Okay. Time for chapter 1. I'm going to wing it, so if you think I ripping the Amazing Race, you're wrong, I'm not, trust me.
Ranma, Akane and Ryoga walked through a white hallway. The three of them agreed before they came, there was no backing out of this. They were ready to register for the King of Iron Fist Tournament. But things were not about to go smoothly. The trio came to the registration desk.
"May I help you?"asked the man at the desk. Ranma nodded silently. The man took out three papers. "New meat for the slaughter?"he asked as the three looked in shock. "Best piece of advice,"the man began, "don't enter. Trust me."he said sliding them the papers. The three signed and returned them to the man as he handed them a paper, a sympathetic look in his eyes. The three left before they decided to read the paper.
"Hello and welcome, combatant..."Ranma read aloud. "You have successfully been registered for the King of Iron Fist Tournament number 4. This tournament will be more than a test a strength. It will be a test of bravery, resolve, endurance and ultimately the true test of your Tekken." Ranma looked up at the two. They stared with concern. "You will follow the directions enclosed on foot. You will go to the location marked for further instructions. Be forewarned that on the way, you will encounter other combatants who will show no mercy. You will not be safe from other combatants who seek you. Go now, and fight as a warrior."Ranma finished. The other two nodded as Ranma took off the directions from the back of the paper. It was a map of Japan marked with a trail to Osaka.
"We're going to Osaka."Ranma said.
"Why Osaka?"asked Akane as the three walked off. Ranma shrugged.
"The directions said to go to Osaka. We should get going soon."Ranma said. Ryoga nodded, Ranma putting his arm over Ryoga.
"WE'RE GOIN' TOGETHER!"Ranma called as Ryoga flailed at him. "WE CAN'T AFFORD FOR YOU TO GET LOST RIGHT NOW!"
"LET GO OF ME, DAMMIT!"Ryoga called swinging at Ranma. The two jumped back as Akane smacked her face.
"HEY YOU TWO!"she called. She stomped over to them, but no sooner had she gotten to the feuding duo did someone jump from over a wall and landed nimbly infront of them.
"You there!"he shouted as he pointed to Ranma. Ranma turned to look at him. He had short hair and a goatee, the look of a warrior in his eyes.
"What do you want?"Ranma asked, not taking his eyes off the man. The man took an offensive position.
"You are a participant of the King of Iron Fist Tournament, are you not?"he said gruffly. Ranma nodded. "My name is Marshall Law,"he continued "and you are my opponent."
"Yep"Ranma said taking a defensive stance. "I knew we were in for something as soon as we registered."
"Lead on."Law glared. Ranma charged and leapt for a kick, but this man was nothing like anything any of them had seen before. Law backflipped, land a powerful kick on Ranma, sending him crashing into the ground. Slightly dazed, Ranma got back up, staring his foe down. Law scissor-stepped in place, ready for action. Ranma charged at him, but as he came to Law, he put both his hands together and shoved Ranma back once more. Ranma looked up at Law in shock. He hadn't gotten a single attack on Law, and already he had been forced to his knees twice. Ranma glared and jumped for a kick, but Law was ready. One roundhouse-kick, and Ranma fell to the ground for a third time.
"It's time to go home."Law said quietly. Ranma glared up at him.
"I'm not going down that easy."he growled. "Not now. Not never!"he called as he thrust his palm at Law's shin. His opponent stumbled back and fell on one knee. Ranma jumped high and shot down at Law. Slightly alarmed, Law quickly rolled out of the way as Ranma's foot crashed through the concrete. Ranma, hoping Law would dodge, swung his leg in a semi-circle, whacking Law hard. Law flew through the air into a wall. Ranma stood, waiting for Law to respond. No movement. Ranma walked over to him and looked at him. He seemed out cold. Ranma smirked and turned to leave and jabbed his elbow back as Law came to him, really knocking him out this time. Ranma walked to join Akane and Ryoga... but he was missing.
"He wondered off again, didn't he?"Ranma moaned. Akane nodded. Ranma sighed and motioned her to follow him as he began to trek toward Osaka. It was going to be a long trip, and he knew there would be stronger foes along the way.
Meanwhile, Ryoga walked slowly to what he thought was Osaka, but was going far north. He stopped when he felt a presence around him. He turned slightly and saw a huge, scarred man before him. They both stared the other down, completely silent. Then, Ryoga turned completely, facing the mammoth figure.
"I would suppose you're my opponent?"Ryoga asked coldly. The man's face split into a freakish grin and he began to laugh maniacally. Ryoga could feel something deep inside this man. He could feel... Fury...
Hi. Very sorry that it took so long. I've been alittle down in the dumps lately and haven't felt too motivated. Well, I'm going to update Ranmanga Daioh! next, then we can see how Ranma and co. fair against the onslaught of deadly brawlers. Well, later.
