As you know, this fic is rated T, but I must warn that in this chapter is SUGGESTIVE MATERIAL, but nothing overtly graphic to earn the M rating.

Chapter Eleven

"Wade, you're a real life-saver as always."

"Just know if Kim finds out, she's going to can you."

"Psh, what's a blow to the face for 'disobeying a direct order' going to do? Kill me? KP won't murder me; she'll get over it eventually when we come to help."

Wade gave him the look that reminded him about the kids. "She did order you to keep an eye on Jimmy. Who's to say staying with your parents won't prevent any mishaps?" he pointed out, making Ron roll his eyes. He and Crispin found themselves at the airport, waiting for their transportation to come and take them to Japan, knowing that was where Kim was at the present. With any luck, would he see Yori again?

If his wife heard him say that, she would give her "I don't think so" protective lady mode. He supposed he'd have to abide her silent wish and not talk to Yori, if it appeared to go a bit too far in Kim's eyes.

He found himself looking to meet Crispin's eyes. Days had passed, and while they'd taken a hell of a while with Jane's expertise to scour the world for Hana and "Stoned Kong", as his brother-in-law put it, which made it very tempting for Ron to start calling his arch-nemesis. It had been years since he'd used his monkey powers, since the Lowardian attack on graduation day - he'd saved Kim and the entire world - and since the kids popped out, they'd lain dormant.

But now, he planned to change that and wasn't the least bit afraid. What would a stoned monkey man have against the new and improved Ron Stoppable?

What Ron could not stop fussing over in his mind was knowing that Hana, his adopted baby sister whom he'd loved since she was brought into their family, was the daughter of Monkey Fist. That...that FREAK...he wanted to vomit like Crispin did. He cursed the bastard for using the mother - Yori's sister - and being the... He was running out of smartass terms to use. He did not remember feeling so overwhelmed in a long time, but he tried to stay strong just for Hana.

He did agree with Crispin on one thing: he highly doubted Hana knew now, or even Stone Kong, her "father". He had no right to be called such; her family was the Stoppables, if not by blood, and she knew that as well as he did.

"Ron...do we even have a plan to take this bastard down?" Crispin asked after a glance at his watch only for the heck of it. It had been fifteen minutes; maybe their transportation hit wind turbulence, but this wasn't the first time. "Kim didn't even find out about a mystic weapon we could find and use against him, and the museum won't even grant us legal permission. They would even say we are insane, those who don't know the truth." Ron considered slapping his forehead, but it wasn't worth it. He was right; even if the Tri-City Museum did grant legal consent to "borrow" any known artifacts from the ancient dark simian world, it would take more than enough time than they already had. Monkey Fist was planning to unleash his dark powers upon the world for sure this time, and he had HAN now - they did not have time to fool around!

As if on cue, they suddenly got a call on his Smart screen from none other than Jane who had good news that she got from none other than her mentor Wade. "You guys, I did some digging more into the Yono-Han lore, and you'll never believe it...and Wade got this through none other than Kim personally," she said with a wink - at the same time their ride touched down. "Strap yourselves in boys, because we're in for a more hell of a ride than we thought it would be."

"Mr. Stoppable, and Mr. Cromwell," they were greeted by the pilot, along with three other men of GJ. "We are now en route for the Himalayas bordering India." Which was also where Kim and her squad might be heading. Ron shared a grin with Crispin; about damned time!

Crispin seemed to be thinking the same thing that he was when he asked Jane, "Green, is that where the 'missing link' you're hinting might be at?"

"You bet, although I must warn you that place is close to Hana's heart - or rather, her birth mother's, which makes it connected to Dr. Stoppable's contact. The mother hid the item a long time ago, but somehow Monkey Fist discovered through his own means and is en route to the spot in the Himalayas..."

"With Hana," Ron and Crispin finished with a bitter taste on their tongues.

~o~

He really needed to speak to Yono about these frustrating..."feelings" he had for Han, and he wanted it over and done with before the three of them set out very soon. He did not wish for this to interfere with the task at hand, lest he wound up breaking her fragile little neck before they got the ultimate treasure that would enable them to rule the world once and for all.

Han had passed out by the warmth of the fireplace, the sight making him smile a little, as he was relieved to not have to deal with her fiery tongue. If she made him so riled up, why did it feel so good? Perhaps it was easier to deal with, knowing she had no say in any matter by the end. It gave him utter power and control. He looked forward to that, most of all, when Hitomi's hidden treasure would benefit and be the final nail in the coffin for world domination.

"She drives you to the point of madness, Monty my boy."

He growled at the small monkey. "Such an amateur way of putting it, Yono." Said being tsked and brought up a long finger to wave in his face, uncaring if he would risk it being snapped off.

"Now, now, you forget YOU are Yono now, but I am merely your mentor until I decide you don't need me anymore. You still have a lot to learn, but I assure you it won't be long now." He cleared his throat. "In answer to your question, the answer is staring at you in the face, but you are stubborn as always, my pupil of the dark arts. You love her."

