Being the punctual sort Prince Procrit was in the area fifteen minutes prior as he prepared, and showed promptly at 4:30pm.
With a loud "Poof" he teleported to the top of the dojo. "I am Prince Procrit of the Kingdom of Legend and... Great Caesar's Salad - why is there a circus here?"
Nabiki shrugged, her hands full of tickets, as if wondering that herself. "Bets? Private Bets. Public Bets. Yet Another Magical Prince Here To Kidnap Akane! Last chance to place your wagers on how long this guy lasts!"
"I'll put 5000yen that he lasts a full minute," yelled Hiroshi.
"I'll put 8000yen that he manages to kidnap Akane and last at least a day before Ranma catches him," Daisuke called out.
Prince Procrit looked at all this and sighed. This was hardly what he had in mind.
Wham!
Something impacting his Ghost Armor spell and knocking him off the roof of the dojo, out into the street, where he made a nice impact crater, certainly got his attention. "Huh?"
"Aw man, that guy was sure a wimp," said Ranma, retracting his fist.
Procrit teleported back to the dojo roof. "You attacked me in a dishonorable fashion. Why-"
Wham!
A large mallet pounded him through the dojo roof and into the floor below. "You know, this is beginning to get me riled."
"Honestly, what is it with these guys?" Akane grumbled.
"Chain Lightning."
A lightning bolt arced up from the inside of the dojo Zap! struck Akane Zap! arced to Ranma Zap! arced to Akane Zap! arced to Ranma Zap! arced to Akane Zap! arced to Ranma Zap! arced to Ryouga, who had wandered in Zap! arced to Genma Zap! arced to Nabiki Zap! arced to Soun Zap! and grounded itself on Mousse.
Several people with now frizzy hair and slightly blackened appearance fell over.
"I gotta learn that attack," mumbled Ranma.
"Ranma you idiot," said Akane through clenched teeth.
"This is all your fault, Ranma," indicated Ryouga.
"Why me?" complained Genma.
Nabiki was not available for comment, as she wasn't recovering as fast as the martial artist contingent.
Soun whimpered and wished that someone would put out the patch of hair that had ignited.
Mousse was glad that if he had to be paralyzed, at least he had fallen across Shampoo. He made sure he got some quality groping time in.
Nabiki recovered enough to promise that Mousse would pay for this.
Prince Procrit jumped back up to the roof. "Okay. That's it. I have come because I've heard the most beautiful and desirable woman in all of Japan is here, and when I arrive I find that nobody appreciates her and everyone dumps on her! Well, I'm taking her away from all that and all of you morons!"
Akane growled. She was going to be kidnapped again!
Mousse growled. He was here to kidnap Shampoo?!
Tatewaki Kuno drew a bokken. He would smite this knave who dared to kidnap his twin loves.
Kodachi frowned. On the one hand, this would give her Ranma-sama a chance to rescue her. On the other hand, this was most unseemly for a woman of her station.
Nabiki wondered why Mousse was cutting off her circulation like this and how long her electrically induced paralysis would last.
With a puff of smoke and a startled "oh my!" - Kasumi vanished.
"Now I bid you all farewell and good riddance," said Procrit, vanishing as well.
There came a few minutes of confusion as the paralysis wore off and everyone realized that Kasumi and the Prince were missing. The results of which were:
