Burning Ember
Author's Notes: Okay, I know this isn't the first cross of this type but it is rare as I have only seen one other. In fact the plot of this is partly based from that story, which I assume is dead, but I can't remember what it is called and can't find it so if anyone knows what it is called and who wrote it please let me know so I can credit it. Since this may be a multi cross I will be posting it under Ranma which is the main series.
Disclaimer: I don't own Jem or Ranma or and of the few other series which will be added later so please don't sue me. The only thing you will probably get from doing it would only be a crappy computer, a few sheets of paper and a dried up pen.
Now The Story:
"Are you sure about this old friend?" Soun asked, his voice carrying the worry he was starting to feel for the young boy turned girl who was out all alone by herself. At first the Tendo patriarch was all for the plan since he knew the documents that they gave Ranma were fake but the redhead didn't know. It was just supposed to be motivation to get Akane and Ranma closer but the two teens pride was just too big for it to work.
"Soun buddy, don't worry." Genma said smiling at his friend across the shogi board. "The kettle was supposedly destroyed but according to what Cologne said the lock would have been released if it was. The brat from China doesn't know that but Ranma is sure to go look for the kettle again now that we pushed her in the right direction."
"Maybe we should have just came out and told the boy about the kettle, we could have went and help find it." Soun said, his worry growing so much he didn't even notice Genma cheating again. He was beginning to realize how stupid this plan may be and was wishing that he didn't agree to it so easily.
"Are you crazy? Do you know how much rubble is probably covering that piece of scrap?" Genma said while shaking his head in disbelief. The laziness was just pouring off the man, a panda image could almost be seen in place of the large martial artist. Not for the first time Soun found himself wondering if his friend wasn't really replaced by the lazy panda the man was cursed to become.
"I think I need some fresh air." Soun said with a long drawn out sigh. He was tired, of all the drama going on around him and sadly he was starting to tire of his one time friend. Was he really doing the right thing?
...LA LÍNEA ROTURA...
Ranma couldn't believe what was happening to herself, not only did she lose against Herb which cost her her manhood now she lost her name. True it wasn't much but it was the thing in her life she was most proud of. The Saotome name was the name of her art and without her name she no longer had a right to practice the art that she worked so hard to perfect. How could her father kick her out of the clan?
The sun was starting to set and Ranma had no idea what she was going to do as she was kicked out of the dojo until she fixed her problem but there was no way to. How was she supposed to reverse the lock on her curse when the only way to do so was destroyed with the remains being buried under a ton of rock.
"Airen!" An annoying bubbly voice cried as two arms belonging to a busty Amazon wrapped around her. "When you get back from mountain? You beat stupid Musk now get to take Shampoo out on date! Shampoo is too too excited."
Ranma tried to push the over zealous girl off but as usual it seemed pointless as there was no way without touching the girl in certain places. If Ranma tried too hard it would look like she was groping the girl and leading her on which Ranma didn't want. If she didn't try then it would look like Ranma was being perverted which could lead to serious repercussions.
"I come out here looking for you worried and see messing around with that bimbo!" A cold voice snapped from behind Ranma shocking the redhead. Speaking of repercussions...
"A-Akane..." Ranma started in an attempt to try and explain herself.
"Save it you PERVERT!" Akane screamed as she summoned her mallet and malleted the redhead high into the sky upon the word pervert. In a way the redhead was happy to be away from the Chinese Amazon but she didn't need the attack from the blunt instrument of the tomboy.
Angling herself at the peak of her flight she noticed where she was going to land, a large fountain right next to three strange looking women with wild looking hair and makeup. It was too late to try and change her course and with nothing near her path to help alter her trajectory one of the women could be hurt.
"LOOK OUT!" Ranma screamed as she was coming down, A large splash and pain coursing through her body, especially her head was driving her close to darkness. Looking up at he shocked looking women she could se disbelief on all their faces and worry in the eyes of the blue haired woman. Seeing that they were okay Ranma sighed in relief letting her consciousness fade.
