In the story "After Action", several friends, relatives, and acquaintances of Team Possible take a more active roll in the rescue / crime-fighting / save-the-world business while Ron recovers from serious injuries. And when the original members of Team Possible are back in fighting shape, the new members stand along side them. Together they create a force for justice and peace rarely seen outside cartoons.
These are the stories of that recovery, as well as the basic, average girls and guys of Middleton and what inspires them to save the world.
You can't stop them 'cause they're TEAM POSSIBLE, INC.

Author's Note
Normally I put these notes at the end of the chapter, but this is an unusual case.
If you skipped chapter 7, let me bring you up to speed.
1. Ron's mom is in labour.
2. All the Stoppables and Possibles in the area, as well as several friends, are at the hospital.
3. The hospital is under lockdown because,
4. Monkey Fist just forced his way past a guard to enter the building.
5. Monique and Hirotaka encountered monkey ninjas at the loading docs.
6. Joss and Yori ran into more monkey ninjas on the roof.
Got all that? Then let's get dangerous. (Oops, wrong show.)

Lord Fiske claims his monkey ninjas are among the most disciplined warriors on the planet. None the less, when monkeys fight, it tends to be a very messy affair.
SPLAT
"What did you…? On my new jacket? Oh that better NOT be what I think it was, monkey boy!"
"Send the bill to Monkey Fist after the battle, Monique-san. We must keep these monkeys from entering the hospital!"
With a one-two punch combo that would have done a Golden-Gloves contender proud, Monique stunned the simian that ruined her windbreaker and knocked him in an open trash dumpster.
Hirotaka looked to Monique for a moment. He was most impressed with her strength and rage. If she trained herself to use them properly, she would be a most formidable combatant. However, the reason he was watching his companion fight was because of the four monkeys approaching from his rear. To take him by surprise, they thought.
In the half second before the monkeys leapt, Hirotaka dove and tackled three of the four. Although he had never watched a Tri-City Rugby League match, he used the same maneuver Steve Barkin employed to stop three defenders while his team made the winning score in last year's championship game.
The ninja that escaped Hirotaka's grasp then moved to Monique as she was pulling off her soiled jacket. The monkey grappled Monique from behind and bit her. Fortunately for her, he was only able to sink his teeth into the poly-cotton shell. Before the masticating monkey could remove his teeth, Monique went GWA on his monkey hide and had him pinned. Soon she had her opponent trussed like a turkey.
Hirotaka, meanwhile, began knocking his three monkey skulls together like a scene out of a "Three Stooges" short. Soon, the little ninjas he tackled were tied up like Monique's foe, in the classic See-No-Evil, Hear-No-Evil, and Speak-No-Evil poses.
The first monkey that had been knocked in the trash then recovered and set his sights squarely on Hirotaka. With a screech he began leaping out from the bin, only to have Monique slam the lid shut.
As they secured their attackers, Monique commented, "I once had a boyfriend who wanted me to tie him up. That's when I cut him loose. Never thought I'd be doing it to a monkey!"
"That sounds like a most fascinating tale. One you could, perhaps, demonstrate for me at a later time? But for now, we must insure that no other intruders entered the hospital.
Monique and Hiro then sealed the loading dock doors and set about looking for any other primates with more than two opposable digits.

On the roof, Joss' red flannel shirt and blue jeans were like a target for the monkeys' missile attack. What upset her most was how the smell made her homesick.
Joss and Yori were badly outnumbered. The entire ventilation / air conditioning system ended in a series of large ducts on the roof. Fortunately, all were heavy and securely bolted, so the monkeys had to work to get them open. This allowed the two young ladies enough time to force the monkeys away from the vents, one at a time. But it would only be a matter of time before one got through.
"We need some sorta" KICK "distraction to draw these" PUNCH "critters away, Yori!"
"Regrettably, Joss-san," WHAM "the only warrior I know who could" GRAB "provide such a distraction is several floors below us" THROW "and unable to get to our location."
"Think Joss," she said to herself. SPLAT "Yori can do just about anything Kim can do." STING "What would Ron do to help her? Use the" TWEAK "power of imagination, girl."
Looking up, Joss got a ridiculous idea. But they were losing, and anything would be better than that. Leapfrogging the monkey charging her, Joss made her way over to the flagpoles on the roof.
Skipping the US and state flags, Joss went to the poles with the banners for the corporate owners and HAL 9000 compliance. Releasing the halyards, she swung out on the line and slammed into a band of monkeys. Looking like a ball on a rope through bowling pins at the county fair.
"YEE-HA! Joseph City Middle School tetherball champ strikes again!"
With several monkeys distracted or stunned, Yori used a spin kick combo (one she developed while posing as a figure skater) to start knocking the little enemies into the Kiss-And-Cry seat. Not much kissing today, but there was a little crying.
Finally, Yori began to wrap up monkeys in banners and halyards with Joss. Just like she and Kim tied up gorillas with tapestries when they rescued Sensei.
"That was a most foolish and dangerous thing to attempt. Had you failed, the monkey ninjas would have overwhelmed me most assuredly. You were immature, irresponsible, and above all else, very Stoppable-like. Ronald-san would have been impressed."
"'Twern't no big, Yori. Just doin' the side kick thing."
They pulled a window washer's scaffold to the roof and tied down the monkeys. Then Joss and Yori lowered the scaffold down to a waiting security guard.
"Well come on Yori. I got a hankerin' to spank some more monkey!"
Yori was grateful to be behind Joss. The young ninja's blush was brighter red than the hair on the head of any Possible woman.

