Kim lit her hands, and stepped just over the rise. She turned to the left, and let loose with a beam of plasma into the CeCes. She turned in an arc to the right, and stopped the beam a hundred eighty degrees from where she started.
A second later, dozens of CeCes exploded, in an area fifteen deep around them. But more surged towards them.
Kim took several more steps down the hill into the cleared area, the rest of the team behind her.
Ron took off, brandishing the Lotus Blade. He leaped into the surrounding CeCes, and began to swing it at them. Again, nothing could even slow him down. The blade sliced robots in two, took off limbs and heads.
The CeCes lobbed plasma balls at him, but he quickly changed the Blade into a shield and warded them off, or turned on his battle suit's force field.
Using super speed, one of the CeCes came up behind and grabbed him, trying to crush him in its arms. Ron used the Mystical Monkey Power and Tai Sheng Pek Quar, quickly sending the offending unit crashing into others.
He was quickly surrounded by more, and they created plasma balls as one. Ron turned in a circle, then slipped on a patch of sand, falling on his back just as the plasma balls were released. They flew across and destroyed the CeCe standing opposite.
"Nice work, Ron. Clumsy much?" asked Bonnie with a smirk. She offered a hand.
"Hey, it worked didn't it?" he replied, taking it and standing up.
A CeCe tried to hit Bonnie while her back was turned, but Tara was there. She grabbed the arm and tore it off, then slammed the robot in the head with it. Its head flew off, flying into the distance, and the body fell, electricity arcing.
"Better keep your mind on what you're doing," said Tara, softly, dropping the arm.
"Uh, right. Thanks, Tara," Bonnie replied.
Yori was keeping another bunch of robots busy. They could see the effects of her fans, but could not find her. She kept moving, changing direction at random so they could not get a 'fix' on her.
She would duck and slice legs out from under them, then turn and slice off heads. The robots were confused, and milling about trying to find her at random.
A tiny speaker in her hood gave a warning bell that power for her stealth mode was dwindling rapidly. She lept over several CeCes and onto a boulder standing several feet taller than them. Crouching down, she turned off the stealth mode.
Looking around she found a group that was facing away from her, and not part of the ones trying to find her. She readied her fans, and leaped on them, tearing slices through the cloth-covered metal of their bodies. She destroyed more than a dozen before they were able to center on her.
Tara and Bonnie were back to back, surrounded by CeCes who had given them a respectably wide birth.
"Destroy them," said many CeCes at once. But they had learned their lession with Ron's fall-down manoever. Two of them created plasma balls, and launched them toward the pair. The young heroes raised their hands, and the "jai-alai" gloves appeared. They each caught a plasma ball, and returned them to the thickest part of the group of robots.
There were two rather satisfying explosions, and many of them fell, never to rise again.
Four of the CeCes ran at Yori, arms raised to grab her and tear her apart. She jumped straight up into the air, and the four crashed together. Yori came down fans first, and sliced them to pieces.
Kim saw another low hill above the CeCes, and jumped onto it. She looked around, and all she could see to the horizon were green and black clad robots. They had destroyed hundreds, maybe thousands, but many more than that still remained.
"Give up, Kim Possible," said one of the CeCes, "You cannot win. There are only five of you against 16,459 of us remaining."
Kim was tired, but that kind of talk just made her more determined than ever. "Here's my answer," she said, and blasted the robot.
Just then she noticed a commotion far away. There were hovering craft in the distance, with people swarming down lines, firing weapons as they did. Kim recognized the craft and uniforms as GJ issue. She grinned. The calvary had come at last.
"If you surrender now, we will grant you and your companions a merciful death," said another CeCe, gaining her attention.
Kim lost her grin. "Okay, that's it," she growled to the unit. "I've had enough."
"You give up, then?" asked the CeCe.
"The only thing I'm giving up is wasting any more time with you," she answered. She pulled out her Kimmunicator, and hit a special button. This connected her to the other four team members, overriding anything they may have been doing on their own coms.
"This is Kim. Hit the deck, NOW!" she ordered.
Ron, Tara, Yori, and Bonnie quit fighting, and lay down very quickly. The CeCes around them stopped, the illogic of the move freezing them for the moment. But it wouldn't last long. Whatever Kim was going to do, she needed to do it quickly.
Kim raised her arms, and green plasma burst around her. She closed her eyes and concentrated,
building up power.
The CeCes around her stood and stared at her, unsure of what to do.
A blast of plasma suddenly radiated from Kim in all directions save up and down. It spread out rapidly, engulfing the robots. Every one it touched was destroyed. Kim was left at a ground zero of sizzling metal and burning cloth. It had been tricky, getting the plasma to burn out before it reached the GJ agents, but she managed.
She had deliberately spared the last CeCe that had talked to her, and she now looked at that unit. "How many of you are left now?" she asked it.
After a moments pause, the CeCe answered, "214."
"Thank you," said Kim, and blasted it. "But it's 213 now," she corrected.
She jumped off the hill, and joined the other members of her team, who had stood up and were surveying the battlefield.
"You okay?" she asked them, hugging Ron.
"Yeah, KP, we're all fine. What about you?" he asked.
"Tired, but I'll make it," she answered. "Now, let's go finish this before GJ gets here to spoil the fun."
She turned and walked toward the mountain, still a kilometer in the distance. The others looked at each other, and at Kim's retreating back, and followed her.
They finally stood at the tall steel doors of the lair. They were closed tight. Kim placed her hands against them where they joined, and fired up the plasma. She started pushing against them, the strain becoming greater as she tried harder. The plasma glowed brighter.
The other members of Team Possible leaned against the doors to either side of her, and helped push. A metallic creaking could be heard, slowly growing louder.
Minutes of straining later, they felt something give, and the doors flew inward, crashing against the walls they were attached to. They looked into the cavernous room to find more CeCes waiting for them.
"Oh, wonderful," muttered Bonnie.
But Kim was no longer in a mood to play. She spread her arms, and a blast of plasma erupted from her entire body. It filled the room, destroying uncounted robots as they melted and shorted out and were blown apart.
The other members of Team Possible stood with their mouths open.
"Go, KP," said Ron, eyes wide as he stared at his wife-to-be.
She strode forward, using her plasma to blast the remains of the CeCes out of her path as she approached the closed doors on the other side of the room. A sign above read "Control Room".
She arrived, still studying the doors. Then she ignited the plasma over her body, and set herself.
"HeeYAH!" she shouted, kicking the doors with all her might.
