Nabiki was hurting while she laid in the ruins of Gniess's lab, the Twisted Peak, her vision was turning black even as she laid there. "So this is how it ends, by myself, no one around and because of a failed magic experement. Why did it go wrong?" She asked, not expecting an answer.
But she got one anyways, "Because magic, even the most controlled magics, are chaotic in nature. Technology can do what magic can, however it is order based, and the two forces don't usually get along, why do you think the people of Jade are suspitious of technology and the people of Earth are suspitious of magic?"
"Tsunami, knock it off, she needs help."
Tsunami turned to whoever spoke, Nabiki couldn't tell, for she was about to pass out. "I know that Sabbo. C'mon, let's get her to a clinic." And with that, Tsunami, one of the ten weaponsmasters, leader of the ninja clans and father of Armsmaster Julia Brigand-Diggers lifted Nabiki up and went over to where Sabbo was waiting. Nodding at the Hidden Emperor of Jade, Tsunami waited until he finished reading the gate-scroll that led to the nearest city. Both Tsunami and Sabbo knew the rumors of G'Nolga and Tsunami had been contacted by Bungee about the current situation. Normally the Council of Mages didn't involve the Weaponsmasters in thier affairs, but with the current situation the Council decided to inform the Weaponsmasters, just in case one of them saw G'Nolga. While G'Nolga was the most skilled of all of the Weaponsmasters, she would still be hard-pressed to defeat them.

Julia watched as the newly weds came back into the living room after cleaning themselves up. In a way she was happy for Tanya, the part of her that wasn't absolutely furious at her, that is, she just wished that she had gotten over her obsession with Stype sooner and didn't try to kill her family members.
Clearing her throat, Julia began, "In the past couple of days G'Nolga has been tracking you Tanya." Tanya gasped and started shivering, even as Ranma hugged her and held her close. Julia nodded, "Yes, it appears that bad, the council has requested various Edge Guard with mage support to try and stop her."
"What good would that do? G'Nolga's a monster in fighting, and absolutely ruthless! She won't be holding back anymore, she'll probably kill some people just to get to us." Tanya yelled and buried her face in her husband's chest crying. "This is all my fault, if I hadn't gotten in her way and if Ranma hadn't buried her, she wouldn't be hurting people right now."
Ranma frowned, "Knock it off Tanya, she's the one that's out of control, we'll beat her, don't worry."
"I hate to say it, but Tanya's right, there are going to be people hurt because of this, and some of them are good friends of mine. Fortunately the Council also informed the various Weaponsmasters to keep an eye out for G'Nolga, even if they can't beat her, they can slow her down long enough for others to take her down."
Ranma nodded, while still holding his wife. "I've got an idea that might work."
Julia raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
"Yeah, it was something I learnt about two years ago and I had the move used on me about three or four years ago."
"Go on, what was it?"
Ranma smirked a bit, "The Ultimate Weakness Moxibustion. If I push a pressure point in the middle of the back, with a piece of warm coal or something similar, it'll make a person as weak as a baby."
Julia blinked, that was something she had never heard of before, but one question was in her mind, "Why didn't you use it on her in your last fight?"
Ranma frowned, "I tried, but I couldn't get behind her long enough to use it."
Julia nodded, "I've never heard of such a technique before. Though it sounds like it'll work."
"It should, it was designed by monks on Earth to bring down even the most powerful martial artists. All it does it take away strength, not toughness or speed."
********
R-Sentinal (Ryoga-Sentinal) was crashing its way through the forest of the West Continent. Everything and anything was getting out of its way as it hollared its battle cry. "RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAA!! DDDDAAAAAAAAMMMMMMNNNN YYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU!" Eventually it came near a road and it picked up the first person that it could find.
The person, a werelepord was scared spitless as the giant and odd looking creature grabbed her. "WHERE IS SEEER'S HAMMLET?!?"
"I d-don't k-know! I-I've n-never been there before."
Sneering, as best a war-golem could, R-Sentinal tossed the werelepord away and continued on its treck towards Seer's Hamlet.
********
G'Nolga sneered, a path of wanton destruction left in her wake, "If this is the best that the Council can send up against me, they might as well just stay home." She smirked as she saw a bunch of bandits trying to intimidate her. Obviously they didn't know who she was, and she would have to 'teach' them the 'errors' of their ways. "So what do you want on your grave stone?"
Moments later. . .
G'Nolga smirked, 'Too easy, I'm surprised that someone can get a reputation for beating these weaklings up.'
********
Nabiki groaned as she started to wake up, hearing voices she decided to listen. A male voice that she had never heard was speaking, "I've healed her, it's a good thing she knows some magic or she'd be dead right now."
A second voice spoke, though Nabiki briefly thought she knew this one, "Yes it is a good thing, by the way, did you put that enchantment on her?"
The first voice spoke up, "Yep, the spell that I put her under will wear off in a day or two, but until then she can't lie about anything."
"Very good." A third voice spoke up. "She's a devious one, and would try to weasel her way out of this, though if she didn't do anything wrong, besides blow up the Twisted Peak, then she has nothing to worry about."
Nabiki sweated, 'Damn, this sucks, holding back information is my best ability.' She knew she was in trouble, when they asked what happened and found out her plot, she might as well had been doing crimes on Earth and got caught.
The second voice spoke up, "But if she is a mage, can't she just undo the spell, you did?"
"Nope, she may be a mage, but she's an apprentice, she'd have to be a master mage to undo this spell."
********
Jetta frowned a bit at the Diggers' home. Looking at Britanny she could only sigh, "Well, it seems this is the big one, you baby is ready to be born. Didn't anyone ever tell you stress is bad for children?" Before anyone could answer she continued, "It doesn't matter, get on that bed and I'll help you out.
