Ranma X
Chapter 1
Ranma waved good bye to his mother as she left for home. He turned to
enter the Tendo home.
"Where are you going, Saotome?" Nabiki asked him as he head for the
stairs.
"I just going to rest awhile." Ranma responded as he headed for his
room. Ranma shut the door as he looked over his room. Waiting a few
minutes, he jumped out of his window and started roof hopping down
the street.
He had a good reason for lying, he told himself. His mother had been
acting strange. He cound'nt point to anything specfic, but last few
time he had seen her she had seemed troubled.
He had asked her what was wrong, but she brushed it off, rediecrting
him to his lastest adventure. Ranma was not deterred. NToday was the
day he was determined to find out what was troubling his mother, and
help her with whatever it was.
As he hopped along the roofs, he couldn't help but smile. Apparently
his danger sense was inherited more from his mother, then from
Genma.He saw Nodoka down on the street looking around nervously,
having to hide several times as her gaze turned to the roof tops.
"Hmm well I guess I have no choice." Ranma muttered as he pulled upon
his knowledge of Genma's forbidden techniques. Rendering himself
invisible to both the naked eye and chi sense.
Sure enough a few minutes later Nodoka stopped acting nervous and
went on her way in a much more easy manner, unaware of her tag along.
------------------------------------------------
Nodoka smiled as she felt the presence fade, the shadow on the
rooftop disappearing. Such a caring boy Ranma was. Apparently she had
managed to convince him that everything was alright and he had left.
Smiling Nodoka turned and headed down the street. It was for the best
really, Ranma shouldn't be involved in her world.Although she had
many powerful friends, she also had many powerful enemies.
-----------------------------------------------------
Ranma scratched his head in curiosity, still cloaked in the Goshin
Dai Ryü Sei Fu. This wasn't the way to his mother's house. His
curiosity enflamed even more, Ranma followed Nodoka into a rather old
looking building.
He blinked as she pushed aside a stone revealing a secret compartment
and placed the Saotome Honor sword inside, before sliding the stone
back.
While he was pondering why his mom would hide her sword like that,
things got really weird.
----------------
Nodoka turned to leave when suddenly the sound of scraping stone
reached her ears. Whirling around she watched the stone slab slide
back to reveal the Saotome sword, which suddenly quivered and floated
up into the air, unsheathing and gleaming in the receding sunlight.
"No....." Nodoka whispered, her eye's narrowing in anger.
"Such an interesting toy you have here, Mrs. Saotome. I beleieve that
you have somethings that I want." A dark voice called out from
nowhere.
Nodoka turned around and looked at her unwelcomed visitor."What do
you want Magneto?" She hissed.
"I have need of the data that you are keeping for Xavior. The names
and powers of the mutants of Japan." Magneto said. "Plus your
research into mutants might aid my plans."
"Never, I won't let you use my data for your wicked purposes." Nodoka
said, as she looked at the powerful mutant.
"Perhaps, I could convince you. Perhaps your son Ranma might change
your mind?" Magneto stated.
Nodoka's eyes widened. "He has nothing to do with this! He hasn't
even displayed a mutant power yet! He's of no interest to you."
Dammit! That came out harsher then she meant it to, but Ranma did
that to her. He was her only son, her legacy. Even when she had
abandon him to Genma it was in the hope thahe would get stronger. For
her life would be harsh to him.
Nodoka snarled for a minute. "Damn you...." Then her shoulders
slumped. "Alright Magneto, what do you want me to do?"
Magneto grinned under his helmet. Yes this Ranma would be the perfect
tool to keep Nodoka under his thumb. He opened his mouth to speak,
but before he could...
"YOU LEAVE MY MOMMA ALONE!" Nodoka's eyes widened as she saw the red
blur leap over her and slam feet first into Magneto.
Ranma had seen enough. So his mother had a secret life that was
linked with mutants. Mutants weren't so bad. Sunfire, the hero of
Japan, was one. He was one of the heroes to Ranma. Even Genma, who
thoughts that most mutants gain power through some sort of cheating,
like Sunfire.More importantly, it seemed that this Magneto was using
her to do something that she didn't want to do. What clenched it was
when Magneto tried to force her to do it by threatening to use him
should she refuse. Nodoka had chosen to concede to his demands,
rather than have himself be used by this man.
