Brothers of Old
Yo! Sorry for the late update here. I'll be sure to make up for it soon… hopefully.)
(Well, Enjoy)
Chapter 11: Youma Fight and Identities Revealed!
Ranma and Kyo ran through the roof tops going towards the screams.
"Hey Kyo, I think our search became a little easier." Ranma said pointing to the cloud of destruction that appeared, probably from a small building being crushed.
"Lets hurry before the youma hurts any innocent by standers." Kyo said as the brothers sped up to reach the youma. When they got there, they saw the beast and Ranma almost flipped.To their luck it was a cat, porcupine mixed creature, the key point being Cat.
"C-c-c-caaaaaat!" Ranma yelled, he was brought out of his shock with a fist to the head by Kyo. Ranma didn't understand why but when he looked past the youma, he saw a girl standing there with a sinister smile.
"Ahh so I finaly get to see the two meanies who destroyed my sweet servant." The girl said, "Now Kittypine(couldn't come up with a better name,) attack these two while I go find and destroy those damned sailor senshi!" she said as she disappeared.
That's when the senshi came.
"Halt youma! In the name of the moon, I'll punish you." Sailor moon said taking a pose.
Ranma, Kyo, and the youma called Kittypine had sweat drops forming on their heads.
'What is it with these people?' the brothers thought as they looked at the senshis.
'Wait a minute... I'm forgetting something important here' Ranma thought and looked over to see the youma standing there dumbstuck. He remembering his fears fainted.
"You idiots, if you have the time to do such a stupid intro don't say anything and get the fight over with!" Kyo yelled, "If I was a youma, I could have killed you 20 different times just on your first two words of your long winding speech!"
"Shut up! I need to get into the mood to fight my best." Sailor moon yelled.
"Whatever I got this youma. Be careful though, there was a girl that created this thing and wants to destroy you." Kyo said and looked over and gave the youma a good kick in the face causing it to yell in pain. The youma looked at Kyo and swung a paw with claws and needles extended. Kyo dodged it but then the needles flew out like missles. Kyo also dodged those just in time to see them impale themselves into a tree.
"Now this is going to be fun… Hey, Where's Ranma?" Kyo said looking around.
"Meow." He heard and looked towards his right to see Ranma in a crouch position.
'Damnit! He still goes into berserk mode. I hope he can control that soon or everyone here will die.' Kyo thought as he bent back to dodge a claw swipe by the youma.
In Ranma's Dreamscape
"What the hell am I doing in here again?" Ranma yelled out only to hear his echo's.
Not really wanting to be there, he walks around his dreamscape. After what seemed like an eternity. He saw a Mahogany Door. He slowly reached out and grabbed the knob and turned it. He gulped, 'Well, here goes nothing.' As he pushed the door, closed his eyes and entered. He opened his eyes to see an expanse of jungle.
"This is going to take a while to look for my neko-ken side." He said to no one in particular as he started in the jungle.
Outside in the real world
It was a mess! Ranma has killed the youma in the most gruesome manner. Currently Neko-Ranma was feasting on the innards of the youma as he continued to slash and hack at the parts that twitched. During the match the girl reappeared and were dealing with the senshi at the moment.
"Shit shit, shit, shit! What the the hell am I supposed to do!" Kyo Yelled as he couldn't decide to help out the senshi and keep Ranma open for provocation and kill someone, or stay and protect Ranma so no one actually gets killed by his brother's hands. This was a lose- lose situation.
"Come on Ranma! wake up!" Kyo said under his breath as he decided to do a mix of both. He decided to use ki-attacks to distract the girl enough to let the senshi do some damage.
Back in the dreamscape
'How long do I need to go on like this!' Ranma thought as he jumped through the tree tops. After a couple more jumps, he saw an opening in the trees. He jumped through to see a large tiled Fighting ring.
"I wonder why this thing is here." Ranma said to himself as he entered the ring. All of a sudden a barrier formed on the perimeter of the ring.
"What the hell's going on!" Ranma yelled as he ran to the barrier and punched it. It didn't break at all.
"Calm down Ranma." Ranma turned around to see Ranko on the otherside of the ring.
"Hey Ranko, Why is there a ring here? And what's with the barrier?" Ranma asked as he moved toward Ranko. As Ranma was about to tap Ranko on the shoulder, Ranko caulked back her fist and started to attack.
"What's wrong Ranko? What's gotten into ya?" Ranma asked as he continued to dodge the rapid punches that Ranko dished out.
"What's wrong Ranma? Can't handle the heat?" Ranko asked as she sweep-kicked Ranma off his feet and slammed her fist in to his stomach.
Back out in the real world
"You insolent worms I will kill you all!" The girl proclaimed as she rose up into the air. She, the senshi, and Kyo were injured badly.
"Shit! Can't keep doing this forever! Hey, can't you guys hurry up and defeat her or something?" Kyo yelled to the senshi.
"No! We can't get her to show an opening to attack." Mercury said to Kyo.
"Damn." Kyo said slamming his fist into the ground.
Suddenly Ranma screamed and with it a pillar of pure ki shot out of him.
"Such energy, he could be some use to me." The girl said to herself and charged at Ranma.
"No don't you don't know what he's capable of in that state!" Kyo yelled, but was too late. Ranma charged at her and brought out his ki- claws and in a blink of an eye, He cut off her right arm and made a big gash across her body.
"AAARRRRRGGGHHH." She screamed in agony. Ranma came back for another attack but stopped half way and fell on to his back.
'What the hell is happening with Ranma in his mind?' Kyo thought as he looked at Ranma.
In Ranma's mind
Ranma was sweating like crazy and so was Ranko as it has been to them several hours.
'Damnit I can't keep this up much longer. I don't want to hurt her but it looks like she isn't going to back down anytime soon.' He thought as she ran at him, jumped up and performed a heel drop.
