Ryoga Hibiki ran full tilt into the factory, trying to avoid the alien
composite of flesh and metal that had once been called  Rubeus. Ryoga was
wearing the standard recon light armor and tattoos, and suddenly noticed
a smoke trail of a grenade by his foot. He cartwheeled out of its way and
ducked through a passage.
"Why are you making it so hard on yourself?" Again his taunts, unlike any
of the other of these alien cyborgs which Ryoga had been sent to
exterminate. Rubeus had his left hand replaced with a cylinder that could
split open, popping out an actually rather cool looking miniature gatling
gun. He wore a grenade packed bandolier. The Black Moon mark was still on
his forehead. "You could just come peacefully. The assimilation process
actually isn't as painful as you may think...." Then, Rubeus strafed the
corner, getting closer to where Ryoga was and tossing grenades into every
cluster of boxes in the warehouse they were currently in. It had been
cleared just before, but then Ryoga had been driven back. He took a small
gun out of its holster and was glad he had kept the gun.
{insert flashback I'll do later here}
He readied it. Just as Rubeus came to the small area. < I'll have maybe a
second when his gun opens up to act, or maybe I'll be lucky and he'd like
to give me a fucking speech like in the movies.> He didn't wonder if he
was going to die or not. He would make it. He had to. Ukyo, Akane, and
Ranma counted on him. Ryoga got in a variation of a defensive stance so
that he could fire the autopistol when Rubeus strode in. As he said,
"Aha!-" and his gun opened up. Ryoga snapped 2 shots at the pompous
motherfucker's face and then spinned into a jump kick, knocking the
cyborg across the room and into some boxes. Ryoga ran at it to check if
he had finished it off when suddenly the cyborg got back up and
backhanded Ryoga with the chunk of twisted metal that had been his
gun-hand. Ryoga knocked back so fast, he barely felt the metal cut into
the side of his head. The blood clouded his vision as Rubeus began to
beat Ryoga, kicking him and gloating all the while. "..You could have
joined us, vermin. Now you will join your Earth friends in hell." He
raised his un-hand to impale. Strangely enough, all Ryoga could think of
was wondering how the other survivors of the attack on Nerima were doing,
and if they were thinking of him. The shreds of metal shot down- And then
Rubeus exploded. His body was ripped to shreds and pieces of it flew
through the air. Ryoga heard someone quip, "It's 3-1, my lead,
Ryoga-san." 
"Ryoko?!"
