Kim Possible & Gundam Wing:
Silent Wars
Chapter 10: Overture to the Ending
000
It had been a little over two weeks since Kim and Ron had returned back to Middleton. The people had welcomed the two back home with open arms. As Kim and Ron found out the press had been keeping tabs up on Kim Possible working with the organization Preventer. Apparently so had most of Middleton, so when Kim broke the news that she was coming home to Middleton the whole town wanted to welcome their "teen heroes" back.
During the two weeks back home, Kim and Ron had quite a lot of schoolwork to catch up on. Though the Gundam pilots were able to help them both in getting it done. There were also times when the Gundam pilots even had some run-ins with the Middleton Students. One of the most humorous was that time when Wufei Chang confronted Bonnie Rockwaller. It made Kim and Ron laugh to just think about it.
Both Wufei and Bonnie were so arrogant and stubborn that neither one backed down from each other. They argued over the differences in sexes, who were stronger and better. Wufei argued his chauvinistic ways while Bonnie tried to make some great come backs at Wufei, though she couldn't. All Bonnie could do was utter fragments in that southern California valley girl accent, "like…" They argued so much that to Kim and Ron they looked as if they were married.
In those two weeks, the battle damaged Gundams were repaired. All that could be done was to wait for Shego and the Epyon to show up. As the days passed the tension among the Preventers was growing thicker. Every one of them was nervous about when the Epyon might show up, even though not all of them showed it.
It was a peaceful Friday afternoon, Kim and Ron had already caught up on most of their work. So, life had somewhat returned to a state of normalcy. The only thing that was different was how people treated Ron Stoppable. They treated him with the same kind of respect that Kim got on a regular basis. Not only that but Kim and Ron were a lot closer than ever and it was this closeness that raised a lot of eyebrows in Middleton high, even in Kim's cheerleading squad.
The students of Middleton high knew that Kim and Ron were now boyfriend/girlfriend, but it just seemed unfathomable to the students of Middleton. On the one hand was Kim Possible, a girl who was smart, pretty, athletic and popular. She was the epitome of what any guy in Middleton would have desired. Then on the other hand was Ron Stoppable, a boy that many in the school considered being a world-class looser, but they never saw the kindness underneath his exterior. They also never saw the things that Kim and Ron had gone through together, if they did then they would understand why they were together in the first place.
Kim was practicing with her cheerleading squad, working out a new cheer. She practiced as Ron sat in the bleachers watching them. Kim had brought the new cheer to a close with a great flip and array of acrobatic tricks before landing on her feet. Those acrobatics always amazed the squad, even Bonnie who would always watch with wide eyes and a dropped jaw.
"Great practice, team." Kim clapped
Do-do-de-do
Kim knew that sound, the beeping of her Kimmunicator. She went for it allowing her thumb to press the power button. As she was about to turn it on, Ron came up behind her to find out what was going on.
"What's the sitch, Wade?" Kim asked
"We got trouble." Wade said his face pale with concern
Lightning struck Kim and Ron within their minds, they had a very good notion of what the trouble was and who was behind it. Still, they wanted to confirm it with the words from Wade's lips.
"What is it?" Kim asked wanted desperately to know.
"My scans show something coming this way to Middleton from the North-East." Wade reported, "It doesn't register with any known aircraft's, but it seems to be made out of Gundanium. Not only that but it's coming awfully fast and there's more than one."
"Shego." Ron whispered
"How long 'till they get here?" Kim asked
Wade calculated it through his computers, "If its speed remains constant it'll be here in 45 minutes."
"Which direction is it coming from again?"
"The North East."
The question boggled Ron Stoppable, he tapped Kim Possible on the shoulder. He watched as her smooth flowing hair moved gracefully as she looked at him with questioning eyes. Yet the same beautiful green eyes that Ron fell in love with. He snapped out of it when he wanted to ask his question.
"Why is that important KP?"
"I have a plan." Kim answered with a cat-like smile.

"Here's the plan." Kim said as the meeting started
The meeting was within one of the many rooms within the Middleton Military base. This was the base of operations for Preventer. It was also the place where the Gundams were repaired. Thanks to the amounts of military power Preventer had, the military was more than willing to cooperate. Especially since they had so much credentials flashed in front of them, now they don't ask questions.
"As reported to me by Wade, Shego in the Epyon is coming to Middleton from the North-East. By now she'll arrive within 30 minutes, so we have to hurry. In the Northeast direction is Mt. Middleton. She has to come in that direction to attack Middleton directly. We'll base ourselves on the mountain and engage Shego there. Remember that we must be cautious of weapons fire. If we fire in the wrong direction, we will pose a great danger to Middleton itself. Any questions?"
Duo rose his hand.
"Yes, Duo?" Kim asked
"What if Shego escapes?" He asked with concern
"We can't allow her to escape. She must be stopped at all costs. That's why I request to pilot the Wing Zero."
