They reminisced about old times before going out on a boy’s night. They trashed some of the local marines, before meeting a super- marine named Guile, who defeated Ranma. While Ranma recovered, Ken challenged Guile and lost while the brothers decided to go around the world and look for worthy challengers. Wishbringer presents: A Wishbringer production in conjunction with Wishbringer's imagination. Ranma 1/2 V Ch. 3a: Kaloon Palace pt. 1. Sneaking in, the devil’s invitation Nerimia Ward, Tokyo, Japan. Tendo Dojo. In this little ward, peace had finally settled in, as the dominate force of all the violence, one Saotome Ranma, had left Nerimia. Many rejoiced, while others mourned, as he seemed to bring a special spark to their very dull experience. One such case was that of Tendo Soun. He was gathered with Ranma’s tousan, Genma, discussing his abrupt disappearance. Soun: So you just let him up and leave without his fiancée? Saotome-kun, how could you? Genma: Tendo-kun, I, in all reality, couldn’t keep him hear if I tried. When Ryu shows up, Ranma seems to really come alive in his art. It was for the best he left. Soun: But what of our agreement? Can you honestly tell me that Ranma will return to honor our agreement? Genma: Tendo-kun, you really should know better by now. He will return to marry Akane! Soun: But.... Genma: I’m telling you for the last time, relax! He...Will...Return! Soun: All right then, Saotome-kun. Shougi? Genma: Always, Saotome-kun. Meanwhile... Hong Kong, China. A city of beauty and deep, dark ancient secrets. Many come here for the tourism, but tonight, three men had finally arrived for the fight. Ken: So, boys, where have you heard about Hong Kong on the fighting scene? Ryu: Not much. I heard there was supposed to be some sort of ki master in some of the more remote regions, but revels himself to those worthy enough. What about you Ranma-ototochan? Ranma: Well, Oyaji an me heard bout this place called Kaloon Palace. It’s suppose to be a place where real he-men go the see who’s the best of the best! Ken: Sounds good to me! Let’s get settled and find this Kaloon Palace! Ranma: One more thing. Ken: Yea? Ranma: I....kinda... forgot... where it is. Ryu & Ken: NANI?!? So now what? Man: I believe I could be of some assistance. The boys turned to the voice. They saw an old Chinese man in long purple chinese robes with white trim and red shoes. He had long white hair, and apparently no pupils. He was smiling a little darkly at the boys. Ryu: Who are you? Man: I am known by many names, but you may call me Gen. And as I said, I believe I can be of some assistance to you. Ken: What do you know of Kaloon Palace? Gen: I know that getting in will not be an easy task. There is a zone in Hong Kong that is known as the “Lawless zone.” You could easily see it in Hong Kong’s skyline at night. At night, many fighters gather for money and respect. You might do well to go there to start. Ranma: Matte, jiisan. Why are you being so helpful? Gen: You have had a run in with Kul Lon, have you not? Ranma: How do you know her? Gen: That is none of your business. But anyone that has been taught by her, is worthy of my notice. Could you come with me for a second? Ranma: Guys? Ken: Here’s the address of where we’ll be staying here. Don’t be to late! Ranma: See ya, guys! So, whadda wanna show me, Jiisan? Gen: Answer me this, are you and your brother students of the Musabetsu Kakutou Ryuu? Ranma: How do you know of our school? Gen: I sensed it in your aura. It is easy to spot if you’ve lived as long as I have. I also know of your Grandmaster, one Happosai. His escapades were legendary. He invented many techniques to utilize a persons ki to it’s limits. But it all relied upon his perversions. Your aura shows a great influence by his art, but what you have learned in itself, is a perversion of his art. Ranma: So..... what you’re sayin‘, is that I don’t gotta worry about bein some sorta mega hentai to be the best? Gen: Of course. But you’re well on your way to developing your own art style completely in contrast to his. I would like to assist you on your way. Ranma: I don’t get this. Why are you being so