A/N: Morning people! My piece of fiction is written in script format and not the standard story-telling format. I don't write well in the story-telling format. So I do hope you are not put off by this format. If you are, I'm sorry to lose a fellow reader but thanks for dropping by. This chapter is just a prologue. Once I upload the next one, I think you may get the feel of my style of writing. Do give it a chance. Thanks.

Title: Lost Memories

Chapter 0: Enter Happosai!

Scene: A peaceful Friday evening in Nerima,

Women: (Screaming) Kyaaa! Ahhhhh! Eeeek!

Scene: A peaceful Friday evening in Nerima seconds ago, chaotic presently,

Happosai: (Running along the street, wearing a brown gi, a 'sneaking mask' that covered half his face tied up at the nose and carrying an overflowing bundle of sack on his back which revealed some very ahem interesting whitish and pinkish items near its opening) (Shouting joyfully) What a haul! What a haul! What a haul again today!

Horde of women: (Creating an enormous crowd of dust behind them)

#Rumble… Rumble…#

Horde of women: (Shouting) Shitagi dorobo! [Underwear thief!] Matte! Hentai oji-ji! Give me back my underwear! (Waving their exceptionally dangerous weapons composing of broomsticks, mops, baseball bats, etc, which are especially dangerous when wielded with very volatile tempers)

Happosai: (Rubs his face lovingly with a newly stolen pink bra while running) A brassierre! Brassierre! Hoo hoo! SWEETO! (Leaps onto a rooftop and roof-hops away)

Horde of women: Grrr… That hentai oji-ji escaped again! Maybe he is in league with those undergarment shopkeepers!

Happosai: (Stops roof-hopping) (Turns and faces the west) (Thinking) Umm… (Feel two battle auras raging strongly in that direction) (Smiles widely) Hoo hoo maybe there's a beautiful woman over there for me to save. (Begins to laugh merrily) Ah hahahaa! (Hops in the direction) Then when I saved her, she would be my girlfriend! Ohh sweeeto!

------

Scene: A clearing close to a forest a good distance away from the city,

Happosai: (Sees two indistinct figures locked in a fury battle) (Shoulders slumped) (Mumbling sadly to himself with big teary eyes) Why is Kami-sama so cruel to a fragile and dying old man? I don't have that many more years left to live. I just wish for a kawaii girl to take care of me and be my girlfriend. Two stupid men fighting each other are boring.

#Klak. Boom!#

Happosai: (Notices the intensity of the battle) (Thinking) Hu… Might as well observe this while I'm here. (Sits down, places his "treasure" beside him and lights his pipe) (Observes the dueling men)

(A/N: The battle will be described in Happosai's vision from afar, hence there is no dialogue. "Hu" is Happosai's sigh)

Powerful gray aura covering hooded in black robe martial artist: (Rushes forward, swinging a powerful right hook)

Martial artist in pyjamas with diminishing aura: (Sails backwards through the air as he failed to block the attack to his jaw, uprooting a tree in the process) (Gets up to his knees slowly oblivious to his surroundings, his hands holding his head trying to focus himself)

Happosai: Hmm? Pyjamas?

Hooded martial artist: (Jumps up high in the air) (Focuses his ki energy into his palms) #Syii…# (Release the potential killing ki blast from the sky) #Siuu…# (A/N: If you don't understand, "Syii" is the sound generated when the user is compiling his energy into his palm and "Siuu" is the sound generated when the ki blast travel through the air. Just imagine that kind of sound)

#Brooom…#

The ki blast caused such intensive destruction upon impact shaking the earth and leaving the already wounded martial artist lying in a two feet deep crater.

#Kla kla kla…#

Gravel and dirt came raining down for a few moments.

Happosai: Hmm is over already?

Pyjamas clad martial artist: (Lies there for a good moment before finally rising up to his knees unsteadily, holding his head)

Happosai: So stubborn. Just like Ranma. Hu… Why is he so stubborn in wearing that precious pink bra of mine? He should be honored to wear it. After all not many boys like him could wear it properly. Grr… Students nowadays never respect their masters' requests! His manner to his master is unforgivable.

Pyjamas clad martial artist: (Stands up and concentrates ki into his palms) #Syii…# (Targets it out towards the hooded man) #Siuu…#

Hooded martial artist: (Flicks off the incoming blast effortlessly) #Pak.# (Laughing) (The blast collides with ground) (A/N: "Pak" the sound when the ki blast came into contact with the hand and flicked off to another direction)

#Broom! Kla kla…#

Rocks and stone shattered as the ki blast comes into contact to the ground.

