Chapter Two:
Akane watched Ranma walk on top of the fence
next to the sidewalk. Ranmushi was following
behind his medafighter. Both seemed to find it
easy to do. That only added to her frustration.
She decided to vent her frustration a bit.
"Ranma, why don't you keep Ranmushi's medal
in your medawatch. It would be easier than
having him follow you around all the time
and what if you're separated?" She asked hoping
to get him off guard.
Ranmushi turned his head to Akane and she could
almost feel the ice coming from it. "No way am
I sitting bodiless in some watch. Action is my
middle name." Came the medabot's reply.
Akane was getting annoyed with the medabot. He
seemed to have an attitude problem. It was making
Akane wish that she had gone to school earlier
than Nabiki so that she didn't get stuck babysitting
Ranma on the way to school. They were getting late
thanks to Ranma getting splashed by one of the old
ladies living in the neighbourhood. They had to stop
by Dr. Tofu office to get Ranma some hot water.
Now she was going to have to get ready for all the
perverts that were coming up.
"Teleport medabot," she yelled as she hit her
medawatch button. A beam of light shot from the watch
as a ball of blue light appeared and her medabot
came from it. " Scout, get ready for action."
Ranma and his medabot were wondering why Akane had
summoned her medabot. That is till the saw the horde
of boys and their medabots stand in front of the
school. He could hear cries of love and devotion for
Akane coming from them. As Akane approached, the
sprung into action.
The medabots went straight for Scout as their owners
went on the attack on Akane. Ranma watched as Akane
and her medabot charged straight ahead, clobbering
anyone in their way.
It seemed a little unfair odds, but Ranma decided
to let Akane handle it as he passed the unconscious
boys and the unbuttoning medabots. It would do him
and her some good if he could see how she fought and
how the others in the school fought. He might be able
to help Akane if she would let him. Akane seemed to be
finishing up the last of the as they approached the gate.
From one of the school's windows, Nabiki was watching
her sisters free for all robattle. This had gone on ever
since Kuno had challenge the entire school to defeat
Akane or Scout in order to get a date with Akane.
Kuno had hoped that this would stop anyone from dating
Akane, not thinking it would also prevent him from fighting.
She had thought that Ranma would move to help Akane,
but he hadn't yet. She was still trying to figure out what
Ranma was doing when she saw Kuno throw his traditional
rose towards Akane. Only it was caught by Ranma. This
was going to make thing more interesting. If she knew Kuno
this wasn't something he would take laying down. He didn't.
"Who dares to take the gift meant for my dearest Akane?"
Kuno said looking at the young man before him. "Who dares
to even to stand so closely to the heavenly Akane?" Kuno
stood tall before Akane and Ranma dressed in samurai like
robes, a wooden sword on his hip. Before Ranma or anyone
else could answer his question he said, "But one must
introduce one's self first. It am the unbeaten master of
the Kendo team, the Blue Lightning of Furiken High School.
I am Tawakani Kuno!"
"Well, I am Ranma Saotome, student of the Anything-goes
Schools of Martial Arts and Medafighting. And I'm just
staying at the Tendo's..." Ranma started to explain before
Kuno interrupted him.
"You are staying under the same room as my enchanting
Akane! Have at thee!" Kuno sprung into action and moved
forward to attack Ranma. Ranma, however, wasn't there.
He had moved from his position moments before Kuno's
attack would have hit, and appeared behind the kendoist.
"He's going to have to do better than that. Ranma duels
with me every morning. And I could be this guy with my
sensors damaged and missing two arm medaparts. Since one
of my weapons of choice is the Chanbara sword, this
shouldn't last too long." Ranmushi said, beaming with
pride at his medafighters skills. He stood watching with
his arms crossed, like he was studying the two martial
artists moves.
Nabiki could hear Ranmushi from the window and it
looked like Kuno had hear as well as he kept trying
to slash at the martial artist as he danced away.
It remind Nabiki of the battle Ranma and Ranmushi
had earlier in the morning. Except that Kuno could
keep up to Ranma as Ranmushi had. Then she saw Ranma
make a move that would likely bring Kuno's rage to
a boil. He had disarmed and stolen Kuno's bouken.
Kuno had plenty of the wooden swords, but to disarmed
in such a manor would be great for the Blue Thunder's
ego.
Just as Kuno noticed that he had been disarmed
and looked to Ranma, Ranma snaped the bouken with his
fingers. "I guess that settles that." Ranma said,
smiling with a cocky grin. Akane seemed to grow
angrier at the move. But Kuno stared, the moved to
his wrist, the one with his medawatch on it.
"Now face the thundering blade of justices. Face
the Samurai of Storms. Face Raidenken. Teleport."
