Disclaimer:It's like math...I do it every time yet it never gets any easier. In fact, I seem to be failing at both! XDXDXDXDXDXD I don't own Ranma or Teen Titans. Sigh...
Ranma was frozen in fear. He stood there, waiting for the hit to come from Akane and turned around to see Akane, eyes burning red with rage and aura a sickly blue color, bringing down the largest mallet he had ever seen in his entire life. A huge crack could be heard at the connect and all four Titans present winced.
Cyborg said, "Dude..."
Beast Boy finished with, "...harsh."
"Ouch." Robin said, stating the obvious.
Raven looked from her stunned boyfriend to the enraged Akane and her eyes turned bright red. Causing all to back away.
She glowered down at the Nerima crew and said, "You better tell us who the hell you are and why you just hit my boyfriend over the head with that ridiculously huge mallet."
Akane glanced at her surprised and said, "Boyfriend?"
Raven nodded as her eyes turned white, and then back to violet and she settled back onto the ground.
Ukyo and Shampoo stared at Raven as if she was crazy and they both said at the same time, "BOYFRIEND?"
Ukyo said, "Uh uh sugar, Ranma honey's mine. He was promised to me and I plan him to uphold that promise."
Shampoo nodded and said, "Yes, Ranma is Shampoo's legal husband! He must marry Shampoo."
Mousse and Konatsu were pretty much in the background, ignoring the infatuitous nature of their crushes and were standing back and wondering why this was taking so long. Akane was staring at Raven with hate filled eyes and was doing her usual mumblings of how much of a perevert Ranma was and how stupid it was for her to come here.
Raven pretty much ignored the ramblings of Ranma's fiancees and looked over to Ranma to see he was in shock from the hit. She turned around to see all of the crew staring at her wonderingly except for one, very fat, very nervous bald man.
Raven glanced at him and said in her most venemous voice possible, "Hello Genma, it's been a while."
Genma jumped and stuttered out, "O-Oh yes, he-hello Raven. N-Nice t-to see you a-again, BYE!"
He went sprinting off from the direction he had been walking from and was suddenly stopped as a huge, black hand grabbed him in a supernaturally tight hand hold. He writhed and struggled in the hand until he seemingly dissapeared from the hand like Ranma had and left everyone wondering where he went. Everyone except Ranma of course.
Ranma had finally snapped out of his stupor and the black that had shaded his eyes before seemed like a shadow compared to the well that seemed to be taking over his soul. A deep growl emenated from Ranma's throat as his hand shot out and grabbed an invisible Genma by his throat, causing him to return to the visible spectrum and gasp in surprise.
Ranma turned to look at Genma with his deep, black eyes and said in barely repressed anger, "Hey 'Pop's'. how's it goin?"
Everyone except Raven stared at him just a little fearfully, wondering what was going to happen. Raven stared on emotionlessly as Ranma put pressure on his father's throat and continued to strangle him.
The Nerima wrecking crew stared shocked at the display before them and Soun stuterred out, "R-Ranma, w-what are you doing?"
Ranma's grip tightened and he said, "What's it look like Tendo?"
Robin stepped forward and said, "Ranma, put Genma down, he isn't worth killing."
Ranma glared at angrily at his friend and said quietly so only Robin could hear, "Robin, this guy sent me to hell for seventy years to feed his own goddamned stomach, I have every right to kill the fat bastard."
Robin processed the info that he had been searching so errantly for and stared at him for a moment. Taking a step back and pulled out his Bo staff he said, "Don't kill him Ranma, just rough him up. A lot."
Rama smiled evilly and said, "Can do."
He turned to Genma whose eyes were rolling into the back of his head as the oxygen was cut off to his brain. Ranma grunted disgustedly at the fat martial artist and let go of his throat while simultaneously kicking him into a nearby building, creating a crater on impact.
He picked up his father from the rubble and said, "Let's go somewhere quiet Pop's..."
