Kim Possible: The Dark Side- chapter six
Kim had finished her speech and she was now getting ready to leave. All the guards and servants began wishing her luck and hoped they would see her again someday.
Captain Barkin approached Kim and enveloped her in a big hug that made Kim gasp for air, "You will always be like a daughter to me Miss Possible," he said through tears.
"Thank you Captain; I trust everything to you," Kim replied.
"Don't worry Miss Possible, we'll all be here; I'll monitor anything unusual and relay messages to you. If you need any help at all, I still have connections with my friends in the military."
"Don't worry," Ron assured him, "My team will take good care of her."
Barkin loomed over Ron's small body as he bent down and in a small, but tough voice said, "If anything happens to her I'm putting you responsible, got that Stoppable?"
Ron gulped and reassured everyone that Kim was safe; for now at least. As they lifted off Kim waved goodbye to everything, her old life, friends, and title.
"Don't look so gloom Kim, you'll still be able to see them again," Tara said smiling.
"Yeah, if we don't get captured first," Bonnie mumbled under her breath, but since she thought of it everyone except Kim shot her a glare. Bonnie and others retreated to various parts of the ship as Kim was led to her new room by Ron.
Ron could sense Kim's nervousness and fear of being in this mess. In an attempt to comfort her he tries to talk with her, "Kim, I know this must be very new to you, but I…" His words were cut off and replaced with yelps as he tumbles down a flight of stairs. He was so busy trying to talk to Kim that he forgot that the quarters are down a floor so he completely missed the stairs.
"Ron, are you alright?!" Kim gasped as she quickly ran down and helped him up.
"Yeah KP, I…" Ron stopped again because he felt a small draft by his legs. He looked down to see that his pants were gone leaving only his polka dotted boxers, "Awww Man!!" Ron groaned as he saw his ripped pants flowing against the stairs like a flag; proudly showing Ron's embarrassment.
Ron felt that he had bad luck, now Kim was worried about him, on top of everything else, but to his surprise he hears her laughing. He turns around to confirm Kim's hands holding her stomach as she tries to contain herself, but is met with failure. Ron smiles at her and he too begins to give off small giggles, which are followed by loud bursts of laughter.
Luckily no one heard them, which would've been really embarrassing. After they got that out of their system Ron showed Kim her new room. It was small, compared to her old one, but was very homey and comfortable enough for anyone to live in.
"Thank you Ron, for cheering me up," Kim said as she put her bag under her soft bed and sitting on it.
"I don't want you to feel like a prisoner here KP," Ron replied sitting next to her.
"I like it when you call me KP, it makes me feel at home," Kim sighed.
"With Barkin on Earth, and Hana at the Jedi Academy we have two sets of eyes and ears which will give us more information as we travel. We're going to find out who's after you Kim," Ron promised.
Kim smiled at him, but remained silent for a few moments before speaking, "Ron, I know I'll begin training as a Jedi, but I've always been curious as to why exactly you and the others left the Academy. At first I thought it was because of your relationship with Yori and that the others joined because of their beliefs, but now I'm sensing that that isn't entirely true."
Ron knew this would come, he knew she was too smart to believe all the gossip and rumors; besides since she was going to be a Jedi she needed to know the truth. Ron took a few deep breaths and began to tell her the true reasons why they left the Academy.
"It's true my relationship with Yori wasn't the primary reason we left, but what I did was much worse. About two years back Yori was one of the best students at the Academy, every master wanted her to be their padawan, but she always refused. I was a nuisance to many of the masters, they thought I was a lost cause and were considering expelling me. Then Yori stepped in and volunteered to train me; everyone thought it was a fool's errand, but Yori didn't listen," he paused for a moment to get his emotions back at in check, then he continued, "She and I had an attraction to each other and the two of us soon fell into a relationship; we knew that if any of the teachers found out they would separate us forever. We only told our closest friends, Wade and the others. I told Hana as well since she was my sister, but my feelings for her got us in trouble."
"What happened?" Kim asked excitedly.
