Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Ch.01

"Drakken, you have to stop!" The buffoon yelled but all Drakken heard was the sidekick trying to stop him from conquering the world. He couldn't give up, not when the Pan Dimensional Vortex Inducer(P.D.V.I.) showed him his goal just within reach.

"Drakken, the P.D.V.I. is tearing reality apart! How else do you think we found you? You didn't just open a door to another universe, you've made ours a magnet and all other universe's are literally fighting for the same space. If you don't stop, the universe, heck the multiverse is going to implode when they all overlap!" Drakken looked at the buffoon speaking, honestly he knew his name, Ronald Dean Stoppable, but to him he was a buffoon, he was like a mirror of who Drakken used to be before he entered college and ended up becoming Dr Drakken and he couldn't stop. Not for himself and not for everyone that gets subjected to such humiliation by their so called friends.

"You'll thank me one day, trust me." Drakken assured and looked for Shego who was currently fighting Kim Possible. "Shego, this is our stop!"

Just after Shego threw Kim for some space to reach the wormhole created by the P.D.V.I. Kim flipped after the throw and brought out her repel/hairdryer and fired just above the wormhole. When Drakken noticed he turned to warn Shego but Kim's feet collided with her back hard enough that everyone heard the sound of bone breaking and launched the villainess towards the wormhole. 'Good, now all that's needed is me and I'll win.'

As Drakken moved forward to join Shego who was about to hit the wormhole time seemed to slow to a crawl as he envisioned his moment of triumph but everything went wrong as Ron appeared ahead of Shego and attempted to catch her to prevent her from entering. Drakken froze at the sight. 'No no no! You'll ruin everything!!' His thoughts screamed at Ron as he watched the young man catch Shego but fail to slow her momentum causing both to go through the wormhole.

"Noooooo!" Drakken yelled at he watched the wormhole disappear. Then at the fastest speed he ever moved in his life he turned to the command console to try and stop the program he set up from trashing the P.D.V.I.

~~~

"Rooooon!" Kim Possible yelled not having intended for that to happen. It had all been a reflex to kick Shego, she just hadn't measured her strength or the direction. "Drakkeeeen!" She yelled seeing the man had reached a console and was desperately interacting with it. "Stooop!"

Kim was unraveling at the seems with what just happened and had yet to realize it. She was a mess of emotions guilt, grief, self-loathing and anger. Lots and lots of anger. Angry that her date with Josh had to be canceled. Angry that the authorities can't hold the criminals and villains she captures. And angry that a mission might have cost her her best friend. So when she saw Drakken interacting with his machine she lost it and started rushing at him.

When Kin reached Drakken at the console her blinding rage had taken over her thoughts entirely and she yanked Drakken from the machine before proceeding to beat him even as he tried to explain that they needed to reach the P.D.V.I. Just after thst Drakken's face became a bloody mess and he'd fallen unconscious.

"Kim respond!" Wade called through the Kimnunicator's speakers. "Ron, Ruffus, anyone hear me. Listen, everything's returning to normal but Ron, your vitals disappeared, tell me you guys are okay!" Wade waited a moment before declaring. "I'm sending Global Justice(G.J.) in."

Wade's voice finally reached Kim's ears giving her a bit of hope that the 13 years old super genius might save the day. She quickly reached into her pocket and brought out the Kimmunicator.

"Wade!" Kim yelled desperately explaining what happened and hoping he could help.

"Kim! Kim!! Kim you need to take a breath and slow down!" Wade called out. "As is, your not making any sense and until you do I'm unable to do anything! So breathe and start at the top."

Kim did her best to calm down and organize her thoughts then she spoke. "Ron and Shego went through the wormhole made by the P.D.V.I. before it closed. Then I stopped Drakken from possibly reactivating the machine but I don't know how to operate it and bring them back. Wade we need to get Ron back! It was my fault Wade and I might have killed my best friend."

"Kim connect the Kimmunicator to the machine and let me see what I can do." Wade ordered.

Kim did as instructed and started pacing in front of the device knowing that her hopes relied heavily on the next few moments. Time was crawling by and Kim counted while holding back from questioning Wade. 10 seconds, 30seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 10 minutes and she finally couldn't wait any longer.

"Wade talk to me." Kim called out but the teen didn't respond. "Wade!" Kim yelled.

"Kim, look for the P.D.V.I. we need to remove it from the machine before the program runs it's course and destroys it!" Wade called out finally realizing what Drakken had tried to do. "That's what Drakken was up to! He was trying to override the program he set up so we wouldn't simply use his machine to stop him. Kim without the P.D.V.I. our hands are going to be tied, we need it intact!"

Kim sprung into action as Wade was explaining and realized that she might have stopped Drakken from saving the P.D.V.I. 'No no no! This can't be happening! Please let me not be too late. PLEASE!!' As Kim looked around the machine she finally spotted a melted price on the floor and realized that she might have really doomed her friend causing her to let out a soul wrenching scream that told Wade everything he needed to know just before she lost consciousness.

