Chapter One:
"Oohhh... He's cute." Nabiki said looking at the
potential fiancee before them. She looked at the
medabot at his side. A person's medabot could
tell one lot about the person. His was unusual. It
was a beetle-type of medabot, but not the usual
Hercules KBT types. Or even the rumours of the TEN
Ladybug types. It seemed to be some type of stag
beetle type. So far Nabiki was in the dark. She
didn't like it. But the real power to it would
be what medal it had operating it. One with
limited skills or one of the medals with
multiple skills.
The unusual type meant this was a custom job. Meaning
that the boy was rich or had skills as a medabot
mechanic. Maybe even a Meda-engineer, one of those
who had been taught the secrets of building them.
Both possibilties were pluses in Nabiki's opinion.
Soun, however, wasn't focusing on this aspect.
He was more focused on the fulfillment of his
dreams to unite the schools. He ran forward to hug
his new son-in-law to be. He was in the middle of
hugging Ranma when he noticed that something wasn't
right. Moving his arms behind Ranma's back Soun
traced the boys outline. As the new information
reached his brain, Soun moved back looking surprised
and being unable to handle it, fainted.
Nabiki moved closer for a more detailed look at
what had shocked her father into unconciousness.
Looking closer, she saw one of the things that
had knocked out her father. Or more precicly, two
things. "Huh...?" Nabiki exclaimed, moving her
finger out to touch the problem. There in the middle
of the boy's chest were two breasts. She kept
poking them for a few minutes to make sure that
they were real. Part to make sure that it was a girl
before her, part in the belief that breast couldn't
be real. She, however, determinded that they were
real on all counts. "Could you please stop that?"
Ranma asked quietly, yet with a growing anoyance.
Nabiki looked at Ranma, reliesed that she was poking
another girls breast and stopped.
Several looks crossed Nabiki's face as she took in
the information. Disappointment, renewed hope,
followed finally with a mild anger at her father.
" Daddy, I thought you said that Ranma was a boy."
She said coldly to her father as he got up from his
fainting spell. "I don't understand..." Soun said,
only slightly noticing his daughter talking to him.
"I thought that Genma's son would be a boy."
Akane looking at the girl and being relieved that
she wasn't a boy, decided to make friends with the
girl. "I don't believe the two of you." She turned
to Ranma. "Hello, My name is Akane. Would you like
to be friends?" She asked. Ranma seemed to perk up
to this. "I see you have a medabot. Would you like
to have robattle? Then we could try sparring each
other." Akane asked the new girl. She was curious
at how good she was. She also wanted to see how good
that fighter medabot was."
"Okay." Ranma answered looking at her medabot,
Ranmushi. "If it's okay with Ranmushi." Ranma
wanted to make friends with the girl, but not at the
cost of losing his other friend.
"I'm always ready for a robattle. I am the best that
was ever made." came the robots reply in a voice of
total confidence. Beside, it might let his medafighter
make some new friends.
In the Dojo...
Akane was getting ready to prove her skill against
this new girl. How good could she be? "Alright, come
Scout!" Akane said into her medawatch. The circuitry
acted, teleporting her medabot to the dojo. Then she
slipped the medal from where it was stored in her
medawatch to the back hatch in her medabot. Once
placed in her medabot came to life.
Scout was always willing to help her mistress
out in a fight. She rarely lost for her. And this
medabot didn't look to dangerous. Scout was a MAM
Salior-type. Special ability was her shooting. She
had dead-eye aim. Even if she looked like a school
girl with her metallic skirt, sailor school shirt body
and metal bow, she was a fighting machine.
Akane was glad that Nabiki had found away for the
family to have their medabots, especially the way
she had choosen ones that suited their personality.
Now she could show Ranma how she kicked butt.
"Scout, start with your Short Shot." Akane
said hoping to take it easy with Ranma. Scout took
hold of her arm and fired at Ranmushi. Or where
Ranmushi had been. Like lightning the medabot had
moved out of the way of the youngest Tendo's medabot
before replying with it's Hammer punch.
"Like power hammer," Ranma said. "How about somthing
with a little Kick?" Ranmushi then proceed to pull
both legs off the ground while twisting to land
them on top of Scout's body, then flip back into a
standing position. Scout was unready for such
an attack and fell down.
