Chapter 6: The first clash
"I still don't get how you managed to wreck the last cell phone on this ship," one of the pirates scolded his comrade.
"Look, it just slipped out of my hand, it's not my fault that happened above the pool."
"Quiet you two," the leader snapped, "thanks to you we now have to face whatever they send at us. Let's at least make sure we got everything valuable from the passengers."
Two more man joined the three while carrying a large sack, "We got all the jewelry, and it made the trip already really profitable," one told.
"But that muscular young man, I think he is the owner, has this strange jar," the other said while he fiddled with the mentioned jar, "and it appears to be locked somehow."
"NO!" Senor Senior Junior, or Junior in short, ran over to the five pirates, "You cannot have that, I need it."
The leader pushed Junior away, "I'm sure you do, open it up."
Scared by the pirate leader, Junior opened the jar. Immediately one of the other goons grabbed at what was inside it.
"Ew," he pulled his hand, now all sticky and slimy, out of the jar, "What is this stuff?"
"My Le Goop!" Junior cried as he tried to save as much of the hair gel as possible.
"We've got a boat coming," the leader snapped everybody to attention, "round up the passengers and the crew."
Shortly after, Kim and Ron boarded the cruise ship together with the negotiators.
The pirate leader frowned, "Apparently there has been a problem with communications, but there is no need for you to have brought Kim Possible into this."
"We were in the neighborhood," Kim smirked, "and we wanted to say hi to Bonnie."
"You know her?" the leader pointed at the brunette, "I'm sorry for you," he added after Kim nodded.
"What are your demands?" the leader of the negotiator team asked.
"We want ten million dollar for the passengers and the crew," the pirate leader said.
"And we keep the ship," one of the other pirates told.
"What? That's so not going to…" Kim started, but was interrupted by Junior's whine; "no, that's my full month's allowance."
"…Know what, ten million is fine by me," Kim shrugged.
The negotiators team had been granted a much larger amount by Senor Senior Senior for the freedom of his son; the old billionaire had urged them to have his son set free at any costs, and since the ordeal had gone over without violence they decided to agree.
As the passengers and the crew were crossing to the other ship, Bonnie smirked at Kim, "You know this is a cruise ship, right? You could have dressed up a bit," she said, looking at Kim's bare feet and burned pants.
Ron looked worried at his girlfriend; this would not be the best time for Kim to start a fight with Bonnie, especially if Kim had any feelings of vengeance left after her last conversation with her former rival.
But Ron's fears were unfounded; Kim smiled at Bonnie with what appeared to be a genuine smile, "The cruise had certainly been good for you, seems you put on a little weight."
"What? You… I…" Bonnie wasn't able to come up with anything coherent as she was transferred to the other ship.
The next one who passed the teens was Junior; he was still complaining about his ship and how his allowance would probably be cut because of this.
Ron chuckled and shook his head, "This is going to be a long trip."
"I wasn't planning on taking this ship," Kim smirked, "I prefer the shortcut." She pulled Ron closer and a moment later they were gone, much to the surprise of the occupants of both ships.
"It is time," Kaji stood up from his meditative position and faced his companions, the Dragon is mastering her powers, the battle is at hand."
"How are we supposed to intervene," the Yono inquired, the group had not done much in preparation but waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
"We destroy the Monkey Lord, that is in favor for us all," the fire sorcerer faced DNAmy, "Are your creatures ready?"
Amy, the only one who had been doing a lot of work, nodded, "They are fully ready, me and Monty made sure to have a few surprises ready for Kimberly and Ron."
"Good, we will lure them to a place of our choosing," Kaji told, "After the Monkey Lord is destroyed, I take care of the Dragon."
"What if the battle begins before we can interfere?" Monkey Fist asked.
Kaji grinned, "Then we just have to make sure the Dragon survives the longest."
"I got to say," Ron admitted, "This is a handy way of traveling."
