Shaman King: Title of the series. Also the shaman who wins the Shaman Fight and apparently meets/gets as his/her

main spirit the Great Spirit/King of Spirits/Spirit King/Kami-sama/God. The Shaman Kings have been known as

saviors in the past (it's postulated that this includes Jesus and Buddha.)

Shaman Fight: The fight run every 500 years to decide the Shaman King

Oversoul: A shaman is capable of merging a spirit with an inanimate object, but when a shaman does so, some

energy visibly leaks out - that energy is an oversoul

Furyoku: Furyoku is a shaman's level of personal power - it's used to form an oversoul

Asakura Hao: 1,250,000

Iron Maiden Jeanne: 500,000

In Tankouban 7:

Yoh's furyoku: 210. Ren's furyoku: 350. Amidamaru's power: 920. Basson's power: 710.

Shamans usually have one Guardian Spirit/a Main Spirit, but some like the Judges can have multiple.

Ranma is both a Shaman and Chi Master, so unless he has a fragment of God, like Hao with the Spirit of the Fire,

he'll need the massive battery of spiritual power.

Shikigami- Spirit familars summoned by shamans, range from Yohmei's creepy leaf to Hao's demon like.

5 Baimashi Arashi is a combo of Naruto's Neji's divination strikes and Fist of the North Star's Hokuto Shin Ken Techniques.

Chapter 00Prologue

Izuma, Japan

1981

Keiko Asakura, young miko of a local shrine and descendant of Shamans looks at her sister Nodoka. There

both dressed in the shrine robes. Keiko is usually very serene, but she looks worried, while Nodoka, the easy-going

one, looks serious. Not a good thing.

"Are you sure about this, Nodoka?" say Keiko to her Oneesama, "Otousama and Okaasama will be very upset."

"They place the continuation of there bloodlines over my happiness." says Nodoka, " With Genma I don't feel

confined with huge responsibilities. He's wild, untamed, and as free as Great Forests "

"Always the Romantic, It's no wonder your personal ghost is wife of a Samurai turned Poet."

"You love Mikihisa, so the arrangement is good. Dao gives me the creeps."

"I understand." says Keiko nearly crying

"Sayonara, Imouto."

Saotome House, Juuban District

1987

"Rei-chan!" says a cute chibi-Ranma Saotome to a cute little girl with long black hair and purplish eyes.

"Ranchan!" says Rei to the little boy with blue-gray eyes and long jet hair in a ponytail.

Grandpa Hino, Priest of the Hikawa Jinja, watches as his granddaughter goes off to play with the grandson

of his old friend, Onmyoji, Yohmei Asakura. He remembers 6 years ago when she came to him with her husband.

She was expecting and needed help. He remembered a client Yohmei has noted. A young fisherman, 40 years ago,

who later became an extremely wealthy businessman. He had defied his parents wishes to marry a half-american

girl, what they called an ai no ko. When Ichiro Kannon learned of Nodoka and her plight, he gave her enough for

her family to live content on, including rebuying the Saotome ancestral home, which Genma lost years ago. He said

he owed the Asakura more than she could believe.

"So how are Rei's Parents?" says Nodoka coming up behind him holding a tea set and a worried tone.

"My daughter is growing weaker day by day. The doctors say that she has less than a month left." he says in a

defeated tone, then he gets angry. "'Representive' Hino is too busy with the Diet to visit. He already signed the

paperwork stating she will live with me."

"Always the businessman. It will be nice to have Rei around. Genma is obsessed with Ranma becoming the greatest

martial artist of his generation. He wants to take my baby on an epic training trip. He says I'll just make him soft. I

wish I knew why he was so determined."

"I did a little research. Genma's old master was the infamous Happosai, Founder and Shihan of Ganso Musabetsu

Kakutö Ryü. I think he fears Happy will return someday and wants Ranma to be an ace."

"I hope..."

Nodoka's voice trails off as Ranma and Rei play with there imaginary friend, or not so imaginary.

Neko-ken Training

7 years ago

1991

The Neko-Ken. Cat-Fist. Origins of the feline style of fighting dates back to ancient Egypt,

before the founding of Tell Basta. It was designed by the Cat Goddess Bastet and her co-wife Sekhmet. It was meant

for a race of cat-people, a way to channel there powerful animal spirits into a perfect fighting style. Bastet, Goddess

of mothers, children, and pregnant women, and Sekhmet, Bloodthirsty and violent Goddess of war and divine

vengence together formed the Way of the Guardian Cat. When the invaders grew, the cat tribes moved to follow the

great cats including the tigers of India and Asian.

Great Warriors and Monks learned a secret varient of what would be the Cat Fist, but the greedy and

foolish also tried to learn and teach others. Thus was born the corrupted, Dreaded Nekoken.

Ranma is now experiencing the corrupted version. On the Spiritual level, One of Three things occurs. One,

the person is unable to deal with the trauma and dies. Two, since humans don't have Animal Spirits, the person's

spirit opens to a void and "bleeds" to death. In the Third case, the negative energy of the dying cats and the pit

creates a dark spirit like how humanity's bad karma creates Oni in Japanese mythologythat possesses the Trainee

either killing it or sending it into an insane feral state.

Those options apply to a normal human, but Ranma has the blood of Shaman. The dark spirit is channeled,

so the effects are weakened. Instead of permenent Insanity, it becomes temporary, In another instant another spirit

binds to Ranma to counter the negative, parasite-like savage cat becomes a kitten, and a young boy

is protected.

When Ranma awakens he sees and remembers a different world. No more friends in everything. No more

magical spirits. No more Imaginary friends.

Saotome House, Juuban

Present

1998

Ranma Saotome, Master of Musabetsu Kakutö Saotome Ryü, Prodigy of Nyuchezuu Wushu, and aqua-

hermamorphic chaos-magnet martial artist. Ranma is currently taking a break from his chaotic mess knwon as his

life. He thought things would get better after the failed wedding, but it turned out not as much as he hoped. Genma

and Souun are still shogi/ Go- playing drinking buddies still planning on marrying there children and retiring to

luxury. Kasumi is still the repressed housewife and head of the house. Nabiki is out of high school, but she's still an

extortionist and chibi-yakuza-wannabe.

Ukyou "Ucchan" Kuonji is having a breakdown over she may lose her fiancee and her best friend. Ryouga

"Lost Boy" Habiki no longer hates Ranma with the same passion, but is still unstable. Nyu Shan Pu is getting

desperate and Mu Su can't accept Ranma's not the obstacle in a relationship with Shan Pu. Kolon is divided. On one

hand, Ranma is the best of his generation. The best there tribe could ever get this century. On the other, he

defeated Saffron, something the Amazons could never do, making him uncontrollable and unstable. Her Pride

further messes things up.

Finally, his True Uncute Fiancee Akane keeps bouncing from insecure and worried to jealous and angry to

loving and frightened to the rest of the emotional rainbow.

Ranma sighs and says, "I wish I had some help."

Suddenly, there is a faint breeze and for a moment the air smells of cherry blossoms. Ranma feels

something hit him in the head and hit the floor. He turns to see an old leather bound book. A Large Very Thick

Book. The picture on the front is a rune-edged circle divided into four by a detailed cross. Ranma picks it up and

opens it. The words at first are written in a half-chicken-scratch half-pictograph language, but then the letters morph

into 20th century Japanese!

Ranma scans the first page the back, Japanese read from right to left, it turns out to be a table of contents.

The book is most martial arts focusing instead of external training like Musabetsu Kakutö , but internal training and

Ki manipulation. It lists various techniques and he notices "Cleansing, removal of poison and curses" the most.

There are also two notes. The first is you need to master all the previous lessons to do the higher lessons. The last

page in the book is numbered page 701 and each page averages 2 techniques. Which means to learn final technique

#1401 you must master the previous 1400 lessons.

"Cleansing. Number 1-2-5."

The second note is actually a spirit ward. As he looks at it letters appear.

"Only the Worthy can see the Knowledge within. Those who are not see nothing written. The Language of

the Worthy becomes the Language of the Written. Once the Worthy has become the Student, he must not and will

not stop until he is the Master. Until the Master has the Student become, the Knowledge will follow. Until the

Master has the Student become, the Written will be indestructable."

Suddenly, there is the sweet flower smell again and more letters, Kanji, appear.

"The book is magic and adapts itself to the reader. It's designed to teach you everything. If you start you

can't stop until you've mastered the entire book. It's teaching style is the America-jin KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid!"

Ranma sweatdrops, then thinks.

PROS: A Possible Cure for my Curse.

1401 New Techniques.

With Internal Styles, Chance to get some Inner Peace.

Training. Excuse to stay away from Nerima.

CONS: I won't be able to stop BUT I never give up.

Somebody could steal it BUT only I can read it and it would return to me.

It could be destroyed BUT the note said it was indestructable

It'll take alot of time BUT it's worth it!

As Ranma agrees the book morphs again. Instead of saying "Student" in the Lesson Instructions, it says

"Student Ranma".

Chapter#: 01

Chapter: Training Begins

Day 31 #125

Ranma sits crosslegged on a sheet of rice paper. He had learned many techniques in the last month. He

could form a visible ball of chi, anchored his chi with the earth chi, amd move like ghost, doing things like running

up trees, walking across rice paper without breaking it, and walking on water without making a ripple. He felt like a

hero out of Chinese mythology.

Ranma had changed from the arrogant, immature martial artist that came to Nerima. He's patient, silent, and

self-reliant. He no longer would do dangerous or foolish things, like when he dated Kunou to get the Mangan-maru

"wish-fulfillment sword". He no longer suffured from extreme cronic foot-in-mouth disease, he can speak like a

cultured Japanese not a wandering barbarian. He's no longer dependant on others, no longer needing attention or

Genma anymore. Ranma can now stand strong on his own two feet.

Ranma is glad Lesson #3 is a speed-reading technique based on memory and ki potential. With his eudetic

photographic memory and Ki potential from the Kachü Tenshin Amaguriken training, Ranma could now read an

entire encleopedia-size book in less than a minute. He no longer had problems Reading and was not only finished

reading his High School Books and University books, but most of the Public Library.

Ranma begins the Cleansing. He opens his Ki flows and makes himself part of the natural flows. The knots

in the Ki flows unclot and unravel, new Ki is pumped in, and his flows begin to move smoothly. The corrupted,

negative energy in his body is purged, while energy from the Earth replaces it. Ranma feels himself acheive partial

oneness with the universe. He feels the cleansing wave.

Suddenly, the binds on Ranma's memory snap. The pressure points and other controls placed on him by

those seeking to control him shatter. The minor brain damage caused by Genma's insane training is corrected.

Ranma remembers a happy childhood before the training. He remembers his mom before they met again at the

Tendos. He also begins to remember a different perception, a world were ghosts and spirits existed.

Ranma feels a dark force within him, trying to corrupt the flows. Ranma feels it out and recognizes the

hatred, fear, and savage primal nature. The Neko-Ken! Ranma at first feels fear, then focuses. Ranma refuses to live

in fear, his training has taught him to face all fears. The Neko-ken is not a true creature, but dark energy, so Ranma

focuses the cleansing on it.

