Ranma disposed of the corpse since it was unwise to simply leave it out in the open to be found. A simple ki blast was all he needed to vaporize the body, but not without some looting.
He checked through the inventory of the late Sextome Ranma. Finding more flashy clothes, quite a lot of an unknown currency, bottles rations and six funny looking balls like the one he saw earlier, round a belt and more so in the pack.
He knew it was wrong but hey, after looting so much from those death squads on Jade, he really did pick back up Genma’s instilled thievery.
Sparing a glance at the two women lying on the ground. He recognized Brianna immediately she was a bit different, curvier and taller than both her forms he had seen previously but no mistaking it. He also blushed as he realized that she wasn’t wearing much.
The other blonde on the other hand, well she seemed to resemble Brianna a bit, maybe related but he didn’t recall hearing about such a sister other than Brittany. He had to admit though she was just as easy on the eyes.
Still… Where the heck was he anyway. This didn’t seem like Earth as he remembered nor could this be Jade. He still had to rescue his mother and defeat the weapon masters and Julia Diggers or should that be the conclave as Brianna had said.
It was about to rain so he brought the two women to shelter in a cave, making makeshift beds for them to lie on and went off to gather some food and wood. Then he waited for them to come to. Thinking of a way to explain for himself and find out what the heck was going on.
As he prepared a small fire, a slight moaning grabbed his attention as the girls started waking up.
Brianna Diggers slowly opened her eyes. She forced down the irrational lust that was filling her to look around.
Well, she was in a bed. That was almost a good sign. He demanding ‘master’ would never do something like this. So at least she might be safe from more of his... she shuddered, “taming”.
Sextome Ranma was a despicable and sadistic bastard to put it simply. He was also a criminal whom had captured innocent girls and turned them into pokegirls. In fact, he illegally created her using her two sisters. While existing was something she owed him, she’d rather not be born if he were to be her master.
Turning to her side, she saw Gina lying next to her, had they escaped?
If not, she shook and fought off another wave of lust, it was bad enough she was soon in need of taming; she’d rather die then go back to Sextome’s treatment.
“Your awake.”
She immediately sat up straight, turning around and saw Ranma sitting in front of a fire behind her. She whimpered pathetically, they didn’t escape after all.
Tears began to well up in her eyes and a rod of icy terror shot down her back as she began to imagine what kind of terrors he would create.
Ranma turned to face Brianna, judging by her actions, the other him was really a bastard, glad he’s dead.
“Please, Master...” Brianna managed to choke out, “Don’t hurt me!”
Yes indeed, he’d better comfort the poor girl.
Wrapping a make shift blanket to warm the cold and sobbing girl, he went on to calm her down.
“Shh... I’m not going to hurt you, it’s going to be alright,” he said gently.
She looked at him confused. He was Ranma, they looked the same and sounded the same but this was so not like him. Ranma was cruel but this man... she looked in his eyes and she didn’t see Ranma’s arrogance and inconsideration for all life but his own, she saw boundless confidence and kindness and something else.
He eyes opened even wider when she felt a bond between them. He couldn’t have tamed her as she slept, she would have woken up and even if she didn’t she would not be on the brink of going nuts any more.
She reached for it to feel him and was blow away. She could all but taste his personality. While there were some small flaws, he was strong, honorable, kind, and willing to fight and die for others. How could such a person wear the face of a monster like Sextome Ranma?
Ranma jumped back and looked at her. “What was that?” he asked.
Brianna blinked. He had felt her tug at the bond? “Who are you? What’s going on here?”
“My name is Ranma, and I practice anything goes martial arts,” he paused for a while, “and for the second question, I haven’t got a clue.”
They both heard a groan as Gina stood up. She blinked, and looked at Ranma. “Its you?” She gulped and suppressed a shudder. “Where’s our... master?”
“He’s dead,” stated Ranma.
Both of the girl’s eyes opened wide. “He’s what?” exclaimed Gina. She all but jumped from her bed and grabbed him by the collar “He’s really dead!? You better not be joking.”
“Please let it be true...” mumbled Brianna in a hopeful mantra.
“I snapped his neck with my bare hands, then I disposed of the body,” stated Ranma. He tried to sound like he was sorry, but he wasn’t.
The two girls smiled widely and danced around the cave singing “Ding-dong the scum-sucking-rat-bastard is dead!”
Ranma blinked and let the girls vent.
After a few minutes of joyous dance and song, Gina looked at Ranma. “So what the hell are you?”
“Me?” he said, “well I’m definitely not from around here.” Pausing a bit, “I guess you could say I’m from another realm.”
Gina and Brianna looked each other in the eyes.
“Interdimensional travel.”
“That explains it.”
“Different circumstances will cause the same person to develop into a totally different individual”
“Also explains why our bond went over to him.”
“Makes sense...”
“Also makes him out new master...”
“I see no problem with that... he seems to be a really nice guy!”
“Hey! Hey! Hey!” exclaimed Ranma, “I don’t wanna be anybody’s master!” It was bad enough he was already an outlaw on Jade and was responsible for busting out criminals and kidnapping Brianna.
The girls blinked.
“No one should own anybody else, and I sure as hell don’t want any slaves!”
“Gina, he’s perfect.”
“I agree, Bri...”
“Hey!” exclaimed Ranma. He just wanted to go back.
Gina sighed. “Listen, Ranma, you killed our previous master. That makes us yours. You’re a nice guy, but if you abandon us we’ll go insane without regular taming, like Brianna is starting to right now. You’re a nice guy, and it’s every Pokegirl’s dream to have a nice master. If you abandon us we might end up with someone worse...”
Ranma was massaging his temples. How did get into this mess, first Jade and now this. Sighing he decided…
