"The Confrontation Part 2 of 2"


Monkey Fist nodded to Drakken who walked back into the control room. Monkey Fist continued, "You will surrender the Lotus Blade to its rightful owner." Monkey Fist made a hand gesture to himself.

Kim yelled, "Don't give Monkey Fist the Lotus Blade."

"Keep dreaming Monkey Boy." Ron knew this was coming and knew the cage appeared to be electrified but he was going to play along.

"Soon you will wish this was a dream young Stoppable." Monkey Fist turned and nodded at Drakken through the glass. Drakken pushed a button and suddenly the laser moved and the laser targeted Kim. Kim tried to keep moving but there wasn't enough space in the cage and the laser was able to keep Kim targeted.

Monkey Fist laughed. "If you don't surrender the Lotus Blade to me, Kim Possible will pay the ultimate price."

Kim just stared wide eyed at Ron. She was starting to open her eyes:

Ron had to have known this most likely was a trap yet he came anyway. He's always been at my side and pulled me throughwhenever. I'veneeded him. He's put himself in harms way for me more times than I can remember. Who else has done that? She thought about Eric and how he's running at the first sign of trouble. She and Josh had grown apart as it became clear their hearts were leading them on different paths in life. Ron was still here after all these years through thick and thin even with the rotten things she had done to him, fighting for her. Ron's my white knight in shining armor. Kim felt this warm sensation inside. Could it be I've never imagined? Could it be I'm falling for Ron?

Ron purposely turned toward to cage to appear to be walking toward it. Monkey Fist said "I wouldn't take another step. The cage has a proximity sensor. You get within 10 feet and the cage will be electrified with a fatal charge."

Ron continued to play along. "You won't get away with this Monkey Fist."

"Oh but I think I already have. I grow impatient. Hand over the Lotus Blade now or Miss Possible here will gain a new appreciation for electricity."

Kim shouted, "No Ron, don't do it."

Ron looked at Kim (tears streaming down her face) and then up above at the control room where he saw Drakken's evil grin and his finger getting ready to push a button.

Ron shouted, "Wait, ok you win but I need some assurance that Kim will be ok."

"We aren't going to let Miss Possible out of the cage if that's what you mean. You will join her in the cage and you two love birds can get reacquainted."

"I don't like those terms."

"It's either you hand over the Lotus Blade and join her in the cage or farewell Ms. Possible. The choice is yours."

Ron appeared to be deep in thought mulling it over.

Kim shouted, "No Ron, please don't do it."

"Time is up, you either choose or I make the choice for you."

Ron let out a deep sigh as if he was defeated and said, "You win. The Lotus Blade is yours."

Kim shouted, "Ron, no…." Kim started to weep harder.

Monkey Fist raised his fists in the air. "At last what rightfully belongs to me is mine again." He looked at Ron and said, "Drakken's finger is still on the button. You try anything funny and Ms. Possible gets it, understood?" Ron had a look of hopelessness on his face and was looking down at the ground, slouched over. He nodded yes. He looked over at Kim and then back at the ground.

Monkey Fist walked down the catwalk and climbed down the ladder to the floor. He cautiously walked over to Ron. A very defeated looking Ron put the Lotus Blade on the ground in front of him and Monkey Fist very cautiously picked it up. He raised the sword in victory and shouted, "The Lotus Blade is mine again." He told Ron to walk toward the cage and Ron complied. He told Kim not to move or they both get it. Kim sat still and Monkey Fist nodded to Drakken who killed the magnetic door switch. Drakken was behind Ron with the Lotus Blade touching Ron's back. He told Ron to open the door and walk in slowly. Ron complied and walked in. As soon as Ron was inside Monkey Fist nodded and Drakken reactivated the magnetic door switch. Drakken and Shego came out of the control room and stood on the catwalk. They were celebrating the victory and talking about which continent they would conquer first.

