Begin Ranma 1/2 Z Part 5
======================================================================== (Part 4 left off with Ranma, no, ......Super Ranma, staring coldly at Number 19)
#19: *regains his composure* You think you can beat me now, don’t you? Don’t take me lightly. You will die! *Charges Ranma with blinding speed, head first*
*Ranma stops #19 with one hand, flips up, and drives a elbow into the Cyborg, pummeling him to the ground.*
Ranma: *coldly looks down* #19, is this all you’ve got?
*#19 gets up from the crater he made, and madly shoots energy balls straight up at Ranma, who just casually bats them away. But while Ranma was deflecting the bolts, #19 gets a chance to charge behind Ranma and sidekicks him*
Ranma: Damn! I can’t predict where he is. I can’t feel this guy’s chi!
*Ranma charges back at #19, and they trade a fury punches and kicks. Ranma is obviously getting in more hits, and begins to wear #19 down, and again Ranma kicks him to the ground*
Ranma: This fight is over! Mouko Takabishya! *Sends a Saiyajin powered tiger blast at #19*
#19: Hahahahaha! *Raises his hands and sucks the blast into his hands* Thanks for the recharge! Now it’s my turn! *Takes off his left arm and launches it like a rocket at Ranma*
*Ranma, in shock that his chi-blast was used to regenerate #19, gets hit multiple times by the flying arm. #19 gets up close to Ranma and grabs his neck with his right hand, then commands his rocketing left arm to come back to his body*
#19: Now I’ll suck you dry of all your energy!
From out of no where: Shi Shi Houkodan!
*The lion bullet hits #19, which distracted him and caused his to loosen his grip on Ranma. Ranma takes this opportunity to grab #19’s arms, and forcefully rip them apart from the shoulders. Live wires be seen from the fragmented parts*
#19: *BZZT* No! Arg! My arms!
Ranma: *lunges at #19* Tachu Tenshin Amaguriken! *The speed of Ranma’s punches causes a sonic boom around the area, as he breaks apart #19 with over 5000 punches in a matter of seconds*
*#19 now looks like a crushed cola can, huge dents and holes are evident all over his body*
Ranma: Time to finish this! *Draws hands back to his hips, as he focus all his chi* KAMEHAMEHA!!!! *Lunges his cupped hands forward, as his body is surrounded by white light*
#19: NO!!!!!......no......n
*BOOOOOMMMMMM!!!! #19 disintegrates into molecules, as the yellow beam of energy passes right through his body. The kamahameha was so powerful it also destroys the mountain that was in the background*
Ranma: *panting, and resting his hands on his knees* Yata! *Falls back to the ground, his hair turns back to normal, and the yellow aura around him dissipates, and so does the shield that was protecting Akane*
*Ryoga witnessed that last few seconds of the battle, when he just got his conscious back and fired the lion bullet at #19. Now he is slowly walking toward Ranma’s fallen body*
Ryoga: Why was I not there to protect Akane-san?! Why?! Why didn’t I get up earlier! Why does Ranma gets to do it every time! Arggg!!!!
Akane: *runs to Ranma* Ranma!
Ryoga: *still too far away to be heard* He managed to turn Super Saiyajin and was able to protect her, why am I so useless?!
Akane: *kneels by Ranma and feels his pulse, and let out a sigh of relief* Ranma..... *looks up at the incoming Ryoga* Ryoga, quick, we have to get Ranma to Dr. Tofu!
====================================================================
*An hour later, at Dr. Tofu’s office, where Tofu is examining Ranma on a futon, who was just carried in by Ryoga and Akane*
Tofu: He’s just tired, give him some rest, and Ranma will be back on his feet in no time.
Akane: Arigatoo Tofu Sensei!
Tofu: *turns to Ryoga* But Ryoga, you might need some bandages.
Ryoga: uh, hai! *looks at Akane* Akane, I’m really sorry I wasn’t there to stop that monster.
Akane: *smiles at Ryoga* Ryoga, but you were there. If you didn’t distract #19, Ranma would have never beaten him.
Ryoga: Still, I shouldn’t have lost my head in the beginning and charged him. I was so stupid!
Akane: You charged him to try to save me..........
Ryoga: *showing anger* But I failed, even with all my training, I still didn’t think clearly enough to avoid that blast.
Akane: Ryoga, you can’t blame yourself for that. If it means anything, I’m touched that you at least tried to save me, it means a lot....
Ryoga: *looks at Akane* It’s...no big deal.
