New Advanture, new Chaos Chapter 1. It was late in the evening and Ranma was riding the train to somewhere. He looked tired and his face was that of a man depressed. It seems that he had another fight with all his rivals and fiancess again. He thought it would get better after the Saffron incident, he thought it would get better after the wedding attempt. It did for a while, but not for long. His relationship with Akane had improved a little, she didn't hit him as much or argue with him after the wedding attempt. He took to walking or running by her side instead of running along the fence. For a while, his rivals and fiancess left him alone as well, except for Kunos, but that was to be expected. What else can you expect from pair of crazy people. However, after about 3 month later things started to pick up again. Shampoo started to come after him again. It seems she thought 3 month was enough time to let him know that she was sorry for what she did and that he would have either forgiven her or forgotten about the whole thing. When Shampoo started up again, it seems Ukyou thought that it was ok too, that it was fair game again. So, with Shampoo and Ukyou came Moouse and Cologne. Alone with them, Akane's temper returned as well, although not as bad as before, it still returned. She didn't hit him as hard or as far away now, but she still jumped to conclusions and she still didn't hear him out. She still blamed him for most of things. With that Ranma started to see back to the past couple of months. He had graduated from high school, and at their graduation day, Ukyou gave him a hug and a kiss that made Akane angry, and Shampoo dropped by, tearing him away from Ukyou and doing the same to him that Ukyou just did. That made Akane angrier. Then Moouse came by with chain and stuff to attack him for once again trying to take his Shampoo from him. Then came Ryoga whom he thought was happy with Akari, saw how Shampoo had glomped onto him, started to attack him as well. All this didn't hurt him as much, he was used to it and ever since Saffron incident, he had gotten much more powerful, and he was training in secret to increase his power more, just in case something like that happened again and he didn't wanted to cut so close next time. He mastered the breaking point technique, increased his speed with the chest nut technique, and trained really hard to produce both cold and hot aura so that he may create the Hiryu Shouten Ha by himself. By doing that, he came up with added bonus of coming up with his own versions of the techniques. He also took what was rightfully his, actually he didn't take it his mother gave it to him. His mother gave him the copies of the Saotome forbidden techniques and he started to train in them, learned them and improve upon them. It was almost scary how powerful the forbidden techniques were, but he could see the practicality of certain techniques. So, he was ready to defend himself from combine attacks of Moouse, Ryoga, and from his two unwanted fiancess Shampoo and Ukyou when Akane started in on him. She blamed him for ruining her graduation and that it wasn't for him all the craziness in her life would have never happened. What she had said hurt him far more then anything his rivals and fiancess could have done to him. It seem like they were getting closer at certain points, but of course things happened that made them back track. However, he thought that they were getting closer and that back tracking didn't happen as much anymore. Ranma looked at Akane's tear filled eyes, and knew that she was hurt, and he caused that hurt. He was the reason for those tear filled eyes, and the hurt that he saw inside those eyes. He made up his mind there and then that the would make it all better. After graduation he tried couple more time to be nicer to Akane and to make thing better, but every time something seem like it was going right, it was going perfect, things will happen that will ruin it and he will see that hurt in her eyes again. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, the hurt in her eyes that he decided to leave. She did say that if he wasn't there then none of the craziness in her life would have ever happened and that she will have peaceful life. He decided to give her what she wanted, to give her the peaceful life, the life she always wanted, which would only be possible without him in her life. So, here he was, catching the last train out of Nerima to where ever the train was heading. He figured that if he planned where he was going a head of time, he would have made some kind of mistake and others would find out where he was and he didn't want anybody finding him again. If someone from his past found him, then it would make Akane come for him again and that will ruin her peaceful life. Giving her a peaceful life, life without him was the least thing he could do for the girl. Ranma looked outside where darkness had covered the land, and sighed again. Thinking about the cute girl with short blue/black hair and her smile, which he will always remember. Nerima... Tendo Dojo was in utter chaos. The reason being that they found out Ranma was missing. Akane went to Ranma's room to talk to him about something, which was now all forgotten, only to find his room empty