Part 2: The Ice Queen Vs Ragnarock

The next day at Furinkan was the usual, Kuno got kicked high into the sky, a quick battle between Ranma and Miss Hinako which resulted in Ranma being low on ki, Happosai raiding the girls locker room only to run into Ranma and after a short battle he threw his loot at him.
After the third period Ranma was sitting on his favourite spot, on the branch of a tree.
"Man do I have a bad day. I mean, yeah it wasn't unusual but I'm getting fed up with this. No news about that gang either, Ryoga is gone for who knows how long..." Ranma wanted to continue his rambling when he heard gasps and yells coming from the front gate. He turned his head and saw someone he didn't want to, then a laugh that could be called maniacal in the least made him sure he wasn't imagining things.
"Great... here is the other Kuno... just what I needed. After beating the other two, Kodachi appears so why not complete my list and let the mother appear as well!?" Just as he thought he was safe from being detected his eyes caught Kodachi coming towards him.
He wanted to escape but she was already hugging him when he was standing.
"Ranma-sama! I have yearned to see you once again! But alas this is not why I have come to you." This one sentence irked Ranma's curiosity enough to make him stay and listen.
"Just an hour ago, low born hoodlums dared to trespass on the holy ground of Saint Hebeke where I am attending. They were yelling about the martial artist so almost everyone who knew even a bit of it appeared to meet them." The Kuno heiress's story sounded interesting for the pigtailed boy, this information meant that they were already in the area.
"The battle was quick but some of my school mates turned to the wicked ways after the hoodlums scattered... and I feared for your health, even thou you could without any problem dispatch." Hearing Kodachi worry for him really appealed to Ranma but he still felt that the girl is too crazy to stay around for long.
"So you think that they are targeting Furinkan next right, well I won't let that happen." Those words coming from her Ranma-sama made Kodachi smile and after bidding farewell she went towards her home.

Just as Ranma was ready to go home a familiar voice spoke to him.
"A moment of your time, Ranma-kun?"
"What is it Nabiki?"
"You know what's up. My outer contacts are having problems and I'm having trouble collecting what is mine."
"So a fall in YOUR income... and what should I do with YOUR mess?"
"I would chose my words carefully SAOTOME, when I'm having money problems it means less cash to spend on food, water and electricity. You are quite an expense for the first two." This made Ranma realize that maybe it wasn't the best time to pick a fight... especially with Nabiki.
"So what do you want me to do?"
"For now I want you to be ready when I say so. My subordinate will call in hour or two and regarding what she has to say you might have to spend you night doing what you do best." Nabiki thought it was interesting how Ranma's eyes started shining when she said those last words.

Once at home, Ranma was preparing himself for action, his blood was boiling at the thought of a fight. The recent fights with Ryoga or Mousse or whatever loony came to challenge him it wasn't much. True, Ryoga and Mousse DID get better but the two still have problems. Ryoga is still having control problems and Mousse is still to stupid to realize that using THE SAME attack patter is SCREAMING to be taken advantage of!
As he was in the dojo, doing basic katas to warm up and basic ki controlling techniques he felt someone watching him. He continued his warm up but while doing so he let out his ki sense to check out who was spying on him.
"(Happosai... what does that old fool want?)" Without stopping Ranma was sure that there was a bucket of cold water or two waiting for him. Just as he thought of the cold water his ears caught the sound of foot steps and he quickly jumped away.
The water that was meant for him was now on the floor a pleased smile sat on the old man's face.
"Well done Ranma. You are showing progress. So now, let this old man hug you as a gift!" Before Ranma could react Happosai threw the empty bucket at him and sent the one with water in it as well!
Anyone who knows Saotome Ranma, knows that he is fast and agile but even he wasn't fast enough to evade the water that seemingly changed it's path in the air. Before the redhead martial artist could say anything a familiar feeling told her where her 'master' was!
"GET OFF! GET OFF! GET OFF!" With a quick punch fuelled by 'female' rage the hit got close but it didn't connect with the old master. She was about to lash out to her behind when the she caught the old master standing not far from her and seemingly deep in thought. A moment later he clapped his hands and pulled out his mask.
"Sorry Ranma, I have something important to do now! Like freeing the poor forgotten underwear of the local woman!" With a mad cackle the old man bounded over the wall while singing something about panties.

