Just having a little fun with my own story.

	Nesh'Rk, pilot of the "Joker's Wilde", turned to face Commander
Deevra Murishawa with a large grin on his furry face.  "We've found a
clear landing area for the shuttle, sir.  It's in a small town, next
to some minor buildings."
	Deevra looked down at the pilot from his command chair with a smile
and replied, "Perfect.  We should be able to find Ryoko within a few
hours.  Once we land, have the troops prepped for battle and assembled
in the docking bay.  We're heading out."  He then got up and left the
bridge.
	As Nesh'Rk began the menial process of landing the ship, his partner,
Vol, turned to him and asked, "Think the Commander's gone over the
edge about this?"
	Nesh'Rk just continued to work the controls, bringing the massive
ship to the grassy field as carefully as he could.  "The boss knows
what he's doing.  Just get the ship down carefully and then get us out
again.  That's our jobs."
	"I know," Vol mused, "But I can't help but think of any innocents
that might get hurt while the Commander does his job."
	"Try not to think about it," Nesh'Rk suggested. "It's the only way
you'll ever stay sane."

	Ranma Saotome, heir to the "Anything goes school of martial arts" was
not having a good day.  First, he comes across half of his worst
enemies plotting together to beat him.  Then he has to deal with his
insane teacher, Mrs. Hinako.  Then this big� thing, lands in the
schoolyard.
	It was bigger than the entire school, stretching out over the field
with four great leg-shaped objects.  Its body was mostly cylindrical,
yet the front was shaped like a dog's head.  Strange weapons and
antennae jutted out from all over it, giving it a fierce look. 
	"Ranma.  Is this your fault?" his so-called fiancee, Akane Tendo,
asked.
	"I had nothing to do with this, Akane I swear," he defended,
preparing for the inevitable assault.  Akane was just about to hit him
when the thing opened up�

	"Alright, men.  We are heading into strange territory.  We have no
idea where Ryoko might be so search everywhere.  And try not to hurt
the civilians.  You got me?" Deevra shouted as the main cargo bay to
the lander opened.
	"Yes sir!" he received from the soldiers in unnison.  They were
equipped in dozens of different suits, all designed for high-powered
combat.
	"Then head out!" he shouted as he attached his armored suit's
tactical helmet.  The troops rushed out of the cargo bay screaming
battle chants, Deevra in the lead.

	"What the hell is going on here?" a student asked in bewilderment as
a horde of armored creatures rushed out of the dog-like object.
	"How should I know?" another replied.  "Just run!"
	"I for one, will not run.  I shall smite these newest interloppers,"
a loud voice announced.
	Ranma turned to see the owner of the voice, a young boy wearing black
pants and a blue shirt, carrying a wooden sword in one hand.  "Kuno. 
What do you think you're doing?"
	"I'm going to defeat these cretins," the boy replied.
	"You don't even know who they are!" Ranma shouted as the boy rushed
forward, preparing to attack the rushing horde.

	"Sir, one of the inhabitants is threatining us," Decker Ryman pointed
out as he rushed over the ground at top speed.
	"Do not harm him.  Use the pressurized cannons," Deevra replied,
preparing his own weaponry.
	Ryman stopped suddenly, planting his feet on the ground with a
powerful jerk.  He reached one mechanized arm to his backpack and
removed a high-tech piece of machinery.  In one quick move, he swung
the object around to the front, aimed it at the human, and fired.

	Kuno was prepared for anything.  Anything, that is, except a
high-tech version of an old toy: a water gun.  The water struck him
with such force that he was flung into the wall of the
school-building.  "That was not sporting," Kuno noted, before falling
to the ground, unconcious.

	"Opposition eliminated, sir.  Continuing further�" Ryman reported,
pausing as he saw a blur of pink and red rush at him.  His armored
suit's sensors went haywire as they registered a tremendous force was
crushing it.  "Sir!  Something's latched onto me!  It won't come off!"
he screamed in panic.

	Ranma stared in shock as he saw the same creature who had defeated
Kuno was being crushed by Azusa, who was happily babbiling, "Alphonse,
Alphonse!" as she hugged it with glee.  Bolts of electricity launched
from the creature frantically, but to no avail.

	"Keep calm Ryman.  Activate your electrical bursts.  That should
shock the creature off you," Deevra said as he stopped his own
foreward momentum.
	"I've already tried, sir!  It won't come off!" Ryman shouted running
around frantically as he waved his arms about.  "Get it off!  Get it
off!"
	[Where the hell are we?] Deevra thought to himself as he rushed to
his officer's aid.
