(Dani: Legend is listed in Profile. My profile is also, where I will address specific questions or issues that readers ask about.

I do not own many of the Characters in this story though some are mine all the KNOWN characters belong to those who originally created them. Thxs.

Please also NOTE I write Alternate Universe (AU) stories whether they are crossover or not. The AU applies to ALL characters. Thus, this will make them OOC to the original Story and I like it that way. So if you plan to comment that Akane is not like that sorry I writer her like I like to. This goes for all the characters it makes the story more fun for me to write that way. I got to have some antagonist and some friends. :D)

Chapter Twenty

Takhisis sat with the five chaotic gods of religions long gone. She liked them they knew things she had not. Though she does not really, care as just wanted the extra chaos to take over this planet. She listened as they told her what they had done and that now she need not have to find the three children with chaos. They have searched for them and could not find them. They feel they no nothing about how to utilize their chaos. No human ever could! It tended to loose their minds. They will however during the battle watch out for them. They should be able to detect the level of their chaos, at the time take them hostage, and bring them back to the Abyss to her.

"I like that I will not leave them in the hands of the Faeries they could learn to use them to destroy my attempt to take over the Faerie Realm." Takhisis told them and the five gods nodded.

Three women and two men took notes so they were sure to be able to do what their queen wanted. Though Kraqu was the oldest remaining war and chaos god, he sent the goddess from his pantheon that was just a chaos goddess. Takhisis smiled, as she was as good as he was with chaos but in some cases much better. There was a red dragon male, a white dragon female, a green dragon male, and a black dragon female. Her knew generals for the black and white armies were doing quite well. They were training constantly and with the green and blue dragons army. They felt the reds just bash and move on was not going to win the war.

Seth watched the meeting from his spot with his army. He had a new red dragon. She was an ancient dragon and she liked her as she always stayed in human form when around him. She was extremely beautiful and very stimulating. She was called Nightfire but her human form was Ruby. Seth did not realize that Nightfire was Fireblood's her mate and she wanted revenge against the warrior that killed him and Seth for allowing it to happen. She was also under her mother's orders to train the red dragon army like the others and to try and get Seth to pick out colonels and lieutenants to help maintain a stronger control over his troops.

Nightfire was an ancient dragon and stood as tall as a six-story building. Her scales were bright ruby red her chest was a soft muted yellow color that was also on the underside of her wings. She agreed to be Seth's ride only if when the war was over she got revenge for Fireblood's death at his lack luster skill.

Nightfire's human form went by the name Ruby and stood six feet three inches tall. Her face was saure shaped but soft it was framed by ruby colored hair that was straight and down to her waist. She had large almond shaped eyes that were amber in color with reptilian shaped pupils. Her nose was long, lean, and ended over full luscious lips. Her body and hourglass shape and not quite as full figured as Ranma-Chan at thirty-four, twenty-five, thirty-two. She had long shapely legs that added to her exotic beauty. She wore a long flowing dress of shimming red that hugged her body it was a halter top style. It was like a long silk scarf that came around form the back and down the front. It attacked to the waist of the skirt. And was used just to cover her ample chest. There was a skirt waist band with a large diamond buckle at the front center then the skirt was overlapping rectangles of the same shimmering red material. On her feet were red slippers.

She had told her mother she might need to allow him to have her but she wold fight against it as long as possible as Fireblood was her mate and the general that aloud him to die was not high on her friend list. Takhisis laughed and she smiled then nodded. She turned back to her council on chaos it was nice though she knew more theen they had forgotten they accentuated the others with knowledge they forgot and another remembered. She looked up as the generals from the other four groups came up.

They bowed and stood up. Kiima had the best relationship with Takhisis so they allowed her to do the talking. They also did not want to be part of the backlash if she got angry. Kraqu glared at the cowards and stepped forward with Kiima. Takhisis pretended to be looking at the papers given her by the chaos wizards and smirked as Kraqu did not like the other general's behavior nor did she but for now they were all she had. She looked at as another movement caught her eye and fshe found Sanjak next to Kiima her eyes glaring at the new cowardly generals. Takhisis tried to hold in her giggles as the newer generals coward at her stare.

"What may I do for you and the other generals?" Takhisis asked Kiima and Kraqu as she stared only at the two green and blue leaders.

"We have come to find out when we start the battle again? We are training and trying to work out ways to avoid the skills of the Faeries but I fear the soldiers and anxious for another fight." Kiima turned at the uproar as they hear the words 'another fight'.

"Yes I see they are, Seth did not agree with your visit?" Takhisis asked as Kiima shrugged her shoulders.

"I was the one that went to tell him of our plans to find out when we would be going again into battle. He was interested just not enough to come with us." Kraqu said as his eyes landed on the ruby haired Ruby draped all over him.

"Yes I see that." The surprising thing to Takhisis was she really did not care what Ruby did with Seth as he was not to be trusted and she wanted someone worthy of her.

"Clerics bring them chairs and one extra for Seth I am sure his curiosity will get the better of him.

"First I want to thank you all and Seth if he was here for allowing these fine chaotic gods to work with me! Their skills are better utilized in subterfuge and controlling the nexuses of earth." Takhisis said as she smirked as Seth took the opened chair the farthest fro her.

"They have been able to tap into the most powerful of nexuses and I now have the chaos I need to bring this planet to its knees and my rule." Takhisis watched Seth's face and frowned slightly as his eyes began to gleam with eager anticipation.

"What of the chaotic children?" The new White Dragon General asked feeling it was safe as the queen was calm.

"We lost their signature though they are powerful they know nothing of the chaotic nexuses and if they did they do no have the skill to do anything about the fact I have had these gods block them and link them to me." Takhisis told her generals as she smiled at the White General not staying in the back grown and stepping up.

She was glad the new White and Black generals had followed the example of the Green and Blue generals and structured their branches in a similar fashion. As they, saw the outcome of the Blue and Green armies after the first battle. Seth's own arrogance won't allow him to follow the structure created by a female. Though, she is a warrior, he just won't believe she could know war like he. Then there is the fact he never really knew war and it showed in his treatment of his soldiers.

She did care for him he was a fantastic lover. She would like to keep him but his underhandedness made her angry. She could just make him a part of her harem and collect men that would please her as he planned to do with the females he wanted. She would like Kraqu but Sajnak would not be one she wanted to anger. Nor did she want to get rid of her. She brought a lot to her battles and was Kiima's colonel. She had found other ancient evil gods in her ranks and she was starting to collect them for after her rule was in place.

Takhisis and her colonels and generals went over what she and the chaos gods and goddesses had come up with. They all listened as her chaos colonels explained what they have been doing. They still needed to get more linked to Takhisis but they felt the four they had would tilt the tables more toward their queen. During the next battle, they would start linking more nexuses to her. They wanted the battle to cover their tampering, as the dragons would notice the chaos shifting.

"Won't the metallic try and stop you?" The Black Dragon General asked as he got braver.

"They might if they were looking for it. But since they do not know we are doing anything with the nexuses their fear is on protecting the three children." The red soldier of chaos told them with an evil smile.

"Is there a way to get the children as well? I mean their chaos should belong to you majesty!" The White General asked as they relaxed more in the presence of their queen.

"Yes but during the battle that will be hard to accomplish as they are under constant guard of dragons. So we will clam them as spoils of the war. Once we have them we can then attack the Faerie Realm and teach their rulers to stay out of things that does not concern them." Takhisis said glad the two new generals were being more outgoing.

"So majesty when do we attack?" Kiima asked as she smiled at her queen.

"I want at least two more of the larger nexuses then we will start the next and if it works final battle. Though this time in want the UN totally destroyed. The delegates got away the last time but if we destroy the building they have no way to keep their government apprised of their status and any information they find out well at least not quickly." Takhisis told them and they nodded.

"Oh Kiima Saffron was in the fight over China! Do you wish to battle there?" Takhisis was testing her loyalties to her old ruler.

"No majesty the one I want is Malcar! Saffron is no longer my king if I am pitted against him I will kill him but I really don't want to fight him unless I have to. He knew the nature of Malcar yet he believed his lies." Kiima's face raged but she said what Takhisis wanted t hear.

She still honor's her ex-king but if she had to take him down, she would. She nodded as she turned toback to the others. They talked about how the new training was going and it seemed the strongest branch was no longer the Red Dragon army but a tie between the green and blue. The black and white were catching up as they fought under Balkier and Genma and they were wretched in keeping them trained to fight. She dismissed all but Seth. Seth smiled as he knew she would come back to him and he would break through her stronger control over him but first he had to get her to link him to the nexuses or if he could link to the smaller ones she is ignoring.

Cerulean and Aneika were surprised it seemed all the Heirs of Happosai were fast learners. It was during one session they found out why. They had been going over the tomes and Raist had finished blocking their chaotic signature from Takhisis and Seth. Though it was not large lumped in the large group s they were in might be tempting ot her. Aneika sat back and stared at the group of twenty heirs, Nabiki, the triplets, and the two Faeries.

"I am surprised that you all have such a large learning curve." Aneika said as she stared at Torjo and the other heirs.

"I don't think any of us had the ability to learn like Ranko. However when we decided who would join the battles all over the world while the rest prepared for war in Japan. We asked Happosai to do as he did to Nabiki. We knew there would be training and we wanted to be sure that we could learn quickly. We are almost as fast as Ranko at learning during training and on the fly. We matched Nabiki's enhancement. We will continue to get better as long as we do like Ranko, and the rest of her family and keep practicing." Torjo said as they nodded.

"Happosai must care for all of you very much even though he did not know you existed until recently?" They turned to see Nodoka, Seran, and Raist behind them.

"Yes when he found his school from before Jusenkyo was still alive he was overjoyed. He worked with many of us hoping we might have busted through the lock on learning the whole school. When he could not he still trained us to learn what we could of his latest version. It is what is helping us in battle. He came to us when he found out what was happening. So we decided we would join the first attack and the others would stay back to protect Japan and if they were not needed they would spread out to the other battles to help." Kenjin told them as he placed a hand on Torjo's shoulder while he wrapped his arm around Saruka's waist.

"The school of Happosai may be what helps us win. As far as Takhisis knows we have only Ranko, Setsuko, and Micca as chotic nexuses. I am sure they feel even with the dragons help they could not learn what they needed to be of a threat. Now with all of you I fear she is in for a very nasty surprise." Raist said with a smile from ear to ear.

"So what is the status of your training?" Nodoka asked as she was about to contact the Queen and King and wanted t give them an update.

"Well with the knowledge we have received from the dragons on the ley lines and chaotic nexuses I think we can now stop Takhisis from taking the nexuses and force her to relinquish her links. Though Nabiki must be channeling Happosai as she does not thing that is a wise idea." Missagi said with a giggle as Nabiki stuck out her tongue at the other heir.

"Why not Nabiki?" Seran asked as he sort of felt the same way.

"Well think about it if we start interfering she will know you have chaos fighters. That is something we want hidden form her. The main reason for me is the triplets. If we sabotage her now she will come for them and tear earth apart to get them. If she _thinks_ she has the nexuses she will leave them alone and we can sneak around and break her links. There is something else. I have noticed Takhisis's signature on the larger sizes of nexuses. But there is another signature going after the ones she is ignoring. I think it is Seth. He may be building his chaos to overthrow her if she wins." Nabiki told them as she looked at her friends and they nodded they felt the same thing.

"Oh my!" Nodoka exclaimed as she looked at the dragons and saw them nod as Nabiki talked to them about it.

"What will you do?" Nodoka asked, as she feared they might not be able to defeat the two gods.

"Just what we were going to do with Takhisis. Since we have learned their signatures, we will start blocking the smaller insignificant nexuses Takhisis does not want. Seth is not going to tell her he was stealing the nexuses she ignored it might get him killed faster. But we won't take his links to those he has now for the same reason we won't take Takhisis." Akirie said, the fourth heir that is part of the chaos battle force.

"Now the dragons are learning what we received from the good gods. That made Torjo and I their avatars. I also allowed Cerulean and Aneika to copy all their tomes they put in my subspace. They made an extra copy for Torjo so if I am not there and he needs a tome he will have his own." Nodoka's mouth dropped opened at that information.

"So what is the part the dragons will play?" Raist asked as Seran closed Nodoka's mouth as the triplets giggled.

Nabiki lunged, got a hold of Setsuko, and began to tickle her until her laughter filled the island. She was then rescued by the other two as Nabiki tried to tickle them as well. She was waiting for Nodoka's shock to wear off as she really did not want to repeat anything. They had more training and they, were always asking questions were annoying. But she did realize that Nodoka had to update the king and queen. When she saw Nodoka was back she began.

