Assassin Drones: The original saga
Sex on the beach Arc. De Arimasu!
By Alex Young
Somewhere within the recesses of Furinkan high, 5:50 pm. August 24, 2002
Nabiki casually sauntered her way into the abandoned lower hallways where a demon was said to live within the confines of the secondary school store. The merchandise was still there from musty books and other school supplies, to moldy bread, dead rats, and rotten apple cores. Nabiki wasn't at all turned off by such rumors, in fact she was plenty sure that the old man over the phone conversation she had earlier was within the living quarters nearby.
She held the spiral covered disc in her left hand as she slid open the door with her right. Lo and behold, the presence in the somewhat unkempt living quarters was no demon, but that of the old man instead. The old man had a name; Toramasa Kobayakawa, and Nabiki was more than a little determined to share the contents of Kululu's disc with him.
"Heh, so you're Nibiru-san; the young lady over the damn phone, eh?" Toramasa inquired to have Nabiki reply with a "Do one legged ducks swim in circles?" as she sat down kneeling on the floor in front of him. "In this disc, there's a little something that I want you to take a look at." Nabiki offered as she loaded the disc into her laptop. "It'd better not be a goddamn virus or something." Toramasa spat distrustfully as the footage from Momoka's and Fuyuki's intimate beach moment loaded onto the screen.
"They're way too young for this, and unmarried on top of that." Nabiki advertised to Toramasa, whose initial sneer melted into a grin stretching from ear to ear. "OOOOOH YEAH! THAT'S SOME BLACKMAIL MONEY RIGHT THERE!" Toramasa whooped jumping for joy at this seeing yen signs all around. "Good, because Kulu-san just told me that his associate, Toro-san should begin shipments of these copies tomorrow." Nabiki declared as she took her leave satisfied at Toramasa's now apparent desire to sell these copies out to Furinkan high.
Daikage's Playboy restaurant in Furinkan, 12:00 pm. August 27, 2002
A McLaren F1 longtail supercar had pulled up to the back lot of the restaurant, where both its doors had opened. Fuyuki could be seen in his usual dress clothes, but with one big difference; he wore a brand new carbon fiber dress shirt, along with his white tie, white dress pants, carbon fiber graphic belt, and carbon fiber graphic dress shoes. Momoka also wore a different outfit as she too, emerged from the car; a playboy bunny outfit with white pantyhose sewn in to the navy leotard. As for the car? Nagato was behind the wheel as the courier. Ryosuke was the VIP security detail. "Hmph, I heard that you guys had sex at the beach." Ryosuke inquired.
"W-wait, how did you-" "Word gets out real quick, little man. You must be packing some serious balls to go all out at your age, and on Baio's daughter no less." Ryosuke, the gentle giant remarked respectfully with a smile to back it up as he let our two young VIPs into the restaurant and onto a heart shaped table where they would be seated.
Coincidentally, as we may see, this particular restaurant so happens to be the Daikage cell's base of operations, where the headquarters resides within the office. Daikage also happened to be the restaurant's owner, collecting all the income. They've also been using it as well as the bounty collected from various missions to pay some of the bills, along with some of the equipment, tools, and weapons for their every operation.
"Looks like the sergeant major just can't keep his mouth shut about things of that nature." Fuyuki mused giggling as he wrapped his arm around Momoka's hip. "Yeah, what a loudmouth." She giggled citing how Kululu spread news of their intimate moment like a virus as they took their seats at a table for two. "Hey, you two. How can I take your order?" Nana inquired as she strode up to the table also in a playboy bunny waitress uniform, this time, pink.
"For starters, me and Momoka here would like some pork ramen as a side dish for some New York style steaks, add some coca cola for a drink." Fuyuki requested as Nana jotted it all down in one go, and left the two in peace. Momoka's hair spikes sharpened up before she leaned up and pulled Fuyuki in by the ear. "I gotta wonder as to when that Baio's gonna catch on now that we had sex on the beach and all?" She whispered with a twitchy hint of paranoia.
