"C'mon, you guys," Kim coaxed, "we have to keep moving." Suddenly, another bird-like screech echoed throughout the sky-closer this time. Jim and Tim leaped up and yelled in unison. Kim slapped her hand over there mouths and listened. Silence. Then, a victorious screech as the pods determined their location. Leaves rustled as the pods moved towards them.
"Get up!" Kim shook Shego awake. Shego was instantly alert, and her hands glowed green. "Let's keep moving!" she hissed.
Kim rolled her eyes. "Well, no duh," she said sarcastically. "Go!" Shego shoved Kim into the undergrowth. "I'll hold them off." Kim and her brothers took off into the forest while Shego fell into a defense stance.
"Hurry up!" Kim whispered to her brothers as she ran ahead. She heard sounds of battle behind them: Shego grunting, the pods screeching.
Kim slowed down for a moment, grabbed Tim and Jim, and shot up a rope to a tree. And they swung to the next tree. This procedure was repeated several times until they were at least a mile away from the pods.
Then, they stopped for a while, the twins peering over the branch, Kim sitting down, trying to estimate how far they were away from the pods.
"Hey, Kim!" the twins chorused together. "Look!" Kim looked up, and gazed over the edge. Ron and Rufus were walking side by side, scouting the area. Kim yanked Jim and Tim back, and shushed them.
It was too late. Ron looked up, and his eyes narrowed. He pointed slowly and let out a very familiar yet spine-tingling screech. Rufus ran up the tree. "Jump!" Kim screamed, and shoved Jim over. He yelled out, "Kim, I swear I'll-oof!" He had landed on another tree branch.
Kim looked at Tim, and he yelled with fear, "I'm going! I'm going!" And he leaped over, Kim close behind him, just as Rufus reached the top. They both landed on top of each other, and looked up to see Rufus jumping up and down chittering with mini-squeaks that passed as rodent screeches.
"Let's go!" Kim said, a fierce look in her eye. "Kim," Jim said cautiously. "What are you-""Just go!" Kim said. "Leap from tree to tree, I'll catch up later." The twins were gone in an instant.
Kim took a deep breath, knowing that this was inevitable. She knew it would come to this sooner or later, she had just hoped it would be later.
She pulled in a deep breath, and found a sharp branch. She quickly whittled it into a handy little spear, and waited. Ron-Pod climbed her tree, and stood there, as if waiting for something to happen. Kim leaped with a ferocious yell-and pierced the pod right through the chest. She yanked the spear out, and stood there, gasping for breath, her surge of adrenaline gone.
Ron-Pod looked at the blood oozing out, and then looked at her again. He gave a weak, hoarse-sounding screech, and fell out of the tree until he hit the ground and was motionless. As Kim watched, the pod shriveled up into a dried up looking pea pod.
She almost missed Rufus' attack, but repeated the same thing, and Rufus-Pod died as well. Kim wiped her brow, and stared down at the two pea pods, and then went to catch up with her brothers.
Later that night....
Kim, Jim, and Tim sat huddled in their vacation house, with only a candle lighting the darkness when Kim saw Shego (whom she'd called on her roam- free cell-phone) stumble into the yard. "Open the gate," she whispered to Tim. He pressed the button, and Shego came in, looking tired and weary.
"So," Kim addressed her, "you defeat them?" "Had to retreat," Shego answered. "Wait," Jim said, his eyes narrowed. "Why aren't you wearing your one green glove and one black glove?" Kim looked, and saw that Shego's outfit had changed. The green and the black had switched sides, and now she was wearing plain black gloves.
"Oh...they ripped my other outfit, and I could only find two black gloves, no greens," Shego explained. Jim retreated into his blanket, still suspicious. "Will you take first watch?" Kim asked. "Surely," Shego said. "Thanks," Kim said, watching her for a moment before closing her eyes.
Shego waited until all three were asleep until she called someone on her cell-phone. "This will be simple," she bragged. "The brats will never know what hit 'em." And she hung up to watch the window outside, a smile gracing her face as she watched the waves pound the shore.
