Kim's eyes were wide in awe, jaw hanging low at the request of the green woman. "W-what.." She stuttered, staring at her in shock.
"You have to kill me! Do it now!" Shego yelled again. She herself was terrified. Not just of the current situation, but of everything. She wasn't afraid to die, what she was afraid of was being responsible for billions of deaths. Innocent deaths.
Kim didn't know how to answer. She just stayed in the same one-knee stance, fear and sadness covering her face. "B-But I.." She continued to stutter, shaking vigorously.
"You have to! Please! If I'm still alive, this world is in danger of losing every bit of life! So now put on your big girl pants, and kill me!" Shego grabbed Kim's shoulders and shook her with frustration. As she shook the teen, she saw the light whip of her head jerked a line of tears from her left eye. As soon as she saw the tear drop from her chin, she stopped shaking her.
The look in her eyes matched that of Kim's. The destroyed feeling, deep inside.
When she looked back up at Kim, she could see that pain in her eyes. It was an extreme burden, asking her to kill her own rival—and most recently, friend.
"Kimmie... listen to me, okay? We've spent years.. years fighting for different sides. For nothing more than a useless cause. I've watched you grow up from that shithead preteen... to the amazing person you are now. And as much as it used to pain me to say it... I am proud of you. So damn proud. In the end, you made me see the error of my ways and changed me. Along with many of your other enemies." She spoke softly.
Kim never thought she'd ever hear the woman talk to her like this. In her entire life. It wasn't ever something she'd dreamt of, but now that it was finally here... it hurt. Deep down it stung like fresh scrapes on her face.
That's when Shego finally let a few tears loose herself. Seeing the teenage girl she once wanted to end, now beginning to sob before her. Seeing her so broken, like she never had before. No one has, not even Ron. Kim was always a smart, cool-headed person. She had never felt inner pain like she had now.
"And for what it's worth... thank you. All those memories—good and bad—will never leave me. But Kimmie... this is how it has to be.." Shego felt the quiver in her lip start to grow as strong as Kim's. "Shego... I c-can't. I just c-can't.." She sobbed, barely being understood.
"Foolish bitch. Expecting a child to off you just like that. She will not stop our ascent to Godhood!" Shego then blurted out, as her eyes flicked back and forth again. She vigorously shook her head, regaining her conscience.
"K-Kim! He's regaining his power! You have to d-do it! Do it NOW!" Shego felt the sharp pain again, attempting to fight back. Continuing to sob, Kim stood up—still weak from damage— and stared at Shego. She flung her wrist out, extending the blade from her wrist she had used before. The sharp tip and the sides glowing red with a shiny black blade in the middle.
Shego watched the girl stand up, instantly knowing she was finally about to do it. She was actually going to kill, for the first time in her life. No teenager should have that burden on their shoulders the rest of their lives like that. That's why it hurt Shego so much to ask her to do so.
The two stared at each other, silence filling the void between them. There was nothing left to say. They both cried, knowing what was about to happen. Kim sobbed the hardest out of the two, as she took a step closer to Shego. This was the hardest thing she had to do as a hero.
She brought her elbow back, ready to drive it clean through her... friend.
"I-I'm sorry.." Kim sobbed to her hardest, as she gripped her hand into a fist. Her elbow cocked all the way back, but never launched at Shego. What is it?
"Cmon Kim! NOW! YOU HAVE TO DAMN IT!" Shego finally screamed with tears rushing down her cheeks.
"IMBECILES!" The Reaver's voice screamed through Shego right after.
"IF YOU WONT OFF THIS WRETCH, THEN I WILL!" It screamed again. Kim dropped her arm in confusion, as her sobbing stopped for a brief instant. And within a snap, Shego no longer felt any pain. As confused as Kimberly, she looked forward in a daze.
Then without warning, an even worse pain dug into her. She screamed louder than any siren, as she was then levitated a foot off the ground. The teen watched with shock and horror, as a glowing yellow light shined bright from her mouth, as it did her eyes. The scariest part, was what Kim saw next.
Shego's head, looked as if it was being bent by the neck out of shape. But what she noticed, is it looked like she was being cast out of the fiery body. It was as if the woman was shedding the demonic skin she had donned. Kim watch as her arms and fingers became free, now spread across her chest to the other side of her body.
Within seconds, Shego's entirely nude green body was free from the Reaver's grasp. As soon as the last of her toes were finally free, she dropped to the ground from the demonic form. She laid on the cold ground, shivering as her exposed body touched the snow. Mom could hear the chattering of her teeth as soon as she impacted.
"It's time I get rid of this wretched brat! And finally CLEANSE this world!" The demon yelled, catching both of their attention. When Kim looked up, she saw the empty shell of the fiery body, start molding back together—filling itself in where Shego's original body had been held. Buts it's shape started to change. It shifted into a more masculine form, no longer having to stick to a female body. "Now that I have all your power, I no longer need you." It laughed, looking at Shego.
"Shego! I'm gonna get you out of here okay? I need you to— AHH!" Kim was cut off, as a flaming flying kick plowed down and planted right on her chest. "You're not going anywhere, slave." The demon laughed, in its natural masculine voice. He held her foot on her throat, and she hit the ground. He began putting more and more pressure on her windpipe as it was close to bursting.
She didn't want to admit it, but she was struggling. Thinking of a way out of a situation like this was tough. Without thinking she quickly reached up with her blade, and sliced at the demon's leg. The weight of her body instantly dropped, as she saw the leg of the evil spirit drop right to the ground beside her.
The Reaver moaned loudly in pain, as he dropped to his hands and knees. It wasn't enough pain to cause him to scream in agony, as he saw the situation as more of an unpleasant annoyance. Kim quickly rolled back over, coughing and hacking as she tried to fill her lungs with more oxygen. As she exhaled deeply, she saw the last of the little droplets of blood fly from her lip.
Checking her corner, she quickly looked to her side at the evil demon. She then gasped in fear, as she saw his leg start to regenerate. For the Reaver it was a slow and tedious process, but his leg would be at full strength nonetheless.
As she tried to sit up, she felt a shooting pain in her ribs again from when Shego kicked her. Yeah.. definitely broken. She thought to herself, as she stumbled to get back to her feet. She even had to prop her arm up on the wall to give her a boost. As she was leaning against the wall and holding her ribs, she turned to look at Shego.
She laid in the exact same spot, staying still as a dead carcass. All her energy was gone and used up, so she passed out from exhaustion. Yup, ruling with an evil spirit can do that to you.
She's gonna freeze if I don't get her somewhere safe. Kim thought to herself, as she felt slight uncomfortable looking at a unconscious nude woman. But where would she go? Nowhere in the city was safe. Especially within her reach. Besides, she wouldn't get far before the Reaver caught up to them. Quickly looking around, she looked inside the building she was leaning against. She quickly peaked through the window, to see what was inside.
Huh... a mattress store. Kim raised an eyebrow, looking at all the soft beds in the store. She then quickly elbowed the glass window, shattering it to pieces. When she looked back at Shego, she took a deep breath. This wasn't going to be easy, it wouldn't have been easy even if she was at full health. Shego is a strong woman, so carrying her was going to be a challenge.
When Kim took her hand off the wall, she tried to take a step forward. As soon as she did, she dropped back to the snow once again. Her legs couldn't take the weight of her own body, much less another person with it.
"Damn it Possible... move!" She scolded herself. She then tried to get back up, moaning in pain as she once again used the wall. Finally getting back to her feet once more, she took her hand off the wall again. This time, she took a step with the opposite leg, hoping she could make it over to Shego. To her surprise, she was able to stay on her toes. She then took another step with the leg that took her down before.
She finally reached the spot where Shego laid, and leaned over to grab her arm. She knew she was about to see a whole lot of Shego she didn't want to see, but this was too urgent.
When she lifted her up by her arm, the entire front of her nude body exposed itself openly to the snowy city. She swung the woman around her, and held her bridal style. Out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't ignore the fully developed adult chest that Shego had. "That is so unfair." She said out loud, as she walked the woman over to the window. She carefully stepped through the shards of glass, and entered the store she had broken into.
She walked passed a few isles of mattresses, trying to find one as far from the front as possible. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a queen sized bed with navy and white sheets. The pillow cases had a mixed pattern of swirls and jags with the same color coordination. It was the bed closest to the back wall, and furthest from the reach of the evil spirit outside. She hobbled over to the bed, and carefully laid her down. It took the girl a second to find something to cover her up with, but eventually found a bag of couch blankets and opened it up.
Seeing her so vanquished, caught Kim's attention. She had never seen the woman look so empty. She had bags under her eyes that were almost as dark as her raven hair, and bruises that almost matched. It was hard to believe, but Kim was responsible for those bruises. She's the one that caused her body pains, not the Reaver. And in that instant, she began to realize what she was about to do only minutes before. Her eyebrows wrinkled and gave her a distraught look, as she watched the woman bundle up in warmth.
And I was about to kill her... Kim painfully thought. She knew a day like this would haunt her for years—if not the rest of her life. She couldn't even cry over it any longer. Her eyes were dried out, no more tears would fall.
"Focus Kim... focus.." She said softly to herself, as she turned her head to look back outside. The smooth pace of the soft snow falling almost gave her a sense of peace. Even in a time like this. Now she knew how Ron felt back at the cabin. She gave Shego one last look, before finally leaving back into the cold.
When she stopped back outside, she gasped with wide opened eyes.
The Reaver was gone.
