Disclaimer—I don't own any of this… it is not mine. Yes, it's a Ranma 1/2 , Run Lola, Run cross!!
The ball is round. The game lasts 90 minutes. That's a fact.
Everything else is pure theory.
Run, Ranko, Run.
Legend of the Writers, Part 2
Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.
Ranma turned around to see herself in the middle of a run down and unfamiliar room. The phone is sitting, there on a table in the middle of the disheveled room.
Ranma picks it up.
"Ryoga? Is that you? What the hell is going on?"
"Damnit, Ranma, this is all your fault! This is what happens when you challenge the authority of the Writer! Now we're knee deep in shit and if we make it out alive, I'm gonna kill you, slowfully, painful—"
"Make it out? How do we make it out?"
"How the hell should I know? All I want to know is, where the hell were you?"
"Where the hell was I? What do you mean? Last think I remember each of us had a Midori after us… Ryouga, what the hell is going on?"
"Do you want to know what's going on, Ranko, dearest?" Ryouga said venomously, "Because the Writer wills it, we are in some lame story. And worse of all, it's my ass on the line!"
"If it's your ass, why the hell should I care?"
"Because, RANKO, if you don't play out the story as the Writer wants you to… worse things are going to happen!"
"What worse thing would this 'Writer', if he is in fact a writer, put us through? AND STOP CALLING ME RANKO!"
"I CALL YOU RANKO BECAUSE THIS STORY CALLS FOR YOU TO BE RANKO! As for what worse 'the Writer' could put us through; do you really want to know? I say play is stupid little game so we could all get on with our miserable little lives, so I can kill you like I'm meant to! Now shut up before you get the both of us in any more trouble. Tell me, where were you?"
There was a moment of silence over the phone. Finally 'Ranko' answered, "My moped was stolen…"
'When the hell did I get a moped?' thought Ranko, 'AND STOP CALLING ME RANKO!!!'
Sorry, Ranko dear… not gonna happen!
"Anyway, what does that have to do with anything?"
"BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T THERE!"
"Why not?" Asked Ranko simply.
"BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THE STORY IS SUPPOSE TO GO! YOU WEREN'T THERE SO I LOST THE LOOT SO SOME ASS WAD IS GONNA KILL ME!"
"Why don't you just kick his ass or something," asked Ranko lazily.
"Because that make the point of this story MOOT, ass hole!" Ryouga said, emphasizing moot, and ass hole.
"So who is this bad guy that's gonna kill you?"
There was a moment of silence over the phone, "Ryouga? Ryouga, you there? Who's gonna kill you?"
Still silence… until, "Kuno, alright? It's Kuno who's gonna kill me!" More silence, "Well?"
"HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!" Ranko started laughing hysterically over the phone, "Kuno is gonna kill you? Damn, this writer can't be too smart if this writer expects Kuno to beat your sorry ass! HA HA HA HA HA!! And to think, I was almost worried there for a moment!"
"Damnit Ranko! This is serious! If the Writer wants Kuno to kill me, HE'S GONNA GODDAMN KILL ME, and without me, YOU can't get home!"
That stopped Ranko in her tracks, while gritting her teeth. "Fine," she said between the gritting, "Why is he trying to kill you?"
"Well, everything went according to plan"
"Plan? What plan?"
"Damnit, Ranko! We don't have all day! If you don't know what's going on, at least pretend to!"
"Fine, whatever… go on!" replied Ranko, impatiently, I might add….
"Like I said, everything was going according to plan… We drove the cars there, and gave it to those guys."
"Wait a second, drove what cars where and gave it to what guys? And why did you do it?"
"Damnit Ranko, that isn't important! I don't know where we drove it and I don't know who those guys were."
"Then how did you get there and why would you give it to them!"
"BECAUSE IT'S PART OF THE STORY! DAMNIT, WILL YA JUST TRUST ME ON THIS?"
"Fine, you gave these guys some cars somewhere…. Then what happened?"
"Well, they paid and that was it."
"That was it?"
"No, there's more!"
