Yono, My Yono: part 3

Over at the home of the Possibles, Kim is trying to console a distraught Hanna while Ron is on the phone.

"What am I going to do now?" Hanna said through her tears, "We've been friends since before pre-K, and now she's gone!"

"Trust me, Hanna. Everything's going to be all right. I know it," Kim attempted to reassure her, then she turned towards Ron and asked, "Still no answer?"

Ron shook his head and said, "Nobody's picking up the house phone, and Dad's cell is going straight to voice mail. I tell you KP, I'm kinda afraid that Yono Fist might have gotten to them."

"Don't worry about it Ron. We had stopped by your house on the way here, and while nobody was there then, there was also no sign Yono Fist had been there either, and he wouldn't have been subtle about it: he'd want us to know he'd taken out the Han. Besides, future Hanna is still here, so our Hanna must still be all right. I've got to go to the University in a bit in order to request special permission to remote record my classes rather than physically attend them today, as well as to get the books and things I'll need in order to do the work later, but I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your parents on my way there and back.

"Thanks Kim," Ron told her gratefully.

"And as for you, Hanna, I promise that we'll defeat Yono Fist together," Kim assured her, "I already have a plan to do so, and when Drakken and Shego are restored I'm sure that Liego will return as well"

"Kimmie, you don't understand," Hanna told her morosely, "Liego and I have defeated Yono Fist, on several different occasions, and no matter how we did it or what leverage we tried to use it never restored you guys. Nothing has! A team of the world's foremost mystics and scientists, including your entire family, tried for over a year to find a way to undo what Yono Fist did to you guys and Team Go, though your family stayed on it the longest. Eventually your father was the last one to keep trying, as he refused to let you go, so your mother had to have him sedated and dragged away from the lab for his own good. We have to face it, Yono Fist is just too strong."

"Or maybe you were just going after the wrong target," Ron suggested helpfully. When Hanna and Kim gave Ron confused looks, he exclaimed, "Come on, guys! You mean to say there's something I know that you don't?"

"We'd be very interested in finding out what that is," Kim told him patiently.

Ron turned towards Hanna and asked, "You remember your fight at Yamanouchi, right?" When Hanna nodded yes, Ron continued, "That freaky Yono monkey had turned Kim, Rufus and Sensei to stone, but when you defeated Monkey Fist, who'd summoned him, they were all restored!"

For a moment, Kim and Hanna were speechless, then Hanna smacked her own head and almost smiled as she said, "Of course! How could I have overlooked such an obvious detail? All this time we should have been looking for D.N. Amy!"

"D.N. Amy?" Kim and Ron ask together, and Kim continues, "She's the one who summoned him?"

Hanna nodded as she said, "You probably already know that she had found him and now has him in her custody, but sometime in the near future she learns of the chant to awaken him. Unfortunately, nobody has heard or seen her since that day."

"You don't think that he'd have….gotten rid of her, do you?" Ron asked squeamishly.

"I don't think so," Hanna replied, "From what you described, as well as what little I've learned myself over the years, it would seem that the Yono forms a sort of contract with those whom awaken him, that he must follow their orders until such time his summoner is beaten, at which time the summoner becomes the new Yono while the old one vanishes."

Kim nodded in agreement as she added, "It's more likely that he'd have hid her away, to make sure he doesn't ever end up like the old Yono. Probably kept her asleep too or something, to make sure she couldn't give him any orders he didn't want to follow."

"Well, we know where she is now," Ron suggested, "So why don't we go and throw her in the clink to make sure Monty never gets his wake-up call?"

"Ron, we can't arrest D.N. Amy for something that she hasn't done yet," Kim told him.

"Well, then why don't we just take a sledgehammer to ol' Monkey Fist's stone face?" Ron asked.

"No, Ron! That would be the worst thing we could do!" Hanna said fretfully, "That would most likely create a paradox that could destroy the universe as we know it! The only reason all of Yono Fist's meddling hasn't caused one yet is most likely because those he's transformed can yet change back. Anything permanent like what you suggested would be catastrophic to the time stream, much like coming face to face with your past self is supposed to be, and while I know you and Ron did so during your own Time Monkey adventure, that's still not a chance I'd like to take."

"Well, why don't you just destroy the Time Monkey?" Ron suggested, "That fixed the changes Shego had made to the timeline before, right? So it should do so again here."

"Except Hanna told us that Yono Fist has the ability to fix the Time Monkey," Kim told him, "So I don't know what good that'll do."

