Bubblegum Crisis/Ranma 1/2: The boomer that just won't die



     "Hiyru ShotenHa" Ranma shouted as he released a massive hurricane blast
toward the dark blue boomer hovering high above him "You ain't gonna get away
the easily"
  The hurricane formed right in front of Ranma, engulfing him, but leaving him
unharmed. The blast was so powerful it kept expanding till it was about twenty
meters in diameter. Some of the surrounding building were torn to shreds as they
were engulfed in the blast also. Luckily, Ranma knew they weren't occupied since
this were the slums.
  The boomer hovered backwards at a intense speed, avoiding the blast just in
time.
  "Damn, this boomer's nothing like the other ones I fought" Priss said to
herself. She had to push her suit to the limit just to avoid something that
powerful. Heck, she had to push it to the limit just to avoid the boomer down
below her.
  The blast abated, leaving Ranma standing in the middle of the street, a
massive crater surrounding him.  "Damn, I'm never gonna be able to hit that
boomer at this rate" he swore silently "It's too fast" He stood there patiently,
waiting for the boomer to hover lower so he could jump up toward it. He had was
able to leap 
high into the sky, but nowhere near as high as the boomer was hovering.
  Priss looked down at the boomer "Why isn't he following me?" She hovered down
and settled on the top roof of one of the taller buildings, gazing down at him
"Hm, it looks like this is going to be easier than I thought. This boomer can't
fly. Strange, considering how much energy it could generate. I guess I better
pick him off from up here"  
  She pointed her arm toward him and released several laser blasts directly
toward the boomer, only to have the boomer skillfully avoid it "Damn, this one's
freakin' agile"
  Ranma managed to dodge the blast just in time, leaping out of the way. As he
rolled to his feet, he looked back toward where he was standing and saw three
tiny craters there. He looked up at the boomer "Damn, that boomer's got a good
AI. It's tryin' to pick me off from a distance since it knows I'm dangerous up
close"
  Ranma dusted the sand off his clothes as he smiled confidently to himself "If
it's goin' to play that way"
  Priss watched in astonishment "Man, that boomer's even got an AI that makes it
brush it's clothes when it's dirty. What kinda monsters are Genom creating?! And
it's even smiling"
  "Mokou Takabisha!!!" he shouted as a gigantic ki blast tore from his fhands,
flying straight toward the boomer at an intese speed. The blast was so strong
that even the ground below it melted from the shear heat. The building even
started to melt before the blast hit it.
  Priss lunged off the building roof just in time as the blast ripped the entire
building to shreds. She twited in mif air as she fell toward the ground and saw
half the building just disappear from the intense heat and power of the blast.
Before she hit the gorund she managed to land safely via the use of her
boosters. But as she stood on the ground, her heart was racing. How on eart can
this boomer generate so much energy, she thought to herself. This boomer was
absolutely nothing like she had ever fought.
  Ranma stood there, watching the boomer intently, waitng to see what it would
do next. He knew that boomers always had a tendancy to charge forward to attack,
and that would be its fatal mistake. He would use his Kashuu TenshiAmaguriken
technique on it to finish it off.
  Priss stood there, waiting for the boomers next move. She looked down at her
arm and noticed that it was a bit singed from before. She knew her armor would
not be able to sustain a direct hit from another one of those deadly blasts. And
she to do everything in her power to avoid it.
  Why isn't it coming at me, Ranma thought to himself. He was eager to finish
this boomer off, but it wasn't moving. He took a step forward, only to have his
steps matached by the boomer taking a step back.
  Hm, it looks like it's trying to avoid me, he thought. He shrugged his
shoulders. That doesn't matter, I'll just pick it off from her "Horizontal Blast
revised, Hiyru ShotenHa" he shouted loudly as a huge horizontal hurricane ripped
from his hands straight toward the boomer.
  Priss wasn't able to react to it in time as the blast engulfed her entirely.
She was blown backwards into the building, the wall collapsing in from the
impact. If it weren't for her wearing the armor, every bone in her body would
have been broken, especially her spine. It would have been shattered into a
million pieces.
  She slowly got up to her feet, cluching at her ribs. A few of her ribs must
have been bruised or broken.
