Author's Note" Here we go... the penultimate chapter. I tried to make this as exiting as possible... I didn't want to really bring Ron's MMP into it, but figured that it wouldn't be Ron if I didn't. Also, forgive me if there are any strange errors spelling wise. I'm noticing that once I post things up, some characters are changed... dunno why. Anyway Enjoy
CHAPTER 12
Maximus began preparing himself for an escape. He pressed a remote, which opened up a small area a short distance from him. He then aimed the large round gun over to his enemies... gun in hand. He was never one for a fist fight… and against Team Possible?
("Team Bloody Possible…")
The very thought of their name made him sick. He was furious that they fooled him so well… they thwarted his plans and once again stopped his dreams, except one… their deaths. That in itself was consolation for him. He had money and he could start again… but with them dead he would be the envy of all that was termed evil…
"Well then, I suppose that I may have my victory after all! Any last requests" as he lowered the gun to them…
Ron looked to Kim and nodded to get behind him. She initially was unsure, then realized why he did. She got up and stood away…
"Uh, uh, uuhhhhh… stick around… this is a two for one special!" Cash arrogantly told Kim. He raised the gun to her briefly, then back to Ron.
"So... no last words then, very well... pis-."
"Actually, I do…" Ron yelled… His body took on a blue tone; similarly a blue aura began forming around him.
Ron in the later years had relied lesser and lesser on his mystical monkey power. There was a time that Kim was almost killed by a terrorist… he fully powered up himself in rage and killed the man. But he felt as though he disgraced himself, his sensei and everyone greatly, including of course Kim, who figured that though he saved her, he could have done it by less lethal means. It was a hard time for him, almost sending him into a major depressive state, but Kim supported him through it all. He then vowed never to use it unless he absolutely had to… his 'final resort'… and now was that time…
Maximus was awestruck… what was this? Is he some sort of… mutation…or monster? His eyes grew wide and found he couldn't fire his weapon…Ron shouted at him…
"I vowed never to use this unless I absolutely needed… I always thought that there was a better way… but people like you give me reason to make it known and shown!"
Maximus stared at Ron... but more and more he thought it was just some cheap acting bluff. He once again raised the gun...
"Well then, I believe it's time you learn when to give up on your stupid theatrical antics!"
"Dude, I assure you, it's time you learn when a role is not a role!"
"Your talk is cheap but you still are trapped. And you both will die at my hands… Team Possible's final curtain is NOW!"
He began to pull the trigger. Kim wanted to move, but she wasn't going to leave Ron. Besides which, it would be pointless at this stage. But just as the barrel began to rotate, Maximus released it in disbelief. Ron grabbed the turret of the artillery gun and tossed it towards Cash, sending him sprawling with it into a nearby wall… crushing him. He wasn't dead, but he was severely injured…Ron limped to Cash, who had one free arm and surprisingly, another small pistol. Bloodied in face, he shot blankly at Ron, missing every shot. The monkey master began to get angrier, but just then; a familiar hand came on his shoulder…
"Ron…" He turned to face his lady…she hugged him…
"It's over. There isn't anything he can do to us now…"
Ron powered down… He kissed Kim on her cheek… then he turned to a defeated Maximus Cash…
"And that's why you should have never been a bad dude…" He scolded…
Maximus found the last strength he could muster to let out a simple laugh, coughing as he did…
"Well done lad… (Coughing) but there is one more thing about being a bad guy that is so thrilling…"
Kim and Ron watched him with expectant look. Then, just before he faded off, he whispered…
"I'll take everyone with me… cheers" His weakened hand reached into a pocket and pressed the remote again
(2:29)
A large screen appeared above, which began to count down. The battle worn duo put two and two together and feared the worst… the island was about to go up in blast that would make the 4th of July a candle light…
Kim tried to use the remote from Cash to stop the countdown, but it no longer was functioning. She left Ron for a moment a sprinted to the shaft where they just entered, hoping that there would be an elevator would be there... nothing. Then as fast as she could, she ran to the opening that was just opened... but it was a dark corridor, seemingly with no way out. It would be pointless to try and escape now, with such little time. She called out to Will via their radio, shouting desperately at him…
"WILL, GET EVERYONE OFF NOW! THE ISLAND'S ABOUT TO GO TO HELL!"
"What are you talking about?" Will asked …
"In less than three minutes this place will not be on the map!"
"Well it never really was on the map…" Ron stated…
"RON!"
"I know… I know…"
"Will, please get everyone off now… we can't stop it!
"We already wrapped things up here and sent everyone still alive on the transport vessels. We just have you guys along with me and one or two people to be picked up…"
"Forget about us…" She said sadly…
"No Kim, let us know where you are!"
"It's been an privilege…" She switched off the ear piece…
Kim looked a sad face to Ron, who knew that look... it was a look of all options have been exhausted… maybe this is the end. She held her man tightly, as they huddled to the floor.
(1:42)
"I'll always love you Ron…"
"Ditto babe…" He replied, mimicking her earlier remark...
