Broken Hearts Combined Chapter 32: The Ninth Weaponsmaster A Secret from the Past
Sheila stands there. The land is dark; no sound whatsoever except for her breathing. She looks around the area, all the while wondering where the heck could she be?
Suddenly, her nose twitches. She smells smoke. She feels the heat behind her. She slowly turns around and sees it.
Sheila: The fire
Yes The fire The one that had mysteriously started in the Retreat a good 12 years ago She sees it all. The same flames, the same smoke. Her ears flatten as she tries to block out the same screams of horror that she heard that night.
This was the night she lost her parents.
Sheila: NO! STOP IT!
Sheila drops to her knees. How could she be here? Then she hears it The clanging of horse shoes on cobblestone road. She turns and sees the Edge Guard. She sees a large male wereleopard in black armor on the first horse. She recognizes him as Joseph, the leader of an old edge guard group The one that used to protect her old hometown. She sees others as well. A werepantheress named Sapphire, who was an archer. A weretigress named Sophia, who was the team's strategist and a low ranking Healing Mage And she sees two jagweres, who she immediately recognizes as her parents, Marcus and Aeila. She runs up to them.
Sheila: MOM, DAD!
She tries to throw her arms around her father as he dismounts his horse, but Her arms go right through him
Sheila: A Is this a dream?
Soon, a door from a nearby building goes flying forward and out into the street, she sees a man step out. A man that she has long hated Now she knows she's dreaming This man has been dead for too long as well
Sheila: Dominic "The Land Pirate"
Yes Dominic A man who has been a 'story' of taverns, travelers, and wives' tales A man who turns out was incredible real
He stands there in the doorway of the burning building; his eyes a deep black, with irises that seem to shine like gold He stands at a full 6'9 feet tall, his long white hair pulled back into a ponytail, and he wears a combination of red cloth and gold and platinum armor, an eye-mask of pure silver, and a brisling cape that looks like a piece of shadow flows behind him, the only reason it is visible because it stands out against the roaring fire behind him Which is not only the building, but also half of all of the Retreat! He takes a step towards the group in front of him.
Dominic: So This is all that is sent to defy me? One lowly group of werekittens?
Joseph: Halt! In the name of the Edge Guard, we shall not let you pass!
Dominic: Heh heh Funny Tell me your name boy.
Joseph: My name?
Dominic: Yes So I'll know what to put on your grave marker
Time seems to slow then, as Dominic unsheathes two swords he is carrying from their scabbards. They are twin swords, but they are made completely of silver, down to the holster. Then, without warning, he moves at speeds that are equal to that of a werecheetah, and Joseph's head goes flying.
Dominic then resheathes one of the swords as Joseph's body slumps to the ground.
Dominic: Too slow
Sapphire lets off a cry of anguish and starts to lungs at him with a Dagger. Dominic catches the werepantheress's wrist and gives it a good twist, as he stabs her in the gullet. He pulls his sword out and watches her body slump to the ground.
Dominic: Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnext?
Sheila begins to shake Why is she seeing this? WHY!? She saw it from her window before, when the fire had stopped outside of her home.
Sheila: Damn it! Why am I here!?
The battle continues. Her parents now surround Dominic, as the Weretigress Sophia checks on Sapphire. The fire seems to be getting stronger, and is now starting to move closer to her home Where she knows she and Gar would still be.
Sheila (Tears start to stream down her face): Why?
Her mother lunges at Dominic from behind while, he is busy facing off against her father. Aeila manages to stab him the back of his shoulder with her dagger. Dominic pushes her father Marcus away, and turns around quickly, his sword getting a quick swipe across Aeila's chest. Sheila can here the fizzling noise of boiling flesh, as silver does not just cut a werebeast, but it also burns them
Sheila runs at Dominic, a war cry piercing through the air, however She just passes through him as well She doesn't exist here
Sheila: DAMN IT!
She can only watch in horror as she sees Dominic pick up her mother by the throat. He then throws her high at one of the windows. She breaks through it, and lands on the top floor A few seconds after, the whole building collapses in a burst of fire and Ash.
