Chapter 58 - Ubel's Plan - Part II

Kim's eyes slowly opened up.

"Uhhh...where are we?"

She tried to move her hands but they were handcuffed behind her back. Kim observed her surroundings and she saw that she was in a 4'x6' steel cage. She looked below. They were 35 feet in the air.

Ron and Agent Du, meanwhile, were asleep.

"Wake up, you two!" she insisted.

Both the males came to. And, like Kim, they too were handcuffed behind their backs as well.

"Aww man! You interrupted me during my dream of having the biggest Tex-Mex buffet the world has ever seen!" Ron complained.

"Correction, Ron! We aren't going to be the ones eating food!" Kim exclaimed.

"That's because you are about to become food for my sharkies!" an evil shadow cackled.

Kim turned her head and saw that it was none other than the infamous Ubel Drakken, with Shego and KB's One and Three.

"Ubel Drakken!" Kim uttered. "And his evil cohorts!"

"Under the authority of the USSN, I am going to place you under arrest for crimes against humanity!" Agent Du proclaimed.

"Acutally, Mr. Du...it's you who has been put under arrest!" Shego taunted him.

"You're right, Kim Possible!" Ubel replied, "You, Agent Du, and...ummm...I forgot his name again..."

"Hey! My name's Ron!" the blonde screamed.

"Whatever!" Ubel replied dismissively. "As I was saying, you, Agent Du, and the buffoon will not be able to stop my latest scheme! And as the dumb cheerleader that you are, you'll never guess what it is!"

Kim, incensed at his remarks about cheerleaders, countered with this, "You're going to utilize the element that you stole from the future into a machine of your that is capable of destroying entire national forests in a matter of minutes!"

"What?! How can you...an ordinary cheerleader...find out about my inglorious evil plan?"
Ubel exclaimed. "I thought cheerleaders were supposed to be on the opposite end of the intelligence spectrum!"

"It's always a cliche thing among villains, Drakken!" Kim taunted. "And by the way, I'm not a dumb cheerleader!"

Drakken growled, trying to compose himself. Once he did, his smile returned.

"That may be, Kim Possible, but you should at least know what death trap is in store for you and your friends!"

"Fine...blab away, Drakken!" Kim snarled.

Ubel took a deep breath and said, "As you can see, you are in a reinforced steel cage hovering above a shark pit!"

"Can't resist the classics, can you, Drakken!" Kim snarked.

"Shut it, teenaged foe!" Ubel sneered. "Henchmen, open up the glass covering to the shark pool and activate the timer!"

Two of the henchmen abided by the command of their boss. The glass covering opened up to the pool, which contained about seven great white sharks. The timer was set to 10 minutes.

"The bottom of the very cage will open beneath you once the timer gets to zero and you will fall into the pool! In less than ten minutes, you're going to become my sharkies' next meal!" Drakken grinned with satisfaction. He grabbed a pail of red meat and tossed in many chunks. The smell of blood attracted the sharks and they consumed the meat whole.

"Ironic enough that we're about to become the last meal..." Ron whimpered.

Ron was extremely scared of them while Kim was not. She had been in similar sitches like this before. Agent Du also was not scared.

"Come, Shego and Killer B's! We must get to the ship to fire up my machine of doom!" Ubel insisted.

Shego and the two Killer B's walked behind Drakken, all smiling with malicious intent.

Ubel came to the door and said with a triumphant grin, "Farewell, Kim Possible...and her friends. We won't meet again! Henchmen, guard the door and make sure they don't escape!"

Two more henchmen guarded the door with their electrostaffs to try and prevent an escape.

(8:57, 8:56, 8:55...)

"If anyone has a plan of trying to get out of here before we become shark chow, it would have to be now!" Ron panicked.

"The primary thing for us right now is to shut down Drakken's trap. And the control panel is way up there." Kim said. The control panel to the trap was on the second level of the trap room. "And to get past the henchmen!" She also slid out a hairpin and a special lipstick gadget from the back of her pants pocket and began to work on the handcuffs. She palmed the lipstick gadget to focus on the cuffs.

(4:24, 4:23, 4:22)

A familiar snort picked up Kim's ears. Popping out of the air grate was a familiar 100-pound hog and a naked mole rat.

"Oinky and Rufus!" Kim exclaimed. She broke free of her handcuffs and now was working on Ron's cuffs.

"Boo-yah! Told ya my Diablo-sauce-in-the-pocket scent technique worked like a charm!" Ron shouted.

This attracted the attention of the henchmen.

"Hey, get that pig and the rat!" one of the henchmen exclaimed. They tried to get them but instead they ran into each other.

"Go Oinky and Rufus! Go!" Ron exclaimed. He was now free of his handcuffs and Kim was now working on Agent Du's restraints.

The henchmen were all knocked out, including the one with the keys to the cage.

"Now, Oinky. Grab the keys from that guy's belt!" Kim said while pointing to the knocked-out henchmen with the keys attached to his belt.

(2:15, 2:14, 2:13...)

Oinky snorted and he, and Rufus, went to the knocked out henchman and took the keys from his belt. He held them between his teeth.

"Toss me the keys, Oinky!" Ron insisted. Kim has now freed Agent Du from his handcuffs.

Oinky went up to the cage and released the keys from his teeth, tossing them to Ron.

Ron managed to grab the keys, but he fumbled around through the bars trying to pick out which key goes to the cage and then dropped them into the shark tank below.

"Okay...that was my bad!" the sidekick chuckled nervously.

Rufus performed a facepalm while Oinky snorted in disappintment.

"A MAJOR my bad!" Kim exclaimed, groaning at the clumsiness of Ron. Then she came up with a plan B.

Running to the cage, she instructed the two animals "Oinky, Rufus! Go up to the second floor, and to the control panel. There should be a shutdown switch to that countdown and the button to close the shark tank!"

Rufus saluted and went top on Oinky's head. He squeaked and pointed to the control panel with his paw.

Oinky, with Rufus in tow, sprinted to the top of the second floor to where the control panel was.

"Hope you got something, Miss Possible..." Agent Du sighed.

"Indeed I do!" Kim grinned.

Kim got out her laser lipstick, knowing that it would come in hand in handy.

(1:10, 1:09, 1:08...)

Rufus and Oinky made it to the second floor. He was mesmerized by the dials and buttons on the control panel.
Kim then got on the Kimmunicator.

"Wade! Can you tell which button Rufus need to push on the control panel so that we don't get turned into shark chops?" Kim asked in a hurried manner.
