(Part 9 left off with Hiroshi and Daisuke going through a “change”, as Super Trunks stare in amazement)
*Cut to Dr. Gero’s dark lair. It is still too dark to make out his appearance, but it is clear that he is the one sitting in a metallic chair, with one of his cyborgs bowing in front of him.*
Dr. Gero: Have they discovered the ball yet?
Cyborg: Yes, but they are having trouble with Trunks. In order to secure the 4 star Dragonball they are pushed to use the newly installed fusion chip.
Dr. Gero: Then defeating Trunks would be no problem. But tell them spare his life, he still serves a purpose.
Cyborg: Yet Saotome might be a another cause for concern.
Dr. Gero: *nods* Yes, we’ll have to find a way to deal with him still. How are the new Type B cyborgs coming along?
Cyborg: They are still resting in the cybergenesis chamber. They are more powerful than the Type A we used until now, but still weaker than the ones we were able to make back in our own time. But we did experience some difficulties with getting our two subjects to be totally obedient. Tests have shown that each of them have a distinct and opposite obsession that enables them to disobey certain orders.
Dr. Gero: Then we must correct that problem.
Cyborg: Actually Doctor, their obsessions complement each other, making them the perfect team for defeating Ranma Saotome.
Dr. Gero: Interesting. Keep me informed.
Cyborg: Yes doctor. *Walks out*
============================================================================
*Back at the battle scene.....Electricity can be heard crackling from the combined form. The intense light slowly diminishes, exposing a very buff looking Hiroshi-Daisuke cyborg, twice their individual normal size. Most of his clothes have been ripped through by expanding muscles. He face has also become leaner, and more fierce looking.*
Hiroshi-Daisuke: *their voices combined* Now this is the stuff. *Flexes muscles, and turns to Trunks* Hey, how come you got smaller, oh wait... I got bigger! Hmmm, what should we call ourselves? *muses* I know! Hirosuke!
Trunks: Damn! He got as big as Broli! I gotta take him out fast! *Retreats back, and charges up energy*
Hirosuke: *looks at the dragonball in his hands* hmmm, better keep this thing safe. *Swallows the dragonball*
Trunks: *shocked* What?! *Clenches teeth* Looks like I’ll have to just rip your guts. *Pulls both arms back, then pushes them out, shooting out a chi blast* Ha!
Hirosuke: *grin* Child’s play. *Obsorbs the hit* Let’s dance! *Rushes Trunks*
Trunks: {Damn!}huaaah! *Blocks Hirosuke’s punch* {get..} *kicks Hirosuke’s face* {some} erk! *Gets jabbed in the stomach* {air...}
Hirosuke: You’re slowing down, Trunks. *Kicks Trunks high up*
*Trunks takes this moment to break loose and goes up to the water surface, while Hirosuke engages in pursuit. His chase didn’t last long, as Hirosuke is intercepted by a incoming chi-blade*
Ryu: *quickly swims up* You’re fighting me!
Hirosuke: *laughs* if you insist. *Without any effort, lifts arms up and fires a blast at Ryu*
*Ryu quickly moves out of it’s way. Mastery over water has enabled him to move under water as if he was on land. Hirosuke continues his onslaught on Ryu and fires again and again. Ryu counters by throwing his Chi-blades at some of the blasts, but they had no effect on canceling out or even slowing Hirosuke’s blasts.*
Ryu: *ducks under another fireball* Damn doens’t this guy run out of ammo. Whoa! *Evades to the right*
Hirosuke: hehe, you can’t keep this up forever, my chi-emitters takes much less time to charge than before. Sooner or later you’ll get it, even if I just fire randomly.
Ryu: *while still dodging and retreating* {He’s right, I gotta think of something} *reaches behind him, and pulls out his Goshin Dai Ryu Sei Fu*
Hirosuke: That cloth again? *Pulls up to Ryu, delivering a powerful kick.* Don’t let your eyes off your enemy.
*Ryu flies diagonally up and back 50 meters, shooting out of the water surface, then drops back into the water with a splash.*
Hirosuke: And here’s you’re going away present. *Sends a palm blast to Ryu’s unconscious body*
*moments before the hit connects, Ryu’s body is snatched away in a blurr*
Ranma-Chan: *bringing Ryu out of the water* What am I going to do with you? I told you not to fight him. *Brings Ryu back to the beach, and drops him off*
Akane: *Running toward where Ranma-Chan laid Ryu* What happened to him?
