Seattle is doomed.
Written by Hayesman


	It was a dark and stormy night in Seattle.  Rain pounded the pavement in the cliché way it always does.  A theater lets out at around eleven.  A young couple and their ten year old boy exit the theater.  They had just finished seeing  "The Goonies".  As the three realize that it is raining, they duck into a nearby alley.
	"Oh, dear" said the mother, "How will we get to the car?"
	"Oh, don't worry dear, I'm sure this alley will take us to the other street."
	"Daddy!  Daddy!  No!  I'm scared of the dark!"
	"Don't be silly, Omaru, my boy!  There's nothing in the dark that isn't there in the light."
	And with that, they proceeded down the alley, which was surprisingly free of water, and light.  A single lamp hung from a stoop shown out across the narrow passage.  The three walked on, passing the light and soon hit a strange black void.  It ran perpendicular to the walls.  
	"A dead end?" the mother asked.
	"Indeed" said a voice from the blackness.
	Two eyes peered through the darkness.  They shown right at Omaru.  He was paralyzed with fear.  He didn't even notice as two midnight black tentacles leap out of the darkness and stab his parents.  
	As this parents fell to the ground, Omaru saw more eyes... fourteen more eyes.  Sixteen eyes bore at him from the darkness.
	"Kusanagi....  You will protect the prince Kushinada... you will protect him from any foolish attempt of the humans to sacrifice him.  To aid you, I will give you seven of my brother's souls.  You will use these souls to protect the Kushinada...to protect us!  Protect!  Protect!  Protect!!!...


	Years later... 

	School has since ended for the day at Central Seattle Senior High School.  Seniors converge in the parking lot, but not for long.  After the pack of contraband cigarettes, they hop in their cards and cart off.  All except one care.  
	Two Asians sit on the back of a '94 Camery.  They stare at the cloudy sky.  It is a bright sunny day, the fifth that year!  The one on the left was about 5'6" with short hair and average measurements.  She wore a striped cut off and faded, ripped jeans.  She wore a cool neon purple wristwatch on her right arm.
The second, on the right was about 5'8" with a massive build.  He was very muscular two.  His hair had a Ponytail.  He wore a sleeveless shirt and jean shorts.  They both have on those designer sneakers with the pump up action.
	"So, how did you do on the finals?" said the girl. 
	"Akane, don't ask.".
	"That bad, eh, Ranma?"
	"Yeah, well, I'm no Dougie Howser, M.D."
	"That's for sure"
	After that, a pause occurs.
	Ranma turns over and leans across Akane.  He kissed her passionately.  Eventually, they broke.
	"Thinking of tonight?" said Akane.
	"How could I NOT!"
	"Do you have protection?"
	"I'm covered."
	"I hate having to sneak around about it..."
	"C'mon, you know how your dad hates me..."
	"But..." she is cut off by an ominous shadow cast over them.  Two figures block the sun as they poise with one foot on the front bumper of the Neon.  
	"Howdy" said the one on the left.
	Ranma and Akane adjust their eyes.  Before them, to their left was a man about the same size as Ranma, 5'8", wearing a black trenchcoat and Kemp sneakers.  He also wore black leather fingerless gloves and black slacks.  He was Southern Italian in appearance with square features and really big eyebrows.  He had short dark hair brushed back.  Next to him was a shorter man at about Akane's size at 5'6".  He wore a sundress and a windbreaker along with black boots, black nail polish on all fingers, several silver earings and one nose ring. 
	"Hayes!"
	"Yes, It be me." said the one in the trenchcoat. 
	"Would you quit it with the Ebonics!"
	"Sorry, man, but you did promise us a ride home."
	"Yep" said the other one.



	"MULDER, YOU JERK!"
	While the male FBI agent got pistol whipped upside the head, Ranma found a good time to run.
