Ron Stoppable: Thou Shall Not Kill
By: MouseKappaSig (A.K.A. Joe Dave)
The mission had gone sour just under an hour ago but the brown eyed freckled blond still wasn't ready to give up. In his arms was the reason he kept going, a beautiful red head whom the angels named Kim Possible, but now she wasn't looking too hot. Her hair was matted and sticky from a long and deep cut that ran across the top of her head and right eye oozing blood. Her left arm hung at a unnatural angle and made several turns where along the way. As far as the blond could tell Kim's arm was destroyed. Her olive cargos were beyond ruined and she sported several third degree burns, and several deep gouges along both her legs and abdomen. The ground shook as the blond was brought out of his analysis of Kim causing him to curse something about a bomb. "DAMN IT," Ron spat tossing Kim over his shoulder, "SORRY KP BUT WE GOT TO JET," he finished, pumping his legs as hard and fast as he could as the doors slid open again.
Ron, strapped into his seat at the front of the Black Hawk chopper, looked over his shoulder at the field medic attending to Kim's wounds. He couldn't remember when if ever he had seen Kim hurt this bad. She had passed out about the time they managed to clear the blast zone and reached the chopper. Since then she hadn't made a sound, and Ron was getting extremely vexed by the whole situation. The medic had told him to get back, not allowing him to be near her, and to top it all off the people that had done this to her had gotten away in that accursed rocket. Ron turned back around to look forward at the desolate looking view of the Pacific Ocean. His own injuries were minor, a cut here , a burn there, nothing a bottle of rubbing alcohol wouldn't cure in a few days, and he cursed himself for not coming with Kim when Wade had told then about the sitch. "All because of the Sabbath..." he mumbled to himself. His eyes watered as he thought of what might have happened if he had not shown up and of what he might have done to prevent what was now his reality. Ron shut his eyes desperate not to let the marines see the tears that were beginning to form there, and remembered how it had all come to this moment.
"RON...come on you are NOT going to the prom with me dressed in a tux that's older than both of us combined," Kim commanded as she dragged him into Club Banana's men's wear.
But...but...Kim...why do I have to come along on this shopping trip?
"One...because you have to try the blasted thing on. Two...because you have been promising to go shopping with me for over a month, and three..." Kim glared, "if you don't then your not getting so much as another hug from me until you turn 50."
"B-but...that...that's not even fair," said the blond dejectedly. But he followed her order and marched into the dressing room with his tux in hand.
"There, was that so hard?" Kim asked as Ron spun around showing off the tux to her. "Now get dressed and if you don't complain about the rest of the shopping then we'll go get Bueno Nacho, my treat"
With that the blond's mouth closed and he ran back into the changing room. Moments later he had returned and the two were on their way to the Mexican oasis.
The chopper bumped from some turbulence bringing Ron out of his thoughts, looking back at Kim who was stabilized but still out, He went back to his thoughts.
Kim had indeed delivered, Ron's tray was overflowing with all his favorites, nacos, tacos, nachos, and God only knew what else. All of which the boy was devouring like it was nothing but air. Kim had sat beside him and beginning to wonder if she had made a mistake as Rufus shot out of Ron's pocket and landed in the cheese splattering it all over the booth, Ron, and her.
RUFUS! Kim shouted.
The rodent stopped at the sound of his name being yelled and looked up at a very distraught looking teen who was pulling Taco bits from her hair and shirt.
"Rufus, if your gonna eat like that at least warn me next time," Kim said finishing the cleaning of her hair.
"Oh Kim you know he was just excited," laughed Ron
"Yeah well next time im gonna see if Wade needs any 'guinea pigs' for his next invention."
"She's only pulling you leg little buddy" Ron laughed at the cowering rodent, "weren't you Kim"
Kim laughed at the sight of Rufus cowering in fear of her, "yeah, im kidding," she said patting the mole rat on the head who squeaked something Kim thought to be along the lines of , "NOT FUNNY."
The teens finished their meals and decided to go see a movie when a familiar four beep tune rang out from Kim's pocket. Thumbing the switch on Kim beamed , "what's the sitch, Wade?"to the heavy set boy on the screen.
Not much Kim, unless you count Drakken breaking into a Smarty Mart in Upperton and stealing $900,000 worth of electronics," replied the boy.
