Ranma vs Meushi Seinen

Chapter 5

Akane was amazed and astonished that Ranma became so worked up about Alin's problem. He was normally lazy when it comes to training but whatever Hakkai did; Ranma was twice energetic as ever. She grinned when she thought of something amusing. 'Now if only I could fix that attitude of his,' she thought.

Ranma was training vigorously, while waiting for Hakkai to come. Hakkai advised him to do some jumping and flipping. He did not know what for but he did as he was told.

Alin on the other hand had her mind set on two things, the kiss on the cheek that Hakkai gave and the impending arrival of Master Meushi. She bragged all night long yesterday about Hakkai to Akane, and it mad the blue haired girl annoyed. After persisting that everyone knew that Alin liked Hakkai, the wavy haired girl just shut up and slept. Now, Alin cannot wait for the young man to come.

'Where is he? I can't wait to see that sparkly green eyes of his, how mesmerizing…' she said in her heart, and almost fainted.


Hakkai had a strange day, he just came across a black pig wearing a yellow scarf, who squealed at him when he was walking to the Tendo's. He looked down at the pig, and had an intention of helping the pig, but unfortunately for the pig, who we all know is Ryoga, got knocked by a bicycle and flew into the large drain.

'Poor little piglet, hope he makes it,' he thought.

Then an awry thing happened, dark clouds began to gather on the southern part of Nerima. Hakkai noticed the weather with wide eyes. Realization hit him.

'He's here!'


The Tendos, Saotomes and Alin were oblivious to change in the weather. They noticed it when the two old men, stopped playing shogi and admired the sky.

"Ah, Saotome-kun, look at the sky and how beautiful today is," said Soun, crossing his arms and looking up at the sky.

"Yes you're quite right, my old friend," said Genma, who was plotting to cheat. 'This is my chance,' he thought slyly. "What!" he shouted suddenly, making Soun jumped.

Soun turned to his friend and asked anxiously. "What is it, Saotome-kun?" he asked.

Genma pointed at the sky. "There's a unidentified flying object shooting death rays all over the town and its coming straight at us," he lied and acted scared. You got to give him credit, he was good.

"What? Where?" Soun looked at the sky frantically, searching for whatever his friend has just told him.

'Now's my chance,' thought Genma. He quickly moved a few piece of shogi pieces, so to make him advantage over his long time bestfriend. Then he made it as though it was nothing. "Yeah, I might be mistaking…," he put his hand behind his head and grinned, "a kite for a U.F.O, sorry to scare you," he said but Soun was not listening. Genma looked at his friend and noticed Soun's attention was at something else. He followed his friend's glare and saw what could have been the weirdest thing he ever seen. He too glared at it.

"Saotome… do you see that," said Soun bitterly.

Genma nodded vehemently. "Danger ahead of us, do you think it could be?"

"I don't know," said Soun, still glaring at it. "But those kind of dark clouds don't mean a storm is coming-"

"Rather a great battle coming," finished Genma. "We better act fast," he added.

Soun nodded. "Let's go get our children and Ms. Alin and head to those big clouds… but first." Soun turned to the board and moved a shogi piece. "Checkmate!" he announced.

Genma jaw dropped. "What!"


Alin's happiness flared up when Hakkai came, but her face softened when she saw he was gasping and he looked kind of in a distress. She quickly rushed to him and asked dreadfully, "What happened, Hakkai-kun?"

Hakkai, who just ran thirteen blocks, had a hard time to talk and words coming out in pants. "Whe… where's…Ran…ma?"

"Ranma? He's in the dojo, why? What's wrong? Tell me, please," said Alin but before Hakkai could speak, the two old men emerged form the hallway.

"We saw the dark big dark clouds heading towards here from the south," they spoke in unison, and then something in Alin flared up.

She was mad, really mad. In one quick movement, she ran swiftly to the outside and jumped skillfully onto the house. She landed on the roof and she saw it.

'Damn him!'

She fled the Tendo's home and sped towards it.


Akane and Ranma came rushing into the front door, just right after Alin disappeared. The two of them did not know about the large black clouds in the southern part of Nerima. When they saw Hakkai panting and their families distress faces, they knew something was wrong.

"What's going on?" Akane asked.

"Yeah what's with the glum faces?" Ranma added.

Soun and Genma looked at their children with expectation. Then Hakkai explained the situation. Akane and Ranma were shocked but not because of the news but Alin rushing towards battle without help, mainly Ranma.

"Well?" Ranma asked.

"Well what, son?" Genma asked back.

