Graviton Girls vs Nerima Guys: Chapter 5: Rumble in Nerima
A Fanfic by Eddie Vagg and David Myers
The story so far. A-ko, B-ko, C-ko and gang go to Nerima for a student exchange trip, and B-ko learns that she's been set up to marry Kuno by her father. A-ko has lost her powers due to a run-in with Happosai, but she's formed a friendship with Ranma, who offered to help her out. Ryoga gives an odd medallion to Akane as a souvenir from Graviton City. A strange substitute teacher, Gail shows up and generally acts like Darth Vader. A-ko and C-ko are invited to the Tendo Dojo for dinner the same night as Hikaru and B-ko are invited to dine at Kuno mansion. At a second dinner party, B-ko Mysteriously stays the night... Next morning, C-ko gets kidnapped by Gail
Ranma and Akane continued along the road towards the high school.
Ranma: I tell you there is nothing between us.
Akane: I saw how she looked at you over the table. Don't deny it.
Ranma: Jeez, I tell ya I didn't do nuthin'
Akane: How can you say that, why are you always leading women on like that.
Ranma: I am not, hey if she's got a crush don't blame me.
Akane: How dare you try and pin this on someone else. That's the same thing you said when Ukyo arrived and look at her now.
Ranma: Hey you're one to talk. What are you doing wearing that medallion all the time for..
Akane: This happens to be a gift from Ryoga! Don't change the subject, this is about you and A-ko!
Ranma: Fine! You want me to throw her off I'll do it. Here she is asking me for help. I'll just have to tell her that I can't help her...
Akane: (Shocked) Ranma....
Ranma: After all I can see why an uncute tomb boy type like you would get jealous of someone like her.
Akane(fuming): What did you say, I can't believe you just said that to me!
Ranma: Yeah well I.... What the hell is that?
Akane: Don't change the .... wow....
Akane and Ranma look up at a giant 70 foot robot that blocks the entrance to the school. The robot appears to be clothed in what looks like a Kendo outfit. B-ko stands smugly in the road waiting for them. A-ko comes trotting up the path behind them, looking very distraught after the kidnap of C-ko.
B-ko: Ahhh Ranma you have arrived. You will not be escaping me this day. You have defeated me for the last time.
Ranma: What the heck are you talking about?
A-ko: (Thinking) Oh no....
B-ko: Every day you have made me late for school, by denying me the privilege of defeating you in mortal combat. But not today. Today the Killer Unit Number One will see your defeat.
Ranma: The what?
B-ko: (laughs) You'll see... The Killer Unit Number One was designed to vaporise even the most persistent opponents aided by a top of the range "Skywalker" Death Sabre. With it's superior Daitokuji-brand mecha joints and actuators, Number One is the fastest, most agile combat mecha ever devised! And with its thinking cap technology in place even the stupidest of pilots can pilot it.
Voice Over Loud Speaker: Cease thy idle chatter Harriden and prepare thyself Saotome. For I Tatewaki Kuno have come to defeat you in honourable combat.
B-ko: Harriden? I am not old!
Akane: You call this honourable!
A-ko: He's going to be crushed!
Ranma(Bemused): Yo Kuno that you in that Sardine can?
Voice on Loud Speaker: Mock me not! For today you will fall at my feet and beg for Mercy. Behold the Power of the K.U.N.O! K.U.N.O Boken attack!
The Giant robot brings its hands together and slowly eases them away from each other revealing a giant laser sword which has somehow formed between his hands. The Robot raises the sword and smashes it in towards Ranma who deftly leaps out of the way.
Ranma: Well I'll say this for it. It's sure is ugly!
Kuno: Have at thee.
A-ko: Ranma I need your help again.
Akane: I think he's a little busy right now....
Again the Robot swings at Ranma who again leaps out of the way.
Akane/A-ko(Both Concerned): Ranmaaaa!!!
Ranma: Akane I need some water!
Akane (Smiling): One bucket of cold water coming right up.
Akane pulls a bucket of water out from......... where ever it is they get those things.
B-ko: Ha! you think you can use water to short out my Robot. I would never leave it open to such a simple design flaw.
Ranma: The waters not for your Robot...
Akane splashes Ranma, turning him into his girl type.
Ranma-Chan: Its for me...
A-ko and B-ko both leap back in shock at Ranma's transformation.
Ranma: Ohhhh Kunoooooo.
Ranma leaps up onto the K.U.N.O wrist. She looks up at the robots head and flutters her eyes and generally looks cute.
Kuno: The Pig tailed girl...
Ranma: Oh alas my love is trapped in side this horrible machine. I cannot stand to be (There is latch like sounds being made from inside the robots head) separated from him a moment longer. Alas our love cannot survive unless he...
Kuno: Curses I cannot open the door..
