Ukyo was distracted at work today. Certain thoughts had been nagging her. They would be in her head as clear as day, then they would be gone.
For some reason, she kept imagining Ranma transforming into a red warrior and fighting Pantyhose Taro. Then Akane and Ryoga transformed and helped. The images kept fading out.
"Miss Ukyo, the customers are waiting," said Konatsu.
Ukyo then came back to reality, "I'm sorry Konatsu."
As Ukyo served the customers, Konatsu asked, "Is something wrong Miss Ukyo? You seem out of it today."
"It's nothing to worry about. Now you can you take out the trash," smiled Ukyo. She usually didn't lie to the kunoichi but there really wasn't anything he could do.
Konatsu bowed his head and headed out with several large trash bags. The ninja sighed. He wanted so much to cheer Ukyo up. That's when he had an idea.
Konatsu happily walked back into the restaurant, "Miss Ukyo, why I go out and get us some smoothies from that new place that just opened up."
Ukyo simply waved him off, as though she just wanted him out of her hair. Of course, Konatsu didn't notice the distant expression on her face since he was already gone.
Konatsu leaped over buildings, eager to please Ukyo.
Meanwhile, Ranma and Akane were sitting at the Cat Café with Ryoga. Shampoo was busy bussing tables while Mousse was sweeping the floors.
"You know Ranma, just because we get free ramen from here now, doesn't mean we have to eat here every day," said Akane.
"But free food always taste better," said Ranma with a mouthful of ramen.
Then Shampoo latched onto him, "Ranma also get to spend every day with Shampoo."
"Pervert," muttered Akane as she tossed her bowl into Ranma's face.
"That's hot you know," shouted Ranma as he wiped off the broth.
"Maybe this will cool you down," said Mousse as he dumped a glass of water on Ranma's head, turning him into a girl.
"Why you do that Mousse," shouted Shampoo as she let go of Ranma.
Ranma noticed Akane leaving with Ryoga. "Hey Tomboy wait up," she shouted.
However, before Ranma could get far, she collided with a red blur.
"Witch way did he go," groaned Ranma who was quite dazed and feeling a lot colder than normal.
"Oh, no, my smoothies. Miss Ukyo will be so disappointed," cried Konatsu before passing out himself.
Shampoo and Mousse had come out of the restaurant to see what was happening. They found Ranma and Konatsu passed out. Ranma was covered in orange and purple smoothie.
After Konatsu recovered, he sat with Ranma, Shampoo, and Mousse to explain what happened.
"Miss Ukyo has been very distant lately. It's as though she's trying to remember something that never happened."
Ranma looked over at Shampoo who shrugged her shoulders. Shampoo was at a loss, this was the second time the Xi Fa Xiang Gao shiatsu had failed.
Konatsu continued, "I was hoping the smoothies would cheer Miss Ukyo up. But, now I have to come up with a new plan."
"Why don't you try getting her a gift," said Akane.
"Where did you come from?" asked Ranma.
"I came from a walk with Ryoga. Unlike you, he doesn't flirt with every girl who bat's her eyes at him."
Ranma looked over at Ryoga and suddenly imagined the time he was dressed as Ryoga's fiancé. Ranma practically beat him over the head with a cinderblock to get away from Ryoga.
"I guess p-chan's just a better guy than me," said Ranma.
Then Ryoga punched him across the room, "I don't know what he's talking about Akane."
"Hmm, maybe a gift is a better idea," said Konatsu. Then the kunoichi checked his wallet, "Don't suppose any of you could lend me some money?
The dark warrior watched all of this with a bored expression on his face. Saffron and Taro stood next to him, watching with the same blank expressions on their face. What good was a magic viewing mirror when there was nothing interesting to watch?
Then Kiema walked in, "My lord, we found it."
Koruma and Masara walked in behind her. Koruma was carrying a wooden box that was emitting a dark aura.
"Bring it here," commanded Kage.
Kiema took the box from Koruma and presented it to the dark warrior.
Kage slowly opened the box, revealing a mask. The mask was as black as night and resembled a wolf's face.
"What is it?" asked Taro.
Kage smiled as he held the mask up, "This is one of the masks of darkness. There are five of them in the world. These mask made from the bones of some of the oldest demons that ever lived. They require a host to unleash their power."
"I've seen something like this before," said Saffron.
"Of course you have," said Kage. "Carmilla wears one of them."
"The witch must have been pretty useless before," said Kiema.
"So who is going to were this one," asked Masara.
Then Kage threw the mask and it landed perfectly on Masara's face.
