Authors note: Hehehehe I ain't done yet, here's an epilogue for all of ya.

All where gathered in the amazon village, many had been wounded and died and there was a lot of sadness. Everyone but Herb, Min and Lime where gathered in the centre of the amazon village, Cologne was standing in the centre to the large group and looked at the people present. "I am proud of everyone here, each and everyone here has fought valiantly in battle and with your help we won. Lothar is no more and the demon threat is gone. Let us rejoice but also do not let us forget the ones who died here on the battle field."

Loud cheers came from the people gathered, all knew that this battle had cost them but they had come victorious and that was what mattered.

Cologne felt happy and sad at the same time, she had lost friends in this battle but had also made new ones. Then she saw someone pushing her way through the croud, heading towards her.

'Elder Cologne!'

'Yes Piu Fum?' Cologne hopped towards the croud as everyone quited down when Piu Fum called for Cologne.

'There's trouble in Herb's castle.' These words made everyone gasp.

Cologne couldn't help but swallow. 'What's the matter?'

'Herb has been attacked by Saffron the Phoenix king. All I know is that Saffron was looking for something supposedly in Herb's possession.'

'I see we must get over there as soon as we can but how? The trip alone would take us a few hours and all are weary from the fight.' Cologne was thinking of a way to get to Herb fast when she saw ranma walk her way. "Ranma I would like to ask for your help again. It seems an enemy of Herb chose this time to attack him at his castle and seeing how much energy Herb had spend during his fight I am sure he is in trouble."

"Say no more I'm on my way." Ranma stepped back and out came his wings, with a few powerfull flaps he was off.

Cologne couldn't help but chuckle as she thought about Ranma meeting the hotheaded Saffron. Holy fire against unhloy fire.

Ranma was making good time and soon he saw the castle appear and he could see the devestation Herb had cause by with his attack. Then as he came closer he saw a large hole in the roof of the casle and from it came a bright light as if the interior was on fire. "What's this, I can't remember this hole?"

He started to descend and landed on the edge of the hole, his wings dissapearing in his back. Peeking in he saw the throne room and it was a mess. He could see Mint and Lime lying on the ground apparently burned badly and soon he saw Herb leaning against the throne also sporting a fair amount of burns. "What's goin on here?" Looking further he soon caught sight of the origin of the glow, a man with large falming wings coming from his back and an aura of fire.

Saffron was furious. "How did your familiy even dare to take away what I and my people need?" Saffron raised his hands and shot a fireball at Herb stiking him in the chest and knocking him inot the wall. Saffron so wanted to kill Herb but he had to suffer for what he had done. Seeing Herb trying to get back up he was about to fire another fireball but was stopped as someone called out.

"Hey you firebird what the hell are you doin?"

Saffron turned around and caught sight of a youngman standing behind him. "Who are you?"

"The name's Ranma Saotome and what are you doing to Herb?" Ranma walked around Saffron and over to Herb and helped him up. "What happened here?"

Herb was relieved when he saw Ranma standing there. "That's Saffron the Phoenix king and he is here to take something back. A few years ago he and I fought and I managed to win and when I did I took some of his blood thinking it could be usefull one day seeing how he is an immortal. He is now here to take it back, having sensed its presence in my castle. The problem is that it's no longer here, Lothar has used it and seeing how you destroyed Lothar the blood it gone."

"Okay I can see why he is pissed at you for stealing something but to get so pissed off at you for stealing some blood. I mean the human body makes new blood doensn't it?" Ranma sat Herb down in the chair and while he did he checked him over. He was covered with lots of bruns and some cuts but nothing to bad. The main problem was that Herb was completely worn out.

"I will tell you why I am so angry mortall." Saffron had heard the conversation and was even more angrier seeing that the man who had destroyed what was his was now here. "I needed that blood because it is more then just blood. I need that blood to make me whole again so that I can controll my powers. You see without it I can not regulate my powers and even the smallest fireball is at full power. But seeing how it seems that you are the one who destroyed that what I needed I am forced to exact revenge." Saffron raised his hand and a fireball began to appear.

"Okay I can see why you're pissed but why take revenge isn't there another way for you to regulate your powers?" Ranma had a feeling that talking to this hot head was not going to work but hey he had to try.

"No there's not, when I transform into my adult state I am bestowed with these powers as well as the controll for them. You destroyed the only chance I had to get controll back and for that you must PAY!" Saffron released his fireball at Ranma.

