Don't panic, Kim. Just breathe...think of what you should do when you're surrounded by giant ants that wants to rip your head off with their mandibles and rend your flesh from your bones and I'll never be able to see Ron again and...
Something ran up her body and she almost shrieked in fright. Rufus stared at her incredulously and she calmed down a little. Right...Rufus...okay...forgot about him...and now I forgot about the ants, she thought, seeing that they had inched closer to her.
Okay...what to do? she tried to keep her mind focused. Her eyes darted about the place wildly to see what she could do. Okay, first things first..."Rufus, get in there and do what you do to stop this thing," she ordered the naked mole rat. He saluted at her and quickly scooted inside the device.
Now for the bigger problem, she winced as she looked at the giant ants as they closed in on her. Her thoughts raced, though this time the words 'giant ants' was the only thing that her brain was processing.
The first ant reached and snapped at her; she responded by leaping up into the air to avoid the bite and she landed on top of the QBFG with a slight thump. "Hey!" Rufus screeched in protest, sticking his body out to shake his fist at her, only to zip back in as an ant tried to bite him in two.
Okay, second thing, distract the ants away from Rufus. Kim let out a piercing scream as she kicked that ant, knocking it from the device and she somersaulted down to the ground, into the sea of ants.
Oh gross...she nearly threw up but she managed to force the bile down before she unleashed a barrage of blows against the ants around her, dancing around them as she avoided their snapping jaws. A few mandibles came close to catching her, snagging bits of her hair or her clothes instead but they didn't draw any blood and she kept on moving, attacking and weaving through the ants.
Dance, weave, punch, kick. No problem...easier than dodging lasers, she thought as she narrowly evaded another ant's bite and had another piece of her shirt torn off. To her, it seemed like she was barely making the dodges but at least it was working, she had drawn their attention away from the device and they were now focused on her.
In the midst of another dodge, she heard the sound of spluttering machinery and she shot a glance in the direction of the device: its light had dimmed and it was still as Rufus popped out of it, holding a blood-stained quartz in his paws. "Ta-da!" he chittered proudly.
"Yes, Rufus!" she crowed and launched a grappling hook into the ceiling, jumping up and swinging towards him. She grabbed him a moment before an ant's jaws snapped on him. "Gotcha!" she grinned and carefully placed him in her pocket, before she launched another line, this time swinging towards the windows. Releasing the line, she cannon-balled through the window, smashing it into shards of glass that rain out into the ground far below.
Spinning in mid-air, she launched a line into the tower again, arresting her fall as she used her momentum to swing back onto the roof once more, landing in the garden where Antropy, Ron, Yori and a large group of ants were busy battling each other.
"Antropy!" she shouted at him. "I think you just lost something!" Kim held up the blood-stained quartz. This elicited a huge howl of rage from him and he pointed at her. "Ms Possible! We had thought to do this the easy way, a simple bribe and restriction of your activities, sending Team Go away on a vacation...but you have insisted on this!" he hissed at her. "But you have refused everything we have thrown at you!"
She grinned at him and hurled the quartz to the ground before she stomped down hard on it, cracking it. "Well, I'm sorry to break the news to you, Antropy but it looks like your plan has quite the flaw in it right now," she said, eliciting a groan from Ron and a puzzled look from Yori towards him.
He snarled at her. "If our plans are going to fail...then we'll make sure that you all will fall with it too! Colony, make sure that none of those fools are alive!" he howled.
The ants rose as one and made a rush for the three teens. Ron and Yori took up defensive stances, Kim simply yelped and ran over to their sides. "You know, KP. Aren't you suppose to have dealt with your fears of giant bugs, right now?" Ron asked her as she hid behind him.
"Have you ever dealt with your monkey problem? Or your bug problem?" she countered.
"Point taken. Okay...stand back...time for Ron Stoppable to play knight in shining armor!" he grinned as he spring forward onto his hands, spinning around and kicking away at the ants that approached him for a brief moment before pushing himself into the air and landing on the ground once more, with a shock-wave that cracked the floor and knocked the rest of the ants onto their feet.
"Possible-san, perhaps we shall let Stoppable-san deal with the ants this time and we will take out their leader?" Yori said to her.
"You got a plan?" Yori responded by handing her one of the weighted chains to Kim. She took it and stared at it for a moment before she realized what it is that Yori was hinting at. "You want to hit him high or low?" she grinned.
"I have a preference for hitting...what is the saying, below the waist?"
"Close enough. Go for it," she said and began running for Antropy, twirling the chain rapidly above her head. Ron had already cleared a path for the two of them, leaving battered ants in his path and it was an easy thing, running up to Antropy. Once she was in range, Kim hurled one of the chain's weighted end directly at his head. He caught it with one hand and wrapped it around his fist, pulling Kim towards him in an attempt to knock her off balance.
She was prepared for this though, and her body flowed with the motion so that she was flying at him feet first. That, he did not expect and she flew into his head, causing it to snap back hard and he released his grip on the chain. While still in mid-air, Kim twisted her body again, round-housing him hard and the chain twirled, whipping so that it caught his wrist.
