Disclaimer and A/N: The Walt Disney Company has all rights reserved to the show Kim Possible and all that it entails. I get nothing but blisters on my fingers for writing these minor pieces of fiction. Kim and Ron are at the Yamanouchi school for training and to learn more about his Mystical Monkey Power. But at this school, Prophesies abound. Especially in this chapter.

Chapter 5 Prophesies

Ron's voice came out different. It was extremely loud, full of gravelly bass and reverberated. "Yes Kimberly Ann Possible. I understand all." He suddenly fainted to the floor.

"RON!" Kim yelled and rushed around the table to his aid.

"RON-SAN!" Yori screamed and went to the other side of him.

Each grabbed a hand, patting and stoking it. Sensei spoke softly. "He will be himself in a minute or two. Just let him rest."

Yori stood up and returned to her place at the table. She folded her hands and laid them and her head on the flat surface. Kim raised Ron's head a little off the floor and laid it gently on her lap. She looked at Yori, then to Sensei. Tears were welling in her eyes. "That was not Ron," she said, her voice trembling. "Was that the Monkey Power channeling through him?"

"You do not understand Possible-san," Sensei said with little emotion. "This is but a small indication of what is to come. The Power is integrating itself with the body of Stoppable-san. It is not a separate entity, It is him. He will be part of the Universe and what you know as Ron Stoppable will be no more. This small incident will likely arise more and more until he is one with The Power."

"But I love him," Kim started to cry. "And he loves me." She stroked his messy golden hair. "We're going to get married and..." Kim wrapped her arms around his head and sobbed openly.

"KP, a little space here! I can breath!" Ron said panicking and flailing slightly to extricate himself from her grasp.

Kim sat up and gleefully cheered, "Ron! You're alright!" She proceeded to rapidly kiss his cheeks, forehead, nose, eyes and every other part of his face that she could find. Finally her lips met his and didn't move on.

When the kiss broke Ron said, "I must be in Heaven cause I was just kissed by an Angel." He opened his eyes and saw that Kim had been crying. His goofy grin appeared. "Hello Angel."

Kim sniffled. "That's my Ron," she sighed and hugged him again.

Ron broke from the hug, sat up and held her at arms length. "KP, are you O.K.? Why are you crying?"

Kim pushed his arms aside and snuggled into his chest. "I thought I lost you there," she squeaked. "You... you went all ..." She struggled for words.

Sensei rose from the table and helped Kim and Ron stand up. "Stoppable-san, The Power is rising quickly and caused you to faint. Do you remember anything?"

Ron grabbed the sides of his head and grimaced, "I remember... I remember..." his face brightened as he stood erect. "I remember everything! It all makes sense now!" His grabbed Kim in a big embrace and swung her around and around. "It's just so BADICAL!"

Ron let Kim down and kissed her passionately. As he pulled away from the buss he staggered a bit. "Whoa! I feel a little woozy!" Ron collapsed to the floor, out cold again.

Kim picked him up off the floor and swung one of his arms over her shoulder. "I think he'd better lay down for a little. He's probably in information overload."

"Yori will take him to his room," Sensei stated. "I need to talk to you Possible-san." Yori slung Ron's other arm over her shoulder but Kim wouldn't give him up. "Possible-san," Sensei huffed, then his demeanor softened. "Kimberly. I must impart much information to you."

Kim looked deeply at the wise old man. She slowly relinquished her hold on Ron and allowed Yori to pick him up in her arms. "Please take good care of him," Kim pleaded. She watched as Yori carried the inert form down the hall.

"Kimberly-san, please sit." Sensei pointed to the cushion at the table. When she sat down Sensei sat across from her. "There is much you need to learn of what is to come." He unrolled an old yellowed scroll and slid it across the table to her. "This is from the year 359 AD. That is about twenty years after The Great Warrior Toshimu founded this school. It recounts what happened when He went through the transformation and why his followers decided to separate the four Mystic Jade Monkey Statues." He allowed Kim to study the document for a minute. "As you can read, Toshimu became almost a God and was both revered and feared by his followers. That is why the jade statues were separated. They did not want anyone else to become that powerful."

"But it says very little about what happened to Toshimu," Kim said in deep concentration. "It says he merged with the power and ruled wisely for years. It doesn't say if his body or mind changed. Ron might stay his same old goofy self and we could be together for the rest of your lives."

"No," Sensei shook his head sadly, "I'm afraid that is not to happen." He unfurled a scroll that appeared only slightly newer than the other. "At least not if we read The Ultimate Prophesies correctly."

"The Ultimate Prophesies?" Kim queried. "You mean there are ones that cover the final phase of his transformation?"

"Not of his transformation," he said solemnly, "but of the final battle between the Powers of Good and Evil."

Kim accepted the scroll and slowly opened it. "I'm almost afraid to read it." She hesitated a moment before looking at it. The scroll read:

1. THE OUT SHALL JOIN THE IN.2. THE FIRST SHALL OVERWHELM BUT BE VANQUISHED.

3. THE IN AND OUT SHALL FIRST FALL, BUT CARRY ON.

4. WHEN THE SECOND ACCEPTS HIS DESTINY HE WILL JOIN AND ASCEND TO THE HEAVENS.

5. THEY SHALL COME TO DO FINAL BATTLE FOR ALL. ONLY ONE SHALL

SURVIVE.

