Ranma 1/2: Ranma of Grayskull Crossover: Masters of the Universe By: Dani Yanega yanega@mindspring.com (please respond to this e-mail address) Chapter Three Akane sits on the porch her graduation coming up soon, and college starting in another two months. She wonders when Ranma will return he has to start college as well, and he has been gone for over a month now. She is angry with him for making her worry, and wonders if he will be back in time for the prom. If not she would have to go with Ryoga. Ryoga is a good friend but she wants Ranma. Then her mind drifts back to the day after Ranma left and Kasumi's question to her. Her tears begin to fall again as she remembers the little warning her subconscious was trying to give her. 'Be careful what you wish for, you might get it!' Well it seems she did get it and a lot of other headaches too. She now has to fight off Kuno's more ardent advances thanks to Nabiki, who will remember for a long time to come to keep her mouth shut. Since Akane showed her mercenary sister just what her mallet is used for. She felt guilty afterwards but it didn't last long with half the senior class of Furinkan high starting their attacks again because she sold the information to them. Well at least she is almost off the crutches, another week or so and she will be as good as new. She will also have a newfound respect for peoples privacy. Then there are the attacks from Ukyo and Shampoo, they still blame her for Ranma leaving. They attack her at least once a day sometimes twice and when Kodachi found out she began to attack her too. Akane shakes her head as she begins to understand what Ranma was going through. The only difference is that Ranma probably deserves all those attacks, after all the stupid things he does. Akane is sure those attacks were taking divine retribution. She sighs deeply when she hears the telephone ring, she then hears Kasumi pick it up. Kasumi then gathers everyone together in the dining room for an announcement, even Happosai is sitting at the table acting like the head of the family. "That was Ranma on the phone he wants all of us to meet him at the school's sports field tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. He has an announcement to make about all his engagements and his future." Kasumi tells the family, she then pointedly looks at Nabiki with a nervous smile. "He also said that if Nabiki tries to turn this meeting into a money building scheme he will deplete her Swiss bank account and release information of fraud against her stopping any chance she has of getting into business. He also asks that she check her email for proof he can do it." Kasumi watches as Nabiki's face goes pale then as denial settles in Kasumi hands her, her laptop. Nabiki logs in and her eyes go wide, there in front of her is all the information on her Swiss bank account. Not to mention copies of all the proof needed to ruin her but good. She closes her laptop then nods her agreement to everyone's surprise and Akane's inner happiness. /*\*/*\ The same call is being made to Ukyo, The Nekohanten, Tofu and the Kuno estate. Ranma can just hope Ryoga shows up on one of his visits at the appointed time. There is one final call to be made and that is to his mother. When he finishes Ranma heads to a small campsite hidden on the small island in the center of the lake at the park. On his trip back to Nerima he tests his control over the Neko-ken by searching out the triggers. He fells the fear build, but he is able to reign it in and keep the cat from overpowering him. He figures if he does this enough he should be able to eventually not worry about the cat at all. He smiles as he crawls into his tent since it will be a while before bed he decides to play with his new state of the art laptop with built in CD player/burner, not to mention the hand scanner. It is amazing how much money one can save when greedy people don't know you have it. /*\*/*\ Over the last two weeks Happosai has been biding his time waiting for his wayward heir to return. Now the time is almost at hand he can hardly contain his glee. Happosai holds a small pouch and ancient yellowed scroll close to him a smile of pure evil across his face, as he remembers his struggle to retrieve his revenge. ***Flashback*** Deep in the heart of Africa, Happosai jumps from tree to tree. He has always heard the myths that dinosaurs are alive in the African interior. He is surprised to find it is true. Several times he has almost been lunch for a hungry T-Rex but a well placed Happodoken bomb put a stop to that. Happi didn't like the jungle it is to hot and humid, although the lovely native girls where wonderful, but they don't have any lovelies for him to take. Happi pauses to check the scroll and his notepad, he looks around and spots what he is looking for an old carved totem of a dragon, panther and Phoenix. He turns left at the totem and continues down the path excitedly as he is now close to liberating his revenge. It isn't far now according to the scroll; the temple should be less then a mile from that marker. Happosai's warning sense goes off and he jumps high in the