"Then why did you say 'that was it'?"
"BECAUSE IT'S IN THE SCRIPT?"
"I didn't get no script."
Ryouga growled, "RANMA!" Ranko decided not to remind him to call her Ranko.
"Fine, they paid and that was it!"
"That wasn't it! Then I got waved off the border, they dropped me off out there, then this weird guy finished in no time and gave me the money!"
"I'm not following…"
"I got money."
"oh, how much?"
"About a hundred thousand!"
"A hundred thousand what?"
"I don't know… but there was a hundred thousand of it."
"So if he gave it to you, what's the problem?"
"THE PROBLEM, RANKO IS THAT I LOST IT?"
Ranko slapped her head—of course he would do a thing like that!
"Not like that, see, after you didn't show up-"
"That wasn't my fault! I just turned around and here I was!"
"STICK WITH THE STORY!"
"Fine, I wasn't there, I'm sorry! Does that make you feel better?"
"RANKO!"
"what?"
"JUST FOLLOW THE FRIGGIN' STORY LINE, WILL YA?"
"Fine, I didn't show up? So what?"
"Well, because you didn't show up, I had to take the subway!"
"Ohhh, the subway, scary…"
Ryouga decided to ignore that, since if he didn't they'd probably be arguing forever. "RANKO!!!!" I SAID RYOUGA IGNORED THAT!
Ryouga seethed, but said, "While I was on the train, there was this bum who fell down. As I helped him up these inspectors arrived. And I got out like an old reflex."
Ranko was exasperated, "the bag…"
"the bag."
"the bag."
"the bag."
"the bag."
"the bag."
"What about the bag?" asked Ranko.
"I LEFT IT IN THE TRAIN!" yelled Ryouga.
"you dumbass, only you would be stupid enough to leave a bag full of money on a train with some bum."
"So now what?"
"You're suppose to come up with 100,000 in 20 minutes and get me out of this jam."
"ME? YOU'RE THE IDIOT THAT LOST THE BAG!"
"AND YOU'RE THE IDIOT THAT PISSED OFF THE WRITER, SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET THE MONEY, SOMEHOW!"
"And how am I suppose to get the money, eh p-chan?"
Ryouga grinned, "Why don't you ask 'Papa'?"
Before Ranko could retort, the phone clicked and went dead, "Damn." She said.
"Fuck, if I'm suppose to come up with the money… I better get a move on it before he robs that shopping center." There was a pause, "Wait a sec, what shopping center?" Another pause, "Fuck, the idiot forgot to mention if I don't get there in twenty minutes he's gonna rob the shopping center!"
"This is fucked up… majorly." As Ranko said this, she threw the receiver in the air, making it flip around and around before it landed on it's cradle.
Ranko ran out of the room, slamming the door. She ran through the apartment passing her mother drinking herself to an early grave, "Ranko, if you're going shopping, pick me up some Shampoo!" Nodoka yelled, before getting back to talking on the phone, "Of course I knew that Sagittarious was your ascendant."
"Sure, the more I think about it… I don't know… yeah, but you're married too…"
As Ranko was running down the stairs, she immediately started wondering why she was running down stairs. So she lept out the window onto the street, cause it was faster.
Ranko ran down the street as fast as she could, she turned a curve, almost running into a mother with her child, "WATCH OUT, you bitch!" she yelled after her. Ranko just kept running.
Ranko ran through the streets, and over a bridge. Her red hair waving in the wind.
Meanwhile… at Genma's office…
"It's worse at night," she said, "I wake up and can't fall asleep again. And then I'm afraid. Me! Afraid of the dark! I've never been afraid of the dark. I've never even been afraid before. But I think about us…And I jus think that it's going to keep on going on like this… and you wouldn't dare…
"And then I ask myself what am I doing here? How long will this go on? The secrecy, all this damn lying? Should I grow old, waiting for a man who won't stand by me?
