Authors Note: At the beginning of my fic I mention it was based around a picture and by Ziwu, well this is the chapter to visualise the pic so read on and tell me what you think.
Once again I don't own Kim Possible or the Picture, I also do not own the song I stand alone by godsmack (which I like to imagine is playing in this chapter)
I just like to tell stories.
Chapter 6
Shaolin Showdown
Monkeyfist slowly began to open his eyes but find himself trapped on a huge slimy body, as he slid out from under the unconscious he looked back towards the temple where a blonde haired boy stood strong and firm with the staff of Monkeyfists desire in his hand, as he heard his nemesis shout "GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY GIRL"
The Monkey man soon rose up and stared into the eyes which were keened onto his he couldn't but feel nervous as he felt the warm energy resonate off the boy's body as his suit glowed in the blue light. Clouds had now formed over the temple grounds as a heavy rain poured down onto the occupants soaking them from head to toe. Monkeyfist threw his fist out towards the new threat "NINJA MONKEYS ATTACK!"
Suddenly jumping out of every shadow and hidden space possible an army of ninja monkeys honed in on Ron with graceful accuracy while he stood there waiting. Rufus saw the attack and decided it was his master's fight, the naked mole rat leapt out of his pocket and rushed over to give his female human a hand picking up the laser lipstick which he found discarded on the ground he jumped onto Kim's shoulder and began zapping away.
A group of five monkeys made an attack, Ron simply stared at them and in one swift move swung the staff over his head with both hands and used swept all five monkeys with one blow knocking them away with great strength, Monkeyfist couldn't help but admire the shire power the boy had been given from the weapon of an old king. Ron soon continued on his onslaught of the Monkey ninja knocking them all away as they came at him the groups got bigger and bigger going into the dozens attacking at once. A group of six monkeys lunged at Ron while ten more ran up behind him, using the staff Ron hurtled the front six over his head causing them to take out the ten behind him, the two remaining carried on charging till Ron kicked himself back to his feet and swept the ground from under them. While Ron's back was facing him Monkeyfist ran with a silence that a ninja was famous for, Ron however must have gained an extra sense when he held that staff as he instinctively spun round and pelted the genetic man with the staff which he was so desperate to obtain sending him hurtling back, that distraction was all some random monkey ninja needed as it leapt up and landed on Ron's shoulders grabbing the staff and trying to pry off him. Ron looks over to where Gill was lying to notice he was no longer there.
Gill had snuck round behind Ron and while the ninja had a hold of him and spat a large amount of brown sludge directly at Ron knocking the staff out of his hands causing it to slid along the ground towards Monkeyfists feet.
Ron grabbed the ninja on his shoulders and threw him away making a brake for the staff, but he was too late as Monkeyfist had already picked up the staff and was holding it over his head. "At last I have the staff of the Monkey King, now grant me the power within!" Ron stepped back as the same energy ran through Monkeyfist as it did him when he held the staff. A red mist began to resonate around the new staff wielder, Ron couldn't be what he had let happen, Monkeyfist had the power as well and the staff, there was no way he could beat him now it was over Monkeyfist had won.
His regrets were cut short as Monkeyfist charged at him with the great staff knocking him high into the air and onto the roof of the temple, Ron landed with a huge crash on the slippery tiled root top as the fat rain continued to pore down. Finally free Team Impossible subdued Gill and bound his mouth to stop any unwanted spitting as Kim made a break for Monkeyfist but found herself grabbing air as the simian man leapt right over her and joined Ron on the temple roof.
He began to go at Ron with his weapon of choice knocking him from one end of the roof to the other, Kim flinched with every impact she couldn't stand to see her Ron be hurt like this. She pulled aimed her fist towards the roof and fired a line with a suction cup towards the building, it caught on to the tiles just by Monkeyfists feet and she began to zip line up, however when Monkeyfist saw this he smashed the tiles causing the red head to plummet to the hard wet ground, he then went back to beating Ron. Ron did his best to block the attacks but found himself ducking and rolling out of the way with little success only to meet another thundering blow with that accursed staff and another.
