Saturday: Nova Mission.
As the boat began to close in on the island, Kim Ron and Will Du prepared to infiltrate the party. The party was supposedly exclusively for the rich so what better way to show up than in a very expensive looking yacht.
"So what if we get into trouble, what happens then"? Ron asks Du while putting on his suit.
"Well we can always call GJ for backup but it would be awhile before they get to us, they've got to keep a good distance away".
"So we're pretty much on our own".
"Exactly"
Kim takes a look at Ron and shakes her head "Ron why did you pick the tackiest leisure suit GJ has. Ron looks down at his egg white suit that looked straight out of the eighties.
"What I think it looks good, Will what do you think"?
Will turns around and doesn't say a word.
"I think it looks good on you Ron" says June coming up to the deck and winking at him.
"Uh thanks", Ron takes a look at Kim's glare and he decides it would be best if he changed the suit now.
When Ron returns from changing, Kim pulls him to the side.
"Why is she here Ron, you know we can't go in with her it could be dangerous".
"I know but she wouldn't stay anywhere without me, so I've told her to stay on the boat I'll get Rufus to watch her".
Ron looked over at Kim and just gazed at her in the moonlight. His mind wandered to the night she told him that she loved him, the next morning due to the effects of the X45 she had forgotten about the night before. But he didn't, the words hung over him for the next of couple of days; it led to his decision to avoid June. He thought if he didn't see her, he could avoid any more incidents.
"Kim have I ever told you how beautiful you looked in the moonlight".
She begins to blush "well not recently".
"Hey do you know that our one year anniversary is only a couple of days away" he tells her.
"Yea, I do and it's been one of the best years of my life".
"Too bad we'll probably spend that day on a mission like this".
"It doesn't matter as long as you're with my Ron it'll be okay".
Before Ron can say anything else, Agent Du interrupts them. "Alright we're about to dock you guys, before we get off anybody got any questions.
Ron raises his hand "Are children who act in R rated movies allowed to watch them"?
"Does anybody have any serious questions"?
After he gets no additional responses he hands them specially made watches, "these watches are two way communicators, if there's trouble we can contact each other quickly. All right let's go".
Ron begins to put a gun inside pants.
"When did you start packing heat Ron" asks Kim.
"It's an EMP gun I swiped it from that snobby Buttner's office before we left".
"You stole it"?
"No not exactly; DR. Director said we could take whatever we needed from the base to take on this missing, so this is insurance against Androids.
"Ron they probably have metal detectors here you can't bring that with you, we can only bring the stuff in our survival packs."
"All right" said Ron putting it away; he then takes Rufus out of his pocket "Rufus I know usually I take you everywhere but I need you to guard the boat and June".
Rufus shakes his head in disappointment "Oh man"
"Alright I'll make you adeal when we get back to GJ HQ; I'll have the chef make you whatever you want".
Hearing this Rufus gives Ron a standing salute.
"I knew I could count on you".
"Come on Ron" Kim calls after him as she disembarks, Ron turns to June.
"Rufus will take good care of you, and we'll be back right after we nail this guy".
As Ron is leaving she grabs his arm, "Ron you still have a chance to change your mind, we can still be together".
Ron removes her hand from his arm, "June I'm sorry if I lead you on in any way but, look we'll talk about this when I get back". He leaves her in complete silence as he gets off the boat.
Once on the island it didn't take to much time to spot the club, for one thing there was a long paved road to the entrance. The club itself was a very large mansion and had a large neon Atlantis sign over the door. There were two large bouncers at the door, checking for invitations, luckily for the group GJ had acquired the invitations and included fake I.Ds.
Once through the door they were blasted by techno/hip-hop music, the inside seemed like a huge ball room with large staircases on both sides of the room. But instead of a classy party the club was in complete darkness except for lasers bouncing off the walls and a disco ball in the ceiling.
"What the heck I thought this party was for the rich, where are the waiters and the violins and the pretentious small talk"? Asks Ron completely surprised.
"Damn we must have gotten some bad info, man we may have too ditch these suits or we'll draw attention to ourselves" replies Will Du.
Unfortunately that is exactly what happened, in the security room a fat man was sitting in front of many different TVs scanning the audience.
"Hey boss, come and check this out" he calls out.
From behind him appears Nova Escobar he was in his late twenties and had a perfect tan; he was of average height, he wore sweatpants a white t shirt and some sandals. But over all this he wore a fur coat. To complete his style he wore a pair of sunglasses he never removed and always carried around his trademark pimp cane. Needless to say he was a little eccentric.
