Ranma 1/2 Fan Fiction ❯ Ranma Vs. Krueger ❯ The Terror Continues ( Chapter 2 )
Author's Opening Comments and Disclaimer: Okay, since I opened the first story by going straight into it (kind of a clever move, skipping all the legal bullshit and getting right to the story, lol). Anyway, like most fan fiction writers, I do not own the rights to anything I'm writing. Yes, if you thought I was Rumiko Takahashi or Wes Craven, you must have been really impressed by my portrayal of the characters that they created, thinking "only Rumiko and/or Wes could do those characters with such accuracy!". Although I doubt you actually had such thoughts, because Rumiko wouldn't go about systematically killing off her characters and Wes wouldn't make Freddy be so incredibly slapstick (ignoring the fact that he co-wrote Nightmare on Elm Street 3, besides the level of slapstick here is even higher than that movie). I should also note that at the conclusion of this story, I have made a tally of the body count, the number of "Freddyisms" and the number of times Kasumi says "Oh, my!", amongst other things. Lol
Anyway, I don't own either of the characters, and if I did, I'd be a lot more responsible with them. Since I don't own the rights, let the killing spree continue! Gwahahahahahahaha!!!!
Also, if you want to see more of those crazy characters, Dimi-Chan and Juton, and are a View Askewniverse fan to boot, check out Chasing Akane, and R&R because I haven't gotten any reviews for it at all yet. I'm planning on typing up and uploading another part of it as soon as I'm finished with this. Anyway, onward…
Revision Opening Comments: I've just finished reformatting the "script" using screenwriting software. Now you get to read it in the "proper" formatting. Anyway, I added the disclaimer at the beginning of the first part, as you may have noticed, and I'm of course going through and fixing some typos and such. Anyway, enjoy the fic.
Ranma Vs. Krueger (Part 2)
INT. SPRINGWOOD ART MUSEUM -- NIGHT
Ranma opens his eyes, and finds himself lying in the middle of an art museum.
RANMA
How'd I get here?
A familiar voice can be heard faintly in the distance.
RANMA (CONT'D)
Kuno?
In the next room, Kuno has gone into another one of his impassioned sonnets. This time, however, he has absolutely no audience whatsoever.
KUNO
Fate, such an evil element thou art! To see it fit that I be torn from my loves! I had once held my destiny to be a magnificent and splendid thing, but no more! I am destined for pain, sorrow and never-ending torment. This is what my life has become-an empty shell, a hollowed-out version of what was once a man.
RANMA
Oh, c'mon-Kuno! Get over it already! Akane never really liked you and I know for a FACT that your "pig-tailed goddess" couldn't stand the sight of you!
KUNO
Ranma?! VILLAIN!! I shall slay thee!
Freddy, stepping out of the shadows behind the stage Freddy: As long as you let me slay him first!
Kuno quickly turns around to face the intruder.
KUNO (CONT'D)
A DEMON!!
RANMA
(stepping next to Kuno) Now I'm going to have to agree with you on that one, Kuno.
KUNO
Hold, you're tongue, villain!
RANMA
Now that villain thing-
There's a loud scream in the background. Ranma suddenly fades out and disappears.
FREDDY
Damn, when one of them starts screamin', the other stops dreamin'!
INT. RANMA AND AKANE'S BEDROOM -- DAWN
Ranma has suddenly woken up, mostly due to Akane's "prompting" (by way of mallet).
AKANE
Kasumi's screaming again.
RANMA
Sounds like it's from the living room this time.
They head downstairs.
INT. LIVING ROOM
Genma and Soun are already there, but too dumbfounded to do anything useful. Kasumi's still screaming and looking down at something-a Monopoly board, with four distinct gash streaks on it, and also covered with blood-blood that's trailing into another room-the downstairs bathroom!
Ranma runs over to the door and as soon as it's open he gasps aloud.
RANMA
Ohmigawd! Akane!
Akane follows him and nearly faints.
