Pluto's Plague - Beast Boy Ranma: Stealth is easy when you are green [Episode 216987]

by Simplywritting

As the hospital staff scurried to find the young boy named Ranma Saotome, no one noticed as a small emerald colored fly make its out of an open window near empty hospital cafeteria. The fly continued on its journey past apartments, businesses, cars, and buses until it came to a small empty lot full of grass and a tree. It flew several circles by the local and spotting no one in the area it changed form. The fly began to grow bigger, two stubby legs near the back of its body grew and turned into human legs, meanwhile two legs in the front grew into human arms, and within moments the fly turned into an emerald skinned youth with slightly elfin ears. A sigh escaped the young boys lips, “Man can’t a guy practice the Art in peace?” he muttered. Then he drew a couple of cleansing breaths and began a simple kata meant to impart balance and coordination. As Ranma Saotome began to relax and go through the motions of the kata, he tried to collect his thoughts. The last thing he remembered was lying on the hospital bed, weak but getting better, and then some woman dressed like a sadomasochistic student in an all black fuku burst into the room. She pointed a ridiculously long staff with teeth like a key at his mother and then a ball of energy slammed into her knocking his mother unconscious. After making some speech the woman then pointed the staff at him and smiled grimly.

And then…nothing. Try as he might he could not remember a thing afterwards; no pain, no dying, just a bright light and a feeling of peace and ease. For a moment he remembered a brown haired woman with flowing clothes of white with blue and gold trim and a smile that made him blush at the attention. But he could not make her facial features out or remember her name. The next thing Ranma clearly remembers is hitting the grassy ground. The ability to feel anything, in this case pain, brought his world back into sharp focus. “Get up boy there is no time to waste!” A voice to his right yelled. “You’ve got some techniques to master before bedtime.” As Ranma looked in that direction his eyes widened and a big smile plastered on his face.

“PAPA!” Ranma shouts as he stood up and grabbed onto the man with a bandana on his head and wrap around eyeglasses who was shocked by his son’s behavior. “Whats gotten into you boy?” the man asked suspiciously trying to get the boy off of him. Ranma could not have been more ecstatic his father, who his mom had said died two weeks ago, was back alive and kicking. Finally after a full ten minutes of the happy boy holding onto his father the older man managed to pry Ranma off him and roughly push him away. “None of that Ranma, you’re going to become a man on this trip so the first thing you must learn is that real men don’t show their emotions.” Genma lectured with a glare. Ranma was a little put off by his fathers’ actions but nodded. Genma smiled at the boy and then held up some small weights, “Now then onto training!”
