Chapter Seven: Project VALKYRIE

Kim looked at Veronica. The woman squeezed Kim's hand again. "I know you want to ask me something. I can see it in your face." The green woman told her. Kim took deep breath and put her hand on Veronica's cheek. "Can you stay with me tonight? I can't sleep." Veronica knew Kim's parents, at least her Dad, would get the wrong idea if they checked on Kimmie in the morning, so Veronica wrote a note and stuck it on her…hopeful girlfriend's bedroom door. Pumpkin could not sleep, so I stayed with her last night. Nothing happened! Signed, Veronica Amelia Go. Satisfied, Veronica crawled in bed with Kim. They had to snuggle because of the small bed, and Veronica could hear Kim's heart thudding in her chest. Veronica kissed Kim and wrapped an arm around her. "Kim, relax, ok. I made a promise to your parents, and I won't ruin your or their trust by using this sitch." Kim giggled. "You…slipped, Shego." Kim mumbled as she started to fade into sleep.

While Kim and Veronica slept, no one saw two tiny silver dots on Kim's window curtains. Betty Director watched the pair sleep through cameras attached to nano-ticks. "Kim Possible yet again you managed to do the impossible." The woman said with a small smile. "You captured the heart of a wayward woman and returned her to the light." The Head of GJ said softly. Then, her face turned stern as she remembered the threat Gemini recently made. It was from his hidden mobile base, somewhere under the Pacific, but his threat was no less frightening. "Soon, the human race will face extinction unless I am made ruler." Gemini then produced a holo-screen that showed a very complex genetic code, one that could not be bioengineered by human hands. "I call this beautiful masterpiece the L-Virus. I theorize it came from another Earth, undoubtedly one Amazonian in nature." Gemini said before the camera panned to two henchmen labeled with an Ω (Omega) and a Χ (Chi). Once the men were injected with the virus, their bodies quickly changed into that of two women with wild lust in their eyes as the now hench-women attacked each other veraciously. Then, the camera panned back to Gemini as the two moaned in pleasure off-screen. "As you can see, Sister, though I've tinkered with the virus somewhat, it's basic function is still intact. It rewrites men into lustful lesbians." Betty shook herself of the memory and spoke softly, "A new threat is rising, and I fear that only both of you together can stop it." Betty stood and walked over to Will Du. The agent was calmly watching the integrity of a strange DNA encoding. "Active Project VALKYRIE." Betty ordered.

As Will pushed the button, the nano-ticks responded by scurrying toward their targets. He looked at the Doctor in worry. "With all due respect, ma'am, how do you know this virus won't affect Kim Possible and Veronica Go in a similar manner?" Betty laughed at him. "My brother is foolish. He neglected to inject two women with the 'pure' virus first." The woman smiled. "In his rush for world conquest, my brother forgot to test an unaltered virus within its natural host as a 'control', if you will." She placed her hands behind her back and began to pace as she continued to explain. "If he had done so, Gemini would have found that the virus alters one woman's body structure into that of a weapon of some form when she is aroused, usually dependent upon the Arm's personality. The weapon is biometrical and can only be used by one who is a complement to their person." Will raised an eyebrow at this. "You think Kimberly and Veronica will be an effective counter for your brother's plot?" "Exactly," the woman said as she turned to Will with the ghost of a smile on her face.

Back in Kim's room, the ticks crawled up Kim and Veronica's backs. Then, they sank their metallic jaws into the back of both females' necks. The women only flinched, sighed, and snuggled deeper into each other. In addition to injecting Kim and Veronica with the unaltered Arms Virus, the ticks planted a sim program into their minds. Kim knew she was dreaming. She had to be. The teen looked up, shook her her head, and stood on a beach as the water lapped lazily on the shore behind her. Kim looked around and saw Veronica getting up as well. "Do you have any idea where we are?" Veronica asked. Kim reached for her Kimmunicator to check their location with GPS and found she did not have it. Kim scanned the trees beyond the beach. "I don't know where we are, but it seems familiar." Veronica nodded in agreement. "I know I've seen this before." The green woman confirmed. Suddenly, an angry voice called out in Japanese. Kim turned to the voice and gasped. "Momori…" Kim said in shock. Veronica smiled at the connection. "So Kimmie has seen 'Mermaid'." "It was only on a-" Kim felt sick as she realized there was no sign of Momori's Liberator. "Where's…?" Mirei slammed down in front of Kim, blocked her view of the girl, and glared at her. "Oh…shit!" Kim growled as she was thrown back and used her cheerleader skills to land on her feet. Veronica smiled and ignited her fists. "This could be fun!"

Kim had a thought. "This is Mermaid. We have to play by their rules." Veronica looked at Kim. "Are you sure? I can take them out…" Veronica's argument turned into a moan as Kim captured Veronica's lips in her own. Veronica's body shook and changed into a green set of Medieval knight armor that wrapped itself around Kim minus a helmet. On the arms of the armor were twin blade slots. As Kim walked up to the pair, she heard Veronica from within the suit. I'll tear them apart! At the woman's declaration, the twin blades slid out, coated in Shego's green plasma flame. Kim focused and ran at them. Kim's super-speed was hindered only slightly by the weight of the Veronica Arm. As a result, Mirei only had a few precious milliseconds to block with her Extar's weapon form. Blades clashed and Kim threw Mirei back as she broke blade lock. Then, Kim jumped into the air with all her might. With the right blade as the leading edge, Kim came down hard on her opponent. Out cold once the dust settled, Mirei released her weapon.

Kim woke up with a start. Right away she felt a weight on her body. Kim sat up slowly and heard her bed groan in protest. Kim didn't have time to ask why before the bed shattered with a thunderous *CRACK!" When Kim hit the floor, she heard a metallic thud. "Veronica, wake up!" Kim said in a panic. The question started in Kim's mind but became vocal. What… "*yawn*…is it, Kimmie?" Veronica sat up and looked around. "What happened last night?" Veronica asked as she and Kim looked over to see two pairs of feet, one foot tapping impatiently on the floor, in the doorway to Kim's room. "I want to know too." Kim gulped at the voice of her father. "Mom…Dad…" Kim started, "…I can explain." I hope. Kim added in her mind.
