I guess you guys wonder why i post rough chapters of everything, well
the thing is that I want to get the ideas out before I start revising
and stuff. So here's part six of Revival.

Ranma 1/2

Revival Pt6

By Belphera

Chpt 6

(The sun shines through the window of a room. The light travels
teasingly along the room until it reaches full bloom. The room is a bit
spartan except for a few feminine touches here and there. A bed sits in
the middle of the room among. Within the confines of the blankets is a
pair of bodies resting comfortably. Akane and Ranma sleep in each
other's embrace, oblivious the awakening environment around them. Peace
reigned throughout the room until...)

Rei: Ranma! Akane! School's going to start soon! We gotta go! ( Barging
into the room she woke the couple up.)

Ranma: (Sleepily) Rei? Wha-? School? (Ranma stutters incoherently.)

Akane: (Looks at the clock beside her.) School. (Then noticing the
time.) Oh no! We're going to be late for school! Ranma get up, we have
to leave!

Ranma: Damn! (quickly he gets up and goes to get some fresh clothes.)

Rei: (Blushing deeply.) Ranma! For heaven's sake, cover up!

Ranma: huh? (Then notices his nudity.) Ack! (picking up a towel he wraps
it around himself.) Akane, I'm going to take a bath. Then we'll go.
(Leaving the room in a hurry, he runs out of the room and into the
bathroom.)

Akane: (Shaking her head, then stretches, wincing at the pain in her
nether reigions.) Wow what a night!

Rei: Uh, Akane? Did you and Ranma...you know last night?

Akane: (Finally awake and aware of Rei, attempts to covers herself with
a blanket and is blushing beet red.) Yeah, it was great.

Rei:.....

(Suddenly Nodoka walks into the room with some sheets. She takes one
look at Akane and stared.)

Nodoka: Akane! You didn't!

Akane: Yes we did! (Smiling brightly.)

Nodoka: (smiling)Well, I guess that cements it, my son truly loves you.

Akane: I know, I just feel like bursting with joy!

Nodoka: (Walking over to Akane.) You can burst with joy after you get
dressed and get to school. (Then drags Rei out of the room.)

(Akane smiles to herself and looks around. Getting up she quickly takes
a bath and gets dressed then she heads downstairs. Once downstairs, she
sees Ranma already there wolfing down as much food as possible. Taking
her seat next to Ranma, she sits and smiles as she bathes in the
afterglow. After breakfast, they all piled into the car and Ranma drove
them to school again. Along the way to school they chat idly about
different things. Rei talked about her friend at school, and Ranma
talked about martial arts. After the morning routine, they got to class,
barely making it.)

Serena: (Whispering to Akane, after she got seated.) hey Akane!

Akane: yeah?

Serena: Are you alright?

Akane: Of course, why wouldn't I be?

Serena: I dunno, You are walking kinda strange.

Akane: (Blushing slightly)............

(Classes went in slow motion as the teachers droned on and on. Most of
the students were not paying much attention, after all their prom was
coming up, who could keep their mind on things? The day went smoothly as
the count down to the prom dance began. The air was suddenly filled with
love, love letters exchanged. The dates for the proms were set, and the
selecting for the prom King and Queen began. One day during lunch, the
girls sat together talking about their prom dates and their dresses.)

Mina: So what kind of a dress are you wearing Akane?

Akane: I don't know I haven't really thought about it yet.

Serena: oh, I know, why don't we go shopping for our dresses!

Ami: Actually that is a good idea.

Rei: Wait a minute! Who are you going to the prom with Ami?

Ami: I don't know yet, a couple of boys came to ask me, but they don't
have a very good reputation.

Akane: Wait, I might know someone who would go to the prom with you.

Ami: Does he go to our school?

Akane: No, but he is a good friend of Ranma and me.

Ami: Who is it?

Akane: Ryouga.

Lita: isn't he that guy who almost killed us last week?

Akane: yeah,(Feeling her anger coming back. But it fades because of what
Ranma had told her.)but I think he was just a little angry, he gets very
overprotective over me.

Ami: I don't know, what if he gets angry again?

