Chapter Text

The tri state area a peaceful seemingly normal metropolis filled with every day normal citizens going about their day.

From the normal every day school teachers educating their (mostly) listening students...scene of a class room filled with young children listening to their teacher drone on...one particular student a blond haired girl chatting with her friend while a small hamster peaked out of her back pack.

Than scene showed a different classroom with a young boy with a unusually triangle shaped head taking notes while sitting next to his green haired brother missing the girl sitting behind him giving a long sigh while giving him a dreamy gaze.

To a scene of yet another classroom filled with older teenage students where the roles were reversed and a teenage boy was giving a girl with pink hair a dreamy gaze.

To the normal every day bank tellers getting held up by the normal every day bank robbers using some kinda futuristic ray guns....wait hold on?!

Scene goes to a large bank in the midst of being held up with one robber gathering up the loot before turning to his partner, "Come on lets cheese it!" He called with his partner giving a wide grin, "thought you'd never ask!"

He called busting out of the front door running toward the get away car just as some police cruiser arrived..with one of the man holding up the ray gun and firing toward the tires...transforming them into cheese?!

Which in turn caused it to skin and crash into a pole, "HA! I always wondered why that crazy guy in Fair City used stuff like this now I know~" The man said with a laugh smirking toward his two partners as the car sped off, "And you guys said buying from that AD was just going to be a scam~"

He called out laughing as the others rolled their eyes, "Hey we ain't exactly big time super villains, and who heard of someone selling tech like this to common crooks." One his friends retorted back

"Maybe we should think subscribing then to that reward program we got offered" suggested the third man "maybe we would get some discounts and maybe an free ice cream"

the others turned to him

"free ice-cream?" one asked confused

"what? I have a subscription to my local supermarket and they offer free ice-cream at certain point"

"Dude...this is a super villain business what would they offer as flavors coco choking topped with literal cherry bombs."

The one in the back seat said with a nsort as the driver made a sharp right turn.

And promptly hit the breaks as a small pink dressing figure (alongside an even smaller yellow one) floated in the middle of the street

"I like cherry bombs and even cheese but you guys got over the top with the latest and wont have the former once in prison" A small blonde girl wearing a pink hero-like suit (with cape, G symbol in the center, skirt, socks and sneakers) called

 "Urg what is it with kids playing superhero these days!" Growled out the leader with annoyed look, "The spelling weirdo in Fair City, those supremo brats, the powder puff girls, now this!" He groaned out unrolling the window before pointing the ray at the girl, "Get out of the way kid, unless you want to become slice chedder!"

The man called out but the driver suddenly looked nervous, "uh bob.." he hissed quietly, "Hey! No real names!" the leader hissed out giving him a stern look, "we're wearing masks for a reason.."

he added but the driver look just more nervous, "sorry but it's about the ray.." he said with the leader throwing the floating girl a cocky smirk, "yeah the ray that will turn this little girl playing hero into a cheese statue if she doesn't.."

He was suddenly cut off by the man in the driver seat, "it doesn't work on living beings.." who blurted out hurriedly while Gretel who at first looked wary suddenly arched a brow smirking, "What?!"

The leader hissed sending the driver a glare who winced, "The instructions said it could turn anything into cheese!" he added with a hiss, "Um right....anyTHING...not anyone..." the one in the backseat said with a cough.

 He explained before looking uncomfortable, "And while I know we're criminals I have to admit i'm not exactly comfortable with exposing a young girl in her birthday suit.." he said and his two partners also shared grimaces at that, "Right...so maybe just give up now and save anyone any embarrassment."

the girl said crossing her arms, "And while we're at it maybe explain where you got that ray in the first place?" she added before blinking at the blunt in tandem answer, "internet.."

"No..seriously.." she said with a snort, "Actually we are being serious we got it on a online ad.." The one in a driver seat said with a shrug, "but afraid we can't explain anymore because got to go!"

He added hitting the car in reverse with the tires spinning...and spinning...spinning...but them quickly realizing they weren't going anywhere, "What the.."

The leader began to say only for the car to shake and float up as it was lifted up by...a hamster?! "nice try..." Said the Hamster with a deep voice

And next thing they know the hamster was raising their vehicle over its head and shaking it causing them to fall out

ZAP!!!

which caused the gun to fall too and shot at a building that began turning into cheese

"Whoops..." The Hamster said with a wide eyed look, "that might be my bad.." he admitted as Gretal and even the thieves looked wide eyed at this, "Huh...had more juice than I thought." The driver said not realizing it could turn entire buildings into cheese too.

And then they heard the screams of the people INSIDE the building, some trying to not fall through the holes others just confused and terrified about their situation

 "Oh no! Hamster quick!" Gretel called out as she quickly zoomed rushing toward the building with Hamster looking ready to follow but looked up at the car he was holding, "what about the crooks!?"

"Forget them! We can beat them up later, right now people need saving from a cheese building!" The girl cried out over her shoulder with the Hamster nodding before tossing the car to the side as he zoomed to help his friend, "Urg...drive...drive...drive!"

The leader bellow at the driver as soon as they rushed back into the car immediately as it's wheels hit the street, the driver wasting no time in punching it.

Meanwhile both flying girl and hamster move as faster as they could entering the "cheesed" building to rescue people

"It just me...or we getting into weirder and weirder situations since becoming heroes!" Hamster called out lifting up a man by his jacket before rushing him outside, "Ehh think it comes with the superhero territory.."

The girl cried back depositing two women down on the ground

"Well the mind controlled pigeons from last week were weird" she added after a moment of thought, "true..." Hamster said with a nod as they both zipped into the building.."Honestly who ever heard of a super villain using pigeons."

The Hamster added dryly with a eye roll....while at the other side of the world a man currently mind controlled into a pigeon controlling super villain suddenly sneezed allowing the young heroine wearing red black polka dot outfit to nail him in the face with a kick as he was distracted.

But back in the Tri State Area another pair of heroes were focused on saving people from cheese-doom! "But still a ray that turns things into cheese is still up there in weird...delicious...but weird." Hamster said as they deposited more saved citizens outside the building.

"Where you think someone like those three got it?" she added "I mean...im not genius but don't see any of them building something like that"

 "Well...they said they got it on a internet ad.." Hamster said with a frown as they deposited the last of the civilians from the building, "So I suppose we can start there.." He added before turning to the cheese building, "After we collect some cheese...you know as evidence."

he said and than added at her look, "Oh like you aren't curious about how it tastes!" He exclaimed crossing his arms with a huff.

Though as "evidence" was gathered for the investigation little did they know they weren't the only heroes experiencing crooks using advanced gadgets.

(The city of Townsville)

BOOM!!

Is under attack of a giant monster!!

A giant ant-like creature was ripping rooftops with is mandibles

 "Aaaaaaaah!" With many citizens running and screaming for their lives.

BOOM As the ant ripped off the top of one building before throwing it over head.

Though never fear citizens of Townsville...

Three streaks of light pink, green, and blue arrived slamming into the monster..

For the Powerpuff Girls are here!

 "Ugg another bug? this is like the third one this month!" complained Buttercup

 "It is a concerning pattern." Agreed Blossom with a frown, "Why? We fight giant monsters plenty of times?" Bubbles question dodging a snap from the mandibles, "Yes but this ant, the praying mantis last time, and the grasshopper that started all of this.."

Blossom flew back frowning, "Something's off about them.."she said before letting loose some of her ice breath

The bug chriped in anger as it began shooting some lighting attack from its antenna

"About them or about..." Buttecup began but another voice entered the fray

"never fear the princess is here!!!"

the three Puffs sighed in irritation as Princess Morbocks (dressed in a gold battle suit) flew up to them

"Urrrrg seriously! Why do you keep showing up?!" Buttercup exclaimed out in frustration

"well someone need to be a true hero and stop the monster since you three have been failing so much" said Princess with a smirk "Although maybe if I become the leader of the powerpuff girls we could help fix..whatever issue you guys are having" she snicker

 This prompted glares from the Puffs, "For the last time princess you aren't going to be Powerpuff much less our leader!" Blossom snapped pointing out to Princess sternly, "And don't think we aren't suspicious of this whole hero act for glory and fame either!" Buttercup added in with her own scowl

 "oh?" the rich girl simply raised an eyebrow "you think so? ok then prove it" she said "Im going to remain just here without moving and let you three take care of that bug"

 "After all you three have been doing such a great job lately, i'm sure this will be no problem for you~" Princess added with a taunting smirk emphasized by the roar of the bug and loud explosion as he shot lightning into some buildings.

BOOM

 "Grrr I really want to punch her!" Buttercup called

"Forget about her, we need to focus on the bug" said Blossom as the trio turned around to face on the monster...not noticing a wrist blaster deploying from Princess and shooting a red light on them

"I know that brainy" scoffed the tomboy puff "I dont need you to remind me what we doing!"

 "I'm just trying to help us stay focused!" Blossom snipped back hating that Buttercup always had to start a fight with her,"I can stay focused just fine without you telling me what to do!" Buttercup snapped back.

"Girls please, can we deal with the mean bug instead of fighting!" Bubbles plead out before her eyes widen, "Look out!" Than pushed her sisters out of the way of a lightning blast that nearly hit them, "Woah! Okay squash first, argue later!"

Buttercup called with a blink

 "thats what I was trying to say" scoffed Blossom "try listening for once" she called before rushing against the monster

 And as the Puff rushed to face the ant menace Princess floated back with a cocky smirk, "honestly this is so easy it's almost sad." she said with a chuckle

 She glanced at her ray

"it was a bit expensive..but seeing them like this makes every cent worth" she cracked as she pointed at the girls fighting the monster and shot again

 While the girls themselves were distracted with a shared heat beam attack aimed at the ants eyes, missing Princess own ray hitting Buttercup and Blossom.

 "Ugg this is not working" called Buttercup as the creature looked annoyed "lets go punch it!"

"patience Buttercup" called Blossom "heat and bugs dont mix so we only need to keep pressing"

 "Patience smatience! It's a bug all we need to do is squash it!" Buttercup snapped with a frustrated growl

 "Buttercup please for once can you not act like a caveman and just thing things!" yelled Blossom

 "Hey who are you calling a caveman!"

 "girls?" Bubbles asked as her sisters stopped attacking the bug

"the one green beast that yell a lot and act like one!" yelled Blossom

 "Well at least this caveman gets the job done!" Buttercup snapped glaring at her sister, "instead of wasting time yapping her mouth!"

 "Excuse me?!!!" Blossom got to Buttercup´s face "Im your leader Buttercup and you will talk to me with respect!"

 And as the two sisters were arguing distracted as Bubbles look worried... the ant monster made it move.

 screech!!!

ZAP!!!

And that was blasting the trio to crisps

 "coff...tried...to tell you.." Bubbles said covered in black smoke and soot while giving a cough with her sisters little better as they found themselves falling to the ground while Princess was laughing her butt off, "HEhahahahah~ Oh yeah you're really showing me how it's done!"

 She then pull out another (different blaster)

"now let me show you how is done!" she called before flying at great speed against the bug

 And with a cackle she fired the blaster as the ant...which seemed to let out a horrific pain filled screech.

 "thats right bug, go away!" called the princess with a dramatic loud tone "this town is under the royal protection of The Princess!!" she called shooting some more

 The bug screeched firing lightning at Princess who merely dodged with a haughty smirk.

 on the street the three puffs raised from the crater they made at crashing...only to see Princess dominating the bug; who then began running away back to the sea

 "Are...you....kidding me!" Buttercup bellowed out with a twitching brow, "That's the third time, a bug kicked our butt and let the spoiled brat save the day!"

 "maybe if SOMEONE just listen and followed the plan this wouldn't happen...again!" said Blossom

 And once again Blossom and Buttercup started to argue while Bubble tried and failed to play peacemaker wondering why this kept happening.

Unaware that the answer was shooting the puffs a smug smirk. It really was amazing what a few giant sized sugar cubes plus a ray gun that made people argue could accomplish ~ Princess thought smugly to herself holding back a laugh.

 The money she expended on that..how was called...something-inator? bah whatever...all was worthy at the end...soon all Townsville will be calling her name as the only true heroine in town!

 And the Powerpuff Girls would be yesterday's trashy news! She thought while heading down to meet her no doubt adoring public.

 (In an island somewhere in the middle of the sea)

Kim Possible might be the girl that could do anything...but apparently one of those things wasnt make sure his friend/partner (somehow) make some old billionaire man to give a try on villainy...nor to stop worrying about his new haircut (again..for some reason)

 PEW
PEW
PEW

"Ron less worrying about your hair, more worrying about the lasers!"

 "Sorry KP cant lose the style!" cried the blonde haired boy as he was fighting against the muscled son of said evil old man...well could it be called fighting when the only thing you were doing was mess with each other´s hair?

"Seriously!" Kim exclaimed out in frustration back flipping from a laser blast, "I feel your pain my dear..." The mastermind behind the plot to drain Europe power grid (this time on purpose) Señor Senior, Senior spoke up on the second floor holding a book title the big book of evil as he gave a sigh frowning at his sons direction.

"My enjoyment of this new hobby of villainy aside I'm hoping this will be the thing to help my son take things a bit more seriously." He remarked before adding with a smile, "I've actually already made some new friends by joining a chat group for villainous parents."

"Villains have a chat group...for parents?" exclaimed Kim quite surprised

"Oh yes, when I bought and subscribed to Evil inc they gave me a nice eldery discount plus a nice villains beginner kit plus an invite for the chat group" Señor Senior said with a smile "let me tell you even with my age I learned new things listening to everyone"

The man began to tick off his fingers while Kim continue to dodge laser fire.

"Puma Loco gave wonderful advice about signs to look out for if your son was developing heroic tendencies, Lady Gobbler shared not only a delicious tapa's recipe but advice on keeping your child focus on family legacy while also warning to be extra cautious of who my son might romantically pursue."

Senior rubbed his chin, "A gentleman calling himself Mr. Boss emphasize the importance of keeping a balance between your villainous work and family." He than added, "a man going by simply Father came across as bit harsh emphasizing the need for keeping your child under control."

Kim frown while dodging the lasers a part of her curious and wondering if this information could be important, "Kid Potato was quite welcoming to a newcomer in villainy and said I should treasure a super villainy career with my son while proudly explaining how his own son had follow in his footsteps, acting as a super villain based in a Fair City."

"And I said there is no way Im going for a meat theme outfit dad" called Senior Jr from his..battle "I agree with your hoobies but i draw the line on trying any costume!"

"A part of me still thinks there's still potential in taking inspiration from mask wrestling, but I respect your point my son!" Was Señor Senior returned call before adding with a shrug toward Kim Possible who couldn't help even with dodging laser fire this was turning into one of her most surreal mission yet, "admittedly the costume look probably goes against our own style.."

Senior said before rubbing his chin, "now where was I...ah yes.." he snapped his finger's, "One of the more successful members of the chat as well as the CEO of evil inc themselves both offered wonderful advice and not just parenting."

He added with a smirk, "Mr. Doofenshmirtz for example advise making your child's interests feel heard while sharing such wonderful trap designs."

At those words a section of the floor glowed and Kim found herself experiencing a electric shock, "Urgg!" She yelled out in pain as Senior smirk

"for example, always have one part of your floor with a...how he said it? oh yes! shocking surprise" said the the elder man with a smirk as Kim fell on the floor paralized

"KP!" called Ron in worry

 Ron seeing Kims distressed situation for the first time since getting his new hair cut forgot about his new dew to rush toward his friend's sid, "well that's just rude.." Junior huffed out as the blonde boy left their scuffle without a word but arched a brow as he started to dodge laser fire while shouting out, "Hang on KP!"

Ron shouted as a another section of the floor open up, "and now we come to the advice offered by someone who I've learned is one of the most successful villains in the world, ruling a entire country while further expanding their influence across all of Asia."

Senior called out with a smirk that proclamation getting Team Possible attention despite their situation and Kim gritting her teeth in pain on the floor, "They provided excellent advice in making sure your child is trained and prepare to handle the super villain life style." He gave a amused chuckle, "and wonderful words of wisdom in managing their growing egos as well."

He said ignoring Junior affronted look and mutter of not having a ego, "but explained not only the importance of not only acquiring dependable minions and followers.." a platform rose from the section of floor that open up, "but was kind enough to loan me one of his own for my first villainous scheme ~"

 From the platform emerged a slim and slender humanoid with knee-long, lush, smooth and dark magenta hair that is bound into a pony tail with a -blue ribbon. She had vanilla skin, pointy ears and fangs that protrude from her mouth. Her eyes had magenta colored irises and long, accentuated lashes. she was dressed in a forget-me-not-blue, short-sleeve ladie's shirt with white collar; a short, bell-shaped and white skirt and knee-high, blue and shimmy ladie's boots.

Oh and she had a BIG sword on hands

"Greetings.." she said at first with a soft tone, "my name is Smoke and I have been sent here.." she suddenly exclaimed out with great force, "TO BREAK EVERY BONE IN YIUR MISERABLE BODIES!" Before than smiling brightly, "so let us have a good time yes, teehee~"

 Ron blinked

"Ok...on one hand..sexy babe..on another villain...so..Im not sure if act scared or excited" he said Honestly...

clank!!!

And the sword suddenly was embedded in front of him...and he felt his shirt being cut in half...

"Ok both!!! definitely both!!!"

 "LET US BATTLE!" Was the cry from Smoke as she lunged toward with a high kick

"Yikes!!!" Ron cried as he leaped out the way literal being missed by a hair

 "Can't we talk about this!?" He exclaimed out as the girl chased after him swinging her blade, "No talk, ONLY BRUTAL CARNAGE!" Was Smokes roared out reply.

