One hour later……
The ball had already started. It had, of course, taken place in a large ballroom. It was huge, about twice the size of the Middleton’s School gym. All around the ballroom were large circular tables, spread around the whole area, filled with at least, ten guests each. In the center of the room was Arthur’s table, where he was seated, along with Zabav, and eight other guests, probably other politicians, Kim assumed. Along the sides of the ballroom were two buffet tables on each side, filled with a variety of delicious delicacies, that Ron, was digging into, along with Rufus.
Also at the end of the ballroom was a large dance floor, however no one was present upon it. Near it was a small string quartet playing a soothing, waltz-like melody. Kim was next to one of the buffet tables that Ron was feasting upon. She kept her eye on Arthur most of the time to ensure his safety, but only short, quick glances, just enough not to arose suspicion. She also made an effort to glance at the other guests; some of them could be spies. But so far, none of them looked suspicious, however, Zabav occasionally shot a glance at Kim and Ron during his conversations with Arthur. Every time he did, Kim immediately looked away from him.
For almost a thirty minutes, Kim kept her eye on Arthur, but it seemed like nothing was going to happen. All Arthur was doing was talking with Zabav, and the other politicians seated next to him. Kim took her gaze away from Arthur, only to grab a small glass of cranberry juice. She hadn’t eaten anything ever since she and Ron arrived.
As she took a sip from her cranberry juice, Ron came up next to her with a plate in his hands, filled with different types of food from the buffet table. Rufus was in the middle of the plate eating some peanuts in a bowl that Ron picked up.
“Anything unusual, KP?” asked Ron as he took a bite out of a shrimp he picked up from the buffet.
“No, nothing so far,” Kim said, taking another sip of her cranberry juice. Secretly, though, she was kind of hoping that nothing would happen tonight. True, every mission was very important, but she had something else on her mind. She wanted to spend more time with Ron; it seemed that ever since that night, where they had their first date, they always were called upon by secret organizations, politians, etc…, so, they never got to spend a lot of time dating, and making a better relationship. Oh, sure, they always were with each other on their missions, but to Kim, that didn’t seem enough. She wanted to at least, have an official date with Ron without any distractions, but it wasn’t easy with the missions. This was indeed a dilemma. “So, Kim, what’s the matter?” Ron asked while eating a piece of garlic bread. Kim immediately snapped out of her personal thought to realize that she had just been standing there next to Ron, like a zombie.
“Oh, it’s nothing Ron. I’m just doing a little thinking,” said Kim, trying not to look embarrassed.
“Well you better think happy thoughts, because Mister Big and Grouchy is coming,” said Ron pointing to one of the tables. Kim turned in the direction of where Ron was pointing, to see that Zabav was walking in there direction. He was holding in his hand, a glass very similar to the on Kim was holding, it even had the same colored drink within the glass. He had an angry look on his face as he was walking towards Kim. Both Kim and Ron stood their ground as he was walking towards them, he probably was going to ask them a few questions, or either give them a lecture about this mission. He did not intimidate them; both Kim and Ron wanted to prove to him that they weren’t going to be afraid of anything.
Zabav then came up to both Kim and Ron with a disappointed look on his face. He then turned his attention to Kim. “So………you’re Kim Possible.” He said. Kim was a little surprised by this question, certainly Arthur had him about them at the table. She didn’t know what to say to this comment, she wanted to impress him, but at the same time, she wanted to insult him a little; she didn’t really like him after that talk he had with Arthur. Then, as she was thinking, something involuntary emerged from her lips.
“So…………..I’m Kim Possible,” she said sarcastically, putting her glass down on the table next to her. She then slapped her hand over mouth, just realizing what just happened. Ron was a little surprise by this comment; she usually was very serious around people.
Zabav did not seem surprised by this comment. “It seems you’re not only a world teen hero, but also a comedian as well.” Kim’s cheeks flushed with red pigment. She was extremely embarrassed.
It was now time for Ron to jump in, and save her. “So, Zabav my man, why you over here for?” Ron kind of thought this was a dumb question, but he had to break the tension for Kim.
Zabav then turned his attention to Ron. “What do you think?” he asked with an angry tone in his voice. Ron knew the answer to this question already.
“So, you doubt us as being competent for this mission?” Ron asked, although, he didn’t really want to know the answer.
“YES!” Zabav answered loudly that spit was zooming out of his mouth, but not loud enough to disturb the other guests. Ron and Kim both backed away from Zabav a little. He then slammed his drink down next to Kim’s. “Look you two,” said Zabav angrily pointing his finger at them, “You two better be as good as Arthur says. I will not have two, undergraduate teenagers put my best friend’s life in danger because they are too young and incompetent to do anything!”
This was a big insult to Kim. She clenched her fist together in anger. “We are not incompetent!” Kim yelled to Zabav.
Zabav didn’t seem intimidated by Kim; in fact, her yelling only seemed to fuel his anger. “Well you better not be!” said Zabav angrily at her, pointing to her, “because if you mess up, even once tonight, me and my men will be all over you two like a pit bull on a poodle!”
Kim clenched her teeth in her mouth. She really was starting to hate this guy so much, that she wanted to punch him, but she couldn’t, not with tons of witnesses near by. Ron, however, didn’t seem angry or intimidated at all.
“My, that’s a vivid image,” said Ron, replying to Zabav’s last comment, while making a little chuckle. Zabav then glared at Ron with a huge angry look and Ron immediately stopped chuckling. He then furiously grabbed his drink and left to return back to his table.
“Well, he’s a happy camper,” said Ron.
“What’s with this guy?” said Kim, still a little angry. She then grabbed her drink of the table; she needed a cool, sweet drink to cool off. She then took a large gulp from her drink, but once the drink touched her tongue, she knew right away that what she was drinking wasn’t cranberry juice. The taste was extremely bitter and foul! Kim had a hard time keeping a straight face with this taste in her mouth! She wanted so much to spit out this disgusting drink out of her mouth, but with not so many guest around, so she did, the only thing she could do: she swallowed!
After she swallowed, the taste was still a little bit in her mouth. She felt a little sick as drink lay in her stomach. Ron saw the look on Kim’s face and became a little worried. “KP, is something wrong?” Ron asked next to her. “Bleach! This isn’t my cranberry juice,” she said holding the drink away from her at a distance. Then she noticed Zabav walking back to her, with a very furious look on his face. Oh great, now what does he want, Kim thought, trying to not think about the horrible taste in her mouth.
Zabav then came up to both of them. “I believe you, Miss Possible, have my vodka,” he said very agitated. Kim then looked at the drink she was holding, then at the drink Zabav was holding. Now she was really embarrassed.
She made a nervous chuckle and handed Zabav his drink. He forcefully grabbed the vodka and thrusted Kim’s drink at her, where it spilled a little bit on her dress. He turned away and walked back to his table. Kim then looked at the stain on her dress.
“I really, really, really hate that guy.” Kim said angrily.
“I’m not too fond of him either, but you got to admit, that was a pretty funny look you had on your face,” said Ron continuing to eat off his plate. “Yeah.” Rufus said in agreement.
Kim turned to him. “Let’s see you keep straight face when you drink vodka.”
“Nah, I think I’ll wait till I’m in college,” said Ron smiling.
Kim then smiled a little, “Yeah, you should. Too late for me though,” said Kim giggling a little, she kind of liked it when Ron was a little comical, it made her feel a little better.
“Yeah, I wonder what your parents are going to think when they find out that you had your first alcoholic drink at age sixteen,” said Ron with a raised eyebrow.
“Let’s just keep that to ourselves, right Ron?” she said getting close to Ron, pointing at his chest, and made tiny circles on his chest. Ron instant froze and made a weird smile as she made little circles, this always got him in a weird way.
She then stopped for Ron to unfreeze back to reality. “Maybe your parents don’t need to know,” he said with a huge smile upon his face.
“That’s better,” Kim said, getting a little close to Ron’s face, going for “The Kill”, but then she noticed some guests staring at them. She then backed her head away from Ron. “Maybe we should wait,” she said to Ron.
“Yeah, we should get back to the mission,” he said pointing to the table where Arthur was sitting. Kim nodded her head in agreement. Ron then went back to the buffet table to continue eating, and Kim still stood in her spot watching Arthur, making sure that she would not let anything happen to him, in order to prove to Zabav, that she could do anything.

One hour later…………
The ball continued to move on near the end of the evening. Guests had already finished their dinners, so they had started either dessert, begin more conversations, or was either dancing on the dance floor. Kim and Ron, however, were not doing any of these activities, though; Ron was enjoying a sample of dessert.
Kim still was keeping a close eye on Arthur. She didn’t stay in the same spot that she was standing in over an hour ago. During the hour, she occasionally walked around the ballroom, so not to arouse suspicion. She did during that time, talked to a few guest, just to get to know them a little. She also occasionally went to the buffet table to get something to eat. Ron was always at the buffet table with Rufus eating, but he did sometimes shot a glance at the table where Arthur was sitting.
Right now, Kim was just standing next to the table, still keeping an eye on Arthur. Her eyes felt very heavy to her, but she forced them to stay open. She had been watching Arthur for over an hour, and she was growing increasingly bored. So far for over and hour and a half, nothing had happened. The only violent incident that Kim and Ron had experienced that evening was when Zabav yelled at them.
Now, she was a little convinced that nothing was going to happen that night, which she kind of was hoping. Ron was also getting a little bored, plus; he was also getting a little full from all the food he had consumed. Even Rufus was a little plump from eating almost everything off the buffet table.
Ron then walked up to Kim, looking a little bored. “Anything yet KP?” he asked.
“Nope, just the same old, same old. He’s still talking over there with the other politicians,” Kim replied.
