Just Forget the World…
Yamanouchi, Mid Day:
In the center of a classroom, a group of instructors and school security surround Yori and are filling her in on what they have found so far. Each person takes a turn answering her questions and offering advice on how to proceed.
Kim quietly assumes a Lotus position in the corner of the room, out of the way. She is still shaking with fear as her thoughts grow dark with the implications of what could have just happened.
She knows she is safe for now and attempts to conquer her fear by eliminating the negative thoughts from her head. As she starts to silently repeat her mantra, the fear begins to leave her. Visions of her home and family fill her thoughts and she can see Ron, standing there in front of her, in his mission clothes. She can hear his voice. He is calling her name.
"Kim, Kim, can you hear me? Kim, my love, can you hear me?"
Kim closes her eyes tightly and can actually feel his presence moving towards her. She tries to answer in her mind. Ron, I am here. Ronnie, I can hear you.
In her mind, she can see him step towards her, stoop down and look her right in the face, "KP. Thank goodness you are ok. It's going to be alright. I am coming to get you. We are on our way. No Big sweetheart, I will not let anyone hurt you. I love you."
She can hear herself respond to him in her mind, I know, I love you too. But Ron I am scared, something bad has happened.
"Don't be afraid my love," and he gives her one of his classic goofy grins. "Wade is aware and Team Possible has been alerted. We are flying in by plane and will need clearance. Can Yori help us with that? I will be there within a few hours. We are bringing equipment to help."
The vision of Ron suddenly disappears as a hand touches her shoulder, bringing her back to reality. "Kim-san, are you alright?" Kim opens her eyes and sees Yori standing beside her, it was her hand that touched Kim.
"I am fine, Sensei. I was just sitting over here out of the way, and I guess I got a bit sleepy and started dreaming that I was talking to Ron. I woke up when you touched my shoulder." Kim notices that everyone in the room had stopped talking and was standing around her.
"But Kim-san, this may not have been a dream. I was not aware that you shared Ron-san's Mystical Monkey Power, but your eyes were glowing blue and there was a faint blue aurora surrounding you. You were talking to Ron-san? Did he say anything?"
"Yes, Sensei, He said they were aware of the situation and were on their way here. Ron said he would be here shortly although I lost him before we could go any further. Oh, he mentioned needing clearance to enter Japanese airspace. I guess that means he is flying in?"
"I am sorry Kim-san, I was not aware that you two shared such a bond. I did not mean to interrupt you and break your link. We will make arrangements for their arrival immediately." Kim could see sorrow in Yori's eyes.
"That is alright Sensei. I only thought it was a dream, it just felt so real. All I know is now I feel much better and I know Ron will take care of me, wherever he is." Kim closes her eyes and tries to reestablish the connection, but nothing happens. Kim could feel tears start up in her eyes as all she could bring back was Ron saying "I will not let anyone hurt you. I love you."
Love you too Ronnie, hurry sweetheart, I need you.
Transport, outside Japan:
Shego paces, if you can pace in this small compartment. She is very uptight, somewhat upset, and definitely bored out of her skull. We are flying in a plane that can make who knows times the speed of sound, on an six hour flight and no one remembered to supply an in-flight movie in this place? The only change of pace had been the two in-flight refuelings they did, once before leaving US continental airspace, and the second upon entering it again near Hawaii. Hell Big Betty, aka Doctor Director herself of Global Justice, wouldn't even let her sit in the cockpit and watch.
She tried to talk with Ron, but they quickly ran out of topics and eventually just sat there and stared at each other. Then for the last two hours she couldn't even do that, he had sat down on the floor, closed his eyes and seemed to pretty much tune out the rest of the world. Being a former member of Team Go, she was used to seeing people do weird things, hell she kept wondering when someone could figure out her own green glow. But she had never actually seen Ron do what he did in the bedroom earlier today. She could see him even now, reaching out for Kim in nearly the same way, except the blue glow only seem to come from around his closed eyelids and nowhere else.
Suddenly he opened his eyes and spoke to her, "Kim seems to be ok, although something weird is going on there at the school. I wonder how much longer until we get there?"
As if taking this as her cue, Dr. Director leaves the cockpit and come back to their compartment. "I was just contacted by a high official in the Japanese Air force. We have received clearance from Japan to enter their airspace. It seems someone high up in the Japanese Government is aware of who we are and where we are going?" She looks at Ron and raises her right eyebrow. "I wonder how that is possible since we have not been in contact with anyone concerning our flight plan since we left Middleton?"
