I do not own Kim Possible or Blue Gender. Don't I wish... 'sigh'

4 Agony

The group landed in Korea with no problems until a Blue came barreling down the docks. Joey was in the crane, lifting the trailer off of the cargo ship, Shelia was standing guard while Kim helped support Robert. As soon as all four saw the Blue, it was alert mode in an instant.

The Blue, flexing it's tail, threw itself at the crane, hoping to catch Joey off guard. Joey, on the other hand, had other ideas. When the Blue threw itself at the crane, Joey dropped the trailer the five feet to the ground and jumped from the crane's controls.

Kim helped Robert into the trailer while Shelia kept her gun trained on the Blue. Joey, as soon as his feet hit the ground, made a break for the door to the trailer.

The Blue, still on the crane, looked around and saw that it's meal was trying to get away. It jumped just as Joey sat down behind the wheel and floored it.

"Wooh! Ha ha! Those Blue sure don't wast any time saying hello, do they?" Joey said as he turned to look at Shelia. "But did you see the way I jumped out of that crane? Talk about timing!"

Kim looked away as she said,

"Yeah, I saw."

Shelia, looking over data on her arm-top computer, didn't look up as she said,

"Joey, keep your eyes on the road."

"Alrighty," he said, returning his gaze to the road.

"Shelia."

She turned to look at Robert in the back seat.

"Have you identified that Blue?" he asked, his voice heavy with pain.

Shelia lifted her arm and showed the screen to Robert.

"It's here. It's in our data on the Korean Zone. Spring-worm type. It's a ground based variety, it's core is on the front of it's head."

Robert grabbed his shoulder, trying to lessen the pain.

"Let's keep away from them. Our goal is to contact with the Seoul Recovery Squad, and not be drawn into a fight."

Shelia nodded.

The trip to the Recovery Squad's point was a quick one. When they got there, all they found was death and destruction.

An Armor Shrike was down and all of the capsules had been broken open. Off in one corner was a group of Meat Dumplings.

Kim stood there shocked by what she was seeing. Then a glint caught her eye. Upon further inspection, she saw that it was a locket with a family shown.

Kim glared at the dumpling, wishing that she could have helped.

"Dammit!"

Joey looked up from the pod he was inspecting and looked over at Shelia.

"Hey Shelia, looks like there are no survivors from the Recovery Squad or the Sleepers."

Shelia looked at him with her usual aggravated look on her face.

"Then let's move out. There's nothing we can do."

They left the area and were soon driving down yet another street.

"The Seoul Recovery Squad has been completely wiped out. We'll have to find another way of getting to Second Earth."

Shelia was standing in front of Robert.

"All right," he said, "then we have to find a means to contact the station on our own, that's our priority. Unless we notify them that we've survived, and soon, we'll all be stranded down here."

"If we can locate a communications facility and it's satellite up link system is still intact, we may be able to get through, that is assuming we can secure the location."

Kim kept her eyes locked on Shelia as she told Robert a suggestive plan. As soon as she had heard enough, she turned around and looked at the dash, still lost in thought. That is until she heard a dog.

"Joey, Joey! You gotta stop, I heard something!"

They continued to drive and Kim still heard the dog barking. After a few more seconds of driving, Kim rushed over to the window and saw a girl with a dog.

"Joey c'mon! Stop this thing! There's someone down there!"

That's when she saw the Blue.

"Blue!"

She turned to look at Joey. He had a stoney expression on his face as he kept driving.

"Kim, pay no attention," Shelia said as she sat down in the seat next to him.

"What the?" Kim stuttered. "What are you talking about?"

Shelia didn't say a word.

Kim watched for a few more seconds as the Blue started to move in. That's when she acted.

Kim stood up and jumped out of the moving vehicle.

"What the hell?!" Joey said, his eyes wide as he watched Kim jump. He then slammed on the brakes.

The girl was backed against a wall. Her dog stood between her and the Blue. After barking at the creature, the dog ran at the Blue and latched on. But it only served to iratate the Blue. It shook the dog off as if it was a bothersome fly and continued toward the girl. She closed her eyes and waited for the end.

But the end didn't come. She heard gunshots and looked to see a young woman walking toward her with a gun trained on the Blue.

The Blue turned and started moving toward Kim and she continued to shoot it. As it was about to ram her, she jumped out of the way and dropped her gun as soon as she hit the ground. She looked over her shoulder as the Blue turned to her again.

Slowly, but surely, she grabbed her gun and flipped over from her front to her back and started shooting again, this time, hitting the core.

As soon as the creature stopped moving, Kim looked over at the girl that she had saved. The dog from earlier was okay, as it ran over to the girl. She embraced the dog as soon as it was close.

"Hey, are you okay?" Kim asked as she walked over.

The girl scooted back and her dog started growling at Kim.

"That was a close one, huh?" Kim asked. "My name's Kim. What's yours?"

The girl looked down at her dog as she answered.

"I'm Yung."

Kim smiled.

"Yung, huh? Well that's a real nice name."

Kim turned around as she heard the trailer slowly make it's way toward her.

Kim didn't notice, but the girl started to shake, completely terrified.

