Release the Ball of Fury
A little Ranma half/Dragon Ball crossover
This story takes place when Ryoga managed to perfect his Shishi Hokodan leaving Ranma's counter attract a less threat. Which leads us to...that's right, Ranma can't lose from a directionless pig.
please don't be mean :3
Heads up: Some of my grammars may be wrong since English is not my main language.
Both Ranma half and Dragon Ball characters are not mine they belong to Rumiko Takahashi ( Ranma half) and Akira Toriyama (DB)
1. On with your pride
All of the students of Furinkan were glad to have their field back to its normal state. The hole Ryoga and Ranma made did a great damage, not to mention a great damage to Principal Kuno's repair funds.
Yes, it had been weeks after the fight and yet it seems that nothing had happened. Not to mention this place is Nerima, a place where trouble can be found .
' he can't surely be stronger than me, nah I beat 'me to it'...said his thoughts while lying inside the dojo facing the ceiling. Thinking about his last encounter with Ryoga.
Ranma is convinced as the strongest man alive in Japan, or so he thought. His pride of winning the battle against the hell of a shit Shishi Hokodan proved that he was strong and smart. Yup he was a genius, knowing that he could take advantage on his enemy's power against them. Fooling Ryoga that he, Ranma, kissed Akane flared up all his depressions into one big energy ball. Using the Shishi Hokodan as a push and distraction as he told Ryoga it was just a lie. Making a great punch to the face and a sting of Ryoga's own medicine.
Ranma grinned a the thought, but something still bothers him a lot.
Is he really a level below Ryoga?
Sure Ranma spent his whole childhood traveling and training, but he had not encountered such techniques before.
Ryoga learned the Bakusai Tenketsu from the old ghoul, then got that weirded tattoo in his stomach that made him strong. And now he learned that Shishi Hokodan from a construction worker.
And that was the most dangerous so far.
" hmm what do I have that he doesn't" he asked to himself
His Kachü Tenshin Amaguriken was one his achievement and his Hiryü Shöten Ha was his ultimate achievement, also from the old hag. The Mökö Takabisha, which he invented out of his pride, was a useless counter attack against Ryoga's power attack of depression. The Neko Ken maybe usefull but he just cant stand the insanity getting close to cat. The rest of his own techniques...well let's say they were use full in some way
" how come I didn't use my Hiryü Shöten Ha against him? that could have done the trick" he thought deeply, obviously he wasn't thinking much that time.
Ranma sat up. all those techniques were good, but not as good as Ryoga's power of depression and it's capability.
He doesn't have that kind of depression, he has his damn pride and that's all. He knows his own capabilities and his own strength.
Then again that same damn question ran through his head.
Is he really a level, or so, below Ryoga? The master of depression?
"Ranma lunch is almost ready" Kasumi shouted outside the dojo's door "do you mind getting Akane at Dr. Tofu's? I can't call her, our phone has been cut off "
His thoughts were caught up by Kasumi's sweet voice. He was deep down in his thoughts that he was surely man enough than Ryoga. Still he needs to figure this one out after lunch. And...
Of course Ranma could not neglect from Kasumi "Sure Kasumi"
—at Dr. Tofu's—
"So that's what had happened. Oh my, good thing Ranma can still hold on to that blow"
Dr. Tofu said amazingly after hearing from Akane about the battle between Ranma and Ryoga.
"It was scary though, Cologne did mention that the technique is far off dangerous. It could kill the user itself once it's out of control" Akane worriedly said, thinking about Ranma.
"Ranma has nothing against that, he could get seriously hurt...oh well, luckily he was using his head"
Then again, Akane suddenly flamed her anger. Remembering Ranma shouted he saw her panties and lied that they kissed. "Perverted jerk, trying to sneak in my underwear!"
"I do remember that kind technique once it was perfected. Good thing I came across it" said happily as if the story was just a play.
"it's called the Shin Shishi Hōkōdan, True Lion's Roar Blast. As what you described me about that massive blast, that's some energy Ryoga got there."
"it's out of depression"
Both Akane and Dr. Tofu startled with the third party who spoke behind them. It was Ranma. It seems like he just arrived.
"correction, a massive depression and hello there Ranma how are you?"
"Lookin' good as always" he shot back as he entered the clinic
Dr. Tofu welcomed him inside. Beside the doorway, he noticed a bag full of radish. He sat a few feet away from Akane and glared at her.
"And yeah it was a good thing a used my head but who would want to look at your muscle toned body " Ranma sarcastically said to Akane
"if you haven't noticed YOU have to be the so-happy-go-lucky-that-I-can-beat-the-hell-out-of-Ryoga-using-my-big-big-BIG-jerky-mouth at him!"