trees as another Tyrannosaurus Rex tries to make him dinner. Happi has no fear of the overgrown lizard and laughing with glee lands in front of him. The T-Rex lungs for the diminutive martial artist only to have Happosai take his pipe and in a twisting motion send the dinosaur up over the trees and several miles from his present location. Laughing happily Happosai continues on his way. After about another hour of tree hopping and no further problems with hungry lizards Happi reaches the outer parameter wall of what should be the temple. He jumps down and inspects the wall, comparing its description with that in the scroll. He pulls away some of the growth to see beneath it. There before him are bricks of white, black, and rose quartz, engraved in each brick is a magic rune. This is the first time during the whole trip that Happosai begins to sweat. He hopes that the runes are to protect the temple compound from the dinosaurs and not sneaky thieving martial artists. The old master reaches out and touches one of the runes, it flares slightly but does nothing else. The old troll is satisfied that he can pass then jumps over the wall to land in the compound. It looks as if no one has been at this temple for centuries. The courtyard is overgrown and ill kept. The Anything Goes Grandmaster weaves through the under brush toward a large building made of the same material as the wall. He stands at the bottom step and stares in awe at the sculptured building with its dragons, Phoenixes and panthers, standing guard. Happosai begins to climb the hundred or so stairs to the door that looks like solid gold. In the center of the door is a large ruby bigger the Happosai. It is the center of a starburst engraving in the door. The old master pulls out the scroll, then reaches toward the door and pushes first the ray pointing at west then he press the one pointing south. Next he pushes the ray burst pointing north and finally east. The door slowly begins to open the giant ruby having been cut down its middle. Happi looks into the dark interior he is barely able to make out a torch on the wall near the door he flares his aura then walks over to the torch and lights it. Taking it in his hand he lets his aura fade then he pulls out the scroll and begins to follow the path to the main prayer chamber. Happi looks around the temple as he goes and decides in its hay day it must have been something. He can see remnants of tapestries that must have covered the walls. He would occasionally find some rusted out armor, standing guard on doors that no longer lead to anything important. Several hours of following the maze like hallways Happosai reaches the doors to the main prayer room. The doors of what Happi thinks might have been mahogany have long sense rotted away. He enters the chamber and magically the torches at the altar flare to life. On the wall behind the altar is a faded painting of a castle built to resemble a skull. The old master stares at the painting, transfixed. It is almost like he can see someone moving around in side the castle. The figure of a beautiful woman dressed like a falcon. He steps slowly closer never taking his eyes from the painting. It is drawing him in, he can feel it pull at him wanting him to join it, to join the pretty lovely that lives there. Since Happi is paying more attention to the painting and not where he is going, he doesn't notice that one of the floor stones is dislodged and sticking up about an inch. He trips dropping the torch he is carrying it skids across the floor to land in a small puddle putting out the light. Happi lays on the floor breathing heavily as he knows he was just saved by a piece of quartz from being swept away, thus preventing him his revenge. He gets up being sure not to look again at the painting and heads toward the altar. There in its center is what he is looking for a gold jewel encrusted scroll box with the spell to get his revenge. Happosai slowly reaches out testing for magical protection that might still be in place. He finds none, and if he was not so engrossed in his revenge plans that would have made him leery. Happosai lifts the valuable box to find a small dug out hole under it; looking into the hole he sees a pouch. He reaches in and takes it as well. He'll examine it later. He tucks the pouch inside his gi and the scroll box under his arm. He then heads out the way he came. When Happi crosses the threshold of the chamber the building starts to shake. In the dust where the door once was, lay several gemstones, that suddenly burst forth with streams of light matching their colors. There was ruby, sapphire, emerald topaz, and amethyst. The lights burst through the ceiling causing a cave in, Happi gleefully dodges the falling rocks while racing back the way he came. When he turns down the first corridor he flares his aura to light his way he stops when he sees the rusted out armor is now blocking his path. There are twenty of the old suits of armor and more are joining them. When the hallway is full with wall to wall walking tin cans Happi does what he does best. "HAPPODANKEN SCATTER!" He sends several of