Author's Note;
Jester: Friends sorry for this long overdue chapter. As some of you may know from the small updates I've posted... Smiles has moved back overseas leaving me on my own with all of our stories. Regretfully I am not a big comic book fan like he is. So both this and his vampire DC fanfic will be discontinued or reboots in some form. Yes I know it sucks but I'm not a comic book guy. And looking over the notes Smiles made for both stories would be epic... If I knew the comics, pages, and issues he was mentioning in his notes. So with respect to comic fans and the fans of these stories. They will be discontinued or rebooted in some form. And yes my personal life is factored in to this. Due to my work schedule I'm only home in the morning and late at night. So I have no time to roam the Internet for all the things he's talking about. So I'll be taking the controls of the Kim Possible fic and turning it away from the Marvel story line he was adding in. Which honestly got pretty confusing with all the powers he was given random people... So don't worry I won't toss away the intense Kung Fu movie fights. Those parts are my favorite, so hope you all enjoy this epilogue/reboot kick off chapter. And I'll see you all in the new story to come. But first final reviews before we go. H23t hope you like the battle and hope you take the news of how the still will continue doesn't upset you. 3headed-dragon I hope you like what mystical sides I saved without fully going into the Marvel plotline Smiles was building. And I hope you understand the limits I have. Thank you all for still reading, liking, and following the story. And I hope you all enjoy this final chapter before the reboot is published.

Sparing with agent Honey Dew I throw a jab but she blocks to grab my fist and go with a mid throw. But as I try to stop her Wade and Director Gemini calls us. Going over to them Agent Bellum joins us too. Wade says, "Ok so far we haven't managed to figure out where Monty Fisk vanished too. Or where his horde of monkey ninjas ran of to when they escaped. But we did get a lead on some named D Amy who seems to have had many conversations and money exchanges with Fisk. In what capacity we aren't sure or where the money was wired too."
I look over the file Wade pulls up on her to hum saying, "It says she left her old research lab for unknown reasons. Do you think she somehow help Fisk get those monkeys or used some kind of control to train them to be ninja's?" Agent Honey Dew agrees commenting that she's seen experimental animals being enhanced in labs before. One being her own super powered partner, codenamed Monkey.
Director Gemini turns to agent Honey Dew asking "Agent Honey Dew can you recall agent Monkey from his current assignment to help agent Possible locate Fisk?" Agent Honey Dew places her hands to her forehead to psychically call Monkey to HQ. The rest of us watch while wait lifts some kind of scanner towards agent Honey Dew as she makes the psychic call.
Agent Honey Dew stops her psychic attempts to say "Monkey is still dealing with the asteroids hindering the Olympus space stations crew from safely returning to Earth. He'll need some time." Director Gemini sighs wishing he had a few other agents specializing in animal based experimentations. Wade however reminds the director that most experiments involving animals have long since been outlawed. And the few animals that do get rescued from such labs often cling to the first people that show them kindness.
Director Gemini rubs his eye to say "Agent Possible you might have to work closely with your step father when he returns from his vacation." Before I can object the director goes on saying "I understand the emotional situation you find yourself in agent Possible. But it was we who helped Monty Fisk obtain whatever artifact he was after that made a whole secret order of ninja order his death. And from what the Japanese government gave us it seems they've keep crime low for years with these ninja's help. And they stressed in their file exchange that these ninja's don't mess around when it comes to powerful mystical artifacts. Our world is plague by individuals using science, magic of all kinds, and crazy experiments to perform all kinds of crimes. That last thing anyone wants to add to that growing list is weird ninja magic. Your stepfather is our only ally looking for Fisk now. And possibly our only lead to making sure the agents that lost their lives weren't for nothing."
I couldn't continue sparing or focus really one anything at HQ. So I told Wade I was heading home. Lying in my bed I can pretty safely say I don't want to deal with ninja magic. But that also means I have to work with Dante and the current situation in my family is just weird too. I guess I'll have to talk to my mom when she comes back home. Hopefully Dante didn't try anything while they were away. That would be beyond gross.

Dante grunts as he takes a sharp punch to his ribs before putting up a quick guard to stop master Chi's follow up kick. Dante tumbles back exhaling sharply as he feels bruises grow across his body. His match between himself and the grandmaster of kung fu is going as well as he thought it would. Dante still hasn't used his Outer or his mystical fist powers. He wanted a respectful sparing match between himself and the grandmaster to jog his mind with some kind of inspiration. But as far as Dante is concern his mind is still too confused on just how he can expand his skills if he doesn't know what he's lacking. Master Chi says, "I can see your mind barely focused and far from your current form young fist. You hold excitement inside yourself like a child but against that you hold sadness and anxiety. I can see now why you asked to spare with me in the hopes to push past this block. But often such mental blocks take years of mental training to overcome. Do you really believe simply sparing with me is enough?"
