A dreary Akane had just stepped back in the main foyer of the Tendo dojo early the next morning. She was just now coming back from her date with Tatewaki. (A/N sorry hentai's but they did not have sex.) In the foyer she saw Ranma who his backpack packed. It was evident he was leaving.

"Where are you going Ranma?"

"I am going to take care of something. I will be back in a few weeks."

Normally Akane would not be concerned but Ranma had been depressed a lot lately and in these situations some people are prone to do stupid things. Akane had to stop him.

Ranma read Akane's intent accurately as he grabbed his backpack and bolted out the door and leaped out of view. Akane knew than this was no training trip. He had this planned out to. She knew he had help planning this but whom. Then the perfect person popped into her head.

Akane only saw red when she realized who this person was. This time that person went too far. As she ran up the stairs Akane called forth her war club. As she disintegrated a door she yelled out, "NABIKI!"

Nabiki was still asleep when her door was smashed into bits but quickly woke up. As the dust settled she saw a glowing Akane pointing her new chi laced war hammer at her. Nabiki never saw Akane like this and it scared her to death. Akane in one swoop had woken up the rest of the house.

"Where has Ranma gone? And don't play dumb with me if you want to live!"

Nabiki knew that was no threat but a promise. She also knew that Akane no longer considered her a sister. That fact stung her worse than the threat she was proposed. In tears she answered.

"He is going to China. He came to me in grief saying he is in love with Jonasan but he truly believed only girl can love men. So if he loved a man then he is a girl. He knows his curse can be locked as him as a girl. He also knows Herb's ladle can lock it forever."

"So he is going to piss Herb off just to get locked in his cursed form, That Idiot." Akane looked up to see her father and Kasumi there. "Nabiki, Call the airport and get tickets ready for everyone. We are going to China to stop him."

Soun jumped in, "Akane, you know as well as I do there is only one person he will listen to now."

"Yes I know that. I am on my way to see Jonasan now." She went down the stairs to the front door. When she opened it up she was surprised to see Auntie Nodoka there. "Auntie, what are you doing here this early?"

"This baka had told me everything." Nodoka pointed to Genma who was behind her. Akane glared at Genma with hatred. Just as she was to focus back on Nodoka she saw Ukyo and Shampoo appear suddenly behind him. "I need to speak with my son please."

"I am sorry, Auntie, you just missed him."

"Can I wait for him to get back, please?"

Akane's battle aura flared to unbelievable heights. "He won't be back. He is on his way to china to get his curse locked for good by Herb." When Ukyo and Shampoo heard this, their battle aura's flared as they started to pound Genma into the ground. "Ukyo! Shampoo!" They glanced up at Akane. "Don't kill him. We'll need him later."

They answered in perfect unison, "We won't." Then they went back to beating the snot out of Genma.

"Auntie if you excuse me I need to collect the only person Ranma will listen to now. And FYI all of us are planning to go including that baka." She pointed to Genma who was being pulverized.

Nodoka nodded as Akane chi powered leaped out of sight. Nodoka thought to herself she needs to teach Akane proper chi management for the poor girl expended too much chi in that leap. But she was amazed she figured the Saotome school trick out since she knew neither her baka nor Ranma would teach her that.

Nodoka turned to the massacre. "Girls!" said Nodoka sternly. Both Ukyo and Shampoo stopped what they were doing and stood at attention fearing they went too far. Nodoka respected them for being able to stop that quickly. "You are making too big a scene here in the street. Take the baka to the Tendo backyard to continue his education."

Both girls exclaimed in unison, "With Pleasure." They picked up Genma and leaped into the backyard.

Elsewhere, Akane was having the time of her life leaping across town from rooftop to rooftop. The only drawback it had was everyone was able to see her panties. She could not let herself be embarrassed by that now.

Security at Jonasan estate was alerted the moment Akane landed. Akane fought them at such a high level they knew she must be an assassin sent from Joketsuzoku, the Chinese Amazon tribe.

(A/N The same Chinese Amazons Shampoo is a part of.)

Jonasan saw on the security screen who it was and sighed. He marched out to the scene of Akane winning the fight against his guards. Akane was never this good he thought. Apparently concern for Ranma must be propelling her development. "Halt," he ordered. Akane and his guards stopped what they were doing in mid-fight. "This is Tendo Akane, one of Ranma's newly adoptive sisters. She is welcome here. I will take it from here. Back to your stations." The security officers left. "What can I do for you so early in the morning that you felt the need to invade?"

"I take it you heard what the baka did." Akane caught the part of him calling her newly adoptive sister.

"Unfortunately I understand that Genma disowned Ranma. I am pleased what Soun did."

"Then you must know that Ranma really needs you."

"I have tried Akane. Goodness knows I have tried but each and every time I have been rejected."

"How much do you know about Ranma's upbringing, Jonasan?"

Jonasan gave the file he had about Ranma. Akane looked it over and found it complete. Then she notices the one thing it did not contain – the exact words of the seppuku contract. It mentions it but not the words it said. That explains a few things. "Jonasan, do you know what the so called seppuku contract specifies?" Jonasan nodded negatively. "It specifies that Genma must train Ranma to be a man amongst men or both Genma and Ranma must commit seppuku. Nodoka has since recanted the contract when she finally learned of the curse but the damage was too late."

Jonasan grabbed the file from Akane and looked it over again with this information in mind. Some things were making perfect sense now. Akane gave Jonasan a sisterly hug. "Ranma truly loves you. But that feeling goes against everything he was raised to be. He just doesn't know how to handle it."

Jonasan became alarmed. "Akane, you did not invade my home just to tell me that. What is wrong?"

Akane turned away and looked downward, "He went to China to get his curse locked from…"

"Herb's magic ladle," Jonasan finished. "How much of a head start does he have?"

"A few hours by now. If Nabiki is correct he is already halfway there by now in a plane?"

Jonasan picked up the phone. "Hi, I know this is irregular but I need the plane readied for departure in an hour. Will you please do it?...Thanks, the passengers will be everyone at the Tendo dojo, myself, and Tendo Akane." Akane raised her hand and Jonasan understood."Oh I have one more to add to the passenger manifest – Kuno Tatewaki, Tendo Akane's boyfriend. Destination is Mainland China. Please make all the customs arrangements too." Jonasan hung up and dialed another number. "Security Chief Davenport please?...John, Jonathan. Get a security team ready. I will be landing with friend there in a few hours. We are on a mission to rescue someone from the musk."

"Rescue Mission?" inquired Akane.

"You remember the Musk invasion here right." Akane gulped thinking back on that nightmare. "Ranma and the gang were able to win because the musk was out of their element. Where Ranma is going the musk will have home field advantage. I am certain Ranma's curse will be locked. I am also certain that very quickly Ranma will find herself stripped naked and chained somewhere while they prepare to breed her with the finest the musk have to offer. I WILL NOT ALLOW SOMEONE I LOVE BE ABUSED LIKE THAT. Let's go."

Twelve hours later, elsewhere, Ranma found HERSELF naked and chained in a cell, crying "Jonasan, please save me."

A/N

I told you this will be a powerful chapter. I hate that it ended on a dark note though. But rest assured Ranma will be saved. It might be apparent to some of you I have no first hand knowledge of the Musk. Unfortunately they never covered the Musk arc in the anime. I have to rely on second hand reading on that arc from a lot of sources. Please bear with me on this.