Akane looked at the readings her medawatch was
giving her about Scout's condition. The main
body had taken a lot of damage and the power for
it was nearly ready to shut down. She couldn't imagine
that Ranma could be that good. Calling to her medabot,
"Scout use your repeaters." Akane hoped the attack
could stop Ranma's Medabot for a few minutes while
Akane set up a new attack plan.
Scout the moved her hand to her other arm as she
started firing like a machine gun for the black
beetle. But, before she could hit, Ranmushi dodged
out of the way again. Ranmushi then began hitting
her head with a rapid series of punches to Scout's
head. " Great Rapid Punch, Ranmushi." Ranma cheered
smiling. Akane watched as her medawatch showed her
that Scout nearly was out of power in her head.
Since it was the head that meant any minute now...
A hatch opened in the back of Scout as a small
hexagon shape piece of silverish medal flew out.
Akane looked as she saw that she had lost.
At first she was disappointed. Then smiled at Ranma.
"Good match, but I'm glad that your a girl. I would
have hated to lose to a boy." She didn't notice Ranma
looking a bit depress as she left. Or that Nabiki had
entered the Dojo.
Nabiki had watched the match and was impressed.
Ranma was a skilled medafighter from her observation.
That made him more valuable. Ever since she had gotten
the medabots for her family she had been thinking of
ways to use them to help her families finacial
situation. That was how she had convinced her father
to make the Tendo's Dojo into one of the few Martial
Arts Medabots combat Dojos. Not only could they teach
the normal martial arts, but the could hold medabots
lessons and host medabots robattles. For a modest fee.
That and the time saving work of the medabots had allowed
her family more time for themselves. Especially Kasumi,
who had been able to start some medical studies, at
least part time.
Akane had gotten time to work on her arts. She had to
move to another location at times for when the dojo was
in use. Akane was still becoming a better martial artist
with Scout helping train her. Akane even thought
herself a master at Tendo Anything-Goes Medafightng. She
never imagined that Nabiki could be better than she was
at it. Nabiki was. Nabiki was attracted to the stradgy of
the matches. The robattle wasn't won on a medabot's strength
as it was a mixture of strength and planing. One had to know
the different attack potential of the different medaparts
and medabots. One had to keep their medabot in top mechanical
condition for it to work. It also called for careful problem
solving skills. If one thing Nabiki like more than money, it
was developing her skills. Cause with great skills, great
wealth usually follows.
Now she had found someone who also had worked on the skills
behind robattling almost as well as she had. Perhaps even
better. A challenge that may prove interesting. Maybe even a
robattle sparring partner. With Ranma's help, Nabiki might be
able to reach the top position all medafighters dreamed of...
international medabots champion. The money and endorsements
could help her family out as she finally could be known as
something other than her ice queen image. But first...
"Ranma, good match against Akane. Especially since you were
holding back. " Nabiki said, looking at Ranma once again turn
sheepish. Ranmushi, standing next to his medafighter looked
smuge with confidence. "Akane is pretty good, but not as good
as she think she is. I, on the other hand, " Nabiki pulled her
sleeve reveiling her medawatch, "am. Would you like to have a
robattle?" A smile cross Nabiki's face as she thought of the
challenge she was facing.
Ranma looked at his medabot, who nodded. "Okay." Moving into
position to help his medabot.
Nabiki smile got larger as she said, "Come out, Stormklaw."
A beam of light shot out of her medawatch to a point on the
ground as a small circle began to grow. From the circle a
medabot appeared. A cat-shaped medabot with a red and white
paint job emerged from the light. With claws that looked like
electrical prongs, similar prongs on her human-like feet, and
a tail that seemed to have a plug on it, Ranma was able to see
it was one of the many CAT type medabots. A slight tick crossed
Ranma's face upon viewing Nabiki's medabot, but it was gone in
moments.
Nabiki decided to start this thing with her first attack.
"Stormklaw, let's give him a taste of your Electric Claw Slash."
"Right," the medabot replied in a feminine voice as it ran to
her oponent, moving her arms into an arc above her head. As her
arms reached their high point, her claws started to spark.
