Part I

This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
And ride that highway in the sky

This is for all the single people
Thinking that love has left them dry
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
You never know until you try

Well, I'm on my way
Yes, I'm back to stay
Well, I'm on my way back home (Hit it)

This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
And never take you down or never give you up
You never know until you try

Lonely People

This is how this mission began for Team Possible.

Sol System 63 million years ago…

The People…

That was how they saw themselves and were Known… across the Universe.

A Mighty yet Compassionate Race of Beings…

Their home was a humble star system…

They were fighting a losing battle against a foe that refused to be stopped…

The Groupmind was in session…

'We will have to sacrifice ALL to stop this foe… make ready The Destruct… it's the ONLY way…'

'And our heirs?' a voice in the Groupmind said.

'They will survive… IF their Champion makes The Choice… I HAVE 'SEEN' IT!'

'So be it.'

An order was sent forth… The Destruct was activated… a world died… A Belt of Debris was formed… another was changed… and the foe was defeated…

A fragment of The People's homeworld flew towards her sister world and slew MOST life there… We know it as the Chixulub Event that killed the Dinosaurs.

Modern Day

11-15-2004
1407 Graymalkin Lane,
Salem Center
Westchester County, NY
AKA The X Mansion
The Danger Room
0530 hrs

Ronald Dean Stoppable had decided to start his day TOTALLY out of character this morn…

He had risen from bed while Kim, Sheila, and Rufus slept after an EXHAUSTING session with the Xmen in the Danger Room the day before, and was in said room now while it was in lockdown mode; conducting repairs and diagnostics to the computer systems therein.

'Man! I feel kinda bad… Guess we don't know our own strength! The LEAST the Ronman can do is help repair some of the damage we caused on the computer systems here… Good thing that Tony's teaching me how to fix Miranda's systems when she's damaged…' he thought as he checked a linkage behind an access panel with a logic probe and manual in hand, 'I'll just let the guys sleep… THEY deserve it! HEH! It was worth it though, to see the 'look' on Cyke's face when his blast hit KP's aura and turned into piñata candies!'

---

'Mmmmpphh…!' Kim Possible awoke in bed snuggled up to her partner Sheila Goble. 'Where's Ron?' she thought as she eased out of bed.

"No… stay…" Sheila mumbled.

"Shhh. Go back to sleep." Kim whispered as she kissed Sheila's forehead.

"'k." Sheila mumbled then went back to sleep.

'It's not like him to wake this early! Hmmm.' Kim noticed that his kit bag had been rummaged through.

'…'

She grabbed her bag, went into the bathroom, showered; dressed in a mint crop top, blue capri's, steel toed sneakers and roamed through the mansion.

'Hmm, he's not here either!' she thought as she exited the kitchen. 'He's shielding himself too…' she mused as she went to the 1st floor access to the Xcomplex below.

Lagrange 2 point or L2.
61,500 km
from the Lunar
Surface…
On The Dark Side
Of The Moon

The Monstrosity's 'stealthed probe' sat awaiting its command…

'Begin.' He sent.

A transmission was beamed via the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe to the Earth below…

Its target…

---

Meanwhile another party geared themselves to help…

---

Kim walked into the open Danger Room… and saw Ron was on his knees, shoulders deep in the bowels of the Danger Room's systems. 'Think I'll have some fun!' Shielded Kim. She reached forward and tickled his butt through Ron's coverall.

'It's a damned shame about Mankey… Smith did a NUMBER on him… the Lab Boys said he went after Sheila 'cause he figured she'd kill him instead of letting him hurt me or Kim… I hope he gets better… They don't see much hope… at least his hand'll be fine with more treatment… His art career's not over… YOW!' he rambled as he searched for the flaw… "CLANK!" "OWWW!" Ron cried as he was tickled and banged his head on a linkage box.

"WHAT THE… oh… hi KP." Ron said to his BF/Beloved GF as he looked at her over one shoulder.

"SORRY! … Hi. Ron what are you doing? Come back to bed." Kim said.

"Sorry KP, I was just trying to help… the Prof said there's a glitch in here somewhere… I was trying to fix it… Wanna Help?" Ron asked.

"Nah. I'll…!" The Danger Room's systems activated! "RON!"

"It's NOT me KP, I SWEAR… the Room's in lockdown!" Ron said as he popped out of the access panel and ran with/dragged/shoved Kim through the Danger Room's door before it slammed shut trapping him inside!

Kim slapped the Panic Button and tried to figure out how to get Ron OUT!