his little bombs into the throng of armor, then ducks back behind the wall. [No sense in getting impaled by flying armor.] He chuckles to himself; the explosion rocks the already shaky building. When the dust is clear Happi peeks around the corner of the wall and sees all the armor scattered about the floor the only problem is they were starting to get up. Therefore, Happi makes a dash down the hall leaping over attempts to grab him and kicking attempts to slice him in half. Since most of the armor guards are in the hallway behind him, he is able to avoid the few stragglers, by either kicking them away from him, blasting them with a chi blast or using his ever favorite pipe to send them hurtling behind him into the ones following him. He quickly reaches the door he came in, he sees with horror that the doors are slowly closing on him trying to lock him in. The only problem is that the builders of this temple were not prepared for thief of Happosai's skill. Happi puts on his full speed and runs down the corridor to the exit. When he is but fifty feet away he does what an Anything Goes practitioner does best jump through the almost closed doors. He lands gracefully on the other side of the door, with sigh of relief and a smile of triumph he starts down the stairs. When he starts to feel something very hot behind him. He turns to see the ruby in the door glowing brightly. He knows when he is not wanted and takes off into the under brush and toward the wall. The ruby shoots a blast of pure red fire into under brush hitting the wall. Happi watches in fascination when the wall begins to glow as the magic runes are activated by the ruby. Happi breaks through his entrenchment and heads for a section of wall not yet activated. With his chi empowered speed he just makes it over a section before the red fire turns the runes on. Happi backs away from the wall, watching the vines shrivel and turn to dust when the runes in that part of the wall becomes active. He watches once the wall runes are all glowing how a dome of red covers the temple. When the temple is completely covered, he then sees the fiery red slowly lower itself onto the compound. Happi begins to sweat while watching as the red fire disintegrates all in the temple compound except the temple. Happosai turns and heads back out of the African jungle and back to Japan. He has what he wants for his revenge. Ranma will rue the day he was born, for messing in his affairs. He laughs maniacally as he tree hops back out of the African jungle. ***End Flashback*** Happosai takes out the scroll and pouch. He hasn't translated it completely but that's ok since what he has deciphered will make his revenge sweet. It turns out that if he had not taken the pouch of gemstones the scroll would not work now to get Ranma to hold the bag of stones, to make the spell work. /*\*/*\ The different guests of Ranma Saotome prepare for today's event differently. Akane acts as if nothing is wrong and this is just another grandstand measure by Ranma to get close to the other girls. She has been walking around all morning with a slight aura glowing about her. Everyone in the Tendo house stays out of her way for fear she will explode at them. Happosai rereads the scroll to see if he can decipher any more of it to guarantee that it will work to his satisfaction. While examining the scroll he tosses the bag of gems up and catches them absently. When he leans in to look at a particularly small font he drops the bag. He turns and jumps into the pile of underwear where the bag landed. "SWEETOES!" He forgets the pouch and buries himself in the women's under things holding them close to him. Nabiki stands staring at the rented recording equipment that is spread across her bed. Ranma better hope what he has to say is worth all this effort or she will make his life miserable. Nabiki straps a tape recorder to her waist then places a brooch on her lapel that holds the microphone. She then puts on a very heavy necklace which carries a small 35mm camera. She smiles when thinking of the money she'll make selling audio and visual mediums of this _important_ meeting. Nabiki then finishes getting dressed making sure everything is lined up correctly. Finally she examines her purse making sure the video camera has a clean shot out the special hole in the side. Soun and Genma have been celebrating since the telephone call yesterday. They have gone through 8 bottles of sake, leaving them unconscious on the dojo floor. Each with a goofy grin on their faces. During the night Kasumi has covered each of the men with a blanket. /*\*/*\ The Kuno mansion finds Kodachi in her lab preparing a special bouquet of black roses for her Ranma-sama. The fumes from her concoction having killed a pair of mice in the corner of her lab as they try to escape. Kuno is in the family dojo preparing to do battle with the evil black sorcerer to free his beauteous pigtailed girl, and the tigress Akane Tendo. Instead of his usual wooden bokken, Kuno practices with his families' honor katana. During his kata he slices through five practice dummies that look similar to Ranma. /*\*/*\ Ukyo