Kim Possible: Morality's End - Wars & Peace - Part 1

It was about control.

That was the lie she had spun to bring things to their current stage. Her real reason for everything she had done thus far though, the lies she had told, the support she had faked, was much simpler. She wanted revenge…no she deserved it. After the defeat and humiliation of her past revenge was something that was owed to her, so she had spun her lie and made her alliance all so she could take it to its fullest. That was how it had began and now…now she was so close to the final stage, the final step in her revenge plan.

As the growing sunlight cut across the darkness and shined against her green skin she allowed herself a single smile. Soon, so very soon she could act and then the entire world would be hers to rule…alone.

Kim let her head thump softly against the surface of her desk. She could already feel the beginnings of a headache coming and the day had only just begun. Despite the grandiose of her intentions and the strength of her dedication it seemed that actually changing the world for the better was far more difficult then she had thought it would ever be. She had made so much progress, Global Justice was recognized across the globe as a savior, as a protector, as a force for good and change, and yet she still had so far to go. Thanks to certain bills and provisions Global Justice's power had grown over time until it was the recognized governmental body in many war torn or damaged countries but there were still so many left unchecked, so many that she still needed to control to really change the world.

Worse yet even with all she had done for the world its people were still sick, possessed by the same flawed unhappy and self destructive nature that had plagued them before she had come to power. If ever they were to change, if ever they were to be truly better she needed things to change faster. A better world bred better people and better people was what she wanted them so desperately to be. Everyday she read reports of robberies and murders and mayhem, things that weren't supposed to exist in her world, and everyday she was reminded how much more she still had to do. Sometimes it just seemed as if the world itself was fighting against getting better.

She was saved from further mental duress by the sound of her office door sliding open and then closed. She looked up with an annoyed glare at the unwanted interruption only to rescind it when she found it met with an amused look from Shego who strode bemusedly across the room and fell into a seat across the desk.

"Problems pumpkin?"

Seeing Shego always made Kim feel better and hearing the green skinned female spout off one of her many pet names only made her feel that much better.

She sighed as she spoke.

"Only the same ones as yesterday and the day before Shego. A bunch of blowhard senators are trying to oppose the latest national security revisions and the remnants of Peru's government are starting to complain that Global Justice is overstepping it's bounds by suspending their representative elections just because their country was devastated by those unexplained wildfires."

Shego gave a small chuckle as the mention of Peru's "unexplained" wildfires.

Kim waved her hands at the papers that littered her desk

"Meanwhile I'm still getting reports of riots breaking out in a handful of Russian countries, various religious groups threatening other religious groups with violence and just this morning I got calls from the heads of several small European countries complaining about country wide power fluctuations and wanting to know what we were doing to cause it."

Kim took a deep breathe and moved around her desk to stand closer to Shego.

"Why does it have to be this complicated Shego? All this day to day petty whininess I have deal with when the whole reason we came this far was to stop things like this, to change the world for the better. It was easier when we had someone we could punch Shego."

Shego gave a soft laugh.

"Well we could try that princess but I don't think they'll just line up for us."

Shego pulled Kim down onto her lap. Their relationship still was more or less a secret to the world, for all anyone knew Shego was just Kim's second in command, a former villain reformed and rededicated to helping the world. It wasn't a part she particularly enjoyed playing but she knew it was going to pay off in the end..

"I know it sucks princess, believe me if I told you half the stories I had about the idiot grunts that worked here you'd have fired everyone that wasn't you or me long ago but it's only going to be like this for so long. We've got to build up our base before we can really take over. Things will go a lot easier if they come to us begging then if we just forced our way into power."

Kim grumped softly but wrapped her arms around Shego's neck.

"I know, it's just…I miss the action. I miss the thrills of being in the field or skulking around in some air vent. I never really thought about all the paperwork and tiny minute details we'd have to deal with once we took over Global Justice. If I didn't have you…"

Kim trailed off and laid her head on Shego's shoulder.