Ranmushi stood there waiting for the attack as Stormklaw suddenly
slashed down her electritfied claws. Ranmushi seemed to disappear
as her moved quickly to dodge the attack.
"Tail wrap," Nabiki shouted out quickly as her medabot's tail
moved to wrap around Ranmushi's legs. The move managed to trip
up the quick medabot long enough for Stormklaw to turn around
for a new attack.
But it also was quick enough for Ranma to shout, "Hammer Punch!"
With a swift single movement, Ranmushi was able to move his left
arm into a punch towards Stormklaw's head. Fortunately for
Stormklaw, the cat medabot was able to move into a block. The
punch was powerful enough to bring the arm down to 50% fuction.
Than Ranmushi started with his Chanbara Sword, slashing at
the other medabot's legs . Nabiki couldn't believe the beetle
medabot's power. Or his stradegy. But attacking the legs and the
one arm, he had slowed her medabot down and weakened her
attacking power. "Stormklaw, get out of there. Now!" Nabiki
knew her medabot's only chance was to stay away from Ranma's
medabot. Upclose, her was a fighting demon. At a distance,
Stormklaw might have a chance, if she could over come the
medabot's amazing speed.
Ranma looked at Nabiki's latest move. She was preparing
something. Stormklaw's attacks were mostly close-up ones,
the same as Ranmushi. Unless she had been working on
something... That's when Ranma discovered Nabiki's
medabot was begining to spark around the claws. Energy
gather around the prong-claws as Nabiki yelled out
her next move. "Electric Jab!"
The energy that had been swarming around the claws
left as the cat medabot punched forward. Ranmushi
moved quick enough to avoid most of the damage,
but his left arm suffered some damage. 'Time to
start finihing it.' Ranma thought. "Chanbara
Tornado, Ranmushi."
The medabot moved on command. It started spinning
faster and faster as it moved towards the cat medabot.
Nabiki, who was about to call out for another
Electric Jab, nearly didn't have time to shout out
the evade command. But it was too late. The air
pressure sucked Stormklaw in and Ranmushi's sword
sliced her like carrots.
Stormklaw popped out of the torando and fell onto
the ground as her medal fell out of her opened
back panel. Nabiki looked at the medabot on the
ground and then the medabot who beat her. 'He
was good.' Nabiki though as she focused on the
Medafighter. She smiled, "Good match. Guess I'll
have to get more practice." She picked up her
medabot and medal for repairs.
Ranma stood there and watched Nabiki leave. He didn't
notice Kasumi entering with a towel.
Nabiki had just gotten to her room and set her medabot
down on her bed. Akane came by her room. "Kasumi says
the furo is ready for you if you want it." Akane said.
"I'm going to may room to study."
'Study how Ranma kicked your butt,'Nabiki thought. But
a bath would be nice. Nabiki walked to the bathroom
thinking about Ranma and her medabots skills trying to
develop new battle plans to stop her in the next robattle
they had.
She undressed in the changing room and entered
the bathroom proper, only to stop at the sight of a
nude boy emerging from the furo. He was muscular without
being too muscular. He was hansome, in a rogish way.
She also had a problem keeping from staring at his
many instrument. She felt like she was dream, that or
the gods had answered her request for a boyfriend.
He was covering himself when he said, "My name is
Ranma Saotome. Sorry about this." She could only stare
at the confusing situation before her.
The next day...
Nabiki woke up confused with the situation that had
occured last night. After she had left the bathroom
and gotten downstairs she ran into her father and an
older man, who see would learn was Ranma's father.
Ranma showed up shortly after that. His father then
started to explain what had happened. They had ran
into a curse training ground called Jusenkyo.
Appearantly, Genma hadn't learned Chinese before
heading to China. At least that Ranma said before
he and his father start to show how the curses
worked, in a more combated way that what was needed.
Then her father anounced the engagement.
Ranma then stated that he had no time for engagement
as his curse was his main problem. That started a
fight between him and Akane.
'The whole engagement deal isn't going the way that
my father thought it was.' Nabiki thought. She smiled
a bit to herself. 'It serves him right.'