"What's going on man Nova's trying to enjoy this party, and you're killing Nova's buzz man".
"I'm sorry boss but some strange people just walked in through the door".
"So what man, strange people come here all the time Nova Escobar's made most of his money with strange people" Nova tells him, he seemed to enjoy referring to himself in the third person.
"Yea but these guys just came in with formal wear boss I'm talking suits and dresses".
This piece of information catches Nova's attention "anyone who's worked with Nova knows Nova don't dig formal clothes man, keep an eye on them or have security follow them".
The group not knowing they had been spotted tried their best to blend with the crowd but it was useless.
"This plan is going along really well" Ron says while rolling his eyes. While standing near a booth for the DJ they decided to start their plan early.
"Alright guys I'm going to into the ladies room and see if they are any vents I can access, Ron you wait a couple of minutes and try the same with the men's room, then Will you cause a distraction and see if you can get up the stairs" Kim tells them.
"Alright good luck KP, remember if you get into trouble you can just call talk to us on your watch". Once they get their plan together, Kim headed to the ladies room.
"Man even I can see we don't belong here we've probably been red flagged already" Ron tells Will.
"Red flag is that a new drink" says a red eyed man who practically falls on Ron.
"Jeez looks like I've made friend" says Ron.
"At least talking to him makes us look like we're part of the party" Will tells him.
"Hey thanks for catching me man, how about I buy you a drink" the man says to Ron slurring his words.
"Sorry buddy I don't drink'.
"Well I'm a just a social drinker myself you know".
"Really"
"Yea when anybody is getting a drink than so shall I" the man cracks up at his own joke and then stumbles back toward the dance floor.
"What was that all about"? Asks Ron
Just as they continue talking a large bouncer appears before them "Excuse me sirs you're going to have to move, you're blocking the fire exit.
Ron turns around to the door apologizes and they begin to walk to the other side of the room.
"As if there was a fire, I wouldn't go through the fire exit; last I checked if you can be burned and be able to move you are never going to keep blocking a fire exit, Ron says.
"That wasn't about the exit, you were right Ron we've been flagged that guy was obviously checking us out.
"Damn, we better get moving I'm headed to the bathroom".
Kim got to the ladies room and checked the stalls to see if anyone was there, after finding the room empty she changes into the stealth suit which was under her dress.
After surveying the ceiling she notices air vents over the toilets she uses her laser lipstick to cut one open and climbs inside.
Ron enters the bathroom and begins to change into his stealth clothes, suddenly he hears foot steps; someone had entered the bathroom after him. He enters a stall and pretends to be using the bathroom, he watches as the person's feet walks by the urinals and stands in front of his door.
"What's the deal with this guy" he wonders.
Suddenly the door bursts open, Ron stares at the large man who had knocked the door down it was the same guy who had asked them to move. He grabs Ron and throws him towards the sinks Ron's head slams against the mirrors. As he grabs his head in pain, the man pulls out a chain and attempts to choke Ron from behind.
"What the hell are you brats doing here, we saw the girl enter the vents so we know you're up to something".
"You put a camera in the ladies room that is sick and wrong" says Ron as he is being strangled by the chain.
Up in the security room Nova watches the events unfolding.
"I knew they were up to no good boss, 45 is dealing with the kid in the men's room and I'm sending Nine and his boys to take care off the other guy".
"Excellent man I knew I could count on you, they'll pay for crashing Nova Escobar's party".
"You think they're after our code cracking program boss".
"Why else would they be here".
"But how could they now about it, we've gone through extra measures to keep it a secret".
"It doesn't matter, what does matter is that we take care of this now".
"What do we do about the girl according to the vent plan she's headed this way".
"Let her come it's about time I had some fun tonight".
Will walked across the dance floor making his way to the staircases, he was planning to set off a small smoke bomb in the crowd causing a panic that included the guards inspecting the area giving him an opportunity to get pass them.
"Wow they're a lot of pretty girls here, I need to ask Dr. Director for a vacation and get a date". Suddenly a rough hand grabs him from behind. "Care to dance", said a rough voice behind him.
Will turns to find himself with Nine a large man who looked like he had been using steroids since he was being fed from a bottle.
