A/N - Blah, I didn't get near the positive response on my last chapter that I wished for, heck even my hit's dropped by a good 100 on that one… I guess I was getting big heady cause everyone was being nice and giving me good reviews. I'll just say that was not one of my best chaps. But, I hope this one goes better and I hope everyone enjoys it. But I've decided I'm just gonna write at my own pace for these last chaps, and any questions will be answered best I can within the story. Also, I'm gonna skip the responses part of this chap, so I'm going to comment to all my wonderful nice reviewers at the end of my last chapter… hope that doesn't piss anyone off too badly. But I would give a quick thanks to userx, zipporahvulcan, the Desert Fox, Zaratan, MrDrP, campy, and Demonsword for the awesome reviews.

Anyway, enjoy the story. And if not, don't read. Simple as that

"Noooo!" Monkey Fist screamed in horror and disbelief.

Most of the other's, especially Hirotaka looked beyond confused at the figure and Monkey Fist's reaction. Kim finally decided to speak up for what everyone was thinking at that moment. "DNAmy? What are you doing here?"

DNAmy stepped forward out of the suns glare and became visible to everyone. The half-gorilla half-human woman ran clumsily at Monkey Fist, her arms outstretched in an attempt to seize him in her arms. "Oh Puddin' I've been looking for you everywhere! Did you miss your mommy?"

Monkey Fist just managed to leap away, from the woman's grasp, edging himself closer toward Ron and Yori who were still tied together. "How did you find me you vile woman? This was supposed to be my escape!"

"Oh always playing hard to get aren't you Monty honey? You know that makes me just love you even more" Amy took a few steps closer to Fist, where Monkey Fist stood his ground, he brandished the Lotus Blade a little tighter, and the gleam in his eye's told Kim that he was very close to using the sword against his would be monkey lover.

Kim walked up behind Amy and put her hand on her shoulder before addressing the large monkey lady. "ummm... Amy? If I can just ask you something real qui—eek."

Amy turned around and hugged Kim in a death grip. "Oh my fellow cuddler friend Kim Possible. You're so nice for telling me how to find Monty. I knew you were the one person who could help me find him, just like you did last time. And as soon as I e-mailed you, you're computer buddy Wade told me exactly how to find him. I just can't thank you enough for reuniting us."

Kim was beginning to turn blue from the lack of oxygen, and was getting quite dizzy from the way Amy was swinging her around, she probably would have barfed all over the cave if DNAmy hadn't chosen that moment to set her down. As Kim caught her breath she began to speak again. "Ah... well that answers that question. But I thought Monkey Fist said you two just had a professional relationship?"

Amy giggled at that, in such a way that caused everyone in the cave to cringe in horror and slight pain. "Oh, he always says that, but I know he loves me."

Fist just couldn't stand it any longer. "You foolish woman! I don't love you, I never have and never will! I have no desire for love, my only desire is to gain more power and become monkey master of this world. What do I have to do to get you to leave me alone?"

All the residents in the cave felt sorry for the scorned woman, and cast angry glares at the monkey man. Amy herself looked a little dejected, but never lost her happy demeanor, finding it better to delude herself, "Oh, don't be silly. You'll always be my cuddle buddy, we were made for each other."

Kim shook her head in disbelief at how Amy was able to delude herself like that, but she spoke softly so that only Amy could hear her advice. "Oh Amy... maybe you should listen to Monty there. You can't just assume he wants to be with you, you guys need to communicate or you could have a lot of problems come up real soon." Kim felt a slight pang of guilt as she realized those same words could apply to her and Ron's relationship. Sure she'd asked him before, and he said he loved her... but was this really what he wanted? Had she assumed too much about Ron's apparent loving actions? Before she could address her thoughts better, Monkey Fist continued

Fist smiled maliciously at that. "There will be no discussion, you see, once I kill Ron Stoppable, I will become the one to fulfill the prophesy by default. I will have to marry Yori here and save the world. The entire world will be in my debt, and with that sort of power I will finally become the ultimate Monkey Master!"

Everyone who didn't already know this, stood in silent shock at Monkey Fist's revolution to his true plan, Yori was the first to speak in her own defense. "I will never love you Monkey Fist, not even if we were thrown deep into the past, and I was convinced that I had somehow lost Ron-san forever, I would never ever love you."

