-Oath of the Indigo Tribe

Sector 2814. Planet Earth. Middleton USA.

"I really hate reruns," Ron Stoppable, the Blue Lantern of Earth said in a shaky voice. He was being faced by the actions of the recent past. Before him stood the Lorwardian invaders Warhok and Warmonga, reanimated as Black Lanterns.

"It's no big," Kim Possible, a member of the Green Lantern Corps Honor Guard said. "We know how to take these Black Lanterns out!" Her ring lit up with pure willpower. "Green and Blue, remember?"

"This is different, child," Warhok sneered. "The Glowing One knows that he is the reason we are like this. It is his fault we died!"

"Yes," Warmonga added with a lipless grin. "He murdered us."

Ron was slowly backing away from the undead menaces before him. Had it been anyone else, it would be different. Even if Monkey Fist had been brought back as a Black Lantern it would be different, since it was his own actions that sent him down the path of the Yono. But Warhok and Warmonga died at his hands. Self defense or not, Ron had killed them. The psychological advantage was theirs.

"Like the Sqweeb could take you," Gil huffed. "He doesn't have the stones to kill, but I do!" The Red Lantern charged, spewing corrosive red blood from his mouth and ring. "Burn!" he shouted before being swatted away like a fly.

"Yes, the Outsider is too cowardly to do what must be done!" Fukushima agreed. The Sinestro Corpsman was about to strike when he heard laughter from above him.

"You would know of cowardice, would you not?" The skeletal form of Toshimiru was floating above Fukushima. The Black Lantern formed a replica of the Lotus Blade from his ring. "Now, I believe we were in the middle of a battle before you ran away like a frightened dog!"

"Bad to worse," Monique muttered when she came out of the Possible home and saw the gathering Black Lanterns.

"Worse than you think, kid," another voice taunted. The Black Lantern that had been Mego went from being miniscule to fifteen feet tall. "Hey there, sexy momma; going my way?"

"Gross!" Monique fired a beam that encased Mego in a violet crystal. "We got trouble, guys!"

"You have no idea what trouble really is, girl," the hulking Hego snickered as he landed beside his encapsulated brother. "But you soon will."

Shego, who had taken refuge with her family in the possible home after the Black Lantern of Kim's grandfather had been rendered inert, poked her head out the hole in the wall. "Mom, stay put. If Mel and Herman are here, then Dad can't be far behind."

"No you don't, Sheila!" Lucy Gordon exclaimed. "I lost two of my sons to those things! I am not losing my daughter, too!"

"Your mother is right, young lady," Kim's nana said. Since encountering Ron's blue ring, the hope she had lost when she saw her reanimated husband had been restored. "Let Kimberly Anne and Ronald handle this. Their rings seem to work better than anything."

"Besides," one of the Wegoes said, "Dad, Hego and Mego are gunning for us, too."

"I don't like hiding, Wyatt."

"Neither do we," the Wego named Wyatt said. "But right now it's safer."

"Fear," the Toshimiru's ring reported when he confronted Fukushima.

"You are afraid to die," the Black Lantern sneered. "A true ninja warrior faces death with his head held high and a sword in his hand. Yet here I am, empowered by death personified, and you cower like a frightened child!"

Fukushima formed a katana and several enregy duplicates of himself with his ring. "You cannot, as the Americans say, psyche me out! I will vanquish you!"

"Loo out, Monique-san!" Yori called out, firing an indigo beam at Mego, who had been broken out of his crystal prison by Hego. The beam struck the Black Lantern, sending pieces of him flying. That damage quickly regenerated.

"Now what?" Monique asked, clearly terrified.

"We must get closer to Kim Possible so I may access her light!"

"Say what?" the Star Sapphire demanded.

"I can mimic the lights of the others Corps," Yori explained, taking flight. "But I must have the bearer of that light near me. Come!"

"How one such as you defeated us I will never know," Warhok taunted as he pursued Ron through the Middleton night sky. "Show us that great power you displayed before! Show us your might!"

"I don't have it anymore!" Ron screamed.

"Then all you are good for is the fear in your heart, Glowing One." Warhok, flying with a ring construct of his old flight harness, closed in and saw the raging blue and yellow auras surrounding the Blue Lantern.

