Chapter Seven

Escape

Kim was speeding her light cycle down the empty highway of that lead away from Tron City but the Recognizer was gaining on them and soon enough they had started to fire at them, creating explosion as Kim swerved out of the debris way.

There is no way I can take down this Recognizer in a light cycle, but I know who can, she thought activating her communicator.

"You better have a good reason why Marl isn`t with you Kim," a voice said on the other line.

"Tron, I need your help," Kim said.

"Where are you?"

"Getting out of your city," Kim said, "and I have a Recognizer on my tail. I can`t take it down with my passenger."

"Passenger? What are you talking about Kim?"

"Marl didn`t tell you?" Kim said.

Kaboom.

The Recognizer had fired upon a hanging rock which had fallen over the road, causing Kim to pull the light cycle sideway so that she can avoid the upcoming debris.

"A User got into the Grid today," Kim continued, "and it`s an old friend of mine. Isa had her tagged so I had to get her out of here."

"Meaning you showed your face in public," Tron finished, guessing the last part, "Users, always so unpredictable."

"TRON," Kim called.

"I`m on my way," the security program said, "try to stay alive until then."

"No problem. End of Line."

The communication was cut and Kim turned her head toward the green skinned woman that was hanging on her.

"Can`t you destroy it with your Plasma?"

"At this speed," Shego yelled back, "I can`t get a clear shot…and I don't want to fall off."

"Guess I`ll have to stick to dodging their blasts," Kim responded her.

A large blast created a crater so close to them that Kim nearly lost control of the vehicle.

Easier said than done, she thought.

"Whoa there Pumpkin," Shego said, "Watch where you going will ya?"

Kim glared at the green skinned thief, "I`m sorry, Do you want to drive this light cycle going at almost 200 miles per hours with a Recognizer who want to blast us into pieces?"

"You didn`t have to say it like tha…WATCH OUT,"

Kim noticed the coming debris and swerved the light cycle left but it wasn`t enough as the back wheels of the vehicle got caught in the debris sending the two girls flying off of it, making them slide on the road. The light cycle went spinning out of control before smashing into small blue pieces. Kim got on her feet, her mask reforming off her face.

"Shego are you alright?"

Shego groaned from where she was, bleeding from her forehead.

"I`ll live," Shego said, getting on her feet.

Kim noticed that the Recognizer was coming closer toward them, and she pulled out her disc, and seeing Shego encasing her hands plasma before sending a large blast of it toward the Recognizer, hitting it but hardly doing anything against it, and before Kim could throw her disc at the conductor, a white disc came flying from behind it, derezzing the conductor which send the Recognizer out of control as the large craft started to spin as it crashed on the road.

"GET DOWN," Kim yelled throwing herself on Shego and pulling the thief down with her.

They felt as the Recognizer`s parts flew over them feeling them crash and dissolves as they landed on the side of the road, smoking and burning with bright blue flames. The two girls get back up, looking at the destruction before glancing back toward the coming light cycle that came to a stop in front of them. The driver was a male, masked with his white colored circuit outfit with the most noticeable features was the T shaped light on his chest.

"You`re okay?"

"I`ll live," Kim said, "You know, if you arrived a couple of nanocycle earlier I would still have my light cycle."

Tron threw her a baton, "We`ve got to move before Isa and his Programs get here."

With that he took off and Kim split the baton into two and a light-cycle formatted below her, and she turned toward Shego who was starring at her as if she couldn't believe that she was seeing her again.

"C`mon Shego, we`ll talk at our hideout," the redhead said to her, extending her hand toward the thief.

"A long talk," Shego answered, taking the hand before getting on behind Kim.

The redhead chuckled before nodding and took off after Tron.

Another Recognizer had arrived at the ruins of the one that had been chasing Kim and Shego. A few Programs were inspecting the damage as a familiar orange ship landed on the road. One of the Programs approached it as a yellow circuited and masked Isa stepped out of it.

"Your Excellency, we have lost their signals," he said.

Isa didn`t even say anything as he pulled out his disc and derezzing the Program, drawing the rest attentions. No one dare to speak since he seemed to be shaking with anger.

"Find that User immediately," he said, "Ni, you better bring Shego back alive or her disc after you killed her, or you`ll be next to be derezzed. Understood."

The Program nodded and walked off.

Isa looked at the damage and addressed the rest of the present Programs, "Clean that up."

He walked off toward his ship. He had miscalculated with Shego. Users really were…unpredictable as Hoel had said, but no matter. The User can`t run forever and since the Portal only stay open for a milicycle, they will have to come back to Tron City to get to it.

And he will be ready for them.

"Hoel," he said, arriving at the Main deck of the ship, "I want guards on the Portal at all cycles till it`s closed, understood."

"Off course, Your Excellency."

"And you were right Hoel, Users really are…unpredictable."

A light grin grew on Hoel face, "Now you will listen to my suggestion from this cycle on?"

Isa chuckled.

"Why not,"

Kim and Shego had arrived in the Outlands and were now driving a light Runner which was going through the vast and treacherous terrain. The ride had been silent, not that Kim had expected Shego to say anything to her. But it was strange to her, that after so long seeing a familiar face from her world…

She glanced at the green skinned woman beside her.

She can`t believe Shego was here on the Grid. It was strange…almost surreal seeing the green skinned thief again. She had lost count of the many years she had spent here. Ever since Tron had told her everything, Kim had hoped that she`ll be able to return home someday…

But the Portal had closed on her, and she was stuck inside the Grid, the digital world that Kevin Flynn had created. She had been depressed learning that she couldn`t go back to her world again. That no one will know what happened to her, and she had missed everyone from her world terribly, but as the time passed, her memories started to fade for lack of better words. She was starting to forget about the world beyond the Grid, causing her to start training under Tron, but the security program had never been able to explain to her why she was losing her memories from her world.

Kim shook her head.

She had pulled up toward the greenish glow of the old ruins of Bostrum Colony. Although the place was in ruin now, it was the only place that they could hide at least for a few cycles. Isa had never been able to find them there anyway.

"Princess, where the hell are we?" Shego asked her as the Light Runner came to a stop.

"Bostrum Colony," Kim answered her, "At least, that`s what it used to be many cycles ago."

"Cycles?"

Kim looked at her confused for a minute before saying, "I meant years."

"Oh," Shego said.

She followed the redhead up until they had arrived in a room. Shego glanced around, noticing that the place reminded her a little of Kimmie`s old room back at her house, except the greenish glow that was coming from the surroundings. In the distance, they had a good view of Tron City which was illuminated in the distance. Shego was starring at it, when Kim returned with a small box.

"Here, c`Mon, I`ll treat your wounds," she said.

Shego approached the redhead girl and…

WHAM

Kim was taken aback at the punch she received in the cheeks which send her tumbling backward, dropping the box she was carrying. She turned toward Shego, getting ready to let out an angry retort but was surprised at the hug she received. She simply stood there with Shego hugging her tightly against herself, and ever so slowly, Kim returned the hug.

Not a nice reunion or not...hope you enjoyed, and review...
