In Upperton a crime scene was taped off as police checked in interior of a jewelry store. The door was broken in, the handle and lock looking like it was smashed through showing how they entered. A black car showed up to the scene and two women walked out. One is Dr. Director, head of the Global Justice organization while the second was a tall paler older woman. She wore dark shaded glasses and kept her dark slightly graying hair into a bun. they entered the store where several agents inspected the lock. "Seems similar to the other robberies," Dr. Director stated glancing at the lock. "You sure you have a lead Contessa?"
The woman nodded and waved an arm around the room which was roughly untouched, "I do. These thieves broke through the front door with a hard force that broke through the locks with ease. Like the other stores they headed to the safe where they somehow incapacitated the guard with a form of mind control and then broke into the safe with the uncut diamond."
They entered the back and they found two security guards with a dazed look in their eyes. The safe was open, but it was not unlocked but cut into. Dr. Director and Contessa examined the cut on the safe, "No sigh this was done with a heated tool or any kind of chemical acid. I can't determine what kind of tool they used."
Contessa however reached down and picked something up that Dr. Director didn't notice beforehand. Contessa stood up and examine the new evidence she found. "What is that?" Dr. Director asked.
"A broken piece of a crystal," Contessa explained, "Our thief is a meta. One I believe I know the identity of."
(Scene change)
In Middleton high school the cheer squad were gathering around in the gym. They were supposed to be practicing but right now they were around one of their friend as she sat on the bleachers holding her arm. She wasn't hurt or injured but had another reason for holding her arm. "Why is this happening?" Crystal whispered aloud.
"It's okay Crystal," Hope said with a hand on her shoulder, "there's nothing to be afraid of."
Crystal said noting as she focused on her arm. On her smooth skin there were several bumps at first glance but these were not a normal or medical condition. On her arm were many tiny crystals that resemble light green diamonds. They grew slowly till they were several inches in length before they dropped off her arm and onto the floor. Crystal noticed this was happening for the past two days and she was scared of what was going on. She didn't tell anyone, not even her own parents and manage to cover up with long sleeves claiming it was for fashion. It was only today did it seem the to grow even rapid and started to fall off are a faster pace. The others noticed and manage to keep her calm. It was mostly Kim, Hope and Marcella since they also had powers so they were able to let her know they wouldn't do anything or react badly.
"If anything I think you might have gotten easy," Marcella added before she noticed the glares from some of the girls and Crystals flinching. She held her hands up "hey when Hope and I started to show powers, I was setting stuff on fire and Hope was all but coping that new movie Frozen. I say having small diamonds growing from your skin easier to deal with."
Hope rolled her eyes, "Marcella you're not helping."
"Still I'll have Wade check these crystals out," Kim said picking one up. "Maybe he can find anything about them."
"And maybe a way to stop this," Crystal said as more crystals fell off but new ones grew just as fast.
Terra-Nova however found this amusing, 'And another friend with meta-human abilities. One which I am sure did not appear in our time line and future. See what happens when you change your future. You change everything in ways you could not predict.'
'No one asked you,' Kim replied back with a silent huff, 'Besides how do you know I'm the reason they are starting to be getting powers?'
'Can you give me another reason?' Terra-Nova asked 'They never had any powers so unless this was an act of god this can only be you're doing.'
Kim figured that it might just be something else. There wasn't any reason to say that she didn't develop powers and it was just overlooked.
"You know, it's kind of cool you can grow crystals. I mean, I just glow and get a small boost in power thanks to the MMP." Ron commented as he was training his own thing. Sometimes he'd get a flash of a guy in a falcon or hawk-themed suit, but it was too close to Batman for a potential design.
"Yeah, that's not helping either." Crystal commented, but she knew that Ron was trying to be helpful. Bonnie also noticed and with Tara in tow, decided to try and comfort her.
"It's nothing to be worried about, you're just going to have something extra that's all. It just means that you have to work on controlling it." Bonnie said, but it still wasn't quite helping. Crystal really was glad that she had people that cared for her, but really wanted to be back to normal.