with single note. With panic in her heart she read the note and finally let out with anguished filled scream which let the family know that something was wrong and came to her side only to find the same thing Akane did. Couple hours has passed and now they all started to do what people would have expected one Tendo family would do. Soun was crying, Genma was saying what worthless son he had, Kasumi went out trying to calm her father, Nabiki already on the phone trying to find Ranma and making him pay for once again throwing her house into chaos. Akane was trying to get angry at Ranma for doing this to her, but she couldn't. After reading the note and what it said, she could not get mad at Ranma, but felt sad at not seeing it sooner. The note, which was rather simple and short said that he was leaving, and he was leaving to give Akane what she always wanted, peaceful life without him in it. That made her think, she didn't know why she didn't see it before, of course every time something happened, she blamed it on Ranma, but she regretted right after. She just never managed to find the courage to apolozie to him. She also recalled past couple of months, how he had acted differently, actually how he had acted differently ever since the Saffron incident. "I was so blind" She wanted to say sorry to Ranma and that she didn't want life without him in it, that should couldn't really imagine life without him in it, but it seem like it was too late, and she would actually have to face that life. Only hope she had now was that Ranma might come back, or Nabiki finding him. She didn't put much fate in Ranma coming back, she knew, once he made up his mind, he didn't change it that easy, so all her hopes were resting upon Nabiki, who was already making phone calls. "Ranma no Baka" Elsewhere... "I love it! I love this feeling! I love it when mortals are depressed! I love when mortals feel so helpless, so weak, so sad!" It was said by a man sitting on a dark throne in a dark place. As we see, the man was rather nicely dressed, only if the dress was in any other color but black. Actually it seem that the outfit was black only because the outfit itself seems to eat up all other color around it. "I must find out who is causing such darkness in mortal realm and "reward" him! Mara!" "Yes boss?" "Find the source of this delicious feelings from mortal world and bring whoever is responsible to me!" "But, what about my assignment to the mortal Morisato Keiichi?" "That will have to be on hold! If all works out, then we will have gained a new ranks among us!" "Yeah yeah" "YOU WILL OBEY!" "Of course boss" With that Mara disappeared to go seek her new assignment, but not all that happy about it. She still had an interest in Keiichi and Belldandy and she wasn't about to throw that in the back burner just so she can do this new thing. Oh no, she was Mara and she will do this her way. Of course the man knew that Mara will do something and decided to take pre-caution. "Karou!" When the man called the name, a woman who was dressed in all black kimono appeared. It might seem tame for a demoness to be wearing a kimono, but once you take a closer look, you could tell that the kimono was made of black leather. "Yes boss?" "I want you to go and follow up with this new project that I have given Mara" "Why?" "I believe that she is too into her current project, which I told her to be put on hold to focus on the new project" "Of course boss" With that Karou dissappeared as well. When Karou was out of sight, the man allowed himself to smile, but only a brief smile. Elsewhere... "My Lord, it seems there are unusual activities in the mortal realm" "I know" "My Lord, what will you do about it?" "I will do nothing" "My Lord?" "I have giving all my children freedom to chose, and it seem one of my mortal children will finally get to use that choice of freedom and not have one forced upon him. I will not interfere" "Of course my Lord" "Besides, my three daughters will see to it that he won't come to too much harm" "What do you mean?" "All will come to light when the time comes" "Yes, my Lord" Train Station... Ranma got off of the train at the last destination. The train wasn't going any further then this place so he had to get off. Ranma started to just wonder around, catching the signs welcoming him to Nekomi or some place like that. He started to walk around, not noticing much around him. Things were not all that impressive in this new place. "I'll have to find a place to stay first, then get a job or something" With that Ranma started to head for a direction with signs saying hotels and inns when he heard a faint scream. "What the?" Ranma started to pay attention to his surrounding and he heard some kind of struggle. He decided to check it out, it was after all a martial artist's duty to protect those who can protect themselves. When Ranma go to the place, what he was made him angry. There was about 4 guys ganging up on one girl. The girl had short brown hair and was on the ground with two guys holding her arms down from each side, and other one held his hand over her mouth. One standing had a knife out and he slowly got down and started to cut the girl's clothes with the knife. Ranma saw enough, they were going to hurt the girl and it was