Dance with the Devil
In mere moments the brawl of all hard-core battles was about to unleash, and to think it was all boiling up from a mere stare. Ranma fighting for the fallen friends and foes he's lost, and to rescue Akane. From the freakshow evil personality offspring from his own suffering and misery, Devil Ranma. The self righteous demon vigilante who took it upon himself to end Ranma's pain. Akane could only stare and hope as she watched her love approach.
The soft clap of Ranma's black shoes pad against the iron red bars of the construction cage, towering miles in the sky from the earth. Leaving the 3 of them alone in the city of steel. Devil Ranma had a sickeningly happy grin, a putrid pleasant smile. Smiling for all the wrong reasons, as well thinking for all the wrong reasons. For Devil Ranma is not aware of Ranma's intentions. "As I live and strangle for life if it isn't my other half, Ranma" he chuckled.
Ranma simply stared on with a cold lifeless face of serious frowns, "For once in my life I finally am truly happy brother" Ranma grunted at that. Yet still Devil Ranma wickedly laughed on "I must apologize for the attack dear brother, but I had to keep you safe. With the police aiming at me for my crusade, I couldn't have them harm you. Afterall I did this all for you". Ranma widened his eyes with a loud gasp, staring his widening black eyes.
Immediately he stomped forward demanding with rage "What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean you did it for me?", Devil Ranma smirked. "I freed you from them brother, I removed the pain and suffering from your life, I ended your misery. Don't you see don't you know, I destroyed your oppressors and enemies. Finally your life can live in peace without torment, each one of those heartless little sinners treated you like yesterday's shit.
But I, I have ended it all I took it all away. As they say Ranma let the punishment fit the crime, they put you through hell so I did the same. Each one of those scumbags suffered a far more gruesome death then the last, and now Ranma" Devil Ranma practically giggled with wild excitement inside. He truly was happy and excited to see his other half, he was totally unaware. The red clawed hand extended to Ranma's for a hearty shake, widening his smile.
"No need to thank me dear brother I did it for you, that's payment enough", Ranma simply stared at the floating hand at a loss for words or emotions. That quickly passed as Ranma snarled a barbaric growl as he reared back his fist, before crashing it into Devil Ranma's face. The colossal crunch of his nose & mouth, blasted the twisted twin's back to a cold hard steel beam. "THAT was my idea of payment and trust me expect the same to be harder".
The flash of shocking events stunned and shattered Devil Ranma, more then his busted, bleeding nose and crooked jaw pained him. His black eyes shivering with confusion and bubbling rage, slowly he spoke "Why? This.....this has to be a joke you can't seriously mean what you say". The closer Ranma got the more truth to his words Devil Ranma was seeing, Ranma coldly answered "Your God dammed right I'm serious freakshow".
Akane could only smile as her eyes filled with tears of joy, smiling even wider at the sound of her thoughts "YES I knew it, I just knew he'd come for me. Ranma is a brave and incredibly handsome hero, I'm just sorry I couldn't see it before" Devil Ranma straightened up sweat dropping with confused anger. He cried out to his copy "Explain NOW! Why the hell are you attacking me? I'm you, I'm apart of you. Is this anyway to thank me for all I did for you?".
Ranma flared his black hair and black eyes in a snap of pumping fury, rearing back a swift kick at Devil Ranma. The plowing impact crushed the devil's ribs and chest in mind numbing agony, weakly collapsing to his goat hooves. With a final grunt and stare Ranma explained his "true self", "Listen up horn head because I'm only gonna say this once. Your the worst part of my life. Of all the things that was created from my personality, why was it YOU?
You actually think I would come all this way here, just to thank your sorry red furry ass for all the slaughter and suffering you caused? WRONG I rotted in jail, losing my mind because of the lives you mercilessly destroyed. And all you did was enjoy every second you had murdering innocent lives" Devil Ranma winced and growled, his enthusiastic cheers were long gone. Obviously in his teeth grinding together, as blood poured from his face.
