This is the end, beautiful friend, the end.
Sorry I was listening to the Doors today, but it rings true.
This is the final chapter in the struggle with the car, but that is not to say that the story is over.
Not in the least, I still have one more chapter to write after this one. And then I focus on the sequel, my other fanfic (Way of the Badge if any are interested) and get to work on my newest KP/crossover idea. At least one person attempted this crossover, but it hasn't been updated in over a year. I hope to get the feel of this crossover right, but we'll see how it goes. (Still in the development stages)
Now let's finish this horror filled carnage of a story the way all stories should end.
With a mind bogglingly huge Explosion!
The Car Comes to Middleton
Chapter 9
Click, Click, BOOM
Ron rapidly approached the fork in the road; if he went left he would lead the Car up to the team setting up the trap. If he went right he would lead the Car into the gorge, leaving them and it 500 feet below the team setting up the explosives.
Ron really didn't have a choice in the matter, and he knew it.
The team above wasn't ready in any sense for them to be there this early, so leading the Car up there would effectively be signing their death warrants.
Ron leaned gently to the right, going down the right branch.
The Car naturally followed them down the path, leaving Dr. Director and her crew a free shot to join the rest in setting the explosives.
Ron looked at the road ahead of him, through the dim light of the bikes headlights he could see that there would be a problem.
The dirt road was full of ruts and ditches, not the ideal conditions for a sport bike to be on.
Ron gritted his teeth as he started to slow down.
"Kim, hold on! It's going to get a little bumpy!" Ron called back to Kim.
He felt her grip on him tighten, and under different circumstances he would be enjoying it.
But he had to concentrate on not hitting a rut at a speed that would send them both off of the bike.
Behind them the Car closed in, it didn't have to slow down on the road. But it never missed an opportunity to mess with people before their untimely death.
The Car gradually accelerated till its massive bumpers were mere inches from the bikes rear tire.
Kim glanced back, hoping to see the Car at least a good 5 feet behind them.
But all she saw was its monstrous front grille as it inched closer to the bike.
The Car's front bumper touched the rear tire of the bike, not enough to send them flying, but enough that they knew he was there.
Ron felt the bike shift a little bit, he guessed what it was but wanted to check on Kim, as her life was basically in his hands.
"What was that Kim?"
"It's the Car, he's hitting us!" Kim cried, she gripped Ron tighter as they approached the gorge.
Ron wanted to say something to Kim about her grip, as he was having some problems breathing.
But decided against it, he'd rather have Kim crush him than be crushed by a demonic Car.
Drakken watched as Stoppable led the Car into the gorge,
The buffoon is smarter than he looks, that'll buy us a good 3 minutes
He already informed the other 2 agents to start running the wires to the detonators, now he had to check that he covered all of the areas that needed to be.
If he missed one spot, there was a chance that the rock fall would miss an area and potentially allow the Car to escape.
Shego soon joined him on the far side of the ridge.
"I got all five on this section all wired up and ready, how many are left to be wired?" Shego panted, trying to catch her breath.
Drakken scribbled in the dirt as he did the math in his head.
"Twenty, maybe less" Drakken surmised as he watched Dr. Director pull up.
"Tell them to forget their explosives, we need everyone to start wiring the explosives. By the looks of it we only have about 2 minutes" Drakken said grimly as he watched the bike race around the gorge, with the Car right behind them.
Please, let this invention actually work
The gorge was surprisingly barren, no trees or shrubs.
Just dirt and rock
"We have a lot of room to maneuver Ron" Kim said from behind Ron.
Ron nodded, this would allow them to toy with the Car while the team got ready above.
Ron accelerated up a dirt mound, the back tire kicking dust up in the Car's path.
Kim nudged Ron on the shoulder and pointed down and to their right.
Ron quickly glanced at where she was pointing and saw the Car.
Apparently it decided to take the low road and cut them off at the pass.
Not gonna happen dude
Ron applied more throttle and accelerated past the Car before it could make its move.
Soon they were approaching the far wall of the gorge, Ron applied the brakes and leaned right.
The bike hit a flat patch of rock and slid sideways. Ron quickly recovered from this unexpected slide and kept the bike upright.
However now they were stopped, facing the way they came.
The Car saw all of this, and decided to stop. It still faced the two teens as it revved its engine.
Ron, not willing to back down from an evil Car squeezed the throttle, revving the bikes engine in response as he faced down the Car.
For what seemed like an eternity to Kim, the two of them stared down each other, waiting for one to make a move.
Kim saw Ron's reflection in the bikes windshield, he had his serious face on.