just leaves her shower; her hair still wrapped in a towel. She enters her bedroom and goes to the closet. She has been waiting a long time for this Ranma is going to make a decision and she is going to be sure he picks her. She also wants to make a good impression on Ranma's mother. Ukyo digs into the back of her closet were there hangs a satin covered hanger with the scent of lilacs with a plastic clothes bag over it. A tear trickles down her cheek as this garment is special. It was her mothers favorite formal kimono, when she left her father's house for good she took this with her for her wedding gown if she ever got married. It is funny then all she wanted was to kill Ranma and his father for what they did, she didn't expect to fall in love with him. Ukyo undoes her hair and brushes it out then taking ribbons of red, blue and yellow she loosely braids her hair, braiding the ribbons in it. She then opens the plastic bag and removes an indigo blue kimono with yellow and red roses embroidered down the right side. She slips into the satin kimono and finishes with a silver obi. /*\*/*\ Shampoo is in the kitchen of the Nekohanten preparing a special meal for her Airen. She knows he will be hungry after living on fruits and nuts while on training. She is even using some of her great grandmother's special spices. Smiling she looks into the pot to see it start boiling. "Shampoo, you must go get ready now! I will finish watching your gift for my wayward son-in-law." Cologne tells her granddaughter. "Aiya grandmother, Shampoo go get ready." She runs off up stairs to prepare herself for her husband. Mousse is a duck in his cage waiting for when they will let him out, he knows they have to take him Ranma demanded it. The only thing that keeps them from taking him there in his cage is that Ranma warned them that he was suppose to be there and _human_. Mousse can't understand why Ranma would care so much for him and his dignity or pride after all he has taken all that matters to him, is his beloved Shampoo. A tear slips from his unfocused eye as Shampoo rushes past. In Shampoo's bedroom she puts on her prettiest Chinese silk dress of a lavender on lavender design. The dress goes all the way up the neck leaving off at a small split collar. She had the seamstress cut an upside down heart shape out just above the chest to show off her cleavage. The dress is long all the way to the floor where it ends just above the silk lavender slippers on her feet. On both sides of the dress is a slit all the way up to just below her hips. She wanted it higher but her great grandmother wouldn't allow it. She did her hair in its usual style but put in dangling crystals at the top of the little ponytails. She stands back and admires herself in the mirror knowing her Airen can not resist her today. She leaves her bedroom and heads back down to her great grandmother. /*\*/*\ Nodoka hurries quickly to get ready for the meeting today. She didn't like the sound of her son's voice. She is sure the group today is not going to like what her son is going to tell them. After putting her hair up in its usual bun, Nodoka gets out the kimono she is going to wear today. She pulls a sliver kimono out that is embroidered with butterflies and tiger lilies. She then puts on an orange obi that matches to color of the lilies on her dress. She then heads for the front door stopping she turns to look at her families honor blade. She doesn't want Ranma to think she plans to use it, but all his friends are violent and a woman has to protect herself. She goes to the mantle over the fireplace and picks up her katana. Once she has it wrapped in rice paper she heads for the school soccer field. /*\*/*\ The participants are standing near the bleachers in divided groups. The Amazons with a drenched Mousse, sitting in the bleachers is the Tendo group with Dr. Tofu who for some reason seems very calm while sitting next to Kasumi. The fact Kasumi has his hand could be why he is in shocked silence. Ukyo stands near the Tendos but not to close as she and Akane are rivals for Ranma. Mrs. Saotome for some reason has chose to remain apart from all the groups especially the Kunos who sit like a king and queen waiting to judge a peasant. Happosai sits high in the bleachers over looking all the lovelies and trying to keep a reign on his wanting to strip them of their little darlings. The only missing party is probably lost in the Antarctic. They all watch the clock each with their own plans for Ranma Saotome. When the clock strikes ten they all turn toward the gate to see if Ranma has arrived, the crowd grumbles as nothing can be seen. /*\*/*\ "Well at least almost everyone showed up!" The group of Nerimaians looks around at Ranma's voice but can't see him. Then a strange glow from above causes them to look up. They all stare in awe as a male Ranma slowly descends with his golden wings blazing. All present have looks from awe to fascination on their faces save one. Happosai stares at his heir his eyes narrowing to tiny slits. [Hhhmm, the boy is more powerful, then I thought. I won't be able to attack him outright.] Happosai works