helpful? Gen: I’ve my reasons. Let us go to someplace that’s a little more private. Ranma followed Gen to a deserted warehouse by the docks. It was deserted and very spacious. In the middle, was a large crate. Ranma: Well, here we are, whadda wanna show me? Gen: Patience, young one. It is now time. Gen: Röga Ken Dan!!!!! (Wolf Fang Fist Shot.) Ranma:........S....sugoi..... Gen: Heh, Youth. That was the move at only 10% power. Ranma: T- t- t- t- t-ten percent?!??! Gen: I believe that with the proper training, you will be able to tap into the maneuvers full power. I think it’s time for you to be running along. Ranma: Oh, man! I’m real late. Domo Arigato, Jiisan! Ranma took off toward the hotel, as Gen looked on with a strange look in his eyes. When Ranma was gone, Gen’s form changed. His skin darkened and gained more muscular mass. His Chinese clothing changed into a black gi. His white hair became a blazing fiery red, And his eyes glowed in an eerie red. Gouki: Good luck to you Saotome Ranma. I do hope that you and your brother do reach the full potential of our Shotokan art. Maybe then, and only then, I can finally be the next to die!!! And as the evil laughter of Gouki filled the Chinese sea air, Ranma was just getting into his hotel room. The décor was very spacious and extravagant, so with a guy like Ranma coming in off the streets, it would be hard to believe he had a place reserved here for him. Ranma noticed that Ryu was doing finger push-ups on the couch, and Ken was talking to some strange girl, who he noted was Chinese, wearing her hair in a bun, with a black shirt and a short white skirt. Ken: Ah, Ranma-kun! Welcome back! You’re just in time for us to go! Ranma: Hey, Ken! Who’s the girl? Ken: Say hello to Chun Li, Ranma. Chun Li, this is Ryu’s brother, Ranma. Chun Li: Nice to meet you, Ranma-san! Ranma: Pleasure’s all mine, Chun. No need to be so formal. Chun: Gomen, Ranma. Ken: I hired Chun Li to be a guide for us while we’re in Hong Kong. Ryu: I....tried to....tell him....that he....could ......save money.....by....using us. Ken: But you’re knowledge goes only to the remote areas and such. We need her as a city tour guide. Ranma: Hey, I say let Ken spend his money anyway he wants. It is his after all. Ken: Damn straight. Ranma: So when we leavin? Ken: Pretty soon. I ordered a helicopter to pick us up. Chun: Were going in a helicopter? Ooooohh, how exciting! Ryu: So, how’d that meeting with Jiisan go? Ranma: It was so cool!! He showed me this one move where his whole body glowed! Ryu: So? What’s so special about a glowing body? Ranma: Well, he.. Ken: Save It for now, boys. Our chopper is here. After making their way to the rooftop, they met their pilot, Matt, and where on their way. Chun Li did her best as a tour guide pointing out the various spots in the city. Ken did look a little interested, while Ranma and Ryu where engaged in their own conversation continuing from the hotel. They were making good time and had a lovely view of the skyline until, Matt: So, where you kids want to go next? Ranma: Actually, Can you take us there? Matt: Nani? The area Ranma had pointed out to was a square area of complete darkness around the city. Light dared not to intrude this zone of darkness. This brought Ken and Ryu’s attention to full force. Ranma, Ryu, Ken: *That has to be where Kaloon Palace is!* Meanwhile, in another place on Earth, an entirely new development was brewing involving the members of the Shotokan school. In a enclosed area that seems to be in outer space, A duo of people could be seen sitting at a wide white round table. Both of the figures features where hidden to the others by white robes. Voice: So, they have begun their journey? Then the end has begun. Voice: Not nessicially. They have their first companion with them, and they’re on their way to meet their next. But you are correct, Brother Seki. If they are not ready when _HE_ appears, then it is the end of everything, and _HE_ will become aware of them in a matter of time. Seki: So, Sister Rose, do you have a good estimation of when _HE_ will appear? We have allowed his existence upon this plane for to long. _HE_ has