After the quick fight with Happosai, Ranma still in his cursed form was ready to go and kick ass but Nabiki didn't arrive with the info. So the pigtailed girl took it on herself to ask her.
Standing outside Nabiki's window Ranma knocked on it first and waited a little before Nabiki opened it.
"Why are you here Ranma? Want to see something kinky maybe?" The way Nabiki talked made Ranma hesitate a little but this was important.
"No. You said that in one or two hour you would get a phone call!"
"Oh that. Well I did get a call but she only told me that she is still working on it and will be ready by tomorrow morning. So don't worry and believe me that you will be the first to know after me."
While the answer didn't please the redhead it was better than nothing. For now Ranma will do as he always does before dinner. Relaxing and training.

The next morning just a little after Kasumi was up and doing her morning chore Nabiki woke up and went to the guest room where the Saotome's lived. Silently moving not to wake up anyone else Nabiki started poking Ranma on his forehead. Suddenly Ranma's eyes opened and his eyes were locked onto Nabiki.
"You know Nabiki I don't mind that change of waking up but..."
"No time to talk Ranma. I have the place where you can kick ass without the need of taking names." Before her very eyes Nabiki witnessed the Saotome Musabetsu Kakutoryuu quick dressing technique and felt jealous of it.
"You have to teach me this one move." Ranma only responded to that with a smile.

Walking out of the house Nabiki gave Ranma a map, that had the locations circled.
"Wait... you didn't tell me that there isn't only one place!"
"Too much for you the big martial artist to handle? Then I'll call Kuno to do this for me." Before she could say anything else Ranma was already far away, she could see someone roof hopping away towards one of the locations.
"Always predictable"

A few minutes later the pigtailed boy was going at his top speed to reach his destination. On the way he was grumbling and swearing, fed up with Nabiki and her ways to get him to do something. As he was nearing the location his eyes caught that there are smaller groups of people coming and going. Slowing down to get the map from his pocket Ranma checked it to be sure.
"Well this must be the right way then." Ranma increased his speed and in a few minutes he could see a smaller warehouse.

------------- Two hours later-------------

Back at Furinkan Nabiki was sure that her plan to eradicate this growing problem is going well. Her subordinates were all asking that wasn't sending Ranma being overkill but she just eased them that if they don't show enough force then this Ragnarok group might turn out to be a problem later. After a while her little helpers started to irritate Nabiki with the non-stop chatter about this being a wrong choice.
It was already the second period which was P.E. that Nabiki couldn't take it any longer. She was in the middle or changing clothes when her ears caught some of her employee's talking about today's choice of action.
"... and what do you think will happen if the impression Ranma makes isn't enough?"
"It will be enough!" Nabiki's voice made the whole changing room turn silent, when she was angry it was best to move to safety.
"So no more complains? Good. To those who DARE to think otherwise that this plan won't work then I'll assure them that I already have a backup plan which cannot fail! By the way, if I hear about this just ONE MORE time then I'll make that person feel what it's like to be on Tendo Nabiki's list!"

The Nabiki's class formed a line near the track field after a quick name call. The middle Tendo and her classmates waited for the instructions.
"Alright! For starts the girls will line up to run while the boys will be doing some 'light' gymnastics!"
At the teachers words some of the boys had lust written all over there faces when girls and running word was spoken. Some of the girls seeing this look muttered about perverts and some curses while in the line to the track field.
Just as it was Nabiki's turn to run her eyes caught something at the school gate. Twelve or thirteen guys her age entered the school... some of them brandishing a bokken and one even had a steel pipe! The sight itself amazed the students; it was a long time ago someone dared to venture to Furinkan with weapons... at least those who knew nothing of the place!
"Looks like some idiots arrived I'll go and warn them before they get hurt." One of the boys said and ran over there. Nabiki wasn't sure what to do... she didn't have Ranma in range to call for help, Kuno could help but he was in the kendo club room, getting one of the amazons was out of question unless Shampoo suddenly appeared they wouldn't get there in time and back... her only wild card was Ryoga who appeared when he wanted to and where he wanted to.
Realising that she can't count on any of the 'defenders' she moved to one of her subordinates with a detailed command.
"Yume! Stop watching and listen!" Hearing Nabiki's voice the girl looked at her but she was still worried about the boy that went over there!
"What is it?"
"I want you to go over to the kendo team and call in Kuno! I'll make sure no one notices your absence... and hurry I'm not sure what those guys are planning but I have a hunch it is nothing good." Just as Nabiki finished her ears caught a scream! Looking there quickly, the boy... Suichi was kneeling and holding his arm and suddenly the guy with the steel pipe struck and hit him in the back and another scream burst from the Suichi.
"Goddamn them!" While the Ice Queen was one to be feared, in a situation like this she was nearly powerless especially if her opponents didn't mind reshaping her face!

