Ranma 1/2
Spirit within: final.
[[[[[Warning!!! Dark!!!]]]]]] This fic has been light up to now, it all
changes here. I had this ending planned almost right after I began writing
this fic. It ran for allot longer that I had originally projected so it sort
of lost some of it's darker roots along the way. Hope I don't piss too many
people off with this. Oh well... 

	Ranma stood in front of the cavern and looked into the darkness. Ryoga, and
Happosai caught up with him and stopped.
	"Hey Ranma whats up?" asked Ryoga impatiently.
	"This is where the map ends." said Ranma.
	"Where do we go now?" asked Ryoga.
	"Are you really that stupid?" asked Happosai. "We go in there." he said
pointing at the entrance to the cave.
	"We better be careful, this is obviously a trap." said Ranma as he walked
into the cave. Cologne appeared in front of him.
	"Well now, it wouldn't be very fair for us to interfere with this would it
Happy?" she said to the old man.
	Ranma growled at her. "What have you done to Akane?" he demanded.
	"Yea! What have you done to Uk-Akane?" said Ryoga standing behind him.
	"Me? Why nothing son in law. This was all young Mousse's Idea, I had nothing
to do with it." she said with a smile.
	Happy had been staring at her for a long while. "That nick name...for you to
know that. You must be...L'il Cologne." he gasped.
	"Well now its nice to see you too Happy. Let the children play alone, it
isn't very fair to help them." said Cologne.
	"Humph, it wasn't fair to take poor Akane and Ukyo captive either was it
now?" replied Happy. "C'mon boy's lets..." Happosai and Cologne looked around
and saw that the two youths had already left.
	"Ah well...So how ya been Cologne?" 

	Ranma and Ryoga walked down the tunnel that the entrance led to and turned
into a large hallway like room that was flanked on each side by statues of
soldiers all armed with spears. It was about thirty feet tall and forty feet
wide, and led to an underground temple about two hundred yards away.
	"Hey, I think I've been here before." said Ryoga. Ranma grabbed him and dove
behind one of the statues as the one behind where they had been standing
shattered at the waist. Several soft noises could be heard echoing through the
cave.
	"Welcome Saotome." called Mousse as he stepped from behind one of the statues
about twenty yards away. "I hope you like your tomb. It belongs to a lost
emperor of Japan." He threw the empty gun he had used to the ground, it had a
crude silencer on it.
	
	"Ryoga when we move watch the barrel of his gun, keep from being directly in
front of it and we may come out of this alive." said Ranma.
	"Coward! Are you afraid? Your to weak to face him like a man?!" yelled Ryoga.
The Arm of the statue they were hiding behind disappeared after a deafening
roar erupted through the cave.
	"Weak. strong. I'm the guy with the guns." said Mousse then he blew the smoke
off the barrel of the shotgun he had used.

	Shampoo and her prisoners became more restless with each passing moment as
gunfire continually erupted from outside the temple. "I hope that jerk Ryoga
didn't follow Ranma here." said Ukyo with a wavering voice.
	"Is boy friend?" asked Shampoo.
	"Don't even try it sugar, after what you did to me and my friend I'm not
about to start small talk with you." Growled Ukyo.
	Akane just watched the door quietly.
	Cologne appeared from the shadows of the cavern. "Well now isn't this
convenient?" she cackled.
	Shampoo stood in suprise. "Great grandmother what you doing here?" she said.
	"Just making sure things go my way if Mousse fails, and taking care of an old
'problem'." said The old woman as she looked at Akane as she hung high above
the group of statues all of which pointed their spears towards her. "Hmmm, how
convenient." she repeated looking pleased.

