rr568@bard.edu (Roy Rim) Thanks to all my readers of the Split Personalities and their patience. K-chan, despite paying a massive fee to compuserve is willing to go online, Wolf, for being with me from the begining, Irene whom I finally got in touch with, Leon Chen, wherever he is, Francis all the way in UK, Nessie, all the James, there are a lot of you, the Ranma ML and everyone else I can't remember. small blahs: At last I'm writing something new. After having seen the new 1993 Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, Cat Girl Nuku-Nuku 1-6, and the Ranma 1/2 "An Akane to Remember" OAV, and then finding out that Nuku-Nuku takes place in Nerima along with Ranma and that Megumi Hayashibara plays the voice roles for both Ranma-chan and Nuku-Nuku, AND then drinking a bottle of tequila and a couple of cigs later, my mind in its eternal chaos came up with the worst fan-fic crossover idea ever. So, giving it some careful thought, I now show it to the rest of the Net world. Prelude Several decades ago, nuclear bombs were invented and humanity rejoiced. To test these awesome weapons, scientists used the vast oceans of the world. It would not be until recently that such groups as Greenpeace and other environmental extremists came about to stop them. One particular test site had extremely bad effects. It was just south of Japan where they set off the nuclear bomb named "Happy." Who knew that deep beneath the surface, lay a frozen creature, lost in the wrong age and that it would be mutated into a giant creature that would cause havoc amongst the populace of Japan for years to come. The giant opened his eyes and stared across his vast domain. He had been awakened early. But still he had been sleeping for a long time and he hungered for food. Stretching out his arms, he opened his mouth, fish rushing in along with the ocean water, but it was not enough. Once again he sat still, his dark scaled skin blending in among his bed of rocks, awaiting his prey. Recently, his sleeping periods have been getting longer and longer, he hardly ever wanted to move any more. At last his prey arrived. He watched it, such creatures rarely come this far down, for its need of oxygen kept it near the surface. It was searching, perhaps for its own prey. He was about to snatch out, his lips pulled back showing his discolored layered teeth, when he saw his prey thrash about in surprise, tentacles wrapped around it. It was a sight much talked about but never seen. A battle between a whale and a giant squid, incredible to behold. Godzilla would have smiled if he could, he was going to get two meals out of one, as he let out a tremendous roar and ripped the two entangled opponents apart. "General!!" "Yes?" "An emergency report from our battleships!!" "Hand it here...MASAKA!! Captain, we have no time to lose. Put us on yellow alert. Prey it doesn't turn to red." The general turned around to stare at the large screens, some of them showing areas of Tokyo and other parts of Japan, others showing scenes from space satellites. He stared at his slight reflection, his medals gleaming. "Twenty years..." he whispered, "twenty years..." \TO DIE/ Part One The Mercedes, something rarely seen in Nerima, stopped in front of the gates. Two men in black suits quickly strode out and stood at attention in front of the gate. One opened the back door, helping an elderly man of sixty years out. "So, this is the place?" The old man's voice spoke of strength and intelligence despite his years. "Yes, sir!!" "Good. Let's go in, shall we." Ranma ducked just in time as Akane's kick swung over his head, then ducked the punch that immediately followed. "Why don't you ever retaliate!!" Akane swung another angry punch. "It'd be too easy," Ranma answered, easily avoiding another one. "How am I ever supposed to get better!" Akane tried a couple of kicks, her eyes squinted down in anger and shame. "Do you want me too?" Ranma easily avoided all, not even having to block. "YES!!" "OK." All of the sudden Akane found herself defending desperately, hardly bring her arms up in time, as she took step after step back. "He's not even trying," she had time to think as she tripped over her own feet backwards. "Whoah!" Ranma exclaimed lunging forward and caught her in his arms. He held her for a second. One glorious, sensuously tender, and passionate second. Then Akane drove her fist into Ranma's ribs. They entered the Tendo home to find Soun Tendo weeping as he ran about in panic. "What to dooooo? What to dooooo?" Soun ran about some more. "Pop!! What is it!" Ranma turned to the panda. "Check out the television..." Nabiki's voice was missing its sarcastic bite, hidden by a layer of wonder. "He's BACK!! He's BACK!!" Soun had grabbed