Ron flipped forward into Rembrandt's attack, sprung up, rotated bodily around his extended right arm, clawed it open above the elbow along the brachial artery, and demolished his shoulder… "CRACK!"
"Ugh!" the terrorist grunted.
"Give up." Ron growled as he silently landed behind him.
"No." Rembrandt hissed as he drew a flashbang, threw it at Ron and ran in the opposite direction. "BANG!"
Ron closed his eyes, sensed his foe, and gave chase 'til, "Ahem."
'Gotta let him go. Stay focused on the mission.' Ron thought as he turned to the Red Major. "Let her go."
"You Americans… Always telling the rest of us how to live. It sickens me to see one such as yourself… So full of life… So tell me." The Major said as he drew his kukri knife and placed it under Shego's chin, "Should she live… Or Die?"
'Gotta think fast… Weapon… where? …!' "She should live… I don't like her…" Ron said as he grabbed something in his pockets, "But that doesn't mean you or I have the right to kill her… I've NEVER heard of Shego killing someone… at least someone that didn't have it coming…" he said as he relaxed and pulled his hands out of his pockets, 'Gotta click into the rhythm like Chiun said.' Ron focused…
"Empty your hands." The Major said to Ron, "I know about your powers."
Ron did so and let most of his change fall to the floor, placed his hands behind his head and stepped forward…
"Very good. Now come over here." The Red Major said. "If you're wondering why they call me 'Red Major' it's because I'm descended from Erzebet Bathory, and like her, I enjoy bathing in the blood of my enemies… That's close enough." He hissed as Ron came within 7'.
'Bastard's gonna do her! Wait for it…' Ron relaxed, 'Let it kick in…'
The Major tensed his arms and began to slide the blade across Shego's throat…
Ron heard the glide and grind of The Major's joints as they prepared to engage…
Ron's hands flicked from behind his head and…
"pop! CRACK! Ting!" The Red Major fell lifelessly to the floor and the kukri was shattered into shards!
Ron blurred forward after pithing the Major's good eye and head with 3 pennies. 'Thank God for Abe Lincoln. Hang On Girl!' he thought as he unbolted her from the cross, "Screech!" 'Fucker had her bolted to this damn thing through her wrists and feet…' "I gotcha…"
"Ohhh…! You've gotta stop it… The Tapeworm… Allied attack'll fail if you don't… Can't miss it… he put it in a scarlet Red Army armored case… destroy it if you have to… Betty's orders… Ron…" Shego passed out in a stunned Ron Stoppable's arms.
'!' 'How…? no time…' Ron gently leaned Shego against a crate and ran through the maze…
"Ron!" Chiun cried from his left in a cul de sac filled with biomedical technoscrap.
"Chiun!" Ron.
"I have broken the devices… why are you thrashing around here like a blind ape?" he asked. "Sinanju is wasted on such as you… and…"
"Uh there's a thing called the Tapeworm… it's set to destroy the Allied attack on the enemy positions I guess…" he replied. 'Damned War in Bosnia.'
"Have you learned nothing? Listen!"
Ron did so…
He paid attention to his body…
To the last molecule of his being…
And he sensed…
Something!
Ron let his body guide him toward the disturbance…
And found the case Shego had described.
It was a yard square case that was welded shut!
'Ok. Hmmm. Gotta do what I do best.' Ron ran his hands across the case, 'Titanium…! There!' Ron 'tapped' the case's weld with a blur of motion at the weld's weakest points…
"Ping! ssss." The case popped open to reveal a nightmare of monolithic high density electronics.
"Hmmm. When in doubt…" he said as he looked at the couplings, "pull the plug."
"ZZzzt!" One dead and fused Tapeworm is in the house.
"And to make sure." Ron rummaged through the arms stores, found the items he was looking for, set them, hooked up with Chiun and left with Shego.
"C'mon Little Rabbi! Gotta GO!" he cried as they commandeered a jeep and barreled out of The Pits.
"BOOOOOM! BADAMMM!" What was left of the warehouse was destroyed in the hail of missiles that NATO Command sent that day.
"So what did you use my son?" Chiun asked Ron as he tended to Shego's wounds.
"Uh. I shorted it out and set thermitized RDX through the site, Little Rabbi?" Ron asked as he drove them to their rendezvous point.
"She will live. Her will is strong."
"Good." 'But her soul?'
