Here is the last chapter for Breaking Free. I have several new ideas to think about before I start my next story, but that's for later. Enjoy! KingOAnime
Breaking Free- chapter six- A New Life
Kim was met with fierce resistance as she crouched behind a sofa. She continued firing as two more minionsfell. She didn't want to hurt them, but they were in her way.
Kim picked up a grenade and tossed it in their direction. The henchmen scattered in all directions as it exploded;she then walked calmly past the fire and bodies strewn everywhere.
As she entered the main chamber she was greeted by Drakken along with at least a hundred men with big guns. Yori and Monique were in front ready to pounce with their weapons ready.
"Those of you who don't want to die please let me pass; I promise I'll let you live." Kim waited; and much to Drakken's surprise the henchmen and women began to leave the room. They dropped their guns at Kim's feet and gave short bows to her.
Drakken was furious, "COME BACK HERE RIGHT NOW OR SO HELP ME I'LL HAVE EVERY ONE OF YOU KILLED!" The threats went unheard and soon only Kim, Yori, Monique, Drakken, and Shego remained.
Kim looked at her old friends and said, "I don't want to hurt you two; you two are my friends."
"Not anymore," replied Yori as she threw one of her daggers at Kim who effortlessly dodged it, but then Monique appeared in Kim's face with a solid punch to her gut.
Kim collapsed to her knees and countered with a swinging kick to both their legs causing them to fall with her. She then stood up and dropped her guns as a signal that she wanted to fight traditionally.
The two girls complied and tossed their weapons to the side. They continued to fight each other. Kicking, punching, slashing, countering, counter-countering it was a long and tiring fight.
All three of them were panting, their shoulders going up and down with each breath.
"What is it you fight for Kim? Why are you holding back?" Monique asked.
It was true Kim was using only a fraction of her energy because she didn't want to hurt them and she knew Drakken had more than this up his sleeve; just in case.
"I fight for these people that have become my friends and my new family. I don't want to hurt people anymore, I want to live a normal life with my family, but I need to stop Drakken's tyrannical reign before more innocent people are hurt." she replied energetically.
Yori and Monique gave each other a quick glance before they dropped their stance and turned to face Drakken and Shego.
"You dare defy me!" He yelled as Shego tried to comfort him.
"You're not the boss of us anymore; we're tired of you telling us what to do. You want us to do your work; do it yourself!"
Kim was very pleased that her friends were on her side.
"Thank you," she said, "Go to the south wall you'll find two unconscious teenagers there. Wake them up and tell them you're my friends; lead them away from this place and take them home."
The two girls nodded and left the room after sticking their tongue out at Drakken one last time. Drakken didn't seem phased that his last line of defense failed.
"Why are you so calm Drakken? You have no one else to protect you; or are you actually going to have Shego stop me?"
"That's not a bad idea," Drakken said as suddenly Shego flipped in the air landing behind Kim. Before she could react Shego picked her up and threw her into a nearby wall. She then took her dress off to reveal a green and black battle suit. Her gloved hands glowing bright green as she charged at Kim.
Kim could block in time and screamed out in pain as Shego's hand dug into her shoulder. The burning pain felt worse as she twisted her claws in Kim's shoulder. Shego pulled out and stepped back as Kim's arm began to bleed.
"You see," Drakken said explained, "Shego has been my best fighter all along; I love her fighting so much that I married her. She became my shield and my protector."
"You can't beat me Princess," taunted Shego, "No one can stop me."
Every punch and kick connected; Kim kept trying to counter or block, but was met with constant failure as she was thrown around like a rag doll; much to Drakken's delight.
Shego walked up to Kim's limp form on the ground and pulled her head up by her hair.
"You can never escape your true calling; as long as you live people will die. You kill anyone who touches you so how can you possibly have a normal life?" Shego mocked, "In the end you are just a cold-blooded killer with no feelings or regrets so do me a favor and die!" Shego positioned herself for the final blow as her glowing hand went up in the air ready to slice Kim's throat; when she was stopped by Kim's hand.
"You're wrong!" Kim flipped backwards away from Shego and lunged at her landing a kick in her face. Shego was thrown back, but still landed on her feet.
