Ranma had finally landed in some sort of trail. Wherever he was he could tell that he was still in Nerima. Nerima, the place of not just any chaos but his chaos. No matter what he did he didn't have any say in the matter.
"Maybe now I can have some peace…at least for a little while hopefully."
Unfortunately fate wasn't being very nice to him as he was surrounded by thugs.
"Alright now hand over all your valuables and maybe you won't get hurt. Then again, you look like one of those kinds of people who no one would mind getting hurt, don't tell me, they all want you to do what they want and don't care what you have to say; why would anyone want to care for a puppet like you."
"My despair. I can't get ANY PEACE ANYWHERE. You guys picked the wrong guy to rob!"
"What was that? It sounds like your whispering."
"PERFECT SHI-SHI-HOKODAN!"
Ahuge amount of chi was then released from Ranma and headed skyward. It soon began it's way down again and the thugs were cowering in fear. Ranma wouldn't get hurt by it but not everyone knew that.
Because something swept out from the sky and grabbed Ranma with its claws and flew away with him. Whatever it was it was an animal. This was Ranma's second time riding on an animal. It was going a lot more smooth than his first.
Flashback
Everyone had arrived for the coronation, everyone that is except for Ranma. The Professor was stressing out.
"A prince being late for his own coronation is a capital sin! Where could he be!"
Well ask and you will receive Professor because just then Ranma and Flip landed there on his giant crow. Unfortunately they crashed into the Professor.
"Just made it."
"You did not just make it, you're late!"
"What! No way! You got to be kidding me!"
Of course the Professor was exaggerating but Ranma didn't know that. the Professor then started rushing Ranma into the changing room.
"Hurry, we can not waste a second!"
You then hear things like "Hey watch it pal!" and "I'm going to kick you butt for that!" and some sounds of Ranma beating up the people who were dressing him.
You now see Ranma in a Prince outfit but it was red instead of blue. Ranma looked at himself in the mirror and decided he liked red, he looked good in it.
"Come on now, no time to look at yourself in the mirror. We have to be there NOW!"
The Professor then started pushing Ranma to the coronation. It was starting to get annoying.
Soon…
"Announcing Prince Ranma!"
Ranma then started walking out down the hall like a robot. Everyone was watching him, this sort of thing had never happened to him before.
He almost tripped and everyone gasped. He would rather be having a match right now then going through this. He'd rather be doing anything than this.
He finally made his way to the king and gave this big speech. Apparently Ranma was meant to rule when he was physically and mentally ready, whatever the heck that's supposed to mean. He was also meant to be keeper of the royal scepter, that it would one day be his. The king mentioned that he was the guardian of the golden key and his eyes widened. HE FORGOT THE STUPID KEY!
The king then gave his subjects a sample of the power the scepter had, he began to chant some sort of spell. Ranma didn't quite get all of it but he was pretty sure the second word was pajama. How ironic.
A powerful blast of magical energy was shot from the scepter into the night sky. It was the most powerful thing Ranma had ever seen. It ended like fireworks in the sky.
Well let's just skip ahead her a little shall we? Ranma had the scepter on his lap and was in heavy thought about the key. But his thoughts were interrupted by our favorite clown
"Hey kid, we could have some real fun with that toy there." Said Flip.
"Flip! How did you get in here unnoticed?" asked Ranma.
"I stowed away under some chick's dress." said Flip.
"Pervert!" said Ranma.
Flip then tried to grab thescepter from Ranma but he pulled itaway.
"Don't you ever touch this got it! If you should ever lay a finger on it without my permission I'LL KILL YOU! You messed up the key but I won't let you mess up the scepter. THE KEY!" said Ranma.
He then got up and put the scepter in the Princess's lap.
"Guard this until I come back! And for the love of all things pure, make sure Flip doesn't touch it!" said Ranma.
"Wait! Ranma! What's wrong?" shouted the Princess after him.
Icarus then leapt off her shoulder to help his best friend.
"Icarus!"
He then raced off to find the key, not knowing it was already too late.
You see Ranma run into a dark hallway, and then you see him run out of it being chased by some sort of black goop. Luckily for Ranma, he had speed even at such a young age and out ran the thing.
Ranma soon ran into the room and grabbed the scepter.
"I need to give your father this!" said Ranma.
It looked like the king was dancing but Ranma needed to get his attention anyways. He tried to jump in and out of the crowd to get to him but when he did someof the dancers accidentallyknocked him down. So Ranma did the only thing he could think of, he tried to get the king's attention by calling for him. But to no avail.
"Icarus! Get the king!" ordered Ranma.
Icarus flew up to the king's face and tried to get his attention. But what did the king do? The king started dancing with him instead.
"King Morpheus!" shouted Ranma.
The king still couldn't hear Ranma over the music.
The black goop then started making his way towards the king, and you hear a woman scream.
You now see that the goop is making it's way up the king's body. It was trying to wrap itself around the king and the king was trying to push it off.
"It's Nightmare!" shouted the king.
The goop soon changed into a pillar and the king was at the very top.
"Father!" shouted the princess.
"Uh-oh." Said Flip from behind the throne.
"Ranma! Give me the royal Scepter!" shouted the king reaching out his hand.
"I'm trying! Hold on!" said Ranma trying to get through the crowd.
"Hurry!" said the king as the goop started to engulf him.
Ranma then jumped up into the air to try to deliver the scepter but the goop knocked him down sending himsailingon tothe ground. (talk about a rough landing.)
The goop then completely swallowed the king.
"Oh no!" said the Princess as she witnessed the horrifying event.
The goop then disappeared with the king in itself in a puff of smoke.
"King Morpheus! King Morpheus!" shouted Ranma through the smoke.
But when it cleared there was no king, no goop, no nothing.
"Father! Oh no!" said the Princess right before she broke down.
The Professor was shocked to say the least as he leaned on a support pillar for…well support.
"A nightmare! How did it get in…who opened the forbidden door?" said the Professor seriously.
Ranma gasped as he heard this. Things were forbidden for a reason, who knew?
They then noticed Flip and started closing in on him saying things like "Flip was the one who did it!" "Get him!" "Don't let him get away!"
"Don't point your fingers at me! Ranma was the one who gave me the key! It's his fault!" said Flip passing the buck.
"Flip!" said Ranma with a hurt face. He thought he was actually pretty good friends with Flip, and here he was blaming him.
Everyone was shocked.
"Ranma?" asked the Professor shocked that Ranma would ever do such a thing.
"No! It isn't my fault!" said Ranma.
"Ranma?" said the Princess. The look of betrayal of her face practically broke Ranma's heart. She of all people didn't believe him.
Everyone then started to close in on him with shocked expressions.
"No! It wasn't my…NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Shouted Ranma as he bolted up from bed. He was back in his own room, in his own bed, even Icarus was there.
"A dream? But it was so real." Said Ranma.
He decided that maybe Pops would let him sleep with him. He did say that if he ever had a nightmare it was okay for him to come and sleep with him in his bed, just as long as he didn't tell anyone about it. Genma did have some parenting skills...somewhere.
Ranma started to get up but he felt something in his bed. He looked under the sheets and his eyes widened at what he saw. Underneath the covers was the royal scepter.
"Okay now I'm seriously confused!" said Ranma.
Ranma. Said a voice that sounded like King Morpheus.
"King Morpheus?" said Ranma.
Curiosity got the better of him so he decided to go and search for the voice.
Ranma. Whatever the voice was it was coming from down stairs.
He looked down and saw that the light in his new kitchen was on.
Ranma. The voice was definitely coming from inside.
Ranma looked inside and saw that his refrigerator was glowing. On it was a piece of paper.Ranma. the paper said "Remember your promise." And then showed the symbol of the key that he so poorly guarded.
The refrigerator then shot up to the roof and the freezer door opened unleashing a flood of water. It was then Ranma decided he did not like water.
Ranma started to make a break for his room.
"HELP! ICARUS HELP!"
Ranma ran up to his room and closed the door behind him. Icarus had just started waking up and noticed his friend out of breath.
Just then water started to fill in through the seems of the door.
"NOOOO!" shouted Ranma.
The room was soon filled with water. Ranma seriously thought he was going to drown. (A/N: Can you imagine that? spring of drowned Nemo? Ha! Ha!)
His outer wall of his room collapsed and Ranma, Icarus, and his bed were being sucked into a whirl pool. Ranma and Icarus were using his bed as a boat.
"This is way too weird! I can't tell what's real and what's not anymore!" shouted Ranma.
Pretty soon Ranma and Icarus were in what looked like an endless sea, with his bed as a boat.
He looked up and saw a storm cloud. Lightning hit the sea causing Ranma and Icarus to fall on their backs. Where the lightning hit Ranma could've sworn the water took the form of the king and then disintegrated. Ranma.
"King Morpheus. Oh Icarus, what have I done? This is all my fault." asked Ranma sadly.
Ranma started to sniff and snivel and his little squirrel pal nudged him asking him something.
"Of course I'm n-not cr-crying! R-real men don't c-cry Icarus! I-I just got something in my eye!" said Ranma trying not to cry.
And so there they drifted, in a seemingly endless sea.
End Flashback
Ranma looked up at his captor and saw that it was a dragon. An honest to goodness red dragon.
"Remember me?" asked the dragon.
0.0
"Not really." Said Ranma.
"Oh come on. You saved my life." said thedragon.
Ranma juststared at him.
"I was your project." said the dragon trying to get Ranma to remember him.
Ranma still just stared.
"You thought I was a sea horse in a puddle." Said the dragon with half lidded eyes.
"Oh yeah! Now I remember you! to be honest I didn't know you could talk." Said Ranma.
"I can do a lot of things you don't know about. One of them is tracking, that's how I found you." said the dragon.
"Why did you need to find me anyways Mr. Dragon?" asked Ranma.
"Please, call me Red, Mr. Dragon is my father. As for why I needed to find you well when you got me out of that puddle you saved my life. In a way I'm indebted to you and would like to be your friend." Said Red.
"You mean you won't try to kill/engage me to someone?" asked Ranma.
"No. why would I want to do that?" asked a confused Red.
"Well let's just say my life is as unforgiving as the storm you were born in." said Ranma
Me: "And that's it for this chapter. I so wanted to put in it that Flip would say something like "It was Ranma's fault! He trusted me with the key! Everyone knows that no one should trust me…wait that didn't come out right." But I didn't. but let me know what you thought of this chapter."
