Valkyrie
AN: Don't own KP or any of this... but the Valkyrie is something from my own imagination, think Aurora secret plane mixed with some YF-23, MV-22 and with radical propulsion ideas. This doesn't take anything after the Moodulator incident into account, just a neat tangent in my vast imagination. Nothing important here, a bit of fluff, a bit of technology and some fun. Go easy as this is the first chapter of my first ever posting here on the site.
Chapter 1: Confidence
Oh, how a kiss can change things.
Three months ago he kissed me and we became what I had realized I wanted all along. I might have been under the influence of the Moodulator but it could only enhance what was already there. Kim thought as she sat looking up at the stars. She was looking there at the request of Ron and Wade, they said they had a suprise. Ron had been working with Wade somewhere on something for a solid week.
The changes had been many but all good in Ron. He had begun to workout, some of his 'Nacho money had gone into a full workout room on his parents house which she and Ron used together on a daily basis... the thoughs of this made her drift back to last week. He had just finished 10 miles on the treadmill and was heading for the weight bench when he took of his shirt and wiped his face with it. Kim had flushed red in an instant. "Ron... nice bod lover" Kim had giggled, saying it out of instinct while looking at a very nice six-pack forming on Ron's stomach and the definition forming on his arms and chest. Ron had blushed 3 shades of red ... still the same old Ron.
Confidence, it was a wonderful thing in the mind of someone like Ronald Dean Stoppable.
His grades had improved, in a sparring match he could hold off and defeat Kim half of the time and his clumsyness had faded to a fond memory. In combat he had become a demon, his Mystical Monkey Power never showed when sparring but when Shego lit up these days so did Ron with a will. Shego and Drakken both remembered his name now.
He had also shown the same skill with a wrench as he did with a spatula as well. A week after the kiss he had sold his scooter and purchased a beat up Harley Davidson and a full set of tools for his father's garage. The Harley had taken up two nights every week for a month after homework with Ron working hard to bring the bike back to its glory all the while not letting Kim see it until the morning Kim had heard a roar outside in the driveway as she ate breakfast with her folks.
Ron had said he was coming to pick her up with a suprise.
They had come outside to find Ron astride the Harley. The bike was painted with green metalflake... which Kim soon realized matched her eyes... and a cinnamon red second colour that matched her hair. The chrome on the bike shone like the sun that morning
The biggest suprise was Ron himself though, astride the bike in a black leather jacket and black helmet with a set of dark shades on Kim had nearly melted on the spot and her folks had both looked on shocked. Ron had put the down the kickstand and set the helmet on the seat, unstrapping a package off the back of the bike and walking directly to Kim with it.
"Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Dr. P, 'morning KP" He had given her a kiss before taking off the shades and handing her the gift. Kim remembered barely being able to stand, if her folks hadn't have been there she would have given Ron a gift of his own. Instead she had opened the package and gasped that it was a helmet and shades of her own to match Ron's. Despite her parents he had gotten a full 3 minute kiss... her father had tried to interrupt once only to be elbowed by her mother.
Her and Ron had driven to school on the Harley that day, the vibration and roar of the engine and her love for Ron had made her hold him tightly the whole way there, kissing the back of his exposed neck the whole way.
That was the day everyone noticed what I had noticed. Kim smiled to herself at the memory of that day.
The roar of the engine had snapped everyones head around and the crowd had formed instantly to find out who these two were.
Kim had gotten off and took off her helmet instantly and Bonnie, Tara, Monique and Felix had run up and said hello. The girls were all gazing sideways at the stranger just climbing off and searching the hard carriers for his books... all except for Felix who knew the bike because he had helped.
"Glad to see you ditched Stoppable and got a real Man" Bonnie had huffed at her, Kim's face had instantly twisted into rage but the suprise was Felix... he broke out laughing.
"It runs great Felix, you did an awesome job on the fuel injection" Ron had said to him.
