Revenge and Reversal
Chapter 38
Global Justice Headquarters:
"Up and at em prick!", came the wakeup call from hell at the door, complete with what appeared to be a twelve pound sledgehammer clanging along the metal bars of the cell being used by an enraged maniac.
"What do you want?", the artist moaned snapping awake at the interruption to his troubled slumber.
"You're gonna go see your relatives.", the voice sounded again.
"Your letting me go?", Josh asked in amazement jumping up and reveling in his realized victory, "Man I knew that being a Mankey counted for something. Tell that asshole Stoppable I'll let him have his brat if he gives me all his money and Kim's jewelry...Maybe!"
His triumph suddenly faded into shock as when he focused on his 'alarm clock'.
"In your dreams little man.", Ron smirked, "We have plans for you. Did you know that back in the day, I shot a terrorist in the kneecap? And that everything below the knee almost came off ."
Then looking coldly in Josh's eyes, "It was kinda neat in a gross sorta way. I wonder what happened to him? Oh well never mind, I think the locals over there wanted to invite him to a neck tie ceremony. With him being the guest of honor. I have trouble remembering his name now."
Still in the euphoria of the deluded, the blond ex-schoolmate of Ron Stoppable looked on in amusement as the door swung open. "I'm freeee!", he gloated, paying no mind to the warning given when blood suddenly flew out of his mouth, a fist did connecting solidly with his jaw.
"Stoppable the asshole says HI Josh, how ya doin'?", Ron growled as he raised the huge glowing hammer that suddenly appeared as if by magic, then brought it down with a tremendous thud on Josh's foot, breaking more than half the bones in it. A scream coming from Josh.
"Let's get one thing straight monkey boy…You. Are. A. Dead. Man. And so is that family of yours." Ron and Will Du (who had followed) then bound and gagged Josh Mankey, ready to lead him out to the car.
To Will he asked, "Sir could you have a couple of your Agents who have a high tolerance to arrogance and stupidity take my little friend out to the car?"
"Sure Stoppable...uh I'd love to come with you, but are you sure you don't need help keeping him in line?", Du asked. Then seeing Ron's look he added, "Yeah I guess you're right. If you need help with this clown you'd have to turn your Hero Card in."
"I don't want you to risk your career for this asshole Will. Thanks for all you've done.", Ron replied as he put the coat over Josh's shoulders and clinched the belt while he waited for the Agents to arrive, "And that's not a 'Hero Card' it's a 'Sidekick Card'."
"Uh where are your Japanese friends?", Will asked now realizing he hadn't seen them during the walk to the cells from the hanger.
"I sent them ahead to the Mankey place. I only wanted firearms at the ball field.", Ron replied.

Forty minutes earlier:
Wade looked at the phone number on his computer as the incoming call flashed in red. "Is this Team Possible? We wanna talk to Possible's prick husband.", a gruff male voice coldly told him.
"Hold on I have to get him on his cell phone.", Wade replied, "Who can I tell him is calling?"
"The guys that have his child! Hurry up we're getting restless.", the guy ordered.
"He'll be on the line in thirty seconds.", Wade told them holding them off.
"Ron this is Wade.", the genius had him on his cell, "You got Anna right?"
Ron replied, "Yeah she's with the Drs. P and she's surrounded by GJ people. Why?"
"Somebody just called in claiming to have her and wants to talk to you.", Wade warned.
"Put him through, let's see where this goes. Listen in Wade.", Ron ordered.
There was a series of clicks.
"Stoppable here, who am I talking to?", Ron asked.
"Suddap asshole and listen up and listen good. We have your brat. If you want her back meet me at the Horton Park in two hours. Come alone and bring all your money and the bitch's jewels.", the voice ordered, "Did I make myself clear? I didn't use words too big for you did I?"
Ron quickly replied, "You made yourself perfectly clear, but you want a lot of stuff on a claim that you have Anna. I want to hear my daughter's voice. Put her on."
"I don't have time to put her on. Meet me at the under the light on the third base side of baseball field three in two hours.", the voice instructed, "And come alone, if we see anyone we start killing."
"Two hours? In the middle of the night? How do you think I'm gonna get all that stuff. I mean the jewels are in a safety deposit box and I can only get about thirty million unless I open the bank and rob it.", Ron explained knowing that GJ was recording the whole thing so he was stalling.
"I don't care how you do it. If you ever wanna see your brat again you'll have everything in two hours.", the voice warned.
"OK, OK hold on, I'll get what I can, but I can't promise anything over fifty million and what I can get of the set, I'm gonna have to take the rings off my wife though.", Ron told him.
"Just do it and remember, two hours after we off the kid then we'll start working on your wife's friends too.", the voice ended the call.
"Ron, are you alright? I monitored the call.", Wade asked.
"Are you sure that Anna's safe?", Ron muttered coldly after waiting a couple of seconds to answer.
"Yeah ask Deputy Director Du Ron. He's right with you there.", Wade told him.
"Hang on a minute buddy.", Ron replied to his long time friend.
"Will where is my child?", Ron asked, "You heard the ransom call over the phone."
"Here use my phone and call Kim's parents.", the Agent told him, "I know you're a bit confused right now, but I have fifty troops outside their home right now. Those guys are pissed and loaded for bear."
"Good, good keep them that way I have to meet with these people. Get me some monopoly money and some cheap costume jewelry. Tell my Team where to meet and get the sniper teams moving out.", Ron ordered.
"Since I have to get the stuff I want to make a phone call to my In-laws to make sure everything is good."
Will told him as he put a hand on Ron's shoulder, "You know it's a setup, what are you going to do?"
Without hesitation, "Kill them."

A minute later Ron could hear the comforting voice of his Mother-in-law, "Mrs. P this is Ron. I'm just checking on Anna to make sure she's fine...Uh could you look in on her please, I'm just an old worrywart."
"Just a moment Ronald, let me get her…. Oh, I don't think you'll be able to talk to her right now, she's sleeping like the angel she is.", Anne informed him, "Now why did you call?"
"I just got a ransom call through the website. I guess it was a prank from someone who found out what happened.", he explained not wanting to worry her, "I'll take care of this. No worries, ok?"
"Honey people are sick like that. Kimmie's alright now and I'll take Anna up to see her in the morning. Oh and she demanded Bueno Nacho when we brought her home. Usually she's not so two year oldish if you know what I mean, do you know why that is Ronald?", Anne asked.
"Uh yeah, about that Mrs. P, I guess that was my fault. I used a promise of BN to get her to calmly go with Tom Wilson. Things were starting to catch fire at Hall's lair and I wanted her safe with family.", Ron explained.
"Well she's fine now. Do you want to let her stay at our house tonight? It's no problem.", she told him, "And don't worry about Anna's safety GJ has a bunch of men outside."
"Uh yeah Mrs. P...I have a couple of things to take care of here at GJ. Listen I love you guys, take care of KP and my kids alright?", he asked both not wanting to tell her what he had planned and what the dangers could be.
"Yes Ronald and make sure you get some sleep, you've been going at it too hard.", she advised.
"Yes Ma'am I fully intend to after I take care of a few things.", Ron promised.
Twenty minutes later Ron, with two huge suitcases and a briefcase, was getting ready to drive a GJ staff vehicle to Horton Park. The suitcases were filled with fake money and the briefcase had a handful of rings and necklaces in it, the value combined was less then five hundred bucks. Ron was wearing a borrowed wool overcoat from GJ's stores for the cold. Thinking again Ron went back in and picked up a second coat for his passenger. Two Agents helped Ron with the bags and Josh since he wasn't moving too well with the shattered foot. The wannabe villain couldn't do much though he did moan quite well.
"You want me to give him something for the pain Mr. Stoppable?", an Agent named Berry Dingle asked.
"Nah I'll take care of it for ya.", Ron replied busting Josh in the chops.

Horton Park. Jumperton, Colorado:
Six white and green camouflaged forms moved silently through the trees, almost hidden by the snow currently falling.
They had the baseball fields surrounded and were taking their over watch positions when Tom Wilson noticed a pickup truck pulling into the parking lot near the field where Ron was to meet with his kidnappers.
"We got company.", he whispered.
"Yeah two guys with rifles getting out of that pick up truck. I wonder who's side they're on?", Albert Harris commented lowly over his radio.
"Yeah I wonder. Lets make sure we have them covered I got a funny feeling about this.", Ben Turner replied in almost a whisper over his radio.
Charley Yates was covering the parking lot and watched as two men got out with their rifles; then as the pickup truck pulled away. As the two walked to the field through the deepening snow Yates keyed his mic, "Do you want em dead now or later?"
"We can't do anything till they pull the trigger. Shit this sucks.", Walter Harris hissed knowing GJ's rules of engagement. Nonetheless he waited until the two separated and made their way up the hillside.
Walt then heard Crenshaw's voice, "This is Sniper Two I have the subject on the Southeast hillside, Walt you take the one on the eastern end. You don't have to shoot him, just sight him in, in case he's here to jump Stoppable."
Shorty growled softly as he looked out for his master. "Sssshh buddy. Relax and stay down.", Alan Crenshaw calmed his furry friend.
"Roger Sniper Two I copy you on the southeastern rifleman, I have the eastern one.", Walt replied as he packed down the snow before him and locked down the bipod legs of the heavy rifle. He then sighted in on the man he might have to put a bullet in, musing that their adversaries hadn't considered the possibility, in their plans to ambush Ron, of other rifles sighting in on them.
For his part Alan Crenshaw had done this before many times in all sorts of terrains and climates. The mountain setting scenarios always came back to haunt him, turning his life into one of survival of self.

The Mankey Compound:
"Hi sweet stuff. Nobody else is around, wanna get started?", a scruffy, fat balding, barely six-toothed, ingrate asked Tara Turner.
"Only if you take a bath sweetheart.", Tara replied sweetly.
Bruce Mankey-George, trying to jump the line, snuck out to the underground 'hotel' the Mankey family had built for their new 'girlfriends'. He was ready to unlock Tara's door and take advantage of the moment. Almost everyone was at the party except for those out taking care of Stoppable at what was supposed to be an exchange of his daughter for money and jewelry.
"Why? None of the Mankey women care? Now that you're Mankey women you shouldn't care either.", he told her.
"Uh some of us have certain standards jerk. But anyway, just so you can't say I didn't tell you when it hits the fan, and whether or not you realize it, it will," Tara slyly toyed with her jailor, "I'm married to a trained killer…well actually he's closer to an assassin, due to his previous line of work… And when you finally do meet him, and I just know you will, the last thing you'll want to be known for is climbing in the sack with me. Now run along whoever you are, and talk to Jamie, I think she decided to have an all girl party.", the platinum blonde sweetly chided Bruce as she screwed with his mind.
"Nobody else said anything are you sure?", Bruce asked a little nervous about the way the blonde handled the situation.
"Hey all I know is what they were talking about.", Tara replied, "You don't want to make Jamie unhappy now, do you?"
"Uh...no. I'll uh...see ya later when you're not so busy.", the obese ingrate told her seriously.
After he left Bonnie began to laugh. "Now that was good Tara. I never figured you to do a mind screw like that on anybody."
"Yeah but don't count on it to last. Somebody is going to figure it out eventually, nobody can be that stupid. I just hope this Jamie stays busy for a while.", Tara said as she looked over at Bonnie's sister and could see the tears in her eyes.
"Come over here Jonnie let me see you.", Tara comforted the younger woman.

