Ch4: The Monkey Master

I.

Standing there with blood splattered over her face was his Kim. Her red hair hung limply against her body and her green eyes were blood shot from lack of sleep. Even more troubling was the wild look they seemed to have but despite it all it was still his Kim.

"KP I'm glad I finally found you." Ron stepped forward moving towards the young girl standing before him. He winced when she drew back in a defensive position.

"Ron I'm sorry about the beating. It's just that you surprised me with that kiss." He watched Kim take a cautious step back heading towards the room behind her.

"Kim I can't let you go in there."

"I know its confusing Ron but trust me when I say I'm not who you think I am. That damn Monkey changed my body and everyone's memories. Trust me I'm not Kim. My name is Kevin and I've been your best friend..."

"Since Pre-K Kim?"

"Yeah see you remember and I already told you its Kevin."

"Kevin's dead Kim. Accept it."

Ron watched as Kim stared back at him in shock. She looked slightly to his side and then slowly looked back at his face. Her eyes narrowed when she didn't see what she wanted to. Anger soon came to her face.

"I'm not dead. I am Kevin you bastard!"

"No Kim, your Kevin's twin. That's all. You're no more him then I am. Please stop this already." Ron reached towards the girl in front of him trying to somehow convey the truth of his words.

Kim threw her head back and then started to laugh. She looked back at Ron a slightly disturbed look coming over her. "I don't have a twin sister. There never was a Kim so how could your statement be true."

"Your father told me the truth Kim. I know what happened. It's not your fault..."

"Shut up! I won't listen to your lies anymore." With that Kim charged forward.

Ron quickly took a defensive stance his hands raised in front of him while his body crouched slightly. With practiced ease he tapped into the rarely used powers that dwelled within him. The Mystical Monkey energy started to come to bear. It eagerly rose to the call now that Ron had dropped the barriers holding it deep within.

Ron had to smile at how easy it really was to bring the power to bear. It was not an act of summoning or even an act of building it up. The power was always ready at his beck and call. It was always there just below the surface. Its power was not summoned but released. It was the sword just as he was.

Kim having now closed the distance with Ron let out a feral cry. He easily dodged as Kim's fist sailed at his head and then leaped over the follow up sweeping kick. Ron arm blocked the kick that followed intending to catch him in the side. Kim though just let lose a furry of punches and kicks. Each time Kim's fist came at him Ron dodge it. Each time Kim kicked Ron blocked it. Kim then let out a scream as she went in for a low sweeping kick again. Ron easily leaped over it and then felt the impact of the fist into his chest.

Ron sailed backwards and hit into the wall. He blinked in surprise as the gasping Kim stood back up going back into her defensive stance.

"I didn't know you could move that fast." Ron statement seemed to shake Kim out of her rage as she smiled down at him.

"I'm surprised that you held on so long Ron. I'm proud of you though this will just be like football. No matter how hard you practiced I was always better." Kim fixed him with a slight sneer as she started to walk away.

"Kim I don't play football with girls." Kim growled at Ron's statement as she turned back around.

Ron had to suppress the feeling of dread that came up in him. There standing before him was a very angry Kim. His last statement had caused her to turn back her previous task long forgotten as she stalked towards Ron. He quickly suppressed his own internal feelings of inadequacy concerning her. Kim needed him to be strong after all.

Kim again followed up with a hard right towards his face but was surprised when Ron just dropped. Her surprise turned to a grunt when both of Ron's legs slammed into Kim exposed middle sending her back a few feet. Ron then easily launched himself into the air using his hands to propel him forward.

Instead of impacting with Kim's head as had been his goal Ron sailed through empty air. He quickly rebounded off the wall searching for Kim. He hadn't even left the wall for more then a second before her foot slammed into his stomach causing him to crash to the ground.

Ron watched as Kim smiling raised her foot again and brought it down aiming for his neck. Ron's desperately shoved his hand out catching her foot. He watched as a confused Kim stared down at him before he brought his other hand up to grip her leg.

