Well sorry for the wait on this one. I just never got around to this idea for a while and it didn't help with myself having to work two job. but I am slowly getting to work on my older stories when I have the chance as well as my newer stories and ideas. But for now the cast will get to see the future, Xmki herself and of the horrors she brings onto the future. So I'll stop boring you all and get this story started.
Disclaimer; I do not know Kim Possible; the bits uses from Samurai Jack (which is getting a reboot which is awesome!) or even the story itself. Samurai Ron-The Wrath of Xmki belongs (sorta) to blackheart0009 and all OC and plot points are his alone. Hope you enjoy this very much blackheart.
Reading Samurai Ron-The Wrath of Xmki
Wade got the next episode started and the first thing they saw was a black screen and white bold words.
(Last time)
"Well looks like we get a small recap," Monique said still slightly annoyed the last episode was a cliffhanger.
Ron frowned, "Is it really needed? I mean it was just one episode ago."
"Oh relax Ron," Kim said rolling her eyes, "It won't be that bad."
The screen flashed as the scene played out before it flashed again to a different scene.
*Aku Towering over the valley* "FREEEEEDOMMMM! AHH HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" The laugh echoed around the valley making it seem even more menacing "At long last, I Aku the Shogun of Sorrow am free to smite the world as I did in ages past."
Master Sensei gasped as he came out of his vision. "No, he is free!"
*Yori standing before Ron* "Stoppable-san, I am here under orders of Master Sensei to give you this, and to tell you that Yamanouchi may have fallen to a great evil."
"This samurai was Toshimiru, the founder of Tai-Shing-Pek-Kwar and the Yamanouchi School of ninjutsu."
Tara sighed, "I still can't believe that is a real ninja school."
Ron groaned at his slip up and hoped that Yori and Master Sensei would forgive him.
"He was also the one who first defeated Aku with the Lotus Blade. He was also known as Samurai Jack, though I have no idea why."
*Aku towers over Ron* "You? You are the one destine to defeat me?" his shock face became a smirk "Bah! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! You are but a child. Our fight will be short indeed.
"He's in for a surprise," Kim muttered with a small smirk. She always enjoyed seeing villains' reaction to how helpful Ron can be when no one else has faith in him.
"Gahhhhhhhhhh!" Aku screamed before Ron shot out having sliced right through him.
"It's over," Ron muttered as he raised his sword.
"Not yet," Aku muttered before he struck.
Aku then open his mouth and let out a screech as several rings shot out.
*Ron Yori and Joss gets sucked into the portal. Aku laughed as Kim powered up and jump at Aku.
The screen revealed the title while Wade said, "Well short, quick and gets the main points across."
"I'm okay with it," Ron admitted. "So what's this episode?"
"It's called The Future and Xmki" Wade replied.
Kim raised a brow at the title and figure out what Aku did at once but now she was interested in the reveal of this Xmki. The screen came to life in flashes of black and white from the spell or portal Aku made.
All three of them screamed as they were sent through the tunnel. Their voices seemed to echo and everything they saw, which was just each other, was in flashing black and white lights. They were only there for a few minutes before they were dropped out of the sky. They barely had a few seconds to see some crazy skyscrapers being finding themselves in the middle of traffic with flying cars.
Kim winced seeing the three's predicament. Even she would admit that would shock her coming out and falling into the air with flying cars speeding around her.
Joss screamed out loud as a car nearly hit her. Yori, who was closest, grabbed her before they landed feet first on the roof of a car before jumping to the next one. Ron landed on the hood of another flying car with a thud. Rufus groaned inside the safety of his pocket. One car behind them pulled guns out of its front bumper and started to fire on the one Ron landed on.
"Oh c'mon!" Ron cried, "Why are they shooting at me?"
"No idea," Tara admitted, "Never really thought of why that happen."
Ron saw this and was forced to duck from the rapid fire. He heard the sound of bullets hitting the car and knew he had to stop the attacker. He held the lotus blade and it became another large shuriken. With a toss the spinning blade flew through the air.
The lotus blade cuts through the front end breaking the guns before it goes and cut the back end as well. The car was now speeding downward out of control and crashed.
"Boo-yeah!" Ron cried.
"Nice work Ron," Kim said before she frowned, 'I wonder if that driver manages to get out through.'
Ron caught the lotus as it became normal before he jumped to another car. Joss and Yori sees him so Joss pulled her grappling hook. Unlike her first homemade one this one was like Kim's as a birthday gift from Wade. The pair swung down with Ron before they landed in some lane-like pit filled with scarp cars and other metals.
Kim thought it over and she can see herself having Wade make one for her cousin…once she matures a bit more and gotten some more skills.
