The night sky was unusually Dark and Silent tonight carring a sense of dread and forebearing, all Nerima's Martial Artists felt it. They knew something powerful was coming putting them all on edge.

Three cloaked figures seemed to materilize from the shadows the tallest of the tree lead the two smaller ones quickly down the streets their feet bearly seemed to touch the ground as they leap through the air.

They stopped once again the tallest placing a gloved hand on a sign I've found you the figure whispered there feral red eyes glowing from under the shadow of the hood.

Without a second thought the figure took off again dissappearing in the night leaving the sign that read 'Tendo Dojo' behind.

The figures leap through the silent town no human or beast insight. The figures stopped infront the newest bulid dojo, its 7 foot stone walls and large black oak gates lummed above the three making the smaller two burrowed there way into the tallest cloak.

This is it my pets, our new home stated the figure as it strode forward and produced a key from the folds of its cloak and unlock the gate.

The tallest figure pushed the large double studded black gates open with ease and used the other hand to usher the smaller figures in, they rushed in and dissappeared into the darkness.

The tallest turned towards the town and reached a pair of gloved hands to its hood and pulled it down freeing a mass of green black hair that once stilled hung knee length. The soft glow of the moon illumnated the figures flawless tanned face, full ruby lips and garnet eyes that glowed like a feral beast.

The woman smiled her ruby lips lifting to expose white canined teeth Your days are number Genma Saotome! she said to the wind then disappeared into the shadows that seemed to surround her.

The only sounds that echoed into the night was the closing of huge oak doors and locks sliding into place.

Meanwhile, at the Tendo Dojo, in the room shared by Ranma and Genma, the large panda sat up shivers producing down his spine he lifted one paw that held a sign :I've got a bad feeling: before falling backwards and falling asleep his snores mixing with that of Ranmas.
