Here are a few scenes from my upcoming Just Won't Die 1. I'll be posting this
fic in parts before the end of the day.....
...
Ranma gets mistaken for a superboomer. The Knight Sabers attack Ranma...
"Sylia!!!" Linna said as she gently cradled her friend in her arms
"Speak to me!!! Wake up!!!"
"Get away from here," Sylia managed to say before lapsing into
unconsciousness.
"No!" Linna said. She looked over at the boomer and then back at
Sylia. She had to get her friend to safety. She opened Sylia's suit
up and took her into her arms. She then proceeded to limp toward
Priss and Nene.
"Get out of here!!! Priss, use your boosters to take Nene and Sylia to
safety!!! I'll keep it distracted!!!"
Linna felt something grab hold of her shoulder. She knew it was the
boomer. She and Sylia were done for. She placed Sylia to the ground
and turned to face the boomer. She had to go down fighting. She
cocked her arm back and punched toward the boomer, only to have the
boomer catch her fist. She tried to punch it with her other hand, but
the boomer also caught it. It regarded Linna with curious eyes.
"What are you waiting for?!" Linna said, "Finish us off!"
....
Ranma gets impatient..
Ranma looked at the truck that had been toppled over onto its side.
"Will you stand back for a moment?" Ranma said, walking up to the
truck.
Linna was the first to ask, "What are you going to do?"
Ranma didn't reply back. The girls and Mackie watched as Ranma squatted
low to the ground, his back straight, and slipped his fingers under the
truck. He then gave out a yelp as he used all his strength to lift the
truck up, his muscles straining intensely. After several moments, Ranma
managed to lift the truck about a foot of the ground. He then squatted
lower to the ground and shoved his shoulder underneath, using that as a
lever, gritting his teeth against the effort to lifting.
As the truck was slowly lifted from its side, Ranma got impatient.
"Goddamnit!!! Move ya damn truck!!!" He got angry at his lack of strength
in righting the truck that he gave one final burst of strength, bringing
his legs up and pushing his arms out at the same time.
Unfortunately, Ranma seemed to have gotten a bit too angry for he put
too much strength behind his final push, the truck landing back on its
wheel only to topple over onto its other side.
"Shit!" Ranma swore. He wished he could control his anger more.
Sometimes, he didn't know his own strength.
....
Genom wants Ryoga's help to dispose of the superboomer, Ranma.
"But don't worry," Carper said, "I have a plan. We found someone, a
human, that is capable of generating powers akin to this superboomer
we're up against,"
"Human?" Madigan said in shock "This has got to be some mistake. How
can some human generate power like that? Where is it all coming from?"
"I can't explain It," Carper said, "We found him living in the
mountains around China a few weeks ago while we were up there looking
for another location to set up another boomer manufactory. We tried to
scan him, but we couldn't, so we assumed he was some new superboomer our
competitors created, so we sent one of our scouting boomers in for a
closer inspection. The person, somehow, was able to feel the boomer's
presence, but he showed no hostile intentions. He actually started
communicating with our boomer, and it turns out that the person was not
only human, but was fooled that our scout wasn't a boomer. From what I
gather, although he's Japanese, I believe he's been living in China for
most his life, and has no idea about boomers, how much technology had
advanced since China isn't as developed as Japan,"
"Where is he now?" she asked, "I want him to help us out,"
.....
Ryoga helps out Genom without knowing...
"Hey, Ryoga, is that you?" he said, waving toward his friend from
across the street, "Damn, it is you! How's everythin' going?"
Ranma didn't even bother to wait for the light to turn red. He just casually
lest into the air and over the entire length of the street, landing right next
to Ryoga.
"R-Ranma?" Ryoga looked at him curiously, "Is that really you?"
Ranma nodded, smiling, "Long time no see, Ryoga"
"YOU!!!" Ryoga said, aura glowing bright red "DIE!!! Shi Shi
Hakodan!!!"
A massive ki-blast shot from Ryoga's hands, just as Ranma skillfully
jumped out of its path. The blast struck the building behind him,
blowing a hole the size of the blast right through it, the walls melting
from the extreme heat.
"Hold on there, Ryo-" Ranma managed to say just as he lunged out of the
way as another ki-blast jetted right by him, striking yet another
building causing it to exploded. It had just missed hitting him in the
head. He was lucky he had been able to dodge it in time. As he rolled to
his feet, he couldn't help but notice how skillful Ryoga had gotten over
the years. Ryoga was now a definite force to be reckoned with.
"How dare you let her get killed!!!" Ryoga said "How dare you let
Akane get killed like that!!!"
Ryoga attacked with several punches, all of them narrowly missing, all
except for the last attack. He managed to land his last attack, an open
palm strike, on Ranma's chest. Ranma was propelled backwards into one of
the walls of the buildings, the wall collapsing in on itself from the
impact.
"Bakusai Tenketsu!!!" Ryoga shouted as his finger jabbed into the wall
of the building Ranma was standing next to. The entire building exploded
as all the debris fell down on Ranma. Ranma couldn't react in time as he
was buried alive under the debris.
Ryoga stood there for several moments, wondering if it was all over,
that he had finally avenged Akane's death. He had swore to kill Ranma
because Ranma hadn't been able to protect her from death when those
machines lay waste to the entire town of Nerima. He had gone out on a
training trip to develop his skills so he would someday come back and make
Ranma suffer miserably.
