Chapter 21 (part 3)
The rain slowly began to recede and the moonlight started to shine through the clouds. In the moonlight, the silver energy that was flowing from Psygo began to glow and shine. J-Go shifted his balance uneasily.
Where is he getting this power? Where is it all coming from?
"Well, Psygo. Aren't you coming after me?" J-Go said, taunting the empowered Psygo. But Psygo did not answer. Instead, he turned from J-Go and walked to where Kim and Ron were laying on the floor. J-Go watched as the silver energy tendrils from Psygo's back slowly wrapped around Kim and Ron and lifted them into the air.
"I will be with you soon, J-Go." Psygo's voice rang out. J-Go noticed the other tones in his voice.
Psygo slowly set down Kim and Ron and turned to face J-Go once again. J-Go was about to attack when Psygo seemed to suddenly disappear.
"What in the hell. Where are you?" J-Go screamed.
"I'm behind you."
J-Go whirled around, only to be met with a S.L.A.M. encased fist. The impact threw him back slightly, but J-Go stood his ground. J-Go fired a blast only to find that he was shooting at air. Psygo had disappeared again.
This new power must grant him speed. But that won't be enough.
J-Go let out another wave of energy, but nothing seemed to happen except for his headache getting worse. Psygo reappeared and landed a few more strikes to J-Go's midsection before disappearing again.
I know I can beat him. I just have to find a way around his speed.
Waygo and Leego were still watching the fight. Both were absolutely amazed.
"I can't track him. Even with my power I can't track him." Leego said.
"Of course not. Don't you see what he's doing? He gave it away when those energy tendrils came into contact with Kim and Ron. After he set them down, I saw it. Pink and blue energy traveling up the tendrils and into Psygo. He's absorbed their energies. Right now, he's using Ron's speed. But I'm not sure…" Waygo said before he was cut off.
Psygo had reappeared next to them.
"Hello. I thought I told you that you weren't supposed to come here."
"Yeah, but we weren't gonna let you have ALL the fun." Leego said with a smile.
"Well, since you're here, I'll be needing a few things."
The silver energy tendrils rested for a moment on Waygo and Leego's shoulders. Before Psygo disappeared again, he rested a hand on Shego's cheek.
"Keep her safe."
"We will." Waygo said, eager to help his friend.
"I can't see anymore." Leego said, slightly freaked.
"Don't worry. Psygo is just borrowing our powers. We'll get them back."
Waygo didn't mention the "I hope" that had been running through his mind at the time.
Psygo rushed back into the warehouse where J-Go was still looking for him. But, Psygo was having trouble keeping focus. There were so many thoughts that were running through his mind. And some of them weren't even his thoughts.
I have to destroy him.
I'm so sorry I couldn't beat him for us Kim.
I can't believe I got beaten.
I just hope he comes back alive.
Man, I wish I could be in there right now.
I swear I'm going to kill that golden freak.
Psygo could tell that the last one had been Shego's.
I must have absorbed some of her energy as well when I touched her cheek.
Psygo shrugged it off and stored the information for later. He had to focus on one thought now. He had to destroy J-Go.
J-Go was hopelessly lost now. It was only a matter of time before his mind began to break down and he lost control.
I have to think of something. Otherwise, I'm going to lose. And I cannot lose.
He had only just finished the thought when another punch out of thin air threw him across the room. But, oddly enough, his headache did not get worse. In fact, it was getting better.
I'm regaining control. If this keeps up, I'll be able to destroy him. All I have to do is avoid him long enough for his body to run out of energy.
J-Go closed his eyes and pushed his mind as far as it could reach. His presence began to fill the entire warehouse.
Focus. Where is his next attack coming from? See it in your mind and avoid it.
J-Go's body moved as if on it's own as another fist came to make an attack at J-Go. J-Go dodged under it and leaped into the air as a sweeping kick swept out underneath him.
Psygo was slightly impressed. Even at this speed, J-Go was beginning to be able to dodge his attacks.
Let's see if he can dodge this.
Psygo kicked it into overdrive. J-Go never saw it coming. He was hit with a punch to the gut that knocked the wind out of him, then another punch to the gut that lifted him into the air. Psygo finished off with a backflip kick to the face that sent J-Go flying back into the wall.
As J-Go recovered from the attack, he began to see what was happening.
That wasn't any normal combo. That was a serious martial arts combo. But Psygo doesn't know any martial arts.
