Some time back, I wrote the first part of a fanfic entitled "War of the Ranmas" (You can find it in the RAAC and TASS archives). However, I find I am unable to continue it myself. Therefore, I cast it into the FFML.If anyone wants to pick it up and do something with it, feel free. The first chapter just jumped into the first fight with Ranma and Ranma-chan. The Backstory was intended to be told as a flashback. The Backstory is simple enough (?). Happosai and his secret cult of followers kidnap Ranma and use the mystic Cleaving Sword to seperate Ranma and Ranma-chan. The Ranmas free themselves with the unexpected aid of Ranma-neko, who also gained a seperate physical existence. In the process, the capture a cultist and interrogate him. The intent of the Happosite cult was to sacrifice Ranma and use the mystic Perverted Ritual to give Ranma-chan a Happosai-like mentality. They learn that the magic of the Cleaving sword wears off by the next full moon (13 days later), and if one of them is dead, the remaining one becomes the new dominant persona, with no changing. Thus the war starts. Ranma sees a chance to be rid of his curse, while Ranma-chan sees a chance for both freedom and revenge at being supressed all those years by ultra-macho Ranma. The Neko-Ranma has an animal mentality, but is very powerful and doesn't like either one very much. So you have Ranma (even more macho than ever) and Ranma-chan (tough-as-nails but ultra-feminine at the same time) trying to kill each other, each with their allies and enemies. In addition to the two sides, you have Neko-Ranma and the Happosite Cult, each with their own agenda. Here's the story. As I said before, if anyone wants to pick it up, feel free. I've got too much on my plate now. -------------------- Jack Staik Property of Jillian -------------------- -- Listar MIME Decryption -------------- -- Name : WOTR01.TXT >From - Tue May 25 05:23:30 1999 Received: from ip210.little-rock4.ar.pub-ip.psi.net (ip210.little-rock4.ar.pub-ip.psi.net [38.27.247.210]) by gull.prod.itd.earthlink.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id EAA26768 for ; Tue, 25 May 1999 04:26:17 -0700 (PDT) From: jstaik1043@earthlink.net (Jack Staik) To: jstaik1043@earthlink.net Newsgroups: rec.arts.anime.creativ Subject: [Ranma][Fanfic] The War of the Ranmas - Part 1 of unknown number Date: Tue, 25 May 1999 09:17:49 GMT Message-ID: <374a6a92.38118664@news.earthlink.net> X-Mailer: Forte Free Agent 1.11/16.235 X-UIDL: a6997f275974eed7a64179857224ceaf Status: U X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 Content-Length: 7356 Disclaimer: Anyone who doesn't know that Takahashi-san is the creator of Ranma - catch them quick! They're ALIENS!! -------------------- Ranma 1/2: War of the Ranmas By Jack Staik, Bookkeeper-At-Arms -------------------- Everyone in Nerima was on edge. The tension was thick enough to cut with a knife. In all eyes was the spectre of dread. Then an explosion echoed off the buildings, rattling the windows. From a construction site, the sounds of combat were heard. Everyone relaxed, now that things were back to normal. * * * * * "You've got to be kidding!" Akane said. "No! Really!" Suki replied enthusiastically. "Miyume told Asake who told Kira who told Nioyme who told-" Before the teenage gossip could get too far, the explosion shocked them into silence.. Then the sounds of battle-cries and blows being struck - and a familiar voice. "RANMA!!" Akane cried out. Dropping her books, she raced over to the cconstruction site. she thjought angrily. she lied to herself. Hopping the fence, she spotted Ranma easily enough. His shirt was torn slightly, and he was bleeding from a scalp wound. Akane wondered, Ranma looked carefully around a corner, seeking his opponent. He tensed, expecting an attack. He wasn't dissapointed. "BAKUSAI TENKETSU!!" The wall behind him exploded outward, hurling Ranma across the construction site, through the fence, and into the ice-cream parlor across the street. "OH NO! RANMA!" Akane cried out. She turned to the exploded wall, to face - -Ranma. Or, more accurately, Ranma-chan, stepping through the hole in the wall. Ignoring Akane, the redhead grabbed a sledgehammer and ran through the hole in the fence, yelling an incoherent battle-cry. The pig-tailed girl jumped through the shattered window and charged the dazed pig-tailed boy. "DIE YOU BASTARD!!" she screamed, swinging the hammer down at his head. "NOOO!!!" Akane screamed in horror. Ranma-chan froze and turned. "Akane?" she said, surprised. "MOKO TAKABISHA!!" The ki-bolt slammed into Ranma-chan, blowing her back across the street and knocking the sledgehammer out of her hands. Akane looked at the dazed female figure on the ground. Red hair in a braided pig-tail, blue eyes, cute face, impressively busty, short - definitely Ranma-chan. She then looked at the