Graduation part 2 – A different turn of events

Chapter 3

(a/n: In this chapter I will refer the older Ron as R.S to help eliminate confusion)

Sensei was still trying to figure out why the Lotus blade acted in such a manner as it should only have one master. Feeling very uncertain about the situation, he decided he would try to see if he could sense the chosen ones mystical energies when a startled cry from near the entrance of the school caught his attention, hoping it was somehow related the answer to the questions Sensei hurried there immediately.

Quickly approaching where he had heard the cry he saw that several people were just outside the school not moving an inch whatsoever as if they were frozen to the spot. Wanting to get to the bottom of this mystery quickly he asked the student who were already there.

"What's going on here? Why are they not moving?" Sensei asked the shocked student, weakly the student replied "I don't know Sensei they were going into town to see if they could some information on the chosen one current status when the second they left the school grounds, they just stopped moving all together".

Sensei thought to himself" this is a rare technique indeed the ability to freeze time and space expect for yourself and whoever you choose, the last time it was reported to have last used was when the founder of the school Toshimu used it, in order to reflect on his life and his past adventures, it was upon this reflection he decided to found this school,".

The young student look at Sensei hoping that could explain what was going on but was ignored as Sensei continued to think. "The whole world has frozen in time except for here at Yamanochi as this place was protected from such use of power and mostly likely where the chosen one is" As Sensei realized this he felt a smile on his face turning to the young student he said" don't worry they will be fine, but I can't answer any questions about this at the moment".

Ron looked at R.S and waited for him to speak the reason why he was afraid of using his power, after moments of silence R.S asked Ron "what's the most important thing to you at this point in time" Ron looked at him incredulously before he responded "dude you should know that better than anyone, you know it's Kim, she's the best thing that's ever happened to me and I love her".

R.S stood there with a satisfied look on his face as he said "and there in a way lays your problem" Ron looked at him confused as he thought "what's he on about there's no way Kim could be the problem" not understanding what he meant Ron asked him to clarify his answer.

R.S thought for a moment before asking "how many times have you used your monkey powers around Kim?" Ron took a moment to think but he couldn't think of a time he had, "I don't think I ever have, but when have I used my powers to begin with?" Ron asked.

Chuckling slighting R.S answered "how about the time you spent the week at Yamanochi, you managed to defeat Fukushima and used your power to make sure he wouldn't get up by surrounding him by icicles, or how about you defeated all those monkey ninjas while Hana was on your back, you used your power subconsciously in order to use monkey kung-fu, do you remember?".

Ron thought for a moment as he remembered these events "I remember those times but how does that answer my question?" R.S replied "when you used your powers, was Kim near you at the time?, no she wasn't, she certainly wasn't at Yamanochi and she and Yori only arrived when you had already defeated the monkey ninjas".

"I suppose you're right I guess" Ron admitted sheepishly," but what can I do about it now I still can't use my powers and now I'm going to lose her"

R.S again thought to himself for a moment" now we're getting somewhere, but we aren't at the heart of the problem just yet" before saying "your love for Kim is kind of a doubled bladed sword in a sense, you get happiness, inner strength, bravery and all that, however it because of this love you have fear I don't know if you realize what exactly this fear is yet, but you will.

"You know you sound a bit like Sensei cryptic as always when to comes to advice" Ron joked, R.S laughed and replied "it's because the advice that is given isn't always supposed to be just present a answer or solution immediately, it takes reflection and insight to gather the meaning from it" as he heard this Ron started to try figure what was holding him back from using his powers, still he got nothing.

Suddenly Ron came to the conclusion "I'm afraid I'll lose Kim's friendship and love " he said quietly more to himself then to R.S, Ron also realized the irony of this situation as can't use his powers for fear of losing Kim, but if he doesn't he lose her anyway. R.S smiled as he realized that Ron was close to the truth "just a little bit more and we will have cleared all the doubt from him"

Ron felt he was close, it was like he could sense his power but he couldn't quite grasp just yet. He started to think "maybe if I can find the source of what created the avoidance of using my powers I will be able to tap into them and save Kim's life, and will what happens after" upon completing this thought he resolved to unlock his powers no matter what.

R.S suddenly asked him "who is the villain that always goes around looking for some kind of monkey prophecy, monkey statue, monkey amulet, you get the picture" Ron answered the question as if was the most well known thing on earth" well Duh it's Monkeyfist" R.S just laughed.

"Exactly, he's crazy when it comes to that sort of thing and here lies the final part of your fear which holds you back" R.S said still smiling from Ron's previous remark. Ron was starting to get annoyed with the cryptic message and in frustration asked R.S "if you know what the problem is why not just tell me what the solution is already" he didn't care solving whatever issues he had with himself he just wanted to help Kim.

R.S looked at him sternly and replied "sometimes it's easier to fix the problem when you realize what the solution is yourself; you can't always expect an answer to appear right in front of you it's not that simple" softening his expression slightly he added "I understand why you want answers now but if I just gave them to you they wouldn't be as helpful, this is your chance to rid yourself of your fears once and for all and be able to use your monkey powers at will".

Ron looked at the ground as he tried to figure out what the final piece of the puzzle was; he knew he had to figure it out for himself in order to pass this final obstacle. "It has something to doing with Monkeyfist but what could it be and how did it influence his fear of losing Kim"

He had seen Monkeyfist do some crazy things over the years, take over the Middleton space station, try to turn Kim into a monkey, Ron shuddered at that thought. But what was it all for, Ron knew the answer it was about Mystical Monkey Power and to become the ultimate monkey master. It was completely crazy as far as he was concerned; anything to do with monkeys was usually a bad thing.

