AN: Well, by this chapter I thought Tri Stoppable deserved a theme song but I didn't know what to write until I was listening to "Say The Word" and inspiration struck me. I also didn't want to get into any legal trouble or fanfiction trouble by using a song already out there. I don't usually do my own songs so tell me if you liked it and... be honest or nice, no flames please:D
Chapter 21: Impossible? Check our name!
Original Song: Try Stopping Us
By Aero Tendo (aka me)
When your world is crumbling,
When you need help,
When it seems that the bad guys are winning,
Try Calling,
Try Beeping,
Try us, we are waiting to hear from you
Try Try Try Stopping us,
We are on the way,
Here to save the world,
Save your world,
Save you from the bad guys,
Save you from the freaks,
Try Try Try Stopping us,
We are on the way,
You can't stop us,
You can't beat us,
You can't block us,
We are Tri Stoppable!
(On Earth)
Wade and his wife were rapidly typing at their computers in an attempt to try to find some way to help Kim and the others. They didn't have any spacecraft of their own and the highest one capable was not space ready which left them with little in the way of options.
The orbit of the decaying station meant that no rocket or space shuttle could reach them in time before it plunged into a fireball and neither one of them wanted to be thinking about anything along those lines at the moment.
Wade would have given up anything, even his precious computers and inventions if it meant that everyone would be able to come home safely. He knew that Kim had an ability to do the often impossible but when even two supergeniuses couldn't figure out how they were going to survive this mission, things looked pretty bleak.
(At the Space Station in orbit around Earth)
Everyone had worked hard on building the module and with Shego using her plasma powers to solder whatever needed to be done extra quickly, the time required to build the module for their escape had been cut down by more than a few minutes.
The few minutes that had been gained would prove to be very useful after the core exploded and rained some shrapnel into the walls of the station and causing alarms to go off all across the board!
After everyone was inside the crowded module, Kim says, "Ok... this is going to be a rough ride but before we go. I just want to say Jesse, thank you for what you did. You bought us the necessary time to build the module so no matter what happens from her on. I want you to know that we're all proud of you."
Shego appreciated the words but time was running out so she says, "While I appreciate what you said to my son Kimmie, I think it is about time we got out of here don't you think?"
Kim looks at Ron who nods to her and she closes the hatch, hearing it seal like it should before she then punches a red button on the makeshift console that had been crudely labeled, "Launch!"
So with a hard jolt that knocked everyone around, the module was launched from the station away from the planet Earth. The distance was not all that great but it did buy them some time at least.
Kim and Shego grip the steering controls which had been made in haste but Kim trusted Shego to do a good job with the joining of the joints with her powers.
Ron says, "Uh, not to be a wet blanket but does anyone have any ideas where to go from here?"
Kim says, "Don't worry Ron, I've got it all figured out." The surprised silence follows causing Kim to look at everyone and she says, "Well, I do! We're going to go aim ourselves at sister space station up here and if I'm right we should be able to make it."
Smiles broke out on everyone's face as they heard Kim's plan, even Shego who was usually having a somewhat sour expression on her face was smiling. Only thing was that Kim was the only one who knew the actual distance to the sister station and unless the astronauts changed the sister station or were on their way with a shuttle, she was afraid that they might all run out of air before they got there.
Kim says before anyone can start cheering, "Now, it'll be very tight on air so I want all of you to just relax and focus on breathing as little or slowly as you can. The longer the air supply lasts, the better I'll feel."
Ron smiles and says, "You got it KS!" and leans to give his wife a very loving, not-so-quick kiss on the lips.
Kim smiles at Ron before she says, "Thanks Ron, I needed that." He simply nods in reply to her with that confident look at her that said, "I believe in you, lets go get them!" to her on their usual missions. She turns back to the controls, feeling much more confident than before and somehow by sheer willpower and belief alone, makes the small module move faster through space towards the sister station.
Yori says to the her old students, "Perhaps now would be a good time to practice the low-breathing meditation I taught you all." She sees some nods and is surprised to see even Ron enter the state when during the visit to the ninja school he usually just dozed off and ended up sleeping on the floor but now, he was doing it as if it came naturally to him. She makes a mental note to ask him how he became so good at the meditation.
