The War of the Gods (I'll probably change the title)
Ranma 1/2 and Saint Seiya x-over.
By Wanderer D (wandererd@hotmail.com)
Ranma 1/2 is property of Rumiko Takahashi, Saint Seiya was created by the talented Masami Kurumada.
I didn't participate in neither of the series creation, although I did participate in watching and reading it... Anyway, I'm NOT gaining any money from this so please don't sue me, ok? All I did is the plotline which I doubt is worth that much bother for your lawyers. Although not for readers. So...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"This is Ryouga." Shaina said.
Everyone in the room remained silent. Almost everyone was sitting in the comfort of the large living room in the Kido Mansion. After the battle with Hades there hadn't been much sense to keep the bronze saints guarding Sanctuary for the moment. So, they had all travelled back to Japan to mourn their loses. Then Shaina had arrived with a stranger. It wouldn't have mattered much... at any other moment.
"Shaina, I don't think this is the moment to..." Unicorn started, but she stopped him with a motion of her hand.
"I am going to train him to become a Saint."
That got things going.
"What?!" Wolf shouted, jumping to his feet.
"Why, of all people would you chose someone as him? He's too old!" Bear snorted. "He won't learn anything."
Ryouga growled. "Only because you couldn't learn anything new if someone explained it to you doesn't mean I couldn't."
"How dare you?" Bear growled, walking towards Ryouga an looking down at him. He was at least two heads taller. "Listen kiddo, if you fall on your knees and beg for clemency I will forgive you."
Ryouga smirked. Saori was about to speak when Shaina shook her head. Almost everyone noted this, except Bear and Ryouga. The others started studying Ryouga's movements and actions.
"I might let you out easy if you beg for mercy yourself." Ryouga answered. "From the looks of you you've spent way to long slacking off."
Bear's eyes glowed when he heard the snickers behind him.
"Oooh... the truth does hurt." Unicorn whispered loud enough for everyone to hear.
"That's it! You will wish you were dead shorty!" Bear shouted.
"Bring it on!" Ryouga answered.
The next thing he knew he was flying out of the door.
"Damn! He's fast!" he muttered, twisting back to land on his feet.
Bear walked out of the mansion, smirking and followed by all those that were inside. The last out were Saori, Shiryu, Hyouga, Shun, Ikki and Shaina.
"Wait!" Shaina shouted.
"You can't save him Shaina!" Bear growled.
"Ryouga! IS it true that you can fight almost as well as Ranma?" Shaina asked, ignoring Bear.
Ryouga nodded, never taking his eyes from his opponent.
"Then you'd better wear your Cloth Bear." Shaina said, earning a collective stare.
Bear merely smiled. "I don't need it to beat this kid. Doesn't even know how to use his Cosmo."
"Ranma didn't either, and he forced Sorrento to use his Cloth." She returned.
Bear stopped in mid stride as his eyes became bigger.
"It seems he's eaten more than he can chew." Ikki remarked, smirking.
Saori was staring at Shaina. "Who is this Ranma? And why was he fighting Sorrento?"
"I'll tell you after this. It's a good opportunity to measure my apprentice's abilities." Shaina answered as Bear called his Cloth.
Everyone turned to look at the battle with a critical eye.
Completely armored, Bear still didn't feel safer. He was no-where near the level to fight a Shogun of the Sea. Still, he had been able to punch this kid. Could it be that Shaina was doing this to distract him?
With a snarl Bear launched himself at Ryouga, who ducked under his blow and did an uppercut in return. Bear was able to avoid it, however, and tried again, making a grab for Ryouga, which proved to be a mistake for, as soon as he was within striking distance, Ryouga scored a direct hit that sent him skidding back.
"Hmm. It seems Ryouga has been well trained in Martial Arts." Shiryu commented. "His style is strange, but he has a definite advantage of skill and technique over Bear, who uses more muscle than tactic."
Ryouga made a flying kick at Bear, who glowed with Cosmo and backhanded Ryouga against a wall, making a small crater.
"Yes. But Ryouga doesn't know how to use his Cosmo, and that is a winning factor, as we all know." Hyouga remarked.