"Hope. Fear."

"Only a fool feels hope at the end."

"Hope is the strongest light of the spectrum, dude," Ron retorted, mustering all the courage he could. He channeled his hope through the ring and fired a blast right through the Black Lantern's chest, knocking him back several feet. "KP! I could use some help here!"

"Kinda got my hands full right now, Ron!" Kim was tangling with Warmonga, who was demolishing Kim's ring constructs almost as fast as she could generate them.

"I have even more reason to loathe you now, girl," Warmonga spat. "You wear the brand of the Guardians! Green Lanterns are hated among my people!"

"Ask me if I care!" Kim shot a tendril of green energy at Warmonga, making it coalesce into a lasso when it looped around the undead alien. She spun the warrior around in the air and threw her towards Ron. "Ron! Incoming!"

"Gotcha!" Ron bathed Wormonga in the full extent of the blue light, weakening the black ring so Kim could take the kill shot. "It's all yours, Ki- aaaahhhhhh!"

Warhok barreled into the Blue Lantern, sending him flying at high speed to the ground below.

"RON!" Kim broke off the attack and threw a blob of green light towards Ron, encasing him in a glowing green airbag to cushion his fall.

"It is unwise to take your eyes off an opponent, girl!" Warmonga, riding a ring construct of her rocket board, flew right at Kim at breakneck speed. Kim barelt got a shield up in time; the force of the imact threw her back several feet. "You will find that we will not fall as easily this time."

Yori and Monique flew through the night towards the fight Kim was waging against Warmonga. The Black Lantern Team Go was in hot pursuit, along with their father Joe Gordon. "Now I'm wishing I said no when this ring came to me," Monique said.

"You could make no other decision, Monique-san," Yori said calmly. "Just as I could have made no other choice when I was presented with this indigo ring. We are where we must be for this battle."

"Destiny's not really my thing, Yori," Monique countered, firing off another shot to slow the Black Lanterns down.

"You may not believe in destiny, Monique-san, but it certainly believes in you. There, I believe we are close enough. Quickly! Unleash your beam upon those monsters!"

"You don't have to ask me twice!" Monique opened fire, blasting the nearest Black Lantern, Mego, with the full intesity of her light. Yori quickly joined in, adding her indigo beam to Monique's violet.

"Now," the Indigo Tribeswoman said in concentration, "it it time to release your bodies from the evil that has desecrated them. Mel Gordon, I mourn your passing, but celebrate the elevation of your spirit to what comes next."

"Will," her ring reported as a Green Lantern symbol appeared over the Indigo Tribe symbol painted on her forehead. Then, a green beam shot out of Yori's power staff and mingled with the violet and indigo beams already washing over Mego.

"Connection severed," Mego's black ring said as it, and Mego himself, crumbled.

"One down, a ton to go," Monique mumbled to herself.

Gil Moss awoke with a splitting headache and a buzzing in his ears. "What hit me?" The Red Lantern looked uo and saw the different colored light flashing in the sky. "That's right, I got swatted by that reject from Zombie Mayhem!" And where's that buzzing coming from?"

Gil looked up and saw six black rings circling overhead like vultures. "BUUUUURRRRRRNNNNNN!" Gil shrieked as he launched into the sky, blood red plasma trailing behind him.

"I am seriously starting to hate zombies!" Kim grumbled under her breath.

"Why couldn't they be like the zombies in the movies?" Ron asked himself. "Proper cinematic zombies should be slow moving and destroyed by a headshot! But no, not these guys!" He blasted a hole through Warhok's head; a hole that quickly closed. "See what I mean? Movie zombies would've been dead again after that!"

"Head in the game, Ron!"

"It's not our heads they're after!" The Blue Lantern countered. I seriously need a zombie proof vest. Getting my ticker ripped out by these things is not the way I wanna go out! Ron flew to a safer distance and was about to fire again whan he was blind sided by a fast moving red blur.

"Outta the way, Sqweeb!"

Ron was about to tell Gil off when he saw what the former fish man was aiming at. "KP! More trouble!"

"What now?" Kim looked up and saw the swarm of black rings. "So not good. There's one for each of us!" Kim looked around her and saw that Warmonga was about to strike again. "We so don't have time for this!"

