Disclaimer: No No, I don't own Ranma or any other characters in the series
but Cloud, Starr the Phoenix Duo and their attacks are all mine!!! Heh...
anyway ON WITH THE FIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Starr, a normal person again, and Akane walk out from the bathroom and sit down again
"I'm assuming that because you and the Phoenix Duo were able to get here with out me detecting you, you can mask your ki," says Onna-Ranma
"Yeah you learn to kinda quickly when you don't want those two to know you're coming, it took a good amount of training to hide our ki from them" responds Cloud
"Speaking of which, if you are going to stay here you will train Ranma to use some of your techniques," insisted Genma
Cloud looks over "Uh... ok. But it isn't going to be easy"
"I aint afraid of anything. Well... except cats"
"Alright then. We will start now because it may take a while to learn the techniques and the idiots could be back anytime now"
"But knowing them they'll send in lots of mercenaries in hopes of wearing you down. So Starr you'll protect the dojo since we both know how weak the mercenaries are"
"Yeah" agrees Starr
"C'mon Ranma show me to somewhere we can train. Oh and you can get some hot water" Cloud says as he gets up
"Kasumi hot water please"
"Sure Ranma I'll be right back" she says as she walks into the kitchen
Kasumi comes back into the room with the water, pours it on Ranma and he gets up
"Follow me"
"Ok"
Ranma and Cloud walk to the Yard
"Alright Ranma go up against the wall. The training starts now. You will have to destroy all the objects thrown at you with a ki blast. It doesn't have to be big it just has to hit the blades" Cloud starts as he is surrounded by white blades of ki that are relatively small
"Alright" Ranma says not showing any sign of fear
'He thinks he's good... but to learn this technique he's gonna need more than strength' Thins cloud with a smirk
He raises his hand then points towards Ranma and the blades of white ki fly towards him
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back in the house~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*yawn* Starr looks around as she waits for one of the mercenaries to come
'Nice place... I wonder how long Ranma's been cursed' she thought as she heard a yell
"Ranma Saotome! It is I the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High! I wish to finish on our challenge which you ran from today, no doubt fearing my power and skill"
Starr lazily walked outside
"Hm? Who are you?" she asked
"I am The Blue Thunder of Furinkan High. Kuno! I have come hear to defeat the sorcerer Saotome and free the pig-tailed girl and dear Akane."
"Were you hit in the head or something?" asks Starr
"No! I only came here to challenge the fiend Saotome"
"Well he's training right now. You can fight me instead. I need a warm up for the real fighters" Said Starr
"Wha? Are you saying that I am not a fighter? I Challenge you!"
"Yes and alright. Now come on I'll give you first move," Starr says lazily as she waits
"That fair lady is something you'll regret" Kuno says as he charges towards Starr with his wooden katana
Starr yawns and moves to the side easily avoiding Kuno then kicks him into the wall
"Wimp..."
"Ranma!!! Today you die!!!" says a voice
"Oh wonderful another warm-up" says Starr as she looks back to see Ryouga
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back in the yard~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ranma now looks severely scratched up
"Well Ranma that was pretty good for a first try" Says Cloud
"Thanks"
"But of course you only hit a couple out of about 1000"
"Great" Ranma says sarcastically
"Well wanna try again?"
"Do I have any other choice?
"No"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~About an 2 hours later outside the dojo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well well... lets see that's about 14 people that have just been a warm," Starr says as she looks over at the pile of people, which includes Kuno, Ryouga, Shampoo, Kodachi, Mousse and Happosai
"Boy that old guy sure gave me a hard time though," She thought as she looked at Happosai
Ranma walks over looking extremely cut and Cloud follows but without a scratch on him
"Taking a break?" asks Starr
"Nope. Seems I underestimated Ranma. He's learned the Ten Baku Dan already"
"Yeah but not without getting a little bruised up" comments Starr
"See... I told you I'd learn it quick"
"I guess you were right," says Cloud
"Ha! We are back! Just as we promised!" yells a male voice from behind the three
Everyone turns around and sees Tenbaka and Neko-chan
"Wow ki clones. Very advanced technique" comments Cloud
"We are not clones! We are real!" yells Neko-chan
"Oh really? Then how'd Tenbaka heal so quickly from my attack? I know for a fact it takes longer to heal than that" says cloud
"Enough talk! Fight now!" Yells Tenbaka
"Alright. Starr you got Neko-chan I got Tenbaka. Let's go" Yells Cloud as he charges in to attack
{SUITEN-DAN!!!} (Heavenly water-projectile)
A ball of blue and white ki fires at Cloud but he counters with his own attack
{IKAUZUCHI BAKU!!!} (Thunder Blast)
A beam destroys the suiten-dan and hits Tenbaka head on
When Tenbaka reaches the ground he dissolves
"Just as I thought... a ki clone" He says as he watches Tenbaka dissolve
Cloud looks over to see that the clone of Neko-chan is dissolving
"Well now that that's over how about we go inside," says Starr
"Sure" says Ranma then he notices the pile of people
"Whoa... who did that?" he asks amazed
"Me!" Starr exclaims
Ranma is just amazed
'Damn... she even took out the perverted old man' thinks Ranma as he walks into the house followed by Starr and Cloud
"So Ranma how's the training going?" asks Soun
"I've already learned one technique" he responds
"YOU HAVE?" Soun asks
"Yeah he has... and a very helpful one too" says Cloud
"I've come here to defeat you Tendo Dojo!" yells a male voice from outside the dojo
"Ok... from now on we fight in shifts. One person will fight for an hour unless badly injured, though I doubt it will happen" says cloud
"Ok" the other two agree
"Ranma how 'bout you go out and try out the new technique" offers Cloud with a grin
"Gladly" he says while cracking his knuckles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Outside~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Finally a challenger" says the man who seems to be twice Ranma's size
"Whoa you're my challenger? Aren't you a little small?" asks the guy
"Shut up and stand still so I can try my little trick on you... this won't hurt a bit," says Ranma
{TEN BAKU DAN!!!} (Heaven blast projectile)
Thousands of ki blades start to rain down on the big guy and when it stops he is extremely scratched up, even worse than Ranma, and falls to the ground
After about an hour of using the technique Ranma looks a little tired
"Alright Ranma your shift is over it's my turn now!" says Cloud as he walks out
"I have come to defeat the Tendo Dojo," says a ninja
"Well well, if it isn't yaburi. This is great a bounty practically falls into my hands"
"So it's Cloud. My greatest enemy. I haven't seen you in years. And no doubt the years without fights from me has softened you up!!!" He yells as he charges in to attack
"Wrongo! I've learned some new moves old buddy" responds Cloud as he easily sidesteps Yaburi's charge and gives him a swift kick in the stomach
"Good move. But you still aren't able to defeat me!" he says as he launches hundreds of ninja stars
Cloud quickly counters with an attack of his own
"Heh you haven't learned anything have you?"
