"So you realize this is a trap right?"
"I don't recall making any of you come Stoppable," as Agent Duu kept his eyes on the sky trying to ignore the blond boy, once more clad in his mission gear his armor like the others returned to the weapons,. He'd been standing behind Agent Duu's chair trying to under mine his plans since take off several hours ago. "I'm a trained Global Justice agent, I have fully studied Gemini and WEE's tactics I know what to expect, I can succeed if I strike quickly and take Gemini before things get out of hand."
"Two problems, one your not factoring the other Sentinels and two what makes you think he doesn't know we're back here?"
"This craft is the most advance aeronautic vehicle in existence equipped with every stealth device known to man, it's impossible to track. As for the others I've read all the reports on them Global Justice has, which is to say every report about them ever made, and with the possible exception of Mr. Oaks, those three are not a problem. And even if they are possessed as you claim, the spirits are from a archaic time who couldn't possibly pose a real threat to someone with my training and experience."
"Yeah I'll make sure that's engraved on your tombstone," as Ron rolled his eyes, "have you ever heard the term over estimating yourself?"
"Yes, but only from those who aren't at my level."
Turning, "and on that note I bid you farewell," as Ron went back to the cabin with Kim, Rufus and a still sleeping Zita. Ron lingered near Zita for a few seconds watching her blanket slowly rise and fall as she quietly slept, before taking his seat near Kim who was holding the sword of Kells.
Kim finally leaned over and whispered, "so how bad is it," looking where Ron had come from.
In an equaly hushed tone to keep from waking Zita, "he's so blinded by his own ego I'm surprised he can see," shaking his head, "this day is going to get ugly before it gets better."
"Sound like all our other adventures."
"Funny," leaning back and crossing his arms. After a few minutes he watched her slowly begin stroking the sword, and it didn't take him to long to put the pieces together. Reaching out he stopped her hand covering it in his.
"Four down one to go," she said softly looking at the sword, "are you going to need me when he or she shows up?"
"Of course, partners remember," doing his best to smile
"I know, but your not going to need me on the front lines soon, I watched you fight those guys today, pretty soon you'll be better than me, and I'm not sure what else I can do."
"You could do research or…"
"Ya right, this is me we're talking about I need to be on the front lines, remember I'm a glory hound."
"I never said that, and I thought..," Kim covered his mouth silencing him.
Softly grinning, "it was a joke."
"Right right," a pale blush on his face
"I guess we'll just cross that bridge when we come to it."
Ron couldn't suppress a grin, "well you can always help me keep Bonnie in line, you can smack her around a little."
"While that is a life long dream I don't think so, the less Bonnie in my life the better."
"Well just trying to help," then mouthing the words, "how's Wade doing?"
Also mouthing the words, "he should be able to gain control of the plane soon if we need him to."
"Good, I think we're going to need an ace up our sleeves."
Glancing out the window, once more using his voice, "so do you have any idea where this base is?"
"Nadda KP, Bat's just flying, and Duu's got no idea where we're going to end up."
"As long as it's not that base in the middle of the ocean."
"that's a little overly cliché isn't it," Zita whimpered from the other side of the cabin, slowly righting herself rubbing the her eyes.
"Welcome back to the land of the living," Ron said with a small smile.
"How long have I been out."
"A few hours, looks like you needed it," Kim commented.
"I'm not in shape for these kinds of adventures. So he really have a base in the ocean?"
"Yep, just like in all the spy movies, it could even submerged," Kim told her while leaning the sword against her seat.
"You'd think there'd be a rule against being a walking cliché some where in the super villain union."
With out missing a beat Ron piped in, "There is but they ignore it, hell they only sign up for the dental and health plan."
Zita just looked at Kim, "you think we could thow him out of the plane?"
Before Kim could answer she heard the soft click of the intercom turning on .
"Attention, it appears Gemini is landing, we'll be following suit shortly, welcome to Tasmania."
"Of course home of the two legged tornados, perfect place for Duu."
