Meanwhile Dr. Tofu, Gosunkugi, Shampoo, and Mousse were having problems with a different guard.
"If you want in you gotta defeat me first! You'll never make it! Feel the wrath of Juan!" The guard attacked Gosunkugi and Dr. Tofu. He sent a series of blows to their bodies and started chanting. Gosunkugi ran to the side listening to the chant. "I know that chant! It was used long ago to cremate dead bodies! Hurry! Clear the way! I know the reversal spell!" He started chanting similar words of the same language. The guard screamed and started burning. He then quickly doused himself with a water spell.
Dr. Tofu had stopped fighting when he noticed Ryoga carrying Ukyo, "What happened to Ukyo?" Ryoga was almost in tears. He thought Ukyo was about to die or already was.
"Sh-she was attacked by the guard who used a powerful chi attack. She passed out! I-is she dead?" Ryoga was now crying. He knew a man shouldn't cry, but he couldn't help it. Ukyo was hurt and he could do nothing.
"Ah.... the Resc May Gaima Hito Yo. That is a very powerful technique that makes the users most helpful weapon form into a chi attack. Quickly! Put cold water on her face!"
Ryoga ran to the pond with a bucket and brought it back carefully so he wouldn't get splashed. Meanwhile Shampoo and Mousse were almost through with the guard. Acting like partners, one fought while the other was distracting him.
Shampoo hopped from tree to tree then to the roof. Mousse attacked him with hidden weapons of all sorts and then Shampoo kicked his back sending him sprawled on the ground. He tried all sorts of spells but Gosunkugi just blocked them off. Mousse went for the kill.
"HYAA!" Ropes, barbed wire, and chains flew out of his sleeves and wrapped around the guard. He jumped in the air and landed his elbow on the guards chest, knocking the air out of him. He twitched a few times then passed out. Suddenly they heard a small cry coming from Ukyo.
"Ukyo! Are you all right?!" Ryoga was yelling in her ear. "Please! Answer me!"
Ukyo opened her eyes. "Y-you don't have to yell at m-me that loud....." She said softly. "I'm fine... well actually m-my whole b-b-body is in p-pain.....Aaaah!" She yelled out as her body began twitching. She was in agony and she needed help. Ryoga sat there stunned. What could he do? Nothing.... he wasn't a doctor or anything special. He was just Ryoga.... the pig-boy. He moved her to a better position as Dr. Tofu ordered.
They looked up as they saw Nabiki dragging Kuno towards them. She asked the doc if he could do anything to help Kuno. Nabiki bent down to peer at Kuno's face and something slipped out of her pocket.
"Nabiki! Thanks!" Ryoga was holding Nabiki's cellular phone. "I need to use this to get the paramedics! Ukyo's hurt and they could get Kuno too!"
Nabiki glared at Ryoga. Surely he didn't expect her to just let him use it without paying her? But when she saw his face and the look in his eyes her face softened. She also thought of Kuno. "Sure.... go ahead." Nabiki sat down next to Kuno.
Ryoga dialed and reached the paramedics. "There are 2 p-people seriously hurt. I don't know how much b-but they need help right away!" The woman on the other line seemed bored. She asked him a few questions then asked for the address.
"We'll be there as soon as possible." Then she hung up. Dr. Tofu, Mousse, and Ryoga picked the two up carefully and brought them to the front. Dr. Tofu was going to keep watch while the others went to help find Akane with the rest.
Nodoka had stayed with Kasumi so Genma and Soun were left to deal with the last guard. They weren't doing so good. Genma had a sprained ankle and a large gash on his right arm so he couldn't punch or kick with those parts. Soun had a broken nose and two large gashes on his back and stomach. He was also crying and was almost to the point of hysteria. Genma kicked with his good foot sending the guard's head flying back. The guard grabbed his arm and yanked throwing him to the ground and breaking his arm. Genma screamed and cringed in pain.
"G-G-Genmaaaa! D-d-don't leave m-me please!" Soun slumped on the ground and sobbed. He kicked out his foot hitting the guard in the shin.
"Why you crazy old fool! You'll pay! This will get rid of you both! Dragon No Inre Flame!" Fire shot from the guard's hands in large, burning, fireballs.
As luck would have it, Happosai accidentally jumped in front of the guard's blow while heading towards Akane's room for some panties. He was gone for awhile and didn't know she was kidnapped. He hit the ground as a shriveled nugget(that's what he looked like!) and his burned panties floated down to their final resting spot. He slowly, shakily got up.
A dark black aura fumed around his shrunken, old body. "How dare you insult the master of the Anything Goes School of Martial Arts! You have burned my beautiful panties! It's time for you to learn the ultimate lesson!" Happosai's aura got larger until his whole body was bigger then the house. He was angry... angry enough to kill.
The guard shrunk back in terror. His whole life flashed before his eyes. Everything turned black as the old man yelled and the world was enveloped in white.
The others had arrived just at that point and they were amazed to see him still fuming with anger. All of a sudden he collapsed.