{TEN BAKU DAN!!!}
all the ninja stars are destroyed
"Now to deal with you directly!!!" he yells to Yaburi
{KAZE RYU KEN!!!} (Wind dragon fist)
Tornadoes form around Cloud's hand and his forearm
He charges forward and hits Yaburi who is then surrounded by a tornado
"You'll like this one... it surrounds you in a tornado that scratches you up very badly and sucks the air away like a vacuum making the cuts worse and knocking you unconscious" Cloud comments as he admires his handy work
The tornado subsides and Yaburi falls to the ground with many many many cuts on him and he's unconscious
"Hey Ranma! Have some one call the police so I can get my reward on this guy" Cloud yells to Ranma
"Alright!" he yells back as he walks back into the house
"heh... I know you'll escape easily and then I can catch you again and get even more money! Oh the joys of being a bounty hunter" Cloud says to the unconscious Yaburi
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A little less than an hour later~~~~~~~~~
"Well now it's your turn Starr" says Cloud as he walks in
"Yeah!" she says obviously happy as she walks out
"I'm here on orders of the Phoenix Duo to defeat the Tendo Dojo! I'm the elite Guardsman of the Phoenix Tower here to defeat you!... You're just a girl... How could you defeat all those others if you're just a girl... HAHA! The others were so weak they were defeated by a girl"
"That is a comment you'll live to regret" She says as she starts to crack her knuckles
"C'mon guard guy! I'll give you first move!"
"Now THAT is a comment YOU'LL live to regret... but then again you may not live to regret it! HAHA!"
"forget my kind gesture you're goin' down" She yells as she delivers a swift kick to his stomach and then to his head
{HIRYU KEN} (Flying dragon fist)
one punch to the guards head and he was down
"Who's the weakling now?" she taunts
"I'm taking a nap" Says cloud as he slowly falls asleep
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~An Hour later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We're back! IT's the real us this time!" Yells a voice which the three easily recognize as Tenbaka's
The three go out to see a battle scarred Tenbaka and Neko-chan
"Well it's the real them alright... lets fight!" says Cloud
"Bring out all your fighters!" Says Neko-chan
"We are all out" replies Ranma
"Oh well... this time we will not lose!" yells Tenbaka
"Whatever... lets fight!!!" Yells Cloud as he rushes in to attack
"I'll start!" yells Ranma
{TEN BAKU DAN!!!!!}
Ki blades rain onto both Tenbaka and Neko-chan because of their close proximity to each other
"My Turn!!!" Yells Cloud
{KAZE RYU KEN!!!}
He hits Tenbaka and he is surrounded in the tornado
"Finally a challenge" yells Starr as she runs in to attack
{HIRYU KEN!}
She punches Neko-chan in the stomach and knocks her unconscious
The tornado around Tenbaka subsides to show him barely awake
He grabs Neko-chan
"We'll be back!!!" he yells right before he disappears
"Hey I just thought of something" says Ranma
"Starr. If you're a girl why didn't you just jump into the spring of the drowned girl?" asks Ranma
"Uh... I don't know why we didn't think of that... we'll probably go back and get me healed after we're done here." She replies
"I guess the spring of the drowned boy is dried up because you still turn into a girl," says Cloud who is kind of down
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Somewhere else~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I see you could not defeat Ranma" Says a voice to the kneeling Tenbaka and Neko-chan
"No sir. They had help." Says Tenbaka
"Still I would expect better from my lackeys" says the voice
"Yes Master we are sorry it won't happen again!"
"It better not. I want you to get them to come here. All of them. So that way I can defeat Ranma and any others that might oppose me once and for all! Now go and Kidnap the one called Akane! I will get my revenge on Ranma for what he did to me"
"Yes... Master Saffron"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~END~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whoa! A cliff hanger! Saffron is back and with a vengeance ! Will he be able to defeat Ranma? And Just where are they??? All this and more explained in the next chapter! So remember to tip your waiter and Please REVIEW