"Ron! Urg..hang on.." Kim grunted in pain still feeling tingle from the electric shock with her body partially paralyzed but trying to power through it as she pushed herself up.

 "Ok, main hero trapped, sidekick busy" "HEY! "whats next..." he pulled out a small book tittle...my first evil plan... "Oh yes the monologue and show off the next phase of plan"

"next phase?" called Kim confused

"Oh nice! thats a question for me to go into monologue thanks" said the old man with a smile "ehem yes Kim Possible, you see, stealing all the electricity of the continent is just phase one of my plan" he called up "Now If Europe wants its power back they would have to buy MY electricity" he pushed a button on a remote control and a platform began raising over the island "behold, the static generator inator!!!"

Kim have seen some weird and odd things..but a giant fluffy platform with what looked like a giant sock over it..was probably top 5

"This machine can create enough static power to feed an entire city" Senior turned to Kim "and once all the power of Europe is gone, I will rent that power per hour to any city in need of it!"

 "He's stealing power and making a profit, that is evil!" Ron shouted out but let out a yelp as he ducked a sword slice from Smoke who let out a giggle at his terrified yells most amusing, "Thank you young man." Senior said with a smug smirk, "As first evil schemes go, i'm rather proud of it."

 "Ugg you shouldn't" groaned Kim "you really need to think on doing something else for a hobby!"

 "And why would I do that?" Senior asked with a evil smirk,"after all I haven't had so much fun in years~" he added before giving a evil laugh

 "Well he has evil laughter down for sure!!" called Ron still escaping from the sword woman behind him

 "Urg...yeah...as first timers go not bad." Kim admitted with a grunt of pain as she stood up but with a determined glare, "but allow me to give you my own piece of advice for a newbie in the game."

 "Oh? do tell, to be honest I do need all the advise I can acquire" said the man in honest tone

Prompting a slight arched brow from Kim because the Seniors were certainly a bit different behavior wise from her usual villains, but now wasn't the time to dwell on it, "simple a villain should never expect a hero to call it quits so easily!"

Blink

Blink

"Ohh actually think thats the chapter I'm on in the book" said the old man as he opened the book again "so..this is the part where you show off some secret power, tool or ally to help you escape right?"

"You're learning fast.." Kim said with a smirk as she threw her kimmunicator toward the running Ron, "Ron get Wade online i'll keep the sword lady busy!" Kim shouted out as she powered through the earlier pain and aimed a high kick at Smoke that was blocked by the flat end of her large blade, "Tee hee, how adorable you think you can fight me~"

Smoke said with a taunting smirk and girlish giggle

"I dont know, you think you can fight with that overcompensating sword? also that outfit its to 90´s" added the cheerleader

This got a ticked look from Smoke, "I shall teach you to mock a warrior of the Night Master!" she exclaimed as Kim landed in front of her after kicking back off the sword entering a guarded stance a part of her noting that name down, "BY SLICING YOU INTO TINY BITS!" Smoke exclaimed lunging forward with a blood thirsty expression.

Kim put her own abilities to work.

Even when she was a bit numb after being shocked she still was able to evade the sword attacks (noticing that this girl must be quite strong to wild such a weapon like it didnt weight)

Left, right, down, jump!

Counter kick, punch, block!

"You are quite skilled." Smoke noted as Kim dodge a sword stab, "could say the same." Kim said with a wary look as truthfully she wasn't lying whoever this girl...Smoke..was she was good...right up there with Shego at the least.

She thought lashing out with a kick that Smoke easily caught in hand with a amused smirk, "BUT NOT SKILL ENOUGH!" She exclaimed as Kim suddenly found herself twisted around and thrown across the room landing roughly with a grunt as she rolled on the ground with Smoke exploiting the opening to launch into the air as she aimed a kick down at Kim's head.

Thumb!!

Fortunately the red head was able to roll away from the attack, her muscles slowly seems to be recovering

"Sorry but not going down so easily!" Kim called entering a crouch with a defiant glare toward Smoke who smirked, "Good makes crushing you all the more fun, tee hee~" she stated ending in a girlish giggle before letting out a battle cry as she charged toward Kim who got ready to reengage the fight hoping Ron and Wade could pull through in the mean time.

Speaking of, "Wade come on man we could really use some help here!" Ron called into the kimmunicator trying to head to static generator inator while trying to dodge a new barrage of laser fire!

"Hey Ron" the chubby tech boy of team Possible greeted "Oh? finally decided to return to your normal style?" he asked noticing Ron´s hair not longer..in style

"Huh? NO NOT THE HAIR!" Ron cried his eyes going up to his head suddenly realized that all of this had lead to his styled look losing it's luster, "Duck!" Before a cry from his the floor sounded out causing Ron who had a hand in his hair blink but eyes widen doing just that with a laser blast missing by a moment, "Woah...way to close.." Ron said as a small pink form ran in front of his face causing him to blink, "thanks Rufus!"

Ron said with a bright smile picking up his friend who merely shot him a annoyed look, "I'm getting the feeling you're mad at me.." he stated more than asked with a wince remembering how he treated Rufus earlier, "Duh!"

"Look how about I invite you to all you can eat in the buen Nacho later when we save the world and not in danger of getting shot?" proposed Ron evading another blast

"Nacho! Extra Cheesy!" Rufus cried out in celebration eager for that as Ron dodged the laser fire heading to the weird sock device, "that's my buddy!" Ron said with a smile before looking back at the kimmunicator in his hand, "how we looking Wade?!"

"well good news it seems this has a quite simple system, it has basic digital defenses so I should be able to break in and deactivate this machine" said the boy..but his tone...

"Im detecting a but" said Ron

"well, the electricity this Senior is stealing actually seems to be gathered in this machine too..so the moment I deactivate it would mean all that energy will...well...come out"

"And that's bad?" Ron asked with a wince already having a good guess at the answer, "Considering it's energy from all of Europe VERY bad." Wade stated bluntly with a serious look, "it's likely to fry everything and everyone on the island extra crispy."

He said taping at his computer, "Well is there a way to let it come out without the shocking us part?!" Ron asked before jumping back with a yelp after a laser almost hit his foot.

 "Umm could try redirect the energy to a safer outlet as sending it back would fry electric towers and systems back in mainland" Wade began working "try connect the communicator to the mainframe of that machine so can have better access"

 "you got it!" Ron said before yelping at another laser blast, "just need to get past the lasers first!"

 "well without worrying about that haircut now maybe you can focus on that" added Wade

 "Ah come on man don't rub it in!" Ron groaned out trying to get to the inator while Kim continued her fight with Smoke in the background.

"Stop moving and let me cut you into pieces!" the alien looking girl declared as she tried time and time again to hit Kim with her sword

"Sorry but I prefer all my pieces attached." Kim said with a wary smirk, "and if you don't mind me asking what's your deal? You a tsundere magical girl or something?" She asked with a teasing smirk well aware if certain trope terms and like thanks to her cousin Larry.

"Grrr I'm a warrior of the night!" yelled the girl "And my outfit its top notch for your information!!"

 "Please, I think even smarty mart has better clothes in their discount bin." Kim scoffed launching a punch that was dodge before dodging Smoke's own punch.

"Also warrior of the night?" Kim repeated with a blink arching a brow, "now you're just trying to be edgy.."

she said back flipping from another slice, "but I suppose it's better than worker of the night." she found herself muttering out causing Smoke to flush and growl angrily at what the teen heroine was implying.

 "Grrr I will show you!" Smoke growled before pulling out a pink glowing dice

 "What's that suppose to do? going to bore me with one of those fantasy board games my cousin likes so much?" Kim asked arching a brow

 "Oh the games haven't started yet!" called Smoke throwing the dice up

A flash of light emerged from it that soon took form and a figure landed between the two girls

a monster with oval face, his mouth has 8 tentacles as if resembling jellyfish and has the appearance of an android with pincers for hand

 "What the heck is that?!" Kim shouted out with a expression that was both grossed out and actually shocked at it's sudden appearance from what looked like a toy and the creature itself.

"Like it? my master paid a good amount of money to get me some new friends to play with." said Smoke "now...DESTROY HER!!!!"

 At that the monster let out a high pitched roar before charging forward

SCREEEEEEE

"Woah!"

With Kim quickly getting on the move realizing things just got a bit more complicated, she only hoped Ron and Wade were having better luck on their end.

As she dodge the charge by leaping to the right with the creature slamming into the wall but quickly picking itself up to charge after her.

 (With Ron)

"Ok..ok we can do this" Ron told to himself as he had managed to reach the bottom of the machine after evading many lasers and even trap doors

 Seriously for a guy new to the villain game Senior had traps to spare, when the heck did he have the time to install all of this?!

A part of him couldn't help but wonder as he looked at the Kimmunicator, "you ready Wade?" He asked with the genius giving a nod, "ready, just hook up the kimmunicator and leave the rest to me."

Wade said cracking his knuckles while mentally preparing himself.

"Ok lets see what we have here" said the tech boy of team possible as it began hacking the system

"there you are!" Ron turned to see Senor Senior Jr. rushing at him "you and I are not finish!"

 Before than pausing, "Also what has happen to your hair, it is no longer so stylish like before?" Junior remarked for a moment prompting a groan from Ron, "Does everybody have to keep rubbing it in!"

 "Yes!" Wade and Rufus called out at the same time

 "Whatever, less fabulous looks aside I can not let you stop my father's first evil scheme." Junior said sternly to Ron, "Dude come on you can't not be into the whole villain thing too!" Ron exclaimed out stepping in front of the Kimmunicator to block it from view while harnessing his experience as the distraction.

"Admittedly it really isn't my first choice of hobby.." Junior remarked with a shrug, "but i've rarely seen father so committed or invested in something, it's really brought a extra prep to his step."

Junior committed with a smile, "Plus I must admit i've made some interesting online acquaintances on the nerfarious net that have proven most enjoyable to talk to."

He frowned, "So as annoying as father's lecturing in proper villainy will likely be, i'm afraid that I must insist that his scheme goes undisturbed please."

 "ugg ok, lesson for new villains, heroes like me always are going to stop you" said Ron take a fight position "cause that's what we do!"

 "Than let our battle be legendary no.." Junior replied with a nod before lunging forward with a battle cry with Ron doing the same.

"AAAAAAH!

"AHHHH!"

Smack
smack
smack

"Ow..quit it!"

"No, you are no match for me!"

Before meeting each other in a....epic slap fight? Yes Ron and Junior were picking up where they left off earlier holding out their arms while slapping against each others hands prompting a face palm from Rufus in Ron's pocket at the sight of the "legendary battle".

Though in the meantime Wade was making good use of the distraction to hack into the machines systems' "Whoever built this was good.." He muttered to himself with a grimace because despite the machines unorthodox appearance it was impressive....plus the situation had him nervous.

While Ron was avoiding the traps he'd given him a quick summary of the situation including how Senior had apparently out sourced a minion in some in Ron's words hot scary alien demon girl called Smoke...who had apparently named dropped someone called Night Master.

That...was actually a moniker he was aware of...and had been keeping his friends in the dark about....but knowing Kim after this mission she'd want answers...and he was going to have a lot to explain.

"But for now...lets see..."

Kim evaded the claws of the monster and tried to kicking him only for it to grab her by the leg

"Ok this is a lot of energy, not sure can send it somewhere without causing damage"

The monster made a turn and throw Kim against a wall

"umm maybe...maybe getting rid of it its the best plan" Wade continued as he began hacking other systems of the island "those laser canon looks sturdy so they should be able to withstand all this power"

 Kim however managed to flip mid air and land with her feet against the wall side ways with her kicking off a moment later to launch back and give a high kick to the monsters face with it stumbling back somewhat before screeching and swinging it's arm toward Kim.

 The red head managed to slip between its legs and rushed against Smoke...maybe taking out the one that brought that thing will also send it back.

 However Smoke simply smirked widely as she met Kim attack by using her arm to block a chop from Kim arms, "Ah is my pet boring you~" she asked mockingly, "THAN LET ME MAKE THINGS MORE INTERESTING FOR YOU!" she exclaimed out again lashing out with the blade held in her right hand just as the creature was charging toward them with Kim leaping up to dodge the slice causing Smoke to miss and bisect the creature in half instead.

 SCREEEESH

Although instead of dying or disappearing, it began to fragment apart into dozens of worm-like bugs

"Urg yew! okay that is just gross!" Kim who's eyes had widen at the sight of this gagged wondering what kinda mad scientist had dream up this thing.

skitter! skitter! skitter!

Followed by wondering is someone had a bug spray at had as the bugs began crawling...OVER HER!!!

"ARGG! GET THEM OFF! GET THEM OFF!" Kim actually herself freaking out with a nauseous expression this was probably one of the grossest things to ever happen to her, and she personally didn't want to find out first hand what kinda diseases these things were carrying!

"hehehehe oh don't worry princess...allow me to help you!" called Smoke sword on the ready

Kim's eyes barely had time to wide as Smoke leaped up with a battle cry before bringing her blade down toward Kim who struggled to move with all the bugs piling on her and restraining her.

"Ok got it!" Wade called in the communicator "sorry but everyone will feel a little shock" he added pushing a lat command.

energy in the machine suddenly began leaving traveling down the circuits and systems of the island, and as he said everyone got quite the shock.

"Woah! " Ron shouted out spazzing out a bit as his hair suddenly rose up into spikes...the same with Junior, "urg ow! That stings!" he called, "Urg...that's quite a unpleasant shock.."

Senior said with a grimace leaning against the rail having been watching everything...and was now watching as Smoke suddenly jerk mid air falling over mid attack from the sudden shock while all the bug creatures on Kim started to jerk and fall off her.

"Ok..now..." with another command every laser canon and turret on the island turned up and began charging up "lights on I suppose

FLASH!!!!

And every single one of them shoot a powerful beam of electricity into the air

And as it did the beam of energy launched toward and hit the clouds...a large dark portal open up high in mid air at the same time.

Although the heroes on the island didn't see it, as some of the energy enter through it..another began filling the clouds with electricity making the sky to darken.

With thunder soon booming out along with some lightning and the next thing everyone knew...rain started to pour down, "What's with the freaky weather?" Ron asked with a groan before turning to the kimmunicator at Wade's voice, "side effect of sending that much electrical energy into the air.."

soon lights on the island also went out

"another is no power left on the island" he added

"Well...I suppose this marks my first defeat as a villain than." Señor Senior, Senior remarked with a blink in the darkness sighing out, "still as first attempts go I believe I did rather well, wouldn't you all agree?"

He asked his son, foes, and borrowed minion.

"ehhh 9 out of 10" said Ron.

"Ugg I cant beleive this" groaned Kim in frustration

"so..thats it?" asked Smoke "Know i'm getting paid whether you win or lose"

"Of course, just because i'm a villain now doesn't mean i'm a cheep stake who cheats a employees earned wage." Senor said with a smirk, "Good.." Smoke said getting up to sheath her sword and brush the dirt off her, "Still this was amusing I suppose."

She mused out loud holding up her dice like device again before holding it out to the bugs which vanished in a glow apparently back into the cube.

"But don't think would be so easy next time" she scoffed at Kim "next time you will join my friends inside the cube" she smiled evilly

 "What makes you think there's going to be a next time?" Kim asked with a annoyed scowl at the threat, "you all know you're going to prison right?" she said as Senior and Junior grouped together on the second floor balcony with Smoke simply scoffing as smirked at Kim, "Please as any prison could hold me, or WITHSTAND THE POWER OF THE NIGHT MASTER!"

She exclaimed out again with a haughty giggle, "indeed and the advantages of rich aside.." Senior smirked toward Team Possible, "I believe this is the part where we make our dramatic escapes no~" He asked rhetorically in amusement.

Before a metallic pod rose up and encased both him and his son, "Fare well, Kimberly Anne Possible, and her friend with such interesting ideas~ Till next time, I thank you again for this new lease on life!" Senor called with his best evil laugh as the pod rocketed up into the sky.

 "well..points for the laugh i suppose" said Ron

Kim turned to Smoke only for a glowing portal to open under her and the alien looking girl to wave a goodby as she disappeared into it.

"O-kay..." Kim sighed out rubbing her face, 'What..the heck was that?!" She exclaimed out in frustration, "What do you mean?" Ron asked with a blink, "I mean this escalated like crazy!"

Kim exclaimed out throwing her hands up in the air, "Suddenly the guy we talked to about conserving energy is going full super villain, and thanks again for giving him the idea.." she said and added with a annoyed glare prompting a sheepish look from Ron, "Than suddenly he's talking about online villain chat rooms for parents, mentioning something called Evil Inc, pulled a device that can create static power to ransom off power, and that minion he apparently borrowed.."

here Kim did finger quotes on the word borrowed, "Hate to say it, but that magical girl wannabe could give Shego a run for her money skill wise, and probably has her beat physical strength wise.."

she added crossing her arms, 'than the girl pulls out some kinda bug mutant out of nowhere, and.."

she groaned groan rubbing her face, "this mission has just been a crazy." she sighed out

"yeah I mean...he almost sounds like there is some..evil company or something like that selling machines to villains" scoffed Ron

 "Plus did you hear what Senior said, some super villain ruling Japan?" Ron laughed a bit, "I mean what conspiracy website did he find?"

He asked as Kim frowned recalling that mention and how Smoke had mentioned someone called the Night Master several times, "Um...actually."

But both of them blinked as they heard Wade's voice speak out from the Kimmunicator in Ron's hands...the boy looking rather guilty and nervous, "About that...and the whole evil company that sells to super villains.."

Wade rubbed his neck, "There's....some things you guys should probably know."

Scene pans out showing the island in full before a loud shout echos out sending birds flying off.

"WHAT!"

Chapter Text

He asked as Kim frowned recalling that mention and how Smoke had mentioned someone called the Night Master several times, "Um...actually."