He leapt off into the distance with a struggling fat martial artist looking like he was about to piss his pants from fear. As the two became a spot in the distance, the two teams looked at each other, trying to gage the others abilities.
Kuno steppued up front ahead of the rest of the crew and said, "You are allies of the treacherous sorcerer Saotome?"
All the Titans shared a glance at the remark and Cyborg scratched his head as he said, "Uh, I guess."
"Then you shall fall to my blade for consorting with the foul demon who hath put the beautacious Akane Tendo and pig tailed goddess under his spell!"
The team nervously glanced at each other and Robin said, "Uh, I really don't know who your talking about, but-"
"SILENCE YOU CR-"
He was cut off by Raven covering his mouth in a black aura.
Everyone stared at her funnily and she shrugged, saying, "I was getting tired of his butchery of poetry and waste of our time."
For once, the Titans couldn't really fault her there, so instead they turned their attentions back to the Wrecking Crew who was now charging at a stampede pace. Cyborg, Robin and Beast Boy's jaws all hit the floor as they saw the human herd running towards them minus one hot brown headed girl in the back who was just shaking her head and prodding a now blue and unconcious Kuno, trying to wake him up.
Robin broke from his stupor long enough to say, "TITANS GO!" and fight for his life for the first time in a long time.
Meanwhile at Titans Tower...

"So friend Ryoga, you think that Ranma is the cause of all your problems and you hunt him tirelessly because of it?"
Ryoga nodded and said, "Yep, that's pretty much it."
Starfire looked at him, innocently confused and said, "But friend, how was it Ranma's fault that you have a bad sense of direction?"
Ryoga said, "Well, um-"
Starfire cut him off and added, "And how is it his fault that you arrived four days late to a challenge you issued and didn't arrive on time for?"
He was beginning to get a little flustered and was about to stutter out another lame excuse when Starfire continued with, "Oh, and how is it his fault that he is engaged to Akane when he did not even want to be?"
His brain was starting to overload at the truth of her questioning and he was trying to stutter something when she finished him off for good.
"But friend," she started, "you truthfully cannot blame anyone except yourself for all of your problems, since it seems that you are the cause of all your woes."
It was finally too much, he collapsed and his brain shutdown and rebooted. The truth hurts friends, and poor Ryoga learned that the hard way.
Meanwhile back in the streets...
-0-0-
The battle was well underway and the Titans were losing badly when a bright flash lit up the direction Ranma had gone in and a broken and bloodied Genma flew through the air and landed back where the battle was taking place. Everyone didn't notice though, since they were too busy trying to live themselves than worry about an old fat panda. What can I say, that's life.
BUT, that's not the point. The point is is that the Nerima wrecking was beating the Titans badly and they needed help; fast. Robin struck out with twin batarang swords as Shampoo and Kuno struck at him with their bonboris and bokken. Robin dodged and weaved left and right, parrying and flying over their blows as they slolwly forced him back, making the boy wonder ask himself how Ranma could put up with this crap everyday. Grunting, Robin deftly flipped over the heads of his opponents and swept the girl's feet out from under her. Kuno jumped and did just what the boy wonder wanted as he brought his other free sword down on Shampoo's bonbori, shattering them and surprising the girl long enough so that he could hit a pressure point on her neck forcing her to sleep. With a surprised sigh, she fell into a deep sleep that insured the boy wonder he was safe at the moment, or so he thought. He had completely forgotten about Kuno as he dealt with the girl and paid for the mistake as Kuno brought his bokken down and knocked one of the batarang swords from his grasp. Robin turned around just in time to block and parry the swordsman's attacks as he held a fast and furious battle with the kendoist from hell.
On the other side of the street...
Cyborg and Beast Boy teamed up to defend against the four attacking them, Ukyo, Mousse, Cologne and a shrimpy old man called Happosai. Having the four to battle against the two was more than enough to keep them busy and in the end, the two became cornered and back to back in front of a wall. Cyborg had both his arms turned into sonic annons and was breathing heavily, just as heavily as Beast Boy who was tiring after having to change so many shapes in one outing.
