How exciting! I hope to see an update soon. This is an interesting fusion that I had never considered before, and yet it works so well. Indiana Jones as Kim Possible's grandfather makes much more sense than I had originally anticipated.

I love your adapting of Jones movie scenes into Kim Possible's world. They translate well. I also very much enjoyed all of the Lucas film references. (Millenium Falcon? *snerk*). The addition of Zim and Indiana looking for the Tempus Simia and traveling to Yamunuchi is just too perfect for words.

This is fantastic so far, and I hope to see a new chapter soon.

Namaste,
Angel

Noticed a typo: In "stone symbols grasped by the stone monkey’s paws", you presumably meant "cymbals".

Wow that's a heck of a cliff hanger. Man what happened to Indy in the present part of the story. He didn't die , did he?

Just a note: you got the weapon that Indy uses at the end of the chapter (the M1918) is a Browning Automatic Rifle, not a Ballistic Air Rifle.

Hey G-go I noticed something that is definitely inaccurate in this chapter. Shorty says that one of the fighting styles he knows is Jeet Kun Do. This is actually impossible because Jeet Kun Do's style and philosophy was invented by Bruce Lee, and it wasn't introduced until 1967.

On a lighter note. I'm rereading all your stuff and it's stuill just as enjoyable.

Love it. Had a good laugh with the Star Trek IV reference. Kinda confusing at first with the flip-flopping back and forth between Zim/Indy and Kim/Ron. Excellent though. Unpredictable twists and turns that keep the story exciting and you write the characters true to form. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for more.

This is one of the most original stories I've read in quite a while, and the blending of two such vastly different universes is fantastically done. What I like most, however, is the fact that you've written the characters in such a way that they're easy to relate to, especially Indy (Shorty's right--who /doesn't/ love Indy? Communists and Nazis don't count.). I also like how I'm being encouraged to guess at the motivations of the various players in the game... my guess is that Colonel Eaton is the key to most of this. The way I figure, the KGB knows Eaton is a Nazi sympathizer, which explains why they're trying to kill Zim and Indy outright; their country was devastated by the Nazis even without the Germans having some sort of superweapon or precognitive tactics to employ against them, and Indy and Zim are (unknowingly... although the KGB may not know, or care, that they're being duped) on their way to delivering such a possibility into Nazi hands. At the end of the latest chapter, the disappearance of Zim provides another challenge, although a much simpler one to figure out. She's obviously not a secret Communist/Nazi like Indy fears, so the betrayal side isn't too likely. My guess? She's going to shove the eagles down her (former) superior officer's throat, as well as the guest of honor. Can't really blame her for that, really.

In any case, I'm /loving/ this, and I'm /very/ eager to see what comes up down the line. Great work! Also: your Deviant buddy's art is /so/ awesome, it's not even funny. Color me jealous.

Okay, have to admit, I did NOT expect where this finished. I mean, time travel, I figured the zazis would do something diabolical, but to save Hitler and bring him forward... man, that caught me completely off guard.

Eagerly awaiting more!

