Chapter 2
Ranma walked through the forest he thought lead to the cave that Uranus had been imprisoned in. He still didn't know exactly who he was, or what he was supposed to do. But one thing was certain. He had to find Uranus no matter what the cost. It's not normal to have dreams about people he had never met before in his life. At least, Ranma was sure that he had never met her before. He wasn't too sure at the moment. Perhaps he would get his memories back if he helped her.
"Stupid freak! Couldn't the lizard guy put her in a cave closer to civilization? Is that too much to ask?"
Ranma was determined to see this through. He would get the answers to his questions and find out who he was.
"I don't wanna be doing this… I want to go home. Crap! I don't know where home is!"
Yes. He was ready. Ranma walked more and more. He eventually came to a clearing. He has finally found the cave. Ranma dropped his belongings outside of the entrance and made his way inside. It was dark, so he came back and got a lantern.
Now that he had light, he once again made his way inside of the cave. It really wasn't that long of a walk. Only a minute or so until he came to a large opening, and like in his dream, there were markings all over the place. And chained to one of the walls, was Uranus, asleep, and unmoving.
Ranma made his way to the young woman and checked to make sure she was still alive. Confirming the fact that she was just asleep and not dead. He began to break the chains. He started with the chain that was attached to her hair, then the legs, followed by the arms.
Uranus' eyes began to open. She didn't know what that racket was but it was interrupting her nap. There wasn't that much to do but sleep. She gave up a long time ago on breaking out. When she could see clearly, she saw that there was a young man breaking her chains. She didn't want to look a gift horse in the mouth so stayed silent until all the chains were broken. Then she smiled. Time to get to work.
As soon as Uranus was free she stood up, and stretched. Ranma was silent because, quite honestly, he didn't know what to say.
"I'd like to thank you for releasing me." Uranus said in a voice, more grown up then Ranma remembered from his dream. He did read that she grew up fast.
"Uh…your wel…" Ranma began, but never finished.
"But, now that I am free. I must get to work. You will be the first to die." Uranus said in a calm voice.
"Wait a sec! I just freed you, and now ya wanna kill me?! Come on!" Ranma yelled. This wasn't what he was expecting.
"It's nothing personal. It's just what I was created to do." Uranus said, beginning to float in the air.
"That shouldn't matter! You should decide, not Busuzima!" Ranma yelled, causing anger to flash in Uranus' eyes at the name of her creator.
"Die!" Uranus yelled.
Uranus teleported behind Ranma and tried hitting him with a five hit kick combo, sometimes switching between high and low strikes. Ranma was surprised to see her vanish before his eyes, but managed to weave in and out of every kick and flip out of the way to put more distance between him and his opponent.
"You are swift." Uranus said, before continuing her attack.
She gathered power and stomped her foot on the ground causing it to travel through the floor. Ranma wasn't expecting this and was thrown off guard. The pure energy traveling through the ground hit its mark and threw Ranma into the air. Uranus jumped up and caught him, electrocuted him, then threw him to the ground before landing her self.
"Too easy." Uranus said, walking past Ranma to leave the cave.
"Wait." Ranma said, getting up. "If you think that you can rub me off that easily. Ya got another thing coming!" Ranma yelled, getting into a fighting stance.
"Very well then."
Uranus transported right in front of Ranma and tried the kick combo once again. Ranma blocked every single one, except for the last one. He grabbed her foot and flung her against the wall. She made a thud as she hit, and another thud as she hit the ground.
"Never use the same combo on me twice!" Ranma yelled, as Uranus picked herself up from the floor and started to float once again.
"So, your good at adapting. Adapt to this. Do you think you can defeat a Chimera?" Uranus asked, in a cocky tone.
"A what?"
Ranma's question was soon answered as Uranus transformed into a beast much larger than he. I was big and bulky. It had bluish green fur and its hands had spikes for knuckles. It looked like it had a bull's head just without the ring. It had six horns all together. Two on its head, two on its chest that curved over the shoulders and poked strait behind it's back, and two more on it's back. Between the two horns on it's back starting at the head was what appeared to be a long thick tail. On each leg it had what appeared to be a tail. It also had red markings allover its body. Really something you wouldn't want to meet up with in a dark alley.
