			Dragon Knight Ranma
by Trevor Hoffert

Prologue

	Ranma had come across many half-baked and
failure cures that he was wary of anything claiming to
cure curses and such. This cure wasn't a true cure as
such but a banishment of his curse. The instructions
read that it would banish his most hated thing from his body.

	Thus on a quiet weekend with no distractions,
this being no one had bothered him for over an hour.
Ranma was able to complete most of the spell required
to complete the 'cure'. The last part of the spell
involved a small idol with three candles on it. The
instructions required the caster to cause the three
flames to form a circle. There were many ways for an
actual mage to do this. Ranma knew only one such way:
the Hiruu Shoten Ha (sp?).

	As fate would have it Ranma was interrupted
just as he finished the spell. This had the effect of
screwing up the spell. Ranma of course had failed to read
the Really Small Print (tm). The print mostly said
'the most common failure of the spell is a transport
spell but since you probably didn't read this, it's your fault'.

	Akane had for the most part been wondering where
Ranma was. At first she had checked around town at the
Amazon hussy's place, then at Ucchan's and final in the
Tendo Dojo. Akane entered just as Ranma finished the words
of the Hiruu Shoten Ha. The words on her lips died as she
watched as the resulting whirlwind formed at her best guess
a hole in the fabric of time and space. The downside of this
is she also seemed to be airborne.

	Ranma completed the final upercut to the Hiruu
Shoten Ha and watched in triumph as the flames began to
circle. Then as many cops say the excrement hit the fan.
Akane opened up the door and his concentraion was broken.
Then the hole that formed sucked Akane in. Ranma let loose a
scream of horror as Akane vanished. He rushed toward the
hole but some force slowed his progress. Ranma was a strong
person but he felt as if Ryoga was keeping from the hole.
Then something had to give either the force or Ranma.
Something did. Ranma saw the hole start to close. He
strained harder then he felt something tear and his world
went dark.
