Tell me what you think please!  Yes I do have a reason Ranma is acting the way
he is.  No he is not OOC, not if he had lived this long.

Long


November 13, 1998

	"Who are you?" she asked.

	"My name is Ranma Saotome.  It's the least I could do." the man replied. 

	Looking up into Ranma's eyes, "Why help a company like Genom  take over the
world?" Sylia finally managed to get out.   She had never heard of this person
before today and the look in his eyes was not the same as the ones Quincy and
Genom usually employed to do their dirty work.  Looking at him, Sylia was
reminded of her father when he found out what Genom was planning to use his
boomer technology for.  There was really nothing she could do in her current
condition.  After fighting the fake Knight Sabers, her suit was severely
damaged.  Then this man appeared from the shadows and was now standing over
her, one hand on her throat.    

	Lowering his gaze for a moment in shame, Ranma shedded a single tear at what
was about to happen.  Throughout his entire life, Ranma had never actually
killed someone, not counting Saffron because of his unique attributes.  Now
towering over an injured woman, he was going to break not one but two of his
promises.  One never to kill and the other never hit girls or the opposite
sex.  He had his orders and they stated for him to kill her.  Calming himself
down, "Nothing personal," Ranma replied, "This is just something I have to
do."

	Sylia detected a note of dread at the end.  *He doesn't want to kill me,* she
thought.  Trying to think of a way to salvage the situation, Sylia was
surprised to find she could breathe easily again.  For some reason, the man
had released her.

	"You want me to do what?  Stop Largo?  Yes, I'll get right on it." Ranma
answered aloud, he had one hand pressed against his left ear.  Turning back to
Sylvia, "Excuse me, I have to be going." There was a smile on Ranma's face.

* * * * *

	"I don't know who is worse," Quincy thought to himself, "Ranma or Largo's
ego."  

* * * * *

	Looking at one of the Knight Sabers, "Pathetic.  I thought Sylvia had more
sense than hire someone like you.  You are nothing after I broke that toy of
yours." Largo gloated.  

	*Please give me more power.  Anri.  Sylvie.  Enough power to kill this
bastard.* Priss prayed.  

	Walking up to Priss, "Prepare to meet your maker.  A new age is approaching
across the horizon and I shall be the one to lead it.  I am immortal.  I am
GOD!!!" Largo roared, "You, on the other hand, will never see another sunrise
again."  Reaching out with his right hand, intending to crush her throat, he
stopped when a piece of rock impacted his head. 

	Looking over at the source, Largo saw a man leaning against one of the walls.
He was tossing, up and down, another piece of rock.  "Who are you?" Largo
demanded.  *How dare a mere human mock me so,* Largo thought.

	"Run!  He's not what he seems!  He's a boomer!" Priss shouted to the man.
Priss could have sworn she saw him smile when she mentioned that Largo was a
boomer.  *Does he have a death wish?*

	"So you're a boomer then?  This will make my job a lot easier." Ranma said.
Walking in Largo's general direction, "Quincy sent me to deliver a message to
you."

	*He works for Genom,* Priss thought, *And here I was worried about him.  I
hope they kill each other.*  

	"What does the old man want?" Largo asked.

	"You're fired."    

	"This is funny.  Do you know who I am?"

	"An asshole?"

	"Die!" Largo shouted, as he sent two of his boomers at Ranma.

	As both C-20 boomers headed towards Ranma, he just stood still.  Cocking his
head slightly, "Want me to tell you the good and bad points about boomers?"
Ranma asked Priss.

	Confused was the only word that could describe what she was feeling.  *What
is going on here?*

	Taking her silence as a yes, "First boomers are robots and that means killing
them will not bother me in the least and second they break so easily." Ranma
spoke.  To make his point, he waited until both boomers were close enough and
then poked each of them once.  "See?" Ranma ask, before both boomers exploded,
all their electrical parts exploded, taking with them their organic
counterparts.  

	"What!!!  How?" Largo shouted in rage and disbelief.  

	Still smirking, "Wouldn't you like to know," Ranma teased.  Getting a serious
look, "Time to end this." Ranma stated.

	"I couldn't agree, time to die mortal!" Largo shouted.

	"Like you would know anything about immortality," Ranma snarl.

	A bright flash of light was all the warning Ranma received when a bright beam
of light struck him.

	"Hahaha!!!  I am god!" Largo laughed out loud.

	Blinking, "You bastard!  Can't even fight fairly!" Priss shouted, struggling
to get up.  When Priss was about to collapse, a pair of arms steadied her.

	"You shouldn't strain yourself like that," Ranma advised Priss.

	Surprise turned to angry, "Get away from me, you bastard.  Didn't you know
Genom is evil?"

	Shrugging his shoulders, "Doesn't matter to me.  They help me, I help them."
he explained.  Looking over at Largo, "That was a cheap shot.  Now it's my
turn."  Using one hand to hold Priss up, Ranma pointed the other at Largo.
His hands started to glow.  "Die," Ranma spoke, launching a ball of ki energy
at his opponent.  

	As it left his hands, Priss could feel the heat from the ball of energy.
*What is he?*

	Looking over at Largo, there was only a pile of ashes.

	"Chalk one up for the good guys," Ranma cheered.
