"RANMA! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!" Mara bellowed as she ducked under a sword slash that would've decapitated her. In retaliation she raised a hand and gave a shock, literally, to the Amazon that was just starting to recover from her missed swing. She was sent flying away to crash against a wall, her skin charred as electricity still arched through her unconscious body.
Ranma laughed in delight as he jumped spinning on himself and did a very real imitation of the hurricane kick a video game character always did. He landed gracefully on his feet while a dozen Amazons hit the dirt awkwardly. With his usual martial arts skills he was a force to be reckoned with. Add to that his now First Class Demon powers and he was really enjoying himself executing previously unthinkable moves. "What are you complaining about, tomboy? You wanted in on the fun, didn't you?"
Steam seemed to pour out of Mara's ears as she received a hit to the back of her head. The club she was hit with broke in half and the demoness turned around to 'thank' the dumbfounded Amazon for the attention. "Beating the shit out of me and then having me involved in a fight against an entire village is your idea of fun?!" She demanded incredulously. To tell the truth she didn't even know how she started fighting as well. One moment she was still under Ranma's foot, the next she was shooting bolts of dark lightning around. Mara turned to glare pointedly at Ranma after firing another lightning bolt, which downed two girls. "Well? IS IT?!!"
Ranma turned to regard Mara at that very moment. As fate would have it the Amazons around them all seemed to stop attacking, to organize themselves better in attacking the two outsiders that were kicking their collective butts, and therefore everybody heard Ranma's answer to the question. "... Yeah," he admitted with a shrug of his shoulders, a big grin of delight plastered on his face.
Mara stared at Ranma incredulously before she burst out laughing.
Ranma smirked just as the Amazons swarmed them again.
This time, though, Mara was really enjoying herself.

"Great-grandmother!" Shampoo cried as she ran downstairs.
Cologne was already by the door, having heard the commotion and on her way towards it. "Hurry, great-granddaughter!" With that she bolted out of the house and hopped over a house to take a short cut. The purple-haired Amazon was hot on her heels.
Just as they left and the front door was about to close a delicate hand slipped in and stopped it from doing so. Silent as death itself Kodachi slipped into the house and closed the door behind herself. She was bleeding from a cut lip, courtesy of her Ranma-sama, and had a big bruise over her left cheek. Those love taps, however, meant nothing for the slightly unbalanced woman but further proof of her lover's affection for her.
But enough of that. As she walked into the house and started looking around Kodachi felt her heart start to beat faster. She was so close to holding her baby in her arms. A baby that she had never been allowed to hold.
As if on cue the cry of a baby was heard from upstairs and the Black Rose rushed up so fast even Ranma would've been hard pressed to best her performance. In an instant Kodachi was standing next to a crib and looking down at the most adorable little thing she had ever seen. She cried tears of joy as she reached down to hold the bawling 'Japanese' baby in her arms. There was no doubt about it, this was her little girl. She had her Ranma-sama's blue eyes.
Kodachi remained there shushing her little treasure happily, unaware of the outside world for the moment.

Mara pouted as she adjusted her mini-skirt, which had hiked up to her waist during the confrontation. "No more?" She was breathing heavily, but not from exhaustion. Rather she was excited at being able to let loose like that.
Ranma shrugged his shoulders just as more and more Amazons started to arrive. The new arrivals didn't attack recklessly, though, since they were treated to the sight of Ranma and Mara standing amongst at least thirty of their fallen brethren.
The pigtailed demon realized that with his training in Hell, as Hild liked to put it, he'd reached a whole new level. Fighting thirty skilled fighters that would be able to match Shampoo felt easy. Too easy.
"Son-in-law?"
Both Ranma and Mara turned to see Cologne and some of the other elders, if their size and wrinkles were any indication, standing in front of a rather sizable army of battle-ready Amazons.
Ranma just smirked and...
