Okay, if anyone recalls that Digimon/Ranma scene I whipped up a few
months back, this is just another part of it. I still have no concrete plans
for it yet, but if anyone has input, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

======================================
"Worhtless worms!" Ranma knelt on the hard ground, Saffron's mocking
voice hammering his ears. In his arms rested Akane, lying so limp in his
grasp, almost as if...
No! She's not dead!
He glared at the golden tag she wore around her neck, the sunburst
pattern of the Crest of Courage showing through the clear slot. The old bat
had said it would help, that it would make his Digimon body even more powerful.
Yeah, right.
Ryoga knelt down beside him, cradling the wounded Akari with her
Crest of Friendship. Ranma and Ryoga had both digivolved to their highest
forms, Weregarurumon and Metalgreymon, and Saffron had just laughed as he
smacked them around like dolls. They couldn't fight him, and now Akane was...
Damnit, she ain't dead!
Nabiki stared in horror as Saffron drew ever closer to the small
group clustered on the peak of Phoenix Mountain, for once not knowing
exactly what to do. Everything she had learned about Ranma and Ryoga's
Digimon forms hadn't helped. Even in their Ultimate forms, Saffron had
beaten them easily. Drained, the two had reverted to their human forms, the
Diginiichuan being the only spring which worked like that.
"The crests will allow them to digivolve yet again," Cologne and
Jennai had said before they set off for Phoenix Mountain. "But it will not
come easy."
What were they missing?
A faint glow caught Nabiki's eye, a light so bright that it burned
away the shadows of fear and filled her with bravery she never knew could
exist. Could this be it? Was this...
Ryoga glanced down at Akari's unconscious form, the blood flowing
from her shoulder coating his hand. He'd failed, he hadn't been strong
enough. Saffron had beaten them easily, and now Akari was hurt and...
The blue glow of Akari's crest engulfed him, its soothing power
washing over him again and again. His pain vanished, replaced immediately by
a sense of power he had never felt before. The crackle of energy from
Akari's Digivice then filled his veins, and Ryoga felt himself change.
"RYOGA..." The light changed him, making him into the rookie form of
Gabumon, "FOURTH DIGIVOLVE TO..." Next came Garurumon, and Weregarurumon.
The rush of energy was intense, re-forming his mind and body into a thing he
never thought possible. His skin changed to metal, what Jennai had called
Chrome Digicite, as the digivolve completed itself. "METALGARURUMON!!!"
Ranma stared in shock at the enormous cyborg wolf beside him, the
beast reminding him somewhat of Garurumon. How had Ryoga done that? Ranma
then felt the power of the Crest of Courage slam into him, filling him with
a surge of energy beyond anything he had felt before. This was it! This had
to be what Jennai had been talking about!
"RANMA..." He became Agumon again, the fires of courage blazing
within him, "FOURTH DIGIVOLVE TO..." He became Greymon, then Metalgreymon.
Another flash of fire consumed him, golden armor forming around his body.
Twin gauntlets appeared on his arms, a trio of razor-keen blades shooting
forth from their fronts as he called his new name. "WARGREYMON!"
Nabiki gaped at the two enormous digi-destroyers in front of her,
forms of Ranma and Ryoga's digimon bodies she had never heard of standing in
defiance of the soon-to-be phoenix god.
Metalgarurumon.
Wargreymon.
This was gonna get ugly...
====================================
And that's about it. I have a few rough ideas about how the fight
would pan out, but due to other projects, I just don't have the time. If
anyone wants to flesh this scene, or the whole idea, out, then just ask.
