Ranma Meets the Avatrons

By Peter A. Sehavilin


In a clearing in a nearby forest just outside
Tokyo.


It was a quiet night and only a light breeze was
blowing. Suddenly with a
flash of light a portal open up visibly and two
forms stepped through it. A
teenage girl and man. After they both had stepped
through, the portal
vanished from sight with another bright flash.
Both stood only about 5 Feet
in high but the girl was a little shorter than the
man. They both had long
hair and athletic builds, though the girl Had more
even features to her. The
man was dressed in jeans and a denim jacket, while
the girl wore a light
flowing red dress made of a light material that
seemed to flow with the
breeze

The girl blinked as she looked around at the
unfamiliar surroundings, turning
to look at the man beside her she asked, "Daddy
can we go see Ranma now?"

The man carefully scanned the surroundings before
being seemingly satisfied
that there was no immediate threat to either of
them. "Later, there's a few
things we need to take care of first," he
answered.

"Daddy." the girl pleaded, tugging the man's hand
but at same time staying
close to him, a bit afraid of the new, unfamiliar
surroundings, "Ranma's sad
and lonely, I can feel it."

"You can make him happy once we meet up with him.
We just first need to find
a place to stay right now and make an agreement
for your schooling. Then we
can see him." The man told the girl.

The girl pouted for a while, not liking the
seemingly necessary extra time
that would pass before she could see Ranma again.
"I guess it's good that
way..." the girl replied.

As they began to walk towards the city lights, the
girl asked, "Dad? Could I
get into same school as Ranma?"

"We'll will see if you can. But I have to look
into it first, you will most
likely have a tutor just like back at home." The
man said, smiling at his
daughter as they walked to their destination.


A few days later. In a private investigators
office.


The old man sitting behind his old wooden desk
raised his eyes briefly from
his work to look at his visitor. The man put his
papers carefully aside,
leaving some free room on the desk papers, before
running a gnarled hand
through his dusty gray hair as he opened the
drawer of the desk and pulled
out a manilla folder and grilled through it.

"Here's the information you wanted. With what
information you gave us, Mr
Starliner - and with what we were so far able to
gather, I would say that you
have a very good case."

"Thank you for getting the work done in so short
time as I asked." Said Mr
Starliner his face remaining an emotionless mask.

"We still need to gather more information but it
looks like Genma Saotome
left a large trail of petty crimes and skipped
debts behind him. Actually it
would be in his best interest to honor the
contract, the funds you provided
it would pay off all of the debt, with plenty left
over to boot."

"But if he does break it, you should have more
than enough evidence you need
to gain custody. Though being a gaijin might bring
out a few problems." Said
the PI.

"I don't see where that should prove to be a
problem at all?" asked Mr
Starliner, giving the PI a puzzled look.

"Well, you got to admit the courts would be a
little suspicious why a extra
terrestrial would want to have a custody of a
minor," the PI tolled.

"True," the man replied. "But it is for personal
reasons, and if it does go
to the courts I would then be willing to release
more information than I am
willing to relate at this time." said Mr Starliner
to the PI.

"Actually, I doubt that will be a problem. I fully
agree with your reasons
for wanting to be discrete, your daughter is very
special." Explained the PI.
"It is in her best interests if the facts of what
your daughter is would be
known by as few as possible." Said the PI.

"Oh? And how did you learn about this?" Said Mr.
Starliner, looking at the PI
questioningly.

"Let's say, a few people who would also like that
your and your daughter's
stay to be as pleasant as possible. They would be
interested in talking with
you later." said the PI.

"That would be fine. I would be interested in
talking to them." Mr. Starliner
said with a thin smile.


The next day.


The local mailman walked up to the Tendo Dojo,
dropping today's mail into the
mailbox before leaving quickly. He did not want to
be near when Genma Saotome
read his mail, things had bad tendency to get
violent whenever that person
got mail and he didn't want to be nearby when that
happened.

A little while later Kasumi stepped outside to
retrieve the day's mail. "Oh
my," she let out as she noticed that Genma had got
a letter. As Kasumi walked
back into the house, she was wondering what
trouble Genma had got himself or
Ranma into this time.

"I hope it not another fiancee." Kasumi said to
herself as she walked inside,
but already knowing that what it most likely to be
what the letter was about.

Kasumi found both Genma and Soun playing their
favorite pastime, Go, both
doing their best to cheat during their turn - or
even when it wasn't their
turn. "Uncle Saotome you got a letter." She said
with her usual smile,
handing the letter to him.

Genma looked the letter over before quickly
opening it and beginning to read.
As he read the letter his face turned pale and
drops of sweat could be seen
pouring down his forehead. After seemingly having
read the letter he quickly
crumbled it and threw it into the trash can. Soun
seeing his friends uneasy
look, frowned at Genma. "Saotome, this is not
another fiancee, is it?" he
asked his friend, looking slightly troubled as he
wondered just what Genma
got himself into this time.

