Kasumi Tendo, Also known as Sorceresses Looked at a small glow ball of spiritual energy.
In truth she was holding Ranma curse form. Kasumi frowned as the ball of light started to "talk" to her. "I don't understand, Are you sure this is what you want." Kasumi asked the small spirit.
Again the ball set off a series of glows.
"As you wish, but I must warn you that you'll have the same powers as Ranma. Even his skills, and memories." Kasumi said once more. Again the small ball gave off a another series of glows.
"Very well. I will give you life tonight." With that the small ball flew into a pendent around Kasumi's neck.
Interlude 2: The End of the Chaos.
Three months after Ranma disappeared.
Part One: Here's Ranko.
Akane Tendo was kneeling at her mothers shrine. Praying and deep in thought. Ever since Ranma left there seems to be more and more weird things happening. Still Akane could handle the would be kidnappers that came to take Akane away.
Kasumi her eldest Sister could handle The hunters that came to the city to kill or capture the local mutants, and worst yet Kuno was still chasing after her. Akane wasn't the same person she once was. After challenging and soundly beating Happosai She became the grandmaster of the Anything Go School of martial arts.
And with Kasumi help Happosai taught the youngest Tendo in the time vortex. What would have taking years to learn was learn in a matter of days. And with a sound hair to the school Happosai seem to have died a week later. That in it self was also weird.
The crazies was leaving Nerima, A town that seem to be full of weirdness seem to becoming a normal town. It was like as soon as Ranma left that things started to become almost normal.
With a heavy sigh Akane got up and left the Dojo. She missed her way word friend with the pigtail, hopefully Nabiki can fine him.
An hour later.
For some reason Kasumi was walking with her sisters. She wanted to see how bad this Kuno person can be. Kasumi looked up at Akane as she walked on the fence. She couldn't help but smile. "My Akane you sure pick up the habit of walking on a fence." Kasumi said then Akane laughed. "The baka sure knew what he was doing. This really is good balance training." Akane said with a smile.
Nabiki kept quiet. She was having the hardest time finding Ranma. She been watching the nightly news ans the Case of Hunter attacks keep growing. She hoped and prey that Ranma wasn't one of the many who died under the attacks. By the time she would get a lead it would go cold.
About a month ago all three girls got their things back. Surprisingly there was also some Yen
with it. It was enough for Herself and Akane to go tho collage.
Akane was so upset that Ranma returned her things that she cursed herself for not relishing what she had. Even now. She knew about P-chan being Ryoga now. Now they were dating and for some reason it felt empty.
Kasumi looked at her younger sister thing. If everything goes well there should be a new friend for Akane. And hopefully Kasumi will have an Allie when the Hunters came back.
As they neared the school the three saw The eldest of the two Kunos, in full samurai gear.
"Ah, So its true that the fair Akane Tendo is being led by a witch. You will release Akane Tendo and the pig tail girl at once." Kasumi blink. " Mr. Kuno you will reform from talking to me like that." Kasumi said. Kuno took a Stance. "Begone thy evil beast or that I well have to smite thee in the name of Heaven." Kasumi can't believe she let this idiot in her home all those times ago.
"Heaven is on my side You brainless idiot. Powers or no powers your no match for me, and you will leave my sister alone." Kasumi stated. Now for those of you just turning in Kasumi is no longer pretending to be the sweet and Innocent young woman she was. Countless fights with the Hunters and even her own father she let the mask drop so to speak. "How dare you speak to me that way you foul beast. Oh yes this one knows your secret Kasumi Tendo."
Kasumi was about to lose it. This maniac some how found out about her. Kasumi then smiled thinking of a plan to help this idiot. She smiled in hoping that this would work. "Yes Kuno, I am a sorceresses. In fact I'll shale give you a Sample of my power."
Kuno started laughing. "Please do Foul creator of hell for I hold the power of Heaven on my side. Surely the gods have blessed me."
Kasumi smile never did drop her smile. She then to start glowing in her blue aura.
