Part 2
Meanwhile, over at the Hikawa Shrine, on Cherry Hill, the local shrine maiden (or "miko") was performing an exorcism…
"Begone, foul demoness!" said Rei Hino, as she performed the rites of exorcism on…her husband.
"HAHAHAHA!" laughed Red She-Hulkma, as power erupted from her aura. Thanks to rejecting the advances of Umar the Insatiable, a powerful Lord of Chaos from the dreaded "Dark Dimension", Ranma, Rei's husband, was cursed with a possessed personality: the infamous "Red She-Hulkma". Years ago, Ranma was gamma-enhanced to become the Indestructible Hulkma. As a result of that, Ranma's girl form became "She-Hulkma". Later, Umar had infused her essence into the green-skinned She-Hulkma form, thus created Red-Hulkma. Making matters worse, whenever Ranma is in She-Hulkma "mode", he doesn't remember what he does as Red She-Hulkma. Thus far, Ranma has learned that he had inadvertently ran afoul of a pack of werewolves, married Attuma the Conqueror (in order to obtain a mystical Atlantean artifact), fought mutant bears on an abandoned Russian satellite with the famed wrestler Zangief and his protégé Mika, fought alongside a tribe of Yeti against the Yuatja (ie. the Predators), stopped Klarion the Witch Boy and the Sheeda (i.e. the Dark Fae) from taking over Limbo Town with the Creature Commandoes, and fought rogue "Life Model Decoys" of Usagi Tsukino, all of which were pre-programmed by a "femazon" named "Suprema". Apparently, Red She-Hulk would purposely put herself in a compromising situation, thereby forcing Ranma to deal with the situation…
And that is why Ranma had decided that the best solution yet is to remove the problem entirely with the help of his wife Rei.
"Be gone, I say!" Rei commanded, as she placed yet another ward on Red She-Hulkma's body.
"Ha!" Red She-Hulkma said. "Nice try, little girl!"
"What did you say?" Rei yelled, as she began to produce a blue, fiery aura. Although she was Rei Hino, she had lived another life on a distant world as Princess Azula, daughter of the Fire Lord of the world known as "Jeegoo". And, as Azula, but before she remembered who she really was, Rei was a talented terror who sought to reign supreme in the Fire Lord's name.
Unfortunately, Rei, in spite of knowing who she truly was, still had a bit of Azula in her…
"I said, YOU SUCK!"
"Grrrr-!"
Outside the shrine, Grandpa Hino, the head Shinto priest, and his assistant Chad, a failed rock-and-roll, was returning to the shrine, from the local hardware store, to do repairs on the temple, when they witnesses a spectacular show of force.
BA-WHOOM!
"Whoa!" Chad yelled, as they see a red-hued Gammazon being blasted out of the shrine.
"What is going on here?" Grandpa Hino asked.
"My…apologies, grandpa," said Rei, as she floated out of the shrine, with her aura blazing. Since mastering Fire Bending, Rei has demonstrated many tricks, including the ability to fly.
"Now, if you excuse me, I have a husband to discipline, and a demoness to excise."
"How?" Chad asked.
"Through violence, if necessary."
With that, Rei takes to the skies, and goes after her husband, albeit in a different form and mindset.
FWOOSH!
"Um, what just happened?" Chad asked.
Grandpa Hino merely shakes his head. It's going to be a long day…
Elsewhere, in the heart of Juuban Park lies an American-style restaurant known as "Café Americana", owned by the powerful Rantsu clan. Most people did not know that the clan was headed by two superheroes: Sailor Cosmos and Ronin, who, in their civilian guises, were Usagi Tsukino and Ranma Saotome. And thanks to an adventure involving time travel, while gaining immortality in the process, the pair had gotten together. As a result of their union, Usagi and Ranma had acquired both a huge family and wealth. And as a result of having acquired those things, they have become one of the most powerful couples in Japan, with connections in many walks of life, from the Imperial family to the Office of the Prime Minister, from the business community to the criminal underground.
And owning Café Americana was the result of having developed connections with these powerful circles.
These days, Café Americana is managed by the up-and-coming chef Makoto Kino, who became known to the public after winning the Iron Chef competition five times in a row, before retiring to run Usagi and Ranma's restaurant while hosting her own cooking show, "Cooking With Mako-chan". By this point in her life, Makoto could open her own restaurant, but chose not to since she was married to one of the owners…
"And there we go," said Makoto, as she tasted her confection of chocolate crepes. "Mmmm…delicious!"
Makoto then noticed that the producer of her show was giving her the hand sign to wrap things up.
"At any rate, that will be all for now," Makoto said. "Next week, I show you how to bake a four-chocolate chip cookie that is to die for. Until then, have a wonderful day!"
"And…cut," Ranma said, as he gives the all clear signal. Although his profession wasn't in the television industry, he did like to help his wife produce her show from time to time.
