As the three looked at Marda, they became irritated by the statement that she had just said.

"Of course, we want to get rid of them, I can't touch cold water without turning into a girl," said Ranma.

"And I turn into a dog, do you realize how humiliating that is?" asked Akane.

"I am aware of all of those with curses on them, and I have to say that you have the most interesting stories with yours," said Marda.

"How do you get that?" asked Ranma.

"Because, if it had not been for your curse Ranma, then you wouldn't have met Shampoo and the others, and you two would still hate each other instead of about to marry," said Marda.

"I never thought about that," said Ranma.

"As for you Akane and Genma, you have the chance to adapt to the bodies of a dog and panda to make a new fighting style like Shampoo and Ryoga," said Marda.

"True, that would-be kind of cool," said Akane.

"Well I'm sick of it, I don't care if I could make a new fighting style or not, this curse has not helped me in the least," said Genma.

"Then if you all know what you want, walk into the water and it will be granted," said Marda. Later, Soun noticed movement in the cave as he waited outside, but when the three came out, he saw that Ranma and Akane were in their cursed forms.

"Did it not work?!" asked Soun.

"No, it did work," said Ranma as he and Akane transformed.

"You can control your curses now?!" asked Soun who was more surprised by this than when they came out.

"That's right," said Akane with a smile.

"I say the two of them or idiots, they could have just let the curses go," said Genma.

"Yeah, but we realized that we have a good opportunity with them thanks to Marda," said Ranma.

"Who is Marda?" asked Soun who was now confused.

"We'll tell you later," said Akane as they walked away from the cave.