Ron then found his head and shoulder and one of his arms hanging off the edge of the building as Monkeyfist stood over him with a maniacal smile on his face as he slowly raised the staff above his head "It's over Ron Stoppable…..and to think if you weren't such a buffoon in losing the Lotus Blade you may have had a chance" that caught Ron's attention as he stared up at his monkey foe.
"First off I didn't lose the Lotus Blade it was Fukashima and secondly what do you mean may have had a chance?" Monkeyfist smiled with confidents as Ron looked up at him with his famous confused look on his face.
"As I suspected, the Lotus Blade is the only weapon strong enough to match the staff of the Monkey King, that is why I went for the Lotus Blade first but now that it's lost I don't need to worry about. GOODBYE RON STOPPABLE!"
As Monkeyfist gained leverage preparing his strike Ron thought back to what Sensei had once said to him "So long as your heart remains pure, the Lotus Blade will always know the way home" at the time Ron thought the home was the Yamanuchi School then remembered something else Sensei had said "You and the Lotus Blade are collected by Destiny" then it struck him, the home of the Lotus Blade wasn't the school, it was him. He then focused all his might in hopes to call it like he did back in Japan.
Meanwhile in Japan the Yamanuchi School, Sensei was standing out side of the temple where the Lotus Blade rested in safety, until Yori came running out of the temple "Sensei, you were right, the Lotus Blade is glowing and twitching, I had to seal the latches and restrain the case so it would not fall off its pedestal."
The wise man simply stroked his beard and proceeded into the Temple and approached the case of the magic sword which was chain to its pedestal and shaking violently barely being held in place, Sensei walked up to the case and released the ties that bind "What are you doing Sensei?" Yori demanded as the sword burst out of its prison and hovered in mid-air whilst glowing.
"It is time Yori, Stoppable-San needs the Lotus Blade to defeat Monkeyfist and now he is ready. Go Lotus Blade return to him and help bring your sister home!" The sword responded by shooting past the two and flew into a bright blue spin as it hurtled off into the distance.
Back at the Shaolin Temple Monkeyfist could see Ron's eyes were shut; he couldn't blame him for not wanting to see the end. Then he brought the staff down in full force, Kim and the rest of Team Impossible covered there eyes they couldn't watch but there was nothing they could do. As the impendent blow struck down a huge light blinded everyone for a moment, Kim did her best to look but the light was too intense until it began to dim. When Monkeyfist opened his eyes from the burning light that had now dissipated and was shocked when he saw it, instead of Ron's beaten head at the end of his weapon it was nun other then the Lotus Blade chiming against the Monkey Staff. By now everyone was gazing at the sight in ore "What is the meaning of this?" Monkeyfist demanded.
Ron replied by pushing Monkey fist back to the peak of the temple roof top and jumped up to join him. "The Lotus Blade! But I thought it was lost forever?" Monkeyfist demanded as he stared into the keen eyes of Ron Stoppable.
"The Lotus Blade and I are collected by Destiny, at first I wasn't sure was that meant but now I do and now, you're going down!" Monkeyfist flinched at the surprising comment coming from his blonde haired foe. The Monkey man then took up a fight stance as the fat rain continued to beat down on his person as Ron did the same. Kim found a way up to the roof and quickly ran over only to be stopped by Dash.
"What are you doing? Let me go, we have to help Ron, let go!" Kim struggle as Crash and Burn joined in the restraining but the surprisingly strong girl was proving more difficult to handle.
"Kim please calm down, this isn't our fight anymore" that was enough to stop Kim's struggling and stare up at Dash in a strange confusion as the dark skinned man seem to be so sure about what he was saying.
"What do you mean? Ron can't fight Monkeyfist alone, he needs me…..he needs us!" Dash decided to let her go as he explained to her his reasons.
"Kim we have predicted this possibility that Monkeyfist would obtain the Staff and we knew if the legend was true Monkeyfist would be unstoppable. So we actually went to the ancient scrolls that foretold of all this happening, and from looking at the setting the scrolls were dead on"
"What's that supposed to mean 'dead on'?" Kim questioned with an even more confused tone, it wasn't like everyone believed in this whole fate and destiny thing they worked for a government organization and the idea of Magic and stuff just seemed too far fetched.
