A Nautilus Production

By Captain Nemo

Ok, 24 reviews. That's almost 5 reviews per chapter. I know my writing is improving, my teacher read through most of this fanfic and approves of it.

I am thinking of posting the original chapter from my first try at this cross over. So if y'all want to se that chapter to see how it originally started, let me know.

(I only own the original characters. If you try to use them, go ahead. I don't care. Well I do care because I don't want to see them portrayed wrong.)

WARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNING

This chapter contains violence. If you do not wish to read about people dieing, please do not read this chapter. If I have to, I will change the rating.

Well, its time for that one statement that starts all my works.

On With The Story.

It Happens

Four weeks later, out side Hereford.

Everyone is in place, we are ready to go at your signal. a man said in to a radio. He was wearing a type of urban camouflage uniform, and caring an AK-74. He also had on web gear with pouches. In the pouches were ammunition, grenades, and plastic explosive. There where about 20 other men in the room, and all were similarly armed. There where 10 other teams just like his waiting too be given the order to attack.

It had taken them about three weeks to get into the position that they where in now, ready to strike where nobody had dared to strike before, the heart of the British Special Air Service, more commonly known as the SAS, the world leaders in special operations. There base was also the home to a group known as Rainbow 6. He knew what this group was capable of, they had tapes of there actions in the briefing that they had received. They would not draw them into an ambush as the Irish had, the only time the group had taken any losses in combat. They would strike at there heart, during there morning jog.

Some where in England

Where the hell am I now? A young man shouted. He was wearing a travel pack with a large bamboo umbrella in it. He had on a yellow shirt and brown pants, both looked like they had seen better days. He also had on a yellow bandana that had black tetris pieces on it.

The Saotome House

So Mom, How was the trip? Ranma asked. He and Akane had seen there parents off and on for the past few weeks. They had been off touring England and had been enjoying them selves. They had done the normal tourist stuff and had even seen the queen at a public function.

Genma and Soun had kept there sparing to light level so they wouldn't draw a crowd, they had come close once. They had seen some Royal Marines practicing martial arts in a park in there off time and had gone over to watch to judge how good they where. When they said that they had enough to get by, the Marines took offense and asked if they would like to join them. They soon regretted it. Soun and Genma delivered a thrashing that left all the marines on the ground. They had seen them the next day and given them some pointers.

Well, we did a lot. Right now I kind would like to home for now, but I would not mind coming back someday. Nodoka said. She truly did have a good time. She and Kasumi had even learned a few new recipes, they had traded with Mrs. Clark, that she was waiting to try at home.

She remembered the night they had meet the Clakes and the Chavezs. How Ranma and his father had gotten into one of there fights over food, and the look on there faces when Ranma had splashed Genma with a glass of cold water, turning him into a panda.

Well its time to head out for the morning jog. I'll see you later. Ranma said as he got up to head out the door. See you out there Akane. Akane was known to jog behind the Rainbow troopers. It had become a bit of a challenge to some of them to see if they could out do her. No one had done it yet.

I'll be out there in a little bit Ranma. Akane said from the bedroom. Ranma then went out the door for the daily routine of jogging, weapons practice, and looking at intelligence reports.

Lately, a lot of high profile terrorists had dropped of the map, about 26 in fact. They dropped off the face of the earth at about the same time, and that had people worried. These men had talent, there was no denying it. They had fought in several battles and had taught others. The only reason that they where still breathing was because they had stayed in countries that protected them.

Near Hereford

"Okay, I know I'm in Russia somewhere. I think this is Siberia" said the eternal lost boy, Also known as Ryouga Habiki. He was trying desperately trying to get back to his wife. He had gotten better at not getting lost, in fact he could usually find his way back home in about two weeks.

A hotel room

Jean Picked up the radio mike, he was about to say the words that would cause the SAS there greatest defeat. He would go down as a legend in the terrorist community. He would be the one that brought the invincible SAS too its knees.

All teams. Go.

The guard shack.

The man on guard duty where surprised to see a delivery van pull up. It was not on the list for him to let in. He was coming out to see what the matter was. He then saw the side of the van open, in the van where several men holding weapons. He went for his sidearm and started to shout a warning to the other man in the guard shack. It would be the last thing that he did.

Almost soon as the door was open, the men inside where firing. One of them had an RPG witch he aimed at the guard shack. The soldier inside saw the other man go down, and right before the RPG hit he hit the panic button.

All of a sudden other vans where following the first one in, all had there side doors open and where firing at anything that moved. Every thing depended on speed, first on the target list where the armories, if they could take them out, the SAS would be almost helpless. They had to take those out first.

The Rainbow team was just entering the firing range when the shooting started. This would prove to be the critical later on. They saw five white vans coming down the road at high speeds, the thing that really got there attention where the men hanging out of the side, holding AK-47s, shooting.

"Everyone in the building RIGHT NOW" Chavez yelled. He knew that they where no match for men with AKs. They needed guns, and they needed them fast.

Everyone was hurrying into the building to arm themselves. The terrorist where now firing in there direction. They saw a bundle being thrown at them and knew it was a satchel charge.

KABOOM

BOOM

Everyone was blown off there feet. They quickly looked around too see if any one was injured. They where surprised that nobody was, then they saw Ranma standing there, arms stretched and palms facing the vans. One of the vans was destroyed, a smoldering wreak. "Get inside, I'll see if I can hold them off." Then the firing resumed. The team got into the armory, now they would have a fighting chance.