Ron just stood there next to Kim watching Arthur, “Well, this shouldn’t last long, we only got probably a half an hour to go.”
“How do you know that?” Kim asked, turning to him.
“I picked up this pamphlet at a table over an hour ago,” he said, taking a pamphlet out of his tuxedo pocket, which, he gave to Kim. Sure enough, he was right, the pamphlet said that the ball would end at 8:00, and the time now on Ron’s watch was 7:34.
“Well, I suppose that we could take a little break,” Kim said, taking her eyes off the pamphlet, “maybe we could have the rest of time to ourselves,” she said, smiling.
Ron instantly knew what she meant by that. He made the same smile. “Sure, sooooooooo what do you want to do?”
“Well, I think we could skip dinner, since you already ate half of the buffet table tonight,” she said smiling.
“Hey, you have to admit, Kim, that is world-class food over there,” he said pointing to the buffet table, “And plus, it wasn’t just me eating everything, most of it was Rufus, here,” he said pointing to his pocket. “HEY!” Rufus yelled inside his pocket.
Kim just smiled, Ron was showing cuteness again, and she loved it.
Just then, very faintly, both Kim and Ron heard a faint, yet soothing, melody coming from the string quartet. This gave Kim an idea.
But Ron was already ahead of her, “May I have this dance, Miss Possible?” he asked in a dignified manner, holding his hand out to her.
“I’d love to,” she said, grasping his hand, and they both walked to the dance floor. They both stopped in the middle of the dance floor. Kim instantly wrapped her arms around Ron’s body and placed her head on his shoulders and closed her eye just as soon as they started dancing. She did this because it reminded her off the dance back at Middleton. That was truly a romantic moment they had. It was perfect. They both showed their love for each other, by having their first romantic kiss. That moment was the most romantic moment of her young life; she would never forget that for as long as she lived.
As she was dancing, a thought just popped into her head, she wanted to relive that moment again, right now, as they were dancing. She wanting sooooo much to relive that same kiss again.
She then was just about to move her head back to meet Ron’s gaze, but then, something happened, Ron just stopped dancing. To Kim, Ron felt like he had completely frozen into a statue. The music had also had come to a halt. Kim then opened eyes to see what was going on. She saw that everything had completely was frozen; the guests didn’t move an inch, they didn’t even look like they were even breathing. She tried to free herself from Ron’s grasp around her waist, but she felt that she was frozen too; the only thing she could move was her eyes. She looked around the room to she if anything was causing this, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw something that stood out from the frozen guests. Over at the buffet table, there was a man that seemed to be staring directly at her, but not just any man; this man was wearing a full-bodied black leather coat that showed no amount of skin at all. Kim tried to let out a gasp, but she couldn’t, she was frozen. This was the same man that she saw at Middleton. Is this guy following me? She thought in her head, and what does he want with me? He just continued to stare at Kim through that faceless hood. Kim tried to stay focused as she was frozen, the last time this guy was staring at her; she felt like she was sinking in icy waters, but this time, she felt normal, except for the frozen part.
He continued to stare at her for what felt like an hour, then, he did something weird. He moved! Out of all the people here that were frozen, he was the only one who moved at all!
He slowly turned his gaze away from Kim, and then he turned his entire body away from Kim so that his back faced to her. Then, what he did was totally unexpected, he instantly disappeared into nothing.
Kim instantly froze with confusion. What just happened? she thought, who is this guy? Then just instantly, the music started played, guests started to move around, and Ron started dancing again. Kim tripped a little, still a little frozen about what just happened.
“You okay KP?” Ron asked, wondering why she tripped.
Kim lifted her head of his shoulders, “What just happened?” she asked him, hoping that he noticed.
“You tripped, why? Is something wrong with my dancing?”
“Not that Ron,” she said, starting to hope that Ron did at least notice something had happened, “I meant, why did everything freeze like that, and who the heck was that guy?”
Ron just stopped dancing and looked at her with a confused look. “…KP…are you feeling alright? You’ve been acting a little weird lately.”
“What do ya mean? How could have not noticed that!?!?” Kim said, raising her voice a little. She was really confused now, how could Ron not notice what just happened. “I’m telling you, everything just froze, and there was this weird gu-”
Suddenly, there was the sound of glass breaking coming from above.
SHATTER!!!!
Kim backed away from Ron and looked above to see tons of glass shards coming right down to them! Kim and Ron jumped out of the way, just as the glass landed on the floor, in a crystal-like rain. Guests began to freak out everywhere. People were screaming at the top of their lungs and running toward the exits. Because so many guests were blocking the doors, it was hard for then to get even through. While everyone was screaming and panicking, Kim could see Arthur, just sitting at his seat, looking calm and unafraid. Next to him, Zabav was panicking and begging Arthur to run with the other guests, but he refused and Zabav just ran to the other guet. Kim looked above from were she was seated on the floor were she landed. Above, a ceiling window had broken to pieces, and then a rope came down from the window. Kim immediately rose to her legs, this was it, they were here!
The rope dangled for a few seconds, and then, someone from outside was climbing down from it. It was a man, for a few seconds, Kim thought it was that cloaked man that she saw a few minutes ago, but it wasn’t. As the man climbed down the rope to the ballroom floor, his features were now visible. He was a tall man, probably in his last twenties, with a square shaped face. His eyes had a look of rage and anger deep within them. He had long black hair that had huge sideburns that stretched all the way to the edge of his cheeks. At the corners of his frontal lobe, four strands of black hair stood out which looked almost like tentacles, emerging out of his head. Out of the back of his head, he had a ponytail, which was divided, into separate strands of hair at then end. He was wearing, not a cloak, but some type of uniform that looked like it was made from biotechnology. It was completely black with huge claw-like branches that stuck out of the shoulder pads and the wrists; it also looked like it had faces of animals on the kneecaps and elbows. Just in the center of the suit, was a symbol. This symbol was a circle that had an animal, which looked like a cross between a dragon and a bird with burning red eyes. Kim knew immediately what this symbol was; it was the symbol of the Black Phoenix Cult!
Then Kim and Ron noticed something that he was carrying in his arms, a large machine gun!
“Everyone, get down, NOW!” the man ordered pointing his machine gun at some of the guests.
Some of the guests obeyed and lay down on the ground, while most of them continue to panic and crowd against the door. Kim and Ron both hid behind two tipped over tables that the guest knocked over while they were panicking.
“I SAID GET DOWN!” he yelled so loud that Kim had to cover her ears for a second. But she kept her ears covered after that, because he immediately fired his gun up into the air, to tell people that he was serious!
RATTA-TAT-TAT-TAT!!!
After he fired, all the guest got down onto the floor, all except Kim, Ron, and Arthur; of course, Kim and Ron were out of his sight of vision, so he couldn’t see them, but he did see Arthur just sitting there, staring at him.
The man lowered his gun to face Arthur and started walking towards him very slowly.
Kim turned to Ron. He motioned with his head towards the man, indicating that they should move in. Kim nodded in agreement, but she held out her hand and shook it back and forth, telling him to wait for a second.
Ron nodded. Kim then reached into her pocket, and pulled out a gadget that she kept in case of emergency, her laser lipstick! She tossed the lipstick to Ron, who grabbed it, and gave KP a confused look. She pointed to the lipstick and then motion with her head to the man walking to Arthur. Ron then nodded his head in understanding.
They slowly got up from behind the tables from where they were hiding, and slowly started to move in towards the man with the gun, staying out of sight.
The man came up to Arthur with his gun pointed directly at his face. “Did you not hear me, old man, or are you just deaf?” he said with a gruff voice.
Arthur just stared at him, with no hint of fear in him. “Hostility is the calling card of a weak intellect,” he said.
The man just stared at him. “Big words, old man,” the man said, making a small, sinister smile, “Too bad they will be the last words you ever say, old man.”
Arthur wasn’t afraid; he just stared at him, not affected by the man’s intimidation. The man then raised his gun to level with Arthur’s head. “You got till the count of three to get on the floor and beg for mercy, or I blow your head off.” Arthur refused to move.
“One…” he said, starting the countdown. Kim and Ron started to move in faster. I hope you know what to do Ron, Kim thought in her head. “Two………….” He continued, Ron was getting closer to the man at one side, and Kim at the other, just out of the man’s sight. “Two and a half……….” The man said, just biding his time before he was about to pull the trigger.
“THREE!” The man raise his gun and was about to pull the trigger, when Ron jumped out from where he was hiding and fired the laser lipstick at the man’s hand. The man instantly dropped the gun and cradled his slightly burned hand in pain. Lucky, the laser was set to “low” power; otherwise his whole hand would’ve burned off.
“AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!” he screamed in pain.
As he was distracted with his hand, Kim sprung out from the other side of the table where she was hiding, and kicked the man hard in the stomach!
“Oof!”
The man staggered back, cradling both his burned hand and his bruised stomach.
Kim and Ron then went to Arthur to see if he was all right. He was just fine.
“Arthur, you’ve got to get out of here with the other guests!” Kim ordered.
“I have no reason to leave, Miss Possible, I’m perfectly safe with you protecting me,” said Arthur, smiling.
Ron turned to him. “Please Arthur my man, you’ve got to leave, this might get ugly, please, we won’t be able to protect you if we’re distracted with these guys, please just go!” Ron ordered.
Arthur just let out a slow sigh. “As you wish, Team Possible, I will leave.” And he slowly got up with his cane and started to slowly walk towards the other guests.
Just when Arthur was a safe distance away, Kim and Ron both turned to the man, who was starting to stop cradling his hand and stomach. He looked at both Kim and Ron with great fury in his eyes.
“You kids should know not to interfere with adult business,” he said, with great anger, “Leave the protecting to the real professionals.”
