Aokigahara forest, Japan, hidden cavern

Monty Fiske, also known as monkey fist, finally entered the hidden cave. He had been searching for it for several years off and on. He thought it was just a myth, a legend written about to scare children. Now he knew it was not the case. Not only did this place have faint signs of worship, but he could feel the power it held. He hoped he was not just setting himself up for yet another massive disappointment. He had been following many leads in an attempt to finally one up that impostor.

"The chosen one." Monte was practically forced to spit on the ground in disgust. He had devoted his entire life to Tai Shing Pek Kwar, he gained the mystical monkey power, and he was going to become even more powerful through the use of magical monkey artifacts, only to be stopped by some bumbling fool of a boy. Last time they fought to his knowledge he hadn't even begun any significant amount of training. Monty was honestly convinced that this had to be some sort of sick cosmic joke.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It didn't matter anymore. If the legends really were true he would have all the power he would ever need. Not even the stolen power Stoppable had attained would be enough to stop him. Monte took a glass ball full of mystical monkey power and shattered it on the ground. Apparently you needed a sufficient amount of energy in one place to attract Yono's attention. He could have absorbed it himself but he wasn't even sure if it would be enough. Stoppable needed to be crushed. Not have an even fight. He wanted to leave nothing to chance.

Monte got onto his knees but kept his head high. "Great Yono, I am not sure if you can hear me, but if so I have come to summon you. Help me defeat mine enemy, and you shall be free to roam this earth and reign terror once more."

There was no way to fully explain the feeling that came over him. The air just felt a bit heavier. The area fell nearly silent, which was saying a lot given that he was surrounded by part of his monkey ninja army near him. The area seemed to get ever so slightly darker, then he heard a deep voice speak.

"You wish to follow the path of Yono?"

He lowered his head and bowed until his forehead touched the ground. "I do. Whatever your wish, I shall follow it."

"All I wish is that you follow this path until the end. Rise young one."

Monte smiled while his forehead was yet still on the ground, then wiped it away as he slowly rose. His destiny was standing right before him. He looked upon yono and was befuddled to say the least.

"Uh, you're Yono?"

"I am"

He stood and looked down at the supposed unltimate destroyer. He was actually shorter than some of his monkey ninjas. "Aren't you a bit….small?"

"And my height has what to do with my power?"

From what he could see Yono didn't actually seem angry at the comment, which only led credence to his initial thought given Yono's reputation. "I was just expecting more I suppose."

"Oh? would you care for a demonstration?" He said with a smirk.

"Of course. Of course. Although to test your capabilities I would put you against my Monkey ninjas. They are exceptionally well trained."

Yono chuckled as he knew he was being underestimated, but he allowed it. Seeing his summoners face in the coming moments was always his favorite part. "Time for a light show."

Monte ignored him and waved his monkeys on to attack. He just assumed this was another failure. Back to the drawing board. It wouldn't be the first time that destiny spat on him, and he doubted it would be the last. While he was tossing ideas around in his mind for his next scheme the cave began to light up with a yellow glow, when he looked back at yono he had already dispatched with his monkey ninjas using some form of energy lightning. It seemingly took him no effort to generate such power. In a combination of crawling and running his monkey ninjas scampered back behind him.

"Astounding!" he said, awestruck.

"I aim to please my summoner."

He rubbed his chin before speaking. "How much more powerful can your blasts be. You seemed to be holding back quite a bit on that attack."

"Let's just say you would not be safe in this cavern if I put in much more effort. You will see it in full when we are destroying the object of your desire."

"Good. Very good. Although I would see a bit more now. Against a worthy opponent." he said while stepping forward.

"Sorry for the shock." Yono said jokingly, although before he could get any serious amount of charge up his summoner interrupted him.

"I wish to see how you fare in hand to hand combat, No force lightning this time."

"As you command."

Without anymore fuss Monte began his attack. Usually his fighting style allowed him to get a few hits in even if his opponent was more skilled, but his attempts against this opponent were simply an effort in futility. It almost seemed as if it was just a game for Yono due to the slightly amused look on his face. Within moments he was proven correct, as soon as Yono grew tired of playing. The next time he took his back he swept his legs. Monte hit the ground with an emphatic thud which caused him to blink. Once he reopened his eyes there was a fist in his face, although Yono had given pause.