Near the battle

Ryoga sensed somebody using a lot of chi. He then heard two explosions close by. He then recognized who that aura belonged to. Ranma. He headed off in Ranma's direction. If he had used a chi blast that big, he would need help.

Hereford

Akane was jogging along when she heard the firing. She knew that she had to get cover, and fast. She was heading for a thick tree when she a child on the ground. She ran over to him, as she was running she saw a man raise a rifle in the kids' direction. Instinctively she picked up a rock at her feat and hurled it at the terrorist. The rock made contact with his head.

The rock struck home, right at the temple. The Terrorist fell dead as his brains where blown out of the side of his head.

Akane reached the boy and saw that he lay in an expanding pool of blood. She saw that he had been hit in the leg. She thought that he was dead as he didn't move or make any noise. She then saw that he was breathing, 'he must be knocked out' she thought, 'I better get him to safety.' She looked around and saw a row of houses, she ran over to them and knocked on the door. She was greeted by a man with a shotgun pointed right at her. "Can you help me, this kids' been shot?" Akane asked.

"Yes we can. Now get in here. Trust me lass you don't want to be out there." The man said. "I've seen a situation like this before. All you can do is sit tight with your weapon and wait for them to come to you, then cut them down as they get close." The man said. He had brought them into the living room. "Nancy, get in here with the first aid kit. We've got a kid who's been shot."

"Coming right away" His wife, Nancy, called out. She came running in with the first aid kit and got to work on the kid. "I haven't seen any thing like this in a long time, not since I was last deployed. We had some bad one's then. Damn, I don't have what I need. I'll have make do." Nancy said.

"I'll go and get some stuff from the hospital." said Akane

"You are not going out in that, I've been in the SAS for 15 years know. The best thing to do now is too sit tight." The man said.

"Look, there might be other kids out there, I can get them. Trust me." Akane told him. She was not going to sit around while people where in danger.

"Okay, I'll go with you then. Nancy, I want you to take the kid there to the Smithes behind us. I'm going to go with her."

"Okay, we should be safe there." Nancy then picked up the kid in her arms and went into the backyard and through the gate.

"Okay miss, what's your plan." The man asked "Bye the way, my names Harold Briggs, what's yours?" Harold asked.

"Akane Saotome. You can call me Akane." Akane answered.

"Your Saotome's wife? Well if your anything like him, I guess I you could be useful in a fight, let me get something and then we'll go." Harold said as he walked down a hall way. He came back with his shotgun slung over his shoulder, a pistol on his belt, and a rifle in his hands. "It's been a few years since I've done anything like this, but I figure I've still got it. Lets go Akane." Harold said as he walked out of the door. Akane was right behind him.

At the Armory

"Shit, just how many of them can there be?" Chavez asked to no one. They had already fought off two determined attacks. Several of his men where down, some needed medical attention fast if they where going to make it. Homer and Dieter, the teams snipers where on the roof providing recon and where doing a great job of keeping the guys with the RPG's down.

"Hey Ding, I got threw too some one, I'm requesting backup." John said. "Shit, these people are allover the place. I've got reports that there shooting at any thing that moves." John said after exchanging word for a few minutes. "Basically we're on our own for now, till the army arrives. Lets face it, they got us surrounded."

"Those poor bastards" Some shouted.

"Okay everyone, I don't know if we can hold them on the on the first floor, so lets get the second ready." Chavez ordered. On the second floor where the noncombatants and wounded, they could not afford to let these people get that far, they would protect them with there life. The team was very good at close quarters fighting, and they where about to prove it.

Near the hospital

"Shit, I haven't seen anything like this in a long time." Harold Said. There where bodies all over the place. People had been shot as they ran. There where several dead terrorist, along with several dead soldiers. The place had been turned into a slaughter house. "Come on, nobody is a live here." He said as he and Akane left the playground.

Near the other side of the hospital

"I've got to find Akane." Ranma said to himself. He had already handled several terrorists, taking weapons from fallen soldiers. He had already sworn to kill them all, he swore that he would when he held a child as he died. All the kid wanted was to take his dog for a walk.

At the hospital

Very few survivors where coming in. Doctors and nurses where attending to those who did come in. Several nurses saw a white van pull and went out to see if there where wounded in the van. When they got near the side doors opened up, and so did the men inside.

The men inside the van where about to enter the hospital when someone started shouting at them from there right, they turned to return fire and saw one man with a rifle, lying down deadly accurate fire. One of them was able to wound him before he dropped the last one.

"Bloody hell, this hurts." Harold said through clenched teeth as a nurse attended to him. He had been shot in the leg and was bleeding like crazy.

"I'm going to see if I can find anymore people out there who need help." Akane said as she left the room. Harold tried to stop her but she didn't listen. She went out the door looking for people while keeping an eye for any terrorist. She had just rounded a corner when she saw a man with a rifle raised. He aimed at her and fired.

Akane screamed in pain as the bullet hit her.

That's all for today folks. I was going to write a chapter like this from the start. I wan you to know that I am a lover of peace, I do not want a war, because war is hell. No soldier wants to go to war. War is ugly, people die in them. Here are some quotes from people about war.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
- John Stewart Mill

"The conqueror is always a lover of peace; he would prefer to take over our country unopposed."
- Karl von Clausewitz

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
- Albert Einstein

"From time to time, the tree of Liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots."
- Thomas Jefferson

"War is an art, and as such is not susceptible of explanation by fixed formula."
- General George S. Patton Jr.

Let these remind you that sometimes it is necessary for people to go to war, but that only those who are crazy welcome it. No soldier wants to kill, but if he has to, he will.