In the Real World, Ranma has been sitting in meditation for the last 20 minutes. Ranma aura appeared as a

blue glow, then shifted to pure white. Now, a dark mass rises from Ranma like smoke. It takes the distorted shape of

a great cat's shadow. The mass, the spirit of the nekoken, roars in rage as it tries to reclaim it's host, but it fails.

Ranma's aura flares brightly and the Dark Spirit is destroyed, like a building in a nuclear explosion!

Ranma finally feels a surge as the last of the pollution is purged from his being. He then feels another force

within him, a spirit he recalls as his memory regenerates. Ranma opens his eyes as a glowing cloud flows from his

body to the floor infront of him. The glowing mist condenses into a glowing pillar that further contracts into a

humanoid form. The form of a tall, beautiful woman with long white-blond hair, pale skin, and golden eyes. She

also has little ears on the top of her head and nine white fox tails. She's dressed in a white kimono with a flower

pattern. Ranma also sees a black haired woman in a sakura petal blue kimono and carrying a katana.

"I remember you Sakura, your my mother's personal ghost. So it was you who lead me to the book, but who are you

Kumiho?"

The fox-woman speaks softly. Her voice filled with compassion.

"I was a fox that had lived for a 1000 years. I was one of the few truly evil creatures of Korean folklore. Then I

encountered divine messengers of Inari and they lead me to Kishimo-jin."

"Kishimo-jin!"

"Yes, The Japanese Buddhist patron goddess of little children. Her name means 'mother goddess of the

demons' and she was originally a monstrous demon from India (called Hariti). She abducted little children and

devoured them, until the great Buddha converted her. Now she represents the Buddha's appeal to compassion, and

his devotion to the welfare of the weak. As the Buddha changed her, she changed me. I became like Kodomo-no-

Inari, a fox protector of children.'

'For 1001 years, I was a ruthless protector of children, viciously punishing those who harm them. Several

Warlords fell because they dared to harm a child. Then one night I sensed a child's pain and followed the scent of

fear and blood to the pit. I was going to cause your father's destruction, when the Cat Spirit began it's corruption. I

melded myself within you turning the savage cat into a kitten, preventing it's bloodlust from surfacing."

Ranma feels another surge of power and watches as a glow spreads over him, an image of a chinese woman

can be scene before it fades away. Ranma's form shifts from 165 cm 5', 05" to fluidic 190 cm 6', 03". His hair

grows shifting from pure black to red-black, the Ryü no hige "dragon's whisker" falls from the lengthening lochs.

His skin also changes, scars vanish, and the color tans. Ranma looks down at his new form in a now skintight silk

outfit.

In a cursed land, an old chinese guide and his cute little girl Plum watch as a pillar of light erupts from one

pool.

"What the hell happened!" says both Ranma and Sakura.

Suddenly, the unnamed fox-woman hears whispers in the wind and begins to smile.

"Chöchuanshan. What you call Jusenkyö. Land of Cursed Springs. The waters of change flow from

Jusendo into the springs filling them with magic. When a person or animal drowns, the sadness and negative chi

bind the spirit's form to the pool. Over the centuries, the concentration of dark spirits and magic reached a level so

that if someone disrupts the waters, upseting the spirit bound to it, it bonds the magic and form to the guilty.'

'When you purified your chi, the negative chi binding you to the spirit and the spirit to Jusenkyö was

purged. That cured your curse, but you also freed the original spirit of the drowned girl. There is no longer a Spring-

of-Drowned-Girl. The reason you changed is the purified waters, waters of Jusendo, the waters of change. Saffron

gained great power from Jusendo and he was only exposed to the magic for a short period. His evolution was

incomplete, thanks to his injuries. The two years worth of magic within you, plus your purification, enabled you to

ascend into a stronger, more appropiate form."

"How do you know all that?" says Ranma, looking very curious.

"Look to your left."

Ranma turns to see a couple of water sprites. They look like tiny blue fairies with mist like wings. Ranma

thinks two water sprites bonded to me, no wonder I'm a water magnet. There holding a scroll labeled the Origin of

Chöchuanshan in Chinese. Sweatdrop!

Nodoka walks in to find a taller, more manly Ranma talking with Sakura, a couple of water sprites, and a

nine-tailed fox-woman?

"So your saying you knew about Jusenkyö since I was 8?" says Ranma to the Sprites.

"Water Sprites like me and Mizuko" says the white-haired Kooriko, "gather and learn info on dangerous waters,

such as cursed and magic springs."

"Yeah." say Mizuko, the blue-haired one, "Agua Caliente. The Native American healing spring. Dancing-Water of

the Fairies. Hippocrene, The fountain of the Muses on Mount Helicon. Acadine. Aganippe. Fonte Aretusa.

shudder Hermaphroditos."

"What's Hermaphroditos?" asks Ranma looking worried.

"Something worse than Spring of the Drowned Girl." says Mizuko.

Kooriko pulls out a set of glasses and four-point grad hat and puts them on

"HERMAPHRODITOS was one of the Erotes, and a handsome son of Hermes and Aphrodite. He was

loved by the Nymphe Salmakis who prayed that she could be with him forever. Some god, on hearing her prayer,

merged their two forms into one, to form a being that was both male and female. Hermaphroditos was depicted as an

Erote (one of the many winged Love-God attendants of Aphrodite) but with both male and female attributes. Thus

who bath in his/her pool become herms."

There is a collective shudder at that one.

"Don't Sprites play with Nymphs?" says the fox-woman.

"Well Shiroko, Water Sprits tend to flow together" says Mizuko giggling.

"Flow after Ranma. Ranma has had numberous water spirits after him along with a few cat spirits. Your charm

extends beyond the mortal plane."

"WAI! MY SON IS SO MANLY!" so Nodoka, while Sakura says, "WAI! MASTER RANMA IS SO

MANLY!"

Ranma, Shiroko, and the two water sprites sweatdrops. Sometimes a shaman is a BAD influence on there

Ghost.

After a few minutes and some tea, Nodoka asks about his changes.

"I found a training manual last month, it contained a cleansing technique to remove my curse. Today, I

finally learned enough to use the technique. The curse's negative forces were purged and the spirit of the drowned

girl was freed from Jusenkyö, but the magic remained. It changed me according to my spirit, like when Saffron

evolved."

"So a Manlier Body to match an even Manlier Spirit!" Nodoka giggles, her head filled with visions of grand babies.

The spirits, except Sakura, think the same thing, she has manly on the brain.

"So what are your plans, son?"

"Mom" says Ranma, "I want to finish my training and maybe learn a few things about being a Shaman. I need

Shaman training and the book says I need experience after a certain number of lessons. So I want to do some

traveling, a personal training trip."

"For Shaman training, I guess you'll have to meet my grandparents in Izumo and Aoyama. I don't know about Chi

training, thoe"

"I think the book says I can find help on that part on my own. What I need you to do is postpone going back to

Nerima. I want to finish my training before I return."

"It takes most a lifetime to become a Shaman, but if anybody can pull it it's you my son.."

Tendou-ke, Nerima

Day 64 #256

WHAT!

The shout comes from the Tendos minus Kasumi, the Kunous, the Amazons, Ukyou, Ryouga, Happosai,

and Genma. The Nerima Wrecking Crew is shocked by Nodoka's news. Ranma has been gone for over two months,

and he decided to take a 2 year training journey!

"What could the ungrateful boy learn without me?" yells Genma.

Alot! thinks everybody as they continue to shout.

"THE SCHOOLS WILL NEVER BE JOINED! WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" says fountain-sama

"Coward! Running Away! I will have REVENGE!" says the ham with girl problems.

"He could have taken his Cute Fiancee!" says Miss Okonomiyaki

"Foul Sorceror! You dare avoid my rightous wrath! I will vanquuish you and free the Pig-tailed girl." says the

Victorian fruitcake

"Ranma-Sama where are you?" says This-is-your-brain-on-everything.

"Airen! Why no take Wife?" says the deranged hair care product.

"How dare you taunt my Shampoo!" says the blind, deranged hair care product,

"Saotome, you still owe me money." says Lil' Miss Yakuza '98.

"RANMA-CHAN! How dare you deprive your master of your breasts." says 100-year Pervert.

"RANMA-NO-BAKA!" says the Uncute Tomboy.

"SILENCE!"

Eveybody quiets down at Nodoka's shout. She holding her katana not like a clumsy housewife they've seen,

but a Kenjutsu stance that makes Kunou blush.

"Saotome-san" say the Nyuchezuu Elder Kulon, "I sense something different about you."

"I haven't used my family heritage in years. The same heritage Ranma needs training in."

"Heritage." says Kolon carefully,"Nodoka, what was your maiden name?"

"Nodoka Asakura"

Kolon, Happosai, and Tatewaki Kunou nearly have heart attacks, the rest look confused except Genma who

looks and is stupid.

"As in Onmyoji Yohmei Asakura?" says Tatewaki, pale.

"As in the Itako Kino Asakura?" says Kolon, sweating

"As in the Ascentic Monk, Mikihisa Asakura?" says Happosai, pissing himself.

"As in the Miko Keiko Asakura?" says Ryouga, near faint.

"In that order: My Father, My Mother, My Brother-in-Law, and my Little Sister."

Tatewaki faints his Great Enemy grandson to the man behind the wealthiest and most noble bloods!

Kolon locks up, Ranma is the grandson of her an honorary amazon, a woman who helped her people 16

times! I'm so screwed!

Happosai high-tails it out of there. Ranms's uncle nearly sealed him forever!

Ryouga feels worse than ever. His father owes his life to that Miko and so does he. No wonder Akari is

mad at him, he is obsessed!

Chapter: Shaman Search

Izuma, Japan

Day 65 #260

Ranma stands in a beautiful forested area. There are many tall green trees with a few scattered leaves

behind him. In front of him is a calm, clear river with banks of sand and clay. Ranma is dressed in a sleeveless white

silk shirt, white pants, and white sandals. On his back is a huge backpack and at his side are Shiroko and the water

sprites.

"Ranma, what was Lesson #200?" says Shiroko, "You said it would help with your martial arts?"

"Weight of the Spirit." says Ranma looking at his mother's map, "It similar to Strength of the Mountain. It weaves a

pattern into the ambient air and my clothing, and links it to the Earth below. It changes the user's weight. It can

make a down feather weight the same as a large steel bolt. It can also make walking threw air seem like walking

threw liquid mercury."

"Cool!" says Mizuko

"So how much do you weight now?" says Kooriko

"10 times normal. Naked, I weigh bare 85 kilos, but right now I weight just over 850. " says Ranma, "The pack

normally weights a 100 kilos, but it's now at a thousand."

"You weigh over 4000 pounds!" says Kooriko.

"You don't look fat." says Mizuko.

"Mist Head!" says Kooriko, spraying the other sprite with snow flakes.

