I don't own Ranma ½ or Flame of Recca. I am so far in debt because of college that I may never get out so don't even bother suing me.

Warning I went to school for engineering so I am a terrible writer. Hell I barely passed high school because of my English grades. So if the writing sucks I'm sorry I'm trying my best.

The Left Hand of Chaos

What he said, plus.. I will attempt to catch all bad ideas in their tracks and make my own bad ideas therefore either causing a downward spiral of madness, or and excellent piece of literature. Either way it will be fun to do.

The Roni

The Chaos and The Flame

Prologue

The night before Ranma and Genma go to china;

It was a dark night on the island of Japan. Genma was sneaking around the side of a heavily guarded building; planning to rob the place, pardon, borrow from the place. The building itself was comprised of many layers of concrete upon a titanium frame, surrounded by tons of razor wire, armed guards, two attack dogs, and many cameras.

Sneaking in, through an open ventilation shaft, Genma emerged onto the ground floor of the building. Stealthily moving between the shadows, doorframes and the occasional donut box, Genma avoided the security to the Third sub-basement of the building. Upon inspection of the otherwise empty floor, Genma comes to stop in front of a sealed vault door, circular with a 9-foot diameter. Knocking on the door Genma figured it was a bout 2 ½ feet thick and made of titanium. Staring at the computer lock upon the door, he figured it would take him weeks just to figure out how to make it work. Unsealing the Yama-sen-ken for a brief moment Genma ripped the door from its hinges and set it down gently against the wall.

In the security room;

A lone security guard reclines in his chair, asleep, with a manga draped over his face. Blaring alarms wake up him from his slumber. Glancing down at the security screens before him, all were focused upon a site that sent a small shiver down the guards back, upon each screen was a picture of the High security vault, something that was rumored to be able to withstand the explosive force of a SAM (Surface to Air Missile), ripped clean from the wall and was now standing against the adjacent one. Quickly changing the screen in front of him to the room behind vault doors, he sees a lone figure, quickly moving throughout the lab, setting off the building wide alarm, he puts a broadcast over all of the walkie-talkies alerting the security teams to converge upon the third sub-basement vault.

Back in the now Unsealed vault;

Genma darted about the giant room, every wall was covered with computers of one sort or the other. The flashing lights, like so many yen pieces glittered in his eyes. Averting his eyes from the buttons he noticed against the far wall a cabinet of sorts. Rushing over he opened it and saw nothing but papers within it, catching he eye though was a pamphlet labeled "The Springs of Jusenkyo" sitting on top of a pile of papers with the same word, Jusenkyo, upon them. Quickly pocketing the pamphlet, Genma ducked just in time to avoid a bullet aimed at his head. The guards begin filing into the room weapons drawn. Genma ducks down behind a large computer as shots begin to echo around him.

"Give yourself up now!!" the captain of the guard shouts in Genma's direction.

Thinking quickly Genma uses a kajin rashu dan to destroy some of the giant computers in the center of the lab. Quickly smoke and fire begin to fill the room. The guards within the room involuntarily duck back from the explosion. Using the Umi-sen-ken, Genma steps into the shadows and gets back to the ventilation shaft. Emerging upon the other side of the wall, he lowers himself to the ground and glanced around, he hears sirens blaring but not a guard to be seen. Congratulating himself on a job well done, he heard a growling sound behind him. Turning around, he noticed the two guard dogs staring at him like a Christmas ham. Running like he was being chased by a pack of dogs he quickly leapt the fence and ran off into the night.

Later that night;

Kouran watches the security footage as the thief destroys his entire research lab. The flames flashing on the screen gleaming in his eyes. "My research.." he spoke slowly. Turning, he spoke to a darkened corner of the room. "Have this man and anyone close to him killed immediately, and painfully." The darkened corner flickered blue for an instance.

The next morning

Genma finds his son in the vacant asleep, waiting for Ryoga to show up. Grabbing his Ranma he quickly began to flee the area. Glancing down at the pamphlet he had grabbed, he saw that it was also a training ground, with what resolve he had, he said to himself, "China, that's where we are going to train our art, boy." Ranma awoke as they left the city limits, blinking slowly he looked at his father, as they sped along the road. "Where are we going now?" he asked quizzically. "Training my boy." And he was silent till they reached the shoreline.

Author notes

The Yama-sen-ken are a school of techniques created by Genma for burglary, it is basically bashing in the front door and robbing the place. It has moves that can rip open gates and doors with ease. One maneuver is the kajin rashu dan, which is a vacuum blade that can slice through almost anything.

The Uni-sen-ken is the complement school of the Yama-sen-ken it's like sneaking in the back door and robbing the place. It has a technique to render the user invisible.
