CHAPTER 25: Death and Life.
Anne, Betty and the Seniors watched the teleporter whisk away the ninjas surrounding Shego, from their vantage point just beyond the waterfall. They saw her raise an arm and motion to them. The four ducked through the waterfall and started running across the swaying bridge.
Bonnie pulled out her cell phone as they ran. “Pops? We're ready here. Bring it in.”
By the time they reached the far end of the bridge, Shego had already disappeared into the main building. Behind them, they could hear the thumping of the helicopter blades echoing from the surrounding mountains. They ran past the gates, and into the courtyard just as the copter was descending from above. Señor Senior Senior brought the copter down in the middle of the courtyard, it's nose facing the main building. Panels opened below and on the sides, an array of missiles were exposed.
Betty chuckled at the sight. “That will make them think twice about trying to escape this way.”
Bonnie and Junior opened the rear doors of the copter and pulled out a pair of odd looking rifles. The ends of the barrels had large bulbs sticking out. Bonnie cocked the net throwing gun and grinned. “Then we get them with these.”
Anne glanced at all the hardware. “Let's just hope the tracking powder got then all and you don't need them.” She turned to Betty. “Ready?”
Betty nodded. She and Anne ran into the building.

Wade grinned as he watched the prison holding area fill with fifty puzzled and angry young ninja. He glanced at another screen and saw Shego disappear as she turned on her stealth field. She was moving down the passage leading to the cavern, when his screen suddenly became a mass of scrambled lines. White noise hissed from his speakers. Something was interfering with the signal. He reached for the com button, but paused. Contacting Kim or Shego would be a bad idea. It could compromise the plan.
Anne answered her beeping com as she and Betty made their way deeper into the mountain. She didn't even notice she was unconsciously parroting her daughter. “What's the sitch Wade?”
Wade's voice replied. “I lost visual on Kim and Shego. I've still got a tracer signal, but I can't see what's going on.” His eyes darted away from the screen and his hands flew over his keyboard. “That was the signal for the big teleportation. All the ninja should be cleared out now.”
Anne looked concerned. “Kimmie and Shego?”
Wade shook his head. “No contact yet. You guys might wanna hurry.”
Anne hit a button and turned to Betty. “I have a bad feeling.”
They both started running faster.

