Aftermath – Chapter 3

VIII

Even counting everything that had happened to him in his almost 18 years, and specially the last week, what was happening in his kitchen this particular morning top all of it.

First he had woken way to early by anyone's standard, even before his own parents that were trying to surprise their guests with a homemade breakfast. The Possible family was having a rough time and they were trying to help. After that his parents told him that a royalty check had been sent, enough money to live like a king all his life, and while he was soon to be a legal adult they didn't want him to repeat his las encounter with money. He had surprised them by not accepting it, if hit too close to what he was feeling with his Mystical Monkey Power, and despite his worries of the future he was content with parts of his life, last time he had that money he had pushed away his now girlfriend in exchange for new and fake friends. If there was one thing he was sure was that he wanted Kim in his life, he wouldn't do anything to pushed her away.

His parents had convinced him to save at least some of it, when in a stroke of genius he realized that the money could be used for something good. Later the talk with Kim's parents, he knew that they were more than able to do it alone, but he wanted, need, to help them. Watching them hugging and crying in front of their house had shocked him, they had always been so strong, so ready to face anything, but the look of despair in their faces had break him.

But all of that, and even the fact that he was the Ultimate Monkey Master, paled in comparison to Dr Drakken wearing a green apron, swinging his hips at the rithm of the latest Britina song preparing Coco Muu in his kitchen. Behind him and siting in the table surrounded by all the family, stood a semi uncomfortable looking but still defiant Shego. Kim had let them enter on the promise that they wouldn't do anything to the their families and their house. The parents had their doubts, specially Mr Dr P, but they trusted Kim. It helped when she told them, irking Drakken in the process, that they had saved the world. That Kim knew that Shego had seen what Ron had done was an added bonus, but she still felt curious about why they were here.

Drakken had asked if they had any mini marshmallows, top shelf had answered a shocked Mrs Stoppable, when Hannah launched herself from Mrs Dr P arms, her favorite aunt and second favorite red haired into Shego's arm, in the other side of the room with an unnatural speed for a two year old baby, who while surprised grabbed her with ease.

Suddenly Ron thought that Hannah had never shown her powers to his parents, and realized that Kim had never told her parents about her. This was starting to become an even better morning,

Shego's surprise lasted a second before realization come, glancing from her towards Ron with a knowing smirk in her face. She positioned the kid and let her play sitting in her lap, contrary to popular belief she liked kids, that shy she had chosen her degree "She definitely takes it after her big brother doesn't she?"

Ron and Kim glanced at each other nervously when everyone else, including the Tweebs and Drakken looked at them with confusion. His father was the first to talk "Ron? Is there something you want to tell us? You always said she was a ninja, but we thought it had to do with her heritage, we were going to talk to you about it since it might come as a little offensive, but now..."

Shego's laugh cut him " Are you telling me they don't know about her?" Her expression darkened a little "About you? Don't you think they have the right to know?"

Anne Possible wanted nothing more than take away her niece, she considered her a niece no matter blood issues, from Shego's hand, not only because she was Shego, but also a little envy. Hannah had taken a few days in being comfortable with her, and out of nowhere she jumped to her hands leaving her behind. She didn't like it at all "Kimmie, why exactly your arch foes seem to know more about Ron and Hannah than us?"

Kim sighed, it wasn't that she had actually hide it from them, they actually knew about the Mystical Monkey Power, and like her just didn't believe it. The Hannah issue it just never came up, sure she had been tired after that day baby sitting her, but between Yori, the ultimate weapon and later Yono it had slipped her mind. And Ron actually called his sister magic ninja. They just never bothered to really explain it. A hand in her shoulder was all the support she needed, silently communicating that it was time to tell them everything. But maybe she should start considering his tendency to exaggerate things, he would fill what they needed.

