#kimmunicator

A Real-Life Working Kimmunicator Smart Device from Kim Possible.

Made by the excellent WonderstoneUS (who you would remember from here if I’d finished the Pip-Boy list..I’m working on it.)

do you mean when a character magically possesses all the skills and/or knowledge/equipment necessary to complete a task?

like...wade having every gadget for kim imaginable? or every gadget can do what's necessary despite defying scientific explanation?

or another fandom... bbc sherlock, he knows everything about everything no matter what the circumstance? and the original book canon holmes as well, pretty much...

well, for characters for whom it makes sense? like sherlock holmes and kim possible, the latter's tag line literally being "she can do anything." yeah for those chars and situations, it makes sense to me. that's kind of essential to who they are. just like how mcgyver or the a-team can finagle their way out of any situation.

when it's totally out of character it might break the magic for me. like if ron suddenly had vast knowledge of ancient mesoamerican mythology to get them out of some pyramid of death traps and is reading the heiroglphys... or if drakken suddenly had a mastery of ballroom dance or could speak fluent fuzhonese... impossible? no. wayyy out of left field? yeah, yeah it is.

and like i said, if it breaks the magic...then is it worth including? if it suddenly feels like "not the character" or "not the show/story" whether part of canon or fanfic... that's when i'd start wondering if it's worth it.

but, that's the challenge in good writing, whether for screen/animation or books/fanfic... a good writer will convince you without breaking the magic. and that's what i look for. i want to be drawn deeper into the magic of a world. i guess that's how i feel about it.

Soon enough, the entire group arrived within a massive computer room. Above them, there was a huge balcony containing the master computer. From there, Drakken and Shego stood on the balcony and looked down at them with conceited grins on their faces. Kim and Ratchet stood before them with all of their friends standing behind them. They both had serious looks on their faces. Drakken: “Ah, Kim Possible! And…cat alien boyfriend!” Ratchet: “OK! I’m really getting sick of you calling me that, Drakken!” Drakken: “So, good of you and your alien friends to have arrived here!” Lilo: “Um…I’m not an alien.” Ron: “Um, me neither.” Yori: “I am also not an extra terrestrial.” Rufus: “Ditto.” Drakken: “Bah! Whatever! I’m just acknowledging the arrival of you and your friends, whether they be alien or otherwise!!!”

Shego slapped herself on the forehead. Drakken: “Now then, as I was saying, the final stage of our master plan will be complete and soon, the entire Universe will be ours to control!!” Kim: “We so won’t let that happen, Drakken.” Ratchet: “Yeah, in case you haven’t noticed, Wade has already been shutting down all of your systems.” Drakken: “Hmph! That may be so, but we have a way to counteract that!” Clank: “And how do you intend to do that, Drakken?” Drakken: “I am sure you are aware that our EMP projector is capable of controlling any and all forms of technology.” Kim: “Yeah, we already know that; that’s why we’re here: to put a stop to that before you would even have the chance to do that.” Drakken: “And we can target any planet we want.” Ratchet: “What are you getting at, Drakken?” Drakken: “Ah…!”

He paused for a moment. Drakken: “What…was I getting at, Shego?”

Shego slapped herself on the forehead again. Shego: “Let’s just say that we have picked out another first target as opposed to our original plan.” Drakken: “Ah, yes! That! And I am certain that you have already guessed that our original target was Earth!!” Kim, Ratchet: “We know!!!” Drakken: “Well, in spite of a lot of our machines shutting down, we still have enough time to target 1 planet; one that, if we could successfully aim our EMP at, will be able to turn all of this back into our favor.” Qwark: “And that planet would be, vile villains?” Drakken: “Well, it would be the one planet that contains technology so advanced and could not be found anywhere else in the galaxy.”

