KIM POSSIBLE: TSOD – THE SHADOW OF INFINITY, CHAPTER TWO

"Okay," Monique said, glancing about the flight control area of the hangar of the Team Possible base. "Explain to me again what a singularity bomb is?"

Wade Load, William Goldberg, and Edward Goldberg were all seated at various stations in the flight control area, working frantically at the consoles in front of each of them. The banter between the three were terse and precise; the situation was dire and nothing less than absolute professionalism was acceptable.

Fortunately, William and Edward were the Wego twins, members of the now defunct Team Go. Their superpower, the ability to duplicate themselves, often came in extremely handy. This was one such situation. Sensitive to their wife's frustration, the Wego twins each made a copy of themselves. The two copies then escorted Monique a short distance away.

"You know what a black hole is, right?" the Eddie copy asked Monique.

"Um, I saw the Disney movie one time," Monique offered. "It's... a portal to another universe, right?"

The Will copy shook his head. "No, and that movie was horrible anyway."

Eddie took Monique's hands into his own when he noticed his wife's frustration and confusion heighten. "'Nique, baby, let me try to explain. The amount of gravity an object exerts on other objects around it is dependent on its mass and the mass of the other objects, right?"

Monique nodded. "Yeah, that's why things are heavier on Earth than they are on the Moon. That's simple enough to understand."

"Now," Will added, "Imagine something with so much mass that not even light itself can escape its gravity well."

"Okay, I'm following you," Monique said, glancing from one Wego twin to the other. "But wouldn't something like that be insanely huge? Like bigger than the biggest star huge?"

Eddie shook his head. "Now, imagine something with that much mass existing in the space of a microscopic point. A point smaller than the human eye can see."

Monique's eyes went wide. "Okay, I'm willing to accept that its possible. I mean, I've seen energy conversion teleportation and an elemental creature from a magical universe. Why not that much mass in that little space?"

"It happens when a star's own gravity causes it to collapse in on itself," Will pointed out.

"That's a black hole," Eddie added. "It looks black because even light can't escape it. Eggheads like to call it a singularity, since they like fancy words over simple ones."

"Wait," Monique breathed, suddenly connecting the dots. "So a singularity bomb is a weapon that creates a black hole?"

"Only for the briefest of moments," Will clarified. "Any more than a fraction of a second and even the smallest of singularities could doom the entire planet."

Monique lost her breath for a moment upon hearing that. "Someone just used that against Kim and Shego?"

Both of the Wego twins nodded to that.

"Which means we're dealing with someone who is far more insane than anyone we have ever dealt with before," Eddie ventured.

"Or we're dealing with someone possessed of technology far more advanced than anything we can currently dream of," Will concluded.

Monique wrapped her arms around herself and shook, prompted both Wego copies to step in to comfort their wife.

"Anything is possible for a Possible," Monique breathed unsteadily as she shook, trying to repeat it like a mantra. "Anything is possible for a Possible."

"There's one problem," Eddie said suddenly.

"What?" Monique snapped, more harshly than she had intended.

"We all heard an EX-plosion," Will replied. "The singularity bomb would have sounded like an IM-plosion... like the sound of air being sucked into a vacuum... more a POP than a BANG."

Monique rose a brow to that.

"That means something else went off at the same time as the singularity bomb," Eddie suggested. "Something else blew up..."


"I had all anti-graviton generators focused on aft expulsion," Felix reported, punching several buttons at his co-pilot station as he spoke. "Once I realized what was launched, it was the only thing I could think to do. It just saved our lives by countering the singularity's gravity well slightly, but..."

"But the Firebird still couldn't stand the strain," Shego growled, clutching the steering wheel (or the 'stick') of Team Possible's supersonic transport jet. "The engines exploded and we're going to crash. Thanks for that news flash, Captain Obvious."

Felix punched several more buttons. "Fortunately, I got the cloaking system up, so the BeBes might not follow us to the crash site."

"Thank God for small miracles," Shego growled, jerking the stick to keep the nose of the jet upright while it screamed down across the thickly forested area above which they were flying.

The Firebird hit the ground hard, skidding across the ground for several thousand yards of large forest trees, until finally coming to a rest.

Shego shook her head. Looking around, she noted that Felix was still conscious, if a bit worse for the wear. The front view canopy was irreparably cracked. The control consoles were completely out of sorts and sparked here and there due to the extensive damage. And both the pilot's chamber and the passenger chamber were dark.

