Chapter 13
Final Showdown
Two hours, that's how long Kim and Ron were allowed to sleep before the phone started ringing.
They both fell asleep on the couch, Ron's arm wrapped around Kim's waist, causing her to smile as she woke up.
She reached the phone, yawning before lifting the receiver.
"Hello?"
"Kim, its General Simms"
She was now fully awake,
"General, you find anything?"
"Affirmative Kim, we got a rather large salvage/scrap yard about 10 clicks from your current location. You have a pen and paper with you?"
"Um, just a sec."
Kim fumbled through the drawers in Ron's kitchen, finally producing a notepad and pen.
"Ok, go ahead General"
"The location is 665 Heavens Court"
Kim jotted the location down on the pad, wondering how ironic of a last stand they would have at Heavens Court. It was even more ironic with the address of 665, the neighbor of the beast.
"Got it general, thank you, for everything"
"You just send that bastard back where he came from"
"Will do Sir" She said definitely
"Semper Fi, carry on"
She hung the phone up and walked back to the still sleeping Ron, determined to get him awake.
"Ron"
Nothing
"RON!"
He stirred slightly, but still remained asleep. Suddenly, a wicked idea came to her; she allowed a smirk to come across her face as she knelt by Ron, getting very close to his ear.
She started to whisper in a very alluring voice:
"Oh Ronny? I just got this new bikini, and I need some one to spread this lotion across my back while I even out my tan"
Within seconds Ron was sitting up on the couch,
"I'm here for you KP! Now wheres…….." Ron's voice drifted as he started looking around, realizing he was no where near a beach.
He looked over at Kim, who was trying not to laugh. His face turned into a scowl of anger and disappointment.
"That was wrong, so very wrong Kim"
"Oh Ron" Kim allowed some laughter through "I figured it would wake you up, and it did!" Kim started grinning at him.
"Aw Man and I thought…." Ron stopped himself when Kim leaned in closer and whispered into his ear.
"You'll get the chance later,"
He started blushing, causing Kim to giggle.
"We got a location, 665 Heavens Court." She handed him the paper.
"Man, what are the chances of that? We fight the right hand of the devil on Heavens Court? Someone obviously has some sick sense of humor"
"Tell me about it, we have 8 hours to get there and get everything in place before they show up, I suggest we get going now"
Kim already started towards the garage, Ron slowly followed behind her, smiling.
She caught his expression,
"Ron, what are you smiling about?"
"Well, the view I have for one…"
"RON!" She started blushing
"The second is that they don't stand a chance, we're on God's ground!"
She looked at him, raising an eyebrow.
"Heavens Court! It's practically his backyard! He has to help us!"
She rolled her eyes as she grabbed him by the collar.
"Come on divine one, we have some evil to vanquish"
Ron pulled the patrol car under the "HEAVENS COURT SALVAGE" sign that served as the entrance to the yard. Because of the Car, the city was still under martial law, making it deserted. Ron parked the car by one of the cranes as he and Kim started to look around the place.
From the entrance, to where they parked was a good 200 yards of vast space, offering little places to hide, but a lot of room to maneuver. For the time, they didn't know if that helped them or the Cars, but it was close to a draw in that matter. The crane in front of them was rather tall, at least 4 stories off the ground, complete with magnet hanging from the boom. The one surprise was that there was no car shredder, at least not within the closest cranes distance, but what was within it's distance was the large vat of molten metal, which still glowed like white hot magma in the dark night. The though of melting the Cars down, forcing them to suffer for what they did, appealed to the two of them, considering that a slow and painful death to those who have taken so many deserved.
Rufus was working his way up to the crane's control room to familiarize himself with the controls, while Ron and Kim checked out their surroundings.
"Well?" Ron asked
"I'm not to sure about this large expanse between the entrance and us, maybe we can have Rufus place some wrecks in there so we have places to hide and maneuver around in?"
