Kim had already gone home after one more night in the hospital. She felt much better, and was determined to find Drakken and Pyrolite on her own. One morning, Ron woke up to the sounds of tapping at his window. It was about seven AM and Rufus pointed to the window, squeaking.
"Kim?" He asked, surprised. He walked to the window and opened it. Kim was leaning agianst it from a tree outside. "Ron, I'm going to find Dr. Drakken and Pyrolite." she informed him.
"You can't do that! Look what that freak did to you already!" he answered back. It was no use because Kim puffed out her lower lip and it quivered. She looked up at him, making her eyes bigger and watery. "You aren't coming, Ron?" she asked, trying to sound innocent.
He sighed. "Where's the plane? And do your parents know you're going?" he asked, also climbing out on the tree. She shook her head. "I left a note and I convinced Wade to call your parents later to tell them you're on a mission."
They climbed down and Ron stopped to look at Kim strangely. "HE'S helping us?"
The familiar global justice jet hovered on the street, waiting for them to board. Kim smiled. "I needed a fast ride, and HE said that HE would help if it was be more difficult. And anyway, HE has a good computer that Wade can use to help them."
As she explained, they boarded HIS jet and no other then Will Do sat at the controls. Ron threw himself in a chair and rolled in it. "I missed the squishy chairs..." he said, hugging it. Rufus climbed out of his pocket and rolled along with him. Will Do was explaining to Kim how they were going to find Pyrolite while they did that. "There was a slim chance that 'Pyrolite' still had any traces of your blood on her nails but there was still luckily some left. As long as it was on, Wade could use it to pinpoint where she was, including you since all blood or DNA is never the same as another. Right now she is in...." Will explained, and a map appeared on the screen of his computer. "New Zealand."
~ New Zealand ~
Pyrolite woke up to the sounds of the propellers slowing down. It was just a little cold, and she rolled over, forcing herself into a ball to stay warmer. "Thank god you're up..." she heard Drakken say, sounding very tired and annoyed. She suddenly felt his finger in her mouth and she spit it out, and finally let go of his wrist. She looked over at him, trying to smile. It was hard when Drakken was staring at her evily.
"I was up all night, with you clamping unto my finger and arm... and to make it worse you were snoring so loud I swear everyone within New Zealand heard you!" he shouted and jumped out of the Helicopter, not wanting to be near the idiot who kept him up all night.
Pyrolite grinned. She felt accomplished now. Then there was a small rustle so she jumped out and stared in the direction of it. She could easily make it four shapes within the forest and saw eight bright blue eyes staring at her. Pyrolite turned to Drakken who was now looking at the mountain wondering how the heck he would survive the climb. She didn't want to make him think she was more of an idiot so all Pyrolite did was start climbing, keeping an eye of the shadows that would change their hiding spot every now and then.
Dr. Drakken sighed. He hated climbing or anything too physical.
He started climbing grudgingly. Since it wasn't a big slope it was easier then he thought. About ten yards higher, Pyrolite was kneeling on a stone pointing outwards, scoping the forest. She recognized the four black figures staying in the shadows, slowly following them. They want Drakken, she thought to herself silently and helped Drakken up. He stared at her. "Tell me again why I agreed to do this."
They started the climb again, this time side by side. Then Pyrolite came to a familiar ledge. She turned to Drakken, smiling. "We're really close now!"
She pulled herself up easily, and ended up pulling Drakken up, too. She felt around the 'wall' of the mountain and felt the slight crack running through it. She shoved it open, revealing the long tunnel again.
"Home!" she shouted and pranced inside happily. "Did you miss me? Yesh you did! Oh, yesh you did!" she said, stroking one of the statues like it was real and baby-talking it.
"You do too worship animals!" He grumbled and she glared at him.
"Nuh-uh!" she protested and scrambled down the tunnel in an un-dignifed way and bumped into some ...thing...