But both of them blinked as they heard Wade's voice speak out from the Kimmunicator in Ron's hands...the boy looking rather guilty and nervous, "About that...and the whole evil company that sells to super villains.."

Wade rubbed his neck, "There's....some things you guys should probably know."

Scene pans out showing the island in full before a loud shout echos out sending birds flying off.

"WHAT!"

 (Tokyo, Japan)

As this was happening at the same time across the planet in Tokyo Japan sat a Eastern style palace resting on the mountain location that was once the sight the Yamanouchi Ninja School before it's fall more than a decade ago.

And within these walls a dark powerful force sat in a foyer staring into a fire place filled with green flames as a portal formed behind them depositing the form of Smoke, "So tell me.." Spoke the showy silhouette sitting in the chair their eyes casting a evil red glow, "Does Miss Possible, live up to her legend?"

They questioned in a echoing chilling voice.

"Ummm she is...adequate i suppose" said Smoke as she combed her hair and dusted off her skirt "I might maybe see whats the appeal but still too young" she said as she began walking towards the figure with an extra sway of her hips

"Young yes, but her potential isn't to be underestimated.." The figure intone staring into the flames, "What she lacks in supernatural abilities she makes up for in both skill and a powerful spirit." they stated their eyes narrowing at the flames, "Qualities that are not to be taken lightly.."

They said with a low hum, "I've learned not to underestimate my enemies and sooner or later Kim Possible will stand against me." they said seeming to scowl within the shadows, "the fact that her most loyal companion possesses the mystical monkey power itself makes this destiny."

They explained before scoffing out, "It's only a matter of time until what rats survived the fall of Yamanouchi attempt to make contact and train the buffoon into a warrior to oppose me."

"him? oh please my lord that buffoon only has the monkey in the attitude" she said in purring tone as she laid against the chair looking at the figure in adoration (while tying to push her chest a bit more notable) and those old ninjas are still hiding and trembling at your name"

 "A cowardly rats bite can still be deadly to the unaware Smoke." The figure said solemnly looking into the flames, "And i've learned first hand just because one is buffoon does not mean they can't surprise you."

He said with a growl his mind going to a certain panda...he was sure with his knowledge...his preparation...victory was his...so how...the shadowy silhouette gripped their chairs arm rests tighter, "I've gained so much since that set back....over 1500 years trapped in limbo...and now here I stand Japan under my domain...with my influence growing across Asia."

they let out a growl, "but we can still accomplish so much more! This era is rife with villainy and ambition, but it's also filled with noble hearted fools who stand in the way of evil."

"umm but you wont have issues with them" purred the girl now laying on an armrest trying to "show" her chest a bit more "after all there is no one as evil, powerful and smart like you"

 "Thank you my dear, always good to have such a loyal minion who feeds my ego." the silhouetted figure intoned patting her on the head prompting a wide smile from Smoke, "However, I know not to underestimate my enemies.."

The figure said disappearing from the chair only to reappear standing in front of the green flamed fire place causing Smoke to fall over into the chair with a pout, "And truthfully.." The figure gave a menacing grin, "I welcome the challenge of capable heroes that oppose me..." The figure said looking over to Smoke, "After all where's the fun in being evil without a worthy opponent to scheme against or crush~"

 "hehehe but before my lord who can oppose us" purred the girl again this time laying on the chair with her legs up almost trying to get her skirt to fall.

"my father? no one..you? any pretty boy probably" another voice sounded making Smoke to scoff "also get off that chair, we just had it clean"

 "Ah joy masters pity case.." Smoke muttered in a low annoyed tone at the interruption as she turned her head to see the figure of slender and athletic Japanese girl about 16 years old with shoulder-length shiny black hair, black, narrow and slightly slanted black eyes. She was wearing a red headband in her hair and was currently wearing a black shinobi shōzoku as she gave Smoke a annoyed look.

"Be careful of how you speak to me Smoke, my father and I own leniency only goes so far."

 "Oh im so scared" mocked the warrior "a girl in her pjs is so horrible"

 The girls eyes narrowed, "simply name the time and place and I will remind you why a daughter of the Night Master is indeed something to fear." She said entering a battle stance, "Ohh, i'd be delighted to show the master why he deserves a true heir to his lineage."

Smoke said leaping up her hand going to her blade, "at least the younger pity case has power to offer in the Night Master service." she added with a sneer.

 Yori narrowed her eyes

"I dont need powers to show my father my value" she called "he knows my skill and loyalty is second to none!" she crossed her arms "while your main skill might be just be an eye candy with many pets"

 "This arm candy and her pets have served the Night Masters cause far more than you ever have." Smoke huffed back,"and I consider being masters arm candy a honor~" she added with a giggle

 "yeah...candy corn" scoffed Yori "just a lot of stuff that no one want"

 "Oh that is.." Smoke retorted was cut off by the roaring reply from the third figure in the room, "ENOUGH!" Causing both Smoke and Yori to flinch before turning and bowing to the figure of the silhouette, "as amusing as this is I will not have my time wasted with your petty squabbles am I understood?"

Spoke the figure as it stepped out into the light of the fire place revealing a very tall and slim, anthropomorphic bat. His fur on his face is black and pale grey (almost white), the pale fur forming the resemblance of a skull in shape. He had red markings around his eyes that form the silhouettes of attacking hawks. His ears were huge, pointy and black and they always seem stand up straight.

He possessed a long grey-golden moustache and a long, pointy and grey-golden chin goatee. His eyes were normally black, but were currently glowing red (signifying his annoyance).

His eyebrows were grey-golden in colour, thin and long, protruding far from his face. His fingers are pointed, as if they have claws. His teeth were beige-grey and sharp, and his lower fangs could be seen protruding.

He was wearing a black and red cape with a high, erect collar, something reminiscent of famous Count Dracula. As well as a floor-long black garment, "Yes master" "Forgive me father.."

Answered Yori and Smoke in turn to the feared figure of the supernatural world and underworld society the conqueror of Japan...the Night Master, "Good.."

The Night Master said with a pleased nod the red glow in his eyes fading away returning them to their usual black, "Now than.."

He was cut off by another figure entering the room, "Master i've got your food ready it's one of my specialties." Called out the figure of a large, muscular man with shoulder-length black hair, brown eyes, and a distinctive square chin. He also possessed thick black eyebrows and slender, yet muscular build and was currently wearing a chef outfit, "Ah Kronk yes thank you.."

Night Master said with a sigh as the man entered carrying a covered serving tray

 "Now I know you like blood and all so i tried to keep the meat inside the empanadas as medium-raw as i could without risking leaving the exterior soft and add some extra cheese inside"

 "Hmm sounds delicious.." The Night Master said with a pleased hum as his minion lifted the serving tray revealing the empanadas on the platter with him eagerly sampling one before swallowing, "And did the device that we acquired from Doofenshmirtz complete it's task?"

He asked with a arched brow with Kronk nodding, "yep, and while didn't get all the energy the Senors stole, we still have a continent worth of stolen energy." He reported with his master grinning menacingly ,"excellent~ that's one piece of the puzzle ready, we simply need to retrieve the other before putting that particular plot in action~"

 "hehehe Im glad i was able to fulfill your orders master" purred Smoke "you know anything you ask me I will do" she added flashing her eyelashes

 With Yori rolling her eyes muttering some rather unflattering things about hussy gold diggers under her breath with Smoke shooting her a glare, "Hmm yes of course your loyalty has never been in doubt Smoke."

The Night Master said swallowing another empanada, "that being said tell me you three is there any new information you'd like to report."

He asked with a arched brow, "Well just got a call from Syndrome and he's saying that the Omnidroid is coming along nicely and is confidant it will be ready and waiting when it's time for Operation: Dragon Hurricane."

 At the mention of that name the girls scoffed

"I dont know why you keep humoring that man child with that toy of his" grunted Smoke with a small frown thinking of that egocentric fool, "that toy of his has already killed a impressive number of supers through it's field tests, and it's only grown more deadly with each upgrade."

The Night Master explained looking over to her, "once it's ready it will serve as a rather excellent tool in our arsenal for our strike against reptilian fools." He said with a dark grin, "and Syndrome own faults make it all the more easy to pull his strings~"

"and once his usefulness is over..do we get rid of him?" asked Yori with a frown as truthfully their opinion on Syndrome was one of the few things Smoke and her could agree on finding the man quite unpleasant, "I know how Syndrome mind works, and I already know he'll eventually seek to eliminate me."

Night Master answered in turn, 'So when the time comes he'll be dealt with.." He assured them before smirking, "that's if his own ambition and shortsightedness doesn't prove his undoing."

 "I could give him to my pets" said Smoke "bet they would love the chew toy and give you a show of it..my master" she purred

 "heheh indeed~" Night Master said with a amused smirk finishing off the food Kronk brought, "but Syndrome aside is there anything else to report you three?" He asked with Kronk than again speaking up, "well preparations are still going great for the Nefarious Convention you're holding for the worlds villains."

The man answered before adding with a shrug, "though Jack Hench still seems a bit annoyed that HenchCo has to work with Evil Incorporated to help streamline the arrangements." He said with Night Master giving a hum, "Not surprising before Heinz expanded his business HenchCo was practically the sole corporation centered around villainy."

He intoned, "but competition breeds strength this will be HenchCo chance to truly prove itself, or be left in the ashes of history."

 "well Vanessa´s father does create more impossible machines that one cant help but wonder the how he does it" said Yori

 "Hmm yes, the man is strange but his skill is NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY!" Smoke intoned out before exclaiming out with a clenched fist than adding with a frown, "So much so I still think it'd be safer to bring him into heel in case he gets any ideas."

The girl said looking to her master and object of her desires, "Patience Smoke sometimes a light touch works best, and as of the past few months there is no denying that Dr. Doofenshmirtz performance in villainy has greatly improved."

The Night Master intoned looking over to the flames of the fire place, "And he like all other villains will have his chance to prove their mettle and that they deserve to call themselves villains."

He intoned with a menacing grin though also took in his minions words. He was willing to give the Doctor some leeway out of sentimentality from his former life, but perhaps a bit of the stick over the carrot might be needed to remind Heinz Doofenshmirtz who he was dealing with, "Speaking of villainy being tested we've received a new video report from Becky in North America father." Yori added bowing her head to the Night Master direction, "Oh?"

The Night Master looked over his shoulder toward Yori with a curious expression putting the good Doctor out of his mind for now to to focus on the matter of family, "And pray tell how are my youngest and her monkey fairing in Fair City?"

 "For what they sent..it seems quite good" said Yori as she pushed a button on a remote and a screen descended from the ceiling

 "Oh I love home movies...should of made some popcorn though." Kronk said at first excited before adding with a pout, "hopefully her performance doesn't disappoint." Huffed out Smoke as they all looked toward the screen with a video turning on displaying....a bank robbery?

 Yes it was a simple bank robbery..when suddenly a yellow light rushed in tied the thieves and made all the money bags disappear

suddenly the image changed to the sky

"Hey dad!" a young girl called holding dozens of bags in hands. she was wearing a costume primarily in shades of red and gold/yellow. The top was a long-sleeved red shirt with jagged edges at the cuffs and hem, giving it a somewhat tattered or stylized look. A large, five-pointed gold star was emblazoned on the chest. she wore a golden scarf around their neck.

Around their waist is a dark belt with a circular buckle, and two black, studded bracelets are visible on their wrists. The lower part of their attire consisted of dark, possibly red or black, ripped pants, revealing some skin through the tears. Tall, red boots with jagged, fin-like elements at the top, resembling fish tails or lightning bolts and a flowing, golden cape with a jagged bottom edge is draped over their shoulders.

(the uniform on the right, ignore the outfit/look on the left. )

 "Just calling in to let you know that things are going great." The girl said with a wide smile, "i'm keeping my position as Fair City's number one villain easily."

The girl putting as much smug pride cry into her voice, "Ah look it's Wordgirl!" Before flinching slightly from a cry down below, "hehe you see hehe...the people cry out at the sight of me." she added with a nervous laugh, "I still don't understand her obsession with words and language."

Smoke muttered out with a frown

 "umm think Vanessa said something about villains having to have their own themes" said Yori "and for some reason my sister chose words and language as her...I suppose there is some...charm on showing people you are better in something, even if its diction"

 "Honestly surprised she didn't lean more into the alien theme all things considered, but each their own." Kronk said with his own shrug smiling as the video continued, "Cough...anyway i've been doing good keeping the authorities on their toes...continuing my studies of course....all but ruling the city with a iron fist..."

The girl on the screen said zipping down to a roof top to sat the bags of money on that she leaned against, "You know same old, same old.." she said with a laugh with a monkey screeching off screen, "oh and Bob says hello.."

she said with a slight annoyed look off screen, "but yes as always i've got everything..." her words were cut off by the sound of loud metallic stomping happening off screen with the video turning to the source, "No wait Huggy!"

Said source happen to be a giant robot, "Wordgirl I have come to.." A robot with a blond haired boy holding a remote standing on it's shoulder, "Oh uh look! It's gadget boy!" Wordgirl quickly cut him off by flying back into the camera view with a more strained smile, "I...pardon me?"

The boy said with a confused blink, "Trying to stop my nefarious ways again gadget boy! Don't you realize yet that your defiance is meaningless and my victory is inevitable." The girl declared dramatically, "I..nefarious? Inevitable?"

The boy just looked confused, "Nefarious means something usually bad, wicked, or criminal, while Inevitable means that something is certain to happen no matter what, like my victory over you hero!"

The girl declared dramatically, "I...hero?" The boy just looked further confused, "did mother use expired ingredients in her meatloaf again?" He muttered to himself wondering if he was having some kinda hallucination.

 "well Im in a good mood today" continued Becky..in a somehow stressed tone "So i think will beat you really fast and go..stole ice cream!"

 "I...steal ice cream? Wordgirl what are you talking about and why are you wearing.." The boys words were cut off by Becky or rather Wordgirl zipping up to the robot to punch at it's head.

"Wordgirl? did she really choose that name?" scoffed Smoke "who even suggested that? a per-scholar?" Prompting a glare from Yori, "be mindful of how you speak of my sister minion."

Yori warned with a sharp tone as Night Master let out a tone, "in all honesty there are worst monikers to go by, and to be fair she was young when she chose the name." He admitted with a shrug, "but if it works for her I hardly see the harm."

The villain stated watching the video knowing very well that there was more to this than the other realized.

After all he knew Wordgirl wasn't as bad as she was trying to act and that "gadget boy" was actually more evil than her

cause he knew she wasnt a villain but a heroine

And not just because he knew his daughter either, or had been keeping a close eye on her since she "convinced" him about this exchange program to North America she wanted to take part in.

No because he remembered her from another life...he remember her, Smoke, Yori, and even his current self the Night Master from another life. A life where he was just a regular human being and all of them were simply characters on television from various shows (Or in Kronk case movie) from his childhood.

But it was over 1500 years ago he found himself in this reality...in the body of the Night Master from Yin Yang Yo...one of his favorite villains even to the point he used the title as his online penname.

It took a while to get used to his new form and powers...but when he did he...well needless to say he embraced the role.

And while it was fun with some unexpected twists thrown in (such as a adoption with Yori and Becky not being his first children) he carved a reputation to be feared in the supernatural world.

But...he got arrogant and slip ups happen....as a result he ended up imprisoned in some limbo for over 1500 years till he was finally released almost twenty years ago..

And since than he'd rebuilt his powerbase and than some seizing control of a entire country ruling over Japan from both the shadows and to some level out in the open.

Only this time he will make sure to not make the same mistakes

he has plans, he had ideas, he had much fun stuf to do to simply "being sealed back"

And unlike his canon counterpart he wouldn't just let himself become a background character allowing some other villain to step into his place....no now that he was in the modern era in a reality so many familiar faces from fiction called home...he was doing to have fun.

He thought with a smirk as he continued to watch the video from his youngest daughter and honestly becoming a father was perhaps one of the most surprising yet strangely most enjoyable twists in his new life.

From finding Yori as a little girl in the ashes of Yamanouchi as he brought down the school...to getting a shock when a certain space ship crashed in practically his backyard.

Of course it seemed that unlike Yori, Becky was more attuned to her canon counterpart and was entering a state of rebellious behavior by being a hero just like her canon self with even show events playing out to similar degree.

Only change was the fact the Botsfords were her host family for her stay during America and Becky was doing her best to pass herself off as a villain to his eyes and ears. But poor girl underestimated his reach....and the reach of the internet~

But hey whats family life without some rebellion? he wasn't the only villain with a similar issue plus this could be fun on the long term

 He thought watching as the video continued, "hahaha.." Becky said doing her best evil laugh as she held the blond haired "gadget boy" by the collar of his shirt after knocking the robot down to the ground, "you see Gadget Boy you are powerless and within my vile grasp ahhahaah~"

The girl said with a strained smile while the boy honestly just looked flummoxed and confused beyond measure right now, "is..is this one of those alternate universe things...i've heard about?" He wondered out loud trying to figure out what was going on, "Play along.."

Wordgirl hissed in a low tone under her breath hoping that she couldn't be heard over the video.

 "she needs better heroes to fight against" said Yori "a good villain should have a good hero..not...whoever this is"

 "Bit harsh we all have bad days, and this kids still young like Becky." Kronk added speaking up with a shrug

 "yeah but last thing I want is my sister to end up with a hero like...Albino Burrito" said the ninja girl

 "Urg...the shame it would cause master." Smoke said with her own look of disgust while the Night Master hummed rubbing his chin, "Hmm, yes...perhaps a test for this gadget boy might be order."

