Ranma Vs. SailorMoon
Different Transformations
by Shaiw Chi "Hokodan"
Chapter 2: Round One; Fight!
"You're gonna punish me for what?" asks Ranma. "I've never seen
you before in
my life." Ranma then pauses. He didn't remember Ryoga when he came
looking for
him. Or Ukyou for that matter. Ranma wrinkles his brow, thinking hard.
"Ranma, what'd you do to her! Don't tell me you knocked her into
Jusenkyo too"
Akane turns to Sailor Moon. "Do you transform into something else too?"
"Uhhh, no, of course I don't transform into a fourteen year old
middle school
student living in Tokyo," answers Serena nervously. "And what's
Jusenkyo?"
"So what do you want me for?"
Serena notices that Ranma... is a girl! "Oh my god. You are one
sick person! I
thought it was bad that anyone would help that depraved old pervert, but
to think that
you're a female that's helping it!"
"Hey, who you calling a female," replies Ranma angrily.
"Scouts, I'm picking up some very strong vibes from all of them."
"So am I Luna, but there's something unusual about it, it's not
like the one's I
usually get from the negaverse," answers Rei.
Amy has finally just about reached the others and begins to say
"That's because
they..." WHOOOSH! Amy is wisked off her feet across the street before
she could finish
her important news.
Kuno sets Sailor Mercury down on the lawn across the street.
"Truly as the sun
begins its descent, that it is appropriate that we begin our ascent. With
the amber sky
reflecting our fanning desires, perhaps I shall go out on the proverbial
limb and thus, if I
may be so bold as to inquire your name my blue haired beauty," prompts
Kuno. "Those
beautiful blue eyes, and bouncy blue hair, truly she is deserving the love
of Tatewaki
Kuno," thinks Kuno.
"My name is..." she begins but Kuno cuts her off.
"But first, what kind of gentleman would I be if I did not
introduce myself first. I
have been bestowed many honored names, from the shining star of Tokyo to
the blue
thunder of Furikan high, however, you may simply call me upperclassmen
Tatewaki
Kuno. And now, please continue your sweet dialogue."
Amy looks at the handsome young man in disbelief. She couldn't
believe that a
person could be so utterly observed in himself. She couldn't believe how
someone could
attempt poetry that sounds intelligible but actually makes little to no
sense. And she
couldn't believe the thought that he was actually cute had crossed her
mind.
"Ummm, my name is Ami Miz... I mean Amy Anderso... I mean Sailor
Mercury,"
she says as she distances herself away from him.
"Just as the night sky shall inevitably swallow the day, so shall
our love
eventually swallow any hesitation on your part. Give in to our desires
and allow me to
date with you tonight!"
"Oh god no," Amy accidently burst out, then corrects herself. "I
mean, my
computer has fully accessed the energy reading emanating from your friends
and
apparently it's their battle aura that's been giving off the high energy
readings, but my
friends think they're from the negaverse. I have to stop them before they
hurt your
friends."
"Ha ha ha!" Kuno laughs mockingly. "Although tis true I carry
little affection for
that spendgally Ranma Saotome and his plebian friends, I must admit that
they are all
quite capable fighters, all good enough to almost challenge the might of
my own blade. I
would be more concerned for the welfare of your allies."
"All the more reason for me to stop the fighting. So if you'll
excuse me
'upperclassman.'" Amy begins to run back into the dojo but Kuno's blade
cuts her off.
"Oh, so perhaps you are a fighter yourself. Yes, the perfect
package of adroit
intelligence, unparalled beauty, and even fighting prowess! Indeed, you
are worthy to
become Tatewaki Kuno's third love."
Third love!? This person has some serious problems. "Um, maybe
some other
time upperclassman Kuno," she stops as Kuno moves himself in front of her,
blocking
her path.
"With manners to boot! Yes, we shall join in combat first so I
may prove to you
my love! Defeat me, and I shall allow you to date with me," declares Kuno
has he moves
in to strike Sailor Mercury. She is able to dodge his attacks, but just
barely.
"I think we have a misunderstanding. I don't have to fight you,
maybe we could
just change phone numbers or something," she babbles while trying to avoid
his blows.
"God, I don't want him to have my phone number," Amy thinks.
"What kind of warrior would I be if I were to accept so gracious
an invitation?
No, I must prove my worth to you in combat my love!" he yells as he
continues to pursue
Sailor Mercury who has since turned tail and run.
"You nega-scum! What has your minion done with Sailor Mercury!
You've gone
too far this time. Alright nega-trash, prepare to be moon dusted!"
