Chapter 14
Once a Demon Part 2
Ron was busy dealing with Trinity's latest pass at trying to flatten him, his once sleek black exterior was now covered with silver scratches from the Lotus Blade, not to mention the busted left headlight and the various dents Ron was able to put into the vehicle.
Trinity skidded past Ron with a fresh cut in his side; Ron stood with near with the kill zone roughly 20 feet ahead of him to his left, and their patrol car right behind him.
He heard Rufus fire the crane up, he took a quick glance over to the kill zone, expecting to see Kim taunting Christine into the trap.
Instead, all he saw was the rooftops of cars, and Christine herself was across the yard. But Christine was circling back towards the kill zone when Ron saw her stop. Something inside him was telling him something was dreadfully wrong.
Trinity wasn't fully turned around yet, which gave Ron a chance to move closer for a better view, he desperately prayed to see Kim in position to dodge Christine.
Kim, please be ok, please be ok!
Ron gasped at what he saw, Kim was lying in the dirt, and she was hurt real bad. He then looked towards the far end of the yard where Christine was.
"YOU'RE MINE NOW KIM! SAY GOODNIGHT!" Christine screamed as she started towards the fallen Kim.
Ron felt his heart sink, with the way she was lying there was no way for her to get out of the way, she would be killed.
"Kim, Noooo!"
Trinity took Ron's distraction as opportunity and he accelerated toward him, Ron ran full speed at the Trinity with his arm holding the sword pulled back.
With one thrust, Ron sent the blade sailing through Trinity's windshield. At the same time he jumped up on his hood and ran onto his roof before he leapt off in Kim's direction.
Momentarily distracted Trinity went full speed into the parked police car, forcing it and himself into a large stack of wreaked cars. He tried to free himself but the police cars fenders wrapped around his bumper, trapping him inside the stack of wrecked cars.
Kim held her eyes closed, waiting for Christine to do the inevitable to her.
She heard Ron's cries, forcing her to squeeze her eyes closed. Tears started to run down her cheeks.
Goodbye Ron…
Suddenly she felt the ground shake, causing her to risk a peek.
Ron Stoppable was standing between her and the fast approaching Christine; the sight filled Kim with a new hope until she finally lost consciousness.
Christine jabbed her brake pedal to the floor when she saw Ron jump in front of her, she slid back and forth on the loose dirt till she finally came to a stop just yards away from Ron.
She was pissed; her perfect plan of killing Kim Possible now had the one she truly wanted to be with blocking her deed.
"Move Ron!" Christine shouted, revving her engine.
Ron's face was of a ferocity Christine had never seen before, it caused her to feel a little afraid, which was a hard task to do to a demon possessed car.
"I will not, and I am not letting you kill the one I love!" Ron shouted,
His words cut into Christine, fueling her rage.
"Let me kill her so you could have your rightful place with me!" She yelled back.
"I would never leave Kim's side to be with you. EVER!"
Christine visibly shuddered from his words; she never had someone she loved refuse her. It hurt her in ways he could only imagine, she started second guessing all of her choices she's made over the past week.
Her immediate hatred of Kim, but why? Was it because she had Ron? Or was it something deeper?
You never hated her because she had Ron; you wanted to be in her place because you wanted something you never experienced. Love…
Christine backed away a few feet, causing Ron to crack his knuckles, he anticipated her to attack. All she wanted was to give them some breathing room so she could think.
Love…that's all I ever wanted. But none of the people who owned me I was ever really able to love, I only perceived them to love me, and in doing so I eliminated those who stood in the way of our 'love'. I am such a fool…
She didn't want Ron to herself; she wanted to experience the love that he feels for Kim, a love that she was trying to destroy with her twisted form of possessive love.
What am I?
Ron watched as Christine backed away from him, he expected her to charge right at him, instead she sat there.
If she wants to attack, why isn't she?
Ron heard a ruckus off to his right; he hesitantly removed his eyes from Christine and looked towards the cause of the noise.
Trinity was finally able to free himself from his entangled mess of wrecked cars, the Lotus Blade still stuck out of the windshield.
He watched as the scarred black sedan turned towards him, stopping when its front end aimed right at him. He held his hand out and called the blade back to him. Ron heard grunting as the sword freed itself from the Car's windshield and landed in his hand.
"DO IT!" The Car shouted.
What?
Ron turned between the two cars, trying to grasp what was going on.
