Chapter four

Ranma's gaze drifted from Nabiki to Akane and then Ryoga. "Why I have the right, that's easy. I saw the two of them making out the day after that guy showed up to offer me that job. They where very intimate." Ranma had his fists clenched and his voice was cold, his knuckles where turning white and blood dripped from his hands as his nails dug into them.

Ryoga and Akane stood there with a look of both embarrassment and shock on their faces. "You saw us…?" Akane looked in Ryoga's eyes and she could see that he was shocked as well.

Nabiki looked at Ryoga and Akane and simply looking at their faces told her Ranma was telling the truth. "I see, well then I can understand why you are angry with Akane and Ryoga. I'm sorry, we would like it if you stayed here and helped out in our fights against the aliens."

"Don't worry we will help you out, now is there a place where my men and I can go to settle in?" Ranma needed to get away from these people, he needed to gather his thoughts.

"Yes there is." And so Nabiki gave Ranma directions through their bunker to a room he and his men could use.

Ranma turned and faced his pack and told them to follow him, all of the nodded and followed Ranma as he led the way. Socgar dropped down from the sealing and formed the rear guard of the pack. This allowed him to hear a question being asked among the Nerima wrecking crew.

"Sure I can understand why he would be angry but this angry, no way." The one asking the question had been Shampoo.

Socgar turned and looked at the group and spoke to them. "Ranma's in more pain then you think. You see he still loves Akane, that's why he hasn't returned here earlier. Now he's only here because of the people who live here, friends from his past, friends he still cares for." With those words Socgar turned back to his pack and ran to catch up with them.

Meanwhile everyone gathered in the hall was talking among themselves. "Akane, Ryoga you don't have to tell me the exact details, heck you don't have to say anything, The look on both your faces tells the entire story and I feel ashamed to be your sister Akane." And so Nabiki turned around and as she did a single tear rolled down her cheek, she had loved Ranma back then and even now she felt something to him. She decided she needed some time alone and left for her room.

Meanwhile Ranma and his pack reached the room Nabiki had said they could use and opened the door. The room was fairly large, 30 feet long and 15 feet wide. Eight beds where lined up against the walls and there was a chest in front of every bed. All in all this looked like a military barrack. 'Pretty comfortable isn't it?' Ranma entered the room and dumped his stuff on the bed closest to the door. The other five predators each went over to a bed and dropped their stuff as well. After taking of most of their weapons they took of their masks.

Ranma watched as his pack members settled in and smiled. They where his real friends now, they had been through many battles and had survived more dangers than anyone could imagine. 'Blood Dragons, gather around please.' Ranma had named his pack the dragons and after several missions the people on their home planet had dubbed them blood dragons for their gory fighting style. Most of the time they encountered a prey it would be brought down fast and vicious. Ranma waited for a few moments as his friends gathered around him.

'Okay it seems we have found ourselves allies against the aliens, trust me when I say to you that there are very capable fighters among them. We need to get some more info about the infestation for we can make up a plan. Also did you notice the slight difference in the aliens we fought. I could make out their heat signatures on infra red when they engaged us. It's as of their body temperature is higher then normal. We need to capture a specimen and research it. We need to learn more about our prey, I have a feeling that there is something going on here. Something I don't like. Kroteur, after settling in we will go and ask if there is a place where we can contact our ship, I want our supplies down here as fast as possible."

'No problem.'

Okay I'm gonna go and take a nap, wake me when we're ready?" Ranma lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. It wasn't long before he fell asleep.

Flashback:

Ranma, after having gotten rid of the alien Queen together with a wounded Socgar stood there on the ice, looking at the ocean, when all of a sudden there was a bright light behind them. They both turned and Ranma squinted his eyes in order to see. What he saw spooked him, there stood a large spaceship. From the ship came group of 5 predators. Four who looked like they where normal rank soldiers or something like that but there was one who carried a helmet with many strange markings. Among them was a mark that Socgar had made on his arm, a strangely shaped T. The apparent leader of the group walked over to Socgar and looked at him. After seeing the mark and his wounds he nodded and slapped him on the shoulder. Socgar lowered nodded and walked past the leader yet just before he entered the ship he turned around and regarded Ranma. There stood a human who had fought against many aliens with him and had actually won. He knew that this boy was strong, strong enough to be a hunter.