	Ranma dodged and ducked behind another statue as Mousse tore apart the room
with his M-60 machine gun. The pile of spent weapons at his feet was
impressive, almost as much as the shells he had collected. 
	"Doesn't this guy ever run out?!" growled Ryoga as he nursed the wounds he
had gotten on his leg and shoulder, they were really only scratches. 
	"We've only got flesh wounds so far." growled Ranma as he ignored his own
minor wounds. Then Mousse stopped firing. A low hissing noise could be heard
as the hidden weapons master began to stalk towards them.
	"Now whats he up to?" said Ryoga as he watched from over Ranma's shoulder.
Ranma noticed a small light coming from the small pipe coming from Mousse's
sleeve. A smile formed on his face. 
	"Ryoga no!" cried Ranma as Ryoga Bolted He dove out into the open and shot a
Ki blast at Mousse that grazed the boy and burned the side of his chest. 
	"Moukou Takabishi!" he cried. 
	"Where did he learn that?" thought Ranma in suprise. Mousse cried out in pain
and anger and pointed the weapon at Ryoga. A long thick beam of flame erupted
from the flame thrower catching the lost boy on his decent as he dove for
cover. Ryoga screamed and rolled into the shadows. He managed to put the
flames out as he hit the wall. He did not move after that.
	"Well Ranma I'll give you this, You are one hard to kill bastard." said
Mousse as he walked up and kicked Ryoga a few times. "Seems he's dead." said
Mousse calmly. He pulled a .45 from his robes and shot Ryoga in the shoulder.
"Yup." he said noting the lack of a reaction.
	Ranma stood from his place in the shadows and stepped out. "Bastard." he said
angrily.
	Mousse turned and shot the flame thrower at Ranma who jumped and rolled away
from the flame. Mousse growled and adjusted his aim. Ranma stayed just ahead
of the flames, barely. "You can't dodge forever Saotome!" said Mousse angrily.

	Cologne sat across from Ukyo and smiled at her. "Don't worry dear you won't
be harmed. We just need to make sure you don't get in our way." she said with
a smile. "Although I can't say the same for your friend."
	Ukyo growled and kept silent. She looked up at Akane who was silently
watching the door. The look in her eyes was filled with hope.
	"I wish I could be so confident." thought Ukyo. "Ryoga you jerk! Don't you
dare get killed on me."

	Ranma stayed just ahead of the flame and backed into the wall. He was almost
out or room to run. "Damn." he muttered as he rolled as flames shot over his
head. "Almost." she said.
	"That's right Ranma, Your almost out of room." said Mousse with a laugh.
	"No, we were almost there and now we are." said Ranma with a huge grin
appearing on his face. 
	Mousse's eyes went wide as he realized what was happening to him.		"Hiryu
shoten ha revised! horizontal blast!" cried Ranma as he punched towards
Mousse. Mousse growled and thought back to the fight. Ranma had been dodging
along the walls and floor only giving way slightly, his pattern had grown
tighter as he was backed into the wall. Mousse had assumed that it was because
he had less room due to the statues that flanked the hallway, he had been
wrong.
	Mousse was knocked to the side as a Ki blast slammed into him from the right.
"You shot me you bastard!" cried Ryoga from the corner. Just as the Hiryu
shoten ha blasted from Ranma's arm.
	Mousse was tossed into the air like a doll as the edge of the Hiryu shoten ha
caught him and threw him up towards the ceiling. Ranma and Ryoga shielded
their eyes as the dust and dirt clouded the cavern and made it difficult to
see or even breathe. 

	Cologne looked up from her meditation and sighed heavily. "Shampoo, Mousse
has lost, prepare to meet your new husband." she said to her granddaughter. 
	Shampoo's eyes went wide. "No! Mousse no lose is Impossible." she growled. "I
die before I marry Ranma! Mousse no let Ranma win!" she cried angrily. 
	Cologne sighed. "Believe what you like."
	A strong wind blew into the temple from the tunnel outside through the door
blowing dust and dirt into the temple. Cologne stood and waited for a moment
before walking over to the rope that held Akane suspended over the statues.
	"And now we wait." she said calmly.
	
	Ranma stood in the wake of his attack and walked over to Ryoga and helped him
up. "Your lucky you were behind these statues or it might have gotten you as
well." said Ranma. "Its a good thing you passed out and couldn't feel that or
Mousse would have killed you." said Ranma as he looked at Ryoga's shoulder.
	"What ever you..." Ryoga's eyes went wide as he stopped mid sentence. "Oh
god." he said in shock. 
	Ranma turned to see Mousse, he was impaled from his back on one of the
statues nearby. He writhed on the spear clutching the base of it as it jutted
from his chest. He turned his head and looked at them with a gaze of hatred.
"Shampoo..I...failed you." he said as he slipped away. His head tilted back
and sent his glasses to the ground. They shattered as they landed in the ever
growing pool of blood at the foot of the statue.
	"Lets go." said Ranma.