  Man, that boomer even acts like it's in pain, Ranma thought with a bit of awe.
I can't believe Genom got this far with its AI chips. I really looks like its
hurt. For a quick second, he almost felt a bit of remorse.
  Priss slowly made her way back out of the building through the hole. She knew
she was done for, all the boomer would have to do is finish her off. But for
some reason, it wasn't moving. It just stood there, looking at her.
  Ranma took a few steps forward and stopped, still a bit cautious about
attacking. He knew the boomer was faking an injury, so he didn't want to be
fooled.
  "Hey, Priss, you okay?" Priss heard the communicator in her helmet come to
life "Just keep him busy for a minute. We're on our way"
  "Sylia" Priss spoke back "Stay away. This thing's a monster" But it was too
late. The communicator went off. Her friends were on their way. They would
surely die if they attacked this boomer. This boomer was probably capable of
taking on a dozen Knight Sabers. She knew what she had to do. She would have to
turn 
on the suits auto destruct mode and sacrifice herself and blow the boomer up in
the process.
  Ranma stood there for a few moments, wondering what the boomer is up to. It
wasn't moving. He knew there was no chance it could ambush him since he was too
far away. He could just finish it off with his Mokou Takabisha, but something
prevented him. He felt this bit of compassion toward the boomer. Even though it
was faking pain, it almost looked like it was really hurt.
  The ground behind him exploded as Ranma instinctively jumped forward out of
the way. He rolled to his feet to see a small crater in place of where he was
just a second ago "Damn, that was close" He looked up into the sky to see two
more boomers hovering above him. They all looked the same yet different. He
noticed they all had a slightly different exoskeleton and color. 
  Ranma could feel the adrenaline surging through him as he realized he was
outnumbered. This would be the hardest fight in his life. But as he stood there,
he knew there was a good chance he could take one of them down before he
succombed. He turned around to look at the boomer. He wanted to finish it off so
he wouldn't worry about it later on.
  When his eyes rested on that supposedly injured boomer, he was shocked to see
andother boomer, a small purprle and pink one helping it out.
  Man, what kinda AI chips do these things have, he thought to himself. He
watched as the smaller boomer used its thrusters to fly it to safety, placing
the blue bommer down in the middle of the street a dozen meters away from him,
definitely out of his immdeiate reach.
  "You guys have to get out of here!" Priss told Nene "It's a goddamn moster!
It's got projectiles that's far worse than any boomer we ever encountered!"
  "What?!" Priss heard Sylia's voice from the communicator "It's got what?!"
  "Projectiles!" she talked into the communicator "They're powerful enough to
destry this entire town" 
  She looked up and noticed Linna and Sylia turn their attention toward her
after hearing something like that.
They looked back down at that single boomer and hover backwards a bit
defensively.
  "It's got a weakness" Priss said "It can't fly"
  Ranma's gaze back and forth between the two hovering boomers and the other two
in the middle of the street. It looked like they were trying to communicate with
each other. They were probably sending out radio waves that he couldn't hear.
  He knew there was one thing he could do if his assumption was correct. He
would have to destroy that injured boomer before it would transfer the data of
his fighting technique "Mokou Takabisha!" he said as he sent a ki blast
rocketing toward the two boomers on the street. He smile at the thought of
killing two boomers with one blast but was shocked to see the little purple and
pink boomer's boosters blaze into life as it jetted them both away from the huge
blast.
  "God, that thing's hot!" Nene commented as she looked at her suit. Part of her
armor was singed like Priss' 
armor. It was a lot worse than Priss' because she had reacted a bit late.
  Sylia and Linna, as they both hovered high in the sky, both shot several laser
blasts at the human-looking boomer, shocked to see it jump out of the way
skillfully. They watched the boomer roll to its feet and shout something.
  "Duo Hiyru Shoten Ha" Ranma said. He let loose two hurricane blasts, one
emerging from each fist. The first one was thrown vertically toward the sky as
the other was thrown horizontally. The vertical and horizontal blast engulfed
each other to form a diagonal blast directly toward the two hovering boomers. 
Suck on that ya damn boomers, Ranma though with a smirk.
