Pee Wee looked at them smugly, "I'm afraid we can't do that. Get 'em." And with that his goons attacked. 'Besides, this way, I can get even more DNA samples.' Pee Wee thought to himself.

Ranma growled as he saw Shin, from Daishi's description, "You can all take whomever you want, but he's mine." And with that Ranma charged Shin.

Ionis took on Brianna, knowing how dangerous she was, "AURA BOLT!" He yelled as he knocked her weapon away from her, but was surprised that she charged him and started pummeling him at high speeds, since she was so close and not giving him time to concentrate, he couldn't focus on a spell to use. Now while not as fast at Cologne, Ranma, or even Britanny, she was fast enough in her own right, and did a pretty good imitation of the Katchuu Tenshin Amaguriken.

Brianna smirked at his unmoving form, "Heh, I may like heavy weaponry, but if I used it here I'd hurt my friends and family."

Zelda attacked Julia figuring that since Britanny usually fought against her, that her mother couldn't be any good. Well she found out she was WRONG! Just as Zelda got close enough, she launch a kick at Julia, Julia for her part scoffed at how sloppy the kick was and grabbed it, pulling Zelda close to her and then knocking the bald woman out with the flat of her rapier.

Gar charged Link, who just beckoned him to come at her. Link then jumped into the air intending to land behind Gar and smack him with a gun she had hidden on her. What she didn't expect was that he would stop and smack her with the flat of his spear, knocking her out.

Shin punched at Ranma's face, who ducked and grabbed the outstretched hand and slammed him on his back. Shin quickly got back up and got one of Ranma's newer techniques at full fury. "Neko Amaguriken." Shin was then subjected to around 4400 punch/slashes in four seconds. As he fell into blissful sleep, Ranma then gave him an open palm strike right to the chest that sent him flying into Pee Wee and had both of them crashing on the floor and effectively pinning Pee Wee under Shin.

Julia had cut Sheila free from the table, who then jumped up and glomped Ranma giving him big kisses, which he happily returned. Gar's eye twitched, "What no thanks for the rest of us?"

Julia shook her head at Gar, "Don't worry about it, she's just happy to see him, that's all."

Brianna smiled, "Besides it's cute, don't you think?"

Gar grumbled, "Yeah, yeah."

(----)

Julia and Brianna tied up the last of Pee Wee's goon squad and Gar had his weapon practically buried into Daishi's back as they forced him to walk his boss and associates back to the dojo. Sheila and Ranma were walking in the back of the line and holding hands and leaning on one another.

Brianna looked at those two and had to fight down her own jealousy at that sight. "Sheila always gets all the luck." She mumbled to herself.

Julia raised an eyebrow at this and looked at the two Jagweres. "I don't know Brianna. If things had turned out differently, you might have gotten him for a fiancé."

Brianna flushed a bit, "Sorry mom, it's just that I'm jealous of those two."

Julia just shook her head, "You'll find someone someday." While the three Jagweres could hear what was being said, they opted to ignore it.

Back at the dojo . . .

Ryan groaned as he came to. "Damn it felt like I got ran over by a freight train."

"Actually, that was my Grammy that beat you up."

Ryan shook his head and saw Britanny looking down at him and smirking. "I've got no pride left."

Brit shook her head, "Nope!" She then sobered, "There's something you should know though."

Ryan blinked, "What?"

Brit sighed, "We found out who Gina's father is."

"Really, who?"

Thropan was sitting at the table, he and Gina had decided to put the talk off until Ryan was awake, and he deserved to know at least. "That would be me Ryan."

"What?" Ryan asked in a weak voice.

Gina sighed, "Come on, let's go inside and talk about this." Both Ryan and Thropan nodded and went inside the house with Gina.

Raphiel turned to Mumsey, "So now what Mrs. Brigand?"

Mumsey just sighed, "I'm not sure." She narrowed her eyes, "Too bad Julia went with, and told me to stay here in case an enemy of ours shows up or I would've went with and taught those punks a lesson they wouldn't forget."

Theo shook his head and Cologne looked at him, "Something I should know?"

"Mumsey's always like that. She has a quick temper and she misjudges people sometimes, mainly through her first impression of them, but she always looks out for her family."

Cologne just nodded, "Heh, she seems like my Great Grandmother, the best Amazon fighter of all time. Always judged a person by her first impression of them and she never changed her opinion."

The rat trio, Akane had run inside for something, were sitting by a tree in the corner of the yard. Moshia looked at Romeo and Lydia, "So, like, what are we going to do, you know, now that we're basically rogue Wererats?"

Lydia shrugged, "I'm not #%$#$#$ sure." She sighed, "Maybe help Romes find a #@$%$%# place of his own."

Romeo shrugged, "But where will we live? On Earth, we'd have to deal with Elder Gothwrain and on this 'Jade' place we'd have to deal with those Werecats."