Three more people were brought to the front for the ambulance. Soun was cut on his back and stomach, he had a broken nose, and was delirious. Genma was unconscious, had a broken arm, rib, and collarbone, a sprained ankle, and a deep gash on his right arm. Happosai was badly burned and unconscious. Then there was Ukyo who was unconscious, had various dagger cuts on her body, had 5 ribs broken, had a hard time breathing, couldn't stop shuddering, had a bloody nose, had a sprained ankle, and a fractured hip. Kuno would wake up then pass out again, had a number of dagger cuts, couldn't see straight, and had a broken wrist and tailbone.
The ambulance arrived and 2 stretchers were brought out. "I thought you said there were 2 badly injured people.... there are 5. What exactly happened here?"
Ryoga started stuttering. "W-well.... um er... th-th-that is.... well... you know h-h-how m-martial artists... er... are.... d-don't you?"
Everyone(especially the doctors) stared at him. One, the lady on the phone, whispered to one of the others. "Kids..... they always get hurt. But this is pretty bad. I guess it was a really large fight that all of them participated in...." She then pointed to Dr. Tofu. "He'll explain everything to us." They walked towards him for interrogating.
Soon everything was cleared up and the patients were hauled into the ambulance. "If we'd known there were so many we could've brought another ambulance and more supplies." The doctor eyed Ryoga who kept his eyes off her.
"You will take care of Kuno and the others won't you?" Nabiki asked to stop the silence.
"Of course! Don't worry!" The doctors squeezed into the ambulance and drove off to the hospital.
Ranma was having troubles of his own. After beating up 4 rather weak guards he finally managed to find himself in front of a door that looked like it was occupied by a prince or something. The door was decorated with jewels of all kinds and the smell of incense came from the crack at the bottom. He noticed it was his room!
"Now... how do I get in and take him by surprise?" He whispered quietly. He glanced at Akane's room. He knew the others would get her free so he didn't bother to get her because she'd probably get in the way. He would also get a nasty shock from trying to force the door open, and would arouse more guards and Nosatu included.
He figured the best thing to do was to knock on the door and pretend he was a guard. Nosatu had never seen Ranma before so it would be easy. He quietly knocked on the door three times. "Who's there? What do you want?"
Ranma got ready for his surprise attack. "Um.... I'm the guard posted at Akane's door..." He had already beaten up that one, "Sh-she wants to speak to you...er... privately...."
This didn't sound like the guard keeping his fiance on guard. It was different. Nosatu asked, "Tome? Is that you? You sound different."
"Well um... I think i've caught a ...c-cold." Ranma made a few fake coughs and sneezes. He heard footsteps coming towards the door. He heard a key unlock the door and it slowly opened. He braced himself. The figure of a richly dressed teen around his age appeared and stared at him.
"You are not Tome.... Who are you?"
"Ranma Saotome." He lunged.
Akane had her ear up to her door listening intently. She heard Ranma try to fool Nosatu and she heard the door slowly creak open.
"I hope Ranma can do this..... Please Ranma! You have to help me...."She heard Nosatu pull out his sword. "Ranma!" She called out his name.
She faintly heard his answer, "Don't worry, Akane. The others will help you. They're probably nearing your room right now.. OW!" She heard a thump as Ranma hit the ground. Nosatu must have kicked him or something.
Her ears heard something else outside her window. It must be the others! She ran to the window and looked down. Sure enough, she saw a rather pale Ryoga looking up at her. She pounded on the window, waved, and smiled. Ryoga smiled up at her. " Don't worry, Akane! We're coming to get you! Stay calm and don't go anywhere!"
She noticed the only ones left to help her were Ryoga, Shampoo, Mousse, Dr. Tofu, and Gosunkugi. She hoped her other friends were all right. She didn't want anyone getting hurt just for her sake.
While she waited for her friends to help her escape she remembered the special necklace Nosatu had told her about. She went to her closet and searched her old junk box. Sure enough, there was a thin gold necklace with a small purple jewel on it. So this is what caused me all this trouble, she thought. Maybe if I could just destroy it Nosatu wouldn't want to marry me. She tried to break the gold wire and she slammed the jewel on the ground tons of times, but it wouldn't break. Guess I'll have to be stuck with this forever unless Nosatu wants it back.... if he's still alive...
Ryoga and the others had gathered some boxes and crates and piled them up towards the window. Right before he was about to climb up to try the Breaking Point technique another guard came.
None of them were in any mood to fight because they were worn out from fighting the past guards. "How much guard here?" Shampoo asked. They thought they had finished them all.
Nabiki turned towards them, "People, people... Don't worry! I have a way to stop this mess!" All of them had forgotten that Nabiki had a gun. She pulled it out and pointed it at the guard. "If you don't let us through I'm going to shoot you. Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I have the guts to do this so don't think you can just beat us up. I want you to hurry up and run to where you came from, and warn the other scum around here about this too." Just to warn him, she shot the ground at his feet making him jump. He ran awy without looking behind. "Geez! That was fast!"
Ryoga got back to climbing the mountain of boxes. At the top he picked a spot next to the window. He closed his eyes and found the walls breaking point. He opened them and yelled, "BAKUSAI TENKETSU!" His finger broke through the wall, exploding it, and created a large opening in the wall. They all climbed in.