"Head count!" Shego yelled.

"I'm not giving any!" came the voice of Shego's wife, Kim Possible.

In spite of herself, Shego busted up laughing at that.

"God damn it, Princess," Shego laughed. "It's serious time."

"I'm alive," came Zita's voice. "Madre de Dios, that hurt like a hijo de puta, though."

"Booyah!" came Rufus's voice. He scampered to the doorway to the pilot's chamber for good measure, using his Mystic Monkey Power aura to gently light up both room.

"I'm alive as well," came Drakken's voice. "Lord knows you've hurt me worse than this."

Shego shook her head with a hidden smirk... mostly because she knew that Drakken was telling the truth.

"We should maintain radio silence," Kim said as she stumbled into the pilot's chamber. "Those Bebes are still up there and they can probably intercept anything we send back home."

"So, what do we do now?" Drakken asked from just on the other side of the doorway.

"We kick your ass for not designing those bitches with a remote off switch?" Shego suggested angrily, standing up from her pilot's seat.

Kim stepped up to her wife and laid a gentle hand on Shego's chest. It wasn't an erotic act, but one to convey that Kim was there to support her wife, both physically and emotionally. "Sunshine, you know that they've evolved since they escaped Drakken's control. Right now, we need to focus on getting back to the base."

Shego took in a deep breath, which was easier thanks to Kim's soft voice and term of endearment. Much in the same way that Shego often called Kim Princess, Cupcake, or Pumpkin, Kim had started calling Shego pet names like Babe, Sunshine, or Angel. Shego knew it was a sign of Kim having grown even more comfortable around Shego and that made her feel even more special... and trusted.

"You're right, Pumpkin," Shego breathed. She then turned to the mad scientist just beyond the doorway. "Sorry, Doc."

Drakken waved off the apology. "Please, Shego. That is certainly not the worst you have dished out to me. It will take much more than that to offend me anymore."

Shego smiled softly, genuinely. "Thanks."

"The way I see it now," Kim said, bringing the focus back to the matter at hand, "We're now dealing with one of two immediate situations. Either the Bebes followed us to this crash site and we're in for the fight of our lives... or they've given up trying to find us and gone on to easier targets."

Shego's eyes went wide at that. "Oh, shit..."

"Marquita...," Zita breathed from behind Drakken.

Felix's expression turned dark. "Not on my watch! Not her or Mari!" Suddenly, a flurry of clinks, chunks, and thuds announced that Felix had converted his wheelchair to its fully armed battle mode.

Kim turned to Drakken. "Get the Firebird's weapons console up and running, Drew. As soon as you do, come out and join us."

Drakken nodded. "Right!"

Kim then stepped past Drakken and looked at the Latina girl standing nearby. "Zita, dear, as soon as Drew has that console active, you know what to do."

Zita nodded grimly.

Kim then turned back around and stepped back into the pilot's chamber. "Okay, Angel, you ready to make some noise?"

"I'm always ready to go make some noise," Shego growled.

With that, Shego turned around and face the broken canopy window. Her two fists became engulfed in intense, green plasma sheathes. She took two steps back then sprang forward. She crashed through the canopy window like a movie action star, tumbling down the broken nose of the Firebird before landing in a crouch on the ground in front of it. She immediately engulfed her entire body in the plasma sheath and shot a large plasma blast straight up into the air.

The plasma blast found its mark. Whether Shego had intended to hit anything or not was no longer an issue. The blast did hit something—a BeBe robot—which promptly exploded in a fit of pyrotechnics.

Kim scrambled out of the Firebird to stand next to her wife. Felix floated up and out of the broken canopy window, hovering near the married lovers. Rufus then emerged, scampering up to the three heroes. The four of them, backs to each other, watched as well over two dozen BeBe robots floated down to surround the heroes. Kim grit her teeth, crouching into a battle stance as the blue trim on her white battle suit began to glow softly. Shego growled to herself, assuming a similar battle stance and allowing the plasma on her clenched, clawed hands to arc back and forth. Felix remained steadfast in where he was hovering, staring at the BeBe robots with grim determination while the pale blue force field he had activated scintillated around him. Rufus started to float up into the air, his blue aura sparking slightly as the area around the heroes began to whip in the wind.

Once the BeBe robots situated themselves around the heroes, a larger, more intimidating, yet still quite feminine BeBe robot dropped down in front of Kim, violently smashing into the ground in a kneeling stance before standing up slowly.

