But this was home territory to Ranma and even if they were tough fighters wherever they came from, he knew the place better than they had. Heck, he could find his way around the place blindfolded, and pretty much had when getting up in the middle of the night. Which gave him a great advantage that he was exploiting in the face of their seeming lack of any cohesive style and confusion.
It was also a heck of a lot of fun to leap around them in ways that frustrated annoyed them.
"Stay still!" barked the blond as the pigtailed boy bounced around like a monkey on the landing above them.
"Try and make me!" laughed Ranma.
"I sure will!" came the scream.
"What? Someone going to help you?"
"Why you... SPACE SWORD BLASTER!"
"Hey, what's... That hit the kitchen! Kasumi put her heart into there!"
"It was supposed to be you that it hit!"
"Then lemme show you how ta hit..," the pigtailed boy growled and leapt down to the first floor.
The blond got into a ready stance, prepared to defend against an attack... but was caught off guard as the boy moved faster than expected and slammed a fist into his opponent's gut. It came up in an acring motion, knocking the breath from the blond, who doubled over a bit at the strike. Smirking, he held his stance for a moment, allowing his opponent to fold over his arm with a pair of breasts pressing into his arm...
'Wait a sec... Breasts?' Looking down, he saw a long length of leg exposed by a rather short skirt, similar to the one that the brunette girl had been wearing. "You're a girl?!"
She merely coughed a bit and glared up at him as she struggled back to her feet.
"Uhhh... I didn't realise that ya were a girl..."
"What does it matter? I'm still going to beat you..."
"Nobody beats Ranma Saotome."
"Just because I'm a girl, right?"
"Nah... 'cause I'm the best martial artist that around 's why."
"Well, then, let's see how good you really are..."
With a sigh, Ranma shrugged. "Fine by me..."
"Let us help," the fancily dressed man commented, and got smacked by a shinnai.
"You've got your own problems," Akane snarled as she hit him several more times for good measure, "you housewrecking, perverted wannabe kidnapper!"
"OW! OW! OW! Stop that!"
"Not on your life!"
Mars glared at the youngest Tendo. "You leave him alone!"
"So you're helping him be a pervert!"
"What?! That's insane.."
"No, it's..."
Everyone STOP THAT!
"Eh? Ami?" "Where is she?!" demanded the longerhaired brunette.
"Why should I tell you? You'll probably want to wreck her too."
"Who me?"
HELP! RANMA! REI!
"Well, someone does," Ranma snarled and ran for the room that he shared with his father. Akane spared a look at the three intruders and decided that helping the transformed girl would be a better choice at the moment.
Which left the two Senshi and the masked man wondering what to do. They looked at each other for a long moment, each silently asking each other for some sense of what was happening. Then with a growl, they leapt up, heading after the departed pair, following them to a room. Getting there just after them, they looked over their opponents' shoulders to see a panda about to smack a laptop with a sign.
"Hey, Pop! What the heck d'ya think that ya are doin'?!" demanded the pigtailed boy.
"Growf," the panda said imperiously, and flipped up a sign. *I'm just trying to protect you from being too gullible.*
"You're just bashin' Ami!"
*And just how can a girl turn into a computer?*
"How does my old man change inta a panda? Magic!"
*Don't worry boy. I'll deal with this for you!*
Taking the sign from the panda's hand, Ranma slammed his father in the head with it. "How's about ya don't?!" "Yeah!" growled Akane glaring at her prospective future father-in-law, "Leave the poor girl alone!"
*I can't let the machine manipulate him,* went the panda sign.
"She's asking for help and you're trying to destroy her?!" the youngest Tendo daughter barked as she whacked him with her shinnai.
Watching the pair beat up the panda, Mars blinked for a moment. "Hold on... If they're trying to keep that animal from hurting Ami, and it was hitting the computer..."
Uhh... hi Rei. Mamoru. Haruka.
The sudden sound of their comrade's voice made the trio stare at the laptop for a moment, while:
