Cybernetic Hell
by Zargreus
Ranma paced the small train cabin. He was indebted to the Hibiki's;. Akari and Ryouga. they had agreed to accompany him as well as pay his passage. He was happy to see Akari again. He had forgotten how much he missed everyone. A tear welled at the corner of his eyes as he remembered everything as it was when they were young. And then he thought of Akane and choked. He crouched and let the sad but pleasant memories of his wife and only love flood into his mind. her sweet smile. Her bitter temper her kindness and reluctant tolerance of him even in the worst of times. He stood and embraced the pain of his life and felt tires. He lied down across the small cramped seats and slept. There was a slight tremor but Ranma barely felt it and he soon drifted off into his dreams.

VV-GoZUNKGI stood atop the train and watched as the drop chopper left and allowed himself a smile. 'At last Akane would be avenged. The coward that refused to protect her was in this very train, and I will strike him with a righteous vengeance!' VV-GoZUNKGI flexed his Prosthetic muscles and examined his new gear. His claws would work perfectly and he gave a silent prayer to Herb, the Dragon God he now served. Mechanically enhanced muscles that coursed across his armored form glistened in the moonlight and he walked atop the top of the train. And finally he found him. The B.A. sensor picked up the attunations of Ranma's battle aura and VV-GoZUNKGI grinned maliciously and prepped the digging claws. 'At last,' he thought, 'We will finally see who is truly stronger.'

Ranma awoke as he was pulled through the air with an unimaginable strength and was thrown across the roof of the high speed train. Ranma grunted and glared at his attacker. Standing a good 6 feet this could be a challenge but he would be pressed hard for movement and room across the top of this train. Ranma quickly dug his hands in and threw himself into the air and tumbled. He was now a nice wide 20 foot distance from his attacker. The strange Being wasted no time it sprayed it's claws and made a dash for Ranma. The creature was big if not smart. Ranma didn't wish to disappoint his challenger and leaped forward catching the thing in a two foot kick in the face. He Jumped forward and around now facing the back of the beast. Ranma stepped back and took a defensive pose.
What he kicked was hard Plexiglas. probably bullet proof. That meant that this was a Com-Bot. one of Kuno's investments for his invasion.
Ranma grimaced. he didn't expect to be caught so soon. Let alone by a Com-Bot. The hulking Cyborg turned around and faces Ranma, and Ranma's blood ran cold. The same withdrawn eyes. The creepy grin the same slumped over posture.
"Hello Ranma. I should of remembered that. But as a result of my enhancements I am at a loss for memory."
"G-G-Gosunkugi?!?"
"I se you remember me Ranma. Now you die."
VV-GoZUNKGI leaped forward at an unimaginable speed and caught Ranma mid-breast with his talons. Blood was dragged out of the wound leaving huge gashes in Ranma's flesh. Accustomed to such wounds. Ranma was more struck with the shock of seeing this horrible mockery of what was a honorable (if stupid ) combatant. Ranma felt his anger grow. This was another of Kuno's thugs now. VV-GoZUNKGI rounded for another attack and Ranma vanished as it approached. VV-GoZUNKGI was puzzled. Suddenly the proximity alert sounded and VV-GoZUNKGI turned around to hit a blast of energy as Ranma's MOKOTAKA-BISHA Flying Air High Tiger Smacked into VV-GoZUNKGI and sent the cyborg spiraling. VV-GoZUNKGI flipped up to his feet, seeing Ranma's next attack, jumped forward and smashed Ranma's sternum with a cloths line. VV-GoZUNKGI smiled. 'At last I beat him,' he thought, 'nothing could survive the strength I hold focused in a blow like that.'.
Time seemed to slow as he fell to the train. And then he felt a shift. VV-GoZUNKGI turned his head to see Ranma had grabbed his arm and he saw Ranma's stone glare and for the first time in his life Gosunkugi felt the absolute fear of death. Ranma twisted his body and threw VV-GoZUNKGI underneath his form His foot placed firmly on its headpiece and crushed the cyborg on the roof his foot snapping the metal easily. Ranma grabbed VV-GoZUNKGI's broken form and tore the helmet off of it. He stared and the bleeding face of Gosunkugi's and shook it. The eyes opened.
"Why?" Ranma yelled into Gosunkugi's face.
The cyborg didn't answer.
Ranma lifted the hulking Cyborg and slapped the near unconscious Gosunkugi back into retaliate.
"WHY?" He yelled again.
VV-GoZUNKGI simply smiled and nodded his head toward the helmet. In small red numbers it read 15 sec.
Ranma turned to see the same number display on VV-GoZUNKGI shoulder. He starred into VV-GoZUNKGI face and he said on last word. "Akane."
Ranma was shocked and suddenly Ryouga's voice cut through the air.
"Ranma, MOVE!"
Ranma leapt out of the way as a SHI-SHI-HOKADEN Lion Bullet Roar blast crashed solidly into VV-GoZUNKGI. The broken beaten and rather surprised cyborg flew into the air.
Ranma and Ryouga watched as the self-destructed activated and a bright light bathed across the open plains. Ryouga was shocked.
"Is he... Was that... Gosunkugi? Did I ki..."
"I doubt it. He wasn't that easy in the old days. He will be back."

Somewhere in Hong Kong
A broken beaten hunk of metal and flesh fell out of the sky and smashed into a crowded street. The people gathered around it and leaped back in shock as it stood up. Scorched and dazed it looked around and fell back into unconsciousness.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Kuno Smashed his hand against the already splintering wood of his desk again. Miserable retch. He failed again. He entrusted Ranma the traitor and infidel to VV-GoZUNKGI and he failed. And that mistake would reflect badly. But now he had to report. there were many successes today. The forces are ready now they just needed the device.
Kuno gazed at his form in the mirror and turned and left his office to report to Herb, the Dragon's son, and leader of the world to be.
