-Deal with the Devil Pt.2-

All three figures gaped at the humongous robot standing in front of them. It was easily at least 10 feet tall. It had a humanoid shape, with glowing red eyes: its body was painted black with strange symbols painted on its legs and the side of his arm. It had what appeared to be pistols the size of a bazooka strapped to the side of its thighs and then there was the shield on its forearm and a knife its hand… well, Ron couldn't call it a knife because its size was comparable to that of a katana.

It was at least four feet long, but compared to the robot's body it looked like a knife.

Ron studied the robot for any weakness.

It certainly had a tough body going by the fact that it had no scratches after tearing the whole kitchen wall apart. Now, all that was left was a gaping hole on the side of the house. The robot had both mid-range, and short-range capabilities and Ron guessed that it was built for close combat and mid-range combat.

It was a cannon fodder made to go on the front lines.

"How the fuck are we supposed to take that down?" Shego asked, flaring her power more.

"I do not think I have a weapon big enough for the job," Yori commented, eliciting a snort from Shego.

"Shego, get you head out of the gutter," Ron warned before she had the chance to continue while he kept on gazing at it. "It's made out of titanium." He finally concluded. "But the knife is made out of Adamantium; that stuff is nearly indestructible and extremely rare," he mused out.

"What does it mean for us?" Shego asked, getting into a wide stance her body relax waiting to see who made the first move. She didn't have to wait long when the robot began to charge at them its knife held in a reverse grip.

"It means stay away from the sharp end. Go for the body; the knife is nearly indestructible, and I have a feeling that the shield is made out of that same stuff as the knife." Ron shouted jumping out of the way. He threw Yori back her borrowed Sais and yelled, "Yori catch!"

Yori caught her weapons before the three all jumped in different directions once more.

Shego took cover behind the couch. Ron jumped to the right, but Yori went straight for it.

She ran with the grace of a gazelle and the speed of a cheetah.

On its part, the robot made a wide swing and went for the girl's head. The swing caused a small shockwave and made the objects in the room rattle. It had a tremendous strength, and they knew that one hit meant death.

There was no escaping it.

Yori quickly ducked under its arm, and grounded her right foot on its chest, and used its chest as support to do a backflip, and finally, with her two Sais at hand she slashed its metal chest leaving two vertical lines.

The attack only managed to create some sparks and a thin scratch on its body.

Yori landed two meters away from it staring at it impassively. She then looked her Sais only to see them break in half (normal metal couldn't compare to titanium, it was stronger and much more durable than any weapons she had in hand). She let out a small 'tsk' before throwing the two weapons on the ground.

Her eyes narrowed behind her mask before she charged at it again with shurikens lodge between her fingers in both hands.

The robot reacted accordingly and pocketed the knife in one of its compartments, and with both hands, it grabbed the two pistols and raised them its aim on the ninja.

"Shego!" Ron shouted from behind the flip table, "Blind it, aim for its face!"

Shego stood up from behind the couch. Her hand balled into a fist glowing with green fire. She began to fire a stream of constant fireballs at the robot's face, as per Ron's orders.

The fireballs caused the robot to stagger back slightly, and blind him long enough for Yori to release all of her shurikens at it. All of her projectiles caused a few sparks upon impact and veered off course.

'Damn that armor is too tough.' Ron thought as he studied the robot intently trying to find any weakness. He realized that the two women were doing a pretty good job at keeping the giant busy. Shego was the distraction while Yori used her many tools to try to inflict any damage. It made the blond wonder where Yori kept so many tools.

Her outfit was a simply Gi, which was pretty tight against her curves. There were no notable bulges on her body.

Ron shook his head. 'This was not time to think of such things.' He thought. He was facing a giant robot whose armor seemed impenetrable. There was no time to think about such things, and he could do that after surviving this.

There were no weaknesses on that thing, and he had no weapon whatsoever to help. He felt utterly helpless. He looked to his left where his arm used to be and placed his hand on the stump gripping it tightly and gritting his teeth in frustration.

He felt worthless.

The only thing he could do at the moment was look for any weakness for the two girls to exploit. He was failing, even at that.

He wished for power. He wished for the power that could help them, but he couldn't.

"I am here for you."

Ron's eyes widened. 'There was the voice again.' He internally said. It was the one that he had heard before the Lotus Blade appeared. He had thought he had imagined that whole thing up... well not the sword appearing just the voice; he didn't need another one in his head.

He didn't want to grow any more insane than he already was.

"Call for me."

Ron snapped out of his musing and hesitantly, he stretched his good arm out, and unsure of the right words to use, he stuttered out, "Come to me Lotus Blade."

In response to his call, a dark red fog began to appear in the room, and the temperature began to drop a few degrees. Then in the middle of the room and out of the ground, a sword rose up and hovered leaving water-like ripples on the ground. But not damaging it: first came the red hilt with a small black chain attached to its end, then followed its white body with its deep dark edge.

The sword itself gave off a small pressure of power to those near it. It glowed a soft blue color, and a slight breeze enveloped it as it seemed to move slowly up to its master's hand until it was gripped tightly.

Not only was he surprised that the sword responded to his call. Ron felt a surge of power run all over his body; it was that same feeling he'd felt when he had taken on Eric. Only this time he was in his right mind and not in some haze like he had been at that time.

The last time it had felt like a dream. He knew it was him doing it all, but at the same time it felt like someone else was controlling his body, but this time it was all him, and the feeling… it was intoxicating.

He slowly looked at the robot, and smirked. Now, he knew he would be able to cut it. He just had a feeling that the blade was more than any ordinary sword. It was just a feeling it gave off, and he went with it.