	Shampoo stood and stared at Ranma and Ryoga as they walked into the temple.
"Ranma!" cried Akane as she began to struggle against the ropes.
	Ukyo turned pale as Ryoga came into her field of vision. His arm was covered
in blood and hung limply at his side as he staggered in after Ranma. He turned
and smiled at her weakly. Cologne smiled and placed her staff against the rope
holding Akane in the air.
	"Welcome son in law." she said smugly.
	Ranma stared her down and fell to his knees. "You think I will marry Shampoo
after every thing you have done to me?" he growled at her.
	"If you truly love this girl, yes." said Cologne as she stripped the rope a
little.
	Ranma stood and glared at Akane. "Goul I challenge you, if you win I go with
you. If you lose you and Shampoo leave and never bother me again."
	Cologne returned his gaze. "Very well." she said with a small smile.
	Shampoo stood and glared at him with a small smile. He had just given her
great grandmother permission to kill him. 
	Ranma leaned over to Ryoga. "I'm counting on you buddy get them out of here,
no matter what happens." he gave Ryoga a sad smile.
	"You just killed yourself didn't you?" said Ryoga quietly staring at him in
disbelief.
	"Its too late for that to matter get them out." said Ranma sternly.
	"All right." said Ryoga reluctantly as he backed away.

	Ranma charged Cologne and was promptly thrown to the ground as she parried
with her staff. "Your a hundred years too late to beat me boy." she said as
she stabbed his leg with the end of the staff. Ranma screamed as his leg
exploded in pain. He stood shakily and faced her. She jumped around him at an
incredible speed and beat on him as she passed each time. Ranma stood and
punched vainly at her. She smacked him hard across the face and sent him to
the ground. He growled and pushed himself up and spat out three of his teeth.
	"Had enough boy?" laughed Cologne. 
	"Never." said Ranma as he charged her again.
	
	Ryoga untied the rope and lowered Akane slowly to the ground as Cologne and
Ranma fought. Akane just screamed Ranma's name over and over as he lowered
her. He had a feeling she would have to be carried out. She landed gently on
the ground between some of the statues and struggled to get to her feet. The
ropes made it difficult and she strained and watched in horror as Ranma was
beaten mercilessly by the elder Amazon.
	
	"What you think you doing?" said a high pitched voice from behind Ryoga. He
fled his shoulder explode in pain as Shampoo gripped it hard and brought him
to his knee's.
	"You have ...Ranma...let them go.." he said as Shampoo squeezed ever harder.
	Shampoo let go and Kicked the wound hard Sending Ryoga to the floor. "Why?"
she said angrily. "I make Ranma suffer before Great grandmother kill him, I'll
kill woman he love in front of eyes." she said with a sadistic smile. She
brought her Bonbori down on Ryoga's leg several times and he felt it snap. She
jumped and landed on his back and Ryoga yelped in agony. Shampoo giggled as
she beat him in the head with her Bonbori. "After I kill student." she said.
	Ukyo struggled against the Chains that held her to the wall angrily.
"RYOGA!!" she screamed. "Get off him you bitch! I'll Kill you!" she screamed
as tears streamed down her face. The she felt something give.
	
	Ranma Rolled away from Colognes staff and wiped the blood from his eyes. The
goul touched him on the forehead and sent him flying back into the ground. "So
boy you thought you could defeat me?" she cackled. "Still so eager to fight?"
	"I will fight till I beat you or die." spat Ranma as he stood again almost
falling over in the process. He regained his balance faced her. "Moukou
Takabishi!" he cried sending the blast at her  and falling over from the
recoil.
	Cologne simply stepped to the side and smiled. "You'll have to do better than
that I'm afraid."

