The various odd girls, some of whom looked fairly alien, fled. The door slammed behind them, leaving Ranma alone in the lab.
Ranma checked again but other than some lights changing there was no indication he'd be able to get his arms or legs free of what looked like some sort of shackles meant to contain a giant robot or something.
He waited a few more minutes, squirming and trying to get better leverage. "You too. You'd better get out of here now, or when I get free..."
Something came off the ceiling and resolved itself into another one of these not-quite-human girls. "Interesting. You ARE dangerous."
"You gonna let me outta here, or do I have to get mad?" asked Ranma.
"Oh, I'll let you out of there," said the girl-thing. "Oh my. You ARE from outside our little universe, and filled with all sorts of ideas."
"What's a Psi-dyke?" asked Ranma.
The creature froze for a moment, then laughed. "Oh. Very dangerous indeed. You felt my mental probe and managed to get information out of it? VERY dangerous. Though I'm not a Psi-dyke, that's the pre-evolved form. Psi-dyke, then Goldyke, and finally my own stage - Dyqueen. Though that's a misleading term."
Ranma puzzled through the information he'd gotten in the exchange. "So each 'evolution' thing brought you closer to that group-mind thing? Don't sound so good to me."
"Psi-dykes are the most independent," admitted the Dyqueen. "At my stage we are mostly plugged into the One, and when I evolve to the ultimate stage I will join the One."
Ranma very carefully began gathering energy as several things clicked into place in his head. One was the overwhelming hate this creature had for anything male, and an innate cruelty that made Kodachi's worst seem inconsequential in comparison. "So if you ain't gonna let me go, what are you gonna do? You don't belong here."
"Me?" asked the Dyqueen, extending her claws. "I'm going to fry that dangerous brain of yours, lock you in female form, then maybe pass you around as a pet. You'll come to like it after you're unable to think anymore."
"Uh huh," said Ranma as the Dyqueen advanced. "Just one thing."
"Those shackles are hydraulic and capable of holding an Onyx captive," said the Dyqueen. "You're not getting away."
"Ranma Saotome don't lose," said Ranma as he felt the mental fingers return, this time thrusting in as if to scoop everything out. He fought back.
After all, he already had a plan - as his chi wasn't being blocked.
"We found the Hive all right, and we've had the local Tamers assault it. Unfortunately, we now have to change the registry on John Sexmore from Tamer to pokegirl."
"Karma," said an Officer Jenny. "One who was especially abusive to his pokegirls is now a pokegirl himself."
"So what's the distribution?" asked Tanya.
Nurse Joy changed a display. "According to the records, Ash is the more experienced Tamer, so he's getting the most. As soon as they've healed he'll get one of the Buzzbreast, the Octopussy, and the Titacruel. He already has yourself - a Tigress, a Peekabu, and a CharAmanda. He might want to trade with the other boy though. Bug/Poison, Water, Water, Fighting, Electric, and Fire types. With a duplicate Water he might want to go with one of the other possibilities."
"What about those 'sisters'?" asked the Sorceress.
"The one girl still has enough human DNA to be registered as a Tamer," said Nurse Joy. "In which case she gets her two sisters and the Shadowcat."
"I thought you were going to give Saotome the Shadowcat," put in Tanya.
"Saotome's got a problem with cats and catlike beings," said Nurse Joy.
"Maybe Master can trade the Octopussy for the Shadowcat," mused Tanya. "Octopussy are primarily lesbians anyway."
"Where is he, anyway?" asked Nurse Joy.
"Asleep," said Tanya. "Apparently he got a migraine while being psi-probed."
"Yeah, that can happen," admitted Nurse Joy. "Maybe I should stop by and do my T-L-C technique."
"Hey now," protested Tanya.
"Do we know what her sisters are?" asked Officer Jenny. "I saw that they both arrived in pokeballs and were put through a full cycle. Common types?"