"You remember Moneky Fist? We knew him before he took it as his identity, he was looking for the last of the Jade Monkeys. He already had three and for some reason wanted my help to get the last. He believed that it would gave him something called Mystical Monkey Power, a kind of energy that would make him the ultimate warrior. Ron never trusted him" She looked fondly at him, while their families and arch foes listened thinking it was ridiculous, She closed her eyes for a second, what happened later had been hard, and it had taken some time to forgive Wade "I have already missed some family gathering with cousin Larry, and Wade created an Holo-Kim. I thought of using it to ditch Larry" she did felt guilty about it even when her parents were looking at her with disapproving glances "But I didn't. But Wade wanted to test Holo-Kim and thought it was a safe mission, after all Fisk was very respected. So Ron went alone. Monkey Fist had already claimed his powers, but Ron instead of running face his fears and jumped in the middle of the four statues, and gained the powers too"

Still not believing it they watched with smiles as Kim looked at him with pride, despite everything else, she had never felt more proud at him that in that moment. Ron continued for her "I couldn't beat him though, while we had the same powers, and suddenly I knew Monkey Kung Fu, he was faster stronger and more experienced. So I broke the statues, the connection to the power was lost and we used the distraction to flee. Turns out I didn't really lost all of it, some of it still come but most of the time it didn't. Then come the exchange program when I went to Japan, more specially to the Yamanuchi school"

Now it was his parents turn to look weirdly at him "Yamanuchi? That's the same name of the adopt agency where we met Hannah" a sudden realization started coming to all of them, though they weren't convinced. Suddenly there were many coincidences to think about all of this as fiction.

"Turns out that the last wielder of the MMP was the founder of the school, and they dedicated their whole life to it. When they knew I had been in contact with the statues they arranged it so I would come. But even if there was a moment in the school when the power come back, later I went back to normal, the power came and went and I couldn't control it"

Mrs Stoppable nodded but was still anxious, she cared more about what this power could affect their kids "But what about Hannah? What does she had to do with this?"

Kim answered " Honestly at first we didn't know, Hannah's abilities didn't show until a few weeks ago, when Monkey Fist, having already failed at getting the Mystical weapon, or as he called it the Han, went for another power and ended up waking up someone called Yono the destroyer. That's when we found about her origin. What I might not mentioned is that Yono was a talking monkey with the ability to turn people into Stone"

Everyone looked stoned when Hannah suddenly started running in the ceiling before dropping into the hands of Anne Possible, who having already taken care of an mega active daughter caught her without problem. Hannah's giggle was all they heard, even Shego who had seen Ron's power was shocked, suspecting and knowing the full story were two different things, but a thought occurred her "You mean that before yesterday you never did that?" Talk about luck!

It was Anne, who suddenly remembered Ron's hunted face this morning and how they have been unusually silent about how they have saved the world asked "What happened yesterday?" She was looking between the two teens and Shego and Drakken "How all of you defeated the aliens, how did you stop the invasión"

This time Drakken talked "Well we started using my formula, that had the unexpected effect that gave me control over the plants, I used them to stop the lowardian walkers and capture Warhok and Warmonga, after that I left to prevent other plants to come, it would have given us time in order to think how to stop the invasion all over the world"

"Kimmie-cub?" Mr Dr P noticed that her daughter sighed, but it was Ron who answered "Then they were free, and I did the most idiotic thing I've done, I charged Warhok, I don't even know what I was thinking, here I was facing a the biggest dude I have ever faced. He punched and sent me flying and I ended up hiting Kim, knocking her unconscious" Ron had never looked more defeated, but it was soon replaced by hatred, an almost murderous look that stopped any commentary. Only Kim reacted and grabbed his hand, she knew what had happened, and squeezed."They were talking about taking her as a trophy, and Sensei appeared behind me, telling me that I was ready, that it was my destiny" But he couldn't say what had happened later.

Shego fortunately didn't have that problem "You should have seen him, I've never seen anything like that, and that was before he went all blue! Have to say it sidekick, I was almost impressed"

Ron smiled, that was as close as a compliment he had ever gotten from her.

Mr Dr P interrupted them "I'm sorry, blue? Mystical Monkey Power? I get aliens, there was always the possibility, I can even get plants stooping alien machines, but magic? Don't take it personally Ronald, I have tremendous respect for you, and you did save my daughter, but all this is a little hard to grasp my head around" He might have been the one to say it, but it was something everyone thought, even Kim would have doubted if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

"Then why don't you show them, I am also curious about it" Came from Drakken, but Shego glared at him "And make a whole show for everyone to see? I already told you we cant do that!" Drakken recoiled a little and hided behind his cup of coco muu.

