After a long long time, much procasinating, and being poked. Another

Chapter 6 (Draft)

 It was getting dark; night seemed to come very fast, that was very odd
for a season, which looked like it was going through a drought. The sky
was cloudless; it wasn't the best of nights to be outside as the air was
dry and it was still hot even with the sun going down. It was better
than the day though. His surroundings were much nicer than everywhere
else he had visited in this world. Whoever lived here was rich, a noble
he was guessed.

 Ranma was not in deep thought unlike what was shown on his features. He
was just looking. He had been doing too much thinking lately. A lot of
things ran through his mind, but he pushed it aside; right now he was at
peace with himself.

 He had been surprised Siuan hadn't come looking for him. Her emotions
told him that she wanted to rip him apart, which he didn't know why, but
she said nothing. *What does she want from me?* Everytime she would
glaze at him with those determine eyes, but nothing followed.

 She had been hurt, but it was healed. A whole group of magic users�all
women. He never understood them, the only one he could somewhat relate
to was Birgitte the archeress warder. He remembered Siuan had been most
astonished by Chi. Was it that important? She hated or feared it, he
didn't know why. *If using chi was that bad, how would she react to the
curse?* Akane had called him a pervert for that and if anything else the
curse gave more trouble.

 Ranma relaxed his body, he would just relax right now, trying not to
think; it would only further confuse him. He got this habit after
arriving at the Tendo's. It was sometimes better if he just got away
from it all for one moment. He was a man though, and he wouldn't run
from anything.

 "It's a beautiful sight"

  A voice, he hadn't felt a presence, but someone was behind him. The
voice was familiar; he had wonder what happened to her or even if she
was real�now�

 He spun around so he could see her, or an image of her. Faint and
misty, she was there with those big dark eyes, that serene face, and
that ageless face. *Ageless?* A brief image of those two Aes Sedai came
into the mind. They were old with their hair pure white, twins, but the
face; they had an ageless face to them, just like her.

 "You're an Aes Sedai," he breathed out. "Are� are you real?" He was
taken aback by all these new information.

 "I'm real, I can be sure of that," a musical voice, calm yet firm. He
could remember Siuan doing that a lot too, though she added that harsh
side to it. Hers was a more calm and pleasurable one.

 "How, what are you?" He was in a ready stance now. This was not Ranma's
first time at seeing a ghost, but one could never be too careful.

 "I have no knowledge of how this happened, but it appears I am linked
to you." The answer struck like needle.

 "Linked?" This conversation had a nagging familiarity to the one he had
with Siuan.

 "I seemed to have to be near you. At first no one could see me, but
then, right now�I felt closer to you, almost as if I can feel your
presence," Moiraine had not dropped that serene face. She was quite a
sight, like a queen talking. "Then I knew you could hear me."

 *Linked�like a bond* He remember he almost felt another bond a while
back. Checking carefully, he could feel Siuan inside the house and there
was a faint hint of a second one, near by, but whenever he tried to look
too carefully it always went back to Siuan. *How?*

 "Is something wrong Ranma?" Moiraine voice sounded like she almost
cared. Ranma had no idea with her. Siuan had been easier to tell, even
if she hid it with her cool face. But with all that he could still feel
what was inside her.

 The last time he had been with Moiraine, she played him like fiddle.
Like his mother, she made every suggestion sound so right and like
Nabiki, she would always have that hint that she was right and he was
wrong.

 "Interesting," came another new voice, this one too sounded too
familiar for his mind. Ranma thought he had gone insane. Has she thrown
her voice, he swore Moiraine was now behind him. Spinning around fast,
there was a person behind him, sitting idly on a rock. *Was I so startle
that I didn't feel that presence too?*

 Cloaked in white, this person had a hood that hid the face in mystery.
She had on white clothing too from what little the cloak hadn't hid.
There were red triangle like patterns embroidered along the edges of the
cloak and she wore blue slippers that sparkled with a crystal light.
Right now the person was sitting casually on a large rock cross-legged.
>From the voice it was a she, and probably could be Moiraine's twin if
not Moiraine herself.

 "I was wondering where she had went." A musical voice, almost teasing,
unlike what the image besides him usually sounded like. This voice had
more emotion to it, not Moiraine's serene tone.