Realization hit J-Go like a sack of bricks. He turned his gaze to the unconscious teen hero and her sidekick.
He's absorbed their energies. He's using their abilities for himself. Stoppable's speed and strength. Kim Possible's martial arts abilities.
J-Go felt a little more of his headache go away. He smiled and turned back to Psygo, who was now standing at the ready, waiting for J-Go to continue.
As J-Go stood back up, he pushed as much energy as he could into his hand and aimed at Psygo. J-Go let out a blast of energy so large that there was no way around it. But Psygo didn't even try. He simply wasn't moving.
Is he really that stupid? He's just going to stand there and take the hit?
J-Go soon had his answer. Instead of trying to dodge it, Psygo raised his hand up to it. It stopped dead in its tracks. But even he couldn't hold it, so Psygo raised his hand up and pushed the massive energy blast into the sky where it exploded.
As Psygo dropped his gaze to once again stare straight into J-Go's eyes, J-Go began to feel fear rising in his body.
"You can't stop me, Psygo. I know you. It's not even because you're not powerful enough. It's the plain and simple matter that you can't kill anyone. You despise killing. You despise it even more than you despise me." J-Go said, his confidence slowly returning.
"I know, J-Go. I hate killing. I knew from the start that in my condition I would not be able to kill you." Psygo answered back, many voices mixing with his own.
"Then why did you even bother? If you knew that you couldn't kill me, then why would you even try?"
"I'm sure you've noticed it by now, J-Go. My new power. It allows me to absorb the energies of those around me."
Psygo disappeared again, and reappeared in front of J-Go, wrapping his hand around J-Go's neck and lifting him into the air.
"I noticed. So what! So you're more powerful than me. Big deal. You still can't kill me." J-Go said in choked words.
"You misunderstand J-Go. When I absorb their energies, I also take a little piece of them with me. Their thoughts and feelings. I have quite a few people in here. Kim and Stoppable. Even Waygo and Leego are in here with me."
"Even with that it's still not enough. No one on that list has the capacity to kill. Not one. And there is no one left to absorb. No one who can help you learn to kill."
"Well, there is one person." Psygo said as his eyes flashed gold. J-Go understood immediately.
He's absorbed me. He's been absorbing me this entire fight. I wasn't gaining control. I was losing power.
"J-Go, you've been a plague on this world for far too long. I will now take the place of the cure." Psygo said as he pulled his other hand back for the final strike.
J-Go closed his eyes, ready to accept his fate.
Well, at least I'll have died fighting. And it'll be quick and painless.
"Oh, and J-Go…"
J-Go opened his eyes for a quick second.
"Shego says hi." Psygo said as his hand lit up with green plasma. Psygo thrust his right hand through J-Go, the plasma ripping and burning at the gold man's flesh. Pain was all that J-Go felt when he died that moment. Pain and suffering.
Shego slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurred, but she could still see a little.
"Where am I?"
Waygo lifted her up into a sitting position.
"Don't worry. We're at J-Go's warehouse."
"J-Go! Where? I'll kill him!"
"You're too late. Psygo already did that."
Shego peered through the hole in the wall. She saw Psygo. His arm was all the way through J-Go.
Psygo stood with an emotionless look on his face.
"And now, J-Go, I remove you from this planet."
J-Go's body began to glow gold. The glow spread across his entire body until he looked like no more than a mass of energy shaped like a human being. Slowly, the energy began to recede into Psygo's arm. After it was all gone, the silver energy that had been protecting Psygo during the fight dissipated. Psygo fell to his knees physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted.
He smiled as he saw Waygo, Leego, and Shego rushing towards him. Shego practically tackled him to the ground and kissed him as if she hadn't in years. Waygo and Leego stood back and let them have their moment.
"You did it. You actually did it." Shego said, happy that he was even alive.
"No. It's not over yet." Psygo said, the smile dropping from his face almost instantly.
Waygo and Leego both stepped back.
"What are you talking about? J-Go is dead. You killed him, remember?" Waygo asked.
"He might be dead, but his energy isn't. I absorbed too much energy during the fight. It's going to tear me apart soon if I don't let it out."
"Well, then, just let it out."
"It's not that simple. All of the energies mixing together like that is building up. If I let it out, it'll explode."
At the word explode, Leego began to look nervous.
"You have to get everyone out of here. Waygo , Leego, make sure you get Kim and Stoppable out of here. Shego, I'm sorry but you have to go." Psygo said.
