AND SO…
Chapter 6: A visit
Lord Monkey Fist walked in his hidden temple, where he planned, trained, and meditated. Placing his Magic Staff aside, he sat down and sighed in slight frustration.
'So,' He thought, as he raised his genetically enhanced hands and feet in a mediating stance. 'Kim Possible has the Lotus Mace, andRon Stoppable already has The Lotus Blade… Quite interesting…" He then stood up, and quite gracefully, leaped up on top of an overhanging in the temple, and hung upside down with his feet stabling him.
'No matter. If all goes well, the rodent will not live to see the Lotus Claws…' He swung down from the over hanging, and landed silently in front of a large statue.
'And, if by luck he does survive my little visit, they will still not have any idea what they are up against.'
He smiled evilly as he looked at the statue before him, gazing at the four shapes in the base.
'Soon,' He grinned maniacly. 'Soon, those spaces will be filled, and he will be released.'
He reached out his hand, and the Lotus Staff came flying towards him. He grabbed it, and placed it in the fourth space.
It was a perfect fit.
'And nothing, not even Team Possible will stop us.'
He threw his head back, and let out a loud, evil laugh.
Xxx
Ron Stoppable brought his hands up to his face in frustration. He had been searching the web for over two hours, and had still not found anything else on the Lotus Tribe. The only thing he knew was the location of the Lotus Claws, and he, Kim, and Rufus were to head over there in about an hour. If this, Prophecy, was true, then the small little mole rat had a big task ahead.
But even though he had found nothing different, something in the back of his mind nagged at him. He had no idea what it was, but he felt it was something big, and this was the thought that kept pushing him. He sighed, and launched himself back into the internet.
That's why he jumped in surprise when he felt the soft hand on his shoulder.
"What're you doing?" Kim asked suspiciously, gazing at the computer screen.
"I donno, but I feel something." Ron leaned back in his chair, bringing his hands to the back of his neck. "These weapons, I feel a link to them, and I think there's something more to them than we think." He looked at her. "Does that make me weird?"
Kim smiled at him. "You've always been weird, and that's one of the things I like about you. But back on the subject here, if you think you're weird, then I am too, because when I hold that Mace, I feel something… Different."
Ron nodded in understanding. "I know what you mean." He then gazed at Rufus, sleeping soundly on his bed, and he sighed. "I feel bad, though. I mean, Rufus is just mole rat, and look what we're dragging him into?"
"Ron." Her voice turned serious. "Rufus is not just a mole rat. He's…" And she said something Ron had never heard before. "Family. And if he didn't want to help us, then he wouldn't."
Ron smiled at the care from his girlfriend, and she smiled back, pulling him into a warm hug. When they broke, Kim noticed something.
"Wait a minute…" She muttered, looking at Rons computer. "The last time I saw your computer, it was all slow and the colour was all black and white… What happened?"
"Well…" Ron smiled, looking at his practically mint condition computer. "Not all of the Naco royalties went to waste." Kim chuckled at the memory, however humiliating it was, and Ron smiled as well. "Yep." He said proudly. "I've really been taking care of this thing. If something were to happen to it-"
He was cut short as his bedroom wall exploded.
He and Kim jumped out of the way, and Rufus, who had been sleeping at the time, was sent sprawling off the bed from the force of the explosion. They were all unharmed, but Rons computer wasn't as lucky. Some of the debris from the trashed wall landed on top of it, crushing the piece of machinery.
Rons eye twitched, before he let out a loud yell.
"Oh, the irony! Why are thou so cruel!" He shouted, throwing his arms in the air, before turning his head towards his attacker, and wasn't too surprised when he saw his arch foe drop from the roof into his room.
"Huh…" He thought out loud. "I don't think he's ever done a surprise attack." He shrugged. "Ah, well. You try something new everyday, I guess." And he held out his right hand.
They heard many loud crashes, before the Lotus Blade zoomed into his hand. He then winced as he heard a loud thump, with the shattering of glass following soon after.
"Oops…" Ron muttered. "There goes moms China cabinet…"
"Enough!" Monkey Fist shouted in annoyance. "I didn't come here to fight, though if needed, I most defiantly will." An evil look formed in his eyes. I came here… For him." He looked at Rufus, who was shaking his head on the ground.
Ron jumped in front of his small friend. "No way!" He cried.
Fist sighed. "Then fight I shall." And, holding his Staff, he disappeared. At this, Ron sprung into action. He wasn't sure where Fist was, so he decided to hold his ground and wait for any signs of hidden movement.
Which is exactly what he saw.