obvious that they needed to be taught a lesson. Ranma jumped down from his place on the roof of the building, and quickly and efficiently knocked the man with a knife out. Ranma didn't bother with speeches or any of those "Hold it right there!" stuff. He was always more action-oriented type after all. After the first guy had been knocked out, the rest of them looked up only to see what looked to be an angry guy with some kind of flame surrounding him. For the three guys, that was the last thing they saw before uncounciousness took them. Ranma, after knocking the first guy out, look to the rest of them, and with blinding speed, knocked the rest of them out with same efficiency as the first one. After job well done, he look to the girl on the ground, who by now was looking at him with what seems like fear, wonder, and little bit of curiosity. "Hey, you ok?" "What?" "Are you ok" "Oh....yeah...I think so" "Did they cut you anywhere?" "No..." It seems that the girl was still little to shaken up so that she wasn't talking much. It wasn't everyday that she got jumped by 4 guys after all. Ranma kept looking down to the girl with worried look on his face. Morisato Megumi was having one of the worst days of her life. First of all, she had gotten a C on a paper she turned in, which she was sure she was going to get an A. Then, she took the wrong bus and was dropped off near the train station, then she realized that she didn't have enough money to get back to her apartment where she lived, so she went to make a phone call on the pay phone near a inn when she was grabbed by 4 men. She knew what was about to happen to her, as they were dragging her to the dark alley, still she struggled and made much noise as she could, with a faint hope that someone would come to rescue her. As she was held down and one of the men were about to cut her clothes with a knife, miracle happened. She was rescued by someone... something. It could have been a man, but it was light on some kind of fire and moved so fast, she had trouble seeing it. However, when it stopped to look at her and talk to her, she saw for the first time, that it was most definitely a man. He could have been about her age or little bit older, but with poor lighting, she couldn't see much else, except that he had the most beautiful blue eyes that she had ever seen. Then she realized that they were talking, actually he was asking her questions and that she wasn't making much sense. She decided to introduce herself to him, although still shaken up by the event, she couldn't be rude to the person that just saved her from these thugs. Ranma was about to go pick her up and take her to the nearest hospital when the girl just got up. "Hi! My name is Morisato Megumi! Thank you for saving me!" Ranma was little taken back by the unexpected introduction but he didn't think much of it. Obviously she wasn't hurt all that much, and things like that happen to him and his friends all the time, being attacked and stuff. "Uh...yeah, hi. My name is Saotome Ranma. It was no problem. So, you are ok?" "Well...not really, but thanks to you, nothing serious happened!" "Yeah, no problem. Well, if you are ok, then I guess I'll have to find a place to stay" That little bit of information gave Megumi all she needed. "You don't have place to stay?" "Well, not really. I just got here and I don't know anybody or anywhere for that matter" "Then you can stay at my place for the night" "What?" "I insist! It's already late and you said it yourself that you don't know anybody else!" "But..." "No buts! It's the least thing I can do for someone who saved me!" "but!" "I said no buts!" With that Megumi grabbed him by the arm and started to drag him out of the dark alley where there were better lighting. What she saw brought bigger smile to her face. Megumi liked what she saw. Ranma was certainly cute, and rest of his face match the blue eyes that she saw. And he had this incredible cute bewildered expression on his face. Ranma didn't know what to do. Here was total stranger, whom he just saved from bunch of thugs, dragging him to her place. Ranma realized that this was not good. He just got out of one girl's life only to get involved with another girl's life. Ranma was about to voice his mind when Megumi stopped and looked really sheepish. "Oh no! I forgot that I didn't have enough money to get home and was trying to make a phone call in the first place! Can you wait here for a minute? I'll go make a quick phone call!" With that Megumi dashed away leaving him there without him able to tell her that he should go. "Oh man, what am I getting myself into!" It didn't take long for Megumi to make her phone call and come back. Ranma was ready to tell her that he should go when Megumi just started to talk again. "Sorry for making you wait so long. My brother should be coming by with his bike soon to pick us up. Oh and he drives a bike with a side car so we'll have to share the side car" Ranma didn't know what was going on, he didn't wanted to be put into situation like this again, and he didn't know much about bikes and side cars and stuff. Ranma asked and as usual didn't get any answer back from whatever or whomever he was asking the question to. End Chapter 1. Authors note. This is only the first chapter, experimental chapter.