~~~

Dr Ann Possible was in a hospital room looking at her unconscious daughter's medical sheet and noticed that there wasn't anything physically wrong with her, at least the doctors didn't find anything. So her only choice was to wait for her daughter to wake up. Ann lifted her head from the sheet, looked at her daughter then at the clock on the wall and decided she might as well talk to James and calm him down.

As she reached the door she heard Kim gasp for air before yelling at the top of her lungs. "ROOOOOON!"

"Kim sweetie, calm down." Ann yelled trying to get heard over the scream and noticing the heart monitor spike at an alarming rate. "Kim! Breathe Kim, you need to breathe and talk to me."

As Kim looked around her, Ann reached her side and held her down since she wanted to get up from the bed and she had an I.V. still connected.

Struggling Kim yelled. "Ron, Ron get in here."

Ann saw that Kim was in no state to think rationally and had no choice to try and sedate her but her hands were tied up holding Kim. The second the door open Ann yelled. "We need a sedative stat!"

"Yes Doctor!" The blonde haired nurse acknowledged and left the room to get one. Not a minute later she was back and put the required dosage through the I.V.

In a few moments Kim's struggles lessened and she started to struggle staying awake, then she finally fell unconscious again.

Sighing Ann looked at the nurse and gave a set of instructions. After the nurse heard and called the nurse's station to let them know that the patient in room 213 needed a supervision and restraints till she wakes and calms down long enough to talk to her doctor, Ann left the room to calm down her husband who no doubt was loosing it after hearing Kim scream like that.

When Ann left the room, James rushed her followed by the twins and Dr Elizabeth 'Betty' Director asking. "Ann tell me what Ronald did to my Kimmie cub and I swear I'm going to send him to a black hole."

"James!" Ann yelled. "Calm down, Kim is physically healthy but for whatever reason she is so distraught that she's not listening to reason. You heard her, the first thing she did upon waking up was yell and demand that Ron see her. And speaking of Ron, when are you going to tell us where he is Dr Director?"

"That's the thing I wanted to confirm from your daughter, Doctors Possible." Dr Director sighed.

"Well, what's the current theory?" Ann asked looking at Dr Director in her one eye and not backing down.

"From what Wade informed us and my agents gathered in Drakken's lair, parallel universe or disintegrated." Dr Director answered.

Ann eyes widened to the limit at her answer. "No, it can't be! I saw him just yesterday!"

Dr James Possible paled in shame and sadness at the news even as the twins started crying, which is something they rarely did. 'I thought he hurt Kimmie cub not died or end up in a parallel universe.'

"How did this happen?" Ann asked, shaking. James went to her side and held her.

"All we know is that Kim had kicked Shego towards the wormhole created by the P.D.V.I. and when Ron noticed he tried getting in between to stop her momentum but both ended up going in instead of Shego and Drakken." Dr Director began to explain. "Then it appears that Drakken having failed, tried to stop a built in program into his machine that would reduce the P.D.V.I. into a molten heap but Kim stopped him, possibly thinking he was simply trying again. Then Wade was plugged into the device and realized what was happening instructed Kim to locate and secure the P.D.V.I. but it had already been destroyed. From what Wade told us, Kim seemed to have passed out upon seeing the device." Then Dr Director looked at her watch and informed. "That was precisely 23 hours, 12 minutes and 11 seconds ago."

Feeling her strength leaving her Ann approached a seat and collapsed onto it, then she reached for her son's and hugged them close, grieving for Ron who was like a son to her.

"Have the Stoppable's been informed?" James asked.