Kim couldn't help but raise an eye brow, "you know they only look like that in the cartoons, right Ron?"
"Um….. Sure," his growing a brighter shade of red
------------------------------
"Is everything prepared," Lightning Bat demanded from the closest agent.
"Yes sir, the first line of defense is ready as are waves two and three, and your guests are preparing for the final confrontation, but I doubt they'll need it, Global Justice will be stopped long before then Sir."
"Good, for your sake they had better be," forcing past the man. Lightning Bat had only received bits of what Ice Lord was planning, he knew it involved resurrecting Tyrune and an alliance with Monkey Fist but little else.
'What are you planning sister, or is this your way of punishing me for acting without your consent?'
--------------------------
"Just for the record that's ten guards, two gun turrets, and one not so undetectable jet, " Ron said looking at Duu.
"A minor inconvenience I can still handle the situation, but if you believe you need to stay here where it's safe I understand."
Kim was dumbfounded, "explain to me again why your still alive, let alone one of the top agents Global Justice has?"
"I could try but you'd never understand, now you can stay or follow, but I'm capturing Gemini."
Getting to her feet, Kim nodded, Ron, Rufus and Zita right behind her.
Perched on his masters shoulder Rufus stretched his hind legs, "Dragon, Pyre, Fly."
"Not unless we need you Rufus," as Ron pulled out his ax, "besides what if the base has low ceilings?"
A growl erupted from Rufus' throat as the Pyre part of Rufus' mind came to the surface eager for battle, old instincts calling to him.
"And on that note I'm getting fire proof, Forest Before Me"
"Water Around Me"
"Air Above Me"
Picking Rufus off Ron's shoulder and stroking his head Kim looked down at the dragon/mole rat, "do you think the knight of wood burns my little flame thrower?"
"Looks like someone is channeling an evil master mind, now all we need to do is shave your head and you'll be perfect."
"Can it Zita, it's time to rock, twin timber ax's," as Ron prepared for battle.
"You know something," as Kim placed the mole rat on her shoulder, "that should be Bonnies line," earning a groan from Ron.
"Hey, I do the bad one lines on this team and don't forget it," a grin a Ron's lips, grateful to the girls and Rufus loosen up and laugh
"I'm leaving now, you four can do whatever you want," as the Air Knight rolled his eyes and started to the compound the others following a few steps behind.
They knew what to do when they were in ranger as the three knights fired their weapons simultaneously, the wind from the crossbow leveling the guards on foot while Ron and Zita's weapons took out gun turrets after a few shots, allowing the five to charge down and take the remaining guards out of the fight that Duu's gust hadn't knocked out.
"Well that was easier than expected," Duu said brushing his hands together and approached the compound entrance.
"Why the hell did you say that," Zita hissed, "you never say that."
"Why, what could possibly go wrong ," he scoffed as he opened the door and was greeted by the sight of fifty guards, all of whom seemed to be seemed to be using muscle enhancing rings.
"And that is why you never say these things," Zita hissed.
------------------
"Yeah lay the smack down on him."
"Come one you pansy go for the face, the face you idiot not the… never mind."
"Yeah tear that punks throat out and eat it."
"Rock Wolf, Sea Serpent enough," forcing the pair's eyes from the monitors, "Lightning Bat's soldiers are merely acting as canon fodder, there's little chance they will do anything but delay the knights arrival, we need to be ready for there arrival," Ice growled at here minions.
"Yes what is the plan Ice, how exactly will we bring Tyrune back, we posses the armor and the means to activate it but not the host, or has that changed," Lightning Bat eyed his sister, uncomfortable with being in the dark as to the plan.
"That has changed," Fisk spoke emerging from the shadows.
""Then everything is prepared Fisk?" Ice asked her associate warily, not trusting the mutant in the slightest.
Handing her a remote, "push the button and the knights die, just keep your beast away from Stoppable."
Gripping the remote as if it where a delicate treasure a sinister smile on her dark lips, "I remember our deal Fisk, the Forest Knight dies by your hand alone as we agreed."