Everyone stood silent for a bit. Qwark: “Terachnos!” Shego: “No, you idiot! We’re referring to technology that isn’t from this galaxy!” Qwark: “Ohhhhhh!! Earth!!!” Talwyn: “Uh, they just said that they’re turning away from targeting that planet, remember?” Qwark: “Oh! Right! Well, of course, Earth technology is far too behind on the times that it’s incredibly primitive! As if humans are capable of building anything massively advanced.” Kim, Ratchet, Clank, Ron, Yori, Talwyn: “QWARK!!!” Qwark: “What? It’s true, you know!”

Stitch growled at him. Kim: “Qwark? Just…please…stop.” Clank: “Hm…the only other planet that I could think of that has incredibly advanced technology beyond any from this galaxy would be this one, but…oh, no! Could…could this be…?” Drakken: “That’s right, metal man!! This planet has become our new primary target!! Um…I think? Shego, is that right? This planet is being targeted by the EMP projector?”

Shego placed her hand on her forehead as she grunted. Shego: “Yes, Drakken, that’s what the Head Honcho of this operation told us to do!” Drakken: “Um…how does that work again? Gah! Why do these things have to be so dang complicated!?! Oh, well, it doesn’t matter. The point is that our master plan will continue and soon, the Universe will be ours!!!”

He let out another maniacal laughter. Ratchet: “We won’t let that happen!!” Drakken: “Oh, we’ll see about that. I think everyone else has held all of you off long enough, so now, we are nearly ready!!”

Soon enough, all of the machinery reacted at once. Computer voice: “EMP projector activate. First target confirmed: planet Loberance. EMP projector charging. 5 minutes till full charge.”

Kim switched on the Kimmunicator. Kim: “Wade! They’re charging the EMP projector and aiming directly towards this planet!” Wade: “I’m already aware of that, Kim. If the EMP were to come in contact with the planet, it could recharge the machines and reverse the shut down procedure.” Ratchet: “Apparently, you didn’t see this coming.” Wade: “Of course not. It took me till just now to recognize this.” Kim: “Is there anything you can do to stop this?” Wade: “I can hack into the system with the help of the transmitter that I’ve uploaded directly into the infobot, but I won’t be able to shut down the EMP projector in time.” Ratchet: “Well, that’s just great.” Wade: “I could, however, use this to our advantage. Hang on, let me work on something.” Clank: “You must hurry, Wade; we do not have much time.” Wade: “I’m working on it, Clank!” Drakken: “Give it up! You can’t win against us this time!” Ratchet: “It’s not over, yet, Drakken! We still have a chance to thwart you!” Wade: “Guys!” Kim: “What is it, Wade?” Wade: “I’ve found a way to tip the scales back in our favor, but I need you guys to make sure they don’t find out about what I plan on doing.”

Drakken was heard cackling again. Drakken: “Still think you can foil our plans? You won’t take us THAT easily!!!”

Just then, there was a massive tremble. Ratchet: “Wha-! What’s going on!?!”

From there, the entire chamber split in half. The group was separated from Drakken and Shego by a metallic wall. Before they knew it, they were standing in front of a massive shuttle. Kim: “What the…?” Ron: “WHOA!!” Yori: “Oh, my!!” Wade: “Guys! I’m picking up a massive disruptor within that shuttle!” Ratchet: “That’s not good. The master controls of the EMP projector are on that shuttle!”

The shuttle then lifted up and flew off. Wade: “You’ve got to bring down that massive ship before the EMP reaches the planet or we’re finished!!” Ratchet: “Right, then there’s no time to lose. Talwyn! Qwark! Let’s get back to our ships and bring down that thing!” Ron: “Hey! What about the rest of us!?!” Yori: “Stoppable-San! Their downfall that is much too small for them to foresee…” Ron: “Oh, right, that.” Qwark: “That’s right, you kids know what to do.” Talwyn: “We’ll meet back with you guys as soon as we bring down that massive shuttle.” Kim: “Let’s go, you guys.”

It was a dark and stormy night. It was also a fierce night, so fierce that not even a monster of a child's worst nightmare would be crazy enough to set out at a night like this. Oh, did I mention there were werewolves? Well, there weren't any, but that's not the point! What's important was something happened that night.

