The Immortal LaMoore Saga
Proudly Presents
Ranma ½Disclaimer: I don't own these characters. I'm just borrowing them for the time being. However, I do own Keanon LaMoore. Thank you for your time.
Chapter Three:
"How is knowing about my sister suppose to help?" asked Ranma to the godlike being, Keanon LaMoore.
"I'll explain it later." Keanon said. "Be at the dojo after school. Bring Nabiki with you. Mrs. Saotome, I also will need your help."
"I'll be glad to help." Nodoka said proudly.
"Then I'll see you all after school." Keanon said as he teleported Nodoka home, and himself away.
This is too good to be true!!!> thought Ranma happily.
Later That Day
"I'm home!" called out Ranma as he and Nabiki entered the household. They were pleased to see that Nodoka had already arrived.
Now, if only she didn't speak of the cure.
"Boy!" Genma yelled. "What's this your mother says of a cure? Why won't you share it with your poor old father?"
So much for that thought.> thought Ranma.
"Because you don't deserve one." A voice behind Genma said.
They all turned and saw that Keanon LaMoore had arrived.
"Hey Keanon. We all set to go?" asked Ranma curious.
"As ready as we ever will be." Keanon said as Genma relized what was going on.
"So you intend to cure my son." Genma said taking an attack stance. "I demand you cure me as well, or else!!!"
"Make me." Keanon said coldly. "I'll kick your butt like I did Happosai's."
"Leave my student to me Keanon." Happosai said as he appeared in the doorway. "You concentrate on Ranma."
"Eeeeep!" exclaimed Genma as he ran off with Happosai following.
"Shall we?" asked Keanon as he lead the three of them to the dojo. "I should mention one little thing."
"What?" asked Ranma.
"If I cast this spell wrong in the slightest way, you may die." Keanon said. "Luckily, I have a photographic memory. The problem is your rivals and fiancées interrupting me."
"So are you gonna shield the dojo?" asked Nabiki.
"Nope." Keanon said with a grin as he pointed to three figures standing in the yard. "I brought in some backup."
The three of them looked at these strange looking people Keanon brought in.
The first was a short red haired girl dressed in red and gold clothes with a black cape. The second was a very tall girl who looked to be a cross between a cheetah and a human. She wore a pair of shorts, sneakers, and a crop top that read 'Yeah, their real!!!'
The third member of the group was who caught Ranma's eye, because of the amount of chi he was throwing off. He was a little shorter than Nodoka, wore a dark blue muscle shirt and pants, with white boots and gloves. The other noticeable feature he had was his spikey black hair that stood right off his head.
"Allow me to intoduce my friends." Keanon said with a smile. "This is the Sorcerous Supreme herself, Lina Inverse."
"Hiya." The redhead said.
"The were-cheetah, and all around tough girl, Brittany Diggers."
"Hi there." The cheetah girl said.
"Finally, may I introduce you to the Prince of the Saiyin Race himself, Vegeta."
"Can we hurry this up?" demanded the prince. "I was in the middle of something when you came and got me!"
"How was I supposed to know you and Bulma were doing the nasty?" Keanon said in his defense. "That's a picture I didn't need to see. Although, I am curious why Bulma was wearing that S & M costume and you were tied to the bed."
"Tell anyone of that and you'll regret it!!!" said Vegeta angry.
"Like to see you try." Keanon said with a smirk. "You know I've always won our sparring matches."
"Feh. You get lucky." Vegeta responded.
"Whatever." Keanon said. "You all know what you have to do right?"
"Guard the dojo from intruders right." Lina answered.
"That's right." Keanon said. "However, no Dragon Slave, or major chi attacks."
"Got it." Lina said.
"Fine." Vegeta said.
With that said Keanon, Nabiki, Nodoka, and Ranma entered the dojo.
"So, I could really die?" asked Ranma.
"If cast wrong that could be the result." Keanon said. "But, I know this spell very well and it should work. All in all, the choice is entirely yours to make Ranma."
"Then let's do it!" said Ranma confidently. "I trust you man."
"Then let us begin!" replied Keanon.
Truly this is a strange day. thought Cologne as she watched the Tendo Dojo from a safe distance.