"Not to mention the tweebs will never sneak into my room again when they think I'm away," Kim smirked; Jim and Tim had nearly gotten a heart attack when Kim and Ron suddenly appeared in Kim's room while they were trying to open her diary.
"They nearly got your diary open though," Ron looked at the almost opened lock of the reinforced cover of the small book.
"Nah, that's just a fake," Kim smiled, "the real one is hidden a lot better."
"Really?" Ron grinned, "Where?"
"I'm not telling," Kim grinned right back, "not even you."
"But we're not supposed to keep secrets from each other," Ron tried.
Kim smiled at her boyfriend, "This is different; these aren't secrets, it's private."
"Oh well," Ron held his hands up in defeat, "So what do you want to do today?"
"I'm not sure yet," Kim said, "I think whatever plans the tweebs had for us will have to wait."
"Usually Jim and Tim recover pretty quickly though," Ron mentioned.
"Then let's use the relaxing time we have the best we can," Kim smirked, "I'll get the lawn chairs, you get the snacks and drinks."
The relaxation time didn't last very long as Ron had expected; Jim and Tim had recovered from their earlier scare pretty fast, especially after they found out they we not being chased.
"Training continues," Jim announced to the teens.
"And you have to show us your teleportation ability," Tim added, "it looks like you have it under control now."
"How about picking only one," Kim told, "I've had my share of training for the day already with Shego, and Ron has had his chance to try out against Drakken's relatively new powers.
Jim and Tim thought for a moment, "Alright, teleportation it is…"
"…But we want to dictate the conditions."
"Fine," Kim agreed, "as long as they're reasonable."
"So, what's this supposed to do?" Kim asked as she looked skeptically at the wires attached to her arms and forehead.
"We want to see the principle you use to transport and how you activate it," Tim told.
"And the chain?" Kim held up the steel cable that was locked around her wrist.
"If you create a portal, the cable should be both here and on the other side of the portal," Jim explained, "and we can measure if there is any space between the portals."
"Now try to teleport to the other side of the backyard."
"Shouldn't we wait for Wade?" Ron asked, "I thought he wanted to see this as well."
"Then he should have gotten here faster."
"I can do this again later," Kim said, "I am kinda curious how this works as well."
Kim focused her attention on the part of the garden she wanted to move to and an instant later she was there.
While he wires were still attached from Kim to the portable computer that had teleported with her, the cable was sliced clean in half.
"Seems like you can't prevent teleportation by chaining me to something," Kim said as she walked back to the others, carrying the portable computer with her.
"We have to have Wade check this out," Jim said.
"It looks like the wire is sliced with no space in between," Tim added as he held both ends together.
"Meaning?" Ron asked.
"It could mean that Kim uses a dimensional shift to teleport, separating her part of this dimension and placing it somewhere else."
"Now I still don't know what it means," Ron complained.
"Is it something like how the pan dimensional vortex inducer works?" Kim asked.
"No, the PDVI opens a gate between different dimensions…"
"…You move within one dimension."
Jim and Tim performed several more tests, including one having a new cable locked to Kim's wrist, but this time it was free on the other side.
The cable transported all the way with Kim, but Jim and Tim noticed a peak in brain activity just before the transport.
"Is it more difficult to teleport additional things?"
"Not really," Kim told, "but it's getting tiring to teleport that many times in a row."
"Is it harder to move greater distances?" Tim asked.
"Not really," Kim explained, "as long as I know where I'm going, locating a spot I've never been before is a lot harder."
Since Kim was getting a bit tired from teleporting, Jim and Tim decided to wait for Wade before continuing. In the meantime, Kim and Ron continued their, as Ron preferred to call it, marinating time.
"So are you actually tired from teleporting, or just tired of the tweebs testing on you?" Ron asked.
"Little of both," Kim smirked, "but multiple teleports seem to drain me, just like when you don't exactly have the hang of something and it's really frustrating and tiring to do it."
"So all you need is practice?"
"I guess," Kim shrugged, "but maybe I need to learn the right trick."
"Too bad the only other who can do this is Kaji."
