Part 2: Ranma and Setsuna Duel it out
************************************************************************
Later, outside by the koi pond, Ranma and Setsuna were preparing to face off as everyone watched. Setsuna had changed into a similar outfit as Ranma. The only difference was that Setsuna wore a black Chinese shirt with red buttons and long sleeves, while Ranma wore his white, sleeveless Chinese shirt; they both had black baggy pants on. Setsuna's had red ties like his shirt. Ranma took his stance.
Ranma: You ready?
Setsuna: *still in his standing position* Bring it on.
Ranma and Setsuna faced off. Ranma opened by charging at Setsuna with his arms spread wide and threw a right uppercut followed by a spinning backhand. Setsuna merely leaned away from the uppercut and jump back to avoid the backhand. Ranma followed through with series of punches and kicks that Setsuna dodged and blocked, but never swung back.
Ranma: {What's he planning? Why hasn't he swung back at me? Fine then, time to see what he's got.}
Ranma closed the gap between him and Setsuna, then unleashed his Katsu Tenshin Amakuriken at Setsuna. Everyone gasped as Ranma's fist blurred. Setsuna dropped back, then countered Ranma's Katsu Tenshin Amakuriken with one of his own. Ranma was shocked at the fact that Setsuna knew the same technique he did. He noticed that Setsuna wasn't as fast as he was and pressed his attack. Setsuna knew right away his Katsu Tenshin Amakuriken wasn't as quick as Ranma's, but knew he could catch his brother in a trap with it. Setsuna allowed Ranma to push him back a little, then suddenly let Ranma's fists collide with his forearms, then quickly grabbed Ranma's wrists and threw them wide. Setsuna shifted his stance to his left leg, placed his right arm behind his back, left his left hand in front of him, and started the use his right leg to rapidly strike at Ranma with the speed of a Katsu Tenshin Amakuriken. Ranma quickly recovered and started his attack again, but soon found that his arms weren't faster then Setsuna's leg. In fact, every time Ranma threw a punch, Setsuna's foot was already there to block it. Everyone was stunned by how Setsuna was actually giving Ranma a challenge.
Nabiki: Wow, it looks like Setsuna-baby is giving Ranma a run for his money,
Soun: Such power…
Nodoka: I hope they don't hurt each other.
Yu Long: Don't worry, they won't.
Ranma couldn't keep this up forever. Suddenly, Ranma had a plan; he let Setsuna press his attack for a bit longer, while drawing him into a spiral.
Ranma: Time to fly Setsuna.
Setsuna: Huh?
Ranma: HIRYUSHOTENHA!!!
Ranma sent Setsuna flying into the air with the force of his hiryushotenha. Setsuna had reached the maximum height for his upward flight and was now heading back down to earth. Setsuna performed a back flip in mid-air and leveled himself out so he was heading down in a stand position. He drew his hands in front of his chest, facing each other and started to form a ball of silver ki about the size of a basketball in his hands.
Setsuna: SKY DRAGON BLAST!!!
Ranma: Nani!?!
Setsuna blasted the silver ball of ki at Ranma. The ball turned into a beam and then a dragon seemed to wrap its way down the beam directly hitting Ranma in the chest. Ranma was stunned at the fact that Setsuna recovered from his hiryushotenha, and then fired a ki attack at him. Ranma braced himself for the blast. The blast a ki impacted with Ranma and sent him flying back 9 yards. Setsuna landed gracefully and returned to his standing position. Ranma got to his feet and shook his head to get the cobwebs out. Ranma was stunned.
Ranma: {How did Setsuna do that?}
Setsuna: What? Surprised? You thought I spent seventeen years growing up in the Omni Dragon Temple and didn't learn strong ki attacks?
Ranma now had a feel for what Setsuna could throw at him. Or at least thought he did…
Ranma: {All right, he's fast and strong, like me. At least I'm getting a challenge.}
Ranma started to focus his ki. Setsuna sensed the sudden change in the flow of Ranma's ki.
Setsuna: {What's he planning?}
Ranma: MOKOTAKABISHA!!!
Setsuna: {Ah Shit!}
Ranma attack connected with Setsuna and sent him back a few yards, just like his did to Ranma, but not as far. Setsuna, just like Ranma, got up and shook the cobwebs out. Ranma took his stance, while Setsuna merely stood their.
Ranma: {How can he just stand there? Doesn't he have some sort of stance?}
Setsuna: {Come on little bro, think. Why do I always stand like this? Think.}
Ranma: {How can he… wait! That IS his stance! I can't believe I didn't realize that sooner.}
Ranma charged at Setsuna ready to deliver a few hundred punches.
Setsuna: {Good Ranma, you figured out this is my stance. To bad you made a moronic move}
Setsuna drew his hands back and formed another silver ball, but this one was a bit smaller.
