“Well not that we're all here I guess it time to start.” Breathed Nabiki as she sat at the table. Across from her was the rest of her family, the Satome's sans Ranma, the Kuno siblings, Ukyo, Shampoo, Cologne and Happosai. “So, do we all know why we're all here?”
“Mercenary girl know where airen is?”
“To find where my Ran-chan is!”
“To find my darling.”
“To celebrate my defeat of the foul sorcerer!”
“Because you think I've taken son-in-law.”
“Because my son has fled from his manly duties.”
“Ranma's gone on a training trip without me or his beloved Akane.”
“Oh my, I don't”
“Humph, I don't really care.”
“To find my precious Ranma-chan so she can model my silky darlings!”
Sighing softly Nabiki quickly processed the questions as she looked at the group. “No. Yes. Yes. No. Did you? Sort of. You think so? That's ok. You probably should.” Now the introductions had been finished it was time to start. “Before we start I want 10,000 yen from each of you. Either pay or go.” She waited until everyone besides Cologne and Shampoo had paid.
“Wednesday 23rd 7pm” Stolidly replied Cologne as she held her hand in askance.
“Uhh, never mind then.” muttered Nabiki. Quickly changing the subject before any questions can be asked. “Who saw the attack on the airport recently?”
“I have seen no such thing, but then if the Blue Thunder was not present then whatever transpired was beneath my notice.”
Upon seeing a negative reaction form the rest of the group, minus the theatrics of Kuno Nabiki moved to the TV. I was able to record this the other day.
“That... that sounded like Ran-chan's girl form.” Stammered Ukyo. Still in a state of shock. Giant robots’ fighting with martial arts was something from a manga. Besides what could she do against something the size shown in the video?
“That's why I brought you all here; the only problem with the theory is that Ranma was in the house at the beginning of the broadcast. And the airport is the airport. This would have made it impossible for even Ranma to have reached the Edogawa airport in time.” Of course this is Ranma; maybe he created a new technique which allows him to teleport?
At that point Nabiki looked over the group, Cologne was taking it the best, and she probably saw it before and just want to seem strong. The rest were all in various stages of shock, while Happosai was... crying?
“At long last... Finally!”
“What is it Happosai?”
“My dream can finally come true?”
“You're dream Happi?”
“Yes! I can finally steal the panties of a giant robot girl! And they get to be my darling Ranma-chan's to boot!” Crowed Happosai cackling madly.
The entire room were speechless at his declaration.

“Well Thrust, is there anything to report? I would so like to know when my battalion will arrive. You did send the transmission two astro cycles ago” Drawled out Megatron as he stared down at Thrust from his throne. He was getting slightly restless; there should have been word from Cybertron by now.
“Well sir... There's been sort of a bit of a problem with that.” Gulped out Thrust.
“Oh really, then tell me what problem do my troops on Cybertron think is more important than my orders?” Growled out Megatron. There were few things which annoyed him as much as insubordination.
“Well, from what I can understand, the Autobots have created a new weapon. And they tested it by destroying the moon. Our spies on Cybertron are currently trying to find out what it is, but it seems the Autobots have dug themselves in preventing us from gaining much information. Our soldiers also can’t attack them at this point as it would leave them open to the new weapon.”
“So that means not only have the Autobots found another colony of Transformers which has warriors of my stature but they have a new super weapon on Cybertron!” Roared Megatron, this was really getting annoying now. How could the Autobots have gained so much ground without my knowledge?
“It’s seems to be. Maybe this new weapon comes from the new colony?”
“Hmm, how long until Starscream is ready for an assault mission?”
“He should be fully recovered and ready for combat in five astro cycles.”
“Very well. I want you to prepare a strategy to start as soon as he recovers. We need to eliminate as many of the Autobots as possible. I want this strategy fool proof as well. If it doesn’t work Thrust…” He left the threat hanging. If they couldn’t at least equal the forces soon he might have something to really worry about.

“Ok, now that we’ve gotten rid of Happosai we can get back to business without the weird mental images.” Why the hell he’d want a giant robot’s panties Nabiki had no idea, and she doubted she wanted to know what he’d do with them either.
“Yes, I did not realise just how disturbed Happi was. Still back to the matter at hand there could be a connection between the robot and Ranma, he thought so as well.”
“Only if Ranma could get to the Edogawa airport in a few minutes. Is there a technique that you know which could let him do that Cologne?” If anyone knew Cologne would know. Now she just had to figure how she knew what she did on that night.
“As far as I know there isn’t any technique that would make son-in-law that fast. Still we should look into the fight between the Autobots and the Decepticons.”
“The what and what?” reverberated from most people in the room.
“Well we have a girl in our village who is currently working on a story, I believe they are called manga here. In it she has Giant robots fighting each other. The good robots are called Autobots, while the bad robots are called Decepticons. I thought it would make it easier is we used the names from her story.”
I guess that makes sense. You could have brought up where they were from before using the names though.”
“Heh heh, sometimes when you reach three hundred simple explanations slip your mind.”
