A.N. Normally I go the subtle route, but this time I felt like doing something…different.
Enjoy!

Ron launched his grapple hook and swung over a spike pit to the other side.
He ran down the corridor with no idea where he is headed exactly. His main concern was Kim's location and condition.
He stopped at an intersection and looked around him at the different paths he could take.
A sudden realization struck his mind.
'I've been here before!' he thought, 'And I've been going around in circles for the past hour!'
"Time is running out, Stoppable!" a voice in his head spoke, "Your friend is in dire need of your help and you are still not sure which path to take!"
"How am I supposed to find her?" he asked, "Every path I take leads me back here!"
"Call on the force, Stoppable" the voice said, "It can prove to be a powerful ally in the most critical situations" Ron looked at his hand and thought for a moment.
"How do I call on the force?" Ron asked but he got no answer.
His heart was now beating fast and his mind was not focusing, then Ron realized what Perfidious meant. Ron closed his eyes and cleared his mind, his thought focused solely on his best friend. He saw Kim in many possible situations; he then reached out to the closest one he had in mind, the Kim he knew was real. His eyes snapped open.
"Kim!" he exclaimed, "I felt Kim!"
"Good!" the voice spoke again, "Now go to her!"
Automatically Ron knew which path to take and he sprinted down that path. His legs although in pain with the entire running he'd been doing, still had an incredible strength in them.
Ron pushed open a stone door and he snuck into the icy and misty chamber.
"Kim? Are you in here?" Ron called.
He walked through the tight corridor entrance and made it to a wider area, where before him was a small doorway leading to another room.
Between Ron and the doorway was a lump on the floor within the mist. It was too dark and to make out the lump.
Then Ron could hear heavy breathing that echoed from the other room. It sounded almost like a dragon.
Ron crept towards the lump and noticed it moved in a breathing motion. He touched it and noticed it felt like a snowsuit.
"Kim?" Ron lifted it with a little excitement.
"Purt!" Ron cried, "What happened?" he asked.
Purt's face had frost all over it due to the cold mist and he looked badly bruised.
"You were right Ron," Purt coughed, "You were right…this place is cursed,"
Ron shook his head not understanding.
"I found Kim!" Purt struggled to speak, "She's in there," Purt looked over to the doorway where the breathing was coming from.
Ron held Purt tightly as he coughed some more.
"Hold on Purt, I'll get Kim and we'll all be out of here in a jiffy!" Ron boldly stated.
Purt tugged on Ron's collar as he coughed loudly, "Kim…to," more coughing until Ron lost his temper.
"What is it Purt!" Ron shouted, "What are you trying to say man!"
"It was Kim!" Purt cried, "She did this to me!" Ron's eyes widened as he was taken aback by Purt's statement.
"Dude, are you sure?" Ron subtly asked.
"She's been possessed or something!" Purt held his throat to stop coughing, "Keeps going on about the return of their empire and ruling the galaxy!"
Ron's shoulders slumped, "Sounds like Monkey Fist to me"
Purt shook his head, "It was Kim!"
Ron stood up.
"You're not serious about going in there are you? She's one tough cookie!" Purt rubbed a bruise that was swelling on his forehead.
Ron's eyes narrowed, "I've been down this road before," he entered the doorway and disappeared into the breathing mist.
The torches on the walls were lit, making this room probably the only one that seemed lively in the temple.
Ron walked to the center eyeing the individual giving him her back. Whoever it was definitely looked like his best friend, but certainly wasn't breathing like her. Standing on the stage with steps going down either side, the individual was looking at some ancient script on the wall, which made no sense to Ron whatsoever, wielding an ancient sword in her left hand.
"Uh, if you don't mind, I'd like to have my friend back now," Ron muttered, "We'll visit again another time!"
"They'll be back soon," The deep voice came from within Kim, "and when they do the prophecy will be complete!"
Ron's face showed no comprehension.
"The Sith have returned," Kim's body turned around, "their revenge is fulfilled and now they will come here to accomplish what they have started thousands of decades before!"
Ron shook his head, "You're not making any sense,"
Kim's glowing yellow eyes stared right into Ron and her teeth were gritting like Ron never imagined teeth could.
"Plans for the Sith to spread their empire to other galaxies were made here on this planet, but when the rebellion of another faction known as the Jedi left the empire in shambles a prophecy foretold by the Emperor told of the Sith returning here as strong as before to complete these plans!"
"And the time is now?" Ron scratched his head.
"Yes!" Kim's arms rose and gripped the sword in both hands.
"So, what are you doing?" Ron asked, "And why have you possessed my friend?"
Kim's smile grew wide, "You're just like your friend, you ask too many questions and interfere in affairs you cant handle!"
"Hey! I'm only completing a task here! And it includes saving my friend from the likes of you!"
"You're a sith initiate!" asked Kim's possessed body.
"And I'm here to destroy you!" Ron smirked.
Kim's possessor pointed his arm in Ron's direction and an electrical charge bolted right at Ron. He dodged it in time and rolled to a stand.
'I cant hurt this freak, otherwise I'd be hurting Kim!'
Kim's body floated into the air and levitated in the middle of the room.
"Young fool! Do you honestly think you can defeat a sith lord like myself?"
'Okay, he's a force user, fight fire with fire'
As Ron ran across the room dodging strikes from Kim Possible the dark lord of the Sith, Ro noticed a depiction on the wall showing some kind of floating character zapping a character holding some weird diamond.
'Coincidence? I think not! But what is that diamond?'
Ron continued relying on his Monkey Kung Fu training to stay calm and think up some source of that diamond. Then it struck him.
"Kim's necklace is a diamond!" Ron sprinted over to the levitating sith lord and held on to Kim.
Reaching for the diamond on her neck Ron was force-pushed across the room and zapped.
"Aaagh!" Ron placed the diamond in the direction of the lightning bolt and the necklace blew up in his face.
Ron fell to the ground and looked up at Kim.
"Honestly, child," The deep voice spoke, "What are you trying to do?"
"But…I thought!" Ron pointed at the depiction on the wall, "Its some kind of prophecy, isn't it?"
The Sith lord laughed hysterically, "What mockery is this!"
Ron crossed his arm over his chest and put on his annoyed brow.
"This is such a waste of my time," the floating Kim levitated to the ground, "Step aside child, I have a prophecy to complete" Kim raised the sword and thrust it into a giant keyhole then twisted it resulting in the room shaking.
Kim's body turned and looked at Ron with a wide smile, "Take your friend if you wish, I have no further use for her!" The spirit of the sith lord left Kim's body and hovered away laughing,"Sith initiate indeed!"
Ron rushed over to Kim's unconscious body and picked her up.
He ran out the room as stones began to fall and walls were deforming.
"What's going on?" Ron exclaimed hoping some ghost will speak to him.
Purt's body was frozen stiff on the floor.
"Purt!" Ron exclaimed, "Purt we've got to go!" no reaction, Purt seemed like he was forcibly frozen.
"No one gets left behind!" Ron lifted Purt's body and ran towards the stone door. It automatically shut before he reached it.
"Aw, Come on!" Ron attempted to kick it and push it but nothing worked.
He then closed his eyes and focused on the door lock. The door slid open and Ron left the room in a blur.
'Which way! Which way!' Ron ducked under falling stones and jumped large obstacles as he navigated through the temple corridors. The ground shook and the walls vibrated.
He then found the large door that tested Ron's abilities. Sprinting through it with all the strength he had Ron finally made it out the secret chambers. The shaking then stopped and Ron turned to look at the large doors.
"Ha ha! Who da man! Who the sith lord now!" Ron put Kim and Purt down and engaged in a dance routine, "I'm sith you're naught, I'm sith your naught!" then the shaking returned stronger than before.
"Oh, oh!" Ron ran over to Kim and Purt and picked them up, then a small stone that chipped off the ceiling fell at a great speed and knocked Ron on the head.
"Aew!" Ron turned dizzy and dropped Kim and Purt to the ground. He shook and rubbed his head and then looked up. Suddenly he was engulfed in a wave of stones. Ron could move no longer.
The temple continued to rumble leaving its victims unconscious dreaming about the recent events.
The sky was clear blue and the snow glistened in the sun.
Dr. Venture, Dr. Quarrel and their crew rode sled bikes and sled trucks over to the campsite. Which now had a new landmark in place of the cave. It was a palace.
"This is an astounding phenomenon, doctor," exclaimed Venture, "I sure hope Team Possible witnessed all this last night."
"I still didn't quite absorb any of this yet," Quarrel stated, "how could the cave suddenly transform into this giant palace in one night!"
"Believe it Quarrel, it happened."
"No, not until I have hard evidence," Quarrel insisted, "I've got a hunch Team Possible didn't do their job and some mad scientist came and planted this absurdity in front of our faces."
"Ha! You may have the mind of a doctor, Quarrel, but you still have the heart of an detective!" Venture mocked.
Quarrel's face scrunched up and he sat back in his seat the rest of the journey.
The team made their way to the entrance.
"Strange, not only is the camp abandoned but Team Possible is no where in sight either!" said Venture.
Everyone walked under the giant arch leading to the temple grounds.
"It's as though everything was just constructed yesterday!" Quarrel exclaimed looking at some of the statues and designs.
"Look!" Venture pointed at a fully dressed naked mole rat waving at them to come. They followed Rufus over to a large double door, "It's Kim and Ron!" Venture exclaimed ignoring Purt.
Everyone rushed over to the unconscious trio for aid.
"They're still alive," Quarrel looked up to Venture, "quickly, Venture, go call for help!" Venture ran over to the camp.
Quarrel looked over at the ancient computer panel, "Something mysterious happened here last night," he said as the rest of the crew rapped everyone up, "and Team Possible know exactly what!"