"Sounds good KP, it'll give Rufus a chance to get used to operating the crane too"
"Ok, Ron. Fill Rufus in on the plan, I'll call up his 'evilness' and tell him where we are. It's time to end this once and for all"
"On it Kim" He started up the ladder when Rufus fired up the crane's engine.
She reached into her pocket, bringing out the kimmunicator. She pushed the smile from her face, replacing it with a serious look as she pressed the call button.
Trinity sat in the empty lot of Camp Wanaweep; he made it his unofficial lair for the time being. When he came back with Christine, the area had limited patrols which were easy to pick off.
He actually allowed Christine to eliminate the patrols, figuring the more she killed the more she would be her old self, but that wasn't happening. She seemed very lippy and unsure of killing; it was almost as if she grew a conscience. Trinity didn't like the way she was thinking, acting, going about by his side.
Christine, you should know better than to trust someone like me. I am the right hand of the devil after all.
He kept a close eye on her; he still suspected she might try to turn on him, but his empty promise that she would be with Ron kept her in check. She would be with Ron in the end, only they wouldn't be alive, they'd be in hell receiving their much deserved punishment for all the problems they've caused him. After Kim was out of the way, he would kill Ron, then, with Christine distracted, he would take her out as well.
Running with the Devil!
Trinity grumbled, when he gained control of all of that Wade boys controls he was distracted by that stupid beeping it made when Kim was trying to contact him, he changed it to something more of his liking. 'Running with the Devil', a song he heard on his radio, he liked it so much he made it the tone for when Kim called with an answer.
Running with the Devil!
He let it ring once more before he answered the call.
"Trinity's disposal service, ridding the planet of Humans since 1977. How can I help you?"
"Trying to be funny CAR?" Kim asked over the line.
"Trying? That joke went over very well with all of your friends from school you know!"
"Knock it off Dammit!"
Trinity was grinning on the inside; he loved toying with people too much in his line of work.
"Made up your decision yet?"
"We have, we'll meet you at 665 Heavens Court. We'll give ourselves up there."
"Excellent choice Kimberly, you have chosen the Hero's way out. To die with dignity, to protect the rest of the innocent civilians. Bravo"
"Whatever, just be here"
"On our way, I hope you are prepared for your end, Kimberly. And I promise, it won't even hurt"
"Your sentiment touches me"
With that the line went dead. He wasn't sure, but something about this didn't seem right. No matter, he had the better odds if they tried something.
"CHRISTINE!"
"What? I'm right here you dolt!" Christine argued from his right.
"What's with the hurtful sarcasm you have?"
"I picked it up from one of the humans that helped bring me back to life. Now what are you shouting about?"
"It's time to deliver on my promise, follow me"
Trinity started his engine and started towards the road, Christine stayed behind him, but some distance back, allowing herself some breathing room.
Trinity didn't know it, but the squads she was sent to kill she just left in really bad shape. She couldn't bring herself to kill in cold blood anymore, but killing Kim Possible was something she wanted to do ever since she saw her and her partner Ron Stoppable. She wanted Ron, and the only thing standing in her way was Kim. Now she had a chance to have Ron all to herself, which she would gladly kill for.
"Your time's running out Kimmie" She put her accelerator to the floor as she rushed after Trinity.
"Little more Rufus……..just a little more……..There! Perfect!" Ron called out.
Rufus yanked back on the lever, allowing the last obstacle car to drop into its place.
They were in the yard for an hour rearranging the open expanse that was between the entrance and themselves, giving them more places to hide and breathing room for dodging the cars. Their plan was simple, lead the vehicles over to a spot where the crane could easily grab them, and then drop them into the molten metal. It was straight forward and to the point.
"All done on this end Kim, any sign of the 'dastardly duo'?"
"Dastardly duo Ron?" She asked quizzically.
"Heard it on some cartoon, don't ask"
"As for them, I hear them coming. We might want to get into our positions!"
