Chapter 3: To Outer Space

000

The next stop was in Florida's Cape Canaveral where a very special shuttle was being launched. Upon this shuttle were Duo, Quatre, Kim, Ron and Rufus already to be launched into space. Though the only one who asked why they were going into pace was Kim. Ron was a completely different story. He and Kim had been all over the globe but never into space itself. So needless to say Ron was a mixture of absolute terror and pure excitement. He and Kim sitting with the Gundam pilots in their chairs in a vertical position. All of them dressed in astronaut suit ready to head out into space.

"KP?" Ron called

"Yeah, Ron?" Kim answered

"Do you realize we're sitting on a Billion dollar piece of equipment that has millions of moving parts that no one knows how they work?"

"Yeah, so what?"

"Kinda makes you feel special don't it?"

"Do you think you can handle this?"

Ron had to cover up his own fear, "Hey, I've suffered vertical rides before how bad can this get."

Duo rolled his eyes when he heard that. Ron didn't know what was going to come at him when the ignition and lift off would start. Duo went back to making the checks and re-checks to make sure that nothing will go wrong with this shuttle launch. The mission control came in from Houston.

"Shuttle Voyager, are you all go?"

"Duo to control, we're OK to go."

"Lift off is in T minus 10 seconds."

"Could we lift off already, I'm thirsty back here." Ron moaned

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…zero."

The boosters began to ignite sending blue-hot and white-hot flames down to the pad with unearthly heat. The force from those boosters slowly made the shuttle lift off of the pad and into the air. Even if it did seem slow to those who were watching from a distance. Inside all four passengers were already feeling the pressures of the force. Even Ron Stoppable who was screaming from the immense force, it did make it seem rather ironic, he did face a good deal of vertical rides but this was much worse.

The shuttle began its speedy lift off to the heavens and as it went up into the sky its line of smoke began to curve like an arch. Within only a minute the shuttle was already gone out of sight and into the blackness of space.

Kim and Ron watched as the view out of the windows went from the blue cloud spotted sky to the black star poked emptiness. Amazingly enough when they got to outer space, everything seemed so quiet, of course in space no one can be heard. Up ahead the scenery slowly changed from the blackness of space to the bright blue hue of the Earth. Its brightness from the sun was so luminescent that Ron and Rufus couldn't help but stare out their window. Even Kim was doing the same thing.

"Space Station Aquarius." Quatre called, "This is Shuttle Voyager, do you copy?"

A new voice came in this time of a young woman, "Shuttle Voyager, we copy you. You're clear to dock."

"Roger that."

Within several minutes the shuttle Voyager was already docked at Space Station Aquarius. It was an enormous station; neither Kim nor Ron had ever seen anything of that magnitude. Everything that they had seen as far as villains have built couldn't compare to this. The station was in the shape of an X with the center of it in the sights of the shuttle Voyager.

"Good God." Ron gasped

"Yeah." Kim agreed

"The best is yet to come." Quatre smiled

As soon they docked, the foursome took off their space helmets allowing their hair to come undone. Kim and Duo especially with their long hair, then they went right for the shuttle door. Now that the shuttle was in a lying down position it was easier to move around the cabin. Added to that was the low gravity which meant that they didn't walk they floated their way to the door. It opened and Kim found it awkward to try to go down steps when she could just float down. She, Ron and Rufus got off the shuttle and could immediately feel themselves float. Even Kim could see it in her hair as it lofted upward as she made her landing from the Shuttle door to the shuttle bay floor. She reached into her cargo pants and brought out her hair band. She knew that if she was going to train in a place like this she had to keep her hair out of her face.

"There." She smiled as her hair was in a ponytail.

At the same time Ron and Rufus were busy having fun jumping around in the low gravity environment. Kim looked up at him and watched his child-like innocence being played out in front of her. She smiled at this but soon she grew a little annoyed and called Ron and Rufus to come back down.

"First things first." Quatre called, "We must introduce you to our team."

Ron and Rufus came back down to the ground where they "moon-walked" with the Gundam Pilots to meet the rest of their team. After hall after hall of similar looking hallways, Ron had to make an observation.

"Why do these kinds of places have the halls all look the same?" He complained, as Rufus grew dizzy again.

Kim rolled her eyes, "Beats me."

"We're here." Quatre smiled

Inside Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable met the rest of the Gundam Team. At a square table there sat a young boy with brown hair that hung in bangs over his eyes. With the eyes that were exposed was cobalt blue and in those eyes Kim felt moved. The very same feeling she got when Quatre and Duo spoke of their mission and their Gundams. Except in those blue eyes they seemed cold, emotionless and unmoving. Yet, Kim felt lost in those eyes.

