Some Author's Notes: Welcome to Chapter Nine of Kim's Outer Demons! As always, it's awesome if you made it this far. I will continue to do my best to bring you an exciting story!

Still do not own Kim Possible, still wishing there was some way to fix that.


"Move it ladies!"

That was Tranz's reply to Kim and Shego, deep in the middle of the night.

The past few days had been full of intense training. The women had completed what was deemed as Phase One of Eclipse style. There were still two, far more difficult phases to go through, but all thins in time.

Mastering the energy of the soul was now the topic. With the trust in the soul gained from Phase One, using soul energy should be simple enough.

This was the second night that Tranz gave both women the morning off, only to train them hard during the night, giving them a larger battlefield than the backyard, the entire neighborhood.

Shego's graceful form leapt over a fence with ease. Her eyes scanned the area before leaping again, high into the light of a shining full moon. In her hand was a small beam of white light, something she and Kim learned to summon called a Spirit Baton, a non-lethal training weapon perfect for self-defense, as Tranz had put it.

Her body landed silently on a rooftop and she caught sight of Kim on a powerline. She whistled to herself as she marveled at the illusion of Kim's lightness. It was definitely their training at work. Something about mastering the soul made their heightened abilities…something more.

Running along a thin wire was Kim. She was searching for Tranz, still their opponent in training. She started thinking about how, even with her training before, now that she was messing around with the energy of her soul, she was jumping higher and moving faster. She even seemed lighter.

Kim began thinking about what other things she could do when she fell over, holding her back in pain. Twisting her body, she managed to land on her hands and feet before hopping up, avoiding another blow.

Shego winced as her Pumpkin hit the ground and hopped away. He was here, somewhere, stalking them. She stopped herself from rushing to check on Kim. "That's what he wants," she told herself before hearing, "I also like it when you guys stand still too long and talk out loud, makes you easy to find."

Shego swung her baton at the voice, watching Tranz's body arch out of the way and bring his own baton to her ribcage. "Son of a—" she managed to shout as she swung expertly at him, only to see him shift to the side and bring a powerful leg against arm, sliding it down her arm and pinning her hand to the ground. Counterattack never made it to her mind as his own baton smashed into the back of her skull, dropping her.

"You'll be down for a moment," he said, kneeling to the now growling woman. "Seriously, don't try to get up too fast, it'll hurt worse."

Just then, he realized he'd fallen prey to his own tactics. He'd stood there too long and he's said something, giving him away to Kim, who didn't hesitate to attack. "She's getting good," he thought to himself as he bobbed and weaved out of her strong attacks. Still, even with her improvements, she was dealing with a pro.

He quickly pulled his act together and began to parry her moves when he was kicked from behind by a second Kim that vanished as soon as she made contact. Recovering, Tranz spent a few moments dodging Kim and her split-second double, who kept appearing for a fast blow and vanished as fast as she appeared.

Tranz dropped back and put one foot in front of the other, aiming his baton forward, easing into a position that Kim only saw him assume once before, on the night they met. "Oh no," she got out as he vanished and appeared behind her. "I wouldn't move too fast, if I were you," he called out as she turned and instantly dropped to the ground, bruises forming over her body.

"What was THAT!" She cried out as Tranz knelt to inspect her. He said nothing as he looked over her body and made note of the bruising, a bit of guilt in his eye. "You were…creating a soul double of yourself," he said as he began a healing spell on her. "It's a Moon Dragon technique where you use a bit of your soul and create a copy of yourself…it's a rather amazing move. You actually can attack multiple times at once, giving the illusion of speed. It has to be used just right though, the double only lasts for a fleeting second…I…with my training…can make multiple copies, combined with a heavy burst of speed…it's one of my most lethal moves, just because of how hard it would be to block…sorry Kim, I went a bit crazy there I figure…something about you pulling that move out of nowhere caught me off guard."

"Well," Kim said as the last of her injuries faded, "take it easy on us, we're not perfect just yet.

"Hey Pumpkin," Kim heard Shego call out from the roof where she was downed. "Yeah Shego," She called out. "Did he stop hitting us, or are we still training?" Kim looked to Tranz, who shrugged and said, "Sure, you guys earned it."


