Seriously, This is the Epilogue!
*** Months after the rematch, Mount Horai Ruin ***
"And here we are folks, this is where it all ends! Sixty four schools have battled hard in the Inter-high Fight Out tournament, and now only two remain here on this former mountain!" Reporter Nagasi Yuriko exclaimed, high above the forest in her helicopter, relaying the story countrywide. With wide-eyed excitement, she watched as the students from both schools engaged in a battle of incredible scale. "Kawakami Academy, which is well known as a martial arts school nationwide that cultivates both strength and mental intellect is the clear favorite here, and they're pitted against the dark horse of the Tournament, Furinkan High!"
Down below on the battlefield itself, the two titanic masses of bodies clashed in the middle of an open area. Kawakami Academy students were in their gym clothes, and had tied a red strip of cloth to their right arms to identify their faction, while the Furinkan High students had blue.
"Because of this being the final battle between the schools, and in an effort to make this appear more like a real battle, students from each school could incorporate up to fifty outsiders into their fighting force!" Reporter Nagasi said excitedly. "Lines will be drawn, allies might have turned into enemies, anything is possible in this final battle!"
Hundreds of Kawakami Academy students under the red banner, armed with wooden weapons clashed with the mass of students from Furinkan High who fought under the blue banner.
"Ooh! It looks like something is happening down there!" Reporter Nagasi said as she pointed, gesturing to the camera to capture the exciting moment when the two armies clashed.
+++++ Down on the battlefield. +++++
The Cinderella school of the tournament, Furinkan High was being pressured by the Kawakami Academy group.
"Damn it Dai, these guys ain't no joke!" Daisuke told his friend and battle brother as he fended off an attack from one of the Kawakami students.
"We got trouble Taicho, they are breaking our lines!" Yuka, a student of Furinkan and Akane's friend reported as she saw more of her classmates on the outer edge of their battle formation getting mowed down by the more disciplined Kawakami group. "We're going to lose the front!" she shouted in a panic.
"Command!" Hiroshi, the captain on the front-line shouted into his ear piece. "We are in deep shit! I repeat, in DEEP SHIT! Our lines are breaking!" He shouted as more and more of his classmates were mowed down mercilessly.
++++Furinkan High Battle Command ++++
"Acknowledged." Nabiki said calmly at Hiroshi's panicked report. Seamlessly she switched channels while looking at the screen display in her pavilion to assess the situation. "Shooting Star, have your group move in to reinforce the frontline, I repeat Shooting Star reinforce the front line."
"It's The Keeper of Blades, wretched woman!" An arrogant voice shouted back via her transceiver. "I haven't used Shooting Star in two years!" The person on the other line protested indignantly.
"Are you going to help, or are you just gonna let us get overrun?" Nabiki replied flatly.
"As if the scion of house Kuno would let us fall!" Tatewaki Kuno scoffed. "Orders Acknowledged! To me my retainers!" He said before cutting off his connection with Nabiki.
"Hmmph." Nabiki said, looking at the map that showed Kuno and his group moving to reinforce the frontline. "Used one of our trump cards already, damn it Ranma, you better get here soon! If they realize you're not here, it's over." She muttered softly to herself.
++++ Frontline +++++
"Hiroshi, the center cannot hold!" Daisuke said as more and more Furinkan students crumbled at the front. "It's over, save yourself!" He shouted to his friend, hoping to buy him time to retreat.
Suddenly the center of the Kawakami academy battle line exploded as throngs of students from the Academy were flung helplessly into the air before falling down, bruised and beaten.
"Fear not my noble comrades, the noble house of Kuno stands with you this day for I, Tatewaki Kuno, have arrived!" In the middle of the Academy student was Kuno, in his Kendo garb and looking as arrogant as usual.
"Kuno-sempai!" Daisuke said with hope in his eyes. If there was a crazy he wanted on his side it was Kuno.
"Fight on noble classmate!" Kuno yelled in encouragement and basked in the glow as they responded in kind. Turning back to the Academy students in red that surrounded him, he smirked. " Foolish." He said before attacking them. "I strike, I strike, Ahahahah! BOW BEFORE HOUSE KUNO!"
Daisuke and Hiroshi, along with the rest of their classmates watched in awe as Kuno began cutting a vicious swath of destruction through the Kawakami Academy's ranks.
"Well, are we going to let Kuno-sempai do all the fighting?" Sayuri the flag bearer shouted as she charged in.
"R-right!" Hiroshi said as he lifted up his bokken. "EVERYONE! CHARGEEEEE!"
"ARRRRGGGGHHHH!" The Furinkan students shouted as they charged at the opposing force.
++++Kawakami Academy HQ +++++
"He's unstoppable, no wait, stop AHHH -*" The transmission abruptly cut off.
"So, that's the scion of house Kuno, impressive." Touma Aoi, handsome glasses-wearing boy of 2-S muttered under his breath before turning around to the light brown haired boy acting as their leader and chief strategist. "What are your orders, Yamato?" He asked.
Yamato Naoe crossed his arms and smirked, he couldn't believe that he was getting the chance to match wits with the Ice Queen. When he visited the Tendo Household back then, he hadn't realized that Nabiki was the elusive Ice Queen who had completely cut off his social networking connections in Nerima. She was why he had never heard of Ranma, she had the place on complete lockdown.
"Yamato -kun?" Touma Aoi said softly, prompting his commander. Initially, a lot of his classmates wanted him to be the tactician in this battle, but he had pointed out to them that Yamato had defeated him when he himself had greater numbers. 'Show me your strength Yamato-kun!' He thought excitedly. 'Show me your cute side.'
A sudden chill went up Yamato's spine as he saw Touma Aoi, the president of class 2-S, look at him in an almost hungry manner. 'I already told you I like women, didn't I?!' He mentally shouted before turning back to the computerized display screen showing his troop positions, as well as known enemy locations.
"Well, since it is a noble of Japan that is attacking, let see how he fares against our German battle tank." Yamato said with a grin. "Have our forces pull back here." He said pointing to a spot a couple of hundred yards away from his forces' current position. "Let's give the scion of house Kuno a nice, warm welcome."
"Oh ho." Touma Aoi said grinning. "I like it, Lieutenant Margit Eberbach, you're on." He said as she talked into his headpiece.
"Ranma?" The husky voice on the other end asked curiously, in an almost eager tone.
"Ah no." Touma said with a bead of sweat rolling down his head.
"Tch. Then I pity the one who has to face me." The deep voice on the other end replied before hanging up.
++++ Frontline +++++
"Run you curs! Run!" Kuno exclaimed, laughing as he smote Kawakami Academy students left and right. "They're running like cowardly dogs, we press onward!" He charged, and was followed by a mass of Furinkan High students when suddenly he felt a powerful presence from their right flank.
The right flank of the Furinkan army was instantly penetrated as an intimidating red haired woman wearing an eye patch, armed with two black batons, and wearing a German military uniform crashed into it with a sizable force of her own.
"Oh my god!" One of the Furinkan students yelled as he saw the hundreds of reinforcements that she had brought with her, "She's hot!" He exclaimed before he was booted in the face by the red haired woman.
"Hmm, where's the Scion of house Kuno?" Lt. Margit demanded in an authoritative tone before she blocked an incoming strike with a baton. Looking at the attacker with her uncovered eye, she grinned. "You must be him, not bad." She complimented before sending a powerful punch at Kuno, making him slide back before taking off her eyepatch.
"Foul red headed witch!" Kuno said, struggling to recover from the punch. "I shall smite thee!" He said as he charged.
++++ Furinkan HQ +++++
Nabiki watch as the blip on the radar that signified Kuno winked out. "Damn." She cursed. "Tell our front line to pull back and hold steady. Have Kumon go there and hold out." She said, pounding her fist on the map. "Any signs of Ranma yet?" She asked.