Once they got Ranma to wake up after his Akane attack,
they managed to work out a deal where he would stay
a while to see if they could make it work. It would
also give him time to work out how to cure himself of the
curse.
Now she had to get ready for school and her various
business ventures. With Ranma coming to their school
the betting pools and the various medabot clubs would
need updating. She might even have to check out the
various medabot tournaments that occured in town
everyday. Ranma most likely wouldn't be in this years
world champainship. The scores where already finalized
and the fact he had been moving wround for most of his
life most likely violated the one year rule. Only those
with a stable address for one year could be accepted
for the world champainships.
It was then that she noticed the noise that was coming
from outside her window. She moved to see what was going
on outside. As she looked out her window she saw Ranma
and Ranmushi battling each other outside. She had seen
medafighters who used their medabots for training
purposes before, but not the way the those two were going
at it. Each seemed to be going full out. Rapid fire
punches and kicks being traded and blocked. Ranmushi
even used his sword against Ranma. Ranma dodged it and
used what looked like a powerful punch against Ranmushi.
Nabiki went downstairs trying to figure out what was
going on. Kasumi was getting breakfast ready, her father
was reading the paper, while Mr. Saotome was watching
Ranma and Ranmushi go at it. Adding his two cents worth
every now and then. Akane was nowhere to be seen and was
most likely on her run. "They're very active this morning."
She said to her sister.
It was then that Akane returned from her jog and stopped
in her tracks as she watched the two combatents fought
each other. She was surprized at the skill each of them was
showing. Surprized and envious. She wanted to be that skilled.
She knew that she wasn't that good, but she didn't want to
admit it to anyone else.
Ranma finished his fight by flipping Ranmushi over and
used the medabot's own sword to place him into check.
"Looks Like I win!" said Ranma.
"Not quite..." Ranmushi said, as he used the last of
his strength to launch Ranma into the Koi pool. "You may
have won, but you also lost your manhood." The medabot
chuckled at his joke. Ranma looked at his medabot daggers
in his eyes. This wasn't the first time his medabot had made
jokes at his expence.
"Not funny.." Ranma said, only to cause his medabot to start
laughing again.
"Looks like my son needed practice to stop looking like a
weak girl. " Genma said, approaching his son.
Ranma knew it would be right to lose his temper, but...
He moved quickly to pick up his father and throw him into
the Koi pond. A panda emerge. "Not bad for a weak girl, ne?"
"Oh my," Kasumi said as all eyes turned to her, "I guess that
Mr. Saotome might want something else for breakfast." With
that she pulled out a plate of bamboo and placed it on the
table.
Nabiki was feeling that this day of school was going to be
filled with surprizing twists and turns. And she was going
to be the one to benifit from them if she could help it.
Also she needed to do was be ready for any of the strange
things that seemed to surround the Saotome. But she kept
having a sinking feeling that she was only seeing the tip
of the iceberg that came towards her familiy.

Both possibilties were pluses in Nabiki's opinion.
Soun, however, wasn't focusing on this aspect.
He was more focused on the fulfillment of his
dreams to unite the schools. He ran forward to hug
his new son-in-law to be. He was in the middle of
hugging Ranma when he noticed that something wasn't

Ranma asked quietly, yet with a growing anoyance.
Nabiki looked at Ranma, reliesed that she was poking
another girls breast and stopped.
Several looks crossed Nabiki's face as she took in
the information. Disappointment, renewed hope,
followed finally with a mild anger at her father.
" Daddy, I thought you said that Ranma was a boy."
She said coldly to her father as he got up from his
fainting spell. "I don't understand..." Soun said,
only slightly noticing his daughter talking to him.
"I thought that Genma's son would be a boy."
Akane looking at the girl and being relieved that
she wasn't a boy, decided to make friends with the
girl. "I don't believe the two of you." She turned
to Ranma. "Hello, My name is Akane. Would you like
to be friends?" She asked. Ranma seemed to perk up

at how good she was. She also wanted to see how good
that fighter medabot was."
"Okay." Ranma answered looking at her medabot,
Ranmushi. "If it's okay with Ranmushi." Ranma
wanted to make friends with the girl, but not at the
cost of losing his other friend.
