Chapter 1
'Why?' Ron Stoppable thought, standing on top of a cliff looking over Middleton. After everything he had done, they all turn on him. And Kim, how could she do this to him.
Before the Lowardians, Ron and Kim got together. He was the happiest he had been in a long time. but then a new threat appeared. The lowardians. Kim and Shego were forced to work together, but it still was not enough. When they were fighting the Lowardians, Kim, Shego, and Drakken were knocked out, leaving Ron to fight them on his own. Realizing that he was the only one left, Ron unleashed the full power of his mystical powers, messing up the engines. Realizing what he had done, Ron grabbed the others and got out, But didn't have time to get the Lowardians. They were doomed with the ship.
Ron did it. HE was the hero. HE saved the day. not Kim. But the world would never know that and Ron was fine with that. After that Graduation came around and Kim had all these offers for different colleges While Ron didn't have any. He had been having nightmares so he didn't get enough sleep and because of that his grades started slipping and barely made it past highschool. Ron was hoping that some of the cooking schools would accept him. but until then he was happy just having the best family and girlfriend he could ask for.
However Ron while acting like he was ok, was actually having very hard time. His parents, Kim's parents, and even Kim herself didn't notice, but his pet and sister did. He was having nightmares, often waking up in the middle of the night sweating and gasping for breath. He was haunted by the memories of his victory against the alien duo. They were screaming at him, asking why did they deserve to die and not the others. MONSTER, MURDERER they yelled. The nightmare usually ended with Kim running from him in terror and behind her Ron saw himself using the mystical powers to destroy the city.
After the first couple of nightmares, fearing what he would unleash if he used them, he only used his powers if it was an absolute emergency. Ron, being the type of person he is decided not to tell anyone about his problems. He always wants to help so he decided not to tell anyone become a burden to others.
Then came the time for Kim to leave to continue her studies. Kim promised him that she would send letters and packages and call. They still went out when she came to visit. Ron kept trying to get into a college but they wouldn't except him. and cooking schools wouldn't except him because of the school restaurant fiasco but he kept his positive attitude. However as time went on Kim started sending letters and calling less and less. It went from once a week to once a month. and after four months all communication stopped.
Ron tried and tried but he couldn't get Kim to talk to him. He went to her parents but they told him that she was fine, but super busy. And after all the possibles were like a second family to him, why would they lie.
Two weeks later Ron was walking around town when he saw Kim's car outside of Bueno nacho. His face lit up, finally he would see her. As he walked to the restaurant he looked in the window and saw Kim, Anne, and 'Josh?' Deciding to see what they were talking about he slowly and silently walked through the door. It was the lunch rush so it was easy to hide. However as he neared the table and heard Anne speak he wished he stayed outside.
"so how is your relationship going?" Anne asked with a smile. Ron however felt like he took a bullet through the chest.
"it's going good, mom" Kim said holding Josh's hand
"Have you told Ron about it?" Anne asked giving Kim a questioning look.
[sigh] "I wish I could, mom, but you know how he is." Kim said shaking her head. "If I tell him, he'll freak out."
"I understand that, but you have to tell him. But I guess it was a good thing that you met Josh at the campus. He is certainly a good influence on you. You're father and I certainly approve. Ron seems to have hit a roadblock in his life. It seems as if he thinks that high school is just as high as he can go. I just don't think that Ron is right for you. You need someone who wont quit when things get hard.
Ron had tears in his eyes and was feeling all kinds of emotions. Didn't they understand that he was trying. Did they for get all that he had done. all that he was trying to do.
"I know mom, and too be honest there were times when I wanted to hit him and scream at him. Every time we were on missions and he messed up I was so embarrassed, and it felt like I was babysitting him. I mean when we started dating he stepped up to show everyone that I made a good choice, but looking back at it, he never showed initiative when it came to us. But I feel so much happier with Josh, sure in high school we didn't work out with all the missions and things like that. Now that I have GJ helping and Ron not messing things up they go much faster. I'm much happier with Josh then I was with Ron. Kim explained.
Ron couldn't take anymore. He ran. He ran as fast as he could. By the time he made it home the tears had dried up but he was a wreck. As he was preparing to open the door his parents beat him to it "Ron we need to talk." his mother told him with a serious look.
"We think it may be best if you got your own place and started your own life" his father told him.
"But dad, I don't have any money or anywhere else to go" Ron explained to him
"I understand that Ron, But you have had months to think about this. We believe it may be best if you left. That way you can get a start on your own life."
"Are you... Are you kicking me out?" Ron asked with tears in his eyes.
"Don't think of it as kicking you out, but as a push to get you to start your life. His mother Tried to explain, but even Ron could tell that it was weak.
Ron just turned and walked away ignoring his parents cries for him to come back. Ron made it to the side walk before he saw his 3 year old sister Hana. "where are you going big brother?" she asked in her cute little three year old voice.