Akane: *sigh* {Ranma turned Super Saiyajin because of me.......}
Ranma: *still not conscious* *quietly* Akane! No! ......#19!
Tofu: The poor boy is sleep talking, but why is he counting in his sleep all of the sudden?
Akane: *looks at the twisting and turning body of Ranma* Oh Ranma....
Ryoga: *anger building up inside of him* ........
=======================================================================
*cut to the Tendo home a few hours later*
Ryoga: *standing in the yard* I wonder where Trunks is, I haven’t seen him since he left just before the fight...Wait! *senses a powerful chi coming at his direction, and quickly turns around and up*
*Just then Trunks can be seen flying across the skies and lands in back of Ryoga*
Trunks: *looking very worn out* Konbanwa Ryoga. *Sigh* Even though you can detect chi, you still can’t figure out which direction it’s coming from.
Ryoga: *gets angry* And just where were you all this time?
Akane: *rushing out of the house* Trunks! You’re back! *Notices the almost limping condition of Trunks* Are you alright?
Trunks: I was..um.. attacked by another cyborg. The fight with it left me very tired, I’m not sure why. I think I’ll be out of action for a few days.....
Akane: Trunks, oh, no wonder you weren’t there when #19 attacked us.
Trunks: Nani! #19? He’s been rebuilt?
Akane: Rebuilt? Hmm. Anyway, Ranma......
Trunks: I know, he turned Super Saiyajin. I sensed his transformation from where I was. His powers were incredible!
Ryoga: Trunks, when do you think Akane and I will be able to transform?
Trunks: *looks at Ryoga* Actually I don’t know, it’s too hard to predict.
Kasumi: *coming out of the house with a plate* Konbanwa, would you three like some cookies? *Cocks head and smiles sweetly*
Trunks: *takes a cookie* Thank you Kasumi-san.
Akane: *takes a cookie* Arigatoo Oneechan!
Ryoga: *takes a cookie* I feel lucky in just being able to taste your food Kasumi-san.
Kasumi: Dooitomashite! Well have fun and enjoy the beautiful sunset, I’ll check if Ranma is feeling better yet. *Leaves, humming a tune*
Trunks: Akane, your sister has got to be the nicest person in the world.
Ryoga: Uh huh! *Nods while chomping on cookie*
Akane: *sighs happily* Yeah, oneechan is more than just my bigger sister, in a way she’s like mom.
Trunks: That’s right! Where is your mother, Akane?
Akane: *changes the expression on her face into one of sadness* Mom....Mom died a long time ago..
Trunks: *a bead of sweat appears on his face* oh...oh. Gomen! I’m sorry I brought that up Akane, I didn’t know...
Akane: It’s alright Trunks. Ever since she died, Kasumi has been taking up the role of mom. I don’t think this family would have survived without her. Dad was about snap, but Kasumi held everyone together. She was always so strong. I know she must have felt terrible like the rest of us, but she didn’t let that destroy the family. *Sigh*
Trunks: The way your sister acts its like everything is alright with the world. She is always so cheerful.
Akane: Hai....There’s no one in the world like her.
Trunks: I really hope she won’t get caught up in this thing with the cyborgs.
Ryoga: Trunks, what if more of those cyborgs come after us?
Trunks: Well I think they know our location already. And who knows what other information they have on us. With their spies everywhere, we can’t be sure if we’re being watched this very moment, and since they don’t have any chi to be felt........
Ryoga: Then we’ll just have to careful.
Trunks: But there is one creation of Dr. Gero’s that has chi........but I don’t think you’ll want to know about it....
Ryoga: Well at least you’re here now to help in case they attack....
Trunks: *looks gloomy* I’m not as strong as I’m used to. Ever since after the battle with Buu, believe me, you don’t want to know about him either, I didn’t spend too much time training. I just spar with Goten sometimes. I’ve lost my edge. More importantly, I am so sapped today I don’t think I can turn Super for a couple of days, I’ve lost a lot of blood.
Ryoga: In other words, if they attack, we’re dead?
Trunks: Well, there’s always Ranma....but he got sapped too....
*just this moment we see Ranma, in his torn red satin shirt and black pants, slowly walks out from the house*
Ranma: I’m...Ok, I can kick any stupid robot’s butt any day!
Akane: *turns* Ranma!
Trunks: Ranma, you shouldn’t be up yet. You did a full charged Kamehameha...well almost full, you still haven’t fully mastered it yet. But that took a lot out of you.
Ranma: *struggling to keep his balance* Heh, it was nothing.
