Zero Saotome Chapter Three
"What's he blabbering about?" Nabiki asked as she tried to rub the sleep from her eyes, from what she could see Genma was lying on the ground after looking at Zero and screaming "Ranma!".
"I don't know Nabiki he just looked at your tin man there and started shouting his son's name."
Akane added her two bits worth. "Why not ask the metal marvel there what's going on?"
"Well Zero, you heard her. what's going on?" Nabiki inquired of the newest member of the household. the boy in question just shrugged.
Isn't that the question of the day... Zero mentally dead panned.
"I don't remember ever meeting this man in my life so I wouldn't know. He seems familiar though."
Zero frowned at the being under him.
"That doesn't exactly cut it Zero, you told me before that you couldn't remember anything of your life." Nabiki said in one of her Ice Queen demeanor. She was suspicious, could this be the dead son of her father's best friend?
You know anything X? he thought, hoping the machine would be able to pull up something from his memories that were just a jumble in the back of his head.
-negative match on Genma Saotome in previous records.- was the machine's reply.
-Warning- Zero looked up in time to dodge a large wooden mallet that was coming at his head.
'WHAT THE F...' he thought as he saw Akane Tendo on the other end of the large hammer.
"PERVERT!" she screamed at him before trying to hit him again and again and again every time with him dodging it.
"What's your problem?" he asked in a surprisingly calm voice while dodging the clumsy swings of the girl.
"YOU WERE TRYING SOMETHING PERVERTED!" she screamed.
"When," jumping over her on the last swing he landed behind the unconscious Genma Saotome and beside Nabiki."did I do something perverted?" he inquired, looking at the girl beside him. She just shrugged and glared at Akane with her "do that and you'll regret it" patented glare; if Zero left because of baby sister there then so went his rent.
"Stop it Akane," she said in a vocal representation of her look. "He hasn't done anything worth meeting your Mallet-sama." she said as her sister a bit fed up with her younger sister's latest habit of bashing everything with her hammer.
Hey X, any idea what a mallet-sama is?
-Querying 'mallet-sama'... query returned 0 results-
"Mallet-sama?" Zero inquired, the look of pure confusion adorning his face.
"Akane can pull a large wooden hammer out of nowhere which she uses to hit those who she labels a pervert" Nabiki explained motioning to the same large wooden hammer that was currently aimed to hit Zero. Zero just stared at the mallet a sec before he cocked his head like a dog that had heard something interesting.
-solidifying energy in a matter conversion pocket- X intoned. "A Chi technique..." he continued to watch for a moment before Akane jumped at him.
"HENTAI NO BAKA!" She yelled swinging again, Zero grabbed Nabiki, ducked the mallet that was going to hit her had it struck its mark. set her on the floor, stood up, and slammed Akane's mallet with his fist, shattering the wood. Akane was shocked. "MALLET-SAMA!" she cried cradling the remains of her hammer.
"Is something wrong with her?" he asked Nabiki while helping her up. She just stared at her sister then at Zero.
"How did you do that?" she asked, having watched Zero destroy Akane's hammer.
---------
"RANMA!" Genma shouted as he bolted upright in the futon he was sleeping in. Looking around at the guest room he was staying in at the Tendo's he sighed in relief and a bit of sadness. "It was only a dream... Only a dream..." laying back down, he heard the gentle sliding sound of the door opening.
"Saotome, I know that you dearly miss your son..." Soun Tendo spoke withholding tears as he recalled the story of his friend's son's death and with it the end of their chance to unite the schools of Anything Goes Martial Arts. "We will all miss him. but you shouldn't torture yourself like that, the young man downstairs isn't your son, your son died." most of the gods face faulted at that, Soun Tendo was counseling someone over losing a loved one.
---------
Nabiki was suspicious, Genma's story varied too much every time he told it and this latest bit with the scream and faint didn't help. Zero's amnesia also seemed pretty convenient, this was why she sat there at a library computer doing a search on the Saotome family and the mysterious Ranma.
"This guy comes into our lives, tells us a sob story 30 ways to nothing and now he's yelling his dead son's name at the first person to offer to pay rent for a room. She hoped that Zero wasn't Ranma; she didn't know what would happen should he be the dead son that he didn't remember being. "Hurry up..." she growled at her computer while it worked on compiling the search results.
-346 Direct Entries on Ranma Saotome -7394 entries pertaining to the saotome name
Sighing Nabiki set about going through the things her computer found on the internet based on relevancy.
- Sorting... estimated time 3 hours 15 minutes
Nabiki sighed and set about doing something while she waited for her computer to finish its task.
---------
"Tendo, I saw him! standing there in the dojo, his ghost has come back to haunt me! Oh what did I do to deserve such a son?" the large man bawled into his friend's shoulder while the Soun just bawled while holding his friend to his shoulder.
"Stay strong Saotome. Stay strong." the two sat there for about fifteen minutes till the fat martial artist slowly stopped his bawling and stood up.
"Lets go Tendo, I don't want to miss too much of the day."
---------
