For fans of World of darkness lets get a few things clarified to start. This story is ORIGINAL World of Darkness, back when a human in the world of darkness was a truly fragile thing and no matter what race the night was a dangerous place. Those of you that know WoD will already expect this, but for all the rest of you be warned, this is a violent and vicious place and I don't pull any punches in this story. I have the main plot planned out for the entire arc, it is dark and there is the potential for character death in this. I make no promises either way, but if it does occur I will not make it a simply offhand event to prune the cast but as shocking an event for the characters as one would expect. I know some find this disturbing, but I once heard it best described in a discussion about the Norse gods "For all their strength they are still able to die, and because of that their actions are truly heroic, as they are capable of making the greatest sacrifice.".

So, now the normal disclaimer which I will only be place in the first chapter, the story and original characters are mine, all characters from Kim Possible are the property of the Walt Disney Company, the World of Darkness setting and any canonical characters and or groups referenced in this story are the property of White Wolf. No infringement on these copyrights are intended, this story being a work of a fan for other fans being done simply for personal enjoyment and, hopefully, the enjoyment of others.

So now that is all out of the way, please enjoy our story...

The Last of the White Howlers

"DAMNIT STOPPABLE! GET YOUR LITTLE NERD ON THE LINE NOW!" Shego practically screamed at the petrified blond as she tried her best to keep the submission hold on the howling struggling creature; one boot in the middle of it's back and both it's arms hauled straight behind as the massive furred paws grasped at air trying to get at it's tormentor. She fumed at the useless dolt standing there frozen in terror, but in the end it really wasn't his fault, the slavering foaming creature she barely could contain would have the same effect on most humans.

"Sorry Kimmie, guess we have to do this the hard way." The green thief said apologetically just before bringing her free foot down in a crushing axe kick to the creatures head, a sickening crack resounded through the lair as the creature instantly went limp, it's body rippling as the fur seemed to pull into the skin and the entire frame rapidly shrinking till all that was left was a naked red-haired girl on the floor.

"Oh princess…" Shego sighed remorsefully as she covered the nude girl with a heavy canvas tarp pulled from some crates. "…you're not going to like what I have to say when you wake up."


Fifteen minutes earlier

Kim rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth, sliding silently through the ventilation duct trying to ignore Ron who for some reason had been grating on her nerves the last few days. Normally his 'Ronness' was just something she could grin at and let roll off her, but now, it was like a bug boring through her brain. Plus there was this little voice in the back of her head that kept screaming at her to just mule kick him in the head and she would have peace and quiet. "RON! Stealth much?" She hissed back at him gesturing to where they were.

"Come on Kim, it's just Draken and Shego. We've done this, what, like a hundred times? We go in, you and Shego throw down, I push the big button, Draken yells 'You think you're all that Kim possible, BUT YOUR NOT!'…" He even got the petulant whining tone down perfect and usually this would get at least a smirk from Kim but all he got was an icy stare that finally registered. "…um, shutting up now." He said in a little voice, finally realizing that Kim was in full Kim Mode and knowing better then to push it.

After a couple more seconds of the icy glare that seemed even more intense then usual she finally turned away and continued crawling, and if he didn't know better it sounded like she was muttering some very colorful thoughts about sidekicks.

"So you see Shego, when I insert the subliminal messages using product placements the masses will overthrow the world leaders and elect me as supreme ruler of the world!" "Sounds like a heck of a plan Dr. D, no way this one can go wrong, nope, remind me to throw you a party when you are in charge." Shego didn't even look up from her filing as she heaped praise on his plan in a total monotone. "Um, Shego, I appreciate all your words of encouragement but do you think you could show a tiny bit more enthusiasm? Just a smidgen? I mean, we are talking complete domination of the human race here."

"Tell ya what Dr. D, if your plan survives, oh, five minutes from when Kimmie drops out of that air conditioning duct with her over LOUD sidekick, I'll reassess my level of enthusiasm." "AUGHHH!" A scream of rage filled the lair from the direction of said air conditioning duct followed by the grating being kicked off with the squeal of the metal screws ripped out and quickly followed by a very pissed off looking redhead in baggy cargo pants.

