Blood Wars
Book I: Children of the Blood.
Somewhere in Chicago, U.S.A.
"The time has come for the next generation to demonstrate their worthiness in
the honored tradition of our kind. All Dominus of less than 100 years age
shall leave the enclaves and compete for their survival unto the next
millenium."
"The Dominus shall each be granted 10 servitors for a period of one week, at
the end of seven days all servitors shall return to their enclaves.
Dominus must select their battlegrounds swiftly, and with the help of the
servitors acquire at least one Dominae by the end of the week. Choose well,
for it is through the Dominae that the true power of the Blood shows its
power of survival."
"Tradition allows that this is the only time that a new Dominus clan line can
be established. Any Dominus that triumphs over all other Dominus in the
chosen territory shall be proclaimed Lord of the Blood for that area."
"Only human females of between the ages of 15 and 19 are allowed for
harvesting. The maximum allowed limit is 6 per Dominus. Any violation of
the human hunting laws will be punished severely. There is no limit on
human males."
"Dominus battles are not to be to extinction unless proper declaration is
made beforehand. Dominus battles over status, territory, or valued Dominae
are to be until loss of 50% combat potential."
"May the superior bloodline prevail and good hunting."
Prologue -
Chapter One:
Ranma stared up at the ceiling.
The sound of a humming machine filled the air as dust motes slowly drifted
across his sight.
He could not move, he could not talk, and he couldn't even blink his eyes.
He could feel a strange burning sensation in his muscles and he felt his mind
becoming distant from his own body.
"You may move your head and listen to what I am going to say."
This voice came from his left and suddenly he could move his head.
Sitting in a chair by his side was a man of about 30 years age. He was
dressed in a business suit with one sleeve rolled up. Two tubes ran from his
arm to a machine on a table. Two other tubes ran from the machine to Ranmas
arm.
"I expect that you are wondering where you are and how you got here."
"Your short term memory has already vanished and will never fully return.
Fortunately once you have crossed over your mind will work fine again.
Basically I wanted the best young female martial artist in all of Nerima.
That is you. I have been looking for you for 4 days, and only managed to
acquire by accident. My servitors found you by the side of a canal in a
large impact crater."
"All I know about you is that your name is Ranma and that you are the best in
all of Nerima. When we have more time we shall discuss your past in detail,
what is important is your new future."
"You have the honor of being chosen to join the Blood clans and become my
first Dominae. With your help I shall soon have all 6 Dominae that I am
allowed and together we shall overcome all the Dominus who would challenge
me."
"No doubt you are filled with anger and hate right now. Perhaps you wish to
punish me for what is happening. That will soon change. Normally it takes 2
days to cross over from human to Dominae, but with modern medical science it
is now possible to shorten the time to 4 hours.
How? Through the blood."
"With modern medical research we now know the Blood came to be because of a
fluke of chance. Have you heard of the Black Plague that swept through the
European continent long ago? That was the Blood.
A disease that killed so many eventually mutated into a symbiotic lifeform
that makes the Blood clans superior to all humans."
"I am draining all my blood into your body while transferring your blood into
mine. My blood is filled with the disease that transforms humans into
something better, since you are female you will become Dominae. Only males
can be Dominus, and only the Dominus can rule the blood. As a Dominae you
will be stronger, faster, smarter and immune to disease and drugs. However
you will also be filled with the need to serve the Dominus. Your mind and
personality will be intact but it will change, filled with image of the
Dominus you will soon call master."
"You will eagerly do anything to make me happy. All other loyalties will be
sublimated to your desire to please me. Every time you obey my orders you
will feel pleasure, any harm or distress to me will cause you pain."
"Only with my death will you change your loyalties, and then they will
transfer to the first Dominus whose pheromones you smell."
"Our first course of action will be to recruit the other 5 Dominae, I will
leave the choices up to you, but I want at least 2 more combat capable
Dominae. Don't forget that physical strength is not the only thing to look
for. Unfortunately accelerating your cross over has weakened me
And you will be on your own for at least a few days."
"You may come across other Dominus soon, the major difference between Dominus
and humans is that Dominus are not distracted by morals or petty laws. We do
what we have to, to protect what we consider is ours."
"It has been about 4 hours now since I began the blood transfusion, how do
you feel Ranma?"
Ranma felt her muscles suddenly loosen and relax, in an instant everything
that she felt or knew changed.
The newborn Dominae stretched and smiled.
