A/N Well I'm back. The recent chapters of the story have focused a lot on the action. After this chapter, the story will relax a little. Moreover, for all of you who are worried about Maya and the rest they will be back soon trust me
Anthony lined his toys along the living room floor. He picked up an army man off the ground.
"Oh no, what are we going to do, Team Possible has been captured and Janus is on his way. What are we going to do?"
Anthony snatched up another army man. "We're doomed, doomed I tell you."
He put both toys back on the ground. He wrapped a towel around his neck, creating a cape for himself. He put the ceiling fan on high and quickly climbed the living room bookcase. Once at the top he looked over the living room, as his cape blew in the breeze from the ceiling fan.
Anthony looked down at the toys. "Don't worry everyone, I may be six but I'm a hero. Rest assured, I will save the world. So leave it to me----" He cried out in the surprise as the bookcase began to rock back and forth.
"No---" The bookcase tipped forward. "Mommy!" Anthony screamed as he fell. He closed his eyes and braced for the impact.
"Gotcha!"
Anthony opened his eyes to find himself in his mother's arms.
"Are you ok?" she asked.
"When, how?"
She smiled at the surprise in Anthony's eyes. "Well, you called for me didn't you? Just say the world and I'll be there."
"Say the word?"
She tickled him in the stomach. "Say the word. Make a call and I'll be there
Anytime, anywhere, have you heard. That I'm all about savin' your world. All you have to do is say the word."
Anthony placed his head on his mother's shoulder. "I like that song."
She laughed. "I know you do" She glanced at the grandfather clock in the room "looks like it's just about bedtime for all little heroes."
"Ok," Anthony yawned, "Just… sing that song one more time."
"Sure; day or night, it's all I need, say the word. 'Cuz I'm all about savin' your world."

Ron slowly opened his eyes, it took him a minute or two to find that he was on the floor, and for some reason, he was in a straight jacket.
"Hey, what's going on?" he cried out, as he struggled to release himself from the jacket. Then he realized that he wasn't alone, dozens of others, also in straight jackets, roamed the padded room he was in.
"Is this somebody's idea of a joke?"
Suddenly, someone jumped at Ron, startling him. "Hello lad!" The man yelled at him.
"Who are you?" Ron stammered as he rose to his feet.
"I am Napoleon," the man said proudly. "I am Napoleon and power is my mistress. I have worked too hard at her conquest to allow anyone to take her away from me."
"Riiiiiiiight," Ron said, "can you explain why you aren't speaking in French?"
Napoleon stared into Ron's eyes. "Yes, I see, you're just like me."
"No I'm not… I'm quite sure I'm sane," Ron replied, as he slowly began to walk away.
Napoleon jumped up and down. "Yes, you're just like but you lack my ambition!"
"I also lack your craziness. Catch you later Nap," Ron said, as he broke away from Napoleon.
"Ambition boy, that's all you need. Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. It all depends on the principals which direct them!"
"I'll try to keep that in mind," Ron said sarcastically. He looked around the room, it was filled with more stumbling, mumbling, crazies. "What's going on? One minute I'm falling through the air, the next I'm in the nut house."
"Sorry buddy,"
The face of the man who bumped him twitched sporadically. "JJJJJJJ…. Justice and power must be BBBBB….Brought together, so that whatever is just may be PPPP…powerful, and whatever is powerful may be JJJJJJJ….JA…JA…..Just."
The man pushed past him.
"Alright, thanks for the wisdom Socrates." Ron's eyes fell on the only door to the padded cell.
He rushed to the door and banged his body against it. "Someone help me, I don't belong in here!"
A slot in the middle of the door snapped opened. A pair of dark eyes stared at Ron intently.
"Hey, you've got to let me out of here man," Ron pleaded. "I'm not like these guys."
"You're right," said the voice behind the door. "You're not like them. You're different."
The door popped open and Ron stared at the impossibly tall man dressed as an orderly.
"Wow, why are you not in the NBA?"
"Just follow the snake," the tall man said.