But soon enough, sirens were heard and then Global Justice came in and had their weapons held out ready to fire.
"Hands in the air!" The girls and Ron panicked because they had no idea what on God's green earth was going on. The girls were screaming as they were advancing closer to Crystal and Kim.
"What is going on!?" Kim demanded as she was suddenly thrown in cuffs along with Crystal, and both were paranoid.
"Justice, Miss Possible," Came the voice of a woman, "You may call me the Contessa, and you, as well as your accomplice, are under arrest."
This completely stunned the group, Ron, Bonnie and a few others gapped at Contessa while Tara Hope Marcella gasped. Liz and Jessica looked from Contessa to Kim who stood there stunned. Crystal had tears in her eyes, 'This can't be happening.'
Kim stood there at the claim before she glared at her, "You must be joking. Why am I being arrested? And why is Crystal being arrested as well?"
"As I stated you are under arrest." Contessa stated not effected by the glare. "A series of robberies were made and they were all plan and ran by you."
Kim blinked at the claim. Even Terra-Nova wasn't sure what to make of the woman, 'Is this lady high or something? I know for a fact you haven't even tried to go on the right path yet so I know she's bluffing.'
"What evidence do you have?" Kim asked "You can't arrest use without proof that we even did a crime."
"Yeah KP would never do anything like that," Ron added trying to show the woman reason.
Bonnie crossed her arms "Yeah Possible is way too much a goodie-goodie to do anything bad."
Kim heard Terra-Nova growl, 'She needs to be shown how bad we truly are. Both of them do.'
Kim locked her determined gaze with the Contessa's. the woman pulled out a small evidence bag showing them what was inside it "The doors and safe were destroyed with a gem like material as hard as diamond if not harder. This piece was found at the scene, the same that your friend is able to form from her own body."
Crystal stared in horror, "But I never-I only got my powers recently. I can't even make them stop growing."
Contessa ignored her plea, "Add the fact all the guards at the locations of the robberies were all in a daze as if controlled. This was your part of the job as well as being the one in control of everything."
Kim glared, "I can't control anyone, I don't have the power to do that."
'Well you do but you never learned how yet,' Terra-Nova reminded her. 'Not that you are eager to learn for some reason.'
Contessa however seem to smirk and leaned forward slightly with her gaze in Kim's face, "Now don't insult my intelligents. I already know of your abilities you have been trying to hide. I know you have been working on different plant life as tools or weapons. Such a feat is easy for you; daughter of Poison Ivy."
Kim took a step back, her face frozen and also horrified at not only someone knowing her biggest (second biggest if you count Terra-Nova) but also revealed it aloud for everyone to hear. Kim looked at the girls and they were staring wide eye at her. Jessica was stunned and looking at Kim not with an expression Kim was not sure off. Bonnie looked bewildered and stared at Kim, clearing not expecting this. None of them seem to have expected this as Kim took another step back as if afraid of them. Inside her head Terra-Nova growled again but this time it was a darker tone to it, 'Okay…that woman has to die now.'
Kim stood there with her arms limp with the cuffs in front of her. Contessa saw enough and ordered her men to take her away. Crystal was crying scared out of her mind while Kim looked at them as she was walked out, her gaze staying on Ron's horrified face as she was led away. Try as she might though she could not get the face of the girls' reaction out of her head.
(scene change)
"Can't you do anything Wade?" Ron asked his kimmuincator as he sat on his bed. Soon after Kim was taken away Ron ran home to try and find a way of helping Kim. Kim's parents were both shocked at the fact their daughter was not only arrested but terrible angry as well as their own actions of even talking to her have been blocked. Ron hoped Wade could give him something.
"Nothing," Wade said with a groan, "All of the files on the case is locked up tight by a branch of Global Justice and any attempts at hacking through is detected and I can just avoid them trying to counter attack me."
Ron groaned as Rufus let out a moan as he slumped on the bed next to Ron. "Can you tell me anything Wade?"