For the last half hour she'd been watching every single one of Ranma's fiancee's and rivals attempt to get into the dojo. However, each and every attempt was stopped by the three strangers guarding the dojo.
The first had been Shampoo and Ukyo who'd been frozen in her place by a spell cast by the red head. Then the Cheetah girl took out both the Kuno's in a heartbeat. But, the third one, without almost no effort what so ever defeated both Mousse and Ryoga. He even countered the Shi Shi Hokoudan.
What is going on in there?> thought Cologne as she extended her senses to the dojo.
What she felt scared her half to death.
Son-in-law wouldn't be crazy enough to cast that spell would he!?!> thought Cologne.
She was about to go down there to stop him when she felt another presence.
"So you've returned LaMoore." Colonge said with a chuckle. "This should be very interesting."
With that said, Cologne sat back down and continued to enjoy the show.
So this is the spell? thought Nabiki as Keanon began.
Once they'd entered he'd had Ranma lay down on the ground in the center of the dojo with his head resting in his mothers lap. Nabiki was to sit next to them with a bucket of cold water next to her. Keanon then placed what looked like a large diamond on Ranma's chest.
"We begin." Keanon said as he began the spell.
"Hiya Shoten Cory Yah!
Gote Erata Coldina Rakesha!
Soula Foula Goula Woula!
Whitey Sassie Tipsy Sunny Sandy!
Vachoranebrey!"
As Keanon chanted these words, Nodoka and Nabiki watched as two bright lights of blue and red filled the diamond. The light they threw off grew brighter and brighter until it lit up the entire dojo. Then Keanon stopped.
"There." Keanon said as he picked up the diamond. "Hard part is out of the way."
"What is that?" asked Nodoka looking at the diamond.
"Their souls." Keanon said.
"Whose souls?" asked Nabiki as he placed diamond in her hands.
"You'll know soon enough." Keanon said as he chanted another spell.
He chanted this one so fast that neither Nodoka nor Nabiki could make out the words. Then when he was done he splashed Ranma with the bucket. Only instead of turning him into a girl, both his male side, and female side lay next to each other.
"How'd you do that?" asked Nabiki.
"Water from the spring of drowned twins." Keanon said with a smirk. "With an enchantment by yours truly to leave him like this."
"You mean…" said Nodoka surprised.
"No hot water will ever turn him back." Keanon said. "Now for the final part."
Keanon took the diamond back and held it over the boy Ranma. Seconds later the blue light entered his body leaving the red behind. Then after the light entered Ranma, he awoke.
"Did it work?" He asked sleepily.
"You tell me." Keanon said as Ranma noticed his girl form asleep next to him.
"Holy crap." Ranma said amazed. "So, what do we do with her?"
"This." Keanon said as he held the diamond above the girl. "Come little one. It's time you returned to the family that loves and misses you."
With that said the red light exited the diamond and began entering the body of the girl Ranma while the others watched in amazement.
"What're they doing in there?" asked Akane as her, Soun, Genma, and Kasumi watched the dojo from a safe distance.
They would get closer, but the three guards place around it wouldn't let anyone try.
"Apparently they are curing Ranma of his curse." Genma said having lost Happosai an hour ago only to have Vegeta kick his ass for trying to get into the dojo. "Oh woe is me to have such an ungrateful son!"
After he said this, the dojo door opened and Keanon LaMoore stepped out. He was followed shortly afterwards, by Ranma, Nabiki and Nodoka.
"Looks like they were successful old friend." Soun said as they were suddenly all shocked to see Ranma's girl form step outside behind them.
"See you guys later." Keanon said as he snapped his fingers and the three bodyguards vanished.
"Man it's good to finally move around." Girl-Ranma said.
"I'll bet." Boy-Ranma said. "But, it's good to have you back."
"Indeed." Nodoka said as she began happily smiling.
"What is going on here?" asked Akane as they entered the Tendo household.
"A celebration sis." Nabiki said. "Meet Ranko, Ranma's twin sister."
"Please to finally meet all of you face to face." Ranko said as she politely bowed her head.
"Sister!?!" said Genma confused. "How? Where? Why?"
"I can explain that." Keanon said. "You see, as explained by Nodoka here, Ranma's twin sister died at birth. But, her soul remained inside of Ranma."
