[ Flashback ]
"It seems that you've finished all your training in a matter of weeks. When will you be leaving us, Ryū?" The old man leaned back on his chair, raising his pipe to his mouth he looked back to the girl. He inhaled slowly and exhaled away from the girl.
"Soon, Sensei"
"Where will you go?"
"I'm going to return to my homeland, sensei; where I can hopefully protect everyone that's in my sights." Shego smiled as she chuckled a bit before running her fingers through her hair. "I'm going to become a Hero"
"You have great potential Ryū, and morals to match. What ever you chose to be, you will succeed in. This I am certain of. Though there is one thing that still puzzles me" The elderly man rubbed his chin, before looking over at his student.
"And what exactly puzzles you sensei?" Shego looked up at the aging man; he seemed to look more elderly when he was sitting.
"The young girl who came to our doujo, Bastille; she has become quite fond of you, do you realize this?"
Shego rubbed the back of her head "I've noticed but I haven't thought much of it."
"Be careful around her Ryū, I sense something wicked dormant inside of her..."
"I will sensei."
[A month later]
Shego bent over to pick up a black duffel bag, and slung it over her shoulder. With a heavy sigh she looked back at the doujo, the wind blew gently as the trees branches swayed together; almost as if waving. With a nod she turned her back to the doujo and began to walk away.
"SHEGO-DONO!"Bastille's scream seemed to echo louder as it got closer, Shego was suddenly hugged from behind while Bastille was uncontrollably sobbing while holding onto her. "You can't leave..." she spoke in a broken voice.
Shego carefully broke the girl's embrace and knelt down, like a mother would do to her child. "I don't have anything else to learn in this doujo, I can't stay any longer, I'll just be bothering the sensei."
Full streams of tears were leaking out of Bastille's eyes" But yo-you can't leave me!" she tackled Shego down, holding her closely." You can't!"
Shego sat up slowly, and embraced Bastille. "The world needs a protector, Bastille. And I need to put these powers to good use, or else I would have just wasted my time and everyone else's."
"Why?"
"So no one else loses their parents..."
Bastille fell silent, she began to shake a bit before speaking "you don't have to take that burden for me...just stay with me…I'll be happy, I promise!"
"I can't, what about everyone else?"
"Forget everyone else! I don't wanna lose you too!"
Shego set Bastille on the ground, and once again broke the embrace. "You won't, 'cause I won't ever lose to the bad guy! No matter what! "
Bastille started to wipe her eyes, as she looked back up at Shego." When I'm ready, can I be by your side?"
"Of course" Shego patted her on the head before turning around, and picking up her bag she began to walk away again.
"When will we see each other again?" Bastille yelled after Shego
"When Fate brings us together again." Replied Shego as she waved and disappeared out of sight.
[Present; Possible Residence]
"Kim, honey you need to rest. You're body isn't fully healed." Dr. Ann Possible carefully held out her arms in case her daughter lost her balance.
The brave heroine continued to take small steps toward the door before pausing, and leaning on the wall. Her knees were shaking, as her arms hung by her sides. "I can't mom! I just can't lie in bed all day waiting to get better! Shego needs my help!" Kim reached for the door, but paused as she heard a knock.
Dr. Ann Possible pushed Kim aside, guiding her to the living room. "Settle down, Ronald is doing everything he can for her. You can help him, as soon as you feel better." She smiled sweetly, before returning to the door. She opened it slowly "Yes?"
At the door was a girl around 17, she had long black hair, her bangs hovered above her eyes, and two eagle feathers were neatly tucked behind her left ear. Her skin was a light shade of Carmel; she wore a black sleeveless jacket, with skin tight jeans. "Good Afternoon, I'm looking for Miss Kimberly Ann Possible."
For some strange reason, the good doctor decided to look down at the girl's feet. She's barefoot! Pulling the girl inside, Dr. Possible began to scold the girl, about severely damaging her feet, and back by not wearing shoes.
Confused the girl just scratched the back of her head, and looked down to avoid any further scolding. Once it seemed like the doctor was finished she looked back up. "Can you direct me to her location?"
Ann Possible looked at the girl confused for a while, before remembered that she was looking for Kimmie. "She's in the living room." Pointing, the doctor turned around and headed toward the kitchen.
Walking in the direction the woman had pointed, the girl's eyes fixated on a figure lying on the couch. Reaching down, she shook the girl. "Miss Kimberly Ann Possible ! "
Kim didn't move, she seemed to be in a deep sleep. It's that or the girl was ignoring her.
"¡ Oye Princesa Despiertate !" Impatiently the girl shook Kim once more
*Hey, Wake UP Princess*
Kim stirred as her blurry vision went up on the girl, her eyes widened "SHEGO?" Tackling the girl down, Kim embraced the girl tightly. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean for anything to happen to you"
"Wa-wait" The girl's words were cut short by Kim's tackle and embrace. "I'm-I'm" gasp" NOT" gasp " Shego!" The girl managed to pry Kim's arms off of her and created some distance between them.
Kim sat up embarrassed but continued to make eye-contact. "Who are you?"
