be. Ron chased after them, hoping to get in between them and stop the fighting. One problem... he couldn't decide who to pull up first. "Give up yet?" Jenny asked, currently on top. "So not!" Kim replied, pushing Jenny aside so that she was now on top. "What are you two doing?" Ron asked them. "We're all on the same side here... I think." The two stopped rolling around, with Kim kneeling over Jenny. The two struggled for control, as their hands were interlocked, attempting to use brute strength to overpower the other. At first, Ron was fine with standing by as he saw Kim began to get an advantage. But then Jenny began to play dirty, as she wrapped her ankles around Kim's left ankle, attempting to twist it even more. "Unnnnhhhh..." mumbled Kim, as the pain was quickly becoming unbearable. So unbearable that Jenny managed to push Kim backwards. Kim was now facing up towards the sky, in a crab-like position. But she was unable to move, as Jenny sat up and continued to apply pressure to Kim's swollen ankle. "You should know better than to mess with me, especially in the condition that you're in," Jenny said, smiling evilly. "Kim!" Ron said, forced to jump in and pull Jenny off of Kim before his best friend was seriously injured. "Stay out of this, sidekick boy!" Jenny shouted, but Ron wouldn't have any of it. "The name's Ron Stoppable, and nobody messes with my best friend!" Ron reached around Jenny's head with his left arm and got her into a headlock. As he expected, she wasn't strong enough to break out of it. "Let go of me!" "Not until you let go of KP's ankle!" Ron proceeded to tighten the headlock, which in turn began to cut off circulation to Jenny's brain. As a result, she was no longer able to keep Kim's left ankle sandwiched in between her own, and was forced to let go. Once Ron saw that happen, he released Jenny from the headlock. Jenny leaned her head to the side and coughed, trying to regain some of the air that had been knocked out of her. Meanwhile, Ron ran over to Kim's side to comfort her, as the pain in her ankle had become excruciating. "Kim, are you all right?" Ron asked as he looked down at Kim's left ankle. "Darn it..." Kim gritted her teeth as she was doing her best to not scream her head off. "I think she got it pretty bad. I don't think I can get up, much less walk." "What are we going to do?" "You're going to have to have to talk some sense into Jenny. It's the only way!" "But she didn't listen to you! Why would she listen to me?" "You've got to try, Ron! It's our only hope!" Ron noticed that Jenny was getting to her feet. Kim was right. He had no other choice. Jenny couldn't punch or kick as hard as Kim could, but she was still stronger than he was in that department. He had to calm Jenny and convince her that Drakken was the bad guy. "I'm sorry about the headlock, but I had to do it! You were going to hurt Kim!" "I told you, Ron, that I'm not stopping until I've beaten Kim!" "You already beat her. She can't fight any... wait, did you just call me Ron?" "Yeah. That's your name, isn't it?" "You actually remembered my name? Nobody remembers my name!" "Ron!" Kim shouted from off-screen. "Right... gotta keep focused!" "Allow me to help!" Jenny motioned to punch Ron's eyes out, but he managed to duck in time to avoid it. Quickly taking advantage of the miss, Ron pushes Jenny away from him. "Is that the best you can do?" taunted Jenny. "Don't make me pull out the rest of my wrestling moves on you!" Ron shouted back. "I don't like hitting girls... but I will if I have to!" Jenny charged at Ron again, this time going for a simple knockout punch to the chest. But Ron managed to dodge that blow as well, leaning back to avoid it. "Stand still!" "And let you hit me? No way!" Ron turned around and started running away from Jenny. But she wasn't going to let him get away that easily. "Kim!" Ron yelled, fearful for his life as he dodged a second punch. "Hold on!" Kim shouted back as she put all of her weight on her arms. She was attempting to brace herself as she tried to get to her feet. But out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Drakken's blimp land on the road, twenty feet away. "Get her!" Drakken ordered, pointing at Kim. Four of Drakken's henchmen charged out of the blimp and over towards Kim, electricity-laden, double foam-ended jousting sticks in hand. Kim managed to lift herself into a handstand