"Kim, give up now or I'll have to hurt you." Ron mentally kicked himself for this show of weakness. This was usually where the villain killed the hero after all.

Kim just smiled at him before putting all her weight on the trapped leg. Her other leg slammed into his side.

An audible crack could be heard across the chamber when the leg made contact. Ron wincing in pain and let go of Kim as she drew back. Ron winced internally when he saw Kim scream when she tried to put her weight back on the leg. She dropped like a sack of potatoes.

"You bastard you broke my leg!"

"I know Kim. I did warn you though I have to say I think you might have cracked a couple of my ribs with that last kick."

Ron stood back up as he watched Kim gingerly put all her weight on her other leg. He knew the fight was over but apparently Kim wasn't going to back down.

"You're just the damn sidekick. What makes you think you can win?" Kim's face was a mask of furry as she raised her injured leg up.

"Because Kim I'm not the sidekick. I'm the bumbling partner." With that Ron stepped forward towards Kim.

Kim though struck first her injured leg came flying at him. Ron instead of dodging just slammed the leg aside and watched as Kim feel off balance. He blocked out her screams as he approached her.

"Sorry Kim." With that Ron slammed his fist into her midsection knocking the wind out of her.

Kim for her part just stared back at him with hate in her eyes. Ron had to admit it was one of the few things he had hoped he could go through life without having to see. It was hard to justify beating down his girlfriend even if it was for her own good and Ron did feel guilty. He again suppressed the emotion as he released more of his power focusing it mostly around his right hand. Gently pressing it to Kim he let it go.

Kim's face showed surprise when the power hit her. Her eyes then closed shut. Ron had done what he could now.

"Come on Kim come back to me."

II.

James Possible was many things. He was a rocket scientist, a model citizen, and a member of the local Rocket Booster club. Heck he was even things he had kept hidden from his family but foremost he was a father. It was his one true passion in life. He'd trade everything else for the safety of his kids. Heck he had even given up the world for them.

James Possible loved his daughter. This fact was never questioned by anyone. It was also clear that if possible Mr. Possible would shield his daughter from all the harms of the world. It was this fact that was tearing him up inside.

If it could be said that Mr. Possible was worried over his daughter then it could also be said that Mrs. Possible was nearing a nervous break down. To this loving Mother her children meant more then life. Her daughter was no exception to this rule. Mrs. Possible who could delve into the depths of the human brain and perform miracles was left helpless as she stared at the solider in front of her.

For his part the young lieutenant was trying to console both parents. "Trust me Mr. and Mrs. Possible your daughter will be fine. I'm sure young Mr. Stoppable will be able to bring her back."

James Possible studied this young man in front of him carefully. He noted the short black hair was parted on the left side and was still slightly damp. The young man blue eyes darted between the two parents while his smile seemed to be trying to say that all was right.

"I'm sure Ronald will look out for our little Kimmie. I'd still personally like to know where she is at." He could feel his wife hand move over toward his gripping it for dear life.

"From my understanding she wanted to deal with Monkey Fist and that's where we sent her. We put the young man in a faster plane then hers so he should make it to the destination a few minutes after her. I'm sure he will then be able to deal with it."

"I see. I'm also wondering if you noticed anything. Anything at all." The anger in James Possible voice was clear as he stared at the young soldier.

"Um...well she was a little strange. Wanted me to call her Kevin and said something about getting her body back. Don't know what that means." The soldier shrugged and then looked over confused as James's wife let out a soft cry.

"You let my little girl go on a mission after you noticed that." Mrs. Possible voice was full of accusation.

"Yeah...I figured it was ordinary."

"A teenage girl saying she is a guy is ordinary." Mr. Possible frowned at the young solider fixing him with his most deadly stare. Black hole deep deadly.

"Well most young girls don't go around saving the world you know. I figure she did this kinda of stuff on a regular basis."

"Even if I could believe that, how could you let a young girl go off to face a nut?"

"Hey in my defense you do the same thing. I'm not her parents you are. Now if you are both done shouting at me I have some important things to do."

