A Dragon From Above
Chapter 6 : The Fall of The B.O. part 1
(A/N: Yay I was very happy when I recieved the reviews from my readers.The novel that I took the techniques from are none other than the works of Mr Jin Yong.The title of the books are 'The Condor Heroes' or 'The Brave Archer' and 'The Return Od The Condor Heroes' which is the sequel to the first book.My dad bought the whole movie today and I was very happy so I decided to post up this chap.
I know that my fic lacks the environmental detail and all that stuff.It is because of two main reasons: 1. I'm lazy to write all the things that normal common sense can think of. 2. I don't know how or when to add these scenes. Then there's the fact that this is my of writing thank you White Shadow for noticing my Alright on to the show.)

: The Alpha and Omega aka Kami-sama
-----------------
The two former Nerima residence introduced the ninjas to Conan and gang next day.Conan contacted his father but when he turned to talk to Max....they where gone from sight.
"Oh no...they left without telling me their whereabouts.How am I suppose to give them backup?" said Conan.
"Humph,so the demon wishes to take down my place eh? I'll show them the panelty for crossing me.Jack make our security ten times tougher.Gave each exit ten gaurds or more.Every camera must be activated and in good condition.And let me know if my next team of ninja's are ready." said Jones.
"Yes Boss,the doc says another 30 minutes or so and you'll have another zabusa and Haku." said Jack.
"Good.Let's see if they can best against themselves."
"Wow this place is heavily gaurded.Can you uh...teleport us in there? " asked Max.
"Unfortunaetly no.This place is covered by wards that even the most skilled ninja couldn't penetrate it.It seems like they knew of my defect." said Zabusa.
"So..we'll just blast our way in?" asked Ranma.
"Why not? Zabusa-san...can you and Haku make a mist thick enoughtt to cover the whole building?" asked Max.
"Ofcourse,what you intend to do?" asked Zabusa.
"You'll see."
The two former Mist Shinobis made a hand seal and chanted "Hidden Mist No Jutsu."
A dense mist emerged from nowhere and everything was covered in white.
I could put a knife throught it... thought Max."Ready Ranma?"
"Ready."
The two martial artists charged up their battle aura.Blue and Golden light aluminated the two.
" SHIN RYU HOKODAN !!"
" MOKOU TAKABISHA BEAM !!"
A bright golden ball of energy blasted through the front gate and crashed through the door followed by a beam of blue Ki.The sight was devastating and everything in the path was destroyed.Nothing was left behind except the scourged earth.The two mist ninjas where shocked beyond belive.Zabusa's jaw would be touching the ground right now if it wasn't for his bandages covering his mouth.Haku was also stunned and was sillently thanking her luck that Ranma didn't do that in their battle earlier.Only one thing was in their mind now...How the hell do they get so much Chackra?
An alarm rang through the not so sillent night as swarms of black clothed man with riffles ran out to intercept them.But when they arrived at the scene nothing was there except a small yellow note.A man picked up the note and read out loud.
"Pull string to find out what mystery prize you got ! " said the man then he stupidly pulled the string that's attached to the note.The note started to gave off a small portion of smoke then a loud and big explosion took place by the gates engulfing all those stupid enough to be there.
"I really need to get one of those." said Max as he and the rest where running in the hall way from the little supprize they left behind.They came to a turning and took a left, then a few more turns and a few stair cases..ok 20 or more stair cases...
"I hate stairs,I hate stairs,why can we take the elevator?" asked Max.
"They could stop the elevator and fill us with lead as soon as we come out." said Zabusa.
After more stairs they finally arrived at the office of Mr Jones.Zabusa knocked down the door with only one kick.They went in but they stood a man...with a large sword like Zabusa,a bandaged face like Zabusa,baggy jeans like Zabusa, hell it is Zabusa!
"What the hell? They...they cloned me." said Zabusa.
"I have no idea what you are talking about,you imposter." said the clone.
"What he means is that you're a clone." said Max.
"Clone? Hah..nobody can clone me.." said the oblivious clone.
"We are clones from the original Zabusa that died in the Wave country." said the 'good' Zabusa beside Max.
"I never died...wait...wave country?I ...aarrrgghh" the clone clutched his head as though having the great granfather of headaches in agony.
A voice boomed out from nowhere "Kill the imposter !" Then the clone stopped and took out his sword preparing to attack them.The eyes were red now and it seems void of any sign of life,a low growling could be heard from him.
"They...brain washed him." said Max.
"Yes...Haku,lead them to the factory and destroy our blood canisters..then kill jones.I'll handle him." said Zabusa as he too took out his large sword named Kubikiri...
"But...Zabusa-sama..." said Haku.
"Go NOW !! This is my final command to you." shouted Zabusa as he dashed and intercepted the clone.Swords clashed against each other as the two demons faught to the death.Haku took of her mask to look at Zabusa for the last time for she know that this will be the last time she was able to look at her mentor.She tried to hold back the tears that are forming in her eyes but failed as a drop of liquid fell at the side of her cheek.She quickly wiped away the tear and put on her mask again and she began to lead Max and Ranma away form the battle.Shouts of jutsus were heard echoing when they left.
"You know we could help him..." said Ranma.
"No...when he is like that not even I myself can interfier with is fight.The laboratory is located on the next couple of floors above." said Haku,her voice quivered as she speak.
"Don't worry,he'll be alright.We'll just kill that morron who created you and come back and help him." said Max.
"Hope we're in time too..." but before Haku could finish her sentence a barrage of needles were launched at their legs.A figure appeared from above and landed onfront of the group just a few feet ahead.It was a cloned Haku but his one is dressed in a green sweater instead of a gray one.This one also looked abit taller and is a male.
"Haku,you and Max go ahead.I got a score to settle." said Ranma eagerly as her went to a stance with his feet appart in a half horse stance.
"Becarefull Ranma,this one looks like he won't hold back." said Max.
"Beware his Demonic Mirrors Technique." said Haku she took Max's hands and made a seal with another hand....then they teleported behind the clone and began running.
"Now they tells me.Oh well,gimme your best shot." said Ranma.
"Die..." growled the clone and dashed for Ranma but this time Ranma too didn't hold back as the clone hit a block of ice and turned to a frozen statue as his hands made contact.
"Hah, how'd ya like my version of your clone?" taunted Ranma,but it was short lived because the statue cracked and Haku broke loose from his frozen state.Ranma jumped to the air and let loose with a ki blast then smashed his hands on the ground to produce a pillar of Ice to block Haku's second barrage of needles.
"Screw Upper Revised : Flame Tornado " shouted Ranma as the tornado of fire charged towards Haku.The clone was stunned for a while as he never seen anything like that before but then made a few quick seals and a mirror appeared infront of him to block the firery attack by Ranma.
Shit that mirror thingy....Haku said thet they're dangerous.They are made of ice so maybe a much hotter fire attack can break them though Ranma as he tried to gather as much heat in the room...he wasn't doing very well because the room temperature was below 16 degrees.
"Flame Circle!!" creid Ranma as he threw a great circle of fire at the Mirror.Vapours were released as the attack made contact but that was all that happened.The mirror didn't even seemed to take any damage.
"It's useless.... 'Demonic Mirror No Justsu'!" shouted the clone...mirrors appear arround Ranma, closing him inside a dome of mirrors.
Oh fuck,now I'm in deep trouble. thought Ranma as hundreds of needles was thrown at him.Ranma tried to dodge but he failed as the needle pierced and cutted his arms and legs but he managed no avoid taking damge to his vital points.Tofu's gonna have a fit of time tryin' to patch me up.
Meanwhile........Zabusa was panting as he leaned on his sword.The clone was standing infront of him and he didn't seem to have any sweat on him.
He must be enhanced with something to have matched all my skills and yet not even break a sweat...Damn looks like I need to use that technique....But I will need a large amount of water to perform that Jutsu. just then the clone took off the bandages by his hands and there Zabusa saw two holes on each hand.The holes released water from them.The water surrounded the clone as he made an all too familiar hand seal.
"Oh no you don't !!" cried Zabusa as he threw his sword at the clone and began to make his own version of the seal.
The sword tore through the clones deffences and he was stopped.Blood was spreaded everywhere as the clones hands were cut off and the sword embeded his chest.