position. With all of the strength she could muster, Kim used her hands as springs to lift herself up into the air. She then came back down and landed a right-legged drop kick to the first henchman, sending him sprawling to the ground. Landing on her right foot, Kim then quickly ducked under the stick of the second henchman, which had been swung at her. As she delivered a low roundhouse kick to knock that one off of his feet, the third and fourth henchmen were in striking range. She attempted to flip over the third in order to get between them, but he had other ideas. Number three's reach was high enough to grab Kim's left ankle, forcing her to come out of her cannonball-like state. Kim was now defenseless, with the third henchman squeezing her injured ankle and her hanging upside down as the fourth came right at her, swinging his stick all over the place. But Kim was not motionless, as she swung her body to her right to avoid the stick, which ended up hitting the third henchman. The third, stunned by the hit, releases his grip on Kim's ankle. With split second timing, Kim manages to flip upright and avoid landing on the ground head-first. Unfortunately, it was her left foot that hit the pavement first. Kim's ankle seemed to collapse, as did the rest of her body as what she thought had been a clean landing ended up being a disasterous one as she hit the pavement hard. As Kim struggled to get to her feet again to defend herself, the four henchmen, having all recovered from their initial blows, surrounded her. Kim noticed that the pain was now unbearble in her left leg, as now she had a scraped knee and a swollen ankle. Some blood was coming out of her knee, right where the pavement had scratched away skin. Kim bit her lip, still trying to keep from screaming out in pain. But in doing that, she tasted blood as well, as a part of her lip was bleeding too. Kim was greatful that it wasn't much worse. It's too bad that she was now so exhausted that she couldn't break free of the goons' grip as two of them lifted her up and restrained her arms so that she couldn't move. "Isn't it grand how easily the tables can turn?" Drakken asked, smiling as he walked up to finish Kim personally. "You haven't won yet, Drakken!" Kim said defiantly, determined to fight until the bitter end. "Hold on, KP!" Ron yelled as he ran towards Drakken and the goon squad. "I'll get you out of this!" "Surprise!" Jenny shouted, coming out of her hiding place and spraying Ron with a bottle of water. "Hey!" Ron put his hands in front of him to deflect the water away from him. He took a step back to better brace himself against the water spray, and ended up stepping in some clear-colored goo that someone had left on the sidewalk. "Aaaaaahhhhhh!" Ron yelled as he attempted to lift his back foot up, but found it stuck to the aforementioned substance. Jenny stopped spraying Ron and smiled. Kim was all but powerless to help herself, and Ron couldn't run over and help her. Things were working out just as she had planned. "Kim's not the only one who uses cosmetic products to defeat her enemies." Rufus hopped out of Ron's pants pocket and ran down his leg, hoping to pry his buddy out. But in doing so, Rufus stepped into the gel, leaving his own feet stuck to the ground as well. "Uh oh," Rufus chirped. "Uh oh is not good," Ron said as he glanced over at Jenny. She was making her way over to Drakken. "Great work, Jen Able!" Drakken said, congratulating his KP-wannabe. "Now it's time for you to finish the job!" When Kim saw that Jenny was coming over to take care of her personally, she twisted and turned to try and wriggle her way out of the grip of the two henchmen. But that was to no avail. Bruised and slightly battered, Kim was powerless to do anything as Jenny came to a stop right in front of her. "I hate to do this to ya," Jenny said to Kim, "but to be the best, I have to get rid of the best. Nothing personal." "Ha ha ha ha ha!" laughed Drakken. "This is the end, Kim Possible!" Doctor Drakken and Jenny shared an evil round of laughter, as Kim's confidence flew out the window. Things were looking pretty dark, and there was absolutely no way out of this one. Kim knew that it would take nothing short of a miracle to survive this one. ============================== End Chapter Eight ============================== Preview of Chapter 9: "The Tables Have Been Turned" - Is this really the end?