On the way to Horton Park:
Ron pulled over in a driveway on the two lane road they'd been traveling on for the last half hour for a moment to make sure his passenger was both secure and his gag was still in place.
Seeing he had such a captive audience, Ron started to explain things to his wife's ex. "That's a good thug Monkey boy. Now what would you like on your tombstone: 'Monkey Boy Lies Here?' 'Amy's Boyfriend?' 'Here Lies a Drunken Sot', something like that?"
"You know she didn't say much when I about cut her in half a few hours ago."
Seeing the shocked look Ron added to the misery of the artist, "And by the way, we got my daughter back too."
Then shaking his head in exasperation, "But it sorta miffs me off that your family is actually trying to extort from me when they don't even have anything to trade."
Slumping in his seat as all his plans seemed to be falling apart Josh's head was suddenly spun to either side. "Hey! Hey! I'm talking to you.", as Ron slapped him across the face a couple of times reinforcing to him that Ron Stoppable might just about be the biggest prick Josh had ever met, "Which makes me think that this is a setup."
"Anyway your cousins and uncles and whatever else they seem to be are looking forward to seeing you again. I just can't believe they think that I'm this stupid.", Ron chatted on as Josh got more nervous as his 'driver' went on, "You see me and my friends are killers. Now we were willing to let bygones be bygones and just forget about the past."
"But you guys didn't want to play nice. When you attacked my wife and daughter...You know as nice a guy as I am it still pisses me off that you broke into my house and kidnapped my little girl...What did I ever do to either of you for you to do something like that?...and you injured Kim and the babies she was carrying. If they had died you would be facing three counts of murder."
Letting this sink in, "Now since I have a LOT of money I think I could somehow arrange to bring the gas chamber out of retirement just for you guys and we could put you all in the chamber sorta like what the Nazis did to the Jews in World War II and get it all over at once and that's always in the back of my mind since I am one...I mean a Jew you know. But knowing the state and the press they just might want to drag it out for a few years. Ya know I saw accounts on how guys died in the chamber...it was interesting in a morbid kind of way. I guess he tried to hold his breath...It didn't work, just prolonged it.", the former Ranger smiled evilly wondering if he needed to include what the body looked like, but decided the artist didn't deserve that kind of punishment.
Seeing his passenger pale Ron continued, "Moving on now let's talk about my sister-in-law. Because of you and your posse, she almost lost her life and her child. Now I have a few friends that are ninjas, she's one of them by the way, and they've been trying to figure out the slowest and most painful kind of death for you to experience because of your little rampage at my house..."
Coldly looking him dead in the eyes, "And I really considered turning you over to them." Shrugging, "But me I'm a nice guy, I made you healthy again, well except for the foot ya know...I just did that to give you something to think about. But since then I've just gotten madder and madder about something I just learned about. So Joshie boy, you wanna know what's gonna happen in a little while?"
Ron paused again as Josh sat frozen in his seat, all levity gone in Ron's voice, "See I just monitored a radio message through my ear bud...Now where I'm supposed to meet these guys to give them the jewelry and money...they've set out some guys with rifles around the meeting place. I'll bet you're wondering how I know this...Well being the suspicious bastard that I am I sent my friends...you know the ones who killed everyone in your Idaho..."
Looking at Josh with an amused smirk, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't look at me like that. My kid was chipped... Now where was I...oh yeah your Idaho hideout? Anyway my buddies are all over that little park. We have our snipers watching your two snipers. It's gonna be fun, if they pull the trigger so will my friends."
Then shrugging, "If not they get to live for another hour or so. Oh see, here we are already at the park. What do ya know; a little conversation helps to make the trip faster doesn't it?"
Ron ended his one way chatter with his former classmate as he pulled into the snow filled parking lot. "Now lucky for you I have you in a nice warm car. Sure it's not as warm as hell, but I'm sure in time we'll arrange for you to learn all about that too. You wait here, I'll be back in a while.", the Ranger told him after securing Josh's cuffs to an eyebolt in the dashboard and making sure that the gag was secured.
He got out, pulled the two large bags and the suitcase from his SUV's storage, and then lugged them over to the light pole as he had been instructed two hours earlier. Ron waited for a few minutes when another car showed up, a man and a woman got exiting the vehicle.
The former Ranger noted that the two had shined a side-mounted floodlight into his car before they continued to the light post. After speaking to each other the two masked people made their way through the heavy snow to the light. 'Well I wonder what they're gonna have to say about Monkey Boy.', Ron mused as he waited for them to get to him.
"Are you Stoppable?", the woman asked.
"Does it matter?", Ron replied.
"It matters to us.", she retorted.
"Yeah I'm Stoppable. Now I have the suitcases full of money, big bills 'cause you can't believe how much room is needed for a hundred million bucks. Ya just can't lug that kind of money around.", Ron told them.
"A hundred million?", she asked.
"Yeah that's all I could get my hands on that fast.", Ron replied, "You don't know how much hassle it was."
"Where's the bitch's jewelry?", the man asked focused on what he was told to return with.
"Here in the briefcase.", Ron replied lifting it so that he could see it.
"Who's in the car?", the man inquired.
"Oh him? He's one of the guys that was in on the attempt on my house, I'm taking him down to Federal lockup. You should know him since he was part of this little episode.", Ron told them coldly, "Now that you've seen the suitcases and the briefcase, where is my child?"
"Uh we don't have her with us...", the man told Ron, "Give us the bags and we'll tell you where she's at. Oh, and we'll take Josh too."
"No deal. That wasn't what we agreed to asshole.", Stoppable became upset with these clowns.
"That's the new deal punk.", the man laughed, "Unless you want us to go bang on your kid."
"Think so?", Ron challenged finally having enough of this crap.
"Yeah.", the woman shrieked as she dove away pulling the man with her.
"Down!", a voice crackled over Ron's ear bud just before diving to the side, a bullet passing through the spot he was in only a moment before.
Moments later the cracks of a .308 chambered rifle and the unmistakable boom of a .50 caliber echoed in the snow filled night. Ron also heard the reports of the two .458 SOCOMs as they fired full auto. Moments later there were two large crimson spots on the faces of the hills surrounding the ballparks.
Shrieking, the woman reacted by pulling a handgun and taking aim at the former Ranger.
Six rounds entered her body before Courtney Melvin Mankey could even point the barrel of her pistol towards Ron Stoppable; one of them splitting her head open.
Harvey 'Big Ed' Mankey grabbed a suitcase and tried to make a run for it. He too pulled a handgun and pointed it at the former Middleton Mascot. Ron, seeing he didn't have much time, his already drawn 'knife' morphed into an impenetrable shield just before six .357 rounds struck it. Suddenly the former Ranger closed the distance with the Mankey high society celebrity as the 'knife' changed back into its normal blue Katana form.
Faster than Harvey's eyes could follow, a bright blue arc flashed through his right arm, midway between his elbow and the hand gripping his now empty six-shooter.
"Ahhhhhhhh.", the ingrate screamed as he realized his right hand and most of his forearm were now lying in the snow of the parking lot.
"Let me go, let me go.", the ingrate pleaded to the glowing form standing less then three feet from him, "I'll tell you where your daughter is."
"Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, I know for a fact that you don't have Anna. We knew where she was from the moment she was taken. And since you guys are so new to super villainy, you made a rookie mistake by not getting shit-for-brains released when you drove up." nodding towards his car, "Because if you did Josh could have told you to get out of here. You see I have Anna. We picked her up in Idaho about four hours ago. Now before you die, do you have anything to say?", Ron growled.
"Please sidekick, don't..."
Big Ed never got to finish as the left half of his body parted ways from his right half as they fell away from each other into the snow.
Ron half turned as he heard steps coming towards him. "Hey pretty neat Ron I'd have to give that a higher cool factor then your drowning those two guys back in the jungle.", Ben Turner told him.
"Yeah Sarge that was neat though not as weird as your wife trying to put a bullet through ya.", Tom Wilson chuckled as he looked over the two red pieces of human laying before him then he notice something that he thought that he should point out, "Uh Sarge you didn't get him exactly in half look there's more on the right side then the left."
"Well thanks for the critique Wilson, I knew that I could always count on you to show me where I could always do better.", Ron grunted, "But I'm not gonna put him back together just for your pleasure, though it is an interesting idea cause we could take turns killing him then. Uh you wanna call the cleanup crew somebody? I think it's time to pay our friends a little visit. Yori and Hiro are there already with Wanda and Suzie and if we don't get there soon then they might start without us. And that other ninja team has got to want to go home soon."
"Hey don't leave me out of the fun, these guys ain't going anywhere. Not only that, but those assholes have my fiancée and I want my kisses for rescuing her.", Wilson replied as he pulled out his cell phone and made the connection to GJ as the rest of the Team climbed down from the hillside.
Ron looked at the smiling grunts, "Listen we have to rescue some of my friends. We're just gonna leave these bodies here for now."
"Sounds like an idea, dogs will find them if ya lose them right Shorty.", Crenshaw nodded to his buddy who was relieving himself on one of them, "Good boy, he was marking his territory."
"I guess the mutt's shown his distaste for these people too.", Albert laughed as the rest of them got down to the parking lot.
"Hey Sarge I got two GJ hover jets on the way here. They have a cleanup crew on one of them for the mess you made.", Tom Wilson told them.
"Good I don't wanna waste anymore time. Get Monkey Boy out of my car. I don't want him to miss anything.", Ron ordered.
"Keys to the cuffs?", Albert asked, "Unless you want me to cut his hands off instead."
"Here ya go Bert. Don't lose this clown. He shouldn't get far with a smashed foot though.", Ron offered the keys.
"Thanks Ron. As always it's a pleasure doing business with you.", he chuckled as he opened the car and reached for the former artist.
Josh tried to talk so Albert being the nice guy he was pulled the gag ball out of his mouth to find out what he had to say.
"You killed them, you killed Courtney and Big Ed how could you?", Josh screeched at them.
"Uh I see you didn't get a good look punk cause there's two more up on the hillsides. One of them doesn't have anything inside his head right now.", Sergeant Harris told Josh with a smile.
"They didn't do anything to you..."
"They were going to snipe Sergeant Stoppable and they were in on the kidnapping of Wilson's fiancée and Turner's wife. They committed felonies. We are deputized law enforcement agents asshole.", Albert told him.
"But we're Mankey's.", Josh fell over the butt stock of an M-16 smashed into his chest knocking him on his ass in the deep snow.
"Go ahead and say it, say you're better than anyone else around here. Go ahead and call Sarge a loser.", Tom Wilson threatened whipping the assault rifle so that the business end was aimed at Josh Mankey's reproductive organs with his finger beginning to squeeze the trigger, "I am sick at the way you people here treated him, just like in my hometown."
Josh looked at the black rifle in terror; it was all fun when he was pointing the black gun. While in his mind he knew the barrel diameter was only slightly larger than a .22, but to the artist it looked like a cannon pointed at an area he feared losing right now.
For one of the few times over the course of the last eight or nine years the artist showed some brains and kept his trap shut.
A few minutes later the two hover jets landed and dropped off the crews. Team Possible informed the GJ men of the four corpses and their location. The GJ guys grabbed four body bags and began their search of the area.
"Take both hovers, we'll call in another unit once we get done cleaning this mess.", an elderly Agent told Ron as he remembered the young man from the days when the younger teen used to help his best friend in saving the world.
Seeing the hardened young man he mused, 'This one has been through hell; I sure don't want to get between him and whoever pissed him off.'
With hand signals that they had developed Ron motioned for the snipers to jump on one transport while the rest of the team got on the second one. Ron made the other craft take off fifteen minutes before he did. He wanted those men in place before he began his attack.

