"Majigen?" the two hybrids asked.

Lilith sweated when she noticed the intense glare Ranma was giving her. Plus, Dante's hand seemed to be inching closer to his guns, the trigger happy hunter. She cursed silently. She just had to mention the word 'Master' to the two of them. Oh well, no use moping about it now. "Eh heh, it's a totally different dimension from Ningenkai and Makai. Time passes differently in this realm as well. Jedah created this from the thousands of souls he has assimilated into himself."

Ranma wasn't through yet, "…and the 'Master' part?"

The succubus looked down and shuffled her feet, "Uh… oh heck, might as well tell you the whole thing. Hundreds of years ago, my power was divided into three parts by that lying, dirty, no-good, son of a bitch! Uh, sorry… kinda got carried away there… ahem, by that bastard Berial. He sealed a third into himself, another third into my original body, and the last third into a sealed dimensional space that only he had access to. I was formed from that sealed space even before Berial croaked. When he died, the one sealed inside him returned to my original body but I did not. Hee hee, it's because I was pretty much the dominant part of the three since I have my past memories before the split happened.

I freed myself from that space but I found out that I couldn't last for long without a body. I frantically tried to search for my other half but I could only go so far. In just a few days, I started to get weak, and I knew that I'd be dead by now if it hadn't been for Master Jedah. He found my spirit form just after he was resurrected. At first he was going to assimilate me into himself but he stopped and listened to what I had to say, then, he offered to give me a temporary body if I agreed to help him find powerful souls for him to assimilate. I agreed of course, and this body you see before you was the one I chose for myself."

By now, a noticeable twitch formed on Ranma's head, "So you helped me survive my fight with Raizen to help you find your other half right?" he saw Lilith nod her head, "Okay, but why do I get the feeling that you also want me and Dante to be part of the souls to be assimilated by this Jedah character after I located your other half?"

Lilith sweated under their gaze.

Ranma went silent then turned to Dante with a sigh, "You were right, I should've killed her."

Dark Ascension

By Insane Blight

The Evil Realm Majigen I: The Gathering

Morrigan grimaced in pain as she started to wake up. She slowly sat up and blinked when the first thing she saw was the blood red sky that kind of resembled the aurora borealis, though this one seemed beautiful and deadly at the same time. She winced as she finally got up, what in the nine hells happened to her anyway? "Okay, calm down Morrigan. Now let's see… I was on my way to Aensland Castle when this strange light suddenly appeared above me and then… nothing." She frowned slightly, "Well, one thing's for sure… whoever did this is dead."

She flapped her wings and she patted her butt, dusting herself a bit. She took another moment to look at her surroundings, this was definitely not Makai. From the numerous blob pillars, to the absolutely grotesque creatures swimming on a number of fire and ice pits, yes, this was definitely not Makai. Daimakai, the sea of flames, never had such hideous creatures, Daimasou didn't either. She should know, she destroyed the creatures living in those two seas herself, but that was because Berial ordered her to do so.

"Morri-chan? Morri-chan, is that you?" a shaky voice called out from behind.

Morrigan blinked, snapping out of her thoughts. There was only one creature in the three realms that called her by that name, well, the only creature that she allowed to call her by that name. She looked over her shoulder and, yes, there she was, the cat woman and fellow Darkstalker, Felicia. Well, she and Felicia became friends during the events that led to Pyron. Since the Aensland family and the cat-women race were very good allies in the past, the two Darkstalkers really had no trouble getting along with each other and besides, Felicia was quite a partner in bed too, but that's another story. "Felicia? What are you doing here? No, scratch that, where in the nine hells are we?"

Felicia sniffed a bit, "I was about to ask you the same thing. I was taking care of my fellow cat-women when this scary bright light shone down on me and…"

"You blacked out after that, right?"

"Yes."

Morrigan sighed as she embraced the sobbing cat woman, with Felicia burying her face on her chest. She knew that the poor girl was thinking about the other cat-women she left behind, probably worrying herself to death about their well-being ever since she got here. She can't blame her though, there were only a few cat-women left after the powerful Soul Bee tribe attacked their home all those years ago, so Felicia probably treated every cat-women she met as if they were family. "There, there, we'll find a way out of here, I promise… Ahhhhh!!!!"