Mousse, who had both hands in his robes said, "Why don't you just give up and make this easier on us?"
Cyborg smirked and said, "Ya know, I was about to say the same thing too."
Mousse said, "Look, why do you like Saotome so much? Can't you see that he is a womanizer and a coward?"
Cyborg frowned and said scathingly, "Can you see at all with those huge bottle caps for lenses four eyes?"
Mousse growled and started the battle all over again, him and Ukyo striking at Cyborg and hitting one of his cannons head on with a spear and spatula as Beast Boy dealed with the two old prunes.
On the fipside of the the other side of the street...
Raven had to deal with Kodachi, Konatsu, Soun and Akane. I bet you can easily tell how that one turned out right? Raven sat in a Lotus position as the four surrounded her and were about to start their attack on her when all of a sudden, her eyes glowed a bright white and all four were encased in a black net and held to the ground as Raven waltzed over with a smirk on her face as the four struggled.
Akane was the first to glare up at her angrily and say, "Who the hell are you?"
Raven smirked and said, "You know, I could ask the same about you."
Akane huffed and said, "Well you couldn't be much of anyone if your with that pervert Ranma."
Raven's eyes glowed dangerously red as she heard that and said, "Who the hell are you to call him a pervert Tendo."
Akane being Akane, didn't notice that Raven had used her last name and said, "I'm his fiancee you hussie, that's what gives me the right."
Raven just smiled at her evilly and said, "Oh? Is that why he left and came to the Titans? To me? Because he was married off to you?"
Akane's aura turned dark red as she summoned a mallet from out of no where and broke straight through the net and almost hit Raven with the mallet. Raven barely dodged as Akane came at her with more furious swings and swipes aiming to take her head off.
Raven looked at the girl in annoyance and said scathingly, "Geez, no wonder he left you. Between the cooking, the mallet and all the garbage you threw at him, it's amazing he stayed with you as long as he did."
Akane just howled in rage and hit Raven with the mallet, sending her flying into a wall and groaning as she slid to the ground. When the world stopped spinning, she shakily got up and glared daggers at the triumphantly smiling Akane.
She growled as she grew two more red eyes and said., "No more mister nice guy."
Then Akane had to fight for her life as she faced off against the half demon from hell...literally...
-0-0-
Ranma watched all of this from afar, after having kicked his father back to the battle ground, he had been returning to see the Titans, excluding Raven in desperate need of help. He smirked evilly as he cracked his knuckles and began to walk towards the battle field, mind set on kicking ass and taking names.
-0-0-
Robin was barely dodging the crazed kendoists swings as he dodged left, right, left right, down, up, to the left and almost got caught when he was slammed into a wall that the kendoist had knocked him into.
Kuno said, "Give up hethen and I will make your death quick and painless."
Eye twitching, Robin said, "Will...you...please... SHUT UP ALREADY! THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME YOU"VE SAID THAT IN THE LAST TEN MINUTES! WHEN WILL IT GET THROUGH THAT THICK SKULL OF YOURS I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP?"
Kuno smiled and said, "Fine, it shall be your way then."
And once again, Robin was set on dodging and trying to hit Kendoist.
-0-0-
Beast Boy and Cyborg were having the same problem as Robin, except Beast Boy was panting like a dog...without even being in the form.
He said, "Dude! What is up with these old people? Aren't they supposed to be in a home or something?"
Cyborg said, "Stop complainin' BB! I got my hands full with these nut cases."
Ukyo and and Mousse frowned and Mousse said, "Oh really 'Cyborg'? I'm not the tin can for a 'man' who can't even hit a target."
Cyborg's eye glowed bright red at the insult and he shot an unsuspecting and cackling Mousse right in the head with a well place sonic blast. He flew back into a wall and hit his head on the concrete, knocking him out instantly.
