I DO NOT OWN Kim Possible, as much as I wish I did. KP is property of Disney and the creator. I make no profit from this, I only get enjoyment.
may contain things that make snowflakes melt, I like my stories to have that element of reality to them, and reality can be rough.
disclaimers over, on to the story.
Wade jolted up and did a quick check to see if his wife was not disturbed by him or the insistent buzzing coming from his cellphone. He grabbed it and made his way quickly from the room to take the call.
"Hello, Dr. Wade Load speaking. May I..."
Wade was cut off by the frantic words of a foreign woman.
There was some brief shuffling and a man with a strong accent started in English. "Hello. I am sorry about that Doctor Load. My Wife and I have had a rough day..." Wade could tell that the man had covered the phone receiver and seemed to be telling the woman something.
He popped a can of Orange Fizzy and settled into his chair, booting up his computer as he did so.
"Sorry once again. My name is Ambassador Hector Bavara." Wade was about to ask what the call was about, but the ambassador continued. "Have you heard of the new island in the pacific, Paluia Hantu?"
"Volcanic, it is in the Filipines, has been steadily erupting for..." He typed in a few things quickly. "For ten years now."
"Well yes and no, Doctor. The island is it's own nation, with a constitution, well more of an agreement between the citizens." Hector shuffled some papers. "When we were certain the island wasn't going to wash away, I took a team and went to explore. My team and I were shocked to see that buildings and farms existed. People living there, running businesses. They were directing the lava flows to extend their land! Importing plants and animals to build an ecosystem. They invited me to help, and I couldn't resist. I became quite close with the elected Monarchs." He sighed, Wade just waited for Hector to continue. "I have friends in politics, the military, they saw the chance at having a new naval base on Paluia Hantu, I convinced Queen Xia to build the base, in return for the Filipino government recognizing their sovereignty."
Wade nodded, so used to having a video chat with clients and friends. "So this call is about?"
Hector yawned deeply. "Sorry, as I have said, long day. My God daughters, the princesses of Hantu, have been taken. the Island has been scoured. My country is practically going door to door. The queens insist that Team Possible handle the situation. I cannot reach Master Stoppable, but I would like you to tell him that there is a transport waiting at Misawa Air Base. They might need to share the ride, but they will be brought to Paluia Hantu as soon as they are aboard. We are already nine hours behind the kidnappers, Doctor. Please hurry!"
The worry and fear in Hector's voice broke his heart and he took a long look at the family photo on his desk. He, Monique and their daughter Jazz. A quick clock check, some math and thinking through the time zones, the girks were taken about seven o clock PM their time, meaning that Hector, if he got up at six like an average person...
He hit Ron's contact for a video chat. "Calling right now Ambassador. I'll keep the girls in my prayers. Get some sleep."
"Yes, there are small beds on the plane. I look forward to meeting Master Stoppable. Thank you, Doctor! Good night."
Ron had gotten a little better at handling mornings, but he still didn't like them. Of course spooning his smoking hot wife made them more enjoyable. He pressed into her feeling himself stiffen and strain against his pajama bottoms, her own bottoms seeming to retreat and allow him to nestle between her supple... he was annoyed again by the beeping. this time he was enjoying something far better than an unlimited Naco Buffet. A small shadow fell over him. "Rufus, I'm sleeping." He pulled the blanket over his head and hugged his mate close.
"Nu uh! 'Mergency! Danger!" He hit the answer button and pulled the covers back. Ron was greeted with an upside down Wade.
"Sorry Ron, but this one is time sensitive! There is a plane to Paluia Hantu waiting for you and Yori at Misawa Air Base, where you will be meeting Ambassador Hector Bavara for briefing."
"Can someone else do this, Bro?" Ron seemed to plead.
"It is a kidnapping, and we are nine hours fifteen minutes behind." with Wade's words, Yori got up and began dressing. "R-Ron, turn the..." He stopped talking as Yori bent at the waist and he got a look at her from behind. Gotta go!!!" The screen went blank.
"So weird?" Ron felt his pants hit him. "Yeah, yeah. Save the day... sometimes I hate being a hero."
Ron drove as fast as he could. Luckily they had been staying in a town near enough to the base that they would only lose another hour, even with Ron speeding.
"You think it is okay to leave Hanna in charge of Hiro and Kimberly?" Ron asked with worry.
"I look at it this way, husband. Ninja need to be sneaky, and know how to avoid getting caught. So, if they do something, and we find out, they get punished. If they do not do anything, then we know we have raised them well."
"What if they do something but don't get caught?"
"Then we assume they have done nothing wrong and assume that we have also trained them well." Yori said with a matter of fact tone.
Ron smiled. "Smart, Kick Ass, Smoking Hot! I'm so lucky!" Ron beamed with pride and innocently placed a hand on her knee.
Yori blushed, felt herself moisten as thoughts of earlier came up. "As am I, Ronald. My treasured and honorable husband."
"So much better with words than me." He added with a chuckle, making her giggle, as they approached the gate to the base.
The gate opened and a man in a fashionable black and grey business suit waved them through shouting out the dircetions they needed as they passed.
They came to a large, black plane with VTOL abilities. Men in civilian clothes instructed them to drive aboard. As soon as they stopped, the car was secured.
Ahead of them was a cargo truck, Yori pointed out the JASDF markings and the glimpse of boxes through the canvase flap. Two men in suits sat on each side of the bumper, one smoking a cigarette.
The ninja exited their car and made their way to the passenger area. Ron went right for the fridge, Yori decided to walk a little further. She came to the door to the cockpit. Behind it she felt a powerful precence and it worried her.