...LA LÍNEA ROTURA...
Stormer couldn't believe their luck, they were in Japan for a concert which was funded by her friend's father. They were growing in popularity but without an actual studio backing them they couldn't truly be successful. Now they had a big chance as Pizzazz had announced earlier that an Eric Raymond had contacted her about a contract which they were getting ready to go back to the States to check out the contract.
"LOOK OUT!" A scream from above cried shocking the trio to see a small, busty redhead slam into the fountain head first breaking the marble it was made out of. It looked painful as Stormer looked on in horror as a pair of pained blue eyes looked up at her just before falling into the water.
"What the hell?" Roxy asked, her voice surprised with a little anger to it.
Stormer hurried over to hold the unconscious girl's head above water without moving her too much.
"Where did she come from?" Pizzazz asked overcoming her shock but none of them had an answer, least of all Stormer.
"Call an ambulance." Stormer cried out, tears starting to form in her eyes. She was a little worried that the others seemed a little nonplused but chalked it up to the tough act she knew they kept up. They were the Misfits after all and nothing fazed them.
"On it." Pizzazz said whipping out her cell phone and dialing the emergency number.
Stormer ignored the hushed and hurried conversation as she looked around and saw people milling about not even bothering to try and help. It was almost as if this was an everyday event and it was bothering the blue haired rocker. How could a young girl being hurt so bad be totally ignored by the public?
"They're sending an ambulance girls." Pizzazz said snapping her phone closed.
"What do you think happened?" Stormer asked looking down at the girl she was supporting.
"I have no idea but they said not to move her anymore than necessary." Pizzazz said walking over to sit on the stone surface of the fountain to put a hand on Stormer's shoulder. The three girls may have been somewhat cruel to others but it was because they knew that if they weren't then people would be cruel to them. They could only truly rely on each other as they were in a sense sisters, their bonds going deeper than many sisters who were related by blood. It was why despite the way Stormer didn't really agree with some of the things the group have done she stuck with it.
"Is she going to be okay?" Roxy asked as a little worry crept into her voice. Stormer knew that Roxy was the hardest of the group but not even the white haired woman could ignore this...this train wreck right in front of their eyes.
"Here they come." Pizzazz sighed with relief when the whine of the sirens drew close and flashes of light could be seen coming up the road toward the girls.
"Hold on kiddo." Stormer whispered wiping the teenaged girl's red bangs out of her eyes.
"We will take it from here." A woman wearing a medical uniform said in Japanese. Pizzazz and Stormer herself understood it easily as Stormer was taught it growing up as she had roots in the Japanese culture while Pizzazz had to learn several languages thanks to her father's constant business trips that she was taken on. Sadly Roxy herself didn't know much Japanese besides the lyrics she had to learn to sing here.
Stormer sighed as two men joined the woman to gently but hurriedly extracted the small girl from the fountain. It was a frantic deal for all involved but when the woman announced that all of the girl's vitals were normal Stormer couldn't help feel relieved.
"If she's going to be okay then there's no reason to stick around." Pizzazz said, relief evident in her voice as well though it was obvious she was trying to hide it.
"I'm going with her." Stormer said running to the medical group as they were loading the girl into the ambulance.
"I'm sorry miss but only family is allowed to ride with her in the ambulance." The woman said in Japanese blocking Stormer from following the men as the finally got the stretcher loaded in the back of their emergency vehicle.
"She's my little sister." Stormer said as it was the first thing that came to mind. The woman looked skeptical but she was able to see the worry in the rocker's eyes and finally nodded helping Stormer into the back of the ambulance.
"We don't have time for this!" Roxy called before the doors was closed.
"I'm sorry girls I have to make sure she's okay!" Stormer called as the doors were closed cutting off communication between the girls. She truly hated doing this to them but after seeing what happened Stormer couldn't not go with the redhead, she would never be able to forgive herself if she didn't make sure the kid was okay.