"You haven't really been earning your keep lately," said Kage.
Then Masara started to scream as the mask took over his body. An eerie black light surrounded him.
"Is he ok," asked Koruma.
"He'll either be stronger than ever or the mask will destroy him. What the mask does is completely random," said Kage.
"That does explain why we pulled the mask off a skeleton," said Keima.
They continued to watch the black light until it faded. When it did, it left Masara clad in black armor. His hair had turned white, the wolf mask now completely covered his face and grew a large silver horn.
"How do you feel," asked Kage.
Masara got up and a dark cloud swirled around his hand. The cloud materialized into a sword that was shaped like a crescent moon. Masara looked at the dark warrior and replied, "Like a monster."
The magic mirror then showed an image of the Cat Café.
The dark warrior smiled, "You know what you must do now."
After the teens had left, Cologne set about the task of cleaning up the mess they had made. There were several broken chairs, broken bowls and a hole in the floor from where Akane had smashed Ranma's face. Lastly, there were several pools of water on the floor from the various jusenkyo victims.
Cologne sighed, when would they ever learn to get along? She couldn't tell what they were thinking lately. On the field, they worked like a team. However, once the ranger suits came off, they returned to being the same stubborn teens they always were.
Granted she did share some of the blame. She was always trying to push Shampoo and Ranma together. But now it was different. The whole world was in danger and the only ones who could save it can't even get along for a day.
She heard the door to Café open.
"We're closed for now. Come back in an hour, when we open for dinner," said Cologne.
Then Cologne felt a dark aura and looked towards the front of the Cafe to see a wolf-like demon walking towards her.
"What do you want?" asked Cologne as she gripped her staff.
"Where are the power rangers?" asked Masara.
"Get out of here."
"Wrong answer."
Suddenly, like a lightning bolt, Masara attacked. His aura flashed bright, then in an instant, it faded away, leaving the Cat Café in complete disarray.
Konatsu was browsing the various shops around town, trying to figure out what he could get to cheer Ukyo up.
He thought of buying her a dress. Then he decided against it when he remembered Ukyo telling him about the time she wore a dress and it caused another case of Nerima chaos. To top it off, the dress would probably wind up in the cross dressing ninja's closet anyway.
Then he thought of getting some her some jewelry. But when would Ukyo ever were jewelry.
"Excuse me miss," said a voice.
Konatsu looked down to see an old man sitting with a rug that had many old trinkets.
"Are you talking to me?" asked Konatsu.
"Yes I am little lady. You look like your confused about what to buy," said the old man.
The old man held up a packet, "Use this to make cherry blossom rice cakes. If the one you love gets cherry blossom mark on their forehead, then they are the one you are destined to fall in love with."
"Pass", said Konatsu.
"Well how about…"
However, Konatsu cut the old man off when he reached for something that stuck out to him.
"How much for this?" asked Konatsu.
"The jade figure is three thousand yen," said the old man.
"Pass".
"No wait. If you act today, I'll give it to you for two thousand and throw in a second one for free."
Within two seconds, Konatsu handed over the money, took the two jade figures, and hopped onto the nearest roof.
"I sure hope Miss Ukyo likes these," he said to himself. He looked at the two figures. One was a monkey and the other was a dog.
After fighting with Akane, Ranma got some hot water, transformed back into a guy and went to one of the few places he could find temporary peace. He jumped to the roof of the Tendo house.
Ranma lied back on the roof and felt the wind blow against him. He didn't even know what he and Akane were fighting about anymore.
Still, he couldn't just apologize. Especially if he didn't know what he did wrong.
Then he felt a dark presence next to him.
Ranma quick jumped up and got ready for a fight.
"Oh calm down hero," said Carmilla.
Ranma clenched his fist tighter, "What are you doing here?"
"I just came to warn you about something."
"Why would you do that? Aren't you one of the bad guys?"
"Let's just say playing both fields is fun for me. Besides, if I didn't warn you than you'd have a greater chance of losing your next fight. And without you or your friends, I'd have no one around to play with."
"Well then what's the warning?"
"Like myself, the demon wears a mask."
"That's it."
"I wouldn't want to make things too easy for you."
Then Carmilla unfolded her wings and took to the air. "Good luck out there," she laughed before taking off.
"Konatsu where have you been?" yelled Ukyo.
"I'm sorry I took so long Miss Ukyo," said Konatsu while bowing.
"Whatever. Just get to work."
Then Konatsu walked over and presented his gift to Ukyo, "I brought you a present Miss Ukyo."
