"Oh? Interesting proposal indeed…" Jedah mused, "I suppose that it is acceptable… however, can I know the reason as to why you would take such rather direct actions against the human race, fully knowing that you would have to deal with the forces of Reikai first?"

Ranma had a distant look as he gazed outside, "I just don't think that they deserve to live after all the things that they have done in the past… and the things that they will do in the future. Don't get me wrong, I have quite a number of human friends in the past, but I fear that they too, shall be influenced by other humans in the future…"

Jedah's curiosity was really piqued now, "Care to elaborate?"

"Black List Tape… a compilation of humanity's sins throughout the years…" Ranma said with clenched fists, "It also shows the sins of the humans against defenseless, harmless demons…"

Q-bee and Jedah understood immediately as they nodded seriously, though there was a look of disappointment on Jedah's part that did not go unnoticed. Lilith on the other hand, just stared dumbly at the pigtailed boy. She had absolutely no idea what he meant by that last part, but she knew, from the look on his face, he was dead serious about destroying Ningenkai and possibly Reikai, should they interfere.

"I see where you're getting at, and I am beginning to understand you a lot more now that you have explained your side. However the decision would have to come from Q-bee, not me, it is her tribe after all."

Ranma looked stoically at the hovering Q-bee, who was looking back at him with a sad smile before giving off an affirmative, though hesitant buzz. Lilith simply watched the interchange with a much more confused look.

Jedah went back to his calm facade, "That settles it then. Once you help me in assimilating an extremely powerful energy source, we will then help you in your mission to destroy Ningenkai."

Dark Ascension

By Insane Blight

The Evil Realm Majigen II: Assimilation of Makai

Fata-Morgana walked down the huge tunnel created by the Kamui golems underneath Yomi's domain. "What imbeciles, they were the ones doing the desecrating when they build their city above the resting place of two of Makai's most powerful treasures."

She smiled when she arrived and spotted a set of gigantic metal doors at the end. She still can't believe that it had remained untouched after all these years. She moaned as she slowly and gracefully lifted her arms up high, which was followed by several dark swirling mass of energy, then, the temptress began to sing. A short hymn, beautiful yet deadly, the crumbling, magically sealed, gigantic metal door in front of her was proof of that.

Brushing her hair to the side, she casually stepped inside with a smile, where a huge crypt was kept enshrined. The one she first laid eyes on were the two caskets directly in front of her. Like the metal doors, she could sense that a powerful seal was placed on them, and she knew exactly who, or rather what were sealed inside those caskets. She then focused her attention on the stairs leading to a small altar, she almost hurled when she gazed at the glowing, black cross hanging on the wall in front of the altar, "Ugh, I hate religious types. Hmph, it's a good thing they're sealed for all eternity."

Slowly, she worked her way through the crypt, taking care so as not to disturb something that wasn't on her plan, specifically the sealed caskets. She sighed in relief when she finally reached the top of the stairs, where she could see that an oddly-shaped sword was lying on the altar. Grabbing the sword with practiced ease, she lifted it up and stared at it in total admiration, "Legendary Sword Kisin… ah it's been so long since I last saw this blade," she paused when she noticed that there was only one sword on the altar instead of two, "What? Where is the other Legendary Sword? The Legendary Sword Spa…"

She tensed up when the casket behind her suddenly exploded to pieces. Impossible, they were sealed for eternity, weren't they? Her eyes narrowed when a Kamui head rolled to her side, but a small smile surprisingly came to her lips, getting the Legendary Swords was going to be a lot more interesting than she first thought.

Back in Reikai, Botan sighed in relief when she finally got out of Enma-Daioh's chambers. Koenma better thank her for this! Speaking to Enma-Daioh on his behalf was NOT an easy thing to do, especially when Enma-Daioh's anger was building up with each passing day. Oh, she could just imagine the amount of paperwork Koenma would have to go through when he returned.