quickly to reformulate his attack, but Ranma does it for him. Ranma lands some thirty yards from his _friends_ his eyes blazing with golden blue fire. They all start toward him in a rush when a powerful chi blast stops them "MOKO TAKABISHA STREAM!" A ribbon of chi lands in front of the on rushing group and explodes spewing up dirt and rubble. When the dust clears there is a trench four feet deep, two feet wide and twenty feet long. The group pauses and stares at Ranma with confusion. He stares back his eyes still blazing, his arms crossed over his chest and his legs slightly apart. His wings blazing behind him give him the appearance of an ancient fire deity. "I am not here to fight, but I will if I have to and believe me _none_ of you will like the outcome!" Ranma tells them with a low ominous voice. [Here's my chance to start laying my plan!] Happosai gleefully thinks to himself. "EVERYONE BACK TO THE BLEACHERS! Or I will start the fight myself!" Happosai yells pulling out a Happadokan, Ranma watches him suspiciously. "Ok, my boy, tell us what it is you have to say." Happi says after everyone has taken a seat, all watching the diminutive martial artist with suspicion as well. "First I have decided to follow my dreams for a change. I am one of the greatest marital artists alive, and I want to be the best! I also want to do more with my skill then get fat and lazy in a dojo!" Ranma starts staring directly at his father and Mr. Tendo. "What..but..you..!" The two men start to sputter amidst the giggles around them, Ranma ignores them. "I can't do that if I am married!" The crowd begins to murmur and for the most part it isn't happy grumbles. "As of this moment I am calling off ALL ENGAGEMENTS! I BELONG TO NO ONE BUT MYSELF!" Ranma waits for the explosion and it isn't a long wait. "WHAT!" Come the simultaneous shouts from everyone. "YOU CAN'T DO THAT THE SCHOOLS MUST BE JOINED!" "YOU WERE PROMISED TO MY DAUGHTER SINCE BIRTH YOU WILL MARRY HER!" "YOU TOOK MY DOWERY YOU HAVE TO MARRY ME1" "YOU JERK WHAT DO I CARE IF WE EVER GET MARRIED!" "IT IS AMAZON LAW YOU WILL MARRY SHAMPOO!" They all begin to rush him again, and he just starts to flap his wings rising above them. He hovers over the angry group his wings moving faster and faster, when he calls out another new technique. PHOENIX FIRE STORM!" The speed of his wings causes a dust storm to rise around the group below him, but as the dirt moves faster it begins to heat up causing all in the path of the storm to feel as thought they were on fire. Happosai and Nodoka are the only two not in the melee, they sit on the bleachers watching with awe and scrutinizing fascination. The group backs away from where Ranma is hovering and out of the firestorm. When they all quiet down Ranma continues. "My honor is in tact, there were really _no_ engagements to break in the first place. _POPS_ voided all of them when he sold me the first time. As far as the Amazon laws, did you know your law book is on the Internet old ghoul? I read every one of your laws even the archaic ones which are still valid by the way. According to them I am already an Amazon and I am aloud to refuse any marriage made by challenge or not, no matter what the outcome." The whole group looks at him with shock then at Cologne with narrowing eyes. "What are you talking about boy? There is no such law!" Cologne snarls at the still hovering boy, Ranma turns to Mousse with a sly smirk. "Hey, Mousse got your law book handy?" He asks the blind boy with a chuckle in his voice, Mousse pulls it out and shows it to everyone. "Ok, look under law number 224 paragraph ten and I am paraphrasing here. 'When a warrior is beaten by an outsider female more then ten times then the outsider gains the status of an Amazon Warrior. If however the outsider female is a Jusenkyo victim and has beaten an Amazon warrior that female/male outsider gains immediate status as an Amazon warrior and is subject to all privileges of that station.'" Ranma finishes with a wide grin at the look of shock on the face of the elder. "He is correct elder here it is. You have wasted three years in Japan on someone who is already an Amazon." Mousse tells her with an evil grin forming on his face. "That is not possible! I won't allow it you _will_ marry Shampoo!" Cologne growls and hops on her staff at break neck speed toward Ranma who just raises his hand and shouts. "PHOENIX SOUL DRAIN!" A golden light with a tinge of blue wraps around Cologne like a snake drawing from her, her life force, which then returns to Ranma leaving Cologne near unconsciousness on the ground by Mousse's feet. Nodoka rises from where she is sitting and walks toward her son, Ranma watches her with some suspicion. Nodoka sees his wariness and it wrenches her heart to know she has not done anything but treat her son as everyone else. She and the others have done nothing but expect the boy to fulfill all of Genma's insane promises. When she is twenty feet away she lowers herself to the ground placing the family honor blade on the ground in front of her. She then prostrates herself at her son'0s feet. Ranma watches this with horror, which turns to guilt when his mother looks up at him with tears streaming down her face. "My son I am so sorry for the pain I have caused you, by allowing Genma to take you from me, by accepting that stupid promise, and by trying to force you to correct the dishonor _he_ has brought to the Saotome name. I am no longer worthy of this blade. This blade belongs with you for you have returned much of the honor to our family your father destroyed." She tells him holding out her sword to him. Ranma disburses his wings and lands gracefully in front of his mother; taking the sword in one hand he helps her to her feet with the other. He looks into his mother's eyes and sees the one thing he has been craving for most of his life unconditional love. He then pulls from weapon space, which causes a gasp from everyone around them another katana, and hands it to his mother. "I can't let you be without a sword, how else will you keep oyaji in line." He tells her with a smile, Nodoka takes the sword and hugs her son tightly. "Good luck my little one, please don't forget me!" She whispers to him her tears flowing even more. "I won't, mom I promise, where ever I end up I will find a way to bring you there." He tells her his tears now flowing as well. The group of fighters watches the conversation between Ranma and his mother. Kodachi the most effected since she has never had a mother that loves her or was there for her, she decides marrying her Ranma-sama will give her that. "Ranma-sama you can't leave me, these harlots are beneath you but I am destined to be with you forever!" Kodachi throws her bouquet of black roses at Ranma. Ranma quickly shoves his mother behind him and lashes out at the bouquet of black roses, the group is in shock of seeing a black cat shape with a golden blue ting aura form around Ranma. They watch as long claws form at the end of his fingers, using them, he slices the booby tapped roses to shreds. Kodachi screams in anger and polls out her ribbon only to meet one of Ranma's new skills. Ranma pulls from weapon space a deep red mahogany Bo staff six feet long where the ends taper to a rounded tip. In the middle of the staff just above Ranma's right hand is carved a dragon, between his hands is carved a Phoenix and below his left hand is a panther. Each of them painted to a high gloss, the dragon is sapphire blue, the Phoenix golden yellow, and panther ebony black. Ranma allows the ribbon to wrap around his staff then pulls with all his might in a circular motion. The move stuns Kodachi into immobility as Ranma lifts her, spinning her once, then releasing her to fly through the air back toward her brother. Kuno is busy day dreaming of a life without Ranma. One where his pigtailed goddess and the tigress Akane are finally his. His daydream is broken when Kodachi lands on him in a heap. Happosai moves forward and Genma and Soun begin to dance as they believe he will prevent Ranma from leaving and make him marry Akane. Ranma takes a defense stance as the old pervert slowly walks toward him. He stops as his mother had done some twenty yards away his pipe billowing blue gray smoke. "Well my boy, I wish you luck." Everyone, including Ranma face fault at Happosai's comment. "I hope you can bring honor to the Anything Goes style that your father could not, and to help you, I give you these gems use them wisely as I know you will." Happosai tosses the bag of gems at Ranma who catches them with the end of his staff. Ranma pulls them free and opens the bag slowly seeing that all the pouch carries were the gems he looks at the old master and for the first time shows him a small amount of respect, by bowing deeply to him. When he straightens he sees the old pervert, is reading an ancient scroll, Ranma looks at the old master with some confusion. Then he feels the tingling of magic forming around his body. His eyes narrow with pure rage as he flares his golden aura. "PHOENIX SOUL ABSORB!" He pulls the magic into himself in plans to shoot it back at the old fool, but something goes wrong. "NO RANMA DON'T!" Tofu is brought out of his Kasumi induced stupor when Ranma calls out his attack, but it is to late. The group watches in horror except Happi who smiles with an evil gleam, as Ranma begins to change into his girl form. The transformation takes only a matter of seconds. Ranma moves toward the old pervert but does not get far enough when a vortex opens above him. The vortex is four feet in diameter and swirls with glittery rainbow colors. Ranma begins to lift off the ground being sucked into the vortex, the girls in the group all scream and try to rush forward to help but are stopped when Happosai throws the a Happodoken at them. He doesn't even bother to call out the attack. He just throws the attack. Then he turns back to watch Ranma disappear into the vortex. Nodoka runs toward her son to try and pull him free, but Happosai stops her by shooting a chi blast at her feet causing her to fall. She pushes herself up on her hands and knees while she watches. Her tears flowing as her child disappears completely and the vortex closes, taking her son from her forever.