Ron knew he had to be strong for his sister. kneeling down, Run pulled her into a hug. His arms going all the way around her while she tried to put her small arms around him. "Big brother has to leave for a while, ok?" Ron said holding in his tears, but that failed when he saw the tears in Hana's eyes and she threw her arms around him again. "NO! YOU CAN'T LEAVE BIG BROTHER" She cried as rivers of tears fell from her eyes.
Ron felt sick. He was causing his sister to cry. Putting his hands on either side of his sister's head he made her look up at him and it hurt him to see her so sad. "Listen to me, Hana. you have to be strong, ok?"
Hana nodded her head still looking deep into Ron's eyes "Will you come back?" She asked softly
Pulling his sister into a hug he whispered in her ear "Of course I will, I will come back. but you have to strong until then ok?"
"ok"
"Good girl. Why don't you go inside with mom and dad and be a good girl while I'm gone, ok? And I will come back, you just have to believe in me." He said pulling her into a final hug. "I love you so very much." he told her.
"I wuv you to big brother" she said cutely.
And that is where Ron found himself later that night. Standing on the cliff, alone. He had left Rufus at his scooter after telling him he had to be alone for a little down Ron wondered why he just doesn't jump off and end all his problems. 'it would be so easy to just end it all.' he thought to himself. After all, what did he have to live for. His parents kicked him out, Kim's parents betrayed him. He thought and treated them as his second family and they betray him, and Kim cheated on him with some she thought was better. He had so many emotions going through body. As he was preparing to jump, he remembered what he told his sister. [I will come back. you just have to believe in me.] He had something to live for. He would fight. Fight for his sister and fight for himself.
Ron was so deep in thought that he didn't see the seven glowing objects heading his way until they were circling around him. Ron stood completely still in shock he didn't know what these things were. They almost looked like 'rings?' All of them were a different colors, they were green, blue, yellow, red, orange, violet, and indigo. They were just circling around him, but Ron could feel the power coming from them.
He was brought out of his thoughts by the green ring floating in front of him and it spoke in a old wise voice " Ronald Dean Stoppable, you have the will to protect those stronger and weaker then yourself. You belong in the Green Lantern Corps. " Ron's eyes glowed blue with the mystical power, as the ring instead of going to his finger like he thought. It phased through his chest. "AHHH" Ron screamed as he fell to his knees when he felt the ring fuse to his body and his eyes glowed green. After the pain Ron felt GREAT, like he could do anything. But he didn't have time to dwell on it.
Not even five seconds later the yellow ring floated in front of him and spoke in a raspy voice that made Ron a little afraid. "Ronald Dean Stoppable, you have the power to put fear in peoples hearts. You belong in the Sinestro Corps" before it too phased through his chest. Ron grit his teeth in pain, the pain wasn't as bad as the first time. Again his eyes glowed, but yellow this time.
Same as the others, the blue ring came to him and spoke in a voice that was positive and hopeful. " Ronald Dean Stoppable, you hold on to hope against all odds. you belong in the Blue Lanterns Corps" then it phased through his chest and Ron's eyes glowed blue, a darker blue then when he uses his mystical powers. Ron twitched in pain, as it hardly hurt.
Next came the red, it spoke in a voice that was angry and hateful. "Ronald Dean Stoppable, you have great rage in your heart. you belong to the Red Lantern Corps." like the others it flew into his chest and attached itself to his body and his eyes became red. Ron didn't even flinch.
Next was the violet. Ron wondered what emotion this was. he heard a woman's voice that was soft and kind. "Ronald Dean Stoppable, you hold vast amounts of love in your heart. You belong to the star sapphires." Ron was surprised what this ring and color stood for as his eyes became violet, but he accepted it anyway .
Next was the indigo. It also spoke in a woman's voice. "Ronald Dean Stoppable, you find compassion in your heart for even your worst enemies. you belong in the indigo tribe." the ring said phasing through his chest.
the last was the orange one. It spoke in a voice that sounded selfish and like it tried to sallow rocks. "Ronald Dean Stoppable, you hold greed in your heart. you belong to Orange Lantern Corps." As it flew into his chest Ron was surprised by what this ring and color stood for, he didn't think he was a greedy person. sure he thought about himself every once in a while and he like getting things for himself but he didn't think of himself all the time.
After all the rings had fused inside his body, Ron felt fantastic, the best he had ever felt. and it was like all the emotions he felt had felt power come with them. After going to a hotel room for the night, Ron was looking in the mirror trying to find out what happened to him. 'man, sometimes I just want to hit myself over the head with a baseball bat.' What happened next caused Ron to almost fall on his but. A green baseball bat materialized in his hand exactly the way he had pictured it. "whoa" he said looking at the bat with wide eyes. he then pictured the bat disappearing and to his amazement, it did. "hahaha" Ron started laughing. This was great. Ron wondered what else he could do. Leaving his hotel room and finding an abandoned warehouse Ron tested his new abilities.