grown to powerful, and these measures must be taken to ensure that _HE_ is ended. Rose: Brother Seki, I fear that I am not that good of an estimator. They have many changes to go through in order to ensure his defeat. The boy, Ranma has already started down the path to his ultimate move that will ensure _HIS_ destruction. It is time our little discussion came to an end for now, would you not agree, Brother? Seki: Of course. You will continue to monitor their progress? Rose: Without question. Our survival depends on them after all. Sayonara. After Rose takes her leave, Seki turns behind him as a portion of that space is replaced by the vision of Ranma, Ryu, Ken, and Chun Li. Ryu and Ken are in their respective dogi, as Ranma is in his traditional outfit. Chun Li appears to be in her outfit from SFZ 1. Seki: To think that these children are all that stands between this world’s purification and it’s damnation. The images of Ken and Chun Li fade out to focus more upon those of Ranma and Ryu. Seki: Both of you are strong, but Rose is unwise to pin all our hopes upon the younger Saotome. She couldn’t possibly know the true boy of the heavens of these brothers. Heaven help us all, should something happen to either of them. We are at to critical of a juncture to lose them now. *Saotome Ranma, Chaotic Horse. Saotome Ryu, can you live to become the dragon your name implies? Kami-sama, give me strength.* And elsewhere... Nabiki: I don’t understand it. In Ranma’s former room, Nabiki found Akane sitting in the darkness in the area Ranma’s former futon took. It seemed that Akane had the roughest time after Ranma’s departure. Kuno had reinstated the Akane fan club, so it was back to the old routine of kill pervs, kill Kuno-baka. And now, when Akane had come home, she would go into the either the dojo to relive stress or into Ranma’s old room for hours until it was time for dinner and her studies. Akane: What’s there to understand. He left and poof! No more engagement! Isn’t it great? Nabiki: Akane, don’t think you can fool me for one second. Akane: Oro? Nabiki: I know you miss Ranma, Imoutochan. Akane: Oneechan, you must be crazy to think I miss.... yea, you’re right, oneechan. What I don’t understand is why I miss him? It’s not like I like him or nothin, I just miss him. Nabiki: Maybe it’s because you miss the one guy not trying to get with you. Akane: And what’s wrong with me? I am NOT a kawaiikune tomboy! Why does he even call me that? Nabiki: That’s one I don’t know, Akane. But I do know he did care for you. Akane: So why’d he leave? Nabiki: I suppose the eternal call of the martial artist got to him. I never saw that side of Ranma until Ryu showed up. Those two seem to have a real deep bond, y’know? Akane: Don’t tell me, “One that transcends brotherhood?” That’s so tacky! Nabiki: Regardless, There seems to be something there that I just don’t get yet. Akane: Well, with you being you, you’ll figure it out. Nabiki: No doubt about it Imoutochan. Akane: By the by..... Nabiki: Hai? Akane: Why are you talking to me like this? I would’ve half expected you to charge me by now or somthin. Nabiki: Must I always have to have an ulterior motive to talk to my Imoutochan? I‘m hurt. Akane: Gomen ne, Oneechan. I didn’t mean... Nabiki: I know, daijobu. I’m just kiddin. Let’s say I’m just trying to cheer you up and my ulterior motive is to get rid of this Ayanami syndrome you got. Akane: Oneechan! The conversation exploded into a fit of giggles at that point. And at yet, another place in Japan, we see a tall boy equipped with a bandolier in a boy’s uniform. His long brown hair was tied into a loose ponytail behind his head, and his face was contorted into that of rage. In his fist held was a piece of crumpled paper. Boy: Saotome. At last, I’ve found you! I shall have my vengeance! Let’s go back to Hong Kong ne? Ranma: Glad we got that guy into dropping us off here. I thought we’d never get here! Ken: No foolin, what a worrywart! As if we needed help here! Ryu: Li-kun , are you sure that you should come with us? It’s dangerous for a girl, y’know. Chun: Hmph! You wanted a tour guide, you got one! I can take care of