`It was time for this `Magneto' to learn why you didn't threaten the
friends and family of Ranma Saotome!' With that thought Ranma leapt
to attack, feeling the satisfying crunch against his feet.
Magneto slid across the room and slammed into the wall.
"Insolent fool! You wish to challenge the master of Magnetism? Very
well, let me show you your folly!" With that he floated up and with a
gesture of his hand sent flying several metal girders from the wall,
which Ranma deftly dodged.
And the battle was on.
Magneto smirked, this boy was challenging him to a fight to protect
his loved one, how noble, it didn't matter though, he would lose
easily enough. He wasn't a mutant, and had probably never fought
against mutants before, so there was no need to worry. Although it
was surprising to see him dodge so easily.
Nodoka watched in horror as her son took on one of the world's most
dangerous mutants, even if she got involved, the two of them couldn't
stand up to Magneto. Still, she had heard about some of his
adventures and hoped that he didn't exaggerate in any of them. It
probably wouldn't matter anyways, martial artists were not mutants.
Ranma was getting aggravated at his lack of success at getting close
to the caped figure floating there, he had seen Herb do something
similar, but not nearly as long. Ranma decided to wait until those
support beams that were being tossed around got closer to try
something, he had seen Ryoga do it, and he knew he could do it as
well. As soon as the beams got into range, Ranma tore his shirt
sleeve off and focused some Ki into the cloth and turned the ordinary
silk shirt into a blade capable of cutting through anything,
combining the Iron Cloth technique and the Kijin Raishu Dan, he swung
his impromptu sword and sliced up the beams before jumping out of the
way. "Hah! It'll take more than a fancy trick to take me down."
"I must say I'm impressed boy, most mutants would have a hard time
keeping up with you. But now it ends." And with that Magneto lifted
everything metallic in the room; nuts, bolts, tools, pieces of the
metal girders and even the Saotome Sword and flung them at Ranma at
even greater speeds.
"No Ranma! Leave him alone Magneto, I'll do what you want, just don't
hurt him!" Nodoka begged him from where she was.
"He has to learn the folly of taking on the Master of Magnitism."
Ranma was getting tired from dodging at such high speeds, he even had
to use the Amaguriken to block many of the nuts and bolts. This was
getting him nowhere fast and if he didn't do something right now, his
mom and himself would be knee deep in shit. He thought of a Ki blast,
but disguarded the idea, it would just blow up the intant it hit
something, and Magneto would probably put something in the way to
block it, so he had one other idea. Ducking a beam that would have
clonked him in the head, and jumping up and back to avoid several
nuts and bolts, Ranma started to gather Ki for the attack. As soon as
he landed, he jumped forward and landed only a few feet away from
Magneto. All the metal was coming at him from all sides, but Ranma
decided to end it right there. "Sai Dai Ryu Kijin Raishu Dan!"
Swinging his arms backwards, like a cresant moon, the First Rate
Demon God Assault Bomb sliced through everything to get to Magneto.
At that moment, however, the all the metal hit Ranma from the sides
and the back, knocking him out temporarily.
Magneto smirked as he saw that the boy was out, though, he had to
admit he put up a good fight. The smirk vanished as soon as a pain
hit his left arm and right leg. Grimacing in pain Magneto looked down
to see that both arm and leg had deep slices into them. If he didn't
get it fixed soon, they'd be useless. 'How in the world did he hurt
me? Wait, when he pulled his arms back, yes that had to be it.'
Looking at Nodoka, he sneered. "I'll come back for your son as well
as you later Nodoka." And with that, he floated out a window and
away. The metal that was floating around crashed to the ground.
Nodoka watched as Magneto flew away. She couldn't have helped her son
at all in that fight. She was trained in some martial arts, but she
was not as skilled as Ranma. She quickly ran over to him and checked
to see if he was alright, as soon as she touched him he moaned and
started to get up. "Ranma." She asked tenatively, she knew that he'd
hate her for not helping him, or at the very least, not telling him
about her secret life.