Kim and Shego entered their room and like usual, collapsed on Kim's bottom bunk. "You know," Kim said to the older woman, "These last couple of days, you never seem to use your bunk anymore." "Well," Shego replied, "It's simpler and more fun to stay down here with you."

Kim blushed slightly, but that faded as she noted a devious look in Shego's eyes. "Shego, what are you thinking," she asked, getting no reply from her. "Come on Shego, we're tired and aching, we really shouldn't—"

Shego quickly rolled over onto Kim and began tickling the younger girl, who laughed uncontrollably until she finally forced the woman off her. Now it was Kim's turn and she didn't wait a moment before dropping onto Shego and tickling her back. After all, turnabout is fair play, right?

They exchanged bouts of tickling for a few minutes until they were both red in the face from laughing, well, Kim was red in the face, for Shego, it was more a dark green. They finally stopped, Kim on top of Shego, both trying to catch their breath as they stared into each other's eyes.

They kissed. Their lips locked in a passionate embrace that made Kim melt until she found the overwhelming urge to giggle.

Shego had taken the moment to resume her tickle attack on an unsuspecting Kim. "Shego," she got out between laughs, "we were having a moment!" That was all she could say before laughing again as Shego rolled her over, now on top of Kim and replied, "I'm having my own special kind of moment, and we're both enjoying it."


Outside, on the porch, Tranz stared up at the moon in all its full glory. "You know," he told his giant glowing companion, "It's nights like these that make me realize I don't want to be down here. I want to be up there, with you."

"Getting sentimental, are we Little Brother?"

Tranz hopped as he ran off the porch and looked up the roof to see a man standing there. Shoeless, wearing red sweatpants with a black, cotton vest with red lining, the figure jumped to the ground and ran his fingers through his long, shoulder-length red hair. He smiled and flashed his blue eyes and stood there, ready for what would come next.

"HAKKAH!" Tranz found himself shouting as he hugged the man, who gave him a strong embrace. "What are you doing here," Tranz finally asked as he pulled away. "Well," Hakkah started, "I got my own city. I was on my way to Go City and decided to drop you a visit." He glanced up at the house and back to Tranz, "So, you look like you're doing well."

They talked for a bit, Tranz explaining his new adventure in life being a mentor to two of the most lethal women he'd ever come across in his opinion. He made note of their training under him, gaining, "Whoa, whoa, wait, you did an Aura Link Ritual, YOU, a Devil King?" A bit upset, Tranz retorted with, "You're the Fire Clan's Devil King, what's it to you?" "Oh I don't know, something seems STUPID about the concept of making more Devil Kings." "I preformed the seals, they're fine."

After a few moments of uneasy silence, Tranz decided to take the conversation elsewhere. "So, twenty and finished Adrajit training, not bad…of course Little Brother finishes first." "Well," Hakkah quickly said, "Devil Kings naturally go through training fast, and it's not like I spent my entire time training like you, ya stick in the mud. There were other things to do." "Oh yes, the girls, the getting into trouble…" Tranz let himself trail off. "You know it buddy!"

Hakkah patted Tranz hard on the back before asking, "So, these women you're teaching…are they hot?" "What kind of question is that?" Tranz shot back, almost blushing. "It's an honest question," Hakkah said, trying to hold back his laughter. "Well, are they?" "Look," Tranz started to say as he found the words, "They're very beautiful, it's just…" "Just what, you sleeping with 'em? You dog!" "NO," Tranz said a little too loudly. "No," he said again. "They're my students, that wouldn't even be right!" "So you wouldn't mind if I had a go with them?" "Actually I would. Fire Clan's ideas of fast paced relationships and Love 'Em and Leave 'Em won't float well as long as I'm protecting them. Besides, I think they're more into each other."

Raising an eyebrow, Hakkah said, "Kinky, me likey." "Hakkah," Tranz said dryly. "Fine, fine," Hakkah said with his arms up in defeat. "You win." Hakkah smirked a little after saying it to bring to mind, "You know, Arita's still thinking about you." Tranz coughed. Arita was the Devil King of the Water Clan, the Mazuret. While pretty and growing up with a crush on Tranz, he was far too busy to pay attention to her and at this point wasn't interested in the least.

