Emperor Ranma of Mongo: Bug Hunt [Episode 56378]

by Kender

What most people forgot in the face Setsuna's 'mysterious and secretive' persona, was that she was human being just like everyone else. She had to eat, drink and had her own preferences about things. The difference was that she was a whole lot longer lived than other people. So, she knew a whole lot more than she had let on.

Like the fact that on one of her first journies through time, she had discovered a world in the far future where she was the only one left. Or rather, the only human being left. The only other form of animal life left on the planet in that time period was something she'd already disliked before: Cockroaches.

Just her and cockroaches. Lots and LOTS of cockroaches. And she'd looked at the eys of her other self and been terrified of what she'd found there.

Now, she later found out that she had inadvertantly stumbled upon an alternate future, but that did not change her opinion of the little vermin at all. In no way could she find any worth to the creatures, and shrank from even thinking about them.

So, she had been happy to hear a plan from the Arcadia.

*"K'hei and I have a plan!"* declared Y'uri, the Arcadia's sensor officer.

"What is it?" asked Mars.

*"We figure that the best way to defeat this thing is to flood the tunnels."*

"How do you plan on doing that?"

*"By using weapons fire to dig a trench from that lake over there to the creature's tunnels!"* commented K'hei.

"That seems to be a bit much..."

Mercury shrugged. "But it would likely be effective. Even if it didn't damage him, then it would drive Hastur out from underground."

Pluto nodded resolutely. "Then it should do just fine."

"Aren't you worried?"

"No, I'm not. Let us do it."

"I guess so..."

*"Yes! Let's start the bug hunt!"* commented K'hei. "Begging the Emperor's persmission, of course."*

*"Why not?"* came Ranma's voice.

*"Yeah! Readying weapon systems!"*


Hastur did not have much of a mind of his own, but he could recognise stimuli. Being attacked and having its body whittled away had sent it into the underground tunnels.

The earth trembling had made it sense that something was wrong. A rumbling sound made it take special notice. And the streams of water meant that it had to get away very quickly.

Out of the tunnel came Hastur.

Right in front of the massed firepower that had been ranged against him.

If it would have been able to form words, they would be something in the vein or 'Oh shit.'

In that moment,:
