Disclaimer: I do not own Ranma ½ or Kingdom Hearts. If I sound like a broken record its because I don't want to be sued. Remember, I have no money.
Author's Note: Welcome to the beginning of what should be a grand sequel! This story came to mind one day during the writing of the original. You see, I had too many ideas to use in the first so I had to make this to use the others. I hope you all enjoy.
A Different Side: Wild ½
The Beginning of an Adventure
Life could be so unfair at times, it shows you a grand promise and leaves you with broken dreams. A certain cursed martial artist with a directional problem used to curse out Life before he realized that it's not all bad. Sure, only Kami knows how far he was from home, but it didn't bother him like it should. Life and Lady Luck were being rather kind to him lately, so a little bad luck was okay. It would be a few months before he wandered off and found his way home, but this time he had people waiting for him, a certain Chinese Amazon and redheaded martial artist to be precise. His current scenery was interesting to say the least. He was in the middle of the residential district of a sprawling metropolis. The streets seemed to be well maintained, but the occasional crater belied the peaceful appearance. The youth was still happy all the same, he was still male and hopefully would remain that way, at least until the afternoon. He was wearing clothes for maximum comfort and durability. A black t-shirt reading "I'm running out of places to put the bodies" and black jeans with black steel toed boots. His backpack rested easily on his back and his eyes roamed warily. Something was seriously off, a vague feeling of unease in the air. His concerns were justified by a cry of "Saotome! Give me Shampoo! I love her far more then you!" The Lost Boy blinked as he recognized the voice. He sounded a bit different, but that was Mousse! Why was he yelling at Ranma and why did he sound so close? A shuriken struck the ground near his feet, causing him to jump. He spun around to see the blind martial artist, with his glasses perched on his head. He was posed dramatically, staring down purposefully at… the fire hydrant. Ryoga sweatdropped before the robed boy put his glasses down and shouted, "Your disguises do not fool me, Saotome!" and unleashed a barrage of shuriken and chains at the stunned boy. Only superior reflexes and combat knowledge kept him from being a pincushion!The irate boy didn't seem to notice that his target was a bit shorter and wearing different clothing then his usual target. The way he moved, however, made Mousse think he was correct, buy something was still off. Ryoga was thoroughly enjoying himself because it seemed that this guy actually had some real skills, even if he was only hurling weapons. The irate Amazon boy was growing more frustrated "Fight me like a man!" he shouted. The fanged martial artist came to a dead halt, his eyes narrowed to angry slits. "You ambush me and then have the nerve to tell me to fight like a man? If that's what you want…" just before he blurred and turned Mousse's world upside down. Without warning, he found himself face to face with the new martial artist on the block. "W-what?" he stammered in surprise. This was definitely not Ranma! That thought ran through his mind just before he impacted with the ground from a powerful blow to the chest. Ryoga sighed as he looked at the crumpled figure laying the street. "That wasn't a challenge. Where can I go to amuse myself?" he mused as he continued walking.
The day turned worse as she passed who the residents of this world call, the ladle lady. Her name is whispered in fear by Jusenkyo victims all over Nerima. She has the uncanny ability to strike any cursed individual without warning with cold water. The very irate Ryoga-chan continued on her trek for a decent fight. Suddenly she heard a voice, full of arrogance and false nobility proclaim, "Such a beauteous sight greets my eyes! I know I should not be swayed from my fierce tigress or my beautiful goddess, but I cannot resist! Come date with me!" the bokken wielding, hakama wearing, endangered scion of the Kuno legacy, launched himself with hearts in his eyes at the beautiful vision before him just before a loud CRACK sent him flying into LEO and out of Tokyo. "What is with these people? Are they all insane?" she silently raged as she got over her bought of righteous female indignation. Without even reaching the end of the block, she hears an insane laugh. "Oh brother, Kodachi." She groaned in annoyance. Sure enough, the insane gymnast appeared out of the blue in her skin-tight leotard. "Another hussy? You must be here for my dear Ranma-sama! As such, I must smite you, peasant!" she cried out in full voice. That pissed Ryoga off again "Listen. I am not interested in Ranma, I am already involved with someone else" 'Actually two' she thought privately "and I have no interest in branching out!" the Lost Girl declared. "Are you saying he is not worth your notice? For that I will take great pleasure in killing you!" the madwoman shouted before vaulting at her, hurling black rose petals and lashing with her ribbons, clearly intent on destroying her opponent. Without even thinking, Ryoga pulled out the Heart and Soul Keyblades. With one, she blew the petals away by spinning her Keyblade rapidly then with the other, catching the ribbons on her blade and shredding them. The gymnast laughed her annoying laugh again and drew spiked clubs. She began twirling and throwing them about in a display that stunned the young fighter. "I count at least twenty clubs. How does she keep them all in the air and attack with them?" she wondered idly as she began a dance of bob and weave, dodge and feint, keeping the insane girl going until she tired out. She seemed to be operating on manic energy and just wouldn't quit when a normal person should have. Ryoga-chan finally had enough as she drew back her Keyblades in a variation of Xiao's Leaping Stance and launched herself forward, bending the gymnast girl in half with the force of the strike and hurtling her down the street to land in an ungraceful heap. "What else can go wrong?" she thought as she went down another street.
After several hours, her journey came to a halt in front of a large structure that was entirely too familiar for comfort. A sign read, "If you wish to engage in brutal combat, enter through the rear door". The girl sweatdropped heavily as she recognized the place. "The Tendo Dojo. I wanted a challenge, so I guess I should use the back entrance this time." The neo-girl said with a smile.
End: The Beginning of an Adventure
Author's Notes: No, this is not a "Ryoga is invincible" fic, but after his experiences during the Kingdom Hearts adventure, you can see how he would be so powerful. The next chapter should be something to see as several key members of the story are introduced. The action will include: Genma vs Ryoga, Ranma vs Ryoga, and… Ryoga vs Ryoga? Definitely do not miss the next installment of "A Different Side: Wild ½"! Thank you to all the people who supported my first story. I promise this story will be more lighthearted then the previous. See you all soon! Ja ne!