Kim narrowed her eyes at the new robot. "Let me guess. You're the ringleader."

The new robot laughed. "I am the battle leader of this contingent," it replied, its soft, melodic, feminine voice completely counter to its large size. "You may refer to me as Alpha, if designating me as an individual is truly important to you. However, the scant few moments left in your organic lives would not make the effort worthwhile."

Kim clenched her fists and dropped further into her battle stance. "Well, Alpha, care to test that theory?"

Alpha glanced around her. "Dear Miss Possible, do try to compute your odds here. There are four of you. Admittedly, each of you brings a greater than human factor to the battle, but there are only four of you nonetheless. There are 26 of my sisters here, not counting myself, each of whom are capable of quickly overpowering any single one of you. You have already lost this battle."

"Anything is possible for a Possible," Kim growled, glaring at her opponent. "That's Shego and I. Not to mention that Felix and Rufus are honorary Possibles in that regard."

Alpha laughed. The laughter was an electronic tinkle that was extremely disconcerting. "I must admit. Your supreme confidence is most amusing. I shall thoroughly enjoy ripping your spine from your... what?"

Before Alpha could finish her statement, she began to rise up into the air. Her shocked and surprised stance indicated all too clearly that she was not moving under her own volition.

Kim and Shego glanced up to see a new figure floating in the air above them. It was that of a woman, given her slender, attractive curves. But any identifiable features were completely enshrouded in the tattered layers of clothes—all in various earthen colors—covering the figure's body. A large, fluttering scarf emerged from a large, voluminous cowl. Only two glowing green eyes could be seen in the shadow of the cowl. The figure rose a gloved hand, coaxing Alpha up to hover at equal level with the figure.

Alpha flailed helplessly in her new, disadvantaged position. "Who are you? You do not need to answer, for I am running a DNA scan now. Wait... this cannot be! We have just now acquired the samples! There is no way you..."

Before Alpha could finish her statement, the figure clenched her outstretched fist. Suddenly, Alpha crumbled in onto herself as if she were no more than a tin can. The figure then violently opened her gloved hand into a fully stretched position. Alpha exploded into a flurry of fire and metal. Alpha's parts showered down onto the heroes below.

"Woah," Shego breathed.

"Yeah," Kim agreed.

"Wow!" Rufus added.

"Who is that?" Felix asked.

The remaining BeBe robots didn't give Felix a chance to pursue the answer to his question. In unison, the nearly thirty robots turned up their arms and began to fire laser blasts up at the floating figure.

The floating figure simply stretched out her arms. The laser blasts found themselves slamming into an invisible barrier surrounding the figure. After several moments, the BeBe robots stopped firing. But it wasn't from the robots deciding to cease fire. Several of their numbers suddenly flew up into the air as small explosions erupted under each of them.

As the heroes watched in amazement, a new figure, this one far more easily identifiable as a human female, tumbled into view in front of Kim. The woman, possibly in her late twenties, was clearly of Asian descent and was dressed much like a kunoichi ninja from a particularly popular anime television series: a loose-fitting scarf over a form-fitting tabard and wide sash over fishnet body stockings. Long gloves and long boots complimented the almost entirely midnight black ensemble.

"Answers later," the new woman said in a serious tone. "Action now."

Kim nodded grimly. "Okay, Team Possible. Let's do this."

Kim held out her upright right fist to Shego. Shego, as if by instinct, took Kim's wrist in her left hand. Green plasma bled through the ultra-diamond claws on Shego's glove and enshrouded Kim's fist. Kim then took off running, her speed boots carrying her along at a speed that equaled many sports cars. She sped past several BeBe robots, punching each one in turn with her flame-enshrouded fist, rendering irreparable holes in each one of their chests.

Felix rose up into the air and began to fire his shoulder blasters into the BeBe robot fray. Rufus scurried forward and met several BeBe robots head-on, letting the superstrength of his Mystical Monkey Powers to overpower the dangerously powerful robots. Shego leapt forward and used her flame-enshrouded claws to rip apart one BeBe robot after another.

The new woman tumbled over the top of several robots, running along the sides of several nearby trees before pulling the nearly invisible wire she was holding tight and causing four BeBe robots to slam unnaturally together. The woman than spun and tossed several shuriken at the robots. A small beeping sound emanated from the shuriken before they exploded violently, taking the robots with them.

