Across the world, Jubilee began to think about the Goblin Queen.
“No.” stated Ranma in a matter of fact voice.
Sinister’s eyebrow rose, showing his peeked interest. “And why not?”
“She is unsuitable as a mate,” Ranma stated. “She attempted to sacrifice her offspring as part of a pact. She is unsuitable as a mate.”
“Ah, that,” stated the scientist. “I guess it would. Would another female interest you?”
“Possibly”
Sinister smirked. “Very well then… Send in Melfina.”
There was the sound of an opening door and into view walked a pale, waif like girl with long black hair.
“Yes...?” she asked, diverting her eyes from her creator.
“Ranma, is she acceptable?”
Ranma smiled. Yes, there was hidden power within her and she was in perfect health. She would do. “She is acceptable.”
“Very well. Melfina, you will mate with him.”
The girl looked down and nodded.
“Madelyine, come here.”
Jean Grey’s clone drunkenly started to walk forward until she reached the cell door.
“Step away from the shield, Ranma.”
He did so, and Sinister dropped the entrance shield. Melfina stepped into the cell, Madelyine stepped out. As soon as they were clear, it became active again.
“I hope you enjoy her. I look forward to the readings.” With out another word, Sinister and Madelyine left.
With a growing smile Ranma turned to his new mate. When he saw her face the smile vanished. He head was hung low, her hair shadowing her eyes and tears rolling down her face. No matter what modifications were done to him, deep down he was still Saotome Ranma, and if there was one thing Ranma couldn’t stand, it was seeing a girl cry.
“What’s wrong?”
Melfina looked up letting him see her eyes. They were sad eyes. They spoke of a person with no self-esteem, none of her own identity. “Why?”
Ranma blinked. “Don’t you… want to mate?” He didn’t understand. All the other girls seemed very excited.
Melfina sighed. “I don’t have a choice… and neither do you.”
Ranma blinked.
“He wants to study the process that allows you to change others. If we don’t mate then he will send another girl, and another until either he gets what he wants, he is forced to drug you, or he just extracts the DNA from you and does it himself.”
Ranma snarled. “That’s not right.”
“I wouldn’t know,” murmured Melfina. “It is all I know.”
“What?”
“He created me,” stated Melfina. “All I have ever known is serving Mister Sinister as an aid and test subject. Its... all I am.”
“Melfina, I’ll get you out of here. When I free myself, I’ll free you too.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
Melfina smiled and held out her hand, which Ranma took. It was small and delicate, much like the girl in front of him. The smile on her face beamed with something that had only moments ago seemed lost in her. Hope.
“Melfina?” asked Ranma.
“Yes?”
He slowly began walking to the bedroom. “Come on.”
