Chapter 1

"After Graduation"

I still couldn't believe that it had happened, that we had graduated from Middleton High School. I wasn't saying that because we finally received our diplomas, I was saying that because we had been involved in our greatest fight to date against the Lowardian forces.

Had it not been for Ron using the Mystical monkey power….well that is another story for another time.

Anyways, graduating from Middleton High meant that the futures of Ron and myself were uncertain. Our lives were going to be much different now than before, with me attending whatever university that would accept me as a student seeking a masters in Global Studies and Ron just being here to support me.

At the same time, however, I was also contemplating on the fact that maybe, perhaps, the time was coming for both of us to think about maybe stepping down from Global Justice. After all, being a crime fighter for a well-known organization like Global Justice took time and effort, something that I would be having less and less of as I started the next phase of my life. But I assured myself that I would take part in one last big mission that would not only end my tenure on a high note, but also save up to 2,000 lives at the same time.

This story began a few days following the graduation ceremony at Middleton High. The Lowardians had been defeated and a diploma was in my hands. Still, the damage was pretty much done to our town. Amazingly, our town had only been severely damaged in several places and even though our house had been destroyed in the invasion, Ron's mystical monkey power had amazingly restored it to the way it was before the invasion began. We knew it had been damaged during the invasion, based on the huge cracks that had appeared in several places, but my parents were already looking into it.

However, there were far more important matters than huge cracks that needed my attention, such as my impending enrollment at an unknown school that would soon accept me.

"Hey there, beautiful," said Ron as he walked into my bedroom on the day of my graduation party. "Ready to celebrate your four years of accomplishments?"

"Well, after everything that has happened," I replied while getting my makeup on. "I could sure use a distraction. Especially since I haven't heard any school willing to accept me as a student."

"They still haven't gotten back to you?" remarked Ron, his voice filled with surprise. "Rufus and I still have to settle our bet on which school you get into. He went for the big guns and chose Harvard while I chose for Brown University."

These two schools in question were my preferred choices. Sure, I had received dozens of schools from all over the world, but it would have been best if I waited until I went after I received my masters and began looking for a school where I would pursue my doctorate.

"Well, they are local schools, Ron," I said as I finished my makeup. "And I don't know why, but maybe it would be nice to get everything done with very little travelling to be done. I mean, we've travelled the world many times saving it from Drakken and all those other guys, but it gets boring after a while."

"In a sense, you just want to settle down," guessed Ron as he turned around while I threw on my sleeveless navy blue dress that I wore on special occasions. "Just focus on the education and less on the world saving. But, don't you think that it is not a good idea, knowing that the world needs to always be saved?"

Ron did bring up a good point about early retirement from Global Justice, but I knew that there was a very good reason for it. But, going after degrees and saving the world was not going to be easy. I needed to focus on one of the two in question and that the college education was much more important.

"Ron, I do have to be honest with you," I explained as I pulled my dress over my head. "Ever since the Lowardian invasion, I've thought about my future and it is becoming more and more dangerous to save the world. I mean, you've seen all the pictures of those crazy people that want our country wiped from existence, don't you?"

"Well, yes," replied Ron as he turned back around to face me. "I mean, battling crazy terrorists is sort of the new normal. But, I thought this would kind of be a fresh new challenge for you?"

"It wouldn't be," I said, putting on my stockings. "These terrorists are nothing like Drakken, Monkey Fist, Duff Killigan and all those other guys. They kill to get what they want and ever since 9/11, I've tried to stay away from them and let our people in the military deal with them. We are both young and deserve to pursue our own goals, Ron."

I could tell that Ron was not going to agree with me, but I wasn't surprised at that. He and I have had our differences and disagreements before like any other couple, still he would eventually come to respect my decision.

"However, it would be nice to at least finish my time with Global Justice on a high note," I sighed as I put on my black dress sandals. "I would like to take part in one final test, a test that would come to define everything that I have done in all the years I have been at Global Justice."

"Who knows when that would be?" remarked Ron, as we made our way downstairs. "Whatever it is, we will do it together as we have always done, my lady."

Ron kissed me on the cheek and then bent his elbow to escort me down the stairs to my waiting family, who were waiting to celebrate my accomplishments with me. Today was indeed a day of celebration, but little did we both know of what was brewing across the Atlantic and in the Middle East that would result in the greatest challenge of my crime fighting career: stopping a terror cell that was planning to carry out an attack that would surpass 9/11 itself…
