Ranma looked at the secretary carrying a mountain of reports he asked after attaining the dark throne. Indeed, he could have used the time gates, but this way it was less time consuming. He had underlings for the whole gathering information thing.
Looking over the most powerful chi adepts he knew in his previous timeline. It was a surprise and a disappointment reading over the first dossier. In one hand, he was much less powerful as his original timeline,The good news were that he would be easy to recruit.
Herb, had an interesting life. He had the wonderful idea of kidnapping one of the amazons to be his wife. A moxibustion touch from cologne, a locked female curse later, and being married to Mousse as the final punishment (Shampoo suggestion, that surprisingly enough was deemed a good idea, Therefore Herb, who was prime breeding material, was paired with a strong but defective male)
Surprisingly, both Mousse and Herb made quick friends due to they shared situation, frequently training together and plotting bloody murder towards every female alive.
Ranma closed the dossier. Those two could come in handy, and would enjoy any opportunity to maim a female…
On the other hand the dossier with the name Ukyo Kuonji, didn’t have many differences, indeed, Ucchan was still travelling and searching for Ranma, to kick his ass for abandoning her in the road a few years ago.
Ranma scratched his chin. Ukyo had been smart and loyal to him in the other pasts, Ranma lacked in those departments in his ranks. She was pretty, and perhaps she wouldn’t mind to be one of his consorts until the end of time, a definite maybe, and a great potential recruit but she needed training to compete in even terms with the senshi.
Ranma grabbed the third dossier, with the name Ryouga. Wondering what happened to him without his interference in his life. The contents were rather surprising. Ryouga, thanks to his family curse, and his sixth sense into meeting seemingly rare Martial masters and magical artefacts, and without a lifelong revenge against him, spend more time under the martial arts master he occasionally met in his travels, Learning, and refining his family art to levels high enough that even his best stealth youma had trouble spying without being detected… (And those youma were invisible). Therefore, Info on him was scarce, but if he believed the report, Ryouga was near cologne and Happosai level at the very least…)
Ranma vowed to have this improved Ryouga on his side, or at least neutral. Ryouga would be loyal as long as he was happy. He would have to ask his researchers on how to control Ryouga’s family curse… After that, Ryouga’s happiness and loyalty to the hidden empire would be assured. And a soldier that could teleport virtually anywhere would be very useful... Imagine the possibilites if he could do it in battle...
Leaving Ryouga dossier aside for further and more in depth reading, he reached for another random one in the pile…
Genma Saotome.
Ranma frowned. He remembered the old man as a powerful martial artist, but that was overshadowed by his sneakyness, and reckless opportunism. The old man genuinely cared for him, and tried to do his best towards Ranma, although his best wasn’t always a very good idea. Happosai had been indeed a very bad influence on young Genma Saotome life.
But seeing what the unbelievable dossier said…
Genma, seeing his son stolen by demons, had a revelation about his life, and saw the demon snatching ranma as a punishment from the heavens for his past actions. The event was a huge shock in his system. It made Genma look back at his decisions. It was a long time of self reflection.
Losing Ranma was the catalyst for Genma Saotome to reform, reclaim his honour, and dedicate his life into getting him back. He trained endlessy, he learned more techniques, and he apologized and came clean to Nodoka who supported him in his quest to get their son back. Nodoka started studying magic in an effort to get his baby child back, and Genma pursued further martial arts, and still growing stronger each day; His objective to fight the demons that snatched Ranma and get him back.
Although the report included that the youma lost their trail recently near jusenkyo…
Ranma looked at the pile of unread dossiers. What should he do?