------------- Back with Ranma-------------

Saotome Ranma was known for acting quickly without thinking. Those who say it only know one side of him, when he has the option the young Saotome likes to plan everything one or two steps before acting.
And he did so now as he sat atop a building adjacent with the warehouse, he observed the building, gathering as much information as he could. There was a patrol- like group walking around the warehouse, if the pigtailed boy would attack they wouldn't even have the chance to scream for help.
Yet something in the back of his head told Ranma that this was too easy... if this was an important building wouldn't the security be better or have more people around it. Since two hours ago thirty people went into the building and out of them six already left. Including the guards it still only twenty-nine.
"It can't be this easy... a lot of people must be in there." Looking at the building with a healthy amount of paranoia Ranma realised that this was a trap and as such he could use it against those who set it up.
"First I'll kick the patrols ass and knock them out, then hide them. After that I'll enter somewhere no one could think of and see if I was right or not."
With that plan in mind the pigtailed boy moved into action.

Ranma quickly jumped to the next building and relocated himself so he could see the back of the warehouse. Luckily this gave him enough space and time, behind the warehouse another smaller warehouse stood. The small space between the two buildings was meant for an ambush.
As the patrol group was in the middle of the path Ranma jumped down and landed with the grace of a feline, the guards didn't hear a thing so the pigtailed boy quickly knocked down one of the guys. The other two didn't even hear a thing as their partner fell to the ground and didn't have a chance to scream for help before the pigtailed boy knocked them out.

-------------Back at Furinkan-------------

After witnessing that one of his students is in a pinch the P.E. teacher Tanaka Shou or the strongest teacher in school as he liked to call himself ran over to the thugs to teach them a lesson!
While Tanaka was a strong person even thought he wasn't the strongest teacher in the school no student dare to mess with him so it was a big surprise to him when suddenly his face met a bokken and smacked him down.
"Now I understand why this was called the insane zone. No one is crazy enough to attack a group of people who have weapons with his bare hands." The assumed leader of the thugs started laughing as he brandished his bokken and hit the teacher with it a few more times.
"Hey Kazuma... isn't that that you know... the short haired brunette, the so called Ice Queen?" A taller student, with wide shoulders looked at his leader but a guy slightly shorter than him who wore his hair in a ponytail voiced his thoughts.
"Man Saichiro has a good eye sight, I can barely make her face out from here."
"Put your glasses on dumb-ass! Sometimes I can't believe how stupid you are Ichigo!"

While the tree started bickering the rest of the gang, which was nine in number started doing the job they were sent here to do. That is harass the students, beat up anyone who resists and if you can recruit a few soldiers.
The little squad quickly got into action as five of them started running towards Nabiki and the rest of her class while the other four went inside the school building!
Nabiki could summarise her feelings of this in one word which she muttered.
"Fuck."

------------Back with Ranma-----------

After getting rid of the outer guards Ranma slowly opened one of the windows and started sneaking in the building. Luckily for him most of the people who were in the building were not even a threat... but he felt three other presences in the room... and two could be a threat!
"(I better be careful... who knows what kind of an ambush this is.)" With that Ranma silently moved from one spot to another trying his best not to alert his opponents. When he looked around the room again he could see the two who could turn out to be a threat. One of them was a tall blond guy... who by the looks of it was a street brawler, his stance was full of openings, the air around him was like he didn't care about anything and that also showed on his clothes. The other made the pigtailed boy more curious. Even if the guy had a black get up and a cowl to hide his features Ranma could tell that this guy was way above the other one in power. He held himself with grace and strength and had an air of arrogance around him.
"(Well this looks interesting. I wonder where the third one I felt?)" Just as Ranma thought that his ears caught footsteps and so he took the fastest escape route. Jumping up to the support beams he thought that he was safe but the lights turned on, blinding him for a moment or two.
"Welcome dear guest. I thought that there would be an attack sooner or later but to send only one man... it was foolishness." A guy with goggles stepped out of the office room and held a microphone in his hand. The other two fighters just looked at Ranma like he was made of air!
"Oh really... then how about I continue with this attack?"
"Now now. Since you took out our outer guards and got as far as this I think you earned the right to join our ranks as a strike commander." The goggles guy started speaking again, the way he talked made Ranma very angry somehow.
"No thanks. I'll live without that." Before Ranma could say anything else he heard a gun fire and quickly dived into the air!
"Fool, you won't survive the fall without breaking your bones!" The goggle guy was feeling a little pity towards the boy. He had potential to become a great spy. When the boy landed on the ground without any problem, well that made things a bit more complicated.
"Fascinating but I believe that this is the end. Berserker, would you do the honour?" The tall guy addressed as Berserker looked at the goggle guy and back at Ranma and just as he took a step forward the other one grabbed the blonde's shoulder.
"I will be the one who fights him!"
"What!? Don't mess with my plans Hermit!" The goggle guy yelled at the one called as Hermit, but that one didn't care about it much.
"It might not be that obvious to you Loki but this guy is better then you would think! So I believe I will dispatch him, he deserves a good opponent!"
A small smile appeared on Ranma's face as he looked on his opponents.
"(He isn't that strong but I'll think I'll play with him.)"