6. THE THIRD WILL PARISH BUT BRING ENLIGHTENMENT .

7. THE FOLLOWERS WILL SACRIFICE.

8. THE ONLY SHALL OVERSEE ALL.

9. THE THIRD WILL BE REBORN AND CARRY ON THE WORK OF HIS CREATORS.

"Like all Prophesies, this is all slightly vague and very confusing," Kim said, scratching her head. "Who is the first? Do you know?"

"We can only guess at the meaning of each Prophesy." Sensei sighed. "But we think we have put together what they mean. When the scroll speaks of the first, second, and third, we think it is the order in which the Mystical Power was obtained. Lord Monty Fisk was the first to receive the Power. Stoppable-san was the second and Rufus was the third."

Kim pondered that for a moment. "That seems right. But the first and third prophesies mention an In and an Out. I get the feeling the In is Ron and I am the Out."

"That is our interpretation too."

"That means Ron and I will get married, we will be joined in holy matrimony," Kim said with hope in her voice.

"That we do not know." Sensei took a deep breath. "It could also mean you and Stoppable-san will unite to fight the Dark Power, or... it could mean that Stoppable-san and you will merge and become a entirely new single entity."

"I don't get that impression." Kim said flatly. "Not with the third Prophesy still referring to us as the In and Out. I'll concede that it could mean we fight together against Monkey Fist and we get defeated, but we don't die. We carry on."

"That is where our understand of the Prophesies lead us. The second says The Dark Power will overwhelm but is vanquished. But to where it is not certain."

"I don't know. Vanquished from Japan... from Asia?" Kim postulated.

"Or maybe from the face of the Earth."

"Where do you get that?" Kim asked.

"From the fourth and fifth Prophesies," Sensei pointed to them. "When Stoppable-san accepts his destiny he will ascend to the Heavens to do battle."

"That could mean the final battle could be on a mountain top, or it maybe a dogfight in planes," Kim offered. "Fourth century people thought the Heavens could be anywhere that they couldn't go, like to the top of a mountain or up in the air."

"That is European History," Sensei corrected her. "Remember this school, on the peak of Mount Yamanouchi, was founded in the fourth century."

"But..."

"But nothing Possible-san."

Kim reread the Prophesies. "The third, Rufus will fall. Does that mean he will die?" Sensei bowed his head and remained silent. "But he will still be able to enlighten Ron. They will be able to communicate?"

"That is where we do not fully understand the Prophesies." Sensei raised his head and looked at Kim. "It does not say who will be enlightened by the fall of Rufus-san. We can only surmise it will be Stoppable-san since they are so close." He paused for a second. "And enlightenment had many meaning back then. It could mean they communicate as you read it, or it might mean Rufus-san will become a body of light to illuminate a path or room for Stoppable-san. It could also simply mean Rufus-san's death will bring a complete understanding of life and death to Stoppable-san."

Kim crossed her arms and laid her head on the table. "Of course. Ron and I have never really had to face death. We've been in dangerous situations... but death has never been an option."

"I am afraid you shall finally face death in the upcoming struggle." Sensei pointed to the fifth Prophesy. "Only one shall survive the final battle in the Heavens."

"But who will be doing battle?" Kim asked as she sat up. "And who are the followers that will sacrifice?"

Sensei considered his answer before speaking. "We believe the followers mention are the monkey ninja, but as to who they will follow, we are not sure." He heaved a heavy sigh. "And as to who will do battle in the Heavens, that we are in total disagreement. Some believe it will be the four of you; Monkey Fist, Stoppable-san, Rufus-san and you. Others believe Rufus-san will be gone before the battle. Still others think you will miss the final battle."

"The Only will be the winner of the battle." Kim opined.

"Hai Possible-san." Sensei straightened up in his seated position. "Three have the Power at this time. Two must die to fulfill the Prophesy. The Only will be the one who is alive after the battle."

"And he shall oversee all," Kim read the final Prophesy. "He shall rule over everyone."

Silence fell over the room for a few minutes as both Kim and Sensei pondered what had been said. Finally Kim broke the hushed atmosphere. "Have you run across any information about a Monkey King Amulet?"

Sensei shuffled a few of the papers on the table before finding what he was looking for. He pulled a single piece of paper out of the stack. "The Monkey King Amulet is a fascinating legend. It comes from a splinter sect of the original followers of Toshimu. They had traveled to China to avoid religious persecution and had set up in the mountains north of what is now Beijing. There, they hid one of the Jade Monkey Idols. It was written that a piece of the idol broke off and they made an amulet of the shard."

"So the amulet might have some of the Mystical Monkey Power," Kim said.

"So the legend goes," Sensei nodded. "It is written that only one has worn the amulet and he turned into a monkey. The sect considered him to be sacred and worshiped him until he died. But alas, it was written about one hundred years after the supposed event and can only be deemed a legend. We have no proof that it really happened."