"Good, I know how things can get carried away in the heat of the moment," a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
-----------------
"Well that wasn't…."
Duu didn't finish his thought as Zita pushed her Trident into his back, "Don't even think about it."
"I can't believe you think I somehow caused that, that is the most childish thing I have ever heard."
"No Duu," Kim coming up behind him wiping a bit of her own blood from her jaw, Rufus perched on her shoulder, "that's called not tempting fate, that's something you have a hard time avoiding."
"Fate is merely what the uniformed call coincidence."
"Fine," Ron growled cleaning his ax with a piece of WEE uniform, "don't temp potently lethal coincidence." Looking at the others, "now lets get going before they can mount another offensive, the sooner this is suicide run is over with the better."
"Now see here," as Duu grabbed Ron's arm threateningly, only to be silenced by the look on Ron's face, and backed away in caution.
"We've come to far to turn back, so lets see if our luck holds," Ron's words stirring Zita's confidence and not for the first time surprising Kim with their presence.
It didn't take long for the five to come to a large set of ominous metal doors.
"I don't suppose that would be the stuffed animal vault," Zita joked nervously looking at the door, her every instinct screaming run, having seen way to many doors like those before her in video games, almost all of them having level bosses or equally dangerous monsters behind them.
"If it is I'll kiss you on the mouth," Kim coughed hoping the males of the group didn't here.
"Well lets go introduce the blow hard to the Sentinels," Ron prepared to kick the door open, only to have it mechanically swing open as his foot should have hit causing him to lose his balance and land face first on the ground."
"Very heroic Stoppable," as Monkey Fist started laughing uncontrollably.
"Great like we needed any more surprises," Kim hissed, recognizing the mutants voice before she spotted him.
"I expected you earlier Kimmie," as Ice uncrossed her arms and moved to the center of the room pulling her sword from it's sheath, "I take it Mr. Duu, the newly crowned Knight of Air slowed you down. I do recall you naming him the greatest hindrance you've ever worked, well next to Ronnie there."
"Not gunna work ice queen," Ron growled getting to his feet, "and when did you become a lap dog Fisk?"
"I didn't, he did," using his foot to point at Rock Wolf, making the large Sentinel emit something between a chuckle and a growl. "On your word Ice."
"Kill them," Ice growled, slashing her sword, freezing the water vapor in the air sending shards of razor sharp ice at the Knights.
Will dove left as Zita went right leaving Ron and Kim in the middle with Rufus launching a jet of flame at the ice, melting most of it, resulting in the three being hit with cool water and small bits of ice, causing annoyance rather than injury.
Rock Wolf leapt toward the Air Knight a bit disappointed he'd have to wait a day or two to eviscerate the female masquerading as the Earth Knight. He only missed Duu by a matter of inches as the trained agent avoided the obvious attack, forcing him to imbed his claw in the metal floor.
"And here I expected a challenge," Duu's voice dripping with arrogance as he aimed his crossbow, only to be answered by twin beams of golden energy fired from the rock sentinels eyes, causing the white clad boy to skid across the ground as Wolf pulled his weapon from the ground leaving three large holes in the metal.
"I do love the hosts residual magic," his voice a feral growl as he charged towards the Air Knight enjoying what promised to be a long tenderizing process, almost salivating at what would be the culmination of the fight, provided the damn dragon didn't get to have all the fun.
-----------------
Fisk enjoyed the sight and sound of the two tridents clashing, it was refreshing to fight someone with an air of innocence. The way the Water Knight moved it was obvious she lacked the seasoning a true warrior needed, yet she displayed skill beyond here years.
'Interesting, she's using a bastardized form of Monkey Kung Fu, I might have to let Stoppable live a little longer than I planed and see if he's taught anyone else'
He feigned back letting her press the attack waiting for the moment to strike. It came as she thrust the trident at his face, rather than deflect the strike he inter locked the blades with his own lotus blade formed trident and grabbed her leg with his foot pulling it out from under her bringing the teenager to the ground.
