Shampoo was in the Clinic for the forth time that day. She was getting her ass handed to her by Zell and Tifa.
William Birkin walked in and gave Shampoo some tea.
She gladly accepted the drink and looked towards Aeris who was looking over Shampoo's X-Rays of broken bones and fractured ribs.
"You know Shampoo, you should really learn your limitations against those two." Aeris offered the advice in the friendliest manner possible.
"Yeah." The hideous beast known as William agreed.
"Why does beast-man sound gay?" Shampoo blurted out without choosing her words.
Aeris blinked a few times gathering the question trying to think of an easy way to explain. "Well. Uh. When I found his body he was almost dead. So I had to revive him. When I did he had a one track mind to kill. So I set him up on a machine to change his personality. I made be obedient, ready to hang around me around the clinic with absolutely no sexual desires, to top it all off I made it so he had the most respect possible for Cloud and the other trainers. With these things put into him along with his secret desires from his past he became a gay guy with the hots for Zell."
"Oh." Shampoo slowly gathered the info and stood to go another round with Tifa and Zell.
As she stepped out of the clinic a sword landed on the ground in front of her. It had a blue hilt and hand guard. On the hand guard was three golden triangles joined at the corners. After examining the sword Shampoo looked up to see a man in a green tunic and white pants. On his right arm was a shield. With his other hand he picked up the sword. He had blue eyes and blonde hair along with a green hat and elf ears.
He spoke breaking the silence between them. "Name's Link. Do you know where I can find Cloud or Sephiroth?"
Akane and Ranma stood in the graveyard as Magus lectured them about the importance of Ranma completing the training. After about half an hour of lecturing Magus led the teens to the remaining portal Ranma didn't enter. The black portal.
"This should be the easiest for you two. Other people would have this one so easily. You guys must take these pills and then enter." Magus held two red pill out in his hands.
"Okay." Ranma took the pill and popped it into his mouth. Akane followed the example. They then entered the black portal.
"Kids."Magus snickered before leaving the graveyard.
Link stood before Cloud with a letter of invitation. "You needed my help?"
"Yes." Cloud looked down at Link with sad eyes.
"What happened?"
"The man that was supposed to teach our avenger sword arts committed suicide last night."
"Oh God."
"Try to keep it low key. Only three of us besides you know. So don't mention it."
"Understood. So you need me to train a guy to use and master a sword in a day if I'm correct?"
"Yep." Cloud answered handing Link a sword to hold for Ranma to use when the training began. Cloud then turned to leave the room.
"Do you know why... he committed suicide?"
Cloud stopped in his tracks. "He remembered how his wife, Rinoa, died. It drove him to insanity in the night."
Link slowly chose his word carefully. "Who was it?"
Cloud looked at Link then back to the door. "Squall Leonheart."
Cloud left and met with Irvine, Squall's roommate, and Sephiroth in a secluded area of the graveyard. Sephiroth lowered the casket slowly into the ground. No one was to know about the suicide. Squall was too good of a hero and friend to be remembered dieing for such a dumb reason.
"Suicide. When it comes down to it. it is the worst death for anyone to experience." Sephiroth's only words at the service.
Cloud and Irvine nodded in agreement.
Ranma stood still in a dark area. He was surrounded by darkness. The only other thing he could see was Akane. She stood next to him in the dark area. Neither spoke as a light flickered on before them like a T.V. screen. In the light Ranma and Akane watched as their lives were shown. Not so much their lives but the best times they shared together.
Magus returned to the graveyard about an hour later to find Akane and Ranma fully awake and ready continue training.
"Well Ranma, how do you feel?" Magus created the green field. "Why don't you show me?"
Akane back up as a pink aura flared around Ranma. Ranma held his hands out and launched a pink Ki blast at Magus. As Magus read the pink blast's readings the blast turned white and the numbers in Magus' head sky rocketed.
