Kim and Shego glared daggers at each other. They were so mad that they failed to notice where Ron's hands were when he was pushing them apart.
"Here's what's going to happen.", Ron declared. "Me and Kim are going to look for this so called alien our way. Even you can't deny we make a good team Shego. And if you're so confident that we're all going to be killed, you can take the girl and keep her safe. Once we know what we're dealing with, we can regroup and make a plan."
Shego snarled at him. "Fine! But you take a weapon, and you shoot first sidekick."
With that, Shego grabbed one of the larger weapons in one hand and Yori with the other. The street the four were on ran alongside a canal and through a residential area. Shego took Yori and retreated into the surrounding houses.
"How can you leave Yori alone with her?", Kim asked him.
Ron stared deep into her eyes. "One, Yori's a ninja and a good one at that. Shego doesn't know that. Who else better to watch her while you scout around than a ninja hiding in plain sight? Second, Yori can take care of herself. C)Yori can take on Shego. Plus, we do make a good team. So I hope we can talk to this alien and not get into the fight Shego's itching for."
Kim actually calmed down. "So Potential Boy steps up. Good thinking. But how are you so calm in the face of all this?"
Ron shook his head and his hands. "I am so freaked out I'm trying to make a new word out of awkwierd and wrong sick. But I'm here with you. I'll always have your back, Kim. Even if it means working the canoodle."
Kim looked at his muscles under the synthetic material. "I can see you trying to work your canoodle, alright. Does that suit actually give you super strength?"
Ron shrugged. "Let's say I jump thirty feet straight up. Is that the suit or monkey mojo?"
"I see your point.", Kim agreed. "Alright, let's start looking for this Azerath Alien. Where should we start?"
Ron pointed off in the distance. "Maybe we should ask her?"
He was pointing at a blue cloaked figure with glowing white eyes. The figure turned towards them. It floated in mid air and sped toward them. The being stopped in front of them, and without dropping altitude, it's cloak bled down to the ground. The hood slid back to reveal what was once a sickeningly gray-skinned girl but was now a four glowing red-eyed, multi-fanged demon with growing violet hair. Then the shadows started undulating into tentacles.
Ron squeaked in alarm and jumped into Kim's arms. Kim set him down beside her with an even more peculiar look than usual, considering his alleged super suit and proven abilities as the 'Chosen One'.
The alien managed to turn its...her head to follow Ron. She raised one of her eyebrows as if sarcasm didn't require words to communicate.
Shego took that moment to jump from one of the surrounding houses roofs. When she ignited a hand in bright green plasma, there was no time left for the alien to respond. The villain burned/punched her way straight through the head of the alien in a single blow. Blood and bone and brain splattered on everyone. Shego hit the ground with a roll and came still in a crouching position.
"What the fuck?!", Kim exclaimed. She was too busy shivering from the feel of gore on her arms and face and in her hair to even try to shake it off.
Ron was swatting at the remnants of the being that had hit him.
Shego stood up flipping her hair to get the larger pieces out. "Don't worry. When Gantz brings us back, we'll be as clean as we left."
Yori came from the direction of the houses and pulled on Shego's arm like a lost child. "Is it ove?", she asked purposely slurring her 'r'.
Shego shrugged. "Well, you see/"
Yori cut her off by switching her grip on Shego's arm to the wrist and twisting the villain by the neck and wrist to the ground. The street shook with the impact. Shego nearly lost consciousness as most of her perception became raging headache.
"You will end your lies now, villain.", Yori stated with crystal clarity. "Or else it will be your honor to endure the finer points of a suit that bequests super strength."
Shego grunted in pain. "There's usually two stages, alright. One is the warm up, followed by a stronger one. Maybe we got lucky this time and that's all there was."
No. They did not.
