The Monkey's Tail

Sorry for the delay folks. Sometimes the real world bites back. Truth is I just couldn't get in the mood to write. But here is the next part. No sex. I just have to lay foundations for the rest of the story.

As Kim and Ron were falling asleep, a lone figure was making it's way down the near empty tunnel, hurrying to it's master. The boxes and barrels marked with the circle within a triangle meant nothing to him, his master did.

He knew his master would not be pleased with him. His master could look into his brain and see what he had seen or hear what he had heard. He had been unable to get into the Possible home to spy on the meeting that had been held there. The extreme lights had cancel out his ability to blend with shadows and the guards saw him whenever he tried to get close.

He had been able to get into the hospital once, several days ago, as far as the nurse's station. He was able to look at the monitors for Ron Stoppable and read the charts, but that was the only time. They had added more security after that.

He could hear and smell the others now. They were in the great round room where the master was either testing or teaching the newest members of the great army. From the sounds, their numbers had increased. A lot. He wondered briefly if there were more of the "spy" versions like himself. He only knew of three others.

As he entered the room he spotted his master between two monkeys that were larger than the master. They were teaching some new recruits the fine art of how to be ninjas. He knew they had been "improved," to learn quickly.

The master turned and looked at him as he entered the room. Saying something to the two larger one, the master indicated a smaller room behind the platform from which he normally addressed the army. They arrived at the door at the same time.

He hurried to open the door for the master and bowed as he past him. Entering and closing the door behind him, he returned to his bow until he was addressed.

The room was long and filled with a great amount of equipment. Mostly old television sets that only showed black and white and what the master called "antiquated computers."

"Well Lamont, tell me what you have found out."

Lamont told him first about his visit to the hospital. The master entered his mind and read what the reports said about Ron Stoppable. "Hmmmmm. He should have died days ago, but there has been no report about it on the local news shows and surely it would have been covered. "The great savior of the world dead!" To bad you didn't get more information later on. What else have you to report?

Lamont told him about the meeting at the Possible house.

"Let me see." said Monkey Fist as he probed Lamont's mind. "Ahh, the three great forces that are still trying to find their way into our home. Now, let me hear what they are planing."

Lamont then tried to explain about the extreme lighting that they put around the house that prevented him from getting close without being caught. It only took a moment for him to see that his master was displeased. He didn't even want to "see" how bright the light was. His voice grew louder with each word.

"Do you mean to tell me you didn't find out was they talked about at that meeting? A meeting that could well have been about when they were going to attack us or even if they found us and you couldn't be bothered to find away past some stupid human guards and we have no idea of what they talked about?"

Lamont could only try to make himself smaller as his master's anger increase to the point that golden lightening started to form around his eyes. He had seen those eyes before, when they liberated the monkeys from the first zoo. Lamont had seen his master turn men to stone with his eyes. He looked away from the anger that was his master's.

But, when nothing happened, he cautiously looked back to him and saw a very perplexed looking Monkey Fist.

He was standing there, with his arms crossed, his right hand rubbing his chin and looking at a point in the ceiling.

"Something's not right here." he said mostly to himself. "Why have their meeting now?" He started to pace with his hands behind his back."There is something wrong. They were planning their attack on us at that meeting. I have already received information on their movements from my other shadow spys. I can guess that they have finally figured out where we are and how to get to us, from where they moved and set up camp for the night. Fortunately, I have taken certain steps to make sure their attacks fail, thanks to the federal government and it's paranoia. But something is still not right."

"Ah ha!" he said as he snapped his fingers. "Both Kim Possible and her mother attended that meeting! The mother is also that imbecile's Doctor, her name was on the paperwork you looked at, and his future mother-in law. I can only see two reasons why both of them would leave the hospital. Either Ron Stoppable is cured, which we both know is impossible or he is dead. But why hide his death from the newspapers and television news?"

This was Lamont's chance to get back into the good graces of his master, so he chipped an answer to the question.

"Because they fear me? What kind of an answer is.................................wait a moment. Maybe they are trying to use it to distract me. He would have been the only person that could have posed any kind of a threat to me. By making me think he was still alive, I might have hesitated, wondering what might have gone wrong. Making me doubt myself. But now their plan has failed because I have seen through their attempted deception. Nothing will stop me!"

"To celebrate, I will have Miss Hall take Yori to the barracks and let all the monkeys have their way with her tonight. I no longer care if she lives or dies. Her mind should be totally shot by now. If it isn't, well, getting gang raped by all of them should finish it off. I will go tell Miss Hall and you go tell your monkey brothers to meet in the barracks immediately."

Lamont turn and started to head for the door, relieved that he had been forgiven and had escaped with his life.

Before he could reach the door, Monkey Fist called out to him.

"Oh Lamont. I almost forgot something."

Looking back, he didn't even have a chance for the smile on his face and to disappear before the golden lightening from Monkey Fist's eyes struck him and turned him to stone.

"Monkey Fist was forgiving of failure because he lived with it for too long. But I am the Yono now. I will not tolerate it or allow it in my army. You will deliver a message to the rest of my forces. One that warns them of the penalty of failure and the consequences. Yono, the destroyer, will have an army that will fight to the death because they will know that if they fail, death will be their only reward. And death will be my gift to the world. Death or conversion. Miss Hall will either become very busy or useless to me after tomorrow.

"Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day for everyone. "
