: Phone call
Opening the door Ranma peeked inside and saw a long stairway going down. The air from the cellar was that of rotten flesh. "Ugh, next time remind me to bring deodorant." The three stepped through the door and slowly made their way down the stairs.
The stairs ended up in a long, wide corridor and at the end of the corridor was a steel door. Ranma stopped as he sensed a familiar prescence. "The Blade is in there and so is Lothar if I'm right. Knowing Lothar he will have Temeron with him in there and probably some other demons as well. Can you two take care fo them while I go for Lothar?"
Dante and Trish nodded. "No problem, you get that bastard and make em pay for what he did to Sam."
"I'll do that, now please step back a bit."
"Sure." Dante and Trish backed off. "But why?"
Ranma said nothing, he took of his coat and dropped it on the ground, his wings coming from his back. His aura flared and he pushed off rocketing straight towards the door. He hit it and went straight through.
Temeron was looking at his master as he was just about to reach for the blade. At first it had thought it would take its master a lot more time to pass through the time distortion barrier. But here he was, already past the last test and about to get the sword when something came in through the door. It snapped around and saw Ranma flying through that air as he transformed. It knew what he was about to do and knew it had to try and slow Ranma down even it there where several barriers between Ranma and Lothar. It retched as it gathered it's poisoness and acidic spit in it's mouth.
Dante and Trish followed Ranma into the room and when they came in they saw Ranma flying straight towards Lothar was about to reach for the blade. As Ranma flew through the air he transformed, for the first time Dante and Trish saw Ranma in his true demon form and they had to admit it looked cool and powerfull. They quickly realised were they where and looked around. They saw Temeron looking at Ranma and preparing to attack him. Withour hesitating Dante drew his weapons and fired at Temeron hitting him straight one. Not waiting the darted towards Temeoron and where shocked when he simply jumped out off the way.
Ranma saw Lothar reach for the blade and pushed himself even further. He saw a shimmer in front of him and felt a slight tingle as he hit the first barrier protecting the blade. He then hit the second and everything seemed to stand still. Then there was a birght flash as he was thrown back and slammed into a wall hard.
Temeron was avoiding the attacks of both Dante and Trish and glanced over his shoulder as he saw Ranma about to reach the first, divine, barrier. It shocked him when he past right through it without any trouble. Then there was a bright flash and right after that a sharp stinging pain in his chest, He managed to catch a glimpse of Dante who had stabbed Allistor through its chest.
Dante, even though blinded by the light, managed to take down Temeron but then the shockwave hit him and he to was flung back where he crashed into a wall.
Ranma shook his head trying to get rid of the cobwebs. When his vision cleared he saw Lothar standing there, The Blade of Humanity in his hands. "Shit!!" Ranma cursed as he got back up, he knew he had to get that sword away from Lothar.
Ranma started off towards Lothar when he turned around and looked straight in Ranma's eyes. A smile came to his face as he raised his hand and pointed it at Ranma. Ranma thinking he was going to shoot something at him prepared for it. But then Lothar moved his hand and looking in the direction it was aimed he saw Dante and Trish. They where inconscious due to the blast. Seeing them lying there Ranma didn't hesitate. He dashed towards Dante and Trish.
Lothat's smile grew even wider when he saw Ranma run for his friends. He shot of a powerfull energy blast towards Dante and Trish and laughed when the blast struck them.
Ranma was thrown back by the blast and when he got up he saw Dante and Trish lying on the ground. They had many wounds all over their bodies. He got up and made it over to their side. Checking them over his head slumped as tears rolled down his face. "I will make him pay for this." Ranma got back up, his head snapped up and he glared at Lothar. "You bastard you killed them, DIE!!" Closing the gap in the blink of an eye Ranma attacked Lothar at full frenzy, his entire body nothing but a blurr.
Lothar's smile remained while Ranma attacked him, the Blade of Humanity had increased his powers greatly. He dodged and deflected Ranma's attacks almost lazily and he could tell that this was frustrating Ranma. At one point he ducked under one of Ranma's blows and just to toy with him he began to poke Ranma whenever he missed. At one point jabbed one of his fingers in Ranma's arm just when he pulled it back. This caused his finger to drag a large wounds across his arm.
