AN: I don't own Kim Possible or Samurai X and anything that I do that shows up in this story I will be sure to point out

The Sword of the Revolution


Prologue

The fires were still burning even now. Even after the five nights and four days of attacks and counterattacks the fires that signaled the start of the battle still burned. Even though the fighting was over the flames still devoured the remains of the buildings, nature, and the dead.

The city of one and a half million had not fared well. The citizens of the city had been misled when the attack began by its corrupt leadership. They had begun evacuating too late. Half of the populace was now homeless, jobless, and foodless. The other half was dead.

The Katsura River had piles of wreckage and debris clogging its wake. The Shirakawa Canal had been broken and was flooding lower portions of the sprawling city. The once mighty public transportation center was in shambles. The Universities that were the pride of not just the city but to the country as a whole were smashed. The only bright side to the destruction was that it was not absolute. The great museum of the metropolis was still intact, as were the most prestigious and venerable temples the city offered.

On top of the mountain in Fushimi-Ku, one of the ancient cities' wards, A lone figure watched from one such temple. The figure of the very young man observed as his troops, tired as they were, set about putting out the fires they had started. His cross-marked visage saw the destruction the army under his command had reeked upon their foes. The sand haired, yellow-eyed general observed his deeds, the deeds of his men, and the deeds of his enemy. They all bared down on his soul causing him great and terrible pain, shame, and guilt. So then as the yellow in his eyes slowly faded into brown the young man turned with newfound resolve.

"Continue with the clean up, and refugee work Colonel Yi. I am going to speak to His Majesty the Emperor." The boy said.

"Yes General Himura." Was the stalwart reply.


Chapter 1: Dealing with Dreams, Visions and the Past

In Middleton, Colorado USA it was not an uncommon occurrence for the sun to be shining in summer. Which is exactly what was happening; however it was an uncommon occurrence for a teenager to look depressed on the first day of summer vacation. Which is exactly how one "basic average girl" Kim Possible looked. That is until, "Hey KP" sounded the voice of Monique Jones, Kim Possible's best female friend.

"Hey Monique what's up?"

Monique Smirked, "Not much I just noticed that you were zoned out, so I thought I should come over and pull you out of it."

"Thanks, I don't know what I would do without you these days."

By "these days" Kim meant since her best friend since PreK Ron Stoppable had left Middleton with out so much as a word to any of his loved ones.

FLASHBACK

One Year Ago

Newly graduated freshmen Kim Possible sat on her bed in her pajamas getting ready for bed, and hoping to dream about a young man who she was going to be spending a lot of time with over the summer, one Josh Mankey. Suddenly Kim was pulled from her thoughts by a wrapping on her window. Jumping off the bed Kim ran to the seal and saw Ron with a somewhat somber look on his face. Opening the window to let him in she could not help but smile.

"Ron What are you doing here now it's almost 12:30 if my dad catches you there will be hell to pay."

Ron sat down on her bed facing the window, while Kim sat at her desk chair.

" I know KP I just really needed to talk to you."

"You couldn't have called?"

"I wanted to see your face"

Kim blushed lightly at the comment while Ron was trying his best to clarify. While he to was blushing.

"I- I- I meant that it's important and I needed to speak face to face"

Ron was thankful that Kim accepted his explanation.

"Ok Ron go ahead. I'm here for you."

"KP have you ever… dreamed of something and had it happen?"

"Are you asking me if I have ever seen the future before it happened?"

"No… Well sort of…"

Kim waited for Ron to continue. When he didn't after a few minuets she asked.

"Ron are you okay? Did Drakken hit you with some ray or something?"

"No… Kim have you ever felt pulled to be a part of something bigger than yourself?"

Hopping to light the mood Kim joked

"Is this like the time we were six and you wanted to join the circus until you found out monkeys worked there to?"

Ron smiled at the very old and happy memory.

"Actually Ron I do know what you are talking about." Ron suddenly looked sharper than Kim, ever remembered seeing him. "I fell compelled to do the save the world thing with you, Wade, and Rufus."

Ron nodded and looked truly thoughtful.

"Do you really need me around to help people KP?"

It was Kim's turn to look thoughtful.