Ron smiled seeing everyone was alright. But they were not out of danger as the trench started to shake. They turned to see what was causing the problem. Up ahead was a large a truck with even large metal wheels with sharp spike like teeth sticking out. It was crushing the cars in the way and it was heading right for them.
"Man, you three are having some bad luck," Monique pointed out.
Ron sighed, "Story of my life half the time."
Joss grinned and held her grappling hook. The older teens held onto her as the girl fired the hook and pulled then out as the truck rolled by. When they landed on the side walk like area they notice three street kids; at least they thought they were street kids, wearing the strangest outfits of purple, blue and green with matching skin tones looking at them and then they started cheering. They seem to have watched their little stunt from the very beginning. The street kids then started talking animatedly about the events they scene.
Monique, the biggest fashion lover of the group, stared wide eyed in horror, "WTH? WIT? WATW!?"
"Huh?" Crystal asked confused and she was not the only one.
Kim ticked off her fingers as she translated, "What the hell, what is this and what are they wearing."
"No idea but the green one has a lava lamp for a hat," Ron pointed out before he had a thoughtful look, "Hey do you think?"
"No," Kim and Monique shot down without hesitation.
Ron pouts, "But it looks so cool."
"No," the two girls repeated.
"That was so awesome. The girl was 'whoa!' falling between all the cars before the other one saved her." The purple one said.
"Oh yeah and they started jumping from car to car like it was simple trick on the hover board. Too easy." The blue one added.
"Yeah yeah, and that car got the guns out the Blondie went all old school ninja skill with the star up and sent the thing to the ground. Boom!" the green one said, which looked the weirdest with a large hat that went over his eyes that held a lava lamp on top.
"And then they landed all nice and easy, all cool like being all 'No sweat yo'." The purple kid said and went into a pose at the end with his arms crossed across his chest.
"A-and they were in the pit and got all in the crushers face and got out, that was off the chain yo!" the three went on all laughing at the show they were given.
"Well not sure what to say about the future's slangs."
"The writers are just trying too hard." Hope said with a shrug not really caring about the teens' slang.
Yori and Joss were all confused not understanding a word they were saying.
"Uh, excuse me?" Ron said and the teens stopped talking for a few minutes to listen. "Thanks, do you know where we are?"
The kids laughed somewhat at Ron's question. "My friends, you are at is the center of sector d spaceport. The lowest worst lived area of the whole city." the purple skin teens answered.
"That would explain how bad this place looks," Monique mutters.
The three look at each other, still having no idea where they were "Okay thanks but that does not really help us. Is there any way we can get in contact with whoever is your leader?" Ron asked, but instead of answering the teens laughed for a bit.
"Girl, you don't see Xmki. Xmki sees you." One said and motioned to a screen that was playing a video.
"Xm-ki?" Ron asked slowly saying the name out before the three up at the screen. It was some sort of advertisement which held a strange figure.
"So we get to see the bad girl for the first time," Monique said crossing her arms having not seen what Xmki looked like unlike Kim and Ron, "Let's see how bad she looks."
At first Ron thought it was Aku but then saw that the figure was no doubt female from one swim suit ad. Her skin was literally black like Aku's but her face was a pale white making it look almost like a mask or face of a doll. Her hair was a long flowing orangish red that reached the small of her back. Through her hair were four squarish horns not unlike the ones Aku had. And on top of her eyes was fire, reached and flowing behind her even when the woman was not moving. Her hands were not claws like Aku's but simple round human looking with pink fingernails where a nail would be on a human hand. While she looked beautiful she still had an air of power around her. They looked around and saw more screens with different advertisements all with the same woman in them.
"Okay I can see how she might be related to Aku," Monique admitted.
"They are too similar to be a coincidence," Kim added. "So we know nothing about her?"
Tara opens her mouth but Hope covered it before she could say anything, "Just theories and small facts the show gives. It's better to just see for yourself."
The street kids nodded "Yeah that's right. The Deliverer of Darkness"
"The Master of Masters,"
"The Mistress of Sorrow"
"All interesting nicknames," Ron admitted, "Some that one of our villains might have picked."
"Maybe Drakken or Senor Senior Senior," Kim said "Maybe Monkey Fist if one of them involved monkey."
Ron shivered, "She would be a lot worst if her had monkey minions."
"How can this be?" Yori asked looking at the woman and knew she looked too much like Aku for her liking, "Why does she look like Aku?"
"Aku? Never heard of him." The purple kid answered, "But she's always been the charge."
The three teens started to ponder and wonder where they were. Ron started to sweat trying to figure out where they are and what was going on. Rufus squeaked in concern as his buddy's actions.
"You okay? You don't look so good." One of the kids said looking at Ron.
"Yeah, I'm just a little tweaked. Do you know where the nearest Bueno Nachos we can rest for a bit?"
