Well folks… here it is. The last chapter. (whew) This was a blast to write! It's the longest Fic I've ever done, and because of that, the most hits/reviews I've ever received on one work. (That's sooo cool) So first let me thank ALL the people who have read this, as they ARE the hits on my stats page. I also need to thank all those who left a review for the last chapter: captainkodak1, AtomicFire, romantic-cancer, trecebo, Alphamech, Yankee Bard, DuffKilliganFan, Goinghome, Star-Eva01, US.Steele, kim's 1 fan, and RealityBreakGirl… (You're all the best!)

Note: I am also posting an epilogue immediately after this is posted.

So with little fan-fare… (drum roll please…)

(Oops, let me sneak in the disclaimer one last time: Ya know what? Read all the other ones I put at the beginning of the other chapters. They all say the same thing…)

Chapter 25

Looking down on the destruction of the building, the area destroyed appeared to look like a giant foot had stepped down on it. The area of collapsed roof was roughly in the shape of a U, and a large portion of the wall had fallen inside this area, still intact. Dust rose and broken pipes sprayed water around the area.

"Think they survived?" Drakken asked as dust and smoke rose from the destruction.

…x x x x…

"Ron? (cough, cough)… Ron! Can you… (wheez) hear me?"

"K… Kim?" Ron called out, his voice not much more than a whisper. "I… I can't (cough) see you."

"I'm right here. I can see you with my bionic eye. (cough)"

"Let me try…" Suddenly a blue light emanated from one of Ron's hands, illuminating the area the two were in with a pale blue light. What Ron saw shocked him! "Kim! Are you… OK?"

She was standing over him with her arms stretched upwards, the palms of her hands pressing against concrete. Ron could see a few cuts on her upper chest where her real skin was, and could see where her shirt had soaked up some blood. Kim also had a few small scratches and cuts on her face, and a portion of skin on her left arm was missing, exposing the internal workings of the bionic arm.

"The arm's OK. I guess if enough of the skin is removed, it can't repair itself." Kim replied when she saw that Ron was looking at her arm. "You didn't come out un-scathed either."

"Huh…?" He said, and Kim nodded her head at him.

"Looks like you've got a nasty cut on your head. Whatever hit you there, must have also knocked you out."

"Does it… (cough) ruin my good looks?" A strange electronic sound came from Kim. "What was that?"

"Umm… Ron? I… think I've figured out my limits."

"Really? What do you…" The strange electrical sound occurred again, and this time Kim's hands slipped a bit on the concrete above her.

"I think this slab of concrete I'm holding up is just a little bit… more… (cough) I… don't think I can hold this much… (grunt) longer." Her feet slipped a bit on the floor. "This thing is really heavy. Think you can… (cough) help?"

"But… how can I…" A thought entered Ron's mind. "Kim?"

"Y… yeah Ron?"

"I think I may have a (cough)… an idea. But it might be a little freaky. For you."

Kim's hands and feet each slipped a bit more against the concrete and this time her elbows slightly bent from the tremendous weight they were attempting to hold up. "Whatever you're going to (cough) do… I think you better hurry!"

Ron stood up, as he had been sitting on the floor ever since he had come to. "Trust me…" Was all he said, wrapped his arms around her, and held tight with his left cheek pressing against hers.

Kim closed her eyes at Ron's embrace and began to feel warm, but not hot. Immediately she felt… strange. Opening her eyes just enough to see what was happening, she saw Ron's body start to glow a faint blue. White arcs of electricity raced over his body, and began to wrap around her. The feeling of oneness with Ron overwhelmed her, and she closed her eyes again

"Kim…? Can you hear me?" She heard, or did she… feel it?

"Ron? This is kind of… weird. What are you doing to me? It's… almost as if I can feel you. All around me. It's like we've…

"Melded together?"

Yes…

This is something that Sensei said I should be able to do eventually, with more training. But we never really finished it. I guess I did it right. Do you feel stronger now?

Yes! Yes I do!

Good… Now here's what I want you to do. Slightly bend your elbows and knees, and then in one quick motion straighten yourself back up. Think of yourself like a jackhammer. The weight of the…

…slab should snap it in half! She thought, finishing his thought. Ron! You're a genius! After it snaps, I'll only have half of this thing to work with. I think I can live with that…

Keeping her eyes closed, Kim lowered herself a bit as Ron said, and then snapped herself back up. A loud crack was heard, but the slab of concrete still stayed solid.

Again! Was Ron's last thought, and she did it again.