"HIYAA!" CRACK The helpless cinder block didn't stand a chance as the stone rending fist punctured its hard structure reducing it to shards and dust. As the dust settled, the fist removed itself from the grinding position it had placed itself in. "Hrumph... " Doctor Tofu had really done a good job fixing her hand and now it was the only hand she was using, imagining that the blocks were instead the head of a certain steel bodied pig-tailed thing.
A blur of words and numbers appeared in Zero's view as areas of Akane's body were outlined causing a new stream to occur. muscle size, reaction time, ligament tension, lung capacity; the words held little meaning to him; the numbers never meant much to him at all. When it was finished, her whole body was outlined and the words disappeared to be replaced by 'Fighting potential, 493'. That got him interested.
what's that mean X?
-it is the approximation of unit Akane's total fighting potential on a rating scale.-
ok, is that number good?
-the average human gets a score of 12-29, those trained in martial arts can gain anywhere from 100-1900 points dependant on aptitude, judgement and personal learning potential.-
ok then what am I at?
The second he said the words, an image of himself came up in his view and the computer went to work. Scrolling the same words as before at speeds just barely slow enough for him to read. One thing he did notice, however, was that his numbers were all larger than hers.
-fighting potential 2548-
Wow... that high huh? he watched Akane break blocks for a bit longer before shaking his head a bit.so, is there any way for her to increase her fighting potential? it seems pretty low when compared to mine
-less emphases on strength, more on speed and technique.-
"Y'know your strength isn't a problem, you should work more on your speed." that voice was the most annoying thing she had ever heard, Zero stood there watching her with the most annoying smirk that made her want to mallet him. But he'd probably just smash her mallet again. That made her so angry! He hurt her mallet-sama!
-mallet at 3 o'clock-
you think that's news?
-negative-
"DIE!" she screamed smashing the floorboard where Zero used to be with a new mallet only to be holding splinters when Zero's fist impacted the head of the mallet crushing it. "NO! Not Mallet-Sama II!" she cried taking the shards of wood to her room with her.
there goes another annoying thing.
-Do you mean the girl or the mallet?-
hmmm...y'know, both.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY LITTLE GIRL!" Soun went into full demon-head mode when his youngest daughter ran past him crying.
- an illusion based technique... easy to perform just a slight ki manipulation.-
"interesting..." Zero stood there a moment before his head grew larger and took on a demonic presence that dwarfed Soun's demon-head, causing the man to back down. "I JUST SMASHED HER MALLET BECAUSE SHE WAS GOING TO HIT ME WITH IT!" feeling the effects of his own technique magnified and used against him Soun dropped on the ground crying and begging forgiveness. "No problem Mr. Tendo, nice technique." Zero stated before walking off. Man what a wuss!
-his high hormonal imbalance causes him to retreat when confronted-
ok, but he's still a wimp.
-agreed-
---------
"Lunch time!" Kasumi called out as the two patriarchs came down the stairs, both brightening up a bit at the thought of her cooking.
"Come on Saotome let's go have some lunch; although for you, it might be breakfast." Soun chided as they walked to the table and sat down.
"Yes Tendo, let's," at the mention of food Genma perked right up and his belly rumbled loudly alerting the two to Genma's lack of sustenance.
"You need some hot water Saotome? huh?" Soun asked in mock confusion. "I'd swear you just went Panda old friend!" he bellowed at the predatory growl of his friends abdomen. Genma just laughed as he opened the door to the dining room causing everyone at the table to turn to the two adults. the three girls and him. He was there, sitting beside the middle daughter in the place Genma himself usually sat.
It was him. He was sure, everything was the same, the same black hair done up in a pig tail, the same slightly childish face, the same piercing slate grey eyes that seemed to accuse Genma, force him to relive all the things he did to his son; taking him away from his mother, the neko-ken, the starvation and long treks, and finally Jusenkyou. now his son's ghost had chosen to haunt him,
remind him of everything he had done to the boy.
"NO!!!" The fat man howled falling backwards sniveling as he tried to drag himself further than the walls would allow him to go. "No no no! don't haunt me, I'm sorry you drowned... I couldn't do anything... Please don't haunt me!" he shrieked as the boy stood and walked towards the man. when he was in range he cocked his head and pierced Genma with his gaze.
--------
"Who are you?" Zero asked the strange man laying on the ground before him. "You seem familiar yet I do not know you." he trailed off still staring the man.
X can you pull anything up? that seems to be your area. -Scanning local nets now... Subject: Genma Saotome, 8927 queried results on 'Saotome' as a family name, 2938 queried results on 'Genma Saotome' sorting by relevance, estimated time 5 minutes 32 seconds.- K tell me what you find.
Standing up he walked over and sat beside Nabiki again as everyone watched his movements. After he was seated everyone turned to the almost catatonic cursed man.
"Come on Saotome lets get you something to eat and you can be introduced to the young man who will be renting a room from us." Soun stated, lifting the man from his place on the ground and slowly leading him to sit beside Akane and try to eat something. Too bad that the infamous Saotome appetite was oddly absent from the pale man.

