Chapter Five: Heroes

-Twelve Hours Later-

To use a term he'd applied to Kim many times, Ron was tweaked. Kim was doing that thing she did where she could hide herself from his Kryptonian senses and she'd apparently found a way to hide others as well since he couldn't pick out Tara's breathing or heartbeat, that or the blonde was already dead and Ron wasn't ready to contemplate that. With his biological powers rendered useless Ron had fallen back on the ones he'd gotten from some jade monkeys, but Mystical Monkey Power wasn't being particularly useful either. Picking out magic signatures was difficult enough under normal circumstances, but Kim was using the Omega Simia to do something and not only was it putting out a very notable magic signature but it was spreading it out over such a large area that Ron couldn't say much more than that she was somewhere within the greater Metropolis metropolitan area.

Knowing Kim's general location he had thought to use his super speed to simply canvas the area in a matter of minutes but he'd remembered that Kim could hide herself from him and figuring that she'd taken other steps to make sure he wouldn't find her had opted to try other means of finding his best friend turned super villain. However, hoping that she might not have thought to take precautions against the methods of detection that Bonnie and Yori had the two had gone out to all the obvious spots for lairs within the metro area in an effort to find Kim and Tara before anything too bad could happen.

The thoughts flitting across his mind were making his perceptions even fuzzier than the massive magic signature already had done so Ron forced his mind to empty and return to a state of calm. Once he'd focused as much as he could he started feeling for Kim or Tara's magic signature amid the mess that was his senses being nearly overloaded by the Omega Simia. His task was being made all the more difficult since Kim was hiding her presence from him and he didn't know Tara well enough to have a good enough picture to be easily able to pick her out from everything else he was processing. Not that that might have been as much help as he would hope, he was having enough problems keeping track of Bonnie and Yori's signatures as they searched the city in an effort to find Kim before she could do whatever she was planning to do to Tara.

Opening his eyes Ron slowly got to his feet and made his way to the kitchen for a glass of water, using his powers like that could drain even him pretty quickly and he still had to make sure that once they found Kim and Tara he still had the strength to stop his best friend. As he put the glass down he stared at his reflection in the window and realized that his battlesuit was still back and his and Felix's house. Not even bothering to write a note since he knew he'd be back so fast Ron opened Bonnie and Yori's door and then vanished as he kicked in his super speed to go get his battlesuit.

Bonnie bit back a sigh as she and Yori made their way out of the abandoned office complex that showed no signs whatsoever of any human habitation in the last few years, much less signs that Kim had been through here. Ron hadn't had any luck finding Kim or Tara and so Bonnie and Yori had set out on their own an hour after Tara's abduction in their own effort to find the two. Unfortunately they hadn't had any more luck than Ron had had and Bonnie was pretty sure that if it wasn't for caffeine she would have given in to fatigue long ago. Yori looked as calm and unruffled as ever but the brunette knew her friend had mastered appearing always ready and proper to an almost scary degree.

Yori looked over at Bonnie as the two paused for a rest after yet another fruitless search. They had been searching for hours and Yori noted that Bonnie looked about as tired as she felt. It was beginning to become a serious worry in their mind if they would be able to rescue Tara and defeat Kim when they did find the two. Her own ninja senses were tingling from the amount of magic Kim was using to do whatever it was the redhead was doing to Tara and Yori knew it would be a terrible idea to wait for Kim to finish doing whatever she had planned. Sensei's warning to not let Tara fall into Kim's hands was dire enough but after seeing the blonde's power firsthand Yori could only shudder at the prospect of what Kim would do with such power at her disposal, the redhead's seemingly insane goal of world conquest might become a frighteningly real prospect.

"So where should we look next?" Yori turned her head to see Bonnie looking at her with a questioning look on her face.

"I'm not sure," Yori said tiredly, "wherever Kim has chosen to hide is a very well concealed spot indeed."

"And what's to say we haven't already looked there and just didn't find her," Bonnie scowled, "think we should call Ron and see if he has anything new?"

"No," Yori shook her head, "if Ron had anything new he'd have already called us."

Suddenly the Kimmunicator went off and Bonnie smiled lightly, "if that's how our jinxing things works we should try it more often."

"Hey…" Bonnie trailed off as she saw it wasn't Ron calling, "Wade, sitch me."

"Hey," Wade sipped at his soda, "found anything yet?"

"No," Yori walked over to Bonnie's side, "wherever Kim is hiding she is still eluding us."

"Don't sweat it," Wade smiled, "I've found them."

"What, where?" Bonnie didn't even try to hide the surprise in her voice.

"I was going through all the normal tricks," Wade leaned forward, "then I remembered you told me that Tara had called Felix on her cell phone right before she left. Once I remembered that it took me about a minute to track her cell phone since neither she nor Kim thought to turn it off. It's not an exact fix but I think five yards should be good for you guys to work on."