He remained locked eyes on the Robot, as he slightly bent his knees before he dashed towards it with inhuman speed...

One moment he was where he was standing, and the next he appeared in midflight in front of the robot.

The was only a simple 'swish', and he was there in front of the robot.

Ron slashed at the robot's head, cutting it off clean, and he watched as it fell off its body leaving several wires sticking out.

Man, it felt good to be him!

"What the fuck was that!?" Shego exclaimed looking like a fish out of water. Yori for her part meanwhile, looks as calm as ever, but inside she wanted to ask the same thing but more politely.

In an instant, Ron had appeared in front of the robot with a glowing white sword in hand, and the next he was decapitating it in an instant.

The two women had been working hard to put a scratch on the thing for minutes throwing everything they had at it. Yet here came the blond and destroyed it in mere seconds.

Ron looked back at her, a smirk still on his face. "That was the power of the Ron man!" He gloated.

Shego's eyebrow twitched.

"Ron-san is that the Lotus Blade?" Yori inquired, staring at the sword.

"Yep." he replied.

"How did it get here?"

"I don't know actually. I heard a voice in my head saying I should 'call to it' and I don't know why but immediately I felt I knew that voice, so I did and viola!" Ron replied, waving the sword in his hand.

Yori looked at him, confused.

Did he think the sword was sentient? It couldn't be possible. There was no record of the sword being thought as sentient… then again besides well, Ron, there had been only one wielder, and he hadn't written much about the sword.

Yori decided to ask her sensei if he knew anything about that. If anyone knew, it would be him.

*BEEP*

A high pitch sound drew their gaze towards the robot's head. Its eyes were flashing red at a constant rate.

Ron immediately knew that his fight ended way to easily. "Shit." He cursed.

"I take it that means it's bad," Shego said looking at the head a little nervous.

Ron didn't answer, he already moved quickly and started dismantling the robot. If his guess was accurate than this thing required an enormous amount of power to make, it moved, and that same power could be use as a bomb.

Finally getting to the core of it, Ron stared at the most complex power cell he had ever seen. It was a small nuclear reactor. It could probably power all of Middleton for a year.

It was as small as a soccer ball.

"Do you want to hear the bad news or the worse news?" Ron asked not taking his eyes off the power source.

"What's the bad news?" Shego asked, walking towards the blond and looking at the power source.

"I know exactly what I am looking at."

"And the worse news?" Yori asked.

"I have no idea how to dismantle it."

"What!?" Shego yelped, "Then we need to get the hell out of here!"

"And go where? This right is the equivalent of two nuclear bombs. There is nothing that you could find to outrun the blast. If it explodes than all of Middleton will blow sky high." Ron explained.

"Then what the hell do you propose?" Shego snapped in reply.

"I don't know. I'm pretty sure I can figure it out" And he probably could. Together with the Jester his mental acuity was that of Zorpox and maybe even greater.

"You think you might be able to?"

"Shut up!" Ron hissed in reply, looking up at her, "If I fail we die, if not we live! So do me a favor and Shut the fuck up!" he snapped at her and went back to studying the device as the head began to beep faster shortening the intervals between its flashing eyes signifying that it was about to explode.

Ron's eyes moved all over the body and began to take down wires and connect them with other parts of it.

He was attempting to use its safety protocols to abort the explosion.

He was sure that whoever created it must have had safety protocols in case if one of the robots ever went haywire. He was sure that in the protocols, there had to be a force shut down button.

"Yori, I need your help," Ron said as he called the ninja over.

Yori walked towards him and knelt next to him, "In what way may I assist you?"

"I need you to connect this wire here, and then this one and hold this button here." He instructed her. Having one arm kind of slowed him down, and the use of an extra pair of hands was kind of needed here.

"Stoppable, it's beeping faster!" Shego warned him as the sound heighten and its flashing shortened again.

In response, Ron began to work faster, because going by the sound it was about to go. "Shego I need you to fuse this here. Use your powers here to connect this wire here with this one now!" He ordered her.

Shego moved and connected the two wires together. She concentrated her powers on her fingertips as she welded them together.

After she had done that, she and the others looked towards the head and waited for the red flashing eyes to stop, and in a few seconds the eyes went from red to blue before it shut down; they all released the breath they didn't know they were holding and slumped down on the floor.

They were all exhausted.

"I need to call Betty." Ron sighed, before getting up and grabbing what was left of the phone. He dialed the Betty's number and after hearing it ring and her picking up, he sighed and said, "Hello, Betty? Can you come over I was just attacked . . ."

Line break

Betty liked to think she was a very patient woman, and she had to be when she had to deal with the sort of people she did.

As the Director of Global Justice, she had no choice but to deal with trigger happy rookies who thought they were all that… agents much like Will Du: they boasted about being the best in the field when the most they had done simply pick up the bad guy from the real agents that worked on the field. She had to be patient in dealing with all their screw-ups because after all, everything they did reflect on her as a leader.

She had dealt with everything in her time as head of GJ. However, there was always one agent that attracted trouble everywhere they went.

While they were sometimes worth the trouble they attracted, usually due to their amazing skills out on the field, this time around, it wasn't a field agent but her asset.

Pinching the bridge of her nose in frustration, Betty looked at the three people in front of her and gave a long exasperated sigh, "Please, run that by me again." She said.

They were all sitting in the living room on what was left of the couch. It looked like swiss cheese with so many bullet holes in it, and several burn mark from what she guess was due to Shego's power, and several ninja stars embedded in it. Betty herself was sitting on what was left of the coffee table.