"I would assume that is enough, unless you would like me to demonstrate the physical strength I possess as well."

While Monte's back didn't appreciate the demonstration, a large smirk grew on his face. His destiny stood before him. "No, that is enough."

"If you truly wish to follow the path of Yono, stand and take my hand."

He did as commanded. A split second later he felt something begin to course through his body. Initially he thought he had been betrayed and was seconds away from death, but he soon perished the thought. He felt….powerful. This is what he needed to defeat his rival. After he was released from Yono's grip he gazed upon his own form. His aura was yellow, and the back of his hands bore a glowing yellow circle containing a monkey. He felt as if he could take on the world. And soon, very soon, he would.

"Are you sure this is legit Ron? Graduation is only a few weeks away. Kinda don't want to be stuck here for the next week or two only to have nothing turn up."

They were currently closing in on the Yamanouchi school in a helicopter. GJ was doing them a favor, they said if its enough of a threat for us to be concerned then it should be a concern of theirs. No questions asked.

"Come on KP, I told you Sensei's visions are always on point." Ron said

"And if they're not we still got a nice vacay in Japan."

Kim furrowed her brow at Bonnie, but responded to Ron. "I really don't get what you see in her."

"Yeah," Bonnie stepped in front on Ron and sat on his lap, making sure to wiggle just a bit on his member as she sat down. After she was sure she had his attention she brushed her hair to one side and leaned back. He claimed that he loved her scent, and he didn't appear to be lying as he seemed to sniff her involuntarily. "I wonder what he sees in me."

"I think I'm beginning to have feelings, since at that moment I'm pretty sure I felt disgust." Josh said

Kim giggled while Bonnie rolled her eyes. It seemed that instead of learning to be more emotional, all Josh learned to do was become a sarcastic ass. Kim noticed Ron leaning over the pilots seat pointing at a location, which could only mean one thing. She signaled for them to get ready to jump off. They immediately stopped goofing off and put on their game faces. If Ron was right they would be in for the fight of their lives. The helicopter got them fairly close to the ground before they jumped out into the courtyard of the school. It was empty so they watched the helicopter fly off into the distance. When they turned back around Yori was already there with a smile. Everyone seemed to jump except Ron.

"How did you do that?"Josh said, slightly aggravated that after all those years of training he had his back taken so easily.

"Do what?" Yori said

In that moment everyone groaned besides Ron. Maybe the people trained here really didn't understand that they were essentially appearing out of thin air and scaring the hell out of everyone, since Ron did the same thing every day and acted confused when they were jumpy. Every. Single. Time.

Waving off his question, Yori greeted them. "Welcome Stoppable-san and friends. Thank you for coming to help us in our great time of need.

"You know I wouldn't just leave you guys hanging Yori. The same for KP."

Yori smirked before turning to Bonnie. "You must be BonBon-san. It is an honor to meet you. I have heard much about you." Yori then put her fist into a flattened palm and bowed.

Bonnie rolled her eyes and smiled at the nickname that seemingly an entire group of ninjas thought was her name, but reciprocated the bow the way Ron taught her to. "It is also an honor to meet you Yori. I heard you were Ron's best friend here, I'm surprised you could put up with his goofiness though given how serious you seem to be."

"Goofiness? Oh you mean his buffoonery and American style jokes," Yori laughed "Stoppable-san is quite funny."

"Now that you mention it he does do I lot of buffoonery, I thought it was part of an act or something."

Ron's eyebrow twitched. "Hey? Hello? Standing right here."

"Oh! You are right. We should not be simply standing here. Let me take you to the master."

Ron reached out as Yori turned around but she was already skittering off. He hated the language barrier sometimes. He just followed, as did the rest of the group. Sensei was waiting inside the dojo. He couldn't quite see under his large mustache but he just knew he smiled when he saw him.

"It is good to see you once again in a physical form, and even new faces."

They bowed before sensei. When they rose they noticed Yori was slightly unnerved.

"What's up Yori?" Kim said.

"Your friend….he reeks of much death."

"I'll take that as a compliment." Josh said flatly

"You are aware of this?"

" Josh had a bad past and was forced to do certain things. He's good now though." Kim said. Yori looked as if she didn't quite believe her. "I'm serious."