"Uh no I'm flattered but I don't dance with guys", as he finishes talking Nine pulls out a taser and attacks him. Will dodges it but a dancer gets tasered instead he shakes violently but no one seems to notice.
Will looks around him they were more guards making their way through the crowd, this was getting hectic his cover was blown a long time ago and these guys weren't afraid of fighting in a crowd.
Kim crawled through the vents until she found her first opportunity to exit; she wished she could have had Wade get the floor plans for her but she was told any external or internal transmissions in the club would probably be monitored.
So for now she was running blind, the first air vent grate she found seemed to lead into a closet. She popped it open and dropped herself inside; it did turn out to be a janitor's closet. As she checked her surroundings the door of the closet flew open. She puts on a defensive stance but no one comes in. She walks through the door and enters a huge throne room, and there sitting on a throne was Nova Escobar.
"You did it baby congratulations you made history, you're the first person to break into Nova's home and crash Nova's party".
Kim had been taken by surprise but this was nothing she wasn't used, "cut the crap all I need is the info you have on Astuzia".
Nova smiles at her "Nova doesn't think you're in any position to be asking questions" he says as two men enter the room and stand to the right and left of him.
Ron's brain begins to feel sluggish as he begins to lose his breath; he had to think of something fast. He thought of a plan as he pushed 45 against the wall and planted his feet; 45 was forced to put all his weight on Ron's back to tighten the chain on his neck once Ron feels the pressure he picks the man off the ground. And actually carries him on his back. 45 is momentarily taken by surprise, Ron takes a few steps toward the sinks and throws himself toward the ground. His face passes the sink by centimeters but the man is not as lucky as his face crashes hits the sink shattering it and knocking him out. Ron relieved rolls 45 off of his back and rolls across the floor gasping for air.
Will was slowly being surrounded, but he couldn't fight with so many still people still partying someone might get hurt. He took out his smoke bomb, "better now then later" he thought. He screamed out fire, and tossed the bomb into the crowd. There was an immediate panic as people headed toward the fire exit. As they rushed to the door, Will who had managed to memorize the location of the guards closest to him, began taking out as many as he could while they were confused. Nine was swinging his taser around in the thick smoke when a dark silhouette came near him and sent a quick kick to his face. As he fell Nine could hear a distinct voice say "one down".
Nova continues to sit on his specially made throne enjoying the situation, "so you thought you could steal from Nova Escobar huh, well now you're going to pay the price".
"First of all" Kim begins "stop talking about yourself in the third person, second why are you wearing a fur coat over a t shirt? And third I thought I told you to give me all the info you have on Astuzia".
"Sorry babe but Nova don't know any Astuzia, and if even if Nova did; Nova wouldn't tell you anything about Nova's clients".
"Yea and he won't tell you about the program either" shouts one of Nova's henchman, causing Nova to slap him in the face.
Nova walks off his throne "Well babe let me introduce you to Nova's two best men. The one on the left the captain of Nova's security forces is Glock. And the idiot on the right who just spilled about the program is the vice captain Gat. Both men begin to flex their muscles to show off the strength".
Nova turns to a door and attempts to leave.
"And where do you think you're going" Kim call after him.
"Me oh well Nova may be a criminal but Nova is still a gentleman, Nova can't stand to see a woman be pummeled so Nova will just leave".
"How chivalrous of you" she snaps back at him. "Don't go too far I'll get what I want from you sooner or later".
Nova ignores the threat and walk through the door, as Gat and Glock creep towards her.
As the smoke clears the remaining party goers run through the door, Will managed to knock out five guards in the smoke, but now he was surrounded by at least thirty. He could his own for awhile but he would need some help to take them out. Just as they are about to attack Ron stumbles out of the bathroom still gasping for air and massaging a red bruise around his neck.
"Ron are you okay"?
"Yea I just got into some trouble in the bathroom".
"Well I've got problems out here".
Ron looks up to see the thirty guards surrounding Will and gets up of the floor.
"I guess you can call me the problem solver then".
Glock came at Kim with a straight punch she ducks under it and retaliates with a roundhouse kick that sends him flying, Gat tries to smash both his fists into her head but she catches them and knees him in the stomach.
"All that training is paying off" she thinks to herself "I finally get a chance to see how strong I've gotten".
She rushes at Gat who tries to anticipate her attack. He throws a forearm where he believes she will be but hits nothing but air.
"Behind you" taunts Kim as she grabs him at his waist lifts him off the ground bends backward and sends him crashing down on the back of his head, knocking him out.
