I do not own the Kim Possible Characters, they belong solely to Disney, and this is for entertainment purposes only.
Ch.3 Arrival on Themiscyra
Kim looked around as the kraken's hold grew tighter on the ship. If she didn't do something fast she would be making her trip to Hades sooner than she would like. She ran to remove one of the tentacles on the boat, when the kraken brought one down on top of her. The boat rocked from the impact, but luckily Kim was able to catch the kraken's tentacle. She pushed it off the boat, as she searched for something to fight against the beast.
The ship's captain ran up onto the deck. "What's going on?" He asked.
He received his answer when another tentacle gripped the ship. "By the gods!" He exclaimed.
"My sword, get it for me!" Kim told him.
The captain nodded and went to fetch her weapon as more of the crew came aboard to battle the creature. They cut at its tentacles but weren't strong enough to do any damage. The kraken brought two of its tentacles up and grabbed two of the men, pulling them under. Kim rushed the boats side, in an attempt to remove one of the creature's tentacles.
"If I don't hurry, we'll all be sunk." She said.
Kim charged her hands with lightning, and gave a small jolt to the kraken. The kraken roared out as it removed the tentacle and released its hold onto the boat. Kim smiled figuring that she had a strategy, but it wasn't long before the kraken wrapped its tentacle around the boat and applied pressure to it. Kim cursed the creature, as she electrified her fists, but was shaken off balance by the kraken.
"Kim!" The captain called out to her.
Kim turned to see the captain holding her sword. He tossed it and Kim grabbed it out of the air. She smiled as she could finally deal with the beast.
"Now where were we?" She asked the kraken. "Ah yes, I do believe this is the part where I kick your ass off of my ship." The Athenian said.
The kraken roared as it lifted one of its tentacles up and was preparing to smash Kim. Kim smiled as she cut through the tentacle with ease, causing the kraken to roar out in pain. The rest of the crew cheered as Kim had dealt a blow to the mighty sea creature. The creature wasn't done yet, it smashed through the bow of the ship, killing a small group of the crew in the process.
"Damn it." Kim said as the ship began to sink. "Now how am I supposed to get there?" She asked herself.
However Kim knew before she could even think of getting to Themiscyra she would have to deal with the kraken first. She rushed forward avoiding the tentacles as they slammed down crushing and destroying the ship. She leapt up into the air and stabbed the kraken in its head. The kraken roared as it released its grip on the ship, letting the boat sink to the bottom. The kraken quickly submerged itself under the water, but not before taking Kim with it. Wrapping her in its tentacles, it quickly dragged her under.

Mt. Olympus
On Mt. Olympus the gods were called by Zeus, the only ones that did not show were Hera and Hades. Among them were Ares, Hestia, Demeter, Poseidon, Athena, Hermes, Artemis, Hephaestus, Apollo, Aphrodite, and Zeus himself.
"Father why have you summoned us all?" Ares asked.
"It has been brought to my attention that the very foundations of Olympus may be in peril if we do not rally together." He said.
"By what? By whom?" Apollo asked.
"By Kim." Hestia answered.
"That's absurd, Kim would never attack Olympus." Athena said, quick to defend her demi-god sister.
"I agree with Athena, what could possibly lead you to think such things?" Artemis said.
"I predict her feud with my sister Hera, will undoubtly bring much chaos upon Olmypus." Hestia said.
"So what do you propose we do about Kim? If you want I could crush her." Ares suggested.
"No!" Demeter said. "She has proven that she can be trusted. She has completed whatever task we gave her without fail or complaint." Demeter told them. "If anything it is Hera we need to stop."
"What would you suggest dear aunt? That we choose the life of one mere mortal over that of an Olympian?" Ares asked, with a little resentment.
"That mere mortal is your sister Ares."
"She is no sister of mine!" Ares shot back.
"You forget Ares; she has the potential to become an Olympian." Aphrodite told him.
"You say that because she was able to satisfy your needs Aphrodite. Which by the way have you told your husband about?" Ares said as he nodded to Hephaestus.
"Just like I haven't told him about us." She responded.
Ares was about to respond, when Hephaestus spoke. "You both must take me for a fool." He said. "I have known for a long time about your infidelity, Aphrodite. It's by my father's law that I haven't bashed in both of your skulls." Hephaestus said.
"You think you can challenge me Smith God?" Ares said stepping forward.
"Oh my, it seems this Kim has you all worked up. Are you that frightened of her Ares?" Hermes said teasing the War God.
"Do you want a piece of me Hermes?" Ares growled.
Hermes laughed. "I prefer someone more my speed. Don't go thinking just because you caught Aphrodite, means you're fast enough to catch me."
"What are you implying Hermes?" Aphrodite said as she rose from her seat.
"Nothing dear, at least nothing I'd expect you to understand." Hermes replied.
"Why you little bastard." Aphrodite growled.
"ENOUGH!" Zeus said as he slammed his fist down, causing sparks to shoot out, as thunder echoed throughout Olympus. "I did not summon you here to listen to your petty grievances! We are here to discuss the future of Olympus. Now sit down." He said.
