The Road to Freedom

By The Senshi of Valis

Chapter 19

I don't own W.I.T.C.H. or Ranma 1/2

Will jumped into the portal just as Ranma did after opening up the door and a crowd of people burst in and fell right into Metamoor. They were all in a wide open space a pretty good distance from the city so no one should get hurt that shouldn't. The people that was standing before her though was going to get hurt and badly for all of the torture they put Ranma through.

"Boy, you will do the right thing and marry Akane!" Genma growled. Will had to shake her head, the descriptions she had of these people were excact…even down to the stupidity of most of them.

"I ain't going anywhere with you or that damned tomboy!" Ranma said.

"Don't call me names you pervert!" Akane screamed striking at Ranma with a mallet. The shocked look in Akane's face amused Will as the mallet was stopped and Will buried her fist in the spoiled brat's stomach causing her to buckle and fall to the ground gasping for breath.

"HOW DARE YOU STRIKE MY LITTLE GIRL!" Soun screamed. Will had to admit, that demon head thingy was actually kind of impressive and it probably would have scared Will if not for Ranma warning her about it.

"How dare you talk to my wife that way!" Ranma demanded jumping at Soun kicking him in the face and spinning around to deliver a second kick in Genma's face knocking both men to the ground.

"Foul sorcerer!" Tatewaki cried attacking with his wooden sword.

"Back off, Kuno!" Ryoga demanded punching Tatewaki hard in the face sending him flying.

"I won't let you hussies have my Ran-Chan!" Ukyo growled as she unslung the huge battle spatula strapped to her back.

"Who are you calling hussy you weirdo?" Cornelia demanded, clenching and unclenching fist. "First off, Ranma doesn't belong to anyone. Second, Ranma is married to our friend Will of his own free will…not a word Irma…We will protect them and their happiness from abusive trash like you."

"Airen is Shampoo's not little girl's. If little girl want to get in way then little girl is obstacle and obstacles are for killing." Shampoo growled brandishing a twin set of scimitars.

"Hasn't your momma ever told you not to play with fire?" Taranee smirked as she snapped her fingers causing two red hot sparks to fly to the swords and slowly starts turning them red as they grew hotter and hotter.

"OWWWWW!" Shampoo cried in pain as she threw the two curved swords to the ground and shook her hands for a second in pain as they cooled off, "You pay for that."

"SWEETO!" Happosai cried, bounding toward Irma and grabbing at her chest but a ball of water caught him and held him off the ground incased in it. He clutched at his throat fighting to say something or get free as air bubbles slipped from his mouth. After a few moments Irma released the little troll from the watery prison.

"You little hussies think you can take my Ranma Sama from the black Rose?" Kodachi laughed while spinning her ribbon.

"You really should watch where you're spinning that thing…a stray wind might catch it." Hay Lin said before calling up a gust of wind striking Kodachi and throwing her back.

"Enough of this!" Ukyo cried out as she lunged forward but vines grew from the ground and wrapped around Ukyo trapping her.

"Hold it!" Konatsu said appearing between Ukyo and Cornelia, "I won't let you hurt Ukyo."

"I don't want to hurt anyone, they are the ones attacking." Cornelia said, "I won't hesitate to protect my friends."

"Is Ranma really married?" Konatsu asked.

"Yes, he married our friend Will. His name is Ranma Vandom now." Cornelia said, watching Konatsu closely.

"So he is no longer a Saotome at all now?" Konatsu asked.

"He left the Saotome family for good, he wants nothing to do with them." Cornelia said, "He'a our friend…our family and we will fight for him just as he would fight for us."

"Ukyo…I'd do anything for you…I love you with my entire heart but I can not support you in this. Ranma chose, Ukyo…I'm sorry but it isn't right to try and tear them apart over something that should never have taken place anyways. Genma is the one to blame for your troubles and so is your own father. I really do love you but it's time to stop this. Do you want a childhood friend or an enemy who could kill you with ease?"

"B-But he's mine…He's my Ran…" Ukyo said, breaking down crying as her fingers slowly let lose of the spatula as the vines let go of her. Ukyo dropped into Konatsu's arms as he held her as she cried.

"Shampoo no care what foolish male think…Airen is Amazon property." Shampoo said, taking up a stance across from Taranee.

"Guardians, surrender!" A group of large men called out as they surrounded the group along with a serpent like man.

"More friends?" Akane choked out as she climbed back to her feet, "I'll beat all of them."

"Will…I think it's time for a quick change…" Ranma called as he fought the two fathers.

"Right." Will said holding up the Heart of Candracar, "Guardians Unite!"

A flash of light and five tear shaped orbs of power shot out to each of the guardians surrounding them in a cocoon of power for a few moments then released the five of them in guardian form.

"Stop using cheap tricks!" Akane screamed trying to attack Will who dodged her attack and fell right into a punch from one of Cedric's men.

Ranma quickly knocked both Genma and Soun out and jumped towards Will and helped fight off Akane and the men surrounding them but noticed that the others were all having the same kind of trouble. The Heart of Cassidy started glowing and then another light started glowing from Ranma's pocket. Pulling out the pendant from Frost Ranma looked at the two until the pendant pulled itself to the Heart and sank into it. A bright flash of light exploded and sent out six orbs of power, one to Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, Hay Lin and…Ranma.

When the new cocoons of power faded away each of the girls uniforms changed to resemble robes more, there wings changed from small fairy like wings to large feathery wings, a stripe on each cheek the color of their element and their symbol on their forhead. Ranma, like the other girls changed as well though her uniform looked more like a cross between Will's and Cassidy's.

"What the?" Ranma asked shocked looking at herself.

"Are you okay?" Will asked softly after hurrying over to Ranma's side.

"It doesn't matter what form you take, you will all die here today." Cedric hissed.

"I don't think so." Taranee smirked throwing her hands out. A large blast of fire bigger than anything Taranee was ever able to produce fired from her hands and took the form of a dragon and burned through a great number of guards quickly, cutting Cedric's forces more than half.

"Wow." Irma said, pretty much covering the guardian and Ranma's reaction with that one word.

XXXXXXXXXX

AN: Hi all, hope everyone liked this chapter. I'm not very good with fight scenes or anything like that. So, how does everyone like the guardian's powered up forms? Basically Will uses the Heart of Candracar to change them into the normal guardians. For the time being when they are in enough trouble Ranma can use the Heart of Cassidy to enhance their powers which also changes their form and Ranma's as well but since the Heart of Cassidy doesn't have much power it won't last long when used and it can't be used constantly without recharging. If The Heart of Cassidy is used by itself it just acts as the Heart of Candracar though since that is basically what it is. Sorry if that sounds confusing.

Until Next Time,