He intoned raising hand forming a portal above them allowing a form to fall through with a surprised yell.

 it looked like a toy robot the size of a large action figure with his head- and facial design resembles somewhat of a Moai-statue; it was shaped like an upside-down bucket and has a rectangular nose and triangular eyes. His shell was smooth, shiny and black. He sported dark violet markings on shins and forearms, his hands, ears and headdress are dark violet, too. His eyes had teeth glow turquoise-blue and he had a turquoise-blue emblem on his chest in shape of a capital "Z".

 "Huh what?" The robot said confused before looking up to see the Night Master, "Ah! Boss, what a unexpected..."

He stuttered out only to be silence by the Night Master holding up a hand, "Be silent and watch." Night Master ordered pointing toward the video causing Zarnot to give a blink looking toward the screen.

 "ehhh..what am I seeing?" he asked as in the video word girl set the boy in the top of a pine tree

 "My daughter and her apparent nemesis.." The Night Master answered calmly

"Really? but he looks so..." the robot tried to find a word

"pathetic..the word is pathetic" said Smoke

 "Yes, for once I have to agree with Smoke that my sister is worthier of a much more capable foe." Yori agreed with a frown, "though to be fair this is only one video we got of the kid."

Kronk added pointed out, "Indeed, which is why you've been summoned Zarnot.." Night Master intoned looking down at the toy, "I want you to test this Gadget Boy.." He said with a amused smirk this should make for a entertaining spectacle and keep his daughter on her toes, "I want to see if he's really worth the effort of keeping around as my daughters nemesis."

His eyes took on a red glow, "Or if he needs to be eliminated with intervention needed addressing Becky playing around with fools beneath her weight class, while arranging a more worthy and challenging foe."

 "me? but why? I already have enough with people teasing me about not getting those bunnies, I don't need them to hearing i'm..baby sitting a hero!"

 However Zarnot quickly regretted those words as he found himself grabbed as he was brought up to the Night Master's glaring red eyes, "The fact i'm giving the order should be reason enough toy!"

He snapped out with a near roar, "Ah! Yes sir! Sorry sir!" Zarnot squealed out in his bosses grip, "but to answer your question, since this Gadget Boys specialty seems to be robotic toys than it seems fitting that YOU.."

Flames erupted from the Night Masters eyes for a brief moment before dying down, "will be the one to test him." His master said his eyes turning back to black voids, "consider this a chance to redeem yourself after your previous disappointments."

He added as a portal formed midair in front of him.

 "umm so that means I will get some upgrades if this goes well?" asked the toy

"Perhaps just like you'll be spending time in the toy box if you disappoint me.." The Night Master intoned instead before chucking Zarnot into the portal with a cry of, "not the toybox!" Before the portal closed and he turned his attention back to the video, "So yeah, as you can everything going great!"

Becky said smiling into the camera, "Nothing but nefarious shenanigans and kicking hero butt here, yes siree.." she said with a wide grin before a monkey was again heard over the camera.

"Huggie enough of that!!!" Becky yelled to someone outside frame "just keep recording!"

 Before turning back to the camera, "but yeah i'm making you proud dad.." Becky said with her best convincing smile though the Night Master could see some guilt in her expression, "And um...I miss you, Yori, not to mention Kronk and everyone else."

she added rubbing her arm before her eyes widen, "Not that you need to visit or anything, because i'm totally handling everything just fine!" she added hurriedly holding up her hands.

 "yeah she totally misses us" said Kronk with a smile "should sent her some of my homemade cooking" he called

 "A excellent suggestion Kronk, we should prepare a care package of evil for her." Night Master said with a nod and smirk, "and perhaps arrange a visit later when we have more time.."

He added in a lower mutter with a amused smirk already picturing the chaos said visit would cause, before shaking his head, "but while nemesis aside Becky does seem to be doing well." the villain said as the video turned off, "and while delightful to hear we should return to business.."

The Night Master added to the others, "i still have a call to make to Doofenshmirtz after all." He intoned

with a smirk looking toward the screen.

(Same time, Tri-State Area North America)

 In the suburban neighborhood of the Tri-State area in the home of the Fletcher Family Linda Fletcher was getting ready to leave to run some errands while her children were at school and her husband Lawrence was at work, "now you watch over the house while i'm gone okay Perry~"

Linda said chuckling at the teal platypus that looked up at her with blank gaze, "heh i'm kidding that's what the security system is for~ I know platypus's don't do much~" Linda remarked with a laugh, "heh imagine a platypus as a guard animal." she added as she closed the front door behind her leaving silence for a moment before the platypus stood on his hind legs and put on a fedora.

Before tapping his billed foot onto the carpet floor under him with it soon lowering like a elevator down below all the way to what could only be described a super secret spy lair with him bounding over to a chair in front of a large monitor and computer terminal, "Afternoon Agent P, i'm afraid it's only bad news today, or rather bad business."

On the screen a man with white hair in a buzz-cut, a grey monobrow, and a bushy white mustache dressed in a military-like green long-sleeved shirt with a dark grey collar and dark grey lines down the shoulders and front and around the cuffs appeared

"An image of the Senior island is shown" it seems Dr Doofenshmirtz had sold another inator to some new villain" the man talked "This is the fifth or sixth innator taken from external villains to our organization which finally is proof enough that one of our bigger fears have been proven"

"That bushy mustaches are out of season?" asked a nasal voice

"What the? No Carl!! and bushy mustaches are In no matter what those ridiculous magazines said!" the man coughed "It means Doofenshmirtz has branch out and has started to sell Inators to other criminals. this a violation to the code between O.W.C.A. and I.L.OV.E.M.U.F.F.I.N.S. And needs to be investigated immediately!"

 "Brrrrr.." Perry agreed with his guttural response as the man continued, "As you know we've been somewhat concerned for Doofenshmirtz out of character since for the past year he'd appeared to be taken sabbatical from villainy which while technically a good thing was high irregular from his personality profile."

The monobrow man said as the nasal voice spoke up, "He does love his job...though when you love what you do, is it really considered work?" the voice asked as the monobrow man looked annoyed, "Not now Carl."

He barked back before focusing on the platypus, "What's more our indicate that before we received reports of Doofenshmirtz selling his inventions to other villainous and criminal elements he had taken a vacation."

The man said in a grave tone, "Why is that a bad thing sir? After all, who doesn't like a good vacation to recharge the batteries, remember last summer trip to Hawaii." The nasal voice asked with the Monobrow man scowling but also giving a faint grin, "Yes, that was a limbo contest to remember."

He said fondly seeming to bask in a memory for a moment before shaking his head, "but the vacation itself isn't bad, it's where the destination was.."

The Monobrow man said his tone grave, "Japan.." And at that dramatic music seemed to play out of nowhere.

DUN DUN DUN!

"Heh, I knew that dramatic music feature was a good investment." The Monobrow man said with a faint amused smirk as Perry just gave the man a look, "wait i'm confused, why is Doofenshmirtz going to Japan bad again?"

 The nasal voice asked in confusion prompting annoyed look from the other man who just sighed, "if you just listen Carl you'll find out." He said before focusing back on Perry.

"You see agent P, Japan is an almost off limit location for our organization almost edging into no-man land as rumors indicate a particular dangerous criminal had taken over the underworld of that country..and by take over i mean literal obliterating any rival gang or supervillain becoming the shadow king of Japan" he looked at the platypus "someone a level or two over your paycheck and yet Doofenshmirtz seems to have reached an agreement with him as robots and weapons managed to be confiscate or capture had shown to have his mark on it...literal" he added showing a picture of a raygun, a magnifying lens is put showing the Evil inc logo

With Perry or rather Agent P letting out a concerned, "Brrrrr.." as the man continued, "So as you can see coupled with Doofenshmirts recent actions of breaking the standing code agreement and selling to the wider criminal underworld, this must be investigated and put a stop to at once."

The man said sternly with Perry the Platypus saluting before spinning the chair around and rushing toward a small spy car that rose up from a platform on the ground and without another word took off blasting out his lair...

 In the sky (if anyone looked up) they would see a platypus with a fedora and a jetpack flying up...

 Dooby dooby doo-bah
Dooby dooby doo-bah
Dooby dooby doo-bah
Dooby dooby doo-bah

Perry!

He's a semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal of action!

Dooby dooby doo-bah
Dooby dooby doo-bah

He's a furry little flatfoot, who'll never flinch from a fray-ee-ay-ee-ay!
He's got more than just mad skill (Wah-ah-ah)

He's got a beaver tail and a bill (ah-ah)

And the women swoon whenever they hear him say

( Perry chatters and women swoon)

He's Perry, Perry the Platypus!

But you can call him Agent P.

Perry!

I said you can call him Agent P.

A-gent-P!

...And straight to a tall squared building in the distance

Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!!!

Down in the streets a car stopped in front of the building from where a tall brunnette teen descended. she was wearing a tight-fitting elbow-length black leather jacket, tight black leggings and black medieval high-heeled boots.

"Thanks for bringing me mom" she said to a woman with short swooped dark brown hair and a slightly yellow fair skin tone dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, glasses and hat

"No problem Vanessa" said the woman as she also descended and helped pull out some suitcases from the car "I'm happy your father suggested you staying with him while Im taking that cruise around the world" the woman smiled "Honestly I still cant believe your father got me this travel for my birthday

Vanessa smiled softly

"Yeah I'm also a bit shocked" she said "seems selling his inventions to all those evil criminals and villains do give good money"

The woman rolled her eyes

"Vanessa" she sighed "with how well you and your dad have been fixing your relationship Im quite surprise you still are calling her evil"

 "Just because we've been getting closer doesn't change the fact he's evil mom." Vanessa sighed out with a eye roll, "I mean his company literally called Doofenshmirtz EVIL Incorporated.."

she told her mom leaning through the car window while her mother just chuckle, "Oh Vanessa, that's just a silly business gimmick Heniz choose." the woman said rolling her eyes, "Personally I think he read too many comics, but I suppose there have been weirder business strategies."

The woman said musing out loud before shaking her head, "Regardless you and your father have fun while i'm on my cruise, and remember to stay out of trouble." she said with Vanessa sighing but giving her mother a smile already knowing it was pointless to argue about this right now, "I will mom don't worry.."

she said as her mother smiled, "Good, now don't worry i'll call you as often as I can.." she said getting ready to leave, "Oh and before I forget please remember to make sure Heinz takes care of himself.."

Her mother said with a eye roll, "I'm happy that his work is doing better but your father always has a habit of jumping the gun and not thinking things through."

 And as summoned by her words a close by tree was hit by some laser that turned it into a giant frenchfry

 Prompting Vanessa to give the tree a stunned look while her mother took off, 'love you sweetie!" Obviously not seeing the tree, "Wait Mom...I....sigh forget it.." Vanessa sighed out with a groan obviously realizing her mother didn't hear her or see the tree turned frenchfry.

So instead picked up her luggage and looked up toward the building ,"what are you up to now dad?" she wondered out loud with a slight dry look.

 Up on the building; to the last floor on a room filled with gadgets, computers and inventions a big screen was shown showing the frechfry

"as you can see Mr The Butcher" a higly accent voice called "the potato-inator will turn anything into a potato without a fail. and had various settings like fry, steamed, boiled and others" he said with pride "I can assure you this will be the best birthday´s gift for your father"

 "Wow, thanks Doc! I have to admit that's pretty cool!" Spoke a large man with brown hair, a stubble chin, and matching details. Who was wearing a white outfit with a matching hat on his head. He had a sausage holder that he wears over his outfit. His apron had a pink splatter on it. There was also a giant pork-chop at the back of his outfit, and at the side of his outfit, there was a small slice of meat.

And right now the man was smiling at the device that was being shown to him, "really makes the drive here worth it.."

"Thanks Mr The Bucher, we here in Evil inc take big pride on our products" the speaker was a triangle-shaped head man with an extremely pointy crooked nose, and a very oddly formed pointed chin. Messy brown hair and blue eyes dressed in a black turtleneck sweater, under a long, thin white lab coat, long gray or dark green slacks and black shoes. "Also I'm happy to say your order of meat based creatures is ready and soon you will have a legion of meat eating meat monsters to TAKE OVER THE TRI-STATE AREA!!!" he cried with lighting and thunder echoing

A pause

"Fair City" the butcher theme villain said

"sorry its a habit" said the scientist

 "Eh no worries, you do you.." Butcher said with a shrug and friendly smile actually finding himself liking the doc's energy...hmm maybe he should invite him to the Fair City villain association...he'd probably fit right in, "but can't wait, i've honestly never had a uh what's the order...um oh yeah..minion before.."

The Butcher said with a thoughtful look turned eager smile,"I mean that's always been more Twobrains, Mr. Big, or that robot kids kinda thing.." He said giving a shrug, "so i'm..kinda nervous about this.." He admitted rubbing the back of his neck

 "bah dont worry, they have basic programing into them, think of them like attack dogs only made of meat" said the doctor "look my test subject should arrive in 3...2...1..."

The sound of a jetpack was heard and suddenly a platypus with a fedora landed on the balcony

Bzzzzz!!!

only to be shot and trapped inside a baked potato

"ahhh Perry the platypus, how are you?" greeted the doctor "hows the family? well..do you have a family? sorry its just I realize dont know much about you outside work i mean someone like you probably have a lady or two after"

 At that Perry who's head was sticking out of the baked potato just shot him a flat look, "Uhhh doc?" Butcher question confused scratching his head, "what's with the uhh...want to say mutant duck?" The Butcher question giving Perry a confused look with the platypus giving the Butcher a insulted look

"Oh yeah let me introduce you" said the Doctor said "The Butcher meet Perry the Platypus my nemesis...Perry the Platypus meet The butcher a client of mine"

 "Hiya nice to meet you.." Butcher greeted with a actual friendly wave and smile, "Huh...so you fight a..what you call it...platypus." He repeated rubbing his chin as he leaned in closer to Perry, "no offense doc, but with your brains surprised you don't have a superhero as your personal enemy." He stated before adding with a frown, "and uhh...nemesis means enemy right?"

He asked frowning in thought, "Because I remember Wordgirl teaching me that."

 "yeap and you would think but A) Perry here is quite the tricky and handful opponent let me tell you" scoffed the doctor "and B) my organization has a exclusivity contract with his agency so we cant fight other enemies unless they are specifically being hired by the other company"

 "Really? Huh that sounds pretty official.." Butcher said with a blink with a arched brow, "I've mostly just fought Wordgirl these days since meeting her...but did use to fight some spy kids back in the day a few years..."

He added rubbing his chin in thought, "never really signed any paperwork for either.."

"I recommend you check that if you have a villainous group" said the doctor "believe me having exclusivity helps to not fight beyond your capabilities and end up overworking yourself"

'Hmm you know what...I might just do that.." The Butcher said with at thoughtful nod, "I mean me and the other villains that live in Fair City have a association we're all a part of, we have annual meetings, hang outs, and even villain karaoke nights.."

he added with a smile, "so they might be interested in this kinda stuff too.."

"We just opened an legal service, can give you the details later to made a legal contract for your hero and your friends to sign later" added the doctor

"Thanks Doc appreciate it...and in return can give you a invite to the association.." The Butcher said with a smile, "I mean I know that you don't live in Fair City, but don't think there's really any rule against you joining the meetings if you're interested."

He said to the Doc before turning toward Perry the Platypus who let out a, "Brrrrrr..." while giving them a slight impatient look while struggling to break free from his spud prison, "Oh but we're getting kinda uh distracted.."

The Butcher said with a embarrassed chuckle, "I guess this is the part where we explain what's going on huh.." He added to the doctor

"Oh yes yes! sorry Perry the Platypus usually i dont get so distracted but all this expansion of my business has my mind in various places at the same time" he coughed "Anyways! as I was saying Perry the Platypus, you are in time to test my newest creations!" he brign out a control and pressed a button

A cage began to be lowered...a cage...full of meat?

"Confused.." Butcher asked seeing the platypus giving a befuddled look, "You see I came here for two reasons..."

He said holding up his fingers, "The first is.." here he looked a bit sheepish, "well it's to get my dad a birthday present.." he admitted with Perry giving a blink, "See dad's this old long time villain hehe family business.."

Butcher said with a smirk, "He's called kid potato and his whole thing is well...potatoes and any food made from potatoes.." he admitted with a shrug, "so the doc made a device that would turn anything into a potatoes, and honestly can't wait to see pops expression when he gets his gift."

Butcher said clapping excitedly before getting ahold of himself and coughing into a fist, "of course..that comes to part two of why i'm here.."

He said with a smirk his hands on his hips, "You see i'm well the Butcher and where my pops thing is potatoes, meat is mine...heck my whole power is all about meat.."

Butcher told the captured agent with a proud grin prompting a arched brow, "Oh yeah I got superpowers just watch.." Butcher said going out to the balcony before holding out his hands and than letting out a cry, "Hotdog surprise!"

Butcher cried with Perry watching with surprise as meat...specifically hotdogs shot out of Butcher hands with a red glow and into the air....

(down below)

"I can't believe you're opening a hotdog cart but only bought buns and condiments!" Exclaimed out a wife to her husband who was dressed as a farmer as she shook her head in disbelief however at those words...a pile of hot dogs fell on top of the two covering them completely

"ok..now we need to sell 2x1 to make sure nothing get spoiled" the woman added

(Back up)

"See? meat...so anyways, I kinda am like..a top5 villain back at home you know? fight the hero constantly, big numbers of robberies...kinda big...but well" he scratched his neck "Im not exactly big in the whole...minion stuff...and well...big named villains must have like...theme minions to command"

"And thats where I enter Perry the platypus!" called Doof "with a sample of meat he created and some dog DNA I created the best minions a man like The butcher would love!" he pulled out a dog whistle and blow it

Perry shivered at the sound.