Genma squirmed, trying to think of something to
say, "Oh, nothing! No no no!
I didn't engage Ranma to any alien girl!" Genma
babbled quickly.

"What! You engaged my son-in-law to an alien
girl?" thundered Soun, scooping
up the letter from the trash and looking it over
himself.

An "Oh My" was heard from Kasumi as she covered
her mouth with her hand in
shock. "This is even stranger than the last one."
She said to no one in
particularly.


A while later in Nerima High School


It had all started two weeks ago, when a PI had
been visiting at school,
asking questions about Saotome family. A little
bit later she had learned
that the PI had been part of a bigger, very
expensive Investigation company
which probably meant that he had been experienced
as well.

Then on same day, someone had just appeared out of
the blue and bought one of
the most expensive properties. Nabiki had
considered this strange enough to
be worth investigating. All she was able to gather
had been that a man had
bought it. A single man and his daughter coming
form out of the blue and
having bought one of the most expensive properties
in the neighborhood.

All this had felt a bit mysterious, seemingly the
girl got a home tutoring
too, which cost money, something that the man
seemed to have more than enough
of. But where did he get it all? And who was he?

For the next few days she had tried to follow both
the man and the girl
shadows to find out something about their habits,
to no avail. She had even
tried doing that herself once or twice, without
any more success. Simply, the
girl did not go out much and all the people who
she sent out to follow the
girl came back with no memory of her. She herself
had no memory of it either
after trying to follow her.

This was strange considering she was sure she
would have found out something
herself one of the two times in the 2 weeks she
was following her. only thing
she had found out was that someone in a black suit
was always seen in the
area when the girl did go out.

That had been the case with the girl, the man had
been a bit different. He
had seemed to know when someone was following him,
almost like he had eyes in
the back of his head. The man also seemed to know
how to shake a tail almost
like he was trained in it. Which sounded odd, he
wasn't a secret agent, was
he?

So far, all she had found out was that the girl
was supposedly the man's
daughter, which again sounded impossible as the
man seemed to be around 25 or
so, and the girl seemed to be around Ranma's age.
Which probably meant that
they were brother and sister, and just pretending
for some reason. which was
still odd, why pretend? what did they have to
hide? Still, the fact that she
had overheard the girl calling the man "Daddy"
more than once was not
supporting her logic. The puzzle just had too many
incompatible pieces and
even more were missing.

After that she had tried to have the place bugged.
Using the contractor that
fixed the place up and brought furniture into the
place. The first attempt
turned out to nothing. The equipment was probably
broken, or found out about.

What worried Nabiki was when she heard that some
local security firms van was
seen just outside of the house. And that the local
police seemed to be
interested in the incident as well.

Then, two days ago, she had called out quite few
favors and got some of the
most expensive listening equipment available to
the open market and tried to
find out what was being spoken in the house. The
language she had heard had
been weird, nothing she had heard before. Having
used more favors she had got
a language expert to look at the taped speech. All
the expert could got out
had been that it didn't sound like any language he
knew.

Under an hour later when Nabiki had installed the
listening equipment, a
black van was seen outside the home. The people
that got out of it wore
simple black suits as well. They stayed in the
house for a few hours before
leaving again. No attempt to hear what went on
inside the place worked after
that and Nabiki had to give up trying.


"I am going to find out about him and his so
called daughter. The money this
person must have is a beneficial resource that
simply can't let be passed
up." Nabiki mumbled to herself and most of all her
curiosity had been
sparked.

Nabiki was a bit surprised to see a courier from a
local company walk into
the school grounds. After the courier had talked
with a random student who
pointed Nabiki out, he walked over to her. "Miss
Nabiki Tendo?" he asked.
Nabiki nodded her reply.

"I have a package that was sent to you, the person
asked us to deliver it to
you at this time and while you were still at
school." the courier told Nabiki
as he proceeded to hand her a Clipboard. "All I
need you to do is sign here."
he said to her.

After signing her name, Nabiki looked at the
delivered package. It was a
manilla envelope, from Mr. Noha Starliner. What
shocked her was the return
address, it come from the person that had bought
the house. Nabiki opened the
envelope a little fearfully of what was inside,
she was a bit worried that
the man might have decided to take legal action
against her.

What she found inside was even a bigger surprise,
Nabiki would have never
guessed what it actually contained. As she browsed
through the papers a large
sweatdrop formed on the back of her head as she
read the contents. 'Genma is
in trouble now,' she thought to herself.

'This might mean trouble, big trouble. This guy
has enough to ruin the
Saotome name and maybe even the Tendos as well if
father and the Saotomes
fight against this.' Nabiki thought as she read
the papers, 'what the? Genma
even signed that Nodoka was deceased and he had
sole custody of Ranma! And
this contract had been made on the Saotome clan's
Honor and name!'