Next to him was another young boy who had sandy blonde hair that hung over his right eye, as if his own hair was a mask for the left side of his face. From where Kim stood he seemed lanky or at least that's the way he seemed to sit in his chair. Unlike the boy with the cobalt blue eyes this boy's eye was green like creamy jade. It was the same shade as Kim's, but like the boy with the cobalt blue eyes this boy's eye seemed cruel, vicious, and emotionless.

Last of all there was one who had black hair pulled back into a small ponytail. He sat back in his chair with his eyes closed in some kind of arrogant expression. Kim could immediately tell that he was Chinese from the clothes he wore, or maybe he was just someone who had a fascination with Chinese culture.

Kim's vision moved up and there sat a man in a blue suit, but the suit looked like something out of France during the 1600's like he was some kind of French nobleman. Unlike those early French Nobleman, this one didn't have the white wig of the pasty make up. His skin was quite fair and his dirty blonde hair combed back and his narrow eyes staring at Kim. Unlike any villain she had faced before, these eyes made her feel welcomed.

Finally the last person was a young woman with long brown hair coming down to her waste line. And like the man dressed like a nobleman she smiled as Kim and Ron entered the room.

"Welcome, Kim Possible and of course her partner Ron Stoppable." She said smiling.

Ron's pride swelled, "Did you hear that, KP?" He asked so smug, "she called me your partner. How do you like that?" He closed his eyes and smiled holding his shirt with both hands as if he was holding onto the lapels of a jacket. Hearing someone call him a partner to Kim Possible was the greatest feeling that he could feel. It was probably the highest point of his life, at least so far.

"Welcome," The long brown hair lady said again, "to the space station Aquarius. I am Lady Une, this sitting next to me is Mr. Treize Kushrinada. Over there next to him are Heero Yuy." Kim and Ron saw the brown hair boy with the blue eyes nod.

"Next to him is Trowa Barton." Trowa raised his hand and Kim looked into that one exposed green eye. There she saw a glimmer of kindness.

"Last of all, we have Wufei Chang." Lady Une introduced, it was the boy who wore Chinese clothes, and he only rose his hand but never opened his eyes. He simply stayed in that eye closed arrogant posture. Kim knew that she wouldn't' exactly get a long quite well with him.

"You already know Quatre and Duo, don't you?" Lady Une asked

"Ah." Ron stammered, "Yes, we do."

"We've been informed of your problem and we're ready to help." Kim stepped forward

"That is quite good to know." Treize said, and that was when Kim and Ron first heard Treize's voice. It was slow, calm and penchant yet it was the same as a philosopher speculating on the existence of man. "Having your cooperation will be of great value to us."

"We were informed of these stolen plans of yours, Mr. Kushrinada." Kim said as she sat down at the conference table, "What exactly was it? We know that it's a mobile suit but what kind?"

"I have given the suit a name, Epyon." Treize said calmly, "It is a suit that will turn its pilot into an ultimate weapon. This is why we must stop Shego at all costs. We are already tracking her as we speak and I assume that your information gatherer, Wade is doing the same thing."

The way Treize had said your information gatherer, it sounded so thick and condescending to Kim. It was as if Treize was some high form of man and that Kim was lower than he was. It was that level of arrogance that made Kim's blood boil but she had to endure it if she was going to stop Shego at all.

"Yes, he is." Kim stated, "I do know that you will tell us when you find Shego first and I'll tell you if Wade finds her first. I certainly hope we can get through this as quickly and painlessly as possible."

"Hphm." Wufei scoffed, "just something a ditzy cheerleader would say."

Kim slammed her fist down on the table, "What was that!?" She scolded the boy in white Chinese clothes. First it was Treize's condescending comment, now it was Wufei's chauvinistic attitude that pushed Kim as far as she would go.

Wufei turned to Kim, opened his eyes and said coldly, "I said, just something a ditzy cheerleader would say."

"That's it!" Kim shouted as she got to her feet and jumped up on the table.

Ron was immediately behind her, "KP, let's calm down. Fighting amongst ourselves won't get us anywhere."

Lady Une agreed, "Mr. Stoppable is right. We can't spend our time fighting each other, not while the enemy has in her possession the means of creating one of the most dangerous mobile suits known to any of us. So, let's begin the training."

