Well, now that I'm fully dedicated to re-writing 'A Demon's Delight' I decided
to start looking through my archives of cut scenes to see if I had used any
ideas and forgotten about them - Then I remembered Happousai's ultimate
technique that I came up with, and a scene that he fights Ryouga with it. I
managed to find the scene which was going to be a part of 'Paradox' (which was
the pre-writing title of CCWD) and I read over it. If you've read the ADD
chapter 1 rewrite you know what the technique is - but I think it would be far
more devastating when used against a big uptight masculine martial artist, eh?
Anywayz, this scene is a stand alone product so don't expect to know what's
going on - the plot was trashed in favor of CCWD.
Happosai stood and slowly pulled the panties off of his head. He looked up at
Ryouga. "How� DARE you speak to me in such a way. I'll teach you some manners!"
"Shishi H�k�dan!!!" The attack came faster than anyone ever expected. Happosai
attempted to dodge, but still caught the brunt of the blast. Cheers erupted from
Soun and Genma as their evil master was knocked through the dojo and drilled
into the ground.
Ryouga plowed into the dojo and looked into the small tunnel he'd made in the
ground with the downward-angled blast. "Come out of there, you're not dead yet!"
No reply. Ryouga scanned the immediate area and decided he could use the Bakusai
Tenketsu without doing any real damage to the remnants of the Tendo home (The
Shishi H�k�dan had already taken care of that), so a pointed finger and an
explosion later Ryouga was in the center of a crater holding a battered Happosai
in the air by the shirt. "Why aren't you fighting back? I've seen you beat Ranma
with ease before, so why are you holding back on me?"
"You know so little, ---TEXT CENSORED TO KILL SPOILERS FROM ADD1 REWRITE---. As
for your question concerning my holding back, HAPPO FIRE-BURST!" Happosai
flipped up and knocked Ryouga's hand away, then jumped back and released a volly
of explosives from hammer space. The resulting blasts engulfed Ryouga and
cratered the ground ever-deeper.
"Now you will learn the true terror of your insolent behavior, behold!
Anything-Goes Ad-Libbed On the Spot and Extremely Experimental but Devastatingly
Awesome Ultimate Technique of Utter Destruction and Unbearable Humiliation�
***PROM NIGHT SPECIAL***"
Soun, Genma, Nabiki, and Kasumi watched in horror at the events that unfolded.
In 14.8 seconds Happosai dealt extreme damage with the following attacks: 142
separate Happo-Firebursts, a fireball of intense heat that burned away most of
Ryouga's clothing, a throw that landed Ryouga flat on his face, a burst attack
that blew his shoes off and charred his feet, and a Bean Jam Blowout that sent
him flying into the sky. Happosai ran over to the boxes of clothing and quickly
rummaged through them, producing a dress, a pair of brand new high heels, a pair
of pantyhose that immediately gave him yet more strength to continue, a bra of
radiant lacy materials, a wig, and finally a complete set of makeup. With his
new weapons he ascended to the sky to initiate the most powerful and devastating
phase of his new attack.
Genma-panda's jaw dropped to the floor in amazement when Ryouga fell to the
ground. He was battered, bruised, beaten, and burned into submission... and he
was wearing a dress with all the accessories. Happosai stood on top of the
almost-unconscious Ryouga and laughed himself breathless. After a few seconds of
quick looks half of the audience began to cheer Happosai for defeating the evil
Ryouga.
Kasumi winced a bit in sympathy pain for Ryouga, then smiled, "My goodness, I
didn't realize Ryouga could look so feminine!"
Nabiki's internal alarms blared warnings when Kasumi made her comment for two
reasons. One being that Ryouga *never* lost a fight this quickly after he'd
learned the Bakusai Tenketsu technique, two being that Ryouga's emotional
security was even worse than Ranma's. She added one and two together to get
three - Ryouga was about to get up and cause massive damage, quite probably
destroying the dojo in the process.
Ryouga stammered, "Fem�i..nine? Feminine? Me?" he rubbed his face with his
right hand and then he saw it.
A pink silk dress.
With ruffles.
On him.
With people watching.
He looked at his hands, and saw smeared lipstick and various other cosmetics.
His battle aura grew.
He moved his hand to grab a few throwing bandanas, and felt the wig.
His battle aura grew more.
He stood up, then stumbled back and fell due to the high heels.
His battle aura increased in size and power.
He leaned up, and saw the pair of pantyhose covering his legs.
His battle aura engulfed the yard and the dojo.
He looked at his chest, and saw two perfect breast forms.
His battle aura responded by engulfing nearby houses.
He produced a mirror from hammerspace and looked at himself. Despite the
smeared makeup he looked as close to a girl as he would ever get. His heart rate
exploded to nine times over the fatal level and his battle aura began to ripple
violently� His knees began to shake, and a nauseous feeling threatened to land
him on the ground. Nabiki summed the situation up with a rare bit of vulgarity:
"Oh shit."
"SHISHI HOKODAN PERFECT!" Ryouga totally forgot about his previous efforts to
contain the damage to the dojo and let loose with his most powerful technique.
Nuclear holocaust rained down and wiped out the dojo, vaporized the carp pond,
and incinerated everything in the immediate area. That is, except Happosai;
Okay, right about there is when I decided I'd gone far enough. I'm glad I did,
too. CCWD is turning out to be a lot better than 'Paradox' had the capability to
be. It's all in the mind, I guess...
Until my next cut-scene...