Wade typed and a file came up, "All I can find is a bit on the woman. She is known as Contessa. She is a Warden at a Correctional Facility that house a wide arrange of criminals, meta human or not. Contessa also works in Hypno-therapy as a way to keep criminals under control but also make them model citizens. Her work in GJ is mostly finding criminals and her work in her prison. I fear the worst for Kim."
"What can we do?" Ron asked, "Can't anyone help us? Dr. Director? Batman?"
"I-I don't know," Wade replied.
"Then I guess we will have to be doing this ourselves."
Ron turned at the sudden voice behind him. He was stunned to see Catgirl sitting on his open windowsill. The teen pulled her hood down and Ron blinked seeing who it was. "Bonnie? You're Catgirl?"
His reply was first a deadpan look, "Seriously you haven't figured that out? Even after you and Batman rescued me and my aunt from what crazy cat scientist?"
Ron looked sheepish at the fact he never really put the pieces together. "I guess that's why people wear the hood. I mean you look good, but-"
"Save it. Where's this correctional facility? We're breaking Kim and Crystal out." Bonnie said as Wade did some typing.
"I'm sending the location on Ron's Kimmunicator, but I don't think you want to go there." Wade commented as he sent the coordinates to them.
"Whatever, we can take care of ourselves. Now, to get there." Ron gulped a bit at Bonnie's statement, as he knew whatever was going to happen wasn't going to be easy.
(Scene Break)
Ron and Bonnie were now running along the rooftops of the city that they were in. The correctional facility looked a little like Alcatraz; it was big with high walls and the town was completely creepy. The kind of creepy that gives you a horror feel.
"This makes me feel like we just stepped into Latveria from Marvel." Ron said as he and Bonnie stopped on one of the rooftops, after establishing a 'safe house' of sorts.
"Let's not get into comics at the moment. If we're going to break Crystal and Kim out, then the first step is to scout around and get intel. Pictures, plans, and all that stuff." Bonnie said as she had her hood up, but she rolled her eyes while smiling when Ron decided to basically cosplay as Sly Cooper.
"Yeah, that sounds good, but why do you wanna help KP? I mean, you two do fight like dogs and cats, no pun intended." Ron asked as he made sure to have a utility belt with various gadgets, some of his own making and some were made with a little help from his friend Felix.
"Don't read this the wrong way. If Kim gets into trouble, that's okay with me, but Crystal is in there without a trial. I'm getting Crystal out, but I suppose having poison princess owe me by breaking her out is just an extra perk."
Ron wasn't sure what to think about that, though he would not argue seeing as he would need all the help he can get. He knew Kim might not agree with Bonnie and will no doubt hate the nickname. The pair kept an eye out for guards and their movements while taking pictures for Wade to use later since he had little data to actually work with, much to his displeasure. After a moment of them not saying anything Bonnie asked, "So how exactly is Kim Poison Ivy's daughter?"
"Huh?" Ron asked confused by the question.
Bonnie sighed, "How is Kim Poison Ivy's daughter? I mean from what my aunt told me from her small interaction with Ivy the woman can't have kids. If it wasn't for Kim's reaction I would call bullshit on the woman. So what's the story? Kim grown in a lab or a pod or something?"
Ron wasn't sure how to answer since it was personal to Kim, "Well…KP must never find out I told you this, even if I don't understand the details myself."
Bonnie rolled her eyes, "Sure, sure, whatever."
Ron gave her a deadpan look which made her grin cheekily at him. Ron sighed, "Kim was born like a normal baby. Turns out Mrs. Dr. P knew Ivy before she became, well Poison Ivy and they found out Ivy couldn't have kids. They did something I don't understand and Mrs. Dr. P carried Kim like normal but also had Ivy's DNA too. It was only a short amount of time ago did Kim start to show she had powers and Ivy's immunity."