Monkey Fist and his entourage of three monkey ninjas made their way through the building slowly. Huge orderlies and security guards blocked every door and hall. The hospital staff did not stand a chance.
Pepper spray, stun guns, night sticks; all of it worked quite well. On the guards, that is. Anything even remotely like a weapon soon ended up in the hands, feet, or prehensile tails of the intruders.
They went to the elevators, but found them shut down. Almost as if someone hacked into the system and overrode all their controls.
Not that it mattered much. The Monkey party just went up the shaft without waiting for the car.
As they climbed, Fiske had his minions stop at different floors to further stretch out the security of the facility.
- - - - -
The first monkey slid down the cable to the basement with the intent of disrupting the mechanical systems of the building. Throw a monkey wrench into the works, if you will.
As he forced the elevator door open wide enough to leave the shaft, the simian assassin was spotted by two teens in the cafeteria.
"Hica-bica-boo?"
"Hoo-sha!"
Though not as stealthy or fast as a ninja, the Tweebs were still quite adept at getting past any lock you might care to describe. The lock, however, was unlikely to survive.
With pockets filled with useful items from the cafeteria, Jim and Tim made their way into the boiler room.
The ninja had just forced open the control panel for the boilers when he found himself in a blast of very cold carbon dioxide.
No matter where he went, the discharge from the fire extinguisher followed. When the stream finally spent itself and the monkey was able to face his attacker, the first thing he saw was the empty fire extinguisher flying straight towards him.
He jumped to his left. Right into the arms of Tim Possible who bit down on a packet of lemon juice aimed at the monkey's eyes.
With a screech, he broke free and leapt to the overhead pipes.
While his brother had the intruder's attention, Jim Possible let fly a Red Delicious. The ninja turned his head and caught the apple in his impressive teeth. Now fully aware of his opponents, the monkey gnawed on the fruit while both sides considered their next move.
The opportunity came when a pressure release valve on a boiler sent a hot cloud of water vapor into the room. The monkey used the slight cover to move to the door much faster than the twins.
At the entrance, the monkey gripped the knob to pull the heavy door open, only to have his hand sip off the handle. After the third attempt, he looked down to see the floor littered with butter-pat papers. Then he was gang tackled by the youngest Possibles.

On the third floor, Middleton Police Officer Hobble, on his day off, was visiting another officer. Although out of the academy less than a year, young Gordon James was one of the best officers in Middleton. Now he was in traction after his leg was crushed by an eight-foot tall jackalope in the raid on DNAmy's lair.
As he was leaving, Officer Hobble told his friend, "I'll never understand that crazy woman. Sure, we tell the tourists about the jackalopes. But that doesn't mean we actually want to see any."
Once in the corridor, he saw something small and furry dive into the nurses' station. Picking up the courtesy phone, he dialed the security office, only to hear the recording announcing the lockdown.
"Wish I hadn't left my sidearm and radio in the truck."
Looking through the door, he saw the fur-ball tearing up the staff break room, and terrorizing one young nurse who was just trying to go home when the lockdown was announced.
Hobble may not have been the best who ever wore the badge. But he had two things working in his favor now. First, as an old farm boy, he knew how to handle animals. Second, with a professional lifetime's experience dealing with all manners of drunks, DUIs, and general crazys, he was uniquely capable of dealing with suspects who were random, inclined to fight, and stronger and faster than they appeared.
He grabbed a towel from a laundry cart and a paperweight from the desk. Next he wrapped the towel around his right arm with the weight in his fist. Then he staggered into the break room.
"Nurse, you gotta help me! My arm! It's, it's it's…"
When the monkey looked away from the nurse, Hobble stumbled forward and hit the little ninja with all that a brass-knuckle-powered punch can deliver.
Out weighing the smaller primate by over 100 pounds, Hobble had him pinned for the moment. Calling to the nurse, "If you have any sedatives, I think he could use one."
"But, but, I can't….it's a monkey!"
"Nurse! I'm MPD Officer Charles Hobble. This is an emergency. Get him a sedative for a 200-pound man. I'll take full responsibility.
"Ye…eee….es sir."
"Ok little guy. You just cost me my day off with all the paperwork I'll have to fill out now. And if the animal rights people decide to object, I might have to put in for early retirement. Why can't the villains leave Middleton out of their world conquering plans?

Author's Note
Yori a figure skater? That's a story I'll get to later. Sufice to say for now that after the Kerrigan / Harding affair, the ISU was willing to take extrordinary measures for security, including hiring ninja to pose as skaters. Besides, after Kerrigan did an "I'm Going To" commercial for Disney, I figure that the Mouse has his paws on skating as well.
No particular reason to stop here except that I thought the chapter was getting too long and it seemed like a good place for a commercial break.
Speaking of which. If you're reading KP FanFics, you probably have opinions about them. Why not share your opinion about which ones you think are best with the rest of the FanFic community?
Just go to ZARATAN's page before January 31, 2007 at http://intbike(DOT)com/fannie2(DOT)html and get the whole story of the Fannies. Then tune in Saturday, February 17, 2007 and see who walks home with the Golden Rufie. I have been assured that Joan and Melissa Rivers will NOT be working that red carpet.