"Hi momma, did I win?" She nodded her head. She was surprised when he
hugged her, she reacted and gave him one back immediately, but was
still shocked. "Why didn't you tell me? I hated hiding my secrets
from you, why couldn't you tell me?"
"I didn't know how you would react. Plus my life is full of dangers
that you can not comprehend." Nodoka replied.
Ranma didn't respond, just hugged her tighter for a few
minutes. "Momma, I don't really care if you have a secret life.You're
one of the few that's supported me unconditionally. I don't care what
you've done in life, you've loved me unconditionally, and that's all
that matters to me. Besides, that jerk forced you into doing what he
wanted and I know what that's like."
Nodoka started to cry.
Nodoka soon stopped her weeping and started to tell her son about her
life. "Ranma, I work for underground group that helps and protects
mutants. I have a degree on advance genetics that I use in research
to help them. That's why Magneto wanted me. He wanted the information
I know. I also have to confess that Genma is not your father."
"It's okay, mother. I forgive you. But who is my father?" Ranma
asked.
"I still a little nervious at telling you as I haven't told him yet.
All I can say about him is that he is an honorable man." Nodoka said.
"Alright for now." Ranma wanted to know the truth, but he thought it
might be best to give his mother time. "But what do we do now?"
Nodoka thought over the options that she and her son had. They had
little.
Magneto was now interested in them. Ranma had defeated him without
using a mutant power. Ranma still might be a mutant, but the fact
that he had defeat a mutant without powers. Magneto would want to
know everything Ranma knew in order to prevent that from happening
again.
Plus he would be prepared for anything the next time he saw the
martial artist.
She had one option for her son. It would cost her much. She would
have to send him to the X-men. "I think that it might be best for you
to go to America. I have friends there that could help you if Magneto
attacks again."
"I can beat that guy..."Ranma started, but Nodoka stopped him.
"Ranma, the only reason you defeated Magneto was the fact you took
him by surprise. But he will be ready next time. You will need help.
And my friend, Professor Charles Xavior should be able to protect
you." Nodoka replied. She handed Ranma some money for a plane ticket.
She then turned on a tap and splashed Ranma with cold water. "He
won't expect you in your girl form. I'll show you the hidden exit."
Ranma thought over what was happening as he sat in his seat on the
airplane to Bayville. It was all happening so fast. He had learned
the truth about his mother, only to lose her again after so many
years. Now he was heading to America to seek help from one of his
mothers friends to protect himself from a new powerful foe. What else
could go wrong?
At the Xavior Institute....
"Nodoka, good to hear from you again. Why do I pleasure of talking to
you." Professor Xavior asked his college and former lover.
"I have had an incident." Nodoka replied as she told of what had
happened in Japan. About the attack that Magneto had made, and how
her martial artist son had managed to drive the powerful mutant. "So
that's why have had sent Ranma to you. I've aready made up a cover
story about Ranma needing to clear up some family business in
America. I"m going to try to clean things up here before I join you."
"Interesting. But do you think that Ranma will have an open mind
about mutants?" Xavior said.
"Trust me, you have a harder time trying to believing Ranma." Nodoka
said as she smiled over the phone. "Charles, there's something
important that I have to tell you about Ranma..."
Later...
"I'm glad that you are here, Logan. I need your help." The Professor
said.
"What's the problem, Chuck?" Logan said as he stood in the
professor's office.
"I need you to pick up a special student." The Professor said, as he
then when on to explain the situation in Japan.
"And that is why he's coming here." Xavior finished.
"Your telling me a kid defeated Magneto. What kind of muatnt powers
does he have?" Logan asked.
"We're not sure. He defeated MAgneto without any mutant powers."
Xavior said.
"No muatnt powers. You're saying an ordinary human defeated one of
the most powerful mutants on earth. You got to be kidding me." Logan
said with disbelief.
"Not ordinary. He seems to be a powerful martial artist."
"That makes more sense. I have seen some of those martial artist in
Asia. They can do things that seem like mutant powers. So when do I
pick up the kid?"