"Pyro!" It said happily, and Dr. Drakken saw rows of sharp fangs when it spoke. Then the ice-blue eyes behind the hood worked it's way over to where he was standing nervously. It snorted and steam shot out from it's nostrils. "Dr. Drakken... HELLO!!" It shouted with a large mood swing. 'It' dove toward Drakken for a big hug that would probably break his spine. The hood flapped down as it made the dive and Drakken side-stepped/scrambled out of harms way, obviously freaking out.
"What the hell are you?!" he asked, cautiously poking the creature's side. It giggled and easily picked him up by the arm. "I'm a shark shifter! The leader of the Cosmos clan! So, my name is obviously Cosmos..."
Drakken was petrified. It looked really real. And it had sharp fangs, and webbed hands with pointed claws dangerously poking out. "So... do you like our most excellent clan?" Cosmos asked, swishing his tail back and forth happily. "Yeah... sure." Drakken mumbled, not being able to keep his eyes away from the fangs only about six inches away from his face. Pyrolite walked up and looked at the pale Dr. Drakken. "Uh... Cosmos. Maybe you should put him down..." she suggested and the shark shifter dropped him. "Right." he said, grinning sheepishly as Drakken fell on his back, looking up at the two of them staring down. Pyrolite had that goofy smile on her face, and... and Cosmos was just freaky!
He got up and cleared his throat. "Okay... can you just answer this one little question I have out of about... one hundred?" he simply asked and Pyrolite and Cosmos looked at eachother. "Sure..." "So... why the heck did you "shifters" (does the finger thing) make this this "clan?" he asked. Cosmos looked at Pyrolite and shrugged. "Because it was COOL! And us shifters don't like cities, too. DUH-UH!"
Then Drakken realized why he agreed to come to this messed up place. To find and 'capture' the fighters.
"One corndog on the wall, one corndog... take it down, pass it around, no more corndogs on the wall!" Ron sang along with Rufus at the back of the jet. Kim was grinding her teeth. Will was trying to stay calm.
"LET'S DO IT AGAIN!" He shouted and began the evil satanic singing again.
Kim glared back dangerously. "Will you shut up?! You sang that ever since we left and now it's night!" she shouted and Will swallowed, shutting his eyes trying to drown the sounds of their fighting out of his head.
"Masha, Masha, Masha, Masha! Can you heeeeeeere me?" Ron fought back. Will opened his eyes and looked back. "What was that?" he asked and Ron shrugged. "I dunno."
Ron finally gave in and looked out the window. All he saw was ocean. "So, who wants to play 'I spy?' I GO FIRST!" He burst out hysterically and pressed his face against the window.
"Now let me see.... I spy with my little eye something... blue and wavy!"
Kim and Will looked at eachother. "Now, Will... let's stop and think about this one..." Kim said, pretending to think. Ron tried to stifle a laugh. "I got them in the palm of my hand, Rufus!" he whispered to the naked mole rat, clueless they were pretending.
"My guess is... the ocean?!" Will asked and Ron folded his arms. There was a beeping noise and Ron started freaking out. "WHAT'S THAT? I heard a beep! Is it a good or bad beep, Will? MASHA?! What was that?" he asked and the two in the front once again looked behind them, eyebrows raised.
"Is he normally like that?" Will whispered and Kim sighed. "Not usually... I guess the whole Pyrolite deal got him a little paranoid."
Will looked down on the computer and it showed the red dot getting closer. "We're almost there." he said calmly, not wanting to get any louder. "Whaaaa?!" they heard Ron in the back, and Kim repeated the answer to him. "Ooohhhh.... A-OKAY!" He shouted back and started the rolling again.
Even thought it didn't look like it, Ron was really worrying about Kim amidst all the rolling. He knew that Kim shouldn't be even traveling too much with her injuries. But it looked like the cuts weren't even close to bleeding anymore, and you anyway couldn't see the bandage under her shirt, so it wasn't too easy to know what condition she was in. Then he fell asleep.
Kim fell asleep and Will put the jet in auto-pilot and he leaned back in his seat and also eventually dozed off. In the morning, everyone woke up to the annoying sound of the beeping. It was obvious they were near Pyrolite, and Drakken if he was still with her.
They landed and Kim turned to Will.
