Anyway back to what is important things, I do not own Kim Possible, and now that it is over I never will (cries in a corner) lol. Enjoy.
Chapter 6
The Showdown of one
The fifth day was here, the day Nor claimed to attack Middleton had arrived and Ron had been unconcious ever since he had awakened the Mystical Dragon Power. If Ron didn't stop Nor now…he never will!
Kim awoke in her bed, it had been five days since she and Ron had arrived at the school, four days ago Ron unleashed his Mystical Dragon Power, and for the past three days Ron had lay in his bed in another room of the school.
After getting changed Kim made her way towards the room where Ron had been sleeping, only to find his bed empty. "RON!?"
Her screams echoed throughout the school and caught the attention of on young ninja who came rushing in shortly after. "Kim Possible?"
Kim turned to see in her doorway was non other then Yori she was all better aside of a few band aids on her face she looked good as new.
"Yori? Are you ok?" Kim asked until she remembered her original problem. "Where is Ron?" Kim was soon calmed down by Yori who was holding her hands up to ease her.
"Please calm down Kim Possible, Stoppable-San is fine he left a while ago" That did everything BUT calm Kim down.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE LEFT!? Did he go to fight Nor!?"
"No Kim Possible he left to do a little training, he didn't wish to wake you so he and the other woman went up into the mountains" That left Kim to ponder for a moment until it snapped in her head.
"Other woman….Shego!? Where'd they go!?" Kim demanded, she hadn't spoken to Ron in three days and now he is off in the mountains with her archfoe, she wanted answers.
"I know the way Kim Possible I'll take you there" With that the two were off, they left through the main gates and into the other mountains.
The two ran for a couple of minutes Kim in close pursuit of Yori that is is until Kim saw a green energy blast up ahead and took lead.
Kim and Yori entered into a clearing to see at first Shego barely able to keep herself standing as she took in deep breaths, Shego had never looked this excausted before but as Yori and Kim looked over to who she was facing they could see why.
"Ron!"
There he stood tall and firm, he didn't seem tired and he looked as though he had matured. On hearing his name Ron turned to see Kim and Yori, he gazed into Kim's eyes and they were a welcome sight for certain.
"Hey there Kim, you sleep well?" In order to maintain her leadership role Kim simply smirked and placed her hands on her hips.
"I slept fine but YOU should be resting" That caused Ron to return back to his focus.
"No time for that Kim, I need to stretch these new Mystical Dragon Powered Muscles"
"Which reminds me…" She began as she caught her breath. "…Kimme, check this out…" and without any other warning Shego inflamed her hands as strong as she could.
Kim reckonised this amount of power Shego was using and always tried to avoid such a strong blast however when she saw the blast primed at her boyfriend she paniced.
"RON!?" Kim wasn't fast enough as Shego fired with all her might. Kim was about to charge and tackle Ron away from the blast, that was until she saw Ron engulf in his own strange blue energy, in an instant Ron simply raised his hand up and with a back slap he knocked the enoumous ball of energy away into distance causing the first thing it impacted to be completely destroyed.
Kim and Yori stood there in amazment at the sight of Ron's strengh and power. Kim then manage to get out.
"Ron you….you knocked that blast away like….like…"
"Like Nor would have" Yori finished as the blue aura from around Ron vanished.
"Yes Stoppable-San you have indeed mastered you Mystical Dragon Powers" It was then Sensai walked from the shadows of the trees after watching the light display. "Now we can begin to plan on how we are going to capture Nor!"
With that Sensai pulled out from his robes a pendent, this pendent was in the shape of a yinyang and through eack small hole on both halves of the yinyang was a piece of string running through.
Sensai then broke the two halves apart as he explianed. "Simply get where the white half around your neck Stoppable-San and place the black half around Nor's neck and the mystical properties I have set within the pendant will merge the two of you back together. You have to do it before the sunsets Stoppable-San or else Nor will become he own being and we will never be able to stop him!"
Sensai handedRon the pendant and all he could do was hold it in his hand and stare at it, this small item that would put Nor right back inside his mind.
Ron could not have that and in that moment dropped the yinyang pendant to the ground and clenched his fists until his knuckles bared white.