  Both boomer managed to avoid the blast just in time, hovering to safety.
  "How the hell is it able to generate so much power?!" Nene said as she watched
her friends attack the boomer. Actually, it was more like the boomer attacking
her friends while they did all in their power to dodge its attacks "How can it
be so dangerous from a distance?!"
  "Waitaminute!!!" Priss said into her communicator "Maybe that's the only way
it's dangerous, from a distance. If you close the gap between the two of you,
you might stand a chance. It wouldn't be able to throw those blasts because it
would also get caught in it"
  Priss watched as her two friend nodded toward her to acknowledge her idea.
  "Let's get close to it and fight it hand to hand" Sylia said, readying to
punch right through the boomer. She had activated her exploding punch and was
ready to blow the entire boomer to pieces. Linna did the same. Slowly, both of
them hovered closer and closer toward the boomer on the ground.
  "That's it" Ranma said to himself with a smile "Come a little closer and taste
my Kashu TenshinAmaguriken. I'm gonna break both of your heads once ya get close
enough" He got into his battle stance, a smirk on his lips, as he waited
patiently for the two boomers to charge. He knew that this was where it would
all end. He was actually grateful. He was getting tired from throwing all those
ki-blasts. His breathing was heavy, and he would soon need some rest.
  "Why's it smiling?!" Linna said when she noticed the boomers lips.
  "I don't know" Sylia said "It's probably got something to do with the AI chip
it has"
  Both of them stopped hovering as Linna spoke "How come I got this funny
feeling that that's what the boomer wants, for us to get closer"
  While still in mid-flight, Sylia turned toward Linna, one eyes still
cautiously on the boomer "You saw what it could do from far away. Our only
chance is close combat"
  C'mon, why aren't you charging me, Ranma thought. Why are you two hesitating?
Does it have to do with their AI chips? Are they weighing the odds of close
combat as opposed to fighting from a disatance? I better not give them a chance
to react and finish the job now.
  Ranma leaped into the sky directly toward one of the boomers. He manuevered
his body in mid-flight so that his legs would wrap around one of the boomer's
arm while he would use one of his own arms to grab the boomer's other arms. That
would allow him to use his Kashuu TenshinAmaguriken on it while he held 
its limbs in place, allowing him to land every single blow on the boomer's
chest.
  "Eek!!!" Linna said as saw the boomer jump straight at her. Everything moved
in slow motion as she watched the boomer twist in mid-flight. Before she knew
what happened, the boomer was attached to her, holding her arms from moving
"Help!!!" She screamed into her communicator as she saw the boomer cock its arm
back, ready to smash a hole right through her chest.
  Ranma placed one of his feet and kicked as a laser blast almost took his head
off. He had used the boomer's chest to do a kickout so he would be propelled
backwards to avoid the laser shot. He twisted in the air and landed back on the
ground safely. He landed on the sidewalk  "Damn, how am I gonna be able to get
close to them to use my technique?" he said to himself.  He jumped out of the
way just as two bullets wizzed by his head. When he rooled to his feet and
looked toward where it had come from, he realized it was from the the purple and
pink boomer.
  "Whoa, that was close" he told himself "I better be more careful"
  He looked up toward the two hovering boomers and noticed they seemed a bit
distracted.
  "Are you okay?" Sylia said.
  "I-I'm fine" Linna said. But she wasn't. Her heart was beating faster than it
ever had. She had seen her life flash before her eyes. She thought she was going
to die right there, in mid-air.
  "Where'd it go?!" Sylia said as she realized the boomer was still nearby on
the ground somewhere. She placed a hand on Linna's arm as her booster went into
full blast, rocketing the two to a high altitude to avoid the boomer in case it
decided to jump again. Now that they were high enough from its jumping distance,
they were sitting ducks for that hurrican projectile that comes from its fists.
  Ranma looked up at the tow hovering boomers "Damn, I can't jump up and reach
them now, and I better not use my Hiyru Shoten Ha so I can save my energy" He
turned toward the two boomers in the middle of the street. The best coruse of
action was take care of those two. He started to run toward them.
  "Eek!!!" Nene said as she raised her hand and shot several laser blast in the
boomer's general direction, all of them missing "Stay away from me!!!" She
continued to shoot toward the boomer as it got closer and 
closer to the two of them.
