Begin Ranma 1/2 Z Part 7
====================================================================== *We last see Ryoga dashing away into the city*
Trunks: Where does he think he’s going? And at a time like this! *Motions to jump after Ryoga*
Akane: *holds hands out* Trunks, wait. Let Ryoga find Akari. The last thing we need is for another one of us to be gone too.
Trunks: *turns to Akane, a bit surprised* Ok. I’ll be here in case anything happens.
Ranma: *Stepping out* Hey who’s that weird bandanna guy?
Akane: *sigh* Ranma, we have to do something about your memories, but I think you should just stay put for now.
Ranma: *scratches head* uhh....sure...whatever.
Trunks: hmmm, I wonder if he still remembers to....
*Trunks jumps at Ranma with a kick, which Ranma instinctively ducks under.*
Ranma: Hey what the!
*Trunks doubles back with a 360 spin kick, which Ranma back flips out of. Ranma responds with his own attack and twirls into the air, and drills his feet into Trunks’s face. Trunks swaps Ranma down to the ground, but Ranma quickly bounces back up again, and gets in fighting stance.*
Trunks: *Wiping mouth, and smiles* At least I won’t have to retrain you again.
Ranma: *notices his position, and blinks* Wow, I didn’t know I can do kung fu. I don’t even remember how those moves come out.
Akane: Ranma! You still know how to fight!
Trunks: Ranma, you may have lost your memories, but years of martial arts training lets your body respond to attacks without even thinking.
Ranma: cool!
Akane: Still, it’s not gonna help much during a real fight.
Trunks: hmmmm......
==========================================================================
*Somewhere in this busy streets of Tokyo*
Ryoga: *clutching the letter, while turning his head left and right* Akari! Where are you? *Jumps on top of a building*
*20 blocks away, we see a cute, long haired girl with a HUGE pig by her side. The girl was wearing a semi-formal dress: a white patterned shirt, a small red ribbon at the neck of the shirt, and a striped skirt. Her looks are somewhat similar to Kasumi’s. People stare in amazement as they passes by; or more specifically, when her elephant sized pig passes by*
Akari: *ignoring the side glances from people* Sumo pig, isn’t it great to be in the city again? Things are just so exciting here.
Sumo-pig: *grunts and nods*
Akari: I hope I can see Ryoga-sama soon!
*Just then, all the teenage girls near the area starts yelling one by one, as a blurred shadow approaches each girl for a split second and quickly moves to the next. The trajectory of this object seems to be heading right toward Akari*
Akari: *gasp* Something’s wrong! Why are all the girl’s screaming like that? Sumo Pig! *Motions to the pig to get ready*
*Sumo pig jumps right in front of Akari, and gets in a protective stance.*
*The blurred object comes to a stop in front of the two, revealing a quite handsome young man, wearing a tie, an expensive jacket, and a pair of white jeans. Clipped to his belt is a pair of shining ice-skates. His well-combed, short brown hair and his looks suggest that he is of some royal background*
Figure: Allow me to introduce myself. I am Mikado Sanzanin. You might know me as one of the famed Golden Pair.
Akari: *stepping out a little from Sumo pig.* I think I remember seeing you on TV. You’re that ice-skating freak that always uses cheat methods of winning a competition.
Mikado: I think you might have confused me with my partner Asuza. No matter, winning skating competitions is no longer my objective. I am no longer the Mikado Japan has come to known. From now on, you may refer to me as Number 25.
Akari: #25? How silly! Did Azusa give you that name?
Mikado: *sinister laughter* My commands are to destroy those that dare stand in my master’s way. But first, my goal is to kiss every pretty girl in Japan to satisfy my honor. And I will have the greatest of pleasure in taking the first kiss away from one that is fair as you, Akari Unryuu.
Akari: *trembling, and backs off* Now I remember, you’re the one that goes around kissing girls. There’s no way on Earth I’ll let you touch me!
Mikado: *laughes some more* And who’s going to stop me?
*Akari promply runs and hides behind Sumo Pig*
Mikado: You think some oversized hog is going to stop me? What a joke!
*Sumo Pig charges Mikado on hind legs, madly thrusting punches with it’s two front “legs”. Mikado calmly dodges all of the strikes. Some bystanders watch in awe as they have never seen a ninja pig before”
Mikado: No need to mess up my hair in such a pointless tussle. *Uppercuts Sumo Pig into the air*
Akari: *watches her pig fly into the sky* Sumo pig!!!!
Bystander: Well I’ll be! Pigs can fly! Time to by some lottery tickets! *Dashes off*
Mikado: *combs hair* Well, that annoyance is gone, now it’s just you and me. *Slowly walks toward Akari*
Akari: *trembling in fear* No! Stand back!.....
