[Episode 213402] [Episode 213402]Ranma lay in what was now the equivalent of a mud puddle while a trickle of water came down from overhead to slowly drench his head. He had landed on his back, but his wings seemed to be alright, and nothing seemed broken. But then, he had just fallen only about a meter by his measurements.
A few seconds later, Jane and Six came floating down to land on his belly. “Well, it worked,” Jane said as she looked him up and down.
“I noticed,” Ranma growled after using a spell to tone down his voice. It was kind of strange, magic just appearing in his head just because he was a dragon. He hadn’t really asked for it, but… Ranma figured that karma had finally decided to stop making him its bitch and start paying him back for all the suffering.
Jane blinked at hearing Ranma’s comment. “How did you-Oh I’m not talking about the dragon transformation, that was never in doubt. I just added a little something to the mix to try and cure your curse.”
“What?”
“Rakshasa.” When Ranma still had that clueless look on his face, Jane decided to give a full explanation. Note to self, have Ranma work on facial expressions. Dragons weren’t supposed to look clueless.
“They’re another race that can change their shape, although they’ve got far more leeway with it than dragons. They can also change their sex as desired. Since I couldn’t remove the magic causing your sex change, I just worked around it. The curse you have may have tried to change you into a female dragon, but since you didn’t want to be one, you didn’t change. Or, maybe you just changed and changed back so fast it was impossible to tell. Point is, that little problem’s fixed.”
Ranma blinked, and then looked down at himself, or further down since Jane and Six were already standing on his body. “But I don’t have a… uh… you know.”
Jane blinked, then looked over to Six. Her co-wife only responded with a shrug to show she had no clue what was going on either. “You don’t have what?” she asked after looking back to Ranma’s face.
“You know, it’s… the part that makes me a guy,” Ranma finally got out before he looked away from the two women in embarrassment.
The two other dragons looked at each other again, then back to Ranma’s crotch, and finally up to his face. “Why would you have those things?” Six asked.
“Ranma, you’re basically a giant lizard,” Jane added. “You aren’t going to have that stuff hanging out for everyone to see.”
Ranma’s mouth dropped open as he interpreted what Jane said… in the wrong way. “You mean I’m not gonna have a… you know… anymore? But I’ve seen you guys naked! You’ve got all the… girl parts.” With his admitting of that Ranma tried to draw himself in on himself in an almost instinctive need to make himself smaller.
Jane sighed and rolled her eyes. She looked over to Six, but since it seemed she got stuck with the title of Ms Know-It-All, the explanations were up to her. “No. When you’re in human form you’ll have a penis and everything else. It’ll work just like a humans and everything. When you’re a dragon, sex will work in the dragon fashion.”
Ranma let out a loud sigh of relief. “Okay I didn’t know that, sue me!”
“Sue?” Six repeated to herself too low for the others to hear.
The young dragon’s defensive reply made Jane smirk. “So would you mind changing into your human form? Or do you want us to keep here scratching your underbelly?” she asked rather seductively at the end. When Ranma’s clueless expression told her he didn’t get it, Jane rolled her eyes. “It’s a male dragon’s equivalent to having their penis rubbed.”
“Sue,” Six mumbled to herself again thoughtfully.
Jane’s comment froze Ranma solid for a second, and then had him moving wildly a second later. Oh crap. Change back, change back. How do I-Ranma thoughts stopped cold as he suddenly realized how it worked. He closed his eyes and willed the change to his human form.
As she created a spell to carry them to the shore, Six tried tasting the word again. “Sue.”
Jane looked over at Six as she continued her mumbling. What’s with her? Jane cleared her thoughts and looked back down to Ranma.
The new Iron dragon had apparently forgotten to include clothes with his transformation, and it gave Jane the chance to admire her work again. Ranma’s new human form was a little different than his old one. It was a little more muscular, and much more toned. Obviously his ego had a hand in shaping it, although not much since Ranma was not a seven foot tall Adonis with a three feet long dick.
His penis looked as small as his previous form’s actually. Well small at least in comparison to Jane’s former husband’s. She hadn’t actually seen that many examples of human reproductive organs, and didn’t really want to.
The girls landed next to him and Jane took the liberty to recreate his clothes. “So, how do you feel?”
“Good,” Ranma replied as he looked himself over. He raised a fist towards his face and flexed a muscle. “Strong.” The boy opened his hand and watched a ball of fire appear. “Powerful.” The flame disappeared, and he looked over to Jane with a smirk. “I think I’m gonna like this.”
“SUE!”
“GAH!” Ranma shouted before jumping away from his other wife and into safety.
And still the same loser as always, Jane thought as Ranma shook in her arms before she dropped him onto the ground. “Six, what’s your problem?”
“No, Sue,” the other dragon repeated.
“Huh?” both Ranma and Jane replied.
“My name! I want it to be Sue,” Sue repeated.
Jane looked over to Ranma, and then over to the other dragon. “Like in Susan?”
“No, just Sue,” Sue corrected. It was short, sweet, and had the underlying meaning of being able to take everything a person owned and them not being able to do a damn thing about it no matter how strong or powerful they were.
Ranma stared at Six with a clueless expression. “I thought that was her name,” he whispered to the dragon with longer hair.
The comment made Jane roll her eyes. “No, you people just butcher a proper language to the point where one thing sounds so bad it’s mistaken for something else. Damn barbarians.” They had tried to correct Ranma on the way back from China on how to say Sue‘s old designation, but found the whole effort somewhat futile. While there was some minor difference in the name Sue and a Japanese person trying to say the American word for six when it came to pronunciation, she didn’t think anyone would notice.
“Hey! Japanese is a proper language!” Ranma exclaimed.
Jane rolled her eyes. “Please, you people are still using runes for crying out loud. Everyone else on this planet has letters. Get with the times.”
“It is an alphabet! And what do you mean everyone else, the Chinese have one that‘s just like it… at least when you look at how everyone else writes,” Ranma grumbled.
How Ranma thought the even more barbaric people from Herb’s country were going to help with his argument, she didn’t understand. “You mean Herb’s people. Oh yeah they’re REALLY progressive over there.”
“That’s just one part of China that you saw,” he countered.
“Pfft! We saw the whole country before coming here.”
“From the sky when you were carrying me back to Japan. That doesn’t count!”
Jane rubbed her head and sighed. “We didn’t fly into the country Ranma. We also had to walk to that stupid mountain range.”
Unnoticed by either of the other two, Sue stepped back and assumed her natural form, then brought her hand down between the other members of her family to make a wall to stop the pointless argument. “Can we go home now? After that little bit of magic, I’m too tired to go through all this.”
Glad the argument was over before Jane decided to escalate it, Ranma quickly agreed. Jane did a well, although she crossed her arms and grumbled about it. She did feel rather tired, and trying to show Ranma the error of his ways was almost always a headache.
