************ Angelic Ranma *************
Ranma dropped out of the sky as a bluish hole sealed up behind him. Landing on the ground with ease, he looked around him and sighed as he noticed the coliseum like building behind him *I guess this is the place,.... damn Kurei. I guess I'm going to have to destroy him this time around.* His thoughts wandered back to the meeting Setsuna and Luna had once they met again as he smiled *Eh,... it's worth it to see their faces that bright once again*
He put his hands in his pockets and started into the building, until he was bumped into from the side by a large man with a mohawk for hair "Watch where your going!" The man looked at him and blinked for a second, before shaking his head and looking behind him "Hey Recca,.... look who it is"
A boy with large black hair, wearing a blue uniform walks up to the other boy before he grins "Hey Ranma,... what are you doing here?" His eyes widened before he took a combat stance "Your not,... working for,.. Kurei are you?" His eyes betrayed his ready stance as Ranma read into his thoughts.
Shaking his head, Ranma put his hands up "Before you begin,... I'm not who you think. First off I am not one of Kurei's lap dogs. I would die before that happened to me. Second, I'm here for the tournament,.... probably the same as you two" looking between Recca and the Mohawk man, Ranma sighed "Third of all,... who are you and how do you know me?"
Recca started to laugh out loud before he looked at Ranma's sincere face "Your telling me,... you don't know who we are?" Ranma nods slightly "I'm Recca Hanabishi, and this is Domon. We're in your homeroom class,... we saw each other just this morning!" Recca just shrugged it off before staring at Ranma "More importantly,... what are you doing here? It's going to get dangerous real soon"
Nodding more to himself than to Recca, he starts toward the building "Well then,... I guess I better get ready. See you guys inside" He just pushes past Domon with ease as he looks at all the people entering the building *So this is the tournament that Kurei put together,... I can see why too. These people are reeking of magical power.* Ranma just shakes his head and walks into the building and up to the front desk "I'm here to sign in,... for this pitiful tournament of Kurei's"
The man at the desk, a horrid looking hunchback, looked up at Ranma sharply as he growled "Who do you think you are, talking about Kurei-sama like that, BOY!" he stood up and slammed his hands down on the desk "Besides! You can't enter the tournament without a team"
Narrowing his eyes, Ranma leaned forward so that he was inches from the guys face "Listen well you little punk. I don't give a damn about your rules. The only reason I'm here is to kill Kurei for what he said"
The man was about to order Ranma killed when the phone rang, and he picked it up "Yes,....... yes,...... W-What,.... are you sure?,... Yes,... I understand" he then hung up the phone and glared at Ranma as he sat down "Kurei-sama vouches for your place in the tournament,..." Ranma started to smirk "But! Your team hasn't checked in yet,... so please wait your turn" He looked past Ranma and noticed six other people walking toward them as he smirked "Well,... speak of the devils. Ranma Saotome, here is your team for the tournament. Recca Hanabishi, Fuko Kirisawa, Domon Ishijima, Mikagami Tokiya, and their friends"
Ranma turned around and blinked as he was face to face with the two people from before "Hey,..... are you telling me you kids are in this tournament?"
Grinning like a idiot, Recca held up a hand as he walked toward Ranma "Hey your just as young as we are. Besides,... how did you find out about this place?" Once Ranma held up the note, Recca's whole demeanor changed as he growled slightly "Kurei,..."
Raising an eyebrow, Ranma chuckled "I see,... so you know of him as well. Well I was invited to this place personally by his bullshitness" Recca laughed at the name for Kurei before Ranma got serious "And he threatened my family" Growling in rage as his eyes flashed with barely contained power, causing Recca to take a step back, Ranma then sighed "So I have no choice to come here and try to stop him" he then looked at the group before him with a questioning gaze "Why are you here?"
Without hesitation, Recca put his arm around Yanagi as he smirked at Ranma "We're here to protect my Hime. Isn't that right, everyone?"
Fuko looked at Recca through the corner of his eye as she sighed slightly "That,... and we have an old score to settle with Kurei. That baka actually tried to kill us"
Chuckling, despite the withered glares he was getting from all but a black robed girl in back, Ranma glanced around him "Well,... I would love to continue this chat, but it seems like we're going to be attacked" Ranma quickly ducks under a punch that came from one of the other contestants. Ranma came back up with his knee, and slammed it into the other man's neck, sending him sprawling down to the ground "Ehhh,... is this how Kurei welcomes his guests? That does sound like him though" giving a shrug of the shoulders, Ranma looked around him and noticed that every person, with exception of the girls, were fighting off quite a few of the fighters *Hey,.... this might not be so bad. I bet they would make for excellent martial artists* He then glanced over at Fuko just as she waved her hand downward, blowing a blast of wind at the fighters and slamming them against one another *Wow,.. that was a more powerful version of Genma's forbidden technique*
The hunchback man stood up once again and pulled out a gun "Kurei-sama just needs her body. SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ALIVE!" He pulled the trigger as the gun sounded off, sending it's ammo toward Yanagi.