Kim was about to tell Ron she doubted that Bueno Nachos was still around but felt it might be kinda harsh.
"Never heard of any Bueno Nachos but right over there will hook you up nice." The green kid said motioning to a door with three slots.
"Well that's odd," Ron said, "Why wouldn't they heard of Bueno Nachos?"
Kim and Monique shared a look but wordlessly agreed to say nothing.
"Thanks." Ron said as they walked to the door and knocked.
"What do you want?" The doorman asked as three sets of eyes opened to see the ones who knocked.
"Rude much," Monique muttered.
"We were told that we could refresh ourselves here." Yori said politely but the doorman was confused.
"Wha-"
"They just want a drink man!" One of the kids that showed them the door answered.
"A drink? Why didn't you just say so?" The door then opened to loud music and dancers as the three teens went in. Once inside they came upon a scene they did not expect.
Kim, Ron, Wade and Monique stared as the screen shows the large bar. It looked straight out of a movie with the different aliens about and the bar itself.
The bar was filled with loud beating music. Several dancers were inside pods dancing around as strange alien beings watch. They saw a strange octopus like alien serve several drinks at once. Joss noticed at one table a bluish green alien with a long mouth and pouty lips was pointing a gun at a human looking man. The man however shot the alien under the table with a laser bolt from his gun. The alien fired as well but it missed the guy's head. Joss was impress that the man didn't even flinch as the blot nearly missed him before the alien flopped dead on the table and the gun clattered to the floor. Joss gulped seeing the murder before her eyes and the fact no one even looked up during this whole scene. As the man walked out of the bar she noticed the others were still walking so she went to catch up.
Ron raised a brow, "Anyone have a Star Wars vibe to that scene?"
"I did," Kim admitted.
"A lot of fans did," Hope pointed out "I think it was intended."
"SWIK," Monique said (Star Wars is King) "A lot of shows and movies have small pieces that pay tribute. MSTM."
"Seeing the other girls' confused looked Kim said, "Makes sense to me."
Ron stopped in front of a table looking at one scary looking alien. He looked like a cross between a frog and a slug. Green with brown spots, his yellow eyes glared at Ron. "And what are you looking at?" he asked before he backhanded Ron to the floor.
Ron slightly jumped t this while Kim narrowed her eyes at this.
The alien stood up and start to make toward Ron. Yori got between them and bowed to the alien. "Please forgive my friend, we did not mean to be rude."
"No human, it is not that easy," the alien muttered as he stood several head tall then Yori. He reached behind him and pulled something off his back.
All three teens recognized that this alien wanted to fight so Yori tried to end this peacefully. "Please forgive us, we do not wish to hurt you."
The alien laughed, "It is not me who will get hurt, human." He said this last word as if she was lower than scum.
"Sounds like human are a minority," Kim observed.
"We've seen a wide virility of character and races in the series," Liz explained, "And while we see plenty if human characters beside the main one, none we've seen so far has any position of power."
Rufus was the first to notice what the alien pulled out. The strange device the alien pulled that held a blade at the end. He squeaked in warning as the alien swung at them. He swung down but was shocked that he missed. Yori had jumped back while Ron had jumped up over the alien and pulled his sword free. He swung down to cut the weapon off to end the fight but the alien moved. He screamed as his hand was removed instead.
"Whoa!" Ron cried out shocked at that his character did. "I didn't mean to do that!"
"It's fine Ron," Kim reassured him. "You were aiming for the weapon and cut off the hand by mistake."
"Speaking of which," Wade started getting their attention again. "Check out the hand."
Ron looked in horror at what he had done, as he never did anything like that to anyone before but then saw the hand sparked with wiring jutting out of the wound.
"A cyborg?" he muttered seeing the robot hand but the fleshy head.
Everybody looked up staring at what they just saw. Several more alien like the first stood up and pulled out their weapons. Ron got into a stance with the lotus blade ready while Yori drew her short blade. Joss was into her stance as Kim taught her a bit but looked worried.
"Way to go Ron," Monique said with a small smirk, "You started a bar fight. Just like Pain King and Steel Toe."
Ron beamed being compared to his favorite wrestlers.
While all of this was happening, inside one of the pods a group of three dogs were talking with a well-armed lizard like alien while having drinks.
"I say old chap; will you do it?" One of the dogs asked, a blue fur wiener dog wearing an explorer's hat, a red bow tie and a monocle.
The new viewers blinked at this. "Talking dogs? Okay that's new" Kim admitted.
"Better than monkeys," Ron said happy about that.
Rufus muttered annoyed since he was the talking animal of the group.
But the alien took a final swig of his drink he grabbed the blue dog, pulled him up into the alien's face before he said something in an alien language and left the pod.
"What did he say? Will he do it?" The first dog asked as a smaller black Scott's terrier who also has the same type of hat and a pipe.