Felicia was pushed back when the succubus clutched her head in pain. The cat woman watched, wide-eyed as Morrigan screamed one last time before collapsing to the ground, unconscious. Felicia quickly kneeled beside her and started to shake her gently, "Morri-chan! What's wrong? Morri-chan!"

Demitri chuckled as he looked down on his enemies, "Heheh, what a pathetic sight. I should've never wasted my time on you peons."

Lord Raptor and Anakaris were lying on the ground, unmoving. The two Darkstalkers immediately fought each other the moment they arrived in this realm. Anakaris was obviously winning due to his phenomenal strength, but he was also tiring himself out from the amount of power he was using against Lord Raptor. He won in the end, but his victory was short-lived when Demitri flew in and blasted him the minute he let his guard down. Lord Raptor shared a similar fate when he came to and saw the vampire lord looming over his already prone form.

The vampire lord laughed as he spun, his dark cloak flowing behind him. A realm far different from Makai and Ningenkai, and it seemed that it was only occupied by the Darkstalkers. What made this place perfect was the fact that he could sense a familiar succubus in the area as well. "Ah, Morrigan Aensland, it's quite a delight knowing that you are in this place as well my dear. I'll have the pleasure of having you for myself."

He left afterwards, not minding at all that the two Darkstalkers' hands were still moving as they start to regain their senses. It wasn't like they could be of any threat to him anymore and besides, he still had a succubus to capture.

"Heeheeheehee, Darkstalkers, I'll definitely enjoy putting you all out of your misery." The Dark Hunter Bulleta chuckled as she smiled darkly at the downed creatures in front of her, the merman Rikuo and Sasquatch. "Oh, this is heaven… so many Darkstalkers to kill! I can still sense quite a number all around me!"

She backed up when Sasquatch growled and glared fiercely at her as he tried to get up. Bulleta looked at him curiously, innocence all over her face, but that innocence quickly turned into a sick, sadistic, maniacal look. "Heehee, you dare look at a Special S-class Dark Hunter like that? You dumb or something?"

"Grrr…"

Bulleta kneeled down in front of Sasquatch and cupped his face. "Mine! Mine! Mine! You're all mine!!! All of you Darkstalkers are MINE!!!" She grinned as she forcefully opened his mouth and threw in four grenades before he could even blast her with his ice breath. She jumped back, put on her red hood, grabbed her basket full of weapons, and merrily skipped down the road, smiling maniacally when she heard the beast's howl before the massive explosion.

"Now then, who's next? Oh! I sense a werewolf nearby! This is great! La la la la la la la!"

"You really don't remember anything at all?" the Dark Hunter Donovan Baine asked.

"No… I feel like I've met you before but… uh… I just can't remember," fellow Dark Hunter Lei-Lei replied.

Donovan sighed, helping the lost girl up her feet. He had met Lei-Lei and her sister in the past. They even worked together in destroying several vampire lairs in Ningenkai, but now it seemed that the poor girls were suffering from memory loss. He knew it wasn't just normal amnesia, he knew that there was somebody behind it, most likely the one who sent them to this place. "Is your sister still posing as your seal when you are in Kyong-Shi form?"

"Y-Yes, Lin-Lin still acts as my seal so I may not lose myself… other than that, and the knowledge of several techniques, we have no recollection of our past… nothing at all…"

The damphir frowned when he suddenly sensed Demitri's presence in the area. "We should go find whoever is behind all this. I'm quite certain that your memories will be restored once we defeat it."

Lei-Lei didn't know what to say. She and her sister were alone in this realm, with no memories whatsoever. But… this man, this damphir… they felt something. They felt that they could trust him, and they felt that he would look after them as long as they needed it. "Okay… I guess… we'll join you."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I promise I won't do it again! Honest! So don't drop me into the fire pit! DON'T DROP ME INTO THE PIT!!! Pleeeaaaseee!!!"

