A/N: Welcome to part 2 of Pain King vs Cleopatra. Some surprises are in store next chapter. Hopefully, the fight scene was all right. Sadly, Shego couldn't be in this episode, but she will be in the next one. As will Josh Monkey. Sorry, Mankey. Yeah. Oh well.

I would like to thank the continued readers and followers for staying patient with my update schedule. You all are great and a lifesaver.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kim Possible. Unlike in my last story, I actually own these OCs.


Sneaking in was easier than Ron expected, despite the fact that the match was sold out by the time he arrived in line. He had arrived an hour and a half early and didn't get in until five minutes ago. Ron had left his backstage pass at home, as he knew that if he followed the timeline, Jackie Oakes would throw him through a few walls and into the arena. Ron didn't want that. Still, he was surprised the bouncer accepted the fake ticket. Could he have influencing power of thought? He'd have to talk with Sensei later.

"Hi. How's it going?" Ron greeted the person on his right. She took one look at him and turned the other way. A grin crept across Ron's face as he pulled out Rufus and asked, "What do you think of this guy?"

The girl glanced over, screamed at the naked mole-rat, and high tailed it out of the arena. Ron let out an amused laugh and placed his pet on the seat. "Worked like a charm," he mumbled.

Rufus glanced curiously at his owner before returning his attention to the game, even though the little buddy could not see anything. When Jackie Oakes wasn't available to introduce the wrestlers, Ron knew that the ritual was underway. He whipped out his phone and began to text Andrew. As soon as Jackie Oakes stormed out of the backstage area, Ron sent the text, grabbed Rufus, and headed down to meet his idols.


Kim let out a sigh and she mixed her latté with an unusual lack of enthusiasm.

Noting her friend's lackluster attitude, Monique asked, "Not enough froth on your latté?"

"No. Uh...I'm just feeling guilty. We kind of blew off Ron to be here tonight," Kim said as she gestured to Andrew.

"Why didn't you bring him along?"

Kim sighed as she shook her head in response to her best friend's behavior. Although, lately she was wondering if the friendship was tainted, as Ron no longer gave her nicknames and focused on making her happy with the food chain. In fact, he seemed to be trying to tear it down. "Unless someone put a waiter in a headlock, this is definitely not Ron's scene. Besides, he had a date with Steel Toe."

A grin broke across Monique's face and she leaned forward, much to Kim and Andrew's amusement. "He scored tickets to Mayhem in Middleton?! The GWA rocks!"

Disappointment flashed across both Kim and Andrew's face, both of them saying, "What?"

"Pretty tacky, I know. But my brother hooked me up. Pain King's my boy!" At Andrew's and Kim's looks, Monique asked, "You two don't like wrestling?"

"Of course not!" and "It's fake!" Kim and Andrew replied respectively.

Andrew's cellphone beeped shortly after Kim's Kimmunicator chimed. Both of them apologized for the interruption and looked at their respective devices. For Andrew, the text read 911 at GWA.

"Kim, Ron's in serious trouble! The creature from before is in Middleton Arena right now and causing havoc."

"On our way. Come on, Andrew. Let's jet," Kim ordered, readying herself to leave. Andrew downed his latté, threw the drink in the trash, and left right behind Kim.


Ron hopped into the ring while the Jackal showed off his super strength to the crowd. The wrestlers were curious as to the scene. They didn't recognize the Jackal as anyone other than some nut job, not realizing the Jackal was actually Jackie Oakes.

"Who the [censored] is this guy?" Pain King wondered.

His friend and rival, Steel Toe, shrugged and said, "Man, beats me."

Ron refrained from a smart-alec answer and almost revealed the Jackal to be Jackie Oakes. However, Ron didn't think it mattered in the long run. A villain you only see once is just a small-time villain. No pun intended. "I would say the bad guy," Ron said.

The Jackal finally pulled his attention away from his fans and turned around to face Pain, Steel, and Ron."You all said I was too small to get into the ring." A villainous laugh followed. "Here I am! You still think I'm too small?!" The Jackal straightened up to reveal his towering height.

"Jackie Oakes!?" Pain King questioned. "Is that you?"

The Jackal didn't answer, instead grabbing both Steel Toe and Pain King and raising over his head. His intent was clear.