"No, I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going to just sit back and watch you die." Shego said, holding back the tears that were threatening to burst at any moment.
"Then close your eyes, dammit. Because I'm not about to let you die with me."
Waygo and Leego had already taken Kim and Ron to the hovercraft. They came back to say goodbye to their friend.
"Waygo, Leego, take Shego and get out of here."
As Waygo and Leego started to move forward, Shego turned and gave them a glare that would frighten a shark.
"Touch me and you'll die here and now." Shego said with fire in her eyes.
Waygo and Leego decided it would be best for Psygo and Shego to work this out on their own and headed back to the hovercraft to wait.
"Shego, I told you to get out of here."
"Well, I never was very good at following orders."
"Then, I apologize, Shego."
"For what?"
"This." Psygo said as he raised his right hand. Shego felt an invisible force pick her up and push her back. She quickly realized what he was doing and cried out for him to stop, but he had already put her into the hovercraft. She tried to jump out, but her body wouldn't move.
"Psygo! Don't do this." Shego cried out, hoping she could stop him before it was too late.
Psygo waved to Waygo, giving him the sign to take off. As he did, Shego felt something in her mind. She closed her eyes, and to her surprise, there was Psygo.
Shego. I'm projecting my thoughts to you. I'm sorry to have done that, but it was the only way. I love you, Shego. I love you with every fiber of my being. And that means that it is my job to protect you. Even from myself if necessary. You've done so much for me, Shego. You showed me the love that I held for you for so long. And I thank you dearly for that. I hope you can forgive me someday for what I have done. But for now, I only hope that you can continue on. You may have lost one love today, but you still have another. I hope that you and Kim will be happy. And as much as I wanted the honor of doing so myself, I hope that she will take care of you and protect you. Goodbye Shego. I love you.
The tears that Shego had been holding back suddenly burst out. She couldn't control herself any longer and cried.
Psygo was left sitting on his knees in the middle of the ruined warehouse. He watched as the hovercraft flew away.
A single tear fell from his face to the ground. He quickly wiped the wetness from his face and with difficulty stood up. Psygo looked down at his right arm which had begun to glow with golden energy.
"Even in death you're a pain in the ass." Psygo said as he stared at his glowing arm.
"Fine, if that's the way you want it, J-Go. We'll finish this fight in hell!"
Psygo held his right arm up into the air and, with a scream, let go of all of the energy he had absorbed.
Shego watched as the warehouse exploded in a fashion that could only be described as a small nuclear warhead. The hovercraft began to rock back and forth from the shockwave, but it soon passed. Waygo waited an hour to let the energy settle before he flew the hovercraft back towards the area where the warehouse had once stood.
They searched for hours, but didn't find anything. Even after Kim and Ron had woken up and Leego had regained his blindsight. There was literally no sign of Psygo. Not even any sign of a body.

Three weeks later
Waygo and Leego sat at the controls of one of Drakken's hovercrafts. It had taken a long time, but they had finally tracked down where the signal was coming from on Psygo's hovercraft that had escaped from the warehouse before they had gotten there.
"Looks like it's right below us." Leego said.
Waygo set the hovercraft down and jumped out with Leego. They took the tracking device and began following the signal through the thick rainforest that they had landed in.
"It should be behind those trees." Waygo said as he pushed some vines out of his way. As they passed the trees, they looked around and saw nothing but more rainforest.
"Well, where is it?" Leego asked, confused.
A small red light caught Waygo's eye. He followed it to the source. The homing device that had been planted on the hovercraft was tied up to a tree by a vine.
"Dammit. Looks like she got away."

Nine months later in a remote hospital
The doctors rushed around the room making sure everything was going as it should. The blonde woman on the bed in the center of the room was pushing with all her might, her legs up in stirrups.
"Alright miss, once more. Push!" The doctor said. The woman did as she was told and pushed. Suddenly, the pain stopped and she laid back, sweat dripping from her face.
The doctor cut the umbilical cord and wrapped the baby up in a blanket after cleaning it off.
"Congratulations. It's a boy." The doctor said as he handed the blonde woman the baby. She cradled it in her arms and smiled.
He looks just like his father. My precious little boy. My little ghost.
For the first time, the baby slowly lifted its eyelids, allowing his mother the first glimpse of its beautiful golden eyes.

Author's notes
Well, that's the end of it. I can't believe that this story was actually that long. I only started this as something to do to pass the time, but once I got started, I couldn't stop. I hope you all liked the ending. Please review.
