Chapter 4- Answers
It's been one week since the fight between Genma and Shane. Genma had been sent straight to the hospital for treatment. Luckliy Doctor Tofu was able to reatatch the destoyed tissues, but he wouldnt be getting up for awhile and then he had rehabilatation. Shane on the other hand...never woke up. He has been at the Tendo home the whole week in the room shared by Ranma and Genma. At one point Ranma even went to Cologne for help, but as soon as she saw the medallion she told them not to touch the swords and left Mousse there while she went to study something. Ranma however was still wondering about the whole black aura thing. He had never seen anything like it. After Akane had told him about what her dad said he went to investigate...but not even Nabiki, not for lack of trying, couldn't get anything else out of him. Three days after the fight Ryoga came and was about to start a fight when Akane asked him to help Ranma with her friend. Now of course he accepted, "Any friend of yours is a friend of mine Akane." he had said. He was all smiles untill he reached the room where he found Ranma and Mousse around another boy. When he asked Akane where her friend was she pointed to the boy. After thanking him she left which led to Ryogas questions to Ranma. After finally convinsing Ryoga he was just a friend and nothing more he sat down and tried to help. That was four days ago...and they hadn't come up with anything. So they decided to start from the start.
"Ok." said Mousse. "Lets get the facts again.
Name: Shane Yukashii
Age: 16
Sex: Male. (which got a "duh" from the other two)
Status: Grandmaster to the Yukashii school of the Demon Blade.
Did I miss anything?" He asked the other two. When they shook their heads no he continued.
"According to Ranma during the fight he had with Genma his aura suddenly turned black and his eyes turned red correct?"
"Actually it was after pops broke some of his ribs with a punch. He was on the floor taunting him. Thats when his aura turned black and his eyes red. It was really weird...if felt pure evil, but it wasn't there before when I met him. And he's been here before so I guess he's not evil..." Ranma said.
"Ok...anything else?" after Mousse said that all councience occupants in the room looked towards the swords. They were placed up here by Soun...but he was wearing gloves for some reason. Ranma had told them what Shane had said earlier and when Cologne came she only repeated what he had said. She may be an old mummy but shen she says not to touch something...you just don't touch it. It's bad for the health. With that they all sighed...they were back at square one. Thats when they all sensed something. They looked towards Shane but he looked like he wasn't waking up anytime soon. Thats when Ryoga saw something on his hand. It was...glowing? It was the kanji for weapons.
"Hey guys.Check this out." he motined them to look at his right hand. The two others quickly looked at his hand...that was odd. Well maybe not as odd as things were in Nerima, but still odd. Thats when the boys noticed that their hand were now itching. They looked at their hands and now saw kanji on them.
"You think whatever he has is contagious?" asked Ranma.
"I can honestly say, I have never heard of glowing kanji on your hand disease in my travels." Said Ryoga.
They all began to look at their hands. Ryoga's said strength, Ranma's said speed, and Mousse's said wisdom. When combined with Shane's weapons the words made up the basics of combat. These were taught to young students as the basis of all combat. All four of these made up the outcome of all battles. They all knew this...but why were they showing up on their hands? They were quitly pondering this when Shane's body began to pulse. They finally noticed but it was to late. Darkness soon came to each one of them.
When they awoke they found themselves in a hallway. There was barely any light, but it was enough to see. Thats when they noticed their chlothing had changed. Gone were their normal attire, and replaced by some sort of medevil soldier uniform. They each had a long sleeve silk shirt which was covered by a chest plate, silk pants, combat boots, and each had a weapon. Ranma had nun chucks, while Mousse had a bo staff, and Ryoga had knuckle bracers. They each looked at each other, then at themselves, and then back to eachother. To say their were confused would be like saying blood was red...it was obvious. After reagaining their senses, and taking a look at their surroundings, they set off down the hallway. They were each to stunned to say anything. When they reached the end of the hallway they saw Shane. He was in a similar out as them Now with the extra light thy could see their outfits better. Mousse's was blue while Ranma's was red and Ryoga's was yellow. Shane's outfit was pitch black. Mousse was the first to ask.
