The Key to a Successful Interview Chapter 24 wrote:"No." He began to fall, plummeting far and fast into the depths of despair like any other. He'd never be able to see Akane again, and she was stuck…doomed to be with Ranma forever. "No…no…"
Falling completely into darkness, Ryoga looked to his right, and then to his left. His eyes widening, he turned to face towards Ranma and the others again. He was in despair, losing Akane forever had left him in despair.
He threw his head back and screamed as his battle aura encompassed his entire body. "...RANMAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"Oh my, that is not good." Cologne said as the battle aura grew and became a wave of energy shot upward.
"That's obvious, but what is it!" Nabiki shouted as Ryoga kept screaming and pouring more of the negative energy into the air, the blast of hot wind from the attack buffeting them.
Cologne frowned. "The sheer weight of Ryoga's anguish has allowed him to perfect the Shishi Hokodan!"
"Perfect it? You mean what he's been smacking me around with was the basic version?" Ranma yelled as the cloud of energy overhead began to grow, spreading over their heads.
The other students were quickly running, as Kodachi took a step back. "We should run…"
"Yes, that is a good idea!" Akane agreed.
"RANMA! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS!" Ryoga yelled. "TAKE THIS! MY LOVE! MY ANGER! AND ALL OF MY SORROW! SHIN SHISHI HOKO-!"
A car, traveling at incredible speed, smashed into Ryoga, sending him tumbling onto the hood, skipping across the roof, and crashing face first to the ground. The red cloud of energy almost immediately dispersed, as another car, moving at a much more reasonable speed, steered around him and came to a stop behind the first car.
Ranma and his group stared at what just ensued, and he titled his head slightly. "What."
"Deus Ex Machina is a bitch." Nabiki said, having wish she'd filmed the car hitting Ryoga. Still, she got her camera pointed at the new twist.
Shampoo agreed wholeheartedly with the middle Tendo. "Yeah, she'll fuck you if you let her."
Ryoga, who had already been on his last legs before, slowly got up. He'd been hit by cars lots of times, but that, why did that one hurt so badly? He looked towards the two cars, the second one being a blue compact, behind a badly beaten up silver sedan.
"What the…?" He asked as the passenger side doors of the silver car opened, and a girl his age stepped out before pointing at him.
"That's him alright! We finally found you!" The girl yelled out as a taller girl with glasses stepped out from the rear passenger door.
"For goodness' sake, we just hit the guy! Call an ambulance or something!" The tall glasses girl yelled at her companion.
"Nah, it's good." The driver of the car said as she climbed out. "Nerima folk are inhuman monsters, this was just a love tap compared to what they can usually take."
"What are you talking about?" The glasses girl demanded. "We just hit a guy with a car doing eighty!"
She then gawked at Ryoga as he stood up shakily. "Wait. What!"
"I told you." The driver said.
The first girl caught Ryoga's attention. "It took us months, but we've finally managed to track you down, you deadbeat!"
"Deadbeat?" Ranma asked before he looked to Nabiki, who quickly shrugged her shoulders as she kept filming the confrontation.
"Hey, this is news to me." She said. "But it's gold."
Ryoga's eyes went wide, as he recognized the girl accosting him. "W-wait…oh no…"
The doors of the blue car opened, and a tall, athletic girl with an intimidating look emerged, joined by a shorter but equally athletic and intimidating young woman. The driver of that car, another older woman, climbed out and shook her head at the other driver for her recklessness.
Ryoga, completely terrified now, froze and shook his head. "Um…I think you have me mistaken for someone else…"
"Oh don't give us that, Casanova!" The first girl said. "You're going nowhere now, except with us to finally take some responsibility for what you've done!"
Akane's expression was dumbfounded at first, before a big smile comprised entirely of schadenfreude began to crawl across her face. "Oh man."
"This is going to be epic." Nabiki said as Ranma, Kodachi, and Shampoo joined the sisters in smiling oh-so-sinisterly.
Another high school aged girl stepped out of the car, and all the color drained from his face, his body, even his hair and what remained of his clothes. The girl in question smiled big and waved to him happily as she spoke with distinct Kansai dialect. "Hey Ryoga-kun, it's nice to see you again!"
"O-Osaka…" Ryoga squeaked in terror as his gaze traversed downward to the girl's stomach, which was clearly rounded. "…Oh no…"
"Miss Sakaki, Kagura, please collect our proud Father-to-be." The driver of the first car said to the girls who had emerged from the second. Nodding, they walked over to Ryoga and hoisted him up by the arms.
"No, no, no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-NO!" Too weak to fight back, Ryoga was dragged over to the apparent bane of his existence, who happily embraced him.
"You said if I ever found you again, we'd be together, Ryoga-kun." Osaka said to him. "Well, here I am! It took a long time, but I found you. It's a good thing too; I don't think I'm going to be able to fit in a wedding dress if we wait any longer."
"This is the most amazing day of my life." Nabiki said, tears of schadenfreude running down her face.
Ranma collapsed, laughing hysterically as Ryoga weakly tried to get free of the surprisingly strong grip of the two girls holding his arms. He began babbling. "No wait, you don't understand Osaka…!"
He looked towards Akane, who had her hands clapped over her mouth to muffle her own laughter, and then back to the other girl. "What we had, it was just a one time thing! I swear!"
"Once is enough." Kagura admonished. "Didn't anyone teach you these things?"
"Yeah, and we're not letting one of our own bring a bastard into the world!" The first girl cried out.
"Tomo!" The glasses girl snapped at her friend.
"But, there's another girl, she and I…!" Ryoga tried to plea.
"Don't worry, Ryoga!" Ranma called out. "She's in good hands; you go and let us know when the wedding is!"
"I'll do your wedding photos and film the ceremony if you like!" Nabiki called.
Shampoo quickly tossed a business card to them. "Cat Café will do the catering, we have good rates!"
"Oh, that's wonderful!" Osaka called back as Sakaki caught it. "Thanks you guys!"
Kodachi used her ribbon to wipe away a tear. "Oh, these engagements get me so emotional…"
Sakaki and Kagura managed to force Ryoga into the back seat of the blue car. In one final act of desperation, he tried to climb out and reached for Akane. "Akane…no…I love you Akane! Please stop them! Akane, help me!"
Tomo leaned over towards the blue car. "Chiyo-chan, use the tranquilizers please?"
A younger and very cute girl leaned from the car and jabbed Ryoga in the neck with a jet injector. Going rigid for a brief moment, Ryoga went limp, before he was shoved off into the car. As soon as he was secured, the other occupants climbed in, with Sakaki turning to bow politely to Ranma and the others before joining her friends.
Both cars then quietly drove off, taking their prize with them. As they departed, and the crowd began to disperse, Akane sat down next to Ranma, and leaned against him. Seeing this, Cologne took it upon herself usher the others away to leave them to themselves. Ranma was still chuckling, as Akane took his hand into hers.
"What a bastard." She said quietly. "Coming after me when he made that kind of promise to another girl, and he got her pregnant no less."
"Yeah…" Ranma rested his head against hers and sighed. "I feel sorry for that girl, if that's the Father of her child."