"Any ideas what he might be doing with...did you say...Smarty Mart?"
"Yeah Drakken took all of the computers and vid games he could carry"
"What could he be doing with all of that?" questioned Kim.
"Not sure...but I'll keep you posted"
"Please and thank you."
Kim shut off the Kimmunicator and looked at Ron who looked at her with that stupid grin he always had on.
"What do you think he's up to KP?" asked Ron
I honestly have no clue Ron. But knowing Drakken it shouldn't be very hard to crack open. In the mean time...how bout that movie? We can see that 3-D movie, what was it Shark Boi and Lava brat.
Kp that movie looks like it sucks nine kinds of ass, why do you want to see that one?
Kim stared at him in amusement, "because silly it will be the only one with noone in it," she whispered to him before pulling him into a kiss.
"OH!" cried Ron as comprehension dawned on his face.
The movie was over far too soon for either of the teens taste but it was over none the less. As the credits ended and the lights came back on the two stood and slipped out the door into the parking lot and onto Ron's Ninja. With one quick last kiss Ron started the bike and revving the engine shot out of the parking lot and down the road towards Kim's house. Even though it was a Friday Ron was determined to get Kim home before her curfew lest he be on the receiving end of a one way trip to his own personal black hole, as Kim's father had put it. It also didn't help that the Sabbath was tomorrow and he would not be able to do anything else other than go to Temple early that morning. The bike pulled into the Possible driveway and Ron walked Kim to the door, gave her a goodnight kiss that didn't last long enough in Ron's opinion, and wished her a goodnight. With that Kim walked into her home and Ron returned to his bike and went home.
That had been last night Ron thought as he checked on Kim's still form in the back of the chopper. She was looking bad her breathing was shallow but at least she was breathing he sighed. At any rate Ron could see the LZ and the ambulance that waited to take Kim to the Medical center on the Pearl Harbor Naval Base.
No sooner had the chopper touched down than Kim was transferred to the ambulance and rushed to the med center and Ron was being given the once over by the remaining medical officers. They finally left him alone when he assured them that he was fine and they had verified his claims with a quick check of his vitals. Finally he was allowed to leave and he caught a ride to the med center with the returning MO's. He had to make sure Kim was going to be ok, even though everyone assured him that she would survive, he had to make sure for himself.
Ron watched Kim's surgery through the trainee observation window as the doctors set Kim's arm and stitch up her various cuts. The burns, thank God, had not been too severe so they would only need minimal treatment. But Ron knew that they would be giving Kim as much or more trouble than the cuts or her arm when it came down to shear pain. The doctors had stopped what internal bleeding they had found and within a few hours Kim was in the recovery room with her "new friend" Morphine. Ron was allowed in and told to allow her to sleep. He had called Kim's parents and after explaining what he knew sat down at Kim's bedside to wait for her to wake up. The beeping of the heart monitor and the cool air conditioning combined with his own exhaustion and Kim's breathing threatened to lull Ron to sleep and fight it as he did he was soon asleep.
"WHAT! WHY DID SHE GO OFF WITH OUT ME!"cried Ron as he ran around his room getting into his mission clothes.
"She said that she wanted you to have a quiet Sabbath and not have to break your tradition again," answered the video feed of Wade on Ron's computer. "You know that whole resting on the seventh day thing."
"I know...but she knows that there are exceptions on that rule. And she knows how I feel about her running off on some mission by herself."
"Chill Ron, I'm tracking her right now. She's perfectly fine," said the boy as he pulled up a smaller screen showing a blinking red dot that represented Kim's location. "See, she hasn't even broken a sweat" he continued as another window sprang up with Kim's vital signs displayed on it.
"Oh Ok. So she's fine now, I'm still going so can you get me a ride?"
"Yeah Ron...I figured you would so I got your ride already prepped. It'll be at your front yard in 40 seconds."
Thanks Wade. And Kim's right you rock.
"Thanks for the approval," laughed Wade as he blinked off the screen of Ron's computer.
Ron rushed outside just in time to see a Black Hawk chopper land in the middle of his front yard. He climbed aboard and strapped in as the pilot returned to the air and sped off into the night towards a small Island 100 miles off the coast of Hawaii. The Ride was pretty uneventful even though the pilot tried to figure out who his young passenger was but the closest he got was Don Touchable before Ron shut off his radio to the man fed up with no one being able to remember his name. About 2 hours later Ron was fast roping down onto a black sand beach of a tiny volcanic island. Throwing the pilot a signal Ron started to the small concrete building at the islands center. He hadn't heard the message the pilot had tried relay him from Wade.
