Chapter 2: Revenge Is Sore
"Do you, Ronald Dean Stoppable, take this woman, Kimberly Ann Possible, to be your lawfully wedded wife: to love and protect, to care for in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer 'till death do you part?"
"I do."
"Do you, Kimberly Ann Possible, take this man, Ronald Dean Stoppable, to be your lawfully wedded husband: to love and protect, to care for in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer 'till death do you part?"
"I do." Kim's faint whisper was heard.
"Booyah!" Ron jumped up with joy.
"Booyah!" Rufus joined in.
A collective light laugh filled the church at Ron's reaction.
"Sorry, guess I'm rather excited." Ron apologised sheepishly.
"Then by the power vested in me, and a joyful 'booyah', I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss the bride."
Ron didn't need an invitation, he had virtually planted his lips on Kim's before he was told to. The moment their lips touched, Kim felt relief wash over her followed very quickly by the strong electric current that seemed to buzz through her when Ron would kiss her this passionately. The cheering and applauding of the families and friends gathered was the final piece in Kim's road to happiness, finally, she was married to her soul mate.
"I love you so much Kim, you have made me the luckiest man in the galaxy."
"I love you too, Ron." Kim whispered.
Her head started throbbing and pain started to pulse throughout her body. Kim's eyes flew open to reveal what looked like a hospital room. Kim felt very groggy.
"Wha?"
"Afternoon Kimmie. I'm glad to see you are awake." A very familiar female voice said to her.
"Where am I?" Kim asked weakly.
"Hospital sweetie."
"Mother, is that you?"
"Yes honey. How are you feeling?" Anne asked.
"My head hurts and my back is very sore...what happened?"
"You suffered a concussion this morning on your mission at Lowerton Bank. Wade contacted the emergency services and you were brought here. Global Justice's medical experts have looked you over and we both agree that you will stay here until tomorrow." Anne explained.
"Guess that is why I can't remember what happened this morning. Mom, aren't you prevented from looking after me here because we are related?"
"Yes, but I'm having my lunch break now and I couldn't not come and see how my only daughter is recovering from her injuries now could I?"
Kim moaned in response.
"You whispered that you loved Ron just before you came to. What were you dreaming about?" Anne inquired.
"I think...I think it was my wedding day...I remember Ron shouting 'booyah' after I said 'I do'." Kim smiled.
Anne giggled in remembrance of Ron's excitement of the two young lovers getting married.
"Your father and I were so proud of you that day. To finally see our little girl all grown up and marrying the young man who gave everything just to try and make you happy. It was almost the completion of our lives." Anne smiled warmly.
"Almost?"
"Well, we still need grandchildren and for Jim and Tim to both get married too, then our lives will be complete."
Kim felt her heart sink. It should have been her and Ron that would have given her parents their first grandchildren and now she almost thought she would never be a mother herself...almost. Anne sensed Kim's distress and quickly placed her arms around Kim.
"I know you wanted to have a family with Ron, dear."
Kim sighed as the strong desire for rest started to overcome her. Anne noticed how Kim's eyes were slowly closing, so she decided it would be best for now to let her daughter rest and recover.
"Report Mr Load."
"From what I've been able to see from hacking into the banks security cameras is that whoever robbed the bank had access to a short range EMP device. All the security systems just went offline altogether and hacking into other cameras combined with reports from the medical team that arrived to get Agent Possible is that our thief, for some reason, blew a gaping hole in one of the walls to gain entry into the bank." Wade explained his report to Dr. Director.
"Why would someone do that? Go to all the trouble of disabling security just to create a large hole that no-one is going to not see." Dr. Director was confused, and so was Wade.
"That is beyond me. But that isn't the worse part." Wade took a deep breath.
"What is?"
"Agent Possible was outmatched. Whoever attacked the bank was superior to her abilities judging by the injuries she suffered which, as far I can tell, is all but unheard of. Sure, Kim might have lost one or two fights in the past but she was never treated like a plaything before in a fight."
"This is most troubling." Dr. Director pondered for a moment. "Kim is our most effective hand-to-hand combat specialist. You said she was attended to by medics?"
"Yes Dr. Director. She is now recovering in Middleton Hospital and should be discharged tomorrow morning once the doctors are satisfied that she has recovered sufficiently."
"Very well, as soon as she is discharged, have her brought here as we will need her information on what happened." Dr. Director ordered.
"Yes ma'am, I shall oversee it personally." Wade replied as he left.
"Masters, I have returned with what you asked." A distorted, fairly robotic voice stated.
"Well done, Devastator, you have performed well." The voice of Gemini filled the room.
"Indeed, I am very impressed zhat you DEFEATED KIM POSSIBLE EASILY TOO!" Professor Dementor's trademark shout followed on.
"And now we can continue our little numbers game with Kim Possible." The Mathter added.
"So this...robbery...was just a waste of my time?" The strange being known only as Devastator asked.
"Not quite. This was a test to see how well Miss Possible would stand up to your strength." Gemini explained to the creature.
"You mean Mrs. Stoppable." Devastator corrected.
