Ranma stared curiously at the Goku and smirked going back to his kata "whats so funny?" Akane asked, perfectly in step with him, her motions were smooth and fluid as they danced about, not moving an inch apart or closer together. Ranma smiled "Gokus going too quickly, hes going to wear himself out sooner and not get as much toning done as we will." he said loud enough looking at Goku.

He nodded slowing down "I must admit, this is a lot kinder to our bodies then what I'm used to, gets more results too." he said smirking. Ranma smirked lopsidedly "your telling me? Whos wearing the ultra heavy gi here?" he grunted still moving as easily as he had a minute ago.
He shrugged.

"I think we're acclimated to this setting now ranma." Chichi murmured as the kata came to an end. Ranma nodded bouncing into a hand stand and grinned doing pushups that way "you may be right. Should we go to three hundred?" he asked. They looked at each other "I think so, although, I don't want to go above four hundred, I can't forget what it felt like at five." Akane winced in rememberance.

Ranma pouted "come on love, we know we can survive it so we should be able to adjust to it." he said looking pleading. She shook her head glaring "no Ranma, I feel sick." she grumped rubbing her stomach. Chichi blinked at her "you too?" she asked. She blinked and nodded "could it be because we're women?" Akane asked curiously. Ranma shrugged "my curse didn't survive my death last time so I wouldn't know." They pouted at them "what time is it anyways?" Akane asked.

Ranma blinked looking at the console before him "its two in the morning." he said blithely. The two sighed "I'm going to bed." Chichi said firmly. Akane nodded "I'm tired, and hungry." she agreed. Chichi nodded blinking "ya, me too."

Ranma and Goku blinked after them before shrugging "we can continue without them, set the containment field to center around the room." Ranma suggested. He nodded "ya, but if we do that, then we should hit four fifty." he said. Ranma nodded moving into a sitting position as he tapped the comand into the console "four hundred and fifty gravity bars in ten seconds." it hummed.

Goku smirked sitting down "I remember when you did it last, you hit the ground rather hard." he chuckled. Ranma shrugged letting his chi flair out in a contained release. Goku did the same as they sat there "is it just me, or are those two getting a lot more cranky." he grumped. Ranma shrugged grunting softly as the gravity shifted and their auras flattened slightly.

Akane stopped chichi at the door and pointed at the two. She sighed "looks like we got left behind." she grumped. Chichi shrugged "I don't care, I've been feeling uneasy the farther along we got in our training, I don't want to continue right now." Akane blinked at her and nodded "me neither, wonder why?" she asked softly. Chichi bit her lip "maybe we should go to the medical bay, see if all this gravity is effecting us in a bad way."

Ranma looked up from trading lightning fast blows with Goku and did a backflip seeing the girls standing in the doorway looking at them "hi!" he asked cheerfully throwing a small blast at him and laughed slamming into him afterwards and pounded him into the ground for a second. Goku laughed kicking him away "whats up girls?" he asked rejoining the fight.

Akane looked at chichi "we're pregnant." They looked at them blinking as they went from trading blows to slamming into the ground in shock. Ranma regained his senses first and appeared before them "really?!" he asked softly looking excited. Akane smiled nodding "Rankos five now so I guess its ok." she said amused by the exstasy on his face.

Goku grinned hopping out of the room to snatch Chichi up and dance her around. Ranma chuckled walking back over to the console and set the gravity at three hundred and left it there "enough training for this trip." he said walking back over to her looking lustfully determined. Akane grinned subtly thrusting her hips out at him in answer.

Chichi purred at Goku grinning "take me to bed." Goku nodded picking her up and carried her down the stairwell to the lower deck their cabins were in. Ranma growled "to hell with waiting, I can sleep on the floor." he rumbled. Akane snorted bouncing back "we've used that bed twice since getting on this ship, twice in three months." she said crossing her arms. Ranma nodded giving chase as she bolted down the stairs.

Bulma grinned jumping exstatically as she opened the comm switches so she could reach all of them "good news guys! The four of them are a day away from us!" she called happily. Vegeta growled "thats fine! If we weren't being stalked by the god damned genyu force!" he growled looking at the five beings that were lounging around near Friezas ship "who are they?" Krillin asked.