Ranma-Chan: He tried taking on that new Hirosuke cyborg by himself. I’m going back to help Trunks.
Akane: wait!
*Ranma-Chan is gone before hearing Akane’s cry. In the distance, the battle has now been taken up to the air.*
Trunks: hrraaah! *Brings his power level up*
Hirosuke: Listen Trunks, I’ll let you live if you just let me be on my way.
Trunks: Then fork over the dragonball. *powers up more*
Hirosuke: You’re nuts. Suit yourself. *Charges Trunks*
*The fight continues with Trunks flying all around Hirosuke, delivering kicks and punches when he’s not busy defending. Hirosuke then lets out a roar, and energy burst from his body, thrusting Trunks back a couple meters. Trunks quickly retaliates and fires a shortly charged kamehame ha. Hirosuke also fires blast from his chi emitters in his hands. Trunks head butts into Hirosuke, but is slammed down. Shortly Ranma-Chan arrives.*
Trunks: *looks at Ranma-Chan* You can’t fight him Ranma!
Ranma-Chan: *not letting his sight wander from Hirosuke* Say’s who? *Launches her tenshin amaguri ken at Hirosuke* A big target like that is just what my punches are made for.
*Hirosuke shrugged off the attack easily, and in burst of speed flies at Ranma-Chan with a kick. The kick seemingly connects with a faded image, as Ranma-Chan moved a split second before contact, and is delivering a barrage of punches from behind. Hirosuke swings a leg around to catch Ranma-Chan, who grabs hold of it, and swings her own legs at Hirosuke’s face. Hirosuke quickly recovers, and before Ranma-Chan can move out of the way, he leaps forward and grabs Ranma-Chan, catching her is a bear hug. Ranma-Chan lets out a high pitched scream, as her body is crushed by Hirosuke’s hug. Hirosuke feels a certain softness, and crushes harder*
Ranma-Chan: *screams again as Hiroshi applies more pressure, then slowly opens one of her eyes* Why you.... Hentai!! *Images of Happossai glomping on to her goes through her mind, as she clenches her teeth* Hyahhhhhhhh!
*Ranma-Chan turns Super, and snaps free from the hold. The burst of aura drives Hirosuke back*
Ranma-Chan: Hyahhh! *Charges at Hirosuke in blind rage, and catching him off guard.* Die you damn pervert!
Hirosuke: *being pounded by the super saiyajin herione* Damn, didn’t even have time to recalibrate my system for this situation.
*Ranma-Chan slams Hirosuke down, causing a huge splash as be hits the water*
Hirosuke: Sheesh! What a hot tempered girl. *Goes down into the water*
Ranma-Chan: *fumes up at hearing his remark* I’ll show you who’s a girl! *Dives after him*
Hirosuke: *turns around* I believe you are what’s called a “macho chick”. *Laughes and continues his retreat*
Ranma-Chan: *her head almost burst open, much like Akane when she’s mad* Argggg! Come back here you coward! *Powers herself up more* Moko Takabishya! *Shoots out a huge fireball*
Hirosuke: *sways left* missed!
*CRACK!!! Ranma-Chan drives a elbow into Hirosuke’s jaw*
Ranma-Chan: Let see how cocky you are when you don’t have a mouth. Tenshin Amaguriken! *Her hands blurr*
*Hirosuke is forced to evade or parry Ranma-Chan’s punches, knowing her current power level*
Hirosuke: *doubles back* Don't push me to use my full power, Ranma. *Crosses his hands, then opens them, unleashing a bigger than usual chi blast at Ranma-Chan*
Ranma-Chan: *becomes more collected* No one out-chi’s me! *Also sends a fireball to counter*
*both chi-blasts pushes against each other for supremacy, then finally explodes, forcing both fighters back. Before Hirosuke has time to get his bearings, he is hit from above by a kamehame ha wave, driving him to the bottom of the ocean.*
Trunks: Ranma, don’t hog all the action.
Ranma-Chan: *smiles at Trunks* right, now let’s kick his ass.
Trunks: We have to get the dragonball from him, if he leaves with it, Earth will be one step closer to destruction.
