Chapter 5: A Hero can Save us.
Middleton Hospital
Kim awoke in the hospital bed; doctors and nurses went over her vitals and pulled out her feeding tube. Kim groggily looked around, she saw her parents standing over her "Hey Kimmie-cub" Her father said, tears falling from his eyes.
"Dad, where's Ron?" Kim was still groggy and tired; her parents looked to her right. Kim rolled her head to see what they were looking at. There in the other bed, lay Ron Stoppable, who was also awake and looked at Kim.
Tears were visible in both their eyes "hey KP" Ron had tears running down his cheek, as did Kim. "I though I lost you Ron" Kim cried. "I thought I lost you Kim" Ron cried back. It was a touching moment for their parents to watch.
Kim began to sit up a little, Ron did the same, while they were both weak, they wanted to be with each other as they reached out and pulled each of their beds close together, moving the end table out of the way.
Kim and Ron held each other in a hug, tears flowing down both teens faces. Soon they pulled back realizing their parents were still in the room. "Where is Vin? He was the reason I was able to get through this" Kim wiped her eyes, Ron stared back at her "You too?" he asked.
Suddenly it all came back to the two "You mean you had the same dream?" Kim asked; Ron nodded his head slowly. Mr. Possible walked to the end table and picked the letter up.
"He wanted you two to read this, for when you woke up. He said it would explain everything" Kim's dad had tears in his eyes as he handed Kim the letter. Confused Kim opened it and she and Ron began to read:
Dear Kim and Ron,
I'm writing this letter to you so you understand why I had to do what I did. That fateful day in the warehouse, Drakken purposely kept me away from you two when he ordered Shego and Killigan to bring the roof above you down. He wanted to break me by having me watch my two closest friends and partners get crushed and possibly killed. He wanted me to hang it up, to just leave.
What happened to you two was because of me, I can't forgive myself for that. But I can prevent them from trying this again, because as you read this I am currently making Drakken, Shego, Killigan, Monkey Fist, and Frugal Lugar pay severely for what they have done to you and for what they have put me through.
Siv Vis Parcem, Para Bellum
It's Latin, and it's my battle cry for what has turned into all out war
I hope you two can understand why I did what I did. I never want Drakken or anyone else to try this with you two again.
Please forgive me,
I'll be waiting for you two from the other side
Sincerely
Vin
If You Want Peace, Prepare For War
Kim and Ron's eyes filled with tears as they finished reading the letter. Ron and Kim hugged each other, for they knew what Vin was doing, and they knew the outcome as much as they didn't want to believe it.
He is going to get himself killed to save us.
Mr. and Mrs. Possible comforted the teens. "Vin is a strong person guys, he'll be just fine. Don't worry about it." The teens looked at her "How could you be so sure?" Kim sobbed. "He came in here before when Wade told him something happened to you two" Mr. Possible continued "He came running up here looking like his normal self" "But in reality he Ran up here with two broken ribs, I've never seen someone run with two broken ribs, ever" Kim and Ron were realizing what they were saying "Trust us, He'll be fine" Mr. and Mrs. Possible left to allow the two get some rest. While reassured by Kim's parents, the two still cried themselves to sleep that night, worrying about their partner.
Upperton Warehouse
Vin stood outside the door to the warehouse, the rain drenching him to the bone. A fitting end to this hell he has gone through these past 4 days.
I am so High I can here ever
He stepped in the warehouse, the pain coming back. Drakkens goons surrounded him, shock sticks at the ready. Vin smiled and Raised the Thompson
Over Heaven,
No Heaven Done in me
The goons fell to the ground, Vin stepped around them and Saw Drakken and Shego standing there waiting for him. "Well, I see you found a slight flaw in my Plan" Drakken spoke with unusual confidence "It's over Drakken" Vin leveled the Thompson in Drakken "Oh I think not" The Floor opened up and hundreds of Synthodrones surrounded him "There is no escape now Agent Vin, You will Die here as will your Partners in Middleton Hospital"
And they say That A Hero Can Save Us
I'm Not gonna Stand here and Waaiiiitttt
Vins eyes filled with tears and anger, He turned to the nearest Drone and opened up, and a combination of the Thompson's fire and Vin screaming filled the empty Warehouse
Some one told me Love would all save us
But how could that be, look what love gave us
World full of Killing, and blood spilling
That world never caaammmmeee
One by one the drones fell, soon it was just Vin, Shego and Drakken standing there. Vin popped off the empty Drum and quickly replaced it with a fresh one.
Before He could cock the gun and fire it, Shego struck him in the chest with another pipe. Vin fell to the floor, the Thompson skittering away from his grasp. Shego Thrust the Pipe down at Vin catching his side, ripping his flesh. Vin screamed in pain, looking down at the right side of his chest. Not life threatening yet, but he would loose a lot of blood.
