Ranma, the Demon-Sorcerer
Chapter 10
{Chinese}
<Panda sign>

Daolon Wong had finished the carving and mixing of the different animals to make the beasts
that would hunt and defeat the power demon boy, Ranma. He had created a cat creature that would
be the undoing of the cursed boy. A cat creature.

Daolon had seen how the boy had reacted to the pressence of his tiger beast. The boy had run
in fear. Terror was something that the dark chi wizard fed on. To hear the screams of his
victums was a boon to his black soul. And so he had created a beast that would stop Ranma
and place him fear so that the wizard could capture him so that he could be drained of power.

The base of the creature was the famed snow leopard of China. A creature of stealth. Perfect
for sneaking up on the boy and placing the spell that would prevent him from using his talisman
powers. All that would be left would be the natural powers of the demon. A match for his
minion. That was why the fear was the key to the abilities of the beasts.

A scared demon boy would be next to defenceless to beasts. Plus the beasts could also be
useful spying on his foes, learning their secrets so that he could use them against his
enemies. Learning of their weaknesses so that he would gain the upper hand in dealing
with them.

"Go forth, my beast! And learn so that I might smite my enemies!" Daolon told his beasts. With
a roar it snuck out into the world to observe the world for it's master.


At the Tendo home...

Cologne listened to her student's problem as she stopped work for a minute on the finishing
touches of her spell. It was quite amuzing to listen to the problem that was occuring with the
young man. Diffently a cause that was common amoung the young. But then again, love was. But
it could also become quite a problem if it was going to effect the balance of power in their
fight agaonst evil.

"So you have feelings for my Granddaughter Shampoo, the Elder Tendo girl and the Sailor senshi
of Pluto. Well, that could be a bit of trouble. And solutions that will make people happy will
be hard to impliment. But it would be best if we could wrap this up quickly. My best advice is
figure out where your heart lies. Perhaps going out on a date with each of them to discover
your heart." Cologne said, adding "But if all else fails and you need to move quickly, you
might just want to tell them the truth."

"But wouldn't that make them look at me like I was some kind of pervert. I mean what kind of
man falls for three women? And how can I tell them that?" Ranma said. He sighed and said,
"Perhaps your dating idea has merit. I will try to follow that plan of action. Thank you,
elder!" Ranma then left, leaving Cologne alone. For a little while.

There was a knock at the door. "Enter!" The matriarch said as she welcomed the figure in. She
was surprised to see another one of her students walking in. It was the eldest Tendo daughter,
Kasumi. The poised woman entered the room and closed the door.

"Elder, I have been having feelings that have troubled me. It seems to become stronger as I
have been increasing my studies in chi magic. I think that I am falling in love with Ranma. And
I don't know why. Do you think that my studies have been altering my emotions?" Kasumi asked,
worried.

"Chi magic is most likely not responciable for the alterations in your emotions. But it could
be connected. One, you spend more time with Ranma as you study. You get to know him better as
you cast your spells. Second, it could be possible that your chi awareness is growing. This
allows you to sense more about a person or an object. Seeing more of the difference facets of
person might open you up to possiblity of love with that person." Cologne said, continuing "Why
is it a problem for you to fall in love with Ranma?"

"It due to many reasons that have been piling up. First, there was the pressure of our
fathers. They have been hinting at the Ranma married to me or my sister as quickly as possible.
They have been hinting at the grandchildren that they want to see. And I'm just not sure that
I'm ready for that yet. Secondly, I'm not sure that Ranma is right for me. I have always been
looking for someone older and more mature than myself. Ranma is younger and more rash than I
am. That might cause trouble. Plus...what if he doesn't love me?" Kasumi said, worried.

Cologne listened to this, noting that this was similar to the tale told by her male student.
"I think that you must try to build a relationship with Ranma. If this leads to romance, then
so be it. If not, you will still have a bond with him. Perhaps you find out that you are not
in love with Ranma. But if you are, you can change it. You must accept it and move on."

"I thank you. I will reflect on this and see what will happen." Kasumi said as she got up and
headed out. Cologne watched that and let out a little laugh. The chaos of youth and young love.

Later...

The Inner Senshi stood, waiting for the chi wizardress known as Cologne. The Amazon matriarch
had called them here to recieve their new powers. Close by were the senshi's Advicers. Luna
and Artemis, had followed to gain an impression of the new allies of the senshi.

"So this woman is the one that will return your powers. How can you be sure they can be
trusted?" Luna asked, ready for the worse in case things got bad. After all they had gone
through with friends turing out to be enemies, they needed to get ready for things to get
hairy.

