“Just one more mile Herbie.” Genma said.

(That's great! Once we hit the main highway, it's just another half hour until we hit Nermia.) Herbie happily beeped. (You guys are going to love Nermia. Sure, it gets crazy at times, but some of the nicest friends I've ever made live there.)

“Really?” Kanna asked. “How are they?”

(Oh, you guys will love Ranma and Akane.) Herbie beeped. (They and the others are some of the best friends I've ever had.)

“Nobody could have asked for a better son.” Genma said. `I just wish I said that more.' He thought.

“How far are we until we get to the highway?” Kotaro asked. Just then, he heard several cars zooming. He and Kanna then looked and saw a whole bunch of cars zooming by.

“They're… they're cars!” Kanna said.

(Yep.) Herbie beeped. (Lots and lots of cars.)

“Are they like you?” Kotaro asked.

(Oh, not all of them.) Herbie beeped. (While some cars do have inner life, most don't. Besides, I'm more of a people car anyway.) He would have added that with a smile if he could. He then waited a moment and, at the same speed as the other cars, zoomed out into the highway and headed straight for Nermia.

***************************************************************** *******

For almost 30 minutes, all was quiet, all was calm in Nermia. That is, until two minutes ago…

FLASHBACK

Kodachi, Ranma, Akane, and Ukyo met at the place they agreed to, right outside of Uchan's and all had grim looks on their faces.

“Any sign of him?” Ranma asked. All of them shook their heads. “What about Mouse, Nabiki, and my mom? What do they think?” Kodachi then looked at Ranma with an insane gleam in her eyes.

“They seem to be a bit tied up at the moment.” She said. `And thus they won't prevent us from being together!' She thought after words.

“Tied up?” Akane asked. “Doing what?”

“Uh… calling the proper authorities to help us look for that little car.” Kodachi said, trying to recover.

“Well, I've had no luck ether.” Ukyo said. “I'm sure we'll find it Ranma, don't worry.”

“Him Ukyo,” Akane corrected. “Herbie's alive.”

“Uh… riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.” Ukyo said thinking Akane had finally snapped.

“Akane's right Uchan.” Ranma said. “I didn't believe it at first, but I actually experienced the little guy having a mind of his own first hand.”

`I think Ranma-Honey took one too many blows to the head.' Ukyo thought.

“Ranma, I'm really worried about him, it's almost been a full day and we haven't found him.” Akane said on the verge of crying.

“Don't worry honey,” Ranma said forgetting who was around him, “Herbie can take care of himself and we'll find him.” Ranma hugged Akane tightly, right in front of the other girls.

“GET AWAY FROM MY RANMA!” Both fiancées said in unison.

END FLASHBACK

Now, Ranma and Akane are busy fighting off Ukyo and Kodachi, wondering where the others are.

“Shouldn't Mousse be here by now?” Akane asked while trying to dodge exploding okonokiyami. “This is a fight, there are explosions, and he should be helping!”

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I told you he and the others were tied up at the moment!” Kodachi said as she threw some powder in front of Ranma, who was backed into a wall and couldn't dodge it. Right after the powder dissipated, Ranma was frozen solid. Akane couldn't do a thing because she was too busy trying to fight off Ukyo. “At last! SASUKI!” Kodachi yelled. Just then, the Kunos' fateful ninja servant showed up.

“Yes mistress?” The ninja asked.

“Help me get my darling Ranma out of here!” Kodachi said as she handed Sasuki a bad, which he put over Ranma, and they took him out of there.

“RANMA!” Akane cried as she tried to go after him, but was stopped by a mini spatula narrowly missing her nose.

“Ranma's mine sugar!” Ukyo said. “If anybody is going to save him, it's me.” She said.

”Ukyo, this is ridiculous!” Akane said. “If we don't stop Kodachi, we'll…”

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Akane couldn't finish do to dodging a giant okonokiyami bomb.

“Oh no you don't!” Ukyo said. “I left you and Ranma alone far too long and no longer are you coming between me and Ranma honey!”

***************************************************************** *******

Moments before the fight, Herbie was driving on a highway that over looked Nermia, and Kanna and Kotaro were amazed at how different the city looked compared to the village. But before they could say anything…

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

…they heard and saw the explosion.

“What the hell was that?!” Kotaro said.

“An explosion.” Genma stated. “My boy must be in another fight.”

“Against somebody who has bombs?!” Kanna said. “Who in their right minds would set off bombs in a village?!”

“Hmmmmmm… well, Herbie said Ryoga is in jail,” Genma stated, “Mousse is dating Nabiki and is becoming Ranma's friend, and Shampoo and her great grandmother are back in China… that leaves only one person I know of that uses explosions. Ukyo.”

