I don't own KP.
Chapter 7: Mystical Monkey Power
"Lord Fiske, Mr. Stoppable," Kim said, "our path led to a dead-end."
The room Kim and Ron had entered was huge, about half the size of a football field. Several almost pipe-like structures came out of the twenty-foot tall pillars. There was six feet between each pillar. They were littered with inscriptions and patters concerning monkeys and Tye Shing Pek Kwar.
"Did you find it, Miss Possible?" Fiske asked, "You don't have to worry. I'm ready to tell my friend why I really came here."
She didn't like the way he said "friend", but she managed to say, "Yes."
Maxwell gave Fiske a quizzical look as Kim presented the idol. The closer she got the Fiske the worse her "bad-feeling" senses were going off.
Monty snatched the statue from her and said, "At last! All four monkeys are MINE!"
"Monty, what are you talking about?" Maxwell asked.
"Monkey ninjas, attack!"
"Monkey…ninjas?" Kim said.
As two of the said monkey ninjas pounced on Ron, he said, "Ah, no monkey touch! No monkey touch!"
Maxwell was also trying to deal with two monkey ninjas himself, and not doing to well. Kim tried to help Ron, but only got a kick in the side.
"Kimberly, I'd like to speak with you," her attacker said.
"Talk is cheap, Monty," she said, getting up and trying to kick him.
He dodged the kick and said, "Shadow Fox, I wouldn't do that if I were you. Otherwise someone might get hurt."
When Kim noticed that the monkeys had bound Ron, she said, "What do you want?"
"Give me a little time, Kimberly," he replied, then turned to one of the monkey ninjas and said, "Chippy, put the magic monkeys in place."
As the monkey did as ordered, Monty turned to Kim, who had moved closer to Ron's side, and said, "As I'm sure you know, I am a master of Tye Shing Pek Kwar."
"But did you know that I used the family fortune to get these," he said while removing his gloves to reveal his hairy hands.
"…and these," he continued, standing on his hands to reveal hairy feet with opposable toes.
"Bad road. Bad road," Ron said.
Chippy chattered something that Monty apparently understood. He took a step forward and a mysterious, yellow light overcame him.
He laughed maniacally and said, "I am…MONKEY FIST!"
"Definitely bad road," Kim said.
"Now, Shadow Fox—"
"That's "Kim Possible" to you," she shouted.
"Very well," Monkey Fist said, "I was thinking that, as the Ultimate Monkey Master, I'd need a body guard. Would you be interested in the job?"
"No."
"Come now. I'd pay you a hundred American dollars a day, Miss Possible."
"The answer is still no, Monkey freak."
"I don't think you understand—"
"I DO. Perfectly, Monty. And, no matter what you say, the Shadow Fox died today. I'll never take up your offer…ever."
"Fine," Monkey Fist said, then tripped her.
After Kim grunted in pain, he said, "Don't worry. The injury to your ankles is the least of your concern. BATES!"
Bates presented a plastic container that Fist was opening.
"The interesting thing about snakes, Kimberly," Fist said, "is that exposing them to a large amount of carbon dioxide can knock them out for days."
He pulled a long, black snake out of the container and said, "Kim Possible, met the Black Mamba. Black Mamba, met Kim Possible."
Kim froze as Fist continued (the Mamba was only a few inches from her face), "The Black Mamba has a several neurotoxins in her bite. These cause muscle paralysis, and, eventually, respiratory failure. In short, the venom will suffocate you. It takes up to two hours for the venom to take full effect. That's if you're bitten on the foot or the ankle. A bit to the face, however, can kill in a matter of minutes."
Ron knew that the only way to defeat Monkey Fist was to get these powers he suddenly had. Ron didn't even see him when he tripped Kim. Ron managed to sneak over to where Fist had been standing when he got those powers while he was ranting about the Mamba's poison. He felt a strange glow overcome him. His bonds broke.It was amazing and frightening at the same time.
"NO!" Fist shouted, ignoring Kim, "Mystical Monkey Power is reserved for me, and me alone!"
When the process was finished, Fist threw the Black Mamba at Ron.Ron grabbed it's neck, and snapped it. How he knew how to kill a snake, he wasn't sure. He just knew. He also knew how to fight Monkey Fist.
"I must disagree," Ron said, letting out a battle cry.
Monkey Fist gave his own battle cry and charged Ron. Ron didn't know how he knew how to fight. He just knew. He'd block left, right, low, and high instinctively. It was as if he was a master of marshal arts.
He sent a kick at Fist's midriff, knocking the wind out of him. Fist growled and sent a punch at Ron. Ron blocked it easily, but missed the second punch Fist threw with his other hand. It hit him hard in the head, dazing him. Fist tripped Ron and slammed a fist into his chest. It hurt. A lot!
"Mystical Monkey Power or not, you are still no match for a true master of Tye Shing Pek Kwar," Monkey Fist said.
"That's why I'm pulling the plug," Ron said, Fist statement giving him an idea, "Kim, brake the statues!"
"NO!" Fist shouted.
Kim kicked the nearest statue off of its stand. Ron suddenly wondered where the stands came from. He didn't have time to think about that. He had to distract Monkey Fist, so Kim could destroy the idols. It hurt to move, but he had to.
Fist managed to grab the first statue, but tripped in the process. Ron tackled Fist to keep him from stopping Kim from destroying the second statue. His plan failed. Fist knocked him off and caught the next falling idol.
The third statue fell almost immediately after the second one. Maxwell had, apparently, been trying to knock that one over since Ron ordered Kim to destroy the statues. Unfortunately, Fist caught that one too, thanks to his hand-like feet.
Ron noticed that, for some reason, the monkey ninjas were stopping Bates from helping Fist. Why? Ron hadn't the slightest idea. He heard a thud.
Monkey Fist laughed while holding the four Jade Monkeys and said, "I...I saved them all! Mystical Monkey Power will still be mine!"
"I don't think so, you hairy freak," Ron said, sending a spinning kick at Fist.
Ron stood with Monkey Fist at his feet. He felt a strange feeling overcome him. The power he felt before disappeared. No. It was more like it—what was that word—depleted.
"KP," Ron said with great effort, "I…don't...feel…so good."
He fell into Kim's arms.
"RON," he heard Kim say, "hold on, Ron. We'll…"
Kim's voice faded as darkness took him.
Well, glad that's over. I dread fight scenes, so tell me what I can do to make them better. Chapter 8: Pirates will be up by March 1st. Read and review.
