While the female hedgehog walked up to him, Ranma could see that he was wrong: Her fur wasn't exactly black, but a deep green. She also had some purple stripes on her head.
She extended a hand and smiled. "I am Pluto, called the 'Ultimate Life Form'... First Version!"
Ranma blinked, then grinned and accepted the handshake. "Hi there! The name's Ranma Saotome, martial artist and summoner."
"I take it you must be one of my new team members," Pluto said coolly while striding through the room. "And who's this cute lil' guy?" she asked while admiring Carbuncle's floating form.
Ranma laughed. "His name is 'Bunky', and he's married."
"Aw, What a bummer," she said in a playful voice. "He really is cute."
'It's 'Carbuncle', you hear?' Carbuncle snorted angrily. 'Only Siren may call me that.'
Ranma grinned. "Whatever you say, 'Bunky'!"
Goku laughed. "Well, I think that's enough. Pluto, why don't you show Ranma some of your abilities?"
Pluto smirked. "Sure thing, big boss!" She held out a hand and aimed for one of the training dummies situated on Goku's training grounds.
A purple shimmering ball of energy appeared before her hand, about the size of a grapefruit.
"Chaos Scream," the dark green hedgehog shouted, and tossed the ball towards the target. The training dummy flew apart in a shower of splinters.
Pluto rubbed her hands. "How's that?"
Ranma whistled. "Not too bad... but check this out!" He cupped his hands and formed a ball of ki, surrounded by a magical fire aura. "Magical Moko Takabisha: Flame Sphere!" And another training dummy went down in flames.
"Hey, hold it, Ranma! At that rate, we won't have enough dummies for training left."
'I thought YOU are the one that breaks most of them,' Carbuncle pointed out. Goku grinned. "You have a point... but enough about me! All right, you two! Come along, and I'll bring you to your new quarters. You'll meet your third team member there."
While they were leaving the room, Pluto had to think about something.
'Strange how things turned out,' she pondered. 'In my previous life, I would have tried anything possible to avert these turns of events... but now that I'm an 'Ultimate Lifeform', my view of life isn't exactly the same...'
And her thoughts went back to that day, when a floating light changed everything about her role in life...