The suffering sin killer managed to gargle out some words "Innocent....BAH they mocked you, insulted you, tortured you....they.....fucking deserved it". Ranma simply ignored Devil Ranma and continued "Keep ranting smart guy, and keep on dreaming too. Everyone knows I ignore their stupid comments. I'll admit some have cut me pretty deep, but I would NEVER and I mean NEVER, kill or harm anyone just to get back for some petty shit like that.
If I did I'd only be lowering myself down to your pathetic murdering prick level, and that's a fate worse then death" Ranma's words truly struck cold. Devil Ranma was composed of the coldest feelings of depression, rage, anger, and endless seas of suffering and yet here he was. Taking verbal and physical beatings from his own half, wallowing in pain at HIS feet, HIS feet. Slowly but surely Devil Ranma reached onto his hooves to stand back up.
Ranma grinned "I knew you were made from half of me, but luckily not the better half. I got all the benefits of your half and all you got was the bad" Devil Ranma stomped a massive dent into the beam supporting the two, "What the fuck does that mean?" he hissed. Ranma smirked wider "In other words I could see everything and know everything you were doing outside. Since you were composed of just my darkside, you got half of a full being".
Akane smiled and was about to step towards Ranma but devil Ranma screamed and bared his blood claws at her. "D leave her out of this" Devil Ranma turned with utter disgust at his "nickname" for him, "Akane is not a prize to be won. She's the love of my life and if you want her, get me first". With a single stare of Ranma's ice eyes it was dead clear to Devil Ranma that a fight was inevitable, he laughed "Your right why prolong the grand finale.
This is the smack down everyone's been waiting for, and now we'll finally see who's the better half of Ranma 1/2" (Sorry I had to make that pun ^_^). Immediately Akane backed up as far as she could in the bar enclosed area, Ranma punched his fist at the beam above him, causing a Bo staff sized steel bar to fall. Quickly aimed it like a weapon, Ranma leered for Devil Ranma. Both combatants broken from the same mold, yet only one will survive.
"Now" both cried out as they leapt at each other's throats, disappearing in a mad brawl of a battle. Flashes of red claws and bare fists clashed like the thunder sparks of lighting. Akane could only stand back and try to grasp a clean view of the battle, but the battle was too fierce and fast to follow. Devil Ranma screamed and slashed a mad barrage of his red devil claws at Ranma, who easily countered and blocked each blade with his twirling steel bar bat.
A scream erupted from Devil Ranma as his claw was jammed in an arm lock by Ranma, he then swung the bar forward and bashed the devil's face in. Continuing the mad assault a swift kick tripped the goat hooves long enough, for Ranma to use a tackle into his twin's stomach. The powerful blow plowed Devil Ranma back first into a steel beam. Ranma pinned his throat with the bar to the beam, perfectly locking him in to pummel out his face senselessly.
"The ancient technique of chestnuts roasting on an open fire, taste good freak face?" Ranma all too eagerly mocked the down devil. With a double slash Ranma screamed and collapsed face up, Devil Ranma had slashed his legs. Cleverly hiding his claws under the bar to jam them into Ranma's thighs, immediately tossing the bar off his neck. Devil Ranma uppercuted Ranma. Drawing blood of a bone snapping jaw breaker, then fire balling his chest.
A scream of fire and fried flesh boiled Ranma as he toppled to the floor, he gasped as he slipped and slowly fell towards the off edge. Thinking fast Ranma jammed the steel bar on the beam, with his arms holding the sides. Hanging dangling like on a monkey bar, as Devil Ranma descended down. "Your time has come Ranma HAHAHA" "Then it's time to go into over time bat boy" Ranma forced his weight to flip/fly from the bars into a twirl flip.
Just as Devil Ranma flew past the bar where Ranma once was, he is greeted with a bone crunching drop kick in the wings. Crashing him face first into the beam, Ranma snatched the bar and raised it like a sword. Aiming to plunge it through the demon's black heart. Taking his chance Devil Ranma unleashed his own drop kick of hooves, bashing Ranma's exposed balls with force. Then slashing a mad gash across Ranma's chest, tumbling the bleeding boy back.
