      "Fuyuzuki, any thoughts on this subject?"  To everyone else Gendou had
everything in complete control.  Under the surface though was a man pulling
his hair out.  Everything was going according to scheldule until the sudden
appearance of Saotome.  Now Gendou was not sure if Saotome's appearance might
have affect the parameters.

      Having nothing to add to the discussion, Fuyuzuki shook his head.

      "That leaves us with only one alternative.  We shall interrogate Saotome
to see if he is a threat to us.  I do not like mysteries and I want answers!"
Gendou's sudden outburst surprised everyone including himself.

      "Seems like Ranma has the nack for bringing out the best and worse in an
individual, huh Ritsuko?"  Misato whispered.  She could clearly remember Rei's
new wardrobe.

      Ritsuko could only agree with Misato's observation.  Ever since Ranma's
arrival, Shinji has started to mature, Asuka had become more competitive and
the two surprises were commander Ikari and Ayanami.  "Commander, I know that
Saotome might be an enigma but do you think it is wise to interrogate him?  So
far he has shown no hostility towards anyone.  To interrogate him might
alienate him from those he consider his friends at the moment."

      "His cooporation or goodwill does not concern me, what I want are
answers.  You are all dismissed."

Gendou is going to bit of more than he can chow. and face on of the most powerful
forces in the universe, A very angry ranma

Too late...I wrote a scene like that ;)


Here's  cut and paste...


  "I'm glad Shinji ain't here to hear me say this. But you're a dick," Ranma
said, "I figured I'd letcha know. I mean, a really big dick. Here you are,
Shinji's father, and you treat him like trash. Although he never clearly says
it, I can guess by the way he talks about you. If I were Shinji, I'd punch your
lights out. And after that, I'll start kicking you in the ribs while you were
unconscious"
  "Is that supposed to be a threat" Gendo said. He could almost feel his blood
boiling. How dare he makes those kind of assumptions about him when he didn't
even know him.
  "No, it's not a threat," Ranma retorted, "I'm just stating that you're a dick.
You could help us out by doing one simple thing, but you refuse to do so. I
dunno what's with you and that cold ass attitude of yours, but it's getting
annoying. What made you become like this? Huh?"
  Gendo found himself clenching his jaws, the muscles of his forearms tightening
as he made fists.
  "What happened? Did your wife get killed? Did you lose your family?" Ranma
persisted.
  Misato and Ritsuko almost took a step back, a bit scared.
  Gendo said nothing. He continued to look at Ranma with a critical eye, as if
looking right through him.
  "Well, if it's any of that, that's a rather stupid reason to act like that.
Me, I've lost my whole family. Everyone. I was even there to see 'em die. I held
'em as they died in my arms. And, still, I don't act like some kinda dick with a
stick up his ass."
  "And what makes you think you're not?"
  Ranma sighed, "Hello? Anybody home? You treat your son like shit. At least I
have the heart to be nice to people. You, on the other hand, I would never treat
nice. I don't think there's anybody I ever came across that I disliked more than
you."
  Ranma turned around and started to leave.
  "Where are you going? I'm not through with you!" Gendo said, gritting his
teeth.
  "So?" Ranma said, "I don't wanna stay here and talk to you." He looked at
Ryoga, "Hey, Ryoga, since this dick over here won't help us, it looks like we're
stuck trekking down to China to see if the damn place still exists. If you wanna
stay, fine, but I'm gonna leave with or without you,"
  Ryoga looked at Misato and then at Ritsuko. When his eyes rested on Gendo,
Ryoga sneered a bit, knowing that Ranma was right, and that Gendo was, as Ranma
put it, 'a dick'. 

The Ranma talking in this scene is the Ranma from my 'just won't die' series....