Toshimiru was playing with him, and Fukushima knew it. "You are going to return to the grave, creature!"

"So you keep saying," Toshimiru said in a taunting voice. "If you are as fierce a warrior as you claim, then prove it!"

"I am a better ninja than you ever were!" Fukushima declared before striking with his ring construct sword.

Toshimiru simply laughed. "I was the Monkey Master," the Black Lantern said. "And I will be again after I dispatch the fool with the blue ring who replaced me. Now come, boy, show me what you can do!"

Fukushima struck again; the yellow aura visible to the black ring was starting to mingle with red. The Sinestro Corpsman let out a feral yell and sliced Toshimiru's head off, only to see it reattach. The red quickly faded back to yellow.

"Fear."

"You disappoint me," Toshimiru growled. "I had planned on letting you die a warrior's death, but instead you shall die a coward!"

Yori and Monique flew towards Hego and Joe Gordon, trying to goad them into following. "You're only delaying the inevitable," Hego warned. "Our master will rise, and he will stamp out all life in the cosmos!"

"Okay, Yori, let's do to him what we did to his brother!"

"We cannot!" Yori yelled. "Kim-san is out of range."

"Range?" Monique asked in disbelief. "You have a range? Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

Yori gave the Star Sapphire a wry grin. "As many are fond of saying to Stoppable-san; this is my way of telling you. Now come! We must find Kim-san again."

Ron Stoppable was flying in circles, trying to get Warhok off his back. He wasn't having much luck.

"You tire," Warhok gloated. "You need sleep and food, and your ring will eventually require charging. I no longer have those limitations. And it is all thanks to you, murderer!"

"I didn't murder anybody!" Ron protested. "You were gonna kill KP and turn her into a trophy! And who knows what you were gonna do to the rest of us. This was self defense!"

"It matters not," Warhok growled, "for soon you and all life in the universe will join me in death!"

Ron looked up and saw Kim leading Warmonga on a similar chase. "KP!" he shouted before changing course to meet her.

Kim saw her guy and smiled. Potential boy does it again. Kim and Ron flew at high speed towards each other with the Black Lantern Lorwardians in hot pursuit. The two Lanterns gave each other a quick nod. They were on the same page. At the last minute they pulled up, leaving the Lorwardians with no time to stop. Warhok and Warmonga flew headlong into each other, making them tumble out of the sky.

"Where are you going?" Ron asked. "The party's not over yet!" A high powered beam of blue light shot from his ring and bathed over the falling aliens.

"You will not succeed in destroying us again!" Warhok roared.

Kim got a satisfied grin on her face. "Not alone he can't. But add a little willpower to the equation..." Kim's green beam joined Ron's blue one. Will and hope joined and infiltrated the rings of the Black Lanterns.

The sound of the black rings saying "Connection severed" was music to Kim and Ron's ears. They watched as Warhok and Warmonga were reduced to ash that blew away in the night time breeze.

Ron let out a sigh of relief. "That was tougher this time."

"It could get a lot tougher if one of us gets taken by a black ring," Kim said, remembering Gil taking off during the fight. She looked over and saw the Red Lantern shooting stream after stream of red energy at the rings, but to no avail. "At least it's keeping him occupied. Come on; let's go help Monique and Yori!" A scream from below stopped Kim in her tracks.

"Ring status report: Sinestro 2814 deceased. Sector scan for replacement sentient initiated." The yellow ring flew off of Fukushima's finger as his lifeless body fell to the earth below.

Toshimiru was silent as his ring absorbed the ninja's heart. "What a waste," was all the zombie said.

"Power levels at 99.9%," the black ring reported.

"One more and Nekron shall rise!"

"Flesh." One of the black rings that Gil had been trying in vain to destroy sensed the fallen ninja and took off to claim its host.

"Come back here!" Gil yelled in a rage, chasing after the ring. "No one said you could go! I'm not finished destroying you!"

Kim intercepted the yellow ring and encased it in a power sphere. "Ring! Transport captured yellow ring to the sciencells!"

"Acknowledged."

"Well, that's one mission down. Lantern Possible to Lantern Salaak." No images appeared from her ring. "Ring, why isn't anyone answering?"

"Unknown."

