Hey guys I'm back with the following chapter to Black Star Rising. Also I think it's going to be a while before things get better for Kim and Shego, but their are both strong women, so let's see how much stress I can put on them. I'm not doing this to be evil...ok maybe just a little, but it's all in good fun. Also I would suggest that when you begin reading the part when Betty tries to escape you listen to Wesker's theme Winds of Madness. It's what I listened to while writing this chapter and set the tone and mood for me lol. Anyway as the Joker would say. "Let the good times roll!"
I DO NOT OWN THE CHARCTERS INVOLVED IN THIS FANFIC. THEY BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS.
Ch.12 The Escape Part 2
"Man, I wish it was us out there looking for that woman. I'd give anything to leave this dull room." Darcy complained.
"I hear you sister. Just how long have we been here anyway?" Stormy asked.
"About six days I believe." Darcy answered.
"Six days?" Stormy groaned and her sucked her teeth. "Hey Icy, you've talked with Blackfire, what are we doing exactly."
Darcy and Stormy looked over to the white haired witch who's eyes were closed. She seemed to be meditating, as she has remained quiet for a long duration since their fight with Storm. Darcy and Stormy gave each other confused looks before Stormy called out to her again.
"Icy? Hellooo, anybody home?" She asked waving her hand in front of her face. Darcy snapped her fingers but didn't get a reaction.
Icy on the other hand, had been trying to resonate herself with the strange energy that she could feel coming from the Dimension they were opening. It was faint, but there was definitely someone there. She had spent the past three days trying to resonate with said energy ever since the godly essence of Cassandra and Donna were brought to them. However that would seem hard to do since Darcy and Stormy would not stop calling her name, no matter how hard she tried to ignore them.
Her eyes snapped open. "What!" She said irritably.
"You don't have to yell." Darcy replied.
"What were you doing anyway?" Stormy asked.
Icy sighed. "Well before I was interrupted I was trying to resonate my energy with whoever is inside the other dimension." Icy said.
"Who's on the other side. Does it have to do with what Blackfire told you?" Darcy asked.
Icy nodded. "She says there's an all powerful witch trapped in that dimension.
Darcy and Stormy's eyes widened. "A witch?" they both said.
Icy nodded.

Betty backed away a few steps from Juri. "You can't kill me, Blackfire's rules remember?"
Juri scoffed. "As if I care about rules. If I were you, I'd start worrying about how long it's gonna take them to find you, before you die." Juri said with a menacing grin.
Juri began taking her steps towards Betty, and Betty prepared herself for a fight. Betty fired a few more bullets, but Juri easily sped past them, and kicked Betty in her left arm and dislocated it. Betty screamed out in pain, as Juri laughed in amusement.
"You like getting kicked don't you?" Juri asked as she raised her foot and brought it down.
Betty rolled out of the way, and unfortunately landed on her left arm. She winced and graoned but, got up as Juri tried to stomp on her. She made a break for the door, and closed it right as Juri lashed out with her foot again. Juri's foot broke through the wooden door, as Betty made her escape. Juri pulled her foot out of the hole and opened the door to walk out. "I guess the game's not over yet." She said and then smiled.
Betty ran down the hall, and duck into another room when she heard voices. She watched as the shadows of Morrigan and Blackfire past down the hallway, as they searched for Betty. When she was sure the coast was clear, she ran down the hall and through the doors that lead to the stairs. She read that she was on the tenth floor of the building and quickly made her way down the stairs, She had just made it to the seventh floor when the door opened, and she was face to face with Crimson Viper.
Betty quickly descended the flight of stairs. "She's coming down the stairs!" C viper said as she talked through their comm link. Betty dropped down as she ducked Viper's Burning Kick. She performed a kick of her own, that Viper blocked. Betty swung her right arm but Viper blocked again, Betty ducked her left hook, but was hit when Viper quickly brought her knee up to Betty's face. The impact was strong enough to knock the woman off balance, and she rolled down the flight of stairs. Viper quickly descended the stairs to grab the woman She was amazed that Betty was able to try and pick herself up.
