Ok as promised Resurrection has come out of hiatus for this chapter for several reasons. One because I was asked if I was going to continue and I would hate to feel as if I am leaving this story to die. The second is because I have been brainstorming and some very good ideas have popped into my head and need to be put to good use. So without further ado let's continue our adventure in the war against the Xenomorphs!
I do not own any of the characters seen in this fanfiction, it is for entertainment purposes only.
Ch. 7 The ally of my enemy
Everyone was trying to make due of what was left of their base after having to destroy a section of it while dealing with XeYori's brief return. Picking up the pieces of their lives as they were once again reminded that they were not safe in the presence of the xenomorphs. Kim looked around to see the defeated faces of everyone around them. Though they had driven back the threat it cost them dearly, and now precautions had to be made toward the north and east sides of the building. These repairs needed to be made as soon as possible who knows how long they would have before the serpents would return.
"Is it always like this?" Kim asked Ron who was carrying Shego on his back since Kim was too weak from the fight to do so.
Ron sighed. "Every day Kim the xenomorphs come closer to victory. If not here then somewhere else. Sometimes I wonder if we ever stood a chance at all."
"Of course you can stoppable…" Shego said. "We whooped their asses twice before, we'll do it again."
"Hey guys!" A voice cried out from behind them. Kim looked back to see Deadpool running up. "Did you guys see that beam? I was all like pew pew pew pew Murica. Then it was all like BBWWWWWWOOOOOOOONNNG! Inception!"
"Wade can you shut the hell up please?" Shego asked.
"Shut doesn't go up." Deadpool responded.
"My foot will when I stick it up your ass."
"Someone's a bit sore." Deadpool said with a chuckle. "Get it because you're bruised from your fight. You know you should ask our writer give you better lines and maybe one day you'll become a fan favorite too!"
Shego groaned she gave Kim a look that told the red head to blast him, but Kim just shook her head letting Shego know that wasn't going to happen. As they approached the base they saw Nick Fury giving out commands in regards to picking up the pieces.
Kim picked up her pace and Fury noticed her coming and stood her ground.
"Are you happy? Look what your experiment has done." Kim said.
"This happened because you went sticking your noise where it doesn't belong. You triggered something in that beast and that's why she went berserk."
"Berserk?" Kim said with a craned eyebrow. "That wasn't her going berserk. That was your hopes of controlling a monster blowing up in your face. XeYori wasn't something you could control Fury. These things aren't toys."
"Got any more surprises we should know about?" Ron asked Fury.
"Nope." He asked as he looked the young man in his eyes.
"This isn't the time to fight amongst ourselves." Wade interjected. "We have to begin relocating within the hour."
"Relocate?" Ron repeated. "Wade where are we going to go? We are surrounded by our enemies. Xita controls the area to the South of us, Xena has the North and Xeta is out East."
"Then we'll head West." Fury said.
"West?" Ron said with an incredulous look. "You would have us send this innocent people to their deaths. There is nothing but blood thirsty bandits out that way, Chad and his goons. There is no telling how many people we'd lose just trying to get out of the state!" Ron said stepping into Fury's face.
"Well what do you propose Stoppable? That we sit around here twiddling our thumbs until the xenomorphs come back and finish us off? Our perimeter has been breached we are no longer safe here."
"What would we do once we reached Go City? We already tried escaping by boat remember, we need to get help from someone outside the U.S." Ron said.
"No country is willing to help us anymore." Tiara said.
"Wait why not? These things are a worldwide threat. The UN should be jumping on this." Kim said.
"Like Ron said we had tried escape by boat. The East coast and the West coast, everyone was lining up to leave the country as the war began to take its turn for the worst. We were entering our second week of evacuations when Xena had caught wind of our plans."
"We were sacrificing our soldiers with the hope we could get everyone out of here. The plan was to evacuate everyone out of the states, and then detonate several nuclear warheads in the country." Ron said finishing for Tiara. "However Xena found out about our plan and coordinated with her sisters. They struck fast attacking several ports along the East and West coast. Sinking the boats as well as the allied naval ships of the other countries. She gambled that if we could not evacuate our citizens then we wouldn't detonate the warheads. She was right."
