And welcome back. This might be the last posted chapter for a while, my operation to remove half my pancreas and my spleen will take place December 5th and I will be in the hospital for a week and then they told me to expect another month to recover completely. So, I am going to go through some things if I am lucky.
Anyway, enough of that book 2 ends at chapter 99….I promise since I am now writing book 3. I want to thank everyone who as read, alerted, faved, followed or reviewed and here is where I answer those reviews: CB73, sure was eye opening. We see a little of Ron's world and how it is different from ours. Ronnie boy has always slipped through the cracks. The principal now knows what is going on and what the 'G' men are planning and using the blond sidekick is part of their plans. I think some of the adults in the room are beginning to wonder how Ron is going to survive this since he is being used; Jimmy1201, I love the Justine/Mike Little pairing, she is the boss of the pairing. As for Tara calming Justine down, the platinumed blonde is that….calm although she has a bubbly personality. Q acting as Ron's legal council was a decent touch and shoes another side of the gruff old judge…he tries to be a good person.
Yes, again I want to thank CajunBear73 and Jimmy1201 (who edited this chapter) for their work, but it's time to get this one on the road,

The Hunter: Book Two
Chapter 56
The Jar Head Diner:
"You freaking did what to that ass wipe Barkin? That ingrate deserves a whole-body ass wuppin'," the former Gunnery Sergeant slapped his knee as he howled in laughter as Ron told his boss why he was an hour late. The retired Marine had just decided the story that his best cook and told him had to go somewhere near the top of the list.
"I sorta busted up his knee. I don't think I broke it, but he won't be dancing for a while", Ron frowned now wishing that he had done a better job of screwing up his nemesis's appendage.
Turning more serious Mac inquired, "What is your situation Son, while doing the 'corps' a favor, busting up a teacher is frowned upon…"
(AN…. however, the author has. The other guy started the fisticuffs, and I was rearranging his dental work when somebody grabbed me from behind (I didn't know he was a teacher) …I just turned around and knocked him out and ended up being suspended for one day. The other guy got a week and the teacher apologized to me and I ended up apologizing back.)
"As of now I'm suspended from school probably through the end of the year and already have been in front of Judge Snobblestone. He's letting me walk free for the time being.," Ron coughed as Nancy took Hanna away from him. Ron might have been a sarcastic ass, but he did get embarrassed occasionally.
"You deserve a raise for doing that, too bad you didn't get pictures.," Mac rubbed the tears of joy out of his eyes.
"Welp, I might be working here a little longer than we thought a week ago.," Ron hinted.
"Huh?"
"Yeah, I didn't want to bring any heat on CSU, so when I was at the police station waiting to be booked, I told them it was alright if they pulled my schollie and made an announcement about it and why they did it. There would be no hard feelings on my side. Although they expressed their support over what is hanging over my head, they now know they have a way out if they need it and will still look good."
At this Mac narrowed his eyes and growled out, "What the fuck is going on Stoppable? That could be the ride of a lifetime."
Customers who were close began to murmur as Ron glanced around. The place had been humming since the announcement of his recruitment to Colorado State.
"Let's go in the kitchen Mac."
After they got behind the counter and alone, Ron checked to make sure they were alone then whispered, "The feds are going after Barkin and his pals throughout the whole damned state and I'm that piece of meat that's gonna be dangled in front of them to get them to crawl out from under their rocks and try something to make me stay in this POS town. The reason I unloaded on Barkin is 'cause he threatened me earlier in the day so much, so they were going to fire him, but he stayed on for some reason and in gym he threw a punch at my head from behind. He missed then he wanted me to turn around so he could try again. I refused and he swung, I just kicked him in the knee. That put him on the ground and in the ER. That's why it looks like I'm in trouble. Anyway, the feds had some info that they are gonna try and make me go to school for more years at Middleton High."
"You defended yourself from injury? What a crock. I'm gonna say this, I'd better not see any of those clowns leaving you out ta dry. If they do, I'm gonna flap my gums to the closest newsie I can find."
"Mac, I'm used to being used. The only thing I worry about is Hanna, she's about all I have left. I'm gonna give ya a number to call if it goes more oblong than it already has. It's to people to make sure sis stays safe…it's pretty long distance though so it's gonna cost a couple bucks to get hold of them. Wade and Felix have their number too, but you're a back up to a backup if someone gets lucky outta this."
With a serious face, Mad queried, "How long of a distance?"