Ranma winced and held his bleeding chest, biting his lip he swallowed his pain and fought on. Devil Ranma charged claws unleashed in a fury of swiping swings, "So you wanna play hard ball huh all right" Ranma mocked grinning. Taking a foothold he reared the bar like a baseball bat, Devil Ranma swung his claws watching angrily as Ranma not only dodged them. But bashed them back with a smashing swing of the steel bar, leaving him open for a face bash.
The colossal crunch of his blood soaked face catapulted Devil Ranma right through a solid steel beam. The whole structure rumbled like a wild earthquake, Ranma and Akane screamed desperately gripping on for balance. Both of them knew that if this battle got any more out of control this whole building would collapse. "Better end this quick then" Ranma leapt like a leap frog towards the shattered beam, fists raised to finish the wounded fiend.
Only to find in gut churning horror that he was standing, smiling, and waiting for him. "Bye, bye" Ranma whaled in agony as the fire stream exploded like a volcano from Devil Ranma's claws, his chest and face boiled like lava. The flame-thrower like blast slammed Ranma into another beam, melting and boiling him back with harder and hotter force. Suddenly the stream ended. But not the assault, Devil Ranma zoomed in for a goat hoof stomach kick.
A splash of blood gargled from Ranma's lips as did his face, and eyes, and cheeks, as Devil Ranma rigousrly slashed his face flesh apart with his claws. Screaming, slashing and brutalizing Ranma apart like some wild animal. Gasping in bleeding pain Ranma weakly tried to gasp for breath, Devil Ranma kept him pinned one claw on his throat. The other waiting to strike. A smug sick smirk adorned the devil's face, as he looked upon Ranma's pain.
It was the same sick smile Devil Ranma grinned when he slaughtered Ranma's friends, he laughed "You don't seem so tough now Ranma boy. Must be because you lost your itsy bitsy bar" the steel pipe was crushed in half. Stomped into 2 shattered shards under Devil Ranma's hoof, yet Ranma showed no signs of care nor anger. Unaware to his counterpart, Ranma's hand was reaching behind him grasping for something to help him out of this bind.
Suddenly with a feel of cold razor steel, he grinned and grasped it tightly. "Awe shucks D no need to worry about that, I got a replacement" Devil Ranma stared oddly at Ranma's words, & suddenly heard a buzzing sound. In a flash of steel a wits Ranma jammed the whirling buzzsaw tool right into the left arm of Devil Ranma, tightly grasping his neck. "AHHHHHHHHHH" a scream heard like no other ruptured the sound barriers, from Devil Ranma.
A gushing fountain blood and bodily fluids erupted from Devil Ranma's arm, the screaming, the slicing, it was a truly unbearable sight. Within one full minute of ear shattering sounds of agony, scream and blood wrenching horror. Devil Ranma's left arm dropped leaving a bloody, and nauseating little stump. "WAH MY ARM MY FUCKING ARM IS GONE! JESUS CHRIST, YOU FUCKING SON OF A BITCH WAHT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE?".
Ranma wiped the blood splashes from his face ignoring his twin's moans, "Your right afterall I can't leave a job HALF DONE" Ranma screamed out. Whirling the buzzsaw up again charging for his remaining arm, Devil Ranma acted this time. Flaring a flame like glove across his only remaining claw. At the flash of a final second Devil Ranma jammed his claw into the buzzsaw. Electrifying the mechanics inside the device, overloading the power tool.
A small explosion blasted the saw from existence wincing both Ranma and Devil Ranma back. Once dust cleared the 2 warriors seemed the same, even tough Ranma was exhausted and Devil Ranma was missing an arm. Nothing seemed to change the fact that this battle was far from over. "Care to start this up again?" Ranma asked his twin coldly, "Ladies first" Devil Ranma replied. They leapt off their feet, fists reared back, eyes flared as the battle continued.
Watch your back because the next man is coming, and you don't' know if the next man is coming. Survival of the fittest what it is. I got your back, you got my back and that's the biz...
Devil Ranma was flapping his wings like bats, beating down Ranma with the forceful weight of his wings. At the same time he was slashing his single claw at Ranma's head rapidly, the young hero valiantly dodged each swipe & wing. While adding a powerful slam fist into Devil Ranma's stomach and face. Blood gushed from his teeth and nose, he screamed "I'LL KILL YOU".