The trail of blood ends at the bathtub, where Nabiki is soaking in her own blood.
AKANE
Who the hell did this?
RANMA
Well, I'm not 100% certain, but I think it might be the guy I just saw in my dreams talking to Kuno.
KASUMI
Fr-Freddy?
RANMA
Yep, that'd be him.
INT. ART MUSEUM -- STILL DARK
Kuno's alone, Freddy's nowhere in sight.
KUNO
It seems that your wit is matched only by your cowardice, demon!
GIRLS' VOICES
1, 2, Freddy's coming for you.
GOAT
Baaaaahhhhhh!!!!
Kuno turns around, looking back at the stage where there are now three little girls, jumping rope. They bathe in an ethereal white spotlight coming from an invisible source above the stage. There's also a goat, that runs off into the shadows. What it was doing there, is not at all clear.
GIRLS
3, 4, better lock your door… 5, 6 grab your crucifix… 7, 8, gonna stay up late… 9, 10, Freddy's gonna win…
The spotlight fades away and Kuno just stands there, not knowing what to make of what he's just seen.
From behind him, a clawed hand grabs his shoulder. Kuno quickly turns around, taking out his Keno Stick, but before he can even finish this movement, the stick is cut in half.
KUNO
Have you no sense of honor?!
FREDDY
Hmmm…let me think…nope, I have me none!
KUNO
Ha! I have no need for a weapon! I suggest you choose your next witticism carefully, Freddy, it may be your last!
Kuno gets into his Kung Fu pose just before gallons and gallons of insta-dry concrete is poured onto him from above, transforming him into a human statue.
FREDDY
How about this one-"Now that's what I call 'Martial Art'!" Ahahahahahahaha!!!
He then gives the Kuno statue a sideways glance, examining it.
FREDDY (CONT'D)
Hmmm…but I think I should try going for something a bit more abstract!
We cut to the ground, where after a quick KA-CHING! Sound, we see the concrete-covered and very much disemboweled head of Kuno, with blood leaking from its base, rolling into the frame.
EXT. 1428 ELM STREET -- MORNING
Dimi-Chan and Juton stand at the door. The former rings the doorbell one more time. Still no answer.
DIMI-CHAN
Juton, did we remember to fix that?
JUTON
Actually come to think of it…we forgot.
DIMI-CHAN
Oh great, so I've been standing here like a fucking idiot all this time ringing a door bell that doesn't work!
Juton ignores her and simply knocks on the door.
A few moments later, Akane opens it.
AKANE
Hello?
DIMI-CHAN
Hey, I'm Dimi-Chan, and this here's my fiancé Juton. We're the landlords.
AKANE
Uhm…now isn't exactly a good time.
DIMI-CHAN
We live in the house across the street-we heard screaming…did someone die?
AKANE
Well, actually… Dimi-Chan peaks her head inside the living room where there are all he blood stains.
AKANE (CONT'D)
Look, I can ex-
DIMI-CHAN
OH COOL! Juton, take a look at this!
Juton reluctantly steps inside and looks, then immediately turns away, facing Akane.
Dimi-Chan is already heading into the bathroom as Juton explains.
JUTON
Please forgive my fiancé's behavior. She's got some weird interests-really into blood, gore, and violence, that kinda stuff. She told me something about this whole renting out the house thing being exciting, but I had no idea what she was talking about, until just now…
DIMI-CHAN
Oh my gawd! It's so disgusting! I LOVE IT!
JUTON
As I said, REALLY weird interests.
He turns back and walks towards Dimi-Chan, looking at the ceiling, resisting the urge to look down.
DIMI-CHAN
Juton, check this out!
He reflexively looks into the bathroom and immediately regrets it.
JUTON
(to Dimi-Chan) Does this place have a second bathroom?!
DIMI-CHAN
Yeah-upstairs, why?
Not bothering to answer, Juton runs up the stairs and in a few seconds he's heard barfing his brains out.
