Ah, and here we are again. Just a reminder, there are 99 chapters to this book and there will be a 3rd book (if I survive that is).
I want to thank everyone who has read , alerted, faved, followed and or reviewed this tale. Speaking about reviews this is where I answer some questions so here we go: CB73, yes the drama goes on tour. As we all know Kimmie is going to defer to her boyfriend. There was a reason that Annie went to Denver (plot device); Gj agent, if Yamanouchi understood about Eric and how he fits in there would be a target on his back.
Welp, that's all the reviews this time around.
I still want to thank my two betas CajunBear73 and Jimmy1201 for their help in getting this stuff out. CB did this chapter and Jimmy has the next one.
Lemme check to see if there are any scenes that could produce emotional trauma…..nah not in this chapter though next chapter will have some 'trauma'.
So, let's get this chapter on the road.
ST-103
The Hunter: Book Two
Chapter 61
Yamanouchi, Japan:
"Kimberly? What is this place we have traveled to? I want to be able to speak the language correctly.", Eric Thornbottom inquired as they stepped off the GJ hover jet. He was trying to hide his discomfort at being so close to the UN law enforcement agency.
"Japan, and since this all looks familiar so I would say this is the school Ron went to as an exchange student.", the heroine informed her boyfriend, "I've been here like once before…on a mission.", Kim hinted to her boyfriend.

A study area inside Yamanouchi:
Beep Beep de da Beep.
"Go Wade.", Ron responded to the call since he knew who was on the other end of the connection.
Wade chuckled, "Kim just arrived near your location with your best friend, I told her someone would meet them. They are at the aircraft you arrived on.", Wade informed his friend, "You might wanna send someone who has a thick skin to go out there and meet them. Good luck."
Ron warily asked, "Who came with Kim? Most of my friends are not abrasive…'cept for the turd in my back pocket."
"Eric…Again, good luck Ron, you'll need it he seems to be in annoying form. Try to keep the bloodletting to a minimum. I'll have them wait at the footbridge before they can cross it."
"Screw that arrogant retard, Wade, the only reason I won't off him is because it would annoy Kim and she'd gripe to me about till the cows came home. The people here don't care much for A-holes, they tend to make those disappear."
Sensei and Yori heard the whole conversation. Lord Tomishiru had a questioning look on his face, then instructed, "Antubi, please take someone and meet Miss Possible and whoever is accompanying her and try to pacify whoever tries to cause dissent…Oh, and blindfold this other person. Miss Possible has already been here so it will be unnecessary for her."
"After the bridge Sensei?"
"Yes, he may be too freaked out by the old footbridge. Make sure he is blindfolded immediately he crosses though.", Sensei instructed.
Antubi bowed and grinned at Ron, "How much to see if this person would like to view the bottom of the ravine, Stoppable-san?"
Our hero rolled his eyes, then advised his cohort in mayhem, "Kim would never forgive me. Just act like you don't speak English and he'll leave ya alone when his insults have no effect on your behavior."
Suzie Chin put her hands on her hips, "Antubi has been this way since he returned from America after working with you, we wish him changed back."
Sensei chuckled as he knew that this was just a minor disruption in 'The Force', "Your cousin needed to loosen up Chin-san, Stoppable-san aided him. You should be thankful now he is nearly as outgoing as Wang-san."
"Yeah, what the old guy said.", Ron snarked, "Anyway, the first time we sparred in the States he stuck a Sai through my forearm so you should be proud of him."
Wanda Wang smirked, "If this ignoramus insults me, he will see my blade."
The old Japanese master retorted as he heard Wanda's not-so-veiled threat towards someone she had never met before, "Stoppable-san you deeply wound this old man."
"It's all good Sensei, let's be cool.", Ron tapped two fingers on his chest in a 'rapper' salute like he did the first time he came to Yamanouchi.
The old man responded as he mimicked the salute, "Yo."
Antubi grinned and shook his head, 'Sensei enjoys being around Stoppable-san.'
