The tension at the Tendo dojo was thick as Akane and Nodoka shared tea with the genuine Amaterasu. Akane did not know what to think let alone say. Her fiancee was supposed to be a magical girl? There were so many things wrong with that picture on so many levels. He trained to be a man amongst men only to find out he has to be a woman? Sure he was an egotistical jerk whose mouth was faster than his head, but wasn't this a little too-
Akane swerved her head around at the familiar sound of an explosion only to stare at the visage of her fiancee blazing like the sun. She did not get angry at him for destroying the dojo entrance. In fact she could not. She was scared stiff, rooted to her spot on the floor unable to move a muscle. She had seen Ranma get angry at Ryouga. She had seen Ranma furious at Herb. She had even seen Ranma strike with intent to kill at Saffron. This though...this was something else. It was like the Neko-ken, but so much darker. It a was like he snapped and turned into something ... inhuman.
"Sorry it took so damn long to get here. I had to blow up a couple of places first."
Amaterasu did not so much as flinch at the arrival of Ranma nor did she pause drinking her tea. She just gazed despondently back at Ranma showing no emotion.
"And the warrior arrives after igniting a sea of flames. Ahhh, you bear great resemblance to Mitsuhide, but even he was merely carrying out my will. This defiance of yours makes you more like Nobunaga."
Ranma snarled as he marched towards her and kicked the table, smashing it on the other side of the dojo.
"I don't give a fuck who I'm like. I don't care if I make the world my enemy. I WILL NOT BE MANIPULATED!"
Nodoka snapped out of her daze. "Now son-"
SNAP!
Only to be knocked unconscious by a back hand to the face courtesy of Ranma.
Amaterasu paid no heed to Nodoka as she continued to keep her attention to Ranma. "Everyone is manipulated in some way or another. This is fate. Even now, do you not realize you are being manipulated by Susano O. He let you take his energy in order to ruin my own plans. You have not even begun to see the changes wrought upon you. You are becoming a warmonger, someone who craves for violence. You haven't even realize his aura has burned away your female half."
Ranma grinned viciously and just gave her the middle finger. "I don't care about that shit. Stop yapping so I can kill you."
Amaterasu stood up. "Very well-"
"RANMA! DON'T GO!"
Ranma's eyes turned and the wild look in his eyes softened for second as he gazed at his fiancee.
"Goodbye...Akane."
And then he disappeared with Amaterasu.
The first thing Ranma noticed was it was dark.
As in pitch black.
Transferring some of the ki he was burning to his eyes, he could see pretty much a whole bunch of nothing. Nothing but a landscape of gray rock and a sky with stars.
The next thing he noticed was he was consuming much more ki than he should be. Lowering down his aura, he sudenly started panicking as air was sucked out of his lungs, his footing on the floor became loose, and ice started forming on his body. Ranma powered up his aura again and felt relief as stability returned. Where in the hell was he.
"Welcome Ranma Saotome, to the darkside of the moon."
Ranma glared up to see Amaterasu floating in the air.
"Before you ask, yes this is the actual moon. Tsukiyomi has allowed me to use the moon as a burial ground for those who oppose me. Feel honored to be the first human to be killed here. Now, here is the situation. I am not much of a fighter and would rather overwhelm opponents with power. I am now cut off from my divine connection and only have my personal power reserve which is lower than Susano O's own reserve. You on the other hand are rapidly consuming ki to keep alive in this environment. In 20 minutes the sun will hit this side of the moon and I will receive my divine connection and cleanse you. I will of course kill you before hand, but I might as well let you know-"
WHOOSH!
Amaterasu narrowly dodged to the right as a large rock sailed by her. Ranma glared up at her, not bothering to speak, and prepared another rock to throw at her.
"Very well. SHUN-EN!"
"MOKO TAKABISHA!"
