Ranma/ Panzer Dragoon Saga
Avatar
Ranma glared at the flying creature, as it readied more floating spears to skewer the irritating insect that had invaded its domain. It fired, and Ranma leapt directly into them.
"YOU BASTARD!" The pigtailed boy exclaimed, rebounding off the shaft of the spears in order to gain more altitude to attack his advisary directly, "For harming Azel, I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!!!"
The creature quickly brought its winged arms foward to guard its face, and Ranma would have been impressed if he weren't so enraged. Ranma's fist was enveloped by the largest concentration of ki he could muster, and slammed it into the monster's guard. His fist held against the thick armor with his battle energy rumbling between the impact; they stayed in against each other for several moments, like a magnetic attraction built from their collision. Ranma smirked as he felt the hardened shell give slightly, and pulled away to land back onto the sand coated cavern floor.
Ranma landed hard kneeling, kicking up an enormous cloud of dust and sand that gave his enormous battle aura a mist-like quality. The expression of the pigtailed boy through the haze of particles and energy showed he was far from satisfied, as now he was determined to bring down this monster in vengence for the young woman he had only known for a day or so, but could tell deserved so much better from the hard life she must live.
The airborne creature seemed to consider Ranma a bit more, and launched twice the amount of spears at the nusance that was becoming more than just that.

Azel coughed, trying to clear herself of the sand she accidentally inhaled, and pushed as much of the pile she could off of her. She could not completely free herself, but now was able to see the battle being waged.
Her eyes grew wide at the fiercely glowing young man, that was standing defiantly as a large barrage of spears headed his way.
"RANMA!" Azel screamed, but her cry was drowned out by the sound of massive object colliding with a sandy surface. Azel's companion had not moved from what she could see, but assumed the worst through the sandcloud that was kicked up in his area.
"For the Sestran," Azel prayed, as she watched the sky blue aura cut through the thick, dense sandstorm. The young man stood in the same spot he was before the impact, with his fist raised. Most of the spears landed around him, digging deeply into the sand. Azel noticed that several shards of one or two of them were scattered about.
He defiantly shoved two of the building tall projectiles out of his way as if they were tall grass, and took purposeful and prideful strides foward. The young man looked up towards the hovering creature, as if daring it to do its worst.
Azel's breath was caught in her throat; never had she thought it possible for anything less than a dragon could take a Gidra in full fighting mode. It was just impossible. But the cyclone earlier, along with the brilliant light her companion was glowing with that was lighting the whole cavern like an underground moon was beginning to show Azel just what this boy named Ranma exelled in... the impossible.
Perhaps the pigtailed boy's luck was now running out, as the Gidra was preparing for its more powerful attacks.

The giant monster reeled back in a furious bellow, as several smaller creatures extracted themselves from the main host. They swarmed towards Ranma, who looked at them with contempt. The pigtailed boy started to flow through them with attacks like water cascading through a pile of river-worn stones; swatting the fluttering nusances out of the air with such a ferocity that their hardened insectoid shells were nearly crushed. But Ranma knew this was all just a distration, and began to admire subconciously the slight tactical abilities the massive beast overhead was displaying.
Over top of Ranma hovered a complete shower of spears that threatened to completely bury Ranma under their mass if he managed even to shatter a few. It was becoming climatic now, so it was time to find a way to permantly take down the strange creature.

Azel flinched away almost, as the rain of spears was sent crashing down at the young man. Her vision just barely caught something blur upwards through the falling spears, and she continued to track it to the apex of it's flight.
"He... he jumped..." Azel whispered, watching Ranma arc downards towards the Gigra's head. It was an amazing height he reached, easily exeeding even a Dragon's bound with several flaps of its powerful wings. How could such a small vessel like Ranma manage to almost fly off the ground? It was far, too far, beyond human to imagine.
Once again it put up its arms to protect itself, which did it no good, as Ranma merely landed upon them like platforms, and ran towards the head.
He shouted something that was audible, if not understandable, all the way down to Azel, as he suddenly became blindingly bright as he leapt from the arms towards his target.

Ranma was oblivious to the power increase, as he leapt from the arm and arced down towards the exposed part of the head. At the height of his jump, Ranma tucked his right knee all the way to his chest, and twisted slightly to the left to prepare momentum for his attack.
"CHOKUSETSU SHUUDA RYUUSEI KYAKU!!!"
Ranma seemed little more than a beam of energy, as he shot downwards at an angle from the momentum of his meteor kick attack, and kept going at an insane velocity as he collided with the ground. A blue dome of energy arose from the impact, spreading a ring of sand outwards along with shockwaves that rumbled the area and caused more of the ceiling to fall about.
The massive creature gave no scream of agony, as its head had been punctured. It fell lifelessly to the ground, sending out its own heavy rumbling.
Ranma was still kneeling on one hand and knee with his free forearm wiping his brow. He was trapped under the creature in a crater of his own making, all this did was give him the oppurtunity to finish the job.
"SHIN MOUKU..."

A blue pillar of light rose from the creature, plunging through the ceiling effortlessly and screaming to the night sky. Azel once again was forced to shield her eyes from what was probably the most potent display of power she had seen outside of a high class bioweapon or giga-class air cruiser, such as Edge's Dragon or her Atolm, or the Grig Org.
A blur that she knew was Ranma leapt from the center of the gigra, and ran frantically towards her position.
"AZEL!" He screamed out, as he approached the pile, his aura had died out, so he couldn't see her really.
"Ranma, I am alive," Azel called out. She heard his breath release audibly, and knew that he was relieved at her welfare. The young man tracked her by her shout, and went to work at removing the boulders that were trapping her almost effortlessly. Azel sat still and marveled at the casual display of might of her companion, and decided nothing naturally born could be so powerful. It was the logical conclusion; Ranma was a drone, like her, exept he was built for warfare since he held the might of a dragon. It was now clear that his 'language' was a simple malfunction; he was probably damaged for some odd reason. That would also go to explain why he seemed not to know his origins.
Azel began to wonder what had awakened 'Ranma' from his slumber, as the young man spoke frantically while checking her for any injuries.
Azel's contemplation was cut short, when a peculiar sensation began to overwhelm her at her companion's sincere concern.

Everyone in the unfinished palace that was up and about saw the pillar of light reach to the heavens far, far off in the distance.
"WHAT WAS THAT?" Shouted the emperor, looking out his window in awe. Nobody was there to answer him, and he scowled slightly. He would have a party of soldiers go to investigate the desert, and discover the origin of the phenomenon; the Emperor had to prepare himself for a visit to Uru, where the ancient texts described a sanctuary or sorts, or laboratory, hidden underground. Passage into the caverns hidden beneith the ocean sized lake's bed should prove little problem, as Crayman and his fleet had already opened the passage before they met with defeat by the legendary Dragon.
Crayman was powerful, so it had to be a mighty creature to defeat him; the emperor decided that he would just have to get one or two of his own.
