Three figures, a girl, a panda, and a fat man in a green outfit, approached the Village of Amazon Women. The two Amazons at the gate recognized the guide immediately; they were puzzled however at the panda with the signs and the young girl, holding what looked like a conversation.
“I’m soo hungry and tired,” complained a young looking silver haired girl.
‘Shut up boy. At least you aren’t carrying two packs.’
“Yah, but your cursed form isn’t a pathetically weak one like mine. I’m exhausted after walking for only a few hours.”
“Look sirs, this is rustic village of Amazon Women.”
As they entered the village their eyes locked onto one thing…
“Food!” Ranma exclaimed, as she ran as fast as she could to get there.
‘Not without me you don’t,’ Genma’s the sign said as he dashed to the heavily laden table and started eating.
They ate as fast as possible, without any consideration for neatness, while watching a match that was going on between a truly ugly woman and a cute girl with purple hair.
The ugly one dashed in for a strike and the cute one capitalized on an opening in the ugly ones guard, sending her flying backwards off the log.
“Man that girl has got some serious power,” Ranma stated with respect, while he watched the winner of the match go through some sort of ceremony.
Suddenly a bonbori hit the table, shattering the table, and sending wood chips and food flying.
Shampoo demanded an explanation, via the Guide’s translation: “why you eat my prize?”
“What prize?” Ranma responded in genuine confusion.
“This is a tournament that only happens once a year. You steal my prize after I have finally become champion.”
‘Go get her boy if you beat her she has no argument about us eating the food,’ Genma put on a sign as he shoved Ranma toward the challenge log.
“Pop you know as well as I do, that I can’t win in this form. I have no strength, no speed, and no endurance.”
‘You sound like a girl, go up there and kick her ass,’ Genma responded, and then he threw Ranma onto the log.
During the fight Ranma is knocked down on the log. Due to the stress of being in a dangerous situation without a way to fight back, her Reyvateil nature came to the fore. She suddenly sensed a prevalent energy field (aka the binary field). Instinctively she drew it in and formed it into a song magic. A thunder green magic shot out from Ranma. The ball of yellow lightning flies at Shampoo, who jumped over it. Unfortunately for Shampoo, the lightning hit a support that held one of the ropes for the battle log, destroying it in a shower of wood splinters. This changed the position the log enough that Shampoo didn’t land where she expected to, causing her to twist her ankle and fall off the log.
‘That’s my boy.’
“What the HELL did I just do?” Ranma said in shock, as she stared at her hands.
As she climbed down the log slowly, she noticed that she could still sense the binary field.
Murmurs went through the crowd, about the thunder ball, as Ranma is getting proclaimed the winner.
“What was that?”
“How is that possible?”
“What kind of chi attack was that?”
“I don’t think that was a chi attack.” Cologne stated thoughtfully. Her thoughts started racing as she considered what she just saw. She came to a conclusion: I will offer to make her an ally of the tribe if she teaches us that technique. We can give her the incentive that it would protect her from retribution.
Her decision made, Cologne approached Ranma, but Shampoo interrupted her plans by giving the kiss of death to Ranma.
“Oh no young sir you just get kiss of death. Which is oath to track down and Kill. Run, sirs!”
Ranma is grabbed by both arms by the guide and his father, and she is dragged out of the village.
Angered at her for foiling her plans, Cologne turned to Shampoo and stated in a public manner, for all to hear: “you fool! You just made it so that our tribe wouldn’t be able to learn, or learn to counter that lightning technique. A technique like that might have been a great benefit to the tribe. Not to mention this loss is entirely your own fault. She never hit you. You misjudged your landing.”
“No matter loss is loss and must be avenged.” Shampoo declared as she left to pack for her trip.