"No ma'am, Ranma still hasn't been sighted on the battlefield." One of Nabiki's money collectors and current relay officers reported.
'Shit! Where are you, you're going to be late and your girlfriend's going to get her wish!' Nabiki thought in annoyance. "Well played Yamato, your front door might be barred, but that doesn't mean there aren't other ways in." She said aloud to her second in command.
++++ Right Flank position +++++
"Fiancee brigade; Operation Blitzkrieg is a go, I repeat, Operation Blitzkrieg is a go, we must get them to pull back from our front!"
"Acknowledged, and STOP CALLING US THE FIANCEE BRIGADE!" Akane shouted at her sister via their Bluetooth earpiece. "Honestly, that baka made his choice!" She huffed in annoyance.
"Shampoo go bash head in now yes? Is boring to just wait." Shampoo in Chinese battle armor with her two chui asked, sitting atop of an armored horse.
"Yeah, and where the hell did you even get the horse from?" Akane replied, pointing at the war stallion.
"Is Amazon war horse, great grandmother had ship special for me this day. Carry pride of Chinese Amazon she said today, show Japanese proper fighting." Shampoo said with a smirk.
"You're just begging for a fight, sugar." Ukyou said with a grin before turning to her friend. "So what'd Nab's say?"
"Operation Blitzkrieg is a go, girls." Akane said with a grin.
"Any sign of Ran-chan?" Ukyou asked hopefully.
"Not that I've heard yet." Akane said, blowing the bangs out of her eyes. "Honestly, we're doing this for him and he doesn't even have the decency to be here!" She huffed in annoyance.
"Ai-Ranma asked for help but say he might be late, Shampoo understand." Shampoo said with a nod. "Now we bash head in yes?" She asked cutely.
Akane sighed in exasperation before she grinned. "SENIORS!" She shouted, the three hundred seniors behind her picked up the word, making it a rather redundant chant. Pulling out her battle mallet, she pointed forward to where the enemy lines were. "We are going to show these rich little snobs who's boss! ATTACK!"
"AUUUGGHHHH!" The Seniors yelled in response as they charged the fortified lines of the Kawakami Academy students.
+++Across the River +++++
"Are they crazy?!" Jun Inoue, the bald headed lolicon of 2-S questioned, pointing at the stampede of students. Next to him was Gakuto and Ren from 2-F. "Can't they see how well defended we are? And we have the high ground!" He exclaimed as he watched the screaming mass started to draw near.
Kazama, who was the captain of this front turned around and signaled to his archers. "EVERYONE PREPARE YOURSELVES, HERE THEY COME!" He shouted as the Furinkan army stormed the shallow riverbed and smashed into their fortifications. "FIRE!" He shouted, and dozens of arrows were let loose into the sea of blue that smashed against their heavily reinforced wooden palisade.
"Captain!" One of the guys from 1-C said, coming up minutes after the wave of Furinkan students was presumably stopped at the wall. "They have somehow punched a hole through our fortification and are overrunning our position!" He relayed with a tone of disbelief.
"What?! How?" Soichi Kazama, captain of the Kazama family group said when he saw yet another one of their fortified wood beams get knocked down, falling in towards his forces and causing chaos where it fell. Then he saw her, the purple haired beauty atop a high horse, galloping along their walls and using what looks to be two large iron balloon things, casually smashing the reinforced wood fortifications as if they were little more than matchsticks.
"All fall down~~" Shampoo chanted in a sing song voice as she completely collapsed the fortification onto their enemies. There were some Academy students who tried to stop her, but she dispatched them without much effort. "Is too too easy." She said tauntingly as some of the braver students charged at the Chinese Amazon, even as she felled another of the not-so-great structures.
"It's her!" Kazama yelled frantically, pointing to the purple haired girl. "Stop her!" He shouted. As he saw a mass of boys charge toward the purple haired girl, he was forced to watch as she easily sent them all flying away with a swipe of her iron balloon weapons.
"It's all over, we need to fall back!" Gakuto shouted urgently as he dispatched a Furinkan student. He couldn't believe that the defense they put so much effort into making impenetrable had been dismantled so easily.
"Damn it." Kazama said, but he could already see the Furinkan students pouring through the open gaps in their fortifications. "Everyone fall back!" He ordered, and was about to retreat when he saw a short haired girl holding a BAM (Big Ass Mallet) blocking his way.
"Sorry." The girl said politely as she brought the BAM up over her head.
++++ Kawakami Academy HQ ++++
Yamato bowed his head in respect as he saw the blip that was Kazama, Gakuto, and Gen's squadron wink out. On the radar map he could see tiny blue dots pouring through their defensive lines, washing over the other tiny red dots on the screens. "Clever, Nabiki." He said in admiration as he saw the massive swath of blue forces on a direct course towards his headquarters.
"Is Ranma with them?" Touma asked seriously. "Or is he back at the center front?" He turned to look at one of the communication officers, who shook his head, signaling that no one had that information.
"Hmmm, he might be heading straight for us." Yamato said, looking at the map. "Our entire western front fell too quickly, and in the same time margin, advances have slowed to a crawl due to the heavy resistance and report of a strong fighter." He mused, looking at the map.
"So the Ice Queen has effectively split our forces in two, hmm?" Touma said in admiration. He loved these war games.
"Respond or die eh?" Yamato mused as he drummed his fingers along the battle map on the large table in front of him.
"Your orders?" Moro said as he awaited Yamato's command, along with everyone else in the tent.
"Have Margit pull back and hit their flanks." Yamato said, pointing at the encroaching throng of enemies. "Tell Wanko and Yuki to bring up the reserves and reinforce Headquarters, we'll blunt their attack here." He said as he saw the stream of blue dots overrunning the red lines, signifying that their extended defensive fallback line were being wiped out quicker than they could regroup.
Touma nodded and relayed the orders.
Yamato sighed before slapping his face to help himself focus. He didn't want to win, not really, at least not with that prize on the line, but damn if his sister wasn't scary. He'd better perform at his utmost capabilities, or else he was in for a world of abuse. "Have the Itagaki siblings provide a distraction by hitting their center again with the right wing."
"Yes sir!" The others in the group around him shouted as they carried out their orders.
"Wouldn't that leave our eastern front weakened?" Hideo said, looking at the formation and the exposure they would leave the Kawakami forces in danger of being.
"Based on the numbers I saw, I calculate that she has already committed a large numbers of troops here." Yamato said pointing at the large force making their way to their headquarters. "Which means that the forces we see on the right wing is just a skeleton force meant to force us to commit more troops to that front." He replied, looking intently at the screen.
"I see, so you're going to continue to knock on their door while they try to knock on ours." Hideo said with a grin, he was visibly impressed by Yamato's tactics. Any forces that were left from Furinkan would have to either respond to the attack on their headquarters or make their way over to the Kawakami's own.
++++ Right wing +++++
The Itagaki girls and their brother were just waiting around when their call came in.
"Finally!" Angel the loli-looking girl of the group said, her red twin pigtails flapping wildly in her excitement.
"Let's go earn our pay." Ami, the taller and more filled out sister said. She possessed violet hair and cut it shorter than Ami, she chose to dress rather provocatively compared to her sister as well.
Tatsuko the third sister had long blue hair, and was dozing off when orders came in from Yamato. "Ah man, and I was having such a nice dream too about Yamato-chan." She said bashfully as she scratched her right cheek.
"Hmm, that boy does have a nice ass." Ryuuhei their long haired thuggish looking brother agreed as he put out a cigarette by merely pressing it against his palm. "Let's show these jokers who's who." He said as he tossed the cigarette butt on the ground and snuffed it with his steel toed boot.