"That's nice," said Ukyo as she took the jade figures and put them in her pocket. Then she got back to work, feeding her customers.
"I'm so glad you like them," said Konatsu happily, as he strapped on apron and began to help Ukyo with her work.
Then Ukyo sighed and rubbed her forehead, "I'm sorry. I know you must have spent a lot on these. I'm just too distracted lately."
"Miss Ukyo, what's wrong? You can tell me anything you know," said Konatsu.
"It's nothing really."
Ukyo then dug in her pocket, pulling out the jade monkey.
"Here you can keep this one. That way we both have one," she said.
Konatsu's eyes lit up. Never had anyone given her such an extravagant gift. Konatsu sprang forward and gave Ukyo a big hug. "You're so good to me Miss Ukyo."
"You're crushing me," said Ukyo. Ukyo was glad Kontsu accepted the figure. After all work had been slowing down because of her distraction and Ukyo might not have been able to afford Konatsu's wages of ten yen an hour.
After Carmilla left, Ranma sat back down on the roof to try to relax.
"Ranma, come down her," called Akane. She and Ryoga were watching TV in the living room when Shampoo called on the morphers.
"What now," groaned Ranma.
"The Cat Café's been attacked," said Ryoga.
The statement caused Ranma to sit up. Then he jumped down and landed in front of Akane. Ryoga stood next to her.
"What happened?" asked Ranma.
"Shampoo and Mousse went back to the Café and found the restaurant totally destroyed. They said Cologne was found buried under a pile of debris. Ryoga and I are heading over there now, "said Akane.
"Never a dull day," said Ranma.
They each strapped on their morphers and hit the button to teleport.
Ranma, Akane, and Ryoga arrived to find Shampoo wrapping up Cologne's arm.
"What happened?" asked Ryoga.
"It's not as bad as it looks. I was just sucker punched, that's all," said Cologne.
"The place looks worse than it usually does," said Ranma.
"That's because it wasn't an ordinary demon that came here," said Cologne.
Mousse reached into his robes, pulled out a book and handed it to Cologne, "Here you are elder Cologne."
Cologne thumped through the pages of the book until she found what she was looking for. She dropped the book down on the floor. The page had pictures of five masks with some ancient writing underneath each one.
"These are the mask of darkness. They have the the power to grant anyone incredible powers over darkness."
The rangers looked at the mask. One had a pirate look to it, another looked like a knight's helmet, and there was a mask that looked like one of the ranger helmets. The rangers were quick to notice a familiar looking vampire mask.
"Carmilla," muttered Ranma under his breath.
"Did you say something son-in-law?" asked Cologne.
"We've encountered this mask before," said Ranma as he pointed to Carmilla's mask.
Cologne looked at the mask and read the writing underneath it, "The deceivers' mask. Carved from the bones of one of the first vampires. The mask has the ability to make fantasy into reality."
Ryoga spoke up, "The person wearing it calls herself Carmilla."
"She make Shampoo's skin crawl," said Shampoo.
"Is she the one who attacked you?" asked Mousse.
"No, this is the one who attacked me," said Cologne as she pointed the wolf mask. "It is called the slayer's mask. It was carved from one of the fangs of the great wolf fenrir. The one who wears this mask will bring nothing but destruction to those around them."
"Does it say how to defeat a person wearing a mask?" asked Akane.
Cologne flipped through several pages. After a minute or two she said, "It says that anyone wearing a mask can be brought back if the mask is removed. Unfortunately, that's all it says."
"That's all I need to know. I can easily remove the mask with my amaguriken," said Ranma.
Cologne sighed. Ranma somehow managed to instill the confidence they needed to face the demon. However, she had to wonder if that was a good thing.
Before she could finish the thought however, she heard Ranma and the others shout, "We need Sheng Xiao power NOW."
The rangers ran out of the wrecked restaurant only seconds after transforming.
"Good luck," said Cologne as the rangers left.
The rangers' search for the demon eventually led them to the park. Despite the fact that it was the middle of the afternoon, the park was dark. It was as though the sun wasn't shinning anymore.
"I've got a bad feeling about this guys," said Ryoga.
"Don't tell me you're scared," laughed Mousse.
"It's not that, I just feel like we're being watched," Ryoga snapped.
"You not only one," said Shampoo, her chui instinctively materialized in her hands.
Suddenly, a black flash of light bolted through them, knocking the rangers to the ground.
"What was that?" asked Akane while clutching her side.
"I don't know. I didn't even sense it coming," said Ranma.