On hearing the voice Bonnie looked stricken, Tara had become beet red and Monique screamed "Wicked hog Ron!"
Having found his books Ron flipped off his shades and helmet and shot a cold stare at Bonnie while speaking to Kim, "What do you think I am KP?"
"A real Man, and you're mine!" Kim had dropped her books and kissed him deeply as Bonnie had fled the scene dragging Brick who was still staring at that sweet ride in the parking lot.
"NONE OF THAT ON SCHOOL GROUNDS" Barkin roared, breaking the kiss leaving Ron awith a goofily dreamy smile plastered accross his face. Barkin strode up to bike and looked at it fondly then turned his attention to Ron.
"I had a bike like that when I was your age Stoppable, we'll talk sometime, get to class before your late."
That scene had been worth flunking a pop quiz... all I could think about that day was Ron. Kim thought as she gazed upwards... something moved. A blue streak was tracing the sky over her neighbourhood.
Beep Beep Beep-Beep
"Whats the sitch, Wade?" She asked and realized Wade had a smile so big that his head looked like it was in 2 parts.
"Ron will be there in a few minutes but first I need to explain a few things... after Ron got the Harley I noticed how good he was with it. I know you don't like him doing them but he does stunts like they are nothing to him, no fear kinda thing, and his control on the bike at any speed is amazing." Wade went on.
Kim got a dreamy look in her eyes and sighed, "Yeah I know Wade, isn't it nice?"
Wade chuckled and proceeded. "Well not only nice but possibly more useful to Team Possible, I sent Ron to try out on a flight simulator one night when he was supposed to be studying... and before you say anything thats why he bombed that English test last month and I have already apologized to him."
"Turns out that Ron is also a natural pilot, he can hang maneuvers that other pilots just can't and seems to have very small issues with g-loading"
"Wade, what does this have to do with me watching the sky... and whats with the blue streak over the town?" Kim asked with a deep curiosity driving her.
WOOSH
At that moment something blazed by her window, the backwash throwing her curtians around the room as she took a shocked step back from the window.
"By the sounds of that Ron will be there very soon, he'll explain the rest." Said Wade with a huge grin. With that the Kimmunicator had gone blank before Kim could ask any more questions.
Her mind was soon too shocked to think of any more questions because outside the window there appeared a strange blue glow and directly in front of her window popped up the most amazing looking aircraft she had ever seen... and RON was flying it!
Waving at her he motioned that he would set it down in the street out front, Kim ran through the house with her parents following out the door having heard the sounds outside.
It was a graceful looking plane, the wing and body of the plane all set within a large delta with two big fins canted outward on the back, the fuselage buldged out on the bottom and top in a way that reminded her of dunes in the desert. Black as the night sky it was set off by large red lightning bolts on the wings. The whole plane was about twice the size of a Learjet and it had a name written in red on the tailfins... VALKYRIE.
It hovered over the street for a moment as the landing gear dropped, appearing as a massive bird of prey on the attack, and then slowly settled to the pavement. After a minute a ramp opened at the rear of the plane, Ron walked out of the aircraft with a grin that defied logic.
"Boo Yah" Ron yelled, jumping higher than anyone had seen him jump before, "What a rush this machine is!"
Ron hauled out his own Kimmunicator as he walked towards Kim and her family, "Wade, the final settings are dead on, the control interface is beautiful and the power is out of this world!"
"Ronald..." James Possible began "What is this thing? I'm a rocket scientist and I don't know about anything like this!" He exclaimed, staring at the sensual looking flying machine sitting on the road.
Ron explained, after saying bye to Wade and putting the device away: "This is a plane Wade had started work on years ago, but Kim never really had need because of all the rides people owed us, plus Wades not really into heavy assembly and construction so when I got the knack to both spin a wrench AND fly he though it was time to revive it... and he let me name it" Ron finished with a smile.