Hanna shook her head and said, "Yono Fist would know what we'd done, and once he'd got the Time monkey back in one piece he'd take steps to ensure that we wouldn't be able to do so again, maybe even prevent me and Liego from following him into the past again. No, out best bet is to find and recover the Time Monkey so I can return to the future, locate and defeat D.N. Amy, and change everyone back to normal."

At that moment, Jim and Tim come tearing down the stairs, making such a racket that Mrs. Possible comes out from the kitchen and asks, "Boys! Where are you off to in such a hurry?"

"Wade's!" Jim answered.

"Big project!" Tim clarified.

"Gotta go!" they both insisted together.

"It's okay, Mom. I asked them to," Kim told her, "It's an important part of my plan to save the world."

Mrs. Possible nodded as she told the twins, "Well just remember that school starts tomorrow, so be sure to be back by dinner."

"Will do, Mom!" they assured her as they both kissed her on the cheek together, "Love you, bye!"

"The Tweebs?" Ron said incredulously, "That's your plan!?"

"Part of it," Kim told him, "As they said, there's a project of tremendous undertaking that needs their area of expertise to get done in time. But there's other parts we need to work on at the same time in order to have a chance." Kim then turns back to her mom and asks, "Is Dad here by chance?"

"He's in his home office working," Mrs. Possible told her, "Let me go get him."

"Your father?" Hanna asked Kim as Mrs. Possible left the room, "What part does he have in this plan of yours?"

"An important one, trust me," Kim said to Hanna, then she activated the Kimmunicator and said, "Wade, the Tweebs are on their way. In the meantime, do you think you can upload all the archived footage of my missions to my memory card?"

"Your mission footage?" Wade asked her, "Whatever for?"

"I need it for something important," Kim told him, "Also any of my cheerleading footage you may have access to, if possible."

"It'll take a minute for me to compress it into a ZIP folder and send it to your Kimmunicator, but if it's that important I'll do it right away," Wade told her.

"Please and thank you," Kim told him.

"Your mission footage?" Ron asked while scratching his head in confusion, "You've lost me, KP."

Before Kim could explain, her mom returned to the room with her dad who asked, "I heard you needed to see me, Kimmie Cub?"

Kim nodded as she asked, "Do you still have that video compression technology you used to help me recover my memory?"

"Why yes," Mr. Possible responded, "Why you ask?"

"Here you go, Kim," Wade told her over the Kimmunicator as a card popped out of it, "All the footage I could find has just been uploaded to you. I've got to get back to work now, good luck."

"Thanks," Kim told him as the Kimmunicator disconnected, then she took the card and handed it to her father as she asked, "Can you compress this footage and then show it to Hanna for me?"

"Ron's baby sister?" Mr. Stoppable asked as he scratched his head, "Is she here?"

"Dad, this is Hanna," Kim said as she gestured to teen Hanna, "She came here from the future to stop a super powerful Monkey Fist, also from the future, from destroying the world as we know it."

"Oh. Super!" Mr. Stoppable said enthusiastically.

"But why do you need me to see your mission and cheerleader footage?" Hanna asked Kim.

"Well, your ability to learn to do things by watching them, remember?" Kim told her.

"You mean that Hanna has Photographic Muscle Memory?" Mrs. Possible asked with interest.

"Apparently, according to you she does," Kim answered, nodding, then she turned back to Hanna and said, "Anyway, I'm guessing that, up until now, your fighting moves have largely consisted of those you picked up from Ron, Liego, and Yono Fist, correct?" When Hanna nodded yes, Kim continued, "In that case, you're about to get a crash course in the Kim Possible Art of Fighting."

"Great thinking, KP!" Ron praised her, impressed. Mr. Possible nodded as he said, "I'll get started on this right away."

"Thanks, Dad," Kim said, then she turned to Ron and said as she headed to the door, "Come on, Ron. You should get your bike from my car, and I need to go now if I'm to have any time to look for…"

As Kim opened the door, she's surprised to find just on the other side of it Ron's parents, with his mom holding baby Hanna and his dad with his hand raised in preparation to knock on the door.

"…Mr. and Mrs. Stoppable?" Kim asked in surprise. Teen Hanna also appears shocked at the sudden appearance of her parents, especially with them holding her younger self in their arms. Then she bolts upstairs and slams the bathroom door behind her as Kim continues, "We were just trying to get a hold of you. I was just about to go looking for you, as a matter of fact."

"Oh, remember the little tantrum Hanna threw the other day?" Mr. Stoppable asked Kim, "Our cell phones were part of the collateral damage, and I'm afraid we hadn't had time yet to replace them."

"Kim, who was the beautiful young woman that was here just now?" Mrs. Stoppable asked her."

