Monkey Adventures 6: Monkey Cupid

Monty/Shego, Will/Bonnie, Drakken/Betty, Ron/Yori, Fukushima/Monique, Josh/Tara, Hirotaka/Amelia
I don't own anything except Takashi and anything else you don't recognize.
Chapter 1: Thoughts
Shego sighed; she was lounging about on the couch. It had been a rough couple of days, what with meeting their other world counterparts, emotional distress, the truth revealed to her oldest brother, destroying a monster, getting hurt and the dimensions almost collapsing. Her counterpart had really gotten under her skin. She sighed and didn't notice Monty come in.
Monty looked at his lover and mused on the things revealed about them from the prophecy and the tapestry. It was all so shocking and unnerving, he was lucky that he and Shego didn't have to do it alone though. They had Drakken, Killigan, Fukushima and Yori along with their families and friends. He didn't know when it would happen and he didn't know how it would happen but when it did, they would be ready, he knew it. He silently crossed over to Shego and gently started to massage her tense shoulders. She barely turned her head and just let him work his magic while sighing in contentment.
*"Watashi wa anata watashi no tenshi o aishi," he said, nuzzling into her neck.
**"Mmm, watashi mo anata o aishite Monty," she said, enjoying the attention she was receiving from her lover.

Drakken concentrated and then let loose his leaves, trying to get them to slash like a blade, in a straight line. He almost got himself badly cut as it was straight for halfway before he lost control. He sighed; bet his counterpart never had this problem. He still couldn't get over the fact that his counter was married to Shego's counter…yuck, well, for him it was yuck, honestly, he was old enough to be Shego's father. Not to mention that Jack wanted him to become his apprentice, to take over HenchCo in case something happened to him. Well, he had been working for HenchCo for as long as it had been around and he knew it as well as Jack did, it made sense that Jack would choose him. It would also get him closer to Betty… He shook his head and decided to try his new attack again.

Killigan yawned and settled down for a nap in the shade of the balcony, unlike the others, he didn't think too much of what had happened, apart from disagreeing about Monkey Fist's and Shego's relationship he and his counter had been fine. The prophecy though, that was another kettle of fish but he supposed that time would tell what would happen. When it did he'd be ready for it.

Yori and Fukushima were sparing and each had their own thoughts on what had happened. Yori was neutral, she would follow her master and mistress and she would help them defeat the evil ones the prophecy had spoken about, Kim Possible and the Cursed Dark One. She had liked Kim Possible for Stoppable San's sake at first and then genuinely and there was a time when she might have been able to call her a friend but her jealousy and controlling nature got the best of her. Now she was making Stoppable san unhappy with her new ways and Yori was confused over her feelings for Stoppable san and for Hirotaka.
Hirotaka, she didn't know what she felt for him. Once, she thought she loved him but his leading her down the dark path, almost causing her to betray her Master and her cousin and his declaring that she was no longer his lover, that she was a traitor, both hurt, a lot. He had broken her heart. She had become his lover when she'd seen him kill an animal with much more cruelty then was not necessary, she had tried to warm his heart but he had ended up almost blackening hers. She shivered, it had not been wise to get close to Hirotaka when he was cursed and back then he could turn the most noble-hearted person dark. She had almost lost her honor thanks to him. She knew that he felt something for her but she was confused and so was he, they agreed to mend their friendship first but she suspected that that was what they'd ever be, friends.
She then thought of Stoppable san, he was different from anyone she'd ever met before. He made her feel things, things that she thought that she'd felt when with Hirotaka but those things then were a lie. Stoppable san, she'd thought he was the Ultimate Monkey Master, a true hero. Now, she knew the truth and he may not have been the Ultimate Monkey Master but it did not stop Stoppable san from being a true hero. She liked him but as she was still so confused over her tumulus feelings she was not sure if she just liked him or like liked him. Perhaps she should speak to her lady about her feelings.

Fukushima was another who was very confused, having seen his counterpart have such a good relationship with Hiro's counterpart had brought out mixed feelings in him. Hirotaka was no longer cursed, so he no longer wanted to kill him. Hirotaka had even apologized to him, so it made sense to try and become friends. Yet Hirotaka, who felt terrible about what he'd done, did not want friendship, not yet. He was wondering if it was too late to be friends, was it or was it not. Could such a thing even happen? He was just so confused. He would need to speak to his father and perhaps his mother about his feelings and worries.

