Chapter 10

Once a demon… Part 1

Christine drove herself back to Ron's house; she drove the speed limit so she could think over what Trinity had said to her in the camp.

Could he really mean it? Is he being honest with me?

Their conversation in the camp replayed in her head

"Why use him for bait if you want me to assist you in wiping out the town anyway?"

"I would allow this Ron Stoppable to live, you will have him, and he will have you. Just as you always wanted it to be"

Christine pondered it over, she wanted to be with Ron but she wasn't sure if she should trust him, he has double crossed others before.

"If you help me, I will even see to it that you would personally kill Kim Possible."

"But he's to attached to her now, if she was to be eliminated, especially by me it would probably push him to the brink of insanity. Not to mention he would destroy me anyway"

"Then I'll arrange for you to be transferred out of your current body and possess hers, keeping him believing it is still her when it's really you"

She still wasn't sure; she wanted to be with Ron just as bad as she wanted to be with Arnie. But she sat dormant for roughly 30 years, did she still have the instinct to kill?

She wanted to kill, especially when she was alone with Kim, but something stopped her, but what was it?

She slowly realized that she was starting to grow a conscience, which was new territory for a car from hell.

Well, doing nothing for 30 odd years gives you a lot of time to think. But am I still the same old me?

She didn't have time to dwell on that question as her transponder was going off, meaning that Wade, Kim, or Ron were trying to contact her.

"Go ahead"

"Christine what's taking you so long to get back? You should have been back at Ron's ten minutes ago!" Wade protested.

"Well….um….lot's of traffic Wade" she hoped Wade would buy it, as it was currently ten in the morning.

"Riiiiight" she detected the sarcasm and disbelief in Wades voice, and it was vexing her.

"Why are you calling me Wade?" the anger was apparent in her tone, she hoped Wade caught it.

"We've got another situation; Monkey Fist has been spotted near the Middleton Museum, looks like he's after some sort of mystical monkey artifact."

"Monkey Fist? Monkey Artifact? You are joking right?"

"I don't joke Christine, well… not a lot anyway"

"Sure, right, now what's this guy's deal? He loves monkeys so much he has to be like 'The Supreme Monkey King' or something?"

"Yeah, pretty much. How'd you know?"

"Ugh, what the hell did I get myself into?" she complained to herself.

"Anyway, I've contacted Kim and Ron; I want you to provide them a lift to the museum so they could deal with Fist"

"Swell Wade, give me 3"

She depressed her accelerator down, speeding down the streets towards Ron's house.

A monkey man, just swell. What is wrong with these people? Does he have something stupid, like Monkey Ninjas that follow him around? He sounds so, Wack.

She grumbled to herself, finally pushing Trinity's words out of her head as she focused on the absurdness of a grown man wanting to be the ultimate king of monkeys, calling him 'a step in the wrong direction' among other things.

However, Trinity's words still lingered through her, slowly gnawing away at her.

Ron sat on the front porch of his house; Kim was pacing up and down the front walkway ranting about their new dilemma.

"Why is it always monkeys with him? Can't he try for something more evolved than Monkeys? I'm tired of all this monkey business!"

Ron just sat there with a quizzical look on his face; he'd never expect Kim to have an outburst like this, or even to be voicing his own thoughts on the situation.

He glanced over to Rufus, who was standing next to him on the steps.

The mole rat shrugged his shoulders; he didn't know what to make of it either.

"He must have some sort of mental problem if all he wants to be is a Monkey King!"

Ron threw his hands up in the air, as if he just had a realization. This caused Kim to stop her ranting and look at him.

"Finally, someone agrees with me!"

Kim raised an eyebrow when Ron started his soft fake sobs.

"Ron, what are you doing?"

"Kim, I'm so happy……..you and me are perfect for each other! It's beautiful!"

Ron started sniffling; Kim rolled her eyes before she let a couple of giggles escape her lips.

"Ron, we were always perfect for each other. It just took us a ferociously long time to figure it out"

He stopped his fake sobs and looked into Kim's eyes.

"Oh, why can't I have a sappy moment like everyone else? I had that down pat!"