"As soon as possible. The main reason I choose you is that you have
experience speaking Japanese. The boy seems to have poor english
skills." Xavior said. "I'll stay here and try to discover if I can
find the boy and see if he has any latent mutant powers using
Cerebro."
"I'm on my way." Logan said as he left the room. Xavior left soon
after on his way to Cerebro.
Later...
The Professor scanned Ranma, detecting him at the Bayville airport.
He had sent Logan to pick him up as he was the only one that was
skilled at the Japanese Language. But from the scan he had do, he was
quite interested in the boy. Just by using the lifeforce from his
body, the boy had developed skills that mimiced mutant powers.
But more surprising was the mutant powers that was dorment in the
boy. It was a powerful force to be recken with, once it was properly
developed. As it was, the boy couldn't access it. But Xavior could
help the boy develop his power.
Xavior was able to determine that the power that Ranma contained was
the ability to manipulate a form of energy. Ranma's body was
generating the energy, it just wasn't being used by him. In fact,
most of this energy was being converted into Ki and being used by his
body. With help, Ranma should be able to generate much more of this
energy and still keep his high Ki levels.
The more that Xavior looked the more amazed he was that Ranma's
energy control power hadn't come out yet. He had expected that
Ranma's Ki was being amped with
a mysterious dark energy.
Ranma seemed to generate this energy, by taking energy from some
other dimention. But it was potent energy. Perhaps they could explore
the secrets behind that energy, once Ranma was safe.
At the Airport....
Ranma looked around for someone to pick him up. His mother had told
him that she would be phoning ahead for someone to pick him up.
That's when he saw the figure, standing there with a sign in Japanese
with his name on it. It was a short, yet muscluar hairy white man
that Ranma identified as a fighter. He wore an old jacket and jeans,
with a grey cowboy hat. Ranma Walked towards the figure.
Magneto had figure that Nodoka might send the boy to the X-men. That
was why he had gone to the Bayville Airport.
Later..
Wolverine looked at the kid next to him in the jeep. Ranma had been
acting on his best behavior, so Wolverine couldn't tell what Ranma
was really like, But the boy was warrior and reeked of confidence.
"So Kid, what'cha thinking about?" Wolverine asked in Japanese,
curious to see what the boy was thinking.
"I wonder what mother is doing. I'm curious to see this school."
Ranma said in a sedated voice. Then with a smirk he added. "I'm
curious to see if I can beat you in a fight."
Wolverine smiled a bit at the remark. "We'll see. We'll see."
Suddenly, the jeep stopped moving with a jerk.
A Thought crossed Magneto's mind. 'Magneto!'
Logan stopped the jeep. "Looks like it's time to fight." He jumped
out of the car and brought out his claws.
Magneto floated above them. "Time to test out your skills." Then he
looked over to the construction site that was near where the jeep had
stopped. Magneto had chosen this place because it had been abandon
for the day, and it was a source of magnetic metals. Using his powers
he leviated the metal girders, them formed them into a giant warrior
to fight for him. The metallic figure emerged from the construction
site.
"Attack." commanded Magneto.
Wolverine started to attacking the metal giant that was in front of
him. But the he seemed to freeze as he leviated in the air. Ranma
took this as a bad sign. Ranma looked at the figure. "I guess that
this one is mine. Moko Takabisha." Ranma lunched his Ki attack. It
damaged the metallic figure. But Magneto just used his mutant powers
to fix the figure. "Well, if that does work..." Ranma decided that it
was time to use his father forbidden schools. "Kijin Raishu Dan."
Ranma launched his Vacuum blades at the girder beast. It succeed in
severing the girders, until Magneto's magnetic powers repaired the
figure again. The girder beast then tried to attack Ranma, but the
martial artist dodged. He leaped on the beast trying more of his
father's forbidden school. But each time, Magneto used his powers to
fix the damage.
Then with out warning to steel bars flew from the construction site.
They wrapped around the martial artist by surprise.
Ranma was upset. His martial arts weren't enough. He needed more
power. He could feels something powerful dwelling within him, but he
couldn't quite reach it. He decided to concentrate on the power.
"You never get away with this." Wolverine said, adding "Xavior will
find you."
"Not before I get what I want from the boy." Magento floated closer
to Ranma. "And I will get what I want."