Blood is rushing through my eyes, I got the power channel the energy. And with my strength I will devour, sickening thoughts are running through my head. That's when I realize I'm glad I'm not DEAD!
The fists bashed together, their knees and legs gouging at each other. Heads and horns crashed int one another, a seemingly endless war between good and evil. Ranma flipped back cracking his twin's jaw, Devil Ranma flapped into the air and spiraled his goat hooves into a tornado kick at Ranma's head.
Corruption and abuse, the salesmen of our blood. For the public's craving, existence in the dark...
"Burn in hell RANMA" Devil Ranma shrieked as he unloaded a fire storm of explosive fire ball bombs. Bursting into swarming flames at every turn and, angle surrounding the baffled Ranma. Biting his lip Ranma quickly pondered his alternatives as the flames, continued to engulf the floor & all around him. Quickly he turned and grabbed an axe upon the far ledge behind him, then charged with a cry for battle. Slicing the explosive fire balls with his axe.
Devil Ranma panicked and ducked as the axe clanged into solid steel, striking the beam behind him. Ranma watched in horror as the devil blasted the fire ball at his feet, creating a volcanic like eruption. Forcing the flames skyward. Engulfing Ranma in a blast filled valley of flames, and sizzling inferno sparks. With great pleasure and dark delight Devil Ranma leapt from his hooves, expanding his razor claws at Ranma's fallen fried body. Laughing maniacally.
It's in our nature to destroy ourselves, it's in our nature to kill ourselves. It's in our nature to kill each other, it's in our nature to...
"AND NOW YOU DIE" "STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY MAN", Devil Ranma suddenly gagged a gargled scream of immense pain.
KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILLLLLLLLLLLLL....
Watching as the imprint of a foot crashed off of his throat and chest, hurtling him off the edge of 2 steel beam bars. Crackling his wing bones through the entrance, shattering his wings as he screamed and plummeted downwards. Ranma slowly staggered upward to stare at his savior with shock, "Akane?" Akane smiled her always beautiful smile at Ranma nodding softly to him.
"That's right after all, you may have a hundred women wanting to marry you. But I'm the only girl that's gonna end up with Ranma Saotome" Ranma weakly smiled and slowly sat himself up, with Akane's help of course. He looked at her and gave her a gentle kiss on her lips, she blushed a rosy red. "I thought I had nothing to offer remember?" Ranma smiled playfully to Akane, she smirked right back "Actually I've always wanted to" she whispered in.
Suddenly his eyes widened and he blushed a nervous yet bright crimson, "Awe Akane" "Oh Ranma" "OH SHUT THE FUCK UP". Suddenly both Akane and Ranma turned their heads, to the one voice they wished they didn't hear. But it is, Devil Ranma was inside one of the construction yard machines, swinging a gigantic wrecking ball right into the building's side. Akane screamed and grasped onto Ranma for safety as the building rumbled.
Devil Ranma simply laughed again swinging the ball back, and crashing it again a second time. The force of the blow knocked Akane unconscious, and out of Ranma's arms. He gasped in fear since she was about to fall off the beams, her whole life was dangling up to her feet sticking to some rope. But as Ranma frightfully soon saw her shoe and socks, were slowly slipping off and out. "NO AKANE" leaping out with all his might Ranma caught her.
"GAH HO man, when this thing is done Akane has GOT to lose some weight" Ranma winced hanging onto Akane by her mere toes. He growled and sprouted veins, if she was awake this would hurt her a lot more then him. Suddenly a slap struck his face "OW" "RANMA this hurts" he groaned and rolled his eyes, "Hello you were about to fall if i didn't catch you Akane". Thought too soon and to make matters worse, Devil Ranma was coming.
"Akane look you see that elevator shift over to the far right of you?", Akane slowly pried her eyes back open, still terrified from her height point. But she looked and spotted the shaft nodding back to Ranma, "Good now when I say go I want you to swing all of your weight to landing in the elevator ready?" Akane slowly nodded and waited for his signal, moving her body left to right getting her shift & weight into the swing of it. Ranma suddenly screamed out.