After they left, Ron sniffed, then proclaimed, "Hey Sensei I think Sis needs some down time and a diaper change. I'm gonna get her outta here for a while. All this stuff is a little above my head anyway."
"Stoppable-san, do you not want to greet Possible-san?", the old man responded.
"Nah, I can only take so much of his prickiness per month and I'm at my limit for another five days.", the blond teen replied.
Sensei looked worried at his protégée and asked, "Is this because of his closeness to Kim-san my friend?"
"No, not really. What we had as kids was cool, but I guess a lot of young romances end up that way. No, this is the guy who always snarks on me. He took Mom and Dad's house and then when I was at a funeral dropped Hanna. Sure, she's durable, but she's still a baby…He's also put forth the idea that he would be a better parent to her and should adopt her away from me.", Ron explained, "So, as you can tell, I have several reasons to be annoyed with him."
(The ninja master bristled at this information….AN)
"You stay away from this young man because of my granddaughter?", Lord Toshimiru inquired.
"Yeah, I guess. Anyway, Kim is infatuated with this guy and he really doesn't want me around. Wade has told me that he keeps an eye on me though.", Ron informed the ancient ninja master.
"How so Ron-san?", Sensei asked as Yori raised an eyebrow.
"Wade said that he has the license numbers of his car and his house staff and occasionally they drive by the diner or Felix's house.", Ron explained.
Yori asked as she handed over the baby girl to her adoptive brother so he could perform some maintenance, "Why would Possible-san's boyfriend keep surveillance on you Ron-san?"
"I don't know, it could be jealousy…but I have no real idea. I mean he's this big time Noble, or his Dad is anyway. Me, I'm just a peon. The kid from the other side of the tracks who everyone picked on for most of his life.", the former mascot responded to the shinobi's question.
Sensei asked before Ron left, "What is this young man's Sir name?"
Ron thought for a moment since he didn't try to cross paths with the stuck up 'teen', "Uh, Thornbottom. He's Eric Thornbottom of The Thormbottoms. Why?"
"It is nothing, but I have run across that name before somewhere. Never mind, it will come to me.", Sensei told Ron.
With a shrug the blond teen exited the study room and walked to the room assigned to him for his stay at Yamanouchi.

Kim crossed her arms as she waited. Eric wanted to get a move on so he encouraged, "Kimberly, we should just go…"
The red head shook her head no, "Wade said that they would send someone. That bridge does not look completely safe, they might have another way around. We will wait to be met."
'Eric' sighed in annoyance, "Very well, you are the boss."
A couple moments later two people appeared at the other end of the footbridge and began to walk over it to the other side where Kim and 'Eric' waited.
The female motioned for Eric and Kim to stay where they were before walking across what looked to be a rickety footbridge. Neither the male nor the female used the ropes on either side for support. Of course, the first time Kim came here she didn't either.
The two Japanese bowed slightly to the teens. The female (Suzy) asked in poor English, "Miss Possible and guest I am Suzy Chin, and this is Antubi Narotu. Welcome to Yamanouchi. Sensei is waiting, please be forewarned, one of you has not been to the sacred mountain before and must be blindfolded to ensure our security."
"Huh?", 'Eric' asked, "Why do I have to be blindfolded, I am an honorable person."
Suzy smiled as she measured the 'teen' up, "Miss Possible has assisted Yamanouchi gaining the release of Sensei from a kidnapper, before whereas you have not. Fear not, Antubi will guide you to the gates."
Eric frowned, "And how do I know that he won't keep me from falling off the bridge. It doesn't look all that safe…"
Suzy smiled to herself as she thought, 'This one will be trouble, maybe I should just do Kim Possible a favor?'
Instead, she told him in broken English, "You do not, trust must be earned. What is your name so I may address you properly?"
"Eric, Eric Thornbottom of THE Thornbottoms.", the suave 'teen' responded.
"Ah,", Suzy now smirked to gauge his reaction, "Ahhh, Thormbottom, now that I think of it, Sensei has mentioned something about a family in England by that name once. You might be a distant relative…to a den of cutthroats and thieves, as Sensei put it."
