Well last chapter ended with a shocker
The 1st 3 chapters are going to be off, I edited them to make the new story fit instead of rewritting them, which would have been smarter to do
This is the last chapter that was edited! From here on out everything should be more streamlined and fit toghether better that the first two.
This chapter will fill in the rest of the flashback, then its back to good old Vietnam
I still don't own the rights to KP, they belong to Disney.
Now back to the story

Chapter 3
The Impossible becomes Possible
Middleton Vietnam Memorial
3 weeks ago
"Mr. Barkin! MR. BARKIN! GET OVER HERE!" Felix screamed to the crowd of students, Ron was still, he was on the verge of passing out from shock. Felix wasn't far behind him.
"Stoppable, what's going on? I want an explanation Now!" Barkin demanded looking at the two of them, the rest of the class was right behind him.
"S-she's Dead Barkin" Ron said, his own words driving a steel rod through his heart.
"Who's dead son?" Barkin asked as the students looked on, trying to figure out what was going on.
"Look for yourself Sir" Felix said as he raised a hand to Kim's name.
Mr. Barkins eyes went wide "Sweet Mother of Pearl" he clench his fists, Ron told him that Kim was stuck in some time period, but didn't know when.
Now we knew, and It mad me sick just to think about it. Mr. Barkin grabbed Ron and pulled him up.
"You ok son?" Barkin asked Ron, he tried to shake it off "I'll be fine, just give me a moment" Barkin motioned for the students to give him some space.
Ron put his hands on his head this can't be real, no fucking way this is real! Come on Ron! Wake up! Wake the Fuck up! GOD DAMMIT THIS CAN"T BE FUCKING HAPPENING!
Ron screamed. He couldn't grasp what was happening, it didn't seem real. Then Barkin placed his hand on his shoulder
"Son, you better look at this" He whispered into Ron's ear, Ron gritted his teeth, and turned around and looked at the engravings.
Just when he thought it couldn't get any worse:
KIM POSSIBLE, JANUARY 1969
DREW LIPSKIY, JANUARY 1969
SHEGO, JANUARY 1969
RONALD STOPPABLE, JANUARY 1969
"We're all going to die there" Ron said, his voice trembling. Ron felt Barkin Squeeze his shoulder. Suddenly it hit Ron, He grabbed the communicator out of his pocket and called Wade.
"Wade! If Kim's Kimminicator was on when she went through the portal, could you still be able to contact her?" Wade looked at Ron stunned.
"I-I believe so Ron, but why?" Wade was startled, but he saw his face and knew it was bad.
"We're at the Middleton Vietnam War Memorial, and Guess who's names are on it" Ron brought the communicator up so Wade could see the wall. "Oh no" Ron heard the genius say.
"Could you track her Kimmunicator if I went back in time to get her, so I know where she is?" Ron asked. Wade began typing furiously on the computer, "Yeah Ron, if you keep yours on when you go through I should be able to find her signal and send you the coordinates"
"Thanks Wade, pass the info to Dementor and tell him to build it double time, Ron out"
The screen went blank as Ron put the device in my pocket, all the students around him were staring, they just heard what he told Wade.
"Stoppable, I don't think going back there is a good idea, maybe if" Ron cut Barkin off before he could finish
"If I let my friend Die out there? Is that what you're suggesting I do Barkin!" Ron looked at him with rage burning in his eyes, He put his hands up "Just Calm down son" the students soon backed away from him.
"Kim I have been through a lot together, I'll be damned if I just sit here and let my Partners, One of my friends Die out there in the goddamned jungle!"
Felix was still by Ron's side, soon Monique was with him as well.
"Stoppable, listen to reason. If you go back you'll die for sure" Barkin pleaded.
"If I Die Saving Kim, Its worth it." Ron said, determination in his eyes. "Ron don't do this!" Felix and Monique cried.
Mr. Barkin put his hand up, telling them it was hopeless to argue with us, Ron's minds was already set.
Ron saw the tears in their eyes as they were still trying to keep him from going, Monique was the one that broke the silence.
"And What do you hope to accomplish by going? Huh? You trying to be Heroes?" Monique cried, anger in her voice.
Ron looked Monique square in the eyes,so she couldsee his determination.
"We work as a team, We Die as a team" Ron said to her. The words cut through the tension like a chainsaw through paper.
"Mr. Barkin" Ron spoke, looking at the man "You were in Vietnam correct?" Barkin was taken back by the question. "Yes Stoppable I was, What's your point?" Barkin asked back.
"You know how to operate, how to fight, how to survive there, I want you to teach me all you know, I want gear, to blend in there" Ron finished, the students were shocked, Barkin was stunned.
"Look Barkin, Either you train me to fight and live in those conditions to give me a chance to survive, or you let me go there unprepared and untrained where I will certainly die within a few days." Mr. Barkin sighed, he knew that he had to help him.
"Ok, I want to see you after school in my office." Mr. Barkin stood at attention and saluted Ron.
Ron did the same, returned the salute "Yes, Sir!" he said.
Later that day
Middleton High School
Ron was walking towards Mr. Barkin's office when an unexpected figure came up behind him.