"Water Explosion No Jutsu !! " shouted Zabusa as he finished his last hand seal.A large amount of water came spinning towards the clone and smashed through the wall.After that Zabusa went to check on the clone.The clones body was full with kunai's and shurikens and was badly damaged.His bandage that covered the clone was off and it revealed Jack.zabusa grunted in disguist and turned away from him.He retrieved his sword and proceeded to follow Max's trail.
Max and Haku arrived at the lab to find it deserted.
"Damn ! He must've escaped." cursed Max.
"No,look." pointed Haku to their left.A body was layed there with blood gushing out of his wounds.It was the body of Mr Jones.
"Well looks like someone took cared of him for us...but who?" said Max.Then Haku and Max leaped away from the corpse as they noticed it was starting to smoke.Then it exploded to a rain of blood an gory all over the place.
Haku was shielded by her mirror and Max was under a broken table.What they saw next was disguisting,blood was everywhere and bits and pieces of Mr Jones where at the corner or hanging at the fan.
"The term 'when the shit hits the fan' really couldn't help much in this situation." joked Max.Haku was turning green at that comment but was hidden behind her Anbu mask she was wearing.
"So...you manage to escape all that explosion eh? Impresive." a voice was heard behind them.
They turned arround to find something standing 8 feet tall with a face even his own mother won't love.It was a hybrid of something with a tail of a lizard,the legs where robotic and shined in a metallic colour.The body was large and filled with muscles.It has four arms and a large horn coming out from its head.The face was....well just think of the most horrific monster you could ever know and multiply it by 10 times and maybe you could get the picture.Slivar was dripping from his mouth and razor sharp fangs were shown.It's toungue was like a reptiles, flicking and swaying here and there while a growling sound was made.
"Eww...now THAT is what I call UUUUGGLIIEEE !!" said Max and he made a vomitting expression.Haku was puzzled because Max could make such a crude joke when the topic of the joke was glaring at him.She readied her throwing needles and filled them with chakra.
"Haku this guy looks...familiar..Oh my God! It's Vodka, I never thought Gin would go this far." said Max.
The creature laughed "HAHAHAHA, I was Vodka but I when recieved this new body that gin gave me...I am known as The Ultimate Killing Machine !!" he them leaped at Max ,claws and fangs bearing ,threatening to tear him appart with his strong hands.
Max just stood there with a smirk on his face.
"Max-san !!" cried haku as she threw her needle as Vodka.Although the needles were filled with chakra it only gazed the outer skin of him.She closed her eyes as her first friend was killed infront of her.Eventhough they only meet for a few hours she considered him and Ranma as her best friends.Ranma was an arrogant jerk sometimes but he was an honourable guy and his promises was as good as gold.Max on the other hand was fun to be with and he seems to know alot of things,there was a mysterious air arround him.The two boys always seems to supprise her and Zabusa-sama....huh? Zabusa-sama !! he was still battling down there.She tightened her fists on her needles and prepared to throw them at the monsters eyes to blind him.But suddenly the monster turned into a frozen statue.
Haku just stared at it with a shocked espression hidden by her mask.Then a hand took her waist and she was carried to the door.She turned to look at her 'carrier' and gasped because it was none other than Max.He put her down near the door and took on a stance she saw earlier at the gate and braised herself for a big bang.
" SHIN RYU HOKODAN !! " shouted Max as he unleashed a gaint ball of ki at the monster.The golden ball of ki smashed against the frozen statue and a big explosion was felt through the whole building.
Max was panting slightly after his attack and he leaned on the door frame for support.Haku took his arms and helped him out.
"Thanks Haku." said Max .
Haku shook her head lightly and said " Don't worry Max-san,you saved me and Zabusa from taking another life.But please don't scare me like that anymore."
"Huh? Oh that...sorry about that.Sometimes I love the look of supprise on my enemies face." smirked Max."I think I can walk now."
But then a loud roar broke the short lived sillence between Max and Haku.They turned arround to find a very angry and very badly burned Vodka.His skin were burned until it was still smoking and it makes a vary bad smell like a mixture of rotten eggs and milk.
"Aww shit,now he's really mad." said Max as he and Haku quickened their pace towards the stairs.Haku nearly made a facefault by Max's comment.
"Genbuu Ki Shield !!" cried Ranma as he made a dome to cover him up for a breather.Haku's needle bounced off his Ki field as it made contact and made a 'clanking' sound as they fell.Okay...if I can't melt those damn mirrors then I'll have to smash them...Hmm..what did Max say about that technique ...
------------------
Flash Back
"Okay it kinda goes like this.Fire was made by wood,wood by water,water by metal,metal by earth,earth by fire.This goes on like a circle.Then the other circle is the counter circle.
Water counter fire,fire counter metal,metal counter wood,wood counter earth,earth counter water.Ice,lightning and wind are another natural elements that completes the eight astrial gates,or heavenly gates."Bak Gua" is therefore formed.Lightning is even hotter than fire alone so it means it's an evolved form of fire.Ice is another evolved form....by water.Wind is it's own form."
End of Flash Back
-------------------
Ranma gave a smirk that would make even Nabiki proud.He dissabled his Ki shield and ran towards the nearest mirror.He charged his ki and gathered them in his fists.
"Eat this, Rai Sen Ken!!" shouted Ranma and smashed the mirrors with his lighting covered fist.The mirror was destroyed immediately and falls to a million pieces.They didn't have the time to change back to water as they vaporised into fog.
"So...you smashed my mirrors..." said Haku "But it is of no worry.".To Ranma's dismay the mirror replaced itself and was bigger and looked thicker than before.
Okay....that didn't worked.thought Ranma."Oh well, it's better to have seventy years of bad luck than die here."Ranma let Haku's needles pierce him again as he gathered almost all his ki at convert them into electricity.Lightning sparkled arround his body as surge and surge of electricity coursed through Ranma's body but he held on.Not yet...Not yet....just another attack and you're toasted. thought Ranma.He had memorised the method of Haku's attack pattern and planned to attach Haku when another attack was thrown at him.
Haku didn't disappoint him because another wave of needles were thrown at Ranma from all sides again,but this time Ranma was ready...he was ready to ROCK !!
"Lighning Strom Attack !!" Ranma screamed as thousands of volts were unleashed through the needles and the mirrors.It seems that some of the needles were water bunshin needles and since water conducts electricity Haku was SHOCKED (pardon the pun) beyond belive.The mirrors started to crack as vapours were released from them.Ranma smiled evily as he shouted "It's not over you bastard !! Baksai Tenketsu Revised : Genbuu's Rage !! " the ground underneath Ranma was destroyed as the shards of concrete smashed through the mirrors and the still paralyzed Haku.Ranma fell through the hole he created but with a tug and roll he landed safely.A thud was heard and he saw that Haku's body was found dead with large chunks of metal,concrete and blood was pouring out from the wounds.A sharp piece of concrete was embeded into the mask of the clone Haku wore.Traces of brain and an eyeball caould be seen through the cracked mask.
"Yuck..." said Ranma as he regreted having that seventh bowl of ramen.Ranma continued the track Haku and Max made towards the lab upstairs.
Max and Haku could be seen running for their lives as balls of fire or sometimes accids were sent their way by Vodka who was chasing them.
Gotta think of something...thought Max as he ran as fast as he can but due to his last attack he was lacking alot of ki,the fact that he need to dodge the attacks of Vodka doesn't help them either because it decreased his speed drasticly. "Haku,can you make a whole line of mirrors to stop him?" asked Max.
"I'll try." Haku made a few hand seals and shouted "Demonic Mirrors No Jutsu !!". Rolls and rolls of thick chakra filled mirrors appeared from the ground sealing Vodka from ever approaching them.The fire and accid couldn't penetrate the thick walls of ice created by Haku.Haku's legs failed her as she dropped down to her knees from using alot of her chakra to create that much mirrors but Max quickly caught her from falling down.As Max held Haku he was shocked to find out that her body was very cold and her breathing was getting weaker and weaker by the minute.
"Holy shit,Haku you alright? You're freezing all over." said Max as he held her.Max took off his wind blocker he was wearing
and wrapped her in it.The wind blocker won't keep her warm enough but it'll keep the cold of this place from getting to her away. Max carried Haku and ran again.