	Shampoo beat Ryoga into the ground and kicked him in the gut. "Stupid you no
can beat Shampoo." she yelled at him angrily. She stopped Cold as she felt
something sharp against her back. 
	"Ryoga honey, you OK?" asked Ukyo quietly as she held the spear she had
'borrowed' from one of the statues against Shampoo's back. Ryoga did not move.
Ukyo growled and stared at Shampoo hard. "You killed my fiancee'" she said and
shoved the spear hard.
	Shampoo did a backflip and kicked Ukyo in the face as she tried to stab her
in the back. "You no can face me?" she taunted. "You die like boyfriend."
	Ukyo screamed and slashed at Shampoo with the spear. Shampoo dodged and
weaved around the blows and blocked some of them with her Bonbori. She then
swept Ukyo's feet and uppercut her in the gut with one of the Mace like
weapons. Ukyo lost her wind and her spear went flying off into the shadows.
	"Stupid girl you no can defeat me, now you die too." said Shampoo as she
raised her Bonbori into the air. 
	"Y-you killed my Ryoga-kun." Said Ukyo bitterly. She looked at Shampoo with a
gaze of ice. 
	It was not the gaze that stopped the Amazon from striking, it was the huge Ki
aura that formed around her. Ukyo's face was almost like that of a corpse.
There was no anger, only complete despair. "I never even told him I-I never
said that I-" she stammered hysterically. Shampoo backed away in terror. She
slowly began to regain her senses.
	"What I do?" she said looking down at Ukyo as she held Ryoga's body in her
arms. She felt dread encompass her heart as she realized that she had just
lost her mind.
	Ukyo looked at her and her face turned into a mask of pure rage. "SHI SHI
HOUKOU DAN!" Was the last thing Shampoo heard before the world went black to
her.
	
	Ranma stood against the wall as Cologne closed in on him. "You are quite a
warrior son in law." she said as she hit him in the gut. "All out of tricks?"
she said as Ranma held himself up against the wall.
	Ranma growled at her and wiped the blood from his brow again. he knew he
could not stand much longer, he was in serious pain and browning out. A few
more hits and he would die at Colognes hands. He couldn't even stand with all
the blood he was losing."Not quite. Bakusai Tenketsu." said Ranma as he
touched the wall. It exploded in a cloud of dust and Rock Cologne backed away
from the huge dust cloud and a realization hit her.
	"You'll not escape that easily son in law!" she cried and lept into the
cloud.
	"SHIN BAKUSAI TENKETSU!"

	Ukyo cried softly as she held Ryoga against her chest. She looked at his
battered face and frowned. "Your dirty." she said with a small laugh and she
rubbed some of the dirt off his face. She turned to see Akane watching her
with tears in her eyes.  After a moment Akane returned to watching Ranma
battle Cologne. It was fairly obvious that he would also die. She looked at
Ryoga again and lay him on the ground gently. "Worry about the living." she
thought coldly. She bent down and began to kiss him on the lips. "Good bye
Ryoga ku--" she stopped. She felt something on her lips. She backed away and
looked at Ryoga again and it hit her. "Breath." Ryoga was still alive. She
pulled him to her chest and sobbed. "Ryoga wake up honey! Don't die on me!"
she cried as she picked him up and headed towards Akane.

	Akane stood watching helplessly as Ranma fought with Cologne. She Had managed
to free herself from the ropes but the statues around her formed a sort of
cage. She beat against her prison made of statues and tried vainly to shove
them over or break through them. The statues in the temple, unlike the stone
guards in the entrance hallway were made of solid iron. "Akane." said a voice
from behind her. She turned to see Ukyo standing on the other side of the
statues.
	"Ukyo!" she cried "Get me out of here!" 
	"I'm gonna climb to the top and pull you out." said Ukyo. 
	Akane waited and watched Ranma's battle as Ukyo climbed up the ten foot tall
guardian. A few moments passed and Ukyo called from the top. "Akane grab my
spear." she said. 
	After a minute they were out Akane ran towards the battle when an explosion
rocked the cavern. They neared the battle just in time to hear.
	"Shin Bakusai Tenketsu!"

	The smoke cleared away slowly and Ranma stood motionless in the haze. He held
his arm extended out and Cologne was impaled on his finger By her shoulder.
Her staff was extended in a blow that had just missed Ranma's head. "That's
good boy." said the old woman "But you should know that move has no effect on
living things." 
	"Doesn't it?" said Ranma as he shook her off and threw her to the ground.
	The last thing Cologne ever saw was Ranma's finger glowing blue as she fell
to the ground. She realized what he had done. He had just pumped her shoulder
full of Ki. She Screamed a high pitched scream as she felt it begin to swell
and tear apart. She exploded on the ground before Ranma covering him in her
remains. Half her face and most of her chest was gone as what was left
twitched on the ground. Ranma turned to see Akane running towards him with her
arms extended and tears in her eyes. He smiled and sat up. 
	Then he saw them. Akane and Ukyo stopped. Ukyo slowly placed Ryoga's
unconscious form on the ground and they looked around in horror. The Amazon
village was here, in the cave with them.
	A woman of about forty walked up to Ranma and looked at him. "Get them out of
here." she said to the others. She pulled her hand back and struck Ranma in
the neck. He slumped down with a smile still on his face.
	Akane screamed as Ranma fell to the ground. Several Amazon women dragged her
from the cave with Ukyo and Ryoga. "Ranma!" she screamed as she watched the
women stand around him, she struggled with those pulling her away. 
	She saw Shampoo being carried along with her through the hall way. The
Amazons carrying her veered off to the side and gently let her go near one of
the statues. Akane heard an anguished cry and screaming coming from the Amazon
but she didn't care. She struggled and tried to throw her captors off angrily.
Then she felt a gentle hand on her neck, after that the world became black.

