"I am death Ranma Saotome. You are the only man who has ever escaped my cold embrace. But I am never far away. I am always with you"

He heard the phone ring and went to answer it. The man on the other line told him that something was happing down by the mudflats. However, all he cared about was the name that came with the information.

"Something tells me that the Octopus might be in on it".

As soon as he heard that name, he grabbed his suit and his mask and answered, "I'm on my way".

As he leaped over the rooftops and ran down back alleys, he thought to himself. My city. She's always there for me. Every night, she's there for me. She's an old and proud city. She's my sweetheart, my plaything. She doesn't hide what she is. She is my love, she is my life, and I am her Spirit.

He then heard a woman screaming.

Damn, I've got no time for this.


First of all, I'd like to say that I'm doing the chapters based on the chapters from the dvd so, some of them may be short while others will be long. I know this chapter is very short and I apologize. I'll have another one up asap.

Here is the complete cast list for for the fic and my reasons for picking them. Oh and other Ranma characters may make small cameo's during the fic.

Ranma Saotome-The Spirit----Ranma tends to atract crazy people and has 3 fiances and 1 stalker. The spirit atracts all women and many crazy people live around him. This was an obvious choice.

Akane Tendo-Ellen Dolan-----Ellen is the spirits main girlfriend and we all know that Ranma truly loves Akane.

Soun Tendo-Commissioner Dolan-----Ellens dad, Akane's Dad.

Tatewaki Kuno-The Octopus-----The Octopus has a god complex and what other nerima resident thinks higher of himself.

Kasumi Tendo-Lorelei Rox-----This one was more random than anything else

Nabiki Tendo-Silken Floss-----They both seem to talk with a very bored manner of speech. Nabiki love money and what better way to get money than team up with the Octopus

Ukyo Kuonji-Sand Seraf----Sand knew the spirit when they were kids and Ukyo knew Ranma when they were kids.

Shampoo-Morgenstern-----Mostly because Shampoo was one of the only ranma girls left. And I don't think Ranma would find Shampoo's voice as comforting as Kasumi's in the face of death AKA lorlei.

Kodachi Kuno-Plaster of Paris-----Both of them are the strangest women Ranma/the Spirit will ever meet.

Sasuke-The henchmen-----Origanily it was going be Genma but I changed it to the kuno family "ninja" because he seemed to fit the roll more.