Ranma ignored the stinging pain caused by the wound and pushed himself even further. He punched kicked with all of his skills. He knew now that he had no hope of hitting Lothar straight on he had to lure him into a trap. Ever since the fight began he has been analysing Lothar's moves and favored ways fo dodging certain strikes. He had found that Lothar dodges Ranma's hooks by stepping back and letting the fist fly by him. I got ya now you dirty asshole. Ny now he and Lothar had been fighting for over 30 minutes yet neither of them was even showing a hint of getting tired. As the, one sided, fight went on Ranma began to incorperate more and more hooks. Then he saw his opening. Just when Ranma attacked with a right hook and he attacked. "FLAME SWORD!!" From Ranma's hands came a blade of fire and because Lothar had just stepped back enough to dodge the hook the balde would hit his head. He was stunned when Lothar's brought his arm up faster then he could see and simply blocked the attack with his arm.
"Interesting Ranma, it seems your powers have grown even further. But something as pathetic as your sword can't stop the Blade of Humanity or me." Looking at the blade Lothar was glad he had the Blade in his possesion. Without it Ranma's fury would have killed him as soon as he first began attacking. He looked in Ranma's eyes and kicked him in the chest with his leg.
Ranma was sent flying and he could feel some of his ribs break. The kick was so powerfull that he hit the wall with enough force to become imbedded in it. He slowly came lose and fell down to his knees, clutching his ribs. He looked up and saw Lothar coming his way. He struggled to get up but much to no avail. He was still to hurt to properly move. He saw Lothar raise his sword and Ranma did the same, hoping he could block the attack.
Seeing Ranma raise his sword Lothar spoke. "That's of no use Ranma, that puny sword won't be able to stop me." Finishing those words he struck down at Ranma with the blade. The blade struck Ranma's sword and it simply dissapated. Lothar's attack continued and struck Ranma's shoulder. The blade cut through Ranma's arm as if it weren't even there.
Ranma screamed as Lothar cut of his right arm. He looked at it and saw his arm lying on the ground. He clutched the wound and tried to stop the bleeding. Never had he felt pain like this. It felt as if his very soul was wounded by this attack.
Lothar laughed louder and louder as Ranma's screams grew louder. The he felt something and all of a sudden time seemed to stand still.
Nothing within te cave moved, not Lothar, not Ranma then between Ranma and Lothar saw a shimmer appear and it grew and grew.
Akane was lying in her bed, unable to sleep knowing that today was the day Ranma and the others would attack Lothar. She was tossing and turning when all of a sudden an image of Ranma in pain and wounded flashed through he mind. She shot up and stared out the window. "Ranma." She whispered as her body began to glow, then with a bright flash she dissapeared.
Then the shimmer exploded in a bright flash and there stood Akane. Akane's face was calm as she looked around, she saw Trish and Dante lying on the ground. She could tell that they where dead. She then looked at Lothar standing in front of her, it seemed he was laughing. When she turned around and saw Ranma tears came to her eyes. "Ranma, my love." She kneeled in front of him and brushed his cheeck. As soon as she touched him time for Ranma resumed while the rest stood still.
Ranma suddenly found himself looking at Akane who was caressing his cheeck. "Akane?" He was about to ask how she came here when he looked into her eyes and saw something. "No, this isn't possible. Sam?"
"Yes Ranma it's me." Samantha stopped Ranma from speaking by placing a finger on his lips. "I have to keep this short but all I can say is that heaven forsaw these events and put my soul into Akane's body. I was to be your link ot humanity as they called it. Now I won't be able to suspend time like this for much longer. I will try and hold Lothar off while you prepare yourself for an attack." Not allowing Ranma to do anything she turned around. "The blade of Humanity has the ability to destroy a soul completely leaving nothing behind. I will use my own power and soul to hold him off. Remember that I have always loved you and will always love you." Samantha was about to leave Ranma's body when a female voice stopped her.
"STOP!! I will not allow you to sacrifice yourself."
Turning around Samantha saw Ranma, now female looking at her.
"I will hold off Lothar, you belong with Ranma." Ranma started to glow bright blue and a young girl stepped from her body. As soon as she had left her body Ranma was changed back to a guy. He just stood there looking at the girl just having stepped from his body. She looked at Ranma and Akane and smiled. "You are wondering who I am?"
Both nodded their heads.