"She's nearby, Jump City," Hakkah continued with a smirk. "Jump City," Hakkah continued, "World's easiest position for a demon hunter as far as I'm concerned." "What makes you say that," asked Tranz. "Well...it has something to do with the fact that it's the home of the Teen Titans…and the Titans beat freakin' Trigon!"

Tranz blinked in disbelief. Trigon was one of the Devil Kings of the demon world, and he could barely believe that he was defeated by anyone, even these Teen Titans. It would indeed be a VERY easy city to be stationed to.

"Such a shame," Hakkah told Tranz. "I was hoping for Jump City. I happen to find that Raven girl pretty hot for the daughter of a demon Devil King. Anyways," He turned to Tranz. "I think I have some things to do. You take care of yourself, don't let those woman get you killed."

Tranz only nodded as his brother from another Clan vanished into the night.


Morning brought silence. Tranz had long since been awake, but it was Kim and Shego's time to sleep. So Tranz waited in his room, doing nothing. After all, it wasn't like he could cook them breakfast or anything.

Afternoon brought a meeting with Ron, whom Kim hadn't talked to in a while thanks to her training. Shego preferred to stay in bed, not particularly thrilled over the thought of greeting the "Sidekick". This brought Tranz his first encounter with Bueno Nacho.

'Don't knock the Naco," Ron told a very skeptical Tranz. "Just try it, it's the bomb!" "Bombs explode!" Tranz quickly pointed out as he looked over his food. "I don't want to explode!" "Dude, it's a saying. Just relax, it's good." "Hehe," Rufus cried out as he took a bite out of Tranz's naco. "Good!" it finished, looking up to see a horrified Tranz.

"The rat just took a bite out of it! I'm not eating it now! Besides, you cannot convince me this is food!"

Kim sighed as Ron and Tranz argued over what food was. How long had it been since she'd talked to him? How long had it been since she abandoned him for training? No, she hadn't abandoned him, but it felt like she did.

She kept deep in thought until a familiar, "Boo-yah!" snapped her mind out of it and Kim made note that Tranz had indeed taken a bite of his food. "Look, Ron," Kim finally managed to say, taking the boy's attention from Tranz and his little victory. "I…" she started to say when Ron interrupted.

"No KP, I need to say something." Ron swallowed hard, fighting the feeling of his throat drying out on him as he tried to find some way to bring his words to the surface. He felt a tug on his shirt and noticed Rufus giving him a 'thumbs up' and he smiled to the naked rodent before continuing his conversation with Kim.

"I wanted to let you know I've been spending a lot of time meditating with my Mystical Monkey Powers and I think I've hit a wall, so to speak. I don't think I can get any better the way I am. That's why I made my decision. I'm leaving Middleton for a little while."

Kim couldn't believe what she heard. Ron was leaving? Ron can't leave! Ron's part of Team Possible! "What do you mean," Kim quickly shouted loud enough for the entire restaurant. "I'm sorry Kim," Ron gave her, "I don't think I'm that much help right now. You have Tranz and Shego, so the three of you can tackle pretty much anything without my help. I'm the sidekick, Kim. I'm the distraction. You don't need a distraction. You need something that can take a demon's head off."

Feeling a sudden urge to well up and cry, Kim fought the emotion down and choked a bit. Ron was serious about this and it didn't look like she could talk him out of this. She was so caught up, she didn't even see Tranz leaving.

"Look, KP," Ron said after a few moments of silence. "It'll be okay. I'm getting transferred to Yamannouchi, I've been there before. Besides, the Ron Man will be back before you even realize he's gone!" He tried to look her in the eye, but she quickly stared at the floor, making him rub his arm in nervous frustration. Getting up from his seat, he gave Kim a hug as a sort of goodbye, not wanting to voice it verbally, and left without another word.

Team Possible was down one member. That was the only thing on Kim's mind. How could he think he was useless? He was Kim's oldest and best friend. He would never be useless to the redhead's eyes. She almost didn't register it when a man in a blue jumpsuit approached her and called her name. Looking up, Kim saw that he obviously belonged to Global Justice.