“Why on Earth would she try to kill him?” Kotaro asked.

“If what Herbie said about Akane and Ranma is true, she's not taking their love…”

*SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH*

“…WEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLL!” Genma yelled as Herbie popped a wheelie and rushed over to help out his friends.

***************************************************************** *******

“Ukyo, I don't have time for this!” Akane said. “Ranma's in trouble and he needs…”

“NO! RANMA'S MINE!” Ukyo said with an insane look in her eyes. She tossed one more okonokiyami bomb, which Akane couldn't get out of the way in time of, causing her to…

*WHAM*

…fly into a nearby wall. Ukyo then slowly stalked to her enemy, ready to strike.

“At last, nothing will come between me and Ranma h…” But Ukyo couldn't finish because she felt her spatula was being tugged against something. She then heard a series of beeps.

(Leave my friend alone lady!) Herbie beeped. Ukyo looked and saw the car Ranma described. The passengers saw Ukyo and her crazed look. However, they couldn't see Akane because Ukyo was blocking their view of her face.

“You… you're that car!” Ukyo said surprised.

(And you're fighting a friend of mine!) Herbie beeped, ready to step in.

“Herbie!” Akane said, happy to see her friend.

(Hey Akane!) Herbie happily beeped. (Where's Ranma?)

“Kodachi took him somewhere!” Akane said. Ukyo then gave a side kick to Akane's head, knocking her out. Kotaro was ready to fight her, but Genma stopped him and instructed Kotaro to let him out of the car. Kotaro got outside so Herbie can bend his seat down and help Genma get out of the car without even looking at Akane. Once back in, he missed something else: The look of a very pissed off panda man.

“Excuse me.” Genma said with anger in his voice. “Did you threaten and attempt the life of my son's future wife?”

“What is this?!” Ukyo said. “You attempting to scare me?!” Ukyo said with a laugh. “This mess is your fault, if you didn't take my dad's cart or left me on the side of the road…”

“I was going to offer away to repay that, but you threatened a member of my family.” Genma said as he took the spatula and, to Ukyo's amazement…

*CRACK*

…broke it over his right knee.

“And nobody, I mean nobody, threatens my child OR his finance without answering to me.” Genma said just before attempting to strike Ukyo. She missed, but was amazed.

“Wha… what happened to you?!” She said. “You're supposed to be a coward!”

“I've changed.” Genma said with a smile. “Herbie, take the others to find Ranma.”

(Right!) Herbie beeped, but then, everybody heard what sounded like an airplane.

“That's coming from the soccer field!” Akane said coming to, as Herbie hightailed it to the field. However, as they left, they heard Ukyo scream “LET GO OF ME!”

***************************************************************** *******

“Mistress, are you sure this is a good idea?” Sasuki said. “Can you really trust this pilot?”

“Sasuki, you must learn, when one finds a hired goon, all the goon cares about is how much money you pay him.” Kodachi said.

“But what if Ranma wakes up?” The ninja asked.

I have spare powder. With the plan, I'LL FINALLY BE MS. RANMA SAOTOMAE! HAHAHAHAHA!” Kodachi said.

`Jeez, what a nut.' The pilot thought. `But hey, yen is yen.'

“Besides,” she continued, “My Ranma maybe a brave man, but he's not the strongest. These 250 pound weights I tied to his feet before putting him in the bag shall keep him from escaping.”

`So that's why he's a little heavy.' The ninja thought. “But mistress, what if that car we dispatched shows up?” Sasuki said as they got closer to the plain.

“You disposed of it miles away, what makes you think that?” Kodachi said. Sasuki then pointed to his left, and Kodachi saw at the top of the stairs to the field was Herbie, with bananas in various spots. “Humph. No matter. Its up there, we're down here. It can't do anything.”

However, in the car, Kotaro and Kanna saw the bag.

“That must be Ranma in there!” Kanna said.

“Hey, isn't that Hyato's ninja?” Kotaro asked.

“If that is then you might have to fight him.” Kanna said.

“And I can't do that and get Ranma at the same time.” Kotaro said. “What are we gonna do?” Just then, Herbie opened his left door and flung the bananas…

*SPLAT*

…right in front of the now slippery duo.

“Hey! They're slipping!” Kanna said.

“Good thinking Herbie!” Kotaro said. “Hit them again, maybe they'll release Ranma.” Herbie then opened his right door and flung more bananas…

*SPLAT*

…causing Kodachi to slip on to the ground.

“Sorry Mistress!” Sasuki said.

“Don't just stand there you dolt, get him off of me! I want to wait until we're married!” Kodachi said as Sasuki tried to help her.

