Ranma looked out the open door from the VTOL bomber he was heading in on. The ship was there. The ship that was robbing him of what his life could be.
In 2012, his life was taken from him. Everything he had worked for, everything he had struggled for, was tortured through, and strived to be was to become useless. He was supposed to set aside his old fighting days and join everyone else with this progress forward to 'a better tomorrow'.
Ranma never was good at following the crowd. So, here he is, twenty years later, about to jump out of a plane as it passes over some kind of automated arm working on a massive ship that is the device that those bureaucrats want to use to bring him back to all the sheep. He just had to get on board and take out the captain, probably the only real person on the ship.
Ranma leapt out, seeing his chance. It's just a one hundred foot drop, and he hasn't let himself slack off at all. Then again, he was getting up there in years. This could hurt.
He rebounds off the arm, then to the ship, making sure to avoid the massive welding torch that the thing is waving around. He looks about and above. The plane he had just jumped out is had dropped its bomb on its first pass and was beginning to turn around for a second when a stream of missiles impact with it, turning into a hundred tonnes of scrap. He notices the weapon platform sitting on one of the carrier's vehicle bays, an automated turret that is probably about 20 metres high. Well, it won't mean much if he finishes his mission.
A few seconds later and Ranma enters the control room quietly. A single figure is standing in front of a massive control panel, showing a tactical map of the island and the ongoing combat. The captain, he figures, is calm, collected, and thorough, making sure that each of the simulated personalities of this Antaeus vessel are doing what they are supposed to.
Not for long.
Ranma jumps forward and strikes at the captain's right shoulder, breaking it with one blow, the sound of snapping bone evident and the shriek of pain.
The very familiar shriek of pain on the very familiar face that turns around to see him. Ranma's shock at this person being there results in very quick repercussions. Repercussions in the form of a bullet passing just under his left lung.
Both he and the captain slump, staring at eachother, their injuries being too much for the moment for either to do more than that as the suddenness of their situations pass.
"Hello, Saotome," the captain gives off with a snide smirk.
Ranma also smirks, not about to be undone. "Hello...
