Staring at his son, Genma couldn't understand why his worthless boy looked like some sort of cat-man. "Did the boy finally master the Neko-Ken with that last blow?" Genma wondered idlely."
"Well, that's new..." Ranma muttered. Flexing his arms he felt that they really did feel new. "Let's see, arms feel good..." Shaking his legs, "Legs feel okay too..." Ranma however, got a weird look on his face as he felt another appendage move above his butt. "I... Have... A... TAIL!?" Ranma asked in shocked. Looking over at the Jusenkyo Guide, he asked, "What spring did I fall into!?"
Cringing, the Jusenkyo Guide knew he should have run like hell instead of standing around waiting for a tip like an idiot. "Honorable sir fall in Waruchitahnichuuan. Spring of Drowned Werecheetah. Very tragic story of werecheetah that drowned 16 year ago. He decide to go for swim to cool down, then realize he no good at swimming."
Ranma's left ear twitched. "HOW THE HELL DO I CHANGE BACK!?" He was starting to get nervous. Cheetahs were a type of cat and it made him feel nervous now that he was a cat.
"No worry honorable sir. Get out of Spring and I show you." The Guide said as he ran back into his hut.
Stepping out of the Spring of Drowned Werecheetah, Ranma stood by his father. He unsheathed his claws and said, "Pops, if I'm stuck like this, I'm going to see how strong these are..." He smiled as he saw a yellow-tinted moisture drip down the white fur of the Panda's legs.
After a moment, the Jusenkyo Tour Guide came out with a tea kettle. He poured some of it's contents on Genma, turning him back into a person. "I'M CURED!"
"Curse it water activated. Hot water turn back to normal, but cxold water turn you back to Panda." The Jusenkyo Tour Guide explained.
"Oh. You mean that was long as I stay away from cold water, I will remain human, and if I should get turned back into a panda with cold water, hot water will change me back." Genam asked, amking sure he got this clear.
"Yes, that what I saying." The Jusenkyo Guide said. He then poured the hot water on Ranma... And Ranma was still a werecheetah. "Odd. Young sir should be turning back to human." The Jusenkyo Guide poured more hot water on him, but to no avail. "Hmm... Perhaps since werecheetah magical being, magic of wereperson mix with that of spring and make Young Sir into werecheetah permanently..."
Ranma sputtered for a moment, until he finally got out, "WHAT!?"
As Genma heard Ranma growl, he realized he should probably be heading out of there now...
(------)
On the other side of the globe, it is currently nighttime in the suburb of Decatur in Atlanta, Georgia. In the Diggers Mansion, we see a teenaged girl named Britanny Diggers laying on her bed, yet she is wide-awake. This would be a normal scenario for most family's and households, except for one minor detail. This 16-year-old girl is a Lycanthrope... Specifically...
"Werecheetah..." Britanny muttered It was the name of her species. And while it normally saddened her to think she was the last, tonight for some reason, it felt unbearable. She sat up on her bed and thought. She didn't like the idea that she was the last of her kind, yet that's how it was...
"Even so, I wish I could find someone that would understand." She can't really talk to her mother, because of what her grandfather Jonathan did when he changed into a Lich. And it's no use tlaking to Gina. Her older sister is 17, and already working on getting her 3rd PhD.
And sure, Britanny has tried to get boyfriend before, but her father's power of illusion had scared all of them off. "Stupid flaming skull..." Britanny said.
Suddenly, Britanny got a chill of goosebumps up her back, one so strong it made her shift forms involuntarilly, shifting from human into her hybrid form. "Great... Now I won't be able to shift again fot another 24 hours..." Though she had had to admit, that shiver felt good...
Realizing that sleep would not come easilly, (and that it wasn't a school night) Britanny got out of bed. She went down the hall and down the stairs. Walking into the living room, Britanny sat on the couch and fished for the remote between the cushions. Finding it, she turned the TV on, bathing the room in a pale light from the television set. She flipped channels for awhile. And then she saw it. "DAD! COME QUICK! PLEASE HURRY!"
In a bright flash of light, her father, Dr. Theodore Diggers appeared. "What's wrong dear? Are you all right?"
"Dad!" Britanny said, "The TV!"
Wondering what has Britanny so excited, Theo turned his head to the television...
And his jaw dropped.
"Another werecheetah..." Theo said as he watched the broadcast. It was a footage from Chinese News Show that showed a male werecheetah chasing a large panda through a valley near the Bayankala Mountain Range in China...
