Chapter 11
Kim and Shego were closing in on their target. Kim gripped the wheel so tight her knuckles turned white under battlesuit's gloves causing her to briefly let go of the wheel to crack her fingers. Suddenly her radio crackled to life as if possessed and started playing 'If today was your last day' (Nickleback), as if it was a sign. She tried turning the station but nothing happened, and then tried shutting the radio off but as before nothing happened.
The song continued Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pict…
Kim tuned it out and entered her own thoughts but the song perverted them, as she imagined never getting to hold Ron again, their future gone, Ron being unsave able… NO! "I will save him!" she blurted out loud causing Shego to jump n her seat.
"Gimme a heart attack next time Princess Jeez!" Shego barely finished her statement before another song invaded their airwaves.
Did you get the postcards I sent to you? Did it go through? (Greenday- Last night on Earth)
"I assume he means the 'notes' he left Princess?" Shego jests.
"Not funny!" Kim says offended by her brash comment.
I've got the world on a string! (Frank Sinatra-Ive got the world on a string)
"I think he is trying to tell us his plans… or psyche us out… whichever…" Shego shrugs as gets ready for their approach.
The Purple car starts its rapid descent towards the shoreline of the tiny island and sees the destroyed remains of several GJ hover jets. They each push the thoughts of what happened to the back of their mind as they touchdown and drive right up to the already open blast door. Both exit the vehicle without a word and walk into the waiting elevator stepping light as possible and with great care. They reach the center of the pad and immediately the blast doors slam shut leaving the room in complete darkness then a few small red lights trigger flooding the eerie chamber with creepy shadows. The women jump back to back waiting for a fight when they hear a creaky-grindy noise and the platform starts descending making them lose their footing slightly. They descend for what feels like minutes because of the low light conditions and finally reach the bottom screeching to a halt. A door opposite from the side they entered opens revealing a long narrow hallway that forks at the end.
"Well looks like they want to split us up should we listen?" Shego mentions with her usual sarcastic voice and looks to Kim.
"I don't think so lets stick together for now and head to left." Kim points to the left hallway as they start walking. Both are looking around at the various paneling and know something major is going to happen based on the sheer number of large tubes trailing up and down the walls. Each tube had various symbols every so many feet with hazard symbols warning of heat, flammability, radioactivity and the like.
"What do you suppose they are for Kimmie?"
"I'm not sure but lets hope we find out before they are used…" Kim is cut off as an orange energy barrier beams appears before them stretching from one end of the hall down to the other forcing them to split up. Shego lights her plasma, which is weak still from her injury and tries touching the translucent wall and jumps back in pain as it shocks her.
"What's that sound?" Kim asks as the women turn around and see a fast approaching energy barrier moving up the hall forcing them to the fork.
"Run Shego!" both dart down the hall as fast as their legs will carry them and barely make it to their respective forks before they are caught in the unknown energy source. As each crosses their threshold another blast door closes behind them and then an additional barrier creates itself to prevent them damaging the doors.
"Shego can you hear me?" Kim screams as loud as she can.
"Princess just barely lets move on no point in waiting around!" Shego responds.
I don't like this… what is Ron trying to accomplish by separating us? Kim thinks as she jogs strolls down the hallway looking for any additional traps. She walks for a minute or two before she hits a dead end causing her to turn around and make sure it isn't a trap. On her right is a sign and door for the cafeteria while on the right is a door styling a red cross with clinic above it. She ponders for a minute before she hears a sudden hiss sound behind her causing her to pivot and see the dead end now retracting into the floor revealing a small elevator.
"This isn't sketchy at all," she says to no one before proceeding inside. A glass tube encases her and immediately shoots up with no windows or openings it looks as if she is just moving through a steel tube which makes her wonder where it lets out.

"Shego you just couldn't stay dead could you? I had to adjust my strategy and expend more energy than I would have liked with those walls." Ron says as he walks through the doorway that just opened in front of her. He was glowing yellow with white colored energy arcing off his body causing the green tined woman to lose some of her nerve.
"Kimberly Anne was supposed to be alone but nevertheless you are just a slight delay in my plan… this time I will finish what I started…" Ron says before Shego interrupts him.
"Why are you doing this to her? Aren't you supposed to love her and do anything for her? She has sacrificed everything for your ungrateful ass and all you do in return is rip her heart out and grind it with your heel! And lets not forget what you did to Dr. D you… you SICK BASTARD!" Shego is seething with hatred for the man in front of her and ignites her hands that appear with the normal vigor fueled by all of that hatred.
"You think I wanted this? HAHAHAHA You are just as dumb as the rest… I am merely a puppet for the Yono… I was willing to sacrifice my life for her and I thought I did at that campsite… I was fully expecting to die when I threw her out of the blast zone I made peace with knowing that my death meant her survival…" he pauses and looks to his right and up into what appears to be a lens.
"What are you doing FREAK!" Shego taunts.
"Oh nothing that matters to you… my very existence has one singular purpose and nothing can be done to stop that now… " he clicks a button on his wrist, "I can no longer even express my love for her as I have no control of my body and if I do the Yono will take complete control. However Ruber Mortem will take care of all problems but fortunate for you… you wont be around to see it."
Ron's hand glows as a blood red katana appears in his hand with a onyx black hilt that looks like something straight from a hellscape. Shego ignites her hands knowing this encounter will be her last This is for you Princess make this count.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Shego charges with a battle cry.