Ranma by the shirt and was nearly strangling him. "AH!!" Ranma struggled to get out of Soun's way. "Let go!!" "Father!! Quiet!!" Nabiki held her father's hand. All went silent, shocked by Nabiki's action. Akane stared at the t.v. screen. "Godzilla..." she whispered. "Yeah," said Nabiki, "so there's no time to waste. We got to pack everything. Ranma, please pack the television, the fridge, and the stove. I have stuff to pack." Nabiki quickly strode upstairs. Soun quickly entered another fit. "Oh, come on!! Godzilla!! What a load of bull!!" KONK!! "OW!!" Ranma held his head. "SHUT UP, RANMA!!" Genma had turned back to a man. "You have no idea what had happened twenty years ago!!" "AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!" The two men in suits flew out the window. "I told you not to point the guns," Kyusaku took a drag from his cigarette. "Nuku-Nuku warn you that she protect Papa-san!!" "W-w-w-wait-t!! I'm from the government!!" The old man crawled back in fear. "AAHHhhhh!!" Kyusaku was in fine form tonight. "The government..." Kyusaku looked like he was in thought, "COMING TO LOOK FOR MY annnnddrroooiidd?" Kyusaku's voice turned sickenly sweet at the end as he rubbed the chin of the old man. Then jumped up and turned around walking toward his room. "Nuku-Nuku!! Now please show this man how angry you are. Think about it as a lesson in cruelty, a trait that all humans have." "Okay Papa-san!" Nuku-Nuku smiled a toothy grin as she pounded her foot down into the old man's hand. He screamed in horrid pain then was forcefully shut upped by Nuku's fist slamming his lower jaw into his upper one. Nuku-Nuku began to kick into his ribs, his back on the floor along the wall, driving him up it. Kyusaku peeked around the corner. "OY!! Nuku-Nuku!!" "Yes, Papa-san?" "I was kidding. I just wanted to scare him. Just show him to the door." "Yes, Papa-san!" "WAIT!! The future of Japan lies in your hands Kyusaku!!" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, you all want my android! For more war toys!" "Please!! I beseech you!!" Nuku-Nuku picked him up by the head, his feet several inches off the ground. "The TV, THE TV!! TURN IT ON, YOU'LL SEE!!" "Nuku-Nuku!! STOP!!" "Yes, Papa-san!!" Nuku-Nuku dropped the old man, who began to cough, horrid, hairy coughs, smelling of ancient bones and death. Kyusaku turned on the t.v. He flipped through the channels as he slowly pushed his hair out of his eyes in amazement. Every channel was on news alert!! "Masaka..." he whispered. "Ryusuke!! Nuku- Nuku!!" The Tendo house was strangely quiet except for a grunt or two as something heavy was lifted. "But, Mr. Saotome!! We don't even know if that monster will go through Nerima!" Akane shifted her arms to hold the large vase that her dead mother prized so much. "Akane, it doesn't matter. That creature moves much more faster than you'd think. No one knows where it wants to go and even if it heads toward Tokyo or Osaka, we need to be ready to move at the slightest warning. When panic erupts its going to be slow moving to escape. We need to be ready!" Ranma quickly put some padding in a box and settled the tv gently in it. He had never heard his father sound so reassuring and reasonable. But then again, this still might be a hoax. He quickly taped up the box and ran upstairs to listen to the radio. He passed by Mr. Tendo's room and quickly peeked in. Soun was quickly packing pictures of his dead wife and muttering nearly insanely to himself or to his long dead wife. "Dear, dear, dear, he's back. He's BACK!! What should we do!! What should we do!! He's almost here. Almost here!!" Ranma has seen Mr. Tendo's fits before but this was unlike anything before. Even from the doorway Ranma could see his fingers convulsing and the veins along his forehead showing clearly against the pale white skin. Ranma wanted to enter, to somehow calm this kind man who had given, not only him, but others of need, food and shelter. He was about to slide the door fully open when he felt his father's familiar hand on his shoulder. He turned his head and said, "Oyaji?" Ranma's father was weeping too. "Ranma, please leave. The situation we're in has awakened old memories within Soun. Go, hurry. We must be ready to leave, for Soun's sake and his daughters." At that, Genma shoved his son down the hallway and entered the room, sliding the door behind him, to help his friend of over thirty years. "It will be another twenty hours before that monster arrives. We estimate that he's heading towards Osaka. Already we have the new Mechagodzilla outfitted with the latest in technology. But we need more, Kyusaku!! We need your android!!" Kyusaku lighted another cigarette as he calmy packed some things. "Ryu!!" "Yes, father?" "Call