"BLADES OF POWER"
EPISODE 5: A RED SHINE.
"Shadows from the past and the future will arise with a red and blue shine"
Ron found himself again walking alone in the mist with those words resonating in his mind.
"The twin swords will wake in the hands of their new masters, first, the Lotus in the tomorrow and later the Fang in the yesterday"Suddenly Ron realized he was seizing the Lotus Blade in his right hand when a faraway red shine grabbed his attention, full of curiosity, he walked into the source of that light, after a few minutes of walk he reached to what it looks like the edge of a circular pond, it hasn't very large, like around 10 or 12 yards of diameter and in the middle there was a huge rock, but not only that, there, on the top of the rock was a sword, a sword which was nailed to the rock, while he examined it walking around, he noticed one thing, the sword hadn't its grip.
"To awake the red blade, an unbreakable seal will have to be brake, six blades of power gathered they will should"
Then a radiant star of six picks appeared over the water's surface leaving the rock and the blade just in the center.
"Live and death, its soul will release"
Suddenly, two light's pillars appeared in opposed corners of the star.
"Destruction and protection, its power will be free"
And then another two pillars appeared again in opposed corners.
"And twice ITS sister, the final piece will return"
Immediately after heard those last words, the Lotus Blade started to shake wildly, at the same time, a blue shiny glow appeared around it, Ron tried to hold it using both hands but the intensity of the movement became stronger at every moment until, finally, the sword released itself of Ron's, astonished, he just could see how the sword left shot by the air and how it reached its maximum shine in middle air, forcing him to close his eyes shielding them with his right arm.
Then, after a few moments, he slowly removed his arm to see what was happen, at first he could not see anything because the initial intense flash of light was blind him, for a few moments he just could see blurs and sparks but after blink a couple of times, his sight improved allowing him see the Lotus Blade at his feet, then, carefully he proceeded to pick it up but something more grabbed his attention, as soon as he handed the Blade he changed his attention towards the other blade on the rock but the only he could see was the rock, the sword's gone.
"What the hell?" - he said and puzzled searched carefully around him with his eyes trying to find the now missed blade - "Something is very sick and wrong here" - then a maniac laugh reached his ears - "Shit, not again" - he nervously whispered as he took a defensive stance handing the Lotus Blade with both hands before him in a classic sword defensive position as he opened lightly his legs keeping vertically his body (like a classical kendo's stance), he knew that laugh, he knew who was the owner of that creepy and insane sound, but this time, Ron decided to keep his actual position instead of try foolishly to find Monkey Fist - "COME ON MONTY, THIS TIME I'M READY FOR YOU!" - he challenged him hoping this time don't fall in his game.
"#It seems that you're ready for him, but, are you ready for me, Monkey Master?"# - Then a new voice joined at the laugh which immediately began to fade, then the sound of something splashing in the water forced Ron to see towards the rock behind him, as soon as he turned his hands and legs were held quickly by a series of tentacles that but well they seemed roots impeding him any movement, with such force that he dropped the Lotus Blade.
"#Ungh! … Who … are… you…?"# - he asked after see his captor, he saw what it seems a man wearing a baboon's white skin standing on the top of the rock and where he would should has his feet he had the undulant tentacles that were holding him.
"# I'm the one who will give him the tools to destroy you, and then, he will help me to kill them #" - then with a gesture he pointed him to watch to his feet, there, horrified, Ron could see several lifeless bodies floating in the water, he clearly could see the corpses of two young women and two young men besides the bodies of a little boy, which strangely had dog's legs and a tail, and a small animal like a cat - "# You see, even them couldn't do anything against us #" - he said as he left escape a laugh full of satisfaction.
When Ron saw that scene and heard the cold laugh of that man, his fear was substituted for an intense feeling of rage – "You little bastard, # how do you dare to do that to others! #" – He shouted while he tried to release himself of his ties, when Naraku saw that immediately increased the force of the restrictions making him scream in pain in the process.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHH!" - BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP!
BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP!
Gasping, he woke up in his plane's seat when heard the familiar sound of an incoming call from his pant's pocket.
BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP!
"That was different!" – Ron said to himself as he dried the sweat of his forehead with his left hand and with his right took the little device of his pocket and then hit the answer button. – "What's up, Wade" – he greeted to his young friend who appeared in the little screen of his "Ronmunicator", the device looked exactly the same of Kim's with the exception that Ron's was red instead of blue.