She turns to look at Cindy and Mindy as they both go into the state without any difficulty and then observes that Jesse seems to be in a deep state already but he something seemed different somehow and she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Yori turns to Jesse's mother and her eyebrows jump up as she sees the woman setting into a mediative state. Shego notices the woman's stare and says, "What is it?"
Yori says, "Forgive me, but I was unaware that you knew how to meditate."
Shego frowns for a moment before she grins as she says, "I'm a martial artist too, that means learning how to meditate. Besides, how do you think I was able to zone out my husband for years while he ranted and raved about how none of his take over the world plans would ever work?"
Yori giggles as she could just picture such a scene before Shego then says, "That, and they taught me a few tricks when I was pregnant with Jamie." She uses her eyes to point at Kim and Ron which surprises Yori again even as she seems Kim lightly blush as she'd heard what Shego said.
Yori says, "I see... well I am glad that the school's meditation techniques were so useful for you Lipsky-san."
Shego shakes her head and says, "Call me either Shego or Sheila, I rather you didn't call me by my last name."
Yori nods and says, "As you wish, Sheila" Choosing to call her by the non-criminal name in honor of the very fact that the woman had tried to be a hero on the station and chosen to do the ultimate sacrifice for her son and everyone on board the station.
She nods and says, "Thanks, besides..." She grins mischievously as she looks at Kim and Ron before she continues, "The way I hear it, the meditation was useful dealing with all the kids they had..."
Ron opens his eyes suddenly and glares at Shego which just makes her laugh loudly for a second, "I knew that'd make you snap out of it Ron." He says with a bit of a tone as if reprimanding one of the kids, "Shego, I think it is about time you started meditating and not wasting our air on trivial talking, don't you think?"
Shego just simply chuckles while grinning and she says, "Sure... whatever you say... Ron Unstoppable." Which gets the reaction she wants as Kim really blushes red and Ron whips his head to look at his wife in surprise.
Kim just focuses on her controls and by sheer will, the module gains 2 more mph to its speed.
Yori looks confused and when Shego winks at her, mouthing "Tell you later" before Ron turned his head to glare at Shego once more until she goes into her own mediative state. She watches as Ron squirms for a few moments before finally settling into his own meditation state.
Yori looks at the teens once again and is about to go through the motions of meditation when it suddenly struck her! Jesse, Cindy and Mindy were linked in their meditation! She expected it from the twins but not from Jesse!
Yori leans closer to observe something, she notices that not only had their breathing been in sync, but if she had to guess, even their heartbeats and auras were in sync with each other. She knew that the force that she had mentioned to them long ago was finally becoming a reality. She could wait until the final stages became a reality and hoped that nothing ever forced the three of them to use that power.
Yori closes her eyes to meditate on this and reduce the air, missing the very soft, almost invisibly subtle rainbow glowing that starts around Jesse before spreading to Cindy and Mindy.
Kim was very focused on her controls and with her back to the three of them, she didn't see them glowing either. She did glance at the oxygen levels and was pleased that even with as many of them in the module as there were, it seemed that it was being used at a two-person rate of use. She smiles and uses a very light meditation state which helped her stay awake while using less oxygen. She just had to love the meditation tricks.
Kim watches the radar and smiles as she saw what was approaching the module. She glances back at the others and considers telling them but figures it'll be best to wake them when they're actually docked.
Suddenly an alarm light goes off on her console and she snaps out of the light meditation to see what the alarm light was connected to. She is relieved to see that the air was fine but it was a proximity alarm that was going off so she checks the radar and sees something heading her way.
Looking through the windows, she spots a higher orbit satellite that was falling right at her! She turns the module quick as she can but it wasn't made for moving quickly so it just barely misses being hit!
So after a breath of relief, she looks at the console and notices that the warning light did not go out so she looks at the radar and her eyes go wide as she gasps softly at the way it looked like it was raining on the screen!
Now there are a few sounds in the world that Ron never wanted to hear from his wife. First, was her crying and second was anything that sounded like fear and the soft gasp that he heard even deep in his meditation was enough to snap him out of as that was a four-alarm in his head to him that something was wrong.
Ron opens his eyes and he moves closer to Kim to softly whisper, "What's going on Kim?" He sees her looking quite worried as she whispers, "Ron... look..." and points at the radar screen where he seems a bunch of dots moving downward.