Ranko was running down the street, running as fast as she is meant to. Turning around corner, running through a herd of nuns. Then a familiar looking purple haired delivery girl came riding her bike next to Ranko. "Nihao, Airen! Shampoo sell bike, yes? 50 marks? Could give for free, yes? In exchange for date?"
"No, Shampoo, I'm suppose to run or something. The title said so?"
"Title? What Airen mean? Airen no want to date Shampoo?" Shampoo started going teary eyed.
"Shampoo, later ok? I'm a bit busy now!"
"Ok, Airen date Shampoo later. Remember, you said you date Shampoo!" She said, as she ran past Ranko.
"Good grief what now?"
Ranko kept running, a car pulled out of nowhere, but Ranko luckily dodged the car MR. Tendo was driving before he ran into another car. Three big sumo wrestlers got out of the small Honda.
And Ranko kept running, until she got to her father's office building. "A bank? That worthless panda rug is working in a bank?
Inside the bank…
"I have to go, Tendo will be in at any minute! Can we meet later on?" Genme said while lovingly stroking Kodashi's face.
"Do you love me?" asked Kodashi.
"Why are you asking me now?" asked Genma.
"Do you love me?" asked Kodashi again.
"Yes, I do, damnit" I just love your money, Genma said that last part to himself silently though.
"Then decide!"
"Errr, not yet," Genma was visibly sweating, "I have some stuff to take care of. Lots of busy stuff to do! Yep! Got bank stuff to do, with Tendo! Good 'ol Tendo!"
"I'm pregnant!"
Genma went visibly pale.
Ranko ran into the bank, only to be stopped by Mousse in a guard's uniform, "Hey look at that! Our little princess, Ranko. What a rare pleasure!"
Ranko grabbed Mousse by the throat and lifted him off the ground, "Open up, duckie! I got no time to play games!"
Mousse punched in the combination and opened up the vault to the offices. Ranko dropped Mousse and ran down the hallway. Mousse was trying to catch his breath.
"Tell me, do you want to have a baby with me?" Kodashi asked Genma
"I er.. ummm… well you see… "
Just then Ranko burst through the door.
"Ranma my boy! So good to see you!"
I said RANKO BURST THROUGH THE DOOR!"
"Ranko my girl! So good to see you!"
Kodashi's eyes went wide, "That peasant is your daughter?"
Ranko looked from Genma to Kodashi, then back to Genma.
"What the hell is going on here pop?"
"Why, nothing Ranko dear. Kodashi here is from the board of trustees, or something like that. We were just having some sort of business discuss—
"I'm pregnant, and Genma dearest is going to be the father! How does that make you feel, peasant? HO HO HO HO!" Kodashi laughed right out the door, while steam could be visibly seen rising from Ranko's hair.
"What are you doing here?" asked Genma.
"what am I doing here, JUST WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE YA FAT SLOB!"
"Ummm.. nothing?"
"Yeah, right, it's what you're best at! We'll talk about this later, Right now I need some money!"
"Money?"
"Yes, Money!"
"Why should I help you?"
"Because I'm your son! For once in your life, try to act like a father!"
"Err… Ranko…"
"Because I'm you're daughter! For once in your life, act like a father!"
Genma nodded, "Come with me, I'll help you!"
Genma took his daughter by the arm, and led her out, "You know, this is the first gig where I'm actually doing good for myself, and now you're asking me to just up and give that up. For what? You haven't even explained it to me yet? You think I'm just gonna up and give money?"
"You haven't even asked me how much I wanted!" Ranko exclaimed!
"It doesn't matter! I got money here, so you can just get lost!" Genma pushes Ranko out of the steel enforced door, "Moose, escort her out!"
"DAMNIT, OLD MAN! YOU THINK A FEW FEET OF STEEL IS GONNA KEEP ME FROM RIPPING YOUR—
"HEY! Follow the script! You only got 5 minutes left! I suggest you stop Ryouga from robbing that shopping center!"
"Hey, You're not suppose to know about the shopping center!"
"It doesn't matter! You got 4 minutes left! BYE BYE DAUGHTER!" Genma said as he closed the steel enforced door.
Ranko looked at Mousse.