Ron turned red, "Uh, Japan. Don't use it unless something happens to me though, but they would be here in about twelve hours after your call and they would be taking Sis to a safe place that nobody outside their group there knows about."
"Is that baby that important?"
"I don't know, but if something happens to me call that number and try to tell them where she is. They will take it from there."
Nancy spindled an order and yelled, "UP; move your ass Stoppable."
"Thanks…uh Mac, since I ain't in school now I can work longer hours if I have to."
"Okay…."
"But remember, I might get called out to investigate more places with my Japanese friends or do that world saving BS with Kim. There is some serious weird shit going on that we are trying to get to the bottom of."
"You sound like some kind of international spy Ron, go ahead, and get your apron on. We have work to do."
"Right," Ron quickly slapped on a clean apron, tied it and got the orders off the spindle, "Meatloaf dinner and three BLTs, one with a salad and one with onion rings and the third with soup", the blond teen uttered as he checked to see what his supplies were for the evening. Satisfied that he had enough to get him much further into the night he slapped the bacon on the grill as well as the meatloaf.

The Cow and Chow, Middleton:
"Calm down pretty boy. Just admit you got your ass handed to you by a judge who doesn't care about you in his courtroom because you spoke without being asked to", Monique cautioned since 'Eric' was still complaining about how he had been treated by the cantankerous judge, "After that outburst you're lucky that Snobblestone didn't automatically toss you in a cell for a month. You didn't have to say anything from what I could see and obviously from he could see either. As a matter of fact, you don't like Stoppable so why did you even bother to show up?"
Kim was trying to referee between the two and she understood that she wasn't getting far, "Moni just give it a rest. I agree Eric didn't need to be there, but he was…."
The suave teen claimed, "It is my right as a citizen of Britain to right injustices and to make sure that those who subvert justice are punished…. I came there to support Kimberly, she is my main concern…"
'Nique asked, "Eric, believe it or not Kim doesn't always need to be supported. She has done pretty well over the years with just a computer guy and a hapless friend and his rodent helping her out. Now I have another question; where did you get your law degree Eric? Anyway, you aren't even a citizen in this country which you rightly claim to be able to demand a damned thing. Being from the noble class in your country does not give you special rights in this country."
"But the Thornbottoms had always stood to make things right…. I cannot believe that I was singled out…threatened…"
Monique snorted, "You weren't threatened by anyone. You could have refused the chance to pay and got yourself a mouthpiece and come to court…to stand up for your rights."
Kim frowned, "BF, GF, I am getting a headache. Can we just drop it?"
"If the subject upsets you Kimberly…. I can let it go. I wonder when I will get my money back?", 'Eric' inquired.
Monique snorted, "Like never."
The 'Englishman' paled, "I do not get my money back?"
Kim shook her head, "It was a fine in court, because you caused a distraction in the court and levied by a duly elected judge."
Eric stuck out his chest and in doing so professed his ignorance, "Then I should run for this judgeship and right this wrong."
Monique advised, "Okay, then get your law degree, pass the BAR and become an American citizen before you can even run. That will take you about ten years. But no one would get elected without any experience so get another ten years of court work. Of course, the locals here like that old coot so you might have some trouble getting traction on being elected even after you do all that. The old fart is a war hero who went to law school after he got out of Nam."
"He was a soldier?" Eric/Hans inquired.
Kim smirked, "I wrote a report on him for Veteran's Day back in seventh grade. He was a Paratrooper in the eighty-second airborne, he was wounded twice and got a bronze star. Don't think that he isn't tough or doesn't carry a riot shotgun around in his beat-up SUV. My Nana knows him from back in the day, she said he still has shrapnel in his leg, but it's been years since I spoke to her about it."
Monique giggled, "They call him the hanging judge of Middleton County…. or at least they used to."
"Moni, that's not nice. Judge Snobblestone may be gruff, but he is nice. He buys a whole lot of Pixie Scout Muffins every year and I mean cases, then he gives them away in court", Kim told her friend as she took a drink of her soda then sat back and grinned at her best friend girlfriend.
BEEP BEEP DE DA BEEP
Kim pushed the 'connect' button on her wrist unit and said, "Go Wade."
"Ron went to work after court, so it looks like they are not keeping him in jail", the genius informed Kim.
"Where is Ron's sister Wade?"
"Ah, he took her to work with him like he normally does."
"Who babysits Hanna at that place Wade?" Kim inquired, "I know he takes her in with him most of the time."
"They have staff at the diner who do that for Ron, when he has a break, he takes it with her, sometimes she sits in the kitchen in a highchair when it's a slow time."
