The spectators notice that Ranma is no longer on the ground. He has jumped into the twister to try to reach Akane. Without his strength, Ranma has a hard time trying to get to her. Happosai, Mousse, Tatewaki and Principal Kuno all pop out of the twister, unconscious, and strike the ground hard enough to dig out a large crater. The student body promptly buries them.
Unable to breathe, Akane starts to pass out. It turns out that she managed to pick up the moxibustion chart and has been clutching it to her chest. Afraid of what will happen when she blacks out, she reaches out to hand the chart to Ranma. Ranma is amazed that she stepped into the heart of the blast just to save the chart for him, and tells her that she's even stupider than he thought. As she passes out, Akane says, "Hurry ... take ... it ..."
Ranma manages to grab Akane's arm, but the chart start to rip apart out of her hand as the winds clutch at it. Ranma pulls Akane against his body while staring at the chart, and declares, "Akane risked her life to give me this ... nothing's gonna take it from me!" With that, he seizes the chart with his teeth. But the winds finish shredding it into pieces as the horrified Ranma watches. The students see confetti emerge from the tornado. Cologne recognizes it for what it is, and demands that everyone gather every scrap.
Ranma is distraught, but then he wakes up to the current situation, and the unconscious girl in his arms. "Akane! I forgot about her! I can't give up yet! If nothing else ... I'll save you!" With this final thought, we see Ranma and Akane falling toward the sport field far, far below.
