Part 29: "The Great Gamma Game!" (Final)
Meanwhile, back at the Izumo Inn, everyone who was watching what was going on in the Dark Dimension sat in apt silence…
"That…was…whoa," Homura said.
"Ah!" Tsukiumi yelled in fright. "Minato-sama has become a monster!"
"Calm down, Tsukiumi-tan," Matsu said, as she adjusts her glasses. "You do know that Minato-tan can change his body to suit his needs, right?"
"But, what if he's stuck like that?" Tsukiumi said, now imagining Ranma as some demon lord, who sat on a throne made from the bodies of his enemies, while Tsukiumi herself was chained like a pet on a leash.
Not surprisingly, Kazehana was thinking the same thing, but for a different, more erotic, reason...
"Big Sister, I don't want Big Brother to be like that," Kusano said, as she gently tugged Miya's frock.
"It will be alright," Miya said, as she pulled her little sister Sekirei close to her. "Your Ashikabi has not failed to protect you, yes?"
"Uh, uh," Kusano said, as she shook her head violently.
"This…this is all Musubi's fault!" Tsukiumi said.
"How so?" Kazehana asked.
"She is far too differential to Minato-sama, that's why."
"Well, it doesn't matter now," Homura said, as s/he pointed to the television set. "The fight is about to start…"
Meanwhile, back in the Dark Dimension…
Super-Hulkma assessed his situation. He had managed to combine his "Super Ranma" form with his Gamma form, based upon how his wife Usagi had accidentally combined her goddess form, aka "Thordis", incarnation with her Gamma form. And now, the martial artist-turned-Sorcerer Supreme has done the same.
Super-Hulkma then took stock of the Dreaded Dormammu. The Lord of Chaos head burned like a flame, much like the head of the Human Torch or that of the Ghost Rider. Super-Hulkma also knew that while Dormammu was an arch-magus, his physical power was nothing to sneeze at.
"I must say that you are much more impressive than your predecessor, Dr. Strange," Dormmamu said with a smirk. "But you do know that out of the Lords of Chaos, in which you are a member of, I am by far the strongest, especially here in the Dark Dimension…"
Dormmamu notices Super-Hulkma's friends, as they fled away from the battle site.
"I wonder what you'll look like after I slaughter you beloved wife and her friends," Dormmamu said, as he was about to discharge a beam of energy from his fingers.
Suddenly, Super-Hulkma was in front of Dormmamu, faster than the dark lord of Chaos thought possible for one of Super-Hulkma's size.
BLAM!
With a solid punch, Dormmamu realized that he was careening out of control.
"What?" Dormmamu said in surprise. "How-?"
Dormmamu felt himself being grabbed by his feet, and then found his torso being wrapped around by Super-Hulkma's legs.
"Pile Driver," Super-Hulkma said simply, as, from a height of several stories up, he slammed Dormmamu into the ground, head first.
BOOM!
Super-Hulkma quickly leaped out of the way to assess the situation…
"Wonderful," Dormammu said, as he got up, almost unharmed. "I actually felt that…"
Suddenly, Dormammu flings his arms, sending out a volley of solidified energy in the form of daggers.
"Chaos Blades!" Dormammu yelled.
"Hiryu Shoten Ha," Super-Hulkma said, as he released a mega-powered version of the Dragon Rising Ascension. The blades were caught up in the tornado effect, gutting out the planetoid in the process.
FWASH!
"You like throwing sharp objects around Dormammu?" Super-Hulkma said. "Here's something I picked up…"
Super-Hulkma twirls his index finger around to create a disk made from energy.
"Destructo Disc!" Super-Hulkma yelled, as he threw the energy "blade".
FWOOSH!
Dormammu leaps into the air to avoid the attack, only to get a double-fist slam straight to his head.
BASH!
"Arrgh!" Dormammu yelled, as he careened back towards the ground. However, the dreaded one quickly righted himself and lands, causing a crater in the process.