Eric muttered loud enough to be heard by Wade, "That is totally inappropriate. Work is no place for a child."
Wade informed Eric, "Some of the companies your family does business with do the same thing. So, if you are so against it why don't you abolish the practice in the companies you do business with?"
"I do not…."
"Do you do business in India Eric?", Wade inquired.
"What does that have to do with anything?" 'Eric' queried since he had no idea that there were real Thornbottoms that had companies who did business with 'family' contractors for cheap labor.
"Well, I was looking at the site from your family and they referred to 'contractors' from India and Pakistan that used child labor some as young as six to make stuff that I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like to do", the fashionista informed him. "If I get high enough on the international food chain, I'll stop the practice even if it costs me more to make my products. Profit ain't everything."
"I assure you that I did not know…."
(AN….'Eric' is really NOT a Thornbottom…. he just plays one on TV…. LOL)
"You did more than casually mention that your family was into this. Are you gonna own it now that I have some data back?", Monique pointed out when she asked the question.
Kim frowned as she didn't like seeing Eric be put on the spot, "Did Wade help you find this 'Nique?"
"He pointed me in the right direction Kim, I did most of the work myself."
"Wade?"
"What have I told you about giving out data without clearing it through me first?"
"Kim, it was simple research. I got it done in an hour. All it cost me was the electricity to run my computer system and it was already working on another project at the time." Wade responded, "And I will remind you Kim, you are the boss of the team, but I do research on my own with companies I deal with."
The red head inquired, "On what may I ask?"
"Where do you think your gadgets come from?"
"Oh, alright Wade. Is there anything else?"
"On Monkey Fist, he has gone to ground Kim. He hasn't tried anything in months, and it's been wayyyy to long than what he normally tries to do."
"Why didn't you notify me about any of this?" The cheerleader was now a little upset.
"Kim, although you face him, he is more interested in killing Ron than anything, he has been infatuated with Ron ever since Ron went to check on something at his castle when we first used the Holo-Kim. Anyway, the English Lord only attacks you if you're in the way of him getting to Ron. So, I thought it would be best trying to locate him and interrupt anything he has going on to protect your sidekick since he only cares about anything monkey."
The red head responded as she chuckled, "And Ron is afraid of monkeys. How weird is that?"
"With the villains you guys face, it pretty much says it all", Wade chuckled, "But Monique asked a simple question and since she went on that mission last winter where you both got banged up I thought that it wouldn't take too much to help her out in turn. So, I used my own resources to help her out."
"Okay Wade, you made your point. Are you sure Ron's sister is fine?"
"Kim, she spends most evenings there since Ron works usually till midnight or one in the morning, she is fine."

Steve Barkin's house:
Ernie Roberts changed out the ice bag on Barkin's damaged left knee. "Steve you are not going to be able to go in tomorrow, the swelling hasn't even begun to go down yet."
"That damned punk, we shoulda just paid the extra to pop him last summer", the former Marine grunted unaware that just saying that could get him into trouble.
There was a knock on the door and Stevie looked at his fellow coach and asked, "Do you mind?"
"Sure, I'll see who it is," Roberts said as he patted Barkin on the shoulder.
Moments later:
"I heard you had an accident with the Stoppable kid", Chester Wilmington frowned, "What did you do to him?"
"I got him arrested Sir." Barkin responded with a grimace, "I hope he's in jail for a couple of weeks and then I have him for summer school and practice then next fall."
"So, you don't know what happened with him?" the head of the Middleton Athletic Boosters inquired.
"No and right now after my meal comes and I eat I am going to take my pain meds and get some sleep after I ice it one more time."
Wilmington inquired, "Why did the Stoppable boy attack you?"
"I, uh, took a swing at him in class and I moved, and I missed then I swung at him again, that's when he kicked me." Barkin basically told them the truth.
"Maybe I should get a hold of my fixer and make that injury to that child permanent. That would teach that clown who is boss around here. It will then take away any reason for him to not stay and play ball for us next year."
Even Roberts knew that wiping the child out of the 'gene' pool could be a very bad idea since the blond teen who masqueraded as her brother was capable of beating the crap out of multiple people at the same time and what he may do if he found out about the hit.
"Uh Sir, Mister Wilmington, I think we should not go down that route. I tried to injure Stoppable a few times last fall and all I can say is that he left pain on others behind him. If you his sister killed, I don't think he would go to the police with his suspicions he might just lash out and if we are in the way we might very well end up in the same way we leave the child."
