KP All Grown Up v2.0: Future Stoppable for Team Tri Stoppable

AN: I hope that everyone is enjoying the sequel so far. I promise this is only going to get more intense from here on :D

Chapter 12: KWR is Danger Extreme!

As Tri Stoppable's jet landed at one of the runways at the Middleton Space Center, a rocket was in final stages of in preparation for being launched by the computer.

Jesse and the twins had parachuted overhead, leaving the robotic pilot to land as a distraction while they infiltrated the control tower from one of the airducts, which had been a trick they learned from their parents.

Rufina stayed onboard the jet since Animal was going to be there and they didn't want her under her control. She wasn't happy about being left out of the action, especially since she wanted to help the Grandfather of the twins just as badly as they wanted to rescue him.

However, the team was only able to get near the control room for the rockets on the base when they encountered their first mutant henchman. Even though they had reacted quickly, the henchman still was able to hit an alarm button, causing a lot more mutants to come to their location and surround them.

Once the three of them were complete surrounded, the mutants stopped and stayed where they were. This puzzled the three of them, as they didn't make any moves either to provoke them until they knew what was going on.

Mindy says, "What are they waiting for? Why don't they attack?" with Jesse frowning as he says, "I don't know Mindy. I suppose they are either waiting for further orders or..." Cindy finishes as she says, "Or they are delaying us until they can finish with whatever they came here to do."

At that realization they knew they had to do something but surrounded as they were, there were very few options to them. Fortunately they had all their gear still with them so Cindy pulls out some lip-gloss and says, "Get ready" to Jesse and Mindy.

Before the top can come off King Rat's voice came over the intercom, "I don't know what you're planning but whatever it is, I would advise you all to reconsider. I have Mr. Possible here as my unwilling guest and I know none of you would like to see him harmed."

The three of them look around before Jesse spots the security camera trained on their location. Mr. Possible's voice comes over a nearby speaker, "Don't worry about me kids, and get the scoundrel!"

Jesse says, "Put it away Cindy." And she nods silently before returning it back to where she'd gotten it from.

King Rat says, "It is so good to see you cooperating, now I want the boy to obey or Mr. Possible here gets hurt curtsey of my minions..." Mr. Possible shouts, "Don't do it Jesse! He plans to get rev-" before he is cut off and King Rat returns to say, "What do you say, boy? Will you obey? Or do the your friends end up with one less relative?" before chuckling in a evil, rat-like way.

Both Cindy and Mindy look at their best friend with great concern, remembering the mission in which they'd almost lost him because of King Rat in the first place. They didn't want to lose either Jesse or their Grandfather and they more worried for Jesse at the moment because it was clear that King Rat was more interested in him than their Grandfather. They also knew what Jesse was going to do because he was such a good friend.

Jesse was scared but he put on a brave front for his two best friends, as he knew what he had to do. He says, "I'll be ok, and so will your Grandfather. Trust me." He can see the fear and worry in their eyes that this time he might succeed in eliminating him. He sincerely did not want that to happen either and yet he could not let them down in keeping their Grandfather safe.

Jesse takes a deep breath and slowly lets it out before he turns to the camera with his shoulders straight and says, "Release Mr. Possible and I promise I will come."

King Rat says, "I will release the old man when you come to me, alone boy!" Mr. Possible's voice says, "Hey! Who are you calling old?" Before he is silenced again.

Jesse looks at Cindy and Mindy before he says, "Cin, Min, I have got to go. It doesn't look like there is any other choice. Try not to worry, I'll do my best to come back." He then turns and says, "You've got a deal King Water Rat, but ONLY if Mr. Possible and the girls are released as soon as I get there."

The girls knew something was up when he called them by those nicknames, something he rarely ever did. The only times he did that was when he was reminding them of something or when he was super-worried about them. They wondered which it was in this case.

King Rat says with a dark happiness in his voice, "You have a deal. I will order my mutants to back off the girls as soon as you are here. Henchmen, back off only around the boy."

