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

Monkey Ninjas have attacked the hospital, and Monkey Fist is arriving at the Obstetrics ward.

"Kim, he's almost here."

Just as Wade finished that statement, the elevator doors started to slide open.

"Sixth floor. Toiletries, notions, stationary, and false monkey masters. Everyone off."

The fact that Monkey Fist had arrived on the floor was bad enough. To see him laughing about it was nerve-wracking.

"Give it up, Monty!" Kim warned. "Turn around now and you just might slip past the police."

Wade was in the waiting room with Ron. James was in the corridor with Slim. Anne was working with the nurses and orderlies to do what they could to protect the patients. Kim took up a defensive stance right in front of the elevator.

"Miss Possible. As much as I enjoy sparing with you, I have business with one particular pretender this day. I really don't have time for you."

"EEEE-EEEE"

THUD

WOOOF

CRASH

And with that, the monkey with Fist knocked Kim into an empty room with a flying tackle and closed the door behind them.

"Thank you, Chippy. That girl can be so tiresome. Now on to business."

"Not another step, your Lordship. I don't know how you got out of prison after jeopardizing the Frederick mission, but I will not allow you to harm that young man."

"Dr. James Possible. Has it really been that long since we've seen each other? And who is this gentleman at your side with the strong family resemblance? A brother of yours, perhaps?"

"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm the man who's gonna teach y'all taxidermy from the inside."

"Such a strong western accent. Possible? Oh my! Is this Dr. Mills Possible? The man who irradiated half of Montana?"

"The press got the story of that accident all wrong. But what I do to you won't be no accident."

"My dear Dr. Possible, let me congratulate you. You have proven you can produce such a dastardly device. Destroyed your lab to erase its development. And made the world believe it was an accident! Now you're here in Middleton. No doubt to use the facilities of your brother's space-center to build more devices and / or delivery systems. Then you can use them for revenge or extortion at your leisure."

"I have worked with the worst, and the worst villains in the world. And I can assure you that no contemporary would be conqueror has advanced so far in such a plan. Not Draken, Dementor, Gemini, or the Seniors'. I am most impressed."

"I mean no disrespect to either of you gentlemen. And I would be most interested if to know if there might be some place for a person of my talents in your organization. But the business I have with the imposter is personal and a matter of honour. Now if you will please step aside?"

"We can take 'im, Squirt. Just like bringing in the bull."

"He certainly has enough bull to be one."

Meanwhile, in the closed room, Kim recovered from the stunning blow, pulled herself up from the floor, and looked over to her diminutive opponent. Only to see that he was not preparing to attack or defend, but was instead breaking objects and slamming doors all over the room.

"What in the world?"

And the monkey pulled off his mask and raised his empty hands, and feet, in surrender.

"Ok, why aren't you fighting?"

"EEEE-EEEE!"

"No, wait. You're that monkey that Ron thought I'd become, aren't you?"

"EEEE-EEEE!" he screeched while nodding furiously."

"You helped Ron escape from Monkey Fist to save me."

"EEEE-EEEE!" he screeched, still nodding.

"And now you want to help Ron again?"

And with that, he jumped to Kim. Taking her in a big hug and kissing her whole face.

"Ok, ok. It's good to see you again too. Chippy, right?"

"EEEE-EEEE!" and more nodding.

"All right, you're in. Let's go have a few words with your boss."

Back in the corridor, it is not a pretty scene. Dr. James Possible is reasonably athletic for a man his age. And Dr. Mills "Slim" Possible physically ran the ranch himself, in addition to his research. Together, they would have stood a better than average chance against almost any ordinary man.

However, Lord Montgomery Fiske is not ordinary. A lifetime dedicated to the study of a powerful ancient martial art. Genetically modified hands and feet to better utilize the style. And most of all, a recipient of the Mystic Monkey Power, the man is nearly unstoppable.

With great care, he laid the bloodied and unconscious forms of Slim and Squirt at the nurses' station. "When you are ready to take over the world, you would be well advised to find someone to do your fighting for you. Here's a card with my attorney's number. If you change your mind, give him a call. He can get a message to me."

"Wade, It's too quiet out there."

"Don't worry Ron, just hold very still."

CLICKITY CLICKITY CLICK

And with that, the waiting room was filled with lasers, just like Mr. Paisley's vault.

"Dude, you really do have the whole world wired!"

'Nah, I just know how to use the wires everyone else puts up."

At that point, the door to the waiting room swung open.

