*******************************************************************************************************************************************************

"We got to hurry!!" yelled Jowi as him, Nanami, Luc and the two strangers were running through the woods. Suddenly Luc stopped.

"We won't have much time!!" shouted Luc.

"So what do we do?" asked Gremio.

"I'll do my teleportation spell." sighed Luc. "Everyone gather around me." Everyone was near Luc, but not too close, as not to give him any room to move around. Luc then muttered out three words.


"Aero Du Space!!"


Luc pointed his Gust rod out in front of him, holding it with both of his hands, and wind started to gather there, the mighty gush of wind started to blow behind them and suddenly disappeared.

"FLIK!! We'll never make it back with all these monsters against us!!" shouted Futch, attacking a fire lizard. Flik used thunder runner from his thunder rune.

"AHH!!"

"WAKABA!!" cried Futch as he ran over to Wakaba, who was nursing her leg. "What happened?" Wakaba winced as she moved her hand from her leg. Her leg had been burnt badly by one of the fire lizards, and was unable to move it.
"Flik? Where are you?" shouted Wakaba, frantically looking around, as she was being helped up by Futch. Both of them now saw was a ball of light was where Flik had stood and then shot towards the two of them who were too stunned to move and absorbed the two of them.


"Damn!! We'll never make it back now Lady Jillia!!" Seed yelled as he took care of a Collasuses. Jilla quickly shot an arrow at the monster behind Culgan. Then just like Flik and the others, Seed,Culgan, Victor and Jillia were captured by the ball of light and leaving some confused monsters behind. The ball then landed below the staircase that lead up to Ranma's room.


"WHOA!!!" screamed everyone that was engulfed by the ball of light.

"Will you please get off of me." grumbled Seed as his face kissed the floor.

"I would if master Jowi would kindly get off my back." replied Culgan irritated at the situation.

"Tell then Flik to get off of me and get his cape out of my mouth." grumbled Jowi.

"VICTOR!! WATCH OUT HOW MANY BEERS YOU'VE HAD!!" cried Flik struggling to get loose and escape.

"Phff. Tell the lovers on top of me to get off." retorted Victor, which had earned him several whacks by the four kids left on the top.

"SHAT UP VICTOR!!" cried Luc, Nanami, Wakaba and Futch.

"I'm glad we landed on the side of them young master." said Gremio closing his eyes and sweat-dropping.

"Yep." replied Ryu laughing and sweat dropping. When the others manged to get untangled, Jowi told Flik to take the water, flower and Ryu upstairs so that Huan can make the antidote. Flik nodded and then ran upstairs with the ingredients.

"Futch." grinned Nanami.

"What?" asked Futch, raising an eyebrow.

"You and Wakaba sure look COMFORTABLE together like that!!" laughed Jilla.

"EH!? Bu..but...this..this..uh...be..cause...she...I....monsters.....light....injured...burnt..." stuttered Futch as his face heated up along with Wakaba in his arms. Everyone except for Culgan and Seed were laughing at the two.

"Tell me again how long we've been away from Lady Jillia and Lord Jowi?" Seed asked looking at Culgan.

"About three years."

"That explains it."


Then there was a thump, and Nanami cried out," LUC!? WHAT'S WRONG!!"

Luc was breathing hard and got up onto his knees, clutching his Gust rod to help him balance.

"I don't know why," panted Luc, "but everytime I use any of my spells, my body weakens."

"We better get you back to your room." said Nanami as she helped Luc up, but before they left, Luc said something to Ryu.

"What are you waiting here for Ryu!?" shouted Luc weakly, "You gotta see Ranma, because YOUR blood is needed."

"Wha!! Oh right, thanks Luc!!" shouted Ryu, as it finally dawned to him, why he was here. He ran up the stairs, to help Dr. Huan with the anidote.

Everyone else slowly left the room, except Gremio, who had occupied one of the rooms, near Ranma's room.