"Face it Vin, Its over! You Lost! You're partners are going to die in vain because of you!" Drakken laughed as Shego brought the same pipe across Vins face, snapping his head to his side with shocking speed. Vin collapsed to the floor. Shego continued her assault beating Vin in the back and legs with the Pipe.
And they say That A Hero Can Save Us
I'm Not gonna Stand here and Waaiiiitttt
Vin spit up blood and rolled over to his back, staring at his assailants. The Rage was still in his eyes "Well now, resilient aren't we? No matter, Once I press this button, your friends will die. And it will be because of you, Their death will be on your hands" Drakken started to go press the button when he heard something that made him stop. A sound he thought he wouldn't hear, the sound of Laughter.
I hold on to the Wings of the Eagles
Watch as they all fly awayyyyyyy
He turned back to look at Vin, who was slowly trying to stand up, laughing through all the pain he was in "What the hell is so funny?" Drakken demanded, signaling Shego to move in.
"The only deaths that are my hands are those of Killigan, and Monkey Fist. You and Shego are about to join them" Vin brought his left hand up, revealing his Colt .45 which he fired, blasting off Drakkens left hand, the hand that was going to push the button. Shego went it to attack, But Vin was still quicker than her shooting her in both kneecaps, dropping her to the floor.
Vin slowly made his way to the console, grabbing the Thompson off the ground. Lugar hid behind some boxes, he watched the whole thing. He had a large butcher knife in his hands, waiting for Vin to turn his back on him. When Vin slowly went to the console to get the disk Lugar made his move, quickly and quietly sneaking up on the 'would be' hero.
Just when he was 5 feet from him he yelled out "Goodbye Hero!" Bringing the knife in a position to bring it across Vins skull, but Vin knew he was there and quickly spun around to face Lugar with Thompson gun ready.
Lugar stopped dead in his tracks, death stared him in the face "No Hero is going to save you now Lugar" Vin Mocked, Lugar started to plead his case "No, wait you see they made me do it! They did it" Lugar never finished, Vin let the Thompson gun do the talking. 45 caliber rounds tore Lugar to pieces, he fell to the floor a bloody mass.
Vin turned back to the console and grabbed the disk and Flung it in the air. A mobile target as he fired at the disk, blasting it to pieces while it was flying over the rubble of the incident 4 days ago. Vin then fired into the machines ensuring they couldn't broadcast any signal to any kind of equipment.
He grabbed Frugal Lugar's Knife and went to Drakken. "You know Drakken? You and your companions may have succeeded in killing me, then again maybe you didn't. But you will never have the chance to Kill anyone, ever again." Vin Brought the Knife down hard and fast, the razor sharp blade sliced through Drakkens leg. Not completely cutting it off, but cutting enough to get the main artery, a death warrant unless quickly healed.
Shego tried to muster enough strength to hit Vin with a plasma Burst but Vin brought the Thompson up in one hand and fired, cutting through Shegos' Wrist, ending her chances to attack.
Vin slowly made his way over to her, shoving the dying Drakken to the ground. "As for you, you plasma shooting bitch, you are going to die as well. It was you who enjoyed hurting Kim and Ron so much, I think I'll kill you the third worst way I know"
Shego glared at Vin, anger in her eyes "Why don't go to hell you fucking loser!" Vin shook his head and quickly brought the knife up, slicing Shegos throat.
Her one good had went to cover the wound but it was hopeless, in a few minutes of struggling for air she would die like the rest of them "Never underestimate that which you don't understand Shego." Vin pushed her down and watched her flop around like a fish out of water, soon they were all dead. All that was left was one, the so called hero, the one to save them all.
Now that the world isn't ending
It's Love that I'm sending to yoouuu
Vin looked up through the whole in the roof, and fell to his knees as he felt the rain hit his face Its done Kim and Ron, you are safe now.
It isn't the Love of a Hero
And that's why I fear it won't dooo
Vin grabbed his side, the pain came back to him, and he lost a good amount of blood. He wasn't sure if he would survive the drive back, until a voice came to him "Vin! Come to us! We need you here!"
Vin looked toward the source of the voice, where he saw Kim and Ron, standing there in an almost dream like quality. Both of them were crying "Come on Vin we need you here at the Hospital, Don't Give up!"
Vin saw them fade out, it wasn't real, but its message was. He grunted as he forced himself to his feet "I'm coming guys, I'm coming"
And they say That A Hero Can Save Us
I'm Not gonna Stand here and Waaiiiitttt
I hold on to the Wings of the Eagles
Watch as they all fly awayyyyyyyy
Middleton Hospital
Kim woke up, it was raining out. She still worried about their friend, who was out there fulfilling what he felt was the right thing to do.
Kim looked over at Ron and whispered "Ron, you still awake?" Ron shifted around "Yeah Kim, guess you can't stop thinking about Vin either." Ron sat up to look at Kim, the room was lit only by the glow of the machines they were on.