Dante had to control himself from laughing his ass off at the sight before him. Ranma lifted a tied up Lilith above his head, and was now walking towards one of the volcanic fire pits that were abundant in the area. The little talk with Lilith really set the teen off. Oh don't get him wrong, Ranma said that he knew the succubus was lying to him about some things, he just wanted her to admit it to his face, but sadly, she never did. Now, the kid said that he'll just fry her ass and eat her soul for breakfast, and he looked pretty damn serious about doing it.

"Please!!! I'll be your servant instead! I'll even be your slave! Your sex slave if you want! Just don't kill me please, Ranma! Argh! I'll do anything you say! I'll do anything to get you to put me down!" Lilith yelled with tears running down her face.

Ranma wasn't paying attention though. He was currently eyeing something neither Lilith nor Dante could see. "Whoa… is there a party going on here, Lilith? There are a lot of powerful demons roaming around the place, and when I say powerful, I do mean powerful!"

Lilith blinked, then gasped, "Oh no, the Darkstalkers! I completely forgot about them!" She looked at Ranma, "Let me go, Ranma. You two will need all the help you can get in fighting those demons! They're probably headed this way as we speak! Please let me go!

"Hmm… maybe so… heh, I think the two of us can deal with them, but first…" Ranma muttered, before smiling maniacally, "It was nice knowing you Lilith-chan, bye-bye!"

"NOOOOOOO!!!!!"

"I would not do that if I were you." A deep voice said from behind.

Dante quickly spun, leapt back, and immediately aimed his guns to the figures in front of him. One, two… thirty powerful, flying demons that looked like humanoid bees, plus the one in the middle, the one wearing the black trenchcoat, was hauntingly familiar. 'Wait a sec, black trenchcoat, metallic wings, dimensional hands…' He took a side glance at the teen beside him and asked,"Friend of yours, Ranma?"

Ranma absently released his hold on Lilith and was now wide-eyed as he stared at the tall man in front of him in a mixture of shock and amazement, "Who in the world?"

"Master Jedah!" Lilith called out, breaking free from her binds and quickly flying up to the tall figure with a thankful smile.

Jedah ignored the succubus as he eyed Ranma curiously. "Very interesting, I never really believed that my only remaining family would be a human hybrid… hmm… and a powerful one at that." He turned his attention to Dante, "Hm, this is quite a pleasant surprise… one of Sparda's blood… a hybrid as well…"

Dante's eyebrow shot up as he asked, "Jedah? You mean to tell me that you're the one most demons I've come across feared?" he asked incredulously, "You certainly don't look like it." Truth be told, he really wanted to say that he could kick this demon's ass to hell and back with one hand tied behind his back.

"Ah, underestimating your fellow demon, that's something you should not do." Jedah replied with a chuckle. He turned back to Ranma and stared directly into his eyes, "Enough of that, I am truly sorry if my servant proved to be of such annoyance. I promise that she will be dealt with soon enough but at the moment, I have something to discuss with you, my descendant. Will you come with me to my castle? Of course you can come too, Sparda's son."

Ranma stared expressionlessly at the man in front of him, before shrugging his shoulders and walking towards the large group, not minding the fact that Lilith was practically shouting curses at him. Jedah raised an arm and muttered a few words before a pillar of light appeared above them.

Jedah frowned when he noticed that Dante just stood in place, and from the looks of it, he had no intention of joining them, "I see that you do not want to join us. That's a pity, but if that is your decision, so be it. A word of advice Sparda's son, never underestimate your opponents. The demons and humans in this place are much more powerful than those on Ningenkai and Makai… no matter what they look like."

Dante watched, as the entire group disappeared in a pillar of light, leaving him alone in that part of the realm, "Heh, that went well."

The group arrived inside Dohma Castle, Cathedral was more like it. It had beautifully carpeted floors, stained glass windows, and candlelight seemed to be the only thing lighting up the place. Jedah raised a hand and the drones quickly left the castle, leaving only him, Q-bee, Lilith and Ranma. The four walked up the stairs, with Q-bee and Jedah leading them while Ranma was not too far behind, and Lilith was flying behind the hybrid, a cute pout was on her face.