Dean Stoppable had taken her daughter from Anne's hand and look pensive, he had to agree with Shego, if all this was true, if his son and daughter were related to actual magic, he had seen enough science fiction to know how it could end. Sure they could be wrong, maybe people would rejoice, but he knew about numbers, and wasn't about to gamble the safety of his kids.

Before he could say anything Ron interrupted him "Honestly I don't even know if I can do it again, maybe it was a one time deal, I was hoping to talk to Sensei before all this"

Drakken had the same face when the idea to save the world came to him "But what if we test it then?" Shego had already turned her plasma on and turned to him, so he quickly continued "In a close environment! Not here or now, I mean we could go to the Middleton bunker, and it would take me a few hours to clean it up, but we should be able to test it in a safe way. That way you can learn a little more about it and we can see what it does to your body"

Ron and Kim looked at each other with the same look, they were actually considering doing this, his parents also were curious, and Anne was really interested in how it affected his body if it was all true. Mr Dr P still couldn't wrap his head around it, but knew it was the best solution.

They still had to work, so they decided that while they were working, Drakken would prepare everything, and Mrs Dr P ordered Kim to take the twins to find some clothes to buy, she and James would go later. Shego that wanted to put some distance between her and Drakken to think a little decided to go with Kim, they have had fun shopping before, maybe now that they had saved the world together and didn't have any machine toying with her personality, they could find some common ground again.

Ron had accepted playing the guinea pig, he too was curious and wanted to clear any doubt they might have, but his only condition was to tell Wade to be there with them. If their arch foes would know about it, it was only fair that their biggest ally and friend should be there too.

Dr Director turned to her top agent before ringing the bell on their objective "Du before we enter I have to know I can trust you, you might find things inside that, if you choose to enter, might never be able to tell anyone. There is no real reason as to why we should be here, therefore this is strictly off the record. So before we enter I'm giving a free of consequence second chance, if you cant do this, if it makes you fell uncomfortable bending so many regulations, wait for me here and I swear I will never hold it against you"

Will Du looked directly at her eye, it was a tempting offer, while he was less strict, breaking rules still left him uncomfortable, but he trusted her, she had trained him, took him under her wing, , she pushed him to be better every single day. With those thoughts he took a step forward, and knowing she was smiling at him, those rare smiles, pushed the ring bell and stood behind her. Despite being off the record, and not in their usual uniforms she was the leader.

Wade was having a better day than yesterday, no missions, his family and friends safe and a call from Ron explaining what he already knew and asking him to come that night to test his powers left him extremely pleased.

Not only because that would be the first time to scan real magic, but because he felt loved and trusted by his friends. He had always been on the outside, always felt like that, but the truth was that they cared for him.

That why when her mother knocked in his door with an almost casual looking Betty Director and Will Du he groaned. He had made sure to deleted everything, there was no witness nor recording of any kind of what had happened yesterday. Maybe he had done an extremely good work? Dr Director was anything but dumb, and he had known this was a matter of time. That it was them and not a full squad almost made him feel better. Almost.

With the door closed Global Justice's chief smirked letting the young genius squirm a little before relaxing her posture and smiling at him. That tensed him more though "Relax Mr. Load, we are here not as part of GJ, but as two individuals very concerned and curious about what happened yesterday. We understand your concerns and why you had the need to delete everything, but GJ doesn't depend on any government, our only concern is the defense of the planet, which apparently now comes from outer space. I just need to know, if something like this ever happen again, we will be able to repeat this or if it was just a miracle"

Wade closed his eyes, he did trusted her, he had seen her record and knew she could be trusted. But this was Ron, he wasn't ready to put him at risk, he would never forgive himself if something happened to him because of him. And then of course was Will Du standing behind her.

"We are aware when you hack us Mr. Wade, I even let it happen sometimes. You do good work, better than all our analysis teams, and you use that information for good, you and Team Possible save the day. But yesterday we were attacked and we were losing, if whatever happened hadn't, we wouldn't even be talking. We have to be ready for the next time, because there will be. So I ask you again, was it just luck, or was it skill?"

