The Kitty Senshi were getting along (with two notable exceptions) with the Original Senshi.
"This is terrible!"
"Well, I don't think it looks terrible!"
"ARTEMIS!" Chomp!
"Ouch! Let go of my tail!"
Ranma blinked. Some gal and a guy were talking? He didn't see them. Was it an invisibility technique? Slowly, a chill travelling up his spine, he looked down.
"This is thoroughly improper! It's a mess! What are you going to do about it!" The black cat glared up at him.
A white cat leered at Mineko-chan. "I don't know about that. Don't you think that ribbon around her tail looks cute?"
"AIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Ranma ran.
She didn't know it, but in a way Francine N Stein (who sometimes went by her married name of Furter before the "idiot" left her for "someone without a maniacal bone-chilling laugh") had come home.

Fortunately Nerima had a suitable number of insanely powerful martial artists around. All that was needed was to wait after a fight and she could collect the loser, put them in Tank #10.
The settings for Tank #10 were numeric formulae, but she'd quickly decided that lacked suitable villainous elegance and had put sticky labels over the settings on the big lever that seemed more poetic.
She'd set her current project on Dark Lieutenant. Not enough to defeat the Kitty Senshi but enough to buy her a precious second or two to escape. She'd added to this one the recovery abilities of a Tasmanian Devil and the keen senses of an Iriomote Yamaneko!