"This is Yori, and she is a ninja in the place where the Lotus Blade comes from," Ron explained slowly as if talking to a small child. They had been going over the whole thing over and hour, and he was starting to get bored.

"Is that the place you learned you martial arts?" Shego cut in looking at Ron in a somewhat new light.

"Yes, it was during a student exchange program; I went to Japan and learned some moves." He shrugged uncaringly.

"Ok, I get that. Mystical mumbo jumbo, and then what seemed like a team Black Ops attacked you." She sighed, "Not even a day out of the hospital and you seem eager to get back into the arms of Emily again." Betty said her eyes were dancing with mirth.

Ron gave an involuntary shudder thinking of the woman. Even now, he still had no idea how she was qualified to take care of the sick and the old. Doctors were meant to be kind and caring, and they were not to see you as their next experiment.

"But I didn't do anything!" He whined petulantly, "It's not as I invited them here. Last time I checked, I didn't send invitations for a Welcome Home party that said, 'Weapons are a must.'"

"Yeah, well this proves something much worse." Betty sighed. "Someone somewhere leaked your location." Betty's expression was grim. "And there are people seriously out to get you."

"Yeah, I know, but how they know I was here? The only one that knows I am here is you, the Possible, and these two." Ron said, motioning to Shego and Yori.

"Well, it wasn't me," Shego said, "Maybe it was the ninja, girl." Shego pointed at Yori, who was sitting on Ron's left side while she was on his right with him in the middle.

"It wasn't Yori, I trust her" Ron defended the foreign beauty.

Yori narrowed her eyes, which was visible to everyone now that her mask was off showing her pretty face. "I would never betray Stoppable-san that way. We have warrior's Honor something you are clearly lacking," she retorted.

Shego narrowed her eyes, "What that supposed to mean little girl?"

"You know what it means!" Yori answered as she glared back at her.

"Enough!" Betty commanded, "I doubt is Shego. She isn't stupid enough hire people who would try to kill her, and they aren't ninjas they are soldiers. The way I see it someone hacked into my COM lines, maybe the Possible are behind this, or maybe someone saw you."

"Well, it can be the Possible's." Shego mused.

Ron glared at her, "But it wasn't them."

"We don't know that!" Betty snapped, "I am just listing several positives. They might not have willingly or consciously know they were doing it. Maybe their house was bugged." Betty suggested trying to appease the teen.

Ron nodded reluctantly.

"And we can't ask them who sent them." Betty sighed looking at the piled of bodies stacked up in the house. It wouldn't do any good if they saw a bunch of dead bodies on the lawn.

They had managed to capture some of them alive, but they had a fake tooth full of cyanide. They had died in a matter of seconds. The only thing they all had on was a broach with a triangle in the middle.

."The only thing we have for our trouble is this" Betty showed them the broach.

Shego looked at it and recognized it.

"I've seen that before," she said while Ron thought the same thing. It had been in the list Legion had given him. One of the names had that symbol next to it.

Betty look sharply at her, "Where?"

"Drakken was contacted by them I guess. He used to get an envelope once a week for four months before he came up with his brilliant plan. I never actually got a look at it since he'd burn them after reading them." She explains shrugging.

"I've seen it also. It was on the list I mentioned." Ron said to Betty, "But let's deal with it another time. We are in no position to investigate yet if they can do what they did tonight."

Betty nodded. If they were indeed bugging/ Hacking everything, then they needed to be careful.

"Do you think Wade might be able to help us? I don't trust GJ tech and personnel after what you told me." She was referring to the mole in the list.

Ron nodded, "Yea, I think he would be happy to help. I have the cash to buy the latest tech for him to build whatever he wants instead of using old video games like he used to build the Kimmunicator."

Betty nodded. Wade was the only one she was willing to trust.

"What list are you talking about?" Shego asked.

Betty and Ron looked at each other, "Well tell you another time."

Shego narrowed her eyes but before she could say anything else Yori piped in.

"How did no one hear the noise of guns being fired and the sound of half the house being ripped off?" Yori asked.

Ron had nearly forgotten about the Asian beauty.

She had been quiet during their discussion that he had forgotten that she was next to him.

Betty sighed, "They used several GJ prototypes that can cancel out any noise in a surrounded area. They were set up around the house making sure that no noise escape out. Then they placed a hologram around the house making it look like nothing was happening. I was confused when I got here seeing that nothing was wrong. You said half the house had been destroyed, and from the outside it looks normal." Betty explained knowing full well that if she had doubts of a mole in her organization before, this crushed those thoughts. She had a house to clean up.

"So a mole in GJ," Shego commented mirthfully, with one of her eyebrow raised.

Betty looked at her sourly and nodded. It was a bitter pill to swallow knowing that there had been a mole under her nose all this time. It was a matter of pride to her.

"So what are we going to do with them?" Ron pointed at the pile of dead bodies, "I mean I want to keep the Robot. I want to study It." he looked at the robot gleefully.

"I will have them disposed by a certain organization that specializes in this. The robot, as much as I want to take it to GJ and study it, sadly I can't. Not when there is a mole in my ranks." Betty said sourly.

Ron glosses over the part where Betty speaks about the organization that specialized in cleaning this and jumped right up to the ' the robot is yours' bit.

"We'll leave the Hologram on until we fix the house or..." Ron trailed off coming up with an idea.

"What?" Betty said.

"Nothing, but I just thought that if I am going to be taking care of Hana, I'd rather do it somewhere else. This used to be my parents house, and it brings sad memories to live here. I had planned on getting a new house and start a new life, and the fact that it was destroyed only spurs me to do it sooner." Ron explained gaining a far-away look at the mention of his parents. It was still a sore subject for the blond.

