Chapter 1
A red light flashed as the dimly lit cargo area of the
plane started to get active. The people being carried
went through final safety inspection of their gear.
Giving a signal the others took out and put on their
masks and night vision goggles. They watched as the
cargo bay doors opened in the plane. A blast of
arctic air blew through the cabin as it swirled around
them. As they looked on not affected by the wind and
cold due to their insulation suits.
The green light flashed as one by one they jumped out
of the plane. From an elevation of ten thousand feet,
they plummeted to the ground. Barreling at an extreme
speed, at the last minute pulled their cords to
release the chutes. Slowly descending they surveyed
the area of the base. Reaching a safe enough
distance, they pulled another cord that released their
chute as they fell and landed safely on the ground.
Landing four of the six-team members shot off in
different directions. The two that stayed behind, as
they walked up a little hill to get a better vantage
point. Looking over to the right, the tower guard was
quickly taken out. By the main entrance a Bonbouri
was crashing a couple of skulls in.
Two guards ran from the Heli pad that lied in the
middle of the base. They were trying to intercept two
of his members. Watching with interest, five guards
surrounded them. With a quick slash and a powerful
snap the five guards fell to the ground. As quick as
the siege started it was over.
Taking off his glasses and mask. Ryouga had a smile
on his face. Fox Hound was the best covert op team in
the world. Only the highest-ranking officials knew of
their existence. They were usually only sent out into
the world to complete the missions deemed impossible.
Taking a couple of steps forward, he looked over the
base. The main building was straight ahead of him.
He knew what was being created within the base. To
his left was a warehouse, and the centered lied the
heli pad.
"What are my orders sir?"
Ryouga sighed, "Just be alert for any ambushes."
With a hint of Annoyance, "Yes Sir!"
"Sir, the grounds are cleared. Everyone^�s waiting for
further orders."
Staring at him was his second in command, she
definitely had an aura of confidence and power to her.
She was bred to be a leader in a world of men.
Giving her a nod, she quickly moved and knocked out
the girl behind Ryouga. Dropping the girl to the
girl, Ryouga cringed. "Sorry, you^�re a good soldier,
but you weren^�t suppose to be on this mission."
Standing next to Ryouga, Shampoo had the unconscious
girl slung over her shoulder. Looking up at her
commander, he had a look of a warrior. His face was
hardened from the years of combat. For some reason he
always wore a yellow bandanna around his head. There
were some rumors that she heard that he had the worst
sense of direction in the world. Nobody would confront
him with this, since they were all afraid of him. "I
still say you should kill her."
Ryouga looked down, "You are here to follow your
orders," smiling at her "understand, you know where to
take her."
Cringing at the hidden message behind his statement,
"Yes sir."
Ryouga smiled, "It^�s time," taking out a radio, he
turned the knob to the right frequency.
<"Sir">
"I expect this base to be cleansed within the hour.
You know who to keep alive." Turning off the radio,
"Let^�s go."
They walked across the heli pad to the front doors to
the main building. The security of the base was not
heavy. The government felt the less attention drawn
to one place the better. As he approached his team
members. "What do you say we introduce ourselves."
Taking out a card key he opened the doors.
As they walked in, helicopters could be heard in the
distance. Ryouga smiled, everything was going just as
he planned. As they walked in the doors shut behind
them.

0600
Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself.
Concentrating on the piece of wood before him. With a
few motions, he tapped a series of points as the piece
of wood split into quarters. Taking the wood, he
piled them up along the side of his house.
He^�d been living there for a few months. It was the
perfect place to get away from everything. Living the
life he had made him lose a part of his humanity.
Hoping that living in the Alaskan wilderness would let
him get a little bit of it back.
Taking a moment to relax, he looked up at the
snow-covered trees. There was a pretty good snowstorm
that blew through the night, leaving the trees covered
with snow. Suddenly looking up, he sensed something
coming. Ignoring it he placed another piece of wood
on the chopping block.
The trees started to sway as the wind picked up a
little. A helicopter rose over the trees as it
circled around the house. Finding a spot it could
safely land, the helicopter set down as a figure
emerged from the aircraft.
Sensing the approach of somebody, who he already know
who it was, "The answer is no."
"Ranma, this is very serious."
Turning around, "Look Colonel Tendo, I told you I^�ve
retired. I^�m not in the business anymore."
