Ok as you are all aware that it's time for another Black Star Rising chapter, and Betty Director is the star. So without anything else to say, let's get started.
I DO NOT OWN THE CHARCTERS INVOLVED IN THIS FANFIC. THEY BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS.
Ch.11 Escape
Betty was sound asleep in her cell, when she started to have the same nightmare again. In her nightmare she could hear a voice, two voices actually. Over time she learned that one of the voices belonged to Blackfire. She would then find herself standing before the powerful woman, except that in her hands were these energy blades. Also the voice that she heard was not her own, but another's. She couldn't see the woman holding the blades because Betty was looking through her eyes. She watched as the woman charged Blackfire but was knocked back by Blackfire's starbolt.
"Now I'd think you would want to behave yourself. Unless you would want to see your precious angel hurt, more than he already is." Blackfire said as she pointed towards a man she had held in her captivity.
"Warren!" The woman called out. Betty could feel the woman's rage growing.
"Now that I have your attention, I want you to do something for me." Blackfire said. "I'm putting together a team. A team to take over the world and I'm going to need your help. I mean it's not like you have anything better to do right?"
The woman growled as she continued to look at Blackfire. "It's simple, just do as I say and you're precious Warren won't be hurt. Disobey and." Blackfire pressed a button on the device she held in her left hand. Electricity surged through Warren causing him to scream out in pain.
"Ok! You win, what is it that you want me to do?" She asked.
"First off, I want you to find Raven Darkholme." Blackfire said.
"What do you want with Mystique?"
"I can make very good use of her shape shifting powers. Now go, and don't worry about Warren. He's safe with me ." Blackfire said as she flashed an evil grin.
The woman gave Warren one last look. 'I'll save you, just give me some time.' The woman promised before leaving to do as she was told.
The dream ended and Betty woke up, just as Juri was entering the room. Betty looked over to her. Juri's left eye was glowing as her smile grew wider. "Uh oh, I didn't wake you did I?" She asked. She shrugged her shoulders. "Oh well, since you're awake how 'bout sparring with me?"
Betty sat there in silence, and glared at her tormentor. To Juri her idea of sparring was beating Betty nearly to death. Two days ago Juri had cracked her ribs, broken her right arm, and both legs. She was about to break her spine when Morrigan had intervened. Afterwards she had the witches fix her up, however as long as she was shackled there wasn't much she could do against the martial artist.
Betty looked past Juri when she saw Psylocke walk up behind her. "Juri, I thought Blackfire made it specifically clear, not to touch her." Psylocke said.
Juri turned to face her. "She's says alot of things, but I don't have to listen." Juri answered.
"Is that so?" Psylocke said still keeping her gazed fixated on Betty. Betty gave her a strange look, before Psylocke smiled. At that moment Betty shoulder charged Juri and knocked her over. She brushed past Psylocke and ran out the nearest door.

Jacob yawned and stretched as he awoke from his sleep. He looked over to his right to see Lex still asleep. He smiled, glad to finally have her back with him. He was hoping to enjoy a peaceful day with his fiancee when the alarms blared. Lex shot up. "What is it? What's going on?"
"I don't know, but I'm going to go find out." He said. "Stay here." he told her as he got up from the bed. He grabbed his pants and put them on and went to check on the situation. Lex watched him leave and rolled her eyes as she did so.
He could clearly hear Blackfire yelling at whoever was responsible for the alarm going off. "You Idiot! I told you not to touch her didn't I!? Do you know what will happen if she gets outside of this building?"
Juri waved her off. "Yeah, yeah so I'll just kill her before that happens."
Blackfire grabbed her and slammed her up against the wall. "Now you listen to me. I'm tired of you treating everything like a game. If she gets out of this building I'll have your head." Blackfire threatened her.
"But isn't that what you have her for?" Juri said pointing at Morrigan with a smile.
Blackfire was ready to snap her neck when Jacob walked up to the group. "Hey, what's going on?" He asked.
"Betty has escaped. She could be anywhere in this building. I want you to help find her." Blackfire said as she released Juri.
Jacob nodded. "In the meantime I'll take Lex somewhere safe, to keep her out of harms way." Blackfire added.
Jacob was going to object against it, but he could tell that she didn't have the time or patience for any further objections and just nodded. He watched as lex was escorted out of the room and to a safer area.

Betty was running through the halls of the Black Star HQ, searching constantly for an exit. She had to escape and warn everybody of what was happening. She was well aware of what was happening since Mystique blabbed it to her. Telling her about how she made enemies with both Kim and Shego using her face, and how she let all of her subordinates die when they were attacked by XeYori. Betty turned right and ran around the corner and down the hall. She was about to make a break for the next exit to the lower floor, when blue fire cut her off. She looked in the direction the fire came from to see Azula heading her way.
