And he really, really wished that his power to fulfill his wishes hadn't been stripped from him just when he needed it most.
With an 'eep' the race was off in typical Neriman wackiness and confusion.
Unfortunately for Ranma the stripping of the great will wasn't the end of his problems today. For the removal of it had been so rushed that the spell to send it to its rightful owner had not been given enough power and so it fizzled out while still in Nerima.
To the magically gifted it would have been quite a sight to witness as the great will magic seed plummeted back to earth and crashed down right on top of a certain amazon male. The ensuing magical explosion turned trees into ducks, hydrants into anvils, cars into toilet seats, and so on went the chaos.
And, typical of someone who has been around Ranma for any significant period of time, naturally Mousse knew of only one person that could possibly be to blame for his life going insane. "Ranma! This is all your fault! Aargh!! I wish you had never fought Shampoo and beaten her!"
Elsewhere, Ranma fell over suddenly during his high speed retreat. His body convulsed then in a bright flash it changed to his female form without the aid of water.
The results of Mousse's wish..
Ranma really wished that the food had been for the public. He also really wished that he could get some hot water soon, but if he had to fight a girl he supposed it would be fairer to do so while he was weakened too. He was just about to challenge the girl for the prize when her apparent boyfriend arrived on the scene and started attacking. Ranma figured that if this guy was the girl's boyfriend then she would have to forfeit the food if he beat him up same as if he had beaten her personally. Besides, this way he wouldn't have to fight some weak girl.
It was actually simple to beat the guy. What surprised Ranma was the wide smile on the face of the guy's girlfriend. Ranma shrugged it off though, pop had always said that the gaijin were crazy and this just proved it.
Ranma was about to get back to eating the food that was rightfully now his, when he was distracted by the sight of a little old woman's arrival and her subsequent rousing of the unconscious guy. What followed was a stream of gibberish that made him really wish he knew their language. The smile on the apparrent girlfriend's face had grown if that had been possible. Finally the guy seemed to slump his shoulders in defeat then head over to Ranma.
Ranma figured that the guy musta been a sore loser and that the old ghoul of a woman had chastised the guy into congratulating him for his victory. Therefore Ranma was completely unprepared for when the guy grabbed hold of him and kissed his cursed girl form on the lips and slipped his tongue inside.
Naturally Ranma and Genma had taken for the hills when their guide explained that Ranma had just been given the kiss of marriage.
What followed was a chase throughout China and into Nerima, Japan that would have been familiar to most witnesses of the original thread of life.
This time when Cologne came to Nerima and used the cat's tongue she did so to force Ranma to join her tribe and make it stronger.. and this time she felt there was no reason to have an antidote available. Ranma had been 'Ranko' ever since that day.