"That take care of the vice captain now for the captain himself".
"There is a huge difference between him and me" Glock tells her.
"That's what they all say" she takes the laser lipstick out of her pocket, I'll take you down before this touches the ground. She throws the lipstick high into the air towards Glock.
Glock eyes focus on the lipstick in the air "what is this a jok" before he can finish he feels a powerful blow to his midsection. He looks down to see Kim remove her fist from his stomach, barely keeping consciousness he watches as she puts her palm out just in time to for the lipstick to land on it. He then collapses to the ground.
Putting her lipstick back in her pocket she marvels at the power she had gained in just a week. "I won't even need to use the X45 elixir with this power".
Returning to the mission she hurries to the door that Nova had entered, but it turns out to be locked. She could cut it down but during the fight she had noticed another door on the other side of the throne. She opens the door she finds the fat man sitting in front of a bunch of the security camera feeds.
"Security room" she thinks to herself.
"Get back" cried the man visibly scared "I know karate … please don't kill me".
"I'm not going to kill you I'm just here from some info".
Two more guards fell in front of Ron and Will as they were stood standing back to back; they had managed to cut the group down in half.
"Ron you're pretty good at this tag team action".
"Well I'm used to it although I usually have some one better looking watching my back".
As they are talking the rest of the guards attempt to regroup, "Ron how about we take out the rest of this trash".
"You lead the way" Ron crouches while Will uses his back as a ramp and leaps into a group of five guards; with a flying kick he knocks one into the ground. Moving quickly he punches one in the jaw and flip kicks another. Then spinning on his heel he sends a roundhouse kick that connects with the last two at the same time.
Taking his time to catch his breath he fails to see Nine come at him from behind with a knife. Before he can stab Will he is punched in the face and sent sliding across the floor by Ron.
Ron and Will prepare for more attacks but there is no movement from the rest of them. One of the remaining guards looks at Nine on the floor, then at his other fallen comrades and then finally at Ron and Will.
"I don't get paid enough for this crap" he says, there is a collective agreement among the group and they proceed to walk out.
"Well that was unexpected" replies Ron.
"We don't have time to talk we have to go help" there is a loud gunshot that takes them both by surprise. Will feels some tremendous pain in his body and realizes there is hole in his chest. Seeing his own blood at first cost causes time to stop for him, but he is bought down to earth as he realizes how much harder it was to breathe.
"Ron I've been hit" he gasps sucking in as much air as he could; his mind begins to panic as he begins to wonder if one of his lungs had been pierced.
"Damn Will don't panic you are soldier remember putting his hand over Will's wound to stop the bleeding. Ron started to panic himself searching through his survival pack that was located in his pocket. "Alright Will its okay just tell me what too do".
"Pills" He gasps "red pills"
Ron grabs the red pills out of his pack and feed them to Will he then rubs some special ointment over the wound.
"Alright what do these do"?
"Stop the bleeding but need to hospital soon or I die" he says trying to talk but then passes out.
"We need to call this mission off, and get you into the hospital".
"Nova just loves a god drama, will they reach the hospital on time tune it next week" says a voice from the direction of the staircase.
Ron looks up to see Nova sitting on the staircase.
"You did this" Ron screams at him.
Nova points a gun a Ron "Nova enjoyed the drama, but now Nova's going to end this right here".
Kim drags the fat man across the throne room as she begins to think about the welfare of Ron and Will. Maybe I should check in on them, before she could use her watch the fat man chimes in.
Alright this is the treasury he puts his hand on a section of the wall and it slides open. Kim and the man step into a large room which looked like a laboratory but it contained dozens of shelves filled with money.
"Doesn't this guy believe in banks" Kim asks.
"He's got billions in banks but this money is a little too "dirty" for banks". The fat man replies.
Kim takes a look around and then spots a room marked clientele behind a glass door Inside of the room she can see stacks of boxes piled up on each other. The door had no way to open, but there was a keypad to the left of it.
"What's the code for the door", she asks.
"I think I've told you enough how about you take some cash and leave then everyone's happy".
Kim grabs his arm and twists it, "I'm not here for any money, I need info".
"All right all right" he cries out in pain "It's his name Nova Escobar"
"He uses his own name as a password, what an egotistical jerk" before she enters the code, she knocks the man on his head causing him to cry out and drop to the ground.
"That was for putting a camera in the ladies room".
