KP All Grown Up v2: Future Stoppable for Team Tri Stoppable
AN: Well everyone, here is the promised sequel to KP's "All Grown Up" story. Please enjoy the story:D Oh, and forgive me for any errors about skydiving, I have never been skydiving and thus know very little about it other than what I've seen on TV.
Chapter 2: Team Tri Stoppable vs. Evil
As the jet soars through the sky with the team logo imprinted on the side, Cindy, Mindy and Jesse check through the Cinmunicator for any updates to the situation. The robotic pilot, which had been programmed by none other than Wade himself, was flying the craft and making sure that everything was comfortable in the little planning area of the craft.
Cindy says as she points to a point on the hologram being projected by the planning table, "Looks like he is trying to destroy the village because they are sitting on top of some magical artifacts and it is up to us to stop him!"
Jesse says, "Why is it magical stuff that he's after? We live in the age of science! He should get with the times."
Cindy says, "Normally I would agree with you but remember, you know how potent magical monkey power is. So it is reasonable to assume that other kinds of magic would be just as powerful or even more powerful. Maybe even powerful enough to take over the world with."
Mindy says, "Whatever he's after, he's hurting people and I won't stand for that! We will stop him before he hurts any more people!" She smacks a fist into her gloved hand to show that she means business.
Jesse says, "Calm down Mindy! The last thing we need is to put the villagers in even more danger." This makes Mindy grumble for a moment before she sits back a little, nodding in agreement with her sister.
Cindy says, "Ok, now here is my plan…" before Mindy leans forward, slapping her hand on the table in front of her and says, "Why do you get to be the one with all the plans? I'm your twin and I should get to have some say in it!"
Cindy softly sighs and says, "Look, we all agreed that I would be the leader. And leaders make plans. Simple as that."
Mindy looks her sister right in the eyes before she says, "No! I think someone else should make plans for a change!"
Cindy sits back and crosses her arms as she says in an angry voice, "Oh? And just who do you think should make the plans? The Wadebot pilot?"
Mindy returns the angry look at her sister for a moment before she points at Jesse without ever looking away from Cindy and says, "No! I mean he should!"
Cindy shouts in surprise, "HIM?" with Jesse saying just as loudly and quite surprised, "ME? You want me to come up with the plan?"
Mindy nods and says to her sister, "Yeah! Why not? I've seen both the videos of him in action and in person whenever you were knocked out otherwise unable to, and he's just as good as you are when the heat's on! Remember how he saved us on the last mission when we were both knocked out?"
Cindy raises an eyebrow as she did remember the videos from the last mission and looks at Jesse who looks absolutely speechless from where he sat. She had to admit that her sister did have a point. There had been times when one or both sisters had been unable to accomplish what needed to be done and he had stepped up to take control of the situation to be able to save lives and save the world.
When Cindy had once mentioned this to her mother, all she got was a small and mysterious smile from her. She wasn't quite sure of what to make even now from what her mother had told her about how guys have a way of surprising you even when you think you know everything about them.
She thought she did know everything about Jesse though, after all they'd known each other ever since kindergarten. She knew his dreams, his habits, his favorite food to his favorite color, she even knew about his allergies and the little mole that he was very embarrassed about.
She had to remember that Mindy knew Jesse just as well as she did though and she was unhappy to admit that she had never even thought of Jesse as a leader kind of person which, made her wonder what else had she never thought Jesse was capable of... what else had she blocked from her mind until something or someone was going to point out to her which, should have been so obvious? This small thought made her uneasy for some reason.
A small naked mole rat crawls out of Mindy's pocket and onto the table. She looks at the three of them arguing about who should be making the plans and puts a small paw to its head as it squeaks, "Oh Brother!" The small mole rat taps a button on the small table and a tiny, but solid holographic keyboard forms in the air before her.
Rufina starts to tap, "What is going on up there?" and a female voice, which Rufina had chosen some time ago as her human voice says, "What's going on up there?"
Rufina sees that she gets their attention and they all look down at her. She types, "What are two you arguing about now?" She then looks at Cindy as she says, "Rufina! Mindy has this silly idea to have Jesse make our plans for dealing with the latest attack by the villain!"
Mindy says, "SILLY! You wouldn't know a good idea if it hit you on the side of the head! You know full well that Jesse is a partner, and yet it seems we treat him as if he were nothing more than a sidekick! He deserves a shot to shine!"