"I don't know. From what I've heard, the Nishizawa mainframe in Geneva was totally compromised that day by what's rumored to be the very same creature we shot back at the summer's end festival." Fuyuki questioned temporarily reassuring his girlfriend as she returned back to normal. Well, at least a little cold comfort is better than total uncertainty.
"You know? Once I made that commitment and kept my promise to you, I knew right then and there that there was absolutely no turning back. Oh, and once the zygote is ready, we'll work on extracting it from your womb, and place it under cold storage and leave it there until our marriage." Fuyuki proposed not wanting their first child to be born an illegitimate one through what was only the most extreme contraception program ever.
"Okay, I'll take you up on your offer." Momoka replied knowing that she'd rather not get into legal trouble in bearing an illegitimate child. "Not only that, but I am going to have to prove my worth against Baio and Oka as your husband If I am to marry you. Though I could ask my sister to give me a head start in fighting so I can hit the ground running." Fuyuki mused with the idea of asking Natsumi for a little help with martial arts in general.
Ranma of course was leaning against the wall to the front entrance when he once again laid eyes on Fuyuki, who returned his stare. {What the? He's here, too?} Both parties uttered in unison. {He's the guy rumored to have banged her without her parents even knowing about it? If he is, then he's packin some serious balls.} Ranma mused respectfully as he decided to just let it slide for the time being unsure as to the veracity of such rumors. "Here you are." Nana chirped with their lunches as she lowered them onto the table. "Time to dig in!" Fuyuki and Momoka declared salivating a little as they began cutting into their delicious looking meals.
"Ranma Saotome! UNHAND AKANE TENDO FROM THY GRAAAAAAWAWAWAWAAAWawawawwaaaawawawaaawawwawawawaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Kuno screeched with
Ranma blurting out an "Aaah shut up, Kuno!" as he kicked he blue thunder into the clouds. "Ranma Saotome, PREPARE TO DIIIE!" Ryoga snarled charging at Ranma, who counteracted by grabbing his wrist mid punch, following up with a knee to the gut upon using the inertia and momentum to spin 180 degrees. Ranma then pulled down Ryoga's pants and spanked him no less than 4 times pausing every 10 seconds in between spanks. This infuriated and humiliated Ryoga enough to unleash a powerful lion's roar shot on Ranma.
"Shi shi, HOKO..." "Outta my way! Ranma's mine!" Mousse growled pushing Ryoga to the side. "Mousse, you fucking idiot! What do you think you're..." *PAKAPLOOEY!* "...DOOOOIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnggg!" "WAAAAIAIAIAIAAAAUAAUUAUauauauauauaauauauauauauaggh!" Both rivals of Ranma's screeched respectively as they, too were blown into the sky by the misfired lion's roar shot, but in opposite directions, Ryoga to the left, and Mousse to the right.
\Not to worry! The glass you're looking at up front is military grade armored glass!/ Daikage reassured of his patron citing the fact that he would spare no expense when it comes to the integrity of the restaurant's infrastructure. "Damn! What's their problem, today?" Ranma pondered as he resumed his duty of bodyguard for the rest of the day, awaiting an additional payment of $15 for every person who gets their asses kicked by him.
A back alley on the outskirts of Furinkan, 6:00 pm. August 29, 2002
A young child with long hair was casually striding along the darkness, when all of a sudden, several remnant Kurain/Kamui thugs jumped her, strip searching her for any valuables. That, however, was when she unloaded her secret weapon on them all. "Happo 5 yen coin Satsu!" She screamed as the thugs were all drained of energy with the child growing up to become an adult within 10-20 seconds.
"Oops! Looks like I went a little overboard with this one!" The buxom young woman let slip as she flipped the energy laden yen coin into the drained thugs, and turned back into a child again. *WowBOOFFSSH* The resulting explosion from the Happo 5 yen coin bomb shattered windows and set off car alarms within a quarter mile diameter. The little girl simply ignored the explosion as she continued on her merry way.