"No…" Was all he said, which caught the attention of the others.
"No…?" Kim began "…What do you mean no?"
"I mean NO! I'm not having Nor back inside my head again!" With that Sensai placed his hand upon Ron's shoulder.
"Stoppable-San there is no other way, if you do not contain Nor by sunset, Nor will become a single being and you do not have the power to stop him, the two of you will just continue to fight for the rest of your lives and…" however before Sensai could go on he felt Ron knock his hand away which took everyone by surprise.
"NO! I can beat Nor I know I can!" Ron declared as Yori approached him with her hand clasped as if to plee to Ron.
"Please Stoppable-San, listen to Sensai he knows what he is talking about…"
"I don't want to hear it Yori, I'm going to stop Nor, and I'm going to do it NOW!" With that a blue orb of energy surrounded Ron once again and just as it did to Nor when they last saw him Ron began to take off into the sky, at first it was slow but soon after a sonic boom Ron was missiling away from the Yamanuchi.
Kim simply ran to the edge of the cliff they were on and screamed "RON…PLEASE LISTEN TO SENSAI, PLEASE COME BACK!!" But Ron had gone and had not heard Kim's plee's. All the teen hero could do was drop to her knees and cry as Ron vanished into the distant.
Middleton, one part of the tri-city area, was now under attack. As promised Nor attacked Middlton as soon as day broke and light covered the ground of the tri-city.
Already the buildings and landscape were ruined, every building that still remained standing were eaither a blaze or crumbling at the seem under the weight of Nor's wrath. However Nor was not aiming for civilians, it was as if he was allowing them to escape.
Middleton High was the last safe haven for a small group of students, that group consisting of Wade, Bonnie, Tara and Moniques.
The four sat in the gym where they had issolated themselves, Wade had not been in contact with Kim since she left for Yamanuchi and with all the chaos that had insued that day was unable to call her about the threat. Bonnie was soon beginning to lose her patiance.
"OH!! What is going on in this crazy town!?"
"Yeah…" Tara replied "…I was out taking my morning jog when everything started blowing up and people were screaming. I was lucky to find you guys in all the panic, one thing though. Why did we come to the school?" Tara finishing question was answered with a shrug from Bonnie.
"Don't ask me I was following super genius here, so come on geek what's the plan?" After nervously rubbing his arms Wade looked up in panic.
"ME!? What are you asking me for? I'm ten years old I don't know what to do, I just came here on a whim, Kim is the one who does all the hero stuff" That reminded Bonnie of the two people she had not seen at this point.
"Which reminds me, where OUR Kim and Ron at, they dissapear and a couple of days later all this happens" Monique heard this and did not like what Bonnie was trying to say.
"Now wait just a minute Bonnie Kim and Ron had to leave for something important, so don't even go there thinking they knew this was gonna happen and decided to bail!" That did not move Bonnie.
"Oh come on! Of course they left, they knew they couldn't tackle this and they jumped on the first plane outta here, they've ditched us and they ditched Middleton. SOME HEROES THEY ARE!"
That comment was followed by a hand swinging down and slapping Bonnie right in the face. For a few mintutes there was silence, Bonnie turned to see Tara standing in front of her. Already Bonnie felt the hot stinging from where Tara had hit her. Monique and Wade simply stared in shock as did Bonnie, Tara was always so sweet and kind and always hated violence, so the fact she had now slapped her own friend and was now glaring at her with an anger that was never known of her.
"T…Tara?" Was all Bonnie could utter as Tara began rubbing her hand as it stung from the impact it had with the Queen Bee's face.
"You know what this all reminds me of?" Tara asked in a calm tone as she walked away from Bonnie and towards the storage locker in the gym which was left open.
"What?" Monique decided to asked as Tara was rumaging through the storage room and walked out with the head of the Middleton Mad Dog that Ron was once famous for bearing. She hugged it in her arms like a teddy bear as she answered.
"Camp Wannaweep…" Tara said as she stared down almost lovingly into the mad dogs hollow eyes before looking back up to the three confused gazes staring at her. "…Remember Bonnie? When the cheer squad went to the Cheer off contest and we got captured by that Gill. We all thought Ron had abandoned us and what happened?"
