Digital Dragon and Robster80 present...
DIGIMON GT
Part 12
Previously: Trunks, Mimi, and Yolei found themselves in the Tenchi Universe, where they came across the Masaki Shrine. After dinner made by Sasami, the Tenchi gang agreed to help find the missing Dragonball. However, bounty hunter Nagi found it first so Ryoko had to fight her for it. In the end, a clumsy move made by Mihoshi gave Ryoko the winning edge and the Dragonball was returned. That makes three down, and four to go...
The black pod carrying Gohan, Cody, Joe, Upamon, and Gomamon landed outside a nearby city in the dead of night, shortly before dawn. After landing, they exited the pod and turned it back into a capsule, which Gohan placed in his pocket. He then pulled out his Dragonball Radar and turned it on. "Looks like the ball's somewhere in that city," he said to his companions.
Cody saw a sign further down and pointed it out to the others. They walked over to it I order to read the letters. "That is the city of Nerima. Nice name."
"I wouldn't go there, if I were you!"
The three men and two Digimon looked to see an old man sitting on a rock beside the road. "Strange things happen in that city," the man continued. "It's mostly a playground for young martial artists with strange curses and inhuman strengths. One in particular is a young man named Ranma Saotome. That boy attracts women and rivals like flies to honey. Why just last month, his wedding to the young Akane Tendo was ruined by the men and women after them and nearly destroyed the Tendo Training Hall!"
Joe glanced at Gomamon and Armadillomon, then smiled at the old man. "We appreciate the warning, sir, but my friends and I have seen stranger things and faced bigger fights."
It was then that Gohan got an idea. "Say, this Ranma could be of some help to us! He must know every part of this city, or know someone who does. Let's go and find him."
The old man sighed. "Very well, but I warned you! You'll find young Saotome at either the Tendo Dojo or at Furinkin High School. And may the gods watch over you boys while you're in town!"
********************************************************************************
"RAAANNNNMMMMAAAAAA!!!!!"
Ranma sighed heavily. His plan to serve Akane breakfast in bed for her birthday had gone sour when she took it as an insult to her cooking. And mom said she'd like it if I made her breakfast! he thought as he ran, followed by Akane in her pajamas wielding her mallet.
"You get back here, Ranma, and face your punishment!"
"Akane, I was only making you breakfast since it's your-!"
"Since my cooking isn't edible, is that it?! Oooooooh, NOW you're gonna get it!"
Ranma continued to run around the house. He had thought their relationship was getting better since the wedding fiasco, especially after he chewed out Shampoo, Ukyo, and Kodachi for nearly killing Akane. He had never screamed at a girl other than Nabiki and Cologne, but those three had really made him angry that time. He even did it in front of Akane, who was ready to clobber either him or the girls, and shocked her. At least Kodachi took the hint and went after some other guy. That made things a little easier, but not much.
Akane was thinking similar thoughts. We were just getting closer than ever, and this had to happen!
"FREEZE!"
Both teens stopped to see a woman in a kimono, holding what was a katana blade in her hands. They both gulped before Ranma spoke. "Uh, yes, mother?"
Mrs. Saotome sighed. "Akane, I suggested to my son that he make and serve you breakfast since it's your birthday today, not because your cooking has... room for improvement."
Akane dropped her mallet in shock. Today was her birthday, and she forgot. "Oops! Uh, sorry, Ranma."
Ranma didn't look at her, but said, "You don't have to apologize for nothing, Akane." A loud cough from his mother informed him of his grammar error. "I mean for anything." He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a small orange crystal ball with five stars in the middle. "Happy birthday," he quickly said before walking away.
Akane watched him leave, then looked at her present. She felt terribly guilty about what she had done.
Nodoka shook her head. "It was my suggestion that Ranma cook you breakfast today, Akane. He was worried you'd take it wrong, and you just proved him right. I am sorry, but... if this keeps up, I will have to speak to Genma and Soun about engaging Ranma to Kasumi."
Akane wanted to shout out that Ranma couldn't marry kasumi, but she kept silent. "I understand, Mrs. Saotome..."
"Akane, despite earlier, you can still call me Auntie Saotome." Wrapping up her katana, Nodoka turned and walked off in another direction of the house, leaving Akane alone.