Kim slid down from her vantage point on top of the crane, giving Rufus thumbs up as she passed. From his place in the crane, Rufus also had control of the main gate, allowing him to open and close it at will. They worked it into their plan.
Kim stood in the little clearing they designated as the 'kill zone'. When one of them lured one of the cars to that location, it was Rufus's job to activate the magnet and pick up the Car. They went over this hundreds of times, just so they both remembered that this was the point they were going to try and lead the two vehicles too.
In the distance, they heard the familiar rumble of The Car.
"Ready Kim?" Ron asked nervously, as he turned his head towards her.
"As ready as I'll ever be Ron" She said, equally as nervous.
"Kim, if we don't make it out….."
"Ron don't think like that! When we're together nothing could stop us!" Kim said. She was more determined not to let Ron say those final words, those were the words that were used in every movie they'd ever seen that had a bittersweet ending, and she'll be damned if that happened here/
She was soon rustled from her thoughts on keeping Ron from finishing his sentence when his hand grasped hers, tightly. She looked towards the front gate, their visitors have arrived.
The Car was the first through the gate; its round headlights roamed the expanse of the open lot before stopping on the two of them. Even with the flood lights that bathed the area in a bright light, similar to that of a football field they squinted their eyes at the light. Right behind The Car was Christine, who pulled up on The Car's right; unknowingly each vehicle had already picked their targets. The Car faced Ron, Christine faced Kim.
Kim squeezed Ron's hand, before she pulled it away, pointing it straight up. It was the signal for Rufus to drop the gate.
Behind the vehicles, the metal barrier slid into place, covering the only way out of the yard.
"Aw, how cute. You two are going to make your last stand"
"Only one pair is leaving this yard Trinity!" Ron yelled as he brought his right arm out, in a flash the Lotus Blade was in his hand, beside him Kim dropped into a fighting stance.
"This ends here Trinity!"
"Oh it does……..for you two!"
Both Christine and Trinity rocketed forward, dirt sprayed from their back tires as they rushed the two teens.
They both dove out of the way before they reached them, Ron brought the blade horizontal with him as he crouched, it cut into the sides of Trinity as he passed, generating a 'fingernails on chalkboard' sound.
"Yeeeooooowwww!" Trinity screamed as he cut to the left, slamming into an obstacle car.
Ron turned back towards Trinity, along the black sedans flank was a rather large scratch from where the blade cut; He brought the blade up again before taunting Trinity.
"Come on! You want a piece of the Ronster!"
Trinity growled as he accelerated back towards Ron.
Kim was having her hands full dealing with Christine, she pursued her relentlessly, smashing into everything in her path that was between her now mangled bumper, and Kim.
Kim ducked behind an obstacle car in hopes that Christine would shoot on by, giving her a chance to regroup and try and lure her back to the kill zone. But Christine saw her duck behind the car, and instead of passing by like Kim hoped she plowed head on into the car.
The sudden shock of the impact sent Kim flying back a good twenty feet before she rolled into another obstacle car, she shrieked as she hit the damaged side of the car. She struggled to get up, but her right leg was in incredible pain, not broken, but it definitely was weakened by the hit. She was so distracted by her leg she barely noticed the large gash that was on her left arm from one of the ragged edges on the car she rested against.
No time to sit around Kim got to move!
The only reason that Kim wasn't run down as she lay by the other obstacle vehicle was that Christine's front end was hooked to the obstacle car she rammed. She was remembering when she had the final showdown with Arnie and Lee in Darnel's and how she had that foreign car stuck to her front end. This paled in comparison, only because she was on loose dirt and the vehicle stuck to her was not on rubber wheels, causing her to fight to just pull herself off of it, and giving Kim some much needed breathing room.
Meanwhile Ron was holding his own with Trinity.
Trinity made three more passes with hopes of flattening Ron, each time Ron rolled, jumped, or soared over him at the last minute, using the Blade to cut into him every time he went by.