She turned only to see a man in a khaki short-pants suit exiting a sleeping bunk. He stumbled across the hall to the bathroom and she rushed back to Ron's side.
"Yori, this is Ernest Hokasu and Wayne. Wayne, Ernest, my lovely and amazing wife, Master Yori Stoppable."
"I don't see it." Wayne said. He waited for Ron to be distracted with the microwave bacon burger to wink at Yori. "I mean, were you fat or something... naw, I wouldn't believe that." He had a hint of a teasing tone that Yori picked up on. She waited to reply when Ron added another handful of chips to his stuffed mouth.
She smiled slightly. "Four little words." she held up her open hand, palm towards herself, and lowered a finger with each word. "Thirteen long, three thick." Only her thumb remained up, she motioned with it to her husband and smiled while she modestly folded her hands in her lap. Wayne glanced at Ron, then crossed his legs and found an old Teenz-Life magazine suddenly interesting.
Ron remained oblivious to the small transaction. He did stop to look at Yori for a moment. "I warmed you a chicken on a biscuit." He handed her a paper plate with the sandwhich and hashbrowns.
"So thoughtful!" She thought as she beamed happily and started to nibble at her breakfast. She felt him put an arm around her, making her sigh. She could even ignore the mustard stain on her new, black leotard for him.
After the short meal, they got to talking with Eenest and Wade.
They learned that Ernest grew up in Whales, his family moved around the region a lot while he was growing up. He had been in the RAF and he and Yori discussed philosophy and literature.
Wayne didn't give up a second name, or was it hos first that they didn't know. they did learn that he grew up in Texas, and started working with his dad in the oilfields until he joined the Marine Corps. Which was cool for him as he got to meet his Japanese cousins in person for the first time. He and Ron discussed their favorite fast food, and went as far as to discuss what location of each franchise was better.
Before long they were told that they would be setting down in Bon Bon Field in the Jimstown region of Paluia Hantu.
The man in the khaki suit, heavily influenced with his Hispanic genes Yori noticed, entered the cabin. Along with him was another japanese man who offered a small bow to the ninja before he sat with Ernest and Wade.
The man in the suit turned to Ron and Yori. "Masters Stoppable, hello and a pleasure to finally meet you! I am Hector Bavara, you may call me Hector."
The announcement came that they were landing.
"So your daughter was kidnapped?" Ron asked shaking Hector's hand.
"My God daughters. Ronnie and Jamie Gobles, the princesses of the island. They were playing at Bah Foon Beach, I went to the Icy Cart and there was a commotion. When I got back, the area was a wreck. Seven guards are no longer with us. I am to introduce you to the head of island police, the queen." He pointed to Yori. "Ron will be escorted by Sargent Hai to speak with the head of island security, the queen."
"Why can you just take us both to see her?" Ron asked as they followed Hector to their car.
"Queen Xia is the head of security. Queen Anna is head of the island police." Hector clarified.
"Two queens, I bet the king has his hands full!" Ron said slyly.
"There is no king." Hector replied.
Ron lost his smile and looked sorry. "Oh, uh, sorry... long live the king?"
"The Queens live what you would call an alternate life style, Master Stoppable." Hector said with amusement.
"So they're vegan, I've learned to like the food... some." Ron said with releif.
"They are married to eachother, husband." Yori watched as Ron deflated again, then perked up. "I know what you are thinking." She said through narrowed eyes.
"And?" Ron asked her.
"Stop it." She commanded simply.
"Yes, my love." Ron said with a pout.
"Marriage is a wonderful thing!" Hector commented as he got in front. the car was released and he drove them to the beach.
There, Ron switched cars while Yori was walked down to the scene of the crime.
it was unbelievable! A car, the jungle gym, a set of paralell bars all melted, the car of course also exploded. A see saw was burnt and a palm tree was charred. the center of the scene had a flat plane of colored glass that was once the beautiful pink, blue and violet sand of the beach.
Foot prints, swirls in the sand, drag marks, these were preserved in the glass. some sections were cut out. Hector explained that the bodies had to be removed.
Hector said a quick fare well and departed with tears in his eyes. Yori was left to watch a woman methodically searching the area. She wore a military uniform and a ski mask. She also moved like a skilled warrior, that was some thing Yori didn't miss.
Yori scanned the area again then walked out to meet their client.
"I couldn't find them." Yori faltered in her steps as she heard the voice. The tone sounded as if the emotions in the voice's owner would tear the woman apart.
"Your Majesty," Yori started as she had been instructed to do with royalty in the past.
"Please, Ann is fine, Mrs. Stoppable." The woman pulled a folder from her satchel and handed it to Yori. "Incident report, crime scene notes and photographs. Witness reports. Everything you need to start. But until we know who, we don't know where to look..." she growled, Yori admitted to herself it was cute, but she felt the anger and rage in it. "Back in the day I would be knocking down every door of every..." she seemed to purposefully cut herself off. Anna took a few deep breaths. "My wife and I will be coming along once we find our babies. There is no stopping us. I just know, with a bad feeling, that this is just the start of it all."
Sargent Hai didn't talk, he simply drove and dropped Ron off at a cabin that was influenced by the Chinese pagodas and frontier cabins of the Old Wild West days.
"I guess it works." Ron said with an appreciative nod. the front door was open so he walked up the cobblestone path and right inside. There he saw a woman in a black catsuit slipping on a mask and though he didn't see her face, he knew right away who she was...
okay, so I'm stopping there.
wish me luck because this is the third time I've tried typing this.
