It's Genma's (And Soun's) Operation: Save Tokyo!
Kuno-Baby
"Oh my," Kasumi said, impressed. "You must have come a long way."
Two men in black suits and sunglasses merely stared impassively at her, then at the door as a commotion made itself evident through noise in the hallway.
"C'mon pops, whatever you did this time, you better own up to it." Ranma said, growling, as he pushed Genma and Soun through the doorway and into the dining room.
Genma and Soun kneeled before the table, and as soon as one of the guests opened his mouth, Genma began to speak nervously. "I swear to god it wasn't me at that temple last Thursday!"
"Uh," the man replied, "That's not what we're here about."
"We were both here at midnight last Sunday! Playing shogi! We have witnesses that'll swear to it!" Soun blurted out.
"That's not it either." The other one said.
"Er, neither of you happen to have a tragically affianced daughter?" Genma asked hopefully.
"No. In fact, sir, we were just coming here to ask Mr. 'City-Councilman' Tendo if he knew where the so called 'Super Combatants' of Nerima are, alias the 'Wrecking Crew' or the 'Furinkan High Kendo Club.'"
"Er, what for?" Soun asked.
"This is a bit of a military secret, but it will be in the open soon enough. We're taking candidates from all over Japan to become the new, government backed superheros of Japan."
Genma's eyes seemed to glow as he stuttered out "S-superheros?"
"There are incidents of destruction no mere policeman can cope with! Even the defense force can't deal with some of them! Japan can't rely on civilian heroes like we've been doing. We need an official, responsible team of agents that can deal with monsters and danger unlike any mortal criminal!" The agent wiped his mouth and sat down, having stood up for his burst of speech. His partner looked at him strangely.
"Monsters and danger? Uh, you might be looking for my son, Ranma, he's good at dealing with monsters and dan-" Genma was interrupted halfway through his last word by a shout from the kitchen.
"Father! Mr. Saotome! What do you want to eat for dinner? I've decided to try cooking tonight!" Akane screeched from down the hall.
Soun looked at Genma, Genma looked at Soun, and the two came to a simultaneous decision. "Look no farther, gentlemen, for we are the strongest among the super combatants of Nerima! We will become your superheroes and face any danger!" Genma yelled. Soun silently added "Except Akane's dinner selection…"
"Very good. If you'll come outside to our limo, we can discuss the necessary arrangements." The agents stood and walked out, Genma and Soun trailing behind.
"You'll include meals for shifts we work, right?" Genma haggled as he shut the front door.
Ranma stared at the door, then looked at Akane, already bringing in several plates piled high with what appeared to be purple, blue and green egg rolls.