myself! Ranma: Alright already! Here we are! The group was in front of a very large steel door with a metal slide door for security. Guard: Yea, whadda youse kids want? Ain’t it pass yer bedtime? Ryu: We’re here for the night’s fight! Guard: No kiddin? Well do watch out fer da champ. He might mistake youse all fer his breakfast. Ranma: Well crew, Ikuze! End Ch. #3 Pt. 1 Notes: Well, after all real life had to throw at me recently, I barely had time to write this chapter! I was feeling quite lazy so I’m breaking Ch. 3 into a multi-parter. Also, I’m still quite disappointed in the way Sakura Ranma is looking. Story wise, it’s fine, but I’m despising it’s format of scripts. So, starting with Ch. 6, I'm changing the format to paragraphs if I can. Old habit may be hard to break y’kno. Well, Sakura Ranma Ch. 5 is about 10- 20% done and may be finished soon. In the meanwhile, for those who are reading this, here’s the free preview! CH. 5: Sakura’s Rivals appear! Part 1: Dream Match’97’s aftermath. Sakura’s Chinese Rival Format of dreamless sleep. The emptiness and darkness is very lonely and cold. We experience this more often than we think, but can never remember it. Suddenly, inside the darkness, a form takes shape slowly. Saotome Ranma, in his tattered rags of an outfit, slowly takes shape. His eyes are closed and a content look is on his face. He is slowly floating down in this void, unaware of his surroundings. Suddenly, a white tile floor appears, and Ranma floats gently down upon the floor on his back. Another form can be seen now. Very tall and wearing a long white robe, with black trim. The head isn't hidden, and we see it appears to be a female human. Her long black hair flows down to what we can assume is her waist. Her eyes are green, but also seem empty. She walks up to Ranma's prone form, and holds out her left hand. A white aura surrounds it as she touches Ranma's forehead. Woman: Awaken Instantly, Ranma is awake, and groggily gets up. He looks and apparently did not recognize his surroundings. Ranma: Koko wa doko da? Woman: Not on earth. You’re in a place called Dreamscope. Ranma: How did I...? Woman: Xianhua. Ranma: The fight! I remember now! Saffron.... he's still alive. Chizuru-san, did you know? Chizuru: Yes, but at this point, it is not important. Ranma: What do you mean, "It's not important?" It's Saffron, for kami sake! He's a damn monster! Chizuru: He will be dealt with in time. Right now, he is busy tending to Xianhua's wounds. You almost killed her you know. Ranma: I know, and I just can't believe I lost control like that. Chizuru: Do you believe your actions were warranted at the time? Ranma: I’m not sure. I just lost myself .... That’s something that really disturbs me. And I used a move from the Umisen-Ken! And I swore I wouldn’t.... Chizuru: That is the least of your worries, Ranma. Sakura has recently awaken her magical abilities. How was this possible? Ranma: With this thing called the Clow Book. It requires magical abilities to open, and I suppose it awoke her abilities. Chizuru: Then the time is almost upon us. Keep watch over her, Ranma. This is all I can say for now. Ranma: Of course I will. But what are you keeping? Chizuru: That, I cannot say. You shall find out for yourself. Just watch out for her, as she will be the key. Ranma: What do you mean key? M-matte! Not yet! Chizuru: Now is not the proper time. The next time you shall be here, it will all be clear to you. Ranma: Next time?!? Chizuru: I hope that answer will become clear to you Saotome Ranma. She is the key to make you either this worlds salvation or it’s destruction. Saotome Compound, Tomoeda, Japan. Ranma awoke to see his sisters, mother, and Kasumi End Teaser. BWAHAHA!!!!!! By the by, special thanks to the guy who goes by MWhaleK for the use of the name of a move he came up with the Röga Ken Dan. It didn’t have a description, so I made it up myself. You can also start to find my stuff faster on Fanfiction.net, as that’s where I’m posting first from now on. Any comments I’ve not addressed, you can e-mail me and ask. Well, Till Next Time, Oyasumi Nasai! (Goodnight!) Wishbringer Saturday, March 17, 2001