I believe it was precisely 1 AM when Kim Possible's arch-enemies, Dr. Drakken and Shego broke into the space center where Kim's father works. Drakken: "Come on, come on, where is it?" Shego: "OK…what exactly are we looking for?" Drakken: "You'll know when we find it, so just keep quiet!"

He kept searching until he shouted in excitement, which startled Shego. Drakken: "I FOUND IT! I FOUND IT, SHEGO!"

He held up what appeared to be a small device. Shego: "Great…what is it?" Drakken: "This, Shego, is Dr. Possible's secret project: the ISSF, Impossible Space Station of the Future!" Shego: "That thing, a space station? You have got to be kidding me." Drakken: "It may look unimpressive now, but believe me, it's a lot more than it seems. You see, Dr. Possible had been working on this project since he was still in high school. With this space station, I can finally rule the world!"

Shego seemed less than pleased from hearing this. Shego: "I hope you have a brilliant plan to go along with this because every time you come up with another "take over the world" scheme, Possible and her goofy sidekick, what's his name, always barge in, kick our butts and have us thrown in JAIL!" Drakken: "Don't worry, Shego. Things will be different this time. With this space station, Kim Possible will not be able to know where we are."

Shego was puzzled. Shego: "OK, I still have no idea what your "brilliant plan" is." Drakken: "Think about it. Why does Kim Possible always beat us? There's something that causes her to do so and do you know what that is?" Shego: "Well, let's see, not telling her our evil plan didn't work, putting her into "impossible to escape" deathtraps didn't work, either, trying to keep her out of our not-so-secret hideouts have been complete failures." Drakken: "THAT'S IT, SHEGO!" Shego: "OK, what? Are you telling me…that this space station is going to be…our new secret base?" Drakken: "Yes, that's exactly right! In the past, Kim Possible had always managed to defeat us because our previous bases have been too easy for her to find. But with this, we'll be someplace where she won't even be able to find us." Shego: "Oh, no, don't tell me, we're going to be in space, are we?" Drakken: "No, we won't."

Shego brought out of sigh of relief. Drakken: "We're going to be in another galaxy and one that Kim Possible has never even heard of!"

Shego slapped herself on the forehead. Drakken: "What?" Shego: "OK, hello! That's still outer space." Drakken: "Oh, right...well, whatever. The point is that Kim Possible doesn't know about it and we will be THERE! So let's go!" Shego: "What? Now? You mean during this storm? Shouldn't we wait until the storm has passed?" Drakken: "And risk having to leave in the morning when everyone is awake? No way! We leave now! Besides, this space station is weather-proof so it won't be damaged by this storm when we lift off. Come on, Shego, we have what we need."

Drakken walked off. Shego: "(sigh) I don't even know why I stay with you sometimes."

She walked off after him.

Outside, Drakken turned on the small device which instantaneously morphed into a massive space station, stepped in with Shego and blast off. As they leave Earth's atmosphere, Drakken was laughing maniacally. Shego just kept looking out the window, trying to face away from Drakken. Shego: "Seriously, I don't know why I hang around with you."

They spent a long trip flying through space. They eventually stopped in an unknown galaxy. Drakken stopped laughing, surprised when he noticed that the entire space station has stopped. Drakken: "Wow, that was fast."

Shego pulled down her glove and checked on her watch that she's been wearing underneath. Shego: "Hm, it's 3 AM and on the same day. You weren't kidding when you said that this space station is called "Impossible". This thing is beyond extraordinary." Drakken: "But of course, Shego. But where are we?"

Shego checked on a nearby monitor. Shego: "Hm…well, from what I can tell on this monitor, we're in some sort of galaxy called…" Drakken: "I don't care! All that matters is we're in some place that Kim Possible knows nothing about! Come, Shego, we have work to do."

Drakken walked off. Shego: "Hm, alright, Dr. D., you're the mad genius here."

She walked off after him.