"If you weigh so much why is the ." says Shiroko "You left no trail, as I do."

"#100. Ghost Dancing." says Ranma with a cocky grin, "Walk across rice paper without breaking it. Walking on

water for masters. Using both techniques is not only building both my physical abilities and granting me finer

control, but rapidly increasing my energy level."

They hear a giggle and turn to see a couple of nymphs in the river. The water entities have seductive looks

on there face.

"Increase sex appeal too." says Kooriko.

Ranma blushes and his companions giggle. Ranma is more powerful and smarter, but he still has problems

with women.

Suddenly, the group feels a dark force, a surge of negative energy. The nymphs dive back into the river,

while Ranma's two water sprites hide behind him. Shiroko takes a stance, as Ranma takes his own.

They watch as the area infront of them darkens like a cloud over the sun. The group feels nature warp as

the dark energy pollutes the area. The shadows darken and condense, flowing rapidly into each other. The black

streams dive into the ground, infusing the soil with theer corrupt power. The soil dies turning a motted grey, then the

dust condenses into seven humanoid shapes. As the shadows clear, seven humanoid golems made of black Earth

stand ready to attack.

"and I thought the trip was going to be dull." says Ranma with confidence.

Ranma is knocked back by the first blow, then he adapts to the fact each is stronger than the Musk Tiger-

boy Mint and as tough as pressurized reinforced concrete. Ranma seems to flow around the golems, moving with

grace beyond the grestest dancer and speed so great it leaves confusing afterimages. Ranma knows the Bakusai

Tenketsu would fail, because there energy is so badly polluted and corrupt. Ranma is forced to used to use Akane's

method.

With a blow, the first shatters into a shower of crumbling soil. The chi-charge in the blow preventing it

from reforming. A fluidc kick shatters the head of the second, while a backhand blow to the chest destroys the third.

Ranma grabs the sidekick of the fourth and smashes him into the fifth. A quick finger strike into the pile of dirt,

stops them from reforming. The sixth tries to jump Ranma, but a closeline nails it before a cresent kick sends it to

oblivion.

The seventh is about to attack from behind, when a spirit ward lands on it's back. The negative energy

streams out of it like smoke, as the golem freezes in place. Ranma and the gang watch as the energy leaves the soil.

The coloring shifting from evil dark grey to dead gray to dust white. A faint wind carries the dust and blows it away.

Ranma turns to see a small, old man with graying hair done in an odd style and big eyebrows. He's not as

withered as Cologne or Happosai, but he's older than most Nerimas. He's dressed in the robes of an Onmyoji-

Diviner, Seer or Soothsayer- Flying around him are several leave sprites. He has a serious look on his face.

"I am Onmyoji Yohmei Asakura. Who are you and what are you doing on my land?"

"My name is Ranma Saotome. I'm Nodoka's son and I came to learn grandfather."

Yohmei is so shocked the leaf shikigami crash and burn.

"So my wayward daughter had a son." says Yohmei as sets down his tea.

"You came her to get training as a Shaman, but you seem fairly advance. What training have you had before,

grandson?"

"Well to start, Mom told me to say you were right about Genma and the only good that came from him was me."

says Ranma pulling two books from pack. One is Genma's training manual, the other is the mystic training book. He

opens Genma's manual to the Nekoken and hands it to his grandfather.

"When I was 5, my father, Genma, took me on a 10 year training mission threw Japan and China. He

wanted me to be the greatest martial artist of my generation. When I was 10, he came across the Nekoken training

manual. The training robbed me of many things including my Shaman abilities and my memories. If it wasn't you

Shiroko there, I would have become a blood thirsty beserker..."

Ranma continues on telling about the various training methods, Jusenkyö, and the troubles he faced in

Nerima, from the fiancees and rivals to the battle with Saffron. Grandfather Yohmei is feeling many things. He's

horrified by the training his grandson went threw, it's beyond the advance training of expert adult shamans. He's

both amused and amazed by the chaos which is Nerima, and he's EXTREMELY ANGRY at Genma for all the

problems he's caused. Yohmei can see that all of his grandson's problems can be traced to his son-in-law. The fat

bastard is responsible for the curses, the fiancees even Shampoo because he ate the Prize and taught the behaviour,

the rivals, and bad parenting caused Ranma's social problems. Yohmei doesn't need to divine to know all Genma

wants is an easy retirement with he and Souun playing shogi while living off there children's sweat. Tohmei makes a

mental note to reach a few special contacts.

Ranma finishes with the training book, the cleansing, and his new friends.

"Well Grandson. You appear to be a born warrior and natural hero. The training manual you found,

according to what you describe, is white chi magic. Your on the path of becoming a white chi warrior mage."

"Chi Magic? You mean chi can be magic?"

"The fundamental basis for all life is a flow of force from the Cosmos to the being that it is affecting. This concept is recognized around the world as Mana (to

the Huna of Hawaii), Chi/Ki to the Martial arts masters of the East, Prana to the Sufis of India and so on. Many names for the same basic force that grants life and changes the

universe around us. These forces are without "morals" as we see them, they are not good nor are they evil, they simply are. This energy is measurable and perceptible to the aware

and/or trained mind, thus it can be defined and utilized.'

'Many Legandary Heroes and Masters of the East, possessed the power. The powers of the Monkey King, Sun Wu Kong were chi based magic. White Chi Wizards spend there lives helping and protecting others and nature. Many have tried to become full masters, but not all have reached the level."

"Why?"

"Well Grandson, some don't have the potential, some die before they reach the level, and some are

distracted. My dear old friend Chi Master Phong was killed by the dark chi wizard Daolon Wong Many powerful

martial artists were killed by the Akuma, Master of Satsu no Hadou. Dark Chi wizards and dark warriors see White

Chi users as threat to there powers. So do demons and other corrupt forces."

"and the distractions?" says Shiroko very curious.

"The strong positive aura created by strong White Chi Mages attracts people to them. I knew a Chi Wizard who

lived near India, her training was imcomplete, but she was happy with her 7 husbands. A friend I know in Korean

failed on his 15th year, but he's happy with his 6 wives."

"7 husbands!" says Ranma, "6 wives!"

"The greater the life energy, the greater the appeal. Since White Chi training increases ones vitality and stamina, it

takes more than one normal human to satisfy them. At least if you fail your training, I'll get some great

grandchildren!"

It's interesting to see a martial arts god and three spirits facefall.

Day 112 #448

Yohmei Asakura watches his eldest grandson with pride. Unlike Yoh, who took months to learn how to

summon a leaf sprite, Ranma learned to summon it first try. Chi mastery usually enhances a person's primary traits.

Dark Chi users have there darkest traits enhanced. There greed, lust, hatred, or obsession to best is boosted to

dangerous levels. In white chi users, positive traits are boosted, such as confidence, caring, or honor. In Ranma it

seems to have boosted his natural ability to learn and his drive to succeed. The techniques are also very similar to

deep spiritual training, so they work together.

Ranma is also watched by his grandmother, the Itako Kino Asakura. She came when she heard of her

second grandson. After the letters she got from Anna, she expected him to be a lazy bum with talent like Yoh. She

was surprised to find him a powerful seasoned warrior studying to become a White Chi Mage. She summoned

various martial arts spirits to test Ranma, and she was surprised that not only did Ranma surpass all of them, but

learned all the techniques of those he hyoi gattai with. It's a remarkable Shaman ability. If he wants to learn how to

paint, he hyoi gattai with the ghost of an artist and learns there abilities, permenently. As she watches, she also

afraid. She keep it behind her cold persona, but both her and Yohmei can feel Ranma's Furyoku. It's immense!

The two Elder Asakuras watch as Ranma plays with the leaf shikagami, he runs up tree trunks like walking

on the ground, runs across water, and leaps so high he might aswell fly. Ranma's companion spirits watch from the

sidelines giving an occassional cheer. Ranma now has many spiritual companions and friends, but has yet to claim

personal ghosts. He eudetic hyoi gattai ability and his own immense energy level has made it redundant. With most

shamans, they need to train to use a powerful ghost, like Yoh and Amidamaru, but Ranma has yet to find a strong

enough spirit to interest him.

Suddenly, the Mystic Manual- as Ranma has nicknamed the chi mage book- glows a faint blue glow. It

levitates, opens to the marked page, and before the eyes of the humans and spirits, grows a few dozen more pages.

Letters appear on each page after it finishes forming. After it's finishes it flies into Ranma's hands.

"Woah! I guess my Learn-or-Nothing Teacher got as few ideas" he's says looking at the added text, "Map to Best

Choice Oversoul objects. Shamanistic Training. Tchou-senjiryaketsu?"

Yohmei replys to Ranma's question, looking very surprised, "a book which teaches a person how to

increase furyoku and how to tell how an opponent will attack based on his or her furyoku movements."

"Cool. If it's in the book, I have to learn it."

Yohmei and Kino Asakura look at the Mystic Manual. They both think the same thing. "Wish Yoh had a

book like that."

Day 120 #480

Lesson #450. Flight. Manipulating energy pressure around the user, drawing himself along with it. It takes

alot of skill to manipulate the aura to just hover, let alone fly. The amount of energy would be immense despite it's

pressure basis, but a previous lesson enabled him to rapidly tap in enviromental chi, including the air itself. Barely a

third way threw it and I can fly, thinks Ranma as he sours over the ocean.

Ranma laughs when he remembers his grandfathers reaction just over a week ago, when he learned how to

fly. He even heard with his enhanced hearing "What is he, a martial arts god in training." It was also as funny as

when, he came out the "Hwang Chun," a cave which the dead journey to, which is also a testing ground for

shamans.

"Wasn't there one of these to the North, I remember my father tossing me into one when I was twelve. It was pretty

scary, then"

Grandpa was only in shock for ten minutes, than after telling him to go study his manual, went off talking

about maiming pandas.

After that he decided to find his own personal ghosts, using the Best Choice Oversoul Object map in his

Mystic Manual. With his new ability to fly and supernatural senses, he figures they should be no problem to get.

Day 125 #500

Object 01 Anruioshi Katana

There are many stories about swords in Japan. Many powerful legendary weapons.

Masamune was a sword maker. These days you could buy one of his blades the same way you could buy a

Stradivarius violin. The Masamune of legend is said to have contended with Muramasa, another sword maker. They

both made a sword, Masamune and Muramasa, and they were both excelent blades. They were put to a test: the

blades were stood in a stream...leaves floating on the river's surface all flocked to the Muramasa and were cut in half

by it, while leaves all floated around the Masamune. It is for that reason that the Masamune was called the holy

sword, because while it could do violence, its power was in avoiding it, while Muramasa attracted violence like a

magnet

The sword maker Mosuke create a sword of such beauty, his lord ordered his death so he could never make

another. The samurai who was sent was his best friend and refused to kill him. The samurai killed all those sent after

him earning him the name Kijin -"Fiend." He died fighting on Funbari hill waiting for his friend. This is the Legend

of Yoh's ghost Amidamaru.