"…..no….." Christine replied quietly, causing Ron to spin towards her, it all clicked in his head.
She doesn't want to kill us, she's thinking of what to do!
He was skeptical that Christine would choose the right choice and not kill them, but she was showing signs to Ron that she was cracking.
"DO IT, KILL THEM!"
"….I….I can't…" she whispered.
The Car revved angrily,
"You must kill them! Or the deal is off!"
"Deal?" Ron questioned.
Slowly he was putting the pieces together on what The Car was getting at,
The deal it mentioned on the message of our ultimatum! Aw Man, I don't think Christine is going to want that deal off.
Ron started looking back and forth between the two cars, waiting for one, if not both to attack.
Deal? He's really going to call it off?
Now was the moment of truth for Christine, if she said no then she would never be with Ron and experience the love she wanted. But in order to keep the deal with Trinity she would have to kill Ron too.
It was a Catch 22 scenario for her.
I'm screwed if I do it, and I'm screwed if I don't…but
What if he never really planned on keeping the deal in the first place?
She was starting to think rationally, the conscience that had been developing in her for 30 years was finally coming out.
Christine killed her headlights and turned her engine off.
No, no more killing for you. You never wanted to allow me to stay on this world; you planned on rubbing me off as soon as I did what you asked!
I am not going to kill another person for any reason, ever.
Christine saw Ron's surprised look when she cut her power, she was almost certain that it looked like he grinned a little.
She was distracted when she heard Trinity rev up,
"Fine, I'll finish you off after I send these two to Hell!" He lurched forward, towards Ron.
Christine saw that it would only be a couple of seconds before he was upon them, and giving Ron's loyalty, she knew he wouldn't leave Kim's side and die with her then and there.
NO!
Ron gripped the blade tightly as he saw Trinity approach; he didn't have a clue as to what he was going to do.
Kim was now unconscious on the ground and Ron didn't want to move her for fear of causing her more injuries, and he definitely didn't want to leave her to be crushed by Trinity.
This would be their last stand, he just hoped Rufus was able to take Trinity to the molten bath after he took them out, so this way they could go out and take the bad guy with them.
He looked back at the unconscious Kim,
We'll die doing what we do best. I love you Kim, always have and always will.
Suddenly Ron heard Christine start up; he grasped the blade even tighter, causing his knuckles to go white within his mission gloves, knowing that Christine had made her choice, and that he guessed wrong.
Trinity was twenty feet away from Ron when a bright red blur smashed into The Car's right side, sending it careening into another stack of wrecked cars, the red object still attached to its side as they came to rest in a cloud of dust and smoke.
Ron was slightly baffled by what just transpired. He looked back over to his left, to where Christine sat, only instead of seeing Christine he saw an empty space with two tire tracks.
He then looked back towards the wrecked dent The Car made in the stack of junk cars. Sure enough, the back section of a bright red 58 Plymouth Fury stuck out of the rubble. Ron started to smile; she did make the right choice after all.
They weren't out of the woods yet though, as Trinity still wasn't destroyed. Using the given time he dropped down to Kim's side, allowing the lotus blade to disappear and head back to Yamanuchi. He heard a squeak come from above him, he looked up to see Rufus leaning out of the open window of the crane. The little guy was confused and worried about what was going on.
"Rufus! Get the Car, leave Christine but try to bag the Car!" Ron called up.
"KIM!" The rodent yelled back.
He put his hand to Kim's neck feeling for a pulse, he found one, and it was steady.
Ron gave a thumbs up, Rufus nodded happily before he went back to the cranes controls. He started moving the crane over to where the cars entered the junk pile, when Christine started to back out.
Ron was too busy tending to Kim's cuts on her arm, but he still glanced over every once and a while. At first he thought Christine was backing out of the rubble, but he later realized when dirt started spraying from her back tires that she wasn't backing out, but was being pushed out.
Ron pulled some bandages he had in his utility belt and started wrapping Kim's arm, still glancing over towards Christine as she was still fighting against the Car.
Rufus better be ready; or we'll all be goners soon.
Christine's now mangled front end was right against the giant Chrome front bumper of Trinity as the two shoved against each other.
"You could've had it all Christine, you could've had Ron all to yourself and you threw it away!"
"I never had Ron, and we never had a deal! You never planned on going through with our arrangement, I know you better than to think you would keep your word!"
