Chapter 3: Velius

Kim looked up and squinted her eyes as the affects of the brightness still affected her eyes. However a giant form soon appeared and she knew that it must be Jude. Her eyes finally cleared up and before her stood an immense monster. It had blue skin and four arms. It was ridiculously muscular and judging by his size, could easily lift a large truck above his head. Speaking of his head, it was the head of a Ram with horns on each side of his forehead and long curly hair surrounded his entire face. He also had a large beard which reached all the way down to his lower ribs. Strangely it had no eyes, yet Kim could sense that it was not blind and had the ability to see clearly. It wore a sort of robe and large boots and in a word: it was scary. Kim was very scared and nervous but knew from long ago never to let her enemies see it and she stood her ground. The Mercenaries still remained in the room and were frightened of the creature and rasied there guns at it. The creature finally looked up and spoke.

"....incredible....I am Velius!." Velius mummbled.

"stand your ground men!" shouted one of the mercenaries, Kim assumed that he must have been the leader. The mercenaries aimed their guns at the creature Velius. They tried to remain tough, but you could see the fear in their eyes.

"What are you doing? Have you turned on me?" said Velius to his mercenaries.

"We work for Jude! What have you done with him?" yelled the head mercenary.

"fools I am Jude! But no matter, your service is no longer needed. Time to test my strength" yelled Velius.

"Open fire!" yelled one of the mercenaries. They opened fire with their handguns and automatic rifle as Velius stood there laughing.

"It's not working!" yelled one of the mercenaries with terror in his voice. The mercenaries began to step back as Velius continued to laugh. However the leader of the mercenaries was a battle hardened fighter and attempted to rally his troops. He stepped forward and signaled his mercenaries to continue the fight.

"Come on you cowards!" he yelled back to his own men, who still were to afraid to attack. The leader looked back at his troops and saw the fear in their eyes; they would not fight. He then turned back to look at Velius who was now just a few inches from his face. Velius grabbed his neck and picked him up off the floor. The other mercenaries then fled leaving their leader to his horrible fate. Kim, who had been out of the way behind the cylinder that Drakken had been hiding behind now saw the danger the head mercenary was in and even though he had tried to kill her a few minutes eariler she knew that she must try to help him. She ran over to Velius and delivered a hard punch to the stomach and a good kick to the face, knocking him back a little yet he still retained his grip on the mercenary. Velius' smile quickly faded: he was not amused.

"Kim Possible? I thought you would have been smarter than to try and attack me." Velius aid.

"I guess not! Let that guy go!" She said pointing to the helpless mercenary. Velius then smiled again.

"Ok.." he said as threw the mercenary out the large window in the roof. After seeing this Kim again went in for another attack. She attempted to kick him again in the face but just before she landed the hit Velius caught her leg and then dangled her upside down.

"Kim Possible can do anything?...I think not." Velius said, "Time to finish you off!" Velius then picked up his massive arm and was about to go in for the death blow when suddenly a strange feeling came over him. The stone, which was deep inside this beast, began to respond to Kim's presence.

"Impossible!" Velius said. Kim then opened her eyes (she closed them when she saw the giant fist coming toward her) and wondered what had happened.

"Could it be? Are you the one?" Velius asked.

"What? Let me go!" Kim said.

"She is the one! This changes everything....." Velius said.

"What are you talking about? Let me go!!!" Kim said. Velius then flipped her over and held her by the neck with one of his hands.

"Don't worry Kim Possible! I won't kill you! You are the one that help me revive "bloody angel!"

"b-b-bloody...Angel?" said Kim struggling to say the words...she was being choked after all.

"Yes...my master, St. Ajora shall be revived! She will come back to the world and with me and the rest of the Zodiac Braves rule the world!"

"Great...another maniac trying to rule the world" Kim thought.

"You are the key to it all Kim Possible. Now come, we must go!" Velius said.

MEANWHILE...

Ron sat in his little inflatable raft with rufus sitting of his leg as the motor sent the raft forward at a decent speed.

"I hope Kim hasn't finished the job by the time we get there rufus!" Ron said.

"Uh huh, uh huh!" responded Rufus.

Ron was just about to land on shore when he saw a helicopter fly off from the island.

"Who's that? Maybe Kim already beat Shego!!...but...Drakken and Shego wouldn't escape in something as plain as a military heilcopter...it can't be them...." said Ron, a little confused. He reached shore, tugged his raft up the beach and ran into the complex. It took a few minutes, but finally he reached the room where Kim was and he was shocked and frieghtened by the monster that held her.

"Kim!" Ron yelled.

"Ron? Help Ron!" Kim yelled back.

"the sidekick?" Velius said.

Ron was scared of the creature and his mind told him to run away, but no. He would not abandon his best friend.

"Staying to fight?" Velius said a little surprised; Kim too was a little surprised.

"That's right!" Ron then struck various pusedo Kung Fu poses and added, "who wants some?"

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Velius laughed at this pathetic display. Velius then used his magical powers to freeze Kim so she couldn't move and put her down.

"Prepare for the end boy!" Velius then walked toward him.

"Rufus...if you got a plan, nows the time to use it..." Ron whispered to Rufus. Rufus said, "uhh?" and then retreated to the safety of Ron's pocket.

"I'm going to die!!" thought Ron. Velius then closed in to try and finish Ron off with one strong blow. " Noo!" Ron screamed as he jumped out of the way. Velius missed and hit the floor causing the whole building to shake. Ron continued to run and dodge Velius' attacks with an unusal amount agility.

"Wha?" said Kim, shocked at the nimbleness of Ron.

"Hey Rufus, I'm actually doing it!" Ron said to the mole rat in his pocket.

"Impossible....how can this mere boy stand up to the power of a Zodiac Brave? He is a worm....I CAN crush him!!!" Velius then folded his arms and began to glow. Ron stopped running around and looked at the glowing Velius.

"What now?" Ron asked himself.

"This is the end!!" Velius yelled as he threw his arms open and released a massive wave of energy toward Ron. Ron's eyes opend wide open as the huge wave approached him. Ron braced himself for death but then suddenly something in him clicked and just before he got him by the wave he ducked. He got back up and looked behind him to see the damage done by the wave of energy and it had destroyed the entire wall behind him and the shore where his raft was was now visible.

"This Kid....it can't be...he, is a descendant of the one who defeated me so long ago! It is the only explanation...if I am defeated here, there will be no one to summon St. Ajora! I must call the other Zodiac Braves!" thought Velius to himself. He then ran back to Kim and threw her over his shoulder.

"It is a sad day when a Zodiac Brave must retreat from a loser kid...but retreat I must...see you later Ron Stoppable!"

"Ron!!!" Kim yelled.

"Kim!!!" Ron yelled back. Velius then vanished into thin air and Ron was left alone in the now destroyed building.

"What do I do now?" Ron thought to himself.