In Middleton Ron Stoppable sighed as he sorted through all the family photo albums, a task his mom had given him. He couldn't help but think of what had happened in the past few days. Meeting his counterpart and seeing how Kim was her normal, nice self was tough. He'd learnt a lot of things and he couldn't believe that the man who was once his arch-foe and the woman who used to fight Kim on a regular basis were going to legally rule the world and save it too. Talk about irony. He sighed again and looked through the album he was holding, it had his mom in it as a teenager and in one photo she was holding a baby boy. As Ron kept on looking he came across a photo of his mom in front of a very familiar castle with her arm around the boy who looked to be around ten years old and he also looked very familiar… There was no doubt about it, even without the monkey hands and feet he was still recognizable as Monty Fiske, that black hair and those blue eyes were unmistakable. Ron looked stunned, what was his mom doing with a young Monkey Fist? He had to check this out.
"Hey, mom," he called.
"Are you finished yet Ron?" she asked.
"No but I wanted to ask you about this picture I found, this boy, who is he?" asked Ron, showing her the picture. He hoped that he was wrong and that it was just a coincidence.
"…His name is Monty Fiske, he's my nephew. I left England when his father, my older brother died. It was Monty's fault, it was his entire fault. I've never forgiven him and until today, I've never given him a second thought," said Marcy coldly, looking at the picture in distaste.
"Oh, ok, but why didn't you tell me I had a cousin or any of this?" asked Ron, something wasn't right with his mom's story, there seemed to be more to it that what she said.
"This is my way of telling you. Now please finish sorting those albums and take care of Hana. I'm going out for while." As she left she muttered, "I don't know why Hana won't call me mama or Joe, dada," this displeased her and Ron winced, he'd hate to see his mom's reaction if anyone told her that Hana called only Monkey Fist and Shego 'dada' and 'mama.'
Once he heard the front door slam and the car back out of the driveway he rushed to the phone, he had to know the truth.
Thousands of miles away the phone rang in Fiske Castle. "Hello, Monty Fiske speaking," said Monkey Fist.
"Um, hey, it's me," said Ron.
"Ronald? Well, this is a surprise…what can I do for you? Do you want to speak to Yori?" asked Monkey Fist.
"Uh, that would be nice but no, it's actually you I need to speak to, it's about a picture I found in my mom's photo album…It had you and my mom in it…in front of the castle, please explain," said Ron.
Monkey Fist was silent for a long time.
"Hello, Monkey Fist, you still there?" asked Ron.
"Yes, yes Ronald. I'm…now, listen, this isn't a conversation for the phone, why don't I come over to your place and we can talk about this, it's a conversation that needs to be done face to face," said Monkey Fist.
"Ok, you're in luck; my parents are both out for while. I'll see you soon," said Ron.
"Yes, soon," and he put the phone down. Monty then dragged himself to the lounge where everyone was now and sat down in his favorite chair and groaned, putting his head in his hands.
"Monty, what's wrong?" asked Shego.
"Ronald has found a picture of me and Marcy in a photo album and is asking questions. I have no choice but to tell him the truth," he said and everyone cringed, this wasn't good.
"Well, I guess we're going on a field trip then," said Shego.
"Oh, this is going to be fun," said Drakken.
A little bit later everyone was prepared to leave, everyone was traveling in Killigan's blimp, but Monkey Fist and Shego were traveling on Golden Jet Cloud. The blimp was the biggest piece of transportation they had and everyone was coming, Nanny Main, Drakken, Killigan, Yori, Fukushima and Takashi and all twenty six of Monkey Fist's Monkey Ninja's plus Chippy and Kiki's pup, Tango, who would be given to Shego when she was old enough. Both blimp and cloud flew through the air at high speed; Monkey Fist was determined to get to Ron's house before the day ended.

Kim was frowning at she remembered what had happened at Fiske Castle a few days ago, her counter was as naïve and as nice as she'd once been. She knew better, the world was a terrible and cruel place and the only way to make it better was to destroy all those who were evil, like Shego, Monkey Fist, Drakken, Killigan and all the other villains and any who sympathized with them deserved death as well, she may let Ron live though, she did need a scapegoat and a distraction, he fit the part perfectly. She still didn't know why he was lying about not being the Monkey Master, oh well, it was a good thing he had her to set him straight and to tell him what to do like always. As for that prophecy, she didn't believe in that sort of nonsense, no villain would ever rule the world; the world needed someone like her to rule it. Hmm, Queen Kim, it had a very nice ring to it.