"I feel wonderful master, and I know just who the perfect choice is for the
other Dominae also. Once they have crossed over as well I am sure that they
will serve you just as well as I shall."
"I am the best and no one shall stop you from having whatever you want,
master."
End Chapter One.
Chapter Two.
The first choice was obvious to Ranma. Now that Ranma had become a Dominae,
she found that she could think things through both faster and with more
depth. Her master was weak for the moment so she needed other skilled
females that could fight. Shampoo would do just fine.
Her need to recruit multiple Dominae eliminated the use of the blood
transfusion machine, this meant using the old fashioned way. The knowledge
and needed skills of a Dominae came to her with ease. This was the result of
the virus that now lived in her body. Giving her a sort of race memory that
included knowledge from former Dominae who had once hosted the blood.
The master's servitors would only be available for one more day. She had
them acquire a safe house for the master and a new location for the crossing
over of the new Dominae to come. She would use the current building to draw
in her targets.
Brinngg. Brinngg. Brinngg.
"Hello, Nekohanten home of best Chinese food in Nerima."
"Hey Shampoo this is Ranma, the tomboy just punted me across nerima because I
told her that her food could kill an ox. If you bring me something to eat
while I recover I'll take you to a movie or sumpthin, wadda ya say?"
"Aayahh! Shampoo say yes. Give address and Shampoo bring too delicious
supper to Ranma!"
Twenty minutes later...
"Come on in Shampoo, this warehouse ain't much but its empty and a place we
can eat."
"Airen eat food Shampoo bring. Lots better than violent girls food."
"Sure thing Shampoo, you would not believe just how hungry I am right now."
"AIREN! You're eyes, they change color, they gold now not blue."
"Well what do you know, oh well random side effects sometimes happen while
crossin over. Now Shampoo it is time for you to visit dreamland."
With a speed that is almost faster than the eye can track, Ranma strikes
Shampoo in three precise spots. Before Shampoo can react the sleep shiatsu
spots that Ranma has struck take effect. Shampoo slumps unconscious to the
floor.
Ranma then bends down over Shampoo and open her mouth wide. Two large canine
teeth expand to sharp points from her mouth. Cradling Shampoos body in her
arms she bites down on Shampoos neck. Using one tooth to draw blood and the
other to place her own blood in shampoos body.
After 10 minutes she removes her fangs from Shampoos neck and licks the
throat clean with her tongue. Ranma knows that it will now take about 2 days
for Shampoo to cross over as a Dominae. She gets on the phone and has the
servitors move Shampoo to the new warehouse chosen for the 2-day wait.
Next she makes a new call.
"Hello Uuchan? Yeah it's me Ranma. The tomboy booted me out again and I'm
starvin. Theres some things I want to talk to you about in private. Could
you bring some food and leave Konatsu in charge for a while? You will?
Great, I'm down at an old warehouse, heres the address."
Ranma smirks as the servitors take Shampoo out.
"Heh, I'll have my masters Dominae done and waiting so fast that his head
will spin. Ukyo will be easy. After that the tomboy for more brute muscle
and head stomping. And I know just who to recruit for brains and underhanded
sneakiness. Maybe I should add Kasumi to the list, I always thought she was
hiding what she could really do. Plus the Tendo sisters would make a nice
complete set. Decisions, decisions, what to do and how to do it."
"After I recruit Ukyo I better move to new spot, wouldn't want Mousse or the
old ghoul to find me to soon. The dojos too obvious, maybe an apartment?"
Ranma sits down to wait, hoping that Uuchan would get there soon.
End Chapter Two.
Chapter Three.
Cologne was beginning to worry. Shampoo had gone with a meal to son-in-law
more than 3 hours ago. She had sent Mousse after her after the second hour
with no sign of Shampoo. Her instincts were screaming that something was
wrong.
She picked up the phone and made a call.
"Hello Kasumi, do you know where Ranma is? Your sister cooked dinner? Could
I speak to Nabiki please?"
"Hello Nabiki, I wish to purchase any information you have on Ranma current
location. You don't know? Konatsu called asking about Ranma and Ukyo? We
may have a problem, keep your family there and I will come over to discuss
the situation."
Mousse bursts into the Nekohanten.
"Shampoo is gone! I can not find her or saotome anywhere. The address you
gave me is empty. The only thing that I found was trash from Shampoos meal
and some take out boxes from Uuchans. He has kidnapped my true love with the
help of his friend ukyo."
