Ranma 1/2 is a trademark of Rumiko Takahashi and VIZ Communications, and its characters have been borrowed without permission. This story was written for non-commercial purposes only. I also don't own the Evil dead or it's awsome catch phrases.
Legend has it, it was written by the dark ones. Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, roughly translated, book of the dead. The book served as a passageway to the evil worlds beyond. It was written long ago when the seas ran red with blood and it was this blood that was used to ink the book.
In the year 1300 A.D. the book disappeared
"How did I end up here?" asked a very unhappy pigtailed martial artist. He was currently sitting in the backseat of a car while two of his fiancés and his stalker fought over him. He also couldn't help but wonder why the incredibly nearsighted Mousse was driving.
Suddenly Ukyo grabbed onto his arm and said, "You remember, you wanted a break from the usual chaos in your life so you suggested we all go camping." Ukyo smiled evilly as Kodachi and Shampoo gave her dirty looks for grabbing onto Ranma.
Now it was all coming back.
"Hey Akane, how about we get out of town for a little while. I know this small cabin in the woods that would be a great place to relax and maybe get in some training", asked Ranma as he walked on the fence.
"Don't you have to work" asked Akane. It's not that she wasn't flattered Ranma asked her to go on vacation with him but with Ranma's new job, it seemed like he was almost never around.
"I have plenty of vacation days saved up and I'm pretty sure S-Mart will be glad to get rid of me for a few days," said Ranma. That's right, Ranma Saotome of the anything goes school now worked as a housewares employee at the local S-Mart. To make a long story short, Ranma owed Nabiki a lot of money so he had to get a job, and the usual chaos followed him.
Akane was about to respond when she suddenly heard the ringing of a very familiar bell, black rose petals started to fall from the sky, and the scent of okonomiyaki filled the air.
The next thing she knew, Ranma was in the arms of his other fiancés and his stalker.
"It's so kind of you to invite us Ranma honey," said Ukyo.
"Shampoo can't wait to be all alone in woods with Ranma," said Shampoo.
"I wouldn't dare leave you all alone in the woods with these harlots Ranma darling," said Kodachi.
As Ranma tried to get the girls off of him, Akane stormed off.
"I sure hope you enjoy your vacation with your tree cute fiancés Ranma." It really wasn't the way Ukyo, Shampoo, or Kodachi always clung to Ranma that pissed her off so much. It was the fact that even after the failed wedding and the events at phoenix mountain, Ranma had still done next to nothing to get rid of them.
"That still doesn't explain why Mousse is driving," said Ranma.
"I'm here to make sure you stay away from my Shampoo," said Mousse.
Shampoo quickly pulled Ranma out of Ukyo's grasp commenting, "He also only one who have drivers license."
They had been driving through the woods for over an hour and Ranma had a massive headache from the constant arguing. He also still felt really bad for leaving Akane behind. Nevertheless, she made it perfectly clear that she didn't want to go with him.
And now here they were, five martial artists on their way to an old abandoned cabin in the woods.
Ranma felt increasingly on edge as they crossed over a bridge that had been in dire need of repair. Luckily, they made it across and before he knew it, they had arrived at the cabin.
"Ranma honey, are you sure this isn't breaking and entering" asked Ukyo as they walked through the door.
"Pretty sure. This place was abandoned when I found it and it doesn't look like anyone's been here since" said Ranma.
The outside of the cabin looked extremely rundown and the inside didn't look much better. There was a layer of dust on everything from couch in the living room to the stuffed moose head on the wall. The kitchen while small had everything they needed for simple meals. Ranma soon spied out the kitchen window, what appeared to be a tool shed.
Shampoo and Kodachi soon walked in with Mousse carrying all their bags. Shampoo walked around and found the room with the queen sized bed.
"Shampoo and Ranma take this room", she shouted.
"I don't think so. Ranma will be sharing my chambers during our holiday," yelled Kodachi.
"Ranma, how dare you try to seduce my Shampoo?" shouted Mousse, throwing down the bags.
Ranma could already feel another headache coming so he went to the car and retrieved a cooler full of the only thing that could possibly save the trip. Beer.
As Ranma opend a bottle and sat down on the couch, kicking his shoes off, he simply said to everyone, "The ancient Greeks used to say an old phrase, carpe diem. Which today translates to Party Down which is what I'm about to do. You guys can either join me or shut up."
Ukyo was the first to grab a beer from the cooler, "What the hell, maybe I'll get along with Kodachi and Shampoo better when I'm drunk."
An hour later, they were all laughing as though they had always been the best of friends. Shampoo, Kodachi and Mousse were play cards on the table outside the kitchen while Ukyo and Ranma were exploring a basement they found in the living room.
Ukyo soon came out of the basement with Ranma following with a box in his arms.
"Look at all the cool stuff we found" called Ukyo
Ranma dropped the box on the table while listing its contents, "Creepy ancient dagger, an old tape player, and a creepy looking book."
Just the sight of the book was enough to break everyone's alcohol induced happiness.
"Ranma, is you sure you should be touching these things" asked Shampoo.
Mousse saw the worried look and tried comfort her by saying, "What's the worst that could happen." He looked over at the tape player and noticed that there was a tape already in it.
"Hey, let's listen to some music," said Mousse as he grabbed the tape player and hit play.
The player was silent for a minute before a voice suddenly spoke up, "this is Professor Tobimaro Ozuno, department of ancient history, log entry number two. I believe I've stumbled upon a significant find. Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, roughly translated, the book of the dead. The book is bound in human flesh and inked in blood. I brought the book to this cabin so I could study it undisturbed. It was here that I began translations. The book speaks of a spiritual presence that roams the forest in the darkness of mans domain. It is through the recitation of the passages that the spirit is given license to possess the living. Included here are the phonetic pronunciations of those passages, Cunda, Estrata, Montos, Egrets, Gots, Nosferatos….."
The group was so entranced by the man's voice that they didn't notice that Kodachi seemed to be having a panic attack. The next thing they knew, Kodachi was shouting "TURN IT OOOOOOOFFFFFFF"
Then a tree branch suddenly crashed through the window and Kodachi took off running into a bedroom.
As Ukyo went to check on her Ranma could almost swear he heard a voice in his head whispering, "Join us."
I was origanlly going to put off writing another fanfic for another month but I was inspired to begin earlier after watching the 2010 Scream Awards. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys reading this.
