Ranma’s mind was on a simple plan for the moment. He would rush the principal’s position after the girl in the flying chair caught the attentions of the monkeys.
But with all plans in Nerima, planning it was almost as good as saying “now this is what we know won’t come close to happening.”
So as he saw the LBD coming his way, smoking spraying out its side, and a very scared looking girl in the seat, he just knew his day was going to get worse. Coming to a complete stop—and nearly throwing Shampoo off before she tightened her grip around his chest, he shifted back to hybrid form.
Oh man; they’re gonna pound me for this.
It was too late after he began his plan for him to remember the fact that unlike Akane ... his clothes didn’t shift, and he was now a very naked hybrid.
Shampoo didn’t notice, she was still wondering why her Airen was standing up now instead of avoiding the flying chair that was so much better than her bicycle. Then again, her bicycle never caught fire before.
Brianna had her eyes open as she screamed out a warning for them to get out of the way. But that died in her throat as she saw the nude stud before her, and only the safety straps in her seat kept her from leaping off it and glomping onto him.
“Jinkies!” gasped Peegi, as her instruments began scanning the were-cheetah.
“Is that our new Daddy that Mommy was talking about?” asked Peebrit, coming to a stop after she realized they weren’t racing anymore.
Peebri tilted a bit on her wheels. “I think Mommy likes him, so maybe.”
Behind Ranma, Ukyo and Akane were quickly approaching, the chef holding on for dear life as she had barely managed to grab a hold of Akane when the Tendo girl shifted back to full animal form and darted after Ranma and Shampoo. As such, they never heard or saw the LBD coming down. They were only worried at the moment about a) punishing Ranma for biting Ukyo, b) running off with Shampoo, and c) shifting to a nude form and flashing everyone. As such, they decided to deal with what was more important.
Akane slowly turned, trying to avoid running directly into Ranma, as Ukyo reached out with her free hand, grabbing the offending Amazon from Ranma’s back.
It was as they cleared Ranma’s line-of-sight that they noticed the incoming machine, as Akane’s turn and speed barely cleared it.
And by barely, I mean the flames now shooting out from the damaged side caught her tail.
“ROOOOAAAAARRR!” screamed the surprised were-cheetah, as she leapt up into the air.
Ranma didn’t have time to wonder what had happened to Shampoo or why Akane had screamed, as he was busy bracing himself to catch the chair and hopefully spare Brianna a painful impact with the ground. All though a small part of his mind did wonder why she seemed to no longer be screaming in panic. It almost sounded like she was happy to be crashing, for some reason. But at least she seemed to be trying to get out of that safety harness.
As it came upon him, he braced his legs, preparing to grab it. With any luck, he could slow it down enough for Brianna to safely leap off, tilt it a bit for the flaming side to dig into the dirt and put itself out, before he released it towards the pits.
But as I said before, planning it just assures it won’t happen in Nerima.
“Aiyah,” muttered a surprised Shampoo. “Shampoo no know Pervert Girl jump so high.”
Ukyo nodded slightly, rubbing her head from the whiplash of coming down as well as the near-mach-speed jump that got them where they were now. Luckily, she landed on her spatula, and her fall was cushioned by something that apparently went squish.
Akane ignored them in favor of blowing on her singed tail.
“Could you get off me, sis,” came the weak reply.
Akane blinked, before looking down, and seeing the pained face of Nabiki. “Eep!” she screamed, changing quickly to her hybrid form, and leaping off her sister who was now partially embedded in the roof.
Shampoo just smiled. “Pervert Girl in so much trouble now.”
“Are you okay, boss?” asked Han Ito, a Junior track member, and team’s physician ... at least he was until the regular one came back for the hospital, due to an injury in the Martial Arts Discus Throwing competition.
Nabiki grimaced, not used to having her large animal of a sister landing on her from about twenty meters up. The only thing that had saved her from serious harm was that Akane had landed on her feet, and that Nabiki had already fallen back onto the roof as she tried to avoid her. Sadly, Akane had then laid down on her. “Are my feet moving?”
“Yeah, boss.”
“Then I’ll make it until Ranma-kun bites me.” It was now painfully obvious to the former Ice Queen that being a human involved with the usual chaos was no longer a safe option.
Of course, if they healed as quickly as she had read in that book, then she would need it. Having a 300 kilo cat land on you even partially did not leave one feeling physically fit.
“NABIKI!” yelled out her sister.
Nabiki directed a glare at her. “Not now, Akane,” she growled, before angling her eyes back towards the door. “Since you guys are up here, how about helping us out.”