your mother." "What!?" "You're staying with her until this is over." "But, father, I want..." "No buts, Ryu!! Sir, have your driver take my son over to Mishima." "But father, what about you?" "I'm going with them, Ryu-san. Nuku-Nuku too." "NO!! I want to go with you!!" A large hand grabbed Ryu's. he could feel himself being dragged out. "Father!!" But Kyusaku had turned himself away from his son's pleas. A vile government base was no place for a little boy. Especially his own son. He turned back to the official who was busy poking several places on Nuku-Nuku's body. "Neh!! Stop it!! Tickles!" Nuku-Nuku squirmed as the old man peeked underneath her dress. "Fascinating!" The old man looked all over her. Kyusaku grabbed the old man by his collar and began to shake him. "We have a nation wide emergency on our hands and YOU'RE LOOKING UP MY DAUGHTER'S PANTS!!" The old man's eyes opened wide in surprise as he said, "Sorry, sorry! Just wondering how you managed to make such a perfect android!" "Now, get one of those goons to get some private jet or helicopter and get me towards your base, NOW!!!" Kyusaku blew out all of the smoke in his lungs over the old man's face as he shook him even harder. "I just might have time to add something nice to your `MechaGodzilla.'" He had already encountered some of the `small hard things' that always bothered him everytime he came out from the depths of the seas. Godzilla was a creature of instinct, not thought. When hungry, he eats. When tired, he sleeps. When angry, he destroys. But once in a while, something within him told him to do something. To go somewhere. If Godzilla had a larger memory, he might have remembered the last time he came to Japan in search of one of his brethren, recently born. But now, now, something else pulled him toward that area that had given him so much pain before. Something pulled him to go towards, then past it. Ranma and Akane stood in the dining room putting various things away. "I always thought he was just a myth, a movie thing." "So did I." The two sat in silence for a couple of moments. Then Ranma slowly turned toward Akane. "Akane?" Akane faced him, "Yes?" "How did your mother die?" Akane's eyes widened then lowered. "Why do you ask?" "Because I realize I don't know much about your family." Akane was silent as old memories surged through her head. Good ones of loving arms and warm beds and fun bedtime stories. Bad ones of a silent father and a cold, cold body, hardly stirring, and small painful coughs. "It's been twelve years," started Akane, "since mother died. I was three." Ranma stopped packing as he listened closely, his eyes set sternly toward his fiancee who was looking down. "It was a sad time, although Nabiki perhaps faced the worst of it. Kasumi was too busy taking care of me and making sure I was happy and house chores and cooking. Father...father didn't talk for almost a year. I remember Kasumi and Nabiki being worried that perhaps father might follow mother. But as you can see, he's gotten better. Mother had some disease that she had gotten before I was born. Her and father had thought it was cured. Then I was born and two years later it returned. Mother began to cough horribly, her every breathe painful." Akane had to stop, forcing herself to breath calmly. She went on. "Mother held on for a year. She wanted to see all of us grow up, not just Kasumi, but according to Kasumi, she was a frail woman, yet strong minded. Father would sometimes mention a story about how once a boy was constantly bothering Kasumi during grade school and she had slapped him. The mother had come complaining over, but mother rolled right over her." Akane smiled, pausing for a second, remembering the last time father had told that story and Kasumi had reminded father that he must of told Akane a hundred times. "She was strong and graceful, father would always say about mother, that's why I loved her, he would say." Ranma stared at his fiancee, surprised at the amount of passion that poured from Akane's soul. He searched his own memory and found nearly nothing about his own mother, except for recent times. Oyaji never mentions mother either, thought Ranma. He suddenly found himself incredibly jealous of Akane and at the same time sorry. He wanted to reach out his hand and hold hers, but something kept him in check. Akane went on, "I remember the day clearly," Akane had to take another large shaking breathe, "The day before, mother had seemed to take a turn for the better. Mother was holding me in her hands, talking gayly, when...when...," Akane stopped, gripping her fists, trying to contain the tears. The memory was too much. The blood coming out in short violent coughs, staining her little pink dress. Father's