"I don't think so," Monique said shaking her head.
"No, he says you're out of your mind you blasted idiot. Who would want to go against Xmki?" The terrier said with a hint of a Scottish accent.
"What's this?" Kim asked aloud with a raised brow.
"What do we do know? We've asked just about everyone here." Said a large hound dog wearing a tie and hat as well but with a sad look on his face. The blue dog then noticed Ron and the others fighting the aliens outside their pod.
"I say, what about them?" the blue one asked gesturing to Ron's group.
"The lad and lassies about to get their bums disintegrated?" the terrier asked not really interested.
Kim smirked knowing the dogs will be in for a surprise.
"Ooh, I can't watch." The hound said before covering his eyes.
"Oh yes, I like them." The small dog said looking at the fight that was taking place in front of them.
"GTK," Monique muttered, keeping an eye on her friends as the screen got close to the fighting again. (Good To Know)
One alien charged and Ron jumped up and kicked the surprised alien in the face, which knocked him over. He then used his blade to block another one. He then pushed the blades back and attacked. They too lost their robot arms and weapons. Ron was force to duck under another attack but he came up and cut the attacker in half. Ron was stunned at what he just did but forces those feeling down as he was attacked again.
Ron, Kim and Monique went wide eyed seeing Ron cut an alien in half. They knew this was fake and it was an alien but still Ron did something he wouldn't normally do. To see himself/your best friend cut down a person was not easy to register.
Yori was focused on her battle as she threw several throwing star into the neck of one of her opponents. She had faced death before and knew when to push it down. She bent backwards to avoid another attack, then she kicks his weapon sending it right at his head. The alien went wide eyed when his weapon cut into his neck. Yori had no time to think as she blocked the blade of another before she pushed him back and stabbed at him.
Ron winced her. He knew Yori was skilled, heck he was the only person he knew that could easily go toe to toe with Kim and Shego, but it was still scary seeing her act like a ninja and take the alien down for good.
Ron turned the Lotus Blade into a shield to block an attack from the front and pushed him back. He then jumped over another alien trying to attack him from behind. He turned his weapon back into a blade and beheaded both aliens.
Joss was trying to fight but these alien were a lot bigger than her and she was forced to keep avoiding the blades. She was smacked aside from a back hand of an alien and she slid underneath a table.
Kim narrowed her eyes and didn't notice she was growling slightly. She knew this was fake and yet she hated seeing her younger cousin being not only attacked but treated like this.
Joss growled in anger when she placed a hand down to pick herself up she felt something. She looked down to see the object was a gun. The very same gun the alien dropped when he was shot. She picked it up staring at the strangely light weight gun before the table was ripped up and the alien appeared above her. The alien growled out and held the blade up, ready to finish Joss, "Die Human!" it shouted.
To Kim the next scene was as if it was slow motion. Her eyes slowly went wide and her mouth slowly opens into a silent gasp. She knew what was going to happen next before it even showed the scene but she did not want to believe it.
Joss did not know what happen, she just reacted. The hand moving the gun moved and she fired three times. All three blots flew and struck the alien in the chest. He stood there stunned before he keeled over backwards and fell dead. She felt a little sick, hand held over her mouth, at what she had done. She gasped trying to keep her lunch down before she noticed one alien charging at Ron from behind. She went wide eyed before she brought the gun up and fired again. The blot hit the alien in the back of the head and he fell dead.
Ron was now also gapping while Rufus fainted. They never thought Joss would ever do something like that. Kim had to force tears from forming in her eyes seeing her younger cousin kill someone with a gun. She had to repeat in her head that this wasn't real.
And with that the fight was over. Joss stood there holding the gun before she dropped it. As one both she and Ron went to their knees and threw up. The horror at what they had done coming back with vengeance. Yori knelt down beside Ron and rubbed his back to help him.
Kim let out a breath of relief. She never had to go through that but she knew that if Ron and Joss were reacting like this then it was a good thing for them. She wasn't even sure if she could have done the same thing. Next to her Ron was sitting still trying to process it all.
The dogs were amazed thought out the whole fight, "By jove they're good." The small blue dog said "They're perfect!"
"Aye but they'll never do it," exclaim the small black one.
"Do what?" Ron asked shaking his head to get his thoughts back together.
"I'm sure we'll find out," Jessica said before Tara could open her mouth.
"Oh we'll see about that, I'll go and invite them to join us," said the small blue dog, whom seemed to be the leader.
"Be careful Rothchild" the hound dog said as the blue dog went toward them.
The dog arrived as they recover from their sickness and manage to get to their feet. "Oh, excuse me." The small blue dog said causing the three to look around wondering where the voice came from. "I say, down here old fellow." The group looked down to see a small blue dog talking.