Somewhere in an underground medical facility in the Nishizawa manor, 2:20 am. September 2, 2002
Momoka and Fuyuki had just arrived into the room with the both of them wearing medical scrubs, except the latter was wearing scrub pants, and the former was not. This was because she was to have an operation to carefully extract the developing child from her womb as she sat down, and eventually laid flat on her back on the operating table. The surgeon was remotely operating a medical robot from the next room separated by concrete with plexiglass at the center. She was already put to sleep as the robot inserted a vibrator into her birthing oraface.
A metal mesh tube at the tip snaked through the birth canal into the womb, where the needle at the tip sucking the undeveloped embryo into the compartment, awaiting transportation. The embryo was then deposited into a vial containing a solution synthesized from wood frog proteins, and tucked into a compact, magnetically cooled cryogenic chamber for storage, ready for careful thawing and reinsertion should she get married. In short, the operation went along very smoothly as their child was tucked away into the genetic archive chamber, where it would be stored for a lengthy time period.
Furinkan high, 7:30 am. The first day of school, 2002
Ranma and Akane were now in their second year of school, and Nabiki, in her penultimate year, each with good, decently paying jobs in their name. The entire student body has never really changed much ever since Kasumi's graduation from Furinkan high. In fact, there was some fresh, new blood flowing within the school building's veins to take the graduates' place.
Ranma can never truly shake the gut feeling within him that Fuyuki will eventually come fully into his life, and vice versa. In fact, that gut feeling had only gotten subtly stronger. As of the present moment, both parties are perfect strangers keeping to themselves as they always did. Kuno blasted his usual, ostentatious display of pure idiocy, which was met with a fist to the face on Ranma's part as he and Akane went on their way to class.
"Hello there class! My name is Miss Hinako Ninomiya, and you'd better not misbehave, or I'll drain you all up!" The child, named Miss Hinako Ninomiya, introduced as she wrote her name on the blackboard for all the students within homeroom to bear witness. {Gotta wonder if the old letch is gonna keep raiding the girls locker room panties now that she's around?} Ranma mused having recalled reading some eye witness accounts of her incredible ability to drain people with 5 yen coins.
He also had been listening to Lazarus conspiracy radio about the new child intern, so Ranma decided that he ought to be mindful of this, and behave to the best of his ability. Nana Otonashi was also a new addition to Furinkan high as a freshman, assigned by Daikage to keep tabs on things with Ranma in the school building, and also to play as another fiancee, much to Akane's annoyance. Of course, Akane dealt with a new fiancee in the one way she knew best; to hit Ranma upside the head, in this case with a mercury fluorescent tube lamp, and walk out on him for the day.
The Kuno Estate, 4:00 pm. The very next day
Nabiki was sauntering along the hallways as she always did after having shown the video at this exact time yesterday to the patriarchs motivating them in saying "Tell me. Wouldn't you want to marry Ranma and Akane before they do this themselves?" Of course, Nabiki has plans on pulling the same stunt on Kuno, hopefully to some explosive results. "Hey, Kuno baby." Nabiki chirped as she walked on up to Kuno's side. "What do you want, Nabiki Tendo?" Kuno queried in a subtly restrained, yet hostile reply.
"Oh, Nothing. Just want you to take a look at this." Nabiki requested as she opened up the laptop to show Kuno the video as she did with Toramasa a couple of weeks before. "Think about it, wouldn't Ranma do this to Akane and your Pig tailed girl after having married them both?" Nabiki egged on of Kuno suggesting possible polygamy on Ranma's part. Nabiki simply left the estate leaving Kuno to think this one over, as well as the directions to get where Ranma supposedly held his "concubines."
"SASUKE SARUGAKURE!" Kuno brashly burst forth breaking an hour's worth of utter silence. "TELL MOUSSE AND RYOGA HIBIKI THAT I, TATEWAKI KUNO, BLUE THUNDER OF FURINKAN HIGH, DOTH HEREBY CALL AN EMERGENCY GENTLEMAN'S MEETING WITHIN THE CONFINES OF MINE ROOM, IMMEDIATELY!" "Y-Yes master Kuno." Sasuke replied as he phoned Ryoga and Mousse about it all, with the both of them fashionably late as usual. "Gentlemen? Do the both of you know why I've called such a meeting?" Kuno inquired of his compatriots
"Don't tell me, Ranma?" "Ranma's been at it again with Akane, isn't he" Mousse and Ryoga replied to Kuno's query worried about their respective love interests. "Correct, I fear that Ranma Saotome may be withholding Akane Tendo and the Pig tailed girl, as well as Shampoo, in this location." Kuno decreed showing the map showing where to go from the Kuno estate to, oddly enough, the Hinata residence!