"So.. you aren't coming..." she asked, hopefully. Will shook his head. "I have a more SERIOUS mission." he answered and flew off. Kim snorted. "More serious? I'd like to see him get ripped apart at the back!"
Ron was exploring, and then called for her. "KP, look what I found!"
Kim walked over and saw the helicopter. It's landing things were all dented like they fell from a height. The first thing she thought of was to check inside to find any clues to where they were going, but when she saw barely noticeable footprints heading toward the mountain, and a slight claw mark she easily knew they headed up the mountain. "Come on, Ron." she called and began climbing.
That was when she noticed it was like there were more people like Pyrolite further up the mountain. There was about ten marks altogether, and she knew that it wasn't like Pyrolite would stop and would have start scratching rocks out of boredom. Ron climbed his way next to her, panting. "I bet Dr. D. died trying to climb this pile of rocks."
She smiled and continued her climbing with ease, having to stop various times to help Ron. It seemed like they were only climbing for twenty minutes, until Kim realized they didn't go any further. It just felt that way.
She saw a ledge to her left and jumped over to a tall rock. Using that, she hoisted herself up and clamped her hands around Ron's to also pull himself up.
Kim looked around the ledge. "I guess I made a wrong turn..."
Then Ron leaned against the 'wall' of the mountain to catch his breath and fell backwards. Kim turned to sound of stone against stone and she smiled. "Nice work, Ron!"
He felt special at hearing that and stood up, proudly. "Mad skill!"
They entered through the passageway. Seeing all the statues, they knew that Pyrolite was here. Ron looked around, sadly. "They have no naked mole rat statues..." he said, dissapointed and Rufus sniffed.
Then there was the sound of footsteps. They each dove behind a statue (Ron was behind a falcon and Kim a wolf) and listened. The footsteps were heavy and you could tell it was two people.
"I bet you anything that the Reguba clan knows about Pyrolite and Dr. Drakken. Pyro told me a while ago she saw four shadows following them ever since they left." one voice said, that sounded like a mix of a human voice and growl.
The second voice answered, "Probably. Anyone new and they'll take them. 'Make the armies,' I bet. What's there to fight, anyway?"
They voices eventaully died away and they came out of their hiding places. Kim ran to the doorway creating and large room, and there were two sets of stairs. She picked walking right and followed a a hallway decorated with symbols and various other things painted on. There was a large door and loud voices inside. Kim ran full speed past, catching a glimpse of hundreds of people. Some even had fur and a tail, and a couple had wings. She then came to a circular room full of weapons. The walls were decorated with tapestries and paintings of animal-human hybrids.
"Wow!" Ron said and walked forward to a table with various blades on it. "Kim, these are sweet!" he said, picking up a dagger and twirling it around, while Kim looked at the tapestries. Nothing seemed to be stolen or had importance to her.
The whirling blade Ron was spinning around somehow came loose from his grip and went flying into stacks of spears leaning against the wall. They all fell with a loud clatter.
Just down the hall, Pyrolite and Dr. Drakken were walking.
He had "convinced" Pyrolite to show him where she got that "great" sword. Pyrolite was smiling, finally feeling a little appreciated by him. "You think this is good, wait until you some some of the scythes! They're huge and - " she started but a loud clatter came in the direction of the weaponry.
She shrugged and continued on her way. Probably someone messing with the stuff...
They both walked in to to see Kim and Ron.
"YOU are still alive?" Pyrolite growled, and got into a fighting stance immediatly. Kim also readied herself and grinned. "Alive and Kickin'! This time, you won't be too lucky!" she said, still smirking and Pyrolite couldn't help but take one step back. She looked really confident of herself.
They both scanned the walls. Lots of weapons. That was good. Large choice. Also good.
Drakken knew they were looking at all the pointy, sharp objects. They better not start throwing stuff, he thought and winced as an image got into his head, that was a little too bloody for me to describe to you. (For your own sakes... :) Ron was backing himself into a corner where he felt protected and grabbed a sheild amongst the weapons and whimpered, pulling it over him.
