The Liz: Once again, we are brought here to witness my battle against writer's block, which I'd like to believe I'm winning. But no one can tell for sure until the very end of this chapter! Let's watch. That and the fact that I got banned from updating cause of my story People On the Internet. Apparently I broke a rule, don't know, whatever man.
Also, even though these characters are not real, I would like to apologize quite sincerely for what I'm about to make them do. So guys, 'specially Ranma, I'M SORRY! It's just so much fun to do this
By the way, italics mean singing when indicated.
Happosai was bored. He had already spent two hours in that stupid tree, eager to finish off the menace that had humiliated him. Two hours I could have spent doing more productive things, he thought. Like helping the ladies take down their laundry.
He looked towards the crimson sky and smirked. It's almost time, he thought. Suddenly, he caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye. It was a very nervous young man with a black pigtail and Chinese clothing. Oh ho, what do we have here? Happosai thought as he watched Ranma sit down on the bench.
Ranma was nervous, no doubt about that. As soon as he sat down, he got right back up and began pacing. The truth isn't that bad. I mean, I can always blame it on being possessed right? S'not like it hasn't happened before, he thought. He looked down at the piece of wood in his hands. Then again, when has she ever listened to that?
He sighed and sat down again. Maybe I should just put on the Mask, get this thing over with, and never use it again. I'll give it to Dr. Zileht and I can go back to how it was. The sun was sinking lower into the sky, giving the silent park a very serene feel.
Is that what you really want?
Shut up! he thought violently, pushing the voices to the back of his head. He looked down at the mask, the sun giving it an eerie green glow. So I guess I better put this thing on 'fore Akane...
"Ranma?" Akane said as she walked up to the bench. "What are you doing here?"
Ranma jumped. "A-akane?" The setting sun behind her body created an angelic aura around her, a big difference from her blue fighting spirit Ranma was used to seeing. "You look... nice," he said nervously.
Akane blushed lightly as she smiled. "Mind if I sit here?" she said, indicating the space beside Ranma.
Ranma shook his head stiffly. Akane sat down and placed her hands in her lap. "So what are you doing here?"
"I uh, I'm just here cause..." Ranma said, scratching the back of his head. She looks so cute. "Cause I wanted to make sure you guys got together alright."
"That's awfully nice of you," Akane said, her face turning red. "It's a nice night isn't it?" she said trying to break the silence.
"Uh yeah, really nice," Ranma said, trying to focus on anything but Akane.
Ryouga clenched his fist as he watched the awkward couple from the bushes. "That bastard, making a move on Akane like that! He will pay," he growled.
"Oh shut it," Ukyo said irritably. This doesn't prove anything about the Mask, she thought, her grip tightening on her giant spatula
"What's that you have in your hands?" Akane said looking at the wooden mask Ranma was nervously fiddling with.
Ranma froze. Time for my exit. "W-well I better get going eh Akane?" he said, getting up quickly from the bench. "Later!"
"Ranma, wait!" Akane yelled after Ranma who disappeared behind a large bush. Suddenly, she heard a clap of thunder as the wind picked up.
Kuno ran as fast as he could towards the middle of the park, bokken in hand. "I will avenge Akane Tendo's honor!" he yelled as he charged ahead. He caught sight of Akane up ahead, who was shielding her eyes. "What treachery is this? Why is the wonderful Akane shielding her beautiful eyahh!" A large shoe flew from behind a bush where a small tornado was occurring, hitting Kuno squarely on the head.
Nabiki smiled as she reached for the phone. Dialing the number, she brought the receiver to her ear. "Hello, Officer Roronora? It's Nabiki. I think I'll call in that favor you owe me."
Akane looked up once the wind had died down. "Ranma?" A figure flipped out from behind the bush, landing a foot from Akane. He propped himself against a tree, giving Akane a perfect view of his white jacket and pants with a red silk shirt, a contrast to his bald green head.
"Well hello there," Ranma said. "We meet again. Do you believe in destiny Miss Tendo?" he asked. "Do you believe that destiny has brought us together again, that it is written in the stars that we will be one? I do!"
With one swift movement, he took a shocked Akane in his arms and swept her off her feet. "Kiss me my dear, and together we will sail the seas of love, just you and I all alone with each other."
Akane quickly got over her shock and answered Ranma with a swift knee to the groin, a move she never liked using. Ranma immediately let go of her, his face screwed up in pain while Akane made her escape.
"She is rambunctious," Ranma said in a high pitched, pain filled voice. "I love it!" He zipped around to place himself in front of the fleeing Akane, smiling a cocky smile. "Why do you run? Are you afraid?" he said, advancing on the girl forcing her to step back.