The leader of the pack then regarded Ranma and stepped closer. He held a large club-kike object. He looked Ranma over and then grabbed his shoulder, Ranma suppressed his instinct to shake of that hand. He was turned so that the predator could look closer at his right arm. What he saw there made him nod, there stood the mark someone would make after defeating a tough-skin. He held out the club-like object and it extended into a nearly seven foot large spear.

Ranma saw the spear grow and distributed his weight so that he could better dodge if necessary.

Then the spear changed back into a club and he handed it to Ranma, he then turned around and walked over towards the ship. Ranma watched the predator's back and his mind was a jumble. Here he was seeing an alien race, having fought together with someone of that race against another alien race. His life flashed before his eyes and it stuck on the last thing he had seen before leaving Japan Akane and Ryoga making out. It was then that he felt empty, there was nothing left here but the chaos that Ranma Saotome called a life. Without thinking he called out. "STOP!"

The predator stopped and turned around regarding Ranma. It was as if he was asking him what he wanted.

"Take me with you." Not knowing the language Ranma improvised. He pointed to himself then to the predator then to the ship and finally to the sky.

The predator stood there, trying to figure out what that human wanted, he then managed to figure out that he wanted to come with them. The predator turned back to the ship and shouted something that Ranma didn't understand.

Socgar cam running out of the ship and stopped in front of his leader. They had a conversation which Ranma couldn't understand. Socgar seemed to do most of the talking though, while the other listened. After Socgar finished the other predator turned to regard Ranma. He then pointed to Ranma and said. "K-R-kanma?"

Ranma nodded and pointed at himself. "Ranma!"

The predator nodded and pointed to himself. "Khatar." Khatar then hit his fists together and pointed at Ranma and then to himself.

Ranma didn't understand right away, yet he got the feeling that he was about to be tested. He grabbed the remains of his shirt and ripped it off. He was truly pooped but he still had some fight left in him.

Khatar roared and took of his weapons, he then wasted no time in charging Ranma. Ranma decided to meet the charge head on. As soon as he was close enough Khatar brought his arms down. Ranma was ready and managed to catch Khatar's hands with his. As soon as he did so his legs nearly buckled, this guy was as, if not stronger then Ryoga. He mustered every last ounce of strength and he managed to jump up and dropkick Khatar in the chest.

Khatar was kicked in the chest and flew back and slammed into his ship. He shook his head and was ready to go again. Yet just as he was about to charge again he noticed that something was wrong with his chest. Looking down he saw the problem, his chest plate was dented where Ranma had kicked him. This made him feel something he had never expected to feel for a human, respect. He let out a load roar and charged Ranma.

Ranma was not having a good day, he was seriously hurt and now he was facing off against a powerful opponent. He saw Khatar charge and knew he had one shot, he dug deep and pulled out the last bit of ki he had left. He dashed forward, leaving behind a trail of blood.

Khatar watched Ranma dash in and when he was within range he heard words he did not understand but the where followed by something he did.

"Kachuu Tenshin Amaguriken!" For many seconds Ranma kept pounding Khatar, normally his chestnut fist would strike someone with over 1000 blows per second. Now however he was pooped and after 11 seconds he had hit Khatar 500 times.

Khatar felt the punches to his chest and staggered, not due to the strength but due to the amount of punches. Again he felt respect for this young man, he somehow knew that if he had been at full strength he would have been hurt a lot more. Then when the punches stopped he countered. He swung his fist and hit Ranma with a right hook, sending him flying into the ship. After hitting the ship Ranma slid to the ground, completely spend. As he slid down he left a huge smear of blood behind. Khatar walked closer and looked down on Ranma. Ranma's back was severely torn and he was bleeding severely. This boy had faced him even when he was wounded so. He called out and a group of four people came running from the ship and they carried Ranma inside on a stretcher. Ranma felt as if had found a new home and as he was carried in he lost consciousness.

End flashback

Ranma opened his eyes and sat up in bed, he then looked around and saw his men talking among themselves and he smiled. It had been really hard earning a place among the predators yet he had earned it. And now they considered him as one of them, they where his family.