But as he stood there, not moving, he was hoping his revenge would had
lasted longer.
At that moment, the rubble exploded upward as a huge hurricane sent in
hurling to the heavens. All the rubble was gone as Ranma stood where the
building had fallen on him, a massive blue aura forming around him.
"You're gonna pay for that!!!!"
....
Ranma's open palm strike...
Ranma now lay in a bed in the middle of the tiny room. Madigan had had that
room built especially for him from a short while ago. She had assumed that
sooner or later, she would be able to capture that superboomer. The room was
heavily reinforced with solid steel, the door to the room further reinforced.
There was no way he would be able to get out. He didn't have enough room to use
his projectiles, and if he did, he would be so close to the blast that he would
surely get hurt.
There was a camera about twenty feet high on the ceiling, allowing Madigan a
perfect view of Ranma.
Ranma's eyes opened slowly. He sat upright and winced in pain as bolts
of pain surged through his body. But he was glad it didn't hurt as much
as when Ryoga had hit him with that ki-blast. He surveyed his
surroundings and realized that he must be somewhere in Genom Tower,
which gave him a smile. He rubbed his chest where that projectile had
struck him.
I hope that damn missile didn't leave a mark, Ranma thought.
He rubbed his shoulder and neck to get the kinks out before he hopped off the
bed. He walked out to the door and regarded it. He gave a quick chuckle as he
realized he was being watched. He noticed the tiny camera mounted to the
ceiling.
"I know you're watching me," Ranma said.
"So you're finally awake," Madigan's voice echoed into the room. It was coming
from an unknown source. It sounded like it was coming from everywhere.
"Are you goin' to let me out?" Ranma said, leaning back against the
door, folding his arms across his chest. Although there was no chance, he
figured he'd at least give asking to be let out a try. It would make it a whole
lot easier than to bust out of there.
"We can't do that," Madigan said.
"Oh well," Ranma said. He turned back around and faced the door, "I asked,"
He struck the door with an open palm as the impact echoed through the room.
When he pulled his hand way, there was an indentation against the door the size
of his palm. The sound reverberated throughout the tiny room. He gave it several
more strikes before door started to shudder under the intense impact of his hand
hitting against it.
He continued to hit it over and over again, a bit impressed that the door
managed to withstand several of his blows.
"You're not going to break that down," Madigan's voice entered the
room.
Ranma smirked, "Ya wanna make a bet?"
He cocked his arm back, palm open, and brought it forward, striking the door.
The door exploded outward, knocked of his hinges. He looked down at the hinges
the door had hung on, these huge three inches solid steel pipes. He smirked as
he casually stepped out of his confinement and into the corridors stretching in
front of him.
Madigan and Carper were staring at the screen in disbelief. They had
just witness a human breaking through a solid steel door that was built
to withstand enormous impact. It had been tested to withstand projectiles
as strong as hellfires from attack choppers.
"What the fuck?!!!" Madigan swore, "This is absolutely impossible!!!"
...
Ranma's immortality...
Ryoga said menacingly "Shut up, Ranma!"
Ranma punched Ryoga hard, sending him flying across the room once again,
slamming into the wall. Ranma then started laughing, "This is great, I haven't
had this much fun in such a long time!"
"This isn't supposed to be fun you idiot! I'm gonna kill you!" Ryoga said in a
cold angry voice.
Ranma's laughter stopped as he took on a solemn countenance and said, "Get
real Ryoga, you know I can't die!"
The girls' attention immediately turned toward Ranma. What did he say?
.....
Ranma meets someone from his past....
Lisa took a deep breath and then said, "It's just some questions I've
been meaning to ask. That's all,"
"Sure, go right ahead and ask," his voice was soft.
"Where do you live?"
"I used to live in Nerima District, before those boomers destroyed my
life. After that, I went to China and trained in the mountains. I came
back to Japan only recently," came the reply.
"Did you have a family there?"
Ranma replied, his voice almost stoic, "I was betrothed to Akane. I lived with
Akane's house with her father and two sister and my pop. They all died during
that massacre,"
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," Lisa apologized, "Maybe I should stop
asking questions,"
"No. Don't worry about it. Go right ahead and ask. It's not like I'm
got anywhere to go after this,"
"Did you and your father get along?"
Ranma thought about that for a moment, turning toward Ryoga, "Did my pop and I
get along?" When Ryoga shrugged his shoulders, Ranma turned toward Lisa, "I
don't really know. I mean, there were more times than not that I wanted to kill
him. Because of him, I ended up getting betroth to several fiancees,"
Lisa smiled, knowing that all her questioning had finally gave her the
Answer, "That must mean you're Ranma Saotome, ne?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
"When we first met, you said your name was Ranma, and that was it.
Even though I only had your name, I recognized your face. I've seen you
before, and it turns out, that I've met you before," Lisa said,
wondering how Ranma was going to react. When he was about to ask how,
she continued on, "I lived in the same town as you but I moved shortly
before the massacre. I once helped you out. If I remember correctly, two
sisters had come to claim the....what were you heir to...oh yeah, the
School of Anything Goes Martial Arts. Anyway, I remember, when I was
very young, helping you out with your practicing. You were training
yourself to be faster. Well, I was one of the little kids who threw
bricks at you, while you were in your cursed form, yes, I know that
you're cursed, and I was the one who managed to hit you in the face with
the brick,"