Meanwhile, Betty nodded in agreement; she knew that was an excellent idea.

"Well, can we continue this tomorrow. I am tired as hell." Shego grumpily said from the blonds right.

"I'll have to agree with her this time," Ron said.

Betty nodded. It was well over midnight; in fact it was almost 2 am. "Fine then, we'll continue this tomorrow." She said.

"Finally!" Shego yawned, getting up and leaving towards the second floor. She did not wait for them and simply went to look for a warm bed.

Soon after, the rest all broke away with Betty going home, as Ron presumed, and Yori leaving to who knows where; the blond went to look for Rufus and set him to sleep. His final thought before heading to bed was, 'This was one hell of a day.'

He hoped that he won't have to exert himself like he did today in a long while. He needed the rest.

Line break

Day Break

It was a very tired Ron Stoppable that woke up at the sound of birds chirping loudly - they were literally inside his room - and after what happened the night before, he wasn't really in the mood to deal with this.

"Scram!" He shouted, throwing a pillow at the little annoyance.

After what happened last night, there had been several holes all around his house, some were as big as a car, and some were as small as a soccer ball or a pebble, and even in his room, there were several holes… the fact that he had no window made it kind of obvious how the bird had entered in the first place.

It was one thing to listen to the sound of the rainforest to sleep, but it was another one to have it inside your room. He silently thought. Looking at the clock and reading it he saw that the time was 8:30.

'Not much sleep.' Ron mused. He had gotten roughly about five hours of sleep.

Rubbing his hand over his face trying to rub the sleep off of him. Ron got up from his bed and finally decided to take a shower, he remembered that today was the day he would attempt to collect his baby sister, and he said attempt since there was a chance that she might be given to him either today or tomorrow; it all depended on several complications that he frankly hadn't paid attention to as Betty explained yesterday.

Ron thought, 'Wasn't interested in listening about it then. Probably am not interested in listening to it now'. He grabbed a towel out of his drawer, before he headed to his bathroom and took very long shower, and after ten minutes the blond walked out of the bathroom and put on one of the few remaining clothes he had - most of the others were badly damaged with rips and tears.

"Hey, buddy," Ron said, walking up to Rufus causing him to wake up. Yesterday had been rather hectic, and he hadn't had time to reconnect with his old friend.

Rufus blinked, looking a little drowsy as he used his paws to rub the sleep off his face, and looking up, he saw Ron, before he smiled, giving his best friend a thumbs up.

Ron chuckled lightly. "I'll be out the whole day buddy. Do you want to come with me or stay here?" He asked, and in response Rufus quickly made his way towards his pocket.

Even if he was tired, Rufus would accompany him around, after all he had missed Ron for one-month thinking he had been dead, and he wasn't about to let him out of his sight… well that, and he was used to sleeping inside Ron's pocket.

Ron smiled and walked downstairs.

He half expected for Shego to be down here, but then again she must have slept in, and he couldn't fault her for that. He wanted to do the same.

Looking around the living room - which was a mess with the furniture was all over the place, and the big hole in the kitchen - there was a hole on the side of the house and the fridge, and all of the foods in the kitchen had been flattened and destroyed. He also noticed that the bodies were no longer in the house, and only the robot was there.

Ron sighed.

He couldn't have his dear sister live in this type of conditions.

'Well, time to call Betty.' He thought as he reached into his pocket pulled out his phone; he dialed Betty's number, they had plenty of things to do today.

Several Minutes Later

Pulling up into the driveway of the surprisingly free street, in her standard GJ assigned car, was none other than GJ agent, Director Betty. With Ron beside her in her car, the two drove off from his busted up home in order to see Mr. Lomax.

Today, they had plenty of paperwork to file, if Ron wanted to see his baby sister Hana in his hands. Sure it might not seem right, but it had to be done, it's the way the entire system was set up; no ifs and buts.

Ron was annoyed of course with the whole thing, but he accepted that he needed to do this sooner rather than later, because he didn't want to go another day without making sure that Hana was safe with him.

He had also asked Betty what had happened to the pile of bodies that had been stashed in his living room following the attack to his home, and thinking back about the entire thing, he felt that he was a little apathetic as he had been too calm after seeing that many bodies stacked there in front of him.

He couldn't help but feel that the change he was going through was happening so fast, and he was afraid if this change was more bad than good because for his first time in real life, he had taken so many human lives, all in one night... and he had been too calm about it.

'A normal person would puke or feel sick at that sight, but not me, I can't be normal.' He thought dryly.

'Oh stop whining pussy, normal is overrated nowadays.' Jester supplied with a scoff.

'Shut up, I didn't ask for your opinion.' Ron grumbled via thought.

He wanted to chuck up the killing as moment of adrenaline boost, or a heat the heat of the battle sort of thing, but he couldn't, he could remember everything very vividly.

"Ron are you alright? You've been a little quiet for a while." Betty noted, glancing at him from the corner of her eye.

Her voice had briefly snapped him out of his mullings, "Y-yea I'm fine." he replied while thinking that maybe it had been the fact that he had 'fused' with his alter ego, this could be what caused him to be that calm.

He shook his head.

'No, don't blame it on the Jester, even though part of it could be his fault.' He thought before he looked at Betty. "So, you still haven't told me Betty." He said. "Just what exactly happened to the bodies?" He repeated. He was more than a little curious. He hadn't felt them clean up crew clean up the blood that was visible nor the fact that they had entered his home and taken several bodies.

Betty sighed, "Remember our agreement?" She asked, to which Ron nodded, "Well this is something that it's better you don't know about; trust me, you don't want to know."