There was a quiet murmur among the Preventer officers. Why would she ask to take on such a dangerous suit? The Wing Zero, possibly the most advanced and dangerous suit known to man, next to the Epyon.
"Why?" Heero asked, he had to ask since he would have to hand over the cockpit to Kim if this mission is approved. It did annoy him to think that this girl would pilot it.
Kim's answer was more than satisfactory, "The Epyon and the Wing Zero are nearly alike, I have to fight Shego on her level."
Lady Une made the final choice, "I see no reason to stop this mission. Proceed, but we must hurry."

ETA: 10 minute(s) 50 second(s)
The tensions among the Gundams was thick, its mixture of confidence and doubt swirled like cigarette smoke in a clean air room. On the slops of Mt. Middleton they waited for this battle to start. All eight Gundams lay on the mountain facing the Northeast like watchers in a watchtower. Though the only difference in this battle was the switch between Kim and Heero.
Kim was sitting in a very dangerous mobile suit and to her it felt like getting into a very new roller coaster. The smell of new plastic, metal and cloth coupled with the anticipation of what the suit could put her though. It was truly capped by what Heero Yuy had told her before she got in the cockpit.
"Kim." Heero told her, "be careful with that cockpit system, don't loose yourself in it."
Kim tried to figure out what Heero meant by that, but what he said was too cryptic to Kim. She simply allowed the advice to slip.
ETA: 1 minute(s)
In the distance Kim saw what looked like a cluster of clouds. Yet this cluster looked too dark against the white fluffy clouds that passed over head. It seemed out of the ordinary, so much so that Kim zoomed in thanks to the Gundam zoom lenses. She then saw it, the Gundam Epyon, blazing through the sky in its odd shaped bird mode followed by a small army of mobile dolls.
"Here they come." Kim whispered
"Target confirmed." Heero stated, "Tactics level cleared. Commence attack!"
ETA: 00 minute(s) 00 second(s)
The attack commenced, the Gundams blasted towards the mobile dolls. Kim in the Wing Zero had the Epyon in her sights. She bolted to the Gundam Epyon drawing out its beam saber and the Epyon bringing out its beam sword.
BANG! CLASH! BANG! CLASH!
The two fought like medieval knights, fighting over who controlled the land. Except now, Kim was fighting for so much because this fight was nothing like anything else she had fought before. In her mind she had flashed of the things that meant so much to her. Her home which had always been there since she was just a child. She fought for her family who gave such great love, warmth and such wonderful memories to be cherished for all her life. Her friends, the ones who supported her through her darkest of hours, but most of all she fought for Ron the one that had always been there and the one she had the greatest of feelings for. This time she couldn't allow Shego to escape, if she did she would follow her even into Hell itself to kill her.
Being careful of weapons fire, Kim fired her Vulcan cannons while her back was to Middleton. Still, the Epyon dodged the weapons fire.
"You can't win, Kimmie!" Shego laughed, "I've already beaten you once in Antarctica and I can do it again! This Epyon is the true ultimate weapon!"
Shego laughed in such a way that made Kim shiver right down her spine, yet the laugh was so annoying. It was the same kind of laugh that Shego used when she used to taunt Kim before on her past missions. That laugh enraged Kim so much that she wanted nothing more than to pound the living hell out of Shego.
When the battle intensified and that laughing of Shego's grew more and more irritating Kim could feel the rage swell within her face and fists. She remembered something like this when she was just a little child dealing with the neighborhood bullies that she and Ron had to deal with. Back then, Kim wasn't as strong as she was when she got into High School. Yet, she had dealt with so much from the bullies that she couldn't take anymore. She remembered looking into the bullies' face as he taunted both her and Ron. Something then snapped inside Kim and she let go. She was all over the bully like a cat sharpening its claws on a new seat. As she sat on the bullies' chest she pounded his face in left and right. She beat him so much that the bully left the fight with his nose broken in three different places as well as two black eyes. From that day on no one dared to mess with Kim Possible.
Kim was feeling the same thing bubbling within her like a stew about to boil over as she fought Shego. As that rage began to come to the surface there was a slight beeping noise within the cockpit of the Wing Zero. It started low and soft like that of a beeper with its volume on the first notch.
Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep
As Kim continued to fight Shego and growing with every anger and frustration so too did that beeping. It grew louder and louder as well as faster like the pulse of Kim's own heart as she fought. Both the beating of her heart and that sound moved in the same speed and intensity as if they were synchronized with each other. They grew faster and faster within the cockpit and all around the chair that Kim sat upon was a soft yellow. It was like the rising sun coming over the mountains with the first amounts of daylight for a valley.
Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep
The imaged within the cockpit system grew faster and faster with Kim's heart and that dreadful sound. She saw images of the Epyon coming at her as if the Wing Zero itself was thinking of how to fight the monster called Epyon. As it did Kim could barely feel her own body, yet she was still fighting. It was like an out-of-body-experience, she was able to know that she was moving but she couldn't feel it in her muscles.
At last the two Gundam giants landed on the snowy slopes of Mt. Middleton. The two suits stood frozen, then they began to exhaust steam from the vents in their heads. After exhausting the steam like two over worked trains the two mighty mobile suits fell over like crumbling statues.
But the fight wasn't over.
The cockpits of the Wing Zero and the Epyon opened and out came the battle ready Shego and Kim Possible. The two were dashing to each other in the snow of Mt. Middleton up to their ankles. They wanted nothing more than to beat the living hell out of each other. Yet, Shego didn't have the green flames coming from her hands, as she usually did when fighting Kim. Either she didn't have the energy to do it or she didn't want to.
The two fist-fought, Kim throwing the first punch, which sent Shego flying backwards. She landed on her ass feeling the dull thud on her ass and feeling something dripping from her lip. She brought her fist up to her lip and brushed it and found she was bleeding. She looked into the snow between her and Kim and found it stained red in one place. Shego grew furious as she got back to her feet and charged at Kim Possible. She slammed her fist into Kim's gut, which shoved all the wind out of Kim's lungs. Kim retaliated by giving Shego a punch to the other side of her face.
Shego felt both of her cheeks swelling as her face landed against the cold snow it felt like a fire was being put out on her face. She still wanted to finish the fight; she got back up and continued to fight.
They fought as the soft explosions in the distance continued. The Gundams fighting the mobile dolls almost sounded like a thunderstorm rolling in over the mountains as Shego fought Kim Possible. The two had fought each other so much that they had bruised cheeks, at least one black eye and they were bleeding from their cracked lips. They had bled so much that the snow under their feet looked like a piece of sloppy modern art.
Finally, Shego had knocked Kim Possible down to the ground. She turned her back and fell to her knees in the snow.
"I told you that you can't win, Kimmie." Shego smiled, yet her smile looked odd from her bruised cheeks and bleeding lips. "After all those times you beat me, I finally win."
BAM!
Shego felt something slamming into her back, it wrapped arms round her neck. She knew that it had to be Kim Possible and she had her in a headlock. If Kim were a real killer like Shego was, then Kim would have killed her by now. Suddenly a realization came to Shego, it made her laugh to think about it.
"You can't kill me, Kimmie." Shego laughed, "You're too virtuous, soft and weak. That's why I was able to get away, you don't have the guts."
Shego was right, Kim realized that, but all those times in the past, Kim was a different person. She was pure and innocent, she certainly couldn't kill another human being, but that was then, it was a different moment as she had her arms around Shego's neck. Kim knew she had no choice as she thought about her home, her friends, her family, and Ron.
"I beg to differ, Shego." Kim said as she moved into position, "This time you will not come back."
Kim closed her eyes.
CRACK!
Kim opened her eyes and found her hands around Shego's face, and her head was twisted in such an angle that no living human could do it. Kim Possible had snapped Shego's neck; her enemy that she fought so many times was dead.
Kim fell back into the snows of Mt. Middleton and fell into the darkness. As she fell, everything looked so much more beautiful than ever before. The snow-capped mountain and the blue skies specked with the fluffy white clouds that carelessly drifted overhead. It was a great day.

The Silent War was over; Kim Possible had won the war for all the people who were dear to her. After the battle was over she had slept for days and when she woke up she found herself in the Middleton Hospital, as well as her love and partner Ron Stoppable at the bedside.
It turned out that the Gundam Epyon that which had caused so much trouble was destroyed. Trieze Kushrinada who designed it had destroyed the plans for it. This was a precautionary measure to make sure that no one else could build such a monstrous machine.
After Kim woke up in the hospital she not only found Ron but her room was filled with flowers offering "get well soon" and "best wishes" to Kim. Spending a few more days in the hospital, Kim recovered. She as well as Ron and all of Preventer were hailed as heroes. Given medals for honor, service above and beyond the call of duty, and bravery. Last of all, Kim Possible and Ron stopple were given their pay from Preventer. Both got a lump sum of ten million dollars each. Knowing each other Kim knew that Ron would probably spend his money on video games, wrestling and Buenos Nacho. Ron also knew that Kim would most definitely spend her money at Club Banana.
Yet, the money didn't matter that much to them. They got a very precious thing out of this war. They had gotten love from each other, with that in each other's arms nothing else mattered.
Now all they could do is be with each other hand look to the future with endless possibilities. All of this was because of five very special boys and their machines called the Gundams. They had brought the lovely and fierce Kim Possible and the humorous and kind Ron Stoppable together for as long as they would love each other.
The End.