Lilith pouted when Ranma didn't react to her poke in the ribs. She doesn't know what to think about her situation. Part of her rejoiced that she was back in Majigen, where Jedah and Q-bee would surely protect her from harm, but another part of her wanted to at least be on good terms with a certain hybrid. She really couldn't explain it, but she guessed she'd grown fond of the young man. There was just something about him that made her regret keeping secrets from him. She guessed that Dante felt the same thing, only he was very frank to Ranma about everything since they met, which would explain the high amount of trust he easily got from the hybrid.

"Ne, Lilith…" Ranma whispered, catching the succubus' attention, "You said that your other half had the same aura as yours right?" Seeing a nod, Ranma continued, "Well, guess what? She's here, just about a few miles southwest of the castle. You should probably go to her right now because I think she's sleeping."

Lilith couldn't believe her ears. Had she heard him right? Morrigan was here in Majigen?! Wait… did he just kept his word after all that has happened? Why? "What did you say?" she whispered.

"I said she's here," Ranma muttered, looking at her over his shoulder, "Well, go to her already. That's what you always wanted, ne?"

"But… who brought her here?"

"I did of course," Jedah answered, eyeing Ranma a little more than Lilith, "I brought that succubus here because I never lied about helping you find her. I always keep my word, Lilith." Ranma could swear he heard some amusement in Jedah's voice as he finished.

The young succubus flinched. Yeah, rub it in, why don't you? Stupid link. "T-Thank you, Master…"

"I ask you to not go outside at the moment, for you'll surely be a prime target for the rest of the Darkstalkers roaming around, Demitri and those two Dark Hunters in particular." Jedah's face contorted in pain for a second, "Don't worry Lilith, I'm sure that succubus will make it to this place, after all, she is the master of the Aensland family." Another pause, another pained face, "I have to go. Lilith, show the young man around the castle for now, I'll speak to the two of you in a little while."

Ranma watched as Jedah and Q-bee went inside a large room. Weird, what was up with the faces? That bee was very concerned for his ancestor too, was he sick or something? Eh, like he cared. Besides, he had other things to do at the moment. "Well," he chuckled, turning to a shaky Lilith, "My ancestor told you to show me around so… let's go, shall we?"

"Yes…"

"By the way, are there any fire pits inside the castle?"

"Oh, shut up."

Inside Jedah's chambers, Q-bee looked at his master with sad eyes as she placed a hand on his shoulder. "Master Jedah…" she whispered softly.

Jedah was wide-eyed as he went down on his knees and gasped for breath. His demonic heart was aching, which could only mean one thing, the miserable future of Makai that he had foreseen long ago was starting. He absently buried his fingers to the ground, breaking the hard concrete easily. Jedah spat out blue blood as he felt yet another pain in his heart, "I'm running out of time… I must assimilate it as soon as possible…"

Back in Makai, three days have passed since that horrible tragedy, and the armies of Mukuro and Raizen were now assembled together. Yomi surprisingly stepped down as one of the three rulers, saying that since his land, his home, and his people were gone, his title as ruler should disappear as well. He left Mukuro's domain and was now headed back to his land to think about certain things, the puzzling part of it all was that he was practically screaming for vengeance a few days ago.

Mukuro eyed her generals with a critical eye. They were nowhere near her level of power, but their experience and their techniques should shorten that gap a little. She twitched when she heard laughing from her side. 'Never underestimate him he says, look what he's doing right now… the idiot.'

Where Mukuro was training her men, Raizen was quite the opposite. He was sharing a drink with his most powerful comrades, completely ignoring the looks they were getting from Mukuro's army as they drank. There was no need to measure his comrades' abilities. They were doing a good job in keeping their true powers hidden anyway so he guessed that the sneers and the disgusted looks his comrades were getting from Mukuro's army was a result of that. It wasn't like they cared about what they think, they were just weaklings in their eyes after all.

To be honest, he was more concerned about a certain, green-haired woman that had attached herself to his arm. She was called the drunken demoness, Koko. He sighed every now and then. Koko hadn't dropped her feelings for him even after all this time, even when she already married one of his comrades, the demonic powerhouse Enki. Enki was of no help, oh by the demon's hand, he was even the one that was doing the teasing. He sighed. He guessed some things never change.

"Raizen…"

Thank you, somebody did care. "Mukuro, is your army ready?"

