She felt around her neck, it was gone. The locket Ranma gave her was gone.
"My beautiful Ukyo Saref, are you missing something," asked her fiancé Tsubasa.
Ukyo sighed. Ranma could make her smile all the time. The only time Tsubasa ever made her smile was when she caught him cross-dressing while he thought she was out of the house.
"Nothing important. Just something I lost a long time ago," she replied as they drove off.
An Hour later, They sat in the office of Mr. Donenfeld. He was an old balding man who instantly started to sweat as soon as Ukyo and her fiancé came in.
"I am a man of my word miss Saref" yelled Donenfeld.
"Are you now" She calmly replied. "Take promesis you made to your lovely new wife. 'Forsaking all others' and such.
"Let's not get personal shall we"
"Oh we shall," she said as she placed a set of pictures in front of Donenfeld. They contained evidence of him "consorting" with a teenage girl.
Ukyo continued, "I commissioned you to find a certain treasure for me Mr. Donenfeld. The lost treasure of the Argonauts. It was worth me coming back to this horrid town. Just to touch it, to hold it, to have it be mine. The shiny thing to end all shiny things. And I paid you a fortune for it. And it would have been worth every nickel, but you screwed me. So now, were going to take every last one of those nickels and transfer them into another bunch of accounts."
"What on earth are you talking about?" asked Donenfeld.
"You're going to be quite the philanthropist."
Her fiancé started to type in numbers on Donenfelds' computer. "Transfer complete," he said.
Ukyo made her way over to a scanner and sat down on it.
"Why are you doing this to me?" asked Donenfeld.
"You sold me out," yelled Ukyo.
"I didn't have any choice"
"Imagine my surprise when I show up at the drop point and run smack into the Octopus. I mean what are the odds of that. Unless you sold the Argo's treasure twice making a perfect ass of yourself."
Then Ukyo turned the scanner on and out came a picture of her butt that she soon discarded.
"He didn't give me any choice. He's the Octopus, he threatened my family," pleaded Donenfeld.
"Take a good look at those pictures. They'll reach your family and every news service on the planet unless you render them irrelevant. At least die bravely, jackass" she said as she handed him a gun.
Tsubasa then grabbed the pictures and they left.
A minute later, a gunshot was heard coming from Donenfeld's office.
Meanwhile,
The Octopus sat in the middle of the room with Silken Nabiki behind him, One, and numbers Three through Eight surrounding him, and a large box in front of him.
"Mark this moment, all of you. A new age begins. An age of great power. The blood of Heracles is finally mine."
He opened the lid on the box and a bright golden light shined upon him. He closed the box and took out his wooden sword. Then in a fit of rage, he killed Four and Five.
Silken Nabiki just stood there, nonchalantly taking a bite of an apple.
"I am sorely disappointed," said the Octopus. He looked over at his henchmen, "Which one of you ingrates brought me this?"
"I guess that would be me boss," said One.
"On your knees then," said Nabiki.
One cheerfully got on his knees.
"What went wrong?" asked Nabiki.
"Nothing went wrong," said One.
"Then where is my vase. I should have a vas full of blood. It's supposed to be in that box," asked the Octopus.
"Must have been in the other box," said One.
"What other box" yelled Nabiki and the Octopus simultaneously.
"Must have been in the other box"
"What other box you fart," yelled Nabiki.
"The one the pretty lady ran off with. We was watching"
The Octopus remembered Ukyo Saref. He thought he scared her off with time to spare. What was she doing in Nerima anyway?
"It didn't occur to you morons to mention that there was a second box," asked Nabiki.
"No. But it looked just like this one," said One.
Silken Nabiki had had enough of this, "Seppuku across the stomach. Left to right and give me 5000 yen."
The Octopus handed One a small sword that was hanging on the wall. He took it and happily obliged with Silken Nabiki's request.
Nabiki looked over at the Octopus. "So Ukyo Saref has the blood. You know, you could have killed her and brought back both boxes," she said.
"Am I supposed to do everything around here" said the Octopus.
"You have to do something about her"
"Don't worry about her. She's after the other box and whatever's inside of it. I'll admit that the glow it emits is creepy."
"So the situation is hardly a disaster. Ukyo Saref has the blood. However, we have what she wants."
The Octupus called the remaining henchmen in the room, "Find Ukyo Saref, and tell her I have no problem with her. She can have her creepy item. Get me the blood. Keep it safe. Spill one drop and you will all be severely punished."
"Don't forget about the Spirit" said Nabiki.
"He's like a cockroach that just won't die if you know what I mean. I hate cockroaches. We're going to kill the Spirit, and sometime soon."
"He doesn't exactly publish his address".
"I didn't say we were going to look for him. He'll come to us."
"I assume you have a plan."
"I left him a clue that will lead him right to us."
