Nodoka Saotome, one of the last of the werecheetah clan, had an affair, with another were shortly before she was married. That were was killed shortly after the affair do to the internal politics of that clan of were-creatures. That were was one of the most rare were-creatures known to exist, so rare that only a few speculate about its existance, and even fewer know that it is not a myth. That were creature was a ________.
When Nodoka concieved its child, there were some odd effects. Ranma (who had been locked by magic into his human form for his protection) would be able to change into any combination of the two were-creatures (i.e. able to change into the 3 forms of a werecheetah, the 3 forms of the other were, a combination of the hybid forms, and a combination of the fully animal forms) after the lock was removed or broken, if that ever happened.
After the wedding disaster, Ranma was depressed because everyone thought of him as a prize to be won, but using an acting ability no one would have thought him capable of, he hid that depression.
One year after the bombed wedding, nothing had gotten better, in fact it had gotten worse. Akane would mallet him rather than look at him, Shampoo was getting desperate, and therefore so was Mousse. Ryoga was trying harder than ever to kill him for hurting sweet 'Akane-san.' Ukyou kept alternating between wanting to kill him and marry because he told her that he thought of her as a sister. The Kunou's had become worse than ever, and to top it all off, he had just recieved word that Saffron was up and about again, more powerful than before, and wanting revenge.
Due to all the stress he was going through, it was no wonder he exploded when Saffron arrived and attacked. Depressed as he was, he just wanted to die, but something kept him from just letting himself die. It probably had something to do with the fact that Saffron said something about killing off all the landlings after he got his revenge.
As Ranma fought, he was nearing the end of his limit, wanting to end it all, but also wanting to save the innocents, so it was no wonder that all the strain finally broke the lock keeping him from accessing his heritage, and he shifted forms.
****
A.N. You can go into the details of the fight scene if you want, but I'm no good at that, and if you can think of any good way to do so, please integrate his past and heritage in flashbacks, I mainly wanted to get this idea off my chest.
