Eternal Star Institute, Toronto division.
It took quite a bit of favors and string pulling (and begging the parents) to get here. They camped out on the roof, for some reason it was often a common point of most break ins. Like it was required by law or something.
Ron was playing on his Gameboy advance SP, nailing the necromancer, while Kim eyed the entrances like windows and the door they came through earlier. To be truthful they both were a bit on edge, not only was this villain capable of taking out building after building of people without a trace of evidence but if they were wrong about tonight their parents would never let them live this down.
And if that happened than there might not be another mission as long as they live.
“Hey, Kim.” Ron said while turning off the handheld. “May I ask you something?”
Kim eyed the open area and it's shadows, “yes.”
“I was wondering, about Faust?” Ron knew this was touchy about this type of this sort of thing. “What happened anyway?”
Kim was kind of taken off guard by the question, that wasn't a subject she brought up with anyone. There was only one person besides her that knew what happen that day, and she's peacefully sleeping in her grave.
“Would you mind, if I didn't talk about that.” Kim spoke in a tone so out of character it kind of scared Ron. He would have pushed on the subject a little if Kim hadn't lifted a hand to silence him, there was a strange yet faint noise in the air. A droning, thrumming sound that became louder and more steadier.
Ron saw it, and so did Kim. It was a military style helicopter, a huey in fact, it was now over the complex and heading to where they were hiding.
“Not the most stealthiest,” Kim noted. “Are they?”
“Not from where I'm standing,” Ron had to raise his voice a little as the huey loomed over head now. They watched it as the side door opened, it was hard to see what was going on within the vehicle but it was starting to tip to one side.
“What is that?” Ron asked, there was something moving but it wasn't a human. To big and angled oddly.
The huey tipped a little farther, it's cargo fell from the open door. Kim and Ron took cover in case it was a bomb, they eyed the scene as the huey lifted into the air than moved on leaving behind a unusual cargo.
“Okay, this is bizarre.” Ron said. Kim pulled him back down behind the large metal vent in case it was a bomb.
The object laid there, doing nothing except make the two heroes a bit paranoid. Kim risked a quick look, she couldn't tell what the thing was from this angle. She pulled out the Kimmunacator, “Wade, a helicopter just dropped something off here. Can you do a scan of it?”
“Sure, just let me manually take over here,” Wade said. Kim placed the device on the ground before it deployed wings and flown over to the object.
“Okay,” Wade said to himself while sending out a scanning signal, “let's see what's so scary about you?”
It was an intense eight minutes, Kim and Ron watch the device look over the item before heading back.
“Well, is it going to blew up or what?” Ron asked panicked.
“Ron, calm down,” Kim said while placing a hand on his shoulder.
“Good news and bad news,” Wade said. “The good is it's not a bomb, the bad.” The object clicked, letting out a heavy stream of steam as the lid lifted up. “There's someone inside.”
Shego eyed them, emerging from the shadows she noted the long and sharp scissor like metal claws that extended from over sized metal cuffs. They all had a type of visor implants, each wore a strange uniform that reminded her of the European police that chased her in Paris a while back.
Three took up a position behind her while four take a frontal assault, she gave a confident smile before stepping to the right to avoid a swipe from an assassin. Moving swiftly Shego barely avoided a follow up by the same assassin and a different one, Ducking down than kicking out the footing of them she wished that she had her gloves, this would be so much more easier and funner with them.
Rolling away as an assailant launched forward, she driven her heel into the jaw of the attacker. A assassin was arcing his arm back seeking to impale her, swiftly moving out of the way of the attack she landed in the middle of another.
A sharp kick to her already hurting ribs made the situation worse, Shego reeled back a little. The assassins took this as an opening in her defenses, three ganged up on her with claws posed to rend her flesh Shego jump over one elbow dropped the second than jumped on the metal claws of the third.
That in itself was a bad move.
A serge of electricity nailed her like a sledgehammer, loosing her footing she feel to the ground hard while all of the attackers gathered around her.
Her mind swirled around, this was the second time that she was facing death in the face in a whole week. It was just not her day, is it?
As their scissor claws approach her Shego thought about Kim, normally she showed up to stop these things, right? Before darkness claimed her sight she had one thought.
Where are you, pumpkin?
The steam was everywhere, making it even harder to see the silhouette of the being that was living in the box. Ron and Kim hung around the corner, waiting to see what will develop from this.
