DISCLAIMER: The entire Kim Possible gang belongs to Disney. This story is written for the pleasure of the reader.
To Jasminever: I know, I know, but I wanted to add a little humor, which, surprisingly, is quite hard to do, after a kick-ass character like Sensei dies. I hope you're not offended in any way.
To Cool: No, Drakken and Shego are not in the Lotus Blade. I like the idea, though.
To Daft Strangus: Thanks for the spelling correction (And yes, I agree, Japanese is weird, isn't it?")
To all the people that miss Drakken and Shego: I can't say much, but there is a high chance that they will return in this story, though not in the expected way. So, keep your hopes up!
AND SO…Chapter 4:
"Thanks for the ride, Mr. Nakasumi!" Kim smiled at the Japanese Toy-Maker as she and Ron stepped out of the Jet.
Mr. Nakasumi whispered something into Miss Kyokos ear, and she quickly translated. "Mr. Nakasumi says he is happy to repay the favor, since you saved him from that Killigan man over the summer holidays."
"Oh, it was no big!" Kim shrugged it off. "It seemed only logical that we use his own exploding golf balls against him!"
"I'm surprised he wasn't injured when that building wall fell on top of him." Ron said, and then thought for a moment. "At least, not too badly."
"Oh, by the way, Miss Possible." Miss Kyoko smiled. "How was your trip?"
Kim looked confused, and was about to ask what trip, when Ron started talking for her.
"Oh, it was good, but she probably shouldn't go into the details!" Ron said hastily. "After all, Kim is quite the chatterbox, you know!" He waved to them as the started to fly away in the jet. Kim gave Ron her, 'Better-Tell-Me-Now' look, when she suddenly saw Ron shiver, as he looked at their surroundings.
They were in a large clearing, surrounded by trees, and when she looked straight, she saw why Ron had shivered.
Before them was a vast, temple like building, and the entrance to it…
Was a giant monkey mouth.
They stood there for a moment, before Kim grabbed Rons hand and dragged him towards the gaping entrance.
"Wow…" Ron muttered, as they walked into the temple. "It's not every day that you get eaten by a monkey."
Kim ignored her boyfriends statement and pressed onwards, until she came to a stop, her natural instincts overwhelming her. Ron stopped as well, and Rufus popped his pink little head out of Rons head to see what was the matter.
They were in a long hallway, and on each side of the hallway, there were small monkey heads, with wide open mouths. Kim picked up a pebble off the ground, and threw it directly in the line of sight of the closest monkey head.
And watched as it was obliterated in a long stream of red flame.
"Typical." Kim rolled her eyes, just as the whole corridor came alive with flame.
The three watched it with fascination, when finally, Kim spoke up.
"Ron…" She muttered, still staring at the fire blazing from the monkey heads. "I think… Now would be a good time to use that sword of yours…"
Ron shrugged. "I left it on the Jet."
"What?" Kim and Rufus gasped.
He shrugged again. "No big." And he held out his hand.
Xxx
Nakasumi San was reading his Toy catalogue magazine when he heard a slight noise in front of him. He glanced up just in time to see a Katana shaped sword whiz past him. He heard it crash through the wall of the Jet, and he stared after it for a moment.
Then he returned to his magazine.
Things like that were to be expected, when Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable were around.
Xxx
Kim and Rufus watched with fascination as the Lotus Blade flew from out of nowhere, and into his outstretched hand. She looked on with even more wonder, as she saw the Magical Blade suddenly morph into a large, metal shield.
"Get down." He ordered, and Kim silently obeyed.
She then saw why Ron had told her to get down.
The monkey heads on the left side of the room were high up on the wall, while the heads on the right side were down low. So if they could stay down, the flame from the above heads would shoot above them harmlessly, and, protected by the large shield, the flames to right would be blocked.
Rufus hopped inside Rons pocket, hoping for the best, while Ron ducked behind the shield, Kim following suit. It worked perfectly, and before they knew it, they were beyond the flaming monkey heads, and Kim looked at Ron admiringly.
"Well, look at Macho man with the sword." She smirked playfully.
"What can I say?" Ron swept away some of the hair in his eyes proudly. "I'm always here to protect the girl."
Kim punched him in the shoulder, and he recoiled.
"Ow!" He complained, rubbing the spot. "Is that what I get for coming up with the plan that saved our butts?"
"You can have a kiss after the mission." She smiled at him.
He grinned. "Well, I guess that'll do…" He pretended to be sad, as the Lotus Blade changed back into it's original Katana shape.
Kim rolled her eyes. "Don't make me punch you again."
"Okay, okay!" He shielded himself mockingly. "No need to get drastic, there!"
Kim laughed, and, slipping her hand into his, pulled him onwards.
After a few more moments of walking, they came to a fairly large room, and Kims instincts flared again. She stopped, and tried to stop her boyfriend from moving any farther, but it was too late. A tile on the floor gave way to Rons weight, and the ground of the room slowly parted, revealing a small pond full of hungry Crocodiles.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Ron held his hands up. "This doesn't make any sense! These Crocs must have been here for a long time, without any food! How could they possibly survive without any food-"
He was cut short, as a human skull bobbed up to the surface of the water.
"That question wasn't supposed to be answered…" He croaked, and yelped as the Crocodiles snapped their jaws at him.
"It's a good thing the Lotus Tribe didn't count on Hair-Dryers back then." Kim smiled to herself, as she pulled a pink Hair-Dryer out of her pocket. She hit a button on the device, and a Grapple ejected from the opening at the top.
"Kim!" She heard Ron cry, and it was then that she finally realized that the ground they were standing on…
Was rapidly giving away.
Kim didn't hesitate. She took a flying leap towards him, and, just as the last of the ground slid away, threw an arm around his waist, and fired the Hair-Dryer. It stuck on the other side of the room, and she hit the recoil button. She and Ron went flying, and the Crocodiles were cheated out of their dinner, as the two hit the ground safely, Ron still in Kims arms.
"Hmmm." Ron said slyly. "The guy in the girls arms. I could get used to this."
Kim snorted, and Ron fell to the ground. "Okay, then." He rubbed his head painfully. "I guess we'll keep it the traditional, 'Girl in guys arms', if you want."
Kim rolled her eyes, and helped him to his feet. Together, they walked into the final room.
As they walked into the giant, circular shaped room, Kim felt a weird feeling run through her. She fell to her knees, and was dimly aware that Ron was helping her to her feet. Suddenly, the weird feeling disappeared as fast as it had come, and she was standing again.
"What was that?" Ron asked her worriedly.
"I don't know…" She shook her head, and looked straight ahead.
She gasped.
There, on a large pedestal, was a silver Mace.
The head of the Mace itself was curved into sharp edges, gleaming in the light. The long, thin handle shone with Magic, just waiting to be brought back to life. Kim slowly walked up to it, and, with Ron closely behind her, closed her hands around the Mace.
She felt unbelievable power course through her veins, and was overcome with a feeling of fulfillment, as she held the Silver weapon above her head proudly. Ron and Rufus looked at the Mace in awe, as if waiting for something to happen.
And something happened indeed.
She brought the Mace to the ground, and as it touched, the floor beneath them shook with power, making both of them shake, but Kim stood her ground, with her eyes closed. When she opened them, she looked at Ron with wonder.
"Ron, I- I've never felt so powerful!" She exclaimed.
"And you should be."
But this voice was not Rons.
Lord Monkey Fist was standing behind them, grinning.
And he was holding a long, silver staff.
Hope you liked. I know it took me a lot longer than it usually does for me to update, but something was screwed up with my computer. Ah, well. All is good now, so no need to fret. R&R.
