Title: The Zodiac Stones
Prologue:
The 12 Holy Zodiac stones are powerful relics of a long forgotten time. They were said to have been used by 12 warriors who defeated a powerful demon who had been released upon the world. Since then, no one knows what has happened to them, but it is said that whoever finds them unlocks their secret will be granted massive strength, magical abilities and immortality..... Recently a strange round stone with the zodiac symbol of Aries was found in a cave and eventually had been shipped to a Museum for study. Many super villians are planning to steal the stone, for if it does have power, they would want to wield it.......
Chapter 1: Not just an ordinary Stone
Two Guards patrolled the deserted museum. All the lights were off except for the small spot lights that illuminated the exhibits, including the "Aries" stone. They had been told to be extra careful since the stone had been placed there, but that was a week ago and nothing has happened so they did little more than walk around the museum counting the number of marble tiles of the floor.
"I'm going to the restroom." said one of the guards.
"I don't need a status report...just go..." said the other guard as he reclined in his chair and pushed his hat over his eyes and rested.
The guard walked into the restroom down the hallway and picked up a magazine that was on the counter. He got to the toilet and did his business while reading an interesting article on whales. He had only gotten to the third paragraph when the noise of glass breaking was heard. The guard looked up from his magazine.
"Fred?" he called out to the other guard in which he recieved no reply.
The guard figured that Fred had just broken something by accident but decided it was better to make sure. He picked up his pants and turned the safety off his handgun.
"What happened Fred?" the guard said as he opened the door of the restroom cautiously in a sort of SWAT team type pose.
The guard walked briskly back to where he had left his friend to find him knocked out cold and the Aries stone missing.
"Shit..." the guard said as held his gun ready to shoot at anything that moved.
He walked around the room checking for the assaliant and as he made his way pass the Aztec Calendar exhibit he saw a green and black blurr in the corner of his eye. His first instinct was to shoot but knew that he might hit a priceless artifact by accident and quickly rethought his approach. No sooner did he think that particular thought did a glowing fist strike him in the back of the head knocking him out.
"All too easy.." said the woman in black and green as she held the Aries stone under her arm.
The woman stood there admiring her fine skills at the art of thievery and as she did so a small beeping noise came from a sort of walkie talkie that was clipped on to her belt.
"Shego, did you get the Aries stone?" a voice on the walkie talkie said.
"uhhh...of course I did! Never underestimate me!" Shego snapped back.
"Whatever...just bring it back immediately....I can't wait to see what it can do!" the voice said.
"You're the boss...I'll be there in a little while..." Shego said into the walkie talkie before clipping it back on the belt. With the Aries stone in hand she quickly did some acrobatics to escape out the window in which she entered.
THE NEXT DAY
"BEEP BEEP BEEP!" Ron looked up from his bed and pushed the snooze button on his alarm clock and quickly returned to sleep. Rufus, Ron's pet nake mole rat streched as he awoke and looked at the clock wich read "8:25" Rufus' eyes opened wide and within a second shook Ron's head.
"What is Rufus?" Ron said with an annoyed tone in his voice.
Rufus pointed to the clock and made a few squeaky noise. Ron's eyes glanced at it quickly and realized what was the matter.
"Why do I set the alarm for that time?" said Ron.
"ummm...I dunno" Rufus said in his high pitched voice.
He quickly took a shower, got dressed, and ate an eggo waffle before heading out the door with half of the waffle still in his hand. He ran down the street and within a few minutes was at the door of his school. He slowed down his pace in the hall catching his breath and hopefully cooling off enough to stop sweating. He walked down the long hallways which gave him ample time to think to himself since his first class was clear across the campus. A million thoughts seemed to crowd his feeble mind all at once.
"What will I eat for lunch?" "I wonder what will happen when I interupt class when I walk in..." " What adventures will me and KP get into today?" and " I wonder how I'm going to finish my homework before 5th period." are just some of the thoughts that went through his mind as he walked down the hall. In fact he was so lost in thought that he hadn't noticed Bonnie Rockwaller, a fellow cheerleader and classmate but who was in no way his friend, and bumped into her as she was drinking water.
"Watch where you're going Loser!" She quickly snapped at him while fixing her hair even though it was not even moved or damaged in any way by the bump.
"Wha....oh.. sorry Bonnie I guess I wasn't looking where I was going, heh, heh, heh...." Ron responded with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"I guess so huh? Well make sure it doesn't happen again." Bonnie responed.
"Why aren't you in class? Are you late too?" inquired Ron.
"I'm not late, I need to go to my locker to get something I forgot...I have the hall pass to prove it." Bonnie said.
"Ok..." Ron said.
"So what? ....in fact, why am I talking to you? Outta of my loser!" Bonnie said as she walked pass Ron and on to her locker.
Ron stood there for a few seconds before remembering that he was late and quicky got back to the task at hand: get to class! Ron finally reached class after what seemed like an epic journey through the school. He walked through the door and apologized to the teacher for being late. Ron then took his usual seat in the back next to a certain friend, which in reality was just about his only friend.