"How would he even know who was responsible Ernie?" Chester asked.
"He might use Kim Possible's tech guy, I've heard he has the world wired. If so, he would find out and tell Stoppable…"
"Then we would have to kill him too if he didn't back off…."
Barkin winced as he advised, "As much as I would like to have Stoppable removed; if a second one of our players ends up in the morgue I doubt if we could attract anyone to play ball here Sir. With what you are proposing no one will come out for ball for years once we get that kind of reputation about kids getting killed. Parents will avoid us like the plague…. It could be years before we were able to field a team and the one that does put out may not be competitive for eight or nine years. People have long memories and once they distrust you it will take years to regain that trust."
"Woodson was retired and beginning to make trouble for the program, good riddance. I for one am glad he's gone, he was a decent player, but he had a little too much baggage to be of use anymore in my opinion," Wilmington grinned, "Whoever whacked him did us a favor."
Barkin winced again (Ron did a decent job on making sure ole Stevie wouldn't be chasing people for a few months), "He was an all-state linebacker. He understood defenses like few others who I ever coached Sir. He would have been a decent assistant coach someday."
"Listen Steve, I for one am glad Woodson is gone, it was getting harder and harder to keep him in line according to Ernie here. If he played another year and we had Alberts and Stoppable we would have had a full revolt on our hands."
"I admit his antics were getting old, but he was trusted in running the defense. He really helped in getting us the state championship, maybe more so than Stoppable."
"Well Stoppable is a punk, I had contracted out the hit to get his kid, but we might have to go further. Do you have any idea how to keep students from transferring to other schools?"
"Only if you can get a hold of some leg breakers Sir. It's always been the boosters who have always take care of that, if you don't know how Mister Rockwaller should be able to clue you in."
"He has done so already Steve; I got the name from him for the guy to break the kid's leg. Jacob had already taken most of the names of the people he knew out of his contacts book", Chester informed the school administrator.
"Well,", Roberts suggested, "maybe Mister Rockwaller was tired of it all. He did get out at the top of his game."
"I am jealous of his and your achievements gentlemen, but we have to find a way to stop the flow of talented young men from leaving our town. I suggest that we announce a policy of no more bullying in the school district, and we would provide small incentives for players who are not seniors from leaving."
"Sir, we need one or two major talents to return…. people who have already said they were graduating", Roberts told Wilmington.
The head of the athletic boosters pondered that for a moment, "I want Stoppable, if he gets a little better, we can build both the offense and defense around him."
Barkin frowned, "I want that punk in jail…"
"Steve, I want you to set that desire aside. Does the kid need an ass whipping…yes, but maybe we can use a positive approach to that."
"Sir, need I remind you that CSU has given the punk a schollie."
"Well, I was told by a member of the school board that young Mister Stoppable may not graduate because they have suspended him. He would have to take his senior year all over again which is what we wanted." Wilmington revealed.
"We have tried to work out a deal with Lowerton to have him come here instead of there because he is moving this summer", Barkin did his own reveal.
"And?", Chester inquired.
"They are not interested. Stoppable was planning to move…that is until he had that offer from CSU, and I told him I didn't buy that. He would still have to finish his high school here. He laughed at me. That punk assed kid laughed at me. I shoulda smacked him on the spot."
Wilmington muttered, "And be on your back before now…", sigh "I will call my contact to see if he can make the child go away, if that doesn't work, we can offer the kid a cut if he stays."
Steve Barkin frowned, "You are talking about whacking a baby? From what I've heard the kid already has a broken leg."
"Yes, my contact took care of that, but I suppose a little reinforcing is in order to get Stoppable's attention. If we have to kill her to get him to do what we want it will just be spilt milk and I will throw that bottle of milk on the floor to get my way."
Barkin shivered, "Sir, that goes beyond the pale and could get all of us here the needle."
"Over a little spilt milk? No, they won't. This is for the greater glory of Middleton football. Jacob Rockwaller had a good run, but I want to make us a dynasty that everyone will point to in wonder about how we were able to do it."
Steve Barkin knew he had to say something, he sighed, "Sir, I have to warn you that taking the life of a child or anyone for that matter will have law enforcement down on us if they can prove anything. I have in the past encouraged punitive measures being used on members of the squads or members of the schools. I suggest we don't get used to speaking about these things except in the front of very trusted cohorts. As I have stated targeting a child would invigorate a prosecutor and a grand jury to put us behind bars even if the child in question does not come to harm."
