Teal'c raised a brow. "I do not know. In all my years of training, and in combat, I have yet to see anything that can seem to match this level of prowess."
"So... No space aliens that can move faster than we can see or pull stuff out of nowhere, or hit things without touching them?"
"None that I have seen either personally, or in any tale available to the Goa'uld."
"Carter?"
"Sorry sir," the blonde woman replied, "I don't have an explaination for you. I have theories, but I'd have to have Mister Saotome in a lab and run tons of experiments to even start understanding what makes him able to do... this."
"Great. Daniel?" Jack asked.
"Umm... Sorry. There are plenty of references to special abilities, but they're all vague stories. They tell of powerful techniques known only by a small groups, but they only speak of 'gifts from the gods' or the 'powers that eminate from within us all'," Doctor Jackson answered.
"Could this be some sort of leftover Goa'uld experiment or something like that?" Hammond put in.
"It's entirely possible, but it's also possible that it might be some sort of special powers that only show up in a small section of the population."
"I see..."
Genma sat crosslegged and wondered what all the fuss was about. He hadn't even shown them the big stuff, and they were acting as if there was some sort of major problem.
Of course, he was also standing on his head at the moment, but it was just another balancing exercise, and was nothing special.
"Now, what happened to your dad?" Ranma asked Hotaru as he led her through the Goa'uld base, or what remained of it.
She nibbled a little on her lower lip. "I don't know... They took us together, but seperated us when some glowing eyed guy picked me out..."
"'Kay... That ain't good, but it ain't bad. We'll just have to see 'bout finding him so we can see how he is."
"I hope so..."
"Don't worry. All ya gotta do is believe that we'll do it, and we will."
"You think so?"
"I know so. If ya think that ya are gonna lose, ya will lose. It's as simple as that. So perk up, 'kay?"
"Sure," she told him, and gave him a smile that had him blushing and giving a bit of a nervous giggle.
But it didn't stop him from tossing his bag at the center of a trio of Jaffa. As that man found himself burdened by an armfull of loot, Ranma was using the distraction to strike the other two at the same time. He bounced between the pair, quickly taking them out before kicking his bag out of the last one's hold. That was followed by a kick to the chest that made him stumble, and one to the head that had the Jaffa twirling in the air a bit before he flew into the ground with a painful 'thud'.
"See?" the pigtailed boy said with a glance at the fallen warriors.
"Ranma..," Hotaru began.
"What?"
"I..."
"You're still not..."
The staff in her hands let out a blast which made her stumble, and the warrior who'd been getting up fall back down again."
"'Scared'..."
"Did I do that?"
"Yeah, ya did."
"Oh my..,"
"C'mon. Let's go find your dad," he said, pulling her by the arm as they went while:
