When Worlds Collide

Chapter 3
AN: Alright I had spent a month or so trying to see exactly how I could write this story without completely omitting Kim from it. To me this was a very glaring issue since I don't want to just have this story be about Ron. He's important don't get me wrong but this is call Worlds Collide; I can't just simply focus on one. But too my bitter disappointment it seems that I might have to do that FOR NOW. There might be a couple of throw backs to Kim here and there but for the most part, I say for at least two chapters after this one Ron will be the main focus but don't worry Kim will be the focus of future chapters to come just have to set them up is all. On another note I have to say that this Chapter took me about five months to finish I started it around July and personal things got in the way so every now and then I would have to come back to write it. Well now that that's over lets continue the story.
Japan
Three weeks have passed since Ron had woken up from his coma and one month since his accident and in that month Ron had done a 180, his personality had changed. Anyone who had known the young boy before would not believe they were looking at the same kid. In those three weeks the Stoppables were trying to adjust to his new behavior not sure how to handle this new Ron but also loving every moment about it. Before he would be rude, violent, and just all around rebellious now he was polite, kind, and did what he was told.
Ron had miraculously recovered in the second week after he awoke and was unable to keep himself still; which scared Mrs. Stoppable half to death. Ron at the moment was running around Yamanochi exploring everything he could.
He was dressed in a white student robe in his size that Master Sensei had managed to provide for the Stoppables due to Ron's pervious clothing being covered in blood though this time his parents had managed to convince Ron to hide his tail without much argument on his part he still found it very uncomfortable to keep hidden; while he simply just wanted to get out of his room.
Laughing out loud to himself as he sprinted down the corridors of the school Ron couldn't help himself just the sheer movement of running was enough to excite the young child who at this point had to stay in bed for so long.
"Ronald! Stop! You need to rest!"
Shouted his mother as she desperately tried to keep up with the unreal speed of which her son was showing; running after him in worry of what could happen if he was to exert himself so close after his near death experience. Having far too much fun Ron didn't pay his mother any mind.
As he came to the end of the hall Ron turned the corner but was not aware of his surroundings and violently bumped face first into someone. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! " Managing not to get knock down Ron began jumping up and down as he rubbed the already growing red mark on his forehead to subside the pain he felt from hitting whoever he just knocked down.
"ughh…." Groaned the person who got knocked down; finally taking notice of the person on the ground Ron realized he had bumped into a girl around his age she had short black hair and was dressed in a black version of the same robes he wore but hers weren't kept baggy like Ron's were. Looking at her as she tried to shake off her disorientation from bumping headfirst into Ron; extending his right hand out to help her up Ron apologized.
"Hey, Sorry for hitting you like that" As he said that he began to rub the back of his head with his left hand while a sheepish grin broke across his face. Still not sure what's going on around her the girl stops rubbing her head and looks up at Ron, muttering barely loud enough for Ron to hear her.
"I-It's… you"
"It's me?" He repeated as his eyes began blinking in bewilderment at what she said.
As she blankly stared at him for what seemed like hours Ron began to feel uncomfortable not sure how to feel. "umm…..Ok…" retracting his hand as he stared back at her
"Why is she just staring at me?"
Suddenly, a look of realization flashed across the girl's face and she quickly jumped up to her feet and bowed to Ron "M-My apologizes I did not mean to be s-so rude." This time it was Ron's turn to stare blankly at the girl in front of him even though she couldn't see him due to her bowing her head to him at the moment.
"Huh? Why are you apologizing?" raising an eyebrow at her behavior.
Lifting her head up to look at him "You offered your assistants to me and I rudely had you waiting it was not right and I dishonor myself; Please! I beg for your forgiveness!"
Bowing her head again as she pleaded to Ron. This whole time though Ron was confused beyond understanding not sure how to take any of this. The only thing Ron did was say the first thing that came to mind after he heard her explain herself
"You're kind of dumb aren't you?"
