Ranma, musa and bloom were heading to the arena where the rhythmic gymnastic match was to take place, Ranma's anger was already at it's peak do to the photo he had gotten off Ryoga when he attempted to fight Ranma only to get lost and drop it, a photo of him and musa kissing and he knew what kind of hell that was going to unleash.
Changing room…
Ranma had taken on his female form and was getting into the extremely girlish leotard, which didn't help to calm Ranma. Ranma's danger sense then went off and he looked up to see a rubber ball falling from the air vent "same old tricks, try to take me out early only this time it's ball bomb" Ranma sighed before, grabbing bloom and Musa's hand jumping back out of the way of the explosion.
"sonic boom" musa then yelled as she sent a sonic wave up the air vent and the next thing they heard was someone flying upwards while smashing through several layers of concrete.
They then made their way to the arena where the referee was getting ready to introduce them. "now I'm sure we'll be in for one hell of a match as it shall be a rematch between the current champion the pigtailed girl and the previous champion kodachi" she yelled earning an applause from the excited crowd as Ranma jumped into the arena.
In the audience Akane scowled at Ranma, while Nabiki watched 'him' closely, she could see his rage and instantly knew this was going to be one destructive match, while genma and Soun sat scheming ways to get Ranma to come back and so far their only plan was ambush him at the end when he's too tired to fight back, neither of them noticed Nodoka sit at the front.
Fireworks then erupted from where kodachi was going to come out and just like last time some headed towards Ranma, which 'he' dodged effortlessly, while in mid leap, Ranma noticed three were heading for Musa, Ranma then changed his path so that he would intercept the fireworks and take the hit, which surprised kodachi as she landed in the ring and smirked, thinking she'd one this before it had even began, however, that smirk faded when the smoke faded and Ranma stood there, in front of musa, arms spread, so to take the full impact and without a single scratch on her, Ranma then glared at kodachi, she began to emit a huge red battle aura of pure anger. Kodachi just glared back at her, she had been planning to take one of them out and take the other out in the match but they had both survived, without a scratch, kodachi was then struck by inspiration and smirked.
"I call article 5 of chapter 6 rule 3 of the rhythmic gymnastics" kodachi roared, Ranma then looked towards the referee confused.
"it shall be a two on two match up" the referee declared, earning an excited roar from the audience.
"a two on two match?" Ranma asked in confusion.
"the challenger kodachi may now get to choose the two additional participants" the referee explained/announced.
"and what if I refuse it?" Ranma asked.
"you can't since you're the returning champion that makes kodachi the challenger and the challenger has the right to decide what match it would be and she selected two on two, to refuse would mean to surrender" the referee explained, Ranma's hands then formed fists, his anger at it's peak.
"the team shall be I and kuno against the pigtailed girl and her" she declared as she pointed at musa, Ranma's anger grew even more but he had no choice, if he refused he'd let the school down, taint his honour, earn kodachi's eternal wrath when in his female form and she would constantly attack musa. Ranma then grabbed Musa's hand and the two of them leapt into the arena and musa used her magic to change into a purple leotard, kuno then pranced into the arena.
"here are the terms if I the great kodachi win you will surrender my prince Ranma to me" kodachi announced.
"and I shall date with you and the fiery empress" kuno added, which only added to Ranma's anger and musa could swear that Ranma had began to glow, which seemed to get more powerful as his anger rose.
"and when we win you will leave me, musa and bloom alone kuno and kodachi will not only leave us alone but will leave Ranma alone" Ranma yelled back at them. They then excepted the terms and got ready to fight, Ranma held up a club, musa a ribbon, kodachi a ribbon and kuno held up a hoop and prepared to start.
