The members of the NWC stood frozen as Dragon-Ranma turned his gaze on them. of those present only Happosi, Cologne, and Nodaka had a understanding of what was going on and then only Nodaka knew the complete truth.
Ranma was also facing an internal battle with the release of his were-demon heritage dramatic changes were occurring. Emotions that Ranma normally suppressed were suddenly easy to feel. His healing abilities repaired the damage done by the training trip and changed his body to express his heritage.
The Neko-Ken, being a form of demonic possession, was confronted with the fact that it had tortured one of its own and more importantly that this was a dragon demon which was a hell of a lot more powerful than him. So in return for getting away freely all of the innate abilities of the Neko-Ken were grafted to Ranma’s were-cheetah form.
Ranma with his anger being enhanced by his demonic nature gazed at the foolish bugs that had tortured him for so long. These fools had continued to hound him even after all that he had done to help. Know that Saffron had brought his power forth he would crush these fools.
A low growl was the first signal of trouble for the NWC as the golden eyes flared with power and black and white lightning crawled along Ranma’s scales. Speaking out with his mind voice a single, terrible message was delivered. “ Though I have done everything in my power to aide you and make amends for my fat fathers foolish mistakes in the past you have continually pursued me as a prize to be claimed. For this you have been judged and found wanting your punishment death.”
Energy was gathering for the attack that would end the collective lives of the NWC when a single voice cut through the screams of terror and the sound of the flames. “ Ranma if you do this you will become a demon in truth you can I am not saying that you don’t deserve vengeance but it needs to be of a different kind. Leave them to face the consequences of their own actions. That will be vengeance enough.”
As he heard his mothers words another internal battle took place as his demonic desire for bloody revenge fought with the need to prove he still retained his humanity to his mother time seemed to slow as energy still built in Ranma’s jaws. Then Ranma’s coloring changed the golden glowing eyes changed to a deep blue-gray like the sky before a storm his scales faded to metallic silver that retained a crystalline quality. His wings feathers also turned silver but they were edged with gold and the seal floating over his back grew smaller and faded into the dragons back.
The demonic dragon now seemed very different. His form no longer screamed WEEP THE END IS NIGH now it reflected the nobility and confidant power that his race was known for. Slowly settling down and shifting to his human form the members of the “crew” still awake saw a very different person. Ranma now stood at a good 6’1” his body though lean was covered in dense muscle that his skin glided over. His eyes were now storm gray with a hint of blue in it. And for a final change his hair was now slightly spiky reached down to his lower back and was a shocking metallic silver except for a piece which fell over his right eye which was blond with black spots.
Looking over to Nodaka he said “ Mom we need to talk.”