DIMI-CHAN (CONT'D)
I'll never understand why he has such a weak stomach…
AKANE
Excuse me, you KNEW about this place before you rented it out to us?
DIMI-CHAN
Of course I did! Why'd you think I charged so little.
AKANE
You KNEW that we'd eventually start dropping off like flies?
DIMI-CHAN
Yep, I suspected that might happen.
AKANE
WHY YOU…YOU SADISTIC LITTLE…LITTLE BITCH!!!
DIMI-CHAN
AND PROUD OF IT!
AKANE
I'LL KILL YOU!!!
Ranma suddenly comes between them.
RANMA
Guys, I think that one murderer is enough, we don't need two!
DIMI-CHAN
Yeah, I'm sure that Freddy is perfectly capable of systematically killing us ALL off one at a time!
AKANE
He'll kill you too! In fact, I'm hoping that YOU ARE the next one he kills!!
DIMI-CHAN
Hey, I'm rooting for him, at the very least I'll be the last one he kills…boy that'll be fun.
AKANE
You actually WANT to the get killed?!
DIMI-CHAN
Hey, if you've gotta go, at least Freddy let's you go with style!
AKANE
She's a maniac!
DIMI-CHAN
I'm proud of that too, by the way.
RANMA
So you're finally convinced that this guy's real, Akane?
AKANE
All I'm certain about is that whoever or whatever killed my sister was real! Hell, I'd even bet it was this bitch over here that did it!
DIMI-CHAN
Nah…it's no fun if you have to do all the work yourself. I'm way too lazy.
Juton comes back down the stairs.
JUTON
Okay, what is this all about?
AKANE
Your fiancé is somehow connected with my sister's murder!
JUTON
Dilim, why do you ALWAYS pull shit like this?!
DIMI-CHAN
Uh oh, he's calling me by my actual name, he must be pissed…
JUTON
First it was Tenchi and his girlfriends at Camp Crystal Lake, then it was Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Misato and their friends and stuff in Haddonfield. Then you had those kids from the Hinata house go into that weird-shaped spacecraft with the weird eggs, and then you go and do this! WHEN IS IT GONNA STOP?!!!
DIMI-CHAN
You forgot about that time when I took the Sailor Scouts to Silent Hill and those guys with the big muscles and weird hairdos to a top-secret lab owned by Umbrella!
JUTON
That's what I'm talking about! You take people and put them into deadly situations for your own amusement!
D-CHAN
Why shouldn't I?!
JUTON
Because you just can't!
D-CHAN
Elaborate!
RANMA
Could you please stop arguing for a second, I'm trying to think of a plan.
Kasumi walks in.
KASUMI
Didn't you say that Freddy was with Kuno in your dream?
RANMA
Yeah, but who cares about him?
AKANE
I…kind of care.
Ranma's jaw drops.
AKANE (CONT'D)
He might be a baka, but he's still a human being.
RANMA
Well, in my dream we were in some kind of art museum.
D-CHAN
The Springwood Art Museum. I can drive you guys there.
JUTON
No, I'll drive.
EXT. SPRINGWOOD ART MUSEUM -- A WHILE LATER
A bunch of people are gathered around something at the front of the museum. Ranma, Akane, Kasumi, Dimi-Chan, and Juton push their way through the crowd to see what everyone's staring at.
AKANE
What the-?!
RANMA
HOLY SHIT!
JUTON
Oh gawd!
KASUMI
OH MY!
D-CHAN
AWESOME!!
Kuno has been made into the human centerpiece of a fountain…a BLOOD FOUNTAIN!!
Leaking out it his headless neck squirts blood in four different directions, like a normal fountain, only really gross.
Dimi-Chan starts dancing in the fountain, completely oblivious to the fact that she's getting soaked with blood.
RANMA
And she's STILL your fiancé?
JUTON
Trust me, beneath that psychotic exterior (starts getting dreamy) there's a girl that I love more than the world.
