Honor Restored Written By Leonardo Castro Can things be changed? Can things be altered? Can fate be avoided and destiny achieved? Can one person make difference? Man forever asks those questions. If the answer is yes or no, is up to the individual to decide. Story – Chapter One Ranma woke to the sounds of combat. He stood up and went to the window of the guestroom. Oh, it was only Katsuhito and Happosai fighting over an unconscious girl that looked like Tenchi. Ranma was about to back to his futon when he realized what he saw. He hopped into his Chinese clothes and ran to his brother, son, and nephew. He woke up Nobuyuki, Genma, and Ryoga. “What?” All three groaned. They were all tired and wanted some more sleep. It was a Saotome trait. “You three, protect the women from Happosai incase he gets past me. And that’s a order as your sensei.” Ranma said in a firm tone that brooks no room for error. “Happosai?” Both Nobuyuki and Ryoga said as the hopped into more outside clothing. Genma thought for a little while. “You don’t mean that little pervert that claimed to be the Grandmaster of our Art. He was very old then, he must have died now, right?” Genma looked at his older brother. “Nevermind.” Genma said as he looked at his older brother’s youthful appearance. “What going on? Who is this Happosai?” The youngest Saotome asked. “One the most oldest and evil perverts of Japan.” Ranma jumped out the window. Genma and Nobuyuki ran down stairs while Ryoga ran to guard the door to his mother and aunt’s room. “Soun. What’s wrong with you.” Genma asked. Soun was currently cowering under a table. Genma didn’t know Soun that well. They met in a bar. Actually in a bar fight. But then they became friends. He knew Soun and some other poor soul was trained by Happosai (Stupidly, Genma added silently) in the art of Anything Goes. Actually more like the art of Panty thief, but he didn’t want to insult someone’s teaching style. Regardless how stupid it is. How can Happosai make a grown man cower like that? Genma knew he was lucky that Ranma taught him Anything Goes, or who knows what kind of person he might have became if he tried to learn from Happosai. “So Ranma. We meet again. Now, I’ll have revenge. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.” Happosai went into rant about how horrible it was to be locked up in an American base. Only men around, how rarely he saw a woman. After ten minutes of ranting, Katsuhito and Ranma were asleep. “Hey. WAKE UP. THIS IS A FIGHT.” Happosai screamed in outrage. “Right. Okay, let’s go.” Ranma yawned as he got up. Katsuhito started to wake up as well. Ranma charged Happosai at super sonic speeds. Before Happosai could move Ranma slammed his fist into Happosai’s gut and then quickly uppercut the pervert. Happosai flew into the wall. Happosai kicked off the wall and threw a bomb at Ranma only to have Ranma to swat it back at him. The bomb exploded and sent back Happosai to the wall. Happosai was embedded a good inch deep. Happosai threw himself at Ranma again only for Ranma to kick him into the wall. Happosai then change his plan of attack, and attacked Katsuhito. Happosai was awarded with a bokken slamming into his shoulder and then getting the butt of the bokken in the gut. The Ranma leapt in and side kicked Happosai in the head. The ancient pervert hit into the wall and slowly stood up. Ranma looked bored. “Come on old man, give in.” Ranma said. “It just the beginning, boys. I’ll beat you both yet. I will reclaim my title as Grandmaster.” “But first, here. The same gift I gave the young boy.” Happosai said as he tossed a bomb at Ranma. Ranma went to slap it back. Only when his hand made contact did Ranma learned his error. It was made of thin rubber. It was a water balloon. A high pitch female scream of outrage echoed out through Nerima. At that point, Genma ran out of the house. There he saw a beautiful red headed girl slammed Happosai’s head into the wall. Then she gave ten swift kicks in a place no male like getting hit. Then she began slamming Happosai into the ground. Then she stomped twenty times we no man wanted to get hurt. Finally, she punted him away. Genma looked around and saw Katsuhito trying to help a girl that looked like Tenchi. Then he looked towards the red head and noticed that she looked like Ranma. Then the red head looked at Genma. “Brother, I need hot water now.” “It not that bad uncle. I got used to turning into a girl.” Ryoga said as he patted Ranma on the back. “Yeah. It could be worse. I could turn into a pig.” Ranma said. “Hmmm. I’ll hate to be the person who becomes a pig.” Ryoga said. Ranma just chuckled to herself. “Here’s the hot water Dear.” Kasumi said as she poured the hot water. “I’ll kill that pervert. How dare he change my Ranma into a girl.” Akane fumed. She was planning to have a stuffed Happosai head over the mantel. “Well Akane, you can drop out of the running if you want.” Nabiki said. Although Nabiki doubt it because Akane always say she didn’t like boys. This probably make Akane want Ranma even more. “I wouldn’t drop out the contest out of something so small. Ranma we’ll be mine dear sister.” Akane looked at Nabiki as her eyes narrowed. Then they both glared at each other. They look like they were going to fight right there and then, or at least that how it looked to Ranma. “Hey, Nabiki, do you still practice martial arts.” Ranma asked. Clearly all the Tendo daughters were effected by their Mother survival. “Of course Ranma. I also wanted stop training for awhile, but mommy managed to get me to keep on training.” Nabiki said. “And I’m much better than Akane.” She added on after. “Only because I won’t hurt you too much.” Akane sneered. Okay, maybe Kumiko surviving effected them greatly. Will Kasumi be the same loving and peaceful person she always been. Ranma started to have doubts. “Hey, can I see how good you guys are.” Ryoga asked. Seeing this was a way to prove themselves to Ranma, Nabiki and Akane agreed to the idea. Ranma wasn’t surprise that the Tendo Dojo hasn’t change a bit. Except there was a first aid kit attached to one of the walls. Or that there were rackets where the morning and afternoon students put their things. Okay, so it has changed a bit. Akane in her yellow gi, and Nabiki in a purple gi, faced each other in the center of the dojo. Soun signal for them to begin. Akane lunged at Nabiki and threw an uppercut. Nabiki dodged to the left and kneed Akane in the gut. Akane doubled over and landed on her back. At first, Ranma thought Akane lost, but to his surprise, Akane instantly rolled backwards and on to her feet. Akane lunged at Nabiki and threw a series of jabs to her sister’s torso and head. Nabiki easily batted away each attack with her hands and then tried to sidekick Akane. Akane leapt over the attack easily and returned with a hook kick. Nabiki took it in the jaw and she stumbled back, but did not fall. “Point to you sis.” Nabiki said with her eyes narrowing. Then both combatant burst into motion. Akane threw several punches, then a kick, and finished with an elbow. Nabiki dodged effortlessly. Than Nabiki countered with a sweep that connected. Akane did a cartwheel and regained her balance. Akane led with an assault of punches, but Nabiki countered perfectly with a hook and an uppercut. Akane blocked the hook, but the uppercut sent her flying into a wall. Akane slowly got up to her knees. “Good one sis.” Akane stood up and fell into a loose stance. The fight has only just begun. To be continued… Praise me or burn me…but at least tell me what on your mind.
