Last time, while taking care of a demonic hound called Sammael, the sarcastic ones start to make "blah-blah" motions with their hands, as the information kept coming. Akane's voice came by and says, "Hound of Resurrection." Ranma stops, the other took a moment to stop too before the information completely sunk in

Ranma nervously says, "See? We don't like that." Ryoga asks, "What? Hound of Resurrection?" Genma and Soun turn to see the corpse once more and notice it's gone! Mousse read the information Cologne is sending them through his computer visor, "Son of Nergal, lord of darkness—"Ranma shouts, "Cut to the end, will ya? How do I kill it?" Mousse looks for it and says, "Hmm, doesn't say." Genma & Soun both say, "Aw, crap!"

Ranma looked at the reanimated corpse of Sammael, in the direction where his father and Mr. Tendo were looking at, "Didn't my old man kill you already? Holy Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire!" Swiftly punching with his right hook, Ranma is beating the stuffing out of Sammael and leaving burnt imprints upon its slimy skin! But unfortunately, before exiting through a window, it extended an extra-long grey tongue at the wrists of the ones who shot at it (Mr. Tendo & Saotome).

Before being pulled, the male warriors said in unison, "Oh crap!" Both pulled through by Sammael's tongue, Soun & Genma struggle to break free, finally Sammael lets go, but unfortunately both warriors fall to the hard tar road!

Genma growls, because he had cold water from a rain gutter dumped onto him and he & his best friend has to face a demon who can get up from being "knocked down"! The fat panda pulls out a sign reading "Aw, crap!" Soun gets up saying, "I agree." Soun takes out a small hose and spray a small shot of hot water on his friend, turning him back into a human.

An unnatural masculine voice from somewhere nears them quietly called to them, "Gentlemen." They both looked at the end of the alley that leads to the public streets and found a bearded man that appears to be in his early 30s. He's bald and a little overweight. He's dressed in a black overcoat and emerald cargo pants.

Soun sneered, "I suppose you're one of those who brought forth the Desolate One." The bald bearded man smiled and nodded. Genma questioned, "Who the hell are you?" The stranger answered, "I'm Nitupsar." Soun smirked, "So your name is going to be an enigma to us, eh?"

Nitupsar looked at Genma and calmly said, "I know about your son, Genma Saotome." Genma gasped, "You know Ranma? How?" Nitupsar said, "Ever wondered why he had a little difficulty trying to get used to this world? The little reckless dark horse with the lovely rice-planting girl?" Genma said, "He has no time for fiancés, he's trying to save the world and we're helping him!"

Nitupsar asked Genma, "Would you like to know his true name?" Genma arrogantly answered, "I already know what to call him. I call him 'son'." Soun followed with aiming his Samaritan at Nitupsar, "So name this!"

But before he could fire, Nitupsar vanished into thin air and without a trace just like that! Soun used his left Glove of Feeling to see where he went. "Damn! He's now miles away from here, Saotome! But Sammael is nearby, let's move it!"

Genma pumped up the hydraulics in his heavy titanium-and-diamond fist, to power up his next punch, and readied his Samaritan gun. There came Sammael lashing its thick long tongue at Saotome, before he could even fire! Ryoga fired his own Samaritan gun at Sammael's tongue, breaking its bond on Genma! And another few shots, knocking the demon hound out. But how long would it last?

Everybody hid behind a dumpster, Ryoga handed Mr. Tendo a speed loader full of green-colored Samaritan bullets. Soun asks, "Tracking bullets?" Ryoga explains, "With these babies' scent and microscopic radio transmitters, we can track Sammael until he's down for the count, for good."

Then Ranma noticed something on his father's left arm, "What the hell is that, Pops?" Genma took a gander at his arm and found a stinking slimy black-and-pink tentacle that's still wiggling attached to his arm! Genma & Soun said in unison, "Oh crap!"

They saw gray organic blades poking through the dumpster and narrowly missing the heroes; Sammael resurrected himself again! Ryu shouted, "What are you waiting for, Mr. Tendo? Crack the pin!" Soun removed the pin on Ryoga's Samaritan tracking bullet speed loader and shook it until all six of them illuminated like 6 little light bulbs.

