Having just watched most of Battle Athletes Victory, this
little fic popped into my head.

The Great Competition
A Ranma/Battle Athletes Fusion
By Kagami
---
Akane, are you going to give up your dream?
No... no, Ucchan. I will make it to the University
Satellite. Definitely. But...
Baka, a little thing like this isn't going get me down.
I'll see you there next year, Akane. Promise?
I promise, Ucchan.
Ucchan, thank you. Without you, I don't know what I would
have... Tendo Akane smiled as she waved to the cheering
crowds. Stepping out at the head of the juniors was a huge
thrill. Behind them was the entire senior group, veterans
of past Great Competitions. The stadium was packed to full
capacity to welcome the competitors, new and old, to
another year of challenges. I'll win the title this year,
Ucchan. I'll be waiting for you.
Over the roars of the crowd, she could hear the stadium
announcer introduce the appearing competitors in his own
irrepressible manner. "There she is, Japan's very own
battle goddess, Tendo Akane! The daughter of three times
Cosmo Beauty, Mido Tomoe!"
Mother. I made it. I actually made it here!
"As our viewers from Osaka will remember, Tendo Akane
managed a stunning and surprising victory in the Antarctica
Training School Championships, carrying the flag for Japan
after Kansai's great hope, Kounji Ukyo, was forced to
retire from the field. Behind Akane-chan, is the second
place-holder of those Championships, Shampoo!"
"Akane, now we on University Satellite, Shampoo no go easy
on you." The purple-haired Amazon champion grinned
slightly, promising that she would be true to her word.
"You lucky in last round of competition. Shampoo win for
sure this time."
Akane grinned back, eager for the challenge. "I won't
lose, Shampoo."
She came to a halt at the edge of the stadium field. The
others filed into ranks behind and to the side of her, but
Akane's attention was fully focused on the entering
seniors. Most of them had been at the University Satellite
for at least a year. What were their skills like? How much
of a difference was there? Her attention was drawn to the
leader of the group. The gazes of everyone else were also
drawn to the calmly walking figure in the front rank. Brown-
haired and with a gentle smile, she seemed to radiate
confidence.
"And in the front of the University Satellite seniors -
the greatest champion since the era of Mido Tomoe and
twice Cosmo Cooking Beauty: Kasumi!"
