EPISODE 2: PRELUDE FROM THE PAST.
Japan, XVI century. Period "MUROMACHI".
The smell of death bodies filled the place, a few hours ago that was one of the most powerful armies of the region, but now, most of its men lie without life on the bloodstained mud, that was an especially cold morning and the mist covered all when the sound of quick steps could be heard, a soldier with his sword in one hand, ran hardly between the bodies of his fallen comrades, his broken and dirty armor clanked at any move of his body when suddenly one something grabbed his left leg making him fall, as soon as he touched the ground frantically he looked for what had held him and just when he was about to deliver a blow with his sword he could see another of his surviving companions, then, this quickly placed his right hand on his mouth.
"# Ssssssssshhhh, be quite, and don't move! #" - he murmured him as he pointed with his other hand to a group a black armored men who was patrolling a few feet from them. For a few seconds the group of black soldiers gave a sight towards the direction where they were but after a while they continued their way losing themselves among the mist. Both soldiers remained immobile for several minutes until they were sure that they had left.
"# That was so close! #" - Finally the older soldier said as he removed his hand of the younger one face. - #" You must be more careful if you want keep yourself alive "# - he said.
" # What was that sir? # " - The younger asked completely in shock as both of them slowly raised themselves from the mud -"# I don't understand what happened # ".
" # What you don't understand? #" - The older one hardly replied to the younger that now was watching the floor –"# WE WERE DEFEATED STUPID! # " - He said with his voice full of frustration.
" # I'm sorry my lord! # "- The young one said at the same time he downed one knee on the ground -#" I j – just …#"
"# Trying to tell that you can't understand how they could defeated us so easily"# - the older sadly said while observed the bloody work before him - #"Neither do I, my young man, but obviously we'll need help if we really want to destroy this evil that had taken control of our land#".
" # My lord, maybe we need to call more allies, make a larger army and …#"
" # No, my young man, we need something more that simple soldiers to fight this, we also need, warriors, warriors that can fight against magic and demons, and win, and I've heard about some people that can do it in the south, a priestess, a half demon, a monk and a monsters hunter, yes, we'll need them, SOLDIER! #" - The samurai commanded, now full of determination.
" # YES, MY LORD! #" - he responded Instantly with firm voice.
"# I'LL GO TO GET MORE ALLIES, YOU GO AND FIND MORE SURVIVERS, TAKE THEM TO THE PALACE, AND WHEN YOU FINISH THAT, YOU WILL TRAVEL TO THE SOUTH TO HIRED AND BRING THOSE WARRIORS! #".
"# YES, MY LORD! #" - As soon as he confirmed that orders, the young quickly ran leaving a very pensive samurai.
"# Yes, I hope it won't be too late #" -said to himself as he began his own way.

Middletown, present day.
It was another like another summer evening in the Mall, lots of teens flirting with their friends, shopping, playing in the arcades, but there was a red headed one that many considered her a hero, she was Kim Possible, famous crime fighter and of many other wacko and high-tech villains, but, like many others girls that day, she only has interest in another kind of fight, one that any men in the planet can't understand.
"BONNIE THAT WAS MINE!"
That's right, the carnage of an special sale in Club Banana.
"REALLY! I'M SOOOOOOO SORRY………BUT I THINK THAT IT WILL LOOK MUCH BETTER ON ME THAN ON YOU, KIMMIE!" – Bonnie said as both of them pulled in opposite directions trying to see who will get the pray of the day, the last dark blue top "Club Banana's special edition" that remains in the store. - "I don't think so!" – Kim said.
"MINE!" – Bonnie said pulling.
"NOT, MINE!" – Kim replied pulling stronger.
"MINE!" – Bonnie again.
"I'VE SAID THAT MINE!" – Yes, that's the spirit girls!.
"Hey! look, is Brad Pit!" – Kim said.
"Where!" - Then Bonnie turned her head.
"You fall, sucker!" – that was the only Kim need to finally snatch the top from Bonnie's. – " HA! I can't believe that you fell soooooooo easily! " – And with and triumphant smile Kim ran towards the cashier living a very angry Bonnie behind kicking the floor.
"Good move friend" – said Monique sharing the smile with her friend as she marked the price with the code lector – "How you will pay, cash or card?"
"Cash Mon, yea, I think that I learned that of Ron" – Kim replied as she handed her the money.
"Yes, I've supposed it, talking about distractions, he is a pro" – the dark skinned teen said to her friend. – "Oh! Kim, can you wait for me a moment, my turn almost finish and I'd like you could come with me to lunch".
"Sure Mon! I'll be out"
"Cool! Just hold a second". – And with that Kim out to wait Monique.
Later in the Food Court. Both youths enjoyed the typical chat about fashion and boys while they ate, when suddenly Monique made "the question".
"Sooooo, Kim, what about Ron?"
"Who? Ron?" – that took her by surprise making her blink her green eyes.
"Yea! Ron, blond, brown eyes, freckled face, goofy smile, mole rat in his pocket…..you know, Ron" – said as she put another fried in her mouth - "What about him?".
"The same that the last time you asked" – she said looking sadly her food – "I don't know much, just that he still in that school in Japan".
"Just that?" – Monique replied now looking her with more curiosity and some concern in her voice – "I can't believe that in almost three months he didn't send an IM or a call or something!"
"No no, he IM me at least once a week" – Kim quickly replied shaking her hands before her but almost immediately, she stared at her food again with the same sadness of before – "It's just……..".
"Just what?" – Monique continued pushing her to say what worried her.
