Aliens – Nerima Hive

Ranma ½ belongs To Rumiko Takahashi, Viz video and others. Alien and Predator belongs to a host of movie companies, etcetera. Any other works belong to their respective people too. In reality I just don't own any of this and I'm not getting paid either. So just sit back and enjoy the tale you're getting it for free.

Authors Notes: I just want to say that from what I have seen of the alien movies the creatures do have some modicum of intelligence, but it is offset by their animal natures. They are given instructions by their queen to bring in hosts, but they will also kill when angered or hungry. I also believe that they may bring recently dead human or other types back to the hive for the young to feed on as well. So the alien that ate P-Chan was having a light snack and planning on bringing the dying body of Akane back to the nest for all the little hatchlings te feast on.

Other than that you will see that there just won't be that many cast members coming back from this alive. The alien books and movies are dark and not meant for the regular light hearted comedy that we usually associate with Ranma ½ so the likelyhood of more than a few survivors is going to be very low. Read on with that idea in mind…

Chapter 5

The Alien Queen sat in her nest and knew that hunters were approaching. She sent a signal to her brood. Half would start making the nest and surrounding areas more defensible and the other half would continue to gather more hosts around the town as she laid eggs with a more rapidly growing parasite. Aliens started to pour out of the sewer grates and into Nerima in groups and singly each one on a mission to bring back hosts.

Kunou Tatewaki watched as black alien forms scurried onto his estate. Kunou jumped in front of the group and said, "Foul demons! It is obvious that the sorcerer Saotome has sent you with his dark magics. Very well prepare yourselves to face defeat." He pulled out his wooden blade and attacked.

Sadly enough for the Kendoist him his first strikes scored hits on one of the creatures, but in doing so he destroyed his blade. "Sasuki another boken!" He cried in panic, but his Ninja servant failed to comply. Kunou looked towards where his Ninja servant should be, and saw the fool trussed up in his own nunchaku and being carried away by the aliens. Realizing that he was unarmed against the creature Kunou screamed and ran. The creature followed after him until it was hit in the head with a spiked club. Acid sprayed from the death wound and a poisonously sweet voice called out "Brother dear! I do believe you were running like a scared little boy!"

Kunou puffed up and said, "Nay it was a tactical withdrawal against superior numbers. I intend to retrieve the family Katana and show the miscreants the true power of the Blue Thunder!"

Kodachi laughed her insane laugh and said, "Very well run off while I take care of the foolish interlopers here." Then she jumped down to the ground and attacked again and again with a manic frenzy. Kunou ran into the estate and as he entered he saw his father exiting with shears in hand. "Aloha brudda there be some nasty lobster out dere. Da big kahuna will take care o' them you see and then you be getting a haircut"

Kunou yelled out "Never!" to his departing father, but was sure the insane man had heard nothing from him. Then he proceeded to retrieve the Kunou family blade and some extra bokens and ran back outside.

When Kunou came out into the yard he witnessed his sister twirling around and enjoying herself as she attacked the creatures again and again. Two of their number seemed to be dead and his sister was almost playing with the rest. She called out to him as he ran onto the grounds and said, "Do be careful brother dear these creatures have already taken father dearest away!"

"Why did you not prevent that sister?"

The black haired gymnast looked back at Kunou with crazed eyes and said nothing. Then she continued her frenzied attacks against the alien creatures. Kunou was stunned by his sisters new level of insanity and pulled out his sword saying, "Very well I shall save our father as soon as I defeat these foul minions of the dark sorcerer."

The two scions of the Kunou family fought on killing one more of the creatures. But, they were finally herded back to back and surrounded by four of the creatures when the young Kunou boy said, "Sister dear this is my last blade. Flee while you can I shall cover your retreat."

His sister said, "Oh no, they have finally come from my dreams. They have come here where I can face them down and kill them. They are here in front of me and I will continue to kill them as long as I draw breath. I will die in glorious combat against them and their blood will wash away mother's death, then I will rest easy."

The creatures attacked again and Kunou felt his chest punctured by a tail. He saw his sister being grabbed by the other three and taken away as she screamed, "No! Wait! This is not what you are supposed to do! Kill me and let it end!" She screamed and screamed as she was taken away and the young kendoist could only cry. Then he saw the creature still impaling him on its tail and bringing him towards its mouth as the mouth descended he said, "Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste death but once. "

Four aliens crashed into the Tendo residence searching for hosts. One was crushed as a large panda landed on it and sprung away. It was stunned, but not dead as it stood up it saw its three brethren moving to attack the creature and started to join them when it was attacked again. This time it fell to the floor as it was tripped by the pole of a naginata being wielded by Soun Tendo. The creature stood up again and hissed in anger, and then it attacked. Soun was hard pressed, but he was determined not to allow the creature to hurt his little girls. He spun the weapon around and around, blocking attack after attack, but he was not fast enough. A clawed arm sliced through his abdomen and he knew that the end was near. With his last bit of strength he slammed his weapon home in the creature's skull. The two then fell to the floor in a death embrace.