"What are we waiting for? The enemy is already here and if we're late, Alin is going to marry a slimeball if we don't act fast," said Ranma and the adults agreed comfidently, raising their hands in agreement. Akane too agreed, nodding her head with her determined eyes. But Hakkai had other plans.

"I agree with you, Ranma… but the enemy is far better than any of us and with the state of training you are in, I don't think you can beat him without a secret weapon," Hakkai explained, but the last two words rang in each of their heads.

"Secret weapon!" they all gasped in unison.

"Yes, we need to take them and bring it to it, but with Alin making her way there now…" Hakkai voice fainted after that but Akane had a better idea.

"Daijouga, you and Ranma can go and get the secret weapon. Otosan, Saotome-san, and I will go and find Alin," she explained resolutely.

"Great idea, Akane, c'mon let's go," said Ranma.

"Let's go," the two adults said together and they ran off. Akane followed them shouting, "Hey wait for me!"

"Wait… I haven't-" Hakkai's voice was cut off by Ranma.

"Hakkai-san, we need to go now," said Ranma firmly. Hakkai just stood there, trying to say something but no words came out, instead he nodded dumbly and led Ranma to the location of the secret weapon.


Alin was jumping from roof to roof, this way she can reach it faster. Only a few blocks away and she reached an undeveloped land, where it resided.

"Oh is the sweet girl, hello there," said a voice that belonged to an old woman. Alin turned her head to the right and saw Grandma Cologne, Shampoo and… a duck?

"You two," said Alin, surprised to see them. "What are you-?" she was cut off by Shampoo.

"We're not here to help you, we know what those dark cloud means," said Shampoo arrogantly.

"Oh yeah, you guys are from amazon," said Alin. Grandma Cologne nodded. "But if you guys don't want to help then what are you guys doing?" she asked.

"To take care of an old agreement I had with Mistress Mueshi about a certain Master Meushi," Grandma told Alin, who turned shocked.

"Grandma Mueshi!"

(A/N: Mistress Mueshi and Master Meushi are not related.)


Alin, Grandma Cologne, Shampoo and duck, arrived at it.

"There's it… Parade of Dark Weather Performance," said Alin.

There stood under the terrifying clouds, large group of men and women gathering in the unused land. Stood in the middle in a throne like chair, was a man, pale liked an albino, his hair all white, not to mention he was slim and bulky in the tummy by the evident look of his tight clothes. He was wearing a sash, tied from his shoulder to his waist. He was wearing sort of like a ballerina costume except it was queer. Not to mention that odd hat standing like a party hat. He had a thin line of moustache, and one line of beard. They looked like they had been drawn.

"Parade of Dark Weather Performance, I never thought I seen them again. Groups of fine martial artist able to control the most horrifying weathers in the world to defeat and kill their enemies," explained Grandma.

"Volcanic eruption, howling tornadoes, thunderous storms, blinding sandstorms, massive earthquakes… what a crazy bunch of people. No wonder they should be disbanded," said Shampoo.

Then Alin continued form there. "But this crazy man revived them and now they taken over the tribe," said Alin with disgust. "I'm moving in," she declared.

"Whoa, look at here, missy," said Shampoo, grabbing Alin by her arm. Alin turned her head, looking puzzled at the Chinese girl. "If you go there, you're going to get your pretty butt kick no matter how strong you are," said Shampoo.

"But together, we can defeat them," said a voice from behind them. They turned around and saw Akane, her father and Genma, looking ready for battle.

"Akane!" said Alin, feeling surprised.

"We're together in this situation whether you like it or not," the blue haired girl said, and two adults yelled out in agreement.

Alin was touched by their supportiveness. She was almost closed to tears until she noticed two people were missing. "Where's Hakkai and Ranma?" she asked anxiously.

Soun explained to her what were they doing. "Oh, alright," Alin was disappointed but none the less, marched into battle. "Ready everyone?"

"Hai!"

(Ryoga is not here, remember the black pig Hakkai found)


A man, who wore a clown mask and clown attire, stood beside his master, who was bored. He spotted a group of six plus a duck marching with brave faces towards them. He leaned down to his master and whispered the news.

Master Meushi stood up abruptly and ordered, "Refrain everyone." The group of dirty, rough looking people stood silently listening to their leader with anticipation.

"My bride has arrived," he uttered with an evil satisfying grin, not to mention that disgusting drool coming out form the corner of his mouth.


"How much farther?" Ranma asked.

"Only five blocks left till we reach the warehouses, then we have to search the right store house," Hakkai replied.

They've been jumping on the roofs of Nerima for nearly thirty minutes now, and it almost made Ranma frustrated.