She hadnt used those words on purpose, but it gave the idea that she knew, dumb luck dumb skill, was how everyone would describe Ron " Look Dr Director, is not that I don't trust you but…"

He was cut by Will Du "I swear to you Mr Load, nothing you shows us here will ever leave this room, but if it makes you more comfortable I will step outside and never bother you again"

Wade looked at him as if seeing him for the first time, that was an extremely generous offer coming from him "I assure you Mr Load that agent Du has my full trust, and I will be very pleased if you manage to trust him too, but it is your decisión"

Wade looked at both and thought for a few seconds, this wasn't his secret to tell, but they had come in peace, after his research on Area 51, he knew they were the better option "OK Dr Director, I will show you this but I will delete it after, you can stay agent" Wade turned around and started playing what he had, wishing he hadn't make a huge mistake.

They watched it a few times, and true to his word he deleted it shortly after, now outside the house the director and her agent hadn't said a word, but it was Betty Director commanding and order to him that broke the silence "Agent Du from now on every Atturdinator, every Modulator, every mind control chip and everything that might even alter a person's personality is to be classified as an S-class threat, I want every piece destroyed, every schematic or noted burned, delete hard drives erase memories do whatever you have to do, this is now the agency top priority, and I want you to personally be on top of this. I want every member of the Stoppable and Possible family and anyone even remotely close to him protected. If any villain is trying to seriously harm or kill one of them I want them in the deepest cell we have. Do you understand your orders agent Du?"

Will Du had still not fully recovered from what they had seen, but knew what and why she was asking him to do this. The study on the Ron factor, and posterior analysis on his Zorpox persona had shown a very protective human being. And while the influence of the Aturdinator he had shown incredible fighting skill besides an enormous intellect directed to mechanic instruments. His death machines had been extremely powerful but simple in their functions, his machines didn't have any control they just released huge amount of power. If pushed down that road the study found he would be a tremendous threat.

And that was before the raw power he had demonstrated facing the Lowardians. "Consider it done" Standing firmly he acknowledge his new orders, his orders to save the world from Ron Stoppable, and since he was pretty sure they wouldn't be able to contain him, poor souls of those who would try, this was the best course of action.

The combined Stoppable-Possible family along with Wade, Drakken and Shego stood in a control room that had a view of a large room. From up there they could see the whole room, with Ron Stoppable in the middle looking nervous. Monitors showed biometric data from Ron, and except from a slight increase in his heartbeat, probably from stress, everything was normal. The bunker as Drakken had called it, was actually a deposit where he tested and stored some of his old inventions, they all had to admit that it was a good idea to use thos machines instead of his henchman, Kim had insisted that Ron dindnt need more people hurt by his powers. While no one had clarified, everyone knew that he had killed the aliens and was feelling guilty about it.

Down below Ron was a little nervous, he really didn't know what he was supposed to be doing, last time he accessed his powers the world, and his world was at risk, he didn't feel anything different, and his afternoon had been busy to even try to concentrate or even meditate. He half expected Sensei to appear sometime during the day, but so far he hadn't showed.

A door opened and around twenty synthodrones appeared, fortunately they were the basic model and wore the dark mask over their heads.

Ron's mother nervously asked "Twenty? Isn't that a lot? Wouldn't they hurt him?" It wasn't that she didn't trust her son's fighting capabilities, but what mother wants to see their son fighting? Anne Possible thought the same, and even Kim and Shego felt that it was a little to much.

"Don t worry, you all said he didn't know how he did it, but last time it was in a fight, we have to simulate the danger and if we see that its getting dangerous, I've built an emergency stop that will freeze all of them" Coming from Dr Drakken it didn't take their fears away, but Ron seemed unfazed, with a strange focused look, as if measuring his opponents. Besides that he seemed expressionless. The fact that Kim was in her super suit, that Wade had along with the Sloth, and was standing next to the door along with Shego calmed them a Little.

Much like the fight he had against Wego, Ron launched himself towards them, grabbing the head of one tossing him and knocking several before they could react, then standing in his hands started rotating kicking everything that dared to come too close. He had never fought like this, he didn't even thought what move to do, he just did, by the time the drones had stopped coming to them Ron was in a defensive pose, and despite being surrounded he didn't move, his usual theatrics where nowhere present.

Above them even Kim looked surprised. When the fight had begun she was ready to jump in, she wanted him to feel better with his powers but she was not going to let him get hurt. While Ron deflected with incredible speed every block and punched everyone that come too close several feet away, a thought appeared in the back of her mind. I guess he doesn't need me to win this fight . A small frown appeared in her face with the thought, but quickly dismissed it to keep on focusing on the fight.