 Pulling the hood back, she revealed her face, the serene face of
Moiraine Sedai.

 "But, but how?" Ranma half muttered, half shouted.

 "Long story�" the cloaked Moiraine spoke. "To say, I bran you here and
was giving you a hand, a bit, when you used the Hiryu Shoten Ha. Now we
have this situation here." She explained as if everything had been so
obvious.

 *What? She caused this? Who was she, what did I ever do to her?* Ranma
was confused, amazed, and angry all at the same time. "Who are you? Why
did you do this to me!?" She only gave a friendly smile back.

 "Me�ooh_ Destiny. No? How about Kukuru then? I used to use that a long
time ago. I always liked that name," she answered all too casually.
Kukuru knew Ranma well and already knew what his thoughts were
beforehand.

 "You, Ranma, was needed in this world, didn't Siuan tell you the story?
I guess not." She had not even skipped a beat at that. "Well the Dark
One soon will be upon this world, and you are needed to save this
world." *Well the reason I bran him here was to help* Ranma was stunned
by the explanation, she knew something like that would keep him from
complaining. For him to deny was to lose honor. "You might want to ask
Moiraine sometime."

 "Me? DarkOne?" Ranma responded with his mouth open. *To fight an evil
in this world, to save this world* His head was spinning, all these
questions popping up in his head, it was hard to think straight.

 Seeing he was stunned she went on. She liked keeping secrets, but it
would be much easier to get some facts known. "And we are all linked
now, Me, you, Moiraine, and Siuan I suppose, though I don�t think anyone
besides you and me can see Moiraine over there," Kukuru's tone suddenly
got more serious. "For me, I think we're bonded. How? I have no idea how
one can be bonded to two people, but I can feel it as much as you."

 She gave him no time to think and Moiraine acted like if she was not
there. How well it fit to bully Ranma. Dropping a heavy pack that Ranma
had lost a while back, "Something you left behind. You might not want to
tell Siuan yet, she has enough problems for now, may we speak again,
ta-da." And with a flip into the air she was gone.

 Ranma blinked a few times *Bonded? Linked? Hey she�d disappeared!*
Everything just became a blur, she, they girl who looked like Moiraine
never gave him a chance to think. It was one shock after another and now
she jus disappeared. Looking back, Moiraine was still there as if
nothing had happened. She gave a slight arch from her eyebrow as an
indication she was alive. *Why can't life ever be easy�*

    < OH MY! >

 Off to a distance Kukuru smiled at her performance, it was just so
convenient that Moiraine was also there. Ranma was so easy to maneuver,
but then she knew him quite well. She always liked doing these
mysterious roles, it was just fun. *What to do now, visit Rand?* Well
now it was all a big game, but not with anyone in particular, it was
with the pattern. The ultimate force, if go about wrong could cause much
damage.

 "I wonder if there are any little trinkets for him, he might have a
hard road ahead of him." Destiny was spinning on the young boy and she
was directly linked to it. She could feel him, the bond allowed that and
he could feel, if a little harder, her. *It's been awhile since
something this exciting happened*

    < OH MY! >

 Siuan was tired; healing took a lot of energy when it was a wound this
serious. Ranma had rescued her, *Maybe that boy was good for something*
She was too tired to deal with him now and she didn't want to think
about what the boy had again done, again. It wasn't channeling, or at
least it hadn't looked it, but it wasn't natural either. Ranma had been
amazing, that sword in his hand had became a blur, a deadly move. Again
and again, he had shocked her with something new, she could not deal
with it right now.

 There was a knock on the door, it was Elayne with her head high and
graceful form. She had also receive some healing, but not as severe.
Siuan herself felt like collapsing, at least this time it would be on a
bed. Another game, probably on the topic of going to Caemlyn, she was
too tired for this right now, but it was not so tiring for her to sleep
yet.

    < OH MY! >

 Sleep came and went, but it wasn't very restful. Ranma couldn't sleep
much; it wasn't so much of the resent discoveries, but the new feelings
that seem to nag him to no end. It wasn't so much of the one he had with
Siuan, but the other woman, the one that he couldn't see right now,
Moiraine. He knew she was there, just that he couldn't see it.

