Here's the fourth part. I suppose next chapter will end this episode, but not the story of DarKim. I still have a lot to write about it. I know I still didn't explain Drakken's plan, but don't worry, it will be soon revealed… Thank you for reading!
NEMESIS
Fourth Part
(Santiago. Hotel "Sangre de España". Outside, Barkin and the students are going to get on the Buses for their first sightseeing in Santiago. Barkin is controlling all the students are ready to leave.)
Barkin: "Oscar?"
Boy: "Here!"
Barkin: "Oswald?"
Boy #2:" Here!"
Barkin: "Possible?"
(With a pirouette, Kim appears right in front of Barkin, still wearing her battle suit)
Kim: "Here!"
Barkin: "Rockwaller?"
Bonnie: "Here…"
Barkin: "Stoppable?"
(no answer)
Barkin (rising an eyebrow): "… Stoppable?"
(Still no answer. Kim looks around, worried)
Barkin (to Bonnie): "Rockwaller,is this your fault?"
Bonnie (worried): "Actually…"
(Ron falls on the ground right between Barkin and Bonnie, causing a big noise.)
Kim (whispering to Ron): "Where have you been?"
Ron (whispering back): "The parachute got caught in a tree!"
Barkin: "Ah, here you are, Stoppable!"
Ron: "Excuse me for being late, Mr Barkin, but I couldn't find my…"
(Ron notices he left his trousers on the tree with the parachute)
Ron (smiling shamefacedly): "… trousers!"
Barkin (ironic): "…so, you decided to come without them"
(Rufus comes down of the tree, bringing Ron's trousers)
Ron: "Oh, thank you little buddy!"
Barkin: "Stoppable, isn't that your naked mole rat? What is it doing here?"
Ron (back to earth): "Uh-oh… Mr Barkin, I can explain it…"
Barkin: "Yeah, and you'll explain it in a ten-pages essay. As soon as we'll be back to Middleton. Now, we have no time to waste. Let's go."
Ron (to Kim): "I think there's no problem in the world that he can't solve giving an homework!"
(The buses leave, headed to downtown. In that moment, a car arrives, and two scientists come out of it. The fat scientist looks all around, worried, while the thin one is much more easy-going.)
Fat Scient.: "I can't see any anomaly around here!"
Thin Scient.: "Maybe, this means there is no anomaly in here!"
Fat Scient.: "So, it moved! But where?"
Thin Scient.: "I'd need a pc to track its radio waves, so I can't say where it's going."
Fat Scient.: "We'd better find a pc very soon, or we won't be able to prevent it from striking innocent people!"
(The school buses are crossing a bridge suspended on a precipice: infact under the bridge, there are a reef and a river. But nobody seems scared in the buses, 'cause the bridge looks very resistant. The three buses are put in a coloumn, and in the last one Ron and Kim are sat next to each other. Kim looks very frustrated)
Ron: "Uh… KP? What's the matter?"
Kim: "Eh? Oh, no, I'm fine, really. Just thinking about Drakken…"
Ron (easy-going): "I know, I know, I was worried about the Bueno Nacho, too… but it really seems he didn't do anything, so I forgave him, and you should do it too!"
Kim: "Do you REALLY think I'm worried about the Bueno Nacho?"
Ron (looking very comprehensive): "KP, hiding your pain is useless. You should let off steam."
Kim (rolling her eyes): "… Ron…"
(A sudden noise shocks the bus, which starts tottering.)
Ron: "Hey! HEY! What's going on?"
Bus Driver: "Something just hit us!"
Barkin (shocked): "You said we are under attack? EVERYONE RUN ON HIS ACTION STATIONS!"
(The first two buses get through the bridge, but Kim and Ron's one is still on the bridge. Then, suddenly, a light hits the bridge, which cracks right under their bus. Barkin knows exactly what to do.)
Barkin: "EVERYONE: OUT! We have to run at the end of the bridge by foot, 'cause the bus is stopped! Run, run, RUN!"