Everyone just stared at Yori's oddly specific scenario, but quickly shrugged it off. "Fist responded coldly. "Whether or not love has anything to do with it doesn't matter. I will be the new chosen one, and this vile beast shall be out of my life forever." Fist took steps toward Ron and the monkey ninja's stood aside, "Now Stoppable, prepare to meet your end."

"Ron-san!"

"Ron!" Yori struggled against her binding to free Ron and her, but to no avail, Kim in the meantime took more drastic action and while Fist was focused on Ron and leapt in front of him. Fist was taken by surprise which gave Kim just the opening she needed. Quickly she kicked at Fist's hands and the Lotus blade went soaring across the cave, imbedding itself in rock near DNAmy.

Fist and Kim squared off, exchanging kicks and punches but none gave any ground to the other. As most eyes were on Kim and Fist's fight, Amy went almost unnoticed, the ape/woman was crying hysterically as she reached for the Lotus Blade. She glared daggers at the young Japanese woman whom she now blamed for her losing her beloved. "You.." Amy's voice dripped venom in a way that one who was obsessed with cute things shouldn't be able to do.

Amy removed the blade with some degree of effort, although it was quite obvious that it was extremely hard for her to hold, even the magical blue glow disappeared when Amy held in her paws. Without another warning Amy tossed the blade aiming at Yori's head.

Luckily Hirotaka noticed the gleam of the blade and shouted a warning just in time. "Yori! Look out!"

Everyone turned to Yori in time to see Amy throw the blade. Fist exclaimed his dismay quickly, "No! without her I cannot fulfill the prophecy! What have you done?"

Yori on the other hand had other plans than getting impaled by a mystical sword. She quickly leapt off to the side, taking her and Ron with her, slamming directly into a monkey ninja and knocking it out. What Yori hadn't counted on though was how much Ron's extra weight slowed her down. And while she managed to escape the path of the blade easily, Ron wasn't so lucky.

Ron screamed at the sudden pain as the blade created a neat slice just above his left foot. Blood gushed from the wound and puddled on the ground. Both Kim and Yori wanted to immediately care for Ron's wound, but lighting suddenly struck near the cave, startling everyone. After the brief flash of light everything seemed to get ominously darker and Ron's puddled blood seemed to glow a bit brighter.

A booming and menacing voice seemed to come from no where. "A holy weapon has spilled pure and innocent blood. A paradox has formed and I am now free to walk the earth"

"Oh boy, that can't be good." Ron obviously wasn't too shaken up by the turn of events, as he still had wits left about him to crack a joke. But the fear rose in everyone as Ron's blood stopped flowing from his wound and the puddle became an inky black color.

Suddenly two large and slender claws ripped from the earth and gripped the floor of the cave, easily puncturing the rock face. Slowly a black and hairy creature rose from the pit that had formed from Ron's blood. It's arms were long and lanky, it's body itself was also quite lanky, yet obviously muscled. It's spine twisted in an unnatural way so that it's face looked up toward the ceiling, never giving a clear view of it's features. Its entire body finally came to the surface, the form reminded everyone of a black and sinister looking monkey, complete with tail. It stood nearly 10 feet tall, and stared down at all of the warriors, only DNAmy with her ape body could compare with it's tall form.

The monstrous monkey Seemed to look everyone over individually, almost as if he were sizing them up, comparing them to himself, until he finally spoke in a loud booming voice that shook the cave, but did not seem to come from himself but everywhere as the echo boomed within the cave. "Ah, I see that the holder of the Mystical Monkey Power are here. Did you fools think this sort of amateurish ambush, or whatever you may have planned won't work on me. I, the mighty Seiyukki-Oni, have never been defeated. And once the holders of the Mystical Monkey Power are gone I shall rule this and all worlds!" The monkey demon screeched with laughter, in such a way that reminded everyone of Monkey Fist during one of his rants, jumping up and down and shaking the cave.

If anyone had been paying any attention at all to out side the cave before all this started, they would have heard the screams and shouts of many, many Yamanuchi students and monkey ninjas. But, at the appearance of the monkey demon, everything fell silent. A few monkey ninja's and only two of the students came forward to the cave's entrance to witness in silent awe at the events that took place.