Kim looked down at the alter. Even in the dim, flickering torch light she could see the blood that rapidly pooled in the nicks and furrows of the alter. Her eyes fixed on the ancient ninja. Only moments before he'd been alive. Because of her anger, her thoughtless action, he was dead. The anger drained away. She felt numb inside. The remorse or regret she expected to replace the anger, were not there.
She felt like there was a gaping hole inside her. It was as if some part of her had been torn away. All that remained was a void. Like a hunger, the void ached to be filled. She trembled. Her thoughts were sluggish. She wanted to be angry with herself. The void rejected her anger, as though it tasted something vile. It wanted something else, but she had no idea what. She tried to pull her eyes away from the sight before her.
All she managed to do was focus on the bloodstained blade. The light flickered across it's crimson coated silver. As she stared, the light began to dim. She wondered if she were going to pass out. The darkness grew. It wasn't in her mind. It blossomed from the still figure before her. Like a billowing storm cloud, it filled the air. Larger and larger it grew, until all light fled it's presence.
She could no longer see, but she felt the darkness move. Like a predator stalking it's prey, it came toward her. No thought of running entered her mind. More than anything, she wanted to embrace this darkness. Knowing, without knowing how she knew, this was what was meant to fill the void within her. She felt herself move forward, felt her arms reach out to embrace the oncoming dark.
Like a lover the darkness took her. It flowed into her. She felt it seek that place within her, that longed for it's touch. The void pulled and the darkness came willingly into it. Light once again filled her eyes, as the void was filled with ancient dark power. There was a gentle touch on her arm. She turned her head. Her eyes beheld the woman she loved. She smiled.
Shego hugged her wife. She hadn't seen the dark cloud, but she'd felt it's passing, like a cold mist. Kim's smile filled her with relief, dispelling the worry that clenched her heart. “Are you alright Princess?”
Kim pulled her tighter. “More than alright Sweetie.” She let go of Shego. “Come on. It's all over.”
Ron Stoppable stared at Kim. She'd just murdered Sensei and here she was acting like it was no big. In his mind, he'd felt the ninja's power flow into her body. It dawned on him that she'd been planning this all along. All her talk of capturing the ninjas was a ruse, he could see it now. He looked around. Fear crept through him as his eyes landed on the idols. He took a step back. It was clear now. They intended to finish the job with him. Ron was certain now, Kim had gone so evil, she'd stoop to killing him for his power too.
A blue glow filled the cavern. Both women turned toward it's source. They saw Ron covered in the aura of his Mystical Monkey Power. His eyes held a determination that neither had seen but rarely before.
Ron felt his power grow as righteous fury replaced his fear. “No KP. It's not over yet. I know what you're up to”
Shego looked hard at him. “What the fuck is eating you?”
A blue glowing fist swung out. Shego had no time to react to this unforeseen attack. It plowed into the side of her head. She slumped down unconscious.
Kim's eyes widened as she saw her wife fall. “RON! How could you!?”
Ron slowly shook his head from side to side. He stepped over Shego and walked toward Kim. “I thought there was hope for you. Somehow, I wanted to believe you would come back. But you've gone too far. You... You killed him!”
Kim stared into his glowing eyes. She couldn't believe what he'd just done. “Yeah, I killed him. I was mad. I acted without thinking. I didn't do it on purpose!”
Ron returned her stare. “Don't you dare lie to me Kim! I felt it. I felt you take his power! You murdered him for it!”
Kim took a step back. Her mind reeled. Why hadn't Wade teleported them away from him? For the first time in her life, she felt herself fear Ron Stoppable. “Don't be stupid Ron! I didn't know that was going to happen!”
He advanced toward her. His eyes shining even brighter blue in his anger. “Just stop it! You never were a good liar! I gotta stop you Kim. You're too dangerous... Too evil!”
Kim backed her way around to the other side of the alter. What little hope she had of rescue was rapidly fading. She glanced at her wife, laying on the cold stone floor, and hoped she was alright. There was one more thing she could try. “Don't do this Ron. Remember we have a truce.”
He reached out a glowing arm. “Not anymore. You ended the truce when you murdered him. I can't let you get away with it. I can't let what you've become be unleashed on the world!”
Kim saw movement directly in front of her. The Lotus Blade trembled. It slowly pulled itself out of the alter. Fear gripped her as she watched it float slowly to Ron's outstretched hand. She backed away. Desperation filled her voice as she cried out. “Please! Ron! You can't. Think of Joss! This is her body. Think about what you're doing!”
Ron grasped the sword out of the air. For a moment he stared at it. His blue glow faded slightly. His eyes shifted back to Kim. The glow brightened again. There was a sadness in his voice when he spoke. “Joss will understand. She'll see this is for the greater good.”
Kim watched the blade change in his hand. It lengthened into a glowing blue spear. She really hadn't thought Ron had it in him to do this. She watched the tip of the spear lower to point directly at her. She stumbled backwards, trying desperately to get away from him. The impact of her back with the cavern wall sent panic rushing through her. “I'll give up! Ron, listen I mean it! Betty's on her way here now. Let her arrest me!”
Ron cocked back his arm. He aimed the spear directly at her heart. “Do you take me for a fool!? I know Shego will just bust you out of prison! She's as bad as you, but don't worry, I'll put an end
to her evil too!”
His words washed the fear out of Kim. Anger, like she'd never thought she could feel toward Ron, replaced it. She stepped away from the wall. “Are you going to kill my mom too? Then what? Go after all the other villains?” She took another step closer to him. “You stand there and accuse me of murder, but if you kill me you'll be no better!”
He watched her come closer. His imagination fed him visions of the horrors she could inflict on the world. “I have to do it! If I don't, who knows how many more people you'll murder! No Kim. You have to be stopped here and now!”
Kim saw his arm tremble. She knew he was about to attack. “If that's the way it has to be. I only have one thing to say. If you try to kill me, you better not miss.” Her voice became a low hiss. “Because if you do... I will kill you. I promise!”
Ron snarled as his arm shot forward. Fear and fury engulfed his mind as he released the glowing shaft. “DIE!”
Kim watched the spear come toward her. She no longer felt any fear. Closing her eyes, she reached into the darkness inside her. She pulled it out, and around her, like a cloak. So complete was her trust in her new found dark power that she opened her eyes and smiled. The glowing blue spear hit, and slid off, the almost invisible force surrounding her. Her eyes became hard as she stared at the person she'd once called friend. “You missed.”
Chill fear clenched at Ron as he shot out his hand. He had to get the Lotus Blade back before Kim attacked. So intent was he on this, he never saw the attack that did happen. Kim had not moved an inch, when he felt the impact with his back. The force of it sent him flying toward the alter. Panic and disorientation caused his power to flicker and fade. Blackness overcame him as his head impacted the bloodstained stone.
Kim watched as her mother's form shimmered out of thin air. She ran forward and jumped into her arms. “You have no idea how glad I am to see you!”
Anne held Kim close, as Betty approached from the shadows. “Oh Kimmie! We saw him attack you and Shego. I was so scared for you.”
Kim kissed her. “Thank you for saving us!”
Betty knelt down beside Shego. She felt for a pulse and was glad to note she was only unconscious. She looked up at Kim and gave her a smile. Then, she looked over at Ron. “What do we do about him?”
Kim stepped back out of her mother's arms. She stared at Ron's limp form. The smile left her face. “I told him what I'd do.” She looked back at Anne and Betty. “If I let him go now, I'll always have to worry he'll try to kill me again.”
Anne walked past her. She went over to the cavern wall. Bending down, she picked up the Lotus Blade, which had returned to it's sword form. She carried it back and held it out to her daughter. “I won't stop you. You do what you have to.”
Betty stood with a worried look on her face. “Kim? What are you going to do?”
Kim slowly reached out and grasped the sword. She looked over at the one eyed woman. “I've never broken a promise in my life. I don't intend to start now.” She bowed her head to her mother's ear and began whispering rapidly. Moments later, she stepped over to the unconscious man. He was a friend no longer. Now, he was a dangerous enemy. There wasn't even a hint of mercy in Kim's eyes.
Anne moved next to Betty, and grasped her arm. She began talking rapidly, and quietly, as they both watched Kim kneel down beside Ron.
His eyes fluttered opened and he groaned in pain. He looked up, and terror filled him, as he saw Kim raise the Lotus Blade above him. He lifted his arms in an attempt to grab the blade, but Kim was too fast. With a swift and unwavering certainty, she plunged it between his ribs and into his heart.
The last thing Ron Stoppable saw was Kim's smile. He knew that smile all too well. It was the one she always wore when she was truly enjoying herself.
Kim fell back as a fountain of blue light sprang from his chest. It arced up and over their heads. The entire cavern seemed to glow as the light split and formed into four glowing balls. Each ball swept down and disappeared into the black idols surrounding the alter. The light faded. The idols were changed, from black, to a pure jade green.