Jolting her head back up to face him, her mouth dropped as a look of absolute shock passed across her face not sure how to feel about what Ron said she was about to speak when he began laughing loudly, pointing at her. "Hahahahaha! Wow! You look so funny" Ron continued laughing for a good minute testing the patients of the girl in front him as her face got red with what Ron could only assume was anger but he didn't care he still thought this whole situation was just hilarious. Puffing her cheeks in anger she was about to yell back at him but stopped as Ron took in a breath from laughing "So hi! I'm Ron Stoppable, Who are you?"
He said never once losing the smile he had on his face. If she was shocked before now she was floored her jaw dropped again after Ron just brushed off everything that had happened as if it never occurred.
"….a..h…ahh..ahh…" muttering incoherently was all that came from her mouth. Tilting his head to the side in confusion "So your name is a..h…ahh..ahh? That's a weird name?" Ron stated a matter of fact shaking her head at this as she got her bearings.
"W-What? No, No that's not my name; my name is….."
"I mean that's kind of a hard name to spell how many letters are there in your name a..h…ahh..ahh? Must really be a pain to write it out huh?"
The whole time Ron was speaking she was trying to chime in to explain that her name wasn't what he thought it was but he would not stop talking for what seemed like forever, he would continue to babble on about things he thought about her name until she couldn't take it any longer and she just snapped.
WHAM!
"OW!"
She had punched Ron hard on top of his head. Grabbing his head as he rubbed it Ron looked at her angrily. "What was that for!?" Glaring at him for his stupidity Yori was never more frustrated in her whole life and knowing her actions were dishonorable; she just didn't care though Ron was annoying her. She yelled back at him giving him her two cents.
"You wouldn't shut up! You just kept blabbing on and on and my name isn't a..h…ahh..ahh that would be stupid my name is Yori"
Losing his anger from being hit not a minute ago Ron let go of his head and looked at the now named Yori in front of him as a 'oh' looked passed across his face.
"Oh… Well it's nice to meet you Yori! I'm Ron Stoppable!" Ron happily sated again smiling the whole time extending his hand once again as if the pervious altercations never happened. Yori Just didn't get this boy one second he was insulting her; the next he was happily introducing himself and the whole time he seemed to be in his own world. Yori was about to speak again when someone beat her to the punch.
"Ronald!" Shouted a very concerned voice from in front of the two children looking up at the women standing behind Ron, Yori noticed that it was in fact Ron's mother and she looked very irked glancing back at Ron she also took notice that he looked very uneasy as if he was scared. Turning his head slowly to face his mother he addressed her nervously.
"H-Hi Mommy"
Narrowing her eyes at her son "Don't you 'Hi mommy' me young man. Didn't I tell you that you need to rest?" looking very disappointed at what his mom said Ron still tried to get out of going back to his room "But Mom! It's so boring! And I feel fine."
Not allowing him to talk his way out of this Mrs. Stoppable puts her hands on Ron's shoulders and gets down to his eye level whispering softly to him so that Yori doesn't hear what she says to him.
"Ronald, Honey, please you shouldn't be out running around like this you need to rest….." stopping mid-sentence to look at her son begging him with her eyes for him to listen to her, noticing the look in her eyes a look of guilt flashes across his face. "….Please" lowering his head in shame Ron slowly nods to his mother in defeat. "OK, Mom" sighing in relief Mrs. Stoppable quickly embraced Ron in thanks, taking his hand she began leading Ron back to their room.
This whole time not once did Mrs. Stoppable ever acknowledge the young girl standing there; staring at them in confusion at their interaction. Once they had turn the corner Yori just continued to stand there not sure what she should do or think about the whole situation, this boy who not five minutes ago had insulted her, turned from a kid on a sugar high one second to a nurtured puppy in the next. He also seems to keep shocking her no matter what he does directly or indirectly.