"Follow the snake?" Ron looked down towards the ground, just as a large green snake slithered past his foot. "Right… follow the snake. Like things aren't weird enough."
Ron turned back towards the room. "Aren't you going to close the door, they might escape?"
The tall man just shrugged. "Don't worry about them. They had their chance."

Somewhere in the Atlantic
"This is close enough," Kim said as Gemini's island came into view. "If we get any closer to the island, they're sure to spot us. Thanks for the ride Mr. Sparks."
Hal Sparks brought the boat to a complete stop. "No problemo Ms. Possible, it's the least I can do after you saved my daughter from those mutant catfish"
"I never heard about any mutant catfish."
Kim turned to Anthony. "Did you say something?"
"Huh? No I was just talking to myself" He quickly placed an Aqua Lung regulator into his mouth.
"Are you sure you're ready for this?"
Anthony just nodded; Kim noticed the look of excitement in his eyes before he dived into the ocean.
"I guess that was a yes," she said, before following after him into the dark water
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Enough!" Gemini pounded his fist onto the table. The celebrating henchman froze in place. The party music came to an abrupt stop as confetti continued to rain down in the room.
"Need I remind you idiots that our main army was destroyed when GJ HQ self destructed, which means two things. One, we didn't get any of their secret technology, and two, we're vulnerable to any form of counterattack. But you may ask who would attack us. Well there's a) my sister Betty she's still alive and b) Kim Possible is also currently still alive. And why are they alive? Because our attack on Middleton failed miserably"
Gemini heard the pop of champagne cork and turned towards the sound.
"Gemini, as the hip kids say, chillax ok. We lost the battle but trust me; we're winning the war big man." He poured the champagne into two glasses and handed one to Gemini.
"Let me guide you towards this particular computer screen." He ushered Gemini towards his laptop "Have you seen the W.E.E message boards. Yeah I know what you're thinking; yes I actually do work on my laptop sometimes" He nudged Gemini's ribs "you know what I'm saying, 'LOL'. You spend a lot of time locked in the old office."
"Just get to the point" Gemini seethed
"Let me read a little of the messages to you."
Gemini I always thought you were an incompetent jackass but bombing a U.S city and attacking Global Justice. I've had a change of heart, where do I sign up; Sincerely Gunpowder Gadwin former member of the Red Army faction.
OMG GEMINI YOU ARE TEH COOL. W.E.E FTW; AFAIK GJ IS SO FUBAR. RON STOPPABLE BRAIN DAMAGE? ROFLMAO KIM POSSIBLE IS SOL. IMHO W.E.E IS MY KIND OF PLACE IYKWIM. WE NEED A F2F…. HAND
نا تلاقيت معا ومطر نار على ال إينفيدلس. سيركض النهور سوفت أحمر مع دمهم. مجنونة إيسلميك أصوليّة"
"What did that last one mean?"
"I have no idea, but the point is, because of your declaration of war against the world, thousands of ruthless, cutthroat, evil villains, and terrorists are begging to sign up… Gemini, bubby, you're like a rock star of the villain community. Life is good, so enjoy it."
Gemini reflected on it for a moment and then a smile crept to his face "I guess you're right Judah, I should enjoy our success."
"You hear that lads! The boss says let's party!"
A roar of approval went up among the henchman.
Judah raised his champagne glass. "Ain't no part like a W.E.E party…"
"Cuz W.E.E parties don't stop," the henchman roared back at him.
When the music returned, an email alert popped up Judah's laptop
The bosses are calling.
Gemini and his henchman continued to party as Judah slipped away unnoticed.

"Man, I tell you I was this close to quitting," said ZetaEta, "but now we are going to be huge. I can totally feel it."
"Yeah totally," replied LamandaPi, "I wish I was a fly on the wall when Dr. Director… hey what's that?" He pointed towards the floor.
"Look like lip gloss."
LamandaPi picked it up off the floor. "Well, don't mind if I do."
"Oh man, you're not going to use that are you?"