"You have so much to learn," the monkey master chided as he shifted the butt of his trident into a blade intent on puncturing her left lung, only to be answered by a jet of flame from a scurrying Rufus, a flame that did little as it was deflected by the Lotus Blade assuming a shield form protecting the ape man, but causing him to release Zita's foot, as she thrust her free leg up between his outstretched legs, forcing an inhuman scream from the ninja as her strike hit home, causing him to drop to his knees his face contorted in pain, all thought temporarily suspended in his mind.
As Zita pulled herself free and was almost felt guilty for using such a cheap move, but didn't have time to consider it to deeply as Sea Serpent entered her sight, a smile on her face that let the Water Knight know she was far from getting a moments rest.
-------------------
Darting here and there Rufus was in a fight with himself, the Mole Rat side wanted to help with small acts biting, moving something, finding a way to disarm the sentinels, causing distractions with his fire, all things the Pyre side of his mind abhorred. The dragon side wanted to lay waste to the sentinels, to pick them up and slam them into the nearest hard surface till they stopped moving, something he couldn't do in the pathetic form he was trapped in.
----------------------------
Kim landed from the hand spring just in time to the see the ground where she had been standing decimated by missile fire.
"You can't keep avoiding me forever Ms. Possible, sooner or later you will have to accept the inevitable and die, so I can move on and deal with more important matters, like young William."
"Well I'm so sorry I'm wasting your precious time, I'll try and speed my death up for you."
"Thank you," throwing his boomerang, and action Kim blocked with her sword, "now what happened to cooperating."
"I said I'd hurry up not make it easy on you," pulling out her grappling hook and firing watching as the hook ricocheted off the ground and between Lightning Bat's legs, a quick flip of the switch caused the cord to recoil catching Bat's foot and pulling it out from under him bringing him to the ground.
A soft click from her weapon told Kim it was ready to fire again, storing it on her belt, and went one pouch over pulling out her lip stick and fired covering Bat's cybernetic hand in pink goo. Before turning deciding to give Will a hand with Rock Wolf.
-----------------
Ron darted back, his face shining due to the lights catching the layer of frost on his face, a gift from Ice as she froze his sweat.
"Your slowing down Ronnie, maybe you'd like to rest and have a hot Naco and a cold drink," a dark smile playing on Ice's stolen lips.
Ron would have replied but he needed his breath, and he didn't want to give her the pleasure of hearing his words slurred from his numb face. Instead he replied by firing directly at her face a shot that was easily deflected by her sword, but left her open. The moment he fired he went in low repositioned the unfired ax so the butt now rested on his arm guard and slashed the armor on her stomach, lingering mid strike to fire his ax crumpling her body as she flew a few feet in the air before sliding on her armored rear. Ron hoped he was smiling, but doubted his face had changed expressions.
"Enough of these games," Ice roared the indignity of the attack speeding up her time table as she pulled out the remote Fisk had given her. A quick glance to where the Knight and Sentinel of Water where let her know Zita was unarmed, her trident several feet away, and pushed the first of two buttons temporarily activating the sprinklers. After a brief moment the stopped and Ice touched her sword on the ground coving the Knights, Kim, Rufus and Lightning Bat in a thin but strong layer of ice.
"Your control is amazing Ice Lord," Rock Wolf commented as he shook himself dry, covering Sea Serpent in is his spray.
"Let us end this," Ice growled trying desperately to avoid rubbing her sore posterior, as she pushed the other button the remote causing the ice to crack around one of the walls as it split open to reveal a base that pushed outward. Sitting on it was the armor of Tyrune, a chain entering through one of the holes, something whimpering with in it, it's voice made loader as it reverberated off the smooth interior of the armor.
A quick glance on Ice's part told her Fisk was not moving towards the platform, but instead to the Knight of the Forest his sword now in the form of a large double bladed battle ax, "Full fill your end of the agreement Fisk," she warned.
