Ch.46

Ron moved silently, with no shadow or sign he was there. He was on the last mission as a member of Team Possible, having chosen to step away from the hero business and focus on other, more important things.

Still he was giving it his undivided attention, using all the training from over the years to infiltrate Monkey Fist's castle and recover the artifacts he stole from various countries. Ron was a third of the way done with the areas he was tasked with searching and knew Kim was using the battle suit and its features to check the areas she was designated for the artifacts. Exiting another room in the castle, Ron was about to move the next location when he faintly heard the echoes of conversation. Still too far to make out what was being said, Ron made his way over hoping for a clue as to what Monkey Fist was planning.

He found the room where the conversation was coming from easily enough, it was the central chamber with a round table in the center and enough chairs to seat twenty people comfortably. Ron was currently standing on the second floor hallway that wrapped around the room and tried to identify the many people in the room. He spotted Gemini, Dememtor, Monkey Fist, DNAmy, Camile Leon, Drakken, Aviarious, the Mather, Gill, Frugal Luker, Electronique, Duff Killigan, the Fashionistas, Jack Hench, Falseto Jones, Señor Senior Senior and a hooded figure he couldn't identify.

"...I have found their location but in doing so my activities have been exposed. For our plan to succeed we need a diversion to throw Team Possible off my tracks." Monkey Fist finished saying to everyone gathered.

"But can it really work man?" Asked Duff Killigan.

"It will, all that's needed is to retrieve the pieces and bring them together." Answered Monkey Fist before asking. "So who will help our endeavor by attracting Team Possibe?"

"Ladies and Gentlemen I can have something up in twenty four hours if that is to your satisfaction but I will claim Europe as compensation." Declared Señor Senior Senior.

"What, I want Europe myself." Professor Dementor declared.

"So do I." Said Camile Leon.

"I'm happy to step down if you can be the distraction." Senior responded.

"I do not have anything ready at the moment, it will take me at least a week to put a plan into motion." Dementor said looking at Monkey Fist.

"We don't have that kind of time Dementor." Monkey Fist said.

"Fine, let's put it to a vote then and see if everyone is okay with him getting Europe." Dementor compromised.

"All in favor?" Asked Monkey Fist raising his hand.

Ron looked around the room and noticed that the majority, although reluctant, did raise their hand in approval. 'Must be some big plan to have gathered so many villains.' Ron thought. Feeling Rufus shift in his pocket Ron suddenly had an idea and reached to him with his mind.

'Hey Rufus, I need your help.' Ron said telepathically. Although Ron couldn't see the little guy he felt him climb his way to his shoulder forcing him to admire Rufus accomplishments in his own training.

'With?' He heard Rufus voice in his mind still trying to get used to how masculine and deep it sounded unlike his usual squeaky one.

'Take my Kimmunicator and record their conversation while I finish searching my area. If we know what their planning Kim will have an easier time dealing with it.' Ron explained.

'Sure.' Rufus said and a short moment later Ron felt the Kimmunicator snatched from his hand and disappearing from his sight and senses.

'Thanks buddy.' Ron said moving towards the next area.

Turns out resuming the search was the right call as two rooms later Ron found the artifacts. Opening the com link he whispered. "Found the artifacts in the south wing, second floor, third door to the left."

"Got it." Came Kim's clipped reply letting Ron know she was still pissed that he was giving up the hero work but they had argued about it enough, he was done.

"I can use a hand to get them out of here, just try to avo-" Ron asked for help while trying to explain something but Kim cut him off.

"On my way." She said going into radio silence.

"Kim you have to avoid going into the room at the center of the castle. Kim can you hear me! Kim!" Ron called almost shouting by the end of it. "Wade I need you to patch me through to Kim, I think she turned off her com link."

"Ron I didn't design them so that they could be turned off." Wade said before adding. "The only way for her not to hear you is if she took the unit out of her ear."

Ron was already running by that point in the conversation and hoping that Kim still remembered this was a stealth mission. If she walked into that conference room where a bunch of villains were having a meeting things could get complicated. Ron almost ditched stealth mode, his Ki control slipping for a moment, as he hurried back to the conference room.

When he made it to the spot he left Rufus before he quickly felt him climb up his leg. Ron was briefly relieved that the villains were exactly where they were before, he was thankfull that Kim was still being a professional till the door leading to the north wing opened. He felt like cursing as every villain turned to look at the seemingly empty space and the door closing.