"I'm not afraid," Akane said forcefully, although her eyes betrayed her. She moved back again when the seat of the bench knocked her below her knees. Akane fell backwards; about to fall on the bench when she felt two strong arms catch her. She looked up to see the Mask, who had a small smile on his face.
He brought Akane back to her feet slowly, his arms still wrapped around her waist. "Are you alright?" he asked. Akane nodded, a blush rising to her face. The man winked at her, slowly bringing his face closer to hers.
Wait a minute! Akane thought frantically. Come on Akane, get a hold of yourself! You can take this guy with one...
"RANMA!"
Ranma rolled his eyes and sighed. "Will you excuse me?" he said, picking up Akane and placing her on the bench. "This'll only take a second." He turned towards Ryouga who was standing up behind a bush, his battle aura dancing around him. "Can I help you?"
"You must die!!" Ryouga yelled charging towards Ranma, whipping out bandanas at the speed of light.
"I must know where do you get your hair accessories?" Ranma said, idly dodging the bandanas that were buzzing past him.
"Ranma! How could you?!" Ukyo screamed as she launched an attack from behind, her giant spatula raised above her head. Ranma stepped to the side, ducking his head to avoid another bandana.
"Hello there, what have we here?" he said, raising an eyebrow when he saw the depth of the crater Ukyo's spatula made.
Meanwhile, Kuno groggily raised his head to see two fairly recognizable people fighting the green headed cur while Akane sat dumbfounded on a nearby park bench. "AKANE!" Kuno yelled, sprinting to the girl, arms open wide. "I have come for you my..." Kuno's was bashed into the ground by Ryouga and Ukyo, both who had been aiming for Ranma.
"Stop getting in the way!" Ukyo yelled as she peeled her spatula off of Kuno.
"Where'd he go?" Ryouga yelled, looking around frantically. Ukyo looked up to see the Ranma running off towards the street.
"Ranma! You won't get away that easily!" Ukyo yelled, making sure to grab Ryouga's collar before sprinting off.
Akane sat on the bench silently, her head spinning. She looked down at the craters that Ukyo had made, then looked at one of the bandana's that had wedged itself in the bench two inches from her. They kept calling him...
"Sweeto!" Happosai exclaimed as he launched himself at Akane. Akane screamed from shock as the old lecher attached himself to her bosom, and then swatted him from her chest.
"Stupid old pervert!" she yelled as she got up and ran out of the park.
Happosai righted himself and watched the girl sprint out of his sight. "Well, that was nice," he said to himself. "Now I have the strength to defeat Ranma!" He hopped out of the park, cackling like a maniac.
From the shadows, a pair of glasses glinted in the moonlight.
Ranma spun down the street, laughing silently to himself. Chumps, he thought while slamming the gates to the park shut, taking several pieces of wood and chains to board up the doors. He sighed in relief as he turned around to face the entire Nermia police force, guns out and aimed. In the air he could see several SWAT team helicopters hovering in the air, search lights glaring in his face.
Ranma looked blankly at the police force and screamed his eyes and skull popping out of his skin.
"It's all over now Ranma," Nabiki said calmly on a megaphone. "Put your hands up!"
The stone wall behind Ranma suddenly burst open, revealing a very pissed off Ryouga who was followed by Uyko. "RANMA! YOU WILL DIE!"
Ranma looked frantically around for an escape route, but the police had him surrounded on all sides. Well there's more than one way to get out, he thought.
Nabiki recognized the smile on his face. It was the same one she used while making a deal. What's he up to?
Ranma boldly slid up closer to the large group of police. "Hit it!" Several loud clicks were heard all around as the search lights were moved to full blast and were positioned on Ranma. He seemed to be wearing his normal clothing, a set of Chinese clothing with one major difference. His red shirt was sparkly like something Prince would wear. And that scared Nabiki.
Music filled the air, a light techno tune that had all the police tapping their foot to. Ranma was bopping along to the music, a huge smile on his green face. Then he started to sing.
Everybody was Kung-Fu fighting, those jerks were fast as lightning, Ranma sang remarkably well. In fact it was a little bit frightn'ing. He performed a lightning quick snap kick in the air and several police gasped. Ranma smiled before continuing. They fought with expert timing.
Ukyo looked on suspiciously, when she noticed Ryouga bobbing his head to the music. Idiot, she thought as she subconsciously tapped her foot.
There was funky China men, in funky China town. They were trapping when up, Ranma sang as he slid up to the front line a few inches from a cops face. The man's eyes went big and his grip tightened on the gun trigger. They were trapping when down, Ranma smiled as he quickly slid back from the police man.
It's an ancient Chinese Art, and everybody knew their part. Ranma flipped in the air to land in front of Ryouga. Ryouga eyes grew wide from shock. For my friend, ain't you a stiff, Ranma sang as Ryouga recovered from his shock, and threw a punch which Ranma easily blocked. Then I'm kicking from the hip. Ranma swung out his leg to aim at Ryouga's head, but Ryouga blocked it.