Why of all places would Ranma be hiding his "concubines" in there? "Whatever the case may be, 'TIS UP TO US TO STOP RANMA SAOTOME'S VILE SCHEME DEAD IN ITS VERY TRACKS! " Kuno boomed as he, Ryoga, and Mousse set off for the Hinata household, leaving Sasuke behind to watch the estate.
Natsumi's old route home from Kissho Junior High school, 2:35 pm. September 10, 2002
Natsumi was walking her old route home after she had grown confident enough that Fuyuki could handle himself with Momoka in the midst of all the rumors. Word gets out quick, but not too quickly that Natsumi would really be worried for her little brother's life. She was in her winter uniform, complete with white long sleeve dress shirt, red neck tie, and gray knee length pleated skirt, all minus the sage green jacket. Natsumi was smiling and minding her own business when she spotted an extremely morose Ryoga leaning against a chain link fence.
"Now where am I?" The lost boy bemused as Natsumi jogged up to his side. "Hey there, what're you doing here? I'm Natsumi." She asked of him casually. "H-Hi there, I'm Ryoga Hibiki, and I'm looking around for the location with the yellow spiral on the map and I was just wondering if you would show me the way." Ryoga requested as Natsumi was angry not with him, but with Kululu.
"That Kululu can't keep his mouth shut for the life of him, can he?" Natsumi hissed predatorily in Ryoga's ear. "Listen, I know I'n not supposed to tell you about this, but seeing as how Kululu has a big mouth, I want you to kick his ass to shut him up, and if you have any friends, have them join in!" Natsumi urged of Ryoga as she dragged him by the wrist on her way home.
"Hey, sis. What're you mad about-" "It's Kululu! He can't keep his mouth shut for shit!" "Oh, right." The Hinata siblings conversed with neither Kuno nor Mousse within the vicinity. It was right then and there that Ryoga had realized something; in his getting lost and all, he was way out ahead of the both of them! "Hello there, Ryoga Hibiki. I suspect that your lady friend brought you here into this household, correct?" Kuno breezed. "Y-Yes. Her name's Natsumi, and she asked that I kick this 'Kululu's' ass for her as well."
"A MINION OF RANMA SAOTOME!?" Kuno screeched. "Why didn't you say so in the first place, then?" Mousse inquired with a devilish smile. "Let's just say I never knew that there were frog aliens with this house until now." Ryoga replied. "Come, gentlemen! Let us smite these frog demons AND Ranma Saotome, together!" Kuno declared as all three rushed into Keroro's room to get sucked in by the fridge all the way into Keroro's A.R.M.P.I.T. base. All that, after having beaten Keroro himself to a pulp along the way.
"Mister Sergeant! Are you alright?" Tamama panicked concerned for the safety of his amphibian idol. "I-It's nothing, Tamama. Now GET OUT THERE AND TEACH ALL THREE OF THEM A LESSON FOR WHAT THEY DID TO MY GUNDAM MODELS, That's an order!" The sarge then exhorted of Tamama, who procured a sinister, if not carnivorous grin in reply as he ran off after Kuno and company under his leader's orders.
"Keeeerokerokerokerokerorincho! They have no idea that I can still activate my base's security system remotely at the click of my kero ball." Keroro then hissed as he fired up his personal computer and authenticated the system activation protocol with a simple button combination of his kero ball. Within a matter of mere seconds, Kuno's goal of defeating Ranma Saotome and rescuing the "concubines" became a whole lot harder than when he came in, not that he cared very much seeing as how he along with his compatriots have gotten all too used to fighting losing battles.