"Ah! Who -hick- cares 'bout that?! Moko-chan! Long -hick- time no -hick- see!!!!" Koko yelled, releasing her hold on Raizen and yanking at Mukuro's arm instead. "Come on, have a -hick- drink for ol' times sake!"

"Eh? Koko, there is a war going on here. We don't have time for gaaaaameeessss!!!"

Raizen smirked. Some things really don't change, like Koko hugging and swinging Mukuro for all she's worth.

Yomi sighed sadly as he walked down the desolate road leading to the city ruins. Three days had passed but he still couldn't stop blaming himself for this tragedy. He had ignored the city defenses and concentrated on making powerful weapons for his army instead. Now, he had no more followers, and no more army, he had nothing.

He loved his people, but heh, he guessed he was 'blinded' with power. He wanted to have Makai all to himself, trying to justify himself by saying that he was doing it for his people, yet in his heart, he knew that they were the ones that were suffering every time his army clashed against Mukuro's or Raizen's army.

He chuckled mirthlessly as he arrived at the center of the city… the graveyard of his people. "You were right old friend… you were right…" he muttered, smiling sadly at the countless number of graves in front of him. His smiled turned into a frown when he sensed a lot of movement underneath him, "What in blazes?!"

Around fifteen to twenty Kamui golems rose from the graveyard, howling wildly when they saw the former ruler of the land. Yomi took a step back as he tried to sense their powers, only to come up with absolutely nothing. He snarled and snapped his head up, "How dare you desecrate the graves of my people?! Just what kind of abominations are you?!"

"Abominations you say? It is kind of ironic to hear a ruler of Makai say such things."

Yomi turned to his side and tried to sense the source of the dark voice. It was a woman, yes, but he could tell that this demoness was different from anything he had ever faced, and he knew that Raizen and Mukuro would say the same thing. "Show yourself, demon!!!"

The woman chuckled darkly, "As you wish."

A tall, dark-haired woman dressed in very revealing clothing came into view. Her eyes were blood-red and slitted, her ears were pointed, a horn was present on her forehead, and her face, her arms, and her long legs had the exact same mark as that of Ranma's. She pursed her lips as she looked down at Yomi in amusement, "Here I am, oh mighty ruler, how can I be of service?"

"Who are you?!"

"I am Fata-Morgana…" she answered, her amused look suddenly turned serious, "And you, my dear Yomi, are among the first ones to have known of our return to this wretched realm… and we can't have you telling Raizen and Mukuro about us, not yet," She turned around and snapped her fingers with a dark smile. "Kill him, my beautiful pets."

Almost instantly, the Kamui golems howled and rushed at Yomi with their appendages and massive arms. Yomi gritted his teeth as he went into his stance. His legs were spread, one hand palm up, the other was a closed fist near his waist. A youki barrier formed around him as he started to gather his own energy. 'I have nothing to live for… I might as well die fighting.'

"Come on!!!"

Back in Ningenkai, Urameshi Yusuke walked out of the home of a former Reikai Tantei, Kuroko Sutou. He just found out that this woman was the partner of that bitch, if you could call it a partnership, Kuroko said that Nodoka was always diving into missions without her. She said that it was the main reason why Nodoka was raped. The woman simply didn't wait for her when the mission was given. He shrugged at that, guessed she simply had that one coming.

Be that as it may, he had other things on his mind right now, like these monks that were walking ahead of him. A youkai if he ever saw one, their stench alone reeked of human flesh. The puzzling part was that they didn't seem all that powerful, yet he had the impression that they were very confident that they could take him out if necessary… yeah right! "So, what do you guys really want? I'm sure that you didn't come here to just annoy me… you'd have to have a death wish for that one. So, spill it already."

The shortest of the three bald monks stepped forward, staring directly into the hybrid's eyes. "As I have already told you inside the house, Makai is currently at war against powerful soul stealers…"

"Get to the damn point already! What does this crap has to do with me?"

"My apologies, I have not introduced myself yet. I am Hokushin, and your ancestor, the Wargod Raizen, wants you to come to Makai as soon as possible."

"So… Mukuro sent this to you?"

