Gar was standing beside Ranma. As much as he hated the new werecheetah, (well, he was still pretty jealous that Ranma had issues of "Gold Digger Swimsuit Special" and he didn't) Gar had to admit that Ranma was taking to this like a true leader. He wasn't running away at the first sign of danger. Nine hells, the werecheetah was practically leading the charge into battle! That was something Gar could respect. Wait-a-minute! Was his sister staring at Ranma's butt!?
Onoli was pretty unsure of how this werecheetah was able to heal them all. That sword seemed to have super-natural abilities with werecats. In fact, Onoli was unsure of where this new werecheetah came from. Still, he had to admit that he was thankful for the help. The Jasper of Leadership had just barely helped Onoli survive Saffron's initial assault. They needed all the help they could get to deal with this Phoenix.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Thropan couldn't help but smirk. This Phoenix was acting like a real asshole. Who the hell did he think he was, telling people that they should be thankful to become his slaves? Well, Thropan was feeling better, and thanks to this new werecheetah. Things looked like they had taken a turn for the better.
Tirga was beginning to feel cocky again. Okay, so the Phoenix had surprised him. Tirga was expecting to be able to deflect and absord the Phoenix fire with his weapon. That hadn't gone so well, and he got his striped butt toasted. Oh well, thanks to the werecheetah, he was back in the peak of health and ready to kick all butt, and... HEY! Was Sheila staring at that werecheetah's butt!?
Sheila was increibly thankful at the moment, for three reasons. First, this kind, handsome werecheetah saved her from becoming dust on the wind. Second, he revitalized her and her team-mates. She hadn't felt this healthy and strong in years. And third... Well, he was incredibly easy on the eyes. Sheila couldn't keep herself froms taring at the werecheetah's nice behind. Those tight spandex pants left NOTHING to the imagination.
(------)
Bast was now taking the current tally. "Okay, so this makes seven girls that have taken an interest in Ranma. Britanny, Brianna, Gina, Luan, Karla, Genn, and now Sheila!"
"Well, seven IS a lucky number..." Sehkmet said.
"Damn right it is!" Bast said as she smiled. "Seven werecheetah babies, all for me!"
Kishijoten second the motioned. "Yep! Possibly seven great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren, just for me!"
Sehkmet rolled her eyes.
"Hmmm..." Aphrodite said. "I wonder if Ranma will be able to use teamwork to take out Saffron once and for all, where his own power alone just fell short the last time..."
(------)
Saffron was becoming infuriated. The werecats were standing up to him again, and now he also had to deal with another group of people AND Ranma was with them, and a werecat himself now! Worse, the pig-tailed menace was weilding some strange magical sword AND he had Zeus's Shield of Aegis! "Saotome. You have no reason to interfere! I a, going to give you one chance now to turn tail and run!"
Smirking, Ranma said, "Sorry, but I'm not going to run away from this, Saffy! You have no place being in Seer's Hamlet. If anything, you should turn tail and run, before I kick your ass, AGAIN!"
Ranma smirked as this got the desired effect of pissing the Phoenix God off royally, the Phoenix fire burning more intensely than before. This was just what Ranma needed. He looked over to Sheila. "Hey, Sheila."
Hearing the werecheetah speak specifically to her, Sheila was able to get out of her haze and look at Ranma and take the situation more seriously. "Y, yes sir?"
Ranma smiled at Sheila. "Don't call me 'sir', call me Ranma."
Blushing, Sheila said, "Okay, Ranma."
The attention Ranma was giving Sheila was causing the other females present to start glaring. Why was Sheila getting all the attention, huh?
Ranma looked at the other Edge Guard. "Okay, Tirga, Gar, Onolii, and Thropan, I neeed you guys to create a bit of a diversion first. attack Saffron, but keep your distance. I need to explain something to Sheila and Brianna."
The Edge Guard nodded. They weren't sure what Ranma was up to, but he was the only person with a real idea on how to handle this particular Phoenix. Best to do as he asks then complain.
Seeing the Edge Guard go after Saffron, Ranma was using the time given and turned back to Sheila, "Now, Sheila. I am going to need your help."
"Me?" Sheila asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"I need you to hold onto my, back. I wil need you to create an aura of ice around us as I fight Saffron." Ranma explained.
Sheila was unsure of her own skill. She wasn't sure if she could take on such a task... But if it meant Ranma was going to need her to hold ONTO him... "Sure! No problem, Ranma!"
This caused the other girls to start glaring even more.
Ranma then turned to them. He was surprised to see them glaring. Was it because they wanted to fight as well? "Listen, guys, I'll need a bit mroe help. Gina, think you could take readings of what's to come? I think you might fidn it useful."
"Sure!" Gian answered, calling up a scanner from Beta-space
"Brianna!" Ranma said, "Do you have any Peebos that blast off liquid nitrogen?"
"I do. Why do you ask?" Brianna asked Ranma.
"When you see Ranma flying, let your Peebos rip!" Ranma said.
"Got it!" Brianna answered back.
Then Ranma went into action. Lifting Sheila so he was practically giving her a piggy-back ride, (and causing Sheila to start smiling like mad, and the other girls to become extremely jealous) Ranma started taking off towards Saffron, Sheila making the air around him Antarctic-cold as he asked.
Saffron was furious. These werecats were weaving about his attacks andd retalliating. Their elemental powers were no match for him, but this was getting to become incredibly annoying.For while their attacks did not hurt much, if they kept attacking, the sheer number of attacks would soon start taking their toll.
Then Saffron saw it. The pig-tailed boy werecheetah was starting to run towards him, sword drawn and sheild raised for protection. Saffron saw Ranma take one strike at him, and start to fall back. Such a tactic seemed familair to Saffron, but he gave it no heed. All he cared about was making the pig-tailed werecheetah warrior PAY!
(------)
"Those who do not learn from the past, are doomed to repeat it." Bast said sagely. To which, the other goddesses nodded their heads in agreeement.
(------)
Sheila couldn't believe what she was doing. She was watching a fight, practically from Ranma's Point of View. And that Saffron was starting to scare the crap out of her. She could feel the intense heat, and was struggling to her her elemental powers to keep them all cool. And she also wished Ranma would stop moving in circles. She was getting really dizzy.
And then it happened. They reached the center of the spiral.
"HIRYUU SHOTEN HA!!!"
Everyone was surprised at the huge monstrosity of a tornado that had suddenly sprung loose in the middle of Seer's Hamlet. The heat from the full power of Saffron's Phoenix fire, combined with Sheila's ice magoc and Ranma's cool aura, combined into an incredibly powerful version of the Hiryuu Shoten Ha.
Saffron roared as he felt himself flying up into the air, AGAIN! Well, there was no ice drill this time. He would handle himself no problem.
"ICE KAPOWIE!" Was Sheila's cry as shje let out a magical attack into the tornado. Saffron cursed his luck. This time, he wouldn't have to worry about a huge ice drill, but a huge fist-shaped piece of ice. "Oh, great..."
*KA-POW*
Saffron winced as he felt his jaw crack from the sheer force. Still. He wasn't out from the count. No, he was still going strong as he was tossed about in the air. He would make them all pay severely and... What were those little round things? Were they toys of some sort?
Ranma landed back onto the ground, holding Sheila in his arms protectively. He watched as the Peebos exploded into huge globs of liquid nitrogen. Saffron's fire was dying down incredible. Soon, there was nothing left of the Phoenix menace, nor tornado. Ranma Saotome, with the help of the Edge Guard and the Diggers, had saved the fair city of Seer's Hamlet.
Ranma smirked. "I suppose I should say something witty, but... NAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..."