"I'm sure that they know what they are doing, Luna. I mean that Setsuna wouldn't let them get
into something they couldn't handle." Artemis said, with a strike of optimism. "Besides, how
bad could they be?" He turned to look at the little old woman hopping at him. "BAHHHHHH!!!!"
Artemis nearly hopped out of his skin at the appearance of the old woman. Luna laughed.

"We are about to start the ceremony that will unleash your powers. Daolon Wong's blocking
spell should break when this spell is cast." The old woman said, as she pasted out strange
looking pens to most of the senshi with their heart shaped symbols of the planets. She handed
a brooch to Usagi. "These recepticals shoudl hold your powers."

Cologne stepped back, looking everything over. Then she noticed the cats standing with their
charges. A look of concern crossed her face. "I'm afraid that these cats will have to go. Ranma
has certain...issues with the animal."

"I'm don't think that's a good idea. You see they are our advisers." Usagi said, trying to
explain to the Amazon that the felines.

"Yes!" Luna said, speaking up to a human that wasn't a senshi for the first time. "I think
that it would be in our best interest for us to stay here for this." Luna didn't want to leave
this woman to do who knows what to her senshi.

"Very well. I will begin." Cologne said, as she raised her staff in the air. "K'un, Chen, Li,
Tui, Ch'ien, Sun, K'an, Ken!" As the chanting began, a powerful charge of energy flowed over
the elder. It seemed to gather in the staff, coating it with a red glow. The Cologne pointed
the staff at the senshi.

A blast of energy hit the Senshi and flowed over them. The pens and the brooch shimmered with
the energy of the good chi. The senshi glowed with purple-blue chi that was coated with red
chi. Suddenly, there was a noise like thunder. Or like something breaking. Then the purple-blue
was gone. All that was left was red. Cologne finished up her chant and then lowered her staff.
The chi stopped flowing.

The girls felt a connection with their powers. It was different than the one they had held
before, but it still felt good. They looked at Cologne. "How do we activate the power?" Ami
asked, curious.

"You just have to say your planet then 'Chi Make Up'." The elder said as she stood watching.

"Well, he goes nothing." Makoto said as she pulled out her pen. "Jupiter Chi Make Up!" The
other senshi watched as she started to transform. Thunderous electrical energy surged around
her as it went in and out of her body. Her clothes faded as she became nude, awaiting her
senshi costume.

It came, but it wasn't the same uniform that she had always worn before. The suit had been
replaced by a sliver breast plate with a styled bow of greeen engraved on it. Her green skirt
was made of metallic substance that allowed movement. Her gloves were also made of the metallic
substance, silver ending in green trim.

Her boots were made of the metal stuff her gloves and skirt were made of as well. They were
green, up to her thighs and with decent heels. Her tiara had been replaced with a helmut like
headress that protected her head, yet allowed her hair to flow free. A neck bracer competed
the look. She looked like some kind of Amazon warrior from ancient greece than the Sailor
Senshi that she had been before.

"I might have taken some liberties with the uniform, but I think that it turned out okay."
Cologne said as she looked at the changed Senshi uniform. "I might have also added a few things
to the power that you are using."

"What do you me elder?" Usagi asked, looking at the uniform Makoto was wearing. The light
gliting off her metallic uniform. Ami was looking at the new uniform with her Mercury computer.
She was looking at the readings with a shocked look.

"I have combined your powers with good chi. That has given it an edge to the magic that you
have used before. While it held positive energy, it didn't have protection against dark chi.
Only specialized negative energies. But now..." Cologne said, as she pointed her staff at the
armor that Sailor Jupiter was wearing.

Ami pulled her fellow senshi together and talked to them. "I've been getting readings on the
new outfit that Makoto is wearing. And it's amazing." Ami told them. "It's much more powerful
than our original senshi uniforms. It still has traces of the Moon Kingdom's energy, but much
of that has been replaced by the positive energy that Cologne uses in her magic. The magic
seemed to have been focused. This new uniform has new attacks and new defensive capabilities."

"They're that good?" Rei asked, trying to figure out what her uniform looked like.

"It is." Ami said, adding "Still, I would like to now more about this chi magic of Cologne's."

'As would I.' Rei added thinking about the magic that had been found at her temple by the
Chans. She wondered if she could talk to Cologne in private, so that she volinteer to be one
of the old woman's apprentices.

"If you need me, I'll be inside training my apprentices." Cologne said as she headed for the
house. Rei looked at things and took her chances. She followed the old woman into the house.
Her friends still looking at the transformed Makoto and thinking of their senshi forms. Rei
looked back and thought about her form. But she desired to know more about Chi magic. So she
continued towards the amazon matriarch.