Ron says, "Now's not the time to be playing videogames Kim..."
Kim shakes her heard before she, "Meteorites Ron... they're coming our way!"
Ron says loudly, "Meteorites!"
This catches the attention of everyone in the module and effectively bringing them out of their states and even as Ron gave Kim an apology, they were all looking out the windows where the first of them were starting to appear.
Shego says, "Ok, activating weapons system!" and punches a button on her side where she was sitting.
Everyone looks at her before she says, "What? I was planning ahead in case of space debris we needed to destroy."
Kim says, "Well, I'm glad you did because I don't think we can move fast enough on our own to get through unharmed."
Yori then says, "Here they come!" and points as more rocks varying in size from soccer balls to cars came at them.
Kim turns hard while the others simply watched and held on tight as the ones that looked like they were going to get too close were blasted by the weapons that Shego had attached to the module but destroying them also caused the module to be rained with small rocks.
Kim prayed that none of those rocks got through to damage any of the controls or make them leak any precious air.
Jesse could see the danger being caused by the rain of rocks upon the module and with a look at his partners, he could see that they were also thinking along the same lines as he was.
Ron starts to glow with his mystical monkey force powers and turns a bright blue with his hair standing up as Cindy and Mindy wondered what their father was thinking. There was no one or nothing in the module that he could possibly be using his powers on.
Both girls were very surprised when he thrusts his arms forward at a good-sized chuck of rock heading straight at them and saw how his blue monkey power seemed to leap from outside the module only to strike it with surprising power as it caused it to cause the meteorite to glow brilliantly at first before it and then explode into brilliant blue, sparkling dust!
Yori says, "Very good Stoppable-san! You did it! You destroyed it!"
Both Cindy and Mindy along with Jesse looked at Yori in surprise as if trying to understand how she knew he could do that!
Cindy says, "H-how! How did father do that?" as she looks at her Sensei Yori.
Yori just smiles softly, "It is something that only one who has fully mastered Mystical Monkey Power can do. One will not need an connecting object in order to affect it. All one will need is the will and the proper focus. It is the same as how your father can summon the Lotus Blade to him anytime and anyplace he so desires as long as he remains true and pure in his heart."
Kim's smile is for Ron as she says, "Thanks Ron, I didn't think Shego was going to be able to get that one."
Shego says in a miffed way, "Maybe I should just stop shooting and let Ron take over with his mystical junk? Hmmm?"
Kim shakes her head just barely while keeping her eyes out for more rocks as she says, "No, we need everyone working together in order to get through this in one piece."
Shego blasts another rock before it gets to close as she says, "I hate it when you're right princess... Ok, lets get through this, I have some payback that I want to dish out to a certain villain."
Ron says, "You can count on me, Kim!" while he is still glowing and he sees another one coming from Kim's side so he fires off another blast of mystical monkey power that has the same effect as before.
Mindy shouts, "Cool one Father! Do it again!" She throws a fist up into the air and nearly punches the ceiling.
Ron smiles at the praise from his daughter and looks around for another threatening meteorite before blasting it with more of his Mystical Monkey Powers. He hears Mindy cheer again.
Cindy says to Yori, "Can we do that?" as she points at what her father is doing.
Yori nods, "Yes, I believe you both can but only when you have completely mastered your powers and gained the focus that he has achieved.
After a while, both Shego and Ron seem to get it so that they were covering each other's back as they blasted rock after rock. It seemed to get lighter as time went on and they seemed as if they would actually make it.
Just then the radar started to beep as if it was going to have a heart attack and Yori says, "What's going on? Is it another meteorite?"
Kim, Ron and Shego's eyes go very wide as they look at the radar before Ron says, "Yeah, just one..."
Yori says, "Well that doesn't sound so bad, just blast it then."
As soon as Yori said that, a dark shadow overcame the module causing her to immediately regret her words. She thinks, "I'm a ninja, I should know better than to tempt fate."
Every eye goes to the source of the shadow and they see a very large chunk of rock coming right at them.
Shego says, "Well, now we know where all the small rocks were coming from." She turns the blaster towards the thing that seemed to be the size of a space station before she says, "However I don't think there's enough power in my blaster to take care of something that big... any chance I can get some mystical help here?"
Ron nods and says, "I'll give it all I've got Shego!"
