No… You're not dreaming. This is actually me posting a new chapter for this story! I apologize for taking this long to get to this, but I guess you could say RL just kind of… got in the way.

As a preamble, let me say that once again I know it has been quite a while since updating this story, and this new chapter refers to things that occurred in chapter 9. It might be a good idea to review that chapter one more time before reading this one.

Next, let me thank all who read and reviewed the last chapter: Katsumara, Comet Moon, Cajunbear73, Shrike176, Thomas Linquist, screaming phoenix, Mr. Wizard, and Reader101w… As always, everyone of you guys ROCK!

Disclaimer: As I have said many times before, the characters from the Kim Possible show are not owned by my in any fashion. So all you legal folk can just leave me be.

Chapter 10

Vivian Porter, Robotics expert, sat at her workbench working on what looked like a mechanical leg. It was one of her own design, and she was trying to work out a few bugs in the system that controlled some internal servos.

"Damn…" The blond said to herself, as she touched her solder iron to a terminal that she didn't want to. "No Harm done Vivian, you can replace that resistor at a later time."

Suddenly there was a knock on the heavy metal door that led into her work area. "Go away, I'm busy." She said loudly, not looking up from her work, but again there were three loud knocks, and this time they sounded more like banging… Almost as if someone was beating on the door with a baseball bat.

"I said I'm busy!" She snapped at the door, and then went back to soldering the connection that she had messed up before.

There was silence for a few minutes, and then it started again, but this time, it sounded like a battering ram. WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!

"What the… That's gotta be Dr. Director, looking for an update to this new system I'm working on." Vivian said to herself as she set the soldering iron back into it's holder, and then spoke loudly in the general direction of the door. "Don't get your eye patch in a bunch, Dr. Director. I'm coming!"

Vivian walked across the floor stepping over long forgotten projects along the way, and when she reached out to open the heavy steel door, something slammed into it from the other side, hard. WHAMMMM! This time part of the door bulged out underneath the onslaught. Another hit. WHAMMM! And another part of the door bulged in, and this time she saw the hinges starting to buckle.

"Wh… what is trying t… to get in here?" She said with her voice shaking. Vivian backed away from the door, and a third hit slammed into the door. WHAMMM! This time all three hinges ripped from the wall, and the latch snapped, leaving the heavy steel door standing free from the doorway by about 4 inches. It stayed balanced on it's lower edge for a few seconds then slammed down onto the floor with a resounding CLANG!

Vivian was a few feet away from the door when it fell, but it wasn't the door that her eyes were now focused on. She was looking at what was in the door… or lack thereof, as the case may be.

The opening of the door was black as pitch. She could see nothing past the doorjamb, nothing at all, even though she knew what should have been beyond the opening. Curiosity ran rampant through her scientific mind.

What in the world… She thought and tentatively took a step forward. This… isn't possible. It's almost as if all light beyond this door has been… sucked away.

Vivian stepped up onto the door that lay flat in front of her, and walked right up to the black opening. She cocked her head to the side in curiosity and slowly reached a hand out to the inky blackness. With her index finger extended, Vivian slowly moved her hand forward, and her finger went beyond the edge of the blackness. She gasped when her finger completely disappeared, and quickly she withdrew her hand, checking to make sure her digit was still there, which of course it was.

"This is so very odd…" The young scientist said, and she took another small step closer.

Without warning, a metal hand and arm shot out from the inky blackness and the fingers wrapped around her neck in a grip that lifted her off of her feet. Her reaction was to start beating on the metal arm in an effort to get the hand to release. The grip only lessened enough so she could take in a raspy breath.

"What… do you… want…" She was able to croak out first, and she was able to also say, "Who… are you."

Vivian never really expected an answer, so the response she got was a surprise. A metallic synthesized voice answered, "I want… Humanity… gone. As to who I am…"

Vivian then felt herself moving backward and her eyes widened in surprise and fear as she watched the arm move out of the blackness. She saw an elbow, then a shoulder, and then an upper body appeared. Then the last thing Vivian saw and heard was the face and head that belonged to this metal monstrosity. It was none other than her own face and voice!

"Pathetic human… Resistance is… irrelevant."

Vivian woke sitting on the floor of a strange place. Her eyes darted around the room and she almost looked like a frightened animal. She brought her hands up to her face and stopped before she was able to do so, because she had the same metal hands that she had seen in her dream.