Ron answered, "One day out in the courtyard a gang of bullish Jedi were picking on Yori; the leader was harassing her, in more ways than one. She was always collect and calm, believing that if she ignored them that they would go away, but the leader continued his sexual advances until I couldn't take it anymore. I told him to get lost, but that only made it worse; he took it as a challenge and activated his lightsaber to dual me. In my anger and thinking only of showing everyone, especially Yori, that I was strong I engaged him. A small crowd had gathered, but my mind only focused on him. Yori attempted to stop us, but was answered with a smack across the face; my emotions exploded. I came at him with every intention to cut his head off, but at that time I was still very inexperienced so he easily defeated my, but he wasn't done."
Kim continued to listen, she knew this was hard for Ron to say and she knew she could never tell anyone else outside of the Defiant, but Ron's story had everything a good book needed.
"After disarming me he was about to finish me off, for good, but then Yori's sabers came out and severed his arm. He yelled in pain, but that only made him angrier; he picked up his weapon with his other arm and came flailing towards us; I was desperate and scared so I attempted to flee, but as Yori and I turned to run he tripped and fell on top of me; and in that instance my lightsaber accidentally activated and skewered him. His death was a shock to everyone and Yori and I were put in prison. The guy's father, who was a high-ranking politician, influenced the Council's decision. We were convicted of murder and were sentenced to death."
"WHY?!" Kim exclaimed, "It was self-defense, people in the crowd saw that and they would have told the council."
"The father either bribed or threatened anyone who might testify against him and his influence is felt everywhere. We didn't stand a chance."
Kim began fuming, she thought the aspect of a dirty politician was horrible and this guy made her sick, but then she realized, "But you're here; how did you get out?"
"Let me tell you," Ron explained, "Our execution was to be a secret; Jedi never executed their own kind, so this was scandalous. Yori and I were terrified, but felt some happiness that at least we were together, but as we were being lead to the chopping block our friends rescued us and we escaped on the Defiant. Hana wasn't aware of the rescue, but after hearting about it she wanted to join us; I refused. I wanted my sister to stay to help us with info, and to protect her. With her ear next to the Council's we hear any major Jedi activity and are able to see what they are doing. The one thing, however; that shocked us was that the Order never sent anyone after us. We were sure they would send an army to get us back, but it turned out that the Order thought that a bunch of parentless teenagers wouldn't survive in space, but here we are."
"So that's why at the Senate meeting when the Chancellor said he would have the Order reward you, you were so quick to say no," Kim deduced.
"Correct, as far as they know we're dead; only Hana and a small amount of Jedi know that we still exists. Who knows maybe in time we can go back; that evil father died a few months ago, and most of the Jedi have completely forgotten about it, but right now we all like where we stand." After finishing Ron handed Kim her new Jedi robes.
"When do I start training?" Kim asked.
"In one hour; report to the training room, Brick will be there for your first stage of becoming a Jedi."
As Ron was about to leave Kim's voice called back to him, "Ron, thank you for telling me; I know it wasn't easy to talk about and I trust you," she said sympathetically.
"I'm going to find out who's after you KP; I promise," then Ron left Kim alone to change.
Kim scurried to the large training room where Brick stood waiting for her. She gave him a short bow, out of respect and waited for his response.
"You clean up nicely Kim; I think you should watch out, the other guys might try to get you," he joked.
"Heh Heh," Kim laughed, but felt some tension for some reason, "Um Brick?"
"Hmm?" he asked.
"Is it just me or do you feel a pressure in here?" she asked.
Brick paused for a moment, sensing Kim's uneasiness, and then he rolled his eyes and in a bellowing voice called out, "BONNIE!!! IF YOU EVER WANT TO EVEN HAVE A CHANCE OF HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH ME YOU WILL LEAVE…NOW!!!!"
As soon as he finished Kim's uneasiness faded and the room felt calm again, "Does she always eavesdrop on you?"
"Only when Tara and I train together, but I guess she thinks you're competition; my apologies," he replied.
"No please I'm sure I can convince Bonnie to trust that I am no threat," Kim hoped.