Pyjamas clad martial artist: (Slight increased in his battle aura intensity as he charges towards the hooded man)

Hooded martial artist: (Drives his body forward with his legs blurred meeting his opponent)

Pyjamas clad martial artist: (Twists his body slightly and grasps his right fist with his left hand to increase the power of his elbow attack to the incoming opponent)

Hooded martial artist: (Evades the incoming elbow attack with ease)

Pyjamas clad martial artist: (Stunned at the sudden disappearance of his opponent on his anterior view)

Hooded martial artist: (Materializing behind his opponent) (Instantly grasps his hands together, glowing them, raises over his head and brings down a deadly blow onto his opponent head)

Pyjamas clad martial artist: (Fell to his knees) #Pa.# (Drops to the ground motionless obviously had succumbed to his injuries) #Thud.#

Hooded martial artist: (Laughs)

(A/N: Happosai's view on the duel ends here)

Happosai: (Sitting down and smoking his pipe) Hm this man is powerful. He can easily beat Ranma. And that technique with his glowing hands… It seems deadly. And his martial arts style look rather familiar... Hmm… (Spots an undistinguished figure lying on the ground further behind the hooded martial artist) (Strain his eyes to sharpen his vision) Nani? (Smiles widely) Hoo hoo sweeto! (Runs towards the motionless figure resting on the ground) (Thinking) Maybe I can save her and she shall be my girlfriend. (Begins to laugh joyfully) Ah hahaha greato!

Hooded martial artist: (Sees a form dashing passed him in a flash) (Mutters) Inquisitive idiot. (Follows Happosai to his destination)

Happosai: Hoo sweeto! (Closing near to the woman and realizes is no more than a girl) (Sees the girl distinguishes herself with long blue hair darker than Akane's, with her bangs reaching to her shoulders, tied up loosely into a ponytail with a big red ribbon. Her fringe just covering her eyebrows did not hide her adorable features, small cute sharp nose, and attractive pale lips… And blood trickling down the side of her head) (Sees the girl dressed in a torn, slightly burnt and bloodied pink kimono revealing a lethal deep opened wound on the left side of her abdomen, bleeding profusely, laying on the ground in a bloody mess) (Huge watery eyes appear on his old face) (Low trembling voice) S-so kawaii… (Draws nearer) Na-nani… (Holds the girl's by her wrist) P-pulse… No pulse…. (Battle aura starts raging through him) (Shouts) Who did this!

Hooded martial artist: (Standing nearby) Ba-ka…

Happosai: (Turns around)

Hooded martial artist: (Smiles evilly) Isn't it fairly obvious that I was given the honor to do it. (Bows arrogantly)

Happosai: Teme! (Assumes an attacking stance)

Hooded martial artist: (Confidently) Yare yare. I shall let you join her, ojii-san. [Grandfather]

Happosai: (Poses his body in a pitching form) Happö Daikarin Supesharu! (Throws a special big round fuse bomb)

Hooded martial artist: (Catches the bomb and looks at it) Sending a toy my way. Wahahahahaha!

Happosai: (Shakes his head) Hu, orokamono ga... [Sigh, the fool...]

Hooded martial artist: That is so pathe…

#BOOOOOOM!#

Sending the fellow a good distance away, charred.

Hooded martial artist: Temee ojii-san! (Gets up angrily)

Happosai: (Hands on hips) Hahahaha! That will teach you to respect your elders.

Hooded martial artist: (Narrows his eyes) Ku'so! (Thinking) I will get you for this humiliation! (Controls his battle aura to the maximum and instantly dashes forward towards Happosai) Kieru Kumo! [Vanishing Spider!] (Prepares to execute a punch)

Happosai: (Positions his pipe in front of him to deflect his enemy's frontal attacks) (Reading his opponent's movements) (Thinking) Soon he will appear behind me like against the earlier fight. Hn… I dislike the arrogant look on your face!

Hooded martial artist: (Side steps Happosai at unbelievable speed, that is invisible to the naked eye, to reach Happosai's posterior) (Thinking) He's a gon… (Screams) Arrgg! (Clutches his face)

Happosai: (Grins) (Draws back his fist) Hahahaha! Bakero.

Hooded martial artist: (Thinking) This old man is… Grrr. (Kicks out with his right foot)

Happosai: (Blocks and targets a punch to the head)

Hooded martial artist: (Blocks and counterattacks)

A column of dust is soon produced covering them totally except for occasionally revealing parts of the legs, arms and heads.