Ron was growing bored, since his enemies were made of goo they wouldn't stop standing up, remembering his fight with Warhok he had an idea. Jumping backwards leaving all of them in front of him he raised his left hand, and much like Warhok they all stopped moving. Not only he had pushed him away, but a second before he had immobilized him. This time however he was doing it to a much larger group and for longer, this was taking more effort that he thought.

Mrs Stoppable had always had a good sense of smell, it passed to her son, and she always wondered if it helped them while cooking, Ron was better than her, but she had taken it from her "What is that smell? It smell like trees? Grass?"

James Possible didn't smell that, but he was sure he could hear something like a distant siren, no. it sounded more like screechs "Why did they stopped moving?"

Drakken was looking at his instruments "They didn't, they are trying to move but there is some kind of energy that's holding them in place"

Suddenly Ron pushed his right hand, that a second before was pulled back, towards them and suddenly every single one of them was pushed towards the wall, as if shot by a canon. What happened later was gorchy, and Ron appreciated the fact that they were synthodrones instead of henchmen, since they all exploded on contact, and the goo was dripping from the Wall.

Anne Possible couldn't believe what they had seen, not the fighting part, she had seen Kim practice, but the last part. She hadn't believe it, but now she couldn't believe it. However her doctor side had been preoccupied seeing the data coming from Ron. Even if it was a light exercise for him his heartbeat and other data hadn't risen, if anything he was calmer. Even during the last phase nothing had happened, he had done all that without a single drop of sweat.

Drakken looked pensive, what they had seen was beyond anything he had encountered, and taking in consideration the energy it would take to do all that, he was surprised. This was beyond what the buffoon body could handle, but it didn't seem enough, he had noticed a light energy reading coming from him, but it lasted a second "Mmmm that was impressive, but maybe we should take this to the next level?" He asked nervously at Kim and Shego. He didn't want any of their wrath directed to him.

Shego shrugged, while impressive this have been nothing compared to what she had seen. Kim felt the same way, she did smell and hear the distant screeching, and realize that this hadn't been enough of a challenge to him. Again a small frown come to her face, only this time it didn't left. Looking at him and her parents, she ended up nodding to Drakken, even if she didn't know what next level was.

Drakken pushed a button and a new set of schematics appeared with a logo that looked like a beehive. With realization she looked as Drakken BABE's robots appeared, a total of four. Along with the data a new schematic appeared, an analysis coming from the robots indicating the threat that Ron was to them. Right now the level it showed was insignificant. The robots not only were better than the synthodrones, but also brought a lot of info on Ron.

If it hadn't been for the direct order to attack their target, the robots wouldn't even consider it. He was no threat to them, even without a hive mind to guide them. One of them moved at a fraction of their speed to punch him, but was stopped by Ron grabbing her fist. There was something akin to surprise in their faces as the threat level started rising. The next punch, moving much faster and harder than the one before was also stopped, when Ron, still grabbing both fist did a back flip, hitting her jaw like he had done with Erik a year ago, only this time the damage was greater, the head went flying while the body dropped to the floor.

With calculations done, the threat stopped at moderate, and now all three attacked at the same time. Moving at top speed they were confidant that they could knock him. Ron managed to evade them, jumping away and the BABE's changed their tactics, two attacked first, and Ron again jumped away, but before he could attack them the third one punched him in the stomach with enough force to knock him unconscious, but despite the surprise in Ron's face it didn't have any effect.

Hannah was giggling and punching the air, and Ron's parents were fixed on what was happening there. Along with the Possibles, and the twins who were almost drooling about what they were seeing, their nerves were replaced by awe. Even Drakken was surprised, and Shego looked at him with something akin to respect. Both of them were sidekicks, it was nice to see him become something more. Suddenly everyone saw that every time that Ron blocked or punched them a huge electric blue monkey appeared behind him. As if all that energy was pouring out of him. The distant screeching now was clear and recognizable every time those images appeared. They were monkey screams.