"Oh my God," Kim said to herself. "The crypt!"

"KP?"

"There's a crypt on Oa that houses all of the fallen Lanterns," Kim frantically explained. "If we've got the zombie apocalypse happening here, then it's got to be happeningon Oa too! I just hope there's someone left alive to lock that yellow ring down. Come on, Ron, we need to stop that ring from bringing Fukushima back!"

"Tadao Fukushima of Earth," the black ring said. "Ri-" A combination of red, blue, and green beams blasted the ring into a million pieces. "Connection severed."

"Anyone else think that was too easy?" Ron asked.

"Of course it was easy," Gil sneered. "I was here to trash it."

"Tadao Fukushima of Earth..."

"We've got more incoming!" Ron quickly fired off a volley of blue blasts, hoping to hit the ring and slow it down so Kim could deliver the finishing blow.

"KIM!" another voice shrieked. "Get these zombies off my butt!"

The Honor Lantern looked up and saw Monique and Yori fleeing from Hego and his father. "This just keeps going from bad to worse." She quickly joined Ron in destroying another black ring before taking to the skies. "Ron, you and Gil keep those rings from reanimating Fukushima!"

"You're not the boss of me!" Gil hissed.

"Don't get too far away," Ron warned, ignoring the Red Lantern. "Otherwise my ring won't do much good!"

Kim nodded, knowing that the blue rings don't fucntion at full capacity without an active Green Lantern nearby. "I'll be back soon. For now, just hold off those rings!"

"Hold them off. Right." Ron sighed. This would be so much easier if I could make constructs...

Kim flew as fast as she could to catch up with the Black Lanterns trailing her friends. "It just had to be green that's capable of the kill shot. Not green and blue, not red and yellow, just green. I wonder if anyone else is having this problem." Kim poured on the speed, hpoing to catch up with her firneds and finish this. "Monique! Yori! Light 'em up!"

"We are ready!" Yori said, priming her ring.

"Hego, Mr. Gordon, I'm so sorry." Kim focused her willpower thogugh the ring, which started to violently glow. "I'll get the ones responsible for this, I promise you. FIRE!"

Beams of indigo and violet joined with Kim's green and tore through the Black Lanterns, ripping their rings apart. "Connection severed."

As the fallen hero and his father scattered on the wind, Kim allowed herself a brief moment to mourn. "I promise you. I'll get the monster who did this to you."

"Where is Stoppable-san?" Yori asked with worry in her voice.

Kim went back into mission mode. "With Gil trying to keep a black ring from turning Fukushima into a Black Lantern. Come on, ladies; let's go!"

Monique flew with Yori as they followed Kim's trail. "You know she knows, right?"

"I do not understand what you mean, Monique-san."

"It doesn't take a violet ring to know you've got the hots for Ron," Monique said. "Like I said, Kim knows."

"I have made no secret of my feelings," the Indigo Tribeswoman sadly smiled. "But I knew Ron-kun's path was not one I would share, and that Kim Possible was his destiny. His friendship has enriched my life, and I would not trade that for anything."

Fortunately for Ron, Gil was a one man wrecking crew. Unfortunately for Ron, the Red Lantern of Earth wasn't very careful with his aim. "Dude! I don't wanna be Blue Lantern flambe!"

"BUUUURRRRNNNNN!" was all Gil said, spewing corrosive blood as he roared.

"This isn't working too well," Ron muttered to himself. He and Kim had destroyed two of the six black rings that had been stalking them, waiting for one of them to fall. Ever since Fukushima had been killed, it was all Ron could do to keep the dead ninja dead. All Ron could do was keep blasting at the circling black rings and keep them at bay long enough for Kim to get back.

"BUUUURRRRRNNNNNNN!" Another stream of burning red plasma shot towards Ron and nearly singed his hair off.

"Dude! Watch it!"

"Tadao Fukushima of Earth. Rise."

"Uh oh." Ron looked over his shoulder just in time to see Fukushima, now garbed in an all black gi with a Black Lantern symbol in the place of the Sinsestro Corps symbol that he once wore. The man's skin was now grey and mottled, and his eyes were dull white. "I knew you were gonna turn on us," Ron gulped, "but I thought you would do it when you were still alive."