Sheila: M Mommy
Marcus then lunges at Dominic, grabbing him in a headlock, and trying to twist his head.
Marcus: YOU BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU!
Dominic: Ah That's the spirit
Dominic then manages to flip Marcus, and then unsheathes his other sword. Marcus takes out his sword as well. The two face off, but Marcus is having a hard time getting through Dominic's defenses Then he sees it And Sheila knows why his face is now a ghostly white
Sheila turns around to see that the fire has spread to her old home
Sheila: DAD! EYE FOCUSED!
He can't hear Sheila however And Dominic slashes Marcus vertically across the chest, making Marcus stagger back. Blood still flows freely from the cauterized flesh
Dominic: Tsk Over so soon?
Marcus looks up at Dominic, and manages to give the bastard a smile.
Marcus: Look behind you
Dominic turns around in time to catch an arrow between the eyes Their Archer, the werepantheress Sapphire was able to survive thanks to Sophia Dominic drops his sword and his body spasms for a bit while standing. Dominic's corpse falls forward, the arrow smashing further through his skull and he lands face-first. Sapphire and Sophia then run up to the Marcus, who is now in his death-throes.
Sophia: Marcus, Sir! Let us help you!
Marcus: Building Children Please save
Marcus spasms once more and he expires. The slash from the silver sword was just too much for his body to handle.
Sheila watches as Sophia and Sapphire run into the burning building. They run out with two little jagweres she recognizes as herself and her brother Gar. The building then collapses, and the Retreat continues to burn
Sheila awakens with a jolt. She breathes heavily, and is in a cold sweat.
Sheila (Mutters): Oh gods I hate that I HATE that dream
Sheila looks to her right. She sees Ranma, lying on his back asleep. She also sees Britanny to Ranma's right, lying on her stomach, asleep as well. Sheila smirks to herself. It wasn't too hard to convince Ranma to let them sleep in the same tent as him. All they had to do was use 'the look' on him, and Ranma melted under their gaze like butter under a noon sun in the middle of summer.
Sheila: Sigh Ranchan
Sheila places her head on his chest and wraps her arms around him. She can hear his heartbeat quite audibly with her enhanced hearing. She starts to settle back to sleep, breathing along to the beat of Ranma's heart.
Sheila: Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ranma, Britanny, and Sheila are walking along in the clearing once again. They have finally made it to the other side of the Jag Mountain Range. They are heading in a northern direction.
Ranma: Sigh Do either of you have an idea of how long it will take to get to Nira?
Britanny: I don't know Ranchan Sorry
Sheila (Shakes her head): I'm guessing a few hours.
Ranma: Well All we can do is keep walking.
Britanny: Well
Ranma: Well what Britchan?
Britanny: Well, we COULD keep walking or
Ranma: Or what Britchan?
Sheila: Yeah What're you planning?
Britanny (Grins): Or We could take a break to practice some more 'marital arts', and then I use my cheetah speed to get us to the city in a matter of minutes? Does that sound 'good' to you two?
Ranma (Sweats): Um Well, Brichan I think
Sheila (Interrupts): I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA!
Britanny: Knew it would be!
Ranma: Um Don't I get a say in this? I mean, as you would put it, we practiced the "marital arts" for five hours last night! Can't we practice martial arts again?
Britanny Sheila: No.
Ranma: But I
Britanny Sheila (Interrupt): No.
Ranma: Don't want
Britanny Sheila (Interrupt): No.
Ranma: Either of you
Britanny Sheila (Interrupt): No.
Ranma: To get out of
Britanny Sheila (Interrupt): No.
Ranma: Practice with your
Britanny Sheila (Interrupt): No.
Ranma: Fighting Sigh You two aren't going to let me get out of this, are you?
Britanny Sheila (Smile): No. Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ranma sighs. Ever since they had admitted their love for each other, Britanny and Sheila have wanted to do 'practicing' of a whole other type with Ranma Not that it's bad, but, Ranma, being who he is, still prefers martial arts. (Yes, Ranma can be a bit of an idiot at times )
Ranma: Sigh Well, will we be able to have you take us to Nira afterwards, Britchan?