It was a good thing she had been hanging out with Yukina these past few days, or else she would've personally dragged Mr. Pretty Boy to Reikai by now. She knew that Koenma was doing this act of defiance to protest about his father's order of killing Yusuke simply because of his demonic heritage, but she also knew that Enma-Daioh was just doing what he thought was best for Ningenkai, no matter how painful it was to the parties involved. Family problems seemed to be the only thing going around these days, a certain ex-tantei and her demonic child to be precise.

Botan absently rubbed the bruise on her hand, wincing involuntarily when she remembered a crazed Nodoka throwing that lamp towards her and Ayame. Bad enough Nodoka was too strong for her own good, but she also charged that darn lamp with reiki, thus the bruise on her hand. Well, it wasn't like she didn't deserve it, she was the one who accidentally blabbered Ranma's name in front of Nodoka, making the ex-tantei lose it like that.

Shaking her head, she turned around and was about to fly back to Ningenkai when she noticed something odd going on to her side. She blinked twice and had to rub her eyes several times when she saw dust clouds, mounds and mounds of dust clouds that were coming her way at high speed. Narrowing her eyes, Botan tried to look past the dust clouds and blinked again when the one causing those clouds was Koenma's slave, er, assistant, Jorge, whom she now knew was headed for Enma-Daioh's private chambers.

"Wait up Jorge!" Botan shouted, yanking at his shirt, thus forcing him to stop in his tracks, "What's the rush? Don't tell me Koenma sent you here to beg to his father too?" she joked, but she froze when she saw the panicked look in his eyes.

"M-M-M-Meikai… Meikai is active again!!!"

Somewhere in Majigen, Dante was having the time of his life. He couldn't remember when was the last time he was having so much fun in fighting someone, especially a demon. He jumped up, and then thrust his sword downward, sending arcs of electricity around him as it struck the ground, but his attack was proven to be ineffective when his adversary just charged right through it, sending him flying back with a hard shoulder tackle.

"Awooooo!"

The Devil Hunter snarled as he flipped back up, damn that werewolf was strong! He smirked as he charged right back at his opponent with his fists instead of his sword.

Talbain was also having the time of his life in fighting the Devil Hunter. They had met just after he had regained consciousness, and surprisingly, the Devil Hunter did not attack him at all, saying that he had no intention on challenging those who were in no condition to fight. As much as he wanted to prove him wrong, his body simply didn't agree with him. It was quite understandable though, he had just barely escaped from that crazy red-hooded girl, what the hell was she doing with a friggin' rocket launcher anyway?!

In any case, they pretty much talked for hours, mostly about their past experiences. By the time his wounds healed up, neither one had the heart to fight the other with the intent to kill, so instead, they agreed to fight the other to test their abilities and limitations, a sparring match of sorts.

The werewolf blocked Dante's intended uppercut, but the force the Hunter placed on it was so much that it sent him off his feet. He backflipped and landed in a crouching position before tackling Dante with his shoulder once more. This time however, the Devil Hunter blocked his attack and countered it by grabbing and mashing his face to the floor. He growled and swiftly kicked Dante on the face, forcing him to let go of his hold. Both fighters leapt back, smiling as they eyed each other, this was going to be one long fight!

"Are you okay now?"

"Thank you Felicia, I do feel a little better now."

Felicia and Morrigan were walking towards the now visible Dohma Castle. Morrigan couldn't stand up on her own yet though, so she had an arm wrapped around her friend's neck for support. The succubus was silent for the most part, wondering what might have caused her to pass out like that. She knew it was that annoyance in her head, but it never did that to her before, could that mean that the source of the voice was near? If it was, then she couldn't wait to meet this nuisance and perhaps end its pestering once and for all.

Her thoughts were cut short when she noticed that a dark, though familiar figure was blocking their way. Felicia hissed loudly, revealing her fangs and her claws as she looked at the man while Morrigan simply cursed out loud, of all the time in the world, he just had to show up when she couldn't even defend herself. She looked up at the figure with a glare and snarled, "Demitri…"

Dark aura flared around the vampire lord as he walked towards the two women with an evil smirk, "I've been waiting quite a long time for this day, my dear Morrigan Aensland. Hard to get is really a tiresome game, and it really doesn't suit higher nobles such as ourselves." He stopped walking and simply stared lustfully at the succubus, "This time, you will not escape… this time… I shall make you mine."

