Disclaimer: Kim Possible and characters therein still remain beyond my grasp, but not my imagination.
Monkey Fist stared at the gleaming jade coloured armour. "What is that," he said slowly not wanting to believe his eyes.
"This, my faux simian friend is the Lotus Blade," Ron's voice made sure the smirk made it past the face mask, "As I am sure you already know."
"H-how is that possible? That was in none of the ancient texts!"
"I didn't read the text books. I listened to the blade itself."
The look of shock and revulsion was clear on the face of the mutated martial artist. "GIVE ME THE BLADE!"
"I will give you the blade one way Monty. You have to take it."
"Very well, MONKEY NINJAS ATTACK!!"
A swarm of fur moved toward the lone hero. Looking at them he held up one hand and let loose his voice, "Monkey ninjas stop."
As one the monkeys stopped their approach, and listened to him.
"Return to the temples. Either I or one of my lieutenants will bring you further instructions."
The monkeys leapt into the air and made their way from the urban sprawl, leaving two figures clad in light and shadow facing each other. Ron strode forth, the blade encompassing his body clicked as he stepped. He stopped roughly twenty feet away from his arch nemesis.
"Now it is truly you and me one on one. What do you do now that you are facing me in an even fight?"
Monkey Fist laughed and smiled, "Who said this fight would be fair boy?"
"I said even, not fair. To be fair I would not be able to fight at my full ability."
"You impetuous WHELP! I WILL KILL YOU!"
"Monty, Monty, Monty. Don't sing it. Just bring it," Ron moved sideways and beckoned him with an open hand.
Monkey fist charged and let loose a flurry of kicks and punches. Ron dodged, blocked, or absorbed all of them. The mutated mad man tried to press the attack by throwing the teen. He succeeded but was in slack jaw amazement when Ron flipped and slid on his feet to bleed off the energy of the flow.
"So, Monty, is that all you have? Can I cut loose on your sorry hairy ass now?"
"W-what?" said the stunned Englishman.
"I will take that as a 'yes'."
All of a sudden Ron was on top of him. A blurring of action and he felt hit twice at once. Another blur of action and he felt four strikes at once, another blur and eight more hits. Lord Montgomery Fiske for the first time that he can remember howled in pain. His adversary's strikes made more painful by the hardness of the mystical blade now armour.
Monkey Fist collapsed and looked up at the now towering fighter. "H-how?"
"Easy, I listened to the blade and the power in me. They have been teaching me and showing me that I need to do. When we got the mystical power, you already had power and skill so it sat on top of what you already had. It didn't have room to grow into you. You didn't let it. You just wanted to use it immediately.
I on the other hand had no skills for fighting. Had no power of my own and didn't want anything to do with it. But it slowly grew into me. The power planted its roots deep. Made sure it was secured and then started to gain strength. When we went into space I completed the destiny and became the Ultimate Monkey Master. I just didn't know it then. So it grew more. Then the Lotus Blade chose me. I didn't take it with me so it caused the power to grow stronger still. Now the power courses to me and when I ask it, it responds to my thoughts. I don't have to KNOW how to do this. I think I want to do it and the power makes sure that I can same with the blade. In truth Monty, you have made me what I am today. You made me into the thing that you wanted to be the most."
The mask melted away and the armour returned to a sword shape in the teen's hand. "It's over Monkey Fist. Give it up and go home. You are beaten, don't wind up broken also."
He slashes the air with the blade and sheaths it. Ron turns to leave and starts to walk off. He hears Monkey fist get up and scream as he jumps for him. Ron turns just in time to dodge the flying kick. He grabs the monkey mans ankle, strikes the inside of his knee, and then grabs the front of his gi. Dropping to the ground he forces the screaming head into the ground face first.
Looking down at the unconscious form of his arch nemesis Ron shakes his head, "You will be okay physically. But there is one thing that I need to do."
Ron pulls out the blade in both hands and his fingers start to move. At various times they stop, power starts to surge through Ron and the blade. All of a sudden he shouts and brings the blade down quickly to the neck of the unconscious man.
The blade stops as it touches ht hairy neck. The body of the prone English ninja glows and the glow starts to travel up the blade and into Ron. After the light is fully absorbed Ron kneels down and checks on the unconscious man.
"Sorry, but I could not leave you with the power. Nothing personal. I know we will meet again, and I know that it will not be this easy."
Ron looks to the sky and smiles as he starts to head to Kim's house. "Hmm I think that there will be time for dinner and a movie. Now how do you do that fast movement Hirotaka?"
The teen ninja slides out of the shadows and smiles at his boss. "It would be my pleasure to show you."
In fifteen minutes the boys the boys now in street clothes swagger to the front door of the possible residence. "Hi Mrs. Dr. P, Mr. Dr. P, Is Kim up in her room?"
"Along with half the neighborhood," Mrs. Dr P looked at Ron.
"Uh, right, sorry about that. I will make it up to you. Candle light dinner for two courtesy of Chez Ron?"
"Don't worry about it Ronald. Kim told us about it already. I am glad you are okay."
Ron and Hirotaka hurried up the stairs so they wouldn't contradict what Kim told her parents. Ron couldn't wait to hear this one. He knew it tore her up to lie to three people, her parents and him.
As the two strode through the door it got chaotic, to say the least. Bonnie was the first to react leaping up from the bed and using its bounce to throw her to both of them. She landed between them with an arm around each neck. Kim got off the floor from next to Josh and dashed to Ron.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyou. I was so worried."
"I told you I would get him back to you safe KP."
"Yes but you didn't say anything about you."
"That was a secondary part of the mission. Good to complete but not necessary for success."
"Yes it was. I don't know what I would do without you."
"Rely on Yori to take my place on the team. That was her secondary mission."
Kim looked at him half in relief at seeing him, and half in terror at the thought that he had prepared in case he didn't come back.
"Don't worry KP. It's alright now."
Ron looked past his dear friend to Yori who was still standing next to the window. Her posture was one of relaxation, but her eyes told a different story. "You can stop worrying now Yori. Everything is okay, I am okay, Hirotaka is okay, even Monkey Fist is okay. Kind of."
"What happened to him Ron?" Kim asked sliding back to the floor next to Josh.
"We fought and since I didn't have to worry about anyone getting hurt it was over fairly quick. After I started to leave he tried to attack me from behind, I stopped him and knocked him out. Then I took his monkey power."
"You did WHAT?" asked Bonnie who stopped fussing over Hirotaka.
"His mystical monkey power, I took it. The blade and power told me how. I couldn't leave him with it. It was too dangerous in his hands, especially after he had been so soundly defeated. He is still dangerous, but it will take time for him to be ready to strike again."
Ron looked around the room. Definite stress. He didn't like that. "So who is up for a triple date?"
The four people that had coupled looked at him. He looked at Yori who gave him a large shy smile. "Okay, I will take that as a yes. So what says everyone meets back her in an hour?"
Bonnie looked up at Ron and gave him her worst look. He felt a chill like none before. "Umm, how about two hours instead."
She smiled at him and stood up. "I'll drop you off at your house on my way." She got up and started to push him out of the door.
"Hey, hey wait I didn't say good bye yet."
"You will see her shortly. Do you want it to be three hours?"
"Bye Yori. Bye KP. See you in a little bit."
Next a date and …