cry of near panic. Ranma reached out his hand and covered hers. He knew it was right. He did no more and could do no more. He watched her deal with her past and did nothing more. But at the same time he was angered. Angered at himself that he could do no more than just hold her hand. That he could do absolutely nothing to dam the flow of harsh memory that made his fiancee, yes fiancee!, cry so. So, they sat, toward each other, one crying, the other's face locked in solemn watch, as the rest of the household hurriedly prepared for the worst. "Nice to meet you, sir." Kyusaku took the hand of the General. "Same here, same here. Let's be frank. We need your genius, sir." "I know. Just point me out toward your labs and I can get started." "We can't do that." "What!!" "There are procedures to make sure that information is locked tight." "How long will that take." "At least a week." "We don't have a week!!" "Yes. But we do have your android." "No, you don't." "Yes, we do." "No, you don't." Kyusaku lit another cigarette. He hated Generals. "Men, I think we need to persuade our guest." "Nuku-Nuku, don't be too cruel." "NOBODY HURTS PAPA-SAN!!" CRASH!! BOOOM!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!! "OK, we don't have your android." "I'm quite sure whoever your superior is will be quite upset if he found out that you weren't doing everything in your power to stop the monster, and also upset that you were solely responsibly for losing Mishima's governmental support at the same time." "What are you talking about?" "Aren't you aware that my esteemed wife is the President of Mishima Corp.? At my word, she could pull the trillions of dollars that help support the Japanese Government military." "What!! Why didn't anyone tell me!!?" The general barked around him at his wounded soldiers. "We thought you knew," said one weakly before passing out. Kyusaku lightly elbowed Nuku-Nuku as he put his mouth to her ear. "Smooth, no?" "Uh!!" Nuku-Nuku nodded, wiping the blood off her knuckles. "Well, c'mon, sir. We'll show you to our labs." "Hurry!! Now!!" "Maam!!" "What is it!" Akiko kept her eyes locked on the several reports that were coming in. She was confident that with Mishima supporting the military, that the creature could be conquered, but she had needed to make sure that Mishima was left in competent hands and that was her. They had less then fifteen hours to prepare. "Your son." Kyouko led the boy in. "Mother." "Ryusuuke!!" Akiko ran to her boy's side. "How did you get here?" Ryusuuke looked bitterly away. "Father sent me here. He said it was too dangerous." Akiko stroked her son's face. She could not think of anything better to happen. At last, Mishima would be tested to its fullest and she would have her son here to watch his mother at her finest. She would not fail. "Ryusuuke. Stand next to me. You shall see how your mother handles the problems of a nation!" more blahs: OK, so it wasn't so bad, was it? Anyway, send comments and flames to RR568@bard.edu. Thanx goes to K-chan, WW, 'da boys at UK, Nessie, Missing, and Leon and everyone else I always forget. Oh, and the BOY (^_^). A Godzilla/Ranma1/2/Nuku-Nuku crossover /To Die\ Part Two of Three "Sir, he's finally on shore!!" "OK men. Time to see what we can do. Prep Mechagodzilla!!" "Just in time," said Kyusaku lighting yet another cigarette. "Holding arms all down." "Sir," the pilots radioed in, "say when." "God help us," said the General, "when." Musashi gritted his teeth. His commanders had chosen him of all men to lead this group of four out into battle. Mechagodzilla was under his control. No. He was Mechagodzilla. "Alright. Let's see what we can do with what we got before using Kyusaku's toy." "Father!! Father?" Kasumi called again. "Mr. Saotome, I can't seem to find father." "I saw him run out before," said Nabiki. The radio began to blare, "Godzilla heading toward Tokyo!! The military has sent out Mechagodzilla!! Let's pray its enough!!" Genma looked around the room and recognized that several things were missing. Mainly Soun's ancient Samurai armor and his photo of his wife. "Masaka!! He didn't!!" He ran down the stairs. "RANMA!! Get your stuff!! Soun's headed toward Tokyo!! We have to stop him!!" "Nani!!" Both Ranma and Akane were shocked. Ranma jumped up and ran after his father. "Wait," Akane ran after, "I want to go to!!" "Akane," Genma yelled at her as he ran, "help your sisters pack!! Leave your father to us!!" Akane slowed down, "But...Hai." "Don't worry, Akane, we'll be back with your father!!" Ranma slipped his shoes on and hurried after his father. "Nuku-Nuku..." "Yes, Papa-san?" "Come over here." Kyusaku led Nuku-Nuku to the door. A soldier stopped them but moved out of the way as Nuku-Nuku let