there a picture of the kid? -Affirmative Latest picture dated 4 years ago- well bring it up anyway let's at least see what he looked like back them
Sitting in the Dojo zero was almost shocked out of his lotus position as the picture looked like a younger version of him. Albeit it probably was a good thing since he was meditating while hovering 2 feet off the ground. As he was slumped on the ground Akane walked in and humphed as she grabbed some more concrete blocks to break.
That looks like me! -calculating possibility that the youth in the pictorial is unit zero at 97.324 percent- so your saying that the fat ass is my father? -affirmative given current information.-
Sighing, Zero stood up and walked towards the door and opened it to reveal Genma himself. As the man came into view, Zero's vison flashed white.
---------
As his sight cleared up, Zero noticed that Genma was standing in front of him looking very much bigger than him and a little miffed. They also didn't appear to be in the Tendo dojo anymore.
"Boy, today we're going to toughen up your body so that your opponent's attacks won't hurt you."
the man said reaching for a bag of miscellaneous plumbing and hardware supplies that he had been able to steal from a nearby construction site. Grabbing first a torque wrench from the bag. "Now don't move boy, and you better learn this quick so we can get onto your next technique."
As the fat man finished his lecture, Zero felt an enormous amount of pain in his shoulder as the wrench was hurled with great force at him. This continued with everything but the long metal pipes;
which were used like baseball bats to constantly beat on the small curled up form of Zero as he tried to get his father to stop. One particularly hard blow to the back of the head caused his vision to blank out again as he slipped into unconsciousness.
---------
Blinking his eyes open, he first noticed that he was on the floor, next thing was that the deep brown eyes of the middle Tendo daughter were staring into his eyes. Bolting upright as soon as his eyes had fully opened, he startled the girl with his rapid motions.
"Nabiki?" he asked looking around himself and noticing that he wasn't on the floor but the futon he was renting from the Tendo's. The girl seemed to be watching over him while he was out. "What's going on X?" he voiced; accidentally getting an odd look from the girl beside him.
-good news or bad news first zero?- "good" -you just recovered a memory- "and the bad news?" -you seem to have lost all concept of internal monolog- "wha?" -your speaking to me instead of thinking to me- "yeah so?" -Nabiki's beside you-
"So Zero... Who's X?" Nabiki asked causing him to freeze up like a deer caught in bright lights. He slowly turned to her, finally remembering she was in the room.
"Nabiki's besi.... oh kuso..."
---------
"Nabiki?... What's going on X?... good... and the bad news... wha?... yeah so?" The boy in front of her said, seemingly oblivious to her sitting there. It was interesting; like he was holding a conversation with someone who wasn't there.
maybe he's crazy she thought to herself as he continued on his little conversation without care.
Normally Nabiki would have found a perfect blackmail candidate but for some reason she didn't really want to do anything that could drive the boy away from her. Where the hell did that come from?
"So Zero... Who's X?" She giggled a bit internally as he looked at her and stiffened.
"Nabiki's besi.... oh kuso..." he slumped his shoulders and she knew she had him. she didn't exactly know what she was gonna get or what she even wanted but she was going to get something.
something she wasn't supposed to get and that make it all the better to her.
"Well it started a while ago, kinda came with the whole light show you seen... just woke up one day and I was like this" he tried to smile but his nervous feelings held back any mirth that he might have had.
---------
"I just need some sleep, just get this nonsense outta my head. after that, maybe I should just avoid him... take some time to get used to what's going on." Walking to his room Genma was looking to take a nap after a game of shogi with soun. looking in his room he saw a sight that made him wet his gi and drop to his knees begging not to be killed.
in the room Zero sat meditating 3 feet above the ground and glowing with a bright blue aura,
needless to say that noone payed much attention when genma went running through the house screaming his head off about his dead son coming back to kill him.
"What's he screaming about now?" nabiki asked zero as he watched Genma run around the yard placing crudely drawn spiritual wards all over the place only to scream when he saw zero and do rounds again with his homemade wards.
Zero just shrugged.