“Do we rush him or watch him just steal this lazer thingy?”
“Ron, quite,” Kim snapped in a hushed tone. She may have kind of shot an apologetic look but she still looked stern. She kept an eye on the person standing there, waiting for his/her move.
“Kimberly Possible.” A voice shouted, this kind of taken both members of team possible off guard. “I know you are here, that is why I am here.” There was some soft tapping, like someone wearing hard sole shoes trying to do a slow tap dance.
Kim stood there in the shadows, Ron was a few steps behind wondering what the next step. Do they face this guy and play this little game, or just ignore him?
Can't ignore him, Ron thought. But can't really play theses little games, he lean in close to Kim while the mist finally cleared away. The being, a man, was a bit tall and a little lanky with a black suit that barely hung to a stickly figure.
His hair was wild and matted, eyes hidden behind a strange device that looked like a VR helmet. He looked like he stepped out of a horror movie.
“Come now,” he said. “I came all this way, just to see you, Kimberly Possible. As I have a special message to delver.” He eyed the entire area, scanning it every carefully while Kim and Ron moved around to get a better position on this nut. “And it would be such a shame if I had to came this way and not…” He saw something with the enhanced vision of his visor, it was standing near the entry way of the building.
The solid concrete burst into small pieces that flew everywhere upon impact, Kim had shoved Ron out of the way while ducking back herself. The lanky man had dashed across the roof top and punched the area where team possible was under 3 seconds, Ron watched in horror as the man struck out with a open palm strike than sent the redhead sprawling to the ground than lunge forward in the air to perform a elbow drop.
Kim laid there for what seemed like an eternity before reacting, rolling forward just as the lanky man impacted the ground she manage to get to her feet. Dodging and blocking two palm slaps she countered by going in low, grabbing his knees from behind and sent him sprawling to the ground. But at last second his hand shot out, stopping the fall and springing him into the air where he landed on his feet on top of the entrance.
Who is this guy? Kim thought, the man crouched than launched at inhuman speeds. She barely blocked the strike aiming for her throat, Kim kicked high while he was settling to the ground.
Ron was standing there, off on the side lines stunned at the amazing show before him. He knew Kim was quite talented, but she was approaching superhuman talents with this man, he thought Shego had brought the best in Kim. He was apparently wrong, so wrong.
She's been holding back, Ron thought while gulping. Watching Kim sweep the man's feet from under him. And maybe, she's still is!
“HA!” The man shouted while sending a fist to Kim's jaw, she staggered a little before returning the favor with one to the man's visor. She heard a cracking sound, pulling her fist away she noted a little blood on her knuckles. Nothing really worth worrying about, it was the same amount that one get from a paper cut.
The man staggered back and stopped at the object he came in, it clicked and whirled before a could of smoke poured out of it, the look on his face wasn't pleased very much. As the smoke cleared away immediately after, he and the object were gone. Leaving behind a very frustrated Kim and a very confused (and slightly scared) Ron.
She didn't know where she was, the last thing she remember was behind taken down a peg as a villain.
Her whole body hurts and whatever she was tied to didn't help much. “What's going on?” She spoke in a pretty aggressive tone, trying to open her eyes but found darkness she had to take a wild guess that she was blind folded. “If you like breathing than let me out of this thing,” Shego snapped while struggling with her bondage.
Her reply came in the form of a boot to the cheek, dazed a little Shego so wanted to get her hands on this person. She doubled over repressing a scream when she was punched in her already broken ribs, she was pretty close to tears.
“You're going to help me,” a voice said. It was quite possible the beater, Shego was too pre-occupied with all the pain to really think about that. “Like or not, kiddy cat.” Shego screamed after something nailed her in the ribs again.
“What do you want,” Shego hissed. She was hovering between conscious and darkness at this point, “what is the big idea of beating be to a pulp?” She gained a sock to her jaw.
“Simple,” the voice said. “It creates a more emotional impact.”
Emotional impact? Shego thought before blacking out after the last blow.
“Maybe you over worked her too much?” She said to her subordinate while standing over a viciously beaten Shego. Lifting a foot it landed on the side of her body.
“Look whose talking, Ms. Faust.”
“Oh be quite, type - 01.”
They stood there, a henchmen came over and pulled Shego's shattered body up and placed her back into the chair she was sitting in. This was going one hell of a plan.
