Chapter 14: Tragedy
When Rufus was finally tucked safely in Rons pocket, and they had gotten dressed in their usual mission cloths, Kim beeped the ten-year old genius, who, by the time, had the teleporter up and ready.
"Ready, Wade?" Kim asked him.
"Yep." He replied, as he checked some computer screens in his room. "Once again, just think of these coordinates: Maine, south fifty-seven degrees, east sixty-five degrees.
The teenagers nodded, repeating the numbers in their head, and approxamitly tirty seconds later, they were whisked away into the teleportation grid.

What Shego hated most was the silence. Drakken had decided to keep going on with their plan, even after the fight they had only a few days ago. After some thinking, Shego half-reluctantly agreed, and they set out towards their next destination: The south-east of Maine. But still, even in the same helicopter, only a few metres apart from each other, they wouldn't even look, let alone talk to each other. Suddenly, Drakkens voice finally broke the silence.
"This time, we do it my way."
Shego jumped, as if a freezing cold cloth had been slapped against her neck.
"Huh?" She asked, her curiousity winning the battle against her stubburness.
Drakken reached inside his pocket, and pulled out a small metal orb. He reached his hand out so Shego could see what it was, never taking his eyes off the windsheild of the helicopter.
"This time, we go..." His lips curled into what resembled a half-hearted smile. "Demolition."

Kim and Ron materialized approxamitly one-hundered yards away from that all-too-fimiliar white complex. Ron was about to make some remark about the teleportation making him dizzy, when they both felt the cold air sorround itself all around them. They shivered, and Kim looked behind them, only to see the ground come to an end. Cautiously, she took a step towards the shortage of land, Ron doing the same, and they both gasped as they finally realised exactly where they were.
On top of a mountain.
Beyond the edge, there was nothing but air. A blanket of deep white mist covered the drop, makeing it impossible to see exactly how far the drop off the mountain really was... Not that they wanted to know.
"C'mon." Kim muttered, and with one last look into the chasm below, she grabbed Rons hand and pulled him towards the large, white building that awaited them.
Ron, however, was suddenly remembering his dream that he had only a few days ago. 'Could it-' He thought, troubled, but then shook his head firmly. 'Nah. Just a coincidence.'
About twenty yards away from their destination, they heard the fimiliar sound of a helicopter, and snapped their heads up to see Drakkens helicopter flying high above them, and, strangly, it flew directly above the complex before them, and hovered there for a few moments, before they saw the helicopter door open, as Dr. Drakken himself, in all his blue skinned glory, dropped a glowing, metallic orb on top of the building itself.
Kim saw it only two seconds before it happened.
There was a bright light, and the building erupted in a large blossem of orange flame, the force of the explosion sending Kim and Ron sailing through the air. They landed on their backs, skidding across the ground, but Kim quickly got to her feet, and charged towards the smoking complex. Ron, with a bit more difficulty, also forced himself to his feet, and took off towards his girlfriend.
The rope ladder descended from the helicopter, with Drakken and Shego already flying down it. Shego hit the ground running, and Drakken waited for her at the ladder, as the black-haired woman grabbed the disc from its pedestal. She charged back towards Drakken and the ladder, when-
WHAM!
Shego felt a burning pain in her side, as she flew across the room, crashing into the wall, while the disc fell to the ground. Dazed, she looked up, only to see that red-haired brat, smiling slyly.
"Kim Possible!" Drakken cried, enraged.
"And don't forget me!" Ron exclaimed as he steped out from behind some debris of the building.
"Ah, yes." Drakken grinned mockingly. "The Padawan. How could I ever forget him?"
"You're right, you couldn't." Ron beamed, not noticing the sarcasm in Drakkens voice. Suddenly, he brought his hand up to his chin, thinking. "You know, I just realised something. Whenever all of us are racing after something, we always end up getting there at the same time. Now, isn't that something?"
Drakken pondered this. "You know, the buffoon has a point.
Kim groaned. "So not the time, Ron!"
Ron snapped back to reality. "Oh, yeah. Sorry, KP." And he charged for the disc, pushing Drakken out of his way. About a metre away from the disc, Shego jumped in front of him, blocking his way. She grinned.
"Oh, sorry!" She mocked. "You can't take this without asking, can you?"
"Nope." Ron grinned. "But he can." And he pointed to Rufus, who grabbed the disc between his mouth.
"Argh!" Shego snarled, turning around, and making a grab for the naked mole rat. Rufus jumped out of the way, and ran through her legs, scurrying up his owners body and onto his shoulder, smiling proudly.
Shego, enraged, turned back towards Ron, only to be kicked in the chest by his shoe. She was sent spinning to the ground, and Ron pumped his fist in the air.
"Boo-yah!" He exclaimed happily as Rufus handed him the disc, before charging towards Kim. The couple sprinted down the hallway of the building, or what remained of the hallway, and Kim smiled at him.
"You weren't bad back there." She complimented.
"Heh." He grinned proudly as he ran. "I do what I can." They had just reached the entrance of the complex when Shego, fists ablaze, jumped in from on top of the building and in front of them, glaring.
"Any idea how she does that?" Ron asked, before the Raven-haired woman attacked.
Kim pushed her boyfriend out of the way, and blocked the attack. Shego launched another punch, but Kim ducked and brought her feet to Shegos chest. She was sent sailing back, and skidded across the cold, hard ground. She brought herself up, now furious, and once again attacked Kim.
Ron, was about to help Kim fight Shego, when he felt the ground beneath him give away. He hit the ground painfully, and looked up to see Drakken, disc in hand, grinning evilly.
"Have a nice trip, see ya next summer!" The Doctor mocked.
Ron shook his head. "That's not how it goes!"
Drakken glared. "I know you are, but what am I?"
"Dude, that doesn't even make sense!" He cried, but Drakken only grinned, before taking off towards his escape helicopter, back in the building.
Ron was about to follow him, when he saw Kim get punched in the face by Shegos fist. She flew to the ground painfully, and Ron started towards her.
"No!"
Ron stopped as he heard Kims voice. He looked at her, and she looked at him.
"Ron, you have to stop Drakken! I'll handle Shego!" He looked into her eyes. "Go, Ron!"
His mind screamed at him to help her, but when he saw Kims pleading, green eyes, he made up his mind. He pulled Rufus out of his pocket.
"Rufus, look after Kim." He commanded, and the naked mole rat gave a firm nod, as he scampered out of Rons hand, toawrds Kim and Shego. Seeing this, Ron took after Drakken, and only hoped that he wasn't too late.
Drakken himself was almost at the rope ladder coming down from the helicopter, and Ron knew he would never catch up to him unless he did something.
So he did the only thing he could think of.
He took off his shoe, and threw it.
Just as Drakken reached the ladder, he turned around to mock the blonde haired teenager that was following him.
He never expected to be hit in the face by Stoppables shoe.
By instinct, he dropped the disc and brought his hands up to his aching nose. Ron finally caught up and fplew at him, sending them both to the ground. They rolled and rolled around the room, throwing blind punches at each other. Finally, Drakkens fist connected with Rons face, and he stumbled back painfully into the wall.
And it just so happens, that there was a ripped apart electricity wire directly behind him, which he fell into.