"I am the soul of the girl who had drowned in that spring you fell in. I am an angel and I am called Alliel, a being from heaven. I was sick and tired of the way heaven used humans for their plans. I left heaven and chose to become mortall yet I retained my powers. When on earth I fell into that spring and panicking I drowned. When you first fell into the spring I felt that demons within you and tried to get ird of it. But as I tried I found out it had to evil intentions and as you memories became clear to me I knew you weren't an evil man. I have seen everything you've been through in your mind and know that this was the doing of someone in heaven. I cannot allow you to lose Samantha twice, I will sacrifice my soul to hold Lothar off my angelic powers will remain behind. Ranma you fulfill your destiny and take him down." Looking in Ranma's eyes she could see the protest coming but stopped him. "No don't this is my own choice, let me do this." With those words she turned around and time resumed.
Lothar swung down his sword and it stopped when it hit somekind of barrier. "What the?" Looking she saw a young girl standing there creating a barrier that stopped the blade."Who are you and where did you come from?"
Alliel did not asnwer all she did was look over her shoulder making sure that Ranma was getting away. She saw him backing of and smiled, she felt her last energy leave her as the barrier flickered and dissapeared. The sword came down and hit her. Even though pain flared through her body she kept smiling.
Ranma saw Alliel get hit by the sword and screamed. "NOOOOOO!!" As he tried to get back up he felt something hot in his pocket. Instinctively he reached in is pocket and pulled out his and Samantha's ring. They where glowing bright red and as he held them he felt them burn into his hand. The pain was enormous yet he did not let go. Soon the pain started to dull and he felt energy return to his body. As energy flowed through his body he felt a warm sensation from his right shoulder. Looking at his shoulder he saw his arm regrowing and within moments his arm was back. Then everything went happened so fast. Energy kept flowing through his body and he started to change. His hair turned from fire into the purest silver and his eyes became white within black. Ifrit started to grow and soon a golden armor covered his entire chest. The bracers on his legs and arms changed also, they shrunk and fitted hos body tighter, like a second skin. Then a voice resonated in his mind.
"You are now the one who will wield the ultmate weapon. You are now a perfect being, one with the light of heavens and darkness of hell in his human heart. You will wield me and defeat tha darkness threatening humanity. Rise Ranma and face your enemy."
Ranma felt like he had been waiting for those words, getting up he looked at himself and opening his hand he saw that the two rings had become one.
Lothar had stopped when he saw Ranma transform again. Then as Ranma got back up something told him that he had to take him out or he would be in trouble. Not hesitating he dashed forward and attacked. He brought the blade down with all his might.
Ranma saw Lothar move and gripping the rings in his left hand he placed his right above his left and light shot from his hand as a sword formed. The lifght flared and as it dissapeared a sword of crystal remained behind. Bringing the sword up he blocked Lothar's attack without even looking. When he had stopped the attack he looked up and stared into Lothar's eyes.
Lothar's eyes grew as his mouth hung open. "How?"
"How is not your concern Lothar, I suggest you make peace with yourself because you will die." Ranma pushed away with his sword and pushed Lothar back. He then walked towards Lothar. Lothar screamed and charged at Ranma. "RHAAAAAAAA!!" He came in hard and fast his sword sutting and stabbing at Ranma.
Ranma's expression remained calm as Lothar attacked, he dodged, blocked and deflected the attacks coming at him. Ranma played with Lothar as he had played with him, sometimes dodging a strike by mere inches and other times he was long gone before he ever cam close. Eventhough his expression was calm inside Ranma was cheering. WHOA this is great I've never felt like this before. Alliel left something behind that's for sure.
Lothar continued to press his attack while Ranma hoped around. At one point Ranma sidestepped an imcomming attack and then and brought down his own sword, cutting of Lothar's right arm. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Lothar dropped the Blade of Humanity and clutched his shoulder. To him it felt as if part of his soul was cut off. He looked at Ranma and saw him standing in front of him. "What are you?"
"I don't know what I am, all I know is that a day I have been looking forward to for a long time has come. The day of your destruction, now get ready because your' dead." Ranma held the sword next to his left hip and held it with his right hand. Then in one move he drew it and in a large arc swung it down."KON ADAUCHI!!! The blade gave off a calming white light as it traveled through the air. It moved without a sound.
Lothar managed ot pick up the Blade and lift it but when Ranma's sword hit it it simply cut through it and then continued on and cut Lothar in hallf. When the blade touched Lothar he screamed and only stopped because the sword cut through his windpipe. In that split moment Lothar felt the pain of every one he had ever harmed or killed. As Lothar's body fell apart gold lights escaped from the two parts. They all hovered in front of Ranma.