Vodka was angry,no he was beyond that he was furious.Infact, he was so furious that all he was seing is red.He tried punching the mirrors but ended up a sore knuckle instead.All his strengh was used to feul his anger and it blinded his judgement.Then after a few minutes of roaring , his human sense kicked in.He search his metallic leg for a switch, he found it and he opened the compartment to find a cylinder of blue liquid.He opened the sealed cap and drank it's fluids.The cylinder fall from his hands as he bended over and screamed in agony.Black leathery wings shot out from his back and his horns were sharpper than ever.His muscles grew bigger as his tail also grew longer and spikes appeared all over it.He was now over 12 feet tall.Each step he took leaves a foot print embeded on the reinforced concrete.He looked manically at the retreating forms of Max and Haku then he gave a punch to the mirror which shattered immediately when his fist made contact.He made a nasty growl with drool all over his face as he made his way to the second mirror and he started to destroy them one by one.
"The hell,I could feel his Ki signiture and it's increased ten fold.That vibrating sound sure ain't no earth quake." said Ranma while running.
"Hey Ranma !" shouted Max as he carried Haku throught the corridor.Ranma tried to stop but was told by Max to run.
"Max I just drag myself here and you're tellin' me to run? Ranma Saotome never runs." said Ranma.
"You'll run when you see what's after us.He took my Shin Ryu Hokodan and shrugged it off like a minor burn.And now he just did something to himself to become more stronger." said Max between breaths.
Ranma nooded as he himself wasn't in a good shape from the fight with the clone Haku.They came accross the place where Ranma faught and saw Zabusa there and told him about what happened.He refuse to run but was finally persuaded by them when he saw Haku like that.They just kept running...and running....untill they came to the front gate.
"Wait I think we lost him." said Max.
A window from ten stories above exploded with a burst of flames and out came the black winged figure of the BO agent Vodka.He was like the devil himself,flames coming out from its nostrills with red bloody eyes shining through the night.
"Oh fuck !!" cried Ranma as he avoided a volly of spiked accid balls from Vodka.(picture those spike balls from star craft's Hydralisks)
Max handled Haku to Zabusa as he readied himself he cupped his hands together and let loose with a volly of ki balls and shouted to Ranma."Ranma,I'll distract him and you use the rising dragon !" Ranma gave Max a nod and went to do his 'Soul Of Ice'technique while making a circular patern right under Vodka's flying form.Max continued the ki blast and he occationally fires a few 'Raging Flames' to heat up the air surrounding Vodka.
"Zabusa-san, do you still have enough energy to create a small patch of mist under ugly ?" cried Max as he dodge another ball of flames.
"I'll try.'Hidden Mist No Jutsu'" a small layer of mist covered Ranma from Vodka's view.Max fired a large ball of flames right into Vodka's face.Vodka roared an inhuman sound and breathed out a huge gause of flame at Max.
"Goodness gratious Great Balls of FIRE !!" sang Max and he shouted to Ranma "NOW !!"
A voice that screamed " HIRYUU SHOTEN HA !! " was heard through the group.Then a huge tornado rised underneath Vodka. It caught Vodka offguard while trying to search for the source of the sound.The tornado was filled with cold air and the surrounding layer was hot air courtesy of Max and Vodka's own flames.In the tornado stood Ranma with his right fist in an upper cut,he then crossed his hands infront of his chest and shouted 'Ki Shin Dai Ryu Dan' which means 'Demon God Storm' then let loose with a few vacuum blades.The blades cutted throught even Vodka's thick hide but it wasn't deep enough to cause any severe damage.
"That was the sealed technique of Genma.The 'Yamisenken's (thousand mountain fist) most powerul technique.I'll help out,Sonic Boom !" shouted Max as he borrowed Guile's attack from Street Fighters and threw a few ki blades into the tornado.Vodka was attacked by vacuum blades,ki blades,ki blasts from Ranma and Max plus the rocks that rammed into his stomach.The sand and mist blinded his eye sight making him even madder which made the tornado lasts even longer and more powerful.When the tornado grew smaller and smaller,all we can see is Ranma lying in a big crater in the middle.Fortunately, he was still consciouse with a few scratches from the rocks arround him.His clothes were shattered and his pants only covered untill his knees.He flashed a cocky grin at Max who in return smirked at his friend.
Zabusa was stunned at witnessing such a powerful feat,but quickly turned to look after Haku in his arm.Then they heard a loud crash on a black a few feets away from them.The car exploded in flames from the fallen body of the former BO agent.
"MMM HHMM I'm on FIRE !!!" sang Max as he watched the flames.Ranma sweat dropped at Max and Zabusa tried not to facefault because of Haku in his arms.Haku started to wake up from the noise of the explosion and Zabusa let her down slowly."Wha..what happened? Zabusa-sama you're alright !! Oh I was so worried about you." cried Haku then she wrapped herself at Zabusa who hugged her inreturn.
Suddenly a green spike of accid emerged from the huge flames and headed straight on to an unexpected Haku.Zabusa saw it and pushed Haku away but was too late to dodge even with his years of ninja trainning.The spike ball tore through Zabusa's chest and came out from the back.Max and Ranma was shocked ,Haku ran towards Zabusa's limp form to support him .Tears were falling from her now red face as she screamed Zabusa's name.Blood leaked on the road as Zabusa tried to talk to Haku for the last time.
"Ha..Haku gasp I...I want you too..gasp live...live on..gasp...I finally get to save... you this time.Remember what I told.....gasp you...I ..always looked at you...gasp as..as bigger gasp my own child..." with that the former Demon Of the Mist died for the second time only this time he died happily.Haku cried on his shoulder and clutched his cold body."I will do as you say master....I will stay here with my friends and live on as you say..."
"Alright that was so cheap even for a big idiotic freak of nature like you." said Max and charged up his Nine Solar Stance.
"I would never forgive you !!" shouted Ranma as he charged up his remmaining ki.
The two martial artists ran to Vodka who just came out from the raging fire.Here he meet face to face with two angry devotee to the art as he recived a kick to the head and an open palm strike to his solar plexus.
"Rai Amaguri Sen Ken !!" screamed Ranma and added uncountable punches filled with electricity to Vodka's gut.
"18th Palms : Shuang Long Chu Hai !!(Double Raging Dragon From The Sea)" shouted max as he pushed two palm strikes from behind Vodka and attacked his spine with the 'Mighty Snap' all the while straining his Nine Solar Stance for more Ki and Chi as he continued to attack various vital parts of Vodka with Ranma.
"Burning Knuckle!!"
"15th Palm : Zhan Long Zhai Ye(Battle Dragon on The Field)!!"
"Karyuu Ken !!"
"Wild Ball Fist combo !!"
"Umisenken : White Snake Trusting Fist !!"(A/N :I forgoten the Jap version of it so I used the Chinese Translation )
"Raging Flames !!"
"Screw Upper !!"
Vodka wasn't happy.He just escaped from a fall from almost 500 meters high and onto a car which exploded into flames to becoming a punching bag for two really pissed off Martial Artists.Nope...he wasn't happy,he really wished to fly away...hey he had wings don't he? Nope not anymore since Ranma slashed them off with his vacuum blades to prevent him from flying away.He tried to spit out those spike balls but was forced to swallow them up when Max used his Mighty Snap on his throat,damn those spikes really hurt although his skin was tough.Well...his skin IS tough but nothing can stand the combined fury of Max and Ranma.waren't these guys just kids? No....he was sent to kill two ninja clones..not skilled Martial Artists who have attacks that could kill a normal person ten times over.He wasn't paid enough for this..damn you Gin.Vodka was given the complete treatment of the eight heavenly elements plus a few complimentary kick under the belt....author sweat dropped
Yup, deffinately ain't paid enough for this.
Finally the two boys leaped a part to reveal a VERY beaten up form of Vodka.It was a sorry sight to behold,his wings were ripped of, that could be fixed with a little help of PVA Glue.His horns which he proudly have on his head was also gone,another mix of PVA glue?His muscles have bruises on bruises , blood gushing out from some wounds,a few broken ribs,which can all be fixed by a LOT of PVA glue.....damn I love you PVA glue .His metallic legs were bended and have a new shape of fists and palm prints on them...some water colour and it'll look as though me made them on purpose.All in all he wasn't as bad as he seems.....wrong.As Murphy's Law put it..the carnage ..um...the Show must go on.
"Final AttacK !!" shouted the two Martial Artist.
"CHOU HODOUKEN : SHIN RYUU HOKODAN !!"
"CHOU MOKOU TAKABISHA BEAM !!"
All Vodka could do was stood there and curse his luck.....damn you Gin...