The Mankey Compound an hour previously:
"Jamie, come on. We can party with the new girls while the guys take care of Possible's husband.", Bruce begged.
"When I asked for volunteers I told you what was at stake. I'll even wait for them to get done.", Chunky told him.
"But I'm older I have seniority."
"And you have no intestinal fortitude. We'll wait 'cause with Stoppable out of the picture we can take our time and party right.", Jamie told him. "Listen let's go upstairs and I'll make it worth your while."
"But I wanna try out the new girls. I wanted that widow and we didn't get her.", he whined.
"I know, it's not always fair is it Brucie?", she asked in a comforting tone patting him on the back before she led him upstairs for come 'consoling'.
X
Later:
"Hsssst."
"Hssst.", an annoying sound came again.
Tara Turner opened one eye and asked, "What is it?"
Almost in a whisper a soft voice cautioned very near the blonde's ear, "Only in whispers Tara-san."
"Suzie?", Tara asked wide-eyed
"Hai.", came the soft reply.
"Can you get us out?", Tara asked her old coach hidden in the shadows.
"Not at this time, the area is being watched and a battle is sure to begin soon. We do not wish you to get caught in the crossfire.", Suzie told them, "It is much safer for you here until the Rangers appear."
"I'll tell everyone.", Tara told her.
"No not until your men get here. Otherwise the Mankey's may find out. Once the battle is over we will free you.", the lithe ninja whispered.
Hope Chang watched Tara get up and seem to speak to someone, she couldn't make it out. "Pssssttt, Tara.", the Chinese-American woman whispered.
She saw that she had the blonde's attention. She gave the shrug signal. Tara pointed to her watch and lay down on her cot motioning to Hope to make sure that she mimicked her actions, and then nodded.
'Whatever is going down I have to be alert I have a kid and two pregnant women here with me. I have to try to protect them.', Hope Chang mused. She didn't know it but help was almost to them and even more her fiancée would have been very proud of her.