Eric's mind did a 'brain fart' at that little bit of information then he realized that Suzy had butchered his supposed last name and corrected her as he crossed his arms to show his displeasure, "It is Thorn bottom and it is always referred to with praise and honor, please try to remember that Miss or I will take it up with your supervisor and have your employment curtailed."
Miss Chin smirked to herself, 'The fool thinks that he can get me fired. Sensei would rather I gut him and Wanda would just act out and slice his throat.'
Antubi stepped up, (Are you sure he doesn't need an accident Suzie-kun? I am sure that Stoppable-san would pay me a bonus if I eliminated this thorn in his side.)
Eric looked in annoyance at the two Japanese speaking Japanese in their homeland and crossed his arms over his chest, "That is rude…"
Suzie basically slapped the arrogant 'teen' back with enough force to surprise the 'English teen', "Maybe for you, but since my associate does not speak English, I think it is allowable for me to speak to him in the language he understands. You do understand that we are not standing in America at the moment or do you not understand that basic concept? Threatening people in their homeland could get you killed in some parts of the world."
Eric's arms were still crossed, "My family has done business in Japan before. Your people can be bought even if someone has to have the gangs do it for them."
Suzie frowned, "Do you mean the Yakuza?"
Eric nodded, "If that's what you call them…"
"They do not get in the way of 'The Mountain', beware dealing with them.", Suzie advised as her tone turned cold.
An arrogant 'Eric' sneered, "Again, you are telling me what to do. I have wasted my precious time come to here and bail out Kimberly's buffoon. I order you to take us to him or I swear I will make your life intolerable."
"Miss Possible, would you like to continue with my associate? I will take your friend back to his aircraft to ensure he is safe.", Suzie decided to see where this was going to go.
'Eric' paled, "But I am helping Kimberly! You can't do this!"
Kim sighed at her boyfriend, "Eric please let them put the blindfold on you after we get across the bridge. Please, as a favor to me?"
"Very well, as favor to you Kimberly, but Miss Chin you have not heard the end of this. I will take it up with your supervisor. I can see that customer satisfaction is not at the top of your list…"
Suzie got one last jab in, "We are not a consumer-based company junior, we are a security-based company with deep ties and a long-time association with the Japanese government that goes back a thousand years. We have stepped on toes before and we will again in the future if needed. Now let us proceed, I would like to make my appointment in the baths before I retire."
Antubi grinned and motioned for 'Eric' to follow him. The Japanese man who had accompanied Ron Stoppable on the blond teen's quest for retribution against Kim Possible's enemies walked across the now swaying path over the ravine. (AN…It was a game that Yamanouchi students played in their youth when they were sure none of the adults were around…of course Sensei knew all about this as it had been going on for centuries.)
Kim waited alongside Suzie as the two males made their way across the bridge. The red head commented as she watched her boyfriend holding onto the side ropes for dear life, "I sure don't remember it swaying that much."
"Antubi is sending a message to your companion in an effort to get his attention.", Ms Chin observed. Then seeing the two males finish their walk over the chasm she continued, "It's our turn."
XXX
The blond teen finished with the tyke's diaper and clothing change, "I really need to get you a bath lil intruder. You are starting to get ripe."
Ron then smelled himself, "Lord I'm starting to get ripe."
There was a rap on the door frame of the room. Ron called out, "Enter, I'm decent…so is Hanna."
The door slid open and Yori entered with a bow, (I have been informed that Kim-san and her companion are on the way to the gate Ron-san. Do you wish to meet them?)
(Ahhh, no Yori. Kim's still allergic to me and I don't want her to get too close and have a reaction. Anyway, I figure Sis is about ready to burn off some energy. She's getting a little restless and you should know, when she gets like that, she can destroy things.), Ron explained.
(I understand that Miss Possible has a type 'A' personality, but what is the real reason you do not wish to meet with her Ron-san?)
