No sex in this part either.
The helicopter arrived just when Wade said it would. The paramedics took good care of Ron. They had him hooked up to their equipment and in the travois and in the chopper in less than four minutes. As they took off, Kim looked out the window to see if there was any signs of Yori or the ninjas. Nothing but empty country side. They handed the Ronnunicator back to her. The batteries were dead. It had been keeping Ron alive, acting as a pacemaker when necessary. It had been necessary.
The trip to the hospital was a blur to her. All that mattered was willing Ron's heart to keep beating. Willing him to keep breathing. Willing him to live. To live for them. To live for her. Nothing else mattered. She didn't really become aware of where she was till they asked her to sit and wait here. They were outside ER. Her mother came running down the hall and into the room. She couldn't remember seeing her mother run like that nor could she remember that look on her mother's face before. The look of fear.
Kim sat there, looking down at the floor, feeling hollow. She started thinking about all of the stupid things she had done to Ron. The haircut and not wanting him to try out for the team mascot. All the things she had confided to him. Her crushes, Walter Nelson, Josh Mankey, Bobby Johnson, and Erik. Erik, God. Talk about one of the biggest mistakes of her life, but it did lead to Ron finally telling her how he felt about her. Hearing her talk about them must have eaten him up from the insides. But he never said a thing. He was her best friend.
Not knowing if it was shock setting in or the fact that she was already thinking of Ron in the past tense, she started crying. It didn't last long till she felt someone's hand on her shoulder. Looking up she saw Don and Lonnie. Don was trying to comfort her and hold back his own tears. Lonnie was trying to do the same, but not as well as Don.
"Are you alright Kim?" asked Don.
"There.....there wasn't anything I could do. I tried but I was seconds to late." Kim said, trying to stop crying.
Don pulled her into a hug. Lonnie came over and start rubbing her shoulders. "We know that if there had been anything that could have been done, you would have done it. Please, just tell us what happened." said Don.
Kim told them the entire story, leaving nothing out. The retelling seemed to calm her a little. After she was done Lonnie said that from what she knew of Yori, she would have wanted Kim to do exactly what she did.
Don said, "It sounds like it was a planned trap, and from the reaction that Monkey Fist had, you did manage to spoil it in some way. It could have been far worse. The first thing that Ron would have worried about is you. We'll have to wait for your mother to see about him."
"Wade called us to let us know what was happening. I'm sure he has started to search for what happened to Yori." said Lonnie.
Kim whipped the tears from her eyes with the heal of her hand and pulled out her Kimmunicator.
"Wade. What have you found out?"
"Not much yet Kim. We don't have that much to go on."
"Okay. Monkey Fist was first with Bates and then DNAmy showed up wear some sort of enviro suit. That would explain why the monkey ninjas were better than normal .They must have been genetically altered. She used a wand on Ron. Damn it! I left it at the scene! "
"It's okay Kim. Global Justice has already retrieved it. They are there now. Knowing Amy is involved will help narrow down the search. I've gotten in touch with Sensei. He arrived back at Yamanouchi the same time that Rufus showed up. He knew something was wrong and they started back right away. They should be here soon. Aa....... how's Ron?"
"Don't know yet. Mom's still in there. By the way Wade, you did good. Better than me."
"Naaa.. You kept him alive Kim. That's what's important. Look, I gotta...go. I must.....have some....dust in my eyes. I'll check in later."
"Sure Wade. Later"
"Where Hanna?" Kim asked the Stoppables.
"Your father met us as we were coming in." said Lonnie. " He voluntered to stay with her at the main lobby. She's not allowed in the ER waiting room because of her age."
"And for good reason." said Dr Possible as she came through the doors from seeing Ron. Addressing all three, she said." Okay, we're moving Ron up to an intensive care room. We have him stable for the moment, but I don't know how long that will last. It's going to look bad folks. I won't lie to you. He is hooked up to a lot of machinery and we don't know what is wrong with him. Everything checks out alright, but the only brain activity we can detect is his autonomic functions and they are weak. Far weaker than a person in a coma." Choosing her words carefully, she said, "Right now his conditions are similar to someone who is brain dead, but not entirely similar. I'm not going yo go into details here. We believe that if Ron can't snap out of it in about the next eight hours..........the only way will be to keep him alive will be on live support. If that happens................" her voice trailed off.
Everyone took a deep breath. Don came up to Dr Possible and said, "Thank you Anne for being honest with us. I am sure you are doing all that can possibly be done. When can we see him?"