Cindy says, "Look! We don't have TIME for this! This is a very important mission with lives at risk! I can not…" She get interrupted by Mindy saying, "That's why this is the perfect mission! He can prove himself under fire just like he always has!" She then glances at Jesse before she says, "Look! How about we let him decide?"
They both turn to look at Jesse with an expression on each of their faces that showed that they wanted to know what he thought. The faces of the to girls told Jesse that they weren't going to back down until they got an answer out of him.
Jesse can't seem to think of anything to say that will help so he looks down at Rufina and says, "What do you think?"
Rufina seems to think the situation over before she types and the human voice says, "I say let him be the leader for this mission. He has earned the chance."
Jesse was obviously NOT expecting that answer as he looks shocked and turns slightly pale before the twins say in stereo, "Well? Will you do it?"
Jesse looks back and forth between the two girls and at Rufina before he closes his eyes for just a moment and says in a low voice, "Yes… I'll plan this mission. I will be the leader."
Cindy falls backwards into her chair and looks at the three of them for a moment before she says, "Ok Jesse, you are the team leader and planner for this mission. So don't hold back, and that's my final order for the day."
Mindy looks triumphant in her victory over her twin and sits back into her chair as she says to Jesse, "Yes, please lead us leader!" She has a smile as she says that and thinks, "This'll finally make Jesse quite hiding in the shadows, leaving us to do all the hard work. Besides... maybe this'll help bring this team closer to that perfect triangle-force sensei mentioned to me."
Jesse sighs as he thinks, "What did I do to deserve this? I don't want leadership." He guesses that this is what Ron had meant when they about as one of the dangers of stepping up from being a sidekick to a partner in the world-saving business.
Jesse looks at the situation and says, "Well, given how he's going methodologically from building to building, it is safe to guess that he believes that whatever he's looking for is in one of them and when he doesn't find it, he destroys it. I think the best plan is to take a page from the A-Team and go right through the front door."
Mindy grins, "That's just the way I like it!" while Cindy frowns at her sister before she says, "Remember, according to the reports in the location, he has magic animal powers too so you won't be able to fight him directly."
Mindy glares at her sister and says, "Monkey power rules over whatever his animal is!"
Cindy was about to say something when Jesse says, "Be that as it may, we have to do something to help those people." He waits for a moment to see if anyone has anything to say before hearing Rufina's human voice say, "What's your plan for saving the people?"
Jesse thinks about his options before he says, "It seems like the people are retreating barely one step ahead of him, so we'll come from the opposite direction and guide them to a safe location. Once they're all safe we'll deal with him."
Jesse says, "Rufina, in case there are any problems I want you to try to find whatever it is that he is looking for before he does."
Rufina types, "Aye, Aye Sir!" and does a tiny salute from her position on the table.
Cindy says, "That works for me." With Mindy nodding in agreement and says, "Let's bust some evil!"
Rufina's human voice from the computer even says, "We'll make him wish he'd never heard of Team Tri Stoppable!"
Jesse looks at the three females before him and knows that each of them will do what they do best on this mission. He felt proud to be on their team and though he still had reservations on being a leader, he was glad that Mindy had felt he deserved a shot at being a leader. He had to admit the thought had crossed his mind a few times but he had always pushed it away because Cindy was such a good leader.
Jesse says, "Ok, everyone knows what to do so let's go!" The others cheer and a few moments later the pilot drone says, "We are approaching the village. We are slowing down and approaching diving altitude. Does everyone have their parachute and gear ready?"
They all strap on the parachutes and slip on the remaining gear that each of them felt they wanted to carry with them for this mission. A round of everyone telling the pilot that they are ready goes around with Rufina even wearing a mini-parachute pack on her back even though she was sliding into Jesse's pocket. A door on the side of the craft then opens up and the cabin becomes very noisy and windy.
Normally Cindy would be first, as she was the leader and Jesse forgot for a moment that he was the leader until Cindy shouts, "After you leader!" He becomes embarrassed for a moment before moving forward to the door.
Jesse turns at the door and sees Cindy standing there, waiting for him get a move on while Mindy just smiles at him as she waits for her leader to do or say whatever he wants before he goes, she even gives him a thumbs up in a show of support. He shouts, "I'll see you all on the ground!" and sees them both nod before he turns and jumps through the door.