“C'MON! LET'S GO! I'M WASTING FUEL!” The pilot said as the ninja helped the gymnast up. Herbie then flung the bananas from his trunk…

*SPLAT*

…causing the ninja to slip. Impatient, the pilot got out and helped them, but Herbie had a few more bananas left on his door…

*SPLAT*

…and the pilot nearly slipped. All three then got the idea to work together and got Ranma to the plane, but that's when Kanna and Kotaro thought of something.

“Ready, aim, FIRE!” They said in unison as Herbie flung the last of his bananas…

*SPLAT*

…into the plane's propeller, causing them to be covered in bananas.

“You know mistress; I'm starting to believe your `Demonic car' story.” Sasuki said. “I've never heard of a car throwing bananas.”

“Shut up and get Ranma in the plane.” Kodachi said as they got Ranma into the plane.

“They got him in there, c'mon!” Kotaro said as Herbie backed out and went to the plane.

Inside the plane, Kodachi looked crazier than ever because she was one step closer to having Ranma to herself.

“Let's go! I'm not paying you to just be here!” Kodachi said.

“With those weights you got on Ranma and the extra passenger, I'm going to need the whole field to take off.” The pilot said just as Herbie drove off the road and down a hill on to the field. Everybody looked behind them and saw Herbie with his trunk moving in a mouth-chomping motion. “What in the world is that car trying to do?”

“Is it going to eat us?” Sasuki asked.

“Anything's possible with this car.” Kodachi said.

Herbie then got closer and closer to the plane until…

”That's it Herbie! Bite them down!” Kanna said.

“You got `em, let that bird thing have it!” Kotaro said as Herbie did a wheelie and closed his trunk on the tail.

“You got it!” Kanna said. “Don't let go! We'll get Ranma out of there yet!” Herbie then put his two front wheels back to the ground, with the plane's tail still in his trunk, causing Ranma to slide inside and hit the end of the tail…

*SLAM*

…which hit the ground due to the extra weight.

“GET HIM OUT OF THERE OR I CAN'T TAKE OFF!” The pilot said as Sasuki went back there. “I'm going to pull up and you catch him when he comes out.”

“Got it!” The ninja yelled. The pilot did so, and Sasuki caught the sliding Ranma just as Herbie got ready for round two.

“You did it once, you can do it again!” Kotaro said. “Bite it down!” Herbie had the tail in his trunk, but couldn't close it.

“Shake it off!” Kodachi said as the pilot did so, causing Herbie to crash into a near by basket full of soccer balls a few feet away from the plane.

“Kotaro…” Kanna said.

“I'm not quitin'.” Kotaro said. “What about you Herbie?” Herbie then revved up his engine as he had an idea that might work since this is what he went through with Paco years ago as he drove up to the side of the plane.

“Look!” Sasuki yelled as he saw Herbie. “He's gonna ram us!”

*WHAM*

Sure enough, Herbie hit the tail of the plane, causing it to be bent sideways.

“Hurry up!” Kodachi yelled, but they were going in circles. “What's going on?!”

“He bent my tail! That's what!” The pilot said as Herbie, bent trunk and all, placed himself in front of the plane.

“He's in front of us, pull up! Pull up!” Kodachi said. The pilot did so, but the weight shifted suddenly, that the additional weight of a weighed down Ranma caused the plan to land before the tail…

*CRASH*

…cleared the goal, causing the plane to bend slightly, but Ranma slid to the control panel, and the unconscious boy unknowingly hit the right button as the plane moved forward…

*RIIIIIIIIP*

…tearing the tail of the plane.

“They're still going! We have to stop them!” Kanna said as Herbie went after them.

“What now?!” Kodachi said angrily.

“The throttle's jammed open!” The pilot said. Unfortunately, he didn't notice two poles that…

*CRASH*

…caused his wings to fall off.

“MY WINGS!” The pilot said. Herbie was so concerned with getting Ranma out of there…

*BUMP*

…he failed to notice the wings.

“You ok Herbie?” Kanna asked.

(I think I hit something.) Herbie said sounding weak.

“You don't sound that good.” Kotaro said, but then saw the people they were fighting ahead of him. “We're close Herbie, you can do it!” Herbie then revved up his engine and went after them.

***************************************************************** *******

At the Tendo home, Nabiki, Kasumi, Nodoka, and Mouse were indeed tied up. Nabiki heard from a ninja that was afraid that Sasuki's service to the Kunos' would tarnish their academy what the gymnast had planed. Not wanting them to interfere, Kodachi tied them up, but Mousse was working his way free.

“Are you almost done?” Nabiki asked.

“I almost got it! Hold on!” Mousse said.

“She did a really good job with the knots.” Kasumi said, causing everyone to give her a bewildered look.

