Ataru had barely pressed the button on his remote control device when he was struck with a phaser blast. Predictably, the Most Lecherous Boy in the Multiverse went down like a sack of potatoes. Whatever he had done, they had been too late to prevent him from doing it.
"Is he...?" asked a nervous Ranma, remembering that of the three of them, Tom Paris had the biggest reasons to hate the little letch.
Tom Paris shrugged "No, my phaser was set on Stun, he'll be taking a nap for a loooong time though" The Starfleet officer went to the main computer's control board "Now to find out what the little weasel has done..."
Xander searched Ataru and relieved him of all his gadgets and weapons. Once Xander had finished his task, Clark teared a metal beam from a wall and tied up Ataru with it. Ranma checked the coffins Ataru had brought with him when he appeared a few seconds ago.
"Oh, good... Their names are written on the damn things. Let's see... Dita Liebely, Meia Gisborn, Jura Basil Eden, Barnette Orangello, Parfait Ballblair, Celtic Midori, Misty Cornwell, Ezra Vieil..." Ranma frowned at the word repeated on every coffin under the names of the girls in stasis "Vandread ? Hey, it's the dimension where Hiroshi and the old ghoul were sent ! Guess they didn't do that good then..."
Xander reacted at the name "Vandread ? This place is really Anime Paradise, wow !"
Clark looked at the sleeping girls. At least, that Ataru guy had taste or was it that these anime dimensions had a disproportionate ratio of attractive/cute/sexy women "What's their story ?"
Xander smiled "Oh, typical space opera/giant robot stuff with a twist. Men and women had been at war for several years then a female pirate crew has to cooperate with a few men to survive. They're on a starship trying to get Home while pursued by a nasty organ-stealing alien race"
Tom Paris raised an eyebrow at that "Sounds familiar..." He threw a look at one of the coffins and saw the sleeping face of Meia Gisborn with her metal eyepiece "Very familiar indeed... They even have their own borg"
Suddenly they heard yells and explosions coming from the corridor where Ranma's girls had been left standing guard.
"What's happening ?" yelled a distraught Xander.
Clark concentrated and his X-Ray vision went through the reinforced walls. What he saw wasn't encouraging "The girls are under attack !"
"Confirmed" said Tom Paris as he accessed the security protocols on the main computer "That remote device Ataru used must have sent a signal to all his loyal slaves. They're converging on here !" Everyone could see the numerous red dots on the screen heading for their position. Things didn't look good just now.
"How many ?" Ranma didn't like this. He really didn't want to fight girls, especially brainwashed ones, dammit ! The possibility he would have to face someone from Nerima was making him extremely uncomfortable.
Tom turned to face the others with a grave expression "Too much... I don't know if we can stop them"