As the rangers slowly got to their feet, the black bolt came back and knocked them to the ground again.
"This is getting old," said Ryoga.
"So strong," said Shampoo.
Ranma slowly got up to his feet. He was trying to keep calm and listen for the next attack.
Then the rangers heard the howling of a wolf.
Akane summoned her hammer and used it as a support to get up. She looked forward and saw two bright yellow eyes.
"Over there," Akane shouted while tossing her hammer at the eyes.
The eyes suddenly vanished and the black bolt was coming towards them again.
"Not this time," said Ranma.
Ranma summoned his spear and swung at the black bolt as if it were a baseball.
The bolt fell to the ground where it took the form of a human in black wolf armor.
"You dare to challenge me," said the wolf as stood up. He stretched out his hand and a black crescent blade materialized in his hand.
"You're just another demon as far as we're concerned," said Ranma.
"I'm surprised you don't recognize me. It's me, Masara."
Masara could see the red rangers eyes widen through his helmet and smiled.
Masara then gripped his sword and dashed forward.
Ryoga was the first to meet him. The lost boy swung his umbrella Masara only to have it brushed away. Then Masara kicked Ryoga in the gut and sent him reeling back.
Akane saw the opening Masara had left and decided to take advantage of it. Akane leaped forward, swing her hammer only to hit nothing.
Akane felt someone behind her and before she could react, Masara has slashed her back with his sword.
Masara was about to slash Akane again but something was holding his arm back. He looked at his arm to find one end of Mousse's nunchucks wrapped around it.
"Shampoo, Ranma, now," said Mousse.
Ranma and Shampoo charged Masara with their weapons only for the wolf warrior to leap into the air and pulling Mousse in their path.
Luckily, Ranma and Shampoo were able to stop before they could hit Mousse. However, once the three of them were grouped together, Masara unleashed several crescent wave of energy from his sword.
"Crescent wave," shouted Masara as he unleashed wave after waves of energy.
The energy waves hit the three rangers, knocking them off their feet.
Suddenly Ranma felt himself being picked up by the neck. Before he knew it, Ranma was looking into a pair of glowing yellow wolf eyes.
"How could one as weak as you defeat lord Saffron," said Masara.
Ranma quickly focused his energy and kicked Masara away with all his might.
"No one calls me weak," said Ranma.
Ranma didn't even have to look behind him to know that the other rangers were on their feet and standing next to him.
"I guess I'll just have to start hitting harder," said Masara as he dashed forward towards the rangers.
While Ukyo and Konatsu were working, they felt a strange kind of pulse coming from their pockets. Something seemed to want their attention.
Kontasu was unable to ignore the pulsing any longer. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his jade monkey figure.
The figure was glowing and emitting a warm green light.
"Miss Ukyo, come look at this," said Konatsu.
"What is it now?" asked Ukyo as she walked over to see the glowing monkey.
"What do you think it means?" asked Konatsu.
Ukyo reached into her pocket and pulled out her jade figure. To her surprise, Ukyo's figure had turned white and was also radiating light.
Then suddenly, everything came back to her. She remembered fighting Pantyhose Taro alongside Ranma and the others. Then Ranma, Akane, and Ryoga each put on the strange devices.
Then the three of them transformed into the costumed heroes she had seen on TV.
"I have to find Ranma," said Ukyo.
"What would Ranma know about this?" asked Konatsu
"I'm not sure. But I know he knows something. Why else would Ranma hang around Shampoo and Ryoga any more than he has too? You have to admit that they've been around each other a lot more than usual lately. Konatsu, close the shop."
"Yes Miss Ukyo."
Konatsu quickly and politely asked everyone to leave. Then the cross dressing ninja took down the open sign and closed the door to the shop.
Ukyo in the meantime had grabbed her bandolier of mini spatulas and strapped on her giant battle spatula.
After closing the restaurant, Konatsu changed from his schoolgirl uniform into his red kunoichi outfit.
"What's the plan Miss Ukyo," asked Konatsu.
"I haven't quite figured that out yet," said Ukyo.
Suddenly, the glowing figures transformed into balls of white and green light and wrapped around Ukyo and Konatsus' wrist.
Konatsu stared in amazement as the light transformed into a zodiac morpher. His morpher continued to transform and soon a red and blue button appeared underneath a large green button that had a monkey face on it.
Kontsu looked over at Ukyo and saw that she also had a morpher on her wrist. The only difference was that the large button on her morpher was white and had a dog's face on it.