Meanwhile outside of Yamanochi Mr. Stoppable was out walking through a huge mass of vines and trees, he had gone off that morning in search for the reason him and his wife first took this trip to Japan. It was already mid-afternoon and he had to climb up down and walk for a good four hours to look for the ship their son landed in.
Granted his son had seemed to be making a change that he so longed for but he still felt that this might be the only chance that could bring at least some understanding of what his son was capable of.
After Ron's accident Mr. Stoppable didn't have the heart to tell his wife of what the doctors had informed him of that Ron's injuries were fatal and that he would only live for at the latest the next two day. The shock that followed when he not only survived passed those two days but seemed to make a full recovery in only two weeks this had not only stunned him but all of the doctors in that mysterious school.
"What exactly are you Ronald" Mr. Stoppable muttered to himself as he finally reached his destination. Pushing through the last of the plants covering his view Mr. Stoppable suddenly stops in shock at the site in front of him. Looking around the area in which he had years ago hidden the space ship his son had crashed landed in.
"What…the….hell"
To his disbelief the ship was not only missing, the entire area looked to be giant excavation site tractors, all sorts of equipment were laid out around the entire landscape. All of them were centered on the exact location of where he had hidden his son's space ship. Not being able to comprehend what was going on Mr. Stoppable just stands there in shock for another minute or so, until the severity of the situation finally hits him full force. Quickly he ducks behind a tree to keep himself hidden just in case someone was nearby
"Oh, no no no no" hysterically whispering to himself Mr. Stoppable slowly begins walking backwards away from the clearing and without uttering a single word more he turns around sprints off back to the school. This is bad, this is really bad! What the hell was I thinking? Of course someone was going to find the ship. I have to hurry and get back to my family god knows what would happen if whoever found the ship finds out that Ron is anywhere nearby we could be in huge trouble if they find us.
Walking into their guest room Mrs. Stoppable pulls in a still begrudging Ron through the door. Though he had agreed to his mom's request he was still fighting her every step of the way. "ughh, Mom! Seriously I'm fine!" whinnying, as his mom drags him past the living room section of their guest room and into his bedroom "Ronald, stop struggling" Pleading with her son Mrs. Stoppable soon gets fed up, picking Ron up and carrying him just so that he won't drag his feet and hold her up like he was.
Going over to the far corner of the room where Ron's bed was laid up against the wall. Mrs. Stoppable lays Ron down in his bed; the covers were already pulled back since she had not touched it after Ron decided to run off. Looking at her son's face as she tucks him in Mrs. Stoppable notices the look of annoyance that is plastered on his face. Ron crosses his arms and pouts at his mother; this only makes her smile at him.
Awe! Despite how worried I am of him I can never help but think how adorable he is.
"Ah the innocence of a child is always such a wondrous thing to see"
Startled Mrs. Stoppable spins around to come face to face with Master Sensei who is standing at the entrance to Ron's room, lifting his hands up to show Mrs. Stoppable that he means no harm, resting her right hand on her chest while letting out a breath of air.
"Oh, you scared me there; I didn't hear you come in. I thought me and my son were alone"
"My apologizes, I did not mean to startle you Mrs. Stoppable. I had merely wanted to check up on you and your family."
Calming down from her scare Mrs. Stoppable nods in understanding.
"Thank you, that's very kind of you sir. I know that me and my husband haven't had the chance to thank you for all you've done for us I can never repay you for saving our son. I know that a thank you is far from what I owe you but it's really all I can offer." She finishes with a downcast look. Smiling at her "Oh, think nothing of it Mrs. Stoppable I believe that anybody in my situation would have done the same. After all who would willingly allow a child to suffer and die like that?"
"I suppose your right. But that still doesn't change the fact that we owe you immensely for what you did" Looking back up at him midsentence; she pleads with her eyes for Sensei to understand her. Stroking his beard Sensei ponders about Mrs. Stoppable's need to pay her 'debits'. It's at this point that Sensei realizes that there are only two members of the Stoppable family currently present.