"Since we cannot be everywhere they are going to train the other metallic and gem dragons on how to not only break Takhisis and Seth's link to the chaotic nexuses but set up blocks to prevent them from even reconnecting. They are using the evil gods of the ones that made us their avatars. I can feel their taint and what he learned here we will also be able to block any of the evil gods of chaos that are helping her." Nabiki told them as Nodoka nodded and smiled at Nabiki and her bonded Torjo.

"Thank you dear please give me reports on what is happening so I may inform the king and queen. I give her a report every three days or so." Nabiki nodded as she turned back to her training as Nodoka her husband and Raist left.

"Did Cerulean ever find how deep the bond between Nabiki and Torjo was?" Seran asked Raist as he shook his head no.

"I believe there was already one between them. I could feel it when we went to check the ley lines the first time. They are soul mates. The links the ancient gods them depended that bond even more." Rasit thought about telling them more but it was not his place to do so.

Akane watched Happosai as she worked on her homework assignments. It seemed Miya wanted to get her trained and go home. She did not care to train either girl. The other three would scowl at her causing her to cringe. They were enjoying themselves helping the girls learn. They would not start anything new until Nabiki returned. So they learned how to address Akane by watching Nabiki and they would sit with her after each class and asked if she was having troubles with what she had learned already.

They did not sound accusing voice. Miya was generally prohibited from this part of Akane's training. Akane pulled out a bright red notebook and she used this to keep track of problems she was having. She would go through and tell them what problems she could not figure out. The three teachers smiled at her desire to learn what they taught.

She told them though she loved the lyre the flute was not her favorite but she wanted to learn it better so she and Nabiki could play them together. Since she, had been learning to model with clay for her. The teachers liked that they would learn something they did not care for but did it because the other loved it. The three teachers dcowled at Miya's comment.

"This is ridiculous why are you wasting our time if you never plan to ever do what we teach you once your classes are over." Akane glared at Miya and she smiled inwardly as Nabiki taught her to glare like her Ice Queen façade, so she figured she was the Ice Princess.

"We learn because we are enjoying what you are teaching us and enjoy our teachers well three of them anyway." Akane snarled at Miya as the other three tried to hide their smirks.

'We want to learn all we can and yes we may drop what we don't care for but not completely! As it makes us happy to know it and it brings my sister and I closer together! We now have something that has made our bond stringer these classes. I know Nabiki and I will more in likely on quit what you teach us that we loath. But for now we will learn everything, we are taught. At his time there is nothing we hate that much so we will probably continue and use everything you teach us." Akane said as the other three smiled at her and one took her notebook as she sat next to her.

The other to took seats close by their friend and Akane and went over each of the issues she was having trouble with. Akane smiled happily, as she was getting better and with the meditation training from Happosai, her anger is not always the first emotion she was acting on. It was still to strong but with Happosai and her therapist she is getting better. She hopes to be done with her anger therapy when Nabiki returns.

As they went over the notebook Taleka rose and went to the supply closet she returned with a medium sized box with the items they needed to help Akane work on the issues she was having. The one student and three teachers were joined by Miya as she did not want to be left out. She would not admit it but she was enjoying herself as much as her friends. The fact they only had two students is fine. As they had all talked about it and figured the fact they did not have to divide their attention between more students was why Akane and Nabiki were learning so well.

"Master is something wrong?" Akane asked the jumpy grandmaster.

"I need to contact Nabiki but I don't know how." Happosai said as Akane knew he knew about the Faeries.

"I will lone you my stone to contact Kasumi she can put you in touch with Nabiki." Akane said as she held out the crystal still around her neck.

"Thank you child I appreciate you allowing me to use it. I will give it right back." Happosai told her as he did want to keep it but could not hurt her by taking away her only link to Kasumi.

"Kasumi? Are you there, can you talk?" Akane asked in case she was busy as she held the crystal.

'I am here little sister, and not busy at all! What do you need?" Kasumi smiled at her sister as Happosai's face appeared over her shoulder.

"Sister jiji needs to talk to Nabiki it is really important. He is so jumpy!" Akane said as Kasumi smiled at the old master and noded.

"Let him hold your crystal Akane-Chan but remember jiji the stone will only work for Akane and any attempt to keep will be unpleasant!" He nodded he understood.

Akane took off her necklace from Kasumi and handed it to Happosai. He sat down next to Akane as she picked up her project that was to help her with the problems she was having. She heard as Kasumi called to Nabiki and a agitated face appeared. Happosai gasped, as did Kasumi. Akane got up and looked over Happisai's shoulders and Nabiki has somewhat changed the ringlet was the first then they noticed. Though, Happosai and Kasumi noticed the real difference. Happosai wanted to ask about the rest but not in front of Akane. She the stood up suddenly as the clock chimed. She put her project away, looked back over Happosai shoulder, and waved at her sisters and they waved happily back.

"Akane-Chan may I use this and sit in the yard by the koi pond with it?" Happosai asked her and Akane was uncertain but since Kasumi warned she nodded and moved to the kitchen.

Happosai mived out the patio door his gaze locked on Nabiki's face. He sighed when he saw Torjo's face behind her and he too had been changed. He smiled and waved as Torjo smiled at him and waved. He sat down on the boulder and like Soun he took to carrying fish pellets in his pockets. He tossed a few in then looked around to make sure Akane was nowhere near him, he sighed and started.

"Nabiki *SIGH* what happened to you and Torjo? Did any of my other heirs change?" Happosai asked as she looked at him confused as did Torjo.

"We were training in searching the ley lines to stop the evil queen from using the larger chaotic nexuses but no it seems Seth is using those she did not want to usurp her.

"When we found one she had already linked to the ancient gods of a several long dead religions even older the the Egyptians came to me and asked that I be their avatar. I accepted the gift and the position as their avatar. I they gave me a gift over chaos I guess was how to explain it. While I was still being given the gift Torjo wrapped his arms around me and he was also given the gift. We also got all the tomes of the old gods and the dragons are helping all of us heirs to learn what we need to do. Though our team will try and break the links and block them from the two evil gods." Nabiki said quickly as she stared at the shock on Happosai and Kasumi's faces.

"Nabiki why! You are now cursed with chaos like Ranko?" Kasumi's eyes filled with tears.

"Sister I already chaotic and when I became a grandmaster my chaos went up even more. Learning jiji's school adds chaos to their lives. All the heirs here are chaotic. I needed the their help to counteract what Takhisis and Seth are doing. We are sure the evil chaotic gods are working with Takhisis. I don't mind sister I want to help and my knowledge of ancient chaotic religions will do that." Nabiki said as she felt the others gently lay their hand on her arm or shoulder or back.

"What about the rest of my heirs?" Happosai asked he was wondering if he was upset or not.

"We are here master! We were not blessed but would not have minded if we were!" One of the heirs said from off screen.

"Nabiki do you know what else happened to you and Torjo?" Kasumi asked her sister with a sad frown.

"Well the dragons said we were bonded he keeps asking us how deep the bonding was. We just don't know. We have not had time to test it we are trying to fight against the evil queen and Seth from controlling the chaotic nexuses." Nabiki's frustration was growing on her face.

"Nabiki child the gift you got is more then that!" Happosai told a confused Nabiki and Torjo.

"I what way master?" Torjo said as Nabiki stared at the dragons wondering why they did not say something.

"They gave you both power over chaos you two are not gods but your dang close! You will now live longer lives though probably not immortals it will just feel like it! They also gave you a link to them so they can help you when you are having trouble!" Happosai told them as Nabiki's eyes filled with unshed tears.

"Why jiji!? I mean I probably would have done it anyway but why not tell us all about it! Now I know how Ranma felt with no one asking for his right to choose. But then at least I could have warned Torjo!" Nabiki was pulled back into her bonded's arms as he smiled into the crystal.

"I would have done it either way! I am not letting Nabiki be alone in this!" He said as he held her tighter.

"Alright there is nothing that can be done now. Just be careful if the Dark Queen or Seth realizes what your doing...!" Nabiki shook her head and when she looked back at the old master and Kasumi the old Nabiki had returned.

"No we think Seth is going after the smaller nexuses because Takhisis does not want to waste her time with them. He we fell may be trying to usurp her reign! So he won't tell!" Happosai matched her smile as did Kasumi as a shocked Torjo looked on frightened.

"Ok Nabiki you are going to have to teach me that!" Torjo said as they all laughed.

"Go back to studying children so we can win this war and save two realms." Happosai told them as he closed his connection.

"He walked into the house both saddened and happy at the same time. As the better understanding of the chaos, that surrounds him and his school along with his heirs will be a part of the school now. He walked toward the kitchen. He stopped halfway to the kitchen and sniffed deeply as he continued on he was smacking his mouth with eager anticipation. He entered the kitchen and Akane was busy getting meal started after all the preparation work was completed.

"Here you go Akane and thank you for the use of your crystal. By the way what are you fixing! It smells like heaven in here." Akane looked at him with suspicion as he peeked into a pot and sniffed deeply.

"Do you think I could have just a little tase?" He looked at Akane with sad puppy dog eyes causing her to laugh.

"Here let me get you a little bit. Just remember it is not completed." Akane reached into a cupboard and pulled out an old coffee mug she liked to use for precooking tastes.

She filled it for him and gave him some chopsticks. She thought he would take it back into the living room but instead sat at the kitchen table. He took his first bite and smiled happily. He then gate with gusto but not to fast, as he wanted to savior what it was he was eating. Akane watched him as she started adding the ingredients to the rest of the meal. She watched as he tried to get to the gravy around the edge of the cup. She opened the oven and grabbed a saucer and pulled out a homemade biscuit she basted it with a bit of the garlic butter then sat it in front of him. His eyes opened with excitement.

"Thank you my dear!" Happosai then started to tear the biscuit in half and he took a bite of just the biscuit and enjoyed it. He then used the rest of the biscuit to wipe up the gravy.

"Thank you my dear I was right it not only smells like heaven in here but tastes like it as well! He then left the kitchen as finished, he put everything in the sink and patted her arm gently as he smacked his mouth and licked his fingers happily.

"Why did you not tell us?" Nabiki asked as she glared at Cerulean-Ranma and Aneika!" Aneika glared at the bronze blue dragaon as he transformed into a duck and waddled off toward Ranko.

"I guess he likes being able to change shapes!" A female heir giggled as she watched the blue duck head to the closest triplet which as Setsuko as she picked him up and gave him a tight hug as she went to her family.

"NOT NICE YOU BIG BLUE STINKER!" The group around the silver dragon started to laugh even Nabiki.

"Now for your question. We did not detect the change the old spoke of. He is very intuned with his students to sense that change through the Alexandrite stone. Though I am not sure how we missed it. Unless may I have your had please children." Aneika asked Torjo and Nabiki.

"She took their hands and cast a strong dragon spell which brought not only Cerulean back but the other dragons that had human forms.

"What is happening elder?" Amethyst asked as she opened her senses to learn from the ancient.

Cerulean waddled back the triplets behind him. As was their parents. They stopped as the glow around Nabiki and Torjo grew around all the other heirs. They were all not sure if they wanted what happened to Nabiki and Torjo to happen to them or not. When the silver glow stopped, she smiled as she sat down and took out one of the ancient tomes she had copied for Nabiki. Nabiki pulled out the same tome and tried to see the page number. She stiffened when Ranko whispered the page number to her as she nodded.

"Ok the gods blocked the fact you are now long lived more like dragons then elves. Though not quiet gods. They wanted to protect you from detection except from Kasumi and Happosai." Aneika said with a confused frown.

"Lady Aneika it may be that Happosai and Kasumi know Nabiki so well that hey noticed a change in something about her. Then the master and Kasumi would have delved deeper to figure out what it was." Nodoka told her the shock still on her face.

"Whoopie! So how long to you guys life? Oh wait you are at least three thousand years old even older with the ten year differential between the Faerie realm and here. OH man! This is gonna suck!" Nabiki said with a shaking her head.

"That is 'going to suck' sister!" Nabiki looked up and glowered at Setsuko as she and the other two began to giggle Nabiki could not help but smile.

"So what is going on?" Nodoka asked as Aneika told her what happened and what the gift completely entailed but was blocked from those that would have detected it.

"I think Nabiki and Torjo might need training in the breaking point. They may be long lived but not invulnerable." Nodoka said with worry.

"Do we have to?" Nabiki whined as she looked at the elder of the Aurora clan.

"Yes dear you both do! I think we need to do it now so that you both will survive the war." Nodoka stared down at the cringing girl as the heirs looked confused as those around them shuddered visibly.

"Uh, um elder what is the breaking point?" Torjo asked unsure he wanted to learn it.

