Annnnnd we're back. For the last two months the dungeon has been completely renovated so it's not really a dungeon anymore and looks a heck of a lot snazzier that one of Drakken's lairs. Now just a note here since there have been comments about this story: In the first three chapters of book one I had a disclaimer basically stating that this tale was going to be a bummer for quite a while. If in doubt please refer to that disclaimer.

I know the chapters haven't been coming out as quickly as we all want, butttttt they should be coming out a little quicker now, but remember this is a hobby for CB and I and sometimes RL (real life) messes things up and messes with timing and posting. Speaking about CajunBear73; I want to thank him for all the work he has done with me for about eight years now. If you can read this it's his fault so drop him a line.

Also, thanks to all who have read, faved, followed, alerted and /or reviewed. So, let's get to the reviews: Jimmy1201, Ron is going to rely on those friends Jimmy and he should thank his stars he has them; CB73, true Rufus is an ex-mole rat and went out a hero (kids accidents happen so make sure you wear your seat belts). Eric/Hans is an a-hole, but he has an agenda. Is he a jerk or something worse?; Bobtrumpet, continue taking your meds bud, there will be some rough patches. Yeah, meditate…probably with about four fingers of Scotch.

Dran, yeah, demoralizing…..but you knew this ahead of time if you read the first part of book one; Guest, well I got your review bud/gal, but unless you register with the site there is no way to communicate with you. But then I guess you knew that because you're experienced and all. As for plot holes…wait to see when they get filled. This whole tale's plot line looks like a big bowl of spaghetti at the moment and you'll be able to see things straightening out soon enough; Alulian P, thanks. I have through chapters 37 written and passed to my editor and it is slated to go about to chapter 55.

As Captain Kodak1 once said, sometimes you have to go through Good Friday to get to Easter.

Anyway, now that I got that stuff out of the way let's get to it…..oh I forgot, BearSent176 will be posting another chapter of Storm Chaser soon, it goes to about 55.

The Hunter: Book two

Chapter 10

Middleton Memorial:

The blond teen held his unconscious Dad's hand as the nurse prepped the man for exploratory surgery. Doctor Swashplate entered and stood behind the younger Stoppable. "We will do the best we can for your Father, Ronald."

Sigh, "Yeah I know Doc.", Ron replied, "And ten years from now we can sit behind a couple glasses of beer and laugh about it, but right now…it sucks more than I think you know. I hope I can step up; you know."

"Ronald,", the chief of staff went to assure the teen, "we have to go through this operation or your Father may not get better. Now I know that right now things are tough and you are under lot of pressure, but we will get through this. You already know that this is one of the better facilities in the country and that we will do the best we can."

"I trust you guys Doc…I mean I know Mrs. Doctor P and she inspires a lot of confidence…If the rest of your team is as high of quality as she is I know that both Mom and Dad will pull through just fine…", the blond teen sniffed, "It's just real tough right now. I'm just lucky that I have friends around that can help me deal with all this."

The chief of staff half-smiled as he understood what the teen was going through and the fact that he had a support network behind him. "I'm glad that you have a support network. Now I will check in with you a little later Ronald, there is coffee in the waiting room…"

"Thanks Doc, I'm gonna wait till they take Dad in and then I'm going to sit with Mom. Maybe I'll get some later…"

Doctor Swashplate suggested, "Maybe you should take a walk outside to get some fresh air. The snow seemed to have stopped the last time I checked."

"Yeah, I'll do that, but I wanna check on Mom first. I almost wish some of Drakken's clones of me had not melted a few years ago, this would be a lot easier if there were more of me."

Not sure of what the teen was speaking about the Doctor decided to ignore what he thought was simple rambling due to the stress he could see the young man was under, "I will leave you to your devices young man…Oh your Rabbi is in the hospital. I suppose he might meet up with you sometime today."

"Thanks for letting me know Doc, I'll look up Rabbi Katz as soon as I get back in from getting some air. Maybe he can help me sort this all out.", the former running back replied as the Chief of Staff left.

"Okay Dad, see ya later and make sure you pull through.", Ron said to the Patriarch of the Middleton branch of the Stoppable family as he rose to give the nurse the opportunity to move the hospital bed away.

With a sigh the blond teen waved at his unconscious father as he was wheeled away. Ron paused as he donned his coat, 'Doctor Swashplate is right, I need some air.'