Britanny: Sure, sure! No problem. Now Off with those clothes mister! Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ranma once again lets out a sigh. The two werecats then pounce him.
Britanny Sheila: Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
On a nearby hill
Sabbo (Singing): In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight
Tsunami (Stares): ~What in the nine hells are you talking about?~
Sabbo (Singing): Hush my darling, don't fear my darling, the lions sleeps tonight
Tsunami: ~Seriously, what in the holy nine hells ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?~
Sabbo (Singing, dancing): Aweem-awet, aweem-awet, aweem-awet, aweem-awet, aweem-awet, aweem-awet, aweem-awet, aweem-awet
Tsunami (Sweat-drops): ~That's it No more mister nice Shinobi-of-painful-and-
ultimate-death!~
Tsunami then does a roundhouse-kick, and Sabbo goes flying into the distance.
Sabbo (As he flies off): I'll be baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack
Sabbo disappears as a little sparkle on the horizon.
Tsunami: ~I have no idea why I let that little bugger con me into following him at times Oh well ~
Tsunami steps into the nearest shadow, which is provided by a nearby tree, and he disappears into it.
Ranma, wearing only a pair of pants, steps out of the quickly set-up tent and stretches his limbs. He swears to himself that he's got to find a way to get Britanny and Sheila interested in doing martial arts training more often.
On the bright side, all this loving he's been doing with Britanny and Sheila has literally increased his endurance, so it hasn't been a waste of time at all. There's just one thing that bothers Ranma.
Ranma: Dang If Theo or Master Julia knew what I was doing with Britchan, I'd be a dead man
Thoughts of Theo's Demon Head Trick, and Julia with a whole bunch of sharp and pointy weapons go through Ranma's mind. Ranma shivers.
Ranma: Scratch that I'm be beyond being a dead man I'm practically dead where I stand Sigh
And so, getting dressed and having Britanny carry them the rest of the way, Ranma, Britanny, and Sheila finally make it to Nira And it truly is a deserted city The place is in good condition, with towers reaching twenty stories high, and made of stone and glass, and there are many other smaller buildings But
Britanny: Where the heck is everybody!? There's NO ONE AROUND!
Sheila: Brr This place is giving me the creeps
Ranma: I know what you mean Sigh Too bad there's no one here I could REALLY use a good meal right now
Britanny: Hopefully, we'll find an inn and it will have some beds.
Sheila: Yeah And then we can (Grins). Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Britanny (Grins): I know what you mean Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ranma: Um Don't I get a say in this?
Britanny Sheila: Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ranma: Is sex the only thing you two think about!?
Britanny: No. There are other things. Like tuna for example!
Sheila: Yeah. And fighting!
Ranma: Then why is it for the past week, you two have been all over me for, as you two put it, "instruction in the marital arts"?
Britanny: What can I say? You have that effect on us.
Sheila: We can't help but like you.
Ranma: Really?
Britanny Sheila (Nod their heads): Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ranma: Listen, PLEASE let me fight the last two Weaponsmasters first. Then we'll possible have a bit more 'fun'.
Britanny Sheila: Spoil sport
And so, Ranma, Britanny, and Sheila start walking further into Nira
A man/woman watches our group from a mirror he/she has in his tower. It is hard to tell what the gender of this person is, since he/she is neutral. But, what is easy to see is that he/she wears a toga of some sort, has long golden hair, dark red eyes, and has a horn sticking up from the middle of his/her forehead. The person looks specifically at Ranma in the mirror.
Man/woman: Hmm Interesting So, he's finally made it this far Looks like I'll finally have some fun
The man/woman turns around and calls out loud.
Man/woman: SERVANT!
Suddenly, what appears to be a woman, wearing a deep-red colored hood, cape, and shawl combination, with tatters of dark blue armor and green cloth, and a sword to her side appears next to the neutral-looking person.
Servant: You call my liege?
Man/woman: You see this? (Points to the mirror with the image of Ranma and the girls). There are a few 'vermin' that have dared to cross onto my land I want you to hunt them down and 'take care' them.
