Kim Possible: The Sociopath Episode

Disclaimer: KP and Ron are Mark and Bob's. Nev Killbourne and the mysterious villain are mine.

Chapter 6: Information
Nev fills Kim and Ron on who he believes is the Kim's newest villain.

The room felt like it bent reality in two. In a mere few seconds, Nev's computer systems lit the entire basement with holograms flying all over the place as it booted up. Random images and text appeared everywhere, making Kim wonder if Nev wanted to entertain his guests, making it look like his computers had all the information in the world. Still, it was fun to watch, but when the eye candy was all over, it abruptly disappeared.

"More!" Rufus yelled.

"Can we see that again?" Ron asked.

"Only when it turns on, I'm afraid." Nev replied, then turned to Kim, "So, where do we begin?" he asked, relaxing in his chair.

Kim begun, "The guy we ran into last night. Wade said you might know him personally. Any details would help a lot."

Nev answered, "Well, I sorta know him personally, but as far as identity goes, I only know him by his online screen name; 'BloodBlade07'"

"So it's a guy." Ron observed.

"Yes. I met him in an online chat room a few months ago. He was interested in the same things; TV, cartoons, animation, technology, art and the like. But the main difference was that he was a lot more cynical than I ever was. He graduated from Upperton a year ago."

Ron interrupted, "So you're saying that he's just a little older than we are? Wow."

Nev answered, "No, he's the same age. He graduated a year early from the rest of his class. He's no older or younger than either of you."

Kim and Ron looked at each other briefly. They got owned by a kid the same age.

"But anyway, things were bad in high school. Late in his high school career, he had a crush on a girl he knew most of his life. Smart, pretty, sweet, and a cheerleader. Much like yourself, Kim. However, Middleton cheerleaders aren't quite the same as Upperton cheerleaders, fortunately for you."

Kim hated the general stereotype regarding the Middleton cheerleaders. Often, everyone outside Middleton thought the MH cheerleaders were the same as everyone else, joining only to gain social status and acceptance. However, with Kim...

"I just joined because it was fun and it helped my athletic abilities, and for some extracurricular credit. It's no big."

Nev nodded, "Which is good. Unfortunately, Middleton is one of a kind when it comes to cheerleading. Everywhere else, especially Upperton, girls become cheerleaders usually to gain acceptance and push their social status higher. Unfortunately for 'Blade', he picked a bad time to ask her out and find out who she really was. She was shy and wouldn't reveal herself at all, which really gave her a pure, delicate and innocent essence. 'Blade' wanted to find out what she was hiding and why she was hiding it."

Ron sympathized. "I don't like where this is going."

"That's nothing." Nev intervened. "It gets worse. She took a slight interest in him, and he wanted to help unleash her inner potential, but she was far more interested in popularity, parties, and pushing her social status higher. That's where things turned really really ugly. She changed really fast, from a shy and sweet girl to a stuck up snob, and blew him off because he wasn't 'man' enough for her."

This was all too familiar for Ron. It reminded him slightly of Bonnie as she too had expectations for what a guy should be.

"But she had abused some substances, and blew him off in the worst way she could imagine; Blow someone off, leave the place, and leave with no answers. It hurt him, and when things kicked in, he snapped, hard. He hadn't had his heart broken before, but he hoped if she didn't return his feelings, she would have the heart to tell him lightly. She didn't remember the situation, but didn't have any regrets for what happened. So, he vowed revenge on everyone responsible. Not all of it was her own doing."

This part almost frightened Kim, scrunching herself against Ron. She wondered if anyone had crushed on her or the other girls, or if she had inadvertently hurt anyone. But this was definitely not like Middleton at all. Parties were common, but they were little more than gatherings. If there was any illegal activity or immorality going on, it was extremely rare.

Ron noticed Kim's attitude, continuing the conversation. "So, he wanted revenge, but why come out of the closet now?"

"Long story. Turns out the people he wanted revenge against consisted of more than half of the student body. But strangely, one by one, bad things started happening to them. Car accidents, broken bones, sickness, arrests, and more. None of them fatal, but what was strange is that he did absolutely nothing."

Kim raised her head. "So wait, you're saying that he did so little as to just hope something bad would happen, and it did?"

"He's a huge believer in Karma, thanks to his ancestors. In a lot of chat rooms, he told me that they practiced something supernatural, but not witchcraft. Basically, if an innocent family member was harmed, they would pay somehow, some way. It's been in their blood since. But luckily, it happens only if he doesn't do something first."

Rufus squeaked, "Whoa, freaky."

Ron intervened, "So... what did his parents think about this?"

Nev twiddled his fingers nervously. "His parents died when he was three in a car accident, and his grandfather, a martial arts expert, took him in and trained him all his life. Blade didn't have much of a social life until Michelle came in, so those years went to training with his grandfather. He moved out the second he turned 18, and his grandfather passed recently."

Unfortunately, this Michelle girl didn't spark any plugs. Even though she was a cheerleader, they didn't know of her.

"He graduated and everything was over, but he still wasn't satisfied. He had no plans for college, but he needed something more." Nev paused, sighing. "So he asked me what I was going to do in life, and I told him that I'm a techno whiz, and currently I was working on a powerful body suit. Next morning, it was gone. I'm guessing he traced me and stole it."

Kim's interest turned into the new topic. "The suit..."

"Designed as a defense mechanism for myself. Dealing with Wade and some other techno whizzes worldwide, I had no idea whether or not I'd be heavily involved in the secret agent business, or if I'd get attacked by your enemies. So, I designed it so I could quickly get into it and be controlled by my reflexes. It's a perfectly safe suit, but the suit tries to connect to your nervous system, enhancing your physical abilities by your thoughts. If you wanted to jump but couldn't, the suit would assist you."

Kim spoke, "So with Blade's martial arts training and the suit..."

Nev continued. "He's nearly invincible. Even worse, he's modified it heavily. The circuitry allows it to be easily tracked in case it was stolen, but he's modified it so much that I can't track it any longer."

"Next question," asked Kim, "Any reason why he decided to come out of hiding and steal the Crimson Shenitz jewel?"

"Never heard of it, but I really don't know. I just know his background information and when Wade told me of a bank bust going on involving a masked man with a skull, I took interest. When Wade showed me the security camera shots, I recognized the suit immediately. So, I asked him to invite you here."

"We appreciate it." Kim responded.

"Actually, I can now think of a reason he came out, and I don't think it's pretty." Nev replied.

"Spill."

"I think he's after the both of you, one reason being your recent victory over Drakken. He's desperate to find a challenge, and I suppose he sees you as a worthy opponent. And he's not fond of couples at all. But that's just a wild guess."

Ron looked baffled. "Does everyone in the whole world know that we're going out?"

Kim interrupted, "At least we have some information. Thanks Nev."

As Kim and Ron got up, Nev stopped them. "Before you go, Kim, there's something Wade asked me to show you."

Ron glared at the two. "Am I always left out?"

Nev turned to Ron. "Relax, buddy. Wade just asked me to modify and upgrade some of Kim's equipment. You can check out my arcade collection if you wish. Free play on all machines. Hopefully this won't take too long."

Rufus pointed Ron towards the machines. So many arcade classics to play, and all for free. Ron couldn't help but dance his way towards them.

Nev led Kim into a dark room located deeper into the basement. Just as everything grew dark, the door shut loudly, turning everything into darkness. Nev abruptly appeared before Kim with a blowtorch, lighting the room up.

"I need your battle suit. You need an upgrade."