Through the corner of his eye, Ranma notices the panicked look on everyone's faces, and smirks *I guess it won't hurt to help them out,.... they are on my team and helping me get my daughter back* Fading from view, Ranma disappeared as he ran toward Yanagi. Coming to a sliding stop in front of Yanagi, Ranma's hand blurs as he plucks the bullet from the air and smirks at the man "Not so fast bud,... I take it you didn't learn from Kurei who I am" Ranma's eyes flashed dangerously as his aura burst into existence, surrounding both him and Yanagi. Smirking at the wide eyes around him, Ranma starts walking toward the man "I will not tolerate any under handed tactics used to kill me or my teammates" His aura disappeared as it filled his hands and started to glow "Now,... feel the power" He blurred forward and slammed the fist into the hunchback, blowing the aura through him and knocking the man down. Looking down at the man as he groveled for mercy, Ranma smirked "Not so cocky now are you?" The looks varied throughout the arena's lobby as Ranma's casual show of power made people nervous.
Blinking slightly before grinning like an idiot, Recca walked over to Ranma and bowed in front of him "Thank you, Ranma" He ended the bow and smirked "Looks like team Hokage has a powerful new ally"
Giving a slight shrug, Ranma started down the hall, following a girl which was showing him to his room *Kurei,.....* he growled slightly, which startled the lady in front of him. Giving an apologetic smile, he entered a nearby room. When he shut the door, a loud locking noise was heard as a steel door slammed shut from the other side.
The bookcase on the side of the room moved to the side, revealing a television as it turned on "Ranma,.... I'm glad you could make it. It seems like you've gotten more aggressive over the years"
Ranma turned toward the voice and shrugged as he sat on the couch "True, but it's fucking idiots like that make me more aggressive. Taking my daughter hostage wasn't exactly the smartest thing people have ever done you know"
Kurei grinned like a madman before bringing up a picture "Well then,.. if I was such a bad guy. Would I tell you who was going to kill her?" Seeing Ranma's eyes narrow toward him, Kurei smirked "There is a man on team Kukai that is filled with such perversion, that it puts your Happousai to shame. He knows how beautiful Fuko is, and will show it to the world." looking away for a second, Kurei nodded his head to a worker "Well then Ranma,... seems you don't care for your daughter as much as you claim. Your missing the match between Hokage and Kukai. Your precious Fuko is meeting her match against Fujimaru, goodbye" Kurei grinned before the television went black, leaving Ranma to fume. standing up, Ranma ran over to the window and went to jump out of it, when metal shudders slammed down and covered them. Ranma quickly turned and headed toward the door but was once again headed off as metal shudders slammed down in front of him. Ranma gave a slight smirk as he looked around at the room *impressive,... this kind of magic and metal would hold even the most powerful of demons down* his grin then went full blown as he pulled back his fist and slammed it into the metal, denting it *But,... it's nothing against me*
--- Meanwhile, in the Arena ---
Fuko was breathing hard as her opponent, Fujimaru, danced around her wind blasts like there was no tomorrow. As if to add insult to injury, he was effortlessly slashing away at her clothing, which was now almost nothing. Stepping to the side Fuko barely managed to avoid Fujimaru's steel claws. She gripped her shoulder in pain as blood splashed onto the ground *Shit,.... How the hell can I beat him?*
Fujimaru smirked at Fuko as he pulled his weapon back and started toward her *now's my chance to see this hot little girl in the nude!* He began to drool slightly as he neared Fuko.
Suddenly a side wall exploded outward in a crimson blast of pure energy as Ranma ran toward the ring "Fuko!" Seeing the confused faces in the ring, Ranma had the decency to blush "A-Ah,... s-sorry" he then rubbed the back of his head sheepishly as he walked back over to Recca and the group "So,... what did I miss?"
Staring at Ranma in shock, he blinked before looking back to the fight "Nothing much,.... Fuko's been getting her clothes ripped off by that pervert for over ten minutes now"
Looking in the corner of his eyes at his teammates, Ranma let out a small sigh "What happened to those two?"