Akane: Ranma, you don’t have to strain like this! Go back to rest!
Ryoga: Ranma, so how’s turning Super like?
Ranma: It was......tough. I didn’t think I’ll ever get so angry. But the power I felt was unimaginable.
Ryoga: .....Good, then all that training didn’t go to waste....
Ranma: Oh yeah, I want.... to thank you, Ryoga. You really made a difference back there.
Ryoga: *grumbling* yeah yeah.....
Ranma: *turns to Akane* Akane, sorry for cutting it so close.....
Akane: Ranma......
Trunks: It’s getting cold, let’s get back inside.
========================================================================
*cut to the interior of the house*
Soun: So where have you young ones been today, and why was Ranma-kun and Trunks-kun so tired?
Akane: I think they just trained too hard Dad.
Ranma: *chews on a spoon and eyes half opened* Why doesn’t this lollipop have any taste?
Genma: *hits Ranma in the back of the head* Wake up boy! You get this tired after a little training, you must be getting soft.
Ranma: *chokes on the spoon* skrfiwoeuomvlxz;l!!!!! *Coughes out spoon and hits Genma with it* Baka Oyaji!
Nabiki: *looks up from reading a magazine* Look! It’s snowing outside!
*Everyone stares in amazement outside the house, as an increasing number of tiny snow flakes harmoniously drift down from the skies*
Everyone: Ooohhh, aahhhhhhh!
Kasumi: I’ll prepare more hot water.
Soun: Thank you Kasumi.
Akane: hmmmm, it’s snowing sooner than unusual....
*CRASH!!!! A loud noise explodes outside of the house*
Ranma: What the!
Trunks: Oh shit! It must be another one!
*Everyone rushes outside the house, and sees a brown haired boy, dressed in Furukan school uniform, maniacally laughing in the sky*
Ryoga: *looks up* I don’t know who you are, but your nuts if you want to have trouble with Ryoga Hibiki.
Boy: HAHAHAHA, if you must know me, I am Number 22, and I am programmed to destroy you all. Dr. Gero has picked the perfect time for me to attack. #19 has made Ranma too weak to offer any resistance!
Ranma: Oh yeah?! I’ll show you! *Motions to jump up at #22*
Akane: Ranma! Stop! You could get killed!
Trunks: Now he’s using students from Furukan high as models for his cyborgs. I’ll see if I can stop him! *Flies up to #22 with his sword*
#22: Trunks, you know you are too weak to fight against me now!
*They meet in mid air, with Trunks slashing his sword, and #22 avoiding it. Then Trunks fires a blast from his hands, which #22 deflects, and repays in kind with his own fireball. Trunks drop to the ground with a thud*
Trunks: *flips up* No good, still too weak
Ryoga: Ryyyahhh!!! *Grabs a bunch of his headbands and hurls them at #22*
#22: *deflects the headbands, which flies to cut down several trees and pillars in the area* before I destroy you, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to have some practice in hand to hand combat.
vRyoga: *flies up to #22* I’ll tear you apart to see what you are made of!
#22: Ha, big words, Ryoga.
Ryoga: rrrryahhhhh! *Charges at #22 with a hail of punches*
*#22 parries all of Ryoga’s punches, and sends punches and kicks of his own*
Ryoga: *blocks a few punches with his elbow* ow ow ow, if you weren’t made of metal........*side steps and delivers a kick at #22’s head*
v#22: *TINK!* hehe.
*Ryoga whips out his umbrella and swings it at #22, who breaks it on contact. Then #22 clotheslines Ryoga to the ground. Ryoga hit’s the ground hard, but quickly gets up and bounces off the ground with one finger*
Ryoga: Kuso!
#22: After I take care of Ranma, I’ll come back for you.
*A bonbori came flying at #22, and manages to cock his head a little*
#22: *grabs bonbori as it falls off his face*What’s this? A oversized lollipop?
Shampoo: *jumps out, wearing what looks like white battle uniform, complete with golden wrist bands, a picture of the dragon in front and Pheonix on back, and a belt where the buckle was a Ying-Yang sign* Robot no hurt Ranma!
#22: hmm...This is getting interesting! *Changes his course to Shampoo’s direction*
*#22 is suddenly bombed with an assortment of various weapons, from a mace and chain to some dynamite sticks. Sounds of explosion and metal against metal can be heard*
#22: *comes out after the smoke clears, and looking very dirty, and clothes torn* Who dares!