Ranma started to feel new moves feeding into his head from Magus. Ranma separated his hands and presumed to use the Chestnuts Roasting Over An Open Fire tech. As Ranma's hands moved at lightning fast speeds, he launched one large Ki blast after another. Akane ran from the room as it filled with white explosion.
Ranma stopped and looked at Magus who held his scythe on the defensive.
Magus stared eye to eye with Ranma. "GO!"
Magus and Ranma leaped at each other. Energy that tensed between them destroyed nearby tombstones. Magus sent a large black sphere at Ranma. Ranma countered by using his Ki energy to create a barrier much like Magus did. The sphere reflected off Ranma and back at Magus. Ranma followed up by sending a large white blast at him. Magus absorbed the attack and sent a lightning bolt back at Ranma. Ranma followed more instructions that were fed into his brain. Ranma focused and started to lift off the ground. He was levitated. Ranma smirked and flew towards Magus with a large white aura around him. Magus face faulted and braced himself.
Akane walked into the room that Aeris assigned her. Cloud stood in the middle of the room with four trinkets in his hands. He handed them to Akane.
"What are these for?" Akane looked at Cloud confused as he handed the trinkets to her.
"You must leave now to get the others. Time is now very short. We have been trying for the last hour to stop her but she's coming."
"Who?"
"Profound Darkness."
Akane disappeared as Cloud ran towards the exit of the room to get everyone together.
Akane walked around Nerima looking for whoever she had to look for. Ryoga passed by and Akane pulled him off into an alley.
"A-Akane?" Ryoga looked at Akane in shock. From what he heard she disappeared. "I thought. But you. Where.?"
Akane didn't answer but instead shuffled through the trinkets she held. One in her hand shined among the others. It was a shackle much like Ranma's. It had a large emerald shaped like a sword.
"What's this for?" Ryoga asked as Akane snapped the shackle. He disappeared in seconds.
Akane looked at the last three trinkets. A chain bracelet with an amethyst shined brightly. Akane decided to look for that person first.
After a few minutes of walking Akane noticed that all of the trinkets began to shine brilliantly as she got closer to her house. After noticing she broke into a sprint.
She reached the Tendo house and pushed open the gates. She seemed to know automatically who the trinkets went to as she neared Mousse, Ukyo, and Pantyhose Tarou. Before anyone noticed her presence she placed the bracelet on Ukyo. She placed a leather and gold collar lined with garnet spikes around Mousse's neck, and a gold and onyx striped ring on Tarou's hand. Everyone including Akane disappeared and reappeared in the Mid-Realm with enough time to see Zell rushing them into the main hall.
After everyone was gathered, they sat in the main room with the doors to the training rooms. Magus and Sephiroth stood creating a large barrier to try to stop the inevitable assaults soon to come. Suddenly a loud roaring flame fell from the sky landing on the barrier. It burst through and crashed into the people below. Everyone managed to be protected by the backup barrier Ranma created. Ryoga, Mousse and Ukyo stared in awe.
After the blast, a woman fell from the sky and landed gracefully in front of the group of people.
"Leave here witch!" Cloud yelled at the woman.
She was around seven foot tall. She was naked and her entire body was metal. Long neon green hair flowed with electric lights. She also had two large metallic wings.
"Worthless human." Profound Darkness spoke with voice of machine and human. She held her hand out at Cloud. "MEGID!" A barrage of explosive fire balls flew at Cloud.
Sephiroth saw the shine in Cloud's eyes as the barrage hit. Sephiroth turned to the others. "RUN!"
The crowd of trainers ran followed by Shampoo. Ranma stayed. Sephiroth looked back to Cloud not noticing Ranma.
Cloud stood drawing his Buster Sword. Sephiroth drew the Masamune. Cloud looked at Sephiroth and nodded. Sephiroth nodded back. They both held their swords above their heads both holding their hilt and blade.
Cloud spoke. "OMNI-SLASH!"
Sephiroth followed up after. "PREPARE YOURSELF!"