"You did great, babe," Ranma said, as he steps up to the small stage.
"Really?" Makoto replied.
"Yeah, really," Ranma said, as he brought up his personal access data device (PADD) to the fore. "Look, you got a lot of 'hits' on your website…"
Ranma then gives his PADD to his wife, who accepts it. Makoto scrolls to the fields that show how many visitors to her website she has…
"Wow," Makoto said with a raised eyebrow.
"'Wow' indeed," Ranma said with a smile. "Maybe this will convince you to write that cook book you're thinking of writing about?"
"Hmmm, maybe," Makoto said. "I still want to establish myself first, instead of just being a…'flash in the pan'…"
Pause.
"Get it?" Makoto said with a grin. "You know."
"Yeah, I do," Ranma said with a smile. "I'm the one who told you that joke, remember?"
"Yeah, I DO…"
It was now lunch time. Those students that were allowed to leave the campus of various schools, particularly on the secondary and post-secondary level, begin to flock to the entrance of their respective institutions of learning for lunch…
"Hey, Hotaru, wait up," said Mika Kayama, as she and her boyfriend Shingo Tsukino ran up to the upper classmate.
"Hmm?" Hotaru said, as she turned to see her friend.
"Yeah, we wanted to know if you wanted to go to that new burger joint up the street," Shingo said.
"I…I can't," Hotaru said. "I have to have lunch with my…husband."
"Oh, Ranma?" Mika said with a frown, mostly because of the way Hotaru referred to her husband. While Mika didn't approve of her close friend being married to a known polygamist and womanizer, she knew that Hotaru's husband was not a bad guy…
"I thought he'd be spending time with Akane this week?" Shingo asked.
"I am supposed to chaperone Chibiusa next week, since she is thinking about attending school with us," Hotaru said.
"I thought she had already completed her education in England," Mika asked.
"She did, but the education standards between the United Kingdom and Japan are not always consistent on some subject matters," Hotaru replied thoughtfully. "She will have to take some additional course work in order to have her degree recognized."
"What does she want to do with herself anyway?" Shingo asked.
"Maybe, she wants to be a superhero like her parents?" Mika offered. "I mean, she was a member of that 'Young Justice' team in America…"
"Hotaru, are you sure you don't want to come with us to have lunch?" Shingo said. "I'm sure that Ranma won't mind."
"I'm not so sure…"
Just then, Ranma is seen driving up to the parking curb on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
"'Sup," Ranma said, as he slows, and then shuts down his wheels. He then pulls off his sunglasses and whips his hair a bit…
"Hey, Ranma," Mika said, as she blushed a bit. This was not lot on her boyfriend.
"Hey!" Shingo yelled.
"Um, huh," Ranma said. He then turned towards his young wife.
"You're ready to roll?"
"Um, okay," Hotaru said meekly, as she prepares to get on the back of Ranma's motorcycle…
"Hey, Ranma, we wanted to know if you want to have lunch with us," Shingo asked.
"Well-"
"No, he can't," Hotaru said forcefully, surprising everyone present. "Ranma, we have to discuss family things."
"Well, Shingo's family, and Mika is practically family," Ranma said.
"Please?"
"Hey, it's okay," Mika said, picking up Hotaru's cues. "We can have lunch another time."
"Um, yeah," Shingo replied. "It's okay."
"Thank you," Hotaru replied with a gentle smile. "Next time, I'll treat. Okay?"
"You better," Shingo said with a broad smile.
"Talk to you later," Mika said, as she waves while pulling Shingo along with her.
"Ulp!"
Ranma then turned towards his wife.
"Hotaru?"
"Ranma, I know that you want me to have a life of my own, but I am your wife," Hotaru said.
"I never doubted that," Ranma said, as he hands Hotaru her helmet. "But why-?"
"Because, family IS important to me, Ranma," Hotaru said, as she swings her right leg wide in order to hop on Ranma's motorcycle. "I lost my mother, and I nearly lost my father. Since then, Setsuna-mama, Haruka-papa and Michiru-mama have become my family, and with you…I can start thinking about having a family of my own someday."
"I understand that, but what does not having lunch have to do with family?"
"Chibiusa, that's what," Hotaru said. "If I am her step-mother, I have to behave like one."
"Hon, I'm her step-father, and I hardly behave as one."
"I know, which is why, well, I take my new role in this family seriously," Hotaru said, as she wrapped her arms around Ranma's waist. "Someone has to be the adult in this relationship, you know."
"I don't know if I should be insulted or not," Ranma said, as he starts his motorbike.
"Ranma, please?"
"Okay, okay, I got it. But don't let our relationship mean that you can't have fun in your life, or have excitement."
"Ranma, being married to you is never a dull moment, one way or another," Hotaru said. "Just…indulge me in this case."
"Humph, alright," Ranma replied, and he sped off into traffic…
