Everyone was shocked when Bonnie collided with Shego, throwing her to the ground, her fingers raking quickly against the larger woman. Kim gasped as one of Bonnie's fingernails left a shallow gash across Shego's cheek. "Oh Bonnie..."

Shego had had more than enough by that point. Despite the grip Bonnie had with one of her hands tangled in Shego's hair, the villainess was beyond upset. Planting both feet into Bonnie's stomach, she kicked out, launching the teen through the air to crash to the floor in front of Kim.

Shego picked herself up quickly, her hand swiftly moving up to the cut on her cheek. It was lightly bleeding, but Shego could see the blood when she pulled her hand away to look at it. "You little..."

Kim moved quickly to intersperse herself between the two women, her stance defensive. "Bonnie, are you all right?"

Bonnie groaned slightly as she held her stomach, rising to one knee. "I'll live."

Shego took a step close, her hands lit. "Not if I have anything to say about it."

Kim ignored Shego's comments, though she didn't take her eyes off her opponent. "Bonnie, that was the STUPIDEST thing I have ever seen. I know you know how dangerous Shego is."

Bonnie's eyes narrowed, but it wasn't Kim that the cheerleader was looking at. "She took Ron."

Kim paused, hearing the vehemence in her words and knew she'd have to do something to distract her. "Granted, but she isn't the one in charge. Drakken gives the orders."

Drakken visibly paled when Bonnie's eyes locked onto him, and he backed up a step. "Uhh... in all fairness, it was Shego's idea."

Bonnie rose to her feet, now standing beside Kim. "So what do I do?"

Kim had a very evil thought at that moment, considering that they had kidnapped Ron. "Just pretend that he's your father."

That seemed to make all the difference, as Bonnie's eyes went hard and cold, and she began stalking towards the terrified mad scientist. Drakken was backing up as well now, his hands in front of him, trying to keep as much distance between him and her as he could. "Now, now... maybe we could talk this out?"

Bonnie's hands curled into fists, her smile cruel and dark. "No."

"Oh... well then... SHEGO!" With that terrified scream, Drakken bolted from the room, a very angry and determined Bonnie right on his heels.

Shego watched the retreating figures with some amusement, despite the animosity she felt for the brunette at that moment. "THAT is the buffoon's girlfriend?" Shego whistled sharply with a grin. "That boy is just a glutton for punishment, isn't he?"

Kim smirked, glad that Bonnie wasn't here at the moment. "Actually, when she's with Ron, she's almost sweet and demure."

Shego glanced back where Bonnie had disappeared. "THAT hellcat can actually do sweet? Maybe after I beat you I'll throw the two of them into a cell together long enough to see that."

Kim smirked in response, stepping forward. "Or maybe they can visit you in cell block D after we lock you up again."

Shego growled, launching herself forward quickly, swiping at Kim with her claws. Kim managed to duck under that, trying to return with a kick but found her strike blocked. Kim leapt back, putting a bit of space between her and the villainess, maintaining control of the pace of the fight.

It wasn't easy, as Shego, directing the rage she had felt towards Bonnie at Kim, continued to press. Kim backed up against the wall then ducked through one of the holes in the architecture. It provided great cover, and allowed Kim to attack as well.

"Hey KP?" Ron was straining to look up as Kim leapt up to a higher gap in the structure.

Kim couldn't spare him a glance, as she jumped one slash and tried to attack at the same time. "Kinda busy Ron."

"I know, I know, I just… Bonnie seemed REALLY tweaked." Ron winced when her heard Shego's claws tear at the steel above him. "I was just wondering… she's not mad at ME, is she?"

Kim managed to plant a kick into Shego's stomach, knocking her back but not off. "No Ron, she's not mad…" Kim threw herself quickly to the side, barely avoiding the plasma burst, "...at you. She's mad about…" Kim grunted, catching part of the kick on her hip, but managed to catch Shego's leg, twisting the ankle enough that Shego had to pull away, "...a whole lot of things. Trust me though, she's NOT mad at you." Kim flew back and barely managed to snag a piece of the jutting architecture. That last kick by Shego had hurt, and she was running out of patience. "But I will be mad at you if you keep distracting me."

Ron gulped loudly, looking ashamed. "Oops, sorry KP."

"Get back here so I can beat you up properly!"

Drakken risked a glance back, his eyes filled with terror as the brown-haired demon continued to chase after him through the halls of his lair. "Can't we talk this over? I can make peanut butter stickies and cocoa moo."

"YOU TOOK MY BOYFRIEND!"

