DISCLAIMER: The entire Kim Possible gang belongs to Disney. This story is written for pleasure.

To Cool: Sorry, but I got the whole story mapped out, and Drakken and Shego will not be in the sword.

AND SO… Chapter 5: Lotus Battle

There was silence as they all looked at Monkey Fist, who stared back. Suddenly, Ron spoke up.

"Aw, man! Why do the bad guys always have to ruin the moments?" He complained, throwing his arms up in the air.

Fist grinned manically. "Don't worry. I won't be here for long." His grin grew larger. "And neither will you."

"Yeah, that's what they all say, but it never comes true." Ron argued pointlessly.

"Always with the sass, hmm, Ron Stoppable?" Fists grin wavered slightly. "Ah, but you're forgetting, I have the Staff of the Lotus with me, and I plan to use it quite effectively."

"Uh huh, and you're forgetting that we have the Lotus Blade and Mace." Ron pointed to the majestic looking weapon in Kims hands.

"I see that, but do you have the advantage of stealth?" The half man, half monkey asked.

"Actually, our 'stealth,' is right behind you." Kim smiled slyly, and before Fist could react, a sharp pain bit into his leg, and he cried out in surprise, as the pink rodent scampered off towards Rons shoulder.

"Annoying little rat." Fist spat, but his evil grin returned. "I think he will die first."

Ron rolled his eyes. "Man, the threats never get old to you guys, huh?"

"Not at all." He smiled evilly, and suddenly…

He vanished.

"Say wha…?" Ron started to ask, but felt his feet give away to an unseen force, and he hit the ground painfully.

"Ron!" Kim cried, rushing to her boyfriends side, and Monkey Fist reappeared, laughing.

"Ah, yes!" He exclaimed. "I almost forgot about your new, 'relationship,' didn't I?"

Kim glared at him, but his smile only grew wider.

"And I heard what happened to that buffoon, Drakken…" He stopped as he saw Ron get up, his face filled with a new form of feeling.

"Drew was not a buffoon." He growled, gripping the Lotus Blade tightly in his hands.

Fists eyebrow rose. "Ah, it appears I've struck a nerve here! Have you made a bond with the idiot?"

Ron gritted his teeth. "Drew was twice the man you ever were, Monkey man. He could at least beat me in most cases, unlike you."

"Ron…" Kim tightened her grip on Rons shoulder, but he shook it off.

"He sacrificed himself, along with his daughter, to save millions of people, and that's a lot more than you've ever done."

Monkey Fist frowned, but held his confidence. "Yes, I suppose so, but wasn't he the one who launched the bomb? Acidentally?"

Ron snarled at him, but Kim held him from charging.

"Bring it, Monkey freak."

Monkey Fist smiled, and once again, he disappeared.

Rufus jumped off Rons shoulder just in time, as Ron, having no idea where his enemy was, felt a sharp hidden kick in his back, and slid across the ground. Monkey Fist reappeared, grinning from ear to ear.

"Guess you forgot about that little trick, didn't you?" He asked slyly.

"And I guess you forgot about this one!" A female voice behind him cried savegly, and with all her might, Kim kicked Fist in the back, sending him flying to the other side of the room.

Monkey Fist snarled at the redhead, and reached his hand out to retrieve the Lotus Staff, but found that it was gone. Confused, he looked up and saw…

The rodent, carrying his Staff!

Yes, Rufus, with his extremely powerful teeth, was able to lift the heavy Staff and bring it back to Kim proudly.

"Never count out the Stealth." Kim grinned.

"Stealth!" The mole rat repeated happily.

Enraged, Monkey Fist stood up and leaped at Kim and Rufus, and…

Came face to face with an large, metal shield.

"You…" Ron looked at his opponent on the ground. "Had that one coming."

The monkey man growled, and holding himself up with one genetically engineered hand, kicked the Staff out of Kims hands, high into the air. He jumped up and caught it, and was invisible before he even hit the ground.

"Uh oh…" Ron croaked, and felt himself get kicked in the side. Ron got back up, thinking that he would reappear to mock him, but Fist had apparently learned that lesson, and stayed hidden, dealing another blow to Ron.

Kim, during all this, was feeling hopeless. She looked down at her Lotus Weapon, wondering what to do with it, when Rufus suddenly spoke up.

"Strength!" He squeaked in that high voice of his.

And that was when it hit her.

In the legend, it said that the Mace was imbued with the power of strength, and the thought struck an idea.

She grinned, and brought the Mace down to the ground, hard.

Suddenly, the whole room seemed to shake. Rock and dust fell from the ceilings, and Ron and Monkey Fist stopped their fight to see what would happen.

They didn't expect the ground to split open.

A crack in the ground started from the Lotus Mace all the way to Monkey Fist, who just stood there in wide-eyed wonder. And when the crack stopped beneath his feet…

Is when he finally came back to reality.

There was an earsplitting roar, and the crack in the ground opened up, creating a large pit. Monkey Fist, at the last second, cried out and jumped out of the way as the ground where he had just been standing split open. When the rumbling finally ended, there a wide, gaping hole stretching across the room.

And then all was silent.

"Well, the Lotus Mace has more power than I thought." Fist looked at Kims weapon with slight admiration.

"Get used to it, cause I'm not done with it yet." Kim said, and with all her might, threw the Mace at him. He jumped out of the way, and when the Mace hit the ground, another earthquake began to erupt. This time, more dust and rock fell, and all over Monkey Fist. Fist shook his head, dizzy from all the human created seismic activity, but lunged towards the Mace.

But Kim was ready, and she held out her right hand.

Just as Monkey Fist had reached the Mace, it went flying to Kims hand, and Fist looked at her, completely enraged.

"Fine!" He exclaimed angrily. "If that's the way you want to do it, we can all use our weapons!" He vanished from the air.

Kim and Ron grinned to each other, and nodded.

They then began to launch their attack on the dust covered Monkey Fist.

Surprised, Fist cried out, and hit the ground as Ron, his Mystical Monkey Power kicking in, launched his foot square in the mans chest, and sent him sprawling to the ground. Fist got up, and felt that sharp pain again, as Rufus bit him in the leg, and therefore, he wasn't ready for the uppercut in the face by Kim.

Pain in almost every body part he had, he got up. "How is it you can see me even though I have the Staff of the Lotus?"

"Dude, if you really wanna know…" He grinned. "Take a shower."

Confused, Fist looked himself over…

And saw all the dust.

"Argh!" He exclaimed, and he backed away from them. "You win this time, Kim Possible, but next time, you wont be so lucky." He looked at them evilly, and leaped on to the wall, propelling himself up onto the ceiling of the temple, and suddenly, a beam of black light erupted from the tip of the staff, and a hole in the roof blew open. He took one last glance at them, and leaped into the night sky.

"Huh…" Ron wondered out loud. "I wonder if our weapons can do that…"

Kim sighed, and put a hand on his shoulder. "C'mon, Ron. Lets go home."

Ron looked at her, and saw that she was tired. He wrapped an arm around her, and silently led her into the room where the Crocodiles lay.

And if there were to be someone inside that room, they would hear a small conversation between the tired couple.

"So… How about that kiss?"

He was cut off by a punch in the arm.

"Ow!"

From now on, I'm gonna try and update every one or two days, so that's my plan. Anyway, R&R.