This was defintely a very smart move from the
person that came up with the
contact, a work of pure genius! Still even though
Genma was a greedy bastard,
and not all that bright. She failed to see why
Genma would have signed this.
Moment later her eyes almost popped out of her
head when she saw what the
dowry was for, 2 million Avatron credits.

Nabiki was not quite sure what 2 million Avatron
credits were worth but it
was bound to be alot. 'Probably, Deutschmark in
the late 20's were so weak
that 2 million might buy you a candy bar.' Nabiki
thought. Then her heart
almost stopped when another paper answered her
question, 10 Million in US
dollars was a lot indeed, 'No wonder Mr. Saotome
signed it.' Nabiki thought,
guessing that Genma hadn't even stopped to read
what he was signing.

She was so stuck on reading that she didn't notice
when Akane and Ranma
walked up to her after the classes were over.

"What's going on, Nabiki?" Akane asked her sister
as she saw the shocked
look on Nabiki's face.

Nabiki looked at Akane, thinking for a second
before tensing and saying,
"Well, it looks like Genma arranged for a Lorena
Starliner to marry Ranma.
And it seems that Genma ran off with the dowry
again." Nabiki told the pair.

"WHAT-- not another one!" both yelled out.

"What did the old man do this time?" Ranma asked,
almost bored. He was doubly
angry to find out the past was about to bite him
on the ass again.

"This is all your fault!" yelled Akane to Ranma,
her anger flaring.

"How can this be my fault, I knew nothing of
this." snapped Ranma in reply.

"Well, if you weren't so much of a pervert and a
jerk this wouldn't have
happened!" Akane angrily told Ranma.

"I am not a pervert, you tomboy. I haven't even
seen her since I was five!"
Ranma bitterly answered to Akane, He was startled
when he realized that he
actually did remember it.

"You were with her last evening, you two timing
pervert!" Akane yelled at
Ranma. Her battle aura flaring.

"I didn't see nobody. I went out to the roof, to
think and get a way from a
certain violent maniac!" Ranma sarcastically
replied, feeling a little
confused at the vague feeling of weariness that
came over him, as if he was
feeling someone else's aura. Usually it just felt
like he was not alone, that
there was someone close to him but for the last
week they seemed to have
gotten stronger. It felt like there was someone
out there that really did
care about him and what he felt.

"That's it, the engagement's off. There's no way
I'm going to marry a
two-timing sex changing freak like you
." Akane
yelled, Her mallet appeared
in her hand as her aura flared into existence.

"Fine with me, I never agreed to marry a an uncut
violent chick like you..."

'Just one more crack and I put that freak in his
place,' thought Akane. She
was the best martial artist in Nerima and if Ranma
hurled even one more
insult she would teach him again why she was the
best. Then she would teach
him just what a real martial artist could do, not
like the tricks Ranma
usually used.

"Why don't you just go marry this new bimbo, you
freak!" she screamed,
gloating at Ranma so she could give him what he
deserved. What she got was a
shock, it was something she would not have
expected Ranma to say.

"I just might just do that, At least she'd not
some uncute violent maniac
like you." replied Ranma, a little surprised that
he had said that. What even
was a bigger surprise was that he had meant what
he said. If the girl was who
the feelings were coming from, he really wouldn't
mind marrying her. It was
clear now; She would always accept him for what he
was and wanted to see him
happy. She would let him be what he wants to be.

Akane's temper exploded at that reply and she
attacked Ranma with her mallet,
almost injuring Ranma severely with it. Akane
didn't really care, she thought
that Ranma deserved it for being a pervert. Like
she even wanted to marry the
freak, but he was hers and she'd never let any
other girl to have him.

'Apparently some slut of a girl must think she can
have him, and when I'll
meet that girl I'm going to show her place! I'll
show that girl what a true
martial artist could do.' Akane thought, walking
off and leaving Ranma
writhing on the ground.

Nabiki was shocked as well, having witnessing
another beating of Ranma from
her sister. 'P'd never expected this, the mystery
is getting deeper and
stranger fast. And Ranma, for him to actually say
that he would not mind
getting married to the girl was very strange
indeed.' Nabiki thought as she
watched Ranma twitch, mumbling about uncute
Kagones was even stranger. What
the hell was a Kagone anyhow?


At the Saotome residence


Nodoka was not having a good day. Her latest
attempts at getting Ranma and
Akane together had failed and all the talks she
had with Ranma seem to have
been a waste of time. Still, she could not fault
Ranma for the disaster that
had followed, Ranma had tried to follow her advise
and try to be nice to
Akane and refrain from insulting her. All he had
got for it was Akane
accusing him of being up to something perverted
even Ranma's attempts to
avoid arguing with Akane had failed as she had
just malleted him for annoying
her.

