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. 10 One More Challenge
As Shego walked down the corridor alongside, the rest of the group she couldn't shake this feeling of dread. Once more it felt like all eyes were on her. She didn't know how right she was. As the group walked away, another predator continued to stalk them. Switching vision modes, it stopped when it went into thermal. Even though weakened, Shego still gave off a high reading, something that had to be dealt with, if he wanted to hunt properly.
He opened up the device on his wrist and entered in some sort of command, and closed the device. On the groups end, they had just come to a fork in the road. Kim looked at the map on her Kimmunicator.
"The map says we should go this way, it's a straight shot to the stairwell that leads to the top." She pointed out.
The group merely nodded in agreement, and began to walk in the direction indicated, when these beams of light suddenly shot out, and cut them off.
'This is new.' Kim thought.
But not for Shego and Dr. Director. They've encountered this before, and knew what was the cause of it was. Seeing as how it cut off one of their paths and not both meant that it wanted them to go down that corridor. As much as she hated to, she relented and decided to take the suggested path.
"Kim." She spoke up.
The red head turned upon hearing her named called, giving Shego her attention.
"I think we should go this way." She announced.
"Why?" Kim questioned.
"Trust me." Shego replied as she walked down the corridor.
"I say we leave her." Ron whispered.
Kim glared at him, and Ron was about to respond but was cut off by Shego.
"I heard that Stoppable!" she said from upfront.
They eventually entered a room, almost identical to the one Shego had encountered the first predator in. This room seemed to be full of pictographs, yet again telling of ancient times of man, hunter, and prey. There was only one exit, and it had a pictograph of a giant serpent.
"Now what?" Kim asked Shego.
"We wait." She answered.
She looked at Shego puzzled. She turned to Director for a clue to what was happening. She only nodded in agreement with Shego. Predator, who remained cloaked, also eyed the pale woman. It was like she was waiting for something. She indeed was, she was trying to tune into her sense of hearing as good as possible. She knew that sight was useless in this fight unless she could strip him of his cloaking abilities. So for now she would stand there in silence until he made his move.
'I have enough energy to kill one more of these things, after that.' She stopped herself. She didn't want to think of what would happen, once she had run out of energy in a place like this. Predator stalked her from above. Moving quietly to get the finishing blow from behind. As he walked, his foot, caused some of the ancient stone crumble, and a small chunk came loose, hitting the ground to Shego's right.
She responded immediately throwing a jolt of plasma in that direction, striking the wall.
'Did I get him?' she thought. Her answer came when she felt something pick her up from behind. The hunter had his hand wrapped around her throat.
To Kim and the rest it was if she was floating in the air.
"Ron, we have to help her!" she exclaimed.
He gave his best friend a 'are you serious' look. There was no way he was going to help Shego. Not after what happened to Yori. The way he saw it, she was getting what she deserved. Kim rushed in to save Shego. She was probably just 3 feet away from her when she suddenly went sailing across the room.
"KIM!" Ron yelled in distress.
She hit the wall with a sickening thud, as her body collided with the wall. She had to catch her breath, from having the wind knocked out of her, and on top of that her head was spinning. It hurt to move, realizing she must have hit the wall harder than she thought.
Seeing Kim get thrown away liked that angered the villainess, making her blood boil, which in turn caused her body temperature to rise. Predator picked up on this strange occurrence. His thermal sensors indicated that her body temperature was beginning to exceed 300 degrees F. She began to burn his hand, and the energy emitting from her was temporarily interfering with his technology. She was able to disrupt his cloaking ability, and revealed not one, but two Predators.
Unable to keep hold on Shego he let go, and she quickly got some space in between them. Never before has she made her body heat rise that high and she hoped she wouldn't have to do it again. That little stunt took its toll on her, and she dropped on one knee. Both hunters looked at one another.
"We will dispose of this "Filth" and finish the hunt." Was the message that appeared on the visor of the 1st Predator.
He nodded in response, and they both turned to face Shego and Kim. They then cloaked themselves once more.
'Just great, this is just my luck. Backed into a corner with no way out.' She thought. She looked back at Kim who was still recovering from the recoil.
"You o.k. princess?" she asked.
"I'll manage. What about you?" Kim responded.
"I've been in worse situations."
Shego struggled to get up. There was no way she could take on one of them in her condition, let alone two of them. There was only one option she could think of.
"Kim, I'll distract them, while I do that you get everybody out." She ordered.