"So what if I am?"
"Dude, someone else was using it. That is so gorchy?"
"Gorchy? What are you twelve?" He opened the lip-gloss releasing a cloud of knockout gas. It only took one sniff of the gas to drop both them.
As soon as their body hit the floor, Kim and Anthony dropped down from the ceiling.
"That was easy enough," Anthony quipped.
"It's always this easy," Kim replied. "Now according to Wade, there should be a vent around here somewhere. We can go through the vent and crawl deeper into the facility until we find Gemini."
"Or…" Anthony was barely able to contain the excitement in his voice.
"Or…now I don't normally do this, but we can searchfor Geminiby foot."
"That's going to lead to a lot of fights."
"Yeah."
"A lot of fights mean a lot of collateral damage."
"Actually, I believe the dictionary defines collateral damage as the unintentional harm to persons or property as the result of military action."
This is one of the greatest moments of my life. "I'm ok with that if you are."
"Good just stay close to me and if you get in trouble just---"
"Call your name. Gotcha." Anthony caught the puzzled look on her face. "This is for Ron."
"Right, for Ron," Kim said solemnly, before kicking down the nearest door.

"Judah, we gave you permission to make contact with him, not to throw him off an airship!"
Judah stood alone in the center room surrounded by six large screens that went up from the ceiling to the floor. "With all do respect Adder; I don't really see the problem."
"He's in coma!"
Judah put his hand up. "Urutu, please look at the big picture. I threw him off the airship and he survived without any help. Am I the only one that finds that fact pretty darn exciting?"
"You impudent young---"
"Now hold on Mamba. Judah, you are a favored member of The Brotherhood, but your methods at this time seem a bit too brash. You were allowed to make first contact with Stoppable, not turn him into a vegetable."
"Brothers," exclaimed Judah, "are we experiencing a lack of faith. I assure you gentlemen that things will work for the best. Fate is on our side."
The six members sighed. " Judah, please try to contain your 'enthusiasm' unless you are given specific orders."
Judah lowered his head. "I understand sir. Now, may I bring up the subject of Kim Possible and the Scion?"
The six members became eerily silent. Judah could feel the anxiety pouring out of the computer screens.
"Krait, in my humble opinion, although I have been having fun it would be best to eliminate the----"
Krait put his hand up. "We appreciate your sentiment but…" he cleared his throat, "it has been decided," he looked at the other members, "that at this time, their elimination is not necessary."
"Is that so?"
"But that does not mean that lessons are not to be given. For them to eventually understand, they need to first learn their place."
"Exactly what I was thinking sir. May I ask about our other projects?"
"Everything is proceeding as planned. You should just concentrate on getting W.E.E to where it needs to be."
"Leave everything to me."
Suddenly a large explosion rocked the area. Alarms began to scream throughout the facility.
WARNING, WARNING, INTRUDER ALERT INTRUDERT ALERT. INTRUDERS IN THE COMMISERY
"What in the world is that?"
"That?" Judah smiled. "That can only be the Delilah to our Samson." The initial explosion was followed by another "And apparently the whelp has come along with her."
"As of now, no harm shall come to Gemini. Judah. He is to be considered a valuable partner; you have permission to deal with this situation as you please."
"I'll get right on it sir!" Judah turned away.
"Judah, have fun with it, but no deaths."
"I'll try Krait, I'll try."
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Fifteen henchmen on the left, eighteen on the right, anyway you look at it they were completely surrounded. Thirty-three against two, the odds weren't good.
For the henchman
"You're a pretty good fighter," Kim told him, as they stood back to back, moving in a small circle.
Anthony huffed and wiped the sweat for his forehead. "I should be, I spent most of my childhood learning at least eighteen different forms of kung fu"
"Impressive, were they self taught."
"Most of them, I learned the first five from my mother."
"Your mother knows kung fu?"
"Yeah she knows sixtee… I mean six different forms of it. So are you ready for round two?"
"I was waiting for you," Kim replied.
