Tro-Bal smiled as he realized which spring the girl had fallen into. While it hadn’t been one of the cursed springs he threw one of his Kaiju models into, it was a spring which had a true ‘sacrifice’ made.
After all, that poor plushie of the fanged-rabbit wasn’t going to dry out easily. So Tro-Bal was kind of hoping someone would fall into the ‘Spring of Drowned Vorpal Bunny’ while he was at his uncle’s place. THAT would have been cool to see.
The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog was a terrible beast from the devil American movie, ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’. According to one of the characters, Tim the Enchanter, it “has a vicious streak a mile wide!”
The Cave of Caerbannog was the home of the Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh, and was ostensibly guarded by a fearsome predator of an unknown description, because no one who attempted to enter the Cave or face the monster had ever survived. In the film, King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table were led to the Cave of Caerbannog by Tim the Enchanter, and found that they must face down the beast.
The beast appeared to be a fluffy white rabbit, surrounded by the bones of the fallen. Despite Tim’s warnings, King Arthur ordered one of his knights, Bors, to slay the rabbit. Bors approaches it, sword drawn, and was immediately decapitated by the rabbit to the sound of a can opener. The knights attack in force, but were driven into retreat as the rabbit leaps from knight to knight, tearing out their throats.
It was a vicious little beast.
A vicious little beast which now existed! Climbing out of the pool of water, the small fluffy white and purple bunny with bangles in her hair looked back and forth around, trying to gain her bearings as to where she was and WHAT happened.
“Oh COOL!” Tro-Bal shouted, clapping his hands together in excitement. “This is the greatest day ever! First Gojira, then Gamera, and now the Vorpal Rabbit!” He raised his arms in victory. “I can’t wait to see what happens next!”
Blinking her little black eyes once, twice, thrice... Shampoo had to wonder how much sugar this kid had in the past twenty-four hours. But what he was saying, how SHE felt.
Looking back into the now still body of water, Shampoo got a good look at her reflection.
“SQUEEE!” (AIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!)
(------)
Mao Yin lightly pocked the outsider male’s chest again and again. “You is Gojira?” She managed to ask in broken Japanese.
Nodding his head, Ranma answered, “Sorta. Didn’t the old bat tell ya’ ‘bout those cursed springs?”
*WHACK*!
“OW!” Ranma shouted, holding onto the back of his head with both hands. “What ya’ do THAT for!?”
Eyes narrowing dangerously as she looked towards the youth, she told him, “You should be more respectful when talking of elders. We don’t like to be referred to in such derogatory terms.”
Rubbing the back of his head with only his left hand now, Ranma winced. He had to admit, she DID get him back to his original form. He could show her at least a little respect. “Okay, okay... but one thing first.”
Raising her eyebrow, Cologne asked, “Oh? And that is?”
“Why is SHE still poking me!?” Ranma asked as he motioned towards the blue-haired girl who continued to poke all about his chest and arm.
=Mao Yin! Stop that right now!= Cologne spoke up in her native language towards the girl who continued to feel about their ‘guest’.
Stopping her actions as soon as she heard the elder speaking to her, the young Amazon lowered her hand. =Sorry elder,= the girl lowered her head. =I was just curious as to how this guy can be both a normal human and Gojira.=
=It’s because of Jusekyo’s touch, Mao Yin,= Cologne told the younger woman. =Obviously, this young male is suffering from its magic.=
Blinking her eyes once, twice, Mao Yin practically shot forward. =THERE’S A SPRING OF DROWNED GOJIRA!?=
“ARGH!” Ranma cried out as he fell backwards from the shout of the overactive girl, having been caught completely off-guard. Even Cologne looked a little perturbed for a moment.
Waiting for an answer, Mao Yin just stared bright-eyed at one of her village’s matriarchs. =...Khu Long? Is it true? A Jusenkyo Spring with Gojira?=
Cologne just looked straight forward at the girl, responding neither one way nor the other.
“Way to go,” Ranma said as he slowly got off from the dirt floor of the hut. “You busted the old ghoul’s hearing.”
*WHACK*!
“OW!” Ranma yelped, before rubbing the back of his head once more, eyeing the diminutive woman. “I guess not...”