Dante grunts correcting himself to answer, "I'm not even sure. But the smith of the meteorites words hit me in my pride and my honor... I must protect those I love and those that have given me so much love in such a short time. Grandmaster I don't want to fail them." Master Chi looks at Dante then Anne and the twins. He hums for a moment to form several slow hand motions. Before Dante and his family's eyes master Chi extend his hands to create mystical bindings. The three are quickly silenced and subdued as the bindings wrap them up and hold them in place.
Before Dante could voice his protect or jump to their aid he ducks and moves back as twin sets of attacks try to land on him. Master Chi says, "I wondered for sometime when a master of the first would come to me. But to see one so lost and unrefined it is no wonder the master of the forge told you to leave his sight..."
Dante growls looking from Anne and the twins, all three held firmly in place by the mystical bonds. Dante says, "I came only for tutelage to better myself to defend them. Please release them." Dante grunts fixing himself to be ready for the grandmasters next attack.
Mast Chi sighs to say, "Try to fight and you will fail your family and loved ones will perish and you will die. .. Your adopted sons used as servants of evil." Dante steps closer damning that master Chi explain what he just said about the boys. Master Chi looks at the twins then to Dante saying "You cannot see it but your actions have drawn many eyes to you. Those eyes coated with evil will slowly tempt and pull at them, call to them... And eventually with you gone those evil forces will consume them." The two fighters circle one another but Dante keeps himself between the grandmaster and his family.
Master Chi exhales allowing a thin vial of his own energy to shimmers and ripples over his body. Resuming his battle stance the grandmaster says "Stand aside young fist the boys must be dealt with before they embrace the darkness after them. Before they allow their hearts to be consumed by vengeance and rage. So that you will not be lost and felled by those in the darkness as well." Dante feels a rush of anger igniting his fists to stand in master Chi's way saying he won't stand down. The master of kung fu shakes his head to strike first chopping downward for Dante to guard with his forward forearm. And counter with a jab to master Chi. The grandmaster grabs and holds Dante's fist as their energies clash against each other.
Forcing each other apart for a second Dante throws a hook for master Chi to brush it away and strike at Dante's face. Dante hisses as the masters fist graces his cheek but it cuts his skin. Resulting in blood spilling from Dante's cheek as he continues to fight against the grandmaster. Dante goes into a series of forward jabs and leg sweeps to push back master Chi. But the grandmaster merely seems to be drawing things out buying himself time to counter attack. Dante spins getting behind master Chi aiming to strike at his upper shoulder blade. Only for master Chi to turn quick enough to stop Dante's punch with his elbow. Extending his arm master Chi deflects Dante's attack downward leaving Dante open. Dante once more on the defensive stops master Chi's knee from connecting with his face. Along with three strikes to his chest only for Dante to receive a sidekick to his ribs.
Dante staggers back for master Chi to come in again with a follow up punch. Dante deflects to give his own return punch. But master Chi grabs and traps Dante's arm to ask, "Is this the extent of your knowledge of combat? Is your inexperience in fighting enemies with proper skill this limited?" Dante makes a snide remark for master Chi to sigh saying "As I thought." Dante turns his body to try and knee master Chi. But the grandmaster counter blocks with his own knee forcing Dante to drop to his knees. Dante while trying to guard gets the breath removed from his lungs as master Chi roundhouse kicks him across the dojo's arena. Hitting a support post hard Dante coughs trying to collect himself and breath.
Master Chi advances onto Dante saying, "You will never be strong enough to defend yourself and protect your family. As such you will be removed to prevent the fist from falling into the wrong hands. A fitting end in the face of your failures." Dante growls to get to his feet trying to will his Outer to aid him even as it clashes against his mystical powers. However master Chi pushes Dante back revealing that the grandmaster can clone himself with his energy. Dante looks on in shock to shake off the pain and resume his battle with the grandmaster and his clones.
From the sidelines Anne and the twins watch as Dante struggles to hold his own. Striking at one master Chi clone to momentarily have his guard opened for another to enter pushing Dante back. Dante stopping a few strikes to have his guard split open for the clone to bicycle kick him several times in the chest. Dante coughs violently as the last kick rattles his jaw sending him sprawling backwards. Dante spits up blood as he struggles now just to sit upright. Master Chi says "Even now you show the limit to your current self. You cannot fight forever nor can you protect them forever. Death comes and claims all in the end... No matter how much we struggle and fight back."