 It hadn't taken him long to figure out the trigger for his sight of her
spirit. One had to devoid the mind of wondering thoughts and focus;
feeling and sensing, almost as if one would sense the aura of an
opponent. He didn't need that now; the unusual bond told him she was
close, very close.

 Giving up sleep was almost a pleasure at the first crack of light,
strangely he wasn't feeling as tired as he should. Perhaps it was
something about being a warder, Moiraine had told him a little of what a
warder gets. They hadn't talked much. Ranma still wasn't comfortable
with anyone that had this strange age-less face. She told him a little
of the history of this world. There would be the rising of some powerful
evil that would destroy everything. That was as much as he got and some
tibbits on Siuan's behavior that he knew all too well already.

 Stretching his senses Moiraine seemed to shimmer into his view,
standing outside a small window. The place was big, but there were also
a lot of people, mostly women staying here. Turning she flashed him one
of those piercing glazes. She was pretty with that serene face and big
dark eyes, but nonetheless he couldn't put an age too her.

 Giving a smile she asked, "Waking up early?" It almost looked as if she
was being friendly. He wished he knew what to do with all this.

 "Yea, couldn't sleep much," came the simple reply. He got dressed with
his usual, a blue sleeveless shirt with black pants. He was glad he had
his stuff back, there had been no way to salvage the red one. Giving a
brief glance at the sword, he left it there and went out for his usual
practice. Ranma hadn't needed to ask for Moiraine to join, she had to
stick to him. *At least this time I don't have multiple Fiancees
following after me*

 Moiraine followed the young warder with flowing grace that almost
matched his. She couldn't help but to silently admire Ranma. There was
so much potential in him. Yet she knew he was stubborn, more so then
most males. A strong hand wouldn't be able to handle him; there was the
need for different tactics. She could handle that, after two years of
trailing after the boy to become The Dragon. Still Ranma had to be
approached very carefully.

 *The boy is very closed to the world. Something must of led him to be
so wearily. Strange for one so young* Moiraine knew full well the Ranma
was not from this world, bran by the mysterious girl. She had her
reasons for pairing up her old friend Siuan and him together, Moiraine
just didn't know what. What would she do, Somehow use him to get back to
Rand? Moiraine had the faintest hint that her death was not the end
then, but nothing could prepare her for now. *Should I help Siuan mold
this boy or the girl on her unknown plans?* It was undecided as of yet.

 She had little choice but to follow the boy out to the simple courtyard
as she was bounded to stay close. It was impossible to go more then eye
distance from Ranma, whatever the reasons it limited her very much. Her
only contact to the living world was through him and the boy simply
ignored her most of the time. There seemed to be no way to talk to the
boy unless he wanted to. That annoyed Moiraine to no end. *Am I to be
cursed with mule-headed stubborn males!?*

 Out in the courtyard, the sun was barely up. He liked it this way. It
was peaceful and a good time to get a workout to push away the daze of
his life. With the weather like it was now, this was a good time to be
outside with the baking sun coming even before mid-day. Mentally
scourging through his mind, he wanted to find the most complex kata for
full concentration. Ranma didn�t want to think of what he was going to
do. He wanted to go home and now he had a way, but would he. The double
of Moiraine had sent him here, and had obviously caused the bond so
there had to be a way to undo it. But again he was here for a reason, to
fight a great evil. Moiraine had mentioned this unnatural heat was the
work of this �DarkOne� and it was a duty of a Marital Artist to defend
against evil.

 Motions of each punch became kicks, almost like an after image. Spins
and pivots danced faster then the dust, a block for every punch, a punch
for every kick, a turn for every kick, it was impossible to distinguish
any pattern, but it flowed. *A master at his art* Lan was a bit more
surprised with the skill this young boy showed. *Wouldn�t a Green love
this one* Lan mentally chuckled at the side thought. *Where had Siuan
pick up this one?* Traveling across the lands, never once had he seen
one like him.

 Lan supposed the boy was a great choice to be a warder; young,
talented, and supposedly easy to mold into the perfect warder. But he
knew the boy was not so easily changed. He had an uneventful past of
stubbornness and something else that made him untrusting to everything.
It wasn�t his place to meddle in any Aes Sedai affairs though; the first
time he had, it got him bonded.