"I don't know Nabiki he just looked at your tin man there and started shouting his son's name."

"Well Zero, you heard her. what's going on?" Nabiki inquired of the newest member of the household. the boy in question just shrugged.

"RANMA!" Genma shouted as he bolted upright in the futon he was sleeping in. Looking around at the guest room he was staying in at the Tendo's he sighed in relief and a bit of sadness. "It was only a dream... Only a dream..." laying back down, he heard the gentle sliding sound of the door opening.

-good news or bad news first zero?- "good" -you just recovered a memory- "and the bad news?" -you seem to have lost all concept of internal monolog- "wha?" -your speaking to me instead of thinking to me- "yeah so?" -Nabiki's beside you-
"So Zero... Who's X?" Nabiki asked causing him to freeze up like a deer caught in bright lights. He slowly turned to her, finally remembering she was in the room.
"Nabiki's besi.... oh kuso..."

"Nabiki?... What's going on X?... good... and the bad news... wha?... yeah so?" The boy in front of her said, seemingly oblivious to her sitting there. It was interesting; like he was holding a conversation with someone who wasn't there.
maybe he's crazy she thought to herself as he continued on his little conversation without care.
Normally Nabiki would have found a perfect blackmail candidate but for some reason she didn't really want to do anything that could drive the boy away from her. Where the hell did that come from?
"So Zero... Who's X?" She giggled a bit internally as he looked at her and stiffened.
"Nabiki's besi.... oh kuso..." he slumped his shoulders and she knew she had him. she didn't exactly know what she was gonna get or what she even wanted but she was going to get something.
something she wasn't supposed to get and that make it all the better to her.
"Well it started a while ago, kinda came with the whole light show you seen... just woke up one day and I was like this" he tried to smile but his nervous feelings held back any mirth that he might have had.

"I just need some sleep, just get this nonsense outta my head. after that, maybe I should just avoid him... take some time to get used to what's going on." Walking to his room Genma was looking to take a nap after a game of shogi with soun. looking in his room he saw a sight that made him wet his gi and drop to his knees begging not to be killed.
in the room Zero sat meditating 3 feet above the ground and glowing with a bright blue aura,
needless to say that noone payed much attention when genma went running through the house screaming his head off about his dead son coming back to kill him.
"What's he screaming about now?" nabiki asked zero as he watched Genma run around the yard placing crudely drawn spiritual wards all over the place only to scream when he saw zero and do rounds again with his homemade wards.
Zero just shrugged.