B-ko: WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING. DON'T TELL ME YOUR SO STUPID THAT YOUR GOING TO FALL FOR....
B-ko is cut short as the door explodes outwards and Kuno strides confidently from the cockpit.
Kuno: Ahh a mere portal will not separate us my love.
Ranma: Oh Kunoooo (leaps up to the elbow and then to the shoulder) Kuno(Starts running towards her): Pig Tailed girl....
Ranma predictable knocks Kuno into orbit before leaping back down to the wrist again.
B-ko: I can't believe it. I lost to you again.
Ranma: Ahh don't sweat it B-ko, losing’s not such a big deal....
B-ko: Its not...
Ranma: Nahh it just means I'm better than you are! (She smirks)
At this point B-ko loses it.
B-ko: YOU'RE WHAT.....
B-ko rips off her school uniform revealing the Akagiyama 23 Battle Suit. She launches in to attack Ranma.
B-ko: DIEE RANMAAA!!!
C-ko: AAAAAAAKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Gail: Well my dear princess with your help I'll at last be able to destroy Tokyo. Now hand over the... wait you don't have it. Grrrrr I got the wrong girl...
Gail turns to a giant crystal ball.
Gail: Computer show me the face of the person who possesses the medallion.
A picture of Akane's face appears in the globe.
Gail: What a beautiful woman you are... Soon you and that codex will be mine. But I need a distraction. Gamma droids attack the city.
Voice from the Computer: We hear you and will obey...
Ranma flies through the air clutching B-ko as she uses her battle suits jets.
B-ko: Hahahahahahaha you are no match for me! Give up.
Ranma: Not a chance.
Ranma twists in mid air and manages to flip B-ko over. With a strong kick she throws B-ko into the ground leaving a small crater. Ranma lands a few feet away and eyes B-ko cautiously.
B-ko: Hahahahahaha You think such a puny attack will affect me. My battle armours force shield protects me from all your pathetic attacks. Akagiyama missiles!!
Ranma begins desperately dodging out of the way of the numerous missiles that explode on contact with the ground. Ranma somewhat deafened lies defenceless on the ground.
B-ko: Ahahahahaha! Akagiyama missiles!!
Another volley of missiles speed towards Ranma who looks helplessly up at the approaching volley of death. Suddenly a figure leaps in between the two and blocks the missiles with his umbrella.
Ranma: Ryoga....
B-ko: You!
Ryoga stands up and looks evenly at B-ko.
Ryoga: I can't let you defeat Ranma like this.
B-ko: Why not?
Ryoga: Because if anyone is going to defeat Ranma in combat. (Turns menacingly to Ranma) Its going to be Meeeeee!
Ryoga throws his umbrella at Ranma who cries in fright and leaps out of the way. Much to everyone’s shock Ryoga and Ranma start fighting each other.
B-ko: Grrrrrr Akagiyama missiles!!
A-ko: Stop it stop it I say! Akane you have to help me stop this fight!
Akane: What do I care, he got himself into this mess.
A-ko: You don't understand! Mr Gail has kidnapped C-ko!
Akane: Mr Gail kidnapped C-ko? That doesn't make any sense A-ko, why would a tenth grade teacher want to kidnap someone as harmless as C-ko?
Suddenly through out the city Giant robot drones begin crashing out of the sewer networks and wreaking havoc with the surrounding populous. A-ko and Akane look in amazement at the sight until a giant robot smashes from the Ground right in front of them.
Gail: There, that medallion. That’s the Codex. Get that girl!
The Gamma droid, standing eight foot tall looms before Akane and A-ko.
Gamma droid: (mechanical voice) You're coming with me!
Akane: Huh?
A-ko: WHAT!
The gamma droid doesn’t reply. Instead, it's mechanical arms extend with frightening speed, embracing Akane. Just as quickly, the built in back thrusters engage, and the Gamma droid, with Akane, lifts off.
A-ko: NO!!!!!!!
Genma: I don't know Tendo, but I sense a great evil at work! Wait isn't that Akane!
Genma points up at a robot that is flying through the air with Akane trapped firmly in its claw.
Akane: Raaannnmaaaaaaaaaa!
Soun: Akaneeeeeee!
Soun burst into tears.
Gail holds the medallion above his head.
Akane and C-ko are tied up, Akane watching Gail nervously. C-ko seems to be in a kind of a trance, she's staring blankly at a wall.
Gail: At last! I have the power! Witness the power of the Codex Medallion!
Gail: (Lifting the medallion above his head.) By the power of the Alpha Cygnan sun, the moon, and the planets, MOVE THE FORTRESS!!!!!
Meanwhile, back in Graviton City it is a sunny peaceful day. An Earth Defence Force airship patrols the skies surveying the bay area for any sign of trouble.
Airship pilot: Ahh... Another peaceful day.
