Memoires of a Panda

characters are bla bla bla....

Genma Saotome sat down in his study at his hand carved mahogany writing desk. Adgusting his gold rimmed glasses and sipping his expensive wine he leaned back against the leather chair the Queen of England had given him for his birthday last year. He smiled at the fond memory as he watched the flames dance in the stone fireplace. He adjusted the fox trim collar of his bathrobe and ordered his orchestra to play a ballad while he wrote his next best seller.
Genma nodded his head as he came out of his fantasy. The reality was, Genma had not yet written an award winning novel, he was not a millionare. He still lived in the Tendo house hold, doing some small work for Dr Tofu and forcing his son to fullfill his destiny and marry Akane Tendo, thus inheriting the Tendo Dojo.
Unfortunately that day seemed a long ways off. Ranma was beeing foolish, the boy simply refused to accept the fact that his father was right, as always and wouldn't exactly as he was ordered. Genma only wanted the best for his son after all. Well, regardless of his good intensions, the dojo was a long ways off, so, Genma found a faster way to get rich.
Hundreds of people got rich by selling award winning novels. So, Genma too would write such a novel. This was an idea he'd though of months ago but lacked the finance to get started. He'd need a word processor and editor and such. However, all his hard work had finally paid off. After months of searching he'd finally found Ranma's life savings. The ingrate boy had hidden them all the way at the bottom of a locked box he'd hidden under his clothes in the back of one of his drawers. Didn't that ingrate boy trust his father at all? Genma took the money, tossing the box with the rest of it's contents, mostly old photos and such out the window into the carp pool. It was time to get rich.

A short trip to the stoors later, Genma discovered that computers and editors were very expencive, never one to give up though, he spent the money at an expencive restaurant and hit the local library. They let you use their word processors there.
Genma sat down in front of the keyboard and stared at the monitor. Now all he needed was an idea. Hmmm, what was it his teacher told him a long long time ago? Oh right, it was Genma you worthless good for nothing, you'll never amount to anything in life! Well Genma wasn't about to let that teacher have the last laugh. He'd show the world what an incredible person he was, he'd write about, himself.

It was a cold and stormy night in the middle of Alaska. During the war, world war, uum, hmm, some war. Anyways. My mother traversed those boiling deserts with my father, their only belonging a donkey wich bared them all the way to some stable in Japan. It was here that Genma was born. The shepherds say that on that night a star lit up the sky and the world this boy was born for greatness. His parents named him (I am here going to start referring to myself in the third person because it's what great people do), Genma. Genma you see was the ancient hebrew word for KingEmperor of the Universe.
My earliest memories were those he had back in elementry school. Even then I knew that I was different from the other children. I was much smarter then all of them. Naturally I became the school yard hero very quickly. None of the children ever denied my explenations of my superiority. And why would they? It was true! They believed me! They never said I was an oaf or beat me up or pulled my underwear up over my head! Those are all lies!
Now where was Genma? Oh yes, the war. Yes, it was troubled times when I went to elementry school. See, I was born during a time of peace, but many countries marvled at my greatness and went to war with Japan over me. So, I was consc....uum, encripted, uum, requested, hmm, it'll do. (Note to self, look up the word for joining the army.) Yes. They asked my to join the army, to man their new single fighter jet. It was a top secret weapon that cost Japan all of it's money to build and there would never be another one like it. Fortunately the army had three. I was the leader of this group wich we called, the Skull Squadron. My team mates were named Roy Fokker and Amuro Ray.
It was a long war. However, because of my leadership qualities, the war didn't last very long. Victory was well within our grasp when the aliens released their secret weapon. They called it a Death Star. It was a giant planet sized space ship with the power to blow up planetsand they planned to use it on the earth. Amuro, Roy and I Me, Amuro and Roy flew up there in our jets. There was only one thing we could do. The dreaded Delta Formation. We called upon the powers of the five magics, flew in perfect harmony with nature and...stuff, and slammed our jets together, forming Getter Panda.
With me piloting Getter Panda, yes me, Roy and Amuro were so confident in my skills they went home and uum, joined the army or something. Anyways, I used the power of Getter Panda to crush the Death Star. It cost Getter Panda his life though because to defeat him I had to detonate the getterium, atmoic, sub nuclear core thing. I was certain I was going to die but was willing to sacrifice my life to end the terrible century long war. I survived though.
Anyways. After returning to earth, I went home and stuff. The president was there. He personally thanked me and gave me a special watch that he could use to contact me whenever evil threatened the Earth again. But it would be years before I was ever called upon again.
About a month later Genma received a distress call on his watch. Once again I called upon the strange powers I possessed, who knows where that space ship my parents found me in that had crashed on earth when I was a baby, and I turned into, Captain Japanda!
I flew to the Tokyo Tower, because Godzilla was climbing it. He was no match for the powers of Super Panda though. I beat him. And rescued the most beautifull girl I ever laid my eyes on before. Her name was Nodoka..... uuum, err, Smith. Anyways. I bought her a very expencive diamond ring and proposed to her. She might have said no. But I was smart. See, I slipped a very potent drug into her tea one day when I knew she was home alone. My skills of beeing Batman have many uses you see. She was so out of it she couldnt say no, so, I got her knocked up and her parents had no choice but to let me marry her. She liked the ring I stole bought too.
Then I lived happilly ever after till my ingrate son ruined my life! Marry Akane!

Genma leaned back in the library's chair as the printer printed out his life's work. He smiled, not only was this going to make him rich, children all over the world would have a new role model! Genma dropped the manuscript off at a publisher's office on his way home.
week later...

Ranma was still mad about his box beeing ruined. It was something his mother had packed for him when he was a baby. She meant for him to keep his treasures in it. It was silly but it made him sad. Not to mention the pictures. It was just him and Akane mostly over the past year since he met her, with other people he knew. He never cared for them that much, but now that they were ruined...who could be so cruel? Even Akane was beeing nice to him.
His worthless father poked his head into the bedroom, holding up a sign that read: "I am just an ordinary panda. Are those people with the white coats who are looking for Genma Saotome gone?" Ranma just gave his father a dirty look.
