Chapter 3

Cut off

A few minutes had passed after Kim had watched her long time friend die before her eyes by some unknown villain. She wanted to be undeterred by this, but how could she. She had always fought villains with the slightest of ease, but this was different, it was an extreme that she had never faced.

Kim put away her communicator and began to cautiously walk around the large lobby. Her eyes wanted to avoid the two unfortunate guards, but she found herself walking to them. She carefully leaned close to them, noting that whatever got them, it didn't even give them a chance to react. Their uniforms were soaked in blood, but there were no signs that any weapons were used.

"What could have done this to them?" she thought to herself. She carefully pulled them both away from the desk and started rummaging through the desk, in hopes of finding a key or map or something. And on the top of the desk she noticed the blood drenched security monitor. Its screen was covered with blood and something else, something "chunky".

Her finger pushed quickly on the power button, turning it on. The screen flickered on. It revealed a slideshow of rooms and hallways. All of them were empty and dimly lit, but when she was about to turn away, one of them showed signs of life. She pressed the hold button and watched the room.

Kim's eyes focused on the figure, they were walking backwards shooting green energy blasts from their hands, it was Shego, and she looked like she was in trouble.