 Ranma noticed the sun was much higher now, it seemed to happen faster
then normal, but with only a couple of days on this world, he couldn�t
tell for sure. Shifting stance he closed his eyes and began a
free-floating kata. Voiding any wondering thoughts, he let natural
movements flow with no pattern that was preplanned. A way to analyze any
flaw for himself.

 That was a bad thing as by doing so, also it extended his senses.
Moiraine suddenly popped in and he almost missed a step entirely, still
not used to expecting a presence popping out of nowhere. Sighing he
tried to ignore it and kept his focus on his kata.

 Giving up, he shifted his thought to something else that plagued him.
Leaving him alone and away from the only place he had called home in a
long time. He kept thinking maybe he could go back, but he knew it was
not the so called lost of honor that led him away from the Tendos. He
wanted to leave for a long time, then an opportunity arise and that time
he took it and ran. Running was how he ended up here. *Should I run
again?*

 *What should I do* The question had been running through his head over
and over again. He hadn�t expected an answer, but he also hadn�t
expected whispers suddenly popping up around him too. Ranma stopped in
mid motion scanning the courtyard dumbfounded. There seemed to be many,
many women staring at him, most of them with smiles on their faces.
There was only one thing Ranma could do; he gave his famous bashful one
hand behind his head and laughing cutely pose. At least it was cute to
the women�s point of view.

    < OH MY! >

 Siuan woke up in a heap. She felt as if she just went through a
nightmare, but for the life of her, she couldn�t remember anything after
lying still on the bed. Looking out, the sun was already up, not much of
a surprise to her; the day�s seemed like it was becoming shorter and
shorter.

 She Worked out of bed and went about her routine, she idly fixed the
essentials and into to a nice comfortable dress. She felt a minor
headache accompanied from having a rough night, but pushed the nuisance
off. All her chaos was finally sorting out again. She was to get back to
the moving camp where she came from and today she would kick her
irritating young warder into place. Ranma seemed to be responding, more
slowly then she liked, but nonetheless shaping into what a warder would
be.

 Stepping out of her room, she lingered around, hoping the morning meal
would be around somewhere. She maybe an Aes Sedai, but she didn�t need
to be waited on hand and foot. Getting to a large pile of women, she saw
Ranma.

 He was in a hypnotic dance of motion, deadly yet graceful beyond
comparison. She was awed that a human body could move in such a state
and on top of which, his eyes were closed, giving no hint of hesitation
from lack of sight.

 Some nonchalant gossip suddenly floated into her ears. Giving a another
good glance at Ranma, she realized that he was wearing an almost
identical version of clothing that she first seen him in, except this
time it was a royal blue instead of the bright red of the previous. It
was a tight vest hugging his form that no doubt had most of the
surrounding women�s sights. This got her furious.

 Ranma was a fairly handsome boy, added with his graceful movements and
glistening sweat that further oiled his firm muscles and powerful form,
he was a sight for every girl�s fairytale of their Sun Prince. That in
itself she couldn�t really make her furious, but the fact that a warder
was not suppose to attract attention had. It won�t do if every girl
tries to marry off her warder while she had Aes Sedai business to attend
to. *Those clothes must go!*

 Suddenly he stopped in mid form and was almost startled by his
audience. He seemed to further awe his admirers by doing an almost
childishly blush and laugh in such away that it got half the girls
giggling and giving outright smiles. She must admit it was cute, but the
fact of it just got her more angry.

 "Yo Siuan!" She almost winced at him. *The boy had no subtlety at all!*

    < OH MY! >

  Ranma followed Siuan, he knew she was mad, for what reason, he had no
idea. Outwardly she was the presence of calm. These Aes Sedai seem to do
that too much. He just did not understand women.

 Closing the door, Siuan�s first question went off. "How long have you
been channeling?" She should of sat down and go about it slowly, but the
bottle up frustration was close to its peak.

 "Channeling what?" Ranma remembered something about that. *Maybe she
meant being able to focus my chi*

 Siuan frowned at him. "The one power, you mule headed fish gut. Don�t
bother hiding it, I should bundle you up to be gentled right now if not
that you�re my warder."