"Nooooo!" She dropped her face into the cold metal hands, and as suddenly as she had woken up, there was… nothing.

The red panel over her left eye powered on, and Oblivion shook her head to clear her thoughts and to completely wake up. She had to get the weapons she had desired mounted to her arms.

Checking her internal chronometer, Oblivion saw that it was about 0600, Monday morning. She needed to quickly get what she wanted and get out before any authorities arrived, so she immediately went to work installing the Plasma Blaster and the power cell needed to power the weapon. After that was done, she would install the .50 cal.

…x x x x…

Kim's alarm went off at 6:00. She and Ron had two classes in the morning that were an hour and a half each, one at 8:00, and another at 10:00. After this, Kim was to be at practice for the Cheer/Dance team at 12:30, and Ron was to meet with his coach at the same time. The classes were General Studies courses, but necessary evils. The first was English 105 and the second class was Political Science 150. Oh Joy.

After quickly taking a shower, Kim called Ron's room, which was on the next floor up. After about 4 rings, he finally picked up.

"mmmlllooo…"

"Wakey wakey Ronnie poo…" Kim said in a sweet voice.

"nngghh… mmmmorning Sheeego…"

"Ronald Stoppable!" Kim almost shrieked into the phone while nearly crushing the receiver in her hand.

"Ronald Stoppable?" Ron replied, still sounding a bit foggy. "Ron's not here…"

"Well Ronald Stoppable better be there, and up and ready to go in 5 minutes, or Kim Possible will not be giving her boyfriend any kissy face for a WEEK!" By now Kim was absolutely livid.

"Kim… Kim… It's OK! I've been up for 20 minutes." Ron suddenly pleaded. "I just wanted to mess with ya a little bit this morning! Please don't take that away!"

Kim stayed silent for a bit, as she realized that she had just been played like a cheap guitar. "You mean…"

"Yep." Ron said jauntily. "I'm showered, dressed, and ready for class. Want some breakfast at the Student Union?"

Kim looked at the clock and saw that it was almost 6:45. "Yeah, we got time. But you're buying for playing me like that."

"No problemo my beautilicious Senorita." Ron said in a badly exaggerated Mexican accent, making Kim smile.

…x x x x…

Breakfast for the two was uneventful, and Ron informed Kim that he had contacted his parents that morning to come and pick up Rufus at his dorm room. He had also informed his RA of this, as he didn't want to get in trouble for having a pet in his room, and his RA said he would let it go… this time. Kim took advantage of Ron buying her breakfast, and ordered one of the cafeteria's specials that consisted of 2 eggs, 2 large pancakes, 2 pieces of sausage, and 2 pieces of bacon. Kim then topped off her breakfast with a large orange juice, and an apple to go.

While eating, Ron noticed that Kim was rubbing at her right eye. "You OK Kim? Looks like your right eye is kinda red, and maybe a little bit puffy."

"Really? I thought I was just still tired from our mission last night." Ron gave his girlfriend a sideways glance. "OK, yeah… granted I didn't do much for fighting, but we did get in kinda late, if you remember."

"Yeah, yeah… I remember."

After the mission was over, Shego went off on her own, and Kim and Ron went back to the car. At least where they THOUGHT the vehicle was.

"OK… I'm pretty sure this is where we parked the car." Kim said as they approached the parking lot.

Ron started to run to the spot where they had parked the vehicle. "I know Kim! I swear we parked it right…" Wham! "Here…"

Kim smirked as her boyfriend double over holding himself with both hands. "Serves you right for swearing, Mr. Stoppable."

Kim brought her hand up to the side of her face and contacted Wade through her built-in Kimmunicator. "Wade… Looks like there's one function of this new car that's been activated. It's invisible."

"What?" Wade responded and Kim could then hear him type. "I thought… Wow, you're brothers DID get the stealth mode working. Only thing is I don't know what the deactivation code is. Let me give them a call."

This was the point that took up most of their time, as Wade was having trouble contacting Kim's two genius brothers. Apparently the two had left their communications devices at home while they went to a friend's house to play some video games and work on their friend's crashed computer. Trouble was, Kim's parents weren't exactly sure which friend it was, and Wade had to call 5 different houses to locate them. In the end, Anne and James were going to have a long talk with Jim and Tim about telling them EXACTLY where they were going from this point on. No more of just saying, 'To a friend's house'.