Mousse: *wearing his usual robe* I am the master of hidden weapons, and you, *points to a pigeon on a wire* will die for attempting to harm my beautiful Shampoo!
Shampoo: *elbows mousse in the ribs* Baka Mousse! Put on glasses! And Shampoo not yours!
Ranma: *notices Shampoo* Wow, wonder where she got the uniform.
Akane: *beams* Maybe with their help we can kick this #22.
#22: Haha, I doubt it! *Sends multiple beams at Shampoo and Mousse*
*Shampoo and Mousse jumps in the form of “X”s and avoids the beams, and comes closer to #22*
Shampoo: *while jumping* Mousse! Now!
*Mousse spreads a huge metal net across to Shampoo, who grabs it’s edge and quickly wraps it around #22 as she sails past him*
Shampoo: Hyah!
*She touches the net with glowing hands, and the net suddenly glows the same way, and explodes at it’s center, where #22 was*
#22: cough cough *he jumps out of the explosion, with black wire marks all over his body* That’s it!
Kasumi: *looking up* Oh Mr. #22, would you like to take a bath to be clean again, and it’s so cold out here, you need some clothes.
#22: *looks at Kasumi* Are you making fun of me? Die! *Sends bolts at Kasumi*
*Ranma jumps over to Kasumi and gets her out of her position just before the bolts hit*
Ranma: Kasumi, damn why you do that for? Now he’s after you too!
Akane: *gets real angry* Hey you bastard! My sister was just being nice, and you want to kill her?! *Grabs mallet from hammerspace*
#22: ooh! A hammer, am I supposed to be afraid?
Soun: You!!!! You try to harm my dear Kasumi! Hyahhh! *Jump kicks #22*
#22: *whacks Soun to the ground* Pathetic!
Akane: Otoosan!!!! *Rushes over to Soun*
Genma: Tendo-kun! *Fear and hatred flashes across his face*
Akane: *looks up at #22 with hatred* How dare you come and destroy my home and attack Otoosan!
Ranma: I’ll take of this Akane! *Flies up to #22* You don’t just go and mess with the Tendos like that! *Charges #22*
#22: Fool! Think you can challenge me in your condition?! *Prepares to knock Ranma out of the sky*
Akane: No you don’t! *Swirls her hand to her waist, as energy is building in her palm* VACUUM PUNCH!
*The wave hits #22 head on, making a some slight crunching sounds*
#22: *some places on his body are twisted slightly out of position, some of his internal works are also displaced by the effect of the vacuum* What the!
Ranma: Tachu Tenshin Amaguriken!
*The hailstorm of punches hits #22, but doesn’t seem to have much effect*
#22: *flips over on back of Ranma* I’m gonna crush your brain! *Sends a elbow into the back of Ranma’s skull, exactly at a point where his head was damaged in the past*
Akane: RANMA!!!
* Everything turns quiet, a black lighting streaks across Ranma’s mind in slow motion, as his body flies toward the Tendo pool one frame at a time*
*SPLASH! Ranma hits the freezing cold water, and his mind became totally black*
Akane: *in tears* RANMA!!!! *Races to the pool*
Kasumi: Oh my! *Also walks out of the house toward the pool*
#22: *flies down and intercepts Kasumi* Hmmp!
Kasumi: You know what you did wasn’t very nice, Mr #22.
#22: Nice? NICE?! Haha, then how about this! *Pulls a fist backwards*
Akane: *Looking up at Kasumi and #22* Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
*Sound of fist connecting with cheek*
Akane: *a white bolt of lightning flashes across her mind, as she stares in horror, and a slight yellow aura begins to build around her*
*Kasumi’s body flies into the house, and her motion is only stopped by the immovable wall*
Trunks: Uh oh.........
Ryoga: Akane-san!
Akane: AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! *Hundreds of images of Kasumi, Ranma, and Soun flash in her mind* NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *clenches fist*
*Everything around Akane begins to fly apart, then her aura explodes in a brilliant white light, which caused everyone to shield their eyes. A crater quickly forms under Akane.*
Trunks: She did it!
*Akane is now standing with Super Saiyajin hairstlye, and a bright glowing aura surrounding her*
Akane: Oneechan, Otoosan, Ranma .....I won’t ever forgive the guy that made these cyborgs.
#22: Aw man......... *takes to the skies* I’m outa here!
Akane: *zooms past #22 in a yellow streak of light* HOW DARE YOU PUNCH ONEECHAN! SHE WAS THE MOST HARMLESS PERSON IN THE WORLD. SHE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS, AND YOU DARE ATTACK HER?!
