Now, she was Fiancee, the Dark Love goddess of the Sith; and she was alone in her personal chambers, brooding.
She had a loot of things to brood about, mainly the loss of the First Ranma that happened a couple of years before the Great Fall. Everything went downhill from there. First there were the Curse of Stillbirths, that made most of the brainwashed people recover and turn against them. Worse, it deprived them from Ranmas, and that caused their remaining fiancee forces to lose their will to fight. If they had their Ranmas they would had been able to resist, but the only thing they could do was to retreat with all their loyal survivors and hide until they were strong enough to strike back.
It took them three centuries to corrupt the Sith country, which was easier than they had thought thanks to many people who wanted the fabled power of the Fiancees for themselves. It was very easy to convert them, and this time they didn't made the same mistake that led them to their downfall, using magic to do the brainwashing. This time, they used the slower, but surer, method of the carrot and the stick.
Now they had an stable base of operations, but they still lacked the strenght to take over the world. The first time, they had been able to succeed due to the superhuman capabilities of most of their forces, but now the others had the same advantages than them.
They weren't able to create more capable troops due to the Curse of Stillbirth, but there was a small hope in that field. One of their newest pledges, Reza the Red Priestess, had come to them hoping for a cure of her blindness. As she had been born blind, no magic was able to grant her the gift of sight, so it was very easy to talk her into researching a way to bypass the limitations of the curse. Now, her Chimera Rebirth project was almost complete, only lacking a couple of field tests.
Sadly, their disadvantages at battle wasn't their only problem; they also had to deal with dissension amongst their own troops.
It was very hard to control the Army of Ranma's Fiancees without a Ranma. Nagas could create temporal Ranmas for a while, but most of the fiancees noticed the difference. Hopefully, if the Chimera Rebirth project was completed, it would supply them with what they needed, but the best solution would be finding the First Ranma... if the Cult of the Airen didn't find him first.
It was the group of people that she despised the most; she hated them even more than the group of sorceress that casted the Curse of Stillbirth. They were deserters of the ARF that believed that Ranma had abandoned them because they had considered him as a possesion, not as someone you loved. They believed that if they respected and protected the people they had opressed, Ranma would finally return to them.
She would deal with them when they were ready. Now she had to plan.