Aphrodite, Ares, Hermes and Hephaestus did as they were ordered and without protest.
"Brother if I may speak." Poseidon said. Zeus nodded, allowing him to take the floor.
"I have watched her sail my seas for years now. Just as I have watched Hercules. The girl has promise, and potential. You say that she may become a threat to Olympus, but what if she were made an ally?" Poseidon asked. "Surely she deserves that much."
"Yes, I agree with Poseidon." Artemis said. "She would make a wonderful Olympian."
"But she does not aspire to be an Olympian." Athena told her. "She wishes to remain on earth with her mortal family."
"And it's on earth she shall remain." A voice added, drawing attention to the chamber doors.
They all looked to see Hera entering the room.
"Hera." Artemis said.
"Sorry I'm late I was out running errands, but it looks like I've returned just in time." Hera said. "Now tell me what could have possessed you dear brother to think that a mere mortal such as herself is worthy of the title Olympian?" She questioned Poseidon.
"Well, for one she bested you in battle, dear sister." Poseidon told her with a smirk.
Hera gritted her teeth, but regained her composure. She strode past everyone as she took her seat next to Zeus. "Well, we'll see if she'll be worthy of anything after she faces Hades." Hera said with great confidence.
Hestia and Demeter glared at their sister. "Hera what have you done?" Demeter asked.
"Nothing really, I just gave her a good luck charm is all." Hera said with a shrug.
"That's unlike you." Hermes said.
"Yes, quite unlike you. What charm did you give her?" Hestia asked.
"Our mother's necklace." Hera smiled.
"What!?" Hestia and Demeter said.
"Mother's necklace will drain her of her demi-god powers." Hestia said.
"Exactly." Hera replied.
"How do you expect her to traverse the realm of Hades?" Artemis asked.
"I don't." She said.
"You would endanger the life of my daughter?" Demeter growled.
"She'll rescue Persephone, but it will come at a price." Hera told her fellow Olympians.
"Your fear of this child, has gone too far Hera." Demeter told her.
"I do not fear her." Hera corrected her. "My reasons are simple. Since I cannot take out my aggression on you." She said looking at Zeus. "I'll make your children suffer." Hera said with a wicked smile. "However, if you want me to stop let us take a vote. Agreed?" She asked.
Everyone nodded. "However, those whose feelings would affect the votes will not be allowed to participate, this will extend Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite, Hephaestus and myself." Hera said. "Majority vote decides on what Zeus will have to do, after all it is for the good of all Olympus." She said.
Zeus grunted. "Fine. All in favor?" He asked. Hestia, Demeter, and Poseidon raised their hands. "All against?" Ares, Hermes and Apollo raised theirs.
"It would seem we have reached a stalemate, and need the vote of another." Hera stated.
"Who would we get to cast their vote? Eris, Selene, Triton, Harmonia? Or maybe we should ask Dionysus?" Hermes proposed.
"No, this vote is special, and would require the vote of someone special." Hera spoke up.
"Who do you suggest we ask?" Apollo asked.
"Hades." Hera answered.
"Hades?" Athena questioned. "Why should we allow Hades vote to pass judgment? Surely he would vote against Kim."
"Do you have a problem with my decision Athena?" Hera asked.
"I" Athena was about to say when she heard Kim calling out to her.
'Kim is in trouble!' Athena said in her thoughts.
Athena quickly stood. "Excuse me everyone." She said as she quickly excused herself from the room.
She rushed out to the balcony looking out in the direction Kim had traveled to Themiscyra. 'Athena, give me strength.' She heard Kim say.
Acting quickly Athena clasped her hands together and prayed hard, channeling some of her energy to Kim.

Kim was struggling to free herself as the kraken continued to drag her under. She couldn't free her arms, to cut through the creature's tentacle, and she was running out of air.
'Athena, give me strength!' She asked.
Moments later Kim could feel herself surging with energy. Athena had answered her prayers and amplified Kim's on strength greatly. Pouring some of her strength into the necklace she broke free of the kraken's grip, and charged her hands with electricity.
Hours later
Two women were riding along the coastline on patrol. They exchanged words about their days events and laughed and what not. They both wore similar armor a chestplate, helmet, armor protecting their legs and shins, and a fauld. One woman had cream colored skin, complete with blue eyes and the other had pale skin, with dark green eyes.
They continued to ride down the coast, when the one of them spotted something lying on the beach.
"Shego, what is that?" The woman asked the pale woman.
Shego looked to her right and squinted. "It looks….like a body!" She said. "Come on." She told her comrade as she got off her horse and quickly went to go expect the body.
The two women got closer and Shego's eyes widened when she saw the red hair. "It can't be." She said.
"Shego do you know her?" The amazon asked.
"I do." Shego said as she kneeled down and rolled the body over, revealing an unconscious Kim.
Well Kim has finally made it to Themiscyra, though it wasn't how she intended it to be. Meanwhile the gods discuss her future, will Kim have a future or will she have to spend eternity in the pits of Tartarus?
