Then he had temporarily freed Mars, and despite the taint, she had seemed completely sincere at regaining herself with this current master.
Then...
Urd was beyond pissed.
One thing to seduce the boy, Urd actually approved of that though the whole age-manipulation thing seemed a bit odd.
What followed after was rape and torture and sentencing someone who had shown her kindness to death. By the time Mars was through, there would be nothing left of the kind boy who had been on his quest to free the genies.
That anyone doing that sort of thing gaining any more power was a side point.
As the current body of Ranma Saotome was controlled by someone who was evil, the bond with the Rings was relatively small again. And as had been in those Tolkein books, the Genie Rings would slip from the hands of those they did not wish to serve.
Urd knocked on the surface of the card. She had to tell Keiichi about this.
Fiore laughed within her head. Promising that he'd break her soon enough.
"His identity is dead," corrected Urd. "His body is possessed by Mars. His soul has been stripped of everything that made him Ranma. When released now, there will only be Ranko - an ifrit."
"There is hope yet," said Belldandy, checking other pathways with Skuld's assistance.
Keiichi signed his name at the bottom of the Summon Druid card they'd finally found, binding it to him. "Even if Mars can't utilize the ifrit, that still leaves the powers of Ice and Death at his command. Can we do this without all the Cards?"
Urd shook her head. "Kei, you're fourteen. You won't find, much less be able to access the full power of the cards, until you're sixteen at least. Eighteen is more likely. You're doing very well since the, err, problem, that got you started on this journey."
"You mean when I accidently captured my sister in a blank Card," Keiichi held up the Summon Megumi card. "It'll be an hour at least before I could challenge Mars. I can only activate a Summon Card for an hour before I have to turn it off for another hour and I want full power going up against genies."
Urd knew it wasn't Keiichi's fault and hated reminding him of his sister's plight. He'd made a Motorbike card with one blank card, and had been preparing a Door card when Megumi had gotten in the way. Now he had to gather all the Cards to have the power to unmake that card and free his sister for more than an hour at a time.

"Good idea," said Keiichi. "I'll do that while your cards are recharging."
"There is one hope for Ranma," said Belldandy, even as she turned transparent - indicating her hour was up and that she was being returned to her card. "And that is:"
