Gio: Oh, he's just a pathetic monkey-phobia fool! He can't even do well at this school, so if we do see Ron, I will chop off his head!
Fukushima: Very well, Gio. I must head back and slink back into the dorms. Sensei will be too distracted in his thinking to notice anything else out of place. I will see you both in the morning.
Gio: Good, Fukushima. (turns to Father) Oh, and Ron is just as bad as you described to me.
(The next morning, Ron exited his room and knocked on Gio's door, but there was no reply)
Ron: That's weird...Maybe he's early, heading to class, right? (Glancing at Rufus who shrugged with a slight nod) I guess he thought that we had our last goodbyes last night...Well, we better get going. (Drags wheeled luggage behind him, heading out of the dorms)
Sensei: Ron-san! Wait, hold on!
Ron: (Blinks lightly) Sensei, I gotta go on my way home...I am sorry, but I don't belong here...I stunk at classes, some of them anyway...
Sensei: That's not it, Ron-san. The Lotus Blade has been stolen, and to make it worse, Yori was on patrol last night, and she hasn't been found around here...I am afraid that she has been kidnapped...
Ron: What?! Who took her?!
Sensei: (Hesitating about the truth of Gio, knowing how Ron saw him as a friend, and if Ron is told about his betrayal, Ron would be extremely pained and confused) An accomplice of Monkey Fist...
Ron: (Groans) Not him...Why aren't you going after him and all?
Sensei: Because he has the Lotus Blade, and only you can get it back, along with Yori. You are special, Ron-san.
Ron: Me, special? Yeah, right.
Sensei: You are destined to be the chosen Ultimate Monkey Master. When the Mystical Monkey Idols infused you with Mystical Monkey Powers, you are then able to access them, and able to use mystical weapons including the Lotus Blade.
Ron: That's impossible! I can't be special!
Sensei: Ron, I believe in you, and Yori believes in you. But most of all, you must believe in yourself. I know you can do it. Stop Monkey Fist and his minions/accomplices from the power of the Lotus Blade, and save Yori.
Rufus (squeals) (Translation: LET'S SAVE YORI!)
Ron: (Nods with a grin) Right, let's get suited up! (Heads back into the dorms to his old room, changing into black-clad ninja garb, and grabbing staff) Let's go!
(Back in the volcano, Gio and Monkey Fist had some banana bread and banana smoothies for breakfast together, until they noticed Yori beginning to stir...)
Gio (stops drinking and finished piece of banana bread): Uh oh, Yori is waking up. I better get into my position against the other rock for you to tie me up to it...(gets white gi and pants over black ninja outfit) Let's do this! (walks over to rock, stands in front of it, and places back of his body against it)
Monkey Fist: (Grabs spool of rope from chair, and heads over to Gio, tying him up nice and tight, but not too tight, knowing Gio would want to get out of it easily enough) Got it.
Yori: (Groans) Uhh...(Blinks eyes to clear them, and looks around until gasping when she saw Gio tied up with Monkey Fist glowering at him and her, sitting upon a chair casually) Gio!
Gio: Monkey Fist, you'll never get away with this!
Yori (Struggles)
Monkey Fist: Oh, I already have, and I have the Lotus Blade as well! Fukushima has done well.
Yori: You?! Fukushima's working for you?!
Gio: Grrrrrrrrr...
Monkey Fist: So, I want to give you a choice to live...to do that, all you have to do is become my apprentice!
Yori: NEVER!
Gio: You moron...I'd rather die than join you! (spits on him)
Monkey Fist (wipes sweat off his face): Very well...I'll go get my katana. When I'm back, your head will be mine...(leaves)
Yori: (Grunts as she struggles, but it's no use as the ropes are tight) Damn, I can't get out of them...Gio, are you okay? Did he or Fukushima hurt you?
Gio: No, they didn't...(struggles) I don't want to die! (looks left and right)
Yori: Gio, calm down. Ron will save us. We're his friends, no doubt about that. I just hope he heard the news before he was going to leave...
(Outside, Ron made his way to the exit gates of the school when Fukushima approached him...)
Fukushima: Wait, hold on, Stoppable-san!
Ron: What are you doing here? I have to save Yori as you probably heard about that including the Lotus Blade thing.
Fukushima: Look, I may have bullied you at times, but that's because I was jealous...A outsider accepted to be a ninja...It doesn't happen often...Please, let me help you...
Ron: (Trades a look with Rufus and sighs) Fine, but remember, I save Yori. You could grab the Lotus Blade in the meantime, deal?
Fukushima: (Bows with a smile) I'd be honored, Stoppable-san. Now I believe there's a possible place that a villain would use...
Ron: (Nods) Let's go, then. We can't waste any more time!
(Back in the lair, the Ninja Monkeys kept a close eye on both hostages...)
Gio (winking secretly): Stupid monkeys! (struggles)
Chippy: (Chitters) Uh-ah-oh! (Knowing that Yori couldn't understand monkey talk at all; Translation: Very smart, Gio!)
Gio (struggles): Oh...I hope Ron arrives...
Yori: Indeed. It will be soon enough...I wish there was a way to tell time around here. Who knew that darkness and lava can be scary together?
(Outside the volcano, Fukushima and Ron made it to the snowy grounds of the mountain...)
Fukushima: We better split up as it's a big mountain.
Ron: (Nods) Good idea. See you soon as I get Yori out of there.