As the two emotional Ki attacks hamburgered him in between (A/N : I know it's suppose to be sandwitched in between but I love Burgers so I couldn't help it ) Vodka couldn't help to shout out his favourite villian's catch phrase..."CURSE YOU BUZZ LIGHT YEAR !!!" and the blast swallowed him up.Max almost face faulted Who the hell is writing this anyway?
Elsewhere on Planet Z....
"ACCHHOOO !! " a certain purple evil robot was having the grand daddy of sneezes.
After the final attacks Max and Ranma slumped to their knees in exhaustion.Haku was still carrying the body of Zabusa but had stopped crying.Max and Ranma walked slowly to her trying to comford her.
"He died saving you.It's his wish to do that." said Max.
"He did the most honourable thing by sacrificing his life for you.He wanted you to live on." said RAnma as he patted Haku on her shoulder.
"Thank you Max-san ,Ranma-san.I will follow what Zabusa-sama said to live on.I...can I stay with you two?" asked Haku.
"Sure,the proff wouldn't mind I think.By the way,we need to burn Zabusa's body so that they would never ever clone him again." said Max.
"I understand." said Haku and she put Zabusa's body on the road while giving him a last look.
Max and Ranma used their last Ki reserves to fire two big balls of fire at the body.What was left of the Mist ninja was a batch of ashes and his sword Kubikiri.Sirens from Police cars were heard accross a few blocks away so they quickly gathered the ashes into a jar which Ranma took out from subspace and headed back to Beika street.
"What the hell do you think you two were doing !!" shouted Conan as Max and Ranma arrived home.They were covered with scorch marks,cuts and dirt.Ranma was wearing Max's wind bloacker because Haku felt better now.Max just went to the bath room and took a shower.Ranam slumped down at the sofa and he started to snore.Haku told them what happened and the location of the HQ and the death of Vodka.Conan immediately phoned the Police and his father about the incident while Haibara help to bandage Ranma.Proffessor Agasa gave drinks and some cakes to Ranma who woke up at the smell of hot cocoa.
After Max came out Ranma went straight to the bathroom.Haku can stay in the second guest room beside Max and Ranma's.Haku went to take a shower after Ranma came out,she took a towel from Haibara and thanked them for the hospitality.
"Hey Conan,what do you think of it?" asked Max.
"I will call the police and notify them about this.Haku will be taken to custody because of all the people she killed." said Conan and he continued,"I'm sorry Max-san but even though you destroyed that lab,the BO is still out there.I can't risk it."
"Conan,I'm disappointed in you." said Proffessor Agasa."She just looses the only thing that's as close to her as a family and you just want to send her to jail?"
"I...." Conan sighed "I'm sorry,I guess I'm just mad at the fact that The BO is still out there."
"Don't worry Conan-kun.I'm sure they won't start anything rash this time since the lost of one of their main company.Just chill out."said Max.
"I really wished that I can have you're happy go lucky aura with me Max-san." said Conan.
"Yo,anything else to eat? I'm starvin here." shouted Ranma from the kitchen.
"Sorry Ranma-kun, I just remembered we're currently out of food." said Agasa .
"Don't worry,I got it covered." said Max he went to the kitchen with Ranma.After that a nice aroma filled the dining room.Max and Ranma took out the mushrooms they picked from the mountains and made a variety of meals from them.
"Wow, I never thought you could cook Max." mocked Ranma.
"Huh? I'm the one who should be supprised that you didn't turn into Ranko to cook." said Max.
"Haha very funny."
Haku came out wearing a sky blue turtle neck tank top.It was Conan's when he is Shinichi so it was a little bit bigger.Then she wore a Khaki shorts that covers up until her knees again.Her hair was left flowing along her back,it was shining as the light reflected off her black silky surface.In short,she was stunningly gorgeous.While not as shapely as Shampoo or as cheery as Ukyo,Haku gave off a kind of aura that screams peacefullness ,calm and pure that would made even Kasumi's proud.But unlike Kasumi's obliviousness to the outside world,Haku shows that she was aware of her surroundings and was very perspective.Max blushed a bright red while Ranma's eyes boogled out as he mumured "Kawaii..",Conan took off his glasses and pretended to wipe them and hide his slight blush.Haku gave a small smile and her face redden a little when she heard Ranma's not so loud comment.Agasa coughed a little to ease the awkwarded sillence in the room as Haibara just shook her head and mumured something on the lines of boys will be boys.
After the meal they went to bed and tried to get ready for the challenges of tomorrow.
The next day Agasa tried to enrole Haku in Teitan High as a transfer student from Kyoto.They spent the morning sparring and exchanging skills or techniques.Ran came over to pick up Conan and was introduced to Max,Ranma and Haku by Conan.Haku's last name was Momochi as she wanted to remember Zabusa and since he admitted that she was loved as a daughter so she used his last name.When Ran found out about Haku's lack of clothes to wear she promptly dragged Haku out to the mall to get some 'decent' clothes that fits.
They arrived at the womens department and Ran choose the clothes for Haku to wear and made her test them in the dressing room.Ran was shocked to find out that Haku didn't have any bra's on her and she only wore a boxer besides a panty.So Haku was dragged to the next section which all the men avoided.
Max and Ranma was both speachless when Haku and Ran found them at the arcade.Ran and Haku was surrounded by boys off all ages asking them their number or likes or dislikes and asking are they seing anyone.Max let out a whistle as he saw at what Haku was wearing.
Haku wore her hair like yesterday,down at her back swaying everytime she turned her head to refuse another request from a boy.She wore a navy blue turtle neck sleeveless sweater that holds her figure tightly showing of her nice lean frame and her ample um.....chest.Her skin was white and soft looking which reminded Max of Snow White.She no longer wear her Khaki shorts instead she was wearing a deep blue pair of jeans and a sports shoe.Ran quickly spotted the two boys and called to them.Some guys left when they saw that the two girls were taken but some still stood there and made challenging sound to mock them and tried to look intimidating.
When they where leaving a voice called out to them from behind."Hey wait up you two."
They turned arround to meet a group of boys that reminded Max of the people from Grease.Ranma smirked and cracked his knuckles preparing for a quick punch up.Max sighed and he grinned at the leader who inreturn glared at them.
"Hand us the chicks and you can be free from any pain we could think of to do to you." said the leader.
"Hhmm....then I won't expect much from you." said Ranma.
"Well who's gonna go first?" said Max.
The group was shocked at first but laughed loudly at hearing that.
"You two punks think that you can deffeat all eight of us? You must be crazy." said one of them.
Without any warning Haku appeared infront of the leader and made a twisting motion to his arms and a hit to his head then throw him over the shoulder.Max and Ranma saw the que and started their own batch of attacks.Ran also joined in the fight and punched one guy in the stomach causing him to bend over covering in agony.Shouts and cries of pain could be heard at the center of the arcade,people just avoided the place since the group always starts the fight but stayed behind to watch the carnage.Most were cheering for Max and his friends because that group bullied and terrorized the players there.
A boy was abruptly halted in his attack as a spinning backfist slammed into his face, followed by an elbow to the gut and then an uppercut to the chin from Max.
Another one received three, fast jabs to the chest, followed by a reverse-spin kick to the temple by Ranma.
Haku made a double spin kick, followed by an elbow to another boy's chest, then a one-two combination to the face.
Ran was making four rapid, short kicks to the chest of an unlucky boy, followed by a double slap to the face.
By now, the gangsters had a pretty good idea what a punching bag felt like as they received three roundhouse kicks, a few head butts, and three hard straights to the nose.
The audiences winced as Haku gave the leader a knee to his groin , three airplane spins and an upper cut to his chin.He was sent flying bodily to the crowd.Some one took the opportunaty to kick him again.
After a few minutes which seems like hours to the eight boys,Max and his friends left the arcade leaving behind a crowd of former victims of the gang cheering for them.
A dark figure in the shadows was siting infront of five otherfigures accross the room.He was Gin.The BO was not pleased with the out come of their lab and trouble shooter.
"I swear that I shall kill those two that destroyed the place.Just give me one more chance." said Gin,fear was clearly visible in his voice.
"You'd better or it'll be your last.Now get out." boomed the voice.
"Yes sir." said Gin.

Author's Note :
Another long chapter from yours truely.
I need to break up the fall of the BO chap coz it's too long.