"Kuno's no minion of mine, and I don't know where he took your
friend. I don't
even know what kind of grudge you hold against me," says Ranma as he moves
into a
fighting stance, "but I'm really sorry if you turn into a mongoose or
somethng, or if my
dad got us engaged and then ditched you."
"Engaged... to you! Oh my god, you are some sort of sick pervert!
I'm not into
that kind of... San Francisco stuff!"
"I'm not a girl! And why do you keep calling me a pervert? And
what is the
nega-verse? Come to think of it, I think I would remember a quintet of
girls wearing
skimpy sailor skirts."
"Oh!!! That's the last straw! Who are you calling skimpy!
Sailor Scout's, lets
trash the nega-creep!"
But before they have the chance to advance, a wall of would be
fiancee's block
their path.
"That's as far as you go gals. I'm sorry, but ain't nobody gonna
be laying a finger
on my Ranma sugar unless it's me," Ukyou says as she draws her spatula out
of her
holster.
"Ranma no worry. Shampoo protect husband," crossing her
bellballs.
"Not to worry Ranma darling. These harlots shan't be harassing my
dear after
I'm through with them."
"Uhhh, girls, this isn't necessary. I can handle all of them..."
"Serena, let's all split up. There's four of us against four of
them," Sailor Mars
orders as she moves towards Kodachi. "Scouts, pick one and let's tango!"
"But I'm the leader here! I should be giving the orders! At
least leave me the
pervert Ranma," whines Serena. "Scouts, attack!"
"I, the black rose Kodachi Kuno, shall accept your challenge you
hussy! Let's see
if you can keep up with me." Kodachi leaps towards the rooftop of the
Tendo home.
"Me keeping up with you is gonna be the least of your worries
sister!" shouts
Sailor Mars as she jumps towards the rooftop as well.
"Shampoo choose to fight on wall. You good to fight on wall too?
Maybe you no
keep balance," she mocks as she springs onto the wall surronding the Tendo
Dojo.
"I'd be able to whip your butt fighting on a bed of spikes. Just
point out where
and I'll follow," brags Sailor Jupiter as she springs herself onto the
wall as well.
"Me fight on spike bed before. No big deal."
"I don't know about you dearie, but I kind of like my feet planted
on firm
ground," Ukyou pronounces.
"I couldn't agree with you more," replies Sailor Venus.
"But first, let's get out of my Ranma cuties' way so he can wipe
up the floor with
that meatball head leader of yours," commands Ukyou as she starts running
to the
backyard. "Follow me if you dare!"
"That meatball head is gonna be more of a challenge to your pal
than you think,"
lies Mina. "Geez, I wish I had as much confidence in Serena as she does
in Ranma," she
thinks. They both run away from the front yard.
"Your energy sucking days are over! Prepare to be moon dusted!"
cries Sailor
Moon.
"You obviously don't know me very well if you want to fight me.
For whatever
it's worth, I'm sorry if you fell in Jusenkyo because of me. Or, I'm
sorry, but I have
more than enough potential brides already." Ranma leaps backward onto a
stone in the
pond, still in his fighting stance. "If that's not enough, I guess
there's nothing left to
say."
Sailor Mars was stilling chasing Kodachi from rooftop to rooftop,
and she was
getting tired. "Damn you! Why don't you stand your ground and fight!"
Kodachi leaps down to a lower building, out of Rei's sight. As
Rei prepares to
jump down, a razor hoop shoots up from below, nearly cutting her face off.
She stumbles
and falls on her back. Kodachi jumps into the air, hovering right on top
of Rei.
"A welp like yourself doesn't deserve my full attention!" roars
Kodachi as she
throws a ball bomb at Rei.
Rei is barely able to roll out of the way of the bomb, but the
blast throws her off
the roof. She lands on another rooftop right below the one she was one.
She realizes
she's on the verge of blacking out, and fights to keep herself conscious.
The throbbing
pain coursing through every inch of her body helps. She coffs hard,
trying to regain her
breath, as she struggles to get on her hands and knees.
"Prepare to die floozy!" screams Kodachi as she comes down with a
spiked club,
ready to bash Rei's head in.
With seconds to spare, Rei gathers up her energy as quickly as
possible, and
mutters out, "mars... Fire... IGNITE!" she finishes off as a fireball
emerges from her
fingertips and launches itself at Kodachi.
"What in..." Kodachi utters out as she is barely able to twist in
the air to avoid the
fireball. However, the mid-air readadustment has her losing her form and
she lands with
a THUD on her front. After getting the wind knocked out of her, she taker
her time
getting back up. "What in the world," she finally gasps out.