"Where do you think you're going you little peasant? If you get away, then we'll never hear the end of it from our fearless leader." Azula said as she used her hand to mock a blabbering mouth.
Betty knew she would have a fight on her hands, but her hands were still shackled. She backed away from Azula and turned to run the other way when she saw Ai hovering in the hallway. She raised her hand and fired a black beam of energy at Betty. Betty ducked and hit the ground as the energy sailed over her and crashed into the door blowing it open.
Betty got up and saw her shackles glow with a faint hint of energy before they broke off. Betty didn't question what was happening, and ran for the door again. Azula was in her way, but Betty kept running and she slid under Azula as she threw her fist forward and shot more fire out. She slid between the firebender's legs and quickly rose to her feet. She ran through the fire and down the hall. She looked back and ducked as Azula shot more fire at her.
"Damnit she's getting away." Azula said and chased after her.

Kim and Ron had just arrived back at Shego's house just having come from the funeral of both Donna Troy and Wonder Girl who were both brutally murdered three days ago by Blackfire's group. Kim was upset with Shego not, showing up to pay her respects to the fallen heroes. Instead she went off to find some clues as to where Jacob is. Once again Kim found herself a little upset when she began to think about why Shego was insisting on finding him. She relaxed when she saw Shego enter the room.
Shego walked right past the red head without saying a word, and was heading for the door. However before Shego could leave the house, Kim spoke up. "Shego why are you chasing after him? He made it pretty clear who's side he's on." Kim said. "He's a lost cause, who knows how long he has been planning this."
"I don't buy it. There's more to this than he's letting on. After all of that, to just through it all away. No there's definitely more to it." Shego replied.
"No Shego there isn't." Kim said as she turned to see Shego still had her back turned to her. "You know as well as I do, that he has to be brought down alongside Blackfire." Kim said.
Shego turned to face her. "And you know as well as I do, that wont be an option. I don't know why you're making such a big deal about this Kimmie."
"I'm not you are. You would rather chase after some fugitive than pay your respects to Donna and Cassandra."
"Hey! I have my reasons! You know that." Shego shot back.
"Then tell me Shego. What's more important than honoring those who have died protecting our freedom? Wouldn't you act the same way if it had been your brothers in there?" Kim said challenging Shego.
Ron backed away nervously and Rufus hid deep in his masters pocket. "Don't you bring my brothers in to this. I don't know why you're pointing the finger at me, princess-"
"I'm not pointing any fingers!" Kim yelled. "All I'm saying is that you shouldn't waste your time on a traitor."
"You've changed Kim. The Kim Possible I knew believed in second chances, well enough to give me one. I don't know what Mystique did to you, but it certainly changed you for the worst."
Kim was taken back by Shego's choice of words. Kim felt her emotions rise up. "I'm tired of apologizing to you. I don't know how many times I had to make myself clear that I had no fucking idea it wasn't you! But since we're on the subject, it wasn't Mystique that changed me. Maybe it was Jacob that changed you." Kim said pointing her finger at the pale women.
"What are you getting at possible?" Shego asked the red head.
"I get the feeling you're hiding something from me. You're not telling me something, since you seem so ready to put the blame on me. Since you think something is going on between me and Mystique, why don't you tell me what's really going on with you and Jacob?" Kim said in an accusing tone.
Shego's eyes went wide. Did she just hear Kim correctly? Her anger immediately rose to the surface. "No you didn't. No you didn't just fucking accuse me of cheating on you."
Kim nodded. "Yes I did." Kim said folding her arms. "Spell it Shego. How long has this been going on? I've noticed how close you two were, so close it bothers me."
"Hold the fuck up. First aint shit happened between me and Jacob, you of all people should know this. Two, you're the only who's been cheating on me. You fucking slept with a woman who can change into what ever the fuck she wants. You tell me Kim, Just how many variations of her did you fuck?" Shego shot back.
"You know what Shego. Yes, I fucked Mystique, by sheer accident, but I'm not going to lie. Since I tthought she was you, and I cannot stress that fact enough, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the feeling of her tongue licking and lapping up my wetness. The aggressiveness she displayed in bed, as she fucked me." Kim said upsetting Shego even more.
Tiara walked out from her room, after being woken from Kim and Shego's arguement. "Ron what's going on out here?" She asked.
"Tiara if you want to stay alive, lets not get involved in this." Ron told her.
Tiara raised her eyebrow before turning her complete attention towards the two raging women.
"I knew it. I Fucking Knew It! So you're saying she was better than me?" Shego questioned.
"I don't know, was Jacob better than me?" Kim answered in a snippy tone. "You enjoyed riding his dick didn't you? That's why you're so upset. That's why you want to find him so badly. Did you suck him off too?" Kim asked Shego.
