The Final Fallen

Through the dust and burning flames that stink of fowl fumes, brimming with twisted, melted metal and blood soaking the winds of the sky. Ranma had no trouble at seeing the mastermind behind this whole maddening sherade. The one responsible for the creation of Devil Ranma, the cause for the terror people have felt, for the fear swallowed. And most of all the lives destroyed. It was because of this single black soul, that so much suffering has surfaced.

Weakly Ranma tried to stand but it was more difficult then he thought, after being bashed, bruised, battered and beaten mercilessly by Devil Ranma. The poor boy barely had strength to raise a bloody knuckle fist at the stranger. The stranger's cloak dropped & Ranma grit his teeth, and snarled deeper with passionate hate. Ranma frowned "So what took you so long........ Shampoo?". A light evil giggled escaped the amazon's pink pursed lips at Ranma's remark.

Her long beautiful purple hair cascaded down her beautiful, buxom body, smirking as she stepped forward in a tight dark purple skirt. Standing on tall revealing legs and paper thin ninja slippers, grinning her cold ice blue eyes. "Now, now that anyway to show Shampoo for great appreciation, Ranma?", another low angry snarl escaped Ranma's tightening lips at that stupid word. "Appreciation HA you think just like that shit headed psycho path" he said.

Shampoo smirked and waved a finger in a naughty fashion, "Ranma pick bad time for being smart. Ranma find out too late about Shampoo's little scheme, but don't worry, Shampoo explain all" Ranma leapt on his weak, tired, knees. Swinging a screaming fist of bloody rage at her face, Shampoo was far faster and stronger then Ranma was in his condition. She easily dodged his fist, and toppled him like dominos with a powerful swift jump kick to the face & neck.

Writhing in mad agony Ranma held his blood bruised face with a cold sneer, yet still Shampoo smirked and explained. "Can't Ranma see Shampoo's plan? Ugly Akane girl right, too many people want to take away Shampoo's Ranma. So Shampoo steal great grandma's secret devil mark potion, and call Devil Ranma to take care of everything. Devil Ranma clean everyone all out, then there be no one left to take Ranma away from Shampoo" she evilly grinned.

CRACK! A blood cracking fist slammed into the rocky earth causing a colossal crack into earth, as the tear soaked eyes of Ranma finally saw truth. Slowly he stared and replied back to her "So I get it now you figured if you could get rid of everyone else, I'd be your prize awaiting for your pick up. Well I got news for you BITCH, I'm gonna OOF" an elbow to the gut silenced Ranma. Tightly gagging on his own choked up spit, Ranma wheezed.

Suffering painful pressure from Shampoo's crushing bare ankles, the harder she drilled the fiercer she sneered. Yet Ranma vented on "Your NUTS, you'd risk to kill a member of your own family just so you get your hands on me?". Shampoo puffed at him pouting like "Ranma, so so stupid, devil mark have very bad side effect. Creature called forth sometimes are disobedient, angry, act totally out of control. Shampoo never meant to have great grandma killed.

But now Shampoo took care of Devil Ranma with big fire balls from man, Shampoo is very, very happy. Shampoo planning to kill Devil Ranma anyway, Devil Ranma not needed once everyone was dead" Ranma winced. The stings of the fight wounds still plaguing his body as slowly, he crawled backwards trying to avoid Shampoo, trying to lead her away from "AKANE". Ranma growled and sweat dropped, Shampoo had already spotted Akane and there's no way he'd let her touch her. The amazon stomped towards Akane.

"HMPH stupid Devil Ranma can't even kill biggest job, look like Shampoo have to finish ugly Akane off" Shampoo quickly removed a ninja dagger. Raising it high above the sleeping Akane's neck, preparing to hammer the life away from Akane so Ranma will be hers once & for all. "YOU HEARTLESS BITCH" "RANMA WAHHH", Shampoo squealed out loudly. From behind Ranma mustered his final strength into grabbing Shampoo's long, purple hair.

With a shattering battle cry and a swing with all his heart and might, mustered into a powerful hair, grab, and toss, Hurling Shampoo backwards like a doll. She squeaked painfully as she landed into the putrid pile of barbecued garbage, the same pit she vaporized Devil Ranma into. "THAT HURT" she squealed cleaning clumps of oil, battery fluid, and dirt from her clothes. As for Ranma he took his chance, to immediately crawl over and get Akane.