"Where is Mr. Stoppable?"
A surprised look quickly flashes across Mrs. Stoppable's face before being replaced with and uneasy one. "W-Well he stepped out…" Cursing herself for sounding so hesitant. Mrs. Stoppable tries to come up with an excuse for her husband's absents. "What do I tell him?!"
Earlier that day - Dawn
"You're actually going?" whispering to her husband as they both step out of the room their son is sleeping in Mr. Stoppable helps usher his wife out just before closing the door behind him. "Yeah I have to" Walking over to the guest living room. Mrs. Stoppable takes a seat and looks none the more pleased about what her husband is suggesting. "But is it really necessary? I mean Ronald is much better now we should just forget the whole thing and go back home."
Shaking his head "No, you're wrong remember we still don't know anything about Ronald. What's to say that his behavior was the worst thing about him? You said it yourself he isn't normal. No child should be able to eat like that or be so strong….." Pausing to allow his words to sink into his wife Mr. Stoppable continues.
"Also we still don't know why he has a tail and why when anyone grabs it, it causes him so much pain"
"Okay but what do I say if someone asks me where you are?"
"Just tell them I went…."
"Exploring, he went exploring. He said that he felt a bit stuffy just staying in her for so long and wanted to see the mountain side once before we left."
Sensei stares at Mrs. Stoppable clearly not believing her story. Just as he was about to speak, His eyebrows raised in slight surprise at the sight happening just behind Mrs. Stoppable. Ron had decided again that he had enough of just sitting down and doing nothing and was now performing a hand stand on his bed. "Amazing to believe that this child would not only recover from his injuries but to be so agile so soon if at all is beyond remarkable" 'Walking' forward on his bed Ron continues to try and entertain himself but in his ignorance he forgets to look ahead to see were the end of the bed is and falls off the front of the bed
"Wow!" falling head first to the ground Ron is quick enough to react to his fall and braces himself. Stretching out his arms he manages not to fall on his head, but as he caught himself so did the wooden post for his bed. As he fell his pants got caught at the end of his fall pulling them down around his knees revealing his tail to the entire world to see.
All sensei could do was stare, and stare he did he could not comprehend the sight that was right in front of him. He opened his mouth to speak once, twice, three times and not once was he able to find the words for what he was seeing. Just as he was about to finally be able to utter something Ron quickly pulls his pants back up and flips right side up. Turning towards the adults; Ron smiles in innocence. Sensei doesn't know whether or not Ron was aware of what he just saw or not and Mrs. Stoppable didn't see anything either since when she looked back at her son he was already standing on his feet.
"Ronald, get back in bed I told you already you need to rest" As Mrs. Stoppable scolds Ron for getting out of bed Sensei begins to run over what he just saw in his head over and again. "Mrs. Stoppable, Please excuse me I see that I am bothering you from having to take care of your son I will take my leave now" Bowing as he said this Sensei doesn't wait for a response from Mrs. Stoppable he just quickly leaves just as he came in. Confused by the old man's behavior Ron just utters what Mrs. Stoppable was thinking
"That was weird"
A couple hours later Mrs. Stoppable is leaving Ron's room. Closing the door behind her softly, after hours of what seemed to her as a battle for life and death she finally managed to come out victorious over her son. Ron would just not want to rest and Mrs. Stoppable spent so much time and energy forcing him to sleep. After all that hard work though she can allow a feeling of satisfaction to wash over her, but life isn't as kind; just as she closed the door to Ron's room another one burst open. The front door, it was Mr. Stoppable who barged in looking paler than a ghost; his breathing was hard and ragged he was also covered in sweat as if he had ran a marathon. Mrs. Stoppable was shocked into silence at the sight of her husband. Waiting for him to collect himself Mrs. Stoppable tries to think of a reason for her husband's physical state.
"Where's Ronald?" he gasps out still not having caught his breath. Taking a second or two to realize her husband ask her a question she shakes her head to get rid of the cobwebs that is her mind going into overload.
