Darkness shrouded Kim. She wasn't aware of anything around her…other than barely audible echoes…slowly; the darkness bore a dim, white horizon… that slowly widened…
"Am…am I…"
"No honey, you're quite alive and well…"
The voice sounded like music to Kim's ears….
"Mom!"
As the horizon, got larger, the light slowly cleared… Figures began appearing…blurry at first, then sharpening with every second. She saw many faces that were initially showing worry, but eventually were showing smiles of relief... She leaned up from the chair she was in… The garage was different… Things were not where they were originally… some things even appeared damaged, but loosely put aside. She looked over her shoulder… Ron was still unconscious. The components of the device, which was between the chairs, was missing… and seemingly ripped away forcefully…Kim then realized what happened…
"Shego!" she shouted, trying to get up forcefully… but was stopped by Mrs. Possible as well as Mrs. Stoppable…
"Relax honey… you're still suffering from the effects. We actually thought for a moment that you weren't going to make it back."
"Good thing we implemented that fail safe in case the system had to be shut down."
Wade appeared…with a slight cut over his left eye…he was limping slightly.
"Wade! What happened?" Asked a shocked Kim,
"Shego seemingly found us and lunged at me…knocking me out of my seat and threatening to let her know what we were doing…"
"We tried to stop her, and was about to attack, when she held Wade and threatened to harm him." Mr. Possible stated, "We didn't want to take any chances…"
Kim took everything in, wishing that she were there to stop Shego. She felt badly for Wade getting hurt. Wade, seeing his friend's expression, gave her a promising smile…
"Hey, don't worry about it…I'll be ok. Besides, you were tying to save Ron. Shego figured that unplugging you while online, would cause you to go brain dead…"
Kim nodded in acceptance, however little… just then she realized… Ron! He hadn't woken up as yet. Rufus was on his shoulder, hugging his friend. He tried waking him and Kim earlier and lost hope when they didn't. He did regain it though, when he saw Kim open her eyes. But Ron still hadn't…
"Why hasn't he gotten up?" she asked, her face full of worry.
"Kim, we were able to only fail safe the section of you entering…there wasn't any for him, as he was the host…"
It was as if her lungs left her. Her hope was drifting away. She watched her mother for some sign of good news... Mrs. Possible only shook her head. She went to Ron…He was breathing, but shorter than usual...
"Ron… Ron… can you hear me? It's K.P"
(Silence)
"Come on Ron, we need you to get up…Ron" Kim started to get anxious…5 minutes have passed..."
(Silence)
"This isn't funny…get up!" She started getting tears in her eyes...
(Silence)
"Ron, you can't do this… not to your family, not to mine… and certainly not to me. You can't leave me alone again!"
The room was deafeningly silent…if that is a term that could be used…Kim got up and walked away…holding her hand to her head. Everyone watched her, but couldn't say anything... what could they say? Kim felt as if she failed in her own mind. Maybe Drakken really did win after all…Not from taking over the world, but in taking away what was important to her. Just as she was about to walk out of the garage for a moment, a voice called out…
"Hey, is this like a dream or something? Mom? Dad? Row, Ruf..Rufus!"
Kim looked over, to see Ron… barely getting out of his chair…She ran to him…
"Ron! Ron you're ok!" hugging him.
"Kim? KP? Oh hey…hey, (coughing) quit it! My girlfriend may get so jealous…"
"Girlfriend? Ron I'm right here…" Kim, said, hoping it would help trigger a memory...
"Are you nuts! You're not my G.F! I can't hug you. This is strictly a work related thing. My girlfriend's gonna kill me if she finds this out. She's the big jealous type…"
"And her name is…" Kim's arms folded, with an expectant look in her eyes… Jealous?
"It's Yori? Is it? Yeah that's her name…"
Kim's temper went up. She knew Ron had feelings for Yori, even if he didn't say it out aloud…until now. Maybe they were undying feelings he had. So why then none of her? All the adults were shocked and confused as well… Yori? She sounds kind of… Asian.
"I KNEW you were crushing on her! I knew it!"
"Hey, what are you getting so worked up about? Besides, YOU're dating…uh…Joe? Um…yeah. Mankey! Josh Mankey! So what are you trying to do?"
Everything was just getting weirder to Kim... He thought Josh was still with her?. Just then, Wade came up with something…
"Kim wait! Maybe he's not sure of anything… You said that the registers were disintegrating and leaving the safe right?"
"Well, yeah they were just escaping through the door..."
"Then it's possible, that remnants of his memories are scattereing about… until there's enough to completely recreate a register of that memory... And it'll have to do that for all the registers…"
He looked to Ron.
"Ron, how about some Bueno Nacho?"
"Bueno….bueno…aww no, not that place! They got a weird mystery meat that just is SO nasty!" Kim's eyebrow went up...
"See my point?" Wade stated. Everyone was wide eyed… especially Kim. Wade turned to her father…
"Ron, who is this guy?" Poining to Mr. Possible
"Uh, well he looks like…AH don't fire me on that rocket!" I swear that I didn't touch Bonnie!"
Everyone shouted… "Bonnie?"
"Well duuh…" Ron stared… "You know, your daughter? I I swear she came on to me that one time..."
"Ron, one more question... Mystical monkey power... do you know anything about it?"
"Well, isn't there like a television show like that? The guy is awesome though.."
Wade continued...
"His memories are all over the place. Nothing will make much sense other than what he knows here for the moment."
Everyone realized that Ron wasn't making sense of anything…and understood why. Kim felt ashamed. Was she going to go off the handle again? She looked to the floor, just before turning to face Ron…
"Look, I didn't mean to freak out like this…Wade, maybe you need to go with me on this one... We need to find Drakken..."
(Drakken…..drakken……drakken….drakken)
It echoed and echoed in Ron's mind…why did that name sound familiar? And in a flash, memories of a blue man's face kept flying by… last thing coming to him laughing and firing a blast… the light hitting him. It forced him into a rage…
"DRAKKEN!"
Everyone turned in shock to face Ron, who was talking to Wade…
"We gotta go after Drakken! Kim. What's the plan?"
Kim wasn't sure what to think. She just thought he was still forming thoughts in his mind.
"Ron, just take it easy. Maybe you need to sit this out a bit. You're not making much sense..." She said.
"Look, KP, I don't know everything that's happening and maybe it's all a little screwy around here... and I'm not even sure what's going on around. I know we have issues with each other as well, but something's telling me we need to find Drakken... and Stop him!"
"Ron, maybe this isn't the time to-" Ron stopped her, looking into her eyes...
"Kim, all I am asking you to do, is trust me, please. Let me go with you. This isn't about me now... it's about stopping Drakken!"
Kim knew that tone… Ron was serious. He wanted more than anything to go after Drakken. Something terrible must have triggered him for him to respond in the manner he did…all for which Kim was more than happy to oblige. Rufus, who for most this situation, did not say much, jumped on His friends shoulder. He was not going to miss this for the world. Besides, Ron may definitely need his help this time…She put whatever feelings aside, and then spoke up…
"Wade, get a hold of Drakken's signal. We're going to have a little reunion…"