out a tooth of a smile. They moved out into the hall. "Nuku-Nuku, listen carefully..." "Hai, Papa-san." "That monster is the biggest threat to Japan. I don't like helping the government, but in this matter I must!! Nuku-Nuku, you're very important to me!! But if all else fails, you and I...you and I must battle the monster too." Nuku-Nuku nodded nearly wanting to cry as she saw her father shiver in despair. Kyusaku had tried his best but in this situation he could hardly handle the despair that threatened to send him into panic. He kept wanting to pack up, grab Akiko and Ryunosuke and go far, far away. "Remember, Nuku-Nuku. Only, and only, if all else fails." Kyusaku grabbed onto his android as he would a daughter. "What!! Is that all our pilots can do!!? Fly into stupid fire and die!!" Akiko let go of Ryunosuke as she grabbed Kyouko by the shirt. "Maam!! Please!! Calm down!!" "No, I will not!! Send out the Poison four squadron and the Spike-Tanks!! That ugly thing won't get the better of Mishima Corps.!!" Akiko slammed her desk. "Yes, Maam!!" Kyouko yelled the instructions out through the radios. "Maam!!" "What is it!?" "They've sent out Mechagodzilla!!" "What!! That pile of junk!! Send out," Akiko gripped her fists and yelled out grandly, "HEAVY METAL!!" Kyouko shivered then turned to the radio. She yelled out the secret code for Heavy Metal, "It's time to ROCK!!" Heavy Metal was Akiko's husband's last finished project before he left. Originally it was to be a giant robot whose task was to fix broken satellites. Mishima added some weapons and transformed it into a war machine. It was considered to be the most frightening thing Mishima made. Hiroshi took a break to grab some food. His father hadn't let him eat anything until now. He stood in front of his home staring at how packed his family's car was. "Maybe we should get one of those American cars next time. I'll suggest it to father when I can." He opened up the sweet bun package and was about to take a bite when something blurred right by him and sent up the wind and dust around his legs. "What was that!?" Hiroshi looked down the road then deciding it wasn't worth thinking about he went to take a bite and instead, he screamed. "AAAAHHHHH!!! Where's my bun!!" "I don't understand!!" Ranma ran up to his father. "What's going on!!" "It was twenty years ago during that harsh winter," Genma got out through the bun as he ran, "Tendo had just finished building his home and dojo. It had been only a year since he had married. Then it came. That monster had come through here, all of Nerima was destroyed, including Tendo's new home!! Many were homeless!! So many people died that day, Ranma!! So many!! He tried his best, Tendo did, despite being penniless, homeless!! He begged for food and clothing, gave it all to his poor wife! But it wasn't enough!!" Genma stopped to gain some breathe and the two ran on for a bit, breathing heavily. Genma went on, "How he degraded himself, in front of so many people!! And it didn't help!! She got ill!! It was a harsh and long winter, there wasn't enough shelter. She began to cough up blood. Me and Tendo used our own bodies to try and warm her, but still she got worse. See, she had picked up some illness. Something horrible!! You would not understand, Ranma!! She was such a strong woman yet she was so easily ruined by this disease!! Luckily, the Japanese government finally got back on its feet and provided everyone with enough warmth, shelter and food. The illness finally left her." "I still don't understand." They jumped over crowd of people shoving each other at the intersection. "BAKA!! I'm not done!! Soon Tendo rebuilt his home and dojo!! Kasumi, Nabiki, and Akane were born. Soon after Akane's third birthday, Mrs. Tendo got ill again. It had returned. That strange horrible cough that she had during that terrible time. It had returned with a vengeance!! In one week, Mrs. Tendo was confined to her bed!! Soun was in shock!! He hardly left her side!! Then one day, she felt better and had the children come in and play with her. She...she died that night, with Akane in her arms." Ranma took a quick look at his father. He was surprised to see tears in his father's eyes as they ran. He could hardly imagine his father holding so much emotion. "Soun never forgave himself nor the monster that he believed was the cause of his wife's death. Ranma, you have no idea what went through that poor man's heart!! He was never really the same!! If it wasn't for Kasumi he would have followed his wife twelve years ago!! What you see now is the product of twelve long years." Ranma nodded as he ran. "So Mr. Tendo is thinking of revenge?" "Yes and no. He might be suicidal as well. We must bring him back for his