Sorry it took so long I've been having computer problems had to do this at the library.

Author's Notes: I'm not even going to lie I will be using a number of different attacks from different anime because let's be honest with ourselves most of the best attacks we can ever think of were already done.

I do not own Ranma 1/2

Chapter 5: Kazuma vs Ranma!

Three days later Fight location

"Urgh." Nabiki couldn't be more annoyed as she sat at a table just outside the potential blast range for the fight taking bets on the outcome. While she would usually excited on the chance to make money there had been two things that stop that. One was that the people of Nerima as dim as they were had finally started to get some commonsense as in everyone that put money down so far had bet on Ranma to win. And the second and most important was that in all the time she had known Kazuma she knew next to nothing about his fighting abilities just what he could against some low level thugs that even her sister could beat. And a lack of any information only made the people bet even more money on Ranma.

"Are you alright Nabiki?" Kasumi asked as she watched her sister count her money while groaning.

"No sis I'm not because everyone is betting money on Ranma, so if he wins I might actually lose money. It doesn't help that I couldn't get any stats on Kazuma the only thing I have is that he has a build somewhere between Ryoga and Ranma and can either teleport or he can just move that fast." Nabiki explained as she watched her underlings continue to make exchanges. In fact Nabiki was hoping for a double knock since no bet on that she could simply slick away with all the money.

"I mean only one person bet money on him!"

"Who's that?"

"His biggest fan." Nabiki answered as she pointed to the other side of the arena to an excited Azusa jumping up and down holding a banner reading "GO KAZI!" in pink glitter. Beside her was her partner who only looked half interested in the event.

While this was going on another exchange was being had one between the members of the Anything Goes style.

"Now remember Ranma stay fast and loose." Soun said hoping to see Ranma trounce the young man who dare mock both him and the school of Anything Goes.

"Ah don't worry Tendo with the way I trained the boy he'll do just fine." Genma said smugly as he watched his son stretch.

"Don't worry Pop, Mr. Tendo I got this. It's not like this is the first guy I've fought before, and it ain't like I can't beat this guy either." Ranma confidently said as he rose to his feet.

"But Ranma aren't you worried I mean that guy and Shampoo have been gone for three days straight who knows what they could be doing." Akane said with P-chan held snuggly in her arms.

"Ha like he could learn anything in useful in just three days." Ranma nonchalantly claimed seemingly forgetting the fact that he has done exactly that multiple times.

"So any idea on when he's going to get here?" Akane asked looking around the arena.

"Ha he probably ran off scared of the might of Anything Goes!" Soun howled in laughter.

"I don't know dad he seemed pretty serious about this. You know after Cologne pulled him aside at the end." Akane as she looked around the area seeing one side of the area the two Kuno's waited in a line that led to the portable Cat Cafe tent. A few yards away way Ukyo with her own stand and just as many customers.

Just as the crowd was beginning to get restless a strong presence washed over the crowd putting many on edge. Walking through the crowd were two figures one was the amazon known simply as Shampoo the other was of Nerima's newest resident wearing his usual clothing with his hood up.

"Hey Nabs what's up, there's a lot of people here." Kazuma causally greeted as he walked up to the middle Tendo as his amazon friend went to greet her grandmother.

"Yeah its big turnout apparently once word got out that Ranma was fighting a world traveler capable of reversing the flow of a waterfall with the flick of his wrist, well people came running." Nabiki proudly said while writing on some paper.

Noticing the table and all the money being exchanged made Kazuma deadpan. "So what are my odds?"

"25/1." one of Nabiki underlings said offhandedly.

"Well that hurts."

"Welcome to Nerima Kid where you should always expect the unexpected."

"Who are you?"

"These are Kikuko and Ryonami my...friends."

Nodding in understanding Kazuma goes into his pocket pulling out a large wad of yen notes. "Put this on me." he simply said to a wide eyed Nabiki.

"Explain?" a wide eyed Nabiki ordered practically drooling over the money.

"I've won a lot of tournaments money that I've put away and my rents payed up for a while so why not."

"Noted!" one of the henchwomen said grabbing the money.

"Have you even finished packing?" Nabiki asked smirking with a raised an eyebrow.

"No I have not and I admit I am kinda jumping the gun on a lot of things." Kazuma simply responded with a shrug. "Well I'm gonna wait down there call Saotome when he's ready." Kazuma said as he removed his jacket a he jumped down in the massive hole.

"So boss this guy any good?"

"Hmm let's find out."

Later

After about thirty minutes Ranma finally made it to the arena where he was met with the sight of Azusa hugging Kazuma's arm.

"So what took you so long?" Kazuma asked as he affectionately, patted Azusa's head, getting her to giggle as she dangled.

"Oh you know this and that."

After sending Azusa away after receiving a good luck kiss on the cheek Kazuma turned to his opponent. "Whatever so how you want to do this? First to fall, knock-out or a point system."