Suddenly Ranma's battle aura appeared, starting off bright blue but
turning into a blackish-blue.It cloaked Ranma in darkness. Then it
started to expand from Ranma, bending the steel bar. The bar then
broke. Ranma hovered in the air cloaked in dark energy."Go to hell."
Ranma said as he shot of a missile of dark energy at Magneto's face
with his hand. The bolt blasted surprise Magneto back. making him
loose his concetration on his magnetic powers. The steel girders fell
around them. Wolverine quickly freed himself from the metal prison he
was in.
'The boy has grown more powerful.' Magneto thought Then from the sky
he could see the X-jet comming in..'Looks like it's time to leave.'
"I will be back." Magneto said as he flew away.
As Magneto left, Ranma suddenly dropped from the sky as his aura
vanished. Wolverine caught the unconcious boy.
A little while, elsewhere...
Magneto thought about his plan. He had tested the boy and had been
intrigued by the results. The boy was powerful. He had developed an
energy attack and a form of vaccuum attack. Without using a mutant
power. Magneto knew this do to a device that he had built to detect
mutant power emmissions. Only with the strange darkness attacks did
the detector read an mutant powers and prove that the boy was a
brother mutant.
That proved to Magneto that the boy had discovered a source of power
that normal humans could use. Powers that could could be used against
him. Or be used to increase the power of his fellow mutants. He had
to learn the secret. There was two ways.
Capture the boy. Which he was going to do. The boy was a powerful
mutant. Magneto could still feel the bruises he had recieved from the
energy blast that he had gotten from the boy. Plus it would give him
an edge over Nodoka.
The other was to go back to Japan and find out what the boy had done
there to get as powerful as he did. Perhaps he could even find some
more mutants with also had the power boost this Ranma did. Or those
that he could turn into mutants...
He started to hatch a plan for his next move.

away. The metal that was floating around crashed to the ground.
Nodoka watched as Magneto flew away. She couldn't have helped her son
at all in that fight. She was trained in some martial arts, but she
was not as skilled as Ranma. She quickly ran over to him and checked
to see if he was alright, as soon as she touched him he moaned and
started to get up. "Ranma." She asked tenatively, she knew that he'd
hate her for not helping him, or at the very least, not telling him
about her secret life.
"Hi momma, did I win?" She nodded her head. She was surprised when he
hugged her, she reacted and gave him one back immediately, but was
still shocked. "Why didn't you tell me? I hated hiding my secrets
from you, why couldn't you tell me?"
"I didn't know how you would react. Plus my life is full of dangers
that you can not comprehend." Nodoka replied.
Ranma didn't respond, just hugged her tighter for a few
minutes. "Momma, I don't really care if you have a secret life.You're
one of the few that's supported me unconditionally. I don't care what
you've done in life, you've loved me unconditionally, and that's all
that matters to me. Besides, that jerk forced you into doing what he
wanted and I know what that's like."
Nodoka started to cry.
Nodoka soon stopped her weeping and started to tell her son about her
life. "Ranma, I work for underground group that helps and protects
mutants. I have a degree on advance genetics that I use in research
to help them. That's why Magneto wanted me. He wanted the information
I know. I also have to confess that Genma is not your father."
"It's okay, mother. I forgive you. But who is my father?" Ranma
asked.
"I still a little nervious at telling you as I haven't told him yet.
All I can say about him is that he is an honorable man." Nodoka said.
"Alright for now." Ranma wanted to know the truth, but he thought it
might be best to give his mother time. "But what do we do now?"
Nodoka thought over the options that she and her son had. They had
little.
Magneto was now interested in them. Ranma had defeated him without
using a mutant power. Ranma still might be a mutant, but the fact
that he had defeat a mutant without powers. Magneto would want to
know everything Ranma knew in order to prevent that from happening
again.
Plus he would be prepared for anything the next time he saw the
martial artist.
She had one option for her son. It would cost her much. She would
have to send him to the X-men. "I think that it might be best for you
to go to America. I have friends there that could help you if Magneto
attacks again."
"I can beat that guy..."Ranma started, but Nodoka stopped him.