"He's asleep in his room why?"
Taking in one final gasp of breath he finally stops breathing hard, but just the same a grim expression becomes etched onto his face. Not responding to his wife he walks past her and begins heading to Ron's room.
"Honey what's wrong?" Mrs. Stoppable says as she follows her husband down the hall to their son's room. As they walk she takes a glance at her husband's back to see that his shirt is completely drenched in sweat from his back all the way down to his pants.
"Why are you all sweaty? Honey are you even listing to me?" Still staying completely silent Mr. Stoppable pushes forward to his destination. As he arrives at the door to his son's room he quickly latches onto the door knob and throws the door wide open. Searching the whole room with his eyes, they finally land on the small child lying asleep in the far corner of the room. Ron is laying spread out on his bed with the covers thrown on the floor it seemed as if he tosses and turns in his sleep a lot. His breathing is steady as he lays oblivious to the world around him.
Sighing in relief Mr. Stoppable steps out of the room and closes the door softer then when he opened it. Turing around Mr. Stoppable comes face to face with his angry wife. Crossing her arms she frowns at her husband "Okay, let's try this again. What was all that about, and why are you coming back her all sweaty and looking like you just witnessed a murder?" Staring at his wife his eyes begin to dart back and forth from left to right. Not sure if he should worry her but knowing he is going to have to tell her.
Sighing once again, Mr. Stoppable leans back against his son's bedroom door. His head resting against the door lazily, looking about as far away as concerned as possible but anything could be further from the truth. Contemplating on what he should tell his wife.
"What do I say if I tell her she's going to freak out, who ever found Ronald's ship is going to be looking for an 'alien' and what if they find him, but maybe I'm just overreacting there's no way they could possibly know that Ronald came in that ship, but what if I'm wrong what if staying here is a big mistake. No staying here is a huge mistake it far too much of a risk not only for Ron but for us as well."
Resounding himself on what to tell his wife Mr. Stoppable looks her straight in the eyes "Pack your things we have to get out of here" Shocking his wife Mr. Stoppable could see that this was not what his wife expected to hear from her husband. Being thrown off by what she was just told to do Mrs. Stoppable tries to gain some understanding to her husband's strange behavior for the past couple of minutes.
"What do you mean? Pack our things why what happen?" Uncrossing her arms she takes a step forward to lay a hand on Mr. Stoppable's forearm.
Taking her hand in his Mr. Stoppable tells her softly "We have to get out of here, somebody…..Somebody found Ronald's ship"
Mrs. Stoppable's eyes nearly popped out of her head after she heard her husband's revelation. "W-What?"
"We have to get out of here Ronald is in danger that's why we need to pack and leave as soon as possible"
Realization finally dawned on Mr. Stoppable of the severity of their situation, nodding in understanding she goes straight into action "Okay, I'll start packing let me wake Ronald up so…."
"No!" Shocking her into silence Mr. Stoppable continues
"Don't wake Ronald up; he's far too active to take out silently we can't let anybody know why we are leaving let alone that we are"
"So we just let him sleep?"
"Yes, if we wake Ronald up he's just going to ask questions and make a scene better to just have him not know what's going on than risk someone else finding out what we are doing"
It took some more convincing on Mr. Stoppable's part but he finally managed to convince his wife not wake Ron up. It took Mr. Stoppable one hour in total to get not only her things packed but her son's and a bit of her husband's things for their escape.
"So how are we going to get Ronald out of here without waking him?" Mrs. Stoppable asks her husband as he finishes with the last of his things.
"Easy, just carry him in that huge baby carrier you bought when we first got here"
Frowning at what her husband suggested "Are you crazy?! The last time I carried Ronald in that piece of…. of crap! He nearly died. No that is out of the question!"
Blinking at his wife's reaction Mr. Stoppable not know what to say "Honey…..Ronald's accident was… well just that an accident I don't think we can blame the carrier for him climbing out of the carrier."
