Ron Stoppable's fingers slid across the keys on his laptop as he sat at the kitchen table in the Rockwaller home. It seemed odd that he and Kim hadn't been called for a mission for several days. The redhead was positively hyper with the need to release some of her energy and had poured more energy into her cheer practices and the many clubs she sat as chair-person for. While he was the official Mad Dog mascot he wasn't often needed at practice, like today, and so had returned to Bonnie's house to finish his homework and look over his list of projects.
The production of the Bebe-bots had been postponed as he researched the highly advanced Hephaestus Project that Connie had been working on with the scientists at Middleton's research center. It was a massive undertaking for him to understand the subtle nuances and mathematics of the formula's used to create an artificial life form that would grow and change depending on the command signal it received. In the wrong hands a creation such of this would have been disastrous and Ron had been forced to swear he would do nothing with the research until Mr. Dr. P had gone over his notes and ideas of what he wanted to do.
While he had thought of using the Attitudinator he still had stashed in his closet for a way to turn villains into good guys, he had completely scrapped the project on the insistence of his moral code. While the idea of turning all of the mad scientists and super thieves in the world into kindhearted people working toward the betterment of mankind rather then themselves certainly seemed like a good idea on paper, he knew that something like that had to be a persons choice. Which was why he planned on using the device for a second time on his cousin, Shawn, to return him to the small bully he was before.
His brown eyes flickered to the time at the bottom of the computer and he sighed. It was time for his daily katas to work on his mad-fu skills and then meditate on the events of the day to see what he could have done better. Standing, he walked up the stairs to get into the black gi he had been gifted and Yamanuchi and then head out to the Rockwaller's backyard.
The day was Wednesday, nearly half a week into his stay at the Rockwaller's home as requested by the three sister's mother Donnie. Bonnie was still at cheer practice and Connie was at work putting her brain to the task of the next big project the company would be working on. Lonnie had taken off the day before with some of her famous friends, most of whom Ron remembered from various missions throughout the years. Donnie was at her second job for the day working the second shift as a hostess at one of the more upscale restaurants in Upperton. Her first job was a part time veterinarian at the Middleton Zoo where she got to work with all kinds of animals, even those furry freaks of nature known as Monkeys.
Ron though had found himself studying the little tailed monsters more closely however as he noticed that many of their movements and actions were actually quicker movements of his own katas. It seemed that Mystical Monkey Power and its martial art were based on the furry terrors natural movements combined with the freakish strength of their cousins in the ape family. Ron still wasn't able to physically tap into what he called the MMP though due to his own fear of the creatures the power actually came from.
Life with the Rockwallers was interesting to say the least, though they tried to act like nothing was going on to the outside world. Brick Flagg had been arrested for the actions he had talked Bonnie into taking with him. While the sixteen year old had never had sex with Middleton High's former quarterback, it turned out that their dates had usually ended with a lot of heavy petting. It was clear what Mr. Barkin thought of the accusations as he had the twenty year old removed from the football team in his absence and was holding tryouts for a new quarterback.
Nothing in the hallways seemed to have changed much however. The cheer squad had become a more solid unit around Bonnie and she still held her position of Queen B, however she seemed to be snapping at people much more often. The heated glares she shared with Kim were becoming the thing of legend when the two would argue about a routine and Ron was just happy that he managed to get out practice today to work on his homework. The Mad Dog costume was proudly displayed in Connie's bedroom that he was staying in and ready to use however.
Slowly he went through the movements taught to him by Master Sensei at the super secret ninja school hidden in the mountains of Japan. Beside him was Rufus, his naked mole rat buddy, who was already using a more advanced form of Tai Seng Pek Kwar much to Ron's annoyance. Rufus didn't have his fear of monkeys and so was able to use the Mystical Monkey Power he had been exposed to much easier than Ron could, using the ancient power to learn the movements at a more advanced speed.
He was brought out of his musing as his new cellphone rang. He didn't have a Kim-municator yet and vowed to make a Ron-municator someday... after he came up with a better name that was. Dropping out of his current stance he turned to Rufus and bowed quickly to the more experienced martial artist before running to his phone which he had set on a nearby lawn chair.
"Hello?"
"Ron, its Wade. We have a problem," the voice of the young heavy set computer tech preteen said through the phone. "We got on a hit on the site that some secret government lab has been raided."
"Aw man. Why did it have to be a secret government lab? Why can't we ever get calls about movie projectors not turning on," Ron whined even as he began to walk into the house, Rufus running up his pants leg to sit on his shoulder. "Government labs usually involve dead lasers and me getting hurt!"
"Hazards of being a teenage hero I guess," Wade said. Ron could hear him typing furiously on the other end of the line. "You know, we really need to get you a communicator so I can just web cam rather than have to the phone to my ear."
"I know, right! I was going to work on one just as soon as I could come up with a name. All these calls to my phone are running up the bill," Ron pouted.
"Anyway, I've got you a ride lined up with GJ, they should be arriving soon," the younger boy said.
"Oh man, this is awesome! I can try out my new mission outfit," Ron's expression suddenly turned happy. "I'll talk to you later, Wade."
Hanging up Ron ran up the stairs to Connie's room in order to get dressed in his new mission clothes and get outside to meet the GJ transport.