Looking at his opponent Ranma could only raise an eyebrow. "Knock-out works."

"Alright cool so who's the official?"

"Hey old ghoul you want to be the ref!" Ranma shouted as he ducked under the staff that soared through the air where his head used to be.

"Alright you two the match starts when I give the word got it." the matriarch said only to receive nods between the two.

3!

2!

1!

BEGIN!

Once those left the amazons mouth everything changed while Ranma maintained his usual louse stance and cocky smirk the same could not be said for Kazuma as all joy was lost in his eyes only a deadly focus on his opponent remain.

After about 2 minutes of nothing happening Ranma grew impatient and decided to fall into the classic Saotome quirke talking.

"What's wrong new guy scared? It's okay I can see that I'd be to if I was going up against me to." Ranma's smirk however dropped when he didn't get the response he was looking for. "Well if you aren't coming to me I guess I'll start this off but don't worry I go easy on you."

But before Ranma could do anything an intense pain emerged from his stomach seeing a fisted belonging to his opponent imbedded in it before being blasted into the wall fifty feet behind him creating spider web like cracks in the rocks.

"Holy crap did you see that?"

"No!"

"How did he do that?"

These were some of the few things said throughout the crowd.

"You talk too much." Kazuma said while cracking his knuckles. "So are you ready to get started yet?" Kazuma could only smile in anticipation as Ranma rose to his feet.

"Have it your way, but remember one thing Ranma Saotome doesn't lose."

The Saotome heir began by jumping into the air and delivering a punch he then made it somehow flow into an axe kick by bending backward. Kazuma was able to block the punch and catch the ankle allowing him to toss Ranma across the field.

Readjusting himself in midair Ranma lands on his feet before gesturing Kazuma to come at him. In seconds Kazuma was back in Ranma's zone throwing a number of punches and kicks that Ranma was able to jump over or duck under.

"Take this." Ranma threw a wild haymaker one Kazuma easily dodged only for Ranma to roll on his right heel as he shot out his left foot striking Kazuma's side. Tanking the hit Kazuma grabbed onto the leg and pulled Ranma into punch sending him to the ground.

Raising to his feet Ranma goes into a series of front flips heading toward Kazuma just to jump into the air to deliver a powerful double kick to Kazuma's chest knocking him across the area.

Deciding to capitalize on the downed Martial Artist Ranma extends his arms as a yellow ball began to form. "Double Mōko Takabisha!" the second his opponent made it back to his feet the blasts him dead center pushing him into the rock wall engulfing him in smoke.

Before anyone could say anything a shout erupted from the dust cloud. "Okay that hurt!" and seconds later Kazuma appeared from the smoke shirt partially ripped. "Didn't know you could use chi blasts, nice." he then extended his right arm open palm with his left hand wrapped around the wrist.

"Here's some advice, when it comes to chi blasts..." While Kazuma talked a greyish blue energy began to form a ball in his hand. "...what you need is PURE CHI!" with a roar Kazuma released the ball at the speed of a rocket.

Ranma didn't have time to say a word as he rolled out of the way as the blast soared past him crashing into the wall not only destroying the a large chuck of it but creating a shockwave blasting Ranma back off his feet.

"What was tha..."

"Eyes on your opponent!" Kazuma shouted as he appeared beside Ranma with a kick to the ribs sending him flying.

In the Stands

"So Cologne care to explain what that was?" the middle child of Tendo sisters asked while walking to the portable Nekohanten.

With a tired sigh the amazon matriarch begins to explain. "Rather than give you the hour long explanation I will simply give the short one." Cologne begins drawing all hereby eyes onto her. "For starts there are three forms of chi, emotional the easiest and most dangerous form of chi. While it is easy to use prolonged usage will cause the one using it fall into that emotion more easily. Then there is pure chi strong, powerful, versatile and untainted by emotion which in turn requires more concentration. And finally there's elemental chi everyone has an element that defines them the most and elemental chi allows one to summon it for combat."

Arena Floor

Quickly readjusting himself Ranma lands on his feet eyeing his opponent trying to ignore the pain his body was in. "Alright time for my ace." Ranma charged in throwing a quick chain of combos pushing Kuzuma back.

"Finally on the attack, about time man." Kazuma said with a smile as he continued switching between attacking and blocking. That's when things started to change rather than remain in the same spot Ranma began jumping around using a hit and run tactic causing Kuzuma to spin on his heel in order to defend.

"Okay he's going in a counterclock wise circle so you should be attacking here!" Kazuma thought as he shot out his fist only to hit air. "Ah fuck..."

"Kachū Tenshin Amaguriken!" roared Ranma as he released a barrage of powerful punch to Kazuma's side the last of which knocking him into a skid across the arena. "Not so tough now huh." Ranma smugly said dusting his hands.

