One I won't have time for for a long time, if ever...so if you 
like it, feel free.

				The Price of Power

	At the conclusion of a battle with some overpowered mystic 
thingie, there's an explosion.  Ranma throws his body over Akane's to 
protect her, and a shard of something goes through him and into her.  It 
feels like something tore partially out of him, but there's no mark on 
either of them.
	A day or two later, Ranma gets splashed...and nothing happens.  
"I'm cured!"  
	However, the next day a water-related disaster occurs and the 
Tendou and Saotome families are called out to help rescue people.  Akane 
gets separated from the others, and finds a small child trapped beneath 
something too large for her to lift.  No one's in sight to help and she 
begins to panic.  Suddenly, Akane has a surge of adrenaline and is able 
to easily toss the object aside.  As she carries the child to safety, she 
hears a familiar voice.
	"Shoulda known it was too good to last."  Ranma has reverted to 
female form in the cold water.
	Akane thinks it was a freak thing at first, but soon learns that 
whenever she has an adrenaline surge, she becomes faster than a speeding 
bullet, more powerful than a locomotive and able to leap tall buildings 
in a single bound.  Ala the super soba and Ultimate Dougi stories, she 
goes a little powermad, wiping the floor with Shampoo, tying knots in 
Kunou's bokken, that sort of thing.
	However, it's pointed out to her that whenever she uses her 
powers, Ranma changes to girl form.  (After the first couple of times, 
there isn't any coincidental water splash to confuse the issue.)  Akane 
is apologetic for not noticing, Ranma both grouses and tries to reassure 
her.  "It ain't like I'm not kinda used to it."  Akane tries to be more 
moderate in the use of her powers for a while.
	But then superpowered criminals start popping up in Tokyo, and 
possibly a small alien invasion...  Akane has to do something, and as 
"Mighty Girl", she can.
	Unfortunately, the more Akane uses her powers, the longer Ranma 
stays in girl form...and the more stereotypically feminine he starts to 
act.  And he's not always snapping all the way back between times...  It 
becomes painfully evident that Akane's powers are feeding off Ranma's 
masculinity, and he's beginning to lose his reserves.
	Akane is about to vow to never use her powers again--when it's 
revealed the overpowered mystic thingy from the opening, nastier than 
ever, is heading for Tokyo.  The military is helpless.  Only Mighty Girl 
can save the day...but if she does, she might lose the man she's grown 
to love forever.

SKJAM!