Mikado: *sprays breath freshener into mouth* Ok, now I’m ready. *Picks up the pace toward Akari*
Akari: No!!! *Hides her face in her hands*
*A red umbrella flashes into the scene, embedding itself in the ground just in front of Mikado, stopping him in his tracks. Background music starts playing.*
Mikado: Who’s there?!
Ryoga: *from the top of a building* I am Tuxedo.....ahem, I am Ryoga Hibiki. How dare you try to take away the first kiss of innocent girls! This can go on no longer! In the name of the mo.....ahem, in vengeance for all the girls you kissed, I will punish you! *Lighting flashes in the sky behind Ryoga*
Akari: *looking up* Ryoga-sama!
Mikado: Bleah, where do you get this stuff? First it was roses, now it’s umbrellas? And what’s with the speech? It’s always the same “in the name of blah blah blah, I’ll punish you” Get some new material!
Ryoga: Why you! *Jumps down*
Akari: Ryoga-sama, you came at last!
Ryoga: *Looks at Akari* Don’t worry Akari, I won’t let this guy come close to you.
Mikado: Now I remember, you were that guy that paired up with the Pig-tailed girl in our last skating match. And how unfortunate for you that you are also one of my targets for the master.
Ryoga: Cut the crap, if you want to fight, then let’s get on with it. I’ve beaten you before, Mikado, and that time you had the location advantage. Let’s see how you do without skates!
Akari: Ryoga-sama, please be careful.
Mikado: {Ahh, so Ryoga has a soft spot for this girl, I will make much use of this} Very well Hibiki, but be warned, I am no longer the opponent you knew before. Do not refer to me as Mikado anymore, instead, call me Number 25!
Ryoga: #25?! Then you must a robot created by Dr Gero!
Mikado: Ho perceptive, but I am only partly robotic. Dr. Gero used my human body and turned it into a perfect killing machine. I can respond and think as when I was human, but I also have the obvious qualities of a robot.
Ryoga: So you’re a cyborg, big deal. I’ve always wanted a can opener.
Mikado: I will make short work of you, I doubt you can do any better than that pig I just swatted away.
Ryoga: *gets angry* Who you calling a pig?!
*Ryoga charges Mikado, throwing his barrage of head-bands. Mikado jumps way up into the air, and in one quick motion puts on his skates*
Ryoga: *picks up his umbrella from the ground* Rarrrh!!!
*Ryoga thrusts his umbrella upward toward Mikado, who touches the tip with his fingers and caused the umbrella to split apart. Ryoga kicks Mikado in the stomach, Mikado responds by grabbing his leg and throws him into a store. The window breaks with loud crash, sending people fleeing in all directions.*
Mikado: Will that be all? *Gets hit by a chi-blast from the store* Uggh! *Flies to the other side of the street*
Ryoga: *emerging from the rubble with minor scratches* No way I’m going down that easily! *Runs to the fallen Mikado, unleashing his belt and slashing it like a sword*
Mikado: *double flips back* I’ll show you my new figure 8!
*Mikado speeds around Ryoga in figure 8s, with Ryoga in the middle of the intersection, and hits Ryoga at a different place each time. His speed is too fast for Ryoga to see. Ryoga reels back with each hit, but he learns the pattern quickly, and finally ducks, thrusts feet upward, which catches Mikado’s head at just the right moment. Ryoga forcefully jumps up, with Mikado’s head caught in his legs, and does a twist. A crackling sound can be heard as Mikado’s head is turned all the way back. Not one to miss an opportunity, Ryoga flips down, sweeps Mikado off the ground, and sends a knee right up his spinal column. Mikado hits the ground with a loud thud*
Mikado: *gets up, grips his head with both hands, and turns his head back into it’s normal position* You seem to have gotten a lot stronger. But I can sense that you’re also getting tired, while I can last on forever. You’ll undoubtly lose.
Ryoga: Usee! Shi Shi Hokoudan! *Clasps hands together and fires his Chi-blast*
Mikado: huh! *Whacks the chi-blast away with his hands* Such a weak attack is useless! I won’t even have to break a sweat to beat you.
*Mikado comes at Ryoga, and successfully hits him with numerous punches. Mikado does several spin kicks with his blades on. Ryoga desperately dodges, but is still cut several times. Ryoga does his Bakusai Tenketsu in front of Mikado, hoping it’ll distract him. But Mikado leap up, and knees Ryoga to the gound.*
Ryoga: *blood running down his nose* Bastard! *Tries a flip kick*
Mikado: Don’t blame me you’re so weak. *Catches Ryoga’s kick, and flings him back into the streets, near Akari*
Akari: *runs over to Ryoga* Ryoga-sama! Daijoubu?