New Adventure, new Chaos Chapter 2. Morisato Keiichi was not a happy camper. It was late at night and he was riding his bike somewhere near the train station to pick up his sister. Of course he won't really mind the fact that his doing this for his little sister or the fact that she called so late asking him to pick her up. He was not happy for the fact that his little sister has the most incredible timing ever. He remember the first time she showed up. He accidentally fell on top of Belldandy and was about to make his first bold move ever, when she showed up interrupting the whole thing. Now, Belldandy and he were alone in the temple for the first time ever since the other goddesses showed up, Urd having gone to some kind of party and Skuld having gone to some kind of mecha convention, and what happens? His little sister manages to call and once again break the mood. Keiichi still didn't understand fully what his little sister said on the phone. She sounded really excited about something, and talked really fast about having no money and being needed to be picked up and something about a super hunk. Keiichi kept on driving until he finally found his sister, standing next to what looked to be a guy around her age. Ranma... Ranma was thinking to himself, while standing next to this girl, Morisato Megumi. He knew if he stayed and follow her to her place or whatever, there was going to be trouble. He could feel it in his bones. Over the years, he had developed some kind of sense telling him that something was going to happen and that sense was going crazy right now. Ranma asked himself that question again for what seem like the hundred times while standing here. He knew he should leave, but something seem to make him stay here. He thought that it might be that he wasn't going to leave a girl who was just attacked all by herself in the same neighborhood. Megumi was too buy thinking to herself to notice that Ranma seemed to be deep in thinking himself. Megumi had taken to studying this young man that's standing beside her. More she looked, the better he appear to be. He was tall, with lean and strong build and it seems not an extra ounce of fat could be found anywhere on him. And he still had the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen anywhere. Megumi was about to say something when she heard the distinct sound of her brother's bike. Ever since Skuld did something to it, she could tell her brother's bike anywhere. Ranma also noticed a bike approaching them, the bike seem to have something attached to the side and he realized that must be the side car that Megumi was talking about earlier. Soon, the bike stopped in front of them and rather short man got off of the bike and addressed Megumi. "Megumi, what are you doing here? Your apartment is nowhere near this area" "I know Keiichi" While brother and sister were talking, Ranma started to study this new guy with mild interest. He wasn't built all that strong and he didn't move with what he'll call martial artists grace. He was just an average guy that you'll run into in the street. "Oh, Keiichi, I want you to meet Ranma Saotome, he saved me from bunch of thugs!" "What?" "I got attacked by bunch of thugs, and if he didn't show up, I don't know what would have happened!" Keiichi was rather shocked to hear that. Something bad happening to one of the people he knew. Something that's not related to spiritual nature, he didn't even expect something like this to happen. Sure Keiichi had been attacked by spirits, demons, and actually had been possessed by a demon himself, and Megumi turn into a car and other such thing happened to her, but it was mostly all been taken care of by the goddesses, they were there to take care of it. However, this time, it wasn't spiritual in nature, but human being and he and the goddesses were totally unaware of it. He looked to the man standing next to Megumi and decided then and there that he owed a lot to this guy. He saved his little sister from a danger that he nor the goddesses were aware of. "Hi, my name is Morisato Keiichi and thank you for helping my little sister" "Hey, no problem. It's martial artists duty to help those who can't help themselves" "Keiichi, he doesn't have a place to stay and I thought..." That was as far as she got, she was about to suggest that Keiichi drop them off at her place when Keiichi interrupted. "You don't have a place to stay?" "Well, no, I just got here" "Then I insist that you come stay with me" "Huh?" That was said by both Ranma and Megumi. Ranma didn't know how to take that, and Megumi was rather unhappy at how things are turning out. "I insist, it's the least I can do after you saved my sister" "Um...well I don't want to impose or anything" "It's not a problem, I live in a temple and we have plenty of rooms" "Keiichi, I was thinking that Ranma come and stay with me" When Megumi said that Ranma started to think. "Well, if you insist then I guess I'll stay just for tonight, Keiichi" When Ranma said that, Megumi was not happy and she started to glare at her brother, who ruined a perfect opportunity. "Well, I only have my bike with me and the side car" "No problem, Ranma and I can share the side car!" "Well....I don't know that thing is pretty