Dante looks to Anne and the boys seeing a brief flash of his aunt, uncle, and cousin. Dante can feel the tears in his eyes as he struggles to stand up. Dante coughs blood and as he stands he wipes blood onto the back of his hand. Dante says "I know and you're right master Chi. I can't protect them forever even though I want them to be safe no matter where I am. I can't even protect them from my own doubts and worries... I can't protect them from themselves and what the future has waiting for them... All I can do is what I have been doing. Teaching them from my experiences and letting them learn and explore as best I can... 'Dante looks to his family' I'm sorry." Master Chi advances onto Dante reeling back both his fists the grandmaster then sends a shockwave of energy through Dante. The last thing Dante can hear is the boys and Anne screaming his name.
Dante gasps finding himself once more on the cold peak of mount Fuji. Looking around he finds nothing until the air becomes mildly more humid. Turning around Dante once more sees the old grayish green scaled Japanese dragon. Ka' Zid exhales a puff of streamed air much like the stream from an open air bath towards Dante. Dante bows for Ka' Zid to say "Your mind is as troubled as the day you passed my trails young blood fist. Your heart is as kind as I remember but it still clashes with your worries, your doubt, and your sadness. I know, as does the grandmaster Chi knows that you have great potential. And you have taken the right steps forward. Accepting your fears and accepting that death may take those we care for. But the love others give to us never truly fades. The two halves of yourself must be balanced." Dante nods to sit closing his eyes Dante slowly reaches out to find a stick buried in the snow. Standing Dante soon begins to spin creating small swirls of spirals in the soft snow. And every so often the wind blows removing some swirls or disrupting others.
But Dante continues to make swirls until finally he stops. Looking forward Dante sees his Outer a large red fur covered creature, it has ram like horns at the top of its fur covered face and stout head. Its face not visible only its rows of shark like teeth in an oddly grinning large maw. Dante reaches out to his Outer saying "No more my friend come we must collapse the barrier between us and become stronger." The creature hesitates unsure but Dante nods saying, "It is ok to be worried that is what it means to live." Before his hand can touch the creatures fur Dante snaps awake. Looking around to find himself on a futon with Anne and the boys happy to see him awake.
Dante's View
The boys right away hug me as Anne clasps my shoulder giving me a relieved smile. I groan feeling my face to say, "I feel like I got punched fifteen times by George Foreman... What happened?"
Jim and Tim answers, Jim starting saying "Master Chi knocked you out" Tim "Then he said that you need rest and had spiritually find yourself" Jim "We wanted to blast him with our energy rays." Tim "But mom said that would have just made him mad." I chuckle happy that the boys were ready to take on a grandmaster of martial arts on my behalf. Even though both clearly would lose given the lengthy amount of foes the grandmaster has face so far in his life. Slowly standing up I decide to go talk with master Chi even though Anne and the boys try to stop me. Finding master Chi he's sitting near a small pond clearly focusing his mystical energy. Allowing his energy to flow along with the lilies in the pond.
Master Chi opens his eyes to say, "I see you have found balance inside yourself." I nod bowing and thanking him for his help. Master Chi offers me a seat, which I do with Anne and the boys sitting with me. The boys however flank me while kind of hiding behind me. Master Chi chuckles at Jim and Tim's glares to say, "Many young masters like yourself earn their titles by besting the traditions with vigor and ease. But they then have great weights placed onto them due to the responsibilities they must balance both spiritually and physically. Young fist continue to grow and learn... I also feel that your brother of the fist will come see me one day too." I chuckle knowing that it'll be a while for that meeting to happen. Thanking master Chi once more we leave to return to Goto and prove to him I am worthy.
After resting for a day and traveling for another we've returned to Goto's forge. Goto sitting by the well of his forge is drinking water as we approach. Finishing his drink Goto says "Well looks who has returned, took you longer then I thought. But do you think you can prove me wrong now master blood fist?" I can hear the sarcasm in the olds smith's words. But I once more step in front of the meteorite. Balance is what I need to focus my mind. Each master has their own technique their own style of fighting. I don't know my own because I haven't truly thought of it. But that's ok I'm young all I need to worry about is my growth and the present.
Breathing deeply several times I think of the family I lost and the family I know have. Anne, the boys, Bonnie, and Rufus, they all need my protection because they're my family. They are my present they are the love I need. But how do I unleash myself in a way the represents my era as the new blood fist?