Trinity wasn't sure what that blade was, but whatever it was it was fueled by something that was able to cause him pain. It had to be either something holy, or something driven by the forces of good, he didn't really care; he had to remove that sword from him and make him the mince meat he needed to be.
Then surprisingly, the sword changed forms into a ball and chain, which Ron started swinging, and taunting.
"Here, demon, demon, demon"
Trinity roared ahead at him again, planning a little surprise for Ron.
Just as before, Ron rolled out of the way, but Trinity was prepared and started to slide his back end towards where Ron rolled, catching the teen off guard. Only Ron realized what was going on and jumped over an obstacle car as Trinity's back bumper cut through the side of said vehicle.
He slid to a stop, facing the vehicle he just cut into. Ron was standing on top of it, the ball and chain still in his hands he flung it out towards the car. The ball struck Trinity in the left headlight, causing it to break instantly as a new pain coursed through Trinity. He was dazed from the hit, he was obviously taking the weapon Ron had for granted, his pain just proved it.
He started accelerating towards the car that Ron was standing on, the ball part of the weapon still stuck in his headlight.
Ron saw the Car bearing down on his location and went to jump off, only to be pulled back in from his weapon; he slammed onto the roof of the car he was standing on.
"Uh oh" he breathed as he looked at the still advancing Car.
Suddenly he remembered the weapon in his hand, he changed it back into a sword and leapt off the car, just as Trinity slammed into it, sending it across the yard.
Ron watched with large eyes as Trinity flew by with the car he was just standing on, suddenly he felt a breeze. Looking down he noticed that his pants were around his ankles.
"Aw man, not now!" He protested as he quickly pulled his pants up as he ran after Trinity.
On the other side of the yard, Kim finally managed to get her strength back and lifted herself up, her leg was in incredible pain still, but she could hobble around on it. Her arm just plane hurt, that and she was feeling lightheaded from the amount of blood that was coming from it. Her original plan now had a major kink in it, she couldn't move with her usual grace now, making dodging a speeding car impossible, but she still was going to try.
She started towards the kill zone when another blow came from behind, sending her sprawling to the ground in extreme pain. Christine had managed to fling the car off of her and inadvertently sent it towards Kim.
Christine didn't know this and just assumed that the thud sound she heard after the car stopped rolling was her using it to cover her own moves. She started searching through the yard, unaware that she was actually moving farther away from the downed Kim.
Kim felt more pain course through her as she lay on the ground again, she wondered if this was how well she was doing with Christine if Ron was fairing any better with the Car. She heard another scraping sound followed by a yelp from the Car, obviously Ron was fairing better than she was right now.
Her leg had gotten worse, she was pretty sure she now had either broken or bruised ribs, not to mention that the cut on her arm now had another cut that went from her elbow to her wrist. It wasn't deep but it bled like a river, making her feel light headed.
Still she pressed on, slowly pulling herself closer and closer towards the kill zone. If she was going to die here, she at least wanted to see that one of the cars was going to die with her.
Each inch, every pull hurt her, causing tears to form in her eyes as she reached the outer edge of the circle.
She heard the Crane fire up; she looked up and saw the boom swinging out over the area above her, now all she needed was the car.
At the far end Christine turned around and spotted Kim, lying in the dirt in the open. She was obviously in a lot of pain; Christine could see that from her stand point, so much so she probably wouldn't be able to move.
"YOU'RE MINE NOW KIM! SAY GOODNIGHT!" Christine planted her accelerator, spraying dirt behind her as she accelerated towards Kim.
Kim watched as Christine bore down on her, she wouldn't, couldn't move out of her way, not in her condition.
She just closed her eyes, and waited for the inevitable….
Kim Possible waited for her death.
Guess what? Cliffhanger time!
Man I love keeping you guys on the edge! You probably hate me now too, lol.