"Hah, right. You don't know a thing about me, I planned on following our arrangement to the fullest" Trinity knew he was lying through his grille, and Christine knew it too, releasing more pent-up rage she felt.
"You planned on using me to do you're bidding then when I served your purpose you'd off me too! I'm just to good of a prize to bring back to your boss, just like Kim, and JUST LIKE RON!"
The two vehicles pressed into one another, Christine was loosing traction as her thin whitewall tires dug into the dirt as she was being slowly shoved back into the open.
"Fine, I wanted to bring you and Kim and Ron back with me as trophy's, to prove to Satan that I am actually better at this than just killing a few people for us to torture. Torturing you and the hero's would make me more than his right hand, but his partner, maybe even a new Satan. And I will still have my way"
Trinity applied more power; Christine was almost completely out of the wreckage now. She used the free room she had to look around behind her as she continued to struggle against Trinity.
She moved her mirrors around, she saw Ron tending to Kim still in the same spot as they were in when she attacked Trinity. Then she moved the mirrors up,
The Crane!
She realized what the two planned beforehand, and that the crane was what drawn her attention back to the center where Kim was.
Of course, use the crane to pick us up and dispose of us in one of these car destroying devices! I just need to lead Trinity close enough to the magnet…
She stopped her wheels, she wasn't accelerating into Trinity now but allowing him to push her towards the crane, to keep him from growing suspicious she kept her engine rpms at the same level they were at before she stopped accelerating, giving the illusion that she was still fighting him.
"You're already growing tired Christine, give it up. You and your new found friends will fall"
"We will not fall against you"
"Oh, a new found courage? Did you grow a conscience by chance?"
"Yeah, I did." Christine said as they got closer to the crane, the sound of both their engines masked the sound of the crane boom moving in behind Trinity.
"I don't work for the devil, I don't work for you and I'm not going to kill in cold blood ever again"
The two were now feet away from the two teens as the magnet started to come up behind and over Trinity.
"Please, you're a demon Christine. Once a murdering demon, always a murdering demon!"
The magnet now rested over Trinity's roof, Christine put herself in drive and started to hold her ground.
"I am NOT a demon from hell ANYMORE!" She screamed as she kept Trinity in his place.
"NOW!" Christine screamed, confusing Trinity.
"RUFUS HIT IT!"
The magnet hummed to life as the energy coursed though it, it lifted Trinity off the ground, his roof hitting the magnet with a solid whack!
"What? HOW?" Trinity demanded,
But he was already being winched up, he applied full throttle but got nothing. His wheels just spun freely in the air; for once in his existence Trinity was helpless.
"It's over Trinity, say hi to your boss for me" Christine said angrily as she watched Rufus swing the magnet over towards the vat of molten metal.
"No, no, NOOOOOO!" Trinity screamed as he was hung over the vat, the metal inside bubbled like molten lava; it gave off an orange glow.
"Hm, Bye-bye" Rufus squeaked as he hit the release button.
Trinity fell into the vat with a splash, a new unimaginable pain coursed through him as he was slowly sinking into the molten metal. In a last and final cry he sounded his horn, a horn that once struck fear into those around, now sounded his death cry.
Baaaaaaaaa babababbbababbabaaaaaaaaaa-blub-blub-blub
Trinity sank under the surface, his exterior slowly being eaten away as he hit the bottom of the vat. His tires gone, his chrome bumpers reduced to the size of toothpicks now fell off their mounts.
His glass peeled away as his roof released itself from his body, slowly the vehicle once known as the Car became nothing more than a dissolving blob of unrecognizable metal that would eventually become one with the metal in the vat. The Car, Trinity, whatever it was called was now no more.
Ron watched as the sound of the horn died out, he still watched the vat for minutes after the Car was dropped in, to be certain that it didn't launch itself out of there for a final strike.
But the strike Ron waited for never came; all that filled the now quiet yard was the fizzling and popping coming from the new metal being broken down in the vat.
Rufus ran down the steps of the crane and up to Ron's shoulder.
"We did it buddy, it's over"
"Uh-uh, Kim" Rufus said, pointing at the still unconscious Kim Possible that lay near Ron's feet.
Ron was able to bandage her arm up, but she lost a lot of blood and needed to be seen in a hospital. However the cruiser both he and Kim took to the yard now lay bent into a U, and completely useless.
"Aw, we need to get Kim to a hospital now and we have no car!" Ron protested as he slumped to his knees.
If he called for help he feared it would take them too long to get here and he'd lose Kim.