  As Ranma got closer and closer, he wondered why that purple and pink boomer
was missing him so badly. Boomers had perfect aim, and this one was missing him
completely. Or then again, maybe it was missing him on purpose. Maybe it was a
trap. Ranma stopped dead in his tracks, not wanting to fall for a trap.
  You ain't gonna get me that easily, he thought to himself. He stood still
waiting for something to happen.
  "Why'd it stop?" Priss said as she slowly made it to her feet.  She was still
cluching her ribs, wincing as jolts of pain shot through her. She placed a hand
on Nene's shoulder he help keep her footing "Why is it hesitating? Why isn't it
attacking?"
  As Ranma stood still, even without having to look, he knew the other two
boomers had landed on the ground behind him. He didn't bother to turn around. He
knew they were trying to silently sneak up behind him. To let the boomers know
that he didn't realize they were behind him, he slowly made his way toward 
that purple and pink boomer, taking slow, steady steps, pretending his was
geeting ready for that boomer to shoot another laser blast at him. But he knew
it wouldn't because if it did, it might hit the other two boomers behind him.
  Priss and Nene watched silently as the boomer slowly made its way toward them.
They were holding their breath, not daring to breath. In just a few short
seconds, it would all be over. They both kenw that boomers had a weak spot that
they couldn't see what was coming up from behind them.
  Once Ranma knew the two boomers were close enough behind him, he squated low
to the ground and made a wide sweep backwards, hitting one of the boomers in the
ankle. A loud clank could be heard echoing through the streets of the slums as
his foot connected with solid steel. The boomer he sweeped fell to the 
ground cluching its one leg and the other boomer executed a perfect roundhouse
toward Ranma's head, intent on cleaving it off his shoudlers. Wasn't expecting
the boomer to kick him, him expecting it to attempt a punch, so he was caught a
bit off guard. All he could do was block the kick.
  The boomer's foot connected with Ranma outstretched arms, and when it hit him,
tiny boosters located around its ankle blasted, allowing it to follow the kick
through. Ranma could do nothing but absorb the impact. He was sent flying into
one of the building walls, the wall collapsing down on him.
  "Are you all right?" Sylia asked, squatting down next to Linna as she held her
ankle.
  "I think my ankle's broken" she said. She looked down at the armor around her
foot and noticed that part of it had been dented in by the shear impact of that
sweep "I can't believe it did that. How'd it know we were behind it?"
  "I don't know, but let's get outta here" Sylia said as she placed Linna's arm
around her shoulder and gently helped her to her feet "We have to retreat. That
thing's a monster"
  Slowly, the two made their way toward Priss and Nene.
  Ranma sat upright, holding his head "Man, that really hut" He rubbed at a sore
spot, wincing at pain jolted through his body. He then looked down at his ankle
"Damn, that metal's harder than I thought" His ankle was swollen a bit. He tried
to get up, but one of his arms wouldn't move. It must have been dislocated from 
the impact of that kick. He gritted his teeth as he used hid good arm to snap it
back into place. In all his years of fighting, he had never experienced so much
pain as what had just surged through his body "Arghh!!!! That hurt!!!!" After a
few moments, the pained died down and he was able to move his arm around a bit
"I guess it's than not being able to use it at all"
  "Damn, that was a nice kick" Ranma couldn't help but comment on "I never knew
boomers could kick that high" He threw some of the rubble off his body and used
his one good arm to stand up. Although he could still use his other arm, it was
almost useless. He brushed some of the debris off his shirt and made his way
back out the hold he had created when he slammed against the building. As he
stepped onto the sidewalk, he caught sight of four boomers huddle together.
  "I have to hand it to ya," Ranma said to the boomers "this is one helluva
fight. I haven't had this much fun in years" He knew that this would be his last
fight and he knew that he was going to go down fighting "You boomers are like
nothin' I ever fought before" He snapped a crick in his neck as he got back into
his battle 
stance "I guess it's time for round two"
  The four boomers just stared at him. 