Anthony stepped forward and the nearest henchman charged. He blocked his punch with his forearm and quickly jabbed him quickly three times in the chest. Anthony ducked and a split later Kim flew over him with a flying roundhouse kick into the henchman sending him crashing into a group of more henchmen.
All the remaining henchmen attacked at once.
Kim grabbed one henchman by the neck and sent her knee crashing into his gut. Then she shoved him into the path of another charging henchman, causing them to collide. She side kicked another, setting him up for an elbow to the back of the head from Anthony.

"Wow, they are really kicking ass!" said Judah as he watched from the security room.
"Why don't you send some androids after them?" Gemini screamed.
Judah didn't take his eyes off the screen. "We've only got two left."
"That Possible roach, she is the bane of my existence."
"I thought your sister was the bane of your existence."
"A man can have two banes of his existence! I have more grim news. The radar has also picked up a few Global Justice airships. Just as I thought, Betty has managed to scrape up a few people for a counter attack. So my question to you is what do we do now?"
Judah pointed. "Gemini be cool."
"What?"
"Just be cool, everything's under control. The two remaining androids are going to be escorting you to a nearby helicopter. I want you to wait there until I get there."
"Alright, what have about the rest of them?"
Judah pointed to the screen. "Oh, you mean the henchman? They're screwed! We're leaving without them."
Gemini groaned. "God, I'm going to get a call from the union."
XXXXX
Kim attacked a henchman with a flurry of punches; she stopped mid-attack when three more charged her, two from the sides and one from the back. Thinking quickly, she leaped into split, kicking the two attacking from the side in their faces. She landed back on the ground, grabbed the first henchman by the shoulders, and flipped over him. Once her feet touched the ground she back-kicked him into his oncoming partner knocking them both into a nearby wall.
A henchman grabbed Anthony from behind. Instinctively, Anthony elbowed him in the gut, turned, and backhanded him away. Another attacked with a punch, Anthony caught his arm and using his enemy's own momentum flipped him over his shoulder. He hit another in the gut and finished him off with an uppercut. One more jumped at him, Anthony kicked him while he was still in the air. The henchman landed on his feet holding onto his stomach, before he collapsed from the pain.
Anthony felt another presence behind him he spun quickly, thrusting his elbow out intending to plant it into his enemy's face. He cut his attack short when he realized he was attacking his own mother. He stopped his elbow a mere inch from her face.
"Sorry, I didn't know it was you."
"Same here," she replied. Anthony looked down to notice that she was in a kicking position and her right foot had stopped inches away from his groin.
"Wow…" he gulped, "that would have hurt a lot more than an elbow to the face."
They relaxed and surveyed the handiwork; bodies covered the floor, dozens of W.E.E henchmen writhed on the ground and crying out in pain. The entire room had been completely been cleaned out.
Anthony cracked his knuckles. "That was a nice warm-up."
"It's not over yet there's always one more---"
She was interrupted when an entire wall suddenly came crashing down. From the wreckage emerged an eleven-foot tall robot, with a glass dome. Behind the glass dome, another henchman could be seen piloting the machine.
"---Distraction," Kim continued. "We don't have time for this, they're obviously buying time for Gemini."
"So lets end this quick!"
They both charged at the same time, Anthony on the right and Kim to the left. The robot targeted Anthony first, bringing its fist down on him, but he rolled under the attack and slid between the robot's legs. Mustering all the strength he could, he attacked the back of the bots knee area. His punch significantly damaged the robot leg enough to drop it down to one knee. The henchman inside the machine scrambled frantically at the controls, when he saw a shadow beginning to form over the cockpit. He looked up just in time to see Kim Possible's foot break through the glass dome and head straight for his face. It was the last thing he saw before everything went dark.
Kim landed with a roll; she continued rolling away as the robot came crashing down after her. She stopped as the bot collapsed behind her, kicking up a wake of dust.
"That was awesome!" Anthony exclaimed.
"Thank you," she replied, while picking pieces of glass off her clothes. "But we really don't have time to be complimenting each other. We need to find away out here."