Ron just gives a slight smile, "Actually 'Big Betty', you hit the nail on the head when you said 'Possible', although now she only uses the name Stoppable." He gets up and starts to stretch his legs, "So when will we be close enough to jump?"
Big Betty looks directly at him and starts to puzzle, "Why jump, there is a landing area thirty minutes away? Jumping would only save you maybe ten minutes?"
Ron looks at her and starts to check his chute. "That's ten minutes I choose not to waste. Shego, are you up for a 3k freefall?"
Shego just laughs, "Only 3,000 feet, do I have to uses a chute? Hey Ron, wanna bet who lands first?"
Ron starts laughing as Big Betty heads back to the cockpit. "I'll let you two know when to go! We will be over the target in a few minutes."
Cavalry:
The security at the school was almost bordering on paranoia. Silence was the norm, all communication done by nonverbal means. All the students started volunteering to pull double shifts on the watches. A leaf didn't move in the compound that wasn't observed by a dozen sets of eyes, from various locations. The watch on the walls was now nearly a solid wall of ninja standing side by side, all staring out into the surrounding mountainside. Double patrols were now moving outside the walls and down the path to the road, many unseen as the older students put their skills and training to the test. Everyone was determined that the incident would not happen again. The missing students had been found safe and returned to a grateful Hirotaka, but they remembered nothing.
In the sky above, however, laughter was heard as the two former adversaries were now taunting each other with who would pull their chute first. The freefall, coming in the early evening, at the school, was spectacular. Ron could see Dr. Director's private aircraft circling around to land. He and Shego landed in the center of the school compound, at nearly the same time.
And they were instantly surrounded by dozens of ninja, dressed in both black and white uniforms, and fully armed to the teeth with various weapons.
Ron stopped laughing and held out his hands in front of him, palm open, showing he had no weapons. Shego started to raise her hands into a defensive position, only to have a six very large ninja place the edges of their weapons directly into her face and across her throat. She then lowered her hands to her sides, and snapped at Ron. "So Stoppable, what's the plan now, die with dignity?"
Ron lowered his left hand and then raised the right hand up above his head, "Here magic sword, Come on boy." Instantly the Lotus Blade appeared in his hand and he closed his fingers around the hilt. He brought the sword down to his side and shouted at the crowd surrounding them. "I am Ron Stoppable, Master of the Lotus Blade and the Mystic Monkey Warrior of Yamanuchi. I have returned."
As if they were of one body, all the students lowered their weapons and bowed. The oldest of the group spoke first. "Pardon us, honorable one. We were not aware of your coming, and much has happened recently to justify such defense of the school."
Ron walked over to Shego and placed his hand on her arm. "I am aware of the situation and have brought help to correct any wrongdoing. I have come to return honor to the name of Yamanuchi." Ron turned toward the house of the Sensei.
"RON!" was the only warning he had as a red headed, green eyed blur leaped up into the air and hit him with full force. She completely enveloped him, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. The force of the impact knocking him nearly off his feet, but it was the resulting kiss which brought him to his knees.
"Ron, Ron, My Ron, I knew you'd come to rescue me," she whispered into his ear. Tears started flowing down her face as her head dug itself into its familiar spot on between his neck and shoulder, "Ron I was so scared, you will never believe what happened?"
Ron raised his arm with the Lotus Blade into the air, the blade disappears from his hand, returning to its shrine. He then pulls her into a tighter embrace, "Oh KP, everything will be alright. I've always had your back, no one messes with my wife." The strong quick kisses are quickly replaced by a long slower one.
Shego walks over to the couple and loudly clears her throat, "You two want to take this somewhere private, you are embarrassing the children here. Personally I just want to get started, so if you two don't mind, can we go inside."
Ron walks toward Sensei's house, still carrying Kim across his upper body, her arms and legs still wrapped around him. At the base of the steps leading up to the porch he stops and Kim releases her grip on him and stands up on her own feet. Yori and Hirotaka, surrounded by her guards, approach him and all of them bow. Shego simply stands there, with her arms folded across her chest. Yori turns her head and nods in Shego's direction. "Welcome Shego-sama. Your skills as a warrior are known to us and we welcome you to our school."
Ron speaks up, "Sensei, we brought someone else with us as well. She is piloting an aircraft that has landed nearby. Please send word to the guards to let her past, and send help to her. We brought communication equipment and medical supplies with us which will need to be unloaded."
Yori turns to Hirotaka, who in turn signals to one of the guards, who bows and then quickly runs off toward the main gate of the school. The five of them enter the building to discuss what has happened.
