Not only did she just transform herself into some sort of wind-up toy/android superweapon....
Probablity of Termination: 98.67%
#OhShitOhShitOhShitOhshit! #
But she seemed to be hard-wired to obey her kid sister's idiot fiance... and defend him with extreme prejudice.
The world was still moving in slow motion. Ryoga was just now noticing Ranma's absense and the fact that she was in his path. By the time he could hope to react a hole would be blown through his chest, eliminating the danger to the master of the key staff.
#Why can't I stop him without killing him?# Nabiki thought desprately at the coldly logical forces that has usurped her limbs.
Default Guardian Subroutine: Protection of Master of the Key Staff requires use of Lethal Force upon Assasins.
#Default? # Nabiki noted, thankful for her computer science courses, #Who can alter it? #

Subroutine Editing Access Maintanance Programmer:Not Found. Enter?
Centuries ago, on another world, technicians were occasionally assigned to double-check the programming of the cyborg weapons the great powers constructed. If need be they could fine-tune some of the lesser compusions placed upon the Demon-Gods. Normally they were part of the technical team that constructed the fearsome weapons, and rarely had cause to use that access during thier lifetime.
The nature of Nabiki's transformation, however, left that petty bit of data unformatted. Until now.
#TENDO NABIKI! NON-LETHAL DEFENSIVE TECHNIQUES AUTHORISED!! #
Maintanance Programmer: Tendo Nabiki Guardian Subroutine Edited.
With that, the energy at the time of the key staff drained into the opposite end as long-forgotten nataganta techiques came to the forefront of Tendo Nabiki's mind. The mental tug-of-war did give Ryoga a chance to change direction... for all the good it did him.
The attacks were almost childishly basic in and of themselves, but the speed and power behind Nabiki's blows added to the nerve-disruping energies cracking about the blunt blade that surmounted the Key Staff had the Lost Boy reeling before he knew what struck him. Two swift blows to the head brought him to his knees, and a thrust with the butt end that unleashed what was left of the blast she had generated earlier sent him into the wall...
... the compund wall (via half the house) to be precise...
... which them proceeded to collapse on top of him.
"Nabiki?" Ranma said softly, having managed to bounce to his feet and return to her side "Whad'ja do to... wha'happened to you?"
*sigh* "Congratulations Saotome." Nabiki hissed sarcasticly, "You've just won your very own Weapon of Mass Destruction, namely me."
It seems Mrs. Mizuhara has noted the ruckus and seen fit to investigate.