"Sorry," She said before figuring out why he was here. "Tell Dr. Director that I'm not available to do a mission just right now." "This is no mission ma'am," The man said. "I'm under orders to bring you into headquarters, either of your own will or, if you resist, under arrest. I respect you ma'am. You do things a lot of us can't. I'd prefer not to have to resort to arresting you."

Kim, not in a fighting mood, accepted the man's order and went with him to a black van waiting outside the restaurant.


Global Justice headquarters was always imposing to Kim. There was just something about an organization this big looking to someone like her to work for them that was unsettling. Sure, she saved the world and that was her job as it were. Sure their job is saving the world too. Nevertheless, with all their resources and capabilities, for them to look to her, well it felt like they had no problem placing the weight of the world on her shoulders.

She was led to Dr. Director's office and was shown a seat next to a slightly messed up Shego. The woman looked fine enough, it's just she had a few marks on her body and she smelled like she was on fire recently. There were odd, metallic mittens on her hands, probably to keep her from using her plasma. "Boy," Kim thought, "If they only knew what else she could do right now…" Shego, eager to hide her nervousness, told Kim that when she resisted, they tried to stun her with tasers. When that hadn't worked, thanks to her new demon hunting training and her comet powers, they tried again, the second time with twelve. That had done the trick.

There was no way Kim could understand how Shego felt right now. Sure, she was more powerful than anyone in this building aside from Kim, but these were still authorities that had every right to place her in jail. Part of her told her to flee. Another part told her to stay put. There was even a part that said to hold onto Kim for support and never let go, no matter what.

The sound of Dr. Director entering her office brought both women back to reality. The one-eyed woman sat at her desk and silenced Kim, who tried to say something. "Please, Miss Possible," Dr. Director said, "We can have all the explanation time you need when our other guest arrives."

Other guest? The only thing on the women's minds was that the other guest would have to be Tranz, but could they even get ahold of him? It didn't seem likely. As they both prepared to say that catching him would be a wild goose chase, he entered with Will Du, both smiling, with a look on their faces that looked like they had been laughing over something.

"That guy's hilarious," Tranz said, sitting down as Agent Du left the room. He quickly noticed Shego and Kim staring at him bewildered. "What?" Tranz couldn't understand why they were so amazed at him. He'd laughed in front of them before, at least he thought he had. "How'd they get you," Shego eventually asked. "I didn't think you could get caught," Kim followed.

"It's not so bad," Tranz said. "I left when you and Ron were having your talk and I met Bonnie. We talked for a bit, walked for a bit, then Agent Du approached me and asked if I would come with him. He said it was important and he told me what the other choice would be. I kinda like the guy, he was actually honest about believing that he didn't have the force to take me down if I resisted."

It literally boiled down to 'he was asked and he'd said okay'. Neither girl could believe it, but before they could say anything, Dr. Director began to speak. "Now, Miss Possible, now you can explain to me how you have a deadly, wanted criminal in your house, as well as a veritable ghost."

"You believe in ghosts?" Tranz asked, amazed. Demons were one thing. Ghosts, those were total nonsense.

"She means that they don't have any records of you," Kim told him. "As far as they can tell, you don't exist, but here you are." Tranz nodded in understanding and sat back, letting Kim figure out how to tell Dr. Director of how her life had changed big time. How somehow, demons were real. How somehow, Tranz became her mentor. How somehow, Shego was her fellow pupil. She stopped, waiting for the Head of GJ's answer to all she said.

"Demons," Dr. Director said in a calm voice. "Interesting. We've actually known about them for years. We just can't do a damn thing against them. Now about your relationship with Shego here." Kim was shocked, to say the least. After all she'd said, the most unbelievable thing was that she'd fallen in love with Shego? That can't be right.

"We found each other," Shego replied sharply. "Now what's this about you trying to hunt demons?"

Kim breathed relief at Shego quickly changing the subject. She wasn't particularly sure herself how it had happened, but it had, and 'We Found Each Other' was starting to become their slogan.

It was only around then that Tranz noticed. It was weak, but it was there. He silently cursed himself for not feeling it sooner and he commented, "There's a demon in this building, isn't there?" Dr. Director looked surprised, "This boy is something else," she thought. All the advanced equipment of Global Justice at her disposal and her own people can't narrow down where a demon is without visual confirmation, not yet at least. Here this boy is and he just notices right away.

