Disney owns, I don't. Nuff said! OK, I'm not sure if it's done yet or not, but I was thinking that we really need a Kim Possible Fan Fiction Award/s. If it's already done, just let me know. If not, I think we could really use one to highlight all the great KP fics out there. My thoughts, several categories, to highlight all the different stories out there. If you are interested, email me directly, and we'll see what we can work out!

Redemption – Confrontation
Ron pulled out the Kimmunicator as the six of them headed for the plane. When the young boy answered, he wasted no time. "Wade, we have a fix on Monkey Fist. Think you can get some Global Justice back up to Mount Kilimanjaro. We're talking eastern face, about 12,000 feet up in elevation!"
Wade just looked shocked as he started punching keys on his keyboard. "How'd you get this info? I'm scanning but I've got nothing."
"Bonnie got a fix on where he's going to be, but he already got the last thing he was looking for. We need you to run a trace on what it might do, Bonnie drew up a sketch!" He flashed the piece of paper up to the Kimmunicator, while Wade ran the scan.
"I'll see what I can find out, but I haven't reported any thefts. Where did he find this?"
"Bonnie says it was some tomb outside Nairobi, the only name she could come up with was Tarik. Considering what she pulled off, I think it's amazing what we got!"
"I'll get right on it! Global Justice says they can spare a couple detachments, but their ETA is going to be about three hours."
"Damn, we can get there in just over two, and that might be cutting it too close. Keep us updated!"
"Wait!" Ron paused as Wade typed briefly on his keyboard once more. "About that request you made, I got it finished!"
"Please tell me you've got it here now? We're just taking off!"
"Look up!"
Ron raised his head, shielding his eyes, and noticed a dark spot in the sky that rapidly grew bigger. Just when he started to worry about moving out of the way, a chute popped open, arresting the box's descent, and then slowly continue down to the ground.
"Wade, you rock big time!"
"I do what I can. I'll brief Bonnie on the flight over. Later!"
Wade signed off, and Ron noticed the others staring intently at the box as it landed among them. "Bonnie, get over here. Mego, get that plane prepped, we take off in five!"
Bonnie walked over to Ron, and watched as he opened the box. "Bonnie, even before you so politely turned down my offer to go home, I knew you'd be coming with us, so I had Wade whip up a little something for you!" In his hands, he lifted up a brand new battle suit, designed for her.
Bonnie just grinned as she took it in her hands, then looked up at Ron, a frown on her face. "I don't think I can wear this. Black and yellow are so last season!"
Ron's jaw just dropped, as he tried to find the words that could possibly respond to a statement that absurd. He was finally saved when Bonnie started laughing.
"I'm just kidding! Just give me a couple minutes to throw it on and I'll meet you at the plane. I assume Wade is going to give me a rundown on this on the way over?"
Ron just nodded, unable to fully hide the smile on his face. "Yeah, but speed it up, we have to go! Which means no time to check your hair and makeup."
Bonnie just slapped him playfully, ducking into the nearest building to change. True to her word, she came out mere minutes later, and the six of them were off to face Monkey Fist.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drakken awoke with a realization. He knew what Monkey Fist was planning!
It had bothered him, why he would want the amplifier. It would make the artifacts incredibly bulky, very easy to remove from an individual, and Monty was too smart for that. He didn't understand how magic worked, other than the basic energy principles, but that was enough for him to realize what was planned. His gathering of different artifacts, all from different cultures, with different abilities, most different from his normal goals of the mystical monkey power he had sought for so long. It wasn't just a basic power grab, he sought to combine the powers, amplified, and transfer the energy.
He was going to take the energy into himself! He would be unbeatable!
He called for the nurse. He had to warn them, had to tell them. He just hoped he was in time!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ride was tense. With the exception of Wade updating Bonnie on the suits capabilities, it was quiet. Ron could see Shego flaring the fire occasionally, almost without realizing she was doing it. Mego just stared ahead as he piloted the plane. Both Yori and Hirotaka were meditating, preparing for the fight ahead. Bonnie, after finishing with Wade, forced herself to try and keep tabs on Monkey Fist, trying to find more information. That left Ron to his own thoughts.
The talk with Shego and Mego disturbed him, and he hadn't asked Yori and Hirotaka their thoughts. He knew how they must have been feeling though, and he feared that what the siblings had said was true. Would he have to kill to stop Monkey Fist? In the heat of battle, that was something he could probably live with, even if it tormented him. But if the battle was over, and Monkey Fist lay defeated and not dead, would he have to stop the rest of the group from killing him? Did he even really want to?
These thoughts bothered him as they made their way to where Monkey Fist was headed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had taken him a long time to convince the nurse, and even longer to convince the cops outside his door. Two hours had passed, and finally a Global Justice agent had come to see him.
"What can I do for you, Mr. Lipsky?"
The use of his name never even phased him. "I have to get in touch with Ron Stoppable immediately! Or his tech buddy Wade Load! I know what Monkey Fist is planning to do!"
The GJ agent just looked at him, a bit confused. Finally he nodded. "Fine, we'll have a satellite feed to Mr. Load set up for you in a few minutes."
Drakken settled back, feeling the pain overwhelm him. "Thank you!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ron, I'm picking up a lot of energy at the coordinates! I think whatever Monkey Fist is planning, it's happening now!"
Ron slipped into mission mode quickly. "All right team, he's started already. That means we're going to have to drop in. Mego, try to find a place to land after we bail out, and hurry up after us!"
"But I want a piece of that bastard! Let someone else fly this thing!"
"Only you and Shego know how to fly this thing, and we need her down there! Join up with us after you land! Shego, when we get down there, you have point, Bonnie and me will be right behind. Yori, Hirotaka, you back us up, and keep an eye out for Fukashima. We don't need any surprises!"