X

A few minutes later Ron left his Mother's room and went to the cafeteria to get himself a coffee before he headed outside. The teen pulled his stocking cap out of his pocket and placed it on his head as he sat down on a bench. "This sucks.", he said to no one in particular the snow began again.

"Indeed, it does Ronald.", a bald, bearded man (who sorta has the author's hair style…AN) answered him as he sat down and flipped up the collar of his thick wool coat. "Swashplate told me you might be out here for some solitude."

"Thanks for coming Rabbi. I woulda called, but I've been busy for a coupla days with everything going on.", Ron explained.

"I would be surprised if you weren't and I would be more surprised if you were getting full night's sleep as well. How are you doing Ronald?"

"I…I guess as well as could be expected, they just took Dad in a little while ago. I saw Mom too, she's still in a coma. They don't know when she is gonna wake up.", Ron informed his spiritual counsellor. "I might have to miss a few sessions till I get this under control."

"That is completely understandable Ronald, and if there is anything I can do for you, please call at any time.", Rabbi Katz implored the young man.

"Hey thanks Rabbi. I guess I'd better go back in and check to see how Dad's doing.", Ron half-smiled and then rose to his feet.

"Ronald…"

"Yeah Rabbi?"

"Never forget you have friends out there to help, let them help you through your troubled times. It will not only give you the support you need, but also allow others to learn how to give of themselves."

"I'll try to remember that, I gotta go and thanks.", Ron offered his hand.

"I will leave you to take care of the things you must Ronald, but try to remember what I mentioned about your friends…and remember Bert Klerrup's first rule."

"Huh, what?"

"Bert Kleerup's first rule is never to take yourself too seriously.", the rabbi chuckled then added, "Stop and think once in a while Ronald…smell the roses."

With a small smile the older man accepted the younger's handshake and then turned back to the closed doors of the medical center.

Harney County, Oregon:

Sheriff Benson Grift looked over at his nephew, Rich Sigmond, a new hire on the force after six years in the military, "How do you like it here so far, Rich?"

"So far not bad. Six years as an MP taught me a lot…I mean I know I still have a lot to learn…but I really wish I could have been around for Mom when those giant robots attacked last year. With all that happened…I got worried about her, you know, and since I was coming to my ETS date, I couldn't stand to be away from the family with all that happened. I might have been able to do something about that.", the younger Deputy observed.

"There wasn't much we could do on our end so I doubt if you could have accomplished anything other than being put in a box. Anyway, you didn't hear it from me but we owe Kim Possible a whole bunch since that robot shrunk about ten seconds before it was going to take out the Courthouse with your Mom inside…She was working over on some project or other.", the young man's Uncle revealed, "We got the shit from a briefing about four months ago, that it was Possible who stopped those damned things. It was all hush hush."

"How did you even find out Uncle? That was supposed to be classified. We only heard rumors."

"I went to a conference back then because there was a nationwide uproar after the attempted takeover of the government, so they gave us some info by people who dealt with it. The conference was held by some undercover group from the UN, who told us what went down. And Miss Possible's name was at the forefront along with some rodent and pre-teen tech guy. They stopped part of Colorado from being turned into an above ground nuclear site. An area south of Denver would have been glowing glass."

"Who are they? The UN group I mean. Everyone knows about Kim Possible.", the younger police man asked with widened eyes.

"I can't tell you except that without this group intervening, there would be some serious shit going down, Rich."

The younger man raised his right eyebrow then half-frowned, "At least something from the UN is useful."

The Sheriff then told his newest Deputy why he really called him in, "True, but since you are new in the department you have to have some break-in time. Now I want you to ride with Sergeant Sporting for a few weeks until you have some hair on your chin."

"Sure Sheriff, but what is going on with him? … It's like he's got a chip on his shoulder."

"Yeah, he does. Just keep an eye on him while you ride with him but let me know if he does anything to make you uncomfortable, or anything that is illegal."

"Like what, Uncle?", the younger man inquired.

"Like stuff they'd shove your ass into Leavenworth for when you were in.", the Sheriff cryptically informed his relation, before he elaborated a little, "The good Sergeant won't talk about it, but I think he belongs to one of those right-wing nationalist organizations that have various agendas. Just keep your mouth shut and your eyes open."