(Ron walked down a rock tunnel and entered the main part of the lair...)
Yori (struggles): Ron?! Are you there?! I hear footsteps! Is...is that you?
Ron: Yori? (Steps in and sees Yori tied up) Yori! Hold on, I got you! (Drops down to figure out to untie the ropes until Rufus squeaks with a grin, chopping through a couple of strands, leaving the rest looser and freer for Ron to pull out) You okay, Yori?
Yori: I am fine, but Gio's here too! (Ron blinks and looks around, then sees Gio nearby, tied up)
Ron: Gio! (He and Yori head over to help untie the ropes) You got kidnapped too?
Gio: Yeah, I did! Fukushima kidnapped me before leaving! Come on, let's get out of here. I think the exit is that way...(Points to exit passageway)
Ron: Fukushima? That's impossible. He was helping me, leading me...Oh, crap...it was a trap...
Gio: Relax, Ron, we're gonna get out of here!
Ron: But Monkey Fist has the Lotus Blade!
Gio: Ron, it doesn't matter! Our lives matter more!
Ron: (Nods) You're right, Gio. Let's go!
Gio (pulls out a secret remote behind my back and pushes a red button)
(A metal door comes down, sealing the exit...)
Ron: Oh, shit! We're trapped!
Yori: What are we going to do?!
Gio (folds arms): Oh, no need to worry. Your troubles will end soon...
Ron: Gio? Why are you acting so weird?
Gio (grins): Because I'm not who I say I am!
Yori: (Eyes widen) Who are you?
Gio: All this time, you have been fooled! I was never your friend, Stoppable!
Ron: (Exhales sharply) You're the accomplice of Monkey Fist! No wonder Sensei never said nothing about you specifically because you took the Lotus Blade!
Gio (laughs): Oh, you're so funny, stoppable! I'm not the accomplice!
Ron: (Narrows his eyes) Who are you really, then?
Gio: Oh, I'll show you...(smirks) Stoppable...(takes out pants, revealing bottom of ninja garb) My name...(takes off gi, revealing top part of ninja garb) is Gio...(holds up a gloved hand) F-I-S-K-E! (takes off glove, revealing monkey fur patch on top) HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (takes off other glove) Now, prepare to meet my mother in the Afterlife! (pulls out katana)
Ron: Fiske?! You're the son of Monkey Fist! (Tense position as he reached out to grab Yori's arm) You lied to me, to Yori! You betrayed me like your dad!
Yori: (A tear escapes from her eyes) Why?! Why are you doing this to us?!
Gio: Oh, you didn't tell her, Ron?! You didn't tell Yori about how you RUINED MY FATHER'S LIFE?! (Holds Up Monkey Fist's prison booking photo cut out)
Yori: Wait...Why didn't you tell me when he appeared the first time?! Or even the second time!
Ron: I...It was a bad part of the past...I couldn't tell you...
Yori: Couldn't or won't? (Ron falls silent with shame) I am shocked...Please let us go...(Looks at Gio)
Gio: Tell her, Ron...or I will! (Grins) Ron stole our family's mystical monkey powers!
Yori: Is that true?
Ron: (Sighs heavily) I thought Monkey Fist was good at first, but then he tricked my best friend into giving him a mystical monkey idol, the last one of four...I was suspicious, so I made my way to London, to his home..In the middle of battle, I came into the area of the idols, and I absorbed the mystical monkey powers, making me the second one next to Monkey Fist.
Gio: And now, I will kill you both!
(At that point, Monkey Fist appeared next to his son...)
Monkey Fist: We meet again, Stoppable! I see that you met my son! Great example of parenting, isn't it?
Ron: (Blinks with a sharp glare) Like father, like son...I am now seeing the signs and all...
Monkey Fist: Oh, my son is better than just like me. He's an indestructible killing machine! Gio, let's get these teens into the cage, and lower them into the lava!
Gio (bows): Yes, Father...(turns to the teens, and approaches them with the katana)
Ron: I may not be a great ninja, but I and Yori will stop you!
Gio: Oh, But I got a secret hostage! (Pulls out a tied-up Rufus from his pocket) Now, you'll cooperate, and get in the cage or I'll snap Rufus's neck!
Ron: (Widens eyes) What?! I swear he was in my pocket! (Rufus squeaks loudly from Gio squeezing him slightly) Rufus!
Yori: Oh, Rufus! Ron...we have to do it...I can't bear to see little Rufus be killed...
Ron: (Conflicted face as he growls lowly, and then sighs) I'm going...(Walks into the cage with Yori following him inside as well)
Gio (laughs): Good! (Shuts cage shut, and locks it) And for Rufus...(locks him in smaller cage) It was easy to secretly snatch him when we tried to "escape" after you freed me. Chippy, maneuver the cage high over the lava!
Chippy: (Nods) Roo-chee-ree-choo! (Translation: Yes, great young master!) (She then pulls the chain crank mechanism, rolling it back to move the cage upwards, and switches a lever to move the cage to the left where the lava is at, positioning the cage over the steaming, hot lava)
Gio: Perfect.
Monkey Fist (gets bucket of popcorn): Fred, pull out a chair for me!
Fred: (Salutes with a nod as he then slinks to a darkened section of the lair, and after a minute, he exited the section with a fold-up chair, and opens it up, placing it near Monkey Fist) Roo-chee-ta! (Translation: Here you go!)
