Blood Relations- chapter six- Katrina's Return.
The next morning Kim and Ron were still sleeping on the couch together when their daughter jumped up from behind and screamed, "TIME TO GET UP!" The sudden loud cheer caused both of them to fall off the couch with a thud. As they glared at Annieshe simply smiled and ran to the kitchen where Yori was preparing breakfast.
I'm glad to see you two are finally up," Yori mused seeing their disheveled state. Ron gave a big yawn as Kim rolled her eyes.
"Well if someone wasn't snoring then I would have been up sooner," Kim muttered under her breath.
"Hey calm down KP no need to be all hostile," he said cheerfully.
Kim wasn't amused and pushed Ron out of the way to sit down.
"Just give me my breakfast," she ordered.
Ron had never seen Kim this irate. He decided to remain silent to not cause anymore problems. The meal was quiet and uneasy; Kim seemed to be bossy and cranky at the same time.
Ron quickly changed into a business suit and drove off to the Stoppable Sombrero headquarters, which was a twenty minute drive. When he got there a secretary was at the front desk to greet him.
"Good morning Mr. Stoppable," she said in a cheery voice.
"Good morning Ashley," he replied as he took the mail and some files. Ron soon entered his large office which had a big oak desk and on it was a gold plaque with his name on it.
As he sat down he gazed at the array of pictures on his desk. He had a picture of him and Kim on their wedding day and he even had a picture of the entire Yamanauchi class, with Sensei giving a peace sign. The one that Ron somehow was attracted to was a picture of his late friend Rufus.
He was in a super hero-like pose with his chest puffing out and a big smile across his little whisker face. Ron thought he would live with Ron for decades, but he often mistook Rufus for a real human. In reality Rufus was very old when he died, but Ron was happy to know that Rufus felt like he could leave Kim with Ron and have no regrets.
He thought about Rufus for a few minutes before getting to work looking at the progress of the Smarty Mart deal. About ten percent of the restaurants were up and running, which was good news and they were ahead of schedule. More people went to the Smarty Mart ones because they cost so much less. This pleased Ron and he decided that when the royalties came in he would buy Kim an emerald necklace to go with her Lily talisman, which she wore all the time.
Two hours passed as Ron continued to toil away at the pile of papers until the secretary buzzed him.
"Sir we have a Mr. and Mrs. Renton who wish to speak with you."
"Let them in," Ron replied with excitement as he stood up to see Felix and Monique walk through the door. He gave them both a big hug before letting them sit on a couch he had.
"Looks like the Stoppable Sombrero is a big hit," said Felix, looking around the room in awe.
"People seem to like it, but how are you two doing? I didn't expect you until another two months."
"We thought that we have been away for too long and decided to come back home and see what's been happening," Monique said as she held her husband's hand.
"Where's little Bill?" he asked refering to their son.
"We left him with my mom," said Felix.
"Have you been to see Kim yet?'
"No not yet,"
"Good maybe you should come tomorrow."
"Why?" asked Monique, a little confused.
Ron told them about Katrina and Tara and everything else. Monique and Felix both witnessed the zombie part, but were unaware of Kim's condition.
So you think her attitude has something to do with this Katrina coming back?" questioned Felix.
"I'm not sure, but I left before anything else happened," suddenly the secretary buzzed Ron again.
"Sir, Yori and your daughter are here."
They entered the office in a panic; Annie was crying and Yori was clearly afraid as well.
"Yori, what's wrong?"
"It's Kim something's wrong with her," Yori could barely speak the words and Ron had her sit down to explain it. "I was helping Annie with her addition and subtraction when Kim-san suddenly yelled at me saying that I was trying to take her daughter away from her. I said that I would never do that and Annie agreed with me, but that only made Kim more upset and soon she was throwing stuff at us and screaming at us. I was afraid so I grabbed Annie and ran out to get to you."
She spoke with fear and pain and Ron knew something was wrong. He quickly got ready and led the way as Ron, Yori, and Annie took one car and Felix and Monique took the other.
When they arrived they could clearly see the door in splinters on the lawn. Ron entered with caution and looked at the carnage. Chairs were smashed and everything was a mess; he looked around for Kim, but she was nowhere to be found.
He did find one thing intact; the Kimmunicator. He switched it on as Wade popped up on the screen sipping on a soda.
"Wade I need you to find Kim she's run off and is highly volatile."
Wade typed away before scanning the screen in front of him.
"Alright she's in the park; let me know what happens," as he signed off and Ron and the others drove to Middleton Park.
As they approached the park they immediately saw Kim by a bush. She was kneeling towards something and as Ron and Yori ran up to her they saw what it was.
On the floor looked to be the remains of a dog. Blood was all over Kim's face as she continued to gnaw and chew at the carcass. Yori looked like she was about to vomit and Ron wasn't far behind.
Kim then noticed them and her reaction was instant; she lunged at Ron knocking him down. Yori looked on in shock as Kim began to try and kill her own husband.
