Dark Hero Rising
Chapter 5
"Hey KP" Ron called as he moved closer to his best friend, who was waiting for him at the main entrance of their school.
"Ron" She called back, waving at him.
Suddenly, she stopped waving. Her smile faded and the face of happiness turned to fear.
"Kim, what's wrong?" Ron asked as he looked at the panicked face on the redheaded teen.
Kim didn't give an answer as she backed away slowly, before turning around and running.
"Wait, don't go" Ron cried as he held out his hand.
Some strange noise entered Ron's ears. Looking down at his outstretched arm, he found it to be encased in the strange armour that he had worn during his fight with Shego. The armour looked fine, but as seconds passed, it started twisting and melting.
"No" Ron said, looking at his hand, trying to push the acidic ooze that was his armour off "Why is this happening?"
Looking around frantically for something to pry the melting armour off, Ron met his reflection in the reflection of the school windows. If he wasn't wearing the helmet, he would have thrown up.
"NO!" Ron screamed, his voice gargling as he looked at his entire body withering and being eaten away "KP, KIM PLEASE HELP ME!"
The green eyed teen hero, who was hiding behind some bushes, took one last look at the corroding boy before running off screaming.
"KIM" Ron gargled as the mouth plate melted away, making him throw up both blood and melted flesh "WHY WON'T YOU HELP ME?"
- - - - - - - -
"Gah" Ron gasped as he sat up, his body covered in a cool sweat.
Looking around frantically, the blond teen found himself in the small room that was his quarters at the Yamanuchi academy. Feeling a source of heat beside him, Ron's memory of the previous night returned as he gazed down at the dark haired girl sleeping soundly beside him, her slender figure covered by the large and heavy robe she wore, and then took off. Ron looked around the room over again, making sure no danger was present, he cursed at the lack of a mirror.
"Ron-chan?" A voice called out as Ron felt two soft arms wrap around his stomach, not to mention a pair of naked breasts pressed against his back.
"Yeah Yori?" Ron sighed calmly, placing a warm hand over the ninja girl's own.
"Are you troubled?" Yori asked "I apologise if last night made you uncomfortable"
"No" Ron said, a little more intently than he intended "I'm fine and last night was something to treasure".
Turning to his side, Ron grabbed the girl by her shoulders and pulled her in for a deep kiss. Feeling the oriental girl's nipples stiffen against his chest, Ron broke the kiss and gave her a wicked smile.
"You know" Ron said devilishly as one of his hands traced it's way up and down the ninja's thigh, slipping beneath the covers "Master Sensei doesn't expect me for at least another hour or so".
"You have the sex drive of a grizzly bear Stoppable-san" Yori giggled as she felt her American lover softly pin her down on the futon, nibbling at her neck all the way down.

"Stupid Ron, bastard Ron" Kim Possible continued to curse her best friends name as she walked down the street.
"Hey girl" Kim's best female friend, Monique called out.
"Hey Monique" Kim replied in a pissed off tone.
"Something wrong Kim?" The dark teen asked.
"Oh nothing" Kim began, her arms crossed "Except for the fact that Ron just flew half-way around the world for a fucking booty call!"
"What?" Monique was shocked "That doesn't sound like Ron, wait, how'd he get across the world".
"I dunno" Kim snorted "Said some friends wanted to see him, called him 'Stoppable-san".
"Kim, 'san' is a Japanese expression" Monique said "Ron's most probably in Japan"
"I don't care" Kim answered "That son-of-a-bitch can stay with his japanese whore for all I care"
"Ease up girl" Monique stepped in front of her friend "This is Ron we're talking about, how'd you know his with a girl".
"I heard them" Kim answered angrily, pulling out her Kimmunicator "I'm sure Wade can give you a playback if you want"
"Back off Kim" Monique said with an angry tone "Don't start that shit with me, I'm not the one you're mad at"
Kim sighed shamefully as she rubbed her arm "You're right Mon, sorry"
"That's alright" The dark girl smiled "You up for a shopping spree, the best thing to get all your frustration out?"
"I'll pass Mon, thanks" Kim smiled half-heartedly "I think I'll just take a walk, steam off that way"
"K, catch you later Kim" Monique waved as she walked off.
"Yeah, bye Monique" Kim waved back.
Continuing down the side walk, Kim sighed as she looked across the street at the one place her and Ron spent together most of the time.
"Excuse me" A sort of shy voice called out, one which Kim barely heard "Could you help me, I appear to be a bit lost"
"Yeah, sure" Kim somberly turned around.
The teen hero's eyes widened as her eye's met the owner of the voice.
"You son of a bitch" Kim hissed as she snapped her leg out, holding the boy against a brick wall as her foot was placed quite firmly on his neck "I can't believe Drakken actually made another one of you"
The brown haired, slightly dark toned teen known to Kim as Eric stood there, choking as he tried to pry the strong girl's foot off his neck.
"Let…go" The boy weezed.
"Why should I?" Kim growled, her foot digging deeper against his jugular.
Kim looked the boy up and down, finding a small bandage on his upper arm.
"A bandage?" Kim scoffed "Drakken thinks I can be fooled by a friggin band-aid?"
Ripping the tiny adhesive strip off the muscular arm of the teen, Kim's eyes widened with shock as she watched a thin crimson stream dribble from a small cut.
"You're…bleeding?" Kim gasped.
The boy merely collapsed, holding his throat as he took in wheezy breaths of oxygen.
"I'm so sorry" Kim said as tried to help the boy up.
"Back off" He snapped, shifting away from her arms "You've done quite enough".
