AN: Well everyone, I hope you're enjoying this story so far. Things are going to get kicked up a notch and soon! Ron's sister is Hana Stoppable as revealed in Season 4. (I believe the spelling is correct.)
Chapter 31: Score!
Hana says, "Hey everyone, I just thought you'd all like to know that we're almost home. Do you want me to drop you guys off anywhere Sheila?"
Kim says, "Hana, I think we could all do with a visit to the doctors. So just land and we'll get everyone checked out before we talk about dropping anyone off at home."
Hana nods and says, "I gotcha. From what I hear, you all had a hard time up in space."
Cindy says, "Speaking of which, how did you know we'd need you coming down from space?"
Hana starts to smile which then turns into a grin before she says, "Actually… I was flying the jet so I could fly by you and be the first to welcome you back to Earth. Imagine my surprise when I saw that spaceship attacking you guys. How did you fly through re-entry so quickly?"
Cindy looks at Jesse who was still sleeping as she says a little softly, "Jesse used his powers to get us through the atmosphere quicker."
Hana says, "Wait a minute, back up! Jesse doesn't have powers like that. He just heals at a fast rate!"
Mindy excitedly says, "Well his true power's apparently been laying dormant because he used his powers to help save the world, save his mother from being blown up on the space station, get rid of a core about to overload and blow all of us up, and then to get the ship through re-entry that much faster!"
Hana blinks and says, "Wow, he's been a busy guy. No wonder he looks so tuckered out."
Sheila says, "Yeah, Jesse's been a busy saving lives left and right. When I was working for Drakken, that kind of thing would have upset me but now…" She smiles at her son's sleeping form before she says, "Now I couldn't be more proud and happy."
Hana says, "So, anyone want to clue me on the large, green woman? What did she want with all of you?"
Sheila says with a bit of darkness edging her voice and it was a tone that Ron hadn't heard since Shego was evil, "Long ago when Drakken and I were evil and trying to take over the world, Warmonga shows up claiming to be from a planet called Lowardia. She took over my spot as Drakken's sidekick and nearly destroyed Kim before I saved her."
Heads turn to look at Kim and Ron to see if this was true even though Sheila wasn't in the habit of lying about such things.
Kim says, "It is true, but only because she wanted to be the one to destroy me. It was her job back then and she hated it if anyone else tried to destroy me so she usually ended up saving me just to have the chance to destroy me instead."
Ron takes Kim's hands into his, smiling at her as he says, "Yeah, and I'm glad that she never did. We never would have been able to have such wonderful children and a life together."
Sheila smiles and says, "Yeah I have to agree with you Ron, without you two around I probably never would have had any wonderful, amazing children." She looks at the sleeping Jesse as she says that last part.
Sheila says, "Anyway, the tweebs were the ones to trick Warmonga by appearing on one of Drakken's monitors and telling her to meet him on Pluto after claiming to be the Great Blue." She grins cruelly as she says, "I guess she's still a little sore about being out there for all these years."
Cindy says, "Who told her that it was a trick I wonder?" With Mindy adding to that thought, "And who was it that told her that it was our uncles?"
No one had a good answer to either of those questions, as Warmonga had never revealed the identity of the person who had awoken her and told her about the trick.
Sheila taps a button and a screen appears before her as she starts to type on a holographic keyboard that also appears just below it until her husband's face appears on the screen.
Drew looks surprised and says, "Sheila? What's going on? Why did you enter the emergency code?"
Sheila looks at her husband and says, "Because that giantess Warmonga is back! She just tried to destroy all of us on our way back from the space station."
Drew's blue face grows dark, as he gets angry before he shouts, "What How? I thought she'd still be at Pluto waiting for her Great Blue to show up!" He pauses before he says loudly, "How did you defeat her? Where is she now?"
Sheila says, "Honey, we managed to drive her off but I think she's on her way to drag you back to being the Great Blue so you can lead her once again to take over the world. That's why I entered to emergency code and put the place on alert. If anything, it should slow her down enough for me to get there."
Drew nods and says, "I'll keep an eye out for her but remember, she's still got all that alien technology at her disposal."
Sheila says, "True but we've had years to counter what we do know about her technology if she ever came back."
Drew nods again, "Yeah, that's a good point but even I never learned everything her ship was capable of. She just might have a way to still get me." He pauses to puff up his chest dramatically and says, "Even if she succeeds, I am good now and I will never help her to take over the world!"
Sheila knew that her Drewbie was putting on a show for the others but she knew him well enough that he was telling her that he would never betray her because he loved her and their kids. It was one of the reasons she loved him so much. If there was one thing Drew was, he was consistent with whatever he set out to do whether it was ruling the world or being the best husband/father he could be.