"The traitor will not interfere."
The gleam in Yori's eyes troubled him, but he had no time to dwell on it.
"We're over the drop site! Bail out quick so I can get in to help."
"Right! OK team, let's move!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Drakken, what do you want?"
Drakken looked at the young boy, the one who had helped foil so many of his schemes. This time, they had to work together, if they had any hope of stopping Monkey Fist. "I know what Monkey Fist is planning! He's planning on combining the powers of all the artifacts within himself, transferring the energy and using the amplifier during the process to increase the threshold of those abilities during the transference!"
"How can you possibly be sure about that?"
Drakken's face took on a look of desperation. "Look at all the artifacts he has made off with. Even with a number of amplifiers, it's far too many to use effectively, and some wouldn't even properly respond without certain conditions, conditions not met with an amplifier in place. It's the only logical course of action!"
Wade face grew grave, as a beep from his monitor alerted him. "Oh no. I just got a lock on the last relic Monkey Fist stole. It's a ring, said to be worn by an ancient hero by the name of Tarik. Legend states he could absorb his enemies' strength and make it his own. And based on the power signatures I'm reading, he's already started the process! I have to warn Ron!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ron had just disconnected the chute when the Kimmunicator beeped. "What's up Wade, we're just getting ready to move in!"
"Move faster! Drakken figured out what Fist is up to. If you don't stop him, he's going to absorb the power from all the artifacts into himself. If he's able to finish, there will be no way to stop him!"
Ron's face paled instantly. "We have to move! As soon as you see him, try to distract him from finishing! If he finishes the ritual, we might not have another chance!"
They approached the cave mouth at a dead run, and saw the light show before them. Shego took the lead, but the others were just behind. Ron amped the power within him, and felt a burst of speed, catching up with Shego. As they rounded a corner, the sight before them caused them to pause briefly. Monkey Fist sat in the middle of the chamber, head raised with an evil smile plastered on his face. In his hands and feet, he held four of the artifacts, amplifiers firmly in place. They could see the energy pouring out from them, entering Monkey Fist's body, and he laughed from the sheer joy of it.
Shego lashed out with a bolt of fire, aimed directly for Monkey Fist, but was stopped by some kind of barrier. Monkey Fist laughed again, as all five tried attacking, their attacks thrown off by the barrier that surrounded Monkey Fist.
"You fools, you are too late to stop me! The process is almost complete, and then I shall crush you all like the ants you are!"
The light flared, and the shield protecting Fist pulsed, knocking the heroes back. Ron squinted through the glare, trying to catch sight of Monkey Fist. What he saw terrified him!
Monkey Fist began to grow, taller and broader. His face lengthened and stretched, taking on both dog and monkey features at the same time. A tail sprouted behind him, as the madman laughed maniacally. The light flared briefly, blinding him, and when he was able to see again, he saw Monkey Fist standing there. The man stood over eighteen feet tall, almost touching the top of the cave ceiling. His eyes glowed a deep red, and when he spoke, the voice that issued forth sent chills down to the very marrow in his bones.
"You little ants think you can stop me! Nothing can stop me now!"
Before Ron could react, he felt the wind grab him, and he felt himself flying into the far wall. Pinned, it was all he could do to try and shield Bonnie from impacting as she too joined him. Shego's head bounced off the wall first as she struck, and within moments, all five were pinned against the wall.
The wind died suddenly, and they dropped to the ground. Ron managed to lift his head, as he looked up at Monkey Fist.
"Now, you pitiful insects, you die!"
Light flared from Monkey Fist's eyes, striking the rock above them, sending a cascade of stone down upon them. Ron lifted his arms to protect himself and Bonnie, before the rock buried them.
Silence permeated the cave as the last of the rocks fell, and a small man made his way from hiding. Fukashima began to grovel before his master.
"Are they dead, master?"
"The pests will not bother me any longer. You have served me well."
"Thank you, Master!"
"Now, you are done serving me!"
Fukashima backed up at that, fear evident on his face, as he pleaded. "But Master, I have done everything you asked for. I thought you would give me power, so that I may serve further."
"Foolish little man. A god does not share power! But, you have served me well, so I shall grant you a quick death!"
"Master, please, no…"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mego could hear the screams as he approached the cave, followed swiftly by silence. He ran as fast as he could, but wasn't in time to see more than Monkey Fist, greatly changed, fly from the mouth of the cave, and head off to the north. That could only mean one thing!
Oh God, no!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author's Notes – And Fukashima makes at least four! Of course, how many died in the rocks is still the question, for which we will find out shortly. I'm having a multi-chappie day, what with the block finally broken, so you need not wait too long for the answer to that! And just remember, I didn't say 6 die, I said atLEAST 6 die! BWAHAHA!
I'd like to thank the following for their reviews;
Campy – yup, 3 more, and I am greatly enjoying it!
Mobius97 – Kinda why I called it End Game Approaches. Just kidding, glad you liked it.
Kpultimatefan – Not sure what I can promise, Mego has always seemed to have a great many issues. We'll just have to see how this one works out. After all, he could end up like the Wegos instead!
mattb3671 – Well, it worked before, had to give it a try.
MrDrP – Oh come on, I'm not that predictable, am I? Hmm… I guess I am! Well, I think I still have a few surprises in store yet! I enjoyed writing the Bonnie/Shego stuff, it's fun!
Worker72 – Nope, different temple, but along the same lines. Aww… not a fan of Yori and Hirotaka? And you don't want too much suffering? Is this the same person who thought I had rose-coloured glasses on until I starting offing kids?
I'd also like to thank Seamus Dubh, MrDrP (Seriously, that was writer's block! I have two other one-shots worked partway through that I should be releasing soon once I find that mood again) and kpultimatefan for reviewing Tara Strikes Back!