The words she used next made the whole student body back away. The evil grin on both Akane and Nabiki never stopped.
"Darkness beyond twilight, crimson beyond blood that flows,"
A bright orange glow began in Kasumi's. hands "Buried in the flow of time. In thy great name,
I pledge myself to darkness." The glow began to expand and form into a small cone.
"Let all the fools, Who stand in our way, Be destroyed By the power you and I possess."
The glow suddenly exploded into a bright white blast of energy.
"DRAGON SLAVE!" The Spell was released in a classic anime style move, with her hands held out in front of her, not only did the spell work it hit Kuno dead on in a blinding light.
When all was said and done a smoking Kuno breathed out a puff of smoke. "I...Fight on"
The True blunder said. "Yeah right." Akane said as she blow on Kuno who fell down on his back.
"Oh my, I think I over did it." Kasumi said. She didn't notice several people face vaulted at that.
Kasumi stood outside of Kuno's office. She could hear several people shouting at the old man. Kasumi had to smile at this. Finally he was getting what was coming to him.
After a while these people left the office, not ten minutes pass that an announcement was heard over the PA System. The Students made their way to the gym. Everyone was shocked that the school Broad of Education Stood at a podium.
Even more shocking was the fact that Kuno been sacked. The school was gonna go though major changes as well and for the time being every student would get an early summer break. Cheers went all around and some people gave looks at Kasumi. Who in turn just smiled. As for Kuno, well he was expelled and was sent to a insane asylum along with Kuno sister.
With Kuno now out of the way Akane was sure to fine peace.
After school was over Kasumi made her way to the Cat café. She wanted to ask the Amazons something. She needed to do this. "Hello Kasumi Tendo and what beings you here." The Elder Amazon asked. Kasumi bowed. "I was wondering if you have a strain of hair from Ranma girl half." Kho Lon looked thoughtful for a second. "I think I might. Please wait right here."
"What does nice girl Kasumi want with red hair?" Shampoo said. Kasumi smiled. "Now, Thats a secret." Kasumi said as Shampoo hit the floor. The elder smiled. "Not many people can do that to her." She said as she handed a piece of hair to the eldest Tendo sister. With a Smile Kasumi left, only to be stopped by Uyko. "Okay sugar time to tell me where My Ran-chan is hiding." The chef said getting ready to draw her weapon. Kasumi crossed her arms. "I clearly remember that Ranma has clearly called off all engagements."
Uyko looked at her. "You must have brained washed him or something Mutant." With a heavy sigh Kasumi stepped back. "Let me guess you don't believe Ranma was telling the truth and that he still in love with you?" This was getting old. Since the truth came out about Kasumi powers she hadn't had a moments rest.
Even though The attack of the Hunters stop she was tired of being attack by Ranma's enemies.
If it wasn't for the training at Xavier School as an X-man or in this case a X-woman, she probably would have been dead. "Uyko you need to grow up. You know me, I would never use My powers like that. You have to face facts that Ranma never loved you and that he did move on. Or rather kicked out."
"YOU LIE!" Uyko started to attack Kasumi, who in turn stepped out range. It was times like this that Kasumi wore bracers on her arm. Kasumi spin kicked the weapon away from Uykos hands then she jump in the air with her fist held out on her way down Hitting the sidewalk instead of Uyko as she moved out of the way. Kasumi looked up as she landed. Smiling Kasumi Placed her hands on the sidewalk then Called out a spell which Started lighting up and exploded right under Uyko.
With a scream Uyko threw Knives at Kasumi who in turn put up a shield of some kind.
"Give it up Uyko you can't win this Meaningless fight." Kasumi yelled. "Meaningless? MEANINGLESS? You Took Ranma away from me." Uyko yell as she ran at Kasumi once more with her baker peel held high. Kasumi sighed. She held out her hand and called "Fireball." Softly A fire ball came from Kasumi hand and hit Uyko dead on. "Listen Uyko. I didn't take Ranma away. Do I love him? Yes But like a little brother. You see Uyko Im married. So get over Ranma before it kills you." With that Kasumi left.