"In the end they trapped us here, making us prisoners in our own country. The allied countries then went with an airstrike but that did not come without cost to the lives of innocent people. However their leader Xeta came up with a counter measure to the airstrikes. The Flyers, or more precisely the Flying queens. With another two weeks having passed another edge in the war had been lost and the allied countries not willing to risk anymore losses pulled out of the war." Tiara said.
"They were able to eventually take down some of the advanced air and naval weaponry we could throw at them. They were sending a message to the other countries and they wisely heeded it. We lost a lot of great people during the evacuation, including your father." Fury said looking to Kim.
"We get it we can't stay here, but if we can't go to the West where do we go?" Shego asked.
"I have an idea but you're not going to like it." Ron told them.

A table flew across the room and smashed against the wall splitting the table and cracking the wall. A loud snarl followed as Xita one of the three children of XeYori raged at the news that was brought to her by Darkstalker. She hissed back asking the praetorian if he was certain about what he saw to which she was reassured about.
Xita roared as she grabbed another table and launched it out of the store and into the abandoned mall. She was angered that the life of her mother was taken from her, but if one thing was certain she was going to get revenge.

Somewhere in Western Colorado
The man known only as Chad was stationed at one of his outposts to the West. He was awaiting reports from his scouts to come in. He had received word of some strange activities going on in Upperton late last night. He was growing impatient especially since he wanted to get the jump on Kim Possible first. Her return actually unnerved him and he hated that it did, just as he hated that he had to report in to Xita every now and then. However he did so because he knew it would keep him alive, just as he knew eliminating Kim would do so as well. It was a matter of survival now.
Eventually though he hoped that Xita would let her guard down and then he could start making moves against her. Out of three Chad pegged her as the weakest of the sisters, so to him it was only a matter of time before he killed her.
He rose from where he was sitting in his room and walked out to see the men and women who followed him. He walked past not bothering to glance in their direction as they drank, played cards, laughed and occasionally had sex. All he cared about was if they knew how to use a gun. As long as they served their purpose and followed his orders he could care less about what else happens to them.
Chad walked outside as a black jeep pulled up. He stood there as he watched the vehicle came to a stop and three men stepped out. Two of the three men had blonde hair and were Caucasian while the others man's was black and was of Asian descent.
"So I hope you guys were able to prove that you can do more than sit around on your asses all day." Chad said.
"You're going to love this."
Chad looked down at the man's right hand and saw he was handing him a phone, on the screen of the phone was a video. Chad grabbed the phone and played the video.
"It's from last night reconnaissance, don't worry we skipped to the good part." The man said.
Chad watched as the video played, showing an evacuation of a facility with over a hundred people fleeing for the lives. As he continued to watch he saw a beast climb to the top of the facility and watched as it attacked the fleeing citizens.
Chad smiled, the beast he saw on the phone he recognized as the creature from a few years back, during the xenomorphs initial siege on Middleton.
"If I had to guess. I'd say Fury and his team failed their science project…Just like I said they would."
"There's more."
Chad resumed watching the video and saw a beam slam into the building killing XeYori. Once more Chad smiled.
"Hell they're making this to easy. You two." He said pointing at the blonde men. "Go gather everyone else tell them to be ready when we get back."
"We?" The Asian man repeated. "Where are we going?"
Chad only smiled and motioned for the Asian man to follow him as he got in the jeep.

Kim was with Shego as she was being bandaged by one of the few doctors they had stationed there. Shego had finally passed out, the fight with XeYori took more out of her than she thought and now her body needed to recuperate. Kim would have opted to healing Shego, but she was also exhausted and the only thing keeping her up, was the fact that she needed to hear that Shego would be ok. Kim looked up from where she was sitting when Ron walked in with his young son. She was still uncertain about Ron's plan. It was dangerous and it put everybody here at risk of being killed by either bandits or the xenomorphs. However the same could be said if they chose to stay here longer than they were allotted.
"How is she doing?" Ron asked.
