Chapter 28: Prelude to battle
Disclaimer: You all know the drill
Authors note: To the end to the end I'll journey to the end… sorry about that 'turns off CD player' I was just listening to some RANCID… anyway this chapters set a few weeks after the last chapter, nearly there at the end folks.
The Amazons found out what Cologne did and they were not happy with her and Shampoo and Mousse, the latter who were basically the last of the NWC, meanwhile in the other camp Ranma and company were making the final plans.
"What about the Elders?" Saffron asked.
"Leave them to me, I've got the perfect spell." Ranma said.
"Okay then." Herb said before they get back to business about the upcoming brawl with what's left of the Amazons who were still holding out and little did Ranma and Mara know that the gods, goddesses, demons and demonesses were placing bets on what would happen. Once business about the upcoming battle was over they went their separate ways, Ranma and Mara went to the quarters where they slept.
"What do you plan on doing?" Mara asked.
"You'll find out." Ranma replied when a lighting bolt just missed Mara scaring her.
"He's got a good aim." Mara said.
"You don't know the half of it Mara." Ranma replied.
"Two guesses who it's from?" Mara told Ranma.
"I only need one, and Thor has a good aim but not that good." Ranma replied as he wondered what the message was about and went to se what it said.
"What's it about?" Mara asked.
"Setsuna's gone into labor." Ranma replied.
"Aren't you going to see her?" Mara said.
"Setsuna's in good hands." Ranma replied as he lay down on the makeshift bed and Mara climbed into the makeshift bed with him before he wrapped his arms around the blonde haired demoness.
"Don't die." Mara said.
"You know I won't." Ranma told Mara, he then lightly kissed her head.
Nifelheim
The almighty one sent a message to Hild about the situation at the moment and she was happy about the news when a demon walked into her office.
"Hild-Sama, here's the report you wanted about your son." The demon said and watched Hild as she giggled like a little school girl "err, I'll just leave it right here.' The demon said and left the report on her desk and left quite quickly "that was scary." The demon said to himself. Once Hild calmed down she looked around to see what the demon wanted then noticed the file on her desk and picked it up before reading through it.
"Oh, this is good." Hild Said.
Midgard
Herb and Saffron were sat at a makeshift table talking about things whilst playing go minus the cheating.
"When this is over, what do you think will happen?" Herb asked.
"I don't know." Saffron replied.
Meanwhile Mara fell asleep in Ranma's arms and he held her close to his body as she slept leaving Ranma to think about the things he had done whilst on Midgard and about Hotaru and everyone he's met over the centuries and begins to think about the future after all his sister is the goddess of the future.
Nekomi
The arguments had stopped at the Morisato household thanks to Belldandy MKII when Skuld got two e-mails, one from their father and one from Belldandy telling them that she had something to tell them when she got back which would be soon.
"Hey Urd, we've got e-mails." Skuld shouted from her computer.
"Who from?" Urd asked as Skuld opened up the e-mail box.
"One's from Father and the other e-mail is from Belldandy." Skuld said.
"Well then, open them up." Urd said and Skuld opened the one from their father first and Skuld read it.
"It says Setsuna's gone into labor, and Ranma's in China fighting." Skuld told Urd.
"Ranma was always one for fighting, what about the other one?" Urd asked making Skuld close the one from their father and open up Bell's e-mail.
"Say's they're coming home soon and Bell's got something to tell us." Skuld replied closing down the e-mails and going back to what she was doing before the e-mails arrived, in the kitchen Kasumi was making a meal whilst humming to herself.
"You're cheerful." Hotaru said.
"Why, shouldn't I be cheerful?" Kasumi replied.
"I never said you didn't have to be cheerful." Hotaru said as she watched Kasumi cook when Urd walked into the kitchen.
"Just thought you might like to know we got a message about Ranma." Urd said.
"How is he?" Hotaru asked.
"Well… we don't know it's just about his whereabouts." Urd replied.
"Oh." Hotaru said.
"Oh yeah, Setsuna's gone into labor." Urd told Hotaru and Kasumi before she left the kitchen leaving Hotaru and Kasumi alone.
China
Ranma left Mara in the bed back in their quarters and walked around for a bit and noticed all the Phoenix and Musk warriors slightly on edge for the upcoming battle between them and the Amazons.
"Ah, so your up." Herb said.
"Well, everyone's edgy about this upcoming battle." Ranma replied.
"Hopefully this will be the last battle." Saffron replied.
"True." Ranma said.
"But what happens afterwards?" Saffron asked.
"I don't really know you're best off asking my sister she specializes in that area." Ranma told Saffron and Herb.
"And who pray tell is your sister?" Herb asked.
"Skuld, goddess of the future and one of the norns." Ranma replied to Herb's question before he proceeded to explain about his sisters.
"Ah I see you have three sisters, so what does that make you?" Saffron asked.
"Me? I'm just a half god and half demon demon." Ranma replied.
"What?" Herb asked.
"I'm half god half demon, bit of a long story." Ranma said.
"We have plenty of time." Saffron said making Ranma sigh.
"Alright, I'll explain everything." He said and began his story about why he's a half god and half demon.
Authors note: It took me a while to write this chapter and the Belldandy MKII reference is something one of my friends said after watching all the OMG series and then watched all the Ranma ½ series… see you in No prayer for the dying…. R&R!