Hoo boy…
Now THIS is original, to say the least!
I’ve always enjoyed stories that create a relationship between characters from different genres- such as “Rise Against the Dark Tide”, where Harry Potter and Willow Rosenberg of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" are brother and sister- and the one you create here is far and away the most original one I’ve ever come across; congratulations are unquestionably in order!
As ell as that, your characterisation for the to timelines- Indy’s adventures with Zim in the past and Kim and Ron’s current adventure in the present- has been BRILLIANT so far; Indiana’s low opinion of Professor Dementor’s interrogation skills was a particularly nice touch, even if Rufus’s evident bond with Ronnie-Anne- and her subsequent empathy for Indy’s plight despite her young age after she’s abducted- also has its good points.
Plus, of course, I liked your references to some of Indiana’s past adventures in both timelines; the ‘return’ of Short Round in particular was an interesting touch, the new dynamics of the now-poor relationship between the two perfectly reflecting how Indy’s successes as a hero sometimes lead to his failings as a man.
Indiana Jones’ name might by practically synonymous with adventure, but you can’t deny- particularly after seeing “Crystal Skull”; leaving Marion a week before the wedding was definitely NOT his smartest move- that his people skills sometimes leave a GREAT deal to be desired.
Admittedly, I wasn’t entirely sure about the parts where you essentially ‘updated’ Indiana’s adventures to fit some of Kim and Ron’s current experiences; the coincidence factor seemed to be a bit TOO powerful there, if you catch my meaning. Ron being sent after a device with the acronym of ‘IDOL’ rather than an idol itself in particular was stretching it a bit- some of those security systems seemed a bit TOO elaborate for something that people would be coming into on a daily basis-, and the bit with Rufus in that chat room was also rather unusual- even on its own, I find it hard to imagine that exchanges take place over the net in chat rooms that can actually be translated into a FIGHT from the AI Rufus’s POV-, but you made enough modifications to some scenes- such as Kim and Ron being trapped in the ice cavern full of electric eels as opposed to a tomb full of snakes- to keep them interesting for all that, so I’m willing to ignore my scepticism there and focus on the central plot.
Particularly with your more recent twists, of course; I have to admit, I was DEFINITELY not expecting what happened to Indy- in EITHER timeline- to happen.
Hope you keep up the good work; I would DEFINITELY like to see here things go from here in BOTH timelines…
(If nothing else, I’d like to learn sooner rather than later exactly WHY Indy’s status as Kim’s grandfather had to be kept secret for so long, as well as what actually happened to Marion and Mutt between ‘Crystal Skull’ and the funeral.)

Good story. I like the idea of two of my favorite (fictional) people being related.

But you STILL owe your many fans the last chapter to the "Darkness Within" saga; 15 months is a LONG darned time to leave a cliffie hanging, so to speak. (Winces)

How about it, friend?

OMG!! You can't leave it there!! DX Poor Indy!! And I HOPE Zim isn't really following Eaton!! GAH!!

Very well written story, btw. One of the best x-overs I've ever read and one of the ONLY Indy fics that's actually good. ^^ Nice job and I'm eagerly awaiting (very impatiently) for the next chapter. ^^

It was so awesome to see Short Round again.
Now I see what's become of him since the Temple of Doom.
It was so great once again to see more of both sides of this adventure tale from both the past and the present.
Would you call what happens around the end of this something like coming around full circle?
Talking about the situation Indy, Zim and Short Round found themselves in after their plan went sour in Lao Che's casino.
That Bader guy gave me the creeps with his obsession with Hitler.
Enjoyed this part of both adventures in both times very much.

You don't know how happy I am to see this story back up!! This is awesome really I'm so glad your keeping it going! It's been a long while sure but it's great to see you haven't set it away for good. I really like how your blending it together with the recent Indy movie. Really well done. Yay Rufus gets to be the first one to have Veronica call him by his name. Hee hee xD Uh oh seems like their in some serious trouble. I also really like how you kept Henry Jones Senior alive but under another name. That was a stroke of genius and makes sense since those two both drank from the Holy Grail. I could see that affect happening. Looks like Indy and Zim are in a bind can't wait to read more and see what happens next. Keep up the awesome story my friend.
Update as soon as you possibly can!
Cheers,
Lydia

There you go again with the cliff-hangers and after such a long wait too! So glad to see you back. I must admit that I've been keeping avery close eye on this story since the last update - I just couldn't seem to forget about it. As always, I adore what you've done with your characters here. Zim is just as endearing and mysterious and captivating as ever; especially right at the end. I just can't bring myself to believe she's like Indy's usual female companions. Zim wouldn't betray him, would she? And if she would, she'd at least have a really tough time with her conscience, surely?

I also really liked the battle between Locke and Ron - it was raw and disturbing and deliciously 'real' - Great writing, there.

As always, I anxiously await an update (and I will wait, however long it takes).

P.S. I am so loving that Ronnie-Anne is playing a role here. She may just be an infant, but just seeing her here brings me back to her role in UNION. ;D Loving it!

hey man i cant wait to really start readin this new story. REUNION and UNION were awesome. but hey i just wanted to point out something i noticed in this first chapter. i dont know how similar the two languages are but people from Brazil speak Portuguess, not Spanish. i dont know if anyone mentioned it or not so i just decided to check. keep up the good work.