Akane was just about to try to break the necklace for the last time when she was suddenly jerked from her spot and hit the wall. She groggily got back up to beat the brains out of who ever did that when she noticed her friends crawling in the room. She had remembered a loud noise so she must have passed out. Ryoga must have broken through.
"Hey! Your here!" Akane fell on her knees.
"Akane? You all right?" Shampoo knelt down beside her and put her hand on her shoulder. "You no look to well.... what this?" Shampoo put her hand on the back of Akane's head and lifted it up for everyone to see. "Akane hurt! She bleeding!"
Oh, no! Ryoga thought. This is all my fault! I should have warned Akane to make sure she was away from the blast point! "This is my fault, Akane. The blast must have slammed you into the wall from the force.... are you all right?"
"I'm fine. My head hurts is all... Ryoga! Blast the wall so we can reach Ranma! Ooooh!" Mousse picked up Akane and waited for Ryoga to be done.
"BAKUSAI TENKETSU!" There was a loud BOOM and the way was clear. The all went through the hole and gasped.
Ranma heard Akane's voice and answered her but that made him open and Nosatu made a flying punch to his side. He hit the ground but got back up into a fighting position. He remembered his father's words about the sword and lunged at Nosatu. He forgot about the dangerous chi attack.
"HYAA!" Ranma aimed for the sword but hit nothing instead. Nosatu grabbed him and pounded him into the ground. This was an opponent to be watched. He got back up and grabbed Nosatu's arm then tripped him with his leg. He pushed him to the floor and held him in a neck lock.
Suddenly the floor shook and they both heard an explosion. The force pulled them apart and they went flying to different sides of the hall.
"Ha! Looks like Akane's gonna escape! You happy?" Ranma sneered as Nosatu tried to punch him but missed. "I Can't believe you were dumb enough to fall for that stupid guard trick. Oh! I've got a cold! HA!" Ranma knew that if you got an opponent angry they would fight harder but careless.
"Silence! Fool! Don't underestimate the power I have!" He lunged and managed to grab Ranma and pull him into his battle aura. Ranma had been distracted as he heard Ryoga crying if Akane was all right. He was distracted and that caused this to happen. "Jano Pressure No Sheeto Jya!"
Ranma felt a surging heat envelope his body and he fell as his whole body was engrossed in pain. He gasped and cried in pain. As he lay on the ground in agony he faintly heard another blast and he slammed into a potted plant. He screamed as the pain got worse.
Akane jumped out of Mousse's arms and went to Ranma. "Ranma! Please get up! You have to fight... for me..."
Ranma slowly got up, still in pain, and concentrated on Nosatu. The pain slowly subsided. "A-Akane! Don't get in th-the way! You'll only get hurt!" He saw Akane's disappointed face. "Please....." Akane backed away and continued to watch Ranma.
Ranma concentrated on the sword and only the sword. He ran towards Nosatu who didn't even see him coming. He slammed his whole body into him and while they were falling, he grabbed the sword from the blade. He got a deep gash on his hand but he didn't even feel it. He was burning with hatred and he wanted to end this. He broke the sword in half with his hand and broke the spell. Nosatu gasped and backed away as he saw the darkness and coldness in Ranma's eyes.
"Yaaaa!" Nosatu lunged at Ranma but was instantly knocked away. He fell to the floor and saw Ranma looming above him. Ranma tackled him.
"Cach Utension Amuriguikan!" Ranma sent a constant barrage of punches to Nosatu's stomach who only used his attack once more.
"Jano Pressure No Sheeto Jya!" Ranma didn't even budge. He just kept attacking Nosatu with rage as the pain washed over his body uselessly. He aimed for the chest knocking the air out of his enemy. Nosatu used some of his remaining strength and kicked Ranma directly in the stomach. Ranma flew backwards but stayed on his feet gathering energy in his hands. Nosatu backed away, trying to run from what he knew would defeat him.
Ranma knew how to get to Nosatu once and for all. That was a revised attack of all his chi attacks in one. "Mouko Takabisha Revised! Giryu Sholton Hi!" Power surges from his hands and bolted towards Nosatu who was cringing against the wall. The blast hit him full force and he flew through the wall screaming in agony. Ranma fainted from using all that power and the dust cleared from the attack.
Both Ranma and Nosatu were down, passed out, Ranma had won though.Akane ran to Ranma and cradled his head crying. Finally, everything was over.
Come back for the next story!:
The outcome, the hospital, the wedding, and the party!
Author's note:
This is my first try at a fanfic so don't make any faces or yell at the story. I forgot (somehow) to make Ranma and the others turn into their cursed forms except for Genma. I'll try to remember that next time.Ideas for other stories are going to be in my next story called "New Beginnings" so read that and get up to date on future stories. You'll also get more laughs. In the next story Ranma gets high on morphine, Ryoga proposes to Ukyo in front of all her customers, wedding arrangements, a car accident and Ranma's marraige to Akane is delayed once again, and the whole gang gets drunk at a huge New Years party.
