The Death of Ranma Saotome...?: It Begins... [Episode 10134]

by Duraiken

Ranma Saotome, or Saotome Ranma if you prefer, can be considered one of, if not the, best of his generation of fighters.

Unfortunately the kind of attention that kind of reputation draws is more of a problem than most people might think. This day was to be the prime example.

On the way to school, Ranma was knocked into LEO by Akane. He landed in an area of Nerima he had not yet been to, right on the border of one of Tokyo's several other districts. Grumbling about the way his Uncute tomboy of a fiance was treating him, Ranma came accross a back alley wherein a horrific event was taking place. A shadowy figure was in the alley, feeding off of the entrails and remains of men, women, and even children and pets of varying ages and sizes.

Ranma was filled with a mixture of utter disgust and pure hurricane-like fury, but he also felt a sense of deep dread. Whatever the thing in the alley was, just being in relative proximity to it scared him in ways the Neko-Ken never had.

His mind was made up, however. Whatever this thing was, it had to be stopped.

An hour and a half later, the fight of the century had finally ended. Ranma had fought the dark creature, giving it his all. It had been exactly like when he'd fought Saffron, multiplied by a magnitude beyond imagination. Except this time, he'd lost.

With what he was sure was his last breath, Ranma looked up, taking in the scene of pure destruction and devastation caused by the fight he had with this... this... monster was the only word he could find to describe it. He had mortally wounded it, thankfully, but he doubted it would die. He just hoped the others could handle it...

• Ranma is dead. His fight with the unknown dark force has earned him a place in Asgard as a Legendary Warrior. But back on Midgard...
• Ranma has died. But the creature has some dark purpose for his body. What is it?
• Ranma's fight with the creature has not killed him, but it has left him changed. What has he become?
• Ranma is still alive, but mortally wounded, just as the creature itself is. What now?
• Someone wanders across the battlefield. What do they do?
• Your choice.