"We have been unable to reached them and from what we gathered they had gone on vacation to Europe." Dr Director answered.

~~~

Going back a little over 23 hours ago.

As Ron reflexively caught Shego not wanting her to pass through the wormhole they both ended up going through and the first thing reached his senses was an unimaginable level of pain. He screamed. And from what he could hear, Shego was going through the same thing, as her screams mirrored his own.

At this point, Ron wanted nothing more than to curl into a ball and protect himself from whatever was happening. Then another of Shego's screams reached him, much weaker than the first and he knew for certain that she wasn't going to survive the experience. Opening his eyes he saw blood starting to flow from her nose, eyes, ears and mouth prompting him to act.

Ron positioned himself better to try and put himself between whatever was affecting them and Shego. When he saw Shego attempting to curl into a ball and failing, Ron princess carried her and reached to the one thing his destiny kept pushing him towards since that first mission with Monkey Fist, the Mythical Monkey Power(MMP). Ron knew exactly where to find it within himself, after all he spent 3 years constantly suppressing it both in fear of it and what he could become. Just as he learned at Yamanouchi, he could wield the MMP with some focus.

The results where instantaneous as Ron and Shego were wrapped in a blue energy sphere. The pain lessened as hoped and Shego fell unconscious, the bad news was the energy consumption and that there was no end in sight. So Ron did what he does best in this moments, he dug deep within himself and held on for all he was worth.

~~~

Ron was struggling to keep maintaining the energy barrier after what felt like days and still being trapped. The reason for his struggle was simple as he'd been maintaining an energy barrier around himself and Shego for a long time and that put a strain on him both physically and mentally. He felt physically and mentally exhausted and there was no end in sight.

With bloodshot eyes Ron realized that without a change in their situation he would pass out and either doom them both or be the only survivor. Ron was not ready to give up on both of them surviving. He started raking his mind for any idea that'll keep him awake but kept finding only one, pain. Pain strong enough to prevent him from going unconscious. That left only one problem and a LOT of worries.

The problem was obvious, would Ron survive? The worries equally so, can he remain focused enough to maintain the barrier on Shego? Will he have enough energy to make it through their predicament? And finally, what's on the other side of this passage?

Noticing his procrastination, Ron gritted his teeth and reshaped the barrier to only protect Shego. The pain was instantaneous but Ron's resolve and focus endured though his throat was going sore from stifled screams. 'This can work but for how long?' Ron thought to himself.

~~~

Kim woke up two more times and was sedated before she was calm enough to talk on the third time. A psychiatrist and her doctor were present as Ann, James, Dr Director and Wade confirmed for Kim that the mission had indeed happened and although there was a great sacrifice the amount of lives saved should be a comfort.

After the truth sank in Kim started to cry and Ann asked everyone to leave the room so her family could grieve. The twins came in as everyone exited and hugged their sister without saying a word. Ann and James soon joined them and for what felt like a lifetime they cried. An hour in, the twins and Kim had cried themselves to sleep so Ann grabbed one and James the other and headed home.

Kim was to spend a few days in observation and talking to a psychiatrist before she gets discharged.

~~~

Wade had spent neigh upon 50 hours awake trying his best to find a means to rescue Ron and Shego for he believed with certainty that they had survived.

The problem he kept running into was the P.D.V.I. There was absolutely no replacing it and the creator had died after destroying the blueprints. Why he did such a thing was unknown but the man took with him the only way for Wade to save his friend.

Frustrated and at his wits end, Wade screamed in frustration and started smashing his keyboard. His mom heard the noise and let herself into his room to check on him. Seeing Wade's appearance she took him in her arms and lulled him to sleep by rocking him back and forth for an hour.

When Wade woke up it had been 8 hours and he found his mom waiting for him with something to eat. Wade knew that his mom was going to stay by his side till he explained what happened and he didn't know how to tell her that although he's a genius he has no idea how to save his friend.

Eventually her soothing and patient support won and Wade spoke. "I lost a friend on the last mission." He saw her eyes widened and continued. "He didn't die, I am certain of it but he got sent to another universe with another person and as much as tried I can't find a way to reverse it."

"Wade, sweetie look at me." His mom said. Reluctantly, ashamed and afraid to see disappointment on her face, Wade looked up. "If you're certain he, they, are alive isn't it too early to give up?" All he saw was love and support.

"But the only way to save them is through the P.D.V.I. and it's been destroyed." Wade said.

"Look for the creator." His mom suggested.

"He's dead." Wade explained.

"Blueprints?" His mom tried.

"Creator destroyed them before his death." Wade countered. "I'm at a dead end."

