[Episode 33965] [Episode 33965]The Outers looked up alertly as the door swished open and a woman entered escorted by two droids. The droids had been based on Ranma's sketches for samurai robots, but the Central Defence Computer had interpreted his designs to give them a decidedly insectile appearance. The Outers dismissed these heavily armed guards as typical servitor drones that would go down after a few weak blasts. They decided immediately that the woman was obviously the most dangerous one in any battle, dressed as she was in an impractical, sexy, leather outfit.
Her legs were encased in thigh-length high-heeled latex boots that seemed to have been poured onto her long legs and moulded into place. The black leather jacket over a matching basque corset, near-crotch-revealing short hot-pants, and silver-trimmed, high-peeked cap made her seem to anyone else to be a bizarre fetishist's cross between a neo-nazi biker bitch and a bondage queen dominatrix. However, to the Outers she looked every inch a model of a modern magical general.
"Greetings Princesses of the Earth System, I am General Mille, at your service." She snapped her arm across her breasts in her version of a crisp military salute and devoured the women before her with hungry eyes. Three of them, even the butch blonde, were proof that her young Emperor had excellent tastes. The child was unexpectedly young, but the weapon confirmed for her that Ranma wanted his seraglio to double as bodyguards and Mille made a note that training them young was acceptable. It was the costumes that caught her eye. Were they the latest Earth fashion or uniforms of some kind? She hadn't thought of uniforms and wondered if perhaps she should copy the design.
"I trust that you've all had a pleasant journey?" she enquired in a pleasant tone. "If there are any complaints those responsible will be dealt with."
Setsuna pushed aside the tea service and rose to her feet. "It was remarkably relaxing," she noted in passing, wondering when the other boot was going to drop.
"Excellent," Mille exclaimed with a touch of disappointment as happy princesses meant no one to discipline. "Ah well, then I expect that you are eager to get underway. After all, the sooner we get started the sooner you can be presented to the Emperor!"
"Then by all means lets go!" Haruka commented with eager nervousness. Not having to wade through increasingly powerful minions was a disturbingly new development but certainly saved time and hassle. "Please lead us to him."
"Please walk this way!" Hentai General Mille chimed as she lead them to the airlock.
"I wish I could," Michuri muttered as she enviously watched the General sashay along the corridors.
"Uh huh," Haruka agreed and tried not to drool.
"Welcome to Cloud City!" General Mille anounced as the lock hinged outward to form a ramp.
The Outers gapped as they absorbed the vista. Cloud City was well named as it was a citadel hovering above the clouds of Mongo. A large citadel. Fleets of shuttlecraft of alien design patrolled the sky around the city, as did smaller vehicles and the occasional humanoid figure on wing or jet pack. The docking platform was connected to the city proper by a bridge lined with an honour guard of samurai drone droids in two long, straight lines all bristling with an assortment of medieval and futuristic weapons.
Not having to wade through the enemy's minions was starting to look like a very pleasant alternative indeed.
"If I may ask," Michuri asked nervously, "how many of these droids do you have?"
"Gosh, I don't know the exact number," Mille exclaimed. "The factories have been churning out the new models ever since the new Emperor took charge. However, I expect he will soon have an unstoppable invasion force to lead! Isn't it fantastic!"
"Oh, it's just wonderful!" Haruka muttered darkly.