Kuno was the first to charge forth into the fray, and to meet his opponent; Lance Corporal Dororo. "Forgive me, but I'm under strict orders not to let you interfere with our invasion!" Dororo declared curtly equipped with two, nano composite, retractable spears that employ the same high frequency technology developed and utilized during the third and fourth mechadrone wars respectively. Dororo was also clad in a navy blue ninja costume, minus the sleeves.
"MYAA-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!" Kuno burst forth opening up with his rapid fire sword thrust on Dororo, and then switching to swinging it around like a madman, slicing into a few andromeda space huskies. Kuno then used his thermobaric rapid fire sword thrust technique on Dororo machine gunning the landscape with fiery pressure waves literally setting half of the entire vehicle deployment bay ablaze in the process, and ultimately defeating Dororo.
In another area, Royga was getting himself lost as usual plowing right through walls when gunfire zoomed past him from his right. It was Giroro, and he was definitely pissed right off with Ryoga. "I won't forgive you for what you were doing with Natsumi!" Giroro snarled as he, along with Tamama, rushed right into Ryoga's warpath. "Bakusai tenkestu!" Ryoga countered as he struck the floor in front of him, and blew it up in both frogs' faces.
"TAMAMA IMPACT!" "SHI SHI HOKODAN!" Tamama and Ryoga both screeched as their respective wave shots collided and exploded. Ryoga slammed Tamama with a vicious uppercut, and Giroro with a devastating heel kick. More androids and security bots overwhelmed the lost boy as he blew his way past them all, with Tamama and Giroro in hot pursuit. Ryoga did eventually defeat the both of them as well by tossing an ED-209 robot their way, and blasting the wreckage with a lion's roar wave shot.
Mousse, more or less, was in a parallel access bridge corridor to the one Gial damaged during his time inside the base. Mousse sliced open the ceiling with a chainsaw, and grapple hook bungee jumped his way over to the corridor undergoing repairs. It was simply a matter of slicing a few cables into pieces in order to get in to the corridor leading to Kululu's computer room. Upon arrival into what looked like Kululu's computer room, Mousse deployed a steel ball with a chain in one hand, and a pair of razor tipped nunchuks in the other hand. This was when Tachikulu 2.0 dropped in like the last time, leaner, meaner, and much deadlier than the unit it replaced.
There was another feature that Tachikulu 1.0 did not; autonomy, because it was derived from research based on Kululu's observations during his explorative surgery on Gial. Its head was about the same as Gial's, except with a rebreather mask over it for added fear factor. Mousse was not at all intimidated by any of that as he leapt up into the air and tossed his chain attached weapons attack on Tachikulu 2.0. Mousse then swung the steel ball onto the head, slicing into the body upon landing on it with his nunchuks, and inevitably, the personality core that powered it. Tachikulu 2.0 was dropped dead within 20 seconds of deployment. Talk about a short life span, or maybe not, as we shall see.
Upon a rather sudden realization that the room was actually an elevator lobby, Mousse walked in to the elevator, to find that the floor was actually a trap door, and Mousse just dropped into the lower few floors, coincidentally reuniting with Kuno and Ryoga. "I believe that this next room may be where Ranma Saotome is hiding with his concubines. Let us sally forth, gentlemen, and destroy Ranma Saotome once and for all!" Kuno decreed as he slashed the door open with his ridiculously sharp bokken to witness Ranko, Akane, and Shampoo all sitting in a row trapped in steel chairs.
However, none of the three concubines are as they seem, as Kuno and company would figure out the hard way. All three would have their eyes glow in blood red, as did the sailor androids before. In fact they were androids themselves as they were lifted by individual robotic arms to stare down at Kuno, Ryoga, and Mousse. This was the moment that one barefoot Ranma Saotome would make his appearance with eyes overshadowed and clad in a black tank top with black pants to give a much more threatening appearance than Kuno remembered.
"Target designation complete, ATTACK AND DESTROY!" A much more robotic sounding Ranma screeched descending upon the three martial arts musketeers as they split off to engage him in hand to hand combat. Ranma knocked all three of them down at once within seconds. Kuno was the first to get up, letting Ranma close in so that his bokken would slash his opponent open, which it did. Odd, that wasn't supposed to happen.