Granite hands clenched into fists, the screeching sound audible to his ears, increasing to the point of threatening to shatter when the monkey went on. "Don't deny it vehemently. You know if you defend, you incriminate to the point of doom," he said with a dark chuckle, turning his head halfway to regard the sleeping young woman. "Must you overanalyze when it is clearly before your eyes? You love her, plain and simple. She drives you mad, you sought her long and hard. You despise her for besting you years ago, but that only proves she is capable -"

"We shall see about that soon enough, in this adult form."

"- which leads to the fact she is a very beautiful, striking creature. What better match for you than her now? She can't flee you like before, and you know that. But that does not mean one more match has to be faced." Yellow-green eyes hardened at once, reminding him of one of the final lessons he gave Monkey Fist before they moved on to retrieve Han on her wedding day.

He had one last chance to fight and keep her, but if she defeated him, then all would fall to ruin for the last time.

Monkey Fist found himself abandoning his mentor and moving over to the sleeping Han, gently picking her up - as gently as he could - and brought her over to lay on the bed, depositing her as to not wake her, marveling in her exotic perfection...and suddenly, the depth of his core softened as he wished he could touch her, smell her and even caress her...

It had been so long since he experienced this, but enjoyable as past experiences were, they had been for his own benefits.

This time was different. Something changed in him as he loomed over Han.

Given his current form, he would not be able to claim her the way a man would take a woman. He would not be able to make her feel the pleasures she was permitted, but if there was a way to exert it over her with his hands and his mouth, then perhaps that would suffice.

She moaned and stirred beneath him, but she didn't wake. He was aware that Yono was behind him, watching with gleaming amusement, but he could care less what the simian devil thought. What harm could he do, and who would he mock Monkey Fist's personal matters to? Looking down, he watched as a bare, tanned leg shifted beneath the luxurious golden fabric and rubbed subtly against his hip. She wasn't aware of what she was doing, but it roused him like lava beneath its natural rock enough. She had no idea what she was doing to him...

She must have thought she was dreaming, for her moans began to pick up when gravel hands began to caress her clothed form, bringing forth steam through the garment and slowly cracking the outer surfaces of his body, in the sense if not physically -

- before a roar, not animalistic but mechanical, interrupted his deed. "NOW WHAT?!"

~o~

About damned time they arrived!

Crispin looked out the window with Ron in tow, shouting with joy with him, unafraid of the danger that awaited them, but his older brother-in-law had to remind him to keep the cockiness away. "Remember the Yono can turn any living being into stone. Don't expect him to not do the same to you."

"I'll definitely keep that in mind," Crispin agreed, thrumming with anticipation that his wife was so close to being rescued. He heard it on the radio that they locked the location of the cottage, reading two living life-forms of flesh, blood and heat temperature - but they could not detect the third who was made of walking stone.

But that did NOT mean Monkey Fist wasn't down there.

~o~

"Monkey Fist, we have you surrounded, and it's me you want to face, remember?" Kim yelled out when she jumped out before the small cottage. Hard to believe the all-powerful new Yono had to be here of all places, right? It was a good thing she suited up before arriving, thanks to Wade - especially with this after all these years.

It felt good to don her old battlesuit.

To think it began with the defeat of Drakken and Shego over Bueno Nacho and the Lil' Diablos...and the night that brought her and Ron together.

A flash of gray and yellow stood before her, and surrounding, as promised were her men with their guns trained on him, but that would do little good against him. He would waste no time shooting the petrification powers like the original before him - but not before Kim Stoppable had anything to say about it. "Well," she yelled, clenching her fists, "come out you goddamned coward and face me like you used to!"

A dark, grated chuckle sounded behind her that even the men and women who followed her didn't see coming. Whirling around, she glimpsed a flash of yellow before she activated the protective plasma shield that kept all outside laser sources and the likes out; there had been no time to test against Yono's powers, but it worked just like the first time she wore this. The very first night had been an experimental mode, but it worked, didn't it?

"Ahhh...you've improved, Kimberly."

"Improved enough to take your ass down myself," she returned. "You didn't think you'd see me all new and improved as you said, right, Monkey Fist?"

He chuckled again before getting serious. "Highly doubtful that this modern invention of yours will forever last against the destructive powers of the Yono - just as you won't succeed in getting Han away from me. I'm no fool to assume WHY you are here." He frowned then. "Speaking of which, where is that buffoon husband of yours anyway?"

Kim growled at his mocking of Ron. "He's not here. It's just you, me, and Global Justice," she answered, although when she looked past him without turning her head, she furiously forced herself to remain composed as to not divert his attention.

Ron and Crispin had decided to tag along when she specifically told them she would handle this. And besides, Jimmy needed strict parenting while she was away - or did Ron do the smart move in leaving the kids with his parents, or hers? The questions would be saved for later.

