Happosai, Genma and Soun were each staring down Quan Chi's servants as they prepared to attack them. Even though Sareena, Jaataka and Kia caught Happosai's eye earlier, he had to toughen up.

"I see these girls are more than they're worth," Happosai told his students. "Unlike Akane and my sweet Ranma, these girls mean serious business."

"Come now, Master," Genma laughed. "They're women. They're weaker than us."

"Now's not the time for chauvinistic boasts, Saotome," Soun warned. "Need I remind you that these three women are savage killers! It's best not to anger them already!"

"You worry yourself, Tendo," Genma smiled. However, Genma's boasting earned him rapid-fire punches by Jaataka knocking his ego and his body out cold. Jaataka then kicked Genma into a nearby river.

"Think we're weak now, you old fool?" Jaataka laughed as she delighted in knocking out Genma.

"We're wasting time with these pathetic mortals!" Sareena ordered. "Let's kill them and return to Quan Chi!"

Soun took the defensive and prepared for the fight of his life. However, Happosai had a plan. He unpacked his knapsack. Buried underneath his stash of stolen girls' underwear were a barrage of his patented fireworks bombs, the Happo Daikarin.

"Soun, grab Genma as soon as you can!" Happosai barked.

"Be careful, Master," Soun nodded.

"OK, ladies, get ready for the show of a lifetime!" Happosai boomed. "Founding School of Anything-Goes Martial Arts Final Technique: Happo Fire Burst!"

Soun jumped out of the way as Happosai's fireworks bombs blew up in the faces of Quan Chi's assassins. Soun managed to drag Genma out of the river, but not before Genma's Jusenkyo curse struck again. Genma groaned in agony as Soun was a bit disgusted with Genma's judgmental views.

"Anything you wish to say, Saotome?" Soun said angrily.

"This shouldn't happen to a panda…" Genma's sign read.

Happosai figured the explosions would've at least injure the lethal ladies, but to his surprise, they strutted out of the explosion looking flawless and unblemished.

"How is that possible?!" Happosai snarled. "Those blasts have injured some of my students in the past! How?!"

"We're just highly skilled, ancient one," Sareena said with a smirk, then she pulls out a large hunting knife and lunged toward the perverted master.

Happosai managed to get out of the way, but not before his bag was cut slightly open.

"You ungrateful vixen!" Happosai cried out. "That was my best sack! It held so much underwear for all those years!"

"Your perverse mannerisms and your life end today, old fool!" Sareena boomed. However, before she attacked, Soun managed to surprise Sareena by blocking the knife with a kodachi. Genma, infuriated from earlier, charged with primal rage at Jataaka, using his claws to try and crush her to death, but Jataaka was too quick and unleashed a lightsaber to try and slice Genma. The panda jumped back in horror after seeing Jataaka's sword.

"Who is she, a Sith Lord?!" Genma's sign read.

"Genma, there's no time for cold paws!" Happosai ordered. "Get those vile temptresses or else!"

Genma had no choice but to assist Soun in fending off Quan Chi's assassins. Soun and Genma managed to get a few lucky shots in, but the lethal ladies were still unfazed. While, Genma and Happosai were wearing out, Soun noticed Kia in the far back radiating a strange aura.

"Master! Genma! I have it!" Soun said. "I know a way we can defeat these harlots!" Genma and Happosai listened to Soun's plan, and loved the idea so much.

Genma then proceeded to throw Happosai like a baseball into's Kia's direction. Then, the perverted master latched himself onto Kia which got her distracted. Sareena and Jataaka tried to pull Happosai off, but true to his nature he won't let go. This gave Soun and Genma ample time to throw the Happo Daikarin right at the assassins. In a loud explosion, all three assassins were severely injured in the blast.

"At last, a successful battle!" Soun cheered. Genma waved fans around cheering alongside him. "It was a shame to sacrifice the Master to perform such a feat, but whatever it takes to survive."

"Couldn't have said it better myself," Genma's sign read, knowing that he and Soun wanted to be rid of Happosai one way or the other. Unfortunately for the two, Happosai emerged from the rubble, redder than a boiled Maine lobster.

"You ungrateful ingrates!" Happosai snarled. "How dare you use my weapons against me?!"

"But, Master," Soun said, trying to be sincere. "we did this to stop that Kia girl from using her healing powers."

"Yeah, what he said," Genma's signs said. "Would this face lie?"

Out of the rubble, Sareena and Jataaka barely climbed out dragging out an unconscious Kia.

"We'll report this unfortunate incident!" Jataaka barked out.

"When Quan Chi hears of this matter," Sareena declared, "you'll wish that you were better off dead!"

As the assassins retreated out of Nerima, Soun, Genma and Happosai walk off lucky to escape. Soun manages to get some hot water to transform Genma back to normal. Happosai forgave them as they did stop Quan Chi's assassins, but they still have to help him on his panty raids as punishment.

"Had I known we'd help the Master with his raids," Genma murmured, "we would've been better off with those assassins."

"For now, at least we're safe," Soun replied. "I hope Ranma, Akane and the others managed to survive their battles as well."

Elsewhere, Akane, Shampoo and Ukyo were trying to hold their own against the strongest of the Black Dragons, but with Kabal's blinding speed, the odds were stacked against the 3 girls. However, before Kabal tried for another run, a tomahawk came flying and landed on Kabal's armor. This shocked the Black Dragons, giving Akane, Shampoo and Ukyo free shots at them. The Black Dragons had to regroup to prepare for a new intruder that saved the girls from a humiliating defeat.

"Who dares to interfere?!" Kabal demanded. "Show yourself!"

Out of the shadows came a Native American warrior with a wolf walking by his side. The girls stop to look at him and wonder what brought him to Shanghai. The Black Dragons instantly recognize him as Nightwolf, one of the warriors who fight for Earthrealm.

"Such cowardice is to be expected of the Black Dragon," Nightwolf said coldly. "Battles always seem to work in your favor if you outnumber your opponents."

"You will regret your decision, Nightwolf!" Kabal groaned, pulling Nightwolf's tomahawk out of his armor.

Normally, Akane would throw a fit about having outsiders interfere in her fights, but considering the Black Dragons are a different league than all her opponents back home, she decided to be grateful to Nightwolf.

"Thank you for saving us," Akane spoke softly.

"Apologies are unnecessary," Nightwolf replied. "I simply despise cowards who use numbers to subjugate their opponents. But, you are quite welcome."

"Well, now that that's settled, how about we kick some Black Dragon ass?" Ukyo roared.

"Shampoo ready for rematch against cheater girl now!" Shampoo said enthusiastically.

"And we got unfinished business on our parts!" Ukyo added. "You think you can handle Darth Vader over there?"

"I can match Kabal speed for speed," Nightwolf answered. "I shall assist you in your battle."

"Then let's show the Black Dragons what payback is!" Akane called out as she, Shampoo, Ukyo and Nightwolf began to engage the Black Dragon leaders after the sides are now even.
