'+' Flashback

Chapter 12

It was Sunday. He forced himself to think about doing his homework. But his mind was just wasn't on it. Nabiki soon had adoptions paper ready. All that was needed was one of his parents to sign it. Even Kasumi and Nabiki was both surprised about the loophole that Ranma found. The Digidestine, a single Tamer, and the Digimon were happy for him. They plan to have a cake for desert to night. Takato and Ken when out to get stuff to make a cake. The others teens were playing a board game. The Digimon were trying to have a game of Poker. The word was trying, for Calamon eating the winnings, which was candy. Nabiki was out to check on the stuffed Gatomons and Calamons. Kasumi was enjoying playing the board game with the young teens. Even Izzy was playing.

None of the people have heard from Mr. Tendo or Genma. The fact that they must be suffering from Akane's cooking. They haven't seen Akane either was quiet comforting. The fact that there have yet to be any rogue Digimon only make the fact that something big was being planned.

Ranma just stared at it. It was his biology textbook. It was talking about reproduction. His pops has never really told him about how it was done. Ranma had just been paying attention recently to what the teachers were talking about and reading what was in the textbooks. He was scanning through his biology textbook on day about four months ago, when he found the chapter with a picture of a man's manhood in it. He began to read the page and continued to read the next one. He still remembers the shock and the feeling of being sick to his stomach. It was Nabiki who looked at the page he had been reading and the look on his face. She had then begun to give Ranma the talk. Ranma always thank whatever gods and goddesses, that Akane hadn't been home at the time. Nabiki hadn't charged him a penny.

Now he has a bit of a picture of what Akane thought he was doing with his other fiancées. Ranma had then decided to read the chapters in the textbook through more fully. So he after reading them through before, here he was trying to again. He has a list of questions due for tomorrow. One of them was asking about a new idea about how people could have babies without having sex. All he knew it involved a something bank. He just couldn't come up with the first part of the name. Sighing he again looks at the textbook. The answer was on the page. He knew it.

Nabiki came back. On seeing the look on Ranma's face, she knew that the whole reproduction idea was something he still can't get a grip on. At seeing the question, she smirked. "The name you're trying for would be a sperm bank. It's a place where guys go to get their sperm frozen. Then women go to get said sperm." Ranma looked at Nabiki. "So, guys make a donation and women can check out the donation?" He asked. "Look at it this way. If you go make a donation and reserve it for like lets say for Shampoo. Then Shampoo would be able to have away to have your kids, without the two of you having sex." Ranma just blinked. "You're known about this and didn't tell me? This could get the Amazons off my back a long time ago!" Nabiki looked amused. "It was more profitable to sell information to they then it was to help you out." With that Nabiki walked up stairs. Ranma just looking stunned. 'She knew all along how to get rid of the Amazons without me moving to their Village! Better not waste this. The sooner I talk to the old ghoul, the sooner I can hear what the had to say about this.' Ranma closes his textbook. With an simple "I'll be back soon." Ranma heads out.

With Ranma gone, Guilmon pipes up. "What's sperm?"

-------------------

BlueMeramon, NeoDevimon, and GrapLeomon all watched has Ranma left the house. They look at the pair of MudFrigimon and then the Three opened a portal a block away from where Takato and Ken were. The MudFrigimon walk through the portal. The Three return to watching Ranma.

------------------

Kari and the others all kind of just stared at Guilmon before Izzy says, "It's something only human males make." Guilmon then says, "Ok." And returns to playing card.

A few minutes later Guilmon's growling. They soon leave off their games and follows Guilmon. Kari carries Calamon. Wormon gets carried on Guilmon's back.

They soon meet up with Takato and Ken. They were carrying bags. They had finish shopping. Together they make their way to the Digifield. Takato pulls down he goggles, Davis mimics Takato, and Kari puts on her sunglasses. They make it to the middle of the field. Takato and Davis puts their goggles back and Kari puts her sunglasses away. Takato take out his D-ark. It scans.

MudFrigimon

Champion level Digimon.

Data type

Mutant. Attacks are Mad Rocker and Heavy Punch.

"I remember meeting these Digimon. We tried to stop a motorcycle bike. You try to stop the bike by jumping on it. We had a hard time getting you off!" Takato says out loud. "Like to hear more about it later." Kari says.

The Digimon attacked.

--------------------

BlueMeramon walked through the portal. It was close to where Ranma was walking home. His meeting must have been gone well for he had a smile on his face. BlueMeramon moved towards him.

Ranma noticed the fog. He gets into a fighting stance. He is confronted with a Digimon on fire. The fire was the color blue. Ranma dodges. BlueMeramon throws a punch. Ranma block without thinking. He's not burned but the blue fire. They quickly exchange blows.

BlueMeramon enjoys this fight. He knows that he could end this any time, but he wishes to savor this fight. He watches the human evade his attacks and throw a few of his own. BlueMeramon has a small smile playing around on his face.

Ranma too was enjoying this fight. He could tell that the blue Digimon was trying to mimic some of his move. Ranma wonders the back of his mind where this Digimon would have known how he moves, but he just hopes that Takato and the other come so. He knows that this blue Digimon is only toying with him. But he hasn't had any real challenges for a long time.