"I will not waste this opportunity," a scowl on his face, while he would have preferred kill Stoppable in battle, he knew enough to know such pride could be costly.
A simple glance from Ice and golden energy once more fired from Rock Wolfs eyes landing where Fisk's foot was about to come to rest.
"Maybe I didn't make myself clear," she growled, "you will release Tyrune now, or you will not get your killing blow," as she nodded her head causing Sea Serpent to fire an arc from her whip that nearly struck Ron.
Fisk turned his face in a primal sneer, "tread lightly, I will only be pushed so far," as he approached the armor his face growing more sadistic as he saw his target.
"I suppose your wondering why your restrained as well brother," Ice laughed knowing full well Lightning Bat could hear her, "I know how you feel about the sad excuse for a creature, and knowing how your host has influenced you I can't have you interfering," as she began laughing uncontrollably.
That was all the incentive Monkey Fist needed as he shifted the sword to insure the bade hit its mark splitting the animal in half with one blow as he had with the Mole Rat, as he removed the sword he wiped the blood still on the blade on the armor for good measure.
"Now to see if the magic's I placed on the armor will speed up the transformation," sheathing her sword, she knew full well the ice prisons wouldn't hold them much longer but refreezing them seemed beneath her.
"Something's happening," Rock Wolf called watching as the armor took on a black glow and began to contract on the host body.
That was all it took to bring a smile to Ice's face, as she made the ice prisons shatter freeing her captives, but knowing full well the near hypothermia would keep them from moving for a few more minutes, knowing full well not even their armor could protects them from those temperatures, Kim alone having a prison that would not kill a normal person, but she too would be out of it for a few minutes.
Lighting Bat merely glared at his sister as the armor stopped it's shrinking reveling the now black head of the host. A thousand ideas of how to make his treacherous sister pay entered his mind as he saw his hosts, and his own, beloved pet wearing the armor of the dragon, bits of chain at his side, somehow coming off in the transformation.
"I think Pepe looks better this way don't you," A sinister smirk on Ices, face as she looked at Bat, "brother, but I think he'd look even better like this," pulling the gray hilted dagger from her belt, black light rising from the blade. "Arise Tyrune dragon of Tamra, once more take flight and burn the Knights to the ground."
Pepe/Tyrune softly glowed a black/gray light as he began to grow, his neck becomes disproportionately long, his bock expanding his skin becoming hard as scales formed looking more like plate after plate of over lapping armor. Bones shifted as he reared off his front paws all the weight on his back ones that where growing larger silver armor on his legs along with dark blue armor on his feet that left his toes exposed that sported long silver claws. Armor also grew on his hips at first silver circles then silver spikes sprouted from them forming seven spikes arcing down over his bare upper legs and down to leg armor. His tail lengthened a large silver metal blade forming at the tip, followed by wings ripped from his shoulders, the inner membrane a striking orange while the back ws the same black as the rest of his body. His front legs where perhaps the most strike transformation as bones shifter, allowing countless new ones to grow as well as organs as each of his paws formed a head. Each head had a relatively short muzzle the top of each head had over lapping silver plates of scales incasing two red eyes the upper mouth back to the small fin like ears were black, while the lower jaw were silver that ran on and down his necks. The chest armor was predominantly black but silver spikes that mocked the appearance of ribs, where each neck met the body the armor indented and wrapped around it, protecting it, small orange fins protruding from each side of the armor of each of the new necks.
Zita was the first of the Knights to regain the full use of her body, and pulled her dragon dagger, knowing full well they were going to need help as the blade began to glow transforming Rufus into fire dragon body, bringing a savage grin to the red dragon, who relished the chance to continue his battle with his old enemy, but first igniting a few small fires to warm the Knights.
"Long time," Pyre growled, stretching his claws only to be answered by three balls of blue flame, one from each of Tyrune's heads, each connecting with the red dragons body.
"Excellent, kill him my beast, we'll deal with the knights," as Ice and the other two sentinels moved towards the Knights as the black dragon charged Pyre knocking him into a wall away from the Knights, his left head biting the red dragons neck.
