Why Me?

Alternate Universe

Xelloss teleported into the room where his benefactor was waiting. “It is done.” Xelloss spoke out to the void that developed him.

“Then leave. We are no longer needing your services.” A voice said as a monitor turned on . The dim light of the screen glint off a pair of dark tinted glasses.

“May I ask why you have doing this before departing?” Xelloss asked in a soft respectful tone. His head bowed slightly as his eyes darted to his benefactor’s companion whose presence he could barely feel.

“It is beyond your understanding. We’ll be in touch should you be needed again.” The benefactor’s companion said as he started faze into that dimension.

The benefactor made a dismissing gesture towards Xelloss, and much to Xelloss’s surprise and dismay, faded away.

“Now that the fool is out of the way, let continue with the project.” The benefactor said. A desk seemed to appear in front of him and a chair suddenly seemed to fade into existence behind him.

“If I may ask, why let that child believe that she is the Lord of Shadows.” The companion asked as Xelloss’s benefactor sat down.

“For reasons beyond your imagination. Now, let us get back at the matter at hand.” The benefactor looked at the monitor that was now station on the desk.

“Yes, now it begins.” The companion said as he stared at the screen. Upon the screen, in huge words, the Divine Instrumentity Project.

Nine Months Later…

Leo saw his older sibling left first. Leo hold his breathe as his mother pushed him out. Then was blinded by the light that followed. Then with the final push, he was in the doctor’s arms.

This was shortly followed by pain as his cord was cut. The doctor cleared out his throat and spanked him, which cause Leo to take in his first breath in this new flesh.

The doctor put him into the air of a man with a mustache and long hair. “Mr. Tendo. Your other daughter.” The doctor said happily.

For the first time in this new existence, Leo realized that his true mother, the all powerful and all knowing Lord of Nightmares, had played the meanest trick on him. Reborn him as a woman.

Leo let out a cry that would have shatter windows. If fact, it did. It also pop the light bulbs and other glass related products of that floor.

In the darkness, Soun Tendo held his new daughters closely and let out a small laugh. “The names Akane and Rei will be good for you two.” Soun Tendo laughed.

The Fourth Tendo Daughter’s Life

Rei Tendo looked at the night sky from the roof. She was now six years old. She had a crazy life so far. She, is now an eighth grader for one since she was so smart. She was also a miniature Lina Inverse for another. Or the fact she was called a evil witch at school even though she slain five demons and one were wolf.

So what she fireball the teaching staff. They said she was going to be a heart breaker. Have a line of boyfriends . Screw that. That was beyond sick.

“REI TENDO. HOW MANY TIME I TOLD YOU TO STAY OFF THE ROOF!” She hear her father yelled. Rei sigh as she slid of the roof and was trying to make a landing near the koi pond., but Soun leapt up and snatch her in mid-air.

“Look honey. Your mother and I asked you never to go on the roof. You’re not a great martial artist like me.” Soun said gently. Rei looked at her father with a evil gleam in her eyes and a cat like grin and did the strongest Bear hug she could muster.

Soun squeaked as he was being crushed to death in his daughter’s grip. “Okay Daddy. Make me a strong martial artist okay.” Soun heard his daughter say to him. He smiled, this was the one. His heir.

Three years later…

“Soun, please take the children out of the room.” Kimiko as her husband. The proud Kimiko Tendo didn’t want to horrify and traumatize her children so by watching her die.

Soun started to move the children out of the hospital when Rei grabbed him by the wrist and pivot around. She completed the move by tossing her father over the shoulder.

Soun slammed into the wall and landed with a thud. “Parents are always in the way.” Rei said as she walked up to her dying mother. She faced a outreached palm at her and a yellow beam of light engulf Kimiko.

When the light faded, Kimiko was healed. Upon Kimiko’s face was the look of relief. “Hey, that felt pretty good healing mom like that. That must be that feeling good for helping others crap dad been laying on me.” Rei said. Then she walked out and went to another room and healed the person there. Soon the whole hospital was lighting up.

After a few weeks, the whole nation of Japan was bowing to Rei as if she was some mystic healer.

Three years later…

Rei Tendo, the greatest religious figure of the modern age was taking a walk. She sighed as those two guards that the Emperor himself assigned to protect her.

She really hate having those wet blankets follow her around. Running around, consist annoying her about rules and her safety. Also tell her that the clothes she picked out was the most unlady like thing in the world and she should wear something pink.

Screw that. She like the red robes she chose for herself. She model it after Rezo the Red Priest’s robes. She even got a matching staff.

She loved the effect the clothes caused people. It made her look like some high religious icon. People bow to her in respect and beg for her blessings. Politicians fought for her attention, for a simple approval from her meant that anything they say goes through with 100% backing.
She was consistently in the news and television. In fact when sighted leaving a McDonald with a Big Mac Combo and a root beer, everyone start to buy one to look cool.