"Then isn't the answer obvious?" His mom said. Wade tilted his head in confusion. "I assume you know the theory of how the device worked?" His mom pushed on and asked. Wade nodded still not seeing where she was going with this. "And you know that the device works since they're alive." His mom said and again Wade nodded. "So why don't you try building your own?"

Wade understood his mom but the complexity in such an endeavor stumped him. But his mom was right. Wade knew the theory, he knew it worked since he was certain that Ron and Shego were alive. So all he technically needed to do was figure out the how and put it to work.

"Mom you're a genius!" Wade called out as he rushed her for a hug.

'I hope I didn't just destroy his life by giving him hope.' Wade's mom thought as she hugged him tight.

~~~

Ron's agonizing pain continued till he saw a swirling wormhole ahead of them. In a few minutes they passed the wormhole and Ron saw a blinding set of lights directed at him and Shego. On his knees while clutching onto the unconscious Shego, Ron looked around until shapes came into focused behind the glaring light and the sight shocked him to the core.

Lorwardians machines surrounded them from all sides making Ron briefly wonder if they ended up on their home planet. As for knowing the machines were Lorwardian was easy with the nine feet tall green woman among them.

"Warmonga." Ron said as he felt his vision swimming and passed out.

~~~

Shego woke up in what was unmistakably a cell but that wasn't as abnormal as she'd would have preferred. Then she tried seating and panic ensued. She couldn't feel her lower body but Shego's arms worked fine and when she lifted them she was able to see them though her suit had tairs all over. Though Shego knew that she must have gone through a lot during the wormhole, the complete lack of feeling from her chest down was unnerving her.

With difficulty, Shego managed to put her arms behind her on what she assumed was a cot from the feeling in her fingers and pushed herself up. With the elevation her eyes saw past her breasts and laid upon her unresponsive body. Shego's legs were pointing different directions and laid limp on what she confirmed was a cot. Controlling her rising dread, Shego tried to command her legs to move, twitch or anything that'll give her a sign whatever happened was temporary. No such sign was seen.

With tears streaming down her face Shego laid down and started pinching herself hard enough to cause her pain but nothing. No pain was felt not even the sensation of touch was felt from her body. 'But how? How did I end up paralyzed?' Shego thought to herself as she tried to make sense of the situation. Shego remembered fighting Kim and Drakken letting her know it was time. Thus, when she saw an opening she tossed Kim aside and turned towards the wormhole generated by Drakken's machine. Soon after she was hit in the back hard and launched towards the wormhole. In fact, she remembers hearing bone break from the impact and Stoppable move to catch her. A moment later she remembers an unimaginable level of pain before passing out. Next she came to, Shego was in this cell.

With that realization Shego yelled at the top of her lungs. "Fuuuuuuuuuck!!! Stoppable, anyone get out here this instant!! I need medical help!"

Shego spent what felt like hours pleading for medical help but only silence answered her.

~~~

Warmonga was ecstatic. The anomaly that had come up on her systems turned out to be a wormhole and through it the buffoon and the battle maiden appeared.

Oh yes, Warmonga was ecstatic and after she updated the Great Blue, he had praised her for finding a new world to conquer. And conquer they shall. Thus in preparation for the Great Blue's arrival Warmonga knew it was up to her to get the information necessary to access that world. So upon returning to the nearest base she dropped the unresponsive Shego at a holding cell and took Ron to an interrogation room.

Warmonga started the interrogation with a shock to Ron's system to jolt him awake.

"Aaaarrghhh!" Ron screamed as the electricity coursed through his system.

"Good, you're awake." Warmonga teased as if she had simply called out to Ron.

"Warmonga!" Ron called out once the electricity stopped.

"And you seem to recognize me." Warmonga noted, adding. "I'll be asking you some questions now and when you answer truthfully we'll move the next one. When you lie or take too long to answer..." A shock went through Ron's system ripping a scream through his lips at the suddenness. "Now shall we begin?"

~~~

Ron did not like his wake up call nor how the foreseeable future was looking to be. He kept wondering where Shego was and whether they were on earth or not.

As Ron's thoughts wondered a mile a minute Warmonga asked her next question. "How did the wormhole that brought you here work?"

"That I honestly don't know." Ron answered and from Warmonga's eyes drifting to the side she was tracking his heartbeat.

"What are the components necessary to recreate that event?" Warmonga asked.

