Cologne sighed as she was overlooking her granddaughter as she stood before her now.
"My daughter where is she" Shampoo's mother demanded
"The child you abandoned years ago once again why to want her now," Cologne asked
The sudden downpour seem to get worse as Shampoo's mom got even angrier at her grandmother's word
"You left the village and turned on your people for that person. Why want something from us now? Thought you cut off all ties with us after you were told not to go by both me and your own mother" Cologne said
"It was an honor to be allowed to join them as it is what our ancestors would have wanted us to do" she answered
"Not so sure that they would have been proud that you agree to join them though. Given how the story of our ancestor's described them as well as the one that found a second chance at life with them" her grandmother stated
"Stories are just stories no one knows anymore how true those stories even are" Shampoo's mother spoke.
You are not wrong about that as no one can currently tell us how true the stories of the past are at this moment at least Cologne said with a sigh
At this Shampoo's mom noticed her wording but brushed it off before going back to her original reasoning for being here
"Where is my daughter as she seemed to have grown far more powerful in recent years" she stated
"She is somewhere recovering from her ordeal but really how did you even know about her," the Amazon elder asked
Shampoo's mom then smirked as then Cologne's eyes grew wide at the shock of what that could have meant. Given the people her mother runs with it was possible that the group that was behind what happened to her, Ranma, Toph, and Akane were related somehow and in some way.
It would then make sense how someone that had seen or heard from their own daughter in years would know how she was doing but at the same time not realized the full extent of it all. Did she really know what happened to her own daughter and did not go to help her out even if it was just her?
"I would have helped my child by having her placed under my wing to do as I say. Seems not to inform everyone that I even have a kid backfire on me though" Shampoo's mom said sighing.
She did not want a mother daughter reunion but instead was thinking of how she could have Shampoo be more useful to her and by extension the one she followed and left her family and people behind for.
"Could you tone it down as this does not make it easier to talk with you?" a new voice said
"Then why do not they just get stronger than as that what I did after all" she replied to them
"Not everyone is you nor should they be as I knew you had this streak in you but to let it go to this extent," they said
"Should not have let you coddle her when she was younger as then she might not have been caught in the first place" she said looking at them annoyed.
"Son-in-law," Cologne said
As Shampoo's father appeared before his former wife and Cologne.
"She was young and a kid so, of course, I would treat her like one. Though she almost went down a similar path as you but kept from it though" he said
"Probably but that couple's kid as they were always close and he was holding her back" she said annoyed at this
Neither Shampoo's father nor Cologne was aware of just why her mother turned out like this. They could not help but wonder if maybe it had something to do with her own mother and Cologene's daughter. They were both told the stories of the past and seem to be inspired by them. However, the direction that inspiration lead them was down an unexpected path it seems
Would Shampoo's grandmother had followed the same or similar path in life as her own child? What if the fact that she was not a bender led to her desires that could not ever be fulfilled were something she placed on her own child, Shampoo's mother?
"Are you going to tell where my daughter is either one of you? Do I have to force it out of you" Shampoo's mother said
Just as the downpour got even worse all of sudden it then just clear up as suddenly as it happened. At this Shampoo's mom seem somewhat annoyed as she then left as quickly as she had arrived at the village.
"They must be nearby as well it seems," Cologne said sighing
"Really what are they doing around here and just allow us to get off like this" Shampoo's father asked
That was not something either one of them was aware of nor did they have a solid idea of why they would allow something like this to pass it seems. Though one thing is for sure is that Shampoo's mother certainly did get far stronger than she ever was then when she was still a member of this village.
Whatever she was being or had been taught left her in seemingly a league of her own as she was controlling the weather based solely on her emotions alone. Not only that it was not taking anything out of her to do nor did it seem to be that mass of a drain of her stamina.
Yet the real warning might have been the one that caused it to vanish as just as quickly as it had appeared. Almost as if saying that they can do whatever they want to the village at the mere thought of it. Stopping the sudden and heavy downpour was just the positive side of things though. It was to show that it would be great to remain on their side but cross them and there will be a price that they might not be able to pay at all.