Ranma clutched his head as a memory resurfaced. He remembered fighting a bull like creature before. Just this one had an eel for a tail and wings. Strangely this bull reminded him of … pantyhose? Ranma quickly shook it off as 'I think I want to forget this any way' memory.
"Big deal! So ya got bigger! I can…" Ranma was then punched into the wall, literally 'into' the wall.
"Okay…ouch… your stronger too. Lets fight." Ranma said a little dizzily.
Luckily for Ranma, Uranus was extremely slow in her beast form. Though she was doing a splendid job of destroying the cave. Ranma would get a punch in every now and again but he wasn't doing any real damage. Then he tripped over some rubble caused by Uranus breaking up everything. Causing him to fall to the ground. Uranus realizing this was her chance, took advantage of it, and threw a punch strong enough to smash boulders to tiny pieces.
Ranma in a moment of panic saw part of his life flash before his eyes. It seems as though. The more he fights the more memories he seems to gain.
/ A boy walked up to Ranma holding a walking staff. He looked pretty beat up.
"I'm here." The boy said, obviously not in the best shape.
"Well, well… And I thought you got scared and ran away." Ranma said cockily. "What's the matter Ryouga? You're looking more miserable than usual."
"Wouldn't any man… Who cast away his happiness for a single duel…? Ryouga said with a sad smile. "All right then…Let us end it now!" Ryouga yelled, an aura forming around him.
"Man… No way I could ever out-mope that mope… But luckily…" Ranma thought. "I've got this!" Ranma yelled happily, getting into an odd stance.
"Shishi Hokodan!" Ryouga yelled. Cupping his hands forward. A green blast of ki, came hurling towards Ranma.
Ranma repeated the motion. Just this time… \
"Moko Takabisha!" Ranma yelled. Sending a blast of golden ki at Uranus. Slamming into her and knocking her against the wall and too the floor.
Ranma stood up and got into another fighting stance. He found another memory. And this one saved his life. But he had the feeling that it wasn't over yet.
Uranus picked her self up off the floor. She tried pulling all her energy together but when she tried the energy left her and she went back to her human form.
"Damn! These enchanted chains still hold power!" Uranus yelled. Time to end this.
Uranus gathered all the energy she could, and threw it at Ranma. Ranma did the same. The energy collided and the two opponents were pouring everything they had into their blasts. Then finally Ranma pushed a little harder, breaking through Uranus and once again slamming her into a wall. She fell unconscious on the ground.
"I really hope she doesn't wake up before I do…" Ranma too, being drained of all his energy fell too the ground, next to Uranus. They both slept. One injured and the other tired beyond all reason. Who will wake up first anyway?
Back at Busuzima's lab, Busuzima was with Kohryu and Shenlong, trying to come up with a way to get his latest creation back. Shenlong really didn't care. But if Ranma was strong, he would love to fight him. It would be a nice break from his rival, Long. Kohryu didn't care also. But then again, Kohryu didn't care about a lot of things. He just did what he was always ordered to do.
"Listen up. I don't want him getting away. I put too much work into him." Busuzima vented.
"So what do you want us to do?"
"I want you to beat him, and bring him back here, of course! Are you stupid?!"
"Easy enough. Where is he?"
"I don't know…but I think I know a way to get him to come to us."
"And what would that be?" Kohryu asked. He wasn't too interested in the matter. He just didn't feel like listening to Busuzima ramble on.
"Simple, We'll start up the bloody roar tournament again. With you two, and I will enter as well, fighting in the tournament. One of us has to beat him. And I'm sure we'll attract some of the usual people also. We'll just wait for him to lose!"
"I thought you said this guy was your best creation." Shenlong stated. "You seem to think that he'll lose pretty easily."
"There's a reason for that. He woke up too early. I don't think he's completely aware of everything yet. I don't even think he knows how to tap into his beast form."
"Busuzima. The bloody roar tournament is for zoanthropes. If he doesn't know that he's a zoanthrope. He will not enter." Kohryu stated.
"Shut up! I'll just put his beast mark on the flyer. Yeah. He'll recognize it and get curious." Busuzima said, getting pretty hyper.
"Fine. Why did you call us hear anyway, if you were just going to do this anyway." Shenlong asked.
"I want extra insurance. I want you to make sure Long enters." Busuzima said, with a glint in his eyes.
"Feh! Fine, I'll deliver his invitation personally." Shenlong said, cracking his knuckles.