 "What power? There�s probably a lot of powers out there, which one?"
Ranma scratched his head. She was bent all out of shape for some power
and she can�t even explain it right.

 *Arrhh!* "Don�t play dumb with me, how long have you channeled Sadin!
You know anyone who does will go mad. If you have any hope from it, you
must tell me."  Her calm voice suddenly went up a notch, not to mention
her eyebrow going down to a dangerously low one.

 "Hey, what you getting bent out of shape for, I ain�t know what power
you mean, but using chi won�t make anyone go mad."

 "What is this chi you talk about you fish gutted fool? Stop your
pathetic excuse to mask your channeling."

 "How am I suppose to explain it to a violent tomboy like you, who is
about to pop a vein." Ranma was getting sort of annoyed too.

 "How dare you speak to me like that! I�ll make you regret the day your
father stole his first kiss to you mother!"

 Ranma glared at her, "Hey tough talk for someone who needs saving from
every day. An old mummy like you shouldn�t be looking so young in the
first place." One of the things he did pick up from Moiraine was that
Siuan was some high up person or such and much older then she appeared.

 *THAT�THAT�IRATATING BOY!* All sense fleeted from her mind except one
thing�

 "DIE!"
 "GAH!" sprouted a startled Ranma.

 Ranma was surprised when Siuan unexpected lunged at him with both hands
reaching for his throat. She was a face of pure rage.

    < OH MY! >

 Rand lazily got up from his royal bed in Illian. His vision slowly
getting forms from the blurs he had. He was still hurting, but it hadn�t
mattered, he would endure. Get dressed in a rush, he need time, today he
would fix Illian from the Forsaken who ravaged this place for his own
end. Suddenly a knock came to the door. "Who is it," he barked out.

 A creak opened, "I�m sorry my King, but umm there do be a Mistress is
here, to see you my liege. She was, she says her name do be Moiraine."
That was a surprising. *How had Moiraine gotten here. What is she doing
here*

 The door opened and Rand saw a hooded figure almost gracefully slide
in. The face revealed to be Moiraine as she pulled the hood back. The
clothing however was a startling one. It was a pure white cloak that
seemed to flow without a single wrinkle anywhere within his sight,
framed with red triangle like patterns embroidered along the edges. A
big broach was clasped under the neck with an almost equally big jewel.
He couldn�t place what kind of jewel it was as it sparked with an almost
mysterious light of purple as the same color of the jewel. *What is she
trying to do?*

 "Hello there Rand, how are you feeling today?" She gave him a bright
cheerful smile. Idly she plucked out the crown clinging on the rack.
"The crown of swords," she mused. "It doesn�t look so comfortable, do
you really have to wear this?"

 Rand frowned; he didn�t want to play her game. She was a master at it
and he was better to be straightforward and get to the end of it fast.
"What do you want, Moiraine."

 "Want? I want to see you in good health. You look very grim and perhaps
in pain. If there�s anything I could help you with; I ask, please tell
me." She never once skipped a beat and never once lost her smile.

 What was she getting at, Moiraine always wanted him in good health,
after all she had said the world depended on him, but nothing is ever
gotten at first glance with Aes Sedai. "I�m fine" He would not rely on
any Aes Sedai. *Maybe, if I could trust you�maybe�*

 "You don�t look it and I don�t feel it," She slowly closed her eyes,
took a deep breath, and opened them just as slowly. Her voice suddenly
dropped to an uncomfortable level. "I know you don�t seem to trust me,
and you are hurting. I will help you with what I can and my agenda would
not change if you don�t accept it.  I�ll be looking at the wonderful
palace scenery, and yes I will be trailing behind you."

 Almost as gracefully she stepped out of the room and without a sound
the door closed. *Still Aes Sedai you are Moiraine*

    < OH MY! >

 Ranma leaned back on his bed. After a little run around with Siuan, he
had a good breakfast, though not as filling as he would of wished, and
now he was packing to get back to some main Aes Sedai camp. *That women
is almost as violent and unbelieving as Akane* He suppose he should go
through with it, if still having to stick with the violent tomboy. He
now also had the option of going home if he could find Moiraine�s twin
again.