"Very funny Wade," Yori didn't sound that amused, "call Ron and we will be on our way."

"Okay," Wade was still fairly smug, "consider it done."

The words were barely out of his mouth when a gust of wind rushed down the street and Ron stopped in front of Bonnie and Yori in his battlesuit, Lotus Blade strapped to his side.

"You two ready?" Ron had not a trace of humor in his voice.

"Yeah," Bonnie said, "let's go."

Bonnie and Yori stepped to either side of Ron so he could wrap an arm around each of them, as soon as he'd made sure they were secure in his grasp he leapt from the ground and with the coordinates on the Kimmunicator the three set off to rescue Tara.

As they set down at the coordinates Wade had given them it became quite obvious that Kim hadn't chosen an obvious lair like the ones Bonnie and Yori had been searching through. Kim had instead chosen to make her lair in the Luthorcorp building. Ron landed on the roof and peered down with his x-ray vision.

"Figures," he mumbled, "Kim's had a nice lining of lead put around the penthouse."

"We do know this is where her base is though," Yori pointed out, "we should create an attack plan and strike before she has time to take action against us."

"One second," Ron said slowly, "Kim can hide where she is from me, but if she's talking I might be able to hear that."

"Nice to see you're finally awake," Kim's voice came through remarkably clear as Ron focused on listening to what was happening in the building.

"Wha… where am I?" Tara's voice was groggy and Ron guessed she was just waking up from whatever Kim had done to her.

"Where's not important," Kim said shortly, "and really don't bother thinking too much you won't have to do any thinking in a little while."

"What are you going to do to me?" Tara sounded nervous but still defiant, "I already said I won't help you and my friends will come and rescue me."

"I don't think so," Kim laughed, "we're in one of the last places they'd ever look so it's going to be just you and me. And I suppose I should tell you what's going to happen, it's not like you can do anything about it. I didn't put a curse seal like mine on you, I would have but since I wasn't the first one to gain control of the Omega Simia I can't use it to control you. I might have settled for training you until you saw things my way but that's what Monkey Fist tried and well right now he's still alive only because I still have a use for him. And since I'd rather not have you do the same to me one day I figured I needed something else. It took some persuasion but Monkey Fist finally told me about a ritual with the Omega Simia that's going to drain all your free will and make you my mindless servant. I'd rather you'd have chosen to serve me on your own but I'll take what I can get."

"No," Tara was remarkably calm, "I won't help you do anything that hurts anyone."

"I know you won't," Kim sighed, "you're still too naïve about what being a hero is all about. You want to forget all about your powers and just live your life like all the normal people out there, but people like us have to keep everyone else safe. Even if it's from themselves and even if we have to force it on them, well I'll be doing that you'll just be doing whatever I tell you."

"Someone will stop you," Tara shot back, "what are you doing, what's that?"

"A sedative," Kim's voice moved as she apparently walked around a bit, "all your questions are getting annoying and I'm on a bit of a schedule so if you don't mind I'd like to get going with sapping your free will."

"I do mind," Tara snarked.

"Well I was just being polite," Kim sounded rather chipper, "now good night, when you wake up you'll mind a lot less."

Ron heard a sharp intake of breath from Tara as Kim administered the sedative, then footsteps sounded as Kim walked around the room and then they stopped. Ron guessed she was doing something to prepare for whatever it was she was going to do to render Tara a mindless slave.

"Alright," Ron turned his attention back to Bonnie and Yori, "Kim's doing something with the Omega Simia that's going to make Tara do whatever she wants. She hasn't done it yet and Tara's unconscious right now so it'll only be Kim and however many henchmen she has with her."

"So let's get in there and do this then," Bonnie pounded a fist into her hand, "if Kim doesn't know we're here let's not let her find out before we burst in."

"Agreed," Yori tugged her battlesuit gloves tighter, "might I suggest we make a new entrance through the roof."

"With pleasure," Ron cracked his knuckles, "now stand back ladies."

Bonnie and Yori stepped back a few paces and signaled they were ready. Ron knelt down and unleashing his strength pounded his fist down. Reinforced concrete or not the roof had no chance against the force being applied against it and a seven foot wide hole opened as the roof collapsed. Before the rubble had hit the floor Ron had already jumped in and as gravity took hold of him he started towards the floor and heard Bonnie and Yori start after him.

Looking around the room Ron saw that it was bare except for an elevator door at one end and a lone door at the other. Clearly Kim didn't want anyone seeing what was going on even if they did somehow get all the way up into her lair. Bonnie and Yori dropped down beside him with so little noise that only he could have heard it, they paused only long enough to make sure everyone was unhurt by the jump before walking over to the door that doubtless led to Kim and Tara.