Akane: Oh he won't, I'll talk to him beforehand (smiling evilly)
personally.

Ami: Well, I don't know him too well, if you can arrange a meeting
between us then, I'll think about it.

Akane: Thanks (Then thinking deeply) Ami this means a lot to me. You see
something happened a few months ago to Ryouga and he just hasn't been
the same since.

Ami: (concerned) What was it?

Akane: (Sadly) I can't tell you, but he'll tell you if you want to know.

Serena: well then it's settled. Oh, Akane what time do you want to go to
shop?

Akane: Anytime!

Serena: how about you guys?

Lita: you bet, I gotta look my best for Andrew.

Mina: Definitely!

Rei: I guess.

Ami: only if we don't get anymore homework.

Mioki: I'm in!

Akane: Mioki, you're not going to the prom are you?

Mioki: yep, one of Ranma's friends asked me.

Serena: Who?

Mioki: Hiro I think.

Akane: Oh, did you tell Ranma yet?

Mioki: yes....(In the distance they could hear Hiro screaming. " Okay
Ranma! I won't try anything! Now stop glowing! No! No! Put down the
tree!")

Akane: (sighing) Mioki you should probably go and save your prom date.

(Later on in the day, the group has headed to the mall. The girls form a
group as the guys form another. Ranma, Darien, Andrew and Hiro all
mutually decide that they were just going to hang around. Sitting at the
fountain, they talk about guy stuff for a while.)

Darien: So Ranma are you ever going to teach me how to move as fast as
you do?

Ranma: It's in the training my good man.

Darien: Well would you consider training me?

Ranma: Sure, but it'll be hard, how about after school at the temple?

Darien: I'll be there.

Hiro: Hey you mind if I join in?

Ranma: No problem. Just be sure to get your lazy butt to the temple.

Hiro: Hey!

Ranma: Hey Darien, do you know why Rei is always so sad?

Darien: No, I guess that's how she is.

Ranma: I dunno, she's my cousin and all, I just don't like to see her
sad.

Darien: Well who's she going to the prom with?

Ranma: I think it was one of your friends, um Chad?

Andrew: No, I just spoke with Chad. He's not going with her, he found a
girlfriend.

Darien: Maybe that's why she's down.

Hiro: Ranma why don't you fix her up with someone?

Ranma: yeah but who?

A voice: Ranma I would have a word with you.

(Turning around Ranma sees a familiar figure, it is Herb.)

Ranma: (surprised) Herb! What are you doing here?

Herb: I came here to show you that I, Herb, is not one to disregard a
debt.

Ranma: What is it now?

Herb: (removes a pair of gems from his cloak.) These two gems are a
thank you from me to you for saving my life.

Ranma: Uh.....

Herb: These gems have a long legacy of dragon lineage behind it.

Ranma: Thanks, I think. (thinking) I graciously accept your gift.

Herb: now I must be going.

Ranma: (Objecting) Naw, why don't you just stay with us for a bit?

Herb: I am a descendant of the almighty Dragon, I do not dwell with
commoners.

Ranma: Perhaps you can find a new wife while you are looking.

Herb: A great man as myself will not....A wife? (pondering) Very well, I
will search for one who could be suitable for a mate of mine.

 (The two go off and talk about several fighting techniques. Darien,
Andrew, and Hiro are introduced to Hiroshi. And the group wanders off.)

(Meanwhile, on the other side of the mall the girls are gossiping.
Together they are looking at some dresses.)

Mina: So Akane how was your first time?

Akane: huh?

Lita: oh come on, Lisann is your daughter, you must have done it when
you were real young.

Akane: Oh yeah, let's just say it was so good that I can hardly remember
it.

Mina: ohhhh, you are so lucky!

Akane: Why?

Serena: Because Ranma is the number one guy at school.

Akane: What do you mean.

Serena: At school we rated all the guys and Ranma was number one.

Lita: Yeah with a body like that! I would give anything to be in your
shoes now Akane.

Mina: not to mention he is like a martial arts god.

Lita: I know what you mean.

Serena: (picking up a dress) Hey guys what do you think about this
dress? (The dress is pink and has no shoulders.)