Kim just laughed as she knelt down in front of Ron.

"You are so weird, but that's why I love you"

He gave her one of his lopsided grins as she came in closer for a kiss, only to be interrupted by a car horn coming from the front of the house.

They both grumbled as they turned back to see who it was that broke their moment, only to see the bright red 50's body that was Christine sitting in front of Ron's curb.

"Are you two done yet? We have some Ape guy to take care of!"

"Monkey!" they both yelled back in unison.

"Jinx! You owe me a kiss!" Kim added quickly.

"Ooo, Never win!"

Laughing Kim pulled Ron up as they started towards Christine, Rufus was now perched on Ron's shoulder as they got in.

"So what's with this monkey Fist dude? He has, like a psychological problem or something?" Christine asked as they shut the doors.

"Something like that, both he and Ron have been exposed to Mystical Monkey Power"

"Mystical what now?" Christine asked as they started towards the museum.

"Monkey Power, it's kind of a kung fu thing really, only I can wield a special blade that does what I tell it to do" Ron said proudly.

"Ah-huh" Rufus agreed.

"So, can he call the sword too?"

"No, he tried but Sensei said that I am the 'chosen one' and that the blade only responds to my call"

"Then why is he still trying to be a supreme monkey king if he wasn't chosen like you Ron?" Christine asked as she turned down another street.

"Don't know, he's too obsessed with this whole 'Monkey King' thing. He's probably trying to get something that is supposed to enhance his power"

"Very good Ron, I must be brushing off onto you" Kim mused.

"How could you not? Especially with your looks!" Ron started moving his eyebrows up and down, causing Kim to blush slightly.

"Down boy! It's time to get your head in the game Ron, Fist is probably going to want to take his anger out on you, so I need you to be in the zone for this" Kim said, looking at Ron with concern.

"Please be careful Ron" Christine added, causing Kim to give her radio a scornful glance.

"I'm ready Kim, he won't stand a chance."

Christine pulled into the museum parking lot, it was empty still as the town was under Martial Law until the other issue could be dealt with.

Ron cracked his knuckles as he exited Christine,

"Time for some smack monkey"

"Oh yeah!" Rufus squeaked.

Kim looked around the deserted lot, a feeling of unease came upon her as a light wind came through the area.

Why do I feel we're being watched?

"Kim, you alright?"

She looked back to Ron, who with Rufus was looking at her with concern.

"Yeah, let's get this over with"

They strode up to the main entrance to the museum, leaving Christine in the parking lot watching them ascend.

In the distance, across from the Museum and hidden from some overhanging brush sat The Car.

He was watching them as they pulled up, and saw the worry that appeared on Kim's face before she and the sidekick went into the building.

She senses my presence, to bad she won't sense what's going to happen next

He started chuckling to himself as he set his internal timer for roughly fifteen minutes,

"Fifteen minutes from now, the game is going to take a drastic turn, and there is not a damned thing either of you could do about it"

The Car started to laugh as he hacked into another closely guarded Wade device, one that was conveniently right across the street from him, sitting in a Red 58' Fury.

The Museum was empty, which again was of no surprise for the two. It made tracking Fist easier this way, as they could easily identify his maniacal laughter in the echo-y halls of the museum.

Ron followed Kim closely as they grew nearer to the laughter, while Ron was going to be the main fighter in the upcoming battle, he still knew better than to lead everyone in by himself. With his luck he'd lead everyone into a trap.

"NOW I WILL TRULY BE THE ULTIMATE MONKEY MASTER! HAHAHAHAHA!"

They both stopped at the corner to one of the exhibits, clearly hearing Fist from around the corner. Kim motioned to Ron who nodded. It was go time.

Christine sat impatiently in the parking lot, unsure of what was happening inside.

She never liked quiet moments like this, it gave her a chance to think, and thinking was something she didn't want to do right now.

"Hurry up you two!"

The familiar battle was being raged in Christine's mind again, as Trinity's words echoed through her.

"Dammit, Hurry UP!"

She couldn't take this for much longer, if something didn't happen soon she didn't know what she'd do.

The Car watched from across the street as he finished hacking into the device he wanted to.

