Chapter 58 – School for Hard Knocks

Inside of an ancient structure, six supernatural and evil entities were sitting around a fire that was powered by one of their number. These beings the infamous, evil villains imprisoned by the Dragon Orb, released briefly by a treasure hunter, then recaptured by the Dragon Pharaoh with the power of the Dragon Orb. At least, these are some of those villains …

Fuelling the fire is Salamander, a burning skeleton of a man wearing armor.

Phhhht!

"Hey!" cried Salamander indignantly, "Stop trying to blow out my flame!"

Teasingly trying to blow out Salamander's fire is Shadow Reaver. Half man, half goat. Strong, big, and a complete coward.

Snickering- er –laughing in a manly tone at the antics of the two is Maelstrom, a powerfully built man in need of a nose, and wore a helmet with bulls' horns at the sides. He is the sneaky one.

Rolling their eyes at the stupidity of the assembled men are Sith and Malis, the only females of the group. Sith looked very much like an Egyptian Queen, complete with serpent on her head dress, and spoke with a pronounced lisp- er –hiss. Malis looked like a bowman out of Robin Hood that had been burned on only one half of her body, the left … it made her look somewhat like the sister of a certain Gotham lawyer gone bad in the DC comic "Batman." These two were sexually repressed as well. Sith would not touch any of the men in this place with a hundred foot snake. Malis was willing, but her appearance turned the men away. And it had been eons since they last had gotten any. One can excuse them for having a tendency for snapping at people.

Sitting patiently by himself a few steps away from the group is Behemoth. A large muscular man of stone, and the man barely has any face to speak of. He only has the definition of cheek-bones, brows and eyes. The rest is a rocky mass.

"When will you men grow up?" snapped Sith. "You know we can't hurt each other becaussse of that ssstupid Dragon Orb'sss hold on usss! Ssshadow Reaver, ssstop trying to blow out Sssalamander'sss fire, it isss getting annoying!"

"But there's nothing else to do!" whined Shadow Reaver and sulked silently to himself with both women glaring at him.

"I know what we can do for fun!" exclaimed Maelstrom.

"NO!" yelled the women in answer, already knowing what the man would suggest, him having suggested it a million times since they were let out of their chambers a few months ago. Malis only responded out of spite. The last time she had offered herself up, the men had almost literally run for it in horror.

"Is this what has become of the ancient demons that use to terrorize ancient Egypt?" a new voice ask.

The look down the hall where the voice came from as a man walked into the firelight coming from Salamander. His body was covered with a skintight black fabric that showed off all of his muscles, reaching from head to toe. He wore a silver chest plate with a red trim that matched the silver wristbands going up from his wrists to his elbows with the black fabric still covering his hands. The same black fabric went down his legs where it was covered by sliver, knee high, metal boots that curved around his leg muscles. His feet were connected to the armored boots that made a metallic sound with each step he took. He wore a metal belt buckle with a crooked A with a jagged look to the letter. The black fabric went up his neck ending at the start of his head, which was a skintight metal facemask covering his head that's colored differently. Half of the mask is painted dark red while the other half is solid black. The black part of the mask is so dark which none of the demons couldn't even see the breathing or the eyehole on that half of the mask. The red part on the right side he could see the breathing holes (which are really just vertical rectangles) and the eye hole with a scar running across its surface, showing a blue eye underneath.

"Who are you?" Maelstrom said as he and the others clearly remembers what happen the last time they has visitors.

"Call me Anarchy," the man's voice is smooth and silky, hiding the danger that lies underneath, "I have an offer for you people. The Dragon Orb has vast power that will suit my needs for my plan, but the main reason why I'm here is because of four certain dimension hoppers are currently in my dimension. They will get in my way if I try to use any of my plans I have ready to go. That's where you demons come in, they made friends with the Digger girls the three girls who visited this prison before."

"And what do you want us to do?" Sith ask knowing there's a catch to this somewhere.

"I want all of you to go back to this dimension Earth and attack the Diggers and draw the four trouble makers back to this world," Anarchy explains to them.

"Hold it," Behemoth, "What makes you think that we will do as you ask?"

"What's stopping us from going to your dimension and setting up shop there?" Salamander said not liking of being someone else's pawn.

"Dark Hat and his siblings are currently in my world. Dark also made it quite clear that he won't like any God or Demon entering the world they're currently in," Anarchy explains to them.

