Ranma stared at the strange woman and thought to himself; what in tarnation was someone dressed like that doing in his world? She was exceedingly tall for a woman; perhaps five foot nine, and had long white hair falling past her shoulders. Her attire suggested she had just come from some great battle as there were many lacerations and slashes criss-crossing her form-fitting leather and chain mail cuirass. Her skin was dark and smooth, but slick and oily with black blood that oozed from several deep cuts running up her arms and across her unprotected shoulders. Her eyes were closed and she seemed to merely be unconscious.
The crowd around her had become hushed, and Ranma and Akane jostled for position to try and see through the throng.
Finally getting a good vantage point over the head of a little old lady; they watched as the other side of the crowd parted wide like an amoeba, absorbing Dr. Tofu into it’s midst. He knelt beside the woman pulling a series of instruments from his handbag, checking her blood pressure, her heart rate, her breathing, then testing meticulously each and every one of her joints to see if anything had been broken. At the last he rose to his feet and pronounced to the assembled villagers that the woman was alright and had only sustained a minimal concussion in her fall and she should be coming ‘round any second.
Even as the good doctor was saying this; the strange woman stirred, first opening her eyes and then looking around her with an expression of what seemed like bewilderment and bordered on terror. Gingerly she rose to her knees and then leapt to her feet drawing a small dagger from somewhere inside her cuirass and brandishing it menacingly. Tofu; with a panic stricken look on his face leapt back as did most of the crowd. As it happened, Tofu; in an act of sheer clumsiness, stumbled over his doctor’s bag and was pitched face first onto the ground in front of the woman. She stood over him, dagger in hand; preparing to strike the final blow and end Tofu’s existence for ever. She poised for a moment, flashed a little smile at the crowd and swung the wickedly gleaming weapon down towards the quaking man’s chest.