"Two have worn the amulet," Kim said, scratching her neck. "Monkey Fist went after it and it somehow ended up on my neck. I almost went full monkey before Wade changed me back."

"Ah so," Sensei said in amazement. "When did this occur and have you received any powers from it?"

Kim paused in thought before she answered. "It happened about a year and a half ago, during basketball season of my junior year." She blushed. "And the only power I've discovered is I can..." her blush deepened before she continued, "remove my clothes without touching them."

Sensei thought for a moment before he posed his next question. "Have you tried to use your power to move other objects?"

"You mean telekinesis?" Kim asked.

"Yes."

Kim thought about it. "We haven't really considered moving other things, I mean besides our clothing."

"You say we," Sensei chimed. "Does Stoppable-san also have the power of telekinesis?"

"He discovered he had it first." Kim thought back. "He told me that he could remove my clothes at will. Finally he had me try and I found I could do it. Or at least that's what he told me."

"You do not remember doing it?"

Kim sighed. "It's a long story, but the gist of it is I had a problem with... well let's just say I had a addiction and Ron used his MMP to cure the problem and erase my memories of it. I have used the power since then though."

"May I see your power?" Sensei saw the shocked look on Kim's face. "I am only curious as to how the Power works. Please be assured that in Japan, the sight of a naked woman is, as you say, no big. We do bathe together you know."

Kim mulled over the request before responding. "I understand you wanting to see the Power at work, but I'm not sure if I can. I've only done it with Ron around." She paused to consider her next words. "I mean... well, I feel secure with him and I'm not afraid to show myself with him close by."

"Would you feel more secure if Yori was the one to witness the Power?" Sensei asked.

Kim thought for a second. "I don't know if it will work, but I can try." Yori opened the partition and entered the room. Kim spun on her. "How long have you been out there? How's Ron doing?"

"Ron-san is asleep and is well." Yori said softly. "I have just arrived and did not hear any of your conversation with Master Sensei."

Kim slumped a little. "I'm sorry I harshed on you just now."

"I understand Kim-san," Yori said as she bowed. "You are still wary of me since Ron-san first kept the school and me a secret from you. Also, I had a crush on him before you realized your love. But you should not consider me a rival since Ron-san only thinks of you in his sleep." Yori blushed. "He called your name a few times in what I believe you would call, a purring tone?"

"Yori," Sensei spoke firmly to get the girls attention. "You are aware of the legend of the Monkey King Amulet?"

"Hai, Master Sensei."

"Possible-san came in contact with it and might have retained some of it's Power." Sensei stood and walked to the door. "I would like her to show you the Power she possesses. Please inform me of your observations." Sensei quietly exited the room and closed the sliding partition.

Yori and Kim bowed to Sensei as he left, then Yori turned to Kim. "So what Power do you have?"

Kim blushed a little. "Ah, why don't I try to do it since I'm not sure if I can right now. Sensei just told me of the Prophesies and I'm in a bit of overload myself. I mean I don't want to influence your observations if it doesn't happen. Please sit down and be patient. I'll give it a go."

Kim closed her eyes and folded her hands in front of her as Yori sat at the table. Thirty seconds went by before Kim opened her eyes and let out a big breath.

"I'm sorry Yori," Kim said. "It's not happening. I just can't concentrate right now."

Yori smiled at Kim. "You are too tense. Close your eyes and take a few deep cleansing breaths." Kim complied and seemed to relax a little. "Now Kim-san, continue with the breathing and think of Ron-san and how happy he makes you." After ten seconds a slight smile grew on Kim's lips. Yori saw the glint of a smile and softly said, "now you can try your Power."

The small stack of paper on the table started to move as Kim's shirt rolled up from the waist to her neck and stopped. Kim stood for another fifteen seconds before her eyes slowly opened. "I'm sorry Yori but that's all I can do right now. Usually I can remove all my clothes when I'm with Ron." She rolled her shirt back into place.

"You can remove only your clothing?" Yori begged. "You have not observed anything else move when you use your Power."

"That's all I've been able to move so far," Kim answered. "Usually I have my eyes closed."

"So you do not realize that you moved the papers on the table."

"I... No!" Kim said in astonishment. "I moved the papers?"

"Hai Kim-san. Six or seven pieces of paper moved at the same time as your shirt." Yori smiled at Kim and said, "Could you please try again and focus on the papers this time."

Kim took a few cleansing breaths before closing her eyes. Slowly she folded her hands in front of her chest and a smile crossed her face. Yori looked at the table and saw three sheets of paper float off the surface and hover for a couple of seconds before dropping back to rest.

"Very good Kim-san," Yori said in amazement. "You were able to levitate three pieces of paper with little effort."

Kim practically beamed. "Yeah, I did. I could sense the pages lifting off the table." She started to scratch her neck. "The only problem with the Power is my neck is really itchy afterwards."

"Why would your neck itch after using the Power?" Yori wondered aloud.

"It's a long story," Kim smirked. "Perhaps we should have Master Lunch Lady fix us another pot of tea and some Denver Rolls and I'll fill you in on everything that's happened to us."