Chester smirked, "Steve, remember you tied your butt to me. I want you to spend tomorrow getting hold of the coach at Lowerton while I get a hold of their athletic boosters' chief. I want the kid here and I will do anything to get him."
"What will you do if CSU demands that he enrolls at their university Sir?", Roberts inquired.
"We are going to pressure the boy, we might have to push some of his friends around", Wilmington suggested.
"A lot of the punk's friends are athletes. One of his classmates has a parent on the school board", Barkin informed the head of the Middleton athletic booster.
"The King kid, she's a cheerleader. She should be standing up for what we are trying to accomplish…."
"She. Is. Not", Ernie interjected.
"Does she have a boyfriend?"
"Yeah, Josh Mankey", Roberts responded.
"Then we rough him up as a warning. It's time the school board finally finds out who is boss in this town", Wilmington told them, "I will get hold of my contact, you know if the Stoppable boy was friends with him, it might make this easier."
Barkin grimaced as he finally reached for his pain pills, "Mankey and the punk are friends. And as you hinted, any way to get Stoppable…."
"Do you think we should whack him?", Chester inquired, "I have heard stories…."
"Most of those were exaggerations Sir."
"Write that name down and the cheerleader too. I might have to bust some heads to get what I want, but I will do it to make sure that we get back to the championship game", Wilmington growled, "When my friend tags her we might just send her mother a little note that if she doesn't play ball with us, her kid's accident might prove to be permanent."
Barkin's eyes were wide now, "Sir, you are starting to sound like a mob boss."
"I do not care Steve, I want results. I promised my friends another state trophy and I plan to deliver."
"Sir, even if we have everything in place a lot of where we end up is just plain luck. You have to understand that. Last year was tremendous for us, we could have easily been defeated in the first round", Barkin informed the head of the boosters.
"We can pull strings…."
"In regular games yes, in playoff games with a lot of people pay attention, no. You can't pay off refs Sir, a guy down in Pikes' Town did that twenty years ago. I think the state locked him away for six years. The refs turned him in, and they got applauded for it for showing integrity. The guy though, he was a rat. After he got out of the pen he moved away", Steve explained, "There are some little things you can do like keeping one or two guys past their eligibility." Ernie added, "Or five…", Barkin ignored the other coach and continued, "Or five if you can get away with it and don't threaten people, but if you get caught doing the big stuff like bribery they prosecute you and make a big deal about it so others think twice."
"Then we need the five best players to return…. but we have to figure out how to keep the kids that were coming up too…."
"Mister Wilmington, I hate to say this, but your antics ran those kids, who had promise, off. Less than two months after they won the state championship you were leaning on them. That kind of behavior doesn't sit well with champs."
"So, I have a small ego, I freely admit that. The large question is how do we get the program off and running again?", the new head of the boosters inquired.
Roberts offered, "We need Alberts and Stoppable…at least to start. We will have to get something on them…."
Steve Barkin shook his head, "Not Alberts except to bribe him to keep his mouth shut."
The other men stated at the head (for now) coach, as he continued, "Trust me you do not want to keep him here, the word is that his uncle is Nick Gonzo and I have a suspicion that 'Uncle Nick' would not want his favorite nephew to be forced to stay here instead of moving on. He is even interviewing Stoppable in about a week and that interview will be on his national show sometime this fall."
"Live?" Wilmington inquired.
Barkin shrugged.
"Why do they want him?" Chester asked, "There are more important people out there."
"I don't know, but we might have screwed the pooch here. If Stoppable talks about the harassment people might start looking at us."
"An even better reason to target the child then." Chester crossed his arms.
Barkin nodded, "They are your contacts, I cannot do this for you Sir. At the moment all I can do is warn you about taking action against children and causing them injury even if the one you are taking an action against is the sister of the person who did this to me. And if Kim Possible finds out she is going to track you down and she has an explosive temper even if she is mad at her idiot buffoon."
Roberts added. "Even when she's annoyed with Stoppable, she usually defends him, and I would say the clown's sister too because they've known each other so long."
"Then bust up Possible too, that is doable…."
Barkin rolled his eyes as he warned, "If you come after Possible, you'd better find trained gorillas to take her down Sir, I'd suggest you go after the old man or her brothers they are softer targets. Threatening Kim Possible will just make her laugh, but she might pause if you attack her family members or Stoppable's friends. If you attack his sister just make sure that your funeral plans are taken care of. From what I've seen of him he can get violent very quickly. He killed two guys that tried to rob his eatery. One made the bad choice of pointing a gun at his sister…. the kid you are planning on messing with."