As the chain wrapped around Antropy's wrist, Kim caught sight of Yori who suddenly appeared behind the man. She slammed her foot into his knee, causing him to buckle slightly, which was enough for what she wanted to achieve apparently as she whipped her chain around his ankle, effectively tying him up. At this, the two girls nodded at each other and grabbed at their chains, pulling Antropy down in an undignified heap.
"Wha..." he spluttered before the two of them started to pull him towards the garden, more specifically towards two tall and stout trees. Moving quickly, they wrapped the chains around the trucks of the tree, binding him there in an awkward position so that he'd have to break more than a few bones if he were to wrestle himself from his bonds.
"And that," Kim said as she and Yori watched Antropy struggle against his bonds, "...is a wrap."
"No! It cannot end like this!" Antropy howled in rage as he struggled some more. "The colony cannot be defeated by non-powered mortals such as yourselves!"
"What? You want us to call Ron away from the giant ants so that he can knock you out? Would that make you feel better?" Kim said, feeling a little insulted by his words.
His response was to howl louder and struggle harder against his binds. "No, wait...you're going to..." she started to say when two sharp cracks could be heard and Antropy's arm and leg were suddenly twisted in a horrible way. Yori closed her eyes and looked away, disgusted by what she saw.
"The colony...we will grant the colony the world that it so desires," Antropy said, still desperately trying to break free of the chains despite of his broken limbs. Then his eyes glazed over and his head drooped down; his body became still.
"Antropy?" Kim said softly as the sounds of fighting started to die them around them. She reached out with her hand and touched his shoulder. His body was cold, as if he was...
His head jerked up suddenly, his eyes coal-black and faceted like an eye. "The colony will not surrender. We are the infinite army, omnipresent and ever vigilant," he intoned, his voice resonating in the air. "You have thwarted our plans to take over this world but we will not allow you to savor this victory for long," he pulled his arm and leg free from the chains and immediately collapsed to the ground.
"Is he insane? What is he..." Kim stopped and stared as two ant-like appendages burst out of his sides, pushing him up onto his one good arm and leg, like an ant who with two injured limbs. He rushed at them rapidly and they managed to throw themselves out of the way. He skittered away from them, heading back to the penthouse.
"What is he doing?" Kim said as she got back up to her feet. In the distance, the sounds of fighting became louder and she turned her head to see that Ron was busy fighting against an invigorated swarm of ants that was slowly pushing him towards the edge of the roof. Ron shouted once and a harsh glow enveloped his body, taking on the form of a fiery monkey as he got down on all fours, a toothy grin on his face.
"Okay...leave the ants to Ron," she said and grabbed Yori, pulling her close. "We're going after Antropy!" she launched her grappling hook and started swinging after the weird mutation. At the apex of the swing, Yori wriggled free and jumped ahead, tossing a capsule in front of Antropy, creating a cloud of smoke in front of him just as he was about to enter the penthouse. He let out a thrill of anger and turned about to look for another entrance, just as Kim released her line and launched herself at him, landing on his back and causing him to collapse to the ground.
"Give. Up. Already!" she punctuated each word with a sharp kick to his head and she somersaulted away from him as his two ant limbs reached up to attack her. Yori lunged forward at this time, a shuriken in one hand and a capsule in the other. Stabbing the blade into the capsule, she dodged to the side as one of the ant limbs slashed at her and she hurled the blade into Antropy's head. The blade flew true and he staggered back, reeling as his eyes took on a cloudy sheen.
Seeing their chance, the two girls launched a flurry of blows at him, hitting him in his face and chest as they forced him away from the penthouse. His movements were sluggish and incoherent and while Kim was certain that they weren't really hurting him, she was confident that this was enough to keep him occupied.
"Ron!" she shouted and she grabbed Yori's hand, spinning the other girl so that her feet was smashing into Antropy's head, knocking him of balance. Her boyfriend glanced up at the sound of his name, as he casually backhanded an ant that was about to attack him. He nodded once and started to back-flip his way towards them.
In turn, Yori forced her body down so that she was spinning Kim around instead. The latter released her hold on Yori's hands and she flew towards Antropy, launching a mule kick into his chest that sent him flying at Ron.
Screaming, Ron grabbed the ant-man in mid-flight and flipped around, suplexing him to the ground, which finally gave way after much abuse and the two of them plummeted through the levels, Ron still screaming as he held on tightly to Antropy as he bull-rushed him through each floor.
Instinctively, Kim ran towards the hole and jumped down through it, keeping her arms pinned to her side as she dove towards Ron. "Gotcha!" she shouted as she reached him and grabbed his belt. Twisting in mid-air, she launched a line up, snagging a piece of rubble that halted their fall as Ron released his grip on Antropy to hurl him further down and the two of them swung into an empty floor, whilst Antropy continued to crash through several layers of concrete still.
Panting, Kim peered down the holes that they had created. She could still hear the crashes as Antropy broke through each floor; she counted another twenty before it finally stopped. "You think he's finally out?" she asked Ron.
"Nah. He'll probably pop out in five, four, three, two, one..." Ron said cheerily as right on cue, a badly battered and bleeding Antropy jumped up from the hole. Without even missing a beat, he swung his fist into Antropy, sending him flying into the opposite wall.
"Now he's out," he said with a wry grin to Kim, as their opponent slumped down to the ground unconscious.
"Abooyah," she grinned back before she leaned up to kiss him fiercely.