"I'd rather call you mother..." the youngest Tendo whispered to no one at all. Unbeknownst to her, a small, black piglet with a yellow bandanna looked at her sadly from nearby. So be it, it thought. I still have Akari... All that's left is to get Ranma and Akane together before I leave. Now, where's the bathroom?
********************************************************************************
Ukyo marched up to the Tendo's front door, determined to speak with Mrs. Saotome about her engagement to Ranma. She has to understand, she thought. Ranchan's rightfully mine, even though he doesn't know it. Suddenly, she heard a familiar bicycle bell ringing. NO! Not her! Not now!
A purple blur flew into the Tendo's front yard and stopped in front of Ukyo with a loud screech. The blur turned out to be Shampoo, the Chinese Amazon and another of Ranma's fiancees. She held a Chinese takeout box in her one hand. Upon seeing Ukyo, she frowned. "What Spatula Girl doing here?! Not to see Airen, Shampoo hope."
Ukyo returned the glare. "Actually, I'm here to speak with Ranchan's mother, my mother-in-law! So, butt out, you hussy!"
"Shampoo no 'butt out,' and Shampoo is no hussy! I Ranma's wife by Amazon law!"
The two girls engaged into a fierce glaring contest until a familiar and annoying voice caught their attention. "A good day to you, fair maidens!" Both looked to see Tatewaki Kuno standing before them.
"What do YOU want here?!" they both asked.
Kuno just smirked. "I am here to date the fair Akane Tendo, and if I must, I shall deal and kill the foul sorcerer Ranma Saotome!"
This made both girls even more furious. "YOU AND WHO ELSE?!?!"
"Uh, hello?"
All three looked to see Gohan, Joe, and Cody standing a few feet away, with Gomamon and Armadillomon hiding in the nearby bushes. Gohan spoke up. "I take it from the shouting that this where we could find Ranma Saotome?"
"What's all the racket out here?!" someone shouted from inside the house. The front door opened to reveal Ranma, who frowned at the sight of his two other fiancees and one of his rivals. He put his hand to his forehead and sighed in despair. "Oh dear sweet Kami-sama, not this again!"
Shampoo traded her angry face for a smile as she leapt up at Ranma with her takeout box. "Ranma, Shampoo bring you extra special deluxe ramen! You eat for her, yes? Before it get cold?"
Ranma looked at her hard. "Not even if I was dying of hunger, Shampoo! I don't care what your Amazon laws say, I WILL NOT MARRY YOU!! EVER!!!!!" As he said that, he gave her a cold stare that shocked her to the core.
Akane heard the shouting and came to see what was wrong, still holding the Dragonball. She frowned at he sight of Kuno, Shampoo, and Ukyo. Before, she'd be raging mad at Ranma for this, but since the wedding attempt she had slowly become more understanding. "Are you three here to cause Ranma and I problems AGAIN?! Just leave us ALONE!!" She then noticed the three new guys. "Oh, who are you?"
The Dragonball radar suddenly went of as Joe's eye caught the item in her hand. He pointed at her. "She's got the Dragonball!"
Kuno took offense of this, and drew his bokken. "I, Tatewaki Kuno, the Blue Thunder of Furinkin High and champion of the Furinkin Kendo Club, shall not tolerate such rude comments toward my beloved Akane Tendo! I challenge thee to a duel!" Everyone but him sweatdropped, even the hidden Digimon.
"This guy's loonier than Etemon," Gomamon cracked.
"I wouldn't know," Armadillomon replied. "I never met the guy and I have a feeling I don't wanna know."
Cody then noticed that Kuno had mentioned being a champion of Kendo, and got an idea. "Very well. I, Cody Hida, a fellow student of Kendo, accept your challenge. However, as you see, I am unarmed."
This made Kuno smile a little. "Ah, another disciple of Kendo! Very well, young one." He tossed a spare bokken at Cody, who caught it and took a fighting position. Kuno also stood ready to fight. "There shall be no interference by anyone! That includes you, Saotome!"
Ranma looked over at Cody, who said, "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing." The Pig-tailed martial artist nodded, but was still unsure about the fight. He then watched as Gohan walked over to him and Akane as the two Kendo students fought. "Are you sure your friend will be okay?"
Gohan looked at Ranma. "We've faced worse than this guy. Now, I wish to speak to you, madam, about the ball in your hand."
