[Episode 40634] [Episode 40634]Britanny, for her part, let out a grunt of as this 'Stripe' slammed her into the ground on her stomach, his clawed hand around her skull, making sure her jaw impacted with the ground rather fiercely. "GRAAAAARH!" Stripe growled. "Surrender, sweetlings! Neither of you are match for a Rakshasa.
Britanny's answer was to use her right arm to get some leverage and then use her left arm to perform a rather powerful elbow strike to Stripe's jaw, to return the favor. "GET BENT, PSYCHO!!!"
Ranma had to duck as this 'Stripe' went flying over her head and landed behind the fountain. Ranma made her way quickly out of the fountain and stood beside Britanny. She held up her hand before them; they glowed with a powerful magic. "Stay where you are fiend!"
'Stripe' just levelled a glare at the two weres as he shook his head to clear the dizziness. "Ur... A bit tougher than I thought..."
Narrowing her eyes and glaring at this jerk, Britanny cracked her knuckles as this 'Stripe' stood up. "I know you're NOT my Muffin, so who are you?"
Smiling, 'Stripe' answered, "A predator to your species, sweetling. As I said, I am a mighty Rakshasa! I can mimic the skills and abilities of anyone I know-"
'Stripe' was then flung back, he was caught off guard as Britanny rushed him and connected a rather powerful upper-cut to his jaw again.
Ranma blinked. "Britanny, you don't have to be so rough. We already had him on the ropes."
Britanny turned her head to Ranma. "Never give your opponent any breathing room. You give them and inch, they'll take a mile and furthermore-"
*WHACK*!
Ranma was surprised and barely stood on her feet, as she caught Britanny. Something literally hit Britanny with a powerful force. They both looked over to what happened and saw... ANOTHER BRITANNY!?
This new 'Britanny' cracked her knuckles and smirked. She was wearign the same loin-cloth and chest and midriff cloth that 'Stripe' was wearing before. "I told you, I can mimic the skills and appearances of anyone... Including yourselves..."
Ranma was about to speak, But Britanny, ever the stubborn one, would not stay down. "Listen you! You may look like me..."
Britanny threw a punch, the other 'Britanny' dodged and kneed Britanny in her right side.
Britanny growled, that had hurt! "You even sound and SMELL like me..."
Britanny did a sweep-kick, making the fake 'Britanny' yelp in surprise as she was knocked off her feet.
"BUT YOU AIN'T ME!!!" And with that, using the momentum from the sweep-kick, Britanny raised her leg high and slammed the heel of her foot down into the stomach of the other 'Britanny'.
*WHAM*!!!
Ranma's jaw dropped. "Britanny! That was SO COOL!!!"
Britanny smirked. "Naturally..." Grabbing the other 'Britanny' by her neck with her left hand, Britanny raised her right hand in a fist. "Any last words!?"
Waving her hands in a defensive manner, 'Britanny' screamed, "I SURRENDER! MERCY! I GIVE UP! PLEASE!!!"
Britanny growled. "Oh? You want mercy? YOU WERE TRYING TO KILL RANMA AND ME! If our situations were reversed..."
"I wasn't going to harm either of you! I SWEAR!!!" The copycat screeched.
Britanny narrowed her eyes in anger even further. "Yeah, uh-huh... Suuuuure... That's why you had the glowing eyes and the sharp teeth, right? Prepare to take your punishment, you flakey jerk!"
However, before Britanny could pummel this copycat into pulp, she felt a hand gently wrap itself over her own. She turned her head slightly and saw Ranma. "Britanny..." Ranma began. "Don't hurt her..."
Raising an eyebrow Britanny asked, "Ranma, this jerk was trying to hurt us, abd possibly have its way with us!"
Ranma sighed. "Britanny, I have been trained as an aura mage, you know. As such, one of my abilities allows me to see the overall intentions of a persons soul. Once you were able to hold this person still, I could see there is no malice to this doppleganger."
The other 'Britanny' nodded her head. "Yes! I was only trying to paralyze you two with fear so I could eat without either of you ladies resisting and ruining the meal..."
Britanny fummed. "You were gonna eat Ranma and me, huh? You call that NOT harming us!?"
"Not you!" 'Britanny' said. "I feed off from Etheral Forces only living humans and demi-humans possess."
Hearing that Ranma became rather understanding. "I see. You're a magical being... You need that type of nourishment to sustain yourself."
"Yes!" 'Britanny' agreed. "I'm starved!"
Both Britanny and Ranma were then surprised as the copycat changed again. Changing from Cheetah's form, it changed into a small, rather effeminiate boy. Bronze skin, pointed ears like an elf, silver hair, and a pair of horns done back like an antelope. "Please excuse my sudden change. Your form takes too much energy to maintain. I'll have to use my own."
Britanny shrugged her shoulders. "Listen, I want to know why you pretended to be my boyfriend and why did you then attack us?"
The Rakshasa blushed slightly. "I can only feed off an aura if the target remains totally still. Usually, we Rakshasa... We... Um... 'Play' with our to fatigue it so it falls asleep. We then take the ether while it is gently sleeping. That was my plan at first... But with a mage with such a refined aura," he said as he looked at Ranma, "And my own hunger, it made me impatient, and I hoped to scare you two into fainting so that I might eat sooner."
Britanny tilted her head to the side. "Why didn't you just ask? I can remain totally still if I want!"
"No you can't." The Rakshasa said. "The Ether transfer is extrememly ticklish! You'd move and draw the ether back into you and take some of mine with it!"
"Excuse me, Mr. Rakshasa..." Ranma began. "If you're so hungry, why don't you go someplace else to find prey?"
Sighing sadly, the Rakshasa answered, "I can't! This place has too many traps surrounding the exits! I've been here for millenia, with just this fountain to sustain me. It keeps me alive, but I'm always hungry!"
Britanny looked over to Ranma. She could see that young, innocent, hopeful look in her eyes. Britanny sighed. Ranma was always too caring about those in need. "Okay... We believe you. But will you show me to the treasure f we spare you?"
The Rakshasa blinked his eyes. "I don't know of any treasure... But I can show you around.
Britanny nodded her head. "All right. You're of the hook. But watch yourself, buster!"
"Thank you." The Rakshasa said. "By the way, my name is 'Genn'."
Ranma smiled. "Please to meet you Genn. I am Ranma McKraken. And this is my dear pal, Britanny 'Cheetah' Diggers."
And with that, out trio left the alcove to search for the other to members of Ranma and Britanny's party. As they walked, Britanny looked over at Genn. "By the way, what the heck are you? A boy or a girl? I can't tell!"
"We Rakshasa can change genders if we want." Genn anwered. "With us, it usually depends on who pays for the inn roon. Currently, I am in my neutrel form."
"Weird..." Britanny said as she rolled her eyes.
"It's not all that weird." Ranam said. "Some species are naturally neutrel. Like worms for instance..."
"Thank you." Genn said to Ranma. "You know... You two really are quite lovely... Both with Pysical beauty, and Ranma... You have the most exquisite aura..."
Britanny sorted when she saw Ranma blushing.
Genn continued. "We could still have a good time if you'd both like. I have ESP and I used it to find out about Stripe, Gina, and Lydia from the both of you. I could also use it to guide my body to please you exactly the way you want, where you want."
"No thanks!" Britanny said. "We're not interested."
Ranma nodded her head. "And I'm not of age."
Genn continued. "I could change back to Stripe if you'd prefer..."
"Don't press your luck..." Britanny practically growled...
"R, really?"