There was a moment of tense silence before Dementor spoke. "If I remember correctly Possible's battle suit had stealth capabilities."

The next second the villains took a violent approach to expose Kim.

The hooded figure was the first one to respond, pulling out a highly modified lazer gun and opening fire on Kim. Kim did the sensible thing and switched from stealth to shield mode. The lazer impacting her shield had enough force to push Kim back a few feet. Before Kim had a chance to move a couple of golf balls rolled to a stop in front of the shield and exploded, pushing her the remaining distance into the wall. The others didn't wait around watching and moved to surround Kim, attacking with various guns.

Ron didn't wait either, seeing as Kim was effectively cornered. He jumped over the railing and did a front flip, landing soundlessly on the first floor. Moving quickly Ron tried to incapacitate as many villains as he could before he was discovered. Ron reached Senior first and jabbed a couple of pressure points to take him out of the fight. He moved to DNAmy next and repeated the process.

By this point two things happened. One, Monkey Fist yelled for his monkey ninjas and two, Kim's voice was back on the coms.

"Ron why didn't you tell me that villains were having a meeting in the central chamber?" Kim demanded.

"Who was it that cut off communications while I was still talking?" Ron whispered back equally annoyed before adding. "What's the suit's power supply at? I have two down but I don't know how long till I'm discovered. How long can you hold?"

"Forty one percent, break their encirclement so I can gain some space and be mobile, once that's done they won't be able to hit me." Kim directed.

"I'll try." Ron simply agreed and moved towards Falsetto Jones. The thief didn't see anything and was down in seconds.

Ron went after Gill next not wanting to deal with the mutagenic goo. With Gill down Ron moved to take down Camile Leon but her cat jumped out of the bag onto him, bringing the Fashionistas and Camile's attention to him as Ron held it at arms length.

"Guys, we found the sidekick." Announced Camile.

Monkey Fist was the first one to respond, screaming 'pretender' and launching a couple of shuriken at Ron. Ron was tempted to toss the cat at Camile and move out of the path of the shuriken but he didn't want to hurt the animal. Afterall Debutant hadn't done anything requiring bodily harm as recompense. Thinking quickly, Ron used telekinesis and stopped the shuriken while releasing the cat onto the floor.

While using telekinesis Ron struggled to maintain stealth and decided to fade in, like a phantom becoming visible. The villains still seemed surprised by the attaire he chose though it wasn't the first time they've seen him in it. All his clothes were lined with a fabric similar to kevlar making most guns simply leave bruises instead of holes. The top was similar to a turtleneck sweater but the neck extended to cover half of Ron's face. He wore cargos so he could carry Rufus and store various tools. All in black for easier stealth. Ron also had a belt that carried his most noticeable addition, a sword. Although he mostly trained with Katana, a straight blade instead of the katana's curved blade resonated more with Ron as time went on. Thus, Ron chose a double edge sword that he carried on his belt at his back. At times Ron added a jacket or hoodie for more anonymity but this mission didn't need it.

Reaching into his left cargo pocket, Ron brought out a cylinder around the size of his hand he created with the guidance he recieved from Xu Ming Yue. It was a bo staff that could extend a remarkable distance with Ki and adjusted at will.

Ron began twirling the cylinder in his hand building up momentum while keeping an eye on those around him. Satisfied with the momentum, Ron jumped and spun with the cylinder adding his strength into it as he extended it to three times the length of a bo staff. The effect was satisfying as the Mather, Camile Leon, Aviarius, Drakken and Frugal Luker went down and probably had a concussion after the blow to their heads, others ducked in time or the force had diminished after hitting the others to proving ineffective for a knockout. As for Dementor, he just wasn't tall enough to be in danger of being hit.

Kim didn't waste the opportunity to gain some space, seeing as half the number of villains were down, she rushed the hooded figure and took a few swings at him switching off her shield, the speed of her punches increasing with every swing. The person dodged or parried every punch surprising Kim enough that she stopped attacking and created some distance between them. Not wanting to go passive again, Kim rushed Duff Killigan and with the suit's capabilities made short work of him the whole time she made sure there was at least one villain between her and the hooded figure.

