How the Hell do I juggle so many stories at once!? I don't know why I do, but unfortunately I won't be doing much for this story until I finish some of my others, so if it looks appealing, sorry. I can tell you, though, I'm immensely psyched to work on this story. Right now, you and I will have to make do with the prologue. But don't worry, I'll do more as soon as I finish 'Search for Three', promise!
Disclaimer: I've played Tekken 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. After beating 5 a few times, I thought a Ranma crossover with 4, the one I played and knew the most, would be cool. It's not canon and is a fanfic.
Ranma stood on the deck of the Tendo house. A storm was coming, and a big one at that! Akane came up beside him. The chime clanged wildly and leaves flew in dozens off the trees.
"Ranma, why do you come inside?"Akane asked kindly. Ranma simply stood there, silent. "Is something wrong?"she asked. Still no answer. She grew alittle agitated by this. "Well if you won't answer-"
"Shush!"Ranma snapped.
"Ex-CUSE ME?"Akane growled.
"I have a bad feeling. Be quiet!"Ranma said quickly. Just then, a bolt of lightning lit up the sky. Akane jumped at the loud burst. Then, the rain came. Ranma sat down on the deck and listened to the soothing sounds of the storm, still alert. Just then, he heard a loud thump. Ranma's eyes snapped open and he ran into the rain, transformed, and leapt over the wall of the Tendo house. She saw and amazingly old man lying face down on the ground, looking roughed up. Ranma called for Akane to help her bring him inside. He didn't look like he was in good condition. After helping him inside and drying him off, he finally began to regain consciousness. He looked slowly from one person to the next, and finally at Ranma.
"Are you okay, mister?"Ranma asked. He began to push himself up off the floor.
"Please, don't strain yourself!"Akane said, but he jumped up quickly, with ease, much to the shock of everyone there.
"Many thanks."he said calmly. "Tell me, do you know where I can find Happosai, my childhood friend?"he asked kindly.
"The master has been gone for some time. He has yet to return."Soun responded. The old man bowed his head.
"Master, you say? You must be his disciple. How long has he been gone?"
"About three days. Whadd'ya want with the old man?"Ranma asked. The old man turned to Ranma, a serious look in his eyes.
"You have heard of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4?"he asked.
"I've seen it on TV."Akane said.
"And heard some people at school talking about it."Ranma added. But a chill shot through both Genma and Soun.
"We both wanted to enter the King of Iron fist Tournament and the second."Genma said.
"But there was some scary stuff going on with them, we heard."Soun added.
"What do you mean 'scary stuff', dad?"Akane asked. But the old man interrupted.
"Allow me to introduce myself."he said quickly. "I am Wang Jinrei. I am an old friend of Happosai."
"You said that already."Ranma said quickly, but Wang obviously didn't notice.
"I must participate in The King of Iron Fist tournament 4. There are forces at work that I must put a stop to."he said walking off. Ranma, however, grabbed his arm.
"Listen, old man. You're in no condition to fight. You should stay here while you-" At that moment, Wang grabbed Ranma and flung her out over the wall. He and Akane came to her.
"I am in perfect shape. Those kids in the armor think they can beat me, they've got a few screws loose if you ask me."Wang said proudly. Akane turned to him and tapped him quickly in a bruise on his side, and he fell right over.
"What the Hell are you doing, dammit!"he said weakly.
"Please, sir. Why don't you let Me and Ranma go in your place?"she said with a bow.
"Preposterous! Two young girls can't possibly pose any threat to Heihachi Mishima!"he called back to her.
"Trust me."Ranma began, hoisting Wang up with her foot. "We're a lot stronger than you think."she said proudly as she flipped him up and grabbed him by the chest.
"So, you have some skills, but I still say you are not enough to beat Heihachi."he said again.
"Well listen!"Ranma snapped. "I took down a demon a few weeks ago, so I guess I can do something against him! Me an' Akane are gonna take your place in that tournament, capice?"
"Fine, but promise me one thing."he said solemnly. Ranma and Akane both leaned close to the old man, listening intently. "..................Find a man to take your place once you two are beaten, okay?"he said. Ranma and Akane kicked him over the wall together.
A long prologue, huh? Anyway, since it will be a while before my next chapter, Ranma, Akane and Ryoga go and enter The Tekken 4 Tournament, but as you can tell, all does not go well. But that's next time. Sorry. Well, until then.
