Soun nodded up at the big demon. "Yes, so can you do it?"
"tHE hUMAN rACE hAS eVER bEEN sTUPID aND sHORTSIGHTED," mused the demon. "I dO tHE uNIVERSE a fAVOR bY eLIMINATING iT."
"So go ahead, make with the 'hocus pocus' already," demanded Genma.
"hOW cAN I pUT tHIS sO eVEN a hUMAN cAN uNDERSTAND? hOW aBOUT - 'nO'!" The demon tried.
"We freed you, therefore we demand you do as we say!" Soun demanded.
"I tHINK I wILL dO tHIS jUST tO aNNOY yOU," said the demon brightly. He snapped his fingers and power poured forth from him like a river. TV cameras popped into being all around him.
"Bwak?!" Genma asked just before a pole was rammed through his butt to emerge out his mouth.
The demon, now looking like a circus ringmaster except that they normally didn't have molten pits for eyes or sharp pointy teeth, smiled. "This is how I grant your demands. Ranma Saotome will never marry Akane Tendo. If he tries, my spell goes off and not only you two will die, but all life on this planet will perish within three days of their nuptials. I'm a Lord of Hell, and I can do it too. These two fine fellows opened my prison, dooming all of you, out of greed - the desire for control - and abject stupidity. Having proven that your race is absolutely unfit to exist I now have set up a little test."
Buildings and surroundings began to morph. The still living Genma and Soun became a panda and a turtle on a merry-go-round.
"Somewhere in this carnival is a prize. Win or find the prize, and you will have a chance to figure out my name. If you call my name three times, I will hear and relent. Otherwise, Armaggedon occurs on next Monday."
The demon gestured and the camera panned over the bright spectacle of the carnival. "Those who lose, well, I've had millenia to think of creative ways of dealing with you, and I've read an awful lot of your own species attempts at cleverness."