Sensei put his hand on Yori's arm. "Not all streams have clean sources. What truly matters is how it changes along the way."

Yori bowed her head and quelled any doubt she had. "Yes sensei. I understand."

"Now that we got the introductions out of the way, are you sure Yono is going to show up soon? I believe you, but KP doesn't. "

"I felt a great evil rise yesterday. I am sure. Are you sure you are ready for this task? It is likely to be quite perilous."

"I was trained by the chosen one himself, I'm as ready as I can be." Bonnie said while grabbing Ron's hand.

"Josh and I have been training too. This great evil thing is going down."

Ron, however, was not so confident. "I've been training for years and I'm still not sure if it's enough. Are you sure I can't take these weights off yet?"

"You will know when it is time Stoppable-san. Did you perfect the endurance training?"

"As much as I could in the last few weeks. I can do some cool stuff but I still don't think it's enough to beat Yono. When I felt his power it was immense, I almost drowned in it. I couldn't have grown that much over the past few months."

Yori and Sensei gave each other small knowing smirks that went unseen by the rest of the group, but Sensei humored him anyway. His confidence in this event was paramount. "What would make you more confident in your victory Stoppable-san?"

Ron placed his hand on one of the pockets of his cargo pants. "I think I'd feel a bit better if we had one more person standing with us. I don't want to leave anything to chance."

Bonnie laughed softly, knowing exactly what was coming next. Kim raised a quizzical eyebrow. "Who else do you know that could help us right now? Are you sure you want to put someone else in danger?"

"I don't think they'll mind. I think they've been waiting for this for a while."

Ron had no idea how she did it, but Shego arrived within two hours. The hovercraft must be pretty advanced to get her here that quickly without any form of injury. Even with super durability experiencing that amount of speed with no protection would be at the very least exceedingly painful.

He gulped a bit when she stepped off, but it was not fear that caused the reaction. It wasn't exactly a state secret that he found her ridiculously attractive. He probably even said a couple of flirty lines to her on missions without even thinking about it before he got with Bonnie. Today she looked different. Usually she seemed kind of bored on a good day, and he had never seen her smile unless it was of the sadistic variety, yet here she was with a little smirk on her face, seemingly excited to face this world threatening evil.

Shego seemed to work on autopilot, as soon as she stepped off the hovercraft she walked a little too quickly to Ron and wrapped her arms around his neck. Kim swore she heard her hum. She had a feeling she knew why but it didn't quite make sense to her. A few seconds later she seemed to remember that other humans existed on the planet and quickly let him go. She almost looked ashamed of herself, the green blush didn't help matters at all. Kim looked to Bonnie expecting some sort of reaction but there was none. Almost as if on some level she expected this. Kim at least expected a smack on Ron's arm or something for not pushing her away.

"H-hey possible." Shego stammered out

Whatever that was, if Bonnie wasn't bothered then for the time being Kim was going to gladly ignore it and act as if nothing happened. "Hey Shego. Haven't heard from you in a few months. Hardly a peep from Drakken either."

"I wanted to lay low for a while." Shego said, mustering her confidence back up to its normal levels.

"Right after your fight with Ron right?"

"Yes." Shego said. The growl in her usual voice coming to the forefront.

"Kinda weird. Did you stop because you're afraid of him?"

"Are you saying I'm afraid to fight him again!?"

"I mean, if the shoe fits." Kim said without a second thought while checking her nails.

"I'll fight him anywhere, ANY time." Shego said. Now in Kim's face. From an outside perspective it looked like a puppy taunting a roaring lion.

"Well it is easy to say that when we're on a mission. You'll probably just leave right after anyway."

Shego practically snarled before looking around at who was present. Her eyes landed on Sensei and Yori, they clearly stayed here and this was clearly a dojo, which meant they knew this area. "Where can me and monkey boy fight without worrying about breaking anything?"

Ron interjected himself into the conversation that was about him, yet he seemingly was not a part of. "Uh, sensei, how long do you think we have until Yono shows? I kinda want a rematch but I don't want the world to end over me sparring."

"I do not feel as if Yono is near. He will likely make his move tomorrow at the earliest. You can fight in the forest, there should be an area near here without many trees."