"Just hear me out. Last night Fox Hound was sent on a
black op covert operation. At 0200 we received a
message from Fox Hound leader stating that they have
nuclear capabilities and are willing to fire them. We
need you to suit up again, you^�re the only one who
could accomplish this mission."
Turning around, "I said I^�m not interested."
Giving the signal, two darts shot out from the
helicopter. Turning around Ranma caught the darts
before they could reach him. What he didn^�t know was
the third sniper hidden in the woods. Ranma was hit
in the back shoulder as he fell over unconscious.
Waving his hand, three guys ran out of the aircraft as
they picked up Ranma carrying him inside. Waling
behind them, "Sorry, you don^�t realize what^�s at
stake." As he climbed in, the helicopter rose into the
air, taking off with great speed.

0900
The Ohio Class nuclear submarine was making its way
slowly through the Bering Sea. Inside in one of the
holding cells, Ranma lies on a bed as he slowly opened
his eyes. Looking around he held his head as the room
was spinning. Sitting up, he swung his legs around as
his feet touched the cold floor. Sitting there he
realized that he was naked. His hair was unbraided as
it hung down hiding some of his face.
The vertigo sensation he was feeling subsided as he
noticed the camera in the corner of the room.
"Getting an eye full."
The door opened as the Colonel walked in. "Ahhh, I^�m
glad your up. Sorry about the extreme measures we
took. This was one mission you couldn^�t refuse."
Looking at the man before him, "Tell me, you couldn^�t
have been happy living in that place by yourself."
"You^�d be surprised."
Walking up to Ranma, "Come on, You^�re a soldier^�"
Interrupting, "Was"
Continuing, "You still are. You live for the fight,
the battle. Living out there in the middle of nowhere
is not a life for you." Letting what he said sink in
for a bit. "You retired a year ago, but deep down
inside, you yearned to get back into the action."
Ranma thought about what the Colonel had said. A part
of him knew what he was saying was true. Even though
he didn^�t like it, this was a mission he had to take,
whether he liked it or not. "What^�s the plan?"
"I^�m glad you were able to see it our way. Right now
we^�re heading in the Bering Sea. Your destination is
a small island off the coast of Alaska. 0100 hours
Special High Tech Unit Fox Hound was sent to
infiltrate a hidden nuclear weapons disposal site.
Their mission was to discover what was really
happening. 0300 we received word from Fox Hound
leader Ryouga,"
^�Ryouga?! Where do I know that name from^� Ranma was
thinking to himself.
"We received a message that they had nuclear weapons.
In Twenty four hours they will fire the weapons if we
don^�t hand over the remains of your father."
"My father?! What the fuck would they want with his
bones."
"That^�s one of your objectives, to find out what they
want with Genma and two if they have the capabilities
to launch a nuclear strike."
Just staring at the wall, Ranma was wondering what
they would want with his father. He died on the field
years ago. "If they took over the island, why don^�t
you just do an air strike."
"Not an option, we can^�t afford to accidentally
detonate one of those warheads. It could start a
chain reaction that would cause a major catastrophe to
Asia and Russia, not to mention here. No, this is a
one man mission."
Looking up, "Yeah lucky for me."
Looking at his watch, "It^�s 0900, at 1100 your going
to be heading for the island. Your final briefing
will be at 1030. Go get cleaned up and then train in
the VR room for an hour. You^�ll visit the doctor
after that."
"You don^�t mean?" Getting excited.
"Yes, she^�s here." Tossing Ranma a pair of shorts and
a T-shirt. "Change into these. You^�ll get your gear
before you get into the VR room." Opening the door he
was about to walk out, "Remember the bridge at 1030,"
as he walked out, the door shut behind him.
Looking around he put on the shirt and shorts and
walked out of the room. Heading to the shower room.
To quickly take a shower and clean up. It^�s been
awhile since he saw any action, maybe he missed it
after all.

0915
He stood in front of the VR room as the door slid
open. Stepping into a fairly dark room as he smiled
at whom was sitting behind the monitor console.
Looking up from the screen with a huge smile on her
face, "Hey Ranma-baby."
"Hey yourself good looking."
Nabiki stood up as she hugged Ranma, holding him for a
long time. Releasing him, as she looked up at his
beautiful blue eyes. "When was the last time,
Bangkok."
"Yeah, that was a fun night."
Tracing her finger along his chest, "Yes it was."
Sitting back down at the monitor. "Well I wish we
could make up on lost time, but business first."