"I'm going with you" the figure said, his words stopped Ron in his tracks.
"No, no way in hell are you coming with me Josh" Ron didn't even bother to turn around and face him.
"Why the hell do you want to help me anyway? Huh? Think it's the perfect spot to kill Kim's new boyfriend so you could take her back? Am I close Mankey?" Ron spun around, with both fists clenched, ready for a fight.
Josh put his hands up "Kim and I knew it wasn't meant to be Ron, that's why we broke up, you deserved her all along. I just don't want you to go out there alone."
Ron had a perplexed look on his face, "Why do you want to help me?" Ron asked again
"Because I can't do anything while I let my friends go out to die. I know you and I have not been on the best of terms, and I want to change that. To show you that you could trust me as a friend" Josh started to get tears in his eyes.
Ron bowed his head, he didn't want Josh with him, and he'd just try to take Kim from him,
Wake up you Moron! He doesn't want Kim! He wants to prove that he is a Friend! Someone to trust you Selfish Bastard!
Ron sighed and lifted up his head, "Josh, for Kim's sake I am willing to try to make amends with you, but be aware that this will be a tough environment for the both of us. I am going to be placing all my trust in you to cover my back, just as you are going to place all your trust in me to cover your back. What I'm saying is, Can I trust you?"
Ron looked Josh in the eyes with that last sentence, "Only if I could trust you with the same Ron" Josh opened his arms and the two hugged, this would be a trying time for both of them, they both needed each others trust if they were going to survive.
"Come on Josh, lets get to Barkins office" Ron said turning back down the hallway, Josh soon followed "Sure thing, teammate" Ron glanced at Josh.
Teammate? Oh god this is going to take some getting used to
The last bell had just rang as Ron and Josh waited in Mr. Barkin's office. The Rumors were already circulating the school about the events of the trip to the memorial, no surprise there.
Barkin entered the Room and sat behind his desk, he glanced over all the pictures he had in the room, war pictures from when he was in the service.
"Mr. Mankey, Stoppable here has informed me of what you plan on doing" Barkin looked Josh dead in the eyes.
"Do you know what you're getting into Mankey?" Barkins look tore into Josh.
"I am fully aware Mr. Barkin, I am willing to do anything to help a friend, and I do mean anything" Josh had his own determined look in his face.
Barkin leaned back in his chair "That's good Mankey, because you two will be facing unimaginable horrors, and have to make choices you'd never have thought you would have to"
Barkin leaned forward in his chair again
"Gentlemen, I've contacted some of my old squad members, you will have the period correct supplies ready for when you have to embark on your mission. For the next week starting today you will live, eat sleep and breathe Jungle survival. Do I make myself clear?" Barkin looked at us, seeing our determination.
I will not Fail you Kim, Ron thought as he and Josh responded in unison "Yes Sir"
A slight grin appeared on Barkins face "Good, Some of the gear is already out on the field. I'll see you two out there in 5. Dismissed" Barkin got up and saluted us; they stood and returned it as they left the room.
Ron and Josh walked down the hallway toward the football field, the halls still had some students in them who did nothing but stare at the two, like they were 2 dead men walking. Which they might very well be if the memorial is correct.
The two of them stepped out onto the field; Barkin was waiting on their arrival, in the corner of his eye Ron saw Felix, and Monique standing by the bleachers. They were shocked that Josh was with Ron, and even more so when they found out that Josh was going with him.
The two stood at attention in front of Barkin, He was wearing his military uniform and the football dummies were out with some kind of padding on them.
"Are we ready to begin training Grunts?" Barkin said with Drill Sergeant Style anger in his voice. Ron and Josh nodded "Sir, yes, Sir!" Ron knew watching all those War movies was a good thing.
"Good, Today you will learn how to use your rifles" Barkin grabbed 2 era M16s off the dummy rack and tossed one to each of them. He then gave them sheathed Bayonets and told the two to fix them to the rifles.
That entire day was spent practicing routine military exercises. Bayoneting, Firing, cleaning weapons, Obstacle courses the whole nine yards. They were out there for 6 or so hours, when it was practically night out Barkin dismissed them. They were sore, they hurt, but by God they weren't going to quit. Every time one of them made a slip up it was 50 pushups for both of them, because they failed as a team.
Every once in a while Josh would glance at the bleachers, it seemed that the crowd watching them had grown, apparently the word was well spread by now as almost the entire student body was watching them drive themselves to exhaustion.
"Ok, that's enough for today team. Be here at 7am sharp, tomorrow is going to be another long day." Barkin turned to leave when Josh spoke. "But, Mr. Barkin, we still have classes to go to tomorrow." Josh was trying to catch his breath. Barkin turned around to face him.
"Do you want to be ready for War, Mankey?" Josh swallowed "Y-Yes Sir" Barkin squinted his eyes at the teen "Then you will show up here to train, this will be your class. Am I understood Mankey?" Josh nodded slowly "Yes sir" Barkin got a slight smirk on his face "Good, see you here at 0700, Dismissed" with that Barkin left.