Grinning to himself he checked the time,

Just another five minutes….

"Monkey Fist, still trying to be something you never will be?" Kim said as she stepped out from around the corner, Ron right behind her.

"Kim Possible!"

"Oy, why must they always act surprised KP? Do they expect it to be someone else?" Ron grumbled as he stepped into view.

Fist growled

"Ron, focus!"

"Stoppable, this time you will not stop me! For I now have the one possession that will make me supreme monkey master! The Tempus Simia!"

Monkey Fist raised the small stone headless monkey statue above his head, eliciting a large cry from his monkey minions.

Suddenly both Kim and Ron had a feeling of De ja'vu.

"With this ancient Monkey Idol, I can travel through time and prevent you from ever receiving My Mystical Monkey power, ensuring me to be the ultimate Monkey Master!"

"Dude, seriously. It's never going to happen"

"Monkey Ninjas Attack!"

With a thrust of his hand, Fist's monkey ninjas swarmed over Ron and Kim, the fight was now one.

"Ron! Stop Monkey Fist! I'll deal with these baboons!" Kim shouted as she flung one of the monkeys by its tail into another, sending them both flying back.

"On it Kp!"

Ron dodged some advancing monkeys as he pushed his way towards Fist, who was trying to head off with the Idol.

Ron slid under a diving monkey and clipped Fist's feet, causing him to fall to the floor and sending the idol skittering across the museum floor.

In a flash Fist was back on his feet, he pried a samurai sword from a mannequin and brandished it towards Ron.

Ron rolled out of the way of the advancing blade as it cut into the ground where Ron once lay.

Ron was on his feet in an instant as he dodged another swing by Fist.

"You haven't a chance Stoppable! It is my destiny to be the supreme monkey ruler!"

Ron's eyes flashed blue as in a blinding light the lotus blade appeared in his hands.

"Not in my life time Monkey boy!"

"Then, we shall make yours shorter" Fist said with a wicked grin as he lashed at Ron again.

Across the room Kim was holding her own with the monkey ninjas, however she was growing tired and they just kept advancing on her.

When she heard the clanging of metal she stole a quick glance over to the other side of the room, where Ron and Fist were engaged in a fierce sword fight.

The glance however would cost her as the monkey ninjas flew at her as a giant mass.

Kim let out a yelp as they forced her to the ground, trying to suffocate her with their fur.

"Kim!"

Ron blocked another attack by Fist before he started towards where Kim lay pinned, Fist saw his opportunity and struck. His blade cut into Ron's side as he strode away from Fist, eliciting a cry from his lips as he collapsed to the floor, dropping the lotus blade.

Ron writhed around the floor, clutching his left side. The cut wasn't deep or life threatening, but to Ron it hurt like hell as he tried to crawl over to Kim's aid, witnessing her start to struggle less and less against the monkey ninjas. A shadow appeared over Ron, who nervously turned over to face its owner, Fist.

For fifteen whole minutes Christine sat in the museum lot, waiting for them to return from those doors. What she didn't expect was a call on her lighter.

"Christine, are you there?"

If she could have, she would have jumped at the sound of the voice.

"What the hell do you want?" She asked, certain venom in her voice.

"He's in trouble Christine, he needs your help"

"WHAT!"

"Ron, he's in grave danger. You have to act, you're the only one who could save him now"

Her mind filled with thoughts and choices as the words sunk in. She didn't think this time if he was right or not, she acted.

"I'm coming Ron!"

Christine roared over the curb and up the steps to the Museum, aiming for the glass doors.

She smashed through them with ease, sending bent metal and glass shards everywhere as she put her headlights on in the dark museum, racing towards the end room.

Outside, The Car watched Christine's act as she smashed through the front of the museum.

"The beginning of the end is at hand"

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa babababbabababbbaabaaaaaaa!

Ron looked up at Fist, who positioned his blade just below Ron's chin, aiming for his throat.

"Your time on this world is over Stoppable, just as hers is" Fist started to go into a maniacal laughter when a large crash caused everything to go quiet.

This gave Kim the chance to throw the startled monkey ninjas off of her as she tried to catch her breath.