"Still a frontal assault ordered by Yamato-chan, eh?" Tatsuko said grinning. "How bold." She said, grinning from ear to ear.
"That baka! Doesn't he know we're too valuable to risk on the front lines?" Angel said, clearly vexed. If they asked why she was here if she didn't like it there, then she would have denied that it had anything to do with a certain brown haired boy.
"Well whatever, let's just finish this." Ami said in a cool voice. Turning around to the ape-like boy who had been doing nothing but ogling the three girls, a tick developed on her forehead as she kicked him down onto the ground. "Alright then you fucking perverted ape, tell the others we're moving out and hitting their center!" She ordered, making sure to add extra pressure with her high heels as she did so.
"Oh yes mistress Ami!" Ikuro Fukumoto, the scrawny pervert of class 2-F moaned. He loved punishment play, especially from such a hot girl.
Another vein popped out from Ami's head as she kicked him. "GO now!" She shouted, and nodded in satisfaction as the resting students started marching to the front lines.
"Let's go and crush them!" Angel yelled out enthusiastically.
The boys of Kawakami academy blushed before shouting a loud affirmative as they made their way to the enemy front.
+++ Close to Kawakami HQ ++++
"There! We're almost there! We might be able to end this!" Ukyou said with a grin as she dispatched five guys in one hit with her BAS (Big Ass Spatula.) "Heh, looks like we don't need Ran-chan after all." She said with a grin.
"IS too too easy!" Shampoo said as she twirled around with her chui, sending the home force of the Kawakami group flying in the air.
"Yeah, I can't wait to rub it in his f- huh!" Akane said as she dodged left from a powerful kick sent her way. Rolling to her feet, she saw a pretty long haired girl with white hair and the one known as Wanko grinning, her Naginata in her hand.
"Out of my way worm!" A powerful voice shouted as a throng of Furinkan students was batted into the air. Stepping over their defeated bodies in a battered military uniform was a red haired foreigner.
The Fiancee brigade backed up at the entrance of the three powerful girls, Akane hated to admit it but these girls felt incredibly powerful, the only one of their group that could probably match them would be Shampoo.
Kazuko 'Wanko' Kawakami locked eyes with Shampoo, who nodded at the silent challenge.
"Shampoo marked her's, sugar." Ukyou said upon seeing the tension between the Kazuko girl and Shampoo. If she squinted she swore she could see a dog and cat aura roaring at each other. "Pick your poison, the white haired girl or the redhead?" She asked as she leaned her back into Akane's.
"I'll take the redhead, I have some experience with taking them out." Akane said, smirking with a confidence she didn't feel.
"Looks like you're mine, sugar." Ukyou said with an easy grin over to the white haired girl. "The name is Ukyou."
"Yuki." she replied with an affable smile.
"Akane." Akane introduced herself to the battle axe of a woman.
"Lieutenant Margit Eberbach." her opponent introduced herself with a nod.
Shampoo and Wanko still eyed one another, not even bothering with introductions.
"So!" Yuki said clapping her hand together. "Shall we begin?" She asked.
Moments later the six girls clashed in epic combat, even as their classmates battled one another all around them.
+++++ Furinkan HQ +++++
"They're too powerful, we need help! We need reinfor-arghhh stop fucking grabbing my ass you pervert!" Ryu Kumon's voice blared through headquarters.
"I am gonna love you tenderly brother man!" A deep voice said.
"S-stay the fuck away!" Ryu Kumon screamed in hysterics.
All around the pavilion were girls wearing faces struck with horror at the communication from their frontline that was being broadcast loud and clear.
Nabiki however remained cold and impassive. 'They really are a school dedicated to martial arts, while Furinkan is more of a brawling type free for all.' She thought sagely. 'However, I'm not out of tricks yet. Ranma will pull through, after all Yamato has yet to play his trump card.'
"Commander, what are we to do?" Lackey # 1 asked of her commander.
"Send in our anti-Itagaki force to help Kumon." Nabiki said with a grin.
++++ In front of Furinkan HQ ++++
"I guess this is overkill." Tatsuko said as she easily dispatched yet another Furinkan student without even trying.
"Yeah, might as well tell Yamato that we got this." Angel said haughty as she smacked more people away. She looked over to her brother Ryuuhei, who was playing his favorite game; 'grab ass' with a boy that was dressed similar to him, only more military looking.
"A waste." Ami the cool one said, referring to their skill being wasted on this, only to feel the ground beneath her rumbling before exploding, sending her flying away with minor cuts covering her body.
"What the?!" Angel exclaimed at seeing the ground literally exploded underneath her older sister. She was about to go to her when she felt something latch onto her with a powerful grip.
"Ohhh you're cute, I shall name you Victoria!" A saccharine whisper weaved its way into Angel's ear.
"Who?" Angel asked as she felt her attacker fondle her all over." "HEY GET OFF OF ME!" She screeched, blushing while she tried to remove the offensive pink wearing... THING in front of her.
"Victoria!" Azusa shouted jubilantly as she started to let her hands roam freely all over Angel's body. "You are Azusa's own moe loli toy!" she said, still maintaining her octopus-like grip.
The other two Itagaki sisters sweat dropped at the sight. Ami was about to berate her sister when an extremely handsome boy appeared in front of her. "Hello there beautiful, the name is Mikado, Mikado Sanzenin and I am sorry by the attack from my friends. She can be a bit overzealous you see." He said with a smile, teeth so white that they sparkled. "May I ask for the name of the beautiful woman before me?" He asked charmingly.
Ami's face took on a light blush as she saw Mikado with a rainbow in the background. " A-Ami Itagaki." She answered shyly.
"Ami," Mikado said the name in a sensual tone. " What a pretty name to go with such a pretty face." He continued suavely before taking her hand into his and giving the back of it a light peck.
"S-os- I-." Ami said, blushing beet red from such a handsome boy's admiration.
"If you don't mind, why don't you and I forget about this battle and go someplace where we can get to know each other better, like say a five star restaurant?" Mikado pressed on, turning his charm up to the max.
"But-I - my sisters- I have to fight." Ami struggled to say. She really wanted to go with this boy.
"That is a shame." Mikado said sadly while looking downcast. "I am afraid I won't last long against you," He said as he brushed a bang out of his eyes in a tragic way, making the girls of Kawakami Academy squeal in delight. "Because you see, I'm more of a lover than a fighter." He whispered in Ami's ears.
'Screw this!' Ami thought to herself. Being on the road doing what she did, she didn't get to meet good looking guys, and from his comments earlier, he was rich, aka loaded. "Okay. I'll go with you." She said shyly.
"No fair! Mikado-sama, take us with you too!" As the Kawakami Academy girls on the frontline followed the two.
Tatsuko sweat dropped as she scratched her chin with one of her fingers. "Well, looks like I better finish the job." The blue haired girl said with her eyes closed. "Then I get to play more with Yamato-kun and his sister!" She said grinning. She loved fighting strong people too.
"Hold it right there!" A strong male voice said, stopping her in her tracks. Turning around she noticed a tall, broad shouldered, scruffy haired boy with a tiger striped bandana on his head pointing at her. Surprisingly, it looked like he had a chain attached to his neck like a pet dog to a group of girl students as if they were walking him.
"Ara…" Tatsuko said. Furinkan sure did have some colorful characters, why, she could still hear Angel protesting her molestation in the background.
Suddenly the scruffy boy put a hand behind his head and laughed. "Sorry, but uh... I can't let you get any closer." The boy said. "We have to win this so if you can just not ...attack that'll be really helpful!" He said with a shy bashful laugh.
