-…- coughing, hacking, making a certain sound
"…" speaking out loud
'…' thinking
Ranma-chan Ranma girl (I don't like Ranma having the curse so don't expect it to be around long)
Disclaimer: I don't need a disclaimer. I own this 100 percent! HAHAHA! (sigh) If I did then everything in Ranma will change. I don't do this for profit or gain but I do it for fan appreciation. So that means I don't own it. So bug off you lazy ass lawyers.
The day began as any other. Ranma getting bashed left and right the battles so intense craters and collateral damage appeared where ever you go. But this day went down another path. One that will change Ranma's perspective of others and reality itself.
"WAKE UP RANMA! TIME FOR SCHOOL!" Akane yells at Ranma while dumping cold water on him changing him to a girl.
"ARG!" –cough—cough—hack—hack- "What are you trying to do to me you uncute tomboy!" Ranma-chan shouted at the top of her lungs.
Akane being who she is got mad at Ranma's comment and somehow got her mallet and bashed Ranma through the window. Genma which slept next to his son did not even wake to the extremely loud noises. Ranma sails through the air wonder how his life is. Nothing ever went right for him. The fiancés, battles, and the craziness that happens all around him, and frankly Ranma is getting tired of all the messes he had been in. Sometimes he just wonders on the top of the Tendo's roof gazing at the stars. Wondering if he should just give in to their ways, but it never happened. Ranma Saotome never gave up.
Ranma sighs in the Akane Airlines that he is currently flying through. If he could only have another life that was way better than this one, but he would like to keep his martial arts. That was the only thing he wasn't willing to give up. As for the curse…screw it! He never wanted it in the first place. The curse only caused him more trouble than its worth. The marriages, death threats, and constant battles had finally gotten into his head. He just wishes he'd disappeared and never come back here again and no one EVER finds him.
"But it is impossible. I'm never that lucky." Ranma says with a tired tone. Looking down he saw he was heading to some lake. Ranma sighs again once more. Preparing for the landing Ranma flips in midair and repositions himself for a safe landing. As he nears the lake Ranma says one more thing before he splashed into the lake.
"It is impossible but I'd wish I had another life." Ranma said with a sad smile on his face.
Suddenly something weird happened. The lake sparkled a bit before it went into a dazzling white light. Ranma puts his arm before his eyes to block out the light and given enough space to see what was happening.
"It is done." A soft echoing of a girl's voice said.
"What?" Ranma managed to squeak out before the blinding light engulfed him.
Elsewhere in a world fighting for their lives
"Code RED! CODE RED! Our sector is being infected! We can not hold our stations any longer! I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!" A man over the speakers shouted in a frantic way.
All around the people runs around find shelter or getting into a mobile suit.
"If you are not going into shelters please find an mobile suit and help fight the attacks." An automated voice in the speakers spoke.
The men on the field waved good-bye to their families before they went into the mobile suits. A man stayed behind and watched the sky. Near by him stood a great giant mobile suit. The mobile suit's head has a helm which looked like a dragon. The dragon's head color was a deep red, so red it looked like dark black blood. The face of the mobile suit in the dragon's opened mouth. The face within can not be described by words alone. There is no face. The 'face' is shaped like a part of a knight's helm even the visor was there. Around the mouth guard arcaneic runes are etched upon it. The body of the mobile suit was shaped like and armor for a knight also, but the color of the armor was pure black. So black that light cannot be reflected off. There is something that caught anyone's eyes looking at it, a red octangular crystal over the heart area. It seemed like the red crystal was beating like a heart. Attached to the armor is a cape made of a special material called blood silk. The blood silk got its name from the color of the material. But what made it the most wanted item in the universe is because of what it can do. With a spun blood silk the material or cloth made from it becomes flexible as paper but tougher and stronger than the strongest iron, steel, and titanium alloys ever created. The blood silk has another feature that most people did not know of. Only the man standing next to it will ever know. Finally the legs, to match the color of the armor it was also black. The leg guards spiked up at the knee so that it would give protection to the knee area if ever blasted. The foot of the mobile suit is pointed at the end. Near-by the foot of the mobile suit was the man. Still staring into the sky with forlorn hope within his eyes. (the mobile suit looks like Escaflowne or somewhat close to it…)
Up in the red blood skies horrific monsters covered the sky. There were called Giseisha.