Wade was also able to figure out how the Stealth Mode had been activated, and who it was that activated it, even though it was done by accident.

Needless to say, both Kim and Ron were quite tired as it took an extra 2 hours to get home.

…x x x x…

It was almost 0800 when Oblivion finished installing the small power pack needed to operate the Plasma Blaster. She had just begun to install the .50 cal machine gun when she heard an alarm go off. "Intruder Alert manually activated… Intruder Alert. All Available personnel converge on Weapons Storage."

She tried to hurry up with her installation of the .50 cal, but was interrupted by a couple of Military personnel holding automatic weapons. "Freeze!" One of them said as both pointed their weapons at Oblivion. She had been caught, and she was not happy with herself.

"Drop the impact wrench, turn around towards us, and raise your hands, slowly." Oblivion didn't have her back to the two, but she was turned enough that they had not been in her line of sight, and that's how they had snuck up on her.

She did what she was told, but as she turned Oblivion scooped up a 2-inch long bolt, and held it between her forefinger and thumb. Just as she raised her hands, Oblivion flicked the bolt at one of the men, and it embedded itself into his skull. He fell without a note.

The other man in uniform immediately began firing his weapon at the woman in metal, and Oblivion quickly raised her arms to protect her face. The bullets from the automatic weapon bounced harmlessly off her metal suit, and she started to walk towards her target slowly. When she was about 5 feet from him, one of the bullets ricocheted directly back at her attacker, hitting him in the shoulder, spinning him back and to the side. He went down, and the man quickly decided to play dead, which Oblivion immediately believed as he was bleeding quite profusely from his wound.

The Blond-Headed-Cyborg-Thing then took a step towards the doors she had broken into the previous evening, and heard more voices on the other side. "Here she comes, get ready to fire!"

Instead of walking out of the storage area, Oblivion thought this was as good a time as any to try out her one, fully operational weapon, and raised her left hand and activated the Plasma Blaster. The energy blast blew a hole through the wall and into the large contingent of military personnel that was waiting for her on the other side, killing and wounding about half of the men that were waiting for her.

She then ran towards the back of the storage facility, lowered her head and put her arms out in front just before slamming into the small emergency exit door, blasting through like it was balsa wood. Oblivion wasn't sure how long the charge would last for her Plasma Blaster, and she wanted to conserve its energy, especially since she also didn't have the .50 cal operating yet.

After slamming through the emergency exit, Oblivion found herself in what looked like a parking lot for various military vehicles, which was surrounded by a chain-link fence. For a second she thought about taking a vehicle that she could fight with, such as a dune buggy looking thing that had a large caliber machine gun mounted to the top, but instead decided on a motorcycle designed for both on and off-road use. It was easy enough to start, as the bike didn't need a key. All Oblivion had to do was move a switch to 'On', and then press 'Start'. She allowed a smirk to cross her lips at the thought of so-called Military ingenuity.

Oblivion didn't have much time to revel in her small victory though, as she heard the tires of a full-sized Pickup whip around the corner of the building. Almost immediately there was machine gun fire from a mounted weapon on top of the vehicle, and the first vehicle was joined by 3 other trucks, all configured in the same manner.

Revving the 450cc motor, Oblivion popped the clutch and tore headlong through the center of the fenced in area, towards the gate. She lowered her blaster rifle and fired, taking out the chain and padlock, along with a rather nice car in the parking lot. The small sign that marked the spot for this car had the name 'General Simms' stenciled in block letters.

When Oblivion slammed through the gate and off the Military base, it was almost 10:30.

…x x x x…

Both classes went fine for Kim and Ron, but their problems didn't start until they walked from their second class to the Student Union for a quick lunch, before they had to be at their respective appointments. Just as Kim and Ron entered the Cafeteria, a voice rang out that Kim recognized, but she didn't want to deal with.

"Oh Kimberly…" It was Beyonce, the Dance/Cheer Squad's current Squad Leader. Kim stopped and motioned for Ron to go ahead and get in line at the Buffet table. "Kimberly… I looked over the first routine you wanted us to work on, and it seems so… fussy." She shook the bound syllabus that Kim had given to the team's Coach.

Now where have I heard that before? Kim thought as she turned towards the mocha skinned girl. She took a breath and said, "Oh Hi Beyonce. I guess Coach Brickmeyer showed you some of the ideas I had for the team."