"And you are?" Tatsuko asked politely as she prepared to charge at the boy.
"Ryoga Hibiki, but everyone calls me Ryoga." Ryoga said, looking the pretty girl up and down.
"Oh, well Ryoga, sorry, but Yamato asked me to do this." Tatsuko said, and charged at the pavilion, only to be shocked when Ryoga jumped up and easily knocked her to the ground with a backhand. 'Strong!' Tatsuko thought, opening her eyes in surprise.
"Ah! Sorry, are you okay?" Ryoga asked honestly. "I didn't hurt you too much, did I?"
Tatsuko wordlessly got up and sent a powerful punch at Ryoga's face, sending him crashing into the base of the hill that was holding up the Pavilion. To her delight, the fanged boy got up, looking none the worse for wear.
"Hey! Girl or not, I can't let you win, this is too important to me as a man!" Ryoga shouted as he stood back in front of Tatsuko.
"You…" Tatsuko said, looking at Ryoga. "You're strong." she said finally. Maybe this wasn't going to be as easy as she thought it'd be.
"Well..." Ryoga said, and was about to rub the back of his head in embarrassment when he sensed the blue haired girl's punch coming at him. Reflexively, he blocked it, catching it with his left hand, only to have her push him back. 'Strong!' He realized with wide eyes.
"I think I might have fun with you after all." Tatsuko said, and started to attack Ryoga full force. Her mission to crush the Furinkan HQ forgotten in lieu of her new playmate.
++++ Kawakami Academy HQ ++++
Yamato and Touma stood, mouths agape as the battle report came in, the Itagaki siblings' attack had been blunted, what's more, the majority of the girls in the group had abandoned their post!
"Wha- ha- How?!" Yamato wondered aloud, his voice clearly showing his bewilderment. His confusion only grew as he saw the dossier file on the people that they said had stopped the assault. He didn't think they would have played Ryoga this soon, but an even greater surprise was that the other two had made that huge of an impact!
"Even I couldn't have anticipated such a counter." Touma said, putting his hand on Yamato's shoulder and rubbing it. "It's like she knew their weakness beforehand and kept those cards of hers just in case you'd use them."
"But how!?" Yamato asked, rubbing his head. The deal he made with the Itagaki siblings was very secretive, Nabiki couldn't have found out, yet she did! "How!?" He yelled to no one in particular.
+++Furinkan HQ ++++
"See Missy, I told you the information was good." A beady eyed, worn looking man said as he rubbed his hands together shiftily.
"Hmm, so it was." Nabiki replied, nodding. Turning to her other lackeys, she nodded. "Chidori, pay the man."
Chidori, an unassuming, average looking girl who was well known as one of Nabiki's lackey squad, took out a briefcase full of yen courtesy of the noble house of Kuno, and showed it to the man, who eyed the money greedily.
"Thanks for the business Missy!" The shifty eyed man said before tipping his head and leaving her pavilion with the briefcase.
"Gyobu Shakadou," Nabiki mused, looking at the man as he left. "Selling out even your own family for some money." She pondered as she looked down at the portfolio on the Itagaki siblings. That was why she had Ryu Kumon so close to home. Say what you will for the boy, but he did have a nice ass.
++++ Kawakami HQ ++++++
"Well shit, do we have any forces in the area that can push forward?" Yamato asked, finally having calmed down as he eyed the map and saw a red block and a blue block facing each other in the midst of the battlefield, neither side appearing to be actively engaging each other.
"What is Kokoro Fushikawa doing?" Yamato asked, looking at Touma who was her classmate.
Touma for his part, adjusted his glasses and gave the brown haired boy a shrug. Turning on the communication that linked him to Kokoro, he listened as to what was going on.
"OHHHHHH HOHOHOHOHOHO!" An obnoxious sound blared out loud, causing the people in the HQ tent to stagger. "My grandmother was the aunt to Princess XXXX during the Heian era PEASANT!"
"What the hell is that?!" Moro said, looking fearfully at the speaker where the evil sound had come from.
" OH HO HO HO HO HO!" Kokoro Fushikawa's voice laughed with a just as nerve grating tenure to her voice as the first. "That is NOTHING compared to what my grandfather, who was the general to the army of Emperor XXXXX and married into the family, so he clearly outranks you, PEASANT!"
"What - what is this?" Touma, who always remained calm, exclaimed, clearly flustered as he never heard two evil and unpleasant laughs in such close succession in his life.
Only Hideo Kuki of the Kuki Conglomerate knew exactly who it was on the speaker, it was his worst fear come to life as they listened to the horrible laugh being broadcasted. If there was a hell, they were listening to it.
"Oh Ho ho ho -click-"
Everyone in the battle tent looked at Yamato who had his bangs over his eyes as he pressed the off switch. "We've lost Kokoro on the battlefield." He said in a flat tone.
'He totally abandoned her!' Everyone in the HQ tent instantly thought incredulously.
"Touma?" Yamato said, turning to his second in command and gracing him with a beaming smile as if he had not just tossed away an entire battalion.
"Uh Yes?" Touma asked, feeling a bit intimidated at how casually Yamato would throw away an entire force. He felt a bit guilty for abandoning his classmate in doing...well, whatever she was doing.
Yamato jutted his chin at the map. "Do you see?" He asked his second in command.
"Yes, they have pulled their forces from their rear to reinforce their flank and center lines." Touma said, seeing the weakness. "It's a small crack but I think we could take advantage of it provided we can move fast enough."
"I know just who." Yamato said with a grin before turning to the Kuki scion. "Hideo, I need to borrow your maid squad."
"And you have them." Hideo said immediately. "Finish this for the pride of Kawakami Academy!" He said, grinning.
Putting his hand to his earpiece, he signaled his own assassination squad hidden on the battlefield. "Miyako..."
+++++ Rear of the Furinkan HQ ++++++
'Ah Yamato!' Miyako Shiina thought as she moved speedily among the trees. She had just received her orders from the love of her life. She would make him proud and then he'd praise her! Pretty soon he wouldn't be able to help but fall for her charms, and then they would get married! She sighed dreamily.
"Come on, Yamato's depending on us." Christiane said as she ran alongside her rival in love.
"Che." Miyako said, turning away from the pretty blond with a pout. Too bad this girl was here with her as well! Now she couldn't shine like she wanted to.
"We will not fail, Hideo-sama." Azumi Oshitari, Hideo's personal maid/bodyguard said as she led the a small group of similarly dressed maids. Her skill in the ninja arts made her perfect for stealthy assassination missions.
"Che!" Miyako said again, clearly displeased with the group. How could she shine when an army of maids was here with her to help assassinate the leader! 'Yamato!' She wailed mentally before she stopped, and dodged quickly as projectiles rained down on their position.
"Whoever you are, you can't beat me that easily." Christiane said as she batted away all the projectiles with her sword.
"On your guard!" Azumi said as she adjusted the maid ribbon on her head and the rest of her group notched their bows and drew out their swords. She sensed a familiar presence, one that she had not felt since she left her village...
"I am sorry, but per mistress Ukyou's orders, you shall not pass." A figure all dressed in black like a ninja said as she jumped down to greet them.
"Ah, kunoichi!" Azumi said. No wonder that feeling was so familiar, she cursed herself for her laxity at letting a foreign ninja get so close to her.
The ninja in question pulled the shroud covering her mouth down, and smiled softly.
'She's pretty!" Christiane, Miyako and Azumi thought at the same time.
"Sasuke," The kunoichi said softly.
Another lump dropped down to the ground next to the pretty girl. This ninja was short and squat, not to mention ugly to boot. "Yes, Master Konatsu?" He asked obediently.
