_EMPHASIS_
Chapter 1
------------------
A young red-headed gaijin, wearing a blue and black checkered headband,
stepped out of the airport with a sigh, and took a short look around,
choking slightly on the polution clogged air.
"Even if it is polluted, it sure is good to be back in Japan again... I
wonder if anyone is at the house."
Grabbing his baggage, he hopped into a taxi, and instructed the driver
to the Hibiki home.
--
A few days later, as Kasumi was bringing in the mail, she noticed a
letter for Ranma.
"Ranma-kun!" she called. "You have a letter!"
This soon brought Ranma racing down the stairs. He was wearing one of
his blue chinese shirts, and seemed to be depressed. He did, however,
seem to be brightened by the prospect of a challenge. "A letter? Who's
it from?" Taking the letter from Kasumi, he opened it, and began to
read. "This is from a.. Kevin Hibiki.. A challenge to restore his
family's honor? Great, I haven't had a good fight in some time!"
The words challenge and fight brought Genma to the room instantly, as
Nabiki peeked around the corner of the doorway. For once, Genma had been
playing Go as a human, and so was able to evoke a speech. "Ranma my boy,
you must meet this Kevin Hibiki in combat and defeat him for the honor
of the Musabeta Kaketou Ryuu!"
Nabiki snatched the letter from a newly depressed Ranma, and read. "It
says here that he's from the Hibiki school of Everything Works Martial
Arts. Is that some cheap hack of Anything Goes? I didn't even know the
Hibiki family had a school." Everyone blinked at her, as she realized
her mistake. Admitting she didn't know something.
"That is, I didn't know they were still practicing it," Nabiki
deadpanned, as everyone in the room facefaulted.
-- The Day of the Challenge --
"Ranma, please promise me you'll be careful, okay?"
"Jeese Akane, will you lay off me for a second?"
"I WAS JUST WORRIED ABOUT YOU, YOU _JERK_!!!" *slam*
"Oww.. thanksforthehelp Akane."
"Oh, Ranma, I'm so sorry!"
Genma sighed quietly as he and Nodoka entered the lot behind the two
arguing teenagers. He wished the two would hurry up and get married
already. The sight of the sword on Nodoka's back was beginning to make
him nervous, and he wished he had gotten splashed 'accidentally' on the
way here.
Ranma sighed as he entered the lot. He wanted to get this challenge over
with. He blinked once, and suddenly, there was a red-headed gaijin
standing in the lot opposite him, wearing a blue and black checkered
headband, like the one Ryouga wore.
"Saotome Ranma! On behalf of the Hibiki family, I challenge you to
regain my brother's honor!"
Ranma blinked again. Brother? He was related to Ryouga some how? Not
likely, but still. "I never done nothin' to Ryouga!" Ranma yelled to his
opponent.
"Shutup and fight Saotome!"
And with those words, the fight was on. Ranma hung back and decided to
let the gaijin attack him first. If his style was anything like
Ryouga's, the battle would go best for him if he just waited for
openings. The self-proclaimed Hibiki closed the gap between them in a
few steps and tossed a couple quick punches at Ranma, leaving his side
wide open. However, when Ranma moved in to attack, he was rewarded with
a cry of "TADASHI KEN!" and a super ki-charged punch to the gut which
sent him flying into a nearby fence.
Ranma stood quickly, and shook off the punch. "He's alot quicker then
Ryouga, but that punch was only just as strong as one of Ryouga's normal
punches, even though it was a special technique," Ranma thought. "Time
to bring out a special technique of my own."
"You call that a special technique?" Ranma yelled. "Try this on for
size!" And, running towards the Hibiki, he yelled, "KACCHU TENSHIN
AMAGURIKEN!" The chestnut fist was effective, and he got in twenty or
thirty good punches, sending the gaijin flying in return. "Take that!"
He turned to smile to Akane, but was suprised when he heard her yell,
"Ranma, look OUT!"
"TADASHI HOUKOUDAN!" the blue-headbanded teenager called as he sent a
column of blazing ki towards Ranma.
Ranma, taken aback, spinned and quickly shot off a Moukou Takabisha,
countering his foe's attack. "Kisama... You're pretty good!"
"You haven't seen anything yet, Ranma!!"
"This guy is pretty angry," Ranma realized. "The Hiryuu Shouten Ha
oughta take care of him pretty quickly." Darting in and starting the
gaijin attacking, Ranma started the familiar spiral dance.
"Uhoh," Kevin noticed.. "The Hiryuu Shouten Ha.. Time to show Ranma who
he's dealing with." He then began to close the spiral quickly, in
earnest, flooding the area with as much hot ki as he possibly could.
The bystanders all watched as they noticed the battle rage. Things
weren't looking up for Ranma. But then again, they weren't looking down,
either. Until the gaijin shouted, "HIRYUU SHOUTEN HA REVISED!! DRAGON'S
DRILL!!"
As Kevin completed his revised technique, a large mass of cool air came
slamming down onto Ranma, driving him into the ground, replacing the hot
ki that had since risen from his opponent. Ranma, was, to say the least,
down for the count. A loud cheer of triumph could be heard from behind
the fence, as Ryouga could be seen leaping off in a direction quite
opposite that of the battlefield. "Allright KEVIN!! You did it!!!
YES!!!"
"Ryouga-kun?" Akane wondered. "What did he have to do with this?"
