And now without further delay, I want an A, on with the story.

The Visit and The Start.

It was 8 o'clock when Jean got back to his flat in Paris. He checked mail, started the laundry, and fired up his computer. On the flight back he kept wondering what was on the disk he had been given. He knew that the people that where targeted had to hard to get too just on the amount that had been wired to his account. He then inserted the disk. What he saw shocked him the man wanted him to destroy, Hereford, the home of the British SAS, one of the most heavily guarded places on earth. It was also home to a group called Rainbow Six, also known as The Men of Black.

He remembered when they had first shown up. When they first showed up it had been in Switzerland, from there they rampaged across Europe, with a string of victories they shocked the terrorist world too the core. No body could operate in Europe, or any NATO country. Only once had they taken any hits, and that was at the hands of some Irish terrorists.

This information was about a year old and he would need up to date information. He decided to make some use of his contacts in different armies around the world. He wanted to see if any others had been put on temporary loan to the British government. In this he could see who was part of this group and exploit there weaknesses.

Hereford, England. The Saotome House

The phone was ringing so Akane went to go answer it.

"Hello" Akane said on picking up the phone.

Hey sis, I know that your English is pretty good, but you don't have to practice on me Said the other person on the line. I was just calling to checkup on you, that's all. So how's life on England?>

Well it's pretty nice over here, Nabiki. The only real problem that we've encountered is the rain. It's like it never stops.> Akane told her sister. Almost every morning there was a lite shower. She had found out that this was the areas monsoon season and would be for a few more weeks. Well, how's everything at home?>

Well, Dad is teaching again and Mr. Saotome is helping him. They really have improved. I think that dad meeting miss. Hinako was the best thing that happened to him. He's really turned around. Oh by the way, they're planning on giving you a surprise visit next week. I decided to let you know because of what happened to you.> Said Nabiki.

Thanks Nabiki. Ranma has been busy. He's been doing a lot of training. You should have seen the look on the faces of the others when he pulled one of his stunts. I can't tell you over the phone, but I'll tell you when you get here>. Akane had figured out who was coming already. She knew it would Mr. and Mrs. Saotome, her dad and Miss. Hinako, and Kasumi and Dr. Tofu.

How did you know that I was coming along sis?> Her little sister had really grown up, so much in fact that she could tell that she was coming when she hadn't told her that she was. She had probably figured out who was coming by now.

It was in your voice. Look I've got to go. I've got to do some shopping I'll see you next week, okay sis, bye.> Said Akane. She really had to do some shopping, they where almost out of food.

Okay sis, see you next week then.> +Click+ Nabiki wondered what might happen while they where there. She knew that something was always happening around Ranma. She also knew that if something hadn't happened already, something would very soon.

A week later

Well, here we are Nodoka. This is where our son lives and works. I think that they said their house was over there.> Said Genma. He really was impressed. They had seen a group of people out for a morning run, what they had seen amazed them. These people where warriors, some of them had killed, and some had not. The way they had carried them selves showed that they where confident in there abilities.

I think that's there house right there husband.> Nodoka said pointing to a house on which the address numbers where the same.

I think you're right dear. Hey Tendo, we found the house.> Genma shouted.

We're coming Saotome.> Soun shouted back. Soun was across the road looking for the house. Miss. Hinako was with and when people saw them together they thought that a father was taking his young daughter for a walk, little did they know that they where engaged. Nabiki and the others where back doing some shopping at the local off base market for food. They would catch up later.

An apartment near by

/Thank you for meeting me here. I have something that I want to discuss with you. You have all heard of the men of black correct/ Jean asked. The men seated around the table where heads of the leading terrorist organizations. These were men who had survived where others had not. They all knew of the men of black, because they had taken loses from them. They all nodded. /Then I have a something for you. You are currently seated about 5 miles from there base of operations. The group is known officially as Rainbow Six. There commander is a man named John Clark. There is very little information on him, but it is said that he is a deadly adversary. So are the other members. There are two teams, I do not have information on those people, but I will soon. I suggest that we attack a week from now. Do you agree with this/ the others around the table nodded.

One of the men stood. He was not tall, about 5'4". He had a ragged scar on his cheek. /I do not know if one week is enough to prepare an attack on the home of the British SAS. Manly because it will take about two weeks, and that is pushing it, to get our most experienced men here, as many of our best fighters are already hunted. I think that we should attack in four weeks. It will give us more time to gather the men that we will need and to give them a little refresher course./ The others saw the wisdom in his words, for he had the most experience. /Jean, yes I know who you are, you are young and head strong you are also very wise, but you lack the experience that is needed to plan something like this. That is all/

/Thank you, we all need to be humbled every now and then. I guess it was my turn./ Jean said. / Know back the matter at hand./. They then went back to work.

Later that night at the Saotome house

Now that was a good work out pops. Haven't had one like that in a while. Feels good. Ranma said coming in after having beaten his father. Genma was currently laid out on the floor after having been dragged in by Soun. It was an ordinary Japanese living room with a low table, a couch, and a TV. There where some swords on the wall with a few wall scrolls, and the floor was carpeted. Some movies and books sat on some shelves near the TV. Hey mom, what are y'all going to be doing here?>

Well, we plan to see some of the sights and tour around a bit. We are planning on staying for about five weeks, not all here at your house, we have hotel reservations. Nabiki did the budgeting and we have enough to do what we want and some to fall back on.> Nodoka went on telling him what they had planned when the door bell rang. Ranma excused himself and went to answer the door. He was surprised to see John Clark and Ding Chavez.

