Chapter 59: The Rescues!
(King Rat's Castle)
Cindy jumps down through the hole that King Rat, apparently fully powered up in what was a rage mode in an attempt to save Jesse! She did not want to lose him again. She was not strong enough to have that happen twice to her. Her heart and soul could not take it if she lost him again.
She clenches his fists tightly, ready to sacrifice herself if need be to stop King Rat from ending the life of Jesse.
She cries out, "Jesse!" as King Rat throws Jesse like a throwing star through another series of walls and she closes her eyes for a moment as she could see Jesse's blood splattered all around the horrible destruction.
When Cindy opens her eyes again, she has a look of calm, inner fire much like the feeling she'd felt when Jesse was gone and Stone was all that was left.
King Rat moves super fast through the destruction and is about to punch Jesse through the wall again even as he tries to heal enough to move out of the way. He licks his lips, running his tongue over the top two teeth that happened to be longer than the others before he says, "What made you think you could stop me? You have never been a match for me."
King Rat throws his powerful punch with his fist glowing brightly with pure power and instead of the satisfying crunch of Jesse's skull beneath his fist, he finds his hand stopped, blocked by the powerful grip of a very feminine hand. He growls, "WHO DARES?!" before his eyes follow the hand up to the face of Cindy who looked extremely angry at him, and that was calling it on the low side of things.
King Rat smiles at her and says, "Just a moment my bride, as soon as I finish off this lowlife we can have our honeymoon." Thinking he still had the upper hand in terms of raw power.
Cindy doesn't say a single word, she simply starts to squeeze and while she knew she shouldn't be feeling good about it but to see King Rat's expression change into surprise and then one of pain as she started to crush his fist in her hand.
King Rat yanks his hand free and rubs it for a moment as he glares at his bride to be, his sexual playtoy and says, "You can forget about me going easy on you on our honeymoon! You're getting the rough treatment now!" He feels a hand grab his leg and when he looks down, he sees Jesse looking up at him though not fully healed yet and hears him say, "Over… my… dead body"
King Rat shouts, "That's the idea!" And raises his fist up to deliver a powerful blow again but this time finds himself sent flying through the air from a powerful punch by none other than Cindy!
King Rat sputters at the indignity and flashes his mystical power, hoping to intimidate her as he gets up to his feet quickly and says, "That's it! I can see I have to teach you who is in charge around here!"
Cindy looks down at Jesse with a deep sadness in her eyes and manages a weak smile even as he smiles and waves at her with the only good hand he had healed at the moment. She snaps her head as she hears King Rat's words and stares at him wordlessly before moving at high speed towards him just as he moves towards her.
King Rat and Cindy meet in the middle and their punches does so much more than strike each other. It creates a mystical energy type "BOOOOOOOOM!" that sends mystical power flowing through the whole castle. Shaking it down to the very foundations that it rested upon.
A minute before their powerful mystical punches collided Mindy had found herself trapped in a dead end and Karen was slowly approaching her, watching her every move.
Mindy cries out, "Please! Stay away!" She then cries out even louder, "DAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
Karen says, "Your daddy isssn't here to sssave you. You are MINE monkey-girl!"
Just then Ron catches up and says, "I wouldn't count on that!" He was glowing at blue, full of monkey power and ready to defend his daughter from her greatest fear.
No sooner than those words were out of his mouth, his eyes go wide as he senses an enormous power wave of mystical energy heading their way! He shouts, "Mindy! Get down! NOW!"
Mindy curls up into a ball with her hands over her head as she thinks her father is going to do something and plus she tries to protect herself as much as she can from the scary snake-girl. She can feel a shuddering through the ground and wonders what it could be and looks up to see Karen looking around while Ron heads her way but before he could take more than a step or two the whole room… no, the whole castle felt like it was shaking!
Mindy looks at her father and forgets her snake fear for a moment as her curiosity overwhelms her for the moment and says, "Father? What is going on?"
Ron puts on a serious face and says, "Something bad…"
Jesse could not believe what he was seeing! Cindy was taking on King Rat all by herself and not blocking any of his blows, but then… to his surprise, neither was King Rat! It was as if they wanted to feel the blows! He turns his head when a flash of blue cracks the wall beside him.
King Rat was furious! He had not expected a mere girl to be anywhere near as powerful as she was showing herself to be! He had expected her to be weaker and go down with the first punch! However she was showing herself to be far, far tougher than he had ever given her credit for and that angered him but no matter how angry he got, no matter how much he pushed his power. He could not make her budge from her spot! Her footing was more solid than the very ground which rocked and sent flying debris into the air each time their mystical blows connected!