"What? There's no way I'm leaving you to fight them on your own. You won't survive."
"I know." Shego answered solemnly.
Kim walked up to her side. She was pretty messed up, not like Shego was, but it was bad. She looked over to Ron who was waiting for her to give him some incentive on what the next move was.
"Ron, take Dr. Director and make a run for it!" she yelled across the room.
"No way KP, No can do! There is no way I'm doing that!" he yelled back.
"I already had to leave Yori, I'm not leaving you too."
"Ron this is bigger than us. If these get out, who knows what that can spell for mankind. You need to get to Wade. See if he can get in touch with the government, somebody who can put an end to this."
"No need." Dr. Director interjected. " The Chopper that we arrived in has enough firepower to bury this place."
"Good. As soon as you make it out, bomb this place, understood?" Kim asked.
Dr. Director nodded in agreement. She turned to walk down the hall. Ron stood there motionless he didn't want to leave Kim, he couldn't leave her. Plus he didn't like the sound of burying his best friend in a place filled with monsters.
"Ron what are you doing? GO!"
"No. I won't. I won't leave you, not here and not with her!" he directed towards Shego.
"Ron this isn't up for debate! The exit is a straight-" Kim said as she was cut off, by Predator grabbing her by the throat.
Caught off guard, Shego was sent flying into the wall. Ron was about to run to her aid, when Rufus once more jumped onto his shoulder. Chattering, and pulling on his collar, motioning for him to follow Betty out the pyramid. Ron what he considered his better judgment, complied with Kim's order. He grabbed the Kimmunicator she dropped and followed after Betty. On Shego's end, she snapped back to consciousness in enough time to throw a plasma bolt and the Predator holding Kim. While it wasn't strong enough to make him release her, she was sure another shot would suffice.
Before she could act the second predator gave her an invisible kick to her gut, sending her across the room. While Kim could not see the one holding her, she could hear the sound of his wristblades ejecting out. She began to panic. Then she reached for her pouch, and felt around for one of her gadgets. She pulled out some lipstick and popped the top open with her thumb. She raised her arm and aimed, when it fired, it shot out some sticky substance the began to cover the Predator from the neck up.
Interfering with his helmets optic sensors he released the girl in order to remove the gunk.
'Didn't think that would work.' She thought.
Using this moment as her chance to attack. She performed a roundhouse kick, to the creatures now identifiable face. She couldn't tell if she did any damage but she doubted it. She let loose with a flurry of punches hoping to hurt it in any way. The only thing she managed to do was anger him, he let out a growl then swatted her away from him. she rolled a few feet away from him, and lay still before regaining her wits and standing up.
She grabbed her head to stop the room from spinning she got up, and dropped back down. She felt and incredible amount of pain in her side. She looked down and saw that, she had two deep cuts in her and the blood was pouring out quickly. She looked to the predator who had inflicted the wound, and saw that he was removing his mask. Once he removed it he turned to face her and pulled out the combi stick. He roared a challenge to her before charging.
Shego hit the ground with a thud and before she could get up, the hunter had lifted her up by her hair. He was still cloaked so she couldn't find him until he was right up on her. He threw her into the wall repeatedly until she didn't get back up. He knew she wasn't dead, as she still maintained a high body signature. She was tough for her species he thought. He walked over to her and picked her up once more.
He looked her in the eye, and pulled out his wristblades, preparing to take her head. His sensors noted the rise in her body temperature. Taking into account that she most likely was about to disrupt his cloaking abilities he moved to strike. But instead she let out a energy pulse. It succeeded in not only shorting out his cloaking ability it knocked him back some. She dropped onto the floor and picked herself up.
Predator did the same and eyed her. He could not understand how one mere human could give him such trouble. No matter he would dispose of her right now.
"Heh heh. What's the matter? Afraid you gonna get beat by a girl?" she mocked. She gestured for him to to come after her.
He roared then charged her.
"Shit." She said. Realizing she couldn't quickly muster the energy to move she braced herself for impact.
He crashed into her, knocking the wind out of her not once but twice as he took her through the pyramids wall. Her body landed amongst the other rubble. She lay there motionless.
"SHEGO!" Kim screamed.
She broke off contact with her opponent and ran in her direction.
"WADE! WADE! WAAAAADE!" Ron screamed into the Kimmunicator.
He suddenly appeared on screen. "yeah Ron." He said rubbing his ear.
