A collective gasp of shock shook Kim out of her revery and she looked around. Her eyes widened when she saw what had provoked the gasps: Antropy had just walked in through the door, his costume in tattered rags and his body twisted in ways that shouldn't be possible in a living person. He saw her and gave her a pleasant smile, as if he was seeing a long lost friend that he had met in years.
"Ms Possible, the colony wishes to have a word with you and your friends," he said amiably, though with a strange echo in his voice and snapped his fingers. Ants burst out of every nook and cranny in the room, causing almost everyone to get up and leave in a panic. Plus side, Kim thought as she climbed up on her seat, flick-able ants. Minus side, Ron was having a panic attack right now, hopping up on his seat and screaming like a little girl.
"Yori!" she called out to her as she made a standing leap from chair to chair, avoiding the other panicking students before launching a flying kick at Antropy. Yori did the same, vaulting from her side and landed a diving punch on Antropy's face.
He looked at the foot and fist on his body and then gave the two of them a curious look. "You know that didn't work the first time right?" he said nonchalantly.
"Worth a second shot," Kim lifted her arm up and Yori pulled her arm back quickly before she fired a sonic pulse at him, snapping his head back with a loud crack. By this time, the other students have already left the room and there was an alarm ringing., Only Darnia and Ron remained in the class, she being terrified out of her wits to do anything and he also being too terrified out of his wits to really do anything either. Rufus had already scrambled out of his pocket and was doing his best to flick the ants away from Ron's body.
There was another sickening crack as Antropy forced his head back into its proper position and Kim and Yori jumped back, taking on defensive stances on nearby chairs, occasionally stopping to flick away the ants that were crawling up their legs. "And if that had worked the first time, I wouldn't be here now would I?" he said, sounding a little annoyed.
"What do you want, Antropy?" Yori said coldly, balancing herself precariously on the chair as more ants crawled up her legs. She flicked her legs every so often to knock them away but they still kept crawling up her.
"What do I want? It doesn't matter what I want; what matters is what the colony wants and the colony wants the two of you disposed off so that we may reclaim the power of Monkey and use it to rid this world of all life, save the ones that the colony deems necessary towards our betterment," he started to say. Kim sighed in exasperation: villainous rant alert. She turned to look at Yori, who glanced back at her, nodding slightly as she drew a shuriken from under her sleeve.
"Now, I am certain that you must be wondering about a lot of things. Why was the anti-QBFG destroyed? Why was he taken in the first place?" Antropy pointed at Ron.
"Er...not really. We stopped you from building your large-scale QBFG earlier and now we're going to stop you from trying to kill us. That should be okay with you, yes?" Kim asked as Yori hurled the shuriken directly at his throat. He twisted his neck out of the way and the blade grazed his neck, drawing blood as it impaled itself on the whiteboard behind him with a loud twang.
"It's very simple really: destroy the anti-QFBG and nothing can stop the original device from being activated! Your boyfriend here was nothing more than a happy coincidence: a more convenient and power source of energy than the one that we had originally planned to use. Even a drop of his blood contained much mystical energy to power a miniature version of the device that is potent enough to kill all life within a three mile radius," he continued as if he weren't interrupted.
"So you have already re-built this device?" Yori asked, looking a little alarmed.
"We lack his blood," Antropy pointed at Ron. "We desire it."
"Oh no! I'm not going to let you hurt my boyfriend again," Kim said angrily and turned on the hyper sonic emission on the Kimmunicator; she have had just enough of trying to brush away the ants on her legs. They immediately turned and crawled away from her, fleeing the piercing noise but she did feel a sharp sting as they left her; one of them must have bitten her. She hopped down from the chair and felt a strange sense of vertigo wash over her. "Wha..." she murmured, her hand going to her head to stop her vision from spinning.
"Oh dear...I think you were bitten, weren't you?" Antropy said with a sharp grin. "Did you know that there are so many different types of ants out there, Ms Possible? Crazy ants, slaver ants, ants that spray acid, poisonous ants."

She felt weak as she fell down to her knees. Yori and Darnia was by her side almost immediately, concern showing on their face. "Possible-san...take this..." Yori said, handing her a tiny bundle of leaves wrapped together tightly. Kim nodded and took the bundle, swallowing it.
"No one." She heard Ron say in a slow, angry manner. "No one messes with my girl." A gasp escaped Darnia's lips as the chairs around them began to float in the air, a blue aura surrounding Ron's body. Rufus scrambled away from Ron in a panic, running to the girls' side.
Kim shook her head and looked at Antropy, who merely smiled at Ron. "And what are you going to do about it, monkey boy?" he said, waiting for Ron's reply.
He responded by leaping up and sailing through the air, landing a dropkick on Antropy that drove him into the wall again. The older man shook his head, spitting out blood from the force of the blow and opened his mouth to speak but Ron's fist found his face first.
"No. One. Poisons. My. Girlfriend. Understand?" he growled, punctuating each word with a bone shattering punch. Antropy grunted, showing the first expression of pain that Kim had ever seen on his face. Then, with a grunt, he spat into Ron's face, who stepped back, howling in pain, his hands on his eyes as Kim saw thin wisp of smoke flow from between his fingers.