daughters!" "For Akane," thought Ranma. Musashi crashed Mechagodzilla into Godzilla at full speed. The robot knocked Godzilla into the ground as it bounced off and landed on its side. The two combatants got up and faced each other. Godzilla's back lit in blue deadly light as he opened his mouth and sent out a blast of his nuclear fire. It struck along the front side of MechaG and was absorbed by its special diamond coated armor. Godzilla's eyes thinned, unused to anything being unharmed by his ray. "Eye beams, NOW!!" Musashi waited for the confirmation then fired away. Godzilla clawed the air as the beams struck across his face, stinging him. He let another blast go which was absorbed again. "Let's show that monster what we have for him!!" His teammates have worked together with him for months. They understood what controls he wanted. MechaG's stomach opened up and revealed a plasma beam that would return Godzilla's nuclear flame back. "Ready...Aim...AAAAHHHHH!!!" Unfortunately Godzilla chose this time to tackle MechaG. MechaG fell to the ground, sending sand flying all over the beach. Godzilla grabbed the arm of MechaG and pulled it off with an ugly wrenching sound. Inside the mech, wires began to pop out of consoles as electricity whipped across the air. Godzilla yelled in anger and began to beat MechaG over the head with its own arm while Godzilla used his tail to smash it into MechaG's legs, rather effectively too. "AAAARRRGGHHH!!! Do something!!" Musashi began to panic. He hadn't expected Godzilla to do that. "Get that outdated model out of here," came a woman's voice through the intercom. "Its time to Rock and Roll!!!" Godzilla stopped thrashing his enemy and turned around. Another creature had come to torment him. Heavy Metal aimed both arms toward Godzilla and let loose with a barrage of missiles. "HOHOHOHO," cried Arisa as she pounded her controls. "Take that you monster!!" Godzilla screamed as the missiles exploded all over his body, pieces of flesh flying off. Heavy Metal kept shooting missiles, not letting off. Arisa had begged her boss to fly Heavy Metal. To prove her worth after messing up so many times with the cat-girl. There was no way she was going to give any quarter to some dumb monster. She had the pride of Mishima Corps. in her hands. She would not fail. Even though the smoke and dust had grown so thick she could hardly see, she kept firing into it. "DIEDIEDIEIDIEDIE!!!" Dust covered the air and Arisa finally stopped only after Heavy Metal ran out of weapons. Arisa breathed heavily then managed to calm down. She smiled. "See, government puppies, the awesome might of Mishim...eh?" The dust began to clear. Godzilla finally caught sight of his opponent. He let loose with a roar that ended with a blast. "Ohoh," said Arisa as Heavy Metal's head got blown off. "Help me." Arisa pressed the eject button that had a nice sign above it that said, "Not finished, Love Kyusaku." Godzilla blew a hole into Heavy Metal's torso. "So much for Mishima's pride," said Musashi, finally getting control of his mind. "Time to see if Kyusaku's is really a genius or not. Shoot Muzzle!!" MechaG shot out, towards Godzilla's turned head, a large canister. It exploded mid-air. Godzilla turned toward the loud noise then fell back as something smashed into his face. He TRIED to roar. Godzilla got up and clawed at his face. Something was sticking to him. A giant metal contraption, that looked; strangely enough; like a muzzle, kept his jaw from opening. MechaG got up with a metallic roar. "Yes!!" Kyusaku smacked his fist into his palm. "Now the leash!!" Everyone within the command room stared at the screen as MechaG shot out a wire that hooked onto the muzzle. "Incredible!!" A soldier shouted, "Now he can't use his nuclear fire!!" The soldier turned toward the reader, "That was for your information in case you couldn't figure it out." The reader realizes that the soldier looks suspiciously a lot like the baka author. "Now, he can safely lead Godzilla out into the ocean!" Kyusaku pointed toward the screen. The general's jaw dropped as he watched MechaG shock Godzilla everytime Godzilla tried to attack. Shocking the right parts of the muzzle forced Godzilla to turn the way the MechaG pilots wanted him to. "Nuku-Nuku!! Our jobs done, time for us...WAIT!! What's he doing!!" "OK, now you evil thing!! Take this!!" Musashi slammed the button down. Two spikes attached to heavy wires shot out of MechaG's arm and embedded into Godzilla's scales, chopping off flesh. "Now, fry that MONSTER!!!" Musashi held down both buttons on his controls. "NO!! If he does that he'll..." Godzilla roared in pain and then realized the thing holding his jaw shut had just broken off. He turned toward MechaG, his