All of the Demon Lords all became pale at the mere mention of the oldest of the Hat's name. Malis spoke up, "He's there?"

"Yes he is," Anarchy said, "Besides wouldn't all of you want to payback those girls who humiliated you the last two times they were here?" All of the demons started smiling as they would show those girls how powerful they are at their full power. Anarchy then pulls out a bag full of gems, "And these power gems from the demon world should give you a power boost to deal with those heroes running around there as well."

At the Saotome household –

Ranma awoke to the sight of Saki staring down at him. He was laying on a mat in his mothers home. He tried to get up but found that his body was too sore to let him get up.

"Master please don't move you still need to recover," Saki said to her beloved master.

"What happen," Ranma ask but then remembers what happen earlier when he faced off with his older counterpart.

"You got beaten by Mr. Jones," Saki answers him.

"I remember now," Ranma said as he lay back down, "I can't believe how powerful he is."

His mother enters the room, "Son are you feeling better?"

"Why won't he tell me what, I should do with this life of mine," Ranma blurred out as he rested his beaten body.

"Son," his mother said as she saw the hopelessness in his eyes. She didn't know what she could tell him. If she started telling him what to do with his life again she would be like her counterpart in her other son's world. She had already done a lot of harm to her son already and she didn't want to take anymore chances in him hating her.

"Who's here anyways?" Ranma ask as he could hear noise of people moving around in the house through the open door.

"It's your cousin, Kazuya and his friends," his mom answers him, "They're going to stay over here for awhile to help you. May told them of what happen and they all want to help you."

Ranma couldn't help but smile thinking about his cousin and his friends coming over to help him. Even though he and Kazuya are very different they had the same luck with girls as both of them are surrounded by girls. Kazuya is an electrical engineering student with a passion for building his robot squid which he calls Ikariya and implanting an A.I. (artificial intelligence) system into it. Ikariya is a robotic squid, Kazuya's Doraemon Research Project. It is primitive compared to the cyberdolls. The girl's around here just love to play with Ikariya when Kazuya comes over to visit with his friend's who all but for one of the girls is a cyberdoll.

Kazuya had receives May, a hand sized cyberdoll, in a package from Cyberdyne Co. because of an accidental order which happened as a result of a revenge tactic planted in a CD from his rival, Nanbara who is a smarter Kuno. A cyberdoll, May was never paid for by Kazuya. Cyberdolls can control traffic lights and simple electronics and connect to personal computers via what may or may not be USB cables. Later her memory chip was transplanted into a human size body making her normal size now. May also tries to help Saotome win over the heart of Kasumi, his landlord's daughter, but at times she becomes a hindrance. When May's around the girls around here act better as May is everything that they're not making them want to show that they can be just as good as she is.

Kasumi lives in an apartment across a roof with a window that point's towards Kazuya's. Kasumi is very active and athletic and likes baseball. She is the coach of the local children's baseball team. A close friend of Kazuya's she often lets him get away overdue rent payments. Kasumi and Rena often jump out their window, jump across the roof and come through Kazuya's window to visit him. She comes with Kazuya and the others when they come over here to visit, saying she likes all the weird stuff that happens around here.

Then there is the child cyber maid Rena. At first Rena appears to be a lost girl, discovered by Kazuya and May. However, she is another cyberdoll sent by Cyberdyne to recover May. Rena decides that she likes Kazuya and Ikariya and does not return with May to Cyberdyne, instead she moves in with Kasumi. Rena has a fondness for Ikariya, taking it where she goes. And when she visits here with the others she likes to play around with a water-gun targeting anyone who changes with cold water.

There is also Sara another cyberdoll from Cyberdyne's customer service division. She is very addicted to ramen and seems to have an endless stomach for it. Her goal before wass to repossess Cyberdoll May because Kazuya did not pay for her. Now whenever she's around Shampoo and duck boy had to work triple time just to keep up with her stomach for ramen.

Next is the genius cyberdoll Kei who said to have an IQ of 50,000 in human terms. Kei is originally given the mission of formulating a strategy to get May back. She becomes interested in Kazuya after hearing how he regards cyberdolls and changes her mind. Kei's memory bank of facts is extensive, but she often takes a while to process information that is more abstract. She's been trying to figure out how he and the others with curses change shape but every time she tries she does that fazing out thing she does.

