BERSERKER - HOPES
- - - - - - -
By the time I finally got my tears ducts under control, I mentally swore to make like Kentaro Oe from that Golden Boy anime the girls made me watch. Sure, the story was good, and Kentaro's motto that "life is learning" is pretty accurate, but the nudity was a little much for me. Especially that biker girl... Kami-sama above, help me.
I just liked the whole notebook idea. I swore that, on our shopping trip today, that I'd get one and make some notes on all the things I've learned lately. Let's go through a mental list... nah, maybe I'll wait until I get the notebook.
I sniffed loudly to hold back more tears, slowly forcing myself back to my feet. The girls helped me back inside. "Heh, pathetic, isn't it? I'm supposed to be protecting you girls, but I can't when I get a little action... Guess I'm not much of a guardian, am I?" I could feel tears leaking through the corners of my eyes. Dammit, I don't want to cry again!!
"Ranma, you're a wonderful guardian." Crystal began. "You seem to think you're useless because you lost one little fight. Ranma, you have the power to protect us, you just barely know how to tap into your abilities."
"Barely? But I can already break the sound barrier!"
"That's only with your power ring. The original Sonic the Hedgehog could break the sound barrier without it. Your girl form is faster than your male form, isn't it?" I slowly shook my head. I was crying, I know, but I didn't care anymore for some reason. I was pleasantly surprised when I felt a hand on my face, tilting my face upward before Crystal's lips met mine.
Her lips tasted like orange and cream mixed together, a sweet taste that filled my senses and left me gasping. And I thought Tikal was a great kisser!
A name came to mind, and an image of a rabbit with a small, blue... THING with pink wings and a yellow... SOMETHING floating at her side. "Cream... but..."
"No buts." Cream continued, a smile at having finally been remembered. "Your girl form has always been faster, even when you hadn't awakened to your powers. I'd say, with your power ring, your girl form could move as fast as the speed of light. Any faster, and you risk breaking the time barrier."
"That's far from useless, Ranma... Right now, you've only scratched the surface of your abilities. But if Ryouga can mix techniques like that, maybe you can mix your own with those you learned as Sonic." She poked me on the nose, myself staring at the smiling girl the whole time. The other girls were silent the whole time, which surprised me.
I sniffed once more... looked up... and smiled as best as I could at the moment, which was still rather weak. "Maybe I could even finally figure out his move, that Bakusai Tenketsu."
"There you go. Just hold onto some hope, and you can beat anything!" "Beautiful speech, girl." "I agree." "Go, Crystal!!" Which was promptly followed by Amy jumping the girl with full intent of some good old shoujo-ai content: lesbian makeout session.
"Whoa!" There was a little whistling and a few calls to the girls, which brought me to promptly break the two up, but I think the girls had fun with it, even Virginia, who seemed rather uneasy about subjects like lesbianism.
"Shall we go shopping, girls?" I asked.
"You're gonna stay a girl today, Ranma-CHAN?" I get this feeling she added "-chan" to make it apparent what she was thinking. You can take a guess who asked.
"Sure, why not? I need some clothes anyways... I think you and Cream've been waiting for a date or two long enough. And I just get this feeling you'd prefer me being a girl for the event." There was some more whistling, which brought a laugh from me.
We went inside to get ready, though not before we held a "bare as you dare" contest. Cream seemed highly excited about finding out I, yes indeed, am a natural redhead.
- - - - - - -
"Come on, Ranma-chan, come out already!" After an afternoon of getting a tan and shopping, this was where I was, in an outfit Kale had chosen for me for my date with Cream. Personally, we think Cream will love it. Now that I look at it, though, I begin to wonder...
"No, I don't want to! I look so weird in this..." The outfit consisted of a red, sleeveless top made out of silk, with no ties or anything indicating a style, a blackish-red skirt with solid black belts connected to the fabric at angles, and solid black boots that shone in the light, and made me seem at least three inches taller. All in all, it was a very cute outfit, but I don't know if I REALLY wanted to be cute...
"Come on, you've kept me waiting long enough."
"Please, Kale, I look really awkward in this..."
"Please let me in then. No need to let anyone else see, but you PROMISED." I slowly sighed and turned to the curtain, flattening myself against the wall as best as I could before I opened the curtain enough to let Kale in, but let no one see me.
Kale was immediately all smiles. "Oh, you're so pretty!! Cream'll love that outfit on you."
"That's what I'm afraid of. If she likes it too much, I might not be returning home tonight."
"Not so. I made Cream promise she'd bring you home tonight. Besides, don't you have that metal guy problem still going around? Do you think he sent Ryouga?" I stopped for a few moments, changing out of the outift after closing the curtain. Slowly, I started getting back into my own clothes.
Kale and I came to a simple agreement, that Ryouga was normally a berserker. Of course, we also came to the decision that I HAD to get the outfit I was trying on. Thus, we snuck it to the front and paid for it. We left soon after that, with Kale carrying the bag so no one would think that I got something special for my date with Cream.
"Hey, what's that?" I slowly looked up to find myself face to face with a dark red blur. Without hesitation, I leapt to the side, avoiding the blurring slash of metalic claws.
"So, finally decided to show yourself, did you? Well then, let's go, you ass!!"
I tried to kill the pain but only brought more (so much more)
The first leap was only half-hearted on the part of the red robot, with its dark red dreadlocks and white metal claws. The first trade of blows went by in a flash, leaving me with a few marks and the robot unhurt. As one of the shoulders of my borrowed tanktop ripped in a few spots, my hand quickly moving to the spot. "Interesting... Guess I'll get to try and put my speed to the real test."
