The Mercenary II Final War Chapter 1

Outside Middleton…

"Secondary target acquired. Still no sign of primary. Requesting next set of directives."

'Proceed with plan. Expect to be defeated. Remember, goal is to lure the primary out. Dispatch ten HK units with 20 ground units each.'

"Affirmative. Dispatching now."

Middleton High School….

"Man, it has been sooooooo quiet this week," Kim Possible complains to her sidekick/boyfriend, Ron Stoppable. "Eh, I don't know, KP. Seems like Barkin has been giving out plenty of homework," He replies to the redheaded cheerleader captain.

It has been only 3 months since they meet the Lithuanian Aron. After defeating Jack and his army, Aron and his followers retreated into hiding. He wished to rebuild their strength, and mourn the fallen comrades. When they returned to Middleton, they discovered a different place then when they had left. The director of Global Justice, Betty Director, had been arrested for corruption, along with many agents. Others, like Will Du, left. The vast majority of the world's super-villains have been either arrested in secure prisons or were in hiding, since their major supporter, even for Jack Hench, was lost in the death of Jack.

Before Kim can reply, a roaring sound of a jet engine is heard. They look up to see ten large metal objects converging on their high school. Grappling lines are dropped from the sides and humanoid objects slide down them. When Kim and Ron get a better look, they gasp in shock. They look exactly like Jack's bodyguard Terminator.

"But how! I thought we destroyed it," A horrified Ron says. Kim shakes her head. "I don't know, but come on!" She grabs his arm and drags him towards their homes, so they can change into their mission outfits, and in Kim's case, battle suit.

Meanwhile, the robotic soldiers assemble in front of the now-vacated school. "1st Squad, secure the school. Rest, find any and all humans and bring them here. Use five of our HK units," The robot with a bar on his forehead says, waving his assault rifle.

Despite trying to put up a good fight, the Middleton Police Department is outnumbered and outgunned. Most are killed under the invading robotic firearms, with the survivors being moved to the high school with the rest of the people living in Middleton to the school.

Kim Possible, now in her battle suit, and Ron Stoppable manage to take down ten robots each, but they too are pushed to Middleton High. The robots form a half-circle around their captives. "Humans," The leader of the group says in a toneless voice. "You are surrounded. Your military is in no position to help. Submit to the new order, or perish."

Kim, along with Ron and many ever, shout what it can do with a ewe. "Very well. Prepare for termination," It replies. As one, the robots and their ten aircraft train their weapons at the group.

Suddenly, the sound of machine guns are heard. One of the HKs is hit, one of the engines being set ablaze. Spiraling out of control, it crashes into the ground. Two more join it. Kim and Ron look up at the sky to see an aircraft buzzing by, its propeller spinning fast. The propeller cap is blue, and a blue lightning bolt is on the nose with a trailing blue line. The rudder is also blue, with two yellow stars and an odd white design. Behind the wings is a white square, with the center being occupied by a single, red circle: The emblem of Imperial Japan.

And it is not alone: Behind it are 15 more aircraft of the same design flying in formation. The seven remaining Hunter-Killer units rise up to meet the fighters. The lead two fire 20mm mini-guns, ripping through the cockpit of one of the nimble fighters and shredding the left wing of a second one. Suddenly a sound Kim and Ron never thought they would hear again booms. A high-pitch whistling sound is followed by an explosion in the back of the rear HK, sending it crashing into the section of the school.

The stunned residents of the (usually) sleepy place of Middleton now look to see a massive tank rumbling up the street to the right of both the group and their would-be captors. "Hey KP check it out!" Ron excitedly shouts. "No way," Mutters a stunned Kim. The tank they see before them is the same Tiger II from the assault on Jack's island. Behind the massive German Panzer are a half-dozen German SdKfz 251/1 half-tracks, as well as 10 Russian-built PTS amphibious tracked transports. The 80 robots turn towards the new players and open fire with assault rifles. The rounds bounce off the well-armored slope of the frontal armor of the tank. The MG 34 bow machine gun opens fire, sending a green tracer every five rounds. Six of the robots are quickly cut down, and another dozen are taken out by an 88mm Sprgr Patr 43 HE shell.