Finally there is, Mami (built from Cyberdyne's American branch) arrives later to help Kazuya around the house. She is extraordinarily gifted at all domestic tasks, which causes May to be jealous. Even so, Mami tries to pair Kazuya and May up. Kasumi and Mami get along great with each other and Mami tries to get Tofu to ask Kasumi out on a data every time she comes by.

Ever since he found Saki and her sisters in that old temple, Kazuya has been visiting him a lot as he wants to study their makeup for advancement in his robots. And May and the other cyberdolls like being around with other cyber girls. They have been asking Kazuya to design new bodies that are like the Steel Angel ones who are more organic then theirs. Maybe Kazuya should ask Nuku-Nuku's creator Mr. Kyusaku to help him as together they'll be able to go much faster then doing the robotic stuff by themselves.

"I wonder how the others are doing," Ranma said as he lay's back in bed wondering where this is all heading for, all he wants is to know what he should do now with his life.

Elsewhere in the city –

"So how did you girls like it?" Alice asked as she storks the body laying next to hers.

"I can't believe that my first time would be with another woman," Ukyo said as she still couldn't believe she had let herself be drawn into doing those stuff with these women.

"As if you didn't enjoy yourself," Bunny said laying on her stomach, "You wouldn't let me go till you were done with me." Ukyo blushed a deep red as she tries to hide under the covers of the bed.

"Shampoo hasn't been with a woman since, Shampoo left the village," the purple hair Amazon said as back in the village she had been with a couple of girls before she had fought with Ranma and lost.

"Yeah but you quickly remember how to work a female body," Chessie purrs as she rubs her head against Shampoos side much like a cat would to rub its scent on something.

"I could tell," Miria said as she lay next to the curse cat girl finding her a very 'good' bed partner.

"And you're quite skilled," Katerina smiles as all of the girls now have her flowery scent on them as she had made sure she had rubs her body on theirs.

"But why did you guys had to…" Kaori began but began to blush red at what these women made them do over the course of the night. Which she and the other girls soon didn't try to stop as they soon drove deep into the world of flesh.

"As if you didn't enjoy it," Chiffon giggles as Kaori's blushing face.

"You girls were so shy that it just made us want to eat you girls up even more," Lamia chuckles.

"Not to mention very enthusiastic once we showed you girls the pleasures one can only find with another woman," Herma said as she fingers Kodachi's hair.

"I would have like it more if I wasn't tried down you know," Kodachi said.

"As if you didn't like it," Ace said.

"And enjoy it," Club pointed out.

"Beg for more," Diamond throwing her hat into the ring.

"And crying out master," Heart adds making Kodachi blush harder then Kaori.

"Now for the fifth member of this party," Flora said as she stretch out her wings.

"Fifth!" the four fiancées shouted out at the same time.

"Yes the fifth girl who is going to make her move on Ranma," Alice said, "The middle Tendo sister seeing what her counterpart almost had, wants to try to do what her counterpart almost had."

"You mean she's going to seduce RANMA!" Kaori shouted.

"Why that no good money hungry hussy!" Ukyo growls.

"I'll make her think twice about trying something like this!" Kodachi screams.

"Mercenary girl had this coming for long time," Shampoo said coldly.

"There is another way you know," Bunny pointed out.

"You four can just do what we did to you guys," Chessie said smiling, "Go and tie her to her bed and make her pay for what she has done to all of you girls over the years." All of Ranma's fiancées all smiled wickedly as they thought of what they're going to do to Nabikis young tender shapely body.

In another part of the city –

The genius inventor Kyusaku Natsume, his wife Akiko who works as a manager at Mishima Heavy Industries, and their son Ryunosuke are sitting down at the dinner table having breakfast. Their houseguest Nuku Nuku who is really a schoolgirl cat-brain android is telling them of what she had learn about her friend Ranma Saotome and what had happen the other day in Nerima. She would have told them last night but when she had gotten home they were already in bed.

"I can't believe his father would do something like that!" Akiko said as a father abandoning his wife and daughters just because she only had daughters. She hates it when people are stuck in the past thinking that only a son is worth having.

"Yes Nuku saw this movie about the older Ranma's life!" Nuku Nuku explains to her family.

"And, I had thought I heard everything about the goings on in Nerima," Kyusaku said as he drinks his coffee, "But an older counterpart from another dimension is a new one on me."

"Nuku going to help Ranma out," Nuku Nuku said as she gobbles down her fish, "Kurumi and her sister Karinka were sent out to find Ranma's half sisters, Natsume and Kurumi."

