"That's him," admitted Might Guy, turning back to his ramen.
"Ah," said Ranma, before he returned his attention to his bowl of ramen and finished it off extra fast.
"Master?" asked Tenten.
Genma actually stopped eating for a moment. "Oh yeah. Wakayama."
"Oh?" asked Might Guy. "Ah. That."
"Wakayama?" asked Tenten. "You mean the 'Shooter Tournament'?"
"The All Styles Invitational Tournament," said Might Guy, smiling in rememberance. "What a pity that the Tournament was closed before there could be a clear victor."
"The fact that a chi attack went wild and took out a transmission tower a half mile away might have had something to do with it," said Tenten with a grimace. She'd gotten her butt handed to her in a fight there, if she recalled correctly - and she knew darn well she did.
Ranma pushed the empty bowl away from him and belched once. "Yup."
A door banged open and a bushy browed fellow came charging out. "At last, I have arrived."
"We'll fight later, this place is entirely too nice to wreck," said Ranma with a nod to the proprietor.
"Oh," said Rock Lee, deflating slightly.
"So... no, huh?" Might Guy asked Tenten.
"Actually, I think I lucked out for having a Master," said Tenten. "Well, except for... well mostly."
Ranma frowned. The whatever-it-was was that important?
"I see," said Guy.
"What? What is he failing to do?" asked Rock Lee.
"This and that," said Might Guy.
"Can we just drop this subject?" asked the heavily sweating Tenten.
"It's not my fault," said Genma.
"YES IT IS!" said Tenten, Might Guy, and the proprietor of the ramen stand.
"Aiiiiiyah," said Tenten, looking for a paper bag to stick over her head.
"What?" asked Rock Lee, obviously not getting it.
"Master?" asked Tenten. "May I use the ninja art of disappearing into the floor?"
"Okay," said Ranma. "Don't go too far though."
Genma had already grabbed what was left of her ramen bowl and was emptying it.
"Rescue and recovery?" asked Might Guy.
Ranma leapt up, kicked out, and found his kick blocked by Rock Lee's kick.
"That's the size of it," said Genma.
Rock Lee bounced back, briefly touched a wall, rebounded and swung out at Ranma. Who had done the same thing.
"They make fair rivals," said Guy in a much more quiet-than-normal tone.
Genma nodded ever so fractionally.
"Then it's decided!" boomed Might Guy in a more normal volume. "The rivalry between these two shall be settled by the body count in the rescue operation!"
"Eh?" asked Ranma, bouncing off a wall, then another wall, in order to just miss Rock Lee. He had to rescue more people than bushy-brows?
"So..." said Rock, figuring that knocking out more bad guys than Ranma was a true test of his skills.