Ami: It looks very nice Serena, but I think you would look much better
in another dress.

(The inner Senshi nodded, they all wanted Serena to go as Serenity and
Darien as Endymion for the prom. It would make them an absolute shoo-in
for Prom King and Queen.)

Serena: I know, but who knows I might find a better looking dress.

Mioki: Akane! I found the perfect dress for me! (The dress which she
held up was perfect. It looked like an ancient design, but a new and
fantasy-like fashion mixed in.)

Mina: Wow, where did you find it?

Mioki: It's in a shop across from here, come on I'll show you

Lita: Well let's go!

(The shop across the store was truly a site to be seen. There were only
a few dresses in the store, but five dresses were on display. A
storeowner comes up to them, for some reason she looks familiar to
them.)

Storeowner: Ah more customers, you like what you see?

Mina: yes, These dresses are beautiful where are they from?

Storeowner: Ah they were modeled after a style from an Old Kingdom.

Rei: We'll just look around for a while okay?

Storeowner: of course.

Mina: (Amazed) Wow! Look at this dress! (pointing to a beautiful yellow
dress. The dress was much like a sundress, but the skirt part was much
like an evening gown.)

Lita: (Spotting one in green.) Look at this one, I'm calling this one.
(The green dress was much like Mina's dress, except it was green and the
top portion was cut deeper. Her skirt was designed much like a rose.)

Rei: (Fingering a red dress.) (thinking to herself) God this looks so
much like the dress I wore in Crystal Tokyo and back in the Moon
kingdom. (The dress was cut low. Her skirt was long and flowing.)
Something isn't right. These dresses are too much of a coincidence.
(Probing the storekeepers for any evil intents, but sensed none. Still
suspicious she fingers the dress and wonders why it looked so much like
the Moon Kingdom's dress she wore.)

Ami: (Looking at a Blue dress.) It's beautiful. (The dress was like
Lita's but the cut wasn't as deep, and the skirt was medium but flowing
like water.)

Serena: (Looking at the dress before her.) hey guys come here! (The
Inner Senshi move towards their princess and look at what she is looking
at.) Isn't that...(It is the almost identical dress to the one that
Neo-Queen Serenity wore. Except where the wings should be, there was a
huge bow.)

Rei: This is weird, these dresses look like the ones we wore back on the
moon. I'm suspicious, I think we shouldn't buy these dresses.

Mina: I know, but they are so beautiful, I'm going to get it.

Rei: I don't know....

Mina: Come one Rei you don't want to go to the prom without a dress now
do you?

Rei: I guess not.

Storeowner: Well have you young ladies chosen your dresses?

(Still walking along the mall, Ranma spots a strange store and goes
over. Looking in he finds out that it is a store that sells antique
weapons and other things. Rushing in Ranma and the others look through
the swords. It seemed strange to them that they would find such a store.
Ranma was actually overjoyed that they had something they could actually
look at.)

Darien: Hey Ranma, look at this one.

(Moving to Darien's side Ranma looked in on the display case. The sword
there was perfect, it was a bit long. It was not really recognizable as
either a Japanese or Chinese sword. It even looked a bit European. At
the handle was a dragon coiled around it and the dragon head at the end
of the handle. However the center of the center piece was missing
something.)

Storekeeper: Ah, I see you like the legendary sword of the Dragon King.
Very ,very old, cannot sell.

Ranma: What?! What do you mean you cannot sell it?

Storekeeper: Too valuable. Unless you pass test.

Ranma: What test?

Herb: Perhaps I can buy the sword from you, after all I am the
descendant of a dragon.

Storekeeper: Then perhaps you can pass the test. (Lifting blade out of
its place.) Create a flame with the sword.

Herb: Easily done, a Master of Chi can ignite any sword. (Concentrating,
he fails.) Strange, perhaps only one can do this. It is sad to say that
even I Master of Chi can not do this.

Ranma: Let me try. (Taking the sword into his hand, he concentrates at
the sword, trying to force his chi into it. Alas he does not succeed.)
no I can do this!. (Taking out the ruby that herb gave to him, he pushes
it into the circular area on the centerpiece. Then he concentrates as he
hears a rushing sound. Suddenly the sword bursts into flames as the
others jump back.)