"Smooth move Josh" Ron groaned as he lifted the rifle and assorted other goodies Barkin left them. "You could quit anytime, I'll understand" Ron said praying that Josh would take the bait.
"You trying to get rid of me Ron?" Josh said standing up facing Ron.
He saw through that one dipshit, now you really are stuck with him
Ron didn't respond, he just turned and continued to lug the equipment over to his car. Loading all the stuff into the trunk, "Well Ron, are you?" Josh said as he loaded his stuff in his car, 4 spots away from Ron's car.
Ron slammed his trunk shut and got in the car, Josh was still standing there waiting for an answer. Ron rolled his window down "See you early tomorrow" and with that he drove off.
Ron was involved in his thoughts the entire drive back, trying to get answers to questions he couldn't answer.
This isn't going to work out; we are going to end up killing each other over there. Why is he really coming anyway?
This was going to be a long week indeed.
Middleton High School
6 days till deployment
Ron stirred sleepily from his car as he arrived at the school way too early for his liking
All for you Kim, I'm willing to suffer though unbearable early ness just to be with you
Ron grabbed the stuff out of the trunk, he never got a chance to tell his or Kim's parents what exactly happened, he'll tell Wade when he is already out there, save the drama till its too late he figured.
Ron stopped in his tracks as he looked at the vacant parking lot, vacant accept for one other car, a Bright Red Corvette.
"Goddamn it" Ron muttered it was Monkeys car. He's here; Ron would never be able to get rid of him at this point.
Agitated and tired, Ron finally made it to the field where Barkin and Monkey were waiting.
"Stoppable, on time for once I see" Barkin stated as Ron took his position.
"Surprising, I didn't think you had it in you Ron" Josh said, giving Ron a friendly ribbing.
There are many things you don't know about me Monkey boy Ron thought as he shrugged it off.
The next six days just kind of went by in a blur for the teens, it was training non-stop for the entire day. Rain or shine they were out there in the mud, dirt or whatever the elements were when they were training, always getting curious looks from passing students and staff.
By now the two's agenda was very clear throughout the school, there was even a bet circulating on if they would succeed, fail or just kill each other out in the field. But they never let it get to them, they just kept doing their training preparing for that fateful day when they had to go and use what they learned.
Ron's communicator went off. "Go Wade" the exhausted teen said, trying to catch his breath.
"Ron, Dementor just contacted me, it's ready. I told him your plan and he wants to meet you at the memorial in 2 hours"
"'Bout damn time, thanks Wade. I'll contact you then" Ron turned the screen off and turned to Mr. Barkin.
"Barkin! The Time has come" Ron said, Barkin and Josh picked up on it.
"We need to be at the memorial in 2 hours ready to go" Ron was about to go when Barkin stopped him.
"Not so fast Stoppable" Barkin reached for 2 packages on the nearby table, handing one to Ron and one to Josh. "You'll need these Uniforms, You'll get the helmets at the memorial"
Ron opened his package, it was a Vietnam era Army Uniform, and it had a rank on it along with Ron's last name "Sergeant?" Ron asked confused
"Corporal?" Josh had opened his, and was just as confused as Ron
"A Sergeant is in charge of a squad Stoppable, A Corporal is the second in command. You will have to rescue Possible with a squad of 5 others, and you will need orders from Command HQ. Those will be ready when I see you two off in 2 hours. Till then you two are dismissed"
Ron wrapped the package up again and started to gather all his equipment up.
He was soon in his car and heading home to prepare for the war he was about to join.
The Day they had trained for had Finally come.
Middleton Vietnam War Memorial.
Ron and Josh stood there in the center of the Memorial, all dressed in their military olive drab colors with guns in hand. Barkin showed up with another package in his hands, behind him were Felix, and Monique.
"Sergeant Stoppable, Corporal Mankey" Barkin saluted; The two retuned the salute "Sir!"
"I have one more package for you two, here" He offered Ron the package, "Its for when you get to Possible, So that she would fit in there" Barkin had tears forming in his eyes.
Ron opened the package; There on the shirt it read Lieutenant Possible, Ron quickly wrapped it back up and put it in his pack. Felix came up with papers in their hands
"Here, so this way you can fool the top Brass" Felix said, his voice was trembling. The papers looked like official orders to rescue a downed U2 spy plane Pilot who answered to Possible. Ron smiled at the papers and looked at the group, his closest friends other than Kim, stood there to see him off to our fate. Dementor showed up with the device.
"Here You go, I wish the both of you good luck" Dementor handed Ron the device and shook his hand, Ron could see he knew the courage it took for him to do what he was about to do, all for love.
They started with the goodbyes; Everyone was in tears at that point.
"Get your asses back here ASAP!" Demanded Monique
"Stay Alive out there" Felix said
"Go get her, bring her back, and don't die on me" Barkin said
Ron and Josh wiped their eyes as Ron turned the communicator on, "Wade, its time" Ron said as he put it in his chest pocket. Dementor had already set the correct time, Ron activated the device revealing the same blue portal that had taken Kim away from him a week ago. "We will be back" Ron said as they stepped into the portal.
Towards Kim, towards rescue, towards their Fate.