"Alright, for your first lesson of Jedi training we will condition your body for physical stamina and endurance," he explained, "Right now you seem to be in top physical condition, but that means nothing when you are a Jedi; now as a demonstration I want you to hit me as hard as you can."
Kim was surprised at this and questioned him, "Are you serious?"
"Very, in fact I want you to lay several punches on me; and not just the face target my legs, arms, chest, even my groin. Don't stop until I tell you to, and above all don't hold back."
With that he assumed a calm standing position and gave her the signal. Kim's punches were swift and accurate, but didn't seem to be affecting Brick at all. The more punches she laid on him the more frustrated she got; soon she was punching out of anger than anything else.
After at least fifty punches to every inch of his body Brick told Kim to stop, she collapsed due to fatigue.
"You see? I am not hurt in any way and you are ready to fall apart," Brick laughed.
"Huff…Huff…How?" Kim finally managed to get out.
"I fused the Force within my own body empowering me and making me stronger. This is your first lesson: Never underestimate your opponent; even for a second, or you're dead."
"Yes, Master," Kim replied.
"Don't call any of us that Kim, here we are the masters, and the students; we teach each other and train each other to make us stronger; and in doing so has made us stronger friends. We aren't your masters, we are your friends and friends don't call other friends Master," Brick explained.
"Yes, Brick I understand." Kim replied.
"Good then let us continue."
The sky may have been starry out, but you couldn't tell that it was already ten at night. Kim lay on her bed, exhausted from hours of training with everyone. After Brick's conditioning she met Bonnie to help her knowledge of the force and help her control it. Then Wade taught her how to fly the Defiant as well as how to fix it and work on it. Ron taught her basic lightsabering and Felix taught her advanced, almost unorthodox, methods of using a lightsaber plus a blaster. Tara taught how to use medicine and use the force to heal someone. All of this would take time to master, but now Kim had a taste of Jedi training and she respected them even more.
Ron entered her room and giggled a little when he saw her exasperated body sprawled out on the bed, "Tired?"
"Very," she replied, "I never knew Jedi's trained this hard; and this was only one day," she whined.
"We don't have a lot of time so we need to give you as much training as we can before those people find you," Ron explained.
"Where are we going?" she asked; knowing that all ships needed to stop at ports and re-supply.
"We're stopping at small space ports for food and provisions, but our main destination is Tatooine."
"What's there?" she asked.
"Our informant, she knows what happens around the galaxy more than we do; plus she's a bounty hunter; we'll need her expertise to help us," Kim gave him a concerned look since bounty hunters were usually scum, "Don't worry she's a friend; she's been our contact since the beginning," Ron assured her.
Kim calmed down a little and decided to retire for the night; another day of grueling training on the way.
Down a dark hallway Drakken walked as he heard loud noises coming from the gym. As he was about to open the door an armored trooper crashed through the thick metal doors. He groaned as Drakken walked around him and saw Shego with her apprentice surrounded by dozens of broken and battered bodies.
"Enjoying yourselves?" he asked.
"Quite, I was teaching my new apprentice on how to properly dispatch weaklings such as these," Shego grinned.
"Yes, she is a good teacher," the apprentice answered in a scratchy voice.
Drakken called Shego over, "How is she responding?" he asked.
"So far she is doing well, she still doesn't have all of her memories, but when she sees her friends and how they've treated her she'll follow our cause."
"Don't get too hasty; it's only been two days," Drakken reminded her.
"Oh, right when she sees what they are going to do," Shego's wicked smile returned as she activated her lightsaber and challenged her apprentice. The apprentice activated her twin lightsabers and lunged towards her new master. Drakken left before he got caught in the crossfire.
The apprentice didn't know much about these people, but for some odd reason she liked their viciousness and power. Her lust for it drives her to be stronger and kill anyone who gets in the way, but at the same time she keeps seeing faces of people that she's never met; or has she met them already? The blonde on seems to pop out at her, she feels attracted to him and when she dreamed she imagined herself with him, but who he was; she had no clue.
Darth Shego's skills were undeniable, but the apprentice wanted more; she wanted invincibility, and she'd do anything to get it. Cont…