Ranma: Huh?
Setsuna: You shouldn't have charged… DRAGON'S CLAW!!!
Setsuna released the ball of ki at Ranma. The blast of ki formed into a dragon's claw a few seconds after leaving Setsuna's hands. The blast hit Ranma before he could stop and sent him back a yard or two.
Soun: It would appear that both your sons are pretty evenly matched Saotome.
Genma: Almost Tendo, Setsuna seems to be able to draw Ranma into his traps too easily.
Nabiki: *smirk on face* Setsuna seems very crafty.
Meanwhile, while their parents talked, Ranma had gotten up was prepared to face off with Setsuna, who finally dropped into a fighting stance. The two were just about to charge each other, when a figure that was lying in the shadows jump out and stood in front of Setsuna, facing Ranma, and was… growling? There was a wolf between Ranma and Setsuna. Ranma looked shocked, as did the spectators.
Akane: A a…w-wolf.
Nabiki: How?
Soun/Genma/Nodoka: …
Yu Long: Hmmm.
Kasumi: Oh my.
Ranma: How the…
Everyone seemed surprised at the wolf's sudden appearance, everyone except Setsuna. He seemed to be looking at the wolf with analytical eyes.
Setsuna: {Hm, silver fur, patch of blue fur on tip of tail, scar over left eye…} *eyes widen in revelation* Legia!?!
The wolf looked behind it and then rushed over to Setsuna. Legia jumped on Setsuna, sending him to the ground. Everyone gasped, thinking the wolf was attacking Setsuna. That is, until they heard Setsuna laughing.
Setsuna: Ha ha, hey come on, heh heh, quit it Legia.
Ranma: Huh? Do you know that wolf Setsuna?
Setsuna: Know it, hell we grew up together.
All: Nani?
*/*\*
Everyone sat around the table, a little unnerved by the wolf that Setsuna was petting.
Setsuna: So what do you want to know about Legia?
Soun: F…first of all, h how do you kn know this w wolf?
Setsuna: Oh, that's easy, you see when I told you that the wolves started living at the temple; they also hung around me a lot.
Ranma: Who taught you those moves?
Setsuna: The monks taught me a lot, but so did the wolves.
All expect Yu Long: NANI?
Setsuna: Yeah, I learned how to communicate with the wolves.
Ranma: Really?
Setsuna: Oh yeah, I was actually very simple since I grew up around them. This guy right here *pets Legia* was one of my first friends. Looks like he's been following me.
Akane: What an incredible story.
Nodoka: Yes; oh my, look at the time. You kids have school tomorrow; it's time to turn in.
Ranma/Akane/Nabiki: Ok, goodnight.
Genma: *looking at Setsuna* That means you too, boy.
Setsuna: Right, goodnight.
Setsuna made his way up stairs then stopped. He looked around for a bit then looked behind him. There was Legia, still following Setsuna.
Setsuna: *petting Legia* I don't think Ranma is going to like a wolf sleeping in his room.
Setsuna walked to Ranma's room and went in. Ranma was getting his futon out when he noticed Legia.
Ranma: *nervous* Uh, Setsuna?
Setsuna: Sorry Ranma, But he wants to sleep near me. That ok with you?
Ranma: I guess, as long as he won't bite me.
Setsuna: Oh don't worry, he knows you're family.
Ranma and Setsuna set up their own futons and turned in for the night. Ranma somehow felt a little uneasy with a wolf sleeping next to him.
Ranma: {As if a giant Panda was any better.}
Down stairs, Nodoka, Kasumi, Genma, Soun, and Yu Long were talking.
Nodoka: We can't thank you enough for finding our son Yu.
Yu Long: Please, don't mention it.
Genma: We owe you so much Yu.
Yu Long: Nonsense, you saved my life Genma, it is only fitting that I pay back your kindness by returning a life to you.
Soun: So, you searched for seventeen years to find Setsuna?
Yu Long: Yes, though it wasn't an easy task.
Kasumi: Father, it's getting late, we should set up a place for Mr. Yu Long to Sleep.
Yu Long: No, no, that's quite alright, I must be on my way.
Soun: Come now, it's such a horrid hour. Won't you stay?
Yu Long: Thank you, but no. Seventeen years of travel has accustomed me to the night air. I'm afraid I must be going.
Soun: Very well, thank you for your company.
Nodoka: Please visit us again sometime.
Yu Long: Thank you, I just might. Farewell.
Kasumi: Have a safe trip.
Genma: Farewell, old friend.
Nodoka: Goodbye, and thank you again.
Soun: So long.
Yu Long left the dojo and disappeared into the night. Soun, Genma, Nodoka, and Kasumi all turned in for the night. Awaiting the coming of dawn.