"The injuries are really bad. Whatever metal that was used to reconstruct XeYori almost broke her in half. We're just lucky she heals fast." Kim said as she looked at the x-rays showing broken ribs and a few ruptured organs. There was internal bleeding and some fractures here and there, and that was only from the creature hitting her with her tail.
"I'm sorry Kim." Ron said as he looked at Shego.
"It's not your fault Ron."
"I feel like I let you down. You saved the world countless times and when the time came for me to step up to the plate I failed."
"No one could have predicted this outcome. The situation is bad true, but you all did the best you could. What we need to do is to somehow convince the allied nations in giving us a hand. I still can't believe they just backed out like that."
"We're facing unorthodox opponents. Normally carpet bombing them would solve the problem, then after words we could just rebuild. However their leaders are smart. They're masters of sabotage. Communication towers, backup generators you name it Kim."
"I get that. You know as well as I do that they didn't cover everything. It sounds more like they were herding you. We know how they operate, they need us to expand quickly. So if we can get a hold of a communications tower, primarily one with a strong a signal, we could radio for help."
"We've tried that. It's why Xita is keeping tight control over this area. But you're right. Still we can't contact anybody empty handed."
"What do you mean?" Kim asked her best friend.
"If we can kill one of them and present it before the UN then they would have to without a doubt reconsider." Ron said.
"That's a tall order Ron."
"I know that's why we need to secure a safer location until we can rebuild the damage done here. After that and only after that will we think about taking out Xita."
Kim nodded. "After all you have a wife and kid to worry about."
Ron looked down at his son who was looking around the room. He would hate to lose them in the war against the xenomorphs a war he felt that they were all losing until Kim and Shego had returned.
"Now I have a question for you." Kim said catching Ron's attention. "Who is this Chad person, you seemed pretty upset when you mentioned him?"
Ron sighed and took a seat next to Kim. "Chad was actually one of us. He worked alongside us after the watchtower fell and the xenomorphs attacked New York City." Ron said. "The man was smart, good at forming strategies. However as the war pressed on Chad became fearful of the xenomorphs. He believed that we were fighting a losing battle. It wasn't long after that he left us. But that's not why I'm pissed as fuck at the guy. I'm pissed because several weeks later he returned to attack us, leading a group of bandits into one of our facilities. The worst part was that he was working with Xita, a lot of people were killed that day…including Dr.P." Ron finished.
Kim was wide eyed. She could understand why Ron was so upset. This Chad had basically betrayed his people to their enemies. Tears had also begun well up in Kim's eyes. She quickly wiped them away before they could fall down her cheeks.
"What about my brothers?" The red head asked.
Ron offered a reassuring smile. "They're doing just fine KP. Actually I helped them sneak outta here so they could go get Joss."
"Joss? She's ok?" She asked her face brightening up. "Wait what about Uncle Slim?"
Ron sighed again which let Kim know more bad news was coming her way. "He fought bravely against Xita. Like I said we lost a lot of people when Chad betrayed us."
Kim hung her head low, her hands were balled tightly into her fists. Kim tried to fight back the tears but eventually they began to flow.
"I'm sorry Kim. I tried my best to protect everyone. If you need some time alone I can give you that."
Kim nodded and Ron got up. He rubbed her back before calling to his son.
"Ron." Kim called out to the blonde. Ron turned to see that her head was still lowered as if that would hide the tears she was shedding. "Thank you, you did the best you could. I appreciate it."
"No big." Ron said. "I'll see you in a hour."
Kim felt horrible. If they could have gotten back sooner, they could have prevented this or at least her father and uncle. Kim wiped away her tears and looked up to see the doctor was done with Shego. She hoped that Shego would be okay while she is gone. She didn't have that many people left just Shego, Ron, Tiara, her brothers and a few others. Kim needed to see if Wade had finished her other sword and she felt that she might need it in her next mission.

Middleton
Chad was walking through the abandoned Middleton mall with one of his bandits. The young Asian man took in the appearance of the area. The mall was a mess, and the building looked like it was ready to collapse in on itself. He wondered why Chad had come here and what was he expecting to find?