Joey got out with his gun as Shelia walked over to Kim.

"Hey, did you guys see what I did?" Kim asked, happy with herself. "I took that bug down!"

Shelia walked up and slapped her face hard.

"You shouldn't have done that!"

Kim glared at the woman as she held her stinging cheek.

"The girl needed my help!"

"Well now you've put all of our live in danger! Those gunshots that you carelessly fired are only gong to draw more of the Blue to this location!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. But that girl, she ah, Yung?!"

Kim looked around, trying to find the girl. She had ran off.

After a second of staring into the alley, the ground started to shake.

"Damn!" Joey said. "Quick, let's move it! There gonna be here soon!"

Shelia glared at the younger woman.

"Getting out of this city just became harder thanks to you!"

Kim's face dropped as she looked at the older woman.

"Shelia, I think we're stuck here for a while," Joey said. " We'd better find some place to hide."

Shelia nodded before glaring at Kim again.

Kim lowered her gaze to her shoes and just walked toward the trailer.

They drove on, looking out each of the window. They wanted to keep an eye out for that girl.

"If that little girl was playing around here," Joey said, "then there has to be a safe place nearby." He turned to look out the window Shelia was looking out and saw the girl walking across a river that was paralele with the road. "Hey! There she is!"

Kim got up from her seat and moved closer to the window. She saw the girl walking across on what appeared to be long metal beams.

Joey slowly stopped the trailer so everyone could get a good look at where they were heading.

"We can't make it across with the Armor Shrikes," Shelia said. She then looked around at the buildings that were set away from the river. That's when she saw a garage. "Joey, we'll have to park the trailer in there."

Joey nodded.

"Yeah, got it."

It only took a minute before the trailer was parked and the door to the garage was down.

Robert, Joey, Kim and Shelia then all made their way towards the beams and safety. With Shelia in the front and Joey in the back, that left Kim to support Robert as they all made their way across the beams.

Hearing a noise, Shelia and Joey turned to aim their guns toward a dark alleyway. That's when they noticed the girl, Yung, from before.

"Joey!" Kim said. "Take him!"

As soon as Joey had taken Robert from her, Kim shot off down the alley after Yung.

"Kim stop!"

As soon as Kim reached the end of the alley, she turned to her left and saw several people walking around. With both fists in the air she yelled,

"I'm not alone! This is great! There's still some people left just like me!"

She walked over to a man and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Hello there!"

The man didn't say a word. He just turned his head to glare at her.

"Hey, your worries are over," Kim said. "We're here now. Everything's gonna be okay. Yeah! Great, huh?!"

Another man glared at her as well. Turning her head, she saw that everyone was glaring at her.

"What's the matter with all of you?" she asked.

"Kim!"

Kim looked over her shoulder and saw Shelia standing there with Robert still being supported by Joey.

"What are you doing?! Get back here!"

Kim started moving toward the older woman when she looked back an noticed Yung.

"Hey Yung."

The girl took off down the alley that she had been standing in, Kim hot on her trail.

"Stop Kim!"

"Not again," Joey said. "What do you think we should do?"

Shelia looked at Joey over her shoulder.

"Let's find a place to set up camp for the night."

Kim continued to run down the alley in search of Yung.

"Yung! Where are you?!"

As soon as she came to the end of that alley, she looked to her right and saw a more ruined area of the city.

"My God," Kim said, her eyes wide with shock.

She started walking down the street, looking at the damages that had befallen the area. Stopping and pulling away a blanket that was used to cover a door, she stared at the two people in the room beyond.

She continued her search for Yung, stopping here and there to look at the other rooms. What kept catching her eyes was the food that had started rotting on the floor. She looked away and closed here eye.

She opened her eyes when something hit her foot. She looked down and saw a small red ball. Picking it up she walked over to where it came from and pulled open the curtain.

"Hey Yung!"

A woman was clutching her son as if Kim was about to take the boy away. Even the boy had a look of horror in his eyes.

Kim dropped the ball and backed away, falling down when she tripped over something. Looking over her shoulder, she nearly screamed in terror as she saw a man, just skin and bones, lying on the ground behind her.

"What's going on here?" she asked.

She looked over to a pile of debris and saw Yung looking at her before she took off.

Kim easily caught up and gently grabbed her arm.

"Wait. Why are you running away?" Kim asked when the girl tried to get away. "Don't your remember? It's me, Yung. I'm not going to hurt you."

Kim released the girl from her grip and she stepped a few feet away.

"Maru!" Yung said looking to Kim's feet.

Kim looked down and saw the dog from earlier rubbing up against her leg affectionately. She knelt down and started petting the dog.

"Oh! Maru! So that's your name isn't it?"

Yung was surprised. That is until a man pushed her aside.

"Yung, stay away from this girl, you here me?"

"But this girl helped me. She saved me from those monsters."

"No! You should know better. You know you can't count on the people from Second Earth! They couldn't care any less about you or me or anybody else down here!"

Kim stood and looked at the man. Looking over her shoulder, she saw several people glaring at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Why?" she asked, her face a mask of fear.

Joey and Shelia had finished setting up camp.

