At the Air Field and Hostage Situation
As Ron speeds to the air field, Norman gets an alert on the wire about a bank robbery with a potential hostage situation. He pulls up the external feeds at the Bank and can't hold his laughter as he sees a man dressed like a bird walking behind a bunch of goons. He then sees a young woman in a car parked at the curb struggling to keep her composure. He observes the man take the woman captive and makes a command decision.
He contacts Bonnie and Hirotaka, telling them to report in for War Bird duty. Bonnie and Hirotaka reply in the affirmative and head in, leaving their twins in Judith Rockwaller's care. Within fifteen minutes, they arrive at Command Center and immediately suit up. As they suit up, Norman opens the roof and prepares the attack helicopter for duty. Bonnie and Hirotaka come back out, clearly eager to kick some bad guy rump, if not blow it away first.
In the past month, Norman improved the armor on the super-cycle and added turbine thrusters on the helicopter, allowing it to reach the scene of the situation even quicker. He even added microphones for increased surveillance. Needless to say, he wasn't thrilled with the cycle having a weak spot, especially around the weapons system circuitry. So he beefed up the armor, just about everywhere you can think of to armor it at.
Meanwhile, at the air field, Kim and Amanda are waiting for Street Hawk's arrival when they hear the roar of a familiar engine. They look back and sure enough, they see the motorcycle approaching at a high rate of speed. When it appears to be about to collide with James' car, he jumps over it and slides to a halt. As it slides, he turns it around, facing the car holding Fiske and James.
He then says, "Release your hostage and come out with your hands up!"
Fiske, still in shock over what he had just seen, meekly nods and allows James to exit the vehicle. James runs toward Kim's Expedition as he thanks Street Hawk for helping him. Fiske then steps out of the car with his hands up and slowly walks toward Street Hawk.
He then says, "I'm Baron Gregory Fiske. I have some questions regarding a personal matter. First off, are you the one they call Street Hawk?"
He then replies, "I am. Fiske. Any relation to Lord Montgomery Fiske, alias Monkey Fist?"
Fiske nods and replies, "Yes, he was my brother. Did you kill him and a woman with him?"
"Yes, I did. They learned my identity and were eager to reveal my identity to the world at large. It would have jeopardized my family's safety and since they were evil as heck, they were eliminated as threats to the safety of the world."
"Did you put them in the cage and then shoot them?"
"No, they were shot before they went into the cage. They were holding a group of students captive inside the cage. Since I don't have a lock-pick set, I had to blast the lock on there."
"Who are you under there? I assure you, your family's safety will not be threatened if you reveal it to me."
"I'll put it to you like this. I'm the last person you'd expect to be Street Hawk. As to revealing my identity and your assurances, the day I believe them is the day I buy swamp land in Florida. Command Center, come in. A hostage situation? From the Bank? A young woman being held hostage? All right, I'm on it. Get the Police out here. I've got something to take care of first."
He then dismounts the cycle and walks over to Fiske's position, bringing out a pair of handcuffs. When he gets there, he proceeds to cuff Fiske and puts him in the back seat of James' car. He then remounts the cycle and heads for the Expedition.
He rides to his in-Laws' sides, flips up his visor and says, "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Dr. P., hi KP. How's it going?"
James is taken aback as he sputters and manages to say, "Ronald? Is that really you, son?" Kim and Amanda can only giggle at his attempt to get it straight.
Kim then says, "Ron, I'm gonna take my parents to Command Center and let Norman blank their memories. I'll be back as soon as I can, honey." Ron nods as Kim turns the wheel of the Expedition and heads away from the scene.
He turns the super-cycle around to leave the air field, only to see Fiske is not in the car anymore. Slightly puzzled and worried, he then revs the cycle's engine and heads away from the scene, not seeing Fiske spring up from below the dashboard.
He tries calling Zoey on her phone, but to no avail. This immediately causes him to get worried and he determines that she may be the hostage that was taken. As he drives, he mutters softly to himself, "I'm coming Zoey, and right behind with help. So just hang in there, kiddo. Hang in there."
He then worries that he won't be able to tell her the truth about himself. That he was her long-absent Father. He had happened upon her by chance when he read an article in the London Times. When he read who her Mother was, he flipped his lid. Excitedly, he called her Mother, Christina Martin, and congratulated her on a well-raised daughter. It was then that he had received the biggest bombshell of his life. He's a Father, long after all these years of solitude and loneliness. Of course, she had never told Zoey much about him, but she did love him very much.
Only until after Christina died did Fiske attempt to contact Zoey. It was three months before they had arrived at the cave that housed his late brother's remains. He was so nervous, he came near to snapping in half if even jolted by the slightest touch. But he was able to maintain his composure when he talked to her for the first time. He had so wanted to tell her about himself, but found himself very frightened at what her reaction could be. So he kept quiet all this time, observing his daughter's movements and seeing Christine in her.
Meanwhile, in the sky, War Bird is silently following Zoey's car when Hirotaka decides it's time to try out the new microphones. He calls in to Command Center and says, "Norman-san, what's the sensitivity on these mikes?"
"You can hear a flea fart at 200 feet. You can even point them any direction surrounding the helicopter. I got the idea from a movie I saw a long time ago." At that, Bonnie merely chuckles, switches to whisper mode and activates the microphone array, instantly picking up the criminal's voice.
"You see, once we reach the outskirts of Go City, the Authorities will have to end their pursuit. This will allow us to get to a cave I found some time ago and I will trigger a quake so massive, it will bring Go City and the rest of the world to it's knees!" He then lets out a seriously deranged and crazed laugh as he prattles on and on. "Once the world is mine, nothing can stop Aviarius. Not Team Go, not Kim Possible and certainly not Street Hawk!"
Zoey can only shake her head incredulously as they reach the town limits for Middleton, not hearing or knowing about a helicopter flying above them. It is only by a fluke that Aviarius happens to get a look outside and sees the helicopter. He radios his flunkies and tells them to handle the helicopter. The van breaks off and makes for the helicopter. Two flunkies lean out the doors with rocket launchers and fire heat-seekers at the helicopter.
Hirotaka sees this and activates the counter-measures. The side-ports drop out hot flares, drawing the rockets to them. Seeing the rockets have been destroyed and satisfied with the results, Bonnie locks onto the van, smiles her barracuda smile and obliterates it with the gatling guns. However, by the time they get clear of the engagement zone, they see the car is nowhere nearby. They try tracking with the microphones, but with no luck. All they pick up is static.
Frustrated, Bonnie touches down on the ground and calls Command Center, giving them the situation and their current location. She is then relieved to hear that Ron is on his way to her location and will be joined by Kim shortly. Thirty minutes later, Ron arrives, gives them Kim's situation and adds they may have been followed by Fiske, having picked up on James car right behind him.