The mysterious floating figure rose her hands as if she were a conductor signaling a crescendo from her orchestra. Six robots rose up in response, flailing about helplessly. The figure then spun around like a top and tilted back. All six robots flew around the figure as if planets around a sun, only at supersonic speeds. All six robots smashed violently into the ground as a result, shattering into millions of metallic pieces.

Kim skidded to a halt next to Shego. Shego leapt into the air, somersaulting backwards. On Shego's descent, Kim grabbed Shego's ankles and spun around. Kim released Shego, throwing her at several BeBe robots rushing in on the two women. At the speed that Shego was flying, her ultra-diamond claws raked right through the robots as if they were butter. Shego then kicked off of a nearby tree and fell like feral cat onto yet another robot.

The ninja woman tumbled past Kim and drew a small rod from her belt pouch. After she punched a button on the side of the rod, the rod extended into a full-fledged naginata. Twirling it like fan blades, the ninja woman dove into several nearby robots and sliced them to shreds.

Felix and Rufus continued their onslaught on the robots on their side of the battefield, doing a fairly decent job of keeping pace with the women in the battle.

The mysterious figure floated gently to the ground in the center of over half a dozen robots. The robots turned to acknowledge their new foe. As they moved to close in on the figure, the figure extended one hand. Green plasma, taking on the solid shape of a humongous claymore sword, materialized in her hand. She spun around once then allowed the sword to dissipate. The robots surrounding her tumbled in half as if trees in a lumberyard.

Kim smashed two robots' head together and then looked around. All of the robots had been eliminated, if appearances could be believed. She took in a deep breath. "Well, that was interesting."

"Bon-Bon's got a lot of explaining to do," Shego hissed, storming up to Kim. "This goes way beyond Senior's whole 'Evil as a hobby' thing. She just tried to kill us... and almost succeeded."

"It was not Bonnie Senior," the ninja woman said, stepping up to Kim and Shego. "If history serves me correctly, it was established that the BeBe robots had infiltrated the Senior organization on false pretenses and then went rogue when their goal was achieved."

"And... you are?" Kim asked, folding her arms in front of her.

The mysterious figure walked up next to the ninja woman as the latter nodded solemnly.

"You may call me Oni," the ninja woman replied. She then indicated the mysterious figure beside her. "I am the protector and companion of the Perfect Weapon. That would be Roz here."

"Well, Oni, Roz," Kim sighed. "It would seem that you know more about what's going on than we do. And after what I just saw, especially from Roz, I suspect diplomacy is our better option. Would you be so kind as to accompany us back to our base so that we may safely compare notes."

Oni clasped her right fist in her left hand and bowed before Kim and Shego. "It would be my honor to escort you back to your base."

"You're not...," Kim started to argue. "Fine, whatever. You're escorting us. Honestly, as long as I'm on your good side, I feel safer for myself and my teammates." Kim then tapped the Kimmunicator in her left glove. "Wade, you there, bud?"

"KIM!" came the scream of not one, but three voices. After a brief moment, one voice took over.

"Kim, what's the sitch?" Wade's voice asked. "Is everyone okay?"

"Yeah, Wade, we're all fine," Kim said. She then smiled humorlessly up at Oni and Roz. "Thanks to some new friends. The Firebird is totaled, though. Can you get us a ride?"

"Wow, I haven't had to do that for you in almost six years," Wade laughed. "The RCMP is already on its way to your crash site, so it shouldn't take too much for me to arrange a transport from them. They owe you for a lot, anyway."

"Please and thank you," Kim smiled. "You rock, Wade."

"Hey, just doing what I do," Wade replied before disconnecting.

Kim blinked at a gentle hand coming to rest on her shoulder. Turning, Kim's olive eyes settled onto Shego's emerald eyes.

"How are you holding up, Princess?" Shego asked. "That was intense, even for me. So..."

"I'm fine, Angel," Kim smiled. "A little shaken and full of unanswered questions, but I'm fine."

With that, Kim settled into Shego's embrace, resting her head on the older woman's shoulder. Neither woman noticed how Roz bowed her cowled head to that.

"Cower in fear, BeBes!" a voice suddenly rang across the landscape. "I brought you into this world, I will most certainly take you back out of it!"

The heroes all turned to look at Drakken, who had just emerged from the canopy window of the Firebird. He suddenly erupted into a fiery nimbus of blue flame, glaring gleefully across the battlefield. The display was enough for everyone except for Kim and Shego to take a step back. Drakken scanned the battlefield in anticipation before finally realizing—there was no longer any battle to fight. Dejected, he slumped his shoulders and dowsed his elemental fire powers.

