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

AN: Ron's sister is Hana Stoppable from Season 4. Warmonga is a very tall alien Amazon from Season 4.

Chapter 52: Duality

(At the Stoppable home)

Sheila shouts, "WHAT? That 9 foot tall alien got her hands on MY husband? I'll… I'll…" She trails off as what she wanted to say was not fit to be said in present company or in front of her son. She breathes heavily, still very steamed over everything that had happened in the last couple of minutes.

Starting from having walked into the house she had been burned by hot coffee, and had both her husband and godchild kidnapped!

Kim could see that Sheila was on the verge of losing it as her fuse with the Warmonga issue had always been a rather short one to begin with. She walks up and says, "We will get Drew back for you Sheila but I think we've got to start here and see if there are any clues as to who and where they took Cindy."

The phone connection was still active and so Jesse overhears Kim say that Cindy had been kidnapped.

Jesse shouts loud enough to be heard, "What was that about Cindy? She's been kidnapped again?"

Sheila lets Kim take the phone out of her hand as she was so upset that she was going to melt the phone in the next second anyway when her hands burst into flames.

Kim says, "I am sorry Jesse, but it is true… Cindy's been kidnapped by some unknown people and they blew up the wall to make good their escape."

Sheila walks around Cindy's room, her eyes carefully looking around for any clues, anything that would lead her to the people and allow her to vent the serious anger that she was feeling.

She spots the smoke canister by the Pandaroo which had seen better days and pushes it aside to get at the smoke canister only to be surprised by there being a second one under the Pandaroo.

Kim hangs up the phone and says to Ron, "Jesse's on his way over to help."

Ron just nods before he notices that Sheila is picking up two things from the debris. Walking over to her he says, "Did you find something Sheila?"

Sheila turns and holds out the two containers in her hands and says, "I found the smoke screen canister and it appears to be your usual run-of-the-mill kind you can buy anywhere." She holds up the other one and says, "This one has some kind of markings but I don't recognize them. It could be a clue as to who our mystery kidnappers were."

Mindy walks over to the security panel in the bedroom and says, "Hey! The security system was totally turned off! How did they know how to turn it off?"

Kim suddenly does a flashback where she recalls that she had turned it off by accident instead of hitting the button above it that would have put it on 'friendly' mode instead. At the time it didn't seem like a big deal because of Sheila's skill and promise to take care of things. She quickly says, "That isn't important anymore, what we need to do is focus on getting our friends back Mindy."

Mindy nods as she says, "I guess you're right mother."

Kim says, "Let's see if Wade can come up with anything about the strange markings." She then turns on the Kimmunicator's scanner feature and calls Wade.

Wade instantly appears in a hologram above the watch and says, "Hey Kim, what can I do for you?"

Kim says, "I need you to analyze this. It just may be our only clue as to who kidnapped Cindy."

Wade's eyes go wide as he says, "What?? How did that happen? When? Where? Why?"

Mindy walks up and says, "Why: The security system wasn't on , Where: Her bedroom, When: just now, How: they blew a hole in the wall, and that's all we know."

Wade types quickly as he analyzes the entire thing and says, "Hmms, that's odd… these markings don't match any known markings anywhere in the world. I better check with Yori and see if they match any of the unknowns. I'll be right back Kim." He closes the connection.

Wade rolls over to another station and opens up a connection to the Yamanouchi school and says to some masked ninja, "Hello, I'm looking for Yori. I need her help in identifying some unusual markings. Please tell her it is urgent, it involves the Stoppable family."

A few moments later with a different background, Yori's face appears on screen and she says, "What is it Wade-san? Is there something wrong with the Stoppable's?"

Wade nods grimly as he says, "Cindy's been kidnapped from her home and all we have to go on are some unusual markings. They don't match any of the ones known, so I was hoping that you might be able to use your knowledge of the unknown and be able to give us some answers."

Yori nods as she says, "Of course! The Yamanouchi school is always at service to the Stoppable family. Show me the markings."

Wade sends her the scans and he could tell from the quick intake of her breath that she had immediately recognized the markings. He says, "What is it Yori? Do you recognize it?"