"Basically? Just Hanna, who'd chased her nemesis here from the future to stop him from destroying the world."

"That was Hanna?" Mrs. Stoppable asked in surprise, "Then why…?"

"…why did she just take off?" Kim completed for her, "Apparently she's afraid of what would happen to the time-stream if she met her past self."

"I see," Mrs. Stoppable said, then she handed baby Hanna to her husband as she said, "Dear, would you hold Hanna while I go talk to….Hanna?"

"Of course," he answered as he accepted the baby in his arms, then as Mrs. Stoppable went upstairs, Mr. Stoppable said, "As for why we're here, we were hoping to talk to you about yesterday. Your parents too, if possible."

"Oh. Hanna hasn't been giving you any more trouble, has she?" Kim asked him.

"No, surprisingly enough. She is remarkably well adjusted for a child her age," Mr. Stoppable responded, "It's actually you yourself that we were concerned about."

"Oh, you're referring to the little breakdown I had then, aren't you?" Kim asked in a mortified tone.

"A breakdown?" Kim's mom said from behind as she approached, "Are you okay, Kimmie?"

"I'm fine, Mom. Really, I'm feeling much better than I was yesterday, and I'll be aces once I go and smack Yono Fist back to when he came from," Kim assured them as she smacked her fist into her palm.

"Wait, you're not still freaking on that dream, are you Kim?" Ron asked her in concern.

"Dream? What dream?" Mr. Stoppable asked them.

"Never mind the dream," Kim interjected, focusing on Ron's dad as she said, "Mr. Stoppable, the reason we were trying to reach you was to tell you and Mrs. Stoppable to take Hanna and go into hiding for a while."

"Hide? Whatever for?" Mr. Stoppable asked anxiously.

"We have reason to believe that Yono Fist had come to this time to get rid of little Hanna, in order to ensure that she's not around in his time to interfere with his plans for the world," Kim explained to him.

"But….to hurt a little baby like that? That's monstrous!" Kim's dad growled angrily.

"That's what Monkey Fist has become since following the path of the Yono," Kim told him, "and that's why we need your help on this. We'll need every advantage we can get if there's any hope of stopping him."

"Of course, Kim," Mr. Possible told her with a curt nod, "You can count on me."

"Thanks. Well, gotta go. See you Dad, Mom, Mr. Stoppable," Kim tells them as she heads for her car.

"I've gotta go too, Dad. Tell Mom bye for me?" Ron asked his dad.

"Of course, son," Mr. Stoppable tells him.

"And as for you," Ron says to little Hanna, "Keep everyone safe for me?" Ron tickles Hanna's chin, which sets her to giggling. Ron then kisses Hanna on the forehead and walks out the door.

As he heads over to Kim's car, Ron's CUB changes back into an aircraft and floats off it as Kim opens her driver's side door and climbs in. Ron goes over to stand by the driver's side as he asks Kim, "Do you really think that everything will turn out all right?"

"Absolutely," Kim told Ron with a confidence that sounded to him like it might be genuine, "So long as we keep our plans tight and manage to keep one step ahead of Yono Fist, then I see no reason we shouldn't be able to come out on top like we usually do."

As Kim fastens her seatbelt and puts the top down on the Sloth, Ron turns her head so she was looking at him again and asks in concern, "And you, Kim? Are you really OK"

"Yes Ron, a truly am," Kim assured him, "I know I've been questioning my role in, well, everything, but I just needed time to reflect. I needed to remember where my strengths lie, and when Yono Fist shows his face again…" Kim then finished in a fierce tone, "I'll make him regret he ever dared to mess with my friends."

Ron sighed and asked her, "Just please don't do anything crazy, okay?"

Kim smiled and said, "Ron, it's me you're talking to," then she kissed him and said, "I'll see you later." And with that Kim drove off.

As Ron walked back to the CUB, Rufus climbs out of Ron's pocket and jabbers something at Ron, who responds, "Yeah buddy, I'm worried about her too, but unless she confides in us there isn't much that we can do to help her. Well, we've got to get prepared for tomorrow, so we should get going." Then Ron climbs on the CUB, upon which the cockpit closes around him and takes off.


Moments later, in the Possible home, Mr. Possible knocks on the bathroom door and says, "They're gone now, Hanna. You can come out now."

The bathroom door opens and teen Hanna walks out, saying, "Thanks. Where'd my family head to?"

"I've made arrangements for them to hole up at my old alma mater," Mr. Possible told her, "There's a dorm that's currently vacant while it's undergoing renovations, so nobody should stumble across them there, and it's currently nice and clean."