Hearing that question Ron connected the dots and he did not like the picture they were making. Warmonga was interested in getting to his world and Ron knew on an instinctual level that he couldn't allow that. Thus he gritted his teeth and waited. Four seconds in, Warmonga shocked him.

"Aaaarrghhh!" Ron yelled when the intensity of the shock was higher than he expected.

"Now, now human, as much as I'd like to hear your screams I expect answers and answers I'll get. Whether from you or your companion." Warmonga threatened.

"Leave Shego out of this!" Ron demanded.

"Then you better answer me." Warmonga threatened. "Now tell me the components necessary to recreate the wormhole that brought you here."

"I can't do that." Not long after Ron spoke the shock coursed through his system. Ron stifled his scream as Warmonga let the current do its work. He tried to think of a solution that would get both him and Shego out of their predicament but nothing came to mind, especially if they weren't on earth. With that line of thought he decided to ask just where had he landed. "How did I land on your planet anyway?"

"Hahahaha, you think yourself worthy?" Warmonga laughed. "You are on earth where you shall live the rest of your days as a slave to the Great Blue so long as you cooperate. Now tell me what I want to know."

'We are on earth? That means Warmonga conquered the planet but how?' Ron asked himself. He knew that the technology at her disposal was leagues above earth's but what about Team Possible?

~~~

Just after Shego took a break from pleading for medical help, which was hours later, a smoking body smelling of burnt flesh was dragged into cell and tossed into a corner. Shego stared at the being who brought the body, Warmonga.

"Good, you're awake." Warmonga smiled like a shark that smelled blood. "It's your turn next."

Unlike Ron, who wondered where they even were. Shego knew that they were still on earth as she had paid at least that much attention to Drakken when he ranted about his plan. What she did not expect was Warmonga seeming to have conquered the planet.

"Get up." Warmonga commanded.

"I can't." Shego croaked through her dried throat.

"A ruse for your escape is useless, now stand!" Warmonga demanded.

"I can't!" Shego repeated, then added. "My back has been severely injured and I can't feel most of my body. I need medical attention."

Warmonga eyed Shego closely from where she stood for a whole five minutes before she closed the distance between them and grabbed her by the arm. Lifting Shego onto her shoulder, Warmonga turned to head out the prison cell. As she was being carried Shego finally got a good look at the body that was thrown on the other side of her cell, Stoppable.

A few turns and long walks down empty hallways, Warmonga brought Shego into a room lit by multiple white lights and giving the faint scent of cleaning supplies making her think of a medical bay. Warmonga put Shego down at a table at the center and pressed a few buttons on the panels at the side. The table then seemed to glow and above Shego her body's condition was displayed in a hologram. Shego could see where her spine broke and though the bones were mending nicely, the nerves were still torn and showing no sign of improvement.

"I see that your claims were true." Warmonga casually commented. "For your honesty I shall make you an offer, tell me all you know about the wormhole that brought you here and I'll have your spine treated by the most advanced technology my world has to offer."

For the first time since she woke up on this earth Shego felt hopeful. Thinking quickly and deciding that Warmonga just wanted to confirm what Stoppable already admitted, since she doubted he would have remained quiet through whatever Warmonga did to him, Shego accepted and began to talk. Shego completely missed Warmonga's smile at how easy she had gotten what she wanted.

~~~

Kim spent nearly a week in the hospital under close psychiatric observation before getting prescribed a couple of antidepressants and sleep aids then getting discharged.

At home, Kim was welcomed by her whole family and Monique. Nana gave her a strong hug and whispered that everything will be alright. Her uncle and Joss hugged her next and from Joss's eyes Kim knew she'd been recently crying. Monique still had tears in her eyes as she fiercely hugged Kim and in a corner of her mind Kim was glad that Monique hadn't blamed her for what happened to Ron.

The twins weren't as energetic as they used to be and were holding Rufus who seemed to be rapidly losing weight.

"We're glad your doing better, Kim." The twins greeted in stereo but lacking their usual cheer.

"Kimmie-cub." James called out as he wrapped her in a tight hug.

"Hope your hungry Kim, for Nana made something special for you." Ann said trying to change the heavy atmosphere in the room.

Kim did her best to smile but everyone could see it was forced as they led her into the kitchen. As they ate everyone did their best to maintain a lively atmosphere and had Kim participating in the conversations occasionally until she started crying. After Kim was Joss and Monique, then Ann and the twins, the meal ended up forgotten so Nana put away the leftovers.

