This is a darker KP story which is rated 'M' for the level of violence that will, although not very often, appear during the story. Also use of bad language.
Backdrop: Set 7 years after 'Graduation', 25 year old Kim Stoppable is very different than what she should have been. She's a Global Justice Agent who lacks any kind of morals with regards to the lives of her enemies; i.e. she is more than happy to kill them than see them imprisoned. The reason behind her darker side is that 3 years prior to when this story takes place, Warmonga and Warhok resurfaced and during the battle between them and Kim and Ron, Ron sacrificed himself to save Kim and kill Warmonga, with Warhok having already been slain by the combination of Ron and Shego.
Now Kim will have to deal with new and old enemies that have risen and finally get over that terrible night in which her soul was torn apart by Ron's death.
Chapter 1: Memories and Breaking In
Kim saw out the corner of her eye a green blow slash Warhok's left side as she dodged another unwieldy attack from Warmonga.
Shego had cut deep into Warhok's flesh causing his very life essence to bleed rapidly out of him. Ron followed up Shego's attack with a sliding tackle from behind, sweeping Warhok's right leg from beneath him, causing the giant male Lorwardian to fall to the ground with a loud crash. As he tried to get up, Ron jumped back onto his feet and leaped into the air, landing on Warhok's chest and kicking him in the face. Warhok responded by smacking Ron off of him only for Shego to rake her plasma empowered hands down his back which caused more blood to escape his faltering body.
"Lotus Blade! Come to me!" Ron shouted as the blade changed from an amulet around his neck into the sword.
In a swift motion, fuelled by his Mystical Monkey Power, Ron charged the alien and slashed the blade. As he stopped behind Warhok, Warhok's head fell to the ground, no longer connected to the body. The headless body fell to the floor in an unceremonious crash.
"Nice work, sidekick." Shego grinned as they looked at their handiwork.
"Now we take out Warmonga." Ron stated darkly.
Warmonga caught Kim with her staff and sent the 22 year old into the wall of the tower they were fighting in. Kim groaned in pain; her battle suit was bugging up badly. She had tried to activate its bubble shield to deflect the latest attack but its stealth mode and activated instead. Kim was sure she had fractured a few bones in her left leg due to how awkwardly it had smacked into the wall first. She couldn't move very well and she was really a sitting duck.
"Your allies may have slain my battle mate, but I shall slay you!" Warmonga roared as she lifted her staff up high.
'That will break my skull if that connects with me...I'm so boned.' Kim thought.
"KIM! NO!" Ron yelled as he saw the staff coming down.
Ron's Mystical Monkey Power kicked in and time slowed down for Ron. Shego fired off a few plasma blasts as Ron ran towards Warmonga. There was only one course of action he could take.
Kim's head slowly moved to see the blur of blue as Ron tackled Warmonga; the two tumbling and smashing straight out of the large viewing window they unluckily just happened to be next to.
"RON!" Kim screamed as she tried to run over to the remains of the large glass window.
As Kim stumbled over and looked out, she saw the rapidly falling Ron and Warmonga...
"NOOOO!" Kim screamed.
Her breathing was heavy and she was covered in a cold sweat. Instinctively, she turned her bedside light on and she looked at the clock to see it saying it was 4:26 in the morning. Rufus had dragged a towel onto her bed and looked at her, knowing that she had had THAT nightmare again.
"Rufus, you don't need to keep getting me a towel. You are an old man now, so don't go sapping your own strength."
"Ron." Rufus squeaked.
Tears welled up in Kim's eyes as she thought about her husband.
"Yes, it was that nightmare again...Reliving that horrible battle again." She sobbed as she placed her face in her hands.
Rufus crawled over to Kim's side and patted her soothingly. The old naked Mole Rat knew how hard it was for Kim as she regularly experienced this nightmare. For months she would stay up to gone 3am and get up at 7am, just to try and avoid having the nightmare. Nowadays she didn't endure the nightmare as much and slowly had started going to bed earlier and getting up later but every time the nightmare happened would spend up to 2 hours sobbing and mumbling over the events that took to place, and literally cry herself to sleep again.
After a good 10 minutes, Kim stopped crying, grabbed the towel, got another set of clothes to sleep in, removed her clammy and sweaty set, dried herself off, put the new set on and got back in to bed.
"He's not dead Rufus. I know he isn't."
Flashback
Kim sat on a bench in Middleton Park. Wade sat with her. It had been 3 weeks since Warmonga and Warhok had been slain.
"Wade, Ron isn't dead! I just know he isn't!" Kim snarled angrily.
"Kim I know you don't want to believe that he is dead. I don't want to believe it either but there is no trace of him. I removed that tracking chip after you two graduated and..."