 Stretching his sense he picked out Moiraine not from where he lied.
"Could you explain what Siuan meant by this channeling-mathingy that got
Siuan got all bent out of shape?"

 "It is quite a serious thing that you stumbled on, though Siuan always
did have a nasty temper. Any of my sisters would be angry." Moiraine
stood there a presence of calm and serenity even with the rude way of
asking Ranma had made.

"She does not understand your powers, she relates them with the male
channelers that channel the one power. The men with black cloaks that
you fought a few days ago."

 "She afraid of those sorcerers, eh."

    < OH MY! >

Lan looked at Ranma with a sword hold out towards him. "You should keep
it, it�ll help you when you need it most."

 "I don�t need it. I got my marital arts to protect Siuan. I don�t need
a sword to help me" Lan nodded, the boy seemed determined on this. He
had heard those two would be going back to the rebel Aes Sedai with
little chance they would have to face shadowspawn. Even if they did, Lan
felt the boy�s skills would do as well as any sword.

    < OH MY! >

 Looking at the gateway, he was ready.

 "I saw you fight, you are very good. Maybe we will dance someday wet
lander," the red head girl with the ponytail said to him with a toothily
grin.

 He shuddered, it reminded him of some very familiar images. *I don�t
know why you want a dance, but no way* leading his horse a bit faster he
went through.

    < OH MY! >

 The gateway slowly parted slowly falling like folding curtains back to
the surrounding normal view. Ranma knew a little of where they were
going, but being dropped off in the middle of nowhere was still odd.
Suddenly he felt a powerful spike from his senses. A strangely familiar,
but unknown aura. Then it was clear with the all too familiar phrase.

 "RANMA! PREPARE TO DIE!"

 Whirling around with some surprise in his face there he was, Ryouga
charging head on at him with full speed. There were some differences
though; he knew that much at a brief glance. There was an extremely
powerful aura around him, a dark one. Then everything happened at once.

 "SHI SHI HOKODAN!"
 "WATCH OUT!"

 Ranma pivoted with all his speed snatching a surprised Siuan to the
nearby ground. It was almost second instinct now to protect his Aes
Sedai from any harm. The power of that chi blast was much more powerful
then the usual ones he took from Ryouga. Rolling to safely he quickly
turned and went after his opponent also heading fast towards him. "Get
cover! I�ll handle this!"

 Siuan didn�t believe this; A rugged boy suddenly voiced the death of
her warder out of nowhere. The startling thing had been that the boy was
glowing a sickly yellow dark green aura. Before she could do anything
something large shot toward her at rapid speed only to be saved by
Ranma. Now he was off to fight the person. *That simple minded fool!*
With a great yell She called for Ranma to stop. *He�s going after a male
channeler of all things. Even worse, one gone mad!* unconsciously she
should of taught him the proper way to subdue male channelers.

 Ranma after the first glance at Ryouga knew something was wrong. His
face was the usual "I�m going to kill you while depressed" face, but
there was a lack of consciousness in it, almost as if he was in a trance
or so far gone, nothing registered. The large aura around him was
another indicator. Extreme emotions filled him, so much of hate, anger,
and depression could be felt, it left room for anything else.

  "Hey Ryouga, snap out of it, you almost killed a girl!" No response;
something was very wrong.

 Resign to beating him into consciousness, Ranma met his opponent and
ducked under the expected punch to the head. Then the unexpected
happened. A shearing pain slammed into him as he staggered back. *What!*
Grunting he pivoted off a sidekick already in motion. Another hit
slammed into him, this time he staggered and fell. Rolling to the side
he gave a flying leap back to a farther safer distance. It had been a
good thing too as a small crater was imprinted on the ground he stood
with Ryouga�s fist still there.

 Siuan watched Ranma run head on like a puffed up Fish ready to be
gutted. She had already embraced the source, it would not be a good
thing to face a male channeler gone mad.  She was no match for the
strength of Males who wielded Sadin and at her current level, it would
next to impossible. Males were more powerful then females in the one
power as much as very Aes Sedai hated to admit, and hers was as low as
most Aes Sedai could be. Watching Ranma get closed to being killed she
wove a weave of spirit as powerful as she could make it and threw it
toward the glowing boy hoping he was weak enough that he wouldn�t
resist. It hadn�t resisted to her surprise it vanished before it
reached. *What!*

 Quickly she wove air to bind, which also mysteriously vanished in front
of him. Air had been the strongest of her powers and it was useless.
Fear ran through her body as the ground suddenly shook making a crater
around the boy. *How could this be happening!*
Stumbling back the boy seemed to be ignoring her completely.

