AND SO…
Chapter 9: ConversationsMonkey Fist watched as his two foes materialized in the middle of the large clearing within the forest of the Simia.
'It won't be long now,' He thought to himself, grinning.

Kim and Ron, with Rufus in his pocket, appeared in a wide open clearing, in a large forest. Looking down, Ron saw a stone tablet, half buried in the ground from age. Wiping away the dust, he saw the three words in Latin.
Looking at it, Ron didn't really didn't know what to do, but felt his right arm, which was clutching the Lotus Blade quite tightly, slowly move towards the tablet, and felt it touch.
He also felt the earth tremble beneath him.
Tearing the Lotus Blade away from the tablet, he looked back at Kim in panic, and by the look on her face, she was just as confused. They both closed their eyes tight, and when the ground finally stopped shaking, opened them.
They didn't expect to see the gigantic, aged building in front of them.
Gaping, they both walked slowly towards the great temple, with Rufus staring at it from Rons pocket.
The temple itself had destroyed many trees in its awakening, and took up a surprisingly large portion of the forest. As the three stared onto it, it seemed to glow with a magical power. Ron took a step forward, and Kim followed, almost reluctantly. Together, Team Possible, Team Lotus, walked to their destiny.
All the while, the half man, half monkey grinned.
They were walking directly into the temple where he meditated, planned, and trained…
His hideout, the one which harbored the statue of the Simia.
As soon as the heroes walked inside, all three gasped. The temple…
Was just a gigantic hallway.
No Crocodile pits, no flame geysers, nothing. Just a long, wide corridor, and at the end, they could dimly see flames flickering on both sides of a large statue.
After almost five minutes of just walking, the three finally stepped up to the large statue, and saw it for what it was.
A giant monkey.
On the base of the statue, there were four spaces, each carved in the shape of a weapon, their weapons. After gazing at the stone monkey for a moment, Ron finally spoke up.
"It's… A monkey?" He said, his eyebrows raising.
"Well spotted, Mr. Stoppable." Came a familiar voice behind him, and suddenly, searing pain exploded inside his head. He stumbled off, clutching his head painfully.
"Ron!" Kim screamed, and Rufus jumped out of his friends pocket in fear, searching for the source of the threat, but finding nothing.
Suddenly, Ron was knocked back, and then knocked back again. He was getting painfully beaten, and he didn't even know from what.
And then, one last punch did it.
He felt a fist connect with his cheekbone, and he went sailing into the wall, hard. The impact of body against wall shook a small pile of rocks on a small ledge above him, which sent them falling down. One large rock, however, went on a course with Rons head, and scored a direct hit. It clonked him on the head, and he was sent unconscious.
Kim, terrified, stepped back, only to feel her head explode with pain, and after one blow, she was sent unconscious as well.
Rufus, during it all, was hiding in the shadows, purely terrified at this merciless opponent. He jumped when he heard the man call for him.
"Don't think I haven't forgotten about you, rodent!" Came the voice of Monkey Fist, and the surprise sent Rufus jumping, which, unfortunately, Monkey Fist saw. Before he could act, he felt darkness close around him, and tried ramming whatever was holding him prisoner, but even with the combined power of the Lotus Claws, he couldn't run through a box coated with hard brick. After one last try, he sat down, and whimpered, wondering for his friends.
"Oh, you don't worry about your friends, you pathetic little mole rat." He heard Monkey Fist spit, reading his thoughts. "Unless I am wrong, Mr. Stoppable is already dead, after that rock hit him on the head, and Miss. Possible…" Rufus could practically see him sneer. "Will die a most painful death."
And he laughed, leaving the mole rat to cry small, tiny tears.

Ron opened his eyes, and found himself lying down in a large, wide field. He stood up, and surveyed his surroundings, eyes wide.
The field seemed endless, and as far as the human eye could see, there were flowers, red, pink, and yellow. The air was a scent of peace and happiness, and Ron found himself feeling incredibly happy.
Before he remembered what had happened.
"Kim!" He screamed, looking around wildly. "Rufus!"
"Calm down, Stoppable."
Ron stopped cold. That voice… It couldn't be… He turned around, very slowly, and his heart leapt up in his mouth.
Drew Lipsky, formerly the famous Dr. Drakken, and his daughter, Shego were standing in front of him, holding hands.