Even with Pyre busy his legacy could be felt, thanks to his fires the Knights and Kim were back on their feet, ready for the Sentinels and Fisk, but regrettably Lightning Bat was also on his feet.
Rock Wolf was the first into the fray, cutting Ron off from the others
"I don't suppose we could talk this over?" Ron asked getting out of the considerable reach of the mystic canine.
Grinning, "this is a last man standing match meat, only one leaves the ring," darting in with speed that defied his size upper cutting Ron with his unclawed hand sending the smaller male into the air. Luckily his armor took the brunt of the near fatal blow and he was able to control his fall and land on his feet.
The brief aerial view had also given him an idea, firing his ax's at the Rock Sentinel when he hit the ground, Wolf responded as he hoped, blocking the beams with his arm guard and claw negating his vision, allowing Ron to get a running start and jump, fully intent on doing a hand spring off the large furry fists and planting his feet onto Wolfs furry muzzle bringing him down into a fire started by one of Tyrune's stray blasts. A plan that fell apart as Rock Wolf shifted his arm and brought the full force of his fore arm and elbow into Ron's ribs, and sending the blond boy flying.
Running his fingers along his long furry ears, "you forget about these jabroni," flexing one of his arms as he, "they go great with the biggest pythons this planet has ever seen."
If Rock Wolf said anything else it is was drowned out as Tyrune slid between them his right head roaring deafening the Rock Sentinel, while his center head released a jet of blue flame that was countered by Pyre's red-orange flame, as the Fire Dragon of Dare swatted the black dragon of Tamera across the left neck with his claws sending him from between the Ron and Rock Wolf.
By the time the dragon were out of the way Ron was ready, a tandem ax blast caught Rock Wolf across the knees of his small legs, the shots enough weren't able to stop him, but Ron hoped it would be enough to slow him down.
"They don't pay me enough for this," Ron gasped sprinted back in back toward what he hoped was a hurt Rock Wolf.
----------------------------------
Zita moved back avoiding the sword slash, not wanting to press the attack on someone she went to school with, not that Ice was leaving her much choice.
'If this were another time, another place, and I wasn't involved this might be funny, why the hell am I fighting Monique, I'm water she's ice, she freezes my element, this is in no way fair,' she mused to herself as she dodged the next strike.
"SISTER," Lightning Bat roared as a pair of missiles shot between the two mystically powered teenagers, "we have something to discuss."
"Now is not the time Lightning Bat," the frost eyed sentinel hissed
""Yes now, you endangered my dog," throwing his boomerang at Zita causing her to retreat further back.
"You mean your host's dog"
"I mean my dog, you endangered him with out my consent," the look in his eye's told the girls he was beyond reasoning.
'The contamination is worse than I feared, the host is warping his mind,' fear for her plans rising in Ice's mind. "We'll discuses this later Bat," the sheen of sweat on his brow and the slight foaming of his mouth was enough for Ice to freeze and stop her brother till she could deal with him at a more opportune time. Cutting the air with her sword a blast of arctic white air shot towards him, only to enveloped to a blue flame from Tyrune's center head negating it.
The fire dragon didn't waste the opening grabbing the other two black heads and pulled them away from the center neck and darted his head in biting the silver streak, only to be answered by Tyrune's right leg being thrust into his abdomen, his long silver claws brushing Pyres armor, pushing the fire dragon off him, but not with out losing a piece of his neck to the red dragon.
Choosing not to waste her brothers momentary blindness Ice choose to remove herself from his vision, and finish her business with Kim.
-----------------------
"Congratulations madam, you've just made me reconsider my policy on striking women," Will panted as he threw an unsuccessful haymaker as Sea Serpent who simply sidestepped the GJ agent and pushed him on the back as his past making him fall on his face and his grip on the whirlwind crossbow to falter as it slid across the battle field.
"I thought you suits were suppose to be the best of the best, I've seen better studs falling off logs, well bridges anyway, and the occasional hot air balloon."