Rufus tugged at his shirt, causing him to turn to his little buddy, who then pointed behind him.
Ron turned back, and there approaching him was a very battered and mangled Christine.
Her headlights were all shattered and inoperable, her hood was buckled slightly but the leading edge of the hood was torn, leaving it to resemble pointed teeth. Her grille was practically not there, save for a few stainless pieces that snaked on the edges of her front. The large chrome bumper was twisted into a strange smile. Her left front fender was pushed down far enough that the entire fender and light assembly jumped as it rubbed against her tire as she turned towards him. Her engine sounded similar to the way it did when he and Kim first found her in the yard.
Indeed she took a beating, and what she did to them still hung in the back of Ron's mind as she turned towards him.
She opened her driver's side door; it creaked and buckled as it pushed against the front fender.
"Come on Ron"
Ron just stared at her, uncertain what she was meaning.
"Kim needs medical attention, and she needs it fast Ron" She said.
Ron looked back at Kim, then over to Christine.
"Please Ron, trust me"
Ron sighed; he didn't really have a choice in the matter. Kim's safety and health came before his own.
He gently slid his hands under her limp form and walked slowly over to the driver's door on Christine, he slid her across the large bench seat before he climbed in himself.
Ron sat in the driver's seat as he cradled Kim in his lap, stroking her hair away from her face. Rufus ran down onto Kim's shoulder, trying to help.
Christine shut the door and started off; she gently forced her way through the closed gate and started towards the hospital.
The journey to the Hospital was eerily quiet with nervous tension on both Ron and Christine's part, till Christine finally broke the silence.
"Do you hate me Ron?"
"Huh?"
"For what I did before, turning on you, helping Trinity, and eventually doing the current damage to Kim. Do you hate me?"
Ron though for a moment, he didn't know for sure what he thought about this whole thing.
"Part of me is mad that you betrayed us, killed our friends and even tried to kill Kim…"
"I understand"
"…But, part of me is willing to forgive and forget"
"I know, I'm……wait, what?" Christine asked, it wasn't the answer she was expecting.
"Listen, the Car obviously said something to you that made you think it was a good move to switch sides, but in the end, even though you tried to kill us and blew up the school you still made the right choice in the end."
"….."
"Look, I've always been a forgiving person at heart, whatever Trinity did put you in a spot I would never want to be in, but if you admit to your faults and are sorry for what you did then the higher ups will forgive you"
"Yeah, but I'm still a demon from hell Ron. I don't think the higher ups would yield to me" Christine said.
"Would a demon turn on her own boss because he was doing something wrong?"
"Um, no I guess"
"Then you're not a demon" Ron said, smiling slightly.
"But Ron it doesn't……….never-mind" She wasn't going to argue the logistics of it with him, he probably wouldn't understand anyway.
"I'm guessing now that you aren't out to kill Kim to be with me" Ron finally said.
"No, I'm not going to kill again. Ever, it was a stupid reason to try and kill her anyway"
"Really? What was your reason, may I ask?"
"I wanted to be loved, I wanted you to love me the way you love her. Only I could never be loved the way you love Kim. It was selfish, but it blinded me into being overly jealous to the point of killing anyone who threatened the relationship that was never there. I'm a fool"
Another uneasy silence filled the cabin.
"Wanting love isn't a stupid reason"
Christine was stunned
"Granted, you wanted something in the completely wrong-sick way to the point of killing. But love itself is not a stupid reason, you were just wanting the wrong type of love"
"Well, what kind of love should I have been wanting?"
"Hard to say, I'd have to know what you originally wanted. But right now isn't the time"
Ron was right, they were coming up to Middleton Hospital. Christine pulled up to the ER entrance and opened her passenger door, allowing Ron to slide out with Kim in his arms, Rufus stayed back, as he wasn't allowed in a hospital.
"Go Ron, I'll be in the parking lot when you get out"
"Thank you Christine, for everything"
"Just try to explain this to Kim so she doesn't try and turn me to scrap metal when she gets out"
"I'll try"
With that Ron shut the door and headed into the hospital with Kim, Christine did as she said and parked in the nearest parking spot. She would use the time she had now to think about what Ron told her, and if she was really even a demon anymore.
Told you guys I couldn't leave you hanging for too long, by the looks of it there is either 1 or 2 chapters left, I'm not sure myself because it really goes to how much I could fit into one chapter.