“For your information,” Kim said, putting her fist up in an attack stance, “WE ARE the professionals!” Ron also put up his hands.
The man just stared in surprise. “…………….You are the bodyguards!?!?” he asked.
“Yeah, you got a problem with that, bud?” Ron asked in a mockingly way.
Then, the look of confusion on his face changed to a devious evil smile. “No, not at all, but you should choose your battles carefully kids, there are some battles that cannot always be won.”
“Try us,” Kim said with a similar smile as the one he had.
“Oh, I will,” he said. Then, he raised up his hand, and snapped his two fingers with a loud SNAP!
Kim and Ron just stood there, holding their ground, waiting for something to happen. Then, very faintly, they heard a slow rumble coming from the wall, left from them.
Then………….
BOOM!!!!!!!!!
The wall literally exploded into thousands of pieces. Out of the wall came out was a huge man, twice the size of Kim! He was a large obese man, with a huge waistline and huge muscular arms, almost as long as Kim herself. He had a small head, which was completely bald. His head also seemed a little small for his body. He was wearing a large vest, instead of a uniform, which had the same Black Phoenix cult symbol on it.
The large man walked up next to the other man. “As you can see kid, some battles will be difficult to win, for I, Xaldin of the Black Phoenix Cult, will not lose to a pathetic minor!” he yelled out of the top of his lungs. “Torque,” he said, talking to the large man, “Finish them!” he yelled, pointing to Kim and Ron.
“With pleasure,” said Torque, slamming his fists together and bared his teeth at them. Kim and Ron both gasped at the sight of his teeth. They were all sharpened into a pointed like way, to make it look like they belonged to some type of animal!
“That is sick and wrong!” Ron yelled, pointing at the teeth. “RAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!” Torque yelled at the top of his lungs, charging at Kim and Ron at full speed.

Finally, the moment you guys have all been waiting for, the fourth chapter of my series has arrived! Tell me what you guys think! ;D Kim Possible: The Unknown CH: 4, The Attack By Xander Mahaffy Houses of Parliament Torque came running at Kim and Ron at high speed, with his arms barred out in front of him, ready to crush them. Xaldin just stood behind him, just watching the massacre. Just when Torque was only a few feet away from Kim and Ron, Kim then performed a frontal back flip and landed on Torque’s face as he was running and jumped off his face-to-face Xaldin. Torque, completely disorientated on what happened, staggered as continued to run in Ron’s direction. Ron immediately jumped to the right, away from Torque’s path. Torque continued to stagger forward, completely unaware that the buffet table was right in front of him. He then body slammed into the buffet table, crushing it to the floor, and food splattered everywhere in all directions. Torque just lay there on the floor motionless, with the remains of the table under his huge bulk, and food covered all over his body. Ron looked disappointed. “Aw man and I was just about to dig into the banana cream pie.” “Awwwwww,” said Rufus, also disappointed. Ron then remembered about Kim. He was just about to turn to meet up with her, when he heard a faint rumble, coming from behind him. Fear then struck within him, he didn’t exactly want to know what was making that rumble. He then turned to the buffet table, very slowly. His heart was beating a little fast. Just as he was face to face with the table, he saw Torque standing, facing him, covered with different varieties of food. Torque’s eyes were filled with hatred and fury, obviously directed at Ron. Ron’s heart was now beating like crazy; sure, he had fought tons of large enemies, the biggest he ever fought was a large Sumo Wrestler Ninja, but THIS guy was twice the ninja’s size and width. Not to mention, more muscular too. Ron just stood there, staring back at Torque’s eyes. Perspiration was pouring out his skin. How the heck could I beat this guy? Ron thought. Then he said the only thing his mind could think of. “You know pal, you got to watch what you eat, those pies really add a lot of weight.” He then slapped his hand over his mouth, feeling completely idiotic. YOU IDIOT!!!, said his mind, which was screaming in his head. Torque’s veins on his neck then throbbed with blood, and the look on his face was complete anger! “RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!” roared Torque, as though he was some kind of animal baring his huge deformed teeth. He then charged at Ron, ready to crush his little skull with his huge muscular hands. After Kim jumped off Torque’s face, she landed well on her feet, facing Xaldin. In the background, she could hear Torque crashing into something. He obviously was out for now. Xaldin just stared at Kim, arms crossed and completely unamused. “Nice moves kid,” he said. “Thanks,” she said with a sarcastic tone, “It’s the benefits of being a cheerleader.” “A cheerleader? Well, if I had known that, I would’ve thought you would’ve run around the place, making flippy moves, waving pom-poms, and showing you’re cheerleading underwear to everyone in plain sight,” he said, making a sinister smile. Kim just clenched her fist together. “You ought to watch it, whatever your name is; you don’t want to mess with me.” “Oh please, I’ve heard worse threats. And do you really think you can beat me?” “Let’s find out,” said Kim, placing her fists up in a defensive stance. “Fine, your funeral,” said Xaldin in a devious tone. Xaldin then uncrossed his arms and spread his arms out, with fists open. Then, out of the sleeves of his uniform, two huge silver blades emerged at lightening speed! Kim staggered back a little in astonishment. The blades looked very lethal. He could probably slice Kim’s head off with those things. Kim could also swear that on one of the blades, there was a bloodstain on it! “Let’s see if a typical teenage cheerleader could match to one of these bad boys,” he said, lifting the blades into an attack position. “YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!” Xaldin yelled, running at her at full speed. Ron was definitely the one having the most trouble. He was running like mad across the whole ballroom, trying to outrun the huge bulk of muscle right behind him. Torque continued to chase after Ron, crushing anything that was in his way. Ron desperately tried to through Torque off him, by throwing any object he could find lying around, plates, forks, spoons, knifes, anything Ron could get his hand on. However, every time Ron threw something at Torque, they just bounced off of Torque, taking no effect! Torque ignored the flying objects and continued chasing Ron, getting closer to him with every step! This is getting nowhere fast, Ron thought. Torque was getting so close to him, that Ron could smell the scent of Torque’s sweat near him. As Ron continued to run like the wind, he saw in his a path, a table. With quick reflexes, Ron immedially slid under the table and put up the table on its side so that the table was completely vertical and the legs were facing in Torque’s path. With little time to react, Torque then smashed into the table. Pieces of the table went flying in every direction. Ron immediately ducked to avoid getting hit by the pieces heading in his direction. Torque continued to stagger forward, completely dazed and covered with wood chips. He continued forward, completely unaware that a wall was straight in front of him, until……….CRASH!!! Torque then smashed through the wall, covered with dust and debris, but he was not out, he was still awake, a little disoriented, but still awake. Ron had to act fast; it was only a matter of time before Torque would go running after him again if he caught sight of him again. He started looking around as fast as he could for a blunt object, something to defend himself. Then, he found one right near where he was standing, a wooden table leg! He picked up the table leg; it was firm and a little heavy, perfect for now. Ron then put the leg in his hands and went into a defensive stance with it, as though the leg was some type of sword; he had however, experience with the sword, since he went to a secret ninja school once. Torque had just turned around from the position where he was at, between the wall were he crashed through. He was a little dazed from the running and the crashing, but now was completely FILLED with RAGE!! His blood veins on his neck were so filled with blood that they looked like they were going to burst! He turned to Ron’s direction and, without thinking, he charged again at him, without even noticing that Ron had some defense. Now, Ron had to think fast, this Torque was extremely well built, but he must have a weak point, he would go for the head, but with his huge hands there waiting to crush him, he would have little chance getting there. Then, it hit him! Acting fast, Ron swing the leg downward and hit Torque as hard as he could in the groin! Torque then immediately yelped in extreme pain. “OOOOFFFFF!!!!!!” He then cradled his painful area, whimpering and yelling prophanities. As he was distracted, Ron then immediately jumped as high as he could and smashed the table leg on Torque’s head so hard, it broke in half!! Torque then just stood there, motionless with a dazed look on his face, then slowly, a purple bruise appeared on Torque’s head where Ron hit,….then, and he fell to the floor with a loud CRASH! Ron had to jump out of the way to avoid getting crushed by Torque’s huge bulk. He was now truly out for the count.

Kim was moving and dodging as fast as she could. Xaldin’s blades were slicing like crazy all over the place. He was chasing Kim as fast as he could, slicing everything in half that was in his way. Kim had to dodge every move precisely; one mess up and she could have her head rolling off her shoulders. In the background, she could hear and see Ron running from Torque as fast as he could, throwing whatever object he could find at him. She wanted to help him, but she obviously was in no position to help him, what with Xaldin trying to kill her!!
She continued to dodge Xaldin as much as she could. This man was a very skilled warrior, determined to defeat his enemies at all costs.
Kim continued to dodge away, facing Xaldin. Just as she dodged one swipe from Xaldin’s blades, her foot then landed on a plate, which must have fallen from the table she was just next to, which cause her slip a little. To prevent from falling to the ground, Kim spun around on the plate and grabbed the edge of the nearby table to avoid falling, but this proved to be a sorry mistake.
As she was clinging to the edge of the table, Xaldin sliced at Kim’s exposed back with his right blade, leaving a large red scar on her back!
“AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!” Kim cried out in pain. The pain was horrible; it felt as though he sliced through her chest. The pain was way worse than anything she had ever felt; it felt worse than Shego’s scratches.
As she tried to cover her wound with her left hand, she slipped of the table she was clinging and fell on the floor in a heap, dragging the table clothe along with her to the floor. After a few seconds of lip-biting pain, she looked up to find a large blade, just a few inches from her nose, with her blood dripping of the edge.
