Gina sighed from the living room as she listened to yet another round of arguing between Brianna and Britanny.
"No, I am not letting you use my Peebos to blow Tanya up."
"Why not, she deserves it."
"I agree with you on that, but I'm still not letting you."
"Tell me why not?"
"Do you really want someone who can fight mom to a draw to get angry at you?"
'That always ends the arguement.' Gina thought, though privately she wanted to go and hurt Tanya as well. Hearing someone walk into the room she turned and saw Seance, who had just returned from visiting his parents late last night. "Hey how are you doing?"
Smiling slightly, "I'm fine Gina, do you know where your mom or dad is?"
"I think they're outside right now. Why do you want to know?"
"I just have some news to pass on to them."
Gina nodded, "Alright, if it's important I'll find out anyways."
Seance smiled a bit more and was going outside when he saw Brianna, with a box full of weapons being followed by Britanny, who was asking if she could borrow some to attack someone. Turning to Gina he had to ask, "Is there something I should know?"
Gina sighed, "Apparently Tanya's gotten out of Sactuary and is on parole, and she's now married and Brit wants to hurt her for what she tried to do to Strype and her baby."
"Oh really, well that's interesting. Who'd she get married to?"
"Some guy named Ranma."
"Oh." Seance was careful to keep recognition out of his voice and off his face. 'That's the guy that was disturbing the peace yesterday.' "So, how's the rest of the family taking this?"
Gina sighed again, "I don't like the fact that she's free, neither does Brianna, I don't need to say how Brit's feeling. Mom's giving Tanya a chance to redeem herself, dad pities her, and Strype feels sorry for her, and because of that, he's sleeping on the couch tonight."
Seance shook his head, "Poor Strype, well, better him than me. I'll be seeing you."
Seance left the living room, ignoring the yelling that the two sisters were doing and went outside and spotted Julia and Theo tending to some flowers. "Mrs. Diggers, Dr. Diggers, hello!" Seance called out in greeting.
Theo looked up and smiled at seeing his student, "Good morning Seance, how are you today?"
"Pretty good actually, I've got some news from Jade you might be interested in."
"Oh, what is it?" Julia was definately interested, usually news that came to her was the result of a fight of some sort.
"Apparently the bounty hunter and mercenary Ryoga Hibiki attacked someone named Ranma Saotome yesterday and both have been put in lock-up. Mr. Saotome should be out of prison by now since he was mearly defending himself."
Julia groaned, slapping herself in the forehead she couldn't believe this. "And here I thought Tanya's husband was actually a decent person."
"You mean you don't know dear?"
Julia looked at Theo, "What do you mean?"
"Mr. Saotome is actually a pretty popular person in the retreat, about four months ago he took care of some of the bandit gangs that were plagueing the area and got everyone's stuff back that had been stolen by them. He's been given the nick-name of Bandit Phantom, because those bandits that were in jail said they never saw him coming, nor did they feel him at all."
Julia blinked when she heard that, "Oh so that's who the Phantom is. It makes sense since he was capable of becoming invisible during our fight."
Seance looked at Julia, "You fought him Mrs. Diggers?"
Julia nodded, "Yep, we fought to a draw, only holding back killing and crippling strikes, of course I didn't go full out, and I think he held a few things back as well. But anyways, I still don't know how he did that thing with the pine needles."
"Pine needles?"
Julia smirked and nodded, "Yep, pine needles, somehow he was able to turn pine needles into small throwing knives, and he did all his tricks, including his invisiblity trick without using the Etheral Stream."
Theo shook his head, "I still say that's impossible to do what he did unless he was using magic."
"I asked him about it, all he did was wink and say 'Now that. . . is a secret.' God I wanted to smack him for that."
Seance chuckled, he could just imagine what Julia's face was like.
Meanwhile. . .