Cologne whacks mousse on the head with her staff.
"Fool, ukyo would never help Ranma try to stay with shampoo. Ranma has too
much honor to harm either girl. It must be a trap of some kind with Ranma as
bait. We must go to the tendos immediately; whoever is doing this is
targeting Ranma fianc�es. Akane is the next target. When she is attacked we
will track her to where shampoo and son-in-law are. Come, we have wasted too
much time already."
Together they travel to the Tendo Dojo.
End Chapter Three.
Chapter Four.
The Tendos, Mr. and Mrs. Saotome, Mousse, and Cologne have gathered at the
Tendo dining room. After explaining what has happened to both Shampoo and
Ukyo they agree to watch out for any attempts on Akane. Because of this
mousse and cologne will stay the night, Konatsu is called and promises to be
over as soon as the Uuchans is closed up.
Nabiki gets on the phone and starts contacting her people. They would be
looking for all three and call her as soon as they had any information.
Kasumi fixes a light snack and serve everyone tea.
Mr. Tendo and Mr. Saotome bemoan that with Ranma gone that there houses will
never be joined.
Mrs. Saotome sharpens her sword.
Akane goes to the Dojo and smashes bricks while muttering.
"Bakka, Bakka, Bakka, always getting in trouble."
Night slowly settles over the Tendo household.
Brinngg. Brinngg. Brinngg.
"Hello? Nabiki it's for you. One of your little friends wants to talk to
you."
"Yeah, what do you have? Ranma fighting a bunch of gaigin near furinken
high? Thanks, we're on our way."
"Come on everyone, Ranma fighting a bunch of gaigin at furinken, if he is
there then so must shampoo and uuchan."
Everyone rushes out except Kasumi to furinken high.
10 minutes later...
A car pulls up to the Dojo and two men dressed in black suits walk up to the
house.
"Hello, can I help you?"
"Are you Kasumi Tendo?"
"Why yes I am. How can I help you?"
"A doctor tofu called us to pick you up, it would seem that a young woman by
the name of shampoo was found unconscious. He tried the Nekohanten but
nobody was home. He would like someone that she knows be there when she
recovers."
"Oh my, so that is what happened to poor shampoo. Of course I will come,
just let me leave a note for my family."
Kasumi enters the car and it drives off.
Meanwhile at Furinken High School.
The group arrives at the school to find it empty and deserted. While
everyone looks for clues a figure gestures to Nabiki in the shadows.
"Sorry boss, but right after I got off the phone with you they ran into the
school with Ranma chasing them. They should still be in there."
"Good work sakurya, keep an eye on this side of the school."
"You got it boss."
Nabiki tells the gang where Ranma and the gaigin are. She will watch the
back of the school for any movement.
Nabiki reaches some shadows and watches the school. Soon she hears the sound
of yells and combat from within. Then a hand taps her on the shoulder.
"Well, well, who do we have here? And I thought getting you away from the
others was going to be hard. Hello there Nabiki, how ya doin?"
"Ranma? What are you doing here? You're in the school."
"Nope, although your little spy probably thinks so. Bet you never knew that
I could recognize almost all of your little cronies by now. You have them
watch me all the time Nabiki, did you think I was dense?"
"What are you doing Ranma? Where is shampoo and ukyo?"
"I'm collecting people one at a time. I got shampoo, ukyo, you and by now
Kasumi. Oh don't worry nobodies goin to get hurt or nuthin.
Everyone is just going to change a little bit. Oh and if you want to know
who is fighting in the school, I just called Kuno and told him that the foul
sorcerer saotome has enspelled all the tendos and are coming to capture me.
I told him that I had broken free of saotomes evil enchantments and that it
would take him and his kendo club to save me. About time that idiot did
something useful, and he sure is a good distraction. Nighty night biki-chan."
Three sharp blows strike Nabiki from the shadows, as the darkness sweeps over
her she sees Ranma step out and grab her. Ranma eyes were glowing gold.
"Okay hammer girl, your next."
End Chapter Four.
Chapter Five.
Things were looking bad. Very bad.
They were all back at the Tendo Dojo. After stomping Kuno and his kendo club
they had discovered that Nabiki was missing. After searching for an hour
they finally came back home. To a note.