I like Haku in the manga and I think that he shouldn't die like that so I made up this theory of cloning.Yeah maybe I'll be paired with her I don't know....but please review !!
Chapter 6 : The Fall of The B.O. part 1
(A/N: Yay I was very happy when I recieved the reviews from my readers.The novel that I took the techniques from are none other than the works of Mr Jin Yong.The title of the books are 'The Condor Heroes' or 'The Brave Archer' and 'The Return Od The Condor Heroes' which is the sequel to the first book.My dad bought the whole movie today and I was very happy so I decided to post up this chap.
I know that my fic lacks the environmental detail and all that stuff.It is because of two main reasons: 1. I'm lazy to write all the things that normal common sense can think of. 2. I don't know how or when to add these scenes. Then there's the fact that this is my of writing thank you White Shadow for noticing my Alright on to the show.)

: The Alpha and Omega aka Kami-sama
-----------------
The two former Nerima residence introduced the ninjas to Conan and gang next day.Conan contacted his father but when he turned to talk to Max....they where gone from sight.
"Oh no...they left without telling me their whereabouts.How am I suppose to give them backup?" said Conan.
"Humph,so the demon wishes to take down my place eh? I'll show them the panelty for crossing me.Jack make our security ten times tougher.Gave each exit ten gaurds or more.Every camera must be activated and in good condition.And let me know if my next team of ninja's are ready." said Jones.
"Yes Boss,the doc says another 30 minutes or so and you'll have another zabusa and Haku." said Jack.
"Good.Let's see if they can best against themselves."
"Wow this place is heavily gaurded.Can you uh...teleport us in there? " asked Max.
"Unfortunaetly no.This place is covered by wards that even the most skilled ninja couldn't penetrate it.It seems like they knew of my defect." said Zabusa.
"So..we'll just blast our way in?" asked Ranma.
"Why not? Zabusa-san...can you and Haku make a mist thick enoughtt to cover the whole building?" asked Max.
"Ofcourse,what you intend to do?" asked Zabusa.
"You'll see."
The two former Mist Shinobis made a hand seal and chanted "Hidden Mist No Jutsu."
A dense mist emerged from nowhere and everything was covered in white.
I could put a knife throught it... thought Max."Ready Ranma?"
"Ready."
The two martial artists charged up their battle aura.Blue and Golden light aluminated the two.
" SHIN RYU HOKODAN !!"
" MOKOU TAKABISHA BEAM !!"
A bright golden ball of energy blasted through the front gate and crashed through the door followed by a beam of blue Ki.The sight was devastating and everything in the path was destroyed.Nothing was left behind except the scourged earth.The two mist ninjas where shocked beyond belive.Zabusa's jaw would be touching the ground right now if it wasn't for his bandages covering his mouth.Haku was also stunned and was sillently thanking her luck that Ranma didn't do that in their battle earlier.Only one thing was in their mind now...How the hell do they get so much Chackra?
An alarm rang through the not so sillent night as swarms of black clothed man with riffles ran out to intercept them.But when they arrived at the scene nothing was there except a small yellow note.A man picked up the note and read out loud.
"Pull string to find out what mystery prize you got ! " said the man then he stupidly pulled the string that's attached to the note.The note started to gave off a small portion of smoke then a loud and big explosion took place by the gates engulfing all those stupid enough to be there.
"I really need to get one of those." said Max as he and the rest where running in the hall way from the little supprize they left behind.They came to a turning and took a left, then a few more turns and a few stair cases..ok 20 or more stair cases...
"I hate stairs,I hate stairs,why can we take the elevator?" asked Max.
"They could stop the elevator and fill us with lead as soon as we come out." said Zabusa.
After more stairs they finally arrived at the office of Mr Jones.Zabusa knocked down the door with only one kick.They went in but they stood a man...with a large sword like Zabusa,a bandaged face like Zabusa,baggy jeans like Zabusa, hell it is Zabusa!
"What the hell? They...they cloned me." said Zabusa.
"I have no idea what you are talking about,you imposter." said the clone.
"What he means is that you're a clone." said Max.
"Clone? Hah..nobody can clone me.." said the oblivious clone.
"We are clones from the original Zabusa that died in the Wave country." said the 'good' Zabusa beside Max.
"I never died...wait...wave country?I ...aarrrgghh" the clone clutched his head as though having the great granfather of headaches in agony.
A voice boomed out from nowhere "Kill the imposter !" Then the clone stopped and took out his sword preparing to attack them.The eyes were red now and it seems void of any sign of life,a low growling could be heard from him.
"They...brain washed him." said Max.
"Yes...Haku,lead them to the factory and destroy our blood canisters..then kill jones.I'll handle him." said Zabusa as he too took out his large sword named Kubikiri...
"But...Zabusa-sama..." said Haku.
"Go NOW !! This is my final command to you." shouted Zabusa as he dashed and intercepted the clone.Swords clashed against each other as the two demons faught to the death.Haku took of her mask to look at Zabusa for the last time for she know that this will be the last time she was able to look at her mentor.She tried to hold back the tears that are forming in her eyes but failed as a drop of liquid fell at the side of her cheek.She quickly wiped away the tear and put on her mask again and she began to lead Max and Ranma away form the battle.Shouts of jutsus were heard echoing when they left.
"You know we could help him..." said Ranma.
"No...when he is like that not even I myself can interfier with is fight.The laboratory is located on the next couple of floors above." said Haku,her voice quivered as she speak.
"Don't worry,he'll be alright.We'll just kill that morron who created you and come back and help him." said Max.
"Hope we're in time too..." but before Haku could finish her sentence a barrage of needles were launched at their legs.A figure appeared from above and landed onfront of the group just a few feet ahead.It was a cloned Haku but his one is dressed in a green sweater instead of a gray one.This one also looked abit taller and is a male.
"Haku,you and Max go ahead.I got a score to settle." said Ranma eagerly as her went to a stance with his feet appart in a half horse stance.
"Becarefull Ranma,this one looks like he won't hold back." said Max.
"Beware his Demonic Mirrors Technique." said Haku she took Max's hands and made a seal with another hand....then they teleported behind the clone and began running.
"Now they tells me.Oh well,gimme your best shot." said Ranma.
"Die..." growled the clone and dashed for Ranma but this time Ranma too didn't hold back as the clone hit a block of ice and turned to a frozen statue as his hands made contact.
"Hah, how'd ya like my version of your clone?" taunted Ranma,but it was short lived because the statue cracked and Haku broke loose from his frozen state.Ranma jumped to the air and let loose with a ki blast then smashed his hands on the ground to produce a pillar of Ice to block Haku's second barrage of needles.
"Screw Upper Revised : Flame Tornado " shouted Ranma as the tornado of fire charged towards Haku.The clone was stunned for a while as he never seen anything like that before but then made a few quick seals and a mirror appeared infront of him to block the firery attack by Ranma.
Shit that mirror thingy....Haku said thet they're dangerous.They are made of ice so maybe a much hotter fire attack can break them though Ranma as he tried to gather as much heat in the room...he wasn't doing very well because the room temperature was below 16 degrees.
"Flame Circle!!" creid Ranma as he threw a great circle of fire at the Mirror.Vapours were released as the attack made contact but that was all that happened.The mirror didn't even seemed to take any damage.
"It's useless.... 'Demonic Mirror No Justsu'!" shouted the clone...mirrors appear arround Ranma, closing him inside a dome of mirrors.
Oh fuck,now I'm in deep trouble. thought Ranma as hundreds of needles was thrown at him.Ranma tried to dodge but he failed as the needle pierced and cutted his arms and legs but he managed no avoid taking damge to his vital points.Tofu's gonna have a fit of time tryin' to patch me up.
Meanwhile........Zabusa was panting as he leaned on his sword.The clone was standing infront of him and he didn't seem to have any sweat on him.
He must be enhanced with something to have matched all my skills and yet not even break a sweat...Damn looks like I need to use that technique....But I will need a large amount of water to perform that Jutsu. just then the clone took off the bandages by his hands and there Zabusa saw two holes on each hand.The holes released water from them.The water surrounded the clone as he made an all too familiar hand seal.
"Oh no you don't !!" cried Zabusa as he threw his sword at the clone and began to make his own version of the seal.
The sword tore through the clones deffences and he was stopped.Blood was spreaded everywhere as the clones hands were cut off and the sword embeded his chest.