"Maybe now you will actually show courage," Toshimiru quipped when he landed beside his fellow Black Lantern.

"All I crave is oblivion," Fukushima sneered, "as well as the Outsider's heart."

"Then come, brother," the first Monkey Master laughed, "let us dispatch my successor and allow Nekron passage to this world!"

"Not happening!" A green blast exploded in front of the ninja Black Lanterns. "There's a reason our oath says 'beware my power; Green Lantern's light.' Mine is the light that can take you out!" Kim landed beside her boyfriend.

"And ours are the lights that'll soften your zombie butts up so she can do it!" Monique added, landing behind the Black Lanterns.

"So as my American friends would say," Yori said from her landing place to the left of the ninjas, "bring it!"

"Booyah!" was all that Ron needed to say.

Toshimiru nodded in respect. "A true warrior rallies those around him. My decendant was corrrect, Ron Stoppable; had I known you in life, you would have been a valued ally." He clenched his bony fists as his ring lit up. "It is unfortunate that I must end you."

As one, the assembled warriors of light struck. Monique, Yori and Kim all went after the weakest link; Fukushima. Streams of emerald, violet and indigo flashed and sparkled, corralling Fukushima away from Toshimiru and trying to take him apart.

"You cannot destroy me, woman!" Fukushima bellowed as his left arm was separated from his body.

"Oh, but we can," Yori said. "May you have in death the peace you could not have in life, Fukushima."

"You will join me in death first!" Fukushima dove to the side and did a handspring as his missing arm reformed. "I am better than I was before, Yori. I am dead! Soon we will all be dead!"

"It is indeed a shame that we are both without our monkey powers, Stoppable-sama," Toshimiru said. "Imagine a battle between masters of the Mystical Monkey Power! It would be glorious."

"Says you," Ron countered, dodging a blow from the zombie ninja. "If it was the real you and not some freaky ring, you'd be on our side!"

"Perhaps, and perhaps not," the Black Lantern sneered.

"I know you, Toshimiru," Ron said, allowing his body to remember the moves he learned at Yamanuchi. "I know your heart because of the MMP. I could feel the vibes you left in it. You were a hero! This isn't you talking. That ring's wearing you like a cheap suit."

"Enough of the yapping!" Gil snapped as the rage overtook him. "Let's cremate this corpse!"

"Rage."

"Anger is a weapon for one's opponent, Red Lantern," Toshimiru chided. He quickly struck at Gil with his ring construct blade, trying to sever his ring hand. A blue beam cut off Toshimiru's arm instead.

"You got that from the Frantics," Ron said with a devious grin on his face. "That's Ti Kwan Leep, which means I know just how to stop you, dude, and that's with a boot to the head!" Ron let loose with a high kick that would have made Bruce Lee proud, knocking the Black Lantern's helmet and head off of his shoulders. "Come on, Sparky," Ron said to Gil, pulling him to his feet. "We gotta keep going until KP gets back."

"You saving my tail doesn't change anything, Sqweeb. You're still mine when this is over."

"Dude, get over it!"

"This isn't working too well," Monique obverved, trying to capture Fukushima in a crystal construct. "He's just too fast! Why didn't he fight like this before he died?"

"His fear of death is gone," Yori said. "After he was defeated by Stoppable-san, he lost confidence in his own abilities. If a so called 'Outsider' could defeat him so easily, then anyone could defeat and kill him."

"And now he's dead, so it doesn't matter." Kim sighed. "This is so not good." Kim created a cage with her ring and tried to capture Fukushima. Monique followed her friend's lead and encased that cage in a crystal. "Well, we have him. Now what are we gonna do with him?"

Monique winced as she felt the trapped Black Lantern struggle within her construct. "Whatever it is we gotta do it soon. I don't know how much longer I can hold this creep."

"And it looks like Stoppable-san is having his own problems with my ancestor. Not to mention the Red Lantern." Yori's gaze was on Ron figthing Toshimiru hand to hand. "He may still have his skills, but against a being that is already dead, I fear even the skill of a master will not be enough."

"Heads up!" Kim yelled. "He's breaking loose!" Shards of green and violet light scattered like broken glass, knocking Kim and Monique back.

