Ranma 1/2: Black Waters

Part 2 : Makio

(Insert copyright information here)

It was a normal day at the Tendo household. Soun was reading the paper, Kasumi was preparing breakfast, Nabiki was admiring her latest batch of photos, Genma was being a lazy ass and Akane was practicing in the dojo. Yes, everything was normal.

Save for Ranma, who was suffering in a nightmare world while an evil monster used his body for god-knows-what.

Said evil monster was currently watching Kasumi, mentally undressing her.

Out of all the girls he knows, he mused, this one is the best. Mature, beautiful, great rack, lovely ass. Such a shame I'll have to kill her.

He moved towards the elder Tendo daughter. "Kasumi..."

She turned to Ranma. "What is it Ranma-san?"

"DIE!"

He unleashed an energy blast, red as blood, towards the young woman, but she dodged it like a pro.

Ranma smirked. "I knew you were skilled. Why do you pretend be such an idiot? You could have saved me a lot of trouble, ya know."

Kasumi returned the smirk. "I know that Ranma wouldn't like that. The real Ranma."

"You knew." He grinned. "That ruins the surprise. Well, just another reason why I can't let you live." He readied another energy blast, but Kasumi rushed towards his side and knocked him down. He growled.

"OK, now I'm annoyed."

He leapt at her again, his hands transformed into claws. He managed to cut her stomach, though it was only a shallow cut. nothing fatal.

"Grrr. Stand still!"

Kasumi then unleashed an energy attack...right in his face. He couldn't dodge, so he was flung back into the stove, knocking a boiling pot onto his head. He screamed in pain.

Kasumi was still on her guard. "What did you do to Ranma-kun? Who are you?"

The false Ranma stood up, and removed the pot on his head. "Don't worry, Saotome's quite safe. At least, he won't die any time soon." He grinned. "But he'll wish he would. He'll welcome the sweet release of death with open arms." He laughed.

"Where is he?"

The demon tapped his head. "In here. he is trapped in a little....dimension of my own divising. A place where he will suffer constantly, his fears and doubts made manifest."

"What are you?"

"I'm something far worse than you could possibly imagine." He smiled, a cold, cruel smile.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Elsewhere, Ranma suffered in the nightmare realm.

She could see everything that Makio could see, and she was powerless to stop it. Her spirits rose when she saw how good Kasumi was. But she could clearly see that the elder girl was outmatched.

It was also good to know that there was no nightmare version of Kasumi. That meant that Ranma didn't think anything bad of her.

Shame it couldn't be said for anyone else.

She was tied in full bondage gear. In front of her stood Akane. Or, at least, a cruel doppelganger.

"You know there's no hope. They'll all die, and you'll be blamed." The apparition laughed. "You'll be sent to prison, probably get the chair or something. A just fate for a monster like you."

"I'm not a monster!" Ranma argued.

Akane looked pissed, and struck Ranma. the nightmare being was using a bonbori. Like Shampoo's.

"You know i'm right. You're as human as that guy killing my sister. You're stronger than anyone else, and you enjoy inflicting pain. You're also a freak and a pervert. Always toying with people's hearts, enjoying the attention. You make me sick." She gave a disgusted look.

Ranma was getting really bruised. She was crying. "Please, no more. Make it stop."

"I think not, Ranma." A new voice said from behind her. "It's all your fault, after all."

Ranma screamed as she was pulled towards the ground. She turned to see Ryoga beind her. He was completely naked, just as she was.

Her eyes widened in fear and horror. "No. You can't..."

"I can, and I will." Ryoga sneered. "I know you like it."

"No I don't! I'm not some slut!" Before she could protest anymore, she was gagged.

"I don't like it when you talk. It's annoying."

He took her.

-----------------------------------------------------------

There was commotion coming from the kitchen. Akane didn't know what Ranma was doing with her sister, but it couldn't be good. She got up from the table where she was awaiting her meal, and walked into the kitchen.

It was awful.

The room was a mess. Holes adorned the walls, as well as scorch marks. Pots, pans and other utensils were strewn everywhere. But that wasn't what shocked her the most.

'No way. It's a nightmare. she thought. 'Not even Ranma..."

Ranma stood over a beaten kasumi. Blood was coming from the girl's mouth, and ranma had just ripped her blouse, revealing her bountiful chest.

Ranma sneered. "Your sister is quite a surprise. A good fighter, and a rack that almost matches my own."

Kasumi coughed. "Don't....listen, Akane.... he's not.....Ranma..." She coughed up some blood.

"Shut up!!!" The young man yelled, and struck her in the stomach. the young woman fell unconcious. He turned to the youngest Tendo. "Your turn, bitch!"

Akane was at first scared, but then got angry. "Ranma! I didn't think...that even you....." She got into her stance. "...Could stoop so low!!!" She ran at him. She lifted a fist. And...

He dodged.

He laughed. "Akane. Akane, Akane." He tutted. "Have you forgotten who you're facing? I beat Herb, Saffron, even that chimera guy." He got right in her face, literally. "What makes you think YOU could defeat me?"

Now she was scared. This was the first time Ranma dodged her attack, at least since they're first sparring match. How could Ranma play with her so, and why....

She remembered Kasumi's words.

"he's not...Ranma..." She muttered.

The man heard. "What's the difference?"

"Ranma would've let me hit him!" She exclaimed.

he smirked. "That's right, he would, wouldn't he?" he shrugged. "Oh, well. It makes no difference anyway. Very soon I'll kill you."

"What!?"

"Not just you. Kasumi (done!), Nabiki, Genma, Soun, Nodoka, Shampoo, Mousse, Cologne, Ryoga, the Kunos, and all those shool chums." he grinned. "I'll kill every person who has ever meant anything to Ranma Saotome!"

Akane was terrified now. This man was a lunatic. "Why?"

He looked furious now. "Why? WHY!? I'll tell you why! For over 3 millenia I was the most feared demon in the world! Those who who had heard my name fled in terror! I was on my way towards ruling this whole planet, on becoming a god! And then, some damn priestess gets in my way and seals me inside one of my own cursed springs!"

"Cursed...springs?"

He grinned, a mad look in his eyes. "Exactly! He just happens to fall in the spring I'm trapped in! he came along just as the seal was weakening! And the magic also left him vulnerable! I took my chance, and entered his body, expecting his body to fall under my control! But, his will was stronger than I expected, and I was trapped between his subconcious and his concious minds! And when I learned the truth about him, I sought only to make him suffer! I would visit him in his dreams, and enact every horror and fear he ever imagined! Every fear, doubt, self-hate, everything that would hurt him, I used to my advantage! And you all helped, making his life hell! I should thank you! Without you guys, he wouldn't have been so vulnerable to me!" He cackled.

Akane was starting to cry now. "It's...our fault!?"

"Yes!!! Yours most of all, Akane! And now, thanks to that weakling Inpachi, I'm free! Weee hee hee hee!"

Akane remembered the demon from yesterday. "You're...like that guy?"

He looked displeased. "Please. I'm nothing like that guy, except of course for our lineage."

Akane backed away from the monster. "Who are you?"

"I'm the demon king, Makio!!!"

Then he leapt towards her.