Shego flared up her hands glowing brightly with green plasma. She got in Kim's face. "Keep pushing me Kim. Say it one more time, I fucking dare you." Shego growled.
Kim flared up her white plasma and got in Shego's face. "Did you fuck Jacob?" Kim asked her through gritted teeth.
Ron and Tiara had seen enough, and they were sure that they were going to eventually destroy the house if they let this argument continue. They quickly intervened, Ron grabbing Kim, and Tiara grabbing Shego. They pulled them apart to a safe distance.
"You both need to stop acting like children. Why don't you tried calming down and talking this out?" Tiara suggested.
"I tried that already, and look what good that did me." Kim replied.
Shego yanked her arm from Tiara and walked off towards the door. She left the house without saying a word and slammed the door behind her. Ron was still holding on to an angry Kim Possible, but Ron could also see the hurt in her eyes.
"KP, you gotta give this time. Deep down you know that Shego doesn't blame you for what happened between you and Mystique. She just really upset she can't strangle the women for deceiving you like that. Add the Jacob betrayal to it, and you got a seriously confused and angered Shego, who like always lets her anger out on the closest thing to her." Ron said trying to reassure his friend.
"Then why is she taking it out on me?" Kim asked as tears welled up in her eyes again. She jerked herself free of Ron's grasp and ran to the back room, where they heard the door shut. Kim jumped onto the bed and buried her face in the pillow and pounded it angrily with her fists. Why did this have to happen to her. Everything was going just fine and then this had to go and happen. Kim was at the end of the rope, she didn't know what else she could do. For know all she would do is cry, until she cried herself to sleep.

Black Star HQ
Betty was still running for her life as she tried to escape the complex. She felt as if she was being guided in a certain direction at times, but it still did not rid her of her pursuer. She looked back to see Azula still in hot pursuit. Betty rounded the corner as she shot another fireball, the fireball just missed Betty by a few seconds and exploded against the wall. Azula groaned as she missed yet another shot at the one eyed women. Betty ran into a dark room and saw it was filled with many books, like a mini library. She figured that this must have been Blackfire's study room and quickly hid her self in the room.
Azula entered the room as she hit the lights. "I know you're in here. You think you can hide amongst all this clutter?" Azula chuckled. "You just made it easier for me to dispose of you." She said as she lit her hand up with blue fire.
Betty made moved from behind one book shelf to another, but was spotted by Azula. She quickly threw her fire ball setting the book shelf on fire. The fire spread quick as Azula proceeded to set every book shelf on fire. The room quickly filled with smoke and wasted no time entering Betty's lungs. She coughed as she began to search for another exit, but couldn't find one.
'Damn, she's blocking the only way out.' Betty thought. She turned to go back the other way but was blocked by the fire. She backed up coughing as more smoke filled her lungs. She backed up against the wall as she frantically searched for a way out. Unbeknownst to her a pair of arms had appeared through the wall, and grabbed ahold of Betty. Betty screamed as she was pulled through.
Ryoko had pulled Betty from the fire and was smiling evilly as she began to squeeze tighter. Betty began to cry out under the strain of Ryoko's grip, but before Ryoko could snap her in two, C Viper appeared.
"Ok, Ryoko let her go. Our orders are to capture her, not kill her." She told the space pirate.
Ryoko groaned but let go of Betty and let the woman hit the floor. She coughed some more and then took in a breath of fresh air as she tried to clear her lungs of the burning smoke. C Viper was just about to grab her, when the lights in the room blew out. The sprinklers activated and began to shower the women with cold water. However this bought Betty enough time to escape from her captors.
"She's getting away!" Ryoko said.
"Well don't stand there. Go get her!" Viper said.
Betty ducked into another room and quickly found her weapons. She smiled as she grabbed her gun and loaded the clip. "So this is where you were hiding?" She heard Juri say behind her.
Betty turned quickly and pointed it at her. "Don't you move." Betty ordered. Juri laughed as she looked at the one eyed woman. Her left eye coming to life again.
"Come, on give me your best shot." Juri dared her. Betty accepted the offer and fired a bullet. The bullet was aimed for head as Betty wanted to put one between her eyes, however the bullet deflected and harmlessly hit the ground.
Betty fired a few more rounds, but no bullet seemed to be able to penetrate Juri's skull. Juri's ki prevented that. it so strong that bullets were no longer a threat to the young Korean woman.
Juri laughed again. "Well, well it's time to finish this game of cat and mouse." Juri said as she licked her lips.
Next chapter, part two of Betty's escape if she survives Juri Han that is. I wonder if any of you can guess who's been assisting Betty from afar? First person to guess gets a prize =)