Airship co-pilot: I guess you're right, but it doesn’t hurt to maintain watch.
Airship pilot: (chuckles) Yeah, you're right. It sure is easy money! (laughs at his own joke)
The Graviton Bay area seems to be at peace. It is high tide, and the remains of the Alien Spaceship that crashed is covered, only the galaxy bridge is visible.
All of a sudden, the sea turns to foam.
Airship Co-pilot: Oh My GOD, Look!!!!
Airship Pilot: Quick! Alert the Director!
Director-General Zuma, Commander of the Earth Defence Force surveys the spectacle before him.
Director: Oh no...
Colonel Lawence Yashida, a spit and polish soldier marches into the war room.
Col. Yashida: (salutes) Sir! The alien spaceship has cleared the bay, though we are registering no obvious power source.
Director: Any word from above?
Col. Yashida: No sir. May I remind you, in an emergency such as this you have authority to act swiftly.
Director: Yes... That's right... (pauses) Ahhh.... Maintain observation discreetly. (thinking) That cursed spaceship is FINALLY leaving! (0utloud) If we leave it alone, maybe it won't come back...
Col. Yashida: What was that sir?
Director: Uhhh..... err. Nothing, nothing at all. I didn't say anything!
Col. Yashida: Commander! The spaceship may well be attacking the planet! We must deploy a pre-emptive strike. I formally request that you take command of the situation, Sir!
Director: Ahhhh.... yes. Send a squadron of Osprey's to sector 7 G.
Col. Yashida: But Commander! Sector 7 G is nowhere near the battle fortress! Are you sure?
Director: Um... It's a diversionary tactic. We'll take them by surprise!
Col. Yashida: (doubtful) An unusual tactic sir.
Director: (crosses his arms smugly) They are my orders,Colonel.
Col. Yashida: Yes sir! (turns to communications) Deploy the fighters!
A group of ACI-20 Osprey's fly in formation, heading for sector 7 G.
Wing leader: Ok, men, I know you are all itching for action. Unfortunently we've been ordered well clear of the alien spaceship. Is that understood?
A gung-ho pilot, Tom "President" Whitmore, swears.
Whitmore: Goddamn it! We must fight the alien menace. We can't just let them walk all over us!
Nervous Wingman: Uh.. Wing Leader? The spaceship is heading for Tokyo!
Wing leader: Understood. E.D.F Headquarters. Do you copy?
Kuno: Oh pig tailed girl! I shall protect you from my accursed fiance!
Ranma(Girlishly): Oh yes please save me!
The K.U.N.O swings its laser boken near B-ko who dodges out of the way
B-ko: Accursed? You idiot that’s Ranma! Ranma! Akagiyama Missiles!
Kuno: Boken parry!
K.U.N.O swings his Boken at incredible speed, deflecting every one of B-ko's missiles. Their courses altered, the missiles explode at random locations through out the park.
Ryoga: Ranma Die!
Ryoga throws his umbrella which hits the ground cracking it inches from Ranma. She looks in to see a pipe has been cracked steam drifts up from the pipe before a shower of hot water explodes turning Ranma back into his original form.
Ryoga: Enough running away Ranma time to face me.
Ryoga starts trading blows with Ranma.
Ranma: Uh Ryoga.... Kuno: Ranma what have you done with my Pig Tailed Goddess!
Both Ranma and Ryoga look up as K.U.N.O brings its boken down on top of Ranma and Ryoga, both of whom dodge out of the way.
Whitmore: I don't believe this! It's time for action!
Tom "President" Whitmore breaks formation.
Wing Leader: President! What the devil are you doing?!
Whitmore: I'm gonna whip E.T's ass! Those Aliens think they can roam anywhere they want. Not on my planet!
The supersonic fighter covers the distance to the Egota Class Cruiser in scant minutes.
Whitmore: Take this! Whitmore fires a volley of missiles at the spaceship, a massive target, some 6 kilometres in length, and misses!
Whitmore: Damn! I 've got a missile left... I want another shot at this!
Wing leader: Negative President, you must retreat!
Whitmore: No.. I.. want.. one.. more.. shot...
Whitmore fires his last missile, which explodes beneath the spaceship's hull, dislodging a massive spear of metal from the underbelly. The hundred meter long shard only just misses Whitmore's Osprey.
Whitmore: Sheeyit! Men, I still have one more missile left... ME!
With that, Tom "President" Whitmore throttles his fighter to the max, and coming up from underneath, rams the space cruiser.
Kind Officer: Everybody thought your father was crazy, but you should be proud. You're father was a hero.
Son: Nope, Dad was a loony all right.
Daughter: A grade "A" Nutter!
Ranma: Nyaaaaa you missed me!
Kuno: Curse you Saotome you will not win this day!