"Let us get him to the room and settled in Don. Don, Lonnie, I am so sorry. I wish I had better news. Give us about 15 minutes and I'll take you to his room. You might want to go back to the main Lobby and talk to Hanna." Don and Lonnie turned and started to leave.
Turning to Kim she said, "Dear, I know you two are engaged but only the next of kin in intensive care."
"But mom!"
Don turned back and said, "Anne, she needs to be there. I'll explain why later."
"Okay Don. We'll talk." nodded Dr Possible.
They made there way back to the lobby area in silence. When they made it back, Kim found that Sensai was there with Rufus.
Sensai, seeing the surprise in Kim face, only said, "When the need is great, distance can be moved in but a few short steps. Please. Tell an old man what has happened."
Don and Lonnie moved off to the side to talk to Kim's mother.
After relating what happened, Sensai only said, "It seems that they managed to obtain the Monkey's Tail. Only it could do these things to Ronald-san and Monkey Fist himself." After explaining what the Tail does, he went on. "If Monkey Fist has captured Ronald-san's Chi-ez, then he will be able to add his MMP to himself. Even the Han would not be able to overcome such a foe. But, if what you said about Monkey Fist destroying the Tail before it was finished, then maybe the Han can still defeat him."
"But what about Ron's chi-ez. If it wasn't captured by the Tail, then it returned to Ron, didn't it?" asked Kim.
"Imagine pouring an piece of ice from a pitcher into a drinking glass. For a brief moment, the ice is in neither the pitch or the glass. You managed to break the glass so Monkey Fist could not use it. What happened to the ice I do not know. I do know that Ronald-san would have been proud of you. To foil Monkey Fist's plans." replied Sensai.
"What about Yori? Why would they take Yori?" asked Kim.
"Monkey Fist must have learned, after becoming the Yono, that Yori is the last living descendant of Toshimiru.
He will undoubtedly try and extract his revenge on her for the defeat and entrapment of the Yono's essence at the hands of Toshimiru."
"Kim." her mother said coming up behind her. "We have another problem, or at least you do. Did you and Ron ever talk about what his wishes would be if such a situation ever happened?"
"Well, yeah. He said that he would rather just be "let go" instead of putting everyone through hell, but......."
"Kim, did you know Ron had a living will?"
"Yeah mom. He told me about it. We were talking about it for after we got married. He didn't go into much details. Why?"
"Kim," Don said to her. "Ron had done a lot of thinking on this. About life versus quality of life. When he made his living will, he wanted quality of life. That's why he made us the executors. If it comes down to................. someone's got to make a choice."
"No. Please no. There's always a chance he'll come round. Please don't make that choice." pleaded Kim.
"Kim, last week Ron changed his will. We, Lonnie or I , don't have to make that decession. You do."
"What!?"
"You should have gotten the paperwork today. Ron changed his will last week naming you as the executor."
Kim was stunned into silence. Just then her mother came up to address all three.
"Okay. They have him settled in and I'm going to take you guys up, but only one can go in at a time. You'll see what I mean when we get there."
The trip to Ron's room was done in silence. Kim was still trying to come to grips with what Ron had trusted her to do. She loved Ron. How can she just let him slip away from her without trying to do something. Yet, she also knew that Ron didn't want to put her or the people he cared about through a living hell of waiting for the inevitable that could not be avoided or helped.
When they got to the room, it had four comfortable chairs, a door opposite the one they just came in and a large window next to it. The three stayed as far away from that window as they could. Anne lead Don to that door and they went in. After only a few minutes Don came out, visibly shaken to his core. "Lonnie, you might not want to go in there. Not now."
Lonnie looked at Don and trusting her husband nodded her head and sat down in one of the chairs and cried. Don went over to comfort her.
Looking at her daughter with questioning eyes, Anne waited. Kim, knowing what she had to do went to the door with her mother's hand on her shoulder and went in. There were technicians there, checking the monitors that were hooked up to Ron. Heartbeat, blood pressure, brain waves, resperation and she didn't know what else. She could barely see Ron for all the instruments and wires, but there he was. More pale than she had ever seen anyone alive, with a tube down his throat and an air hose leading to his nose. All she could hear was the heatbeat monitor telling all that his heart was beating. She just stood there looking at him.
She felt her mother yank her out of the room. She thought she saw Don and Lonnie look up at her.
And then she fainted.
