But this was an entire different flavor of WTF-ness, even for him.
He was getting pretty used to all kinds of fucked-up critters whose entire purpose in existence seemed to circle around draining people's energies dry - ever since a Certain Incident, he'd been brushing up against them every two weeks, or something, so he'd really had no choice about the matter, but -
Things that morphed into pretty good replicas of his own parents?
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shiiiteee -
And worse, these particular things seemed to have just drained a whole bus-full of people dry. Peaky.
He'd already discovered that his knack of getting lost like a space-time hopping lost thing did not seem to work at all when the critters were near, to his displeasure. Not to they got dealt with, anyhow.
Which meant that, yeah, that.
Ryouga closed his eyes and tried to steel himself. The damn things were even doing a good job of copying his parents aura patterns, damnit -
Which probably did mean they were mind-readers, which meant even more shit, thanks truly.
Ahh, well. At least she didn't seem to be here, now. He - He didn't want her to see him like this. Not like -
But then. The wind blew soft whippy clouds across the skies...
And there was a figure. Slim, feminine, and to him at least, beautiful beyond words, long black hair whipping in the wind -
"Halt, there, minions of darkness and doom! I am the Pretty Soldier Sailor Neptune, and in the name of all that is elegant and beautiful, I shall not let your depredations go unpunished!"
She was here. She was here...And Ryouga, for once, was not happy.
The things were turning away from him, already starting to morph again. A expression of utter horror was beginning to form on her beautiful face -
No. No, no, no -
They. Will. Not. Hurt. Her.
There is a small black piglet, dancing in the darkness. With the sign of Uranus on it's forhead, and claid in some kind of halter that might concivably look like some kind of Sailor suit, if one looked at it sideways and squinted a bit.
("Halt, there, things that try to hurt the incomparable Neptune - Pretty Porcupine Sailor Uranus is here to rumble, you betcha!") "Bweeeee!"
They sliced through the enemies like butter that night, though they couldn't do much for the people of the bus but call an ambulance autonomously.
"...Oh, P-chan, P-chan, you always come to save me when I'm in trouble..."
Whoo, squishies. Ryouga couldn't help thinking that it would have been even nicer if he hadn't been a female Minipig - or something very much like that, anyhow - at the moment, but it still was very nice indeed.
Now if only he could avoid getting lost for long enough to actually figure out who she really was...
