The Octopus quietly rose from the water, and knocked out officer Daisuke. He put down his box and grabbed a discarded cinderblock.
He tossed the cinderblock yelling, "Heads up" as it hit the masked man in the head.
While his enemy was stunned, he handed his box to his diminutive henchmen.
"Take it home. When the Spirit and I get together, we like to party night."
Then his henchmen hauled the box off as he walked back over to his enemy. When his enemy woke up, the Octopus smashed him in the face with his wooden sword.
"There's nothing I love more than thrashing you all night long", he said. Then he proceeded to kick his enemy into the muddy water.
Meanwhile, the Octopus' henchmen were busy arguing amongst themselves.
"Where's the truck?" said One.
"Silken Nabiki is the most beautiful woman ever," said Two.
"How are we supposed to find our way home without Silken Nabiki?" said Three.
"Silken Nabiki is the most beautiful woman ever," said One.
"She was supposed to be here," said Two.
"How are we supposed to find our way home without Silken Nabiki?" said One.
"Where's the truck," said Three.
Just then, a moving truck backed over Two.
"I found the truck" said Two who looked up at Silken Nabiki. She was dressed in very expensive shoes, a knee length leather skirt, black jacket, fingerless gloves, and a beret that complimented her Louise Brooks haircut.
"Load up the box and get in, laborers," she said with her usual bored expression.
She continued, "No need to wait for the boss if that's the Spirit back there. He always finds his nemesis so distracting."
"It is the Spirit. We were watching," said Three.
"Well then, he'll be at it all night."
"Yeah, Master said so. We were watching," said One.
"Yeah, I heard," sighed Nabiki.
A/N, I decided that the henchmen would get numbers instead of names. It's less confusing for me that way. Oh and for the record, some of the characters will get Ranma names (various background characters, Shampoo, Kasumi) , some will keep their Spirit (The Octopus) names and others "hybrid names" (Akane/ Nabiki)
The only character I haven't decided on yet is Ukyo/Sand Seraf. She might stay Sand Saref or Ukyo Kuonji. I can't think of a good way to combine the names for a hybrid.
Oh and I didn't say this before but, I'm gunna try not to refer to him as the Spirit unless someone is talking to or about him. That's why he's being referred to a, "The masked man" or "The figure".