But the meat inside the cage began shaking and moving and piling themselves until literal dogs made of meat stood barking loudly inside

"Admire!!! the meat-dogs!!!" presented the doctor

 "Ahhh look at them...they're so affordable..." The Butcher said gushing over the dogs, "I think you mean adorable but yes they are affordable at my prices Mr. The Butcher." Doofenshmirtz corrected while giving a smirk.

Adorable...might be only for him.

For Perry they were just a bunch of different meats put together in a dog shape, actually barking like dogs, "So now what? Do I just give a order or what?" Butcher asked with a frown toward Doofenshmirtz

"Indeed, as their...well...origin" coughed the doctor "you should have full control over them" he punched another button and the floor beneath Perry and the cage lowered becoming a small arena "try it" he added as he punched another button and the cage open.

"Okay..here goes.." Butcher said taking a deep breath before calling out, "Meat Dogs heel!" He ordered with the dogs all stiffening but soon lining up in a straight line while looking at the Butcher excitedly, "Now sit.."

Butcher ordered again with a small smile getting more confident and the meatdogs easily obeyed, "Now roll over~" He added with a laugh with once again the Meat Dogs obeying the order.

 Perry rolled his eyes and sent Doof a look that said "you being serious?"

"what? is theme-fitting, evil and quite cheap considering he can feed them with his own meat"

 "nothing like a all meat diet to help you grow up big and strong.." The Butcher chimed in with a chuckle grinning widely, "now hows about we give these puppies a real test~" he added rubbing his hands together eagerly.

 "thats why Perry is here" said Doof "go ahead, after all a test run is allowed in our contract

"Grrrr!!!"

"It is and I have the lawyers to prove it!!"

 "Huh sure doc, though don't you think we should let him out of the trap first." Butcher said but question with a unsure expression, "I mean doesn't feel very fair to attack someone who's already caught you know."

 Blink

Blink

"Ok thats...actually a good point" said the doctor "although usually he would be out by now..must caught him in an off day"

"Grrrr"

"Oh come on don't get like that Perry the Platypus everyone has off days"

 the Doctor said as Perry gave him a annoyed stare before taking a rather large bite out of his potato prison with him soon taking another and than another as Doofenshmirtz and Butcher watched as the secret agent platypus literally ate himself free before launching himself forward and landing in a battle stance.

 "see now thats why you are my nemesis" smiled the doctor

"ok now is fair fight" said The Butcher "sick him boys!"

 And with that the Meatdogs started barking as they charged toward Perry who simply held his battle stance and as the first one leapt toward him he shot out a high kick with his right billed foot launching it back than twisted lashing out with his tail whacking another in the cheek knocking it back.

Followed by doing a hand spring forward landing on one dog with a high lick than bent backwards dodging anothers pounce before grabbing it by it's back legs and than swinging it out using it as a weapon against several other Meatdogs before letting go and allowing it to fling off to hit the wall with a thud yelp, "Woah...he's good.."

The Butcher said watching the ensuing battle with a slightly stunned blink.

 "see told you" said the Doctor "you fight against a little girl, i fight against a semi aquatic mammal..both can sound silly but we know how haard they hit"

"Eh to be fair the little girl I usually fight has superpowers." The Butcher said with a slight embarrassed cough, "And those next door spies from years back could give a pretty good scrap." He added scratching the back of his neck with a slight embarrassed expression while unnoticed behind them a small flame sparked in mid air that expanded into a mystical floating screen that showed a silhouette with glowing red eyes and what appeared green flames behind them casting the figure in a even more menacing image, "Am I interrupting something."

The silhouette spoke causing booth Doofenshmirtz and Butcher to stiffen while Perry despite his situation gave the new twist a look of shock while feeling a strange chill go down his spine.

"Oh great, you know I specific as to not be call during work hours" scoffed the scientist "you know how rude it is to interrupt a battle to answer a phone call?" he called turning to the screen

"Yes, yes.." The silhouette however appeared unbothered by Doof's annoyance simply waving him off with a eye roll, "but perhaps i wouldn't be calling at inconvenient time if someone remembered to report in with their progress when they are supposed to.."

The figure said giving Heinz a slight annoyed look

"Hey! i will let you know you arent my only client" scoffed Doof in anger "I have many projects and orders in line so you will need to wait your turn like the others"

 At that Perry gave Heinz a incredulous look as he pounced on the back of one of the Meatdogs and rode it like a bull at the rodeo.

He didn't know who this figure was, but his animal instincts were screaming at him that this person was dangerous! And at the same time his mind went back to Major Monogram warning...was this...the shadow ruler of Japan?

Butcher himself was a bit confused but found himself giving the silhouette a nervous look as they glared at the Doc, 'just another client am I.."

The figure warned with a hint of threat entering their voice, "Do I need to remind you.." Flames literally sprouted out from this figures eyes, "just who this client is!?"

They bellowed out as beams of energy shot out from their eyes and straight at the screen with Butcher and Doof ducking with wide eyes with the beams hitting one of the Meatdogs with it letting out a yelp...before it started to mutate and grow, "Of the power this client possesses!"

The silhouette intone as Perry in his own shock was bucked off the other meat dog who flee over to Butcher side with the other Meatdogs that weren't hit by the beam shaking behind the larger villain, "And of the debt you OWE!"

Was the final shout that shook the room as now a large three headed form made out of cooked meat towered over Doof, Butcher, and Perry with three mouths full of very sharp teeth.

Butcher immediately jumped in fright while Perry looked ready to do so too

Doof gritted his teeth between scared and angry

"Believe me I dont forget" said the doctor "I own you big time for Vanessa and I will keep my word" he said looking at the screen "so dont go..bat-crazy with me and just have some patience"

The figure stared silently at Doofenshmirtz before snapping their fingers with the cerberus meatdog suddenly glowing before vanishing in a flash of light.
..
..
..
BOOM

With silence filling the air for several minutes before a loud explosion was heard off in the distance along with panic screams with the three in the room getting a good idea of where the meat cerberus might of disappeared off too, "See that you do Doctor, and I'd also advise you to remember who you're addressing in the future.."

The figure on the mystical monitor said with a glare, "I'm willing to give my minions and allies leniency but only so far.." they warned leaning closer, "My daughter might consider your own a friend, but in the end you serve me now...never forget that."

 "Oh believe me I never forget" Doof narrowed his eyes "I always remember"

"Excellent.." The silhouette intoned before glancing over toward Perry, "that being said do finish things with your pet nemesis.." they stated their eyes seeming to pierce into Perry soul, "I'm most eager to hear your progress on the assignment I gave you.."

they said with a dark chuckle before their gaze went over to Butcher, "but I am pleased to see that you've been doing good work expanding your business to the greater villain underworld, it will only strengthen the cause of evil as a whole~"

They added with a smirk

 "ehh yeah..you know..expansing..evil?" The Butcher said not really knowing what to think of this

"Expanding...not expansing.." The figure corrected with a sigh face palming.."urg no wonder my daughters become the top villain there so easily.."

He grumbled under his breath prompting even more confusion from the group, "Just...don't disappoint me...and be prepared for all the worlds villains will have their roles to play in the days to come.."

The silhouette intoned before their gaze went over to Perry who had carefully been backing up while trying to think of a plan, "As for you my semi acquatic mammal.." The eyes glared, "i'm not Doofenshmirtz....and while I don't mind playing with heroes who think they can challenge me...really it's a amusing hobby.."

They admitted giving a chuckled before narrowing their eyes, "rest assured if you get in my way you'll end up on my dinner table!"

 and with that the window close

A moment of silence fell

"Ohhh I assure you I don't forget" Doof said with a serious angry expression "one of this day...ONE of this days I will make something to teach that bat a lesson"

At that Perry spoke up, "Grurururru.." Giving the Doctor a look compelling his his "nemesis" for answers...he'd been Heinz assigned agent for a good few years even with the sabbatical he took the past year...and knew the doctor working with somebody like THAT...well for all his talk of being evil...this was particularly out of character for Doofenshmirtz.

"What?!" called the doctor crossing his arms "that guy? someone that made me a favor and now is REALLY insisting on me paying him back" he scoffed "honestly for someone that supposedly has a thousand years or so under the belt he acts like a edgy teen..even Vanessa is more patient that him"

Perry gave him a incredulous look feeling like Doofenshmirtz wasn't taking this as seriously as he should, and was worried that the doctor would regret.

BOOM

Before flinching at the loud explosion that happen from block or so away..."Ehh Doc.." With both him and Doofenshmirtz turning to look at the Butcher who was looking out over the edge with the remaining meatdogs at his feet, "What the are the chances a giant three headed meatdog will listen to me?"

Butcher question nervously....just as a car a seen flying through the air and crashing through a building on the other side of the street..

 "uggg without that bat messing it? 100% now? i said about a 40%" sighed the doctor "And sorry you had to end up in the middle of it, seriously that guy really need to learn some manners"

BOOM

"Grrrr!!!"

"yeah yeah I heard you Perry the platypus" said Doof "honestly you think i would create this creatures without a way to undo it? believe me i had to replace my couch 3 times while doing them but I learned" he added pulling out a vial with glowing liquid "now usually i would spry it with this but on that size? will need it to eat it"

 At that the platypus shot the Doctor a incredulous look that only grew at a yell that echoed out across the city, "ITS BREATHING FIRE! THE HEADS ARE BREATHING FIRE!"

And Butcher gave a wince from where he stood, "Oooh...hope those guys have insurance.." He said with a grimace before giving a cough, "Anyway doc, no need to apologize not your fault.." The Butcher said turning to face the doc and the duck beaver thing..."But eh this seems more like a hero thing someone should take care of...and well got to get dad's gift ready to go and all that.."

Butcher said with a nervous laugh

 "Grrrrrr!!!" the platypus crossed his arms

"he is..kinda right...that dog is still made by your meat and technically still part of the batch made for you" said the doctor

"you can understand him?" Butcher asked with a slight confused blink

Doof turned at him with an arched eyebrow

"he is my nemesis, if we couldn't understand each other how would we banter and monologue?"

With Perry rolling his eye's at that statement while Butcher raised a finger, "That's ... actually a good point." He said with a blink, "And I suppose it isn't too weird Wordgirl can always understand that monkey of hers just fine."

He added with a mutter before shaking his head with a sigh, "But yeah... since it's meat on the rampage....I suppose villain or not I'm the guy to handle it." Butcher said with a slight frown before looking hopeful, "though if I do manage to get it under control I can just bet all the other villains back home will be so jealous."

"well you paid for it so technically its yours" said the doctor

"Grrrrrr!!!"

"It is! legally is his and I now have the lawyers with the paperwork to prove it!"

Perry however gave Doofenshmirtz a flat look before taking off and reaching inti his hat to pull out a signed copy of the agreement terms of arching and confrontation between OWCA and LOVEMUFFIN and pointed emphasizing the section he'd been violating.

"Hey! that said I CANT FIGHT other heroes nor use my inventions on them!" called the doctor "It doesnt said anything about selling them for OTHERS to use!"

Perry blink at that before looking through the contract....and it looked like....Heinz might be right!?

He was tempted to call up Major Monogram immediately but...

BOOM.... They had a monster weenie to deal with first.

"Look we can meet with our lawyers later but 1.- you can bet Im not looking to fight someone outside you, I have my professionalism still" he huffed "and 2.- we have bigger issues so how about help here before that dog calls unwanted attention?"

Perry at that gave a agreeing nod as Heinz handed over the formula bottle but before, "Grururu.." making clear that they'd be having a long chat later.... about both his recent business dealings....and who he'd been doing business with..

His mind going to that shadowy figure for a moment and giving a shiver before shaking it off and approaching Butcher, "looks like it's time for a classic hero villain team up, huh little guy." Butcher stated cracking his knuckles, "hope you're ready to bbq~"

"Ok lets do this!" called Doof pulling a lever and the floor they were standing began moving transforming into a movile platform that soon flew out the building towards where the now monster dog was

Missing the arrival of a teenager in black, "Dad! I'm here!" Called out Vanessa but blinked seeing no sign of her father, "Where..." She started to asked before hearing a loud explosion down the street, "Of course..."

She sighed out before moving to take her luggage to her room she'd meet with her dad after he was done fighting his nemesis... after all it's not like he could be in that much trouble... right?

(A few streets away)

The meat Cerberus let out a fearsome roar as citizens fled the meaty terror

"help!"

"someone call 911!"

"someone call the pound!"

"someone call the meat store!"

"someone get me BBQ sauce!!!"

 The Cerberus roared opening it's mouths which suddenly shot flames from the middle head while the left and right shot out large waves of ketchup and mustard?

 "Ohh it can do that?" asked the butcher interested

"Oh yeah, heat the meat and add condiments at the same time" said the doctor with pride

 "That's pretty neat!" Butcher said with a grin with Perry, "Grururu.." reminding them to focus, "Right...what's the plan?" Butcher ask with a frown.

"Ok this should be simple" said the doctor "all we need to do is make him eat this vial and it should return it to a buch of meat without movement" said the doctor holding up the vial "later you can re-build it once i make sure that bat didnt leave any surprise on it"

"Right so just need to get it to take it's medicine easy peasy.." Butcher said with the Cerberus giving off another roar as it crushed another car underfoot..."ehhh... don't suppose it'll listen if I tell it to sit?"

Butcher suddenly asked with a more nervous expression

"could be...as said that bat messed with it but maybe there is still enough of you there for you to control it...lets give it a try and if not we will try violence"

"Worth a shot.." Butcher mutter as the flying platform floated in front of the Meat Cerberus, "Hey!" Butcher shouted getting it's attention, "heel! Sit!"

The dog turned at him his eyes seems to glow a moment, one of his heads actually looked up...until the other two growled at it

"Ehh no...no.." Butcher raised his hand with his best stern look trying to not let his fear show, "Sit...be good boy...or eh...girl?" He trailed off sending the Doc a questioning look at that part.

the doc shrugged with the dog seemingly "arguing" with itself..which in turn made it even wilder and began racing through town more chaotically

"Well so much for it obeying.." Butcher muttered with a frown, "guess the whole three heads thing make it hard to agree.." he added rubbing his chin.

"yeah can see it but hey three headed dog its kinda a brand of its own, a two headed dog would be meh and a 4 headed dog would already be silly" said the doctor as piloted the platform after the dog

"True.." Butcher agreed with a nod seeing that before getting serious, "but since giving orders didn't do the job, than it's time to do what I'm best at.."

He said with a smirk before thrusting out his hands as he cried out, "Turducken Twister!"

And a literal twister of meat shot catching the dog off guard and sending it flying and crashing against the street

Perry took advantage to jump off the platform and rush towards the fallen dog, hook weapon on the ready.

As the dog began recovering, the platypus shoot a close by lightpost and sneaked under the meat beast, moving between its legs as the cable of his weapon began tying and wrapping itself

 With the meat cerberus heads letting out barks of aggravation as they found their legs being bound and tied.

 Growling in anger the dog began trashing breathing condiments and fire as crazy

With Perry grimacing gripping the cable in his hands tighter but straining against the beasts struggle and sadly before he knew it..."GRURURUR!"

The Meat Cerberus broke free and he was sent flying into the air with the Cerberus growling and opening it's jaws much to the widening eyes of Butcher and Doofenshmirtz

"OH SWEET MEAT GRINDER!"

"PERRY THE PLATYPUS!"

 While Perry could only look down with widen eyes as he plummeted toward the open maw but glare gripping the formula in hand...ready to do what was necessary...only for a blur to swoop in and grab him before the Cerberus middle head could snap shut and swallow him.

"Woah there! Not sure what you are buddy, but last I check platypi aren't on the menu." Spoke the form of Hamster one of the new heroes of the Tri-State Area and someone that had immediately entered OWCA watch list along with his partner..."Hamster you okay and...is that beaver wearing a hat?"

Question the superhero Gretel..."Sigh...platypus...not beaver...what are they teaching you kids these days." Corrected Hamster with a sigh before looking down at Perry who he was holding by the back of his neck fur, "Sorry about that she's young and learning.."

Perry simply shrugged debating if keep going or try "blend in"

"Oh ok that was too close" said Doof as he and The butcher descended "thanks little hamster, think have some sunflower seeds around here if you want" he added as he searched in his pockets

"No thanks necessary....but happy to accept those seeds.." Hamster said at first modest but than picking up a slight eager tone, "Eating later, stopping a meat monster dog now.."

Gretel said giving the Meat Cerberus a wary look, "Where did this thing even come from? And..' she gave the two guys on a floating platform a questioning look, "And who are you guys?"

she question wanting some answers, "Oh well i'm the Butcher.." Butcher gave a friendly wave, "I'm a super villain from Fair City.." he introduced himself with Gretel and Hamsters eyes slightly widening, "And this guy was one of the meat dogs the doc made for me along with a birthday present for my pops.."

He explained gesturing at the meat dogs that were sitting on the plat form around his legs prompting arched brows from the heroes just noticing their presence before Butcher added with a frown, "but than the guy got a call from some spooky guy on a magic screen that got upset and well...the guy turned one of the little meat dogs...into a BIG meat dog with three heads.."

Both girl and hamster looked at him with no idea of what to even think while Perry simply facepalmed

"in short words" called Doof "dog that is his is out control we need to give medicine to stop him from acting crazy" he added showing the vial

"Right..." Gretel said with a nod, "we can totally handle that.." she added with a proud smirk before giving Doof a glare, 'but I think we need to talk about who you are and why you're apparently selling stuff like this to super villains later.."

she added with her best stern tone, "Incidentally you wouldn't happen to know anything about some bank robbers having a ray that could turn anything to cheese do you?" Hamster added with a arched brow, "Now that sounds like something Dr. Two Brains would invent.." Butcher chimed with a blink...and in fact the doc had invented a number of rays that turned something into cheese before.

"ehhhhh yeah talk with that guy" said Doof "for now lets stop that hot dog!"