She had started to get concerned about Akane's
behavior after that, it seemed
that after the Saffron incident and the failed
marriage attempt Akane's anger
and violent temper had been getting worse. Most of
Akane's anger seemed to be
towards Ranma as Akane used her mallet at any
proposed insult or act real or
imaginary.

She even remembered one of Akane outburst a little
after the wedding attempt.
She had came over to the Tendos to have some time
out with her son. She and
Ranma had left for a walk, mentioning to Kasumi
that she had wanted to be
alone with her son. It was just a time to get away
for a while and talk with
Ranma alone. During that time while they were
walking, she had noticed that
her son had become depressed with the way his life
had been going. She had
and still did want Ranma to be manly and a Man
amongst Men but was it really
worth it to see Ranma, a young man looking and
appearing so worn out like he
had been?

After they had got back to the Tendo home, Akane
had confronted Ranma
accusing him of seeing one of his other fiancees.
Ranma's adamant denial had
just got the Tendo girl more angry, not giving
Ranma any time to explain she
had attacked him with her mallet calling him a
lying perverted freak. After
Akane had beaten Ranma, she had told her that
Ranma was being a insensitive
jerk, showing no remorse of what she had just
done. All she had said had been
"the freak deserved it" before going back to her
room, slamming the door
close behind her.

That had been quite unlike the nice girl she had
met when Ranma was
pretending to be Ranko. Though the Tendo girl seem
to actually treat Ranma
better while he was in his cursed form than while
he was in his birth form.
Akane always said that she hated the freak for the
fact that Ranma was just
using the curse to be a pervert and her comment
that Ranma was just a pervert
like all the other boys.

What had confused her even more had been the
fondness Akane seemed to have
for this Hibiki boy, Akane usually claimed that it
was Ranma who was always
being mean to the boy and enjoyed to start fights
with him, usually by throw
insults at him and calling him names. Though when
she had asked about this
form some other people they had told that it was
usually the Hibiki boy who
attacked Ranma. She had even started to suspected
that it was Akane who was
the one being unfaithful with this Hibiki boy. To
her, it was Clear that
Ranma was being faithful to the engagement with
Akane. Simply put if Ranma
would have been unfaithful with any of the other
fiancees they would surely
had used this fact to claim Ranma as their own.

Nodoka decided to have a talk about this with the
Hibiki boy when she saw
him next time. It seemed the Hibiki Boy also
claimed that her son was a
dishonorable coward, claiming that Ranma had ran
out of some duel they had
been supposed to have long ago. If that was true,
it would have been a stain
on Ranma and an act not befitting for a man
amongst men.

Which led to the last of problems that came with
the today's mail, after
finding some more bills for skipped debts from her
husband, Genma, she
noticed a small package coming in a manilla
envelope that was sent to her
from Mr Noha Starliner.

After opening it and looking through the papers
inside, Nodoka left for the
Tendo house containing to read the contents while
she walked. It seemed that
her husband had yet again gone and engaged Ranma
to another girl and actually
went and signed a contract for this agreement. As
she read it, her anger
began to grow as she passed the part that said
that Genma was the sole
custodial parent and that she was deceased. what
was even worse was that it
was not the worst, the contract had been made on
the Entire Clan's Honor and
name. This one was going to be a problem and it
was going to be very hard to
fight it without drowning the Saotome name.

She also read that Genma had also signed that he
had received the dowry, and
as both the contract and the receipt for the
dowery had been signed by
witnesses intently put this claim in her mind as
one having the best claim.
The Tendos argument might be supported by both
families but she knew of no
witnesses to the agreement. She guessed that Soun
and Genma had made the
promise while drunk and half asleep in some bar.

Nodoka almost dropped the papers in shock as she
opened a certified check for
10 Million US dollars and a note with it saying
that the credit chip given to
Genma was no longer valid. The included list of
crimes and debts the Genma
had gathered during the training journey he had
been on with Ranma for 10
years made her even more furious. She was going to
have a real long talk with
Genma when she saw him. It even had an arrest
warrant from New Avatron for
theft, breaking and entering, child abuse and
child endangerment. Strange,
considering she had never heard of the country
before.

On the way to Tendo home, Nodoka saw Ranma and
Akane walking home from school
and Nabiki who was a little behind them intently
reading something. As she
got nearer, Nodoka could see that it was another
copy of the contract.

Heading towards the middle Tendo Daughter, she
called out to her. "Good
afternoon Nabiki."

Looking up from the papers she was reading Nabiki
saw that Nodoka had come up
to her and had another set of papers which looked
much like the ones she was
just reading. "Hi aunty, I see you also got a
package today." Nabiki replied,
her respect for this Mr Starliner kept growing.
'This person is very good at
planing this out.' she thought to herself knowing
that a lot of planning had
went into today's events.

"So what do you know abut my husband's latest
transgressions, Nabiki. It
seems that you got a copy of the contract as
well." She asked wondering how
Nabiki had got a copy of the document so soon.