Fukushima blasted out of the constructs like a bullet from a rifle. "ENOUGH! I will have my vengeance." He scowled at Kim, who was getting back on her feet. "The Outsider took what was most important to me; my honor. So I will take what is most important to him."

"Sorry, I so don't do the whole damsel in distress thing." Kim's ring augmented her natural agility, letting her execute a dive and roll with super human speed. Kim got into a crouching position and primed her ring. "Like the pig said, 'That's all folks!'" Kim hit Fukushima with a wall of solid light, knocking him down the street. A second beam coalesced into as pair of tongs that grabbed the limp Black Lantern and pulled him back. "Ladies, if you'd be so kind."

"It would be our honor," Yori said. "Fukushima, may you find redemption in the next life." She and Monique showered Fukushima with their lights.

"You cannot destroy me!" the immobilized abomination screamed.

"We so can," Kim said with conviction, turning the tongs she created into a focused blast of green light.

"Connection severed."

Kim let out a huge sigh of relief. "You were right, Mon; he was a better fighter dead than alive."

"And the fact that you can say that and not sound crazy tells us how MUBW this whole thing is."

Yori scrutinized the Star Sapphire. "I do not understand. MUBW?"

"Messed up beyond words," Monique explained. "Although I think folks in the military would say FUBAR instead."

"That one I know."

Kim, still crouching, leaned forward to support herself with her hands. "We need to put an end this and fast," she panted. "I don't know how much more of this we can handle."

If Toshimiru had lips, he would have been smiling. "It has been a long time since I had a worthy adversary," the Black Lantern said to Ron. "Together we would be unstoppable."

"Not gonna happen, Toshimiru!" Ron was breathing heavily. Fighting his predecessor as Monkey Master hand to hand was not how he'd wanted to handle this, but blasts from his ring weren't really effective.

"You are at two disadvantages, Stoppable-sama. You still live, therefore you require food and rest. Also, your ring cannot destroy me without a Green Lantern." Toshimiru looked over and saw Kim trying to catch her breath. "I was mistaken; you have a third disadvantage. You have something to live for." Instead of striking at Ron, Toshimiru took flight and shot towards Kim.

"KP!" Ron took off after the Black Lantern. "KP look out!"

Kim looked up and saw a dark object streaking towards her. She had no time to move.

"Nekron shall rise!"

"No he won't!" Ron reached for and grabbed Toshimiru's ankle, pulling him off course. Ron continued on course, streaking at Kim to push her out of the way.

"Love."

"Kim you gotta..." Ron came to a dead stop, his body jerked, and his ring aura died.

"God no," Kim gasped in a whispered voice. "Please no. Ron? RON?"

"Ring status report: Blue Lantern 2814 deceased. Sector scan for replacement sentient initiated." The blue ring slid off of Ron's finger and flew skyward. Ron went limp but didn't fall.

"Aaaahhhhhh!" A sharp pain shot through Monique's heart.

"Star Sapphire Monique; the heart is under attack in sector 2814. Death looks to extinguish eternal love."

"No," Monique whimpered as Kim's anquish washed through her. "It can't be too late. It can't be!"

Ron finally fell forward and crumpled to the ground like a puppet with cut strings. Behind him knelt Toshimiru with his right hand extended. Kim, Yori and Monique looked up just in time to see the last of Ron's heart get absorbed into the ring.

"Power levels at 100%," the black ring said.

"Yes!" Toshimiru yelled at the sky. "He rises! Nekron rises!"

Sector 2814. Planet Earth. Coast City USA.

A dark shadow fell over the Coast City night as a gigantic black lantern, the central power battery of the Black Lantern Corps, descended upon the graves of those killed years earlier when Coast City was destroyed in a fiery apocalypse.

William Hand, the madman known as Black Hand, held his hands skyward as the enormous object came to rest behind him. Black Hand cluthced the skull of Bruce Wayne to him as if it were his most prized posession. This was the moment he had waited his entire life for. He looked up and saw a crimson blur quickly approaching. "Not even the Flash is fast enough to stop this."

At that same moment, the Flash was racing to the battery, hoping that he would be able to do something when he got there.