Vegeta grumped "just the best of Friezas fighters, his elite." he growled. Gohan blinked at Ranko "can you get away?" he asked concerned. He spat sourly "I don't need your concern boy! But no, if I took off they would find me on their scouters the minute I powered up." he grumped. Krillin bit his lip "why are they here?" he asked. Vegeta smirked slightly "I went in when Frieza had left and took the other four dragon balls."

They jumped "thats great! We should bring them together and make our wish!" Ranko cheered. Vegeta spat "I'm the only one making a wish brat!" Ranko pouted "how? You don't know how to use them." she said after a minute. He was silent for a minute then glared "you do?" he growled. Ranko preened herself grinning. "we do. We've seen the dragon called a few times." Bulma said quietly triumphent.

He growled low in his throat "bring the balls to me then, but be careful and don't put out more power then you have to!" he hissed. Ranko nodded looking at gohan. "Alright, but don't think we won't be watching you." Krillin grumped taking off at his slowest speed.

Vegeta growled for a minute then blinked seeing a comotion at Friezas ship and glared "damn those scouters." he grumped and blasted off away from them a his fastest speed "step it up! They noticed you!" he shouted looking back to see the flashes of power that meant he was being followed.

He flashed past Bulmas spot and she yelped seeing five other flashes following him "converge on Vegeta guys! He's being followed!" she exclaimed. She got onto the radio and quickly hailed Gokus ship.

Ranma blinked looking up from his idle workout as the monitor in the training room came alive "on, whos calling?" he asked grunting. Chichi appeared "Bulma! Its good to see your alive, wheres Gohan?!" she said glaring at her feircely. Bulma winced "he and the others are heading to meet Vegeta right now to fight these five guys who Vegetas afraid of." she said grimly.

Ranma slipped to the floor "Rankos fighting these things? How powerful?" he asked. She gulped "Vegetas gotten a lot stronger since your fight Ranma, and he's scared of them." she said grimly. Ranma glared at her and she shuttered "couldn't you have stayed out of trouble until we arrived?" he growled feircely.

She glared "hey! Do you realize how much we've been through?! We've fought Vegeta once, four different groups of Friezas men and the local wildlife! Not only that, Vegeta got himself beaten into the ground twice now! Once was protecting Ranko, he seems to value her for some reason."

They blinked at her dumbly for a minute before Akane cleared her throat "that jerk saved Ranko?" she asked. Bulma nodded "she was getting beaten up rather badly and he came to her rescue." Ranma snarled gripping his fist and all of them blinked looking startled when his hair flickered from gold colored to black for a split second "someone hurt my daughter?!?!" he roared.

She nodded dumbly "I just wanted to tell you, their going to get beaten up rather badly in about an hour. Please hurry." Ranma growled hurrying from the room after the monitor slide back into the ceiling and they followed quickly "computer! How soon can we reach namek at our fastest speed?" he asked glaring.

The screen flickered "forty minutes, warning, it will take twenty minutes to deselerate for a safe landing." Ranma blinked "an hour, how convenient." he sat down in his seat and got strapped in. He nodded to the others seeing they were strapped down as well "plot fastest course for namek, maximum speed."

It bleeped at them and they grumped sliding all the way back in their seats "gravity at five hundred and ten, warning, any higher and the ship will desentigrate when it hits the atmosphere." Ranma nodded "maintain current speed, how long until landing?" he grunted. It chirped "forty five minutes."

Gohan and Ranko stopped boosting and dropped in for a landing seeing vegeta land and ran over to him. They looked up and gasped moving away a bit seeing the people that appeared coasting towards the ground suddenly. The five armored warriors sneered at the three as they walked towards them "I see our lords dragon balls are with you Vegeta. Naughty of you to take them from him, he said to punish you."

Genyu chuckled looking at the other two for a minute then stopped looking at Ranko "a female monkey, how boring." he snorted looking up seeing the two others that flashed in for a landing "oh good, you desided to be smart and bring me all of the dragon balls." he said grinning.

He chuckled at them as they slowly backed the five warriors away from the pile of dragon balls "give it up little man, or we'll make you hurt." the fat green thing with them sneered at Krillin insultingly. Krillin glared at him holding the ball closer. Something flickered and he yelped finding it gone. The red pretty boy sneered as he reappeared.