Cindy struck at King Rat, not out of anger… that had been long used up by the first few punches. She struck at him now for love. Love of Jesse and the knowledge that if she fell. If she could not defeat King Rat, then Jesse would most surely be destroyed and she swore again as she had before, that she would never again allow Jesse to be destroyed if she could do something to stop it. She owed him that and much, much more. She owed him her life many times over and not just because he had quite literally saved her life many times but also because he had given her the ultimate gift of a life with him and she would damned if she would allow it to all end because of some insane King with mystical rat power!
King Rat could not understand it as he began to have to actually block her strikes now because for some reason her power, her blows in both intensity and speed were actually increasing and he felt like he had reached a ceiling in his power levels!
King Rat could not understand at all where Cindy was able to get such immense power from! He was King Rat! He was supposed to have unsurpassed power and yet this frail little girl before him was surpassing him! WHY? All he wanted to do was destroy his annoying enemy and raise more mystical creatures through the very girl he was trying to defeat!
King Rat takes a blow and is sent back with his feet skidding along the ground as they tried to make purchase but between all their blows with each other and his fight with Jesse. The ground was very unstable and hard to get a purchase on even with his rat powers.
As soon as King Rat comes to a stop and looks up, Cindy is there in his face with monkeys dancing visibly in her eyes before the light in the room starts to darken until it is pitch black. He snarls, "Get out of my face and get on your knees where you belong and just maybe I will let the others who came to rescue you leave here alive."
Ron looks down at the unconscious Karen who had turned to battle him as soon as the castle shaking had started and thinking that he was the cause for it, decided to destroy the threat before taking on the coward. He walks over to Mindy who had covered her eyes and gone into a defensive position the moment Karen flared her power enough to make the snake a defined shape around her.
Ron says, "Come on Mindy, the scary snake girl isn't going to be threatening you anymore."
Mindy shakes her head with her hands still over her eyes and says, "Uh-Uh!"
Ron sighs and says, "Fine then, stay here until the snake wakes up."
Mindy quickly moves her hands and peeks to see the still unconscious Karen face down on the ground. She looks up and says, "Is she really knocked out?"
Ron nods and says, "Come along now. I think your sister is in some serious trouble."
Mindy stands up, feeling more like herself with each passing second as she begins to worry about Cindy and says, "What? How do you know Father?"
Ron says, "You know that shaking earlier?"
Mindy nods as she could see him frown unpleasantly and hears him say, "That was a shockwave caused partially by Cindy and if I had to guess, by King Rat as well when they attacked each other with their mystical powers."
Forgetting all about her fears Mindy says, "Well then what are we waiting for! We have to go help Cindy and Jesse!"
Ron says, "Huh? Jesse?"
Mindy sighs, as she knew her father could be dense at times, "Hello! Cindy admitted to loving Jesse! That means the only way she could be fighting King Rat on that kind of level is because he was hurting Jesse!"
Ron starts to run as he says, "Come on, let's go Mindy!"
A form of blackness starts to absorb all the light in the room with an eerie redness within it that swirls around them rapidly as Cindy just stares at King Rat and says, "I want you to leave my Jesse alone. Promise me that."
King Rat's eyes went wide and he looks at where Jesse is and notices that he was fully healed and standing, just watching before he hears Jesse say, "You better listen to her. She's going to kick your butt if you don't."
King Rat shouts at Jesse, "You! I don't take orders from lowly commoners like you! I will not be defeated by a mere girl!"
Jesse just crosses his arms with a small smile and says, "King Rat… if you don't give up, I can tell that Cindy is going to knock your crown off and shove it up your royal ass. Face it, she is the more powerful of the two of you. You know it, I know it, and she knows it."
King Rat glares at Jesse, wishing to destroy him utterly at that moment but he also knew that he was right and if he tried to make a move towards him, Cindy would undoubtedly block him as she had before. What baffled him was just WHY the girl was so much more powerful and why she would continue to defend him. He was insignificant in comparison to the power of their mystical abilities.
King Rat then comes up with a simple plan, one that would allow him to win! He darts as fast as he can towards Jesse, knowing that Cindy will move to block him from approaching him. However it is a fake and as soon as Cindy is vulnerable in her moving, he strikes out at her instead but what he did not expect was that she would be so damn fast!
Cindy was glad to have the thousands of red monkeys circling her in the blackness as they saw what he was doing and somehow let her know through the power and with a dramatic boost in speed powered by her love for Jesse. She manages to block the strike that he does but it came at a price.
King Rat was amazed that Cindy would so willingly injure herself just to protect an insignificant bug like Jesse.