THOOM!
"You DO know I happen to be a genius when it comes to martial arts, yes?" Super-Hulkma said with a smirk, as he floated down to where the dreaded one stood.
"Flames of Chaos!" Dormammu said, as he unleashed a torrent of flames that rivaled the burning sensation of the Amaratsu no Mangekyo Sharingan, which is said to burn hotter than the sun.
Super-Hulkma grimaced, as he felt the flames lick his body, he then noticed a distortion in the air behind him.
"Mass Change," Dormammu said, as he grew into a giant, and slammed his giant fist onto Super-Hulkma.
WHAM!
Growling, Super-Hulkma slams his fists into Dormammu's knuckles, breaking them in the process.
"Gah!" Dormammu yelled.
Super-Hulkma then leaped into the air, taking off like a rocket, and slamming his entire body, fists first, into Dormammu's face.
BLAM!
As Dormammu began to fall, Super-Hulkma then cupped his hand.
"Moka Takabisha!" Super-Hulkma said, as he produced a Chi Attack Sphere the size of a building.
FWAM!
Dormammu looks up to see the attack, and grabs it. Even though Dormmau was giant size, the energy sphere was bigger.
"Urk!" Dormammu said, as he tried to grab it, but had difficulty gaining leverage in order to throw the attack off.
"Humph," Super-Hulkma said, as he decided to utilize the more esoteric aspect of martial arts: jutsus. Although the term "jutsu" is usual referred to the esoteric techniques of the shinobi, it can be applied to any martial arts that utilizes physical, mental or spiritual energy as a means of pulling off an effect. Very few martial societies, such as the shinobi and demon hunters, can utilize two or all three bio-energy signatures in tandem in the form of "chakra". It is this format that allows the shinobi their mystical reputations, where jutsus are concerned.
And Super-Hulkma happens to know quite a bit about jutsus, thus qualifying him to be the latest Sorcerer Supreme…
Super-Hulkma clasped his hands, forming a series of mudra hand gestures, based upon the Eastern Zodiac, to create his first justu. To be sure, certain jutsus could only be created if the initiator of the jutsu has the in-born trait (called a "kekkei genkai", or "bloodline trait") to pull it off. However, Super-Hulkma, being an experienced Martial Artist, has never backed off from the challenge of pulling off what was supposed to be a kekkei genkai-based jutsu, even if the energy requirements were tremendous. That is how Super-Hulkma was able to learn the Musabetsu Kakuto's "Happo Yen Shiatsu", even though it was a martial arts technique specifically designed to create a living weapon; in this case, it was when the founder of Super-Hulkma's martial arts, the demented Master Happosai, turned a young girl into an energy leach.
TING!
"Deva Path of Pain: Chibaku Tensei," Super-Hulkma said, as she forms a black sphere—a gravity well—in his hand. He then takes the sphere, and tosses it towards Dormammu…
"RRRARGH!" Dormammu said, as he pushes Super-Hulkma's chi attack, even as Super-Hulkma's black sphere began to envelop the dreaded Dark Lord. "What-?"
The black sphere takes a hold of Dormammu, as the sphere began to rise in the air. At the same time, rock and dirt from Umar's kingdom began to gather together towards the sphere.
"No!" Dormammu said yelled, as he is buried in rock. He tried to discharge an attack to get himself out of his predicament, but to no avail.
"Yesssss," Super-Hulkma said with an evil grin, as he formed a small moon around the chaos lord. "As much as I want to finish this fight, I got to go after that bastard Tyrannus for forcing Yume to shoot my wife. So, in the mean time, have fun being this world's orbiting celestial body, Dormammu!"
"MMmmph-!"