(Like I said she is allergic to me. But, I do not like her new boyfriend. I think he doesn't like me and like I said before he has already dropped Hanna once and tried to frame me for it when I wasn't even in the same town. I for sure don't trust him with Sis. Kim is oblivious and is overwhelmed with her hottie and I am sure she will take his side over mine. Anyway, it is easier for me to deal with all this horse crap of I just stay away from her…I have to wear this suit to be close to her…because of the allergies and I'm kinda sick of it. The damned thing is hotter than you'd believe.). Ron then pulled the hood over his head to demonstrate then stored it again.
(It looks extremely uncomfortable Ron-san.)
The former Middleton Mascot explained, (The suit is hotter than hell, Yori. It's warm as it is with the hood and gloves off, but when I get close to Kim, I have to zip it tight, so my cooties don't get on her.)
(Cooties?), Yori giggled, (You and your American style jokes. At least you are healing from the loss of your parents and Rufus-san.)
Ron shrugged, (I do miss Mom and Dad, but Rufus kept me grounded. I suppose Sis has taken over that job. I'm gonna take Hanna out and read to her a little. Do you want to come or does Sensei have another job for you to do?)
(I came to see if you wanted to meet Kim-san as I have stated.), Yori replied.
(Have fun with her and her boyfriend, but Hanna and I are gonna do a little down time for a while.), Ron grinned as he picked up his sister, her bag and headed to the sliding door.

The ninja master bowed to the two teens and said to them, "Please sit Miss Possible and companion, I have ordered refreshments."
Kim bowed before she sat, "Thank you sir."
The grey-haired ninja master instructed his assistant, (Antubi, would you please go check on the Chosen One and his sister. I know Yori-kun has left to do so, but she has so many irons in the fire so to speak and Ron-san has grown a spine now, so I think he may find a way of not meeting Miss Possible.)
The young man bowed, (As you wish Sensei, I have the experience to nag on him after all we have been through together.)
(Good, nag him a little extra for me.), Sensei chuckled.
The American heroine and her assistant watched the interaction although neither saw a figure in a dark corner.
"Sensei is it possible that I will be able to speak with Ron?", the auburn-haired heroine asked as she held a cup of hot tea to her lips while 'Eric' shifted his position on the mat. He, also, had a cup of tea and the sitting like this was not kind to his non-teenaged body.
"I have sent Yori to him, he has taken his sister away to let her unwind and relax a little.", the old ninja master informed her.
'Eric' frowned, "Why don't you have someone to take us to see him."
"If he does not come here, I will do that, please be patient young man. Life goes slowly here at Yamanouchi we are not as fast-paced as you are in the United States of America."
Eric thought he could lean on the 'old man' to get him to do his bidding and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
The white-haired ninja master half smiled behind his beard, "You think highly of yourself. I once met an Englishman by the name of Thornbottom who felt much the same way about himself. Are you related by any chance?"
'Eric/Hans' paused for a moment so he could weigh his words since the old man seemed to be probing him, "Of course we must be related Mister Sensei, at least distantly. Although my illustrious family is not large, there are several branches. I come from the major one you understand, and I do not know all the members of the Thornbottom family."
'Evasive, I wonder what that young man is hiding? Considering his family, and his background he should know who is who in his family.', Sensei asked himself as Yori returned. (AN…Sensei did know a family by that name…he had been around a long, long time and had met people of varying degrees of hero and villain.)
"Is Ron-san available at the moment Yori-kun?", Sensei inquired of his granddaughter as she bowed.
"Ron-san is finishing cleaning Hanna-kun up. Then he is going to get her burn some steam off, then read to her. He stated, 'If Sis doesn't burn off some energy, I will not be held responsible for the destruction of Yamanouchi, so don't expect me to pay for it.'.", the young shinobi responded as she returned to the standing position.
'Eric' pointed at Sensei, "I demand to see that child to make sure she hasn't been mistreated…"
Yori turned to face the arrogant 'teen', "I have been informed that you dropped the child while she was under your care Mister Thornbottom. Is that so?"