Yori whispered to sensei "Master did you foresee this?" One of his cheeks slightly upturned and she had her answer.

Shego growled at Kim one more time and told Ron to follow her as she walked away. Kim smiled as they had her back turned, and Bonnie took notice.

"Is there a reason you pissed her off on purpose?"

"I've never really seen Ron or Shego try in a fight. If the fight was as even and ridiculous as you said she's probably been training just as much as him. I want to see it too."

"A fighter's interest." Josh said

"Exactly."

Honestly, the scene appeared as if it was out of some action film. Two people standing at least twenty feet apart, Shego's hair was blowing in the strong winds of the mountain. Her rage had subsided completely and she had a smile on her face. Softly moving some hair behind her ear with her hand without a thought. How she got to this moment wasn't ideal but Kim's thought was correct, she loved a good fight. Ron stood opposite of her, despite his initial reservations he thought he would enjoy this fight as well. Bonnie simply told him to have fun and not to worry about freaking her out since he knew he got worked up when he fought. He didn't understand what she quite meant but he said alright. Everyone else stood to the side and gave them a wide berth. It would be interesting to see given how long it had been since their last fight, and how ridiculous Bonnie said that fight was.

"i've been thinking about you and me for a while. This day. In this moment. It's almost perfect really. That was the first real fight I ever had."

"Heh, I guessed that. I'm also guessing by the fact that you're not scared at all that you've trained a lot since then." Ron said.

"I'm never scared of a good fight Stoppable."

"I've been training a lot too, hopefully it's not too much for you to handle." He said, clearly trying to rile her up a bit as a smile grew on his face. The reaction was not the same as the one she had with Kim however. He could quite place what emotion she was feeling besides the obvious amusement, but he knew it was good.

"You never know, I can handle a lot Stoppable."

They both paused and blushed at the innuendo, but just as quick as it was there it was gone. "I won't think less of you if you back out now. I already know I'm a freak in terms of strength on this planet. You don't have to put up with it."

"If you're a freak, then we are one in the same Stoppable."

"I guess so." Shego started walking towards Ron, it seemed to be only to get closer, as she didn't have her guard up or anything. "Oh, you're approaching me? Instead of running away you're coming right to me?"

"I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer Stoppable."

Ron had a very short but loud laugh at her response. "Oh? Then come as close as you like."

As Shego walked towards Ron, Kim simply had to comment to Bonnie. This was quite ridiculous. "Are you really just going to sit here and let him flirt in front of your face? She practically made herself a piece of clothing for him earlier and you had no reaction."

"They have this weird vibe when they're near each other, I'm not worried about it."

Kim was still concerned but turned her attention back towards the pair. They seemed to be saying something to each other with their eyes, although she couldn't read it. They were roughly ten or so feet apart now. After a few seconds Ron stomped on the ground with his right foot, they felt a decent shake but nothing. Massive. He didn't leave a large dent in the ground so she assumed that he was holding back. Shego smiled and did the same. They felt essentially the same level of vibration. This might actually be closer than Kim thought. Shego didn't seem to put in much effort either.

If Kim was next she wouldn't have been able to see Shego move, she was sure of it. One second she was standing there, the next Ron is crashing through a tree a few dozen feet away from his current location. As if it was some sort of comedy the tree landed on him. Kim Immediately tried to rush to his side but as soon as the thought entered her mind Bonnie put an arm in front of her. A few seconds later the tree was picked up and shoved to the side.

"Ow." Ron said in a deadpan voice. "You have been training. You couldn't hit that hard last time."

"That was just a taste. Why don't you come here so I can give you some more?"

Happy to oblige, Ron stood and ran as if he was going to punch her, but performed a feint and went for a leg sweep. She hopped over it, and planted her feet once again, only to still feel something sweeping her leg. She looked down once her back hit the ground and saw his damn tail wrapped around her ankle. Sometimes she forgot the thing existed since he kept it wrapped around his waist so often like a belt or something. She didn't have much time to ponder this however, as he quickly released her ankle and raised his foot as if to step on her chest. She quickly raised her hands to catch his stomp. It was quite the strain to try to hold that back, and she swore she left a small crater in the ground, but she didn't really have time to look around. He had the leverage, it didn't help that he was possibly physically stronger even with her training the past few months.