slightly-dazed male figure staggering out of the wrecked ice-cream parlor. Black hair in a braided pig-tail, blue eyes, cute-handsome face, athlete's build - definitely Ranma. "What the hells is going on here?!?" Akane demanded. "Not now, tomboy!" Ranma snapped. Picking up the sledgehammer, he went over to the prone form of Ranma-chan. Raising the sledgehammer over his head, he yelled out, "DIE YOU BITCH!!" "RANMA!! STOP!!" Akane cried out horrified. Ranma turned towards Akane, distracted. "MOKO TAKABISHA!!" The ki-bolt slammed into Ranma, blowing him into the air and into the apartment above the ice-cream parlor. Ranma-chan stumbled to her feet. "Thanks for the save, tomboy." she said cockily. "Not that I needed it of course." she added hastily. Akane was throughly confused. "Will someone please tell me WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?" "Later. I gotta kill that bastard before he wakes up." Akane pried the Mallet Of Doom from Ranma-chan's head, now imbedded in the pavement. A muffled voice could be heard, "You are so uncute - uhhhh..." Ranma stumbled out of the buliding (again), and weaved and swayed over to Akane. "I knew she couldn't stop a macho chick like you, tomboy-" Folding up and collapsing, Ranma managed to mumble "You are so uncute..." before falling uinconscious. Akane looked at the two out-cold figures at her feet. How could she get these two home? For that matter, which one was Ranma? They both acted like Ranma - they sounded like Ranma. Except that Ranma didn't kill - and these two seemed eager to kill each other. she lamented to herself. But the clinic had been closed ever since the doctor was committed after being caught by his receptionist wearing a Kasumi costume and performing unnatural acts with Betty-chan. Her so-called friends had fled - which left her without help, which put her on yet another slow burn. Grumbling to herself, she hefted the two limp forms onto her shoulders and proceeded to stagger toward Ucchan's (which was closer than the dojo). * * * * * Ukyo had heard the explosion, and figured that someone was blowing the crap out of someone else. Perhaps that Nuku-Nuku girl - she and her brother came in sometimes for okonomiyaki - or that nice Kitsune girl and the Black Fox ninja clan were at it again. It could even be Ranma, but the blast sounded more like regular explosives, not a ki-blast or a breaking-point attack. (After living in Nerima a while, the various kinds of explosion could be readily distinguished from each other by a bystander, based on sound, propagation of debris, or odor of the blast site. Many of Japan's most noted forensic investigators come from Nerima.) After a few minutes, Akane came to the front door, two bodies over her shoulders in a fireman's carry. The buttocks on one were easily recognized by the chef. "Ranchan!" she cried, helping Akane lay him in the booth. "What happened? Who did this?" "I did." Akane said. "I knew it!" Ukyo snapped. "You had one of your damn tantrums and beat him again, didn't you?" "I don't have tantrums!" Akane yelled. "And there was a very good reason for it!" "What? Someone else looked at a girl so you blamed Ranma? A leaf fall in the park?" "THIS is what!" Akane replied, laying Ranma-chan in the other side of the booth. "Huh?" Ukyo looked confusedly at the two Ranmas - boy and girl. "Which one is our Ranma?" "I don't know. They both used Ranma's Moko Takabisha, and they both talked like Ranma - they *both* called me an uncute tomboy! But they were trying to kill each other - really kill - and Ranma wouldn't do that." Ukyo looked thoughtful. "Well, why not splash them? Ranma changes, we got the fake cold." "Yeah - and if we splash the wrong one, the fake kills Ranma before we can stop him - or her!" "Good point. Hmmm..." "I know!" Akane exclaimed. "We'll tie them up, then splash both!" "Great! I've got some rope in my bedroom!" Akane glanced over at Ukyo. "It's not my rope! It's Tsubasa's!" Akane stared at Ukyo. "He left it here by accident!" "Uh-huh," Akane said non-commitally. As Ukyo went up to her room, Akane had a brief mental image, which she promptly chased out of her head. Trussing up the Ranmas didn't take too long - Ukyo seemed to have a knack for getting rope on an unconscious form. The, with the kettles of just-hot-enough water, the two girls splashed the two bound figures simultaneously. The two Ranmas sat up. "What'd ya do THAT for!?!?!" they yelled together. Then they started to struggle against their bonds. Neither one had changed. * * * * * To Be Continued --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Prev by Date: [FFML] [Synopses-List] A few announcements * Next by Date: [FFML] [Ranma] [Sad] Changes * Prev by thread: [FFML] [Synopses-List] A few announcements * Next by thread: [FFML] [Ranma] [Sad] Changes * Index(es): o Date o Thread