The party was in full swing, there was dancing (such as it was) and 'other' activities going on. A red faced Chunky came down the steps followed by an equally red faced ingrate when the living room glass suddenly shattered.
"What the hell was that?", Wilma Klug yelled.
She was answered as a black rifle appeared in the window and began firing above the heads of the partygoers.
Two Mankey's, Bernice Gaffney and Alice Melvin, quickly dove to the sofa where they had hidden their guns. Alice rose first and took three bullets in the chest for her efforts. Eyes open, she fell on her cousin.
"Alice honey!", Bernice screamed as she aimed at the window from which streams of light came in at three angles. Bernice slumped, her chest exploded in red before hitting the floor.
Suddenly it was deathly quiet. Not a sound was heard until the sound of a large caliber rifle firing was heard off in the distance.
"The lights!", Jamie screamed as they began to flicker a minute later.
"We got a generator, we're fine.", Raul Ritz tried to calm them.
X
Moments earlier:
"There ya go Walt two more rounds in that generator then switch to the mains.", Crenshaw laughed, "Man I gotta try that thing! Shit I'll bet I could down a Polar Bear with one round."
Without a sound, only taking suggestions from his spotter and his other sniper, Walt Harris continued to destroy the power sources for the Mankey compound. He was three rounds into his second magazine when the area went dark. Since the generator had already been disabled with several half inch holes in it the engine never even got a decent chance to start.
"Are those our people?", Crenshaw worried as he called out.
"Keep them in your sights.", the order came through the radios.
"OK they're not ninjas and not any of our people, but we can't tell who they are.", Crenshaw called.
"I have Team Twelve with me.", Ron called out.
"I have Team Panther aiding the detainees. Hold your fire, cease fire.", a voice called out.
Crenshaw whispered into his mic, "They're making their way to the detention cells, be ready down there."
"Yes we understand. Please turn your attention to the main house.", a woman's voice instructed, "We will call for assistance if needed."
X
In the cells:
Bonnie looked around in fear as the lights began to fail. "What's going on?", she asked fearfully.
Tara called out, "I don't know but relax Bonnie. Jonnie come to the bars and take my hand honey."
"Bonnie come over here. I think the guys are coming. Darkness is the time of the Rangers and the Ninja...That's what Tommy told me more than once.", Hope urged her to come closer and take her hand.
"SLAM!" And the lights finally died.
"There's someone coming. Unless we know who it is don't make a sound.", Tara instructed.
X
The main house:
"What's that?", Chunky gasped as she saw four flashes and then smoke billowing around their feet.
"What is that?", Bruce moaned as he sank to the floor.

The detention cells:
In the dark Tara and the other girls heard the quick struggles that stopped very quickly.
"Tara-san we are releasing you and the rest of our friends. Please take your coats, stay with us and do exactly what we say.", Wanda Wang said, now shining a small flashlight and making use of a set of keys she had removed from the doorway to the underground chamber.
The four terrified women were led out of their cages by the four ninjas they had met before at Ron's and Kim's home. "We must stay here until the Rangers come to make sure that no one fires on us. We have the skills to get by, however I don't believe that I wish to trust your lives to Walter's trigger finger right now.", Hiro explained to the women.
"Uh Yori what were those things down by the stairs?", Hope asked as she noticed forms lying on the floor while they were led out.
"Those are some who wanted to do you harm, do not think of them any more. They are of no consequence.", the unseen ninja told her with a whisper, "Again take heed and wait. You are safe here."
"Why is that?", Bonnie asked.
"We do not have very stable communications at the moment and we wish for the situation to calm down before we take you out of here.", Yori told them, "It is very dangerous outside at the moment."
Sporadic shots were being fired though not as bad as they were a few minutes ago.

"Hey guys why don't ya go and get the girls out of there and back to the hospital to be checked out.", Ron suggested as he could see hardly see members of Team Twelve at the house.
"Are you sure you're gonna be OK Sarge.", Tom Wilson asked.
"Yeah I'll be fine, thanks. Oh and go ahead and get the transport hovers in here to get all the guys out.", Ron told him.
"Don't want witnesses do ya?", Albert asked.
"Uh this is sorta a Yamanouchi thing...Can one of you guys bring little Joshie in here before you go?", the hooded visage of Ron Stoppable asked.
"You mean the gimp? Yeah sure Yates has him outside. I might have to carry him though you really did a number on that foot. He might have to have it amputated.", Ben Turner looked at him trying to figure out what Stoppable was going to do next.
"Yeah well after you get him in here you coordinate with Crenshaw and Walt and see to the ladies. Uh, don't let them come up here. I don't want them to get a case of the willies.", Ron instructed his team.
Less then two minutes later a gasping, moaning and weeping Josh Mankey was hauled to the living room and unceremoniously dumped to the floor.
"Here he is are you sure that you don't need any help?", Ben asked in hopes of staying to see what his former automatic rifleman had turned into.
"Thanks Sarge I think if you take the rest of the team over to the entrance of those underground chambers you and Wilson will find someone or I guess a couple someone's who would definitely love to see you and him. So head out and take the rest of the guys over there and get them to the hospital to be checked out. And could you look in on KP too? I haven't had a chance to hold my...our new babies yet and she might think she has to do it all herself.", Ron told him.
"We'll do that and check in on Anna too in the morning. See ya later Ron.", Turner replied as he led the others out and over the cells that Kim's friends had been held in.
After they left Josh demanded, "What are you going to do with me and my family loser?"
"Well Josh we are gonna have a little trial here. You see since you guys think that this area," Ron stood and raised his hands, "was an independent little country where United States laws or morals don't exist we are gonna impose some of our own on you here.", Ron began as he noticed several members of Team Twelve silently enter the living room of the main house.
"What do you mean impose? Ahhhhh!", Josh howled in pain after one of the gray clad ninjas 'accidentally' kicked his injured foot.
"Well Joshie Monkey-boy in a couple of minutes the rest of your family capable of waking should be aware enough so that I'll be able to continue. I don't want to waste any more breath on you than I have to, so be patient here.", Ron replied smiling to himself thinking about the pain Josh was in at the moment.
(Master are we ready to begin?), Sukura Intamu asked as four of his men followed him into the room leaving the rest of his force outside on guard.
(Once the guests have been taken to safety and we are alone with our friends here wake them. We don't prosecute people who are asleep.), Ron replied.
"What did he say?", Josh asked.
"He asked when he could kill you.", Ron replied.
"He WHAT?", Josh's eyes snapped open through his pain.
"Yeah Monkey boy, but I told him to be patient. All good things come to pass for those with patience.", Ron again smiled behind his mask.