Genma saw his friend's death and kicked his attacks into high gear. He slammed his panda claws into the heart of a creature and then yelped in extreme pain as acid ate away at his flesh. The pain was excruciating and only his many years of martial arts training were keeping him alive and fighting the two creatures that were left. He was being backed up the stairs by the creatures and knew that he was to only line of defense left for the young Tendo girls and his wife. The endorphins had kicked in, but he felt his body getting slow and lethargic he knew that shock was about to set in.

He had one chance left to save everyone. Kowing that he was too close to the creatures for the maneuver, but caring more for the saftey of those around him he raised his panda arms up and with his last bit of energy sent a vacuum blade into both of the monsters cutting them apart and spraying acidic blood all over him. The pain washed through his system, he screamed, and then suddenly it was all gone.

Nodoka was watching her husband confronting the alien creatures in his cursed form. She watched acid eat away his hand and then continued to watch in fear as he fought on. She held her katana tight in her hands wishing that she had done more than practice the decapitation stroke with it. Then her husband sent a vacuum blade into both of the monsters cutting them apart and spraying acidic blood all over him. The blood ate into his body and he yelped in extreme agony as it ate away at him. She knew then that he would die slowly in agonizing pain if she did not act. With skill and precision she stood up and pulled the Saotome blade from its sheath and then performed the one stroke that she had practiced sending her husband to a peaceful death.

Kasumi and Nabiki took the sobbing woman to their room and barricaded the door hoping that no more of the creatures would come. Their hope was left unfulfilled when mere minutes later a banging came on the door. The door exploded inward and one creature stood there staring at them. Without martial arts skills to protect them the three women were easily subdued and taken away to the Queen. As were many more Nerima residents that night.

Ukyou, Konatsu and the two predators stood at yet another collapsed section of the sewers. The larger of the two aliens with green holders in it hair made a frustrated grunt and then said something in its alien tongue as it gestured at the wall. The other smaller creature with red holders in its hair gestured back and said something else. Ukyou felt left out and said, "This is the third one so far. Don't you two have something that can get us through this?"

The creatures stared at her and she said, "You know like a bomb or cutters or soemthing?" She pantomimed an explosion saying "Boom!" and the two aliens just looked at her. Then the one with green ties in its hair said something and the other grunted in agreement. They walked towards the rubble and took off their shoulder mounted weapons. They placed them next to the rubble pile and then walked back towards a ladder. One of them gestured as they walked up the ladder and then he said mimicking Ukyou, "Boom!"

The Chef and Kunoichi quickly followed the predators up the ladder and out of the sewers. When they were out the ground below them was rocked with an explosion and then the two creatures simply jumped back into the sewer. Konatsu said, "I hope that was the right idea mistress."

Ukyou groaned and said, "Me too." Then the young martial artists followed the predators into the sewer and beyond the now cleared area.

Ranma trudged through the sewers in his female form continuing on without interruptions when she saw a collapsed section of the sewer with alien in front of it. The black creature was standing there in front of the simple barricade and clutching a furry form in its claws, slowly bringing it towards its mouth. Without thinking she ran forward and grabbed the furry form severing the creature's hands in the process. Then, she turned back towards the handless alien and sent a vacuum blade towards it obliterating the alien and sending its acidic blood all over the collapsed stonework. She watched a large hole form in the stone and then glanced down at the creature she had saved. It was only then that the fear clutched her and she dropped it and started to run. She only stopped when she realized the cat she had saved was Shampoo. She slowly crept back towards the unconscious cat trying to control her fear. She crept close enough and then scooped up a handful of water from the sewer tossed it onto Shampoo. The purple haired cat woke up and stared at Ranma then she meowed happily sending Ranma backing away in fear.

Shampoo damned Genma Saotome once again for Ranma's reaction to her cursed form. Then she sighed thinking once again that her husband was perfect in every way except for this one and wished yet again that her great grandmother had tossed her into a different pool. Ranma slowly brought himself closer to his Amazon fiancée and then he put his back pack down next to her saying, "Get in okay? If you're in here I won't see ya and hopefully won't be scared."

As Shampoo marched into the pack and waited as she was lifted in the air and the Saotome boy positioned the pack and then he said, "Why the heck didn'y you put on some water proof soap or somethin. Damn! Ryouga he didn't have any either. What the hell were we thinking!"

Both the Saotome girl and the amazon cat berated themselves for lack or preperation and for possibly getting their friends killed because of it. Ranma cursed aloud some more and then spoke to her back back with an agry voice saying, "Alright while we're going to find the Demon Queen I'll try and see if one of the pipes down here is hot water okay? Hopefully we can get you changed inta your normal form. If so, I got some extra armor in that pack you can wear." Shampoo stayed silent not wanting to scare Ranma. The red haired girl stomped off angirly accepting the Amazon's silence as acquiescence to her.