His eyes bulged as he wheezed loudly in pain "GO" "WAHHH" though it was a bit faster then planned, Akane still landed into the elevator with a loud thump. Ranma was still gagging in pain from the goat hoof in his chest. Devil Ranma slashed a painful uppercut to Ranma's face and chest, then hammer bashed his hide to the steel beam floor with a horn filled head butt. Ranma screamed painfully as he was yanked up by his hair by Devil Ranma.
"Ain't life a bitch?" Devil Ranma laughed as he happily banged and, banged Ranma's cracked and bleeding face into the steel beam floor repetitively. He stopped only to laugh and enjoy Ranma's suffering as he expanded his claws. "Sorry Ranma but it looks like the better half one you may have put up a good fight, but no matter what you do in life. You'll always gonna crash and burn, and it's my job to see that.....ONCE AND FOR ALL" Devil Ranma growled.
Ranma could only look up at his dark angel of death, preparing to slice him off to the neverlands and yet all he could do was smile. Devil Ranma stared totally perplexed at what could be so worth smiling about death, "And what's so fucking funny?" Ranma simply slowly hiked up onto his knees upward. Staring coldly at him "Forgetting someone?", suddenly Devil Ranma gasped. His eyes white and his face paler then a ghost, as he quickly turned around.
Just in time to see Akane swinging the black wreckerball right into his body, bashing his insides and outsides. Screaming as he grasped onto the ball for dear life, as it swung like a pendulum left to right, back and forth. His last claw jammed deep into the black orb as he cried out in unbearable rage, "DAMMIT with my claw stuck and my wings shot to shit, I'm stuck". Devil Ranma turned his head back and widened his eyes in horror at what he saw.
Ranma leaping off the building beams, with a reared back fist in the form of karate chop aiming directly at the wrecking ball's connecting line. The young boy smirked and winked "Go back to hell you heartless mother FUCKER", he sliced the rope off with a massive strike. It dropped like a megaton safe. With a screaming Devil Ranma trapped in the black metallic orb, crashing painfully into a massive pile of junk, wood, tools, and broken machinery.
With a heavy sigh of relief from Ranma and cheers of joy from Akane, it looked like things have finally come to an end. "HA HA YEAH we did it Ranma, WE DID IT!" Ranma laughed clinging to the crane machine. "Yup Akane, we sure did it" suddenly Ranma's eyes caught attention downward. "Oh you did it all right" "AKANE RU" BOOM! A colossal explosion silenced Ranma's warning as the pile Devil Ranma landed in, exploded.
Thousands of burning cinders, fried metallic molds, and busted spare parts littered the burning sight of the construction yard. The crane was caught in the blast as well, and Ranma could only lay face down in the dirt in mad agony. Staring as Akane laid right beside him, knocked unconscious once again. Biting his lip in worry at the sight of blood on the side of her head, he hoped it was nothing serious. And as the footsteps scuffled the dirt, a stranger came.
Not just any stranger, but the very same stranger that taunted Ranma in the mess of his separation, the same stranger that has watched these events occur. Ranma looked up with a coughing smear of dry blood, and dirt on his face. To the deep bright blue eyes of the stranger as the cape dropped down, revealing the identity to Ranma. The face stared right back at Ranma's unfeeling face of coldness, of all the people he suspected it was "YOU!".

"WAH MY ARM MY FUCKING ARM IS GONE! JESUS CHRIST, YOU FUCKING SON OF A BITCH WAHT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE?".
Ranma wiped the blood splashes from his face ignoring his twin's moans, "Your right afterall I can't leave a job HALF DONE" Ranma screamed out. Whirling the buzzsaw up again charging for his remaining arm, Devil Ranma acted this time. Flaring a flame like glove across his only remaining claw. At the flash of a final second Devil Ranma jammed his claw into the buzzsaw. Electrifying the mechanics inside the device, overloading the power tool.