"Huh… Ideas? More like… Fall Over Our Feet pieces of…"

Kim quickly cut her off. "Like I told Coach Brickmeyer, these were just some ideas of mine. It's totally up to her if she wants to use them or not."

"Well it appears that Coach Brickmeyer wants to actually start off with this… what did you call it…" Beyonce quickly leafed through the pages until she found what she was looking for. "…Dance of the Tower of Power. I'll break my ankle doing all of these twists and flips, not to mention the leap to the top of a 3 tier STANDING Pyramid???"

"I had no problem doing this myself back in Middleton High." Kim replied, and started to say more when Beyonce interrupted.

"No doubt you could do that with you're… 'Enhancements'." She accentuated the last word with air quotes.

I thought we were in College now, not High School. Kim thought to herself, and then said between clenched teeth, "That was before my accident, Beyonce. In fact, you can watch the video, which has a time and date stamp to prove it. Would you like to see?"

Beyonce raised a finger as if to say more, but then dropped her hand and left in a huff with the Syllabus that Kim had made clenched tightly in her hand.

Kim then went over to the lunch line where Ron was, and snatched her tray out of his hand, surprising him. "Amp down KP. You know she's no better than Bonnie."

"That's just it Ron. We're in college now. I thought things would be, I don't know… different." She started to put a bowl of cottage cheese and some peaches on her tray, speaking as she did so. "I thought people would act more like adults."

The rest of their lunch was uneventful, and the two were able to eat in peace. They headed out for their 12:30 meetings at about 12:15.

…x x x x…

After leaving the Military Base at a high rate of speed, it took Oblivion no more than 15 minutes to completely elude those who were chasing her. The motorcycle definitely was more agile through traffic, and the military personnel only had a chance to fire on her on two separate occasions, each time missing by only a few inches. Once she made it to the more congested part of town, Oblivion put even more distance between her and her persuers. Not only because of the traffic, but the military didn't want to take a chance on hitting innocent bystanders, and they also didn't want to cause a panic with the general public.

It was about 1200 hours when Oblivion found a place where she could finish the installation of the .50 cal, and it just so happened that it was an old abandoned Auto Parts store. She even found a few tools that were left behind by the owners when they had left the place.

It was about 1230 hours when she finally completed the installation. When she went to test the weapon by firing at an empty oil barrel, all it did was click, and nothing happened. She checked all bolts, each slide mechanism, and found that it was in good working condition, but why was it… Oblivion growled to herself when she realized what the problem was. No ammo. She had left it lying on the floor back at the Storage facility at the Military Base.

She didn't have any time to go to a gun shop or anything like that to obtain ammunition, as Oblivion wanted to find Kim Possible and destroy her. Only then could she continue with her primary mission, which was to survive at all costs. She wasn't too worried about the Military, as once she took down the Government, the Military would collapse, but Kim Possible was the one she had to get rid of once and for all.

Activating her built-in WiFi, Oblivion was able to locate a weak, yet constant signal coming from a nearby coffee shop. She quickly searched the Internet and found the College that Kim Possible was attending.

"News stations are so… predictable." Oblivion said to herself. "They will never know that they were the reason for Kim Possible's demise."

Suddenly she felt that strange sensation in the stomach area of her human half again. "Sustenance." Moving out into the back alley, Oblivion employed something she hadn't used at all yet, her nose. She picked up the scent of what seemed to be cooking meat, and followed it to the back of a fast-food restaurant that was only half a block away.

Hiding behind a large garbage receptacle, Oblivion witnessed an employee of the establishment bring out a large bag of something and throw it into another trash container. After this individual went back inside, Oblivion opened the lid of the bin, found the bag, and tore it open. In there she found small cardboard boxes, and each of them had what appeared to be small hamburgers, and they were still warm.

Now why would humans throw out perfectly good food? She thought and took about 5 of the small hamburgers. She then wolfed them down in a matter of minutes.

After taking care of her hunger, it only took Oblivion 15 more minutes to ride her motorcycle to the college campus. Not many students were walking around at this time, but those that were, looked at the strange metallic woman funny for a few seconds, then went on with their lives, not thinking much more about the strange looking woman in a metal suit. For all they knew, this strange looking person had something to do with a hazing in one of the Fraternities or Sororities.