However Kim was feeling not only worry for her boyfriend, the punch that connect with his stomach almost made her jump in there, but the voice appeared again telling her that he didn't need her, he could do it alone, he was doing a better job than her would do. She didn't like that but mostly she didn't like to feel this way about him. He had improved himself, risen to the occasion for her, and she was feeling jealous. It reminded her too much to Bueno Nacho and she didn't like it at all.

One by one the BABE's were destroyed, her hits doing nothing to stop him but every single punch from him wreck their systems, soon they were slowing down and some had some limbs missing. Drakken wondered, there was one more thing he could try, and he was sure that it would be more than an OK challenge, but considering their history with Team Possible he wasn't really sure. Shego seemed to notice his discomfort, and knowing what else was stored there she knew what he was thinking about, but she was not only sure that Stoppable could handle one, she was confident that Drew could stop it if it was necessary. She trusted him "There is one more thing we could try, the BABE's were okay, and he was doing more stuff, but we need a little more"

Kim tried to think what more they could be talking about, maybe some new invention? But in all honesty she didn't know if she wanted more, she was already uncomfortable, and she didn't want to taint his powers, and the memory of him saving her with her jelling.

"Maybe we should ask him?" Her mother had noticed her discomfort, but couldn't know why, Ron seemed fine, but she knew him better than anyone else, maybe she noticed something the rest hadn't.

"Buffoon!" A glare from the guests stopped him "I mean, Stoppable we have a little more, are you up to it? Be warned this wont be easy at all!"

Ron nodded, wanting to end this hoping it had been useful at least. But also feeling pretty good at himself, no longer he would be useless in a fight, putting Kim in danger, he could be a better distraction, actually help her instead of just being there to be saved by her. She could now focus in what she did best, saving the world.

Drakken activated a comand, and like before, the beehive like logo was replaced by a D. The biggest door in the room opened, and everyone prepared for what was to come. Expecting a huge robot, hence the side of the door, they were surprised when nothing was heard, only a little moving sound. Drakken activated another button and the D, turned upside down resembling little horns, and everyone finally noticed what had come from the doors.

Ron that was in the same level had seen it before them, and was surprised when the little Diablo toy came walking towards them. A flood of memories came to him, Bueno Nacho being taken over, Erik, Kim believing him, and the Prom. In front of him the little toy begun growing, and now was taller than Warhok had been.

Drakken had forgotten to turn off the mic, so when Kim gasped and called his name, all her unease forgotten, he went white and had enough time to push a blue button that raised a shield, protecting them.

Two seconds later the shield had been proven necessary, since the control room was attacked by the Diablo, first punching it, then shooting their hot plasma towards them. "Drew! Whats happening?!" Shego wanted to murder him, she had trusted him and now that thing was trying to kill them "Its not my fault! Its hers!" He pointed at Kim who was on the verge of strangling him, a look shared with the rest "How is it my fault?!"

"The Diablos have a set of priority targets, who do you think is the first one in the list, it overrides any kind of secondary objective. So your fault!" Drakken was typing furiously and Wade and James Possible were already trying to accelerate the process. "And who didn't disable that now that we were coming genius? Stop this now, Ron's in there with that thing!" She also didn't trust the shield made by Drakken, but she was more worried about Ron.

It was Hannah's giggle and comment from Mr Stoppable that stopped them "I don't think that is going to be a problem, at least not from him" Now that the shouting had stopped instead of silence the monkey screams were growing by the second, it also seemed that the room had darkened, but a blue light was coming from Ron, who was now was crouched in all fours, twisting his body almost painfully as a small energy aura surrounded him. Debris had floated but crashed a second later, when Ron opened his eyes. Both mothers in the group gasped when they noticed how their loving son, now suddenly had a blue skin, how his hair was blowing with a wind that came from nowhere, but above all his eyes were what shook them the most. The soft and deep brown had been replaced by and intense electric blue. He didnt look at all like the Ron they loved.

Kim and Shego had seen this before, and were more prepared than the rest, but it still shook them. Kim forced herself to remember how he had came back to her before, that he was still the Ron he loved. It worked.

Ron grabbed the Diablo by the leg and threw him to the other side of the room. Before it could react Ron was on top of it, punching its chest with both hands. The Diablo started glowing blue, and with a primal scream Ron tore it apart, cutting him in two. He turned towards the control room, more serene, but still blue.

