CH: 4
The New Ron
Ron yawned as he woke up from the great 3 day sleep he had taken after he got back to his house. Normally this would be considered unhealthy, but Ron didn't sleep at all during his final training and needed the time to rest and relax so that he could be ready for the first day of school, which was today.
Getting up, Ron stretched one more time; he admired his new body he had gained from the Lin Que training. Feeling the need to quench his ego a bit, Ron jumped in front of his full-length mirror and started poising in front of it. "Hey there ya lovey ladies, how's about you ladies and I go somewhere later?" He chuckled at what he said as he continued to admire himself in the mirror. "BOO YAH! Hmm. Ya know I think its time for a little change in dress." Smiling, Ron went to his closet.
Walking down stairs for breakfast, Ron was wearing some new clothes rather than his trusty red jersey and kaki's. Instead he wore a tight blue sleeveless shirt with navy blue pants with black fingerless gloves. He also walked with a confident stride of a man who knew he looked good. When Mrs. Stoppable saw her son, she smiled at what he was wearing.
"I see someone is happy with what he has gained over the summer."
Ron laughed and flexed his arms for show. "Hey mom like the people say 'If ya got it, flaunt it'. After breakfast I'm gonna see if KP'S head turns at what new guns I have." His mother could only laugh at her son's attitude which he had gained from his father. Soon Ron was out the door and went next door to see the Possibles.
Knocking on the door he heard Mrs. Possible's voice. "Who is it?"
"Hey Mrs. Dr. P its Ron is Kim ready to go yet?"
"Ron! My goodness it's been months since we saw you, come in come in! Its so nice to have you back, and I know Kim has missed her frie…" Was all Mrs. Possible could say as she opened the door and got a look at Ron's new body. "Wow, Ron is that you!" Ron could only laugh at her reaction.
"Yep Mrs. P, this is the new me. I found some good exercises during the summer and help me sculpt my self into this."
Mrs. Possible stopped staring and smiled at Ron though she had to admit, with this new body, it showed off the boys hidden good looks that were diluted because of his once frail looking frame. Now with that gone, he looked very handsome with his lean yet powerful build. And if she didn't know any better, she would say that he even grew quiet a bit over the summer. Whatever happened to him this summer was a great improvement on what he was.
She then heard her daughter come down the stairs. "Mom is that Ron?" Kim asked very excited that her friend was back.
"That it is Kimmy." Mrs. Possible replied as Kim ran to the door and stopped as she looked a Ron.
"R-Ron is that you?" She asked in disbelief.
"Yep Kim it's me alright! Uh Kim what are you doing?" he asked as she was looking his hands all around.
"Okay Ron where is that muscle enhancer ring? I thought you got over that." She asked him as she finished her search.
Ron shook his head at her as he flexed. "Nope KP, this ante fake, this is pure 100 Ron factor were talkin about here. Did some hard exercises that gave me great results."
Kim could only nod and smiled at her friend that she had missed all summer. She was so happy that she hugged him, happy he was back. "I missed you Ron." Ron hugged her back.
"Missed you too KP."
Even though Mrs. Possible thought all of this was rather sweet, she had to stop it before they were late. "Alright kids its time for you guys to leave for school." Mrs. P, said as the two started out toward school.
The two had walked in a comfortable silence as they each had their own thoughts going through there head. Kim couldn't believe how much Ron had changed over the summer. Even his walk, which was once laid back and sloppy, had become a movement of grace and showed a good amount of confidence. Something was up; no one could have changed so much in just a few short months, no matter how hard they exercised, he was like a whole new person. But that questioning was for later, she'd get him to tell her what happened sooner or later, for now she was just happy having her friend back.
As they continued to walk, Kim was amazed at how much she was focused on how good looking he was. With his hair combed back into a spike style, his sleeveless shirt and fighting gloves gave him a sort of aggressive yet handsome look. His good looks weren't really that surprising to her really. Unknown to Ron, many of the girls at school had admitted that he was one of the cutest guys in the school. Even some cheerleaders said that he was cute; hell even Bonnie admitted he was cute in his own loser way of course. The reason his love life wasn't very good was because of his attitude of 'Never be Normal' caused the girls to be pushed away by his individuality. Only Zeta and herself saw the person behind the goofiness. But the way he looked now, with all his muscles accentuating his looks, she hoped that he'd have a better time getting a date.
When they arrived at the front gates of the school Ron looked at Kim. "Well KP, ya ready for a new year?" He asked her while she just smiled. "Always ready Ron." With this they went in as the bells rang.
2nd period Class:
The first part of the new school year Ron felt incredible. His ego had never had such a boost as over the two class's girls all were ogling at his body and he loved it. It was nice to have some female admirers considering they all used to laugh at him. Some of them, even cheerleaders asked him out for dates. With such new girl attention towards him, he became shy and started gently turning them down which only made them more persistent. It was second period when Ron got ready for P.E.; this time they started in the weight room. As he was about to step in the area, the bulky arm of Brick Flag stopped him.