"Hey Princess, have fun getting here?" The green thief taunted with a playful smirk, her eyes surveying the coating of dust and grime from the air supply ducts, they were never clean in the real world like they were in movies. "NO! I'm missing dinner with my family because of your two NUTJOBS! DRAKEN BRAND COLA AND ENERGY DRINKS? ARE YOU EVEN TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD ANYMORE OR JUST TRYING TO RUIN MY LIFE WITH THESE IDIOTIC SCHEMES?" Kim looked about ready to pop a vessel as apposed to her normal playful self, and her eye began to twitch when she saw Ron hiding out in the duct above her. "RON! Get down here…NOW!" When Kim yelled at him like that, he knew to jump, or this time fall.

"Woe, Kimmie, want to take it down a notch? Some of us still have a little hearing left." Shego asked playfully, wondering who spit in her favorite opponents cereal this morning. "You think your all that Kim Possible…But your n…!" Drakken didn't even see the flying kick coming or anything else after the heavy black boot buried itself in his face. "Woe! Kim, that's Drakken! He's, like, a non combatant, you know, like me?" Ron was shocked by the attack, Shego was nothing less, and just a touched pissed. "Not nice princess, that's not playing by the rules." She growled and stalked in her direction, all the usual fun and games gone after the vicious attack on the pretty much harmless Drakken.

"Maybe he will learn now and stop starting things he can't finish. This ends tonight Shego, I'm tired of being dragged off every few days so your insane boss can try another stupid little revenge scheme because he was a pathetic little whiner in school and tried to make a robo hooker. One way or another you're both going in and staying in." The low tone belied the heaving rage that almost visibly radiated from her and muscles taught like wire in the deceptively frail looking redhead.

"Taking this a little serious don't you think Kim?" Shego asked without her usual snide tone as the first blow was thrown by her opponent and neatly dodged. Kim's usual calm style was more vicious then usual, generally she was a patient fighter even if Shego knew what buttons to push the girl was the type that would watch for that one perfect opening to strike. For Kim that meant she could run up to almost anyone but a master and drop them with her first strike. But now it seemed like instead of her usual soft style interspersed with sharp strikes using the edge of her hands and feet, it was replaced with a raking slashing style reminiscent of Shego's own preferred form.

But with each slash Kim became more and more erratic, panting and huffing with rage, her eyes bugged out and a vein on her temple pulsating as her rage grew. "Stand and FIGHT!" Her voice a shrill insane pitch as Kim tried to grapple with the green woman, shocking Shego when the first injury of the fight was Kim's teeth sinking into her arm right through her catsuit. "Aughh!" Shego could feel the burn of that bite, and it terrified her, her fist came up to slam into Kim's head but it didn't dislodge the girl who was practically foaming at the mouth, slashing at her throat, face, eyes, any vulnerable area she could reach leaving lacerations in the pale green skin. Finally bringing her arm down in several shattering elbows to the neck and face Shego ripped Kim's razor sharp teeth from her flesh.

"Kimmie, you need to calm down, you can't let it control you; you have to push it down…" Her soft voice was useless as the bloodshot eyes locked on her as the crimson stained mouth widened in a look of psychotic glee, her muscles bunching and the cracking of bone followed every pounding step as she ran towards her prey, a monster in form and focus the massive white furred, crimson manned wolf creature launched itself at the comparatively tiny woman, clawed hands seeking to rend flesh from bone, fangs drawn to the warm blood soaked flesh, no thought in it's mind but the will to ravage the body of the tiny creature before her and feast upon it.


"Kimmie…?" The soft voice found its way through the nightmarish haze that throbbed upon a skull which threatened to crack at any moment. "…come on Princess, wake up…" The dreams of the monsters still filled her memory, beasts that fed upon flesh, a great twisting thing that shook worlds as it fought it's bonds, black shadows flying from innocent to innocent and tearing small parts from each soul, and finally the howling black swirling halls of stone filled with nothing but pain and agony and the laughter of those tormented to insanity within. "Mom…?" She moaned through lips that felt caked and crusty. "No Princess, come on, open your eyes, I'm right here…" The voice spoke gently, a soft hand gently cupping her cheek. Slowly cracking her eyes open she saw the bleeding concerned face of Shego leaning over her.

"Shego…? What happened?" She moaned, a coppery taste left her mouth tasting foul and her throat parched. The woman looked like she had lost a fight with a blender before being tossed down a mountain; her normally perfect face covered with countless small gashes and cuts, a chunk of hair missing from one side of her head, and one eye was swollen almost shut. "Nothing much, just your whole life changing, put up a hell of a fight in the process too. How you feeling?"