Everybody was Kung-Fu fighting, those kids were fast as lightning. Nabiki watched as Ryouga and Ranma spared into the cleared off area in front of the police when she realized something frightening. Ryouga was singing and very well for that matter.
In fact it was a little bit frightn'ing; Ryouga's baritone voice rang out as he playfully threw another punch at Ranma.
They fought with expert timing, Ranma finished, throwing another kick at Ryouga.
Nabiki was floored. There is just no way that's Ryouga singing, she thought as she watched the "sparring" match through a video camera screen. Since when did Ryouga take fighting Ranma so lightly?
Meanwhile, some police men had formed a chorus line and were swaying back and forth singing "Oh-oh-oh-ohhh! Oh-oh-oh-ohhh!"
Nabiki grinned as she widened her camera shot. Vegas, here we come! she thought. Suddenly a strong female voice joined the group.
There was funky Billie Jim and little Sammy John, Ukyo sang as she strutted out, her long hair swinging behind her. He said, here comes the big boss, let's get it on! She swung her battle spatula in the air like a baton.
We took a bow, and made a stand, started swinging with the hand, Ryouga sang as he and Ranma matched each other's moves as though it was choreographed.
A sudden swift motion made me stiff, Ranma sang as Ukyo brought down her spatula between him and Ryouga, breaking off their fight. Now we're in for a brand new trip!
The music changed as Ranma slid to the front of the police chorus line. Nabiki filmed eagerly as he tipped his head as he moon-walked to the left and the right, then dropped to the ground in a split, popping back up and doing it again. He did a couple back springs out of the view of the camera. Akane's gonna love this. Not to mention the DDR Company, thought Nabiki.
Nabiki didn't notice though that Akane was now climbing over the wall. She hoisted herself onto the top of the wall and looked out below her to see a musical number led by the man with the green mask. "What the hell?!"
Everybody was Kung-Fu fighting! Everyone was singing now, Ranma, Ukyo, and Ryouga in front. Those kids were fast as lightning! the police force sang as Ranma and Ryouga strode forward, their wide legs overlapping as they walked.
In fact it was a little bit frightn'ing! Ranma and Ryouga sang together. Ukyo flipped over them gracefully and landed with her battle spatula out. But they did it with expert timing, Ukyo sang in her treble voice. With a "Hiyah!" she sliced her spatula through the air with a swish.
Only Ranma noticed a small blur fly under Ukyo's legs and into the crowd of police men. Time for my exit, he thought as he slid out of the crowd, unaware that Nabiki's camera was still watching him.
Oh-oh-oh-ohhh! Oh-oh-oh-ohhh! Oh-oh-oh-ohhh! Oh-oh-oh-ohhh!
"OH!" A female officer yelled as she felt something latch onto her chest.
"I like a woman in uniform," Happosai cackled. The old voice snapped everyone out of their state of bliss and soon there was a huge mass of confused police men and women along with several cries of "RANMA!! YOU WILL DIE!"
Ranma giggled as he slipped into a nearby ally way. "Better get rid of this while the old goats got them busy," he said as he reached behind his head. He grasped the edge of the mask and with a great deal of force pried the mask off his face. Almost there, Ranma thought as he felt the last of his skin break free from the wooden mask. Sighing, he turned to take his leave.
"Ranma!" a cackled voice exclaimed from behind him. Ranma felt a sudden wash of cold water over him, changing him immediately to a she. Before Ranma could react, Happosai attached himself to Ranma, nuzzling his nose in her chest. Ranma fell back from the force of Happosai's launch, the mask flying out of her hands.
Kuno ran through the park towards the uproar. It must be that green faced scur! he thought as he burst through the pile of rubble Ryouga had made earlier. "Prepare to face Kuno, the Blue Thunder!" He charged into the crowd at full speed, waving his bokken wildly when something hard and wooden hit him in the face, molding to his features.
"Get off me!" Ranma yelled as she punched Happosai to the ground. Suddenly, she saw a huge black cloud gathering over a certain kendo student. Kuno had dropped his bokken and was now clutching his face in agony. "Oh shit."
The Liz: I DID IT! I got rid of my writer's block! YES YES YES YES YES! No if only I could adjust my time schedule... I've started school already and I also joined the swim team so that kinda eats up my time.
As for the story, I don't own the lyrics to "Kung-Fu Fighting." And yes, those were the lyrics. I was twitching the entire time I wrote this man. Anywhos, please review, I'm really not sure on how this chapter turned out. By the by, I've got a whole scene done in the next chapter and since my writer's block is gone...
Next Chapter: A sudden shift of power and Akane looks really nice in memory metal.