Ryoga took the loader and loaded it into his gun, "This will be easer, and if he discovers a way to wash it off, we'll have a spare, as well as some firepower to add to it!" Ranma jumped and tugged onto Sammael's behind, throwing him against the nearest alley wall!

Sammael got his spine severely twisted, but to Ranma's surprise, he untwisted it and rubbed it off like it was nothing. Ranma frowned, "Isn't that guy supposed to be the Hound of the Resurrection, not the Hound of the Healing and Regeneration?" Mousse pointed his left arm sleeve at the hound and replied to Ranma, "Bad one, Ranma."

Sammael leaped out of Mousse's range and onto the top of the alleyway wall, Ryoga whispered, "Perfect!" then fired his first tracking bullet! The small sot knocked Sammael down to the other side of the wall, leaving a large blotch of glowing green "sweat" on his belly! Knowing Sammael isn't down yet, Ryoga followed his the combined stench of Sammael and the smell of the green tracking fluid with his nose! The others followed him; one good thing is that he's not getting lost now.

Soun noticed what's going on now, but still continued on their mission, "Hinako, we're heading towards civilians!" Passing through them, Nodoka said to some food storage workers, "Crazy costumes, huh? Well, trick or treat!"

Sammael leaped over the street, leaving wide spaces between the tracking fluid spots, Ryoga rushed through the cars, but got hit by one of them! As he looked at the road, painfully, he finally lost the direction Sammael went!

Anther car came towards him! Ranma came to his rescue, saying, "Red diamond fist!" The glove on Ranma's right hand glowed red! As the glow stopped, Ranma's entire right forearm and hand turned to a red crystalline form with religious symbols and mystic marks engraved into it! He holds it up to a moving car, but it won't stop!

Enraged, Ranma shouts to all moving cars, "RED MEANS STOP!" before punching the car moving towards Ryoga into the air! Ryoga regains his composure and his senses and looks at Ranma, "Thanks, Ranma." Ranma helped Ryoga up, "Don't mention it." Mousse landed near them and said to them, "Chunk-face is still waiting for us!" Together in unison, Ranma & Ryoga shout, "AW, CRAP!"

They followed the last of Ryoga's tracking bullet fluid to a big puddle of it, in front of an opened sewage drainage hole. Ryoga touched it and said, "Sammy took a leak." Still, the team continued to pursue the dangerous monster. Big Brown (you know him as Pantyhose Taro) notices where they are, "Subways? Why would an ancient and evil dark entity go in the underground train tunnels?" Ryoga suggested, while readying another tracking bullet, "Possibly because that down here, there's a lot more live prey down here."

They all heard a familiar growl. Mousse looks up and spots Sammael on the ceiling of the railway tunnel, "Waiting for us, chunk-face?" Ryoga saw the demon hound and blasts another glowing green bullet at him perfectly, forcing the unholy creature to the floor!

The sound of a horn was heard, they realized that it's an oncoming subway train! In unison, they all say, "OH, CRAP!"

Sammael ran straight for the train, leaving a new trail of some of Ryoga's tracking fluid. Ryoga stupidly goes after him; Ranma goes after his no-sense-of-direction former rival to save him from more harm! Genma punches through a wall (without releasing the super-powered hydraulic punch) so they would be safe from the train.

The demon hound unfolded his organic axe on his left forelimb and rips the front of the subway door down, scaring the driver and the passengers within! Ryoga leaps into the door, pushing the creature and sending it flying the train and going through the other end. Ranma, still holding onto Ryoga with the red diamond fist, says "Sammael is not on this track anymore, no dogs allowed."

The scared driver takes a fire extinguisher off the wall and beats Ryoga in the head with it! After being beaten a fifth time, Ryoga shouts to the driver, "HEY! We're on your side!" The train driver scoffs, "Huh! Sure!" and hits Ryoga again! Ryoga gets knocked into the air, pulling Ranma with him! They both hit a cold water pipe, turning Ranma into a girl (sorry, no P-Chan anymore)! Ranma-Chan fell on top of Ryoga, who's beginning to feel two soft pillow-like things pressing onto his chest!