"Hi Ron, how about your flight?" – Wade casually asked him as he slurp his soda.
"Boring and long, Wade" – he responded with annoying in his voice and rolling his eyes.
"You know I could get you a faster trip to U.S., Ron, maybe in that new supersonic fighter that…".
"Wade, we already talked about that, I really appreciate what you offered me, but, since the favor I made Kim waste just to get some LeGoop, I decided don't ask for any, except for missions (more for Kim's angry face)".
"Yea…" – Wade said a little disappointed – "But It could be cool" – he continued with an evil grin.
"Yea…." – Ron responded with a dreamily look - "Whatever, but, I suppose you didn't call just to ask me how is going my flight, right Wade".
"You're right, I've called for three reasons, first, I've already have the translation of the data you sent me and I'm downloading it right now to your communicator" – he said while typed in his keyboard – "although I didn't read it all it seems very interesting".
"Yea, I've supposed you'll liked it, what about the other data I asked you"
"That's the second, about MF, It's strange, nobody had spot him since your last encounter with him six months ago, also, nobody had reported any robbery of ancient objects related with monkeys or magic, except for the missing of an old grip from a private collection in NY three months ago, that was a couple of days before you leave to Japan".
"A grip?" – Ron asked puzzled and inexplicably interested in that.
"Yea an old Japanese sword's grip, but it doesn't have any apparent connection with monkeys, even less with magic, well at least according with the records I have access" – Wade responded seeing Ron's sudden interest about it in his eyes, so after hit some keys of his computer his image was substituted by a photo of the object in question, it looked very similar at the grip of the Lotus Blade, but this was black colored – "The NYPD's file says that the grip belonged to Donald Trump's private collection, all the investigations suggest that was a lonely thief, very professional, no clues, no digital prints…". – Ron heard carefully all what Wade was telling him while he studied the grip in the screen, not just the similitude between the Lotus Blade's grip and this called his attention, there was something odd about that grip but he didn't know what – "except for two things, a hair".
"Monkey's?" – gingerly he asked after Wade finished and saw how the picture shifted to a secondary window in a corner of the screen and how Wade's image appears again filling the screen to responded him.
"Nope, a woman's hair, that and that in some way she melted the security's cameras and the glass of the building for which she enter and left". - Wade concluded with a triumphant smile.
"Professional, lonely, woman, can melt things, sounds like Shego's profile"
"Correct, you're getting good for this Ron".
"Naahhh, if after all this time of battle her I can't recognize her job, then, I'm a complete dumb, at least didn't was Monkey Fist, but…, why they didn't call us if they knew it was Shego, and more important, why she just robbed that, there must to be more valuable things there, also, Draken usually only send her to steal technology or money to finance his plots, not art or ancient objects, even if it's for sell them"
"Definitively you're becoming good for this Ron!" - Wade remarked again now rising a eyebrow and smirking to his friend before continue - "well for the first, Trump decided that it wasn't necessary to call Team Possible 'cause for him, it was the less valuable piece of his collection, also all was covered for the insurance, so he didn't see the need of recover it".
"A practical man, no wonder why he is so rich" – Ron commented – "But something is weird about this" – he continued while he rubbed his eyes.
"Yea, if they were planning something, we already know it, maybe Shego did it for fun or somebody hired her to stole it, also, nobody has heard about Shego or Draken since then" - then Wade saw how Ron continued rubbing his eyes - Are you OK Ron?" - he asked him with some concern in his voice.
"I'm fine, I'm just… a bit tired" – he responded with a raspy and tired tone of voice as he removed his fingers of his face.
"You don't look well, Ron" – then Wade typed a few keys activating the scanning system of the device sending a blue light that scanned Ron's body, then after a few seconds he received the results in his screen – "It seems you're under high levels of stress, you still sleeping bad, isn't it?"
"Yes, Wade" – he responded absently putting his head against the back of the seat – "I still having these freaking and weird dreams almost every night, even, sometimes when I take naps".
"I still think you must told Kim about…"
"Wade…" – he interrupted him – "…you know I could not tell Kim about it, that just would make her worry, she has enough problems to deal with mines too".
