"So, how are you feeling?
"I'm fine, but may I ask, how is it that you're speaking without moving your lips?"
The voice seemed to chuckle. "Yes, I suppose that's a good question. Years ago I had gotten into a conflict with a pack of wolves and they shredded my throat, making normal speech impossible for me, so now I use telepathy to 'speak' with people. Any other questions?"
"Um, yeah, who are you two?" Nabiki asked while looking at the man in the ninja garb and the tubby man with the coco nuts in his hands.
"I am Tsunami, one of the ten Weaponsmasters of Jade, Leader of the Ninja Clans, and father to the Armsmaster Julia Brigand-Diggers." He said the last part with a bit of pride.
The fat man spoke up next. "I am Sabbo, the Hidden Emperor of Jade age 49."
Nabiki's eyes widened, "Oh no, a Kuno-baby, Principle Kuno, and Genma mix."
Sabbo looked a bit put off. "Do not compare me to that macadamian nut, his whelp or that fat bastard."
"Great, he's also got daddy's 'noble samurai' pride. Wait a minute, you know of those Nerimain nutcases?"
Sabbo smirked, "I didn't even pay attention to Nerima until word had gotten to me about a young man that had defeated a partial dragon, a hydra-dragon, and a phoenix, the last one by the way, was one of the only creatures that never migrated to Jade during the great crossing over period. So it was then that I took an interest in Nerima."
"Any other questions?"
"Um, nope I don't think so."
"Good, because we have some questions of our own."
Nabiki gulped, this is what she was dreading.
"First off, why were you at Twisted Peak?"
"I'm a student of Master Gniess."
Tsunami and Sabbo nodded their heads, at least she wasn't a thief. "Second question: How did the Twisted Peak blow up this time?"
"Um, I was fixing up Master Gniess's War Golem for a plan of mine and it went out of control." Nabiki hated this, she couldn't lie, and those two looked a lot more competent than the idiots back home.
"And what plan was this?" Tsunami narrowed his eyes a bit, he was wondering why there were no ruby shards or a giant sentinel around in the rubble.
"I don't want to say it, but to get revenge on someone who slighted myself and my family."
"Who did you want to hurt?" Sabbo asked, though he had a pretty good idea.
Nabiki winced, she really wished she could hold back information or lie right now, hey wait a minute. She smirked a bit. "Someone who lives on the other continent."
"Where do they live?"
"In Seer's Hamlet."
"Who is it?"
Nabiki just wanted to disappear. "Ranma. Ranma Saotome."
"Why?"
Nabiki snapped her eyes up, hate practically glowing in them. "He turned my family's world upside down, he caused so much pain to my family. If he never came, none of that chaos would've happened. I want him to suffer as much as my family did. God, I hope Ryoga hurts him so that he can't fight anymore."
"Now I don't believe that."
"What?"
Sabbo nodded, "Sure, he turned your orderly world upside down, but think of all the good that he did. He saved you from that Chardain marriage, he kept Happosai in check, warded off Taro when he came by, saved you and your sisters from that Toma fellow, as well as saved Akane from Kirin, your half-sisters, and Saffron."
"I don't care, I hate him, I want him to suffer. DO YOU HEAR ME? HE SHOULD SUFFER!!" She would've kept ranting but Tsunami pushed her instant uncoinscious point.
"Well, that settles that. After this business with G'Nolga is finished, we'll hand her over to the Council and let them decide."
"Oh well, I had hoped that she just didn't think things through."
"Who said she wasn't?
Sabbo shook his head. "Say Tsunami, how long will that last?"
"I hit a few more points on her body, it should put her in a coma-like sleep until I release her."
Sabbo nodded, "Good, I'll go and tell the healer to not move her until we or a council member comes to pick her up. Say Tsunami, want to go to the tavern and get a few drinks?"
"No, we should be heading for Seer's Hamlet. I want to help my daughter out after all."
"What about that Ranma kid? You trained him for a month didn't you?"
Tsunami smirked a bit, "Yeah I did. He's got great potential. I'll pick up his training after his honeymoon is over and this mess with G'Nolga is finished."
Sabbo nodded and left.
Meanwhile. . . .