"$@#%@ If I know!"

Meanwhile Julia, Gar, Brianna, Ranma and Sheila along with Pee Wee's goons came back into the yard at that moment. Julia smirked, "Well, here you go. These people that are all tied up have been bothering my children for the past few years or so."

Mumsey blinked, "You mean that they've been attacking my Grandbabies?" Julia nodded, and Mumsey growled, narrowed her eyes, clenched her teeth and then yelled, "PREPARE TO DIE!!"

Pee Wee got wide-eyed at the VERY large and pissed off woman coming at him and his group. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

Julia stepped between Mumsey and her vengeance. "Now Mumsey, I can't allow you to attack a little kid, regardless of he's done to the family."

"Fine! But let me at the others!" Julia nodded and stepped out of the way. Mumsey grabbed Shin, Zelda, Ionis and Link and picked them up and carried them to the dojo where she could get a bit of privacy with her 'company'. Everyone, including Daishi and Pee Wee sent a small prayer to the heavens for the goon squad's safety. A moment later, Mumsey came back out and grabbed Daishi and dragged him with as well.

Ranma sweat-dropped, "I actually feel sorry for those guys." Everyone nodded that heard him.

The rat trio sitting by the tree just blinked and shrugged. What had happened seemed to be the norm around this place and they didn't pay much attention to it, even the screams that came from the Dojo they just ignored.

Meanwhile in Hokkaido . . .

Gothwrain sneered, according to all the reports; those three children had ignored his message and not came back. He quickly looked into his crystal ball and saw the three of them by a tree with no one around. Gothwrain smirked, "Perfect. They're alone and I'll be able to take care of them with no interference." He teleported himself right in front of the rat trio.

The three eeped as they saw the High Elder of the Wererats right in front of them, everyone else just blinked as they saw an old rat dude appear out of nowhere, everyone but Theo, who narrowed his eyes and spit out the person's name, "Gothwrain." The High Elder was one of the few people that Theo had ever met that he would like dead.

Gothwrain looked at the three children, his anger blinding him to everything else around him. "You three have caused me enough trouble as it is! Prepare to meet the same fate as your parents did at my hands!" And he started to charge up incredibly powerful magical energies.

The trio gasped and shivered, they finally knew why and how their parents had died. Gothwrain had killed them, and now he was going to kill them. Theo was powering up a spell, but even he knew he couldn't stop Gothwrain in time. 'Damn it! If only I had expected him to come here.'

Just before Gothwrain could finish the spell, a steel knife sliced deeply into his back and disrupted the spell energies. Everyone who saw it looked at Cologne, whose arm was still outstretched. She shrugged, "I always keep a steel knife on hand. It's great protection against mages who come to your house and try and kill you. Though it's only happened once in my life before."

Gothwrain's back flared in pain, he turned around to see what had happened and blanched and nearly crapped all over himself, Werecats, of all types were there, not to mention Dr. Diggers was there as well, and with that knife in his back, he couldn't use magic.

Britanny looked at the man who was responsible, along with Brendan, for the slaughter of her entire clan and people. She growled and ran up to him. Gothwrain fell back in shock, without his magic, he was defenseless, at least to Britanny. She was shaking hard and grabbed him by the throat. "I would kill you, but that's too good for you."

Gothwrain though, was anything but defenseless, even without his magic, he still had one Werecat weapon on him. Unseen to anyone, Gothwrain pulled out a silver dagger and slashed Britanny on the arm that was holding him.

"AAAIIEEEE!" Britanny let go of him and fell to the ground holding her injured arm. Gothwrain moved behind her and placed the silver close to, but not touching, her neck.

"Stay back all of you, or I'll kill her." He planned on killing her anyways, but no one needed to know that. Everyone hesitated, they couldn't move without Gothwrain killing Britanny. Strype started to power up his artifact to move Britanny out of the way, but Gothwrain stopped that, "I may not have access to magic right now, but I can still feel when someone is using extreme power, whether through magic or psychic powers. Power down, or I'll kill her right now."

"Muffin." Britanny said weakly. She knew Gothwrain wouldn't hesitate to kill her at all.

Gothwrain looked around the yard, he blinked when he noticed something, "Hey, wasn't there two male Jagweres before?" Suddenly Gothwrain felt his wrist snap and dislocate, as well as the silver dagger get knocked away from him, but he smelled Soul Char from it. "What the?"

"I said I was going to kick your ass, asshole! I don't care that that hurt me either." Suddenly a pair of invisible fists that materialized into Ranma lifted Gothwrain up. Ranma just growled at him and slammed Gothwrain down onto the ground, almost snapping his neck, and knocking Gothwrain out. "Stay down." He then rubbed the hand that hit the silver weapon, "Damn that hurts."