*The two Super Saiyajins advances toward Hirosuke, both powering up, then charges. The three fighters collide. Trunks and Ranma-Chan swarms over Hirosuke like flies over meat. Hirosuke moves his body all around, trying to hit his two attackers. Ranma-Chan sends hammering punch at Hirosuke’s stomach, who tries send a knee up Ranma-Chan’s chin. Ranma-Chan blocks this with her own knees, while Trunks grabs Hirosuke’s hands, and tries to snap it by twisting it. Hirosuke looks at Trunks’s, opens his jaws, and fires a orange energy blast. Trunks gets hit back, charges up his arms, and fires a blast at Hirosuke’s head. Hirosuke was too busy defending against Ranma-Chan, which resulted in him having his head charred, and his hair becomes burnt.*
Hirosuke: rahhhh!!!!! *Lights up his entire body, blinding Trunks and Ranma-Chan* This is enough!
*Hirosuke grabs Ranma-Chan by her pig-tail, and swings her into Trunks. He goes after them both, and pounds on them with his huge fists. Ranma-Chan and Trunks rubs their eyes, and tries to defend themselves, and retreats back*
Hirosuke: *a computerized voice emits in his head* Trunks: *looks at Ranma-Chan, and holding his ribs* How you doing?
Ranma-Chan: *multiple bruises on her face* Fine for now, but I really can’t keep this up, I have to finish him in one move or nothing!
Trunks: I’ll help, but I’ll distract him first, so you can make you move.
Ranma-Chan: ok. *Turns her attention back at Hirosuke*
*Trunks rushes Hirosuke again, pinning him down to the ocean floor. Ranma-Chan travels down, and gathers up chi. Hirosuke kicks Trunks. Trunks groans, but quickly jams his fist into Hirosuke’s fist. Ranma-Chan begins swirl around the fighters, her golden aura starts to grow. Hirosuke reaches both arms up and chokes Trunks. Trunks flip his legs up to Hirosuke’s head, holds it tight violently twists his entire body.*
Hirosuke: *head snaps* *Ranma-Chan is approaching near the combatants after many revolutions of her spiral, her aura changes color from golden to bright blue, leaving behind a swirling trail of the same color as she goes*
Trunks: *notices Ranma-Chan almost at completing her setup* Gotta make this count. *Flips behind Hirosuke and gets him in a lock, leaving his entire body open for attack*
Hirosuke: What the! *Struggles to break free of the hold*
*Ranma-Chan is now on her last revolution. She comes in with a determined look on her face. Her right arm slowly lunging forward. A distinct and intensifying wwwwwwnnnnnnnNNNN, like the sound of a revving motor, accompanies Ranma-Chan’s spiral. Hirosuke’s eyes opens wide, his body and face illuminated by Ranma-Chan’s aura. Trunks releases his hold at the last possible moment, and pulls up both arms to shield hinself*
Ranma-Chan: HI.....RYU......SHO.....TEN...... HAAAAAA!!!!!!!
*Back at where Akane and Ryoga was.*
Ryoga: *looking outward to the sea* Akane, look, that bluish glowing patch in the water of there.
Akane: *stands up, and gives a slight gasp*
*That “bluish patch in the water” bursts open by a bright energy in the shape of a dragon head, followed by a huge spinning cyclone of water. Trapped in the heart of the spiraling pillar of water is Hirosuke, with a desperate look on his face.*
Hirosuke: *with chunks of his body flying off* *Hirosuke blows up within the water cyclone. A small round pod breaks out of the explosion, and zooms away*
*Trunks helps Ranma-Chan out of the water, both have returned to normal state. He looks up, and sees the shiny pod disappearing in the distance*
===========================================================================
*Tendo Dojo, 9:00 am. We see Akane and Ryoga helping Trunks and Ranma-Chan, and a very injured Kumon Ryu getting to the dojo.*
Akane: *opening the main gate* Kasumi, come help me.
*They look up, and see Kasumi, Nabiki, Soun, and Genma busily decorating the house with Christmas lights and colors. Kasumi looks up from putting a chain of Christmas cards*
Kasumi: Why hello Akane, my you’ve certainly been gone a long time. What’s the matter?
Akane: *looks at the decorations {Oh my god it’s almost Christmas! All the confusion in these days made me forget...} uhhhh, Ranma had a fight with Kumon Ryu, and ended up hurting each other. They need some patching up. Can you get the med kit?
Nabiki: *walks over to the group* Yeah right Akane, Kasumi and the others might not be able to see it, but I know you’re hiding something. *In a low voice* If you could give me 5000 yen, I promise not to tell the others.
Akane: *shocked at Nabiki, but tries to look innocent.* What are you talking about Nabiki?
Nabiki: *goes back to the living room* Check out the morning news.
Trunks: I have to work on something. *Walks off to his room in the basement*
Soun: *looking at TV screen* Well isn’t this something? Saotome.