"Don't underestimate a Sailor Scout," announces Rei as she moves
in for a strike.
Kodachi kicks blindly at her, but she dodges and is able to land an elbow
across
Kodachi's face.
Kodachi, rolling to the blow, loses her wits as the world begins
to spin. She could
still hear the wind break as Sailor Mars begins running for another blow.
She quickly
grabs the first weapon she can find and flings it at Sailor Mars.
The projectile comes hurtling at Mars, but Rei is able to grab...
the bouqet of
black roses? Suddenly, they explode into a cloud of gas. Rei sucks in
her breath as
quickly as possible, discards the roses, and stumbles away from the cloud.
Her arms, her
limbs, even her head suddenly feel like they each weigh a ton. Every
movement
suddenly becomes a struggle.
"AaaaaaahahahahaAaaaaaaahahahaha," Kodachi laughs maniacly. "I
believe
you're beginning to feel the paralysis powder begin to take affect. Those
flowers were
originally for my darling Ranma. A pity I had to waste them on you."
"You were... gonna give those... to your "darling?" Rei manages to
spit out. Even
talking had become slugish.
"My dear Ranma at times needs... persuasion. But enough chit
chat." Kodachi
brings out her ribbon. "It is time a taught you a lesson about conduct."
She flings the
ribbon so it wraps around Sailor Mars' arm, and flings her against a
chimney. Rei
slumps back to the ground.
"What's the matter raven haired girl? No more mighty words?"
Kodachi swings
Rei back into the air only to slam her down on the roof.
Rei should be hurting. She realizes this. But for some reason,
her body just
doesn't feel anything right now. Maybe it's the powder. Maybe she's
blacking out. Or
maybe it's because her body has just become numb with pain. She tries to
look at
Kodachi, but everything is just a blur. The insane laughter is just
echoing around inside
her head. "I'm not going to win this fight," briefly crosses Rei's mind.
Briefly because
she then becomes upset at herself for the notion. With all the anger she
begins building
up, she uses it regain feeling. The anger courses through her body, legs,
her eyes, until
the anger is animating her entire frame. "Rei Hino," she thinks, "does
not lose."
"How about mighty action instead of words!" screams Rei as she
pulls the ribbon
sharply. Kodachi unprepared for this burst of adrenaline, falls forward
but lands on her
knees.
"So there is life in you yet little girl? No more playing around,
time to finish the
job!" cries Kodachi as she launches herself at Sailor Mars.
Sailor Mars leaps over Kodachi, and while she is flipping in
mid-air, "Mars
Fireball Charge!" and she tags Kodachi's back with the charm.
"What was that foolish girl? Apparently it had no effect on me.
However, I'm
sure this ball bomb will work," she yells as she launches it at Rei. Rei
dodges it but the
ball... the ball simply bounces away instead of exploding.
"Hmmm, must have been a dud. Well, we'll see how well you react
to my razor
hoop," she roars as she flings the hoop towards Mars.
Sailor Mars rushes towards Kodachi and grabs the hoop... and it
doesn't cut her
hand! Mars leaps into the air and slips the hoop around Kodachi's arms.
Kodachi,
temporarly trapped by the hoop, gets a karate chop right into her cheek,
dropping her
onto her shoulder.
"I don't know what you did to me brat," she says as she rolls
around onto her
knees, "but I don't need gimmicks to get the better of you." With a surge
of strength,
Kodachi breaks the hoop. "Die!" she screams as she unleashes a hundred
clubs at Rei.
Althogh they are not spiked, they still pose a threat. Rei
manages to dodge all of
them but one which clips her in the head.
Seeing Mars doozy, Kodachi prepares to finish her as she pulls out
her steel rod.
"The end has finally come!"
Mars quickly regains her senses at quickly chants "Mars Fire
Ignite," as another
fireball plows towards Kodachi. It misses her again, but this time the
explosion knocks
Kodachi into the air, and right back down on her back.
"You're damn right this is the end," Mars says as she charges
towards Kodachi.
Kodachi pulls out her ribbon one last time, hoping to inflict a
final counter blow.
"Mars Hot Foot!" declares Mars as she does a flip kick in the air,
her right foot
burning brightly. Kodachi wraps the ribbon around her leg, but the fire
burns the ribbon
up.
"Oh my..." Kodachi gets out before Mars' heel smashes into
Kodachi's face,
knocking her off the roof and onto the ground with a THUD! Kodachi lies
there, not
moving.
"Ha! I guess that's that," Mars gets out right before her anger
finally subsides.