"Huh? Is that you damphy?" 'Shoot… some competition…'

Donovan and Lei-Lei looked to the side and saw Bulleta, in her 'innocent mode'. Lei-Lei just looked curiously at the red-hooded girl, trying to figure out where she had met her. Donovan however, tensed up. He and Bulleta never really got along with each other as fellow Dark Hunters, but that was mostly because of his cursed demon blood, that girl simply hates demons with a passion, be they half-breeds or full blood.

Unlike him and Lei-Lei, Bulleta mostly did her job for the money. The red-hooded girl thrived on killing Darkstalkers for several rich clients like that shady businessman Sakyo, and perhaps for her own sick pleasure. The other thing that made him very uncomfortable around her was her obsession with firearms. Yes, the Hunter's Guild required all Dark Hunters to have a weapon of their choice but Bulleta took it to heart. That girl had quite a collection, all of her guns were customized to her liking, and he could tell that she was carrying a few of her favorites inside her basket right now.

"Bulleta, you were sent here too?"

"Duh! What do you think damphy?"

Donovan remained unfazed, "From the blood on your clothes and on your face, I see that you have encountered and killed a few Darkstalkers already."

Bulleta blinked, before clasping her hands together and smiling sweetly, "Oh my, yes, I already have quite a collection of body parts and insides to sell to the clients! I'll be filthy, stinkin' rich when we get back to Ningenkai! A girl has to make a living you know!"

"IF we get back to Ningenkai," Donovan said, trying to hide his disgust when she mentioned body parts.

"What do you mean by that, damphy?"

"Bulleta, stop and think for a moment. Do you know what place this is or where it is located? I know for a fact that we are not in Ningenkai anymore and I most certainly know that this is not Makai either. Do you have any idea how to get back home?"

"Damn," Bulleta muttered, she never thought of that. "Okay… do you have any ideas, Donovan?"

Donovan smiled slightly, he knew that she was serious now, calling him by his name was proof of that, and about time too. "Whoever sent us here made a huge mistake by leaving his energy signature…" he trailed off.

The red-hooded girl smiled evilly, "In other words, you can track him down."

"Yes."

Bulleta pouted for a moment, rubbed her temples, and gave off a frustrated sigh, "Alright. Even though I don't like you, I have no choice but to work with you to track down this moron so I can go home and collect my bounty."

The damphir sighed back, "That's all I ask."

"Lilith may have told you this already, but I'll explain it again just to be sure. We are in Majigen, my very own realm created right in the center of the dormant volcano, Gilala Gila. I made the dimension inside the volcano because of two things. One, no demon ever comes to Gilala Gila, unless they want to commit suicide, so basically it became the perfect hideaway until I have gained enough strength to do my mission. And two, it was because of the three secret Gates it had inside of it…"

Ranma looked at his ancestor curiously, "Gates?"

Jedah didn't answer him, instead, he held up a hand and a portal suddenly appeared in front of them. He motioned for his descendant to join him before stepping into the swirling mass of energy. Muttering a few choice words, the pigtailed boy sighed and reluctantly followed his ancestor into the portal. He blinked when he suddenly found himself looking down at hot lava.

"Over here, Ranma," Jedah said from the side, motioning for his descendant to join him.

Ranma shrugged and flew towards his ancestor, but he stopped and hovered in midair when he noticed three dimensional tunnels, dimensional tunnels that looked a lot like the Makai tunnel in Irima Cave.

"These are the three secret Gates of Makai. From what my servant has told me, you came from the dimensional tunnel that Reikai sealed long ago, correct?" Jedah smiled when Ranma nodded dumbly. "It's very similar to that, but these dimensional Gates are only known to a select few, not even Reikai know of their existence."

"That's great and all but where do these tunnels lead? Don't tell me they all lead to Ningenkai, because that won't make any sense."

Jedah chuckled, "Quite so, quite so. To answer your questions, the left tunnel leads to Ningenkai, the right tunnel leads to a quick death because it leads to Meikai. It is a quick death because that realm has been destroyed so many years ago, so you'll actually feel like you're in Limbo when you use that tunnel."

