************ Endless Sorrow*************
Watching the gate turn opposite directions and sealing, as guns of immense power were aimed at him. Ranma could only think of one thing.
Ranma : Shit.......
Without warning the cannons on the gate fired simultaneously, as lead balls streaked toward Ranma. Not even wasting a second, Ranma threw his arms out and burst into the fourth evolution. The power that came off of his body, knocked the balls out of the air and directed them toward the ships. The lead rained down on the ships like a meteor storm, crashing through the hulls and destroying their ships. Ranma turned toward the gate, his eyes glowing a blood drawn red as his body pulsed with energy.
Ranma : Open the gates, or be destroyed
His voice left nothing to the imagination, as it's heated anger nearly shook the Valuan's to the bone. After a few speechless minutes, Ranma growled to himself and powered down slightly as his hair took on a gold shine, and stood up above his head as if defying gravity. Floating down so that he was staring the gate directly in the middle, he powered up his aura. The ocean under him began to push outward as if by a unseen force.
Ranma : Last chance!
Ranma held one hand above his head as energy crackled to life and burned into view. A globe about the size of a medicine ball lifted from his palm and settled into the air above him. Ranma growled as he got no response from the people who controlled the gate. With a snort of disgust, he launched the raw Ki at the gate and blew a gaping hold in the center. Everyone's mouth. who watched this happen, seemed to drop as this one person came from nowhere and did the thing they thought impossible. Valuan has been penetrated. Ranma burst into action as his aura raged around him and he flew through the hold as his powers diminished and left him as his original form.
Ranma : Damn.... I'm running out of energy... That flux before is having a powerful affect on my reserves.
With a sigh Ranma continued forward and floated toward the large castle that was surrounded by homes. He couldn't help but think that this would be the place he needed to go. As he continued forward, he allowed his aura to surround him in a protective barrier. His face was starting to get covered with sweat as his energy seemed to drain from his body at an accelerated rate. His breath had gone ragged and his eyes were shining with emptiness. With a heart filled sigh, Ranma drifted toward the large castle's stairs, and landed on them lightly before looking around. He looked at one side, which was decorated with lights and beautiful arranged flowers. Then he swiveled to the other side, and noticed the dark and damp sites that the people who lived there had to see forever. He shook his head, before pushing forward, and opening the main gate effortlessly. Moonstones from around the world, started to glow a fierce color as the energy swirled in the sky and blasted to one point. As soon as the light filtered through the inside, Ranma felt his body being ripped apart.
----- another dimension -------
Ranma appeared miles above the ground, as he looked around. Shock played across his face as the planet's very essence seemed,... disturbed. He was about to turn around and fly toward Britanny's home, when a blur appeared before him and kicked him in the face, sending Ranma spiraling toward the ground. With great effort, Ranma's aura burst around him and stopped him before he was inches from the ground.
Ranma : Who's there?!?
Drakan : Well, Well.... if it isn't the unknown savior. I had a premonition that I would find you here.
Ranma : That's all well and good, for you. But what does that have to do with you attacking me?
Drakan : (under his breath) Unknown,... that is what he meant (out loud) Don't you know who I am?
Ranma : If I did, would it explain anything?
Drakan : Guess not,... all well. Anyways, I have found your weakness. Time for you to die.
Drakan's body flashed as Ranma was thrown against a metal girdle, something fastening around his wrists tightly. Drakan then weaved a form of magic around the bonds, so that Ranma won't escape. He then lowered himself to where Ranma was struggling, and grinned.
Ranma : What the hell! LET ME GO!
Drakan : Can't do that,... I have to kill you in order to protect my planet. But, it's not fun if you aren't at your peak!
Ranma : Fine,... a fight is all you want?
Drakan : Yes, and I have a way of bringing out your true power, early on in the fight.
Ranma : Do tell.......
Drakan : well.........
Drakan then pulls down a curtain that was covering a girder, that was parallel to Ranma's. When the sheet was away from the top, Ranma's breath caught.
Britanny : R-Ranma? HELP ME!
Drakan : Well. how touching, the old bat was right. I'll have to thank that girl dressed in black.
Ranma : Bastard,... don't touch her!