"Drakken... get Cosmos." Pyrolite said, now trying to stare Kim down.
"Who?" he asked rather stupidly.
"Comsos! The shark guy you're paranoid of!" she repeated, letting her guard to look back at him. He growled. "I'm not paranoid, it's just that, Uh... Kim is sort of - "
Then Pyrolite was knocked flat on her face. She looked up to see Kim staring down at her, still smiling. She roared and then kicked upwards with her legs, full force. Kim stepped back easily as Pyrolite leapt on to her feet and jumped backwards, feeling around her for a weapon. "Yes... that is my arm."
She had accidentally grabbed Drakken by the arm, and this time didn't look back to talk. "This is where you leave to go get Cosmos!" she hissed and Drakken sighed, turning to leave. He wasn't really worried for Pyrolite. He knew Kim couldn't have healed all the way, and Pyro was just too good of a fighter. He turned and walked calmy to get lost in attempt to find Cosmos.
Finally finding a pike, Pyrolite pulled it infront of her and smiled. Kim also took a long jump backwards and reached for a scythe. She held it infront of her, trying not to make it seem she really didn't think it was heavy. Pyrolite sensed she never touched a scythe before and leaped, twisted her body around, sticking the pike out in a straight line infront of her. The spear-like weapon broke in contact with the blade, but sent woodchips flying in every direction. It burrowed into both of them painfully.
They just bounced off Ron's sheild.
Pyrolite felt blood almost pouring from her shoulder. She had to end this fast.
Grabbing the sword, still around her belt she held it up high and brought it back down, hacking through the handle of the scythe. The blade flopped uselessly to the ground and Kim ducked as the sword once-again tried to cut through her. She felt the wind pass right infront of her face as the sword blade passed by her very quickly. While Pyrolite was withdrawing to stab Kim in the stomach, Kim dropped to the floor and kicked her in the ribs. Pyrolite heard the clang of the sword dropping to the ground, and twisted quickly around to see Kim aiming a punch at her face. Pyrolite turned her head back and grabbed her wrist, the claws digging into Kim's skin. Ron cringed as he heard skin being peirced and decided to take action.
Rufus was next to him holding a handful of stones.
"Throw!" the naked mole rat demanded, picking up one and chucking it at Pyrolite. It wasn't even close to hitting the target. At the same time, Pyrolite had the advantage. Kim was on the ground, getting pulled up by the wrist and wasn't able to hurt her in any way. Then it felt like there was a rainshower of stones on her back. She whirled around and dropped Kim, glaring at Ron. She made her way over, eyes transfixed on him.
"That's odd.... Somebody's throwing stuff...." he said, hiding the handfull of stones behind his back.
Pyrolite glared shortly and shrugged. "Damn poltergeists..."
Then she turned to where Kim had previously been, only to recieve a punch to the face. Falling onto her back, Pyrolite winced, realizing that it was the blade of the scythe she hit. The cut didn't feel to deep, so she leapt at Kim, baring her sharp teeth and snarling.
Kim readied herself for what came next. Pyrolite constantly punched and scratched her. Kim dodged most of them, but when her arm was used to block a punch she felt the canines of Pyrolite's teeth digging into her skin. That left a mark.
Jumping back, Kim twirled around hitting Pyrolite in the side. She staggered a few paces, and her eyes almost danced with hatred and the determination of death. She used the table to help herself back up. She felt blood draining from her shoulder and back, and then realized she would eventually loose to much blood to fight if this was how the fight would continue.
Pyrolite used her own trick, using the wall to bounce back at Kim. She shoved her legs outward and was successful as Kim was knocked into a wall. There was a crunch of loose stones being cracked a bit, but Kim immediatly got back up.
Pyrolite felt her blood boil. How the hell can she just take those hits like that? She's already injured, she thought and then smiled. Her injury from the previous fight.
She was punched in the jaw, but completely ignored the pain radiating from the hit. Instead she crouched low, and kicked out with her legs sending Kim sprawling.
