Auther's Notes: With the consent of rewind gone nuts I am writing this as a Spin-off of his popular WAAAGH Ranma! Rewind is also the co-auther so I hope I can make this live up to his name
"Six months have passed, and finally the Ring of Chaos glows brightly enough with gathered chaos energy to bring Son-in-Law back." Cologne declared proudly to the occupants of the Tendo home. All had been informed to meet there. Ukyo, Shampoo, the Tendo's, Mousse, and finally Genma all sat around the Tendo's dinner table. Cologne slowly placed the ring upon the table before speaking to Akane. "The ring was given to you and you wished Son-in-Law away. Therefore, you must be the one to wish him back. Do you understand?" Cologne said with an icy tone of voice. Akane gulped and nodded quickly, reaching over the table to grasp the ring and slowly slide it onto her thumb. She looked at everyone, getting a slow nod from all of them except Mousse, who gave her a comforting smile of encouragement, causing her to blush lightly. "Well, here goes nothing" she muttered.
Akane took a deep breath and then spoke in a firm, clear voice. " I wish, I wish for Ranma to-
Ranma slowly dismounted his Wyvern and slowly looked over the battle field, smiling to himself. The fight had been long, brutal and bloody; every thing he and the boyz loved. The world was beginning to learn that none could beat his mighty WAAAGH!
" BOYZ! SET UP DA CAMP! TONIGHT WE FEAST! TOMORROW, WE MARCH TA DA LANDZ OV DA DEAD!" After roaring his orders loud enough for all to hear, Ranma walked into his tent and sat down to think. It had been two long years since he'd come to this world, and over the course of these two years he felt he had done more than he had in his entire life prior. He had long ago forsaken his former name of Saotome, in favour of the name of the being that had been a true parent to him. Gitzduffd Da Weird, the Orc Shaman who had guided him into becoming what he now was; Big Boss Ranma Da Weird of da Fikskulls. His thoughts drifted to Nerima and he snorted in contempt.
"Wishing me away was the best thing Akane ever did for me." He mused. Right about then he began to feel a strange, tugging sensation. As his eyes began to blur, a feeling of nausea rose up within him, mingled with a sensation like he was being pulled in three different directions at once. He closed his eyes and then felt the sensation change to one of being pulled across a distance. He opened his eyes to see he was spiralling once again through an all too familiar multicolored void. To his horror, he found himself heading towards a bright light, the extreme glare blinding him temporarily. When the glare faded, he slowly opened his eyes to discover he was sitting on a table with the Tendos, his Father, Shampoo, Cologne, and Mousse looking at him. "No!" was the first thought that screamed through Ranma's head as he looked around the room, shooting a cold glare at everyone present before speaking.
"Why'd youz bring me back?"
Cologne's PoV
I eyed Akane warily as she wished Son-in-Law back the ring glowed brightly and then a blinding light from it permeated the room forcing me to close my eyes. When I opened them again, there he was; Son-in-Law sat haphazardly on the table, glaring directly at me. I gaped in shock, wondering if my old eyes were deceiving me.
He sat there in leather armor reinforced with white scales, wearing gauntlets made of a dark steel engraven with strange runes and glyphs- they bore spikes upon the knuckles, around which electricity arced and crackled. Dark steel boots ordained with three spikes on the toes adorned his feet and finally he wore a crude skullcap- this bore a circle of horns around its rim, making it look much like a crown. As I studied Son-in-Law I noticed he had grown in size and mass, his features had matured and he was blood splattered and filthy. My senses registered an aura of enchantment pulsing around his gauntlets, his boots and even a crudely carved stone bracelet situated upon his right wrist. He looked at us all, and then finally he spoke.
"Why'd youz bring me back?" his voice was chillingly harsh. I tried to keep a calm unsurprised look on my face but on the inside I was nervous; this was a war-torn savage that sat before us, not the same boy that had left us.
Ukyo's PoV
When Akane had wished Ran-chan back I was ready to bound forward and greet him in the only way appropriate of his 'cute fiancee', but when the blinding light faded I was stunned and fixed in place.
His glare moved from Cologne to me and then to the others. I didn't know what to think, much less to say, of what I now saw before me. Ran-chan wore crude armor and an ugly helmet, he had grown much larger and much more muscular.
Then he spoke, his voice as cold as ice and harsh as his bloodstained armor looked "Why'd youz bring me back?" "I can't handle this." I murmured as my world turned black.
Mousse's PoV
I smiled at Akane as she wished for Saotome to return. I wasn't shocked or startled by the blinding light- Akane had told me about the first time, so it was to be expected. What did startle me was what greeted my eyes when I could see again. This wasn't the same Saotome I remembered. He looked older, more mature, and a lot more savage.
He was wearing crude armor -but it was far more effective than it looked if the myriad blood stains and slash marks adorning it were any sign of proof- and a crude stone bracelet, but his gloves and boots were what caught really my eye. They looked like they were well rounded for defence and offence, and something about them made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up in a manner strangely reminiscent of Elder Cologne. Then it came to me; magic!
I respected Saotome; I had done so even back then when I was blinded by Shampoo and by false hopes I had given myself. Now I had Akane and I knew that Mr. Tendo and the Saotome Elder were planning to give the engagement to Nabiki or Kasumi, so there was no reason to hate him now. But this Saotome, this Saotome scared me.
He turned his glare from Elder Cologne, to Ukyo, and then to me. It was harsh, icy, and almost bloodthirsty- definitely not like the Ranma I had known. "This was a bad idea." was the only thought running through my mind as he glared at the others before finally breaking the shocked silence.