The organization was like a ghost. They never left a trail, and they prided themselves in working out of sight. Only the Director of GJ was allowed to know of their existence… and even she had little to no information on them; to be honest, she was a little afraid of them.

Ron looked at her and nodded slowly. It was not his business to pry into her secrets, and as per their agreement, he wouldn't ask any more questions based on the topic for now…

"So what's on the agenda for today?" He asked, switching the topic.

"You have plenty of documents to sign before getting custody of Hana and after that, you have to find a place to live." Betty told him. "Social workers will investigate if you are a suitable parent before giving out Hana, so it's best if you start looking up decent residences for sale."

Ron nodded. There was no way he was going to make his baby sister live in their old home. It was on its last leg after yesterday's aftermath. "I'll see what I can find." He said, before the car was once more in a state of silence.

Betty had to ask something that had been on the back of her head since yesterday.

"So... you had training from a hidden ninja school?" She asked.

"Yep, that where the Blade comes from. I didn't train much. I was horrible at it but Rufus, on the other hand, excels at it." Ron replied with a small smile, thinking of his little pink friend.

"Is there anything you can tell me about them? Because this is the first time I am hearing of an organization of ninjas." Betty carefully probed, hoping to get a positive answer, but her hopes were dashed at the reply she received.

"Sorry, I can't," Ron replied.

Although displeased, Betty nodded in acceptance and didn't push him any further. 'Looks like I'm going to have to earn a little more of his trust if I want all the answers I'm looking for.' She thought, glancing at Ron.

20 minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

Line Break

After two long hours of discussing the legal procedures that one had to go trough to adopt or gain custody of a child, and after all of the paperwork was signed and notarized, a very tired Ron Stoppable left the building a little annoyed at the fact that he had to wait five days for all paper to be reviewed and approved.

But it wasn't so bad.

He had that much time to find a new home; a social worker had to inspect where the child was going to live. It was explained at a great detail that even if he had been given custody it could still be taken away if it was found that the guardian did not have a suitable home.

The good news was that he was getting his sister soon; that was the only thing that managed to brighten his day after leaving Lomax office, before Betty took him back to one of GJ building where he managed to meet Vivian once more.

His day instantly went from good to bad at the mere thought of visiting that maniac.

But it wasn't all bad this time around… apparently, Vivian had not gone to claim Olly back from them as Ron had originally suspected, so it had been sitting around in one of their storage building for a while - It was also where the Lotus Blade had been - Betty had meanwhile reviewed the video footage showing that it had indeed disappeared into the ground that way it had appeared from the ground up when he had called it.

GJ, however, had tried to break Olly apart and study it - much to his ire, but had no luck - but thankfully, the bike had a self-defense mechanism where it would discharge high levels of electricity to anyone who tried to touch it while they weren't authorized to do so.

The AI managed to inform them of that since it recognized those that were authorized. They had tried to scan it, but it also had measures against it. It was truly an amazing bike.

Ron had asked if he could take Olly back to Vivian. Betty had been reluctant to agree. After yesterday's attack, she was certain that they might try again. Ron had pleaded with her, and she had agreed to it.

Ron had given her a tight hug leaving a very flustered GJ Director.

30 Minutes later

Pulling into Vivian's personal garage in Middleton Tech. Institute, he opened the garage thanks to Olly having the access code to it; after leaving the GJ facility, he had realized that he did not know where Vivian might be, much less where her lab was.

'Luckily Olly had her information on file.' He thought as it and had taken him to her Garage based on the information it had. He got of the bike and placed the helmet on top of the seat before he walked around the enormous garage that held several of Vivian's inventions.

There was the android that had taken her identity. There were several arms, legs, head, and other cybertronic inventions. 'It's a good thing she's on my side.' He mentally added, because if he had someone as insanely smart and 'sane' as her as an enemy… well it won't end well for him if that were the case. 'In any case...' He finally found the blonde scientist quietly working on a project after a few moments of searching around.

She had on her lab coat and a welding mask on.

"Hey Viv." He greeted her cheerfully, "I came back to drop Olly back - thanks for the loan - if it hadn't been for him, I would have never been able to make it. It is an amazing bike. It handles smoothly on the rain, and it has a killer boost-" He was cut off by a sharp slap, and during his rant, he had fail to see the tears running down her cheek when she had taken her mask off.

Ron looked back at her jaw hanging.

"What was that for?" Ron asked still a little confused.

Vivian tackled him to the ground straddling his waist and began to pound on his chest furiously. Tears were rolling down her cheeks as they fell on his face.

After a few minutes, she finally calmed down.

"I thought you died!" Vivian sobbed, "I thought that I had sent you to your death. I blamed myself for letting you go instead of taking you to a hospital. I blamed myself for not forcing you to stop." She cried softly.

"I'm sorry." Ron murmured pulling her closer to him putting her chin in the crook of his neck, "I didn't mean to do that to you."

"I thought you had died..." Came a muffled reply.

Ron just shushes her and tried to calm her. This was the fifth women he had to soothe since his return. It was best just to let them wear themselves out before engaging in any conversation.

They both had stayed in that position for five minutes before Vivian sat upright looking at him, and then at his stump. She ran her hand over it.

"It's not your fault," She heard Ron speak, "I decided to go that night, and it was me that decided to go in to fight Drakken alone with no backup. I did this to myself."

Vivian's eyes darken slightly thinking back as to why he had gone there alone but shook herself out of it.

"But I still can't help but feel guilty. I thought back to that night and couldn't help but feel useless. I couldn't do anything to help."

"That's not true. You let me borrow Olly. He was a great help." Ron replied.