Ever since they left Japan way back when he was
fourteen. They were trained in specific areas of the
military. He was trained to be a covert operative
along with Akane. While Kasumi and her natural talent
for healing and became the top physician for Fox
Hound. Nabiki though had a shrewd and conniving
ability to outwit her opponents. She had a natural
way of reading what the enemy was thinking and going
to plan before they even knew. Even though she was a
civilian. Nabiki had the highest rank offered.
"What^�s your part on this mission?"
Looking up for the screen. "I^�ll be your
communication." Pointing to a briefcase lying against
the wall, "That^�s your gear. You^�ll have a thermal
insulation suit and boots. These should protect you
from the water and freezing elements." Giving him a
smile, "Go try it on."
Walking over, he bent down and unlocked the case.
Inside he found underwear, socks and the suit. Taking
off his clothes, he turned around and smiled.
Catching Nabiki staring at him, "Getting a good look."
"Yeah," Looking at him dreamily, "brings back
memories. Maybe we can relive old times when you get
back."
"Maybe."
She watched as Ranma changed into his gear. She^�ll
never admit it to him or anybody else, but at one time
she fell in love with him. Who was she kidding, she
was still crazy for the man. Who would have known if
it weren^�t for their current profession they maybe
would have gotten married? Snapping herself back to
attention, "You^�ll be going through five levels in the
simulation. I will call out your objective after each
level is completed."
Turning around he stood in front of Nabiki, he was
wearing a black suit with black boots. Standing there
fitting his gloves. The suit was snug and felt
comfortable in all of the right places.
"Looking good," as she pressed a button. Watching
Ranma walk through the door as it closed behind him.
Typing in some code, she started the program.
***
1000
"How^�s he doing?"
"For being retired, he still moves with amazing speed.
He went through the first four levels with ease.
He^�s just started level five."
"Excellent, when he^�s done send him to Kasumi." As he
watched Ranma for a bit longer, satisfied of what he
saw. Colonel turned and left the room.
"Yes daddy." Turning back to the monitor as Ranma was
stealthily weaving through the room with amazing
skill.
***
1015
Walking through the room he was greeted by the warmest
smile, "Good Morning Ranma."
"Good morning Kasumi," he had always loved Kasumi like
a mother. Since he learned that his real mother was a
spy, he never really saw much of her. It was hard to
find out that he was a product of a one-night stand.
He^�d only met her a few times. During their training,
Kasumi assumed the role of mother. This made her a
natural choice to be a physician of Fox Hound. Even
though she disliked violence, she never could turn her
back on her family.
"I hope you^�ve been taking good care of yourself?"
"I manage," Ranma^�s spirit couldn^�t help but rise when
he was around Kasumi.
"That^�s good." As she gave him a gentle smile. "Now
roll up your sleeve."
Rolling up his sleeve, Ranma watched as Kasumi gave
him an injection. "What^�s this."
"It^�s a little serum I perfected. It helps the body
regulate temperature." Wiping his arm down. "You
should be able to handle extreme temperature without
feeling any effects. Well your done, I think father
wanted to see you now."
"Thanks Kasumi."
Smiling she leaned over and gave him a hug.
Whispering in his ear, "You take care of yourself,
Okay."
Releasing the hug, Ranma went and slid off of the
examining table and headed out the door. Kasumi
watched as the doors closed behind Ranma. Her smile
turned into a frown as she went to the clean up the
room.

1030
"This is your target," as Colonel Soun pointed to an
area on the map. "A small island off the coast of
Alaska." Pushing a button the image zoomed to an
overhead view of the island. "This is your target. A
secret nuclear disposal site," as the image panned to
an overhead view of the base. "You have two
objectives; to find out if they have the ability to
fire the missiles and to find out what they want with
your father." Turning the map off, he turned to
Ranma, "You remember why we were assigned to Japan."
"Yeah, you wanted to know why people in the area were
superb fighters."
"No, not just superb, but the best. This was the
reason why we trained under Master Happosai. To learn
of his secrets, we couldn^�t have imagined the horror
of his training brought."
After that day we left Japan, the government decided
to make a little trip back. Fox-Hound^�s made up of
the people who we found on our trip back." Pressing a
button, the screen came back on. The video ran a
sequence, on the screen was some guy and a very
beautiful girl. The guy was wearing a blue samurai
outfit and carrying a wooden bokken. She was wearing
a purple leotard spinning what appeared to be a ribbon
around her. "This is Tatewaki and Kodachi Kuno,
codename ^�Blue Thunder and Black Rose^�. He^�s an
expert swordsman, his skills are unmatched."