During the Warring States Period 1192 - 1600, a ronin- a masterless samurai- dedicated his life to the

perfection of his sword style. The Daimyo sent 100 men to kill the samurai, all never returned. There are two

legends about the sword. The first says forged by the samurai with his own blood. The other says it was made from

the body of a demon, just as the Grasscutter was pulled from the Orochi. The samurai, who never once spoke his

name, put his entire life into the art, infusing the blade with his very soul. It is said when the Samurai died, to atone

for blood sheed in the name of his art, another samurai tried to take the blade and was killed. The sword and the

body of it's master vanished into the Earth.

Thanks to the Mystic Manual, Ranma now stands in the Tomb of the Unnamed Samurai. Infront of him, in

a stance, is the reanimated corpse of the samurai weilding the legendary sword, Anruioshi- "the Year of Silent

Tears".

Ranma senses tells him he's not fighting the Samurai's Ghost, but the Spirit of the Sword he weilds. The

sword speaks using the zombie's decaying mouth.

"Only Rule of the Wind may weild the Year of Tears. Only the diciple of the art, may claim the symbol of the art.

Only the worthy shall sheed not."

The battle begins with Ranma on the defense. The sword and weilder move like a feather in the divine

winds. They move with power and fluidic grace. Ranma sees the flawless forms like old nuisance Kunou, but the

Samurai flows smoothly from one to the other and adapts to changes in style and tactics. Ranma realizes why the

Manual picked this sword, it's like a kenjutsu form of Musabetsu Kakutö Ryü, an ever adapting and growing style

designed to win at any cost.

Ranma jumps back with several cuts on his body including a deep cut on his chest Ranma is glad the

Manual contained an advance Ironskin technique. He could take a large caliber anti-ship/anti-aircraft shell to the

chest and not be scratched. If he had been as he was over 4 months ago, he would have been killed a thousand times

over by now.

As Ranma now fights to keep his life, his memory goes back to the sword/zombie's words Rule of the

'Wind may weild the Year of Tears'. The sword's name is "Year of Tears", could it mean the Samurai's name was,

"Great Swordsman, Rei Kazeno, I summon you!"

There is a faint blue light, then the ghost of the long dead samurai melds from the pedestal where his body

rested. The Samurai is strange looking for a Japanese man, he's tall, very muscular, and has long white-blond hair.

The ghost watches as his sword-possessed corpse fights a Shaman Warrior with a long braided hair. He speaks with

the same voice, but lacking in the bloodlust.

"Why do you awaken me, Warrior."

"I want you to be my ghost." says Ranma as he avoids another lethal combo, "I wish to perfect my art to protect

others. Together we can make your art grow beyond this tomb, grow from the shadows that hold it." Ranma is glad

his grandfather taught him to make deals, he feels like he could win a battle of wits against Nabiki, but a over 500

year old ghost?

The zombie swordsman is about to deliver another blow, this one fatal, when Ranma feels it, hyoi gattai.

The zombie/sword is surprised when the interloper spoke to his master's spirit and even more when they

overlapped each other. Then the man before him performs an attack that the master created, but never learned to

counter. A move the sword can't counter either.

The zombie falls to it's knees feeling damage throughout his body, it pauses then resheaves it's sword and

presents it to it's new weilder.

"May Anruioshijutsu grow with you."

As Ranma/Kazeno takes the sword, the zombie instantly crumbles into dust and ash, bones and armor

included. The entire tomb begins to shake and crumble.

Outside Ranma stands with his new partner holding the sword. They watch as a sinkhole forms as the tomb

implodes. An old dead tree nearby begins to fall, but in less time it takes for a tear to hit the ground, it's been sliced

to pieces.

Day 131 #524

Object 02 The Beads of Kamui

In the 14th century, a girl of great strength was born to the Ainu people. Even as a child she had the

strength of a Great Bear, some thought she was the daughter of there bear god. The girl, who was named Kamui

after Chup-Kamui, the Ainu Sun Goddess, wanted to become a great warrior. So when she reached the age, she left

the Ainu lands to find the great masters. She hid in a man's form and travelled to learn the secret arts or war.

Years of intense training and fighting a variety of warriors through Asia, created a mixed style. A powerful

fluidic martial arts style which would be reinvented by Grandmaster of Ranma's style for his own perverted ends,

centuries later. After many years, after many ruthless vengeful fighters and after many men who found out her true

gender and tried to "put her in her place", she began to incorporate more lethal moves. She began a metamorphosis,

changing from a kind-hearted martial artist who loved to learn to a ruthless fighter willing to win at any cost. Her

style changed from a fluidic mix of martial arts, to an ansatsuken, an assassin's art that wouldn't exist again for

centuries.

Finally, after the rape and murder of her niece by a ronin, she released the evil potential within her soul.

She became a living demon slaughtering the ronin and any fighter that dared to oppose her. Kamui became the

power of god's fury.

A shaman of the ainu came to stop her rampage, he had been Kamui's friend in her youth. The last part if

her humanity stopped her from killing the Shaman and turned her power on herself. The shaman buried her in a

bear's cave and upon the marker the shaman placed Kamui's Beads, a symbol of there friendship given by the

shaman to her on the day she left.

Currently, Ranma is flying threw a wall of the cave, this time not under his own power. On the other side of

the hole a humanoid shadow sorrounded by a menacing aura of shadows. It's eyes glow like golden fire and so do

the long beads around it's neck.

"An opponent after so long!"

Ranma gets into a stance and so does the Ghost of Kamui. The two then seem to blur and vanish, as a storm

of dust and thunder forms. The surging energies are strong enough that large rocks shatter, smaller rocks levitate and

explode, and the ground shakes. Hiding behind a tree, the Samurai Rei Kazeno wacthes his Master/Partner fight

against the demon-girl. He remembers the argument he had with Master Ranma

"Master Ranma, Please let me help you!"

"I can handle this, Rei."

"but Master, my great-grandmother was the daughter of the Ainu Shaman that sealed her. She's a demon that can

shatter mountains!"

"I know the Legend. I too can shatter mountains. I also walked the same path she did. If I hadn't found the book and

my spirit friends, I could have become like her."

"I... I understamd, Master Ranma. You see yourself in her and wish to help her."

"Yes, Rei, and for the last time, don't call me Master!"

The two figures reappear in the violent swirling dust. Ranma coughs up some blood. Unlike his battle with

the Anruioshi where he used his energy to lessen the damage, in this battle he's using his energy just to hold his

body together. If the blade was a large caliber handgun, then the demon girl would be a marine anti-aircraft cannon!

Ranma can feels cracks in nearly every bone, can feel hundreds of bruises throb, and feel his own blood slowly

leaking from hundreds of small cuts. Kamui, since it's a dark spirit, isn't damage except a small loss in it's immense

dark energy. It's aura flickers slightly, before it delivers a blow that sends Ranma flying threw three trees and imbeds

him in a rock face!

"I know you."

Kamui delivers another blow sending Ranma threw the exploding rock and into a field, digging a trench in

the dirt. Ranma coughs up more blood.

"I KNOW YOU, KAMUI!"

Kamui stops before Ranma staring at the young shaman and speaks in dark demonic voice.

"and What do you know of me, Shaman? What am I to you? A Nightmare? Am I Death?"

"you are my mirror. What was my destiny."

"How can you know me! HOW CAN YOU!", the ghost rages, it's aura raging.

"Become one with me and see the truth." says Ranma with a voice of honesty.

The ghost pauses. An opponent willing to trust him. In the recess of it's mind, in the part that was a human

girl, the memory of another shaman stirs. There is a long pause, then Kamui's form dissolves into etherial flame and

merges with Ranma. Ranma thrashes and his blue eyes turn black, as the corrupt force burns threw his body.

Deep within the kokoro- the heart/soul- Ranma and Kamui stand within a dojo. Kamui is no longer a black

mass with glowing eyes and beads, she now resembles a translucent greyscale version of what she was as a mortal.

She's a beautiful Ainu woman with long hair and golden eyes, and dressed a grey sleeve-less shirt, black pants, and

bare feet. The long beads around her neck glow a faint gold.

Ranma steps forward and images rapidly enter Kamui's mind. Images of Ranma's life.

Taken from his mother at age 5. Swamp and Wolves. Nekoken. No friends. Ucchan. Jusenkyö. Akane.

Kunou. Ryouga. Shampoo. Ukyou. Cologne. Happosai. Tarou. Herb. Rouge. Saffron. Wedding. Cleansing.

The Images cause Kamui to stagger and Ranma to scream as he's forced to relive his life on fast forward.

"How can you still be sane after all that pain and sorrow. Why didn't you go down my path. Why did we change

differently!"

Kamui shifts back and forth, from the Shadow Kamui to the Demon Kamui.

"Our goals were the same, to become the greatest martial artist ever. To perfect our art to help others."

"How did you remain true! TELL ME!"

"I found others to rely on. I found friends! Just as you have."

"I HAVE NO FRIENDS! ONLY OPPONENTS!" says Demon Kamui, as the air ripples with surging power.

"No! you made one when you trusted me and you had one before you died."

"YOU JUST WANT TO USE ME LIKE THE OTHERS! YOU WANT ME UNDER YOUR CONTROL! YOU

ARE MY ENEMY!"

The dojo seems warps and dissolves into a stygian black abyss. Demon Kamui rages after the falling

Ranma. Ranma's from fades in and out with each blow, like a video game sprite. Ranma feels the energy tear into his

very soul.

"You know that's not true!" yells Ranma in a pleading voice, "I know ALL of your pains! Let me help you!"

Demon Kamui shifts into a form between Demon and Shadow. She grabs hold of Ranma's shoulders and

speaks.

"How. can. you. help. me!"

Ranma begins to glow like an angel. The abyss ignites into a vortex of etherial white flames. Kamui cries in

a mixture of emotions. Love. Hate. Joy. Fear. Pleasure. Pain.

The darkness begins to stream off Kamui. Her soul feels the cleansing and the bonds holding her soul to

the darkness shatters. The rage, the fear, and the evil intent that made her a demon is pulled from her being. Ranma

pumps in his own energy as her purges her of the polluted, negative energy.

Kamui's form finally splits in a flash of light, revealing two pure Kamuis. One is Shadow Kamui now

possessing natural tan coloring, gold-brown eyes, blue-grey hair, and a yellow top. She wears a face full of joy, a

face not seen in centuries.

The other is Demon-Kamui now completely inhuman with a lupine face and pupil-less fire pit eyes. She

resembles an Oni with long spiky hair, black skin, claws, and big fangs.

Ranma and Kamui float in the glowing winds, while the Demon acts like it's fighting a hurricane. Ranma

and Kamui nod to each other and overlap each other Not that way you Hentais! and take the same stance in sync.

The Demon Kamui roars as it's body is melted away by the surging winds, there light tearing threw it's

black flesh.

In the real world, the comatose Ranma glows the white aura of the Cleansing technique. This time the

darkness erupts in streams of smoke-like energy. Finaly a humanoid form melds from Ranma and explodes into a

cloud of dark dust-like particles, that rapidly disperses and vanishes without a trace.