Will had had enough turning so he was laying on his back his hand on his stop watch firing the twin cords of his stopwatch at the Water Sentinel, empting his charge into her when cords made contact, to little avail only causing her to stagger back a few steps. It was enough though allowing him to get to his feet, all thoughts of the crossbow gone intent on doing this the way he had been trained to by Global Justice, taking a defensive posture.
A twisted smile on her lips, "little boy has some teeth, nice to know," as she unleashed a diagonal blue-black energy wave from her whip. Shifting his body jumped around the wave landing with a shoulder role, covering the ground between the two delivering two quick upper cuts to her abdomen from a crouching position, before springing up planting a knee in the same spot his hands on her shoulder to help add force to the blow.
For the briefest moment he thought he had her then he felt something on his ankles, the shock of her pulling his ankles out from under him with her whip caused him to let her go as he hit the ground with his back and was further insulted as she as she kicked him across the face followed by lash of her whip firing her energy when it connected, only to jump back rather than continuing pressing the attack.
The reason why appeared soon enough when Will's vision returned and was filled with a large red tail, by sheer instinct he was able crawl away from it as Pyre slid past Tyrune a few steps behind, a trickle of blood on the mouth of the right head, while the left head's maw was covered in the crimson liquid.
For a moment he wondered what next to do as he got to his feet when he noticed the faint gray against the ebony and silver of the dragon's neck, and was shocked by the sheer lunacy of what he saw as Sea Serpent came flying around Tyrune's back using her whip like it was a vine in a Tarzan imitation landing both feet in his face. The impact knocked him across the ground right where his crossbow lay.
------------------------------
A small spark lept from the blades as they connected
"You've been holding out on me Monkey Fist," Kim hissed between the 'x' the blades between them made.
"As have you Possible," the Ape man growled still in a foul mode from missing his chance to kill Stoppable, and Water Knights cheap attack, choosing to take his anger out on the red head making the Lotus blade shift a second bade grow from the hilt. Pulling the main blade towards him he tried to force the new blade in to Kim's unguarded ribs, Kim was barley able to catch the blade pulling her elbow down, in the process causing the Sword of Kell's to become with the ground, allowing her to bring the hilt across Fisk's face before jumping back.
Only after moving back did she wince, despite her counter Fisk's blade had still made contact leaving a shallow, by bloody, gash in her side.
'There goes half my wardrobe for a while,' she thought bitterly as she readied herself for Fisk's next attack
She wasn't disappointed as Fisk charged her with a spear of his own twisted imagination, reversing grip on the sword Kim managed to counter the strike moving him to her side allowing her to grab her sword with her other hand and bring the hilt down on his head as he passed propelled by his own momentum to the ground unconscious by the precise strike.
"That's for the chewing out my parents are going to give me when I get home," her hand on her wound, once more wincing.
She didn't have time to celebrate as she heard clapping , "I was hoping we could continue what we started in the gym," Ice growled pulling her sword.
"That's makes two of us parasite," as Kim readied the Sword of Kells, doing her best to put the wound from her mind.
"Aren't we a little old for name calling," as Ice leapt as Kim intent on slicing through Kim's right shoulder, a blow that was caught by Kim as she deflected it with her own sword.
"It's not name calling if it's true," panting, her anger at Fisk now directed at the creature that had stolen her friends body.
"Oh did the monkey man wipe you out Kimmie," her voice mocking, "honestly I don't know what possessed you to think you could possibly content with me," a sneer on her lips as she thrust at Kim's wounded side causing the red head to move back on the defensive. "Oh I forgot anything's possible for a Possible, you know that's bull shit don't you, your just a scared little girl playing at being a hero. Oh you might have survived fools like Drakken but when faced with a real foe you crack like cheap steel."
A quick feint by Ice and Kim let down her guard allowing Ice land a round kick on Kim's wound, causing a hiss of pain to escape the red heads lips as she dropped to the ground on her hands a knees.
