I do not own the Kim Possible Characters. They all solely belong to Disney. I also do not own the AvP characters as well, as they each belong to their respective owners whose names escape me at the moment.

Ch. 9 Over the Limits

Shego finds herself running down a tunnel of darkness, at the end of this darkness was light. In this light was Kim. She is out of breath, no matter how far or long she runs, she can never keep up. Kim gets farther and farther away.

"Dammit." She says. "Why is it so hard to catch you? Why when we are alone like this is it so hard for me?" she says as Kim stares at her from the light.

"I know you can hear me Kimmie! I want you to know that…" she says before waking up in the real world.

'It was..just a dream?' she thought. Then the pain coming from the back of her head got her attention.

'Why does my head hurt?' she took a minute to ponder everything.

She suddenly remembered her fight with predator. How she buried him alive underneath all that rubble. How she protected Betty from it, but most importantly that she came down here to save Kim. That's when realization hit her. She was moving but it was not her that was moving, she was being carried, but by who? She took a few seconds to observe then realized it was Kim. How long has she been carrying her? It didn't matter she succeeded in finding her, or rather being found, so now she just had to get them out.

She immediately got off of Kim's back, which surprised the red head.

"Shego are you feeling alright?" she asked the villainess.

"Peachy." She replied while rubbing the sore spot on the back of her head.

"I see you found the buffoon, but where's Dr. D and that other ninja girl?" Shego asked.

"Shego, they didn't make it." Kim told her.

Her eyes widened a little at the news. She never expected this to happen, especially not on Possibles watch. She looked Kim in the eyes.

"How?" Being the only thing she could muster to say.

"They had one of those creatures implanted in them, by the time I got there it was too late." Kim told her.

"Oh." She said a little grief stricken at the fact.

"Oh? That's all you have to say for yourself." Ron suddenly spoke up.

Their eyes turned to Ron.

"Yori died because of you, and all you have to say is Oh?" Ron said in a accusing voice.

"My fault, how was I supposed to know that you were bringing her along? How was I supposed to know you guys were even coming?" She shot back. "If anything I told Drakken it was a bad idea to come here in the first place."

"Then the way I see it, Drakken got what he deserves and it wasn't pretty. It's only a matter of time before you get yours." He said to her.

Kim never heard Ron talk like this before. Yori's death saddened hit him hard, and while there may be little truth to what Ron says, doesn't give him the right to point fingers, no matter how right he is. Kim turned to face Shego.

"Why did you come down here then if it was a bad idea?" She asked Shego.

"Well there were many reasons, one of them being that I get paid to do things like this." She responded.

"It was your selfishness and greed, and your blatant disregard for others." Ron added in.

"You know what Stoppable?" she said as she walked up to him. "You gotta problem with me? Fine! We'll settle this after we get outta this hellhole, got it?" she told him while as she poked him in the chest making her point more clear.

He grabbed her hand tightly. "Don't Touch Me." He said.

"Sitting around here pointing fingers won't get us out of here any faster. Besides we got like an hour before we reach the surface anyway." Kim said as she pointed towards the way that would lead them out.

As they walked, the roar of the Queen Xenomorph. The sound traveled throughout the whole pyramid. It was a frightening roar, only because it came from a terrifying creature. It was surely more frightening than anything DNAmy could make. Still she wanted to get out before it ever had the chance to. They had been walking for ten minutes when they came to a dead end.

"We'll have to wait until the pyramid shifts again then we-" she said before Shego blasted a hole in the wall. "Shego! Are you trying to kill us!" Kim asked.

She rolled her eyes. " Look I don't have time to wait for those…Things to show up and pick us off. You needed an exit, so I made one." She retorted.

"You might bring this whole place down on top of our heads." Kim shot back.

"So sue me." She said with her usual smirk.

She stepped through the hole, ending their discussion. Shego hoped she didn't have to keep that up, she was running low on energy after her last skirmish, and didn't want to over exert herself. Kim on the other hand found herself beginning to agree with Ron's earlier statement. Shego was indeed a selfish person, as she seemed to care for no one other than herself. But was she really willing to end it all here? In a place like this?

'No' Kim thought. She refused to let the road of life end in this dismal place. No matter what these creatures or Shego might have in store for her. She was going to get her and her friends out of here.

In the Queen's Chamber, several Xenomorphs had entered and made their way towards the queen. She hissed, giving them their next order. They climbed up her restraints and began to attack her. In actuality they were using her acidic blood to eat through her chains.

Meanwhile the others continued on their trek towards eventual freedom. Shego was staying alert; she did not want to be caught off guard again. She was following behind Kim only because she did not have the map showing the way out. Still she unlike her Kim was in good condition, besides the scratch on her left cheek; she had been doing a great job surviving in here. A lot better than Shego, as her jumpsuit was torn and tired. Her old wound was beginning to open back up, she really needed some rest. Then she would come back and challenge Kimmie to another fight, that among other things.