"Sure Uncle, I have to learn the department's procedures anyway and riding around with an experienced officer will show me how to do it."

"Great Rich, now go into the squad room while I brief your new partner on this development."

The younger Deputy got up and exited the office as the Sheriff picked up his phone.

The Possible home:

"Kids I am going to the space center after dropping by the hospital to check on Ronald and his parents.", James Possible told his offspring as he rose from his chair at the breakfast table.

Kim half-smiled, "Tell Ron that I'm thinking about him and I hope his Mom and Dad get better. I'll call him later after my shift at Club Banana and before my date with Eric."

James replied as he put his cup in the sink, "I'll try to remember all of that Kimmie. And boys, don't mess with your sister today before she goes into work and no working on inventions in the garage until I get home from the space center."

"We won't Dad. Anyway, Tim and I have to work out some equations for this new project and it's almost a month away from any trial that we want to try, so we have to see if it works on the computer before we even start building it.", the elder of the twins responded as he poured cereal into his bowl. Of course, a tired looking Jim Possible nodded at his brother's statement.

'The Ranch':

'Eric' glanced over at his 'Nurse', who was just finishing his breakfast, "Tom, a question before you go."

"Go ahead boss.", Bridgestone replied.

"About the sidekick's parents, are you able to get close to them?"

"Not at the moment Hans, they have me assigned in another department. The woman had an operation yesterday, which she should recover from, and the man is having a more complicated one this morning. Although his is more serious he should also recover from it.", Tom informed his boss.

"I was thinking that there would be more pressure on the kid if one or both has a terminal accident. That might move this further along."

Otto frowned, "In war we didn't care if we wounded or killed nephew, actually wounding a soldier is even better because it takes two or three out of the fight while killing one only takes one. So, what I am saying is that both will put your 'target' under pressure, maybe having to ailing parents to look after as well as a baby and helping your girlfriend on her silly assed missions might just be too much for him to handle. I think that this will leave him without energy to fight off any of our opportunities against him and give us the chance to rip him from Possible's side to breakup their team. Remember, to get to her we need to split the boy away from her. If the parents are terminated, he will have two less to take care of and it will be much more manageable for him to do so."

"Anyway, Tom see how close you can get to one of the Stoppables. I would like more inside information, Kimmie is not as close to her friend as she once was because of her allergy to him.", Hans chuckled.

Otto chuckled, "Well Hans, it appears that at least some of your plan is working. They will not be able to work closely together now that they won't be physically as close as they once were."

Bridgestone rose, "I again don't know where I'll be in the hospital today so I don't know if I can find any information, but I'll see if I can tap into the nurse's gossip group comes up with and see where that takes us."

Otto shook his head, "Maybe go out for drinks with them to make sure that they think you are one of them…"

Middleton Memorial:

"The waiting room is this way, wheels.", the raven-haired girl told her boyfriend, who had refused her assistance on helping him navigate the hallways of the hospital.

"I can read the signs Zita, I wanted to get here yesterday…but we really couldn't. After last night I knew I just had to be here for Ron. His whole world is shattering and he needs his friends around him."

Sigh, "I know, if that idiot would just let us tell Kim what he was to her this might all clear up real fast."

The wheelchair bound young man snorted, "As if."

Felix never told his girlfriend about Ron's abilities or his connection with a covert school in Japan so she had no idea that Ron Stoppable was a kickass hero of the first order and kept his 'talents' under wraps at the behest of said school that had been inexistence for fifteen centuries. Felix only knew because Ron had intervened on an attack on the Renton home the summer before. (Wade also knew, but he also knew better to speak about the incident because Yamanouchi was capable of silencing people who were entrusted with valuable information but were unable to keep their mouths shut. Although, with few instances, the threats were enough to keep secrets, secret…AN)

When the teens arrived at the waiting room, Ron was there sipping a cup of coffee. When he was younger, the covert ninja student drank his 'Joe' with lots of sugar and milk or cream to make it palatable. Now the blond preferred it black and strong. It must have been something about keeping long hours over the summer and fall.

Felix wheeled up to his best friend from Middleton High, "How ya doing, Ron?"

The blond teen looked up from his cup, "About the same Wheels. Dad's in the operating room right now and there isn't much change in Mom. What are you guys going up here?"

Zita came up, "Supporting our friend, that's what friends do."

