Switched
-…- coughing, hacking, making a certain sound
"…" speaking out loud
'…' thinking
:…: Name of an enemy
Disclaimer: I don't need a disclaimer. I own this 100 percent! HAHAHA! (sigh) If I did then everything in Ranma will change. I don't do this for profit or gain but I do it for fan appreciation. So that means I don't own it. So bug off you lazy ass lawyers.
Last Time
"This is what happened long ago… only you pilots can save it. You are the ONE who shall pilot me. You are the only one…" The beautiful girl whispers once again to Zero's ear. "It is a pilot's destiny…"
Zero lost his voice and opens his mouth. He whispers something under his breath. The girl smiles and nods at Zero. She then hugs him closer to herself. Zero doses off as the warmth spread throughout his body.
Outside in the Real World
Leena furiously worked on the controls to stop the machine from activation. The machine starts by itself and denies any rejects. Leena furiously types the abortion codes but the machine wouldn't respond. Leena got angry and smashed the keyboard. Looking really frustrated, Leena looks up at the machine with worry.
"I hope Gar-kun comes back soon…" Leena whispers.
At the Same Time
Ranma just finished going to the washroom and was staring at his hands warily. The toilets in the future was weird… there is no flush and the only thing to wipe is done automatically. Washing your hands gets even more confusing. A beam of light comes from the sink and the feeling of rubbing alcohol against his skin; the hands then look clean, feel clean, and smell clean. This is the weirdest day ever.
Walking down the hallways Ranma didn't realize the area around him began to change. The walls melted away, the floors turns darker and the light dimmed. Ranma noticing the lights dimming looks up. The sight brought a frown on Ranma's face, the Void again. Ranma curses under his breath and awaited the coming feeling of being sucked up.
That didn't happen, the sounds of war blazes through Ranma's ears. Looking around him suddenly Ranma began to shift into a defensive stance. People crying out in pain intensified. The sounds of gunfire and hums got louder. Ranma can see something this time. The skies red and walls splattered with blood. Wincing at the site of blood Ranma takes a step back. Bumping into someone Ranma turned around to apologize when he saw the face of the man. An eyeball covering half of a man's face, the veins bulge at the face as the parasite controlled the man. The infested man brings up his gun and points it at Ranma. Ranma, being faster than any human, knocked the gun away and punched the eyeball directly. A big splat of green blood splayed everywhere. Turning away from the blood so that it won't hit his eyes. The man that Ranma punched got up on his feet and ran over to Ranma to thank him, but ended up confusing Ranma even more.
"THANK YOU! THANK YOU! KURO-DONO!" The man happily slapped Ranma on the back and picked up his gun to continue fighting. Ranma looks back at the man wondering what the hell is going on. Turning around, Ranma sees a mass of flying creatures, mutilated elephants, and naga (something like a body of human and snake bottom)shaped creatures.
The humans are fighting back full force. Men died around him as Ranma continues to observe the surroundings. The lasers and bullets flies across the battlefield killing creatures left and right. The creatures in turn used their own weapons. The elephants produced tusks from inside their mouth and slashed people with it. The naga shaped creatures spits acid onto the human hordes, melting people away. Parasites crawl around the area looking for live bodies that they can attach to. What made it so disturbing is that Ranma can identify all of the creatures on the field. The elephants were known as :Armor:. The naga shaped creature is named :Hunters:. The flying creatures were called :Gliders, and another type of higher class flying creatures was known as :Corrosive:. The parasites running around the battlefield are called :Eyeball:.
The different creatures all have their weakness and strengths. The creature known as :Armor: is now wreaking havoc among the soldiers. Trampling everything in its way effectively made the soldiers' lines easier to penetrate. Ranma seeing this rushes off with a gun in hand and started to fire at its eyes. Blinding the :Armor: was easy but the hard part is shooting enough to kill it. When it opened its mouth Ranma grabbed a dead soldier's grenade and tossed it into the :Armor's: mouth. With a big boom the innards and pieces of its hard armor fell everywhere. The armor creates dents to what ever it landed on. Ranma didn't break a sweat as he looked at the masses of creatures. The soldiers looked up at Ranma and cheered as their moral got boosted up. Ranma instinctively looks up towards the sky to find :Corrosive's: all over the place. Gritting his teeth Ranma jumped into the sky and latched onto on of the :Corrosive's: back. The creature didn't seem to notice Ranma as he climbed on to his head. Standing on top of its head, Ranma clenched his fist and brought it down on the :Corrosive's: head, effectively smashing its brain to nothing. The soldiers cheered as Ranma did that and followed his example. All the soldiers jumped into the sky and landed on the :Corrosives': back. The soldiers clench their fists and smash the :Corrosives': head in.
This did not surprise Ranma at all, that they could also jump so high and punch through the armor. Ranma felt like that he knew along that they could do these kinds of things. What scared him the most is that he knows the creatures' weakness, their weapons, names, their habits and everything else. As the creature is falling, Ranma jumped onto another one and punch it too. It seemed as if this was meant to be. After the creatures all died out the soldier stood in one single file line and saluted Ranma.
"SIR OUR MISSION IS COMPLETE SIR!" They all shouted in unison.