RANMA
(not entirely convinced, despite Juton's obvious sincerity) Ooooooookkaaaaaaayyyyy… Akane: Even Kuno didn't deserve something like this…
UKYO
(from off-camera) What are you guys doing in SpringwhaaaaaaaaAAAATTTT DA FUCK?!!
She obviously just noticed the Kuno fountain.
AKANE
We're on our honeymoon.
UKYO
HONEYMOON?! (A moment) Oh, that's right, you guys just got married…uh, how was the wedding night?
RANMA
Delayed…until we're more comfortable with…with…well, you know?
UKYO
And here I was all depressed think that you two were probably going at it like rabbits.
AKANE
UKYO!
RANMA
(Ignoring the comment) So why're YOU here?
UKYO
Trying to make a business deal, didn't work out. I'm heading back to Japan tomorrow morning.
RANMA
Maybe we should be doing the same. First we found Nabiki is the bathtub, having apparently drowned in her own blood, then of course, this (indicates the fountain, which Dimi-Chan is still dancing around in). Some guy named Freddy Krueger who kills people in their dreams.
UKYO
And who's that weird girl?
JUTON
My fiancé, Dimi-Chan. She can be a little eccentric at times, but I still love her.
UKYO
A LITTLE?!
RANMA
Are there still tickets for the flight you're taking?
UKYO
Yeah, sure, I think so… Ranma: Hey, Juton, could you drive us to the airport?
JUTON
Sure…Dimi-Chan?
Dimi-Chan stops reluctantly.
JUTON (CONT'D)
It's time to go!
DIMI-CHAN
(now completely drenched in blood) AWWWWWWW!!!
EXT. 1428 ELM STREET -- LATE AFTERNOON
The group is heading back toward the house.
RANMA
Why the hell do you want to go with us back to Japan, anyway?
DIMI-CHAN
Because we have been back there in awhile!
JUTON
It's only been about a year.
DIMI-CHAN
A year is way too long!
She's still covered in blood.
JUTON
Hey, can Dimi-Chan take a bath here? The one at our place is broken.
D-CHAN
Why do you even ask, we own the fuckin' place!
JUTON
Out of courtesy.
DIMI-CHAN
Fuck courtesy!
She runs into the house just as Akane answers.
AKANE
Yeah, sure…
Juton just shrugs and heads inside.
Ukyo follows, then Kasumi, and finally Ranma, who is stopped by Akane.
AKANE (CONT'D)
Ranma, I think I'll be turning in early today.
RANMA
It's only about four o'clock in the afternoon…
AKANE
It's been a long day.
RANMA
But Freddy-
AKANE
MY FUCKING SISTER DIED!
She starts crying.
RANMA
You've held it in this long? You are such a tomboy!
AKANE
Fuck you, Ranma!
She runs off upstairs.
RANMA
(to himself) Ranma, you baka!
JUTON
Strangely, that's the most intelligent thing you've said.
INT. RANMA AND AKANE'S BEDROOM -- ONLY MOMENTS LATER
Akane's lying on the bed and still crying.
There's a knock on the door.
AKANE
Leave me alone, Ranma!
There is no reply. Except after a few moments, another knock.
AKANE (CONT'D)
Ranma, I said-
Suddenly, the door explodes open, and standing behind it is Freddy Krueger!
AKANE (CONT'D)
You again?! What the fuck do you want?!
FREDDY
Not much, just your soul, and to watch you suffering before you die-that's always fun too!! Ahahahahahhaha!!!
Suddenly, Freddy grows tentacles that fling out towards Akane and start ripping her clothes off.
Akane screams.
INT. LIVING ROOM -- AT THE SAME MOMENT
Hearing the scream, Ranma runs upstairs.
INT. UPSTAIRS HALLWAY
Akane's door is locked, so he kicks it open on his first try.
INT. RANMA AND AKANE'S BEDROOM
Ranma finds Akane hovering over the bed, with all her clothes ripped off except for her underwear.
Akane's eyes are closed, she's obviously asleep.
