The normal spiel here, I don't own anything but the plot idea. Kim Possible copyright Disney, The Darkness copyright Top Cow/Image Comics.

This was mostly an idea that came to mind while I was talking with my fiancee and surfing a wiki on Witchblade, I always liked mixing Kim Possible with much darker stories and universes to see what happens. So read, review, and I hope you enjoy

The Darkness in Kim Possible


Chapter

1

Old Enemies, New World

There was amusement and victory from one, the other radiated annoyance at it's loss but also a certain smirk in it's presence. The world was void, devoid of life with the husk of a once teaming planet spread over it's surface, a victory for destruction to be sure, but at a cost. As raw chaos often finds, it needed a certain amount of order to exist, the order that made life possible, and it found no end of annoyance at the feeling of amusement it received from the other one, even in total victory it still had doomed them both. Eventually they would descend back into the thoughtless energies they were before they encountered the first being, loosing countless millennia of memories, the last vintages of this world; it's history, it's people, all just slipping away into nothingness. They would not die in the mortal fashion, but their thoughts and everything that made them more then primal forces would be wiped away till perhaps one day far in the future another first life would start, billions of years as nothing but floating nothingness even was loathing to a being that reviled in the darkness, and was no more appealing to it's almost chortling counterpart in the light.

So time slipped by with nothing but fruitless animosity between the two beings, but even that began to die down as the two began to feel time pass and their 'selves' begin to feel the drain of simply existing as nothing but energies and thought, sensing all the world around them they felt none of it. A stray thought in the sun that perhaps this wasn't the first time this had happened almost sent the shadow into a panic as it began sifting through a billion years of memories trying to find it's first, it was so simple it was hard to understand, there was not much one could experience as a single celled organism after all. But before that, nothing, the drifting shadow found the same sense of panic in it's companion. Fear and panic, they both knew what those things were, but neither had ever experienced it for themselves, and it was enough to drive away the animosity that literally made up what they were.

In horror both scrambled for a single living creature, a cell, a few strands of complex proteins they could infuse with their energies and keep alive, but both searches were fruitless. This world was scoured of life so thoroughly that not a single cell had escaped, or perhaps it had, they were unable to find how much time had passed since their physical end, it was a startling thing when they looked at the lifeless husk of a world, the great ruins left behind when the hollow victory was played out, but even those had turned to dust with the passage of time.

In desperation both entities began to search for some way to survive, all the while their thoughts become more damaged and fading away even as they got closer to an idea. They were not anchored like most things to a particular time and place, void of space meant little to beings such as themselves, but while they could bend many rules of reality, without a host their powers were severely limited in how they could affect things. The irony is, after all this, they were still avoiding the first plan because it would force them to work together in a way they hadn't since all those centuries ago when they had sired the entity known as The Witchblade. But as they felt the grasp of oblivion even their loathing relented and the two powers began to coalesce and push through the fabric of reality into another world where they didn't exist.

An eternity away there was another battle of wills going on, though this one was had a much more physical component to it, as the sound of fists and kicks striking flesh would suggest.

"So pumpkin…" A rich voice purred as the owner ducked a vicious open handed strike. "…where's your buffoon?"

"Shouldn't I be asking the same? And Wade said it was just you, so I didn't see any reason to call Ron in." A much younger voice responded as the two shadows danced through the dark warehouse.

The richer voice seemed to hesitate at this. "Well, actually, Dr. D. is sick, he sent me out to fetch some things for him." Shego responded sounding embarrassed, casually catching a punch and tried to throw Kim, but the redhead caught her opponent and dragged her along into the sickly light from an overhanging bare bulb.

"Wait, couldn't you just, you know, get that stuff from the corner store or something?" Usually Shego was much more purposeful in exposing her actions, she would just buy something and charge it to Draken unless it wasn't for sale. Or the impulse hit her and she did it for fun.

Shego pulled back a bit blushing slightly and mumbled something. "Um, you need to speak up Shego." Kim said, this fight just wasn't as fun anymore without something real at stake.

"They were out of Coco Moo ok?!" The raven haired thief snapped. "I got his cough syrup and all the other inane little things on the list but they were freaking out of Coco Moo." She grumbled and pouted, her arms crossed and her lip shoved out.

Kim just shook her head. "Oh Shego, stealing Coco Moo? For shame." She chided, barely keeping herself from cracking up as she held her shaking sides, in pain from the laughter threatening to escape.

"Yea, yea, fuck you Kimmie." Shego tried to make it sound harsh but she was just so damn embarrassed about this she couldn't muster much anger at anyone but herself. "Look, can I just take a little tin of the stuff and go home? It's no fun fighting over powdered chocolate milk mix." She moaned, if this got out she would never hear the end of it, she could just see the next villain's ball, she couldn't show her face in public.

Kim actually looked to be considering it but her whole, stealing is wrong, thing just kept getting in the way of the thought. "Ok, look, I can't believe I'm suggesting this, but mom bought some today, and thanks to SOMEONE breaking into a warehouse I haven't even gotten a chance to crack the seal. How about you just take that and save us both some trouble?" Kim did her best to sound monumentally put out at this but on the inside was doing a little dance at being able to help out Shego.