small" "I insist!" With that Megumi dragged Ranma to the sidecar, sat him down first then climbed in after him, sitting on his lap. Keiichi stare at her sister's behavior, shook his head then got on his bike started it, then drove it off. As soon as Keiichi was out of sight, out of the corner ally way, you could see a dark shape move out to the light. When the figure emerged, it was a female figure in a leather body outfit. "Hmmm....it looks like my assignments just merged with each other. This will make things much easier for me!" With that Mara went back into the dark ally and transported herself away. After Mara disappeared, another figure appeared. "Hmm....so that's the man that our boss is interested in.... quite handsome, for a mortal...this assignments just got interesting" With that Karou also faded out of the ally. Temple... Belldandy was preparing a tea and snack for Keiichi, he went to help out his sister and she was sure that he would appreciate her having a snack ready for him, when she felt something. She felt that something was coming and it gave her both feeling of happiness and sadness. Belldandy being the goddess of the present did not usually get premonition, that was her sister Skuld's department, but she was the goddess of present, and was naturally in touch with the universe and mother nature so she did get feelings. She was deep in thought when she heard Keiichi's bike arrive. "Oh, Keiichi's home...and it seems like he brought a guest" With that Belldandy made her way out to greet her Keiichi and the guest. Outside... "You live here?" Ranma was looking around the temple. It was really a temple, and it was pretty big place. "Well, yeah" "My brother lives here with his girlfriend and her sisters" "Welcome back Keiichi, nice to see you again Megumi, and Hello to you" "Oh, Belldandy, this is Ranma Saotome, he helped Megumi out, Ranma this is Belldandy" Ranma was looking at Belldandy with mixture of shock and interest. Soon as she came out of the house, he felt some kind of power. Now looking at her he felt peace radiating from her, and she reminded him so much of Kasumi. However, that wasn't what he was most interested in. What he was interested in was the pure power she was giving off. It was true, Belldandy even with her limiter on was giving off lot of power. She is goddess first class unlimited license and Saffron was only a demi-god. "Um....nice to meet you Belldandy, I'm Ranma" "Welcome to our house Ranma, won't you place come in?" With that Belldandy indicated that Ranma and other should go inside Ranma still little shocked at the power that Belldandy was radiating, went in without much noticing that he was walking. Elsewhere... "I have seen our target boss" "Oh?" "And he seems to be staying with Morisato Keiichi" "What?" "Last time I saw was him riding off in a bike with Keiichi and his little sister" "Hmm....somehow everything we do seems to tie in with him. It might because of the goddesses that are living with him" "What do you want me to do now boss?" "You will continue your current assignment, acquiring this mortal is first priority then Keiichi, do you understand me Mara?" "Sure boss" With that Mara faded out, only to be replaced by Karou. "What have you found out about this mortal?" "It seems you were right about him" "Oh?" "He is definitely someone that our side can use" "Explain" "It seems that his life has been surrounded by chaos, if we can turn that to our side, we will make up for when we lost Raijin and Fujin to the other side. Actually we might get the upper hand" "Hmm....anything else?" "Yes, this mortal is the same one that defeated Saffron 2 years ago" "What?!" "Yes, this mortal is the one that defeated Saffron, the demi-god" "Interesting....a mortal that can kill a demi-god.....We must have him on our side! Imagine what he can do with the power that I will grant him! He might even be our key to heaven's undoing!" "Of course boss" With that Karou faded out leaving the man thinking to himself of the glorious victory over the enemy. Elsewhere... "My Lord" "What is it?" "A mortal that killed Saffron has made contact with one of your daughters" "I know this" "My Lord, what should we do?" "We will do nothing" "My Lord, is that a wise decision?" "I have already decided" "Of course Lord" End of Chapter 2 I got lot of email telling me that I should continue this fic, so I am. Thank you to all those who sent me email saying I should.

New Adventure, new Chaos Chapter 3 Ranma even after making his way into the temple and being served tea by Belldandy was still in automatic mode. His mind trying to process the power that he was reading from this young woman named Belldandy that reminded him so much of Kasumi. Ranma was so deep in his thought that he completely missed the question that Megumi asked him about 4 times now. Megumi was not liking how this is turning out to be. First of all, she should have this totally hot hunk of a guy in her place by now, but her brother had to mess that up by inviting him to stay with him. Second, the moment Ranma saw Belldandy he froze up and now every minute he would take a glance at her and not pay attention to anything else around him. Megumi had enough of it and she poked Ranma's side and was surprised that she could not poke him