As Ranma was talking to Saffron he had stepped way from Herb and had made sure that Herb or anyone else would not be in the line of fire. Ranma's senses told him that that fireball was pretty powerfull but still nothing compared to the fires of hell he had at his dissposal. He simply remained where he was as the fireball struck him engulfing him with fire.

Saffron smiled as the fireball struck Ranma. "The puny mortall must have been paralysed with fear seeing how he couldn't move." Saffron started to laugh but stopped when he heard someone laugh behind him. He turned around and saw Herb sitting in his throne laughing while clutching his side. "What's the matter with you?"

"Oh just what you said was so funny, you have no idea who that boy is do you. Let me tell you something, a while ago I attacked that boy and let's just say it had no effect. All I did was make him angry and it resulted in me getting my ass kicked."

"Feh, that's not surprising seeing how you are also but a mortall, I am in a whole different class for I am immortall, I am a holy Phoenix." Saffron laughed again yet he stopped as soon as he sensed something behind him. He turned around and was just in time to see the Ranma step from the flames completely unharmed. "How?!"

"Easy you are nothing compared to me, I wanted to see how strong that fireball of yours was. Let me tell you it was nothing, heck burning my hand on a hot oven hurts more."

"YOU DARE!! How dare a mere mortall speak to a holy being like me with such words?" Saffron aura grew in strength, another fireball appearing in his hand.

"How I dare well that's easy, seeing how you are a holy being well I am the opposite. If what you say is true then your powers are divine and you controll the fires of heavens so to speak. If that's so then I controll the fires of hell." Ranma was calm and relaxed, he could understand why this man was pissed but it was his attitude that pissed him off.

"What?!" Saffron cautiously spread his wings and rose up in the air, taking his dinstance form this boy. There was something to him, something he could not put his finger on.

"That's easy, I'm part demon.Now I want you to get out of here, I'm sorry for destroying your blood but I didn't know about that. I don't want to fight you since I've seen enough fighting the last days and I want some r&r." Ranma made not hostile moves towards Saffron, he just stood there calmly.

Saffron looked down on Ranma and had no idea what to do with this mortal. Part of him wanted to las out at this youngman and obliterate him for what he had done. Yet another heard the truth in Ranma's words. After a few moments he decided to not attack this boy, he did know about the blood it seemed. On the other hand, Herb was the one who had stolen his blood and Saffron still wanted revenge for that. "Very well Ranma Saotome you are not at fault it seems." Saffron aura flared as he roared. "Yet that dragon inbreed is!" He turned to Herb, a huge fireball appearing in his hand.

When Saffron told him he wasn't at fault he felt relieved but as soon as he saw Saffron's aura flare he knew something was going to happen and when Saffron turned to Herb he knew he was going to kill him. His wings shot out from his back and he rocketed towards Saffron hoping to stop him. He shoulder rammed Saffron in the back and that send him flying into a wall.

Saffron was about to incinerate Herb when something or someone hit him in the back hard. The firebal he summoned dissapated and he slammed into a wall. For several moments Saffron was dissoriented but as soon as he got his barings back he turned around and looked for who ever attacked him. He did not have to look long for Ranma was hovering in the spot where he had hovered just moments before.

Saffron saw the wings on Ranma's back and was confused.

Ranma saw the confused look on Saffron's face and smiled. "Hey I did tell you that I am part demon so don't look so surprised. Now before you start lighting candles again I wanna say this. I'm not here for a fight but I will not stand by as you kill a friend of mine. If you try anything again I will fight back and you won't like that."

Saffron's mouth hung open, here was a boy with wings resembeling those of a phoenix yet slightly different. What is he, he said he was part demon but those wings aren't from a demon. Saffron calmed down the anger raging within him as he focussed his holy senses on the boy hovering before him. His eyes widened and he gasped. "By all that's holy." He then saw someone trying to sneak up on Ranma, someone he knew well. "NO KIMA DON'T!"

Kima had stubbornly followed her lord, yet it had taken her a bit longer to arrive. She was just in time to see that young man attack Saffron. She wondered how he came by the wings but cast aside those thoughts. This boy had attacked her lord and she would not let something like that slide. She was sneaking closer and closer and held her sword ready to attack. She was about to attack when Saffron called out to her. She stopped and looked up at Saffron. "But my lord?!"