"Thanks, I appreciate it Mr. Possible," Hanna told him gratefully.

"If you don't mind me asking, why didn't you want to talk to your mom while she was here?" Mr. Possible asked her curiously as they headed down to the living room.

"I did want to. That's the problem," Hanna said to him, "I was afraid that, the way I was feeling, I might have told them something that might have jeopardized the future. As it stands, I might have already told Ron and Kim too much due to my missing them badly. It's just not good to know too much about your own future, you know?"

"I think I understand. Just be sure to let them know when this is over that you weren't shutting them out because you didn't care, okay?" Mr. Possible told her. When she nodded, he gestured for Hanna to sit on the couch as he said, "If you'd wait right here, I'll go get the tape."

He then leaves the room as Mrs. Possible enters holding a pair of steaming cups, saying, "Hot tea? You look as though you could use a cup."

"Yeah, thanks," Hanna said gratefully as she accepted the offered cup.

As Hanna sat down and began to sip her tea, Mrs. Possible sat beside her and asked, "So, you and this Liego were close?"

Hanna nodded as she said, "We've always been friends, but ever since Yono Fist effectively rendered her an orphan a few years ago, Mom and Dad raised us both together, so we ended up like sisters to one another." Hanna then sat the cup down on the table and asked her, "Do you think this idea of Kim's will truly work?"

"If what I heard about your mental facilities was correct, then I see no reason it shouldn't," Mrs. Possible assured her.

"I hope so, I'm not sure I could bear to lose Kim and Ron again," Hanna responded.

As Mrs. Possible patted Hanna comfortingly on the back, Mr. Possible came in with the video, saying, "Here we go. You ready?"

When Hanna nodded yes, Mr. Possible inserted the disc in the DVD player, and Hanna focused on the multiple video images playing simultaneously on the screen.


As Kim strolled down the aisles of the school store with her cart, she thought about just how different the education experience at the university than it was back in high school. Of course she'd figured, even before she'd got here, that it would be different, but she didn't have any idea just how different it would be. At the very least she'd expected to have to fight to be able to not personally attend today's classes, to need present her case in such a way to show she was a serious student, and that the floating camera-bot was merely a way for her to still be able to do her work after she finished saving the world.

However, the teachers seemed to be okay with it, for the most part. As it turned out, there were a number of other students who also recorded their classes when they weren't there (though pretty much all who did used audio tapes or digital audio recorders). Even the most quarrelsome professor merely pointed out that he would not hesitate to fail her if she fell behind before he accepted the camera as a stand-in. Kim figured the difference in the teachers' attitudes from High School laid in between the state paying for her education and her paying for it herself.

So now she merely had to pick up the remainder of the books and supplies, then she could get back home to see how Hanna was progressing with her own 'studies'. Kim grabbed a book from the shelves, then she started following the numbering to the next one she was needing before she felt her cart strike that of another. Kim then raised her eyes to apologize for not watching where she was going, but before the words could come out surprise trapped them in her throat. The cart she'd hit was being pushed by Ron, and his cart was more than twice as full than hers was.

"Ron, what are you doing here….with a cart of course textbooks?" Kim found herself asking.

"Hi, KP. Yeah, I'm starting classes here this semester," Ron told her smiling, "It's part of my training for my transfer to Upperton's Smarty Mart as their new Assistant Manager, and what's better is that they're paying for everything!"

Surprise and happiness for Ron's good fortune colored her tone as Kim said proudly, "Assistant Manager? Wow! I'm so proud of you! What classes will you be taking here?"

"Besides my 'management prep.' courses," Ron told her, "I'll also be taking 3D Character modeling, C++ Programming…"

"Huh?" Kim asked in confusion, wondering if somehow some ray had managed to swap her boyfriend's brain with Wade's.

"Oh, those are the courses my academic advisor said I'd need to pursue a career in videogame programming and design," Ron explained to her.

"Oh," Kim said, chucking kindly and with relief that this was still the same Ron she'd fell in love with, "Of course."

When the Kimmunicator went off, Kim stifled the sound as she answered it and said, "I'm here. What's the sitch?"

Wade came on the screen and said, "I've managed to cross-reference the thing that was stol…"

Before Wade could finish what he was saying, Kim heard Monique interrupt him from off screen as she asked excitedly, "Is that Kim you're talking to?"

"Well, yes it is," Wade explained to her, "But I have some important…"

"This will just take a minute, I promise," Monique assured him as she came into view, kissing Wade on the cheek before she maneuvered in front of him in order to look fully into the camera as she energetically said, "I just wanted to thank you for including me on this project, Kim! It's a dream come true!"