Akane furuiosly yelled at him. Well as usual Ranma would counter it.
"Look who's talking, if ya hadn't said the words 'I hate you' at him"
"he asked me to say it"
"oh, so you obliged"
"because he asked me, numb-skull. I didn't know that could upset him so much"
"Oh really? And ya have ta oblige without thinking why he wanted ya to say it."
He's right, but Akane DID asked Ryoga why and he didn't respond so Akane went through it.
"Uncute tomboy, doesn't know how ta think. Now you'll never catch a husband"
That's it! On with Akane's temper
Suddenly a mallet came out of nowhere and WHAM.
Ranma had it coming.
—as they were leaving—
Dr. Tofu aided Ranma's bump on his forehead that Akane whacked with a mallet before they leave the clinic. As the two teens stepped out of the door, Dr. Tofu called Ranma back for awhile.
"What's up Doc" Ranma had just to ask, he's starving already.
"About Ryoga's Shishi Hokodan... I mean the ultimate one Shin Shishi Hōkōdan-"
Ranma looked at Dr. Tofu with a blank face.
"- I've heard that move while I was traveling through the mountains up north. I came across a miner and told me all about it. He said it would take years to master such ki blast, but some guy had overcome to learn it so quickly. He sensed Ryoga's blast from afar"
"wow that's amazing"
"yes I'm afraid so but Ranma after I have heard from Akane, you were underestimating Ryoga that made him trigger the Shin Shishi Hōkōdan. Judging from Akane's story, Ryoga might have mastered the move. What he doesn't know that he had suddenly released a big ki blast of ultimate distruction that may lead you and him dead on the spot"
Shocked from what he had heard, Ranma realized he haddone it again, big time. Thanking Kami he's... They're still alive
"Listen Ranma, I know you don't wanna lose from him but you have to let Ryoga realize that he can beat you at some point. He needs to get his hopes up again so he won't use his Shin Shishi Hōkōdan, in other words he won't get killed"
" What!" he couldn't let that pork breath win against him . His PRIDE won't let him " but Doc you know my reputation, I couldn't let that Lost Boy win. It's a man- to-man fight. A fair fight"
'Oh boy he could be stubborn as Akane and a bit gay of his pride'... Tofu thought, thinking of another way to uplift Ryoga's depression.
"Well I guess the only way to convince him is talk to him"
"yeah right doc, once he sees my face I'll be blasted to another country or something"
"Well Akane can help"
Akane's face lit up as she heard her name from Dr. Tofu, wondering what they're talking about.
Ranma have to say no to this, he couldn't let Ryoga near Akane. Letting the lost boy think Akane's worried about him or Akane might say something that may upset Ryoga...Or maybe it's just Ranma's jelouse because Akane was THAT close to Ryoga and suddenly she would care and pity the lost boy...huh? WHAT am I thinking all of a sudden!?
"So if Akane can't help, then I guess this would only be settled on a man-to-man fight again"
"All right now we're talkin"
"Of course not with your Mökö Takabisha, you won't stand a chance with your huge pride"
"eh, what's that suppose ta mean?"
"obviously Ranma thinking positive won't stand a chance, there are times fear can manipulate your thoughts. When you saw Ryoga's huge ki blast your brain's system reacted at the sight of the blast, thus you were frightened and made a small blast of Mökö Takabisha"
Wuz that the reason why I blasted a small ki blast? Wuz I frightened by Ryoga's attack? Wuz the sight of his energy that drained my happy thoughts? I have no idea how overcome his power.
Problems overcome Ranma's mind as he figures out how to defeat Ryoga. Then again it's all a failure. He did thought of a way to defeat him but at this point, it seems hopeless. How could he ever solve this problem?
Dr. Tofu pulled out a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Ranma, its sort of map with a name Goku on it
"Here take this. After I came across the miner I also met a farmer, I didn't catch his full name or where exactly he lives but he did mention he lives near the western mountains of Japan and owns a radish farm. He taught me a few things during my journey , he even told me about his life. He's a kind and generous man, but once you get on to his bad side he can be dangerous. Highly dangerous. I sense a strong battle aura in him but he wasn't showing that much, he seems so happy always. Anyway Goku might help you defeat Ryoga's Shin Shishi Hōkōdan"
Suddenly his problems were sold...instantly.
" no way, ya think a farmer can beat the hell out f Ryoga's Shishi Hōkōdan? All right! Geez thanks, no wonder ya have a lot of radish in there"
"oh, so you've notice. Speaking of radish"
As Dr. Tofu reached out to Ranma a plastic full of radish, unfortunately the doc started to fog up his glasses as he shredded one radish with his bare hands.
"Can you give these radish to Kasumi"