Jesse nods to his fearful friends saying, "Be brave my friends, you'll see your Grandfather soon." with Mindy saying, "Just come back to us, Jesse!" and Cindy nods in agreement. He then starts to walk forward and the mutants backed off, letting him through but they quickly closed the gap behind him so that the girls remained trapped.

Jesse walks with a couple of mutants guiding him to the mission control room where Mr. Possible was with a few other of the guys who worked there. He had met most of them before and could see on their faces that they thought he should not be there because of the danger to him.

He says, "I am here, now let them go like you promised!" He points at the people trapped behind the mutants as he looks at King Rat.

King Rat says, "Very well, I will release them but first I want to know your secret boy!"

Jesse says, "My secret? What are you talking about?" He looks at the guy with confusion on his face.

King Rat swishes his tail menacingly before pointing it at Mr. Possible and says, "Either you tell me your secret or I won't free the old guy!"

Mr. Possible says, "Hey! I am not old! I am just..." He looks around in thought before King Rat says angrily, "Whatever! The point is I will hurt him boy, if you do not tell me your secret!"

Jesse says, "Hey! I do have a name you know! It is Jesse! And for the last time, just what IS the secret you think I have?"

King Rat growls and shouts, "You are still playing that game are you? I am referring to the way you captured me in the jungle! You showed a power unknown to me when you held on to me! I want to that secret!"

Jesse glances at Mr. Possible with a question in his eyes to which is met with the slightest of shakes before he looks back at King Rat and says, "Look, I was just a guy trying to help save his two best friends from being attacked by your mutants! Any guy would have held onto you as tightly as he did no matter what the cost!"

King Rat growls and says, "What do you take me for! I felt your power! I know you have an ability beyond that of a normal human! You took on a savage beating from my tail which should have broken bones and you still held on!" He walks towards him and grabs him by the collar as he says, "I felt your fire at my throat whelp! There is more to you than meets the eye and I want to know or I make everyone here suffer!"

Mr. Possible was shocked to learn that Jesse had been hurt so badly! He knew something about the mission but not all the details. Just enough to know that the girls had been very worried and wanting to take care of him until he got back on his feet. He says in a strong, angry voice, "Now wait a cotton-picking minute! Are you saying you hurt Jesse? You're the reason my granddaughters were so very worried about him for so long?"

King Rat says, "This annoying boy survived a fall after I shot his parachute down, managed to maneuver himself through a jungle, leaped from a tree to where I was, and held onto me with a superhuman strength and toughness as I used my tail to strike with the force of a baseball bat all over his body!"

He shakes Jesse by the collar who looks angry at the guy in return before King Rat continues by saying, "There is no way a normal human could have done all that! He would have had to have a body with super healing powers and superhuman strength to do all that! What I want to know is how he got such powers! Are they mystical powers like your little girlfriends? I must know!"

Mr. Possible knew about Jesse's superhealing abilities but superstrength? That was absurd! He knew that Shego's brother had superstrength from the story that Kim told him about the time she and Ron visited the Mucho Grande Bueno place in Chicago but how could Jesse have it?

Jesse says, "I will tell you only AFTER you free your hostages. That is my condition and so far I don't see you holding up on your end of the previous promise." His voice shows anger and distrust at the villain before him, not even struggling while he is held by the collar of his team shirt.

King Rat growls, "Fine! If that is the way you want to play it!" He throws Jesse against the wall where the mutants surround him immediately in case he tried to escape. He then presses a button on the intercom and says, "Henchmen! Release the girls as soon as the other hostages join them but make sure they leave the building!"

King Rat turns to the henchmen guarding the control tower people and says, "Let them all go!" Before he grabs Mr. Possible and says, "Except you! I want to know something!"

Mr. Possible watches the others run from the room, some screaming in fear before he says in a defiant tone, "And just what makes you think I will tell you anything?"

King Rat coils his tail around his waist and starts to squeeze before he says with a sneer in his voice, "Oh, I have ways of making you talk."

Jesse jumps to his feet and says, "Stop it! Leave him alone!" but his path is blocked by the mutants rats that raise their weapons up at him.