"Yes Aunty, it was delivered to me by a courier
just today while in school."
Nabiki explained to Nodoka, knowing that she was a
little suspicious as to
why she had a copy. " It seems that this Mr
Starliner found out that I am the
one in the family that handles a lot of the
family's legal dealings."

"And how did he know of this? His letter informed
me that he only came to
Japan in the last 2 weeks and was coming to
Tendo's today so that the
contract could be honored and to further discuss
any possible problems in
carrying it out." Nodoka wondered while Nabiki was
a bit curious as to what
she though of the contract.

Nabiki looked through the papers again, "This Mr
Starliner, he seems to be
very intelligent and well off. I am almost certain
he had hired that PI which
was seen around here a few days ago," said Nabiki
stopping for a second to
think what she thought of it. "I begin to think
that there's more than just
this new engagement. This person pretty much has
what he needs to ruin the
Saotome name if he was out for revenge."

"Do you think that is what this person is after?
Revenge for something Genma
did?" Nodoka asked a little fearful, "That this
person is seeking revenge and
is trying to ruin the Saotome name?"

"It could be just that Aunty, Uncle Genma did sign
on the clans honor that no
other arrangements to marry Ranma existed and the
Genma would make no other
agreements once signing the contract." Nabiki told
Nodoka.

"So the Tendo and Saotome agreement is in direct
violation of the contract.
Genma was basically lying when he signed to the
fact that no other
arrangements existed." Nodoka said with a sigh, "I
also think you should see
this." she added, handing the PI's report on Genma
past integrations.

"What is this?" Nabiki asked while taking the
report and the note that came
with it. As Nabiki looked through it, her
expression paled.

She never had really believed that Ranma was not
good enough for her sister,
when Ranma and his father first came she had
thought that both of them where
just some useless freeloaders. As time had passed,
she had became to actually
like Ranma in the end unlike at beginning when she
had thought Ranma had been
just some dumb Jock, Someone who was all too easy
to take advantage of.

Nabiki still remembered when she had began taking
pictures of Ranma and his
female side. The pictures of Ranmas female side
had brought in lots of money
too, especially since Kuno was willing to buy a
lot of them of his Pig-tailed
goddess. She even sold photos of Ranma's male form
as well as a lot of the
girls seemed to want photos of Ranma as well. Even
though they knew they
could never have him. After a while of doing this
she had began to suspected
that Ranma was actually letting her take the
pictures of him. Ranma was just
too good of a martial artist not to noticed her
sneaking into his room late
at night to take the pictures. It had been just a
little while ago since she
actually confronted Ranma with it. All he had said
to her had been that he
did not what to be a lazy good for nothing Panda
like his father.

After that, Nabiki's respect for Ranma grew, Ranma
was not the dumb jock that
she had first thought he was. As she started to
look at Akane's behavior
towards Ranma, and simply after the indecent with
Saffon and the failed
marriage, she began to believe it was actually
Akane that did not deserve
Ranma.

But the honor of the Tendos had been involved and
Nabiki had very little she
could have done, the honor could not be easily
ignored.

Stopping her reverie Nabiki read the additional
papers that Nodoka had given
her and was totally surprised by what she saw, to
have believed that this was
person had attempted to ruin the Saotome's name.
It wasn't that, but to
finally show that Genma had no Honor at all. This
Mr Starliner seemed to want
Ranma out of Genma's life totally.

As far as Nabiki was concerned the Tendo-Saotome
agreement was over. She
would not allow the Tendo Estate to be lost
because of some greedy Panda.
Simply, even both of the families entire estates
could not pay off all the
debts that Genma had made over the years. Nabiki
had always suspected that
Genma was just after her families house and Dojo
and just Using Ranma and the
agreement to get it, and lay off for the rest of
his life, now she was
totally certain of it. If any Tendo married Ranma
it would most likely lead
to the loss of the Tendo estate and the only way
for the Saotome Estate to be
saved was for them to have Ranma marry Lorena
Starliner or have him marry a
Kuno but Nabiki knew that Ranma would rather
commit seppuku than to do that.

"Aunty this is very disturbing to say in the
least," Nabiki said to Nodoka.

"What do you think should be done about this?"
Nodoka asked hoping that
maybe the middle Tendo daughter know of a way out
of this.

"May I ask about the Saotome estate?" Nabiki
asked, a little more nervous now
at the answer.

"The Saotome home has been in my family for a long
time. Just like with your
family Nabiki. My family are also descendants from
minor noble blood and
samurais." she informed Nabiki.

"What would be most likely to happen now if Akane
and Ranma where to marry?"
Nodoka asks, fearful of the answer. She just knew
that both Genma and Soun
would still demand that their families had to be
joined, no matter the costs.

"well, we would most likely loss both families
estate and both families Honor
and name would be ruined as well." Nabiki informed
Nodoka knowing she would
not like what she was telling her.