Sheila says, "I know but be careful ok? I want you back in one piece…" Her eyes and voice grow icy as she says, "that she-thing will pay, clear?"
Drew pales as he knew all too well her not-so-hidden meaning meant that if he let anything happen, she would dish out a most cold dish of revenge to the one who caused it.
Drew says, "What about everyone else? Did everyone make it off the station ok?"
Sheila nods, "Yes and we should be very proud of Jesse. He was quite the hero, he even saved my life."
Drew drops his jaw some in surprise, "Really? What did he do?"
Sheila didn't feel like rehashing it at the moment so she says, "I'll tell you in person but lets just say Jesse is a regular chip off the old Go Team block."
Drew frowns in confusion and says, "Did something happen to his powers?"
Mindy sticks her face into the viewer and says, "Jesse was awesome! His new powers saved her from getting blown up and he got us through the atmosphere quickly while Warmonga was trying to destroy the ship with everyone on it!"
Drew shouts, "What? She tried to destroy all of you! I don't care if she threatens my life now! I am not going to tell her anything or help her in any way!" He looked madder than Mindy had ever seen him be before.
Sheila says, "Calm down honey, everyone made it through just fine. The rescue left Jesse all tuckered out so he's sleeping peacefully right now."
Drew says, "Are you sure? I could run some tests on his new powers to see if they're having any harmful effects on him."
Sheila thinks about the offer and the very same thought had run through her mind earlier as well, so she says, "Ok, but only when he's awake. He deserves that much."
Drew nods and says, "All right. Well, I'm going to prepare for Warmonga's arrival. I'll talk to you soon Love."
Sheila smiles and says, "Bye Honey" before the connection terminates and then she wonders what Drew will be doing to prepare for Warmonga's arrival. She knew that he was still a genius, even if a bit on the odd and creative side so that meant just about anything.
The aircraft comes in for a landing and with Hana's skillful flying the landing is so smooth that it hardly felt like a landing.
Cindy and Mindy take the sleeping Jesse in while Hana keeps the jet warmed up in case Warmonga finds Drew and tries to forcibly recruit him.
Dr. Jack, a regular doctor for the family looks over James carefully and says, "All he needs is some rest." He looks at Cindy and says, "So, what's this about him getting new powers? I thought his powers of regeneration was all he had?"
Cindy nods as she says, "Same here but apparently something that happened when we were kidnapped to space caused an increase in his powers. I think our parents were the first to witness it."
Dr. Jack hmms in thought for a second and runs a scanner that Wade had created for the Kimmunicator but enhanced and redefined for medical purposes. It was as thin as 4 playing cards stacked on top of each other, lighter than the cards and with a powerful cpu dedicated to processing along a huge database on the Go, Possible and Lipsky families. He hoped that it would be able to give him some clue as to what caused it.
A long three minutes pass, which was unusual since on average the device, could analyze anyone within a minute. The device beeps to let him know it was done and pops up on the screen what it had discovered upon its careful analysis.
Cindy looks up from the way she'd been running her fingers through Jesse's hair and says, "Did you discover anything?"
Mindy says, "Yeah! What's the verdict? Are Jesse's new powers anything we should have to worry about?"
Dr. Jack frowns, tapping on the device to read more as he focuses on what the medi-scanner was telling him and ignoring Mindy's repeating of her question.
Dr. Jack says to himself, "What? This can't be right…"
Cindy and Mindy both shout at the same time, "What can't be right? What's wrong with Jesse?"
Jesse just then groans as the twins shout and mumbles, "I am up… sheesh, can't a guy get any shut eye?"
Cindy looks down and says, "Jesse! You're ok!" and gives him a quick hug around the neck, slightly choking him in process until Jesse whispers, "Air… would be a good thing… about now."
Cindy blushes as she lets go and quickly says, "Sorry Jesse!"
Jesse smiles, "No problem, if I had to go by hug… I'd rather be at your hands." He looks over to Mindy, missing her blush from his words. He says, "Hey Mindy, I see we made it safe and sound. So does that mean Mom was able to pilot the spaceship down safely?"
Mindy shakes her head and looks at her twin for a second, wondering just how much to tell him about what happened while he was asleep. Especially the part with his mother seemingly being destroyed but somehow surviving and how Cindy just about lost it for Jesse. She says, "No, the spaceship was a loss. We were rescued by Hana in the Possible jet."
Jesse sighs and lays back, "Great… I bet your uncles are really upset at losing a ship that they worked so hard on."
Jim says as he walks in, "Don't worry! We'll just make a better ship next time and we managed to save the A.I. for the next ship.