Kim opened her eyes slowly, and looked around. After a brief check, she found that she was tied up on a large, stone pillar, rather tightly, when Monkey Fist came walking towards her, looking quite pleased with himself.
"Comfortable?" He asked smugly.
"Well, a pillow would go nice with being tied up." Kim growled, and her thoughts suddenly shifted to her boyfriend. "Where's Ron?" She asked him savagely.
"Well, if you really want to know…" The monkey man pointed towards the corner of the huge room.
Kim gasped.
Ron was lying on the floor, his head hanging low on his chest. He was bleeding in several locations, not to mention all the scratches on his body.
"You- You monster!" She screamed at him.
"Hm." He shrugged. "I do what I can."
"He's going to die!" She cried, tears welling up in her eyes. "Please!"
"Oh, I think he's beyond death. In fact, if you were to check his pulse…" He grinned evilly. "You wouldn't feel anything."
Kim stared daggers at the man. "Liar."
"Are you sure, Kim Possible? Because if he is alive, then I better dispose of him at once." He was clearly enjoying Kims pain.
Kim gritted her teeth, and tried to hold out her hand, to summon the Lotus Mace, but found it was bound too tightly to release.
"Uh, uh!" Fist grinned, shaking his head. "No escape for you. And in case you're wondering, I took away that handy little laser inside of your pocket, so you wont be able to blast away the ropes."
Kim clenched her fists, or at least tried too, with her hands inside the rope. "Just what do you plan to do, anyway?"
"Oh, I think you'll find out soon enough." He smiled, and, walking over to Ron, took the Lotus Blade away from him, and placed it inside its place on the large statue, and it suddenly glowed a bright blue. He then took Kims Mace, and did the same, achieving the same results. Finally, he walked over to the brick coated box, and, very quickly, lifted it and snatched the mole rat from underneath.
Rufus squirmed in Fists grip, but it was no use. Very carefully, Monkey Fist plucked the miniature Claws off of him, and dropped them in the spot where they belonged on the statue. He then put Rufus inside a small cage, now that he no longer could break through it, since he didn't have the Lotus Claws in his possession.
And lastly, he picked up his own Lotus Staff, and slowly made his way to the statue for the final time. Before he placed it in its spot, however, he looked at Kim with a look that sometimes haunted Kims dreams, whenever she thought back to it.
"And now, Kim Possible, witness the power, of the almighty… LOGAN!"
And with that, he placed the final key in its place on the statue.
Kims last thought, before the room exploded with a brilliant white light…
Was that she might never see the one she loved again.