Just then, he noticed something… in the corner of his eye, facing the opening...
"Kim, get me to the jet! "
"Are you going mad on me again?" She asked him
"No Kim! the jet's facing the entrance! Help me get over there... quickly!"
"What the hell are you-"
"Just trust me!" Ron cut Kim's words off…
(1:10)
She raised him as he limped over to the aircraft... a sleek two seater jet. They opened the canopy and sat in the side by side configuration. He looked around frantically for a start button… Kim was unsure of his plan…
"Ron what are you thinking! we can't fly this thing!" she shouted…
"Correction...I can…" Ron stated as he buckled himself in…
"Since when you can fly?" She watched him in amazement…
"Flight Simulator 2004!" He grinned...
Kim watched him wide eyed… he was going to fly based on a video game? This was nuts!
"We had a better chance staying here…" She said sarcastically…"
"Ye of little faith…we'll live to talk about it!" He shouted…
(0:55)
He desperately searched the cockpit for some buttons…
(Radar set… no)
(Transponder… no)
(Eject button? No)
(0:37)
"AH!" He found the button he was looking for…Engine start! The aircraft suddenly roared into life… the turbines whined their high pitch. He tried to force the throttles open, but the computer system barred him from doing so. He couldn't throttle it until the green engine lights gave confirmation…
"Ron come on, we're running out of time!" Kim said anxiously…
"I know I know!" Ron said matching hers…
(0:10)
Ron tensed... they had to go now! Just then, jet's system beeped twice... they had the green light...
"Ron... Punch it!"‚ Kim screamed...
Ron threw the throttle forward. The engines screamed and threw them back into their seats. The plane lurched forward, picking up speed as it went… but just as they did, they heard and felt a thunderous explosion.
"Come on...!"
Ron shouted, with his hand on the throttle still trying to push it past its set limit. Kim placed her hand on his, reassuring him that no matter what, they would go out trying. The shaft seemed to go on forever, but eventually in the distance, they saw a light, but also something else…a red color was surrounding them. They suddenly felt a surging heat upon them…the fire began to engulf the aircraft! Alarms rang out in the plane signaling failures in electronic components…
"COME ON DAMNIT!" Ron yelled harder…
The opening was almost in their reach, but the fire overtook and totally engulfed them. This was it Ron thought... they gave their best shot. But then, just then…they were greeted by a most wonderful sight... the beautiful blue sky…Kim and Ron both screamed at the top of their lungs in a victorious manner. They made it out! They'll be OK! But that was short lived by more shrills…
(Alarms ringing)
"No no no no no!"
The engine failure and fire alarms engaged. The engines could be heard spooling down... they were dropping fast. Ron tried to dead stick it, but realized that the controls may have been damaged by the fire. He then remembered… the eject button! He pressed it... suddenly the entire cockpit separated from the burning wreckage that was the jet and a parachute deployed. The capsule landed harmlessly in the water, draped by the parachute. They were OK! Team Possible lived to see another day. They were ecstatic to say the least… Kim grabbed Ron and kissed him deeply. He didn't refuse.
"I gotta get into this video gaming thing a little more!" She said trying to catch her breath…
"Can't talk… kissing girlfriend…" Ron replied before pressing his lips back on hers.
For a moment, all that could be heard was the water against the capsule, but then a series of voices and noises appeared around them. Then suddenly they felt the capsule raised and then put on a solid surface. The parachute was covering them all the time so they were unsure exactly what was going on. But slowly it was removed… They were greeted by a slew of Global Justice soldiers, agents, Will Du and Dr. Director.
They were assisted out of the capsule, then met with a roar of applause…many patting them on the back and shaking their hands.
"Well done Team Possible. You all really can do anything as your slogan goes…" Dr. Director lamented as she stepped closer to them.
"No big, it's what we do…" Kim replied, holding Ron. They viewed the now destroyed island, bellowing plumes of smoke..."
"Man... glad we got out of that!" Ron said relieved...
"What about Cash?" Will questioned…
"He won't be ever a threat... again…" Kim said confidently… wait...
"What about the A3X blueprints?" She then anxiously questioned…
"We confiscated them from Major Rass and his group...but it didn't matter... we had already developed a negator to the gas, using the original blueprints you sent with Wade…"
"So the good major is in the brig?
"Yes. He has been termed as a traitor to his country for misuse of funds and will be disciplined accordingly…"
The Possible team smiled. The day was safe again. they were met with a salute from everyone aboard...
"Congratulations again to you all… you have saved the world again…we are all in your debt. Is there anything you require at this moment?" Dr. Director asked…
Ron thought for a moment...
"Well, how about some of that money I won yesterd-" Kim cupped his mouth, watching him sternly...
"We just want to go home." She said.
"I'll arrange a GJ chopper to take you back now."
"Hey, we could have been set for life..." Ron said to Kim, who just pulled him to the landing pad...
And so in a matter of minutes, a GJ chopper was transporting Kim and Ron back to their apartment. It was good to be on their way home.