Storekeeper: (Shocked) you did it! Wow, you can have the sword!

Ranma: Thanks, but do you know how to stop the flames?

______________________________________________________________________________________

(Back at the store where the girls were being fitted for their dresses,
Akane sat by and watched. She hadn't picked a dress because none of them
really was what she wanted. Oh well she could always come back next
time. But the prom was within the end week.)

Akane: sigh.....

Storeowner: young lady, would you like to try on any dresses?

Akane: no thank you, I've looked, Nothing really interests me anyway.

Storeowner: No? A girl like you must have something beautiful to go
along with your pretty face.

Akane: I will, don't worry.

Storeowner: how about you choose a tiara or crown?

Akane: Huh?

Storeowner: Come I will show you, we have stock of crowns and tiaras.

(Leading Akane to the back room, Akane looks at the items. The store
lady points out each one and what significance it has. She even showed
her the crown for the prom queen that was ordered here. Finally Akane
looks at the tiaras herself and came across one that didn't have a stone
in it, but had the most beautiful and intricate designs. Picking it up
she looked at it. The designs were of a Phoenix and a dragon one on each
side of where the stone should have been.)

Storeowner: Ah, do you like this one? That is too bad, I can't sell it
to you, it doesn't have a stone.

Akane: Do you think I can have it anyway?

Storeowner: I suppose, but I will still have to charge you for the tiara
itself.

Akane: That's okay, somehow I feel like I've seen this before.

______________________________________________________________________________________


(Walking out of the store proudly, Ranma hung the sword by his side
while Herb grumbled behind him. Darien had bought a katana and strapped
it across his waist. The group finally decided that perhaps they should
go and look for the girls. Passing by an ice cream store, Ranma decided
that he was hungry so an hour later.)

Darien: Ranma come on! Let's go!

Ranma: Wait! I haven't tried flavor 100 yet!

Andrew: Ranma! If we don't find the girls now think of what Akane'll do
to you!

Ranma: (Stopping) Hmmm..... good point.

Hiro: Man I don't think I've ever seen anyone eat that much!

Herb: You'd be surprised at his father.

Ranma: you know today has been a perfect day, wonder what could go
wrong. (No sooner than he had said it, he quickly slapped his hand over
his mouth.) Damn!

Ryouga: Ranma! Prepare to die!

Ranma: Ryouga! I thought I told you never to bother me again! You hurt
Akane and Lisann, where's your honor!

Ryouga: It was a mistake! (Unshed tears in his eyes.) I didn't mean to
do it! I was just in a state of rage! This is all your fault!

Ranma: Right and what I do sometimes are mistakes? Think about it, your
curse is your fault, your loss of a fight was your fault, not mine!

Ryouga: No those things were your fault! (Glowing with chi) Now prepare
to suffer!

Herb: Noble Ryouga, do you want to become a murderer?

Ryouga: (Chi dampening.) What?

Herb: If you release a chi attack in here then you will definitely hit
someone and they could die.

Ryouga: (Not wanting to become a murderer of innocent people, drained
out his chi.) You got lucky this time Ranma, next time I see you, you're
dead!

Ranma: (Suddenly remembering something.) Ryouga, you really want to help
Akane?

Ryouga: (Chi flaring a bit again.) Of course I do.

Ranma: Then you will help me and jiji on something.

Ryouga: (Suspiciously.) Like what?

Ranma: (Cautiously walking forward. And whispering.) Ryouga, Lisann was
not born out of Akane.

Ryouga: (Chi fading.) What? She is your child right?

Ranma: (Whispering) Keep your voice down! (Looking back at the others,
who took the cue and walked a distance away to the ice cream store.)
Lisann is biologically me and Akane's but we don't know how she got
here. Think about it, she's six, we're eighteen.

Ryouga: You mean you took Akane's honor when she was twelve?!

Ranma: No you idiot! Dr. Tofu said that Lisann was grown out of test
tube, meaning someone took my sperm and Akane's eggs. Jiji thinks it is
the orphanage that Lisann and Mioki came out from.

