Besides. It would be best to get the child, and the unknown werecat out of harms way. He could always return later and deal with the final rites of the dead; it wasn't like they were going anywhere.
That decided, Theo turned to Ranma, "Are you ready?" he asked seriously, already gathering energy into his aura from the Ethereal Stream.
"Huh?" Ranma blinked, wondering what the hell this guy was doing. "Uh... yeah.. if you move, we can get goin." he finished irritably. Leave it to blondie to hog up the doorway. "Move it already blondIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE"
All he saw was a flash of white light before a sense of nothingness overcame him.

Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Almost got it!" Agent M whispered reverently as he manipulated his joystick.
BeepBeepBeepBeep
Agent M grunted, pulling and pushing on the stick as the pace quickened. "I won't give up!" he nearly shouted, his voice strained to the Brink as the tension picked up.
BeepBeepBeepBeepBeep Dudududoo. "You Lose." the words came up on his computer screen.
"Crap!" he threw his joystick across the room, "Stupid Pong!" he grumbled, pushing away from the console. "Damn Atari and its evil ways!"
Agent M sighed miserably. Agency Zero dealt with many things. From extraterrestrials to more mundane things, such as deciding whether or not certain pieces of technology were 'okay' for the general populace to get their hands on.
Atari Inc. was another FBI dummy corporation in the midst of getting set up, just another way for the government to milk tax payers of their hard earned cash. The fact the money went to protecting their general fragile out look of life didn't really matter.
Picking up his evaluation report, Agent M quickly checked off his assessment. 'Delay until further notice.'. He really didn't think the hippies could deal with such technology too soon. 1967 wasn't ready for the technological advancement that is Pong! Hell, they were still having a hard time accepting the whole Roswell incident. Not that he could blame them, considering how screwed up THAT situation turned out. Where they thought aliens had landed was in reality J. Edgar Hoover returning to his mother ship, to return to the cosmos and beyond. Of course, once people started talking about it he had to get involved. Pfeh, best he could come up with on such short notice was a conspiracy theory, which the populace ate up greedily. Oh well.
J. Edgar Hoover came from a race of clones. They all LOOKED like Hoover, which in and of itself was a scary thought. Still, Agent M really wished they wouldn't 'rotate' the current Hoover out every five months. Oh well, it didn't matter anymore.
Moving on to another report, Agent M only got to read a few brief paragraphs by Captain Blizzard concerning a race known as 'The Zerg' that he found in his basement. Something about murderous beings bent on destroying the world for their Overmind, but they fell short when Captain Blizzard accidentally stepped on - and killed - said Overmind. The Zerg, being a type of barbarian society, decided to call Captain Blizzard their new ruler and he has sense moved to the tropics to raise an army of Zerg for the eventually bombardment of Mexico.
"Boring." he thought irritable.
Anyway, he only got to read a few paragraphs before the tell tale flash of a teleportation spell went off behind him. "Ah, must be Theo returning from that little Were-wolf/Cheetah thing."
Turning around Agent M was about to give his traditional "Hello, welcome back." greeting when he stopped cold at the sight. Something he had never SEEN before stood before him. Tall, mean looking, with vicious killer claws and whoever it was didn't look very happy. Sparring Theodore a brief Glance, Agent M had to resist the urge to fall off his chair in shock. Theo was scratching the back of his head nervously, looking at Agent M apologetically.
"Eh.. I guess I should explain.." Theo started off nervously..
"Please do.." he retorted dryly.