Drakan slashed out and cut a thin line across Britanny's throat. Ranma clenched his eyes shut as he witnessed Britanny's immanent death before his eyes again. All of it being too much for him to handle. His head fell limp to his chest, as tears streamed out. He tried to free himself from the magical bonds, only to groan in frustration as they wouldn't budge. Even in his fourth level, these bonds were holding him back. Ranma looked up again, the tears still running down his face. They renewed with hidden vigor as Drakan used one of his saber like nails to slash across her chest, blood pouring from her body. Ranma's eyes locked with Britanny's and came to each of their own conclusions. With a maniacal laugh, Drakan sliced his finger across her throat, beheading Britanny without even trying. Ranma's eyes widened as he watched her lifeless and headless body fall to the ground, impacting with a splash of blood. Ranma's head once again fell lifelessly toward the ground, the tears not stopping for anything, and his aura raging out of control
Drakan : I WILL push you to the next level Ranma! Whether I have to kill everyone you love or not!
Ranma : S... stop it................ STOP IT!!
Ranma's head whipped up, his eyes glowing a pitch black as red tendrils of energy ripped from the ground around him. Blue energy seemed to rain from the sky as they collided with one and another, raging for control of Ranma's body.
-- FLASH --
Britanny stands beside the bed in a loose purple nightgown and smiles at Ranma
-- FLASH --
Britanny giggles as Ranma falls into one of the nearby ponds as they trek through the forest.
-- FLASH --
Britanny is sitting beside the healing tank, watching Ranma's bloodied body hovering there, recovering.
-- FLASH --
Ranma is sitting on the ground, Scarface behind him laughing. Ranma shakes Britanny's prone body, much to no avail. Ranma reaches stage one of the legendary Super Saiya-jin.
-- FLASH --
Britanny is sitting beside Ranma, her gaze crossing along his body, and her blush heavy across her face.
-- FLASH --
Ranma watched Britanny's head being cleaved off by Drakan... the final straw. The stage has been set. Death to those who hurt his family.
-- FLASH -- -- FLASH -- -- FLASH -- -- FLASH -- -- FLASH -- -- FLASH -- -- FLASH --
Ranma laid still on the girdle, his eyes covered by his hair as the energies fought for reign over him. Then without a word, they stopped and were absorbed into his body and filling it with a black glow.
Drakan : Finally! The time has come boy... the final fight! SHOW ME THE POWER!
Ranma looked up barely, his eyes still covered by his hair, which was growing by the second until it was down to his ankles.
Ranma : Y-You,... you bastard,.... HOW DARE YOU!
The wind picked up, blowing around the dessert's sand and picking it up. Suddenly a tornado of sand burst around Ranma's body as lightning arced from him. The lightning tore at the ground, exploding even the biggest mountains into dust.
Drakan : YES! THIS POWER! SHOW ME IT! BRING IT OUT!
In the midst of the tornado, Ranma's tears shown with a greenish light as his body changed. His arms became bulkier, and his hair changed to a pitch black with a silver strip down the center. His chest pushed outward, showing a great might. Ranma's head slammed upward, his eyes glowing with a fierce and blood red. Outside the tornado of power, Drakan noticed the red lights and grinned like a schoolboy. Just like it started, everything ceased, and the sand fell back down to the ground. When all of it had settled, Drakan looked at the girdle and was shocked when Ranma was no longer there. He then doubled over as intense pain filled his stomach. He looked up and saw Ranma's glowing form's knee, pushed deep inside of him. Ranma pulled it from Drakan's stomach and slammed the back of his fist into Drakan's head, sending him hurtling toward the ground. His body sliding over the surface and exploding through the remaining rocks, only to come to a stop a ways away and embedded in a larger mountain.
Drakan : So this... Is the .... power of the fifth level........ Amazing.
Ranma's body phased from sight and blurred as he neared closer and closer to Drakan. He watched in horror as he couldn't even keep up with Ranma's movements. At the last second, Drakan jumped from his seat and watched with amusement as Ranma seemed not to slow down.
Drakan : Idiot... he's going to run into the mountain.
Without losing any momentum, Ranma's body looked like it stopped, then blasted upward toward Drakan. With wide eyes, he could do nothing as Ranma's fist slammed into his face. Ranma flipped over Drakan's body, his leg slamming into Drakan's head, throwing him downward. Ranma turned slightly and looked down at Drakan's bloodied body, as it laid deep inside of a freshly made crater. Without pause, Ranma brought his hands forward, collecting the energy around him. Knowing Drakan was helpless where he was, Ranma poured his energy into this one attack. He brought his arms to his side, the energy spilling out from around his fingers. With a blood curdling scream Ranma's aura blasted into existence, collecting in between his hands. Power drained from his body, shifting him from the fifth level down to the fourth, then the third, then the second, the first, until finally he was in his original state.