Nabiki's answer was what Nodoka had feared, the
only way out of it was to
have Ranma challenge Lorena to a duel or have both
her son and husband go
through the Seppuku contract and hope that Mr
Starliner would except the duel
or that the pledge would be exceptable to him. She
did not want Ranma to be
married to some gaijin girl. Gaijins, who simply
couldn't understand the true
meaning of honor and were little better than
barbarians, not at all civilized
like the Japanese were.

Nodoka was thinking about this to herself while
they continued walking
towards the Tendos home. With Ranma and Akane
walking just a little bit in
front of her, she could hear that both know of
them knew of the pledge, Akane
yelling at Ranma about him being an two timing
perverted freak and Ranma
insulting Akane back by saying she was a violent
uncute maniac.

Nodoka really did not see Ranma's behavior towards
Akane to be befitting of a
man amongst men. Insulting his fiancee like that,
but when Ranma actually did
what Akane had demanded of him, he remained quiet.
A moment later Akane just
malleted Ranma in the middle of the street for
ignoring her, Nodoka was then
concerned that no mater what Ranma would do, it
would not satisfy the Tendo
girl.

After that had happened, Nodoka walked up to the
youngest Tendo girl, telling
her that she should calm down and leave Ranma
alone for a while. "But the
pervert deserved it, getting himself engaged again
like that! It's not like I
want to marry the freak but I hate it when all the
other hussies think they
can just have him." Akane angrily replied.

Nodoka was a little taken by her remark, did the
girl hold honor in so little
regard?

"I was thinking of having Ranma challenging this
new girl to a duel." She
told Akane, irritated at Akanes reaction.

"I am a martial artist too! I can beat this
hussy." Akane quickly snapped.

"I think it's best if Ranma handles the duel
Akane, after all he has the best
skill."

"Ranma only wins because of some tricks of his or
because he's cheating,
unlike me. I'm way better than Ranma and it's
about time I show why I am the
best in Nerima, I don't need to cheat to win."
Akane said angrily. She didn't
like it when people said that the perverted freak
was better than her. She
knew that she was the best, didn't she beat the
freak every time she used her
mallet?

Nodoka could not believe what Akane was saying.
She knew quite well that
Akane had only the fundamental Basics of the art
and was quite far the least
skilled in the Art, all the other girls where much
more skilled than Akane
who was clearly not even remotely in the same
league as Ranma. For Akane to
actually claim to be better than Ranma was simple
outrage. She was becoming a
insult to the art.

That made Nodoka to decide that it would be better
to have the engagement
switched to Kasumi, she was the only one of the
Tendo girls that would be a
proper Japanese wife to Ranma. Maybe she should
also arrange for Nabiki and
Ukyo to be Ranma mistresses as well, Nabiki might
not make a proper wife but
she would still be useful as a mistress and having
Ukyo as a mistress might
satisfy her honor. Nodoka could not see how Ukyo
could be a proper wife for
Ranma, and Shampoo also shared the same fault as
this Lorena Starliner.
Nodoka didn't want her family blood tainted with
gaijin blood.

As they neared the gates of the house they heard
Soun loudly crying out how
Genma had gone and engaged Ranma to an alien girl.
All four stopped where
they were, in total shock at what was just
revealed.

"You perverted freak, you're now even sleeping
with some Alien whore!" Akane
yelled, whirling to face Ranma.

Akane then did something utterly destroyed any
last thoughts in Nodoka's mind
to actually allow her son to marry her. Akane's
battle aura blazed a bright
red, as she proceeded to teach Ranma a lesson that
he would never forget and
what she though he deserved for being unfaithful
to her with a slut that was
not even human. That in her mind, Akane delivered
her punishment, something
that no true martial artist would never do in any
circumstances, she
proceeded to kick Ranma in the groin.

"That's it, you sex changing freak, this is what
you deserve for dishonoring
me with your perversion and for sleeping with
something that is not even
human!" Akane yelled out at Ranma who was lying on
ground moaning in pain.
"If I ever catch you even talking to that alien
whore I will kill you both,
and if I see that inhuman slut near my home I will
kill her for her crimes
against me. You belong to me, I can do anything I
like to you, next time you
insult me I will kill you for the perverted freak
you are! I should have
killed you back when I learned that you where
nothing but some pervert boy!"
Akane shouted before storming into the house as
quickly as she could.

Nodoka and Nabiki looked at the remaining scene
with horror. Nabiki was now
afraid for Akane's life, she knew that Nodoka had
a strict sense of honor and
Akane had just committed both a very dishonorable
act and something that
veiled the code of a martial artists in front of
Nodoka in a very big way.