The Global Justice ID tag read: Reager, Morris - Head Medical Examiner. The man wearing the ID was in his mid 40's. His red hair was just a short fringe around his mostly bald head. He was short and wore a frown on his pale face. His unhappiness was due to being called in to work on his day off. He'd planned to spend the day at his son's home.
He grumbled as he entered his office and sat at his desk. After typing his security code into his computer, he called up new messages. There was only one. It was from Dr. Director herself. She wanted an autopsy done on a villain who had just been sent in. It seemed she wasn't satisfied with the circumstances of his death. He glanced at her on scene report. Apparently, he'd fallen about 200 meters to his death.
Morris groaned loudly. If there was one thing he hated it was a splat. There was almost never enough left intact to do a proper autopsy on. He stood and walked into the main morgue. A clipboard next to the door told him he needed drawer 37-A. He counted to himself, as he walked down the long wall of cold storage drawers. Reaching the one he sought, he yanked on the handle.
The door popped open and the drawer began to slide out automatically. His eyes widened with surprise as he looked at the body. It wasn't the fact that the guy looked like something out of a old horror movie that surprised him. He'd worked for GJ for over a decade. He'd some some pretty weird looking bodies in his day. What surprised him was that the body seemed completely intact.

Rufus shook his head as he watched the odd woman in black walk toward the main door of the tower. He'd followed her all over the building. Never once did she even glance at him. All she did was stop now and then and stick something to the walls. He'd yelled at her, no response. Kicking her in the foot had no effect either. He'd considered calling up his Mystical Monkey Power to attack her, but decided against it. He was alone and there was no telling what she might do if he did.
She walked to the door and out of the building. He watched her get into a blue sedan and drive away. Scratching his head, he turned and walked back up the hallway. He stopped at the last place she'd stopped. A leap, and some nimble claw work, brought him up to where she'd stuck something to the wall. As he clung there, he saw it was a small round disk. Hanging on with one paw, he used the other to pry it away from the wall.
Climbing down, he grasped the disk and scrambled away to the control room. He had no idea what it was, but he was pretty sure Ron would. All he had to do was wait til his buddy got home.

Kim lifted the dome shaped helmet off her head. Her eyes were closed. She cautiously opened them and looked down at her body. A smile curved her lips as she saw that it was her own body she was looking at. She looked over to the other side of Dr. Drakken's mind swap machine and saw Joss doing the exact same thing. The only difference was the lack of a smile on the teenager's face.
Joss looked over at her murderous cousin. She could feel every bruise and cut sustained by Kim in her borrowed body. “Did ya really have ta..?”
Kim sighed. She stepped over and placed her hand on the girl's shoulder. “You already know the answer. I have to keep my promises.”
Joss glared at her for a long moment, then turned and walked purposefully out of the room.
Kim shook her head as she watched her cousin leave. To the empty room, she said. “You're lucky Joss. I made a promise to you too.”

Someone was poking him in the chest. Barry Long opened his eyes. He looked up at the man who was doing the poking. “Do you mind?”
The man gave a startled jump. “Oh! Sorry. I wasn't sure if you were alive or what.”
Barry grinned. “I'm alive. Not exactly sure why though. Last thing I remember was taking a nosedive off a mountain.” He read the man's ID tag. “I'm guessing I really did...”
Morris cleared his throat. “According to the report and the pictures taken of your cor... Of you. Umm... When you came in. You did.”
Barry thought back. There was certainly nothing wrong with his memory. He remembered every detail of what happened. He just didn't know why. A pretty good idea about why he was still alive was beginning to form though. He sat up and swung his legs to the floor. “I need to be going.” He gestured at the thin sheet covering his body. “I might need something to wear...”
