[Episode 128853] [Episode 128853]After their encounter with a rampaging Nabiki, both Hiroshi and Daisuke found their moods ruined and the concerns raised by Nabiki's behaviour only added to the nebulous fears the pair felt, fears rooted in their uncertainty of what was going on at the Tendo Dojo. Their interest in sex temporarily abated, the pair set out to assuage their desire for more information.
In the familiar surrounds of Hiroshi's room, the duo briefly debated possible causes for Nabiki's behaviour, and the other things they found odd about the situation at the Tendo dojo. Eventually deciding that they had too little information at the moment, Hiroshi sat down in front of his PC and ran the MasterPC program, intending to use it spy out the lay of the land. Running through the familiar commands, Hiroshi tried to call up a display showing Ranma.
The PC had a bar appear on the screen and Hiroshi and Daisuke watched it slowly fill. When the bar filled a message popped up - "Unable to resolve location of Saotome Ranma. Mystic energy interfering with access to expected location".
"What the hell", blurted out Daisuke, "Mystic Interference? Are they on to us? How are they blocking the PC"
"It might just be Ranma", offered Hiroshi in what was meant to be a calming tone, "I'll try to get a look at some of the others". In swift succession Hiroshi tried to spy on Tatewaki Kunou and Konatsu, without success, getting desperate, he switched to Tendo Akane. This time the MasterPC program beeped almost happily and instead of a pop-up error message the PC display showed Akane working out, both Hiroshi and Daisuke recognized Akane's surroundings, she was in the actual Dojo building. Hiroshi scratched his head in puzzlement, "If we can get Akane, why can't we get Ranma? Or the others."
"There's Kasumi", pointed out Daisuke, "Turn up the sound, lets listen in. Maybe they'll give us a clue."
Akane looked up from her practice as Kasumi entered the dojo. "How's Ranma", she blurted out.
Kasumi let out a sigh, "Ranma's fine. She's in the kitchen. I think she intends to make you something for a late night snack."
"I had to make Ranma practice today", Akane said softly, her shoulders slumping as she did so, "She told me girls shouldn't learn how to fight. That only boy's and tomboy's behaved violently. I had to convince her that she needed exercise to keep her figure trim and sexy and that it was OK for a girl to do martial arts for that reason. Ever since... then... Ranma's been saying she's a girl and that she needs to behave like a girl."
"But...", said Kasumi with a frown, "She seems so, ah, forward when she's around you. That's not very girlish is it?"
"Hah", snorted out Akane, "I told her that as well, but she told me that it was OK for girls to glomp the one they love. I think Ranma has been around Shampoo and Kodachi a bit too much, they're the only ones I know that go around 'glomping'. Anyway, Ranma's idea of how a girl behaves seems to have a few strange twists that I have trouble following."
"Oh...", murmurred Kasumi, "Should I give her a talk on proper behaviour then? Or perhaps we should ask Aunty Nodoka to do it, Ranma is her daughter after all."
"Ranma is a boy", shouted Akane, "Not a girl. A boy with a curse. *HE* should punish me for what I did, not go around claiming that she let it happen and that means she's now a girl", Akane fell into a dejected pose, "And I can't even get Ranma to talk as a boy, I poured hot water on her almost a dozen times today, and she just poured cold water on herself and told me she wasn't going to pretend to be what she wasn't."
"That's reasonable behaviour", replied Kasumi, "And if Ranma's decided that she's going to be a full-time girl for you, you should be grateful for it. You don't seem to mind her being a girl when the two of you are making love, so it's seems a little hypocritical of you to object the rest of the time."
"Kasumi!", squealed Akane as a flush spread over her face, "That's not the point! You don't know what it's like to have a cock, it just gets hard and you can't think past using it on the girl you lo..., ah... you get the idea. And Ranma is a boy, no... a man, a good man. *HE* can't just turn his back on what he is. This... this is just like the Neko-ken, Ranma can't deal with the idea that he enjoys sex as a girl, so he's decided that he's turned into a girl and that makes it alright. But it doesn't. Ranma needs to deal with what happened as a boy, even if it means he dumps me or even kills me for what I did. He has to face it or he'll never be the real Ranma again!"
"Akane has a cock?", stammered Hiroshi, "Dai-chan, have you been using the PC without telling me?"
"No!", yelled Daisuke, "I promise you, I haven't done anything to Akane. I have no idea what she's talking about. I mean, I've been avoiding her and Ranma. And anyway, if I had given her a cock you could be sure that I would have set it up so that she used that cock on my girlside, not wasted it on Ranma."
