Fiske ducked under Jenny's swing, and found her knee connecting to his jaw, which snapped his head back. He did several summersaults away from her and stood up, rubbing his jaw.
"Monkey ninjas, ATTACK!" he shouted.
Everyone looked around, but nothing happened.
"Sorry, Monkey Boy, but by now they're all safely in cages," said Ron.
"No matter. The day some skinny, pink-haired witch can beat me in a fight..." he said, and quick as lightning took the offense. He swung at her head with each hand, and she weaved from side to side to avoid the blows, backing up as she did.
Suddenly she felt a... hand?... grab her leg. She glanced down briefly to see one of Fiske's monkey feet holding her still. "Ewww..." she said, and glanced up in time to see him grin, and a fist hit her square between the eyes.
She slid across the gym floor and sat up, shaking her head to clear it. She stood up, a bit unsteadily, and looked at her opponent. He was shaking his hand to ease the pain, as hitting her there had hurt!
She jumped and grabbed him around the upper arms, causing him to lose his balance. "Wha...?"
he exclaimed. They landed with him on bottom, and she flipped up, hooking her legs over one of the parallel bars, grabbed his gi at the shoulders, and swung up, launching him in the air.
He grabbed one of the ropes and came to rest ten feet above her, one hand and both feet hanging on to it. "Nice move," he said, "But it didn't quite work."
She growled, and her hands glowed pink. 'No,' she thought, 'I'm not going to do any more damage to the school.' The glow faded. "Come down here and fight!" she shouted.
"If you insist, my dear girl," he said calmly, and launched himself at her.
Just as he got over her position, she dropped to her back, raised her legs and kicked him in the stomach, hard.
He WHOOOFed, and the arc of his trajectory was changed. He flew higher, flipping over, and fell flat on his back on the hardwood floor, which finished knocking the wind out of him.
She got up and grabbed him by the gi, hauling him up to a near-standing position. She hit him repeatedly in the face and stomach, and he was unable to fight back, getting more and more groggy as she rained blows on him.
He slowly reached for her, but she grabbed his wrist and gave a sharp twist. There was a crack, and he screamed. She'd broken his arm. She took a step back, still holding his gi, and gave him one final hard fist into the face.
She let go, and he staggered back and collapsed into the arms of Ron Stoppable. He groaned.
"Hold him, Ron," said Jenny, and launched a large hex that hit Fiske squarely.
A blue glow immediately surrounded Ron and Fiske. It faded from Fiske and grew brighter around Ron. Ron dropped his semi-conscious enemy, causing him to groan again.
"Oh, wow! I'm REALLY feeling it now!" said Ron.
"Ron, what's happening?" asked Kim, concerned.
"The Mystical Monkey Power! I have ALL of it now! I can feel it! I can tell!" he said, closing his eyes and reveling in the feeling.
Fiske rolled over onto his back, propping himself up on his unbroken arm. "Nooooo..." he said weakly, "It can't be! The Power MUST be mine! You can't take it!"
"Sorry dude, looks like your bad luck, because I already have!" answered Ron.
"Noooooo..." he said in a groan, and fell unconscious.
"Is everyone okay?" asked a familiar voice from the still-open doors of the gym. They looked to see Dr. Director herself standing there, followed by several large agents.
"Yes mam," said Kim, "But he's going to need medical attention," she gestured at Fiske.
Dr. Director turned and said something to one of the agents, who saluted and went back out.
A minute later two agents came in carrying a stretcher. They bundled Fiske onto it and strapped him down. Then they carried him out.
Dr. Director stepped over and looked at the statue. "Wade called me, and Sensei told me what that is," she said, "If you don't mind, I'll take it to hold until it can be returned to Yamanouchi."
"Fine by me," said Ron, "The fewer monkeys I see, the happier I am."
A large GJ agent gingerly picked up the statue, and went out the door with it.
"Good work, all of you," said Dr. Director, "And especially you, Agent Jinx. You've taken a major player out of the game."
"Thank you, Mam," said Jenny, unsure if she should salute or not. She chose not.
Dr. Director looked at Kim. "Don't forget to file a report."
"I won't," Kim assured her.
The Head of Global Justice and the agents left the gym, closing the doors behind them.
Jenny sat heavily on the bleachers, and Ron and Kim sat beside her. The witnesses gathered around her as well. Felix rode up and took her hand.
"Jenny, you still have everything you thought you lost," said Kim, and the others agreed.
"Nearly everything," Jenny corrected.
Just then Mr. Barkin came in. "Wheeler, I'm happy to inform you that the school board has reversed its decision. You are reinstated as a student, and I expect to see you here early tomorrow."
Jenny looked at the big man. "Thank you, sir. Best news I've had today."
"Getting them to change their minds wasn't easy," he answered, then grinned at her. "But I think them getting a word from Dr. Director helped." He turned and left.
"Jenny, that means you're back on the gym squad... if you want to be," said Mrs. Finch.
"I sure do," Jenny replied, "Thank you." She sat and thought for a minute. "And that leaves just one thing left to do..."

At Middleton Hospital, Jenny tapped on a certain door, then opened it. Madison lay in bed,
arm and leg in casts. She looked to see who was coming in, and gasped.
Jenny came in, closing the door behind her. She walked over to the bed. "How are you doing,
Maddie?" she asked.
Madison shrank away from her. "Are you going to hurt me some more?"
"Maddie, I didn't do anything! I swear! Tara was with me; ask her!" said Jenny.
"But everyone was saying you caused all that bad luck with your witch powers," said Maddie.
"Well, 'everyone' was wrong," Jenny replied, and told Madison the real story.
"So... this didn't happen because you wanted my spot?" asked Madison.
"No. I'd never do that to you, or anyone else. I don't use my powers for evil any more," replied Jenny.
Madison sat in thought for a minute, then reached over and took Jenny's hand. "I'm sorry," she said, tears in her eyes, "I was in a lot of pain, and didn't know how it had happened, and I just blamed you. It's my fault you got thrown out of school."
"Yeah, it is," said Jenny, "But I forgive you. You didn't know, and neither did anybody else. Everything's okay now."
"Still friends?" asked Madison.
"Yeah, still friends. Now you hurry up and get healed. You've got a lot of catching up to do with the squad," said Jenny.
Madison grinned. "I'll try."
The door closed softly behind Jenny.

When Jenny got to the lobby, she found Kim and Ron deep in a kiss, and Felix looking anywhere but at them.
She sat down in her boyfriend's lap and put her arms around his neck. "Hey," she said.
"How did it go?" he asked.
"Pretty well," she answered. "What about them?" she nodded towards the kissing couple.
"They've been at it for the last five minutes," he answered, "And I'm getting jealous because my girl wasn't here."
"Well, I am now. Want to try and break their record?" she asked.
"Sure," he answered with a grin.
And the two couples sat kissing until Mrs. Dr. Possible herself came down and shooed them out.
The End
Author's Note:
I had originally planned for every story with Jinx to have 13 chapters. But in this case I didn't have enough room to tie up loose ends, so had to expand it to 14. Oh, well, just a bit of ... bad luck?
Next: "Jinx's Decision" High school is now behind them, DNAmy has her sample, Shego is set for a rematch, and who is this orange-skinned, lime-green-eyed alien girl who wants to take Jinx away?