Kim held Ron close as he blipped the bikes throttle again.
"Ready Kim?"
"Always Ron" Kim replied, her tone was just as serious as his.
Ron kicked the bike into gear as the Car lurched to its side as it revved again.
"Demon Car you are going Down!" Ron screamed as he applied throttle to the bike.
The back tire squealed on the rock and sprung ahead with lightning speed.
The Car also moved to try and knock them off, but the bike was too fast.
They squeezed past the Car before it could cut in front.
The Car soon spun its tires as it whipped around in pursuit of the two.
Drakken had all the wires from the right side of the cliff all set and wired into the central box, which is what they were using as a main detonator.
Shego signaled from the far side of the left ridge that she had almost finished with her half.
"Dr. Director" Drakken called out
"What is it Drakken?"
"Tell Kim Possible we're almost ready, get her out of there"
Kim heard her Kimmunicator go off, she frantically tried to get to it as the sped along the gorge.
"Kim!"
"Dr. Director?" Kim said slightly surprised as she stared at the screen.
"Kim, we're finishing up here, get out of there!"
Kim nodded and switched the Kimmunicator off.
"Did you get that Ron?"
"Loud and clear KP"
Ron made a hard left, pointing the bike towards the way they came in.
But the Car came at them from the left and slid to a stop in front of their escape path.
Ron panicked and turned to the right,
The Bike accelerated up towards the gorge walls, and they couldn't slow down in time.
"Kim, get ready to bail!"
"What?"
"We can't get out of this one, be ready to bail!"
Ron wasn't sure about this, but they didn't have a choice.
He pointed the bike to a rather steep incline against the wall face, the front tire started to lift off the ground as the bike climbed the grade.
"Now Kim!"
Ron and Kim both jumped off the back of the bike as it continued up the incline, It then back flipped when it reached the top and began to tumble down smashing onto the hood of the Car.
The two frantically climbed up the remaining incline till they came to the rock wall.
They looked back down, The Car attempted to drive up after them, but the grade was too steep.
It got stuck as its front end plowed into the dirt.
"Now what Ron?" Kim asked frantically.
Their means of escape lay crumpled at the bottom of the incline, and the Car was there.
"You have the Hair dryer?" Ron asked looking up the wall.
Kim reached into her side pouch, she felt the handle of the hair dryer.
"Yes, yes I do!" Kim said practically beaming with joy.
"I think you could figure out what to do next" Ron said with a half smile.
"Come on Ron!" Kim said as she raced along the top of the incline.
"That is the perfect place to latch to" Kim called to Ron.
By now the Car had freed itself from the dirt, it stopped where it was.
It looked for the teens before it noticed them at the far end of the gorge. It couldn't reach them up that grade, but it could try and stop their escape.
The Car accelerated to where Kim and Ron were standing.
"Kim, he's coming" Ron said as he noticed the Car racing towards their position.
"Don't worry Ron, he can't climb up this grade. Now hold on tight" Kim said as she fired the hair dryer up at the wall of rock.
After a few seconds she tugged on the line, she had a secure latch.
Ron embraced Kim as she prepared to winch themselves up.
"Tighter" Kim said playfully.
Ron obliged as Kim hit the button, they started their rise up the wall.
The Car arrived at the bottom of the grade when Kim and Ron started to winch themselves up the wall.
The Car stopped, and watched them for a couple of seconds.
It saw an opportunity arise and accelerated towards the rock wall.
It smashed into the rock wall, the entire cliff side shook with the impact.
Rocks broke off the top and started plummeting down, towards Ron and Kim.
"Look out Kim!" Ron screamed as rocks whizzed by them.
Rufus, who remained in Ron's pocket since he witnessed the Car in Kim's garage peeked his head out of Ron's pocket.
Rufus saw that they were up off the ground, shrieked and retreated back into Ron's pocket.
It is safe to assume things weren't going well for Rufus.
The Car backed up, and rammed the wall again.
This time it got its desired effect.
The winch mechanism on the hair dryer suddenly stopped.
Oh no
"Kim, why have we stopped?" a nervous Ron asked.
"It's jammed!" Kim said in a panic.
The Car looked up at the two teens and saw that they stopped their upward ascent.
It quickly backed up, and proceeded back up the road to cut them off when they made it up.
Drakken had just gotten the wires that Shego had laid out for the explosives on the left side, now he had to connect them all to the central box.
"Good, now who's a good electrician?" Drakken asked looking around.
Everyone had a stunned, if not shocked look on their face.
"Kidding!" Drakken laughed as he watched their expressions change.
"Now isn't the time for jokes Dr. D" Shego fumed.