And with that the plat form and heroes moved and just in time as fire, ketchup, and mustard was shot up into the air hitting where they'd been earlier, "pass me the medicine and i'll make sure the fido gets it!"

Gretel called out with a determined expression

"Ok catch little girl" said Doof throwing the vial at her "Perry, Butcher keep two heads distracted!"

"What am I chopped liver.." Hamster called with a deadpan holding Perry, "No but this is..."

Butcher said before holding out his hands blasting out with a cry of, "Chopped Liver Avalanche!"

"woah thats quite the power" said Gretel in awe as a bunch of meat hit the dog on one side

"would do good for a BBQ" added Hamster

"Oh yeah, I make the best BBQ around even got some great recipes.." Butcher bragged with a large proud smile.

"GRURURUR!"

"Oh yeah not the time" said the Hamster as Perry shot his extra hook wrapping it on the other head with hamster moving to help keep it from moving

"Hey fido! Look at me! I'm a chewtoy, bet you want to make me squeak!" Hamster called out while withholding a sigh, things he did as a hero..

Grrrrr bark bark!!!

"here little one...obey papa!" called The butcher moving to the opposite side shutting meatballs at the left head

Both heads moved to attack but only pulled the body in two different sides causing it to get rooted while the middle head barked trying to regain control

With Gretel seeing her chance as she swooped in with a cry of, "Giving the mutant meat dog monster it's medicine throw!" with her throwing the vial in her hand for all it's worth straight into the middle heads open mouth.

"BARK!!! BARK!!!!

The dog barked, then coughed and then began glowing

POOF

until it came undo and back into a pile of meat

"Well...that was easier than I expected.." Hamster said with a blink as Perry managed to slip off the dog just as it started glowing to safely land and slide down a light post..

"Sorry about your dog" Gretel told Butcher

"dont worry, its easy fix" said Doof as he moved closer and pulled a giant scoop to gather all the meat "it will be back in four soon only less wild"

"Glad to hear it doc.." Butcher said with a relieved smile, "But man what a day.." He said with a chuckle, "didn't expect this when I came to get pops a birthday present and me some new minions to use against Wordgirl.."

"Ehh excuse me?" called Gretel "Wordgirl? as in the superhero? as in you are villains right?"

"Yep!" Butcher gave a proud smile, "ever since I was a small boy when my powers first kicked in and my dad taught me the ropes of being a bad guy.."

He said before adding with a cough, 'Granted pops and I have different ways of doing things but eh..I think I still turned out as a pretty good villain." he explained missing Doof face palm with Perry, "Right.."

Gretel said slowly exchanging looks with Hamster, "you do realize i'm a hero right?" She questioned with a arched brow, "Which means I have to take you in...you and the Doc here.." she added gesturing toward Doofenshmirtz, "Because i'm pretty sure selling to super villains is illegal.."

"Oh? first of all little girl, outside of a small incident with giant dog that we helped fix have you see us do something evil?" asked Doof

"Well no...but that guy just said he bought the mutant meat dogs from you.." Gretel said with a blink and frown while gesturing toward some of the other meat dogs that were standing around Butcher.

"he did and was a legal selling, I have the papers and all" continued the doctor "meaning no crime here"

"Grurururru.." Though at that Perry spoke up with the communicator on his wrist going on, "Aha! A confession!" Called out Major Monogram from the communicator, "Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz you are in direct violation of the code agreement between OWCA and LOVEMUFFIN!"

The man called out smugly, "And even if you were selling your work legally as you claim, don't think you can wiggle out of this!"

"Oh great, what you want Francis?" asked Doof "I already explain Perry the platypus that I can sell my inventions as long as Im not the one using them against other heroes/agents"

 "What?!" Monogram demanded with a angry expression, "there is no way..." he began to say before Carl spoke up off screen, "Actually sir i've been going through the treaty terms of engagement and arching between OWCA and LOVEMUFFIN....and it looks like he's right about this loophole." The unpaid intern said as he stepped into the screenshot and handed his superior some documents.

 "HA in your face Francis...I can do money legally and be evil at the same time so nyaaaaa!!!" show tongue

 "I...am so confused right now.." Gretel said with a blink and look toward Hamster who shrugged, "getting a real mad scientist vs secret agent kinda vibe from the pharmacist and platypus myself to be honest." Hamster said with a thoughtful frown.

 "Oh woah...how is that the hamster gets it but everyone else think im some pharmacist?" asked Doof with a roll of eye "but yeah sorry little girl, you hero but i have an exclusivity contract here that dont allow me fight against other heroes unless get permission from Perry over here"

he added pointed at the platypus "but could maybe interest you in an inator?" pulls out a small pamphlet "usually i sell to villains but think have some small ones that can be fitting of you, consider it a compensation for the whole evil dog thing"

 "I...okay let me get back to you on that um...inator..." Gretel said with a pause and slight tempted look, "Besides the mutant meat dog we dealt with some crooks with a cheese ray and i'm guessing that's one of yours..."

she added hands on her hips, "and i'm pretty sure selling inventions to super villains and criminals is illegal....right?" she stated at first in sure tone before trailing off sounding less confidant.

Hey give her a break she was a little girl new to the hero thing, and it wasn't like she studying law in school.

 "Its a grey area and depend how lethal it can be" said Doof "and my innators although powerful are not lethal in the common sense" he added "plus my building and business is all legal or you think i would be able to announced it like that if it wasnt?" he added pointing at the tall building of Evil inc..and the giant sign on it

 "Huh...you think we'd haven noticed something like that sooner.." Hamster said with a blink as Gretel gave a groan, "Urg...this is so Kevin department...i'm the kick butt and take the bad guy to jail hero...not the review paper work and laws hero.."

she groaned out rubbing her face, "Believe me i'm not happy about this either..." Grumbled out Monogram from Perry's communicator, "How could we of missed such a loophole?!" he exclaimed out in frustration, "And trying to write up a entirely new agreement with LOVEMUFFIN would be bureaucratic nightmare that I rather not go through again.."

He said with a shiver, "yeah last time all the arguing aside Dr. Bloodpudding flooded half the city with radish flavor pudding while getting into a fight with Agent D, and Dr. Diminutive shrunk Agent E down to the size of mouse....which is pretty ironic considering the myth about Elephants being afraid of mice..but I digress."

Carl chimed in giving a shrug

 "Ok I understand all of that and wish i shouldnt" said Hamster "on that note...you guys have dental?" he asked Perry

"Hamster!" called Gretel

"what? if we continue fighting evil dont see why cant get something out of it"

 "on that matter we'll appreciate discretion on the existence of OWCA..." Monogram said with a sigh, "And we might be willing to negotiate part time membership if you're willing to put in the hours.."

He added with a thoughtful look after all a super power agent would be pretty cool and just the thing to hold over Betty Directors head too~

But focused back on the situation as The Butcher gave a cough, "This has been a uh..really interesting day.." Butcher said getting everyone attention, "But if it's alright...i'd like to get my pops birthday gift package up...and leave with my new meat dogs."

he said as Gretel frowned, "Well...you did help us....and I suppose you haven't really committed any crimes here..' she said with a frown really not sure if it was okay to let a confirmed super villain go or not.

 "It's for the best" said Doof as he helped The Butcher onto the platform "believe me you won't believe how territorial heroes can be if they see their bad guys fighting other heroes"

"Eh to be fair think Wordgirl would like meeting other heroes, but yeah don't want to make her upset." Butcher said with a shrug

"Again will recommend make an exclusivity contract, will alleviate many headaches about future hero vs villain fights" said Doof as he began leaving "Ok was fun, hate you Perry the Platypus, hate you Francis, nice to meet you girl and Hamster"

"uhh nice meeting you too.." Gretel said with a blink and wave, "This has to be one of the most surreal days ever." She added with a mutter glancing to Hamster.

"honestly with how things started for us I shouldnt be surprise things will be weirder" answered the little rodent

"True.." Gretel said before looking over to...the Platypus, "And where's that Perry guy?" She asked with confusion remembering what the guy dressed as pharmacist called him, "Eh probably half way back to his secret headquarters.."

Hamster said as they both started to float up, "And one of these days we should probably invest in our own headquarters."

"sure just eat less and maybe we could save some money and get one" said Gretel rolling her eyes...although a place to call her base wouldnt be a bad idea

 And as they disappeared in the horizon Perry leaned out from a near by alleyway before looking down at his communicator with Monogram grumbling while flipping through some papers, "Urg...such a mess...remind me who wrote up the contract again Carl?" The man asked with a annoyed expression that fell flat at Carl's next words, "That would be you sir. You said you wanted to do it personally to avoid any trouble down the line."

The unpaid intern said as Monogram gave a cough, "Well...we all make mistakes.." The leader of OWCA said with a embarrassed expression, "that said this is indeed a major problem for all of Doofenshmirtz eccentrics, the mans inventions range in a large list of versatile capabilities, that sadly could cause a lot of trouble in the hands of the criminal minded."

Monogram said with a grimace, "Grurururru.." Before blinking at Perry speaking up, "What do you mean might be worst than we realize?" Monogram asked with a frown..

 "Grurururururu"

"Evil bat creature?" asked Monogram in confusion

 Perry nodded and summarized a bit at what happen during the mission causing Carl and Monogram to trade concern looks, "Report back to base for a full debriefing Agent P." Monogram said with a serious scowl, "it seems that Doofenshmirtz might have gotten in over his head, and I've got a bad feeling that he'll be dragging the rest of us along for the ride."

 The platypus saluted and rushed away back to base

"Oh crumps!" Hamster called "I didnt get a answer about them hiring"

 "Hamster.." Gretel said with a frown, "What, a Hamster got to make a living...my favorite seeds don't buy themselves." He jabbed, "No, because we buy them for you." Gretel said back rolling her eyes as she and her partner made their way home.

Monogram said with a serious scowl, "it seems that Doofenshmirtz might have gotten in over his head, and I've got a bad feeling that he'll be dragging the rest of us along for the ride."

 Vanessa was in the middle of scrolling through her cellphone when she heard sounds coming from the lab.

Suspecting her dad was back she moved to meet her. Finding him tying some machine up...like a giant gift?

"Ok took a bit longer but managed to find some gift paper with potato designs" he told a big, butcher-dressed man

"Thanks doc really appreciate this again.." The man said with a eager smile,"can't wait to see dads face when he get a load of this beauty~" he added with a chuckle

"well hope he enjoy it, I also include a free fix-up every 1000 shots made with it" added the doctor before noticing Vanessa "Oh Vanessa! when did you arrive?" he called with a smile

"A little earlier though you weren't at the lab.." Vanessa explained with a shrug, "mom drop me off she's excited for that cruise, but she missed you turning a tree into a giant frenchfry though."

"Ah so she missed the test for my Inator..shame think this could help with groceries too" the doctor shrugged "still don't worry, this was my last meeting of today so once i'm done we can do some..teen stuff you like"

"sounds nice dad, but you know you don't have to force yourself out of your comfort zone just for me." she told him reassuringly with a appreciative smile..

"Bah dont worry about it, if you going to live with me until your mom returns is the least I can do" said the doctor "plus you will be helping me with my plans to at some point so its a fair exchange"

"Yeah, a promise is a promise but like I said still not sure if a career in super villainy is for me dad." Vanessa said with a sigh shaking her head..

"Bah careers don't worry, time you have to think on what you want to do" said the doctor keeping his smile "think of this like a..not paid internship so you can see what the business is about"

"Suppose that works, at the very least could be fun." Vanessa said with a nod as her dads....customer she was guessing spoke up, "Oh trust me kid nothings more thrilling than being part of the super villain industry!"

Butcher said with a beaming smile, "you just got to find your own umm...well thing." Butcher said trailing off at the end sure there was a better word to explain what he meant but he wasn't Wordgirl, "I mean your pops a evil scientist, and i'm a evil meat theme super villains, you just got to find what feels right for you.."

he added out loud with a shrug..

"Yeah but her main thing is being Goth..and think we have enough gothic villains around " said Doof scratching his head

"Um yeah that reminds me.." The Butcher gave the doc a questioning look, "What was up with the scary shadow guy?" He asked a tad nervously, "because i'm reminded of some stories about my told me about how there were some villainous peers that i'd have to be extremely cautious of if I couldn't avoid them completely.."

"Oh? who?" asked Vanessa

Doof stiffen a moment

"no one of importance, just a client with zero patience" he said quickly "yeah he might be a bit...above my pay-grade but its nothing cant handle"

That...actually caught Vanessa attention and got her concerned, "Um dad...is there something you want to tell me?" she asked with a frown..

"Ehh not really" Doof coughed "again is something of work nothing to worry your pretty little head"

Vanessa gave him a look that pretty much said she wasn't convinced before sighing out, "Alright, if you say so.." she said shaking her head, "just let me know when you're business is done so we can kick off our time together while mom's at the cruise.."

she said turning to leave with nonchalant shrug but already internally swearing she'd find out what her dad was hiding from her and why, "Nice kid.." Butcher said with a smile toward the doc who sighed in relief, "though uhhh it's not any of my business but umm getting the feeling you were lying to her when you said that guy from earlier wasn't anything to worry about."

he added with a arched brow..

Doof narrowed his eyes

"Its a personal thing..." he said "This is the part I should monologue about it....but to be honest this is not something Im ready to share" sighed the doctor "I will only siad that bat and I made a deal long ago...a deal that saved my daughter...and thats all I care about and what matters"

"Alright.." The Butcher said grabbing his purchase but giving the doc a concerned look, "it ain't any of my business but.." Butcher gave Doofs shoulder a pat, "but you be careful okay, that guy looked like one mean customer."

 Oh he didnt know how much he was right

Doof sighed as he looked in the direction Vanessa went, part of him wanted to tell her...to tell her all...yet telling her that would also mean he will need to tell her that he wasnt truly her dad.

Oh sure DNA and all was Doof´s...but soul-speaking? he wasn't Doof....he was just a soul that one day a year and so ago woke up as Heinz Doofenshmirtz in this new weird, crossover-like world.

But not only that...all the memories about the old Doof were there...including one from long ago...one memory that proved yet again how Doof for all hsi evil talk was also a good father

(Flashback)

 "So the descendant of that fool Malifishmertz comes seeking my aid.." Intoned the figure belonging to none other than the Night Master as he held a sickly looking toddler Vanessa in his arms, "Question is.."

The dark gaze honed in on Doof, "What are you willing to offer in return?" The bat asked with a dark smirk..

 "Anything you want" said Doof "My mind, my inventions, my life if you want..but please....help her" he said looking at Vanesa who now had green veins growing on her skin

"Very well.." The Night Master said with a twisted grin, "I will save her life...in return for your own.." He intoned staring at Doofenshmirtz with the doctor feeling like he was staring right at his soul, "you will serve me till the end of your days...that is the price.."

He said as his and Vanessa forms began to glow with dark energy as he held out his hand in a offered shake..

Doof gave a last look at Vanessa and took the bat´s hand.

And with that the deal was struck and while his daughter would be saved and grow up hale and healthy, Doofenshmirtz from that day forward would find himself in the service of the Night Master as one of his evil scientists providing him with all his work and inventions, while also working to build particular creations for his "master".

(End of flashback)

Even now Doof knew that he couldnt do anything against the Night Master, specially if it could affect Vanessa.

Taking care of her and protect her, was a promise he made in the memory of Doof. And he was planing on keeping that.

Of coarse he wasn't going to simply lay down like a dog, oh no...building up his business was just a first step for him in many ways, one of them get capital and range of his operation to know and learn more about this world and find ways to free himself without affecting Vanessa

he wasn't stupid, he knew this kind of deals always end badly. the fact that bat acted as if he owned him was enough to tell him the more he expend in his order the harder will be for him and for his family.

Already he had a plan in mind but he will need time and ensure his (new) daughter will be fine

 Until than he would continue to play the role he'd fallen into, while doing his best to enjoy life on the super villainy side of things, Night Master or no Night Master, he was determined to have fun and enjoy this new change at a villainous life.

(Fair city)

"Ok can you finally explain whats going on?!" Tobey called as wordgirl (or who she think was Wordgirl) dropped him inside an empty warehouse. While looking particularly disgruntled as he picked a leaf out of hair, "And why you saw not only the need to stick me on top of a pine tree, but also calling me a hero while playing pretend villain?"

He asked with a quite sour confused expression as he looked toward his nemesis/crush with crushed arms, who herself exchanged nervous glances with her monkey sidekick, "Um..don't suppose I could convince you to pretend that none of that happen could I?"

Wordgirl asked with a nervous strained grin.

"Believe me, I have such a headache by thinking this is happening but now i'm too curious" he said "whats happening? and whats with the costume?" he said "I mean..you look..really good...like the bad girl look"

He said with a cough blushing, "Oh you think so?" Wordgirl question with a blink and smile, 'I was actually a bit worried I was leaning too much into a heavy metal dystopian look with it.." she admitted as she looked herself over..

"Well...the theme fits..love your hair like that..is cute" said Tobey again checking the girl

 "Ah thanks, would you like me to tell you about how I choose the design." Wordgirl asked with Tobey giving a blink, "Well I.." he paused frowning, "Wait are you trying to distract me?" He exclaimed out with a scowl, "Ummm....no." Wordgirl answered with a strained smile causing a flat look in return, "Okay yes.."

Wordgirl said with a sigh leaning forward with a sigh arms in front of her as she looked down,"Okee eeeeh, eee!" With Captain Huggyface stepping up to pat her side speaking up, "I suppose you're right...can't just avoid the problem."

Wordgirl grumbled out as she looked at Tobey, "Alright i'll tell you what's going on, but you can't tell anyone!" she said sternly causing him to blink, "And I mean not anyone! Not your mom, not your fellow villains, not even that Exposition Guy who keeps getting lost while looking for the police station!"