"Oh so then who is to blame huh?!"
"Nobody it was an accident I just said that"
"Well you don't sound too convincing to me, if you don't think it was that things fault for not securing Ronald then it sounds like you're blaming me!"
"What! I didn't say that!"
"But you're thinking it, aren't you?" By this point Mrs. Stoppable is near tears and seems to be having a difficult time holding herself together.
Walking over to his wife he pulls her into a hug as she allows the tears of guilt to flow, the ones she's been holding in for weeks over the near loss of her only child. Sobbing uncontrollably she tries to at least settle herself down but fails to do so.
"shhh It's alright, it's alright it's not your fault" Mr. Stoppable says as he rubs his wife's back in a soothing motion
Shaking her head in his shoulder "Yes it is, I'm his mother I'm supposed to take care of him and I nearly got him killed"
"It was an accident, you couldn't have done anything even if you tried we both know Ronald is a stubborn child he would have found a way out of that bag one way or another"
"I still should have done something….."
"It's alright I mean he's alive isn't he?" pulling her out of his embrace so that he could look her in the eye.
Giving him a quick nod as she wipes her nose she agrees "Yeah he is"
"That's all that matters right now, after all you began to really hover over him after he woke up like he was a fragile piece of glass" smilingly playfully at his wife look of indignation as he says that
"I have not!"
Scoffing in reply "Oh yeah then why is it you wouldn't let do anything without you there to tell him 'be careful'"
"He was recovering from a near death experience!"
Giving her a pointed look Mr. Stoppable crosses his arms over his chest as he tells Mrs. Stoppable the best he can without breaking out into a fit of laughter at her expense "I don't see how eating soup requires him to 'be careful'"
"It was hot! What if he burned his tongue?"
That was the last straw for Mr. Stoppable after she said that he just couldn't hold it in anymore and begins chuckling, which soon turned into small laughing all the way up to full blown laughter that was hard to sound anything but mocking. Glaring at her husband as he laughs at her she blushes in embarrassment at how crazy she sounded. This only makes it worse as her expression make Mr. Stoppable laugh even harder.
She tries to fight it but slowly she begins to feel herself have to stifle to hold in her laugher she turns her head to the side as she covers her mouth. But eventually she can't hold it in any longer and bursts out into a full blown laughter along her husband. It takes a good minute or two for them to finally calm down. Once they do though its back to the serious conversation of what their plan is for getting Ron out of Yamanochi without him or anyone else knowing.
"We have to use the carrier; it's the only sure way he won't wake up while we're walking"
Staring down at the ground Mrs. Stoppable grudgingly accepts "Yes I know"
Placing a hand on her shoulder Mr. Stoppable tries to confront her one last time "Hey don't worry it'll be alright this time we'll make sure he doesn't wiggle his way out without us knowing ok?"
"OK"
A couple hours later the entire Stoppable family was walking down the very same path that a few weeks ago lead them to encounter Master Sensei. Mrs. Stoppable was fidgeting constantly not at all confident in the carrier bag that Ron lay sleeping once again. Every now and then she would stop to take worried glances behind her to see if her son was not attempting to make another escape.
"Would you stop worrying, nothing is going to happen he's fast asleep" Stopping as to not get to far ahead of his wife Mr. Stoppable turns around to give his wife a bored expression.
Glaring back at her husband Mrs. Stoppable huffs in annoyance, choosing not to answer him and rather just continue walking along the path. Mr. Stoppable still taking up the lead begins to have problems continuing down the path, looking up at the now setting sun he curses under his breath for not thinking of bringing a flash light or something to illuminate the darkness.
Being so caught up in trying to get out of Japan as quickly as possible, getting Ronald to safety was his main priority but in doing so he forgot some important things and now it seemed those mistakes will cost him valuable time. Walking through the last remaining rays of sunlight being careful; the darker it got to not trip over the rough terrain of the mountain path.