Ranma's white aura slowly dies down and Ranma's body falls back. Rei Kazeno comes over to see if Ma..

Ranma is O.K., he's surprised when a nechlace appears on the man's neck and the ghost of a beautiful Ainu women

melds from Ranma's body.

"MASTER RANMA!" says the rejuvinated Kamui.

Ranma opens an eye and says, " Call me Ranma, K-chan.", then he loses conciousness.

Day 138 #552

Object 03 Skin if the Wind

Lesson #550. Tapping into the Etherial Stream. Ranma is glad he can now tap into, for brief moments, the

cosmic stream of energy. He needs the boost fighting for the right of using the third spirit. This one is an animal

spirit that once belonged to a Chinese diety.

Feng Po-po. The Chinese goddess of the winds, literally "Madam Wind". She is represented as an old,

wrinkled woman, sitting on a tiger riding on a path made of clouds. On quiet days she placed the winds back in the

bag she carries over her shoulder.

There is a hidden story of the First Tiger of the Wind. From the Primal Chaos, a Spirit of elemental Wind

was born. A wild spirit that ravaged the land, then was contained by the ancients. The wind spirit was later reborn in

the body of pure white tiger, which was found by Feng Po-po roam the highest mountains. They became partners.

A group of powerful demons wanted the Tiger's powers, so they attacked the village where he was resting.

All the humans where killed, but the Tiger survived and slayed the demons. At that moment, he realized he posed a

threat on Earth and left the service of Feng Po-po. He sacrificed himself and hide his body with a message on his

tomb. Only the Worthy may weild the Wind.

With the book, Ranma found the grave marker, a stone tiger with a pearl on it's forehead. When Ranma

removed the stone covering the pearl he was magically pulled into the real tomb of Tiger of the Wind.

The Tiger Spirit stands before him. Like the Nemian Lion that Heracles fought, the Tiger had inpenetrable

skin, so only the empty skin with claws and fangs remains. The spirit has filled the skin with winds, like it's mistress

filled her bag. It stands tall, it's skin unaged and where there was eyes a blue-white mist glows. It's a monsterous

pure white tiger twice the size of a small truck!

"You wish to weild my power, mortal shaman. You must prove yourself!"

The Tiger emits a roar that shakes the tomb like a 9.8 quake and causes hurricane force winds to blow.

Ranma is surprised that it's not just the amount of winds, but the fact they contain pressurized air like ki blasts and

charged vacuum blades! Ranma smashes into a wall, his clothing shreeded into lint. The only things that remain are

the Anruioshi Katana, Kamui Beads, and mystic manual, which roll out of range. Ranma is covered in millions of

fine cuts and scratches.

Ranma stares, fear in his heart and thinking, "That blast could have turned a small army into red mist, metal

weapons included! He doesn't even look like tried."

Ranma charges his body and superspeeds forward to deliver a chi-charged blow. The Tiger jumps clear of

the blow, clamping down on Ranma's arm and flinging him into another wall. Ranma lands on his knees, his arm

mangled and dripping blood. Ranma is glad the book taught him how to ignore all physical pain, then he vomits up a

little blood. Before Ranma can act, he's hit by another wind blast smashing him into the misted blood is

spray painted on the wall.

Ranma picks his head up in time to see the Tiger's fangs pierce his torso and a white light.

"Near the moment of Death, a lifetime can pass in a second."

Ranma opens his eyes to find himself standing a huge white sand desert with the light coming from a pillar

of swirling spirits. Two women stand before him dressed like ancient Egyptian Queens. The first woman is a cross

between a beautiful light skinned Egyptian and a golden lioness. The cat-woman is dressed in gold and white linen,

and glows with a golden sun-like aura. The second woman is a cross between a dark-skinned Egyptian and a black

pantheress. The darker cat-woman is dressed in black linen and dark armor. She also has a crimson-color menacing

aura.

Ranma may have only been a Shaman for 4 ½ months, but even he knew who stood before him. Bastet,

Goddess of mothers, children, and pregnant women, and Sekhmet, Bloodthirsty and violent Goddess of war and

divine vengeance.

"The Neko-Ken. Cat-Fist. Mao-Fu. The Origins of the feline style of fighting dates back to ancient Egypt,

befpre the founding of Tell Basta. It was designed by the Cat Goddess Bastet and her co-wife Sekhmet. It was meant

for a race of cat-people, a way to channel there powerful animal spirits into a perfect fighting style."

"Yes, Ranma Asakura. We are they and this is about the Way of the Guardian Cat. To control divine cat spirits like

Tiger of the Wind and Byakko, you must know how to channel the immense power, to control the power of human

and cat united."

"As how long it will take. As the book said 'Near the moment of Death, a lifetime can pass in a second.'."

Possible SideS: "Way of the Guardian Cat"

The Tiger of the Wind is shocked when Ranma's form shifts from near death to 700. An aura explodes

around Ranma's bare form into the form of a giant cat.

"So the Kitten has become a Cat, but is it a Housecat or a Tiger?"

The two "cats" clash together, claws swiping and winds clashing. The raging winds and streams of energy

ravage the tomb. Fragments of the stone shoot into the air streams and are shreeded. The two lock together in the

center of the room. Ranma holds his hands against the skin's paws, while the ovelapping paws of his aura lock with

overlapping paws of the Spirit. The energy produced by the conflict compress the air enough around them to form a

crater in the floor. They both strain hard and the air between them glows brighter and brighter.

With a double roar, both fighters are blown back by an explosion.

Finally, both perform there final attacks. Both glow blinding white, there raw primal energies surging to

there limits, and flash forward like two two coliding fighter jets.

The Tomb was hidden deep within a remote mountain with the only entrance being the enchanted statue's

portal accessed threw the pearl. In a massive sonic boom that shakes like an earthquake the entire mountain shatters!

Car-size boulders and other rubble fall for miles around. As the dust cloud clears, Ranma's battered from lies next to

the empty skin. Ranma's flickering aura finally dies, but Ranma still has enough strength to say, "Did... I... win?"

There is a rumbling laugh as the Tiger Spirit appears and says, "You have.". The skin morphs into a

glowing white mist that wraps around Ranma's bare form. The mist then morphs into Ranma's new clothing on his

now healed body. Ranma now wears a white silk tang shirt and slippers, covered by white tiger-striped pants and a

tiger-striped sleeveless jacket. He also wears tiger bracers, the Beads of Kamui, and the Anruioshi Katana. Ranma

thinks, "Thanks" before falling unconcious, the stripes vanishing. The Mystic Manual appears on Ranma's chest like

smoke.

Day 148 #590

Object 04 Dragon Fang

There are many types of dragons, with many purposes. Millenia ago, a Great Dragon King fought an

invading army of water demons until the other gods came. This Dragon known for it's bravery and self-sacrifice

requested to be sealed in a special tomb until a warrior of legend needed him. The only memory of this dragon is it's

statue, a winged 5-clawed chinese lung lacking scales and made of polished blue-grey stone.

Finding the Tomb was similar to the Tiger as the entrance was hidden within a statue, but instead of a

hidden pearl, the warrior must chant words below it in a certain order as water drips from the statue's huge antlers.

When Ranma spoke, he was pulled into the first of 9 rooms he has to go threw to reach the dragon's resting place.

The First room was the "Room of Warriors". To test if the person who enters is a worthy warrior, they are

forced to fight life-like puppets the four greatest warriors of the Lung's Valley when he was still a scaled dragon,

and four greatest warriors of the person's past, who are not present. In Ranma's case it was a spear-weilding warrior,

a thin man in mage's robe, a hunter with an archer's bow, and warrior monk combined with puppets of Saffron,

Herb, Taro, and amalgram of Cologne and Happosai. Ranma managed to win within 5 minutes.

The Second was the "Room of Shadows". To test a person's perception, they are placed in a room with no

light, sound, or smell. The room is a maze with the walls made of winds which can freeze or cut those who touch

them. Theer only way is a faint trail of pin-size spiritual energy and a door at the center outlined in a hair-thin line of

energy.

The Third was the "Room of Elements". An extremely complex maze made with traps and walls made from

wood, metal, earth, water, and fire.

The Fourth was the "Room of Knowledge". The room of knowledge makes the Japanese high school and

university tests look pathetic. It's an extremely complex maze of hundreds of millions of puzzles and riddles. The

old Ranma would have been trapped forever, but the chi-mage/shaman Ranma makes it in 8 hours!

The Fifth was the "Room of Spirits". This was similar to the caves of death Ranma had faced before. A

stream of spirits travelled threw him forcing a heightened conciousness. He had to face the rage, fear, and sorrow of

a thousand dead. It was humbling.

The Sixth was the "Room of Fear". A psychological torture maze, which induces ever increasing levels of

phobia-level fears while introducing threats. A great hero has to do the right thing despite the fears. It is a test to see

if the warrior is a hero.

The Seventh was "Room of Bonds". A psychological torture maze, where you had to fight your personal

demons and shadows of past people. Ranma had to face the vision of Suppuka-Nodoka, Demon Panda Genma,

Fiancee Furies, Raging Demon Akane, and a hundred other persona including Priestess-Kasumi and Super-Kawaii

Bishoujo-Ranko!

The Eighth was the "Room of Self". A room were you had to fight a dragon-enhanced version of yourself.

This was the final test and hardest since Dragon Ranma possessed the chi wizardry and shaman ability. Brutal fists,

kicks, strikes, and counterstrikes, all with enough power to crush tanks. They fire Ki, Spirit, and Chi Magic blasts

with enough power to destroy entire mountains. Finally, Ranma, the real one, stops and says, "I will fight no more."

Dragon-Ranma calls him a coward and releases a massive energy attack, but it disperses like smoke and so

does Dragon-Ranma.

Ranma turns to see the Dragon Spirit. Most Dragons of his type are only over 30 feet long with a 12 foot

tall, but the Spirit is nearly 300 feet long with a 120 foot tail, claws bigger than most people, jaws that could eat a

whole bull, and a wingspan greater than a fighter jet! The blue dragon of storms releases a blast of etherial blue

flames at Ranma. Ranma doesn't fear as the the Beads of Kamui change to include a space for a single Dragon's

Fang.

There is a flash and Ranma finds himself outside with the statue/monument crumbling into specks of light

that float ito the sky and vansih.

"What a trip!"

Day 158 #630

Object 05 Poison Angel

Samael, the Poison Angel. One of the three great princes of Gehenna, the storehouse in the north of the

world that holds all reserves of fire, frost, snow, hailstones, storm, darkness, and violent winds. It is the dwelling

place of harmful demons and destructive spirits, has three gates opening onto the Earth. He is the arch-foe of the

highest angel, Metatron, and is called Prince of the Accusers and the Evil Inclination (as opposed to Gabriel, the

Good Inclination). This red haired bishounen has six feathery wings and the ability to judge art and attract women.