"Elder Cologne! Elder Cologne! Could I talk to you for a minute?" Rei asked as she tried to
get the elder's attention. "I need to talk to you!" It looked like the elder hadn't heard her,
so Rei was about to start again when Cologne turned around and looked at her.

"What is it you desire, child?" Cologne looked at her closely. It was slightly distrubing to
have Cologne stare at her. It made Rei feel self concious.

But her desire gave her a burst of courage. "I want to learn more about Chi Magic. I want to
be your apprentice." Rei said.

"Well, you must know that if you choose this path it will be a hard one." Cologne told her.
"You might take as long as fifteen years of study to learn about the mystical arts of Chi
magic. My current students either need to take their studies to protect them from the dark
forces or are willing to make the sacrifices that are needed to learn the mystical arts. Are
you willing to make the sacrifices needed to be made?"

Rei thought about it. Fifteen years were a long time to learn. She would most like be out of
university before she had finished the studies with Cologne. It would mean more hard work, but
she had to ask herself would it be worth it. Given the fact that Cologne had returned their
powers and increased them using Chi powers, Rei had to agree that it would be worth it.
Especially if something forced them to lose their powers again.

"I agree!" Rei ask, bowing and saying "Sensei!"

"Excellent. I will begin by testing your powers and seeing how much you have to learn. Then I
should be able to give some exercises for you to study and practice. Then we will work at
getting up to date with the work of the others." Cologne smiled. "I sense much potential in you
for the art." Cologne beckend for Rei to follow her to her room.

Outside...

The leopard beast watched the girls comment on their costumes. It was news but nothing that
was important enough to report back to it's master. What it really needed to do was to get
into the building that housed the chi mage and her students. But the whole area was protected
with good chi magic. He could only stalk the edges of the house and dojo.

It would need stronger magic to enter the premises. That was why he was contacting his master.
"Masterrrr! Masterrrr!" It called out, trying to some it's master. From it's eyes, the
reflection of Daolon Wong appeared.

"What is it, my minion?" Daolon called out mentally to his creation.

"Masterrrr, I can not enterrrr the home of yourrrr enemies. It is barrrred by good magic!" The
beast called out.

"As I had thought. Fortunately, I have cast a cloaking spell in your body that will allow you
to slide under the powerful chi that is being used to block you." Daolon Wong told his
creature. "But their will be a price. You will be unable to attack anyone under the protection
of the house. If you do, the force will rip you appart as the good chi tries to counter act
your dark chi. You will have to observe them, then lure them out into the open after you have
collected the information I desire. Now go!"

"Yes, Master." The leopard came to the border of the magic. It could feel the crackle of the
good chi trying to fight off his dark chi. It concentrated on it's dark chi as it's master had
commanded. A flimy, oily coating of chi covered the leopard as it slide through the barrier. It
entered the building.

Inside, Cologne got the willies....


Nabiki sat back, looking at her journal. She thought about how things were changing. Her
family had welcomed two people cursed with demon curses into their homes. Her sister was
learning magic. Now they were linked with the Sailor Senshi. And that wasn't the bad things
that were happening to her family.

Daolon Wong was out there hunting for the power of the demons. Another demon curse was out
there with something Cologne called the "Dark Enemy". Definatly negatives from where she was
watching. It was hard trying to live a normal life with all of this madness.

But now she was trying to find a way that she might find some safety and stability as well as
some profit. And she was finding some of that from the madness. There was some profit in the
creation of charms that were suppose to bring good luck. With Cologne's imput, it was possible
to create charms with limited luck infusions. Items that would encourage good things to
happpen. They were bring in some more money for the house and for her personal bank books.

Cologne had also placed protective wards around the house. And Nabiki could see the energy
of the wards herself. Plus there was the powers of the demon cursed themselves. Ranma's flames
and Shampoo's lightning were cheap sources of power once they found a way to story and use that
power.

Still, she was intimidated by the power of the chi mage, demon cursed and her sister. It
seemed attract nothing but trouble. But still it was a more exciting life, just as she had
wished before she had met Ranma. So she was torn. She wasn't as negative as Akane, who had
seemed to have made it her mission to get rid of the cursed ones. Plus those that have followed
them. But she wasn't about to join them as Kasumi was. All she wanted was some kind of sign
that things would be okay.

But where would that come from?


From within and without the house, there were those that were watching things to see what was
happening within. Soon, there would be a brand new day rising.