"Yes, there is," Dr. Director finally said. "It's in holding in one of our R&D departments." Tranz looked confused and went to Kim for help. "Research and Development. They make stuff." He nodded in understanding again. "We can get to that later," Dr. Director said. "It's more important to see how we proceed with you and Shego. After all, neither of you are legal."

Tranz wouldn't go for it, not now. There was business to be done. "Me, I come from a clan of demon hunters. There are six different clans. We've been operating for far longer than you. As for Shego, she's not a criminal now. What's the problem?"

Dr. Director rubbed her temples. Now that he was aware there was a demon, it seemed the boy wouldn't relax. "Tranz," Kim finally said, as if sensing him tensing up. "No Miss Possible," Dr. Director shot in, "He has a mission on his mind. There's something he wants to see. We should let him see it or he might become impossible to get along with."


It had been silent as the group of four rode an elevator to the very depths of the headquarters. It was silent as they marched into R&D department #12. It wasn't silent as they came across the cage of a six foot spider, laying on the ground. It was large, hairy, and had apparently been defanged. Two of its legs had been removed and multiple wires had been inserted into it.

"How'd you capture it," Shego asked as Kim looked away. The sight to her was sickening. "It became trapped under a collapsing building eleven years ago. We recovered it and began studying it." "But why?" Shego asked.

"Because she's trying to fight demons. Aren't you?" Tranz was straight to the point. To a degree, he felt insulted. Demon hunting was something his people were supposed to take care of. "I'm talking to it," he said before approaching the cage. He entered with no hesitation, puzzling Dr. Director, who was sure that the cage was locked.

"Demon," he called out to it. It wearily raised its head at him and hissed before laying back down. "Demon, why are you humiliating yourself like this? You let yourself be captured by them? Subjected yourself to this torture? That's not the demon way, you should have devoured them all." "Ask the woman," came a tired voice, the demon's.

"Doctor Director," asked the soft voice of Kim.

The head of Global Justice sighed heavily. It looked like some explaining was in order. "Eleven years ago, I was still an agent in Global Justice, as was my brother, you know him as Gemini, but back then, he was still Sheldon Director. We had a sibling rivalry that kept us at our best, making us a good team. We did some amazing things together, Miss Possible. We stopped some of the world's most dangerous people. Then one day we caught hint of a string of murders. Normally, Global Justice wouldn't be concerned with the matter, but this was different. Reports claimed it was some creature of genetic mutation. My brother and I were sent out to investigate and we came upon…that…thing. It tried to attack and we countered, doing no good. Eventually, we were chased into a condemned building. This creature attacked wildly, taking out what little support beams that were left. The building was coming down and my brother and I were trying to escape when it interfered, trying to go in for the kill I suppose. It would have had me, but Sheldon intervened. It took his hand. The monster took his hand."

Kim and Shego noticed the tears beginning to swell in Dr. Director as she recalled the story. "We escaped and the building collapsed on it, that freak. Afterwards, while we made an effort to retrieve its body, we discovered it in the rubble, alive somehow." "I took her eye when she got too close," they heard the spider demon say. Ignoring it, they let her finish. "It wasn't long until we started finding more accounts, similar situations. Soon, we understood that there were forces at work that Global Justice didn't know how to contain and we decided to use that abomination to figure out how to fight back."

She laughed to herself a bit, wiping a tear from her eye as her story continued. "It seemed like the more we studied them, the more my brother started to change. It was mild at first, but our sibling rivalry somehow turned into hatred. He started calling himself Gemini and became obsessed with demons and how to control them. Global Justice couldn't sanction his actions and he left, frustrated, but not before ripping his own eye out in blind anger. It wasn't long until he founded the Worldwide Evil Empire and started his own quest for control of demons. To this day, I never knew what happened. We…we would fight, but it was never like this. There was sibling love, now there's only so much anger and hatred. How could he change like that so much?"

Her story finished, Tranz paid close attention to the demon. "Demon," he said. "I've had my back turned to you all this time. I'm in your cage. I'm unarmed. Why haven't you attacked me?" "You're not worth it," it said. "I wouldn't waste my time on you." "Really, so, how many humans have you tried to devour since you were captured?" "Plenty," it said through harsh breathing. "He never attacked anyone after me," Dr. Director corrected.