(Every student runs out of the bus, trying to reach the end of the bridge. Eventually Kim and Ron leave the bus, too, and what they see is a metallic cyborg flying in the air right above them. It has a human-like body, with two metallic arms and two metallic legs. Instead of the eyes it has a red screen. It sees all the students running, but it doesn't even try to hit them.)
Ron (shocked): "What the heck is that?"
Kim (as shocked as Ron): "… have no idea…"
Cyborg: "Anomaly. Find the anomaly."
(While evryone is running, Ron and Kim stand there looking at the strange cyborg. Finally Bonnie comes out of the bus. She is the last student who still hasn't reach the end of the bridge, except Kim and Ron. The cyborg's red eyes starts shining.)
Cyborg: "Detected Anomaly #13: Incorrect human being."
Ron (offended): "Hey!"
Kim (rolling her eyes): "Ron, how can you know it is talking about you?"
Bonnie (from behind them): "Intuition…"
(The cyborg stretches his right arm pointing the three boys, and then it shoots another light)
Kim: "It's a laser! Bonnie move out of here!"
(Kim pushes Bonnie away, but she has no time to evade the laser. A moment before being hit, though, a chessboard interpose between Kim and the laser, diverting it away.)
Chess Boy #3: "Yeah!"
Chess Boy #2: "Great move, man!"
Kim (smiling): "I should really thank them after this will be all over!"
Ron (scared) "Which is not NOW!"
(The laser diverted hits the bridge right under Bonnie's running feet. She falls down in the precipice, screaming. Kim tries to reach her, but the cyborg shoots her another laser, and she is forced to evade it, which prevents her from hepling Bonnie. So, Ron goes to save Bonnie in her place, runs and jumps off the bridge.)
Kim: "Ron!"
(Ron splashes in the river, disappearing from Kim's eyes. The cyborg is still there, still targeting Kim. The bridge now is cracked, and Kim can't reach the end of it, where everybody is. She is alone against that huge cyborg. Which seems to want her dead.)
Kim: "Sooo… I am the incorrect human being, ain't I?"
Cyborg: "You. Anomaly."
Kim (offended): "Not even Dr Drakken ever called me like that!"
(Kim shoots the ciborg with her phon-like gun, and she hits it fair and square.)
Cyborg: "System breakdown! System breack…"
(It falls in the precipice. After defeating it, Kim quickly looks in the river, hoping to find Ron and Bonnie swimming in there, somewhere, somehow. But she can't see them.)
Kim (almost crying): "Ron… where are you?"
(A few hours later, on the riverside, far away from the bridge, three wet bodies are resting. Behind them, the river. In front of them, the wood. They are Ron and Rufus, plus Bonnie. She's coughing water.)
Ron (ironic): "I expected you could swim, you know…"
Bonnie (angry): "Look, I joined dance lessons, singing lessons and acting lessons. No time for learning swimming."
Ron: "Yeah… sure! At least, you know I saved your life, don't you?"
Rufus: "Hei!"
Ron: "I mean… WE saved your life…"
Bonnie: "I didn't ask for it. And know what? That won't change the fact you're a loser!"
Ron (standing up): "Fine. I should have known it."
Bonnie: "Where are we?"
Ron: "Don't know."
Bonnie: "So, now what?"
Ron: "Don't know."
Bonnie: "So, are we going to stay here waiting for our death?"
Ron: "Don't know what YOU're going to do, but I'm gonna find my way home. With Rufus."
Bonnie: "You won't leave me alone, will you?"
Ron (depressed): "Why should you want to come with me? I'm a loser, and I'll surely lose my way."
(Bonnie seems surprised.)
Bonnie: "You don't look ironic"
Ron: "I'm not."
Bonnie: "You REALLY think these things of yourself?"
Ron (surprised): "Yeah… you know, after hearing them over and over…"
Bonnie (turning acid as usual): "You're right. You would lose your way."
Ron (offended and a bit depressed): "So…"
Bonnie: "That's why I have to come with you. You'll never make it on your own."
Ron (surprised): "And why should you care?"
Bonnie (showing off): "'Cause my heart is pure. I can't leave you alone."
(They hear a sudden woody noise, and Bonnie screams, scared. Ron smiles slyly without being seen by Bonnie. They walk inside the wood. The sceen moves to the bridge, where Kim is still standing, and looking in the river.)