I lay dying and I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
My legs were a superfast blur as I shot towards my opponent, Mecha Knuckles moving in at half my speed for another trade of blows. This time, Knuckles had a number of dents in its armor while only my tanktop shoulder was ripped off my shoulder. Only one strap kept me from flashing everyone. Of course, I did have a bra the girls had forced me to wear, but still...
I'm dying praying bleeding and screaming
I let my opponent initiate the next trade of blows, dodging between blows that would otherwise level me to the ground. With each dodge, I waited for an opening. Eventually, I broke away from Mecha for a moment, long enough to close the distance and level Mecha with a good kick to the face.
am I too lost to be saved?
I was upon Mecha in less than a second, leaping up to land on top of Mecha's head, teetering for a few moments before starting to stomp. With my newfound running speed, every stomp on Mecha's face came like a lightning bolt and threatened to impound its face.
am I too lost?
One of Mecha's arms pulled back into its body, bringing out a large hammer that caught me around the midsection. With several coughs as I attempted to get the air back in my lungs, Mecha was upon me before I could get back to my feet. A quick Mouko Takabisha burst at point blank range fixed that.
my God my tourniquet return to me salvation!
As I stumbled back to her feet, I scanned the area around me. Mecha was nowhere in sight, and it greatly worried me. I turned back to the girls after a few moments, thinking the metal being had run off. I was sourly mistaken.
my God my tourniquet return to me salvation!
"HEY!!!" Came the call of several girls as they moved to help me. "Leave this to me!!" I called back, twisting my body about to turn my body and slam my leg into Mecha's face once again. This was quickly followed by a three hit combo when I pounced on top of the creature.
do you remember me?
lost for so long (for so long)
My final strike was a quick "KACHUU TENSHIN AMAGURIKEN!!!!", followed immediately by a few hundred blows. As I was punching, I slowly began to delve into the depths of her being, trying to call upon more power.
will you be on the other side?
or will you forget me?
A spark of power erupted from my body as my hair flashed silver for just a millisecond and I think I seemed to erupt into a golden aura. Of course, just as quickly as the moment came, it was gone.
I'm dying praying bleeding and screaming
I delved into the power of my past life, pulling all that speed and power that lay dorment into my body. I barely noticed as the pattern of my punches shifted and my speed greatly increased. I was too busy wailing on Mecha to notice. Of course, when Mecha went flying as my power reached a certain pinnicle, I immediately stopped. "Ara..."
am I too lost to be saved?
Slowly, a smile burst on my face as I hit my speed, for a second almost breaking the sound barrier as I hit breakneck speeds. Mecha got to its feet quickly enough, one of its arms seemingly unfunctional, and inspiration struck once more.
am I too lost?
"ROCK!!" My fist struck Mecha's, stopping its attacks. "SCISSORS!!" Two fingers quickly struck Mecha's visual units, it's eyes. By the sparks that erupted from the eyes, I figured they were also disabled. "PAPER!!!" And a flat hand strike sent Mecha flying once again.
my God my tourniquet return to me salvation!
I panted as I sweat away most of my exhaustion, watching where the robot had fallen before starting to mutter. "I got you now... don't get up..." There was silence for several moments.
my God my tourniquet return to me salvation!
"Don't you DARE get up..." I panted as I slowly straightened up. Unfortunately, Mecha slowly began to rise as well. INFRARED SCANNER ACTIVATED, BATTLE LIMITER DEACTIVATED
return to me salvation...
For such a damaged unit, Mecha's next attack was almost blinding to me, as it's attacks struck me time after time, that I had a hard time counting every hard blow that knocked into me. Sometime during the onslaught of blows, the other shoulder of my tanktop was ripped off, just seconds before Mecha's claws dove into the flesh of my shoulder.
I WANT TO DIE!!
I screamed instantly, then screamed again when Mecha grasped one of my breasts, threatening to rip it from my chest. My first anger filled blow leveled Mecha back to the ground. I was back upon Mecha in moments, filing back into my supersonic Amaguriken attack.
my God my tourniquet return to me salvation!
I quickly raised my arm into the air, bursting my ki around it in the form of a sword, and I immediately brought it down. Two slashes took the robots arms, sheering them off from the joints to disable Mecha for the last time.
my God my tourniquet return to me salvation!
Another scream erupted from me as my arm flashed once again into a golden aura, my fist coming down and taking off the robot's head. Slowly, I continued beating on it until the robot lay in a pile of scrap metal.
my wounds cry for the grave
Pain...
my soul cries for deliverence
Fear...
will I be denied?
Hope...
Christ!
Tourniquet!
my suicide...
"ARGH!!!!" And a large chi burst blew Mecha's remains to smithereens, leaving me alone on the ground among the remains of my opponent.
return to me salvation...
Tears...
return to my salvation...
And I cried for myself, for my friends, and for my pain. For my scattered hopes, and for my fears. I cried for my rivals, I cried for my fiances, and I cried for my lovers.
Sleep was my only escape from my fears, as they consumed me and the darkness of void of slumber claimed me. I was spent, I thought, and I prayed to the gods for just one day to heal and recover as I fell to slumber.
The gods answered.

Castlevania?

Let me know in your reviews. The crossover that gets the most votes is Book 2.