 Ranma winced at the wounds he took somehow after clearly avoiding the
punch, but still it had hit him. *Was this some kind of technique Ryouga
learned? Maybe he gone mad from it somehow* Ranma deduced that somehow
Ryouga had extended his chi through his attacks to hit him even if he
avoided the actual attack. *I will not be beaten just because he thinks
he found a new weapon to beat me*

 Surging his battle aura to increase he leaped up for a deadly actuate
flying jump kick towards him. *I�m going to have to be more careful with
his attacks* Ryouga blocked the kick, but a second spinning mid air foot
almost instantly smashed into his ribs. To Ranma�s surprised not a
single grunt came out from it. With next to no hesitation he ducked also
bracing the expected side effects of Ryouga�s wild punch.

 "KAA!" With a yell a full twenty punches shot out to Ryouga�s stomach.
Nothing happened.

 Suian had little choice but to stand there as her warder engaged in
battle. She could do nothing and trying to shoot off fire or anything of
that nature would mostly likely hit Ranma too. *We should not be
fighting a mad channeler in the first place. One should get more sisters
to handle him* When she yelled for him to get back, he just told her
he�d handle it. Surprisingly Ranma was doing fairly well against the boy
and also surprisingly he too possessed a similar sort of barehanded
fighting skill. Unless her eyes were mistaking, Ranma also had a bright
blue aura around him, she kept telling herself it was a trick of her
mind or something.

 Ranma winced as he embraced another hit from Ryouga�s new technique;
his attacks were doing even less then normal damage. Nothing registered
that could indicate any hurting. Even in Ryouga�s depression state, he
took a grunt here and there, now not even a twitch of an eye was made.
*Could he have toughen up so much or his new technique do this?*
Ryouga�s aura was startling now, much more then he could make himself,
surely Ryouga couldn�t of advanced so much from the last time they met.
*He�s doesn�t even know he�s exhausting himself. For the pig boy�s own
good I have to take him down fast.*

 He knew it was a downward fight as he was only exhausting himself too,
he decided to hit him with everything he had. Sprinting unexpected
toward Ryouga�s extended punch he felt a scorching pain as he narrowly
evaded.

 "KACHU TENSHIN AMAGURIKEN!"
 "MOKO TAKABISHA!"
 "MOKO TAKABISHA!"
 "MOKO TAKABISHA!"

 Without a moment of hesitation Ranma followed his amaguriken with a
powerful chi blast to his opponent�s abdomen, followed by another, and
then another, each bigger and more powerful then before. The last one he
thrown had made a small cloud of dust. Panting he was satisfied with
from the finally grunt that came with the flying Ryouga. Then though he
was unprepared when he was slammed by him running out of the cloud.

 "BAKUSAI TENKETSU!"

 Ranma desperately put his hands up to shield against the flying shards
of hard ground and rock that flew everywhere. Then he went flying as a
flying kick caught him in the chest. It was a very powerful direct hit.
He could dimly hear Siuan screamed out his name as he hit something from
his flight.

 "Ranma!" Siuan yelled out as the body of her warder was sent flying
into some dried, dead trees. She could also feel the pain he was in, so
much that it could of mean death. He wasn�t dead though, the bond told
her that much. Taking some advantage of the moment, she wove a fireball
that was sent towards her unsuspecting objective, she didn�t stop at
that as another was followed, she wasn�t taking any chances. It struck,
but it barely smudged the clothing. She felt a great amount a fear
rising above the already existing ones. Only years of mental exercise
keep her from running as of now, weaving air into earth, a bolt of
lighting that rivaled the amount she could wield lashed out. (In other
less flowery words close to being burned out)

 Stumbling around while shielding his eye�s Ryouga face was suddenly of
frightful rage.

 "SHI SHI HOKODAN!"