"I'm always ready for a robattle. I am the best that
was ever made." came the robots reply in a voice of
total confidence. Beside, it might let his medafighter
make some new friends.
In the Dojo...
Akane was getting ready to prove her skill against
this new girl. How good could she be? "Alright, come
Scout!" Akane said into her medawatch. The circuitry
acted, teleporting her medabot to the dojo. Then she
slipped the medal from where it was stored in her
medawatch to the back hatch in her medabot. Once
placed in her medabot came to life.
Scout was always willing to help her mistress
out in a fight. She rarely lost for her. And this
medabot didn't look to dangerous. Scout was a MAM
Salior-type. Special ability was her shooting. She
had dead-eye aim. Even if she looked like a school
girl with her metallic skirt, sailor school shirt body
and metal bow, she was a fighting machine.
Akane was glad that Nabiki had found away for the
family to have their medabots, especially the way
she had choosen ones that suited their personality.
Now she could show Ranma how she kicked butt.
"Scout, start with your Short Shot." Akane
said hoping to take it easy with Ranma. Scout took
hold of her arm and fired at Ranmushi. Or where
Ranmushi had been. Like lightning the medabot had
moved out of the way of the youngest Tendo's medabot
before replying with it's Hammer punch.
"Like power hammer," Ranma said. "How about somthing
with a little Kick?" Ranmushi then proceed to pull
both legs off the ground while twisting to land
them on top of Scout's body, then flip back into a
standing position. Scout was unready for such
an attack and fell down.
Akane looked at the readings her medawatch was
giving her about Scout's condition. The main
body had taken a lot of damage and the power for
it was nearly ready to shut down. She couldn't imagine
that Ranma could be that good. Calling to her medabot,
"Scout use your repeaters." Akane hoped the attack
could stop Ranma's Medabot for a few minutes while
Akane set up a new attack plan.
Scout the moved her hand to her other arm as she
started firing like a machine gun for the black
beetle. But, before she could hit, Ranmushi dodged
out of the way again. Ranmushi then began hitting
her head with a rapid series of punches to Scout's
head. " Great Rapid Punch, Ranmushi." Ranma cheered
smiling. Akane watched as her medawatch showed her
that Scout nearly was out of power in her head.
Since it was the head that meant any minute now...
A hatch opened in the back of Scout as a small
hexagon shape piece of silverish medal flew out.
Akane looked as she saw that she had lost.
At first she was disappointed. Then smiled at Ranma.
"Good match, but I'm glad that your a girl. I would
have hated to lose to a boy." She didn't notice Ranma
looking a bit depress as she left. Or that Nabiki had
entered the Dojo.
Nabiki had watched the match and was impressed.
Ranma was a skilled medafighter from her observation.
That made him more valuable. Ever since she had gotten
the medabots for her family she had been thinking of
ways to use them to help her families finacial
situation. That was how she had convinced her father
to make the Tendo's Dojo into one of the few Martial
Arts Medabots combat Dojos. Not only could they teach
the normal martial arts, but the could hold medabots
lessons and host medabots robattles. For a modest fee.
That and the time saving work of the medabots had allowed
her family more time for themselves. Especially Kasumi,
who had been able to start some medical studies, at
least part time.
Akane had gotten time to work on her arts. She had to
move to another location at times for when the dojo was
in use. Akane was still becoming a better martial artist
with Scout helping train her. Akane even thought
herself a master at Tendo Anything-Goes Medafightng. She
never imagined that Nabiki could be better than she was
at it. Nabiki was. Nabiki was attracted to the stradgy of
the matches. The robattle wasn't won on a medabot's strength
as it was a mixture of strength and planing. One had to know
the different attack potential of the different medaparts
and medabots. One had to keep their medabot in top mechanical
condition for it to work. It also called for careful problem

wealth usually follows.
Now she had found someone who also had worked on the skills
behind robattling almost as well as she had. Perhaps even
better. A challenge that may prove interesting. Maybe even a
robattle sparring partner. With Ranma's help, Nabiki might be
able to reach the top position all medafighters dreamed of...
international medabots champion. The money and endorsements
could help her family out as she finally could be known as
something other than her ice queen image. But first...
