Chapter 3
***********************************************************************************************************
"So thats it, you pull your energy from the ground." Ranma said.
"Exactly."
"Is this it?"
"Is what it?"
"THIS, POWER GUYSER!"
Terry watched as Ranma blew up a wall with the move he had made up nofewer than a couple days before. He knew how he did it but couldn't really do it on any beck and call. But, Ranma did it without even trying.
"Great Ranma ya got it already."
"Thanks Terry."
"Ranma you think we should go see Kruaser now?"
"Yeah I wanna pay him back for the fight last time." Ranma said cracking his knuckles.
***
"You know Kasumi, now that I think about it. What was Ranma's training trip like. When I asked him he avoided the subject and Genma only told me the same thing after the first letter."
***
"GENMA DID WHAT!"
'Uh oh.'
Genma-panda started to sweat as he heard Nodoka yelled. He saw a little glow eminating from the kitchen where he had seen her enter.
~Tendo~ flip ~You wanna go get something to drink?~
"But it's 10 in the morning Saotome."
~Yes but I just got~ flip ~A bad feeling~
"I'll have to decline on that Saotome."
Genma-panda started to feel slightly weighed down as he saw the wall started to bulge outwards every now and then and the glow that was coming in made his fur stand on end.
"GENMA NO BAKA!"
~Uh oh~
***
"RANMA SAOTOME FOR STEALING MY SHAMPOO YOU WILL DIE!"
Ranma moved out of the way. Pushing Terry who was wondering who attacked this time. 10 sets of blades imbedded themselfs where Ranma was standing. Mouse landed a moment later a long sword held to one side, and a long curving pole with a blade curving the opposite was in the other hand.
"Mouse when did you get to Germany?" Ranma asked offhanded.
"That does not matter Saotome you will still die!"
Ranma jumped up and over the slash from one of the blades. Ducking under the next he swiped out his feet sending Mouse to the ground.
"RANMA PREPARE TO DIE!"
Ranma jumped out of the way of as a ground of bandanas shredded the ground beneath him.
"Hey pig-boy how did you find me so fast."
"Stop mocking me Ranma and DIE!" Ryoga yelled swinging his umbrella in a wide arc trying to hit Ranma.
"DIE SAOTOME!" Mouse yelled and produced throwing stars from his robes and sent them at Ranma.
"RANMA LOOK OUT!" Terry shouted before hitting Mouse from behind knocking him unconscious.
Ranma side-stepped the throwing stars letting them fly at Ryoga. He stopped them with his unbrella before swinging at Ranma again.
"Knock it off you lost slab of bacon." Ranma kicked the umbrella from Ryoga's hands before kicking him in the chin.
Ryoga slid back a bit before smiling.
"That was pathetic Ranma."
"Then try this. POWER GUYSER!"
The blue wave of power raced at Ryoga who wondered breifly why everything bad happened to him. The wave washed over him sending him back and through trees surrounding the road. His body fell to the ground.
"Honestly ya think they would learn."
"Hey Ranma you ok?" Terry asked.
"Yeah let's get going."
"Uh ok." Terry still didn't know how this kid took all this in stride.
***
"Lord Krauser, Ranma Saotome has been seen aproaching the castle with Terry Bogard."
Krauser looked up from his meal at his body guard so to speak.
"I want you to entertain Terry, I want to fight Ranma alone."
"As you wish my lord."
Krauser watched him leave. Standing he approached the great hall.
"Let us hope the boy has gotten better. I wouldn't want him to break."
***
Ranma and Terry were walking down the road to Krausers castle when a man in a green bull fighting suit stopped them.
"Terry Bogard, my Lord Krauser does not wish to see you at this time. Ranma Saotome you may proceed unhindered."
Terry prepared for a battle.
"I'll go get Krauser Terry you play with this guy."
"Don't hurt him to bad Ranma I want some of him."
"Just enough to get the job done."
Terry turned back to the man and prepared for his attack. The man bowed before lashing out with a sword.
***
Ranma looked at the huge door looming over his head. It suddenly started to creak and opened to reviel an older man who bowed to him.
"Good day Mr. Saotome. Lord Krauser is expecting you in the great hall. I shall escort you."
Ranma blinked then followed the man. Passing through a hall that reached 20 feet in height he saw around 30 hand drawn pictures of older men. They were all around the wall and even on the ceiling.
The man stopped and opened a curtain reveiling a long hall that would have fit for a cathedral. In the very center of the far end stood an enormous organ and Krauser stood facing it. His cape was off.
"So Ranma you have come to my castle." He said while starting to turn around.
"Yeah well not like I had a choice or nothing." He said waving his had.
"I wish to tell you one thing first Ranma." He said smiling.
"Yeah what?"
"If you defeat me I will tell you." He smiled even more before walking around a small wooden pedastil. He walked forward calmly.
"I am really getting sick of that phrase."
"Then stop me from speaking boy." He said stopping.
"Nobody calls me 'BOY'." He snarled.
"But that is what you are. 17 years of age and not even considered a human to most of the people around in his life. Nothing but breeding stock and something to be exploited. Someone to vent their anger on, someone who is worth only their hatred, someone who is alone. Deny it you cannot. You are a boy, not a man, but a boy who is weak. So weak he can't change himself." Krauser stated.
Ranma's body tensed as he felt every word hit him. Sure nobody trusted him. Sure he was thought as breeding stock by Soun, Genma, and Cologne. Of course all three fiances just wanted him for their own honor. His rivals hated him for being in a bad situation that they wanted. But, he refused to believe that his own mother would care so little about him that she would only thing of him as the key to keeping the family's honor.
"Is it that the words are true boy that you are angry?" Krauser asked his voice mocking.
"You will take that back about my mother." He said.
"What did I say about Nodoka?"
"How do you know her name?!"
"Easy boy. You think I would be interested in you if I didn't have some relation to you."
"SHUT UP!"
Ranma lunged, his claws sprang forth. His eyesight narrowed and he locked on to Krauser. He was withing 10 feet when he saw the smile on the mans face. He raced faster. He was right on top of him when Krauser moved.