"What do you want from me?" Kohryu asked.
"I just want you to not kill him!" Busuzima yelled. He knew how Kohryu got while fighting.
"As you wish."
"That is all." Busuzima said, waving them off.
They both left, leaving Busuzima too his thoughts. He wanted Ranma; he wasn't finished with him yet. If he could make him more powerful than Uranus, and control him at the same time, the possibilities would be endless.
Every one entered for there own reasons. Busuzima entered to get his experiment back. Shenlong entered for a good fight, and to get back at Long. Kohryu entered so that he could kill every last zoanthrope in existence…except Ranma of course. This would be the tournament that puts everything on the line.
Deep in the forests of Japan, a man made his way to his cabin. The man wore the traditional Chinese garb, and had a long black ponytail. As he walked he adjusted the glasses that had slid to the tip of his nose. To him, life was good. He enjoyed the quiet life by himself. He was glad that he retired from the assassination life when he had the chance. The only problem now was, he could have sworn he shut his door. The man made his way inside. What he saw didn't surprise him at all. He was expecting 'him' to show up eventually.
"So Shenlong, I doubt that your hear for a cup of tea." The pony tailed man said, straightening his posture a bit.
"Nope. Just here to give you the invite to the next tournament." Shenlong stated, folding his arms behind his head.
"I think I'll pass this time around. I really am quite enjoying my life here." The man said, holding his hands behind his back.
"Well Long, I'm afraid that you must join. Busuzima would be really disappointed if you didn't, and so would I." Shenlong said, causing Long to raise an eyebrow.
"Busuzima is sponsoring the tournament? Where did he get the funds for that?" Long asked.
"Don't ask me." Shenlong said, shrugging his shoulders. "I'm just here to give you the invite. There's a boy that Busuzima is trying to attract. Maybe you've heard of him. Ranma Saotome?"
"Never heard of him. Is he a zoanthrope?" Long asked. Now interested in the conversation.
"Get me that cup of tea and I'll explain." Shenlong said, sitting down at the table of the small cabin. Long did as he was told, and prepared the tea for himself and his guest. When they were situated Shenlong began with his story.
"You see Long. I'm really not supposed to tell you this, but I could care less on what that quack wants, got that?" Shenlong asked. Looking at Long with one eye closed. When Long nodded, he continued. "You see. A little over a year ago, Busuzima had acquired a certain youth."
"Ranma Saotome?" Long asked.
"Yes. Supposedly he's a very good martial artist. I've heard Busuzima talk about him when we were working on the Uranus project."
"The what?" Long asked.
"Doesn't matter. It's not important. Anyway. This Ranma supposedly took on some kind of god. Saffron I think his name was." Shenlong took a sip of his tea. "Anyway. He's not a zoanthrope and was still able to beat this guy. That idiot Busuzima got it in his head that he could awaken the gene that causes people to transform into zoanthropes, and wanted to test it on Ranma. Not only did he try to awaken it. He added Saffron's blood to the equation. That would make him much more powerful."
"So this tournament is meant to test Ranma's power?"
"No. He escaped not too long ago. The tournament is to lure him back." Shenlong said, slouching back in his chair.
"*Sigh* Busuzima really is an idiot isn't he?" Shenlong said, it wasn't a question, "So he wants me to enter for extra insurance."
"Exactly. The only reason I'm entering is for another chance at fighting you again. I could care less about this kid." Shenlong said, waving his hand incoherently.
"To tell you the truth. I guess it is my responsibility to take care of you. I just wish Tylon would quit creating experiments they can't control…like you for example."
"Tylon went under after the last tournament. This is just Busuzima acting on his own." Shenlong said with a sigh.
"So, bloody roar starts up again. I really wish that they would change the name. Anyway, This Ranma Saotome is beginning to interest me. How will I know him when I see him." Long asked.
"So you're entering?" Shenlong asked. Long nodded, "He has black hair and a pig tail. If you still don't recognize him, his beast mark is on the backside of his hand. This is what it looks like." Shenlong said, handing Long the bloody roar tournament flyer with the mark on it.
"I see." I'll see you there, Shenlong." Long said, following Shenlong out the door. He waited until he disappeared from view to go inside.
"He took my tea cup…"
To be continued.
"He he…I took his tea cup. I bet he's looking for it right now." Shenlong said, spinning the tea cup around his index finger.