Kim (talking into the kimunicator): "Wade, as soon as you find something, let me know! I'll be waiting for them here, just in case they manage to return…"
Wade: "Don't worry, Kim! We'll find them."
Kim (worried, with a crying voice): "Wade, do you think they're alive…?"
Wade: "Of course! Ron is with Bonnie!"
Kim: "It's Ron I'm worried about, Wade! Keep on searching"
Wade: "Right!"
(Barkin approaches Kim)
Barkin (comprehensive): "Possible, we called the police. They'll be here in a few minutes, and will look for Stoppable and Rockwaller. Now come with me. There's nothing else we can do for them…."
Kim (inexpressive): "I won't move from here"
(Two men arrives on the bridge. Kim and Barkin turn their head, and what they see are the fat and the thin scientists we already know. Kim rises her eyebrow)
Fat Scient.: "I said we needed a pc, but I didn't mean you had to steal one!"
Thin Scient.: "Listen, I had to: without that pc I couldn't localize the cyborg and deactivate it."
Kim: "And who are you? You did deactivate the cyborg? I think we owe you our life…"
Barkin: "You don't look like police men"
Thin Scient.: "Police men? In this white coat? Did you ever see any science fiction movie? Of course we are scientists!"
Fat Scient.: "Ok, I think you're giving away too much info…"
Thin Scient.: "Oh, come on, she's is Kim Possible. She can keep a secret. And afterall she deserves to know, after being attacked by our device!"
Kim: "You… you know me? And that cyborg was yours?"
Thin scient. (becoming serious): "Of course we know you. You're a famous heroine, and we were almost going to call you to find our cyborg… But you did it on your own… About the device, it was our "Anomalyzer"."
Barkin: "What an odd name for a killer cyborg!"
Fat Scient.: "Is this your sidekick, Ron Stoppable?"
Kim: "Not at all! He's my teacher"
Fat Scient.: "So, he shouldn't listen to what we have to say!"
Thin Scient.: "Oh, stop being so pedant…"
Kim: "Who are you?"
Thin Scient.: "I'm Dr Skip Shod. And he's my colleague Dr Pete Dant."
Barkin (in a whisper): "Slipshod and pedant?"
Kim: "Nice to meet you. But why did your anomalyzer attack me?"
Pete: "We built it to find the anomalies in our world. It exchanged you for an anomaly, and so it tried to destroy you…"
Skip: "Pete, I think you're going too fast. They don't even know what an anomaly is."
Pete (looking at Kim and Barkin): "You know it, don't you?"
(Kim and Barkin look at each other. They both shrug.)
Skip: "As I thought. You have to know that the anomaly is a recent scientific discovery, made by me and Pete. Indeed, we're waiting for the nobel…"
Pete: "We live in a very scientific world. Science surely brings more comfort, but it can bring troubles, too."
Barkin: "Troubles?"
Skip: "Yes. Troubles like the anomalies. There are about 30 kind of anomaly. Human being anomaly, time anomaly, space anomaly…"
Pete: "The Anomalyzer was built to destroy this anomaly, since they could be very dangerous for our world. And it found an anomaly in YOU, miss Possible."
Kim: "What?"
Skip: "Anomaly #13: incorrect human being, to say precisely."
Kim: "Why should I be an incorrect human being? What's wrong with me?"
Barkin: "You're always late at school! I knew there was a reason for that!"
Pete: "Well, it could be that you're a being who should not be. OR maybe that there's something missing in you. Or maybe the Anomalyzer made a mistake. It's hard to know."
Kim: "I can't believe it! I'm just an average teen girl!"
Skip: "… who saves the world and does her homeworks in the same time with no problems."
Barkin: "Actually, I'd have an objection about this…"
(The Kimunicator beeps. Kim asnwers it)
Wade: "I know what's the anomaly they found in you, Kim!"
Skip: "What's that thing she's talking to?"
Pete: "It seems an advanced device used as a comunicator…"
Kim: "Really, Wade? What is it?"
Wade (looking very proud of himself): "Remember DarKim?"