000

A few weeks later, Kim, Ron and Rufus were starting to get used to the gravity of the situation as well as the weight of their weights. The Gundam pilots introduced them to their style of mobile suit training. Part of the training required them to use weights as they trained. Thanks to the thrusters of the Space Station Aquarius the gravity was brought up to 0.80 that of Earth's gravity. Though that didn't exactly easy how much weight that Kim, Ron and Rufus had to carry. For Kim and Ron, they had to wear weighted clothes, both wearing a single shirt that weighed 100 pounds, wristbands that weighed 10 pounds each, and ankle bands weighing 40 pounds each. So Ron and Kim had to wear 200 pounds worth of weights. Though Rufus on the other hand was a different story, his weights were only a mere few pounds. Even with that he still struggled like Kim and Ron as they progressed week after week. The roughest part was that they had to sleep with the weights on and that wasn't even the hardest part.

As Ron, Kim and Rufus learned, their trainers would be the Gundam pilots themselves. Duo would be teaching them hit and run tactics, such as the art of disappearing and covering. Quatre on the other hand was teaching them Diplomacy whenever it may be needed. Heero on the other hand was teaching them combat skills, like Wufei who was their martial arts teacher. Kim found it infuriating that such a chauvinist would be her martial arts teacher. Finally, Trowa was teaching Ron and Kim acrobatics. Kim found the training very helpful; she felt that once her task was done she could use some of these moves on the cheerleading squad. She smiled thinking of all the flips and tricks she would do with the jealous Bonnie watching. That gave Kim an even better reason to keep going with such rigorous training.

It went on like this for weeks, never stopping once. Needless to say, Kim, Ron and Rufus were very exhausted, but they were feeling the benefits. There were times when Ron would look at himself and see how big his muscles have gotten in the past few weeks. Ron fantasized about how the kids at school wouldn't bug him anymore when they see the muscles he had developed. He even thought about the cheerleaders finally noticing him. Yet, something in the back of Ron's mind was tickling him. It had something to do with Kim, he thought back to the time when Kim got a tick sized explosive stuck to her nose. It was up to him to get it off. He remembered how he held Kim, used Diablo hot sauce, and a straw to get it off. Why was he thinking about that?

At the same time Kim had a different thought that was tickling her. In all the times she and Ron had worked together she never really and truly thanked him for his work. His role as a goofy sidekick or partner as he liked to be called was very helpful in those times of need. Along with the fact that Kim and Ron had known each other for a very long time. But there was one time when Kim desperately wanted a very nice and sheik green leather jacket. She tried to work for it but her efforts were futile, it was ironic how she could do all this work yet she couldn't work part time. Then Ron made the greatest act of kindness that Kim had ever seen, Ron had bought that green leather jacket for her. Why was she thinking about it? She always tried to think of Ron as a friend and nothing more, but this latest mission or rather war she had been dragged into had brought her closer to Ron. At last she dismissed it because it was the day when the weights came off.

It was in the gymnasium that they were holding this special event. At least it was special to Ron, Kim and Rufus. There in front of them were their teachers, the Gundam pilots, Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre and Wufei. This even would allow them to go through each teacher and be verified of their abilities. The first was Heero who would test them in their physical prowess.

"Kim Possible," He called, "Ron Stoppable, and Rufus, step forward."

Kim, Ron and Rufus did so.

"The first examination will be your speed. Each of you must run to the end of the gym and back in under 10 seconds with your weights on. That will be a total of 100 meters. Get ready."

Ron, Kim and Rufus took their places, their eyes set on the end of the gym. All three of them looked at it like a sniper focusing in on the target before squeezing the trigger. This was it. Heero took out a small stopwatch with his thumb on the start button like it was the ever-famous detonation trigger.

"Go!" Heero shouted as he pressed the start button.

All three of his students dashed like cheetahs on overdrive to the end of the gym. Its wall came within range in only five seconds. They held their feet up against the wall to push against it to reborn back to the finish line. They recoiled like bouncing off of a trampoline and thanks to the tough materials of the station it didn't break. The dashed back to the finish line as if their lives depended on it. Finally their feet touched the finish line, Heero squeezed the stop button and looked at the numbers. He looked at his students who hadn't even broken a sweat from that 100-meter dash and with their weights on.

"How did we do?" Ron asked

"Time: 9.5 seconds." Heero never smiled, "all of you have done well. Duo, you're next."

Duo stepped forward, "Alright, kiddies." He smiled, "my test will determine how good you all are at covert covers, in other words hiding from the enemy. What I'm going to do is blindfold myself and count to ten. By that time all three of you should be well hidden from my vision. Ready?"

All three looked very ready for this one test. It was something that both Ron and Rufus accelerated at this section of training. They watched as Duo took out a blindfold from his pocket and tied it around his head. He made sure he couldn't see anything.