hard at all. His side, through years of martial arts training as well as fights and hits that he took was hard as a rock. Now Megumi was off in a dreamland thinking about Ranma. Ranma on the other hand didn't even feel that little poke to his side by Megumi and was still looking at Belldandy who was talking with Keiichi. Ranma was asking all these questions when he felt another power another presence near that was almost as powerful as Belldandy's and similar to it, except there was slight dark tint to it. "Hey kids! Are you having a party without me?" In came in Urd, goddess second class limited, however far more destructive then Belldandy when she wants to be, who is also half demon herself. Urd came in, then saw Ranma, and at the same time Ranma looked and saw Urd. "Hey, who is this guy?" Urd took instant interest at Ranma. He seem like an interesting guy, lean built but muscles in all the right places without ounce of fat to be seen anywhere. This guy sitting in the room might actually be better built then the Greek god Adonis. Ranma looked at Urd and decided that he should stay away from her. He reminded him of Shampoo, Ukyou, and about two dozen fianc?es all at once and that's not good. She projected enough sexuality to solve all the impotent problem in the continent of Asia. "Oh, Urd, welcome back. This is Ranma Saotome and he will be staying with us for a while, isn't that nice?" Of course, that was Belldandy, being nice and kind person or goddess that she is. When Belldandy said while, Ranma had to look back at Belldandy. "Wait! I only said..." That was as far as Ranma got before another voice spoke up. "I'm back! Keiichi! You didn't do anything perverted to my sister while I was away did you!" It was the little goddess Skuld. Goddess second class limited and who has recently beginning to develop magical powers. When Skuld stepped in, she looked at the room and saw what could only be described as utter chaos. She had her special working classes on and she saw the room filled with bug eggs. "What's going on here! Why are there so many bug eggs!" "Bug eggs?" Question asked by 4 people, one still in dream land. "I don't believe this, there are so many of them! We have to get rid of them now before they hatch! It's not often we get to find bug eggs, they usually hatch so quickly you won't be able to find them" "That's strange, are you sure there are bug eggs?" "Yeah, I still got my special glasses on" Urd and Belldandy looked at each other and thought the situation strange. Bugs usually procreate very fast, and their eggs hatch so quickly it might as well not even bother with egg stage. It was rare that they actually see a bug egg, and only time they actually saw one was when Kami-Sama showed it to them in it's frozen stage. Urd and Belldandy took out their glasses that they had when Skuld first showed up and put it on, only to find the same thing that Skuld did. During all this time, Keiichi was looking like he was going to be sick and depressed at the same time. He remember well what happened last time the house was filled with bugs. He turned into 2 dimensional being, and almost sent away to another dimension, got trapped under the 6 legged horse, and was dropped on top of Urd when she was bathing... There were more incidents but he didn't wanted to remember and he was in no mood for a replay of those incidents or worse. Belldandy, Keiichi, Urd, and Skuld, all in their hurry and depression, completely forgot about Ranma and started to do their debugging job, except it was much easier. All they had to do was destroy the egg. Ranma was looking around like all the people in the temple has all of a sudden gone crazy. They seem like they were perfectly normal people, but now they put on some funny looking glass and was banging on the ground with what looked like miniature version of that mallet that Akane used to use on him. "Umm...what's going on here?" When Ranma spoke up, the four of them all turned to look at him as one and knew that they made a mistake. "Umm...Ranma, this is not what it looks like" Keiichi started to try to come up with some kind of excuse for what they were doing without giving away their secret. "So, this is not the four of you guys wearing some strange glasses and carrying some dumb mallet hitting the empty ground?" "Well..." That is as far as Keiichi got before angry little Skuld got in Ranma's face. "Hey! How dare you call my inventions strange and dumb!" "Huh? Keiichi who is this kid?" There are couple of things that you should never say or do in front of Skuld and Ranma just did exactly those. He insulted her invention, and he called her a kid... "Did you just call me kid?" "Yeah" "I thought so" With that she calmly reached into her inside pocket and pulled out what look to be a metal ball with wires. "Neo-Skuld bomb!" Skuld tossed it to Ranma. She wanted to try this new model out for a while. It was made specially to be used indoors and not like the ones that she uses outside. Ranma saw the kid throw something at him and he knew it wasn't anything good. He lived with Happosai enough to know that, the round object that she just threw at him was some kind of a bomb. Without even thinking, he reacted as soon as the bomb was out of the girl's hand. As the bomb was out of the girl's hand, he moved in and kicked it out of the house in the direction which he knew to be the yard. 