Unnamed Baki Next gen au. part 1

The main character is Tomoe Hanma

she's Baki and Kozue's daughter, Obviously considering her name and the kind of au this is.

She would probably start the 'series' at around 12-14, and sheltered from the fighting world by her parents. as far as she knows initially is that her father was an amateur martial artist who didn't get to go professional since her mom thought it'd be dangerous.

she knows of her grandfather to a degree, Mostly that her mother doesn't like him very much, While her dad's relationship with him is very comploicated, She's a clever enough girl to realize it was abusive but not to what extent.

Eventually Yujirou comes for a surprise visit for her birthday. And initially seems to be a /mostly/ normal grandfather, Sure he lacks social graces, and he gets really intense about things,, And he speaks like a character from her favorite fighting manga But he's not scary in the slightest.

Baki and Kozue decide to humor Yujiro, and the day goes on as normal, Until Tomoe overhears her father and grandfather talking. "Ya know baki, I was real dissapointed when i heard your woman gave birth to a girl, Even more so when the idiot doctors she trusted so much more or less made her infertile. " Yujiro spoke, Making Tomoe's heart sink a little, Was she a disappointment?"But, She's still my blood, And yours too... I shouldn't be disappointment in her lack of potential, Because as a hanma it's certainly there, But i am pretty pissed at you for not helping her to bring it out."

"c'mon dad, " Her own father starts to speak "It's not like she has to follow the same path we did, She's just a kid. If she wants to pick up fighting she'll do it on her own time, When she's an adult." Tomoe listened intently. "I'm not interested in being the strongest in the world, And i don't need my child to be either. She's Tomoe hanma and she's her own person."

Yujiro leaves it alone at that, The conversation shifts to more normal family stuff, Almost as if they knew she was listening in... \

Later on, When its time to open gifts, Yujiro steps forward with a pair of tickets. "Here kid" Yujiro says with a smirk that would almost be mistaken as dangerous if he weren't her granpa "Two tickets to Androv Dade's title defense match,Tonite at 7:30"

Kozue has none of it, She looks ready to throw hands with her father in law then and there. Fighting is dangerous, And barbaric, she's not letting her kid see such things...

Baki puts his hand on her shoulder comfortingly. "Aw, C'mon now, It's not like she'd be getting in the ring. It's juist a way for her to spend time with her grandpa, Nothing more." Though Tomoe can hear some distrusting tension in her father's voice, The subject is left alone for the time being.

Later that night, Yujiro and Tomoe go to the Tokyo dome to watch the fight. And Androv Dade winds up winning the match very quickly.

The arrogant romanian begins taunting the crowd, Saying he has pleanty of gas in the tank and he'd take on any man there. Taking that as an invitation, Yujiro steps into the ring.

"Is this really the world's greatest welterweight? Even the world class punching bags of my day had more talent in their left pinky than you've got! A little girl without a day of training in her life could take you out!"

Dade questions who Yujiro is to say such things, Only for the old, but No less powerfully built man to reveal the dreaded demon back, Flexing hard enough for his shirt to disintegrate. "They used to call me the ogre, When i was a young man. You should be honored to even be standing here with me... I can see the excitement in your eyes. But i'm not the one challenging you. "

He leaps back to the stands, and with ease picked up Tomoe with his hands on her shoulders. "Meet my granddaughter! "

Unnamed Baki Next gen au part 2

Tomoe stood in the ring, On live television, as her grandpa jumped behind a corner post with a sense of supreme confidence, She wandered if her parents were watching? Maybe if they were they'd rush here and save her.

Androv looked annoyed "A little girl? Really? I know about your legacy, Yujiro Hanma, But even is this little broad is your granddaughter, There's no way in your right mind you think she could really beat me."

Yujiro laughed. "No hold barred, Go wild with her, She'll shut you up in no time." The older man said with a wicked, evil smile. Tomoe began to get why her parents kept their distance from this guy, He was nuts!, Thankfully Androv looked dissinterested... Until

"Oh! And if you do manage to beat her, You'll get to fight the ogre live on camera. Win or lose your name will finally be worth a damn." Yujiro said with a glint of bloodlust in his eye.

Androv was quick to accept those terms, In the years since the ogre's retirement many wandered if this legend of an unstoppable man, Who outgunned any warrior, Any weapon, Any nation at all was really all it was cracked up to be,

Even if it was, He would be known as the last man the ogre ever fought, That was his mindset. And so, he told the ref to ring the bell.