#22: *in a cowardly voice* I’m......sorry?
Akane: DR GERO AND ALL HIS CYBORGS WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID!! *Concentrates all her fury, as Akane’s body begins to turn slightly red, and small flames become apparent in her eyes*
Trunks: *looks up at the scene* The fire in Akane’s eyes.......*Then to everyone within the area* Everyone take cover!!!!!!!!!
Akane: PHEONIX INFERNO!!!!!!!!!!
*Akane punches forward with her right hand, and the background behind Akane explodes in a fiery blaze, as the flames shoot forward, passing her own body, guided by her hand. The flames swirled into #22, instantly melting then evaporating his body. Then the flames took on the form of a huge phoenix in the skies of Tokyo, and disperses in a radiant explosion similar to a super nova. The sky turns red for a matter of seconds, then back to it’s original color.*
Trunks: What power! If Akane hasn’t been so high up in the air, many buildings would have been destroyed.......She should really learn to control her powers...
Nabiki: *finally stepping out from hiding in the house* Whoa, was that sis?
*Akane turns back to normal and begins to fall to the ground*
Ryoga: Akane! *Jumps up and catches her in mid air and lands safely*
Akane: *slowly opens up her eyes* Ya....ta.
Trunks: *rushing over to Akane* She’s just tired....I can’t waste a senzu, I only have that many of them. I’ll go check the others.
*Kasumi was in the worst condition of all. Her face was bleeding, and many of the bones in her body was broken. She received a seed from Trunks. Ranma-Chan was cuddled by Shampoo at the time, with Mousse standing jealously over her. Ranma-Chan appears to be just unconscious, and quite cold, and Soun has no major wounds; being a martial artist enabled him survive such a blow.*
*we see Dr. Tofu running frantically into the scene*
Tofu: *notices the exterior mess of Kasumi’s face* Kasumi! Who would do such a thing to you?!
*Under normal circumstances Tofu’s glasses would fog up at the sight of Kasumi, but anger seemed to have temporarily corrected that problem*
Kasumi: Dr. Tofu, I’m alright. *Looks in a mirror* Oh dear, I suppose I do look kind of dirty. Now how did this happen?
Tofu: *letting out a sigh of relief* Thank god you’re alright.
Ryoga: umm doctor! *Points to Soun and Ranma-Chan*
Tofu: Those two look like they might need help. Thank you Ryoga. *Rushes to Soun*
Tofu: *examines Soun* a broken rib, and a sprained wrist, and just some skin injuries. Nothing to get too excited about! *Moves Soun’s arm in some weird motion* There you go! No more sprained wrist! Now mr. Tendo, I’ll just get some antibiotics to treat your wounds, and some cloth to suspend your ribs. But I must check Ranma-Chan first. *Rushes over to Ranma-Chan’s cold body*
Shampoo: Doctor come help Ranma-Chan quick!
Tofu: *examines Ranma-Chan* Her body is cold, I’ll bring her into the house, someone, prepare some warm blankets.
Kasumi: Hai Tofu Sensei!
=========================================================================
*An hour later*
*The snowfall continues outside, as inside, a group of people surrounds Ranma-Chan, who was lying on a futon and covered with warm blankets. Akane has also recovered, although not completely*
Akane: *whispering* Common Ranma!
*Ranma-Chan stirs a little, muttering something about “girl”*
Tofu: I think she might be coming out of it.....
Ranma-Chan: *slowly opens her eyes, which is met with many other pairs of eyes* Hey what’s this?
Shampoo: Ranma! You OK! Aiyah!
Akane: Ranma....*smiles*
Trunks: I knew he didn’t needed a senzu.
Ranma-Chan: *stares at her clothes* EEEE!!! What’s this, how come I’m dressed like this? *Jumps up and runs upstairs*
Ryoga: After all this he cares about his stupid clothes?
*In a few minutes, Ranma-Chan comes down in a pink suspender with the words “China” writen across the chest area*
Trunks: Ran....Ranma? How come’s you’re dressed like a girl?
Ranma-Chan: huh? *Looks confused* I AM a girl!
*Everyone in the room face-faults, some slap their hands to their foreheads, and some even slip and fell down*
=========================================================================== --end part 5
Man, that took longer than I expected. Oh, and sorry about my harsh treatment of Kasumi, but it was the perfect driving force for Akane’s transformation. ^_^. Next on part 6, Ranma think’s he’s a girl, again! Nani?! See you there!