Kasumi's next stop was Dr. Tofu's office to return a book that he leaded her.
"Hello Dr." Kasumi said. "Hello Kasumi, what can I do for you today?" The Doctor asked. Ever since he learn that Kasumi was married his odd behavior seem to have disappeared. "Just returning the book you let me used." Dr. Tofu smiled. "Any luck this time? He asked.
"Nope. As far as anyone can tell is that Mutation is just other step in evolution. Thanks for letting me use your Books Tofu San." Kasumi said. " I have to get going I have to prepare for tonight."
That Night.
"Father remember I need the Dojo for tonight." Kasumi said as she placed that nights dinner on the Table. "What for Sis?" Nabiki asked. "Now That's a Secret." and once again Kasumi had to look down at her family with a sweat drop. "Mister Saotome. Seeing as that this is your last night here, I gave you an extra helping." Kasumi said as she place bamboo, in front of him. The Panda slowly ate its meal. The person he once was didn't make it though Kasumi attack. Genma was now Just a panda with the help of the cat tongue. Soon He well be going to a nice Zoo thanks to Nabiki.
No Sooner as the meal was eaten that Kasumi went to the Dojo. She was carrying a bag along with her. Once in the Dojo Kasumi locked the door and stepped to the middle of the dojo. Once there she drew a circle with a star in it. This was a high class spell, and she knew it would take a lot out of her. 'Who said that being a class Alpha mutant was fun, HA!' Kasumi thought to herself.
With everything ready Kasumi turned off her inhibitor. She could feel her mutant powers returning once more that day. With a Smile she started on her spell.
(Author Notes: Sorry if this sounds bad I been working on this part for awhile now.)
From darkness to light,
from cold to warmth,
Come forth so that you my live
the life that was given but was lost
when darkness took you.
"SOUL REBORN!" a blinding flash felled the small room. In the meddle of the room though a figure started to form, soon long red hair could be seen as it grew in Leigh. When it stopped at the middle of the young woman's back the spell was complete. Kasumi then grabbed a blanket she had bought with her and some of Ranma old clothing that he left.
In a gentle voice. "Do you know who you are?" Kasumi asked. The red hair looked at Kasumi and smiled. In a too familiar voice the young woman answered. "You bet Kasumi. I'm Ranko Saotome of the Saotome School of anything goes Martial arts and Sister to Ranma." Ranko Said.
Kasumi Smiled.
"Thank you Kasumi. Removing me from Ranma was the best thing to happen. When I was killed all the years ago I couldn't rest, and my soul swore revenge. Being a mystic must have helped you see that." Ranko said as she hugged Kasumi.
An Hour past and Kasumi once again meet with her family.
"Everyone There is someone I like you to meet." Kasumi said as she moved away from the door.
Everyone eyes widen as they saw a small red haired teen standing there in a Red chines shirt with a Dragon wrapped around the front and back. Black pants that looked to big on her and black slipper on her feet. "Ho Im Ranko Saotome, Sorry about this." It wasn't until she spoke those words that it became clear that this was Ranma's curse form. And that on this day two years ago was the day that Ranma entered there lives.
Part Two: Living the rest of their lives.
Six months after Ranma left.
(This is the last part of Nerima.)
Kasumi Tendo Stood in front of a grave. Tears fell from her eyes as she read the name on the tombstone.
Soun Tendo
Beloved husband and father.
One mouth ago The Tendo Dojo was attacked that cost Soun his life, Injuring both Akane and Nabiki. In the attack Akane lost her left eye, while Nabiki was worst. It cost her the use of her legs as a beam from the house fell on her. While Both of them would live the guilt was there.
Ranko was a big help. Unlike Ranma Ranko gained full control over her powers. Ranko was with her sisters at the cat café while she was here. They lost everything in the attack and with unpaid bills The Tendo Dojo was lost.