"So it's like two people sharing one body." Kasumi said.
"Exactly." Keanon said. "Everything Ranma has ever been taught, she learned it as well. So when I cured him I removed both their souls then returned them into the separate bodies."
"How could you do this?" asked Akane.
"Keanon knows a little magic sis." Nabiki said. "He was continuing his lessons when he left me two years ago. He can't tell anyone about it."
"However I have to now because of my helping Ranma and Ranko." Keanon said happy that Nabiki gave him a cover story. "But, luckily it worked."
"I was meaning to ask you. Why was that dangerous?" asked Nodoka.
"If the crystal had broke, the souls would have gone to the underworld." Keanon said.
"Well then, this calls for a celebration!" Soun said happily.
For the next two hours the Tendo household was a house of celebration. Food and drink were served without gusto. Although Genma ate and drank most of it. Akane and Ranko even formed a bond of friendship. Shampoo and Ukyo had also shown up and joined the party. Although they were doing it to try and get on Ranko's good side and get her to convince Ranma that he should marry them. Ranma throughout the whole thing spent his time looking at only one person in particular.
"Yen for your thoughts?" asked Keanon as he came up behind Ranma.
"I thought you could read minds?" Ranma responded.
"I can, but I choose not to unless I have to." Keanon said as he noticed where Ranma was looking. "She truly is a beautiful young girl isn't she?"
"Yeah." Ranma said as he realized what he'd just said. "Uhhh…I mean…"
"Ranma, I make it a habit of bringing couples together." Keanon said with a sarcastic smirk. "I think I can tell when a guy likes or loves a girl."
"Yeah, I guess you would." Ranma said shrugging in defeat. "She truly is beautiful. I just wish I knew why I didn't notice it before."
"That might have been Ranko's interference." Keanon explained. "Since her mind was influencing yours since your curse then its no wonder you weren't attracted to girls."
"I guess." Ranma said thinking about it.
"Don't you think you should tell her you love her?" said Keanon.
"Love!?! Who said I…" said Ranma as he stopped his rant. "Sorry, forgot who I was talking too. I'd tell her, but I don't know if she loves me."
"Ranma, in all the universes I've been too, do you know that I have found a power greater then my own, even as great as love itself." Keanon said. "Do you what that power is?"
"What?" Ranma asked curiously.
"Choices." Keanon responded.
"You're joking?" said Ranma skeptical.
"Nope." Keanon said as he had a sip from the glass of sake that Ranma hadn't noticed he was holding. "The choice is one of the greatest powers of free will. The power to choose to do something good, or even something evil. It all depends, on the chooser. Even all my power cannot affect that."
"Is a choice really that powerful?"
"Let me give you an example." Keanon said. "A young man is walking down the street. Suddenly he spots a car driven by a drunk driver about to hit an elderly gentleman crossing the street. He must choose to stand there and watch what happens, or risk his life to save the man. The choice to save him can cause many different outcomes. Example one: He pushes the man out of the way, but the car hits him killing or crippling him. Example two: He leaps, but they both get hit by the car and are killed instantly. Example three: He leaps forward and pushes them both to safety. Either of the two choices can affect the outcome of hundreds of lives. The only thing is, you don't care about the results. You just do what your heart tells you to do. Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you?"
"I think so." Ranma said as he started to walk in the direction of the girl he was looking at. "I gotta do something."
"Good luck." Keanon said with a smile.
"Not that you'll need it." Keanon said quietly when Ranma was far enough away.
To Be Continued…Author's Notes: Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, but work and life in general have kept me very busy. Plus, I have been working on a new story that I hope will amaze you all. It involves Ranma ½ and my favorite band of all time. The hottest band in the world.
Each chapter will be named after one of the bands songs. It will be a romance between two members of the Nerima Crew. Who are they, and who is my favourite band you ask?
To quote a famous Makozu, "That is a secret!"
I would tell, but I feel by keeping it a secret, I hope to build a little bit of suspense. But, I'm not leaving you empty handed. I left a clue to the band somewhere in these notes. See if you can guess. But if you do, don't tell anyone okay.
Well, I gotta go. I'll see you all soon when I send in the first chapter to my new love story. aka the aforementioned one. See ya then!
