The next morning, Ranma got up early. He saw Wakka get ready for the journey. He was instructing his team to go ahead to the shore. Ranma grinned. After yesterday's training with him, they surely would be able to took on the fiends on their way. Even Keepa looked a little slimmer than yesterday. After burning down all these calories, he had a reason to eat some of Kasumi's cookies.
Wakka walked up to him. "Morning," he said while carrying a long sword.
"Morning," Ranma answered. "Um, is that for me?"
"No, no, I know you're not the type for a swordfight. It's for Tidus! Ya know, it's the sword I wanted to give to my little bro Chappu, but... he preferred an Al Bhed machina weapon... Well, so I thought: Why not give this to Tidus? Good idea, ya?"
Ranma nodded and took a look at the sword. It looked like it was filled with some kind of liquid, but in reality, it was as hard as steel, inside and outside. The blade was pretty sharp on one side, and the handle seemed to be just right.
"Looks like he'll be able to slash up some fiends with this thing," he nodded.
"I just hope the sleepy-head is getting up soon," Wakka grumbled. "We have to go soon."
Then, Akane and Kasumi were stepping out of the crusader's tent. Akane stretched her arms. "Morning, Ranma... Mmmmh, the beds were really comfortable! And this air is so fresh... Totally different from home, don't you think?"
"Morning, you two," Ranma said. "You know, before I forget it: I've got something I wanted to show you before we left."
"What's that, Ranma-kun?" Kasumi asked and pointed to the two spheres he was pulling out of his shirt.
He smiled. "These are two dresspheres Nabiki gave to me before we were separated. She got them from a friend. And she explained to me how they work. I don't really need them, but she thought you might be interested."
"Hmmm, perhaps!" Akane sounded interested. "What do they do?"
"Basically, they give you the ability of a certain class of warrior, or mage! They provide you with the necessary abilities and equipment. Nabiki thought these two would be perfect for you, so I wanted to give them to you."
"That's really thoughtful of her," Kasumi smiled. "See Akane, she IS concerned about her family!"
"Well, okay, she isn't a greedy little money-maker... at least not all the time!"
"Akane, that was not very nice," Kasumi frowned. Akane giggled.
"You really want to come with us?" Akane asked her sister thoughtful. "You're no martial artist, like me and Ranma, you know? Are you sure you don't want to stay in the village? We'll come and get you, if we find a way back home!"
"Oh, that's really nice of you, Akane, but... I think I have to keep an eye on my little sister. And who knows, with these presents, maybe I would be able to defend myself after all!"
"All right, if you say so... So, Ranma... What do these do?"
"Well, Nabiki wanted to give you some that would fit your personality, so she chose these two..."