"What about her?" Pointing to Kodachi, "She doesn^�t
seem too bad."
"Uhmm^�you can say she^�s a little psychotic. An
excellent botanist using herbs to create potions and
powders, along with poisons. With her excellent
gymnastic abilities, she^�s even more dangerous than
her brother."
"So she^�s your assassin." Ranma eyed the video.
"Bingo, they^�re father was a multi-millionaire. He
went crazy and left the family fortune to his son and
daughter. Their mother we believe was schizophrenic
and one day committed suicide. Discovering this and
their talents we took them under our protection."
"Of course you did it out of the kindness of your
heart."
"Well^�.um^�." Pressing another button. "Kian-Pu and
Mu-Tsu or Shampoo and Mousse."
Ranma watched the screen, he had to admit that Shampoo
was a very beautiful woman. She had a young face, her
hair was purple, but she had something about her.
Something that emanated power, as if she demanded
respect. The boy had long black hair and was wearing
a Chinese robe. The unusual thing about him was his
bottle size glasses.
"Mousse is n expert a the hidden weapon technique. As
you can see he can pull almost any type of weapon from
his sleeve. His only flaw is that he^�s blind as a bat
without his glasses. One more thing he has an undying
love for Shampoo.
Now Shampoo, don^�t let her beauty fool you. She is
very powerful, her ideal choice of weapon is the
Bonbourri^�s. A very good hand to hand fighter and
almost as strong as you I may say. This is the reason
why she second in command of Fox-Hound." Raising an
eyebrow, do you remember your father was going to take
you to a special training ground in China?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well that was just a story to tell you. The real
reason was that the military heard of a village in the
Qinghai Province of China. The village is called
J0ketsokyou, or the Amazon village. They are a
warrior race of women who pride themselves on being
the strongest fighters. China was getting impatient
and would have eventually took the village over if we
didn^�t step in.
We made an agreement with the Amazon warriors. If we
kept China out, they would provide two of their
strongest fighter of each generation. So the
President made a free trade agreement with China."
"So involuntary servitude," he heard of deals like
this. It was one of the reasons why he wanted out of
the business.
"Please, I like to think they^�re helping out their
country and protecting it^�s best interest." The video
switched off a picture of a boy came up. "This is
Ryouga Hibiki, Fox-Hound leader. He doesn^�t have a
code name, much like you Ranma. We don^�t have video
of him, but I can tell you that he is very strong.
His strength is unimaginable, but what he gains in
strength he lacks in speed. Your much faster, as we
can tell your ki levels are about the same. You can
say he was a lost child. There isn^�t a lot we know
about him, but he was a find."
"So you get these psycopaths and unleash them onto the
world and then expect me to clean it up."
"Hey they went through vigorous training and
examinations. One thing we found was that they were
extremely loyal. This was totally unexpected. That
is the reason why you must find out what they^�re
hidden motive is."
"Yes Sir," Ranma said in a sarcastic tone. Standing
up, he took one last look at Ryouga. There was
something familiar about him and that yellow bandanna.
*****
1045
The Nuclear Class Submarine stealthily moved through
the water, heading toward the small island. Inside
Ranma stepped into a Single Approach Vehicle (SAV).
Equipped with scuba hear, Ranma patiently waited for
the green light.
* Click * < "Ranma can you hear me" >
"Yeah"
* Click * < "The SAV will take you close to the
island. When the light flashes, the unit will release
you. Once your out, you^�ll be swimming the rest of
the way. There^�s an underground cavern that will take
you to the docking bay." >
Ranma felt the vehicle shake as he was launched from
the submarine. The velocity of the vehicle caused
Ranma to shake violently. * click * <This will be the
last transmission till you reach surface. When you
get into the warehouse take the elevator to the
surface. Once you reach the surface contact me via
CODEC, You have fourteen hours. Good luck" >
Sighing, he watched the monitor as he was approaching
the drop off point. Adrenaline was rushing through
his body, as he felt a tinge of nervousness hit him.
He always felt nervous, that was a good thing. It
kept him on his toes at all times. The vehicle slowed
as the hatch popped, filling the capartment with
water. Swimming out he looked around as he saw the
underground cavern. Swimming in, he only had to go a
little as he headed toward the surface. Something was
tingling in him already, he didn^�t know, but he was
having a bad feeling about this mission already.
To be Continued^�.