Nodoka sensing what Nabiki was thinking about,
raised her voice. "I will not
ask for Akane to take her own life but only after
I have had a word with Soun
he has to forbid her to ever practice the art
again and Akane has to have
also agreed to this and swear on her honor that
she will no longer practice
or call herself a martial artist ever again."
Nodoka told. Infuriated at
seeing such dishonorable act being committed in
plain sight. "After all this
is cleared up I will have Soun and Genma move the
engagement to Kasumi, she's
the only girl in Nerima that would make a proper
wife to Ranma." Nodoka
continued to say to Nabiki, angered by the fact
that someone of the Anything
goes school would commit such a shameful act.

Nabiki didn't like what she had heard at all, she
hated it when she did not
have any control over the situation but if she
wanted to save Akane's life
she had to go along with this. She had never
really wanted Kasumi to be
dragged into this but they had no choice in the
matter. "Yes Aunty. That will
be fine. I can see that it will be for the best."
Was all she could say. Then
both she and Nodoka help the very badly hurting
Ranma up and then went
inside.

Genma looked very scared when they all came in and
he noticed that his wife
was with them.

"Husband what's this about you engaging our son to
some alien girl." Nodoka
said to Genma. Of all her husband's past
indignations the some could not be
ignored. It was one thing to have it happen with
some gaijin, it was a whole
another thing to have it happen with some girl
that was not human.

"It's not my fault," Genma said trying to find
some excuse. "I thought he
would not be able to get here, let alone to be
able to find me." He said,
looking extremely nervous at how Nodoka was
fiddling with the katana she
always carried with her.

"And how did you meet this girl's father?" Nodoka
ask her husband.

"It's all the boy fault, if he would only have
listened to what I told him to
do, we would not have needed to run from the
police through that portal."
Genma said, using one of his old ways to try to
get out of trouble, use Ranma
as a Pawn.

"You ended up on their world." Nodoka said,
actually missing the part about
the police, though Nabiki did not.

"Well if Ranma was better at his training he would
have never have caught the
ungrateful boy." Genma said in his defense.

"Well, if my dishonorable son would not have got
himself caught when I sent
him to steal some gold from that house of Noha's,
this would never have
happed." Genma said, so intent was he on putting
the blame on Ranma that he
actually confirmed that the Arrest warrant for him
on New Avatron was Valid.

"And I suppose it had something to about this?"
Nodoka said angrily to Genma,
throwing the arrest warrant to him.

"Damn that boy. It should have been him that
should have had the warrant on
him, that's what he was for." Genma grumbled.

"Whaaa! My son-in-law is a wanted criminal" Soun
cried out, totally ignoring
reality that it was his long time friend who was
the one who actually had the
arrest warrant out on him.

"There's no whey I going to marry a wanted
perverted freak, I refuse to marry
a dishonorable criminal." Akane angrily added
picking up what her father had
said and using it as an excuse not to marry Ranma
despite what her father
said that the family honor told her to do.

"Well, when he finally gets here we will just have
to have Ranma challenge
Lorena." Said Nodoka thinking that would solve the
problem, Nodoka was quite
confident that Ranma would win.

"That won't work, she's not a martial artist.
Ranma would break the code if
he fought her." Genma inform them. Despite all of
Genmas crime's he did take
the code seriously and installed the code into
Ranma since the time he first
had started to train him.

"I show that alien Hussy that I can defeat her
then I show her just what a
martial artist can do." Akane yelled out,
oblivious to the fact all she was
doing was showing to everyone that she was not.

"Akane you will not do such a thing." Nodoka said,
fearing that she would
attack the girl while she was a guest at the Tendo
home. The latter clear
stated he would be arriving soon under a state of
truce. Attacking the girl
on sight would be an act of dishonor on the Tendos
name if she did do it.
"They're coming under a truce and will be here
shortly she informed." his
youngest daughter.

"I don't care! I'm going to kill that inhuman
hussy when I see her. she's not
human so I can do what ever I want to her."

Soun was shocked at Akane behavior and at how
dangerously close she was
getting to dishonoring the Dojo. "You will do no
such thing Akane, I will not
have you stain the dojo's honor." Soun said to
Akane not wanting the dojo
ruined.

"I am the heir to this dojo, I can do whatever I
want!" She yelled angrily at
her father.

Ranma was also shocked at Akane's outburst. Honor
meant everything to him but
Akane had just seemed to just give it lip service,
just as the Kunos' did.
"You don't mean that Akane would do something so
dishonorable?" Ranma said
not believing what he was hearing.

"Did I give you permission to speak to me!" Akane
let out. Grabbing a nearby
vase and slamming it atop Ranmas head, knocking
him out on the floor.

"Oh my." Kasumi let out, "And Akane promised on
her honor that she would
never again hit anyone in anger, ever again."
Confused why her sweet little
sister was acting this way.

"And just when did she make this oath?" Nodoka
asked, she was quickly lost on
the oldest Tendo daughter seemingly obliviousness
to what was happing around
her.