'What about twin katanas' Ron thought. A pair of katanas appeared in his hands. "Awesome". 'How sharp can I make them?' Walking up to a concrete block, he took a deep breath... and swung. At first nothing happened and he wondered if he missed. A second later the block split in half with the cleanest, smoothest, and straightest cut he had ever seen. "Wow" he whispered. 'could I make clothes with these?' Ron thought as he pictured the uniform he wanted in his mind. All of a sudden the clothes he was wearing disappeared as a green ninja outfit appeared with armor that covered his chest, shoulders, lower arms, shins, and knees, and in the middle of the chest armor was the green lantern symbol.
Wanting to see what he looked like he walked in front of a broken mirror, and gasped, not at what he was wearing but what the color of his eyes were. They were glowing green. 'What were the others. blue was hope, violet was love, yellow was fear, indigo was compassion, orange was greed, and red was rage' When he thought of rage he thought of HER, her parents, and his parents. and he could feel his anger grow. looking in the mirror he saw his suit change from green to red and the symbol change. He looked closer and saw his eyes were no longer a bright green, but a blood red that looked like fire.
He felt the power that came with the anger but it didn't feel like it was going to overpower him. Willing himself to calm down he saw his suit change back to green. 'so the suit and my eyes change color with the emotion and power I'm using...well then, you might as well call me the living mood ring. the only thing that could make this better would be if I could fly.' Suddenly Ron flew straight up into the ceiling and then fell back to the floor. Preparing to hit the ground, he shielded
After going back to his hotel room for the night Ron sat on his bed thinking about the night and what he was supposed to do. ' I could continue being a hero, that's why I started helping Kim in the first place. But when I was with her I was only the distraction, not the hero. But I know of a place where I can get started.' The place that Ron was talking about was a place he had only been once before.
Yamanouchi Ninja School in Japan
-
"Wow Rufus, this place hasn't changed a bit!" Ron exclaimed with excitement as he walked through the tall wooden gates of the secret school. When he entered the main room he saw many men and women training in the style of the ninja, but the person he wanted to see was in front of the group, standing with dignity honor, and grace, Master Sensei.
When Ron was only a few feet away, he got down on one knee, bowed his head, and waited to be addressed. The master stood in front of him with a warm smile on his face. "Greetings Stoppable-san, and welcome once again to Yamanouchi." he said placing a hand on Ron's shoulder.
"Greetings my master, I have a request to make, however if I could I would like to explain in private, as I have much to tell you. And I would also like it if we kept what I am about to tell you between ourselves." He told the man in front of him.
"Yes, I sensed much has happened since your last visit. come, we can talk in my quarters. No one shall disturb us there." he said walking a normal pace to the young man could follow.
Once they were in the room Ron looked to the side and saw the lotus blade. The blade was used to carve the school by the very first wielder. Ron was about to grab it, but thought it might be better to ask permission. Turning to look at the master, he saw him nod telling him it was ok. Grabbing the blade by the handle, Ron felt like a piece of him was found. Like something was missing and now it was found. Putting the blade down, he walked to the table in the middle of the room, where master sensei was pouring some tea for the two of them.
"Thank you for seeing me master. A lot has happened since I we last spoke." Ron told him sitting on his knees at the table.
" Yes I sense much pain in you, young one, but I also sense great power, a kind I have never felt before." His master told him.
Ron explained everything to him. The lowardians, the nightmares and how he barley past high school because of them, Kim, her parents, his parents, and finally how he got the rings and how they went inside of him and their powers. During the tale, Master sensei only interrupted to ask questions. but let the young man explain his troubles.
"You have been through a lot of pain, my friend. But I sense that is not the reason for your visit." Master sensei told him with a smile and a knowing look. Ron always hated that look.
Ron stood and walked to the master of the school and got to a knee and bowed his head. "I Ronald Dean Stoppable, ask you to teach me to control my emotions and my powers. to teach me the skills to protect the weak and innocent. To teach me to bring justice to those who wish to bring the world harm. Teach me to be a hero." Ron asked with seriousness in his voice and fire in his eyes.
"Come with me, Stoppable-san" The master told him walking out of the room and going back to the courtyard.
"Teachers and students, come and gather before me!" the master yelled through the courtyard. After everyone had gathered, the master turned to Ron. "Stoppable-san kneel before me. Ron kneeled to a knee and kept his head low. "Do you Ronald Dean Stoppable, you come before us today to learn the knowledge and the arts of battle, however it is not an easy road. Are you prepared for your muscles to pull and strain, for your bones to quiver and break only to heal and break again. Do you swear to defend the weak and helpless, to protect them against tyrants and evil dictators. and never give up if your are captured or tortured.
Ron looked in the eyes of the master before he spoke. "I, Ronald Dean Stoppable, swear to be the best hero I can be."
Hey guys this is the first chapter of my new story. Now there will be some changes in this story.
1- I know the star sapphires are only women. Ron is the first man to receive a ring.
2- The blue lanterns will have fighting capabilities.
3- I know that I gave Ron the rings, but this is not a lantern corps based story. it is justice league with the corps thrown in.
