Legal Note:
I don't own the Ranma. I don't even own this computer. I could never take that responsibility.This story was actually made for my Akazu series, but I figured it could double for a Ranma one as well so here it is.
**************************************************************************************************
"Try again Ranma." A bald man in gi sat across from the pigtailed boy with his arm crossed.
"I don't understand this technique pops." Ranma said wiping sweat from his brow as he sat on the dojo floor.
"This is a great Saotome attack passed down many generations." The old man said.
"Is this one useless like all the other ones you tried teaching me?" The boy asked as if all the things his father taught were pointless.
"Of course not boy! This is the Aphrodite's Kiss! The perfect attack if you can use it right."
"What's so great about it?"
"The Aphrodite's Kiss is powered by the aura of one's heart. The aura can be channeled to your fist to use as an attack. There are four types of the attack."
"What are they?"
"When you like the person you use it against it will be yellow and it can heal them. If you hate that person it will glow red and they will be damaged. If it glows pink it means you love that person and it will cause the other to see that."
"That was three. You said four types."
"The fourth isn't important and if you were to use it no one could stop you."
"Then isn't that the strongest form?" Ranma rolled his eyes.
"Not quite my son for that form is evil and to use it you'd be evil."
"Fine. I'll learn this move then."
The girl with short raven hair, Ranma's fiancée Akane. She made her way for home with bags of groceries in hand. She had been said that she was going to try cooking dinner again that night. She never got dinner right. As she turned the corner she found the street to be a bit torn. In a heap was a boy with a bandana totally knocked out. It was Ryoga the eternal lost boy who has no sense of direction.
"Ryoga!" Akane ran to his side placing her bags down.
"Ugh. Akane?" Ryoga came about.
"What happened Ryoga?"
"This old man, he stole my battle aura. He's after Ranma…" Ryoga slurred passing out as Akane sprung up.
"Oh, can I help you?" The eldest Tendo daughter, Kasumi, meets an older man a bit shorter than herself at the walk.
"Is this where Saotome Ranma is?" The older man carried some odd things on him. A yellow rope, a small vase, nunchucks, and a staff in hand.
"Uh-huh. Are you his friend?"
"Uh, sure thing." The old man answered smirking.
Akane comes through the back dragging Ryoga as Ranma comes out.
"Akane what are you doing?" Ranma asked placing his towel around his back.
"I found Ryoga all beaten up. He said the person who did this is after you too." Akane let go of Ryoga coming closer to Ranma.
"Really? I can't wait until this guy does show up."
"He plays dirty Ranma." Ryoga sat up rubbing his head.
"He does? How so P-Chan?"
"Don't call me that!" Ryoga hits Ranma over the head. "Now listen up. I'll tell you exactly how it happened. I was on my way to meet Akari, but obviously I was lost. Anyway…
Ryoga comes down a street reading a letter when the same old man that came to Kasumi a few moments ago crosses his path.
"Do you know where Saotome Ranma is boy? I know you know the boy, because you are the second best martial artist Hibiki Ryoga correct?" The old man gave a smirk, but his face is shadowed.
"Second best?! Saotome is weak. I am the best for your information old man." Ryoga stood thumb pointing to himself with angry eyes focused on the man.
"Is that so? My name is Ryona and not old man. I'll teach you respect!" He points the staff at Ryoga who suddenly finds himself on the ground.
"Ugh. How did-" Ryoga stood dusting away the dirt on his clothes. "There's something special about that staff."
"You're smart. All my weapons have mystical powers to them. This is how I fight."
"What did you do to me?" Ryoga clenched his fists giving a tight grin.
"My staff here can freeze a person's chi, and thus the enemy themselves. My vase here can steal away almost all of a person's chi, and this rope can bind a person by itself. My nunchucks can produce a small-contained tornado on my foes." Ryona placed his staff aside taking his vase in hand.
Ryoga spots a glimmer on Ryona's back to see a small bottle. "What is the bottle for old man?"