He knew that Kim knew all about his insane desire to become the ultimate monkey master and rule the world with his legion of monkeys, he stopped at nothing to try and achieve his goals which eventually culminated in him taking on the power of the Yono and eventually being set in stone.

The fog was starting to clear in his head as he kept putting these facts together until he had all but figure exactly how they were all connected, Kim, his powers and Monkeyfist until he figured it out. "He was afraid of losing Kim if he starting to use his monkey powers because of the amount of determination and effort Monkeyfist put into them, it could scare her and eventually he'd lose her friendship and love".

As this thought pass through Ron's head he thought" Do I have such a low opinion of my relationship with Kim, Kim always been there for me especially when I needed it, even when I have messed up she's always been there" his resolve beginning to grow and he felt he could almost touch his powers and he asked himself "do I trust her?, do I believe in her?, do I have faith in our relationship?" it took him but a moment to figure out the answer to these questions.

"Yes I do and now I won't let fear stop me from using my powers and I will save Kim" as he thought this Ron felt the power in his grasp, he had now freed himself from the doubt in his mind and that enabled him to use his powers.

At that moment Sensei felt a powerful sensation unlike what he had ever felt before" it appears that the chosen one has embraced his powers and now unlocked his full potential". Deciding to see if he could contact him and congratulate the young man he was shocked to discover, that there two Ron Stoppables.

Sensei was dumbfounded, how could there be two different Ron Stoppables. One felt a little bit different to Sensei however as he seemed older, wiser, wondering how this could be he saw the Lotus blade and realized this second Ron Stoppable was here because of the Lotus blade. Which also explained the swords actions as it was confused which Ron Stoppable to serve because to the sword they are both the current master of the Lotus blade.

The Lotus blade had called this second Ron Stoppable here to help the sword unlock the Mystical Monkey Power that had lain dormant in the Ron Stoppable he came to know. However despite the Lotus blade summoning the second Ron it could not tell the difference between the two and was torn between helping it's master that was in trouble and not reacting as its master was not in any danger as well, although somehow it figured out which was the right Ron in time.

Ron stood there amazing on how powerful he had felt the Mystical Monkey Power with him now, before this moment he had felt it slightly but it never brought anything sort of comfort or confidence. Now however while feeling the power throughout his body he felt more confident and ready for anything than he had before.

R.S had felt the change within Ron due to his own Mystical Monkey Powers and smiled as he said "it looks like you are able to use your powers now, feels like a weight has been lifted of your shoulders right?"

"Yeah thanks for helping me, I real ready to save Kim and still keep my promise of watching her back, and I guess you were right I needed to figure out on my own what was holding me back, now that I have Warhok and Warmonga better watch out.

Kim had now walked up beside R.S and said "I knew you could do it Ron; now show them what happens when you mess with Team Possible".

Ron felt ready to ensure the safety of the one he loved and was going to do anything he could do make sure she stayed safe. As time seemed to unfreeze again Ron could hear Warhok and Warmonga laughter he shouted at them "Hey you two,let Kim go and leave this planet alone or else" as he approached the pair.

As Ron was walking up to the Lowardians Kim had turned to R.S and asked "R.S do you know how we got here anyway?" R.S looked at her and said "Yes the Lotus blade brought us here as it thought we be best to help it unlock his powers"

"But why did it bring me first instead of you, you would have been the best person to get to help him, I mean you were the one that helped him not me. R.S thought for a moment before answering "The lotus blade brought you here first because it was worried that if it brought me here, it would lose track of who the correct master of the sword is. Because to the sword we are the same person as it tells its master apart from their Mystical Monkey Power.

Kim realized what this meant "so by bring you here it could mix up who was who and if it thought it was you the sword would stop acting as it doing this to help Ron over there in his time of need as you aren't in danger" Kim said, she had learned about the Lotus blade from Ron whenever he learned something about it.

"Yeah that's right K.P; however I was able to get the Lotus blade to recognize who was the real master so we were able to help him unlock his power, just in time to by the looks of it" R.S said. While R.S and Kim were having their conversation about the Lotus blade, Ron was challenging the Lowardians to a fight.

When they heard Ron call out to them the pair turned around and looked at Ron and started to laugh mockingly at him before Warhok asked "or else what? You going to fight us you pathetic little child" before Warmonga added "You're not worth the time to destroy anyway".

"Really is that so, because if that is so you're got a shock coming to you because I'm ready to fight you properly now". Both Warhok and Warmonga noticed that Ron looked more confident, all sense of defeat was gone from him replaced by confidence.

Warhok was about to dismiss this challenge as he didn't see the point, this would be too easy it would be pointless, just as he was going to say this Warmonga smiled and said "we accept, we just crush you quickly and get going" Warhok looked at her confused and asked "why are you bothering with this so called challenge?, you get no honor from it.

Warmonga looked at him and said "you should know Warhok; Lowardians never turn down a challenge even little pathetic ones like this one, to walk away from this challenge we will lose honor" Warhok agreed with this reasoning and said " Ok boy you're got your challenge which one of use do you want to face off against first. Ron adopted a fighting stance before replying "It doesn't matter because I challenge the both of you "

Warhok and Warmonga both looked at each other before smiling and Warhok said" saying if that's what you want, you don't stand a chance against us" and with that Warhok tossed Kim, which he was still holding up by own leg to the side and he and Warmonga adopted fight stances of their own.

Kim looked at R.S and said "well I guess we have done our part, guess there's nothing to do but to go back where we belong" R.S nodded and with that a bright light surrounded them and in a flash they were gone.

Ok so now Ron finally unlocked his Mystical Monkey Power and is now ready to do battle with the Lowardian pair, the time for talking is over and now it time for action.