Cyborg then looked over to Ukyo who said, "Hey! Why the hell did you-"
She was so shocked at seeing Mousse taken out that she didn't notice the blue beam rocketing towards her. She followed suit and lay slumped next to Mousse who was definitely not getting up anytime soon.
Beast Boy looked shocked at his friend and said, "C-Cy, what are you doing man?"
He just looked at Beast Boy impassively and said, "Finishing this."
He rasied his cannon and pointed it at the shocked elders and fired, barely missing Cologne.
Happosai looked at her and saw that she was now sizing up the boy and preparing to go all out.
Grinning Happosai said, "You ready Cologne?"
She smirked and said, "Don't you know it Happi."

Ranma walked onto the street with the deep black holes for eyes letting him see and drink in the savageness of the scene before him. Smirking and with an evil cackle he conyinued on his way to end the fight.
-0-0-
Happosai had begun to take apart the metal teen piece by piece while Cologne was beating the snot out of Beast Boy, who was getting tossed around like money in a dryer.
Getting up and groaning Beast Boy said, "Woah, that old hag packs a punch."
He opened his tired and unfocused eyes to see a staff hurtling straight for his head.
His eyes widened in surprise and before he could try to change or even utter a single word, he was knocked back into the wall and slid to the ground, not getting up.
Cologne grinned and Cyborg said, "Yo B, get up man!"
He looked back to see some blood pooling near his friend and he said uncertainly, "B...?"
Anger rose in his and as Happosai came in to try and dislocate his arm from his body, he screamed, "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME YOU OLD BASTARD!"
He knocked an unsuspecting Happosai back and the old man flipped and landed perfectly on the ground.
He growled and said, "You'll pay for that you insolent whelp!"
Happosai was about to jump when a familiar figure garbed in chinese clothing came into the picture.
Happosai's face instantly lit up and he said, "Ranma, I've found you!"
He pulled out a bra and one of his mysteriously conjured water bottles and said, "Now, listen to your master and put on this pretty."
Happosai threw the water at Ranma who everyone saw change into his girl form and then...back?
That's right, Ranma's aura had heated the water to such an extent that it had actually turned into hot enough water to change him back into a boy.
Before Happosai could even gasp, Ranm'a hand shot forward and pulled the old lecher up by his head, saying, "Miss me, ya old pervert?"
He chuckled evilly and Happosai struggled in Ranma's grip, doing everything in his power to try and break free.
Ranma smirked and Happosai said, "R-Ranma, put me down this instant! Respect your master!"
Ranma growled and said, "Listen old man, I never accepted you as my master and I never will." He smiled and said, "Now, let me show you what real power is old man."
Happosai's eyes widened as he felt Ranma's hand charge with energy and before he could utter a word, a black ball of energy hit him point blank on his head and sent him into a nearby building, destroying the wall and the lower levels of the building.
Everyone gasped and all fights were put on hold as everyone eyed Ranma warily.
Kuno, being Kuno, said,"FINALLY! The demon has shown himself for what he truly is. Now Die Saotome, you retch!"
Kuno charged and before he could run ten steps, a similar black ball blew him into the wall that Ukyo and Mousse were KO'd at and he hit it with a THUMP, laying just as still as the two next to him.
Raven said, with wide eyes, R-Ranma what's-"
Ranma looked over to her to see Akane about to hit an unsuspecting Raven in the head with a mallet while her back was turned. Pathetic.
Ranma shot forward and pushed Raven out of the way and took the blow as the mallet broke and splintered on his back. He turned around to see Akane shocked and looking at the handle of her mallet and back to him with wide eyes.
Her shocked expression turned to that of anger and she screamed, "RANMA YOU IDIOT! WHY ARE YOU INTERFERING IN MY FIGHT!"
Without a word, he flicked her in the forhead, sending her sprawling to the ground knocked out.
Soun could be heard wailing as he said, "Oh no, my poor baby!"
He pointed an accusing finger at Ranma even in his awkward position and said, "How could you hurt your fincee Ranma? Apologize to Akane now!"