Yori stared before she reacted at once "Talking demon dog!" she shouted as she readied her weapon.
Kim giggled at this, "What a reaction."
"Can't blame her though," Crystal said, "Not everyone has seen the things you two have."
"True," Ron admitted, "And Yori didn't know much of modern trends and things anyways."
"Good heavens where!"
"Whoa Yori! I don't think it's a demon." Ron said stopping Yori's attack noticing that the dog was scared when Yori said the word 'demon'.
"Oh, you meant me. I can assure you miss that I am by no means a demon."
"You can talk." Joss said as she looked at him.
Rufus, who had recovered, narrowed his eyes and muttered disgruntle.
"But of course," he said, noticing their stares he added. "I take it you're not from around here. Why not join me and my friends for some refreshments and I will explain everything." the blue dog said leading the group to the pod that had his group.
They moved around to make room for everyone and the dogs ordered some drinks from an alien waitress with three eyes. They waited for the drinks for a while in an uncomfortable silence. Ron looked from dog to dog wonder what was going on. The hound offered a small smile, which he returned. Rufus stood on the table between everyone as he looked at dogs. The blue one leaned down and sniffed the interesting creature. Rufus muttered as he was sniffed.
The real Rufus reacted pretty much the same way even if he wasn't getting the same treatment.
The pod then opened up and the waitress was back with a tray of drinks. "Your refreshments are here."
"Splendid," the wiener dog said as the waitress places the drinks down.
Ron, Joss and Yori looked at the strange drinks not sure how to drink them, or what they were, while the three dogs were lapping the drinks up vigorously like a normal would from a water bowl. It was a little strange to them.
The blue dog then looked up. "My friends, I do apologize. How rude of us. We haven't introduced ourselves." he said before going to the large dog. "This is Sir Dreyfuss Alexander, chief of excavation. Er, Dreyfuss old boy, you're drooling again." The leader said noticing the drool.
"Oh, sorry." The newly named Dreyfuss said as he shook his head and the drool went all over the place, much to the girls' disgusted.
Monique gagged, "That's nasty."
"You blasted idiot! You're getting everyone wet!" the small black dog scolded Dreyfuss.
"And this fine gentleman is Angus McDuffy, artifact aficionado. And I am sir Colin Bartholomew Montgomery Rothchild III, or Rothy for short." Rothy said with a small giggle fit after his name.
"Seem friendly enough," Kim muttered now having a name for the dogs.
"You see," started Rothy, "We are archeologist trying to discover the secret to our past. Only a short time ago did we discovered that our ancestors walk on both our arm and our legs." he said in a tone that shows how proud they were of this discovery.
"So?" Monique asked not seeing the point.
"It must mean a big deal to them," Kim suggested, "from the sound of it most if not all dogs are like them. To find out they least advance must be mind changing."
Wade also added his two cents. "Considering what we found out about the first humans I can understand that seeing as far we have come from simple Neanderthals."
"We could have told you that," muttered Joss not wanting to offend them.
"This is all very strange," muttered Yori, though everyone could hear her, "Cars that fly, strange creatures and now dogs that talk in human tongue."
"What do you mean? Asked all the dogs at once.
Yori realized what she said and said quickly trying to no offend their new friends like before, "I mean no disrespect, back home dogs were faithful companions but the dogs we all knew just, umm, barked."
The dogs looked at them before they started to talk excitedly. "Did you hear that?! The ancient myths are true!" Stated Rothy.
"I see your point KP," Ron added finally seeing it.
"But how would they know? They'd have to be thousands of years old!" asked Angus.
Rothy thought about it before he pulled out some kind of scanner that was attached to his noise and pointed it at Ron, who was closest, and started to sniff him. The humans and naked mole rat all stared as Rothy looked at the scanner and exclaimed, "My word, I do believe you two (points to Yori and Ron) born roughly sixteen B.X. sixteen years before Xmki enslaved the earth. The younger one is about thirteen years and the interesting little creature is even less than that." the humans all went wide eyed at this. "You my friends are living fossils."
"Whoa," Monique muttered aloud but even Kim and Ron were surprised at this. Kim, while having an idea that could have been the case frowned hearing something else, "Okay B.X? someone really has an ego."
"She can be a bit of a ham at times," Crystal admitted, "but she does control the world so it is expected."
"She has a point KP," Ron pointed out, "If Drakken, Shego or any of our other villains ruled the rules you know they would do the same."
"True," Kim admitted with a sigh.
They all sat stunned; they were not sent to another world, which they first thought, but who know how many years into the future. "It's not where we are, but when we are." Ron stated what they all knew. "Aku must have made that portal from before to rip us from our own time and sent us into the distance future." Rufus moaned scared about his friend and the one that was left behind.
"But how?" Joss asked "And what happen to the demon anyways? Where did this Xmki fellow come from then?