Now that Kim was mobile again, Ron relaxed a little bit knowing she could take care of herself. Seeing Monkey Fist's monkey ninjas enter the room Ron knew Monkey Fist was about to rush him so he made the first move attempting to gain the upper hand. Dashing at Monkey Fist, Ron noticed Jack Hench a little out of sorts and promptly extended his bo staff once again sending towards Kim who promptly dropped him with a couple well placed strikes.

"Nice one." Kim said over the coms.

Ron didn't have time to respond already having closed the distance on Monkey Fist. Ron swung the bo staff in a simple motion hoping to separate the monkey ninjas from Monkey Fist. The monkey ninjas evaded the swipe flawlessly giving Ron a few precious seconds against Monley Fist alone, he didn't waste a moment. Ron twirled the staff, blocking a couple of punches from Monkey Fist and responded with a few strikes to his head, joints and feet. Monkey Fist pulled back just as the first of his monkey ninjas launched at Ron.

Ron intercepted it out of the air and stopped its momentum before delivering a blow to the head and taking it out of the fight. Monkey Fist came back into the fight kicking Ron's exposed back in the direction of the monkey ninjas. Three of the ninjas were ready and attacked Ron's face, midsection and legs. Thinking quickly Ron twirled the staff and parried the blows to the face and legs while taking the kick to the midsection. Having been prepared for the hit Ron responded quickly and grabbed ahold of the monkey's leg, lifting the monkey into the air and brought him down onto the floor, hard. After taking the monkey out of the fight Ron used the chance to take out another two with his staff reducing their number to four. Monkey Fist didn't seem fazed by his monkey ninjas going down one by one, certain that he would win the fight.

As Ron turned to face Monkey Fist again, he took a deep breath and focused, putting the staff as a cylinder back into his pocket. Ready, Ron closed the distance with Monkey Fist again, a monkey launched at him and Ron grabbed it out of the air and threw it at Monkey Fist who evaded letting it slam into the wall behind him. Ron didn't let the that deter him and sped up his rush at Monkey Fist. Ron's aim was simple, he wanted to overwhelm Monkey Fist in hand to hand combat.

Their exchange was ruthless as it was fast. Ron no longer held back, he couldn't afford to. Ron attempted to draw Monkey Fist into his pace, keeping him on the defense but couldn't quite take control. Although Monkey Fist was on the defense he was blocking and evading anything that would disrupt his form. Ron had just avoided the monkey's next surprise attack when Monkey Fist timed his attack. Taking a hit to the face, Ron tried to avoid further attacks by blocking and counter attacking.

The result an exchange.

Ron refused to distance himself from Monkey Fist seeing as their fast exchange of blows would lead to one or the other taking control of the fight, so he minimized damage and focused on disabling Monkey Fist. Avoiding a high kick to the head Ron ducked and attacked the pressure point of the other leg. Results were immediate as Monkey Fist lost his balance as his leg gave out. Ron didn't waste the opening and a few brutal attacks to Monkey Fist face took him out of the fight. After that the monkey ninjas were simpler to handle as they no longer had the subtle cues from Monkey Fist.

Ron took a moment to access the situation before engaging again. From what he could see Kim took down all three of the Fashionistas and Dementor leaving Gemini, Electronique and the hooded figure that worried Kim and Ron the most.

Ron chose to attack Electronique next seeing as she had a literal electrical field surrounding her as she sniped at Kim with blast of electricity. Ron felt the electricity flow through him as he attacked her pressure points and took her out. Ron noticed the hooded figure aim at him and got ready to jump away, that's when he noticed his mistake. Although when he first took Electronique's attack he withstood it long enough to strike her pressure points but as he try to evade the lazer his body moved to sluggishly to evade, he was going to be hit. Once Ron was certain of that, he stirred his Ki and prepared to defend, that's when everything went wrong.

Ron had a feeling she had followed him but seeing her appear after a lazer shot through her and hit his shoulder. His own wound didn't matter, Ron reached her and removed her cowl, seeing Yori's rapidly paling face. Ron completely disregarded his safety and started to try and heal her on the spot. He heard Kim yell something but didn't care to listen, he needed to save Yori. The wound looked close to her heart, too close and Ron prayed it missed it. When his awareness finally made it to the damage area Ron confirmed that it indeed damaged her heart and poured all the Ki he could into healing Yori.

Yori tried to speak and ended up coughing blood.

"Don't talk. Focused on healing. Together we can make it work." Ron begged in tears as Yori continued to bleed in his arms. He wasn't fast enough.