The Gamma droids laser lines Ranma up in its target. To its shock though Ranma leaps out of the way revealing the K.U.N.O swinging its laser boken straight at the scope. The Droid almost looks surprised as it explodes into flames.
Hikaru Daitokuji is in the Garden of Kuno, dressed in his battle gear. (a genuine Elvis stage costume.) Standing on a podium, he addresses his troops before him.
Hikaru: My loyal troops. Your chosen leader has betrayed us by not showing up at the appointed time after all. I will be your leader. (he pauses) There has been a slight change of plan, the objective is no longer in Graviton City. Gentleman, the mountain has come to Mohammad. (He points to the skies.) There is your target!
At first, only clouds are visible. Then, ominously and silently, the six kilometre long Egota class cruiser emerges from the shroud of clouds. It is decrepit and battle worn, pocketed by hundreds of craters in the hull. Despite the smiling C-ko face painted on the front of the ship, and the colourful "Spaceship land" murals, the cruiser looks evil and foreboding.
The troops appraise their prospective objective thoughtfully. Finally, they speak.
Martial artist 1: You have GOT to be kidding!
Martial artist 2: We don't stand a chance!
The rest of the troops grumble in agreement.
Hikaru: (in desperation) Wait! I'll double your pay! I'll even TRIPLE it for god's sake!
Martial artist 3: Forget it!
Martial artist 4: (Aussie accent) Come on, lets have a cold one.
Martial artist 5: We may be Ninja but we're not stupid you know.
Hikaru, for once is beaten. he sags to his knees. The mercenaries all file out of the garden, muttering to themselves.
B-ko: How DARE you interfere in my duel with Ranma. Eat this!
Ryoga(thinking): How many of those things does she have anyway? (Outloud) BAKUSAI TENKETSU!!!
Ryoga strikes the pavement shattering it and causing himself to fall into the sewers. The missiles pass by where Ryoga was and strike the ground harmlessly. (Except for the millions of Yen worth of structural damage to the road)
B-ko: Where did he go?
Suddenly a pillar of pure ki energy envelops B-ko as it erupts from the ground and she falls to the ground with various systems shorting out.
B-ko: What was that?
Ryoga climbs out of the hole covered in sewerage and looking rather weary.
Ryoga: It's called the Shishi Houkou Dan.
B-ko: Well this is called a machine gun. Akagiyama Machi....
A-ko: STOP IT!
A-ko steps out in front of them.
B-ko: Ahh... Finally I will defeat you, A-ko!
A-ko: This is no time for fights, B-ko--- HEY!! B-ko grasps A-ko's arms by her forarm bracers.
B-ko: Special Akagiyama spin!
B-ko spins at a supersonic rate visible only as a blur. A-ko is sent flying, minus her bracers.
A-ko: Yaaah! A-ko hits a tree, knocking it over. She stands, and brushes herself off.
A-ko: Wait a minute... A-ko punches the air in front of her. A concentrated force tears the ground up between her and B-ko.
A-ko: Alright!
B-ko: Huh?
Captain Napolipolita and D stand in an alleyway, looking up at the Cruiser. The Captain embraces D with joy.
Captain: D! We're saved! We're finally going home!
D: Wait a minute...
D pulls out a pair of binoculars, training them on the ship.
D: Captain! That's our ship!
Captain: Then it's been repaired! (pulls out a hip flask) Time to celebrate! (Swig)
D: Something's strange... The engine's are dead.
The Captain spits out her drink with shock, spraying D.
Captain: Then this means... Hijack by an insidious tractor-beam! Oh no! (bursts into tears) Police! Police! I'm being robbed! Why is there never a police man when you need one? (takes another swig)
D: Never fear Captain, I, D will personally see to it that our spaceship, and our Princess are returned.
D rips off her tacky spy clothes in a single move, revealing her battle bikini underneath. She holds her Scimitar in front of her.
D: I will not fail you, Captain.
A-ko: C-ko and Akane have been kidnapped!
B-ko: C-ko!
Ryoga: Akane!
The ominous shadow of the Egota class cruiser falls over the trio.
End of chapter 5.
Authors notes:
Ed: There is some speculation on just what the aftermath of Project A-ko part 3 was when A-ko punched the ship's deck. In part 4 the ship doesn’t actually appear, but the Captain laments it's loss, so I assumed that it was destroyed. In this fanfic though, I figured that A-ko's punch must have gone right through the ship, disturbing the rubble beneath the ship. The Alien Battle fortress settles even deeper into the bay, visible only in low tide. This is supported by the animation of Project A-ko part four, most of the time the ship is invisible. But there is a scene where Kei looks over the bay at night, and there is a large shadowy mass in the middle of the bay. I figure that was the remains of the stricken spaceship.
Dave: Does anyone know what’s going on cause I don't.... Looks like this is gunna drag over into another chapter.... again, hate it when that happens.