This time an even louder crack was heard, and suddenly the slab of concrete snapped in half just a few feet behind Kim, and part of the wall fell the rest of the way to the floor, just missing them! The displacement of air blew dust and small bits of concrete around them, and blew Kim's black hair all over! It was as if a tremendous amount of weight was lifted off of her hands! Ron separated himself from Kim, and she opened her eyes just in time to see the blue glow and arcs of electricity fade away.

"Th… That was… amazing!" Kim exclaimed, and then Ron collapsed onto the floor, unconscious. "Ron…!"

…x x x x…

Shego and the rest of the group of villains stood there after the initial collapse for about a minute or two, wondering what they should do. Should they try and help the two people that they were always fighting? Do they dare… Do the right thing?

"It… doesn't… feel right. Does it?" Drakken said, breaking the silence. "Just leaving them to die. After she… saved us."

"C'mon Drakken! Grow a pair, why don't ya!" Shego screamed in his face, her hands clenched and glowing a bright green. "That's Kim 'Freakin' Possible in there! The same Kim Possible who continually thwarts all of our attempts to take over the world! It's only the P… the Prince… (huff) Princess…"

Drakken placed a hand on the green woman's shoulder in an attempt to calm her down. Shego just turned and shrugged her shoulders to get his hand off of her. "Get away from me Drew! Leave me alone!" Drakken didn't see the single tear that fell from one of her green eyes.

After dowsing her flame and crossing her arms, Shego now stood facing away from the destruction, and Drakken's hand just dropped down at his side. All of the other villains were watching this little mini-drama unfold when all of a sudden they heard a loud "Crack" come from the debris field.

They all turned around… all except for Shego that is, and looked at the large piece of concrete that easily extended 100 to 150 yards into the building. Staring at the debris field again, not sure at what they heard, when another loud "Crack" sounded, and over half of the slab of wall fell the rest of the way in! Large clouds of dust and concrete particles were thrown into the air, and began to slowly settle.

All of their eyes opened just a little bit wider when they saw an edge of the concrete slab that didn't collapse start to rise from the destruction.

…x x x x…

Light filtered through the clouds of dust, giving Kim a fairly good view of what her current situation was. Keeping her arms extended up, she began to walk towards the next closest edge while keeping an eye on Ron. She saw a bit of movement in his pocket, and saw that Rufus was starting to come to from their expenditure of energy. Hopefully Ron wouldn't be far behind.

When Ron had melded his energy with her, she had also felt the little guy's presence. It was almost overwhelmed by Ron's, but not quite. Both of them had given themselves fully and freely to give her the energy to free them. She wasn't about to let them die!

They had gotten lucky… very lucky. The piece of the wall that had broke off and fell the rest of the way was by far the largest part. The piece Kim was currently under was no more that ¼ of the entire piece when it was all one chunk, and it was about a foot thick. She was in an area where she was able to lower the edge, and look over the piece to look around to see what was else was around them.

Holding the chunk of concrete like a large flat tray, Kim saw how much of the building had collapsed. "Whoa…" Her breath from the word stirred some dust in front of her face.

Kim lifted the edge back over her head effortlessly, since it really only weighed about 2 or 3 tons, and then walked herself towards the approximate center. She quickly looked over at Ron, who was now stirring a bit and waking up.

Kneeling down and bending her arms as far has she could, Kim then quickly raised herself back up and extended her arms, literally flipping the piece of concrete over on it's edge, and toppled it away from them! Bright light from the late afternoon sun assaulted their eyes, and both teens raised a hand to block it out as they squinted. Rufus just ducked himself back into Ron's pocket.

Kim offered a hand to help Ron up, and they looked into each other's eyes. "I knew you could do it, Kim" They leaned into each other, and their lips met in a kiss that tasted of tears and concrete. Neither of them cared as they were alive.

Rufus saw them kissing and just said, "Yuck…"

…x x x x…

Thump Thump Thump… The beating of helicopter blades cut through the air as GJ circled the area with 2 helicopters that were slightly damaged, but operable. After Kim and Ron crawled out of the debris of the building, they walked up to the group of stunned villains, their eyes wide with astonishment.

Drakken spoke first as dust and dirt began to swirl around them from the landing helicopters, which were about 100 feet away, opposite of each other. "But that's… impossible!"

Ron responded to Drakken's astonishment "I think you mean Kim. Kim Possible. But as I've said before, that's a common mistake." Ron said.

"But… But…You… You're supposed to be dead!"

Kim shook some more dust from her long black hair, then looked at Drakken and the rest of the group. A devious little smile appeared on her dirty face, and she spoke with a slight southern accent. "Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated." It was then that Kim saw the back of Shego as she stood there with her arms crossed.

"What's wrong with her?" Ron asked, as he had also noticed Shego was the only one not looking at them.