Shego let go with one hand and tried her best to hold up her foot with the other. She charged her plasma for a second and aimed it at his chest. He seemed to dodge it instinctively but it allowed her to stand up again. She'd have to watch out for the tail. It was like a damn fifth limb.

"You really did train a lot. That stomp would have overpowered you for sure last time."

"I did say I was picture this moment for a while. I visualized our next fight every day."

"So, did you just train physically and visualize beating me up?" Ron said with a smirk

"Actually, I prepared something special just for you Stoppable." Shego hopped back and placed both hands near each other but not quite together, a green ball began to form, it appeared a bit brighter than her normal blasts and the black spots were a bit smaller.

"That's new." He said

"something new, something blue." She mumbled

"Uh, sorry what did you say? Couldn't hear you over the wind and the plasma ball charging thing."

"I said you're going down Stoppable! No draws this time!"

Honestly, he could probably find a way to take her down hard given how long this was taking to charge, but that wouldn't exactly be in the spirit of competition. It was obvious this was meant to be an all or nothing, so he would take it head on. He gained a blue aura that was visible even from afar, and over the next few seconds the plasma ball continued to increase in size.

"Kim I've seen your battles while I was studying you. Aren't her normal blasts able to leaves holes in walls, break apart stone pillars, and stuff like that?" Josh asked Kim.

"Yes."

"And aren't those blasts normally a tenth of the size of that one if we're low balling the size of that ball?"

"Yes. What exactly are you trying to say Josh?"

It seemed like Ron was beefing up his energy as well. As soon as his aura flared their hair blew and they heard The nearby trees rustle. Kim looked at Shego to see if she held an ounce of fear. She stood, smiling, arms shaking trying to hold her ball of plasma together. Of course the idea of a stupidly powerful opponent would make her happy.

"Maybe we should step back a few feet, or ten, or twenty." Kim said. Sensei and Yori nodded in agreement and they walked a fair distance away from the action.

Meanwhile Shego was finally prepared. She had never actually made one this big during training. Her arms were shaky as it was so hard to hold it together. She would likely be a bit sore later but she didn't mind. She loved this. "Ready to lose Stoppable?"

"You're the one who should be ready, because you're going down!"

Shego raised the ball a bit so a bit of the light was reflecting off her face. Ron thought it was because she was preparing to throw it, but in reality it was because of his unintended innuendo. She held it up to hide her blush. She growled at how easily he was able to fluster her, completely unintentionally. She had one last trick that she hadn't used against him, and she hoped it gave her what she needed to win. He probably expected to be able to dodge it since she would have to throw it rather far to not damage herself as well, but while she was throwing the plasma ball towards the ground she actually jumped and shot plasma from her feet to give her jump a bit of a boost. As soon as it hit the ground it exploded, causing her to tumble through the air until she hit the ground. Dust was everywhere. Everyone was coughing and waving their arms trying to clear the dust away from themselves.

A few seconds later the dust cleared. Shego was slowly getting to her feet, and there was a giant crater where Ron previously was. The operative word being was. The crater had to be at least several feet deep. Kim and Bonnie quickly ran over and looked in, Sensei held Yori back when she tried to rush in as well. They looked down and saw nothing. Kim shot daggers at her.

"You killed him!"

"I thought he could take it or dodge or something….." Shego said, looking at the ground. She felt like crying

"You stupid bitch!" Kim screamed, it was a sparring match and she turned her best friend into dust. She was about to run over and smack her before out of the corner of her eye some of the rocks and dirt started moving. "No way." There was no way he took that head on and just got right back up.

Something blue stuck out of the ground first, then it continued to rise until they saw it was a sphere with Ron inside. He floated over to where Shego was standing and summoned his sword. He dispelled the bubble and placed it at her neck. "I win. You let your guard down." He said with a goofy smirk.

Shego was stunned, he had taken no damage whatsoever. She knew for sure this blast was bigger than the one he took facing those agents from WEE, and that had him out of commission for a day. Even with his training she expected him to at least be winded or something from blocking it.

"H-how are you standing?" Shego said

"The shield?" He said, slightly confused.

"I heard down the pipeline that you pass out after you use power like that."

