took the time to write this down.-_-

Scene: The moon is seen from space as it passes the earth. Then the picture

closes up to the planet to become a solid sphere held by an ancient statue

outside an excavation site. A mechanical pulley is seen lowering down a man as

he fires his flame thrower into the undisturbed pit, killing the scorpions on

the floor. As his feet touch the ground,he approaches an ancient hexagonal

stone casket with pictures on it. "Ah just like I expected! These paintings

are exactly like the ones on Rhodos Island! It's here! It must be here!" He

opens the ancient container as light shines upon the golden object it has not

touched in centuries. "Ah! Found at last! The armor of Mars!" e gazes upon

the ancient gauntlet in awe as it shimmers. The scene shifts to outside the

site in Alexandria, Egypt. The crew begins it's hard work after the explorer

signals his foreman to bring him up.

"Ok,I understand!" he responds through a walktie talkie. He then turns to the

crane operator."That was Mr. Kumon. He said to bring it up right away." the

spotter yelled. The man shook his head in understandance.

"You betcha!" giving the thumbs up,he activates the massive machine."Took him

long enough, maybe now I'll be able to kick back and enjoy the good life." he

states and gets comfortable. Suddenly a tall dark shadow clouds him and shocks

him. "You're not allowed in!" he stammers as the gigantic man approached him

with muscles as larges as cannonballs and fiery red hair that matched his

emotionless eyes. He easily punches through the protective glass and with a

splatter of blood, the operator is dead.

"You're dead!"The foreman unsheathes his gun and with the pull of the trigger

fired a single bullet at the direction of this stranger only to be out of

breath when the man catches the bullet only less than an inch away from his

face and with the flick of his wrist,sends it back at him to kill him

instantly,planting the bullet between his eyes. Suddenly more workers came

out."Hey! What the hell are you doing?" Then the muscular figure gazed at

them and with a single motion, slammed his fist onto the rocky ground creating

a fiery wave that engulfed the entire site.

"Why do I even pay them? Must I do everything myself?" the young archeologist

questioned as he climbed the ladder above ground. "You think they could at

least...huh?" He then stared up at the fiery ashes that was formerly his

excavation site. Then the figure looked up at the young Ryuu Kumon with a grin

of pure delightment. Kumon ran in fear, carrying the cloth which was wrapped

around the ancient artifact. Then with a flash not seen, a splash of water

appeasred and a beautiful woman stood in Kumon's path emerging out of the water

with a smile. Her striking blue hair and red outfit made her stand out as a

true beauty. "Wha!" He exclaimed as he backed away. Then he drastically dived

out of the way of a barrage of damaging water needle as they pierced a nearby

crate and obliterated it to shrapnel. Kumon continued to run from the

inevitable as he hopped into his jeep and started then engine. "Those bastards

will have to kill me first!" He announced as he pulled the parking break. Then

a figure caught his attention from the corner of his eye. It stood atop a

pillar of ruins as a man wearing an ornate mask. The man leaped from his perch

as Kumon slammed his foot onto the pedal and with two quick swipes, the entire

top of the vehicle was taken off. He then stood among his comrades as they

watched him drive away to his death. "Dig up your own treasure you stinkin..."

he then turned his head and saw another young man dressed in exquisite armor in

the middle of the road. His lavender hair shone in contrast to his one blue

and one hazel colored eyes and stared at the oncomer. "Out of my way!" Kumon

shouted as he stomped his foot harder and drove faster with the attempt to run

the young man over. The man raised his arm in which in his palm was a piece of

his radiating armor. From that came a single shot which caused an explosion of

massive proportions. Kumon is then seen dragging himself out of the wreckage

grasping the artifact. "Nnggghhh! Who are you?" The stranger looked down upon

him.

"You have something which is mine. Please return it." he simply stated. Kumon

then stood up with his last bit of energy and flared a slight aura.

"Fat chance! Kijin Rashu Da.." he began but was abruptly stopped with a fist

into his gut leaving an unconscious form to slump onto the ground. The man's

followers then arrived and bowed down to him on a single knee with the woman

placing with historical plate of armor onto his leg. It then magically

reformed and melded to fit the owner into a new shape. He then examined his

armor with delight.

"Three pieces of armor found, three pieces to go."He then smirked and leaped

high into the ground quickly concentrating his energy into a massive ball and

hurled it at a nearby field, totally obliterating it. The followers looked on

with amazement of his power and the woman spoke.

"I can't get over it! Lord Laocorn gets more magnificent with each piece."

Then the man named Laocorn is now seen atop a small slope of rock with the sun

setting behind him.

"The armor of Mars will be mine and when I possess it all, I will become a

god!" He laughed maniacally as a flash of thunder is seen and the scene shifts

to a dark cloudy night. A young boy is walking home from school with thoughts

running in his mind that he doesn't notice the first flash. His red chinese

shirt and black pants can make it obvious to everyone around him who it was.

The clapping of his slippers could be heard as it was placed down onto the

pavement. Finally another flash of thunder occurs and the boy stops and turns

his head to look up at the storm clouds. His pigtail flickers with the sudden

movement as Ranma Saotome stares up at another stormy day.

"Here we go again..."