"Hmm, distinct electrical hum and the smell of ionized air. Let me check."

And Monkey Fist pulled a smoke pellet from his sleeve and tossed it into the room. It went a few feet before it was hit by a laser and exploded. The smoke it released identified all the other lasers in the room.

"A most impressive improvised defense, Dr. Load. I've been studying you ever since you managed to trick me with that hologram in my own home. I had hoped we might reach a mutually beneficial understanding. What a shame we must meet under these circumstances."

Monty smiled, pulled a small throwing knife out of his belt, and sent the blade between the lasers right into Wade's laptop. Destroying the portable PC and shutting down the defense grid.

"Sorry about this, Dr. Load. But I don't think you will want to see what's next." He then struck Wade on the back of the head, knocking him out immediately.

Sitting in his chair, Ron held the cane in his hand. With his eyes closed, he did everything he could to keep from glowing. He could feel the power flowing through him.

Rufus, on a shelf, pushed off a potted plant towards Fist. He easily caught the fern and threw it and several other objects back at the naked mole rat. His aim was too good and Rufus had to leave the room for cover.

"Now, pretender, it's just you and"

"US!" Kim yelled from the door. Rufus and Chippy were beside her.

"Chippy, I am so disappointed. Once again you betray me for the benefit of the false master and this troublemaking female? Very well then, you're fired. Even if I don't finish you off here today, the civil authorities in this country take a very dim view of animals that are known to attack humans. By the way, animals don't get trials."

"When Animals Gone Wild Attack" had nothing on this scene. Rufus and Chippy attacking as a team are most impressive because their techniques are so inherently different. While Chippy began a classic Tai Sheng Pek Kwar kata, Rufus climbed into the eccentric Englishman's gi.

Normally, it would have been easy for Fist to hold off and defeat Chippy. After all, Monty taught the monkey everything he knew and had secrets he never shared with his students. But with Rufus distracting the Monkey Master, Chippy was able to land several devastating blows. In the end however, Lord Fiske did send Chippy flying out of the room and did get both hands on Rufufs. Although to do that, he had to remove his jacket, revealing a black T-shirt over his hairy form.

Fiske, in capturing Rufus, had left his back to the door. Kim jumped into the action with a flying kick. The impact both allowed Rufus to break free and send him flying towards the window. Landing on the sill without even coming close to hitting the glass, Monty now gave Kim his undivided attention.

"Hmm. What was that line Draken often used? Oh yes. You think you're all that…"

"Here's a tip Fiske, quoting Draken does not tend to put me in a good mood."

Monkey Fist dove at Kim. She dodged by jumping over him in a scissors kick. Landing in splits in front of Ron.

"Miss Possible, only two people have ever been able to penetrate my defenses. One in now in police custody awaiting trial for her unauthorized experiments. The other is in this room, apparently unconscious, and in no shape to fight even if he were awake."

Fiske casually glanced over his shoulder to the still motionless Ron, and then back at Kim. "What would he do to me anyway? Hit me in the back with that ridiculous mole-rat cane of his?"

"Not a bad idea, monkey-man."

The voice seemed to be Ron's. But it didn't come from the sleeping form in the chair. It didn't seem to come from anywhere. A pale blue glow began to fill the room.

Without warning, a bright flash washed away all of reality, and Monkey Fist found him self face to face with a standing, glowing, Ron Stoppable, with the Lotus Blade in his hand. They were in an emptiness of nothing but them and a blue glow.

"I demand to know what is happening here!"

"What is happening is a challenge. Truly, no one alive is your superior at the physical and mental aspects of Tai Sheng Pek Kwar. So you are being challenged on the third tier. Spiritual."

"Are you supposed to be Stoppable's spirit?"

"That' one way of looking at the sitch. Perhaps a more accurate description would be to say that I am the Mystical Monkey Power that resides within Ronald Stoppable's spirit. The details are largely academic, for Ron and I are one."

"You don't even sound like the pretender."

"You hear me not with your ears or mind, but with your spirit. And your spirit translates as you will best understand."

"Is this supposed to frighten me? My fighting spirit is a least ten times greater than anything that bumbler might have."

"In what my be your greatest failure of the mental aspect of the art, you underestimate your opponent."

"If it were only your fighting spirit against Ron's, you would be closely matched. You might even have a small advantage. But the fighting spirit is often more than just what is in the fighter. Yours is a lonely spirit, indeed. The Spirit of Ronald Stoppable has allies, and will never be alone."