Now all Oblivion had to do was find which building that Kim Possible was… Then her ears heard a distinctive sound that brought a memory to her. ""Go, War Dogs, Go, Go War Dogs! Go, War Dogs… Go, Go War Dogs!"

Then she heard the voice of the one she was searching for. "OK ladies, that was almost perfect!" It was Kim Possible, and she was only about 100 feet from her current position.

…x x x x…

Kim clapped her hands together as the squad went back to their original positions. "See Beyonce, I knew you could do it!" She said excitedly.

The girl that was worried about not getting the routine down was sweating profusely and breathing hard, but she had a smile on her face. Wow… Maybe this is… possible! Beyonce thought to herself, and then cringed a bit at her choice of words.

Standing at the ready to start another run at the routine, Beyonce was looking right at the entrance to the gym when one of the 8 swinging doors flew off of it's hinges and sailed right towards her. She ducked just in time to avoid the flying projectile, and in walked the strangest looking person she had ever seen. "What the Hell…" She said aloud, and the next thing Beyonce heard was Kim yelling at her.

"Get down!" Kim yelled just as the Plasma Blaster on Oblivion's arm shot off another blast directly at Beyonce. Suddenly her vision was blocked by Kim's red hair, and Beyonce saw a bright flash in front of Kim, who had blocked the energy blast.

Whipping around Kim looked at the frightened Beyonce. "Are you alright?" All she could do was look at Kim's forearms as the charred skin reformed and covered the metal, wires, and small motors that made up her arms.

"What… are you?" The squad leader said with wide eyes, and was caught by surprise one more time when Kim grabbed her, threw her over her shoulder, and ran into the bathrooms which were on the other end of the gym. The speed in which she was carried almost made Beyonce throw up.

"Stay here, and don't leave until I say so." Kim said, and all the Squad Leader could do was nod her head numbly.

When Kim looked out of the bathroom doors, she saw that the rest of the squad was able to get out of the gym through one of the emergency exits. The only reason they were able to make it out unhurt, was because Oblivion was distracted by Kim carrying Beyonce across the gym floor.

Staying just inside the bathroom door, Kim yelled out to Oblivion. "What do you want!"

The answer to her query came in that same dual sounding voice that was a combination of Vivian's voice and a robotic voice synthesizer. "I want you to cease to exist, Kim Possible."

"Damn." Kim said, swearing under her breath. "Where's Ron when I need him…"

The timing couldn't have been better when Kim suddenly heard her boyfriend's voice yell out. "Kim! Wade contacted me and said that you were in trouble…" But Ron's voice was out in the gym, not beside her.

…x x x x…

It wasn't long after Ron had started his meeting with Coach Perneckie that the miniature Kimmunicator in his pocket chimed. He looked at his coach with an apologetic grin and pulled out the communications device.

"What's up…" Was all Ron was able to get out when Wades panicked voice cut him off.

"Ron! Oblivion's back and she's attacking the cheer quad over at the gym! She's gotta be trying to get at Kim! There's no other reason for her to be there!" Wade's eyes were wide with both excitement and fear. He knew how bad Kim had gotten beat up before, and he was worried about her.

"I'll be there in five." Ron responded and then looked up at his coach. "Coach Perneckie… I'm really sorry, but I need to go help Kim out. Can we…?"

The coach gave an almost sour look at Ron and then huffed out. "It sounds like an emergency, so I'll let you go… This time. I'll re-schedule our meeting, but just don't make a habit of it Stoppable." The blond boy quickly nodded in agreement and left his coaches office as fast as his feet could carry him.

After running about half way across campus in 5 minutes, Ron made it to the gym and saw the cheer squad running out of a side emergency exit. He then saw that one of the main doors at the front of the gym was completely missing, and he opted to go through another door about 3 down from the one blasted through.

After slamming open the door, Ron slid across the floor of the gym while yelling out, "Kim! Wade contacted me and said that you were in trouble…" He then saw Oblivion standing in the center of the gym, and she turned back towards Ron just after he made his entrance.

He then saw Oblivion raise her arm, and Ron saw something that he hadn't seen before, which was a large blaster-type weapon mounted to her forearm… and it was pointed directly at him. Ron then heard the whine of a charge building up in the weapon as it was getting ready to fire, and he had nowhere to hide. "Oh snap…"

To be continued…