Ryouga: (Eyes narrowing.) You sure about this?

Ranma: Yeah.

Ryouga: (Thinking intensely for a moment.) Fine, I'll meet you there.

Ranma: no way! You're going to get lost again, until we leave for the
orphanage, you are staying with me and Akane!

Ryouga: (Happily) Me? Then maybe I can finally tell Akane that I'm in
love with her!

Ranma: (sigh) I think this is a mistake.

______________________________________________________________________________________

(Laughing as they came from the store, Akane and the Senshi went to the
restrooms. Akane wanted to call the Tsukino home to check on Lisann.)

Akane: (Listening for the phone ringing)....

Voice: (picking up the phone) hello, Tsukino residence.

Akane: Hi! It's me, Akane!

Serena's Mother: Akane! how's the shopping going?

Akane: Everyone's got a dress already, except me, but I think I'll buy
another dress another time.

Mrs. Tsukino: Well now take your time!

Akane: how's Lisann?

Mrs. Tsukino: She's fine, and so bright too! You must be so proud.

Akane: Yep, Just calling because the girls an me want to go eat dinner
somewhere here, so we will be late getting back to your place.

Mrs. Tsukino: Don't worry about it! I'll take care of Lisann!

Akane: Thanks Auntie! (hangs up the phones. Turning back to the group
she sees Serena on  a scale.)

Rei: how is this possible!

Serena: I guess I'm just better than you. So take that!

Akane: (coming over) What's going on?

Serena: I weigh less than Rei!

Rei: Well you don't have to broadcast it out!

(As the others emerged from the bathrooms, they teased Rei about the
incident. However, A large noise interrupted them from their teasing.)

Voice: Die Ranma! (Sounds of smashing glass and other objects.)

Akane: (recognizing the voices) Oh no! Ryouga's here fighting with
Ranma!

(The group rushed over to where they heard the noise. Running into the
room preparing for the worst, they were shocked to see what they saw.
Ranma and Ryouga were duking it out...on a small monitor in a video
game.)

Ranma: Ha! Ryouga, you can't catch me in this game... just like in real
life!

Ryouga: (irritated, and quickly slicing his katana at Ranma's
character.) Shut up and play!

Ranma: (his character finally getting one last hit on Ryouga's
character.)  ha! Gotcha!

Ryouga: Grrrrrrrr.......

(Akane and the Senshi cautiously walk over the group of guys huddled
over the video game.)

Serena: Darien! I want to show you the dress I got for the prom!

Darien: no that's okay, I'm fine here.

Serena: But Darien, it's so beautiful! Let's go!

Darien: But...

Ranma: (Solemnly) The path of a boyfriend is filled with peril and
hardship. Go Darien, go and face your destiny.

Darien: But....

Hiro: yeah man, you have to go, we'll be here waiting for ya, and we'll
pray for your safe return.

Mioki: (Grabbing Hiro) you're coming with me too!

Hiro: Come on! I don't want to go.

Ranma: Hiro, you're going, you wouldn't want to make MIOKI sad would
you?

Hiro: No way man! You aren't serious....

Ranma: (resting his palm on the hilt of his sword).....

Hiro: (Almost crying) you're so cruel.

Andrew: (Speaking finally) I'll keep you company. I would love to see
Lita's dress.

Hiro: Thanks. Great. More the merrier.

Akane: (Smiling) Oh Ranma....

Ranma: (realizing it already) Uhhhh.....I.....have to (looking around
for an escape) um....go get food!

Hiro: Yeah that sounds like a great idea! Um, let's go get food.

Darien: yeah Serena, you must be starved!

Ranma: Com'on guys let's go order. (running off with Darien and Hiro
trailing him.)

Akane: Wow! I don't think he's ever moved that fast before. (Then
spotting Ryouga.) Ryouga!

Ryouga: (seeing Akane, and remembering what he did.) A-Akane. (kowtowing
at her feet.) I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to throw that blast! I-I - I
was just so angry at Ranma! I wanted to get rid of her. I'm so sorry
please forgive me!