Vivian chuckles mirthlessly, "True, but I didn't offer to help you. I could have gone with you I knew the state you were in and decided not to help you. I kept on justifying my decision with the fact that I have no training with martial arts. I am just the geek that stay in the background."

"That's not true," Ron raised his hand and placed his palm on her cheek, "You did everything correctly. I told you to wait for GJ; It was not your fault,"

Vivian was about to protest, but it died when she saw the look he was given her. It was a mixed between a soft look, and a hardened look telling her to accept it.

Vivian nodded and wiped the tears with the sleeve of her lab coat.

"I have something for you. When I heard, you were alive and saw a picture of you missing an arm I set to work and built you a new one." She said getting up from him. "You came just in time to see the new arm I was making you. It's a prototype, If I had more time, I would have liked to implement some new technology I've been tinkering with." Vivian explained.

Getting up from the ground, Ron studied the arm carefully. It looked like any prosthetic from far away, but upon further inspection it looked like something from a sci-fi film. It was an actual metal arm. It looked like the arm of a knight. (A/N Winter Soldier arm, but just the way it looks)

"So what do you think?" She asked worried that he might not like it.

Ron turned around to look at her and smiled, "Its perfect."

Taking a good look at her, she looked like a mess. She had bags under her eyes, her hair was a mess, and her skin was pale.

'She must've worked all night long since yesterday.' He thought.

"Great!" she said cheerfully, "Here let's put it on. The arm will latch itself onto you. Much like one of those arcade games where you have to get the stuffed animal with a crane the arm will latch onto your shoulder. I know it looks ugly now, but I plan on making a better one. This was a rushed job, but I think I managed to work out most of its kinks." She explained.

Ron took off his shirt and let Vivian put the arm on him. The arm felt like his old one. He was more balanced now than before.

"Here, put this on." She handed him something that looked like a collar, "This will transmit you thought to the arm much like you would do with your other one. You don't have to think actively to tell it what to do. It will follow you subconscious much like you other arm does." She explained.

Putting it on, he clap once to test it once, and then again and again. Once he was satisfied he brought the blonde into a tight hug, "Thank you." He said, his voice thick with emotion.

Ron was trying hard not to cry. When he had lost his arm, the doctor had offered him a prosthetic. A plastic piece of junk that did nothing. This arm was a better solution to his problem. It moved like a real arm, and he could do thing he used to be able to do before.

"Y-your welcome." Vivian stuttered.

After that, they began to talk to what had happened after his supposed death. Ron gave her the same water down version he had given Mrs. Possible. He didn't want too much information out after what had happened yesterday. Betty had been right about one thing. He was being watched.

They had talked a for a while before it was time to head home.

But before he left the blonde gave him two more gifts. Olly was given to him. It was originally made for Kim, but Vivian said that it was better in his hands. The other gift was a soft kiss on the lips.

That had been the third kiss in less than 24 hours.

Ron left her garage with a big smile on his face hidden beneath the helmet.

Line Break

After taking Olly for another joy ride, Ron had finally gone to Wade's home. The young Genius had been ecstatic at seeing Ron again, and like with the others, there had been fewer tears with Wade.

Mrs. Load, on the other hand, had reacted the same way as Mrs. Possible had: lots of tears and hugs, but enough of that, Ron had visited Wade for several reasons.

One he wanted the chip out of his body; he was no longer needed it, and he found it insulting to have been tagged like an animal taking his people's history.

True, it had saved his life plenty of times. He had been a walking disaster, but that was the old Ron.

He also needed several communicators that were unhackable or at least hard to crack. He needed a secure way to communicate with Betty. He decided not to say anything about Shego but asked for several communicators.

The last thing he asked was help in finding a new home. He needed one for he and Hana, and he could trust Wade to fit it with the latest security system, or he could build one. Of course, he agreed to give him as much money as he needed to create the communicators and to buy whatever house was the best.

He gave him several things the houses needed. It had to be in a strategic place easy to defend and hard to get into. It had to be relatively away from the public in a private area. It also had to have several rooms, a big kitchen. He also asked him to built something like a bunker underneath the house if possible. He wanted a place where he could create new gadgets to train, and many other things.

With a quick search, Wade found no house that matched what he wanted.

The next best thing was a piece of land that had what he wanted: private, big, and a strategic place.

Ron gave Wade the Task of building his new home instead. He wanted it to be extremely safe and when Wade has asked him why he decided to tell him why. The attack on his home, and the Black Ops team that tried to kill him.

Wade understood and accepted the task. With the new plan, Ron gave Wade a list of things he wanted on his house. It was a long list, and Wade had to be creative into getting everything in it.

After a few hours, Ron headed home or what was left.

As he pulled into the garage the only thing, that didn't have bullets holes. He felt something was amiss. Entering his home carefully, and concentrating in summoning the Lotus Blade to him. He entered the house slowly only to see the last two people he thought he'd see today.

"Hi." Ron said sheeply hiding the sword behind his back.

Standing in front of him was Tara, and Bonnie.

"Ron what happened?!" They asked/shouted at him their voices filled with worry.

Ron had forgotten that they were coming over today. It had been late yesterday, and their reunion had been cut short. They had both said that they were coming over today again.

Looking around his spotted Shego with a smirk on her face.

"Well uhh you this..." He stuttered nervously trying to come up with a lie.

"Don't lie to us!" they said, as the two glared at him.

Ron flinched away.

'Able to fight a giant robot, a full Black Ops team, and yet two teenagers have you cowering.' Ron heard the Jester mock him.

"Shut up!" he hissed back.

"Well?!" they said both with one hand on their hips their foot tapping rapidly.

"What can I say? It was a wild party." he laughs nervously.