 She yelled as she threw herself to the side with the extra push from
the passing blast that followed with a loud explosion. Rolling on the
hard ground she struggle to push herself back up bracing the pain and
the low ringing in her ears.

 "KAA!!"

 A speeding air kick empowered with the full power Ranma gave it took an
unsuspecting Ryouga�s head. He was satisflied that it had sent him
soaring a short distance. This was getting too much, his full power did
little and now everyone was in danger. It was time for the Hiryu Shoten
Ha. He was a little fearful of it after last time and with Ryouga�s
blazing aura it could happen again. He couldn�t calculate the safe
distance Siuan needed, but it was the only thing left and done now.
"Siuan get away from here now!"

  The clouds were gathering now. Everything was getting darker and
Rumbles from the sky could sparsely be heard. With a grim smirk he
barked out, "Yo, Pig-boy you gone so low as to go after defenseless
women. Come on let�s end this. I�m going to make bacon out of you."

 The bandanna-clad boy needlessly was already upon him as he started his
circle. Pain was sent across his body each time he narrowly avoided a
punch, slowly he needed to keep his concentration and bracing the
attacks at the same time.

 Siuan slowing tried to get to her feet, the fool was going to  throw
himself away to save her. It was honorable, but foolish, as running away
in the first place would have been the better course of action. She was
going to do something very foolish too, this menace needed to be put
down, and she didn�t think she could run very far in her condition. The
horses had already ran away. The clouds for the first time in months had
gather too, but she couldn�t care less for that right now.

 Slowing she strained to hold onto the source. It was never meant to be
use this way, no one would ever be stupid enough to try, but after
seeing what could happen, she hope she�ll live to curse herself and the
fool boy who would be her warder.

 Weaving a simple flow of air and fire, a warm mist started to surround
the area. She had chosen her strongest element and wide spreading weave
to do this. She could not think she could weave a gateway with her
power. Then she plucked a strand of air loose. It felt slippery. The
Aiel girl had mention that, though not to her. The botched unweaving of
the gateway away from the Seanchan had caused an explosion very powerful
and very big. She had heard stories of explosions by unweaving. Now she
was going to try to do it on purpose. *Oh light let us live through
this!* Slowly she pulled another one, and pulled another.

 Ranma was almost there, into the center, and Ryouga�s still following.
He also felt a bit more damped, but he could not tell. *Closer, closer�*
He was calm and already concentrating the power for a full Hiryu Shoten
Ha.

 Siuan was almost there, it was already very slippery and barley able to
hold on too. *A boat in a whirlpool can only swim in and hope to get out
after it�s been suck in*

 "Now!" Siuan screamed out in the heat of the moment.
 "HIRYU SHOTEN HA!" Ranma cried.

 A Great surge of wind blasted out of Ranma�s hand, swirling, picking up
everything from rock to dirt. The Tornado spun higher and wilder,
sucking everything including them in. It was a mad twister on the loose,
still gathering more power and more speed. It started to expand and then
compact as it almost started to become a circular band of wind. Slowly
it died down and the sky rained. The ground below was lumped up and
cleared from everything, like a big round plate holding two human forms.

    < OH MY! >

 "Moiraine, do you accept my proposal to be my advisor? I have to talk
to the council about the army out on the countryside." Rand caught
Moiraine looking out a balcony. He was trailed by his two Asha�man. He
had warned them not to do anything to Moiraine.

 She turned and smiled at him, then the unexpected thing happened.
Moiraine went limb and fell into his arms.

    < OH MY! >

A SD figure clasped in a cloak of pure white, with some red decorations
along the edges walks out. SD throws away a couple of scattered notes.

 "Why are there so many women with Ranma? I would like to know too."

 "Unweaving, you pull a little here and there and it either disappears
or blows up in your face. Kinda like everything else in life."

 "The end! Wait� that was a cliff-hanger, dang."

Author's babbles:

    Ahh another chapter... I don't know who actually wants to read this,
but it's still moving. Welling pig stickers to keep me moving. (aka more
replies) And for unknown reasons I just have to stick in cliff-hangers.
Yes yes mass distruction grammical fixes are most wellcomed too. As far
as I'm concerned, everyone who reads it is a pre-reader.