 "I..ok sure i promise you.."

"SWEAR IT!" added Wordgirl "In your honor as one of my villains and..well..the only one i can tell this if being honest" she added

 "I...really the only one?" Tobey words trailed off as he gave her a surprised look while feeling a surge of warmth from the knowledge whatever she was about to share was not only big, but no one else knew!

 "sigh...yes the only one" sighed Wordgirl "I...i really need to tell this to someone and well...you are not a bad option"

"Of course not, I might be a villain my dear, but I am a man of my word.." Tobey said preening a bit as he adjusted his bow tow, "so whatever secret you have will be safe with me." he promised and actually meaning it after all this was his chance to get closer to Wordgirl and he wasn't about to blow it.

At that Wordgirl gave a sigh before nodding, "Alright the reason I was acting like that was because I was making a video to send back home to my father and sister." she explained rubbing her arm..

Tobey blinked..and blinked again

"Your father....and sister?" he said slowly "I...so..back your...home planet?"

Wordgirl flinched

"Not exactly...I mean....my adopted Earth father and sister...." she rubbed her arm "my villainous adopted earth father and sister"

At that silence filled the warehouse with Tobey giving a stunned look, "I'm sorry my dear I think I misheard you, because it sounded like you said villainous adopted Earth father and sister."

He said with Wordgirl giving a groan, "No you heard me right.." she said with a sigh, "look here's the full story when I was just a little baby I somehow crawled onto a ship back on Lexicon, and tucked myself away for a nap, with the pilot taking off without knowing I was there.."

she gestured toward Captain Huggyface who gave a wave causing Tobey to give him a startled blink, "when I woke up I apparently gave him a scare, and in the ensuing confusion the experimental hyper drive was accidentally activated sending the ship way off course half way across the galaxy where we crash landed on Earth and was found by my dad.."

Wordgirl explained with a slight frown, "I honestly don't know anything about my family back on Lexicon, or if I even have one easier to not think about it, since I have a life and grew up here on Earth."

she explained with Tobey giving a slow nod, "A few questions come to mind, like who let a baby anywhere near a space craft, and who's bright idea was it to have a monkey as the pilot!?" He exclaimed out in shock indignation, "EEEEK!" With Captain Huggyface letting off a offended cry at the second, "Oh don't look at me like that, the fact that you crashed proves i'm right."

Tobey said with a huff with Huggy giving him a incredulous glare, he'd of liked to see how Tobey would of handled having a baby pop out from under the control seat!

"ANYWAYS!" called the girl in the room "when we crashed, we ended up being found by well...my father...who gave Huggy quite the scare before he took us to his home and..well...immediately took us in no questions asked"

With Huggy letting out a scoff, "I know, I know he probably had ulterior motives considering two aliens literally landed in his back yard, and the technology he got from reverse engineering the ship didn't hurt either."

Wordgirl acknowledge with a sigh, "And I know you've got issues with him referring and treating you as my personal minion.." she said with Tobey letting out a snort with the monkey giving him a annoyed glare, "but you have to admit evil demoniac super villain mastermind or not, he did his best to always be the best dad.."

The monkey crossed his arms and huffed in disagreement

"come on Huggy don't be like that" called Wordgirl "after all the times you tried to escape while taking me with you he didn't try to you know...send you to the deepest parts of the underworld´s layers" she said in playful creepy tone "and you know he had done that for less to others"

The Monkey huffed while Tobey just gave her another shocked look, "Um ex-excuse me..but your father's done what?!" he questioned suddenly feeling nervous at the scenario where he might ever meet his potential in laws, "Ah right well....here's the thing.."

Wordgirl gave a sheepish smile, "you see dad isn't just some run of the mill villain, and he's um no offense but a breed apart from you and the other villains of Fair City." she added scratching the back of her neck, "And I don't just mean because he's one of the most successful villains on the face of the planet either."

she added in a low murmur..

"Its just..well..you guys like take over the city and have fun while doing it but never really..you know...hurt others..or at least not THAT much" she added as giant monsters, robots and Mr. Big plans... "but my dad..well...he...in a good mood could set you on an arena with hungry tigers and let you fight your way out while eating popcorn watching you"

Tobey at that paled as that imagery ran through his mind, "And there's the fact he's pretty much successful conquered a entire country to boot." Wordgirl added in with a slight thoughtful tone.

"excuse me..WHAT?!" the techno boy called out in shock

With Huggy and Wordgirl jerking back, "I'm sorry Wordgirl, but WHO exactly is your father?!" Tobey exclaimed out with the superheroine and her side kick trading nervous looks, "Well..um...to that let me ask me own question.."

she said with a slight a slight, "You um...ever heard of the Night Master?"

 "Night Master? Night Master...Night Master...wait" the techno villain looked up "the Night Master? the guy that supposedly rules Japan´s underworld? the winner of the scariest villain award for three years?"

 "What does he have to.." Tobey trailed off as he looked Wordgirl who looked a bit more awkward, "Oh....ohhhhh....oh." Tobey let out a sound of realization hitting him like a fright train, "Hes your father....and i'm getting the sense you haven't told him about you're um...shall we say more heroic viewpoint."

He added tapping his fingers together nervously

 Nervous move that Wordgirl copied

"He...thinks I'm the biggest bad girl in town..." she admitted before giving a sigh, "And the whole reason he let me come to America was because I told him I wanted to establish myself out of Japan, to build my reputation on my own merit rather than being thought of as the Night Masters daughter."

With Tobey giving her a blank stunned look once again, "when in reality you wanted to take the chance to be a hero without him finding out, while trying your best to hide it all from him." He surmise rubbing his chin, "Yes...that's...pretty much the situation in a nutshell." Wordgirl admitted with a grimace

Huggyface grunted something

"It was a good idea at the time and you agreed to it!" called out Wordgirl

"And wait does this mean.." Tobey mind went back to the earlier encounter and his eyes widen, "does your father now think I'm a hero?!" He exclaimed out, "Umm...probably yeah." Wordgirl admitted with a wince, "Sorry I panic okay!"

she called out hurriedly at Tobey look

"I didn't expect you to drop by at that moment..and I really needed to send some sort of message as I was over due and if not he could think something was wrong and come check himself!"

"And believe me the last thing anybody wants is my dad coming to town on a family visit." She added with a nervous expression

EEEKKKK

Huggy agreed before scowling the girl yet again.

"Ugg no Huggy for the last time..asking for my ship to fly away is NOT an option!"

The girl said with a scowl, "Because even if the hyper drive wasn't damaged, and you were more confident in it being able to travel to familiar territory in space..." she gave a sigh ,'I...I have a life here."

she said with a stern look, "even if the chance to go to Lexicon dropped into my lap, I don't think I could take it." she said as Tobey looked a bit uncomfortable getting the feeling he was witnessing something a bit more personal, "because evil or not...I can't just abandon dad or Yori." Wordgirl said with a frown, "they're family Huggy."

The monkey crossed his arms clearly not agreeing with her

"Urg! We're talk about this later!" Wordgirl spat out with a groan before focusing back on Tobey, "Look Tobey that's the whole story, so please! you have to help me keep this secret!"

"I..well...I mean...yeah I..i can do that" he said with a cough. he had DOZENS fo questions..but seeing the pleading face of the girl he liked he couldn't help but agree to help her in the act

"Thank you.." Wordgirl said with a relieved smile, "I..I might need your help to make some more videos...you know convince dad i've got a capable nemesis and i'm not slacking or anything." she added with a little chuckle

"yeah I mean...what you call me? Gadget Boy? how or why you thought of that?!" he scoffed...he was happy being a villain but THAT name? it was ridiculous

"Hey it's not that bad of a name." Wordgirl retorted back with a blush defensively..

 "you kidding me?! it made me sound like somebody´s sidekick!" protested Tobey "If anything I should be like...Gadget man or, Mr Roboto!"

At that Wordgirl let out a giggle ,"think of something you'll grow into~" She said as she started to hover up into the air, 'Now than.." she offered him a hand, "can this nefarious villain offer her nemesis a lift home?"

she asked with a smirk..

 "I..sigh..yes I think she can" he answered taking her hand "also can I have it in writing you declaring me your Nemesis?"

 "Heh I'll think about it " Wordgirl said back with a smirk as Huggyface jump onto her back and she took off.

While at the same time another pair of heroes were reacting to some recent revelation of their own

(Possible residence)

"So let me get this straight not only did you know about there being some companies who's entire business is selling to super villains, but you also knew about some random villain ruling Japan, and you hid it from us!?"

 Wade flinched at Kim´s tone

"Its not as much as I hid it from you but...welll"

"well that's what you did dude!" called Ron in shock

 Both Ron and Kim were sitting in the latter living room looking down at the kimmunicator Kim was holding with shocked looks their minds barely processing all of this or their own friend had tried to keep them in the dark, "O-kay look I didn't hide it....so much as not mention it to you."

Wade said giving a wince at Kims glare, "but I had a good reason!" Wade added quickly, "Oh really? Do tell.." Kim dry sarcastic tone breath out, "Well to start with companies like HenchCo or most recently Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated are well.." he trailed off looking for the right way to express this, "a bit more complicated to deal with than the usual way you're used to going about things."

 "how so? they're bad guys we're good guys, we go there kick butts end of story" said Ron with a shrug.

"and that's the issue, you cant simply go in and kick butts Ron" said the techno boy of team possible "these companies might have some shady sides but they are full established LEGAL companies, meaning you go there kicking butts you could find yourself getting arrested"

 "And not only that but but believe it or not, but apparently the CEO of Evil Incorporated has paperwork cover where right now only a designated Agent from the OWCA organization is allowed to arch him, during any mad scientist schemes he's doing on the side while running his business." Wade explained bringing up a file on Heinz Doofenshmirtz and said paperwork contracts.

 "you kidding..tell me he is kidding" said Ron to Kim

"I want to say yes but..." she gave the document a quick scan "you telling me these guys are doing criminal work..legally?!"

"ehhh wouldn't say exactly legal it's kinda of a gray area in the matter of law." Wade said giving a cough, "but for the most part....yes." He admitted with a sigh.

"I..ok explain to me how!" called the teen heroine with a headache

"again complicated, but the danger-level of the great majority of Doofenshmirtz´s machines could be considered low or none existence because what they suppose to be simply sounds...ridiculous" said Wade

"What do you mean?" Ron asked with a confused expression

"I mean...for some example a machine that create ice-cream...a machine that makes you want something badly...a machine that let you control..pigeons?" he listed

Kim and Ron traded looks, "Okay first of all would love that first one." Ron said with a eager smile, "Ice cream yum!" Cheer out Rufus crawling onto his shoulder, "Secondly you sure this guy's a threat?"

He added with a scratch of his head, "or the same guy that provided Senior with that machine, because that was certainly on a different level to what you're listing." Kim stated with a frown

"And here's where things get complicated again." Wade gave a sigh sipping on his soda, "First off for all his inventions that sound silly and nonsensical, there's those that not only stand out but show that Doofenshmirtz is probably one of the best master inventors in mad Science around."

 "for example the Rust-inator cause any type of metal to simply gain rust" explained Wade showing the image of the machine (some drier-shaped machine with a copper color scheme) "doesn't seems like that much..until someone used it to literal rust to dust the vault door of a bank taking all the money away"

he changed to another "or how about the weed-inator? it can make weeds grow up without control..doesn't seem dangerous..until a police chase of some escapee that, somehow, managed to buy it...it took three days to find and rescue the cops after he use it to turn an entire field into a weed jungle that he used as cover to escape"

he changed now to show a metal-looking mirror "or my favorite, the face-changer-inator...literal it could change how your face looks to others, some thief used it to stole a museum and the cops arrested some random guy later that day cause the faces were identical"

 "And there's plenty more that I could name.." Wade said with a frown, "Even some of the most harmless sounding inventions can be used to commit crimes."

 Both members of Team Possible paused at this..those sounded ridiculous yet their power was anything but a joke.

"and you have to take into account that even the less threatening of Doofenshmirtz inventions are impressive from a scientific standpoint." Wade admitted with a grimace, "I mean this guy's work is not only unpredictable, but it seems like he can create no limit to these inators."

 "Just look at this" he then showed a video of a large muscular man in red suit and a black domino mask...running up against an electric stair going down?

"Isn't that Mr. Incredible?" asked Ron in awe.

"yeap..after he was hit with the going down-electric-scalator inator" said Wade "who literal turned any stair into an electric stair going down"

 "This starting to get really annoying!" Called out the hero in question with apparent frustration

Team Possible blinked

"Ok whats going on?!" called Kim

"Simple, have you ever tried going up against an electric stair going down? its impossible even for a superhero" said Wade "and Im not saying it, it literal was on the instruction manual they found days later at that villain´s hideout"

"Luckily while the the device ended up destroyed, the effects of that particular inator were temporary lasting only a few days after last exposure. " Wade explained typing on his keyboard, "though certainly made things inconvenient for Mr. Incredible to say the least.."

He said with a shake of his head, "but point is really think about it.." he looked at his friend, "one hit with a ray than any set of stairs you touch turns into electric stair going down, do I really need to explain how mind boggling that is?! I've gone nuts trying to figure out how that could work from a scientific stand point!"

Kim and Ron shared a look never having seen Wade so..put off by something.

"Ok..you have a point there" said Kim "so we can't go simply beat this Doof guy, annoying ok..but what's he got to do with this super villain in japan you didn't want to tell us about?"

"Well for starters he's doing business with him, or might actually be working for him...which considering who we're talking about wouldn't be surprising.."

Wade admitted with a sigh bringing up the same file footage that OWCA had shown up Agent P with the symbol of Evil Incorporated highlighted, "And there's a good reason why I didn't tell you about the Night Master.."

Wade said with a grimace leaning back knowing he had to bite the bullet, "it was for your own guys own safety."

That made both teams raise an eyebrow

"what do you mean Wade?" asked Kim

"yeah we fight villains all the time and I end up in fire most of those fights so whats to worry about?" asked Ron

 At this Wade gave a uncomfortable, "Look...sigh you guys we do a lot of good.." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck, "but...well there's a scale of villainy in the villain underworld.."

Wade said as he began to put up certain statistics and a Letter Chart that familiar names and faces listed, "and notice where some familiar faces fall on that scale."

"Frugal Lucre low F Class, Duff Killigan mid C-Class, Seniors high C-Class huh guess money talks?" Ron muttered out blinking as he processed the names..

"Drakken low B-Class, Monkey Fist low B-Class, Shego...you've got to be kidding me.." Kim muttered out

"Low A? is that like having an -A in math? good but not that good?" asked Ron

 Kim feeling a sense of growing disbelief ignored him focusing on two recent names she focused on, "O-kay so Shego despite being the one that always puts up the best fight against me apparently only makes the cut to a low A. While that Doof guy is above Drakken as a high B-list, and the Night Master is.." she trailed off her eyes widening, "A S-Tier villain.."

Wade explained with a wince sighing

 "yeah...sorry to say this Kim, but he is way pass your paycheck to go against" said Wade "as in...this is superhero territory-only kind of villain"

"Okay look so my villains aren't the highest ranked that doesn't mean I can't handle this creep." Kim retorted back with a sense of disbelief, "I mean come on this whole ranking system is probably just some criminal popularity contest."

she spouted out with a scowl with Ron and Rufus giving her worried looks, "Kim i'm being serious the Night Master is not someone you should ever risk meeting." Wade said on the screen with a stern look, "Its why i've always made sure all missions anywhere near Japan are declined.." He muttered out before freezing as Kim glare suddenly got stronger, "You've been doing what?!"

Wade flinched

"Ok..maybe should have mentioned that before" he said "But listen Kim I'm not the only one worry about you crossing paths here" he called "Director Betty also agrees with me that sending you to Japan would be close to suicide..not even she sends her agents near that place anymore"

 Kim just gave him a incredulous look, "And since we're being honest it's not like Japan the only place been making sure you don't go near to.." he admitted with a sigh, "The Night Master is regarded among the criminal elite and some call him the worlds most successful super villain, but he's not the only villain to reach S-Tier status."

 "For example there is Townsville who suffer giant monster attacks almost on the daily and who has this guy" show image of a red demon with pincers for hands floating on a pink cloud

 "And what am I looking at?" Kim asked warily something about this guy unnerved her and wasn't the fact he was a crossdresser she didn't judge, "Scary!" Rufus whimpered, "Yeah getting bad vibes.." Ron admitted with a frown

"Meet His Infernal Majesty otherwise known as HIM." Wade explained with a grim tone, "Data on this guys history isn't much, but by all accounts he's a literal demon who for a while has been regarded as the most feared super villain in Townsville, and seems to have made his mission to spread as much evil as possible and do anything he can to end any force of good with the Powerpuff Girls being his main target."

 "Demon?!" cried Kim "as literal Demon?!"

"yeah, and lets just say we must be thankful he seems quite..entertained with the PPG to try luck somewhere else" said Wade before giving a grimace, "And even then he's still done quite a bit of damage or caused some trauma, like when he pretty much brain washed the entire town and set them off against the Powerpuff Girls forcing them to beat on the very citizens they've done their best to protect."

he added showing video footage of said incident causing Team Possible to give a wince at what they were seeing.

 "Ok..mind control is already scary..but the entire city?!" exclaimed Ron

"creepy laugh" said Rufus hiding inside the pocket of his friend

 Kim actually looked unnerved ever since starting the teen heroine career she'd fought plenty of creeps and villains but she can't say Shego much less Drakken had ever intimidated her even when they had the upper hand...this guy...yeah she was actually getting a chill just by watching him.