"True. You would have, but then how... Akane has a cock and is using on Ranma?", Hiroshi shook his head in bewilderment, "What is going on here? Do they know about us and this is a joke? Is someone else using a MasterPC on them? What?". As Hiroshi talked, his fingers danced over the keyboard and called up a 3-d image of Akane in a seperate window, the gi covering the Akane image faded and the two boys examined the now nude picture.
"Definately a cock", stated Daisuke, "Looks like she's a herm rather than a dickgirl. But how did it happen? We didn't do it... and what else could have?"
"Kami knows", growled Hiroshi, "If you have any ideas feel free to share them". Hiroshi typed away some more and set up an intensive scan of Akane. "Come on you useless PC, tell us why Akane has a cock!". For long moments the scan simply showed a busy symbol, then it finished and a window popped up - "Trace energy consistent with Primal Sex Magic detected in target. Probability approaches unity that physical alteration was made using Primal Sex Magic."
"What?", said Daisuke, "What does that mean? Primal Sex Magic?"
"Give me a minute", snapped Hiroshi, "I'm trying to access the MasterPedia menu option. Ah! Here we are. Primal Sex Magic - A variant of sex magic used by certain para-elemental entities of sex, typically those that directly channel sexual energy for survival rather than empowerment. Distinct from the more controlled Tantric Sex Magic typically employed by mortal emitters of sexual energy and entities seeking empowerment. See also: Sex Demon, Tentacle Demon, Succubus, Incubus, Shikima Devil...", Hiroshi fell silent for a moment as he considered what he had just read, then hesitantly stated "Some sort of Sex Demon changed her?"
"Oh Crap", said Daisuke after another stretch of silence, "Roshi, that tentacle thingy I sent after Konatsu. Konatsu did kill it right? It was the weakest thing on that menu, I mean, Konatsu is supposed to have fought Ranma to a standstill. He would have been able to handle a little tentacle monster, right?"
"Oh no", groaned Hiroshi, before taking a deep breath to calm himself, "Dai-kun. Show me the menu you used for that. What exactly was it that you sent after Konatsu?"
"Man, I hate studying", groaned Daisuke, "We've been researching this thing for over an hour now 'Roshi, surely we know enough to deal with it. It's dumb, supposed to be no smarter than a dog. It feeds off sex energy and has a way of making the person it's feeding off horny and obsessed with some fantasy", Daisuke pulled a face as he went on, "It can do do the feeding thing at a distance and through walls. Because it normally lives around other demon things it has a way of hiding from magic that the MasterPC can't penetrate - which is why we can't spy on the main Tendo house the thing is somewhere in there, on the other hand it isn't invisible and if we get close we can just spot it with our mark.1 eyeballs. Let's just find it and hit it over the head."
"If it was that simple Ranma would probably already have hit it over the head", snarled Hiroshi, "God I wish I had paid more attention when you set this thing loose. And you missed some things, here, as a defence mechanism it can go immaterial and walk through walls or let fists pass through it - so to hit over the head you would have to take it by surprise. And here, this bit, these things breed by splitting into two, parthen... whatever it is, all they need to do it is enough sex energy. That thing has been loose for a couple of days, and feeding a lot given the state of the dojo", Hiroshi shook his head, "I hope we only have to deal with one of them."
"Fists pass through it?", squawked Daisuke, "Damn... I screwed up, I told the PC to put it in the street in front of Konatsu, so she had no chance of surprising it. How the hell are we supposed to deal with it then if it goes immaterial as soon as it see's us?"
"It only goes immaterial when it thinks there's a threat", stated Hiroshi, "Most of the time it's solid. According to the MasterPedia, it has to be solid and touching the victim to change them like Akane was changed. Odd that, the MasterPedia says that sort of change is normally done to help the victim fulfill some fantasy so they generate more sex energy for the creature to feed on. Bit of a surprise to discover pervert-basher Akane fantasized about having a cock. Hmmm... there'a an additional note, repeated physical and sexual contact is potentially harmful to mortals. I don't like the sound of that."
"Well, I've heard rumours about Akane preferring Ranma's girlside to his boyside", commented Daisuke, "Looks like they held more truth than I thought. Hmmm... and they did mention that Tatewaki and Konatsu might be contagious, so Akane might have been fantasizing after seeing those two. Doesn't matter much now. So anyway, how are we going to deal with this demon thing? And do you think Nabiki going crazy is because the thing has been at her?"
"Some sort of magic", said Hiroshi with a sigh, "The MasterPC says it can banish it if we bring it close enough, or we could just issue ourselves with a banishment spell. Trouble is the MasterPC says we'll need to hold the creatures down or they'll feel the banishment start and run off before it's finished", Hiroshi sighed again, "As for Nabiki, hard to say, might just be that she has a fantasy about having slaves at her beck and call and the thing is influencing her to act that out. Kami-sama, I knew you set this thing loose and I didn't give it another thought once you came over and fucked me. I forgot all about it until you reminded me. We're a matching pair of idiots with regard to this thing."