"Sniper One and Sniper Two maintain over watch, we are entering the containment facility.", Albert Harris keyed his mic as Tommy Wilson yanked the heavy door open.
Two rifles lead the way as camouflaged men entered the room.
"Oh My GOD!", a woman's voice gasped as two rifles suddenly pointed at her.
"Put down your rifles Wilson-san and Turner-san.", another woman's voice instructed.
"You heard her Albert-chun.", Wanda's voice warmed up seeing her man.
"You guys alright?", Sergeant Harris asked quickly regaining his composure.
"Yes now inform Walter-san that we wish to leave and not to add any holes to us.", Wanda told him.
"Yeah just a second...Sniper One and Two we are leaving with the objects in our control and are awaiting pickup.", Albert told them after he keyed his mic, "GJ Transport...Sergeant Harris. I have ultraviolet strobe. I need pick up for four innocents and four guards. Copy?"
"We copy, good job. Do you want us to pick up the Sniper Team?", a voice replied.
"No, we are on the next flight.", Walt's voice cut in, "Please arrange pick up in ten. That is one zero minutes and have two more hovers inbound."
"Roger we copy.", the voice replied, "Please be advised that ground units will be on site in six zero minutes."
"Roger we copy, Leader do you copy?", Albert asked automatically.
After a few moments came the reply, "Roger, Leader copies."
Albert led the freed women out and to a wide space in the compound. "What's going on in there?", a wild eyed Bonnie Rockwaller asked as she had noticed some of the signs of battle and carnage from the recent firefight, as well as the current scene unfolding in the living room.
"Do not look in there Ma'am, you don't wanna know and we don't wanna know. The Sarge moved us out of there. I think this is kind of a retribution thing so please don't think about it anymore.", Charley Yates told her as they all turned away from the turbulence of the hover jet as it landed in the mini blizzard now raging in their midst.
Four minutes later the women, strapped into their seats, exited the compound. "The hospital is waiting for us and we're five minutes out.", a crew member told them as he got a nod from Albert Harris.
Hope Chang saw the visors raise as one of the men came over to her. "Tommy?", she asked as she reached for him.
"Yeah sorry about the trouble.", he muttered now that he was able to let his emotions show tightly hugging the woman he loved.
Tara was similarly engaged as well as well with another helmeted man.
Albert and Charley Yates bumped knuckles as they watched the happy scene, fully aware this was nearly over, yet remembering some friends were still in some kind of danger back at the compound.

The main house:
"Well it looks like the rest of your family is waking up Monkey boy.", Ron told his former schoolmate.
In the background they could all hear the whish of the silenced hover jet taking off.
Ron continued with a smile, "Now I see that you're all wondering about what is going to happen next. Just so you know, my people have killed several members of your family over the last month or so. You should have never attacked my family people. I take a very dim view of that and I, along with my friends, plan to do something about it."
"What are you going to do loser have your pants fall down?", Wilt Mankey laughed though the pain from his wounds.
(Kill him.), Ron told Intamu.
A sword flashed and Wilt's head bounced on the floor before the rest of his body slumped.
"You killed Wilt! God you killed Wilt!", Jamie looked on in horror.
"No we executed Wilt. There's a difference.", Ron replied coldly as he heard another jet taking off, "Now that I have your attention I think you now realize just how serious I am…. Let's begin."

Aboard the second hover jet:
Chris Campbell looked at his teammates shaking his head at the sight he accidentally glimpsed, "Damn Sarge is pissed isn't he?"
Walt Harris looked at his teammate, "After what those people planned to do to his family, and remember they started it, it's a wonder he just didn't nuke this place. Anyway we got the women out."
Alan Crenshaw caught the eye of the two former Rangers before he started, "I'm gonna tell you two something, there are people who think they are above the law like those clowns in that house. As for those who take women as sex slaves in the Twenty First Century, in the United States of America? I say screw em! Sometimes you have to protect your own to keep them safe. If what I heard before was true, that fat woman and those people that all looked alike back in Idaho and that clown we brought in here worked together in holding Mrs. Stoppable hostage all those years ago... Stoppable, the Sergeant I mean, was going to give them a pass if they left his family alone and let bygones be bygones.", he paused in his lecture to calm down.
Crenshaw continued, "Those people had a free pass forgive and forget. But did they just drop it? NO they did not. They wanted to prove their superiority and grabbed those women. Hell if you remember they took Stoppable's child and you saw his wife and sister-in-law. No that man is just protecting his own people. He has the right."
"Yeah but I wish I didn't have to see it.", Campbell replied.
"I'll bet that if someone took your wife Stoppable would be the first in line to do what's needed.", Alan told him.
"I know I know. I've seen the news about people stealing girls and young women to be used for sex, but I never thought that I would have seen it with my own eyes.", Chris lowered his eyes.
"You've seen it in other countries, what makes you think that they have the asshole market cornered over there? We have them in this country too. I'll tell you one thing those people I heard tried to tell everyone that the laws didn't apply in their compound back there. I think they are just finding out that other peoples' laws are gonna affect their lives. Listen lets just relax and safe our rifles while they drop us off at the hospital I want to see Bert for a few minutes.", Crenshaw replied.