"Water Explosion No Jutsu !! " shouted Zabusa as he finished his last hand seal.A large amount of water came spinning towards the clone and smashed through the wall.After that Zabusa went to check on the clone.The clones body was full with kunai's and shurikens and was badly damaged.His bandage that covered the clone was off and it revealed Jack.zabusa grunted in disguist and turned away from him.He retrieved his sword and proceeded to follow Max's trail.
Max and Haku arrived at the lab to find it deserted.
"Damn ! He must've escaped." cursed Max.
"No,look." pointed Haku to their left.A body was layed there with blood gushing out of his wounds.It was the body of Mr Jones.
"Well looks like someone took cared of him for us...but who?" said Max.Then Haku and Max leaped away from the corpse as they noticed it was starting to smoke.Then it exploded to a rain of blood an gory all over the place.
Haku was shielded by her mirror and Max was under a broken table.What they saw next was disguisting,blood was everywhere and bits and pieces of Mr Jones where at the corner or hanging at the fan.
"The term 'when the shit hits the fan' really couldn't help much in this situation." joked Max.Haku was turning green at that comment but was hidden behind her Anbu mask she was wearing.
"So...you manage to escape all that explosion eh? Impresive." a voice was heard behind them.
They turned arround to find something standing 8 feet tall with a face even his own mother won't love.It was a hybrid of something with a tail of a lizard,the legs where robotic and shined in a metallic colour.The body was large and filled with muscles.It has four arms and a large horn coming out from its head.The face was....well just think of the most horrific monster you could ever know and multiply it by 10 times and maybe you could get the picture.Slivar was dripping from his mouth and razor sharp fangs were shown.It's toungue was like a reptiles, flicking and swaying here and there while a growling sound was made.
"Eww...now THAT is what I call UUUUGGLIIEEE !!" said Max and he made a vomitting expression.Haku was puzzled because Max could make such a crude joke when the topic of the joke was glaring at him.She readied her throwing needles and filled them with chakra.
"Haku this guy looks...familiar..Oh my God! It's Vodka, I never thought Gin would go this far." said Max.
The creature laughed "HAHAHAHA, I was Vodka but I when recieved this new body that gin gave me...I am known as The Ultimate Killing Machine !!" he them leaped at Max ,claws and fangs bearing ,threatening to tear him appart with his strong hands.
Max just stood there with a smirk on his face.
"Max-san !!" cried haku as she threw her needle as Vodka.Although the needles were filled with chakra it only gazed the outer skin of him.She closed her eyes as her first friend was killed infront of her.Eventhough they only meet for a few hours she considered him and Ranma as her best friends.Ranma was an arrogant jerk sometimes but he was an honourable guy and his promises was as good as gold.Max on the other hand was fun to be with and he seems to know alot of things,there was a mysterious air arround him.The two boys always seems to supprise her and Zabusa-sama....huh? Zabusa-sama !! he was still battling down there.She tightened her fists on her needles and prepared to throw them at the monsters eyes to blind him.But suddenly the monster turned into a frozen statue.
Haku just stared at it with a shocked espression hidden by her mask.Then a hand took her waist and she was carried to the door.She turned to look at her 'carrier' and gasped because it was none other than Max.He put her down near the door and took on a stance she saw earlier at the gate and braised herself for a big bang.
" SHIN RYU HOKODAN !! " shouted Max as he unleashed a gaint ball of ki at the monster.The golden ball of ki smashed against the frozen statue and a big explosion was felt through the whole building.
Max was panting slightly after his attack and he leaned on the door frame for support.Haku took his arms and helped him out.
"Thanks Haku." said Max .
Haku shook her head lightly and said " Don't worry Max-san,you saved me and Zabusa from taking another life.But please don't scare me like that anymore."
"Huh? Oh that...sorry about that.Sometimes I love the look of supprise on my enemies face." smirked Max."I think I can walk now."
But then a loud roar broke the short lived sillence between Max and Haku.They turned arround to find a very angry and very badly burned Vodka.His skin were burned until it was still smoking and it makes a vary bad smell like a mixture of rotten eggs and milk.
"Aww shit,now he's really mad." said Max as he and Haku quickened their pace towards the stairs.Haku nearly made a facefault by Max's comment.
"Genbuu Ki Shield !!" cried Ranma as he made a dome to cover him up for a breather.Haku's needle bounced off his Ki field as it made contact and made a 'clanking' sound as they fell.Okay...if I can't melt those damn mirrors then I'll have to smash them...Hmm..what did Max say about that technique ...
------------------
Flash Back
"Okay it kinda goes like this.Fire was made by wood,wood by water,water by metal,metal by earth,earth by fire.This goes on like a circle.Then the other circle is the counter circle.
Water counter fire,fire counter metal,metal counter wood,wood counter earth,earth counter water.Ice,lightning and wind are another natural elements that completes the eight astrial gates,or heavenly gates."Bak Gua" is therefore formed.Lightning is even hotter than fire alone so it means it's an evolved form of fire.Ice is another evolved form....by water.Wind is it's own form."
End of Flash Back
-------------------
Ranma gave a smirk that would make even Nabiki proud.He dissabled his Ki shield and ran towards the nearest mirror.He charged his ki and gathered them in his fists.
"Eat this, Rai Sen Ken!!" shouted Ranma and smashed the mirrors with his lighting covered fist.The mirror was destroyed immediately and falls to a million pieces.They didn't have the time to change back to water as they vaporised into fog.
"So...you smashed my mirrors..." said Haku "But it is of no worry.".To Ranma's dismay the mirror replaced itself and was bigger and looked thicker than before.
Okay....that didn't worked.thought Ranma."Oh well, it's better to have seventy years of bad luck than die here."Ranma let Haku's needles pierce him again as he gathered almost all his ki at convert them into electricity.Lightning sparkled arround his body as surge and surge of electricity coursed through Ranma's body but he held on.Not yet...Not yet....just another attack and you're toasted. thought Ranma.He had memorised the method of Haku's attack pattern and planned to attach Haku when another attack was thrown at him.
Haku didn't disappoint him because another wave of needles were thrown at Ranma from all sides again,but this time Ranma was ready...he was ready to ROCK !!
"Lighning Strom Attack !!" Ranma screamed as thousands of volts were unleashed through the needles and the mirrors.It seems that some of the needles were water bunshin needles and since water conducts electricity Haku was SHOCKED (pardon the pun) beyond belive.The mirrors started to crack as vapours were released from them.Ranma smiled evily as he shouted "It's not over you bastard !! Baksai Tenketsu Revised : Genbuu's Rage !! " the ground underneath Ranma was destroyed as the shards of concrete smashed through the mirrors and the still paralyzed Haku.Ranma fell through the hole he created but with a tug and roll he landed safely.A thud was heard and he saw that Haku's body was found dead with large chunks of metal,concrete and blood was pouring out from the wounds.A sharp piece of concrete was embeded into the mask of the clone Haku wore.Traces of brain and an eyeball caould be seen through the cracked mask.
"Yuck..." said Ranma as he regreted having that seventh bowl of ramen.Ranma continued the track Haku and Max made towards the lab upstairs.
Max and Haku could be seen running for their lives as balls of fire or sometimes accids were sent their way by Vodka who was chasing them.
Gotta think of something...thought Max as he ran as fast as he can but due to his last attack he was lacking alot of ki,the fact that he need to dodge the attacks of Vodka doesn't help them either because it decreased his speed drasticly. "Haku,can you make a whole line of mirrors to stop him?" asked Max.
"I'll try." Haku made a few hand seals and shouted "Demonic Mirrors No Jutsu !!". Rolls and rolls of thick chakra filled mirrors appeared from the ground sealing Vodka from ever approaching them.The fire and accid couldn't penetrate the thick walls of ice created by Haku.Haku's legs failed her as she dropped down to her knees from using alot of her chakra to create that much mirrors but Max quickly caught her from falling down.As Max held Haku he was shocked to find out that her body was very cold and her breathing was getting weaker and weaker by the minute.
"Holy shit,Haku you alright? You're freezing all over." said Max as he held her.Max took off his wind blocker he was wearing
and wrapped her in it.The wind blocker won't keep her warm enough but it'll keep the cold of this place from getting to her away. Max carried Haku and ran again.