"Well, at least you told me before your little "field trip" to Japan"
"Well, I had to tell somebody where and why I've gone there" – Ron smirked as he said that. – "And honestly, I could not chose a better one, thanks".
"For?"
"For keep the secret and help me buddy, I really appreciate it"
"Whenever you need it Ron, whenever" – Wade responded returning the smirk to his friend, Wade was habituated to keep certain secrets that Kim and Ron told him, but this secret was something really big, the secret of Yamanochi, the Lotus Blade and his dreams, stuffs that even Kim don't know and he decided don't fail his trust and help him in whatever Ron need and he can.
"Well, that cover two points, which is the third, I don't remember ask you for something else" – Ron said with curiosity as he rose his head of the seat.
"Oh, well it's a surprise I have for you, you can call it a bonus" – Wade responded with a huge smile in his face.
"What is it Wade?" – Ron asked rising an eyebrow.
"I'll tell you with more details when you be in home, but, will said that is something that will be very useful for you when you fight Monkey Fist, I'm pretty sure that it should already have arrived at your house this morning ".
"What is it, what is it!" – Ron asked jumping in his seat like a little kid that wants to know what Santa bring him for Christmas.
"No Ron, not until you get home…….…no Ron I won't tell you even if you try Kim's puppy face, besides, your puppy face is ridiculous"
"Uuuugh, fine!" - Ron said puckering the frown at the same time he crossed his arms (yea guys, you guess right, Ron still been a kid).
"Good, see you soon, Wade out"
"(sighing) cya Wade, and thanks" - then Wade images despaired and was substituted by a monogram with the initials "RS", then, after a few seconds Ron shut down the device and placed back in his pocket, then Ron returned his head back on the seat and changed his expression for a deeply though one - "Shego, why you did it, why?" – he murmured to himself and fell sleep again.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"LET ME OUT OF HERE YOU FREAKS!" – Shego shouted while she sent another blow with her ignited hands to the barrier of energy that keeps her inside of the little chamber that has been conditioned like a little room with a little bed in the bottom and a candle to provide some light at the place, she had been trying for several hours to brake the invisible wall but every time she hit it her frustration grew more and more reaching the point of desperation – "ARE YOU DEAF, LET ME Out of here… please…let me out… I want to go home… for sake of god… I just want go home……p-p-please" – then the green glow of Shego's hands fade and trembling she fell over her knees as several tears fell from her green eyes, her once demanding and challenging voice cracked sobbing like a little girl begging for help as she watched the ground – "just go home".
"I never believe presence the day of see the mighty Shego broke like a little girl, (sigh) I have to say that that disappoints me…but…not too much" – then from the shades at the other side of the barrier the voice of Monkey Fist stole a gasp of Shego's mouth as he stepped into the shaking light of the candle with both hands in his back and an inexpressive semblance in his face – " But that is good".
"How can you say is good what are you doing to me?" – she said softly – "HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT!" – then suddenly she stormed towards him but immediately was sent backwards when she hit the wall, then, after a few moments, slowly she stood up herself as she sent him a look full of rage – "How do you dare to kidnap me and drag me here?" – she hissed now recovering her composure.
"I though we were talked about this before Shego, I need you to achieve my objectives" – he responded.
"AND FOR THAT YOU HAVE TO DO THIS, you could ask you know" – then Monkey Fist turned and slowly began to walk towards the shades – "DON'T GIVE ME THE BACK MONTY AND ANSWER TO ME!" – but he didn't and then despaired into the shadows – "MONTY!……MONKEY FIST!".
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Monkey Fist just could heard the weak echo of the last cry that Shego shouted to him when he left again the shadows and he enter to a huge chamber fill of mist, then after give a few steps into it he stopped and pensive looked towards the rocky ceiling.
"# She is strong Monkey Fist #" - then Naraku's voice grabbed his attention and slowly he turned his face to watch the demon who appeared stood at his right between the fog. - "# Even with the help of the Shikon's shard is hard to keep her under control for long time periods #".
"# Yes, I know #" - Monkey Fist responded and then again he directed his attention to the ceiling - "# It's because her powers, they give her high levels of stamina, besides, her body heal faster than in a normal person, that give her some resistance to the influence of the Shikon shard, but she has begun to lose, soon, we'll have full control over her #"
"# I agree, she is very useful and thanks to her help we are closer than ever of get what we want, you, the power you always desire and I, the Shikon Shard finally complete in my hands and fully complete my revenge #".