"Hey Ranma, how's it going." John asked.

"It's going okay. Would you like to come in, my family is here, maybe you would like to meet them?" Said Ranma.

"Thank You. I think we will." John said as he and Ding came with Ranma holding the door.

"Every one, This is general Clark and Major Chavez. General Clark runs things around here and Major Chavez is my squad leader." Ranma said starting the introductions

"Please call me Clark. 'General' makes me feel like a REMF suit." Clark interrupted.

"Well, this is my mom and dad, Nodoka and Genma. That is my father in-law Soun, his fiancé is in the bed room right now. That is Kasumi and her husband Dr. Tofu, Kasumi is Akane's biggest sister, and Nabiki is the middle of the Tendo sisters." Ranma explained.

Clark and Ding where amazed at Nodoka's copper hair, 'well now I know where Ranma gets the red hair', she was also had on a dark blue kimono. Clark and Ding could tell that by the way she held here self that she knew how to use one of swords that decorated the wall. She was of medium height, and had an angular face.

Genma was portly and had on a battered white gi. He also had the look of a competent martial. He had on a pair of glasses that looked like they had seen better days. He carried himself as if he had been there and done it. He had changed in the last few years. He had gone from a lazy bum who was really good at martial arts to a person who threw himself into life headfirst. He had helped out in the community in several restoration projects, he had helped build play grounds and even gotten a job for a while. He was now helping Soun teach at the dojo.

Soun, having found someone to love again, had started to live again. He was teaching again and was putting in time at local fairs. He and Genma had even become official judges for the local tournaments. He had also helped to rebuild Nerima. He was tall and had a long face. He always wore a brown gi, except when he had to dress up. He also sported a mustache.

Kasumi had on a smile that would light any room. She had a slightly round face, and was of medium height. Kasumi was wearing a light blue dress with an apron. She also had the look of one that never let any thing get her down. No one could bring themselves to hit Kasumi for any thing.

Nabiki was wearing a women's suit that fit her like a glove. She also had an angular face that seemed to run in the family. She had the look of one that knew how to make money. She was slightly smaller the Kasumi.

"Hello everyone" Clark said with a bow, he had learned that on a mission in Japan. "It is good to meet you. As Ranma said, my name is John Clark." He said as he introduced himself. Clark was a big man, not fat, big. Very little of him was fat, most of it was muscle. He stood at six feet tall, and had broad shoulders. He carried himself as one who had survived combat, which he had with two tours as a navy SEAL in Vietnam. He was a legend in the world of special ops. His call sign was 'Snake', and he had been known as a formidable enemy by the Vietcong.

"My name's Domingo Chavez." Ding said introducing himself. Ding was almost the opposite of Clark. He was only about 5'3" and a small muscular frame. He was built like a runner. He also had the look of one how had been in combat. He had been involved in a secret war on drugs in Columbia. He had a Latin look about him, because he was from southern Los Angeles.

"Well, we were here to talk to Ranma about helping to train some of the people here in some of the skills that he knows. I take it that his father taught him most of what he knows, am I correct?"

"I didn't teach him every thing he knows, but I did lay the foundations. The rest came from experience and from other masters of the art." Genma answered.

"Why don't you stay over for dinner, I am sure you would like to here some of the stories about Ranma when he was young, and you can invite your families over." Kasumi stated.

"Sure, I think they would like that, don't you think Mr. C" Ding said.

"I don't see why not. I'll call them." Clark said pulling out his cell phone. After he had called his wife and daughter over Ms. Hinako came in to the room, in child form.

"Well hello, little lady. May I ask your name? My names John Clark." Clark said.

"My name is Ninomiya Hinako, and I just look small. I am actually 32 years old. It's a medical condition." Ms. Hinako stated. She was wearing a dress that looked to small for her. She had the cutest look about her. "There is a way to temporarily correct it." She said looking at Ranma. She then pulled out a coin and pointed it at Ranma. She then started a chant, as she chanted she drew a glowing ring in the air. Ranma saw what was coming and started pumping out more chi, and everybody went for cover. Akane grabbed Clark and Ding and threw them behind Hinako. As soon as she finished chanting a violent wind erupted.

Ranma was this now glowing with a red glow. Some of the glow broke off and headed strait for the glowing circle. After it passed through the circle, it went in to Ms. Hinako and caused a physical change in her. What Clark saw was amazing. He saw he age right before his eyes. What had been before a young girl was now a woman, the clothes that she was wearing had expanded to fit her a little tightly, but not enough to attract too much attention.

"This is how I really look, and I am engaged to Soun Tendo." She stated with a deeper voice.

"Well, let me start getting supper ready and then we'll eat." said Kasumi. Clark and Ding where speechless. Little did they know that they would be in for a long night of surprises.

END

Finally, this chapter is done. I took longer on this chapter then any others.

Don't worry about what happened at the house, I'll explain later.

I have made this chapter 2,555 long. My longest yet.

Thanks to all those who posted reviews, you really do help out.