Jesse cries out, "Cindy! NO!" He rushes towards her even as Cindy uses her mystical power to grab King Rat, as she knew he was coming to her aid and tosses him OUT of the castle!
Cindy didn't care where King Rat landed for the only thing that mattered was that her Jesse was safe. Nothing else mattered to her.
Cindy falls backwards and is not surprised to find herself falling gently into Jesse's arms. Even as she fell, she knew… that she would end up in Jesse's arms. It was the one place where she felt the most at peace and happy.
Jesse says, "Cindy! Are you alright? Cindy! Please answer me!"
Cindy looks up at Jesse with her hands moving away from the nearly fatal wound she had received because of her blocking King Rat's strike. She says, "I am ok Jesse as long as you live."
Jesse's eyes go wide and he moves his hand over her wound and says, "No… Cindy. I can't lose you… Please don't go." Tears start to flow down his cheeks, until they reach his chin and drip down to her cheeks.
Cindy could still feel the full power of the mystical energy coursing through her, trying to keep her alive but even she didn't know how much longer it could manage to do so. The strength of her love for Jesse was strong but there was a limit to mystical power even one as strong as hers.
Jesse closes his eyes and prays for even the use of even the littlest bit of his healing power to be shared with Cindy. He reaches deep, searching even into his heart for the power would need to save Cindy and finds within the part of him that also loved her, hidden under a cloak of fear of rejection and disbelief that she would choose him the power that he sought.
Jesse sees the power within and knows that it was all that remained of the last mission on some level and that it his own fears were what was stopping him from truly reaching out. He also knew that he could not just let Cindy go. She was too important to him and if there was ever anything he could do for her, he would do it.
Jesse starts to glow in healing power, which he then directs down to his hand covering Cindy's wound. He says softly enough only for her to hear, "Cindy, I can't lose you. Please stay with me."
Cindy looks up at his face and knows that he is doing his best for her, once again. Even after she saved him, he is trying to save her. She moves her hand up to cover Jesse's over her wound and rasps, "I'll never leave you Jesse. I love you more than anything… more than life itself."
Jesse's glow on his hand intensifies to nearly blinding levels as he says, "You don't understand Cindy. I can't lose you because…because I love you too much to let anything happen to you."
Cindy's hand starts to glow on top of Jesse's as she smiles up at him with happiness and peace in her heart. She had finally heart for certain that Jesse loved her as well and knew that she would survive because their hearts were finally one.
The room's blackness that was mixed in by the red monkeys starts to change as the blackness was replaced by the color of Jesse's healing factor before spreading onto the red monkeys as well before the light's intensity picked up and soon both Cindy and Jesse were engulfed in the light so that when it was finally over. They were back to a normal room with all signs of Cindy's black room/red monkeys gone.
Jesse smiles at Cindy and lifts his hand with hers still on his, and her wound was gone. Even her outfit was fully restored back to the way it was supposed to be.
Cindy moves her hand up from Jesse's to cup his cheek and without a word they moved towards each other and kiss each other very lovingly. Neither knowing that at the moment their lips had chosen to meet, Mindy and Ron had run through the door into the room to see if they could be of any help.
Mindy smiles at the sight of her sister kissing Jesse and says in a voice barely above a whisper, "Great going you two… I'm happy." She then looks over at Ron and wonders what is going on through his mind.
Ron just stares at his daughter and her best friend, a boy whom he had known practically all of the boy's life and knew that that time and time again. He had proven himself worthy of Cindy.
So he had no objections to them sharing a kiss for he had on some level been rooting for Jesse to realize that he loved Cindy but it also meant that now things were going to change for the two of them in ways he was certain that neither of them would ever expect.
He knew that there would be time to worry about that later and so he reaches out, grabbing Mindy on the arm who was still smiling at her sister and Jesse kissing each other and with a jerk of his head he leads her out of the room so that they could have privacy.
(Warmonga's Base)
Warmonga turns her head and says, "Daeduliusa, what are you doing here?"
Daeduliusa smirks and says, "Daeduliusa saw how the fight was going and thought you could use the help."
Warmonga shouts, "Warmonga doesn't need any help! Now go monitor the blue and tell me when he is finished!"
Sheila's eyes go wide at the way Warmonga put that and shouts, "No! No one will be harming my Drew!"
Daeduliusa says, "That is also what Daeduliusa came here to tell you. The device has malfunctioned and stopped feeding the computer."
Sheila says, "Wait… Are you telling me that he is ok?"
Daeduliusa turns and says, "Who are you? What is he to you?"
Warmonga says, "She is his battlemate apparently."
Daeduliusa says, "Isn't that what they call his girlfriend?"
