I do not own Kim Possible or Transformers Prime. I do, however, own this plot.
Chapter 10
Kim ran into the main room when the alarm sounded.
"Prime!"
Kim sighed when she heard Fowler over the consoles speakers.
"Agent Fowler."
"It would seem that the military have a mind to try and capture Kim Possible and Elizabeth Director. They've teamed up with Silas."
"Who?" Kim asked as she looked at Shego.
"It's understandable that you don't know who he is," Ratchet stated. "He is the leader of MECH. MECH is an organization working in opposition to the United States government. They seek to create a 'newer world order' through the application of cutting-edge technology. For MECH, procuring such technology includes stealing it."
Kim and Shego both nodded.
"Then we need to keep on our guard."
Shego nodded at Kim's words.
"Especially since my Kimmie is one of you," Shego said, looking up at her new boss.
Optimus nodded.
"We will strive to protect her."
"I'll do that," Shego said. "I am Princess's partner after all."
"Good," Fowler said. "We've gotten word that the superiors of Global Justice have teamed up with Silas to get his hands on both Kim and Elizabeth."
"But Global Justice would try to arrest Silas for his crimes!" Betty yelled, her eye-patch missing and her optic visible.
"It would seem not," Fowler said. "He has been giving full immunity if he helps them."
Betty looked at Kim and Shego.
"I guess I will become one of you!" Betty said before closing her eyes and focusing. After a moment, she opened her eyes, her body shifting into a robot form. After a moment, Betty looked at Kim.
"This is so strange," Betty said. "I can still feel everything, but my skin is metal."
Kim nodded with a smile. She then walked over and placed a hand on Betty's blue metallic shoulder.
"Let's get you a vehicle mode."
Shego walked over to Kim and walked out of the base with Betty.
"Is it okay to let those two wander off?" Fowler asked.
"Kimberly is a smart one," Ratchet said. "She will know when to call and if she needs backup. Besides, she has her partner with her."
Bulkhead looked at Ratchet.
"Are you Ratchet or are you someone else? The Ratchet I know would never say things like that."
Bumblebee beeped in agreement.
"Yeah, Ratchet," Arcee said. "Since when did you care about humans?"
"She is not human."
"Though that may be true," Optimus stated, "you do seem to have changed since she has been here."
"I know," Ratchet said. "I'm not entirely sure how it happened."
Optimus nodded as he watched the three women walk away.
An hour later came with the sound of a VW Bug pulling into the base's main chamber. As soon as Kim and Shego rolled to a stop behind the car, and Shego got off of Kim, both Kim and the car transformed into their robot modes.
"How does it feel to be the car instead of riding in one, Betty?"
The last of the plates shifted and the former leader of Global Justice gave Kim a grin. Betty's tires where on her shoulders and shins.
"I like it," Betty said. "This feels amazing!"
"It would seem that one of them got the term 'Robots In Disguise' right," Ratchet stated.
"Now remember, Betty," Kim stated. "Now that you have a vehicle mode, you can't go back to being human, understand?"
Betty nodded and looked at her metal hand.
"Nor do I want to."
Kim looked at her before looking at Ratchet.
"Could you check her out and see if she still has her biological components?" Kim asked.
Ratchet nodded and walked over to Betty.
"Come on, Miss Director."
Betty looked at Ratchet.
"What are you going to do?"
Kim put a hand on her shoulder.
"It's nothing. He's just going to run a scanner over you. You won't be poked, prodded or opened up."
Betty relaxed and gave a thankful smile.
"Thanks Kim," Betty said.
"No big."
Kim smiled before holding her hand up. Wade's image appeard.
"What's the sitch, Wade?"
"Drakken, Monkey Fist, and Duff Killigan have all broken out of prison."
Kim looked at Shego.
"What do ya say, Hot Stuff? Wanna help me round up some bad guys?"
Shego sighed.
"I believe we talked about this, Princess."
"I know, Shego. But I want you there. Ron would be useless seeing as I would have to go against three of my worst villains at once. Please Shego?"
Ratchet and everyone else watched as Kim's lower lip started trembling and her optics went wide in a begging fashion.
"Oh, god!" Shego said before turning away. "Turn it off! Turn it off! Alright! Just shut that thing off!"
Kim smiled before embracing her girlfriend.
"I can't believe it still works!" Kim said as she reached up and kissed Shego's check. She then looked at Wade's image still floating over her palm. "Where are they, Wade?"
Wade was staring at the two with blood running down his face.