"The Bakusai Tenketsu is an Amazon technique. You are trussed up with only your index finger left exposed. You are then hung from a harness and are slammed by large boulders until you can touch the breaking point in the rock. You need to learn to quickly find that point to make the boulders explode. The constant beating of the boulder will turn your boudy into a walking mountain. I think I will contact Queen Tatiana and see if we can do the training in the Aurora Valley. This way a day will go by here while you learn it in Illondra." Nodoka smiled evilly as she turned and walked to her sleeping mat.

"Is she serious!? We get hit with b...bou...boulders!" Torjo asked his bonded with fear.

"Yes all the Aurora clan has been through it. Even Auntie Tatiana and Uncle Oberon has been through it. Especially after the attack perpetrated on the palace." Ranko came up and stared down at the two new immortals.

"If it is an Amazon technique won't they be mad we know it?" Torjo asked trying not to throw up.

"Yes if we train all the heirs but since you have been blessed by deities and like us are avatars of the gods for this battle. They are protecting the fighters against the evil as best they can but I feel they will join the final battle against Takhisis and Seth." Micca said as he came up next to Ranko the uncertainty of Nabiki and Ranko being siblings.

"We all needed it as Sylphs it even strengthened our wings but not until they learned to push ki through them to make them almost indestructible. Are you our big sister too?" Setsuko asked as she was not sure she wanted Nabiki as a sister but at the same time this Nabiki she did.

"Well if I understand at your crossover Micca and Ranko went through the rebirth again to be with you. In that pod you shared all of yourselves with each other. The truth is I can sense Happosai in each of you. So to me even if tht had not happened you would still be my little brother and sister just as much as Ranko is." Nabiki smiled at the the children as they all three jumped into her harms and hugged her tightly.

Seran listened to what Nabiki said and he opened his senses to his children. He not only found himself in them but Happosai as well. He was not sure he liked that but he was a part of Ranko and as long as he did not hurt her he was fine with it. He turned and headed toward his wife a happy smile on his face. But confusion as he wondered whey he never tested that either.

Nabiki sat in her bay window in her room at the Aurora manor. She was waiting for Kasumi. She asked Nodoka to see if she could come see her. She also asked Nodoka and Seran to stay with her when she told Kasumi the truth about them. She was glad Nodoka agreed. Torjo and she had nearly completed the Bakusai Tenketsu and ready to go back to the camp island. She had called Akane several times using the Alexandrite crystal. She smiled as she remembered the conversation.

(o)(o) MEMORY (o)(o)

"Hi Akane how you and jiji getting along is daddy behaving?" Nabiki asked as she wondered if daddy stopped trying to destroy her little sister's new found skills.

"Daddy has been thrown out until you return. He would not stop and Happosai chucked him out though not permanently. Once you come home he said we can assess the need to let him back in or not." Akane's tears filled her eyes.

"We will go over it sis together. It is nice to see other emotions in you other then rage. You are making great strives if your first strongest emotions are not anger." Nabiki smiled happily at her sister as Akane blushed.

"How are the classes going? What have they been teaching you?" Nabki was actually jealous that Akane could still train and she hoped they would let her finish her lessons before Tatiana took them back to Illondra.

"They aren't. They want to wait for you to come back they enjoy watching us lern together. What we have been doing is going over my journal where I have listed all the different things I was confused on or could not get correct. There is a lot there. So they have been working with me on tho...!" Akane was cut off by the shout of Nabiki.

"WHAT! THAT'S NOT FAIR! You are going to so much better then me when I get back!" Nabiki crossed her arms as best as she could while holding the crystal and pouted at her little sister as Akane giggled.

"PPPFFFHHHHTTTT!" Akane answered and they both started laughing.

(o)(o) END MEMORY (o)(o)

Nabiki was brought out of her thoughts as the triplets ran into her room and all tried to crawl into her lap. She moved to the bed and they joined her. As they, all talked a mile a minute. The year in the Faerie Realm, allowed Nabiki the joy of getting t know her new siblings. She did not have t tell Happosai he knew Setsuko and Micca were now also his children. He however will not interfere unless Seran or Nodoka went Genma. There was no chance of that happening.

"Gammpa says momma and poppa are almost here with Kasumi!" The children could not what they were so happy to have Kasumi as a sister they were almost beside themselves.

"Ok but remember what your momma and poppa told you this important!" Nabiki told the children and they nodded.

"We have to stay in our room until we are called down until Kasumi is officially told of who our father is." Nabiki smiled at them and pulled them into a deep hug.

"Biki-Chan would you play for us?" Setsuko asked as Nabiki's playing reminder her of her little Faerie friends.

"Of course!" They all sat around her on the bed and settled in as Nabiki pulled out her flute and began to play.

The melody was soft and happy. As the children listened, they imagined playing in a field of wild flowers with their animal friends and chasing Faerie dragonflies. Playing tag and having no fear of being hut. The music filled the house and made everyone smile at how good Nabiki was. No one noticed as the children's parnts returned with Kasumi. They stopped and listened at the soft music that made them feel happy inside.

"Mother-Naja is that Nabiki?" Nodoka asked as she spotted her adopted mother.

"Yes isn't it lovely." She said with a soft smile.

"Yes it is very lovely. I almost hate t make her stop but she and Torjo have more training to do and Kasumi is here." Nodoka started for the stairs but Naja stopped her.

"I will go I will need to entertain the children until after your meeting. We know they won't mean to but they might let slip the reason for this visit." Naja said in a soft whisper.

"I have set out tea and cookies in the family room." Nodoka smiled and nodded.

She had a formal living room and dinning room put in the house but they were used for guests and visits from their family with issues or requests. She directed Kasumi into the family room and served her tea. Seran and Raist sat down and was given tea and cookies as well. There was a kock at the door and all looked up to see Nabiki standing ther.

"OOF!" Nabiki got out as the air left her lungs.

"*GASP* My word sis, *WHEEZE* you have definitely been hanging around the triplets *PUFF PUFF* to much!" Nabiki got out as the room laughed.

Nabiki led her sister back into the room closing the door behind them. Nabiki then told what happened to her and Torjo and that they were soul mates before the gifts and even more deeply bonded after. Kasumi was both happy and angry they did not tell Nabiki what all the gift contained but she was secretly happy one of her sisters would be around with her. Then she noticed as Nabiki suddenly went silent the pain on her little sister's face was so deep it hurt to look at.

"Nabiki what is wrong?" Kasumi asked her little sister.

"I have to build up to that Kasumi, but first Genma would not have been able to take the house. Daddy had no legal right to give him a deed. I checked with the records his deed was a forgery. The property and house belong to mom's family it always had. They gave mom the house to raise her family in. We are still permitted to stay even after I found out what I have to tell you." Nabiki started laying the groundwork for the revelation.

"*GASP*" Kasumi could do not but gasp at that information.

"The Iemitsu clan is not happy with what happened but at the same time glad that only Akane is daddy's daughter." Nabiki started as her words sank in Kasumi's eyes bulged out in disbelief then anger.

"NABIKI! Mother would never...didn't…!" Nabiki put a gentle hand on her sister's arm.

"No not willing Kasumi, it seems that Happosai had prevented mother from getting pregnant he knew she was ill. He however wanted heirs that could learn the full school of Anything Goes. So he artificially inseminated not only mom but Nodoka-san as well. He tried to impregnate Nodoka more then once but she miscarried. You, Ranko, and I are Happosai's children. Setsuko and Micca became genetically connected to him at the crossover of Setsuko." Nabiki was not watching Kasumi as her head was bowed as she told what she had found out.

"Who told you this? Why is Akane not his child?" Kasumi's voice was ice cold and caused Nabiki to shudder.

"Happosai it is the truth Kasumi I can sense him in my ki and you will to if you look. Akane was not supposed to be born. Happosai knew if she had a third child her remission would end. But daddy wanted a son and talked her into have another child. Happosai was locked away after I was born. He could have helped heal mom but he could not get free. He did not lock away her ability to conceive but daddy and Genma locked him away before he could." Nabiki told her as she felt her plop down on the sofa where she sat.

"Did father and Akane know?" Kasumi asked her voice still cold but the pain started to filter in.

"I don't think so, but the Iemitsu clan will let us remain in the house until we either pass on or move out. I know I will stay there until I graduate college. Where ever I move after that there will always be a place in my home for you and Akane. Though with her new behavior and skills she will probably want to live on her, own to start her own life. I will let her know I will always be available if she needs help." Nabiki sighed as Kasumi took her hand in hers.

"How is she doing?" Kasumi wanted to change the subject for a few minutes to get her mind around what she was hearing.

"Well I had to complain to her. The teachers decided not to teach anything new until I returned so they have been helping her with things she was having trouble with. I told her it was not fare that she would be better then me! She liked that it made her smile. Happosai has gotten her to learn to meditate and it seems to be helping her control her anger. She is not falling back on her anger and learning to feel other emotions and to understand them." Nabiki told her sister as Kasumi calmed enough to ask more questions.

"What about Happosai?" She asked realizing it was the wrong thing to do.

"Well have you ever understood by he forced daddy to let him stay with us? He wanted to prevent him and the panda from forcing you or me to marry Ranma. He really did not want his son married to Akane. So he kept them apart but not as blantant. He knew what they were doing they wanted slaves to run the school so they could steal everything." Nabiki told her sister still not looking at her but did not see the shock.

"Nabiki you can't be sure about that!" Kasumi asked as Nabiki pulled out an manila envelope that was eight and half inches by fourteen inches and handed to her.

"After I found out the Iemitsu clan owned the house I dug deeper including in daddy's safe. He knew the house could not be given legally to the panda and Ranma. But he did it anyway he wanted to wait until Ranma got his school up and running then he would kick the panda _and_ Ranma out and run the school himself. He would not need me to make the money so he would either make me ronin or just let me go on my merry way. I think the latter as he might need my expertise to get rid of the panda if he come back." Nabiki heard the papers rustle as she looked up and stared out a window in the room.

She jumped slightly as a golden reptilian eye the size of helo-pad stared back at her. She just caught a glimpse of copper. Nodoka saw where she was staring and went to the window. She talked to the dragon and told him he had not right to lesion on private matters of others. She also told him the children would be told once Kasumi came to grips with it. The dragon nodded but she felt the waves of his thoughts push against her. SHe was surprised she could not hear what he said but she could feel him telepathically talk to Nodoka. She wondered if she could enhance that to feel the emotion in the thoughts. It might help during the war. She pulled out her journal and wrote down her ideas.

"I see you are right father did not know we were not his children. Though, when this is over he will not be happy. I fear Akane may not either and go back to the way she was." Kasumi said as she handed the envelope back to her sister who shook her head and pulled out another one with Akane's name on it. Then she pulled out a third with her name on it.

"That is why we need to tell her alone. Let her see all I have gathered. Since I had help from Masaki-san she cannot dispute the information as my lying." Nabiki said as she slipped her notebook back into her subspace bocket.

"Alright but should we still call him father I mean Happosai is our father." Kasumi did not like that idea at all.

"Well once he finds out he will not want us to. Jiji is fine with being called Happosai or jiji as he never had a chance to be a father to us since daddy and the panda locked him away. I don't think he would have tried to be a father more like a grandfather or a father figure." Nabiki told her sister as Kasumi wrapped her arms around Nabiki and pulled her into a deep hug.

"Is there anything else?" Kasumi asked as Nabiki shook her head no.

"well then I would like to hug my new sisters and brother and future brother-in-law." Kasumi rose and turned at the should from Nabiki.

"Kasumi! He hasn't asked me that yet or even if he will!" The room busted out laughing.

(l(l(l)l)l)

Torjo sat near the shield as he waited for Nabiki. She always liked to watch out at the sea creatures that surrounded the island. It seems they could not really see them but they knew they were there. One Orca seemed to like to stay near the island. He would swim around the island as if on guard duty. He and his pod seemed to try to protect both islands. When they came into view Torjo put his hand on the shield and the whale stopped and faced the islan. He then gently touched the shield where Torjo's hand rested.

"I am going to miss them! I think I will see if I can get something to allow me to come visit them." Torjo turned to see Nabiki behind him.

"How you feeling Biki-Chan?" Torjo walked up and enveloped her in his arms as she wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest.

"Well the pain is finally gone! I feel like a walking mountain! I hate what my and Kasumi's has to deal with. Right now we only have each other. At least the triplets have Nodoka and Seran. Kasumi has Tofu." Nabiki said as she wanted to say she had him but was afraid she did not haave him.

"You do have me as well Biki-Chan don't ever forget it. Now that we are back, I want to ask you something. I can feel the changes coming I think Takhisis is going to start up again. It was a good idea for us to link to the ley lines." Torjo said as he kissed the top of her head as they led her to a boulder near the shield and sat with her as they looked out into the sea.

