Author's Notes: Final Chapter.
Hopefully everything makes sense now. If I forgot to wrap something up that I started, please inform me with a review and I will make whatever changes are necessary.
I was asked whether I considered putting in any other villains. The answer is yes. I considered having Drakken working for Fiske and using mind control on Ron (ala the apparent betrayal at the end of the chapter before last.) but I felt this approach I used was better, because I didn't want to have to develop another useless character just to kill them off again in the same chapter.
Anyone who hasn't figured it out yet, Ron is not evil. He may do some bad things on occasion, like indiscriminate killing to achieve his goals, but he is not really evil.
Extra points for anyone who discovers the bad pun in this chapter (is there such thing as a good pun?).
Ron and Kim returned to the Saru camp without incident. "It is good that you have returned safely, Kim-san." Yori greeted Kim, "The preparations have been made. We have also captured Duff Killigan and await your orders."
"What's in his mouth?" Ron asked, noticing the large bulge behind Killigan's gag.
"It is the explosive he attempted to use against us. It appears to me much more powerful than the ones the Killa-clan used against us earlier."
At the sun disappeared over the horizon, the sounds of battle could be heard. When the last rays of the sun disappeared, Load's forces appeared. Their heavy armour shone in the silvery twilight. They attacked with the advanced weaponry and gadgets the Load Empire was known for. Even with their superior firepower, Load's forces were being driven back fast.
"Now!" Ron yelled and men began pumping gasses through bamboo tubes that released it amongst the Load troops. Fiske's men, and monkeys, held back as the gas claimed the consciousness of all the forces that entered it. Ron equipped a mask that protected him from the fumes and approached Fiske's men on his own under a white flag of truce. "If Fiske wants his men to survive this battle, he will honour me with his presence." A monkey ninja responded by throwing a shuriken. With lightning quick reflexes, Ron caught the shuriken. "Very well if that is how it will be…" Ron raised his hand and a wave of swords that had been hidden in the ground rippled across the enemy lines. Each sword performed one devastating arc before falling uselessly to the ground, pulled by strings run through the bamboo tubes. The enemy who were still standing rushed at Ron who merely backed into the mist of poisons where they could not follow without losing consciousness as Load's men did.
"You think you are so great." A snarling voice said. "You who stole the mystical monkey power. Do you think you stand a chance against Monkey Fist, the ultimate monkey master!" A hairy figure emerged from the army. After years of searching, I have found the Amulet of Shing. With it, I will be unstoppable as the prophecy foretold."
"You should pay more attention to your golden bananas, the prophecy said that when he finds the Amulet of Shing, the ultimate monkey master will be Ron Stoppable." Ron taunted. Fiske yelled and leapt into the mist after Ron who merely backed closer and closer to the Saru encampment. "You are too slow to be a master of anything. Maybe you need to cut back on the bananas." Ron stopped and gave another signal. The poisonous mist stopped flowing, allowing Fiske's army to move forward.
"How do you intend to beat me? With more of your stupid tricks?" Monty screeched. Ron's antics had held him back his whole life. Ron had mastered Tai Shing Pek Kwar fastr than him, causing his father to neglect his training. He had become the most famous warlord, causing Fiske to revel in obscurity. This time he would pay. He would make sure of it.
"Actually, no. I intend to do to you what I did to him." Ron smiled, gesturing to the naked and gagged form of Killigan who was hanging by his ankles from a tree. "I won't even lift a finger against you and you will lose."
Fiske grew more and more angry. It was as if Ron Stoppable was trying to humiliate him at every opportunity. "Cut him down." He ordered as his army approached their position. Ron smiled and ran back towards his army. Ron dove for the ground when he heard the snap of the rope holding Killigan who fell face first towards the hard ground. He covered his ears as a massive explosion rocked the battlefield. Monkeys and men were sent flying. Fiske who has continued chasing him went flying over him. Seeing his opportunity, Ron grabbed the Amulet of Shing as Monkey Fist passed over him. He felt a searing pain in his arm and dropped the amulet. A piece of shrapnel jutted out just above his elbow. He could not move his right arm at all anymore. Blood was dripping out fast. If he removed the shard of metal from his arm, he would bleed to death fast.
"Ron!" Kim yelled and rushed onto the battlefield, collapsing at her husband's side. She had seen the shard that had embedded itself in Ron's arm. The blood from the impact had spread for hundreds of meters thanks to the explosion's shockwave. This effect made it appear as if more blood had splattered than had actually left Ron. "Ron-kun…" He was paler than usual. "Are you okay?" She asked. He grinned, but fainted before he could tell her that he was fine. Kim saw his elbow was dripping blood. She had to stop the bleeding before he died from blood loss. She sliced two strips of fabric from her kimono. She tied the first around Ron's upper arm to stifle the blood flow. She then pulled on the piece of shrapnel. She shuddered as she heard it scraping against his bone. With a sickening squelch, it finally came out. A green glint caught her eye. An amulet that resembled the ring Ron was wearing was on the ground. It must be what he was after. She picked it up and tied the broken strap together, hanging it around Ron's neck.