Not caring that there was a monster that was three times his height, Ron strolled over towards the monster. "You made your point Jackie. Now put them down!"

The monster broke his gaze and glanced at Ron. "I'm no longer Jackie. I am now... THE JACKAL!" His eyes glowed for a second before he shot some sort of laser at Ron, who collided against the pole of the wrestling ring. Ouch! That's going to leave a bruise tomorrow.

Kim and Andrew saw Ron's predicament as they ran into the arena, both of them making their way towards Ron. Both could see the Jackal in the ring having his way with the two wrestlers and that had them hurrying, Kim more so than Andrew. Andrew could have gotten through easily, but he was not sure how to do that without revealing his strength or his hidden powers.

Ron sensed Andrew and Kim and knew it was time to start his acting. He sank to his knees dramatically and cried, "First I lose my friends, now professional wrestling. Everything's ruined!"

"Put a ham in it, dude," Andrew commented as he approached his friend. "You knew we would come."

"It's put a can in it," Kim corrected. "And you didn't lose your best friend, Ron. Don't worry; we're going to save...this...would you call this a sport?"

"Only the greatest sport ever!" Ron exclaimed, his disappointed tone gone.

"Let's take him down!" Kim declared as Ron pulled the ropes away so she and Andrew could enter the ring.

"I'd tag team with you any day." Ron gave both Andrew and Kim fist-bumps and the three stared down the Jackal.

The Jackal, having had enough fun with Pain King and Steel Toe, threw them on opposite ends of the ring, the momentum causing the two wrestlers to slam into each other. The crowd cheered, excited that someone was wreaking havoc against the two wrestlers.

"I will take on all competition in a no-hold barred grudge match! Right here! Right now! Come on!" Jackie roared, earning boos from the crowd. The Jackal lighted the Pain King poster on fire and shot an energy blast, which burned Steel Toe's poster. He then finished it off by creating a whirlwind with his bare hands.

"Awesome, rocking effects, bro!" a wrestling fan in the front row shouted over the wind.

For the most part, Kim, Andrew, and Ron kept their balance against the Jackal's wind. "Prepare to be body-slammered, Jackal!"

"That's body-slammed! Better let me do it." Ron charged forward and grabbed the Jackal's leg. With his mystical monkey power, Ron could easily snap the leg in half. Maybe. He wasn't about to try that, however, as it would be too suspicious. The Jackal glanced at Ron as if he was an annoying fly on the wall and used his momentum to send Ron flying toward the ropes. Knowing his lack of balance, Kim was surprised when Ron caught himself and walked back to her. "Probably not going to work. You're up."

Kim stormed up to the Jackal and pointed a finger at him. "Why don't you try it without the talisman?"

The Jackal craned his neck and spotted what he deemed to be a pest. His hands clenched into a fist as he addressed Kim. "Why don't you try and make me! I am all-powerful!" He shot Kim with some sort of mystical energy, which froze her in some sort of force field. He held Kim frozen in midair for a few seconds before releasing the energy, which caused Kim to land on her rump.

"Ouch!" She accepted the hand that Ron offered her and turned to Andrew. "You two distract him. I'll go for the talisman."

"Distraction. Solid."

Andrew turned to Ron. "And how exactly are we supposed to do that?"

"Leave that to me. Just be sure to catch Kim." Ron ordered Andrew to stay put and walked to the opposite side of the ring. Cupping his hands, Ron yelled, "Steel Toe's number one! Jackal who? Jackal who? Steel Toe's number one! That's right, you heard me, old demon!"

As Ron was providing the distraction, Kim was trying to rip the amulet off the Jackal's neck. However, the Jackal seemed to know and managed to grab Kim with one hand, flinging her into Ron. Both of the teens rubbed their heads, Ron not expecting that to have happened. Andrew offered both of his hands to Ron and Kim and helped them up.

"That worked out well," Andrew deadpanned.

"From now on the world will bow down to me!" Jackal shouted as he decided to take matters into his own hand and jumped out of the arena. People finally managed to get through their thick skulls that the Jackal was not a wrestler and started running off. The scene started to take a serious turn when Ron noticed that people were being trampled on. Without a second's thought as to what he was doing, Ron dove over the ropes, which Kim didn't know the athleticism was in him, and maneuvered his way around the crowd to get to the trampled people.