eyes glowing blue. He could feel exactly where the wires were on his body as his back began to crackle with energy. "Oh, Oh," said Musashi. "AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Blue explosions arced up the wires attached to MechaG's arm and exploded it into a million tiny fragments. "That IDIOT!!" Kyusaku grabbed the General by his collar. "WHO THE HELL IS DRIVING THAT THING!! THAT BAKA RUINED EVERYTHING!! NUKU-NUKU, WE'RE GOING!!" "But wait!!" The general waved his men to block Kyusaku. Nuku-Nuku knocked the soldiers out of their way. "Don't worry, General. Nuku-Nuku and I will handle this." The general watched the Kyusaku Natsume leave and grabbed his head, not bothering to watch as Godzilla dismantled MechaGodzilla piece by piece. Soun stood at the edge of the cliff. He took a deep breathe, not noticing the salty tang of the air, and yelled out across the beach where he could clearly see the monster. "Face me!! I, Tendo Soun, challenge you!!" Obviously Soun had lost it. The monster began to walk away from Soun but still going into the land. Soun began to run after it but was tackled down. "Who dares!!" "Tendo!! It's me!!" Genma and his son held Soun on the rough ground. "Let go!! It's getting away!! My revenge!!" "Ranma, look away!!" "What?" "LOOK AWAY!!" At the sharp tone of his father's voice, Ranma did so. Genma smacked his friend. "SOUN!! THIS IS GENMA!! YOUR FRIEND OF FORTY YEARS!!" "Why does he want me to look away if I know what's going on anyway," thought Ranma. Soun's eyes opened in surprise as his friend smacked him then weakly struggled a bit more. "Genma. Friend!! Help me up!! Together we can beat that monster!!" Soun's eyes had a crazy glare to them. "Soun!!" Genma shook his old friend. "We can't!! WE CAN'T FIGHT SOMETHING THAT BIG!!" Soun struggled some more then realizing he wasn't strong enough to throw Genma and Ranma off, he stopped, tears blurring his vision. If he couldn't even fight a fat out of shape martial artist and a boy how could he hope to defeat something so powerful. "But Genma...my wife!! What about my wife!?" Genma barely held in the cry and said, "Dead, my dear friend. Dead and at peace." Genma pulled his friend into his chest to muffle the harsh cries. Ranma stood back a bit and looked away again. "Bakas," whispered Ranma holding back a tear, "making us come out this far." Kyusaku hurriedly put the parts together. He estimated two hours before Godzilla reaches Tokyo. Just enough time to put something together for Nuku-Nuku. Nuku-Nuku watched curiously. She never understood anything that Papa-san did with his screwdrivers and computers. "Sir!!" "What is it?" Several soldiers had started calling him that after their General had a nervous breakdown. "It's Godzilla. He's turned." "What? That's great!!" Kyusaku dropped the machine he was making. "Eh? What's wrong?" The soldier looked upset. "Sir, he's turned toward Nerima." Ranma felt his chest. He never ran so fast in his life!! They looked across the distance towards Godzilla. Looks like nothing was going to stop him from destroying Tokyo. He didn't look so dangerous when he was so far and so small. "Eh?" Ranma put the binoculars his father brought with them in front of his eyes. "Oyaji!!" "What is it Ranma?" Genma had an edge to his voice. Soun had collapsed unconscious. "He's not heading toward Tokyo!" "What!?" They looked toward the direction Godzilla was heading. "What direction is that?" Ranma could feel his heart go cold as both he and his father realized that Godzilla was heading toward the direction they had come in and he was already far ahead of them. Ranma forgot about his chest hurting. Nerima was in a panic. "Nabiki!! Forget the TV!!" "But Kasumi..." Nabiki pulled the box. "NABIKI!!" Kasumi grabbed her sister's arm and pulled hard. "OK, OK, I was coming," said Nabiki, meekly following. They all had packed huge backpacks, including Ranma's and Genma's tents. It might be needed. Food and clothing were brought too. At the gate, Kasumi seemed a calm fortress around the chaotic street as people rushed by her, screaming. Kasumi locked the gate. She held both her sister's hands and turned once more to say good-bye to their home. "Mother," Kasumi whispered and slightly bowed her head, "I have cared for father and our home in your absence, but right now I must take Nabiki and Akane away." She then quickly turned toward the crowded street and began to walk away. In one hour, Godzilla will hit the west end of Nerima. Kyusaku had the soldiers carry the equipment to the warcopter and soon they were flying. He hurriedly set to screwing the parts together once more. He explained to Nuku-Nuku what she had to do. A creature that size shouldn't notice something small