"Ranma, good match against Akane. Especially since you were
holding back. " Nabiki said, looking at Ranma once again turn
sheepish. Ranmushi, standing next to his medafighter looked
smuge with confidence. "Akane is pretty good, but not as good
as she think she is. I, on the other hand, " Nabiki pulled her
sleeve reveiling her medawatch, "am. Would you like to have a
robattle?" A smile cross Nabiki's face as she thought of the
challenge she was facing.
Ranma looked at his medabot, who nodded. "Okay." Moving into
position to help his medabot.
Nabiki smile got larger as she said, "Come out, Stormklaw."
A beam of light shot out of her medawatch to a point on the
ground as a small circle began to grow. From the circle a
medabot appeared. A cat-shaped medabot with a red and white
paint job emerged from the light. With claws that looked like
electrical prongs, similar prongs on her human-like feet, and
a tail that seemed to have a plug on it, Ranma was able to see
it was one of the many CAT type medabots. A slight tick crossed
Ranma's face upon viewing Nabiki's medabot, but it was gone in
moments.
Nabiki decided to start this thing with her first attack.
"Stormklaw, let's give him a taste of your Electric Claw Slash."
"Right," the medabot replied in a feminine voice as it ran to
her oponent, moving her arms into an arc above her head. As her
arms reached their high point, her claws started to spark.
Ranmushi stood there waiting for the attack as Stormklaw suddenly
slashed down her electritfied claws. Ranmushi seemed to disappear
as her moved quickly to dodge the attack.
"Tail wrap," Nabiki shouted out quickly as her medabot's tail
moved to wrap around Ranmushi's legs. The move managed to trip
up the quick medabot long enough for Stormklaw to turn around
for a new attack.
But it also was quick enough for Ranma to shout, "Hammer Punch!"
With a swift single movement, Ranmushi was able to move his left
arm into a punch towards Stormklaw's head. Fortunately for
Stormklaw, the cat medabot was able to move into a block. The
punch was powerful enough to bring the arm down to 50% fuction.
Than Ranmushi started with his Chanbara Sword, slashing at
the other medabot's legs . Nabiki couldn't believe the beetle
medabot's power. Or his stradegy. But attacking the legs and the
one arm, he had slowed her medabot down and weakened her
attacking power. "Stormklaw, get out of there. Now!" Nabiki
knew her medabot's only chance was to stay away from Ranma's
medabot. Upclose, her was a fighting demon. At a distance,
Stormklaw might have a chance, if she could over come the
medabot's amazing speed.
Ranma looked at Nabiki's latest move. She was preparing
something. Stormklaw's attacks were mostly close-up ones,
the same as Ranmushi. Unless she had been working on
something... That's when Ranma discovered Nabiki's
medabot was begining to spark around the claws. Energy
gather around the prong-claws as Nabiki yelled out
her next move. "Electric Jab!"
The energy that had been swarming around the claws
left as the cat medabot punched forward. Ranmushi
moved quick enough to avoid most of the damage,
but his left arm suffered some damage. 'Time to
start finihing it.' Ranma thought. "Chanbara
Tornado, Ranmushi."
The medabot moved on command. It started spinning
faster and faster as it moved towards the cat medabot.
Nabiki, who was about to call out for another
Electric Jab, nearly didn't have time to shout out
the evade command. But it was too late. The air
pressure sucked Stormklaw in and Ranmushi's sword
sliced her like carrots.
Stormklaw popped out of the torando and fell onto
the ground as her medal fell out of her opened
back panel. Nabiki looked at the medabot on the
ground and then the medabot who beat her. 'He
was good.' Nabiki though as she focused on the
Medafighter. She smiled, "Good match. Guess I'll
have to get more practice." She picked up her
medabot and medal for repairs.
Ranma stood there and watched Nabiki leave. He didn't
notice Kasumi entering with a towel.
Nabiki had just gotten to her room and set her medabot
down on her bed. Akane came by her room. "Kasumi says
the furo is ready for you if you want it." Akane said.
"I'm going to may room to study."
'Study how Ranma kicked your butt,'Nabiki thought. But
a bath would be nice. Nabiki walked to the bathroom
thinking about Ranma and her medabots skills trying to
develop new battle plans to stop her in the next robattle
they had.