"Yes I feel it as well. So, do the dragons and the other heirs. Though, their links are not as strong. They have been feeling the changes. Then with the training with the dragons you and I can now at least sense their emotions and when they might be talking. Cerulean insisted that we try and see if we could follow the transmissions to who they are sent." That was the hardest part but we did it. Now we can sense when the dragons are up to something, I hope." Nabiki said as Torjo held her tightly and nodded his head.

"Well we can do like Ranko and make it better and stronger. I had been starting to add ki and chi to my senses when I felt the push and though I still cannot read their thoughts I feel I know more then what we were before." Torjo said as Nabiki sighed and nodded.

"That still ticks me off after living with Ranma for over three years I shold have thought about doing that. Though, I was talking to Kenjin he said the other heirs have been doing the changes and hey are getting more information. It might even save their lives and those they are fighting with." Nabiki said as they had also taught the triplets but Ranko and the others had already been doing it and taught her and the heirs what changes they made.

"You know I have learned a lot from those three. I don't mean the martial arts but more on how to adapt in a fight how to learn techniques used against me and alter techniques on the fly to suit the situation I am in. We all have. Though, our gift makes us even faster." Torjo wished the others had the choice to join them as Avatars but it might have put them and their families in danger.

"Now how about that question I wanted to ask?" Torjo said as Nabiki sat up and looked at him confused, she hated being confused she guessed she was like Akane but instead of anger, hers was the ice Queen.

Torjo loved that look it was so out of place on his face. He leaned forward and kissed Nabiki gently on the lips and as Nabiki leaned into the kiss they wrapped their arms around each other and let the love that was growing inside them wash over them. They separated and Torjo had pulled free a jewelry box of d deep burgundy velvet. He opened the box and inside was the most exquisite set of three rings though one looked to be a man's ring.

"I had I made in the Faerie Realm. Did you know they have a Foreign Currency Exchange office! I had been drawing what I wanted ever since I met you. After our gift I added that to design. I hope you don't mind?" Torjo said as she looked down at the rings then looked up quickly and shook her head no.

"I liked the stone denoting the Faerie queen and king I decided to do the saem. I choose our favorite colors. So the blue diamond is you and the red diamond is me!" Torjo said as he took the engagement ring from the box and looked at Nabiki.

The three rings were defiantly a set. He followed the design of the ringlets and medallions. He had the three bands were Asian dragons. On the wedding bands, they were white and yellow gold dragons that were twisted ant the mauls met and just barely touched the small stones silver diamond. On the male wedding ring it was a one and half carat silver diamond on the female wedding ring it was a carat.

The engagement ring was three Asian dragons braided from white, rose, and yellow gold. The three dragons mauls made the front of the ring. Their head were raised slightly from the band, faced, and held the stone in the center. The heads were slightly held back so the stone could be put the stone between the heads. It was like a loose 'S'. The stone like the royal couples was merging into each other and was of a blue diamond and a red diamond and they feathered into each other.

"Nabiki will you please be my wife?" Torjo asked as he slipped the ring in her finger.

Nabiki watched as the ring slid on her finger. She jumped as the ring adjusted to fit her finger perfectly. Then it glowed and surrounded her. She looked up her eyes filled with unshed tears. She lunged forward and kissed Torjo passionately as she pulled from the kiss she hugged him tightly and whispered with all the love she felt for him.

"I would be honored to be called your wife!" Nabiki gently kissed his hear then pulled back but stayed in Torjo's arms.

"I had the rings magically enhanced to protect them from theft and us. When we get married and all three rings are on our fingers there will be a pretty awesome light show." He smiled at her as she looked up from her ring into Torjo's face.

"But how you don't have gemstones in your pockets?" Nabiki had forgotten what he told her before he brought out the rings.

"The Fearie realm exchanges currency for dignitaries and visiors like us. I had Raist help me get to the jewelers They were not done when we left so he took what I owed and went and got them for me. He paid for the protection as an engagement gift." Torjo said as they felt the spies behind the boulder.

"You know they are there doin't you?" Nabiki whispered to her new fiancé.

"Yeah they showed up after the light show." Torjo whispered back.

"Alright we know you are there I just proposed and she said YES!" Torjo said as he hugged his new fiancée and laughed happily!

Their friends came from behind the boulder along with the triplets. Their friends had to wait until the children brought them back down to the ground but it seemed they kept flying. They turned as Nodoka, Seran, and Raist appeared and smiled up at her laughing children and stepdaughter.

"Children, there are other that wish to congratulate the happy couple." Nodoka said quietly which always amazed the heirs as the children heard her and brought down the newly engaged couple.

They were then swarmed by their friends and Nodoka. They talked excitedly as to when they were going to marry, where the wedding will be held, and whom they were inviting. Nabiki just smiled as they all talked at once as Torjo kept his arms around her waist from behind and smiled a large happy and goofy smile. After an hour of questions the happy couple just smiled at the excitement wore down since there was no time for decisions as word came the dragon armies had began to fight again.

The new team and the other heirs followed everyone out and headed to their positions. The heirs did as they did before split up and went to each of the battles and helped fight the incoming incursion. The new Chaos Team faded thanks to Ranko insisting they know the Umi-Sen-Ken and Yami-Sen-Ken to protect themselves as she was sure there was going to be protection around the nexuses.

The group flew to the first nexus they could find that was blocked. They read the signature and realized it was one of Seth's. They tapped their vast knowledge repository and working quickly broke the first blockage. They then protected it from future tampering. They wish they could judge if Seth noticed or not.

{"Nabiki, Torjo I am fighting near Seth he just paused and stared toward the direction you flew when we arrived. He then shook his head and is continuing to fight."} The voice of Sakura a grandmaster of the earth, air, water, shadow told them.

{"Thanks Sakura did he seem sure he felt something or just acted confused?"} Torjo asked as he wanted to be sure.

{"He seemed more confused then anything else."} Sakura stated as she fought with her other teammates.

{"Ok keep us informed the Dark Queen may be harder to hide from as she probably still has the Chaos god squad with her."} Torjo told her as Sakura heard the giggles of Nabiki and their other teammates.

The Chaos warriors moved on they followed the ley lines from nexus to nexus. They felt the power of Seth as he left a stream of his magic in the lines linking to each of the Nexuses he commandeered to rule this world. They decided to save Takhisis' collection until they stopped Seth. He had gathered a lot of the smaller ones. He stayed away from the medium to large or larger ones figuring Takhisis would use those.

The small group worked more carefully as they use Seth as their barometer that they were doing it correctly. They were trying to fix it so he felt nothing as they took away his connections. They also came across many nexuses that ere left alone. They instantly blocked them. The blocks they were using would allow the nexus and ley lines to be protected yet work as they were suppose to. This prevented them from going critical. They would also purge the ley lines of Seth's magic. The purging was also to protect them as well.

{"Anyone with Seth we just blocked five more did he notice!"} Missagi asked as the Chaos Warriors moved on to the next blocked nexus.

{"No he does not seem agitated at all! What ever you did it worked!"} Usaki's voice came through the link.

{"What about the dragons? They are chaotic are they noticing?"} Nabiki's voice came in to the conversation.

{"No, is that how you are going to know if Takhisis figures it out when you go after her collection."} Sakura asked them.

{"Yes since she is not at the battle unless she is loosing."} Kenjin put in with a bit of aloofness as he followed another ley lin to a cluster of small nexus.

{"Thanks guys we have a cluster coming up we think it is Seth's but we don't detect any signatures."} Missagi continued as they moved in on as the Chaos Warriors explained trying to add to the others training as they went.

They reached the cluster and found six very small nexus surrounding a large one. They blocked the si then moved on the larger nexus in the center. They all detected the strange signature. Nabiki bowed her head as it was the evil version of the gods that gave her and Torjo the gift. The others shuddered at the power in the link to the nexus.

{"The signature is so powerful! Will we be able to remove it and block the nexus?"} The male Sylph Jaarker asked his leaders.

{"I am not sure it seems like there is five no six distinct signatures. I feel Takhisis in the mix. So she is adding her power to her blocks as well as five other of the evil gods of Chaos."} The female Sylph Narine asked them as they all nodded.

The group unable to see each other never noticed as they all glowed brightly with the a rainbow of meging and shifting colors. They were the seven colors of the rainbow and they were all covered in it. When the color faded they all seemed stunned as they could not see each other but they had felt the power of the gods they were the avatars for.

{"Well that was interesting!"} Torjo said as he smiled as he now knew what to do.

{"Did all of you feel that?"} Nabiki asked as she started deciphering what the five evil gods and Takhisis did.

{"Yes I think all six of us was being sent a message from gods that gave you your gift."} Missagi said with a shudder at the power.

{"Well it is nice to know they are helping. Ok now let's see if we can take down Takhisis' power faster then she can stop us."} Jaarer said with an evil grin no one could see but they did feel.

{"You will need to explain that later but we are watching the dragons for any indication of your realignment of the nexus."} Raist's voice came in as it was decided they were to keep the entire army up to date so they all could give them the feedback they needed.

The group of six warriors worked gently but quickly. It took them twenty minutes to undo what the evil gods and Takhisis did. Once they got it done they quickly put up a block and cleared the ley lines to the larger nexus. They then waited for a response to their meddling. It came again from Raist.

{"The dragons did not even notice any changes are you finished."} Raist asked as the group moved on.

{"Yes we just finished the block and clearing the trail in the ley lines. We are moving on to the next one."} Torjo said as the group stayed close using their fighter's sense to keep track of each other.

{"Did Seth notice he is a god of Chaos even though Takhisis had that nexus he should have sensed it?"} Nabiki asked any near the Red Dragon General.

{"No he did not notice not even a little."} The voice was Neta's as she attacked a green dragon army warrior with anger and rage at loosing out on Torjo but she was not to mad as she never really had him and he was only a dalliance anyway.

{"Could we be that lucky!?"} Nabiki said with surprise.

{"THE DARK QUEEN IS VERY ARROGANT! SHE FEELS ONCE SHE DOES SOMETHING THERE IS NO ONE BUT HER THAT CAN UNDO IT!"} Cerulean's thoughts came through to them.

{"Ok thank you all! We are going to speed up our attacks let us know if anything changes _no matter_ how minor you might think it is!"} Torjo said as he stressed part of his instructions.

Soun slept soundly though not a nice soft bed it was better then the cold ground. He woke and headed downstairs. He left the hid-a-stairs down in case he needed a fast getaway to his hiding spot. He checked the refrigerator for any leftovers and was over joyed there was enough for a day or two. He checked the freezer and found it stocked. He moved to the pantry and it also was full. He wanted to watch the news but feared any neighbors still in the area would hear and call the police. As he prepared his breakfast he found a small transistor radio. He would have to pick up extra batteries later.

Soun turned on a news channel as he sat at the table with his meal. He dropped his chopsticks as the words '...the second battle has started'! Soun worried he knew Nabiki was there and though she meant little to him but to bring in money he still worried, as he did not want to be alone with Akane. He knoew in one of his depressive moods he would kill her. She stole Kimiko from him. It would not be so bad if he had a son.

Soun listened as he wished he could watch the newscast to see if he could see his daughter. He perked up at the description of Ranko no wait there were two Rankos and a male version " He thought about forcing the marriage to this male Ranma. Then he could get back in the house and throw out Nabiki but still make her support the shouse. She was not sure how to do that but he would think on it. Though she was a better cook then Akane as the youngest still slipped back into her old ways. When he finished he washed the dishes with a soapy dishrag and left the to try for later use. He moved through the house and headed back upstairs. As he climbed the attic ladder he heard the front door opening. He moved quickly up the stairs and closed it tightly against the intruders.

He listened and heard children. They were back the family had returned. Though with the new battle he tought they would stay away. He moved to his little fort, crawled in, and waited. The noise came up the stairs to the second floor. He heard the children laughing as they ran t their rooms. He did not move he barely breathed. As the, voices of the parents hurried their children along. He heard their muffled voices but could not hear what they were saying.

Soun moved from his hiding spot and listened at the stairs but it did not help. He moved slightly as he heard the wand being entered into the hidden stairs. He moved deftly back to the far corner where his temporary home was. The stairs opened and a young man of thirty entered the attic. He went to one of the baskets where Soun and found the blankets. He watched as the man took three of them. He rose to leave when he reached in and grabbed two more. As he called for his wife he dropped the blankets to her. He then moved to a trunk and unlocked it. He opened it and pulled out two large strong boxes. He then closed the trunk not locking it. He rose and headed down the stairs as they headed down to the first level.