Bonnie thought this information over and found it strange. She wasn't sure if she could believe it or not but then again Kim shows her powers to the girls after Hope's and Marcella's powers appeared so it might explain where they came from. They landed across a roof from a large gothic theme house that stood at the end of the street alone. Bonnie blinked when she saw that Contessa stepped out of the house and into the night air. Bonnie grinned when her cat eyes noticed she held a recorder of some sort and was speaking into it. "It seems out warden has a nightly habit."
Ron blinked before he also saw Contessa. "What's she doing?"
"Looks like she talking or recording herself," Bonnie whispered as Contessa walked below them, "Maybe we can get out intel from the horse's mouth herself."
Ron figured out Bonnie's plan and listened like picking up the Kimmunicator to record what they heard.
"It seems that I underestimated miss Possible's will," Contessa stated to her recorder "she has adjusted to her imprisonment better than I had anticipated. Already anyone who tried to push her around or place her among the ranks the prisoners seem to make among themselves have been incapacitated. No serious injuries but the girl is not showing signs of backing down. I have already ordered the guards that any more events like that she is to be placed in solitary confinement."
Contessa walked off ahead as Ron and Bonnie looked at each other. "looks like KP is holding out."
"But what about Crystal?" Bonnie asked.
"KP would not let anything happen to her," Ron assured her.
They two jumped off and listened in to Contessa again.
"The other girl, Crystal is breaking as I thought she would. I made sure to keep her away from miss Possible. Of course I also insured that she was placed at the lower security wing. I can't have the rowdier or darker prisoners do anything to the girl. I need a puppet for my plans not a useless broken doll. So far everything with her is going as plan."
Bonnie gritted her teeth but was thankful nothing has happened to Crystal yet but she knew she had to get her friend out soon.
Contessa chuckled to herself, "Those idiots at Global Justice, they keep working with me perfecting and sending me these criminals. What a perfect way to make money. Hypnotize criminals into revealing where all their stolen goods, tools and other valuables are and I get to take it for myself. And the meta humans? They make perfect henchmen that listen to me in case anyone wises up to my operation. And these two fell right into my lap. It was luck I found Crystal and her abilities when spying on my lead for Miss Possible. She however is the true prize. To think someone like her is the daughter of one of the world's most infamous eco-terrorist. If her powers can be as strong if not stronger than Poison Ivy's own, then she will be a most invaluable tool. Now I just have to break her."
"That crook," Bonnie hissed.
"Bonnie," Ron said but was stopped by a glare. "We can use this to get them out. She admitted she is using criminals and such."
"She has connection to GJ," Bonnie countered. "She is using them to stop their families from reaching out to them. Plus, they are here without a trial. No, we need to get them out and soon."
They followed Contessa again hoping she will at least let them know more. Contessa sighed, "Possible's will is going to take time to break. The girl is too stubborn. I will have to work harder before someone gets too nosy. The other girls however will be the first to break. A few days in the Hole will break her will. Hell the girl might not even last a full day. She's in there now and we shall see how much she is willing to work with me. Damn that Possible for being so strong will. I'm not even sure if a month in the Hole will break her. If it wasn't for the fact the Hole is out in the courtyard I would already have her there now. But I can't risk having her too close to growing plant life." Contessa sighed, "pull yourself together Contessa, once Possible slips up again and in solitary confinement then you will add more pressure and then you will have her."
Ron and Bonnie had enough and waited for Contessa to walked further away from them. "So we now know where Crystal is" Ron said.
"But how to get her out?" was what Bonnie questioned with a frown.
Ron looked around and wondered how to get the girl out. There's a lot to worry about and many different factors. The first is that they had no explosives, and they would've needed military grade explosives to get through that wall. Digging was a no go, since they would be caught long before they even had a chance of getting close to Crystal or Kim.
"Ron? What would Kim do?" Bonnie asked, and that was something Ron didn't think he'd hear from the girl.
"I don't think we can get any of Kim's rides to help us paraglide into The Hole, and even if we did, then we'd be trapped inside as well." He read the sound of an electric train, as it had been passing by them from time to time and disrupting his thoughts, "And that train doesn't hel...I think I have an idea."