Wide-eyed, Kim remembered the skills Yori had shown before and caught the hint of danger in the other female's eyes. She told her, "Eric did, but we have determined it was an accident, Yori. Eric is only concerned about her welfare…"
Yori turned her head to Kim to stare at her, "Ron-san also has informed me that Hanna-kun was almost forcibly adopted by your boyfriend Kim-san. Is that true?"
"I…I was doing homework at the time. Ron had to attend a funeral for one of his friends in another town, but yeah Eric did drop her…B…but Eric said she was wiggling around, and Hanna can be a handful…but yeah, Eric felt that he and his family would be a better place for Hanna to grow up. I'm not sure that is the case though, but they have more than adequate resources to care for her."
Yori then whipped her head around to 'Eric'. "Is that true?", she hissed, "I can tell if you are lying…I can also reveal that I am a relative of the baby. And if I find out that she was hurt on purpose, I will take action that will remedy how you will live your life from now on…"
'Eric' began to sweat as Sensei stepped in front of his Granddaughter and commanded, "Yori-kun, please do not threaten our guests, I am sure he would never do anything to injure a small child on purpose. For if he did, I would kill him myself before he could move. I detest abusers of all forms."
Kim caught the look between the two Japanese when another old Japanese male who had hid in a darkened corner stated, "Miss Possible there are special security personnel here at Yamanouchi. They were the ones who rescued you, and there is gossip from several members, that they know who killed the people who captured you."
"Then why did you need Eric and I to come?"
"Neither I nor Sensei made the request; your tech person made that request. I believe it originated with Global Justice…I think the words were that they had an investment into Ron Stoppable and wanted to make sure he was secure for some reason.", Master Umestsu informed them, "But you would have to speak with Doctor Load to see where the order originated from. All Yamanouchi did was seek the assistance of Ronald Stoppable-san."
"But you knew that Ron would get some help…"
The weapons master shook his head, "We were informed after the fact Miss Possible, believe it or not our personnel at Yamanouchi is very security conscious to the extreme. You have heard of what happened to your foes on that island during the winter have you not?"
The red head responded, "I have been told that they were all killed. Are you saying that your people did all that?"
"Of course.", Master Umestsu informed her.
"T…that was murder.", Kim accused.
The weapons master countered, "My people were outnumbered and the people on the island were armed with automatic weapons…And they had already injured you if you remember. My people reported being targeted, by Jones' men…According to my people when they entered the operations center there was a discussion on what to do with you and your companion…I highly doubt if there would have been a good outcome for you."
"Yeah, but I don't know how they knew we were there.", Kim wondered out loud.
('Eric' cringed)
Sensei sighed, "In hindsight I now think that we should have kept one or two people alive so that we could interrogate them."
Master Umestsu chuckled, "I know of no way to reincarnate any of them. Dead is dead."
Sensei now smiled, "Except for the traveler and his companion you mean."
Kim looked confused, "Reincarnate? Do you mean bring back to life?"
Sensei nodded, "There are spirits in the world which have that ability Miss Possible. I also know of one who has lived what you would call a very long life. All three of those have been behind these walls as well as someone who can see the future to some extent."
Eric began to guffaw, "Reincarnation…People who can see the future…Kimberly we are wasting our time with these idiots. I suggest we go home after you meet with the clown."
Kim frowned, "Maybe we should, but then when we get back you might be called in to the principal's office. I would think that you might wanna stay away so that they can forget you trying to punch out a girl in school."
'Eric's' eyes widened, "I take that back although I do not feel that I would be given punishment for something I was pushed into…"
Sensei inquired, "May I ask what you are accused of doing Mister Thornbottom?"
"It was nothing…"
Kim laughed, "Trying to hit Justine Flanner twice but missing and hitting Felix wasn't cool. He's in a wheelchair you know."
Sensei asked, "Do you mean Mister Renton Miss Possible?"
"Uh yeah, how do you know him?"
"I have spoken with Mister Renton previously. He is a friend of Stoppable-san. And having spoken with my protégée about you Mister Thornbottom I have to question if you are targeting my young friend's family and classmates.", Sensei pointed out as he turned serious.