Vodka was angry,no he was beyond that he was furious.Infact, he was so furious that all he was seing is red.He tried punching the mirrors but ended up a sore knuckle instead.All his strengh was used to feul his anger and it blinded his judgement.Then after a few minutes of roaring , his human sense kicked in.He search his metallic leg for a switch, he found it and he opened the compartment to find a cylinder of blue liquid.He opened the sealed cap and drank it's fluids.The cylinder fall from his hands as he bended over and screamed in agony.Black leathery wings shot out from his back and his horns were sharpper than ever.His muscles grew bigger as his tail also grew longer and spikes appeared all over it.He was now over 12 feet tall.Each step he took leaves a foot print embeded on the reinforced concrete.He looked manically at the retreating forms of Max and Haku then he gave a punch to the mirror which shattered immediately when his fist made contact.He made a nasty growl with drool all over his face as he made his way to the second mirror and he started to destroy them one by one.
"The hell,I could feel his Ki signiture and it's increased ten fold.That vibrating sound sure ain't no earth quake." said Ranma while running.
"Hey Ranma !" shouted Max as he carried Haku throught the corridor.Ranma tried to stop but was told by Max to run.
"Max I just drag myself here and you're tellin' me to run? Ranma Saotome never runs." said Ranma.
"You'll run when you see what's after us.He took my Shin Ryu Hokodan and shrugged it off like a minor burn.And now he just did something to himself to become more stronger." said Max between breaths.
Ranma nooded as he himself wasn't in a good shape from the fight with the clone Haku.They came accross the place where Ranma faught and saw Zabusa there and told him about what happened.He refuse to run but was finally persuaded by them when he saw Haku like that.They just kept running...and running....untill they came to the front gate.
"Wait I think we lost him." said Max.
A window from ten stories above exploded with a burst of flames and out came the black winged figure of the BO agent Vodka.He was like the devil himself,flames coming out from its nostrills with red bloody eyes shining through the night.
"Oh fuck !!" cried Ranma as he avoided a volly of spiked accid balls from Vodka.(picture those spike balls from star craft's Hydralisks)
Max handled Haku to Zabusa as he readied himself he cupped his hands together and let loose with a volly of ki balls and shouted to Ranma."Ranma,I'll distract him and you use the rising dragon !" Ranma gave Max a nod and went to do his 'Soul Of Ice'technique while making a circular patern right under Vodka's flying form.Max continued the ki blast and he occationally fires a few 'Raging Flames' to heat up the air surrounding Vodka.
"Zabusa-san, do you still have enough energy to create a small patch of mist under ugly ?" cried Max as he dodge another ball of flames.
"I'll try.'Hidden Mist No Jutsu'" a small layer of mist covered Ranma from Vodka's view.Max fired a large ball of flames right into Vodka's face.Vodka roared an inhuman sound and breathed out a huge gause of flame at Max.
"Goodness gratious Great Balls of FIRE !!" sang Max and he shouted to Ranma "NOW !!"
A voice that screamed " HIRYUU SHOTEN HA !! " was heard through the group.Then a huge tornado rised underneath Vodka. It caught Vodka offguard while trying to search for the source of the sound.The tornado was filled with cold air and the surrounding layer was hot air courtesy of Max and Vodka's own flames.In the tornado stood Ranma with his right fist in an upper cut,he then crossed his hands infront of his chest and shouted 'Ki Shin Dai Ryu Dan' which means 'Demon God Storm' then let loose with a few vacuum blades.The blades cutted throught even Vodka's thick hide but it wasn't deep enough to cause any severe damage.
"That was the sealed technique of Genma.The 'Yamisenken's (thousand mountain fist) most powerul technique.I'll help out,Sonic Boom !" shouted Max as he borrowed Guile's attack from Street Fighters and threw a few ki blades into the tornado.Vodka was attacked by vacuum blades,ki blades,ki blasts from Ranma and Max plus the rocks that rammed into his stomach.The sand and mist blinded his eye sight making him even madder which made the tornado lasts even longer and more powerful.When the tornado grew smaller and smaller,all we can see is Ranma lying in a big crater in the middle.Fortunately, he was still consciouse with a few scratches from the rocks arround him.His clothes were shattered and his pants only covered untill his knees.He flashed a cocky grin at Max who in return smirked at his friend.
Zabusa was stunned at witnessing such a powerful feat,but quickly turned to look after Haku in his arm.Then they heard a loud crash on a black a few feets away from them.The car exploded in flames from the fallen body of the former BO agent.
"MMM HHMM I'm on FIRE !!!" sang Max as he watched the flames.Ranma sweat dropped at Max and Zabusa tried not to facefault because of Haku in his arms.Haku started to wake up from the noise of the explosion and Zabusa let her down slowly."Wha..what happened? Zabusa-sama you're alright !! Oh I was so worried about you." cried Haku then she wrapped herself at Zabusa who hugged her inreturn.
Suddenly a green spike of accid emerged from the huge flames and headed straight on to an unexpected Haku.Zabusa saw it and pushed Haku away but was too late to dodge even with his years of ninja trainning.The spike ball tore through Zabusa's chest and came out from the back.Max and Ranma was shocked ,Haku ran towards Zabusa's limp form to support him .Tears were falling from her now red face as she screamed Zabusa's name.Blood leaked on the road as Zabusa tried to talk to Haku for the last time.
"Ha..Haku gasp I...I want you too..gasp live...live on..gasp...I finally get to save... you this time.Remember what I told.....gasp you...I ..always looked at you...gasp as..as bigger gasp my own child..." with that the former Demon Of the Mist died for the second time only this time he died happily.Haku cried on his shoulder and clutched his cold body."I will do as you say master....I will stay here with my friends and live on as you say..."
"Alright that was so cheap even for a big idiotic freak of nature like you." said Max and charged up his Nine Solar Stance.
"I would never forgive you !!" shouted Ranma as he charged up his remmaining ki.
The two martial artists ran to Vodka who just came out from the raging fire.Here he meet face to face with two angry devotee to the art as he recived a kick to the head and an open palm strike to his solar plexus.
"Rai Amaguri Sen Ken !!" screamed Ranma and added uncountable punches filled with electricity to Vodka's gut.
"18th Palms : Shuang Long Chu Hai !!(Double Raging Dragon From The Sea)" shouted max as he pushed two palm strikes from behind Vodka and attacked his spine with the 'Mighty Snap' all the while straining his Nine Solar Stance for more Ki and Chi as he continued to attack various vital parts of Vodka with Ranma.
"Burning Knuckle!!"
"15th Palm : Zhan Long Zhai Ye(Battle Dragon on The Field)!!"
"Karyuu Ken !!"
"Wild Ball Fist combo !!"
"Umisenken : White Snake Trusting Fist !!"(A/N :I forgoten the Jap version of it so I used the Chinese Translation )
"Raging Flames !!"
"Screw Upper !!"
Vodka wasn't happy.He just escaped from a fall from almost 500 meters high and onto a car which exploded into flames to becoming a punching bag for two really pissed off Martial Artists.Nope...he wasn't happy,he really wished to fly away...hey he had wings don't he? Nope not anymore since Ranma slashed them off with his vacuum blades to prevent him from flying away.He tried to spit out those spike balls but was forced to swallow them up when Max used his Mighty Snap on his throat,damn those spikes really hurt although his skin was tough.Well...his skin IS tough but nothing can stand the combined fury of Max and Ranma.waren't these guys just kids? No....he was sent to kill two ninja clones..not skilled Martial Artists who have attacks that could kill a normal person ten times over.He wasn't paid enough for this..damn you Gin.Vodka was given the complete treatment of the eight heavenly elements plus a few complimentary kick under the belt....author sweat dropped
Yup, deffinately ain't paid enough for this.
Finally the two boys leaped a part to reveal a VERY beaten up form of Vodka.It was a sorry sight to behold,his wings were ripped of, that could be fixed with a little help of PVA Glue.His horns which he proudly have on his head was also gone,another mix of PVA glue?His muscles have bruises on bruises , blood gushing out from some wounds,a few broken ribs,which can all be fixed by a LOT of PVA glue.....damn I love you PVA glue .His metallic legs were bended and have a new shape of fists and palm prints on them...some water colour and it'll look as though me made them on purpose.All in all he wasn't as bad as he seems.....wrong.As Murphy's Law put it..the carnage ..um...the Show must go on.
"Final AttacK !!" shouted the two Martial Artist.
"CHOU HODOUKEN : SHIN RYUU HOKODAN !!"
