Gina had theorized that perhaps Dr.Peachbody had gotten the DNA for Charlotte form these people. She and Brittany then offered the two a lift, as they were going to investigate an archeologist dig nearby.
Charlotte had been ecstatic, she'd get to meet some cousins! Only it didn't work that way. First they separated from Brittany and Gina and made it to Mt. phoenix. Than they had been accosted by the Phoenix people, they called Penny names! Naturally Penny had told them off. That surprised them, and then they called her names to! Things like 'Traitor' and 'Dirt lover'.
This might not have been so bad, except then Kimma came upon them, chasing after baby Saffron. Catching the tail end of the conversation the brat Saffron demanded to know what was going on. Of course the Phoenix guards immediately kow-towed to him, but Charlotte didn't. When Saffron demanded she obey him, Charlotte called him a meanie and went over to Penny.
That of course set the lord off, he demanded the impudent Phoenix be brought to him along with the 'dirtling' for punishment. Needless to say, neither Penny nor Charlotte were willing to come along quietly. Unfortunately this brought more phoenix warriors, Penny told Charlotte to find the Diggers and get help! After some convincing that she would be bale to hold out till then, and a lot of pleading and crying on Penny's behalf (who recognized how hopeless the situation was at the moment), Charlotte flew off. While Penny Covered her escape, two Phoenix guards managed to follow her. Now it became a race, could she reach help before they got to her?
Unfortunately Charlotte was paying more attention to her pursuers than where she was going. Thus when Ranma stopped to view the approaching winged girl, she didn't veer away.
*THUD* "Oooff!"
Charlotte screeched in shock as she collided with something, stunned she felt herself begin to freefall. At least until something caught her. She felt two strong hands wrap around her body, and a feeling of peace and tranquility filled her. As if all the bad things she had done were ebbing washed away, to be replaced with love and acceptance. She didn't want to leave this embrace as she felt herself being lowered gently to the ground. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked up, into the bluest eyes she had ever seen. They seemed to draw her in, even as the gold aura surrounding her soothed her fears.
"Umm Hi..."Her savior spoke. Charlotte blinked, why was she thinking of Birds, bees and Storks at a time like this? Why was it so hot. Wait wasn't there something important she had to do?
"You there! Phoenix! Hand over that traitor! She's wanted for treason against lord Saffron" A voice boomed down. Charlotte eeped, as she turned her head spotting the two armed phoenix warriors hovering above them. She pressed against the boy her saved her in fear.
Ranma blinked, turned to the two floating winged men, than back to the girl in his arms.
"Did you not hear us boy! Give her to us!" The two guards began to get nervous, there seemed something wrong about this glowing phoenix.
Ranma then frowned, Charlotte blinked as she felt herself put down. Her savior was angry! Looking up she saw him glaring at the two mean bird men who had attacked her. Suddenly she got all starry-eyed, he was going to protect her, her own knight in shining armor, just like in all those stories Penny told her!
Ranma Growled, it was a martial artist's duty to protect the weak, and these two knuckleheads were obviously picking on this poor girl. "Not on your life... I am Ranma Saotome of the Saotome anything goes martial arts... And I ain't gonna let ya hurt her!"
"Then you leave us no choice! You'll pay along with the traitor" Declared the guards who dived towards them. Growling in annoyance, the angelic Ranma rose up to meet them, golden fire dancing across his fists.
"Eeep.. think muffin! Muffin is for you! Muffin is good!" Looks like's Ranma's aura is causing a few problems...
And why is Charlotte tieing up Briana?