It took Yujiro's insistance for him to do it though. Despite his granddaughter's protests. "Heh! Sorry kid! Consider this a lesson in tough love!"

Tomoe turned to face the man , She saw him fight, She watched him... A guy two and a half times her size knock out a guy three times her size, What hope did she, An untrained girl who was twelve pounds overweight for her age and height have against him?

before she knew it, The bell was rung, She was prepared to eat the glove of a man who punched faster than she could even see, A fight between her and a guy like this would be like trying to compare a little league amateur's limp wristed knuckleball to the fast ball of an MLB pro.

and yet, Now that she was on the other side of those punches... Though she knew every ounce of how much power they had, They appeared to be no faster than the sluggish throws of a little leaguer

she was able to dodge them effectively, Seeing them coming from a mile away, She couldn't explain it at all, Not even to herself.

Meanwhile, At her home, Kozue and baki had indeed been watching the fight, Just to make sure Yujiro wouldn't try anything rash, If he did, it was baki's plan to use his cockroach dash to quickly reach the stadium... But before he had fully gotten his shoes on to do such a thing, He caught a glimpse of his daughter dodging like an expert, despite having never thrown or received anything more severe than a slap on the wrists.

Kozue meanwhile was gripping her knees with a strength rivaling that of Kaoru hanayama himself. on the border of frothing at the mouth. At her father in law for putting his daughter in danger, And at the kick boxer for giving into the ogre's psychotic demands so easily... All for a shot of fame he already had!

back in the ring, Dade is very quickly getting tired from being dodged so easily. and Tomoe had what felt like a couple hours to study his moves , despite only being at this for about a minute and a half...

"Kid!" Yujiro spoke up. "Fight back now! " The ogre spoke with a proud smile in his voice.

Tomoe gulped her nervousness down, and took to mimicking his footwork, Keeping his punching form in mind, She dodged another blow, and went in with a left straight

Dade's jaw was stricken, Dead on. His brain rattled as Tomoe, with her meak teenage body mimicked a kick she saw him use, Getting him square in the shoulder and knocking him off balance for the finishing blow. Using the momentum from his falling to the left, She smacked his jaw again wiith a right hook knocking him unconcious. Even with her lack of raw strength.

by the time this match finished, Baki had arrived. With the speed of a bullet train and his coordinated body it was really no effort.

"tomoe, Are you alright? are you hurt? " Those were baki's first words, Until she confirmed that Androv didn't land a single blow. This brought her father relief, until he turned to Yujiro.

"And you! i let you give her those tickets because it was an opportunity to bond like a normal grandpa would with his granddaughter. this wasn't supposed to happen at all! I should be taking you into this ring!"

"Baki..." Yujiro starts. "You said that if she wanted to get into fighting, she could do it as an adult right? well... How the hell can she make that decision uninformed!?"That caught baki's attention.

Yujiro, Seeing that, smirked. "As her old man, you have final say on how to raise Tomoe! I acknowledge that. But giving her a taste of the possibilities! The potential she has! Isn't that the greatest gift anyone could give their grandchild?"

Baki would tense up for a moment, Making Tomoe nervous, She didn't want her family getting into an altercation on her behalf, Even if her grandfather really was insane.

and then, Though she didn't want ot admit it, Given her mother's concern about this sort of thing... There was a satisfaction in winning, She held the lowest scores in PE, She couldn't pitch a ball, Or run, or sink a basket, Or even bend down and touch her toes with straight legs.

She was bad in math, history, Science. An unintelligent, Unmotivated, Average middle school girl, But she had an instinct for this.

"Papa... Don't get made and grampa. please." she took her father's hand. "I... I was scared having to fight an adult, But once it started i felt at ease. for the first time."

"The first time?" Asked baki, not understanding what she meant.

Tomoe nodded, And explained. "I can't talk to people, Im bad at everything i try, For so long i felt like i had nothing going for me at all, But i just beat a pro fighter! The kind of person who trained his whole life for this! And i beat him in just three hits! I'm not even that strong!"

Baki looked at androv, Still knocked out, Before he looked at his girl."Listen, You got lucky, Your brain was firing off at all cylinders just to keep you alive and safe. and the adrenaline flowing in your brain gave you more strength and flexibility than you really have on your own... "

"I... I really want to see where i can go with this! Not because you and mom said no, Or because grandpa wants me to do it! If i can be good at something... Just one single thing I don't care what it is, i want to see it through!"

with a speach like that, Baki's gaze softened. "Alright, We'll talk it over with your mom."