Xaldin stood there, laughing menacingly. “I told you kid, a cheerleader against me, you don’t stand a chance.” He arched his blade back a few inches, ready to perform the final blow. Kim quickly closed her eyes, this can’t be the end, she thought, I can do anything-.
Suddenly, from behind them, there was a loud CRASH!!! Xaldin stopped from striking and looked up to see what the heck happened. Kim then opened her eyes.
With Xaldin distracted for the moment, with all her strength, she then uppercutted Xaldin right in the chin!!!! Xaldin completely staggered away from Kim, screaming profanities and bloody murder! Kim then got up from where she was sitting and went into a defensive stance.
Xaldin continued to yell and scream in pain, when a large tooth shot out of his mouth and landed on the floor right in front of him! He looked at the tooth in disgust, and then he looked at Kim. Slowly, anger started to pulse through his veins!
“YOU’RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT YOU pregnant dog!!!” he yelled at the top of his lungs. Kim refused to move, she obviously was not intimidated. And because of that, Xaldin charged at Kim at full speed ready to slice her. It seemed that these guys liked to charge at their foe in order to kill them, but this time, Kim was ready.
Just when Xaldin was just a few feet away from Kim, Kim did a frontal kick at Xaldin’s face, which sent Xaldin flying in midair in front of her, and then he landed with a loud WHAM on his back, completely knocked out.
Kim just stood there for a few seconds looking at Xaldin’s body, and then she flipped her hair in sort of victorious manner, meaning she had won.
“How does it feel to be beaten by a cheerleader?” she said mockingly to Xaldin’s body.
Just then, behind her, she heard another loud CRASH!!!! She immediately turned around to find Torque on the ground, motionless, and Ron next to him with the remains of a wooden stick in his hand. He was breathing heavily, perspiration was pouring out all of his pours. Then he took his attention from Torque’s humongous body to Kim.
“Kim!” he yelled with extreme joy, he ran over to her and wrapped his arms around her. Kim did the same thing to him. “I’m so glad your okay,” Ron said, hugging her. “I could say the same about you,” Kim said hugging him back. As they continued to hug each other, Ron then felt something wet and sticky as he touched a portion of Kim’s back.
As Kim was too busy hugging Ron, Ron brought his hand up too his face to see what he had felt. As he brought his hand to his face, he could see that it was covered with a dark red, sticky substance, in other words: blood!
Ron freaked out and literally jumped back, shaking his hand as though a bomb was stuck to it. Kim staggered back a little after Ron had pushed her away.
“Ron, are you okay?” He most certainly was not! His face was completely pale and he made no effort to respond to Kim. Instead, he just ran around Kim to face her back. On her back was a huge red and bloody scar that stretched all the way from her left shoulder down to her right hip.
“KP, what the heck happened!?!?” said Ron, freaking out over the scar. Kim looked over her shoulder to see that it indeed was a large scar, but it had stopped hurting and just after she had beaten Xaldin.
“Oh, that, it’s nothing Ron, I’m sure it will heal,” said Kim, trying not to make a big deal out of it. Ron, however, was.
“Are you kidding!??!? Look at the size of this thing! Come on, we got to get you patched up!” he said, grabbing a hold of Kim’s arm, trying to head to the door. Kim refused to move.
“Ron, come on, it’s no big deal, it doesn’t even hurt anymore,” she said, removing her arm from Ron’s grasp.
“NOT A BIG DEAL, HAVE YOU SEEN THE SIZE OF THIS THING!!!!??!?!” yelling in front of her face, but then he started to calm down, “Come on KP, we have to get it cleaned up before you get an infection or something!”
“Ron, it’s no big deal, watch,” she said. She then picked up a piece of tablecloth from a nearby table, ripped a smaller piece from it, and wrapped it around her back; although, she needed a little help tying it.
“Uh, could you tie it up for me?” Kim asked, pointing to the two ends of the tablecloth.
“Sure,” said Ron. He then grabbed the two ends and tied the two ends together, tightly. Kim bit her lip in pain; it stung a little when Ron tied it.
After Ron was done tying the tablecloth, Kim turned to face him. “See, it’s no big.”
“Yeah, but still, can we get it properly stitched up later on?” Ron asked, looking a little bit worried.
“Ron, will you just lighten up a little bit, it’s no big.”
“Please!” Ron asked, trying to do the lip shaking technique, which didn’t look that good. Kim, though, thought it was a little cute.
“………Alright Ron,” she said, giving in.
Ron’s face then lit up with joy. “Great, then let’s-”
Suddenly, he was then interrupted by a faint noise, and then it started to grow. This was no, doubt the sound of applause!
The applause was coming from all around them, from all the guests that had hidden away from the battle. Each was clapping as loud as they could, for the efforts of both Kim and Ron. In one corner, Kim and Ron could see both Arthur and Zabav clapping for them.
As they continued to clap, the guests all moved in towards both Kim and Ron, where they surrounded them, and thanked them with forceful handshakes.
Kim and Ron huddled close to each other to avoid getting bumped and crushed by the guest, but instead of crowding around them, the guest gave them a little bit of space and took turns thanking them.
Arthur was one of the last people who came to greet them. He limped slowly towards both Ron and Kim, with a look of joy and hope on his face.
“Miss Possible, I knew that you were the best of the best, I just knew it,” he said with utter joy.
“It’s no big, sir,” said Kim, blushing a little bit.
“Right, what she said,” said Ron, smiling “Nobody messes with Team Possible.”
“I agree to that,” said Arthur, making the same smile as Ron.
Just then, Arthur moved to make way for another politician. “Kim, this is my friend Charles Hanagan, he wanted to thank you for your heroic efforts.
“Then why didn’t he thank me before?” said Kim, making a sarcastic smile.
“Who could, what with all the other politicians here, crowding around you,” said Arthur sarcastically. Some of the guest laughed, while others just went about their way, making way to leave.
“Well, here he is,” said Arthur, moving out of the way for another politician. The man moved forward so Kim could get a good look of him. He was a tall politician, about 5’11”, with blond hair that had brown stripes coursing through. He had a smooth face, with almost a teenage look to it. He almost looked like Josh Mankey to Kim.
“Pleasure to meet you Kim,” said Charles with a dignified manner. He, of course, didn’t sound like Josh Mankey, he sounded much older, somewhere like in his late thirties.
“That was a exquisite performance you put off out there, beating those two ruffians to a plump.”
“Oh, I was no big,” she said.
“Are you sure, because one of them left quite a large scar on your back,” he said, pointing to her back.
Kim blushed a little; she didn’t want people to make a big deal out of it.
Arthur then looked at the bandage and the scar. “Oh dear,” he said, looking worried, “Well, I’m sure the paramedics will patch it up, once the authorities arrive to pick these two up,” he said, pointing too the bodies of Xaldin and Torque.
“Indeed,” Charles said in agreement. “Oh and Miss Possible, I wanted to thank you for saving our lives,” he said, making a jester to shake Kim’s hand. Kim shook his hand; he had a very strong grip.
“Without you or Ron, we would’ve never-”
Suddenly, something zoomed past both Kim and Ron’s head at lightening speed.
FFFFFFFFFWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
Something then landed right on Charles face! Kim and Ron just stared in horror! It was a huge dart! It had landed right on Charles’s face, just between his eyeballs. Blood was pouring out of the wound as though it was a fountain!
Kim and Ron both staggered backwards, as they watched Charles’s body fall to the ground, motionless.
All the guests started to freak out again. Some headed to the doors, panicking as though they wanted to wake the dead. However, most of them just stood rooted too their spots in fear.
Arthur had staggered backwards from Charles’s body in horror, and Zabav was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly, from up above, a man jumped down from the window Xaldin broke through, and landed, on his feet without any pain, right in front of Charles’s body.
The man was completely covered in a black, cloth-like, suit; he almost looked like a ninja. Only his eyes could be seen through the suit, and they had a large look of anger and hatred. Along his waist was a cloth-like belt, which had a huge samurai sword wrapped in it. Also, on his chest was a symbol of a dragon-like bird with red eyes. No doubt, this guy was another Black Phoenix member!
Both Kim and Ron stood in a defense position, ready for anything this guy might throw at them. However, the man didn’t look like he noticed them positioning themselves. He just stared at them for what felt like an hour to Kim and Ron.
Then……………he moved at lightening speed at both Kim and Ron, drew his sword, and wrapped his arms around Ron, with his sword placed at Ron’s neck!
“KIM, HELP ME!!” yelled Ron, trying as much as possible to keep the sword from his neck!
Kim didn’t know what to do actually, but she tried her luck. “LET HIM GO NOW!!!” Kim yelled as hard as she could to ninja. Instead of complying, the ninja just growled at her and brought his sword closer to Ron’s neck, that it almost was touching it.
“KIM, DO SOMETHING!” Ron yelled. The ninja then hit Ron’s stomach so hard that all the air in Ron’s chest was knocked out.
Kim didn’t know what to do, if she messed up, she could have the head of the person she loved the most rolling across the floor. Her hands began to twitch in fear, and her mind was racing, what could she do?!
The ninja just stood there, waiting for Kim to do something, as though he wanted to she Kim suffer if he killed Ron!
Suddenly! THWWAAAAAAAAAAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ninja just then dropped the sword and fell to the ground, motionless. Ron just stood there, completely rigged after the ninja just dropped to the floor; he almost looked like he was going to wet his pants.
Kim just stood were she was standing and stared at the ninja’s body. Then she looked at Ron to see if she was okay, then she saw a person behind Ron, it was Arthur, with his cane in hand, holding it as though it was a staff or something. He looked like he had lifted a huge truck, because he was breathing heavily and he was perspiring.
Kim went to Ron and gave him a huge hug. “You okay?” she asked in his ear.
“Yeah, yeah, I’m okay,” said Ron, trying to catch his breath.