Anthony pointed towards the collapsed wall. "Is that a good enough exit for you?"
XXXXXXX
Judah typed furiously into the main computer terminal.
"What's going on?" Gemini inquired
"I'm just making some preparations." After a minute of rapid typing, he stopped. "Alright big man, get to the copter and await my arrival. The remaining androids will protect you until then."
"What are you going to be doing?"
Judah smiled. "Gemini, what kind of gentleman would I be if I didn't greet my guests."
XXXXXX
Kim and Anthony and stared at the fork in the hallway. "You take the left and I'll take the right." Anthony responded quickly, making a move to rush down the right hallway.
Kim pulled him back. "Hold on, are you going to be alright on your own?"
"Didn't you see me back there? I'll be fine."
She stared at him silently.
"Trust me, I'll be fine."
She nodded. "Fine, but only because Ron asked me to." She let him go and ran down the left hallway.
Anthony stayed back for a moment before heading down the right path. He reached for his ear as he ran.
"Aaron, are you there?"
"It's about time. I thought you had forgotten all about me."
"How could I forget anyone as annoying as you Aaron." Anthony rammed his shoulder into a door at the end of the hallway. He found himself in a room of complete darkness.
"By the way, what happened to that sword you had that you fought Judah with? I could have sworn you intended to shove it up his---"
"I had to leave it, my mother… Kim has this thing about killing and the sword kind of screamed 'I'm ready to hack someone's head off'."
Aaron laughed. "She made you leave the sword! What did she do, threaten to ground you? Give you a timeout?"
"No she didn't," Anthony sighed, "but I just can't say no to her, I never could."
Abruptly the overhead lights came on. Anthony watched as the lights came on one after another in a straight line leading down another long hallway, illuminating a pathway to a door at the far end of the hallway. Excluding the pathway, everything else remained in darkness.
"I'm guessing someone wants you to go through that door."
"It's probably a trap," Anthony said.
"You're probably right, but I guess that fact doesn't concern you since you're already running towards the door."
"Ah Aaron, you know me so well."
XXXXXXX
It's probably a trap, Kim thought, but that fact didn't concern now. She was already racing down the illuminated hallway. She burst through the doorway, and was surprised to find that it led outside.
She stepped through the doorway and found herself stepping onto the beach. Apparently, she had just gone through a secret exit that led to the other side of the island. The exit was probably meant for Gemini, he'd most likely have had an escape boat waiting for him. She scanned the area but she couldn't find any sign of a boat or Gemini.
"Ah Helen…or should I say Kimberly of Troy," Judah exclaimed, as he stepped into her field of vision. "The woman who's beauty destroyed an empire."
Kim clenched his fist. "You're the one who threw Ron off the airship."
"Now, I can explain that---"
Before he could finish Kim struck him hard in the face. Judah stumbled backwards clutching his nose.
He wiped the blood from his nose, took a deep and exhaled. "Congratulations, you've surprised me."

"Follow the snake? Why am I following a snake? Where is the snake taking me? And why I am a walking through an area of perpetual darkness." Ron whispered to himself as he continued following the snake. "This has to be a dream. On the other hand, maybe I'm dead; I do remember rapidly plummeting towards the earth."
Do not worry I will not allow you to die.
Ron stopped. "What was that?" He looked around, but of course he couldn't see anything in the darkness, except for the snake. His current situation was quite peculiar.
"Hello… Mr. Disembodied voice are you still there?"
I have waited a long time for you SSSSStoppable. I've waited a long time for sssssomeone with your boldnessssss.
"Boldness?"
"Yes boldnesssssss! Boldnessssss has geniusssss, power, and magic in it."
Ron recognized the quote. "Johann Wolfgang von Goethe… wait a minute… why do I know who Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is?"
You know what I want you to know.
"And who do I thank for the vital piece of trivial knowledge?"
You are following him.
Ron looked at the snake. "You're the snake. The snake is talking to me. Actually, the snake is not really talking to me since I hear its voice in my head. I'm thinking I should go back to that padded cell."