A quick call to Dr. Tofu had confirmed their fears that Kasumi had been taken
as well. Mr. Tendo was crying and asking what anyone could want with his
poor daughters. Mrs. Saotome was looking grim and speaking quietly to
cologne. Mousse was out trying to find clues.
Konatsu was in the kitchen brewing tea.
Akane went to her room and began to cry. Her sisters were gone. She had
failed a duty she had taken on when her mother died. She had sworn that no
one would hurt her family. Kasumi, Nabiki, she failed them, they weren't the
fighter of the family. She was.
She also cried for Ranma, although she could not say it aloud, she had known
that she truly loved him. She was also scared. Scared that anyone who could
take down Ranma, shampoo, and ukyo would have no trouble with her.
"Akane, sshhh, don't yell. Its me, Ranma."
Akane froze, looking with tear filled eyes at the shape at her window. She
ran over and opened it, dragging Ranma in and hugging her with all of her
strength.
"Ranma I was so afraid, you were gone and then everyone else. I don't know
what to do. What's happened?"
"Don't worry Akane, I'm here. I would never let anything happen to my
favorite tomboy."
"Heh, its you all right, only you could insult me while cheering me up."
"Aaawww jeez Akane, you know I really like you. I wish we had time to talk,
but we have to hurry if we want to save the others."
"What's going on Ranma, who's doing this?"
"I'll tell you on the way. We have to go now. They are watching all the
adults down stairs; I barely snuck by their watchers outside. If we don't do
this now we wont have another chance for another 2 days. C'mon and don't
make a sound, I will carry us across the roofs to where we gotta go."
"Are you sure we can do this alone Ranma? What about help?"
"If we move fast we can get to the others before they make their move on you.
With all of us together I know we can beat anyone."
Akane and Ranma move silently onto the roof. Then Ranma picks up Akane and
starts leaping through the night. Unknown to both Ranma and Akane a silent
figure watches and follows from a distance.
Ranma swiftly reaches an older warehouse that occupies an older area of
Nerima that is seldom used anymore. Sneaking in quietly they search the
warehouse until they come across a row of cots. Lying on the cots is all of
the missing girls. They appear to be in a deep sleep.
Akane goes over and tries to wake them up. She fails, the sleep continues
uninterrupted.
"Ranma, they won't wake up. Help me."
"Don't worry Akane, they are fine. In fact in 2 days they will be in better
shape than ever before. When they finally cross over and become Dominae,
they will be filled with purpose and strength. You are the last one that I
have chosen for the master. Be happy soon we will all be together in a new
way."
"Nooo. Ranma what has happened to you! You can't do this."
"Sorry Akane, but I can, and you will thank me for this when I am done."
Akane leaps forward and swings her mallet at Ranma. To her shock she easily
dodges it and knocks it out of Akane hands. The Ranma grins and strikes her
three times at her sleep shiatsu spots.
Ranma carries the sleeping Akane over to the last cot. As she lays her down
she gently brushes aside the hair on Akane face.
"Akane I love you so much, why is it now that I realize that you are the one
I would choose every time. Soon you will join us in pleasing the master, and
we can be together forever."
Ranma bends over and bite into Akane neck. She holds still for 10 minutes
then cleans up the neck and relaxes. Looking carefully an observer would
note that all of the girls have two bite marks on their neck.
Just as Ranma stands a figure in white bursts from the shadows and attacks
Ranma.
"You monster, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH SHAMPOO!"
"Yo duckboy, I wondered when you would show yerself."
"Die Ranma."
Chains, knives, blades, and even a kitchen sink fly out from Mousse.
They all miss. Ranma dodges with a speed that was almost impossible to
follow.
"Sorry Mousse but I am afraid that by finding us, you gotts to die. Give up
and I will make it quick and painless."
Staring at Ranma mousse realizes that Ranma is serious. Feeling desperate he
uses all that he has. But it is too late. Ranma let's loose with the knives
she has hidden in her clothes. Mousse dodges four, but the last six smashes
into him. Pinning him to the wall.
Feeling the life leave him, mousse tries one last attempt. He throws all the
egg grenades that he has on him, only to watch as Ranma easily hits them with
knives at long distance. With no hope left mousse tosses the only thing left
that can hurt Ranma. Five metal canisters fly towards Ranma. She takes them
out one at a time. They are filled with water and superheated steam.
Realizing her danger, Ranma dodges to the side.
But it is too late. Even as he dies, mousse hears the sound of Ranma
screaming. The scalding hot water washes over Ranma and fills her with pain.
