"Uhm... Hello Elder. How'd you guess it was me?" asked the pigtailed young man.
"With your new abilities, I would have thought it easy for you to figure out."
"You felt my chi signature."
"Exactly. While your chi has been strong before, now it is much more so."
Shampoo looked from her great-grandmother to her Airen and blinked. "Ranma come to see Shampoo, yes?"
Ranma shrugged. "That was part of the reason."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I wanted to make sure that you guys were okay."
"Shampoo so happy!" declared the Amazon as she bounced over and glomped onto Ranma."
Cologne chucked at the display and shook her head. "I believe that he was talking about the zombies child."
"You knew about them?" asked Ranma with a scowl.
"Yes," answered the Elder, "But before you say anything, by the time I got there, the oldest girl had things well in hand."
"But they haven't come after you?"
"No, not as of yet."
"Do you at least know who they are?"
"That I do not know either, but I can give you some clues. They were obviously sent by a powerful chi wizard."
"What's a 'chi wizard'?"
"Someone like you, only further along."
"What are you talking about?"
"Did you think that you were simply training in some new martial arts style?"
"Um... yeah?"
"You weren't. What you were studying was a manual on chi magic."
"Hold on a second. You're telling me that chi is magic?"
"When used properly, it is. And you are well on your way to being a wizard." Cologne smirked. "That is, if you manage to keep going."
"Why would I stop?"
"Because of distractions. Take the last person that I knew that followed your path. She wound up with six husbands and never had the time to continue her studies."
"Six husbands?"
"Oh yes. Her studies had made her so the more attractive to the opposite sex. She did enjoy it though. Had a smile on all the time."
"How was that possible?"
"Shampoo?"
"Mmm... Yes great-grandma?" murmured the lavander tressed girl.
"What do you think of Ranma now?"
"He too too hunky. Nice and comfortable and sweet!"
"Oh man..," muttered Ranma.
"So you begin to see. But there are other concerns."
"Like what?"
"Like the person who sent those zombies. Whoever it was, they were definately a dark chi wizard."
"'Dark chi wizard'?"
"It is simple. Light and dark. Good and evil. You are becoming a light chi wizard. The one who sent those creatures was a dark one. Understand?"
"But what would this guy want with me?"
"To kill you most likely, or at the very least, to remove you from the picture. You represent a threat to this person, man or woman, and their path will not allow it. And anyone around you for that matter."
"Which explains the attack at the dojo."
"Exactly. And there is an new darkness that just came into the area."
"Just great," muttered Ranma as:
