"I love you so much Kim."
"I love you too Ron, but it's not happening yet."
"It has nothing to do with this. We've known each other for so long, but I've kind of kept something from you."
"Come on Ron, we've never kept anything from each other."
"Well, I have."
Kim leaned backwards into the couch. "It isn't bad, is it?" The worry in her face was obvious.
Ron started to wave his hands around in denial. "No, no no no no no. Nothing like that, It's nothing bad, it's just kind of embarrassing. The only people who know are my parents."
"Well, what is it? It's nothing I can't handle."
"Well I, I have a..." Ron's confession was cut off as four very familiar tones rang from Kim's pocket.
"Hold that thought. Talk to me Wade." Kim said as she stared down into the small screen.
"We just got a hit on the site. The government wants you to check out rumors of a hidden lab on a small island in the south pacific."
"Why do they care, and why do they want us?"
"The lab supposedly belonged to Drakken, and the reason they want it checked out is that after interrogating him, he's revealed that he was working on a nuke."
Two mouths dropped in unison. "WHAT! That idiot was building a nuke. What was he thinking?" Her eyes misted over as she remembered the films she'd seen of Hiroshima. "I'm going to kick his sorry little..."
"Uh, Kim? He's in jail, and we should get going. Knowing Drakken, it's probably not built very well."
Kim nodded in agreement. "Right, grab your gear and let's go."
Kim was getting ready to climb down the ladder to the ground. "Oh, wait a minute, I have something for you." Kim pulled a small package out of her bag. "After the little Diablo incident, I figured you could use a link to Wade and me." She took a watch out of the box. "The screen is built into the watch, just click on the button marked W for Wade, or K for me."
Ron took the watch from his girlfriend. "Nice."
"Yeah, I figured you'd like it, c'mon we better hurry."
Several hours later.
"Thanks again for giving us a ride Mr. Nakasumi."
His assistant leaned over to hear what he had to say despite the fact he spoke English fluently. "Nakasumi-san says that it is the least he could do after saving him from that woman in the jet."
"No big, it was just skating across the surfaces of buildings while avoiding people and hanging onto you. It was really no problem."
Ron walked up behind her. "Are you always this modest, or am I just now beginning to notice?" He placed his arms around her waist and planted a kiss on her cheek.
Kim blushed a bright red.
"We're over the target area now Miss Possible. Shall we just let you off here like last time?"
"Please and thank you." Both Ron and Kim grabbed their parachutes as they prepared to jump from the plane.
The plummet was fine for Kim, but Ron pulled his rip cord after only a couple of seconds in the air. Kim followed suit. The wind pulled Kim above Ron and revealed something to her. "The Ron!" She yelled above the screaming wind. "I thought you got rid of all that stuff!"
"It's just a parachute! I didn't see any reason to get rid of it, who's going to buy a personalized parachute?" Ron yelled back to her.
Kim shrugged as she maneuvered to land on a small beach near the west shore of the island. They left their chutes behind so that they wouldn't interfere as they made their way through the thick jungle.
"Why can't he ever build lairs that are easy to reach. Always on a mountain, or at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, or behind a waterfall. Drakken is really starting to get on my nerves."
"Well, these things are supposed to be hard to get to. If it were easy, then they wouldn't have time to destroy the world while the heroes make their way to the lair."
"Yeah, but does Drakken know that? I mean come on, his last HQ was Bueno Nacho."
"Hmm, good point, this doesn't really seem like Drakken's style." A series of tones started to come from her pocket and Ron's watch at the same time.
"What's the sitch Wade?"
"What's the sitch Wade? Jinx, you owe me a soda."
Ron groaned.
"Get off the island now, I was scanning for viruses and found out I'd been hacked. The message was a fake."
"But, then who sent it?"
"I did, You will pay for stealing the power of the monkey amulet, and for my arrest on that ridiculous trumped up charge. I NEVER CLAIMED TO BE A LEMUR! And you Stoppable, I still owe you for my defeat at Yamanouchi."
Kim looked at her boyfriend. "What defeat?"
Ron looked decidedly nervous, "I really can't tell you about that. I made a promise."
Kim nodded, she knew that you should never go back on a promise, unless doing so could save somebody. "I understand, let's get this guy."
"Please, do you really think I would come unprepared?"
Ron grimaced. "Let me guess, more monkey ninjas?"
"After having Chippy betray me. NEVER! I have learned that I can only trust myself. I am done with amulets and magic. I thought the Lotus Blade was the path to true power. It's nothing but a crutch, you're welcome to it. I have found the true path now."
Monkey Fist began to sneer. His body seemed to blur and he disappeared. Ron felt an elbow catch him in the back. Monkey Fist dropped to one knee. "I hear that you and Possible are dating now. Now I can take my revenge in one fell swoop. Say goodbye to your girlfriend, she's dead."
Monkey Fist swung around and grabbed the foot that was flying at him. "Now now Miss Possible, did you really think I'd forgotten about you? Why kill Stoppable when I can make him suffer through an eternity of pain. All I have to do is kill you."
"No you won't!" The guttural voice that came from behind Monkey Fist didn't sound at all like Ron. "LOTUS BLADE! COME TO ME!"
Light flashed as the Lotus Blade flew at incredible speeds into his hand. "Let her go ape boy."
"Hehehe, do you really think I'm scared of that? I have far surpassed you in ability and technique. You can't touch me."
Ron seemed to glow with an inner power as he stared Monkey Fist in the face. "This is your last warning. Let her go."
"Never."
Ron charged forward. Monkey Fist threw Kim into the air and disappeared. Ron's eyes began to glow. Time seemed to slow down for just a second. Ron saw the leg that was heading for his stomach. Ron's arm moved faster than it had ever gone before. He slammed his hand into the leg causing Monkey Fist to fall to the ground.
Ron brought down the Lotus Blade right at his opponent's neck.
A hairy hand caught the mystic sword. A swift twist of his wrist caused it to snap cleanly in half. "Very good Mister Stoppable. It seems you have potential. I always enjoy a challenge, so I give you one month to prepare. I will meet you at Yamanouchi. If you defeat me, I shall let your precious Kim live." The man once known as Monty Fiske grabbed Kim from where she had landed. Then he started to do something completely unexpected.
He started to float.
Still holding Kim he flew into the sky. Ron's anger intensified beyond anything he had ever known. Waves of energy started to roll off of him. "NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
A bulge started to writhe around just under the back of his pants. The movement increased until the thrashing motion tore a hole through the back of Ron's trousers. A long furry tail was poking out of the hole. A large furry tail that had been there as long as Ron Stoppable could remember.
"AAAAAGGGGHHHH!" A young boy fell out of his chair screaming in pain as Ron's energy disrupted the very power of the Earth.