The pigtailed boy laughed, "You make it sound like you actually tried it yourself!" His laughter died when Jedah just looked back at him with that emotionless mask. He turned serious, then continued. "So… where does the last one lead to?"

"…I honestly have no idea."

"What?"

Jedah sighed, "This middle tunnel has been a mystery ever since these tunnels were discovered thousands of years ago. We higher nobles sent numerous servants into the tunnel but they never returned. When they stepped into that tunnel, it was like their entire existence vanished, never to be heard from ever again. As the years go by, most of us just thought of it as a convenient way of getting rid of nuisances."

Both went silent for a long while, until Ranma asked, "What do these Gates have to do with your intended energy assimilation though?"

"I'm glad you brought it up. You see, my former confidant, Ozom, discovered that these three Gates hold a tremendous amount of power, so much power that it surpasses the dimensional tunnel you went through tenfold. I can see that you have a lot of questions to ask, but hear me out first. My untimely death hundreds of years ago was due to Ozom's betrayal.

My plan was to gain enough power to rid the realm of Berial Aensland and Galnan Voshtal. Selfish reasons, don't you think? Yes, of course, most people saw it that way, but what they didn't know was that those two were keeping quite a number of dangerous secrets inside their castles. Fortunately, I accidentally stumbled upon some of those secrets, but it was already too late. Aensland and Voshtal's mistakes were beginning to consume the realm of Makai, and it was up to me to stop it for those two became considerably ill a few days after my discovery.

My confidant at the time, Ozom, suggested that I try to assimilate the energy from the dimensional tunnel that you used to get here. It seemed to be the most logical solution at the time, gather a large amount of power and then use it to seal those dark secrets forever. It should have worked, but Ozom's greed got the better of him. He wanted my position, he wanted to be a ruler of Makai so he secretly placed a seal around the tunnel and it will be activated once I begin my assimilation of the tunnel.

I fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. I trusted him so much that I never even thought of him betraying me. I had no chance of escaping once I entered that tunnel, but as luck would have it, Ozom didn't seem to know my true strength, that's why I was still able to assimilate just enough energy so I could reconstruct myself after I die…"

Ranma blinked, "Reconstruct?"

Jedah smiled at him, "One of our family's abilities, though I highly doubt that you have such an ability considering your human side. Anyway, here," he said as he held up a hand and Ranma could clearly see that his ancestor's skin was made of liquid, much to his shock. "My body is made up of liquid, like most of the Dohma family. I have the ability to regenerate even when my body is destroyed in some way. After several years, I was able to pull myself back together… literally. Once I had recovered, I sought out Ozom, but it turned out that he received the same illness that plagued both Berial and Galnan and he died shortly thereafter."

The pigtailed hybrid frowned, "What happened to the secrets that you were taking about? You didn't seal them so what happened to them?"

"That one… I read it from Galnan's old journal. He, along with Berial, was planning on sealing those mistakes from the past, even at the cost of their lives. They must've succeeded because I could not feel their presence anymore. However, it was only temporary, for each day that passes, I would sense a small, barely noticeable dark energy seeping out of the seal, and that was when I knew I had to continue my plan… and here we are now…"

Once again, silence ensued, both lost in their own thoughts. The two remained that way until Jedah sighed, turned around, and was headed back to the portal.

Ranma took one last look at the three dimensional tunnels before turning and following his ancestor, "By the way, I couldn't help but notice the disappointed look you gave me when I told you about the Black List Tape. Can I know the reason that led to that kind of reaction?"

Jedah froze in midstep, looked up with a sigh, and closed his eyes, "I have only one thing to say to you in regards to that, my descendant, you may choose to heed it or not," he began, gazing intently at his hand, "There is no such thing as good or evil in this trivial world. Those you say such things are nothing more than fools, fools who are doomed for all eternity for betraying the truth."

Before Ranma could even respond, the ground began to shake violently, forcing the lava to flow out of the center. The pigtailed boy was soon struck by several large rocks from behind, sending him crashing down to the ground and burying him in them while Jedah snapped his head up as he clutched his demonic chest in pain.