With the sphere intact, Super-Hulkma jumped down unto the ground, then pushed off of Umar's realm, and knocks the small moon into a stable orbit. While still on the planetoid, Super-Hulkma created another jutsu: Nativity of a World of Trees. This technique was originally a bloodline trait created by a powerful shinobi master named Hashirama Senju, the first "hokage" of the Hidden Leaf Village. Thanks to being powered up, Super-Hulkma was able to recreate this jutsu multiple times at key points of his newly created planetoid, essentially stabilizing it into a life-giving sphere, but essentially entangling Dormammu in a sea of roots that would trap the chaos lord for a very long time.
"There," Super-Hulkma said, as he begins to power-down to his green form, his "Hulkma" guise, having both calmed down, as well as used up most of his energies in creating the planetoid. Hulkma could have tried to exact revenge on Dormammu for what he did to Yume, but, from humiliating the dread one was a much satisfying way to end his fight, since Dormammu would be perfectly aware of his defeat.
"Suck on THAT, 'Bo Jack'," Hulkma said with a grin, referring to an old foe who, like Dormammu, was entombed within an artificial planetoid by an alien known as King Kai...
Suddenly, Hulkma sees Umar's world become engulf by a huge explosion that cracks the planetoid in half. It must be noted that the Dark Dimension, while smaller than the Universe, was littered with small planetoids, each one ruled by a Lord of Chaos…
As Hulkma sees this spectacular display, he immediately sensed a great loss.
"Usagi?" Hulkma said questionably. Then, he extended his senses…
"Hulk," Hulkma growled, as he leaped off "Dormammu's Moon", and traveled back to "Umar's World", ignoring Dormammu's cries for revenge.
"I'll get you for this!" Dormammu yelled. He knew that if he attempted to escape his confinement, all the giant trees that "Super-Hulkma" had created would explode, which would surely kill him. The dreaded one would have to neutralize each tree before he could attempt his escape, and that could take years, especially since he was unfamiliar with jutsus.
"I'll get you if it's for the last time-!"
Meanwhile, Orochi-Moon was screaming, as her body reformed. Being converted into pure energy was a pain in the rear, but, at least the others were able to escape through the portal before the explosion engulfed the area.
"Ow," Orochi-Moon said, as she shook her head. She looked at herself, then at the landscape, which reformed after being consumed by the blast damage, and then at the fight between the Hulk and his wife Red She-Hulk.
"Hey!" Orochi-Moon yelled at the pair. "We don't have time for this-!"
"Usagi," said Red She-Hulkma, as she helped her wife up to her feet.
"Oh, NOW you acknowledge me? Got tired of being Umar's plaything, or something?"
"Sorry about all that," Red She-Hulkma said, as she reverted back to her green form. "She-Hulkma liked snoo-snoo too much."
"No kidding," Orochi-Moon said with a smirk, taking note that, unlike her red form, a green She-Hulkma had the disposition of a "determined bimbo". This was most likely due to how Ranma saw his girl form at times...
"She-Hulkma is sorry," She-Hulkma said bashfully.
Orochi-Moon sighed, as she takes her husband's hands.
"Don't worry about it, my darling," Orochi-Moon said. "I'm no saint, myself."
THOOM!
"More like a goddess," said Hulkma, as he lands near his girl guise and wife. "Or, a demoness."
"Ranma, you're okay!" Orochi-Moon said, as she goes over to Hulkma.
"Was there any doubt?" Hulkma said. "Now, what the hell is going on? I was dealing with Dormammu, then BLAM!"
"Those two is what is happening," Umar said, as she floated down to the three. She then notices Orochi-Moon.
"Princess," Umar said icily.
"Witch," Orochi-Moon replied likewise. "After all this, you got some nerve showing your face-"
"Usagi, not now," Hulkma said, as he turns towards Umar.
"You know, I'm hurt," Hulkma said, as he folds his arms. "You used me like I was just some 'sex object'."
"And the problem is…what?" Umar asked.
"Just saying."
"Well, I would like to say that you and the others who are participating in this 'Wishing War' are ruining my kingdom…"
"You BASTARD!" Red She Hulk yelled, as she decked her husband.