"Yeah girlfriend, still not used to people being in my corner, but thanks for coming."

She then asked, getting right to the point, "That's good, I guess. When are you going to tell Possible about what you guys had?"

Ron set his coffee down and leaned forward, "So not gonna happen, Zita."

"Why? She deserves to know."

"Kim's happy and I want her to stay happy. She has Eric now and you didn't hear this from me, but they are going to college together over in England next fall. She was informed that the snob's family is gonna pay her way and I can't get in the way of that, you know.", Ron explained.

"Why are they doing that?", Felix inquired.

Ron thought for a moment then responded, "I guess that Eric's folks some want first-class genes in their family. I mean you know the Possibles have multiple geniuses in their family line, so it makes sense to me and we all have to admit that Kim isn't hard to look at."

Zita frowned at this information, right from the horse's mouth, so to speak, "And she isn't smart enough to remember you as her boyfriend…That says a lot. I ought to break the news to her and see what that red head's reaction is…"

Ron also frowned at this and cautioned his first date ever, "Don't do that Zita, I have the whole school clamped down and it's staying that way until after graduation. Anyway, after that thingie blew up in her face I'm just glad that she's breathing."

"What if she remembers before graduation?"

"I'll just say that she has a perfectly fine boyfriend and that we just grew apart just like when she told me last spring that we have to grow up. She's grown and so have I. I just have more commitments now than I had then."

"Commitments?"

"Yeah, when Mom and Dad come home, they are going to need help getting around. And taking care of sis is going to be out of the question. I might have to drop out of school this year to keep everything together…"

"That's stupid, you have to get a degree to go to college.", Zita snarked.

"Maybe, but I have to take care of my family. That's a man's job and by my religion I am a man, you know. After they get back on their feet I can go back and finish high school or I can get my GED. Anyway, with the lack of funds thing going on at my house any college for me is sorta outta the question. Anyway, it was outta the question before so I guess I'll just wait to see what happens with Mom and Dad."

Felix rolled up to Ron, "We're here for you Ron, remember that."

"Yeah, you guys and the football team…and some of the cheer squad…Anyway, thanks for coming down here."

The wheelchair bound genius inquired, "How are you handling Rufus's…uh…"

"Death?", Ron asked.

"Uh, yeah."

"It hasn't hit me yet, it probably will when I least expect it. Right now I have to figure out how I am going to be more for the team, Rufus did a bunch of stuff for us that got us outta trouble like when Kim or me…mostly me. I sorta get into trouble and get captured."

My rodent buddy's the one who got Kim free last spring when we got captured at Bueno Nacho Headquarters…He took down the synthodrone and stopped the invasion.", Ron informed his now best friend and his first girlfriend.

Felix knew this because Ron 'spilled the beans', so to speak, when they were playing Zombie Mayhem during the summer. For Zita, this was new to her so she asked, "Your pet saved the world?"

"In a roundabout way, Zita.", Ron responded to his 'ex', "He bit on the syntho and deflated him."

Zita looked confused, "How did that save the world?"

Ron rolled his eyes ad explained, "The fake Eric was holding the EMP thing he caught when Kim shot it at Drakken's control tower."

"So…", Zita started then stopped as Ron continued speaking, "Wade made the thing and when Kim's date for the Prom deflated, the EMP thingie hit the tower and shorted out the electronics and that made the flying robots stop working…End of invasion. The rest was cleanup. Although, the high point of my night was when Doctor D remembered my name."

Zita frowned, "I thought becoming Possible's boyfriend was the high point…"

The former running back who had blinding speed chuckled nervously, "Okay Zita, you caught me. That was the high point, but Doctor D remembering my name had to be second. To him I was always the 'buffoon' even when we kicked his ass after we wrecked his ignorant schemes."

"So, all that talk about Rufus being a hero was real?", the Latino teen asked.

"Yeah, pretty much. He did corny stuff too…Ya know, to keep us loose. I don't know how this is going to work now…and since I'm not sure Kim and I can even work together…"

"Kim developed an allergy to you?", Zita beat Ron to the punch as James Possible walked in.

"Ah yeah, she did. Wade and some experts are working on some kind of short-term fix so she can at least be in the same building as me…Hey Doctor Possible, how are you?"

"Fine this morning Ronald. Is there any coffee left?", the rocket scientist inquired.