***************************************************************** *******

At the scene where the fight had ended, the police showed up and saw a dazed Ukyo, and a man in a gi helping a girl regain conscious.

“What's going on…?” But the officer was interrupted by Genma.

“My son was kidnapped by a crazed woman and we need to get to him NOW!” Genma said. The officer complied and the cops went after them.

***************************************************************** *******

“Can't you make this thing go any faster?!” Kodachi asked seeing Herbie and the others were getting closer.

“No! It'll ruin my plane!” The pilot said, earning dumb founded looks from his passengers. Just then, the cops joined in and Kotaro peeked out the window. Genma saw him because he was up front, but Akane was in the back still recovering and couldn't see anything.

“They got your son!” Kotaro yelled as Herbie saw they were near a familiar local, the Tendo Dojo.

***************************************************************** *****

Where at this moment, Mousse, Nabiki, Nodoka, and Kasumi were free and they suddenly heard the commotion outside, where Mousse got an idea as he and the others ran out the door.

***************************************************************** ******

Almost to the dojo, Kotaro and Kanna saw that they were ready to strike because they gained up with the wrecked plane.

“Ok Herbie, we got them now, give it to them!” Kanna said as Herbie…

*WHAM*

…crashed into the plane, but the plane's passengers were more concerned with the chain barrier that was right in front of them…

*CRASH*

…that stopped them and launched the plane's engine 2 feet away from the plane. The remains then bent backwards, causing Ranma to slide out. Kotaro ran for the bag containing Ranma to get him out of there, but since he was too heavy to life, he had to drag the bag.

“Ohhhhhhh, my head.” Ranma uttered.

“He's coming to!” Kanna said just as the plane's…

*CRASH*

…wheels gave out and crash and the cops were all over it, and Kodachi was KO'd, the pilot raised his hands, but Sasuki was gone.

“Ranma!” Nodoka yelled as she, Nabiki, and Mouse ran to the scene. Only noticing the bag, when her son came to, Nodoka was overjoyed, but when she saw Kotaro, she was bewildered. “Ranma?”

“Huh? Mom?” Kotaro said. Kotaro then got a good look at Ranma and felt like he was looking in a mirror.

“Hey,” Ranma said coming to. “She's my mom you…” Ranma then saw Kotaro. “…jerk? Who the hell are you?!” Nabiki and Mousse had the same bewildered looks and then Kanna joined them.

“What the…?!” She said. “Two of you?” Kanna said.

“You know this guy Akane?” Nabiki asked.

“Akane?” Kanna asked. “Sis, you know my name is Kanna.” Then the real Akane showed up and the two just looked at each other. Genma then appeared.

“I see you four finally met.” Genma said. Nodoka snapped out of it to give her husband a look that killed. “I deserve worse than that, but right now, we need to see if our son is ok and help Herbie. He's pretty banged up.”

`I'd leave by myself so you'd guys worry about Ranma, but if I end my `Innocent little car' act, the cops will think Ryoga was right and he'll be back here.' Herbie thought as he remembered his second run in with pig boy. `Best I just stay parked. I hope everything goes okay for Genma and Ranma.'

***************************************************************** *******

A couple of hours, repairs and some stories at the Tendo Dojo later, everybody got to know one another. And while Ranma and Akane were shocked at their look-a-likes, and vice versa, it seems they were going to be good friends while they were there. As for Nodoka and Genma…

“You heard me Genma Saotomae.” Nodoka icily said. “I want nothing to do with you. You nearly killed our son, and for what?! A martial arts title! You also drove me into thinking that contract was real because it was the only think linking me to Ranma. I want you out of my life.”

“Very well Nodoka.” Genma said as he left the dojo doors. He then bowed to his wife, son, and friends. “I hope you will all one day forgive me for the man I once was.” Herbie then opened his driver door and passenger door.

(I can take you home on the way of dropping of Genma where he wants to go.) Herbie beeped as he had an idea. `Here's to getting your wish Ranma.' He thought. Nodoka then sighed.

“While I don't want to be near my husband right now, I honestly more than anything after the events just need to rest. Thank you.” Nodoka said as she and Genma got in their sides respectively. Then, it dawned on Ranma.

“Hey, Herbie, aren't you facin' the wrong way if you're headin'…”

*SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH*

“…home?” Ranma finished after Herbie did his classic wheelie with Genma and Nodoka inside. Akane then noticed where he was going.

“Hey, isn't that where he took us when we said…” Akane then looked up and saw that Ranma looked extremely happy. “It looks like you'll be getting your family back after all Ranma.”

“Thank you Herbie.” Ranma said with a tear in his eye. “Thank you.”