Akane's eyes went wide with horror. "No way! I am NOT marrying you because I'm holding this thing!"
Gohan facefaulted on the spot. "I'm already married," he exclaimed, holding up his hand and showing his wedding ring. "and that is not what that ball is for."
Shampoo and Ukyo secretly fumed. Oh drat! For a moment, it looked like Akane would be taken care of!
Suddenly, Gohan looked to see a flying bokken heading towards him, and caught it. Everyone looked to see Cody holding the end of his bokken at Kuno's heart, smiling. "The size of the dog in the fight isn't what counts," he said. "But the size of the fight within the dog... or so I heard Willis say."
Kuno was shocked and angry. "This... this is not possible! I say you cheated-!" He said no more as Akane quickly took Ukyo's battle spatula and brought it down hard on his equally hard head. He fell to the ground, out cold.
Joe looked at Akane, who suddenly reminded him of Mimi and her encounter with Sukamon. "Uh... does this sort of thing happen frequently?"
Ukyo glared at Akane. "Hey, you tomboy! That's MY spatula!"
Ranma walked over, took the now bent spatula, and shoved it into Ukyo's arms. "There's your spatula. Now go away, and take Kuno and Shampoo with you!!"
Shampoo threw her takeout box down and stomped over to Ranma. "Airen, Shampoo had enough! You come home with Shampoo and Great-grandmother to China and get married!" She then roughly grabbed his arm and was about to drag him off when Gohan grabbed her arm and shook Ranma free.
"Just a minute, lady! Who are you to decide who and when this guy should marry?"
Shampoo tore her arm off. "Is Amazon law! If male outsider defeat Amazon woman, they must marry. No exceptions!"
Ranma fumed. "Shampoo, my defeating you was an accident! You were fighting Akane and would have killed her, so I had to stop you! That I don't believe counts as beating you in combat!"
"Indeed it does not!"
Shampoo gulped as everyone looked to see Cologne, the aged Amazon midget, standing before them. "Shampoo, why did you not tell me this when you came home the first time?" Her eyes burned right through the young Amazon. "Do not answer! Because of your withholding of this evidence, we have wasted both time and enchantments here. We shall return to the Nekohanten and begin packing for our permanent return home at once! But first, one thing must be done." She faced Ranma. "You, Ranma Saotome, are hereby released from the Amazon kiss of marriage, and since you have trained under me, you are declared an official member of our tribe. I deeply apologize for any inconvenience I or my great-granddaughter have caused you. Farewell!"
Shampoo sagged as she followed Cologne out of the yard and into the street. She cast a sad glance at Ranma, who placed an arm around Akane before she did the same. This made Shampoo look away, crying softly. "Is no fair."
Ukyo glared at Ranma and Akane. "Is it okay with you guys that I speak with my future mother-in-law?" She said the last words heavily to annoy Akane.
Akane was about to say something, but Ranma held her closer and said, "No, but you may speak with my mother." He then looked at Gohan again. "Why don't we finish this talk inside?"
********************************************************************************
It took over two hours to explain everything. Gohan and his group explained about Digimon and the Dragonballs, while Ranma and Akane told about Jusenkyo and how everything went downhill for them ever since. Luckily, Nabiki was out of town, so she couldn't spy on them.
"So," Ranma said. "This one ball I found recently belongs to you guys. Is there anything else we should know?"
Cody nodded. "We need all seven Dragonballs to make an important wish. You see... a good friend of Joe's and mine... was killed by an evil Digimon. We want to ask the Eternal Dragon to restore him to life."
Akane absorbed everything. She almost didn't believe it all, but with what she had seen while being with Ranma, she couldn't argue. Finally, she stood up and handed over the 5-star ball. "Take it," she said. "I hope your friend will be okay."
Ranma nodded. "Same here. I know I'd be doing the same thing you guys are doing now... if I ever lost Akane." He didn't lower his voice when he said that last line, and he even smiled when he said it. He looked to see Akane stare at him in shock. "It's true."
Everyone smiled, especially Akane. Gohan and the others then stood up. "We'll take our leave now. Thank you both for understanding." They left quickly as Akane pulled Ranma into a kiss. They came out of the house and picked up the Digimon, got out the pod and got in, and then took off for home.
To Be Continued...
All done with this part! Sorry if this seems rushed. DD, it's your turn!