"Ranma, the only reason you defeated Magneto was the fact you took
him by surprise. But he will be ready next time. You will need help.
And my friend, Professor Charles Xavior should be able to protect
you." Nodoka replied. She handed Ranma some money for a plane ticket.
She then turned on a tap and splashed Ranma with cold water. "He
won't expect you in your girl form. I'll show you the hidden exit."
Ranma thought over what was happening as he sat in his seat on the
airplane to Bayville. It was all happening so fast. He had learned
the truth about his mother, only to lose her again after so many
years. Now he was heading to America to seek help from one of his
mothers friends to protect himself from a new powerful foe. What else
could go wrong?
At the Xavior Institute....
"Nodoka, good to hear from you again. Why do I pleasure of talking to
you." Professor Xavior asked his college and former lover.
"I have had an incident." Nodoka replied as she told of what had
happened in Japan. About the attack that Magneto had made, and how
her martial artist son had managed to drive the powerful mutant. "So
that's why have had sent Ranma to you. I've aready made up a cover
story about Ranma needing to clear up some family business in
America. I"m going to try to clean things up here before I join you."
"Interesting. But do you think that Ranma will have an open mind
about mutants?" Xavior said.
"Trust me, you have a harder time trying to believing Ranma." Nodoka
said as she smiled over the phone. "Charles, there's something
important that I have to tell you about Ranma..."
Later...
"I'm glad that you are here, Logan. I need your help." The Professor
said.
"What's the problem, Chuck?" Logan said as he stood in the
professor's office.
"I need you to pick up a special student." The Professor said, as he
then when on to explain the situation in Japan.
"And that is why he's coming here." Xavior finished.
"Your telling me a kid defeated Magneto. What kind of muatnt powers
does he have?" Logan asked.
"We're not sure. He defeated MAgneto without any mutant powers."
Xavior said.
"No muatnt powers. You're saying an ordinary human defeated one of
the most powerful mutants on earth. You got to be kidding me." Logan
said with disbelief.
"Not ordinary. He seems to be a powerful martial artist."
"That makes more sense. I have seen some of those martial artist in
Asia. They can do things that seem like mutant powers. So when do I
pick up the kid?"
"As soon as possible. The main reason I choose you is that you have
experience speaking Japanese. The boy seems to have poor english
skills." Xavior said. "I'll stay here and try to discover if I can
find the boy and see if he has any latent mutant powers using
Cerebro."
"I'm on my way." Logan said as he left the room. Xavior left soon
after on his way to Cerebro.
Later...
The Professor scanned Ranma, detecting him at the Bayville airport.
He had sent Logan to pick him up as he was the only one that was
skilled at the Japanese Language. But from the scan he had do, he was
quite interested in the boy. Just by using the lifeforce from his
body, the boy had developed skills that mimiced mutant powers.
But more surprising was the mutant powers that was dorment in the
boy. It was a powerful force to be recken with, once it was properly
developed. As it was, the boy couldn't access it. But Xavior could
help the boy develop his power.
Xavior was able to determine that the power that Ranma contained was
the ability to manipulate a form of energy. Ranma's body was
generating the energy, it just wasn't being used by him. In fact,
most of this energy was being converted into Ki and being used by his
body. With help, Ranma should be able to generate much more of this
energy and still keep his high Ki levels.
The more that Xavior looked the more amazed he was that Ranma's
energy control power hadn't come out yet. He had expected that
Ranma's Ki was being amped with
a mysterious dark energy.
Ranma seemed to generate this energy, by taking energy from some
other dimention. But it was potent energy. Perhaps they could explore
the secrets behind that energy, once Ranma was safe.
At the Airport....
Ranma looked around for someone to pick him up. His mother had told
him that she would be phoning ahead for someone to pick him up.
That's when he saw the figure, standing there with a sign in Japanese
with his name on it. It was a short, yet muscluar hairy white man
that Ranma identified as a fighter. He wore an old jacket and jeans,
with a grey cowboy hat. Ranma Walked towards the figure.
Magneto had figure that Nodoka might send the boy to the X-men. That
was why he had gone to the Bayville Airport.
Later..