Quickly getting to his feet Kazuma charges back into the fight doing a jumping roundhouse kick that Ranma foolishly choose to block. The second the strike landed Ranma felt as if his arm was practically shattered due to the force of the kick. Pushing off him Kazuma gets down low for a leg sweep forcing Ranma into the air before releasing a barrage of punch.

Kazuma's eyes were wide with shock as he watched Ranma dodge every single punch he threw while in mid-air. "How are you dodging like that?"

"Hmm the Saotome Anything Goes Style majors in aerial combat!" Ranma shouted with pride as he jumped a good twenty feet into the air.

"Good to know." Kazuma grabbed a palm sized rock off the ground throwing it at Ranma who again dodged it. "So I guess I'll just wait here." he said before a grin formed on his face as chi began forming in his hand. "Pure chi is amazing." he whispered as he raised his left hand into the air with his palm still open.

Seeing the attack coming Ranma quickly readjusts himself watching as the basketball sized blast soared just past his head. "Missed me!"

"No I didn't! Draco Meteor!" Kazuma closed his open palm causing the blast to explode causing a cluster of smaller chi blasts to rain down on the field. Ranma at first surprised by the attack quickly began dodging the blasted that assaulted the arena not noticing how close he was getting to the ground.

"Now you're in position!" Just as Ranma touched the ground Kazuma appeared before him. "Mubyōshi!" Kazuma shouted as he punched Ranma in the stomach blasting him back into the rock wall behind him before falling face first into the ground.

All throughout the crowd jaws were dropped in surprise, things weren't supposed to be this way they expected just another run of the mill martial artist getting put in their place by Ranma they never expected it to be the opposite.

"Shit this can't end like this." Nabiki whispered to herself at the prospect of Ranma actually losing as the payout to the two people she would have to pay would be ridiculous.

Finally regaining some semblance of sense Akane to the elderly Amazon "Cologne what was that?"

"That my dear was Kazuma special move the Mubyōshi. It is a swift and powerful punch that he apparently he made it by combining the aspects of multiple fighting styles Karate, Jujutsu, Kenpo and Muay Thai. It seems that when thrown it has the effect of getting hit with thousands of powerful punches.

"So what it's just like Ranma's Kachū Tenshin Amaguriken?" Ukyo asked making her way to the group.

"No those are two very different things."

"In what way?"

"Well for one thing Kachū Tenshin Amagurikenisn't actually an attack it is merely a training exercise to improve one's hand speed, were as the Mubyōshi is an attack designed to inflict damage. In a way it could be what the Kachū Tenshin Amaguriken was meant to be."

"Why you no ever Shampoo that Great Grandmother?" the young amazon asked as she stared in awe of the powerful technique already hoping to add it to her own arsenal. In fact between this fight and the three day training with Kazuma. Xian-pu realized she needed to increase her training ten-fold if she wanted to keep up with the two currently fighting not knowing this was the same thought going through of a number of peoples heads.

"Because child I didn't create the technique Kazuma did. Aside for the Splitting Cat Hairs I've only helped him improve his overall abilities."

"Why'd you do that?" Ukyo asked.

"He got really angry when the move didn't do what he thought it would. He was hoping to be able to summon a small army for free labor." Cologne explained before jumping into the arena.

"So wanna call the match?" Kazuma panted holding the side Ranma attacked. "If that guy hit any harder I'd be in real trouble."

With a nod Cologne began the countdown only to stop at the sight of Ranma raising to his feet albeit with a slight stumble.

"Damn you don't go down easy." Kazuma said getting back into his stance.

"Haven't you heard Ranma Saotome doesn't lose!?" Ranma responded getting into an unfamiliar stance. "Looks like I'll have to use that move." He then sprinted forward at Kazuma with a dash.

"Ranma doesn't look so good." Ukyo said in worry as she watched her fiancée struggle to his feet.

"Of course he doesn't this fights been going uphill since it began." Mousse said uncomfortably he like a few knew how strong Kazuma was but believed that once he got beat by Ranma things would set down but with the way things have been going he was no longer so sure.

"Mr. Saotome is there any way he can do to win?" Akane asked as she watched Ranma change stances.

"That's a tough one but if he can do what I think he's gonna do then he might have a chance." as he talked he watched as Ranma run at his opponent.

"Only one last chance." Ranma said getting closer to Kazuma. "Saotome Secret Technique!" he shouted and just as he was in arm's length.

"Fast Break!" he turned tail jumped back onto the arena's edge and ran off.

"Ha that's my boy getting his opponent to follow him so he can find a weakness." Genma laughed as he watched his son.

"That's a great idea Mr. Soatome but why isn't Kazuma following him?" Kasumi asked as she eyed said martial standing in the arena arms up one to block the other attack not moving a muscle. "Oh my, I think he's stunned."