Drakken yelped as a large breakable object of unknown origin crashed against the wall over his head, shattering. The tinkling of glass hitting the floor spurred him on.

He had been running blind for the first couple of minutes, just hoping to keep ahead of the vicious monster chasing him, but now Drakken took a moment to orient himself. He recognized the corridor he was in. With a flash of insight, Drakken bolted down a hallway to the left. He knew he'd never be able to lose her, she was steadily gaining on him, but if he could just get to his destination, he knew he could turn the tables on her.

Barely ten feet ahead of her, Drakken reached his goal. Throwing himself through the door, he reached blindly onto the shelf and smiled at the raygun shaped device in his hand. He raised it up, in preparation for her.

His courage almost faltered when she rounded the corner, her eyes harsh and unforgiving. Still, he held his gun aloft, fighting hard to maintain the smile. "Ah ha, you have walked right into my trap."

Bonnie gaze flickered from Drakken to the weapon and back again. "Trap? You've been screaming like a little girl for five minutes now."

Drakken grumbled briefly before laughing. "Ahh, but it was all part of my cunning plot. See, now I have you right where I want you, and you'll never escape my wrath." Drakken's laugh echoed out into the corridor.

Bonnie cast another glance at the raygun in his hand then smiled. "You think so."

Drakken's laughter faltered, surprised at the smug look on her face. "Why aren't you cowering before me? I have the weapon, you should be cowering."

Bonnie's smile broadened as she stood in front of him, hands on her hips. "It might have something to do with that sign behind you."

Drakken didn't want to really, but he just had to know. When he saw the sign, his expression fell, and all courage fled him.

'Please remove all battery packs from weapons to keep their charge. Failure to do so means dealing with Shego.'

Drakken lowered his gaze, hoping to find one of the battery packs in front of him, but that was not to be. They must have been on the other side of the room from him, the side of the room where the brown-haired demon…

When he heard the snap of a battery pack into a weapon, he turned. Bonnie had just finished sliding the battery into the weapon she now held and he could hear it charging. His own weapon fell lifelessly from his fingers as a cruel smile came to the cheerleader's face. He was frozen as she slowly raised the weapon, pointing it at him.

"Oh snap."

Rufus paused when he heard the pained scream of Drakken echoing through the lair. He noticed Kim and Shego pause as well before resuming their fight, ignoring everything else around them. Which was exactly what Rufus wanted, so that he could free Ron with no one watching him. It WAS supposed to be Bonnie's job, but she was so upset that she had gone right after Shego And then Drakken. Sure, he was upset about his human getting taken as well, but not that mad. Maybe he shouldn't have slept the whole way to the lair so he would know why she was so angry.

The button was well above him on the wall, probably about six or seven feet up. It wasn't going to be easy getting to it, but he had to try. He just had to find something he could move to get up there.

That was when Ron spotted him, his eyes tracking the fight going on around and above him. "Rufus, buddy, get the chair."

Rufus turned, seeing the sliding chair behind the desk. That was something he could slide over easy enough. He dashed behind it and threw himself into the base of the chair. It was heavy, and hardly moved, but at the second push, he had the momentum, and the chair continued to move.

He slid it under the button and jumped onto the chair. It was still low, but he might be able to jump from there to reach it. Crouching low, he leapt straight up, his eyes on the button. Unfortunately, Rufus came up about half a foot short.

Ron noticed it as well and glanced around, trying to find something to help. "Rufus buddy, grab that ruler."

Rufus glanced back. From his position on the chair, he could see on top of the desk, and could see the ruler sitting there. He glanced back at the button and smiled.

It only took a moment to get the ruler, and then Rufus was onto the back of the chair again. Bracing himself once more, Rufus leapt into the air. This time, he pulled back the ruler and slammed it forward. It struck the button, depressing it, and with a snap, Ron was free.

Ron, released from his restraints, fell to the floor. He picked himself up quickly, scooping Rufus up from the chair. "Way to go buddy." He looked up at the two battling women, wondering how he could help. "So… do you think we should tell Kim I'm free or…" A loud, feminine scream issued into the room from down one of the corridors and Ron's eyes went wide. "Bonnie!"

Ron bolted down the corridor, running as fast as he could. He couldn't believe for a moment he had forgotten his girlfriend, other than the fact that Bonnie rarely ever got involved in this aspect of his life. He rounded the corner, expecting the worst.

Bonnie was just standing there, staring disgustingly at the floor. Ron gasped for breath as he moved up behind her, one hand on his chest. "Bonnie… are… are you all right?"