Ryoga: *looks up at Akari* Akari, run....I can’t beat him.....
Akari: Ryoga, I won’t leave you!
Ryoga: Dammit! Akari, get away!...please.. ARGG!
*Ryoga yells in pain as Mikado comes over and steps on him*
Mikado: I think it’s obvious that you struggle is over. *Bends down, and grabs Ryoga’s neck, and slowly raises him up into the air, dangling*
Ryoga: Ugh.....*blood begins to drip down to the ground*
Mikado: You should be dead in a few seconds..
Ryoga: {No, it can’t end like this!}
**Images begin to form in Ryoga’s head. We see Ranma clinging closely to Akane, and both with smiles on their faces.
Ranma: *waves to Ryoga* Good bye Ryoga. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Akane.
Akane: *waves to Ryoga* Sayonara Ryoga-kun, it’s too bad you didn’t live long enough to see me and Ranma get married. The wedding just won’t be the same without you.
Ryoga: Wait! Akane! Don’t leave me! I never got the chance to say I love y.....
Akane: *cutting off Ryoga, frowning* That’s not my fault now is it? You had so many chances to say it when you were alive, but you didn’t, because you couldn’t make up your mind.
Ryoga: But...but
Ranma: Sorry Ryoga, but with you gone, Akane and I can live happily without you always messing things up.
Ryoga: Ran....Ranma! I’ll kill you before I die.
Ranma: Don’t look like that’s possible, you’re too weak to fight through this jam.
Akane: That’s right Ryoga. You were always too weak to deserve me.
Ryoga: No.....no....this can’t be happening.....
Akane: What are you worrying about? There’s still Akari who loves you, remember? Do you love her?
Ryoga: Akane.... Akari...I .. can’t lose either of you.
Akane: *folds arms* That’s just what I expected from you. You are just like Kuno, well I’m don’t care now, I’m with Ranma. *Glomps onto Ranma*
Ryoga: jjj...fff....*almost breaking down*
Ranma: *turns to Akane* Akane, I love you. *Grabs her hands*
Akane: *looks up at Ranma’s eyes* I love you too, Ranma..
*Ryoga’s world shatters, every single image breaks apart into sharp fragments of glass, as the images comes to an end.**
Ryoga: *Still in Mikado’s grip, body shakes a little at Akane’s last remark, and an orange aura starts to build around his body* akane.......
Mikado: What? You’re still alive? *Reinforces grip on Ryoga’s neck*
Akari: *bangs on Mikado* Let him go!
Mikado: *turning to Akari* Ah yes, I still haven’t forgot about you, cutie. *Grabs Akari close with his other hand, while holding Ryoga*
Akari: Ahhhhheeee!!!! *Tries to shake loose*
*Ryoga, at the sound of Akari screaming, slowly bends his elbow, as his aura continues to glow*
Mikado: *not noticing Ryoga, as he concentrates on Akari* Sorry I made you wait this long. *Bends his down to kiss Akari*
Akari: No!....Ryoga! hel...upmmmfff *Her cry is muffled as Mikado lays a passionate kiss on her lips*
Ryoga: *eyes shot open, and sees the scene in front of him* Arhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
*As Ryoga’s aura expands around his body, Mikado, in shock, releases hi grip on both Ryoga and Akari, throwing her away*
Ryoga: Arggggggggggggggg! *His entire body is embued with pure energy, causing the whole block of street to be flooded with light*
Mikado: *covering his eyes*. What the hell!
*As the transformation is finally completed, we see Ryoga, standing in the middle of a cleansed street, surrounded by aura, with tears running down his eyes. His golden and spiky hair moves rhythmically with the pulses of his aura*
Ryoga: *looks up* Ranma....I will never let you have Akane, NEVER! Argggg! *Turns to Mikado* And you! How dare you take away Akari’s first kiss *Charges Mikado*
Mikado: Unbelievable! Ughhhh! *Gets hit from Ryoga’s punches all over his body*
Ryoga: Die! *Kicks Mikado up into the air* Shi Shi Houkodan!
*Mikado gets blown into the clouds, and arcs back down, leaving a trail of smoke.*
Mikado: *levitates from hitting the ground* Argg! Death revolution!
