"I wa` ri`... she's def`nat`y fema`" he heard a slurred voice state. He instantly recognised it as belonging to that agent who had tricked him. He didn't have to like being kidnapped, but if all their agents were as smart and willing to do the job as she was then there were worse groups of people to be defeated by. 'Yes, I am definitely getting to like that woman.' he thought with an indulgent smirk before allowing himself to return to sleep. Now that he had been captured he didn't have to worry about avoiding it and he already knew he could escape whenever he wanted to. 'After all... I've still got my trump card...'

"So what's the details about our chameleon in there?" Operations asked as he stared at the bed the recent arrival still slept upon.
The woman sharing the darkened room with him paused thoughtfully as she too stared into the lighted room, "For starters she is most definitely female. We haven't figured out yet how she can imitate a larger male but we will run further tests once she awakens. As for her other... abilities... we found no traces of any physical aids either chemical or mechanical in nature within her body structure. It seems she somehow has figured out how to control her (extremely healthy, might I add) body to harness and release the 'energy'."
"Incredible. Now if only we could duplicate this with all our agents.." Operations mused out loud.
"I sincerely doubt it would work..." the woman said with a sigh, "from the results we've managed to get back, her abilities are from a unique mixture of many things. So far we've been able to possibly account for most of it by genetics, training, discipline, and diet but even then it doesn't completely add up to the same results in our simulations. No, what we have here is a miracle and I say we use her now that we have her."
"It will be difficult to contain someone like her..." the man mused. "And almost impossible to reshape her into a willingness to help the section. In fact I dare-say she might be even more of a trial than Nikita herself was..."
"You could well be right." the woman was silent for a moment before continuing, "It's funny that the harder of a time we have of creating an agent, the better they eventually become... first came Michael and look at the result we have from all our work. Next came Nikita... I lost track of the amount of times we almost gave her up for a lost cause and yet she's almost reached the same level as Michael already. Just imagine the results this one may obtain for us.."
"Yes, perhaps the risk is worth the possible reward with ones such as these. Very well Madeline you may transfer her to the field agent training regiment."
"I thought you would say that... it's already been done." she replied without emotion as she continued to stare down at their newest addition to the family.
"Sometimes I'm not sure whether to kiss you... or kill you."
"Good, then I'm doing my job right."

Ranma finally awoke to a blinding headache as his eyes grew accustomed to horribly bright unnatural lighting that filled the room 'she' was imprisoned within.
"Ah, I see you are finally waking up." an unknown female voice noted.
Ranma turned to grin at the 'hidden' window causing the occupants to become a little confused as no one else had ever figured out about that little enhancement to the room, and also that 'she' could continue to grin after having been captured by her own over-confidence.
"Actually I woke up from your stuff a long time ago. I just had gone a long time without sleeping and decided to make it up now since I don't know when I'll get anymore after I decide to escape." Ranma replied with a chuckle.
"Being a little over-confident again, aren't you?" the woman asked.
"Not at all, I still have a few secret aces in the hole that I doubt you all have been witness to..." she smiled at the fake wall as she continued, "I assume that by now you have already had a thorough medical examination done upon me and have discovered my 'true' gender?" she asked with an enigmatic smile.
"Yes, you are a very healthy young woman indeed."
"Mm..." Ranma nodded her acknowledgement, "well then I don't have to tell you of the one 'sure-fire' way of keeping a chameleon of a girl such as myself locked in here. After all if it's so very obvious what gender I am if I escaped all you would have to do is have a gender check at the clearing points and I couldn't get through..." she shrugged as if she didn't care.
"Yes, we thought of that..." the voice replied.
"I'm warning you now, by the way, that I'm going to make a total of two escape attempts.. neither of which I'd bet to be stopped. However, if you people somehow manage to keep me here through both of them... well then I'd guess you're good enough to keep me and I won't try a third time. I realise you stand nothing to lose and everything to gain by this but you're in power and deserve the better odds, as a certain woman I know would say, do you not?"
"That's certainly very... generous... of you." the voice replied with a sound of humor ringing true.
"Yes it is isn't it?" she smiled, "Oh before you go... please give my regards to that woman who managed to trick me into here. Can't help but admire someone willing to drug themself in order to take a target down." and with that Ranma turned away from the fake wall and lay back chuckling to herself.
Just as the people within the secret room were about to leave, she stopped laughing for a moment.
"Remember what I said... two attempts... the first of which will be tonight..." then went back to chuckling.
-=- -=- -=- - * - -=- -=- -=-
"She's certainly confident about herself isn't she?"