"Grr… the three rulers…" he said through gritted teeth.

Mukuro thrust her hand forward, signaling another wave of attack, "Fire!!!"

Another barrage of cannon blasts and energy bursts rained down on the dormant volcano, virtually leveling the exterior of the volcano, as well as its surrounding area when the blasts hit. That was as far as they could go when thousands of bee drones flew out of the mouth of the volcano and swooped in for their counterattack of soul energy bursts, instantly killing hundreds of demons in Mukuro's army.

However, Mukuro had already anticipated this, so she held up her arm and her dimensional prison appeared into plain view, a circular prison that surrounded the entire dormant volcano Gilala Gila, trapping the bee drones inside of it. She couldn't help but smile cruelly when the most of the drones simply tried to push right through it, her cruel smile widened when the drones did manage to get out of the prison, but in several little pieces.

Her moment of triumph was suddenly put to a crashing halt when her barrier surprisingly shattered, pretty much knocking most of her army off their feet from the shockwave it produced. She snapped her head up and saw the former ruler looking down on them with a very intimidating glare. She involuntarily took a step back but she quickly composed herself. Glancing to her side, she looked at one of her generals and growled out, "Shigure! Take his head off!!!"

Shigure smirked, crouching low and drawing back his arm, along with his weapon, "Heh, with pleasure!"

With Shigure throwing the circular weapon at exceptional speed, Jedah didn't know what hit him. It did work, but not the way Mukuro and Shigure wanted. The weapon was buried into Jedah's chest, nearly splitting him in two, but there was a twisted smile on the former ruler's face that sent shivers down the spines of Mukuro's army, and it was for a very damn good reason too.

"Heeeeeeeeeeehaahaahaahaahaaahaaahaaaaa!!!" he laughed as he pulled the weapon out of his body. He then smirked when he noticed the shocked look on Mukuro's face when his body immediately regenerated. Gazing at the weapon in his hand, he smirked evilly and charged it with an insane amount of youki, right before throwing it back at Mukuro's army. Jedah gave Mukuro one last twisted smile before going back inside the volcano.

Next thing Mukuro knew, screams of her men rang through the entire area, as the dark-powered circular blade homed in on all of them in an attempt to cut them in half either by cutting their heads off or their torsos. Either way, it was clear that it will not stop until it kills all those who opposed the former ruler.

"Shigure, Kiri! Stop that weapon! The rest of you, keep attacking Gilala Gila! Let's finish these Soul Stealers once and for all!!!"

Jedah snarled as he deflected several energy blasts that managed to get inside the volcano. The portal to Majigen was still there so Q-bee managed to get out of the dimensional realm and fly to her master's side.

'At this rate, all three dimensional tunnels will be destroyed…' "Of all the possible times… O-bee! Spread them all out! We don't stand a chance if that woman uses that dimensional prison again!"

Q-bee nodded hurriedly, "Yes, at once."

Outside Gilala Gila, Raizen smirked as he crushed the skulls of a pair of bee drones with his bare hands. He was frowning inwardly though. Like Mukuro's, his army was already suffering a lot of casualties yet the Soul Bee tribe was still unrelenting in their attacks, their numbers were simply too great. Plus add the fact that they seemed to be a lot more organized than ever before, their usage of complicated battle tactics being the prime example, he guessed it was because Dohma was the one in charge of them now.

He leapt up and blasted hundreds of drones with a huge energy blast, quickly turning them to dust. His attack continued until he felt a very familiar pain stab him in the stomach. He landed roughly on the ground and gritted his teeth in frustration as he clutched his stomach, not now, he didn't need this right now! Still grimacing in pain, he could only watch in dismay when more than a hundred drones were now making their way towards him. He wanted to shake his head and smile, heh… oh this was just great, death by bee stings.

"You ain't gonna lay yer hands on my Raizen!" Koko yelled, clapping her hands once and torching the bees from the flames that came out of it.

Now that the Wargod thought about it, dying by bee stings did indeed sound like a good idea.