"Yeah," Kim frowned, "I wonder what he is up to, I haven't seen him anymore after he fled but I'm sure he will try something again."
"Sensei, do you feel alright?" Yori asked concerned; over the past few days the Yamanuchi head master had become very silent and absentminded. He had lost most interest in the dealings of the school and instead only focused on prophecies regarding the Monkey Lord, and especially the prophecy about the Dragon.
"The Dragon is gaining in strength," Sensei told the young woman, "She is mastering her abilities more each day, I doubt it will be long before the Dragon fully awakes… and then only the Monkey Lord can save us, and it will be a terrible task for him."
"There must be something we can do," Yori said, "there must be a way. Why can't we destroy the Dragon before it gains its full power."
Sensei shook his head, "Interfering in prophecy is a dangerous thing, you could become the very thing that makes the foretelling come true."
"But if we don't interfere, it will happen as well," Yori insisted, "what difference does it make?"
"The difference is in the way the prophecy is becoming a reality," Sensei explained, "our interference could lead to the defeat of the Monkey Lord, or to the destruction of the world."
"I see," Yori bowed, "thank you Sensei, is there anything you need me for?"
"I understand that you are not convinced," the ninja master told, "do not make hasty decisions you might regret later."
Several days had passed in which Kim was exposed to many tests by either Wade or Jim and Tim, or both. Somehow the tweebs still managed to keep up the rigid training scheme for the teens, but it was evident they were not very interested in that anymore.
"Alright, one more test…" Jim said, looking up from his computer.
"…This time with a living object," Tim added.
Kim sighed; the whole day she had been subjected to teleporting trough the backyard or in and out of force fields and other containments, and quite frankly she was getting tired of it in more than one way. Fortunately Wade had left earlier, doing his daily checkup on all the mayor villains and possible distress calls, or Kim would have been exposed to his relentless curiosity regarding her teleportation power as well.
"Fine, mind if I take Ron? He already has some experience with this."
"Sure."
"What do you mean, experience?" Ron asked confused, "there is nothing to it for the 'passenger'."
"Shhhh," Kim hushed, "I want to get out of here, preferably before the tweebs remember they have forgotten to give directions."
"Ok, move to the…"
"Freedom," Kim sighed in relief.
"So… where are we?" Ron asked looking around; there wasn't much to see on what appeared to be a small island in the middle of the ocean.
"One of Kaji's islands," Kim explained, "It may not have been much fun being pretty much locked up there, but the climate sure is good."
"It does look nice," Ron agreed, "what kind of attractions are here?"
"None that I know of," Kim chuckled, then she dropped backwards on the beach sand, "Not that I care, all I want is a bit of relaxation before the tweebs find us again."
"Can they?"
Kim held up the wrist Kimmunicator, "I'm pretty sure they can."
"Why not get rid of it?" Ron suggested with a mischievous grin.
"Ron!" Kim scolded, smiling nonetheless, "what if there is an emergency?"
Ron shrugged, "They can take care of themselves for a while. Besides, you are in no shape to help anyway, what you need is a good massage."
"Are you offering," Kim already smiled at the prospect.
"I couldn't refuse anything to my KP, now could I?" Ron knelt down as Kim turned over and he started to slowly knead her back muscles.
It didn't take long before Kim fell asleep and began snoring softly. Ron continued massaging for a short while before he stood up and began a bit of exploring of the island.
The Drones Wade had sent out had not found anything important on any of Kaji's islands, but Ron was curious to see the island for himself anyway.
The shack still stood there, like Kim had told, but it was in bad shape; part of it was falling apart and the plant life was already growing inside, accelerating the degradation process.
Inside the shack was nothing; clearly Kaji had gone to the island again to take anything important away. But there were things Kaji couldn't take away, and those were more important to Ron.
Ron sat down in a meditative position and extended his mind through the shack. Soon images began to come to him, every one more or less powerful depending on the emotions that backed it up.
Kim was performing a very complicated series of moves at an unimaginable speed; at the end she held her hands out in front of her and a small spark of fire burst out.