Jesse always got a bit of a rush whenever he dived; this was in fact one of the perks of the job for him. He could never understand why Ron was such a baby when it came to freefall. To him, it was such an exciting moment!
Eventually he gets low enough that he needs to pull his chute so he pulls it and his chute makes a sound as it opens up quickly to then yank him hard so that his feet are aimed at the ground. The chute had the team logo on it with the yellow TTS in a blue/green broken circle that was much like Team Possible's green/yellow circle style.
Just then he hears Cindy's voice over the piece in his ear, " Hey Jesse! It looks like we'll have to change our landing spot!"
Jesse turns his head and sees Cindy and Mindy coming up along his right side to then see Cindy pointing downward. He turns his head then to follow to where she was pointing. His eyes go wide as he sees that the villain had noticed them and was preparing a warm welcome!
Jesse shouts, "Evasive maneuvers!" The shout was unnecessary as the mic picked up his voice, but fortunately for the others, the earpieces had a smart chip that kept whispers and even shouts at a reasonable level.
Jesse spares a moment to glance at the girls and sees that they're following his orders before he starts to move as well but then he hears something no one falling through the sky ever wants to hear, a loud tearing sound.
Mindy looks at Jesse during a turn and she turns white as she shouts, "JESSE!" which causes Cindy to whip her head in the last known direction of Jesse and her heart skips as she sees Jesse with a big hole in his chute.
Cindy sees that Jesse is trying to do something before she thinks, "Why hasn't he pulled the emergency chute yet?"
Mindy was obviously thinking the same thing as Cindy hears Mindy say over the radio, "Jesse! Pull the emergency chute already!"
A voice that shouldn't have sounded calm says, "I've already tried. It was too damaged by whatever hit me. I'm sorry girls... not much of a first day for a leader is it?"
Cindy cries out, "Stop that Jesse! You're a fine leader! You'll make it somehow, you're member of Team Tri Stoppable remember? Just head towards the trees, you can still survive if you get snagged in one of the trees!"
Mindy knew what Jesse was going to say as she could see the chute's condition better from where she was. Tears stung at her eyes as she hears Jesse say, "I'll try... but I don't have much steering ability right now. Girls... in case I don't make it... it has been a honor to be on the same team as you two and... I love you both."
Cindy and Mindy both cry out Jesse's name in stereo just before he disappears from sight as he passes below a cloud.
Both Cindy and Mindy cry, as they fear the worse for their friend and partner in crime fighting. They just hang there watching for what seems like forever before they hear a burst of static and it sounded like the transmission from his radio went kaput.
The villain was apparently satisfied he'd knocked one of them out of the sky as he stopped and returned to destroying village home after home in an attempt to find what he was looking for.
Mindy says, "W-what do we do now?" to Cindy who didn't answer right away as she looks down at the ground. Cindy finally says, "We continue the mission... He would want us to help those people first rather than worry about him. If he... he..." She found herself unable to continue for a moment before she finishes by saying, "We can carry out his last orders if nothing else..."
Mindy nods to her sister before she looks down at the villain and casts a very cold look at him as she thinks, "You are going to get SUCH a kapowie when I see you!"
Cindy thinks to herself, "If only we hadn't been arguing on the plane, Jesse wouldn't have had to worry about us and been able to evade in time..." She feels very sad about losing Jesse and when she looks at the villain, she thinks, "You are going to pay for what you did..." She then loses sight of him and looks down as the ground rushes up at her.
Both Cindy and Mindy land on the ground without any problems and aside from the wind-streaked tears on their faces, they both looked determined to see the mission through. Their hands clenched tight in fists as they both wished they'd landed near enough to the villain to punch him for the loss of Jesse.
AN: Well, here is another chapter for you all. I hope you all enjoyed it! As you can all see, it will be focusing more on the teens for the next you chapters. What did everyone think of the way they traveled? And Rufina having a human voice? I thought the idea of having Jesse be the leader for the mission was a nice twist, what did you all think? Maybe they will be able to do that triangle-force one day... Heh! As for the sensei, any guesses as to who it is? Do any of you know what a kapowie is? As to the fate of Jesse, you'll just have to guess or wait until the next chapter to find out! I know I used a lot of references to others "like lets bust us some evil" and stuff but hey... it was fun! Please review!