Shego shuddered slightly as she felt Kim's warm breathe on her neck. Her first and second impulses were to lock the door and show the red head just what she had in her, but she knew that business always went before pleasure, no matter how much she wanted the pleasure first. She cleared her throat loudly and waited for Kim to look at her.

"I'll make you a deal princess, we get through today and you and I will go out tonight and have some fun."

Kim grinned mischievously.

"They just upgraded the security system at the Louver again, we could go…test it out for them."

Shego smiled slightly. She loved it when Kim gave in to her darker desires.

"Whoever grabs the highest valued item and gets out first wins princess. But that…"

She paused and shoved Kim off her lap and onto the floor as stood.

"won't be till tonight. For right now you've got work to do and I've got a new batch of grunts to put through the wringer."

Kim glared softly as she stood and rubbed her butt where she had landed. Love hurt. Still she had a reason to get through the day.

She moved back around her desk as she spoke

"Why did you come in here anyway Shego?"

Shego reached around behind herself and pulled a small file folder out from the waistband of her uniform. She tossed it across the room with an easy flick of her wrist and watched as it landed smoothly on the empty middle of Kim's desk.

"Latest tracking report on those communication bursts we keep picking up Princess. The nerds in communications are still having trouble tracing the signal back through all the cover static and bounce points before it breaks down but they said their phrase software is still picking up your name intermittently from inside the transmissions so they think it's likely coming from some terrorist group. They still have no idea what they might actually be saying though."

Kim frowned slightly. She never liked having to deal with all the more technical aspects of Global Justice. Though she could do a great many things, she never was able to grasp the world of computers on the same level that her brothers or father had. She understood the most of the science behind it and she knew enough to do some things here and there, but she had always left the truly technical stuff to other people.

She sighed and sat back down at her desk.

"We would have figured this out already if I still had Wade."

Shego scoffed slightly.

"Nerdlinger made his intentions clear Kim."

Kim nodded slightly if sadly. She had tried to contact Wade just after she had taken over Global Justice but he had seemingly vanished. His house was empty and no one at Global Justice had been able to locate him or his family despite months of searching. She had finally settled on the idea that Ron must have told him some lie and he abandoned her in fear of the same retribution that had finally caught up with Ron. She wouldn't have though…not to Wade. He had never been anything but a friend to her, he had even been there that day she had found out the truth…he had tried in his own way to cheer her up. If wasn't for him she would never have run into Shego that night long ago…without Wade she wouldn't be who she was, where she was, today. Still part of her couldn't help but feel betrayed that he had never came to her for the truth, that he had blindly accepted whatever lie Ron had told him and now spent his time hiding from her. It was only a small part of her that felt that though. The other part, the larger part, hoped nothing more then that wherever he was he was at least happy.

::An unknown location hours later::

Wade muttered softly to himself as clipped and joined various wires under his desk. The random power surges he had been experiencing were screwing up the cohesiveness of the communication signal between here and Yamanouchi and he hoped setting up a few redundant back up batteries would prevent anymore loss. He wrapped the last of the new connections in electrical tape and slid out from under his desk. He checked the clock behind him and gritted slightly. The extra work had cost him half an hour of the already to small communication window he had. He tapped a series of practiced key strokes and his monitors lit up, a single face shuddering and bending as it came into focus.

Wade smiled in a silent congratulations to himself as he noted the clarity of the image had been restored more then last week's. He still had mad skills despite everything that had happened.

The young but serious face that filled the monitors spoke before Wade had a chance to say anything.

"Wade-san it is a pleasure to see that you remain safe despite being so close to the demon's nest."

Wade rubbed the scruff that had begun growing on his upper neck as he choose his words. Gone was the smooth skin he had only months ago, gone in fact was many of youthful features he once had. Instead his face now bore the appearance of someone who slept far to little and carried far to much of the world on his shoulders. Yori for her part somehow managed to retain her beauty but it now was worn on a face that seemed to have forgotten how to smile, a face that seemed far older and far less joyous then it should have been.