Jedah gazed at his hands as he stood in front of the dimensional gates. With Mukuro's recent wave of attack, his descendant's unconscious form was unfortunately thrown back into the portal to Majigen right before it closed up, leaving only him and Q-bee inside the volcano. He could open another one, but what was the point in doing so? Ranma was still knocked out from those hard blows to the head, and time goes by slowly in Majigen. Besides, it wasn't like the three Gates could hold up for that much longer, not with the intensity behind the enemy attacks.

He sighed when he sensed the humanoid bee hover behind him, "Q-bee, order your army for one last bombardment of energy blasts, then retreat. Get out of Gilala Gila. Go back to your old home… I will not trouble your tribe ever again…"

The former ruler froze when Q-bee wrapped her arms around his waist from behind. He closed his eyes and gently held her hands when she buried her face on his back, as she slowly shook her head no. Irony truly was everywhere in this world. He once thought of her and her entire tribe as mere pawns in a game of life and death, but now, he cared for them as much as he cared for the family he had lost so many years ago.

'…So be it… I have no choice… I have to assimilate it as soon as possible, even if I have to do it by myself.'

"Come on, baby…"

Morrigan barely escaped Demitri's grasp as she took to the air. She and Demitri were slowly nearing Dohma Castle as they fought. Correction, Demitri fought, Morrigan just ran. Could you even blame her? Her head was still taking quite a pounding from that annoying voice, and her body was still weak from her lapse earlier, she couldn't even fly straight at the moment. She was lucky that Felicia was there to help her fight this arrogant vampire lord or else she would've fallen prey to him by now.

After a few more minutes dodging fireballs, Morrigan and Felicia finally arrived at the front door of Dohma Castle. They were lucky to make it this far, but alas, it had to come to an end, as Demitri was finally able to connect with one of his energy blasts, only it was Felicia who took the brunt of the attack. The cat-woman screamed as she was thrown back, crashing through the main door and through several walls inside the castle as well.

"Felicia!"

Demitri glided in front of the succubus, catching her off-guard, "Hm hm hm, now there are no more nuisances," he said with a smirk as he forcefully grabbed the weakened succubus by the arms, preventing any means of escape. He leaned in and opened his mouth to reveal his fangs, fangs that were more than ready to suck Morrigan's blood, "Now you're mine…"

Just then, a faint, mischievous giggle resonated within the castle walls, "Sleep, you pathetic vampire."

Demitri didn't know what hit him, as he suddenly found himself losing consciousness after feeling a sharp pain on his back. He was forced to release his hold on Morrigan as he slowly spun around to look at his attacker. He gritted his teeth from the pain on his back, but it was mostly because of his surprise when he finally got a good look at his attacker, it was but a mere purple-haired girl. "A child…? A child did this… to me…?" he muttered before falling to the ground, unconscious.

Lilith smiled smugly at Demitri's prone form and she even kicked him in the groin for good measure before turning and gazing at the person she had been searching for, her other half, Morrigan Aensland.

Morrigan frowned when she saw the glare Lilith was giving her. On the inside though, she was smiling widely because the voice in her head suddenly vanished and her strength was retuning to her. It didn't take her long to figure out that this little succubus in front of her was the one responsible for it. To put it simply, Lilith was basically the nuisance in her life. "From the look on your face… it would appear that you didn't come here to save me from that obsessed vampire after all." She shook her head and smiled, "My, this is truly interesting, a fellow succubus for an opponent."

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

Felicia grimaced in pain when she finally regained consciousness. She opened her eyes and gasped loudly when she found herself staring at a shiny little Uzi, "W-what?"

"You sleepy, you poor baby? Do you need one of my patented wake-up shots? Hee hee!"

"Bulleta, stop it, you very well know that she is an ally of the Hunters Guild. Do you want to make the Council mad? You could lose your membership… not to mention your personal belongings…" Donovan trailed off.

Bulleta twitched, before turning around and letting off a frustrated cry, "Damn it! Can't a girl shoot someone in cold blood anymore?!"

Felicia sighed in relief when the red-hooded girl placed her weapon inside the basket. She looked up and was even more relieved to see both Donovan and Lei-Lei, "You guys were sent here too? I thought that it was just me and… oh no… Morri-chan!" she yelled.