"What?! Master! Don't you mean mistress?" Azumi said in a lecturing tone. What kind of servant does not recognized the sex of their own master? 'Shittiest ninja ever.' She thought unkindly.
"I'm a boy." Konatsu said pointing to himself and watched as once again as people fell to the ground in disbelief. "Why does everyone always do that?" He asked genuinely.
'He's even prettier than Moro dressed up as a girl!" Miyako said in abject shock.
'Wow, so this is considered bishi in Japanese culture, right?' Christiane thought, looking at the Ninja boy. 'How wonderful~' She mentally cheered with stars in her eyes as she fell yet again deeper in love with the Japanese culture.
"How do you plan on stopping us with just two ninja against Hideo-sama's personal bodyguards and two of Yamato Naoe's own?" Azumi said imperiously to the two ninja.
Instead of replying, Konatsu simply put two fingers to his mouth and let out a sharp whistle, before he bowed to them and with a jump faded from view. Sasuke, the ugly looking ninja, followed him a second later.
The squad was alert and on their guard, ready to push on when they heard faint chanting and clapping noises growing closer.
"Be , aggressive! B-E-aggressive!" A sizable group of girls showed up, dressed in cheerleading outfits, made their way through the trees, headed by a pretty brown haired girl with a ponytail. "And like stop!" She said as she raised her hand up as soon as she came into contact with the assassination squad.
"Cheerleaders?!" Christiane asked incredulously.
"Come on girls! Let's show them our school spirit!" Mariko yelled as the athletic Furinkan Cheerleading Squad charged the maids, even as ninja stars and other projectiles rained down on them.
'Oh no' Miyako thought in horror as she returned fire with her arrows at the shadows and cheerleaders. 'We're pinned down!'
"CHARGEEEE!" A loud voice yelled as the tree that Miyako was leaning against came to life and tried to attack her.
"It'll take more than that, Kunoichi!" Azumi shouted in definace as her maid force engaged the cheerleaders. She easily cut a swath through the girls in her way, when she suddenly had to dodge a hail of shuriken. "You have to do better than that!"
As if in answer to her challenge, Konatsu dropped down and engaged Azumi, both using their shinobi arts.
'Azumi-san is engaged in combat, I have to help her.' Christiane thought, and moved to assist when her battle instinct told her to jump to the right. A moment later, a bullwhip staff passed over where her head had been destroying the tree in it's way with ease.
"Good reflex." A tall girl in a somewhat skimpy outfit said as she pulled back the deadly looking staff.
Christiane looked at the girl and saw that she was taller than most of the girls here, next to the girl was a shorter girl with a cute face, an extremely large pink ribbon tied into a bow on her head.
"My name is Kurumi Tendo, and this is my sister Natsume." The tall girl introduced herself formally. "Go and assist Tsubasa-san."
"Ok sis!" Natsume said and went to assist Nerima's famed cross-dresser.
"Christiane Friedrich." Christiane said as she held her fencing blade to her face in a formal salute.
As if prompted by some unknown signal the two charged at each other.
++++ Kawakami HQ ++++
Hideo tossed his headset on the ground as the report of the assassination squad came in. "Damn it." He cried out in frustration. "They've been stopped." He said, looking at Yamato.
Yamato, however, was looking at the screen, searching for any other way to turn the tide to his advantage, and to his amazement, found none. With all his cards played, that only left him with...
"It look like it's time." Touma said as he too came to the same conclusion as Yamato.
"Oh look, a cute little duck, what's it doing here?" One of the Academy girls squealed in delight as she spied the fowl that had just flown into their tent.
"A duck? Here during this season?" Touma said in curiosity as he too walked over to join the girls in observing the oddity.
"Duck?" Yamato said as his mind quickly noticed the conspicuous waterfowl. Synapses firing at light speed, Yamato's eyes widened as he pulled Touma back just as the first cries of surprise echoed in his battle tent. "It's a TRAP!" He shouted as dozen of non-lethal projectiles took out his command staff.
"What the hell is that duck doing!" Hideo screamed as he flipped over their wooden table for cover, just in time to repel some of the projectiles that the duck was somehow firing at them.
"It's not a duck!" Yamato shouted over the din of the battle. "His name is Mousse, he's from Furinkan!" He yelled, still keeping his head low.
"How is that even..." Touma asked as he pushed his glasses up and huddled next to the other two boys when they heard nothing but silence. "Huh?" He said, slowly peeking his head up and peering out to see their entire command staff unconscious.
Yamato looked at Touma, who shook his head when he didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Then he too poked his head up to see no sign of their feathery assailant. "Stay alert!" He cautioned as his eyes darted around, scanning the area.
"QUAAACKCKKK!" A duck quacked from above as it dropped down on the surviving three boys, its wingspan impossibly armed with killing weapons. "Quack quack quack quacckkkkkkk!" The duck quacked triumphantly.
"I AM A KING AND I WILL NOT LET SOME FOWL BEAT US!" Hideo yelled as he bravely tackled the duck in midair and pinned the bird down on the ground. "TOUMA! YAMATO!" He shouted as he found that the duck was impossibly pushing him off of it.
As if of one mind, the two boys pulled out their collapsible shock batons and stabbed the duck just as it broke free of Hideo's grip. "QUAAAKCCKKKKKK!" The duck cried out in pain before falling limply to the ground.
Sounds of heavy panting could be heard as Yamato gathered his wits. "Of course she would have an assassin waiting." Yamato muttered to himself, he had clearly left large gaps all along their battle line, enough so that Mousse in cursed form could slip in unnoticed. "Well played Ice Queen." He saluted to the duck with respect.
"Indeed." Touma said as he still looked at the trained assassin duck with something akin to curiosity. "Still, shall we?" He asked, looking at Yamato.
"Heh, I guess it was bound to end this way." Yamato said with a sigh. He walked out of the pavilion to see his sister groping some of their school's female underclassmen while Mayuzumi in her school uniform, Ageha Kuki in her form fitting white pantsuit and Tsubame Matsunaga in a Kawakami Academy girl's uniform like Mayuzumi, sat chatting to each other softly. The red armband on the latter three girls signified that they were part of his forces. His sister chose to tie a red ribbon around her left thigh, making even such a simple thing become quite sexy. This was his trump card, the Four Martial Arts Devas.
'They didn't even come in to help us!' Yamato thought angrily as he spied their respective sisters looking none too concerned.
"Hmm, Furinkan was not as weak as they appear I see."Ageha said as she sipped her tea, noticing Yamato's presence, before she turned to her brother. "You acquitted yourself well against the assassination attempt." She said levelly.
"Of course!" Hideo said, his chest puffed out proudly. "I am the king of this Academy after all! No assassin can kill me that easily!" He praised himself.
Yamato sweated as he looked at the byplay between brother and sister. 'Wow, I wonder if that's what it's like to be raised in that family.' He thought before shaking his head. His own family was twisted enough in its own way.
"What's the matter little brother?" Momoyo said as she opened her pretty red eyes, looking at her underling. For the fun of it, she groped one of the underclassman tighter, making the girl in her arms squeal. "Are things not going according to plan?" She asked in a manner befitting a king of old, her naturally sultry eyes boring into Yamato.
Yamato sighed, but at least he can honestly say he'd exhausted all his other resources before coming out here. "They have us in a stalemate and Ranma has yet to be spotted on the battlefield, I can only presume he's at their home base awaiting you, Nee-san." He said, seeing his sister's interest peak. Still, this didn't sit right with him, it didn't sit right with him at all, not for the first time, he looked up at her with fire in his eyes. "You're SURE you want the prize that badly?" He asked in a semi-pleading tone.
"Yes." Momoyo said with a grin as she turned look down to the two snuggling juniors in her arms. "Sorry ladies, but I have to go beat a down a cute pigtailed martial artist now." She said with a grin, and left the girls pouting as she untangled herself from them.
