Kim Possible and Street Hawk: Confrontation p 16

Disclaimer: I do not own Kim Possible, Street Hawk or Thunderbirds. Wish I did though.

Battle Outside the Cave and Mole is Go

About that time, Sand Hawk is lowered onto the ground and Kim scurries to release the cables securing it to the helicopter. Once they're released, Kim waves the all clear signal, allowing Hirotaka to winch them back up into the helicopter. As they're winched back up, Kim loads her Beretta and holsters it, remounting Sand Hawk just as armed henchmen come out of the ground and open fire.

Kim snarls as she opens fire with the gatling guns on the roof, tearing the goons to shreds. Out of nowhere comes a van much like the one that shot a missile at War Bird. Bonnie sees this and lets the van have a Maverick missile right in it's grill. The van detonates without delay or launching any missiles. Ron sees his window disappearing and charges into the cave, switching to infrared once inside the cave.

Bonnie sees this and grins, saying, "If anyone's going to be in trouble inside the cave, it's going to be the bird-brain that took the hostage. What the heck? Kim, is that your Dad's car going in behind Ron?"

In disbelief, Kim nods and replies, "Yeah it is. Somehow, Fiske got free from the cuffs and was able to follow Ron here. Shit! I'm taking heavy fire here, War Bird! Need air support to get these bozos off my ass!"

"Copy that, Sand Hawk. When I tell you, take a sharp right and I'll do the rest. Now!" Once Kim is safely out of the way, Bonnie sends a Stinger right into a Vulcan Gatling cannon emplacement. Once the detonation occurs, it causes a massive chain reaction. Underground bunkers are torn to shreds by the explosions and the only shaking is from the explosions. But the damage is already done. The entrance to the cave is sealed up and none of the weapons either vehicle has are able to penetrate the heavy tonnage of stone in front of the cave.

Kim, tears falling from her eyes, removes her helmet and yells, "Ron!" She then goes onto her knees and starts sobbing, not sure if he's still alive in there. Bonnie's so distraught, she lands the helicopter before she breaks down crying. Hirotaka gently grasps Bonnie's shoulder and nods that Ron'll be all right.

When the rotors had stopped, Bonnie and Hirotaka exit the helicopter and go over to Kim. When they get there, Bonnie goes to her knees and says, "I'm sorry, Kim. If I had known what was going to happen, I wouldn't have done it like that."

Kim shakes her head no and replies, "There was no way you could have known what would happen, Bonnie. If you hadn't launched that Stinger, I wouldn't be alive right now. The armor is so badly dented, it was a matter of time before Sand Hawk was destroyed. Me right along with it. Besides, Ron's survived worse before. If he could survive high school, this will be a cake walk to him." She then thinks, 'I hope.'

Meanwhile, Thunderbird 2 drops it's equipment bay. When the doors open, the Mole rolls out, tilts forward and goes into the ground. Inside, Scott and Monique are piloting the vehicle, fully intent on fitting everybody into the vehicle as much as possible. Monique is monitoring the underground sonar, listening for anything strange.

Scott is piloting the machine when Monique says, "Scott, I've got contact. Nine miles away. Sounds like a motorcycle, highly modified. Sounds like Street Hawk has gone underground as well. There also seems to be a car right behind him. Hard to say which one it is, but it's probably Mr. Dr. Possible's car. And I don't think that man's insurance coverage includes underground excursions."

Scott nods and says, "F.A.B., Monique. Let me know when we get close enough to break through the soil into the machine's vicinity."

"F.A.B., Scott."