James got a shot of whiskey for him and the adults which they downed while waiting for everyone to calm down.

"I'm sorry." We're the first words out of Kim's mouth once she got her emotions under control. "I'm so sorry."

"Kimberly dear, there's nothing to apologize for." Nana soothed.

"B..but...but!" Kim tried.

"Kim your Nana is right." Monique cut in. "You're not god, Kim, you have to forgive yourself for what happened. It wasn't your fault."

Kim looked around the room, her eyes wide and vulnerable and her lower lip quivering as she held back from crying again and nodded.

~~~

Wade was in a world of his own as he kept researching everything that was related wormholes, teleportation, interdimensional travel, the multiverse and time.

At first Wade hadn't researched time but then he thought that the trip to the other universe was instantaneous so he decided to branch out into time. This was the last week for Wade and his appetite was decreasing daily as he came to a realization. This project is the work of a lifetime. This meant two things. One, though it might take years he was confident to eventually Crack it. And two, assuming Ron was safe, he might have given up hope on returning by the time he succeeded.

As the facts sunk in, Wade's trembling hands left the keyboard and caressed his eyes. Soon after tears streamed down his face.

~~~

Yamanouchi, Japan

Yori was kneeling in front of Master Sensei as she reported on Ron's situation, her eyes red from crying.

"Yori, I see you have something you want to say so fear not and speak your mind." Master Sensei said after a minute of silence and seeing that Yori barely held back from speaking.

"... can anything be done to bring Stoppable-san back to us, Master Sensei?" Yori finally managed to ask.

"I am afraid I don't know." Master Sensei said gravely and saw Yori's whole body tremble as if he beat the words into her. Thinking a moment Master Sensei added. "If there is hope I only know of one place we could find it." Yori's body stilled to such a degree that Master Sensei feared her heart ceased to beat prompting him to add. "Yori come with me."

"Yes, Master Sensei." Yori said as she swiftly sprung to her feet, ready to follow.

Master Sensei did not waste time and quickly exited his office and started to lead Yori through the school towards the more secure sections. A few minutes of silence later they arrived at their destination. Standing in front of both Yori and Master Sensei was a shrine that was said to house Yamanouchi's biggest secret. Master Sensei walked towards the Tori gate and pushed a depression on its back. A slight vibration went through Yamanouchi and Master Sensei stepped towards the shrine. A minute later Yori was shocked to see a hidden staircase where none lay before. Master Sensei didn't hesitate to walk down it's step and led Yori to where Yamanouchi housed the Lotus Blade and records dating back thousands of years.

Turning to Yori Master Sensei said. "If there is a way to bring Stoppable-san back it will be among these records."

"Yes, Master Sensei."

Yori agreed and quickly went towards the records as Master Sensei added. "Remember these are older than one can imagine."

~~~

Ron had spent the time since he'd woken up in a holding cell thinking of how to escape. Ron had counted the time since he woke up waiting for Warmonga to bring him into another interrogation after having failed with Shego and dreaded the moment was near.

It was only 12 hours after regaining consciousness that he realized that something was wrong. He'd yet to see Warmonga or hear anything besides his empty stomach all this time. Thankfully water wasn't an issue since there was a sink next to a metal toilet in the cell.

When a day passed Ron knew for certain that he needed to escape and it had to be soon or he'd likely won't have the strength to anymore. With that thought in mind Ron started inspecting the holding cell thoroughly. An hour later Ron was disappointed as he found nothing useful. Again left with no choice, he looked inwards and once again found the MMP.

Ron wasn't completely clueless on how to use the MMP having trained at Yamanouchi but he was worried what might happen to him by having so much power at his beck and call. He remembered having let things go to his head alot and how he acted like a different person. So it was with a bit of apprehension that he began manipulating the MMP that reminded him of a star. The power seemed like an extension of himself but there was also some resistance that made Ron aware that it had sentience though limited.

As Ron used the MMP, he felt it's desire to be one with himself and no longer feared, to improve along side him and be free. This made Ron pause, briefly afraid of losing sight of who he is but he felt the MMP reasure him that this would not be the case. Ron sighed, deep down knowing that everything was about to change but with a last shudder he let the MMP do what it wanted and merge with him.

After a moment, Ron knew instinctively that the process had started and it'll take time to finish. Seeing as he suddenly didn't feel like a different person, Ron relaxed and stood up ready to make his escape. Ron approached the reinforced and practically bullet proof glass and pushed. At first nothing changed but Ron simply kept using the MMP and pushing, then something seemed to click in Ron's mind and with a subtle manipulation of the MMP Ron felt his strength increase explosively causing the reinforced glass to shatter as if it had been fragile.

The second Ron was out of the holding cell he had to choose what to do next, whether hightail it out of there or try and rescue Shego. The choice was made before the alarm start blaring a split second later.