"Ready to go?" Ron said softly as he rested a hand on the door handle.

"You're not going anywhere," the three of them turned to see Fukushima drop out of the shadows, "not through that door, and not back the way you came, this is where you die."

"That is where you're wrong," Yori took a step forward, "you have dishonored Yamanouchi and all it stands for long enough and we will end this here and now."

"Hold it," Bonnie put a hand on her friend's shoulder, "you already know that air can't beat fire, I've got plenty of reasons to want to take this guy down, leave it to me."

"I appreciate your concern," Yori said, "but I can and will defeat Fukushima."

"Yori," Ron interrupted, "Bonnie's right, and I'm going to need your help beating Kim and rescuing Tara. Let her take care of this guy and we can get to what we need to do."

It was obvious Yori wasn't pleased at the prospect of not being able to fight Fukushima but she turned with Ron and followed him as he opened the door and stepped through. Fukushima didn't take that too well and he leapt forward intending to stop the two from going through but his dive ended abruptly as Bonnie raised a slab from the concrete floor right in his path.

Fukushima scowled and offered no verbal response, instead blobs of fire formed over his hands and a network of black vines started creeping across his skin. As the vines covered more the fires grew bigger and as soon as the vines stopped growing he launched the fire towards Bonnie. Bonnie dove out of the way into a roll and even before she fully stopped Bonnie started her own attack. Rather than going jutsu for jutsu as Fukushima expected Bonnie dove towards him and tackled him, normally his superior physical strength would win out but with the element of surprise on her side Bonnie got in several blows before she jumped off and landed a safe distance away.

"Pretty sad," Bonnie smirked, "all that bragging about how good you are and you can't even stop a girl from punching you, no wonder you're a ninja school reject."

"Ninja school dropout," Fukushima growled, "they let me in, I let myself out. And now I'm going to let you out of the world of the living."

Bonnie ducked under the dart of fire launched at her and stepped to the side as Fukushima charged forward. Seeing an opportunity she grabbed the arm he had thrown a punch with and spun around before letting go and throwing him into a wall. Smiling grimly as her opponent dragged himself to his feet Bonnie channeled ki into the concrete behind him and snaked two streams of concrete out of the wall that curved around Fukushima before slamming shut and pressing back into the wall.

Had she not know any better Bonnie might have allowed herself to think that attack had done it but she stood in the middle of the room wary and her caution paid off when the wall exploded outwards with a gout of flame and rubble flew towards her that Bonnie had to stop in mid-air or risk being hurt. When the dust cleared Fukushima stood with eyes gone blood red and skin completely covered by the black vines of the fully opened curse seal.

Bonnie had never fought anyone using a fully opened curse seal but from Yori and Ron's warnings she knew that she should be very aware of just how much more strength, speed, and power Fukushima now had at his disposal. However being aware of something and being able to do something about it proved two different things again as Fukushima shot a dart of fire much larger, faster, and hotter than anything Bonnie had seen from him before. She managed to lift a section of the floor in front of her in defense but the force of the explosion still drove her back and she felt the heat even through her battlesuit.

Fukushima dove at her and Bonnie was only able to block his first punch because of the battlesuit enhancing her reflexes, the second punch landed right in her abdomen and made her stagger back. She stared in horror as Fukushima formed another ball of fire that she wouldn't be able to do anything about when suddenly a great light burst through the door at the end of the room and he dropped with a scream of agony. Forcing herself straight Bonnie ran to the door and threw it open.

The first thing Ron saw as he shut the door behind him and Yori was Kim standing over Tara with the Omega Simia doing some sort of monkey voodoo, Ron wasted no time using his heat vision to knock the statue into the air away from Kim, she caught it on the way down but he had at least stopped Kim's attempts to force Tara to do her will.

"Give it up Kim," Ron slowly walked towards her, "I'm not going to help you, Tara's not going to help you, and you're not going to hurt anyone else. Come with us and let us help you, I don't want to have to fight you but if I do I'm going to win."

"Sorry Ron," Kim said, "but you're not going to get to fight me."

Kim pulled a small black box out of her pocket and opened it up. Ron felt sick at the sight of the glowing green rock but his battlesuit kept enough of the radiation off of him that he was able to keep standing and not even shirk back.

"Sorry," Ron smiled sadly, "that's not going to work anymore."

Kim scowled and shut the box, the three of them stood squaring off for several minutes before Kim finally made the first move. She formed two whips of fire in her hands and swung them at Ron and Yori, Ron simply stepped in front of Yori and let the two whips stop against his hands. Yori took the opportunity to jump over his head and make a move for the Omega Simia. Kim however was fast enough to stop her attack against Ron and she and Yori grabbed the small statue at the same time. They struggled back and forth for a few minutes with Ron looking the whole time for an opening he could seize to help Yori.