She types in the code and the door opens up, and she steps inside she grabs one of the boxes. Skimming through the papers inside, she realizes that she couldn't find any information by herself.
"We're going have to take all of these boxes out to GJ HQ; suddenly the glass door returns and snaps shut. Kim turns around surprised by what has happened. The fat man outside of the room begins to laugh, "Sorry miss but the real code was Nova Escobar the magnificent".
"Damn I was too careless" Kim thinks to herself, but her thoughts are interrupted by the sounds of running water. She looks up to the vents in the room and is horrified to find that water had begun pouring into the room. She reaches for her survival pack in her pockets but finds nothing there.
"Looking for this" laughs the fat man holding the pack in his hand "I'm not just a liar; I'm a pretty good thief too" he says as he leaves the room.
Ron stares at the gun pointed at him; he didn't think he would have enough time to dodge the bullet.
"Some man you are, shooting an unarmed person".
"You're right, to show how you much of gentleman Nova is Nova will fight you mano a mano".
"You are so merciful Nova".
"You think so huh, in a few minutes you'll which Nova had shot you".
Nova begins by throwing his fur coat to the floor in a stylized pose "unlike the other rich people relying on others only, to protect themselves. Nova's had some training in hand to hand combat.
"Dude what is wrong with you"?
Nova sets his cane on the floor; gets' into a fighting pose. Ron charges at him "I'll make you pay for hurting Will".
Ron throws a punch at him but before he can see it he is kicked in the stomach, the kick is one of the hardest blows he had ever received. Spit flies out of his mouth as he bends in over in pain, Nova follows the kick with and uppercut to the face. The force of the punch is so powerful it paralyzes him for a moment.
"How is this guy so strong" he thinks as he falls to the ground.
"Give it up boy by concentrating all of Nova's power in one place Nova's blows can deliver serious damage".
Ron almost blacking out tries to regain his composure when his watch comes online, "Kim I'm in trouble Will's down and I don't think I can take this guy" he says.
The transmission begins to flicker on and off "Ron I was too careless, I need help".
Hearing the urgency in her voice brings Ron to full alertness, just as he is kicked into the wall.
"Don't ignore me boy" screams Nova as he continues to pounds Ron's body against the wall.
Blinded by the pain and losing conscience Ron can only hear the voice from his watch, "Ron the water, the treasury I'll die please help me".
"I have to help her but I can't this guy is too strong" he thinks as Nova's blows continue to rain down on him. Ron begins to pass out but the last thing he hears is "Ron I need you" and then the transmission ends.
"She needs me, She needs me, She need me; these words echo in Ron' head as awakens from the darkness.
"This is the final blow kid" Nova screams as puts all his force into a final attack, but the punch is caught by Ron.
"Let me pass or I'll kill you" Ron tells him in a low voice.
"Kill Nova ha" he begins to laugh but stops when he realizes he can't remove his fist from Ron's hand.
"Where is the treasury"?
"Like I would tell a punk like you" Ron sends a punch to Nova's face that he doesn't even notice until his nose is broken instantly.
"Where"?
"I'll never tell" he receives a punch in the ribs that knocks him away, Nova scramble across the floor to his pimp cane. He pulls a sword from it and charges at Ron. Ron sidesteps the attack knocks the sword away and grabs Nova's arm.
"I don't have time for this, tell me or I'll break it".
"All right, all right it's upstairs on the second floor in the throne room".
Ron drops him to the ground and runs up the stairs.
"Damn him" cries Nova as he heads pulls out a communicator from his sweat pants pocket "Hello is anybody still working for me"
The fat man appears on the screen "I'm still with you boss I've grabbed the code cracking program and I'm already outside".
"Excellent" says Nova "Wait for me at the docks; I'm not going let some idiot ruin me I'd rather blow this place to hell". He walks up to a wall near one of the staircases and opens up a hidden panel. Inside he pushes a small button and an alarm goes off throughout the whole mansion, followed by a robotic voice announcing the mansion would self destruct in ten minutes.
The water was almost up to her neck when she heard the self destruct announcement. Just then Ron runs into the room.
"Kim don't worry I'll get you out of here he began to smash his fist against the glass but it had no effect. He then began to threw his body full force at the glass"
"Eight minutes until detonation"
"Damn this stupid glass" he cries as he dislocates his shoulder.
"Ron are you okay" Kim cries as he winces in pain.
