No matter what he tried, nothing he did even phased the Saffron the Phoenix god. Ranma shot another look at the little doll that Akane had become as he dodged another fireball the size of house. He didn't have much time left, her eyes were almost closed. He had to save her soon or-NO! He couldn't allow himself to think like that! He wasn't going to let anyone die. He couldn't let anyone die. Suddenly he felt the heat much worse than before. Mentally he chided himself while his mouth and body ran on autopilot. He couldn't allow himself to get distracted, he had to concentrate on the fight or he would lose his Soul of Ice. Ranma reached deep inside himself, drew once again on his Ki reserves, and renewed his chilly aura. Ranma had an idea in mind that might allow him to beat Saffron, a revised Hiriyu Shouten Ha might do the trick, but he would have to catch Saffron off guard for it to work so he would only get one shot. The problem was that he couldn't get his aura cold enough to be sure that he would finish Saffron off. Ranma reached out with his mind and began to 'borrow' Ki from the Earth itself in a revised version of the technique Happosai uses to drain women(1) as he had in the past. This time however was different, his in his need he absorbed more of the Earth's Ki than was wise, and his Ki began to harmonize with the multiverse without him realizing it.
AN: please put any and all reviews under the first chapter, for now, all of the prologues will be merged into one chapter when I finish the third one.