Gaining a small evil smile, Recca turned and stared at Ranma "They routed for the wrong team. Apparently they both wanted to see Fuko in the buff" Then he turned toward the fight once more when he heard the crowds cheer.
Ranma turned and glared at the two unconscious boys that were bleeding from their noses "so,... what happened to them?"
Turning toward Ranma, Recca grinned once again "Come on Ranma,... you should know that I care for Fuko like a sister. We've always been together, the three of us" his grin then disappeared as he gained a glint in his eyes "So I had to punish them"
Chuckling, despite the fact that they were fighting for their lives, Ranma turned toward the battle once more and nodded "Thank you Recca,... you truly are a good friend" seeing Recca's confused face, Ranma looked at Fuko, who was currently dodging "Don't worry about it,.... you will understand after this match. After this I will be issuing a challenge against Kurei. If he doesn't accept, then this palace is dust"
A man appeared from the center of Ranma's shadow as he glared "I think not Saotome,... you won't get to Kurei without defeating me first" He became silent when Ranma turned around with glowing eyes "W-What the hell?"
Ranma took a step forward, and in one swift motion grabbed his neck, then lifted the man up in the air "So be it" He then round housed him in the chest, sending him flying through the air and clear through the nearby wall "Next" By this time the entire stadium had gone silent and turned toward Ranma. However in doing so, Fuko as well, turned toward Ranma and left herself open against Fujimaru. Seeing his opportunity, Fujimaru leapt at Fuko with his claws arced forward. However he was left hanging in the air when Ranma grabbed his ankle and glared at him "I don't think my daughter would appreciate you touching her body,.... nor would I" he blurred as he slammed a fist into Fujimaru's chin, sending him deep into the arena floor. The crowd just stared emotionlessly at Ranma before eruptions of cheers and screams filled the air. Ranma turned toward the giant screen TV and glared "Kurei,... I challenge you to a one on one fight to the finish!"
The screen blurred to life as a giant picture of Kurei's head popped up, scaring a few people "Very well done Ranma,... you have defeated Raijin and Fujimaru in a matter of seconds. I thought you would have been a weakling,... but I guess that's far from the truth now, huh?" Seeing Ranma's nod, Kurei's grin split his face "Very well,... then I agree to your one on one fight, under the condition that Fuko will be my wife if I win."
Ranma glared hatefully at Kurei and was about to decline when Fuko stepped forward "Fine! But it Ranma defeats you, you leave us all alone for the rest of our lives!"
Kurei thought for a minute and smirked "Fine,... but you realize, that our relationship won't be easy on you" Seeing Fuko's hesitant nod, Kurei grinned again "It's settled Ranma,... we will fight in the morning"
After the TV dimmed to nothing once more, Ranma turned and glared at Fuko "I didn't ask for your help you know!"
Blinking for a second, Fuko returned the glare with one of her own "Yeah well, I didn't hear him exactly jumping at your idea of a challenge! This is a small price to pay to end it all as fast as possible!"
Recca let out a sigh as he walked up to the side of Fuko, his face adorned with a frown "I have to agree with the both of you, however in this matter, I agree with Fuko the most. This is a dangerous place, and it would be best if we just end it and get out of here"
Turning his glare toward Recca, he growlde slightly "Did I ask for your fucking opinion?!?! This is my daughter we're talking about!"
Blinking yet again, Fuko stared at Ranma "That's another thing,... what's with this daughter crap? Your younger than I am, and I know who my parents are!" Her eyes teared up slightly before she glared at Ranma "My parents were good people before they passed away! I won't have you ruining their names!!!"
Seeing the tears in her eyes, Ranma let out a small sigh and nodded slightly "If that's the way you want it,... then I guess I can't change your mind. But don't think that for a moment I will leave your side until you acknowledge me as your father"
Snorting in disgust, Fuko turned her back to Ranma and started out of the ring "You have my thanks for protecting me, but it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't had caused such a disturbance in the first place. If your challenging Kurei for my sake. Then don't. You won't gain my respect by such a trivial thing"
Lowering his head, Ranma stared at the shreds of clothing that were loitering the stage, and in a low voice responded "It's not your respect I want,... it's your memories and your real self returned." He let out a sigh and smiled sadly before looking at Fuko's backside "Fine then,.... but I will let you know now that I'm not just doing this for you, or your team. I'm doing this so that bastard Kurei won't attack my family any longer"