"AAARRGH, why won't it work? Stupid fire technique…"
Kim stood crouched down, hands in a defensive position, panting heavily. Before her stood Kaji (or so Ron assumed) who was not doing much better. "That's enough training for today," the large man turned around and disappeared before Kim could get up again.
Kim finally stood up fully and looked out over the ocean, "Ron… wherever you are, I miss you so much… we WILL get back together…"
"And so we did," Ron thought happily, "and so we did."
"Ron?" Ron snapped out of his meditation and immediately wondered how long he had been meditating.
"Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt you," Kim said, "How long have I been asleep?"
"Frankly, I don't know," Ron admitted, "but I think we better head back home if we don't want to miss dinner."
"You ran out on us," Jim scolded as Kim and Ron returned just before supper.
"Actually, we teleported like you asked," Kim smirked, "you just didn't tell us where to."
"Because you left before we could say so," Tim said, "that's cheating."
Kim shrugged, "It takes a cheater to know one."
"And what's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing," Kim sighed, "I just would like to eat know. Besides, you don't have a say over us anyway because it's after half past six."
"Good thing we had at least that in the contract," Ron mentioned as the teens walked to the dinner table, "but we'll have to pay for it tomorrow."
"We'll see about it then," Kim smiled, "now I want to eat, I'm starving."
"Isn't that my line?" Ron smirked.
"You try teleporting all day long," Kim grinned back, "then you can make comments."
The next morning it only took Ron one look in the Possible home backyard to regret waking up and getting over to Kim's.
"What have they come up with now?"
"I'm not sure," Kim said, "but they've been up since five this morning."
"They sure hold a grudge, don't they," Ron smirked, "do you think there is any way we could get out of this?"
"Contractually only a mission can save you…" Jim said as the twins approached Kim and Ron.
"…And what do you think the chances are for that?" Tim added, grinning wickedly.
BEEB BEEB BEEEB BEEB
"There we go," Kim smirked as she picked up the Kimmunicator, "what's the sitch Wade?"
"The research base on Antarctica has suffered several attacks from giant Bigfoot monkeys," Wade looked as much weirded out by the message as Kim and Ron did.
"It's sounds like DNAmy," Kim frowned, "but what's with the monkeys?"
"Maybe she's doing some sort of legacy thing for Monkey Fist," Ron suggested.
"Could be," Kim said, "we'll find out. Got transportation?"
"We're not going to teleport?" Ron asked.
"It's still sipping a lot of energy," Kim explained, "I'd rather not arrive exhausted at a mission, especially at the south pole."
"You're probably right," Ron sighed, "we might have to run from a polar bear."
"Ron, polar bears live only on the north pole," Wade mentioned.
"Really?" Ron frowned, "I thought it was penguins living there."
"Anyway, the hover jet is ready," Wade told, "and arctic gear is inside."
"You rock Wade," Kim closed the connection and the teens ran to the garage where the hover jet was parked, meanwhile waving to Jim and Tim who couldn't do much more than glare angrily back.
Shorty after, the jet was flying at high speed over the ocean; Kim and Ron were inside putting on their arctic mission gear.
"I wonder what Amy is up to," Ron said as he struggled into his gear, "Haven't heard from her in a long time."
"Yeah," Kim agreed, "she's gone pretty much out of the picture after she changed herself in a gorilla, Wade told me she was last spotted having a normal body again and carrying the statue of Monkey Fist around."
"Maybe she got sane again," Ron snickered.
"Saner perhaps," Kim grinned, "but apparently she still got her weird animal obsession."
"Yeah, let's hope they don't destroy the research station."
It didn't take long before the teens arrived at the research station where they were greeted by the team of scientists, "Thank you for coming so soon, so far the Bigfoot monkeys haven't destroyed anything important but they're getting closer to the walls every time and we cannot afford to have a breach here."
"I see," Kim said, "do you have any idea where they went after an attack?"