"Ron," Yori shouted, "destroy the statue while you can."

"Not while you're right there," Ron shouted back, "I might hit you instead."

"I have confidence in you," Yori replied, "we will not have an opportunity like this again, destroy the statue!"

Ron took a deep breath and unsheathed the Lotus Blade, making sure to move as cautiously as possible he ran in and as a look of surprise formed on Kim's face he struck. The Omega Simia seemed to resist the Lotus Blade cutting into it but Ron used his Kryptonian strength and the sword sliced clean through.

Suddenly there was a burst of light so bright even Ron had to close his eyes from it, amazingly though it was perfectly silent as the only sound he heard was the clatter of the Lotus Blade hitting the concrete floor from where he had dropped it. As the light began to die down the door opened and Ron pried his eyes open to see Bonnie running in. Slowly he turned around and to his amazement Kim and Yori were nowhere to be seen, gone as were all traces of the Omega Simia.

"What happened," Bonnie asked breathlessly, "where are Kim and Yori?"

"I don't know," Ron slowly shook his head, "I cut through the statue and there was this really bright light and next thing I know you're running in and they're gone."

Suddenly there was another flash of light, less bright and when it faded Kim was standing there, only she was translucent and floating a foot off the ground.

"Hi Ron, Bonnie," for the first time in over two years Kim Possible spoke with not a hint of malice or deceit in her voice.

"Kim…" Ron stumbled towards the apparition that bore the form of his best friend, "is that you?"

"Yep," Kim smiled, "it's actually me. Thank you so much Ron for not giving up on me all this time, I don't know if I could have kept going knowing you had joined my arch-enemy and then become my arch-enemy. But you did it Ron, I'm not sure where exactly here is but wherever I am I'm me again."

"What about Yori," Bonnie stepped up beside Ron, "is she with you?"

"Yeah," Kim said, "we were both holding onto the Omega Simia whatever it was happened. Yori doesn't know where we ended up either but you know us, we'll find a way back eventually. She'd come talk to you but she's paying a visit to Sensei right now to let him know she's fine. Something tells me I don't have too much time before I have to go so let me just get this out of the way. I know I wasn't exactly myself the last few years but I'm still sorry for what I put everyone through, you stopped me before I had time to do anything to Tara so when she wakes up she should be fine. I don't have any idea how long it's going to take Yori and I to get out of wherever we are so I want you two to keep on going and not wait up for us."

"Is there anything we can do to help you two get back faster?" Ron asked eagerly.

"Probably not," Kim smiled sadly, "just take care of each other, I don't have any problems coming back and finding you two with a couple of kids running around the house but if I come back and find you two miserable I'm going to knock some heads."

"We won't do that to you and Yori," Bonnie was blushing bright red, "you'll be back before long and we can figure everything out then."

"Bonnie," Kim laughed softly, "we might be back tomorrow or in ten years, we will come back but until then you and Ron need to make sure you're as happy together as you can be."

A playful look crossed Kim's face as she started to fade and she leaned over to kiss Ron, as she pulled back she fully faded from sight and the last Ron and Bonnie saw of Kim was a bright smile on her face. Ron walked over to Tara with a bewildered look on his face and picked her up. He and Bonnie walked back out into the front room to find Fukushima had vacated it some time after Ron had destroyed the Omega Simia.

"So is that it?" Bonnie looked up at Ron, "we saved Kim and Tara, Fukushima's run off to wherever he goes, and you're to get the girl."

"I'm all for getting the girl," Ron smiled down, "it's not the end though, it's the end of this but Fukushima's going to try something and just because we beat one villain doesn't mean we beat them all. Kim was right when she told me that heroes have to win over and over again but that's just one of the things we agree to when we sign on to this."

Bonnie smiled as she pecked Ron on the cheek before grabbing onto his arm as he slowly lifted up through the hole he had punched through the roof. As they lifted up over Metropolis and slowly started home the clouds broke and revealed the sun rising over a new day and a new beginning.

-The End-

AN: Okay actually it is the end, this story seems to be cursed since both incarnations have suffered from the bot failing horribly while it's being written so no sequels, spin-offs, nothing. However that should hopefully be a suitable ending for everyone, I toyed with any number of who disappeared, if anyone should actually bite it, all sorts of stuff but I ended up with the one I'm happiest with. And a small schedule update, I realized that since I don't want to start two new stories and then leave everyone hanging for finals week I'll post a one-shot I'm working on next Friday and then I'll start on my two new stories. Hope you all enjoyed the second round of this story and come back same time same place for the next adventure.
