Subject: Ranma done goofed and went to cat island, regretting it immensely
Warnings: Catfight, cat boy ranma
[For about a week, those acquainted with one Ranma Saotome might've noticed a distinct lack of pigtails running around Eltrut. No word or sight of the teen anywhere. Some would be forgiven for thinking he went into hiding due to the recent bounty placed upon him. Others, given how some will temporarily be whisked back to their homes and return with nary an explanation, may believe he simply went back home and could come back at any given moment.
The true cause of his disappearance... is a lot stupider than those sensible ideas.
When he heard of a mysterious island cropping up, he knew he had to check it out. Information about it was scarce to him, since Paladins received more intel on itand cause he skimmed the blurb, but that wasn't going to stop him! Adventure's afoot, and he's going to take it! The next voyage to this elusive island, Ranma stowed away hitched a free ride.
And from there, it all goes downhill from there.
That was around a week ago. In the present, the network would abruptly display a notification of a video call from the MIA martial artist. A... disconcerting image showed the camera unfocused and blurred, like someone strapped it to a speeding jet. A cacophony of caterwauls and the crashing of timbering lumber trees hitting the ground was the only audible sound that could be made out. Then, the repeated quick motions loosening it, the shellphone fell and hit the ground, conveniently landing in a clump of grass that propped it in the right spot for a clearer picture.
Anyone observing the feed would find a clowder of warrior cats, some looking banged and scratched up more than others, backs arched with their furry tails standing on edge. They yowled, spit and hissed in the direction of an unseen force, a predator perhaps? Whatever it was, the camera's barely able to track anything more than the red streak that rushed each cat one by one, until all ferocious felines were off-screen.
Strange scene, no doubt. Even stranger is the source of this stream. It's coming from Ranma's phone. This was the first form of contact anyone's got from him in a week, and he isn't even in view. So where is--]
MRRRRW!
[Oh.
There's Ranma, on the branch of a tree in the shot of the camera. Only instead of addressing the camera, give an explanation as to where on earth he's been, or even acknowledge the camera at all...]
Mrreow!~
[... He. Meowed? And started clawing into the bark of the tree he's lurching on like it was a scratch post??
Huh.]

Instead, they reach out with their mind, even as their physical body remains at a distance and adopts a non threatening posture.
It's alright, Ranma!kitty. They're not a threat, see? Look.
They bring out some dried fish from one of their pockets and hold it out in offering.)
(1/2)
Danger, predator, threat. Need to defend self, need to strike, need food. would be the clearest thoughts they'd be able to make in the hazy fog making up Ranma's id. The voice was fractured, splintered, confused, like a frightened animal scared out of its wits.
Hackles raising, back arching further and further, trilling getting louder and louder until]
(2/2 cw: injuries, blood)
The other? Ranma's gone. Behind them. Ranma's shown superhuman speed in the past, Chris have seen him move as blurs before too, but they've probably never seen him move that fast. Another thing to add, is the fish Sidestep was using as a peace offering? It's gone, in the mouth of Ranma scarfing it down greedily.
And in return for this, in the second it took for Ranma to pass through them, it traded Sidestep's own blood. They might not have even realized it until now, but searing pain began to traverse through their system as the fresh, multiple gashes surrounding, cut into their flesh flared with pain. Head to toe were their body marked by Ranma's unseen claws, each one varying between the degree of the equivalent to paper cuts to deep below the flesh spewing ichor by the second. With how Ranma had effortlessly reduced a tree to confetti earlier, Sidestep's lucky they currently aren't mincemeat.]

(That's not Ranma.
Some kind of alternate personality? It doesn't recognize them-
Then he's past them, so fast they don't even feel him grab the fish in their hand, and they're grateful that he didn't tear them to shreds like that tree-)
Fuck!
(The pain and shock has them hollering and swearing. Shit fuck goddamn ow ow...
They scramble to get a potion out of their pockets, only to realize they used the last one Turo gave them.
Fuck!
Their clothes are shredded, as is much of the rest of their stuff, food of various kinds and less interesting and desirable things strewn across the ground.
Exposed...
They try to cover themself, try to gather the shreds of their outfit and cover the bright orange striping their skin and the wounds that even now are seeping blood.
That sure is a lot of blood...
And then they're out. The cats that accompanied them are yowling in alarm, yelling for the other clan to get a medicine cat as warriors from both clans rush to drive away Ranma, this enemy twoleg who intrudes on their territory and attacks their allies.)

Maybe after it's done eating, it could search for that nice golden man, or Akanya. She'd be really fun to see again. It misses her immeasurably too...]