Ranma remembers the Book's notes on the Fallen and Demons. There know for theer shady dealing and

manipulative nature. Ranma then thinks, this is going to be worse than a Law Firm full of Nabikis.

Ranma touches the black cross in the Old Mission. Ranma suddenly hears a voice in his voice, a bishounen

voice he has heard from Princes and powerful bishounen fighters.

"Greetings Ranma Saotome, Master of Musabetsu Kakutö Saotome Ryü, Prodigy of Nyuchezuu Wushu,

Chi Journeyman, and Shaman-in-training. I am Samael, as you have guested. You have come to make me your

spirit, a angel as a spirit is not unheard of, but it is rare. Chossing a fallen is nearly unheard off, but I accept.'

'Let's make this quick and as simple as your Mystic Manual would put it.'

'My Oversoul object is a halo-lile silver ring with 7 points, it's also the key to my current prison. The ring

has been broken into seven pieces and each piece is sealed within seven demons. Demons which are going to be

released by a dark chi wizard starting in Juuban. A group of heroines which includes an Old Friend will try to stop

them, but they rely solely magic and order, so they will fail.'

'What is the catch? Why would a Fallen help? I win either way. If you refuse you'll be guilty of not trying

and many will die. If you try and fail, I get to be the one who sent a legendary hero to his death. If you succeed, but

fail in your challenge against me, I'll be free to ravage the world. If you succeed in both, Chi Wizard are known to

attract many, many women." )

Ranma sweatdrops.

ARC 2:SENSHI AND SHAMANS

Chapter03

Heading for the Asakura Home

Day 172#686Around Reincarnation 50/51

Ranma flys slowly towards Grandfather Yohmei's place, the ancestral home of Assakura. He's still dressed in the Tiger's outfit with the Dragon Fang and Kamui beads around his neck. On his back rests the Anruioshi Katana. Rei Kazeno's spirit form resembles a floating head with a tiny sword and long white hair. Kamui appears as a tiny ultra-cute girl resembling the Koro-Pokkur of her people's lands. Tiger now looks like an SD kitten. The Dragon resembles a glowing blue snake with faint mist-like wings. Samael is Samael only the isze of a 9 inch doll with only one set of feathery wings. Shiroko, Mizuko, and Kooriko float nearby in there natural forms.

"Why are we going here again" says the annoyed Samael

"I want to visit ojiisan first" says Ranma, "I want him to know I'm alright."

"Don't trust that Tamao girl?"

"She good at Kokkuri board" referring to the Japanese ouiji board, "but her Spirits are unreliable."

Suddenly, they hear voices.

"THEN TO PROTECT MASTER YOH, I HAVE TO KILL YOU!" says Tamao

"STOP, TAMAO!"

"LADY ANNA...!"

"AND AMIDAMARU...!"

"ENOUGH OF THE ANTICS! YOU DIRTY LITTLE CREEPS!"

Ranma and his group arrive to find a young girl with a bandanna, black dress, and Itako prayer beads. The girl, Lady Anna, is berating a fox and raccoon spirit. A midget and a biker with a weird hairdo li nearby.

"What the Heck? His killer belly shriveled up" exclaimed the midgit Manta, "What are theyso scared of...?"

Anna now holds the two idiot spirits roughly.

"Okay, you two..." she says in a deceptively calm, "Don't you think you owe them an apology?"

"Apology?" repeats the stunned Manta.

"I-I dunno ehat she's talkin about. Do you Ponchi" say the nervous, lying fox Conchi.

"Um Um" studders Ponchi.

SQUISH goes Ponchi as Anna applys pressure

"YEE-OWW! S-Sorry! I'll talk, I'll Talk, I'll Talk...!"

"Conchi?"

"Yes, Ma'am! I'll explain everything!" salutes the conartist in animal fur.

Ranma and Shiroko turn to each other and speak as one, "Those Idiots are in trouble again."

Tamao turns at the laugh and sees a pesron she hasn't seen in nearly 2 months, "Master Ranma!"

"Master Ranma?" repeats Manta.

"Yoh's Cousin." answers Anna.

"YOH'S COUSIN!" yells Manta

"Stop repeating or I will leave you there."

"heheh.. Yes, Ma'am!"

After a few minutes, it's revealed that Conchi and Ponchi had lied to get Tamao fight Yoh's friends. They were apparently bored and wanted a little action. Ranma uses a little chi magic to heal the minor injuries inflicted and introduces hismelf and his numberous spirits. Then, Anna asks Yamao to find wher Yoh's coming out of the Hwang Chun.

"You wanr me...to divine it?" says a stunned Tamao

"GET TO IT, YOU FURRY FREAKS! LOCATE YOH!" yells the terrrifying Anna.

"YES, MA'AM!" yells the terrified animal spirits.

"W-Wait a Minute!" crys out Manta, "I''m lost here! What happening to Yoh right now!"

"I shall explain Lord Manta"replys the ghost samurai Amidamaru, spooking Manta from behind.

A few minutes later.

"YOH HAS BEEN IN A CAVE FOR SEVEN DAYS AND NIGHT WITHOUT FOOD!" yells tyhe once more panicked Manta, "TO INCREASE HIS FUROYOKU!"

Amidamaru nods

"But" says a worried Manta, "Why would Yoh risk his life like that...!"

"Because he is determined to be Shaman King." says Amidamaru

A few feet away, Wooden Sword Ryu is talking to Ranma and his ghosts.

"So you had four girls after you?" asks the former street punk, "and maybe more?"

"Yup."

"Master Ranma attracts everything female, be it human or spirit." replys a giggling Shiroko, which causes Ranma to blush.

"I wish I had even a fraction of your talent, Man" says a starry eyed Ryu.

"No, you don't" Ranma waving his hands, "The women I attract are dangerous, possessive, and powerful. Imagine attracted four insane versions of Anna."

Ryu sweatdrops.

"Hey! How do you know so much about Yoh and Anna, if you've never et before?" asks the confused kendoist.

"Grandmother Kino trained Anna as a Itako. They have kept in contact and she monitors her laidback grndson."

"What about you? Don't trhey worry about you?"

"My Mystic Manual is the ultimate teacher, it won't let me slack off, and Ranma Saotome never loses!"

"So are you going to compete in the Shaman King Tournament?"

"No. I'm going to be buzy in Juuban, but I have faith in my cousin. Yoh may be laidback, but if he's my cousin he must have great potential."

"ALL WE CAN DO..." yells Anna, "...IS HAVE FAITH IN YOH AND WAIT!"

A moment later.

"That's why..." states Anna, "We're going to divine his Faith."

"At least we can relieve.." she continues, "...some of the uncertainty while we wait."

"Anna..." says an amazed Manta.

"She has Lord Yoh's vest interests at heart. You must understand, Lord Manta."

"Yeah." replys Manta, "I'm sure Anna is tempted to go rescue Yoh too."

"I agree." says Rei Kageno taking on his full samurai form net to Amidamaru, "She must see the potential within Yoh and wants him to acheive it. The strongest fires produces the strongest steel."

"and the strongest passions are hidden behind coldest shells." adds Sammael with a lecherous smirk, "I think first child, first year of marriage."

WHAM!

Who knew you could use furoyoku-enhanced prayer beads as a whip.

"C'MON, YOU GUYS!" yells/orders Anna, "WE'LL DO THE DIVINING AT THE EXIT TO THE CAVE!"

A few minutes later, the group finds themselves at a huge lighthouse over looking a beautiful scene

"Huh...?" says a confused verticvsl challenged, "What this place?" then notices a wooden sign, "The Izumo Hinomisaki Lighthouse...!"

"The Western most point of the Shimane Peninsula, this Hinomisaki Lighthouse is the tallest in East Asia." explains Anna, "Access is Easy. There are 14 Ichibata-Dentetsu buses a day. Get off at Izumo Shrine Stop."

"I wasn't asking direction..." interrupts Manta.

"and beneath the Lighthouse..." Anna continues, "... between these cliffs thatjuy into the Sea of Japan..." she pauses, "...is a secret entrance only known to the Asakuras."

Arriving at the menacing cliffs Manta states, "I see. Nobody would want to go in there."

"Tell that to my old man." says Ranma, floating nearby. Manta nearly jumps out of his skin.

A few minutes later, Tamao sits at the entrance with her Kokkuri board, the group srands a few meters away.

"So the fox kitsune and the raccoon dog tanuki went in to look for the chief, and they'll report via rge Kokkuri board, which automatically displays there message... " says Wooden Sword Ryu, "Now that's cool."

Manta growls nearby. "What's taking them so long! " he explodes. "It's been three hours!What are they doing?"

"We shouldm't have left it to them!" Manta continues to rant, "I hope they didn't get lost in there!"

"That is possble." states Amidamaru.

"WHAT!"

"If thuis cavern is a testing ground for the soul, it would present difficulties for all spirits." explains Amidamaru, "It will not be easy to find Lord Yoh in such darkness."

"Don't worry so much." says Ranma, waking up from his nap, "Yoh will be fine. You need to stay calm."

"You are truelly Yoh's cousin." states Ryu, "Even in the face of darkness, you stand firm."

"I used to get worried about alot of things, while only showing a calm exterior." explains Ranma, "My training got rid of alot of my stress."

"You found your Inner Yoh?" asks Manta with a little grin.

A few minutes pass, then Ranma feels a pulse of energy and Tamao slaps her board.

"HE 'S COMING!" crys out an excited Tamao, "PONCHI AND KONCHI HAVE FOUND HIM! MASTER YOH IS COMING...!"

She stuns most of them with the last yell, "HE' CLOSE TO THE EXIT!"

Amidamaru "At the exit...!"

Manta "He's already..."

Anna "Yoh..."

Ryu "What?"

"...!"

The cavern begisn to howl as someone prepares to leave it's darkness.

"Lord Yoh is almost here...! So he was safe..!" exclaims Amidamaru

"but what kind of shape will he be in...!" says Ryu.

"He's coming!" says Tamao, "Closer...Just another 30 feet!"

"Twenty-Five!"

"Twenty Feet!" she continues "Ten!"

"Six!"

The soun of sandals is heard.

TA-DA!

"Yo." says Yoh, calm and laidback as always, "Long time no see, Guys."

"...!"Everyone is shocked at his appearance and attitude, the fact neither has changed!

"huh?"

"HE'S SO LAID BACK!" yells Manta loud enoigh to be geard in Kansai.

"How can Yoh act like nothing's happening!: yells Anna

"Oh these guys told me you were waiting for me." says Yoh indicating wasted Konchi and Pochi, "The's why I wans't surprised."

"DON'T PLAY DUMB!" yells Anna at her fiancee, "Why aren't you half-dead!"

"You were in there a long time..." begins Manta

"Yet you seem even less stressed than before?" finishs Amidamaru.

"What's everybody so excited about?" says a confused Yoh, "Sure, it was dark inthere, and a lot of thingfs went through my mind about what I've done so far, about the future, the more I thought about it the harder it got. So I quit thinking altogether somewhere in the middle."