Suddenly a few start to snicker as they try to repress some laughing in Shego's group until she silences them all with a harsh glare. Sheila turns back to the others and says, "I am his WIFE! Whatever you call that in your alien world"
Daeduliusa and Warmonga both look surprised at her before Warmonga says, "Warmonga had no idea that you were his War Maiden."
Daeduliusa nods and says, "That makes sense, she has been fighting you with the intensity of one."
Sheila says, "So does this mean you'll give him back without a fight?"
Warmonga says, "Daeduliusa go check on him and make sure to finish the upload."
Suddenly there is a large explosion sound that also makes the alarms on the base start to go off like crazy!
Daeduliusa turns and runs through the door to investigate the explosion even as Sheila starts to follow only to have Warmonga block her passage with her staff.
Sheila growls as she looks up at Warmonga who says, "You shall not pass Warmonga! The blue one still has many questions to answer!"
Sheila grabs the staff and twists as she tries to push Warmonga aside but the large alien was too experienced to allow such a simple maneuver. She says with fury in her voice, "I am getting past you and you are NOT stopping me!"
Warmonga says, "You and what legion?"
Sheila says without even looking over her shoulder, "The one right behind me!" She powers up her hands and starts to melt the staff where she is touching it but Warmonga sees what she is doing and sends a energy jolt into her with the press of a button causing her to fly back!
Sheila groans as she starts to get up off the floor when Warmonga raises the staff to strike at her head but Warmonga is suddenly blasted by one of the ones with her who shouts, "Uh-Uh! There is no way I am going to allow you to behead my favorite relative!"
Warmonga twists her handle and a small humming starts and with a grin she raises her staff and even though Sheila was now fully ready to dodge again, another electrical blast is shot at Warmonga. However this time the staff absorbs it and shoots it right back at the source!
He is knocked down and says, "Ow! I fell on my house keys!"
Sheila growls and does a flaming swipe upwards but Warmonga dodges and rams the staff into her gut, sending her to the floor once more.
The door opens and suddenly Daeduliusa is sent flying through it to land on top of Warmonga!
Warmonga pushes off the unconscious woman and says, "Who dares??"
Drew walks through the door and says with his hands tightly balled into fists, "I dare Warmonga! You are not going to get your way, ever again!"
Warmonga's jaw drops in shock and she says, "The blue one? Are you finally the great blue?"
Drew rolls his eyes and says, "I am NOT the great blue! Now leave my planet before I am forced to get really rough!"
Sheila says from the floor in surprise, "Drew honey? Is that you? How did you escape?"
Drew rolls his head around and says, "How did I escape? Did you already forget that I was once the great and feared Doctor Drakken! Do you really think that I could be held for long by a simpleton like Warmonga for very long?"
Sheila gets up to her feet and smiles as she says, "I suppose not. I am sorry, I won't bother the next time she kidnaps you then."
Drew hmphs dramatically before he suddenly says, "Well… I appreciated that you did and you can come rescue me the next time too."
Warmonga has finally has had enough and shouts, "ENOUGH! Warmonga not know how you escaped but apparently Warmonga's interrogation was too gentle! Next time Warmonga will leave increase the voltage!"
Drew slaps his hand over his face and says, "Oh Snap! I had hoped to avoid this part…"
Warmonga says in confusion, "What part?"
Sheila's hands were glowing brightly with her rage, she had thought Drew was merely imprisoned but to hear that he was actually tortured? That was too much! She yells, "ARRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!" and blasts the off-guard Warmonga with a huge blast that sends the huge alien woman slamming into the wall very hard!
She wasn't about to stop there either and approaches the barely conscious alien woman with powerful plasma blasts in rapid succession with each strike hitting various parts of her body and shredding bits of her battle clothes into nothing!
Drew shouts, "Sheila! Stop! I am alright! There is no need to go any further! She has the wrong idea about Mindy too!"
Sheila turns her head and says through gritted teeth, "What ABOUT Mindy?"
Drew regrets his choice of words but he chooses to tell the truth anyway, "She thinks Mindy is the great blue because of the mystical monkey power. But the joke's on her, because it was really Cindy who had used her power against her remember?"
Sheila shouts, "WHAT?" with enough anger in her voice to cause everyone in the room to flinch and then says, "That means that she could go after our god-children next!" She begins to pour a lot of intense power into a ball and says, "She must be destroyed!"
However that's when the Wegos appeared in front of her, multiplying to form a barrier in front of her. The others walk in front of the Wegos as well before the woman formerly known as Electronique steps to the foremost and says, "Stop it Shego! You know we cannot allow you to destroy her. That is not the way we do things!"