The fight is soon interrupted by Shampoo. BlueMeramon mentally curses the human for interfering. With a quick shot to Ranma's stomach, BlueMeramon picks him up and opens a portal. He jumps through before Shampoo could react.

Landing on the branch, BlueMeramon lays Ranma on the branch. NeoDevimon and GrapLeomon check to see if the human was harmed. Finding nothing wrong with the human, BlueMeramon picks him up gently. All of them begin to head for a special pod that the Great One made for the capture of the human.

Ranma slowly comes to. He finds himself being carried in the arms of the blue Digimon. Look around he soon find that there's barely any light. Most of the light was coming from the blue fire Digimon. His eyes adjust and he sees NeoDevimon flying through the air. Then a bit in front of his capturer another Digimon with metal armor. The fact that he can't see too well means that he was totally at the mercy of this Digimon. He just enjoyed the ride.

BlueMeramon feel movement from the human. He decided to say something to the human. Not knowing what to say, he just says, "Don't worry I won't drop you." Ranma looks shocked that this Digimon could talk. Not trusting himself to speak, he just nods his head.

They soon make it to the special pod. BlueMeramon moves his arms so that Ranma could land on his feet. Feeling the eyes of the three on him, Ranma just tries to look around. It was GrapLeomon who spoke to him. "The Great One had wished for your presents. Forgive us for taking you out of your reality. If you would step into the pod in front of you, I think the Great One will answer your questions, you may have. For even we do not have the answers for you." The fact the their were being kind to him stunned Ranma to the core. With a weak nod, he walks up to the pod. The pod moves and Ranma disappears into the pod. The pod glows softly at first then stops.

The three are lost in their thoughts. It was NeoDevimon that broke the silent. "The human will find his answers. He is closer to the Great One. He was very brave. I hope that he comes out of this alright." The other two nod their agreements.

----------------------

The fight with the two MudFrigimon took longer then they would have believed. But soon the side with numbers began to gain the upper hand. Guilmon's Rock Breaker deleted one and between Tentomon and Veemon they deleted the last one. The portal came and went.

Izzy looked thoughtful. Kari decided to ask him what he was thinking about. "What do you make of this, Izzy?" Izzy answers. "I think that the last attack wasn't suppose to have had happened." Everyone looks at Izzy. "Like why wasn't the attack at the dock not suppose to happen." T.K. asks. "I mean that attack had two different types working together. And now they both were the same Digimon kind. I think that's the reason why there haven't been any attacks is that this Digimon must have been having to deal with something. Maybe who ever send the group of Digimon to the docks had to be dealt with. Maybe that's why they have attacked today. The dealt with that person and are starting up again." They walked in silents after that.

---------------------

Ranma was dreaming. He knew it, for simple fact that he was now standing in an open field. He remembers walking up to the pod, but nothing after that. He looks around. Soon a flowing ball of light comes shouting towards him. The ball stops and begins to circles him. Ranma tries to watch where it's going, but he had no luck. Soon it stops in front of him. There's a flash of light and there stands a young teen.

The teen has redish brown hair, the hair is shoulder length. The teen's eye color is gold. The teen stands a few inches under Ranma's height. The clothing the teen is wearing is a soft green T-shirt. A brown vest is over top the T-shirt, the zipper wasn't done up. The pants were light blue jeans. There was a necklace hanging around the teen's neck. The pendent was made up of gold and silver with a sapphire and ruby. It was arranged with the ruby being circled with gold wiring, the sapphire is wrapped in silver wiring. The silver and gold wirings twisted and connects to the chain. It was by this time did Ranma figure out that the teen was a girl.

"You're a girl?" Ranma ask dumbly. She smiles and nods. "It is nice to meet you. I am called Dire. Or as my children call me, Great One. I'm the reason you are here. And as one of my favorites has told you, I'll be answering any questions you have." Ranma felt like he could faint.

---------------------

As they made it back, Takato begun to teach Davis how to bake a cake. Veemon and Calamon decide to watch. The fact that Davis did listen to Takato shows in the final turn out. But between the starting and the end produced, anything seems to be allowed.

First Davis almost adds one more egg then necessary, or when Davis was catch red handed trying to sneak off with the batter, just to name a few. Many other things almost when wrong, but with Veemon and Calamon on Takato's side, so everything turned out for the best. For Takato teaching one of his cartoon heroes how to make a cake just was something. What the something was, he didn't know. He did know he was enjoying being around the Digidestine.

After putting the cakes into the oven. Takato began making the icing. Giving a bowl of icing to Veemon and Calamon for a job well done, he starts to make sandwiches for supper. When Veemon and Calamon finished off with their bowl of icing he gets them to wash their hands. They leave Takato alone in the kitchen. Sitting on a stool, Takato begins to think. 'I can't wait to see my friends again. Ryo, Rika, and Henry will be a huge help. Right now, only two-mega level Digimon. With them it makes five. If Kenta comes then it makes six. I wonder if I really did talk to Rika, in that dream? I wonder if she'll admit that the dream happened? Just one more week to go. I wonder what they've told my parents? I really miss them. I know when this is all over I'm going to miss Kasumi, Nabiki, Ranma, and the Digidestine. I will really be missing the fact that I don't have to go to school! I wonder where Ranma is?' Takato heads to the living room. He asked them, "Has anyone seen Ranma? I thought he'd be back by now."