"Yeah, that's the second one this week, and the second messenger I had to kill… it's getting rather annoying."

Kurama chuckled lightly. He guessed that Mukuro's messengers must really be such a nuisance for Hiei to just kill them like that. He was curious though. Hiei said that this message orb in his hand was for him, not for Hiei himself. Odd, never in a million years had he thought about getting the attention of one of the three rulers. What made it more puzzling was the way it was delivered. Hiei said that the messenger was freaked out, saying something about bees after him. Oh well, might as well see what the masked demon wants from him. He tossed the orb to a wall, instantly shattering it. A shadow quickly formed afterwards.

"Greetings, Youko Kurama. I am one of the three rulers of Makai, Mukuro. I assume that you are the one seeing this? I can never be too sure if Hiei was the one that delivered this to you. Hiei, if you are listening, I would guess that you had your fun in killing yet another one of my men?"

Kurama snickered.

Hiei just crossed his arms and muttered a 'hmph'.

"To the point, I ask that both you and Hiei come to my domain. Things have changed drastically in this realm during the past few days. Makai is now at war against thousands upon thousands of soul stealers, and we rulers need all the help we can get, we do not want to underestimate their power ever again. I truly believe that your powers would help our chances in fighting them.

Kurama, it is my understanding that you knew one of the rulers, the blind demon Yomi, correct? His land and his people were recently destroyed by these soul stealers, no one survived that massacre. Yomi was at my place at the time it happened so he was fortunate… if you could call it that. Well then, I believe I have said all that I needed to say, and I hope that you and Hiei would accept my invitation even under the direst of circumstances."

The shadow vanished, leaving a very silent Kurama and a frowning Hiei to ponder over her words. The two stood there for awhile, until Hiei scoffed and began to walk away.

"What are you going to do?"

Hiei looked at Kurama over his shoulder and smirked, "Heh."

Ranma and Lilith were inside the succubus' quarters, taking a breather after a few hours of roaming around the castle. At the moment, Ranma was sitting on an antique chair with a small pout while Lilith was messing with his long hair with a cheerful smile. You couldn't blame the girl though, when she asked if he held any grudges against her and if he really was going to drop her into that pit, he quickly said no and then he said to just forget it. Since then, he acted as if it never happened. She felt great after that, not because of what he said, it was because of the way he said it, pure, sweet, naïve innocence, that was the one she had grown fond off since they met.

Ranma shifted on his chair, "I know I already asked this a dozen times but what exactly are you doing again?"

"I'm tying your hair, silly." Lilith grinned, "I haven't told you this before but you look absolutely hideous with that hair style, that's why I'm doing your hair. Now, sit still! Just a few more seconds… there! All done!"

Blink. Blink. Blink. Blink. "What in the… pigtail? Why a pigtail? I don't want this! I look like an idiot with this thing!"

"Oh shush, I think you look good with it." Lilith gave him a peck on the cheek while wrapping her arms around his beautiful neck, "Oh, don't even try removing it, it's next to impossible. That string was made from my hair, so it will not loosen up unless I will it to, and threatening me about it will only strengthen its hold," she whispered into his ear.

Ranma simply sat there with a small scowl, completely ignoring anything and everything as he looked at himself through a mirror. Try as he might, he simply couldn't get it out of his head. He looked like a wuss, a weakling, and a pushover with this stupid pigtail. And he can't remove it?! He sure wished that Dante was here so that somebody would just shoot him in the head and put him out of his misery. It was odd though, he was feeling really good rather than the opposite. Why was that… the hell?!

Lilith, still behind the pigtailed teen, was gently kissing Ranma on the side of his neck as her hands slowly glided around his chest. Ranma tried to resist her advances, but he found out that his body was almost numb, plus he himself felt like giving into his own lust, he was even on the verge of moaning for crying out loud! Just how long had she been kissing him? Curse that succubus lust effect… can't… control…

Ranma found himself locked in a deep, passionate kiss with the succubus. What surprised them both was that Ranma was the one that pulled Lilith in for a kiss instead of the other way around. Well, it wasn't like either one cared about such things anymore.