"I still think the kid will win." Ikki declared coldly. "Bear talks a lot, but he hasn't made his Cosmo more powerful in these last years."
Ryouga jumped from the wall completely unfazed, surprising a few of the bronzes.
Ryouga was getting angry. This bozo would be down if he hadn't that damned armor on! He had felt his punch was more than he could take, but apparently this armor wouldn't break as easily as a real metal one would.
Glaring, Ryouga concentrated, then waited. Despite all the times that he had lost control while fighting Ranma, he had discovered he could control and plan his movements when fighting anyone else. It was just that Ranma knew which buttons to push, unlike bear-boy here.
When he saw his opponent wasn't going to attack, Bear's confidence grew. Sure, the kid was good, but he was a Saint! Surely Shaina had exaggerated about the Sorrento business. With a triumphant laugh he ran towards Ryouga, punching at him.
Ryouga stopped the punch with his hand and held it there. There was an audible gasp from the present. Ryouga then smirked at the incredulous look Bear was giving him. "Without your armor you are nothing." Ryouga said and stabbed the chest armor with his index.
Then there was an explosion. Ryouga was sent flying back into the wall. Bear's Cosmo flared. When everyone could look, Bear was staring silently at his armor. It slowly cracked and broke. He fell to his knees.
Ryouga stumbled out of the wall and was met by the gazes of everyone in the courtyard. Except Bear, who took his armor off. The Bear Cloth disappeared.
"Well, that settles it." Shaina said. "You are good enough." She would have to find out how he had conjured enough strength to break a Bronze Cloth.
Ryouga nodded.
Then Shaina felt Saori's hand on her arm. "We have to talk." Saori said.
***
"If what you say is true, then things promise to be worse than in the battles of legend." Saori said after Shaina had explained about all she had heard.
"Why?" Andromeda asked.
"If Poseidon is willing to let us help training Seiya's brother, and also going to retrain Thetys... it means that our next enemy is one that he feels we can only stop if we work together."
"So, you believe this... Ranma is Seiya's brother?" Ikki asked. "Shouldn't we tell Seika, then? Seiya died before being able to see her again... and I'm sure she would appreciate meeting a brother she never knew she had."
Saori nodded. "She is here in the mansion in one of the rooms upstairs. But we should find out first if he is indeed Seiya's brother."
The others nodded.
"As for Ryouga-kun..." Saori said, looking at him. "Welcome." She smiled. "Tatsumi will show you to your room for the night. Tomorrow you go to Greece."
Ryouga nodded.
***
Back in Nerima the Cat Café and the Ucchan's were closing up. Indefinitely.
The next morning, both Ukyo and Shampoo were not surprised when they saw the other in the airport, all packed up. Ukyo smiled sheepishly. "Greece?"
Holding up tickets for the same plane Shampoo nodded. "Greece."
Next to them Cologne sighed. She had her work cut up for her already.
***
In the Tendo dojo Akane broke bricks. She ignored the tears that tried to get out. If Ranma was not Genma's blood, Soun would not carry on with the marriage arrangement.
She smashed another brick. In her father's logic, one that Kasumi and she herself followed, who knew what blood ran in Ranma's veins? Even if he was such an impressive martial artist, the family's bloodline should be kept clean, pure blood made them better. She didn't have to like it though.
She piled three bricks and one fist went through them. Nabiki didn't agree, being the 21rst century woman that she was. She said that it didn't matter. But Kasumi had stood up to her and said that she liked young Ranma as much as anyone else in the household, but blood was blood. She would be glad to have him over to have dinner with them and be friends, but that was it.
Akane finished setting up dummies and bricks, and started smashing all of them in quick succession with just one punch. She was as good as Ranma, so why hadn't the others also picked her up to go and fight? She was the best in Nerima, after all. "Who needs the baka anyway?" she shouted as she smashed the last dummy into smithereens.
Outside the Dojo, watching her sister go from depression to her old self, Nabiki sighed and turned around. In her hands she had a folder with the information about the Kido family. And their relationship to Ranma. And it proved that Ranma came from a Samurai family older than Kuno's. She closed her eyes and when she opened them, she had a determined look to them.
She went into her room, and began to pack.