Ron entered the seemingly deserted building and started towards the control room Wade had shown him in the plans earlier. The empty halls were unsettling he thought to himself. He should have run into at least one patrol group if nothing else but for some reason the entire facility was deserted and by the looks of it in a hurry.
"Good to see you again...wait what's his name again shego?"echoed Drakken's voice from the PA system.
"I thought you just liked calling him Buffoon," replied the bored voice of Shego.
"Oh for the love of God will you two just shut up. Its Stoppable," chimed in the voice of Monkey Fist. "Now get on with it Drakken."
"Alright keep you robe on Fist,"snapped Drakken, "well mister...Toppable...was it, oh it doesn't matter. You should know that your Kim Possible is dying to see you...literally. You see buffoon I've grown tired of your and miss Possible's constant interfering and as such I have eliminated the part of the part of the team that can actually stop my plans of world domination. So with her out of the way you will be o f no consequence. Though do feel free to try to save her I do so love a good action movie"
Ron was no longer paying Drakken any attention and was desperately searching for Kim. Moments later his search bore fruit and he found Kim lying unconscious on the floor in a pool of blood, a large data base lay across her left arm, and she looked badly burned. Ron rushed forward and removed the offending database and gingerly checked Kim over.
Ron tucked his head just in time to dodge a blow from a ninja, of two feet, that had hoped to cleave off the boys head. Placing Kim back down as gently as possible Ron slid into his fighting stance and prepared for another attack, but the ninja had vanished. Ron tensed ready for the next attack and strained to spot or hear anything in the dark room which to Ron's dismay echoed with every step and breath he or anything else made, thus he could not pinpoint where the attacker was.
Another attack came again from behind Ron, but this time the ninja was successful hitting him in the back of the knee, dropping Ron to his knees. This was answered by another ninja who placed a hairy foot into Ron's face bloodying the boy's nose and watering his eyes. Before Ron could recover the two monkey ninjas tackled him from opposite sides one high the other low, spinning the boy where he was and landing his head on the concrete. Stars filled Ron's eyes as he staggered to his feet and prepared for another attack. The first ninja attacked with a knife hand strike towards Ron's throat which much to the ninja's disliking was caught. Ron smiled slightly as he squeezed the assailants tiny hand. Tighter and tighter he squeezed until he heard the sound of the tiny hand crunch under his grip. With his other hand Ron grabbed the screaming monkey and hurled him into the corner of a desk and watched as the monkey flopped to the ground where it lay cradling its broken hand and wrist. Quickly the second monkey recovered his fallen comrade and they both vanished into the shadows as the PA system blared again.
Well, Well. Look who has defeated two of my better monkey ninjas," echoed the voice of Fist, "I must say that I did not expect them to defeat you but then again they were just a distraction."
A panel slide aside on the desk Ron had slammed the ninja into revealing a digital countdown. Ron's eyes widened in horror as the doors to the room slammed shut and locked.
"It is too bad that I could not kill you myself Stoppable but I have more important things to attend to as of the moment," laughed Fist, "but do know that your death shall not be a waste. After all when you die there shall only be one Monkey Master. Ta ta mister Stoppable."
With that the PA shut off leaving Ron to his task, getting himself and Kim most of all out before the whole place went up in a giant fire ball. But how he thought.
"Wait the Kimmunicator"
Ron thumbed the on button on the device and was greeted by Wade. "No time Wade see if you can unlock these doors as of yesterday man" Ron glanced at the count down...10 "Lets make it fast Wade 10 seconds left"
"OK, OK" replied Wade, his fingers flying at blazing speed.
5...4...3...
"Ok, Done" cried Wade as the doors slide open and Ron putting Kim over his shoulder bolted as fast as his legs could carry him.
..2...1...0...
The explosion rocked the building sending shockwaves down the entire length of the structure. Ron didn't care though, all he had to do was out run the resulting fire ball, no big,... right? Over head a rocket blasted off from the mouth of the volcano on board were Drakken, Shego, Fist and six of his best ninjas, and a terrified Frugal Lucre.