"Ron!" she tried to stand up but a wave of nausea washed through her body, coupled with the fact that the hypersonic emission was still active meant that she was having the worst headache of her entire life. Yori, however, stood up quickly and rushed over to Ron's side, pulling out two fans from under her clothes. As soon as she had drawn close, she swung at him with her left fan, only to pull back as he reacted by dodging to the right and she slashed at him with her other fan, drawing a small nick that oozed a thick line of blood.
He glared at Yori and made a backhanded fist swing at her but she managed to back-flip out of the way in time and while in mid-flip, she flicked her arms hard, releasing a fan of shurikens in his direction, which he took on his arm, leaving a neat row of blades on it.
This gave Ron the time to recover though and he sprang into the air again, wrapping his legs around Antropy's neck as he used the momentum of his jump to propel his opponent down to the ground. Antropy staggered up to his feet, just in time to see Ron charge up to him and launch a rising uppercut that propelled him into the air. Quickly, Ron jumped up after Antropy, launching a flurry of punches and kicks at him.
By this time, Antropy had recovered a little and began blocking and countering Ron's attacks. They rose and fell back to the ground, punching and kicking at each other all the way through. An instant before they landed, they both lashed out at each other with their feet, connecting with the other and they were sent flying to opposite ends of the class.
"Ron!" Kim shouted in concern as she tried to get up but a second wave of nausea washed through her and she released it by throwing up.
"Ewww..." Darnia made a face as Yori swung over to her side. "That is good...it means the antidote is working," the latter said in relief.
"Next time, can you give her something that isn't so gross?"
"I will try next time though I doubt the other antidotes are as effective as this one."
Antropy slowly rose to his feet at the same time that Ron did, touching his face and wiping the blood away. "The colony was right. You are quite the powerful one," he said and pulled the shurikens out from his arm without flinching. The blood on the blades oozed and dried up rapidly, coagulating within seconds.
"And I'm not even warmed up yet," Ron said lightly, flexing his arms. "You want a piece of me, Ant Man...oh...oh...now I get it..." he said, apparently noticing something and Antropy grinned at that point before he darted towards his opponent.
"Stoppable-san!" Yori cried out in alarm in an attempt to warn him. He looked back at Antropy a little too late; the older man had reached him and had slashed his arm with the shuriken. Ron yelped in pain and hopped back but Antropy followed the slash with a fierce roundhouse kick that dropped him almost immediately.
He looked at the bloodied blade in his hand and gave Yori a smile. "My thanks for giving me something to collect his blood with. Now I must go. I have a city to wipe out." He turned and ran out of the room as Ron staggered back to his feet, still stunned by the blow that he had just received.
Kim tried to stand up again and managed to this time even though she still felt nauseous. "Aaah...we're going to need to stop him again...I'm really starting hate this guy a lot...excuse me..." she said before she threw up again.

The police arrived not long after Antropy had left and Kim and Ron were taken away to the police station (as luck would have it, it was Precinct 48) as they were questioned about what Antropy was after. She was still nauseous for the most part and given her reputation and current condition, she was released soon after. Yori and Darnia were both waiting for her anxiously outside the precinct; it was about thirty minutes since Antropy invaded the university.
"Kim, you still puking?" Darnia asked her. She nodded in reply and promptly threw up into a nearby bush.
"You sure this is normal, Yori?" Darnia turned to ask the other girl.
"This certainly is not. But I assume that it is merely the potent nature of the poison that is coursing through Possible-san's veins. She will be fine in time," Yori said reassuringly.
"Right..." Kim said hoarsely. "Wade, you have anything on Antropy right now?" she asked, lifting her Kimmunicator so that she could talk to Wade.
"Yeah...I'm getting a weird kind of energy reading from underneath Go City. I'm guessing that's where the..." there was a weird static that ran across the Kimmunicator's screen.
"Wade, what was that?" Kim asked, as Yori and Darnia gathered around her, looking at the Kimmunicator.
"That's weird...the energy reading just spiked up all of a sudden. It's similar to the QBFG readings that scientists had recorded earlier but there's something off about it," he said, as a pop-up of two energy signatures appeared on the screen.
"Sounds bad. Check up on Doctor Hasegawa and see if he managed to get the anti-QBFG working again. I think we might be needing it," Kim said. "Yori, go get ready to kick ass. Darnia...find some place safe to hide."
"Got it Kim...and..." the weird static happened again, this time stronger than before. "Kim...los...can...ad me?" she could barely hear Wade say before the Kimmunicator screen went blank.
"What was that?" Darnia asked curiously while Kim checked her watch to see if it was working. Everything was working fine (well she didn't give the sonic pulse emitter a test obviously) except for the communication channel with Wade. She took out her cellphone and checked the signal bar. There wasn't any.
"Okay...I think we just stepped into a horror movie here," Kim said. "No signal. I think that energy reading Wade was talking is jamming all sorts of communication signals."
"So we do not know where Antropy is right now?" she asked.
Kim nodded. "I'm afraid so."