A small explosion blasted the saw from existence wincing both Ranma and Devil Ranma back. Once dust cleared the 2 warriors seemed the same, even tough Ranma was exhausted and Devil Ranma was missing an arm. Nothing seemed to change the fact that this battle was far from over. "Care to start this up again?" Ranma asked his twin coldly, "Ladies first" Devil Ranma replied. They leapt off their feet, fists reared back, eyes flared as the battle continued.
Watch your back because the next man is coming, and you don't' know if the next man is coming. Survival of the fittest what it is. I got your back, you got my back and that's the biz...
Devil Ranma was flapping his wings like bats, beating down Ranma with the forceful weight of his wings. At the same time he was slashing his single claw at Ranma's head rapidly, the young hero valiantly dodged each swipe & wing. While adding a powerful slam fist into Devil Ranma's stomach and face. Blood gushed from his teeth and nose, he screamed "I'LL KILL YOU".
Blood is rushing through my eyes, I got the power channel the energy. And with my strength I will devour, sickening thoughts are running through my head. That's when I realize I'm glad I'm not DEAD!
The fists bashed together, their knees and legs gouging at each other. Heads and horns crashed int one another, a seemingly endless war between good and evil. Ranma flipped back cracking his twin's jaw, Devil Ranma flapped into the air and spiraled his goat hooves into a tornado kick at Ranma's head.
Corruption and abuse, the salesmen of our blood. For the public's craving, existence in the dark...
"Burn in hell RANMA" Devil Ranma shrieked as he unloaded a fire storm of explosive fire ball bombs. Bursting into swarming flames at every turn and, angle surrounding the baffled Ranma. Biting his lip Ranma quickly pondered his alternatives as the flames, continued to engulf the floor & all around him. Quickly he turned and grabbed an axe upon the far ledge behind him, then charged with a cry for battle. Slicing the explosive fire balls with his axe.
Devil Ranma panicked and ducked as the axe clanged into solid steel, striking the beam behind him. Ranma watched in horror as the devil blasted the fire ball at his feet, creating a volcanic like eruption. Forcing the flames skyward. Engulfing Ranma in a blast filled valley of flames, and sizzling inferno sparks. With great pleasure and dark delight Devil Ranma leapt from his hooves, expanding his razor claws at Ranma's fallen fried body. Laughing maniacally.
It's in our nature to destroy ourselves, it's in our nature to kill ourselves. It's in our nature to kill each other, it's in our nature to...
"AND NOW YOU DIE" "STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY MAN", Devil Ranma suddenly gagged a gargled scream of immense pain.
KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILLLLLLLLLLLLL....
Watching as the imprint of a foot crashed off of his throat and chest, hurtling him off the edge of 2 steel beam bars. Crackling his wing bones through the entrance, shattering his wings as he screamed and plummeted downwards. Ranma slowly staggered upward to stare at his savior with shock, "Akane?" Akane smiled her always beautiful smile at Ranma nodding softly to him.
"That's right after all, you may have a hundred women wanting to marry you. But I'm the only girl that's gonna end up with Ranma Saotome" Ranma weakly smiled and slowly sat himself up, with Akane's help of course. He looked at her and gave her a gentle kiss on her lips, she blushed a rosy red. "I thought I had nothing to offer remember?" Ranma smiled playfully to Akane, she smirked right back "Actually I've always wanted to" she whispered in.
Suddenly his eyes widened and he blushed a nervous yet bright crimson, "Awe Akane" "Oh Ranma" "OH SHUT THE FUCK UP". Suddenly both Akane and Ranma turned their heads, to the one voice they wished they didn't hear. But it is, Devil Ranma was inside one of the construction yard machines, swinging a gigantic wrecking ball right into the building's side. Akane screamed and grasped onto Ranma for safety as the building rumbled.
Devil Ranma simply laughed again swinging the ball back, and crashing it again a second time. The force of the blow knocked Akane unconscious, and out of Ranma's arms. He gasped in fear since she was about to fall off the beams, her whole life was dangling up to her feet sticking to some rope. But as Ranma frightfully soon saw her shoe and socks, were slowly slipping off and out. "NO AKANE" leaping out with all his might Ranma caught her.