The previously morose thief was instantly smirking and sidled up to her redheaded opponent. "Oh, aren't you just the best little pixy scout, do you want a reward for helping me out?" She purred deeply, thoroughly freaking Kim out with her tone and proximity. It's funny how you can roll around with someone trying to beat their head in every other day and with a little shift in tone just having them standing close could be this embarrassing.

"Um, um, I'm just trying to show you that you can be like good, and, um…" Kim was beat read as all exposed skin seemed to be trying to emulate her hair color, amusing Shego to no end of course as the she cracked up. "Hah, just seeing that look makes it all worthwhile!!" She cackled as Kim just looked more embarrassed, but when she started actually looking distraught Shego realized she might have rubbed that one in the girls face a bit much.

"Well, I really don't want this on my record, so maybe if we're really quite about the whole thing. Plus then I can drag out getting back to the lair some more, you think Dr. D is whiny most of the time, just imagine him with a cold." She groaned and rubbed her forehead theatrically, earning a chuckle from Kim. "You should see Ron, I swear, from his reaction you would think he had Ebola or something." They both shared a laugh at their less then tough male counterparts.

"Ok, lets go, I can drop you off there and 'borrow' some Coco Moo." Shego said with a grin, there was nothing more fun then screwing with Princess' head, and now she had the flight there to see how embarrassed she could get her. But now that Shego had accepted, Kim was more then a little nervous about her idea, sure Shego had lived with her for awhile, and they had been instant best friends, but that was Shego light. But none the less she followed her 'evil' counterpart outside, hiding in the partial shadow as Shego boldly stood out in the open and pressed the remote to call the hovercraft down from where she had hid it.

"Worried about being seen together Princess?" Shego teased playfully. "Or do you just enjoy the view from back there?" She thrust out her hip a bit and grinned over her shoulder at Kim playfully, easily looking hot in the formfitting cat suit with her raven hair falling over one eye. Kim just gulped and seemed to hide a little deeper in the shadows even though there was no one around, at least as far as they knew.

The writhing entity, or entities, they were unsure at this point as the trip through the divide between worlds had taken all that was left of their combined energies and their minds were fading fast. But they had been drawn through the barrier near two hosts, the powerful wills acting like magnets to the prideful entities, but the trip had taken more out of them then they had foresaw and now they were so twisted together it was like trying to rip off a limb as they pulled apart, each heading for the one they wanted. One headed for the lost hero that lived life in the moment, the other headed for the fallen hero who shielded herself from the world even as she flaunted her abilaties.

Shego smirked over her shoulder as Kim hesitated at the edge of the light, looking around nervously as Shego sat in the pilots seat of the hovercraft, programming in the location of Kim's house into the navigation system of the hovercraft when her mind exploded in agony, a voice not her own howling in relief and hunger as it fed upon the energy in her system, draining away her deep reserves that powered her plasma. All that intruded in her symphony of pain was the screeching howl of torment, at first she thought it was her own voice but even in her pain she would never debase herself by screaming. She finally realized it was Kim, writhing on the ground in pain as she clawed at her head, trying to dig out the chattering inside her skull like insects had invaded her mind and were trying to eat their way out till suddenly she arched so hard her back bowed and Shego could hear the sick crack of overextended muscles and tendons pulling themselves apart till with a shiver Kim went limp.

Panting Shego could feel herself being drained, but whatever this was there was no way she was going to let it do the same it did to her that it did to Kimmie, with pure piss and spite she forced her body to respond, dragging herself over to Kim's prone form she managed to grab one wrist and drag the girl back with her, each step pure agony as she felt like every drop of energy in her body was being sucked dry, each muscle aching like she had run a marathon without drinking a drop of water. Pulling Kim along Shego was lucky she didn't looking back, a long smear of blood along the concrete was left from Kim clawing her face deeply, and with a moan of effort she managed to roughly spill Kim over the edge into the hovercraft, hoping her landing wasn't as bad as the wet sound of flesh on unyielding metal sounded.

Dragging herself to the controls she was just grateful she already had input Kim's house into the system, as her vision began to fade she barely managed to input the commands into the autopilot and engage it, the last sound she heard was the craft powering up as suddenly she found herself falling back and landing not as hard as she would have expected. The shallow breathing of the warm body she had landed on gave her some minor solace as she lost her last grips on consciousness.


Hope you all enjoyed, I hope to post the next chapter in a few days, give or take a few more days depending on if my mind wanders or I get stuck on something else. I love cliffhangers so expect it to be a common occurrence, my memory of The Darkness is not as full as I would like, but I'm basing this off the one side ending where The Darkness destroyed all life on earth, but instead of it escaping on a shuttle in an astronaut to be discovered by aliens, I figured it was a good intro into the KP universe. By the obvious hints anyone who knows the entities in The Darkness have already guessed who the two entities are, and also probably have guessed the little twist at the end.