Soun stayed there he heard the family as they pilied back into their little mini van and left. Soun rose and ran to the trunk and opened the lid. He found it empty. There were nothing but miscellaneous papers that did not mean much to him. He stopped when he found a roll of bills under the papers stuffed in a corner of the trunk. He took it, counted the money, and smiled. He could move to an expensive hotel but that would eat through his money. He searched some more removing the papers and shaking them over the trunk.

He found two more wads of cash they had been hidden there for a while, as the rubber bands were rotten. He also found some loos change he put in his pocket. He held the three bundles of cash and frowned he realized he was just as bad as Saotome. Then he figured if the man knew the money was there he would have dug through the papers to get them. He had rationalized his theft then crawled back into his bed and went back to sleep. With all the money he had he could get a hotel but since he was not sure how long the war would last he decided to stay put.

Kuno was in an institution his remarks about raping his sister until he could kidnap to other girls put him there for observation. Hiromi was able to put a lock on his assets. Kodachi agreed to allow her to use his trust fund to pay his bills but nothing more. Since when he entered the institution her grandfather was very explicit he looses everything. Kodachi was worried, as she had not heard from either Nabiki or Saruka since they went to fight the dragons.

Then two days later she got letters from them. It seemed they were misdirected as the post office did not know she lived in her grandfather's home. She found them in her private P.O. Box. She called Hiromi all excited that she had found all their letters in her post office box. She just did not know how to get them a response. But she was happy her friends were safe.

Hiromi had gone to the institution and explained that Kuno has lost all his property and money in accordance with his grandfather's will. However, the remaining heir will pay for his stay at the institution and therapy. She told them they were to send the bills to her and that she will pay for what she feels was necessary and any padding or attempt to misappropriate funds would bring down the rath of the Kuno clan. She saw they all knew the power of the clan even after the death of the patriarch.

She left the numbers she could be reached at and where to send the bills. When she finished she left the clinic and called Kodachi on her way home. She told her what happened at that she would monitor her brother's progress and let her know. She told the young woman she would receive all the bills at her office and if she wanted to go over them with her she wold let her know when they arrived. Kodachi felt Hiromi would not cheat her but she would like to know how he is doing. Hiromi smiled as Kodachi still cared for her brother.

Hiromi set up an appointment for Kodachi to come in and discuss what she wanted to do with the Kuno manor. Since Tatewaki is now labeled criminally insane, he is forbidden by her grandfather's will to have any inheritance. Kodachi sighed and agreed. The meeting was for tomorrow and she promised not to come alone as her father was still on the loose. After she hung up she put all of Kodachi's information in her subspace pockets. She had learned how to section off her one big pocket. She followed Ranko's example and had two smaller pockets at her wrists for weapons use and retrieval.

She now kept all her extremely sensitive files in a small subspace pocket along with all her magical items. There is nothing left stored in her office. She still put protections on her private office and main office as usual. Her secret hiding space was now kept empty but she still protected it as it might come in handy later on. She called for dinner as she had a lot to get ready for tomorrow's meeting. When she hung up the phone ran. She picked it up and listened. She then took out a notebook and wrote down what the caller told her. She frowned as she listened intently to the voice. There was something familiar about it. When she hung up, she picked up the phone and waited for a response.

Her assistant came in with her dinner and the bill. She gave her a twenty and told her to tell the delivery boy 'keep the change'. The other end of the phone finally picked up a groggy, sounding Kodachi answered. She became more suspicious as when she said hello Kodachi asked her who? She rose and locked her door. She then disappeared and appeared under the Umi-Sen-Ken in Kodachi's bed room. She frowned as Kodachi was tied to a chair and next to her was her father. He had papers and a pen trying to get Kodachi to sign.

She looked up when someone tried to enter the room. The pounding told her the rest of the house did not know what was going on. Kuno senior rose and slapped his daughter hard he had knocked over her chair and Hiromi had seen enough. She waved her hand and the door unlocked and Kodachi's father froze he cold not move. She then flew in quickly and snatched the papers he was trying to force Kodachi to sign. She then scattered them on the floor near Kodachi's chair as the door finally burst open.

Her guardians moved quickly and hogtied her father. The house keeper went to Kodachi and began to take pictures of the damage her father had done. She frowned as she spotted the papers. She called the head of her security…Akitaro when he turned she handed him the papers and his face went from annoyed to rage. He pulled out a cellphone and waited he talked for a moment then smiled as Hiromi magically listened to who he was talking to. It seems both Kodachi's brother and father was going to out of her life for a long while.

Hiromi disappeared back to her office then just in timed to hear the Akitaro's voice. She picked it up and acted shocked, as she had just been talking with a very sleepy Kodachi. He told her what had happened and that her father was being prepared for the police. She was happy now Kodachi had a chance at a happy life but she worried the girl would withdraw. Then she thought of how happy she was Nabiki and Saruka sent her letters. She smiled and figured between the three of them they would make sure she found true caring friends.

She asked Akitaro to let her know what hospital she could find Kodachi but he told her they would be taking care of her at the house. They ahd called her grandfather's doctor. Well his son as he had passed not to long after her grandfather. If they need to get her to the hospital they would. Hiromi was angry and about to yet at the man when a voice behind him did it for her.

"WHAT! YOU GET THIS WOMAN TO A HOSPITAL OR I WILL!" Akitaro turned and found the young doctor his face a mask of rage then Akitaro heard Hiromi's voice over the receiver.

"Tell the doctor I have already sent an ambulance. If Kodachi is ever, itll and you are not sure what is wrong call him and let him decide if she needs medical attention. Being beaten by her father has to be tracked by records such as pictures, doctor's reports, hospital visits, witnesses and so on." Hiromi heard a small 'hai' from Akitaro.

She then heard him tell the doctor. She hung up the phone as soon as she her the EMTs (Dani: emergency medical transit) rush the room. She hoped Kodachi was not to badly hurt she wanted to heal her but could not they had to record what happened. She did not which hospital and as she finished her meal she prepared to leave. She heard a knock at her front door. She shrunk down, fluttered to her little sitting space in the door at the top, and looked out. She frowned, as it was Akitaro. She jumped from the door and as she touched down, she was full-grown.

She exited her office making sure to cast her protection spell. She locked it and went to the front door to see him waiting impatiently. She moved to the door and unlocked it. Akitaro came in and handed her the papers the house keeper had given him. He also found another stack in his briefcase which would haver her sign way her inheritance as the first set had her give Tatewaki's inheritance to him. She made a show of putting them in her briefcase as soon as Akitaro turned away she blocked what she was doing and slipped them into subspace. She closed her briefcase and turned to the Ninja bodyguard.

"Alright would you please take me to the hospital? I need to make sure there are specific blood tests taken." Akitaro nodded and she followed him out the door locking it and casting the protection spell.

"You might want to call ahead as the doctor was more concern to check her over for internal injuries and since you have power of attorney for such incidents." He left the last sentence unspecified but she knew what he ment.

Hiromi called the emergency room and talked with the doctor taking care of Kodachi until her physician arrived. She told him he was not to give the results to anyone not even her doctor as he was officially not her doctor. The doctor agreed he would not give any test results to anyone but her. She thanked him as they hung up. Akitaro glared at her as she refused to sit alone in the back seat it made her feel uncomfortable.

"I do not know this doctor you called nor does Kodachi. Just because his father took care of her grandfather does not means she wants his son to take care of her. I believe she as her own physician if not she will decide." Akitaro nodded with a worried frown.

"You did good Akitaro you did not know if she had a doctor and you knew this one from her grandfather's doctor. She might decide she likes him. It is you never had to do this for Kodachi so you fell back on what you did to protect her grandfather. I like that as she needs protecting well mentally she is quite the scrapper." Akitaro smiled slightly as he was afraid he would be asked to leave his mistress and in the short time he and been with her he liked her a lot.

(l(l(l)l)l)

Akitaro and Hiromi entered the hospital they were accosted by the young doctor Akitaro called. Hiromi looked at Akitaro and he blushed then mouthed 'Doctor Nasaki. She nodded and smiled at the big man then turned to the doctor with a cold but disarming smile. Being friends with Nabiki she learned a lot.

Akitaro watched with a smirk as the young doctor deflated. Akitaro was five feet eight inches. He had black hair and was young about forty-five. He had just started as Kodachi's grandfather's guard. He had a round but lean face with full short black hair. HIs large eyes were cedar brown. He ahd a long lean nose that ended over a thin upper lit and the botton lip is a bit thicker. It gave him the appearance of a permanent pout. He was lean and muscular but not overpowering. He did not wear ninja garb but he did wear black. He wore a black sports jacket with black denim jeans and black biker boots. Under his jacket was a mock turtleneck lightweight knit. He wore a dark burgundy. Though Hiromi knew the others in the hospital did not know, there were twenty ninja warriors hiding in the few shadows in the waiting room and where Kodachi was being taken care of. The females were in her actual room.

"Ah Doctor Nasaki how is she?" Hiromi asked as he frowned at her.

"I don't know they won't let me see her! I am her...!" Hiromi cut him off with a cold smile that almost puet Nabiki to shame.

"Doctor your father was her grandfather's doctor! Akitaro did the right thing calling you as Kodachi needed help until the ambulance arrived. You however are not her doctor until she says you are. Now I will allow you to help treat my client and _friend_ for now but until she agrees you are just a hospital doctor protecting her." Hiromi did not see the smirk on Akitaro's face Nasaki thought had.

Doctor Hiro Nasaki was about twenty-five he finished his residency early as he was a genius that and when he asked to train with his father as he wanted to be a doctor too his father took him with him to visit all his patients. He had an oval face with chocolate brown hair that hung just passed his shoulders. He wore it in a pigtail. His eyes were cinnamon with gold flecks they were not small but just slightly larger. He had a medium length nose that ended over pair thick lips but not overly so. He was muscular but not thin he did not have a fighters grace but he worked out. He was five feet nine inches tall. He wore dark gray suit with a double-breasted jacket. He wore a light blue shirt with a solid black tie. He wore black loafers on his feet.

"Yes I agree reluctantly but since she did not request my services I will abide by your stipulations." He said with a scowl at Hiromi who just smiled sweetly at her she turned when the ER doctor entered the main waiting room.

"Hiromi-san, I am Doctor Tomo may we speak privately?" The new doctor asked as she nodded.

"Yes though Doctor Nasaki and Akitaro must join us. Though, Doctor Nasaki is not yet her doctor officially until she agrees. I am permitted to make decisions of a temporary nature for her. Akitaro is head of her security and will need to know what to watch for as she mends." The doctor frowned but quickly nodded as Akitaro glowed brightly.

"Show off!" Hiromi whispered to Akitaro as they followed the nervous doctor to a private office.

As the group entered, Doctor Tomo motioned to the chairs for the three people. He shut the door putting up the 'do not disturb' sign. He moved to the chair behind the desk and pulled opened the file resting on the center of his desk. He frowned as he rubbed his eyes as he hated this part of his job but it had to be done.

Doctor Ryosuki Tomo was almost fifty he had blue-black hair with gray streaks. It was cut short in a miliatray buzz cut. He had a triangle shaped face. His eyes were slightly on the small side but not piggish they were dark ginger. He a short noes that ended over a pair of full lips. He was thin but had the start of a paunch he was short at five feet six inches and walked slightly like a duck with a duck like waddle. He wore a white doctor's coat over a set of green hosptial attire. on his feet were athletic shoes covered in plastic booties.

"Let me start it for you doctor. You called the police because of the beating she just endured." Hiromi watched as he nodded.

"Well her father was just arrested he snuck into her home and tried to force her to sign over her inheritance and that of her brother's as it fell to her when he was institutionalized. Since it was for the criminally insaned he lost his inheritance and it was given to Kodachi." Hiromi saw as his shoulders relaxed.

"What about the blood work? I know many drugs take longer to find but was there anything that showed up in the initial tests." Yes, if you had not called and demanded the tests we would have lost it. We found Reniphal (Dani: date rape drug) and enough Oxi-codon to kill her. We pumped her stomach I think she should be fine but I need to keep her here a day or two to be sure. I also sent her stomach contents to the lab as well." Hiromi said as she held out her hand for the report.

"Is this the only copies?" She asked as the doctor shook his head no.

"I have a set for the detective when they show up." Hiromi smiled and nodded.

"Alright when you get the rest of the reports and have finished gather everything about the injuries you will call me at this number I can have you fax me the rest or if you prefer I will come and get thm." Hiromi said as she was angry at Kodachi's father for doing this to her.

"I would prefer not to fax we are not permitted by law." Hiromi nodded and agreed to what for his call.