"Yes... and that worries me." the woman stopped and thought to herself for a moment, "I hadn't thought before now about security but she was right about how to avoid her escape... see to it that gender checks are carried out at all exits from this point on. And stop any females pretending to be male." she states into a microphone and watches several figures scurry to complete her orders.
"Smart... but I thought you agreed when she said we had probably already done so..." he laughs quietly, "ah, I see..."
"Yes, now she thinks we came up with something which we didn't.. which means she will respect us more. Plus by simply agreeing to everything she says security wise we learn of even better ways to stop her..." the woman stares back at the girl in the containment room with an enigmatic smile on her face.
-=- -=- -=- - * - -=- -=- -=-
'Just about now they should have the new security system set up.' Ranma smirked to himself at how easy this escape would be thanks to the "knowledge of his 'true' gender".
Ranma walked over to the fake wall and knocked to draw their attention.
"Yes?" a new, unfamiliar voice replied.
"Can I have something hot to drink please? All that ice cream earlier has really made my insides freeze... some coffee or cocoa... hot tea perhaps...?" Ranma resisted the urge to use his smile to back up the request due to the likelihood of it giving his intentions away.
There was a short silence before the original voice gave the affirmative aloud.
After smiling at the secret room for a moment Ranma walked over to his bed and stripped it of the sheets. He then walked over to the secret glass wall and with a cheerful wave and a wink, began to cover the view of his room.
-=- -=- -=- - * - -=- -=- -=-
"You realise of course that this is her first escape attempt." one person stated with an amused voice.
"It had crossed my mind..." the woman replied with her own droll humor as she smirked at the viewing wall which was covered well enough to render it useless.
"You're thinking of letting her try...?"
The woman shrugged then said in a careless manner, "I like the initiative and spirit she is showing here. Besides... we've sealed off all the exits from her chameleon pretending scheme thanks to that gender check. I say we let her try and use her attempt to discover how lax our security is down here..." she said with an amused tone while her face remained impassive. "Besides... even if she somehow does manage to escape she still has the tracker under her skin. Without knowing it, she just lost that bet regardless of her own skills..."
"I do love the way you think sometimes..."
-=- -=- -=- - * - -=- -=- -=-
Ranma waited patiently for her order to arrive knowing that with it's arrival he would finally be free of this place.
'It all relies upon whether I judged that woman correctly or not. If she added the security measures I offered, as if accidentally, and if she was affected by my cavalier attitude about my capture, and most important of all is if she's as confidant of my inability to escape as I am of them not being able to hold me.'

[Beginning of a scene possibly unsuitable for younger audiences.]
Grumbling a man entered the room Ranma was being kept in.' Why do I have to be her maid?' he thought. Just then he caught sight of first her renovations then the captive herself as she lay on the bed with her eyes closed.' I don't know who this girl is but she just made a huge mistake.' he thought with a gleeful grin as he realized that as long as he kept it quiet no one would ever know what exactly had occurred within the room. Quickly he set the tray on the floor and quietly he walked over to the bed after undoing his pants. 'You and me are going to have some 'fun' little girl.'
He reached out and grabbed hold of her neck and grinned sadistically down at the girl as his other hand started to open the shirt she had been changed into.
"Oh yeah.. for such a small girl you certainly are well developed. I'm going to enjoy you..." he smirked as his hands groped at her chest. Somewhere in the back of his mind alarm bells were going off but he ignored them. After all he was in control and she wasn't fighting back.' She must be too terrified of what's happening.' he decided.
-=- -=- -=- - * - -=- -=- -=-
Inwardly, Ranma was both seething and snickering at what this man was doing to 'her'.' He must not have been told how badly I could mess him up yet...' He really wanted to just tear this guy apart but he needed to take this man out without a single sound and the only way to do that was if his mouth was occupied with something.' But if he even tries to actually do it all bets are off!' he snarled mentally to himself.
And so Ranma reluctantly just allowed for the pawing of 'her' body and the removal of 'her' clothing as he waited for the moment he would strike, all along he kept up a look of frightened horror upon 'her' face.' On the plus side every piece of clothing he removes from either of us is one less I'll have to remove later when I switch clothes with him...'
-=- -=- -=- - * - -=- -=- -=-
The man gleefully removed the 'frightened' girl's skirt and panties and then stared at red locks he revealed. He plucked at a few hairs making the girl squirm in discomfort. Finally, he lowered his head to suck upon one of the girl's breasts at the same time he positioned himself for entering.
Suddenly the body beneath him which had up until now only slightly shivered in fear and drawn back in horror, erupted into a fury of attacks. As he was blacking out he tried to call out for help, forgetting that his mouth was currently full of her body.