With a press of the medawatch, a beam of energy
busted from the watch teleporting a medabot
that resembled a blue suit of samurai armour with a
demonic faceplate. Two swords hung at its sides.
Kuno quickly activated his medabot by placing the
medal in the medabot. "Raidenken, attack! Have at
thee." But before the medabot could obey it's
medafighter's command, smoke bombs exploded all
around them.
As the smoke clear, a strange looking ninja appeared.
He was dressed in black pants and a white Chinese style
shirt. He had a moustache the same grey as his hair.
The really weird part was that he was wearing a red
bow tie. "I am the Ninja Referee from the Referee Ninja
Clan. Master of Referee style Ninjutsu. I shall act
as referee to make sure that no one gets hurt. This
will be a submission robattle. The loser will submit
one medapart to the loser. Medafighter, get ready..."
The Referee Ninja put his hand in the air like he
was preparing to give a chop.
Ranmushi got into position across from Kuno's blue
medabot. The medabot, however, hadn't taken a combat
position. In fact, it was as if he didn't care what
happened next.
"Medafighters, Robattle!!!" The Referee shouted. The
first medabot to do anything was Raidenken. The blue
samurai was rushing towards the black stag beetle,
an electrical sword raised above the medabots head.
Electrical energy charged up and down the blade as it
swung to hit the other medabot. And missed.
Ranmushi wasn't where he had been. It had moved rapidly
away from Raidenken. Ranmushi stood behind Raidenken,
arms crossed. "If that's all you got, then you might
as well give up. Cause you're not going to beat me."
Ranmushi said, sounding a little bored. Raidenken turned
around, and sliced with his electrical blade. A humming
slice that failed to hit Ranmushi as the medabot dodged
the second attack.
"Raidenken use your thunderblade to strike the fowl cur's
medabot. Disable it now!" Kuno yelled into his medawatch.
He was extremely involved in the robattle. He was seeking
to gain what he had lost in the battle with Ranma in this
battle.
Ranma, on the other hand, watched the match but didn't
seem to be giving his medabot any directions at all. He
just seemed to be watching. He didn't even have his
medawatch posed in case he had to give an order. He
seemed completely confident in his medabot's abilities.
"Ranmushi, let's finish this quickly." was all he said.
That's when the black stag medabots changed from
the defensive to the offensive. It stopped dodging
the swings of Kuno's medabot and stood firm as he moved
For his attack. The Chanbara sword was a slash of motion
as the blade swiped the opposing medabot. Raidenken
was pushed back from the power of the attack.
Kuno looked at his watch as he saw that his medabot's
damage showed up on the watch's screen. The arms had gotten
90 percent of the damage, while ten percent had gone to
the head of his medabot. Soon Raidenken would have no
weapons to defend himself with. That would mean they
would have to resort to their finishing move. "Unless
the Divine Thunder Slash." Kuno ordered his medabot.
Raidenken pulled out his second sword and stood with
Ranmushi in front of him. With an act of great speed,
the blue samurai medabot used the electrical energy
to send two slashes of lightning out in the form of
a great electrical 'X'. The 'X' shaped blasts
charged to the beetle medabot. It looked like would
hit Ranmushi. Save for the fact that seconds before the
blast hit Ranmushi jumped into the air and twisted in
flight so that it fell towards Raidenken. With Hammer
Punch ready. It's punch, given greater power by the
force of gravity hit like a ton of bricks.
Raidenken fell over and it's medal popped out.
"Function ceased. The winner is Ranmushi." The Ninja
Referee said as he looked at where the two medabots.
"No! I am not beaten. I have not lost." Kuno said,
raging over his defeat to the point of delusion.
"That medabot must have used sorcery to defeat
the mighty Tatewaki Kuno!"
"You not obeying the rules. Please submit your
medapart to the winner." A shadow fell across
Ninja Referee's face.
"Never. I will fight on!" Kuno said, moving towards
his medabot and medal.
"It's not nice to mess with a Referee Ninja." With
that the Ninja exploded with needle as the hit the
young Kuno. Once the referee was finished, the boy
passed out. The Referee jumped to the medabot and
removed it's left arm and sword. He tossed it to
Ranma. "My work here is done. In a puff of smoke,
the ninja referee vanished.
"That was so easy, it was kinda disappointing."
Ranmushi said to his medafighter. As he picked
up his new medapart. Ranmushi always liked collecting
new medaparts. It meant that he would need more
training to master it. That would mean that Ranma might
pick up a few new tricks that he could copy.
Akane just stood there in shocked surprise at
the match that had taken place before her. She
had never seen Kuno use that Divine Thunder Slash.
He had been going easy on her. She boiled up inside.
Then she noticed the fact it was about rain. "Ranma,
hurry up. It's going to rain." She called out as she
headed inside.
A few moments later...