"Is it really worth it Nee-san!? Why don't you reconsider?!" Yamato asked- no, begged his sister. "Why do you even want to do this to yourself?!" He questioned, his voice sounding halfway hysterical.
"Because, I think it would be interesting." Momoyo said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, her grin turning down right lecherous. "Especially in bed with Ranma-chan." She said, grinning even wider.
Yamato turned around and faced the other three Devas with an accusingly hysterical look. "And you three, why are you going along with this! Do you know what she wants to do to herself?!" He half shouted.
"Hmph, what she does is no concern of mine." Ageha said haughtily, expertly flicking her hair. "However, she said she would owe me a favor if we help her win, and a favor from Momoyo Kawakami is priceless."
"I personally want to see this Jusenkyo magic in action." Tsubame chimed in before Yamato could turn to her." A male Momoyo would be ...interesting." She said with a grin.
"And you Yukie! What do you get out of this?" Yamato said with his finger extended as if pleading for any common sense.
Mayuzumi looked down and blushed, unable to meet Yamato's eyes.
"Oh, Momoyo said she would officially endorse you two as a couple if Mayucchi helped her win." Matsukaze, Mayuzumi's 'spirit' horse friend said.
"Don't tell him!" Mayuzumi said, covering the toy horse up while blushing hard.
"Don't be such a stick in the mud, little brother." Momoyo said easily as she got up and patted Yamato on his back. "With this I can be your Onii-chan, eh?" she said with a smirk.
"I don't want an ONII-CHAN!" Yamato yelled at Momoyo, only to have her easily dismiss him with her eyes as she continued on.
"Oh, and Yamato," Momoyo said as she went to the edge of the balcony with the other three Devas in tow.
"Hmm?" Yamato asked, still wondering why Momoyo was so crazy.
"You impressed me today." Momoyo said honestly, her voice taking on a softer tone. "If I wasn't already taken, I'd seriously fall for you." She said with a sly wink that caused Yamato to blush heavily before she jumped away.
Tsubame and Ageha shared a look and traded a smirk before jumping after Momoyo.
Mayuzumi bowed to Yamato shyly before she jumped after the other girls.
"Bah, my sister is lying." Hideo said, showing himself after the four Devas left. "While a favor from Momoyo would be valuable, it means nothing before the wealth of the Kuki Conglomerate!" He said, laughing arrogantly.
"Then why is she helping turn my sister into a man!" Yamato yelled at the class rep of 2-S, grabbing the rich boy by his collar as he demanded answers.
"Isn't it obvious?" Hideo looked to his friend as if he was stupid.
Now that Yamato thought about it, he recalled the two Devas smirking at each other. 'Girls are scary!' He realized. 'Ranma ! You are my only hope! Stop her!' He prayed.
"Although, despite Ranma's ability," Hideo said with a frown. "What are his chances against all four Devas?" He asked.
Yamato looked down, dejected. By herself Momoyo stood a pretty good chance of beating Ranma, it had always been 50/50, though he still held that first win over her, much to her ire. The three others would just be overkill. Momoyo wanted that Spring of Drowned Man water badly.
++++ Furinkan HQ +++++
"Stale-fucking-mate." Nabiki growled out, throwing her headset on the floor in frustration. "Where the hell are you, Ranma?" She asked as she knew that she had played all the cards in her arsenal. Which meant that Yamato would be using that girl next!
There was only one reason and one reason alone why Nabiki was leading the charge of Furinkan. Money, lots and lots of money. The odds maker had Furinkan at a 1000-1 chance of beating Kawakami Academy. She hated to say it, but they were better. Then they let them recruit from outside of their school, and that had changed everything. In order to ensure some of Ranma's stronger enemies came to Furinkan's side, she'd added a prize to this tournament, a prize that Tesshin Kawakami had endorsed. That prize was the unused casket of Spring of Drowned Man originally intended for Ranma as a wedding gift.
However, she'd made a grave miscalculation, as she never realized that Momoyo would be interested in such a prize, and if there was anything that could be said about that girl, it's that she was someone you simply do not want to have against you. Fortunately for them, they had Ranma. Only he wasn't HERE!
"Argh!" Nabiki messed with her hair in frustration.
"Nabiki!" Yuka said as she ran into the tent. "Big problem!" She said while pointing outside.
Gulping, she knew that it could only mean that Momoyo and possibly Mayuzumi had been spotted on the battlefield. Which in turn meant that things had just gone from bad to worse for Ranma and herself. Techianlly she still had Copycat Ken in the win but he wouldn't be able to stand against Momoyo. Not many could. Walking outside Nabiki saw that the Furinkan forces were getting slaughtered easily by not only Momoyo and Mayuzumi, but also Tsubame Matsunaga and Ageha Kuki.
"Are you fucking KIDDING ME?!" Nabiki shouted in disbelief. "All four fucking DEVAS?!" She screamed hysterically. All that money, ALL THAT MONEY she'd bet with the odds against them. All gone.
"It's over." Nabiki whispered as she limply fell to her knees as the four Devas drew closer, annihilating any of her classmates unfortunate enough to cross their path.
Even with Ranma, she doubted he could handle all four Devas at the same time. "Fuck my life." Nabiki said, looking up at the sky just in time to see a military transport plane fly overhead. "Huh, no way!" She said as she saw the back hatch opening.
++++Kawakami HQ ++++++
Yamato was inconsolable even by Wanko, who was the last survivor of the battle with the fiancee brigade. To the 2-S men's surprise, Yuki and Lieutenant Margit had been taken out of the fight.
"She's gonna be a man, she's gonna be a man, she's going to be a man!" Yamato muttered softly, wild-eyed as he was curled up in a ball, rocking back and forth looking at the screen that showed his sister and the four devas as red blips tearing through the blue dots close to Furinkan HQ.
"Waaaahhhh! Onee-sama's gonna become my Onii-sama!" Wanko cried a river of inconsolable tears while hugging Yamato, much to Hideo's jealousy.
"She's gonna be a man, she's gonna be man, she gonna be a man!" Yamato continued saying hysterically as Momoyo's blip got closer to Nabiki's blue dot.
"WAaaahhhh AHHHHH." Wanko cried, pitifully burying her head in Yamato's shoulder. "ONEE-SAMA!" She cried out.
"She's gonna be man, shegonnabeamanshegonnabea- Huh?" Yamato's rocking back and forth stopped suddenly. Apparently, his abruptly calm demeanor also threw Wanko out of her self-pity as she also looked up. "Touma, what is that?" He asked, pointing to a large blip that had just entered their airspace and was closing fast in on Nabiki's location.
"Looks like a military transport of some kind." Touma said. "It's about to pass over our heads."
Yamato and Wanko looked at one another, before they shot outside with unheard-of speed, looking up at the sky once they'd done so.
"Where is it? I don't see it!" Kazuko said as she swiveled her head back and forth.
"Should be on top of us in just a couple of seconds." Yamato said, also looking at the sky, hope being rekindled in his heart. A small hope, yet a hope nonetheless.
VRRRRRRRRRRRROMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
"Look there! I see it!" Wanko said, pointing at the grey plane as it flew over their heads with the back hatch open. "Is that-!" She said in surprise.
"Yes!" Yamato said as he jumped up in exhilaration. Not only did he see the plane, but more importantly he'd seen what was inside.
++++ On the battle field +++++'
"Haaahhh!" Momoyo shouted as she sent yet another wave of Furinkan soldiers flying into the air as she walked ever closer to victory. "Come on out now Ranma, no more hide and seek. Come on and let me beat your cute ass down." She said with an evil grin as she continued to scan for any signs of the pigtailed martial artist.