Jesse smiles, "I'm glad to hear that. I can't wait the new ship is built. I bet she'll be a beauty."
Jim grins and nods, "You bet! And this time, we'll make sure the escape pods are ready before the ship is ready for flight."
Jesse laughs, "Now that's a good idea!"
Both Cindy and Mindy were smiling, happy to see and hear that their best friend was already laughing and smiling like normal despite all that had happened to him earlier.
Kim and Ron contact Wade to let him know everyone was ok and to see if he knew where Warmonga was but Wade didn't have any good news.
Wade says, "Sorry Kim, Warmonga's cloaking technology for her ship is just too good. Unless someone can visually spot her first, I can't get a lock on her."
Kim says, "Isn't there any way you can penetrate the cloaking, Wade?"
Wade says, "I'm still working on that but so far her alien technology is proving to be superior as much as I hate to admit it."
Ron says, "You're a super-genius Wade. I know you'll crack it in no time! Just don't give up and then we'll be able to send her back to her home planet."
Kim says, "Ron, we don't even know where her planet it. How are we going to send her back?"
Ron says, "I bet that ship has a button that does it. All the villains have a button for going home when things get rough don't they?"
Both Kim and Wade look anywhere but Ron before Wade finally says, "I hate to say it, but I think Ron's right. They all do have escape pods that have to take them somewhere and home might just be one of those places."
Kim sighs and says, "Ok, we capture Warmonga and send her home on autopilot. That should make Sheila happy."
Ron nods "Yeah, but let's make sure she isn't the one at the controls. I bet she'd send Warmonga home on a path through a sun."
The three of them remember Sheila's reaction to Warmonga earlier before Kim says, "Um, good idea Ron." She the gives him a big squeeze around the waist.
Ron chuckles and squeezes her right back as he says, "That's what I'm here for Kim. The good ideas."
Kim smiles more as she kisses him on the lips, "That you are sweetie."
Yori contacts the Yamanouchi School to also assist in locating Warmonga and the other villains who had escaped from before.
Yori looks at Hirotaka who was on the other end of her call and says, "Contact all ninjas and alert them to keep watch for Warmonga, Animal, and King Rat. I think they may try to strike at the family again."
Hirotaka nods and says, "It shall be done Sensei." He pauses as someone from off-screen hands him something which he reads before he says, "Sensei, one of our informants has just found out that Animal and King Rat are work back together as a team, only this time they have hired some help."
Yori frowns, as she didn't like the sound of this. She knew that Animal and King Rat were proving to be a challenge for both teams just by themselves. She did not like the thought that an already formidable team would suddenly become tougher.
Yori says, "Do we know who they hired?"
Hirotaka shakes his head and says, "No Sensei, we do not have that information yet. All we know for certain is that they are putting up big money for the new help."
Yori's frown deepens as she thinks, "Also not good, big money means tougher, more dangerous foes." She says, "I must speak of this with them immediately. Contact me as soon as you have found out anything more."
Hirotaka nods as he says, "I shall Sensei." He then bows and closes the connection.
AN: What do you all think of this chapter? Since Hana is a baby on the show, I figure I can make her personality any way I want. Cindy and Mindy are still good friends to Jesse but do you think they shouldn't have skirted the issue of Jesse's mother? What did you think of the little exchange between Kim, Ron and Shego about their little recapping of history? What did you think of the conversation between Drew and Sheila about Warmonga and Jesse? Was anyone surprised at Drew's reaction when he learned about what Warmonga almost did to everyone? What did you think of Dr. Jack? Picture Jack Sparrow as a doctor and you've got him. Lol! Did anyone like the medi-scanner he had? Any guesses as to what he discovered? Do you think that Sheila would actually plot a course through a sun for Warmonga? Yori now knows about a possible threat, how do you think they will react to this new information? Will the villains succeed now with part of their plan discovered? Will Warmonga be back soon? Will Cindy and Mindy's question about who told Warmonga ever be revealed? Keep reading to find out!
I am working on Animology 2, TPTE, Forget Me Not, Starfighter and Curse of Camp Wannaweep(not in any kind of order). Anyone want to suggest a story to be worked on first?
As usual, all thoughts, ideas, suggestions, notes, offers for making a KP comic out of my stories, Kaneda tips (online game/myspace/second life combo), and more are always welcome!
PS If anyone's seen Pirates of the Caribbean 3 movie, let me know how many of you actually SAW the epilogue at the end after the credits? I thought it was so cool with the woman, 10 year old boy, and the green flash for the ship. What did you think? (those who saw the movie should know the significance about all 3 I just mentioned.)