Akane and Ranma stood in the hall with their medabots,
holding buckets. They had gotten in to class and Ranma
had been introduced to the class. It was only after
that introduction that he and Akane had been sent outside
due to the fact they had gotten in late. Ranma was just
glad that they had gotten in before it had rained.
Not that he didn't like the morning exercise that he
and Ranmushi had received. Plus the new part the had
gotten off of Kuno. It wasn't much of a work out, but
any work out was a good work out. If Kuno kept challenging
him, he might be able to collect all of Raidenken's medaparts.
He turned to Akane. "What was all of that fighting about?
It seems strange that all of those boys started attacking you?
Is their a reason that they were after you?" he asked, wanting
to make conversation while at the same time learning a bit
about the situation.
"It's all Kuno's fault." Akane said, starting to explain
how the whole mess started with Kuno. At the beginning, Kuno
had made an announcement that only the boy who defeats Akane
in combat could date her. That had started all of the boys
on their campaign of beating her. She then went on to say that
so far none of them, not even Kuno.
"That simple." Ranmushi spoke up. "He was holding back.
Cause there's no way that you could have taken him in real
fight." Watching his medafighter talk with the girl. It
was obvious that Kuno was holding back. "Although, Scout
might be able to take Raidenken if she was properly managed.
Akane started to steam at that comment when Scout started
to defend her medafighter. "Akane is a great medafighter.
She leads me into battle against the horde of medabots of
all types and we always win. Plus I've always won when I've
gone against Raidenken."
"Somehow, I think that those fights might not have been
even match-ups." Ranmushi continued. "They most likely just
wanted you to win."
Scout started to imitate her mistress as she started to
spark with rage. She glared at the stag beetle medabot,
just as her mistress was glaring at the young man before her.
The two were just beginning to respond when Kuno showed up.
"How dare thee attempt to claim the hand of the furious Akane
Tendo? I will not allow these to be! Have at thee!" Kuno
pounced at Ranma, who moved out of the way. But the hallway
exploded with students as they all asked question of Ranma and
Akane.
"Is it true?"
"Akane, I thought you hated boys?"
"Why did she have to have another boy after her?"
"How did he get so lucky?"
Ranma and Akane tried to explain the situation that had
occured last night to their classmates.
"It not what you think! It was our parent's idea!" Akane
said as Ranma said, "Beside I'm not engage to Akane exactly,
I'm engaged to one of the Tendo sisters."
"That might be true, varlet. But given a choice who would
reject the tender embrace of Akane for one of her sisters.
Now taste the vengeance of heaven. Have at thee!" Kuno attacked
again, and again Ranma moved out of the way.
Trying to keep the damage to the minimum, Ranma decided to
move the fight outside. "Hey, Kuno. Let's take this outside.
With that Ranma jumped out of the window. Kuno, with his mind
filled with rage, followed with out thinking.
The student looked on with shocked expression. Till someone
mentioned a small fact. "Lucky there's a pool under that window."
With almost exact precision Ranma and Ranmushi said, "Pool. Water,
Why did it have to be water?" With that Ranma and Kuno fell
into the drink. While the two of them were in the water when
Ranma felt Kuno groping him. Ranma twisted out of the hold
and hopped out of the pool. He had to get out of site if he wanted
to keep his curse under wraps. Things could get any worse....
Elsewhere, in a secret laboratory....
Dr. Aka Obake sat quietly in front of his computer looking
at the information that his agents had collected. The Bakerobo
gang were his selected crew of highly trained specialist. Or
they would be if he could afford the training. Heck, most of
his best agents were the rejects from the infamous Rubber Robo
gang. They even stole the costumes to some extent.
But he need the money for the advance technology he needed
to crack the secrets of Dai Shiroba's of martial arts
medabots. They seemed to be stronger and more powerful than
the normal medabots. Their medaparts where more agile and
yet still had greater armour strength than normal. Even the
Medabot corporation were looking into the way these medabots
where put together. But the real secret for the martial arts
medabots were the medals.
Each medal seemed to hold some kind of advance collection
of martial arts, all of which seemed to have been designed
to match the complex and ever changing fighting style of the
medabots. Something that would go perfectly with his plans
for the medabots. Plans for domination of the world.
All that he was lacking was an unbeatable army. An army he
had discovered by accident during the Ten days of Darkness.
When the medabots went nuts world wide. When they had caused
world wide damage, destruction and terror. Just what his army
needed. The martial arts medabots, being the more powerful
of the types, would be perfect for his designs. But he needed
to have a way to control that destructive force to safeguard
his own safety.
That's why he needed someone who knew how the medabots medals
work. How they were created when compared to normal medals.
Someone like Shiroba... or his apprentice. The Saotome boy.
The son of Shiroba's partner, his reports seemed to tell that
this boy was an expert with martial arts medabot. And seemed to
know more than most people should.