"Wade? Are you okay?"
Wade snapped out of his trance and wiped the blood from his face.
"Sorry. They were headed to the Amazons. It seems that Drakken intends to finish the plan you stopped when you called Betty to his location."
Kim nodded before looking back at the woman in her arms.
Shego groaned as she wrapped her arms around Kim.
"Let's go, Princess. I'm not going to like this one bit, but I will go with you."
Kim looked at her commander.
"By your leave, sir," she said.
Optimus nodded.
"May Primus be with you," he said.
Kim smiled before pulling away from Shego and transforming into her vehicle mode. With a loud rev, Kim and Shego shot forward into the Ground Bridge.
Shego was whooping as Kim took a large hill at full speed, taking to the air for at least six seconds.
"Enjoying yourself, Shego?" Kim asked.
Shego laughed before leaning down to kiss Kim's windshield.
"Very much so, Princess. You really know how to treat a girl!"
"I tried letting Ron do the same, but he threw up after a mile."
Shego laughed as Kim sped up even more.
"How much farther, Princess?"
"We're almost there."
As they turned the corner, an Energon bolt landed in the ground next to her.
"Well, well, well."
Shego looked up at the robots standing above them.
"It would seem that there is a new Cybertronian on this planet."
Shego glared at the bot.
"Get that flesh bag off your back and come with us."
"Shego, step off for a second."
Shego kept her eyes on the bots in front of her as she dismounted Kim, allowing Kim to transform.
"I don't believe we've met," Kim said as she charged her palms. "But as we can both see, we are not on the same side."
The lead bot looked at the insignia on both of Kim and Shego's chests.
"We are with the Autobots. I will not go with you 'Cons. Now leave me alone before we take you down."
"You dare to disrespect Lord Megatron? Leader of the Decepticon?" a silver bot with wings on his back demanded.
Kim looked at the bot in front of her, a sword had appeared under the cannon on his right arm.
"Another Autobot to kill."
Kim lifted her hands and shot a bolt into Megatron's eye, making him cover his face. The other bolt shot into the thin silver bot next to Megatron, hitting him in the chest. The bot fell over, his optics going dark.
"She offlined Starscream!" one of the other bots said.
Kim shifted into her vehicle mode and Shego got on, turning around to head back the way they had come.
"Stop them!" Megatron yelled in rage. "Bring me that small Autobot!"
"Ratchet," Kim said over her comlink. "We need a bridge now!"
A ground bridge opened in front of them and Kim shot through. As soon as she was in the middle of the Autobot base, the ground bridge closed.
"What happened?" Ratchet asked.
"Megatron tried to capture us," Shego said as she got off Kim and let the girl transform.
"What happened other than him showing up?" Ratchet asked.
"Well, I shot him in the optic and some other bot called Starscream in the chest. One of the other 'Cons said that I 'offlined' Starscream, whatever that means."
Optimus looked at Ratchet.
"You have made a very dangerous enemy today, Kimberly," Optimus said as he looked at her. "Starscream was Megatron's second in command. Saying that you 'offlined' Starscream means that you killed him."
Kim gasped as she covered her mouth.
Shego put a hand on Kim's shoulder and pulled her into a hug.
"I've got you, Kimmie," Shego said as she rubbed Kim's lower back below the tires.
Kim clutched the older woman as she started to cry, streaks of Energon tears falling down her face.
"What's the matter, Kim?" Jack asked as he walked over.
"I don't kill!" Kim cried as she turned to look at him, her optics wide with fright. "I'm against killing! And yet I took a life!"
Kim felt a hand on her tire and turned to see Arcee kneeling next to her.
"Kim, this is normal for Autobots. If we don't kill them, they'll kill us."
"But-"
"Kimberly, sometimes it is unavoidable."
Kim looked up at Optimus.
"I have snuffed countless Decepticon sparks in this war. If we don't fight back, they will kill us. You don't have to kill if you don't want to."
"But remember that this is a war," Ratchet said. "It's kill or be killed."
Kim turned to Shego and held the older woman tight. She then started walking away with Shego in her arms.
"I need some time to think," Kim said looking up at Shego. "Will you help me talk this through?"
Shego nodded before leaning down to kiss Kim on the cheek.
"Of course, Kimmie."
Kim smiled as they turned toward the hallway and their room.
Kim has taken her first life and is not happy about it. Will Shego be able to help her see that it is a necessary evil? Or will Kim just refuse to kill? Those answers next time! Til then,
Talon Earthstone