~~~

After Shego had told Warmonga everything she knew about the wormhole, the P.D.V.I and the multiverse theories that Drakken had ranted about, Warmonga nodded and said she'd be back after confirming her claims. This made Shego wonder what she meant by confirming since she should have just confirmed everything Stoppable had admitted to.

With dawning realization Shego understood that Ron never talked and she had just sold her universe without so much as thinking it twice. With that thought in mind Shego tried to convince herself that once her spine was fixed she'd do something about the mess she'd made but as the minutes turned to hours she started to worry.

It was when Warmonga came back that Shego visibly relaxed and asked. "So when's the procedure to fix my spine?"

It was Warmonga's smirk that unsettled Shego the most, the gaint couldn't contain it as she pressed a few buttons and the same hologram as before appeared above Shego. Then Warmonga spoke. "For this type of injury my predecessors determined that it had to be operated within the first 24 hours for the procedure to work."

Hearing Warmonga's words Shego's mind tried it's best to recall how long it's been. "Good, it's only been like twelve hours maybe sixteen."

"That is where you're wrong." Warmonga denied with her smirk widening a little. "The scans show that your injury is 61 hours old. That means that restoring your spine is no longer possible." Warmonga gloated as Shego tried to wrap her mind around her reality. "Seeing as we had a deal the best my technology can do i..."

"You knew!" Shego shouted. "You knew it was too late and still let me believe it could be fixed."

Warmonga looked Shego in the eye as she continued her sentence. "...the best my technology can do is to transfer your mind into a robotic attachment with which you can serve the empire."

"You mean to turn me into a robot?" Shego asked incredulously.

"Techniacly an android but yes, that is the best treatment my technology has to offer." Warmonga confirmed, adding. "I will have a few models displayed for you to select one and will be back to hear your decision. Between us, I recommend you choose one as the alternative won't be desirable."

Shego's thoughts were in disarray after what she heard. Too late to fix the spine, turn into a robot and to top it off unable to even fix her mistake. It was all to much for her, so she closed her eyes and let the tears flow. After a long time and feeling like she had no tears left Shego focused above her head on the hologram models. She quickly noticed a theme, a glorified vacuum or window cleaner, no humanoid options or even war machines to choose from. Shego would be turning into a janitor.

That was Shego's limit, she passed out.

Warmonga was just arriving at the storage where the documentation showed the P.D.V.I to be located. She had called ahead and asked for the device to be located so as to avoid a delay so she was looking forward to presenting it to the Great Blue. Her achievements should see her elevated to the highest position besides that of the Great Blue, after all she would be presenting him the multiverse to conquer.

Thus, it was in a great mood that Warmonga entered the storage facility and walked by the nervous personnel. Soon arriving at the directors office, she walked in to find a balding human with brown skin sweating profusely as he paced behind a desk. The human proceeded to stutter a greeting and bow before her but Warmonga was growing inpatient.

"Where is the device?" Warmonga asked calmly. Seeing the human flinched as if she yelled got on Warmonga nerves. "I will not repeat myself."

"A-a about th-that." The human began to speak quietly. "I-it ha-as be-een des-stroyed!"

The words were barely understandable for Warmonga thanks to her senses. "What do you mean, it's been destroyed?"

"W-we los-st it an-d a few o-others duri-ing a raid b-by the re-rebels a yea-ar ago." The human explained before stilling as Warmonga glared.

For a moment Warmonga's mind went blank when she heard the man's words then before he blinked she had him by the throat and in the air. The man's body was trembling again even as he struggled to breathe.

"It's creator?" Warmonga asked quietly.

"Dd-deceased." The human stuttered.

"Blueprints?" Warmonga growled.

The man barely shook his head no before Warmonga broke his neck.

"Damn it!!" Warmonga yelled as she rushed to her spaceship. She needed to get to her prisoners and she needed to get there fast.

Or at least before the Great Blue arrives.