"Robert," Shelia said, looking at her armtop computer, "all of the bridges have been destroyed. It looks like the only way to get a cross is over that narrow scaffolding."

"There must be no flying Blue here. That's the only way humans could possibly survive in this area, the only way."

"Not for long. These people are lucky. Their location hasn't been revealed to the Blue yet. But it's only a matter of time before their found."

"You're right."

Movement caught Shelia's eye. There, walking towards them, was Kim, her head down, her pace slow.

"Kim! Where the hell have you been?! Unauthorized activity is strictly forbidden!"

Kim glared at the older woman.

"Have you seen how these people live here?! What in the hell did you guys from Second Earth do to them?!"

No one said a word. They just put on stone cold faces.

"I want to know why they all look at me with hate in their eyes! Well say something for Christ sake!"

Shelia glared at the girl.

"In space," she said, "food and energy are very limited. As a result, only a chosen few were transported to Second Earth. Since that time, our orders have been very clear. Our objectives are to be completed at any cost. And any humans that remain are to be considered to be already dead."

"Already dead?" Kim asked. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means, for us, whether any of those people live or die has no bearing on our mission."

Kim gasped and thought back to the man she had seen pull Yung away from here.

"So you, you guys abandoned them!" Kim took a step back and pointed at Shelia. "Now you listen to me! I'm not like you people from Second Earth! And I don't need your permission to do anything! You got that?!"

Kim then turned around and ran off. She ran until she found a bench next to the river, where she sat down and started to think.

'What the hell is happening here? I don't know how Shelia can be so cold,' Kim thought before feeling something rubbing up against her leg.

When she looked down, there was Maru.

"Hey, Maru," she said before looking to her left. There stood Yung. "Yung?!"

She pulled her arm from behind her back. In it was a paper bag.

"Here!"

Kim opened the bag and pulled out a package of butter coconut biscuits.

She was surprised to see so much still in the package. She looked to Yung.

"Are you sure?" she asked the girl.

Yung nodded her head.

Kim pulled open the package and grabbed one.

She chewed it slowly before swallowing, savoring the taste.

"These are good!"

Kim then held out the bag with the rest inside.

"You eat the rest, okay?" she asked.

Yung was surprised yet again. When she didn't move to take the bag, Kim gently took her hand and placed the bag in it. Yung smiled.

"Know what, you're different from the other soldiers."

"Like Shelia?"

Yung nodded.

"Well, that's because I'm from a different time than they are, Yung."

"Huh?" the girl said. She looked at Kim.

"I was asleep for a long time. But that was long before you were born. Back then I had hope for the future. But the future doesn't look so bright these days, does it?"

"I wish I could go to sleep for a long time. When you're asleep the Blue can't get you."

Kim stepped over to the girl and knelt down in front of her before grasping her arms.

"Yung, don't worry. No matter what happens, I will protect you!"

"Promise?"

Kim nodded and caused Yung to smile.

Kim walked back to camp not long after.

'There has to be some way I can help Yung. There has to be,' she thought before an idea hit her. 'If we can make contact with the Space Station, we can send for a rescue party. Shelia won't agree, but I know once the rescue party sees what's happening down here, then maybe.'

She ran the rest of the way to the camp and saw Robert asleep in his own tent. She continued on until she looked around a corner and saw Shelia and Joey without their armor. Joey was touching Shelia's breast and he was kissing her neck.

'At a time like this, how could they?' Kim wondered before walking away.

Joey was about continue when Shelia stopped him.

Kim walked over to a building and looked at the stars.

The next day they started planning.

"Robert," Shelia said, holding up her map to the injured man, "take a look at this. There's a tower here with a satellite up link! I think we might be able to make contact with the Space Station from there!"

Robert nodded.

"Joey," Shelia continued, "let's get ready! We're gonna move out!"

"Yeah. Okay!" Joey responded.

"Kim. You too!"

"All right," Kim said as she looked her gun over. 'I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get these people some help!'

They made their way back to the trailer and took off for the tower. It didn't take them long to find it.

"Aw great!" Joey said when he saw the tower. "They've turned this whole place into one big nest."

"What'd you say?" Kim asked.

Joey turned to her.

"A nest! You know, where they live!"

"We're going in?"

Shelia looked over at Kim.

"This might be our only chance to make contact. Let's go!"

They made their way to the main doors and pushed them open, keeping their guns at the ready. Taking it slow, they started walking into the entrance hallway. They kept going until they all saw a large hole in the wall. They all walked over to it and looked in.

"What's this?" Shelia asked.

On the wall was some strange bulbs.

"What are those things?" Kim asked.

"They're eggs! Blue eggs!" Shelia replied.

One of the eggs started cracking.

"It's hatching!" Joey said.

Out of the bottom of the egg came the head of a baby Blue.

"There's no core?" Joey asked.

"No," Shelia said. "It's under the skin!"

There, pulsing under the skin on it's face, was indeed the core.

"You mean it's shielding it's core?" Joey asked.

"These things are definitely evolving," Shelia said.

The Blue opened it's shield and hissed.

There you have it. My KiGo version of episode 4. I hope you enjoyed it. :)
