End Game
Mid-21st Century: Earth.
The forces of Dr. Zorndyke were making their final push towards obliterating the UN's "Blue Sub" fleet. His horde of monsters and mutant vessels swarmed what remained of the fleet. At the same time, part of the fleet would spear-head straight into the heart of Zorndyke's territory, where they would use "Blue Sub Zero" to launch nuclear warheads in a final gambit to stop Zorndyke from permanently flooding the Earth.
"Blue Sub 6" would be "the point man" in this regard, and would be the chief sub to utilize 'Sub Zero.
"Captain Masaki!" Ensign Ranma Saotome said, as he turned her head from the monitors. "We're approaching the launch site!"
Captain Tenchi Masaki nodded grimly.
"Take care of that special project, Ensign."
"Yes, sir."
Ranma looks at her companions.
Nabiki Tendo was on Communications, monitoring the traffic between ships and enemy vessels. Nabiki looked at Ranma, and nodded. Ever since many of their friends and family were killed in the Great Flood, they only had each other, along with Akane and Ryouga, for solace. And thanks to Zorndyke's latest attack, Akane and a few of their crewmates were killed, there circle has been decreased. At any rate, Ranma was going to make Zorndyke pay for taken the love of his life away.
Chief Petty Officer Ryouga Hibiki was monitoring the prepping of the nuclear warheads, hoping that the humans would find another way to end this conflict with Zorndykes' forces. He kept to himself, since there was noting he could have done to help Akane and Akari.
Minako was navigations, while Hotoru tried to keep to keep Kasumi Tendo calm. Kasumi, who was experimented upon into becoming a psychic sensitive. And it was because of this that allowed her to help in the war efforts, as an early warning "device".
And Rei was operations, while Makoto was on weapons.
Dr. Ami Mizuno was the ship's medical and science officer.
Sasami Masaki, Tenchi's wife, was the ship's pilot. She gave up her royal status from the planet Jurai in order to be part of the human resistance.
"I'm on my way. Rei! Makoto! Follow me."
Then, she pressed the intercom.
"Heruka and Michiru, meet me in Andrew's chambers."
Ranma, Makoto and Rei run to the launch bay, where Michiru was getting ready. Ever since she was captured by Zorndyke a year ago, she had to deal with the mutation that was infected on her. Luckily, she still looked human.
Also there was Ensign Serena Tsukino and bad boy Darien Chiba. Both of them were getting Lt. Andrew Fuhurata, who was mutated into a shark-humanoid, ready for the trip. Unlike Michiru, Andrew was more inhuman-looking, thanks to Zorndyke.
"Is Lt. Fuhurata ready?" Ranma asks.
"He's ready," Serena replies. "I still don't see how you guys can help."
"We're the back up crew," Makoto says.
"And trust us," Heruka said, as she puts on her combat vest, and hops into her powered wetsuit. "We'll do fine."
"Yeah, whatever."
A few minutes later, two "grumpas" (i.e. "under-water fighters") were launched. Followed behind them were Ranma, Michiru and Andrew. Ranma used a powered "wetsuit" that allowed him to move underwater, so he could follow his friends on the mission. Then he spotted something.
"Mutant sharks!" Ranma said over the com-link. Then he looked ahead. "Mutant whales!"
The "mutant whales" were Musicas, armed with the ability to create concussion blasts under water.
Andrew used his connections with the mutant sharks to communicate with them, while Michiru "screamed", at the whales, since they were more dedicated to Zorndyke's cause…and could destroy Blue Sub 6. The scream created a shockwave that stunned the mutant whales.
"Come on!" Ranma said, as he and his team hurried to stop Zorndyke from initializing the permanent flooding of the Earth.
While Blue Sub Six had crashed Blue Sub Zero into the ice-shelf, in order to prep the launch of the nuclear warheads.
Once the insertion team was pass the blockade of musicas, they made it to Antarctica. When that happened…
Good luck…Darien…
Darien looked out of his cockpit. His friend had forgiven him for abandoning him, which allowed Zorndyke to mutate him.
When the team made it Antarctica, Ranma removed his wetsuit, just as the waves of the oceans triggered his curse. Michiru was to remain close to the shore, to warn them all in case of attack from "the Phantom Ship" and other sea mutants.
"Everyone okay?" Ranma-chan asked.
"Everything checks out," Heruka says, as she begins to unload her gear from the Grumpas. "We need to scout out as soon as-"
"No."
Everyone turns to see Darien lighting up a cigarette.
"So, what is YOUR plan?" Ranma-chan asked.
"We take a small delegation into Zorndyke's camp, and ask him to back down. What do we have to loose?"
Ranma-chan's jaw tensed.
"Fine. Heruka and Makoto- scout the perimeter. Serena, Darien and I will use 'diplomacy' to deal with Zorndyke.
"Right!"
As the three went into the forest, they came across a humanoid with squirrel-like features, who was reading a book.
"Halt!" Serena yelled, as she raised her rifle. Ranma-chan chose not reveal her weapon, which was hidden on the small of her back.
Darien placed his hand on Serena's weapon, and shook his head.