Akane: (looks at him for one second then hammers him.) Ryouga, Lisann is
my daughter! I love her very much, I know you and Ranma have a rival
going on, but don't do anything to her! You're lucky Ranma doesn't hold
much of a grudge.

Ryouga: (Standing up) I'm sorry! I was just so angry at Ranma.

Akane: (Calming down.) I understand a bit, but I'm still disappointed at
you. But I'd still like to consider you my friend, only if you promise
not to do anything to Ranma or Lisann ever again.

Ryouga: Anything! I promise!

Akane: (Smiling) Good! Now there's someone I want you to meet. (Then
Ranma and Darien and Hiro com huffing back.)

Darien: Food court's been closed, they said that someone spotted live
meat in the kitchen a few hours ago. Some piglet. We can only go to some
restaurants for dinner.

Serena: Great, it's a date!

(The group walks along and looking for a restaurant to eat at. Akane
introduces Ryouga to Ami, and the two hit it off somewhat. Herb
introduces himself to Rei. And All is well....for now. What they do not
know is that they are being watched.)

(will add more scenes at the restaurant)

(Settling down in their room, Akane and Ranma  quickly change into their
night clothes. Ryouga was camped in the backyard because there was no
more room for anymore guests.)

Akane: Ranma...the prom is this week, I haven't picked a dress yet.

Ranma: That's okay, you don't need one. You got plenty of dresses at
home.

Akane: I know, still I wanted our senior prom to be special.

Ranma: (Lying on the bed) But it's going to be. I mean we can spend a
night without any of the other girls, we'll be together, what more could
we want.

Akane: I don't know, somehow I have a funny feeling about the prom, I
just wanted it to be special. (lying down on the bed as well.)

(Door opens as Lisann pokes her head in the room.)

Lisann: Mommy? Daddy?

Akane: yes honey?

Lisann: Can I sleep with you two tonight?

Akane: Sure hop in! (Lisann smiles and runs over to the bed.)

Lisann: (Snuggled between Ranma and Akane) Daddy could you tell me a
story?

Ranma: A story?I don't know too many...

Lisann: Please....

Ranma: Um, I guess I can think of one.

Lisann: Good.

Ranma: (Thinking deeply. Ranma finally begins his story)

'Once there was a kingdom that ruled the universe. The kingdom was ruled
by seven kings there was the Falcon King, he controlled most of the
flying creatures. He was majestic and free. He ruled the sky and with
his queen by the side, they ensured that all was peaceful in their
realm. Then there was the Ox king, who was dumb as an ox, but always
honorable. He ruled all farm animals. There was also the monkey king. He
was a gentle and witty king, he was always thinking and never tried to
do thinks the easy way. The fourth king was the boar king, he was much
like the ox king. He was an honorable man and always helped those in
need. But he was arrogant. The fifth king was the Wolf king. This king
ruled our planet, he was strict but a kind soul. He had a beautiful
queen by his side, who held goddess like abilities. Together they
maintained the earth. The sixth king was the tiger king. He was the
general of all the armies of the universe, he had enormous strength and
was a very stern man. He was always arguing with the last king, but they
were the best of friends. The last king was the king who held everyone
together. The dragon King. With is wife the phoenix, the Dragon king
ruled near and far with a gentle reign. He held powers unparalleled to
anyone else. He was the ultimate. Together these seven kings and seven
queens kept peace in the lands.'

Lisann: But Daddy, what happened to them.

Ranma: Well, an evil force came over the kingdom and destroyed it all.
In the end the Dragon king sacrificed it all to save all of life.

Lisann: That's sad.

Ranma: I know. I know.(Thinking) God why do I feel so awful. I feel like
�KI
Really did go through the experience.

(Holding Lisann and Akane close to him, Ranma drifted off to sleep. High
above him the clouds shifted, the heavens shuddered. The time was
coming. The day of resurrection was close by. Far back at Nermia,
Happousei looked up into the sky and a tear dropped down to the ground.)

Happousei: The time is at hand, (Looking towards the Nekohatten) I'm
sorry Co-chan.


End of Part 6
