Hero of the Races.
"So do you have any other surprises Ranma?" asked Kasumi in wonder.
"Well I guess I have one more I can tell you guys." said Ranma with a grin.
"Oh really?What's that boy?" asked Genma, hoping it was more money.
"Pops I would like you to meet your daughter-in-law." said Ranma hugging Rose to his side as she blushed shyly.
"What!" yelled the Tendos and Genma.
Ranma and the members of his group knew that Ranma being married would have come as a bit of shock, but not as big as some of the Tendo's and Genma were acting.
Nabiki and Soun were acting like there worlds had crumbled.
Soun was on the floor crying his eyes out about how the schools couldn't be joined and all was lost. Nabiki was cursing fate for taking away her chance of getting a rich husband that wasn't Kuno.
Genma's and Akane's reaction on the other hand was making Ranma's face grow grim.
"Oh, how could my son be so dishonorable and marry some kind of freak!" said Genma, mock crying.
"I knew you were some kind of perverted monster, marrying a freak like that." said Akane.
They both again decided to try and correct Ranma's ways in the only way they knew how. By force.
They both rushed at him, one to teach his son a lesson and the other to kill a pervert.
Ranma glared at the two of them growling and started to gather magic in his hands. His friends, seeing what he was doing, slowly backed away.
"Blast Wave LVL 1!" yelled Ranma and a huge pillar of fire burst from his body, covering Akane and Genma in flames.
The two were blasted back out of the house and into the koi pond. They were both charred black, with wisps of smoke rising from their bodies.
While Ranma was recovering from his anger he was suddenly grabbed by a crying projectile.
"Oh how could you do that to my daughter and your father?" cried Soun.
"They're lucky. I could have killed them in a second." said Ranma coldly.
"What?" asked Nabiki in fear.
"You see, on my journey in Azeroth I didn't just learn about the cultures of each race. I learned every way to fight." said Ranma strongly.
"What do you mean?" asked Kasumi
"I can call nature to do my bidding, demons to devour my enemys, hunt any creature alive, fight with honor, fight from the shadows, use magic, make machines from nothing, transform myself to become one with nature. These are just a handful of the fighting techniques I have mastered." said Ranma
"Demons?" muttered Nabiki
"Transform?" asked Kasumi
"Here, let me show you." said Ranma
He closed his eyes and concentrated. He was soon covered in a blue glow that covered his entire body so entirely that you couldn't even see him.
Slowly the light faded and they could see how Ranma had changed. Instead of Ranma there was a giant cat that slowly fell onto it's four feet.
Kasumi walked over to the cat and looked down at it. Then with more speed then most would think was possible she grabbed the cat.
"KITTY!" yelled Kasumi as she hugged the cat for all she was worth.
Everyone around her face faulted in shock. The Tendos for forgetting about Kasumi's love of anything feline and Ranma's group for someone loving a monster of a cat just by looking at it.
And Ranma was a monster of a cat. His shoulders were just below where Kasumi's chest would have been if she was standing.
He had black and blue striped fur that covered every part of his body and two giant fangs coming out of his mouth. Ranma could only sweat drop at the attention he was getting from Kasumi.
After a few minutes they were finally able to pry Kasumi from Ranma and he changed back to a human.
"Awwwwwww." whined Kasumi as he changed back.
"Well now that we have that cleared up, can you go fish my father and Akane out of the pool Kir?" asked Ranma as he straightened out his clothes.
Kir nodded and pulled the two black bodies out of the koi pond and set them on the ground. Ranma walked over to them and placed his hands above their bodies as they started to glow green.
"What are you doing?" asked Nabiki in alarm. Was he going to finish the job?
"Just healing them." said Ranma as the burns on Genma's and Akane's bodies started to fade.
"They should be all better in the morning." said Ranma as his hands stopped glowing.
"That's good." said Kasumi as she covered them in a blanket.
"Now if we could get to the living situation." said Ranma as he sat down next to Rose.
Nabiki nodded her head and sat down across from him. But before she could say anything her father spoke up.
"Why my boy, you'll be living here with your fiancée." said Soun, patting Ranma's back
"Actually, Rose is my wife, not my fiancée." said Ranma, wondering how Soun had gotten behind him so fast.
"But Ranma, you're supposed to marry one of my girls!" cried Soun.
Everyone blinked in confusion.