Suddenly Shego turned around with a sneer on her lips, and quickly strode right up to Kim's face, who took a step back at the woman's sudden movement. Shego's eyes were rimmed in red, almost as if she had been… crying? She raised a finger up in front of Kim's face.

"Look here Princess…" Shego said with malice in her voice, "If you think for one minute we're going to be all goody goody just because we worked together for a little bit… then you are sorely mistaken! I'm not going to pretend I know what's going on with you, 'cause I don't! What I've… seen you do… it's… it's… inhuman! And don't think for ONCE that I'm going to be scared of you, because I'm not! I'll still take you on, anytime… anywhere."

Shego turned and started to walk away from them. She grabbed Drakken by his coat and began to drag him towards their hidden flying car. She turned her head and yelled back, "Oh and Stoppable! I DID NOT forget about that wedgie!"

Kim and Ron watched the two villains walk away, shrugged at each other, and then turned towards the rest of the group. By now about 10 GJ agents had circled them, and one asked Kim if they should detain Drakken and Shego.

"No." Kim said. "Let them go. They had nothing to do with this. It was all Big Daddy Brotherson and Phillipe Boullion. I just wish they didn't get away."

"Oh Lass…" Kim turned towards Killigan. "I've got a little present fer yah."

The Scotsman handed Kim a small PDA-type of device with a large screen. "When no one was looking, ah sent a tracking ball onto the back bumper of th' jeep with ma pitching wedge. It's stuck on there by a pretty strong magnet. Follow that there device, and yew will find them."

"Wait…" Ron started to say with an accusatory lilt to his voice. "Why didn't the magnet stick to your golf club?"

"Magnets don't attach to aluminum, ya dolt."

Ron bristled. "You better watch it you dress wearin', fuzzy faced…"

"Boys! Boys!" Kim said loudly, stepping between the two before they started swinging punches. "Can't you two get a long for 5 minutes?"

"Maybe four…" Killigan said.

"Not even for three…" Replied Ron.

Suddenly from seemingly out of nowhere, a GJ medic stepped up to Ron and began to clean the cut on his forehead. "Ouch!" He said, flinching away from the medic.

"Mr. Stoppable!" She said in a stern voice that belied her small stature. "If you don't stand still, I can't clean that wound! You don't want to get an infection, do you?"

Ron crossed his arms and let the female medic clean the cut on his head, wincing when she was a bit too rough. She put an anti-bacterial on the cut, and then slapped a large bandage over the wound. "There. At least you don't need to have stitches. But you are going to need a tetanus shot later before you're released."

He huffed a little and looked over at Kim, who was also having her scratches and cuts tended to. Just as the medic working on Kim took a swab to one of the cuts on her face she called out, but not because of the rough treatment of her wounds.

"Hey! There's no need to arrest them!" She was addressing the agents who were placing handcuffs on all of the villains that were previously tied up, including Duff Killigan. "They had nothing to do with this! There's no need to arrest them!"

"We need to at least take them in for questioning, Miss. Prob… I mean Miss. Possible." Agent Will Du walked up to them with his hands behind his back. Off in the distance, the sound of a small jet engine whined and everyone turned to look where it was coming from.

Drakken and Shego took off like a shot in their flying car. "After them!" Du shouted, pointing at the rapidly diminishing trail of smoke.

"No!" Kim yelled, stopping the agents in their tracks before they could climb back into the V-TOL jets. "Belay that order! Right now we need to track down and find the two who were really behind all of this! Now un-cuff those men! We will also need to have Duff Killigan with us when we go to the nearest base of operations to give our report."

Kim looked at Will with hooded eyes. "You do have a working base of operations now, correct?"

"Of course! It has been under my…"

"Under my command." Betty Director said as she walked up behind Will. "Now, Special Agent Du, take those restraints off those men, and bring them to our base for questioning. They are to be under house arrest only, is that clear?"

"Yes Ma'am." He said with a slight downcast look, and left her to go remove the cuffs.

"Kimberly Anne Possible," She continued while extending her hand, "Welcome back to the land of the living."

Kim just looked at Betty with her mouth open, and after a short moment finally found her voice. ""You… you mean… I'm me again?"

"Yes Kim, "Betty Director said smiling, "GJ may take a black eye for this, but the organization is going to make a statement of full disclosure to the world about your faked death. Big Daddy and Boullion may be on the run, but we'll catch them. There's no need for you to be under cover anymore."

Tears welled in Kim's eyes as she stepped forward and enveloped the woman in a hug that took Betty by surprise. After a moment of mild shock, she returned the embrace, and Kim spoke as she held the hug just a bit longer. "Thank-you Betty, Thank-you for everything."