Yori nods as she mutes the mic for a second and says something off camera before turning it back on and does her best forced smile as she says, "Unfortunately yes. Cindy is in evil hands and they are not known for having survivors."

Wade feels his blood turn cold as he says, "Who or what are we dealing with?"

Yori says, "One of the symbols on it was from the a murderous group calling themselves "M.A.S.K. which is short for Mayhem, Attacking, Stealth, Kill and they have a reputation for always completing any task."

Wade frowns as he presses his lips tightly together in thought until he says, "They only kidnapped Cindy, they didn't kill her just yet which is a good thing. That means we have time."

Yori says, "What was the canister designed to do?"

Wade says, "As far as I can tell it was designed to knock her out and obtain something from her. I don't know what yet but whatever it was, it couldn't have been good if someone sent such a team like them after Cindy."

Yori nods and says, "Agreed. I have already dispatched available ninjas towards the home in case they attempt to come back for Mindy or anyone else."

Wade nods and says, "Thanks Yori, I knew we could count on you. Well I better get back to Kim. She will want to hear all of this."

Yori says, "Go in good health my friend." Before connection closes and the moment that it does, her face grows angry. She had failed her friends, her students and those that were like a family to her.

Yori gets up and goes out of the small office room to one of the practice dummies in the classroom since she had been training the ninjas and promptly proceeds to destroy it in front of the students until there is nothing left.

She bows and apologizes before she tells one of the other instructors to take over the class. She then makes a quick exit with one of the other instructors quickly following her.

Yori sighs as she comes to rest under one of the big trees in the courtyard and sensed as much as heard the instructor who was clearly not trying to sneak up on her with all the noise he was making. She says, "I will be ok."

The footsteps approach until they are right behind her before she says to Yori, "It did not look ok to me."

Yori turns to see the female instructor standing there and she sighs, "I have let down the Stoppable family."

The instructor nods, "Ah… I figured that it had something to do with them. Only they in all the world have ever gotten you so worked up."

Yori flashes a look at the instructor, telling her to watch where she was treading.

The instructor says, "I doubt it is your fault. Your honor would not allow you to fail, and if you ever did… you would come back only stronger for it. Is that or is it not what you've been drilling into our students the truth?"

Yori nods, "Yes, you're right Shika. I will make sure to bring back Cindy safe and sound to her family or make sure that those who harmed her will regret it."

Shika's eyebrows jump up and knew that Yori was not the kind of ninja who made idle threats. She also knew of Cindy and Mindy from their times training at the school so she could sympathize with Yori.

Shika collects herself and says, "Remember there is no 'I' in team, and we will all work together to rescue them."

Yori nods as she calms herself down some by force of will. She then looks at Shika and says, "You are right. I know they have faced much, a kidnapping will not be the end."

Shika smiles at Yori as she nods, reaching out to place a hand on her shoulder and says, "You forget the greatest weapon she has in ensuring her freedom."

Yori looks at Shika with mild confusion until Shika leans forward and whispers, "More than her us, more than family, she has Jesse…"

Yori smiles at Shika and nods, "You sensed it too?"

Shika puts her hands on her hips as she says, "We are ninjas, are we not? The bond between those 3 are strong, but it is Cindy and Jesse who are destined."

Yori nods with a soft smile and says, "Pity be those who try to get in the way of destiny."

Shika smiles a little as she says, "Yes, on this we agree."

Together, the two of them walk off while Yori silently prays that Cindy will be safe until she can be rescued.

AN: Well everyone, I've been a little busy with school but don't worry. I have more stories coming out soon such as a new chapter of Future Stoppable and even a NEW Halloween story is coming out! So get ready for some fun reading! What did you think of Sheila's role in this chapter? Was anyone surprised that Wade didn't have any answers this time? What did you think of the fact that Yori did? What do you think of Yori and her response to the news about what had happened to Cindy? I know I wouldn't have wanted to approach Yori after seeing that happen to a practice dummy, would you? Was it a little over the top? Did you like the conversation between Yori and Shika? Enjoy!