"Doesn't this look familiar?" She grinned, the canines glinting with traces of Kim's blood. She raised a hand, and slashed downwards. It felt like it was in slow motion. Kim closed her eyes, getting ready to feel excrutiating pain. But it never came. Instead she heard the snarl of Pyrolite, and looked to see an arrow in her shoulder. It already had blood covered on it, so she knew it was the same one from the woodchips.
Pyrolite searched the room, and eyes immediatly fell on the petrified Ron, trembling, holding the quiver. She knew that he wasn't used to hurting anyone. She ignored the pain, and quickly walked over, simply grabbing the quiver and tossing it to the other side of the room.
"Pyro!" She heard someone say.
Thank god, it was Cosmos.
Then Drakken walked in and immediatly saw the condition of Kim. Not too bad. Just a couple of large bruises and scratches. A chunk of her arm was missing, and she was bleeding in various other places. He was dissapointed. Then he looked up to see Ron. In perfect condition.
Almost like he didn't care, Drakken sighed and looked over to where Pyrolite was being helped to stand up by Cosmos. He jumped a bit at the sight of her.
Pyrolite was like a bloody lump with legs. Heck, she even had an arrow in her shoulder. Drakken walked over, purposely kicking Kim as he went.
"Dr. Drakken, stay here with Pyrolite while I go find someone to help those two. I know you'll just get lost." Cosmos demanded and leaped over Kim, who was getting up. The shark ran out of the room in a hurry on all fours. Ron set the sheild down and rushed over to Kim.
"Kim! Are you alright?" he asked, helping her get up the rest of the way. She nodded and looked at Pyrolite, who was glaring at her dangerously, and in pain. Drakken was looking around the room. It was like a bloody mess. A scythe blade was covered in blood, the sword was untouched and peices of what were once handles were scattered across the room. The stone wall was slightly cracked in a small part. He sighed, not being able to just stand here while someone who beat up Kim was in pain. Especially when Kim was in the room. "So I assume none of you really 'won.' " he stated, thinking of nothing else to say and everyone glared at him.
"Gosh Dr. D! Is that how you usually treat people who probably saved your life before?!" Ron asked, and Kim rolled her eyes. "How low can you go?"
Pyrolite was just silent, staring off into space.
That was when Cosmos came back in followed by two other shifters. They were both female and one had light brown fur covering her skin and had gold, sharp eyes. Her 'mane' was a golden-brown color and she took in the surroundings quickly. "You two... with me! NOW!" She snarled, referring to Kim and Ron.
They silently obeyed and went up to her. They walked off while the other regular person helped Pyrolite walk with her to Cosmos. They headed in the same direction of where Kim and Ron went, leaving Dr. Drakken. He sighed guiltily and sat on a table, fiddling with a arrow as he heard the footsteps fade away.

Authoresses notes - That was very long. I hope you enjoyed it because I spent a while trying to come up with every detail in this chapter. No one loves me! Oh, well. People tend to dislike fanfiction with their own characters in it. Sigh.... well review if I should make NE couples in this. Nooooooo K/R! I dislike that couple. And Shego might appear in later chapters, I'm trying to figure out how to work her in.

The second voice answered, "Probably. Anyone new and they'll take them. 'Make the armies,' I bet. What's there to fight, anyway?"
They voices eventaully died away and they came out of their hiding places. Kim ran to the doorway creating and large room, and there were two sets of stairs. She picked walking right and followed a a hallway decorated with symbols and various other things painted on. There was a large door and loud voices inside. Kim ran full speed past, catching a glimpse of hundreds of people. Some even had fur and a tail, and a couple had wings. She then came to a circular room full of weapons. The walls were decorated with tapestries and paintings of animal-human hybrids.
"Wow!" Ron said and walked forward to a table with various blades on it. "Kim, these are sweet!" he said, picking up a dagger and twirling it around, while Kim looked at the tapestries. Nothing seemed to be stolen or had importance to her.
The whirling blade Ron was spinning around somehow came loose from his grip and went flying into stacks of spears leaning against the wall. They all fell with a loud clatter.
Just down the hall, Pyrolite and Dr. Drakken were walking.