"# Yes, and now, all what we need to do is bring them here #" - then with a gesture of his hand, using his Mystic Monkey Power, Monkey Fist created a blow of wind vanishing the steam that surrounded the place revealing in the center of the chamber a pond of water with a huge rock in its center and a red blade nailed at it - "# Yes, soon we'll get what we want and then, nobody could stop us #" - then a dark smile crossed Monkey Fist's face while the red shine of the incomplete sword was reflected in his eyes.

Kaede, the one eyed old resident priestess of the village was very busy picking up medicinal grasses in the nearly fields next to the old and sacred tree where once Inuyasha slept by 50 years, like usually, she was wearing his white and red clothes and her short and grayed hair was tied in a single pony tale, the marks of her age and hard live were present in any single corner of her face joint a great amount of knowledge and wisdom accumulated by several decades in her only eye, then the soft sound of someone walking behind her grabbed her attention and slowly she turned her face to see who was at her back.
"# Sister #" – calmly she said when realized who was stood behind her.
"# Kaede, sometime without see us #" – responded the long black haired young woman who was wearing the same white and red clothes that Kaede as she observed how her "little sister" slowly stood up after dropped some grasses inside the basket she had in her back – "# How has been the age lately with you, sister #" – she taunted her while she gave some steps towards her hanging a bow in her right hand.
"# Please Kikyo, just because you look younger than me doesn't mean you are #" – Kaede responded her smirking and sadly remembering how the person before her just was the shadow of what her sister had been once – "# Why are you here sister, I suppose you didn't come just to make a social visit #"
"# Come on, just because I'm a living cadaver doesn't mean I can ask how are my sister, but you are right, I'm searching Inuyasha but it seems he isn't here #" – offered as she took seat next the tree where she was seal Inuyasha so many years ago.
"# Inuyasha, no, he's not here, why are you looking for him, don't tell me you came here to try to drag him with you to the land of the deaths again #" – Kaede suspiciously asked her as she walked closer to her.
"# I'll lie you if I say you that that idea hasn't crossed by my mind recently, but no, not now, I came to ask him something #".
"# Ask him something, don't tell me that is something related with the strange energy that I felt a few days ago #" – Kaede said with his only eye wide.
"# I see that you felt it too, well, like you said, a few days ago a great amount of power that came from the north could be felt by me and I came here to know if Inuyasha has seen or heard about Naraku recently #".
"# Well, respect Naraku I think I can answer you that, no, we haven't knew nothing about Naraku for several weeks and that's why Inuyasha and the others aren't here, they went to try find where he is now…you don't think that Naraku has something to do with that, do you! #"
"# I'm not sure, is the only possible explanation due to his sudden disappearance…I have to corroborate it #" – then without say nothing more Kikyo stood up and began to head to the forest.
"# Kikyo, where are you going? #" - Kaede asked while observed carefully her sister.
"# North, tell Inuyasha what we've talked about and that I'll be waiting for him! #" – Kikyo responded without see her as a group of Soul Skimmers appeared and began to fly around her, then, finally they despaired in the shades of the forest.

"KIM, RON'S PARENTS ARE ALREADY HERE!"
"YES MOM, THANKS!" – Kim responded from his room as she was giving the last touches at her outfit before go to the airport, she was so excited when Ron's folks accepted bring her with them to pick up Ron that she passed almost all the morning trying to figure what to use, so after drop practically all her wardrobe on the floor and her bed she decided to use the dark blue top that she got from Bonnie's hands, white pants and dark blue shoes.
"OK Kim, if Ron doesn't notice you with this I don't know what will do" – she whispered with an smile in her face while she gave a last look at her clothes in the mirror, then, once she was satisfied with what she saw, she proceed to exit of her room, but, as soon she opened the door…….
"Attention, attention Midletown!" - "We have detected cooties in the area, repeat, we have detected cooties in the area!"- "And that just means one thing!" – "That Kim's got a booooyyyyfriend!" – "ooooooooorrr, that she's going to catch one!" – "poooooor guy!".
"TWEEEEEEEEEBS!" – oh yea, the tweebs (I love that little demons) received her with their little speech and a megaphone, I have to say that Kim didn't need a megaphone when she said the last one.
