Chapter 8

Sub-Level 2

The Elevator came to a complete stop and the elevator doors slid open. Kim and Shego stepped out of the elevator and looked around, everything was eerily quiet. Sub-Level 2 appeared to have been untouched by the murderous creatures. Unconsciously, they knew that things wouldn't be as cut and clear as they appeared.

"So what's down here?" Kim asked, "You seem pretty confident that this is where we want to be."

"The very first time that me and Drakken were here, we were actually here looking for this level. We heard rumors that this is where they keep all the good stuff." She replied.

"What do you mean by that?" Kim asked, as Shego walked over to each door in the large level, each clearly marked. Shego became a bit oblivious and continued door hopping, reading the signs carefully.

"Advanced Engineering… Extraterrestrial Bio-Engineering…" Shego muttered to herself.

"You know, if you told me what you were looking for, I'm sure that we'd find it twice as fast…"

"Biological Research… Experimental Weapons Research!" Shego grabbed the door handle and jiggled it, but the door was locked. She and Kim both kicked the door open and walked in. The room was freezing and an alarm activated, it wailed loudly and a thick shutter dropped behind them.

"Primary Defenses Activated" A computerized female voice said. Dozens of hidden panels on the walls and ceiling opened, revealing various turrets. They quickly locked onto the two girls and began firing at them. Kim and Shego quickly dodged each shot with expert precision, both of their nimble and athletic bodies leapt into the air. Shego fired energy blasts at them, disabling them, and Kim kicked and punched the remaining ones. Both of them let out a sigh of relief, but just when they relaxed a little…

"Secondary Defenses will be activated in five minutes" The computerized voice said.

"Over there!" Shego pointed, after catching something in the corner of her eye. The two girls ran as fast as they could to a door on the opposite end of the room. The sign read "Authorized Personal Only" and had a keypad. Shego smashed the device and the door whooshed open, inside were countless of exotic weapons and suits.

Kim walked around the large weapons room and looked in awe. There were weapons that were completely unfamiliar to her, but what caught her attention, as Shego picked up a weapon, was something that looked like her battle suit. She opened the air tight case that it was in and carefully pulled it out. The material seems far lighter than hers.

"Wha'cha got there Kimmy?" Shego asked, noticing Kim check the suits size to her body. "Oh…" she smirked. "It looks really similar to your battle suit doesn't it?"

Kim quickly read the monitor next to the case that housed the suit, it read; "Final Battle Suit Pro-type" Kim turned it around and pulled the zipper down, "Can you turn around?" She asked Shego, feeling a bit bashful.

"Oh, c'mon Kimmy, we're both girls." She smiled.

Kim blushed, but wasted no time, she shyly undid her pants and slipped out of them. Lastly she took off her dirty, torn and bloody shirt. Her clothes on the floor, she could see Shego smiling evilly. Just as Kim was about to put on the new battle suit, Shego approached her, and stopped her.

"You can't have anything underneath Kimmy." Shego smiled ever so evilly.

"You're kidding, right?" Kim replied.

"Nope, wish I was, but I'm not, read the monitor on how to use the suit." Shego pointed to the monitor, and tapped on a specific sentence. "Subject wearing the suit must not have any clothing underneath. So as to not interfere with the nano-technology, which bonds to the users body." She smiled. "Take it all off Shego smirked, almost wanting to see Kim in the buff.

Kim turned around, hesitantly, and undid her bra, it fell to the ground and Shego laughed quietly as Kim grabbed her panties and pulled them down, kicking them away. She immediately grabbed the battle suit and stretched it out.

"Aww... it's a shame to see you hide that pretty body behind that drab suit." Shego smiled. Kim turned and faced her, almost forgetting that she was nude.

Taking a deep breath she shook off the bashfulness and looked at Shego, "I guess there's no point in me pretending…" Kim said.

"Hmm?"

Kim grabbed Shego by the back of her neck and pulled her close, kissing her on the lips. "It's no fair that you got to do it to me" she smiled. "Maybe once we're done with this, we can…" but before she could finish, the computerized voiced echoed loudly behind them.

"Secondary Defenses Activated…" it said. The voice sounded deep and slow, almost as if its power were being drained. Kim quickly put the suit on and pulled the sleeves up tightly. The material bonded to her every curve, hugging her tightly.

The room began to shake and the destroyed turrets slowly retreated back into their hidden housing. The lights in the room went from red to white. All the power seemed to return to the room, but a section of flooring hissed, as compressed cold air escaped from it. The floor tiles split down the middle and a large container began to rise.

"What is that? Shego asked.

"I guess that's our next challenge." Kim replied.

The container came to a stop. It shook the foundation underneath it as small openings appeared around the corners. The hissing of various tubes inside could be heard flailing about, smacking the inside walls. Shego holstered her weapon and tightened her fists, the green energy glowing ready. Something inside breathed deeply, as the walls of the container slowly began to open, when the room went completely black.

Shego could see Kim in front of her and she moved slightly to the right, when suddenly, something brushed her from behind and whispered, "Join us." Before Shego could turn around, she felt dozens of cold claw like hands grabbing her from every limb, clenching tightly onto her.

"Kim!" she yelled.

The lights flickered back on, and the room was fully lit once more, Kim turned around, but it was too late. Something had taken Shego and left no trace that she was ever there. Kim panicked, unsure of what to do, when she heard the sound of the container walls hitting the ground. Taking a deep breath, she turned around, the cold haze steadily dissipated into the air, as a figure began to appear from it.

"Drakken!"