-=- -=- -=- - * - -=- -=- -=-
Ranma spat in disgust upon the face of the comatose form of the man. 'Pig! Even the old pervert isn't as disgusting as you are!'
Quickly Ranma finished removing the clothes from the man and then put them on. Next, simply as punishment for what he had attempted, Ranma tugged the panties and skirt upon his unmoving body and then used his air pressure trick to 'tattoo' the words "attempted rapist" on both his chest and his face.
After spitting once more onto the unconscious man, Ranma quickly picked up the contents on the tray and splashed it upon himself. Then with a final look of anger and disgust at the sleeping pervert, he exited the room and began to make his escape.
[End of scene possibly unsuitable for younger audiences.]
-=- -=- -=- - * - -=- -=- -=-
'Damn!' Ranma cursed to himself as he heard the language being used. Why did I have to always sleep in Ms. Hinako's classes?!
As he walked over to the checkout point for leaving the complex he listened to what the people ahead of him were saying and doing and hoped for the best as he "winged it".
"NEXT!" the grumbling attendant stated. 'This security check is stupid.. if Madeline and Operations hadn't ordered it themselves I'd just refuse to do this!' He looked up at the oriental man whom he didn't recognise. "Open your shirt and pants for identification." he muttered under his breath as much as he dared.
"You kidding right?" Ranma asked as well as he could in English.
"I wish... orders from up top... something about a girl who tries to imitate males." the agent rolled his eyes as the two men both chuckled.
Shrugging as if to say "this is stupid" Ranma quickly did as he asked and showed that he clearly was indeed male.
"Alright you can pass... and good luck on the mission!" he cheerily called out to the departing escapee.
-=- -=- -=- - * - -=- -=- -=-
"Who are you?" one of the men on the team he had just 'joined' yelled as he swivelled his gun to the stranger that had got into his team's vehicle.
"Hibiki... transferred to section hour ago. Ordered to you team to prove self think. Oh and lady with dead voice said keep close eye on self." Ranma shrugs the question off.
"Hmm don't know English well do you?" seeing Ranma's simple shrug he snarls to himself. 'Great... well at least I know he must be telling the truth if he said I was to keep watch on him...'
-=- -=- -=- - * - -=- -=- -=-
"Status report, Craig?"
"Doing better than hoped. This new guy Madeline assigned to us is like a whole squad by himself!"
Suddenly a female voice spoke up, "I didn't assign you anyone new, Craig.."
"WHAT?!" he yelled. "But he said you sent him and told me that I was supposed to keep a good eye on him and give you a report after the mission!"
-=- -=- -=- - * - -=- -=- -=-
"She couldn't have gotten out could she?" Operations and Madeline looked at each other in shock.
Quickly Madeline ordered security to enter the containment room and remove the sheet from the wall inside. She then sent a request to the field team, "Craig... what does this fake agent look like?"
"Oriental... in his teens... dark black hair in a pig-tail... and he can't speak English that well..." he said in shock as he stared at where the 'agent' was cheerily waving at him as he listened to them talking over the communication set he had been issued.
"DAMN! She's good!" he heard an anonymous voice say from the other end before the sound of a hissed command to be quiet. "Where is this agent at currently, Craig?"
"He's currently standing about 20 feet away from me waving cheerily and winking as he listens to us talking on his own set..." the shocked agent replies.
-=- -=- -=- - * - -=- -=- -=-
"My god..." someone at the base says into the hushed silence that had overtaken everyone, including the usually unflappable Madeline and Operations.
"Birkohf I want that tracer reactivated now!" Madeline turns as she notices the sheet coming down off the window.
"Security, what's the situation?"
"Containment has failed. We found the guard knocked out inside.. and I think you'll want to see this... the girl seems to have written a note before she left."
"Alright bring it to me, quickly!" Madeline turned her attention back to the field unit. "Ranma... I must admit you succeeded in getting out... although I'm curious as to how you did so..." she spoke in Japanese.
There is a moment of silence and then a chuckle is heard through the speakers. "Actually it was easy... and you helped me." was said with what sounded like a smug voice.
Just then the security team entered dragging the unconscious form of the guard between them.
"What is the meaning of this?" Operations bellowed and as he noticed the clothing on the man, "and why is he dressed like that?"
"The woman apparently exchanged clothes with him sir..." one of the guards said uncomfortably.
"...and we brought him because she wrote the note _on_ him." another finished and then they hefted the body into a standing position.
Madeline and Operations only raised an eyebrow when they read what had been written on the man, but Birkohf gasped and backed away.
The speakers decided to take this moment to make their presence known once more, "I'm assuming since you aren't replying to what I said that you found my present?"
"Yes, we have. Very... entertaining, Ranma."