"I could only grope and fumble around at first, buy I knew I had to keep working my way threw" says Yoh grinning and narly laughing, "I figured everything would work out eventually."

The group is speechless as Yoh flops over and exclaims "but right now, I'm straving! I need some food."

"Heh" smiles Manta, "That's classic Yoh!"

"Classic Ranma, too" says Shiroko

"Well, your alive, anyway." says Anna regaining her cool, "I guess we'll call it a job well done."

"Heh heh" grins Yoh, "Thanks for worrying about me, everybody!"

Yoh then remembers something and pulls a small trinket from a souveneir shop.

"I found this on the way out."

"Thanks." says Ranma grabbing it, "I lost this a few months ago."

"YOU'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE!" yells Manta

"Didn't I tell you?" says Ranma, hand rubbing the back of his head, "I guess I forgot."

Everybody except Yoh, Ranma, Water Spirites, and Shiroko sweatdrop!

Asakura HomeNext Day

Day 173#690Around Reincarnation 52

The group has returned to the immense Asakura home. After eating, talking, and a nights sleep, the group continues to talk until Grandfather Yohmei returned. The test was given with Amidamaru and Yoh armed with Harusame- Amidamaru's famed sword- facing an immense army of his grandfather's leaf shikigami.

"We'll have at it." says Grandfather Yohmei, "Unless your afraid."

A tense moment, then Yoh's manic laugh.

"It's weird." says Yoh, "I was so scared of them when I was little..."

"...but for some reason, they don't scare me at all now." says Yoh grabbing Amidamaru in his spirit ball form, "I actually think I can take them."

The others, except Ranma, watch wide eyed.

"I see." says Yohmei, eyes narrowed, "Then here's mu Asakura-styl Yin-Yang Magic...THE HUNDRED SHIKIGAMI"

In a burst of furyoku flame, the numbert of Sjikigami reach a hundred strong "CAN YOU TAKE THEM ALL ON?"

As the hundred little monster streak towards Yoh like heat-seeking missiles, Yoh doesn't seem to move.

"YOH!" crys out the terrified Manta, "NOOOO!"

There is a blinding flash, an explosion of power. In a single attack, Yoh's enhanced Oversoul has cut every single one in half!

"The leaves have all been cut in two" says a stunned Manta

"Not a bad Oversoul" says Yohmei, "I suspected it, but THIS..." indicating Amidanaru's new larger form, which burns with spirit flames, "Your journey to the Netherworld has produced better results than I Imagined...!"

Then, Yohmei turns to Ranma whose leaning against a wall.

"Yoh's improvement is beyond my hopes" he says, "Now, I wish to see how my other grandson fars."

Ranma nods then walks to the center of the training feild. An aura of Furyoku forms like the corona of a burnig star.

"LETS DO IT! INTERGRATE OVERSOULS!"

The Spirits of Rei, Kamui, Tiger, and Dragon erupt into glowing spheres of light, then fly into there oversoul objects.

The Tiger Outfit glows white gaining more stripes and developing claws and Tiger eyes on the chest. The Kamui beads glw brightly before multiplying and wrapping around and meld with the Tiger outfit like bindings. Kamui's face hangs off Ranma's ponytail which rests on his shoulder. Rei's Oversoul from resembles Amidamaru's new form, except golden in color. The Dragon is last Oversoul to form, creating bone-like armor for the upper torso, shins, and forearms. The eyes of the Oversouls glow brightly and Ranma 's entire body seems to pulsate energy, like a heart of Furyoku.

"This is only 4 of my spirits together, I still need to find Sammael's Oversoul object." says Ranma, "It's also hard to control this much energy. Even human spirit Rei has enough power to level a skyscraper."

"While Yoh seeks to be Shaman King, you must protect the world and it's people." says Yohmei gathering his remaining Furyoku, "I haven't tested this attack, so I didn't use it against Yoh. THE THOUSAND SHIKIGAMI!"

Ten times the number of leaf familars that attacked Yoh appear and in another split second flash, only ash remains and a shower of tiny sparks remain. Manta also notices leaves falling from trees have also been incinerated. Even Yoh is shocked!

"What?" says Manta, "He didn't just cut the leaves, the air friction incinerated them!"

Ranma smirks, then gives Yoh a grin. "Were going to kick butt!"

Yoh then laughs with his cousin.

Same time, Juuban

Daolon Wong has been having many problems these past couple of years. The dreaded dark chi wizard's troubles began when he and his Dark Chi Warriors Gun, Chui, and Ren tried to kill the Chosen One only to be defeated by his old ribal's apprentice and his family, a archeologist named Jackie Chan and troublesome niece named Jade. It turned out the Chosen One was a fake and that all his frustrations were for nothing!

The second problem was the three megaliths of the 3 wise monkeys! He had to use Uncle's good chi wizardy to use the dark chi trapped within. The dark power enabled him to take one of three abilities - sight, hearing, and speech- from towns full of victims. Again the Chans defeated him leaving him deaf, blind, and mute.

The third was seeking the Shendu Talismans first when they were being transported to the Ben-Shui Temple. Then from the secret government base Section 13. That fiasco resulted in the Talisman being destroyed and there powers sealed in the Zodiac animals they represent. It also resulted in the lose of his dark chi warriors and three idiot humans replacing them. After numberous failures, even boosted by demonic Shadowkwan and a fourth Dark Chi Warrior Zhen, he was betrayed by the resurrected Shendu and defeated by white chi wizard Uncle.

After being incarcerated, he tried to once more summon the shadow ninja Shadowkhan, but Tarakudo King of the Shadowkhan, Lord of all Oni, denied him! He even took his former idiot minions and left him to rot!

The last failure was the Deja Vu Stone- a mystical stone which could transported a person threw time and space to any point in there life. He broke out of jail abd hoped to change the past so he gained all the talismans and didn't lose his powers. Instead he ended up in the Dark Hand prison for many months

Daolon Wong has researched for a power capable of destroying the Chans andmake him unstoppable. In an ancient scroll, he found a ancient legend.

Thousands of years ago, the heavens were ruled by a high priestess of the moon and the eight priestesses of nine celestrial bodies. The priestesses each were bound to the spirit of there star and each ruled a element. Ice, Fire, Lightning, Love, Water, Sky, Sound of Time, and Silence of Space. A High Priestess/Emperess who united them all. She cast spells to keep his kingdom pure of darkness, but in the end the darkness consumed the empire. A kingdom of darkness ruled by Earthern Queen and a Mother of Monsters laid waste to heavenly queendom with life-eating golems. The High Priestess used the great crystal to seal away the demons and cause her daughter and priestesses to be reborn in another time. To fight the darkness and rebuild there kingdom of heavens on Earth.

Normally, Daolon Wong would have dismissed the legend, but his connections in Asia- other dark chi wizards, crime organizations, and evil spirits- told him of the activity in threw ward of Juuban. Eight female warriors each possessing elemental powers lead by a ninth who weilds a purifying crystal. There first enemies were dark chi warriors with armies of life-draining golems called Youma. They have also fought corruptors armed with similar golems. Soul-stealing demons. Dream-stealing wraiths. Even, evil elemental warriors.

Same time, Hikawa Jinja

Uncle, Jackie Chan, Jade, and Tohru are talking to the priest of the shrine.

"It good to see you again, my old friend." says Mr. Hino, "Who are you companions?"

"This is my newfew Jackie, he's an archeologist who helps find artifacts for museums and my antique shop. His neice, Jade, who is visting us from Hong Kong, Finally, Tohru, who is my apprentice."

"So you finally found someone to teach Master Phong's magic too."

Thump!

The group turns to see a bunch of young women in a heap next to a now broken paper door.

"I guess I should introduce you to our easedroppers" grins Mr. Hino.

"This is my granddaughter Rei." Indicates the woman with long black hair and miko- shinto priestess- robes.

"Her friends, Ami Mizuno." indicating the cute girl with short blue hair.

"Usagi Tsunkino" indicating the blonde with the reidiculous hair style.

"Makoto Kino" indicating the tall girl with long brown hair tied in a ponytail.

"...and Minako Aino" indicating the other long haired blonde with her hair tied by a red bow.

"Girls, this is an old friend of mine. You can call him Uncle, everyone does. His family and apprentice are here in Japan to pick up several artifacts."

"What magic...?" asks Usagi, before Rei elbows her.

"Chi Magic." replys Jade with a smile.

"Chi Magic." asks Ami.

Day 180 #708

Ranma spent several days with his gracdfather, cousin, and friends. Then, most had to leave for Yoh's Shaman Fight with chinese shaman Ren Tao. Strange thing is, if Ranma' mother hadn't run away, she would have been Ren's aunt! It's going to be the tough battle, because even with Yoh's power and Amidamaru, he's still slightly weaker than Tao and his warlord Bason. Grandfather Yohmei had a meeting and Ranma decided it was time to leave.

He's glade he'll get to see his oldest friend, Rei. It's been over a decade since he last saw her.

Suddenly, he feels a surge of dark energy. This energy isn't just rage and dark emotions, it is the dark energy of nature warping. The warping of nature only occurs with demons!

Ranma uses his ability to fly and lesson 665, the ability to Hide in Wind, to reach the site of battle undetected.

The scene is extremely strange. There are several girls in colorful fukus on one side weilding elemental powers. One is dressed in a rainbow and has white wings. Ranma notes that her chi is unnaturally pure and positive. The next is dressed in blue and weilds ice as a weapon, she hangs back analysing the situation. The third is in red and weilds fire. Ranma can sense the spiritual power of a Miko and the girl looks familar. The fourth in green weilds lightning and according to his senses has a strong connection with plants. The fifth is dressed in orange and gold, and weilds extremely positive chi attacks.

Ranma turns and notes others in slightly different style fukus on a nearby roof. A tomboy in gold-edged dark blue with a strong sky and earth connection. A lady in blue-green with a strong sky and water connetion. A woman with long green hair and a dark fuku weilding a giant key! Ranma can sense a weird mix of sound and time manipulation. The last is young girl in dark purple with a wicked polearm. She has a abnormally weak chi and a connection with a very negative entropic force.

There opponents are the demons he sensed. Five demons each representing elements themselves.

The first is a huge sumo-size toad with dark motted red skin and gold eyes. It's dressed in a black robe and huge black pants. The toad forms balls of fire in it's webbed hands and tosses them like bombs. He also shoots out it tongue, piercing objects and leaving an acid trail.

The second is a monsterous humanoid lizard with thick sand-yellow scales, sharp fangs and claws, and a long thick tail. It uses it's immense brute strength and a metal-shreeding sand blast from it's mouth. It's golden eyes glow faintly.

The third is an immense black centipede monster. It has the immense long body of a centipede with a semi-humanoid torso on top and six arms. It's entire body is covered in black chiton-like armor. It sprays water and ice from it's spine at extremely high pressure.

The fourth is scorpion monster. It has the lower body of a scorpion and the upper body of a man with scorpion arms Think Scorpion King from the Mummy Returns. It's entire body is silver metal and it attacks with blade-like claws and corrosive sprays from it's stinger.