"As long as he has that talisman on, this guy can't be stopped. Ron...I mean, Andrew, you keep the Jackal busy. Get them to help." Kim didn't wait for an answer as she vaulted over the ropes and went to help out Ron.

Andrew turned to Pain King and Steel Toe, two wrestlers who looked anything but willing to get back into the fight. He sighed, knowing he was going to have to find some common ground with the wrestlers to convince them to contribute. "Come on, dudes. We gotta keep the Jackal busy!"

"No way, man! This guy's scary!" Pain King protested.

Steel Toe shook his head. "There's no way! I don't wanna a piece of this guy. His eyes are glowing!"

Scared. That was something Andrew could work with. He knew that his speech needed to be quick – the longer the speech, the more time the Jackal had to injure other people. Andrew nodded in understanding, familiar with the emotion that surfaced quite frequently during Kim the Yono's rise. "I get that. I do. I'm scared, my friends are scared, yet we are taking action. Take the guy who is trying to help the people down there. You two are his heroes. People look up to you, like those kids down there." Andrew gestured to the two kids who were smiling and oblivious to the danger around them. "Are you going to let them down?"

Both of the wrestlers looked at each other and grinned, eager to get back at the Jackal for ruining their match. "Let's get it on!" Pain and Steel shouted.

The Jackal's eyes glowered at Pain King and Steel Toe's revelation. With revenge on his mind, the Jackal dropped the spectators he was holding and jumped up into the ring. While Pain and Steel fought against the Jackal, Kim was scaling the upper stage and attaching her grappling hook to the ledge. Once the Jackal flung both Andrew and Pain King way off to the side, Kim dove for the Jackal, which as she predicted, didn't work. In the meantime, Ron climbed back into the ring after having helped a few people.

"Rufus, it all comes down to you," Ron announced as he pulled the naked mole-rat out of his pocket. The Jackal was momentarily distracted at Kim jumping back and forth on the wrestling ropes. Ron threw Rufus in the Jackal's direction, right as Kim leaped forward. The naked mole-rat chomped down on the amulet as it flew past right in the direction of Kim, who cradled him in midair as she somersaulted onto the stage. A guttural scream erupted from the Jackal as it found that its amulet was missing, continuing the cry as the wind withered down to a gentle breeze and the Jackal revealed himself to be...

"Jackie Oakes?!" Pain King and Steel Toe exclaimed at the same time.

Jackie chuckled weakly as the giant wrestlers approached. The GWA manager tried to suggest the wrestlers be reasonable, but Pain King and Steel Toe didn't agree as Pain King lifted Jackie overhead and threw him out of the ring, eliciting cheers from the remainder of the fans.

Kim, Ron, Andrew, Pain King, and Steel Toe stuck around for a little bit while the fans cheered for them. After about a minute, Ron hopped off the stage and headed over to one of the sections where a few injured people lay. He was met by Pain King, Steel Toe, and Andrew who seemed to make sure people were comfortable rather than playing doctor. Kim stood on stage, soaking up the praise before snapping out of the fame and glory and heading over to Andrew, Ron, and the wrestlers.

"We need an ambulance," Ron ordered, face grave as he recognized one of the people injured was the girl he had stolen out of a seat, a mere practical joke at the time but was now unlucky happenstance. He gingerly checked the girl's pulse and sighed as he felt a strong heartbeat.

"It should be on its way," Steel Toe stated, pointing a finger in the direction behind him. "Thanks for the help."

"It was nothing," Ron assured. "You should thank the girl. I didn't do anything."

"If you say so. The blue-haired dude said you were a fan. What's your name?"

Kim and Andrew smirked at Ron as he grew a huge grin at introducing himself to Pain King and Steel Toe. "Ron. Ron Stoppable. I can't believe I'm actually meeting you. I have a backstage pass so I can meet you next week."

Pain King and Steel Toe glanced at each other in realization before turning back to Ron. "The backstage passes only last for that one match. You can't use them afterward," Pain King informed.

Ron's horrified face told the story and he sank to his knees and let out a cry. Kim glanced at Ron in confusion, once again wondering why Ron was so different. The Ron she knew would have brought it with him.