"Late again?" Kim Possible whispered to Ron.
"Yeah....." Ron whispered back..
"It's becoming a habit...one more trady and you'll like get detention, so be careful!" Kim whispered again to Ron before returning her attention back to the teacher.
Ron took these words of wisedom to heart and promised himself that he would at least try to try not to being late. The rest of first period passed without any further incident and after another usual 2nd and 3rd period it was time for Ron's favorite part of school: lunch. Ron and Kim stood in the lunch line for a few minutes until they recieved their lunch and although it didn't taste great, it was good enough for two hungry friends. They sat together, ate their food and talked about the usual stuff. Just then Kim's kimmunicator went off with the familiar sound that we all know and answered in her oh so familiar phrase.
"Hey Wade, whats the sitch?" Kim said as she answered her Kimmunicator.
"There's trouble at the museum. An artifact called the "Aries Stone" was stolen last night. " Wade said from the little screen in the Kimmunicator from behind his desk and in front of countless computers and other techno gadgets.
"Any leads as to who stole it?" Kim asked.
"Well...I don't want to jump to conclusions but the two guards said that a woman dressed in black and green was responsible for the crime." Wade said with a note of sarcasim.
"Shego.....well, at any rate, me and Ron will head over to the museum after school to see if we can find out anything else...later Wade." Kim said as she turned off her Kimmunicator and put it back in her pocket. The rest of the school day passed without any noteworthy incident, unless you count Ron not finishing his homework in time for 5th period....after school Ron and Kim walked over to the museum in an akward silence which neither friend felt like breaking and they finally reached the museum and looked at each other.
"Kim, I think I need a car." Ron said.
"I think so too, or at least some other vehicle." Kim said.
Ron followed Kim into the museum and met with the guy in charge of the museum ( I don't know what a guy in charge of museum is called) and inquired about the stone. He was an unusually short guy at about 5'3 and wore blue pants and a tie.
"I hear the "Aries" stone was stolen last night." said Kim.
The man, who had been staring at the broken case that once held the stone just stood there for a few seconds before moving his head a little and responded "yes...it was." and then looked back at the broken case.
Kim looked at Ron and shrugged and then said, " I'm here to see if I can help get it returned to the museum."
The man then turned around and said, "You are Kim Possible right? Good, I hear "you can do anything." I hope it is not an exaggeration, since getting the stone back maybe very difficult."
Ron quickly put his two cents in " It's not an exaggeration! Kim Possible CAN do anything, you'll see!"
"Thank's Ron" Kim said to her friend with a smile. "Anyway, I don't think it will be too difficult, since I have a pretty good idea of who the thief is and believe me, it won't be too difficult retrieving it." Kim Possible said with an unusal amount of confidence.
"It is not the thief who worries me...the stone is said to have an unimagiable power..." said the man.
Kim's eyes widen a little before raising an eyebrow and asking, "And you believe that it really does?"
The man just stood there and even though he didn't say it, it was clear that he did believe it.
"You know Kim, so far every artifact that one of our enemies has come across did have some super power...so I would guess this one does too." Ron said.
"Good point" Kim said.
The man then coughed to bring the attention back to him. "At any rate, the stone must be retrieved, even if it doesn't have powers, it is still valuable."
"Of course, of course, we'll get right on it." Kim said.
"Of course we will pay handsomely for its return." The man said.
"What? oh...no..I'm a "super hero" remember? I do this stuff for free." Kim said surprised since this was the first time in a very long while that a client actually wanted to pay her.
"Now wait a minute KP." Ron said with a twinkle in his eye and a goofy grin on his face. "Excuse us a moment." Ron said to the Museum guy and pulled Kim aside.
"Come on KP! I don't want to seem greedy, but come on! Why shouldn't we get payed for all our hard work?" Ron whispered to Kim.
"Because we're the good guys!" Kim said sternly.
"Fine....." Ron said while rolling his eyes before walking toward the exit of the museum. Kim then returned to the Museum guy.
"We'll get right on the case and get your stone back!" Kim said before hurrying up to catch her friend.
"Good luck." said the man.
Kim caught up to Ron outside the museum and apologized to him and explained that didn't need the money as they walked to their homes.
"It's ok Kim, I didn't really mean it! I...uh...I just joking really, you know I help because we're friends!." Ron said who obviously did want the money but he respected Kim's decision and really couldn't bring himself to be angry at her.
Kim smiled. "Thanks for being so understanding."
Ron then continued to walk with Kim all the way to her house, said goodbye and went on to his own house.
Ron finally made it home and after playing and talking with his pet Rufus got ready for bed.
"It sure was a long day today....I wonder though...what kinda powers does that stone have?" Ron said. "I guess it doesn't matter...me and KP can handle anything...." Ron then closed his eyes and went to sleep with Rufus sleeping at the edge of his pillow.