Bonnie was confused as Ron leapt across the rooftops with all the ninja training from The Master and Yamanouchi with Bonnie following with no problem. Her cat-like agility and flexibility let her be light and balanced enough to run along some of thin cables and land in an almost ninja-like manner on small spaces. Bonnie had to ask, "Mind filling me in on the plan?"
"It's definitely not something that Kim would approve of," Bonnie grinned as she was already liking the plan because it wasn't Kim approved and let Ron continue, "but it's not stealthy. Wade hacks into the computer that controls that train that's been speeding by us, and then he speeds it up. If everything goes according to plan, and I hope it does, then it should catapult off the rails, hit the wall in the courtyard, and give us a shot of getting Crystal out of the hole. Then we rescue Kim."
Bonnie blinked at the plan seeing it as crazy but then again she didn't have any better ideas. "Can he actually do that?"
Ron was already calling Wade when Bonnie ask so he heard this question. "oh you doubter. I should be able to do that."
"I'm sensing a 'but'," Bonnie added.
Wade looked embarrassed, "I haven't gotten a full lay out of the island yet or the prison. I am still trying to locate Kim and Crystal."
Bonnie groaned loudly, "I hate computers. Why must they make everything so complicated?"
Ron looked at Wade, "Anyway we can help you out?"
Wade typed away before he thought it over "If you can hard link the Kimmunicator into one of the main security servers I should be able to get all the information I need on finding where Kim and Crystal are. With that I will also be able to get control of the train car."
"Alright where do we plug you in?" Bonnie asked.
"There's two different consoles I can be plug in," Wade informed them. "one is in the main security room and the other is a second personal computer inside the Contessa's house."
"Well the first will no doubt have a lot of guards," Ron said aloud as Bonnie stretched knowing what she will have to do. "I guess we will have to go for the second one."
"Right, give it here." Bonnie ordered holding her hand out.
Ron blinked looking at her. "Do you think you can sneak in there without being noticed?"
Bonnie raised a brow making Ron gain a sheepish look, "Right forget, Catgirl."
"You're lucky you're cute." Bonnie muttered as she took the kimmuincator from him. "Just keep an eye out in case Contessa decided to return home. If you have to make a distraction."
"Got it," Ron said with a grin, "A distraction is easy for me."
Bonnie smirked before she walked in front of him with an extra sway of her hips, knowing she had Ron's eyes on her before she jumped off the roof to make her move. Ron stood there dazed slightly before Rufus noticed this and climbed to his friend's shoulders before he slapped the boy's face to snap him out of it. Ron shook his head, "Sorry buddy."
Rufus rolled his eyes knowing this would not be the last time he would be distracted by Bonnie.
Up ahead Bonnie made quick work getting to the house she saw Contessa leave from. She didn't bother with the door but one of the windows on the upper floors. She found one that was easy to open and stepped inside. Her cat eyes and senses allowed her to move in the dark but also let her know if there were other security measures. It seemed Contessa was confident that no one would break in as she found nothing so far. After checking a few rooms Bonnie found the one with a large computer in it. Bonnie smirked as she pulled the Kimmunicator out pulled a cord from it and plugged it into the computer itself. "Okay you're in nerd."
Wade rolled his eyes as he typed away. After a few minutes with Wade working and Bonnie checking the window before Wade said, "Okay I found Crystal."
"Great now to spring her out," Bonnie said on edge.
"Not yet, I need to find Kim as well as get some more data to figure out a way to get her out too."
Bonnie groaned, before she saw Contessa walking down the street no doubt heading back home. "Well you are now on a time limit here unless Ron can distract her."
"He will," Wade said fully confident in his friend. "Okay I found Kim."
"Hurry up," Bonnie muttered as she saw Contessa pause before glancing down a side street and stepped that way but otherwise didn't move. "Ron's buying time but we don't have much left."
Wade rolled his eyes but worked faster, "Can you crack and go through seventeen lines of coded encryption algorithm as well as bypassing fire walls and security features to prevent Contessa or anyone else that we were even here?"
