"I will depart now," Leodachi stated. "I will not return to that zoo and you can't make me. Obviously, the influence of the humans has messed around with your minds." She stared at Nabatty despisingly, and at Ranko with a deep regret.
But before she could leave, a hand the size of Kasumi's stove came into the ruined dojo and scooped up the surprised lion-girl.
"HEY! What are you doing? Let go of me!"
"I don't think so," the titanic form of Apane grumbled while pulling her outside. "If you don't want to come back willingly... then I'll just TAKE you back."
"You can't do this to me you brutal monkey!"
"Oh, I already did, did I?"
Akane gaped upon seeing her gigantic, primate double standing in front of the Tendo home, grasping the struggling Leodachi within her hand.
Nabiki stepped forward, scrutinized the giant monkey-girl and nodded. "Yup, looks just as violent and intimidating as you, Akane."
"I'll say... HEY!! What's that supposed to mean?"
Ranma gulped. He was a tough fighter, and he already defeated strong opponents like Herb and Saffron... but seeing an Akane THAT big really made him feel uncomfortable. He just imagined what a mallet that size would look like and winced.
Ranko looked up at Apane with a smile. "Thanks, Akane!"
"That's 'Apane' now, Ranko!" the monkey-girl reminded her with a smirk.
"I don't know if I should see this as an offense or a compliment..." Akane muttered.
Ranko then looked at her leonine friend. "Leodachi... I'm sorry it has to end like this. But... don't you see? If you were to run through the human city like this, you would be in great danger, you know? I would be horribly worried about you."
"I can take care of myself..." Leodachi snapped.
"Maybe, but even a strong girl like you isn't invincible," Nabatty pointed out. "What would you do if they shoot you with a gun?"
Leodachi stopped struggling. She really hadn't thought about that.
"And think about it," Sailor Mars reminded her. "Do you know anything else besides life in the zoo? I can imagine that you don't really detest it like you want to make us believe."
"That's right!" Ranko smiled. "I can tell you she had a great time there. I know it, she lives in the cage next to me."
"You know what they say," Sailor Venus grinned. "Cage Sour Cage".
Her fellow Senshi weren't the only ones to sweatdrop. "That's 'Home Sweet Home', Venus..." Jupiter muttered.
Leodachi sighed in defeat. "All right, all right, I admit it: It HAS been kinda fun..." She smirked. "Besides, if I go and live by myself, who is going to serve me my food? A queen needs her servants, after all."
"I'm so happy you think this way," Ranko beamed at her fellow feline.
"Finally..." Sailor Moon groaned. "We caught them all... I'm really glad THAT'S over..."
"Not entirely," Mercury reminded her. "We still have to figure out what to do with them. Shouldn't we try to find a cure?"
"NO WAY!" both Apane and Leodachi yelled.
"I'd prefer staying this way, thank you..." Nabatty exclaimed.
Ranko whined and clinged to Ranma's legs. "Oniichan wouldn't like me anymore..."
"Um, excuse me?" a voice interrupted. "But I have the feeling this belongs to you..."
Ranma turned around. "Ucchan?"
Standing in front of the premises, nervously glancing up at the colossal monkey-Akane, was Ukyo, along with her own double, which was guzzling down gallons of water that Konatsu was serving her.
(Gulp, gulp, gulp) "Aaaaaah, how refreshing... Thanks, Konatsu-chan!"
Konatsu blushed. "A-anytime, Ukymel-sama..."
Ukyo shook her head as she saw the Senshi and the other animal-girls. "Look, I don't know what's going on here and I don't really know if I wanna know... But could you please get her away from me? Or else I fear that my water bill this month will ruin me."
