Meanwhile in his lab on the other side of the complex, Jonathan Diggers was working hard at his latest expirement. It was a problem that only those with the strongest minds could ever hope to accomplish successfully. "Almost got it. Just a little more, just a little more, oh don't fail on me, come on, come on, come on." Suddenly the older man in the red mage suit reared his head back and started to rub his nose. "Ah, ah, ah, ahhhh-CHOOOO!!!" He threw his head forward and smacked his head into what he was working on.
"Oh dammit!" The middle-aged mage cursed as he saw the wooden blocks fly all over. "At this rate I'll NEVER master Jenga!" As he stood up, Jonathan's eyes widened as he saw that one of the blocks had settled a little to cloesly to an expirement that he was working on. "NOOO!" He quickly focused his Ethereal energies and attempted to levetate the little block away from from his expirement, but it was too late as the little block fell into the mix.
The bearded man grimaced. "This... May not be good."
*BOOM!*
A HUGE explosion of magical fire engulfed the entire eastern wing of the mansion in a collum of destructive energies.
Most of the people ignored it though... They were used to incredible explosions around this place.
In the master bedroom Theo and Julia both frowned lightly in their sleep, stopped thinking about it and went back to sleep. After all, it wasn't the first time that Ranma was up late practicing and blew something up that caused a lot of noise. Especially since about a year ago the boy had gone to the store for Britanny to get her some tuna, had to thwart not one, not two, but four seperate armed robberies. The last one was of an airplane owned by a guy named Koss, and while Ranma had saved the tuna, (and the man) the plane had crashed into an oil trucker near the mansion which caused a huge explosion.
In his room, Ranma slept through the explosion... It didn't concern him, so he wasn't worried.
The explosion did wake Gina and Britanny up though... But it only made them hungry. So getting out of bed the two ran to the kitchen... Only to stop as they stared wide-eyed at the Skeleton walking their way PAINFULLY slow, making the already scary creature even more horrifying. Britanny ran to her daddy while Gina ran to her parents to warn them.
(----)
"Mommy?"
"Yes pumpkin?"
"There's a scary monster in the house."
"GRR! DAMMIT RANMA! I'VE TOLD YOU TO QUIT.." Julia, dressed only in her skivvies, quit yelling as she saw for the first time something that came straight from hell... A creature who was tall, wearing her father-in-law's mage suit, glowing with a demonic red aura. It's eyes burned like hellfire and whenever it opened it's mouth the creature seemed to be readying a fireball from it's mouth. The aura cast shadows that made him look even more terrifying, if that was possible.
"THEO WAKE UP!" She yelled while kicking him, tossing the covers off and grabbing her sword (you don't want to know where she hides it), and placing Gina behind her, all in one swift motion.
"Huh?" The man shook his head and paled as he looked at the skeleton with the LARGEST aura he had ever felt. 'Oh shit.' He thought to himself.
The creature chuckled while his eyes and aura burned ever brighter, making him look like the incarnation of Satan himself. "You may have been right Julia, but I am NOT Ranma."
The creature which would be known as the Lich King raised a hand back full of red energies that looked like he was holding the primordial flame of life itself and...
(----)
A few moments earlier...
"Daddy?"
"Ngh... Wha? Wha's wron Britny?"
"There's a scary monster in Auntie Julie and Unca Theo's room."
Ranma blinked a few times as he sat up in his bed. He had to run that through his head a couple more times before he was wide awake. "Say what?"
Britanny nodded her little head. "Uh huh. I saw him walking this way and he went past the room."
"Okay, you stay here, I'm going to go and stop him okay?"
Britanny nodded again and jumped under the the bed.
Hey, if you were a five-year-old girl and a Skeleton was walking around, you'd hide under the bed too!
Ranma growled and shifted to his hybrid form. 'Dammit! Who's attacking now?!' He ran out into the hallway and to the master bedroom to stop as a creature with a crackling red aura, wearing a red mage suit raised a hand back full of red energies that looked like he was holding the primordial flame of life itself and prepared to fire a blast of magic at the family he was staying with.
Ranma growled, ran behind the creature, grabbed it's skull and started slamming the thing into the ground over and over and over. One thing that Ranma had found out about both Ki and Magic was the fact that a person had to be able to concentrate to use it or it was useless, no matter how good you were. Of course, Ranma knew that a fully powered Aura mage could recover from his or her surprise in only a few moments and fight back fully. After all, he had seen Theo and Jonathan get into an occasional magic battle with some rogue mage on Jade in the past three years.
Ranma shook his head out of those memories as he slammed the creature into the ground, even now he could feel the aura starting to focus again. "BLONDIE! DO SOMETHING! THIS THING'S ABOUT TO GET FREE IF YOU DON'T!"
Theo nodded and concentrated on opening a dimensional door spell, one that would lead to the Undead Realm... Hopefully his father would remain there for a long time. A couple moments later Theo completed his spell and opened a portal right behind Ranma. "NOW! TOSS HIM IN!"
Ranma nodded, tightened his grip on the Skeleton, who, if he had flesh, sneered. "I'll get you! I'LL GET YOU ALL!!!"
Ranma gripped the Skeleton, put the creature's back against his and threw him over head. "Awww... Shaddup!"
"TAKE THIS!" The creature threw a powerful blast of magic out, which if it hit his son, it would kill him. The green blast flew out and hit...