Gasping she slowly calmed her breathing "My name is Metztli" looking over at the red head again she spoke softly. "If you want to help Shego, than you will tell me everything there is to know about the person who kidnapped you."
"What do you wanna know?"
"Any and everything that you can remember about her; what she wore, what she looked like, where were you and what happened last"
"Well, it all began..."
[Tokyo, Japan]
"No one will ever think of finding us here" Bastille giggled, as she wrapped her arm around Shego's.
"..." Shego's gaze continued to look forward, and remained silent.
"Aw, don't be like that Shego." She smiled sweetly, and pulled her down. "You can finally be happy" She placed a small peck on Shego's cheek before walking out of the room. "Once Kim Possible is out of the way…for good."
[Possible Residence]
Metztli crossed her arms, than looked up at Kim. "Underneath the tough exterior, the sarcasm, and the jokes is a true hero; whether she acknowledges it or not."
"True, I couldn't believe my eyes when she took me to a village in Mexico."
Metztli leaned forward "She actually took you there?"
Not feeling special anymore, Kim nodded her head before making eye-contact with the girl.
Bursting out in laughter, Metztli fell off of the table.
Confused Kim looked at the girl who seemed to be enjoying a good laugh.
After a while Metztli sat up she wiping a tear from her eye than looked back at Kim ."You look like someone just stole your cookie or something!"
Kim blushed and looked away.
After finally calming down she continued "If it's any consolation, I'm not after Shego 'cause I want to be with her. It's because she's my friend. And that's what friends do, they help each other"
"I-I don't want to be with Shego!"
"Are you sure? 'cause your face says other wise"
"You don't understand, I'm Kim Possible; the girl who can do anything!"
"Including gymnastics?"
"Including gymnastics!"
"Martial arts?"
"Definitely martial arts!"
"Even being a lesbian?"
"Even being a les-" Kim's eyes widen, as she looked back at the girl
Metztli smiled as she shrugged her shoulders "I'm just kidding with you! I figured you needed a little cheering up."
Kim chuckled softly and shook her head. "I'm sorry, usually I'm good at hiding what I'm feeling but at the current moment it seems harder than usual."
"Don't apologize, it's not like you can be tough all the time. In some cases you just need to let it out." She smiled softly before getting up and kneeling before Kim, "Well, Miss Possible what percentage would you say that you have recovered?"
"Call me Kim, and I'd say about 100%"
Metztli looked at the girl "So if I picked you up by the throat right now, you'd be able to do a judo throw without breaking a sweat?"
"Anything's Possible for a Possible"
Scoffing she sat on the floor again, than crossed her arms.
"Where are you from?"
"Hm? Oh, I'm from Mexico."
"Really? Is that where you met Shego?"
Rubbing the back of her head, Metztli chuckled "We weren't exactly neighbors."
"Than how did you meet her?"
"You see it all happened when we were about 6 or 5 I can't really remember but I do remember that Shego was older than me by 2 years"
[Flash Back]
A small girl was running across the open fields clutching something close to her chest. The moon bestowed its light upon the dark field which gave the girl an idea of where she was. Knowing that the forest that was a few feet away, she dove right in trying to evade her pursuer. Ducking inside a bush, the girl remained silent as the pursuer got closer. Once the girl heard the footsteps recede, she climbed a nearby tree. The climb was difficult due to the extra weight that she was carrying, but necessary in order to avoid leaving tracks all over the swamp like ground.
Once she reached the tallest tree, the girl sat on a branch. Panting quietly, she than listened to the wind howl. Almost as if it was warning her that danger was coming. A boy ran underneath the tree, before looking around at the ground. Frustrated he slammed his fist into the tree, before running off.
"There you are!" Another boy exclaimed
The girl turned her head in the exact time a boy with black hair and a dark blue shirt jumped over to the branch that she was sitting on. The girl growled quietly before standing up. Half of her face was covered by a tattered green bandanna. Her hazel eyes fumed at the boy, almost like a cornered cat.
Extending his hand the boy's expression became stern "I'll let you go if you just hand it over."
The girl slowly walked over to him, her head bowed, and carrying the items in a blanket.
The boy smiled, as the package hovered above his hand, a small fist was headed towards his face. Surprised the boy was sent flying out of the tree. The girl turned around and continued to run on the tree branches. Stopping once or twice every so often the girl climbed lower and lower. Finally once she reached the center of the forest she went inside a hallow tree.
*Come out of there*
"¡ Salga de ahí* ! A voice from behind her called. It sounded nothing like the boys that were chasing her, so she decided to investigate.
The girl stepped out of the hallowed tree, this time her hands were free and there was nothing to hold her back.
"¡Tu vas a devolver lo que robasteis!"
*You're going to give back what you stole*
Ripping off the bandanna from her mouth, the girl looked across her opponent. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out a piece of string. Quickly braiding her hair, skillfully avoiding the eagle feather the girl finished and did a brief examination of the stranger. The girl was pale white, her eyes emerald green, and she seemed to carry around a warrior spirit.