The squirrel-girl was startled, got up and ran deeper into the forest.
"That was interesting," Ranma said.
However, when they got into the clearing, they found themselves surrounded by more mutants.
"Ranma?" Serena asked.
"What do you think, Darien?" Ranma asked.
"I think we should cooperate," Darien says.
Ranma nodded.
The trio were escorted to a nondescript hut. Sitting there was Dr. Hans von Zorndyke. However, while they expected some megalomaniac, all they saw was a decrepit old man.
"Hello, children," the man says.
Meanwhile…
"FIVE MUSICAS ARE HEADING ARE ON THE WAY!" Kasumi cries out.
"Confirmed!" Nabiki yells. "We got in-coming from all over the place!"
"Minako, plot an evasive course!" Tenchi commands. "Sasami! Evasive maneuver!"
Blue Sub Six made a hairpin turn, just to avoid the strike. Musicas were mutant whales that could create devastating sonic attacks, that packs the punch or a torpedo.
"Captain!" Ryouga yelled out. "Blue Sub Zero is at fifty percent capacity!"
"Come on, guys," Tenchi said to himself, in reference to the strike force in Antarctica. "There's only so much time that I can give you…"
Back in Antarctica…
"Tell me, children," Zorndyke said, as he and the trio went to a power plant. At the moment, they were standing near a tree, with berries, that was shaped like a beautiful woman. Apparently, the rogue scientist had crossed human DNA with plant DNA. "What do you think would happen if you launch those warheads of you're here?"
Ranma, Serena and Darien looked at the power-plant, which was connected to rods that went deep into the Earth.
"Serena?"
Serena took out her mini-computer. It was set up by Ami as a means of creating a link between her and Ami's "Mercury Computer". She ran some quick calculation and gasped.
"Ranma, it's a set up," Serena says. "Those rods are designed to activate the polar shift once there is enough thermo heat on those ports. He's going to permanently flood the Earth!"
"Then, we have nothing to loose, then," Ranma-chan says, as she powers up one of her fists. "Dr. Zorndyke, for crimes against humanity, I am sentencing you to death-"
"Wait, Ranma!" Darien says, as he stood in the way.
"Darien, get out of the way."
"Guys, we can't continue this!" Serena says, as she stands between the two.
"How, typical," Zorndyke says. "Humanity won't change, no matter the circumstance."
Back on Blue Sub Six…
"Where are they?" Verg, the half-human/half-shark creature, demanded. He was the head of Zorndyke's forces, and was the captain of the Phantom Ship, which was a cross between a shark and a WWII Japanese battleship. He wanted to personally destroy Blue Sub Six for hindering its actions.
"Captain, we're getting faint echoes from below us," said a crab-like creature.
"Good," Verg says. "Take us down! I want to make sure that this sub will be destroyed!"
However, upon closer inspection…
"You're not Blue Sub Six!" Verg yells.
"No, I'm not," says Captain Aturu Moroboshi said, who was infamous in both his lecherousness and guile. He had used Blue Sub 9 to scrap the bottom of the ocean floor. "Look above!"
Verg turns his scanners toward the ice shelf, and saw that Blue Sub Six firing its weapons directly on top of the Phantom Ship.
"NOOOOOOOOOO-!"
Back in Antarctica…
Darien looks at Ranma.
"Zorndyke is right. We can't do this any more."
"He killed everyone I know! He must pay!"
"Ranma, he's right," Serena says.
Serena held Ranma-chan in her arms.
"We can't allow Zorndyke to win. He's no longer a threat."
"But…but…"
"I know. I loved Akane as my sister."
Ranma-chan cried silently, as Darien turns to Zorndyke.
"We won't let you win, Dr. Zorndyke. We're not playing your games of grief and madness."
"Then, you know."
"Yes. You wanted to make the world pay for the accident that took your wife and child away, since the UN was covering up those responsible for their deaths, all in the name of money."
Darien gives an outstretch hand.
"Please, join the human race."
Zorndyke looks at his hand, and takes it.
"I will try."
A short time later at the beach…
"Then…its over?" Heruka asks hesitantly, as she pointed her weapons at Zorndyke.
"Yes," Ranma says.
Just then, someone screamed.
All eyes turned to see Verg dragging Michiru out of the water. Michiru was unconscious, while Verg was bleeding badly.
Makoto raised her weapon, ready to shoot, since she didn't have time to transform into her Sailor Jupiter guise.
"You all will pay-!" Verg began.
"Son, stop," said a voice.
Verg turns to see Zorndyke, walking towards them with a cane, with Serena and Darien by his side.
"Papa!"
Verg, like a obedient puppy, runs up to Zorndyke.
"Papa! These people-"
"I know, son. We need to stop the fighting, and talk."
"Talk? I don't want to talk! I want to fight-"
Serena gently places her hands on Verg's wounds. She has magically healed people before, and thus will do so again.
"You…you help Verg?"
"Yes."
Verg sniffs Serena's hand, and nuzzle it.
"Verg…thank girl."
"You're…welcome."
Serena turns her attention to the ocean. Creating a lasting peace would take some time, but her patience was as vast as the ocean themselves.
Fin.