From the exhibit entrance, Christine skidded to a halt. In the dark museum her four headlights pierced through the room like fury filled eyes. Her form slightly backlit by the sunlight from the new hole in the museum doors, giving an eerie and sinster lookto her.

"YOU!" She called out.

Kim, who caught her breath now turned from Christine to where Ron was, seeing him on the ground with a bloody hand on his left side, and a visibly frightened Monkey Fist standing over him with a sword at Ron's throat.

"Nobody, touches my Ron, NOBODY!"

Kim was dumbstruck at Christine's words, but before she could start anything with her Christine lurched towards Fist, her tires spinning frantically on the marble flooring trying to get traction.

Ron was able to roll out of the way as Christine bore down on them, Fist finally collected himself and lunged over to where the fallen idol lay, just as Christine reached him.

She spun to her right, bringing Fist back into her deadly view as she slid sideways into several exhibits and taking out a few fleeing monkey ninjas in the process.

Fist was almost out of the room as Christine applied full throttle, smoke poured from her rear tires as she went after Fist, knocking over more displays in the process.

Kim took this time to rush to Ron's aid, with Kimmunicator in hand.

"Wade, Ron's been hurt. Get EMS and GJ over here now!"

Ron started coughing as Kim cradled his head in her lap, Rufus was on Ron's shoulder with a genuinely worried look on his face.

"Hold on Ron, please!"

"Kim, it's ok. It's just a scratch, really" Ron said.

He wasn't lying though, it really was a scratch, and it just bled a lot was all. Although this didn't stop Kim's panic.

"Kim they'll be there in 5, but there's something you should know!"

"What is it Wade!"

"It's the Car, and its advancing on the Museum!"

Christine clipped Fist's leg as he exited the room into another hallway.

Fist tumbled to the ground hard sending the idol smashing into the wall, breaking it instantly.

"You fool! You ruined my only chance to become the supreme monkey ru-"

"Shut Up, you pathetic example of a human being!" Christine shouted as she faced the fallen Fist.

Monkey Fist was propping himself against one of the walls as he lay on the floor, Christine was facing him directly, all four headlights cast their deathly beams on Fist.

Christine slowly advanced on the fallen Fist, her tires crunching broken glass with every advancing inch.

Her body was banged up and dented in various spots from the doors and the exhibits, her front bumper was bent slightly on the corners giving her a wicked scowl, and her grille was bent on numerous spots, giving the illusion of teeth.

"Please, I beg of you"

"I don't do begs, you hurt the one that means something to me"

"Stop-Stoppable? I-I thought he was w-with Pos-Possible?" Fist stammered.

"Don't You Ever Say That Again!"

Christine lurched ahead, bringing her left tire on top of Fist's right leg, crushing it under her weight.

She was now inches away from him and the wall, all that was needed was to depress the accelerator and all would be done.

Just then the far wall exploded, showering the hall with dust and debris. The shadow of a Car appeared through the dust.

"Do it!" Trinity called out, now watching the situation Christine was in.

She hesitated to move, causing more fear and panic to build up in Fist.

"DO IT, FINISH HIM!"

Christine's head filled with voices, of herself, of Kim, of Ron, then only one voice was in her head…..

"…you will have him, and he will have you. Just as you always wanted it to be…"

She pushed her accelerator down as Fist screamed in pain.

Her hood slammed into the wall as she felt the remains of Fist start dripping off of her bumper and grille.

Light laughter was coming from the Car as he witnessed Christine back away from the wall, allowing the remains of Fist to slump to the floor and looking at the blood and brain matter plastered onto Christine's front end.

"It is complete, now how did it feel?"

She pondered for a moment as she started popping her dents back out of her fenders.

"Invigorating, exciting"

"Good, you still have it Christine. Once a demon, always a demon. Now let's clean the rest of this town up, then you'll get what you want"

Christine finished repairing her damage as The Car finished his short speech.

"Lead the Way, the sooner Ron's mine, the better"

The twist of all twists, well, not exactly as I have another twist to go in this story (hence the title of Once a Demon pt 1)

Now what will our hero's do? Their only hope has gone to the Dark side, again.
