I don't own KP, Tara, or Team Go.

Chapter 10: Gill Returns, Again

"This is not good," Kim said as Aurora let Kim and Ron down in an alley.

"You think," Aurora retorted.

"There's no reason to get testy, Aurora," Ron said.

"Really," she replied, "A mutant freak and some crazy extreme teen now have the most powerful mutagenic formula on the planet. And that isn't a reason to get testy?"

"Hey," Kim said, "Don't talk to him like that! You shouldn't have been stealing."

"You don't know anything about what I'm doing," Aurora shouted, "Jack Hench was making that stuff for a private client. He was planning on testing it…on your friends and families! I couldn't let them do that. I tried contacting Global Justice, but all they did was make an antidote to the formula. That wasn't enough! I had to take matters into my own hands."

"You could have told us to begin with," Kim said.

"Kim, do you realize how hard that would have been to do?" Aurora replied, "I didn't ask to be a superhero. I was a normal girl. I want to be normal again. But I didn't have any say in the mater. Some freak grabbed me and got that formula all over me! I don't want that to happen to anyone else."

"Wait a sec," Ron said, "TARA? Is that you?"

"Darn," Tara said, "How'd you know? Never mind. We don't have time for banter."

"Um…yeah," Kim said, trying to keep her composure (she couldn't believe Tara was Aurora), "You said that GJ had an antidote. If we contact them, they could use it to turn Shego, Mego, and anyone else Gill mutates back to normal."

"Yeah, KP," Ron said, "But—"

Kim pulled out her kimunicator; when she got only static, she said, "Gill must be jamming the signal. I should have guessed that he'd do that. We'll have to go with plan B."

"Which is…?" Ron asked.

"I...don't know," Kim said.

"How about becoming my mutant minions," Gill said, "That work for you?"

"KP, Aurora, GO," Ron said, "I'll hold him off."

"No way, Ron," Kim said, "I—"

Ron cut her off by kissing her and said, "I love you."

"Ron?" Kim said while Ron pulled the cord that activated her jetpack, "NO! RO-O-ON!"

"GO, Aurora," Ron shouted, "I can handle him."

Aurora sped off as Ron tackled the now very heavy Gill. Gill bat Ron aside like a rag doll. He was sure Gill hade broken something, but he had to keep going. He had to buy Kim time to find out how Gill was jamming the kimunicator. He slipped into a combat stance he rarely used. It seemed like it had been forever since he had actually used Monkey Kung Fu on a real person. He had practiced a bit, but not with a sparing partner. Now wasn't the time to have doubts.

"You can't win, squeeb," Gill said.

"Kim told you to never call me that," Ron said.

"What'll she do about it?"

"Shut up," Ron said, "I'll take you on."

Ron sent a kick to Gills face. The mutant dodged it with ease. Ron was ready for that. As he landed he turned and made a sweeping kick along Gill's legs. Gill plummeted to the ground. Ron got out of the way. That made Gill very angry. He started shooting muck at Ron. Ron ran…fast. Eventually he came to a dead end. That was fine. He was done running. When Gill came into his view, Ron jump kicked him in the chest. After recovering, Gill grabbed Ron by his arms. Ron tried to get free, but Gill was just too strong. He slammed Ron into a brick wall. He then started hitting him…with the bricks. It hurt so much. Ron blacked out. He knew Gill was finished with him. Gill didn't want to just make Ron suffer, but make him watch Kim suffer. Before the darkness took him, Ron hoped that he'd bought Kim enough time.

To be continued…

Sorry I was a little late with this one, but it's here. Two more chapters to go (honest): Unlikely Alliance and Letting Go. I have some plans for next week, so I don't know when they'll be in (sorry). I'll try to finish this story before the end of April (I can't make any promises though). I will be doing a sequel soon after I end this story. Here's some info on the plot:

"Ron decides to prove to himself that he's not a loser. And he does it just in time for his newfound skills to be needed to face new challenges and new foes."

Here are three titles I'm considering for it:

A Better Chapter In My Life (It's a linefrom a song)

New and Ron-proved (so corny, so "Ron-ish")

The Bigger, Badder, Better Ron (I think it sounds cool)

I already have an idea of which one I'm going to use. But, if enough people say they prefer another title in reviews, I might be swayed. No joke. Ha ha ha. Now that my April Fools Day joke is out of the way, enjoy Chapter 10. See you next time.