"You see we research for every angle, it's what makes us the best. We anticipated the possibility that all this turned out to be more then just a myth. You see Kim the ancient texts speak of a man not quite man not quite Monkey who would threaten the safety of the Staff and that the only one who could stop him was unstoppable with the Lotus Blade"
Kim thought for a few moments and found a problem with Dashes theory "Wait, who is unstoppable?"
Dash began to awkwardly scratch the back of his head "Well we have reason to believe that the ones who wrote these scrolls had bad hand writing, because thanks to digital enhancing we have discovered that it is in fact Ron Stoppable"
"WHAT!" Kim gasped "You mean to say that all this has been arranged by fate? Even the part about Ron using the Lotus Blade?" She was surprised even more when Dash nodded in agreement. She then looked back up at Ron who like his simian foe hadn't moved an inch, they just stared at each over with burning eyes, Kim knew it wasn't her fight so she did the one thing she knew she could do, she cheered Ron on. "RON! I know you can beat him! So take him down and comes back to me I have faith in you Ron so GET HIM!"
That was all Ron needed to hear as he gripped the Blade and lunged at Monkeyfist who returned the threat by charging. As they impacted another huge burst of light shot out until the force drove the two apart again, they weren't separate for long as they began attacking each other with a grace and swiftness that would make a ballet seem uncoordinated, they moved within the others swing and blow ducking and weaving yet at the same time attempting a counter strike. Ron took a swing for Monkeyfist's head but he ducked into a crouch and made a sweep for his legs but Ron jumped over the staff, as he came down he went to strike Monkeyfist, but he held the staff over his head with both hands to block, that collision caused another burst of light to shot out of the two great weapons.
Soon however Monkeyfist overpowered Ron and pushed him back, in that time Ron was trying to shake it off Monkeyfist struck him causing Ron to lose focus as Monkeyfist knocked the Lotus Blade from his hands as gravity pulled it to the earth stabbing itself into the ground by Kim's feet. Another blow to the face caused Ron to lose balance and slide down the roof top and found himself hanging off the edge by his one hand. He looked up the rain beating down his face as Monkeyfist stood over him and raised the Bow over his head. "Even with the Lotus Blade, you are still no match for me! It is over Ron Stoppable! YOU LOSE!"
Kim grabbed the Lotus Blade and ran at the building screaming with all her might. "RON CATCH!" She threw the Blade as hard as she could, Ron used the distraction and all his strength in his one hand to hurtle himself into the air, grabbing the Lotus Blade in mid air and landing behind Monkeyfist, as the hairy man spun round he saw the Lotus Blade swing down and deliver an impact so large it sent Monkeyfist souring to the ground. As he opened his eyes he was welcomed by the gleam of the Lotus Blade his neck felt the pin of its sharp tip.
Ron stared down at Monkeyfist as the rain began to dissipate; he kicked the Staff away and manages to get out one word "Booyah!"
Team Impossible walked over and bound the Monkey man picking him up as much as he tried to resist Monkeyfist managed to halt them long enough to ask the blonde haired Monkey master "HOW? How were you able to beat me? I'm the more skilled fighter, I spent my life studying Tai-Ch'ing-pep Qwar and to be defeated by a Buffoon like you!"
Ron moved to an inch within Monkeyfist's face with a stern look on his face "Because you don't have what I have"
"And what is that?" Monkeyfist impatiently asked.
As Kim approached Ron moved his arm around her shoulders and pulled her in close before replying "You don't have someone to love and cheer you on all the way. That's why you can never win Monkeyfist because you will never know the strength that can come from someone believing in you." Monkeyfist grunted as he was dragged off by Crash and Burn. When he was removed from the temple and out of sight, Ron began to wave from side to side until he lost balance and his whole weight fell upon Kim.
"RON!" She yelled as she saw Ron lose consciousness and fall upon her, she was able support his weight but Dash quickly took Ron's other shoulder in support.
"It's okay Kim he is just tied, and who can blame him, let's let him rest for now" Dash was surprised when Kim moved Ron away from Dash's hold. "It's okay I don't mind helping"
"That's fine Ron is my Boyfriend, and I don't feel like I helped him like I should and I want to support him all the way" As Kim carried Ron off on her own, Dash couldn't help but smile as he saw what he could only describe as true love.