"You're Shane correct?" he asked Shane turned arounds with a smile on his face...and shook his head no.
"I am sorry I am not Shane, but it is good to see you three again. It has been a while." The three stared at him.
"Dude you ok? I'm pretty sure your Shane...and you never met Ryoga or Mousse before." said Ranma.
"You are correct. I have never met Ryoga or Mousse, but I have met Strength, Speed, and Wisdom before." said the man.
"Ok then...if you are not Shane...where is he?" asked Mousse. The man's face became grim.
"He is fighting the demon within himself." said the man.
"You mean like his evil side or something?" asked Ryoga. The man turned towards them.
"No. I mean the demon that is bound to his soul." with that said the three looked shocked. A demon bound to someones soul? Who would do that to somebody? Mousse was the first to recover.
"Why is there a demon bound to his soul...and who are you?" the man had a smile on his face once more.
"Well to answer one of your questions...I am called Weapon. To answer the other I shall have to tell you a tale. You all know about his swordsman style correct?" they all nodded. "Ok. Then let me tell you of the legend of the Demon Blade. Long ago in the early years of Japan, a dark shadow was casted over the land. It came in the form of a demon. Now this demon for some reason could not be killed. If its body was dstroyed it would find a new host and then terror would once again reign. But then one man came and vanquished the demon. He was known as Akurei Yukashii. But instead of letting the soul find a new host, he bound it within his own soul, and so the demon was gone once and for all. But Akurei found out that bounding this demon to his soul came with a heavy price. He gained immortality. Now you always hear of people wanting to gain immortality. But this devustated Akurei. He stayed young while he watched his loved ones grow old and die. Thus one year he found a successor and bound the demon within his soul, thus beggining the tradition. With the demon gone from his soul he was finally able to rest. So the way it works is that you must first learn the sword style that Akurei invented himself, and be pure of heart. You had to be pure of heart because of the swords that the style uses. These were the original swords that Akurei used to defeat the demon, and thus were staind with the demons blood. The blood made the swords have a link with the demon, giving the swords its power, but also its lust for blood. Those with any hint of darkness in their heart would be corrupted and the terror would begin again. So the apprentice would purge themselves of all darkness. This took many years and much discipline. The master then would pass down the demon, and the swords, to be granted rest. The reason only the grandmaster can use the swords is the demon itself. The demon would prevent the swords from corrupting the grandmaster, and their hearts remained pure. Did you all catch that?" with a stunned nod from all of them he looked towards the door at the end of the hallway. The rest of them notticed this.
"He's behind that door fighting isn't he?" asked Mousse. The others looked at Weapon.
"Yes he is...and I am afraid he is losing, and there is nothing I can do to help him..." he said downtroden.
"Why can't you help him?" asked Ranma. The same question was on the other two minds as well. Weapon looked at them again.
"I can not for I am only a memory. A memory of what he used to be." The others looked at him strangely.
"What do you mean?" asked Ryoga.
"I am only a memory of himself from long ago. Just as you are dressed as your past selves. We used to be the strongest soldiers the Moon empire had. Sadly we saccrificed ourselves during the final fight to give the Queen enough time to cast her spell. Though I didn'y know she was sending us foreward too..." They were confused again, which was happenening alot lately. Soldiers? Moon empire? Queen? None of this made sense to them, but what did make sense was that there was a fellow warrior behind that door. They all looked at eachother, nodded, and started walking towards the door. Weapon looked at them.
"What are you thre doing! There's a demon behind this door!" he shouted. Ranma looked at him with a grin on his face.
"There is no way I'm gonna let his body be takin over by some dumb demon. Akane would kill me." The other two nodded and entered the room Weapon had a smile on his face.
"Looks like it will begin again..."