He had "convinced" Pyrolite to show him where she got that "great" sword. Pyrolite was smiling, finally feeling a little appreciated by him. "You think this is good, wait until you some some of the scythes! They're huge and - " she started but a loud clatter came in the direction of the weaponry.
She shrugged and continued on her way. Probably someone messing with the stuff...
They both walked in to to see Kim and Ron.
"YOU are still alive?" Pyrolite growled, and got into a fighting stance immediatly. Kim also readied herself and grinned. "Alive and Kickin'! This time, you won't be too lucky!" she said, still smirking and Pyrolite couldn't help but take one step back. She looked really confident of herself.
They both scanned the walls. Lots of weapons. That was good. Large choice. Also good.
Drakken knew they were looking at all the pointy, sharp objects. They better not start throwing stuff, he thought and winced as an image got into his head, that was a little too bloody for me to describe to you. (For your own sakes... :) Ron was backing himself into a corner where he felt protected and grabbed a sheild amongst the weapons and whimpered, pulling it over him.
"Drakken... get Cosmos." Pyrolite said, now trying to stare Kim down.
"Who?" he asked rather stupidly.
"Comsos! The shark guy you're paranoid of!" she repeated, letting her guard to look back at him. He growled. "I'm not paranoid, it's just that, Uh... Kim is sort of - "
Then Pyrolite was knocked flat on her face. She looked up to see Kim staring down at her, still smiling. She roared and then kicked upwards with her legs, full force. Kim stepped back easily as Pyrolite leapt on to her feet and jumped backwards, feeling around her for a weapon. "Yes... that is my arm."
She had accidentally grabbed Drakken by the arm, and this time didn't look back to talk. "This is where you leave to go get Cosmos!" she hissed and Drakken sighed, turning to leave. He wasn't really worried for Pyrolite. He knew Kim couldn't have healed all the way, and Pyro was just too good of a fighter. He turned and walked calmy to get lost in attempt to find Cosmos.
Finally finding a pike, Pyrolite pulled it infront of her and smiled. Kim also took a long jump backwards and reached for a scythe. She held it infront of her, trying not to make it seem she really didn't think it was heavy. Pyrolite sensed she never touched a scythe before and leaped, twisted her body around, sticking the pike out in a straight line infront of her. The spear-like weapon broke in contact with the blade, but sent woodchips flying in every direction. It burrowed into both of them painfully.
They just bounced off Ron's sheild.
Pyrolite felt blood almost pouring from her shoulder. She had to end this fast.
Grabbing the sword, still around her belt she held it up high and brought it back down, hacking through the handle of the scythe. The blade flopped uselessly to the ground and Kim ducked as the sword once-again tried to cut through her. She felt the wind pass right infront of her face as the sword blade passed by her very quickly. While Pyrolite was withdrawing to stab Kim in the stomach, Kim dropped to the floor and kicked her in the ribs. Pyrolite heard the clang of the sword dropping to the ground, and twisted quickly around to see Kim aiming a punch at her face. Pyrolite turned her head back and grabbed her wrist, the claws digging into Kim's skin. Ron cringed as he heard skin being peirced and decided to take action.
Rufus was next to him holding a handful of stones.
"Throw!" the naked mole rat demanded, picking up one and chucking it at Pyrolite. It wasn't even close to hitting the target. At the same time, Pyrolite had the advantage. Kim was on the ground, getting pulled up by the wrist and wasn't able to hurt her in any way. Then it felt like there was a rainshower of stones on her back. She whirled around and dropped Kim, glaring at Ron. She made her way over, eyes transfixed on him.
"That's odd.... Somebody's throwing stuff...." he said, hiding the handfull of stones behind his back.
Pyrolite glared shortly and shrugged. "Damn poltergeists..."
Then she turned to where Kim had previously been, only to recieve a punch to the face. Falling onto her back, Pyrolite winced, realizing that it was the blade of the scythe she hit. The cut didn't feel to deep, so she leapt at Kim, baring her sharp teeth and snarling.