Middleton General Hospital:
"But we're OK.", Bonnie Rockwaller groused.
"You're OK if I and the other doctors say you're OK Miss.", Dr. Hebert told her, "Anyway your Felix is waiting outside. I'll let him in if you just relax."
"Wheels is outside? OK I'll be good.", Bonnie quickly settled down.

Jonnie was getting an examination by another doctor but wasn't near as outgoing as her sister, "Is Wade here yet?", she asked.
"Yes Ma'am and he's patiently waiting for you to get done. I'll let him in while we wait on the X-rays.", a nurse told her.
X
Tara looked over at her husband with a tired smile as she reached for his hand. "We just have to wait for the results, but I think the baby is fine.", the staff OB-GYN told her with a smile.
"Honey why don't you look in on Kim and her babies for a minute.", she smiled.
"Yeah honey. I'll be right back.", Ben told her before he leaned over to give her a light kiss on the lips.
X
"Miss don't squirm I know this is painful.", the doctor dabbed Hope Chang's lips.
"Will you please let my fiancée in to see me?", she groused still upset at how she was treated by the Mankey's.

"Mr. Possible? I'm Ben Turner, Uh, I was.. well I and the men were wondering how Mrs. Possible is doing?", Ben asked after passing the open door and seeing Kim's brother.
"Ron saved her and the baby. She has to stay in here for a while to make sure that she's alright, but I want to thank everyone on the Team for the way they responded. If it wasn't for them I would be making plans for burying her. Please come in.", Tim Possible informed him inviting him in to look in on his sleeping wife.
Ben stepped into the room and for a moment took the young woman's hand. "Uh, I saw Ron a little while ago out at the Mankey's, it looks like they'll never bother you again.", he told them even though she was out.
"That's good. I never want to see them again.", Tim replied.
"Well I want to see your sister. I heard they took the babies C-Section. I hope they're alright. I'll see ya later.", Ben Turner excused himself.
"I checked a little while ago she has a fulltime nurse with her...Ah Mom sorta ordered it.", Tim replied, "Sis thinks she can do everything herself."
The armor clad GJ Agents had already noticed the Team Possible and Reserve GJ Agent going into the sister-in-law's room and were waiting for him to exit knowing where his next stop was going to be.
"ID Sir?", one of them asked.
Ben pulled his out of his sleeve pocket and presented it as requested. "They doing OK?", he asked.
"Yeah we're keeping track. Uh your M4 unloaded?", one of them replied not seeing if there was a magazine in the weapon then with the nod he continued, "You're good to go Sergeant Turner, I heard Mrs. Turner is gonna be fine."
"Yeah she is, just came from her room. We dodged a bullet didn't we?", Ben asked.
"Yeah we did, but the system worked pretty good.", came the reply as one of the guards opened the door.
As he walked in after again removing his helmet, he watched the red head as she gently held one bundle while resting in her bed, the nurse was holding the other one with a smile.
"Mrs. Stoppable...Ma'am?", Ben asked not wanting to wake the babies.
Kim looked up, "Ben it's good to see you. I heard that you guys are alright. Where's Ron?"
"Uh he's still there I guess tying up some loose ends. I was just checking on you and the new babies.", he whispered.
"They're early Ben, but they're going to be alright. I heard that Tara is alright too. Did Ron go full monkey on them?", she asked worried about his mental state.
"No...no Ma'am he didn't...uh I hate to break the news to you but Miss Hall didn't survive. I know that you wanted to meet her again in a court of law, but she resisted and she got caught up in one of her machines self destructing.", he told her.
"Too bad, I wanted to kick her butt. Are you sure that's what happened?", the Chief of Training for GJ asked as James Dean Stoppable yawned in her arms.
"Yes Ma'am and that is what is going in my official report too.", he smiled, "He's a cute guy, quiet as a mouse right?"
"Jimmy has a great set of lungs and there's Nothing wrong with Dino's either.", Kim smiled weakly, "Uh Ben uh it's been real nice, but I have to take care of some things. I'll see ya later OK?"
"Oh..? Yeah, yeah uh you can just call me Junior.", he stammered.
"Junior?"
"Uh yea Tom Wilson, Junior, the oblivious one. I'll tell everybody that you guys are fine. I'll see you later, I uh, hear Tara calling me.", he replied as he hurried to the door and closed it behind him.
Kim and the nurse almost broke out in full laughter seeing the armor clad man disappear.

