A Nautilus Production.
By Capt. Nemo
Hey everyone long time no update. I'm going to have a lot more free time coming up so I'm going to try to update once a month or every other month.
This story came out a few years ago and was removed due to its lack of reviews and that I wasn't good at writing. Now that has changed and my writing has improved
Well as I always say:
On with the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of this except for the original characters.
Rainbow Six
The Start
"Hey Mr. C, I hear that we're getting another team member tomorrow?" Domingo Chavez asked as he stepped into Clark's office. Chavez was from the ghetto of Las Angles. He was short and had a tanned complection. After seeing a member of his gang shot down just for walking down the wrong street, he joined the army the next day. He had joined the army with out going to high school, and when his commanding officer saw him trying to improve by takeing notes. He was put in the armies version of high school. After graduating he had gone on to become one of the army's premire scouts. After awhile he was chosen for a mission in Columbia. In that mission, he had seen what war is like. He had seen his friends cut down when it all went wrong. Remembering the helicopter extraction that had been one of the scariest moments of his life. He also remebered the one side gunner who didn't look like he had belonged there, that man had later gone on to be the President.
After taking out the man that they where after, Clark had taken Chavez aside and offered him a job working for the CIA. After going to work for the CIA he had gone on to earn his BA from George Mason University. During that time, He and Clark had participated in and pulled off some of the greatest missions in the history of the CIA. They had even been in office of the chairman of the KGB. They wherer legands in the community of intelliagance.
"You heard right Ding. This one's from Japan. Name's Ranma Saotome, some kind of martial arts expert. They say he's the best they've got when it comes to stealth and assault. I even heard that he can create a tornado with his hands. The odd thing though is that there were to photos that came with One is of a man the others a woman." said Clark. John Clark was a big man who had the look of a man who had been around the block a few times. A former navy SEAL, he had served in Vietnam for several tours. During that time he had earned the call sign Snake. He became known as a enemy to be feared and respected by the Viet Cong. He had gone to work for the CIA when he was asked to participate in a mission to reascue downed pilots who would have other wise been lost forever. Even though the mission had been a failiur, he had brought out a Russian officer with him. This caused Russia to put pressure on Vietnam to let it be known that these men where still alive.
"Your right, that is odd." Chavez said looking at the pictures. "Is hair that color even possible?" Chavez asked after seeing the hair color on the woman. "Well anyway, when does he, or she, arrive?"
"He's suppose to get in tomorrow and his wife will follow next week. I'll make sure that someone picks him up at the airport." Clark said. After that they got back to normal business.
The Next Day.
It was raining when Ranma got off the plane at Heathrow.
"Stupid rain" he muttered. It always seemed to be raining when he arrived somewhere. He was glad that he had brought along raingear in his carry on. Even though he had gotten used to his curse, he still didn't like the rain. He did like it when the rain had passed. How everthing thing seemed to be cleaner.
Ranma Saotome was 26 and looked like he hadn't aged a day since he was 17. He still had his hair in a pigtail. He was wearing a Japanese army uniform and was carrying a small bag. He then went down to baggage claim to get his big duffel and then caught a taxi.
Ranma had joined the army about a year after the failed wedding. He didn't know where else to go. After becoming the master of the Anything goes style, he had no where to go. So he joined the army. After going through basic, he was sent almost strait in to a speacial unit. The unit had been made up of martial artists of increadible power. Ranma had quickly become known as a strongest. After about nine years he had reached the rank of sargent. Around that time he had been told that he had been selected to be part of a speacial mission that would last several years and that he would be stationed in England. He had been ready to accepet to the mission when he heard that it involved going to England. He and his wife had always wanted to go there and now they had a chance to live there. When she had heard of the new assignment she had been excitited and started to pack that day.
30 Minutes Later.
The taxi pulled into Hereford, the home of the SAS and Rainbow. Looking out the window and saw several brick buildings and a gaurd shack at the main gate. The gaurd waved the taxi to a stop.
"I'm sorry sir, but you'll have to walk from here. Security you see." said the gaurd. He was wearing full combat gear and had the look of a soldier that had not seen combat. He looked like that he was just out of basic training, though he did have a look of confidance. The man who was in the gaurd shack looked Ranma in the eyes and Ranma looked back. They could tell that each had done things that they where not proud of, but they had done anyway.
"Ok, I can walk from hear" Ranma said as got out and paid the driver. "I think I'm suppose to give you these?" Ranma asked handing the guard some papers.
"Okay sir, all your papers seem to be in order. Your to head over to those buildings over there sir." The guard said pointing to some simple brick buildings.
"Thank you very much." Ranma said with a light bow and headed in that direction. He was almost there when it started to rain.
Clark's Office
"Ranma Saotome reporting as ordered, Sir" Ranma-chan said saluting.
"Have a seat ma'am." Clark said waving to a chair across from his desk. "First of all welcome to Rainbow. I hope you know what we do here." Clark asked
"I've read the folder sir." Ranma-chan replied.
"After reading over your folder, I have some questions. First off, is that your natural hair color?" Clark asked. He had been wondering about it from the moment she had walked in his office.
"Yes sir, its natural. Its part of my curse." Ranma-chan stated. She had started fiddling with her pig tail.
"Curse? Your folder didn't say anything about a curse." said Clark. Now he was truly confused. He had never truly believed in cruses and what not.
"Yes sir. I'm cursed." Ranma-chan said, then she explained. "When I am splashed with cold water I change into what you see know. I have to addmit that after a few years it becomes natural to you. Hot water changes me back, but the problem is clothes, but I had that fixed."
"Oh? How did you get that fixed." Clarck asked.
"I learned to sew and how to make them change when I change." Ranma-chan explained.
"Okay, what is this curse then." Clark asked. He didn't under stand how someone could live with a curse, much less have one.
"Well, Its easier if I can get a glass of hot water because as I said, my cruse is triggered by water." Said Ranma.
"Would tea work?" Clark asked not knowing what to think.
"Yes sir, as long as anything has a small amount of water in it, it triggers the curse."
"Carol, can you bring in some tea please?" Clark asked his secratery over the phone.
"Coming right up sir." Carol responded
"All right then, tell me a little about your self." Said Clark. He was interested about Ranma's history. Ranma started telling him about his life and the training trip, leaving out certin parts that he didn't want Clark to know about. After about five minutes Carol came in carring a tray with tea.
"Here you gooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh." Carol yelled as she tripped over the carpet coming into the office.
Ranma turned around when he heard Carol yell as she tripped. He then saw the tea cups flying through the air right for him. He watch them come right at him with wonder. 'How does this happen every time? Water, hot or cold, just seems to find me.' he thought. He then felt the hot tea hit him. He then felt his uniform expand around him, fitting him a little bit better.
Clark just watched as the young women in front of him chang in to a young man. "What the..." was all that Clark could say.
"I'm Ranma Saotome. Sorry about this."
