Chapter 5

'Target acquired: Ron Stoppable. K… K… K… Kill Ron S… S… Stoppable.'

Quietly, and internally, the Kim-be ran a diagnostic. It couldn't figure out why all of a sudden there was a glitch in the programming. After finding nothing wrong, the command was sent again.

'Kill Ron Stoppable.' This time, no glitch. The ion cannon raised, and fired.

Ron immediately knew that this was Kim, but she looked like, of all things… a Terminator! When he saw the arm raise that looked like a weapon, he dove to one side. He couldn't see a beam, or blast of any kind come out, but he felt the heat and whoosh of air as something passed by him, singeing his shirt.

After his jump and roll, Ron was able to duck behind an old burned out truck. Quickly he yanked the Kimmunicator from his pocket, and keyed Wade, who answered immediately.

"Ron… you find Kim?"

"Yes… and no!" He then turned the Kimmunicator so that the camera could pick up the advancing Kim-robot-thing, or whatever she had become.

Turning the screen back to himself, Ron spoke again. "Wade, she looks like a… like a… Terminator!"

"Make that a Kiminator, Ron."

"Hey, that sounds…" Ron started.

"Familiar?" Both said at the same time. "Nah." Each one shook their head at the thought.

Suddenly a hole blasted through the rusted out vehicle right beside Ron. "Sorry Wade! Gotta go… I'll keep the communications open!" Another hole was blasted into the truck as he shoved the PDA into his pocket, and rolled out from behind the now swiss-cheesed vehicle He was able to dive behind a portion of a destroyed wall.

"I'm not going to fight you Kim!" Ron yelled out.

The Kiminator didn't say a word as it slowly and methodically walked towards its target. The ion cannon fired again, and destroyed the small barrier that Ron was behind. He immediately rolled out of the line of fire, and dove behind another burned out truck.

"Ron…" Wade was calling… "Ron, you gotta take out that ion cannon. I noticed it takes a few seconds to charge up. If I can hit it with a high intensity sonic pulse during the charging sequence, that might disable the thing!"

Ron quickly pulled the Kimmunicator from his pocket, and aimed the emitter at Kim.

"Go Wade!" A high intensity sonic beam permeated the air. The sound made Ron wince, but it wasn't unbearable.

Suddenly sparks began to fly out of the raised ion cannon, and a small puff of smoke rose from the weapon signifying that it was inoperable. The Kiminator looked at it with disdain, and put it down to her side.

She immediately ran towards Ron, intent on killing the target! Ron was able to just barely dodge out of the way. The Kiminator skidded to a stop, and ran back the other way, as Ron had taken off running to the opposite side of the room.

He was able to reach the cylinder that the Kiminator had come out of and instead of going inside he quickly ducked behind. He took a chance to look around and noticed a large metal pipe. Picking it up, he tested the weight, and wanted to make sure it was solid. It was.

Without warning, the cylinder was ripped off of its moorings, and tossed to the side like a piece of cardboard! There stood the Kiminator, ready to attack.

Ron still didn't want to strike at Kim, and he was torn with what to do. He knew Kim couldn't help what she was doing, but had to defend himself. She was going to kill him! The Kiminator answered the dilemma for him by swinging the arm that had the inoperable cannon.

Ron ducked, and swung the pipe, connecting with the cannon. WHANG! The Kiminator continued to use the cannon as a bludgeoning object, and Ron was able to duck and block each swing with his pipe.

The Kiminator then tried to grab at Ron with her right hand, and succeeded in catching only his shirt, which was immediately ripped in half. All he had left on was the top portion. His stomach and part of his chest had been exposed.

Since Ron knew he couldn't out run Kim, so he took the fight right to her! He lowered his shoulder, and rammed himself into her stomach, knocking the Kiminator back, and off it's feet. He then immediately jumped on top of her, pinning the arms down with his knees.

"Kim! Fight this thing!" Ron yelled at her. "You can do it! Fight it!"

Inside the Kiminator's head, something sparked. Another programming glitch? R… r… r… Ron… wh… wh… wh… what is… is… is… going on… on… on…?

For a second, Ron thought that he had reached her, as the Kiminator was just laying there, looking at him. The one eye he could see almost showed a glimmer of recognition. Before he could say anything else, the Kiminator thrust itself up, tossing Ron back about 10 feet.

As he stood up stunned, the Kiminator came at him again, with almost inhuman speed. She plowed into him, carrying Ron back up against the wall. Taking her right hand, the Kiminator grabbed Ron at the throat just under his chin, and began to squeeze.

"Kimmmm…" Ron wheezed as he tried to suck in air. She was choking him to death!

Inside the Kiminators head:

I'm killing Ron, and I can't stop it! I can't stop it! Rooonnnn…!

Suddenly images flashed in the Kiminators brain: First, two children in a playground. A little blond boy was handing a ball to a redheaded girl. Then the same two again, but a little older. The blond boy was handing a stuffed toy to the girl. The rest of the images were all of the same two. Sharing ice cream, going to movies, tickle fights… a kiss. Then another kiss, this time in front of lockers, Then another at a carnival.

Something shut down inside, and Kim was finally bale to look at the world with her own mind. Her vision was clear, and she saw Ron in front of her, her hand was around his throat. He was trying to say something, but she couldn't hear his words.

Back to the outside world:

"K… Kim.…" Ron was able to force out. "I… I… love…" Ron's vision finally blacked out from lack of oxygen and blood flow. His body went limp.

M… M…Mission… accomplished. R… R… Ron Stoppable is d… d… dead.

The Kiminator released Ron, and his body fell with a thud to the ground, un-moving.

Kim's voice screamed in her head. Nnnnnnnoooooooooooooo!

All the compensators, and redundant back up systems designed into the computer that was intended to keep control of Kim Possible were suddenly overloaded with something it did not understand. It was raw emotion! The grief and love was overwhelming! It did the only thing it was programmed to do if this ever occurred, and implemented a complete system-wide short circuit. Sort of an internal self-destruct.

The entire system went haywire as bolts of electricity danced over Kim's body! Programmed voltage overloads completely destroyed every electronic component that was attached to her body! Even the systems used to augment her muscles overloaded.

Kim's body began to uncontrollably shake, and she finally fell with a thud, beside Ron's body, unmoving. Smoke rose from her hair and clothes. The two bodies just happen to fall right underneath the large wrecking ball that had a grizzly looking bloodstain on its side.

Just a few minutes after the Kiminator short-circuited, a jeep arrived near the compound, and a very shapely young woman stepped out. She walked over to the bodies, and placed a finger on the wrist of each, checking for a pulse.

Somewhere underground:

The Bebe bot Dual, the one with two electronic brains, was not quite 100 percent satisfied with the events it had just monitored. It sent a command to the crane, and told it to release the ball…

Two chapters with evil cliffies at the end… Oh the humanity!