"Yes," one of the team members mentioned, "they tend to go further south, but we didn't dare to follow them."
"I fully understand," Ron shuddered, "Bigfoot monkeys, can they get more wrongsick?"
"We'll still have to follow their trail," Kim smirked, she activated the Kimmunicator, "Wade, anything on those tracks?"
"They're faint, but I can trace them," Wade told, "but you'll have to go on foot."
"Great," Ron muttered, "I hope these clothes are warm enough."
"They're state of the art," Wade pointed out proudly, "they even have a heat generator inside to help you keep warm."
"You rock Wade," Kim smiled before she closed the connection.
"I don't care how good these clothes are," Ron complained quickly after the teens started following the trail, "It's still cold."
"Doy," Kim smirked, "This is Antarctica, the coldest continent… here are more tracks."
The teens followed the tracks until they found a large ice cave.
"Seems the tracks are going that way," Kim looked into the cave.
"This feels like a trap," Ron said.
"I know," Kim agreed, "but we still need to know whether the Bigfoot monkeys are inside."
They entered the cave cautiously but nothing appeared to stop them, there was not much wind in the cave and the monkey tracks were much clearer.
"They seem to be heading that way," Kim pointed deeper into the cave.
"You know, if it wasn't for the cold, this would be a great lair," Ron mentioned.
"And guess what? It is," a very familiar but also very unexpected voice said.
Kim and Ron spun around and faced Monkey Fist, together with a bunch of large Bigfoot monkeys.
"Monkey Fist?" Ron cried out, "You were turned to stone, how did you escape?"
"So you're behind all this?" Kim took a fighting ready stance.
"No, we're behind all this," another voice sing-songed and DNAmy stepped out of the shadows to stand next to Monkey Fist.
"DNAmy and Monkey…" Ron shuddered, "this is so sick and wrong."
"It is, isn't it?" Kim smirked, "but we can still take you."
"Monkey ninjas, attack!" the monkey villain yelled and the Bigfoot monkeys ran towards the teens.
"So they were actually your…" the rest of Ron's comment was drowned by the monkeys attacking him and Kim.
While Kim and Ron were busy fighting the Bigfoot monkeys, Monkey Fist and Amy walked to the exit of the cave from where they watched the battle.
The fight didn't last long; Kim and Ron fought ferociously and both the Mystical Monkey Power and the Dragon Power worked flawlessly. The monkeys were scattered and ran off deeper into the cave. Kim and Ron faced Monkey Fist and DNAmy with a smirk, ready for the next fight.
"Looks like your monkeys didn't do so well," Kim said, "ready to give up?"
"On the contrary," Monkey Fist laughed, "it is you who need to give up." He pulled a remote from his pocket and pressed a button, immediately several small explosives went off and the cave started to collapse.
DNAmy and Monkey Fist ran outside and Kim and Ron were trapped inside.
"I guess they didn't know your new trick," Ron grinned after Kim switched on the lights on the Kimmunicator.
"Yeah, but why go through all this effort to trap us," Kim pondered, "and how did Monkey Fist escape from the stone?"
Kim closed her eyes and prepared to teleport, but a second later the opened her eyes again and looked around frowning.
"Something wrong KP?" Ron asked.
"Yeah," Kim mumbled in deep thought, "something is pulling at my power."
"Someone is trying to steal your power?" Ron said, "Is it that Kaji?"
"I think it's Kaji," Kim agreed, "but he's not trying to steal the power, I think he's trying to pull me somewhere…"
"Where?"
"I don't know, but I better not teleport," Kim told, "We have to find another way out."
Kim and Ron walked deeper into the cave, following the Bigfoot monkeys' trail, "I hope those monkeys know of a way out," Ron mentioned.
"Me too," Kim agreed as she tried to connect to Wade, but the Kimmunicator only gave static, "I guess we're too deep inside the cave for a signal to get through."
Ron suddenly stopped and frowned, "Did you know this was the first time we both used our power simultaneously?"