Ryoga shouts, "Ranma, the train!" Ranma-Chan looks and shouts, "Oh, damn it! Red diamond body!" Ranma-Chan's entire living body turns to red diamond, before the hard pieces beneath the train even struck her! Each knock of iron is met with a bump of red diamond, and bump of living red diamond is met with a press from Ryoga!

As the train passed by, Ryoga & Ranma-Chan weren't hurt! Ryoga says, "You can get off me now, Ranma." Ranma took off her overcoat to see anything's damaged, luckily nothing was, not even Ryoga's bones. She changed back into human mode. Genma, Soun, Tatewaki, Mousse, Nodoka, Taro, & Ryu arrive, Kuno says, "It's a good thing that we each have these locaters. Otherwise we would've lost each other."

When Kuno saw Ranma-Chan, "Pigtailed girl!" Ranma-Chan kicks him in the face, "NOT NOW, YOU DUMMY!" Soun uses his nose, "Is it just me, or does it smell like Sammy's nearby, as well as another of Ryoga's tracking bullet fluid?"

Nodoka pulls out a small booklet and reads it under a specific section, "'A good warrior of justice always uses all of his or her senses. It pays to see what's in front of him or her.'" Every one of them looked in front of them, just each other. Nodoka continues, "'As well as both sides.'" Everyone did so, nothing but the subway walls. "'And behind him/her.'" They did so, still nothing. "But those are just the basics, the best way is to use this directional sensing is directing them anywhere, even up or down." They all looked at the ground, nothing. As they slowly looked up, they found Sammael!

Ranma-Chan sighed as she poured hot water on herself, Genma looked at his arm to remove the stinger leftover from Sammael's tongue, Soun looked carefully at the stringer, Tatewaki readied his boken, Ryoga looked in Nodoka's book, Mousse slapped his forehead, Nodoka double-checked her booklet, Taro looked at the trail, & Ryu looked in Nodoka's booklet along with her. Together they looked at Sammael, who is clinging to the ceiling and glaring at them hungrily, and said in unison, "Aw, crap!"

Sammael leaps onto Ranma (now male again), Ranma wrestles with the huge hound from Hell. He grabs onto Sammael's upper and lower jaws, shouting, "Open wide!" Then with his strength, he breaks Sammael's lower jaw, which is now dangling! Ryoga jump kicks Sammael in the butt, sending it flying past Ranma's other teammates.

Genma guesses, "Maybe he's after you all along, boy." Ranma asks, "For what reason, Pop?"

Sammael gets up from the ground and turns around, facing Ranma and relocating his jaw perfectly! Frustrated by his top-of-the-line recuperative powers, Ranma shouts, "Son of a—"

Before Ranma could finish, the Desolate One pounces the poor pigtailed martial artist onto his back! Ranma felt the drool droop from Sam's mouth and into his! "YUCK!" shouts Ranma, "Screw this!" Ranma turns to living iron and grabs onto a middle railway line, electrifying both Sammael and himself! As soon as Sammael is burnt down to a crisp and Metal-Ranma is covered in flaming organic charcoal black dust, Ranma got up, turned back to normal, and said, "I can become fireproof, you cannot."

A message from Cologne was heard via radio, "I found something; Sammael, the Hellhound, was originally sealed into salt gathered from the tears of a thousand angels, restraining his essence. St. Dionysus the Areopagite led him into large crucible of molten iron. So, high heat may be our answer to defeat him."

Genma's left arm ached from pain. Shampoo asked the martial artist that can change into a panda via radio, "How long did monster touch you?" Since Mousse and a few of them are showing them via television, Soun estimated for his wounded friend, "Best to my memory, about 5 seconds." Mousse scanned the wound with his goggles, "You've been burned by Sammael's organic acid and cut by that stinger on his tongue."

Ranma joked, "I wonder if that was a blob of his antibodies or gastric juice." Then he noticed a green fireball rising from Sammael's burnt-up corpse and splitting into two! Ranma began to worry, "I hope that's not how he resurrects himself!"

Three golden orbs roll out of Genma's wound, Mousse's computers blared with a klaxon! The grin he got from Ranma's earlier joke turned upside-down, "It touched Mr. Saotome for 5 seconds and has laid 3 eggs!" Soun got confused, "He was a she?" Ranma joked, "Didn't even buy you a drink!"

