Ranma froze and grew stiff instantly recognizing Nabiki's sensual voice whispering into his ear, as the woman pressed herself up against him and began groping him. A mixture of emotions ran rapidly through him, but one thing was for certain: Nabiki was the most dangerous girl he knew. He feared her mainly because she attacked in ways he didn't know how to defend against. So his natural response wasn't too difficult to understand; he shrieked like a little girl and leapt upwards as fast as possible. He didn't even realize that his panicked response to a perceived threat had inadvertently caused one of his new augmentations to activate—his Thermopitical Cloak. A pair of claw marks appeared on the ceiling as he latched on.
Nabiki blinked in surprise—her mouth falling open—as Ranma vanished from her embrace.
"What the..." Nabiki wondered as Genma and Nodoka turned around to see what had happened.
Seeing Ranma missing, they joined Nabiki in looking around wildly.
"Nabiki, dear, what happened?" Nodoka asked urgently.
"I don't know, Mom," Nabiki replied. "I was just greeting my fiancée, the usual way, and he suddenly vanished."
"You hear a scream?" Jo Carpenter asked as she stood in the lab's firing range with her 'sister'. Jo appeared to be about sixteen years old. Her silver hair was cut in a short shag style and her eyes were crimson red. She was dressed in a shiny black bodysuit with red trim. The suit covered her from her neck to her feet, ending in a pair of thick-soled boots and clinging to her muscular female curves. Over this she wore a short red jacket and a pair of—currently empty—tactical holsters were strapped to her waist and thighs.
"Yes," Rei Ayanami answered dispassionately before she fired off an energy blast at the target down range, destroying it. Like her sister, Rei appeared to be sixteen years old. Her pale blue hair was also worn in a short shag style and she also had crimson eyes. Her attire was similar to Jo's except her bodysuit was dark blue with white trim and her jacket was white. She wore a single pistol—a Sig 10mm Sig Ultra—in a tactical holster on her thigh. Unlike her sister, her curves were much softer in appearance and her bust, while modest, was much more prominent
"Just checkin'," Jo replied, curiously looking around the sound proofed room, before taking out two more of the targets with her two massive H&K 13mm Magnum pistols.
Of the two, the silver-haired Jo was the more expressive, though that wasn’t saying much, and it usually came out in the form of aggression. Her bustier, blue-haired sister had a more detached demeanor. She spoke only when questioned, and even then her answers were unnaturally concise. Jo was also the more physical of the pair, with her lean, hard muscles clearly visible under her skin tight bodysuit as they rippled with her movements. Rei, in contrast, seemed almost frail; she was certainly the more feminine of the two.
Both girls were created by Dr. Ritsuko Akagi. They were genetically engineered to be super-soldiers—the first of what Dr. Akagi hoped to be many.
"They're simply wonderful," Dr. Kasumi Tendo smiled from her monitoring station.
"Yes, the girls have exceeded our expectations," Dr. Ritsuko Akagi agreed from her position behind Kasumi. The bottle-blonde had her arms around the brunette's shoulders, and her chin rested on Kasumi's shoulder as she looked at the data on Kasumi's monitor. "I'm positive our girls will wow them at the Evaluation Trials, and we'll get all the funding we’ll ever need."
"I just wish we could have let them grow up normally," Kasumi said in a regretful tone. "It would have been nice to let them be children."
"Maybe next time, Love," Ritsuko said to her lover. "I know how much you want children to raise."
"You know I love Jo-chan and Rei-chan as if they were our own daughters," Kasumi said, "but I think their rapid growth and lack of a proper childhood will hurt them. They are just so quiet and detached. I worry that they won't be able to fit in with normal society once they leave us. I would really like for them to be able to have some sort of life beyond just protecting us from the gynoids."
"I know, love," Ritsuko smiled at the care her partner had for their 'daughters'. "And I'm sure they will do fine. They might be engineered to be super-human fighters, but they are still women with all that entails. I can't wait to see their reactions when they become attracted to someone." Ritsuko grinned with anticipation.
"Father was supposed to begin the final phase of his project today," Kasumi mentioned, her tone sad as she spoke of the man who had all but disowned her because of her 'unnatural' relationship with Ritsuko. "I do hope that nothing went badly wrong for him."
Ritsuko smiled in amusement at what passed for her lover's vindictive streak. The girl was just too nice sometimes.
"Don't worry, Sweetheart," Ritsuko advised. "No matter what the hide-bound old fool is able to field, the performance of our 'Angels' will make his efforts fall woefully short of the mark."
Kasumi smiled warmly and gave Ritsuko a hug. The pair continued to hold each other as they watched their daughters continue to train.
Ranma faded back into view, as he fell back towards the floor, bound to hit the ground hard with his back. This was extremely lucky of course, because while Ranma was no stranger to the glomp, this was the first time a girl had ever pressed a pair of erect nipples into his back. Disturbingly enough, this Nabiki seemed to know how to touch him in all the right ways. In other words, Ranma was sporting a big bulge at the moment, and falling the other way would have been a hell of a whole lot more painful. He briefly wondered what sort of crazy masochist his alternate self was to want to be engaged to such a pit viper as Nabiki, before hitting the ground.
Ranma slowly picked himself up from off the floor, groaning and grimacing from the pain he felt from the back of his head, before proceeding to dust himself off. He eeped when he noticed it—the huge bulge tenting his too tight pants—causing him to grow beet red, as he desperately tried to hide the evidence, by pulling out his alternate’s white shirt that he was forced to borrow.
Nodoka raised an eyebrow, feeling a strange sense of pride that she couldn’t explain.
Genma frowned. The boy was turning out to be a real embarrassment. Forced to look at it, he thought the size of the bulge to be awfully uncivilized.
Nabiki was dressed professionally in a dark skirt suit. The skirt was a bit shorter than was strictly considered appropriate, stopping four inches above her knees. Under her dark blazer was a cream colored blouse with a ruffled tie. Her chestnut brown hair was in the familiar bob style. Finally, her questing eyes fell on him and a hungry smile spread across her lips.
"There you are," she purred, drawing the older couple's attention to her.
Ranma's eyes widened in panic as Nabiki began to seductively stalk towards him on her slender high-heeled shoes, her hips swaying in an incredibly sexy way. He felt like the mouse again, something his cat side resented. Thankfully, her progress was halted by Nodoka's hand on her arm.
"Nabiki-chan," Nodoka said, "One moment. Unfortunately, we have some bad news."
"Oh?" Nabiki prompted impatiently. She wanted to get back to dragging her fiancé off to have her way with his newly improved body.
"This isn't your fiancé," Nodoka informed the girl.
"What do you mean? Of course that's Ranma," Nabiki insisted.
"I'm afraid not," Nodoka said before explaining what had happened just before the procedure took place.
"So you're saying this is an alternate version of my fiancé who appears to be some sort of uneducated brute?" Nabiki asked darkly.
"Correct," Genma chimed in. "It's obvious this boy is not my son. My son would never allow himself to be seen in public with such a disgustingly large bulge on display."
“Hey! That ain’t my fault. You try bein’ molested like that,” Ranma protested.
"Also, we really must do something about the boy revealing his abilities in public," Genma grumbled. "We can't have the competition finding out about the project's capabilities before they are unveiled."