*Mikado spins with unbelievable speed, creating a giant buzz-saw, using his skates at the edge of the saw, and spins toward Ryoga. Ryoga jumps away, and the saw follows in pursuit, coming at Ryoga in almost every direction.*
Ryoga: *gets sliced in the stomach* Enough! *Rips out his head bands, and flings them at Mikado*
*Once the head-bands leave Ryoga’s hands, they themselves are each surrounded by aura, and becomes chi-cutters, heading for the spinning saw. The chi-cutters flies straight into Mikado, making several crunching and clanging sounds. Some cutters fly straight pass Mikado, which at Ryoga’s control comes back to attack Mikado again. When all the cutters converge at Mikado’s body, an explosion follows, leaving a dented and blackened Mikado*
Ryoga: *Jumps up into the air, arching toward Mikado* Before, this technique only works on rocks, but now, even your steel plated body won’t stand up against it! *Pulls his fist back, and extends his fore-finger.*
*Rays of light begins to spin around the Ryoga’s finger, which converges into a sphere of light at the finger tip. As Ryoga gets closer to Mikado, the intensity of the light grows*
Mikado: *Tries to move* Damn! He screwed my internal motor functions....*looks up* This sucks.....
Ryoga: Your breaking point is right...Here!!!! BAKUSAI TENKETSU KAITEIBAN!
*Ryoga jabs his finger into Mikado’s right chest. The light from Ryoga’s finger seems to spread out all over Mikado’s body. First Mikado’s chest breaks apart, then his whole body explodes in smokey and firey destruction, sending debris all over the street*
Ryoga: It’s...over... *His aura drops, and his hair turns back to normal, and falls to the ground*
Voice: Hey! Ryoga!
Ryoga: *looks up* What? Who...
Trunks: *on the top of a building* Me! Who else? I saw your light all the way from the dojo. I thought there might be trouble, so I came.
Ryoga: *gets an angry look on his face* Why didn’t you come earlier, since you said you could sense chi, why didn’t you help when I really needed it. I was almost killed back there!
Trunks: I sensed your chi was dropping at a quickly rate, but I also sensed that there’s a force inside you that won’t let you give up, so I let it do it’s job, and it worked! You finally transformed into Super Saiyajin. I’m surprised you didn’t lose consciousness yet after you de-transformed.
*Ryoga’s eyes roll up, and falls to the ground out-cold*
Trunks: Spoke too soon....
Akari: *Runs out from the shop she was hiding in* Ryoga-sama! Ryoga-sama!
=============================================================================
*Back at the dojo. It is now night time*
Akari: *sits beside a sleeping Ryoga, smiling* I always knew Ryoga-sama was the strongest in the world.
Soun: *Notices Akari* Seems like we have a new guest.
Nabiki: Yeah dad, this is Ryoga’s girlfriend, Akari.
*Akari blushes*
Kasumi: That’s nice, a nice boy like Ryoga deserves someone like Akari.
Akari: Oh...Ryoga-sama still hasn’t made up his mind about yet, but I’ll be waiting until he does.
Akane: Akari, I think Ryoga really cares about you.....
Akari: You think so Akane?
Akane: Positive, or else he wouldn’t have gotten so much power back there. *Smiles*
Akari: Thanks Akane....
*Ryoga begins twitch*
Ryoga: *whispering* Akane....*Loudly* Akari! *Sits straight up, sweating and sucking in air*
Akari: Ryoga-sama, you’re awake! *Hugs Ryoga*
Ryoga: *Looks down and sees Akari* Akari, thank god you’re all right.
Akari: Ryoga-sama, I love you! *Hugs tighter*
*Everyone begins to stare at Akari and Ryoga*
Ryoga: *blushing brightly, and looks into Akari’s eyes* Akari....
Nabiki: Oh common now Ryoga! What else you want her to do? Just say it! *Snickers as she takes several pictures and turns on a recorder*
Ryoga: Akari...I also want to say that....I...
Akari: *suddenly jumps up* Oh my god! Sumo pig! Ryoga-sama, I have to go, hopefully by the time I come back you’ll finally make up your mind. *Bows* Ja mata! *Runs out of the dojo*
*everyone stares in amazement at Akari’s abrupt departure*
Ryoga: Akari! Wait!
Akane: He’s so close.......
Kasumi: Poor Ryoga.........
=========================================================================== -end part 7
There goes another part. So far writing this part gave me the greatest difficulty. I was really reluctant to have any of the characters say “I love you” because I’m very cautious and scared of using that phrase. Also, this part included a bit too much “mushy” stuff for my style. Send me comments on whether you like me to include romantic scenes in this fanfic, or that romantic scenes degrades my story. Oh, one more thing, hope you liked the slight “Sailor Moon” bit in this part. ^_^