They start to modeling clothes after her. It was called the Loving Healer look, or the Caring Angel Style. They had websites base on Rei activity and Rei fashion sense. Those guys yet to learn Rei’s fashion sense was that of a young man.

Someone this young and popular usually had someone perverse their image with perverse parodies of them, but not her. This practice was left alone since for some reason anyone who tried was struck by lightning no matter where they were. Some chuck it as Divine protection. Others as aliens protecting their own.

So when lightning struck a building across the street from her, she sighed. Damn, that illegal bordello. It started to catch on fire again. She was going to help when she sense trouble.

She sense someone was coming to challenge her. “Go. Help the people still inside. I‘ll join you in a moment.” She shouted to her guards. They were reluctant to follow but when she glared at them, they followed through.

A huge redheaded tan man in a dirty black gi walked from out of the growing crowd. The light from the fire made the beads around his neck seem to glow crimson. “I challenge you.” He said.

“Let me pass. I have to save to those people inside.” Rei said as she try to get around the huge man. The man just turn around, leapt high into the air, and repeatedly thrust his palms at the house. Each of the lightning quick thrust sent a fireball into the house until it was totally destroy and most of the people inside were dead.

The man fell towards the crowd and the people in the street dispersed and ran out of there to save their lives. “I am Akuma. “ He said.

“Lord of Shadows.” Rei said as she slipped in an ancient and forgotten battle stance with the staff pointed at Akuma. The wind blew of some dust off the now deserted streets. A paper fluttered in the wind, and started to slow sway to the ground as the wind left it behind.

It slowly dance it self to the street. It slid onto the ground and laid still for a moment. Then it fluttered up as Rei rushed past it.

Both opponent rushed each other. Rei duck under a flying kick aimed at her head and slammed her staff into Akuma’s back. The martial artist turned in mid air. As soon as he landed, he lunged at Rei. Rei slammed her staff into Akuma’s chin and followed up with a kick into his rib and a sweep that knock the giant off his feet.

Akuma recovered by bouncing off the ground with his hand and in mid air, threw a solid kick at Rei. She blocked it and countered with a kick of her own.

Unfortunately, Rei’s kick was caught and she was punched twice in the gut before she was sent flying into the ground. Akuma kicked her into the air before Rei could recover.

As she fell back to the ground, Akuma kick her in the gut again before she could land. Rei was hurled and she slammed into a wall and then bounced off it and towards Akuma like a bullet and kneed him in the gut.

She followed with a uppercut that sent him flying. Rei leapt into the air to attack Akuma again, only to slam into one of Akuma’s fireballs.

Rei rolled with the fall and came up next to a lamp post. She pulled it from the ground and tossed it at Akuma. Akuma just swatted it away as if it was nothing..

Unfortunately, that was just a distraction. Rei was in his face a moment later and she punch him there as well. Then she kick him in the gut and did a Russian Pile Driver.

Then she hopped up and did a hurricane kick as Akuma bounced into the air. As a finale, she slammed her staff on him six times. Much to her surprise, Akuma stood up and shook the dust and rocks that was on him.

“You are a tough bastard, aren’t ya.“ Rei said. Akuma then try to smash Rei’s head with his fist, but she deflected it and slammed the butt of the staff into Akuma’s face. Akuma stagger back, and then lunged for with a kick that connected with Rei’s hip.

Akuma took of advantage of their close distance and elbowed Rei in the back of the neck before she could recover. But recover she did, as she stopped herself from hitting the ground face first with one hand. She bent her knees and then shot up like a spring and kicked Akuma under the chin.

Akuma stagger back for a second. Then the evil giant master of the dark Hado recovered. He grabbed her by the ankles and launched her in the air. He sent fireball speeding after that impacted before she could recover. She was sent further in the sky when her anger reached it peak.

Akuma grinned as he watch his opponent right herself in the air and hover above the ground. “TIME TO END THIS!” She screamed.

Rei gathered her ki and unleashed it as a huge wave at Akuma. He blocked of course, thinking he could handle it. The wave of ki hit him, lifted him into the air, curved it path to the sky and carried into the deep blue sky before it blow up.

Rei didn’t care if Akuma had lived or died, she was currently trying to see if anyone survive Akuma’s assault on the burning building.

She sense a faint ki signature. She dove into the burning building and soon flew out with the sole survivor of the whole thing. The twelve years old girl who went inside the building to see if anyone there saw a old fat martial artist named Genma Saotome that been known to spend time in such establishment if he wasn‘t spending time eating.

***

Four years later…The Ranma Saga…

An amusing post card was in the hands of Soun Tendo. It was informing him that Genma and his son were coming here. It would be good to see his friend.