	She awoke three days later in the hospital. She sat up and looked around.
Ryoga hobbled over to her on his crutches and gave her a weak smile His arm
was in a heavy cast that covered most of his chest. Ukyo stood next to him and
smiled at her. "Hey you OK?" she asked.
	"Ranma?" asked Akane quietly.
	Ukyo said nothing and turned away in an attempt to control her own emotions.
Ryoga held her and comforted her as best he could with his body in the
condition it was in. Akane gripped the sheets on her bed and felt tears in her
eyes.
	"Ryoga, you looked pretty bad before, are you OK?" she asked to change the
subject. 
	Ryoga smiled. "It looked worse than it was, I got allot of bruises, a broken
leg, a mild concussion, and a hole in my arm, other than that I'm fine." he
said with his grin wavering. It was obvious he was taking it pretty hard
himself.
	"You guys carried me here?" asked Akane.	
	"No. We all woke up here. said Ukyo bitterly. "They dropped us off on the way
home." 
	Soun burst into the room with tears in his eyes. "My baby is awake at last!"
he sobbed as he grabbed her in a rough hug. 
	Akane smiled at this but reacted only a little. Nabiki and Kasumi followed
him in. 
	"You really had us scared sis." said Nabiki.
	"Oh my I'm so glad your all right Akane!" exclaimed Kasumi.
	"Is she?" thought Nabiki to herself.

   Two weeks later...

	Soun Tendo smiled as Akane sat next to him in the park. He was tired and worn
from all that had happened to his family. Akane had locked herself in her room
and stayed, she refused to leave for school or any other reason. She just
stayed in the room and mourned. Ukyo and Ryoga would visit occasionally and
she would talk with them, but it was obvious her heart was not in it. Her
father was taking it very hard. He had sat with her as much as she would allow
and eventually convinced her to come with the family to the park. It wasn't
much but it was a major breakthrough for Akane. She sat silently next to him. 
	Genma Saotome walked by him in the park. "Saotome kun." he said with wide
eyes. He turned to see Akane glaring at him. 
	"Hello Tendo, fancy meeting you here." said Genma with a look of genuine
suprise.
	"I-I- didn't, really dear. Its...just a" stammered Soun.
	"It's OK daddy I believe you, go talk with your friend." said Akane as she
turned her gaze back to the sky.
	"Really Akane, I promised I would never do that again." said Soun just to be
sure.
	"I must offer my condolences." said Genma bowing respectfully.
	"Thank you." said Akane. 
		
	"So, is she feeling any better?" asked Genma after they were away from Akane.
	"Really, Saotome." growled Soun.
	"Tendo, Don't insult me like that. You are my best friend I would not make
such a foolish mistake twice." said Genma.
	"So how is your son? I heard he was training in the mountains again." said
Soun. 
	"He had an accident." said Genma with a far off look.
	"I am sorry to hear that." said Soun as they walked back to the bench where
Akane sat alone.
	"Ah, Akane my wife is waiting for me. I hope you are feeling better soon."
said Genma bowing to her as he parted from his friend.
	"Pop you tell her if she acts like this when I really am dead I'll haunt her
for the rest of her life." 
	Akane's heart stopped. "What?" she said looking at Genma in suprise.
	Genma paled and turned to glare at the wheelchair ridden boy behind him. "I
apologize, my son is very rud--" 
Akane cut him off mid sentence. "Ranma!" she cried and ran into the arms of
the younger Saotome.
	Soun watched as Akane kissed Ranma and knocked him and the wheel chair over. 
	"Yyyou?" he stuttered in disbelief.
	"Wait a minute I recognize her." said Genma adjusting his glasses.
	"That is your son?!" yelled Soun.
	"That is your daughter?!" repeated Genma.
	"So an evil slut, eh Saotome?" growled Soun.
	"Rotten bastard?" retorted Genma. 
	The two men looked at their children and smiled. "At last our families will
be joined!" cried Soun.