Inside the cage Kim ran to Ron literally jumped on Ron knocking him over. "KP, I can't breathe." Kim let loosed her grip as she continued to embrace Ron, tears steadily streaming down her face. "I'm so sorry I got you involved in this. I never should have come here alone. Drakken trapped me using Eric and now they have you and the Lotus Blade because of me." Kim let go and pulled back to look at Ron's face. "Why did you do it Ron? That was so foolish. With the Lotus Blade they will be virtually unstoppable. You should have let me go." Kim hugged Ron again and put her head on his shoulder continuing to sob. Ron inhaled her scent. She was wearing perfume from when she was getting ready to go to dinner. That combined with the scent of her hair was intoxicating to Ron. He never wanted to let her go of the embrace. Kim continued, "Drakken finally won. At least we are together our last moments."

This time Ron let go of the embrace and looked at Kim's tear stained face and into her deep green eyes which were now reddish-green because she had been crying. Ron wiped away the fresh tears from her cheeks with his fingers and smiled as he said, "I wouldn't be so sure of Drakken and Monkey Fists victory. Besides, I couldn't let them hurt you, never KP." Ron embraced Kim again and whispered, "Don't move just listen. I have a plan. Things are going to happen fast. I will grab the Lotus Blade and disable the laser cannon and disable the electrical system. The Lotus Blade will have no problem slicing through these bars. You get Eric and run. I got a personal score to settle with Monkey Boy."

"I'm not leaving you. We'll free Eric and help him out of here but I am staying. How are you going to get the Lotus Blade away from Monkey Fist?"

"Monkey Fist's heart isn't pure." Kim had no idea what Ron meant by this.

"Are you ready?" Kim nodded.

Ron got up and closed his eyes and called the Lotus Blade with his spirit. Suddenly the blade pulled out of Monkey Fist's hands and flew into the cage into Ron's awaiting hands.

Monkey Fist was in shock. "No, this can't be happening? This isn't possible."

Kim was equally shocked that Ron could just suddenly call the Lotus Blade right out of Monkey Fist's hands since he also had mystical monkey power. She had seen Ron call the blade before but it had been from its resting place and not from a person's hand. It was later explained that one's heart had to be pure to call the Lotus Blade. Since Monkey Fist had the mystical monkey power, once in his hands Monkey Fist could control the Lotus Blade but he could not call to it. Ron on the other hand could call the Lotus Blade and it would obey.

Monkey Fist shouted for Drakken to activate the cage's laser and electrical field. Drakken rushed back into the control room but it was too late. With the Lotus Blade Ron leapt into the air and slashed the mounting arm of the laser cannon. It crashed to the ground. Ron closed his eyes and the Lotus Blade started glowing again. He opened his eyes and touched the blade to one of the steel cage bars. The whole cage started glowing as well as the electrical enclosure outside. As Drakken went to push a button, the control panel shorted out and he slightly shocked himself.

Ron walked over and using the blade he cut the plastic ties that bound Eric. Eric was still hysterical. Eric got up ran up and tried to pull the door open. It wouldn't budge. Ron took the Lotus Blade and took two slashes and kicked away 6 of the bars making a 4 x 4 opening in the cage. Eric immediately jumped out and starting running. Ron and Kim just looked at each other. Eric had no idea where he was going but didn't seem to care and starting running as fast as he could. Ron helped Kim out of the cage before exiting himself.

Monkey Fist shouted "Monkey Ninja's attack!" The room filled with two dozen Monkey ninjas. Kim got into fighting stance preparing to take on the Monkey Ninjas. Ron closed his eyes and held out his left hand, palm toward the Monkey Ninjas. Suddenly the Monkey Ninjas all left.

Monkey Fist was about to pull his hair out. "The buffoon has learned to use the mystical monkey power the stones gave to him. Mystical monkey power was suppose to be mine alone. This isn't fair."

Shego slid down the railing of the ladder and got into fighting stance with his hands glowing green. Ron and Kim looked at each other. Ron said, "Monkey Boy is mine."

Ron closed his eyes and let go of the Lotus Blade. It disappeared. He motioned with his hands for Monkey Fist to approach. "I don't need the Lotus Blade to kick your tail."

Kim got into fighting stance to take on a now charging Shego.