"I believe that belongs to me." Monty Fiske punched Kim in the jaw, sending her flying away from Ron. Fiske bent down to take back the amulet, but Kim was back up and returned his blow. Kim knew the Saru would not help. They would follow the plan with or without Ron. Fiske's forces were busy regrouping after losing half their forces to the blast. It was her fight. She would kill Monkey Fist in single combat, the perfect method for revenge.
"Because of you my family is dead." She said, advancing upon Fiske as he leapt back to his feet. "You will pay for the Possible massacre with your life." She kicked at him, but he managed to dodge and counter it with a sweep. She rolled with it and returned to her feet.
"Is that what he told you? You should be careful when listening to the words of a bandit." Fiske smiled, "After all, he lead the attack." This did not have the desired effect of distracting her as Fiske had planned. Instead, she just continued attacking. She threw a flurry of punches. She lunged at him and he dodged to the side, leaving himself open to a kunai that slashed his side. This slowed him down, but not by enough as he elbowed Kim in the back of her head, sending her to the ground, unconscious. He picked up the kunai and prepared to deliver the killing blow.
"No!" A hand grabbed at Fiske's ankle and flipped him so that he landed on his back.
"Do you really think you are in a state that could even pose a challenge to a monkey master?" Fiske laughed, leaping back to his feet, watching Ron who was barely able to remain upright on his knees, his right hand limply at his side.
"No, so I guess it is a good thing I am not fighting one." He replied.
"No you won't be fighting at all. You are too weak to even stand. You will stay there and watch as I kill Kim Possible." He laughed as he lifted Kim's face so that he could see it and placed the tip of the kunai at her neck. "Say goodbye, you will never see her alive again." A single drop of blood ran down the edge of the kunai. This was all the encouragement Ron needed. A green light coalesced from Ron's eyes, immersing his entire body in the light. With movement so fast, Fiske did not even see it, the glowing eyes of Ron Stoppable were facing his. The hand holding the kunai was twisted so that it met Fiske's throat the same way it had Kim's.
"You don't touch her." The venom in Ron's voice scared Fiske. Ron's eyes stared straight into Fiske's. His right hand was squeezing the hand Fiske was using to hold the Kunai so hard that Fiske could not move it away from his neck, or even drop the kunai. "You are lucky I told her that she would have the honour of killing you." He backhanded Fiske, sending him flying to the ground. Kim groaned and sat up. "You okay?" Ron asked, his glow fading to the pale blue that Kim had seen before.
"I think so." She rubbed the back of her head which was sore. She turned to see Monkey Fist sneaking up on Ron who had dropped his guard. "Lookout!" She cried, pulling him out of the way. Monkey fist cursed them and began running back towards his own army, which had now formed up ready for the next assault.
"You may have killed many of my men, but they still outnumber yours!" Lord Fiske gave a command and his army rushed forward. Kim helped Ron, who's eyes were back to normal, to get back to their own army who immediately put up their guard once Ron was past. He nodded to Yori who gave a signal to the battlefield.
"I don't think you counted right." Ron yelled, leaning on Kim for support. Half of the Saru dropped out of the trees behind Fiske's lines, surrounding his army with a greater force. "You have one chance to surrender, or Kim-chan will kill you."
"Monkey ninjas, kill Ron Stoppable, no matter what."
"I don't think they like you telling them that they should kill their master." Ron replied as the monkey's turned towards Fiske. This is the prophecy, remember? I have both the Amulet and ring of Shing Pei . I am a master of Tai Shing Pek Kwar and I am filled with the mystical monkey power. I am the ultimate monkey master." The monkeys fought with Fiske, while the men in his army tried to defend against the advancing Saruwaruguntai.
When the fighting subsided, Fiske himself was the only opponent left alive. The monkey ninjas held him down and Ron, Kim and Yori approached the man who was covered in minor wounds and large bruises. "I was to be the ultimate monkey master...You'll pay for this Stoppable."
"No he won't. But you will pay for all the things you forced him to do." Yori handed Kim a katana. Monkey Fist began cursing Both Ron and his monkey minions, but was cut off when Kim removed his head.
"Sensei…" Ron said bowing to Lord Monty Fiske the first, "Your son is dead." Fiske nodded. He had been expecting this. "You are once again Lord of your own lands."
"That is not true. Tradition dictates that the greatest monkey master is to be the Lord of the Monkey Kingdom. You are the Lord here now."
"Then I will need a steward to rule in my stead. I have two other territories to run, I could not handle a third. Will you take on this task for me?"
"It will be my honour."
Wade Load would not be happy with the results of this battle. His entire army had been killed by exposure to toxic gasses, Killigan's explosives and being trampled by two armies. Ron thought he would probably need to placate Load with a peace offering of some kind. He arrived back at camp and went to visit Kim in her tent. he only found Yori there.
"Where is P-chan?" He asked, noticing her stuff was gone.
"I believe she is waiting in your tent. It will be your honour to join her." Yori gave one of her girlish giggles. "I believe she wants to… discuss some important matters of state with you." Ron grinned as he imagined the implications of this.
"BOO-YAH!"