'So, this is what my younger brother looks like. Almost like me.' thought Ryu, as he stared at his brother's face.


"Are you ready, Lord Ryu?" asked Huan, holding out the cup, with all the mixed ingrediants, except for his blood. Ryu nodded and pressed the knife on his arm, and applied pressure. He winced a bit and put his arm above the cup as three drops of his blood came out and mixed in with the others. The potion turned from a dark red color and into a light blue color. Huan walked over to Ranma pour the potion down his mouth. Ranma didn't choke and swallowed. Ryu was bandaging up his arm and watched his little brother heal. A light blue surrounded him and the three long scars on his chest were fading, until they were completly gone.

"It worked." said Huan smiling. Ryu was grinning also. Then, they just heard the clock in the room, ring five times.

"And just in time too."

"I'm going to inform the others that he's well, but to leave him alone and give him some time to recover." said Huan as he was leaving.

Ryu then was alone in the room with Ranma, sleeping. He stared at his brother. He has changed so much, and he missed a lot of his life. Ryu walked over to the bed and raised a shaking hand and touched his face. His hand roamed all over his face, looking at every detail. His hands stopped on the gold headband that Ranma was wearing. Ryu smiled.

"Good, he still has it." mummbled Ryu. He then started to leave the room, and before he left he turned and said,


"Good bye, my brother."



"WHAT!?!? HE'S ALIVE!!!" shouted Flik, Camus, Mikltove, Apple, Shu, Jowi, Luc, Teresa, Victor, and Ridley.

Huan sweatdropped as he was being looked at the happy and shocked expressions of the others.

'This is too much for a docter.' thought Huan.


Later that night, Gremio and Ryu decided to leave.

"Why are we leaving young master?" asked Gremio as they walked towards the entrance, wearing their cloaks.

"*Sigh*, I just don't want to see what Ranma has to say to me all of these years." sighed Ryu.

"But what if it's..." started Gremio, frowning. Ryu laughed bitterly.

"Something nice? or something awful that I would never have the nerve to face him?" Ryu replied. He then just walked forward to the entrance, he was almost there until he heard someone shout out.

"IT'S NOT TRUE!! IT WOULD BE SOMETHING GOOD RYU!!"


Ranma ran down the stairs, too much in a hurry to use the elevator. He ran past the guards, who were wondering why their lord was running around in the dark of the night. He ran through the tavern surprsing Leona and then making it out to the front. He just caught the end of Ryu's and Gremio's conversation.

"But, what if it's.." started Gremio.

Ryu laughed bitterly.

"Something nice? or something awful that I would never have the nerve to face him?" Ryu replied.

"IT'S NOT TRUE!! IT WOULD BE SOMETHING GODD RYU!!" screamed Ranma running out from his hiding place. He stood there, tears were falling down his face. He didn' t have his gloves, or boots on he just ran to see him.

"Ranma." said Ryu. Suddenly Ryu collasped and fell to his knees as his arms were in front of him and his hair was covering his eyes.

"Why would you think that I wouldn't appreciate that you were here!?" cried Ranma. "You think I blame you for me not seeing you for the past fourteen years of my life!! Ryu!! You were my only light when I was barely even walking!! We did everything together!! You, me Gremio, mom, dad, Phan and Cleo!! Sure I've missed them, heck I've missed them forever, but I still didn't think you were the fault of my problems!! I missed you terribly, and sure I wanted to tell my adopted sister Nanami and my best friend Jowi, but I just kept it to myself, but I never thought you would come, I would of thought that it was YOU that wouldn't want to see me!! How could you say those things and leave me again when this is what I've always wanted!!! Don't be so selfish in thinking this is what's best for me, when we haven't even talked about it!! don't be so SELFISH RYU!!"

This pierced Ryu's body, but mostly his heart.

'I have been selfish, especially now.' thought Ryu, as he looked behind him and saw his crying brother. He couldn't take it.