"That's one question I'd like to know," Ron muttered.
"I don't know but I'm sure we shall find the answer," Yori added all confused with this whole thing.
"I do believe so, but let us get to why we call you here." Stated Rothy.
The group looked at the dogs wonder what they needed from them. "We dogs live a nomadic life digging up the remains of ancient civilizations to uncover the mysteries of our past, but recently something we found something that derailed our expedition." Rothy said.
"We had discovered a vein of rare jewels one day, but we weren't interested in them." Dreyfuss stated.
"But Xmki is. It seems that they are a source of power for her." Angus said looking at them
"of course they are," Kim muttered rolling her eyes.
"So she enslaved us and bound us to her mines to forever dig up these gems. This is why we need you three." Rothy said as he looked at the three with hope in his eyes.
"What can we do?" Joss asked wondering if this is what Kim felt like when asked for a mission.
"It does sound like something you two would do," Monique pointed out.
"We have received a few missions similar to this," Wade admitted, "Though the times we did we had to make sure we were within the lines of the law and how we can react to it."
Kim nodded happy she was able to help people though she knew there were other times when she is unable to do so.
"I believe with your skills, you can free us from Xmki's enslavement so that we can escape in secret and continue out nomadic lifestyle of searching for answers to our mysteries past." Rothy answered as they thought about it for a bit.
They all were quiet before they looked at one another. This was different then Kim's mission back home, the villainess ruled the world and they had nowhere to go or no one to turn to. Ron closed his eyes. He felt like he failed. Who knows what happen to their families because they were in the future. His thoughts went to Kim who was left behind. Did she make it out of the fight with Aku? Was her family out their somewhere? Was his?
Ron frowned as these questions came up in his head as well. Would he be even able to handle this without Kim taking the lead? As if sensing his doubt Kim grabbed his hand. Ron looked at her and she gave him a comforting smile. Ron smiled back knowing it would be okay and he knew that the Kim in the show had faith in her best friend.
But one thing was for certain, these dogs needed his help and he would not let them down. Ron opens his eyes, "I will help you."
Yori and Joss smiled knowing that they had his back. Rufus cheered ready as he jumped into his pocket.
"Splendid," Rothy said as they exited the pod. "We can take our rocket car."
"Rocket car?" Question Yori wondering that was.
"Make sense if it is the future," Wade said interesting in seeing a close up look at one of the rockets.
As they walked Rothy then stopped, "Hold on a minute!" he said.
"WWN?" Monique asked afraid something else has happen. (What's Wrong Now)
"What's wrong?" Angus asked.
"Forgive me but I do believe you haven't told us your names." Rothy said.
Kim shook her head, smiling fondly while Ron chuckled and rubbing the back of his head.
Ron blushed at this mistake before they introduced themselves. "I'm Ron Stoppable and this is Rufus,"
"Hi!"
"Boo-yea!" the real Rufus called out seeing himself introduced properly.
"Joss possible," Joss stated proudly.
Yori bowed to them, "Greeting, my name is Yori."
"Oh very lovely names," Rothy said as they started off again and left the bar. "Fair, short and easy to remember. Well let's get going then."
On their way out Joss grabbed the rest of the dead alien's guns and gear. She figures she would need them.
Kim sighed sad at the fact her cousin was force to take the gear off a dead alien but she figured she had no choice.
Unknown to the group the waitress with the three eyes heard every single word. She watched them leave before she turned to the bar man and said, "I'm taking my break."
The waitress put on a black robe with a hood and went outside before walking a far ways and into a teleport pod. In a flash of lighting she was gone.
"That can't be good," Wade said to which Ron and Kim nodded also getting a feeling.
She appeared again in front of an evil and scary looking castle that would give Goths nightmares. As she entered she found herself in the back of a crowd gather on a lead of a narrow cliff overlooking a pit. The walls seem to look like they were on fire and you could see nothing but darkness below. The crowd was some kind of sea creatures as their suit they were wearing had helmets and held water.
"Oh, great Xmki, please allow us refuge in your waters. Our oceans are all dried up and we have nowhere to go." Said the leader when was kneeling in front.
Kim frowned at this. To have their home gone and desperate enough to beg a demon for help. It was something she could not comprehend.
Nothing happen then something shot up from the darkness below.
Kim's, Monique's and Ron's eyes went wide as the dark shadow shot up, able to see it on the leader's helmet. It was something and the shadow alone showed how big the villain was.
The leader's eyes shot up in fear as Xmki formed, towering above them with wearing silk kimono like robe. Xmki looked down at them and said softly but in a still powerful voice and tone. "I know the fate of your world. For I was the one who took you oceans away."
"Huh," Monique said tilting her head, "I didn't expect the soft voice. I expected a loud booming voice even if it is from a female."
