The two teenagers sat in silence as their ride flew them back towards the Middleton airport. They had managed to clean Ron up and at the same time disposed of the body in Drakken's pihrana pit, The authorities had Drakken safely in their possession and it was highly doubtful that without Shego to aid him he would ever escape again.

Ron for his part instead of just sitting was still shaking as the memories of what happened crashed down on him.

Kim called wade for the tenth time that night. "Wade do you have anything yet?"

They had explained everything to him and set him the task of finding out what was going on with Ron. "It's hard to say Kim. a small picture appeared on the screen. This is a normal strand of DNA." The picture was replaced by the same picture. "This was Ron's DNA back when you started high school. This is a sample of Ron's DNA after he mutated so that he could fight Gill." This time Kim was able to tell the difference between the two strands. Several of the chromosones were placed differently and entire sections of the strand looked like they had been rewritten. "This altered section really makes no difference to his day to day life. It's simply inactive." A fourth sample came up. "This is Ron's DNA now," The figure was so completely different from the other three that Kim had trouble believing that it belonged to any human, let alone Ron. Instead of the double helix formation of everything else. It was loaded down with twelve different strands of DNA. "As far as I can figure, some kind of virus invaded Ron's body. I've looked at it. and the original seems to turn a person into..." Wade looked hesitant to say what he thought.

Kim gave him a supportive look. "Go on Wade." Wade closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"It looks like it turn's people into vampires." A low groan came from Ron who had been listening intently since the beginning of the conversation. He huddled up with his legs hugged to his chest.

"The thing is, because of the mutating agent in Ron's DNA. The virus itself has been altered. Unlike what effects the virus should have had. Ron doesn't need blood to survive nor is he unable to deal with the sun. The bad news is that his testosterone and andrenaline levels are off the charts. His body while it doesn't need blood to survive. seems to have developed a thirst for it just the same."

Kim looked impatient. "In english Wade."

"When he gets angry or upset. His body will become almost purely vampiric. He might lose control of himself and drink."

Kim paled at the thought. She looked to the side were her boyfriend was almost in tears. Her heart broke for him. Such a nice and sensitive person. A guy who had time and time again thrown himself into danger for others. Had been given a curse of unspeakable evil. It was all to clear to Kim what had happened in the park almost two weeks ago.

"Guys!" Yelled Wade after finally getting tired of waiting for them. They turned their eyes back to the screen.

"It's not as bad as it seems. All we have to do is keep him on a mild sedative and he'll be fine. Better than fine actually. One of the effects of the virus is a super powerful immune system. He'll never get sick again and to top it all off, because of the heightened levels of adrenaline he is now almost three times as strong as the Jackal and faster than a cheetah."

Ron reached over and turned the Kimmunicator off. "What'd you do that fo-"

"He doesn't understand Kim. He thinks that this is something that can be controlled by medication."

"But Ron,"

"KIM, I killed someone. I can't take that risk again. I just can't." The scenery changed outside as the plane landed at the Middleton airport. Ron got out of his seat and headed towards the door. "Kimberly, it's over. Don't come looking for me. You won't find me." Kim got up out of her seat to rush to her boyfriend's side. Ron forced himself to master a technique he had learned in Yamanouchi. His body faded as he blended into his surroundings. He took one last look at the bewildered Kim and walked into the approaching twilight.