"I didn't understand half of the crap you just said" Bonnie deadpan even if Wade could not see her.
"That's what I thought," Wade added with a small smirk before he said, "Okay I got what I need, give me a two minutes to download and finish up."
"You got less than that," Bonnie informed him as Contessa finally returned to her home, "Time to go."
Contessa walked up her stairs slightly on edge. She still found it strange of the noise she heard while returning home. The sound of some cats running and a squeak of rats or mice made sense but she had a feeling it wasn't that. She entered her computer room to check and made sure the security was up. She noticed her monitor was on with something up on her screen. She narrowed her eyes before she checked the file. The loud words of "you got mail!" hit her speaker causing her to jump. Contessa huffed and closed it, "I swear if that is my brother sending more spam to my email I will kill him."
Outside Bonnie was hopping the roof tops to meet up with Ron. "That was close. Not even those past heists were this close." Bonnie said, happy to have everything in their possession to figure out how to get Crystal out, and Kim.
"Yeah, it's hard making cat noises." Ron commented as Rufus made a squeak-squeak noise after that, and there was a small silent laugh shared between them.
"Well, if this is anything like plant princess has to deal with, then I could join up no problem. Now, the next step is hijacking that train and launching it to Crystal's wall." Bonnie was ready to get her friend out. She would get Kim out as well, but that was still to her more a favor for Ron then Kim. Plus, it was fun to push her on edge from time to time.
"Right. We also have to make sure that no one gets hurt, and that means getting the train evacuated and lined up for the shot." Wade said as he was looking over the files as best he could. Apparently the Contessa's personal computer had a lot of incriminating evidence, proof of her over-reliance on technology and the belief she was untouchable.
"Right, and that means getting anyone on the train out, and then getting blasted. This might actually be a bit fun." Ron was wondering if Bonnie was serious or sarcastic with that comment.
Ron and Bonnie moved across the rooftops to a small station where the train stops every now and again. Wade's timing was right as the train was there waiting for them. they checked it and only had a few guard unload the train's end leaving the conductor up front. With his back to them he had no idea of the danger till Ron grabbed him from behind, pulling the man while covering the mouth to keep him from making any noise. Keeping pressure to the neck made the conductor pass out where Ron pulled the man off the train. Bonnie meanwhile was between the two cars near the front and unhooked them. with that done she walked up to Ron as he plugged the Kimmunicator into the controls. "Time to go Wade."
"All aboard," Wade said jokingly as the train started to pull out of the station. After they were out and slowly moving along the tracks Wade switch the tracks so they would loop around. "Just have to bring it up to speed now."
Ron grinned, "When this baby hit eighty-eight miles per hours, you're going to see some serious shit."
Rufus laughed while Wade chuckled at the joke. Bonnie simply rolled her eyes before checking the window. She saw they were getting faster and faster up to a normal speed of a train until they started to reach faster still. She held the wall a second to steady herself. "Easy with the bumps."
"Can't help that," Wade stated with his hands on an old fashion joy stick. "with the speed we are going and the speed we need to get up to the train will shake a little."
"How long will it be before this train becomes a cannon?" Ron could not help but ask as they steady themselves as the train was flying down the railing now.
"I'm hitting the speed now. About to jump the train, brace for impact." Wade said as steady his hands ready for the right moment.
"Don't say it like" Bonnie started to say before the train jumped the tracks and at their speed and angle sent them flying into the air, "THAAAT!"
The group held on as they saw the stone wall coming into view.
(scene change)
Crystal sat curled into a ball as she sat in the dark crying. She was at the prison for a short amount of time and she hated every minute of it. First thing they did was separated her from Kim. This really scared her as she knew Kim was strong and would protect her if she had too. Not only were they separated but also keep in different parts of the prison. She learned she was in a lower security section with less violent criminals. She was thankful for that as no one really did or looked at her. They were surprised to see someone so young with them but were wearier of the guards then with her. A few hours later after a small meal the guards took her and locked her up inside this hole. With the iron gate above her all she can do is look up at the cloudy sky. Soon darkness settled and she found herself shivering from the cold.