Wolverine looked at the kid next to him in the jeep. Ranma had been
acting on his best behavior, so Wolverine couldn't tell what Ranma
was really like, But the boy was warrior and reeked of confidence.
"So Kid, what'cha thinking about?" Wolverine asked in Japanese,
curious to see what the boy was thinking.
"I wonder what mother is doing. I'm curious to see this school."
Ranma said in a sedated voice. Then with a smirk he added. "I'm
curious to see if I can beat you in a fight."
Wolverine smiled a bit at the remark. "We'll see. We'll see."
Suddenly, the jeep stopped moving with a jerk.
A Thought crossed Magneto's mind. 'Magneto!'
Logan stopped the jeep. "Looks like it's time to fight." He jumped
out of the car and brought out his claws.
Magneto floated above them. "Time to test out your skills." Then he
looked over to the construction site that was near where the jeep had
stopped. Magneto had chosen this place because it had been abandon
for the day, and it was a source of magnetic metals. Using his powers
he leviated the metal girders, them formed them into a giant warrior
to fight for him. The metallic figure emerged from the construction
site.
"Attack." commanded Magneto.
Wolverine started to attacking the metal giant that was in front of
him. But the he seemed to freeze as he leviated in the air. Ranma
took this as a bad sign. Ranma looked at the figure. "I guess that
this one is mine. Moko Takabisha." Ranma lunched his Ki attack. It
damaged the metallic figure. But Magneto just used his mutant powers
to fix the figure. "Well, if that does work..." Ranma decided that it
was time to use his father forbidden schools. "Kijin Raishu Dan."
Ranma launched his Vacuum blades at the girder beast. It succeed in
severing the girders, until Magneto's magnetic powers repaired the
figure again. The girder beast then tried to attack Ranma, but the
martial artist dodged. He leaped on the beast trying more of his
father's forbidden school. But each time, Magneto used his powers to
fix the damage.
Then with out warning to steel bars flew from the construction site.
They wrapped around the martial artist by surprise.
Ranma was upset. His martial arts weren't enough. He needed more
power. He could feels something powerful dwelling within him, but he
couldn't quite reach it. He decided to concentrate on the power.
"You never get away with this." Wolverine said, adding "Xavior will
find you."
"Not before I get what I want from the boy." Magento floated closer
to Ranma. "And I will get what I want."
Suddenly Ranma's battle aura appeared, starting off bright blue but
turning into a blackish-blue.It cloaked Ranma in darkness. Then it
started to expand from Ranma, bending the steel bar. The bar then
broke. Ranma hovered in the air cloaked in dark energy."Go to hell."
Ranma said as he shot of a missile of dark energy at Magneto's face
with his hand. The bolt blasted surprise Magneto back. making him
loose his concetration on his magnetic powers. The steel girders fell
around them. Wolverine quickly freed himself from the metal prison he
was in.
'The boy has grown more powerful.' Magneto thought Then from the sky
he could see the X-jet comming in..'Looks like it's time to leave.'
"I will be back." Magneto said as he flew away.
As Magneto left, Ranma suddenly dropped from the sky as his aura
vanished. Wolverine caught the unconcious boy.
A little while, elsewhere...
Magneto thought about his plan. He had tested the boy and had been
intrigued by the results. The boy was powerful. He had developed an
energy attack and a form of vaccuum attack. Without using a mutant
power. Magneto knew this do to a device that he had built to detect
mutant power emmissions. Only with the strange darkness attacks did
the detector read an mutant powers and prove that the boy was a
brother mutant.
That proved to Magneto that the boy had discovered a source of power
that normal humans could use. Powers that could could be used against
him. Or be used to increase the power of his fellow mutants. He had
to learn the secret. There was two ways.
Capture the boy. Which he was going to do. The boy was a powerful
mutant. Magneto could still feel the bruises he had recieved from the
energy blast that he had gotten from the boy. Plus it would give him
an edge over Nodoka.
The other was to go back to Japan and find out what the boy had done
there to get as powerful as he did. Perhaps he could even find some
more mutants with also had the power boost this Ranma did. Or those
that he could turn into mutants...
He started to hatch a plan for his next move.