Rons mouth hung as he stared at his former foe. After a few minutes of extreamly uncomfortable silence, Drew Lipsky spoke up.
"Welcome to Heaven, Ronald."
And the questions that he had been holding finally erupted from Rons brain.
"How is Kim and Rufus? Am I dead? Is there cheese in Heaven?"
Shego held up her hands in defence. "Whoa, whoa, Ron! Calm down!" She resisted the urge to chuckle at his look of confusion. "We'll try and anser all the questions you have, but we don't have much time."
"That's right." Drew nodded with his daughter. "In answer to your first question, Kim and your pet are…" He thought for a moment. "Not exactly in the best sitchuation."
"What do you mean?" Ron asked desperately.
"All we can tell you is that she needs your help, Ron." Drew said to him. "And at the moment, you are having a 'Near Death Experience,' so you are not dead." He said, reading Rons thoughts.
"But is this all you have to say to me, after two months?" He whined. "I get to communicate with you guys in the afterlife, and all you can say to me is, 'hi?"
"Well…" Shego shrugged. "Yeah."
"You see, Ron, here in Heaven, we see everything that goes on with the ones we care about, so we know pretty much everything that you have done in the past month."
Ron turned white. "E-Everything?" He stammered.
Drew smiled. "I'm glad to see that you used the present I gave to you responsibly."
"Dad said I had to look away." Shego smiled at Rons look, as he dropped his face into his hands.
"It's nothing to be ashamed of." Drew grinned at him. "You two were due." He almost laughed when Rons face turned the darkest shade of red humanly possible. "Oh, and I want you to meet my wife, Karen Lipsky."
This arose Rons interest to it's maximum level. He looked up, and saw a stunningly beautiful woman, with jet black eyes, and raven hair that flowed over her shoulders. She was entirely slim, and had silky, white skin. She smiled at Ron when she saw him.
"So you're the one who helped foil all my husbands plans for world domination. It's so nice to finally meet you."
"Um, you too, Mrs… Lipsky." He blushed in embarrassment, and she laughed cheerily.
"Drew here also told me that you had a…" She smiled at him. "Sitchuation, with your girlfriend."
Ron turned to face Drew, very slowly, and gave him a look, as if to say, "Do you have to tell everyone?" Drew shrugged, and didn't even bother to hide his smile.
"But you have to know that your loved one is in terrible danger." Karen turned serious. "And you are the only one who can save her, as well as your pet mole rat."
Ron nodded in understanding.
"When you get back, no matter what, stay with each other." She continued on. "Do not let yourselves split up, because at this time, you are going to have be with each other more than ever before. A great evil is about to unleash, and you three, Team Lotus, are the only ones to stop it."
He nodded again, suddenly feeling very confident. "Alright. I'm ready to go back now."
"Hey, Ron?" He turned to face Shego. "Tell Kim I said hi. And also tell her that I'm going to kick her butt when she gets up here."
Ron smiled. "I will, Shego." And he suddenly felt himself start to fade away, back to planet earth.
"Oh, and Stoppable?" He saw Drew look at him with a face of happiness. "There's an unlimited supply of cheese in Heaven."
Ron felt himself drooling, as the Lipsky family faded away.

Kim turned her head away from the explosion of light. When the blinding whiteness finally faded, she and Rufus slowly turned their heads in Monkey Fists direction.
And gasped in horror, as the man they once knew as Monkey Fist…
Became a hideous monster.
His body was still the same, but it was his face that frightened them the most. Fists eyes were now replaced with glowing, red orbs, and all the hair on his head shot upwards, thought there was no wind. His fingers were now long, hideous claws, and the skin colour was now a sickly gray.
His mouth curved into an inhuman sneer, as he stared at the auburn haired teenager. He slowly walked towards her, as she stared in wide-eyed horror, and when he reached her, he smiled the evilest smile Kim had ever, and would ever, see.
"Why, isn't it Kimberly Anne Possible! I've been just dying to see the descendant of the woman who helped seal me off." She shuddered madly, as the man, no, monster raked a long claw across her cheek softly. He suddenly backed off, and started laughing madly.
"Ah, it feels so good to be back!" He grinned widely. "After all this time, I can finally wreak vengeance upon the world that banished me in the first place!" He slowly turned his gaze towards the two heroes trapped in their bonds.
"And what better way to start, then to kill the heroes who sealed me?" His inhuman grin grew even wider.
"Yes. The great Logan will have his revenge! First, I will kill you, Kimberly Anne. Today, you will die a most terrible death." His snake like voice dripped with pure hatred, as he stared at her with those red orbs for eyes. "Your screams will echo within this temple, and the world will follow soon after."
He let lout a loud, maniacal laugh.
"Today… The world will fall, to the almighty LOGAN!"
And at that moment, the voice of a hero spoke. The voice of a man who, after so many troubles in life, would never break, no matter what.
"That's not going to happen."
Ron Stoppable stood proudly, his blond hair shining in the light of the temple, with the sacred Lotus Blade clutched tightly in his hand.
I hope you liked this chap, it's one of the longest I've ever written. Also, I'm going up north for seven days, so if you don't hear from me, that's why. Once again, if you have the time, R&R.
