Disclaimer: Ranma ½ and Final Fantasy III, (or VI in Japan), is not owned by me you got that? I do not have exclusive rights so there.
Ranma didn't know what was going on. He had run off with a girl in tow, while half of him expected female wrath from the fiancée brigade, the other half registered something else he by all means wasn't in Nerima anymore.
"I don't like stealing this from Ryoga but… Where on earth am I now!" Ranma yelled out.
"Look up there it's the girl!" A soldier said pointing at the two.
"Oops." Ranma said.
Terra quickly took over leading. "The old man said to take to the mines, hurry." Terra ran with Ranma in hot pursuit. Along the way Terra noticed something about Ranma. "Uh, Ranma right?"
Ranma nodded. "Yep that's my name, what's up?
"Where's your armor? And a weapon, I don't see one." Terra said.
"Armor? I don't need armor. Armor would only slow me down and weapons are useless once taken away." Ranma said.
"Um, Ranma although I can't really remember much right now, I do know that there are very dangerous things here that can kill you if you don't have any armor, and also things that you can't just hit with your fists." Terra said
"What kind of things are we talking about?" Ranma said as they entered the caves only to hear a hiss nearby both spun to face it. "What the hell is that thing?" Ranma said.
"It's a wererat." Terra said brandishing her mithril knife. Ranma quickly leaped at the monster. "Take this!" Ranma kicked the thing in the head. The wererat lurched back but recovered quickly and clawed Ranma's side before he could react. Ranma cried out in pain while Terra rushed in and slashed finishing off the monster.
"Ranma are you all right?" Terra rushed over to Ranma's side.
"Just a scratch, it ain't to bad, man I can't believe I let my guard down like that." Ranma hissed as Terra wrapped his wound with a piece of his shirt.
"That should do it." Terra said blushing slightly at seeing Ranma's well sculpted six pack that was now exposed. "Now do you see the importance of armor?"
"I just let my guard down, it won't happen again." Ranma said.
"Don't say that! Don't be so stubborn!" Terra yelled out then gasped at what she did. Ranma stared at her with wide eyes. "Next time it may not be a scratch Ranma, I-I don't want to lose you." Her gaze went down to the floor.
"What?" Ranma said confused.
Terra sighed. "I have no idea why I'm here, why I was a being controlled by the Empire, it's… It's almost too much to bear. I'm all alone."
Ranma was lost for words he didn't know what to say until finally he said the first thing that came to mind. "Hey you're not alone, I'm here."
"Exactly," Terra said looking straight at him. "And I want to try to keep it that way."
The words hit Ranma hard, he was worrying her to death because of his pride. "Oh, alright when we get out of this I'll go see about getting some armor and a weapon." He said scratching the back of his head.
"Thank you." Terra said.
Ranma grabbed her hand and smirked. "Well come on, I ain't gonna get armor just sitting here, let's go." He began to lead her along, not noticing her blush.
The two were attacked several more times till they reached another cave. "I think this may lead to a way out." Terra said.
Ranma nodded began to walk toward the opening when a group of soldiers came through. "There they are." The leader said.
Ranma pushed Terra behind him and clenched his fists. It didn't look good the soldiers had swords and the looks of it they knew how to use them much better then a certain blue blunder. The soldiers closed in forcing the two to a wall, suddenly the ground gave way and the two fell. Ranma groaned lifting his head seeing Terra lying unconscious. "Terra." Ranma crawled over to her and shook her. "Terra wake up we have to go, they'll be… coming… soo…" Exhausted from the previous fights and his injuries Ranma blacked out.
Meanwhile back at the old man's place. A grey haired man walked in, he had a mischievous look in his eyes. "Locke it's good of you to come steal any good treasure?" The man said.
Locke looked at the old man. "I'm a treasure hunter not a thief!" He calmed down. "So where is she? The girl who fried fifty soldiers in five minutes."
To be continued.
Sorry if this is short. I'm trying to put up a bunch of fics and I'm spread thin. If you guys want longer chapters to read then I'll put them up one at a time within a couple weeks or so.