Cloud ran up using the blade of his giant sword to lift Profound Darkness into the air. Once airborne Cloud and Sephroth kept slashing, teleporting to behind Profound Darkness, slashing more, and teleporting in front again to slash some more. The cycle continued for minutes on end. Profound Darkness fell followed by Cloud and Sephiroth who slammed the blades of the swords into the metallic woman. When they jumped back to get distance Profound Darkness stood with a red barrier around her.
"Damn." Cloud cursed as the barrier became a brighter red stopping any attacks that were to and already have come.
"SHEILD BREAKER!" A man in blue and gold chest armor ran in. He also had blue hair, a flowing blue cape, and a sword. A blue aura surrounded the beautifully decorated sword as it sliced through the field like a cleaver through hot butter. Following him was a man in the same blue chest armor. Instead of a blue cape and hair, he was brunette and had a red cape.
"BLAZER!" Fire erupted from the red caped man's equally decorated sword as he jumped into the air while slashing the metallic woman with his fiery blade.
"DOLPHIN BLOW!" The man in blue followed the 'blazer' with a similar, much colder, version of the upper blade strike.
Ranma acted as if on cue launching a barrage of Ki blasts at the weakened woman.
She lay still. Sephiroth slowly approached. When he was close enough he placed his hand on her head.
"SIN HAVESTING!" An orange light circled Sephiroth's body. After disappearing it reappeared creating a halo over Profound Darkness's head. She stood in pain. Her body burst into a roaring flame from Hell itself. Her skeleton crumpled to the ground vanishing in dust. Nothing was left except a shining emerald.
A green light shined in Ranma's pocket when he picked it up. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the small shining grey orb known as a key mold. Ranma placed the two together creating a green key.
"The green gem key." Cloud walked up to Ranma in awe.
"You mean that was." Ranma started to ask.
"A general? Yep." The man with blue hair walked up to Ranma. "Name's Marth."
"And I'm Roy." The man in the red cape walked up to Ranma with hand ready to shake.
Ranma shook their hands "Name's Ranma." Ranma looked over and decided to follow the silent Cloud and Sephiroth into the other room where everyone was waiting for the fight to be over. When Cloud entered with the heroes the group of people cheered as they saw Ranma enter with the full green gem key. Ryoga, Mousse, Tarou, Ukyo, Shampoo, and Akane were the only ones not cheering. They were also the only ones not filled in on the whole story.
Later that night Ranma lead Ryoga, Mousse, Tarou, Ukyo, Shampoo, and Akane to the main hall where Cloud and Sephiroth were to be waiting. When the two winged warriors came into view Ryoga spoke up.
"Small question, what the hell is going on here.?"
Mousse followed up. "Yeah. I need to know what's going on before I see a large glowing green thing like that."
"I'm surprised you saw that much with your vision. You didn't even have your glasses on." Tarou looked at the blind boy and snickered.
"Yes I did." Mousse argued.
"No Mousse didn't. Shampoo saw." Shampoo argued back at Mousse.
"Shampoo." Mousse went to hug the closest person thinking it was Shampoo. Instead he met Ukyo's battle spatula.
"I'm a little curious too." Akane added into Ryoga's question.
Ranma looked to Cloud and nodded. Cloud nodded back and handed Ranma another tiny grey orb known as a mold. He then pointed to door two.
Sephiroth started to explain the whole story to the group of teens. Ranma heard the start of the conversation before he entered the room marked '2'.

Toxic Dragon: CHAPTER FIVE!!! Finally I can get more reviews to see if my ideas are good. Sorry Squall fans. I played Super Smash Brothers Melee for nine hours straight and now I'm in a mood to put Marth, Roy, and Link in the story. If anything is a little different then their original personalities, please forgive me. I only know them from playing Super Smash Brothers Melee. Sorry for any inconveniences. Chapter Six should be up soon. IT'S SUMMER VACATION!!! Only thing that can stop me is the report cards that come in the mail. :(
Until next time, this is Toxic Dragon, signing offline.