The Mankey Compound:
"Hey it's good to see all of you could make this little meeting.", Ron began, tired of waiting for them to wake up.
"What are you going to do?", Jamie harshed, not realizing the consequences for pissing Ronald Dean Stoppable off any further.
He nodded to her, "Go ahead and have a drink of your shine girl, I think you're gonna need it."
One of the other masked people handed her a cup filled with clear liquid. She took a sip as Ron began anew, "You see we have a problem here."
"What problem?", Jamie asked now being put off her guard.
"Well it all boils down to you people. I mean Joshie here should have called in the Police when Fukushima started all this. Heck he had plenty of time since that arrogant bastard was gone so much. But he didn't. He could have gotten KP off that drug. But did he?...Nope he sorta likes the control I guess. Anyway, when he divorced Kim he could have given Mrs. Dr. P the information about all that happened to Kim. But again, did he? Nope again. My darling wife, the mother of my children almost went crazy. Then the plan to take her child away. There are too many sins here for Josh to be forgiven...Hey Sukura you might want to give Josh a big cup of the stuff. It'll take the edge off.", Ron started.
"Yes Master, but do you think that all that are left alive should be served? We do not wish to be callous.", one of the masked men replied in English this time.
"I agree.", Ron replied as he removed his cowl from the ninja infiltration suit.
"But we don't want to die.", Bruce butt in as he took the offered cup numbly.
"Don't. Interrupt you jerk.", Ron snapped, "You were in on the plot to kidnap my baby and hurt my wife and the children she was pregnant with and injure some of our relatives. You have already been convicted of several counts."
Ron paused again because he felt his temper rising again, "You told Kimberly that you owned her and our children..."
"But we're Mankey's, we do.", Monica Mankey-Wheeler interrupted.
Ron pointed to the one speaking, "Kill her."
A form slipped up behind her and Monica was in the afterworld before she knew it.
Before the blood even stopped spurting on the floor and the head stopped moving its mouth, Ron continued, "Now I take offense to people interrupting me and more offense to people saying that they own my children. I told you that all this started because of someone else's sick plans and is mostly his responsibility, but the blame is partially yours too because you were in on all of this. I just can't go on now and leave you behind me. Hey Sukura would you get those that we killed in the cells I wanna wrap this up here pretty quickly. Oh you dig up those corpses yet?"
"What are you going to do?", Jamie asked.
"Well since I can't trust you not to attack Anna again, I have to kill you. Now the only choice you get is how you want it and don't say old age cause that's not going to happen.", Ron replied coldly.
"You can't kill us.", Raul stood up.
This time Ron stood himself as he slashed the young man across the chest, revealing a beating heart. Raul slumped back onto the sofa as a ninja entered carrying a sheet wrapped form.
"Well this is getting kind of old and I'm starting to tire of this, so goodbye everyone.", Ron told them as he began to dispatch the remaining Mankeys with some help from the rest of the members of Team Twelve.
Ron saved the fat girl for last, "Goodbye Chunky and I hope your family has found a nice warm place.", Ron glowed brightly as he slashed her three times, with three separate pieces of the woman falling to the floor.
(Get their booze in here and douse the place good. Hurry we only have about twenty minutes before help arrives.), Ron told them in Japanese.
As jugs were being poured out in the living room others went to douse the upstairs and accelerate the rate of combustion there as well.
(Everyone out and move to you're own transportation.), Ron yelled as he sent an MMP lightning bolt into the room to begin the conflagration.

Hover jets returning for pickup:
"Damn! Look at that!", one of the pilots called on his radio.
"Wow, you ever see anything like that out here?", another voice asked on the radio.
When they finally landed they could only find one person. "Sir.", the Agent in Charge asked, "I mean what happened to the other people?"
"Oh they got some rides. Man when is the fire department gonna get here?", Ron asked as the main house was burning down and fire was coming from the underground cells.
"It's gonna be at least an hour. What happened they decide to go down together?", the AIC asked.
"Yeah I guess so must have been mass suicide. Is there anything we can do for them?", Ron inquired, "Any next of kin."
"Just three. One's estranged and living in England because she doesn't want to have anything to do with the family and the other one is in prison serving two more years.", he replied, "The last one is in the GJ hospital, one of your friend's gutted him while he tried to commit several felonies.
"WOW I guess we ought to pay our respects huh?", Ron frowned, "Listen can you give me a ride to the hospital? I wanna see my wife."
"You're Mr. Stoppable right?", the pilot asked.
"Yeah.", Ron replied.
"Jump on the hover jet, Mrs. Stoppable has been asking about you. She's worried."
"I guess I'd better meet the new kids properly...somebody has to change the diapers. KP fills them I get to clean them.", he laughed.
XX
Middleton Hospital:
Ron didn't even take time to change, just enough to grab some flowers on the way in thanks to Tom Wilson (yeah he is getting better). Smudge marks still on his face, he calmly walked into the room. "Good.", a familiar voice stated, "Dry JD off while I get started on DJ."
"Sure thing KP.", Ron replied setting the flowers on her table.
"Ron?", Kim gasped.
"Give him to me I guess I get a little face time with Jimmy.", he laughed taking the five and a half pound bundle of joy from his red headed goddess.
Kim laughed as she saw her man tenderly drying the baby in his arms. "OK you got face time with one of them first but I have a few things to do and I thought you were the nurse."
She happily turned with the other baby and began to perform the ritual with him as well.
XX
There was a knock on the door and a head peeked in, "Hey I got some more..."
"Wilson, Hope, get in here. You two have babysitting duty.", Kim ordered.
"Why?", Hope asked entering.
"Practice for you two and me and Ron need to go to the cafeteria I haven't welcomed him home yet.", Kim replied.
"I don't need practice. I'm a developmental expert remember?", she chided her cheerleader captain.
"Good then you can teach him.", Kim nodded to Tommy.
"Ah who's got Anna right now?", Tom asked.
"Aunt Hanna.", Ron smiled.
"You mean the kid that runs on the ceiling is babysitting your kid?", Hope asked.
"Yup.", Kim replied.
"Aren't you afraid that..."
"Nope Hanna's turned out pretty well.", Kim replied as she stood up and grabbed Ron pulling him out of the room.
A/N: Well lemme see...the Mankeys are finally at rest...well except for a few. I need something to write about later don't I? Now I know this is all why in the hell was Ron such a 'dick'. Lemme explain a little. Ron stepped up a long time ago and was learning to do it in 'Winter Adventure' remember that one? Then 'Separate Lives', Kim had broken up with him. He left and became an Army Ranger. He had to kill. He had disappeared and reappeared years later. He was a changed man. He wasn't the buffoon anymore. Ron had already killed at Graduation, he just traveled further down that road. So here he is a Master Ninja, the Monkey Master and the Chosen One...as well as an Army Ranger. Then he returns at the end of 'SL' and the beginning of 'Once Again' and meets up with Kim. Never having fallen out of love with her and realizing that she still loved him. They spend the night (OK more than one night) together and got to 'know' each other again in the biblical sense of the word. That's where Anna came from. So with all that ninja and warrior stuff Ron is sorta put out with someone hurting his wife and life long love and he decides that he's going to end the threat to his family from that quarter so they wouldn't come back to harm the kids or the wife (is there anyone out there who would willingly let some one have continuious shots at their family without doing something about it? So the Yamanouchi Ninja are not going to let something like this keep happening either. If there is anyone who thinks that ninja are just glorified karate guys I can only say look em up and learn something.
Oh make sure you check out Charles Gray's latest, as well as Pbow's, Nutzkie's and Rye Bread's. Oh I guess I should plug Bearsent 176's as well, I think all are good reads.
We'll see ya down the road.
