I do not take credit for the Ranma 1/2 characters.
They are owned and created
by the goddess Rumiko Takahashi. The rights go to her
and Viz Communication. This is my own story and in no
way express how Rumiko wanted her story to go. Metal
Gear Solid was created by Hideo Kojima and is owned by
Konami Inc. With that in mind please enjoy:

Prologue:
� Thirty Seconds�
In Unison, everyone stood as they turned to face the
cargo bay doors. As they watched the bay doors open
down, a blast of cold arctic air hitting each member
of the group. Not that it affected them, since they
were wearing black insolated jumpsuits. Looking out
they could only see the black coldness of the night.
Giving a signal the team put on their night vision
goggles allowing them to see the heavy snowfall from
the winter storm.
* Bing *
A green light flashed as the team jumped out into the
night. Falling from five thousand feet. No
expression could be seen on any of their faces as the
ground was steadily coming into range. At the last
minute their chutes opened as they fell and rolled to
a standing position. As each member landed and undid
their packs. They ran off in their appointed
direction.
Standing by himself, Ryouga watched as the zoomed in
on each of his team members. Smiling, he knew that
nothing could beat Fox Hound. They were the elite
special forces. Only high officials knew of their
existence and then were only used for impossible
missions.
Zooming in on Mousse, he watched as the master of
hidden weapons quickly took out the tower guards.
Zooming in he studied Mousses Amazon counterpart
Shampoo, who herself took two guards as she nearly
crushed their skulls.
Panning over, there was Kodachi and her brother Kuno
easily eliminating five guards by a cargo truck. As
quickly as it began the fight was over.
Straight ahead of him was the target. A research
facility, a single level facility with two sub levels
hidden underneath. He knew the layout by heart. This
base was so secret not even the president knew of its
existence. Which was the reason why the base wasn�t
heavily fortified. The less attention drawn to one
place was better.
�What can I do sir?�
Ryouga turned to face the women behind him, looking
eager to get into the action. �Just stand there and
look out for any trouble.�
Saluting looking disappointed, �Yes sir�
Ryouga turned around as Shampoo approached him. �Sir,
the guards have been wiped out.�
Nodding, he took out a small radio. Turning to the
right frequency.
* �Sir� *
�I want this base secured and cleansed within the
hour, you know who to keep alive.� Turning the radio
off before an acknowledgement, he nodded to Shampoo.
In blinding speed she knocked the woman out. Picking
up the unconscious body, Shampoo slung her over a
shoulder. Walking next to Ryouga, she looked at the
hard edges of his face. He was the epitome of a
warrior, with a yellow and black polka dot bandanna
tied around his head. He was the strongest fighter in
the world. Taking off her goggles she surveyed the
land. Snow covered the large landing pad set in the
middle of the base. A small warehouse was off to the
side. The large building loomed over them; they knew
what their target was.
Ryouga looking at the unconscious girl, pity came over
his face. �Sorry, you were not meant to be on this
mission. As a warrior one must adapt to unforeseen
circumstances though.� Turning to Shampoo as he took
off his goggles, �You know where to take her.�
�I still think you should kill her, she�s a
liability.�
�You are here to follow orders.� Grinning, �Do we
have an understanding?�
Shampoo winced, �Yes sir.� She knew the intention of
that grin.
Ryouga walked into the base as he passed over the
landing pad heading towards the main entrance. His
crew was already gathered in front of the main
building. Ryouga smiled as he heard the faint sound
of helicopters coming in from the distance. �Right on
time.� Turning to his team members, �Lets go inside
and introduce ourselves.�
********
Chopping wood was such a stress reliever. Ranma loved
his house and the seclusion the surrounding brought.
The Alaskan wilderness was one place he knew nobody
would bother him. After ten years of death and
violence, this was a place he could get back his
humanity, which was something he lost many years ago.
Looking around he took in the scenery. Winter was his
favorite season; the snow-covered trees with the clean
crisp air made him felt alive.
Out of nowhere a helicopter came out from the trees.
Hovering just outside his house, the helicopter landed
as the propellers kept going. Sighing Ranma went back
to chopping his wood. Sensing somebody behind him, he
knew who it was and what they wanted. �The answer is
No.�
�Let me explain the situation. Fox Hound was sent to
infiltrate a secret research facility located in the
northern part of Alaska. Two days ago we received
word from Fox Hound leader Ryouga. He threatened to
launch nuclear missiles in 14 days. If we come close
to the facility he will launch.
Two very high officials were taken hostage and will be
killed if we come to try and rescue them. This is a
one-man mission and I can�t think of anybody else who
can pull it off. We need you Ranma.�
�I�ve retired, I�m not one of your puppets anymore
Colonel. You can go now.�
The Colonel nodded to the Helicopter. Two darts shot
out, one sticking in the neck and the other in the
shoulder of Ranma. Within seconds Ranma dropped and
fell face first into the snow.
Gesturing with his hands, two men came out of the
helicopter. They strained to pick up the unconscious
body. Dragging him into the helicopter they laid him
out on a cot.
Walking toward the helicopter, �Sorry Ranma, you don�t
have a choice in this. Too much is at stake.�
Getting in, he signaled the pilot. The Helicopter
took off blowing snow everywhere as it took off east
of Alaska.

End of Prologue
Authors Note: This may sound familiar and I�m going
to be taking a lot of the background scene from the
game, and maybe a few of the games scenes, but the
story will be different. This came to me at work and
I had to write it down. This will be a continueing
series. All history and background will be explained
as the story unfolds. Just like the game. I hope you
enjoy the series.