Drakan : NO! DON'T! You'll destroy this world!
Ranma : It's not a world without her.
Ranma disappeared from view and reappeared before Drakan, the energy crackling and sparkling with power. With a smirk, he slammed it into Drakan's chest. The energy ripped around him, tendrils crossing the planet, leaving it's mark on the surface. The beam continued through Drakan and into a large hole, heading deep into the planets center. When the blast filled the rest of the planet, Ranma gave a smile as his body was ripped apart. His final words ;
I'm coming Britanny.... Forever.
********************
Up in heaven, Kami's eyes were as wide as planets. He never suspected another evolution after the fourth!
Kami : Holy shit.........
Pluto : I told you........
Kami : I thought you were fucking with me.
Kami watched with complete and utter shock as the planet he so longed to keep in one piece, was shattered by one person.
Kami : He did all this....... for her?
Pluto : You underestimated the power of his love... Now you have paid the price.
Kami : Shit.. If I had known this would have happened.... I would never have tried to keep him away from her. The great evil that was foretold.... taken out with EASE, just because he took the life of Britanny Diggers.
Pluto : You can correct it you know.
Kami : Huh?
Pluto (Sighing) : Go back to the first time you ever intervened, and stop yourself. Of course, you will have to change their names back the originals.
Kami (Sweat drop) : You noticed huh?
Pluto : Of course......
Kami : Well,.... you have to admit,... it was pretty good. After all, they were fated for each other.
Pluto : I know, but that little change ended up destroying the world. If you never changed it, and let him live out his life here... then none of this would have happened. Sure there would be some trouble, but it would be taken care of without him. He would have a peaceful life, and you would still have a planet.
Kami (Narrowed eyes) : Your having fun with this aren't you.... knowing 'god' is wrong.....
Pluto (Cheery smile) : Of course! Wouldn't have it any other way.
Kami sighed and waved his hands around, magic of divine purpose and chaotic energies swirling in the air, combining and destroying alike. They flashed with power as the planet earth was once again reborn.
Kami : It is done...
He waved his hands again and a small orb appeared, with Ranma's sleeping face in the center of it. Pluto smiled sadly, knowing she wouldn't know her son..... ever.
*****************
Ranma woke up and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He looked around before looking outside and noticed it was still dark out. "What the heck, why is it so dark out" He glanced over to the small electronic clock and his eyes bugged out 'three thirty in the morning!' he screamed at the injustice of it all. He rolled over in his futon and accidentally struck something with his balled fist of sleepiness. He blinked and looked at the figure for a moment and smiled, as he remembered the night before.
+++++++++++++++
Ranma was at a end of middle school party as he walked around the room, smiling at the people and meeting the ones he didn't know. His eyes rested upon a woman that stood out among the rest. She casually brushed off every guy that asked her to dance and physically hit the ones who tried to make a move on her. He smiled genuinely and walked over to her slowly. When he got there he looked at her and blinked, noticing why she looked so different. Her hair had spots of black in the complex pattern of blonde, and her eyes had a somewhat slit of cat in them. She looked at him and narrowed her eyes "What are you looking at, *Boy*"
Ranma was snapped out of his revelry as he smiled at her, startling her a bit. "Hi, my name's Ranma. What's yours?"
He tilted his head slightly, making the girl blush as she found him cute "I'm...." Multiple names blasted through her head, until it came onto a clear decision "Cyan"
------------------------------------------------------------
THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HEHEHE, I've been telling you all along... that you would never guess my intentions for this. What did you think of Kami changing Britanny's name :D
Britanny (in my story) is actually Cyan, because in the 'Ranma universe' there was no Cyan, so she became her.......
In essence... Britanny would never come to exist, and The diggers would never know her or Brianna.... so thanks to Kami's actions, Ranma's fated partner became someone totally different. Since it was placed back to it's original state..... Cyan will have 'Britanny' as a daughter.
E-mail me what you think....... If you liked the ending..... disliked it? Hated it? TELL ME!!!