BAM!
"And here I was worried about you-!"
"It's not my fault!" Hulk said, as he grabbed his wife's head, and slammed her into the ground.
BLAM!
"The witch seduced me!"
"That's a likely excuse!" Red She-Hulk yelled, as her eyes glowed. "I expect Ranma to be the man-whore, not you-!"
"You know, I kind of resent that," Hulkma said.
"Well, putting your well-deserved reputation aside, I expect you to do something about THAT," Umar said, as she points to the so-called "domestic fight".
"Why should I help you?"
"You are the Sorcerer Supreme; your job is to keep balance in the cosmos, yes?"
"Yeah, so?"
"What do you think will happen if the Hulks rampage continues to go unabated in the Dark Dimension?" Umar said.
For a moment, Hulkma thought about what Umar was implying...
"Damn," Hulkma said. "That would mean that the denizens of this realm will end up as refugee in the normal one."
"Nothing gets by you, huh?"
"Ranma, we have another problem," Orochi-Moon said. "I sent Dracul and the others to deal with Tyrannus and Fin Fang Foom."
"Alright, I get it," Hulkma said, as he turned towards She-Hulkma. "You, are you ready to do this?"
"She-Hulkma, yes!" She-Hulkma said, already thinking about what must be done.
"Ranma?" Orochi-Moon asked.
"Me and other me will deal with Bruce and Betty," Hulkma said. "Go down to Earth, and help the others out."
"Right," Orochi-Moon said with a nod, as she realized something. "Um, I don't think I can get back to Earth."
"Pardon?"
"Well, I shut down the link between this realm and Earth in order to contain the explosion caused by Bruce and Betty's fight."
"Well, I'm already taxed as it is," Hulkma said.
"Perhaps, I can help?" Umar said.
"What?" She-Hulkma asked.
"I will help you and other you get the Hulks back to your realm, but you will have to pay a price."
"Okay," Hulkma said with finality. "We can have 'relations' over in that bush-"
"Oh, no. I'm mad that you wouldn't accept my offer of being my lover willingly, nor do I take kindly to what you did to my brother Dormammu. No, you will accept my curse for turning me down until such a time I am sufficiently amused."
"Whatever. I accept your 'punishment'."
"Good, because I don't want to waste my last wish," Umar said, as she closed her eyes. She then smiled.
"Done it," Umar said.
"What did you wish for?" Orochi-Moon asked with suspicion.
"You'll see…"
Umar then turns towards Hulkma and She-Hulkma.
"Well, get to it."
"Fine," Hulkma said, as he takes a giant leap. "Come, other me!"
"Okay, me!" She-Hulkma said, as she followed.
"I swear, Umar," Orochi-Moon said, as she turned towards her rival. "I will be watching."
"Oh, I am sure you will," Umar said, as she began to file her nails. She had wished that She-Hulkma would stay a distinct personality, and a difficult one at that, knowing that the only way the present crisis would get resolved was for everything to return to normal, including Hulkma and She-Hulkma becoming one person again.
(Author's Note: See the chapter "Stay Ranma!", in this story, for the rammification of Umar's wish.)
"So, you won't try anything else?" Orochi-Moon asked suspiciously.
"I'm satisfied for now," Umar said. "Besides, I still have Armageddon, Wendigo and the lovely Bi-Beast to keep me amused, while I rebuild my realm."
"I don't know if I like that."
"Well, too bad, Moon Princess. Too bad…"
And, that was that.
Upon returning to Earth, Hulkma, She-Hulkma and Orochi-Moon returned to Earth, with the Hulks in tow. Together, along with Dracul and Musubi, they all took a gamma-enhanced dragon, and a pair of mind-controlled, savage version of the She-Hulk and A-Bomb. Thankfully, although Tyrannus had held Amadeus Cho and Dr. Sofia Di Cosimo hostage at the same time, the crisis was ultimately resolved when it was realized that the Hulk, of all people, had one more wish left, basically restoring everyone back to normal. Well, as normal as one can be…
"Minato-san!" Musubi said, as she ran and hugged Ranma, who was trying to hold his over sized pants, which was stretched out of place. "You're okay!"