Some of the debris from the wall suddenly moved by some sort of hidden force, and Ron threw a seemingly blind kick at the air above the debris, and smiled when he felt his foot impact with Fists stomach.
"You should learn to be more careful, Monkey Boy." He grinned down at his foe as the Staff fell out of his hand.
Fist glared at him and shifted his feet, tripping Ron. He grabbed the Staff off of the floor of the demolished room, and looked at Ron, sitting on the ground helplessly. Fist raised the Staff high into the air, and was about to bring the jagged tip of it into the young mans chest, when he suddenly felt a roaring pain in his left leg. He cried out and shook his leg, but Rufus held on tight, in protection of his friend.
What Kim and Ron didn't know was that he had been awake when they were talking about him, and had heard every word of their conversation.
He was family.
"Now, Rufus!" Kim exclaimed, running towards Monkey Fist. The mole rat got the hint and leaped off the mans leg at just the right time, as Kim brought her foot swinging to Fists chest. He was sent flying out the hole in the wall where he had entered, onto the front lawn beneath. Ron, recovering from the shock of having a jagged Staff about to plunge right threw him, walked up to the wall, glaring at his arch foe, with the Lotus Blade in hand.
"Busting up my computer is one thing, but you think you can take my mole rat?" He hissed angrily. "That's crossing the line, buddy."
Monkey Fist snarled at him, and took a leap up back to the hole in the bedroom wall.
By the time the Lotus Blade turned into a shield, it was too late.
BANG!
Fist went sprawling down to the ground, dazed. He suddenly heard a loud whooshing sound, and ducked, as the Lotus Mace came flying in over his head, and into Kims hand.
"You want Rufus…" She muttered, holding the Mace confidently. "You deal with us."
"Yeah!" Rufus squeaked, as he stood on top of Rons head.
Monkey Fist, knowing he was on the verge of losing this fight, gave one last effort.
As hard as he could, he hurled the jagged Staff in the naked mole rats direction.
The Staff seemed to move in slow motion. All were aware that the Staff was in perfect line with the mole rat, and Ron, too stunned to do anything but watch, felt utter hopelessness.
The girl who could do anything, however, had one last desperate idea.
With precise timing, she swung the Mace at the Staff.
Mere inches away from its target, the sacred Lotus Staff was stopped short by its counter part. As the Mace connected with the middle of the Staff, time seemed to stop.
As Kim, Ron, Rufus, and Monkey Fist all knew, the magical power of the Mace was strength. And if Kim swung that Mace with all her might, then the Staff was going for a long trip.
When time returned to its normal state, the Lotus Staff went sailing into the air, faster than humanly possible.
But Fist was ready.
As soon as the weapons had broke apart, he thrust out his hand. The Staff jerked in mid-air, urging to keep going, but Fist put all his concentration into his outstretched hand.
And then, something that no one expected happened.
Monkey Fists feet were lifted off the ground.
Surprised, Fist looked down, and thus broke the hold on his weapon. The Staff once again went sailing into the air, and he fell to the ground. Looking up with horror, he saw the Lotus Staff fly high into the air, and, moments later…
Saw it coming right back down.
He cried out and rolled to the side, as the pointed tip of the Staff plunged down into the ground where he had been sitting seconds before. Enraged, he picked it up, and turned to face the three standing in the room above.
"That's it!" He exclaimed, and tried to activate the Staff.
But something was wrong.
He wasn't turning invisible.
He tried again, and again, but to no avail. He looked up at his foes, confusion on his face.
"Fine." He growled. "Even if the rodent lives, you will still die."
Ron groaned. "Dude, will you plug it once in a while? I mean, the bad guys just never, shut up!"
Fist scowled. "You have no idea what you are up against. This is far bigger than anything you've ever faced before, and there is no possible chance that you will survive it."
"Look it up, Monkey man." Ron smiled confidently, wrapping his arm around his girlfriend tightly. "We are Team Possible, and... Team Lotus."
"Hmm…" Kim wondered aloud. "Team Lotus… I kind of like the sound of that."
"Whatever you are, you wont stand a chance." Fist glared at them, and with that, bounded off into the distance.
Team Lotus watched him go, and Kim turned to her boyfriend.
" Ron, I…" She began, tears in her eyes. "When he was standing above you with that Staff, I didn't know what to do…"
Ron shushed her, and brought his lips to hers. They both closed their eyes, silencing their worries. When they broke, Ron gazed at her lovingly before talking again.
"C'mon… We better leave before mom finds out…" But he was cut off by a loud screech.
"My China Cabinet!"
"Uh oh…" He muttered, and, despite herself, Kim laughed.
R&R, please and thank you (I've always wanted to use that line.)