'I have to stop thinking of myself, I have to think of my family!!' with that thought, Ryu ran all the way back to Ranma and held him in a brotherly hug.Ranma stopped crying and sniffed, and grabbed onto Ryu.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Can you ever forgive me?" cried Ryu as his own tears slid down.

"Yes. Welcome back. Ryu." smiled Ranma.

"Ahh, once again, I have to deal with the twin tornados." laughed Gremio.


The next morning.......


"Ryu!! RYU!! RYU, RYU, RYU, RYU WAKE UP ANIKI!!" shouted Ranma, shaking his brother like crazy.

"Wha? I'm alright." moaned Ryu.

"Good!! Get dressed and come on!! shouted Ranma, leaving the room. Ryu opened his eyes and grinned.

"Just like on his birthday all those year ago."

**********************FLASHBACK*****************************

"RYU!! RYU, RYU, RYU, RYU WAKE UP ANKI!!" shouted a five year old Ranma. He was shaking Ryu as hard as his six year old body would do.

Ryu rolled over and sleepily opened his eyes.

"What is it?"

"AHH!! YOUR SO CRUEL!!! HOW COULD YOU FORGET MY..." cried Ranma clutching the sheets.

"Birthday?" grinned Ryu reaching under his bed and pulling out a wrapped box.

" YEA!!" yelled a happy Ranma, he grabbed it and opened it up. It was the kite that he saw at the item store and wanted.

"You got me the kite!! Thank you so much!!" cried Ranma hugging his brother. Ryu laughed and hugged back.

"Your welcome, i'd do anything for you." replied Ryu.

"Aren't they cute!!" laughed Cleo as she peeked through the slightly opened door.

"Yeah, they're two in a millon." added Phan.

"They get along so well, don't they."

**************************END OF FLASHBACK****************'

Ryu and Gremio got up and dressed. They then they headed for the great hall, and Ranma told them to wait by the door, until they
were called. When Ranma entered the room, he stood alone on the front, with all the 150 stars of destiny staring back at him.

"*Ahem*, some of you may know what's going on, but anyway, would the following people stand." said Ranma was he took out a sheet of paper from his pocket.

" Jean, Lorilai, Viki, Meg, Luc, Humphrey, Futch, Victor, Flik, Hix, Apple, Tengarr, Sheena, Kasumi, Vincent, Tai Ho, Yam koo, Clive and Maxamillion." shouted Ranma.

"Like I said before, some of you may know this already, but, all of you were in the Liberation army right." said Ranma.

"Yes. All of us were Ranma. What's this about?" asked Kasumi. Ranma grinned.

"An old friend of all of yours. You can come in now!!" shouted Ranma. The doors opened and everyone turned and saw who it was.

"LORD RYU AND GREMIO!!"

"Also known as my older brother." grinned Ranma, at the shocked faces.

"Hey everyone." grinned Ryu then glaring at Ranma, who laughing at his brother's emabarrassment.

'Two can play this game.' grinned Ryu as he tackled Ranma and got him into a head lock and started to mess up his hair.

"AHH!! Ryu!! What are you doing!!" shouted Ranma, trying to get out.

"Doing something I've missed doing to you." laughed Ryu.

"You mean you waited all these years to do this to me?"

"Nope and to watch you!!"

"ARGHH!! LET ME GO ANIKI!!"


"This is a sight to behold." laughed Ellie.

"Doesn't Aniki mean older brother?" asked Nanami.

"Yep, now things should be interesting." grinned Luc.

"And we might need to make the castle bigger." said Futch.

"Why?" asked Wakba.

"I have a feeling that some other old friends are going to be coming now that Ryu is here." replied Futch sighing.

"You don't mean, Ryu's army do you?" asked Meg.

"I think so." laughed Kinnison.

"Well, at least things are going to get interesting." laughed Nanami.

"LET ME GOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANNNIIIIIKIIIII!!!!" cried Ranma, and everyone cracked up at the brothers.