(Sensei we are invaded.), shouted a young student ran into the study room where the ninja master was standing.
(Invaded my friend, how?)
(Master Sukori has identified him as Fiske. He has a small army of monkeys with him.), the student informed Sensei as he bowed lowly after giving the information.
The weapons master sprang to his feet, (I will blunt the attack Sensei.)
Yori bowed, (I will apprise the situation and the seer…)
"No, notify Stoppable-san, we may have need of his skills Yori-kun. Miss Possible and assistant, please follow me.", Sensei's tone brooked no question to be asked.
'Eric's' eyes opened wide in alarm as the weapons master drew two swords from his sash and ran towards the door. "T…t...those are real…swords!"
Sensei nodded, "And there may be real blood in a short while. You will be safer with me than anywhere else. Please hurry."

"PAGE! "
SLAP
Ron chuckled as he kept his hand away from the pages in the book he was reading to Hanna Stoppable.
The former mascot pointed, "Dancing bear. Page Hanna."
"PAGE!", the tyke giggled.
SLAP
This time the book went flying over forty feet. Ron hopped up on his feet and jogged over to the damaged book. "Hanna, your right hook is downright vicious. Dad would be proud tough it might be a little overkill."
After the blond teen retrieved the book, he saw Antubi Narotu jogging up to the tyke. With a grin, Ron ran towards his friend. "What's up?", the former mascot asked his partner in crime.
"Fiske and his monkey brigade are attacking the compound. Sensei sent me. We need your support.", Antubi responded.
"Okay, but you haveta watch Sis if I'm gonna butt heads with Monkey Freak.", Ron replied as he picked up Hanna.

Master Umestsu struck at the ten monkey ninjas that had surrounded him with both swords as ole Monty laughed, "Hold the fools off while I make the summon."
As Sensei arrived with Kim and her beau in tow Lord Fiske shouted as he held out an amulet from around his neck, "Yono the Destroyer I call you to this plane. COME FORTH!"
There was a slight rumbling which began to grow larger as the light began to grow dim. In the courtyard of Yamanouchi, the Earth began to shake and move away leaving a shallow depression.
A small being also began to appear. When it coalesced, it was the form of a monkey in a Kung Fu Gi. In a deep baritone voice as it asked as it put its hands into the sleeves of its jacket, "WHO SUMMONS YONO THE DESTROYER to this realm?"
Lord Montgomery Fiske a.k.a Monkey Fist stood proudly before the simian, "I, Monkey Fist, have summoned you, now you must grant me the power I deserve, demon."
The Yono nodded, "VERY WELL 'MONKEY FIST', WHAT DO I GET IN RETURN FOR GRANTING YOU THIS POWER?"
Ole Monty thought for a moment, "You get the Han if I get the power!"
Ron Stoppable had heard that and something clicked in his mind and he froze as his eyes narrowed, 'Han? Does Monkey butt think he is going to give away my sister? The Lotus Blade is gonna gut someone fucking fast.'
"VERY WELL!", a golden beam of light shot out from the monkey demon's eyes and engulfed the monkey enhanced kung fu expert.
Monkey Fist made to move towards the weapons master when Ron muttered, "Hang onto Hanna and hold my beer. It's times to see if I'm as good as Sensei thinks I am."
Antubi grabbed onto Hanna Stoppable tight and backed off to give his friend some room.
The former mascot's eyes narrowed as the wannabe monkey king turned away from Master Umestsu (who was now injured and bleeding from his belly) from a monkey ninja he fought with one katana while blocking with another.
Monkey Fist sprinted towards our hero and tried to nail him with a flying sidekick. Ron Stoppable leaned back then spun hammering his foe in the back with a push kick in the back as ole Monty flew by. The enhanced marital artist landed in a heap.
Rolling over Monkey Fist screamed, "Attack the buffoon!"
Nodding at Antubi, Sensei stopped with Kim and Eric behind him. Yori also rushed up and whipped out her fighting fans and stepped in front of her grandfather.