The large purple one, Captain Genyu, sneered "now that wasn't so hard. Stay here and kill them boys, especially the girl, lord Frieza ordered that we destroy any female saiyjins we ever find." he said looking back. Ranko jumped a little looking scared "over my dead body!" Vegeta and Gohan shouted together. He sneered wider "thats what I meant boys." he chuckled.

The dragon balls floated into the air along with Genyu, he sneered taking off to the east. Vegeta glared moving Ranko back behind the others and moved in front glaring at them "don't you dare touch her!" he snarled. Chase laughed "we're so sorry, aren't we Berter?" he said sneering. The blue skinned one nodded "Captains orders, our hands are tied."

Ranma grumped softly looking at the planet below them as the ship breaked harshly throwing them into their harnesses. All of them grunted taking the shock, the girls growled softly at the slight pain. "Reentry in ten minutes." the computer chirped softly. Ranma growled clinching his fists over and over as the land masses came in sight "reentry in four minutes."

Goku looked at the planet concentrating "five very large powers, four massive powers, and one incredibly huge one." he growled. Ranma nodded "King Kai says to not even begin to fight Frieza, he says Friezas one of those people who can make his anger felt on a galactic scale." he grumped. They looked at him grimly before glaring at the planet "I don't care, if he hurts my son he's dead." Chichi snarled gripping the arms of her chair.

Ranma grunted as the ship started shaking "computer, bring the ship in for a coasting landing, 12 degrees longitude, 32 degrees latitude." he ordered glaring. "Landing optimum, damage to ship will be minimal." it said in return. Ranma nodded sitting back as they shot off over the land.

Gohan and Ranko looked up in shock as Vegeta was about to face off against Recoom when something came to them "its daddy!!" Ranko shouted suddenly stalling out both men. Gohan nodded happily bouncing a little "your right! I can feel them! Mom and dad are coming!!" he said loudly.

Vegeta glared at them before jerking "thats them?!" he exclaimed in shock. "But... they were no where near this strong on earth!" he shouted at them gripping his fists. Gohan laughed dancing with Ranko "our dads are here to save us! We're saved!" Krillin grinned along with Choutsu "yep thats them, wow, the changes in them are amazing!"

The remaining members of the Genyu Force blinked at them before snorting "their trying to fool us." Berter said scoffing. Vegeta laughed "thats what Napa said before he was slaughtered by the one coming!" he laughed, then dodged Recooms attack and shouted in pain when he slammed him into the ground with a lightning fast recover move.
Vegeta got back up and started attacking feircely intending to kill him before their reinforcements arrived. Recoom laughed him off and pounded him into the ground yet again and sneered lunging at him as he regained his feet.

Ranma blinked looking up "vegetas been pummeled." he growled clinching his fists. Goku nodded looking narrow eyed "Choutsu and Krillin are powering up. Their protecting the kids."

Gohan looked shocked and afraid moving himself and ranko back when Krillin was smashed into the ground hard stunning him. He glared as the monster batted Choutsu into unconsciousness "you leave Ranko alone!!" he bellowed charging at him angrily.

Ranko shreeked lightly in fear for her friend, then blinked when he smashed the bully off his feet, kicking him hard with an enraged howl. Recoom recovered and attacked. Gohan dodged and returned the big mans hits for a minute before Recoom got in a good blow and followed it up with five more.

Ranko screamed in fear launching a huge anger filled blast at the man making him dodge. She hurried over to the fallen boy and started sobbing looking at his blank face and held onto his twitching hand "hold on Gohan!" she wailed. She looked up and screamed in fear and defiance shielding Gohans body with her own.

Recoom blinked when she glowed very brightly for a second before smashing her into the ground . Ranko got back up and pounded him in the face making him stumble back for a second. She enhaled deeply "DADDY!!!!!"

Ranko tried to block the next blow and screamed in pain as she slammed into Gohans body and screamed rolling onto her side clutching at her arm. Recoom sneered "little twerps, they always scream bloody murder." he laughed raising his fist again to silence her.

Ranko looked up after a minute when no new pain came and looked at the back of Ranmas gi before realizing what she was looking at "daddy! My arm hurts!!" she wailed huddling in on herself. Ranma snarled flashing his hand forward four times in the blink of an eye.