Follow me! The snake slithered forward.
Ron shrugged. "Why not."
They walked on for another moment or so until the environment around them changed completely. The darkness had given way to a bright blue skyline. A gentle breeze blew through his hair as Ron looked off into the horizon.
"Wow, where are we?"
This should be a familiar area.
"Hey we're on the roof of Middleton Towers." He ran to the edge. "What are we doing up here---"
That's when he noticed the destroyed city. Destroyed buildings, raging fires, Middleton lay in ruins.
"What happened?"
The more rapidly a civilization progresses, the sooner it dies for another to rise in its place. That is what happens to a civilization without proper leadership.
" Havelock Ellis," Ron replied absentmindedly, as he stared in horror at the destroyed downtown area of his hometown. "Is this the future?"
The only way to predict the future is to have power to shape it. The snake suddenly began to cough up, a translucent slimy mucus.
"Ewww, what are you doing?"
An egg emerged from the snake's mouth, and rolled towards Ron's feet.
"Ugh, you can't imagine how wrongsick that is"
Eat it
"Excuse me?"
Eat and return to your world.
"So… what you are saying is… that if I eat this, I'll go back to my world?"
Yes, this is my first gift to you.
"So… I have to eat that?"
Yes
"That thing that just came out of your mouth, and is making my stomach do back flips just by staring at it?"
Yes
Ron picked the egg up. "Oh God…" He cringed as he popped the egg in his mouth and slowly began to chew.
He gasped, his throat clenched short, his brain felt like it was on fire. Ron dropped to the floor in pain.
"Doctor come quickly!" the nurse called out. She grabbed Ron by the arms and held him down as he trashed violently against the hospital bed.

Anthony cautiously entered the empty communication room. His head swiveled back and forth, as he searched for any traps or surprise ambushes.
"Nothing here."
"Are you positive?"
"Yeah, I've already done a deep scan. No one is around, but there is some interesting stuff in that toolbox in the corner of the room."
Anthony walked over to the toolbox. He removed two round objects from the box. "They look grenades."
"Finally, we meet young one."
"What the hell?"
Anthony turned around as six large screens lowered from the ceiling, and they began to revolve around him. Six hooded figures appeared on the screen.
"Who are you?"
"We are the head council of the Brotherhood."
XXXXXXXXXXX
"Normally I wouldn't bring myself to hit a woman---"
Kim attempted to jump back but Judah was already upon her. He backhanded her with such force that she slid across the floor.
Kim braced herself against the wooden door she came through; she stepped to the side just as Judah's fist smashed through, shattering it into tiny splinters.
"--- but in your case, I'll make an exception."
Kim scrambled away from Judah and took another fighting stance.
Judah shook his head. "Alright, I'm sorry, we may have gotten off on the wrong foot."
"You think so huh?" Kim charged at him and attacked with a kick.
Judah blocked the attack with his forearm. He smiled at her. "Nice boots."
Kim kept her leg in the air. "Guess what?"
"What?"
"These boots were made for stomping." She brought her leg down hard, smashing her heel into Judah's right foot.
"OW!" Before Judah could react to the initial pain, Kim jabbed him in the throat.
Judah grabbed his throat and stumbled backwards again. "Why you little b—" he rasped. He continued to back away before regaining his composure.
"Witty, beautiful, and dangerous, you're a triple threat," he said through clenched teeth. "I'm starting to see why you've caused so much trouble."
He rolled his neck back and forth. "I guess I'm going to have to get a bit serious here." He took a fighting stance of his own. "Alright red, start showin how funky and strong is your fight."
XXXXXXXX
"The Brotherhood! I can't believe it"
"Young one, we're here to offer you a truce."
Confusion flashed across Anthony's face. "A truce?"
"Yes, a truce. We at The Brotherhood are a family, and we consider you and your mother extensions to this family. We urge you to yield and join us in creating a better world."
"Better world?" Anthony scoffed. "I've seen this better world and its nothing but chaos."