"What are you talking about daddy?" asked Nabiki with ice in her voice.
"Yes father what are you talking about?" asked Kasumi with a frown.
"Well you see, Genma and I made a vow that we would join the two schools of anything goes by having any children we have wed each other." said Soun in a meek voice.
"But father, Ranma is already married, he can't marry one of us." said Kasumi.
"But...but what about the school?" asked Soun
"I'm sorry Mister Tendo, but I am not going to leave my wife to marry someone else because of a school of martial arts I don't even practice. No offense" said Ranma to Nabiki and Kasumi.
"Its ok." said Nabiki and Kasumi nodded.
"Now while your home is large, I don't think it will be able to hold all of us so we will have to find a place to live." said Ranma
"True, but you should spend the night because I won't be able to change your gold to money until tomorrow and you shouldn't be seen handing out gold coins to pay for things." said Nabiki
Ranma sighed.
"I guess you're right, we would be very pleased to stay in the dojo. I am sorry to be a nuisance to you all." said Ranma
"Oh no, we have plenty of room in the house. We have one extra room, the one Genma sleeps in, and the front room which could hold a few of you." said Kasumi
Ranma wanted to argue, he really did, but the way Kasumi talked he just couldn't refuse her.
"Thank you very much Kasumi-chan." said Ranma.
"It's no trouble at all." said Kasumi.
From there everyone sat and talked about meaningless things. Kasumi especially liked talking to Rose who was the cook for their group.
Eventually the all felt tired and went to sleep. Ranma and Rose took Genma's room since he wasn't using it. Shenron and Mary (to Shenron's protest) took the empty room. The rest spread out across the front room.
...A world away.
A mountain stood tall in the frozen north lands of Azeroth. Around it's base all manner of evil creatures crawled around, building fortifications.
In the hall's carved out of the mountain even more monsters stood standing guard for any attack. At the top of the mountain a giant ice throne stood.
A colossal being sat on the thrown covered in fur and armor with a giant sword laying on his knees. This was Arthas the Lich King!
He sat on this frozen throne, mulling over recent events. He was now the Lich King ruler of the northern lands, and was growing in power everyday.
As he contemplated his plans to take control of Azeroth a burst of flame appeared before him. In the flame he could make out the face of a demon.
"Kil'Jaden, what do you want?" said Arthas in a bored tone.
"Something has happened that affects us both, boy." said Kil'Jaden in a condescending tone.
"And what would that be?" asked Arthas, not caring the least.
"A prophecy that was made at the beginning of your world." said Kil'Jaden
"And what prophecy is that?" asked Arthas, still not caring.
"It goes like this: When the land is in turmoil, when demons, and the dead walk. A warrior will rise up to try and stop the plague but become its greatest ally. Then the most powerfully demon will come to gain the power of the great tree but will fail by the uniting of the races. Then the fallen one will become a king of evil and soon all the land may perish. But a warrior will come from another world, will come and save all live. He will destroy the undead king and the demons, bringing peace to be known for all time." said Kil'Jaden
"As you can see, most of this prophecy had come true already." said Kil'Jaden "You are the undead king, Archimonde was the great demon."
Arthas was much more interested now.
"What about this warrior from another world, what do you make of that?" asked Arthas.
"He to has come and if we don't work together we will both perish." said Kil'Jaden
"And who is this warrior from another would?" asked Arthas.
"A human called Ranma Satome." said Kil'Jaden.
Arthas froze at that name.
"Did you say Ranma?" asked Arthas in a cold voice.
"You know about him?" asked Kil'Jaden.
"I've lost a hundred miles of my territory from that human alone! He came out of nowhere attacking my bases!" screamed Arthas.
"Well then you can see how we will have to work together to defeat him." said Kil'Jaden.
"Yes, do you have any idea where he is now?" asked Arthas.
"All we know from our spies is that he has left this world for some time." said the demon lord.
"Very well, I will have my mystics find his location while you and I prepare our forces to follow him." said Arthas.
"I will contact you again in five days." said Kil'Jaden before fading away.
Arthas sat alone thinking about all he had learned. He then looked up with an insane grin.
"Ranma Satome, prepare to die!" screamed Arthas.
A.N. So here it is, the 4th chapter of Hero of the Races. Sorry for the long wait but my pre reader has been flaking on me a lot the past few days. I also had my pre reader go over the three other chapters so they have been improved also. So until the next time please review.