She undressed in the changing room and entered
the bathroom proper, only to stop at the sight of a
nude boy emerging from the furo. He was muscular without
being too muscular. He was hansome, in a rogish way.
She also had a problem keeping from staring at his
many instrument. She felt like she was dream, that or
the gods had answered her request for a boyfriend.
He was covering himself when he said, "My name is
Ranma Saotome. Sorry about this." She could only stare
at the confusing situation before her.
The next day...
Nabiki woke up confused with the situation that had
occured last night. After she had left the bathroom
and gotten downstairs she ran into her father and an
older man, who see would learn was Ranma's father.
Ranma showed up shortly after that. His father then
started to explain what had happened. They had ran
into a curse training ground called Jusenkyo.
Appearantly, Genma hadn't learned Chinese before
heading to China. At least that Ranma said before
he and his father start to show how the curses
worked, in a more combated way that what was needed.
Then her father anounced the engagement.
Ranma then stated that he had no time for engagement
as his curse was his main problem. That started a
fight between him and Akane.
'The whole engagement deal isn't going the way that
my father thought it was.' Nabiki thought. She smiled
a bit to herself. 'It serves him right.'
Once they got Ranma to wake up after his Akane attack,
they managed to work out a deal where he would stay
a while to see if they could make it work. It would
also give him time to work out how to cure himself of the
curse.
Now she had to get ready for school and her various
business ventures. With Ranma coming to their school
the betting pools and the various medabot clubs would
need updating. She might even have to check out the
various medabot tournaments that occured in town
everyday. Ranma most likely wouldn't be in this years
world champainship. The scores where already finalized
and the fact he had been moving wround for most of his
life most likely violated the one year rule. Only those
with a stable address for one year could be accepted
for the world champainships.
It was then that she noticed the noise that was coming
from outside her window. She moved to see what was going
on outside. As she looked out her window she saw Ranma
and Ranmushi battling each other outside. She had seen
medafighters who used their medabots for training
purposes before, but not the way the those two were going
at it. Each seemed to be going full out. Rapid fire
punches and kicks being traded and blocked. Ranmushi
even used his sword against Ranma. Ranma dodged it and
used what looked like a powerful punch against Ranmushi.
Nabiki went downstairs trying to figure out what was
going on. Kasumi was getting breakfast ready, her father
was reading the paper, while Mr. Saotome was watching
Ranma and Ranmushi go at it. Adding his two cents worth
every now and then. Akane was nowhere to be seen and was
most likely on her run. "They're very active this morning."
She said to her sister.
It was then that Akane returned from her jog and stopped
in her tracks as she watched the two combatents fought
each other. She was surprized at the skill each of them was
showing. Surprized and envious. She wanted to be that skilled.
She knew that she wasn't that good, but she didn't want to
admit it to anyone else.
Ranma finished his fight by flipping Ranmushi over and
used the medabot's own sword to place him into check.
"Looks Like I win!" said Ranma.
"Not quite..." Ranmushi said, as he used the last of
his strength to launch Ranma into the Koi pool. "You may
have won, but you also lost your manhood." The medabot
chuckled at his joke. Ranma looked at his medabot daggers
in his eyes. This wasn't the first time his medabot had made
jokes at his expence.
"Not funny.." Ranma said, only to cause his medabot to start
laughing again.
"Looks like my son needed practice to stop looking like a
weak girl. " Genma said, approaching his son.
Ranma knew it would be right to lose his temper, but...
He moved quickly to pick up his father and throw him into
the Koi pond. A panda emerge. "Not bad for a weak girl, ne?"
"Oh my," Kasumi said as all eyes turned to her, "I guess that
Mr. Saotome might want something else for breakfast." With
that she pulled out a plate of bamboo and placed it on the
table.
Nabiki was feeling that this day of school was going to be
filled with surprizing twists and turns. And she was going
to be the one to benifit from them if she could help it.
Also she needed to do was be ready for any of the strange
things that seemed to surround the Saotome. But she kept
having a sinking feeling that she was only seeing the tip
of the iceberg that came towards her familiy.