"I'm sorry" Kim whimpered as tears started leaking from her eyes "I didn't know if you were human or not"
"Of course I am" The teen said angrily, but seeing the quivering face of the girl, his anger faded "Look, how about we start over? I'll introduce myself and you'll hesitate from hurting me"
Kim softly giggled at the intentional joke the boy made "Okay"
"My name is Daniel" Daniel said as he presented her with his hand.
Wiping a few tears away, Kim held out her own hand "I'm Kim Possible"
"I've heard about you" Daniel smiled, shaking her hand "I moved here because of you"
"You did?" Kim asked, she still had the question of Eric to ask the replica.
"Yeah" Daniel said, looking around to see if anyone was there, he whispered "My family moved because of what happened to me a few month's ago"
"What happened?" Kim asked in a hushed voice.
"I was" The boy hesitated "kidnapped"
"Kidnapped?" Kim gasped, not totally believing this Eric clone was telling the truth, but better to fake it and see where he led with this story.
The boy looked away from Kim sadly.
"I don't know why they took me, but they just dragged me into a van, smothered me with a cloth and I passed out, when I woke up it was two days later, I was in some alley, the cops found me and brought me back to my parent's"
"That's horrible" Kim said softly, looking at the boy's expression, she concluded that he had to be the real deal, no syntho-drone could fake such raw and powerful emotion like Daniel was doing, nor could they bleed.
"So that's why we came to Middleton" The male teen said "Since you're so well known for defeating bad guys, the FBI figured this was the safest town to hide in"
"Well you're welcome here" Kim smiled, helping the boy up "Say, would you like to get something to eat Daniel?"
"Sure" Daniel answered, giving her his own smile "Call me Danny"
"Okay Danny" Kim said, leading the boy across the street.

"Ah Stoppable-san, I am glad you are here"
Master sensei smiled as he watched both Ron and Yori meet him in the snow covered training grounds. Due to the cold temperatures, Yori wore a heavy cloak identical to the one she left in Ron's room, her ninja garb underneath the wooly coat. Ron though was dressed in only the standard ninja gi.
"I trust you are refreshed?" The old master asked.
Ron and Yori shared a smile.
"I am master sensei" Ron said.
"That is good to hear" The aging man smiled, his smile dying quickly "Come, I have much to tell you, Yori, you are permitted to come along due to your recent 'attachment' to Stoppable-san"
The two teens blushed.
No more words were said as the elderly master walked outside the grounds and down a cleared path into a small chasm. A few minutes of climbing past jagged rocks and very deep pits, the three finally emerged from the darkness into what appeared to be a large cave lit by glowing candles.
"This, Stoppable-san" Master sensei began, his hand waving at the wall "Is the answer to your questions"
"What am I?" Ron said automatically as he glanced at the drawings and heiroglyphs upon the wall, their sight giving Ron a massive attack of dejavu.
"You, my young friend" The aging man smiled "Are what is known as a Guyver"
"A guyver?" Ron parroted, his mouth loose.
"Yes" Master sensai said "Our school was not just founded for ninja, but to protect these ancient ruins"
"Then that thing I touched" Ron began.
"Was the dormant form of the protector, you are the host to it now" The old man finished.
"What was this thing suppose to protect from?" Ron asked, he felt as though his entire reality was unraveling.
"From what I have deciphered, beings known as Zoa's" The wise ninja answered "They were horrible creatures that changed men into monsters, they brought destruction to whatever they touched, until finally the guyvers sealed them, and they left this world"
Images of strange ships flashed in Ron's head.
"That is all the text reveals" The man sighed "I wish there was more, but these markings are old, time has destroyed most of them"
"I understand" The blond teen sighed "I wish I knew more though, like how I can control this thing"
"I do not know much" The old ninja said "But I can at least teach you how to at least summon the defender to your aid, Yori will also help you"
"Hai, Sensai" Yori responded.
"Come my students" The short master called "You both have much to learn"
------------------------
"Dr. Drakken" A man in a business suit said.
"What" The blue toned scientist said sternly.
"I'm afraid the zoanoid factory was destroyed" The man said, placing a file of documents on the long table in front of the mad doctor.
Instead of lashing out, the dark haired man sighed.
"How long till it will be reconstructed?" Dr. Drakken asked.
"Normally it would take 2 years, due to the new data you had received that hadn't been programmed in yet, and the amount of money we would need to collect for new technology" The man stopped to look at the glare the blue man was giving him, a clear signal for him to hurry up "But the funds from the Rockwaller merger will reduce it to 9 months".
"Very good" Drakken smiled.
"You're not angry?" The cowering businessman asked.
"I have learnt patience" The blue man responded "What I haven't learnt is to tolerate bad news"
With the press of a button, two large men were summoned.
"Send him to the personal zoa-chamber" The evil genius said "I didn't salvage this technology from that fucking Chronos company to have it fucking inacessible due to someone FUCKING WITH MY FACTORY!"
The two men simply nodded as they dragged the screaming man to the much smaller zoanoid chamber.
-----------------
"Well well well" A slender figure hidden in dark said as it watched the screaming madman rant from the nearby building "Since that new guy upped and vanished, looks like I'll be taken down this psycho and his little monsties all by myself, when he's back to being a threat of course".
And without the slightest sign of movement, the figure vanished.
And another chapter bites the dust, you can see why I upped the ratings now. I told you all you'd never expect Eric, or should I say Danny, ever coming back. I know that my Guyver history isn't how the movie portrayed it, I haven't seen the thing for 3 years so I'm goin with a slight variation. Anyway, next chapter will be out soon, I can't stop writing this puppy. Don't forget to review – Wolvie.