"CHOU MOKOU TAKABISHA BEAM !!"
All Vodka could do was stood there and curse his luck.....damn you Gin...
As the two emotional Ki attacks hamburgered him in between (A/N : I know it's suppose to be sandwitched in between but I love Burgers so I couldn't help it ) Vodka couldn't help to shout out his favourite villian's catch phrase..."CURSE YOU BUZZ LIGHT YEAR !!!" and the blast swallowed him up.Max almost face faulted Who the hell is writing this anyway?
Elsewhere on Planet Z....
"ACCHHOOO !! " a certain purple evil robot was having the grand daddy of sneezes.
After the final attacks Max and Ranma slumped to their knees in exhaustion.Haku was still carrying the body of Zabusa but had stopped crying.Max and Ranma walked slowly to her trying to comford her.
"He died saving you.It's his wish to do that." said Max.
"He did the most honourable thing by sacrificing his life for you.He wanted you to live on." said RAnma as he patted Haku on her shoulder.
"Thank you Max-san ,Ranma-san.I will follow what Zabusa-sama said to live on.I...can I stay with you two?" asked Haku.
"Sure,the proff wouldn't mind I think.By the way,we need to burn Zabusa's body so that they would never ever clone him again." said Max.
"I understand." said Haku and she put Zabusa's body on the road while giving him a last look.
Max and Ranma used their last Ki reserves to fire two big balls of fire at the body.What was left of the Mist ninja was a batch of ashes and his sword Kubikiri.Sirens from Police cars were heard accross a few blocks away so they quickly gathered the ashes into a jar which Ranma took out from subspace and headed back to Beika street.
"What the hell do you think you two were doing !!" shouted Conan as Max and Ranma arrived home.They were covered with scorch marks,cuts and dirt.Ranma was wearing Max's wind bloacker because Haku felt better now.Max just went to the bath room and took a shower.Ranam slumped down at the sofa and he started to snore.Haku told them what happened and the location of the HQ and the death of Vodka.Conan immediately phoned the Police and his father about the incident while Haibara help to bandage Ranma.Proffessor Agasa gave drinks and some cakes to Ranma who woke up at the smell of hot cocoa.
After Max came out Ranma went straight to the bathroom.Haku can stay in the second guest room beside Max and Ranma's.Haku went to take a shower after Ranma came out,she took a towel from Haibara and thanked them for the hospitality.
"Hey Conan,what do you think of it?" asked Max.
"I will call the police and notify them about this.Haku will be taken to custody because of all the people she killed." said Conan and he continued,"I'm sorry Max-san but even though you destroyed that lab,the BO is still out there.I can't risk it."
"Conan,I'm disappointed in you." said Proffessor Agasa."She just looses the only thing that's as close to her as a family and you just want to send her to jail?"
"I...." Conan sighed "I'm sorry,I guess I'm just mad at the fact that The BO is still out there."
"Don't worry Conan-kun.I'm sure they won't start anything rash this time since the lost of one of their main company.Just chill out."said Max.
"I really wished that I can have you're happy go lucky aura with me Max-san." said Conan.
"Yo,anything else to eat? I'm starvin here." shouted Ranma from the kitchen.
"Sorry Ranma-kun, I just remembered we're currently out of food." said Agasa .
"Don't worry,I got it covered." said Max he went to the kitchen with Ranma.After that a nice aroma filled the dining room.Max and Ranma took out the mushrooms they picked from the mountains and made a variety of meals from them.
"Wow, I never thought you could cook Max." mocked Ranma.
"Huh? I'm the one who should be supprised that you didn't turn into Ranko to cook." said Max.
"Haha very funny."
Haku came out wearing a sky blue turtle neck tank top.It was Conan's when he is Shinichi so it was a little bit bigger.Then she wore a Khaki shorts that covers up until her knees again.Her hair was left flowing along her back,it was shining as the light reflected off her black silky surface.In short,she was stunningly gorgeous.While not as shapely as Shampoo or as cheery as Ukyo,Haku gave off a kind of aura that screams peacefullness ,calm and pure that would made even Kasumi's proud.But unlike Kasumi's obliviousness to the outside world,Haku shows that she was aware of her surroundings and was very perspective.Max blushed a bright red while Ranma's eyes boogled out as he mumured "Kawaii..",Conan took off his glasses and pretended to wipe them and hide his slight blush.Haku gave a small smile and her face redden a little when she heard Ranma's not so loud comment.Agasa coughed a little to ease the awkwarded sillence in the room as Haibara just shook her head and mumured something on the lines of boys will be boys.
After the meal they went to bed and tried to get ready for the challenges of tomorrow.
The next day Agasa tried to enrole Haku in Teitan High as a transfer student from Kyoto.They spent the morning sparring and exchanging skills or techniques.Ran came over to pick up Conan and was introduced to Max,Ranma and Haku by Conan.Haku's last name was Momochi as she wanted to remember Zabusa and since he admitted that she was loved as a daughter so she used his last name.When Ran found out about Haku's lack of clothes to wear she promptly dragged Haku out to the mall to get some 'decent' clothes that fits.
They arrived at the womens department and Ran choose the clothes for Haku to wear and made her test them in the dressing room.Ran was shocked to find out that Haku didn't have any bra's on her and she only wore a boxer besides a panty.So Haku was dragged to the next section which all the men avoided.
Max and Ranma was both speachless when Haku and Ran found them at the arcade.Ran and Haku was surrounded by boys off all ages asking them their number or likes or dislikes and asking are they seing anyone.Max let out a whistle as he saw at what Haku was wearing.
Haku wore her hair like yesterday,down at her back swaying everytime she turned her head to refuse another request from a boy.She wore a navy blue turtle neck sleeveless sweater that holds her figure tightly showing of her nice lean frame and her ample um.....chest.Her skin was white and soft looking which reminded Max of Snow White.She no longer wear her Khaki shorts instead she was wearing a deep blue pair of jeans and a sports shoe.Ran quickly spotted the two boys and called to them.Some guys left when they saw that the two girls were taken but some still stood there and made challenging sound to mock them and tried to look intimidating.
When they where leaving a voice called out to them from behind."Hey wait up you two."
They turned arround to meet a group of boys that reminded Max of the people from Grease.Ranma smirked and cracked his knuckles preparing for a quick punch up.Max sighed and he grinned at the leader who inreturn glared at them.
"Hand us the chicks and you can be free from any pain we could think of to do to you." said the leader.
"Hhmm....then I won't expect much from you." said Ranma.
"Well who's gonna go first?" said Max.
The group was shocked at first but laughed loudly at hearing that.
"You two punks think that you can deffeat all eight of us? You must be crazy." said one of them.
Without any warning Haku appeared infront of the leader and made a twisting motion to his arms and a hit to his head then throw him over the shoulder.Max and Ranma saw the que and started their own batch of attacks.Ran also joined in the fight and punched one guy in the stomach causing him to bend over covering in agony.Shouts and cries of pain could be heard at the center of the arcade,people just avoided the place since the group always starts the fight but stayed behind to watch the carnage.Most were cheering for Max and his friends because that group bullied and terrorized the players there.
A boy was abruptly halted in his attack as a spinning backfist slammed into his face, followed by an elbow to the gut and then an uppercut to the chin from Max.
Another one received three, fast jabs to the chest, followed by a reverse-spin kick to the temple by Ranma.
Haku made a double spin kick, followed by an elbow to another boy's chest, then a one-two combination to the face.
Ran was making four rapid, short kicks to the chest of an unlucky boy, followed by a double slap to the face.
By now, the gangsters had a pretty good idea what a punching bag felt like as they received three roundhouse kicks, a few head butts, and three hard straights to the nose.
The audiences winced as Haku gave the leader a knee to his groin , three airplane spins and an upper cut to his chin.He was sent flying bodily to the crowd.Some one took the opportunaty to kick him again.
After a few minutes which seems like hours to the eight boys,Max and his friends left the arcade leaving behind a crowd of former victims of the gang cheering for them.
A dark figure in the shadows was siting infront of five otherfigures accross the room.He was Gin.The BO was not pleased with the out come of their lab and trouble shooter.
"I swear that I shall kill those two that destroyed the place.Just give me one more chance." said Gin,fear was clearly visible in his voice.
"You'd better or it'll be your last.Now get out." boomed the voice.
"Yes sir." said Gin.
TBC......