She crumples onto the rooftop herself. "Rei Hino does not lose," she
thinks right before
she passes out.
"Kasumi, is Akane cooking dinner tonight?' inquires Nabiki.
"No Nabiki, why do you ask?"
"Well, I smelled smoke and assumed it was her. I was just about
to call for some
ramen to be delievered."
"Oh my. If it isn't Akane's cooking, then I guess Ranma's friends
did set the
house on fire again."
"Don't worry sis, I'll call the fire department. It's autodial
#3, right?"
Shampoo attacks with the balls attempting to stab Lita with it,
but Lita either
dodges or blocks every attack.
"You not bad, but you no keep this up forever," explains Shampoo
as she
increases the tempo of her attacks.
"You're right," says Lita as she breaks one of Shampoo's ballbells
with a strong
straight punch. "Maybe it's about time I went on the offensive." She
throws a punch,
spins into a roundhouse, spins into a sweep, tries a backhand, and
continues to punch and
kick at Shampoo in the same manner, but Shampoo also blocks every attack.
Shampoo leaps into the air and brings her remaining weapon down
hard. It
misses Lita, instead breaking a huge crack in the wall. "You for sure
better than Kuno."
"I'm better than you," boasts Lita as she attempts a drop kick.
She flies over
Shampoo, and lands unbalanced, teetering on the wall. Shampoo takes
advantage of this.
"You no be able to dodge this," states Shampoo as she throws three
shurikans
towards Lita. She doesn't. Two of them slip by her, but one of them
slashes her across
the leg. "First blood is Shampoo's," she says with a wicked smile.
"That's only a flesh wound," grimaces Lita. "I'll show you some
real blood soon
enough." Lita then drives herself at Shampoo with amazing speed. Shampoo
is caught
by surprise as Lita's shoulder is suddenly ramming her chest. Lita drops
do one knee
tiredly, as Shampoo falls flat on her back.
Before Lita has a chance to take advantage of this, Shampoo kicks
herself back
onto her feet. Shampoo gives no boasting statement as she begins her
attack. Lita
attempts to break through her offense with an uppercut but is responded
with a knee in
the stomach, Shampoo then against connects with an elbow uppercut along
Lita's chin.
Lita realizes that without one of her weapons weighing her down,
she's twice as
fast as before. Lita manages to leap over a low sweep, but Shampoo twists
into a
somersault and kicks Lita on the neck, then spins around for a backhand.
As Lita
staggers, Shampoo swings her remaining weapon and connects against Lita's
head,
spinning her like a top.
Shampoo stops her assualt assuming her victory was assured. To
her surprise,
Lita had reeled backwards, but had managed to stay on her feet. She was
breathing hard,
bleeding hard, but above all, hard to beat.
"You strong girl. You have Shampoo respect. But Shampoo still
kill you!"
Shampoo then begins to charge, her weapon grasped with both hands,
preparing to knock
Lita to the moon with it.
The short pause Shampoo had given Lita was all that she needed to
get her second
wind. "You're not bad girl, but now it's my turn!"
Shampoo homerun swings her weapon, but Lita dodges under it, and
lands a gut
punch at Shampoo, knocking the air out of her. She then begins her quick
punch attack,
which Shampoo desperately tries to avoid. Of the hundred punches Lita
throws,
Shampoo manages to avoid 3/4 of them. The other blows have her teeter
backwards, her
face stained with blood as well now.
Lita remembres the reprieve she got when Shampoo delayed her
assault, and
decideds not to grant Shampoo the same. She attempts to kick Shampoo with
a forward
kick, but Shampoo manages to grab her leg and throws her weapon down on
it.
"Damn!" Lita screams out in pain, and with her remaining leg,
propels herself
across the short distance between Shampoo and herself. "Flying elbow,"
she cries as her
elbow knocks Shampoo's head flying back. Lita falls to one knee, her left
leg becoming
numb. Shampoo lands on her back and rolls onto her feet.
They are both silent. Shampoo was overflowing with anger, and
ready to explode
on Lita any second, if it weren't for the fact she was so tired.
Lita, on the other hand, was thinking. "We're too evenly matched.
We could be
at this for another hour, and who knows how badly Serena could get creamed
in that
time. She's probably crying already. I have to end this soon."
"No more fight. Finish now!" Shampoo screams as she rushes at
Lita.
A bolt of lightning suddenly strikes Lita, and begins to take
shape around her.
She leaps into the air and chants "Jupiter Thunder Crash!" and unleashes a
bolt of
lightning at Shampoo.