And with that, another glowing form appeared on Ron's shoulder.

"The RAT? I'm supposed to be intimidated by a rat?"

A pale pink glow grew into a bright red flash and Kim Possible was standing at the side of Ron Stoppable.

"So what's the sitch?"

"Lord Montgomery Fiske does not understand that he is out of his league."

Soon, in bright flashes of every colour of the rainbow and beyond, more friends stood by the side of Ron Stoppable's spirit. Yori, Hirotaka, and Sensei of Yamanouchi; Ron's mother, father, and a beautiful baby girl; Kim's parents and her brothers; Slim and Joss; Felix, Tara, Wade, and Monique; all stood side by side with Ron.

Monkey Fist desperately sent his spirit seeking. None of the human beings he ever worked with would ally themselves to his spirit. A few monkeys showed up, but faded away when they faced the spirit of the other monkey master. All the monkeys, that is, except for Chippy, who stood squarely by Ron's side.

"This is not a fair fight!" Monkey Fist protested.

"Attacking an injured opponent in a confined space filled not just with innocent bystanders, but with people who were helpless, sick, injured, and dying. People who had no chance to defend themselves, flee, or take cover. And people, who are not trained to fight, but will lay down their lives to protect their patients from villains like you. That is a 'fair fight', Lord Fiske?"

"I will have my revenge!"

"Revenge for what your Lordship, yet another mental failure on your part? Had you investigated Kim Possible before you asked for her help obtaining the jade monkey idol, you would have found enough to know that she and her team would not stand by after being tricked into doing your dirty work for nefarious purposes. Had you simply paid some mercenary or treasure hunter to do the job, Possible and Stoppable would not even have heard of you. At least not until it was far to late for them to do anything."

For the first time in his life, Montgomery Fiske knew defeat. He had been beaten before, but there was always opportunity for revenge. No, this time he was besieged, routed, surrounded, disarmed, and captured. When Kim Possible had found herself tied to a cactus the night of the prom, she knew that kind of defeat. Monkey Fist, unfortunately did not have his own Ron to lift his spirit and inspire him on to success. The broken Englishman fell to his knees and began to weep.

When he looked up, he was back in the waiting room. Ron Stoppable was in a wheelchair, holding the Lotus Blade at his throat. Kim, Rufus, and Chippy had him surrounded. And soon, Monique, Hirotaka, Yori, and Joss entered the room.

In a raspy voice, Ron asked "Yori, Hiro, will you escort Lord Montgomery Fiske to the police?"

"Of course, Ron-san."

As soon as the ninja left, Ron collapsed in his chair.

"RON!"

Weakly, he responded "It's ok KP. I just need some rest."

"Ronnie, what happened?"

"Monique, Joss, could you two take Wade out to the nurses' station?"

"Sure thing, Ron."

"And close the door on your way out, please and thank you," Kim added.

"Kim, Rufus, you two saw all that, didn't you?"

Kim nodded, Rufus squeaked "Uh-huh!"

"I got some of this from Sensei at Yamanouchi, and some just seems to come with the MMP. So don't ask me to explain how or why. But it seems that when someone is very close to you, a part or a reflection of that person's spirit remains in your memory. When my MMP drew in Monkey Fist for the confrontation, it would not let me face him alone. My spirit began calling the lives that had touched my life to again stand by me. There were even more awakening as Monty collapsed."

"But the other's didn't seem to notice anything."

"KP, Rufus, I think we know that our spirits are connected by more than just pleasant memories. I don't think anything could affect any of us on the spiritual level without it affecting all three."

Kim began to tear up as Rufus hugged her face.

"Come on Kim. Let's go see how your dad and Slim and Wade are doing. Then we can see if mom and dad are ready to show off my baby sister."

Over the next few hours, several dozen people made their way in and out of the emergency room and filed police reports. Of course, what everyone was really trying to do was get back into obstetrics. Mr. Daniel David Stoppable and Mrs. Paula Esther Stoppable née Gorski were introducing the world to little Miriam Angela Stoppable.

Author's Note

And with that, I call an end to "Team Possible Inc. Recruiting and Recovery." I've introduced almost everyone I need to the plot line. And I've given some examples of how I see the MMP working.

The TPI story will continue. Next up will be TPI Back to School. That will describe the last week of summer vacation and the start of the new school year up to the point Ron and Kim begin taking missions again. And it will include Ron's proposal. I wonder to whom he will propose? And what will that answer be?

Thanks for reading and for your reviews.

And by the way, 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.