“Sugar, we have to stop Principal Kuno,” said Ukyo, praying she didn’t shift forms yet. If what Akane said was true, then her clothes wouldn’t shift until Ranma used a medallion on her, and she had no intentions of giving the school a free peek.
Her complaints stopped as an ax-head busted through the roof door.
“I think those rabbits would beg to differ,” said Nabiki.
As the trio headed to eliminate more of the rabbits attacking the school, Nabiki motioned for Sachiko to come closer. “Yeah, boss?”
“When they clear out the stairwells, send some people down to the storage room on the floor and retrieve some more coolers. And call that supplier and find out what sort of conditions he’ll accept the monkeys in. Afterwards, start prepping them.
“And someone make certain Ranma doesn’t eat Kodachi ... or that she gets blasted.”
She lowered her head back onto the roof, knowing with almost complete certainty that she had just been added to the scoreboard.
“Ow,” Theo said, as something hit his head.
Julia turned around, slightly fearful that her husband had been attacked by one of the creatures, and hoping it had not been a wabbit. She doubted that the Amazons would part with the cure they were making for Sil, for him; unless of course they had made more than enough. In which case, it would cost them a lot.
Luckily, it was just a fishing bobber, with a note attached to the hook. “What is it?”
Theo opened the note, ignoring the fact the line was quickly reeled back afterwards, as he read it. “It seems someone has been bitten by a wabbit, and the letter is asking for us to not kill them.”
‘Just great,” muttered Julia. “Does it say which wabbit?”
“OH HOHOHOHO!”
The couple turned to see a wabbit with a long ribbon-like tail ... wearing a leotard.
“You have got to be kidding me,” muttered Theo.
Julia sighed. “We really need to look into that enchantment, don’t we?”
Theo nodded as he prepared to immobilize the neo-wabbit. “I just hope she has something she can trade to the Amazons for the cure.”
Genma was running as fast as his furry legs could carry him, avoiding the occasional bullet that sped past him.
He had gotten away from the cops easily enough.
But apparently, he had wondered into a territory of a street gang whose enemies had gang colors of your typical panda.
So he was now running for his life, before they placed some “caps” in his butt. But how bottle caps would kill him, he didn’t know. Perhaps it was some finishing move for an American Martial Arts school.
But even if he ditched them, he had other problems. He had no idea where he was, or how to find that lamp with the Goddess in it.
If only he could get back to Japan. Surely he could convince his son to do the honorable thing and get those Goddesses to grant his wishes.
“Now where the hell am I?” yelled a voice in Japanese.
Genma smirked as he saw the infamous lost boy. Perhaps he did have a way back home after all.
Ranma had managed to catch the chair, allowing Brianna to leap away from it ... and onto his back, much to his shock.
He was able to put out most of the fire by tipping his arm, allowing the burning end to dig into the ground.
He was even able to use the momentum to send it towards a collection of wabbits, crustaceans, and monkeys; sending them scattering or into pieces.
But not all the fire had been put out, causing the LBD to explode, sending shrapnel into the fleeing animals.
He did have enough time to spin around, bringing Brianna to his chest—much to her glee—and protect her from the brunt of the explosion of high ordinance and children’s toys. But the shockwave did send him to the ground, with Brianna now on top.
As he looked up at her, wanting to make certain she was alright before removing the crayon now embedded in his right hand, he noticed her smile.
It was then that he knew he was now truly in a trouble, the likes of which he had never seen. He could only hope no one saw them.
“Wow; that was so cool.”
Slowly turning his head, he spotted Peebrit and two others that slightly resembled her.
In Nerima, the phrase “how could it get worse” isn’t just a fear, it’s a way of life.
As the battle raged, Hinako collected a few more new pets, absorbing their energy.
It was moments before the loud death of the LBD that some of the students started to notice that she was changing more than they expected. Sure, she still had her great figure, the low-cut top showing some of the girls just how much more developed she was than them.
But the fact her ears were now much longer and floppy soon came to their attention, as well as a long tail now coming from a rip in the back of her dress ... that had a small hoop at the end.
Of course, after the explosion, which cracked the glass on the windows, Hinako huffed as she slammed her book down on the floor.
“That’s it,” she growled. “I am going to deal with these delinquents!” Giving each of her new pets a scratch behind the ears, she was off, followed by a red fox.
“Dude; did you see that fox?”
As two girls began to smack him for a pervert comment, he didn’t have time to tell them he had meant an actual fox.
Though Hinako did look kind of hot as a rabbit-girl.