Servant: Yes my lord Gamadore.
Gamadore: Good. Now take care of them!
Servant: Of course my lord Gamadore.
With that the Servant stands and turns around. She then sprints towards the window, gets onto the railing, and leaps out into the city. She lands on a roof, putting an indentation into it, yet she is not hurt. From there, she begins roof hopping.
Gamadore turns back to look at the mirror.
Gamadore: And now, the fun begins
Ranma, Britanny, and Sheila keep walking through the city
Ranma: So, where would the last two Weaponsmasters be in this place?
Britanny: Probably an inn One with large, soft, comfy beds Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Sheila: I second the notion Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ranma (Shakes his head): Sigh You two aren't going to give up on that idea, are you?
Britanny: Nope!
Sheila: Certainly not Ranchan!
Ranma: Sigh Just my luck to have TWO werecats fall for me that have more stamina then the entire football team of the 1989 Denver Broncos line-up.
Britanny: Hey, you shouldn't be complaining! There are men that would kill to be in your position
Ranma: Heh You aren't telling me anything I don't know Remember all my 'rivals' back in Nerima that I told you about?
Britanny: Yep. So, when we get back, flaunt it in their faces that you know have two BEAUTIFUL women that love you That would do ANYTHING for you
Ranma: How about easing up on the lovemaking?
Britanny Sheila: Anything except that!
Ranma: D'oh! (Looks up). Do any of you feel that
Britanny Sheila: Huh?
Ranma: Extend your auras. Quickly!
Britanny and Sheila then extend their auras as well, and they sense a very powerful aura close to them. A figure jumps down from one of the buildings and lands right in front of the group They see a woman. She is wearing a deep-red colored hood, cape, and shawl combination. The wind picks up, making the cape part bristle open up to reveal a combination of dark blue armor with some slight dents in it atop green clothing, and a sword to her side appears next to the neutral-looking person. However Ranma notices a tip of a tail peek out from underneath the cape.
Ranma: A Werebeast?
The woman doesn't answer him. Instead, the servant of Gamadore looks at each of them in the eyes and then speaks.
Servant: I am one of the ten Weaponsmasters of Jade You are trespassing on Master Gamadore's property Leave Before I have to take care of you myself
Ranma: And if I refuse?
Weaponsmaster: Then (Unsheathes her sword). I shall take care of you personally
With that, Ranma just uses the Hidden Weapons technique and pulls out his titanium katana. Ranma motions to her with his hand.
Ranma: Bring it on
Britanny: Hold it Ranchan! We won't let this bitch get in your way!
Ranma: No! I have to take care of her myself. She IS a Weaponsmaster. You and Shechan just stay back.
Britanny: Fine But you owe us Ranchan.
Ranma: Sigh Fine Just stay out of the way.
Britanny: Okay. Let's keep to the side Sheila.
Sheila: Sure. (Calls out). And remember Ranchan! KICK HER BUTT!
And so, Ranma and the Weaponsmaster fight! They both jump into the air, and connect with a clash of swords. When they both land, the Weaponsmaster strikes with amazing speed, managing to get a slight scratch on the back of Ranma's shoulder, as he rolls forward to evade her attack.
Weaponsmaster (Thinks): Hmm Not too bad At least he has some speed.
Ranma is silently impressed with the Weaponsmaster. The woman is almost on par with Britanny and him in the speed department Almost After a few good moves on both parts, with evading, and striking out with sword attacks, Ranma ups the ante and used some Neko-Ken attacks
Ranma: KAMISORE NEKOTSUME!
Ranma strikes his hand out with the Razor Cat Claw technique. She holds up her sword, and it manages to stand up to the impact of the force of ki that his hands seem to hold. Her cape and hood however, get cut up and sent away by the sudden gust of wind that accompanies the attack.
Feeling that her cape is now gone, the Weaponsmaster strikes out at Ranma in anger.
Weaponsmaster: HOW DARE YOU BOY!?