"Remember, none of the other Gundam pilots will tell me where you are, so you may rest assured that I won't cheat. Got it?"

"Yes." Duo's students said in unison.

"Good." Duo smiled, "Go! 1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10."

In those ten seconds Ron, Rufus and Kim were all gone by the time that Duo had taken off his blindfold. This would have been a great magic trick to have at parties. Duo with his keen eyes looked from left to right around the gym and he couldn't find Kim, Ron or Rufus anywhere. Even his senses about people around him couldn't tell. He smiled at how his students had accelerated.

"You can come out now." Duo laughed.

The gym wall looked as though it was rippling, and then it gave way. It was simply a cloth disguised into the gym background. Behind that disguise cloth was Kim and Ron. Though Duo couldn't only counted two of his students found.

"Where's Rufus?" he asked, then he felt a wriggling in his left pocket and out popped the naked mole-rat, Rufus. "Very clever." Duo smiled, "that takes care of my test. Trowa, they're all yours."

Trowa stepped forward, "This test will be a determination of your acrobatic skills. The first up to the test shall be Ron Stoppable, then it shall be Kim, and finally Rufus."

Ron stepped up and took his stance. Within a matter of seconds as if someone had programmed him to do it, Ron had done flips and aerial tricks the likes of which only a few weeks ago he had dreamed of doing. Now he was actually doing it. The feeling of flight under his own strength gave Ron such a high that he couldn't help but laugh. Next was Kim, she followed suit and so did Rufus. Rufus was the most amazing since he did tricks that amazed even Kim and he was moving at such as speed that made her think of New York rats.

"Excellent." Trowa complemented, "Wufei your next."

Wufei stepped forward, "My test will test the strength of your flesh, integrity and will to fight. However, I will choose one for each fight with me. For my first match of this test, I choose, the cheerleader, Kim Possible. Step forward."

Kim did so, she looked at Wufei with narrowed eyes. Wufei may have been her teacher of the martial arts but she still had a great contempt for him. Him and his chauvinistic views, thinking that women were weak, he had never truly seen Kim in action on her own missions. She took her fighting stance as Wufei took off his white tunic. He revealed the deep blue tank top he had and the slightly bulging muscles of his arms.

The fight began; Kim dashed forward with her fist drawn back ready to strike Wufei. She allowed the blow to fly with all her strength, focus and wild emotion at Wufei. It was only a matter of seconds before Wufei was flat on the ground. He was looking up at the ceiling of the gym and feeling the numbing sensation of Kim's blow in his face. Soon it began to swell and pulse with his heartbeat as the blood vessels were regaining passages through the dent.

Wufei got up rubbing his face, "Not bad, for a cheerleader." He said holding his nose, "Next I choose Ron Stoppable. Step forward."

Ron began to fight Wufei, in his fight the two exchanged blows left and right. They even exchange kicks of low, medium and high above the head. At last Ron made the knock out, it was a one-inch punch and that was all it took to send Wufei to the ground.

"Very impressive." Wufei smiled.

Quatre stepped forward to Ron, Kim and Rufus, "All of you have shown amazing abilities. You have even learned the ways of how to focus your sharpened skills and new found talents. You have passed all the tests with flying colors. As your reward you may now remove your weights."

"Ah." Ron exhaled, "Finally." He reached up and pulled off his weights. First his wrists, then his ankles and last of all, his shirt. It all came off leaving him feeling lighter than air. Allowing all those weights come down was like lifting the weight of the world off of his shoulders. Kim followed in the same way and she had the same feelings as Ron, as well as Rufus who followed in due course. All three of them were in absolute bliss to get that stuff off. Then Ron tried jumping and even the slightest jump made him go as high as Kim's head.

"This is great!" He shouted, "I feel lighter than air!"

"Me too." Kim smiled, "This is amazing."

Ron lifted his shirt, "And check me out, I'm built!" It was true Ron had developed a nice six-pack, which was a nice change from just the flat stomach that he had.

"Congratulations." Quatre clapped, "you're now physically able to pilot the Gundams. Thanks to the training that I've given you on mobile suit operation you'll be able to pilot them like riding a bike. With that in mind all you'd have to do is apply the skills you learned from the rest of us to the Gundam. As a matter of fact, I've received news that your Gundams have been finished and that they'll be shipped here within a few hours. Have you decided who will pilot what?"

"I've chosen the Vayeate." Kim said, "Ron has chosen the Mercurius."

"Very well, Gundam pilots." Quatre smiled.

To be continued…