Bonnie, Monique, Zita, Josh, Felix, Tara, Jim, Tim and Wade sat in a booth at Bueno Nacho and listened to William recount what had happened at the castle.
"So, they're going to rule, as stated by some Gods, after they save the world from this Cursed Dark One, Kim and some nutty lady you don't know? Is that what you're saying?" asked Tara.
"Yes Tara, I know it's hard to believe but it's true, ugh, my other self was so…obnoxious and stuck up, even when off duty. I'm glad I don't have to deal with him anymore," said Will, his hand on top of Bonnie's.
"These are the guys who try and take over the world on a daily basis, they're going to save it?" asked Felix doubtfully.
"Uncle Drew and Shego helped save the world against the Lorwardians and I can tell that every villain in that castle is going through a major personality change, they're becoming who they should have been all the time. Trust me, I've been around enough bad guys to know what I'm talking about," said Will.
"Boy, if this is joke you are so gonna get it," said Monique.
"What's happening to Kim that's making her so…different?" asked Josh. Every one of them had noticed the change in Kim and not one of them liked it and they tried to stay away from her as best they could. Jim and Tim looked concerned, Kim was their sister and to hear that she was going to try and destroy the world wasn't good.
"I'm not sure, we didn't find that out," said Will.
"Do you think those Lorwardians like did something to her on their spaceship?" asked Bonnie.
"Hmm, could be. I could ask Uncle Drew if anything happened," said Will and got out his cell phone, dialing a very familiar number.

Hirotaka sat on top of his bed at Middleton Lodge, thinking about what had happened at Monkey Fist's castle. He'd gone there to kill Fukushima. Instead his life had been spared in more ways than one. The British Lord had set him free from his curse; he was free to make his own choices now. He wanted to make up with Yori but he didn't have feelings for her, she was pretty but he felt nothing for her other than familiarity, he could not feel friendship for he didn't deserve to feel it. She and the others, he would have to win their trust and friendship, perhaps Ron Stoppable could help but where would he be at this time of day? Hirotaka got up and left the lodge.

Hero sat in GO Tower by himself, his brothers were at home, the house they had bought and they called that home instead of calling GO Tower home. He didn't understand; why did none of his family want to be heroes apart from him? The twins listened to Merrick and Sheena more than they did to him, they'd been right; he'd been there for them only as a hero, not as a brother. Merrick was right; he had been pushing his values on his little sister but why did she have to take the path of evil? Was she evil anymore anyway? She was going to save the world and then she was going to rule it with her boyfriend, Hero supposed that by that time they would be married…he pushed that thought away, his baby sister, married? No, push it away, push it away, Lord Fiske hadn't come to ask for his permission yet, so there was still time to wrap his head around that idea. He frowned as he thought of how he'd been lied to for five years but…he could see his siblings points, he would have dragged Sheena back here and it would have crushed her spirit…It was over, he decided, if he wanted a good relationship with his sister or a relationship better than it was, then he'd have to start considering her feelings, her hopes and dreams. He sighed, mending their bond was going to be tough, mending his bond with his brothers was going to be tough but he was Hego, a hero, he could…no, that was what his siblings disliked about him. He wasn't Hego, he was Hero and he would be a brother, not a hero to his family. It was time to change, to clean up his act and be a brother that his siblings wanted to be around. He would do it.

Betty sighed, the past couple of days had been hectic and discovering that she was married to Jack Hench and that Will was their son was still mind blowing. It didn't change her feelings for Drew though. She wondered if their counterparts were ok and then she wondered what Drew was doing right now. Her cell phone rang, "Hello," she said.
"Hello Betty, it's Jack," he said.
"Jack, what's the problem?" asked Betty.
"N problem, just that your boyfriend is coming to town for some reason, thought you might want to see him," he said teasingly.
"He's not my boyfriend! Where is he?" she yelled and asked.
"He's outside of Middleton, in Duff's blimp, I only know this because Will called Drew earlier to ask him a question. Since Drew was on his way, he said that he would answer Will's question when he got there. Just thought I'd let you know," said Jack.
"Thank you Jack, good bye," said Betty.
"Good bye," said Jack and they both hung up. Betty looked at her schedule, hmmm, she was free all day, she smiled; it was time for a day off in Middleton.

Just outside of Middleton a blimp landed and a golden cloud hovered above it. "So, wha' do we do now?" asked Killigan.
"Do whatever you want as long as it doesn't cause trouble. Shego and I are going to speak with Ronald," said Monkey Fist.
"Good luck," said Drakken.
"Thanks, I'm going to need it," said Monkey Fist. He and Sheena were about to take off when his mother spoke.
"Monty, wait," she said.
"What is it mother?"
"I'm coming too, Ronald is my nephew and I want to start making amends, there was never any time in the past few days to do so," she said.
"Very well, Jet Cloud can hold three of us," and he helped his mother onto the cloud and the three of them zoomed off to Ron's house.
"Now what do we do?" asked Yori.
"We could…explore?" asked Fukushima.
"Let's get going then, but met back here later, around seven," said Drakken; he had to get to Bueno Nacho. They all agreed and wandered off to do their own thing, not knowing that soon they would be caught up in the middle of another adventure, and this one would be emotional for a lot of them.