Ranma manages to evade the sudden swipe from the Weaponsmaster's sword, which was aimed for his head. Ranma starts to move backwards, to give himself some room between the Weaponsmaster and himself. He can now see his opponent more clearly, without the hood and cape. She has a definite feminine form to her body As well as certain cat like features Like the pointed ears, and a tail as well.
The Weaponsmaster looks at Ranma with a mixture of anger and respect.
Weaponsmaster: You You're better than I thought
Ranma: Hey, thanks I think Say, can you lead me to Gamadore? He's the last Weaponsmaster I have to fight, and it's obvious, that I can defeat you. So, how about you make it easy on yourself and surrender, okay?
The Weaponsmaster looks at Ranma with a start. Gamadore's the last Weaponsmaster to fight!? This means the boy must have beaten all the others already Looks like Master Gamadore may be in for some trouble
But then, her anger rises.
Weaponsmaster: Give up? You want me to GIVE UP!? RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHH!
Ranma's eyes widen as the Weaponsmaster lunges at him with her sword. He manages to block it with his katana, and not the two go back to trading blows and trying to evade and block each other's attacks.
Britanny and Sheila watch all this in awe.
Britanny: Damn it. She's going to be a problem Ranchan's already gotten good, and she's giving him trouble. I hope Ranma can stand up to her What do you think Sheila?
Sheila doesn't answer Brit. She just continues watching the fight wide-eyed.
Britanny: Hey Sheila, you okay?
Britanny starts moving her hand up and down in front of Sheila's face to get the Jagwere's eyes to follow her hand's movement. Sheila just keeps looking at the battle.
Britanny: What's with her?
Sheila (Thinks): It can't be It can't be her!
Sheila and Britanny continue to watch the fight.
Ranma and the Weaponsmaster keep on trading blows. Both of them have a few nicks and scratches on them. Only problem is, the opponent Ranma is up against has a slight 'edge' over him.
Ranma (Thinks): Great She's definitely a werecat And she keeps healing all the damage I manage to cause. I better change my 'game plan'
Ranma then puts away the katana. The Weaponsmaster looks at him curiously.
Weaponsmaster: And what are you doing boy?
Ranma doesn't answer, but keeps on working. Ranma then uses the hidden weapons technique and pulls out a set of leather gloves with titanium rhinestones on the knuckles. He hasn't used them yet, even though he's had them for months. Now's a good a time as any to use them.
Ranma: Let's rock
Ranma then charges at the Weaponsmaster. She charges at Ranma with her sword pointed out in retaliation. Ranma uses a backhand punch with all his strength, and manages to get the sword out of her hands.
Ranma: Now, I'll end this.
Weaponsmaster: WHAT!?
Ranma then does the Katchu Tenshin Amaguriken on the Weaponsmaster, hitting her again and again in the stomach, making her cough up blood into her shawl.
Weaponsmaster (Thinks): Can't breathe!
Without thinking, the Weaponsmaster strikes out at Ranma with her claws, scratching him across the face.
Ranma: GRAH!
Britanny Sheila: RANCHAN!
The Weaponsmaster then jumps away from Ranma. She removes her shawl and breathes deeply. She couldn't breathe through all the blood she had coughed into her shawl. It's at this point they get a good look at her.
Ranma (Mutters): A jagwere Okay No problem
The Weaponsmaster jagwere breathes heavily now. That attack of his took a lot out of her, and would take time for her to get over. She decides to end it all in one shot.
Weaponsmaster: OKAY! That does it! You asked for this
The jagwere sheathes her weapon and gets into a fighting stance. She begins to concentrate on her ki, the smile on her face seems to grow as a large aura of yellow begins to gather around her.
Ranma: Another ki-user?
Weaponsmaster: KINKAJAGA SUISEI!
The Weaponsmaster shoots her hands forward and allows the Golden Jaguar Comet go roaring though the air. One thing goes through Ranma, Britanny, and Sheila's minds.
Ranma, Britanny, Sheila (Think): THAT'S GAR'S ATTACK!
Suddenly, Sheila's eyes widen in fear She realizes who this is.
