Kim Possible: A Beautiful Death

Grip on Reality

"You and Stoppable, hold the key to your world's survival."

"But why us? We're just two teenagers." Kim questioned. "Have you forgotten you are the sole reason the world is the way it is?" He looked back at Kim. She actually felt sort of flattered. But to her it was no big.

"And have you forgotten that you possess the powers of the Mystic Monkey?" He leaned in, and spoke way to close to Ron's face.

Ew, breath mint dude. Ron thought as his words basically went directly into Ron's nostrils. "No mere mortal could stop the Reaver. I still don't understand how two super-powerless teenagers from a small town in the United States, can stop something this powerful. Why not someone smart like Drakken, or someone with actual powers like Shego?" Kim ranted out of nowhere, shocking even Ron.

"Children... so naïve."

"Okay I'm sorry, but we like just met you, dude. Who are you, and how do we know you're not setting us up for a trap?" Ron finally asked, being made of questions at the moment. The sprint sighed, and levitated lower to be even with the teens.

"I was once one of the elders of these temples. We worshipped the Reaver like it was a god. Only to find out, we just gave in to it's tricks. It promised us faith, fortune, and peace. But once it got what it wanted, it destroyed our villages. Our homes, what are now these ancient ruins. We came to the conclusion that the only way to stop this unearthly creature, was by sealing it in an unbreakable tomb. Forever trapped in this temple... until 1864, that is." He stopped. That's when Kim put the pieces together.

"The explorers that Dr. Director showed us!" Ron said loudly in amazement.

"The very same. Those fools found a way to trip our chamber's protection defenses. But what the didn't know, was one of defenses was terribly crafted. A boulder—the size of gorilla— collapsed onto the tomb." He pointed back at the black fire.

"What should have stopped intruders completely, ended up cracking the Reavers tomb. And now it seems he's finally found his way out."

"So the hot glowing green light... was his escape?" Kim asked. "Not exactly. The green light is his life source. He was sucking the life out of the roots of trees and other plant life." He replied. "Oh. Super. He can drain life. Well isn't that just perfect." Ron complained, silently shaking in fear. Kim gazed at him, then back at the spirit.

"So how do we stop it?"

"There is no clear solution. But, you must hear my warning:
To defeat the godlike creature, as sacrifice must be made." He said darkly.

Sacrifice. That was the only word that struck Kim. She once again revisioned her nightmare, seeing Ron dying right in front of her. As she stood still—frozen by fear— Ron saw a tear make its way out of the bottom of her eye. "No.." She said with a choked voice.

Breaking out of her frozen state, she turned around, and ran back into the hallway. "KP?" Ron questioned, as he saw her from the corner of his eye. That's when he saw her already a third-of-the-way down the passage. "KP!" He yelled, running after her.

"Good luck, children. The fate of the world is in your hands." And with that, the bony specter disappeared.

I can't do this. I can't do this. Kim thought over and over again, as she ran back out, into the forest filled wilderness. Tears fell like boulders, as she rushed off. She could hear Ron calling her name, but she didn't stop. She couldn't stop. She wanted as far away from the temple as possible. "KP! Where are you going!" She heard Ron yelling at a tone he never usually uses.

She never once looked back, not even realizing Ron almost caught up to her with ease. He then grabbed her wrist, stopping her in her own tracks. "Kim! What the hell is going on!" He finally yelled at her, starting to lose his patience. She could say anything but blubber. Without warning, she then gripped onto his person as tight as possible, putting him in shock.

"I-I.." She kept saying, but never ending her sentence. He wrapped his arms around her, and plopped down against a tree. "Pull it together, KP. Why did you storm out of there? What did you see?" He began to worry that she had another vision. One worse than before. "R-Ron... I can't do it, I just can't d-do it!" She continued to sob into his chest. "I can't lose you... to s-save the world.." For the first time in his life, Ron Stoppable had no idea what to say.
He just held her tight.

"Kim, what I wanted to say last night... no matter what happens.. I l—
He stopped. As did Kim. They both heard something. They looked at each other, then back into the distance. They felt the ground shaking again, but something was different this time. Something was worse. The cracks that were quaked into the ground, began to glow with a bright red aura. Steam was burning through, as they saw shadows in the bright aura.

"Kim... w-was this in your dream..?" Ron asked, both of them standing up. Kim had already stopped sobbing—for the moment anyway— and was staring directly at the same sight as her BFBF. "No... not it wasn't." She answered back, awestruck.

From the cracks, a hand reached up, and grabbed the edge of the deep crack. It's skin was glowing red, unable to tell if it was humanlike or... barbaric. Then out reached another arm. And another. And another. And another. Creatures by the dozens were pouring out of the ground like a flood.

"Oh."
"My."
"God."
They both finished simultaneously. The heads of the creatures stuck out, now completely crawling from the ground. They bared more resemblance to humans, but with creatures aspects to them. Some, even horns.

"We have to go. Now!" Ron yelled, as they both skittered to run off. They felt rumbling behind them, instantly knowing there were some beginning to chase after them.

Dr. Director was nearly passed out in the copilot seat, beginning to drift into a sleepy wonderland. Her seat laid back, still at an obtuse angle. She knew the pilot didn't need her. Besides, with the day she was having, she practically needed a nap. Right as she was about to fall into her own sleepy mind, she was startled by a loud beeping sound.

She quickly sat back up, and looked at the radio in front of her. The red light was blinking, meaning someone was calling them. She picked up the radio, and help the button down to talk.

"Director." She spoke.

"We need you to swing around! NOW!" She heard a high pitched teenage voice. She had to pull it away from her ear as the screaming voice made her jump and flinch.

"Ms. Possible, I thought I made it clear this is a secure line."

"Turn it around! Fucking turn it around!" She heard Stoppable's voice. "Team Possible, we have set up a time and location for your
extrac—

"Cut the shit Director! There are monsters chasing us! Come get us NOW!" Kim screamed, now out of breath.

"I-I'm Sorry... did you just say monsters?"
She said, then looked at the pilot. They both had the same puzzled expressed on their faces. She then nodded at him, signaling him to turn completely around.
