Author's Note: Alright, I know that many of you out there would rather have me finish my Feelings series, but I would rather have a blue see-through electric guitar instead of a regular blue one, but it ain't gonna happen!
This is just an idea that came to me after reading Ranma fanfics for 3 hours in a row...

Disclaimers: I don't own Ranma 1/2, Rumiko Takahashi does...

When All That's Left Is Hope

It was just another day in Nerima, Japan. Ranma and Akane were on their way to the school. Ranma, like usual, running a couple of feet above Akane on the fence. And, like usual, they were going to be late if they didn't really, really hurry.
They were in so much of a hurry that they didn't even notice the quick brightening and fading of the sun while they were running. Of course, they wouldn't since everything was still exactly the same as before, just a slight bit quieter.
When they reached their school, they were surprised to find that no one had been waiting for them to challenge them. Smiling to themselves for the good fortune, they began to stroll up to the door of Furinkan High School.
They were a couple of yards away from the door when they saw eight shadows over their heads getting larger indicating that they were falling.
Ranma and Akane looked up to find that Kuno, Mousse, Ryoga, Cologne, Shampoo, Ukyou, Kodachi, and Happosai falling towards them.
Just before anyone could touch them, Ranma and Akane both jumped skillfully out of the way.
"Violent, pervert girl going to die today! Ranma belong to Shampoo!"
"Prepare to die, Ranma!"
"OH-HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!"
"Ranchan will be mine, yet!"
"Son-in-law, you will marry Shampoo!"
"How dare you force my beautiful goddess into anything?! I will save my love!"
"I will release Shampoo from your evil clutches, Saotome!"
"Oh, my Akane! My dear sweet Akane!"
"Whaddya think this is about?" Ranma whispered to Akane.
"How should I know?" Akane replied. "But if they want a fight, they've found one!"
"I can't take them all on at the same time..."
"Who said you'd have to?"
"Wha...Wait!"
Before Ranma could say more, Akane ran (flew is more like it) at a random fiancée of Ranma's.
All Ranma could do was the same to a random guy, or a ghoul.
To anyone watching, they would have seen a really good show. Akane taking on Shampoo, Ukyou, Kodachi, and (fending off of her chest) Happosai; while, at the same time, Ranma taking on Kuno, Mousse, Ryoga, and Cologne.
Unfortunately, no one was around to see it. This would have normally amazed Ranma and Akane if they weren't both fighting four people at the same time.
Akane wasn't sure if she could fend them off for long, but when she felt like she couldn't go on anymore, she felt something inside her snap...She felt like she was remembering something from many years ago. Suddenly, she could move faster, anticipate incoming moves and punch and kick harder.
In no time at all, Akane had everyone down. Ranma had everyone down except the old ghoul until he felt the same thing that Akane had felt only moments before and knocked her unconscious.
"Well, it looks like there is hope for this planet after all." Came a booming voice that seemed to come from the sky.

Author's Note: Ok...One extra author's note! I need pre-readers for my stories because if I don't, I think that they all suck which means that you people miss out because I don't post all of my stories...Please, I don't care how many, I want at least one! Arigato!