[Jimmy – This Wilmington guy is what we used to call "Tenaciously Stupid," I suspect that he got his life skills watching old gangster movies. It could get entertaining if he decided to have his boys beat up Eric as a warning to Kimmie to behave and not interfere. I wonder if he will listen to Barkin… Did Barkin realize that he said that going after her dad or her brothers would be more effective (at least more survivable) than going after Hanna? Gonna have to stay tuned for this old-time gangster action.]

The Possible home:
"Kimberly, let us promise each other not to mention Stoppable again in that manner. Although the amount of money I lost was hardly significant, those in my family consider losing money in that fashion to be not noble."
"I understand Eric, but maybe when you are not included or invited to a courtroom, you should just stay away. You could have waited outside you know."
"I could not let you take on that judge by yourself…."
"I wasn't going to; I was there to see what was going to happen to Ron. The police took him out of school in handcuffs. Since we do the crime fighting together, I had to know if my teammate needed support."
"If law enforcement was worried about your friend, they would never have jailed him", Eric countered.
"Eric, good guys are held to a higher level than most people, otherwise no one would ever trust us", Kim revealed how she felt about being seen as above the law.
"I must go home and study tonight, Kimberly, we have end of year tests coming up and I wish to maintain the grade average that I am used to. My family expects it of me. Oh, I have decided to go to Cambridge and my family has secured your entrance into Kings College with me for the fall term. It is a very prestigious school. I think you will be challenged by the courses."
"Thanks boyfriend, I'll tell Dad and Mom where I will be spending the next four years", Kim leaned in and gave the suave 'teen' a peck on the lips.
"Good night, Kimberly", Eric responded.
The famous red head wrapped the 'English teen' in a massive hug, "I'll see you at school."

The Jar Head Diner:
The blond teen cook scanned the last orders as he set the plates up on the counter and yelled, "Table seven and table twelve UP."
Ron then looked over the next three plates and began assembling them as Mac returned with Amos (the new cook).
"Hey Mac, it's going smooth tonight. I might even be able to give munchkin her late bottle if this keeps up."
"Good Ron, this is Amos Canton. He's an experienced short order cook who loves the overnight shift. So, I want you to break him in on how we do things."
Ron elbow bumped the new guy as Mac continued, "He likes the long hours so you guys will both be pulling ten hour shifts from now on."
"Ron-san?", a well-remembered voice asked from a dark corner.
"Yori? What are you doing here?"
"Hai, we must leave on another mission."
"Yori, this is Mac and this is, uh, Amos, I just met him, but Mac is my boss", Ron explained.
"Mac-sensei, I am Yori a senior student at the Yamanouchi school in Japan. Ron-san is an honored student at Yamanouchi and has helped us in the past. He and I must go to a site off the coast of China and search for an artifact. A villain who wants to take over the world is trying to find the same object and if he finds it before we do there may be worldwide consequences which may be dire", the Japanese shinobi revealed.
"Well, if Mac gives me the time off, I can go."
Yori added, "We must notify your school…."
"No, we don't I got suspended today for defending myself in school, but if it's safe for Hanna I am not leaving her behind."
"I would love to see my neice again. Where is she?", Yori inquired not giving away that she was related to the child.
"This is a world saving thing isn't it Stoppable?", Mac inquired.
"We do not know yet, but it could very well be", Yori replied for Ron, "Stoppable-san to Yamanouchi is a warrior hero and, in some time, could very well become the savior of the world."
"Thanks for the pressure Yori…"
Mac responded, "Ron, you've got most of your shift in, Amos and I can take over. Let me know what is happening."
"Sure, thanks…"
"Semper Fi, and kick someone's ass. Don't worry about ass wipe Barkin. He was a paper pusher no matter what he says. Get your Sister and get outta here and fix whatever this thing is."
Ron snapped to, "Yes, Gunny, right away Gunny."
Our hero immediately ripped off his apron and said, "Yori, I'm going up to get Sis, I'll be right down."
Once the blond was out of sight the Japanese girl enlightened the Marine, "I was truthful, trusted elder, Ron-san is the warrior of light. The scrolls have referred to him as the traveler and it is suggested that he reincarnates through the ages…."
[Jimmy, it might seem a little odd, but I believe that Mac believes what Yori is telling him.]
(Larry here; Ron already gave his boss the 'heads up' about most of this.)