Mousse told his comrades as much information as he could tell them; "According to my biology analyzers, the stinger detaches itself from the tongue and dispatches the eggs! They are very sensitive to heat and light, they need a dark and humid atmosphere to breed."

Dr. Tofu called to them via radio, "I've checked out a blade while you guys were at the library through psychometry, there was a third person involved, and he said something about for every one of Sammael that falls, two shall arise."

Ranma panicked, he looked at the twin green fireballs over the ashes of the original Sammael... they are both gone! "SCRAMBLE THOSE EGGS!" It was too late; the eggs hatched and produced three identical Sammael babies.

Nodoka said, "Born without a parent. How sad." Taro said, "I claim the one on the right." Ryu said, "I saw it first." Ryoga began to panic, "I don't think that would be a problem, the only problem is now that we have 3 of Sammy's puppies angry at us, wanting revenge!"

Because he is right, the hellhound young suddenly each became identical to their deceased parent! Mousse joked, "Jeez, kids do grow up fast these days." Ranma said to the team, "We have to split up, our chances are better if they don't continue multiplying!"

One Sammael charged for Ranma, another headed for the nearest underground subway station (opposite from Ranma's end of the tunnel), and the last headed for the sewers (squeezing into a small pipe)! As Ranma ran away, having his Sammael after him, "This is even worse than having a tiger chasing me!" Ryoga shouts to the team, "We'll deal with the one going for the subway station!" Mousse says to them, "The sewers are the perfect place for them to breed in!"

While running down the tunnel, Ranma shouts to Akane via radio, "Akane, get the rest of the team down for the action, Sammael multiplies!" Akane answers back, "We're on it!"

It took about 5 minutes, but the teams arrived!

Ranma's team (Team Thunder) slowly came to his aid; it is Akane, Genma, Soun, Kasumi, Dr. Tofu, Hinako, & Nodoka. They were chasing only the Sammael, who is chasing Ranma!

Ryoga's team (Team Hunter) to assist him consisted of Akari, Ukyo, Konatsu, Tatewaki, Nabiki, Sasuke, & Mariko. They're all after the one heading for station.

Mousse's team (Team Talent) to assist him consisted of Shampoo, Cologne, Happosai, Kodachi, Principal Kuno, Taro, & Ryu. This team is going for the sewers underneath the subway.

Ranma asks while running, "Thunder, Hunter, & Talent? Who came up with those? Pops?" Nodoka, Kasumi, & Tofu patched up Genma's wound and readied to pounce their Sammael! Genma was first, but both he and the newborn fell down a hole from out of nowhere! Ranma & the others worry about him and follow him down the hole!

Genma and Sammael fall through a vent, followed by everybody else on Team Thunder! Genma shouts at the new Sammael, "YOU GODDAMNED MONSTER!" and unleashes the super-hydraulic-powered right hook punch onto the creature!

In the subway station, Ryoga, Konatsu, Tatewaki, & their Sammael broke through the wall and right into the floor! After about 5 seconds, the three humans are each knocked painfully next to a pay phone.

The phone nearby Ryoga rings, Ryoga thinks of using it for a weapon against his team's Sammael, and rips it off, "IT'S FOR YOU!" Ryoga hits Sammael with the phone! Konatsu pummels Sammael with a ninja quarterstaff, "Hurts, doesn't it? You shouldn't hurt PEOPLE!" Sammael grabs onto Ryoga's torn-off pay phone and snaps Konatsu's quarterstaff like a twig, before tossing them like tennis balls!

Back with Team Thunder, they all crashed onto Team Sword's Sammael! Nabiki came by and said, "About time you eight showed up." Kasumi holds up a small bone-like charm from her left earring, "Oh my, I believe Kuno forgot this." Nabiki asked, "A pinkie?" Kasumi answers, "It's straight from the Vatican, and cloned from St. Dionysus the Areopagite."

Nodoka thought out loud, "Which would explain why Sammael avoided else but Ranma & Genma."

The Sammael they fell on got up again and knocked them all off! Now Thunder & Sword have to deal with two Sammael hounds!

A young girl's voice was heard crying, "My kittens! Somebody please, help them!" Ranma looked on the ground and found an open wooden create with tiny defenseless kittens and their mother. Instantly Ranma panicked, then suddenly, his Cat Fist got activated within the instant, "Meow!"