"The people in this dimension are stronger than I give them credit for." Viper said as she reached down to grab Betty.
Betty reacted quickly and kicked Viper in her face. Viper cried out, and Betty hobbled to her feet and through the door. Her body was aching and she believed she may have injured a few joints, but it wasn't enough to slow her down.
"I have...to make it out. Gotta..warn Kim and...Shego." Betty said.
"What and ruin everything I have worked so hard for?" She heard a voice say.
She looked behind her to see Blackfire come through the door. "Blackfire." Betty said as the fear in her began to grow.
"Betty I'm surprised at your behavior. This is the thanks I get for letting you stay with us?
Haven't I been good to you?" Blackfire asked as she looked at the way Betty was clutching her left arm. "Uh-oh did you hurt yourself on the way down? Don't worry I've got just the thing." She said as Jacob came around the corner.
"You?" Betty said in disbelief.
"Yeah, me. It's been a while doc." Jacob said as he kept his M-4 trained on her.
"Oh so you two know each other?" Blackfire asked.
"You can say that. It was more of a meet and greet." Jacob answered.
"I take it, that it wasn't a good first impression?"
"Not when she wants to erase any proof that your fiancee ever existed off the map." Jacob said.
"What else was I supposed to do. The islands were supposed to be kept a secret. The general public was not to know." Betty said.
"After all the things the people of this planet have seen. Super powered heroes and villains, mutants and reoccurring alien invasion, I believe dinosaurs would have been the least of their worries." Jacob said.
"Mr. Matthews I was just looking out for the well being of the general public."
"Oh really, were looking out for Lex when she was killed by that dinosaur?" Jacob said as he was trying to hold back from pulling the trigger.
"Please just put the gun down. We can work this out." Betty told him.
"There is nothing to work out." Jacob said. Betty rushed him and grabbed his hand just as he pulled the trigger. She pushed his hand to the side as bullets sprayed out from the firearm. Bullets whizzed by Blackfire who watched the whole thing take place. Betty pushed the gun up in the air as more bullets rang out, and shot the lights. Sparks showered the floor as the two agents struggled over the gun. Jacob reached for his side arm, but Betty headbutted him and he stumbled back. She took this chance to take the M-4 from him, and she pointed at him just as he pulled out the pistol. They kept their guns trained on the other as Betty slowly moved back, and when she was close enough she bolted through the door. Jacob and Blackfire pursued her , Jacob fired at her just missing her as she rounded the corner to the lower levels of Black Star HQ.
She quickly made it to ground floor when she heard voices of Azula and the others. Deciding it was not wise to make a bee line straight for the front exit, she ran to the back and out into the alley. She closed the door and stopped to catch her breath. She jumped when she saw Psylocke emerge from the shadows with her eyes glowing and two psychic blades in her hands. Betty felt like she has seen those blades before. Quickly recognizing them from her mysterious dreams she took a step forward.
"You were in my dreams." Betty said.
"That's because I sent them to you. I am also the one who helped orchestrate your escape." Psylocke said.
"I'm grateful and all, but why? You work for Blackfire don't you?" She asked the younger woman.
Psylocke shook her head. "Not by choice. As you saw in my dreams, she is forcing me to work for her, because she'll kill Warren if I don't." Psylocke said her voice full of sorrow.
"Then come with me. We can get help, we can stop them if you come with me." Betty offered.
Psylocke shook her head in disagreement once more. "No, If I go, she will kill Warren."
"But if you stay, she'll kill you as well."
"She still has use for me, I'll only live as long as my powers are needed. That's why you must escape, and get help. Warn the others of her plan, tell them to prepare for disaster. And whatever you do, do not bring them here." Psylocke told Betty.