The fifth has the lower body of an immense snake and the upper body of a six armed human. It's entire body is covered in forest green scale and has a head of snakes instead of hair. This creature is the apparent leader protecting itself with powerful barriers.

"MARS FLAME SNIPER!"

Sailor Mar's arrow of flame is absorbed by the toad's huge ultra-gross tongue.

"VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!"

The senshi of love's attack is shattered by the Lzard's sand blast.

"JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!"

Jupiter's balled lightning is attracted and absorbed by the Snake's barriers.

"MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY!"

Centipede counters with it's own ice sprays. If it's insect-like face was capable it would be laughing.

"STARLIGHT HONEYMOON THERAPY KISS!"

The Scorpion actually jumps away from Eternal Sailor Moon's white magic attack.

Sailor Mars notices there fear of Sailor Moon power, so she changes tactics pulling out an ofuda ward.

"Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, zen. Akuryou taisan!" she yells throwing the ward at the Toad.

As soon as the ward sticks to the Toad, it freezes and crys in pain. It's body turns a burning red-black and it's clothing ignites. The scorpion fires a blade of air, eatring the ward and returning the Toad to normal. It's burns heal, but it's clothing is still tattered.

"Miko Bh!" yells the Toad in a gutteral voice, "Nobody hurts Demon Toad Hikimaru."

"It can talk!" yells Moon

"Yes, I am the Great Demon Toad Hikamaru. Toad of the Black Fire." boosts the Toad, "Fear...!"

"Shut up, you moron!" yells the Snake, "Tokage! Skor! Taus! Attack the Miko and the Winged One!"

"Yes, Master Dokujamaru!" yells the Lizard, Scorpion, and Centipede, respectively.

"No! I'll prove Myself!" yells Hikamaru, "FIREBOMB STORMER!"

Hundreds of Baseball size red spheres shoot out of it's enormous mouth. Each sphere whern it hit explodes into an napalm-like explosion, creating a swirling lake of fire. Before the attack can reach the senshi there is a cry of DEEP SUBMERGE! A sphere of water-based magic smashs threw the firestorm, putting nearly all of it out!

The overgrown Toad can barely say "Wha!" before there are crys of "WORLD SHAKING" and "dead scream". Two more spheres of raging mana smash into the Toad from both sides. There is a massive explosion and when the smoke and dust clears, the Toad stands badly injured. It's mssing one arm, it's clothing is shreeded, and it's covered in bledding cuts and burns.

"Invited by a new age, I'm the magnificent Sailor Uranus."

"Invited by a new age, I'm the elegant Sailor Neptune."

"I am the Guardian of Time. I am the Protector of the Future, I am Sailor Pluto."

"I am the messenger from the depths of death. Carrier of the protection of the planet of ruin, Saturn. The soldier of silence. Sailor Saturn."

Ranma sweatdrops at the speechs, if only he knew there previous speechs.

"RAUGGH!" roars the toad, in bursts of glowing crimson liquid the severed arm regenerates, and the cuts and burns heal. The red fluids drip to the ground, hissing proving it's not only hotter than lead, but extremely corrosive. The Toad's veins pulse threw it's skin and it's eyes are now crazed. Foam and steam pour out it's huge mouth. Suddenly, it draws a huge breath and the Toad's balloons to bigger than a quadruple beach ball!

"SILENCE WALL!" crys Saturn, a split second before beserk demon releases a monsterous fire bomb. A ball of crimson fire and darkness, 2 meters wide!

There is a thunderous explosion, that shatters windows for blocks and sends two casrs flying. Several trees ignite and several telephone and electrical poles are shattered in splinters. As the mushroom cloud clears, Saturn is revealed collapsed against the still unharmed Senshi.

The Toad now crazed beyond humanly possible, charges the down senshi.

"Anruioshijutsu Kenjutsu: Ten no Mai" Way of Year of Silent Tears Way of the Sword: Dance of Heaven.

There is a flash of light and Ranma appears infront of Senshi between them and the Toad. Suddenly, the Toad crys in pain, glowing crimson spraying, then falls to pieces! Both the Senshi and the Demon watch in shock as the Toad bursts into flames. It burns as if made of dry kindling, oil, and wax. A small palm-size sphere of red-white light rises from what was the torso before flying into Dokujamaru's open palm.

The Inner Senshi, except Moon, are blushing and starry eyed at the tall shaman/chi warrior mage.

Tokage roars and attacks with his claws. Ranma puts away the Anruioshi Katana and grips the Kamui beads around. The demon reptile strikes hard enough to cause shockwaves, but Ranma easily counters each and every strike. The reptile's tail shoots forward in a move similar to an certain insane kendoist's multstrike. Tokage gets angrier and angrier, that even it's prized tail fails to kill the meddling human! Tokage fires it's SAND BUSTER, but with a strange strike to the ground, the sand is sent flying into the sky and dispersed.

Tokage glows a golden aura, then releases it's Shinning Diamond Blast, sending a shower of sharp diamond shards like missiles at Ranma. Ranma spins and delivers angled ki-boosted strikes. When the flash clears, Ranma stands in a shower of sparkling dust and diamond chips. He looks very bishounen in the sparkles and light.

The old Ranma would fight at a minimal level and wait for even better attacks. The new Ranma goes for the kill.

" : Baimashi Arashi" Doubling Storm. "2 strikes. 4 strikes. 8 strikes. 16 strikes. 32 strikes. 64 strikes. 128. 256. 512! 1024!"

Tokage's body freezes in place from the ultra-fast powerful strikes. Then, as the Demon Lizard of the Desert tries to move, it's body contorts and warps. Finally, it bursts into a shower of golden blood and gory parts. The mess doesn't last long as the part turn to sugary golden sand and the blood turns to powdery dust. A golden sphere joins the red in Dokujamaru's palm.

Skor and Taus look at each other and nod. They apparently know about team work.

Skor jumps to the far left and raises it's four huge arms and opens the pinchers wide. "FOUR WIND ANNIHILATION!" it yells as four streams of swirling winds erupt fom the claws. Hurricane forces winds composed of vacuum blades, which cut everything in there path to shreeds.

Taus jumps to the far right and raises it's six arms, palms extended out. "SIX WAYS FROZEN TEMPEST!" it yells with an insect's buzz as six streams of swirling black clouds, water, and ice erupt. A massive ice storm explodes forward, freezing and shattering everything in it's path.

The two attacks combine into a wall of destruction.

As the wall strikes, the senshi can only watch in terror. Finally, the storm clears revealing an immense crater. The frozen wind blades have cut threw street, threw the sewar and utility, deep into the soil and bedrock. Nearby buildings have been sheered off and the air is still filled with falling ice crystals.

Dokujamaru looks up and sees something the others didn't notice. Ranma floats in midair, now clutching the Dragon tooth of his nechlace.

Ranma appears between the two demons, much to there shock. "Hiryü Shöten Ha Revised"

"FOUR WIND ANNIHILATION!" "SIX WAYS FROZEN TEMPEST!"

"Hyöga Tao-Kiri" Iced Tao Cutter

The Senshi and Dokujamaru watch in amazement as the two demonic attacks combine not into a storm that crushes Ranma, but a huge black and white tornado around Ranma! The Tornado then explodes outward, sending the two demons flying. Ranma stands unharmed inside the blast crater.

Skor crashes onto a mailbox crushing it, jets of white gases spray from tears in the silver metal. Hissing out of his body like gas from crazed propane tank.

Taus crashes onto a sidewalk, water and black fluids running from it's body freezing the sidewalk like liquid nitrogen.

Ranma is beginniong to look tired, control his Furyoku and the two Youki demon energies drained him more than he counted.

"MARS FLAME SNIPER!"

"JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!"

Mar's flame attack and Jupiter's lightning smash into Skor igniting the gas jets. There is a massive explosion as the Silver Scorpion is blown to pieces! A white orb rises from the scorched concrete to Dokujamaru's palm. The metal fragment shatter like glass into metal dust.

Taus realizes his situation and use it's sepentine body to leap and twist clear of "VENUS LOVE & BEAUTY SHOCK!", "MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY!", and "STARLIGHT HONEYMOON THERAPY KISS!". Taus manages to avoid "WORLD SHAKING!", "DEEP SUBMERGE!", and "dead scream" only losing a few arms on it's centipede half and one hand.. It finally crashes and finds himself infront of grinning Ranma, whose in a Tiger stance.

"Ah ST!"

Ranma charges forwards and tears threw the centipede demon like a chain saw. Taus upper torso, now with only two arms, crashs several meters away. The fragments of black chitinous flesh land all over the place, collapsing into pools of ice water and black dust.

"M...Ma.. Master Dokuja...maru. Save... me." the creature crys as water sprays from it's mandables.

"You dare!" says Dokujmaru, seething, "This is the price for failure! THUNDER CUTTER!"

Lightning erupt from Dokujamaru's other hand. He swings the lightning like a whip, cutting the dying Taus in half. The lightning's extreme heat reacts with the water and extreme cold inside, causing the halves to explode violently! From the liquid remains a black sphere rises and joins the other three in Dokujamaru's possession.

"Another time Senshi. You and your Chi Wizard won't stop our Masters!"

Dokujamaru's entire form glows green before vanishing in a storm of lightning bolts.

Everyone relaxs then the Senshi turn to Ranma.

"Hi!" says Ranma, "I'm Ranma Saotome, Sorry about this." Then he collapses right into Sailor Mar's arms.

A/N: It was the Tao Kiri that drained Ranma. It was an untested move using Dragon's oversoul powers.

In another demension between the shadows.

Dokujamaru appears in a dark throne room. On the wall are many symbols. Red Phoenix over Fire. Green Dragon over Forest. Gold Skull over Monutain. Black Turtle over Water. White Tiger over Sword. Eight silver snakes around a black cross. Six pairs of golden feathery wings- 12 in total- around a black halo.

"YOU HAVE DONE WELL, DOKUJAMARU!" comes eight demonic voices speaking as one.

"The knowledge on the Senshi will serve you well, Masters"

"NOW, YOU WILL STAND AGAINST THE CHI WIZARD!"

"Yes, Legion."

A pillar of light shoots down from the ceiling and consumes Dokujamaru. The Snake demon rises into the air, his body in a cross formatiob and glowing an intense green-white. The cores taken from his fellow demons glowing brighty like stars before flying into Dokujamaru's chest. Red, White, Black, and Gold miz with Dokujamaru's green energies, finally melding into a reddish-purple.

Flesh warps and mutates, bones melt and shift, and within seconds, the new Dokujamaru stands tall. A tall humanoid creature with light purple-gray skin, three black pupiless eyes, and long black hair. He has a very human upper body with a "vest" of black chitin-like armor, and the lower torso of an immense serpentine covered in heavy scales and sharp spines. He also has a huge mutated right arm with heavy metal spines. Oval gems in the immense arm glow an menacing red-purple.

"ARISE, DOKUJAMARU PRIME!"