Kim slowly sat up, her whole body sore and her skull pounding as she tried to piece together anything that happened. "We…fought, right?" The battle seemed hazy and all sorts of bizarre images were interspersed with the memories. "Something like that. I got Wade on the line to corroborate things, I'm not sure if you'll believe me otherwise." She finally looked at the woman, and the damage to her face was just the start of her injuries, one arm hung limply and looked dislocated, her catsuit was covered with furrows that went right into the flesh. "Oh my god! We need to get you to the hospital!" Kim was panicked by the sight of the woman, and suddenly the monster nightmares seemed more real. "Are they still here? Did Drakken make them? We have to get away and get Global Justice or something! Wait, where's Ron?"

"Calm down Kimmie he's right over there, he just fainted, we're perfectly safe here." Shego spoke gently and placed a calming hand on Kim's shoulder. "Please, we need to talk. It's important." "Yea Kim…" Wade could be seen on the Kimmunicator Shego was holding, looking concerned but composed "…we really have to talk, before Ron or Drakken wake up." He added the last part sounding uncomfortable. "Why?" There was a lot of suspicion in this question, Shego might be as close to a friend as an enemy could be, but this sudden common ground between her and Wade instantly made her wary.

Shego looked conflicted for a second but seemed to come to a decision and looked at Kim hard and more serious then she had ever seen the older woman. "Because Drakken could never survive if he decided to mess with any of the stuff I'm about to tell you, and Ron would want to follow you and help you…much as I don't like the buffoon he might be able to handle himself better then most. But after you know about this you won't want to drag him along. And like it or not Princess, you no longer have a choice, your part of this." Kim waited for an explanation but Shego looked to be wavering again, and when she looked at the small Kimunicator screen it was obvious Wade wasn't going to tell her anything, this was Shego's story to tell. "Part of WHAT? Come on you two, Kim Possible here, girl that can do anything, hero, world saver? I can deal; just stop being all mysterious please?" She rolled her eyes and had that drawl that always showed up in her voice when she got a little full of herself.

"Ok Princess, guess there really isn't a soft way to say this. The whole world, society, humanity, everything you know. It's all just the superficial. You know what Morpheus said in The Matrix? 'The world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.' I've never heard it explained better. We're at war Kim, not against something so alien as some machine horde, our enemy is part of reality itself. And we're loosing…badly." Kim just looked at Shego like the girl had gone nuts. "Um, I think we need to get you to a hospital Shego…" She said in a gentle voice and slowly tried to reach for the Kimmunicator just to have her hand slapped aside. "This isn't a joke Kim! Damn-it, you just had to show up now!" Shego growled cracking the floor as she slammed her fist down, but after a few deep breaths she pulled herself together and chuckled slightly.

"This really is all true." Wade softly explained. "You really need to listen to Shego, no matter what side you might think people are on, she won't lie to you about this." He tried to reassure the redhead but like always he was far away from it all and could only offer words of encouragement to those that risked their lives everyday often at his behest. "Ok, so assuming you aren't both nuts…what is this really all about?" Kim was hesitant but Wade had always been there for her, helping her, protecting her secrets, and had never been anything but truthful with her.

"Ok Kim, the truth is, and I know this will sound crazy to you, but Werewolves, Vampires, ghosts, spirits, they all exist…" She held up a hand as Kim was about to say something. "No, let me finish, I need to get this all out and trust me, your going to want to argue what I'm saying every few words. It's all the truth, and I will show you all the proof you want after, but you need to know the basics if you want to survive. I won't be able to keep you alive no matter how hard I try if you don't even know what to look for that can kill you." Kim subsided but gave her a rebellious frown. "Now, I won't tell you something silly and say they aren't monsters. They are, or should I say, we are. We are the Garou, the people of mother earth and mother moon, warriors of Gaia. Don't give me that look Kimmie, just because some hippies like throwing around a lot of new age crap doesn't mean it's crap. Religions thousands of years older then Christianity have been speaking of spirits and Gaia and the Goddess, so don't be so quick to brush it all off."

Shego took a breath. "God I wish I was a story teller right now." She muttered when she saw the look Kim was giving her. "Ok, now, don't attack me." Shego said as she stood up and took a couple steps back from Kim. "Why would I…?" Kim never finished her question as the woman's muscles bulged and the crack of cartilage could be heard as her body shifted and grew. Her suit seemed to disappear as a course green fur began to sprout out all over her body leaving only the belt and leg pouch strapped in place, her limbs growing and her torso bulging, a long black mane hung behind her still, but now it was course and bristly looking somehow appropriate to the menacing aura that radiated from the creature that was Shego. But Kim missed most of this, her eyes locked on the green orbs that literally glowed and stared down at her from that monster bipedal wolfs face.