On the receiving end Ron looked at Kim's eyes and saw nothing, but animalistic rage. She growled and licked her lips before attempting to bite his head off, but suddenly she howled and collapsed. Ron slid out from under her and could see a dart in her neck; as he turned around he could see about twelve GJ agents as well as Mary and Susan.
"When did you guys get here?"
"We could sense Katrina getting stronger and transported here right away; the GJ agents were called in by Wade who thought you needed them.
"That was Katrina?" he asked skeptically.
"Not yet, that was only part of the transformation, but she isn't far behind. We need to secure her or she'll start to kill again," Mary ordered two GJ agents to pick her up and everyone pilled in the hovercraft to GJ Headquarters.
As they reached the secret base Kim was taken to a holding cell which was an empty chamber, except for a surgeon's table where she was strapped down.
Dr. Director entered the cell with several agents right behind her, including Will Du. She was bandaged in several places, had her arm in a sling, and walked with a limp. She greeted Ron and the others who looked at Kim as she began to come to.
"What are you going to do to her," asked Monique clearly scared.
"We're just going to do some tests on her and see if there are any mental problems."
"My wife is not crazy," Ron said through gritted teeth. Dr. Director was about to reply when Kim began to thrash and shake violently which caused everyone to step back. Then suddenly she stopped, opened her eyes, and looked around before speaking.
"Well it seems I've caused myself to be given away," Kim said calmly like nothing was wrong.
"Kim?" Ron asked shyly.
"Sorry honey, Kim's not here right now. I'm Katrina, but these are very uncomfortable; give me a second," as she ripped the steel shackles and leather straps off with no sweat.
"It's happened; Katrina has returned," proclaimed Susan as she and Mary looked on in horror.
"That's right people, but I'm surprised I expected a lot more people to welcome their new ruler. Therearen't even enough people to challenge me," Katrina looked around gazed at the small group of GJ agents all with their pistols drawn.
"Where's Kim?" demanded Ron.
"Oh she's still up here; clawing to get out. Begging me not to hurt you or your friends. Too bad she's not in charge," Katrina grinned from ear to ear. As she walked around everyone kept their distance and tried not to blink. This made Katrina even more happy, knowing that they feared her.
"I'll stop you if it kills me; I won't let you hurt Kim," Ron said as her brandished the Lotus Blade. Katrina just laughed throwing her head back.
"I'm not here to fight you; I want Dracula to come out."
"How did you know that? You died after he made that statement," said Mary.
"I knew because of Kim. All her memories and thoughts I process. I must say Ron you sure can pleasure a woman in bed," she chuckled.
"SHUT UP!" Ron yelled as he launched himself at her forgetting that it was still Kim's body. Katrina simply threw her hand up and fired a red fireball at him which hit Ron in the chest and threw him back into the wall. As he collapsed to the ground Yori and Felix helped him up.
"Come now the only reason I didn't kill you was because I want Dracula to come out so I can prove to him that I am superior."
Ron groaned as he stood up and looked at Katrina with anger. Then a GJ agent accidentally fired his pistol which hit Katrina straight in the chest. Ron gasped in shock and was even more shocked to see Katrina still standing.
"Oh bother; you ruined my shirt," she said as she charged at the agent and with one swift motion drove her claws into his gut. He screamed in pain as everyone else looked on in disgust as the agent fell dead.
Katrina walked back to the middle of the room and noticed everyone's reaction.
"I'm not a very patient woman, but I do need soldiers to serve me so," she fired a greenish looking ball of plasma at the group and watched it explode covering them in a thick cloud. Ron, Felix, and Mary were the only ones who weren't in the smoke; they could hear coughing and gasps, but soon everything went silent and the crowd looked on at Ron and the others with dark red eyes.
They all turned to face Katrina and bowed to her saying, "All hail the Empress!"
Katrina smiled as she pointed to Ron and said, "Take him alive and unharmed; make those two my slaves. The group crept toward the trio who were pushed against a wall.
"Come on Felix honey," Monique cooed, "It's wonderful no pain, no sorrow; just joy."
"Yeah sister, Katrina is the goddess of life; no one can stop her," said Susan.
Mary whispered to Ron and Felix, "I'm going to transport us out of here so hold on tight." The group crept closer their red eyes showing no emotion. Suddenly Mary yelled, "NOW!" as Ron and Felix grabbed her robes and in a bright flash of light they were gone.
Katrina didn't seem too worried about this and simply shrugged it off.
"Oh well they'll be back; when Dracula comes out he'll have to fight me; it's what he's here for."
The others looked on with their red eyes staring blankly at their master.
"Let's go, I need every slave I can get; then I'll take over the world and be ruler of all!" Her mind slaves cheered and applauded as Katrina smirked and walked out of the cell with her servants behind her.
As she walked she began to talk to Kim, who was still conscious in her mind.
"Soon Kim I'll kill your husband and you'll be cursed to watch helplessly as I take over the world; in your body," as she laughed she failed to notice the Lily talisman dimly shine and suddenly disappear right off her neck. Cont…