Ranma looked at the golden lights and then heard voices in his head. The voices came from the spirits, they told him that Lothar had killed then just for the fun of it. In unison they spoke to him. Ranma we thank you for what you did. Now we will be able to rest in peace. The golden lights started to rise up and simply passed through the ceiling and kept going up. Ranma looked up and smiled but the smile soon dissapeared when he thought of what the fight had cost him. He looked down and looked at Dante and Trish's bodies. Kneeling next to them was Akane/Sam.
As Ranma walked to Dante, Trish and Akane his body changed back, the sword dissapeared and around his finger there remained one ring. "Sam?" Ranma said kneeling next to Akane/Sam.
"No it's me Ranma, Sam is resting. Manifesting herself within me and taking me here to hold off Lothar took a lot of energy. She explained to me why she did ths and I can understand." She then looked into Ranma's eyes and saw the sadness and tears present. Not hesitating she came forward and embraced him as the tears broke free. "I'm sorry Ranma."
Ranma said nothing, only tears and sadness where in his mind. He held onto Akane while he cried. Then all of a sudden he felt Akane tence up and slowly backing away he looked into her eyes and saw a shocked look on her face. Swallowing hard he pushed back his grief. "What's wrong?"
Akane said nothing, all she did was look straight ahead. Pulling away Ranma turned around and saw what Akane was looking at. Two angels are standing a short disctance away, looking at them. "What the hell!"
One of the two angels, one with golden hair and wings came forward. "Not hell Ranma, heaven. I am an Arch Angel Malcia, and this is Ezegiel."
"Whatever, what are you doing here? If you're herwe to help you should have come sooner." Ranma felt himself getting angrier, here where two angels who could have helped him against Lothar.
"Oh we're not here to help, We are only here to retrive something."
Ranma felt Akane tap his shoulder and he turned around. "What is it?"
"Those two are one of the reasons why Samantha is within me."
"WHAT!!??"
"They put her soul in my body, making me somebody that could support you." Akane felt a tear run down her cheeck as she thought of how Samantha was put insde of here, them denying her her rest.
Ranma turned around and his aura blazed to life, his anger was rising every passing minute. "Why you!!"
Ezegiel stepped past Malcia and came towards Ranma. "I am Ezegiel and I want to appologise for what we did. It was not my choice to do these things. Again I am sorry." Ezegiel lowered his head in shame.
Ranma heard what Ezegiel said and a question came to mind. "What do you mean, the THINGS you did?"
Ezelgiel looked up and into Ranma's eyes, he saw the fires present and knew that Ranma was angry. He was about to speak when Malcia tried to silence him.
"You will not tell these mortals anything, it is of no importance that they know what we did. Come we will take what we came for and leave."
What Ezegiel did than surprised Malcia. "NO! I will not remain silent, they have the right to know this. Ranma remember the day that Samantha died, you where called by Dante to go on a hunt isn't that right?"
Thinking back to that day Ranma had indeed been called by Dante. "Yes."
"What you don't know is that we where the one that contacted Dante for that job. We knew that Lothar was planning to attack you in your house and we also knew that a severe emotional shock could awaken your demon powers. So we called you away from your home making it so Samantha was alone." Ezegiel hung his head low, not daring to look into Ranma's eyes. If he had he would have seen tears running down his face and pure darkness in his eyes. "I am sorry for what we did, if it had been up to me I would have tried to find another sollution but Malcia was in charge and I was forced ot follow orders."
Ranma started to shiver. His hands where clenched into fists and his eyes where locked with Malcia's eyes, the still sane part of his mind told him that Ezegiel was telling the truth that he disliked the plan so most of his rage was aimed at Malcia.
Malcia snorted at Ezegiel's story. "We had to make sure he would awaken and this was the only way. Now that you've told him your story let's take what we're here for and get back. When we get back you and I will have ourselves a serious talk." Malcia stupidly ignored Ranma's furious gaze and turned his attention to Akane. "Samantha, it's time you get back with us."
Akane looked at Malcia. "NO! She will not go back with you, she told me she wants to stay."
"HA!, what she wants is irrelevant, she will go back with us no matter what. Now. Rgh." Malcia's words where taken from him as he was lifted into the air by a hand around his troat.