They both growled.

Ron raised his hand in surrender getting their attention.

"You have your arm back!" They both exclaimed.

"Well not really, it's more like a prosthetic. Vivian gave it to me and isn't cool? It can do everything my old arm could do!" He excitedly demonstrated it by waving it around and juggling a few things around.

"Vivian?" Bonnie asked.

"Oh yea, Vivian Porter a genius in cybernetics. She also gave me a cool bike, and made me this arm." He said cheerfully.

Tara and Bonnie looked at each other for second as if having a silent conversation.

"And as for what happen here... I can't tell you much, but you can guess what happened." Ron said.

They both sighed.

"So you were attacked?" Tara said in her shy voice. To come it might sound meek, but to those who knew her it was just her regular voice.

Ron nodded.

Both girls walked up to him and hugged him.

"We can't lose you after we just got you back." Bonnie said.

Their hug was ruin when Shego made some barfing noise. "I think I'm going to be sick this is too sweet." Shego said, disgusted.

"Jealous much?" Ron mocked.

"Of you or the girls?" she returned with a smirk. "Because from where I'm standing it looks like they are trying to press as much of their assets on you."

Both girls immediately pulled himself away from him their face cherry red.

"Shego!" Ron growled his cheeks colored a light red.

"Alright fine. I know when I'm not wanted." She left laughing all the way upstairs.

"Sorry about that..." Ron said. He felt the need to apologize for his unwanted guest.

"Its fine." Bonnie and Tara replied, once they managed to get their blush under control, "Now tell us what happen here."

Ron sighed and began his relatively small yet long tale. He made it clear that there were things that he was not allowed to tell them for their safety, and he knew they didn't like it. They both wish to be part of his life. They were not sit idly like last time and watch him go to his death again.

So Ron began his story on what happened after they both left.

He didn't say anything about Yori, he didn't know why he didn't mention her, but he didn't. Then he told them about the robot and had stupidly told them about the nuclear device inside of it.

That lead to him being scolded and yelled for ten long minutes, and the only thing he learned was that both girls had a healthy set of lungs.

'God! they sure can scream!' He thought.

'Yea, you might even say they're quite the screamers!' The jester piped up, quite lewdly.

'Good God, can't you go a day without a lewd comment?' Ron groaned pitifully.

'Nope, not when you have some of the hottest women around. You have a green goddess living with you, a seductress spy master, two gorgeous cheerleaders, an Asian beauty, a brilliant cybernetic genius, and don't forget there is an actual MILF who is the hottest Milf in Middleton!' The Jester retorted, 'And let's not forget that these two kiss you yesterday.'

'Yes, but that might have been because they were happy to see me. Emotions were running high! That could have been for a number of reasons.' He said, trying to convince his alter ego or himself. 'And all those women are not interested in me; Mrs. P is married and is Kim's mother!'

'Your point? She's still hot.'

"Ron!" His conversation with his alter ego was cut off by Bonnie, "Are you even listening to us?"

"Y-yes, look there is nothing that can be done. For lack of a better word, I am now a target for several bad guys out there. This might or might not happen again and all I can do is try and deal with it as best as I can." Ron explained trying to pacify both girls.

They understood, but it didn't mean that they liked it, going by the look on their face.

"And how are you even living in this dump?" Bonnie asked rather tactlessly.

"Bonnie!" Tara exclaimed, she knew her best friend was alway blunt, but she could have said it more tact.

"What? Look around you. There is a big hole in the kitchen there is no food, it's full of bullet holes I'm not even sure if they have running water, there is no furniture, and there are multiple blood stains on the floor..." Bonnie replied.

"...Look I'm- I'm worried about you alright? I don't feel comfortable with you living with a known criminal and I just found out there are people trying to kill you. Heck, I know Tara is thinking the same thing, but she's too kind to say anything. What I am saying is that you're more than welcome to come and live with me for a while, I mean Tara is already staying with us and my mom wouldn't mind having you there. She still remembers when you used to come around back when were kids." At the end of her rant, she was blushing heavily.

Ron smiled at her in her way she cared, but she wasn't the best at showing her soft side, "As much as I would love to live under the same roof as both of you, I can't. I can't in good conscious go knowing that I'll be putting you guys and your family at risk, plus I can't leave Shego alone, and let her live here in this 'dump' as Bonnie put it. I made a deal with her. She is by default a partner of sorts. I... well I'm in charge of her." he explained.

Tara smiled at him, 'He's still the same kind person.' she paused, 'And still the dense boy too.'

"Fine, I guess I can understand that." Bonnie, huffed not pleased in the slightest.

Tara giggled. This was the Bonnie she knew. After yesterday, she began to notice that they were slowly becoming more and more open emotionally. No longer were they depressed, and no longer did they wish to spend all the time cooped up inside a room.

This was the Bonnie she knew.

"Well there isn't much we can do, but we can come here now and then you know, to keep you company." Tara said.

"Alright." Ron said cheerfully.

Bonnie wanted to groan. He could be so clueless sometimes.

"Bonnie, we have to go." Tara said pointing at the clock.

Seeing the time, Bonnie agreed before they both bid the blond goodbye giving him a kiss on the cheek each.

Ron smiled softly as he watched them leave.

With Shego

Shego was up in the attic. It had been where she spent most of her time in the house. Since she had arrived here, she had taken into coming here staying away from windows as to avoid the people coming to the house to leave flowers and gift when they all thought him to be dead.

She was currently laying on a mattress she had taken from the guest room. She had heard most of the conversation between the three. At first she had come up here to take a nap, but her stomach did not agree with her. There wasn't much food, and she had to look for anything that hadn't been blown up.