"Just a little while after Ranma arriveda Aunty. I
thought she would have
grown out of it by now." Kasumi informed, "I'm not
sure why Nodoka, it was
not like Akane was overly violent, just a little
excitable."

"Doesn't anyone in the family have any honor?"
Nodoka asked herself. Kasumi
seemed to not care that her sister could not
behave honorably at all, or so
it seemed. But getting back to the matter at hand.

"Well then, we will just have to have Ranma duel
this Noha Starliner." Nodoka
decided, not really knowing what she was getting
herself into.

Genma paled at that, "He's a weapon user and
claims to be a warrior!" He was
fearful because he feared seeing some of Noha's
skill as a warrior and
figured that if Ranma used some of his ki attacks,
Noha could see that as
using a weapon and retaliate in kind.

"Is the any primarily bare handed fighter in the
Starliner family?" Nodoka
asked her husband, not like this turn of events at
all.

"No, Tanis would kill the boy, I won't allow him
to fight him." Genma said,
wanting to run now, there was no way he wanted to
meet that thing ever again
and his mate had said that she would use him as a
scratching post if he ever
harmed Ranma again and the Neko-ken training would
be just that in her eyes,
and Nime was just as terrifying as Tanis.

"You're not afraid of this man, are you husband?"
Asked his wife, Nodoka
could clearly see the fear in Genma's eyes. "I am
afraid of no Man." Genma
boldly replied. "Better if the boy will be killed
by him than me." He let
out, getting ready to make a run for it.

Nodoka paled and decided to have another long talk
with Genma, displaying
such cowardness could not be tolerated. It was one
thing for Genma to show
fear to Happousai. But to an alien it could not be
tolerated. Genma had to
show why they had more honor and were more
civilized than other people.

Ranma was getting angry, every one was deciding
about his fate for him and he
was not getting any say in it and Ranma was
furious at his father. He had
always told Ranma that a member of Anything Goes
must accept all challenges
if they wanted to keep their honor. Now Genma was
actually trying to run away
from a one, Ranma knew that if he ever said what
Genma just did he would
immediately disown him and claim that Ranma had no
honor.

"If Tanis shows up then no matter who he
challenges, especially if it was me,
you will fight him or you will be tossed out of
the clan! I will not tolerate
a son who will refuse a challenge. Your honor now
depends on it boy, prove
your worth to me and I will no longer tolerate any
disrespect from you."
Genma let out content that he had thought up a
good plan, let Ranma deal with
the problem and make certain that his honor was
riding on it. Leaving him
free to make a run for it. Genma thought before
happening to look at Nodoka
who was now drawing her sword. His skin paled has
he knew she would take this
as an act of cowardice and now planned to remove
the stain of honor from her
family name.

"Husband you've gone too far this time. I cannot
forgive this." She said her
anger showing with the battle aura she was now
displaying.

At that moment, Genma was getting ready to attack
her and run. He made a
guess that Noha sent his dowery in to Nodoka, so
that she could use it. It
belonged to him, not Nodoka, after all he had
earned it after taking care of
Ranma all these years and he was going to need
that money when he made his
escape. Once he had the money, he could live a
life of luxury like he had
always wanted, it was the only reason he had left
New Avatron with Ranma
anyway. He had needed the boy since he was
returning to Earth to escape the
law there after he realized that the credit chip
would be worthless when he
got back.

Now if he grabbed the check, he could live the
life of luxury he was trying
to get and that had been why he had married Nodoka
in the first place anyway.
He had dumped the woman he had actually had some
feelings for, so that he
could marry a rich woman and Nodoka with her
thought of mainlines was just
the most conventional one. The master's training
had really paid off back
then. Though she did take that earlier girl's
address, he was always certain
that he would never see her again. Simply because
she tended to get lost all
the time just like that Hibiki boy.

Just as both elder Saotomes were about to make
their moves, the door bell
rang. It was a surprise to everyone since most
visitors rarely use the door
bell. Let alone the front door at all.

Genma then knew his time was up, the Starliner's
had arrived and everyone in
the house knew that after this meeting their lives
would never be the same
again.

I want to thank Pauli Savola and all the other
People in the Fanfics Forum on
Delphi that help me with this fic.

Okay, first of all the formatting is not good. Please come back and linebreak them correctly, by hand if necessary.

Secondly, this chapter (and probably the other two) needs to be proofread more deeply, as there are small errors scattered everywhere, which makes it hard to read. Please always proofread before posting.

Because of these two points, reading the chapter it somewhat difficult. However, I do notice that your scenes need a little work on the Show, Don't Tell aspect, and some other things. One is that announcing the place setting at the start of each scene isn't a great idea, because it's rather jarring (tip: use scene dividers). Another is that in dialogue-heavy scenes, it's not good to have the "he said" part of the paragraph in every paragraph.

There's more to say but I'll leave that for when you error check and fix the formatting.