Genma: *hearing the news report* It certainly is interesting, Tendo.
*As Kasumi is tending to Ryu and Ranma-Chan, everyone watches and listens to the new report*
**TV Report: ....No one truly knows the motifs behind these attacks on the city. Since during that first snowfall a week ago Tokyo has been plagued by explosions of every sort. Apartment buildings have been blown off, and entire street blocks is cleared off. Property damage has amassed a total of more than 100 billion yen. The police seem powerless to stop these string of attacks. People in the city is in a state of panic, some claimed it’s the end of the world, and many are in a hurry to move out of Tokyo. This has resulted in massive traffic jams and a skyrocketing number of accidents. Death and injury rates from crowded hospitals has reached a record breaking high. It’s at this very moment that this city needs some real heroes. Here with me is a special task force that call themselves the Knight Sabers, and here is there comment on this situation:
Knight Saber: We believe these strange attacks are caused by renegade robots, called “boomers”, who’s sole purpose is to wipe out the population. We are the only ones that can stop them. With our state of the art mech suits they will not stand a chance if they dare to attack this city again. Since the Tokyo Police Force are just sitting idly by, while innocent people are getting hurt. We will not tolerate this, especially since it’s Christmas time. We will take matters into our own hands in dealing with this situation.
Reporter: And there you have it folks. Please just stay calm in your houses and forget about this nightmare, I’m sure the Knight Sabers will make everything all right.**
Ranma: *reverted back to manhood, courtesy of a kettle* What bull, I bet that team was only doing a publicity stunt.
Nabiki: I wouldn’t be so sure of that Ranma.
Ranma: Let’s change the channel, isn’t Sailor Moon on yet? I heard they’re having a Christmas Special.
Soun: Well, no time to worry about this, especially during Christmas, eh Saotome? Let’s just enjoy the holidays.
Genma: I’m sure my son can handle anything that comes along.
Kasumi: *finishes patching up Ryu’s ribs* There you go
Ryu: *manages to sit up* Arigatou. Not to trouble you further, miss, I’ll be on my way. *Tries to stand up* Ugghh! It hurts.
Kasumi: Maybe you should stay here for a while.
Trunks: *walking out with a device* Quick, we have no time to lose. We have to collect the dragonballs pronto, before Dr. Gero gets the rest of them.
Ryoga: Dragonballs? What?
Trunks: *sigh* There’s 7 dragonballs on earth, whoever manages to collect all seven balls can summon Sheng Long, by placing the balls together and chant: “Come out, Sheng Long, and grant my wish”! He will grant one wish to whoever that summoned him. That’s all you need to know. That was the only thing I hadn’t thought about since I got here, but now I remembered, I’ve built a dragonball radar to track down their locations.
Everyone: Wish?
Trunks: You people sure know how to say things in unison.
Ranma + Genma: My curse!
Ryoga: {My curse!}
*money signs $$$$ form in Nabiki’s eyes*
Trunks: We’ll go as soon as you’re rested up, Ranma, expect a lot of competion for them.
Ryoga: I can go right now, I didn’t get a lot of action anyways.
*Lightling illuminates the sky, as black clouds begin to gather. Two dark figures stands on an adjacent roof top next to the house. On is holding a long curved object, the other is twirling a black ribbon.*
Ranma: huh?
Kuno: This is the hour of your demise, Saotome.
Akane and Ryoga: Kuno?
Ranma: Kuno? What do you want? *Gets in fighting position*
Kuno: It is beneath my dignity to tell you of my purpose.
Ranma: *getting annoyed* How many times do I have to beat it into your head that you can’t beat me?
Kuno: *jumps down in front of him* I shall make this as painless as possible, that is, if your are cooperative. *Attacks Ranma with his boken with unforeseen speed*
Ranma: *barely dodges out of the way* Something’s not right....
*Ranma is obviously in no condition for further fighting. All he managed to was to avoid Kuno’s attacks.*
Ryoga: That’s it! *Jumps in between Kuno and Ryoga* If you want Ranma, you’ll have to get through me!
Ranma: Ryoga......
Kuno: This does not concern you, Hibiki, unless you wish to feel my wrath, I suggest you remove your being from my presence.
Ryoga: Shut up Kuno. *Jumps at Kuno with his umbrella*
*boken and umbrella clashed, but it was clear that Kuno has the upper hand, as he tirelessly strikes at Ryoga over and over again. Ryoga tries to end this and aims his umbrella at Kuno’s head, but Kuno moves sideways, and with a flip of his boken, flings Ryoga up into the air*
Ranma: *looks at Kuno* You.... you’re another cyborg!