AKANE
NO! PLEASE STOP! DON'T-!
RANMA
You mutherfucking bastard! Put my wife the hell down!
In response, Akane's bra comes off.
Ranma's eyes bug for a second, but then his eyes close and he enters a state of deep relaxation.
FREDDY
About time you showed up for the party!
His…no, wait-HER eyes open!!
Ranma-Chan is suddenly grabbed by more tentacles.
R-CHAN
Dammit! I'm a guy!
FREDDY
(as the tentacles rip off Ranma-Chan's shirt) Oh, but you are! At least in all the right places!! Ahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
R-CHAN
Dammit, I WON'T-
Ranma-Chan starts to glow with ki energy.
R-CHAN (CONT'D)
LET YOU-
Freddy's expression dims slightly.
R-CHAN (CONT'D)
DO THIS TO ME!!
She's glowing intensely now.
R-CHAN (CONT'D)
AND THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL I'M GONNA LET YOU DO IT TO MY WIFE EITHER!
With incredible strength, Ranma-Chan breaks free of the tentacles, destroying them badly enough that they also let go of Akane.
FREDDY
You?! No, it can't be-it's impossible, unless… Ranma-Chan grabs Akane's body, which has passed out in fear and shock.
R-CHAN
(to Freddy) I'll take care of YOU later!
Ranma snaps out of her trance, and notices #1-it's raining, and #2-The house has a leaky roof.
Akane starts to wake up. As soon as she notices she's mostly unclothed, she instinctively mallets Ranma-Chan.
Akane then remembers the dream…no, the terrible, terrible nightmare!
AKANE
Oh Ranma, I'm sorry!!
Ranma-Chan looks at her blankly, and Akane realizes she needs to put on some new clothes.
AKANE (CONT'D)
R-Ranma?
R-CHAN
A-Akane?
AKANE
C-c-Could you leave for a second?
R-CHAN
I need a shirt.
Akane throws one at her.
R-CHAN (CONT'D)
I meant a gender-neutral one!
AKANE
You can look for a different one after I'm finished changing, just LEAVE!
Ranma-Chan reluctantly puts on the shirt and heads out the knocked-down door, carefully putting it back up into place.
Back inside the room, Akane sighs, but stops for a moment, again remembering the nightmare. There's a flash of lightning followed shortly by a clap of thunder, which causes Akane to change her mind.
AKANE (CONT'D)
Ranma, you still there?
R-CHAN
Yeah?
AKANE
Could you come back in and just…uh…have your back to me?
R-CHAN
Why?
AKANE
I-I'm just kinda…kinda scared, y'know?
R-CHAN
Alright, just don't hit me with a mallet if you just suspect I might be peaking.
AKANE
Al-alright.
Ranma-Chan steps back inside, moving the door aside, then once again back into place. She tries her best to avoid looking at Akane.
AKANE (CONT'D)
(as she starts changing) Ht-Thank you, Ranma.
R-CHAN
No problem. (After a moment) Do you believe in this Krueger guy now?
AKANE
I didn't tell you before, but I also had nightmares about him…I-it seemed so strange that I didn't want to believe it was true. Even though I somehow knew deep inside that it was.
R-CHAN
All the crazy things we've gone through and you still couldn't believe in this guy?
AKANE
None of those things were quite as frightening.
R-CHAN
Why weren't they?
AKANE
Be-because I always knew you'd be there to protect me…in those nightmares…I felt-so alone…like no one could help me, not even you.
R-CHAN
Well, I proved that wrong, I just went and saved you from him.
AKANE
(finishing up her dressing) Yeah, I guess that might by why I'm sure it's real now, since I know you can defend me against it (giggles nervously). You can turn around now, Ranma.
R-CHAN
Okay.
AKANE
So what do we do now?
R-CHAN
First we fix that leak, then we get some warm water, then we have to try figuring out if there's some kind of connection between Freddy and my girl-form.
To be continued…