Meanwhile, not too far from the space station, there was a space cruiser with 2 other beings on board it. One being was an animal-like humanoid, the other was a robot. Those 2 go by the name Ratchet and Clank. Ratchet, the animal-like humanoid, noticed the space station since the exact moment of its arrival. Clank, the robot, seemed concerned and walked over towards the window that Ratchet was looking out of. Clank: "Ratchet, you seemed troubled. Is there something the matter?" Ratchet: "Clank, that space station arrived over there just recently. It seems to also be a space shuttle of sorts. I…I've never seen anything like it." Clank: "Hm…that does seem peculiar, but not unheard of. May I see for myself?" Ratchet: "Go right ahead."

Clank walked up to the window and looked out of it towards the space station. Clank: "Hm…that most certainly was not there the last time I checked that specific location. What do you suppose this could mean?" Ratchet: "I don't know, but I have a strange feeling that something about this just isn't right."

Meanwhile, back on Earth, it was 8 AM; at least an hour after Kim Possible woke up. She was about to meet with her friend, Ron Stoppable, when her Kimmunicator rang, she answered it immediately. Kim: "Hey, Wade, what's the sitch?" Wade: "Kim, you and Ron need to meet with your dad at the space center immediately. It's urgent." Kim: "We're on it!"

She left to meet with Ron.

A while after she did, she and Ron met with her dad at the space center. Kim: "Hey, dad, Ron and I got here as soon as we could. So, what's the…sitch?"

She then noticed her dad sobbing with his hands covering his face. Kim: "Um, dad, you OK?"

He looked up and noticed Kim right in front of him. Dr. P.: "Oh, Kim, it's terrible, something important was stolen from here."

Kim became serious. Kim: "What was stolen from here, this time?"

Her dad seemed cautious as he looked behind both of his shoulders, then leaned closer towards Kim and held his hand beside his mouth. Dr. P.: "I was hoping not to bring this up too soon, but…the very thing that was stolen was a secret project of mine." Kim: "A secret project?" Dr. P.: "Yes, I called it the ISSF: The Impossible Space Station of the Future. It was supposed to be a space station to defy all space stations. I have been working on that thing since I was your age, Kimmicub." Ron: "Whoa! You've been working on a space station since you were in high school?" Dr. P.: "Nnnnnnnnot so much the actual space station as it was the schematics; blue prints, diagrams, the whole nine yards." Ron: "Wow, that must have been some hobby you had."

Rufus popped his head out of the pocket in Ron's pants that he likes to occupy. Rufus: "Wah-ho! Hobby!" Dr. P.: "Yes, it did start out as just a hobby, then it became a project when I attended college. Soon as I started working here at the space station, I had all the excess materials needed to make that project a reality. But then I met my lovely wife, then had Kim, and then Jim and Tim, which slowed down my progress for years but it was a break that was truly worth it. I have come narrowly close to finishing that project; I just needed to work on taking care of 1 tiny problem." Kim: "And that is…?" Dr. P.: "TV receptor. What's the point of going into space if you don't have any good reception?"

Kim had a displeased look on her face. Dr. P.: "And now it's…gone."

Kim pulled out her Kimmunicator. Kim: "Wade, can you check on the security cameras of this place? They might have caught whomever stole dad's…secret space station project." Wade: "I'm way ahead of you, Kim. What I found is something that you're not going to believe."

Wade then displayed an image from one of the security cameras of Drakken and Shego. Kim: "No way! So it was Drakken and Shego that stole dad's secret project! Don't worry, dad, we'll get it back from them. Now to find where they went with it." Dr. P.: "That shouldn't be a problem, Kimmicub. I've had a tracking device installed into that thing, that was encase I misplaced the darn thing, especially if it was in space." Kim: "Wade?" Wade: "Already tracked it down. The signal seems to be coming from a…what!? A far off galaxy!? Wow! That's one impressive space station, Dr. Possible!" Dr. P.: "Thanks, Wade. Although, I'd have to admit, even I didn't think it would go that far." Kim: "Hm…would that space shuttle you built be able to go that far, too?" Dr. P.: "Well…I wouldn't think it could at first, but if that space station did, then so could my shuttle." Kim: "Let's go."