Kimiko looked over her husband shoulder. “Not that fat glutton. Why is he coming here?” Soun’s wife asked.

“Honor.” Soun had said. This got a strange look from his wife. “He wouldn’t know honor if it bit him on the…” Kimiko stopped as she noticed her youngest coming down the manor’s steps.

“Bit who on the what mama?” Rei asked while smoothing out her robe. She looked up and saw her mother frowning at her father.

“Nothing dear. Just talking about one of your father’s friends.” Rei noted how her mother practically spit the word ‘friends’ like if it was a curse.

“Ah Rei dear, call your sisters here. It is time for a family meeting.” Soun told his youngest child. Rei nodded and used the link she had with her sisters to get their attention.

Akane Tendo was currently being slammed into the mat. Her opponent, Lee from Hong Kong. She could take him on her own since she was personally trained by Rei Tendo, but it didn’t help that Lee was join by Akane’s rival Raven Colt.

Raven was very skilled and dishonest girl. She was also trained by Rei and was actually on par with Akane. Akane never like Raven. Raven was a hell of a dirty fighter out of Rei’s sight. It seemed to her that Raven specialized in the dirtier aspect of the anything goes school and took great pleasure on showing Akane that trait all the time.

It also didn’t help that Raven was bedding the other students, male or female, and has been caught trying to sneak into Rei’s bed several time. Sometimes caught trying to sneak into Akane’s bed and Kasumi’s bed as well. ‘Trying to practice for Rei’ Raven quoted the last time.

Akane stood up and went into battle stance again. She leapt up and kicked Raven in the face. Raven followed the motion and did a rainbow kick on Akane that had impact Akane’s back before the Tendo could land.

Akane flipped forward did went over Raven and did a flying kick into Lee’s face. Then she felt a tug on her mind. “I have to go you guys. My sister needs me for something. See you later.” Akane said as she grabbed her gear and headed towards the House complex.

Nabiki Tendo was pacing in her office. “I don’t care, I want you to buy more stocks in UniTech.” Nabiki said. She rolled up her eyes as she her the reply from her phone she was on.

“I don’t give a damn there a chance it might dip. I have a feeling that company is about to hit it big. I never been wrong before right?” Nabiki let out a frustrated sigh as she heard the reply.

“Look, I know there a first time for everything. But it my money, not yours. Do it before you are demoted.” Nabiki slammed the phone down.

Nabiki walked out of her office and looked at her secretary. “I’m going to my room. Wake me if anyone calls.” Nabiki told her. Her secretary nodded and went back to filing as Nabiki enter her bedroom.

That the good thing about having the main office at home. You always have bed ready when you need to lay down., Nabiki mused to herself.

Then she felt a tug in her mind as she was about to undress to sleep. She let out a curse and redressed again. She left the room and looked to her secretary. “Amelia, I’ll be with my sister today. I’ll be unreachable until I return which is unknown.”

###

Kasumi Tendo was in the middle of a duel. She and Master Wong was were shooting ki-blasts at each other. A ki-blast impacted Kasumi, and bounced off as she glowed blue.

She dodged the next three shots and cried out, “Raywing.” Kasumi immediate took to the air and shot a fury of ki-blasts at Master Wong. But the crafty master teleported out of the way.

He reappeared behind Kasumi and tapped her on the shoulder. “You lost.” The old man said. Kasumi let her head drop as she and Master Wong drift to the ground.

That was when she felt a tug on her mind. “Master Wong, I am afraid I must depart. My sister request my presence.” Kasumi said as she flew away towards the exit of the training room.

###

“They are coming father.” Rei said as she opened her eyes again. Soun nodded and examined the post card again one last time. Soun mentally prepare himself for their reaction.

Just then, the rest of his daughters stepped inside the room.

***

Watching the Tendo Temple, formerly the Tendo Dojo and household before the Nabei Enterprise and Rei Mystic Training Academy was added, were two dark beings.

One of them was sitting at a large desk. His elbows propped up and his hand interlock at front of his face, covering his mouth and facial expression. If one could seen his face, they would have froze over from the cold glare the man was giving as he glared at the image on the huge monitor in front of him.

The other one was standing behind him. He looked stiff and ridged. He seem older than the sitting man. His face betrayed no emotion that he could be feeling.

The standing man’s eye brow raised at the sight of one Genma-panda carrying Ranma-chan and walking to the front gates. He leaned forward to whisper in the sitting man’s ear.

“Look like everything is going according to plan.” The standing man whispered. The sitting man did not reply. All he did was to continue his cold, impassionate glare at the image in front of him as the dim light of the room glinted off his dark rimmed tinted glass.

The standing man stood up straight again, understanding that no reply will be coming. As they watch the monitor, upon the cold emotionless face of the sitting man, one of the corners of his lip tugged up, giving him a sinister smile.

To be continued…