He smirked and said, "How about no Tendo. She isn't my fiancee anymore."
He gasped and then started wailing as he said, "Now the schools will never be joined!"
Everyone one of the Titans could be seen staring except for Beast Boy who was out like a light.
Ranma turned his evil eyes to Cologne who simply backed away and pogoed over to her daughter, hitting a shiatsu point and instantly waking her up.
Cologne said, "Come Shampoo, wake up child!"
Shampoo looked at her gret grandmother dazed and said, "W-What do you mean great grandmother? Where Ranma?"
She turned to see Ranma looking at them with a really pissed expression on his face that went completely overlooked by the Amazon warrior.
She immediately smiled and said, "Airen! Shampoo found you!"
She went to give him a super glomp but was stopped by one of Ranma's hands holding her head at arm's length.
She looked at him confused and he said, "Look bimbo, I told you I don't care about your stupid laws and I don't care about you. Leave. Me. Alone!"
She looked at him hurt and then she stood her ground, extremely agitated and said, "Ranma! You stupid!"
She pulled water out of nowhere and changed into a cat, digging her claws into his flesh and knowing that she was going to scare him. Unfortunately for her, that wasn't going to happen.
Ranma stood his ground completely unfazed and said, "Are you done yet?"
Cologne and Shampoo looked at him shocked and Cologne said, "B-But the cat fist!"
He just smirked and said, "Spending time with the demon cats from hell sure makes your fear of regular cats a whole lot less old ghoul."
He tore the shocked Shampoo off his shirt and threw her into the old ghoul, sending them both to the ground speechless.
All of a sudden a familiar voice cut through the carnage and said, "Oh my."
-0-0-
Ranma's eyes instantly went back to normal and he turned around with a smile to see Kasumi looking wide eyed at the wreckage that used to be the street.
He said jovially, "Hey Kasumi, what's going on."
Completely ignoring the wreckage of the street, she said, "Oh, hello Ranma, how are you? Good I presume?"
He smiled and said, "Yep, as good as good can be."
Cybrog lifted his green friend over his shoulder and he turned to Ranma and said, "Thanks for the save back there Ranma. Who's this?"
He smiled and said, "Kasumi, meet Cyborg, Cyborg, Kasumi."
Cyborg waved and said, "Hey Kasumi, what's up."
She blushed and said, "Oh my, you're Cyborg of the Teen Titans."
He smiled and rubbed the back of his neck and said, "Yeah, so uh-"
Robin came in and said, "Cy, I hate to break up your intro here but we need to take care of these guys first."
Cyborg looked around at the fallen wrecking crew and said sheepishly, "Oh yeah..."
Raven said, "Uh Ranma, what are we going to do with them?"
Ranma said, "Well they did attack us..."
Kasumi said, "But Ranma, we can't send them to jail! They just did what they normally did!"
Everyones face faulted and Cyborg said, "Dawg, I can't see how you deal with this on a daily basis."
He frowned and said, "Neither do I Cy."
Robin said, "That still doesn't tell us what we're going to do with them. It may be normal for them to do it back in Japan, but here in America it's different."
Kasumi looked at him and said in a Starfire like innocence, "But we just can't!"
Kasumi put on the pleading face that only her and Starfire could seem to do and everyone melted under the stare, knowing there was no way out of it.
Raven walked over to Ranma and grabbed onto his arm, looking up at him with sympathetic eyes and saying, "What are we going to do with them Ranma? Robin?"
Robin sighed and said, "We could...let them stay at the Tower."
Ranma frowned and said, "No way in he-"
Kasumi said, "Ranma, please just let them saty? Just until we can find a place to saty."
Ranma melted under the look and said, "It's not my descision Kasumi, it's up to the Titans."
Robin said, "Well Titans? Any objections?"
All of them were going to object when Kasumi gave the the look for the third time and they instantly caved.
Robin sighed and said, "Alright then, get them back to the Tower." He watched as his team went and collected the NWC and though, 'I can tell, this is going to be a very, very long day.'