"Yeah, but they don't have any creamer or sugar out yet. If I remember, you take it black, though.", Ron pointed over to the pot.

James smiled, "Quite right Ronald, let me get another cup. I'll be right back."

Two minutes later James Possible sat down next to Kim's oldest friend. "Any news yet?", he asked.

"On Dad, no, they haven't said anything. On Mom, same ole same ole as of an hour ago. It's tough for anyone, but considering how much patience I have…totally sucks.", Ron muttered as Zita sat down and Felix rolled up so that he could sit next to her.

They were all quiet and beginning to relax when a woman in blue 'scrubs' entered the waiting area. "Mister Stoppable?", she asked.

Ron rose quickly and get his cup down, "Yeah, that's me…Ron Stoppable."

"Doctor Etme," she offered her hand, "I am one of your Father's surgeons. He is in recovery and will be for a while. We found the problems and repaired them."

Ron breathed a sigh of relief then inquired, "Do you know where they are going to move him to?"

"He is going back to ICU for the time being, but I can have a nurse take you back to recovery. He is still deeply sedated however, so you will not be able to speak with him."

"Thank you, Doctor. I appreciate you coming in to let me know.", Ron said as the forty-something brunette turned to leave.

"Thank you, Janet.", James Possible responded as well as she turned back around.

"Oh James, sorry I was focused on Ronald. How are Anne and the kids?"

"They are doing well; Anne will be back home permanently at the end of the spring."

"That's good James, families do not need to be separated. My heart goes out to those that have to do that."

"True it is tough, but we only have a few months to go.", the rocket scientist replied.

"I understand that you are a friend of Ronald's family. He needs support and I hope Kimberly is able to assist…"

"Unfortunately, my daughter has developed an allergy to Ronald so they are not as close as they were. Maybe this will rectify itself soon. There are medical professionals looking into ways to alleviate the symptoms."

Yamanouchi, Japan:

(Grandfather, may I speak with you for a moment?), the female shinobi inquired as she bowed to the white-haired ninja master.

(Please sit with me child, what troubles you?), Sensei, otherwise known as Lord Toshimiru asked.

(Grandfather, I feel that Stoppable-san is disturbed and needs assistance.) At this point Hirotaka approached and bowed.

The ninja master motioned for him to take a seat next to his betrothed as Yori continued, (I am afraid that the Chosen One's very soul will be damaged…)

Uncharacteristically Sensei shook his head and frowned, (Stoppable-san is Yamanouchi's solitary agent in the USA for the short-term future, child. As you know our assets are spread very thin at the moment considering the threat we are under. To meet all of our commitments he must suck it up and do the best he can.)

Hiro nodded, (We understand Master, but shouldn't we check on the Chosen One to make sure that he is capable…As you know Yori-chan is very close to our friend spiritually and she has felt that he is disturbed in his mind…)

(Normally we would my son, but we do not know where the attack will come from. We only know that it is targeting Japan…) Seeing the looks he was receiving, Sensei continued, (I will speak with Inturo Mekaski to see if he is able to detect anything.)

Yori bowed again from her seated position, (Thank you Grandfather. This eases my mind somewhat.)

(Are you both ready for your missions?), Sensei inquired to take their minds off the American teen.

Hiro replied, not knowing if the old man was aware of the mission details, (We leave tomorrow Sensei. We expect to be away for three months.)

(Take care of my granddaughter Hiro-chan. There are things that we try protect our loved ones from.)

(It would be my great honor Master…)

(When is the date?)

(Date Master?)

(The date you decide to become one?)

Yori took over from her bumbling fiancée, (As soon as possible when these missions are concluded Grandfather.)

Middleton Memorial, Surgery Recovery Room 2-A:

"Nurse Bridgestone, please take Mister Stoppable up to ICU.", operating room nurse Shirly Cambridge instructed the new nurse.

Tom responded to the scrub nurse, "Right ICU?" He looked over the cart and asked, "Chart?"

"Oh yes, thanks I would have had to send the paperwork up to the floor. Good catch, Tom.", Shirly told the male nurse as she handed him a folder. He opened it up, glanced, then nodded. He released the brakes on the hospital bed and to the blond teen who was standing there, "Would you come with me Mister Plobbable?"