"We'll send you another one, kid. In the meantime, come backstage and we'll give you an autograph or two," Steel Toe offered.

Ron accepted and left with Pain King and Steel Toe to receive a signed autograph. He arrived back a few minutes later right as the ambulance was pulling up. The mood was solemn and not many words were spoken as a few people were loaded into the ambulance and sent to the hospital. With a promise to see Pain King and Steel Toe again later, Ron waited until Kim and Andrew walked up to him.

Kim noticed the crestfallen expression on Ron's face and approached him, glancing at Andrew, and was pleased when Andrew stepped away to give the two of them a private conversation. "Hey, are you all right?"

Ron heaved a deep sigh, glancing at the sky instead of his best friend. "I suppose not. One of the girls who was trampled, I met her earlier today. I didn't say anything to her except for when I showed her Rufus; she ran off, but must have come back and then...the Jackal… it's all my fault."

"No, Ron. It's not your fault. It's the Jackal's fault. I know you feel like it's your fault, but you're the most selfless guy I know," Kim reassured, resting her hand on his shoulder.

"I know, but that doesn't make me feel any less guilty."

"I got to get back to Monique. Are you headed home?"

Ron shook his head and informed Kim that he intended to stop by the hospital and told her to tell Andrew not to wait for him. Knowing what would cheer his spirits, Kim suggested they stop by Bueno Nacho tomorrow, which Ron agreed to. He knew Monique would be there, not that he was going to tell Kim that.

"Ron said not to wait up for him," Kim greeted Andrew as the ambulances drove off. "I got to get back home. Probably too late to meet back up with Monique. Wait here."

Andrew nodded imperceptibly and watched as Kim contacted Wade for a ride. When she came back and informed him a ride was on the way, Andrew asked, "So where is Ron headed?"

"Most likely the hospital. One of the girls who was trampled, he met earlier," Kim revealed.

"Probably doesn't even know who she is," Andrew mused.

Kim shrugged insouciantly. "He's Ron. It wouldn't matter who it was, he'd still go. You hungry?"

"Usually. Bueno Nacho?"

"Sounds good to me."


Monique, Andrew, Kim, and Ron were at Bueno Nacho the next day, Monique wanting to hear all about Pain King and Steel Toe. Kim apologized for not returning back to the store after the wrestling match, which Monique forgave her for. As she turned to Ron who was eating a chimmerito, Monique commented, "I bet I could beat you."

"Huh?" Ron perked up, chimmerito in his mouth.

"I bet I could finish my chimmerito before you can," Monique challenged.

Ron chuckled, thinking Monique was joking until he saw her serious expression. "I've never lost a snack-off in my life. Are you really willing to suffer the defeat I'm about to hand you?"

"Depends on how embarrassed you'll be once I win," Monique countered.

"You're on, lady," Ron said before he polished his chimmerito off and went to the counter to get two more.

When Ron returned and set aside a chimmerito for her, Monique said, "You know, I still can't believe you met Pain King and Steel Toe."

"I can't believe you are into wrestling," Ron remarked.

Kim interjected. "I can't believe I know either one of you."

"Agreed," Andrew said.

Monique waved her hand. "Enough talk." She smiled as she picked up her chimmerito and faced her competition. "In the immortal words of Pain King, you're going down!"

Ron picked up his own chimmerito. "Au contraire. It is you who will be going down!"

"First one to drip is a loser."

"Better get your bib baby."

Kim huffed as she turned her head, unhappy with the attention which was not directed toward her. Rufus climbed out of Ron's pocket onto the table, ran in the middle, and held a napkin up. He looked at both at them for a moment, making sure neither one cheated, then brought it down. "Go!"

Kim seemed happy as she watched Monique and Ron go at it. She leaned back and said, "I think this is the beginning of a very weird friendship."


A/N: I could have kept going, but most likely, it was ending there. I suppose I could include who won the chimmerito eating contest, but it's not significant really. I've done some thinking and the next episode will be October 31, although, I will have to include parts from Number One – the Will Du episode. Don't worry. He's not getting any scenes. I'm skipping over most of the episode. Like I said before up top, Josh Mankey and Shego will make their first appearance next chapter. Until then, enjoy Thanksgiving.