"Is the guy in the helicopter still there?" he asked.
"Yup. Waiting on orders from Dr. Director." He said.
"Good. Tell him I said to open fire on this temple in five minutes." Betty said as her face soon appeared on Wade's monitor.
"Wait aren't you guys still in there? And where's Kim?" he asked.
"These were her orders." She said before switching off the Kimmunicator to end further discussion.
Ron,Rufus and Betty continued to run up the long staircase to freedom.
"Ugh." Was the sound Kim made as she was swatted by predator once more.
She ran up to him and then quickly jumped to his left and she was swatted again. There was nothing she could do, she just hoped Ron and Betty made it out safe. She had two opponents to deal with now. But why wasn't he attacking? Not that she wanted him to, it's just that it made no sense to her. She quickly remembered how their species are supposed to be like warriors so she supposed they had a warriors code as well.
"Shego!" Kim called out to her.
There was no reply. Kim refused to believe that she was dead. Shego was a strong woman, she wouldn't give up the ghost so easily she thought. She snapped back to reality when she received a kick from Predator. She got back up, her wound in her side worsening. She charged him and leapt into the air, to hit him with a jump kick. Predator simply just grabbed her foot, and slammed her into the ground cracking her ribs.
She let out a cry as she collided with the stone floor. The pain she was in was almost indescribable.
'So this is what child birth must feel like.' She thought.
She chuckled to herself in her thoughts and tried to get up. But Predator brought his foot down on her. And began to crush her. The other one growled at him, telling him to hurry up, so they may get on with the hunt. He removed his foot from her and picked her up.
'So this is how it ends huh? The great Kim Possible's head mounted on the wall on some alien planet.'
Predator once more ejected his wristblades. Kim closed her eyes, preparing for the final blow. Right before Predators blades could sever her head from her body, a Xenomorph crashed into him. The next thing Kim felt was her hitting the floor. She opened her eyes and found the two creatures locked in a struggle. But Predator kicked the creature off, and rose to his feet again. The serpent attacked once more and this time was accompanied by 3 more. They swarmed the hunter, in a attempt to kill him. he stabbed one with the combi stick and then immediately followed up by slamming that Xenomorph into another.
The second predator took the remaining two out with his plasma caster. Suddenly their sensors picked up multiple Xenomorphs closing in on their location. Sure enough more of them came pouring into the room. Both hunters began blasting away at them, blowing as many of them apart as they could. Unfortunately there were too many. Kim sat there horrified as the serpents began to fill the room.
She quickly regained her composure when she remembered Shego. She crawled to where the woman lay.
"Shego. Shego." She called out to her quietly.
She tried shaking her, but that did not stir her from her sleep. Kim began to fear the worst. She checked for any vital signs. She received a pulse. Shego was alive for now, but her injuries were beyond severe. She had to get her out of here. There still had to be to time. Maybe they could escape before could have this whole place crumble down on their heads. At that moment the ground began to shake. It seems that she was too late after all. The pyramid was getting bombed, the shaking and booming sound got louder. Strange the sounds were coming from the exit area in which the serpents had entered.
As for the two Predators they were surrounded. The Xenomorphs were everywhere. Behind, in front, on the sides, on the walls, and the ceiling. Hissing at them but they stopped their assault. The reason they halted had become clear, as thundering footsteps echoed, growing louder and louder. Then she appeared. With a thunderous boom she made her entrance. Smashing through the narrow entrance, roaring and making her presence and superiority known. Her huge crown on her head signified that she indeed earned her right to rule. She was truly massive. Towering over all on her hind legs. Armed with sharp claws on her two long arms and on her two shorter ones. As well as her mouth filled with razor sharp teeth, and armed with a second pair of jaws that slowly inched their way out and she let loose a growl.
Her tail poised to strike down her enemies, with lightning fast reflexes if they moved so much as an inch towards her. The only thing more dangerous than those three combined was her mind. As she was coming up with numerous ways to subject her captors with pain before she could wipe away their very existence. Kim looked on in horror, as she had stared into those cold and unforgiving eyes before. There before her, standing in the way of her only means of escape. Was the Queen Xenomorph.
Man not gonna lie, I had lots of fun writing this chapter, and the way I see it, I believe there are two more before this story is finished. Again I would greatly appreciate some ideas so I can make these last chapters something to remember. And on another note I should have chapter 11 up by Monday, if I'm lucky lol.