Somewhere
In a grassy plain a sudden burst of light came down from the heavens. A little kid looks up into the sky as the bright white light appeared. The bright light appears out of nowhere, so it scared the shit out of the kid. A person from the sky dropped on to the ground unconscious. Having startling the boy, the boy walks up to the person that dropped from the sky and poked him in the ribs with a stick he found near the body. Seeing blood pouring down a wound on the stranger's head, the kid panicked and started dragging the stranger back into his house.
In the kid's house
Ranma starts to regain consciousness, but didn't move while he was on the bed.
"Mom do you think we can let him stay here until he recovers?" A voice in a far off distance said.
Ranma wonder who this might be stayed quite and listened in their conversation.
"I don't know Rei. We have to ask him after he wakes up. Now let him have his rest and play outside." Rei's mom spoke quietly to Rei.
"Awww…mom!" Rei moaned.
"Now, now. Don't whine Rei. If you behave nicely this evening I'll make you some apple pie." Rei's mom said with patience.
"YEAH! APPLE PIE!" Rei shouted with glee. (AN: I like apple pie.)
Rei quickly laughed and ran out the house making swooshing noises. Rei's mom quietly looks out the window and stares at Rei for a time. Ranma still pretending to be unconscious is getting impatient with the mom. But he dared not spoke or they will sense his presence and just might kick him out of the house. Even if they had seem nice, after they see him change to a girl it will freak them out. Ranma sighing unconsciously accidentally made it hearable.
Rei's mom did not look surprised and spoke to him with her back to him.
"What do you want from us? I sense that you're quiet strong with that aura of yours." Rei's mom spoke softly.
Ranma shocked at how someone who didn't even know martial arts by the look of her build knows something about auras. Ranma quickly gets up and looks around and then stares at the back of her head.
"I want nothing but a place to stay. I think I have lost my way home. I don't even now what had happened to me before I blacked out." Ranma answered seriously.
Rei's mom continues to look outside, not saying a word. Ranma being as an ill-manner child knew not to speak or interrupt at this moment. Finally Rei's mom spoke as she continued to stare outside the window.
"It is okay for you to stay as long as you don't harm my son Rei." Rei's mom said with a steely hint laced in her words.
Ranma being a martial artist that he is did not object. And agreed to her terms.
"That is a deal Miss…" Ranma paused waiting for her to respond.
"Enna, Rena Enna, pleased to meet you Mister…" Rena paused.
"Saotome, Ranma Saotome master of the school of Anything Goes." Ranma declared for himself, striking into a pose.
Rena chuckled bit at Ranma pose as he finished his sentence.
"What? What is so funny?" Ranma asked blankly not knowing she was laughing at he.
Rena shakes her head and say never mind. Ranma not following what's going on shrugged and dismissed it.
"Why don't you play with my son? He never has any friends over. He might be happy to have someone to play with him." Rena said as she shooed Ranma away.
"Sure! Why not? He looks like a fun kid." Ranma said to himself out loud.
Walking out Ranma shouted Rei to come over to him. As soon as Rei heard him Rei rushed over to Ranma and tried to tackle him. Ranma dodged gracefully and picked Rei up by his shirt. Ranma having a big smile on his face as he lifted Rei so they could see eye to eye. Rei just pouted and then laughed as Ranma playfully ruffled his already messy hair.
As Rena looked out the small window in the kitchen seeing Ranma having fun with Rei it brought a smile over her delicate face.
Unknown to Ranma and Rei the Giseisha is nearly in range of the colony that Rei and Ranma currently is in.