"I just can't believe that he cared that much about us to put his own life on the line, to protect us from something like this happening again." Kim had a worried look on her face that Ron shared. Just when Ron was about to speak they heard the Hospital PA come on
"Dr. Possible to the main entrance on the double, we have a priority code red, Dr. Possible to the main entrance!" There was a sudden sinking feeling in the teens as they saw Kim's mother rush toward the elevator.
Middleton Hospital Main Entrance
Vin pulled the car to a stop with the last amount of strength he had in him. He was pale in color from the amount of blood he lost, not to mention the two ribs and god knows what other injuries he sustained.
He opened the door and proceeded to the front of the hospital "I'm here guys, I made it….For you"
Vin got to the doors and collapsed to the ground spitting out more blood"I'm here for you…." Vin whispered as everything around him went Black.
Kim and Ron sat in their beds, anxious as to what was going on, Mr. Possible joined the two waiting, and he left the door open. They heard the elevator open "Get him into the OR stat, we don't have much time!" Kim's mother yelled "He lost so much blood, how could anyone still be alive?" a Nurse cried.
The OR was down the hall, Kim and Ron would see who it was in a matter of seconds praying it wasn't their friend. The Stretcher came into view, Oh God no.
Kim and Ron felt their hearts sink, the tears came to their eyes yet again. Vin was on the stretcher, and He looked bad. Mr. Possible Dashed out to go help his wife, leaving the two teens alone with their grief. They embraced in a hug, and started crying again fearing that their friend had died saving them.
"Pull through Vin, we need you" Kim cried as she buried her head into Ron's shoulder. "Its ok Kim, Vin's tough, he will pull through this" Ron said trying to believe his own words.
The two looked toward the door in the direction Vin went, thinking the same thing.
Thank you Vin, thank you for everything
4 Days later
Vin awoke in a hospital bed, he was groggy from the drugs he was on, although he was happy to
notice there was no feeding tube down his throat.
"Hey Sleepy head" Vin knew that voice, he looked to his left. There stood Kim and Ron, both smiling at him, all he could do was smile back. Tears came to his eyes "I thought I'd never see you two again" Vin wiped the tears from his eyes.
Mrs. Possible came in with a tray of Hospital food "You're awake finally, there were some moments there we thought we lost you." She set the tray down across Vins lap
"You had two broken ribs from before, a bad laceration to your side from the pipe, some minor internal bleeding around your kidneys and stomach, we had to remove your appendix and what else? Oh yeah a dislocated shoulder and fractured leg" Vin looked stunned as he sat up to start to eat
"How was I able to make it here then? I only remember walking to the car, and then rushing up to the Hospital. Everything between then is a blank?" Mrs. Possible shook her head looking at the two teens by Vins side
"I have some Idea of what kept you going" Vin looked confused, then it dawned on him what she meant, looking at his two friends. Mrs. Possible smiled "I'll leave you three alone" Vins face soon became the look of regret.
"Guys, I'm sorry for what has happened to you it was" Ron cut him off before he could finish
"Dude, we know already and regardless of what you think it wasn't your fault that that happened to us, it was Drakken trying to get rid of us once and for all. Which I am pleased to say Failed" Kim smiled at that, same old Ron after all that.
"So you know about, my…..um……retribution?" Vin couldn't think of a good word to use for what he did, nor could he still bring himself to say it was the right thing to do.
"While it was harsh, we could understand why you did it, and I would have done the same if it happened to either you or Ron" Kim looked at Ron who nodded in agreement. "But for the next time, don't get so crazy like you did, that was creepy" Kim shivered finishing that sentence.
"Wait, did Wade tell you what I did to them?" Vin couldn't believe he was asking this, the 10 year old couldn't have the stomach to tell them in detail "Actually he showed us. He recorded the whole thing" Vin got a very nervous and awkward look on his face
"Ooo, I didn't want anyone to actually see that" Vin rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Yeah, it was beyond scary. Especially what happened to Monkey Fist and Killigan." Ron got a sick look on his face thinking about those two.
"I'm sorry you had to see a side of me that I never wanted anyone to see, let alone bring out" Vin hung his head figuring they didn't want to be around someone who could be that ruthless. Kim placed her hand on his shoulder
"Hey, it's not your fault. Just be glad that they can't try something this sinister again." Vin looked up to Kim "Thanks Kim, you and Ron are true friends. I promise that I will never let that person I was during my vengeance to come out again."
Ron and Kim went and Hugged him. "Hey, we are a team. Nothing can stop us. We're Unstoppable!" Ron cheered, all Vin and Kim could do was laugh. "Besides guys, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger" Vin and Ron agreed with that.
Vin held his fist straight out "Can I get a BooYa?" Ron brought his fist to Vins, as did Kim "BooYa!" "BooYa!" Vin smiled "BooYa!"
The End
--
This was typed up as I was listening to Nicklebacks A Hero can Save us, it was a fitting last confrontation song in the last battle that Vin was in.
To get into the mood I suggest listening to the song if you have it. It is a touching way to end a stellar fight.
There you have it. I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed typing it.
Thank you for your support.
