Life really dragged without Ron around. She woke exceptionally early everyday hoping that Ron would appear at her door as usual to walk with her to school, and everyday she was disappointed. Monique became Ron’s substitute to walk Kim to school but it was not what she wanted.
But, of course, losing someone doesn’t mean you have to diss-out everyone else, so she had to accept Monique’s kind effort.
Going out on missions were never the same again. Although Wade did not attempt to get Kim a new partner, she still felt empty inside. Even if she did complete the mission, she still thought that this job is undone without Ron. Rufus and Tanya were a big help towards her mission, but it was still not enough.
One day, when she was lazily sipping her soda in Buenos Nacho, her Kimmunicator beeped. She didn’t attempt to pick it up. What’s the use? She would only go to another boring mission as a Lone Ranger anyway. Rufus took the call instead.
“Rufus? Is that you? Get Kim on the Kimmunicator,” Wade’s voice sounded urgent.
Rufus stole a glance at Kim. She shook her head, refusing to answer the call. Rufus turned back to Wade and shook his head, saying, “Uh-uh. Uh-uh. No talk, no talk.”
“Kim, you gotta stop wallowing in self-pity!” Wade urged. “Pick up the Kimmunicator, Kim. You have an urgent mission to complete.”
Kim finally sighed and took the Kimmunicator from Rufus and said weakly, “Alright, Wade. What’s the sych?”
“Monkey Fist has escaped. He was supposed to be relocated in a mental institute in Colorado but on the way, he trashed the driver, the security who went with him and broke out of the van. He is now heading to China.”
“So?” Kim asked uninterestedly.
“He is going to fulfill the prophecy, that’s so! Or in his case, rewrite the prophecy. I don’t know how he did it, but he had found out about the prophecy. He found out about Ron! Kim, he is going to kill Ron if you don’t go there!”
Kim was immediately alert. It has been almost a month since she seen him and now that Monkey Fist is on the loose, he will be able to lead her to her beloved Ron! She brought the Kimmunicator close to her and said, “Get me the fastest transport to China A.S.A.P!”
“Already did,” Wade smiled as he clicked the keyboard.
Soon, Kim found herself whisking away on a jet plane to the East.
Monkey Fist was standing on a skyscraper of Beijing, the central town of China. He looked pretty nasty and upset, and he definitely was upset about something.
“This cannot be happening! I was to be the Ultimate Monkey Ninja, not that blonde monkey-phobic loser! It was supposed to be me! Not him! It’s not fair!”
As he looked down to the busy road below, his heart boiled even more. He couldn’t believe that the prophecy (he assumed) was meant for him could be taken away by the blonde who had defeated him twice in a row. He swore that he would kill this blonde and rewrite the prophecy to make it his.
“Come on, Ron Stoppable, you and I have a serious prophecy to correct.” Monkey Fist rubbed his palms with glee as he planned deliciously on how to destroy Ron.
“I am here, Monkey Fist.”
Monkey Fist turned around to see Ron standing behind him, his long, blonde hair billowing like a bright hood over his head by the wind. He had his black ninja suit on, and his hazel-brown eyes reflected by the moon were cold and expressionless.
“Nice hair-do, Ron,” Monkey Fist said sarcastically. “Or should I say, ‘Ultimate Monkey Ninja’. I wonder who did the hair for you. Kim Possible, I presume?”
“I don’t know who this Kim Possible is,” Ron replied as he struck a ninja pose, “but I know that you are going to ruin the prophecy for your own benefits. Prepare to meet your doom, Monkey Fist.”
“I was about to say the same thing about you,” Monkey Fist grinned as he struck a pose himself. As they glared at each other, they knew that their fight has begun.
Kim got off the jet as soon as she reached the plains of China. She hitched a ride to Beijing on a chicken truck. Once she got there, she took out the Kimmunicator and said, “Wade, any idea which part of Beijing are they?”
“Hang on, let me check,” Wade replied as he clicked his keyboard. A few seconds later, he said, “I got it, Kim. The police HQ of Beijing noted a disturbance at the east-west of Beijing, on one of their skyscrapers. It’s the one with the logo of a fish.”
“Thanks, Wade,” Kim thanked him and rushed towards the east-west. As she went further and deeper into the east-west city of Beijing, she saw a crowd of people looking up at a skyscraper. Kim looked up too. It was the skyscraper she was looking for: the one with a fish logo. She pushed her way through and jet up to the top. Monkey Fist and Ron were quite surprised to see her.
“Kim Possible!” Monkey Fist hissed in contempt.
“You again!” Ron exclaimed.
“You going back behind bars, Monkey Fist,” Kim said as she removed the jet propeller from her shoulders. “Hello, Ron…I mean, Wang Ching.”
“Ooh, the duo is back again. Kim possible and his faithful sidekick Ron Stoppable,” Monkey Fist grinned sarcastically as he pounced onto Ron. Kim jumped over to help but was pushed away by Ron.
“Go away, woman. This is my fight,” Ron said. Kim wanted to protest but Ron glared back at her with his cold hazel-brown eyes.
Kim was forced to cower away as they fought vigorously in combat. Face-punching and butt-kicking ensured. It was really hectic. Kim was surprised at the sudden agility and strength Ron had. He seemed so different than the original Ron. Monkey Fist and Ron were quite equal in strength but it seemed as if Monkey Fist has the upper hand. It was obvious that Ron was still new to his powers and still adjusting to them. Monkey Fist had him pinned to the steel floor of the skyscraper, dangerously on the edge of the skyscraper, ready to plant a heavy death blow onto his fair throat.
Kim had to do something. She had to help him before Ron becomes a dead legend. She looked up and saw the lightning pole on the top most of the skyscraper. With her cheerleading skills, she leapt at a thrice towards the skyscraper and reached the top at no time at all. She took out a laser rifle and aimed it at the lightning pole. She quickly shot at the pole and within seconds, the pole came off and started falling…
Right on target. The pole fell on whom she wanted: Monkey Fist. He was knocked unconscious and started slipping down to the edge. Ron quickly grabbed Monkey Fist by the collar, pulled him up and used one of his ninja gadgets and tied him up. Kim came down from the high spot and took it from there. It was hard to tell the police what had happened and requesting them to take Monkey Fist to Colorado as soon as possible, but Ron helped her to translate. Kim was pretty awed at how fluent Ron was in Chinese.
After the incident died down, Ron went to Kim and said, “Thanks for helping me out.”
“No biggie,” Kim replied. “Hey, we can make a great team, you know. You and I…”
Kim was hoping that she can get back together with him during missions even if they won’t be together in real life.
Ron shook his head and looked away, his hazel-brown eyes cold and determined, “I am Wang Ching, the legendary Ultimate Monkey Ninja. My work is solitary. Goodbye.”
Kim grabbed hold of Ron’s sleeve and said, “Can we at least…well, have dinner together for a while? I mean…I really want to be your friend.”
Ron looked at her with that I-don’t-need-friends look on his face.
“I won’t bug you or anything. I won’t ask you to be a team again,” Kim pleaded. “I just want to be with you a while…I just…don’t want to be alone tonight.”
Ron stared long and hard at the auburn-haired girl grasping firmly on his sleeve, not wanting to let go. ‘Who is this girl that keeps on hanging on to me?’ he thought. ‘What does she exactly want from me? Just to be friends or for a certain reason? What is going through her mind right now?’
Finally he sighed and said, “Alright, woman. Just this once.”
Kim smiled and said, “Wait for me at the nearest beach. I’ll get the dinner ready!”
Before Ron could ask why the beach, Kim has already dashed off to a seafood restaurant.