Ukyo stared at her morpher for a minute. She remembered back to the fight with Taro. Ranma and the others had these exact same devices. Ranma called them morphers. And if she was right, the morphers would allow them to transform like Ranma and the others. Now, what had Ranma and the others shouted before they transformed?
Ukyo's morpher pulsed and her memory became clear.
"Konatsu, I think I know how these work. Just do what I do," said Ukyo
Ukyo placed her hand over the large button on her morpher and Konatsu did the same.
Then Ukyo pressed the button shouting, "We need Sheng Xiao power NOW."
The bright light that came from Konatsu and Ukyo's morphers forced them to shut their eyes.
As soon as the light died down, Ukyo and Konatsu took a look at themselves. Ukyo was wearing a mostly white uniform while Konatsu wore a green one. Both of them had on a helmet that was in the same color as their uniform. Konatsu was also quick to note that for once Ukyo was the one wearing the skirt.
Ukyo saw that both she and Konatsu had some kind of Chinese symbols on the front of their suits with a gold emblem of a monkey and dog in the middle.
"I don't know about you Miss Ukyo but I suddenly feel like I'm untouchable," said Konatsu.
"I feel the same way. Now we have to go find Ranma and the others to get some answers," said Ukyo.
Kontasu was looking at his morpher when he noticed the red and blue buttons. Experimentally, he pressed the red one.
At first the kunoichi heard nothing but static but a second later he started hearing voices.
"Mousse look out…I think I got him…..Ryoga I'm coming."
"Miss Ukyo, listen to this," called Konatsu.
Ukyo walked over and leaned her head down to Konatsu's morpher. She could hear the sounds of a battle taking place somewhere. She also heard the voices of five people who had been hiding things from her.
"That sounds like Ranma," said Ukyo.
"What are we gonna do?" asked Konatsu.
Ukyo's morpher pulsed once again then she looked down at the blue button on her morpher.
"We'll figure it out when we get there," said Ukyo before pressing the blue button and teleporting away. Konatsu stared in awe for a moment before pressing the blue button on his morpher and following.
The park had become a mini warzone by the time Ukyo and Konatsu had arrived. They slowly made their way to the battlefield but stayed hidden to better assess the situation.
The first thing they saw were two people in black and pink outfits like theirs helping another in blue to safety.
Then the saw another two in red and yellow simultaneously jump kick some guy wearing a wolf mask.
Then the red one spoke, "Akane go help Ryoga, leave Masara to me."
Ukyo looked over at Konatsu as they both came to the realization that the five warriors were their friends and rivals.
Suddenly Ranma and Masara leaped at eachother.
To Ukyo, it looked as though the two were in slow motion. Ranma was in the air, ready to hit Masara with the spear he was holding. But at the last second, Masara drew his sword and shouted, "Crescent wave."
The wave of energy knocked Ranma out of the air and onto the ground. Then Masara came down and stamped hard on Ranma's chest.
"It's over for you red ranger," he laughed.
"It's not over till the fat panda sings," said Ranma.
Akane was shouting Ranma's name and charging forward with her hammer. Ryoga, Mousse and Shampoo were right behind her with their weapons also drawn.
"Miss Ukyo, we should help them," said Konatsu.
However, Ukyo was already ahead of him and charging Masara with a large white spatula that materialized in her hand.
Konatsu quickly caught up with her and out of thin air, he drew a pair of daggers with green handles.
Akane smashed her hammer on the ground, sending a tremor towards Masara who leaped into the air, avoiding it.
Ryoga and Shampoo leaped up, each intending to smash Masara with their weapons. However, Masara easily avoided their weapons and counted with a slash from his crescent sword.
Once Masara landed back on the ground, Mousse tossed his nunchucks at him. Masara was soon wrapped up and unable to move his arms.
The other four rangers charged Masara, ready to end the fight.
Masara however got out of the wrap by changing into the black bolt of energy. The bolt swirled around the rangers, attacking them and bringing them to their knees.
Just when Ranma was about to tell the others to run, he saw a white and green blur dash past him. It was then he realized that two more rangers had joined the fight. The white one easily smacked Masara away with a giant spatula, while the green one threw a pair of daggers and pinned Masara to a tree.
Ranma and the others slowly got to their feet, each of them exhausted from the fight.
"Thanks for the save," said Akane.
"Don't thank us just yet," said Ukyo.
Masara pulled the daggers out of the tree, freeing himself.
"It doesn't matter how many of you there are. I'll destroy all of you," he yelled.
"Not if I can help it," said Ranma.