Kuno: How perceptive, although knowing this will do you little good. *Launches another attack at Ranma*
*Ranma flies back and lands in the pool*
Ranma-Chan: *chokes* This is not my day, but maybe this is the only way I can beat him.
Kuno: Pig-tailed goddess! *Ranma-Chan takes this opportunity and attacks Kuno with a fury of punches and kicks*
Ranma-Chan: Piece of cake, ha! Even if he is a cyborg he still can’t beat his “pig-tailed girl”
*A flying ribbon comes ripping through the air, aimed at Ranma-Chan’s head. She instinctively ducks, and the ribbon slices through the space where Ranma-Chan’s head had been*
Ranma-Chan: *looks up* Kodachi!
Kodachi: What have you done with Ranma-sama, you pig-tailed hussy! *Jumps at Ranma-Chan with her ribbon*
*Ranma-Chan realizes the situation she is in. Being either male or female is not going to her in this fight*
Ranma-Chan: *gets really nervous* Oh shit...... *dodges another swing from the ribbon*
Akane: I’ve got to help Ranma!
*Akane jumps in front of Kodachi, while Trunks position himself in front of Kuno. Ryoga finally made his way back from where he landed, and joins Akane’s side*
*The fight now takes place in a rather chaotic fashion. Although Kuno isn’t trying to kill Ranma-Chan, he constantly leaps out of Trunks’s way to glomp onto her. Kodachi is jumping all over the place and tries to hit Ranma-Chan with exploding roses, ribbons, power etc, while Ryoga and Akane tries to catch up. Ranma-Chan decides it’s better to have to deal with Kuno than Kodachi, so he goes and gets a hot water kettle and pours over herself. Kuno renewed his onslaught, and now it’s Kodachi’s turn to try and glomp over Ranma*
Ranma: *ducks under and tries to trip Kuno, then quickly cartwheels away from Kodachi* This is getting out of hand. Yowwwhh! *He gets wrapped up in Kodachi’s ribbon, who pulls him toward her*
*Kodachi hugs Ranma tightly, and Kuno takes this opportunity and swings his sword at the vulnerable Ranma. Ranma manages to shift his body from Kodachi’s hold a little, but still gets hit on his right shoulder*
Ranma: Ow! That hurt! *Doubles back in pain*
*Kuno follows the hoping Ranma, who is splashed with cold water by Akane. Kuno stops dead in a tracks for a moment, then opens his arms wide and runs toward Ranma-Chan.*
Kuno: Pig tailed girl!
*Ranma-Chan jumps over Kuno’s head, but something caught her foot, and is pulled down to the ground by Kodachi’s ribbon. Ranma-Chan crashes, and gets up, holding her ribs*
*While this was happening, Genma and Soun was playing a game of Shogi*
Soun: Shouldn’t we help Ranma-kun?
Genma: These things happen all too often. Soon you’ll see that my son will do away with these two unwelcome guests as he always does.
Soun: You have a point, Saotome.
*But the battle wasn’t as going as Genma has predicted. Kodachi is getting very annoyed at Akane and Ryoga’s attempts to stop her from getting at Ranma.*
Kodachi: I’m getting tired of this. Poison Gale! *She jumps high into the air, rapidly twirling her ribbon. Black rose petals fly in all directions. Everyone begins to choke, and soon falls unconscious.*
Kuno: *picks up Ranma-Chan* I shall bring you to our asylum, my sleeping beauty. Come dear sister. *Begins to fly off with Ranma-Chan in his hands.*
Kodachi: Wait brother, let me give her another dose, just in case she wakes up.*also takes off*
*minutes later*
Trunks: *begins to get up, choking* Damn! Akane, Ryoga, get up.
Akane: *slowly opens her eyes, and blinks* where....
Ryoga: They’re gone!
Akane: Where’s Ranma?!
Trunks: *frowning* He seems to be their only target, I think they might have taken off with him.
Ryoga: What are they gonna do with him?
Trunks: If my hunch is right..... I don’t think you want to know. In any case, we have to get Ranma back.....before it’s too late.
=========================================================================== I’ve given up writing “Super-” when someone transforms, it’s just too much of a hassle. And like you asked, I’ve added more cameos from other Anime. The Knights Sabers and Sailor Moon were just gags, (or are they?) so don’t take them seriously. ^_^