Ranma backed away a little bit and dumbly replied.
"Er….am I your superior officer?"
The soldiers all look at one another. They look back towards their captain and walks up to him. Ranma seeing the numerous armies walking towards him began to feel unsteady. Once they were in front of him, one of the medics in the line pulled out something that looked like a scanner. The medic scanned him and a loud 'beep beep' sound could be heard. The soldiers look at one another in silence and looked stupidly at one another.
Ranma had no idea what was happening, but by the looks of things they were bad. The medic looked up from the scanner and spoke in confusion to Ranma.
"Kuro-dono is something wrong with you? The scanner says you are perfectly healthy, but something is amiss in your DNA. It seems that your…. a human." The medic said in confusion.
"W-What are you talking about? I have always been human! You are human too right?" Ranma questioned.
"No, we're not human. We're super soldiers. We are genetically imbedded with some of the Victims' DNA. It doesn't affect our appearances, but it makes sure that we can't have kids. We lost a lot of our freedom with the DNA imbedded in us. But for some strange reason you have become a human. We like to know because your answer can be the life and death answer. Because we're afraid that you might be a :Clone:. Now answer truthfully, this scanner can tell if you're lying or not."
Ranma grits his teeth as the guns were all aimed at him. A nervous sweat drop rolled down his back chilling his spine. Ranma looked around him and prayed that he wouldn't get shot. Ranma knows that even he can't dodge a bullet. Breathing in and out Ranma closed his eyes and cast 'Soul of Ice' on himself. Opening his eyes again Ranma said for them to go ahead.
"First question. Who are you?"
"I am Ranma Saotome."
The scanner did not beep and the whispers began.
"Second question. What are you here for?"
"How the hell am I supposed to know? I just suddenly woke up and a guy was attached with an :Eyeball:."
The scanner once again did not beep. The whispers got louder.
"Third question. Where did you come from?"
"I came for a spaceship built by humans, named G.O.A"
The scanner still did not beep. The whispers now turn into shouts.
"WHAT THE HELL! WE NEVER BUILT A SPACESHIP! OUR TECHNOLOGY ISN'T ADVANCE ENOUGH!"
Is what most of the crowd shouted at.
"Forth question. Where and what era were you born?"
"I was born in Juuban during the… I'm not really sure what you mean by era, but I guess it was A.D."
No one said anything. And a silence followed. No beep, no whispers, no shouting, nothing at all. The silence reined over everyone. The heavy atmosphere nearly broke Ranma out of his 'Soul of Ice' trance. Ranma could hear his breathing among the many that were present before him. The medic looked up from the scanner and quietly whispered but loud enough so the army could hear.
"You are one of the perfect generations. You are the last of your kind, no…the human race. You're the only pure human left in the universe." The medic paused after that. "Speak of this to no one! If they find out that we have the last pure human we're going to be ambushed by everything the Victim has. It seems that you and the captain switch places. For now you shall still be commander until the real commander comes back."
Ranma says nothing about this and turns away from him. 'If what he says is true. Then what is my body doing right now?
Back Inside the G.O.A. right when Ranma gone to Kuro's world
Kuro shook his head from the dizziness that had overcame him in battle. Once everything focused again Kuro immediately jumped and rolled behind a wall. Pressing his back against the wall. Kuro took a peek around the corner only to find nothing there. Kuro looks down on him self and finds that his semi-cyber suit, combat knife, semi-automatic with piercing bullets, and a beam rifle. The combat knife is strapped around his right lower leg. The semi-automatic in hand, and the beam rifle mounted on his back, the rifle pointing downwards and the barrel across his right shoulder blade to his left thigh. Looking up from his position Kuro puts on a frown.
"New stage, eh."
Author Note: Alright I have the new chapter for you hope you like it. Here is the classes.
Elephants Armor- this creature is unaffected by bullets and lasers. The hardness of the shell of this creature far surpasses any known material. Only weakness is the eyes, where you can shoot and destroy its brain through. Or its mouth, when it opens wide. Generally the Armor walks on four legs. The weapons of this creature are its tusks. The only way it can attack is using its tusk, but it has to open its mouth in order to cause harm. The eyes are very large and numerous so they are easy targets.
Naga shaped creature Hunters- They spit weak acid at the enemies. The heads of these monsters are "v" shaped. The arms are two long scythes. The lower body is made up of its spine. Generally these units are very dangerous. They can melt the armor and then eat the human, or melt him completely off the bat, takes time. The claws are used as close ranged combat. Their weakness is that the body of the creature is unarmored and soft. Their tails that is made up of their spine is also a weakness. Break the tail where it meets its body and it will kill it instantly.
Flying Creatures Gliders – Organic little flyer with jagged teeth. Flies at fast rates, the only attack is exploding itself when it touches something made out of metal.
Higher class flying creatures Corrosive – Crab shaped, with armor padded skin. Spits acid like spores onto enemies. Wherever they are they can see far. Range is very great. The acid is easy to doge if seen.
Parasites Eyeball- Little eyeballs that had an organic tail to move around. Once it latches to a human it temporary gains control of the human. It is very easy to kill it.