Seeing that he doesn't really has much of an option Ranma took up his usual stance and prepared himself for whatever the guy could throw at him. After the two got closer but still out of attacking range the pigtailed boy used his always angering cocky smile. Hermit couldn't take it long as he quickly started into an offence barely missing Ranma who was amazed by the guy.
He wasn't as strong as him or as fast but his skills in fighting was on almost on his level!
"(The only thing different is that he uses moves that leave him open for long enough for me to strike... and that he is trying to break my bones or maim me!)"

Loki was having the time of his life doing the two things he enjoyed the most. Sitting down, relaxing and watching a good fight where you know the outcome.
"(The pigtailed guy has skills, after all not many could dodge Hermit for so long but he isn't good enough to retaliate! Such a waste of potential.)" He was about to yell to end the fight when suddenly Hermit's arm got grabbed, pulled under his groin, forcing him on his knees and he fell to the ground face first with the pigtailed guy sitting on him and holding his hands.
"Impossible!"
Before Loki could say anything else Hermit was released and the pigtailed boy had the always present smile of his.

"You bastard... you WERE holding back! I thought I felt something was strange!" The guy called Hermit yelled at Ranma as he stood up and relaxed his arms while at it.
"To tell you the truth I am still holding back."
"Well that is good to know. Then I'll make you show me your true power!" Just as Hermit was about to jump at him again Berserker stood next to him.
"Sorry Hermit... but this guy is mine! I want him!"
"Eww! Sorry pal but I don't swing that way..." Before the pigtailed boy could finish he had to dodge a kick that came out of nowhere. Just as he was about to attack back his danger sense went crazy and he barely dodged a fist that cut his shirt! Not letting the pigtailed boy have time to relax Berserker started into a flurry of random attacks which lacked any kind of discipline so it was near impossible to see them before they got close!
Luckily for Ranma the ki enhanced speed once again helped him out of this situation as he weaved around the attacks, dodging in the last possible moment and landed a solid hit to the face of his opponent who stopped like he was petrified from it. Using this Ranma made a brake to gain distance between them to catch his breath.
"(This guy... Berserker... has good physical abilities but close to no skill to back it up.)"
Before he could realise what was happening Ranma felt a small amount of ki coming towards him and he quickly dodged the incoming attack that shattered the concrete ground where he was standing a moment ago.

The tall and bulky blond had a sinister smile on his face as he once again dashed towards Ranma who once again just barely slipped out from his reach.
"Show me your power! I want to see it!"
"(Why do I have to put up with the crazies in this world?)" Ranma wasn't sure if this guy was insane like he seemed or he has a split personality problem. When he was about to start attacking, Berserker disappeared!
"(Where is he? ABOVE!)" Ranma looked up just in time to block an attack that would have hurt him bad otherwise! Even while blocking that kick Berserker did he could feel his bones resonating from it! But if that wasn't enough the insane blonde started stomping on him! Even with the ki to enhancement his toughness the pigtailed boy was being worn down by the non-stop attacks. When Berserker wanted to stomp again Ranma grabbed his leg and threw him away, the blond guy turned in the air, connected with the wall and rebounded from it to land six feet away from him.
"You know... when I'm fighting someone like you... I can only think of one thing. The excitement that comes from fighting someone strong! That is why I want to fight you at full power! The only thing I fear is boredom... and you seem like someone who can make sure I'm entertained!" The maniacal Berserker rushed towards the pigtailed boy who had just about enough of the insane blonde. He ran towards him head on and struck out two thousand times all over Berserkers body, the big guy didn't even have a chance to realise why he was falling towards the ground.

"I can't believe my eyes! Who is this guy!?" Loki was in a near panic- like state, his best attackers seemed to be not enough to stop the pigtailed intruder! Seeing that his regular soldiers were slack jawed and only looked at the battle gave Loki an idea.
"Don't just stand there! There is too many of us for him to handle on his own at once! Gang up on him!" The thugs and tough guy wannabes followed the order and ran towards there target.