"I hope they will be able to handle the shock," Akiko said hopping that the two sisters won't take it too bad.

"But remember that you do need to go to school first," Ryunosuke reminded her, "And don't go off telling everyone about this okay."

"I will," Nuku Nuku smiles as she sure she can help her friend in his time of need, "I don't need to tell everyone about it, since I have already posted it on the school webpage so that everyone will know it." The Natsume family all developed sweat drops on their foreheads as they realize that right now everyone in Nuku Nuku's school are probably reading about what they had just heard at the dining table right about now.

In a curtain high school –

The classroom of Sousuke Sagara was a buzz with what they had seen yesterday. While they're use to having epic fights taking place around town, robots, monsters and the occasion magic objects that lead into a crazy adventure. But discovering that an older counterpart of the local top fighter has been transported into this world by a powerful reality bending magic user showing up was something else.

"That no good slimeball leaving his wife and daughters behind just because he wants a son to carry on his name!" Kaname growls as she and the others of the class have been setting up the for the play their doing for the school festival

"I heard over the webpage Nabiki Tendo made that Ranma's mom sent two of the Steel Angels to find his two half sisters," Kyoko said looking up from her lab top.

"Good once they find them they can send that fat guy to jail," Mizuki said as she is setting up the lights for the stage.

"With his record it should be easy to send him behind bars," Shirai agree as he helps his girlfriend.

"I already having all the crimes he has committed be put on paper for Mrs. Saotome," Tessa said as she already sent a report and orders to get all the proof that's needed to convict Genma for his many crimes.

"You hirer a privet agency to do a background check on him?" Issei ask as he and the others in the class besides Kaname knew about Tessa and Sousuke being part of a privately own army.

"Yes she did and I made sure that he isn't going to try to run away again. I build a cage that he won't be able to break out of," Sousuke said as he got the props for the play onto the stage as he said he would do the weapons but everyone in class quickly got that idea out of his head as they didn't want him anywhere near any kind of weapon ever since that time he brought the container holding a B.O.W. that cause the entire school body to have all of their clothes eaten away everything but cotton fabrics. (1)

"That's nice of you," Shinji said getting into his costume, "Now he won't be able to run away from the mess he made."

"Thanks," Tessa said as she begins to wonder how to think of a way to get Ranma Jones to share the blueprints of the blaster he had use on A-Ko. A weapon as powerful as that would be a huge advantage for the Mithril anti-terrorism forces. The research division of Mithril, have been working on a way to replicate the Steel Angels after Ranma had discovered them. They have manage to remake the bodies of the Steel Angels but as for the hearts that are needed to power them, they had hit a road block on that as the only ones they had to base the hearts on are the ones inside the bodies of the Steel Angels. Since the only way they could find out how they work is by cutting the hearts out Tessa had the team to go on the blueprints that the inventor Kyusaku Natsume use to make Nuku Nuku the all purpose cultural cat girl androbot, as well as using the designs they had brought from Ranma's cousin Kazuya on his designs on the cyber dolls and A.I. With the blaster designs the research division would be able to produce weapons to help them in their anti-terrorism missions.

"It's a good thing Madhat fix up the mess the chase the younger Ranma and his group left," Kaname said as if it wasn't for him they would never have been able to get this play off the ground. And after their done everyone is going to help Ranma the younger one in dealing with his father and facing Ranma Jones.

In the Tendo household –

Nabiki lay on her bed thinking of everything that happened since yesterday. There was so much to take in at once she didn't even know where to begin. Akane as usually had locked herself in her room and Kasumi has been in her room looking over the medical books in her room saying that she's studying up so that she'll be able to get into Tokyo U. as she's going to get a medical degree so that when Tofu comes back from the medical school in the US she'll be able to join him as his nurse. And Nabiki expects as his wife as her counterpart had done in the other world.

As for her she doesn't know what to do. She saw what her counterpart did for Ranma Jones, giving up her life to save his. Sure she thinks he's cute and is in better shape then most of the guys she knows but she doesn't know if she likes him in that way. But then again she has been doing everything to make sure that the other girls don't get him either.

"Well Nabiki will you either go with your feelings for Ranma and live with the regret of what could have been. Or go and try to find out whether or not that my feelings for my feelings for him is true or not," she said to herself as she lays there on her bed.

"So they were right."