He opened his eyes, but now they're 100 percent like a cat's! He picked up the box and glared at both Sammael creatures, "Meow!" Suddenly his ears morphed until he's got cat ears! Cold water fell in drops on his head from above and he turned into his big-breasted, red-haired female self, only more cat-like (eyes, ears, tail, & claws)!

Akane points at Neko-Ranma-Chan, "Look at his eyes!" Nabiki awed, "Look at her claws!" Kasumi cooed, "Look at Ranma's ears!" Nodoka followed Kasumi, "Look at my baby's tail!"

As both Sammael launched their tongues at Neko-Ranma-Chan! But her right hand (the one with the Holy Glove) morphed her entire forearm and hand into a big red-and-blue stone hand with religious and mystical symbols and claws!

She caught both tongues and said in a sexy female voice, "Second date, no tongue, big boys!" Single-handedly, she wrapped her stone hand with their tongues and swung them both around in a circular movement with superhuman centrifugal force, sending them both crashing into an underground window, which leads to another subway tunnel!

Both Sammael tug onto their tongues, trying to take Neko-Ranma-Chan with them!

Akane, Nabiki, Kasumi, Ukyo, Hinako, Nodoka, Ryoga, & Tatewaki all came to help Neko-Ranma-Chan! The little girl who owns the kittens worries, "My kittens, please be careful with them!" Ukyo struggles to pull and says, "Oh, give us a break, sugar!"

Tatewaki realizes something, and pulls out a golden metal ball! He asks Ryoga, "Did that duck man say something about heat and light affecting these hellhounds?" Ryoga glares and pulls, "Yes!"

Tatewaki cracks a pin on the small ball, tosses it into the window where both Sammael were waiting for Neko-Ranma-Chan, and shouts "EVERYBODY COVER YOUR EYES!"

Everybody in the subway complies with Tatewaki Kuno's (the Blue Thunder) words, before a bright flash of yellow light filled the entire place!

Meanwhile, in the sewers... before their Sammael could go for a swim, Team Talent's team inventor, Kodachi, notices the sunlight-like explosion coming up and shouts, "Cover your eyes NOW!" As everyone did, Mousse looked at what happened through his protective computer battle goggles, the Sammael they were pursuing suddenly got vaporized!

Up in the skies, above the district of Nerima, the entire city got illuminated with a lot of powerful light and warmth for about 10 seconds!

Back in the sewers, Shampoo began dancing in the super heated water in pain! Mousse shouted, "I hate to say it, but that Sammael is vaporized by just strong light!" Cologne said, "He always preferred hiding in dark wet areas, where he can survive during daylight. But Ms. Kuno's invention was a good save for my part."

Back in the subway, the Thunder & Sword Teams check on their Sammael, both of which are completely vaporized.

Kuno said to his comrades, "Both of them are dead."Akane speaks into her communicator to Kodachi, "I'd hate to say it Kodachi, but you're a genius." Kodachi answers back via radio, "Why thank you." Sasuke mutters, "A genius with access to unstable chemicals."

A young man from nearby Nabiki said to her, "Oh thank you! You saved us!" He kisses her on the cheek and asks, "How can I repay you?" Usually Nabiki would ask for money, but now she has some other things on mind; so she leans in and whispers something in his ear. A little startled, the young man says to her, "But you can't do that, you are a ranking officer." Realizing he's mistaken her occupation by judging her battle getup, Nabiki corrects him, "Well actually, I'm not. I'm just an accountant." The young man grins, "Mmm-hmm."

Neko-Ranma-Chan (Cat Fist is still active) stretches her stone hand without dropping the box of kittens. CRICK! Her stone hand is back in place as it changed back to a normal hand! The little girl, who owns the kittens, came up to the mutated pigtailed hydro-sexual martial artist and thanks her, "Thank you, madam." Neko-Ranma-Chan scratches behind the ears of the kittens gently and smiles, "Just doing my job, young lady."

Akane playfully scratches behind Ranma's cat ears, which she likes a lot!

To be continued...

What will happen next? Who is this Nitupsar? Why was Sammael after Ranma? Find out next time!
