Brianna shook a finger at her Peebo Scout. "Sorry PeeBri. No big booms for you..." She smiled, "However, I have included a new tazor-option onto your stun blasters!"
"Yay!" PeeBri cheered. "Up-close combat! GO SHOCK!"
And so, as Brianna was fastening a new small, tazor-cannon onto her precious Peebo Scout, a mechanical voice echoed throughout the Lab.
"Media sample found! Media sample found!"
Rolling her eyes, Brianna sighed. She knew that when Gina had first set up a monitoring network to keep an eye on international newsbroadcasts and such, everyone was pretty sure it would be useful, keeping everyone on top of the game when it came to finding out about Lycanthropic activity around the world. Instead, what the computer was finding were a number of rather pointless news broadcasts, television shows, and old horror movies.
"It can wait..." Brianna said, and went back to working on her precious little Peebo Scout. "Hold still, while Brianna does her thing!"
"Thanks, Bri!" PeeBri said in thanks.
"You know, Brianna, you should check what the computer found." PeeGi said. "Gina always checks."
"Well, there you go." PeeBrit said. "She ain't Gina!"
Hearing that, Brianna sighed. "Since when the hell did my Peebos get in charge?" She grumbled as she walked over to a computer. She typed on the keyboard and called up an image. A Newscast from Japan. A major battle between some sort of fire-bird monster and a rather cute guy with a pig-tail... And then he changed...
Brianna's eyes widened. She ran over to an intercom and slammed her hand down on the button and screamed as loud as she could manage. "CHEEEEEEEEEEETTAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! GIIIIIIIIINNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! GET YOUR BUTTS DOWN HERE!!!"

In the offices of Agency Zero, the head of the Agnecy, an 'Agent M', was watching a telvision set intently. A Phoenix. A damned fiery phoenix had appeared in Tokyo and was causing mass amounts of property damage.
And there was that human fighting the phoenix. Either he was very brave or very foolish. Probably both.
And M watched the fight, genuinely wondering how people watching this were going to take to it. It was a tremendous fight, and it seemed like the poor human couldn't get an egde in...
And then M recieved a bit of a surprise. The boy wasn't even human. "What is that?" M wondered. "He looks like some sort of werecheetah, but the color is slightly off.
M leaned back in his chair and continued to study the scene, while making a mental note to contact his old friend Theodore Diggers. He would probably want to hear of this. Most definitely.

In his office in Hokkaido, Gothwrain was taking time out of his busy schedule to watch the evening news. He had spent a lot of time working on the budget earlier that day, and decided to keep in touch With what was going on with the world. It made him want to laugh, seeing how pathetic the humans were with their interest in such mundane things as sports, music, and their travesty of political leaders...
But there was one story. Coverage of an event in Japan. A Phoenix! Well, that was very surprising. Usually beings of magic were secretive when in the Earth Realm, not wanting to attract attention to themselves or their species...
And the Phoenix seemed to be attacking the town, no, a martial artist. The town just happened to be unfotunate as to be the vicinity of where the battle was taking place. Still, no skin off his nose. They had nothing to do with the Phoenix race. So this event would make for good coverage and...
Then Gothwtain's eyes widened, his cigar falling from between his fingers and landing on the floor. Gothwrain practically shit a brick in his pants. "No, it couldn't be..."
The scene was so vivid, and brought back up old, powerful memories of Gothwrain's. The prophecy of the Wererat Clan's Seer. A powerful, fanged cheetah leaping through a wall of fire. Gothwrain himself had seen the prophecy when the Seer projected it. And this was the exact same scene.
The Prophecy was being fulfilled!!!
Gothwrain didn't know what to think. He had worked so hard to make sure that the werecheetah race had been extinguished, even had the survivors being watched. And now, out of the blue, there's a new werecheetah! A monster of a werecheetah. "Ah well," Gothwrain thought, "Hopefully my fire magic will... Protect... Me?"
Seeing the werecheetah literally tear out a Phoenix's throat with it's jaws, and not flinch, Gothwrain DID shit a brick. Oh hell, this thing seemed to be immune to fire. Oh hell, was he ever screwed!!!
But then... As if someone was listening to Gothwrain's prayers, he watched as the demon werecheetah, and the Phoenix corpse literally fell into a canal, the water steaming and bubbling well beyond it's boiling point as waves of steam shot up. The Phoenix and the werecheetah were gone, leaving behind one heck of a watery mess. The water had become so hot, it had melted the concrete that made up the canal.
"Oh shit... That was incredible..." Gothwrain mumbled, and reached a shaking hand for a cigar. It seems that the werecheetah had vaporized itself with the Phoenix and the water. Still, it wasn't something to take lightly... "If there was one, there could be more..." Gothwrain muttered. He'd have to send a few men down there to question survivors of the attack.
But first... Gothwrain felt a need for a few doses of Valium...
(------)
Britanny, Gina, and Brianna were crowded around a computer screen, having watched the new-report. All three looked a little down. "I can't believe it..." Britanny muttered. "Another werecheetah, and he bites the dust..."
"I know what you mean..." Gina said. She had been interested, seeing a phoenix, but she had become genuinely excited once she watched the nice studly guy turn into some sort of breed of werecheetah... "Poor guy... Vaporized in a splash of water..."
Brianna sighed. It looked like there had been a chance for survivors... But now... The one they saw was being listed as dead. "What a bummer."
All three Diggers girls sighed and gave a moment of silence for the recently discovered and lost werecheetah.
(------)
"ACHOO!!!" Ranma sneezed, quite violently. He had his head turned so he would not sneeze in the girl in his arms, nor her brother that was leaning on his shoulder.
Looking up at Ranma, Sheila asked, "Do you have allergies?"
Sniffling, Ranma said, "Not that I know of."