Drakken almost screamed, not because he had destroyed it, but how he had done it "Buffoon dont do that! Do you have any idea what you have done?!"

Mrs Stoppable was about to slap the mad scientist, and Shego might even let her, when James talked "Those Diablo's were produced with the Hephestus project right?" His wife and daughter looked at him couriously, but understanding came to his sons.

They launched at the mic to warn Ron, but a mechanic sound coming from behind Ron stopped them.

Ron turned in time to see both halves of the Diablo standing up, he almost expected them to rebuild themselves, however they started repairing themselves, at the same time, now instead of one there were tow Diablo's standing in front of him.

Shego was the first to react "Stop them now Drew!" but Drakken slumped "I cant"

She spun him around, and even Kim was shocked t the worry an anger in her eyes "What do you mean you cant! You told me you prepare for this! Drakken..." He noticed this had been the first time since the invasion she called him like that, he didn't like it at all "Of all the mistakes you made this one is the biggest one!"

"I've been trying, it just wont work, I don't know if they entered a safe phase of auto preservation or if he altered the programming with all that energy!"

Wade that had been trying to do that aagreed with him, it was probably the damage it suffered, but suddenly his eyes grew as plates while looking at the screens "There are more Diablos activating, soon every single one of them will be functional!"

"That is impossible! They shouldn't be able to do that! Where is the signal coming?" James answered that it was coming from the roof and Drakken's face lighted up "Shego! Destroy the antenna! NOW!"

Shego didn't wast any second and run to the roof with her hand already turned on. Once there she blasted with all she got, and it soon fell. It hadn't taken her more than a few minutes, but when she came back to the control room, there were a total of six Diablos, all fighting Ron who was trying unsuccessfully to stop them. But there were just to may, when he went to pound one another would grab him, while he didn't seem hurt his clothes were burnt in some places, clearly from the flamethrowers. A seventh Diablo seemed to be in the middle transforming himself into another thing "What is happening?! I destroyed the tower why hadn't them shut down?"

Drakken had the grace to look guilty "I never shut of the mic, they heard everything and one of them, now all, reconfigured a small radius antenna and they are stopping Stoppable from reaching that one that its converting itself into an antenna. If it manages, there is nothing we could do.

Ron had been trying to stop them, but it was getting harder and harder, not only he was fighting six robots, he could feel more coming from the door. He was stronger than them, if he had the time he could defeat them, nut he didn't have the time. They weren't trying to beat him, they probably realized that they couldn't, they were just stalling. He could defeat them alone, but he couldn't save the day alone. He need her. He looked at the control center, and despite not knowing exactly where she was he knew he was staring directly at her eyes.

Kim had never felt more useless than at this moment. Ron was better than her in every sense, and even then he couldn't stop them. Even with her super suit she didn't know what she could do. And this time Ron wasn't there to tell her to get a grip, she felt ashamed that Ron was part of her problem. Now that he had stepped up, he didn't need her, he could save the world alone. It hurt, not the saving the world, but the knowledge that he didn't need her, because despite all she had accomplished, she didn't know what her life would be without him.

Then his gaze found her, and she finally understood. Those eyes, even glowing blue looked at her with affection, and all her worries about him being her Ron dissapeared. Those eyes were asking her the same thing she should be asking herself. Why wasnt she there to help him? Each other had done amazing things, saved the world, mastering sixteen martial arts, becoming the youngest teacher in history. Each one at their own they had done the impossible, beating odds day after day.

But together? What she had tohought while seeing her destroyed hpouse? That together they could really do the impossible, together they were truly unstoppable. Yes he had stepped up, he could do a lot of things she couldnt, but the contrary applied too, before they were an incredible match, but together there was nothing they couldnt do. "Drop the shield, its time to even the odds"

Wade followed her instructions, like he always did and watched as a smirking Kim jumped in the middle to stand next to Ron, creating a shield around them. It wouldn't last much, but it was all the time she needed.

Diablos showering them with green plasma, Ron using all his powers, a madness of light and sound and she kissed him right in the middle of it. Ron grabbed her by the waist and deepened the Kiss.

Neither family had ever seen them in a mission, not on this level, and suddenly realized why they were so successful in their missions. They had each other. They drew strength from each other. The Possible family was specially proud that all those years ago Ron had became her friend.