"I'm too late, aren't I?" Drakken asked sullenly.

Kim chuckled softly as she snuggled into Shego's arms. "Thank you for getting the Firebird's weapons systems back online, Drew."

Drakken blinked and then stood up with decidedly more confidence. "My repair works also means that the Firebird's signal beacon is back online, too. Rescue workers should have no problem finding us now."

"Doctor D, our hero," Shego laughed sarcastically. She was rewarded was a nuzzle and a smirk from her wife.


The RCMP van pulled up alongside of the beach outside of the hidden base that Team Possible used. The driver stepped out and opened up the side door to the van. Shego stepped out and helped Kim out. Rufus was asleep on Kim's shoulder. Shego then helped Zita out, followed by Oni. Oni then turned and helped Roz out of the van. Felix floated down next to the van in his tricked-out wheelchair in hovercraft mode.

Kim turned to the driver. "Thank you, Sergeant Moulds," she said, shaking the Mountie's hand. "I really appreciate you getting us back here like this."

"It was my pleasure, Miss Possible," Sergeant Moulds replied, smiling. "With all of the aid that you've provided the Force in the last five years, this is the least we could do."

"Well, let's get inside," Shego said, turning to the others. "It's almost dinner time and the little hellions probably miss us something fierce."

"After today," Zita smiled, stepping up beside Felix, who had just converted his wheelchair back into 'normal' mode, "I'm looking forward to an evening with just mi hombre y mi niña."

"I'm calling dibs on the hot springs room," Shego laughed. "As soon as Kimmie and I take care of a few things."

The RCMP driver climbed into the van and drove off as everyone else shuffled down the beach towards the hidden elevator that was nearby. As the group walked along, Roz stopped and turned to gaze out over the ocean towards the setting sun. Kim noticed that and approached the woman.

"I can't blame you for admiring the view," Kim smiled, looking at the woman. Roz still had her cowl pulled tightly over her head, allowing none of her features to be revealed. "I remember spending several nights out here, just watching the sunset. That was before I admitted to Shego that I might be in love with her. It seems like ages ago."

Roz turned and looked at Kim. Kim smiled and glanced back at Roz. "I'm sorry. I'm being like an old hen, reminiscing on the past. But they're such good mem..."

Kim had to pause at that point. Looking into Roz's cowl, Kim noticed it for the first time. Roz's eyes were dichromatic. While they were both green, one was a darker, olive green while the other was a brighter, emerald green.

Shego, who had noticed that Kim had stopped to talk to Roz, walked up next to her wife. "What's wrong, Princess?"

Kim closed her eyes quickly and turned to Shego. "I'm being rude and staring, that's what's wrong."

Roz blinked and then turned away, huddling in onto herself. Oni was immediately next to her, as if appearing out of thin air, wrapping her arms around the shorter Roz. Oni and Roz stood there for several moments, Oni simply holding Roz as the two of them looked into each other's eyes. Roz then nodded and turned back to Kim and Shego.

"Kim, Shego," Oni began. "What we're about to tell you is probably going to seem beyond belief. Please allow us the honor of the benefit of the doubt and allow us to tell you our entire story."

"I can promise you that I will approach this with a rational mind," Kim said. "I can't speak for this ferociously beautiful yet ferociously temperamental creature here."

"Flattery will get you everywhere, Pumpkin," Shego smirked sarcastically at Kim. She then turned to Oni and Roz. "I'll try to behave myself for this. But be forewarned. I reserve the right to make snarky, sarcastic comments should the impulse arise."

Oni nodded and turned to Roz. Roz took a deep breath and threw back her cowl. She then unwrapped her scarf from around her mouth and nose.

Kim and Shego both lost their breath at that point.

Roz was an exquisitely beautiful young woman. She couldn't have been older than 17 or 18 years. Her soft skin was a pale, creamy color with a subtle hint of green. Light green freckles highlighted her cheeks and her neck. Her doe-like dichromatic eyes were set above a button nose and full red lips. Her long, raven-black hair was luxurious and shiny... and possessed an impossible undertone of...

RED?

Kim and Shego could only stare at Roz in disbelief for several moments.

"Who...," Shego finally asked, unsteadily. "Who are you?"

Oni braced herself. "Roz's full name is Roslyn Anne Marie Possible. She... she's your daughter. From the future."