"I remembered in our history class where they talked about the Norse mythology and about the warrior women, the Valkyries, and the name seemed perfect as a chariot for and tribute to my KP."
At that Kim who had been rooted in place by the method of his appearance and explination came back to her senses and walked slowy up to Ron as he stood there in a flight suit, which Kim belatedly thought made him look very sexy, and kissed him hard enough that they fell together to the ground still in that kiss.
James and Anne Possible just looked on in awe, these two could accomplish anything.
Ron heared his Kimmunicator beep as he lay there in pure bliss, holding his Kim as tight as she held him letting everything go into the kiss. He reached down and grabbed the device, flipping it on he saw Wade, boy genious himself, go into pure shock and mumble "I guess she likes it!"
Kim heard that, broke the kiss and responded "It's the best Wade!"
"You say that and you haven't even had a ride yet." Ron smiled at her, got them both to their feet and waved to the Possible parents.
"Mrs. and Mr. Dr. P come on, I know the boys are at their Nana's place, come up for a hop with us!"
He didn't need to ask, Anne possible was already coming back out of the house with her keys in her hand and grabbing James with the other... "I wouldn't miss this for anything Ron" She gushed as James began to laugh and Kim got an embarassed look on her face.
With that Ron took Kim's hand and waved for her folks to follow as he led them to the ramp. He began to explain, "From here we can offload vehicles either to the ground or via airdrop and we can deploy from here on parachute drops, the plane will fly auto until we call it for recovery. There are also rest bunks up there near the ceiling." He pointed to them.
The cargo bay was lined with equipment and now held only Rons Harley. "The middle section contains a washroom with shower, eating/galley area... built to my specs..." Ron smiled. He continued, "The eating area also doubles as a mission planning bay, forward we have our passenger and cockpit area, room for 4 plus pilot and co-pilot."
He directed Anne and James to the first row of seats and showed them how to strap in and then showed them the last suprise. "Even though the cabin and control area has alot of windows Wade didn't think it was enough..." He was cut off by Wade appearing on the viewscreens in the plane.
"Yes," explained Wade, "I wanted to give Ron the best possible situational awareness by placing everything he needed within sight knowing it could save a life in a fight. Therefore I developed the holographic control headsets you have there." Kim and her folks put on theirs and Ron settled in and put on his much more complicated pilots gloves and helmet.
Wade explained, "Ron's system lets him control all functions, the ones the rest of you have on are for view only functions."
With the helmet on the surfaces around them became like ghosts, the could see everything around the plane and they could see Ron now had a large set of holographic controls at his disposal, they watched in awe as his fingers began to dance over the controls. He smiled, "Wade, I think its time to see what she can do."
"I couldn't agree more, I'll monitor from here" Wade dissapeared from the vid screens and the blue glow began in earnest.
"What makes this fly Ron?" James asked.
Ron responded, "Its a compact fusion reactor powering ion thrusters and main engines, this thing is not only atmospheric but can also go orbital and beyond."
James gasped, he couldn't beleive it, NASA was looking for talent in all the wrong places.
With that the plane lept from the ground and even before the gear came up the plane was roaring into the sky with a startling speed. The one readout hovering near Ron told the tale... Mach 1.5!
The plane dropped towards the ground as Ron made for a valley between two large hills shoving the throttles forward, as even Kim went white Ron grinned and sent the plane flying around the left top with yards to spare... "Lets do some low level flying... wait, almost forgot the music!" His fingers flipped to another holo screen and punched up the on board music library, he chose a playlist simply titled Speedrun.
Chapter 2: Speedrun
Lets hear the thoughts, both good and bad folks, both sides of the coin are always welcome.
Any suggestions for songs that Ron might have on this playlist are welcome too... I'm thinking... Talk - Coldplay, Faint - Linkin Park... music that stirs the soul when you feel the need for speed.
Next Chapter: Flying by the seat of his boxers, destruction from above!