as Nuku-Nuku, so he was building her a small but agile body ship that carried two small lazers and a big, big, big bomb. "This ship wraps around your body, Nuku-Nuku. It'll do anything you want it to do, just think about attacking and it will. This might be our only hope, Nuku-Nuku!! I need you to drop this," Kyusuke pointed toward the bomb, "into that monster's mouth!! Okay!?" "Hai, Papa-san!" Nuku-Nuku couldn't wait. This was going to be fun! Ranma ran ahead of his father who carried Soun. He didn't notice. All he could tell was that he couldn't catch up to the giant. No matter how much he told his legs to go faster. "Please!!!" he pleaded to them. "Faster!! Faster!!" Godzilla had already destroyed part of Nerima west side. The Tendo's was located near the center. Ranma had to catch up by then. He had to. Ranma never realized that or thought that the Tendo girls would have left long ago. "This is Blue to Red, Blue to Red. Whites down!! We need more ships out here!!" "Red here, gotcha buddy!! We're coming in." "Allright!! Poison squad!! We got our buddies coming. Let's show our president what we got!!" Poison Squad Four and Five flew in complicated circles shooting bullets and lasers, dropping bombs upon Godzilla. It didn't seem to be harming him, but it did stop his progress. Godzilla waved at the metallic hornets, but it was hard to catch the small things. He tried his fire, but there were so many. He looked around, searching for the source. There!! The nest! Godzilla ignored the stings and headed toward Mishima Corps. building. "What!! Send everything!! NOW!!" "Yes, Maam!!" Kyouko had sweated through her blouse, at any other day, she'd be very concerned but at the moment, all she could do was hold onto her sanity. If it wasn't for her boss, crudely yelling commands, Kyouko would have lost it long ago. "Send Mishima Prowlers, Stingers, White Wolves (^_^), Hangers, and K-Force (^_^)!! Prepare building defense armor and weapons!!" Kyouko could feel the rumbling as Mishima Corps. began to transform its outer layer to battle mode. "WWWAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" "MOTHER!!!" Ryunosuke tumbled over and hit his head. Mishima Corps. rocked and shook. Godzilla had released his terrible blast before Mishima had finished putting up its defenses. All of Mishima's war machines doubled its fire on Godzilla to no effect. It opened its mouth to fire again. "Looks like the end, Red!" "See you around, Blue!" All of the sudden a huge explosion bounced off of Godzilla's head. "Yeah!! Nothing like good old war bombs!! Let off more!!" Kyusaku had the soldiers load the warcopter with tons of bombs left over from the world wars. "Drop them all!!!" The Mishima Corps. ships hurriedly flew out of the way as the bombs dropped from high above and landed on and around Godzilla. Godzilla was covered in smoke and dust. "Nuku-Nuku!! GOOOOO!!!" Kyusaku pushed Nuku-Nuku out! "Hai, Papa-san!" Nuku-Nuku did a test loop, pushing against the machine latched around her body. She flew in. "WWWAAAAAHHHHH!!!" She avoided the giant blue blast that burst out of the flames and smoke. Something exploded behind her. She turned around to see the warcopter no more. "PAPA-SAN!!!" Ranma sped up. Something had stopped Godzilla. He thanked the gods as he watched smoke and fire from afar. He hoped it was enough. "Just give me enough time," he prayed, "just enough time to reach the Tendo's!" "Papa-san," Nuku-Nuku barely voiced. She turned toward the monster, anger already glazing her eyes. She growled then sprang, the ship around her taking her actions and changing them to flight. It charged towards Godzilla, "PAPA-SAAAAANNNN!!!" Nuku-Nuku came in wanting to scratch at the monster, instead the ship shot its lasers. Godzilla could feel something pricking at him he turned toward the annoyance. "Papa-san said I had to use the bomb. Papa-san's last wish!" Nuku-Nuku headed toward monster's mouth. "EEEERRRRRAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!" Nuku-Nuku flew straight down toward the opened jaws of the monster and pressed the release button for the bomb. Godzilla released his nuclear fire as the bomb dropped in front of him and exploded, knocking him onto his back destroying the Nerima Foxy shopping mall. Nuku-Nuku felt herself hit with searing white heat and then felt no more. End Chapter Two Blahs: Hm...a tad too serious at parts, but thats okay, I think:) Points of Info: Hiroshi is Ranma's brown haired friend. Arisa and Kyouko are Akiko's two friends who work for her. Mechagodzilla's diamond-coated armor absorbs Godzilla's nuclear blast. Well, anyway, don't worry guys. Things turn okay in the last chapter. You'll see. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! RR.
