Darkness Calls
Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma 1/2 or Star Wars. I a just borrowing the characters for my own personal use and because I was interested in what would happen. Don't flame me but praise me for getting a good idea. I know that there are some fics around which have the same settings but bear with me. I only try to make my personal twist in it. Just read and view it. Iu will say that I have a certain affinity for the Dark Side since I play Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords. Well I am actually still trying to get through the game and the game is what I'll base this story on. Have fun reading .
Apprentice
Ranma cried out in pain as the claws from the cats raked across his skin. This was pure agony and he felt himself being stripped of some meat on his muscles. He still believed that his father would save him from the pain. The part of him that still believed in his father cried out for the old man but only received a gruff reply:
"Shut up boy! Can't you see that I am training here. Now stop your stupid whining and train in the Neko-ken."
Genma Saotome was sitting lazily in the sun watching a few birds pass by when his son's screams continued to grow higher and higher. Ranma was in a world of pain every second seemed like an age to him. The cats were yowling all around him and blood clung to his body most of it his own. He started to feel anger at his treatment and at the torture he underwent. His conscious mind argued that it was all for the sake of training to protect people who couldn't fight. Ranma's subconscious embraced the anger and reasoned that if it was for the sake of training then why the old man didn't join. Why would he teach Ranma such an unbeatable technique if he himself could use it to better protect people? Why was he lying here in this pit with all those cats hurting him and the old man training outside? Ranma began to fight against the cats who had finally undone most of the fish sausage bindings and Ranma smashed a cat to the side and heard its bones break and a weak meow issue from the cats mouth. Ranma felt satisfaction at the kill and soon he ripped apart the cats in the pit with his bare hands. Then he screamed:
"HEY OLD MAN LET ME OUT! THERE ARE NO CATS ALIVE ANYMORE!"
Genma looked at the pit from his lazy spot and heard Ranma say that all the cats were dead. The foolish boy must have killed them to escape training was Genma's reasoning. He opened the pit and started to violently beat Ranma for not training hard enough.
Ranma was shocked as he felt his father's fist hit him in the chest. He was thrown back and landed with a crash. Then the old man was upon him beating him with his fists while shouting about honour. He was screaming something about no honour being gained from quitting training in the Neko-ken.,
Ranma could just moan when the beating was finished. Blood streaked the grass crimson as it leaked from numerous wounds. He was left there to sleep while Genma was sleeping in a comfortable sleeping bag. Ranma felt the hate return. Why would he have to sleep outside of a comfortable sleeping bag while his father got all the food and rest and warmth? Why would he have to train and get beaten if Genma did nothing but sit on his fat arse and command him to learn the technique? The Neko-ken was a fucked up technique according to Ranma. Ranma didn't know it but his eyes became cold as a glacier that moment. He drifted into a fitful sleep and was awakened as something was strapped to his torso and feet. He looked around and saw Genma tying his arms with iron chains that wouldn't break. He was no being rubbed with fish paste and to Ranma's horror there were yowling sounds coming from the pit.
Ranma was thrown in again and this time he felt the claws once again hurt him so badly that it made him retch as bile came up his throat at the stench that was coming from the pit. It was a mix of blood and waste. Apparently his father had found more stray cats and had thrown them into the pit. Feline yowls were all around him. Ranma felt himself succumb to a mind numbing madness that welled up in his mind because the screams began to echo in his mind. He adopted a catlike personality that ripped through the iron lid without trouble and slashed at Genma.
When Ranma awoke he was within the arms of an old lady. He looked around and saw his father argue with the old lady. He took note that the old lady had ruby red eyes and that she seemed to smell like honey and berries. That was not the smell of an old woman because Ranma knew that due to the body's aging process that the scent of a man or woman would smell older. The smell that hung around this woman made her look old and young altogether. He climbed off the lap of the woman and said:
"Thank you for taking care of me Miss. I am thankful that you managed to snap me out of my catlike daze."
Ranma didn't know why he could smell the woman tensing a little but knew that not much good could come from it. He sensed some compulsion to come with his father and tried to resist. He saw the old lady hand something to Genma and when he left with his father who was dragging him with him he saw the old woman's form blur until a woman in her mid twenties stood there. Ranma felt anger once again run rampant through his body as he realised he had been tricked. His father was holding a crystal of some kind and Ranma knew that there would be no escaping this. The crystal seemed to be some control mechanism to control him.
They rested at a cave found in the wilderness after a long day of training. genma had opted to stay there because it suited his need for sleep. Ranma just felt compelled to go to the cave.Ranma asked to explore the cave and Genma gave permission just because he wanted to get rid of the boy and get to sleep.
Ranma wandered through the cave until he came at a strange device that was embedded within a wall. He looked at it and it beeped a little. Ranma touched it with his fingers and a holographic figure came into view. A dark ominous voice was heard inside Ranma's head:
"Greetings young one. Why are you here in this sacred place where the greatest of the Sith are gathered?"
Ranma looked at the device and theperson standing there and answered:
"I just touched it and then you appeared."
The voice spoke again:
"I sense a great hatred for the one you once called father with love and care. It turned to hate the instant he started hitting you and training you to become the best. Feel the hatred and fury within you and let it fester until it reaches even greater heights. Let it grow until it fills your being. Let it flow through your blood and supply you with power. Blood shall flow once you have learned all there is. Let me teach you the ways of the Sith young one. I'll train you to become the best."
Ranma looked at the holographic figure and said:
"How would you teach me? You are nothing but a weird glowing thing."
The Shade of the Sith Lord looked at Ranma and said:
"Young one there are many ways that I could train you but I shall do so within your dreams. In the day your father will train you and you will get stronger physically. Let the hatred increase with every training and I'll teach you to use it and to eradicate all opposition. Young one would you like to become a Sith? Use the Force to hurt those that deserve your hatred and the scum of the Universe?"
Ranma nodded and said:
"Who are the scum of the Universe Sensei? I wish to know my enemy."
The Sith Lord smirked under his cap and said:
"They are the Jedi. They strife to uphold peace and prosperity. It has been twenty thousand years since I have been alive and I suspect that none of them are still alive. Young one you will train under me, Darth Ranko Sitharian."
Then the hood came off and a pretty redheaded woman was seen. She had a cold look in her eyes and said:
"Now you will take this memory storing device off this wall and hide it well. I have no doubt your lazy father would see it the moment he got his claws on it. Come on take it!"
Ranma grabbed the device and it detached from the wall with a metallic hiss. He grabbed it in his arms and Ranko's voice could be heard in his head:
"Come on don't stand around. Training will begin when you are asleep."
Ranma fell asleep the moment he hit the cold floor in the cave next to his father.
Soon he was standing in a desert with sand and rocks stretching beyond the horizon. Ranko was sitting an a rather large boulder and stared at her young student:
"Welcome. Now there is no time for you to be loitering around let's get to training. I want you to enter a state of trance that makes you aware of your surroundings. Do it now and I might consider letting you train in the ways of the Sith."
Ranma sat down on the floor and started to go in a meditative trance that had been taught by a monk of a shaolin temple. He gathered all his inner energy and started to go into a trance.
He felt something hit him in the face and he looked at his mentor and she said:
"Do not channel the Light Side of the Force youngling. Try to access your hatred for your father and you shall learn the Dark Side and become a Sith."
Ranma did so and soon he felt the familiar feelings of hatred flow through his being and make him see red colours. He felt himself getting lost in the abyss of dark feelings and tried to get out. But instead of letting his conscious mind rule he focused on his subconscious mind and soon he embraced those feelings of loathing and hatred and soon he was glowing with dark emotional energy and suddenly he was jerked out of the trance by his master who stood there looking at him and said:
"Very well young one. You have gathered all your darker emotions. I think you will be ready to be taught the Dark Side of the Force now. Gather those Dark emotions in your hands and will them to extend towards a target and then imagine lightning coursing over your hand and striking the target. Feel anger surge through you and make you stronger. Forget fear only feel hatred. As the Light Side tells its students that fear leads to anger and anger leads to the Dark Side it is indeed true. Harvest all your fears and will them away. I will take care of your small fear of cats and defeat it. You keep on training your darker emotions until you are strong enough to blast apart the target. You will call me Master for the time being until I deem you worthy of calling me by my given name."
Ranma nodded and started to try and focus his darker emotions at the target and imagining a bolt of lighting coming out of his hands. Nothing came out. He tried again and again. After the four hundred and seventy ninth try he looked at the target and felt anger course through his veins and with a scream of:
"JUST DIE YOU FUCKING TARGET!"
Then a bolt of black lightning coursed through his hands and incinerated the target., he heard clapping from behind and he looked at his Master. She looked at him with a grin on her face that reminded him of himself. She said to him at a plain tone:
"That was great young student. You truly are one of the fastest learners I have ever seen. Tomorrow we will work on teaching you the basics of being a Sith."
Ranma sighed and was slapped awake by his father for sleeping in. Ranma got up and put the Sith memory storage device in his pocket and through that in a pocket made from Ki. Then he joined his father in training while he let his hatred for the man fester and grow as he was hit repeatedly and called weak by the man.
Every night he was being trained by his red-haired Master and he would learn different techniques to maim people without leaving evidence that he had been behind it. He learned to lie without making one suspicious and to always look for a way out of any situation that may arise. Genma would soon meet the might of the Sith. And he would feel overwhelming fear that accompanied a Sith. They were headed for a place in China where they would train. Then they would return to Japan where Ranma had a reasonable chance of finding his mother again. Jusenkyou was something of a legendary training ground according to Genma. Ranko had advised Ranma to keep out looking for any trouble that might arise. Ranma did so and saw the misty training ground. He still wore the white Gi and looked at it with loathing. Every time he was training he was dressed in robes of the purest black that fit him nicely. He and his Master would spar with lightsabers to test Ranma's skill. Now Genma commanded Ranma to jump on top of a pole to test his skills at the training ground. The guide wwas warning tehm about the pools but Ranma paid him no heed. With a mighty kick he sent Genma crashing into a pool. Out came a massive Panda and Ranma found himself being flung into a pool.
He felt his body reshape itself and when he emerged from the pool he felt two protrusions from his chest., he looked down and saw two breasts where once was a male chest.
Genma would pay for this, was the first thought that came to mind which was echoed by his Master in his head.
Something I wanted to try out people. Leave me a review if you like it and tell me what that thing is where the Sith store their dead Shades in. I don't know what it is. Anyway the next time will be having some blood in it. Actually dismemberment as Ranma doesn't go to the Amazon Village but goes directly to Japan with Genma. All reviews will be replied to by the author.
