Akane Tendo was running for her life. Thanks to some poor thinking on the part of her father, she was now seen as the main competition for the hand of Ranma Bogard, winner of the Millionaire Fight. Three women who want Ranma's hand (and other body parts) aren't going to stand for even more competition, and at least one of them is quite willing to make sure Akane never becomes a threat again.
Behind her was Makoto, the Karate expert. At first Akane was stunned how much Makoto looked like a short haired version of herself... but that was put aside to make way for keeping herself intact. Makoto was like a machine - Akane was athletic and not slow on her feet, but Makoto never seemed to get any further away.
Out of the corner of her eyes, Akane caught a glimpse of her second pursuer, the Ninja Ibuki. Ibuki had yet to speak a word, but her actions spoke loud enough. Akane barely managed to dodge another thrown kunai, and wondered just how many of those things Ibuki was carrying.
Akane couldn't see her last problem, the pirate Bonne Janet. She'd just seem to appear in front of her and launch an attack. Like she just did...
"Many, Many Torpedoes!!"
Akane screamed and dodged away from Janet's DM. Fortunately, the pirate caught both Makoto and Ibuki in the attack, so all three were confused for a moment. Akane took that opportunity to run.
Moments later, Akane was panting beside a fence. Hopefully, those girls wouldn't find her.
As Akane caught her breath, she reflected that this was all her stupid father's fault. He wouldn't teach her to fight, he forbid her from learning from anyone else, and he got her into this mess by declaring her the fiancee of Ranma Bogard on international television. She only ever met Ranma once! And he already had a girlfriend!
If she died, she decided she would haunt her father for the rest of his life.
A hand coming to rest on her shoulder startled her, causing her to scream. "AAAAIIIIIEEEE!!"
Turning, she found herself faced with, not one of her pursuers, but a boy around her age. He wore green trousers, a khaki tunic, and had a yellow and black bandanna keeping his black hair out of his eyes. She also saw that he had an enormous backpack strapped to him. He was also chuckling nervously. "Aheheh... sorry 'bout that. I was just wondering if you could tell me where I am? I seem to be lost..."
Akane calmed down, and was about to answer when she felt a massive pain in the back of her head, and then nothing.
Ryoga blinked as a girl in a karate gi knocked out the one he was talking to. "Hey, I was talking to her!"
Makoto snorted. "She and I have some business to finish, first. Don't worry... she'll probably be able to talk again in a couple months..."
Makoto was about to land another blow on the unconscious Akane when Ryoga grabbed her hand. "Hey, she can't fight back. This isn't right."
Makoto snarled. "This isn't any of your concern!" Her other fist rocketed toward the boy's chest.
Makoto thought she had just punched a steel beam! Ryoga then reacted by tossing Makoto away... far away.
Ibuki, who had been watching, choose that moment to strike herself. Ryoga barely noticed her when he struck her away with a backhand. Ibuki dropped like a rock.
Janet was ever one that believed in discretion being the better part of valor, ran off.
Ryoga looked at the girl those others had been attacking. She was kinda cute, but what was all that about? Well, he'd better get her to a hospital or clinic...
So Ryoga picked up Akane... and proceeded to get them both horribly lost...