"Don't bring them here? Why wouldn't I bring them here?"
"Because you all will be rushing in to your deaths. I've read Blackfire's mind, she is trying to resurrect a witch. A powerful witch, from what I can tell." Psylocke said as she reached down to her sash and grabbed a piece of paper. She handed it over to Betty who eyed it curiously.
"What is this?" She asked.
"Those are the blueprints to the device that's allowing Blackfire to access other dimensions and cross realities. She's been using it to warp to other places on the planet and bring warriors from other dimensions. It's rumored that it can transcend time as well. Give it only to someone you can trust. They must build one before Blackfire can make her move. I have written there the names and coordinates of the members that come from the other dimensions. You must summon their dimensions heroes, and only then can you challenge Black Star. Not before do you understand?" Psylocke questioned.
Betty nodded. "You said that Blackfire is trying to resurrect a witch? Does this witch have a name?"
"Her name is Ult-"
"She's not in here! Check the back!" A voice said from within the building.
"Look the name isn't important, what's important is that you get out of here while you still can. Go!" Psylocke shouted.
Betty nodded and ran off down the alley. Psylocke watched as her form disappeared. She could only hope that her plan worked. She turned to look behind her when she heard clapping. She watched as Lex emerged from the shadows.
"Bravo, Psylocke, an excellent performance." Lex said, with a grin.
"You would know, wouldn't you Mystique?"
She watched as Lex's form changed to that of Mystique's. "I didn't think you had in you to betray Blackfire." Mystique said.
"I did what was necessary." Psylocke answered.
"So I'll take that as an open confession then." Blackfire said as she and the others arrived on the scene.
Psylocke turned as Blackfire blasted her with a starbolt knocking her unconscious. "I'll deal with this traitor, I want the rest of you on standby incase any heroes show up." Blackfire ordered.
They nodded and returned to their posts, however Jacob was stopped by Blackfire. "Not you. I want you to pursue Betty, and when you see her Kill her. Understood?"
Jacob nodded, and went to his car to grab some extra ammunition.

Ron and Tiara were in the living room, still mulling over Kim and Shego's argument. "I can't believe that things could have gotten this bad." Tiara said. "Ron isn't there anything we can do to help?" She asked.
The blonde scratched his head. "I'm sure there's something we can do. I don't like this either Tiara. Look maybe you should talk with Shego , and I'll have a chat with Kim." He proposed.
"Yeah that sounds like a good idea. If I can find Shego that is."
Rufus jumped up on his shoulders as he pointed to Kim's room and imitated Shego. Ron mulled over what Rufus could have been going on about when it hit him. "Hey! You know you're right about that little buddy." Ron said.
"Right about what?" Tiara asked.
"You know ever since Kim received her powers from Shego, her attitude has been...not Kimmish. It's almost as if she's acting like Shego." Ron said.
"Mmhmm Mhmm, Shego." Rufus squeaked.
Tiara thought it over. "It could be a side affect of the comet's powers merging with Kim's genetics causing an increase in her emotions. Allowing her to feel more than average person." Tiara proposed.
However before she could go on, the Kimmunicator went off. Ron picked up Kim's Kimmunicator and answered. Wade's face immediately appeared on the screen. "Yeah Wade, what's up?" Ron asked.
"Ron, tell Kim it's an emergency. I've just received a distress call from Dr. Director." Wade informed him.
"Dr. Director. As in the Dr. Director, that formerly ran Global Justice?" Ron asked.
"The one and only." Wade answered.
"But I thought she was killed with the rest of her agents A year ago, during the, you know. Attack." Ron said.
"Well I've matched her vocals with, and it's 100% her." Wade said.
Tiara couldn't believe what she was hearing, Betty Director is alive. She hasn't been seen since XeYori's attack on Middleton. She had to know more. "Ron, go get Kim, tell her she needs to get on top of this right now."
Ron just nodded and he was off to retrieve the depressed redhead.