"Yeah", said Daisuke with a sigh, "I know. I mean, we want to fuck Ranma, Akane and the others, but we never meant for them to get hurt, just to have fun fucking madly. It's our mess and we need to clean it up somehow. And we need to try and make it up to Ranma and the rest. Kami-sama knows how", Daisuke willed his body to female and then leaned against Hiroshi and pressed her breasts into her friends back, "And thanks for sharing the blame... it was my fault mainly. I admit it, but thanks anyway."
"They look so harmless", Hiroshi commented with a sigh as he looked at a picture on the PC, relaxing slightly as Daisuke rubbed herself against him, "Not really cute or anything, but fluffy and harmless", Hiroshi sighed deeply, "Nevermind. You go and get some rest Dai-chan. Get up early, 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning, and come over here on your broom. I'll put together a plan and some anti-fluffy gear before I go to sleep and come morning the two of us will head over to the dojo and try to dispose of the little pest before it's too late. I'll leave the window open for you, if I'm asleep when you get here pour cold water on me", raising a finger Hiroshi's voice became a lot sterner, "And don't complain Dai-kun, you'll need to be rested for the chase, you're a lot better at thinking quickly than I am."
Daisuke enjoyed flying on her broom, the feeling of slicing through the sky and the wind in her face. She just loved it, it was almost as good as sex. This particular flight was a little worrying, not for itself, but for what was meant to follow it. They would have to brave the dojo and hunt the beast, and he had spent some time thinking about possibilities before sleep had finally claimed him. It would be best if they did this without anyone at the dojo noticing, fixing things as best they could with no one the wiser. Daisuke had trouble making herself believe things would turn out that way, but was prepared to give it a try. It beat being beaten to a pulp which is the best he and 'Roshi could expect if Ranma found out they were responsible for summoning the fluffy sex demon.
As promised Hiroshi's window was open and easy to slip into on the broomstick. Hiroshi was asleep, Daisuke noted a pitcher of water on the dresser, then turned her gaze back to her friend and partner. It occurred to her that there was a much more pleasant way of waking him if she could get her hand under the covers and between his legs, however as she moved over to take advantage of her sleeping partner in sexual hi-jinks, an alarm sounded and she found herself staring into a bleary eyed but awake face.
"I feel better after a wash", declared Hiroshi as he can back into his room after a quick visit to the bathroom, "And waking up to a cute girl trying to kiss me is also makes me feel good."
"I wasn't trying to kiss you!", stammered a blushing Daisuke-chan, "I was... ah.... I was just... um... looking before I went and dumped the water on you."
"Whatever", replied Hiroshi with a smile, "It was still nice to wake up to. But we do need to get moving", Hiroshi waved towards a bunch of items piled up next to the PC and his formed blurred and reformed as his female self in the same move, "These are the tools I came up with", Hiroshi stepped forward and let her towel fall to the ground behind her as she leaned over and picked up a cube, "This is an expandable hut. It's designed to contain the demon once we catch it - it's walls will be impassable to the little nuisance, just put on the ground with enough room and concentrate on it growing while you're touching it, also the hut is charmed so that people won't take any notice of it, but that charm has limits, don't put it in a doorway or across a path - if people have to go out of their way to avoid it then they will notice that it's there", putting down the cube Hiroshi picked up a shimmering cloth, "This is a magic net, it'll expand to catch and entangle even immaterial things like our fluffy pest, just be careful with yours because it'll entangle anything except you and mine will entangle anyone except me", placing down the net Hiroshi picked up a slim rod, "and finally our wands, these let us cast 3 spells, an electrical blast, a defensive block and a light spell. The light spell glows brighter the more mystical interference is in the area, it's intended to lead us to where the fluffy is. The electrical blast won't harm the demon but will sting a lot and will hit it even if it is immaterial, so it should make the Fluffy run. The defensive block is a higher grade and will stop the demon in it's tracks even when it's trying to be immaterial, unfortunately the spell is a simple shield in shape and size so it can't be used to capture the thing, just to get in it's way. Just think of the spell you want to use and point the wand, the rest is automatic. As you might have guessed, the plan is to use the wands to sting the creature into moving and channel the way it can run until we manage to hit it with a net. Once it's in the net we toss it in the expandable hut and we can deal with it at leisure"
"Well...", Daisuke let her words hang in the air, "It seems to be a simple plan. So I suppose not too much can go wrong do long as we keep things quiet."
"Exactly", agreed Hiroshi, "So lets get dressed - I have a special set of matching costumes for us to wear, once dressed we jump on our brooms and go deal with this little nuisance before anyone at the dojo is awake."
