Well, here's the last chapter. I sincerely hope everyone has enjoyed what my one-shot has become. Believe me, I really appreciate ALL the reviews that came through. It's so nice to know that there are people out there that enjoy reading what I write. Be sure to read the epilogue…
Disclaimer: This entire story was created and written by me, but the characters involved related to the Kim Possible show, are not mine.
Ron's DecisionOne hour. One FREAKIN' hour! Can I make a decision this big in that short amount of time? I need help. Sensei didn't say anything about not talking to anyone about this… Should I tell Kim? What about Rufus?
As Ron tried to reason what his next step would be, back at the Yamanouchi School, something quite different was happening.
Not long after Ron, Sensei, and the rest of the group left, the remaining students were left to pretty much their own devices. A small group had gathered around Daichi's body, wondering what to do. It was as if someone had a hand cut off, but was still feeling like the hand hurt. There was still residual energies in their minds that Daichi had placed there when he had control of them.
Suddenly, without warning, Daichi's body began to rapidly dry out, and decompose. As the entire body turned to dust, the staff that was still sticking up in the air, which was held by his head, fell over, clattering loudly on the hard ground. It was then that all control that Daichi had held over the students disappeared.
Some rejoiced at being released, and others cried, at the realization of the things they had been forced to do. Eventually all of the students had been accounted for, even the dead ones, and order returned to Yamanouchi.
Meanwhile, back with Ron and the group:
"Uhh, KP?" Ron had jogged up to his girlfriend, as he had been lagging back a bit, while he was in thought.
"Yeah Ron?"
"I need to talk to you about something privately, before we reach the main road. Can you hang back a bit while we walk and talk?"
"Sure. What's on your mind?" The two started to walk slower, letting everyone else get ahead. They were still about 45 minutes from the main road, and Ron had about 44 minutes to come to a decision.
"I'm not quite sure where to start Kim, so I'll just lay it all out." He continued on to tell Kim about everything that Sensei had said about The Power, and what he must decide. Needless to say, Kim was a little dumbfounded.
"Kim… KP? Say something, please. I need your help here."
"I'm… not so sure I can help you with this, Ron. I mean…"
"But I do, Kim. I really do! Maybe you could just be sort of a… sounding board for me, as I talk this out. Maybe just having someone to listen will help. I know I can think better if I talk out loud."
"Oh… Kay…" Kim was looking at her boyfriend with a sideways glance. "Just, please don't ask me to make a decision for you."
"Deal. OK… Number one. Not taking The Power at all. I think this is a no-brainer. We… I mean I… umm… can't have it land in the wrong hands, at ANY time. Number two. Keeping it all to my self, and becoming like a God. Well, that would certainly have it's advantages, and disadvantages." Here Kim decided to speak up.
"Disadvantages? That would be awesome, Ron!"
"No, KP. It wouldn't. I couldn't stay here on the mortal plane. I would have to be away from you. I need you, Kim. Always." Ron took her hand as they walked, and squeezed it tightly. Kim responded the same, looking into his eyes.
"Third," Ron continued. "Having it split between you, Rufus, and me. This is the main reason I wanted to talk to you about this Kim. What would you think about having Mystical Monkey Power? Rufus and I already have it, but you know nothing about it. KP… we would be bonded to each other for life, and whatever is after. I don't want to ask you to throw anything away to do this. I don't think it would change our lives much in the long run. We would definitely be able to Freak Fight a lot better…"
Kim silenced Ron by suddenly stopping, and pulling him to her and planting a huge kiss on his mouth. Ron stood there, surprised by this, not sure what to say.
"Ronald Stoppable, you are just amazing! You're faced with a life changing decision that could potentially effect the world, maybe the entire universe, and you're still thinking about me!"
"Wellll… I… I…" He began to rub the back of his neck nervously. "I Love You, Kim."
"And I Love You, Ron. What ever you decide, I will love you, and I can't think of anything else I would rather do for the rest of my life than be by your side for the entire time."
"Are you telling me…"
Kim let out a sound of disgust. Her boyfriend could be so dense sometimes, even though he had all this Power inside him.
"Yes, Ron. I am willing to take the Mystical Monkey Power as part of myself, and you, for the rest of my life."
"Guess that means we'll have to get married, huh?"
"Are you asking, Mr. Stoppable?"
"Are you saying Yes Miss Possible?"
"Yes." They both said in unison.
Both had huge grins on their faces when they jogged up to the rest of the group.
"I take it you have made a decision, Ron-san?" Sensei asked with a little glint in his eye.
"Yes, yes I have."
"Good." Sensei continued. "By the time we reach the road, your decision will become permanent. There will be no going back."
About 20 feet from the edge of the road, both Kim and Ron began watching the distance close between them and the very distinct edge of the black top. By the time we reach the road, your decision will become permanent. There will be no going back.
The entire group except for Kim and Ron had already stepped onto the road surface. The two of them stopped right at the edge, and looked at Sensei with almost imploring eyes. Sensei smiled, and gave his Love and Peace salute, which meant all would be good.
Squeezing each other's hand tighter, both teens closed their eyes, and stepped onto the road at the same time. They felt… no different than before. Their thoughts may be a little more organized, and a sense of clarity came over them, but that was about it.
"What… No blast of fireworks? No Horns trumpeting?" Ron asked his girlfriend. She just smiled at him, as Joss and Yori had heard him say this, and gave him a quizzical look.
"Let us sit on the edge of the road here, and wait." Sensei said. "There will be a bus along soon. We can rest for a while."
After everyone found a spot at the edge of the road, a strange silence came across everyone.
Joss decided to speak up. "So… what exactly was Daichi?"
"Well, Joss," Ron started, "I'm not really sure myself. You know about the Mystical Monkey Power, right?"
"Of course I do!" Joss said excitedly. "Only you, Rufus, and your arch foe, Monkey Fist have it."
"Uhh, yeah." That's all Ron would say, as he wasn't sure how to broach the subject of Kim having it now. Kim seemed to agree as she mouthed the word 'Thank-you' to him. "Joss, have you heard of a comic character called Nega-Man?"
"Not sure. Whut does that have to do with Daichi?"
"There was a comic a while back that had this character called Nega-Man. He came from an opposite universe of ours, so he was a negative to our positive. That's kind of the way I look at Daichi. He was like the complete opposite of us and of everything that is good. I guess I could call him sort of a… Nega Monkey Power Man."
"Too long." Kim said, joining the conversation, even though to her it seemed pointless. "How about just… Nega Monkey?"
The End.
Hope everyone enjoyed. Be sure to read the epilogue…