To make matters worse is the crystals on her arms never stopped growing. Now they cover most of her arm like one large sheet rather than a bunch of tiny pieces. Not just her arms but her legs as well as a few other places on her body. As she curled up the crystals on the ground that had fallen off grew into large crystals. The large stones worried are as if they were about to trap her at any moment. Her head shot up with a start when she heard a thundering crash with stone and metal breaking. She looked up and saw the spot lights shine into the yard where she was kept as alarms were sounding. She didn't notice the crystals growing and covering her form even more. She stayed still wondering what was going on before she heard a voice…a voice she hadn't heard for what felt like a long time. "Crystal!"
"Bonnie?" Crystal repeated quietly before she shouted, "Bonnie!"
"I'm here, and I brought some backup! We're getting you out of here!" Bonnie said as Crystal listened to her.
"How? This might make things worse since I'm already in prison." Crystal, but then heard another voice. Another familiar voice that got her confused.
"The Contessa's not your friend, and is playing you, GJ, and the actual criminals in here. I'm already working on it so just wait a little bit." Ron said and Crystal waited, wondering why the Contessa, a policewoman, was not working in her best interests. That was when she Ron talk again, "Alright, I'm all set up here, and you might want to stand back, and off to the side."
Crystal complied and that's when the door to her cell was blown off, and it was good thing she stood back and to the side because the door was blown right to the back of the cell. She stepped out to see Bonnie dressed as Catgirl and Ron dressed as some video game or anime character.
"Bonnie? Ron? Why are you dressed like that?" She had to ask as she looked at them, and then saw the train wreck in the wall, "What the hell did you do!?"
"It's not like we can just waltz in as Bonnie and Ron, and as for the train wreck, that was his idea." Bonnie pointed to Ron as she said it, and Ron did look a little sheepish.
"Yeah, but at least it gives us a way out. Now, we should get out of here before the guards show up. We'll fill you in on what's going on later before we rescue KP." The girls agreed and fled with Ron through the hole that the train made, and they started to run across the rooftops, Ron carrying Crystal because she lacked the ninja-like agility that the two had.
Crystal held onto Ron tight as she looked down as they hopped from a rooftop. She didn't know Ron or Bonnie were capable of doing stuff like that. Then again she knew Ron was able to keep up with Kim on her missions around the world and Bonnie was the best cheerleader second only to Kim. He glanced back as the building she just escaped from as the alarms kept going and they can hear the movement of men not too far off. "Where are going now?"
"To a safe-house," Bonnie said up ahead of them. "Somewhere we can keep you safe until we can get a ride to take you home."
Crystal was quite happy to finally be able to leave this nightmare of a place. However, she was not out yet as a door on one of the rooftops open up and several guards came out, "There they are!" one cried as they charged out.
Bonnie and Ron slid to a stop before Ron placed Crystal down, "Crystal stay back, we'll handle this."
Crystal could only nod as she stepped back as Ron and Bonnie charged at the men. The men held out billy clubs and attempted to beat the two teens. But Ron and Bonnie were much faster and were able to duck and weave out of the attack and counter before a true defend could be held. Bonnie held her whip to smack several guards, tripping some up and also disarming one of them. Ron drew a metal staff that extended and used to block attacks and attacked with combos Crystals thought she would only see in action or kung fu movies. The fact he also had smaller gadgets he used to disarm to disable a guard left her stunned. Seeing her two friends, or one friend and one acquaintance, able to kick butt and be almost like real superheroes left her standing there not noticing someone sneaking up on her. She stiffens when the heard the click of a gun and turned to see a guard holding a gun at her. She quickly held her hands up. "Don't make any funny move," the guard warned.
She gulped not making a move and sweat forming on her brow. Unfortunately, the crystals on her arms started to grow again and cover her arms and body more. The guard jerked the gun at her, "I said don't move."
"I'm not doing it," Crystals said quickly turning to face him with her arms still up, "I can't control them."
The guard however held his gun ready to fire as Crystal screamed and covered her face with her eyes closed knowing what was going to happen next.
Ron and Bonnie froze when they heard their friend scream and worst when a gun shot was heard. "Crystal!" they both shouted, knocking another guard out before turning to their friend. But what they found surprised them.
Crystal heard the shot but did not feel any pain. She slowly opens her eyes and all she saw was green. The same green crystals growing on her had completely covered her arms. Even more as they grew outward more making two crystal blocks on her arms. She moved them apart seeing they were not heavy at all and ended into two points before they shrunk down and incased her fingers. She found this strange as she flexed and moved her fingers and found she could easily move them as if they were in gloves. A quick glance at her body to see the crystal also covered her almost like armor but moved with her as if she was wearing normal clothes. Looking up she saw the guard stunned before her holding the gun limply in his hands. Crystal reacted and smacked the gun out of his hands and down to the street below. The guard looked at the street before he snarled at her. Crystal quickly muttered softly, "sorry" as if that might help.
It didn't as the man pulled his billy club and swung at her. The club however caught one of her covered arms and broke. The man stared at his damage weapon before he was kicked in the face by Bonnie. Bonnie then quickly grabbed Crystal's hand and pulling her, "C'mon, we have to go."
Crystal did not argue as she ran to Ron and got onto his back again and they took off once more before more men arrive.
(scene change)
Once they reached the safe-house and made sure no one could see them the three teens went inside. Ron and Bonnie sat down catching their breaths. Crystal sat down looking at her hands still covered in the crystal armor. She wasn't sure what to make of it since they showed no sign of growing again. She remembered how they looked when they stopped the bullet. Heck there was barely a mark on the arms. Recalling the bulkier point, she gasped when the crystals shifted and they became that form again. "You okay Crystal?" Bonnie asked hearing her gasp.
Crystal nodded as they manage to shift the crystals into the smaller form. "Yeah, I just finally seem to be able to control these slightly. I still can't get rid of these though."
"You will get it," Ron said, "Hope and Marcella manage to control their powers and turn them off. The same can happen to you."
Crystal nodded, "Okay…what now? Don't we still need to get Kim?"
"We will get a ride to come and pick you up," Bonnie stated, "Then we will go and break Kim out of here."
Crystal frown, surprise by this plan, "Will you two be able to do it?"
Ron smiled and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry we can do this."
Crystal looked down at her hands, remember how much Kim had tried to help her from the very start of all this mess. Crystal felt bad about how she is out when who know what was happening to her friend. She closed her hands and looked determined and looked up at Bonnie, "Then I'm staying."
"No you are not," Bonnie countered her eyes narrowing, "You been through enough."
"And Kim is going through more," Crystal said standing up, "it just doesn't feel right to just leave without her as well."
"Kim is a big girl," Bonnie tried to explain, "She had been through tougher stuff than this. I am not letting my friend stay near this hell for a minute longer."
"I'm not abandoning Kim."
Ron was quite as he looked at the two, "Crystal you aren't abandoning her. Kim wouldn't feel bad if you left, in fact she would be relieved to hear you are safe."
"I can't," Crystal stated firmly "I can't leave when she is still here. I'll when we all leave."
Bonnie groaned feeling like hitting her head against the wall. It was like dealing with Kim and her stubborn nature again. "Fine whatever."
Wade's face appeared on the TV they were sitting around, "Well if you are staying then I think we might be able to get Kim out and stop Contessa. The security has been increased heavily but I believe I have a plan to get her out. But I will need to do a few things before we can break her out."
Bonnie scoffed, "Even when she's not here Kim is becoming a pain."
"We'll do whatever it takes," Crystal said with a grin determined.
Ron grinned, "We got this, Wade. Time to break Kim out of jail….man that is something I never thought I would ever say."
Well here is part one of a new story arch and also show another of their friends with powers. I hoped everyone liked it and be ready for the next chapter as they plan and work to get Kim out of prison and take down Contessa. Until then read and review people.