Kim says in a worried tone, "Ron, don't hurt yourself ok?"
Ron looks at Kim and thinks about what's at stake, more than just the lives in the module but the people on the planet below. He wasn't as good at science as Kim was but he had seen enough Hollywood movies to know that something that big was not a good thing. He nods and says, "I'll do my best KS" before he then puts on his serious face.
Both Cindy and Mindy glance at each other, knowing that whenever their father put on his serious face, it was not a time to be messing around.
Shego says, "Jesse, if there is anything you can do help us with that giant rock hurtling at us... Now would be a very good time to do it."
Jesse says, "I... I don't know what I can do. I don't exactly have control over my new abilities."
Shego says, "Well, now would be a very good time to learn, and quickly!" She shoots at the huge meteorite but all it does is create small chunks that break off the surface which she has to deal with by blasting them before they become a threat.
Ron closes his eyes and starts to yell as his power grows brighter than Cindy or Mindy had ever seen their father become before he thrusts his hands forward to create a huge blast of Mystical Monkey Power right at the meteorite!
Everyone holds their breath, hoping that Ron can save the day and the blast strikes the huge chunk of land, causing to actually shudder under the incredible power that Ron was directing at it.
Ron groans as small sweatdrops start to form at his head, slowly increasing as Ron pushed hard... digging into all that he could to save everyone he held dear to him.
Even Kim had to turn and watch as Ron struggled, wondering if it was going to be too much for her husband, best friend and love.
Jesse saw the power of Ron and was in awe of it, he had never seen such intensity, such strength of will, or power of any kind being directed at anything before. He turns to look at his two best friends and could feel their eyes glued to their father with their hopes, their hearts directed at him as if that would help him succeed beyond imagination.
Jesse continues to look back and forth between the incredible blast of mystical power that continues to strike at the meteorite to the hopeful faces of Kim, Cindy, Mindy, Yori and even his mother seemed to be hoping for the impossible to happen... and then, that's when it happened.
Jesse started to glow in his rainbow style, slowly and softly at first so that no one saw it until Yori, who was the closest to him saw it out of the corner of her eye. His glow becomes brighter as he turns to Cindy and Mindy so he can say, "Cindy... Mindy... lets combine our powers and help your father."
The two of them look at him with their eyes growing wide in surprise at the way he looked and yet they weren't surprised as they could feel deep inside some kind of connection. No words were spoken, for none were needed as they nod and tap into their own Mystical Monkey Power and even though they had no idea how to do what their father was doing, they assumed the same pose as they'd watched their father do many times as he destroyed the smaller meteorites.
The rainbow glow seemed to spread over Cindy and Mindy without Jesse even having to touch them. The three of them seemed to all glow in sync with each other and considering that the rainbow was moving in an almost seemingly random way. Yori thought it could be only one thing, the tri-force that she had told them about long ago.
Ron was too focused on attacking the meteorite so he didn't know what was going on behind him even as the blue glow of the girls joined with his, and it gave him strength.
Kim glanced at the radar and could see that the huge meteorite was not moving towards the Earth, in fact it was showing that it was backing up!
The twin girls and Jesse all paused for the longest time in the same pose Ron had gotten into before he fired his blast. In the next moment that they would all remember for the rest of their lives, the three of them moved as one and with a rainbow-covered blue blast of Mystical Monkey Power, it leaped from the module and joined with the one from Ron to mix and swirl lively.
As the blast more than tripled in both size and intensity, those watching could have sworn that the blast took on the forms of not only the monkey that usually was the result of full power, but also the forms of Cindy, Mindy, Jesse and even Ron in there with fists drawn back and ready to deliver a powerful punch.
As the renewed blast reached the huge meteorite the forms seemed to draw back their arms with focus on their faces, the kind that Kim had when she knew she could not, and absolutely would not fail at the task before her.
When the blast reached the huge meteorite, so did the forms with their fists and when it all connected the effect was blinding as a huge bright blast of blue light seemed to engulf the whole meteorite and if there could have been sound in space, everyone would have sworn that there was a loud and primal monkey sound akin to a powerful roar.
The intensity was so bright that everyone in the module had to stop and shield their eyes, lest they all went blind. Kim managed to press a button as she covered her eyes to lower a solar shield and therefore saving the sight of everyone within the module.