"Maybe, Maybe not either way I do know it wouldn't mean nearly as much to me."

Ron abruptly stood and walked toward the window, stopped and turned toward Kim and looked her directly in the eye and gave a sad smile.

"KP… I wish I were as strong as you."

He then turned and went out the window he had come in. Running to her window she softly called to her best friend.

"I'll call when I get back from my date with Josh we can talk more" and then to herself "please take care of yourself Ron"

END FLASHBACK

When Kim had returned from the date and called Ron's house she found that he was not there, and that his parents were under the impression that he and Kim had gone on a mission. This had unleashed a firestorm of activity on Kim's part, first calling Wade to find Ron with a tracking chip. However Wade had taken Ron's chip in for repairs and upgrades. Then Kim quickly tracked down each and every one of her villains looking for any clues to Ron's whereabouts. Surprisingly none of them had anything to do with his disappearance. Finally three days after he disappeared a letter from Ron arrived saying that he was studying abroad, but no hints as to his whereabouts. His parents though angry were very relieved and a bit happy, hopping that this was a sign that Ron was going to take school more seriously.

Kim was still mad and at the time if she had been able she would have beat the hell out of Ron. Now she would let it all slide just to see his face and hear his voice.

"Kim… Kim… KIM!" Monique screamed.

"You did it again. When I see that skinny ass white boy I am going to make him wish he had never been born."

"Sorry Mon, Look don't worry about it. Lets talk about the BBQ party my parents are throwing tomorrow." Kim smiled, "You and your parents are coming right?"

"You know it girl. My parents can't wait, they can't remember the last time they have been to any kind of a party"

The two girls laughed at that. Monique turned towards Kim and gave a sly grin.

"So are the Drakes going to be there?"

Blushing slightly Kim responded, "Yes"

"So are you and Eric going to get tighter?"

"Mon you know I don't like Eric like that. I mean he's very cute and nice, but…"

"He's not Ron?"

"What?!, Ron? You know it was never like that between me and Ron."

"Sure, Sure Kim, but it might have been with the way you acted around Josh when Ron left."

Monique was referring to the fact that when Ron first left, Kim became despondent and compared every guy to Ron including her boyfriend Josh.

"Okay I know I really wasn't fair to Josh, but I got out of that phase. I just don't feel a connection to Eric."

"Well he feels one for you so for the sake of this party let the boy down easy, and send him my way"

Kim gave a hearty laugh and smiled.

The party that began at 6:30 was in full swing by the time the strikes of lighting first lit up the sky at 7:30. Not wanting the fun to end all the guests and the Possibles had moved indoors. By 8:00 When the rain started its downpour the living room and kitchen was filled with the whole cheer squad (even Bonnie), Monique and her parents, The Drakes, Ron's Parents, Mr. Dr. P's friends Chen and Ramesh, and their new college Dr. Renton and her son Felix who would be joining Middelton high as a member of Kim's class.

The guests were all in a little circle talking about the kid's plans for summer. When one Tara King posed a question during a lull in the conversation.

"So Mr.&Mrs. Stoppable have you heard from Ron any?"

Speaking up Ruth Stoppable addressed Tara's question

"No dear, He hasn't written in a little over three months, and it was barley a paragraph!"

Mrs. Drake spoke, "I didn't know you had a son, where is he?"

"He is studying abroad, or at least I hope he is. He should be here in the same grade as Kim and the others."

"My… I hope he's all right. Did he just take up and leave?"

"Yes! Can you believe it? Just up and left! I don't know where he got the gumption to pull that off!"

Kim bowed her head a bit and blushed slightly hopping no one would notice. Mrs. Stoppable began again.

"That boy! I still haven't decided whither or not to wring his neck and hug him to death when he gets hom-"

CRASH!!

Everyone in the room jumped at the sound of thunder rolling through the house. The house was silent as the rain pelted the window. When suddenly the doorbell rang. Jumping up from her chair Kim walked towards the door.

"I'll get it."

Reaching for the knob Kim looked through the peephole, but she could not see the visitor's face. So unlocking the door and swinging it open she came face to face with last person she expected to see.

"Hey KP."
