Yes, he was the god of wars, but that didn't mean that he agreed with the Artemis' vision of warfare. She believed that the way of winning battles was through the personal abilities of each fighter, the same way that the hunting relied on the skills of the hunters... but Ares knew that even if skill could win small skimrishes, it wouldn't win in large battles. Of course, the fact that Artemis had managed to create this way the most skillful tribe of fighters on Earth annoyed him a lot.
Because that, when Ranma had spoken up his wish, Ares groaned with disappointment. As one of them had said, he had wasted a golden oportunity. Still, he kept his attention out of curiosity to see how his fellow gods handled the situation.
He almost cut off the clairvoyance spell when the chosen fiancee was 'engaged' to Ranma, but then he noticed another one.
And another. And another. And two more. And another one. And they still kept coming.
Surprised with this, he rechecked the situation. It seemed that more than half of the gods in ZEUS had granted the wish almost simultaneously. And Bacchus' multiple fiancee solution added even more to this mess. Heck, that boy had an army of fiancees going right now to the Tendo dojo to help him!
Then, he realized the possibilities that this situation brought to him. After all, he wanted one or more fiancees that would help him, right? And most of the 'older' fiancees only understood the language of the fists, right?
He had just to give those girls his blessings, and organize them into a real task force. He would even add to this army a couple of his favourite women in Tokyo to organize it with a bit of his help. He couldn't wait to see Artemis' face when she learned of this.
"Excuse me, is there a 'Ranma Saotome' here?"
The person who said this was a beautiful young woman, on her twenties, that wore a weird looking military outfit, with a pin with Ranma's portrait just above her heart.
Shampoo stared at the newcomer. "Who are you?" she demanded.
"I'm Captain Miroko Tokugawa, commanding the Army of Ranma's Fiancees. I won't ask it again, is there a 'Ranma Saotome' here?"
"Army... of Ranma's Fiancees?" Ukyo said, dazzled.
"Yes, he's right here. Do you want a cup of tea?" Kasumi said, ever helpful.
"HENTAI! You weren't satisfied with your current fiancees, so you just had to ask for an army of them, isn't it?" Akane snarled. "RANMA NO BAKA!"
Before she could mallet Ranma, a well aimed dictionary hit Akane's hand, forcing her to drop her hammer over her own head, and rendering her inconscious.
"Now, we won't have anything like that, won't we?" Asked Miroko, holding another heavy textbook. "Now leave Ranma be or else..."
"Or else what?" yelled Shampoo.
"Or else we will be forced to rescue him, and that won't be nice. The house is surrounded, if you didn't notice."
The girls...