Kim readied herself for what came next. Pyrolite constantly punched and scratched her. Kim dodged most of them, but when her arm was used to block a punch she felt the canines of Pyrolite's teeth digging into her skin. That left a mark.
Jumping back, Kim twirled around hitting Pyrolite in the side. She staggered a few paces, and her eyes almost danced with hatred and the determination of death. She used the table to help herself back up. She felt blood draining from her shoulder and back, and then realized she would eventually loose to much blood to fight if this was how the fight would continue.
Pyrolite used her own trick, using the wall to bounce back at Kim. She shoved her legs outward and was successful as Kim was knocked into a wall. There was a crunch of loose stones being cracked a bit, but Kim immediatly got back up.
Pyrolite felt her blood boil. How the hell can she just take those hits like that? She's already injured, she thought and then smiled. Her injury from the previous fight.
She was punched in the jaw, but completely ignored the pain radiating from the hit. Instead she crouched low, and kicked out with her legs sending Kim sprawling.
"Doesn't this look familiar?" She grinned, the canines glinting with traces of Kim's blood. She raised a hand, and slashed downwards. It felt like it was in slow motion. Kim closed her eyes, getting ready to feel excrutiating pain. But it never came. Instead she heard the snarl of Pyrolite, and looked to see an arrow in her shoulder. It already had blood covered on it, so she knew it was the same one from the woodchips.
Pyrolite searched the room, and eyes immediatly fell on the petrified Ron, trembling, holding the quiver. She knew that he wasn't used to hurting anyone. She ignored the pain, and quickly walked over, simply grabbing the quiver and tossing it to the other side of the room.
"Pyro!" She heard someone say.
Thank god, it was Cosmos.
Then Drakken walked in and immediatly saw the condition of Kim. Not too bad. Just a couple of large bruises and scratches. A chunk of her arm was missing, and she was bleeding in various other places. He was dissapointed. Then he looked up to see Ron. In perfect condition.
Almost like he didn't care, Drakken sighed and looked over to where Pyrolite was being helped to stand up by Cosmos. He jumped a bit at the sight of her.
Pyrolite was like a bloody lump with legs. Heck, she even had an arrow in her shoulder. Drakken walked over, purposely kicking Kim as he went.
"Dr. Drakken, stay here with Pyrolite while I go find someone to help those two. I know you'll just get lost." Cosmos demanded and leaped over Kim, who was getting up. The shark ran out of the room in a hurry on all fours. Ron set the sheild down and rushed over to Kim.
"Kim! Are you alright?" he asked, helping her get up the rest of the way. She nodded and looked at Pyrolite, who was glaring at her dangerously, and in pain. Drakken was looking around the room. It was like a bloody mess. A scythe blade was covered in blood, the sword was untouched and peices of what were once handles were scattered across the room. The stone wall was slightly cracked in a small part. He sighed, not being able to just stand here while someone who beat up Kim was in pain. Especially when Kim was in the room. "So I assume none of you really 'won.' " he stated, thinking of nothing else to say and everyone glared at him.
"Gosh Dr. D! Is that how you usually treat people who probably saved your life before?!" Ron asked, and Kim rolled her eyes. "How low can you go?"
Pyrolite was just silent, staring off into space.
That was when Cosmos came back in followed by two other shifters. They were both female and one had light brown fur covering her skin and had gold, sharp eyes. Her 'mane' was a golden-brown color and she took in the surroundings quickly. "You two... with me! NOW!" She snarled, referring to Kim and Ron.
They silently obeyed and went up to her. They walked off while the other regular person helped Pyrolite walk with her to Cosmos. They headed in the same direction of where Kim and Ron went, leaving Dr. Drakken. He sighed guiltily and sat on a table, fiddling with a arrow as he heard the footsteps fade away.

Authoresses notes - That was very long. I hope you enjoyed it because I spent a while trying to come up with every detail in this chapter. No one loves me! Oh, well. People tend to dislike fanfiction with their own characters in it. Sigh.... well review if I should make NE couples in this. Nooooooo K/R! I dislike that couple. And Shego might appear in later chapters, I'm trying to figure out how to work her in.
