Jealousy, rage, indignation, wounded pride - these were not the way of the Jedi. Unfortunately all of the above WERE the way of the Akane, loudly denying all of the above even as she displayed such. Fortunately it would take Akane a long time to arrive at the scene being shown on TV, which added a whole heck of a lot to her chances of surviving.
Nabiki snorted a little into her ramen at the thought that Ranma might survive facing off against a giant monster only to get killed by her little sister. How ironic would THAT be?
"So, any working phones around?" asked Nabiki finally.
"Why DOESN'T Japan have our own superteam?" asked one of the rich fellows gathered (at a safe distance) on the observation deck of the dirigible.
"Because we don't have the problem with supervillains that they do in America," noted an older fellow in a wheelchair.
"That may be changing," said another older rich man. "Keep in mind that this is how it always starts. One big supervillain or monster in an area, heroes gather to fight it, then before you know it you've got morons with more power than sense trying one get-rich-quick scheme after another."
"Hmmmmm," hmmmed several of the others as they pondered what they remembered of news reports. It DID seem to follow that pattern didn't it?
Genma sat in a drugged stupor, not feeling the pain. Morphine will do that. He therefore didn't notice when a large chunk of skin fell off.
What was really curious about it was that instead of raw bleeding flesh, there was fur showing underneath.
"EVERYONE! Sexy beam!"
KA-BLAMMO!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Ranma blinked and stared at the smouldering crater surrounded by fallen idol singers. "Hey, I think they're still alive."
"Tougher than they look," said Inuyasha. "So you get blamed for a lotta stuff that ain't your fault, and they go off on a lot of things that don't make sense at all?"
"Yeah, yeah," said Ranma, nodding. "That's all the damn time."
Inuyasha nodded himself. "And then if you disagree or say something about it, they punish you like-"
"SIT BOY!"
ker-thwam!
"Yeah! Just like that!" said Ranma, glad Akane didn't know that special manuever. Looked even worse than her Blunt Object Of Opportunity strike.
"this 'asphalt' stuff tastes even worse than dirt," mumbled Inuyasha into that material.
"You two!" said Kagome, pointing at the Big Ugly. "What are we going to do about that?!"
Typhon sent an electrical crackle off to something very distant. A few seconds later there was a loud boom.
"We're working on that," said Ranma. "I... uhoh."
Kagome had a moment of panic as she realized that Ranma was looking in the direction of Typhon and had turned pale.
She slowly turned to see what the latest development was.
