Chapter 1
It's a dark night in Nerima, forbidding clouds hang low in the sky with the occasional flash of lightning. A lone figure is hopping from rooftop to rooftop. Stopping on a roof as the rain begins to pour, he scratches his baldhead and looks about his surroundings.
Off in a distance, another figure is hopping from rooftop to rooftop with her staff heading directly towards the first figure. Taking one final great leap, she lands on the rooftop with the first figure. As lightning clashes around them causing a shiver to run through their spine.
She looks over at her companion. "This is not good Happy."
He still looks up at the sky, "I know, and he is still not ready for this yet. There is still much that we haven't taught him that he needs to know."
"Then I suggest you two stop playing around and get to work." Happosai and Cologne both turn in surprise and see a tall figure step out of the shadows wearing a gray cloak. "We have waited for over 300 years for this moment. You two have had plenty of time to not only prepare him, but the other as well. Yet I find that neither are even close to where they should be at." His voice boomed with the same force as the thunder overhead. Chilling both Cologne and Happosai's heart as the darkest demon would, yet comforting the at the same time as the purest of pure angels would.
"It's not as if we haven't tried, but they are both stubborn. ESPEICALLY HIM!!" Happosai knew he said something wrong when he saw two gray glowing orbs appear under the other's hood.
Cologne quickly stepped in between them. "It's not like we weren't following what you and the fates told us too, but neither of them will listen."
The figure looked at her, hood growing dark as the orbs slowly fade. "That may be true, but it doesn't help when you two are playing your games with those two giving them no reason to trust you." He looks up as lightning flashes and the rain stops. " And on top of it all, the other hasn't even begun training."
Happosai took a step to the side just before lightning stuck where he was standing. "The fates told us that was to be his job."
"That maybe so, but we are running out of time. Cologne, take care of your distraction and train him properly. Happosai, you'll have to give up your hobby for a while and do the same." Turning his gaze back towards them, "and make sure the other is there too. Figure out a way to get him to train them, I don't care how but do it."
Cologne hangs her head in defeat. "But, I was hoping that Shampoo could still have him. My tribe could use his bloodline in it."
"COLOGNE!!!!" Gray orbs returning under the hood, "You have known that it could never be. Now either you get rid of the distraction, or I will as your punishment. I no longer have time to waste. We all know what will happen if they are not ready."
"There are other distractions, what about them? Cologne doesn't have the only distraction, and we really can't be held responsible for them."
The figure's eyes dim slightly. "You do not have to worry about them Happy. They are being taken care of as we speak. Now get to work." With that, the eyes vanish back into the darkness of the robe just before the figure vanishes into midair.
"You know Cologne, this may be more than Ranma can handle. What are we going to do if he fails?"
Looking over to her companion with fear on her face, "If he fails, then we may all be doomed."
With that, they both jump off the roof and into the night.