"I don't know, every time he says that he's ok, having good time, taking special lessons and stuffs like those" – said she and then she send a sight at the couple sat next to them – "But nothing more, he don't tell me what exactly he is doing, when he'll back, even where exactly is the place he's".
Then Monique realized the way Kim watched the teens of the other booth, she notices a mix of sadness and nostalgia even a little of envy in Kim's eyes.
"You miss him, don't you" – Monique softly said as she put one hand over Kim's shoulder making her face to her.
"Yes Mon" – Kim nodded to her friend – "So much" – in that moment Kim realized how much really missed him.
"So you finally are admitting you like him" – Monique said now with an smile in her face arching an eyebrow.
"Yes…NO…I mean, OF COURSE NOT MONIQUE!" – Kim quickly responded turning her face redder as her own hair as she frantically waved her hands denying the last comment. – "We're just best friends, nothing more" – replied shyly – "I think"
"That 'I think' what means?" – That moment the lack was the only Monique needed to finally pass her defenses.
"Honesty… I'm not sure, I mean, we've been best friends for so long that think about something more between us is…how to say it…scare" –she finally said as she observed the table and played nervously with her hands. – "I can't believe you could make me said that".
"And tell me, when did you realize that 'maybe' you like him? "
" After the moodulator stitch, when finally I'd been free of that stuff, I've begun to think from where were coming all those feelings towards him, why I fell for him and not other like Josh or any other."
"And you realized that that wasn't be like any other crush before, like with Josh, that those feelings were more honest and deeper, that you like him not because he's good looking or anything else, you like him for who he is and not for what he is, right?" – Kim nodded – "And that scare you girl?"
"Yes" – Kim said now more nervous than before.
"Why, I think that is good that finally you could find the boy of your dreams" – Monique said crossing their arms – "I don't understand why that scare you"
" Because, I don't know if he feels the same, that's why!"
"You haven't told him yet, right" - Kim just shook her head – "Friend, I think that you must tell him what you feel as soon as you can" – said firmly pointing towards her – "Before some body else do it first".
"What , 'before some one else do it first' " – that words hit quickly inside Kim's mind – "What do you mean with that Monique?" – Kim yelled as she hit loudly with both hands on the table. – "Is there any other girl trying to steal MY RON?"
"NO, NO, OF CURSE NOT!" – Monique responded quickly holding her hands up trying to calm down the red headed girl front of her – "Nobody is so stupid to try to steal something from you (especially when that is a sentence to visit an hospital)"- Monique thought, she's never Known how much possessive and jealous could be Kim, but now, she knew it.
Just before Kim could reply her any other thing, the familiar notes of the Kimmunicator change Kim's attention from her girl friend to the young Afro-American boy in the screen of the little device.
"WHAT WADE!!!" – Kim asked dryly to the young boy.
"I think that somebody is tweaked?" – Calmly Wade said looking to his friend.
"I'm sorry Wade" – Kim answered now with her usual way to talk – " What's the stitch?"
"Oh nothing in particular, just to tell you that I've received a Ron's e-mail" – Wade said, that words instantly light up Kim's face.
"You asked him to tell you when Ron sends you an e-mail?" – Monique told with a joyful expression on her face.
"Oh, shut up Mon!" – with that last comment Kim began to read the mail in the screen, as she read it a big smile appeared in her face.
"And so, what says our lost friend?".
"He'll back" – first said quietly – "HE WILL BE BACK THIS WEEKEND!" - she continued with a voice full of joy.
"At last, well, I can see that you'll have your chance to tell him sooner than you believed".
"You know Monique, you're right, I must tell him!" – Kim said showing the same determination she's in her missions – "If I can fight and defeat all those crazy guys, I can do this!" – she assured more to herself than to Monique – "after all, I can do anything".
"That's the way, oh, Kim, this could sound weird, but, if Ron has just sent this e-mail, that doesn't mean he is wake up at 5 or 6 of the morning in Japan?" – Monique was right, was a very unusual hour to send an e-mail, especially for Ron.
"You're right, well, knowing Ron, I no wonder he was playing video games all night".
"Yea, we're talking of Ron, what else he could be doing at that hour".

"#SORRY SENSEI! #" – Ron said while he ran into the school's gardens where Master Sensei was waiting for him. Were 4 of the morning, and still was dark, he was wearing the mission clothes he always use; the only different was he also was wearing a gray jacket. – "#I hope don't be late Sensei#" – Ron apologized himself with a reverence to the old martial artist.
"#No Ron, you are not late at all#" - the old man said to the young at the same time he put his hands over Ron's shoulders -"#Finally, we could see the results of all these months of hard work and training#".
"# I just hope won't screw it up #" - Ron said with concern in his voice and nervous in his eyes.
"# Don't worry, you'll do it fine, well, no more talk, LET'S THE FINAL TEST BEGINS! #" - Those words was the signal that every body expected, as soon as Master Sensei finished of pronounce them, several students and teachers of the school appeared from the shadows, some of them running and others jumping over the roofs of the buildings to land gracefully next them while others did it from the nothing among clouds of smoke until finally three dozens of highly trained Ninjas surrounded Ron and Master Sensei completely.
"# ALL OF YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO, SO, GO! #" - After heard the words of his master all the Ninjas despaired as fast as they appeared, all under the expecting Ron's look. - "# Come on, Ron-san, it's time to see if you got the skills to accomplish with your destiny #" - and then an strong blow of wind hit them and the sound of blades cutting the air could be heard, then Ron realized where that sound comes from saw how an helicopter passed flying over their heads and then landed a few yards from.
"I have the feeling that this will be a looooong day!" – Ron murmured to himself as he ran towards the now open helicopter's doors.