"Don't you worry one bit Kasumi any second now he'll get his bearings and go chancing after that boy of mine. It works every time."

Oh my what's he doing now?"

"HUH?!" everyone questioned as they watched Kazuma after a few seconds regain some sense of control over his body. He then went into his subspace pulling out an extremely large pink hourglass with wings and watched the grains.

"Why isn't he chasing Ranma it worked with Ryoga. His supposed to follow him so Ranma can find a way to beat him!" Akane cried out in surprise.

Nabiki who had decided to join her family. "Well it looks like he's just waiting for something." the middle Tendo leaned over the railing eyeing the stationary martial artist. "What's he thinking about?"

"Okay that enough I'm done." Kazuma thought to himself as he jumped back onto the arena railing. Without a word Kazuma made his way through the parting crowd till he made it to the Tendo group primary to the middle Tendo. "I'll take my money now." he extended his hand to the Tendo.

"Hey the fight isn't over! Ranma's not unconscious, so until one of you cannot fight then the fight continues!" Akane shouted pointing at the martial artist.

"That would be the case unless on the opponent either gets disqualified or runs then whoever is left standing wins." Kazuma calmly said as he gave Akane a sideways glance.

"Young man that is no way to speak to a lady if I were you I'd apologized then go to pursue your opponent." Genma could only nod his head at his sage like wisdom. Choosing to ignore the fact that Kazuma was right.

Kazuma looked at Genma like he had grown a second head. "Why would I do either of those your son ran away and I'm simply pointing out that fact. If someone can't handle the truth they should learn to keep their mouths shut."

"What did you say?!" Akane challenged getting into Kazuma's face.

"Did I stutter your do you talk so loud you've made yourself deaf?"

SLAP was the only sound that echoed in the area as Akane delivers divine justice onto Kazuma's cheek. "You jerk!" Akane shouted with a frown which shifted into a smirk that she actually laid a hand on this powerful martial artist.

"Akane let me ask you a question, you're the heir to your school right?" Kazuma calmly asked with his head down hair obscuring his face.

"Of course I am I the heir to the Tendo style of Anything Goes."

"So you are by all intents a martial artist with both the privileges and trials that come with that position."

"Of course."

"And you've done this before I guessing slapping people when you get upset or annoyed?"
"Mostly that jerk Ranma."

"And no one's ever struck you back?"

"What are you getting at!?"

"Please answer the question?" Kazuma continued to talk quietly. With only a few noticing that he was currently clenching and unclenching his fist.

"I guess so why."

"Well then this is all going to be new to you." Kazuma finished raising his head to show a face of pure anger.

"W-what."

"Don't blink." Were the last words Akane heard as a fist shot out landing its mark on Akane face with enough force to send her soaring through the air the reason she stopped was through the combined efforts of the Kuno siblings with Kodachi wrapping a ribbon to her waist as her brother caught her.

Right after the attack Kazuma quickly caught the flying fist of the now enrage Soun before kneeing him in the stomach and punching him in the face slamming him head first into the ground. He then duck over the flying kick delivered by Genma before grabbing the limb pulling him down and delivering a barrage of punches to his face before sending him flying with an uppercut.

"So are we done?" he asked the crowd who were all to shocked to see this new challenger defeat not one but all of the Anything Goes Martial Artist currently living in Nerima.

Turning back to Nabiki Kazuma began eyeing her suspiciously like this was a situation she knew would happen. Her only response was a shoulder shrug. "So can I have my money now or what?"

"Uh yeah sure." Nabiki said around regaining her poker face as she over two stacks of money knowing now wasn't the time to short change anyone. Kazuma did however make a very important list in Nabiki's book though.

Already knowing who else bet on him he tosses the money over his shoulder into a happy Azusa's arms already thinking about feeding her cute little safe Fleur. With his business done Kazuma toward the crowd making his way out of the area.

"Wait! Kazuma I get you were defending yourself but how could you just hit my little sister like that?" a very sad and disappointed Kasumai asked as she checked on her family.

"I'm only going to explain this once I made a promise to both my master and myself two things. One to not be a bitch that lets anyone just do what they want to me and the second was to always treat others the way they deserve how that turns out depends on the person." Kazuma explained as he began walking only to stop once more.

"And Kasumai didn't you hear Martial arts is gender neutral." And with that Kazuma left the area not knowing both the enemies and the friends he just made.

And Cut

Sorry it took so long I've been having computer problems had to do this at the library.

Authors Note: First off you have to admit that last line was on point. Second it always bothered me that Akane basically could hit any guy in the series and get away scot free. She's actually one of the most messed up characters in a series if you read the manga. I mean Nabiki's bad but at least you can expect it you know. Third Ranma didn't actually "lose" the fight he was just so use to fighting without rules that he simply forgot that this was a real fight.