After they both hugged each other for a while, they both turned to Arthur who looked liked he had trouble breathing. He then looked toward Kim and Ron.
“You know…………maybe sometimes…………..you need a little help…………..once in a while,” he said.
“………….Yeah, maybe we do,” said Kim, nodding in agreement.

The authorities had already arrived and were taking care of the situation. They already had taken the ninja and Torque, which they had a hard time of lifting him. But now they were dealing with Xaldin, who had already had woken up, was putting up quite a fight with them, but it was nothing that they could handle.
Paramedics had arrived and were already cleaning up Kim. The wound had healed quite a bit, so all they had to do was clean the wound up and patch it up with a patch.
They already had picked up Charles on the ground. He was already dead. There was nothing Kim and Ron could do about it.
As the paramedic was doing the finishing touches on Kim’s back, Kim felt a little sorry for Arthur’s loss. “Sorry about Charles, sir,” said Kim.
“Yeah, sorry we couldn’t do anything about it,” said Ron, watching the paramedic fix up Kim.
“It’s alright Miss Possible, it’s not your fault,” he said with a small smile on his face.
Kim was a little concerned about Arthur, it seemed he could deal with death a lot.
“Well, you done,” said the paramedic, finishing up.
Kim looked at the patch, and then she looked at the paramedic. “Thanks a lot,” she said with a smile. The paramedic nodded and went to the other paramedics. Leaving Kim and Ron alone.
“Well Miss Possible, I think you did a splendid job of-”
Just then, Arthur was interrupted by Xaldin. The authorities were trying to drag his to the door, but he kept struggling as he yelled as Kim.
“YOU PANSY-ASSED RETARDS ARE DEAD! YOU HERE ME? DEAD!!!!!!!” he yelled at the top of his lungs as he was dragged past Kim, “I’LL WEAR YOUR EYEBALLS AS JEWELRY! I’LL SLAUGHTER YOU LIKE VEAL!!!!”
“Would you just shut up,” Ron snapped back at Xaldin as he was being pulled away.
The guest had already started leaving, the ones that stayed to watch the massacre were leaving; the others who had already left, well, you can just guess.
As the guest the were leaving, they gave both Ron and Kim their last goodbyes and thanks to them. The last person to leave was Zabav. He stayed for a few seconds behind Kim and Ron.
“Excuse me, Miss Possible,” said Zabav. Kim and Ron both turned to face him. Oh great, Kim thought, what does he want now?
“Miss Possible………I wanted to thank you for everything,” said Zabav, as though he was having a hard time trying to speak, “I’m sorry for doubting you, you both are indeed the best team I have ever seen,” he said forcing a smile.
Kim and Ron both smiled at him. “It’s alright Zabav, my man,” said Ron.
“It’s no big, right?”
“Thank you,” said Zabav, finally smiling, instead of faking it. Then he turned and left with the other guests, feeling pretty good with himself.
Kim and Ron both turned to Arthur, smiling. “Well, it seems that you didn’t just won the battle, Miss Possible,” said Arthur, smiling at them.
“Yeah, so Arthur, since the job is kind of done, can we talk about-”
Just then, Ron was interrupted from Arthur. A man had just walked up to Arthur with a cell phone in his a hand. Kim assumed that this man was an assistant to Arthur, because he had a sort of geeky look, what with glasses, blond hair, and all.
“Uh….sir,” said the assistant, “Can I talk to you for a second?”
“Sure,” said Arthur, “Mister Stoppable, can you excuse me for a second?”
“Uh, sure.” Then Arthur and his assistant moved away from both Kim and Ron to where they could not be heard, but they still were in sight.
While they were talking, Kim shot a look at Ron. “………….What?” Ron asked, looking a little nervous at Kim’s look.
“How could you ask him about money right now, one of his friends have died!”
“Come on Kim, lighten up a little, he said it wasn’t our fault,” Ron said.
“Yeah but still, we failed in protecting everyone.”
“Kim, I’ll say it again, lighten up- oh, here he comes,” he said, pointing Arthur, who was waking toward them.
“Change of plans you to, I won’t be giving you you’re payment right now, which I assume Ron was going to ask,” he said, looking to Ron with a smile on his face.
“But sir,” Kim interrupted, “won’t we be deducted for the death of you’re friend, Charles?”
Ron just looked at Kim as though he was looking at a ghost.
“It’s alright Miss Possible, I probably should’ve introduced him to you earlier to tell you that he was suffering from terminal colon cancer, he was going to die anyway,” said Arthur.
“Oh,” said Kim, looking down.
Arthur then placed his hand on her shoulder. “Hey, It’s alright, he’s in a better place now.”
“I guess so.”
Arthur gave her a smile. “So, to get back to the point, I won’t be able to pay you two right now.”
“Why not?” Ron asked.
“It’s my ex-wife, she’s wants to talk to me about………..financial issues between us, so this might take a half hour or more,” he said with a look of disappointment on his face, “So, why don’t we reschedule this meeting to, oh, around nine-o-clock?”
Ron and Kim both looked at each other. Ron just gave Kim a shrug.
“Sure, I guess so,” said Kim.
“Great, I suppose that could be enough time for you two to spend some quality time with each other,” he said with a smile, he certainly was optimistic towards Kim and Ron.
Both Kim and Ron blushed, but deep down, Kim thought that it was kind of a good idea; she finally could have an official date with Ron.
“Sure,” said Kim, still blushing a little.
“Great,” said Arthur, then he snapped his fingers to his assistant behind him, who then gave him a piece of paper and a pen. Arthur immediately started writing upon it.
“There’s my address, please be on time Miss Possible,” he said handing her the paper.
“We will,” she said, putting the piece of paper in her pocket.
“Great, then I shall be taking my leave,” said Arthur, and he walked away from Kim and Ron, with his assistant, down one of the halls in the building until he was out of sight.
Now Kim and Ron were alone in the building. They both looked at each other for a few seconds, then they both smiled at each other.
“Well, shall we?” Kim asked, holding her hand out, smiling.
“We shall,” Ron said in agreement. He then grabbed a hold of Kim’s hand, and they both walked out of the building together, starting their first official date.
In a dark room, only lit by a few lights and by the fireplace; stood Arthur by the telephone. This was obviously his office, since he was standing by a large wooden desk, bearing his name upon it. The room was filled with many valuable objects, china, paintings, statues, etc. this all added an eerie look to the room with the help of the fireplace, burning very brightly. Arthur continued to talk on the phone. “The pleasure is all mine,” said Arthur to the woman on the telephone.
On the telephone, the woman was in a way, exasperated with excitement. “Thank you so much sir, you will be forever remembered in the Angel Covers Foundation for donating 6 million dollars to us.”
“Oh, I don’t think that will be necessary, I prefer to remain anonymous.”
“…Well, thank you anyway sir, we owe you our gratitude.”
“The pleasure is all mine, I’m just glad to help. Goodbye now,” and he hung up the telephone. He then placed his delicate hands on the top of his desk and looked down upon it, looking a little worried. Many things were buzzing throughout his head, all of which seemed to trouble him.
Then, he took his gaze from his desk, to the wall in front of him, as though he sensed something. He slowly took his gaze away from the wall to the corner of his eye, where the armchair, which stood in front of the fire, had its back faced to him.
“……………….I know you’re there,” he said the armchair. For a while, there was only the sound of the fire burning in the room, nothing more. Then, from the arm chair, a voice spoke.
“You’ve done well Arthur, A plus work, maybe you should give up you’re career as a politician, and start a career as an actor,” said the voice. It had a chilling, evil tone, which sent chills up Arthur’s spine every time it spoke. Arthur just stood there, refusing to turn to the armchair to face whoever was in it.
“Even I was impressed, you made it though they believed every word you said.” Arthur still wouldn’t move.
“I know,” Arthur said softly.
“But then, they do believe you, they trust you, except, there is more to you than meets the eye Arthur,” said the voice with a sinister tone.
Arthur wanted to change the subject; he knew where this conversation was going. “Why did you show yourself during the ball, people could have seen you when you pulled that stunt?”
“It was a test for her, nothing that you would understand anyway,” said the voice, sounding impatient.
Arthur just stood there; the tone in the voice was making him feel unruly and nervous.
“To get back to the point, I must say, you did a great job bringing them closer to us. What was it that really got them to you? Ah yes, that, so-called, murder of your son.”
Arthur’s fists clinched on the desk, but he dared not to face the voice. He then could hear a figure rising from the chair, talking to him.
“But what was the real story behind your son?” said the voice, as though it already knew, “Wait, now I remember-”
“SHUT IT!” yelled Arthur. This was the first time he could yell in a while, his body was very frail, but it seemed he didn’t care. “DO NOT BRING BACK THOSE MEMORIES, EVER!!!!!!!”
He then stared down at the desk and started staring at his own hands. “These hands have shed blood and the memories still haunt me, even after YOU came along!”
The figure did not seem frightened. “But he was an alcoholic, a drug addict, and he stole things; in other words, he was a common criminal.”
Arthur just stood there, with tears coming out of his eyes.
“At first you did nothing, I wonder why?” said the figure slowly walking towards Arthur.
“You know d**n well why,” said Arthur with anger in his voice.
“Oh yes, I do, to prevent ruining his reputation, and yours, I would call that selfish, but every time you caught him, your anger grew and grew with each passing day, yet you did nothing drastic enough to stop him.”
Arthur still refused to move. “But then, I suppose that anger became too strong, even for you, when you heard that your son made a deal with the world famous criminal: Shego, finding out that he had given her a DNA sample of himself for more mind altering drugs; I suppose you and I are the only ones who know the real truth, you were so desperate to hide what YOU did from the rest of the world.”
“STOP IT!!!!!!!!!” Arthur yelled as loud as he could. He finally turned to the figure behind him, completely filled with hatred. “WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?!?!?” “WHY DO YOU KEEP REMINDING ME OF WHAT HAPPENED?”
The figure just stood in his spot, not intimidated of Arthur’s yelling. “I’m just seeing if all I have done for you has helped you.” Said the figure calmly.
“WELL, IT HASN’T!!!!!” Then, after all that yelling, Arthur’s health started to catch up with him, and he started coughing as though he was trying to hack out his guts. “COUGH-COUGH-COUGH-COUGH!!!!!”
The figure did not move and made no effort to help Arthur in any way, it just stood in its spot, watching Arthur hack up a storm.
After a few more coughs, Arthur eventually stopped. He was breathing heavily, in and out, trying to catch his breath. He turned away from the figure, and placed his hands upon his desk. “Even-cough-though you tried to repress my memories with whatever demonic abilities you poses, they still come back to haunt me.”
Tears were flowing out of his eyes. He lifted his hands towards his face and started staring at them.
“I can still see his face, with my hands wrapped around his delicate throat, choking him until I could feel his life leave his very body, and nothing you’ve done could help me forget what I’ve done!” he said, balling his eyes out.
He then lowered his head to the desk and wrapped his arms around his head and continued to sob on the desk. The figure just stood there, watching him sob. For a few moments, the room was silent, the only sounds that could be heard, were Arthur’s sobbing, and the crackling of the fire.
Finally, after a few minutes, Arthur’s sobbing was beginning to slow down. Then, the figure spoke. “……………As you know, you’ve done your part for this act, your services are no longer required, and I will handle the rest.”
Arthur then stopped sobbing. He lifted his head, and wiped the tears away from his eyes. “…………..Yes………..I know.”
Arthur then stood up straight and placed his hands on his desk. “I’m ready,” he said softly.
The figure walked directly behind Arthur, and whispered softly in his ear. “Don’t worry my friend………………….it will be quick.”
And then, Arthur fell to the floor, completely pale and motionless.

Finally, after all that hard work, the fifth chapter is finished, tell me what you guys think. Sorry it took so long, I had finals. ;D Kim Possible: The Unknown CH: 5, The Enigmatic Man By Xander Mahaffy In a nearby park, somewhere in London….. Kim and Ron were having the time of their lives. After the attack at the House of Parilement, they both left together to start their date. They both left together, and went to a nearby park, not far from the House. It was a large park, filled with a large variety of foliage. There were also a lot of exotic statues and fountains that made this moment more romantic for Kim. Also, a full moon was out, making the evening the best evening that she was having. All they did was stare into each others eyes as they walked through the park. All Kim and Ron could think off that night is how much they loved each other. They knew each other since they were toddlers, who knew that they ever would fall in love with each other. In the middle of the park were a fountain with two statues of a man and a woman dancing together, Kim and Ron both sat down on a nearby bench, hand-in-hand. They huddled next to each other as they looked at the fountain. In a way, that fountain almost symbolized how Kim and Ron felt for each other right now. Kim then turned to Ron. “Ron?” Ron turned to her. “Yeah?” “Don’t you think it’s hard to believe that we meet as toddlers, but now we’re in love together?” Ron just smiled, “No, I don’t think that at all,” he said, “I think that that was meant to be, us meeting and all that.” “I think so too, Ron,” she said, smiling at him. Then they both turned to the fountain again, watching it in peace. After a few more minutes, Kim turned to Ron again. “I love you so much, Ron,” she said. Ron turned to her, “I love you too Kim.” They both drew each others face towards each other, and locked their lips in a passionate kiss. As she kissed, Kim somehow in a way, blacked out. A vision came into her mind, a vision that she would cherish forever. She was walking down a large red carpet in a large, beautiful, white church with her father’s arm wrapped around her arm. She was wearing a beautiful white dress and was holding a large bouquet. Left and right of her stood many large rows of seats that had relatives sitting and watching her walk down the carpet. In front of her, Ron stood at the front of the church with Monique and Wade, all dressed up in Tuxedos or dresses. Also in the center of them all was a minister, smiling at both of them. When Kim made it to Ron, Ron took her hand and helped her up to face the minister. The pries then opened up a bible he was holding and began to read. “Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God to join together this Man and Woman in holy Matrimony; which is an honorable estate instituted of God in Paradise, and into which holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined. “There fore if any man can shew any just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace.” Nobody answered. The minister then continued. “I require and charge you both, as ye will at the dreadful day of judgment when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, that if either of you know any impediment, why ye may not be lawfully joined together in Matrimony, that ye confess it. For ye be well assured, that so many as be coupled together otherwise than God’s Word doth allow are not joined together by God; neither is their Matrimony lawful. “As which day of Marriage, if any man do allege and declare any impediment, why they may not be coupled together in Matrimony, by God’s Law, or the Laws of the Realm; and will be bound, and sufficient sureties with him, to the parties; or else put in Caution to prove his allegation; then the solemnization must be deferred, until such time as the truth be tried.” The minister then turned to Ron. “Wilt thou Ron, have this Woman to be thy wedded wife, to live together after God’s ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt the love her, comfort her, honor her, and keep her, in sickness and in health; and forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?” Ron answered, “I will.” Then the minister turned to Kim. “Wilt thou Kimberly have this man to be thy wedded husband, to live together after God’s ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt the obey him, and serve him, love, honor, and keep him in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?” Kim answered, “I will.” The minister then turned to Wade. “The rings please?” he asked politely. Both Monique and Wade pulled two rings from pillows behind their backs and handed him the rings. He then placed the rings upon the bible and placed his hands over them. “Bless these Rings, O merciful Lord, that those who wear them, that give and receive them, may be ever faithful to one another, remain in your peace, and live and grow old together in your love, under their own vine and fig tree, and seeing their children’s children. Amen.” The minister then took one of the rings and gave it to Ron. “Ron, repeat what I say as you place the ring on Kim’s fourth finger: With this Ring, I thee Wed, and with my body I thee honor, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow; In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.” As Ron put on the ring on Kim’s finger, he repeated the minister. “With this Ring, I thee Wed, and with my body I thee honor, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow; In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.” Kim then stared at the ring. It was a beautiful gold encrusted ring with a large diamond in the center. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. The Minister them turned to her and handed her the other ring. “Kim, please repeat the exact words as you place Ron’s ring on his finger. “With this Ring,” Kim said, trying to remember the words, “I thee Wed, and with my body I thee honor, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow; In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.” The minister then turned to both Kim and Ron. “I now pronounce you man and wife,” he said with a smile, “you may kiss the bride.” Ron then turned to Kim, lifted up the bridal cloth, and kissed Kim gently on the lips. As they both kissed, Kim then somehow came back to reality. She was still kissing Ron back at the park. Was that vision somehow real, or was it a premonition? Kim then just left those questions for later and continued to kiss Ron. She wouldn’t care if this lasted forever. Unknown to them, as they kissed, they were being watched.

After the date, Ron and Kim both went to a nice Banana Republic store to change into their mission outfits, but as usual; Kim was trying on some dresses that she thought were cool. Ron however had finished dressing and was waiting out from Kim’s dressing stall.
“How long is this going to take Kim?” Ron asked, checking his watch, “You’ve been in there for over a half-an-hour, you know we’ve got to be there at 8:00.”
“I know that Ron,” she said as she was dressing in another outfit. “But a girl has to do what she has to do to look good.”
“Come on KP,” Ron kept complaining, “You look fine the way you are, you don’t need a fancy dress to look better.”
As he was talking, Kim emerged from the dressing stall in a nice black dress that looked a lot like the one she had at the ball, except it was a little bit shorter around the legs, kind of like the dress she wore when she had the Moodulator. She even put her hair in front of one eye to give herself a sexy look.
“I mean, come on, you must have put on like fourteen-” he then stopped when he saw Kim in the dress. His eyes began to widen and his jaw dropped as he stared at the dress.
“A girl doesn’t need a dress to look good, huh?” she said making a sarcastic smile.
“Okay, I admit, that looks good on you.”
“Great, then you won’t mind me buying it,” she said smiling.
“Oh no,” Ron stuttered, “That thing looks too expense to me.”
Kim then started to do the lip-quivering puppy dog pout. “Oh no, not the puppy dog pout,” he said trying to look away. Kim continued to quiver her lip, until eventually Ron gave in.
“Fine, I’ll chip in a few bucks, but you owe me some money when we get our reward from Arthur.”
“Deal,” said Kim, shaking Ron’s hand, and she darted back into the stall to take of the dress.
She then emerged from the stall in her mission cloths. “Maybe you look a little better in THAT,” said Ron sarcastically, pointing at the mission clothes.
“Oh, cut it out,” she said, smiling. They both went to the cashier and bought the black dress for about $150. Luckily, Ron only had to pay only $30 bucks, considering that Kim had $120. After it was purchased, she put the dress carefully in her backpack.
They then went outside to catch a taxi. Ron flagged down the first taxi that they saw. They both got in the taxi and they handed the driver the directions the Arthur had given them. The taxi then started and they were on their way.
The Taxi ride to Arthur’s house was a little bit long, almost a half an hour to be exact. Ron had already fallen asleep, and he was rested his head peacefully on the car door. Rufus was also asleep in Ron’s pocket, making cute snoring noises.
Kim was awake, but very drowsy. All she was doing was waiting for herself to fall asleep as well. To her, being in a driven car was the best place to take a nap. The humming of the motor, the feeling of the drive itself, she found it quite comfortable. That’s why she always took a nap in the car at long drives.