---

'Charles… WAKE UP!' Mar-Vell said to Charles Xavier, leader of the Xmen as the Klaxon sounded off throughout the mansion, 'RON STOPPABLE NEEDS YOUR HELP!'

"Mar-Vell… What?" he said as he woke next to his beloved; Lilandra Nerimani, Empress of the Shi'ar. "Charles what is… MAR-VELL…!" she cried.

"HURRY CHARLES, RON'S IN TROUBLE… A FOE HAS ACTIVATED THE DANGER ROOM'S LETHAL SETTING! HE'S TRAPPED INSIDE!" he said before he vanished.

Charles summoned the Xmen and hurried below with Lilandra following…

---

They found Kim banging on the Danger Room's door…

'Kim! What happened?' Charles sent while Hank McCoy, Scott Summers, Logan, Kitty Pryde, Lilandra, Sheila, and Rufus tried to gain access to the Danger Room.

'Ron was working on the systems in the Danger Room while they were in Lockdown… and they came on! He threw me out of there before it went to Lethal Mode! He's NOT answering me on the Link!' she wept.

"BAM BAM BABAAMMM!" came from inside the room! "Hurry! Maybe we can do something from the Control Room!" Charles said as he popped the door open and guided his chair inside.

Kim, Sheila, and Rufus followed him into the Control Room and beheld a strange sight…

Ronald Dean Stoppable…

Kim, Sheila, and Rufus' partner…

Was GLOWING a deep Shadowy Lapis Blue…

Clothed in Hanuman's armor…

EFFORTLESSLY fighting the Danger Room's threats…

And was ENJOYING himself!

"FALL BEFORE THE MIGHT OF HANUMAN!" he ROARED as he ravaged his 'foes'.

'Did you know he could DO that?' Sheila to Kim. 'no.' "WOW!" Rufus.

Ron wove through the traps and used his Bo to trash them as he passed through. Flamethrowers, buzzsaws, spikes, energy cannon and other weaponry fell before his eldritch might.

The Room switched tactics and threw Gladiator AND Juggernaut at him!

Charles ran a diagnostic and detected a signal! "There's an override signal from an external source! I CAN'T BLOCK IT!" he cried.

Kim activated the Room's PA and gave him the news…

"FEAR NOT! I SHALL VANQUISH THE FOE!" he rumbled. Ron/Hanuman BOUND Gladiator with the Bo, grasped Juggernaut by his helm and ripped it off! "NOW I SHALL SUBDUE THEE!" he said as he slammed him headfirst into the floor and rendered him 'unconscious'.

Cyclops ran into the Control Room, "Professor, the Room's shields are blocking us! Can't Kim use her powers to pop the door open? SOMETHING?"

"No. We'll just have to wait. Her Powers could make things worse. She doesn't have enough control yet…" 'God help us…'

---

Mar-Vell 'flew' towards the Moon…

Went to the Dark Side…

Saw a HUGE, Asteroid sized machine sitting in the Lagrange 2 point…

Got the impression that it 'KNEW' he was there.

Then… It vanished!

'It begins.' He thought as he went back to the Xmansion.

---

Meanwhile…

Ron/Hanuman plucked several hairs from his head, threw them into the air, summoned his Bo, and conjured a multitude of duplicates to fight Gladiator while he ripped the room's systems to pieces.

"AAAGHH!" 'Gladiator' screamed as he was dismembered by the duplicates…

Then the systems stopped!

Ron CHANGED into Hanuman and repaired the Room with a flourish…

"THANK YOU MY FRIENDS FOR THE SPORT… WHEN YOU NEED ME I SHALL RETURN!" and was gone leaving a slightly confused Ron Stoppable in his wake!

"Ron… Hon… are you ok?" Kim asked on the PA as Sheila cut through the glass, leaped down to him and hugged him tightly.

"Uh… Yeah… Hey that was pretty cool! Sorry Prof. I was just trying to help…" Sheepish Ron. 'Sheila I'm ok. Really.' He sent as he hugged her.

"That's ok Ron. We're glad you're ok. Scott, notify the other Xmen, tell them the Danger Room's offline until we've got this override problem solved." Charles said.

"Yes Sir."

Mar-Vell appeared in the Danger Room before Ron and Sheila! "Ron! The People's Foe has returned… But they're different. Be on your guard." 'He's HERE…!' Kim.

"Yes Sir." '!' Sheila and the Xmen.

"Empress Lilandra… make ready… Your friends in the Skrull, Kree, and other empires will need to know." He said as he showed her what he'd seen.

"I will… thank you Mar-Vell." She said.

"I will do what I can. Ron, I'll see you later!" He was gone.

End Part I
