Kim Possible: A Beautiful Death

War for Earth

The teenage duo ran to the edge of the wall, sneaking around the corner. Almost the entire interior of the building was destroyed by the still-burning sun beam. There was a massive smoking hole in the center, still growing bigger by the second. The room Kim and Ron stood in, was clear of the blast. The windows and walls were broken through and shattered, shining the bright grey sky into the room.

The teen easily turned the corner, to see one last flight of stairs. She knew this staircase would lead directly to the roof, considering they were on the last floor. Before making her way to the staircase, she easily walked over to the broken window, and peaked through. She looked down at all the fighting on the streets, watching the people take a stand. But Ron noticed, she was staring too long.

"KP..?" He questions, turning away from the stairs. She continued to look down, now beginning to clench her fist. He knew what she was thinking. Or relatively close to it, anyway.

"Kim... listen—

"Look at them. All these people. Fighting just so they can live normal lives again." She said, with a darker drop in her tone. "And they're doing it all... to help us. Two teenagers from an ordinary suburb. They're risking everything in their lives to reassure they made it this far." She stopped, and turned to look back at Ron. "What if we end up letting them down, Ron?" Her expression began to scare him. What triggered this in her? This isn't his Kim Possible.

"KP... look at me." Ron briefly said, easily grabbing her bruised shoulders. She looked up at him, half eyed with sadness. "This right here... is our last and only chance. I'm not going to tell you everything is alright by lying to you. I mean, look." He pointed back down to the city. "Every person we love is fighting for their life. And here we are, about to face an ancient entity that we had no idea existed a week ago. Absolutely nothing about this is normal to us." He slightly chuckled to relieve some of the aggression.

"But right now, we have to go out there. And we have to keep this spooky thing from destroying the earth. We do this, so one day we can wake up, not ever having to worry about if the Reaver has found us. And at the end of the day we can leave work—and we get to go home." He finally stopped, and slowly placed his hand on her cheek. He then brushed some of her damp, snow covered hair out of the way.
"Even if it means we lose our lives today.." He sighed, locking his eyes with hers. 

Her now wide eyes, gazed into the browns of his. Then, she noticed him began to start glowing red. "Ron..?" Kim questioned, regathering his attention. He knew she was referring to his burning cheeks.

"KP there's... there's something I've been meaning to tell you for a while now. Every time I've tried to tell you this week, there's been a way to cut us off somehow. And.. if I don't do it now, I-I may regret it later.." He stuttered, knowing there's a very big possibility of one of them dying today. She slowly grabbed his hands from her shoulders, and brought them down to her waist, where she locked her fingers with his. Her face now beginning to glow as red as his.

He took a deep breath, trying to ease his new nerves. He has more nerves about talking to his girlfriend, than he did about walking head first into his almost-inevitable death.

"Kim... I.. uh." He frozen, his hands shaking in Kim's. "I-I love—

He was cut off, once again. But this time, it was by Kim's lips. She held herself against him, and embraced her lips with his, closing their eyes as they enjoyed the moment. She slowly eased off of him, and finally looked him in the eye.

"I know Ron... and I love you too." Her soft voice finally spoke. His first reaction, was shock. Followed by the easing of his nerves, and a smile finally crawling on his face. But, their sweet moment was cut short. The building began to shake, dropping snow and small ruble on the floor below their feet. It wasn't rough enough to take them to the ground, they were able to stand their ground. Still holding hands, they turned to look at the staircase that lead to their ultimate enemy.