"Really," Tranz said, interested. "I don't think you can attack humans anymore, demon. Your humanity won't let you." "I have no humanity!" it replied harshly. "I am a proud demon!" "Yes," Tranz added. "A proud demon who let itself be a test subject for eleven years, for lowly humans." "I was biding my time." "For eleven years?"

Tranz made a noise of mockery, prompting the demon to leap with amazing speed and lunge at him. He made no motion to move and the demon stopped inches from his face, giving Tranz a close-up of the arachnid. "Like I thought," he said as it lowered itself.

"Why can't I kill you," it asked angrily. "Why can't I kill ANY of you?" "Do you want to know the answer," Tranz inquired. "You know what's wrong with me, you lie." "It's true, I know, but you might not like the answer." "Tell me," it hissed. "All those years ago, when you were chasing them. You were overconfident. All demons are, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Still, when you attacked her, Dr. Director, you didn't expect her brother to interfere. Further still, when you made contact with him, when you bit into his hand, you did something, something rare. When two powerful souls come into contact like that and one isn't destroyed by the other, they mix and mingle. The problem is that you ate part of him, but not all of him. Normally, it wouldn't be a problem, but I'm willing to bet that his soul was actually stronger than yours. You both gained something from the other. His dark side was released, amplified through your demonic soul while his soul gave you something demons tend to lack on their own, humanity. That's why you let them do this to you."

Everyone was listening intently on his words, almost standing on their toes as Tranz stared into the creature's many eyes, finishing with, "You feel guilty." "You lie!" it roared. Tranz, having enough, left the cage, ignoring the yells of the demon as it rattled its cage. "I have no humanity! I don't feel guilt! I WILL DEVOUR YOU! I WILL DEVOUR ALL OF YOU! DO NOT IGNORE ME BOY!"

"Ma'am," Tranz said. "Can we go back to your office, it's getting noisy."


The trip back to her office was as quiet as the trip to the lab, but for different reasons. Dr. Director didn't expect this level of awareness from the boy, even if he did claim that this was his job. Even Shego and Kim were shocked that he could tell something so minute and discrete from the story.

Sitting down, Dr. Director began the conversation. "Tranz," she said coolly, having time to collect herself. "I want you to know that I will delete Shego's criminal record, and release you, despite your lack of information on one condition. I want you to come to work for Global Justice." Tranz shook his head. "I'm sorry, but I already belong to a clan. Besides, my ways are not for teaching your entire organization. Leave demon hunting to the professionals."

"Hold up, wait a minute," Shego quickly said, "This does get me off the hook, oh great teacher of mine." "I know Shego," Tranz countered, "But I can't agree to sharing my ways with them. There's no way I'd agree to it."

"I don't want you teaching my men," Dr. Director said. "I want you to help my brother." This caught Tranz's attention. "Is there any way for you to help him?" "Well yes," Tranz said, "If we got him near the original demon, we could return both souls to normal, but then you have to deal with a very angry demon that just relearned how to kill." "I'm hardly concerned about that. You seem to know how to deal with such things. It's far more important that Sheldon be stopped from his evil ways. It's more important to bring down WEE. That…and I miss my brother. Please. I won't beg you, but this is very important to me. I'm asking for your help."

Help. It seemed like he was helping way too many people. Kim, Shego, and now, this new woman was asking that he help save her brother's soul. Training and discipline said to refuse and demand to be brought back to his post. Humanity told him that he had to help her. The ever-so-subtle flash of a puppy-dog pout from Kim also put things into perspective.

"I'll do it." He said. "I'll work until your brother's out of the picture, so to speak. After that, you're on your own."

Kim hugged Tranz and whispered, "Thank you," in his ear while Shego, truly ready to leave now that she wasn't going to jail, crossed her arms and made a sound of annoyance.

Dr. Director leaned on her desk, resting on her elbows before saying, "Excellent. Welcome to Global Justice."

A smile from Kim, a look of approval from Dr. Director, and the annoyed frown of Shego. "What have I gotten myself into," was the only thing on Tranz's mind before, "Hakkah's right. Jump City would have been so much simpler…"