"Yes, mistakes have been made in the past or in the future as the case may be."
The council members chuckled to themselves. "Ah time travel... it's a cornucopia of disturbing concepts. We at The Brotherhood will be taking a different route, a more efficient one, which will lead to a promising new future. The only question that remains is whether you and your mother will be part of the future; your fate is in our hands."
Anthony hurled the toolbox at the screen of the council member who was speaking to him. The box collided with the screen, creating massive cracks that pulsated with electricity.
"I swear that as long as I'm alive, I'll never let The Brotherhood come to power, and I'll never let you lay a hand on my father!"
"Brave words from a powerless boy," replied another member.
"You forget, I'm not supposed to exist in this world. I'll gladly give my life to bring you all down. I've got nothing to lose."
"We seem to find ourselves at an interesting impasse, think about our offer for awhile, we hope you reconsider" The members began to sign off. One by one their screens began to go dark until only one remained.
"You'll learn soon," the last one said, "how absurd it is to try and fight fate." The council member signed off a moment later.
"Fate only takes you so far, you jerk. I'll decide the final outcome."
XXXXXXXX
"Well what an interesting turn of events." Judah held Kim up by the throat, as she struggled against his grasp. "Judah one, women's lib zero."
He let her go and planted a well-placed kick to her chest. "Wha…what happened to all that grrrrllll power?"
Kim pulled herself up to her feet; her body had been badly bruised. "I'm going get you for what you did to Ron."
She charged at him again and attempted a jump kick, but Judah batted her out of the air. She landed on her feet and went right back on the offensive, with a series of quick punches. Judah effortlessly dodged them all. She punched him and countered with a block of her own. He ducked underneath it and attempted an uppercut, but she crossed her arms and trapped his hand between them. Momentarily surprising him, Kim took an opportunity to head butt him in the face.
"Ow," Judah cried, "you fight dirty, you dirty, dirty girl! You just continue to surprise" He changed his fighting stance again "Well here I come agai… ooofff." Judah got the wind knocked out of him when Anthony's foot connected with his stomach, knocking him away.
"Where have you been?" Kim asked.
"Sorry, I got lost," Anthony, answered. "So, did you have a hard time with him?"
"Actually, I was just getting serious."
Judah picked himself off the ground. "I've been taking a lot of unnecessary hits tonight, I must be slipping."
The sound of an approaching helicopter diverted everyone's attention away from the fight. The winds from its spinning rotor blades blew sand all around them, before it safely landed a few yards away.
"Gemini," Kim stated angrily, "you're next."
"Judah, we've waited too long, Global Justice is on their way. We need to get off this rock!"
"Be cool Gemini, be cool," He turned to Anthony. "You don't how much will power it's taking for me not to kill you. But I'm done playing around, this time somebody is going to get hurt."
"That's fine with us," Anthony and Kim rushed at Judah.
He deflected their initial attack. Anthony positioned himself behind Judah, dropped to the ground and lashed out his leg for a sweep kick. Kim jumped up for a spinning kick. Judah reacted a split second after both attacks started. He performed a standing back flip. Kim's kicked sailed right over his face as he body twisted in the air. Anthony's kick missed his legs by inches once he got them off the ground.
Judah landed on the heels of his feet and recovered quickly. He clotheslined Kim into the sand, then clasped his large hand around Anthony's face, lifting him off the ground, and hurling him into the shallow end of the sea.
Judah laughed through his heavy breathing. "Do you see that? Have you noticed the difference in power? HAVE YOU LEARNED YOUR PLACE IN THIS WORLD YET?"
He inhaled and exhaled. "Made me get sand in my mouth." He briskly walked towards the helicopter.
"She still alive," Gemini said, as Judah approached. Judah turned back to see Kim crawling along the ground.
"So?"
"So this" Gemini signaled for one of the two androids. The android pulled out a rocket launcher and aimed it at Kim's body.