Yori reached for him with her mind, he felt the soft touch but weak, too weak and instinctively connected his mind with hers never slowing down his healing.

"Ron-san, I'm not going to make it." Yori's voice was barely a whisper in his mind.

"Please don't give up Yori, I can heal you. Just, hang in there." Ron begged his tears joining the stream of blood on her chest.

"Ron... -san I love... you." Yori says her struggle to hold on more and more apparent.

"I love you too Yori and I'll show you how much everyday after we make it through this." Ron said.

When he saw Yori's soft smile at his words Ron's heart broke, he should have shown her how much he loved her everyday. He felt her heart stop struggling to beat and her whole body relax.

"Noooooo!" Ron lost control of his Ki.

~~~~~

"Yorriii!" Ron screamed at the top of his lungs. His Ki was on the verge of an attack and his stance ready to defend. Eyes glowing blue, Ron scanned the room for a threat. That's when he saw her, sitting on the bed and holding very still, her belly swollen with his child.

~~~~~

Shego was torn from sleep by Ron's painfilled scream. She would have gone to him and brought him into a hug but she was pregnant and had learned that he was expecting an attack so sudden moves tended to freak him out more, though he never so much as hurt her even in such an agitated state.

Shego's tears mirrored Ron's own as she mourned Yori but she waited for Ron to make eye contact before silently opening her arms to him. His glowing blue eyes faded and Ron was by Shego's side in an instant. Ron hugged her firmly but incredibly gently and Shego rubbed circles on his back as they cried in each other's arms.

It had been three years since they had lost Yori, Ron's last mission being a disaster instead of a simple recovery. Seeing Yori's body after the mission Shego had been in much the same state as Ron, it was only thanks to Ron and Sensei that she was able to pull herself together. Ron's nightmares were daily for the first year but gradually he came to terms with the lost. It wasn't till Shego got pregnant that his nightmares returned. Shego knew what was going on, they had talked about it enough, Ron was afraid that something would happen to her and the child and he would be unable to do anything.

When Ron stopped crying and started rubbing her belly Shego couldn't help but smile. That's what always helped him calm down, the child.

Shego couldn't help but think back to when they, Yori, Ron and Shego started dating. It was painful as it was beautiful. Ann had already divorced her husband after finding out he had cheated but couldn't trust Ron knowing there was an intimate relationship between Ron and other women. Ann and some of the others asked Ron to choose and as much as he tried, Ron couldn't tell one he loved her without admitting that he loved the others. Ron felt like trash as one by one his ladies walked out only leaving Yori and Shego. He told them it was okay to leave him, afterall he was no better than James Possible, maybe even worse.

That's when Yori stepped in, it was the first and only time Shego had seem her angry with Ron. Yori had slapped Ron in the face as soon as he finished talking before she finally started screaming. Why did Ron compare himself to James Possible? Why did he beat himself up for falling in love with so many women? And why did he assume she would walk away from him because he didn't only love her? He needed to understand that he was a kind, courageous and accepting man. That when he finally noticed the affections of the women around him he gave them a chance, leading them to make a place in his heart. So what if he loved them all, at least he didn't lie to them and admitted it, he accepted his feelings and told them about it, giving them the choice of what to do. Finally, as Yori told him that those who left would soon realize their mistake since there was no other man like Ron. Taking a deep breath she told him 'At your side is where I belong.'

'So do I if you'll have me.' Shego added as she closed the distance and kissed them both.

After that Ron started culinary college moving to an apartment by the school that the three shared with Rufus. When the mission's started affecting his life Ron had finally decided to quit, he wasn't a kid anymore so he chose to move on decisively.

Shego was brought out of her thoughts as she felt Rufus climb onto her belly, patting it as he looked at Ron.

"I'm okay Rufus, sorry to wake you." Ron said before Rufus had the chance to ask.

"No problem, was hungry." Rufus squeaked.

That brought a smile out of Ron and like a chain reaction out of Shego too. "Okay I'll make us something."

After that Ron kissed Shego and untangled himself from her, leaving the room in his boxers. Shego looked at Ron's back and said to Rufus. "Keep him company."

"Guard." Rufus squeaked before laying down on her belly.

Shego proceeded to pet his head for a few minutes before Rufus abruptly sat up and there was an explosion.