"Aaaaaaaaaahh, wehavetogonow!" – both said at the same time and jetted to their room when saw the face of their sister (sounds of chains, locks and hydraulic systems) (a/n: I pictured her face sooooo funny that I can't described it so I leave that to your imagination).
"YOU LITTLE MONSTERS, I'LL ALLOW YOU TO LIVE A LITTLE MORE JUST BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO NOW, BUT WHEN I RETURN, YOU WILL SUFFER SLOWLY AND PAINFULLY BEFORE I'LL SKIN YOU UNTIL DIE!" - and after said those sweet and lovely words she stormed towards the hall.
The Possibles and Stoppables parents observed with curiosity at the young red headed girl who was cursing among teeth while she lowered the stairways and how once she was front of them she left escape a soft sigh.
"Are you OK Kimmie-cub" – her father asked her arching an eyebrow – "And what was all that upstairs?.
"Hum, oh that, were the tweebs and one of their stupid ideas"
"Oh that, I'll talk with them later" – her mother offered – "But now I think you must go now"
"Yea, before we arrive late at the airport" – Mr. Stoppable said smiling.
"You're right, besides, have passed three months since we saw Ron and I am anxious of see him" – Mrs. Stoppable agreed with a huge smile – "Come on Kimmie we better hurry" – and then they headed to the exit.
"OK, bye mom, bye dad see you later" – she said and then followed the Stoppables.
"Bye Kimmie and greets Ron on our behalf!"
"I'll do, bye" – and then she closed the door.
"Did you see Kim's outfit?" – Mr. Possible said.
"Yes, what about?"
"Not, nothing, it's just like she was wearing as……"
"As if she will go to see her boyfriend, yes, I see it" – Mrs. Possible said with an smile on her face.
"Yea, that's it! … Wait a minute, you know something I don't, right" – Mr. Possible said sending a suspicious glance to his wife.
"Maybe" – she responded and immediately headed upstairs – "JIM, TIM, WE HAVE TO TALK, NOW!".
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ron was patiently waiting to that the personnel of the airport finished revising his documentation and baggage before abandoning the customs and just after check he didn't has any illegal or suspicious article they proceeded to left him go.
"Well mister Stoppable, it's seems all is in order" – a guard told him – "You are free to go, welcome back to U.S." – finalized as he handed back his passport and documentation to him as other guard finished of check his baggage.
"Thank you sir" – then Ron pick his bags up and slowly directed to the exit.
"Err, mister Stoppable!"
"Yes?" – Ron stopped briefly turning his face to the guard.
"About your souvenir?" – the guard asked carefully as he pointed to the long cylindrical case that Ron had in his back.
"There is any problem, if there is any I can…?" – Ron asked casually.
"No, there isn't, I just want to tell you that I've never seen before that someone bring such kind of souvenir from Japan".
"Oh, that, is just a trinket, a simple copy".
"Well I have to tell that is a beautiful trinket you have there, I've never seen a sword like that before, even if it is a simple copy, its blue color is just unique".
"Thank you, well I have to go now, cya!" – Then Ron began to walk again towards the waiting hall when was stopped a last time for the guard.
"Ah, sir, just one more thing!"
"Yes?"
"You look very tired, maybe you must go to bed early today, I know how the jetlag could affect the people."
"Thank you, I'll try to follow your advice" – Ron responded – ' I'll do it if just these dreams allow me do it, maybe if I meditate tonight…' – he thought when finally took seat and closed his eyes, but, as soon as he felt himself relaxed, the sudden sound of an object cutting the air arrived to his hearings and immediately, without thinking or opening his eyes, he intercepted the object in the air using the fingers of his right hand to trap it very close to hit his temple. – "Now what, there is maybe some kind plot to not allow me to rest!" – annoyed he muttered when finally opened his eyes and began to examine what was throw to him, and his eyes wide when recognized what was, it was a little dart, but not a normal one, it was an special dart use it just for ninjas, and more specifically for ninjas of Yamanochi.
"# Hello, "gaijin", finally we see us again #" – then Ron turned his face to see the person who was talking to him and surely who shot the dart to him, he could see a young oriental man wearing black jacket and black jeans of medium constitution and dark hair and a face full with arrogance and prepotency walking into him, oh yea, Ron perfectly know him – "# I see you finally improved, but, how much you really do it #".
"Fukushima!".
To be continue…