Once the sun had completely set it became far too difficult for either Mr. or Mrs. Stoppable to see where they were going. "This is bad; I can't see a damn thing in front of anymore" reaching out her hand in front of her to the voice of her husband she tried but fail to find him, making grabs at him but only finding air. "Honey this is ridiculous; how are we going to get down the mountain?" she said a bit of freight creeping into her voice.
"Well…"
Before Mr. Stoppable could finish his thoughts he was interrupted by Ron deciding at that moment to wake up. "ahhhhh!" Yawning loudly Ron tried to stretch his arms finding them completely constricted by the carrier he was currently trapped in. Moving around in the carrier Ron tried to find his way out but not quite sure how considering he just woke up in pitch blackness.
"Mom, Dad where are you?" Ron mumbled sounding almost terrified.
"We're right here honey, you're riding in Mommy's bag remember the one I got to take you with me?" she said over her shoulder so that Ron knows that she's right behind him. Sighing in relief Ron tries to get out of the carrier bag again but this time while asking his mom if he could.
"Mom can you let me out I don't wanna be in this bag anymore?" Pleading with his mom as he tried to focus his eyes behind him to try and make out his mother. Shaking her head "I don't think that would be such a good idea Ronald its pitch black out hear and you could get lost."
"Awe but mom I won't walk away I promise I'll stay right next to you I swear" Whining to his mother in a plea to gain some freedom from the constricting bag he currently finds himself in. Walking back towards his wife and son Mr. Stoppable has his hands stretched out in front of him as to not bump into his wife. Managing to find them in the darkness he pats around until he finds his wife's face and once he does he walks around her so that he could be face to face with Ron.
"Son you know, you should listen to your mother." Pausing to let his words sink into Ron's head. "You know she worries a lot about you; don't you think maybe we shouldn't have her worry so much?"
Chewing on his lip Ron tries not to feel guilty over being so selfish. He knows how worried his mom has been over everything that's happened to him in the past couple of weeks. "But dad I promise I won't do anything I won't even let go of mommies hand, I'll be a good boy I swear" Making one last plea to his father Ron hopes he would be able to earn his freedom if he promises to not let go of his mom.
"hmmm"
Pondering over what his son just said Mr. Stoppable begins to weigh the pros and cons of letting his son down even for a second. Well it's not like he can run off on us he's just as blind as we are.
He thinks this over for about another couple seconds quickly coming to his decision "Alright son, we'll let you down"
"What?" Mrs. Stoppable almost shouted going bug eyed at what she had just heard her husband say. Spinning around to face him even though all she could really see was his silhouette. "What do you mean 'we'll let you down' are you insane?"
Inwardly groaning as he knew that his wife was not going to let this go Mr. Stoppable mentally prepared himself for this possibly becoming a shouting contest. "Honey, it'll be okay like Ronald said he won't let go of your hand and if he does he goes back in the carrier right Ronald?"
"Yup" Ron nodes' in agreement feeling happier by the second as it seems he's going to be let out. "I promise mom I won't let go". Flabbergasted at being put on the spot Mrs. Stoppable is clearly not alright with her family's suggestions but finds herself caving in.
"Alright, He can be let out but if he lets go of me for even a second he's going back in the bag" speaking more towards her husband then Ron, Mrs. Stoppable also lays a heavy glare on her husband letting him know that 'this isn't over ' and promising to have a fight about it later.
As soon Ron is let out the Mr. and Mrs. Stoppable begin to talk over there current situation "We have to keep moving it might be dark but we'll manage" Mr. Stoppable ordered as he began to walk down the path.
Mrs. Stoppable followed slowly making sure not to rush her son, still feeling as though he were made of glass and would break any moment. "Come on Mom, Dad's getting ahead" Ron whined, now him being the one to hurry his mother. "Ronald calm down we can't even see anything it's not safe to rush"
As she finished saying this though a dim sliver light slowly began to illuminate everything around them. Not fully but enough for them to make out the important things in front of their path. Mrs. Stoppable turned around to see where this light was coming from; to her surprise it came from the now clearly present full moon that hovered above them all.