"Now we wish to talk with the officers when they arrive. For Kodachi's protection, there are several guars in her room. They are shadow ninjas and female. So she is protected just on the off chance her father pulls a Kuno card out that will get him out of jail." Hiromi snarled as she looked at Akitaro who shook his head no again with an evil smile.

RING...RING...RING

"Tomo, yes alright send them back!" He hung up and rose to meet the guests coming in.

(l(l(l)l)l)

The battles raged all over earth. The Aurora clan was still in the United States. When the first battle ended for a few days, they were able to get the delegates out of the fallout shelter under the UN building. They then transported them to a hidden shelter to keep them safe. As the new battle began the fighters over the UN acted as if the delegates were still in the building. They wanted to keep the branch of Dragon Army busy to keep the innocent protected. No one knew the delegates were gone. As far as all was concerned they were still under the UN building.

That was except for the Faerie fighters they could sense them missing from the underground shelter. They however never said a word. They just fought the invading dragons and their armies. If they could keep them, busy to give Nabiki and her Chaos Warriors to take back earth's chaotic nexuses. If they can deplete her access to the chaos, they can weaken her and take her down. They just hope it will not be as long as the battle of Krynn.

The triplets and their mounts fought in the forefront of the battle flanked by their parents and Raist. They attacked with the most brutality. The children was trying to save their new home the adult to protect the children. Micca on Cerulean was the key weapon. As Cerulean's partial change, he has brought to the battle the breath weapoin of the blue and bronze. It goes without saying the chromatics has never had to face that. As it had happened before but not quite the same it is a rare occurrence and even rarer where they stay in part chromatic.

Then there was the children working with him to combine the two breaths he can do it in any form with no damage to himself or he can use each alone. The dual breaths fighting other dragons were the best as it allowed them to weaken an already with acid and send a blast of electricity or his lightening with chi and ki which usually ended the evil dragon and its rider. So, he used the combination of all his powers.

The devastation at the UN was noticed not by Takhisis but by the military they wanted Cerulean if they cold learn how he did that they could stop all tyrants. The problem was if they tried to take him the entire Faerie army would disappear along with the Amazons and other fighters from Jusendo. They realized they were better then any one hundred armies. Maybe they could work out an agreement where the dragon is part of it.

Cerulean shuddered for some reason. He did not like the feeling tht came over him. He tried to push it down and use that feeling toward the enemy. He and the triplets had been doing acrobatics in flight. They included the other dragon riders some learned many did not. Lady Victoria that carried Ranko did as did Amethyst Star, and Wind Raven. It has saved the riders and dragons many times over. It also turned out when they returned for rest or a lull in fighting the dragons and riders wanted training. It was hard as the riders never went back to Illondra with the resting dragons.

They however learned quickly during the battles. It made a big difference in the battles, as they metallic dragons were harder to hit. They riders learned quickly how to stay on and allowed the dragons to do the moves they needed to. As they did, the dragons told them what to do as they learned with riders back in Illondra and how they had to stay aboard.

(l(l(l)l)l)

The battle over China, Russia, and Europe had the largest contingent of Takhisis, earth, and Faerie armies. They also fought what was left of Prince Herb's Musk and Saffron's Phoenix Warriors. The battle was gruesome as Takhisis's warriors did not know the terrain and Kiima who did was fighting in Africa. Many of the defending forces use the dragons and their riders as surprise attacks as the Musk and Phoenix follow suit and help them in doing hit and runs on the forces of Takhisis.

Unknown to all but the Faeries the Chaos Warriors had entered the battle. They fought as needed but when they found the nexuses they faded under the Umi-Sen-Ken and dismantled the network Seth and Takhisis set up to them rule earth. They even made attacks under the technique especially when the evil dragons got to close.

They moved deeper into China and found themselves in Jusendo Wally. The missing mountain, citadel and Amazon villages were unmistakable. The fact the springs were gone but the cliffs that use to surround them were left behind. Nabiki found the nexus they were looking ofr. It was tapped by Seth. Though it was quite large, it was smaller then it use to be.

It seemed his link to the center of where Jusenkyo use to be was also ran from the springs into the area where the Amazons use to live. Only the Musk and Phoenix had some of their people stay behind. They slowly worked on Seth's connection. It turned out he made this link very intricate as it went from the nexus at Jusenkyo to all the Amazon villages returned to the springs nexus then moved to where the mountain use ot be back again then to the missing citadel. Nabiki feared that the link might include their new home. She searched but did not find any evidence of that but would need to verify it.

They worked for several house untangling the links Seth installed in the Jusendo valley. They finally finished and then blocked all the nexus and cleaned the lay lines of Seth's taint. As they started to leave Nabiki stopped and surged her gift into the valley. She cleansed it of any residue they might have missed. Though, she was unable to see if Seth's locking affected anything else. She was unable to tell. As they flew off she contacted Nodoka and Seran and told them of her and her teams fears.

(l(l(l)l)l)

{"Nodoka! Seran! Raist! Are you there?"} Nabiki decided to add Rasit as he trained with them and would be able to go with the dragons during a shift change to check the new home of Jusendo Valley.

{"Yes dear we are here what is wrong!?"} Nodoka responded as she flet all three link in.

{"I think at the next shift change you need to send Raist back with the dragons. I think Seth may have connected with Jusenkyo before you moved it. If he did that means he might have access t the new Jusendo Realm."} Nabiki said with an urgent tome.

{"Alright dear I will contact an elder so she can return with a dragon where she is. Are you sure it did?"} Nodoka asked hoping is was just paranoia on Nabiki's part.

{"Truthfully no after he cleansed the valley I did a final search and found no links into nothing. That des not mean the link is not there. The queen and king may have unknowingly severed the link to earth but it still might in in their new home. That will give Seth a place to disappear to and a realm to protect and use as a base of attack to any realm he wants."} Nabiki explained letting Nodoka know it is to dangerous not to check.

{"I understand Nabiki I will do it now. We just might send Raist to the new realm now! I will let you know if you were right but it was a good call. We want to be sure there is no way for Seth to escape."} The connection was broken and Nabiki sent a message to her team since they were still invisible that they were checking.

{"One more thing as Torjo and I are the avatars of the chaotic good gods he nor any one else is to train them in that knowledge! If we decide to do so we will but until we are sure they will not fall back on their old ways in the new realm they learn none of what we know! You might have a treaty with them we don't!"} Nabiki told the elder as she felt the anger coming across the magical line.

{"Alright Nabiki Raist knows I will also let the elder know so if they want that knowledge they will have to work it out with you what about the Faeries that learned it as well? Is it the same for thm?"} Nodoka asked as Nabiki paused listening to the faeries that learned from the dragons as well.

{"Yes our Faeries working with us have sent it to all that learned what the dragons taught us which is the property of the dragons and we dod not control that. What we learned from the chaotic gods is ours and we decide how learns it."} Nabiki explained as Nodoka relaxed she feared Nabiki was taking from the dragons what was theirs.

{"Agreed Nabiki and thank you!"} Nodoka said pride filled her voice.

They continued to follow the ley lines to their next target. They would take detours when they found a nexus unclaimed. WHen they continued on the nexus was forever blocked from any attempt to claim it. They would also leand a hand in a battle if needed and even it not needed. They just needed stress relief as the fear they might miss something that could cost them the war.

{"Nabiki, beloved I have a question."} Torjo's love filled voice echoed in her head.

{"Yes my love?"} She responded as she waited for the question.

{"Well just before we left Jusendo you used a massive amount of power. What did you do and would not that much power let Takhisis, Seth, and their chaotic gods know were there?"} Nabiki frowned as he was right it could have told the enemy what they were doing.

{"Well since we are all linked to the ley lines any new incursions we would have felt it. But it is a good idea if we strengthen our links to the ley lines just in case."} She told Torjo as she felt him send that information on to the team.

{"As for what I did I checked for any residue we missed in the valley of Seth or Takhisis she might haf figured out what he was doing and piggy backed on his tampering."} Nabiki started to explain as she found Torjo opened the conversation to their teammates.

{"I did not find anything but I am worried when Queen Tatiana and King Oberon moved the valley they may have severed Seth's link to the valley but it still might be in the nexuses they severed to make sure the springs don't explode. I asked the Aurora elders to send Raist to the new valley with an elder to check. He trained with us and he should be able to unlink it. They are not permitted to train the Amazons in our chaotic knowledge that will be our choice not theirs."} Nabiki said before any would complain as all knew the Amazons and were not ready to trust they would not return to the old ways.

{"So now we have to figure out how to hide our signature when we use that ability. I wonder if it works like chi or ki."} Nabiki continued as her team started making suggestions as to how to use that 'spell' as it would be something needed to verify their work or find ones they missed.

{"Nabiki maybe we should start working on that. If we can all learn it maybe when we finish we can use ti through the ley lines without damage to find any nexuses we missed in blocking them or still under Takhisis or Seth's control and check all are safe."} Saruka's voice came to her as she smiled at her first true friend.

They landed in a clearing in the forest around Nerima park. They decided it would be best to be able t do this before they disconnected Takhisis' link. They trained for almost an hour as the trainees took notes to go over later for changes that might make them better. They did not realize that when the eight of them here covered in the seven colors of ancient good chaotic gods Nabiki and Torjo were elevated to almost earth bound gods while the others were elevated to the level Torjo and Nabiki were at the receiving of their gifts. After a long grueling hour they had managed to learn to use the technique Nabiki used in Jusendo. They found the masking spell they were using would work but they made it stronger just for added safety. They then prepared to undo Takhisis' link until a voice behind them stopped them. They turned to see Happosai sitting there waiting until they finished.

"My you have all changed as this change affected my other heirs?"
Happosai asked the stunned group.

"Jiji how did…never mind you felt our training." Nabiki said as she ran to the little man and kneeled in front of him to give him a hug as Torjo and the others followed her.

They quickly told Happoai their new status and that they were delegated to removing Takhisis and Seth from all the nexuses and blocking any reconnection. They told of Nabiki's gift and Torjo joining in her change and the fact they were engaged which made the old man smile happily. They told of the other encounter with the gods and Happosai smiled knowingly. When they finshed they told them what they were doing here. He rose and hugged all his heirs as if he was their grandfather. He also hugged the fairies as they were also his heirs, as they knew Anything Goes and a part of this new group.

"Now let me explain what happened the last time the gods made their changes. Nabiki you and Torjo are now almost gods. The rest of you are at the status they were when they received the gift." That was very good Nabiki that you suggest they check the new realm of Jusendo. The mage is strong he should be able to remove the block. You all have made me proud of what my school is now becoming! How are my other heirs doing do you know?" Torjo told him they have continued with what they first started to do. They move from battle to battle and help the Faerie and military that were fighting at that location.

"Good now I will let you return to your job and good luck." Happosai gave Nabiki another hug as she had made him the proudest.

Then he was gone. Nabiki and the others moved toward the center nexus where was between the old Ucchan, Nekohanten, and Nabiki's house. She could tell that the nexus had actually moved to the location after Ranma came to Nerima as the residue was slowly dissipating. They surrounded the large nexus and first sent their spell down the ley lines to the other nexuses and slowly disconnected them they then put up the blocks to keep the two gods from relinking. They then did the same to the large nexus and smiled as it began to dwindle for some reason it grew or shrank as the amount of outside chaos in the area.

They were not feeding it as they kept a tight lock on their chaotic levels to protect the areas they went to and the people around them. They had to work a bit slowly on the last Nerima nexus but they finally were able to sever the last of Takhisis' connection. They then purged the ley lines then for a one final check they surged through the ley lines looking for hidden connections or other hidden nexuses. They all smiled as there wer none.

"OOPS!" That made the others shudder as Nabiki whispered under the Umi-Sen-Ken.

"What Nabiki?" Torjo asked as they closed ranks and took up guarding postions of the two lovers.

"I think Takhisis or her gods felt that one!" Nabiki said as the others shuddered as they felt the chaotic power rising.

{"I think her gods are here! They are trying to figure out what happened."} Nabiki said as she and the others looked around.

{"First let's get away from her but stay close if our sixth senses are up to par we might be able t figure out what they are doing it could be helpful later on."} They all moved to the roof of the Nekohanten as it was just a bit cloers to the Tendo house.

They all dampened their signatures and chaos as much as they could. It was so much they did not even know where each other was. They just reached and and grabbed the hand of the person next to them and made a circle. They watched as the gods each in a different color of dragon army denoting which branch they were part of. The group watched as they tried to figure out what had happened. They did not get the chance as Happosai showed up and with his little man's speed he let loose with three hundred years of training and perversion on the gods and goddesses.

They watched as the gods and goddesses started casting the spells to understand what happened but sense their signature was not that of the Chaos Warriors Happosai attacked. He did not even give them time to know he was there until she started attacking. Nabiki watched in shock as he was using the assassin's art and it seemed to be useless then they took painful effect. They watched as the five chaotic gods writhed on the ground in pain. They all called to Takhisis for help and vanished suddenly.

"They will not bother Nerima again. Remember Nabiki the assassin school may be needed whether you want to use it or not. This is a war though I don't think this Takhisis will be able to stop what I did but be on guard and use all you know!" Happosai disappeared back toward the Tendo house.

"He is right I will have to start using them whether I want to or not! I won't use them against the humans but since there are none fighting this war against earth I will do so." Nabiki slumped as she had hoped she would not have to.

She felt as her new friends wrapped their arms around Nabiki and all sagged against her, as they knew she was right. They now had to decide whether to learn them as well. They slowly examined what the gods had tried to do but smiled as either they did not get the time or they could not change what they did. They now had to be not only quicker but also more cautious when doing it. They moved quickly on as there was still much to do.

(l(l(l)l)l)

The fighting was on going and as the injured of the Amazons and Faeries vanished the Amazon, healers fighting did both fight and heal. They had saved many of the wounded military soldiers from dying. The healers had learned to fight and remain truth to their oath as healers. Even though, their people did not consider them worthy. The other soldiers that saw this were angry as they were warriors just like the rest but also were able to heal. Some of the older Amazons tried to entice the soldiers to be husbands. They ignored them as if they treat their healers like dirt they felt they did not stand a chance at a happy life with them.

The soldiers learned that much did not hurt the dragons, tanks and hand-held missile launchers did. They fought the foot soldiers and had learned quickly not to get close and shoot from a distance. That was except for the Amazons and Faerie folk. They all decided they planned on getting training with swords they just had to figure out how to make then glow like lasers. The battles were moving slowly if it was not for the Faeries taking the air it allowed the planes to strafe the enemy soldiers and use their missiles on them as bullets were not very effective though they slowed them down.

The one thing the earth soldiers were happy for was the a group of eight fighters and either four to six fairies that would appear and cause more damage in an hour then they had done for the entire day. They fought against the dragons and their riders or fought with the foot soldiers. Once they made a big difference in the attackers the disappeared heading toward the next battle. They fought all out and left mostly smoldering remains.

They all thought they were using magic! They wished they had that ability it would make this war easier to fight. They moved toward the weakened colored glad armor that looked like dragons. They were glad for the bayonets as it helped the most. The soldiers were not as lucky as the Faeries their medics did not have access to the healers and magic their healers did. It it was not for the Amazon healers that would treat even them a lot more lives would have been lost. The healers would do preliminary treatments. They would slow the blood flow which in and of itself had saved the most lives. They would bind wounds and if they could reset bones if they could. By the time the medics got to the wounded they were ready for transport and were able to be taken to the hospital with less serious injuries.

(l(l(l)l)l)

Takhisis screamed in anger as she pulled the chaotic gods from Nerima afte something she could not see or follow in her crystal. She brought them back to the Abyss as they called to her. She tried to use her magic to alter what the unknown attacker did to them. She however could not and she was even angrier. She had weakened the effects but they were no longer able to help her maintain her link to the chaotic nexus of earth. She had begun to check the to her links and found many of them had been removed. She knew how to reconnect they taught her but she allowed them to do the most draining parts of set up. She hoped when they awoke they would be able to still link her to the nexuses.

She slammed her fist on the crystal as there was a block on the nexuses and she could not relink. They must have been attacked when they tried to reconnect to the nexus in Nerima when they were attacked. She hoped she did not have to go there to make the reconnections, as she did not want to meet what attacked her chaos team. She found she was able to reestablish the links she frowned as she must now go to Nerima and try to get them reconnected. She however decided to go as her altered self there is no one that could stand against that.

(l(l(l)l)l)

The battle raged around the world as all fought against the daughter of Chaos. As the days, moved on the Chaos Warriors had finally freed the last of Takhisis' linked nexuses. They also broke the links of Seth and put blocks on all the nexuses they could find even below the sea. It was a good thing they did not have to go to the bottom of the ocean to do the job. Though, Nabiki believes the added power that altered the rest of their team allowed that.

They were heading back toward the United States to help the Aurora clan when a five headed dragon appeared over the Atlantic. They quicly faded under the Umi-Sen-Ken. Akirie notified the other that Takhisis was on earth. She was heading toward Japan and that the Chaos Warriors were on her tail.

Torjo and the other heirs pulled out their cell phones and contacted the other heirs and Happosai. Torjo did that and asked him to prevent Akane from joining the battle. He told him once he immobilizes her under the rock Soun would sit to feed the fish is a trap door to an underground bunker. She had installed after some of the major damage done to the house by the crazies that came after Ranma. They would try to slow her down so the others could reach Nerima. They also called the hit and run squad that was fighting all over the world. They arrived quickly over the Atlantic and kept her at bay for a time. They also had unexpected help.

(l(l(l)l)l)

{"Nodoka! Takhisis is on earth! She is heading for Japan. The Chaos Warriors are going to try and delay her for a bit. We contacted all the heirs and Happosai. They will meet us at the cluster nexuses we just took for her. The two groups of heirs fighting all over is meeting us over the Atlantic to keep her distracted long enough for the other heirs to get into place."} Nabiki quickly sent to Nodoka.

{"Alright Nabiki we will meet you over the Atlantic. Don't forget the children are the gods avatars and if they are there the gods will help. Our mounts will hone in on Takhisis! I will make sure the other fighters know and if they can be spared head for Nerima. What about the people in Nerima?"} Nodoka asked her the thought of all the innocents in the chaotic burg.

{"They are gone, Happosai said it is a ghost town. They moved out at the start of the war. They know if there was fight on Japanese soil it would either start in Nerima or end there."} The relief in Nabiki's voice was unmistakable.

{"Nabiki what about Akane?"} Nodoka just stared at Ranko as she and the others prepared to leave. The other Faeries were to remain and fight.

{"It is covered. Happosai is going to fix it so she cannot join the fight. I had a fallout shelter built under the back yard after all those crazies kept destroying our house. If it got to bad we had a place to hide since they all wanted Akane."} Nabiki spoke rapidly as she if she was dividing her attention between Nodoka and catching Takhisis.

{"Good, we will be there in a blink we will appear in front of her to block her so you can catch up for the battle."} Nodoka then broke the link as she, Raist, Seran, the triplets, and the dragons they rode vanished. Her Faeries increased their intensity to be able to join her.

The six Aurora clan members vanished as the battle for the north and South America heated up as the Faeries fought to keep the chromatics engaged in a fierce battle. The battles all over the globe increased in intensity as the other defenders of the planet did the same to prevent aid to the dark queen in the form of dragons.

Happosai snuck up behind Akane and quickly put her into a deep sleep. He then carried her to the rock in the backyard. The opened it and wondered where the key was. He reached for the handle and found the door unlocked. He carried the unconscious girl into the shelter. He found a pull string and turned it on and it lit the large room. He found there were curtained off areas and saw they were bedrooms. He laid Akane on the bed. He went to the main room and found a white board he wrote a note and told her if she did not want to be dragon food stay put and quiet. He quickly went upstairs and brought back some of Akane's projects. He laid all her stuff on the table. He then looked around and near the ladder he found what he was looking for. He took the key went back upstairs and shut and locked the door to the shelter. He then slipped the key in an inside pocket and covered the door with the boulder again.

Happosai then moved to the front gate by jumping to the roof and down on the other side. He ran toward the gate when it opened and he found the rest of his heirs entering. He ran to them and quickly explained the only remaining Tendo daughter no fighting was secured. They need to get to where Takhisis will be coming for. As they ran Happosai told what he knew from before when the Chaos Warriors broke the Dark Queens link to the cluster of nexuses in Neriam.

They made it to where the largest nexus was and took up hiding positions around it. They many of Happosai's heirs just could not believe what he told them about Torjo, Kenjin, Missagi, and Akierie. But they were glad for Torjo and Nabiki. They hoped the Chaos Warriors made it the Atlantic to hold her at bay. They waited and watched the skies for the five headed dragon.

(l(l(l)l)l)

Nodoka hurriedly called the Japanese Prime minister and told him to get the military ready but stay out of Nerima until she told him they needed them. Takhisis would use those soldiers as fodder and it would hinder their efforts to stop her. They hoped to keep her over the Atlantic and stop her there but they are sure it won't be for long. She told him the heirs to Happsoai are in Nerima and preparing for the battle. If the military bursts into the battle they were on their own!

She also notified Lilac and Cologne but asked they keep fighting where they ere. They were needed to keep the chromatics from coming to Takhisis' aid. They gave her a fight but finally agreed. The Amazon elders cut the link then sent their best fliers to aid the riders on dragons with the orders to keep the pressure on the chromatics so they did not leave to help the Dark Queen.

(l(l(l)l)l)

Hiromi went to the hospital. It was not near Nerima but if the Dark Queen was going to be in Nerima, she might finish the job. She went to Kodachi's room and found her sitting up in bed pouting. She looked so cute. Kodachi's face lit up when she saw her. She gave the young girl a hug then frowned.

"Why are you still in bed I was told I could take you home today." Hiromi asked as Kodachi looked at her with anger.

"They won't let me leave!" Kodachi pointed to behind Hiromi who turned to see tow police officers and a plan clothes officer.

"What is the meaning of this? She is to be released now to me!" Hiromi snarled at the officer in charge.

"She is a witness to what her father did to her as you are when you arrived to save her. We need to know how you got there so quickly and we cannot let her out of here until we know everything." Hiromi realized the man in a suit was not police but something else and she did not like it.

"You have no authority to know! But know this fool the Dark Queen is heading to Japan and if you try to stop us I will contact not only the prime minister but the Emperor! Then you can disappear like Tanaka of Tanaka labs!" Hiromi had cast a spell around herself and Kodachi.

"WHAT!? Where is she landing! How do you know?" The man's answer came from behind him.

"I suggest you contact your superiors Miss Kodachi is leaving with us and Masaki-san!" the three officials turned and found Akitaro and thirty ninja behind them.

Then a noise in the room made him turn his head as another half dozen or so ninja appeared in the room helping Kodachi get dressed and ready to leave. He spotted movement from out side the circle of ninja and found Hiomi closing her cell phone and she glared daggers at the lead officer.

"I just contacted the inspector in charge of Miss Kodachi's case he was surprised to find you were here DOCTOR Alister. I see you did a little makeup job to fit in better." Hiromi said as she threw a pitcher of water in his face as caused his makeup to run.

'Akitaro they are not to leave this room! The Minister Khang and the military police will be here in three…two…one!" They heard the footfalls and Zhang stopped and looked at the ninja.

They moved to allow him and his military escort to enter the hospital room. They found Hiromi and a young girl dressed to leave. The Prime Minister entered the room and he signaled the soldier s to take the three men into custody. He frowned as they tried to bolt but the thirty or so ninja out side the room drew their weapons and it made them decide it was better to let the military escort them out.

"You can't do this I have diplomatic immunity!" The doctor told him with a smirk.

"Well no you don't the part of the treaty all governments signed was any of the countries that try to harm anyone that is known or unknown to be Faerie looses all immunity protection and becomes a guest at the country invaded for however long we decide to keep them." Khang got up close and personal with the man before him.

"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Doctor shouted as his eyes grew large with fear.

"Well we could just have Miss Kodachi's ninja retainers take you to explain Japanese laws invoked by our emperor." The Prime Minister hissed in his face.

"Take to stay with Tanaka!" The military cuffed the doctor and two phony policemen away a dozen ninja warriors followed in the shadows.

"I am sorry Masaki-san but I fear no other country is going to honor that pact signed by the delegates." Khang's shoulders slumped deeply as he was getting tired of politics as the image of Lilac crossed his face.

"Don't worry Japan and the Amazons will always be accepted by the court of Queen Tatiana and King Oberon.' She told him as she laid her hand on his shoulder.

"Now I need to get Kodachi to someplace safe. Please remember Prime Minster keep the military away from Nerima but close enough to come to the aid of the fighters. They are not all Faeries there is a group of warriors fighitgn in the battle all over the world and they will join with the fighters still here in Japan. They are calling themselves the heirs of Happosai! They are all grandmasters of the most powerful martial arts style known. They are also men of honor." Hiromi told him and he nodded and headed out on his way to Nerima.

"Let's go Kodachi I have a safe place for you to stay until this incursion by the Dark Queen is illuminated." Hiromi told the young woman but did not see her anger.

"I will go to Nerima and fight!" Kodachi wanted to protect her home but as she tried to leave her bodyguard blocked her way.