But right now, she couldn’t sleep; all she was thinking about was that kiss and vision she saw in her head. Would they really get married one day?
She really hoped so, but if they did, what would they do for work? Kim usually wasn’t paid for her work, but maybe Ron could earn the money. He did have a culinary talent. Maybe, he could even become the CEO of Bueno Nacho someday, but what about her?
It was typical for couples to think about these things, but right now, Kim decided that the answers would have to wait for the future.
She then looked at Ron, who was quietly asleep. She slowly started to stroke his hair as he slept.
A small smile appeared on his face. He probably was having a great dream right now. She loved him so much. She never would’ve thought that she would fall in love with her friend that she had been with since kindergarten, but some how, she knew.
She then smiled back at Ron and slowly kissed him on the forehead. He stirred a little bit after the kiss, but then he went back to sleep.
“Goodnight Ron,” she said softly in his ear. She then made herself comfortable in her seat and just shut her eyes. It was only after a few minutes that she fell asleep.

Kim was then woken up by the taxi driver. “Yo, maim, you wanna wake up? We’re at the address,” said the Taxi driver. Kim slowly started to wake up.
Sure enough, he was right, they were already there. Outside from the taxi window stood a large mansion. It was huge! It was the kind of mansion you would expect a billionaire to own!
Kim just stared at the mansion in awe for a few seconds; it truly was a sight to behold.
Just then, “Yo, lady, you gonna get out or what?” interrupted the taxi driver. Kim then looked at him angrily. “Fine,” she said, irritated.
After she had paid the rude driver, she and Ron got out of the taxi to see the huge mansion. As the taxi left, they stared at the mansion in awe for a few seconds. This mansion was a huge three story building. It had a unique Greek arctect style to it, what with four huge pillars in the front.
The mansion wasn’t the only thing that was unique to the place. The garden was even more spectacular. The garden was split with a large lane, coming from the sidewalk going directly towards the mansion. On each side of this lane stood two huge gardens filled with a variety of exotic plants. Also in the garden stood marble statues. Each of these marble statues had a type of Greek-ish style, what with some of the statues being decapitated and half-naked, but still, it added uniqueness to the garden.
When the finally arrived at the door, they stood also in awe at it as well. It was a beautiful redwood door with beautiful crystal windows.
Kim then turned to Ron. “Well, shall we?” she asked, smiling at him. “We shall,” Ron said, also smiling.
Kim then rang the doorbell. This doorbell was a loud one. It chimed in the same way that Big Ben the Clock did. It even counted the number of hours, which was eight.
BING BONG BANG BONG! BONG BANG BING BONG! BA-BONG, BA-BONG, BA-BONG, BA-BONG, BA-BONG, BA-BONG, BA-BONG, BA-BONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After it was finished, Ron just stared upward to where the bell was coming from.
“Now THAT is some doorbell,” he said. Kim nodded in agreement; this indeed was a unique doorbell, not to mention a loud one too.
Then they started to wait for someone to answer the door. Both Kim and Ron were eager to see Arthur again. Mostly, Ron was also eager to get the 5 million dollars, in cash.
So they waited, and waited, and waited, and finally after five minutes, nobody answered the door.
They both just stared at each other, confused. “Maybe they didn’t here it enough,” Ron said. Ron knew that this was highly unlikely, considering how loud the bell was. So Kim rang the doorbell again, and it rang its Big Ben ring.
BING BONG BANG BONG! BONG BANG BING BONG! BA-BONG, BA-BONG, BA-BONG, BA-BONG, BA-BONG, BA-BONG, BA-BONG, BA-BONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing. Nobody came to the door. Kim peaked inside one of the windows. Inside was complete darkness, nothing could be seen at all. Kim then looked to Ron, “Nobody’s inside, but I thought he was supposed to be here by now.”
“Try knocking,” said Ron, “Maybe they’ll hear it better.
So Kim knocked hard on the door.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!........CREEEEEEEEEEKKK! SLAM!!!!!!!!
The door then fell off its hinges and landed flat on the floor.
Kim just stood there, staring at the door with a look of shock, with her fist still in the air.
Ron just stared at the door on the ground and then turned to Kim. She then turned to Ron.
“………………..I didn’t do that, I barely touched it,” she said, looking a little bit shocked.
Ron just nodded slowly in agreement, but he still had the look of shock on his face.
Then they both looked inside the door less house with a little hint of nervousness on their faces. Even Rufus peeked out of Ron’s pocket to see what was going on.
Darkness, all they both could see was darkness. There was no hint of anybody in the house at all.
Kim and Ron both slowly walked into the house with caution. The moment that they set foot in the house, a sharp chill then ran down Kim’s spine. She shuddered a little bit at it. Ron felt it too. He too was beginning to shudder with fear.
In the house, all was silent and dark. There were a few bits of furniture and antiques around the room, but they added a strange chill to the foyer: the room where guests enter the house. Statues were placed in some areas around the foyer, but somehow, they looked as if they were staring directly at them, as if into their souls.
This is getting out of hand, thought Kim, I’ve been in worse places that this.
She then immediately broke the silence. “HELLO?!?!” she yelled in to the house.
Ron then jumped and yelped with shock! “Jeez KP, you wanna warn me before you yell? You almost gave me a heart attack!” said Ron, gasping with shock.
“Yeah!” agreed Rufus, he also was a little bit scared.
“Sorry about that Ron,” said Kim, “I was just trying to break the silence, it just seems too quiet.”
“Tell me about it,” Ron agreed, “I mean, how could there not be anybody in a house this big?”
“I don’t know,” said Kim, “Let me try again. HELLO!!??!” she yelled as loud as she could.
Nothing. Nobody answered. All was silence. Kim then felt a little bit uneasy about this. She then reached in her pocket for her Kimmunicator and contacted Wade. Wade then appeared on the screen still at his computer as usual.
“Hey Kim, what’s up?”
“Wade, something’s wrong, we’re at Arthur’s house to meet him, but nobody’s here,” said Kim.
“Yeah,” said Ron, “It’s like the whole house is completely deserted.”
“Hmmm,” said Wade, pondering, “Let me lock on to your position with GPS satellite and I’ll perform a bioscan on the house.”
He then immediately started typing on his keyboard like crazy. After a few seconds of typing, he then looked at his computer for the results. Then a look of concern and confusion came on his face.
“That’s weird,” said Wade, “Other than you guys and a few rats and all, the whole house is deserted.”
“That is weird,” Ron said in agreement.
Now Kim was really starting to worry about the situation. But then, an idea struck her.
“Hold this,” she said, handing Ron her Kimmunicator. He took it and watched Kim. She took off her backpack and immediately started looking for something. She then found it, her sunglasses.
“Uh, what’s with the sunglasses?” Ron asked
“There sensor glasses Ron, you should know that.” She put the glasses on and turned then on. Though them, she could see the entire room in a dark red glow. Then her glasses picked up something on the floor: white footprints!
“I got something,” she said.
“What?”
“Footprints.” Indeed, there were footprints, other than hers and Ron’s, there were other footprints. Oxford shoes, the kind worn by butlers, and high-heel shoes, maybe worn by maids. They were all scattered around the area, but they all seemed to be going in one direction.
Kim then followed the footprints, until they eventually reached one location: the door!
Kim moved the door on the floor to get a good look at the footprints. All the footprints were scattered everywhere around the doorway, as though the people were struggling to get out. Kim then looked around the doorway, fingerprints were also scattered around the doorway. There were defiantly trying to get out.
Kim then took off her glasses and turned to Ron. “Well, I figured something out, it looks like everyone was trying to get out of this house, as though they were running from something.”
“But what?” Ron asked. “………..I don’t know,” said Kim.
“Maybe you guys should search the house,” said Wade on the Kimmunicator, “I’ll contact you guys if I find anything,” and with that, he logged off.
Ron then handed Kim back the Kimmunicator. “Well, let’s get started,” said Kim. She reached into her backpack and pulled out two flashlights. She turned hers on and tossed the other on to Ron, and the immediately began their search.
The flashlights did provide a little bit of light around the mansion, but still, the house still had a strange sense of something dark. Luckily, the full moon was out, so that made the search a little bit easier.
Kim and Ron searched everywhere on the bottom floor. All that there was was a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, an exercise room, and TV room. The searched through all of them and all they could find besides a few fancy antiques and furniture was nothing, nothing at all unusual. All there was was a small level of dust on everything.
Kim and Ron were now in the living room, searching every corner for anything suspicious.
Ron was getting a little bit tired and bored, considering that they’ve been there for over a half an hour. “Kim,” said Ron, looking under a couch pillow, “Why don’t we just call the police, there’s nothing here.”
Kim was beginning to get annoyed; this was the third time that he had asked him that. “Ron, enough already,” she said opening a nearby closet, “Come on, we’ve got to find-” As she looked in the closet, she dropped her flashlight, staggered and tripped in horror!
Ron then went over to her a little worried. “KP,” he said helping her get up, “What’s wrong?”
Kim could not speak; all she could do was point at the open closet door. Ron pointed his flashlight toward the closet. He then dropped his flashlight in horror at what he saw.
Inside that closet was a body! But not just a normal body, this body was hanging from a rope from inside the closet and the body was bright red and dripping, as though this man’s skin had been peeled off. A look of terror was on the skin-less face as it slowly spun from left to right.
“Oh my god!” Kim said, completely filled with shock. “It’s a whole new ball game, IT’S A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME!!!!!!!” said Ron, freaking out!
As they just stared at the body in horror, when all the sudden, her Kimmunicator beeped.
Kim and Ron both jumped at the sound of it. Kim slowly grabbed it from her pocket; her arms were shaking as she brought it to her face.
An image of Wade then came upon the screen. “Hey guys, just wanted to see how everything is going,” he said, looking cheerful.