[More stuff possibly unsuitable for younger audiences.]
"Hey, he deserved it!" an indignant voice returned. "That hentai came in and started taking a poor, harmless little girl's clothing off and tried to molest her." then a chuckle before he finished, "I could have stopped him at any time of course but I didn't want him alerting you all of my escape so I simply waited until his mouth was occupied then knocked him out. The poor sobbing little girl survived the trauma without being shamed of course but I decided the same shouldn't be said about him!" he finished with a snarl.
[End of stuff possibly unsuitable for younger audiences.]
Most of the people within the room weren't able to follow along thanks to the language barrier but the three people who understood Japanese looked distastefully at the finally waking man that had been brought in.
"Security take this man down to the punishment room. He will be taken care of later." Operations ordered. "Berkohf do you have the tracker working yet?"
"Yes, sir. But he isn't moving. He seems to be content talking with us."
"I want recovery teams there within 10 minutes."
Madeline decided to address the escapee once again, "The man has been taken care of for his attempt. Now could you please tell us exactly how you came to go from being in containment to being out in the field with one of our teams?"
"Be glad to... but do you mind if I tell it in pieces? I'm on a mission after all..." he replies with a laugh.
-=- -=- -=- - * - -=- -=- -=-
"...so whenever I get wet with cold liquids my cursed form appears, whereas hot water reverses the process..." Ranma stops talking long enough to leap ahead and knock out a man who had been running down the stairs with a gun before continuing, "so I decided once I heard the conclusion about my exact gender to simply use it to get me out. I knew you hadn't setup the 'special' security check yet and so voiced it knowing you would make that change. Sure enough when I..." he stops to duck down as heavy fire is sent his way by two gunners.
A minute later he resumes, "Sure enough when I got to the security station at the exit the men checked for gender and ignored the fact that I was 'new' and didn't know english well. Before you discipline him for it though, remember he was only ordered to check that one thing."
"Hmm I think that's the lot of them. Now is there anything else you would like to know or should I make the rest of my escape now?" he jokes out loud.
"Are there others... cursed... like you?"
"There's a bunch of us actually. One of my friends who thinks he is my enemy turns into a pig. One of my fiance's turns into a c-c-ca... a furball that chases mice. Her admirer turns into a duck. There was this rude jerk who turned into a hideous monster. And a couple of other weird cases like that. And lastly my father used to turn into a panda..." he trails off.
"My condolences on your loss." the man replied in an uncaring tone.
"Yeah, well... anyway I wouldn't suggest trying to grab any of them."
"And why not...?"
"Because it would ruin you all. If you tried to capture Ryouga you would probably wind up lost somewhere in the desert. If you tried to capture Taru he'd probably intentionally transform then tear this place apart. Shampoo, Mousse, Herb, Kima, Rouge and the others with the various curses all have some serious backing behind them both physically and also diplomatically."
"Then we'll just create our own agents with this place..." Operations broke off as he heard the sigh.
"Sorry that option isn't available either. You see I kind`a blew the place up a little while ago..."
"WHAT?!"
"Well... actually, I blew up the mountain and that caused the valley to be destroyed as well. Same thing though."
"Let me get this straight.. you blew up a mountain AND destroyed a valley?"
Ranma shrugs although they can't see it, "I was mad... the guy was trying to kill my fiance and she was almost dead. I killed him instead. Blowing up the mountain and valley was just a side effect..."
This time the reply is in english and Ranma fails to interpret it. "I don't believe this guy! He blows up a damn mountain and a valley trying to kill one man and just calls it a side effect!", but it is understood by everyone else causing gasps to be heard.
"Anyway, the bad guys are all unconscious so I'm going to leave now. It's been fun.." and with those parting words Ranma dropped the communicator to the dirt.
-=- -=- -=- - * - -=- -=- -=-
"I want her... him... _whatever_ back, people!"
"We're tracing as speak, sir." Birkohf replied as he watched the screen before him.
"When we find him I want all available teams to converge on his position. We are _not _losing this one!"
Birkohf stared at the monitor and watched the speeding blip travel, waiting for it to stop.
-=- -=- -=- - * - -=- -=- -=-
'They'll be after me again pretty soon.' Ranma thought to himself as he hopped onto yet another roof then off to the next. 'This time I need to keep alert for _anything_ if the blond was anything to go by.'
Ranma looked around and decided he had gone far enough, and so decided to sit down and think things out for a change.
'Last time they somehow managed to follow me even with my best disguises. How were they able to keep track of me?' He couldn't figure it out. It seemed as if they knew where he was going even before he did.
He stopped and smiled as his next disguise made itself available before his eyes.