"You monster!" A brown haired boy charged at her. "I'll get off one hit at least! For Furinkan!"
"Oh?" Momoyo said as she grabbed the tip of his weapon easily with two fingers. With a flick of said fingers, she sent the boy flying away. "Brave of you to challenge me, but foolish. Only one man in this world can match me." She said imperiously as she continued her scan, making sure that Ranma wasn't trying to sneak up on her with his Umi-sen-ken.
"Any signs of Ranma yet?" Ageha asked as she cautiously made her way through the Furinkan army. The plan was simple, stay in formation with the other three Devas as he would no doubt try to use the Umi-sen-ken to take them out one by one.
Thanks to Cookie, the robot have been emitting a high pitch sound covering a five mile radius that only felines could hear that forces them to abandon the area. The downside was that something on that scale took a lot of energy so he have been immoblied otherwise Momoyo would have had the Mark Five piloted by Yamato fighting along side her.
That one time with Ranma in Neko-Ken was shocking to say the least she couldn't even touch him .It took her grandfather and her to physically stopped him before he damn near tore their city apart during the Tachibana incident. No trump card for him this time, when he appear, the other three Devas would home in and destroy him.
"No sign here." Tsubame said as she casually swept a student's legs out from under him before she flip-kicked forward, knocking out his attacking partner. "Ranma-kun! No more hide and seek!" She announced cheerfully to the surrounding area.
"Th-there's their headquarters!" Mayuzumi said shyly in the presence of the other three Devas as she pointed at the Furinkan pavilion a short distance away.
Momoyo was so close to victory. 'I always get what I want in the end, Ranma.' She thought mischievously as she casually batted another Furinkan student away. 'And what I want is some of that awesome shape-shifting fun!' She thought gleefully.
"This is it, let's crush them." Ageha said, smirking as she obliterated a group of Furinkan boys that charged at her with casual ease. 'And turn you into a man so Ranma will be repulsed by you!' she mentally added gleefully.
'You might be too exotic for his taste, Ageha.' Tsubame thought deviously, seeing the Kuki Conglomerate Heiress's expression. 'A pure uncursed Japanese girl like me would make a better fit for him.'
'This is our big chance!' Both Tsubame and Ageha thought evilly from behind Momoyo.
Momoyo looked at the two cackling girls and shrugged. They were too transparent, she'd once offered Ranma a chance at a foursome with the two girls, and was actually amused by his reply.
'His reaction was so cute!' Momoyo grinned as she recalled how flustered he'd gotten and went on to lecture her about propriety. Not only could he fight her like a real man, not only could she get to share the lovely chaos in his life, but she also got to pick on him too! She'd hit the perfect trifecta! Maybe after this she might force the issue with him, besides, she needed more bodies to test her new form on, and the other two Devas would be right up her alley. Maybe even Margit, she wasn't stupid, she'd seen the German girl eyeing Ranma also. 'So fun!' She thought blissfully once more.
VRRRRRRRRRRRROMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
The sound of the plane made all those present glance up.
"Hey, isn't that plane flying a bit low?" A Kawakami Academy student asked.
"Yeah, they're breaking regulations for sure." A Furinkan student replied.
As the plane flew past the battlefield, they saw that the back hatch had already been opened, a figure could be seen inside.
"Ranma?" Momoyo said in mild surprise before her face took on an amused expression. "Oh ho, so you weren't even on the field of battle." She said with her hands on her hips, pouting at the fact that she had been tricked so easily.
++++ On the Military transport, moments earlier ++++
A blond broom top U.S military colonel in his combat fatigues was standing by the rear of the plane with a group of boys. He slowly looked to the leader, the black haired boy with the pigtail, dressed in a white Chinese shirt that was cut off at the sleeves, showing off his arms and black kung fu pants. The boy had just finished putting on a blue armband around his neck, letting it hang loosely like a bandit mask and was in the process of handing out similar objects to the people with him.
"We're here, you sure you won't need these parachutes?!" The colonel shouted over the loud engine noise at the boy as he pointed at the parachutes laid up against the drop pad.
"We'll be fine Gillie!" Ranma yelled to the American colonel as he hit the door on the hatch. Instantly a loud blaring alarm accompanied by a rotating red light echo through the entire plane.
Gillie was one of Momoyo's old challengers that she had completely destroyed, and when he learned from Ranma what Momoyo intended to do, there was no way that as a man he could let such a travesty pass. So helping Ranma with the transportation and delivery of these unique individuals was the least he could do.
Ranma grabbed the hanging handle bar on the plane to brace against the wind turbulence as he watched the back door of their transport open, illuminating the previously dark cargo hold. "You guys ready?!" He shouted to the people behind him without looking back.
"We get to see titties and have tea with girls, right?!" Lime and Mint asked, holding Ranma to his promise.
"Yeah! Lots of tits and girls for you to enjoy!" Ranma shouted back as he braced himself from the high winds. "Getting your ass beat, however..." he muttered softly.
"And you sure you won't betray me and take the water for yourself?" Herb, the dragon prince of the Musk, said dangerously to Ranma.
"I told you, it is ALL yours, Ryoga's and Mousse's provided we win this battle!" Ranma shouted loudly as the plane's backdraft grew louder. "You have my word!" He yelled louder as the hatch fully opened, making his hair and pigtail whip wildly around his face. Looking at his companions, he too could see their clothes fluttering from the sheer force of the wind.
Herb nodded as he knew Ranma to be very honorable. "Then we shall achieve victory!" He shouted to the pigtailed young man.
"Would someone shut that fucking NOISE OFF!" Taro said out loud in annoyance. "That shit is fucking up my hearing!"
"Calm the fuck down!" Ranma shouted back. "Remember our deal, you help me with this, I'll get Happosai to change your name!" He shouted.
"You better!" Taro threatened over the deafening noise.
"I will!" Ranma shouted back. Being the Heir of the Anything Goes school, he could change Taro's name himself, as Taro had never read his birth certificate. Happosai had never put down his name, he simply wrote 'Master of the Anything Goes school' . Well it just so happened that he was said master now that Happosai had certified him.
"THERE'S YOUR L-Z! GOOD LUCK RANMA!" Colonel Gillie shouted and gave the pigtailed boy a thumbs-up.
"HERE WE GO!" Ranma yelled, and with a running start jumped out of the plane with his arms wide open.
"Lime!" Mint said as he jumped on the larger boy's back. The larger boy then ran and jumped out of the plane cannonball-style.
"Idiots." Herb said as he simply walked to the edge and stepped off.
"This'd better be worth it!" Pantyhose Taro said as he jumped off the same way Ranma did.
"Crazy fuckers." Colonel Gillie muttered before closing the hatch.
++++ On the battlefield ++++
Nabiki looked up, and for once hope was rekindled in her eyes.
Momoyo also looked up with a smile. "Oh Ranma." She said, grinning as she saw the other four objects that had dropped with him. "You brought some friends." She said gleefully.
Ageha , Tsubame and Mayuzumi looked up to the sky as they felt the raw power coming in from above them.
The five objects suddenly slammed down into the earth and rocked the surrounding area as dust blinded everyone's vision at the center of the impact.
"Kami Kaze no Jutsu!" Momoyo yelled, and with ease created a wind attack that cleared the dust. "Welcome back lover." She said seductively as she saw Ranma crouched down as he braced for impact.
"HOLY SHIT! She got big titties Lime! Look LOOK!" Mint exclaimed, pointing excitedly to Momoyo's chest, who in response to his observation proudly jutted them out even more.