"Hey Ronny, have a good summer?"
"Yeah I did Brick now if you'll be so kind…" As he walked into the room, he was forcefully turned around facing Brick's arrogant face.
"Listen here Stoppable, you better remember the status around here. Just cause ya got some muscle doesn't mean your any less of a loser."
"What did you say?" Asked Ron in a deadly tone which Brick obliviously ignored.
"Ya heard me, ya still a pint sized loser around here." Though Brick was too thick to realize Ron had grown to his height of 6'. "You're still nothing around here but the weak side show to Kim Possible. I am one of the royalty in this school along with Josh and my friends here, we rule this school. I just needed to remind you of that." Brick Smiled at Ron.
Ron was surprised at how much control he needed in keeping his temper. He first thought to just back away, but shook his head; he was tired of the mask he put up for the people around him. As he looked at Brick he was tempted to wipe that smug look off his face, painfully. It would be so easy to do with his power. One move he could break his arm, or just freeze him to the wall. But he knew that wouldn't do, looking around he saw a bench press that had 250 pounds on it. He smiled as he got inspiration.
"So Brick you think I'm weak?"
"Everybody knows that Stoppable."
"Well then let's have a wager; I bet you I could lift that bar 50 times."
"Hah! You would have better chance getting a date than doing that. I can't even do that and I'm one of the strongest guys in school."
'Oh you'd be surprised at how easy that is for me now.' Ron thought as he said out loud. "So what you're saying is that you're too much of a coward to take me up on that?" Ron smiled as he knew that would get him.
"GRRR you're on Stoppable!" Brick growled he knew Stoppable wasn't able to do it.
Too bad he had no idea how wrong he was. In the training Ron had in the frozen Tundra he had to constantly stay active to survive the harsh cold. This meant hours on end with no sleep, just running exercises and weight training, also the fact he had to break three foot thick ice with his fist, to achieve higher training from his master, as well as his final trial strengthening him by 40 gave him new and immense power that Brick couldn't even come close to matching.
When Ron got to the bench he lifted the bar with a slight wince, but it disappeared as he started doing steady reps. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5…" Ron counted out loud. As he got to thirties everyone in the weight room stopped and went over to watch Ron do something Brick couldn't do. When he got to the 40's he slowed down and looked at Brick's shell shocked face. He stopped after 49 and just let the bar stay near his chest, until he heaved upwards while sitting up. This caused the weights to hit the roof making dents and fall down with a loud clang sound nearly breaking the bench. Getting up Ron looked at everyone and simply said. "50" For the rest of the class everyone stepped back from him, while Brick seethed.
Cafeteria:
When Ron got his tray, he walked over to his and Kim's table. There Monique was there and started whistling at Ron's change. Ron blushed at what she was doing while he started walking over to the table. "Damn boy! What-cha ya do this summer?"
Ron just chuckled at her. "Well I just did some exercises all summer."
"Yeah right." Monique said not buying his story.
"Uh oh look I forgot to get my third desert, I'll be right back." Ron said quickly as he walked back in line and away from the curious Monique.
Monique went closer to Kim to whisper to her. "So Kim what do you think is up. He doesn't have that muscle ring on, maybe steroids?"
Kim shook her head. "Nah I know Ron isn't stupid enough to use something like that."
"Still Kim you can't tell me that the way Ron looks right now makes you wonder what he's been doing. I mean even if he did what he said, there is no way he could get the results he has now in a few short months."
Kim had to nod at that. "That's true and I am curious about it, but this is Ron. I know him and he wouldn't do something that would harm himself physically. He has a secret and I believe he'll tell me what it is soon." She then did a later note. "If not, I'll just bug him until he cracks." Kim and Monique giggled at what she said.
"Heh, well at least the poor guy should get a bit more date proposals now. Considering how the other cheerleaders are looking at him." Sure enough, Kim looked at the cheerleading table and saw most of them watching Ron. Even Bonnie was caught a few times glimpsing at him.
"I can't believe that this guy is THE Ron Stoppable the biggest loser the school ever knew. There has to be a catch to his knew look. There has to be." Bonnie muttered to her friends that weren't listening to her as all their attention was on Ron. 'Hmm, I wonder what he'd look like in spandex.' Immediately Bonnie started shaking her head wildly to erase that thought. 'What the hell am I thinking! He's the schools loser and idiot, I'm not interested in his big…strong…muscles…his…cute…but. ARRRGH!' Bonnie growled as she put her head in her hands in frustration.
For the rest of the day went pretty uneventful for the two heroes'; though Ron was getting tired of always being asked if his muscles were fake or if he took steroids. While the guys asked him this, many girls asked Kim were she had been hiding Ron's hunkyness and if he was available. After the first few hours of the questioning, both were just about ready to smash their heads into their desks to drown out the voices of the people. After the last bell rang, both had looked up and worded 'Thank You!' to the heavens as they headed for their cheer leading practice.