I doubt it, though, Flash thought. It figures that Hal got teleported away by that Indigo Tribe lady when we needed him most. That thought brought a smile to the Flash's face. Barry Allen was the second man to wear the crimson, and the most recent hero to return from the great beyond after making the ultimate sacrifice. A lot had changed while he was gone, but Hal Jordan was the only thing that was the same now as he was before Barry died. He'll make it in the knick of time.

"Nekron!" Black Hand shouted as the Flash came to a skidding stop. "Rise!"

Before the Flash arose a figure of pure terror. The being was pale white, emaciated looking, and had a gaping hole in his chest revealing his dead, unbeating heart. He bore a Black Lantern symbol on his forehead, and on a belt around his waist. In his hnads he held a black power battery in the shape of a scythe. Nekron smiled a disgusting smile. "Now to return the universe to darkness."

"Risen!" Toshimiru cheered. "Nekron is risen!"

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Kim Possible, filled with a rage feuled by anguish, unleashed the might of her ring. The floodgates were opened as tears flowed freely from Kim's eyes and a torrent of will rushed from her ring, sweeping the Black Lantern away in an emerald tde.

"No way, cheerleader!" Gil roared. "The Sqweeb was gonna be mine, so now this guy is mine for taking that way from me!" Red blood spewed from Gil's ring, trying to find a target in the vast sea of green light.

"Now!" Yori yelled, her own tears streaking down her face. "Do it now!"

Indigo and violet light flooded over the scene, expanding over Kim's own beam. Finally they found their target. "Connection severed."

Kim fell to her knees beside Ron's body. The hole in his back where Toshimiru pulled his heart from was still red and raw. "Ron... please no..." Kim rolled Ron on his back and gasped when she saw his lifeless eyes staring up at her. Kim wept bitterly over Ron Stoppable, grieving over the loss of the only man she ever loved. She saw a future gone, a life destroyed, and children she would never have; murdered before they were even conceived.

Yori kneeled beside Ron and closed his eyes. "Ron-kun..."

Heartbreak washed over Monique through her ring. She felt Kim and Yori's grief, as well as her own. She cried harder when she anticipated Hana's reaction. That little girl idolized her big brother. This will kill her. A fresh wave of anguish rushed through Monique. She looked up and saw Kim's mother come out of the Possible home.

"Everybody move! MOVE!" Anne yelled, knowing full well it was too late to save her third son but refusing to give up.

"He's gone, Mom," Kim cried. "His heart was torn out. He's gone..."

Anne took Kim in her arms and held her daughter while she wept, knowing there was nothing she could say. Shego and the Tweebs were not far behind. "No," Shego whispered.

"Flesh."

"We got incoming!" Shego threw plasma burst after plasma burst at the incoming black ring.

Monique and Yori fired their rings, hitting the hated black object and holding it still. Gil merely snarled. "Kim-san!" Yori yelled. "Do it now!"

Kim looked up at the black ring and growled. "You already took him from me; I won't let you turn him into one of you!" The sound of a cannon firing filled the air as a blast of green light erupted from her ring, ripping through and obliterating her target.

"Connection severed."

"More are on the way!" Jim Possible warned.

"You can't have him!" Kim shrieked, scrambling away form her mother's embrace. She created a net with her ring, catching the black ring and struggling to hold it. Monique and Yori trained their rings on the net, right before Kim detonated it.

"Connection severed."

"There are two more!"

"I won't let you have him!" Precision aimed violet and indigo beams hit the black ring, followed by nova blast of green light.

"Connection severed."

Kim turned her attention to the last black ring and was about to fire, but she was tackled to the ground by the Red Lantern. "Not happening, cheerleader!" he hissed. "He was mine and I'm gonna grease him! This way I can kill him and keep killing him over and over again! I'll have my own pet Black Lantern to kill as many times as I want!"

"Back off, fish brain!" Monique tried to encase Gil in a conversion crystal, but he belched corrosive blood onto it, destroying the construct.

Gil turned his rage on the Star Sapphire, lunging at her with a feral growl. A power staff to the stomach knocked him back, and knocked the wind out of him. "We do not have time for this!" Yori snapped. "Quickly! We must..."

"Ron Stoppable of Earth. Rise."

Next Chapter: It's Kim vs Ron as the dead look to destroy the living.