Kasumi wasn't planing on staying anymore. She had to leave in order to protect the city as well as her family. "Excuse me miss, Did you know this man." Someone asked. Kasumi looked up to see that it was Miss Haniko ( ?) Akane's School teacher in her adult form. "Miss Haniko?" Kasumi asked. The teacher looked up as she placed the flowers at the grave.
"Kasumi? My the rumors are true, You're an X-man." Kasumi smiled and then nodded. "Yes. Almost six years ago Professor Summers gave me a visit and told me the truth about myself. Since I came back I been helped Nerima as mush as I could. But I couldn't help my father."
The school teacher looked at Kasumi.
"Now thats not true. I heard what happen. Those monsters are no better then that terrorist Magneto." Kasumi smiled. Two years ago Magneto tried to destroy the world though the Magnet field that ran though the world unless he was given Gensha. Sadly It was given to him. "I know what you mean, having fought him myself." Kasumi said.
The Teacher nodded. "There's another rumor going around that your leaving."
Kasumi nodded. "Yes. Elder Kho lon is going to look after Akane and Nabiki from me until I get settled back at the school." Haniko looked at Kasumi. "Sorry can't tell you much more. Top secret and all that." Kasumi told the teacher with a smile.
A Few hours later.
"How will you get there?" Akane asked. Kasumi looked at her sister and smiled. "Im flying there." She said. Akane blinked. "But you said your powers are limited." Kasumi laughed and hit a button on her arm under the wrist. No sooner did she hit it that a small mini Jet that was black and red land in the empty lot near the café.
"Wow. You never told me you could fly a jet." Akane said looking over the mini jet. Kasumi shrugged her shoulders. "I learned at the school. Professor Summers wanted everyone to learn how to fly. Well expect maybe Jubilee, she never did get the hang of it." Kasumi said.
Akane looked at her sister. "What about fly zones?" Kasumi smiled at her sister. "Stealth mode, no weapons. Yet." Kasumi said which caused her sister to look at her again. "It's a proto type designed for my team and Blackwolf's." Kasumi said. Putting her bag in the jet along with Ranko's Kasumi looked at her sister.
"Akane please watch Nabiki okay. She's really depressed over fathers death and My leave."
Akane nodded. Akane knew what Nabiki was going though. Both Nabiki and Akane was able to get jobs at the café but they may never get their dream jobs. Then there was the fact that they had no Idea when and if the Amazons was gonna go back to China.
"Once I get everything ready and permission from Professor Summers I'll send for you." Kasumi said as she hugged her sister. Akane hugged her back. "If, if you see Ranma tell him I said high and that I miss having the baka around." Kasumi looked at Akane. Akane shook her head. "He is a good friend but I don't love him." Akane said.
Open seeing Ranko wheeling Nabiki over to them she guess it was time to say good bye.
"Well K-Chan I said my good byes to Nabiki now its your turn." Ranko said with a smile.
Kasumi smiled back as she saw Ranko lead Akane way so they can have some small girl talk before leaving. Turning to the middle Tendo daughter Kasumi gave a sad smile to Nabiki. "I'm sorry." Nabiki looked up at her older sister. "Huh?"
Kasumi knelt next to Nabiki and took her hand. "Im Sorry. If it wasn't for me you'll be walking around collecting money for the Dojo." Kasumi said. Nabiki shook her head. "I don't blame you Kasumi." Nabiki said. Giving the middle daughter a hug Kasumi stood up. "I'll see you in a few week, an month at most." Kasumi said. Nabiki smiled. Even though Kasumi knew it was forced.
Jumping in the Jet and started it up Ranko jumped in after her. "Im gonna miss them." Ranko said. Kasumi took one last look before the hatched closed. "So will I Ranko." Using VTOL the jet took off to the west. "Good luck Kasumi." Akane said as she took her sister back to the café.
Author Notes: FINALLY! Umm Sorry but after a month of doing nothing I finally got this out. Now comes the hard part. In case you don't know X-men has changed over the years and story lines and stuff like that has also been changed.