"Fine," Dr. Drakken grumbled as he went back to wiring the explosives to the box.
Kim and Ron hung precariously from their line as they watched the Car accelerate up the road.
Kim began to frantically hit the side of the hair dryer, praying it would start working again.
"Any luck?"
"None Ron, we're going to have to shimmy up the rope."
"Kim have you seen me shimmy? You know cause-"
"I know, I know. It's not pretty, you don't have a choice now Ron!" Kim argued as she looked into Ron's eyes.
"Fine, just no kiss for you when we get to the top" Ron grumbled.
"Focus Ron!"
"Sorry KP!"
With that out of the way, Kim started shimmying up the rope.
Ron followed after her, glad that she couldn't see him shimmy.
It took Kim almost exactly fifty seconds to finish climbing the rope.
When she reached the top she looked across the horizon,
She saw the dust trail following the Car, they had another ninety seconds before the Car was on them.
She looked back down the rope, Ron was about five feet down.
"Hurry Ron, its coming!"
"Working on it" Ron cried as he inched closer and closer to the top.
Kim glanced back over at the horizon, the dust cloud was closing in.
Come on Ron
"There! It's all set!" Drakken cried with delight.
The panel of the control box glowed to life.
"Where are Kim and the buffoon?" Drakken asked looking around.
"There they are!" Dr. Director called as she pointed about sixty feet away.
"Almost there KP" Ron said as he now closed into the peak.
Kim glanced over her side and saw the team standing there, the box in Drakken's hands glowed an eerie red.
"I got you Ron, hold on" Kim said as she grabbed Ron's arm.
She grunted as she pulled him up, but he was soon up there with her.
"Thanks Kim" Ron panted as he started to rise to his feet.
"No big Ron" Kim said standing next to him.
Ron looked across the open plane on their left.
"No but that is VERY BIG!" Ron cried
Kim spun around to see what Ron was talking about.
The Car had made it to the top of the ridge, and it was bearing down on the two teens.
Suddenly an idea came to Kim.
Ron started to run when Kim held out her arm.
"Kim what are you doing?"
"Wait Ron" Kim gave Ron the 'trust me' look.
Ron, willing to gamble on Kim's judgment (she usually was right anyway) stopped his attempt to flee.
The Car closed in on them
"Kim"
"Not yet Ron"
Ninety feet away.
"Maybe we should move"
"Not yet"
Fifty feet.
"On my signal dive out of the way Ron"
Twenty feet.
Babababaaaaabaaaaaa
"Now Ron!"
Kim and Ron dove in opposite directions as the Car passed between them,
It sailed over the rocks and started to fall into the gorge.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
"THROW IT!" Kim screamed as she and Ron started running towards the team.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
"Throw the stupid switch!" Ron cried as he and Kim dove to the ground next to the box as Drakken flipped the switch.
The cliff side behind them erupted into a thunderous explosion.
Those that were on their feet were knocked to the ground.
Everyone rolled onto their backs to watch the ensuing fireball.
Within the roar of the explosion was the sound of something not of this world.
A god awful sound was heard intertwined with the explosion.
Everyone stared at the massive fireball, for within it contained the flaming figure of a demon, crying out in pain.
Fire shot out of its eyes, and out of its mouth as the blood curling scream continued.
All anyone could do was watch in horror at the figure they all saw within the fireball.
Then the fireball dissipated, and the figure along with the scream subsided.
They were replaced by an eerie calm.
"Dr. Director to all GJ aircraft! Intercept now! I repeat, intercept now!"
As the smoke dissipated in the predawn light, hundreds of Global Justice jets screamed across the sky.
As they flew over the gorge they each dropped their water tanks onto the rubble below.
This continued for another 3 minutes before they all called in.
"Roger that, proceed to base. Dr. Director out"
Dr. Director slowly rose from her spot on the ground, the others soon followed.
"That's all of them." Dr. Director said.
The group walked to the side of the cliff face and peered down.
The ground below was littered with millions of rocks, covered in holy water.
"BooYah! The Possible-Stoppable team does it again!" Ron exclaimed, throwing his fists in the air.
"Booyah!" Rufus said from Ron's pocket.
Kim just giggled as she wrapped her arm around Ron's neck.
"Yep, we did it Ron" She said with a playful smile.
They remained where they were to watch the sunrise on a day that marked the end of the Car's reign of terror on the quiet town of Middleton.
-
Yep, the action comes to an end.
Or has it?
Stay tuned to find Kim and Ron readjust back to a life without many of their friends, and without a demonic car trying to kill them.