"Oh, uh, I may be a bit tired later but I won't be passing out anymore if that's what you're asking. That explosion wasn't weak or anything. You're super impressive Shego."

Ron and Shego continued their back and forth about training and giving compliments, Kim looked over to Bonnie, she wore the same expression as earlier. Or lack thereof one. Thinking back she realized she had no reaction even while she was cursing out Shego. "You knew he was okay the whole time didn't you?"

Bonnie shrugged. "I can sense ki. I knew he was alive, I just thought he might be injured or something." Once she cleared that up she resumed looking at Ron and had a dreamy smile. So that was what he was working on alone for the past few weeks. He continued to surprise her.

Kim saw Bonnie's warm smile and felt like she had to warn her. She was kind of a frenemy leaning more towards a friend at this point. "Bonnie, you know how I'm an android right?"

"Cyborg. Ron explained it."

Kim rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

"Why are you bringing this up right now exactly?"

"A lot of my senses have been enhanced. Ron has great eyesight because of the monkey thing but his hearing is still pretty normal, so the same would go for you."

"Okay?"

"I heard Shego say something during the fight….I'm not sure if you'd want to handle it after the mission so we have more help."

"Kim. Just tell me."

"She made a comment to herself about marrying Ron."

Ron was correct, he would be tired later. Bonnie assumed all that sushi he ate didn't help matters much though. He was currently sleeping in her lap while she stroked his cheek by candlelight. She forced him to lay his head down in her lap and relax knowing given what he did today he would likely conk right out. He would probably be in for the fight of his life in the next day or two. She would hate if he died because he was too tired to fight. That would suck for her emotionally. The nice part was if Yono was powerful enough to kill Ron she would likely be dead a few seconds after him, so she wouldn't have to live without him. She laughed softly at her gallows humor but stopped when she felt a bit of a tingle in her head. For a second she thought it might be Yono related, but then she realized that she could feel exactly who it was.

"You can come in Shego. I know it's you."

Shego opened the door with a surprised look on her face. "How did you know I was there? I've pulled off a million heists, I know I don't make sounds when I sneak around."

"Ninja aura sensing stuff."

"Oh."

Bonnie looked back at Ron's face and smiled. "Did you come to check up on him?"

"Yea, sorry to disturb your moment." She said, trying and failing to keep the disappointment fully out of her voice.

As Shego turned away Bonnie replied. "You know, I wouldn't mind some company for the next few minutes, it's not like Ron is doing much talking in his current state."

"….Alright." Shego sat down a bit far away in the room. There was an uneasy silence as Bonnie continued to dote on Ron for the next few minutes. She couldn't exactly say she felt super comfortable watching this, but at least she had an excuse to look at him without sneaking around or through some elaborate camera setup. She was slightly startled when Bonnie actually spoke to her again.

"You can move closer if you want. You don't have to skulk in the shadows like a panther or something."

Shego had a breathy laugh at the comparison and sat on Ron's side.

"He's amazing, right?"

Not quite sure how to answer, Shego replied "….Yeah, I've never had a fight like that with someone. I'm glad I could go all out and lose."

"That's nice, but it's not quite what I meant."

"You lost me."

"You haven't fought Kim in a while because of your break, but she's gotten a lot of improvements."

"I don't see how that's related, but I wouldn't expect anything less from her. She probably learns a lot of new martial arts in her spare time."

Once again Bonnie lightly chuckled. "No, I meant improvements to her body. Not quite privy on the deets, but it had something to do with nanites. Something something about her parents finishing what he started when she was a baby"

"I knew she wasn't normal before! Some of the things she pulled were ridiculous for a normal person."

"Anyway, she got a lot of benefits from their project. Increased strength, increased speed," She Made sure to look directly at Shego when she made her next statement. "Superhuman hearing."

Shego's body language instantly became defensive. "Is that right?"

"She heard what you said earlier during the fight."

Usually Shego would have become irritated, but it would be incredibly pointless to fight now. They were going to be facing a large threat tomorrow. It would be better to go into it knowing there was no tension. "Look, I'm not going to try to steal him from you. He loves you, you love him and you're trying to mark your territory. I get it."

"I didn't invite you in to argue with you Shego."

"Then why did you?"