'BOOOM' That explosion shook Skuld out of her staring at Ranma, as well as everybody else. No one has ever done that before, knock Skuld's bomb aside. There had been couple that has taken it, but never knock it aside. "Hey! What was that! You weren't suppose to do that!" "What?" "You were suppose to just take it!" "You wanted me to get blasted by that thing?" "Yes!" "Keiichi, your little kid sister needs some serious help" When Skuld heard that, she couldn't take it anymore. This new guy called her a kid again, insulted her new Neo-Skuld Bomb by knocking it aside and called her little sister of Keiichi. "Why you! YOU STUPID!!!" With that, Ranma received an attack that even he was not prepared for. Ranma felt some kind of power, then it was all over. He had Stupid printed on his face, his shirt and even on his pants. He was in lost for words. He had never seen anything like it before in his life. "Hey, kid is improving, she even got his pants" Urd said to Belldandy who was just looking at Skuld with worry as well as all those unbroken eggs that were still laying around. "Skuld, you shouldn't have done that. Ranma is a guest" "I don't care, no one bad mouth my invention and calls me a kid and gets away with it!" "Skuld!" Belldandy didn't raise her voice often, but she does when it's necessary. And when Belldandy raised her voice, people listen. It didn't matter if you were a guy or a girl, god or a goddess, you listen and that was that. Skuld looked down with embarrassment, and Belldandy decided to continue. "Skuld, you can't always have things your way and you won't always meet nice people. There are some people who will do things that you won't like, but that doesn't mean that you can lash out at them. Now, what Ranma did was not that bad, and you should apologize to him" "Yes sis..." With that, Skuld looked up to see that Ranma was still completely dumb founded by what happened to him that he was just standing there. Urd seeing that Ranma was in no responsive mode, went up to him to try to shake him up a little, trying to get some kind of response from him. When Urd got close enough to him, they all heard some kind of sound coming from Ranma...then finally it happened. Ranma broke out in a laughter so hard and so loud that he started to roll around on the ground. Skuld was angry again, and Belldandy and Urd couldn't do much but looked down at what Ranma was doing. At first they didn't notice it, but then they saw it...Ranma as rolling around was actually destroying the eggs has he rolled over them. Was the thought on the three goddesses who were witnessing what they thought was not possible. It was impossible for human to effect the bug, actually it was impossible to see or hurt the bugs on mortal planes without special equipment like what they were equipped with right now. However, Ranma was just rolling on the ground and doing just that, destroying the eggs. Three goddesses looked at each other and decided that this was a mystery that needed to be solved. They left Ranma alone to laugh, Megumi to dream, and Keiichi to look depressed and surprised and left the room without even being noticed. When they were outside, they started to talk about what was in all their minds. "How can he be doing that?" Skuld asked her older sisters for some answers. Belldandy usually came up with answers but Urd occasionally came up with good answers too. "Skuld, you are the system's debugger, you should know the answer!" Urd said, without the usual brat remark this time, too pre-occupied with what she had seen inside. "Hey, I just get rid of them, I don't know everything about them you know" "Skuld, Urd....please, this is not the time" "Ok...so what do we know about the bugs?" "Well, what we do know about them that is relevant to this case is that they cannot be seen or harmed by human beings on a mortal plane. You need a special equipment like what I designed" "And what did we just see inside?" "Well, we just saw a human, destroy a room full of bug eggs" "That's right, and it's even more strange considering that they were bug eggs and not bugs..." "What do you mean Belldandy?" "Doesn't the bugs usually hatch within seconds even if that?" "Yes, that is strange" "I wonder what could be causing such a thing" They were going to talk more about it, when they heard something crash inside, and they had to run back inside. When the goddesses ran back inside, from the shadow emerged a figure. "Hmmm....this new guy can destroy bug eggs all on his own? Interesting, I think I'll actually have fun with this one" With that Mara disappeared again into the shadow. After Mara disappeared, we wait several seconds, however, this time Karou did not appear after Mara disappeared. Back inside... "What was that!?" Urd asked opening the door to the inside only to find Keiichi embedded against a wall, and Megumi passed out from something, Ranma no where to be found and some red headed girl with fist extended. "Ummm....I can explain" "Go ahead, explain" Urd said, already preparing a force bolt "Well, I'm Ranma Saotome, sorry about this" End of Chapter 3 I got lot of email telling me that I should continue this fic, so I am.