The two enhanced beings battle with ferocity that rivals that of Greek heroes leaking scorch marks and gouges in the walls of the hallway. Shego starts throwing plasma alternating hands and ramping up her speed causing Ron to be engulfed in green flames and smoke. She pauses after an intense 30 second barrage to catch her breathe and let the smoke clear to see what damage she did. It doesn't take long before her mouth drops as he steps forward with both arms outstretched, as if to say is that all, and radiating yellow light without a single scratch. The aura dissipates and he raises his arm to strike as his victim backs away only to be sliced in half in her midriff.
Shego coughs as blood intrudes her mouth and starts pouring out as she stand there holding where she was just slashed. She turns her head as her stomach slides in two and both sections of her body fall to the floor.
"Well this is familiar isn't it Shego… to bad there isn't a beam though to hold you apart." Ron approaches the bisected woman who is trying to pull herself together for a last ditch effort.
"Don't bother I'll make this quick for you…" He trails off as the katana in his hand slowly grows several feet and now has a 3 foot long single blade jagged executioners axe attached. "Goodbye for the last time Shego… Oh and say Hi to Drakken for me!" Shego looks at the ceiling and closes her eyes Goodbye Princess I did my best she hears a whoosh PHKKKKKKKT!
Ron dematerializes the lotus blade while turning and heading back from where he originated clicking a several buttons on his wrist.

Kim exits the now stopped elevator tube into what appears to be an office. She sees various consoles, a desk with a command module, various boards filled with diagrams and writing. This must be Ron's she contemplates as se walks towards a monitor that has security feeds across it. In one corner there is a lab full of dead people wearing lab clothes in a pile, another shows the barracks full of people grasping their throats from either asphyxiation or poisonous gas. She turns away for a minute as she sees Betty and Du on a monitor both dead in a large circle and another showing a room full of the missing agents.
"That explains why we haven't seen anyone here yet," she spurs.
One screen catches her attention though as it contains living beings.
{"Shego you just couldn't stay dead could you? I had to adjust my strategy and expend more energy than I would have liked with those walls…Kimberly Anne was supposed to be alone but nevertheless you are just a slight delay in my plan… this time I will finish what I started…" Ron says before Shego interrupts him.
"Why are you doing this to her? Aren't you supposed to love her and do anything for her? She has sacrificed everything for your ungrateful ass and all you do in return is rip her heart out and grind it with your heel! And lets not forget what you did to Dr. D you… you SICK BASTARD!" Shego's hands light up on the screen.
"You think I wanted this? HAHAHAHA You are just as dumb as the rest… I am merely a puppet for the Yono… I was willing to sacrifice my life for her and I thought I did at that campsite… I was fully expecting to die when I threw her out of the blast zone I made peace with knowing that my death meant her survival…" he pauses and looks to his right and up into what appears to be a lens.}
Just as Ron looks up into the camera as if looking to Kim the feed is cut.
"OH NO!" Kim screams and immediately begins running around looking for anything of use in her situation. I cant believe he thought he was going to die… why would he die for me? I don't understand! Kim's thoughts are tearing at her very soul as she tries to take in what she just heard. She doesn't know if she should hate him for what he has become or love him because it was because of her this all happened. "Why couldn't I have died there and prevented all of… This!" Kim turns and slams her fists on the console with the security footage, and as soon as she does the feed from the missing square returns revealing a woman cut in half at the waist and also decapitated. "NOOOOOO!"
She whips around as she hears a door open and is greeted by a smirking blond with his arms behind his back.
"Do you expect me to give up Ronald? Do you expect me to forget everything we have gone through? To forget my Love for YOU?! What do want from me?" Kim breaks into tears as her heart pours out trying to reach him.
"No… No Kimberly Anne Possible…" Ron starts.
"Kimberly Anne Stoppable you mean!" She yells back trying to break through.
He pauses for a second as if locked in an internal struggle, "Not yet Babe… But No KP I expect you… To DIE! The whole world," he turns side-to-side arms raised and looks each direction, "To DIE!"
She stares at him lost in hopelessness as he starts towards her. "My Ron could never do that… YOU could never do that… this evil isn't you so come back to me Baby come back and lets leave this place forev…*gurgle*" Kim is cut off as Ron clutches her throat and squeezes. Her vision starts to blur and pulsate as her oxygen is used up and right before she passes out she falls to her knees and sees Ron standing there gripping the arm that had been holding her.
She somersaults away from him to get some distance as he turns to face her. She jumps up "Wait Ron I have something to show you!"
His curiosity piqued he stops short of reaching her and waits for what she has to show him. She then reaches up to her now bruising neck and seizes the zipper to the battlesuit. She then unzips the protective armor she wore and drops it off revealing her wedding gown beneath its protection. Her dress was a single strap the contored the curves of her body accentuating her figure flowing down to an asymmetrical point on the opposite leg. She then holds up her ring to her face and looks directly into Ron's eyes "Please remember my love Ron… I don't know what I would do without you… Please… Please return to me…" she finishes with tears rolling down her cheeks as her eyes start to turn red. Ron just stares at her locked again in conflict before uttering "K…Kim…" he materializes the lotus blade flips it around and plunges it straight into his heart.
