Asuka Saginomiya considered the vile in her hand. A strange woman had given it to the albino girl, saying that the contents would allow her to finally take her vengeance against that blasted Kodachi Kuno.
Still, Asuka wasn't so certain. The gas within was such a sickly green color...
Surely a little adjustment was in order. She was the White Lilly, after all.
It took only a few experiments before she got the gas to a pleasant white color. Having altered it to match her tastes, she proceeded to release the gas and inhaled deeply.
Then she began convulsing. Stumbling, she knocked over more chemicals in her private lab, adding even more chemicals to the air.
Asuka collapsed.
A few minutes later, she got up again. She could feel the power coursing through her now. She couldn't wait until she could try them out on Kodachi...
She began to laugh, in a way more often associated with her rival...
***
Tsubasa Kurenai laughed. Finally, he had the perfect way to get his beloved Ukyo!
Did she want Ranma? His features shifted. Instant Ranma.
Or maybe a female Ranma? Another shift, and onna-Ranma was there.
Or perhaps another person? He could change into anyone he had ever seen now.
Sure, there were some disadvantages. Waking up with his natural skin turned azure and his hair crimson was unexpected, but he could deal with it.
Now Ukyo would be his! No matter what...
***
In the Gosunkugi household, evil lurked.
As magic power went, Hikaru Gosunkugi never had more than a comparative candle-flame. He was never supposed to be more than a small fry, completely forgettable his entire life.
But that was before. It turned out he had just enough power to open a particular cursed book, and released an ancient spirit.
The ancient spirit was glad to have a body again. No one would ever imprison it again.
Gosunkugi's body would serve for the time being. Well, after some changes.
After all, the imprisoned spirit had been a Sorceress...
***
Pantyhose Taro chuckled as he walked off the ship. It had taken him extra time, but now that he was in Japan legally, he didn't need to be so rushed. He could wait out the old freak, now.
Of course, it never hurt to stack the deck. His work for the triads had preceded him. He already had several job offers from the Yakuza. In no time, he'd be able to grab power himself.
It would be a slow process, but as his power grew in the underworld, he would be able to make life a living hell for Happosai and any who stood with him. The Tendo, the Saotome... they would be ruined long before the old man would crack, he was sure.
Icing on the cake, as far as he was concerned.
***
Hayato Myojin ignored the pain as his new invention fused with his skin. Now he had the instrument of his revenge!
No more was he a simple Takoyaki seller forced to wear a silly mask.
His new mechanical tentacles waved in the air before him, following his every thought.
Yes, from now until his revenge was complete, Hayato Myojin was dead. He was simply Tako now!
***
Tatewaki Kuno was certain this was a sign from the gods! He was certain that now he could bring the sorcerer Saotome to heel with his new, divine power!
To think, those foolish commoners had warned him not to touch that fallen powerline. Ludicrous, that it could hurt him!
Well, okay, it did hurt a little. But what he got in return...
Electricity raced up and down his arms. With a thrust of his hand, a bolt of lightning shot from his hands and destroyed one of his sister's rose bushes.
...yes, this power was worth any price! Thunder and Lightning at his command! Raiden himself must have blessed his quest...
***
And, needless to say, more villains were emerging. Tokyo in general, and Nerima in particular, was going to be infested with superhumans soon...