Kasumi who was learn about how to use a laptop from Izzy. She answers, "Maybe they all went to the sperm bank?" Nabiki heads to the phone. "I'll call the Cat Café." Takato goes back to check on the cakes. Then back to the living room. Nabiki comes back into the room. "It would seem that Ranma was taken by a blue Digimon. The reason they didn't call was that they think that Ranma will be able to handle it." That made everyone thinks the same thought. It was, don't they even care that he was captured in the first place? They just blankly looked off into space. It was T.K. who says, "I just can't believe it." Nabiki answers, "True, but they don't know what we know. You can't blame them for not knowing." Ken answers, "I guess, but the fact that they didn't tell us is. They should have told us as soon as it happened." Many agree with that.

----------------

The shadow found BlueMeramon where Ranma's pod is. After watching the pod that BlueMeramon was staring at, the shadow felt puzzled. He quietly dropped behind BlueMeramon. He was beginning to understand why Renamon likes to appear, seemly out of nowhere. It's really funny startling people. "I must be missing something, for I just see a normal pod." The shadow said in amusement. This startles BlueMeramon, he turns to the shadow. "The human the Great One wanted captured is in that pod." The shadow look shocked. Just because BlueMeramon can't see the shadow's face doesn't mean that he can't guess. He continues, "I was the one to bring him in. We sparred, I didn't want to end it so soon, but another human came. So, I ended it quickly and took him with me. He walked right into the pod. That was a while ago. I'm the only one here now. So, what did you want?" At that the shadow looks at the pod. Then answers, "Just that some others I think, wish to speak to you on matters. Mostly on testing I believe." BlueMeramon sighs and nods his thanks. Soon BlueMeramon's gone. 'Now what? Is this my fault?' The shadow asks himself.

-------------------

Ranma was asking more about the tree and the Digimon that live in and around it. Dire answer his questions. They were by a river, sitting on rocks. The haven't talked for a while. Ranma asks, "Why attack my reality?" Dire thinks and then answers, "Because your world's coming apart at the seams. Your world will be ending soon. You see that magic your world has starting to turn bitter. At one time it was put to great use, but now it's being used in selfish ways. The magical creatures that use to be so plenty are now few. The abuse that you have lived throughout your life is just a small taste of how you world is being torn to sunder. I think you have figured out that around Digimon, your life hasn't been that chaotic? The fact that you stayed a male when dunked into cold water and about your fear of cats becoming less and less. I need a place to test Takato in, a world that was already in conflict. Your world was the most suited." Ranma blinks in surprised, then asks, "So you mean they whole mess of my life is just an example of how angry magic gotten? But why my life?" Dire looks sadly at the river, then answers, "You have heard of how the sins of the father comes a back on to the son? Your father is the reason and I'm sorry to say also your mothers as well. I don't know the story, but I do know that it involved the fact that your father studied under someone that just really pissed off the magic of you world and that your mother's side of the family had some kind of odd run ends with magic too." Ranma just stayed silent, absorbing these statements. Dire then add, "Soun Tendo, too study under the same person your father did. For not moving on with life when his wife died, magic made certain that you and your father would make it to the Tendo's Dojo. In away you and your father was magic's way of punishing Soun and his family. But it mostly focused on Soun and Akane. For Akane's was suppose to help you relax and be your friend. It was also to help Akane come to turns with her emotional problems. It was working roughly, but at not admitting that "P-Chan" was the human named Ryoga, did magic begin to punish her. Her sisters ended up on the ride. It's not magic that has been Akane acting the way she has recently. I'm not going to tell you who's fault either. The damage was done. It can be undone. For now just think about what I have told you. I'll be around." With that Dire disappear.

Reviews Read This:

I've decided to explain more about Akane's behavior. Would you guys believe that Akane is suffering from a lot of suppressed hormones? And most of Akane's interactions with Ranma does mostly involve yelling at him and malleting him? In this story something happen to Akane a month after the failed Wedding. Call it Shampoo trying to spike Akane's stuff or maybe Kuno's sister decide to begin to drug her. I don't know but the point is that I didn't want the Tamers and Digidestine watching as Ranma and Akane fought. They might have tried to help out. And most times when people try to give them relationship advice it's wasted. Akane would never allow the Dojo to be turned into a temporary guesthouse. I allow wanted to point out that after watching Takato and others do some cooking that Akane would try it too. You're either read the graphic novel or watched the show to know how well that would have turn up as. Again I DIDN'T wants anyone around the house poisoned. Some of your favorite Digimon might have become harm in this story. So blame Akane's behavior on people drugging her and suppressed hormones.

And for future referents, Mr. Tendo doesn't have much of a back bone, so anything that Ranma's father plans up to get Akane and Ranma together, they end up doing.