Bonnie turned back to Ron with a smile, kissing him on the cheek and hugging him tight. "I'm just fine, especially now that I know you're all right."

"But I heard you scream?"

Bonnie pulled back slightly, looking curiously at her boyfriend. It took a moment, but understanding dawned on her. "Oh, that wasn't me, that was him."

"Him?" Ron looked past Bonnie to see the smoking, shuddering lump on the floor. It took Ron a moment to recognize what, or rather who, it was. "Doctor Drakken?"

The lump on the floor shifted until Ron could see eyes peeking back at him. Drakken looked terrible. His clothes were torn and smoking, and when Ron could see the mad scientist's head, he noticed that most of the villain's hair was gone.

Drakken looked up fearfully, his eyes not leaving Bonnie as she glared imperiously down at him. He moved quickly over to beside Ron, hiding behind the teen's leg and clutching him as if his very life depended on it. "I am so, so SOOOO sorry I ever kidnapped you. Please… call off your girlfriend."

Ron looked up at Bonnie and noticed her relieved smile. She wasn't even worried about Drakken anymore, her aggressions released already. Still, Ron decided he'd have a little fun at Drakken's expense for all the hardships he'd put him and Kim through over the last couple of years. "I don't know man, you REALLY upset my girlfriend."

Drakken appeared panicked as he looked up at Ron. "Oh please, I'll do anything. Just don't let her hurt me anymore."

Ron smiled. "Anything?"

Drakken nodded quickly. "Anything."

Kim was starting to feel a bit tired, but she couldn't get a good shot in on Shego. Of course, neither could the villainess, who appeared to be tiring as well. "Ready to give up Shego?"

Shego swiped at Kim, but she was moving much slower than when they had started the fight. "Give up to you? Yeah, that will be the day."

"Shego, we're giving up."

Both Kim and Shego froze and turned at the sound of the voice. Drakken was kneeling on the floor, Ron and Bonnie standing over him. Shego couldn't believe her eyes. "You can't be serious. The buffoon and his girlfriend rough you up a bit and you give up?"

Drakken could hear Bonnie growl behind him and freaked. "Shego, he is not a buffoon. Ron Stoppable is a brilliant young man and an excellent boyfriend. He is caring and loving and… and…" Drakken was close to hyperventilating as he realized he had forgotten his line. Bonnie took mercy on him, leaning down to whisper in his ear. "Yes, yes, caring and loving and wonderful, and his girlfriend Bonnie is the sweetest young woman in the whole world. We should be happy that we can surrender to them."

Shego scoffed, but Kim just looked upset. "Ron, what did you do to him?"

"I didn't do anything KP."

Kim turned her attentions to Bonnie, who just smiled up innocently. "Bonnie…"

"Hey, he kidnapped Ron," Bonnie leaned down, her smile not so innocent as Drakken cringed before her, "and that's NOT something he's ever going to do again, is it?"

Drakken was quick to agree. "No, never again, I promise."

Shego rolled her eyes, a look of distaste on her face. "Well, as much as I do enjoy Drakken groveling on his knees, I don't think I'll be joining him any time soon." With that, Shego let out a furious burst of plasma, catching Kim and the others off-guard. By the time they could see again, Shego stood by the exit, door open, and hovercar visible behind her. "Later Princess, Buffoon. Oh and Devil Child, don't think things are settled between us."

Kim dashed for the door, but Shego shut it behind her and locked it. Kim tried for a couple of moments to open it up, but it was fruitless. "Shoot."

"Don't worry about it too much KP." Ron grabbed Drakken by what remained of the back of his lab coat. "At least we got one of them." He smiled then, leaning over to kiss his girlfriend. "All thanks to this beautiful lady."

Now it was Kim's turn to roll her eyes, as the two of them were getting snuggly while holding a super-villain in a smoking lair. "All right you two, that's enough of that." Kim pulled out her Kimmunicator, signaling their tech genius. "Hey Wade, can you send the plane back for us? We got Drakken, but Shego escaped."

"No problem Kim, it should be out front in just five minutes."

Kim smiled. "Thanks Wade, you rock."

Ron was smiling as well. "Well, now that I'm no longer hanging around here," both girls groaned at the weak pun, "just what was that earlier?" Ron turned his attention to Bonnie, whose expression was falling. "I mean, the way you attacked Shego and Drakken like that…" Ron's question was halted when Bonnie began bawling, throwing herself into her boyfriend's arms. He held her tight, looking at Kim with concern and fear. "Did I say something wrong?"

Kim sighed, grabbing Drakken herself. "No, you didn't, but it's gonna be a LONG story."