Ranma having digested the story and the remark about Samantha having to go back had enough. He darted forward as his body transformed and grabbed Malcia by the troat and lifted him into the air. "LIKE HELL! SHE WON'T GO BACK WITH YOU!"
Malcia looked down and looked into Ranma's rage filled eyes and tried to swallow but a hand around his troat prevented this. He tried to break free from Ranma's graps but found it impossible. Ranma's grip was stronger then anything he had ever experienced.
"If Sam's doesn't want to go she will stay, that is if Akane doesn't mind her being inside of her."
Akane walked over to Ranma and looked into Malcia's eyes. "No I don't mind, I like the company. She's been with me for several years now, even though I didn't know this. Now that I do I don't mind, I actually like her being here."
Ranma pulled Malcia close to her and held his face close to his. "Now that you know that she doesn't wanna leave I suggest you two go back to what ever hole you came from and stay there." Ranma threw Malcia away like a rag doll, he hit the wall and slumped down but did not stay down for long.
Malcia got up seathing with anger, how could a demon blooded human dare and touch a being from heaven. "WHY YOU!!" Malcia was about to charge Ranma when he saw a HUGE ball of energy in Ranma's hand.
"I suggest you SHUT THE FUCK UP and get your ass out of here, NOW!!" Ranma's aura grew birghter and larger every passing second. "Tears once again brimmed his eyes.
Malcia sighed and shook his head. "Come Ezegiel we go back, you and I have something to talk about." With that Malcia turned around and in a bright flash dissapeared. Ezegiel however smiled when Malcia left.
Ezegiel looked at Ranma and walked over to him. "Ranma, I am allowed to reward you for your accomplishments. God him/herself told me to give you three wishes as you might call it and if he/she can fullfill them iut will be done. Again I apologise for the things that have happened in your life. I can only stay here for a short while longer. If you want me to come back later and hear your wishes I shall do so."
Ranma looked at Ezegiel with a questioning look. "You mean for the stuff YOU guys put me through I get three wishes?"
"Yes."
"I see, well I can think of the first one, no prob. Bring backanyone hwo died in the fight against the demons today." Ranma looked over at Trish's and Dante's bodies and sighed.
"Done!" As soon as the words left Ezegiels lips Dante and Trish started to move and opened their eyes,
"Ugh, what happened, the last thing I remembered was stabbing the little Temeron." Dante looked at Trish and the look on her face told him that she also had no idea.
Ranma pushed away the sadness for there was no reaon for it anymore and told him the events that happened after the flash. How they died and Akane showed up, everything.
"Whoa you mean we where dead........ COOL!"
"Yeah for you maybe but it seriously pissed me of, I'm glad you two are back." As he was telling the story Ranma had decided on the other wishes. "Akane, does Samantha want to be brought back?"
The question startled Akane and it took her a while to recover. She then closed her eyes and a few moments later opened them. "No she wants things to remain as they are."
"Good, then I know what my other wishes are. My second wish is for a friend of min, Ryoga Hibiki, he has a very bad sense of direction and I want you to fix that little problem for me."
Ezegiel smiled, Ranma was thinking about others before himself. "Concider it done. What about the last wish?"
"That one might be a bit hard to swallow but here we go. From now on I never wanto to see an angel on earh ever again, unless they ask me first. I know what you're gonna say but we help others and create miracles. Well fine with me as long as you let me know first. Also don't worry about the demons, I will continue to hunt them down untill every last one of them is dead. If I run into an angel I am not told about I will personally kick his or her ass back to heaven is way up to most people I will have to kick REALLY hard to get him or her home. Do I make myself clear?" Ranma's face was stern and it was clear he wouldn't take no for an answer.
Ezegiel was silent for many minutes and when he answered he had a soewhat defeated look on his face. "God says that he/she will do her best but even she can't guarentee this, I am sorry."
"Fine, as long as you try and aren't to concered of getting a few bruises when you do popo up I can live with it." Still angry with the angels Ranma then turned around and took Akane's hand. "Come on let's get out of here, it stinks down here."
Akane nodded her head and started off together with Ranma, Dante and Trish following right behind them.
When Ranma came outside he found the battle nearly over, only a very small group of demons was still alive but Recca and his friends took care of them in no time. Looking around he saw that there where no human bodies on the battle field with a smile on his face he set of looking for Cologne and Herb.