"GAH HO man, when this thing is done Akane has GOT to lose some weight" Ranma winced hanging onto Akane by her mere toes. He growled and sprouted veins, if she was awake this would hurt her a lot more then him. Suddenly a slap struck his face "OW" "RANMA this hurts" he groaned and rolled his eyes, "Hello you were about to fall if i didn't catch you Akane". Thought too soon and to make matters worse, Devil Ranma was coming.
"Akane look you see that elevator shift over to the far right of you?", Akane slowly pried her eyes back open, still terrified from her height point. But she looked and spotted the shaft nodding back to Ranma, "Good now when I say go I want you to swing all of your weight to landing in the elevator ready?" Akane slowly nodded and waited for his signal, moving her body left to right getting her shift & weight into the swing of it. Ranma suddenly screamed out.
His eyes bulged as he wheezed loudly in pain "GO" "WAHHH" though it was a bit faster then planned, Akane still landed into the elevator with a loud thump. Ranma was still gagging in pain from the goat hoof in his chest. Devil Ranma slashed a painful uppercut to Ranma's face and chest, then hammer bashed his hide to the steel beam floor with a horn filled head butt. Ranma screamed painfully as he was yanked up by his hair by Devil Ranma.
"Ain't life a bitch?" Devil Ranma laughed as he happily banged and, banged Ranma's cracked and bleeding face into the steel beam floor repetitively. He stopped only to laugh and enjoy Ranma's suffering as he expanded his claws. "Sorry Ranma but it looks like the better half one you may have put up a good fight, but no matter what you do in life. You'll always gonna crash and burn, and it's my job to see that.....ONCE AND FOR ALL" Devil Ranma growled.
Ranma could only look up at his dark angel of death, preparing to slice him off to the neverlands and yet all he could do was smile. Devil Ranma stared totally perplexed at what could be so worth smiling about death, "And what's so fucking funny?" Ranma simply slowly hiked up onto his knees upward. Staring coldly at him "Forgetting someone?", suddenly Devil Ranma gasped. His eyes white and his face paler then a ghost, as he quickly turned around.
Just in time to see Akane swinging the black wreckerball right into his body, bashing his insides and outsides. Screaming as he grasped onto the ball for dear life, as it swung like a pendulum left to right, back and forth. His last claw jammed deep into the black orb as he cried out in unbearable rage, "DAMMIT with my claw stuck and my wings shot to shit, I'm stuck". Devil Ranma turned his head back and widened his eyes in horror at what he saw.
Ranma leaping off the building beams, with a reared back fist in the form of karate chop aiming directly at the wrecking ball's connecting line. The young boy smirked and winked "Go back to hell you heartless mother FUCKER", he sliced the rope off with a massive strike. It dropped like a megaton safe. With a screaming Devil Ranma trapped in the black metallic orb, crashing painfully into a massive pile of junk, wood, tools, and broken machinery.
With a heavy sigh of relief from Ranma and cheers of joy from Akane, it looked like things have finally come to an end. "HA HA YEAH we did it Ranma, WE DID IT!" Ranma laughed clinging to the crane machine. "Yup Akane, we sure did it" suddenly Ranma's eyes caught attention downward. "Oh you did it all right" "AKANE RU" BOOM! A colossal explosion silenced Ranma's warning as the pile Devil Ranma landed in, exploded.
Thousands of burning cinders, fried metallic molds, and busted spare parts littered the burning sight of the construction yard. The crane was caught in the blast as well, and Ranma could only lay face down in the dirt in mad agony. Staring as Akane laid right beside him, knocked unconscious once again. Biting his lip in worry at the sight of blood on the side of her head, he hoped it was nothing serious. And as the footsteps scuffled the dirt, a stranger came.
Not just any stranger, but the very same stranger that taunted Ranma in the mess of his separation, the same stranger that has watched these events occur. Ranma looked up with a coughing smear of dry blood, and dirt on his face. To the deep bright blue eyes of the stranger as the cape dropped down, revealing the identity to Ranma. The face stared right back at Ranma's unfeeling face of coldness, of all the people he suspected it was "YOU!".