Third person's View
Breathing deeply Dante feels the unity in his body. Dante says, "No I don't have an outer... I get it now full and truly this is my own mystical power fully awakened to stand guard over me." Dante takes several more deep breaths feeling the fur cloak his back completely. Jim and Tim gasp to point that Dante's fists are pulsing. Dante reels back both his fists thinking 'First art yokai fist.'
Goto smirks as the meteorite and the ground shakes violently at both Dante's fists making contact. Jim and Tim smile happy seeing two sizable chunks the sizes of bricks fall off the larger meteorite. Goto walks over taking up the two pieces along with brushes any flakes and chips into a bowl. Goto looks at the twins to say, "Well you two are coming inside to watch. Your mother and father will wait in the village."
Anne was about to protest not trusting the rude old smith. But Dante takes her shoulder to say "Anne please take a breath before you make Goto-san deaf." Anne grumbles that she was just going to make his ears ring for an hour or three. But Dante leads her back to the village. Sitting in the living room in the spare house for his family friends Dante and Anne relax. Dante looks at Anne to say "I can't believe my real skills was never originally an outer but mystical in nature. But then again I never felt rage like that before I often only feel sadness behind my happy mask that is."
Anne rests her hand on Dante's lap to say "You don't have to be sad Dante. But please remember you set the example for the boys. They won't stop seeing you as their dad until they get older and understand what happened to our families." Dante chuckles softly saying that he doubts that will stop them from call him dad.
Dante holds Anne's hand asking her if she still feels weird about the boys scheme to get them closer with this trip? Anne answers "Not really or well not as much anymore. I see your responsibilities and I see my own. The common ground being that the boys at least want us to be close and happy... Like parents should be...
Before Ann can complete her words the ground begins to violently shake before a flash erupts upward into the sky but through not only Japan but all over the world. Light beams upward shining across the whole work. Atop the hidden valley master Sensei sighs to say "Someone has tampered with the magical flow of time..." All fades away as the light over takes everyone and everything across the world. Only to changed and shift everything in some way or erase them from the flow of time itself.
Dante's POV
I snap my eyes open looking around me to see I'm sitting in my room. Wait wasn't I just in Japan with Anne she was saying something deep. Standing slowly I walk over to my dress finding not the same mementos and items I've collected over the years. But comic books and action figures of various kinds. Sniffing softly I smell the aroma of pancakes, which makes my stomach growl in need. Heading downstairs I find none other then my aunt Andrea at the stove. But she's wearing only an apron with nothing but a pair of pink panties and a bar on. I gulp blushing brightly as I take note of her plump frame to shake my head trying to stop myself from continuing to stare. Aunt Andrea turns to say "Oh Ron honey so good that you're up. I was thinking Rufus was going to eat all these pancakes with Hana alone."
I look to the table finding Rufus his normal self but sitting with a loose blue T-shirt and a no bra on underneath is the girl called Hana. I rub my head to pinch my cheek making sure I'm actually awake. Hana smiles to say "Come on big bro eat before Rufus takes your share."
I sit to eat trying to figure out what's going on. But as I take the time to calm down I slowly piece together the memories of the person's body I'm in. This is my cousin Ron but in this timeline he doesn't have me as his cousin. In fact he has not family outside aunt Andrea and his adopted sister Hana. Recently Ron came into contact with mystical energy from magical monkey ideals. Maybe some kind of mystical distortion happened?... Was I pulled here from my time into Ron's body because of that or something else but why? And why more specifically did I get pulled to a world where women are so damn and picky about the guys they date?... What these are Ron's thoughts and impressions of women that he knows.
I have to fake being sick so I can contact Master Sensei somehow. I groan cupping my head hoping the breathing technique of body heat will fool aunt Andrea. Aunt Andrea asks, "Ron are you ok?" She gets up and I swear her ass jiggling along is making plenty of audial sounds. Feeling my forehead she tells me to go lie down in bed.
Rufus comes to me for me to pet him saying "Rufus old buddy stay with Hana today and keep her safe." Rufus is clearly confused by my request but a promise of cheese when he gets home sends the lil guy running. Getting to my room or Ron's room I look myself over in the mirror. I look like my cousin but I have a few of my own features too... It's strange but I know for sure this can't be right, right? I have to meditate and talk to master Sensei fast. Oh man I just hope things don't get too awkward? Try explaining to a master of ninja's how you know he exists through the flow of chi. When he probably doesn't even know I exist... Man things are going to get freaky.