Fist was the first to recover from the idea that this 10 foot dark and quite evil looking monkey was looking to destroy them and then subjugate the world. He stepped forward and the monkey eyed him with an evil gaze. "Now, Seiyukki-Oni, as you call yourself. I believe you have this all wrong. After all, we are the one's who summoned you. And as the one true monkey Master it should be your honor to serve me, and assist me in taking over this world. Why together we would fear no one and we-"

In a move barely noticed by anyone, the Monkey Demon grabbed fist in his large hand and hurled him at the wall. Fist hit with a sickening crunch and fell to the floor in a heap, unconscious and barely breathing. Everyone winced as they took in the image of Fist lying there his body twisted in very unnatural angles. Amy quickly tried to run to help Monty up but she was quickly caught in the gaze of the monkey demon. She grinned sheepishly and fled in terror, caring more for her own life then that of Monkey Fist's or anyone else in the cave.

Now there was only Kim, Ron, Yori and Hirotaka that could possibly fight the demon. Ron and Yori were still bond together, and simply could not find a way to get free. Hirotaka finally was able to make it to the pair though as they were no longer being guarded by the monkey ninjas, the ninja were too freighted to be any threat, and without a leader they didn't appear to care that much about what the humans were doing.

As Hirotaka worked on the ropes Yori began muttering to herself, trying to come to grips with the whole situation. "No, this can't be right. Ron and I aren't even married yet. How are we supposed to fight this demon when we haven't even completed our destiny. We-we cannot win."

Hirotaka placed his two hands on Yori's cheeks and forced her to look up at him. "Yori! Listen to me. You cannot live your life this way, lead by destiny. Sure it seems like the easy answer to let your life be guided by words written over a thousand years ago, but that doesn't mean that they are the right answers."

Yori looked up at Hirotaka with soft eyes, she so wanted to believe him, that somehow everything would be ok with him. "Hiro..."

"Yori, we can discuss our future at another time and place, but for now, we all have to work together to defeat the monkey demon." At those words Hirotaka finally managed to cut the ropes that were binding Yori and Ron with his sword. "But for now, just know this." Hirotaka leaned down and kissed Yori deeply, surprising her, but in now way did she resist.

Oddly enough, the monkey demon made absolutely no moves as the teens regrouped, almost as if he felt that absolutely nothing they did would ever be enough to stop him. Kim managed to run to the others, just in time to catch the kiss, and smiled as she helped Ron to his feet. "Hey Ron, I'm so glad to see you. Are you ok?"

Ron winced as he slowly applied pressure to his wounded left leg that was still caked with dry blood even though the wound had magically scabbed over when the demon appeared. "Yeah, not counting my leg, I'm perfectly cool. How you KP?"

"Just spankin'" Kim leaned in to give Ron a quick kiss. "But right now we have a tiny bit more important things to worry about then our reunion. Like how do we stop this huge Monkey Demon?"

Yori quickly answered, her cheeks still a bit flushed from her previous kiss. "The Lotus Blade. This demon is pure evil, the holy blade must be the only way to defeat such a creature."

The teens looked around the cave until the spotted the blade, it was close. Laying about 20 feet away near Monkey Fist's crumpled body. Without saying a word Ron hopped on one leg toward to blade, but out from no where the Monkey demon decided to move again. The demon punched the wall of the cave, letting rocks fall all around and effectively cutting everyone off from the sword.

At the sudden movement, Ron fell backwards, and only a quick catch by Kim managed to save him from falling on his back. The demon shuffled his body between the heros and the holy blade, looming over everyone trying to intimidate them. "You will not get this blade! Don't you all realize you can't defeat me? I am power incarnate!"

Kim smirked as she helped Ron to his feet once again. "So not. I've beat things way bigger then you. With all of us working together there's no way we can lose."

The evil monkey demon beared his teeth in a sadistic and knowing smile. "You fools don't even realize that you've already sealed your fate. Prepare to die."

As the demon came down upon the hero's, they all readied for battle and prepared themselves for the fight of their lives.

Woohoo! Only one month hiatus and I got another chapter done :-p I realized once midterms for this semester started up that I really needed to get this fic done and off of my shoulders so I could concentrate on "more important" things, like studying. But, rest assured, the next chapter will be my last for this one, just the final battle and an epilogue of sorts. Also I'll be responding in any way I can to my awesome reviewers. So, if you have any questions or comments or just wanna tell me anything in particular, get those reviews in quick. Oh, and A huge thanks to G-go for letting me allude to his story within my fic (I hope you all caught that reference and got a good chuckle off of it). And if you haven't read his Union/Reunion stories... what the hell are you wasting time reading my fic for! Read his! It is so much better than mine. Hell, I'll bet he even has a beta reader. :-p

Anyway, thanks for readin' guys. You all rock. See ya soon.