"Why'd youz bring me back?" His voice was so cold, and his speech was so crude, this was definitely not the rival I had once known.
"What happened to you Saotome?" I thought, but I was too frightened to voice it.
Shampoo's PoV
When the light faded after Violent girl made her wish I was frozen in place at the sight of Airen; he wore funny armor and an ugly bracelet and helmet, he smelled bad and was all dirty.
"I'll have to give him a bath." I thought to myself, a faint smile appearing on my lips as my thoughts took on a decidedly R-rated train of thought. At least, until he turned his glare from Mousse to me, where upon such pleasant thoughts disappeared like frost beneath the ungentle caress of the sun. I was paralyzed, like a mouse caught in the gaze of a serpent, as he stared at me, only regaining my freedom when he turned that gaze upon the others.
"Why'd youz bring me back?" That was not the voice I remember Airen having, it was so cold so empty of emotion.
I felt the icy fingers of fear trace along my spine, and the fact that it had been my fiancee that had caused such feelings only made them worse. "This isn't Airen this is a mistake." I thought.
Nabiki's PoV
"I'm glad I managed to turn my video camera on for this- it'll be worth a fortune." I thought as little sis made her wish, the blinding light spilled from the ring just like she said. And when it finally faded away; there he was, but this was not the boy I use to blackmail, this man sitting on table was every bit as tall as Kuno-baby -maybe taller- and far more frightening. He wore a strange bracelet with odd glyphs on it, his armor was blood stained and looked well used, his glove caught my eyes there were spikes at the knuckles with electricity jumping between them. "Hmm, those might be worth something if I could-" my musing was cut short as his glare moved to me, then to the others.
"Why'd youz bring me back?" crude, not that Saotome's speech wasn't crude before but now it was worst.
"Things should be interesting again." I thought.
Soun's PoV
As Akane made her wish, all I could think about even as I was blinded by the light that spilled from the ring was "The schools will finally be joined!" And then I saw the boy. He stank of blood and sweat, and his visage was that of a battle-hardened warrior, streaked with gore. His crude armor was heavily worn and fit firmly against his now enlarged frame. He turned his glare from my dear Nabiki to me and I found myself actually too scared to cry and wine about how the schools would never be joined.
And then he spoke "Why'd youz bring me back?" his voice was so cold I thought, and then thought no more as I slipped into blissful unconsciousness.
Kasumi's PoV
Akane made her wish and the lights came from the ring. They would have been pretty if it hadn't hurt my eyes, but when I opened them I was startled by what I saw; there on my table sat Ranma and he was getting it all dirty- he was dressed in odd clothing and looked like he was coved in blood and dirt, he also smelled like he hadn't bathed in a while.
"Oh my, he's getting germs all over the place" I thought to myself and I saw him glare at my father and then turn to me, his eyes softened befor he turned to little sister to glare at her and then to Uncle Saotome. "Well that's not very nice." I thought to myself "And he used to be such a nice boy."
"Why'd youz bring me back?" his voice was mean but I think he just needed a hug.
Akane's PoV
" I wish... I wish for Ranma to return to us here at this table" I said in as clear of a voice as I could. I was happy, honestly; finally I could get this weight off my shoulders. The ring on my thumb let out the same blinding flash as it had when this had all stared, and when it finally faded there he was, but he was not as I expected. He sat on the table in what could be called a sloppy lotus position, he was a harsh visage to behold, dirt and blood stains leather and scale armor a weird bracelet, gloves and boots.
He glared harshly one by one at every one at the table except Kasumi. When his eyes came to rest upon me he snarled slightly before moving his glare to his father.
" This can't be Ranma." I thought franticly to myself. "This is a mistake- he's too tall, too muscular, too mean looking to be Ranma."
Then his eyes came back to rest on me and his voice came out like a hate filled thunderstorm "Why'd youz bring me back?"
"What have I done to you Ranma? Where did I send you? This is all my fault." I thought to myself.
Genma's PoV
Akane made her wish and a horrible blinding light came from the ring. I shielded my eyes with my arm and squinted to see if I could see my son; I know I wasn't the best of parents, but the boy was my son after all. And then the light cleared and I was shocked by what I saw.
There was the boy all right, but he wasn't the boy I remembered. He was tall and muscular, his eyes were fierce and hate filled as he glared at every one at the table one by one till they finally came to rest upon me. He looked at me for seconds that seemed to last for eternity, and then his gaze moved back to Akane as he spoke.
"Why'd youz bring me back?" his voice was harsher and had matured, it didn't hold the same child-like sound to it.
"What happed to you boy? And why the hell are your dressed like that? And why are you asking why we brought you back? OH WHY MUST I HAVE SUCH AN UNGRATEFUL AND DISHONORABLE CHIL-" My rant was cut short as he moved with speed I didn't remember him having, grabbing me by the throat and slamming me into the wall before holding me off the floor with one arm. "I don't remember him being this strong." I thought to myself.
Normal PoV
Ranma stood there, holding his father up with one arm, snarling at all others before he spoke
" I didn't want ta be comin' back. I woz happy dere, I woz important and respected." He then dropped his father and turned to Akane.
"Send me back." He growled
Linik: Well thats all for now, sorry it's so short I'll try to have the next chapter up soon. I hope this does justice to the Original WAAAGH Ranma! I've been a long time fan of Ranma 1/2 but only recently have I become a Warhammer fan. Any ideas of how this should go from here would be helpful, as well as any comment, Like it? Hate it? it'd be nice to know .