Epilogue
Three weeks later...

	"So what happened again? I still don't get it." said Ryoga as Ranma sat
across from Ukyo, Ryoga and Akane at Uchans. Akane smiled at Ranma as he began
and played with the small gold ring on her finger.
	"Well after what you saw they brought me to a sort of hospital. I was there
for about two weeks. They said that Cologne really messed my nerves up and I
would have died if they hadn't help me." said Ranma.
	"Why did they help you?" asked Ukyo confused.
	"Something to do with the image of Amazons. You see Mousse and Shampoo were
lovers. She is pregnant with Mousse's child. That's why we hadn't seen Reiraku
for a while. She couldn't change with the child in her. They said the child
might be her only chance at regaining her sanity." Ranma frowned at this. "I'm
still not sure why they told me all that. Anyway, When Mousse and Shampoo
became lovers then she legally gave up on me. The marriage contract became
'void' so to speak. That meant Reiraku's hunt on me had no merit, so he was
out of the picture. Cologne, Mousse and Shampoo chose to ignore this and went
after me anyway. Whether or not Cologne knew about the pregnancy or even that
they were lovers isn't really known. So she may have been acting within the
laws of the Amazons. But Mousse and Shampoo knew. Even if she regains her
senses she won't ever get back the status she once held in the tribe. They
were coming to bring them all back, one of the spies they sent had caught
Mousse and Shampoo in the act." explained Ranma.
	"They were a little late." grumbled Ryoga. He popped his shoulder and rotated
his arm to keep it from becoming stiff. 
	"Thank god for super fast healing abilities, eh Ryoga?" said Ranma smacking
him on the shoulder playfully. 
	"Ow, you jerk!" he cried punching Ranma's leg.
	Ranma winced "They helped me because as long as Shampoo and Cologne  didn't
succeed then Shampoo lives in shame and can never lead the village, a sort of
punishment for ignoring the laws. Also it was a sort of apology for all the
trouble they caused me." he said while glaring at Ryoga.
"By the way. You never explained how you learned how to do the Moukou
Takabishi." said Ranma to Ryoga.
	Ryoga blushed. "Well, I just sort of figured it out." he said grinning
dumbly. "It took me forever to figure out how to do it with out hurting myself
with it, but I did, with a little help from Ukyo." he said pointing at her. 
	Ukyo blushed and said nothing.
	"She fights pretty good for an uncute tomboy." said Ryoga smiling. Of course
it earned him a belt to the head from Ukyo.
	Akane and Ranma smiled at this.	
	Suddenly Happosai burst into the room and hid behind Ranma's leg. "You've got
to help me!" he cried.
	"I was wondering when you would show up again." said Ranma staring at him as
he cowered behind him.
	"Where ya been old man? I haven't seen you since the cave." said Ryoga.
	Akari burst in after him. "Ryoga Kun? Where were you? You were supposed to
take me out today!" she cried as she grabbed Ryoga by the neck.
	"What?" cried Ryoga and Ukyo in unison. Ukyo hit him over the head. 
	"See she is a violent tomboy Ryoga kun!" cried Akari pointing at Ukyo who
fumed. 
	"Akari if that oversized pig of yours wreaks my restaurant again..." growled
Ukyo at the girl.
	"One of the trash cans snuck up behind Ukyo.
	"Don�t' even think about it." she cried and slammed it out of the door way.
Tatiwaki Kuno charged into the door and demanded that Ranma and Ryoga Release
his loves from their evil grasp. Only to get thrown from the restaurant.
	Ranma smiled at all of this as he watched Ukyo and Ryoga bicker. Then the
wall caved in.
	"She's found me!" cried Happosai. 
	"My restaurant!" yelled Ukyo.
	Ranma stared at the huge black aura that surrounded what he knew to be a huge
pink elephant.
	A few minutes later Akane and Ukyo were both drug on board a gigantic boat
flying above them while Lai-chi cried for 'her prince'. They had both caught
the scroll at the same time.	
	"Ukyo!" cried Ryoga as he dashed on to the boat using Tsubasa as a spring
board.
	Ranma sighed and lept after him. "Won't this be fun?" he said to himself
happily.
	"Hey you jerk! give me back my wife!"............