But for the longest time he couldn't find the boy. He seemed
to drift from site to site, just out of reach of his agents.
He seemed to be only able to trace the boy by rumour.
He was still trying to have his agents update him about the
recent reports of the boy being in China. If they could catch
up with the boy, it would then be just a measure of trying to
capture the boy. He was an expert martial artist and seemed to
be still working at improving more and more with each report.
Soon there wouldn't any agent in his Bakerobos that would be
able to take the boy in a fair fight. Which was why they were
being trained to take the boy in unfair fights. He just needed
to catch him. Couldn't that boy stay in one place for a long enough
period of time to be traced.
But Obake could wait. Especially with his secondary plans coming
closer to being fulfilled.

"Somehow, I think that those fights might not have been
even match-ups." Ranmushi continued. "They most likely just
wanted you to win."
Scout started to imitate her mistress as she started to
spark with rage. She glared at the stag beetle medabot,
just as her mistress was glaring at the young man before her.
The two were just beginning to respond when Kuno showed up.
"How dare thee attempt to claim the hand of the furious Akane
Tendo? I will not allow these to be! Have at thee!" Kuno
pounced at Ranma, who moved out of the way. But the hallway
exploded with students as they all asked question of Ranma and
Akane.
"Is it true?"
"Akane, I thought you hated boys?"
"Why did she have to have another boy after her?"
"How did he get so lucky?"
Ranma and Akane tried to explain the situation that had
occured last night to their classmates.
"It not what you think! It was our parent's idea!" Akane
said as Ranma said, "Beside I'm not engage to Akane exactly,
I'm engaged to one of the Tendo sisters."
"That might be true, varlet. But given a choice who would
reject the tender embrace of Akane for one of her sisters.
Now taste the vengeance of heaven. Have at thee!" Kuno attacked
again, and again Ranma moved out of the way.
Trying to keep the damage to the minimum, Ranma decided to
move the fight outside. "Hey, Kuno. Let's take this outside.
With that Ranma jumped out of the window. Kuno, with his mind
filled with rage, followed with out thinking.
The student looked on with shocked expression. Till someone
mentioned a small fact. "Lucky there's a pool under that window."
With almost exact precision Ranma and Ranmushi said, "Pool. Water,
Why did it have to be water?" With that Ranma and Kuno fell
into the drink. While the two of them were in the water when
Ranma felt Kuno groping him. Ranma twisted out of the hold
and hopped out of the pool. He had to get out of site if he wanted
to keep his curse under wraps. Things could get any worse....
Elsewhere, in a secret laboratory....
Dr. Aka Obake sat quietly in front of his computer looking
at the information that his agents had collected. The Bakerobo
gang were his selected crew of highly trained specialist. Or
they would be if he could afford the training. Heck, most of
his best agents were the rejects from the infamous Rubber Robo
gang. They even stole the costumes to some extent.
But he need the money for the advance technology he needed
to crack the secrets of Dai Shiroba's of martial arts
medabots. They seemed to be stronger and more powerful than
the normal medabots. Their medaparts where more agile and
yet still had greater armour strength than normal. Even the
Medabot corporation were looking into the way these medabots
where put together. But the real secret for the martial arts
medabots were the medals.
Each medal seemed to hold some kind of advance collection
of martial arts, all of which seemed to have been designed
to match the complex and ever changing fighting style of the
medabots. Something that would go perfectly with his plans
for the medabots. Plans for domination of the world.
All that he was lacking was an unbeatable army. An army he
had discovered by accident during the Ten days of Darkness.
When the medabots went nuts world wide. When they had caused
world wide damage, destruction and terror. Just what his army
needed. The martial arts medabots, being the more powerful
of the types, would be perfect for his designs. But he needed
to have a way to control that destructive force to safeguard
his own safety.
That's why he needed someone who knew how the medabots medals
work. How they were created when compared to normal medals.
Someone like Shiroba... or his apprentice. The Saotome boy.
The son of Shiroba's partner, his reports seemed to tell that
this boy was an expert with martial arts medabot. And seemed to
know more than most people should.
But for the longest time he couldn't find the boy. He seemed
to drift from site to site, just out of reach of his agents.
He seemed to be only able to trace the boy by rumour.
He was still trying to have his agents update him about the
recent reports of the boy being in China. If they could catch
up with the boy, it would then be just a measure of trying to
capture the boy. He was an expert martial artist and seemed to
be still working at improving more and more with each report.
Soon there wouldn't any agent in his Bakerobos that would be
able to take the boy in a fair fight. Which was why they were
being trained to take the boy in unfair fights. He just needed
to catch him. Couldn't that boy stay in one place for a long enough
period of time to be traced.
But Obake could wait. Especially with his secondary plans coming
closer to being fulfilled.