"You are with this shameless woman?" Herb said as he stood up to reveal himself, commenting on this brazen beauty. Instantly around him, girls had hearts in their eyes from his exotic look. "What's so great about big, oversized breasts anyway? If you ask me big breasted girls are no good." He said, remembering his bad experience at having big breasts of his own.
Momoyo, Mayuzumi, Ageha, and Tsubame all glared at the prince of the Musk. They were proud of their assets, and here he was putting them down!
"Whatever, so that's your girlfriend eh, nice." Taro said blatantly, lasciviously checking out Momoyo." Her friends aren't bad either." He said, also checking out the other girls.
Ranma casually smacked Taro upside his head and glared at him. "I brought you here to fight, not fucking commentate." He growled. He then turned back to Momoyo and smiled at her fondly. "So...seems like you and me had the same idea." He said evenly.
"Looks that way." Momoyo replied in an innocent tone, but the grin on her face showed that she was anything but. "Didn't feel like having a long drawn out battle huh?" She said with a smirk.
"Oh any time." Ranma said as he walked out of the crater flanked by his companions and stepped closer to Momoyo. "However, some things are just too important to risk." He said, looking at her.
"How did you even get them to help you, from what you told me you aren't exactly their favorite person in the whole world." Momoyo said with a knowing grin, looking at the newcomers. Ranma had apparently brought a lot of firepower, that was fine by her as it just made thing a lot more fun.
"Oh it wasn't easy, but I called in a few favors, made a few concessions, you wouldn't believe how many people want you to stay 100 percent girl." Ranma replied with his trademark cocky grin, even as he got into a fighting stance and talked to the guys behind him. "Take them down!"
"Talk about getting cock-blocked. " Momoyo said with a put-out expression before tilting her head to face her allies, her face full of joy and happiness as she charged at Ranma. "Girls, Let's show them what the four Devas are made of, shall we?"
There was a powerful crash as some of the most powerful fighters in the world engaged each other in savage combat. The combatants around them from both schools had to stop their own battles and get out of the way from the super martial artists' far more destructive fights.
"Hey, isn't she the one known as the Warrior Goddess of the four Martial Arts Devas?" A Furinkan student asked, pointing at Momoyo.
"Isn't he the one they call the God-Slayer of Furinkan high?" A student of the Kawakami Academy questioned, seeing Ranma for the first time.
"The Warrior Goddess vs the God-Slayer, huh?" Nabiki commented with a slightly awed tone. "I'm betting on you, Ranma." she said as she turned around and made for a safer place, aka one away from the battle.
As the super powered martial arts battle raged on around the assembled fighters, Momoyo and Ranma ignored it all in favor of battling one another, both never taking their eyes off of each other. Sharing nearly identical cocky grins, the two, despite being a couple, traded full power blows, neither side going easy on the other.
'I am so glad I met you." Momoyo thought as Ranma punched her so hard in her face that she could feel her skull rattling. She then returned a powerful knee to Ranma's chin before firing a powerful ki attack into his gut, sending him crashing into the woods. 'Thanks to you, I get to have so much fun! Seriously Ranma- ' She thought as she and Ranma met each other midway, again trading vicious blows. '-I love you.'
The END!
FINAL NOTE: Annnndddd We're DONE! Thanks for all for reading and once again a big thank you to all my editors. Special mention to Van who was with me from start to finished. You worked relentlessly on this fic man, seriously, thank you!
As most can see this is the final epilogue that tied up what I wanted to tell. I will not be writing any sequel nor do I feel like writing it at all at the moment. If someone would like too they can and if they like for me to help them out with it I would be more then happy as for me personally? I will stop it here . There is a general outline of things I can see happening and maybe down the line when I am feeling it again it might be possible. I already have a couple of cut scenes that I couldn't throw anywhere in the story itself that I might possibly post somewhere down the line, I guess it could be titled chapter 11 but really it's just scenes I cut since it didn't fit anywhere within the main narrative.
Once again, this story came about because I decided to write a martial arts romantic comedy, something light short and sweet. Nothing deep or heavy. After reading the manga and watching the anime I was pretty surprise that Majikoi did not get any fanfic love. Appalling! I didn't write it to be the first, the idea of crossing the two and pairing up the two making them match skills was the main driving force behind me creating this fic. I just wanted to see it on paper. I hope I did well enough there were some bumps along the way but it should be enough.
The epilogue itself for me was something I written quite some time ago, most of the fic I wrote within a week before each chapter was polished then went into the editing process. Those editors once again stepped up to the plate and cleaned this fic up immensely. However the Epilogue was really something I was quite excited about even as I wrote it. As the reviews and feed back kept pouring in about "what about this from the Ranma verse." Or "What about this from the Majikoi verse" I keep grinning ear to ear as I felt that this chapter answers most of those question.
The two universe to me would blend in quite well. THe focus as presented to me from Majikoi was Momoyo while Ranma is well of course Ranma. So I had to had the two stars introduced us slowly to their respective universe before showing the rest in my finale. As many have guessed time have passed lots of stuff happened. There are plot points and hooks everywhere that could be flushed out in this epilogue. I myself do not have the energy to do it, but all the plot points are there for those that would like to try.
For me, I just wanted to show a who's who's of both respective universe and matchup I thought would be fun or make sense. The scene where I have Momoyo groping girls is what she do and flirt but it's a habit she might be trying to kick. Likewise the battle for the Spring of Drown Boy was of course the cause of this hence the timeline was before the failed wedding. I wanted that casket. While Herb and Ranma might be up there, Taro min and lime would be below the other three but Taro can switch form and even up the odds. Tsubame is a speed time, Aghea is a balance fighter, Mayuzumi is a speed sword fighter. Momoyo is a all around balance type but with more in terms of strength. So Five vs Four should still be balance, one thing's for sure, Momoyo would absolutely revel in it. Other matches up with how margit was taken out was that she was damage from figthing kuno. The whole thing is a big mess but a chaotic one, Ranma and Kawakami style.
And yes I decided to make Herb preference small breast base on what I saw in the manga. Gillie also appeared in the manga I just kinda elaborated more on him. Yes there are more character but so does Majikoi. That is for the next writer to figure out how where and when :D
I always felt disappointed that I didn't add a lemon but again I am not a lemon writer. Now could it have killed the flow? Probably but the lemons would be for the Majikoi fans as we all know what's up with that right? Whoever writes it I wish you luck! I always felt that if I was able to write that lemon just for kicks and giggled I would titled it "Seriously, Storm of Love." Cause we all know what's up with that don't we ? ./wink wink nudge nudge.
That beings said, I would like to personally thank people for leaving such encouraging reviews on this fic itself. I was surprise by it's popularity genuinely, I thought with like maybe 10 majikoi cross over fic out there and 10 pure Majikoi story that people would pretty much be lost. The response was more then overwhelming and I humbly thank those that not only read it but left feed back, pointed out what's wrong and generally made me a better writer. Seriously Thank you.
Like all stories, it has to end, I chose to end mine here but I hope that there would be more Majikoi /Ranma fic or just Majikoi /whatever for me to read. When all is said and done.
For the final note. I would say, All Final C+C are welcome all Final Reviews is appreciated.
Oh and on that final note, here's a little something extra and yes, it's canon. Muwhaha.
Extra Scene:
"So thirsty!" Happosai said as he stumbled across the prize area for the current battle raging on. It was then that he leaned against a big wooden casket. "Hmm what's this?" He asked as he peered inside the casket.
"Oh, a barrel of water!" Happosai said happily, having found something to quench his thirst. "Ah, then it shouldn't hurt me to have just a sip then."
With that the three hundred year old grandmaster of the Anything Goes school popped open the lid and crawled inside, too bad he never bothered reading the sign that was on display. One that said Water from Spring of Drowned Boy.
THE END FOR REAL!