"No buts Kima, this boy is not to be harmed, he is the one spoken of in our legends." Saffron could see that Kima was still hesitating. "Have you not payed attention during our history classes? He is the one who would defeat the darkness, he is a PERFECT being."

When Saffron's words reached her her body froze, memories of lessons learned years ago came back. "H-h-h-he is the one spoken of in legends?"

Saffron nodded as he floated down to the ground. "Yes I am sure of it." He then turned back to ranma and looked into his eyes onloy to further confirm his suspisions. "I am sorry for all of this Ranma Saotome. It is just that without that part of me I cannot be of any proper use to my people. Without the ability to regulate my powers I am useless."

Ranma was puzzled why they called him a perfect being, sure he had been called that when he was fighting Lothar but how did they know of that? Also it seemed that Saffron now no longer mad. "Have you ever tried and controll your powers, I mean sure a small part of you might be missing but I am sure that your mind can controll your powers as well. Heck maybe if you practise that missing part might come back again. When my powers first came out I blew up a appartment complex and as time passed I got better at controlling them. Sure you might not be human but neither am I and I am sure that with practise you will ragain controll."

Saffron listened to Ranma's words and had to ackowledge the truth in them. He had never thought ot practicing to controll them, it didn't seem fitting for royalty. Yet now hearing those words spoken he decided to give it a try, he would be there for his people. "Your words are truthfull Ranma, I will do as you suggest." From a corner of his eyes Saffron saw Herb getting up and walking towards him. His aura immediately blazed.

Herb had listened to Ranma's words, he remembered the task the Phoenix King was to fulfill for his people. He got up and started of in Saffron's direction. He saw Saffron's aura flare and he spread his arms, showing he had no hostile intentions. "Lord Saffron, I do not wish to fight you, my people are scattered and wounded and I want to help them. Yet they need more help then I can give, therefor I wish to ask you something." Herb swallowed hard, a part of him was protesting against what he was about to do but he had to do it, for his people. He stopped in front of Saffron, ignoring the heat and anger in Saffron's eyes. "Lord Saffron I ask, no beg for your help, please help us rebuild our homes. Please help me to give a home once again to my people." Herb's head was hung low.

Saffron was completely caught of guard by Herb's words, they're people had been enemies for years yet here was the King of the Musk asking him for help, no even begging. "And what should I get in return?"

Herb raised his head and looked straight inot Saffron's eyes as his eyes began to brun with ki. "I will help you to controll your powers. They are a lot like the ki that flows within me and with the knowledge of the dragons I posses I am sure we will be able to restore controll of your powers to you. We have been at war for far to long, it's time peace came in its place, what do you say?" Herb stood back up and held out his hand.

Saffron had to agree, Herb's knowledge with ki could help out greatly and indeed the war between their people had been going on for to long. Looking from Herb's hand to his eyes he took Herb's hand and shook it. "Yes it's time for peace, I welcome any help you can give and promise to do as much as I can to help rebuild your homes. Now let us go outside and tell your and my people."

Herb nodded and together they turned around, standing there was Ranma who had been watching the scene unfld before him. "Thank you Ranma, for everything. If there ever is anything I can do for you let me know."

"No problem I will but first help your people, they've been through much." Ranma then looked at Saffron and grinned. "Hey and if Firebird there ever wants to feel some real heat let me know. I will heat him up for free."

Kima was shaken from her thoughts by Ranma's words and glared at him. How dare he insult Lord Saffron like that? She was about to lash out when a hand on her shoulder turned her around. She found herself looking into Saffron's eyes.

"Kima I want you to go back and tell our people to expect me back soon, with Herb. Telll them that the war is over and that a time of peace has come upon us. Can you do that?"

Kima blushed as Saffron had yet to release her shoulder. "Y-yes my lord." She felt relieved yet saddened too as Saffron let go of her shoulder. Spreading her wings she took to the skies and headed home. Hundreds of thought flashing through her head.

Saffron then looked at Ranma and saw him standing there, his wings spread. "Thank you Ranma."

"Uhm sure even though I don't really know what yer thankin me for." Ranma shrugged and slowly took of. "Remember if ya ever need help ya know where to find me?" With those words Ranma was off, a firey streak in the sky. Soon Ranma reached the amazon village again and as he landed Akane came walking up to him.

With two voices blended into one she spoke. "Welcome back Ranma, let's go home."