"Stoppable, Possible, zhey are the same person. She has alvays been KIM POSSIBLE TO ME UND I AM TIRED OF HER RUINING MY PLANS!" Dementor raged.
"What now, Masters?"
"In three days you will strike again. This time it will be Upperton Bank. Your target will be Kim Possible and your objective is to...destroy her." Gemini stated.
"Kill Kim Stoppable? I can do that." Devastator replied.
"See that you do. Use whatever means necessary but you MUST broadcast her death to the entire world. Everyone must see the death of their most beloved hero." Gemini ordered.
Devastator nodded and left.
"Gemini, I'm not sure you've factored in every possibility into this equation." Mathter worried.
"Nonsense. That monstrosity is the perfect weapon to destroy Kim Possible. It is invincible and it cannot disobey us or it will shut down and die." Gemini reassured his associate.
"But if it is invincible zhen how can it die?" Dementor queried.
"Invincible to conventional means of dying, like being shot to death or kicked. It is programmed to shut down all vital life support if it attempts to betray us."
With this, the 3 villains all started to laugh evilly.
The following day, Kim was discharged from hospital and immediately brought to Global Justice for debriefing.
"Agent Possible, glad to have you back with us." Dr. Director greeted Kim.
"Thanks. I still feel a little off but I guess I'll be fine in a day or so."
"We need to know who our mystery thief is."
"Getting straight to the point eh? From what I can remember, it's nothing that I've ever seen before."
"No-one you recognise?"
"No...IT was covered in some kind of heavy duty metal armour casing."
"Not even identifiable as male or female?"
"Its voice was distorted and fairly robotic in sound...it was also freakishly strong." Kim explained to her boss.
"Any suggestions on taking it down?"
"An entire army maybe?"
"Kim, this is no time for messing about. I am asking you a serious question." Dr. Director told Kim off.
"I AM being serious." Kim snapped back while wearing a particularly serious expression on her face. She wasn't kidding at all.
"We cannot afford to send an army after one thief."
"This is no ordinary thief." Kim argued.
"This debriefing is over, Agent Possible, see Mr. Load in his lab and speak to him about your findings. He might be able to provide you with a weapon to combat our cyborg thief."
Kim narrowed her eyes at Dr. Director before leaving.
'Stupid bitch doesn't really believe me.' Kim thought.
15 minutes or so later, Kim had explained everything to Wade.
"I'll fix up your Kimmunicator to give an EMP burst. Hopefully that should nullify that things advantage over you and allow you to take it down."
"Thanks Wade, you still rock after all these years of helping me out." Kim patted Wade on his shoulder.
"As you'd say 'no big', Kim."
2 days later.
Kim was not at all surprised to be feeling a sense of déjà vu. Upperton Bank was looking the same: security blown out by EMP and a massive hole in a wall.
"Yep, this thing again." Kim sighed and walked into the bank. "Yo! Metal clad thing! Get your butt out here now so I can kick it!" Kim didn't bother with the sneaky approach this time.
"Threat analysis...Kim Stoppable...surname still apt."
"You know that joke is getting lame now right?"
"Regardless of your threat analysis, I am...pleased...to see you again."
"You? Pleased to see ME?" Kim was intrigued. "Look, do you have a name that I can call you by?"
"I am known only as Devastator."
"Devastator? Oh for the love of...what kind of a name is THAT? You think this is Transformers or something?"
"Explain...Transformers to me."
"Oh never mind, 'Devastator'. I've got a little surprise to stop you this time." Kim grinned as she activated the EMP burst from her wrist Kimmunicator.
A bright blue burst of electromagnetic energy filled the room as the discharge shorted out everything electrical...even though most of them were already shorted out. Devastator cried out in agony as some of it's systems were affected. Kim took advantage of the opportunity to charge and execute a roundhouse kick to Devastator sending the creature to the ground.
"Threat...analysis...update...EMP device...causes...Kim Stoppable to become...a...threat." Devastator stated.
Kim grinned and continued her attacks. Unbeknownst to Kim, her attacks were actually all but worthless, but the EMP burst had shorted out several inhibitor systems within Devastator. It's mind began racing, memoires flooding the mind. Eventually, Devastator roared out and with a well timed thrust of it's left arm, sent Kim flying into the wall.
"No! I will...obey my...masters..." Devastator trailed off as it got back to it's feet.
Devastator moved over to Kim and picked her up by the throat. Kim was close to being knocked out as it was and now she started to fear she was about to die as Devastator's grip slowly tightened.
'If I die...then I'll be with Ron again...if he did die.' Kim thought as blackness overcame her. It was the first time she had ever doubted that he still lived after THAT night.
Devastator stopped squeezing the life out of Kim and hoisted her onto it's shoulder.
"You...Kim Stoppable...you are coming with me." Devastator said as it carried Kim off. "Your death is nigh, and the world...must see it!"
To be continued...
AN: If anyone is slightly confused as to why Kim is Kim Stoppable one moment and then Kim Possible another it is because although she took Ron's surname when they got married, and became Kim Stoppable, professionally she kept being known as Kim Possible. Easier to GJ to have an Agent Stoppable and an Agent Possible (when Ron was still alive) than 2 Agent Stoppables.