*I don't have time to play*
"No tengo tiempo para jugar"
Me either
"Yo menos"
You had no right to steal!
"¡Tu no tenias derecho para robar! "
What do you know of the World, White girl?
"¿Que sabes de el mundo, gringa?** "
A lot!
"¡Mucho!"
We'll see
"Vamos a mirar"
What is your name?
"¿Que es tu nombre?"
I'm Metztli the daughter of the Sun
"Soy la hija de el sol, Metztli"
Shego The Hero
"la héroe Shego "
Come on Foreigner/White girl, let's dance
"Ándale Gringa, vamos a bailar"
Shego growled as she charged at Metztli, her fists were balled into fists. If there was anything she hated more than being insulted, it was being underestimated. "Yo te voy a mandar a las estrellas"
I'll send you to the stars!
Using the girl's blind rage into an advantage, Metztli dodged Shego's left hook and countered with a palm thrust upward to Shego's nose. Temporarily blinded by the tears in her eyes Shego instinctively brought up her leg, and kicked the girl away.
"Over there!"
"I hear them!"
Metztli looked around but soon ended up on the floor due to an uppercut from Shego. Slowly sitting up, she was pounded into the floor due to another blow from Shego. Sitting on Metztli's mid-section, Shego swung her right arm back but soon stopped. A little girl grabbed her from behind, while a boy covered Metztli's face, using his body as a shield.
Eagle, let go of her. Bear take eagle away from here
"Aguila, suéltala. Oso, lleva Aguila lejos de aquí "
No! If I let go of her, she will hit you
"No! Si la dejo ir te va a pagar." Cried aguila *Eagle*
She should hit us! We ate the apples!
"Ella nos debe que golpear a nosotros! Nosotros comimos las manzanas! " yelled Oso *bear*
Apples?
"¿Manzanas?" Shego looked down at Metztli
Metztli gave one firm look at the children before they let go of Shego.
"Sí, tu y los mocosos me estaban persiguiendo solo por manzanas"
Yes, you and the brats were chasing me for only apples
Shego stood up and looked down at her "Lo siento"
I'm sorry*
Extending her hand, she smiled softly
It's okay; I would have done the same if I were you
"Esta bien, hiciera lo mismo si fuera tu." Accepting her hand, Metztli was lifted to her feet.
"Metztli, ¿Qué significa?"
Metztli, what does that mean?
Moon
"Luna" Metztli smiled back at the girl "Shego is not your real name is it?"
Shego's eyes widened as she took a step back "You speak English!"
"That's right cupcake"
Shego blushed lightly "Don't call me cupcake!"
"Okay, how about Princess?"
"No!" Shego hissed
Metztli began to laugh, the kids hid behind her now stared up at the stranger.
"Why did you steal those apples?"
Metztlis stopped laughing "So they "Her hands patted the children on the head "can eat"
Shego looked down at the children "Do they have parents?"
"They do, but their mother and father work for 5 cents a day. There is not a lot that you can buy with 10 cents."
"Bring them to my house, we can get them… and you properly fed."
Metztli shook her head "Don't worry about me; it is the younger ones who need to eat."
Shego grabbed the Metztli by the wrist "Let's go"
Mego, and Hego stood in front of the two. "Great job sis! You caught her!"
Metztli broke Shego's grasp, but before she could speak Shego spoke up.
"No, she is going home with us. As a guest!"
[Present day, Possible residence]
"You're kidding me" Kim leaned back on the pillows
"Nope, back in those days Shego was a hero and a humanitarian"
Kim smiled as she chuckled softly "So that's how she started"
Metztli stood up clutching a dagger that was tucked in her belt; jumping over Kim she tackled Yori to the floor. "Why are you here?" The dagger was unsheathed and than pressed against the girl's throat.
"Wait, Luna! She's a friend"
Metztli got up and backed away from the girl she had just tackled. Sheathing the dagger she returned to her original spot.
Yori sat up slowly, than stood up. "Greetings Possible-san"
"Sorry about that Yori."
"It's quite alright; I should have had my guard up."
"What are you doing here anyway?"
"Ron sent me to check up on you"
"Is he alright?"
"Yes, he just wanted to know if Metztli had arrived yet."
"Metztli? But why?"
"You see Possible-san. Me-"
"Oyé, regardless of who you are. You have no right to explain what I'm doing here"
Hey*
Yori giggled softly "Are you still mad?"
Metztli growled "Wanna find out?"
Kim simply stared at the two "Two questions: Why is Luna mad at you? And Luna what are you doing here?"
Yori smirked "I stole her first kiss"
Metztli blushed and crossed her arms. "I'm here to protect you"
"Protect me? Protect me from what?"
**Gringa
Now this is an interesting word, it is mainly used to insult a foreigner who is light skinned. It is said to have been created as a sort of spanglish word.
Grin I believe was used by the Mexicans in the 1900's (don't quote me on this, I'm not sure) as green
And go is actually the word Go in English
It was a way of telling all the Caucasian people to go away or foreigners to go away
I believe it is more directed to Caucasians.