As the blue light faded, everyone turned to see if they had managed to do the impossible. Had they managed to destroy such a huge mass of land that threatened everyone in both the module and on Earth? With held breath, everyone waited to see as not even the radar was being of any use at the moment.
Slowly and surely, the blue light faded to reveal clear blackness and bright white stars with no sign of any debris at all!
The loud cheering that followed from that next moment was so loud that when the the voice of the astronauts started to come over the radio, it could be heard even though the "Send" button wasn't on. It wasn't until the cheering went down that anyone even noticed that the astronauts were trying to communicate with them!
A voice over the radio says, "Come in space module! This is Shiny Upperton Station!"
Ron says, "You know, only a rich idiot would have named the Upperton space station "Shiny"..."
The voice over the radio says, "I heard that! If it weren't for the fact that you just saved the planet from a giant meteorite, I'd be tempted to leave you there for that crack!" The sound of the guy getting hit on the arm followed immediately by silence.
Kim says into the radio, "Hello? This is Kim Stoppable, asking for permission to dock."
A new voice comes over the radio and he says, "Permission granted Kim Possible. Did you manage to get everyone else off the station before it fell?"
Kim answers into the radio, "Yes, everyone is here and safe."
The voice says, "I'm glad to hear that and when you dock I'd love to hear the story about how you managed to save the world. How on Earth did you make such a powerful beam?"
Kim smiles as she says, "Oh you know me, I do the impossible before breakfast."
The voice laughs for a moment before he says, "Considering the time it is over where you're orbiting, I would guess you're right."
The voice says, "Anyway, you guys are lucky... the astronauts from the Middleton Station made it over here and when I heard that Team Possible-Stoppable and Tri Stoppable were in danger I put this gal into overdrive to reach you."
The previous voice is heard in the background saying, "It is both of those teams? Damn! How'd they destroy a huge meteorite?"
The voice says, "Forgive me, I am Captain Kodak and the rude one is Lt. Max. I owe you all a great debt for rescuing the astronauts from that villain. The way they tell about it, she was a real nut job."
Mindy shouts loud enough to be heard, "Nut job nothing! She's evil! The things she did...!" before Kim says, "That's enough Mindy!" which silences the teen.
Kodak says, "I'm sure I'll hear all about it after we get you all safely on board. It should be any moment now. Do you confirm Kim?"
Kim says into the radio, "I can, we are a few seconds from docking right now."
The module makes a slight rocking sound as it docks and a slight hissing sound could be heard as air is pumped around the seal.
Mindy says, "All right! We're safe now! We are heroes! I can't wait to get down onto Earth and..." She pauses as she notices that the door had opened and armed men were standing at the hatch.
The man says, "I think your trip to Earth just got postponed."
Ron grumbles, "This is the last time I leave Earth... nothing ever goes right in orbit."
The man says, "Ok, are any of you Animal? Speak up!"
They all stop and blink before laughing erupts until the guard has had enough and says, "Enough! I want to know if she's on board!"
Cindy says, "Trust us when I say this... if she was here..." Mindy finishes by saying, "She would be in worse shape than the meteorite we just destroyed." The venom in their voices hang in the air for some time after they finish speaking.
A few tense moments pass before the guard says, "Darn, I was hoping to earn a promotion by putting her in the brig." He lowers his weapon before nodding to the others who all do the same.
The guard says, "I'm in Larry, second in charge of security around here. Sorry about the reception but we couldn't take a chance on such a dangerous villainess running around free on our station after what happened to Middleton's station."
Kim says, "That's ok, we normally capture the bad guys but this time she gave us the slip. Don't worry though, we'll capture her next time."
Larry smiles at Kim and says, "Given the reputation for both your teams, I wouldn't doubt it."
AN: Well everyone I hope you enjoyed this chapter! This is probably the longest one I've written for this story so far at like 10 pages! Things sure got tense with the metorites didn't it? Whoo! Tri Power with Ron Power! I wouldn't want to mess with that would you? I bet I had you all going when the guards showed up at the opening didn't I:) What did you all think of the chapter? I didn't originally have it planned to be this long but hey... you know how it can be, sometimes a good chapter just writes itself to be as long as needed. All thoughts, ideas and suggestions welcomed.