Shego was beating Kim mercilessly, landing kicks and punches on Kims already bruised body, and all Rufus could do was watch. Finally, after getting thrown to the ground by Shego one last time, Kim jumped out of the way of another punch, and brought her leg out to her side, and was happy to find that it connected with Shegos chest. The black-haired woman fell to the ground, surprised, and when she looked back up, she saw Kim, with her brilliant red hair flying in the wind.
"Shego, stop." She said firmly.
Her voice was so confident that Shego obeyed, but stayed alert.
"You have to tell someone."
Kim saw the flame in Shegos hand flicker, and then go out completely. "What?" She asked quietly, but she knew exactly what Kim meant.
"You're holding something, Shego. I don't know if it's a secret, or something else, but you have to tell someone, to get that weight off your shoulders." She looked into Shegos eyes. "Whatever you're holding is eating you up. You're fighting a losing battle, and if you don't tell someone, trust someone, you're gonna snap."
Shego looked back at her nemesis, and didn't see any resemblance of mockery, but saw only her big, emerald eyes.
"Tell Drakken. He's always there for you, Shego." She let out a weak laugh, and a smile crept onto her lips. "Just like someone I know..." She whispered, but then got back to the point. "He's like a father to you. He cares about you, just like Ron cares for me."
At that moment, Shego considered telling everyone. She considered telling Kim what was hurting her, and then her side-kick, then Drakken, and even the mole rat. She wanted to so badly to let it out, but her pride got the better of her, and with all the power she had, she kicked Kim in the chest. She mut have poured all her emotions into that kick, because Kim went flying, flying...
Over the mountains edge.
She threw out a blind hand, and grabbed a tree root growing from the face of the cliff wall. Shego glared at her, as it started to rain.
"Sorry to leave you hanging Kimmie, but I have to go." She was about to turn away when she heard Kims words, loud and clear.
"I'm sorry, Shego."
Shego finally tore her face away from the teenager, and was glad it was raining.
No one could see her tears.

ZAAAAAP!
Electricity coursed through Rons body, opening up cuts from underneath his skin. Pain streaked through him, but luckily, the voltage of the elecricity wasn't high, and when it finally stopped, Ron was numb with pain. He finally brought himself up, and remembered where he was, and why he was there.
With horror, he looked up.
Drakkens helicopter was a tiny speck in the distance, and Ron could feel the hurt of Drakkens laughing, he could feel the hurt of being called a buffoon at this time and place, and he could definatly fell the hurt of failure at retreiving the disc.
Suddenly, Rufus sprinted into the room, chattering wildly, trying to tell him something.
"Whoa, whoa, buddy!" He tried to calm the mole rat down. "What is it!"
"Kim! Kim!" Rufus squeaked urgently, and Ron remembered.
The last part of the dream...
A look of pure horror formed on Rons face as he grabbed Rufus in his hand and bolted towards the entrance of the building.
"KIM!"
He reached the cliff edge and frantically searched around. He looked wildly, until he found what he had dreaded.
"KIM!"
His girlfriend was hanging by a tree root along the face of the cliff wall.
He threw himself down on the wet, cold ground as he reached his hand out for her to grab. Kim grabbed his hand, and felt him pulling, with all his might, but the electricity that had shockedhim earliar had drained him of his strength. But still he pulled, not caring about anything but helping his loved one.
Kim looked into his straining eyes, and saw hurt, love, and fear all crushed in together, and soon realised that everytime Ron tried to pull her up, he got closer to the cliff edge.
Which meant she could only do one thing.
"Ron."
Kims whisper stopped Ron, and he looked into Kims brilliant, green eyes. And she said the one thing, the one thing that Ron didn't catch in his dream, not too long ago.
"I love you, Ronald Stoppable. I love you with all my heart, and no matter what happens, I will always love you. Even if I die here, I'll be with you. Never. Forget. That." And she let go of his hand.
Those beautiful, emerald eyes looked back at him, as she fell down into the misty grave below.
Please, do NOT send me Hate reveiws, because Kim does NOT die. You might as well know that now, as how she survives is going to be the first thing that I write in the next chapter. So please, R&R, but no Hate.