Sheila (Wide-eyed): No It can't be
Ranma doesn't move in time, too far in awe in seeing another person use Gar's attack. It hits him square in the chest, obliterating the front of his shirt and sending him flying into the wall of another building.
Britanny Sheila: RANCHAN!
Ranma manages to get back to his feet.
Ranma: Okay So you're good I can deal with that.
Weaponsmaster: "Good"? I'm one of the best!
Ranma then concentrates on collecting raw ki, as Master Leep taught him to. He gathers the energy into his fists and releases it in an explosive flurry of attacks.
Ranma: Well, I aim to be the best! GINKA GENKI AMAGURIKEN!
Ranma continues to punch the Weaponsmaster with powerful ki-enhanced punches at super-sonic speeds. Her armor is reduced to nothing and her sword is broken in a matter of moments, and she herself is in into a world of pain. When Ranma is done. She collapses to her knees. It's obvious she's in pain, but she refuses to give up.
Weaponsmaster: You You Grr
Ranma: Um Look lady, I don't like to hurt people. So, how about you give up, okay?
The Weaponsmaster manages to get to her feet, she continues to moves towards Ranma, her broken sword in her hand.
Weaponsmaster: I'll kill you
Ranma shakes his head. This woman is either very delusional, or really has nothing to lose
Ranma: Sigh Why do they have to make things so hard?
Ranma then pulls out his katana again just as she charges at him, Ranma manages to deflect the broken sword out of her hand, and places the sword at the side of her neck.
Ranma: Okay Now will you give up?
Weaponsmaster: Kill me
Ranma: Huh?
Weaponsmaster: Kill me now, or I WILL kill you later
Ranma (Frowns): Look lady, how about you just surrender, and e can just go on with our lives, okay?
Weaponsmaster: Either you kill me now, or I'll make sure I kill your two friends.
Ranma glares at the Weaponsmaster. Threatening him is one thing. Threatening those he loves is another. He steadies the katana in his hand.
Ranma: Fine If that's how you want to do it, so be it!
Ranma holds the katana hi, ready to bring it down on the Weaponsmaster's head. Sheila starts running towards the two.
Sheila: WAIT!
Ranma stops what he was about to do and looks over at Sheila. Sheila grabs onto the Weaponsmaster.
Sheila: Please Ranchan Don't kill her
Ranma: What's wrong Shechan?
Sheila: Please Ranchan Don't kill my mother.
At that point, Ranma, Britanny, and the Weaponsmaster's jaws drop. Sheila continues hugging the Weaponsmaster.
Weaponsmaster: S, Sheila?
Sheila: I missed you mommy
The Weaponsmaster stares at Sheila with a mixture of fear and hope. She tentatively puts her arms around Sheila to hug her back.
Aeila: I I missed you too sweetheart
Tears flow freely from the reunited mother and daughter. Ranma and Britanny watch in awe, unable to form, words for the situation before them.
Gamadore stares at the mirror before him/her. He/she breathes heavily in anger as he/she sees the joy in Aeila's eyes. For the first time in over a decade, his jagwere feels joy.
Gamadore: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gamadore smashes the mirror with his/her fist. He/she retracts his/her fist from the now broken mirror; shards of glass stab into it. Gamadore snarls.
Gamadore: Betray me will you? I will make you pay Aeila I will make ALL of you pay No one double-crosses me No one
An aura of power begins to gather itself around Gamadore. It lets off an unearthly hiss
End Chapter 32
Next Time: Ranma, Britanny, and Sheila hear from Aeila what had happened to her. Then, they go to the main tower in the center of Nira so Ranma can face off in battle against the tenth and FINAL Weaponsmaster. Can Ranma defeat a person who can take the form of almost anything!? This will truly be a battle of "Anything Goes"
Author's note: I'd like to take the time to thank the site Gold Digger 2K Mush. They had a bit of info on Sheila and Gar's mother Aeila. Plus, some really good stories and characters have come from it.
Oh, and, for the name of Sheila and Gar's father, I had to make it up. There is next to nothing on information for their father, except that he was part of the Edge Guard.