Nabiki sat up to find Ranma's four fiancées in her room. All of them staring at her with cold glares.

"You think we'll let you just go and seduce Ranma, well honey you have another thought coming to you," Ukyo said as she stands shoulder to shoulder with the other fiancées.

"We're not going to let you just go and take Ranma without a fight," Kaori said making Nabiki back away on her bed pressing her back on the wall as the four women who are all better fighters then she is walk forward towards her.

"That's why instead of fighting you because we want Ranma we have decide to let you join us," Shampoo said smiling.

"What?" Nabiki ask as she stares at them wondering what's going on, "Hey what are you guys doing?" They began disrobing in front of till they stood naked in front of her.

"We're going to let you join us, but that doesn't mean that we're going to forgive you in causing us so much trouble by making sure that we didn't get a chance at winning Ranma," Kodachi said smiling as she on the other girls began crawling towards the middle Tendo sister, "That's why for the rest of the day you're going to be our plaything."

"Girls come on stop this now," Nabiki said as they began pulling on her clothes but against four well train martial artists she stood little chance against them.

"Now, now we have already made sure that your sisters aren't going to step in on us. The room is now sound poof and we hang a sign on your door saying keep out," Kodachi said smiling as she and the other girls pull Nabiki in the middle of the bed with all of them surrounding her.

"Can't we make a deal here," Nabiki ask as the four fiancées shook their heads in responses and drove in for the feast lay out before them.

In another world –

Dejima Island is located near New Port City of Japan and is occupied by refugees from the war torn lands on the Asia continent. The city is buzzing with the events that have happen in the recent days since the bombings by refugees in New Port City. First there were the eleven people who have become martyrs to the refugees in gaining rights in Japan, as all the members of the primary Individual Eleven (except for one) have kill each other with swords in a televised mass suicide. That cause many of the refugees to start banning together to fight for equal rights with the people of Japan.

They're also talking heavily with what happen before the mass suicide, the attack on the Minister building by the strange woman who wore a gasmask. Who seems to have magical powers as from what they have been able to find out on the net that she carried no electronic devices on her. And also the fact that she made a golem made out of chunks of the floor of the building using a potion made from water imp nails and sent it to attack the guards while she escape before it was stop with a tank shell.

She took only one thing from the building, a red stone statue of a tiger. Which from the information that can be found on the net has magical powers of opening gateways to other worlds. She was help by a cyborg that's design to look like a hybrid between a man and a T-rex. And the news about a cyborg with long claws and four people dress in armor attacking temples have been on all of the major sites on the net. The Runes as they call themselves have quickly become pop icons as big as the Laughing Man.

In one of the buildings a man name Hideo Kuze sat at a table waiting for the meeting to take place. He's kept busy by folding paper cranes. He had to use every one of the networks in the city to get this meeting to take place. The person he's meeting doesn't have a cyber brain or uses the net so it came to footwork and going into the cities underbelly to finally find someone who knew how to get in touch with this person.

"I see that you have come alone as we have both agreed upon," a pink haired woman in leather wearing a gasmask said as she enters the room, "I scanned the entire building and I'm glad that you kept your word."

"Yes I want to have a trust between us," Kuze said as the woman sat down on the other side of the table.

"I heard you have something me and my group has been looking for," the woman said getting right down to the point.

"Yes, I have required the Yellow Phoenix statue your group the Runes have been looking for," Kuze replies. He had the refugees search all over for the statue as he realize that if they found it first they could use it to get the Runes to help them in gaining independents from the Japan government. With the powers they have it would be easier for his cause in getting what he needs for the plan to work.

"What do you want in exchange for it," the woman ask, "I know that if we try to take it by force that there's a chance the statue could be broken by one of your people."

"Yes I have given that order incase your people try to take it," Kuze answers, "I want your group to help me in making Dejima Island independent from Japan."

The woman gave out a chuckle underneath her gasmask, "You know you remind me of someone I know. Wanting to help others without gaining anything in return, you're one of the few noble people I have met in this place."

"Do we have a deal?" Kuze ask.

"I have to talk to the others first but, I'm sure they go for it," the woman said, "As long as they can have some fun breaking things. Give me two days to talk this over with my people."

"Alright we meet again in the same building in two days then," Kuze said to her. As she sat up to leave he asked her something, "You know my name but I don't know yours."

"The name's Estella," the woman said as she steps through the door disappearing in the hallways in a flash of light.