"I guess," Ron said, "it would feel strange hearing it from a figure like that though.
Kim however frowned, knowing that Xmki is not only the cause of their pain and loss of home but now taunted them even if they were begging for her help when she was the one at fault.
This caused a young alien to move forward. "You monster!" he shouted pointing at Xmki in anger.
"Silence fool!" commanded the leader before he turned to Xmki, "Forgive the boy milord, he is young and foolish."
Ron and Kim winced knowing that the boy would not be forgiven.
Xmki scowled before she shot yellow beams of death from her eyes at the boy making him vanished, causing the leader to fall to his knees in sorrow.
"Whoa!" Ron cried jumping from this sudden move. Kim stared stunned while Monique had jumped like Ron did. Rufus squeaked in fear and dove for cover in his pocket.
"The boy will return. He will learn proper respect for Xmki, and no greater teacher then the pit of hate. "
"Yes my lord. Your wisdom is unquestionable." The leader said on his knees with his hands in front clasped together.
Xmki stood tall before she addressed the crowd, "I will allow you a home in my oceans, but you must pay homage to me. Once a month a new monument will rise up from the ocean, too remind the world who is its master." Xmki said this last part with narrowed eyes before she shouted "NOW BEGONE!"
Kim growled, even if she was fake she was really hating this villain. In retrospect that means the creator did a good job with the villain. "Okay I am glad we never had a villain like her," Ron admitted.
"Amen boy, amen," Monique agreed even if she wasn't even the one to face the villains with them. Between ruling the world, forcing that alien race to serve under her after destroying their home, and sending one of them to a place that was hell in all but the name, this Xmki was a hell of a villain. And yet as a villain on TV she was enjoying the performance.
The crowd left leaving only the waitress. The waitress knelt down and lowers your hood. "Milord, I have important news,"
"What news could be considered important to the immortal Xmki?" Xmki asked in a formal yet a bored undertone.
"A group of skilled warriors has appeared and they wish to challenge your rule. They plan to free the canines from your mines."
"She won't like that," Kim muttered already guess the reaction.
"Nope," Tara said simply. "Wait for it."
Xmki did not take this well, "WHAT!" now she had a different mindset then most warlords. She did not mind rebellion or challengers wishing to 'free' the world from her rule. She let them as they amused her greatly and felt great pleasure when she crushed them. The reason she was angry here was the fact the mines the canines were 'running' brought a large amount of power to her and losing them would be a bit of work to bring back up.
"Huh," Kim muttered generally surprised, "that's a new way of thinking. Never had a villain like that before."
"Well she's immortal that has been around for who knows how long," Hope explained, "I'm sure she gets bored easily. This is probably a great source of entertainment for her as bad as that sounds."
"Still seems wrack," Monique muttered.
Marcella smirked, "She won't always be thinking this for long."
She turns to the wall of still flames behind him and she spread her arms, "Show me the fools!"
Some of the flames moved showing an image of Ron, Rufus, Joss and Yori with the dogs getting into the rocket car. Ron turned having the feeling they were being watched and Xmki focused on his face.
Xmki was stunned seeing them. "I see," she said slowly as she waved her hand dismissing the spy. She bowed and left her mistress to her plotting.
Rufus peeked out and look at the villain as she focused on Ron. The look on her face puzzled him as she did not look outright angry like he expected.
Xmki stared at the image as they took off before she said with a barely noticeable smile, "So that is what Aku did to you four. No doubt thinking he would be rid of you for these thousands of years. Because of his and your actions I was born. And for that you have my thanks," here Xmki bowed slightly with her eyes closed even though they could not hear her.
'She was born after their battle?' Kim thought with a raised brow, 'So she must have come from Aku but still I feel like I am missing something.'
But then her smile dropped and when she opens her eyes they were nothing but business. "But even that does not allow you to mess with my affairs in this future. You may fight for their freedom but I cannot allow you to do so without facing my wrath. If you wish to fight my rule with your life on the line…then so be it."
She grinned widely, showing her canines were slightly curved like an oni or Aku's. She laughed as a clicking of thousands of metal feet, moving and a swarm started to leave the dark pit below.
"Oh snap," Monique muttered watching something too dark for her to see crawled from the darkness.
"You can say that again," Liz muttered recalling a similar reaction when she first saw this.
"Oh snap," Ron repeated worried for his counterpart as well as Yori and Joss.
The scene change and now showed the gang riding inside the rocket car.
The group of three dogs and teens travelled far in the rocket jet to the mines that the dogs were enslaved at. Ron and Rufus did not feel much from the thrust as they were used to stuff just as fast if not faster. Joss was holding better but she never felt something this much while Yori was holding onto the seat in front of her scared.
'Poor Yori,' Ron thought figuring the girl would do the same.