"I've never seen the moon so bright before, look Ronald doesn't it look pretty?" she asked not taking her eyes off of the moon still quite surprised about the light. A couple of seconds pass as she waits for her son to respond to her question by this time Mr. Stoppable had already returned back to meet them also caught by surprise at the unusually bright moon.
"Ronald?" turning to face her son, Ron was standing dead still head raised up staring at the moon his eyes wide open, mouth half closed. Mrs. Stoppable tired again "Ronald?" this time stepping forward reaching out a hand to touch him. All of a sudden the front of Ron's cloths exploded forward catching Mr. and Mrs. Stoppable by surprise, taking in deep heavy breaths both his parents began to notice that something was not right with their son.
Shocked at what they were seeing Ron's eyes had become blood shot they almost seemed to be glowing red. His teeth and finger nails grew larger and thicker as Ron began to heave louder as if he were drowning. Hair began to sprout all over him; his now exposed tail looked like that of a cornered wild animal getting ready to defend itself.
Completely shock into silence the only thing the Stoppables could do was back away from their son. Not a single word was uttered by both parents. All they did was stare.
By this point Ron had begun to grow in size his cloths no longer fitting him they were torn away just like the front part was. Larger and larger Ron grew soon he had lost all recognizable features that once made him human. Now he appeared closer kin to King Kong than anything else.
Roaring into the night Ron now a giant ape stood at about 200ft tall beating his chest light a wild animal. Both the Stoppables were in complete shock neither of them able to move at all. Mr. Stoppable was the first to break out of his shock "Honey we have to get out of here!" looking at his wife who still frozen in place just staring at the monkey that was now their son ignored him and began mumbling incoherently to herself.
"Ronald….My baby…..This can't be real" walking towards the ape beating his chest.
"Ronald…Ronald….Ronald…" her voice never going above a whisper she reached out to touch him still in utter shock at what just happened.
Although Mrs. Stoppable was only mumbling to herself Ron had managed to hear her clearly with his now super hearing. Searching for the noise he manages to find his mother right below him near his feet. Staring down at her as she looked back up at him Mrs. Stoppable looks straight into his eyes to see if she can see if her boy is still in there. Staring at her for a good minute the features on Ron's face soften as he stares at his mother. Her noticing this is relieved.
"He recognize me, my baby boy does"
"What are you doing? Get away!" shouted Mr. Stoppable as his wife continued to advance towards their son. Gaining her voice again Mrs. Stoppable responds "He won't hurt us, he knows I'm his mother" turning to smile at her husband as she lays a hand on Ron's leg she pats him laughing.
"See"
All of a sudden Ron roared violently as he raised his fist into the air. "No!" shouted Mr. Stoppable as he rushed forward to try and save his wife. Staring in shock up at Ron as he raised his fist high above the air, all Mrs. Stoppable could think of was.
"Ronald"
Even when her husband reached her and tried to pull her away she wouldn't move; the same thing just kept repeating over and over again
"Ronald"
Even when he brought his fist down and crushed both his parents to death the last words that passed through her mind
"Ronald"
Chapter End:
AN: Wow this took FOREVER! For all of those who were patiently waiting for an update I am truly sorry for taking so long. This chapter would have been posted well around mid-September but I had some issues come up. Had to switch Jobs about five times in a period of two months and with the holidays coming up had no time to really write anything that I felt personally was good enough.
But hey I managed to gain some free time in the last two days and finish this chapter for you guys. As far is it goes to when another update will come I can't really say but know that I do plan to continue this story for all of those who want me too. I also hope you stay with me because I know there are a million other much more capable writers then I but if you do stick with me I hope not to disappoint you all well until next time. Don't forget to review and comment or make any complaints I'm all ears, take care.