"Stand back," said Ryoga, while opening his umbrella.
The blue ranger used the last of his strength to hurl his umbrella, spinning towards Masara.
Masara was getting ready to dodge the umbrella when he suddenly found himself once again pinned to the tree.
He looked around to see the black and pink rangers binding him with the black ranger's nunchucks.
Masara struggled to get free but it was too late. The umbrella hit him, slicing off the mask's silver horn.
The umbrella soon boomeranged back to Ryoga. Then Ranma and Akane charged forward, each of them landing a hard kick to Masara's chest. They were followed by Ukyo and Konatsu who each delivered an uppercut to Masara's jaw.
Masara felt the cord holding him loosen just slightly and ducked down, getting loose.
Masara then drew his sword and shouted, "Crescent wave."
However, nothing happened.
"The horn must have been the source of his power," said Akane.
"Great. Now that he powerless, we remove mask and destroy it," said Shampoo.
Konatsu in the meantime had picked up his daggers and rejoined Ukyo.
"Miss Ukyo did you hear that. We need to remove his mask," said Konatsu.
"I heard. Quick hand me your daggers. I think the morpher just gave me an idea," said Ukyo.
Ukyo noticed two slits in her spatula and place Konatsu's daggers in each one. She suddenly felt a surge of power go through her spatula.
"Konatsu, help me with this," she called.
Konatsu quickly grabbed onto Ukyo's spatula and they both instinctively started twirling the spatula in the air. Slowly and disk of energy started to form and grow larger with every twirl of the spatula.
"Get down," Ukyo shouted.
The other five rangers looked over at Ukyo and got out the way.
Then with one final swing, Ukyo and Konatsu launched the energy disk at Masara who was unable to avoid it.
"No, how can this be," shouted Masara as he collided with the disk.
The explostint that followed was large and the rangers were glad they took cover.
When the dust settled, Masara was on his knees. His armor and sword cracked a fell apart as though it were made of cheap plastic. Then finally, the wolf mask fell off and shattered as soon as it hit the ground.
Masara fainted from exhaustion. After awhile, the mask had been the only thing keeping him going during the fight.
"My lord, should we retrieve Masara?" asked Koruma.
"No. He has failed me. Let him get back on his own," said Kage.
Kage stared at the mirror angrily. Not only had Masara failed but two more jade figures had been found.
Even Saffron didn't want to be around the dark warrior when he was this angry.
Ranma and the other rangers reached up, unfastened and removed their helmets.
"Thanks for the help Ucchan," said Ranma.
"How did you know it was me?" said Ukyo as she and Konatsu also removed their helmets.
"The spatula kind gave it away," said Mousse.
Suddenly the mood of their victory changed. Ukyo marched up to Ranma and before the pigtailed ranger knew what to do, she slapped him as hard as she could.
"How could you keep a secret like this from me?" shouted Ukyo.
Ranma was at a loss of what to say. He hadn't seen Ukyo this mad since she first showed up in Nerima.
Ukyo continued, "Never mind the fact that I'm supposed to be your fiancé. I'm also supposed to be one of your friends. I can't even look at you right now."
"Ukyo, we weren't trying to hurt you," said Akane.
"Save it. I bet you and Shampoo were happy to share a secret like this with Ranma.
Ranma walked over to Ukyo, "Look we have to keep this a secret. If only to keep the ones we care about safe."
Ukyo turned away from him, "This is just too much to handle right now. I need to be alone for awhile."
With that, Ukyo walked away with Konatsu right behind her.
"Just let her calm down Ranma. She'll come around eventually," said Akane.
"I sure hope so," said Ranma.
It was night by the time Ranma and the others arrived back at the Cat Café. Cologne had closed the restaurant due to the mess and left a note saying she had left to get some take out.
Ranma and the others surveyed the damage, knowing that they were at least partially responsible for the mess.
Ranma then walked over to the closet and grabbed two brooms.
He tossed one to Akane and one to Mousse.
"Shampoo, go get some trash bags. Ryoga, you and I will start working on repairing the floors."
The other four followed his orders without question. In the end, it had been a long day and they didn't have it in them to argue.
When Cologne came back with dinner, she was shocked to see the five teens actually fixing something rather than destroying it.
Maybe there was hope for the team after all.
Ok, just a few notes.
I decided to base Masara's armor on Zen-Aku from PR: Wild Force
Yes I do realized that I've only had three zord battles so far. Thrust me, there will be more.
And lastly:
Thank you everyone for sending me reviews. They keep me going. Hope you enjoyed the chapter.