  "Man, I wish you boomers could talk" Ranma said "I wish I knew what's goin'
through those stupid AI chips of yours that Genom calls a brain" 
  "We're not boomers" one of the the blue boomer said, the one that was barely
on its feet, cluching its ribs.
  "Damn, you boomers could talk?" Ranma said a bit shocked "Man, for a minute, I
actually thought for a second you were actually tellin' the truth"
  What happened next, Ranma couldn't believe. He saw the same boomer place its
hands on his head and pull it off. But what astounded him the most was what was
underneath the head. There was a beautiful woman's face that had flowing brown
hair. 
  "What do you think you're doing, Priss?" Nene said, trying to put the helmet
back over Priss' head.  "Whoa, what's goin' on here?" he said, looking at the
beautiful woman cautiously "Y-you're not a boomer?"
  "And neither are you?" one of the boomers said.
  "No" Ranma said "I'm human. What's goin' on here? I'm a bit confused" He spit
out a bit of blood from his mouth. 
  Sylia looked down at the blood on the ground before she stepped forward and
took of her own helmet "It seems we both mistakened each other for boomers"
  "I doubt you're human" Linna said, her helmet still on "Human's can't do stuff
like that"
  Ranma smiled "Well, that's kina hard to explain. I doubt you'd believe me if I
told ya. Anway, so lettme get this straight. We were both fighting each other
because we thought the other was a boomer?"
  All four girls nodded. They all regarded the handsome young man. It was kind
of nice that he didn't turn out to be a boomer. It would be a waste to destroy
something as good-looking as him. Linna and Nene both took of their own helmets.
When they noticed Ranma wipe a small trickle of blood from his mouth, they
realized there was no way he could be a boomer. Boomers don't have red blood.
  Ranma looked at the four girls cautiously for a minute before he broke into a
smile. He looked over at Priss and bowed politely "I'm sorry for what I did to
ya over there. I really thought you were a boomer. If I had known otherwise, I
wouldn't have attacked ya"
  Priss got out of her suit and slowly stepped forward up to Ranma as he
regarded her with soft eyes. When Ranma saw her get out of her suit and saw her
clad in a askin tight outfit, he blushed terribly. Priss looked at him for a
minute, a small smile on her lips. She regarded the handsome man for a second.
  "I bet you are" she said as she cocked an arm back and hit Ranma in the face
with all her might, hoping to cave his face in.
  Ranma fell backwards onto his back as Priss winced in pain. She must have
fractured a few bones in her hand from hitting him so hard.
  "Look, I'm sorry we got off to a bad start" Ranma said, getting back up "I
guess I deserved it. But like I said, I thought you were a boomer. Anway, I'm
Ranma Saotome"
  Priss' eyes widened "Y-you're Ranma Saotome?!"
  "Yep," He said smiling looking pointing toward his eyes "Do these baby blues
lie?"
  Priss cracked a smile and giggled "I'm Priss," She jerked her thumb over her
back toward her friends "and these are my friends. We're the Knight Sabers"
  "Y-You are?!" Ranma said his eyes widening "All right. I've been looking for
you guys"
  "Why's that?" Sylia said as she stepped forward. She regarded Ranma was calm
eyes. 
  Ranma said down on the ground "Two years ago, my best friend, Ukyo, was killed
by a boomer that Genom created. I came here looking for you guys because I want
to stop Genom and I can't do it by myself. I have no money, but I do know that
you hate Genom as much as I do"
  Sylia thought about this for a second. With someone like Ranma on their team,
they could easily topple the entire corporation in one shot. Ranma was the kind
of person they needed, and here he was, wanting their help.
  "You know what," Sylia said "Let's us all get aquainted first before we do
anything drastic"
  "You're right" Ranma agreed "So what do we do first?"
  "We're going to go back to out headquarters and get Priss and Linna's suits
fixed" she said "And after that, then we can come up with a plan"
  Together, the Knight Sabers and Ranma walked off into the night. 
  
  

This story popped into my head just like 'Sentenced for life' did. I don't think
it's that great a story. I made Ranma WAY too powerful. Anyway, this was just an
idea. So what do ya think? Should I continue it? If ya wanna send comments,  go
right ahead...I don't think I want to continue this unless ya really want me
to...