Donovan gently placed a hand on her shoulder, "She is fine Felicia. She is currently attending to some personal business as we speak," he replied cryptically.

Speaking of which…

"Soul Fist!"

"Soul Flash!"

Two soul energy attacks cancelled each other out, although it was quite clear that Lilith was tiring faster than her counterpart. Morrigan rushed in and slashed the younger succubus with her wings, sending her crashing down. Lilith forced herself back up, only to fall back on her knees as she bowed her head and gasped for breath. Morrigan smiled and dived down, thinking of delivering the final and decisive blow. What she didn't know was that the purple-haired girl had a knowing smile on her face as she patiently awaited her descent.

"Take this!"

"Ha ha! You fell for it!"

Just like Ranma's, Lilith's clothes disappeared and morphed into smaller bat familiars, leaving her naked as she jumped up and met her sister head-on.

Morrigan screamed as the seemingly endless number of energy-charged bats began to tear into her skin. Lilith finished off the attack with one large soul energy blast that struck Morrigan on her stomach, throwing her back from the force behind it and forcing her to go right through a concrete wall.

Lilith was about to go after her counterpart when she suddenly screamed as her body felt like it was being ripped in two. She looked down and her eyes widened in shock when she saw that her hands, along with her entire body, were becoming transparent, just like the entire Dohma Castle. "No! Majigen is collapsing! Master Jedah is dying… no! Not yet! Not when I'm so close!!!"

Ranma groaned as he started to come to. Being repeatedly struck by falling large stones AND extremely powerful wayward energy blasts was not a very nice thing to experience. He struggled to get back up to his feet, but when he did, he blinked when he saw a group of people looking at him with varied reactions.

One was a man who looked like a priest or a monk, especially with those beads. He was looking at him in the same manner as his ancestor, calm and composed. Beside the monk was a Chinese girl that had light blue skin, but the most noticeable part was the large metal claws she was wearing. The last one made him raise an inquisitive eyebrow, it was a girl who was doing a cheap imitation of the little red riding hood, complete with a basket and… a dog? What made it cheap was the fact that the girl had a crazed, downright maniacal look as she looked back at him.

He was about to ask who they were when another unfamiliar face walked into view, a certain someone that completely caught Ranma's complete and undivided attention. He took a small step forward, making the group tense up for an expected attack. However, they were not, in any way, shape or form, prepared for the pigtailed boy's real reaction…

"Neko-chan, kawaii!!!!!!" Ranma squealed, rushing towards the cat-woman.

Felicia blinked, "Miya?"

Glomp!

"Wha? Wha? Wha?"

Jedah flew in front of the three gates, his eyes cold and hard, but blood was trickling down his mouth. He screamed and placed his hands to his side as he began to assimilate the dimensional tunnels, sending huge streaks of energy around the area and causing one large earthquake that affected most of the realm.

Q-bee didn't just stand around though. She was using her soul stealing ability as a means to boost her master's strength. She was using all her remaining strength in absorbing the souls of the deceased demons outside and then channeling it to Jedah for his assimilation of the three Gates. In short, the more demons die from the war, the more powerful Jedah became.

She took a second to glance at her master and gasped, "M-Master! Maybe we should stop!"

Blood spilled everywhere as Jedah was slowly but surely being ripped apart by the tremendous force of the Gates. However, it did not deter the former ruler at all. Instead, he became even more determined each time his body would receive yet another injury, even though his wounds were not regenerating like before. "I have to do this, Q-bee… I already told you about the frightening power… of the scourges… I simply… cannot… allow them to… destroy Makai…"

Q-bee was on the verge of crying when she reluctantly nodded and resumed feeding her master with souls.

'Makai… I have to save… Makai…'

AN: Psycho Ranma loves cats, always has, always will. Why does he love them so much? It will be explained next chappie but I'm sure some of you could guess it already. Anyway, the Majigen arc will come to a close nest chapter, and all I can say is that the results of the war will be devastating to all parties involved. Well, till next, Ja!

Next: Evil Realm Majigen III: In His Footsteps
