Ranma: evolution: Misconceptions Episode 109915

The Acolytes gathered around Sabertooth's downed form. The dent in the wall and the amount of steel wrapped around him spoke for itself.

Still, Gambit knew that Sabertooth was sometimes a little slow when it came to matters of tact.

"Mon ami… perhaps 'Nice Rack' wasn't exactly the best thing to say, eh?

"I think comrade Sabertooth could use some bed rest."

"You could at least wait until he's conscious anyway."

Colossus's skin took on a silvery sheen as he began to unwrap the hospital bed from their teammate.

"What do you think did that to our fearless leader anyway?"

Gambit shrugged "John, I t'ink we had best be getting wit' the major juju if we wanna avoid a similar fate. This stinks of magic and not a type I wanna deal wit'. "

Ranma grinned unnoticed as he followed them, cloaked in the Umisenken.

Well… almost unnoticed.

Pyro's eyes widen slightly as he watched a trail of wet footprints walk towards them.

"So what would this magic look like?" He asked with a tremble in his voice as he played with his lighter nervously.

"Don' know. If I did you can bet Gambit would be settin' up protections already."

Pyro flicked his Zippo open and suddenly the world was made of flame.

Wanda stared at her father. She still couldn't believe Ranma had been able to do that to him.

The only reason she wasn't laughing like crazy was because when Ranma has rushed off she had suddenly remembered he was dead.

Apparently Name Rank was shorthand among the ectoplasmic community for powerful beyond the bounds of sanity.

He had a physical presence (Boy did he!) when he wanted one and enough power to change someone's sex as a prank. While she could tweak local probabilities he could simply twist reality. Just being around him had filled her with energy.

Holding up a hand she let her power bubble to the surface. Blue flames danced along her fingers.

'As easy as breathing. It should take hours to concentrate and draw this much power.'

When he was in the same room as her, it was literally impossible for her to think of him as dead. The sheer amount of life he exuded just shoved the possibility from her mind.

The fear of cats was a dead giveaway though. Cat's were the guiding spirits for the dead in Egyptian mythology. For a spirit hanging onto this plane cats would be terrifying.

He wasn't an evil spirit thankfully. Everything he did was just to pass the time until he could see his mother again.

His actions proved it if nothing else did, he had checked to make sure her 'Mom' was ok before he had rushed off, saying he didn't realize it was so late and he should have been sparring with the Acolytes hours ago.

So the wave of flame that washed down the hall shortly thereafter came as no surprise. Nor the girlish screams that followed.

In the Inferno!

Magneto awake...

Mystique and Hermes on the move...

Someone plots something...other then the author of course!

Ranma: evolution: Out of the frying pan... Episode 110448

by dogbertcarroll

Gambit and Colossus flinched back from the wall of flame that had suddenly flared up behind them.

Pyro had been nervous and twitchy, cluing the two in that something was going on, but they were unprepared for such an extreme reaction. As one they turned to see exactly what had set him off.

Seeing a hall that suddenly looked like it was a gateway to hell made them nervous. Watching a figure wreathed in flames approach as if it was nothing more then a small annoyance… pants would need to be changed.

Colossus quickly tossed Sabertooth's unconscious body into the infirmary and slammed the door shut, while Gambit threw a trio of charged playing cards at the apparition. The cards flared up and fizzed out as the flames consumed them far short of their goal.

Gambit squinted as he stared into the inferno. "Concentrate all your flames on 'im. Doan' waste none on the furniture."

Pyro nodded slightly and narrowed his focus, drawing all the heat in the hall into a living column of flame.

Colossus shielded his eyes from the glare. Remmy had managed to pull a pair of sunglasses out of somewhere and Pyro was too focused on what he was doing to even notice it, but the steel in the hallway surrounding the pillar was beginning to glow.

"I think stopping now would be good. Hall is melting. Surely enemy has melted too."

Pyro released his hold on the flames, staggered and would have fallen had Gambit not grabbed him. He looked exhausted. Sweat was dripping from his forehead and his breath was coming out in short pants.

"Did I get him?"

All eyes turned to the hole burned through the steel plated floor of the hall. The edges were still glowing white hot and the tink of cooling metal could be heard echoing throughout the slagged hall.

Ranma stared up at the hole.

He knew his ability to resist heat was high. The training he had gotten from Master Caine allowed him to ignore hot coals. The Phoenix Pill he had gotten from Cologne had upped his resistance even further, (The fight with Saffron probably would have gone quite differently if not for Caine and Cologne.) and after having been bathed in the flames of a dying phoenix he'd suspected it had risen even higher.

This however… was a surprise.

Then he noticed he was feeling a bit of a draft.

Looking at himself he could easily see the reason why.

"Did I get him?"

The Acolyte's began to relax. It looked like whatever it had been Pyro had fried it. Nothing could have survived that! Pyro had nearly exhausted himself exerting his power to the limits. The conflagration he had created had been a shocker, even to him.

The naked male that leapt from the hole was a rather unpleasant surprise.

"That's it. No more 'Mister Nice Ghost'. You have destroyed the last change of clothes I had with me and you are going to pay!"

Magneto awoke with a start. It took a second for her brain to reboot.

'Girlish screams… Girls… Wanda kissing another girl…'

Thump

Wanda sighed as she watched her father pass out again.

'I have no idea how I'm going to explain this to him. Maybe I can pass Ranma off as my lesbian lover?'

An evil grin grew on her face as she imagined his reaction.

Ranma just stood there scratching the back of his head.

Of all the possible reactions he had anticipated 'Scream-like-a-little-girl and then run-like-your-ass-was-on-fire' wasn't one of them.

'I wonder what scared them?'

Ranma finally just shrugged it off and went to raid their closets for some clothes like he had planned.

Magneto awakes...

Ranma goes clothes shopping...

Mystique makes plans...

SE!