Kuno immediately began thinking that he had befallen the bane of his very existence all year long, but he was actually in for the biggest shock of his life; the Ranma he and his buddies were fighting really wasn't Ranma at all, but rather an android made to look like, even outperform the original Ranma in every way, shape, and form possible.
Robo-Ranma's upper body stood on the palms of its hands separated from its lower body, but this would not be the case for long. More amazing still is that martial arts might seem to be the only thing Robo-Ranma is capable of when its not, as the upper and lower bodies rejoined with black mechadrone silk fiber tendrils whipping about and hooking up to each other.
Suddenly, a pair of high pressure vortex guns, one on each fist, opened fire from Robo-Ranma on Kuno, with Ryoga and Mousse rushing to his aid. Mousse dove in from behind to launch several naginatas at the android, who dodged rotating in place in the air when Ryoga cried "SHI SHI HOKODAAAAN!" and opened fire at the same time.
Robo-Ranma blasted back with a beam weapon of its own to match the lion's roar shot in intensity as Kuno quickly thrust his bokken up its robotic ass, and swung downward. Ouch! Talk about a terminal bad back, but that didn't slow down Robo-Ranma as he inhumanly contorted his entire biomechanical body to land a head butt on Kuno, temporarily blinding him.
Just then, Kuno realized something else as he looked up into the ceiling of the cylindrical room with a convex floor on the inside. "I think I understand why we're hard pressed to defeat this mechanical impostor of Ranma Saotome." He stated as he dodge a punch from Robo-Ranma. "Well what is it? Hyaa." Ryoga replied as he also dodged a hit from Robo-Ranma. "I believe that Akane Tendo, Shampoo, and the pig tailed girl up at the ceiling, are sensory androids." Kuno then elucidated as Mousse blocked a kick from Robo-Ranma with a Spartan sheild.
"In other words, we should really be attacking them instead, as they are this 'Robo-Ranma's' eyes and ears." Mousse then tacked on as he thrust his xiphos sword at Robo-Ranma. "PRECISELY!" Kuno decreed as he, along with Ryoga and Mousse leapt up the cylindrical wall and nearly destroyed the three sensory androids that were tracking their every moves for Robo-Ranma.
Alas, Sergeant Major Kululu had but one last little trick up his amphibian sleeve. "Kuuuukukukukuuuu! Well done, Pekoponians. Well done, but I was only just getting warmed up. Clicky-poo!" Kululu sniggered as he pressed the button to reactivate Tachikulu 2.0 with a brand new, recently installed personality core. Tachikulu 2.0 screamed down the elevator as Robo-Ranma took flight for a second with its skin peeling off of its body revealing its true form as a mechadrone separating body from limbs and fusing them with Tachikulu 2.0.
The three sensory mechadrones also transformed and fused into Tachikulu 2.0, with the left and right extremities connecting with two of them, while the third landed right on top of the biomechanical monstrosity. Finally, a detaching tail section, along with two internal weapons bays, joined together with the rest of the body to create Scorpius X Gunship! The convex floor opened up to reveal flat, train car like platforms before they began to move. "THIS IS IT! THE FINAL BATTLE!" Giroro screeched as he, Dororo, and Tamama stood on the car ahead of the three martial artists, with Scorpius X Gunship closing in on the latter group from behind.
"IT'S ON NOW, YOU CREEPS!" Ryoga screeched back unloading a lion's roar shot on the amphibian threesome as they retreated when the platform the martial artists were standing began to take flight with four independent Gauss rocket engines! The tunnel ceiling began to open up to reveal that they were in a heavily forested area, and that the train engine was part of a maglev monorail based a launch system. If anyone was paying attention, they'd have noticed that the tail section was actually the Ouroboros, back with a vengeance! It didn't take very long for the tail mounted laser to charge up and destroy the platform, essentially defeating the martial artists without killing them.