Sheila snarls with the ball glowing brightly as her rage and she says loudly, "Everyone get out of my way! She tortured my husband for information! TORTURED! That is the one things I will never forgive her for!" She breathes heavily as her fingers flex and her eyes stare past the wall of bodies to see Warmonga slumped up against the wall. She so wanted to destroy Warmonga more than anything at that moment. Her rage at that moment was even more than when she was angry with Drakken while under the moodulator influence and she had thought she'd never top that one.
None of them move an inch even as Sheila shouts, "Move them Electra! I am going to…"
Electra calmly says, "Do what? Blast us? Your family? Your best friend? Do you really want to hurt the people who truly care about you with enough love and courage in their heart to do the right thing that they will stand up even to you to save you from yourself?"
Kim Stoppable steps forward and says, "She is right Sheila. Do you really want to blast your brothers? The ones they love?" She glances at Electra and hopes that Hego knows how lucky he is. She reaches out with a hand, palm up and says, "Come on now… we have Drew back and he told you himself that he is ok now. Just look at him."
Sheila's breathing slows down a bit as she forces herself to look at Drew. She could see that aside from his damaged clothing, he looked ok but she had sworn to protect her family long ago and it was just so… infuriating that she had failed. She had less to worry about with Jesse because he had the twins and his healing factor but her husband only had her as his protector and she loved him so much!
Electra says, "Let's go home Sheila, we'll put Warmonga and her friend back onto their spaceship and send them home. I doubt we will see them again."
Kim doubted that Warmonga wouldn't come back but she didn't want to say anything that would enrage Sheila any further.
Electra looks back at the others and notices her son staring past the Wegos and with a quick bolt of energy she zaps him on the ass, getting his attention. She finally sees what he'd been staring at as one of Warmonga's big breasts was fully exposed and she frowns at him while he squirms embarrassedly before her angry gaze.
Sheila says, "She will override when she wakes up and come back."
Electra shakes her head and says, "Not if I lock her out until she gets home."
Sheila grinds her teeth, as she hated what they were offering her until Edison, the son of Electra says, "Do you really have to do this I mean just think of how Jesse and Jamie will think of having to visit you in prison? I know they've always been very proud of you. Do you really want to hurt them like this? To be locked up and away from him?"
Sheila looks at where Edison points and sees her husband with his hand out and knew it was a lost cause as he says, "Let's go home. I'll give you a special treat if you just drop this."
Sheila yells suddenly and tosses the powerful ball of plasma down through the way Drew had come from and the whole base shudders violently as it explodes on something. She feels Drew's hand come to rest on her shoulder and leans into him as she hears him say, "I am proud of you." Just feeling relieved to feel his arms wrap around her so lovingly.
Kim and the others give Sheila a big group hug even as she has to admit that there was once upon a time where she would have blasted them all or probably blasted the people in a group hug for her.
Drew tilts his head and says into Sheila's ear, "We're going home now my little green angel."
Sheila smiles at that and turns her head to kiss Drew on the lips before feeling the group hug ending.
Everyone turns and starts to walk back down the way they'd come. Before they got too far, Sheila glances over her shoulder with a frown and fires a finger blast that writes "Touch any blue and die next time" next to Warmonga's head on the wall.
Electra whispers to Edison, "Just what do you think you were doing staring at her like that? Were you trying to embarrass me in front of your father's sister like that?
Edison says, "Sorry mom, that was my first naked boob and I couldn't help stare!"
Electra just sighs and whispers, "Well next time behave better, I raised you better than that."
Edison just nods and plays with small energy sparks from his finger and thumb behind his back all the way back to their craft.
AN: Well everyone, I hope you enjoyed this long chapter! A lot sure has happened hasn't it? The rescuers ended up being the ones needed rescue! Is that silly or what? What did you think of King Rat? Is he an evil jerk who needs a lesson taught or what? So what did you think of Cindy coming to Jesse's rescue? Did she kick butt or what? What did you think of all the punishment Jesse had to endure before Cindy was able to save him? What do you think of the way Jesse finally told Cindy that he loved her and how he saved her? Did you like the way Ron and Mindy caught them? Do you think Sheila's battle with Warmonga was good enough? Were you surprised that Drew defeated Daeduliusa? I bet you're wondering just how he pulled off that little trick. Did you think Sheila would have found a way around them to get to Warmonga? Maybe if Kim hadn't been there… what do you think? What did you think of Electronique being the wife of Hego? With a child named Edison who apparently has electric powers like his mother? (Though they are similar but not the same) Oh, and what did you think of the upgrade from "battlemate" to "war maiden" Sheila?