Then the transformation happens. For a moment Ranma is glad to be in his
male form, pain is more easily stood. Then his blood begins to burn, and his
head almost explodes.
The Blood.
He was now male; the blood was making him Dominus. But he was already
Dominae. The pain was tearing him apart. As Ranma fell to the floor he
could already feel his body change. What would happen?

Together they travel to the Tendo Dojo.
End Chapter Three.
Chapter Four.
The Tendos, Mr. and Mrs. Saotome, Mousse, and Cologne have gathered at the Tendo dining room. After explaining what has happened to both Shampoo and Ukyo they agree to watch out for any attempts on Akane. Because of this mousse and cologne will stay the night, Konatsu is called and promises to be over as soon as the Uuchans is closed up.
Nabiki gets on the phone and starts contacting her people. They would be looking for all three and call her as soon as they had any information.
Kasumi fixes a light snack and serve everyone tea.
Mr. Tendo and Mr. Saotome bemoan that with Ranma gone that there houses will never be joined.
Mrs. Saotome sharpens her sword.
Akane goes to the Dojo and smashes bricks while muttering.
"Bakka, Bakka, Bakka, always getting in trouble."
Night slowly settles over the Tendo household.
Brinngg. Brinngg. Brinngg.
"Hello? Nabiki it's for you. One of your little friends wants to talk to you."
"Yeah, what do you have? Ranma fighting a bunch of gaigin near furinken high? Thanks, we're on our way."
"Come on everyone, Ranma fighting a bunch of gaigin at furinken, if he is there then so must shampoo and uuchan."
Everyone rushes out except Kasumi to furinken high.
10 minutes later...
A car pulls up to the Dojo and two men dressed in black suits walk up to the house.
"Hello, can I help you?"
"Are you Kasumi Tendo?"
"Why yes I am. How can I help you?"
"A doctor tofu called us to pick you up, it would seem that a young woman by the name of shampoo was found unconscious. He tried the Nekohanten but nobody was home. He would like someone that she knows be there when she recovers."
"Oh my, so that is what happened to poor shampoo. Of course I will come, just let me leave a note for my family."
Kasumi enters the car and it drives off.
Meanwhile at Furinken High School.
The group arrives at the school to find it empty and deserted. While everyone looks for clues a figure gestures to Nabiki in the shadows.
"Sorry boss, but right after I got off the phone with you they ran into the school with Ranma chasing them. They should still be in there."
"Good work sakurya, keep an eye on this side of the school."
"You got it boss."
Nabiki tells the gang where Ranma and the gaigin are. She will watch the back of the school for any movement.
Nabiki reaches some shadows and watches the school. Soon she hears the sound of yells and combat from within. Then a hand taps her on the shoulder.
"Well, well, who do we have here? And I thought getting you away from the others was going to be hard. Hello there Nabiki, how ya doin?"
"Ranma? What are you doing here? You're in the school."
"Nope, although your little spy probably thinks so. Bet you never knew that I could recognize almost all of your little cronies by now. You have them watch me all the time Nabiki, did you think I was dense?"
"What are you doing Ranma? Where is shampoo and ukyo?"
"I'm collecting people one at a time. I got shampoo, ukyo, you and by now Kasumi. Oh don't worry nobodies goin to get hurt or nuthin.
Everyone is just going to change a little bit. Oh and if you want to know who is fighting in the school, I just called Kuno and told him that the foul sorcerer saotome has enspelled all the tendos and are coming to capture me. I told him that I had broken free of saotomes evil enchantments and that it would take him and his kendo club to save me. About time that idiot did something useful, and he sure is a good distraction. Nighty night biki-chan."
Three sharp blows strike Nabiki from the shadows, as the darkness sweeps over her she sees Ranma step out and grab her. Ranma eyes were glowing gold.
"Okay hammer girl, your next."
End Chapter Four.
Chapter Five.
Things were looking bad. Very bad.
They were all back at the Tendo Dojo. After stomping Kuno and his kendo club they had discovered that Nabiki was missing. After searching for an hour they finally came back home. To a note.
A quick call to Dr. Tofu had confirmed their fears that Kasumi had been taken as well. Mr. Tendo was crying and asking what anyone could want with his poor daughters. Mrs. Saotome was looking grim and speaking quietly to cologne. Mousse was out trying to find clues.
Konatsu was in the kitchen brewing tea.