'Akane… hold on,' he pleaded in his mind.

'Alin-chan…please survive,' he too thought.


"Meushi you bastard!" Alin yelled at the top of her lungs. "How dare you come here uncalled for!" her rage that she'd been keeping in her since she left home, came out in a huge outburst that even surprised her friends.

'Wow, that little girl got something in her,' Soun thought astonishingly.

'She's worse than me,' Akane thought.

"And you brought your weather brawling clowns with you," Alin spat. Meushi's men suddenly fumed with anger, they muttered 'clowns' under their breath.

"Um… Alin-kun, don't you think you take it too far," said Akane, worried about the looks Meushi's men gave her and her friends.

"And you got the nerve to show up here after you couldn't catch up with me… tubby!"

Meushi's men gasped after Alin insulted the one word that Master Meushi hated the most. They turned their gaze to their master, who was silent the whole time and listening intently to Alin's squabble. He just smirked evilly.

"Tubby… you're nothing but a little girl who doesn't know when to quit running and accept her true being… an ugly bride of mine!" he spoke with malice, Alin throat hitched at being insulted. She almost wanted to cry when Grandma Cologne step up.

"Do not heed his words, my dear… we all know you're beautiful, might not be the most beautiful but in your heart lies true beauty," said Cologne, hopping on her stick as she made her way to Alin's side.

"Is that true?" she asked stuttering. Everyone nodded and Soun and Genma added.

"If you were my daughter, I've would call you himegimi all day," said Genma.

(himegimi princess)

"I would love to have a daughter like you," said Soun, though it came all wrong.

"Otosan, what's wrong with me and my sisters?" said Akane, a bit angry.

"Oh sorry, Akane," Soun apologized meekly.

"Enough with this meddling family lovey dovey stuff… men, go et my bride!" Meushi ordered all his men to move and attack, and they did.

There were a total of twenty five people of Meushi's fierce underlings. Alin looked and examined each one of them. She hopefully hoped that her friends can fight them. "Be careful of all them, the red vest guys can throw fireballs while the blue dress women can throw ice spikes at you, and please do be very careful of the mask clown and that big large guy."

"Wow, that guy is really huge!" said Shampoo astonished. Out of Meushi's men, there was a large guy that stood out the most, he was bear like size and had a Mohawk haircut plus and overall jeans, not to mention the tattoos on his arms.

"I believe they are more experienced fighter than any of us here by the way their clothes tell… leave those tow to me, you guys handle the others," said Grandma Cologne, analyzing the situation clearly.

"But obasan!" Shampoo protested.

"Now's not the time to talk, we must fight!" Grandma Cologne led the group of six plus a duck against twenty five roaring men.


To say the fight was one sided to Meushi's men was definitely wrong. As soon as three of Meushi's men approached the group, Soun and Genma jumped to the front and simply gave a few punch and kicks and all three of the red vests men were down.

"You girls take the women and we take on the men," said Soun.

"Hai," Akane and Shampoo yelled in unison, their backs to each other as they were surrounded by eight blue vests women. All eight ugly looking witches formed ice spikes from their hands, and threw them at the two girls.

"Akane jump!" Shampoo said. Akane nodded. They both jumped simultaneously, avoiding the ice spikes that crashed into each other and burst into vapors. Akane and Shampoo landed on the ground smoothly and they start fighting back the eight women. Mousse, who was in his duck form, help Shampoo by any way he can by scratching and flapping.

Grandma Cologne did not have much trouble as the clown and the overly large guy could not topple the hundred year old lady, who was still on her stick. The clown did a repeating rotating maneuver until he created a tornado, and sped towards Grandma, who simply did her few charms and tricks of martial arts, and stopped the tornado with her own version of tornado. The other guy, clapped both his hands and stomped the ground until the ground tore into two and sort created a huge waves of rocks coming out of the ground. Grandma simply stabbed her stick into the ground and the ground stopped moving and the rocks stopped coming.

"You better do something better than just popping out rocks," said Grandma sternly.

Alin watched the battle and was glad her friends could handle the battle with ease. She turned her gaze towards one man. Her eyes filled with intense rage as he responded with a smirk. Meushi gave her the look of challenge and she accepted it.

She left her friends and ran towards Meushi with her arms raised in a fist. "C'mon, stupid fat cow, it's round two!"

"Bring it on!" Meushi snarled with malice.


Ranma and Hakkai had found the secret weapon in an abandoned warehouse. They were fortunate enough to stumble on the third warehouse they found and they were lucky enough to see the secret weapon. When Ranma saw it, it was big and unexpected, plus he did not know it came in two.