(Step back from this and keep Hanna-kun safe, Antubi-san.), Sensei instructed as he stepped forward to engage the English Lord.
Kim shouted over the din, "Sensei do you need my help?"
As he moved in to engage the English Lord, Sensei responded, "Stay with Yori-kun and only act if things do not go in our favor."
The white-haired old man bowed slightly to his opponent and smirked, "Your move, Lord Fisk."

Kim glanced at Yori as Eric began to back up away from the confrontation. He did not want to get involved in what looked to be violence run amuck and get the chance of being injured. The red-head asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"Please Miss Possible, stay with me as a last line of defense to protect Hanna-kun.", she glanced around her and continued, "And your companion as well. There are safety in numbers. We stay together and fight as a block."
Master Umestsu dragged himself over to Antubi and the others. Yori could see that the weapons master was bleeding out and asked, "Miss Possible, you are trained in first aid, are you not?"
"I am a volunteer EMT.", Kim confirmed.
"Good, Master Umestsu needs assistance. Take care of that for now and get him over by your helper."
Kim went over to the ninja master and removed the twin katanas from his grasp and opened up his kimono to see how bad the damage was.
XX
The blond teen spun and twisted as he parried, avoided and struck at his simian opponents. Although sweating, our hero was making a significant dent in the opposing forces until one of the monkeys slashed at Ron's belly with a wakizashi grazing the teen and causing it to bleed. For the howler monkey the elation didn't last long as a glowing katana appeared in the Mad Dog's hand and half a moment later the monkey's head was rolling around on the ground.
Eric witnessed the brutal end to the simian and almost brought it to Kim's attention when a star zipped by his ear.
Eric was more interested in self-preservation than just about anything else other than making money and decided that if he spoke up, he might make himself a target so he kept his mouth shut.
Kim ripped open her backpack and yanked out her substantial first aid kit and grabbed some gauze to stem the bleeding and instructed Master Umestsu to keep pressure on as she turned and yelled to Eric, "Help me move him back. Then I want you to watch him."

Sensei was gaining the upper hand with ole Monty. The Yono could see how this fight was going to end and commanded Fiske, "STEP AWAY."
Blinking, the wannabe 'King' did as he was instructed just as Sensei was hit by a golden beam from Yono the Destroyer's eyes turning the ninja master into a petrified statue.
Seeing his opportunity, Fiske began to sprint towards the child.
Just as that happened the last monkey ninja went down with two missing arms.
Ron felt 'something' in the force so to speak and snapped his head towards Sensei and screamed, "NOOOOOOOO!"
With speed few could match, the Chosen One of Yamanouchi took an 'angle of pursuit' and cut the deranged villain off before he could get to Yori, Antubi and the rest.
The monkey villain put his hands up to show he wasn't armed, "I see you have mastered the Lotus Blade buffoon, that is well done, but you should just give it to me as well as the child…If you do so I will spare your life."
"Always ready to talk outta your ass, aren't you monkey freak?", Ron edged closer so he could end this quickly.
"Do you want the same thing to happen to you that happened to that old fool. The Yono is a monkey demon. And if I command it, he will take procession of your body and soul and you will be his slave until the end of time."
The blond teen smirked as the as the glowing azure sword disappeared with a 'pop'. "I think I like my chances here monkey freak since I've kicked your mangy ass for the last few years. Oh, just kinda look around and count how many of your allies are left standing. This ain't no Disney show, ya know."
Sigh, "Very well Ronald, you won't hold it against me if I kill you and then dance on your body, will you?"
"Not at all, since that was your goal originally, but just to let you know that I have had a bad few months and I might just shove my hand down your throat and rip your lungs out before you croak to give you something to think about before you go to meet your monkey ninjas in the great beyond.", Ron retorted.
"To the death, then?", Fiske inquired.
Ron frowned and nodded, "It's the only way to end this."
"I do not have a weapon, Ronald…"
"I'll keep the Blade outta this, let's do it, I'm getting bored."
The blond teen then glanced at the statue of Sensei and gave him a mental salute and hoped this would come out all right.