Kululu arrived on all 3 crash sites to erase the martial artist's memories of that incident. However, Scorpius X Gunship did not help Kululu defeat the martial artists without attracting the attention of a squadron of 4 American YF-41 Mantises and a flight of 16 Russian MiG-38 Shredders conducting joint flight testing exercises. All that, along with what is essentially a Japanese version of the F-22 Raptor, dubbed the Kawasaki Ki-2000 Tetsuryu, although it looked more like the YF-23 Black Widow of yesteryear. What's more was that the Mantises had their own antibarriers deployed, as well as a sort of A.E.S.A. (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar that can also see through antibarriers.
All that meant that Scorpius X Gunship had no choice but to defend itself as Kululu retreated back to base, which it did rather efficiently as a stark reminder that it was now a shooting battle. Scorpius X Gunship unloaded 4x super cooled cyclical rail guns, 2x on each side of the body, and shot down several Shredders, forcing them to fire some archer 11 missiles at it before retreating leaving the 4 Mantises and the 6 Tetsuryus to engage Scorpius X Gunship.
The missiles defeated Scorpius X Gunship's antibarrier, and damaging the reactive-adaptive plasma armor. Scorpius X Gunship blasted back with 8x micro-shotgun rockets at the remaining MiGs before they kicked in their afterburners, and gave one Mantis an opportunity to unload not one, but two M191 cyclical cannons on the keronian super gunship, one mounted on each side.
However, the killing blow would not come from the Mantises, nor from the Tetsuryus, but from an AIM-94 Taipan launched from an experimental, supersonic, manned helicopter gunship. The gunship itself looked like the colonial marine transport from Aliens, one equipped with the less advanced and less compact Pratt and Whitney F119 PW100 turbofans along with 6 rotor blades, and two vented gyro turbine discs on each tail wing, but has all the speed and agility necessary to qualify as a dogfighter.
The exhaust was magnetically cooled, adding to its already stealthy design package, complete with angled surfaces. The gunship also had a nose mounted M-61 20mm cyclical cannon, as well as 8x AIM-94 Taipans, and 6x Suzumebachi micro salvo rocket pods, both stored internally for stealth. The gunship also had a name; the Lockheed Martin/Sikorsky AH-91A Blue Devil.
The alien gunship came crashing down in flames into the forest, forcing EX.W.A.T.I. cleanup crews to put out the fire, which they did quickly and efficiently with several FV-22 Firehawk tiltrotor fire disposal craft. Cleanup was also aided by a sky crane version known as the UV-22 Eagle Owl, several of which lifted the wreckage up as it was torn apart piece by hefty piece. Any alien technology that could be recovered, was within a matter of minutes.
All the wreckage was to be shipped off to one of many underground fission/fusion reactors all around the world via the TransLoDefCom network, all to be broken down into individual subatomic particles for reuse. Most of the energy generated by this gets converted into electricity going into powering the reaction processes themselves. This was considered to be a truly efficient recycling process considering the many, on site and off site subatomic and atomic assembly facilities rely on them. In short, along with all the chemical neutralizers and replanting, it would all be as though it never happened.
Back at the Kuno estate, 8:00 pm
"Mmmmhmm, Sasuke. Where am I? Last I remember, me and my compatriots were fighting Ranma Saotome together, it all felt so real, even as a dream!" Kuno elucidated as he came to with Sasuke by his side. He was just starting to get his memories back, along with Ryoga and Mousse, both of whom were also coming to. "Hey, Kuno! I was jus wonderin when you were gonna..."
"Ranma Saotome, COME BACK I SAY!" *Krikrak!* "GUOOUAAGGH!" Kuno pained still recovering from his fall as Ranma made his exit. "Master Kuno, You must stay in bed!" Sasuke commanded of Kuno, who complied begrudgingly as his servant rushed to get some medicine for him, thereby letting Ranma live to die another day.
Back outside, Ranma was strolling along on his way home recalling hearing of how some campers set off a wildfire at the local park. "Yo, Master Jirara." Ranma piped up upon glancing at Jirara leaning against the dojo wall. "Well, I heard that those three idiots must have found Zeroro somewhere, but my priority as of now is pass my knowledge of assassin magic over to you, Ranma." He replied as Ranma simply strode in to brush his teeth, and tuck himself into bed, ready to face yet another day.
