Years later, in a school for boys...
Ranma was shocked to find another boy like himself, who while superhuman had also found a way to hide it. Except in one case, when the bread was flying from the lunchlady in the all boy's school... all was fair in this battle. Which included the superspeed which the two of them possessed.
'Still, I'm faster. I always get to the bread before he does. He's a lot stronger then me and built like some kind of steel wall. Worse, he keeps getting lost on the way to school and his own house. He must have the worse sense of direction in the world.
Now he wants to get into a fight at the field behind his house. Which I have been waiting for the last three days to fight. I should have lead Ryoga Hibiki back here so we could fight.' thought Ranma as he tried to figure out if he could take Ryoga, as tired and hungry he was now.
Ranma had been training with the skills the monks had provided. He plotted it out in his head, 'My speed can help me dodge or phase through the attacks Ryoga's super strength can deliver. If I'm hit by one, I have some defense by why of the speed energy... but it's still going to hurt. The only things I can do to counter his steel skin is either a rain of super speed blows or the Infinity Punch. All of my mass at infinity speed which results in a massive force of doom. I think that Ryoga can absorb all of the force of that without breaking.'
As Ranma plotted and planned his moves, his eyes slowly dripped down. And soon he was sleeping, which was what Genma had been looking for. The boy and himself had a trip to China they would be starting, either when the boys fought or in this case, when Ranma fell asleep.
Ranma was picked up and taken to the beach which was waiting for the two of them, then they could swim the distance. Good training and no need for spending money when they didn't have to.
Hours after they had left, a boy in black and gold showed up in the field at close to mach speed. He was not happy with what he didn't find there. As he looked up into the sky, twin beams of heat shot out of his eyes into the sky. Then he began to look for they missing boy, looking directly in the direction Genma had gone, and instantly went in the opposite direction.
Later in a training ground full of pools...
Ranma was not sure how great a training ground this was, for him at least. Tall bamboo rods sticking out of pools, which meant that as soon as you fell you would be in a pool. The problems for Ranma was he could twist himself in the arm and sorta float down, he could hit the water running, or in laymen's terms... the pools were not likely to get him wet.
In other words, Genma was more likely to get wet this day then Ranma. Which was why Ranma was smiling as he effortly dodge all of Genma's attacks, not returning them just to get the old man's goat. Genma was about to strike with a crane kick from a poll, when Ranma dodge and the old man fell into a pool. The guide spoke and Ranma picked up the fact his father had fallen into the pool of the drowned panda.
Which was why Ranma should not have been surprised when a Panda popped up. Ranma instinctively backed up... while also instinctively kicking into superspeed, which was not a good idea. Especially in a valley with hundreds of pools which made all the grass wet, with loose earth and gravel which could give way over a pool. Speed is only your friend if you have a clear path to follow, not a wet obsticle course.
Which was how a master of speed slipped on grass at super speed and had the earth over a pool collapse beneath him. Which was how he was submerged under the water, bursting from the surface as he felt different. Looking down to his own gi, he noticed that two objects had appeared on his chest. Two round and firm objects which had his nipples on them. Feeling down, he found a innie where there should have been a outie, and he was not talking about his belly button.
He reacted like any man who had been turned into a woman... badly. He jumped from the pool and managed to spin around the pools, this time luck being on his side as he didn't fall into any other pools. The poor bastard in gold and black who had been pushed into a pool by a blur of red and white... he wasn't so luck as he popped out of the water a pig. Who was found by the tall buxom guide as she was looking for dinner.
"You don't get many good lunches looking after the Springs of Circe." said the Guide outloud, as Genma helped her to heat the water for the pig stew.