Hmmmm… they said no deaths, but if Gemini kills her out of "self defense" then there's nothing I can do about it. This is an interesting situation

"What the heck is going on?" stammered the doctor, as he watched Ron's body float inches above the hospital bed.
"I don't know," cried the nurse.
A shockwave emanated from Ron's body, knocking the nurse and the doctor unconscious and blowing the windows outwards.
Ron slowly floated back to the bed, a look of contentment on his face. He would rest peacefully for the rest of the night.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Lets see what fate has in store for Ms Possible.
The missile screeched through the air, as it closed in on its intended target, the world's greatest teen hero.
Kim looked up to see impeding death screaming towards her. "I can't move in time."
As she prepared herself for oblivion, she felt someone grab her body and lift her off the ground.
"Yes," Gemini exclaimed as a portion of the beach exploding into a rain of sand.
"Oh crap, something feels different." Judah turned towards the robot pilot. "Get this plane off the ground now!"
Kim strained to see through her blurring vision. "Anthony," she said weakly. She could swear he was glowing.
"Yeah?"
"Get them for Ron, please and thank you," she said before passing out.
"Can do"
Judah could feel a panic rising in body. "How is this possible?" He began to relax when the helicopter lifted off the ground. He looked back down at the beach. The rain of sand continued to drift back towards the earth, making it hard to scan the beach area.
"Where the hell is he?"
The sound of a person exhaling alerted Judah's to the human presence hanging onto to the helicopter's skids.
Anthony pulled himself up like a chimpanzee and lunged himself into the open doorway of the helicopter.
"You persistent little rat."
"Shut up." Anthony slammed his fist into Judah's chest. He had never felt so confident in his life or so powerful. The power he was getting from his Monkey Power now was greater than it had ever been.
Anthony and Judah traded blows in the helicopter as Gemini watched helplessly. Finally Anthony found an opening and connected with a haymaker to Judah's face.
It might have been the fact that it had been a long day, and he hadn't eaten breakfast, or maybe it had something to do with seeing his tooth flying past Gemini's face followed by a spray of blood and spittle that enraged Judah to no end.
With rattlesnake like quickness, he snatched Anthony by the throat with his right hand and hit him with an open palm attack in the chest with his left. Anthony's body immediately went limp, the monkey power quickly faded away. Judah hung his body over the ocean.
Anthony could see the veins appearing on Judah's face. "You better praise your father's name that I'm not ripping out your throat right now with my bare hands!"
Anthony chuckled softly. "I win."
"Yeah," Judah said sarcastically, "you delusional jackass. I hope you know how to swim."
Judah let Anthony go and watched as his body slowly fell towards the ocean. That's when he heard the tiny beep. He looked down to see the tiny grenade rolling across the floor.
"Damn!" He reached for Gemini.
Anthony fell towards the earth; he slowly counted the seconds away in his head. "One, two, three, boom!"
The helicopter erupted with a powerful explosion. The shockwave from it hit Anthony like a truck and sent him flailing into the ocean.
I can't move a muscle, Anthony thought as he began to sink into water, I'm going to drown. It's funny dying before you've even been conceived.
He closed his eyes and sighed as he sank.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Dial the number, call my name, day or night, it's all I need, say the word."
Anthony awoke instantly at the sound of her voice. He suddenly found himself back at the beach.
"I'm alive?" He tried to move but it was still too painful to do so.
Kim sat next to his prone body. "Yeah, I had to drag your body at out of the ocean."
"Thank you, that must have been hard to do."
"That's an understatement," she replied. "But you gotta do what you gotta do"
"I broke your no killing policy, I'm sorry."
She moved the hair from her face; she was obviously thinking about Ron. "Right now, I'm not that upset about it. Maybe I will be later."
Anthony inhaled some of the salty air "Were you singing just now?"
"Yeah singing sometimes helps me relieve some stress. I'm sorry if it disturbed you."
"No, actually I find it very soothing. Can you sing again?"
She leaned back and began to sing. "Have you heard, that I'm all about savin' your world. All you have to do is say the word