But to his surprised and widened eyes of shock "What....wha, Akane is gone?", Akane was gone. All remaining of her presence was a dirt smear, shaped heavily into the ground by her limp body but now nothing at all. Shampoo placed her hands on her hips and snarled at Ranma "Ugly Akane girl do what now Ranma?", Ranma turned to explain Akane had vanished. But a dreadful sight behind Shampoo, arose high from the dark shadows.

A shadowy figure that left him speechless in gaping awe, and absolute heart gripping fear. Shampoo just blankly stared at him with a confused look, as if saying "What the hell is his problem?", "What?" suddenly a loud SNAP! Ranma winced his eyes at the disgusting sight unleashed before his shielded eyes, Shampoo stood raised off her own ankles. Gurgling out blood in pain. Her blue eyes were now bright dead white, blood had slowly leaked outward.

Dripping dry single streams from her young paling face, from behind the sickening sound of meat being grinded and crushed. Like someone was bashing up hamburger meat and bones, or more accurately Shampoo's head. Suddenly a bloody red claw bashed through the rest of her splattered face, blood splashed out in thick sick wet slops of inner fluids. Her brain shredded into puss filled shrimp sized flesh shards, twitching in a puddle of blood.

In one fast and sickening strike the dark stranger from behind, had crushed Shampoo's head like a blood filled balloon. Dropping down her lifeless, and headless corpse as Devil Ranma stood behind her body. Panting a weak pant from his shredded form of flesh, bloody gashes gouged within his chest. A cracked bone poking from his fried stub, cracked horns above him. He weakly stomped forward each click, snapped more bones & oozed blood.

Devil Ranma looked like he'd been run over by hell 150 times, yet through his mangled mess of a body. He still had time to grin, and smirk his sick sly remarks "Ding dong the BITCH is dead" Devil Ranma weakly cackled out. Approaching the crawling weak form of Ranma before his bleeding knees, "You honestly thought that little stunt could have killed me shit kicker?". Ranma shook his eyes away from Shampoo's mutilated, & butchered body.

"Nothing can stop me, evil is ETERNAL. And dear BROTHER, with Xena the whore warrior out of the way that just leaves you and me" he snarled. Raising his final bloody razor claw, Devil Ranma raised himself over Ranma. Poised to strike until "Couple of things Mr. hot shot 1-I'm not your brother freak, 2-Nothing lasts forever, and 3" Devil Ranma rolled his eyes, annoyed. "AND, AND?" but that's when it was Ranma's turn to gloat at Devil Ranma.

"This just leaves you, me.....and AKANE!", Ranma immediately flipped backwards leaping far from danger. Devil Ranma immediately looked up in spine chilling horror, as the entire metallic skeleton structure toppled down. Devil Ranma's body was engulfed in the endless shadow in the falling instrument of death, screaming the last blood curdling scream he ever would. A God sized crash of ground rupturings, steel shattering, earth rumblings.

Rocked the planet itself as the colossal tower of steel and metal, collapsed downward into a heaping pile of dusts and dirt clouds. In the midst of twisted metal, and bent bars about. A weak and bloody looking claw hand, weakly raised it's hand in the air and then it collapsed. Devil Ranma is dead. At that point Ranma slowly turned his saddening eyes, away from the titanic tombstone of Devil Ranma towards his true love and savior "Oh...Akane".

Apparently during the fight with Shampoo and Ranma, Akane awake and sneaked off away from the battle. Waiting the right time to strike down the final holding base bars of the building's beams, crashing right into the earth. Akane slowly walked towards Ranma, watching his weak knees try to stand. It soon became a frantic run, tears billowing up in her sobbing wide eyes, burying her face into Ranma's chest. Weeping into sad, sorrow filled tears.

Ranma simply sighed just as sadly as his love did, holding her in his warm arms. Softly stroking her lovely black hair and holding her gentle frame, whispering to her as tears drowned his eyes as well "It's over......it's over". Love, hate, tragedy, inescapable flaws in the beautiful thing we call Life. Sometimes we take love for granted, and those we give our love to. Because if you don't, feelings have a habit of taking on a life of their very own.

They say love will always prevail, over any obstacle in it's way. But for how long.......that's the real question you need to ask yourself, for how long......?

THE END?