"And the other incidents he had his pincer in aren't any better." Wade chimed with a grimace before giving a sigh, ""And if you want another S-Class example than there's Sartana of the Dead the literal undead skeleton who's risen to the top of the spicy cesspool of crime and villainy that's Miracle City."

 Next appeared the vid of a literal female skeleton dressed in a mariachi outfit and a guitar. One stroke of it and a laser was shot blowing an entire building, another and an army of bandido skeletons raised from the ground.

 With Kim, Ron, and Rufus watching with wide eyes ,'And considering Miracle City has one of the highest crime rates and level of super villain activity in the world that's saying something."

Wade said with a sigh, "Doesn't help what records we've been able to dig up on her implies she might actually be the daughter of Xibalba and La Muerte themselves, who was cast out and stripped of her godhood but still packs plenty of power to become one of the worst threats around."

"Uh who?" Ron asked confused

 "Old gods of the great beyond and death" said Kim "I got some Spanish classes sometime ago and learned some myths"

 "But more to the point i'm getting the point you're trying to make.." Kim said with a sigh her look screaming resignation and frustration ,'but what about the Night Master? What makes him as bad as these creeps?"

she asked with a frown, "Well outside of ruling not just Japan's criminal underworld but the country itself.." Wade stated with a flat look before sighing, "I wasn't kidding when I said he was a super level threat..'

He said grimacing, "in fact when he first started taking control Japans native heroes like E-Male or Seventh Samurai tried to stop him only.." He looked away rubbing his face, "It...didn't go well."

"Not well as..." Ron asked

"As this happened to Samurai" he showed the image of an iron statue of a samurai "and let me be clear THAT'S not a statue the Night Master had made...THAT'S the Samurai"

"Oh that is sick and wrong!" Ron exclaimed out with Kim sharing the shock, "He turned him into a statue!" Kim exclaimed out, "Yep.." Wade said grimly, "and than apparently set him up in one of Tokyo's national parks with a plaque that reads, Foolish Samurai that opposed the vast darkness."

He said bringing up another image of the petrified form in a nature park....covered in bird poop.

Rufus actually got green seeing that

"Ok that's wrong! that's very very wrong!" called Ron in fright

 "And no ones tried to help him?! I mean...he's still alive...right?" Kim asked cautiously, "On the latter no one knows, and considering the speculation on the awareness of his state he might have if still alive, not sure which answer would be preferable."

Wade said with a uncomfortable look, "As for trying to help well like I said Global Justice watches but avoids stepping foot on Japan, Night Master keeps a iron grip on the populace, and even other heroes who have fought him outside of Samurai and E-Male are cautious enough to avoid going right into the heart of his Empire."

 Kim frowned not liking how this sounded

"ok the guy is scary and dangerous but you make it sound like he is invincible" she scoffed

 "invincible might be a stretch, but this guys proven he's not someone to mess around with." Wade said with a groan realizing that Kim pride was starting to raise up and he had to do something before she did something risky and crazy.

 "Look Kim, im sorry I hid this from you, but as your friend the last thing I want is you to end up biting off more than you can chew" he said "you are a great heroine, and have helped and saved multiple people. But even you have a limit and that limit is the Night Master"

 "If you don't believe me while footage of the guy is hard to find we do have footage of him fighting Major Glory." Wade said tapping into the keyboard

 In the image was shown a city in flames, building crumbling, sky red and smoked.

Then an explosion followed by a red and blue figure crashing onto another building. Lasers being shot to the smoke being responded by purple meteors as a giant monstrous figure appeared.

 "Um is that?" Ron gave the video a nervous look as Wade voice spoke over it grimly, "The Night Master.." As a silhouetted figure with evil red glowing eyes swatted at the figure flying and darting all around around managing to score a hit before sending out a attack of eye beams.

 Two dark wings intercepted the attack like a shied before a demonic screech was heard and a cloud of bats began surrounding the other figure

"In the name of Justice and Truth, I shall not cower!"

The screech of an eagle was heard and an explosion taking the shape of a star followed and the blue, white and red figure tackled the Master out the sky into another building that collapsed on them.

Silence standing for a moment before a explosion sounded out and two figure one now human sized were send bursting out of the same building grappling against each other..

"You can fight all you want villain!" called the figure that now Ron knew was none other than Major Glory one of if not THE most popular and known super hero of all "At the end justice and liberty will win!"

However in return dark chilling laughter filled the air, "Poetic but ultimately a lie~ Justice and Liberty are nothing but illusions to make the meaningless rabble believe they can survive in this world!"

 Both continue to try to over-power the other; the effort actually seems to crack the ground under them.

 Before the silhouetted figure let out a screech that filled the air and caused Major Glory to flinch back releasing the grapple with the shadow figure than launching a energy attack from his hands straight at him.

 The hero just had enough time to cross his arms in X in front of him to tank the attack and be pushed several meters away

 Leaving the silhouetted figure to end the attack but fall back and plummet straight down to the ground where rather than splat against the ground he instead seemed to dive into the shadows like one would a pool of water, "Show yourself you fiend!"

Major Glory bellowed down on guard before the shadows seemed to wreath and move all around him before shooting up and coming alive!

The hero tuned shooting his laser vision to it tying to get him to release him

But while his vision hit some of the shadow tentacles others managed to grab and grip onto him and attempt to drag him down to the ground with his form sinking into the shadows under him as if it was quicksand.

 The hero struggle against his bonds until he was neck-deep into the shadows

 With demoniac silhouette raising out of the shadows in front of him looming down at him with those red eyes, "It's over fool! You shall learn like many others the price for defying the Night Master!"

 "the only fool is you thinking you can beat liberty and JUSTICE!!" called the hero flexing his muscles and breaking out

 As he managed to shoot out of the ground and tackling the Night Master back as he let out a hiss resuming their earlier grapple, "O-kay this is one of the coolest things i've ever seen."

Ron admitted as the video played out watching stunned, "But hows it end with this guy avoiding prison bars?" Kim chimed in her eyes narrowed analyzing every moment of this fight.

 "well..lets just said he is feared for a reason" said Wade as in the video suddenly the creature made someone float up to him showing the hero something in the person´s neck

"What trickery is this!?" Major Glory demanded as the Night Master gave a malicious chuckle, "A ruler must do anything to keep order in his kingdom, which means keeping his subject in line."

he said with his eyes flashing with sinister glee, "These ruins happen to be spread across Japan on a large majority of the populace." He explained staring down the hero, "When activated well lets just say they'll get a nasty surprise like Seventh Samurai~"

"he what?!" called Kim

"he basically put a dead-man switch in an unknown number of people" said Wade "the moment he gets defeated or sealed, the moment those will activate"

"And what happens when it activates." Ron asked with a pale expression as Wade look grim, "no ones really sure theories range from getting turned to stone, being turned into a monster, banished from this plain of reality, to simply them blowing up."

he admitted with a sigh, "needless to say no ones exactly eager to call his bluff." He remarked as the video showed Major Glory clenched his fists, "This isn't over.."

The hero swore glaring at the Night Master, "one day you will face justice for what you've done, and the people of this land will once again enjoy the sweet taste of freedom!"

He declared with the Night Master giving off a chuckle, "Perhaps, but that day isn't today." He remarked his eyes showing nothing but cruel amusement as he dropped the citizen to the ground with them immediately fleeing in fear, "Now fly away little hero~ Fly away and remember who stood victorious this day."

Night Master said as he slink off disappearing into the shadows with a chilling laugh.

"to make things worst, those seals are..well..invisible...he made them like that so no one could know who has them so we're not sure to where even look for to make studies or anything" added Wade "and the one that appeared? he was intercepted in a secret operation but revealed the Night Master removed his seal to put it on another person or so he said"

'So it could either be one major bluff, or he could be serious, and no one wants to take the risk if he's serious." Kim surmised with a sigh..

"exactly..that's also why no hero is allowed in Japan..at least not in an open, one vs one kind of way" said Wade

 "And this guy been ruling Japan for years because of all of this." Kim stated with a frown, "Afraid so, and now do you see why you need to avoid this guy?"

He asked with a pleading look toward Kim, "It's bad enough that you're remotely on his radar after a fight with one of his followers, last thing we need is you getting his personal attention."

 Kim crossed her arms in anger at this, yes the guy was...scary tough..and yes he seems like the one type of villain she could have issues dealing with..but still...

"and him giving his followers to do work for other villains is not a sign he might be wanting to expand beyond Japan?" she asked

 Wade at that gave a wince and looked away, "Wade.." her eyes gave a stern glare, "Exactly how many times have his goons been reported outside of Japan?"

 "Ehh a good, couple..of dozen times?" said the boy with a nervous smile

 "Wade!" Kim exclaimed out her eyes glaring, "I'm sorry it's just.." Wades were cut off, "that you don't think I can handle them! That I should play it safe with villains that can't cut it in the big leagues?"

Kim asked with a scowl

 "Kim this is not some big league this is like the COLOSSAL big one that no one is truly fit for unless you can fly into space without a suit" called the tech boy

 "I handled his goon, and i've handled Shego plenty of times despite her own powers!" Kim shot back scowling part of her seeing Wade's point, but another point hating the lack of faith in her capability, and the fact that this guy and his goons are all but running amok with no one stopping them.

 "and no one is saying they weren't difficult but neither of them have an entire country on its knees nor have forced someone that could carry a bus with one hand across the sea in one second to surrender"

Kim scowled at that, "maybe Wade's got a point.." Ron said

Kim rounded at him.

"I mean...we kinda have a good thing going on...I mean..you don't see Drakken fighting us like..well..THAT no taking hostages threatening to blow them up, nor making doomsday machines..."

"But we started this to make a difference to help people Ron!" Kim snipped back as she stood up, "instead I find out we've just been putting out camp fires while the entire forest was blazing out of sight."

she said taking a deep breath, "I...need some time to think." she said with a frown but shot Wade a scowl, "but let me make it clear there will be no more screening or hiding any mission requests from me!" she said with a stern glare, "And I want everything you have on that Smoke girl or any other follower that Night Master has."

she said with a scowl her next words cutting off Wade's reply, "I've already fought against Smoke once, who's to say I won't run into her or any of the Night Maters henchmen in the future Wade."

Wade flinched

"I...fine..very well..." he said in defeated tone "but Kim..please...don't do anything risky or stupid"

 "Don't worry i'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself. " Kim said before cutting off the call while taking a deep breath trying to calm down, "Kinda harsh there don't you think KP?" Ron asked nervously with Rufus on his shoulder, "I mean he was just trying to look out for us."

He said with Kim giving off a angry scowl, "While hiding all these secrets from us and keeping us in the dark!"

"I mean yeah but..think this is the kind of secrets that do need to be keep until..well..we are ready" he said cause sure he had helped Kim beat villains but he didn't feel they were read to face someone like that bat monster.

 "And when would that be? Because it sounded like Wade intended us to be kept in the dark forever."

 "Ummm maybe...on our birthday?" he asked not feeling comfortable with this

 Kim sighed shaking her head, "I think I need to go for a walk clear my head." she said rubbing her eyes..

 "I umm want me to go with..."

"alone Ron" added the girl with a tired look mixed with frustration, "Right...well here when you need me." He said with a weak grin, "And appreciate it Ron." Kim said before giving a sigh,"At least I can count on you not to keep secrets." she said with a mutter as she left the living room heading toward the front door.

 "Man..this is mess up" said on with a sigh and Rufus petting him trying to calm him

 "just need time." his buddy chirp out patting hm on the cheek,"hope you're right buddy." Ron said with a sigh, "still..' he shook his head, "can't believe never knew about any of this."

 Still he gets what Wade was doing, Kim was always one to jump into action and if they had heard this before there was no doubt she would try to do something like go fight that bat thing off the bat

 He just hoped for once she wouldn't bite off more than she could handle.

 (The city of Townsville)

"I cant believe this happened again!" Buttercup called in anger as the trio of heroines floated back home, burn marked, tired and frustrated "How is that Princess...PRINCESS MORBUCKS is out-staging us!!!?"

"It'd would help if you two spent as much time fighting the monster as you did arguing." Bubbles chimed in with a annoyed tone

Honestly..when did she became the responsible/mature one?

"Yes Buttercup, if you haven't spend so much time arguing and fighting my plans this wouldn't have happened..again!" said Blossom making Bubbles facepalm..she didn't say their sister´s name at all.

"Well if you hadn't spent so much time overthinking every single thing than maybe we could of actually done something before that brat stepped in!" Buttercup snapped back with a scowl.

"I dont overthink Buttercup, I just plan accordingly!" called Blossom "as a leader is my responsibility to..."

"Oh and here we go, again with Im the leader speech" scoffed Buttercup "I don't know how that bow fits your inflated head!"

"Excuse me!?" Blossom snapped with a affronted look, "you heard me, and being leader isn't as big of a deal as you think considering even Bubbles could lead better than you!"

GASP!

"Hey don't pull me into this" called the blue Puff seeing her siblings were about to start another fight

"Girls!" But were interrupted by a new voice calling out with a stern tone, "Professor!" They greeted out in surprise to their father and creator Professor Utonium addressing them with a stern look, "what's with all this arguing?"

"Oh nothing just Buttercup being a stubborn troglodyte!" called Blossom

"yeah nothing but Blossom being a barking big headed dog!!!" yelled Buttercup back

 "Oh yeah! Well you're a.." Blossom words were cut off, "Girls! That's enough!" The Professor called with a stern voice and glare, "i'm not sure where this behavior is coming from, but you should know by now that fighting amongst yourselves will never solve anything!" he said shaking his head in disappointment.

 "tsk you know what you right" said Buttercup "best thing to do is not be in the same space as this bug breath!" she called before flashing away into the house.

"My breath doesn't smell bad!!!" yelled Blossom

 As this played out the Professor and Bubbles traded looks before the former sighed out, "Blossom.." He said gently, "What?! She started it!" Blossom protested but at her sister and father look she frowned, "Come on tell me...what's this really all about?" the Professor asked gently.

 The pink Puff pouted

"she never listens!" she ends up yelling "she charges in like a truck, no plan no nothing and never listen when I try to come with something"

The professor sighed

"you and her have been like that since day one" he said "but thought you have managed to reach some middle ground" he added "please tell me whats really going on?"

At that Blossom frowned before sighing, "I guess...we're just frustrated lately.." she admitted with a frown crossing her arms ,"lately with all these strange monster attacks and how it's princess always saving the day something doesn't add up."

she said with a scowl, "plus whenever we try to stop the attack we all just end up arguing."

"Umm" the professor frowned "it seems..you girls are reaching your limit" he said "I know you take your responsibility quite seriously...but have you thought maybe it would be a good idea you girls take a break?"

"What?!" Blossom and Bubbles gave him a shocked look, "But Professor Townsville needs us!" Blossom protested, "Yeah! The city would burn down with a huge crime wave if we tried taking a break!"

Bubbles chimed in wide eyed

"that was before when you were the only heroes around" he answered "sigh...i know you and the princess don't see eye to eye but she seems to be doing a good job so..maybe you could let her take care of things for a bit?"

 "Are you loco!" Bubbles yelped out, "Yeah this is probably some kinda scheme of hers!" Blossom called out, "yeah she's nothing but a fraud like Major Man!"

Bubbles said with a nod, "Yeah she.." At that Blossom froze her eyes widening before she stated slowly speaking, "Bubbles say that again." she said softly prompting a confused blink from Bubbles and the Professor, "Um..she's a fraud like Major Man?"

Bubbles asked more than stated as Blossom eyes went half lidded, "I can't believe it...we're idiots." she groaned out face palming, "Blossom?" The Professor asked curiously, "The attacks, her saving the day, it's all Princess! She's setting everything up like Major Man did to make herself out to be a hero!"

Blossom exclaimed out in frustration unable to believe they hadn't seen it before.

 "Ohhh you might be right!" said Bubbles "Although how would she do it? its not like monsters care about money?"

"No but Princess has resources to get them things that might interest them." Blossom reason with a frown, "unless she's called in some kinda favor from HIM or something." she added with a slight scowl.

the Professor frowned..that was...a plausible theory..although the idea of that girl doing something like calling a favor from that demon..he thought she was smarter than that

"its not a bad theory Blossom...but lets try to accuse anyone without proof please" he said

"He's right.." Bubbles agreed giving a slow nod, "if we just try accusing her she'll just paint us as being jealous." She pointed out, "Which is why we need to find proof." Blossom agreed with a sigh before frowning, "though first we should get Buttercup than come up with a plan."

"umm I dont think she is in the mood now" said Bubbles knowing that once her sisters fight they wont talk to each other for a while

"and its late today" said the professor "you can plan anything tomorrow but for now I think resting it will be the best for all of you"

"I..." Blossom was going to protest but at the Professor look she sighed, "okay..' she said with a sigh, "We'll wait." she said with a frown

"dont worry Blossom if you are right I'm sure you three will be able to reveal the truth and everything will be ok" he said with a smile

 "Hope so.." Blossom sighed out as she floated up to head to the Puff's shared bedroom.

 "ummm Bubbles" the professor called out "you think she is right? about Princess?"

 "Not sure.." Bubbles admitted with a frown, "but it's not something i'd put past her." she admitted with a nod.

 "Ummm I'm more concern about your sisters fighting so often...has it been a recent thing?" he asked again

 "Um I.." Bubbles paused in thought before frowning, "it started at the same time as the attacks and Princess started acting like a hero." she realized frowning as that timing was more than suspicious to say the least.

 "Ummm maybe need to give you girls a check up before anything" said the Professor "i will review some data I have...you go take a break too Bubbles"

"Right.." Bubbles said with a smile, "i'm going to have a nice bubble bath~" she said with a eager giggle

 The Professor let himself also laugh at the pun as both walked into the house

 Though internally already planning to do his part to try to help them with this latest problem.