"It's no big, really," Kim told her, "I figured there no person more qualified to help finish this project in time, and get it done right, than you: my style guru."

"Thanks," Monique beamed at the praise, then her enthusiasm lowered a couple of notches as she added, "You know, I love the opportunity to work with Wade, but the Tweebs…?"

"You each have an area of expertise that's essential to getting it done before it's too late," Kim told her in a serious vein.

" 'Before it's too late'?" Monique repeated with anxious tension, "Just how serious is this?"

"Extremely," Kim answered her, "My life, the life of little Hanna, and the fate of the entire world is resting on the success of all of you."

"Oh. Wow," Monique responded soberly.

"Wait, so Monique is involved in this project too!?" Ron asked Kim in stunned surprise, then he appeared to be putting the pieces together in his head as he ticked off on his fingers and said, "Wait a sec….Monique, the Tweebs, Wade…" Ron's eyes lit up as he excitedly asked, "Kim! Is it the…?"

The store owner leaned over the counter to shush Ron before he could finish, and Kim heard on the Kimmunicator the sounds of Jim and Tim arguing.

"I'm telling you, the plasma relays need to be connected to the repulsors!" Jim was yelling.

"Are you crazy?" Tim argued back, "They clearly need to be…"

"Oops! Sounds like I need to be getting back," Monique said with a sheepish smile, "Thanks again for trusting me with this, Kim. I'll do my best to not let you down." Monique then turns and kisses Wade again, saying, "Thanks, sweetie. Try not to be too long, okay. I don't think Kim's parents will thank me if I end up having to wring her brother's necks."

As Monique walks off screen, Wade chuckles self-depreciatively as he says, "Some task force, huh?"

"Conflicting personalities aside, they're the right people for the job," Kim assured him, "What was the information you'd called me about?"

"I cross referenced the item that was stolen in the last robbery with the pieces indicated to be lost or suspected to be destroyed in the previous one and came up with a match," Wade told her as he nit some keys on his keyboard, then the display switched to a 3D wire frame of two pieces fitting together as Wade explained, "These items when assembled together, form a mystical lode stone."

"What's a lode stone?" Ron asked in confusion.

"An ancient direction finder, kinda like a magical compass," Kim explained to him, "The real question is where does this compass lead?"

"No idea," Wade confessed, "but if Yono Fist went through the trouble to steal it then it cannot be good."

"Agreed," Kim said with a curt nod, "Any chance of tracking him down?"

"No luck so far, Kim. Sorry," Wade told her, "Seems he's been keeping lo-pro since Go City, probably wants to avoid any interference in the 9th inning."

Kim nodded in agreement as she asked, "Why don't you forward this info to Yamanouchi? Perhaps Sensei or Yori can tell us more about this lode stone Yono Fist has got."

"On it," Wade told her before disconnecting.


Meanwhile, Yono Fist is floating over a desolate canyon, the lode stone in his hands held steady. The top is decorated with a pair of arrows pointing in opposite directions, one light and the other dark. Yono Fist continues moving in the direction the dark arrow is pointing, changing course when the arrow shifts in a direction other than straight ahead.

When the arrow starts to spin wildly, Yono Fist's eyes light up with joy as he exclaims, "It's here!" He then grips the lode stone with his monkey-like feet as he fires a blast from his hands at the ground below. Then he makes huge sweeping gestures with his hands, which causes the loosened dirt and boulders to fly out of the pit and expanding the size of the crater until a golden pole topped by a ring is visible in the center.

Taking the lode stone back in hand, Yono Fist lands in the crater, then he pulls up on the ring, causing the ground to shake as a temple rises up out of it."

"Finally!" Yono Fist gloats to himself, "Let Ronald and the Han try to stop me now. They'll simply fall, to make way for my new world order." Yono Fist then closes his eyes and begins to chant, "Simian…"


In her secret lab, D.N. Amy is humming happily as she takes great care in dusting her prized statue of her beloved Monty, kissing it on it's nose afterwards, then she moves on to her Cuddle Buddy collection. As she's dusting off her Pandaroo, she hears a familiar voice chanting, "…Monkey Allah Ono…" She then turns around quickly, but she finds nobody's there. Neither is the statue of Monkey Fist.

"Monty…?" D.N. Amy calls out in confusion.


" …awaken savant Yono," Yono Fist says as he brings his chant to a conclusion. Then there's a brilliant flash of light from within the temple before him. Then, emerging from the entrance, out comes Monkey Fist, no longer a statue but now flesh and blood again, as he cries out, "I am Yono!"

Yono Fist half-smirks as he replies, "I know."

To be continued...