King Rat says, "I want to know how the girls got their monkey powers, and since you are their Grandfather, you should know the answer to that one!"

Mr. Possible blinks in surprise before he says, "That's all? There's no big secret there, they got their powers..." who is then cut off by Jesse shouting, "Mystical monkey totems on a mission and the totems were destroyed back then."

Mr. Possible is surprised and while it was the truth, it was not the whole truth since the power really came from their father but he guessed that Jesse had a reason to tell only part of the story so he says, "That's right, and so if you're hoping to gain any monkey powers like my granddaughters, you are sorely out of luck mister!"

King Rat stares long and hard at Mr. Possible to see if he was lying but there were no signs of when a man was lying showing so he says, "Very well... this is good news actually for me! For when I make them my wives, our children will have the combined powers of monkey and rat! And then with their powers I shall rule the world forever!" He pauses long enough to say, "You can now go join the others!"

Mr. Possible did not like the sound of the plans King Rat had for his granddaughters but before he could say much more than, "Now wait a min..." He was tossed out the door where the mutants caught him and dragged him away to join the rest of the hostages being freed.

King Rat turns with his tail swishing low over the ground but not quite touching it as he says menacingly, "If you are telling the truth and that you truly do not have powers, then I see no further reason to keep you alive... do you?"

Jesse thinks, "I can think of at least two reasons to stay alive. Now I just need to figure out how." He looks around for a way to escape or at the very least defend himself before spotting something that he knew wasn't really a weapon but used to fix things and he hoped it could help him fix the jam he was in.

As Jesse moves to grab the cutting tool, King Rat saw him moving and uses his own animal powers to move quickly and slam his tail hard into Jesse's gut. The blow sends him flying into the air so high that he could almost touch the ceiling before gravity takes over and sends him crashing down hard.

There is a small trail of blood leaking from his mouth and he coughs a few times as he thinks, "Sorry my friends... at least I was able to get... your Grandfather free." He slams his fist into the ground as the thought of not ever seeing his friends angers him and he misses for a moment, his fist glowing during that moment as he stands up onto shaky legs at first before steadying them.

King Rat looks at him with a curious and analytical stare before he says, "What keeps you going? Why do you stand up? Surely you are aware that with my mystical powers I can defeat you easily."

Jesse says, "My two best friends are waiting for me... I won't let them down. (Coughs up a little blood) I have never let either down before, and I don't intend to... start now."

King Rat moves with incredible speed and punches him in the face hard, sending him into the wall near the controls. He then says, "I admire your guts to face me, knowing the odds but I am your superior in every way and when I take your friends, the world will know what you know as well."

He then moves with near lightning speed with a punch and instead of striking a vital part, he is surprised to find Jesse's hand holding his wrist and giving him a very angry glare through the unbruised eye.

Jesse's hand is glowing as he says while tightening his grip, "I will cease to exist long before I let you use the most wonderful girls I've ever known be used as mere playthings in your mad desire for power and world conquest!"

King Rat tries to pull his hand free and is surprised at the strength that Jesse displays even while glowing. He narrows his eyes before saying, "I was right! You do have a power!"

Jesse looks defiantly at King Rat as he says, "Yeah, the power of friendship along with the will and desire to kick your ratty butt back to jail!"

King Rat uses his tail like a whip on the arm that is connected to the hand holding his wrist and the sudden pain causes him to release him. He notes that the glow fades before he wraps his hands around Jesse's neck and says, "Your power, like your friendship and life is now coming to a end boy!"

Jesse can feel the hands tightening and he thinks, "Sorry my friends... I tried." when suddenly a far wall explodes violently, sending debris everywhere and making King Rat's grip on Jesse's throat ease up enough for him to breathe once again.

As Jesse and King Rat look, they can see in the smoke what looks like a flying craft of some kind and definitely two female shapes but with all the smoke neither one could tell who they were before one of them says, "Let go of Jesse! Now!"

AN: Well, I hope the fight scene wasn't too intense for my readers out there. Isn't Jesse such a good friend? Will Jesse survive this encounter with King Water Rat?
