[Episode 68340] [Episode 68340]Nabiki looked up from her breakfast to see a man standing there. He was a stranger, and the scent on him screamed werewolf to her. She nervously closed her arms and legs closer about herself.
"I'm Jetta's brother, Sander," he said, sitting down at the kitchen table, well away from Nabiki. She noted the last part with obvious relief.
"Aren't you supposed to be guarding her children?" Nabiki asked quietly.
"They'll be safe," Sander said. "We're moving some of the non-fighters. Gina didn't say where her gate goes, but she promised it was very far away. All the people on the other side smelled a little like Strype."
"Why didn't Jetta or Ranma come to talk to me about this?" Nabiki asked, guessing his intention.
"They're going to," Sander admitted. "I... uh... wanted to meet you."
Nabiki felt a cold shiver work up her spine at those words. She most definitely did not want to deal with any romantic interest right now.
"I know Jetta already said this," he continued. "But I have to as well... one of us has done you a great crime. I w... if there is anything you need of me, don't hesitate to ask."
He paused then, looked down and away from her in shame before standing back up.
"Wait," Nabiki said softly, and he lowered himself down again. "Thank you... but... I just... leave me alone right now."
"As you wish," Sander said, leaving the room again.
As he left, Nabiki watched him for a moment, and then returned to picking at her food. Occasionally her eyes drifted to the telephone, but then they quickly pulled back to her food.

"You're not checking your ammo, Bri?" Gina asked.
"I think we pretty much decided that I don't need ammo," Brianna said as she looked over her gun. "I AM the ammo."
"Brianna, think about it for a moment," Gina said. "You take magic of some kind and feed it into your guns. What's that going to do to one of these girls? Like Danielle?"
Brianna froze at that and considered the fact before slumping a moment. She sighed and then stood up, shaking her head.
"I'll have to check the ammo after all then," she said. "Damn I hate this, gotta get use to these powers while dealing with Brendan. It sucks."
"I know," Gina said. "But at least you get to do something, Brit and me are getting left behind on this one."
"For good reason, Gina," Bri said. "We don't want that freak getting a hold of you, too! Besides, you're still doing something. Just not on the front lines."
The communicator flared to life and Penny's face appeared on the screen.
"Gina, they stopped moving for a bit," she said. "I've recorded the location in case it's important, but they're already moving again. What's the word on the recovery team?"
"I'm out," Gina said. "So's Brit, Brianna and our parents are going to represent the Diggers on this one. You don't think they know we're tracking them, do you?"
"Even if they do," Penny said. "The tracker is in this Sakura girl's ass. What are they going to do about it?"

Danielle Carter, the Pink Avenger, a crime-fighter extraordinaire.
That was before she was bitten by a "rabid dog" walking home in her civilian identity one night. It was clear to her quite rapidly that the dog was no dog when the changes began and the urges entered her mind. By the end of the day she'd been completely enthralled and wondering why she had started to fight it.
She still wasn't completely willing, but the parts of her that were still fighting. She couldn't hear them anymore, at least not while she was awake. Not until something extreme was put before her, like trying to kill the Edge Guard, and those mages at the observatory. That hadn't felt right at all...but she'd never tell the master that.
The sound of a beeping attracted her attention then, and she picked up one of the strange devices she was known for.
"Hold it," she called stopping her run and calling for the others to do so as well. "Something is emmitting a signal from our position."
"A signal?" Selena said. "You mean they're tracking us?"
"That's what I'm suspecting," Dani said, nodding.
"But how could they get a tracking beacon on us?" Sakura asked from where she was still carrying Kodachi, the other were hadn't woken up yet.
"Good question," Dani said, following the reading of her sensor to Sakura, and further...down to her ass. "Remember that bullet?"
"Uhhh..." Sakura said.
"Hmm, we can't use claws," Selena noted. "Or magic for that matter."
"Hold still," Dani said, blushing a tad as she moved to massage the firm ass of the martial-artist's rear-end.
"Ooo," Sakura gasped, blushing herself and trying not to wiggle.
"Found it," Dani said, gripping a part of Sakura's rear end that held something more solid than flesh. "Put the other girl down, we have to get rid of this before we go back to the master."
"Uhh, how do we do that?" Sakura asked upon setting Kodachi down. The unconscious were shifted a little bit at the action, showing that she was still alive and probably waking up soon.
In the next moment Sakura was down on the ground being held by Selena and Dani.
"Hand me that knife," Dani said.
"Knife?!" Sakura gasped.
"Selena," Dani said, ignoring Sakura. "This is a spork."
"It's pokey," Selena offered.
"It's plastic," Dani said, poking Sakura with it. "It won't penetrate."
"I'm confident in my sexuality," Sakura thought firmly as the two attractive older women discussed how to dig around in her hind quarters for a foreign object. "I'm confident in my sexuality. I'm confident in my sexuality. Why am I thinking about Karin? I'm confi..."
The shing of metal leaving a sheath changed that mantra.
"They'renotgoingtokillme.They'renotgoingtokillme.They'renotgoingtokillme."

Brendan frowned a moment, but hid it quickly. His thralls were late, and that would indicate bad news. For the moment, however, he had other concerns.
"So I see I'm not the only one banished by my daughter's inexperienced rule," he said coolly to the small group of weres gathered before him. "It took sometime to contact you all."
"Get on with it Brendan," a werewolf said. "If you think we're about to trust you, think again."
"But you're here, aren't you?" Brendan asked, smiling.
"You mentioned away to rebuild the clan," another were said. "Without needing that human sympathizer."
"Yes, Jetta does have a soft spot for those weaklings," Brendan said. "But she is the only fertile female werewolf."
"She also has three times as many werewolves loyal to her and her husband as are in this room," a listener reminded him.
A sound from the back of the lair attracted his attention and he saw his thralls slip in, Kodachi and Sakura limping as they walked.
The lack of Penny Pincer meant that they had failed in their mission, but Brendan was not overly surprised. They'd have to be punished still, but just for form. In any case their entrance was timed perfectly.
"Oh really?" Brendan asked, indicating the women and girls that had just entered. "In our time hiding away from the rest of the world, we seem to have forgotten one thing. Lycanthropy is contaigious."
"You mean those four are thralls?" a werewolf demanded.
"Fertile females," Brendan corrected. "Willing to do whatever you ask of them. Including kill and bear children. It would only take a generation or two, and then we can again leave the disgusting humans to their little games."
"Now this does have merit," one of the five listeners noted.
"Induct worthless humans into our clan?" another noted. "Pollute our bloodlines? I think not."
He growled and stood up to leave.
"Selena, please," Brendan said lightly as the werewolf stocked away.
"Going to sic one of your little pets on me weakling?" the disagreeable were asked. And then he was awash in flame from the witch's magic.
The charred body gasped out once before falling to its knees with Brendan walking close to him. He was weakly trying to stand when Brendan's foot crushed his magic-weakened skuill.
"So, these are the terms," Brendan said. "Join me and earn yourself an obediant mate...or refuse and die."
None of them refused. Brendan smiled. Now it was just a question of where to attack next. Wolves' Den, perhaps?