"Stop worrying about me Kim, I have to get you out of here" he tells her popping his shoulder back in.
He looks around the room for an object to use; he notices a chair and in a frantic hurry he begins to viciously beat it into the glass.
6 minutes until detonation
He continues to beat furiously at the glass. "It can't end this way, after all these years I can't let a piece of glass keep me away from her.
The water almost reaches her mouth as the room is seconds from being filled to the top, "Ron forget about me run" she tells him before taking a deep breath as the water finally envelops her.
"Shut up Kim just hold your breath" he screams at her then the chair breaks apart in his hand. "No this isn't happening; this can't be happening he screams as he falls to his knees.
Nova ran toward the docks to meet up with his last follower, "five minutes until the house blows" he says smiling to him self. But the smile turns to horror as he finds the fat man lying on the road in a puddle of blood.
"What happened, where is my program"?
"Actually it's my program now".
Nova turns around and comes face to face with Astuzia.
Kim lungs felt like they were on fire, finally she couldn't hold it in anymore and her breath escapes from her body. As her lungs filled with water she began to black out to the sounds of Ron banging on the glass.
4 minutes before detonation
Ron knuckles began to bleed as he punches the glass in the same spot over and over "God if I have gotten any real strength over the years let me use it to save her" he prayed. His knuckles screamed in agony but that didn't stop him from hitting the same spot on the glass over and over again. Finally a tiny crack appears in the crack, this gives Ron a sign off hope and somehow he increases the power of each punch until the pressure from the water causes the glass to break.
As the water rushes over him Ron grabs Kim and quickly performs the CPR, breathing air into her body and pushing down on her chest. He tries his best to revive her, after a few moments a dreadful thought washes over him as he holds her in his arms.
"I'm too late he" he thinks, and tears begin to fall for his eyes, "I wasn't able to save her after all. He looks at her "she still looks so beautiful".
Finally all his emotions break out, and he begins to weep.
"Kim I'm so sorry if I was only here earlier. I'm sorry I never told you how I really felt.
The tears pour down on Kim's face like rain. You were always there for me and in the end I failed you.
"You told you loved me and I didn't say anything I was confused June was coming on to me and I I I thought I wanted something else but deep down I knew it was you I needed more than anything else.
3 minutes until detonation
Ron heard the warning but he didn't care, "I had a made a decision this morning a decision about something I've know all my life , when we got back I was going to tell you I was going to tell you I love you Kim. I really and truly do love you." He drops his head in despair "but now it's too late"
As Ron continues crying he hears a gurgling sound coming from her mouth, suddenly she begins to cough up the water. As she begins to vomit out the rest of the water, Ron just sits there staring at her. When she stops to suck in some air Ron moves grabs her not believing what he was seeing.
"Kim you're alive", he then hugs her like he hadn't seen her in years.
"I thought I lost you KP, it's a miracle".
"I just kept following your voice Ron in all the darkness I knew if I followed your voice I'd be all right.
One minute until detonation
"Come on Kim we've got to get out of here", he picks her and carries her out the door running as fast as he could he makes his way back to the ballroom. He had returned here to get Will's body but it was nowhere to be found all the bodies on the floor had been cleared out.
"I can't search any longer, I hope to God you're not in here Will" Ron runs out the door carrying Kim in his arms.
As they get twenty feet away the house explodes into a ball of flames; the shockwaves send Kim and Ron flying into the air onto the paved road.
"That mission was a success" says Ron watching the mansion go up in flames. "Can you walk Kim"?
"Yea" she says picking herself up.
"Hey Kim did you hear anything I said in there"?
"No"
"Oh" Ron says disappointed.
"I didn't hear you say you love me" she says smiling.
"Good" Ron says grabbing her "because I didn't mean it" he says as he kisses her deeply, the kiss last longer then usual as they became lost in each other's arms just like that night at the prom almost a year ago.
"Don't ever scare me like that again Kim we've got a lifetime of these kisses left to enjoy".
"Isn't this lovely" says a deep voice from the darkness, out of the shadows appears Astuzia exactly as they had seen him on the screen at the base.
"You" Kim and Ron scream out together.
"Yes me" he tosses Nova Escobar's body to them. "I should thank you for this" he holds up a disk. "I could've sent my own men to get it but this seemed like a lot more fun".
"You used us" cried Kim.
"Used is such an ugly word, I just implanted certain information into Dark Sunday's brain as a gift for Global Justice.