All of them, Chase, Berter, Vegeta and Krillin who had woken up hearing Rankos scream, gapped in shock when Recoom exsploded into bloody chunks. Ranma let his clinched fist stay in the air as he snarled silently at the two remaining members of the Genyu Force "he- he- he made Recoom exsplode!" Chase exclaimed in shock.

Ranma glared turning around and stroked Rankos cheek for a minute stilling her whimper "don't fret so lovely bunny." he murmured softly. She looked at him trimbling softly "it hurts." she whimpered. He nodded smiling in sympathy "I know honey, thats why I have these." he soothed showing her a senzu bean.

She reached out for it quickly. Ranma smiled softly cradling her in his arms after she jumped up grinning "Gohan now daddy!" she said looking back. Ranma smiled waving to Goku and Chichi standing over Gohan. Ranma looked around for a minute and let Akane have her daughter smiling.

He stood up and walked over to Vegeta who was leaning against a rock "I hear I owe you." he murmured softly. Vegeta didn't answer. Ranma held out a senzu bean "you came to our planet to hurt us, we fought, it was more a tie then anything. Any bad feelings I had for you disappeared when Bulma said you saved Ranko."

He blinked at him for a minute before snatching the bean glaring "lets get this strait Saotome, I saved the girl because she's a female, I did not do it for you." he spat.

Ranma nodded watching him eat the bean "thats why I gave you the bean, if you had done it to curry favor I would have let you die." He smirked standing up strait along with him "as it is, your a good addition to have to our species." Vegeta spat "your not a real saiyjin." he snorted walking away.

Ranma shrugged "what I was, doesn't matter, what does is that I'm a saiyjin now, piss me off and I won't show you how to make the girl you choose into a saiyjin." he walked over to the others as Vegeta jumped "Akane, Chichi, lets take the kids and go look for Bulma, then we're heading back to the ship, you guys are staying there after that." he looked at Ranko and Gohan feircely.

Both of them cringe "we couldn't let them go alone daddy." Ranko protested. Ranma looked at her firmly "that still doesn't make up for you getting hurt because you left without us." he said shortly. They looked down chastely. Ranma looked at Choutsu "you come with us too, Krillin can stay or go, Goku wants these two."
They blinked at the stone cold look on his face "geez, I'm glad my dad wasn't that strict." Krillin said softly to Goku.

Goku glared at him "I know where he's coming from." he looked back at the two warriors as the small troop took off into the air. They looked after them before looking at Goku standing there all by himself, Krillin had desided to go with them, Vegeta was watching Goku closely.

Bulma looked up and cried out in fear when Ranma landed next to her with a boom. He looked at her calmly for a minute before the others joined him at a less dramatic pace "please do us a favor and don't consider Ranko and Gohan possible backup when your going on an adventure. That guy I killed shattered Rankos left arm and broke Gohans neck before I stopped him." he said looking at her peircingly.

She paled looking at the two quiet children behind them "they look alright." she murmured softly. Ranma nodded "thats because we brought ten senzu beans with us, just enough to fix what was broken." She bit her lip as Krillin landed and looked down "now what?" she asked. Ranma cocked his head to the side looking at them, "I'm going to go get the dragon balls and we're going to wish Piccolo back to life, then we're leaving."

She blinked at him "we're not doing anything about Frieza?" she asked. Ranma looked at her "King Kai said to avoid angering Frieza at all costs. I think using the dragon balls before he can is enough of a reason to avoid him." Ranma blinked looking up and blinked to the south. "He's a big one, bigger then the others." Akane murmured.

Ranma looked at her "take them back to the ship, I'll get rid of him and go get the dragon balls. Get going." She nodded kissing him gently before grabbing Bulma "grab something and lets go." she said looking at the others. Ranma took to the air and flew slowly towards the power starting to come towards them.

Ranma arched an eye brow at the red skinned one and Captain Genyu when they stopped seeing him blocking their way "thats the other one captain! He killed Recoom almost like it was nothing!" he said looking afraid. Genyu sneered at ranma "your one of the two that turned a good warrior like Chase into a coward." he comented.