"Well, as okay as I can be, I guess," Ranma said, as he turned towards Tyrannus, who was being taken into custody by SHIELD.
"Well played, Centurion," Tyrannus said with a nod, referring to Ranma's days with the Roman Legion that served under Tyrannus, as he turned from Ranma, to Bruce Banner, who was hugging his wife Betty. "Funny how I am envious of Dr. Banner."
"Oh?" Ranma asked.
"He has a wife who is as enthusiastic about being a monster as he is…"
With that, Tyrannus is led away.
"That was…something, Boss," Dracul said. "I think I deserve a raise."
"Fine," Orochi-Moon said, as she rolled her eyes. "You can have one."
"And some time off?"
"Whatever."
"And an expense account?"
"Don't push it…"
"Well, other than the collateral damage in the billions, well done," Commander America said, as he and Director Nick Fury addressed the group. "And I thank Dr. Di Cosimo and Young Mister Cho for their assistance."
"Ah, all in the day's work," Cho said dismissively.
"I would definitely like to go back to the museum in Rome for some much needed rest," Sofia said.
"Saotome, we would very much like to debrief you on what has happened," Fury said.
"I would like to, but I am on a date," Ranma said.
"Funny, how you forget that," Jennifer said with a smirk, as she folds her arms, referring to the last time Ranma had forgotten to spend time with her on a regular basis. "You know."
"Um, well…"
"We'll talk later."
"Riiight…"
Ranma then took hold of his Sekirei.
"Musubi, hang on," Ranma said, as he utilizes the "Instant Transmission Technique", and disappears with Musubi.
"Well, will anyone tell me what happened?" Rick Jones asked. "I can hardly remember what happened in this stupid…Wishing War…"
A short time later, Ranma, now properly dressed, escorts Musubi back to the Izumo Inn.
"Well, it's hard to believe that our entire adventure was only a couple of hours in real time," Ranma replied. "But, I am sorry for what happened."
"Oh, don't be Ranma," Musubi said, as she smiles back at her Sekirei. "I had a good time."
"Oh, that's nice- wait," Ranma said. "You just called me by my real name."
"Yes?"
"And, you said 'I', instead of 'Musubi'."
"Yes. Musubi and I are one now," Musubi said with an enigmatic smile.
Ranma shook his head. If he was to guess, the Yume within Musubi was still self-aware, even after returning back to Musubi.
"Um, okay…"
With that, Musubi steps up and was about to kiss her Sekirei, when-
BAM!
"MINATO!" Tsukiumi yelled, as she grabs Ranma by the collar, and shakes him violently. "DON'T YOU EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!"
"Huh?" Ranma replied.
"We saw your adventures, Minato-tan," Matsu said.
"Oh."
"Are you going to be 'Hulkma' for our date?" Kazehana asked.
"Um, no…"
"A pity."
"But you have no problems being normal, right?" Homura asked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
"Big Brother!" Kusano yelled, as she hugs Ranma. "You're okay!"
"Yes," Ranma said with a smile. "I am…"
Meanwhile, Miya stood in silence, as she sees this display of affection. Inwardly, she was angry at Ranma for almost getting HER Sekirei killed. She ached, as she saw Orochi-Moon's body vaporized, and saw her Ashikabi scream before and after her regeneration. And, it pained Miya greatly, for she could do nothing to protect her beloved Moon Princess…
She wasn't sure if she should challenge Ranma for her beloved's protection. However, for now, she will hold her peace.
"Well, Minato," Miya said with a seemingly pleasant smile. "It seems that you had an interesting date thus far…"
Fin.