Akane went to her room and began to cry. Her sisters were gone. She had failed a duty she had taken on when her mother died. She had sworn that no one would hurt her family. Kasumi, Nabiki, she failed them, they weren't the fighter of the family. She was.
She also cried for Ranma, although she could not say it aloud, she had known that she truly loved him. She was also scared. Scared that anyone who could take down Ranma, shampoo, and ukyo would have no trouble with her.
"Akane, sshhh, don't yell. Its me, Ranma."
Akane froze, looking with tear filled eyes at the shape at her window. She ran over and opened it, dragging Ranma in and hugging her with all of her strength.
"Ranma I was so afraid, you were gone and then everyone else. I don't know what to do. What's happened?"
"Don't worry Akane, I'm here. I would never let anything happen to my favorite tomboy."
"Heh, its you all right, only you could insult me while cheering me up."
"Aaawww jeez Akane, you know I really like you. I wish we had time to talk, but we have to hurry if we want to save the others."
"What's going on Ranma, who's doing this?"
"I'll tell you on the way. We have to go now. They are watching all the adults down stairs; I barely snuck by their watchers outside. If we don't do this now we wont have another chance for another 2 days. C'mon and don't make a sound, I will carry us across the roofs to where we gotta go."
"Are you sure we can do this alone Ranma? What about help?"
"If we move fast we can get to the others before they make their move on you. With all of us together I know we can beat anyone."
Akane and Ranma move silently onto the roof. Then Ranma picks up Akane and starts leaping through the night. Unknown to both Ranma and Akane a silent figure watches and follows from a distance.
Ranma swiftly reaches an older warehouse that occupies an older area of Nerima that is seldom used anymore. Sneaking in quietly they search the warehouse until they come across a row of cots. Lying on the cots is all of the missing girls. They appear to be in a deep sleep.
Akane goes over and tries to wake them up. She fails, the sleep continues uninterrupted.
"Ranma, they won't wake up. Help me."
"Don't worry Akane, they are fine. In fact in 2 days they will be in better shape than ever before. When they finally cross over and become Dominae, they will be filled with purpose and strength. You are the last one that I have chosen for the master. Be happy soon we will all be together in a new way."
"Nooo. Ranma what has happened to you! You can't do this."
"Sorry Akane, but I can, and you will thank me for this when I am done."
Akane leaps forward and swings her mallet at Ranma. To her shock she easily dodges it and knocks it out of Akane hands. The Ranma grins and strikes her three times at her sleep shiatsu spots.
Ranma carries the sleeping Akane over to the last cot. As she lays her down she gently brushes aside the hair on Akane face.
"Akane I love you so much, why is it now that I realize that you are the one I would choose every time. Soon you will join us in pleasing the master, and we can be together forever."
Ranma bends over and bite into Akane neck. She holds still for 10 minutes then cleans up the neck and relaxes. Looking carefully an observer would note that all of the girls have two bite marks on their neck.
Just as Ranma stands a figure in white bursts from the shadows and attacks Ranma.
"You monster, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH SHAMPOO!"
"Yo duckboy, I wondered when you would show yerself."
"Die Ranma."
Chains, knives, blades, and even a kitchen sink fly out from Mousse.
They all miss. Ranma dodges with a speed that was almost impossible to follow.
"Sorry Mousse but I am afraid that by finding us, you gotts to die. Give up and I will make it quick and painless."
Staring at Ranma mousse realizes that Ranma is serious. Feeling desperate he uses all that he has. But it is too late. Ranma let's loose with the knives she has hidden in her clothes. Mousse dodges four, but the last six smashes into him. Pinning him to the wall.
Feeling the life leave him, mousse tries one last attempt. He throws all the egg grenades that he has on him, only to watch as Ranma easily hits them with knives at long distance. With no hope left mousse tosses the only thing left that can hurt Ranma. Five metal canisters fly towards Ranma. She takes them out one at a time. They are filled with water and superheated steam. Realizing her danger, Ranma dodges to the side.
But it is too late. Even as he dies, mousse hears the sound of Ranma screaming. The scalding hot water washes over Ranma and fills her with pain. Then the transformation happens. For a moment Ranma is glad to be in his male form, pain is more easily stood. Then his blood begins to burn, and his head almost explodes.
The Blood.
He was now male; the blood was making him Dominus. But he was already Dominae. The pain was tearing him apart. As Ranma fell to the floor he could already feel his body change. What would happen?