"You know, KP, who would have thought the Trans-Dimensional Vortex Inducer would be stolen again," Ron said as they traveled from the lab to Drakken's latest lair. The evil blue man seemed to like to switch between three different lairs so they had just looked for the one with the most recent power usage thanks to Wade's hacking skills and found the location easy enough.
"Its seriously of the weird," Kim said as she stared at the Algebra textbook in her lap with a notebook sitting open on the seat beside her. "I mean, who would want to risk opening a reality warping black hole the size of Nevada? You would have thought Drakken had learned his lesson last year when he was fighting with Professor Dementor."
"Ah, the Man Ring," Ron said with a sigh as he remembered his overly sized muscles he had sported during the time. "I kind of miss that thing actually. Do you think if I had it Barkin would let me be the quarterback?"
"Somehow I doubt it. He's disliked you ever since ninth grade, remember? The Funny Look incident," she said putting emphasis on the name of the strange story that Ron had told her a million times.
"Oh yeah, haha. Now I remember," he admitted rubbing the back of his neck.
"So, why aren't you doing your homework? Its a long trip to Drakken's lair this time," his best friend since pre-K asked.
"I did it after school. No more losing my homework assignments on missions, Kim. I think if I did Connie would string me up by my shoelaces," the blonde said with a shrug.
A static noise from the speaker on the wall alerted the two to the captain about to make a message.
"This is your captain speaking. We are reaching the departure point and you two will be jumping in one minute and counting."
"Aw man, I hate jumping out of planes," Ron complained as he stood up and slid on his parachute, checking his ripcords to make sure it was actually his parachute and not his backpack like he had done in the past. "Its the heights, I can never get over them."
Kim tucked her long red hair under her helmet as she moved to the door and flung it open to let the roaring noise of the plane moving at such high speeds fill the cargo hold. "Come on Ron, it isn't that bad. The thrill of the dive is just so invigorating!"
"Yeah, are we sure your KP and not Adrena Lynn," the Stoppable son asked as he moved to stand beside her and looked down toward the Earth below. He could just make out the lights from Drakken's villainous fortress standing high atop the mountain peak. "You'd think after how many times we've busted in here, he'd stop coming back," he pointed out.
"No one but Drakken has ever accused of him of being all that smart," Kim said before she dived out the plane and let the gravity of the planet below guide her back toward its surface.
"Man," Ron floundered for a second and took a quick peak at the side pocket of his new camouflage pants to see Rufus wearing a miniature helmet and a pair of goggles. "Well at least your ready buddy." Taking a deep breath, Ron jumped out of the plane to follow behind his redheaded friend, pulling his parachute almost immediately to slow his descent.
Well, that hadn't gone how he had hoped. Ron looked around wondering just where he could possibly have ended up. They had arrived at Drakken's lair to fall into what was apparently a trap-trap, as the 'evil genius' called it. Only Drakken seemed to have somehow hooked his laser weapon into his cable box, creating a portal into the television that had stolen Ron's pants before he could go after them.
He was somewhere familiar he knew that judging by the trees of the forest that he had found himself in. He could hear running water nearby and decided to make his way to it, only to feel something bumping against his leg. Confused and a bit alarmed he looked down and found a familiar white hilt glinting in the sunlight poking through the canopy overhead.
"Hey cool! The Lotus Blade! I must be somewhere in Japan," he said excitedly and began to search for any signs of hidden ninja surrounding him. Maybe the Vortex inducer had sent him to some reality show across the Pacific and he could get help from Master Sensei and Yori! "Oh! I could see Yori! Man I bet she can't wait to get a look at the new and improved Ron-man," he said excitedly as he began to run toward the sound of water.
He slid to a halt though as he came across a woman face down on the bank of a what turned out to be a flowing river. Rushing to her side he quickly rolled her over and took in her dark blue hair, certainly not a natural hair color he would think, that was tied high on her head in a messy ponytail. She wore a loose fitting red kimono that only went to her thigh and a white sash that held her sheathed sword. He could see white bandages around her upper body as well as a spot on her side that bleeding freely. He quickly put pressure on her wound to stem the flow of blood and tried to see if he could recognize her from anything. Her arms were covered in black forearm guards with blue gloves on underneath. She was also wearing blue stockings and a pair of sandals and bandages over her ankles.
"Man, you must of run afoul of someone mean," Ron said as he leaned his rather large ear toward the girls lips to check for breathing. He sighed with relief when he felt the faintest of breaths tickle his ear. "Woo, that's alright, no need to perform CPR, check. Alright, lets get you fixed up," he said reaching into his parachute bag that he was still wearing and pulled out a first aid kit. "Here we go, this will get you fixed up in a jiffy!"
Author's Note: I'm back! Took me a little longer to get to this story but I thought it would work out pretty well especially if I dived in during the episode Dimension Twist, where everyone gets sucked into various TV shows. With the first few chapters meant to show Ron's mental advance after accepting his Bad Boy side, this section will go to pushing his physical advancing. Also with this being fanfiction, I don't have to follow the television shows of that particular episode and can have Ron, Drakken, Shego, Kim and Rufus appear wherever I want. So, Ron is now in an Anime. The others are about somewhere in TV and will be making their way towards Ron and his show throughout the coming chapters.