Kim stopped as well and though back for a moment, "I think you're right, it did feel very natural as well."
"Mine too," Ron agreed, "even more than during the attack of the Lowardians."
"Would that mean we're getting better?" Kim wondered, "or more in tune?"
"I guess, I'm not complaining though," Ron grinned.
"But still," Kim pondered, "don't you get a sense of destiny or something? I mean, we're both apparently part of some prophesies."
"Maybe we can ask Sensei about it when we get back," Ron suggested, "haven't spoken to him in a long while anyway."
"Now you mention…" Kim trailed off in thought; "I think the last time was when I entered that meditative state for the first time… Sensei kinda disappeared after I mentioned the Dragon prophecy."
"Maybe he went off in search of information about it," Ron shrugged, "I'm sure he'd contact us if he found something important."
Kim and Ron went deeper into the cave, still following the trails that seemed to go on forever.
"How long have we been walking," Ron wondered, "is there an end to this cave?'
"I don't know," Kim said, "but we're descending and the tunnel is curving somewhat. I think we've been walking for about half an hour."
"It seems a lot longer," Ron muttered.
"That's because of the clothes," Kim told, "they're slowing us down."
"Well, they're too warm as well," Ron complained.
"You're right," Kim frowned and used the Kimmunicator to scan the temperature in the cave, "it's just below freezing, way hotter than you'd expect on Antarctica."
After two hours of walking down the spiraling tunnel the teens took a break, the temperature held steady just below freezing and the arctic gear was too hot to be bearable anymore. They took off the arctic gear, revealing their winter mission clothes; similar colored to the usual mission clothes but better insulated.
"That's better," Ron said relieved, "I can move normally again."
"I hope this tunnel doesn't end in a dead end though," Kim smirked, "I'd hate to go all the way up again."
They moved further down until finally the spiral ended and a new straight, but still descending, tunnel became visible. This tunnel was rock instead of ice.
"Whoa, we must be below the ice layer," Kim mentioned.
"Is that good or bad?" Ron asked.
"For one it means we're more than a mile below the ice surface," Kim told, "maybe even two miles."
"And we're still going lower," Ron mumbled, but they walked on anyway.
Once they got below the ice, the temperature began to gradually increase and Kim and Ron could feel a warm flow of air moving in their direction.
"Where does this heat come from?" Ron wondered.
"I guess from volcanic activity," Kim said, "Antarctica does have volcanoes."
"But it's all ice up there," Ron frowned, "shouldn't it melt?"
"Not that much activity at the surface I guess," Kim shrugged.
Eventually the temperatures reached tropical and the winter mission clothes made way for the standard mission gear.
"Using layers was a pretty good idea," Ron mentioned.
"Especially when you don't know what will be the next place you go to," Kim agreed.
"Indeed," a voice boomed from up ahead, Kim and Ron looked in the direction of the sound and spotted an opening in the side of the tunnel leading to a large cavern.
"Kaji," Kim hissed as she saw the figure in the center of the cavern.
"And Monkey Fist and DNAmy?" Ron cried, "How did you get here?"
"We took the elevator silly," DNAmy laughed.
"There is an elevator?' Ron whined, "Why did no one tell me?"
"Because a long walk is always good before a kill," a monkey-like creature said as it stepped out of the shadows.
"The Yono?" Kim asked confused, "how did you get back?"
"When Monkey Fist was taken from me as an apprentice," the Yono told, "now he serves the master of nature."
Ron looked confused for a moment, but then looked at DNAmy, "Nooo, that's just sick and wrong."
In the mean time, Kim had her attention trained at a strange distortion close to Kaji, "That's where my power is pulled to."
"You are correct," the fire sorcerer said, "I see you have gotten smart enough not to fall for such a trick."
"And I see you're smart enough not to rely on traps," Kim sneered back, "what was the point of it anyway?"
"A mere distraction while we destroyed the Monkey Lord," the Yono spoke for Kaji, "but now it seems we have to rely on old fashioned power and skill."
