[Episode 187273] [Episode 187273]In the part of his mind that was once Maledict, Ranma remembered 5 powerful demons devoted to serving Maledict, and would give their lives if need be.
What better to use for allies?
He raised his hand into the air, and using some of his new power, shot a beam of red light into the air. Less than five seconds later, five demons appeared kneeling before him. Their names were Ose, Surt, Skadi, Jikokuten, and Ongyo-Ki.
Ose, who appeared to be a were-cheetah, looked up at Ranma. "Master Maledict?"
Ranma smirked. "It's Ranma now, actually."
Ryouga, meanwhile, awoke to find himself staring into the face of a corpse. Now, Ryouga can stand a lot of things, but only up to a point. He opened his mouth to scream, but a hand was immediately clapped over his mouth by Akane. Keeping her hand over his mouth, she put a finger over hers, then pointed over to Ranma and the demons.
Ongyo-Ki, a black ogre, shared a quick look with Surt, a small Giant, at this changing of names. "We thought you were dead, Master Mal- er, Master Ranma. We hunted down and killed those damn monks, slowly and painfully."
Ranma smiled at this. "I see. Good work, Ongyo-Ki. However, during the years where our mind merged, I realized that it was no chance that they found me. I know that one of you betrayed me."
Skadi, the only female of the group, frowned. "But we each pledged our loyalty to you. Who could have been so foolish?" She looked over at Jikokuten, another ogre, who appeared to be sweating and avoiding the other's gaze.
Ranma smirked and also looked at Jikokuten. "Yes. Who indeed."
Jikokuten looked up. "Why- Why are you all looking at me?"
Ranma smirked even wider. "Oh, I think you know." Ranma raised his hand into the air yet again. A long spear appeared in his hand.
Jikokuten, looking scared, started to scuffle backward on his hands. "Now- Now hold on a moment, let's just think about this-"
Ranma flared. "THINK? Ever since I was sent into exiled, thinking is all I have done! I have thought, and thought, and thought, and I am done thinking! Now is not a time for thinking! Now is a time for ACTION!"
Ranma plunged the spear through Jikokuten's chest. Jikokuten screamed in pain for half a second before he dissolved into ki, which flowed into Ranma.
Akane and Ryouga flinched, not believing that Ranma killed his own comrade so callously. Staying quiet, they crept into the nearby trees, then once they were out of earshot, dashed as fast as they could toward town.
Ranma turned toward his remaining minions, his eyes glowing a deep purple. "Any other insubordination, and you will be punished even greater than Jikokuten. Is that clear?"
"YES SIR!"
"Good." Ranma smiled evilly and turned around. He faced the town sprawled out before him. He raised the spear.
"Gentlemen... OUR DAY HAS COME!!!"