With that the young solider got up ignoring both Possibles as he left the room. James was beside himself with rage until the last comment. It was the last comment that left James speechless as he sat back.

"He's right you know. We should never have let Kimmie do this stuff." James looked over to his wife surprised by her comment.

"What do you mean? It's who Kim is."

"It's also what's got her in trouble now James. What if she dies?" James noted the panic look in his wife face and he gently patted her shoulder.

"Don't worry Anne she takes too much after us to allow something like that to happen." James smiled at his wife as he looked off in the direction of his daughter. Worry evident on his face.

'I swear to all the Gods that might exist if my daughter is harmed I will make them regret it.'

Unknown to the Possibles the lieutenant they had just talked to was leaning against the door humming a nice little tune. He then walked off down the hall before disappearing around the corner.

III.

"Sensei you look worried." A young dark haired oriental girl approached the man sitting in front of her.

"Ah Yori-san good to see you."

"Sensei is it Ron-san?" The old man had to smile at his student's quick ability to grasp the situation.

"Yes my student. It is not something you need worry about."

"You know I care for Ron-san sensei. I'd like to know what's going on." The girl stared intently at the older man face. He had always been a sucker for a pretty face and relented.

"Alright Yori-san I guess you deserve to know what has me concerned. To put it simply Ron-san has decided to draw his sword."

The girl blinked at the older man confused. "You mean the lotus blade Sensei?"

The older man chuckled and shook his head. "No Yori-san. Not that sword."

The young girl just frowned at the older man. "I still don't understand Sensei."

"I know young one. I myself do not understand everything at play here. All I know is that young Stoppable-san has decided to act. Now it is up to Kim-san."

With that the old man leaned against the tree closing his eyes.

"I still don't understand Sensei."

"It is not our place to always understand. Sometimes we are just there to witness."

With that he slipped into a deep sleep. Trusting the true Monkey Master to know what to do. Even if said Master wasn't aware that he knew.

To be continued...

A/N: Damn quick series of updates. Had to write this one though because someone had to guess my end.

Happyendingmaybe: Damn you! You paid attention. Well there we go that should confirm it. Is that all there is to this story. Well I've got a few more chapters so we will see. On another note I'm happy that I left enough bread crumbs to lead to this twist of an ending. I hate when writers just throw a twist out of no where.

Me: Ok?

Conan98002: Will he? I don't know really. Can you tell me the answer?

Momike: Thanks. I try. Some though complained that I lost them on the last chapter. Hope this one clears it up a little.

Anyway just some notes.

1.Yes the Lt. that was with Ron and the Possibles is the same. Make of this as you will but I'm not ruining anything by revealing this. Its just one of those crazy little things in this story.

2.I gave away this part. Just read the past chapters and you'll see I'm telling the truth. I don't like revealing stuff out of the blue in the end.

3.Did Mr. Possible actually know where Kim was? I don't know looks suspicious. Note this is a hint that I didn't screw up that part.

4.I skipped over pointless stuff. Always have. Like Ron getting out of the plan and running towards Kim. The stuff that matters should be there. If not then I missed up. Simple as that.

5.Is Kim out of character? No. Just think about what's going on. That should show you that the character is doing what they should. As for Ron not being his usual goofy self. Well that's easy to explain. Ron is serious at points in the series especially when dealing with Kim. Look at Ron when Eric shocks Kim in the move StD. No joke there he just goes for the kill. Damn Shego ruined what probably would have been a good fight.

6. "You said Ron was going to kill" Yes I did. Will he do it in this story. We will see but the whole point is that Ron will kill someday. That is Sensei predication. You got to remember the characters will continue to live after this story. Unless I kill them of course.

Any way some complained about the previous chapter being confusing and going too quick. As I said before this was meant to be a quick story. If not I'd have to deal with Kim going crazy for 10 chapters. I don't feel like doing that. As for the confusing part it should all make sense. Guess I messed up somewhere. Hope this clear up parts and opens up new questions. Story should only have 2 chapters left.