"Oh, what a surprise. Then that means he won't be here to protect his precious little sister like last time, hmm? This makes this so much more...fun."

She snarled and decided she was tired of waiting. Giving the signal, she waved her agents to jump out of the way and hide; she decided she would not risk any of them being turned to stone. They were gone just as she threw herself forward and began to engage the stoned monkey man hand-to-hand. He seemed to be thinking the same thing, for old times' sake, and not in a hurry to put her back to the way she'd been just yet.

Delaying glory, huh?

"You're wasting time, you know?" Kim decided to taunt as she dodged a blow which aimed for her neck and would have snapped it if she hadn't ducked and drew a granite-piercing boomerang which had been made from the actual Australian weapon, and made with plasma-inducing iron. Let's put it to the test...

Monkey Fist regarded it with contempt. "If I am wasting my time, then what about you? Nothing can harm me in this form."

Well, see about that! And with that in mind, Kim yelled furiously and flung the boomerang in his direction, grazing his shoulder which he didn't bother to protect - and to her horror, the crevice of a gash left there began to crack audibly as it closed shut as if it had never been there.

"Now, what did I tell you, you overconfident, obnoxious woman?"

"Obnoxious?" Kim threw her head back and laughed. "Look who's talking when he swooped in on the happiest day of Hana's life, took her away against her will! I'd be an idiot if I said you'd never learn your lessons. All those times Ron and I kicked your ass, you're the same as ever."

His eyes flashed then, turning yellow at once. Charging up - or ready to strike now? "How times have changed. But with Han in my possession now -" Not as long as Ron and Crispin could get to her! "- I'm ultimately going to be unstoppable! And there is one more link to bind us together so we can rule the world!"

She was so going to kill him if it was the last thing she did...

...and it was then and there that she HEARD the deeper longing in the Monkey Man's voice when he spoke of binding.

Her stomach dropped and rolled.

Did he mean...?

She reminded herself that he had no idea Hana was his biological but illegitimate daughter, and for him to - she refused to finish that thought. But it still made her sick. She was torn about revealing to him this information, because last time she'd thought he'd already made the deduction that "Han" was really baby Hana, and she and Ron thought it together. She would not repeat the mistake of putting Hana in bigger danger than she already was in.

Even if it meant keeping this from Hana and Crispin, but telling Ron when they were alone. They'd known each other since pre-K, so there would never be any secrets between them.

"Speaking of Han, I'm interested in knowing how on earth she found me and set me free."

The way he spoke so casually about awaking in Hana's lab made Kim leap over his head and delivered a punch to his "gut", but the effect wasn't desired and sent her flying backwards. She landed on both feet fluidly and slid underneath him to be on the other side when he charged for her. "She didn't know about your miserable existence," she sneered. "You just happened to coincidentally be in the lawn of one DNAmy when we learned she died of cancer; we decided to comb out her home on her old experiments and equipment."

His face twisted as he momentarily ceased his attacks. Learning that he'd been in the home of the obsessed geneticist who had given him his mutated hands and feet, pursued him endlessly, made him cringe, but it wasn't like he was capable of real emotion, right? He had a heart of stone then, and he did now.

"Not like she'll be missed anyway," Kim went on, "because no one sure as hell missed you when you were taken down into the dirt!"

When she'd finally landed a powerful kick beneath the Monkey Man's feet, he toppled onto the earth and began to roll down the hill - at the same time she looked up and saw Ron running her way, with Crispin in tow, and an unconscious Hana in his arms. Behind them, GJ in ten came out of the cottage with a trapped surprise that she saw vital and was beyond ecstatic inside that she had to grin at them all.

The former Yono had been knocked unconscious and was tied up, sedated, and would be used to gain leverage as well as vital information on the stoned freak who was just getting up. Damn it!

Kim acted fast and drew her gun from her belt, aimed it at his face and fired. He yelled in pain when it sizzled his eyes, stunning him and temporarily blinding him. If she had to take a guess, he would recover if she didn't get the hell out of here with her team and her family as well as their new hostage. When everyone was in their separate copters, the main one had the ladder down for her to leap onto and then yell down to Monkey Fist who had just gotten up and growled savagely as he'd lost today...but the battle was far from over.

"Serves you right!"

"You may have Han again, Kim Stoppable, but we are far from finished! For old times' sake, I will enjoy crushing you and all you hold dear!" he roared back after her just as she was spirited away.

Before I even began this story, I'd had images of Stoned Monkey Fist and Hana in mature moments, but this is a tamer version of one of those moments and definitely bordering on one-sided as you saw, which is FAR from the more romantic image I had in the beginning. And now that Hana has been rescued and the Yono monkey himself in custody, that leaves Monkey Fist alone in getting what he is after. Kim and her team has reasons for not going after him right away since they got no time to trail after him without another plan as well as protecting Hana at the same time - but what will they do now with the monkey? Stay tuned.