“Wade,” said Kim, sounding shaky, “I think we may have a problem.”
“What?”
“THAT!” she said pointing the screen towards the body.
“……………….Oh my god…………….OH MY GOD!” said Wade on the Kimmunicator.
“Wade, I’m sorry to ask you this, but, who the heck is THAT?!?!” Ron asked, scared out his mind.
“I don’t know,” said Wade, trying to hold down his stomach, “Let perform a bioscan.”
A green light then appeared from the tip of the Kimmunicator and began scanning the body, starting from the legs going down. Kim had to look away when the light reached the face. It was just too horrifying and gross to look at.
After a few clicks and beeps from Wade’s computer, he was finished. He then stared at the results for a few minutes.
“Guys,” he said, sounding nervous, “I don’t know how to tell you this, but THAT’S ARTHUR’S BODY!!!”
“WHAT!!?!?” they both yelled in confusion. “It’s true, that’s his body,” said Wade, looking just as shocked as they were.
Rufus inside Ron’s pocket then fainted from shock. “Uuuuuggghhhhh.”
In her mind, Kim was freaking out. Who did this? Was it on of the Black Phoenix guys? This had never happened to her before! But why now!?!??!
“What are we going to do?” Kim asked, freaking out. “How should I know!?!?!” said Ron, freaking out as much as she was.
Kim tried to calm down, “Maybe we should get out of her and call the-,” she stopped.
“…….What is it,” Ron asked. “SSHHH!” Kim shushed him as she tried to listen for something. Sure enough, there was a noise coming from upstairs. THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! It sounded like footsteps coming from the second floor.
“Someone’s in the house,” Kim whispered to Ron.
“But that can’t be right,” said Wade on the Kimmunicator, “My bioscan said that there was nobody here.”
“Never the less, somebody is up there,” Kim said, “We might as well go check it out.”
“Are you NUTS?!?” Ron yelled at her, “What if it’s that guy to skinned Arthur? We’re putting ourselves in more danger than Drakken ever does!!”
“Never the less Ron, we might as well stop this guy if that’s him! Wade, contact the police and tell them to get over here!” she ordered.
“You got it Kim!” said Wade, and then he logged off again. She put her Kimmunicator back in her pocket and turned to Ron. “Let’s get moving Ron,” she ordered.
Ron just watched her find the stairs and move up them. He looked back at Arthur’s body and just shook his head. “I really got a bad feeling about this Rufus,” he said to his naked mole rat.
“Uh huh,” Rufus said from his pocket. They then followed Kim up to the stairs.
After a few who-knows-how-many steps they went up, they were now at the second floor. They both were in a hallway filled with many decorative artifacts. There were statues of knights, samurai, and all kinds of statues. There were also those fancy vases on those Greek pillars in the hallway. Also, there were glass stained windows which the moonlight glowed through. It certainly provided a lot of light which allowed Kim and Ron to see a lot better.
However, there was no sign of their mystery person. “Oh well,” said Ron nervously, “Guess no ones up here.” He then turned towards the stair case, but Kim grabbed him by the shoulder. “Come on Freakazoid,” she said tugging him down the hallway.
He then thought it was then inevitable to escape, so he gave up and walked with Kim.
But before they even got two meters away from the staircase, they could hear it again. Footsteps coming from right behind them and getting louder!
Both Kim and Ron froze with fear as a chill went up their spine. They both slowly looked at each other as the footsteps got louder. They both couldn’t move because they were both afraid of what was behind them. Even Rufus was cowering inside Ron’s pocket.
Kim then slowly began to over come with fear and began to slowly turn to the footsteps.
When she turned around all the way, all she could do was gasp! “Gasp!” There was a figure only tow feet away walking towards her without even stopping, she could see who it was, but when it was like three inches away from her, instead of stopping, it went right THROUGH HER!! As it went through her, Kim blacked out.
She was in a dark place. Empty of everything. But somehow, someone was speaking to her, not as a voice, but as just words, words.
They were all voices of her and her friends from her memories, all repeating events from the past!
“You think you all that, but your not!”
“Ron, drakken wasn’t trying to steal Christmas!!”
“Camp Wannaweep, my worst nightmare come true!”
“Game’s over Kimmy!”
“Say the word, make a call and dial me there, anytime anywhere!”
“Kim, you are a strong independent woman.”
“KP, life as we know it has changed forever, Naco night is no more!” “You really think there’s a guy out there for me?”
“Out there,……in here.”
Then after when all was silent, a bright white flash appeared and Kim was brought back to reality.
As Kim came back, she was still in the position she was in as she gasped. Here balance was off, gravity took a hold of her and she landed right on here buttocks.
Dazed and confused about what just happened, she shook her head to clear her senses.
“What the heck just happened?” she said as she turned to Ron. His face was full of fear and horror. His skin was white as a sheet and he was pointing at something with a shaking arm.
Kim looked to see where he was pointing. She saw a man, or at least she thought it was a man. She couldn’t see what it was because it was between windows where the moonlight couldn’t penetrate.
“Who are you?” she asked as she got up. Ron helped her up a little bit, but he still looked frightened.
The figure did not speak, all was just silent. Then out of nowhere, a person spoke, inside Kim’s mind. Ron could even here it too; it seemed to be coming from the figure.
“It is time,” the figure spoke from within their minds. Its voice was dark and chilling, which made Kim’s heart sink into her stomach.
They slowly started to back away from the figure, but before they even lifted one foot, two beams of red light appeared from the figures arms with a ZAAAAPPP!!!!!!
The figure turned around with lightening speed and flew at Kim and Ron.
With little time to react, “Kim, LOOK OUT!” Ron yelled at she pushed Kim out of the way. She staggered backwards and hit her head against a Greek pillar with a vase on it.
As she hit the pillar, the vase lost its balance and fell right on top of Kim’s head with a SMASH!! She then blacked out and lost consciousness.
Kim slowly began to wake up. Her head felt like as if it was hit by some type of truck. Her vision was slightly dazed. She shock here head to clear her senses again, then she felt something tugging at her arm.
As her vision recovered, she could see that it was Rufus. He was blabbering like crazy and had a look of worry on his face. He also was pointing at something. Kim then looked in the direction that he was pointing and saw a body of some kind. As her vision cleared, she could see that it was no ordinary body, it was RON!
“RON!!” she yelled. She then immediately got up and ran towards his body with Rufus right behind her.
As she kneeled down next to him, she put her hands to her mouth in horror. Ron was covered with deep wounds and scars all over his body. Blood was oozing out of them and created a puddle underneath him. On his face, he had a black eye and scars on his cheeks as though he was beaten by some type of animal!
He breathing was very shallow, almost faint, but he was barely alive.
“RON,” Kim yelled with tears emerging from her eyes, “ARE YOU OKAY, SPEAK TO ME!!!!!!”
Ron stirred for a moment and opened his blood-ridden eyes to Kim.
“Hey Kim,” he said calmly. His voice was weak, almost dead.
“Ron, what the heck happened to you?!!?!?!”
“He got me pretty hard,” he said, coughing a little bit.
“WHO?! Who got you?!?!”
“That weird black guy, he really got me hard, but at least you’re okay.”
Kim’s heart was racing in her chest. She forgot to bring a medical kit because they rarely use it on some missions! She then grabbed his arm and checked his pulse. It was faint and growing fainter!
“I’m gonna get you out of here Ron,” she said.
“Uh, its okay Kim, it’s a little late for that,” he said, with his voice growing fainter.
“Don’t say that!” she said, “I gonna help you.” She tore off a bit of her sleeves and tried to rap in around the wounds, but it was enough; he just had too many wounds and he had already had lost a lot of blood.
She felt helpless. The man that she loved so much as about to die in front of her face and there was nothing she could do to help him!
“Ron!” she yelled, placing her hand next to his face, “DON’T DO THIS TO ME, DON’T LEAVE ME! PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME!” Tears were running from her eyes like a fountain. Rufus was also beginning to cry next to Kim as he shook Ron’s arm.
Ron just coughed and opened one eye to Kim. “N….No big KP….I’ll always be there, no…matter what….” Then he let out one last cough.
“Kim…..I………l….love…….you……..” he stopped and shut his eyes.
He was gone.
Kim stared at him with teary eyes. “Ron?..........Ron?” she said, beginning to shake him. He would not answer.
“Ron?...............Ron?....................RON!!!!!!!!!” she yelled and cried.
“Nooo,” Rufus let out a small cry.
“NO RON, NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” she yelled, burying her face in his chest and pounding on it.
The man that she loved so much was no gone forever and she did nothing to save him. All those dreams of happiness she had dreamt of where now gone because of this!
She cried his name again, again, and again, but he would not answer.
She continued to cry for a long time, mourning for her loss. Then, something struck her mind. That black man! He did this to him!
She began to lift her head slowly and clenched her fists together, hard.
Rufus just stared at her in confusion and fright.
Hatred because to run through her veins as her blood boiled with anger! She clenched her teeth together so hard, that her gums bled. On her face, she had the look of extreme anger and hatred. If looks could kill, she could have grazed and entire city!
Only one thing was on her mind right now: REVENGE!!!!!!!
She immediately got stood up from where she was standing and whispered in hate, “I’m coming after you!”
Rufus just stared at her confused. Kim turned to him. “Rufus, keep an eye on Ron, no matter what!!” she pointed and ordered. Rufus made a nervous kind of salute towards her as she turned away.
“I’ve got some business I need to take care of!” and she ran down the hallway, leaving Ron and Rufus behind, waiting to avenge the death of the person she had loved most of all.
There you have it. The fifth Chapter. ;D
Tell me what you guys think. ;D