"Something horrible. Never speak of it. Now then, so long." Ryona smiled taking the cover from the top of the vase as Ryoga stares into the dark hole a gust of wind sucks his chi away from him as he collapses to the ground. "Where is Ranma?"
Ryona walks away as Ryoga tries to stand, but he falls to the ground.
"That old man did all of that? Now that I know what his weapons do though he is no challenge. I wait for his arrival." Ranma said almost laughing full of himself.
"Is that so?" The three teens turn to the old man Ryona and Kasumi.
"He said he was a friend of yours Ranma." The eldest daughter said walking back inside leaving the other four in the backyard.
"You scoundrel Saotome! We had a battle today!" The kendoist Kuno Tatewaki came flying into the backyard.
"Shut up boy!" Ryona hits Kuno over the head knocking him unconscious.
"Ranma we will fight for Shampoo!" The nearly blind Mousse came from above landing by Ranma.
"Hold it! I will fight Ranma first." Ryona exclaimed above the others.
"I will fight you before all others old man." Ranma said believing he will win for sure.
"Hold it old man. I will fight you once more." Ryoga stood in front of Ranma.
"I told you before not to call me old man. I am Ryona."
"Whatever. We fight!" Ryoga charges at the old man who throws his rope that wraps Ryoga up as he falls face first into the ground. "Damnit! I can't get out of this rope!"
"There is no way you will be free anytime soon Hibiki. That is no ordinary rope." Ryona turned back to Ranma.
"Hold it. Only I can fight Ranma, and I will make sure of that." Mousse moves for Ryona who takes out his nunchucks blowing Mousse away in a twister.
"There he goes." Akane said watching Mousse fly far across town.
"Okay old man. Now us two." Ranma said pointing to Ryona.
"I will have to teach you some manners as well." Ryona grabs his staff ready to fight.
"Ranma be careful. He beat Ryoga and Mousse so easily." Akane said with worried eyes.
"Technically I wasn't beaten." Ryoga said from the side to which they all yell shut up.
"Don't worry Akane. I'll win." Ranma gave her a smile turning to Ryona.
Ranma runs at Ryona who tries his nunchucks again. Ranma jumps to the air clear over the wind attack. He lands kicking Ryona to the ground.
"You can't beat me with cheap tricks old man." Ranma said with a smile as Ryona stands rubbing his jaw.
Ryona points his staff at Ranma who is stopped from moving as Ryona punches his chest six times before kicking him to the ground. Ranma jumps back to his feet.
"I won't fall for that one twice." Ranma said with intense eyes.
"No, you're done for." Ryona points his staff once more, but Ranma has already moved to the air as he lands kicking the staff from Ryona's hands.
"You old fool!" Ranma hits Ryona multiple times before the old man falls to the ground.
Ryona rose in anger taking the cover from his vase that he had in his left hand now. Ranma snatches up a rock from the ground throwing it into the vase's opening. The rock comes through the other side, thus breaking the vase.
"Ayah! You broke the vase! I'll have to use the nunchucks then." He goes to pull out his nunchucks as Ranma tackles Ryona to the ground breaking the bottle on his back.
"I win." Ranma stood with a smug look.
"You fool. You broke the bottle." Ryona stood up in anger.
"So what old man?" Ranma wasn't really paying any attention looking away.
"That bottle held the demon Odasha within it. He is a powerful demon who takes another's body in order to fight. Now he is free to posses anyone and take us both down." Ranma decks the old man sending him into unconsciousness.
"The demon can't take one who is strong or those unconscious so we're safe. Wait, Kuno's knocked out, and so was Mousse, and Ryoga's strong. I'm too strong, but Akane was here too." Ranma turns to the house only to be hit to the ground.
"Fool." Ranma heard a voice, but he couldn't see the person. They sounded familiar, but it wasn't at the same time. Ranma tried standing, but fell to the ground in defeat.
