"What are ya' doing now, ya' old freak?" Ranma bellowed in a tone of outrage at the source of his current ire, Happosai...
For his part, Happosai maintained his concentration on the magical circle he had drawn onto the Tendo's front lawn during twilight to ensure the successful completion of his latest summonings. This cold evening would finally put that ungrateful brat into his place. This time, there would be no avoiding the summoning spell of antiquity. This scroll was old enough to be genuine. His preparations were flawless, even if it did take him two weeks to find ground newt to build the circle with. This time, that insufferable son of Genma's would dance in front of him wearing panties of the finest silks!
The constant bellowing of Ranma had no affect on the weary old Happosai, he had planned in advance for this, by wearing his sound-proof earmuffs (simple earplugs would not do for such an important and complicated matter). The ranting and raving did nothing to break his concentration, he chanted away ignoring such things.
So into the chanting was Happosai that Ranma's slap to the back of his skull went unnoticed, as did the tennis racket, baseball bat, and hockey stick. Shortly thereafter, Happosai ignored the umbrella, wok, deck of cards, and the muffler from Soun's mini-van. Then just for the sake of being complete, he ignored the giant fan, mallet, and kitchen sink. None of these things would be in the way of his summoning! Nothing!
Suddenly, the flurry of attacks by unrelated items stopped with a crashing noise, which, incidently was also ignored...
"Shampoo bring too-too good late night snack to Airen," Shampoo stated excitedly while fervently looking back and forth in hopes to find Ranma. Then, she noticed the groan beneath her deliver bicycle. "Airen happy to see Shampoo, no?" She asked.
The intelligible answer by the voice beneath the bicycle was assurance enough for her, and she proceeded to glomp without mercy, tossing the bicycle away in a random direction.
The bicycle flipping off of his head, was also ignored.
The clanking noise of the ricocheting bicycle did, however, attract the voluptuous fiancee's attention, "What pervert doing?"
Recovering from his sudden delivery, Ranma managed, "I dunno, but I think the old freak is summoning something from an old scroll again."
Shampoo wandered closer to the ongoing chanting, and felt a small tickle in her nose, "Ah.. Ah-choo!"
A train wreck, a midair collision, a sinking ship, an exploding volcano: those are catastrophes. Conversely, this was much worse than a simple catastrophe. The spell circle of ground newt was broken by the sneeze of an amazon, and the front yard of the Tendo home had a very nice new crater. It also had a new occupant, the result of a summoning spell gone wrong...
The new arrival was female, disoriented, and had something to say about it...