"He hijacked a boat and ditched us…" Bonnie began however was soon cut off by Tara.
"…No, he drew that thing away from us and captured him. It was then I learned that no matter how tough things may seem and how tough it may look, even if Ron knew it he wouldn't abandon us and neither would Kim. Those two always come when you need them, and I know they won't fail us now"
Monique and Wade both smiled warmly as the one who was suspected to be the most panic seemed the most calm. Bonnie simply huffed but deep down knew Tara was right.
However before the group could dweel on this touching moment the ground began shaking violently it wasn't before the group found the gym tearing apart at one end, the four gathered as far away from the mayhem as possible until the shaking and crumbling of earth and stone had stopped.
As these four terrified kids slowly opened their eyes they saw that half the school was completely destroyed and the gym was now opened up like an old wound to reveal the desolate wasteland they once called home.
Speechless they approached the opening to check to see if what was infront of them was real. It was hard to she through the clouds of dust, smoke and debris but it didn't take a genius to see that this was real. Middleton was destroyed.
"W…Who…Who could've done this?" Monique pointlessly asked as she covered her mouth at the silent Chaos.
Her question was soon to be answered as in that moment the clouds began to split and twirl and soon were thrown away by a strange force, it was in that moment the four would soon meet the biggest shock of their lives.
There he was, surrounded by a red ord or electric energy stood the one who had raigend down so much destruction. Nor!
"I made it in time to gym class….DON'T WANNA GET A TARDY" Nor shouted which was followed by a diobolic laughter whiched echoed throughout the remains of Middleton.
"RON!!" Was all Monique, Bonnie and Tara could say, with a burst of excitement not knowing how wronf they were. The only one who did know was the one frozen in fear the young ten year old genius. Wade.
"Where have you been Stoppable?" Bonnie demanded as she approached the baffoon lookalike. "Something weird has been going on and where is Kimmie!?" Bonnie was now in an aggressive tone of voice, angry at 'Ron' for leaving with Kim while all this was happening.
"Bonnie…" Wade warned.
"Go and get your little girlfriend and go stop whatever it is that's destroying Middleton before there really is nothing left!" Bonnie continued as she now poked the mans chest she believed to be Ron Stoppable.
"Bonnie that.s not…." Wade tried warning again but Bonnie was determined to get her point across.
"And another thing, what is the deal with that look? I mean black hair and red eyes I mean who are you trying to scare!?"
"BONNIE THAT'S NOT RON!!" Wade's scream caught the attention of all three girls.
As Bonnie was still looking back towards Wade she heard a voice from infront of her speak.
"You know Bonnie, I've always found that 'queen bee' attitude of yours kinda cute, but you know what…?" As Bonnie turned back to Nor all she felt was his hand envelope her face and push her away with little effort, the force however sent her hurtling into the group of three watching. "I'VE ALWAYS HATED YOUR GUTS! HAHAHAHA!!!" The three stumbled to get up what with Bonnie lying on them unconciouse from the sure force of the impact.
"You're not Ron!?" Tara shouted in horror as to what had just happened.
"DING DING DING, Give the Blonde a prize!" Nor shouted sarcastically as he aimed his open palm towards them and smiled sydistically. In that moment the ball of red electric energy formed and made a huge hissing noise as if a snake were being threatened. "Looks like Ron failed you all, now it's time for you ALL to pay for his mistake. NOW IT'S TIME TO DIE!!"
The orb grew to the size of a basketball and all the three could do was cover their heads in fear and wait for the end to come.
"Bye Bye" Nor almost whispered to himself.
It was millaseconds before Nor could blast that another orb of Blue electric came hurtling out of nowhere and knocked Nor straight into some old debris left by the collapsed school.
How can I liveIll Nino
I
am so alike you,
In so many ways.
The three looked over to the source of the blue blast to see there in the same orb like shield like Nor only Blue a person they could say without question was Ron Stoppable.
know
I'm just a copy,
That carries on the stain.
"You guys get out of here as fast as you can ok?" Ron asked, which didn't need much time to think about as the three picked up bonnie and ran as fast they could as soon as they felt the ground tremor.
But, We make the same
mistakes.
Cause, We are one in the same.
But, We leave behind
the stain.
That cannot separate.
In an explosion of power Nor blasted the debris away and allowed it to rain to the ground like hail stone.
"So, you did it? You mastered you powers?" Nor asked with a smirk only to be answered by a simple nod form his serious faced counter-part. "Then let's taste them out then!" Just then Nor charged up another red power ball and rose himself off the ground by a few inches and charged towards Ron, who replied by doing the same.
All that lies in me,
Time seem to stop as the two slowly approached with their energy sparks in their hands.
All that dies in me.
The two then threw out their spheres of energy.
How can I live without you?
All
that lies in me,
All that dies in me.
How can I live without
you?
As the two energy blast meet the earth seem to slipt in half under the force and the strain. Both Ron and Nor were putting their entire being into pushing the other away.
After a few seconds the two were being sent hurtled away from eachother and into separate pills of rubble. These weren't dormant for long as the earth was shook again with Ron and Nor emerging only to slowly approach eachother again.
I am your mirror image,
I'm all
you left behind
"I gotta admit Stoppable, you know how to use that power" Nor complimented as he approached his reflextion who did the same.
"I had no other choice, but I'm the original one here so you can't win Nor" Ron lashed back as the two stopped 6 ft apart.
You made me what I am,Then who the hell am I?
"Ha! Ron don't you get it? There is no 'original' you made me from yourself, no I can't win….but niether can you!!" Nor replied as in that moment he began surging with Red lightning like energy all around his body.
But, We make the same
mistakes.
Cause, We are one in the same.
But, We leave behind
the stain.
That cannot separate.
Ron followed suit and also exploded in a blue power that seemed to match Nor's exactly. The two once again stared eachother dead in the eyes determined to see a spot of difference between them and their were non.
All that lies in me,
All that dies
in me.
The two took to the skies as fast as they could and timed seemed to stop as the two came close to one another.
How can I live without you?
The two met once again in a flurry of punches and kicks each being deflected and blocked by the other.
All that lies in me,
All that dies
in me.
How can I live without you?
The two began to spiral around eachother as their fighting began to lose control, crashing through building and glass one trying his best to out do the other. It was one thundering punch that both Ron and Nor landed on eachothers faces that sent the two hurtling backwards again, the force of which seemed to shake the earth to it's very core.
Why, Yo no entiendo porque,
I know
that our lives are the same,
Y mi vida,
Is just a guessing
game
A dirty stain
That I cannot play.
The two simply shattered they earth around them with another burst of energy which gave them the strengh to raise back into the blacken skies. It was then the orbs sorrounding both Ron and Nor began to change shape. Soon the orbs became so bright Ron and Nor were not to be seen.
But
I follow your steps,
In the same way that you just walked
away,
And pushed the way through.
I...will...not...live!
To everyones horror that the orbs had now transformed into the shape of two chinnes like Dragons, one Red and one Blue.
Do you think of me?
Do you dream
of me?
I always dream about you.
The two Dragons charged for eachother but before they were to crash they flew upwards coiling round, it was as if the two dragons were dancing with on another.
Do you think of me?
Do you dream
of me?
I always dream about you.
The two dragons seemed to stop and bear their teeth to the other, they stared at their counterpart for a few moments and felt nothing but hate toward it and soon the two clashed. Teeth were sinking and claws are slashing, every impact the two great beasts made with one another caused Zeus himself it seemed to crack the ground with snaps of lightning.
All that lies in me,
All that dies
in me.
How can I live without you?
All that lies in me,
All
that dies in me.
How can I live without you?
This great fight of mystical creatures could be heard around the world until the two beasts interwined and coiled around eachother so tightly they could not separate and their weight overpowed them and the two were sent plumeting towards the ground only to crash through the earth like a missile.
Song EndSilence bedded the wasteland that was once the Middleton suburbs. All the civilians who had escaped this warzone now stood within the bearing deadness of sound, awaiting for someone to emerge vitorious.
Soon rubble began to shift and two separate explosions of earth erupted and Ron and Nor arose from the ground and soared into the air until they stopped 20ft up and 8ft apart.
Nor soon directed his vision to the west where he saw the sun begin it's decent. This sight was all he needed to bring a smirk to his face.
"It's time Ron, as soon as that sunsets you and I will become separate and then when one of us dies it will be permanent!"
"Then I guess we should wait, cause as soon as the sun is gone…you dead!" Ron snapped back only ot have his threat laughed at by Nor who decided it was time to reveal it all to Ron.
"Oh Ron, you still think you can kill me? Sorry but you can kill me anymore then I can kill you!" That was enough to shock Ron into asking.
"Wait. You knew that even after the sunset you wouldn't be able to kill me?" Ron watched as Nor simply nodded his head. "Then, why? Why did you come all this way for a vengence you can't possibly achieve?"
Nor once again burst out in manic laughter.
"You honestly though killing you was my plan for vengence!?" Nor awaited to catch his breath from laughing as Ron just stared in confusion. "You idiot, my goal was to tourment you on a whole new level. To allow you to live while you destroy everything around you!!"
Ron was puzzled at what Nor could mean.
"I would never do that Nor, what are you talking about!"
"Never do that? Look around you Ron, look at what our fight has done to the place you called home!"
Ron looked around in sheer shock as he gazed upon the destruction that his fight with Nor had caused. His home was gone there ws nothing but destroyed buildings and civilians trying their best to escape the chaos.
"No…." Was all Ron could whisper past his lips as he stared down at the result of his 'spat' with Nor. Nor however simply smirked.
"Yes Ron, all this is cause you couldn't except that you had to take me back and wanted to kill me" It was that which snapped Ron back into the conversation.
"What!?" He said in disbelief.
"Oh, what am I stupid? You thought I spent all that time at Yamanuchi and didn't do a little research while I was their? Ha, you dolt, I had to see if there was anyway you could stop me there always is, and as soon as I found it I knew there was no way you would resort to it. You see Ron I know you, I know you as well as you know yourself and I knew the very idea of having me back inside your head was too much for you to bear. So you choose not to, I bet Kim tried talking you into it but you were too stubbon to listen. All you wanted was to be rid of me so you just flew off into the distance and left her. Am I right!?"
Nor watched as Ron stared towards the ground in disbelief and that was all the answer he needed.
"HA! I knew it, and to think that was you only option to stop me. Too bad Ron, you lost!"
"RON!!!" The familiar voice screamed from the ground, as the two in midair traced the voice back to it's source to see one Kim Possible standing on a pile rubble watching the whole thing.
"Kim?" Was all Ron say as he saw his girlfriend down there looking so helpless.
"Ron I brought the pendant! Shego brought me, you can use it on Nor! HURRY UP AND GET IT!" Kim shouted as she pulled out the anciant pendent given to her by Sensai with the hope of using it to seal Nor away for good.
Nor however had other plans.
"NO! I'M NOT GOING BACK, YOU'RE TOO LATE!!!"
In that moment Nor rushed over towards Ron and clamped his hands onto Ron's shoulders putting all his strengh into it.
Ron was trapped, he couldn't move as much as he struggled he couldn't escape Nor had him.
"Sorry Ron, but you can't overpower me and you won't escape, we just have to wait till that sunsets and then that pendent will be helpless, then we can fight for the rest of our lives and destroy everything in this world you hold dear in an attempt to kill eachother. DOESN'T THAT SOUND LIKE FUN!?"
Nor's taunts were replied by a chuckle from Ron. At first Nor couldn't understand, he was starting to think Ron had finally gone insane until Ron slowly raised his head an revealed his own smirk.
Nor had no time to question what the deal was as he soon felt Ron wrap his legs around his waist and lock Nor in.
"WHAT'S GOING ON!? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!!?" Nor demanded as Ron moved his lower arms as best he could into his pocket to pull out the yinyang pendent which Nor thought was in Kims hands.
"THIS!!" With that Ron looped the string on the black half over Nor head and dropped in around his neck before doing the same with the second string on the white side.
Nor released Ron and tried to escape but found he couldn't get away from Ron gripping legs. Soon Ron locked his arms around Nor and placed his face an inch away from Nor's and smiled as he whispered.
"Sorry Nor, but you can't overpower me and you won't escape. We just have to wait until the pendent merges us back together, and you can fade back into the dark corners of my mind and remain there for the rest of our lives. Doesn't that sound like fun!?"