"I can live a normal life and I can experience emotions and feelings. My whole life has been a lie; I was shut away from the outside and had no understanding of love, friendship, and happiness. Now here I am to start a new life and you are in my WAY!"
Kim's scream caused Shego to lose her focus which gave Kim the opening she needed. She rushed forward and before Shego could refocus Kim took Shego's glowing hand and turned it on her. The hand found its mark in Shego's gut; Shego cried out in pain as blood trickled out of her mouth. Drakken sat their wide eyed and shocked that his wife, and best assassin, was defeated.
"You...w…will…never…b…e…normal," was all Shego said before she breathed her last. Kim stood up bloody, dirty, and battered ready to finish the job.
Drakken quickly pulled out his small Walter as Kim stopped moving and began to laugh.
"What's so funny?" asked a confused Drakken.
"I've braved gunmen, assassins, even your stupid babbling and now you think a pistol will stop me?" Kim chuckled.
"I know you can't dodge bullets at point-blank range."
He kept the gun on Kim's head as she sighed, "Well I guess I'll have to go with plan B."
Without warning Kim threw three throwing daggers at Drakken; one got his arm, causing him to drop the gun, the other two entered his chest as he collapsed.
Kim slowly made her way over to his dying body. He tried reaching for his gun, but was interrupted by Kim's foot crushing his hand. She pointed her Beretta at him as he smiled.
"You're still a killer Kimberly Ann Possible and when you pull that trigger that will seal it," he spat.
"No it won't be like that; this isn't the continuation of my life. This is the beginning of my new life as Kim pulled the trigger ending Drakken's life.
Kim was free.
She laughed and danced, but stopped her celebration when she saw the smoke pouring out of the door. Apparently in all the fighting a small fir was started and soon it grew to engulf the entire house. Kim just smiled and thought about her new life.
Ron and Tara were awaken by Monique and Yori who explained that they were Kim's friends. They helped them up and said that they would explain everything when they got to the Stoppable house, but Ron wanted to know if Kim was alright; that's when the smoke came out of the windows.
Ron rushed for the door, but the minute he opened it he was met with intense flames that made him shield his himself from the heat. He still attempted to enter, but Yori stopped him and convinced him that the flames would kill him.
Reluctantly he called the fire department as Mr. and Mrs. Stoppable came to help Ron and Tara. After the fire went out Ron asked if anyone was inside, but they all said that only death was I their.
Monique and Yori were invited to stay with Ron and Tara by Mrs. Stoppable; they took the offer. No one heard from Kim after the fire, but Middleton started to get better. A new mayor was elected who had no ties to Drakken at all. Casinos and strip clubs went out of business and because of Drakken's death the town was once again a happy and safe place to live again.
Many crime lords who had their eye on Middleton steered clear, since they didn't want to end up like Drakken.
Four months passed as Ron and Tara graduated from high school. Monique and Yori became honorary members of the family and went with Ron and Tara to college. Kim's death had been tough, but life continued regardless.
Tara and Ron were just getting used to their dorm room and the fact that they were now engaged made it that much better. Monique and Yori lived a floor down from Ron and Tara and taught them their fighting tricks; in case of an emergency.
One day Ron and Tara were returning from classes when they spotted an envelope with their names on it on the desk. The window in front of it was open which surprised the couple since they always had it closed and they were on the fourth floor.
Tara opened the envelope up and something fell out. When Ron picked it up and looked at it his eyes grew wide and Tara nearly fainted. It was the locket that Ron had given Tara and that she had given Kim.
The note inside read,
Dear Ron and Tara,
I am sorry for not saying goodbye, but I couldn't show myself. I want to be part of your family, but for now I need to go out and explore the world and rethink my life. I wanted to give the locket back to you in person, but with you two getting married I thought that you might want to have it now. Please tell Monique and Yori that I am sorry for leaving them, but I miss them; and all of you. Even though I haven't known you for long you two have been the greatest experience of my life. I hope we see each other soon!
LOVE, KIM POSSIBLE
Tara held the locket in her hand and began to cry on Ron's shoulder. They were happy that she was alive, but sad that she wasn't with them.
"Do you think we'll ever see her again?" asked Tara, giving Ron a small kiss.
"Oh yes; I think this is just the beginning."
THE END.