Shampoo was coming in to fast to dodge it, so she instead throws
her remaining
weapon at Lita's attack. The weapon explodes in a fury of electricity,
with some of its
residue nailing Shampoo.
After the smoke had cleared, Lita could see Shampoo down on both
knees
coughing, slightly burned across her entire frame. But she quickly gets
up, ready to fight
again.
"Shampoo not know what black magic you use, but it no work on
Shampoo," she
says, as she moves in for another attack. With no weapons now, she was
moving at an
unbelievable speed. Shampoo kicks Lita in the body, then the head,
then... Lita can't
even make out the blows anymore, but a hook across her left cheek sends
her flying. Somehow, Lita lands on one hand and flips onto her feet.
"Stubborn girl, why you not FALL!" cries Shampoo, her patience
obviously exhausted. She dashes at Lita, her left arm pulled back for a fatal blow.
"This blow have all Shampoo got left," she thinks.
Lita, realizing her predicament, makes a decision to either make
or break this fight. "I got to put all my power into this and hope to god that she
doesn't come back for more." Lita pulls back her hands, wrapped in a circular position. A ball
of lightning begins to form there. "Haven't used this one much before, hope I get it
right."
"Jupiter Thunder Crash Zap!" she bellows as she flings the
lightning ball at Shampoo. Shampoo manages to avoid the brunt of the lightning, but it's
tail still manages to nail Shampoo with enough power to kill lesser humans. Shampoo
writhes in the air momentarily, before falling onto the ground in a heap.
Jupiter limps to Shampoo, making sure she was still alive.
Shampoo let her know herself as she slowly tried to push herself up.
"Shampoo... not finished... yet," she shakily gets out.
"You're more resilient than I am, I'll give you that. I'm sorry
lady, but you arefinished," says Lita as she brings her leg back for a knockout kick, when
suddenly she becomes wrapped in chains.
"If you've hurt Shampoo, I'm going to kill you!" cries a third
party.
Mousse lands on the wall behind Lita, and notices Shampoo on the
ground. "Oh my god! What did you to do Shampoo you tramp," cries Mousse as he pulls
Lita off the wall, swings her around, and then brings her back hard against the side of
the wall right below him. Lita crashes into the wall, leaving cracks and her impression
on it, as she falls unconsciously back to the earth. He pulls back his chains.
"Shampoo my love, are you alright," asks Mousse concerningly. He
picks Shampoo's head up gently, only to realize it was burning hot. Not only
that, but her entire head was mashed out of shape. Then he realizes the head wasn't
connected to anything. "AHHHH! My dear Shampoo, that wench decapatated you! No my
love, NOOO! It's all my fault. If only I had arrived a minute sooner, you
would still be alive." Mousse pulls out a sickle. "I no longer have a reason to live," Mousse
weeps out, preparing to take his own life.
Shampoo was trying to decide whether or not to let Mousse kill
himself. For some reason she can't figure out, her more benavolent side prevails.
"Shampoo over here stupid Mousse," insults Shampoo. Mousee puts his glasses on to
notice he was talking to the eletrocuted bellball of Shampoo's. "Shampoo! You're
alive!" he says happily as he turns around to hug Shampoo.
Mousse is appreciated for his altruism with a fist to the face.
"Stupid bird brain,
you no should interfere with fight between warrior woman," Shampoo answers
angrily.
"No need to thank me Shampoo," he whimpers out before falling off
the wall, senseless.
"This has gone on for long enough. I appreciate your compassion
for me, it really is quite flattering," an out of breath Amy says to Kuno, "but I need to
get back to my friends." Amy has stopped running and just looks at Kuno now.
"But my love! How can I truly appreciate the budding emotion
between us two young lovers unless I have castigated myself in your honor? No, I must
continue to prove my worth!" Kuno moves in to strike Amy, but she stands her ground, just
staring at him.
"My love, why do you take no action?"
"If you think for one second you hitting me with your kendo sword
is going to impress me, you'd better think again! Either get it over with or get out
of my way!"
"I cannot strike you if you do not parry. Yet, I cannot date with
you until I have proven my valuation to you," Kuno says as he begins grabbing his hair. "I
do not know what to do? I, the mighty kendo master Tatewaki Kuno, is at a lost for
action. Ahhhh!" screams Kuno as he runs away. He could be heard at a distance muttering
"I shall meditate until my indecision shall be illuminated by the light of
cognition!"
"Whew," Amy lets out relievedly. "There's no telling what's
happened since I've been chased by that fanatic. I've got to get back there as soon as I
can," says Amy as she looks at her computer showing her the way back.