Ron smiled as he got into the guys locker room. Being the mascot of the cheerleaders was something he really did enjoy, which was why he put so much energy into his cheering. As the mad dog, he was able to cut loose and show off what he could really do by doing back flips and slam dunks. He laughed as he thought it was funny that no one thought it was weird how he was able to do half court slam dunks and move so agile as a mascot when normally he was considered clumsy and an all around goof. As he got into the now very tight suit and head he went outside and waited for his cue. Then he got an idea that would surely blow those guys mind. If he didn't have the mask on, one would see that he was laughing at himself.
About half way through the cheerleader's routine, Ron made his entrance old Mad dog style, slamming open the doors and started doing front flips till he got in front of the cheerleaders. He started his foam action and shook his head, spraying the foam on the ground. Deciding now was the time to show them the new move, he grabbed a basketball and jumped onto the basketball rim base and using the bending momentum of it, he leaped toward the other rim clear across the gym spinning the whole way, and finally slam dunking the ball. When he landed he barked and howled while he raised his arms up in victory.
After the performance he looked over and to his delight all of the cheerleaders were gapping at him. They had never seen anyone let alone Ron do that before. Ron smiled smugly at them though you couldn't see it through his mask. Walking over to Bonnie he crossed his arms over his puffed up chest.
"So Bon-Bon, what do you think of the Mad Dog now?"
"…….."
With this as his answer, Ron strutted to the locker room and got ready to go. The rest of the cheerleaders decided to quiet early after THAT display and left to change for home.
As Ron got out of the gym who should he find but Brick outside with an angry scowl on his face. "What do you want now Brick?" Ron asked evenly which only made Brick growl more.
"You think you can just humiliate me and get away with it, just like that! You're in trouble now Stoppable! When I'm done with you no girl, not even Kim, will go near you!"
With these last words, Brick swung at Ron, but to his surprise he felt no impact. He looked and found Ron on the left side of his arm calmly standing. Growling, Brick swung again at Ron, but he once again hit nothing. Getting really angry now, he swung at Ron as fast as he could; all the while Ron was dodging the blows just like Takahashi did when the exchange student and he 'fought'.
After a minute Ron decided to end this as he spoke to Brick while he still kept punching away. "Dude stop this you can't come close to hitting me, and I'm getting tired of you trying."
"Sh-Shut up Stoppable! No loser will beat m…ARRGH!" This was all he said as Ron grabbed his wrist and squeezed hard causing Brick immense pain. The difference between Takahashi and Ron was that Ron's martial arts was far more powerful and brutal than Takahashi's so just dodging wasn't enough for Ron, he needed to make Brick know that he wasn't going to take his shit anymore.
The pain was now enough to cause Brick to go to his knees. Ron then looked down at him and spoke evenly. "Listen Brick, I am not a loser. I will never again take yours or anyone's teasing again. Leave me alone, that is my final warning Brick." With this Ron roughly let go of Brick and started walking to where he would meet Kim. Leaving am angry Brick holding his hurt wrist, glaring at Ron's retreating figure.
He walked to front where as usual Kim was waiting. "Hey KP how's it goin?"
"There you are, were have you been? I thought you would have been here by now?"
"Wellll, lets just say I was stalled for a bit. Anyway KP, how was your day?" Ron asked, as he listened to her he was happy that he was back. Nothing could go wrong now, no matter what villain they had to fight.
Some Where in an unknown cave:
Dr. Draken was grinning like an idiot as he typed away on his computer the plan he had been working on for a month. Coming in from an elevator, Shego walked in with a two piece swim suit, a summer jacket, sunglasses and sandals as she walked to her office, finished with her summer vacation. When she got on her usual green and black body suit, she walked over to Dr. Draken.
"Hey Dr. D, what have you been doing all summer? Trying to become 'Cool' again?" She asked amused at all his other 'Cool' schemes.
Draken decided to tune her sarcasm out and turned to her. "No Shego, I have been studying our failures during the summer while you where away. The main reason none of my schemes have worked so far is because of one person, KIM POSSIBLE!"
"Gee and it took you this long to figure it out."
Draken ignored her scathing and continued. "Also I have found that every time she bests you in fighting, no offense Shego, and I decided to get help. I hacked into the GJ files on their greatest criminals they have and found two candidates they have in lock-up that are considered the worst of them all."
Tapping a button on his computer the screen came up with two large pictures of two men. One was in a large black trench coat and black tank top that showed his powerful muscles, he wore martial arts gloves and had a wolverine like hair style. The other man was a very hairy man with a crew cut that wore just an open vest and black gloves. On his neck was a clump of blonde hair tided to a string to make a necklace. But the most noticeable feature was that on his right side of his face had a metal plate with a glowing red eye.
"Meet the ones I decided to help us, Mavado and Kano."
To be continued:
(So now the Mortal Kombat world is now starting to really come to light. And before anyone say's anything I decided not to have Kim and Ron go into Mortal Kombat. That is too obvious and I consider myself a very original thinker for my stories. But don't you think I'll only have Ron do the fighting, Kim will also gain abilities just as all the other combatants. Anyway as always please review!)