"I told you that you don't have to worry about me Yori. Global Justice is still slow and obvious enough that I'm long gone before they even know where I'm coming from. Is everything still safe there?"

Yori nodded

"Yes, but I fear it will not be forever and we still have a long time before she is ready."

"Is she still working with Rufus?"

Yori spared a glanced behind her and then turned back.

"Yes and he has taught her a great deal, but you know as well as I do that he can only teach her so much, she needs a real master."

Wade grimaced. The same argument they had been having for weeks was about to begin yet again.

"Sensei has passed on Wade-san and Stoppable-san…"

Yori's eyes watered slightly and Wade noticed the pain that still haunted them whenever that name was mentioned. He knew she blamed herself for his death as improbable as that was. She swallowed softly and continued.

"Stoppable-san is also gone. There is no one else that can teach her."

Wade took a deep breathe and tried to respond with a calm tone.

"I know that Yori but we do not even know if he is alive. Even if he is alive how could you ever trust him? The things he's done…"

Yori cut him off with a harsh tone.

"Do you not think that I know that? Do you not think that if there was anyone else, anyone, that we would ask you for him? Even thinking of that man makes my skin crawl but Kim Possible has left us with no other option."

Wade hung his head slightly, chastised but still resistant.

"Look I know how much you need him but I had hoped Rufus could fill in. If we let ourselves start going down that road…"

Yori shook her head.

"As I said, Rufus-san has taught her more then any of us could, but he does not have the training nor the mastery of his abilities that she truly needs. Please Wade-san, find him or else we may find out last hope lost."

Wade sighed softly and nodded.

"I'll try and find him, if only because Kim has to be stopped."

Yori bristled ever so noticeably at the mention of that name.

"We hear of her deeds even in our secluded mountains. Does her power still grow unchecked? Has no one stood up to her yet?"

Wade shook his head.

"No one can do anything Yori, she has most of the world convinced she is a saint. Everyday she manages to find someway to control another country and everyday someone who opposed her suddenly changes their mind or vanishes mysteriously. Either no one can really see it or no one wants to admit what she is really doing and so long as no one is complaining no one is going to try and stop her."

"Is there nothing you can do Wade-son?"

"I have tried Yori. Every scrap of record I can find, every instance of a law broken, anything that could help us I collect and send to people all around the world, people who might be able to help us, and no one has done anything. They are either afraid or she has already gotten to them."

Wade tone went soft.

"We're losing. As long as the world thinks Global Justice is helping it it's never going to want to sit up and take notice of what's really going on…not until it's to late. We have to face the fact that we may be it."

Yori nodded determined.

"Then we will just have to work harder Wade-san. Stoppable…Ron-san will be avenged, I have sworn that on my life as has every person here."

Wade smiled. He was grateful that he was not going it alone. As he was about to speak a small alarm beeped and he grimaced once more.

"Yori our time is up. Global Justice will be able to track the signal back to one of us if we stay connected any longer. I will contact you again when I can."

Yori nodded.

"Find him Wade-son"

Wade gave no reply as he quickly cut the connection. He sighed inwardly and launched several masking programs that would change all the identifiable codes and addresses of his system. He knew Yori was right but it didn't mean he agreed. Playing with fire would only end up burning them in the end no matter how many precautions they took.

Resigned, he tapped a few more keys and brought up a search window. The truth was he didn't really have a choice in the matter no matter how hard he argued, Yori needed him and that was effectively the end of the argument. They were at war and they didn't have time to endlessly debate the pros and cons of every action, not if they ever wanted to stop Kim.

The freshly burnt field still smoked slightly, the remnants of untouched grass that outlined the damage serving as the only true tell of the fire's intent.

She smiled as she surveyed the work from on high. It was a small step in the final stage of the plan but when all were completed it would serve notice of her intent, notice that it had begun.

Payback…revenge…control…no matter what she called it it all led to only one end.

Victory.