"When you hugged Ron earlier, could you even control yourself? You looked like you were in a daze." Shego looked away and towards the ground. "I'll take that as a no. How do you feel about Ron, really, and why?"

"You sure you won't jell?"

"No, unlike Kim I do not jell that easily."

"I'm not exactly sure what to call what I feel. Ever since my family abandoned me I didn't feel much besides rage. I was basically the walking dead that only existed for vengeance, in any minuscule form I could get it in."

"Can we back it up? Why did your family abandon you?"

Shego's eyes saddened slightly, but she had a soft smile on her face. As if the situation was comedic. "I couldn't control my powers very well. Someone got hurt. Even though the person wasn't good to begin with they felt like I went too far. I also hurt the good guy image of the family so they had to let me go. Although thinking back they were probably just uncomfortable and looking for any excuse for me to go away."

"That's terrible…."

"That's human. It's also where my rage came from since deep down I figured everyone would cut me out the second it became convenient. I worked as a glorified merc since at least then I knew where I stood."

"I don't want to sound like a broken record by repeating how terrible that is so I'll just ask, what does that have to do with Ron?"

"Like I said, I didn't real feel much but Rage. Until my first real fight with Stoppable."

"In the warehouse?"

"No...you were knocked out for the first one. Although I'm guessing the concussion I gave you would be a good excuse for you not to remember." Shego let her get the eye roll out the way before she continued on. "Anyway, when he backhanded me I felt something. My heart fluttered. I hadn't had a rush like that in years."

"There has to be a joke about domestic abuse in there somewhere."

Shego growled. "Did you want me to finish or did you just want to keep making sarcastic bitchy jokes?"

"Okay okay I'm sorry. Damn. No need to bite my head off."

"I thought it was just the fact that I liked a good fight and he was probably the strongest person I faced, so I kidnapped you."

"We figured."

"But I was wrong…..After that fight I gave Ron my contact info in case he wanted to spar or needed my help or something. Maybe a rival type thing. But..."

"He never called until today."

"Right….So….uh" Shego became quite awkward. "I may or may not have been watching you for the past few months. More accurately him, you just happened to be there a lot."

"Not really surprised. It's not like evil has boundaries."

"I'll let that one slide. I still don't know what I feel for Stoppable. I haven't really thought about it much. I just...did things."

Bonnie stopped stroking Ron's cheek and looked Shego directly in the eye again. "I think you know exactly how you feel about Ron, you just don't want to admit it."

"If I know how I feel that would mean I've been thinking about it. If I think about it then I have to think about the fact that the way I feel may not be the way he feels. Or even if he does feel something it won't matter, because he's not a shit enough person to hurt someone else who he already has feelings and experiences with. Understand?"

"More than you know Shego."

"Alright, on that awkward note I'm going to guess sharing time is over, I'll catch you tomorrow before we all die I guess." Shego tried to stand but as she got to her feet Bonnie grabbed her hand. "Look. You don't need to console me or anything. He was yours before the thought even entered my head. I've accepted that."

Bonnie maintained her grip on Shego's hand. Rightfully guessing that Shego wouldn't hurt her after their bonding moment. Her eyes slipped between Shego's face and Ron's sleeping form. Once she said her thoughts she wouldn't be able to take it back, but she had been thinking about this since Shego landed and pounced on him.

"Ron does feel something for you. I think. I can sense it sometimes when he's near you since I can sense ki. It's kind of like being a soft empath."

"But like I said, he already feels a certain way about you, which is going to dwarf any lingering thoughts he has about me."

Bonnie took a deep breath. "What if there was still a way for you to be with Ron?"

First off, thank you to everyone who's been following this story for the past year.I wanted to post this close to christmas but as you can tell it's quite a bit longer than my normal chapters. Actually the longest one I've written for any multific. I was super excited to write this since I've been thinking about this chapter for months. Hopefully you still like the direction that the story is going. Some reviews or messages would help me figure out how people are feeling.

Sorry for the slow updates. Just know I am trying my best. I recently had two family members die in the last month so obviously that took up some time, at others I just didn't know what to write and I didn't want to put out garbage for you guys. I actually did scrap a draft I was 3k words into because I didn't consider it to be good enough _. If any of you have seen spartacus I'd love to hear from you, since I'm considering writing a fanfic for that.