"So do you think you can play it?" Hakkai asked earnestly.

"I have to play both of them!"

Hakkai laughed. "No… just one, the other one will be use by Master Meushi," Hakkai explained.

Ranma got it what Hakkai meant. He grinned and answered, "Sure I can play it, but… how do we carry it all the way to the south?"

Hakkai frowned at Ranma's question, and then an idea came to him. He smiled at Ranma. "How many people in Nerima do you reckon would help us?"


"YEAh! Take that and that!" Alin yelled, delivering a combination of swirling and roundhouse kicks to Meushi, who blocked all her attacks with a bit of hard work.

"So your skills have improved but not enough to match mine," leered Meushi. "Take this for a kick," he said, as he managed a forward kick in between Alin's kicking that sped like a rocket.

Alin flipped backwards and successfully manage to avoid the deadly move. She kneeled on the ground, recouping her energy and think of another strategy. 'If things go the way it is, then I'll surely lose even though my skills have improve,' she thought to herself.

"You are indeed powerful ugly girl, no one loves you since you left the village, and even your family cursed your very existence," Meushi said spat his lies, his hazel eyes gleamed with blood red.

Alin was flushed with anger. She knew it was a lie but she could not help believing it. Then she yelled, "Bakero, hurusai!"

She jumped into the air and flew swiftly downwards to Meushi. "Super Lightning Gazelle!" she yelled and plummeted downwards.

Meushi grinned. "Still using this stupid move," he mocked. He gathered a massive chi in his palms and shot it at Alin. "Thunder Boom!" A light ball jetted towards Alin.

Alin's eyes went wide when she saw the light ball. 'Oh no, I can't avoid it,' she thought to herself as she was hit right in the chest.

Akane was fighting mercilessly but halted when she noticed a blinding white light in the sky and explosion ensued. She was horrified when she saw Alin falling down and she was unconscious. "Alin!" she yelled.

Genma and Soun heard Akane's scream and saw the falling Alin. They quickly reacted.

"Saotome… hayaku!" Soun said, taking out a glass of water out of nowhere.

"Hai!" Genma responded, grabbing the glass form Soun's hand and poured the content over himself. His huge rapidly changed into the giant panda he was. "Ro ro," he said as he held up a sin says, 'I'll save you Ms. Alin.'

Alin almost crashed down to the ground if it was not for Genma jumped high in the air and grabbed her. They both landed to the ground, with Alin safely in the panda's arms.

By now, the numbers were dropping as Meushi's men went down to five. Almost all were wiped out. Akane and Shampoo, not to mention Mousse, did a great job dealing with the women. Soun and Genma could have defeated all the men but Alin was in danger so Soun was left dealing with three men, who he could not knock them out.

Grandma Cologne managed to only wear down her two opponents, and she was still game on. "It's that all… I met men older than you are and is ten times stronger than you," she mocked.

Meushi was satisfied that he defeated Alin once again by the looks of his odd evil grin, but his face turn disappointment when he saw his men were down. Looked like he was underestimating the strong people of Nerima.

"Get back here you numbskulls," he ordered angrily. All of his men, who were still up, return to his side. He smacked all of them by their heads.

"Now bring Alin to me!" he ordered.

Genma raised a sign that said, 'You're out of luck, she's nobody's bride.'

"If you want her you better pass us," said Akane as she and Shampoo stood firmly in front of Genma and Alin in their battle pose.

"Meushi, you got a nerve stealing a woman's position!" said Grandma Cologne, glaring intensely at Meushi.

"Oh, is the old lady of the amazon… too bad your old friend Mueshi-sama died, oh and she sends her hello to you too," Meushi cruelly joked.

"Why you!" Grandma Cologne was fuming. Mousse quacked at her tryin to stop her form acting recklessly.

Meushi sneered at the group. "I defeated Alin, now give her to me!"

"Never!" they all said in unison.

"Then I shall take her by force," said Meushi, moving towards the group. He created a lightning ball in his hands. "You all shall pay for disobedience!" growled the master, as he sent a lightning ball towards the group.

Luckily, a table flew in the direction of the lightning ball and it exploded when it collide with the table. Meushi was shocked to see his attack being erased.

"You don't have to be such a prude, slimeball, cockroach," said a familiar voice.

Akane knew the voice and turned around. Her eyes beamed with happiness when she saw her fiancé, Ranma and Alin friend, Hakkai standing side by side, with their eyes and faces shining with determination.

Meushi gritted his teeth in annoyance.