"Well then, bring it," Kim smirked and she and Ron prepared themselves to fight the villains, both activating their powers instinctively.
Kaji laughed, "So you figured out to control your power, and yet you cannot grasp its true magnitude."
"Pretty words for someone who I have beaten before," Kim said, "we took you all on, individually and together, and we always won."
"You defeated me once," Kaji agreed, "the both of you beat Monkey Fist and Amy on several occasions, but neither of you has won against the Yono; it took the power of the Han and a foolish bargain by the imposter to have the Yono admit defeat."
"I guess we'll see what will happen next then," Ron said, his eyes glowing blue, "but remember that neither of us knew much about our powers before."
"And you still don't," the fire sorcerer grinned, "fire consumes… ATTACK!"
The Bigfoot monkeys, though reluctant, attacked first, shortly followed by Monkey Fist. Kim and Ron were able to fend them off with little trouble until the Yono joined the fight; the ape-like creature attacked with tremendous speed and his gaze turned everything it touched into stone.
Everything except Kim, that is. An orange aura enveloped her and fended off every attack.
Ron had a similar experience with attacked from Kaji; the fire sorcerer's strikes did little to no damage and in the meantime Ron was well able to dodge the attacks from the Yono.
When the villains changed tactics and switched targets Kim and Ron were forced to retreat a bit. But by sticking together they could keep their opponents at bay. Nevertheless the fight became more intense as it went on.
Kim was fighting Kaji who had the Bigfoot monkeys on his side, and Kim had to go all out to keep up a proper defense. But still some hits came through.
Finally tired with fighting close combat Kim threw a couple of fireballs to get the Bigfoot monkeys away and then shot a more powerful one at Kaji, but instead of dodging or countering the fire sorcerer took the hit, knocking him backwards.
"One less to worry about," Kim smirked as she moved to Ron to help him in his fight.
Ron was fighting one on one with Monkey Fist, but he had to keep dodging attacks from the Yono as well. Kim broke the uneven balance by kicking Monkey Fist away from Ron and then the two focused their attack on the Yono.
The representative of the evil side of the Mystical Monkey Powers, however, was otherwise occupied as he conjured a spear that shined with a strange metallic shine. The combined attack of the teens almost caught him before he slashed at Ron.
The blue aura surrounding Ron shone brighter and the spear was knocked aside, then team Possible hit the Yono simultaneously and knocked him into the wall, close to where Kaji was still recovering.
"Give up," Ron demanded, the aura around him had taken a monkey-like shape and looked like an impenetrable armor.
Instead the Yono grinned, "You still have weaknesses," he walked over to the fire sorcerer who put his hand on the tip of the spear, leaving it burning.
"It won't work," Ron's aura intensified more as he spoke, "I am immune to your fire, give up or face the consequences," as Ron spoke those words it reminded Kim of the moment just before Ron threw the Lowarians into their ship. But despite Ron's confidence, she felt something was wrong. The moment the Yono attacked Ron with the spear she understood; Kaji had caught some of her fire and placed it on the spear.
"Ron! Watch out for the…" Monkey Fist and the Bigfoot monkeys slammed into Kim and piled on top of her.
The attack on Kim distracted Ron a bit and due to his confidence of his power protecting him he reacted too late to the spear strike; the fire pierced through the glow, the aura even moved aside, and the spear struck Ron's chest.
Suddenly there was total silence as Ron stood frozen, clutching the spear to prevent it from moving further. The Yono was knocked backwards when the Monkey powers returned to protect Ron, but Kaji helped him up.
The fire sorcerer chuckled, "Just like last time, only turned around."
Despite being pinned to the ground, Kim had seen everything; Kaji and the Yono using her fire, her essence, to neutralize Ron's defenses, using his love and trust towards her against him, against them. And now she could only watch in shock as her best friend, her boyfriend, her soulmate, sank to his knees, his eyes still wide open.
A/N: Another cliffhanger, you guys must be starting to hate me by now. But I promise I will update soon, please leave a review.