Wade realized that the shield should have gone out by now, but was surprised to find the energy levels rising, another thing caught his attention it seemed that every Diablo in the bunker were coming online.

Ron broke the kiss and smiling at her extended her arms pushing away the Diablos, just in time for Shego to join the fight "You really choose the best moments to make out princess, but your little friend says we don't have a lot of time"

Kim smiled at her and turned to Ron "Think you can distract them? We can deal with the antenna while you play with the others"

Ron smirked and his aura along with the sounds coming from his body grew "I think I can manage" A soft peck in her lips was his way of saying he had her back. He jumped towards one, crashing into him and pushing it towards the wall, pounding it. It broke the focus of the others on Kim for a second, giving Shego and her enough time to reach the antenna. While Shego protected her she placed her hand on it and called Wade "Wade disable it now!" She didn't know if he actually could do it, but she trusted him as much as he trusted Ron. He would never disappoint her.

Ron meanwhile was trying to distract them, but they were many and wouldn't take long before they realize that he couldn't handle all six of them and avoid one to attack Kim, and he could feel that many more were coming. Trusting his new powers, doing the same that with the synthodornes, and hoping it would work he extended his hand trying to freeze all of them, he continued towards those that were waking up, even those that were still inactive. Suddenly all of them stopped, in time for Wade to stop the antenna. That threat was over but he realized that the other Diablos were still working. He could feel them trying to get free.

He got an idea, and hoped it would work. When before he had pushed them away, releasing them from his hold, this time he didn't release them. He was pushing and pulling at the same time and he felt the weight of all of them in his hands, straining to get free.

In the control room red alerts were popping everywhere "He is doing way too much damage, his applying contrary forces at the same time on every single on of them! He has to stop now!"

"Why? That will destroy them right?" asked Mr Stoppable

"Its too much, they can't contain all that energy, its going to blow! Be ready to push the blue button!" Drakken run to the door that Kim and Shego had used with could only be considered panic "Shego get out of there now! ITS GOING TO BLOW!"

Ron heard him and looked in Kim and Shego's direction, but a second too late Kim realized he wasn't looking at her but at Shego, who grabbed her by the waist "DREW NOW!" a tendril shoot towards them and with Kim struggling to go to Ron they were pulled away.

Once inside James pushed the button and the force field protected them "Everyone cover now!" The blue light coming from Ron was getting brighter and brighter, and the monkey screams were getting louder, the light was blinding then with could only be described as a scream of pure agony, everything went straight to hell.

The shield managed to protect them but they still felt the shock, and he could see his daughter punching the door to check on Ron once she recovered. A dark smoke covered them, when the emergency systems started. The smoke was cleared and now they could see that Ron was still in one piece but his aura had diminished considerably. He was for sure not an expert on magic, but he was pretty sure that it wasn't a good sign. The smoke cleared he deactivated the shield and Kim didn't waste a second. His wife and Ron's mother a second later.

They all stopped near Ron since he still had his powers activated but his look seem different, lost and ready to strike. Nonetheless Kim took a step towards him and Ron, and the maniac look dissipated when he looked at her and some sorto of sense coming to his look, his aura dissapearing and felling to the ground.

Kim grabbed him before he could hurt his head and put his head in her lap, gently stroking his hear. Her mother already recovered checked his vitals, glad he was breathing and with a steady pulse. When he groaned and slowly opened his eyes she sighed in relief, but he was going to spend the rest of the night in the hospital where she would make sure he took every exam known to man. Much like Kim the day before, now that his eyes turned Brown again she could reconcile the Ron from before with this new one. He might have new things to him, but he was still the Ron they all loved.

His mother was just glad he was OK and asking how he was feeling.

Ron looked at the most important woman in his life, and noticed James and his dad coming with Hannah and Wade and could only grin, grin that almost made Kim Possible cry with relief "Honestly I am starving!"

Sorry it took so long, I had a new job, and was harder than I thought to to get used to it. Now there is one more thing to this story, an epilogue, that I will do my best to write as soon as possible. Again I'm really sorry for the mistakes, and hope you all understand. For a final note in the last part I used italics to show what was happening at the two parts at the same time. Hope you could understand it.

Hope you enjoyed it!