"Kodachi the fighters heading to slow down the Dark Queen. She is in her true form Kodachi I five headed dragon and I fear your skill is but a fly to her." Hiromi told her as she turned on the television to show the five headed dragon heading toward Japan when six dragons and riders appeared in a circle around her. They were riding metallic, gem, and one bronze blue dragon.

Kodachi moved toward the television as the media films from a far distance. Then three groups of fighters appear coming from three different directions. Kodachi gasped as she spotted Nabiki and Saruka. Her eyes widened as she saw Saruka's iridescent wings. Then she noticed something was different about Nabiki. She saw the ringlet and an almost matching one on a male that flew close to her. Kodachi turned to Hiromi who walked up next to her purt her arm around the young woman's shoulder.

"All in Nabiki's group have been altered by the ancient evil gods that helped that dragon to link to all the nexus of chaos to sue earth's own special features against it. Nabiki and the young man with the similar ringlet were the god version of those evil gods and turned them to their avatar then added the rest of their team as they had been going around the globe removing all of the Dark Queen's and Seth's links. They then blocked any attempt to reconnect.

Kodachi turned back to the television and watched the battle against the dark queen. She watched as Nabiki started taunting the five-headed beast. She had gotten to know Nabiki recently. She and Saruka had become two of her very close friends next to Hiromi. She explained taunting was part of her school's style. Kodachi watched Nabiki closely and began to speak.

"She is doing what Ranma did a lot. She is taunting the dragon trying to make her mad. She is trying to get her angry for some reason. Oh look Ranko is joining in on the taunting." Kodachi said as Hiromi moved closer to see what was happening.

"I think they are trying to confuse her to keep her from teleporting to Nerima directly." Hiromi said as they jumped when Akitaro put chairs down for them.

Akitaro smirked at Hiromi who nodded with a sly smile. He then brought in a chair for him and the other ninja either sat on the bed or the floor or got more chairs. They wanted to see this too and if it keep Miss Kodachi safe they were all for it. They all turned back when an explosion and scream came from the speakers. It brought in a half a dozen nurses, orderlies, and two doctors. The ninja near the door explained why they were watching the coming dragin to Japan and as long as Kodachi wants to stay she will so they could keep her from trying to fight the dragon.

The doctors frowned but they did not want Kodachi fighting as she still had a head injury and the stitches would rupture. The doctors nodded and they ushered the medical personnel back to work. The audience watched as the earth fighters blasted almost magic like blasts at the dragon and it shocked her that they were deadly as some striped away her scales and exposed her tender skin under it. Then the chaos children flew from their dragons at a speed she could not follow and began to claw at the exposed skin. She was stronger then her dragons so the blasts did not stripe her to the bone.

The group of earth fighters flew in and around the dragon keeping the taunts up and making her even more mad as they moved almost a fast at the triplets in and out of her body, wings, and head. The empty dragons were also on the warpath and showed Takhisis they knew some new and better tricks. The Amethyst dragon shot a brain blast at each head starting with the red then moving from left to right. When she finished, she started it all over again. This added to the confusion of the dragons and the addled brains of the dragon.

(l(l(l)l)l)

The warriors efforts to fight over the ocean failed as the dragon vanished they turned and found an angry red dragon with an even angrier Seth. He did not want to help Takhisis he wanted her destroyed so he could rule earth alone. It was then that proof of the triplets being the avatars showed itself. As the heir watched in all suddenly two large saber tooth cats appeared between the three children. Then at each end of the line were Sekhmet while at the other in full armor floated Bastet. Bastet floated slightly forward and smiled seductively at Seth as he shuddered at the hungry gaze of her and Sekhmet and the saber tooth cats.

"You have been a very bad god Seth. It is a shame your attempted betrayal of Takhisis did not work. But it does no mater our avatars will stop you. While the, Heirs of Happosai must finish the fight with Takhisis. The heirs shouted no but could not stop Bastet or Sekhmet as they raised their hands and sent all but Cerulean and the children's parents. Raist was sent after Takhisis for his knowledge was the most extensive.

"I AM A GOD! YOU CANNOT DEFEAT ME WITH SUCH A PALTRY FEE!" He glared at the laughter of Sekhmet and Bastet.

"Actually Seth the children and cats are all we need but since their parents and Cerulean won't leave them without a fight we allowed them to help." Bastet watched as the dragon Seth was riding listened to their conversation she was confused and needed more information and she got.

"NIGHTFIRE I THOUGHT THE RED WAS THE FAVORITE OF THE QUEEN! YET ALLOW HER TRAITOR TO RIDE YOU! THE ONE THAT LEFT FIREBLOOD TO DIE!" Cerulean's booming voice filled the open sky and ocean around them.

They watched as the red dragon soaked in what Cerulean was said. Even though his alignment had changed, he was still part blue. She heard in his voice his disgust at her rider. Seth was in Cerulean's eyes a god of cowardice not of chaos. Her rage had slowly felt her heart and soul. She could feel Seth trying to get her to move to follow after Takhisis any thing then stay where they were listening to the other dragon's rhetoric.

(l(l(l)l)l)

Seth tried to flash out of the circle of dragons and fighters. But something was wrong it was as if he was blocked but by what! He jumped suddenly at the laughter of Sekhmet. He turned as her feral smile became more hungry then his eyes opened wide as Aker appeared behind them his smile matching Sekhmet. Only with Aker or Isis' help could they block his powers this way. He kicked her on her sides as growled at her.

"MOVE YOU VILE BEAST! WE MUST GO AFTER TAKHISIS! YOUR STUPIDER THEN THAT STUPID DRAGON THAT GOT HIMSELF KILLED! LEAVE THESE USLESS IDIOTS WHEN I RULE THE WHOLE LOT OF THEM AND THE DRAGONS WILL BE DESTROYED!" The words sank into Nightfire's brain she saw as Cerulean smirked, as much as a dragon could smirk.

She realized if he got the puny god, she carried mad enough he would show his true intent but she scowled as she felt they were making him say those things. She was about to open her mouth to destroy the traitorous blue when his words entered her mind and though she did not want to listen she did. It broke her heart and at the same time made her angrier then she ever thought she could be.

{"NIGHTFIRE YOU KNOW I TELL THE TRUTH! EVEN THOUGH THE RED AND BLUE HATE EACHI OTHER AS DO THE OTHER CHROMATICS I RESPECTED FIREBLOOD. FOR A RED HE WAS JUST AND HONORABLE. A TRAIT WE BLUE HOLD DEAR! HAVE YOU NOT WONDERED WHY THE QUEEN HAS COOLED AGAINST SETH! HE HAD FOUND A WAY TO OVER RIDE HER POWERS SO HE COULD ENSLAVE HER AFTER SHE TOOK OVER THIS PUNY BALL OF WATER AND LAND. I DID NOT CHOOSE TO CHANGE YOU KNOW WE HAVE NO SAY IN IT. I AM STILL PART BLUE BUT I WILL NOT ALLOW TAKHISIS TO HURT THOSE I CARE ABOUT. YOU NEED TO DECIDE NIGHTFIRE DO YOU WISH TO DIE LIKE FIREBLOOD UNDER HIS PUNY CONTROL!"} The fighters he fought with knew he was talking with the red they hoped she would leave Seth to them but it was not to be.

(l(l(l)l)l)

Nightfire listened to Cerulean in her mind. She smiled as Fireblood was really to noble to be a red but she was glad he was. As she sifted through her memories of her beloved she felt as the earth god kicked her to make her move. Then what Cerulean told her filtered into her happy memories and she began to get even angrier then she was before. She would not allow these puny gods and Faeries the joy of destroying the murder of her mate it was her right and she was going to take it.

"RRRRRROOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRR!" Nightfire roared an angry pain filled roar those that felt the emotions could not help but feel her pain.

"YOU STUPID DRAGON WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Seth was confused as Nightfire reared back and started flying erratically as she flew higher toward the heavns.

When she got as high as she could she started flying upside down. She knew he never learned to ride the dragons and how to stay on when they had to fly erratically to save them and their riders. It did not take long as Seth could not hold on as he should have. He fell from his saddle and began to fall back to earth from the veil to outer space. Nightfire did a power dive straight for him the relief in his face showed he thought she was going to save him. That was until her jaws opened and the largest stream of fire shot forth straight for him.

'AAAAARRRRRGGGGG!" Seth could not get anything else out as dragon fire covered him.

Though he was a god and he, could survive this attack it was not to be as Cerulean attacked him but this time using his combined dragon breath of lightening and acid. He and his rider Micca flew forward to add their endd to the chaotic god. He was followed by Silverfire and Ranko and Setsuko since Amethyst was sent with Nabiki and the other dragons with them to help Nerima.

To the fear of her parents Setsuko stood behind Ranko her legs entertwined around her sisters body. She raised her arms over her head and shot forth a ball of power that contained all she had. It was matched by two others as Ranko and Micca also brought forth the killing attack. They shot forth the blasts and all three hit Seth at the same time. Though this time there was no scream as he was so near death when the three blasts hit him it was all it took to turen him to less then ash.

When the blasts cleared there was nothing they children looked to the gods and they nodded Seth was gone and their king was avenged. The gods moved to the children and all even Sekhmet hugged them. As they did they glowed golden and gave the children on final gift one that was not added power but a stronger connection to each other making them even closer as brother and sisters.

As Seran and Nodoka flew to their children, they tried to get to them and stop the three gods for hurting them or making them more their avatars. It was then that two strong trunks of arms grabbed them by their legs and pulled them into the magic that surrounded their children. When the magic faded the gods moved back. They were being watched by a an angry Cerulean, Firestar and Wind Raven who refused to leave Seran and Nodoka. They however felt what was done.

"You did well as our avatars. Seth is gone and will never be able to return to harm this world or any world and its people. Though I would have liked a more hands on battle as I am a warrior but it is fitting the red got her revenge as did we all." Sekhmet stated as Nightfire had recovered from her power dive and listened.

She felt vindicated by the words of the warrior cat goddess. She wanted to move closer but Cerulean was not having it. She wondered what it felt like to be loved by such useless creatures as these Faeries and to love them back just as viciously. SHe knew he was deeply bonded to two of the children. She knew if she killed Cerulean they would die as well but she could not bring herself to do that. Cerulean's words of respect for Fireblood prevented her from doing so after all she owed them a debt they allowed her the right to her revenge. So, for now she would let them live.

"We gave them one parting gift not of power but of love. They and you two are now a real family. The genetics of their old selves are still there but only as it was they basis of their births. However, they are now closer to being each other's true brother and sisters as the two of you are now truly their parents. They and you fought like a loving family we felt you had the right to be a true family _no one_ could destroy again." Bastet said as she gently stroked the cheek of Micca who seemed hardest hit by the information.

"Can you not remove all of my old family?" Micca whispered to the goddess as she pulled him into a tight embrace.

"I wish I could child for all of you but there is so little left just enough not to take away who you are. You will see it is necessary this way." Bastet whispered to him as he hugged her and nodded.

"Come Bastet we must go. Do not fear we will always be watching over you and _any_ attempt to take advantage of or harm you will be met with the power of the Neko-Ken times one thousand. Nothing and no one will be able to stop it!" Sekhmet told the children and their parents as Corellon suddenly appeared as the warrior cat goddess looked directly at him her cat eyes shining with blood lust.

As Aker, though not known to the children he hugged them as well and he like the other two cat goddess had fallen under their spell. As he like Bastet had watched their lives on earth and in the Faerie realm. He decided if the four women do not lern the lesson they need to learn he would make them. He did add a protection to the children and their parents and when Raist was next hugged, it will effect him as well. Since he, was also very important to the children and their parents. He let go and smiled at the children his long three-foot canines more prominent but the children were not frightened.

"RED YOU HAVE YOUR REVENGE! THEY ARE UNDER OUR PROTECTION! WE WILL FIGHT WITH THEM AND IN DOING SO END YOU AND YOUR EVIL BRETHREN'S FROM THIS WORLD!" Nightfire at first looked indignant as as soon as the gods were gone she would end them all.

As she had forgotten her, decision to not harm them. Cerulean reminded her as a small lightning bolt with a touch of acid hit her flanks. He felt her thoughts and she screamed she realized he had. The fighters turned to see the small opening in Nightfire's flank and Cerulean glaring at the Red with dangerous intentions.

Before anyone could realize the Egyptian gods were gone and the fighters were as well. Corellon looked around frantic then saw as the red turned her attention to him. He smirked at the dragon knowing his mother was near by but it did not bother the furious red. She shot a blast of fire at the god and as he moved, was singed on his backside. Before he could retaliate, the dragon disappeared and he frowned in rage and faded as well.