The blond teen sighed at his name being screwed with again, sighed, then nodded, "Yeah, right with ya, go ahead."

Ron then followed the medical bed out of the recovery room down the hall to the elevators.

The blond teen and former mascot looked away from the bed holding his Father as they turned a corner. Two big guys quickly stepped out of the way. "Hey Stoppable,", Tank Woodson chuckled, "it looks like Flanner kicked you outta your own house." With that Curt shoulder bumped his linebacker buddy.

"Yeah somethin like that, I hope she and Mike don't get stains on Mom and Dad's bed.", Ron replied as the bed, nurse and most importantly his Father kept on going, he motioned to his friends to follow, "She kicked me out first thing this morning like she owned the place."

Curt laughed, "She's pushy Stoppable, you know that…Remember when she had Possible for a lab partner?"

"Yeah, I remember. Monique Jenkins was my lab partner. Anyway, DNAmy used Flanner's thingie to pull a dinosaur into Middleton. We distracted the thing at the donut shop, before Kim and her 'partner' were able to send it back. Of course, Barkin, being the dipwad he is, didn't believe that plaid wearing blonde was able to do that, didn't give her and Kim a decent grade. Later, I don't think I ever saw Kim so pissed except when I got her set on a date with Brick.", Ron chortled at the memory.

Tank laughed a little, then, "Any change with your parents Stoppable?"

"Mom's up in ICU, still out. She had an operation yesterday, as you know…and Dad, just had his. I expect the doc will brief me when he has more time…I figure he has other operations too. I suppose I'll know more before I go home tonight.", Ron informed his teammates and friends.

Tank frowned knowing that what happened with Rufus and Ron's parents was basically tearing him up inside and advised, "You haveta get some rest…When was the last time you had eight hours?"

"Right after our last game…and that was in the hospital in Boulder.", Ron caught the look from his friends and explained, "I can never sleep much in Japan or on airplanes. Japan because the beds suck…you sleep on a thin mat on the floor and the plane…just no."

(Of course, the former 'Mad Dog' didn't tell them that three hours was the norm for a trainee at the covert school and Sensei felt that the American teen had to push through the wall of fatigue to reach the level where he would be competent enough to protect those he was tasked to. So, the really old ninja master made the blond American go several days without sleep to ensure that Ron would attain the level Sensei wanted him to be at. At the end, Lord Toshimiru was finally pleased with Ron Stoppable's progress…AN)

The three followed the hospital bed as it was pushed into the elevator…

France:

Francis Capon glanced up as his aide slash assistant, (Inspector, we have confirmed that Monsieur Jones and his cohorts were killed mostly by bladed weapons in a rather vicious manner.)

(Sergeant do we have an assessment of how many attackers there were?)

(Inspector, there is no way to tell for sure, but considering how much damage was done to the members of the cartel it must have been at least twenty to twenty-five who assaulted the island. There were few gunshot wounds, mostly sword work though I do not understand why.)

(Why do you say that, Sergeant?)

(Why use an out of date weapon when you could use a modern one?), came the reply.

(I admit I do not know. Has there been anyone checking in to our involvement with Kim Possible being onsite? I have had word that Global Justice isn't happy with us going around them to get her to check out Jones' island.), the Inspector told his Aide.

(Is it true that there was a warning when you requested Mademoiselle Possible's assistance?)

(Yes, but like most warnings nothing has transpired. I think it was just someone trying to frighten me away from using her.), Capon chuckled as he raised a glass to his lips, (But just in case, double the security around my dwellings, we do not want any unfortunate surprises.)

Middleton Memorial Hospital:

"Groan."

"Hey Dad, good to see you're awake.", the blond teen asked his old man.

"What happened, Ronald?", Dean Stoppable inquired.

"You guys had an accident on the way to pick me up at the airport.", Ron explained.

"So that's why I hurt so much?"

"Yeah and you just woke up from surgery."

"Surgery Ronald? Where's Barb…errrrr, your Mother?"

"She a few cubicles over, they operated on her yesterday. She has swelling on the brain and is in a coma.", Ron informed his Dad.

"Oh my…Your sister?"

"She's fine Justine and Mike are watching her right now.", Ron explained.

"Flanner?"

"Yeah, she babysat a bunch of cousins. She also can call me if she needs help, a lot of my friends have stepped up."

"Good…"