"Exactly! No trace of him! They've searched FIFTY square miles around the site of that bloody tower and not a trace of his body or any clothes was found! That tells me he is still alive! I just know he is!"
"I agree that we cannot officially say he is dead, Kim, because there is no body but he's been listed as 'Missing in Action Presumed Dead'. There is nothing I can do to make him come back."
"I know Wade, I know, but I'm never going to believe he is dead until I see his body with my own two eyes."
Wade simply nodded as Kim got up and slowly walked off.
"I believe he is still alive too, but I'm also prepared for him being dead." Wade whispered to himself.
End of flashback
It was now early morning, 6.08am to be precise, and Kim was practising her kung fu moves.
*Beep beep beep-beep*
"Go Wade." Kim said mechanically as she answered the call on her wrist Kimmunicator.
"Got a break in at the Lowerton bank. Unknown who it is and Dr. Director requests you to handle it." Wade told Kim as she continued practising.
"Does she want him for questioning or can I handle this the way I see fit?" Kim asked.
'The Way I See Fit' has become another way of saying 'Can I Just Kill This Bastard?' when Kim asked Wade every time. Wade very quickly picked up on Kim's desire to kill villains and thieves and warned Dr. Director. So far, Kim has never disobeyed a direct order to not kill someone but deep in the back of both Wade and Dr. Director's minds, both know someday Kim might just be pushed too far.
"She wants him for questioning." Wade replied.
Kim grunted and stopped practising to get ready for her mission.
"Kim, you've got to let this anger go. Killing someone in cold blood isn't what Ron would've want-"
"Don't bring Ron into this Wade!" Kim snarled
"Chill out Kim! I'm saying you can't think clearly if you are angry. How many times did you best Shego in the past because you made her angry and she lost focus? You know Ron would tell you to keep your head in the game, just like you always told him to. I don't want to say this, but you know I'm right."
"Yes, I know." Kim sighed loudly. "Fine, I'll try and relax a bit but I doubt I'll ever be able to keep my cool all the time."
Wade was about to respond when Kim ended the call quickly.
"Damn woman. How Ron ever kept her anger in check, I don't know but I wish he was here to stop her from losing focus." Wade lamented.
Kim observed the scene before her. The security systems within Lowerton Bank had been disabled and there was a massive hole in the wall.
"Seriously, why bother? Why go to all that trouble of disabling security if you are just going to blow a huge hole in the wall? Almost as stupid as Drakken's shampoo was." Kim commented as she sneaked into the bank.
The vault was over the far side of the bank and Kim slowly made her way there, keeping low to the ground and moving as quietly as possible. She wanted to keep the upper hand on whoever had decided to make a withdrawal before the bank was open. Kim heard loud footsteps coming from inside the vault. She hid next to a cashier desk near the next large gaping hole where another cashier desk used to be. The sound was rather loud and had a strange ring to it.
'Something is definitely not right here.' Kim thought as she started to doubt how easy this mission should be. She unhooked her pistol and prepared for anything.
Except this 'anything' was something she would never have thought of preparing for.
"Kim...Possible...also known as Kim Stoppable...welcome." A distorted voice said to her. "There is no need to hide...behind that desk. I can see your body heat."
Kim slowly stood up and saw what she could describe as a monster standing before her. The creature was a mass of metal and flesh; metal covering virtually the entire body, save the arms, mouth and lower half of the legs.
"By order of Global Justice, you are under arrest for robbery. Give up and come peacefully." Kim ordered, aiming her pistol at the monster.
"I must...reject...your offer."
"That is fine by me, I love doing things the old fashioned way." Kim grinned as she dropped into a battle stance.
"Kung fu...threat analysis of Kim Stoppable...surname is apt." The creature stated.
"Wow, a metal clad moron with a sense of humour. Haven't faced anyone with one for a long time now."
"You cannot defeat me...you know...NOTHING!"
"If you know so much about me, then surely you must have heard my old phrase: Anything is possible for a Possible?" Kim raised an eyebrow as she charged.
Kim jumped onto the cashier desk and vaulted off of it, hoping to slam feet first into the thing and send it onto the floor. In theory this should have happened but in reality the creature reacted fast and caught Kim by her legs, swung her round and sent her through the Perspex that normally separated the cashier from the bank customer. The force was so great that she ended up rolling into the wall at a high speed, causing her to start to lose consciousness.
"Oh crap..." Kim groaned.
The creature walked slowly over to her.
"I said...you could not win...I will see you next time." It said before kicking Kim in the face, making sure she was knocked out cold before leaving with all the money that had been removed from the bank vault.
