SCLORP!
"Ze Mousse monster has declared, ze Japanese pizza is on hold," declared Bon Bon.
"UKYO-SAMA?!" Konatsu was a little alarmed to see his employer swallowed up in a blob of brown goo.
"Cheee!" Crunch! Whak! Tenderize! Grind!
"Zat was, how you say, a piece of cake," said Bon Bon. "Now, off to ze secret base!"
Setsuna knew darn well how come so many knew of the Cat Fist.
She got around, after all.
Ami had transformed back from Sailor Mercury prior to confronting Genma Saotome. Therefore the air could not be freezing around Genma. It could not possibly be turning blue.
Ami had not been able to find anything sufficiently insulting in Japanese to describe the "evil piggy eyed fat man" and so had gone on to German. German was a language well suited for ripping someone a new one. You could make a simple greeting sound like a death sentence. English was a language for communication - a series of other languages having been mixed in from its beginnings. While there were a wealth of insults available in English, German was much better for venting.
"So basically," explained Setsuna, her own ears burning because yes she did speak the language but didn't want to relay the pure level of insult being levied on Genma by Ami, "what you're saying is that your best friend and fiance from your childhood was beaten and stolen away in the middle of the night while you were watching and it took you years to recover from it and in fact you still sleep with a nightlight due to that event."
Ami paused. "Yes, that pretty much sums it up."
"Is he a youma? Can I dust him?" Jupiter asked.
Uranus didn't trust Ranma or his robots, but still was generally opposed to the whole child abuse angle. "Please answer the second one first."
Sailor Venus had remembered an old American anime she'd seen, and it occurred to her that this was the perfect time to use a particular line. She let a glow build in between her cupped fingers. "Dusting's too good for him. Hanging's too good for him. BURNING is too good for him. DYING is too good for him." Crackle. Snap. "He ought to be torn into itty bitty pieces and buried ALIVE!"
Genma gulped for a moment. Then he reconsidered. It was almost as if a little voice were whispering in his ear. These were heroes right? They couldn't do anything to him and it was just his word against this little girl, right? Right! "Hah!"
"Hah?" Ami said, surprised at this new confidence.
Genma nodded. "Some silly little girl making preposterous charges? Foolishness. Where's your proof? This is Tendo's yard anyway and if he didn't invite you then you'll just have to leave. It's not like you're capable of anything anyway, your Amazon laws have no place here."
"'Amazon'?" asked Uranus, feeling that this was some sort of insult on her breast size.
Soun heard Amazon, noticed the hair and eye colors, and followed Genma's charging into misconception. "Yes. You Amazons have caused enough trouble. Ranma! How dare you consort with these half-naked tramps and bimbos when my daughters have been kidnapped?! I..." Soun stopped as the little voice in his ear broke off into tittering.
Pluto's eyes were slits. "'Tramps'?"
Neptune looked unhappy. "'Bimbos'?"
Ranma ducked around the corner. He couldn't bear to watch this.
Moon looked at her seifuku. "'Half-naked'?!"
Sailor Venus had been joking earlier. Her expression was one of distinct discontent.