Lilith smiled, broke the kiss and gently placed a finger on his lips. She stared lustfully at Ranma as she sat on his lap. Her smiled widened when Ranma's energy-induced clothes vanished, replacing it with just his regular clothes which comprised of a tattered black leather jacket, loose dark blue shirt, black pants and shoes. She quickly removed his jacket then she practically ripped open his shirt.

She looked up and smiled when she heard him moan softly. He wasn't resisting it anymore, this should be fun! Lilith gave off a mischievous giggle, playtime was over! That was what she wanted to say, but when she caught sight of a certain, tall figure standing on the side, she quickly placed those thoughts down the drain. "Master Jedah!!!"

Jedah smiled with his arms crossed as the two frantically tried to gather themselves. "Did I come at a bad time? Shall I come back later?" he asked, feigning ignorance.

"No, that's not necessary, Master Jedah," Lilith quickly answered, straightening herself up. What she really wanted to say was, 'Really great timing, master...'

Ranma on the other hand, gave his ancestor a very thankful look, but he quickly hid it before anyone else saw it, namely Lilith. He looked down and sighed, well, so much for his normal clothes. He closed his eyes, summoning his energy-induced clothes and dusting them off slightly when he was able to move freely again. "Is it time for our talk?"

"Yes, if you would follow me to my chambers please."

Q-bee blinked when a smirking Jedah and two madly blushing demons entered the master chambers. "Okay… what happened?"

"Nothing happened!"

"Mind your own business, Q-bee!"

Jedah laughed while Q-bee had a much more puzzled look than before, then, the master of the castle coughed to get their attention. "Ranma, was it? I can see that for a hybrid, you are quite powerful. I can also tell that you had your fair share of assimilation. Straight to the point… that is why I am asking you to join us, join me in my mission to save the realm of Makai. I am quite sure that with our combined assimilation powers, the task at hand will be fairly easy."

Lilith glanced nervously at the teen. 'Bloodlust… his bloodlust is growing!'

Jedah frowned, Q-bee flew behind her master and eyed the teen warily, and Lilith slowly inched away from Ranma when he suddenly started laughing like a madman. Energy swirled around him, and his territorial red blobs appeared all over the room. He snapped his head and glared fiercely at Jedah.

"You seem to be forgetting something," Ranma started, hands glowing with Sei Kou Ki, "I hate my father and the rest of the Dohma family just as much as I hate my mother, in short, I hate you…"

Lilith slapped her head. That stupid idiot! Saying that to Jedah was just like committing suicide! Oh my, a scowl was already present on Q-bee's face, and she looked like she was more than willing to call in around a hundred drones to mutilate the teen for that uncouth response. The only thing keeping Q-bee from doing so was Jedah himself. He was chuckling softly, and a real smile was on his face instead of the sick and twisted one he usually had. 'Now that I thought about it, Ranma had similar habits before… it must run in the family.'

"You truly are a puzzle," the former ruler started, "If I didn't know better, I think that you have multiple personalities but… seeing that your aura never changes, that theory's definitely out of the question."

"Heh, my brother was the one with personality problems, though I really don't see any problems with them, they were all nice to me."

Jedah chuckled, "I see… well then, since you do not want to help us achieve our goal, I would assume that you want to return to Makai?"

Ranma smiled, held up a hand, and laughed maniacally once more, "You didn't let me finish, ancestor," he sneered the last part out, "Yes, I do hate you and your family… but… I am not blind. I can see that you can help me with a few things as well. Heheh, to put it simply, you want my power, I want something in return."

"Hmm… and what, may I ask, might that be?"

"I'll help you in whatever plans you have in mind…" Ranma's smile turned into a cold one, "In return… I want you, and your army to help me destroy Ningenkai."

AN: I actually had this one done long before chapter 5 but the file got lost so I had to write it up again from scratch, sorry about that. Just a filler really that focused on the 'meeting' of the toughest Darkstalkers and the introduction of the temptress, Fata-Morgana. Next one is where the story moves on. Well, till next, Ja!

Next: Evil Realm Majigen II: Assimilation of Makai

Morrigan smiled, "My, my, this is interesting, a fellow succubus for an opponent…"

"The name's Lilith… and you have something that belongs to me, my goody-goody sister."
