I do not own K.P, nor do I own Kimala or the stories Turning Over A New Green Leaf and Secrets Better Told. I do own Scarlet and my stories.
Chapter I
Written by Twila Starla
Tri-City Museum, 12:30 AM.
Shadows crept across each valuable item that was held in the Tri-City Museum. Jewels, dinosaur bones, fossils, sarcophagus' holding mummies, crowns once worn by royalty.
But only one item interested the ninja sneaking onto the museum roof. She walked over to one skylight, she could see the main hall where priceless paintings hung, racked side by side. They were worth a good million, but no. She was here because of something far more important then riches.
She moved on to the next skylight, and the next, and the next. Still nothing. Where was it? She finally got sick of the wait, and ten thick, metal claws appeared on her fingers. She slashed a hole in the concrete roof as easily as a knife slices bread, lowering her masked head inside, she checked to see if the coast was clear. No one there, good. She dipped her hands down into the gap, and slid them into the ceiling underneath her, she swung down, and stuck her feet to the ceiling. Good thing she had put suction cups in the bottom of her boots. She scaled the area, clawing the ceiling like a cat. She passed room upon room until she came to the one she'd been looking for. Her eyes began to glow a bright red, scanning the room for motion sensors. None could be found, that was unusual. But like she cared. She drew in her claws, the suction cups vanished, and she landed on the ground. Her eyes fell on the pedestal that sat in the room, there it was. She removed her mask,and ran her gloved hands over the hazel crystal.
"The Zinrin Stone is mine!" Scarlet said triumphantly, grasping the jewel tightly. She chuckled, and turned to leave.
The wooden doors of the room flew off the hinges. Scarlet shielded herself. A slender figure lowered her hands and walked in. Her short hair was silver, as were her dress, shoes, eyes and the lining under her eyes. The sleeves of her coat were torn, revealing the silver lines the ran down her arms. Scarlet's eyes widened in shock. The woman eyed the stone in Scarlet's hands.
"The Zinrin Stone!" she exclaimed, "Give it to me!" the woman lunged at Scarlet and grabbed for the gem, but Scarlet pulled it away just in time.
"Mom?" Scarlet said, shocked, but the woman paid her no mind. She jumped up from her spot on the ground.
"Give me the Zinrin Stone!" the woman said, and made a grab for the jewel again, and caught it, but Scarlet wouldn't let go. The two were suddenly caught in a tug-of-war for the hazel gemstone.
"Give it back!" Scarlet said, pulling it towards herself.
"Never!" exclaimed the woman, pulling it away from Scarlet.
"I had it first!"
"It's still mine!"
"Actually, it belongs to the museum, and I suggest leaving it here." the two women stopped fighting just long enough to see Kim Possible standing in the doorway.
"Kim!" the woman with silver hair spat.
"Kimberly!" Scarlet hissed.
Ron ran up beside Kim, a goofy smile on his face.
"Don't forget me!" Ron said.
Rufus crawled out of Ron pocket.
"And me!" he squeaked.
"Of course," Scarlet mumbled, "Can't go anywhere without your boyfriend and his ugly hairless thing, can you Kimberly?"
Rufus stuck out his tongue at Scarlet, who just glared at him. Kim stepped forward.
"Kimala, release my mother, and both of you drop the jewel!" Kim sounded demanding. Kimala and Scarlet ignored her, and continued to pull at the jewel. At some point the two fell backwards, both holding half of the thing in their hands.
"You broke it!" Kimala screamed.
"Well, if you had just let me have it, it wouldn't have broke!" Scarlet said, standing up, and looked Kimala straight in the eye.
"It's rightfully mine!" Kimala said.
Kim charged toward the two villains. But Scarlet caught her by the neck, and threw her across the room without so much as flinching. A look of horror raced onto Ron's face as his lbest friend was thrown to the ground. He ran over to the red-eyed villain, and tried to punch her in the face. Scarlet grabbed it just before it made contact with her jaw, and threw him as well. He landed on top of Kim. And that's when Kimala got an idea.
"Such strength, such power in a human being, and she is not an Immortal. I wonder..." Kimala thought this and scratched her chin. Scarlet picked up the two pieces of the stone, and sighed. Kimala had to act now. She jumped out of the body of Mrs. Possible, and a blurry, silver glowing mass fluttered in the air above them for a second, then soared into Scarlet's body while the villainess's back was turned. Scarlet's red eyes turned silver for a minute, then changed back to normal. She shook her head, then ran out of the room, and out of the museum.
Kim and Ron woke a second later. Mrs. Possible rubbed her head, and helped the two teenagers up. Kim looked at her mom.
"Are you..."
"Back to normal? Yes," was Mrs. Possible's reply, "but I'm afraid both Kimala and Scarlet got away."
"That can't be good," Ron said.
"Uh oh," agreed Rufus.
"I'll talk to Wade tomorrow," Kim said to Ron, "let's get my mom home first."

The Next Day...
Middleton High, 3:45 PM
Kim walked out of the gym doors. Bonnie had given her enough trouble to last a lifetime, but other then that, cheerleading practice had went on smoothly. Tara and Jessica were not far behind Kim, talking. They had more in common then either knew, they had both helped Kim on previous missions, missions like no other missions. The Kimmunicator rang. Kim pulled it from her backpack, and turned it on.
"What's the sitch?" Kim asked as Wade's face appeared on the screen.
"Kim, we've got a major 911! Scarlet's escaped from prison!" Jessica overheard what Wade said, turned around, and gasped. She remembered working for Scarlet all too well. She reached for the necklace that hung on her neck.
"Kinda old news, Wade. We had a run-in with her and Kimala last night," Upon hearing Kimala's name, Tara turned around and gasped. Her eyes had changed from blue to orange, signaling that Tea was in control.
"Who's Kimala?" Wade asked. Kim's eyes widened, she had never told Wade about the Immortals.
"No one, no one! Just another whacked out villain like Scarlet!" Kim said this all too quickly. Wade looked at her funny.
"Okay," Wade said slowly, "I'll scan the area for Scarlet and this... Kimala."
"Please and thank you." Kim said with a smile.
"Alright then, Wade out". Kim pressed the Kimmunicator to her chest as soon as the screen went black. Tara's eyes faded back to blue, and Jessica let go of her necklace. The two passed by Kim, both nerve wrecked. Kim knew the trouble those villains had caused, and having them out and about was never a good thing, to say the least. But they weren't working together or anything like that, so at least they would be easier to catch seperately. Hopefully.
