“Oh I know! Since Genma isn’t Ranma’s father than he has no reason to be here! Well, I guess neither do I then,” Mihoshi said to herself before waving to Nabiki. “Bye now!” Then with a sudden flash of light, Nabiki was left standing in her room alone.
“Why do I have the feeling this is going to come back and bite me in the ass?” she asked herself with a sigh. “Well, better go see what kind of damage there is now.”
Meanwhile halfway across the world, in a town that could go toe to toe against Tokyo on the weirdo-meter, three teenagers that might of looked normal at first glance sat at a long desk while a woman with blonde paced back and forth before looking back to look at the people on the other side of the desk… that now numbered two.
Realizing that, the woman stoped, rolled her eyes, then looked around the room. “Back window again?”
The other two teens simply nodded.
“Thanks,” she said before taking a very deep breath. “RANMA KALEN FEEPLE YOU GET BACK HERE THIS INSTANT OR I SWEAR YOU’RE GOING TO BE IN BIG TROUBLE!”
On the outside of the Salusian Embassy to Earth, Ranma gave out a startled yelp at hearing his mother’s yell as it seemed to shake the whole compound and force him to let go of the wall and come crashing down onto the ground below, landing on his head. “Ow my ears,” he muttered to himself before rubbing the rather sensitive areas on top of his skull, Ranma blinked when he noticed a shadow looming over him and let out a small eep as he turned to face what was quite possibly the most terrifying thing on the face of the planet: his mother when she was in a bad mood.
Asrial Feeple, member of the Salusian royal family, Salusian ambassador to Earth, and mother of three, glared down at her eldest son while he scratched his head of black hair and chuckled nervously at being caught in the act of escape. Ever since his grandmother had started teaching him martial arts the boy had been using them to sneak off and shirk his responsibilities, the fact that he was already what most would consider an expert ninja only made it worse. “Honestly Ranma! I expect this of Kassy and Lexus, but you’re the eldest! You’re supposed to be the one watching out for your little brother and sister and making sure they keep out of trouble. What would you’re grandfather King Jerka say if he heard about you acting like this?”
“Uh… your mother showed good foresight giving you the same middle name as your uncle Kalen?” Ranma replied with a nervous smile.
Asrial just sighed and shook her head. Judging by the look on Ranma’s face the other two children had already split while she was lecturing him. Then the ringing of a second later she waved Ranma away so she could go answer it. He would of disappeared the second she turned her back anyway, so why fight it?
A few seconds later, Ranma dropped down from the embassy’s roof and put his hands in his pockets. The reason he dropped down from the roof being that it looked like his mom had an important call and he didn’t want to bother her. Besides, with the strength and agility he had gotten from his mom’s side of the family, and increased through some rather outlandish training exercises that his grandma had thought up, scaling a four story building was a piece of cake. Although he wasn’t as into technology as much as his younger brother and sister, the physical realm was his specialty.
But the question was: what could he do now? Kassy and Lexus were probably long gone, off to play video games or stir up more trouble. Ranma thought about heading over to his grandmother’s dojo to train some more, but he had just come from there after his mom called him to her office. Besides, that place wasn’t exactly much of a challenge anymore; even his grandmother Anna couldn’t give Ranma a run for his money thanks to her increasing age.
However on the other hand, if Ranma just stayed around here then Asrial was certain to catch up to him while she still had this incident fresh in her mind. So he quickly decided that maybe heading over to grandma Annie’s dojo, or the garage so see what Kassy had cooked up now. Hopefully whatever she was working on now wouldn’t turn out like that memory circuitry she cooked up last time, the things took over the home security system two months ago, their own house had tried to fry the family and Ranma's parents needed to bomb the house to get rid of the blasted things.