Kim rushed at him and attacks him with a punch that he swats away like a fly, as she is fighting him he continues talking.
"I'm sure you've heard about Clark's nanotechnology" he says as he blocks all of her attacks with one hand.
"Well it should please you to know that the second leading scientist in nanotech is of course myself" he continues while evading all of her attacks.
"Why can't I hit him" Kim screams in her mind, she wasn't even coming close to touch him.
"Even if I am second I've come up with an interesting discovery", he stops and in a matter of seconds he hit her in four different places on her body knocking her into the ground. "When you fuse nanomachines into your body you can become something more then human, you can become a God.
He then steps on her body causing her to cry out, seeing this Ron becomes enraged".
"Kim I'm coming"
"Don't move Ron" a voice calls from behind him.
Ron recognizes the voice immediately "It can't be" he thinks, he turns to see June holding Will hostage. Will was still out but she had a dart gun to his head.
"June why, what about your father"?
She gives him a sinister smile "I told you I hated my father he chose global justice over his family and he allowed the only person I loved to die"
"That's insane"
"Astuzia showed me the truth he showed me why my mother had died so needlessly, that fool who dared to call himself my father brought dangerous documents into our home the swore to protect. So I faked the kidnapping helped Astuzia get the info from him and killed him with my own hands".
"So why, what is this all about"?
Astuzia had ordered me to gather information on Kim so that is what I did, although the kisses we shared weren't part of the deal but they were very real.
Ron felt like he was going to vomit.
Astuzia laughed out loud, and looked at Kim who was still struggling under his foot. "Now you're probably wondering why I had you go through all this trouble just to get a code cracking program; we'll I'm going to use it to crack the code on the A.C program".
"Global Justice already destroyed that program", shouted Ron.
"No they lied, there're higher members of Global Justice you've never seen, the only reason they're destroying the copies is so that they could have the real one for themselves.
"So what"? Cried Kim unable to move
"So you're going to steal it for me", so we can continue this game.
"Why would I do that"?
"Well according to Miss Juni's information I know your only weakness. Miss Juni if you please".
"Sorry Ron I gave you a chance but you chose the losing side", she throws Will to the ground and shoots Ron with the dart gun.
The dart hits Ron in the neck, and he immediately feels a slight burning sensation. Suddenly he senses an unimaginable pain as all the bones in his body feel like they're melting. He drops to the ground and screams in horror as foam pours out of his mouth.
"Ron" screams Kim still pinned to the ground "what did you do to him"?
"It's a nanovirus that only I can cure while the nanomachines in my body give me perfect health, and enhance all of my physical attributes tenfold; the virus does the opposite it will slowly destroy everything in his body", Ron continues to scream out in agony. He lifts his foot off of her as a plane being flown by an android lands behind him.
June boards the plane first but before he can leave Kim attacks Astuzia again.
"Here is another neat trick the nanomachines let me perform. He blocks her attacks again like they were nothing and grabs her by the throat. Kim is shocked too discover that he moved much faster than Dark Sunday.
"These machines allow me to produce electricity" he says as he lifts her off the ground by the neck and sends electrical currents into her buddy, enough to stun her but not kill her.
After two current shots she stops moving and he drops her on the floor. Turning to leave again he hears her voice.
"Wait, what about Ron" she says,barely able to speak.
"So you accept my offer", he reaches into his pocket and throws a small disk on the ground, "follow the instructions on this disk, get me the program and I will make sure he doesn't die at the end of the week" he then boards the plane.
"Sir Do we have to involve Stoppable in this", asks June.
"You said it yourself girl, he chose this path, he was a parasite anyway".
"What if she doesn't go along with this"?
"If she doesn't he dies and she suffers for it for the rest of her life, either way I win".
The plane takes off as the Global Justice members begin to gather on the island. Kim grabs the disk and crawls over to Ron who had passed out from the pain.
"Ron I'm sorry, I wasn't strong enough again" are the last thing she says before she collapses on top of him, and that's how they were found; together.
Authors note: well that was an extra long chap(and the hardest one yet) I wanted to break it up into different chaps over the future but since I won't be on for a couple of days (sorry) I decided this was the best way to do it. Once again I'd like to thank all the reviewers for their kind words.
p.s last week i put a robin williams joke in the story(glad somebody caught it) this time it's a mitch hedberg joke any fans of his can probably spot it