She looked over and saw that Dreyfuss had his head out the window and sticking his tongue out as he enjoyed the ride.
Rufus laughed at the dog, seeing plenty of other dogs do that. He did admit it was fun but he always had to hold on.
The rocket car made it to the mines with little problems. They landed and everyone got out. Ron and Joss got out just fine, but Yori were a little shaken and fell to her knees.
"I say young lady, are quite alright?" Rothy asked looking at the girl.
"I am fine. It was honorable of you to offer a ride, but it would also be my honor to walk." Yori managed to stand after a small rest.
Ron shook his head since he knew Yori would say the same thing.
"Oh yes rocket rides and all that, but anyways, welcome to our camp." Rothy said as he started showing them the excavation camp.
"Over the years we have discovered many amazing discoveries involving the history of canine kind." The group saw a dog statue, a fire hydrant and some billboards depicting dogs that would have been commonplace in their time.
"Sadly, Aku has redirected our attentions to the excavations of his precious gems, and if Aku's unreasonable quotas are not fully met. I'm afraid terrible punishments are exacted." Rothy held his head as he pointed to a single area. The site made them sad and sick and the same time.
Kim, Ron and Monique stared, gapping at the scene. They were horrified and felt slightly sick. Rufus took one look before he fainted. The others girls were sad seeing the scene again. It has been a long time since they first seen it but it was still a powerful and horrifying image.
"No." Joss said holding a hand to her mouth as tears began to form "How horrible"
"This is just wrong sick." Ron said looking down as he just couldn't take the site. Rufus cried seeing what everyone else has.
"Agreed" Ron muttered.
"Truly such a demon as Aku would commit such atrocities." Yori commented also unable to hide any form of sadness and her righteous rage. The site itself was of several dogs both male and female were slain and nailed in a crucified position. Their bodies in various states of decay as maggots and flies buzzed around them.
Kim had tears coming to her eyes. She knew this was fake but this was too much.
Ron felt horrible seeing this and looked around the camp as Rothy went on.
"My people spirits are broken. We simply cannot live like this any longer." Rothy finished as the four teens looked around and saw all the dogs working to mine the crystals, but they were weak and saddened. Pups forced to carry loads far bigger than their size and strength, and not even the elderly were spared as one of the elder dogs had collapsed with his spirit leaving the mortal vessel. Those nearby the deceased elder dog howled in sadness as others attempted to pick up the slack.
Monique whipped her eyes as she cried, "Why is this so sad?"
Kim said nothing as she to cried softly. This was horrible to see the state of how these dogs were living. Kim wouldn't wish this upon anyone, even her villains. Ron nodded blowing his nose, not liking this at all. The other girls were sadden seeing the dogs back when they were slaves but they remember that they will be spared their fate and be free.
They were unable to stop the tears that were now falling with no sign of stopping. Ron cried; he has seen some bad things before but nothing ever like this. He then clenched his fist, Xmki caused this and he was the only one to stop her even if it was Aku at first. Everything else seemed tame to him now.
Yori shook in anger and sadness, "Xmki, she truly is the worst then Aku seems to be. She has no honor to be able to do this. Even dogs should not be worked like dogs."
Kim winced while Ron sighed, he knew Yori means well but she could have worded it better.
Though she said this with much passion, a cough made her look sheepish at the look the dogs were giving her.
Suddenly one dog came running scared, "Xmki's forces approach from the south! They will be upon us by sunrise." Everyone was shocked at this, as already Xmki was onto them.
"How bad is it?" Monique asked.
"Wait for it," Hope muttered.
Ron, Joss and Yori followed Rothy and the other dog to a lookout post where they looked through binoculars. Slowly a wave of black was moving across the land covering everything. A clicking noise was echoing getting slowly louder.
"Oh…that bad," Monique muttered wide eyed.
"That is a big army," Kim said stunned seeing the mountains being covered in the black swarm.
"And we will have to fight them," Ron reminded them looking scared.
"Can it get any worse?" Monqiue asked but then the screen went black and the credits rolled. "Oh come on!"
"Looks like they want the battle for the next episode," Kim observe.
Ron nodded, "Yeah probably the best call. They got a good buildup and will get people wanting the big fight."
"And what a fight it was," Tara said with a grin.
"That good?" Monique asked.
"It's the last pilot," Liz explained, "These got everyone excited for the series and they went all out."
"No more stalling!" Ron declared pumping his fist, "I want to see my guy kick butt."
"I know he can do it," Kim said confidently.
"You heard them wiz-kid," Hope said aloud hoping Wade would hear them, "Play the last pilot."
"Here we go," Wade said bringing up the episode, episode three, First Fight."
"Short, simple and easy to figure out," Ron said. "Why can't other TV titles be like that?"