The pendant began to glow brightly as the process began and Nor was still in disbelief.
"BUT HOW!!? KIM HAS THE PENDENT NOT YOU…." Nor then took the time to look down at Kim who also had a huge smirk on her face as the pendent in her hand began to glow to a second later and the pendent puffed into a different shape, the shape of a long sword which Nor reckonised all too well. "…THE LOTUS BLADE!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Was all Nor had left to say as the real yinyang pendent around his head glowing became too intense for him to see anything.
Soon the light became so intense that everyone watching below began to avert their eyes as it became to intense to even look at. As Kim kept her eyes verted she thought back to how this plan came into motion after Ron had flown off.
Kim simply ran to the edge of the cliff they were on and screamed "RON…PLEASE LISTEN TO SENSAI, PLEASE COME BACK!!" But Ron had gone and had not heard Kim's plee's. All the teen hero could do was drop to her knees and cry as Ron vanished into the distant.
Kim sobbed to herself as she felt helpless to stop Ron from making a huge mistake. "I can't believe he just left, I CAN'T BELIEVE HE WAS SO BLIND!"
An hour had passed and Kim had returned to the school and was packing her things until she felt a knocking on in her doorway, she turned to see Ron standing there. "You came back?" Kim rushed over to Ron and wrapped her arms around his neck for a few moments.
"I realised what I was doing" Ron replied as Kim pulled away and looked deep into his eyes.
"Oh? And what was that?" Kim asked trully not knowing what Ron meant.
"I was playing right into what Nor wanted, he knew I would do this he knew I would rather fight him then take this kind of option. So I have to beat him by doing something that I really don't want to do. And that is taking Nor back"
"Oh Ron" With that Kim jumped back into Ron's arms and the two kissed deeply as if it were their last. "So Ron let's get to Middleton before the sunsets" Kim proclaimed as she headed for the door.
"Wait Kim we need to stop off at my place to get the Lotus Blade" Kim looked back in confusion.
"Why?"
"Cause I think I have had the greateat idea I was ever meant to have…well apart from kissing you at the Prom" Ron replied in a joke as he left, Kim however was not letting that go.
"Oh no Ron I kissed you…" There the two set off to put their plan in motion to seal Nor away for good.
"Huh…Wh….where am I?" Was all Nor could say as he began to look round his new surroundings. Nor reckonised this place, it was the place he had first met Ron, he was in the darkness, surrounded by it once again.
"We're back where we first met Nor, who could forget this errr 'beautiful' scenary?" Ron's voice echoed trying to joke around.
Nor looked around desperatly for the source of Ron's voice until it was found. There Ron stood along with the only other thing within the darkness, a simple doorway. Ron was standing in this doorway holding the door open.
"You think your safe Ron, I got out once and I'll get out AGAIN!" With that Nor rushed towards Ron as fast as he could, however Ron seemed to not be too concerned about.
He just simply stared down at Nor as if he were no threat, it was then Ron simply chuckled to himself and said.
"I guess the only thing left to say Nor is….Welcome home!" With that Ron slammed the door moments before Nor reached it.
As Nor slammed through the door and completely destroyed it only to find that Ron was not on the other side, only more darkness welcomed Nor in this place. Nor looked around frantically for Ron again but nothing, even the doorway had vanished.
Soon Nor looked at his arm to notice that too was now vanising. "Wh…WHAT IS GOING ON!!" He demanded, Ron's voice was there to answer in the echos.
"I no longer have the Curse which created you Nor. Everything is turning back to the way it was. Therefore, you do not exsist.
These echos seem to strike fear into Nor's slowly fading body he could not understand how he could've lost like this.
"No this isn't possible, I know you Ron how did I not see this coming, what do you have!?"
All Ron could say to that was simple.
"Basically Nor, I have a very convincing girlfriend and that is all I needed"
"THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE!" He screamed as he found his body from the neck down gone and his head was now vanishing with the last words he would hear from Ron.
"That's exactly what it is Nor….Kim Possible"
And with that Nor was had vanished, become apart of the darkness that was around him. That's all he ever was and now is what he would ever be, that little bit of darkness in the back of the mind of Ron Stoppable.