Hooded martial artist: Ooof! (Hurtles to the ground, clutching his abdomen)

Happosai: Hahaha! I am Happosai the Master of Anything Goes Martial Arts School. Wait a hundred more years before thinking of defeating me.

Yamazaki: (Glares at Happosai) (Thinking) Anything Goes huh. I remembered you now… (Coughs out blood) (Begins to speak) It isn't over yet ojii-san. I, Yamazaki Hisashi, Master of Everything Also Can Martial Arts School, successor of Yamaguchi-sensei, shall finish you!

Happosai: Everything Also Can! (Thinking) But that can't be! I thought I removed this annoying rivaling group years ago. Che. They must have revived during my absence when Soun and Genma sealed me in that cave ten years ago.

Yamazaki: (Gets up on his feet) My master is inferior compared to me! (Clench his fists on his side) Ryu Nagaru! [Dragon's Strike] #Syii…# (Channels his ki energy to his fists)

Happosai: (Thinking) He is focusing his ki to his fists, enveloping them, to enhance his punching power. (Initiates a defensive posture)

Yamazaki: Hekk (Throws a punch at Happosai)

Happosai: Nani! (Dodges away from the incoming punch, abandoning trying to block the attack)

Yamazaki: Heh heh… (Grins)

Happosai: (Thinking) The tenacity of that blow…

Yamazaki: (Smirks) Scared now eh? Don't worry. A quick death it will be for you ojii-san.

Happosai: Hah! No one can kill me!

Yamazaki: (Thinking) Che! This ojii-san is as good as before even after all these years. That I admit. I better kill Shinguji first before he regained consciousness. (Begins to speak) Let me finish my task first before I play with you. (Dashes towards Shinguji)

Happosai: (Sees Yamazaki running towards his unconscious opponent) No! (Chases) (Thinking) I cannot allow the boy to die. I must know what happened when I was sealed away in that cave.

Yamazaki: (Drawing near to Shinguji) (Executes the Ryu Nagaru punch aiming towards Shinguji's chest) (Yells) Die and join the others, Shinguji! And I shall revive my School! (Crushes Shinguji's ribs upon impact, puncturing his lungs)

#Crack!#

Happosai: Hiyeak! (Launches a kick to Yamazaki's head)

Yamazaki: Ow! (Collides face first to the ground, hurtling ten meters away)

Happosai: Chiku'so! I'm too late. (Examines Shinguji) (Thinking) His injuries are too severe. I better perform the pressure points I learnt in China that will increase his healing recovery rate. It's probably his only chance to live. (Begins to deftly touch numerous points on the body)

Yamazaki: (Gets up swiftly) He must die! (Punches Happosai on the back his head)

Happosai: Don… Ouch! (A finger unknowingly touches a secluded pressure point on Shinguji's right temple as he fell hurtling to the ground) Ah ite! (Rubs his head furiously) (Turns around) Onore! [You! In the anime is translated as "You wretch!"] (Points out his index finger) (A/N: Omae, anta, anata, kisama and onore all have the same meaning as "you". But the Japanese language is one of the most complex languages in the world. Each of these may have literally the same meaning but they are all different in terms of intensity. Omae is a word that is considered harsh for a woman to use but is used by Shampoo, Ukyo and Cologne. Akane doesn't use it. Is more common for men to use omae. Onore is used when he (user) is angry, which is a bit harsh)

Yamazaki: (Raging mad) Shi-Shi Unare! [Roaring Lion!] #SYII…# (Releases a massive red glowing spherical qi blast as huge as Happosai's most enormous fuse bomb) #SIUU…#

Happosai: Ack! (Fruitlessly tries to defend himself with his arms)

#BROOOOM! Crack! Kla kla kla…#

Happosai: (Watches in half-horror as the ki blast hit directly onto Shinguji instead of himself)

Yamazaki: (Gasping for air lightly) Let's continue our duel shall we… (Cracks his knuckles) I'm all warmed up now.

Happosai: (Watches the dying body of Shinguji appended at the frontal edge of the ki blast traveling eastwards through the sky) (Turns his head and glances at the dead body of the unidentified girl thirty meters away) (Thinking) Everything Also Can… (Enormous dark red battle aura starts to rage around him)

Yamazaki: (Grins) (Generates his own fury gray battle aura)

End.

A/N: Wondering what's going on? I used to wonder also haha. But since I finished up the chapter on the past, its clearer for me. Does Chapter 0 seemed too short? My next and all future posts/updates will have 6 chapters at 1 go totaling at least 10k words each. This is just the beginning of everything.