She chuckled bitterly. She felt like a rat. Hidden from view and scavenging for food to survive.

How far had she fallen? This was her reward for following a mad man. She could argue that she was following another one, but at the same time he was different.

Yea, he was using her as much as she was using him. She knew very well she had no power over what he could to do her. As much as she hated to admit it. He owned her metaphorically of course. He could go back on the deal anytime, and there was nothing she could do about it.

She had offered herself to him, and there was nothing she could do to take it back, and he had accepted. Not in the way she had expected, but he had accepted her deal and changed it completely.

Now she was at his mercy, and it was something she wasn't used to and she wouldn't admit it, but when the brunette had offered Ron a place to stay leaving her here, her breath had hitched, and her heart began to pound furiously. She didn't know why it mattered to her.

Shego argued with herself listing why it would have affected her in such way. Maybe it was because she needed him to get food, keep her out of jail.

But that didn't explain the relief and happiness that she felt when he said he wouldn't abandon her. But again a voice in her head told her that as long as they were of use to him he wouldn't leave her. But there was also the deal they had made. He mentioned it. Maybe he was doing it out of duty as the good guy he was.

She just couldn't figure him out. Sometimes he was aggressive, other times a normal teenager, and sometime he looked like a hardened warrior, and yesterday, she had found out that there was more to him than he leads on. He was strong and skilled. She guessed that he might be the only one she could go all out and have some fun fighting.

She loved the thrill of a good fight, and that was one of the reasons she turned evil. She was sick of fighting by the rules where the bad guys always escaped in the end. They didn't follow any rules so why should she?

But that didn't matter anymore. She was back into being a good guy or at least pretend to have been one.

Sighing heavily she grabbed a pillow and put it over her face groaning in frustration. Her life had never been this bad.

*Knock*

Shego sat up, "Who is it?"

"It's me Shego."

Shego frowned she felt anger at hearing his voice, yet she felt happy. It was confusing. She hadn't felt this way since. . .

. . . It was best not to think about that. She hoped it wasn't something like that again. She was past that.

"What do you want Stoppable!" Shego yelled it looked like her anger was winning out. The conversion dogstar it kept on repeating over and over again. For some reason, she felt anger.

"I went to get some food." He replied not being affected by her outburst. In his head, it was the usual Shego.

Did he bring food for her?

"So?" Her stomach rumbled softly, and Shego cover it with a pillow. She was not about to beg for food. She did not do charity. Yea she was stubborn and prideful, and so what.

"Shego open the damn door already, before I kick it down."

Shego got up and went to open the door growling. She didn't like it when she was told what to do.

"Hey," Ron said cheerfully when she open the door. He walked straight into the without waiting to be invited.

"I brought a whole lot of food." He said putting down about five bags full of food. There were hamburgers, steaks, Chinese food, and other cuisines. He remembered she had mentioned she ate more than a normal person.

"Where are the other two princesses?" Shego asked taking a sit on her mattress with the blond in front of her," And I see you got a new arm too." She commented before taking some food for herself.

"Yea, Vivian this cybernetic genius made it for me. She even gave me a cool motorcycle." He replied. "And the girls left a little over an hour ago." He responded to her first question ignoring the princess comment.

"So what do you want? You brought the food so you can go now." She said rather rudely. He had given her the food so there was no point in him sticking around much longer.

Ron sighed, "Well, I wanted to eat here with you. There is no one else in the house, and it's kind of depressing eating alone. Rufus already had his food and fell asleep right away, and this is also a way to apologize for what I did today."

Shego raised an eyebrow. She would have asked what for, but she had a hamburger in her mouth already.

"I left early in the morning, and I forgot that we had no food. I left you to starve here. I forgot that you couldn't go outside, so I wanted to say I'm sorry." Ron apologized.

Shego blinked and stared at him in surprise, she looked away and murmured something like 'its fine' and continued eating. Her body needed a lot of food, and she had barely consumed 2,000 calories. That might have been enough for a regular girl, but she was anything but normal.

"Yes, I guess its Okay to eat with someone from time to time," she said taking another Hamburger. She wouldn't admit it, but she felt happy. It might have been something small, but she felt happy from it.

Ron smiled, and they both settled comfortably in silence. No words needed to be said between the two.

A/N

That is a wrap.

Well, as you can see Ron got a new arm. Its a prototype, and it looks like the Winter soldier's arm. There were several people who PM me, telling me about it. At that time, I had no Idea about it but now I do and wanted to thank them.

Also, the Arm is a rush prototype. So it won't be like the actual arm the Winter Soldier had. Ron will get it, but not right now. Vivian will give him a better one since this one was built in less than 24 hours. It's just good enough for him to get by, and not meant for combat.

Also, there were some of you who guessed who pride is, and what the Illuminati are. All I can say is that Mr. P is not what he seems. Some might have seen this a mile away, some not so much. All I can say is to keep on reading you'll see what happen to him.

In this chapter, there was a Shego POV. She has abandonment issues and is conflicted with what she feels for the blond. Its Hate, Anger, Happiness, and so many more.

Now Lemons: Yes there will be some lemons in the future. There won't be any for now. Maybe after Ron come back from Yamanouchi. Bonnie and Tara did kiss him, but as you read Ron played it off as 'Emotions were running high' type of things. None of the girls has approached him yet. But fear, not they will soon.

Ann will be the last to join the Harem officially. Her morals will clash against the others, and most of the time she will be conflicted in what she feels for him. Something major will happen for her to begin even to consider him a suitable candidate to be with. After all, Ron is Kim's age and childhood friend so you can imagine her fighting her feeling for a long time.