Ron on the other hand was watching her carefully. He'll be damned before he let her take someone else important from him. He brushed past her, to keep some distance between her and Kim. Shego did take slight offense to his actions, only because he got in between her and the red head. It seems someone or something was always preventing her from really getting to the cheerleader. Just like her dream, she was so close to her but very far away.

She knew what she wanted from Kim, but Kim didn't.

'I always act accordingly every time we trade blows. I rob a place, she shows up to stop me. Drakken says something stupid, she comments, then I try to catch her off guard while saying something smart. We exchange blows, and remarks. She stops Drakken's idiotic plans and we either escape or get caught.' She said in her thoughts.

'Just for once. Just once I wish-'"Another dead end." Kim announced cutting Shego off from her thoughts.

Shego walked up, and ignited her hands again. She blasted another hole in the wall, for them to cross over to. But they were beginning to take its toll on her.

"You shouldn't over exert yourself like that." Kim said as went up to check up on the pale woman.

"I'm fine." She said moving away from Kim.

She appreciated the gesture, but her attitude and personality, kept her from getting close to the red head as well. A personal problem she would have to deal with once they were out of here. She stood up, and gestured for Kim to lead the way.

They traversed through the shifting environment set by Kim's kimmuincator. They were nearing the end of the journey, when the pyramid shifted cutting off their route. Shego stepped up to blast yet another hole into the wall, but was stopped by Kim.

"No, we can wait, you need to conserve whatever energy you have left." She spoke.

Shego in turn was grateful she didn't have to waste any energy, now she could spend this time resting. came and sat down next to her. They sat with their heads slightly turned away from the other. They sat there in silence before Betty decided to speak up.

"Thank You." She whispered to the pale woman.

Shego turned slightly

"What?" she whispered back.

"Thank you, for saving me back there. I know you didn't have to."

"Your damn right I didn't have to. Especially since you try to make my life a living hell." Shego replied

"You're an internationally wanted criminal, it's my job to make your life a living hell." Betty said.

"Well that's what I had Drakken for." Shego said turning her head away once again.

Dr. Director chuckled. "Well I don't suppose you'd give up your life of villainy, now that he's gone would you?"

Shego put her hand on her chin and closed her eyes, and seemed to be in deep thought before she spoke up.

"So you want me to give up, the money, the perks, and the chance to fight little Ms. Perfect." She gestured towards Kim "For what now?"

"Well you could always work for me." She joked.

"!" Shego said imitating a buzzer. "Not gonna happen Doc. 1) You would never catch me in one of…those." She pointed at Betty's uniform. " 2) My superhero days are long since done."

'That's right she did used to be a member of Team Go, before trading that in for a life of crime.' She thought. Which got Director thinking back on something Shego said earlier.

"I'm curious Shego." She stated, starting up the conversation once again.

Shego gave her a puzzled look. "Curious how?" she responded.

Dr. Director looked at her, until she got the gist of what Shego thought she was implying. A slight blush ran over her face.

"God NO!" she said clearing up that little incident.
"I meant about what you said referring to Kim. I wanted to know is she the reason you do what you do."

Shego looked over to Kim who herself appeared to be in deep thought herself, before turning back to face Director.

"Yup." Was her only answer.

Betty raised her eyebrow. "If that's the reason, why don't you just go up to her and fight her then?" she asked.

Shego shook her head, she knew that no one would understand why she wanted to fight Kim, even if she explained it, but she was going to try. Just this once.

She let out a sigh before she began. "There's a certain way you gotta go about that." She said

Betty looked confused at her answer, just staring hoping that she would elaborate more in hopes of better understanding.

"I mean sure I could just go up to her and fight her, but that would be plain boring" she said dryly.
"Now when you're talking life or death, where we push ourselves to the very limits, where our strength has to be greater than our opponents…." She said trailing off in hopes that Director understood before she have to explain anymore.

She nodded showing that she understood, after she had an evil twin out there, whom she competed almost daily with.

"So what are you gonna do if you finally beat her?" she asked. Her eye focused intensely on Shego.

Shego sat there looking at betty trying to read at what she was implying. It didn't take her long to figure it out.

"I wont kill her if that's what you're thinking. If I did that I wouldn't have anyone else left to fight." She said with a slight smile.

On Kim's end she was waiting for their passage to open up, they were nearly to the exit. They just had to go through one more room. She also found it strange that they didn't see any serpents. While she was thankful for it, it seemed quite strange.

'They seemed to have vanished when the Queen began roaring.' She guessed that they might be trying to free her. Which definitely meant it was time to haul ass and get out.

Just then the passage opened up, revealing the way to their next step in obtaining freedom.

"O.K." she said. Turning to face the rest.
"Is everybody ready to go?" she asked.

They nodded. With that they all headed off to meet their newest and biggest challenge yet.

Well while there was no action, im planning a whole lot of it, in the next chapters to come and I wouldn't mind some suggestions to help improve this story.