Ranma looked at him emotionlessly "and your the one that ordered them to kill my daughter." he agreed. He shrugged "Friezas orders stand, if a female saiyjin is found we kill her " he blinked at him and looked a little surprised when the gold color flickered in his head for a second again. "Thats what makes this fun fruit boy." Ranma said smirking. Genyu tensed up and disappeared.

He reappeared as Ranma slammed his palm into his chest stopping him flat. His eyes bulged slightly from the whiplash and Ranma smirked holding up one finger "one finger kill." he explained pressing it to his chest above his throat.

Before he could do anything Ranma slammed the finger into his neck punching into his windpipe. Genyu gasped darting back in shock. He grabbed his neck looking pissed and coughed up blood. Ranma smirked at the two before disappearing himself.

They broke away from each other and stood ready for the attack to come. They blinked when Ranma reappeared between them holding up his hands palms out. They cried out in shock barely dodging the blasts he fired at them. Chase cried out in warning as Ranma ripped him up and smashed him into Genyu sending both into the dirt.

Ranma stood there glaring darkly at the two as they struggled their way up and stood ready for him "so your one of the legendary super saiyins my lord Frieza told us about." he said glaring. Ranma blinked at him not understanding what he was talking about. Genyu blinked at him for a moment then grinned "you have no idea what I'm talking about, how beautiful!" he cackled looking at the sky "a super saiyin that doesn't know how to use his power!"

Ranma ignored him as he darted after them again. Genyu laughed meeting him head on and they quickly started trading hundreds of blows in seconds as they fought, Chase floated back gapping at the sharp clapping sounds their fists made as they broke the sound barrier so readily. Ranma broke them apart with a spin kick that slammed Genyu to the ground. He coughed more blood up and sneered at ranma.

Goku and the others blinked looking up feeling something that startled them "what the hell was that!?" both Chichi and Akane asked standing strait. Vegeta looked at them confused as he stood off to the side watching them. "I don't know, it almost felt like Ranmas power level disappeared for a minute then reappeared half as powerful as he should be!" goku exclaimed.

They blinked looking at each other for a minute before Akanes eyes widened slightly "his power levels dropping." The others looked at each other "lets go help daddy mom!" Ranko pleaded. Akane fixed her with a stern eye then nodded "this once." she said firmly.

Vegeta snorted taking off into the air after them "this is foolish, their endangering their children by doing this." he growled to goku when he flew up next to him. Goku shrugged "are you going to tell them to stay?"

Authors Rant!!

part two of arc two is now complete! i apologize for the lateness of this posting but.... many things have happened to me lately, for one, my internet access got cut off not once, but TWICE! my computer had a meltdown once last months and i had to reformat the harddrive, thankfully i have backups of all my stories on floppies, thats the only good news though, it took me two weeks to reinstall everything because my Windows 98 CD got nuked somewhere along the line and i had to borrow my freinds copy, took me a week and a half to get around to loaning it to me.

so, you could say that i've had very little time to actually write anything, you never realize how much stuff goes into having your computer comfortably designed. besides this one i thave two others that i will be posting as soon as i get them back from proofreaders, one of them is Galactic Calendar: Ascension Wild! this one deals mainly with pretty much the same primise as Avenging Spirits! it is in fact, the story i wrote first! i stole the beginning of that story for this one! i'm adding bits of things from some series into this one, but it will be an originial universe, i will not introduce any characters from other anime series, this is a mainly ranma fic. i think you'll like it.

the second story i am coming out with, which doesn't really have a title yet, though i'm thinking of just calling it The Reign of Fire. and you probably guessed it! i took the basic premise of the movie Reign of Fire, you know, evil dragons from the center of the earth coming to kill everything, and changed it, i still haven't decided what the evil at the center of the earth will be but its not just going to be dragons. so far i've gcrossed it with Gundam Wing, DragonBall Z, Sailor Moon, Rerouni Kenshin, and Tenchi Muyo! i plan to have two to three other series cross over with this one but i fell off the writing wagon on it and theres no telling how long it will take to get back on. the good news is that i've gotten at least eight chapters from the serge of insperation. i don't know if you'll like it or not, my proof reader seems to think it will be though, i guess time will tell.

anyways, this is AII PII of Avenging Spirits, wait for the next one!