"Think I'm lying now Princess?" An impossibly harsh and inhuman voice slid from between those massive glittering teeth and past the maw. The creature towered over her at it's eight feet of height, but slowly as she realized that she wasn't as freaked out as she had originally felt something about the transformed Shego seemed…normal? "…da fuck…?" Kim whispered totally confused. "Well, at least you're not screaming your head off and running, that's a good sign." The Shego creature chuckled and casually sat down before Kim, crossing her legs as the glow disappeared from her eyes and the same old mocking playful eyes of Shego looked back at her.

Kim was totally silent till she reached out hesitantly, and in an almost cliché move gave Shego a poke as if to check if she was real. After a moment she poked a little harder at one massive arm before she, without asking, pulled the giant hand/paw close and began examining it carefully with a suspicious eye, tracing the muscles under the skin and looking at each joint carefully before working her way up the arm. Shego wasn't sure if she was amused by Kim's response or pissed at being poked and prodded, but considering how this could have gone she just sat quietly and let the girl satisfy herself. Finally after having examined Shego with the eye of a doctor's daughter Kim sat down in front of her again and looked halfway between total calm and a panic attack.

"There weren't any creatures were there?" She asked in a small voice, paling a little as Shego shook her head. "Then, how did I…? Did you…?" She was grasping at straws. "Doesn't work like that Kim, you don't change from getting bit or something. Your born that way, something in you that you inherit from your parents makes it possible. We're not really sure how it even works, you can't tell with genetic tests or anything before the change, even after your first change if you test your blood it will look the same as before. We are creatures of flesh and spirit, one foot in each world; it's probably something in your very soul that carries the mark of the Garou." She just shrugged.

"But, my parent's aren't…" She gulped unable to finish that sentence, maybe they were or something. "They wouldn't be, at least not both. The blood is too strong, it needs to be diluted with humans or wolves, or the children come out…with some deformity, and sterile. Your parents are probably kinfolk, human offspring or descendents of Garou, probably pretty far back. If you were known Kinfolk there is no way there wouldn't be someone telling stories about their human kinfolk, the great Kim Possible, at every single Moot." Shego chuckled, it was a little disturbing coming from such a massive powerful creature, but something about it made her feel more human to Kim.

Shego took a deep breath and shifted back, her body slowly shrinking and compressing down to her human form, her suit appearing as the fur sank away. Shaking out her still impressive 'mane' Shego looked back at Kim, her arm no longer hanging limply and her black eye almost faded along with the abrasions from having her face planted in the floor, but the furrows from claws still looked as angry as ever. "I won't sugar coat it Kimmy…we're dying out, along with the rest of the world. We're the last line and there are fewer of us every year." Shego sighed and looked to deflate for just a moment, looking beaten and ready to give up everything. But it lasted only for a moment before the same glint came to her eyes that Kim knew. "Ah well, if the worlds coming to an end I guess you were just fated to be there too…" The green thief laughed mockingly, she could feel reality just waiting to deliver a punch line for the apocalypse.

Kim was just deep in thought, little things in her life seeming to be clearer, she had always been a hair stronger then she should have been. A touch faster, tougher, more resilient. Did that mean she never had a choice, was she destined to fight, did it even matter all the work she had put in? Before she could follow that destructive line of thought any further Shego pulled her right out of it by grabbing the redheads face and making her look her in the eyes. "Don't start that Kim, you are you, whatever fate might have been you are responsible for everything you do, good or bad, you can't blame the blood or you will become a true monster, and if that happens I'll put you down myself." The older woman spoke in a dead serious tone, it wasn't a joke or idle threat, and at that moment Kim could feel the true weight of Shego's will on her…and she almost flinched.

"Don't worry Shego, I won't cop out on this…whatever this is. I'm me, I won't let it change me." She said with more assurance then she felt. "You will have to change some Kim or you won't survive long. Adapt or perish. Silly mantra for a people who remember the world almost back to the time of the dinosaurs isn't it?" She quipped, relieving some of the tension in the girl, it would be ok, she would adapt; anything is possible for a possible right?