The man stopped walking when he saw where Chad was heading. Immediately recognizing the substance that lined the walls, ceiling and floor. Chad looked back when noticed the Asian had stopped following him.
"Stay there if you want but it'll be your funeral."
He hesitantly followed after Chad not wanting to risk being caught alone. After walking for a few minutes he began to relax and figured the place was abandoned. However he couldn't shake the odd feeling of being watched and every so often he would look behind him and see nothing.
They came to another part of the mall to see that unlock the entrance it was more intact. For instance Club Banana still had racks of clothes sitting around untouched for the most part. The black substance the xenomorphs used when creating their hives still lined the walls.
"This place is fucking creepy. It's like a ghost town in here." The man said as he looked over a railing to one of the lower floors. "What did we come here for anyway?"
"The answer to our problems. Kim Possible is back and I figured we need to do a ombined assault against her."
"With who?" The man asked.
He turned his attention away from Chad once he felt something drop into his hair. He reached up towards the spot and fell something wet. Looking at his hand the substance was slimy and immediately disgusted the Asian. He looked up and backed away with a loud scream.
A xenomorph dropped down from the ceiling hissing loudly as it slowly crept up on the two men. Soon more hissing sounds were head coming from behind. Looking back three more xenomorphs came crawling out from their resting spots.
The Asian man immediately drew his pistol and took aim. He fired three shots at the xenomorphs in the front, but the creature avoided the shots as it climbed onto the wall. Just before the xenomorph could lunge a roar filled the area.
The creatures halted their assault and Chad turned his attention in the direction of the food court where the roar came from.
"I see you're in one of your moods." Chad.
"And I see letting you live was a decision I deeply regret. Now tell me why I should let you leave?" Xita said as she came into view.
"Well I was figuring you would need a venue for your return engagement for Kim and Shego. I'd figure you'd want to kill her in the same spot her father died. You know like father, like daughter." Chad said.
"What makes you think I need your help?" She growled feeling insulted that he would suggest that she needs help in killing a weaker species.
"Forgive me my queen I did not mean to insult your abilities. Obviously you are more than a match for her. I just figured that she should come to you is all."
Xita's expression changed and Chad could tell she was thinking it over.
"By this time tomorrow I'll have her ready for you." Chad told her.
"You are the reason her father is dead, why would she trust you?" Xita asked.
"A good question your highness. Luckily Kim and her friends are in a very precarious situation and I'm about to give them an offer they can't refuse."
Xita smiled a bit amused, not by Chad's proposal but by the opportunity that had presented itself.
"Fine I shall allow this if only to amuse myself." Xita said.
Chad bowed before and the whole time the other man watched how Chad appeased the creature so easily. He was glad that the xenomorph was willing to let them go, but he made a mental note to stay far away from here.
"Oh and as a show of my allegiance to you, I have brought an offering." He said standing up. "I know it isn't much that's why I'm hoping by bringing Kim Possible to you, you'll see where my intentions lies." Chad told her.
Xita then turned her attention towards the Asian man, who upon realizing what Chad was talking about quickly grew fearful once more.
"You traitor!" He said as he took aim with his pistol. He kept it aimed at Chad and moved for the exit but the xenomorphs attacked from behind, pinning him to the ground. They looked at Xita seeing what their queen wanted to do with him.
"Harvest him." She said.
Chad watched as the man was dragged away kicking and screaming, to a fate worse than death.
"What are you still doing here?" Xita half growled. "Leave before I change my mind."
Chad bowed before the empress again before quickly departing. Chad smiled there couldn't have been a more opportune moment than the one shaping itself before him now. It was time to kill two birds with one stone.
Ok guys that was the setup chapter for resurrection and I'm sorry I have been gone for so long. Between work, updating and drawing out sketches for upcoming stories I happened to have burned myself out. However I plan to get back on schedule though as I have many people wondering what is going to happen in God of KiGo. So I'm putting this story on the back burner once more until further notice. I'm glad to be back though and let's get ready to pick up where we left off!