Then soldiers come pouring out of about half the trucks and half-tracks. Kim and Ron spot two familiar faces. Johan commands an MG 42 squad, and has them set up quickly. One man kneels down and holds the bipod of the machine gun, the barrel resting on his shoulder. Johan points to the general direction of any targets he calls out, and the gunner pulls the trigger. The sounds of ripping canvas paper, a very distinctive sound the MG 42 makes, is heard as several others are also fired. Robotic torsos jerk about as the bullets hit them.

Meanwhile, Nichole and a squad of American soldiers run up to Kim and Ron. "We need to evacuate the civilians pronto. We got a large number of enemy reinforcements 5 minutes away. Help get everyone in PTS now," She informs the duo. The two lovers nod and help the soldiers load the surviving citizens of Middleton into the 10 vehicles, each being able to hold 70 people.

Near Johan's crew, a machine gun crew is silenced by the 7.62mm mini-gun built into the hands of some of the killer robots. Another German soldier falls backwards from a burst of an assault rifle. "Hold your ground! We gotta give Nichole and the others enough time to escape," The young German shouts.

In the sky, only two HK units are left. The squadron leader breaks off, along with nine others. Kim and Ron see the ten fighters heading off in the opposite direction of where the land vehicles came from. "What are they doing?" She asks Nichole. The blonde watches the fighters until they are merely tiny specks before answering. "Blue Leader is leading an attack on the main convoy. This is only an advance scout group. If he is leading them, then we got to move it! EVERYONE MOVE IT! DOUBLE TIME! KRAUSE, GET YOUR TANK BACK TO BASE NOW!"

Sensing the clear urgency in her voice, the transports are finally loaded with citizens, quickly falling into formation with the Tiger II. Now only the half-tracks, Kim, Ron, Johan, Nichole, and 38 surviving soldiers are left, facing 24 of the robots. Johan fires a shot straight through the right optic of a robot with his Gweher 43, destroying its CPU.

With a yelp, a German soldier falls onto her side, clutching her left arm as blood starts to soak her uniform. An American sergeant takes a bullet to the side of the head as he leans down to try to help her. With a determined expression, Kim leaps and dodges the bullets in order to reach the wounded woman. Helping her up, she and Ron carry her to one of the half-tracks.

Johan gestures to the rest of the soldiers to throw smoke grenades. Once they go off, they gather their wounded and remount the half-tracks, leaving the battlefield.

Several Hours later….

The rag-tag convoy arrives at an airfield near a mountain. Kim gasps as she recognizes it as the famous Cheyenne Mountain Complex. Then she notices the activity going on in the base. There she sees an odd sight.

American Army soldiers and Air Force pilots bustle with activity. M1 Abrams, M2 Bradleys, and M109 Paladins move about, setting up positions. On the airfield Apaches and Black Hawk helicopters sit, ready to go at a moment's notice. But the really odd sight are the men and women dressed in World War II uniforms of various nations moving around as well.

In the front, Kim and Ron notice dug-outs for anti-tank guns of various calibers, such as German 75s and 47mm anti-tank guns, Russian 45mm and 152mm howitzers. A KV-1 tank rumbles by, followed by several more. Other tanks can be seen, as well as many fighters and ground-support aircraft.

Suddenly, an alarm starts to go off as the sound of propeller engines echo. The planes, which Nichole told the duo that they were known as Kawasaki Ki-61 'Hien', that had broken off are returning. Only four are left, the rest of the squadron either shot down or already have landed. The last plane to land is the flight leader. Despite having both wins and the rear of the plane filled with bullet holes, it still lands in one piece.

When the two see the pilot, they are initially shocked, then please. Jumping out of the half-track they are in, Kim and Ron rush to greet their friend Aron. The Lithuanian man lights a cigarette and grins. "Miss me? Told you I would be back."

Middleton…..

Smoke billows in the sky, blotting out the sun over the remains of buildings. In the sky HK units prowl, hunting down survivors both from the scouting party, as failure to a human meant destruction, and any human stragglers. Thousands of humanoid robots march through Middleton. The leader of the large war party activates a communication link with the Terminator. "Command Unit 08 reporting," It says.

"Report," The commander receives. "Advance Scout Unit 08.1 failed to capture secondary targets, and are being terminated as per protocol. Enemy units are about 3 hours from current position. Orders?" There is a brief pause as the leader runs various simulations.

"Proceed to target. Burn it to the ground. We cannot let there be a single spot of strong resistance in our global campaign. No survivors," The Terminator decides.

Not many words to say, aside from R&R!