"Well this was a nice fight but... not this again!" The young Saotome started dodging and countering attacks barely damaging his opponents as he weaved around the attacks and from afar the only thing a spectator could see was the pigtailed boy's silhouette appearing and disappearing as he dispatched his opponents!

"He isn't human! He must be a monster!" Loki wasn't sure what to do anymore, his plan was foiled... his master plan was ruined! He was about to jump in and fight as well as rage enveloped his mind when his phone signalled that he got a text. Quickly reading the text Loki felt to comply to the order he got.
"Alright! You fought well today but we will return and the next time you WILL be crushed! Men retreat this is an order from the first fist!" Hearing this only Hermit and Berserker didn't want to comply but they did in the end and left the building. Leaving Ranma alone in the warehouse that now marked as his first victory against Ragnarok.

-------------Five minutes later outside the building----------------

The pigtailed boy was standing atop the warehouse where he had just had a nice little exorcise. Seeing that one victory was enough for today he readied himself to return to the Tendo's.
Along the way Ranma thought about the possibilities of having such good opponents like the two he had just fought earlier.
"I wonder why they didn't use ki at all... that Hermit guy did use some to increase his toughness while that Berserker guy upped his speed a bit but I barely felt any being released." The thing that his opponents didn't use ki as he or Ryoga, Mousse or any other of the people in Nerima did was a mystery to Ranma and he found it strange as well.
"I think I'll look into it."

------------Not so far away in the temporary HQ of Ragnarok---------------

"... I'm telling you Odin! That guy isn't human! He took out Hermit, Berserker and about thirty of our men without breaking a sweat!"
"Interesting... tell me how did he look like?" Odin raised an eyebrow, seemingly interested in this person.
"He was about Hermit's height, with raven hair in a pigtailed, with a red Chinese shirt and black pants. Also some slip in shoes that those kung fu guys are wearing."
"Well that I think we will postpone our attack on Nerima, the reports say that both your plan and the attack on Furinkan failed."
"WHAT!? Impossible! My sources tell me that the best in the school is a short haired girl who barely has any real battle experience!"
"Well from the looks of it then someone else appeared and beat down our troops."
"What in God's name happened to the rest of our troops out there?"
"Seemingly they encountered resistance that they couldn't handle... there was a report about a guy breaking through a wall with only a finger and another who tied up everyone with chains and had an arsenal of weapons with him."
This brought a relatively long silence to the two. Neither Loki nor Odin could tell what was out there that could do this to the troops. The troops that always brought victory on the first time!
"No wonder the gangs ran from there... if that pigtailed guy is from Furinkan then I don't want to face an army of them!" Loki made a memo to make new plans that didn't include Furinkan and the schools surrounding it!
"Yes. Well whatever is out there... I have a feeling we will meet it again. For now let's send out recruiters only... this time make it subtle."
"Yes... I'm on it." With that said Loki went out of the room where Odin took 'office' and started heading towards his own base.

At his home, Loki started going through all the files he had. Looking for someone that resembles the pigtailed boy, he HAD to know his name! After hours of searching he ended up with nothing.
"I have to find out who he is!" The desperate feeling to gain the knowledge he was seeking sent Loki into madness as he started banging his head to his desk. After the fifth or so hit the shelf, where he held videotapes gave out and the whole pile fell on him.
After a brief moment when his sanity returned Loki stood up, went to repair the shelf and after that put back the tapes. As he was doing he read all the tapes names.
Some were footage of the early fist gatherings, some were footage of a member of the fists, like he had a fascination with Freya, who was strong but her strength was her weakness as well. After that came older tapes recordings about the district, neighbouring districts and it's most powerful groups, as he went through those one name caught his eye.
"Furinkan... I might have got all the answers I wanted all along!"
Quickly popping in the tape in Loki started observing the school and it's important members. After ten minutes he thought that the footage was all a scam and it was a scene from an amateur action film with a good budget!
"Who would believe this? People transforming by the touch of water... but wait... there he is! Let's see if the tape has anything more about him."

A half hour later Loki wasn't sure if the boy was human or not... from that tape alone he faced more threatening things than Ragnarok and survived that normally one couldn't! Not to mention that those around him shared these traits!
"If those guys ever started expanding there territory... we would be doomed! No one could stop them!"

After an hour passed the tape was over and Loki knew a little more about his nemesis.
"Well since I know a little more about him I still don't know his name... or the others name that appeared on the tape... I wonder why it barely has any sound? No matter... well since I'm already sitting I might as well look out WHO could I recruit for our cause."
