Ranma then turned back to melody and rose and took their hands and walked them into school. An army of boys then instantly ran intending the beat up melody to win a date (no prizes for guessing who set that up) melody and rose instantly fell back behind Ranma and prepared to use their abilities, only to have Ranma put his arms in front of them, as if telling them to stand down. Ranma then began to concentrate on his mermaid heritage and stopped all the boys when he trusted his arms out, palms raised, Ranma began to sweat, he had never used his abilities on the entire male population of furinkan high, he began to shake slightly from the strain on him and his powers and found it hard to remain standing.
Meanwhile…
Nabiki looked outside and saw Ranma and his incredible display of power, then she noticed Rosetta hiding behind him 'I wonder could she be like them…hmm…this could be very profitable especially if I let his fiancés know about her, perhaps kodachi, after all if memory serves there will be another rhythmic gymnastics match in a few weeks and no doubt kodachi will be up to her old tricks and so all I have to do is make sure one of those girls end up in the match and get the evidence and then simple bribery will do the rest' Nabiki thought to herself with a smirk.
Back with Ranma…
'I can't keep this up much longer' Ranma thought to himself as he gritted his teeth but was then struck with inspiration and put all of his energy into mermaid powers and slammed the boys full force onto the ground, knocking them out cold, however, with such a huge attack on multiple foes had forced him to fall to his knees, then to all fours before finally collapsing onto the ground, completely out of ki. Kuno then came out and approached the girls as they surrounded Ranma and began checking if he's okay.
"well it looks like the sorcerers drawn his last breath and cast his last curse you are now free fair maidens to date with thee" kuno said in his all high and mighty tone, melody scowled at him as did Rosetta, he then groped the two girls, Rosetta was about to use her powers and throw him through the school when kuno suddenly stopped and began to levitate off the ground and was moved away from the two girls, who then looked up to see Ranma, looking beaten, battered and weak, with one palm out stretched, he was using the last of his will to protect them, but they both knew that even if Ranma was tuff, he wouldn't be able to keep this up much longer, everyone could see Ranma was panting and his stance was weak, one of his arms just hung swaying in the slight breeze. Ranma then felt something within him begin to awaken.
"Ranma you must revive yourself" a mysterious voce within Ranma's mind said.
"who are you and what do you mean revive myself?" Ranma thought back.
"I am your mermaid half, you aren't completely willing to accept your true self thus I was created a split personality, you must forget all those things genma taught you about being a man and only then will you be free of him for good and be able to truly master the martial arts and your mermaid abilities and when you do you will even be able to rid yourself of your fear of cats" the voice explained.
'forget all genma taught me about being a man' that thought echoed throughout Ranma's mind, he then dived down into his subconscious and found the door, he had made it when he was a child to hold back his 'weaknesses' but now it was time to free them, Ranma unlocked the door and instantly as he did so a white, bright light appeared and zoomed out of it and into him. Ranma's physical body began to glow surprising everyone who saw him, it glowed a light blue colour and his Chinese top and baggy kung fu pants became crystal whit, his began to glow blue and he felt his energy returning about a thousand fold, he then threw kuno through the school walls and several class rooms.
Afterwards…
Ranma stopped glowing and returned to normal before falling to the ground, Rosetta and melody then rushed Ranma to the infirmary and stayed with him to make sure there secret won't be revealed, meanwhile, Nabiki was still gawking, her mouth gaping, she couldn't believe what she just saw.
Meanwhile…
"what was that?" Rosetta asked melody, they were alone in the infirmary, with Ranma in the hospital bed, still out old.
"when Ranma was kidnapped, genma took him on a training journey and made him lock away important qualities saying a true man didn't need them and it also prevented him from discovering his heritage even if genma didn't know this or how special Ranma was…what we saw was the true, whole Ranma he merged with everything he locked away becoming whole and unlocking his true power, the only problem is it seriously drain him as it's highly advanced and he hasn't reached the maturity yet to handle his powers so after he used them, they were locked away again" melody explained.
"what do you mean too much power to handle" she then asked.
"all mermaids and merman's have slight control over water all be it unnoticeable in the sea but on land it is noticeable and if it was just that then it wouldn't be so hard for Ranma to release his true powers but also the power of the trident runs through his veins as does Ursula's magic which had a link to morganna's and her mother's magic which also lies within him and then theirs all the techniques he's learned, his curse the contact he had with a god, all that piles up so Ranma's true power could be immeasurable and so until he masters his abilities properly and meets a true level of maturity Ranma won't be able to use his true power without consequences such as this if not worse" melody explained, unaware that Nabiki had been listening in and heard it all, she then crept off to class smirking and began thinking of ways to use this new revelation to her advantage.