Mousse looked at Ranko.
"Well, I guess we all got our bad days," Mousse said.
"No shit!" said ranko before she started running again, nearly running over that old ladle lady as she left the bank.
And so Ranko ran. She ran and she ran. She ran and she ran and she ran.
Yet all of her running just wasn't enough, because by the time she got there, Ryouga was already in the shopping center. Ranko looked at her watch, "that ass! He went in early!" She still had two more minutes!
Ranko yelled through the shopping center window, "Ryouga, you idiot! I still have two more minutes left!"
"Damnit, I was bored, ok? I didn't have anything else to do since the beginning of the story! I had to do something!"
"So you decided to rob the shopping center?"
"I had to get the money somehow!"
"What? You didn't think I could get the money?"
"Did you get the money?"
"Well, no…"
"Fine! Now I'm gonna get the money! Then we pay Kuno and appease the Writer and everything will be ok!"
"FREEZE!" a security guard had his gun trained at Ryouga, "Put your hands up fast! Move it!"
Ryouga just looked down the barrel of the gun.
Ranko came up behind him and smacked him across the head. She reached down and grabbed his gun. "Don't move!" she said.
"You got the safety on, baka!"
"How the hell am I suppose to know? I'm use to fighting with my fists, damnit!"
"Just pull the lever on the side!"
Ranko pulled the lever, and the gun accidentally went off. Missing the officer, but not by much.
"Ok! Nobody move!" She said.
"Ranko, Cover me while I go get the cash!"
"Moron! If you go get the cash, I'll probably never find you again!"
"Fine, you get the money! I'm getting tired of this story!"
"Fine!" So ranko went and got the money. And the both left running out of the shopping center. They ran down the street and through an alley, only to be cut off by the police. They quickly turned around to run back, when cops closed in on them.
"Damnit, Ranko, this is all of your fault!"
"FREEZE!" yelled out an officer.
"My fault, porky? You're the moron that decided to rob a damn shopping center at gun point! What the hell did you expect to happen?"
"If you hadn't—
"If I hadn't pissed off this writer guy again? How many times are you gonna throw that in my face!"
"Because it's all your fault!"
"FREEZE! PUT YOUR HANDS UP AND SURRENDER NOW!"
Just then Ryouga tossed the bag full of money up in the aire, whether he through it up there because he was giving up, frustrated, or pissed is anyone's guess. But as he through it up, a first year rookie cop discharged his firearm…. Hitting Ranko straight in the chest.
Ranko was perpelled backwards from the force of the blast, before she hit the cold hard pavement. "No! it… it can't end like this!"

"You got the safety on, baka!"
"How the hell am I suppose to know? I'm use to fighting with my fists, damnit!"
"Just pull the lever on the side!"
Ranko pulled the lever, and the gun accidentally went off. Missing the officer, but not by much.
"Ok! Nobody move!" She said.
"Ranko, Cover me while I go get the cash!"
"Moron! If you go get the cash, I'll probably never find you again!"
"Fine, you get the money! I'm getting tired of this story!"
"Fine!" So ranko went and got the money. And the both left running out of the shopping center. They ran down the street and through an alley, only to be cut off by the police. They quickly turned around to run back, when cops closed in on them.
"Damnit, Ranko, this is all of your fault!"
"FREEZE!" yelled out an officer.
"My fault, porky? You're the moron that decided to rob a damn shopping center at gun point! What the hell did you expect to happen?"
"If you hadn't—
"If I hadn't pissed off this writer guy again? How many times are you gonna throw that in my face!"
"Because it's all your fault!"
"FREEZE! PUT YOUR HANDS UP AND SURRENDER NOW!"
Just then Ryouga tossed the bag full of money up in the aire, whether he through it up there because he was giving up, frustrated, or pissed is anyone's guess. But as he through it up, a first year rookie cop discharged his firearm…. Hitting Ranko straight in the chest.
Ranko was perpelled backwards from the force of the blast, before she hit the cold hard pavement. "No! it… it can't end like this!"