"You shatter, and people like Stoppable get stronger, funny isn't it," as she stood over Kim a large grin on her face, "if I didn't know how much pain killing you would bring the Forest Knight I might have let you live, sucks to be you." Aimed her sword over Kim's back intent on severing her spine, "how does it feel to know the only value your life has it what Ronnie will give it," thrusting her sword down.
Without thinking Kim dropped and rolled and caught Ice's strike in the center of her blade, one hand on the hilt the other on the blade, "pretty good actually," pushing with her foot to spin her body, her free leg dropping Ice a moment after contact.
It only took a few moments for the two to get back on their feet, Kim did her best to look confident but she could feel what was left of her stamina and strengths slipping away her arms barley able to hold the sword, something Ice could tell with a glance.
'It ends,' as Ice lunged one hand sheathed her sword the other grabbing the Sword of Kells intent on ripping it for her hands, only to be surprised as Kim somehow kept her grip on the blade. "Even if you survive the fight, he'll never bring you with him again, face it Kimmie Ron's the future, he now controls your fate, your days in the lime light are over. He's going to seal you away, saying its for your own protection, but the truth is he'll be superior to you in everyway, he'll own you, he'll be your master and make you his bitc…."
Before Ice could finish fire ignited between the two throwing the pair back as Pyre roared, fire balls landing all around them, Tyrune on the red dragons back his left and right heads were coiling around his body like snakes, the center biting the back of the red dragons neck near his head.
Enraged the red dragon reached up and grabbed the beast between the necks slung Tyrune forward crushing the black dragons wings under him, causing the three heads to release bright blue jets of flame at the ceiling causing it to burn, like much of the room.
However after a few moment the new ceiling fire erupted in an explosion that nearly deafened the warriors, halting the fight.
"What's up there," Duu asked his crossbow aimed at Sea Serpent
"THE FUEL," Lightning Bat roar
"As in PLANE!" Zita yelled
"PLANE, ROCKET, CAR, SUBMARINE, it's all up there," as alarm sirens began sounding and flashing.
By the time the first alarm went off Ron was at Kim's side, picking up the near exhausted red head the Sword of Kell's still in her hand, a weak smile on her lips, "hey partner, we winning?" her voice almost inaudible as she slipped into unconsciousness.
"Pyre I need you," Ron's words bring the red dragon to his side, all thought of Tyrune gone from his mind. Placing Kim in his large red hands, "It's time to go," turning to Duu and Zita, "time to move it you two," glad to see the Sentinels and Fisk were also retreating, not wanting to be trapped in what soon promised to be an inferno.
-----------------------------
"Hey," were the first words Kim heard when she woke up in the Global Justice aircraft.
"Hey yourself," smiling at her partner, "we win?"
"We're alive that count?" a weak smile on his lips as he squeezed her hand, "we patched you up, Duu doesn't think you'll have a scar."
"Good, how's Rufus," looking around not seeing anyone else in the room, "he looked pretty beat up last time I saw him."
"With Zita licking his wounds, he says dragons heal fast, so I'm just taking him at his word," pausing for a moment, "how you doing?"
"I don't think I've ever hurt this much after a mission, but I'll live."
"About that I spoke with the others…"
"You don't want me out there any more do you, you don't think I can protect my self..," only to be silenced as he covered her lips with two fingers.
"They don't think you can handle it, I know you will partner, so get your strength back I need you ready to go when the Sentinels show themselves."
Pulling his hand away from her face, she kept it gripped tightly in her other hand as she drifted back off to sleep, determined to make sure he'd to the first thing she saw when she came back to awareness.

Authors note- and we enter the home stretch, if things go as planned there should by 3 more chapters in this story. That's not to say I don't have ideas for future adventures of the Knights, but I do want to know 2 things. 1. Does anyone want to me continue with this saga when this story is over and 2. If I do continue should I just add them as additional chapters or have them be new stories
Anyway R/R please, and with luck I'll have the next chapter soon