"Come on Ranma! Why are you running away? Are you scared?" Taunted Ranko as she continued her assault.
That's when she hit a nerve.
"That's it! You asked for this!" Ranma said seeing red. He started his own attack.
'That's more like it Ranma! You'll learn there is more to this fight than meets the eye.' Ranko thought as she kept up her attack to match Ranma's, but was slowly being pushed back and going into the defensive.
Several more hours later
Ranko was tiring and barely hanging on to the fight as Ranma was still on the attack.
"And this is it!" Ranma said as he shot a right hook at her. She defended but the attack stopped and inch away from her and in the corner of her eye she saw he was going for her unprotected left side.
The kick had enough force to throw her out of the ring and as soon as she hit the barrier, it shattered.
Ranko coughed up blood as she tried to get up. But she felt ki-claws near her neck.
"Do you yield?" Ranma asked between deep breaths from the exertion.
She closed her eyes and sighed, "Fine."
Ranma smiled and withdrew his ki-claw and helped her up on to her feet.
"Congratulations Ranma, You have proven yourself now you will inherit my agility and grace. You will also have the sensitivity of a feline. Your hearing, and your sense of smell will be hightened and gain night vision. Oh and as a gift for breaking the barrier I'll tell you that the senshi are the girls you met at that shrine."
"How do you know about them?" Ranma asked.
Ranko face-faults, "You idiot! I live inside you! I shuld know what the hell is going on outside through your mind."
Ranma blushes out of embarrassment.
"Yeah, umm… How the hell do I get out of here?" Ranma asked.
"Just come the way you came." Ranko said. As soon as she finished her sentence, an unknown force pulled Ranma towards where he originally started.
Out in the real world
Ranma woke up on his back, he felt weird at first, then he heard many things an covered his ears in pain.
'Wow Ranko was right when she said what she said… does this make me cat-man?' Ranma thought as he looked at himself and saw blood all over his clothes and wiped his mouth to see he had blood on and in his mouth. He looked around to see the youma butchered and remaining innards flowing out and then saw a girl dying with a cut off arm and a big claw- like gash across her body.
"Ranma! Are you ok." Ranma looked to see Kyo running toward him.
"D-d-did I do this?" Ranma asked rather shakily.
"No it was your neko-ken side. So what happened in your mind Ranma?" Kyo asked trying to steady Ranma.
"I fought her and I guess I'm a cat-man now. Oh, and she told me the senshi were the girls we met at the shrine."
"What! I can't believe… Say what?"
"I said the sailor scouts are the girls we met at the shrine." Ranma said.
"You know what? We can Talk about this later. First, we need to deal with her.
The girl got up and floated in the air.
"You insolent fools! I know I'm going to die but at least I know I'm not going alone!" She proclaimed as she summoned up wings from her back and from them, tentacle like spear's came out and launched themselves at the brothers and the scouts.
Ranma and Kyo as well as sailor Jupiter, Saturn moon, and chibi moon dodged in time… well in moon and chibi moon's case, they got lucky and slipped in youma blood and narrowly dodged the attack.
"Rei watch out!" Ranma yelled.
"Ami-San!" Kyo Said with Ranma in tandem.
They rushed to help out the resopective girls. Ranma performed the umi-sen-ken and destroyed the spear before it reached Rei.
'I'm not going to reach her on time!' Kyo thought as he sped up to protect Ami. Ami screamed as she saw the spear reaching it's mark. She closed her eyes to wait for the inevitable… but it never came. She opened her eyes to see Kyo standing in front of her with the spear going through his heart and bent about half way to her and the spear head was buried into the ground.
'He used himself as a shield and bent it to steer it off course to protect me.' She thought.
"HA! Now I can die in piece knowing I have killed at least one of you!" the girl laughed maniacally.
"You really think so?" her eyes widened as looked to see the boy still alive.
"Man that hurt like hell!" Kyo said as he broke the piece of the spear sticking out of him and walked forward to get the rest out. With in moments, to the girl's amazement the injury was gone.
"B-b-b-but h-h-how? You still have the wounds I gave you!"
"Umm. I don't know how but the Regenerative effect seems to go only for severe and life-threatening injuries. Other wounds heal normally or I can accelerate it with my ki though." Kyo said letting his ki flow out of his body and over his wounds and they healed slowly and in minutes they were gone, "Well, hope you like your stay in hell."
"Damn you! When Queen Nehellenia hears about this you'll all pay!" She said as she disappeared in a flash of light. Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"Umm…Thanks Ranma for saving me." Rei said blushing lightly with a small smile on her face.
"No prob… You know what, you actually look beautiful when you smile." Ranma said giving her one of his lady killing smiles. This caused Rei to blush like a tomatoe.
"So…how long have you girls been doing this ami-san, Usagi san, Rei-san, Makoto-san, and Aino-san?" Ranma and Kyo asked them.
"How?"
"Let's just say my other self knew your identities." Ranma said.
"Hungh, I guess we have to go into another explanation about this don't we?"
"Yeah we do… but first what about them?" Makoto pointed at Ami and Kyo.
Ami was leaning on Kyo's left arm while she held his hand with her left hand while she put her arms around his shoulder.
"Thanks for saving me there Kyo, ae you sure your ok?" Ami asked as she brought out gauze rolls out of no where and started to bandage the wounds that Kyo missed.
Kyo rubbed his head, "I'm fine. I'm just glad you're alright."
That's when Ami did the unthinkable… she kissed Kyo square on the cheek. This caused both sides to blush deeply.
"I can't believe she did that." Aino said.
"Yeah. She even broke out in hives with just a love letter." Usagi said.
"Really?" Ranma asked. Evryone else just nodded.
"This is going to be one weird relationship with them…"
