To Ranma's surprise and relief, the three people who came into view were males. They seemed as lost as him in this huge fortress. Something tugged at his mind, they seemed familiar somehow...
Two of them were black-haired teenagers, one was unarmed and the other had an european sword, a crossbow and... wooden stakes !? The blonde man with them wore some kind of pajama-looking black and red uniform. He had also some kind of high-tech device in one hand and something looking like a tiny vacuum cleaner in the other.
They spotted Ranma's group and moved into attack positions. The girls formed a defensive perimeter around Ranma, to his great annoyance "Hey, I can fight on my own !" Of course, they didn't listen to him. Protecting their love and master from harm was in their programming.
"Stand back, Ranma, we're going to deal with them" declared Honey, who had switched into Ai no senshi mode. She had not been impressed with Ranma's performance in combat during the last encounter. The other girls nodded in approval.
"Did you say Ranma ?" said the teen with middle age weapons. He slowly approached, his hands raised to show he didn't mean any harm "Merciful Zeus ! You're Ranma Saotome !!! There's an anime series on your adventures back home !" He looked at the various girls with the pig-tailed martial artist "You're all anime characters ! Giles will never believe this one !"
The other teenager joined him, followed by the blonde man "So you're not Ataru Moroboshi ?"
Ranma blinked then frowned "No ! I'm not that perverted letch ! I'm here to rescue my fian... friends ! There's no way I'm letting him transform them into his loveslaves !" These guys were speaking perfect english. Thankfully, he knew enough of the language to get by.
"Say what !? That's why he's kidnapping women ?" The blonde man seemed upset "Why that..."
"Um... Excuse me but who are you ?" asked Honey.
The blonde man introduced himself first "Lieutenant Tom Paris of the starship Voyager. I'm here because this Ataru guy has kidnapped all the women on our ship, including the captain and my pregnant wife !" Wow thought Ranma No wonder he's pissed "We opened a door leading here but I was the only one who got through in time before the device we'd jury-rigged blew up. I was a little lost until I stumbled on my companions here"
The armed teenager smiled "I'm Alexander Harris but call me Xander. Same story here. Ataru got my friends Buffy, Willow, Cordelia and Faith as well as all the attractive girls in Sunnydale. Although he can keep Drusilla if he managed to get her"
Lastly, the other teenager spoke "My name is Clark, Clark Kent. I managed to jump right after Ataru in the dimensional portal he uses to go from world to world. He's got my friends too" Many of the girls whistled. Having Superman, even a young version of the Man of Steel, with them was an incredible stroke of luck.
"Well, I'm Ranma Saotome. I got here with the help of someone who doesn't like what Ataru is doing. I 'freed' these girls but there are many more still being brainwashed"
The girls introduced themselves too and the two groups decided to join. They wanted the same thing after all. Alita turned to her master "What are we going to do, Ranma ?"
