Ranma's cry had awakened those still asleep, and the subsequent outpouring of Ki and magical energy was monstrous. This further increased the urgency of those sensitive to such energies. As the others rushed outside, the cry stopped.
They saw Akane with a shocked expression on her spider-like face. Following her gaze, they saw they now female Ranma examining herself in confusion.
