The devastation caused by the chi-powered hurricane was impressive enough to shock Ranma from her disgust induced stupor. "Wow!" the redhead breathed, looking at the mass destruction caused by the technique, "I've gotta learn more techniques like this!"
The two martial artists then turned their attention to Usagi, who was now on the far side of the plaze. While two of the Genmas had been slain by the Hiryu Carimbou, one managed to survive and was continuing to menace the girl, while Meso Kamen attempted to rouse the fighting spirit lying dormant within her.
"I'm scared! And disgusted!" Usagi wailed, crying as Genma loomed over her.
"Kyu!" Meso Kamen declared, his small black eyes shining with intense emotion, gesturing towards the bunny slipper wearing martial artist Pod Person.
"But I don't have any ultimate attacks!" Usagi replied tearfully, as if she had understood some deeper meaning behind the orange koala's noise.
"Ultimate attacks with custard creams make for fine conversation!"
"Kyu, Kyu!" Meso Kamen insisted confidently.
"Really...?" Usagi asked, dashing away at her tears, before forming a fist and glaring at Pod-Genma, "Yes, you're right, Meso Kamen! I see it now!"
Pod-Genma just grinned, moving for the zipper of his combat fatigues.
"Not so fast!" Usagi yelled, diving to the side and ripping up a manhole cover from the street. Easily lifting the eighty pound cast iron sewer cover as if it were nothing, she tossed it at the uncommonly evil Pod Person with a cry of "Manhole Frisbee!"
The metal disc flew true, decapitating Pod-Genma with a spurt of green plant goo before he could unzip his trousers. Then it proceeded to fly in a wide arc and return to Usagi's waiting hands. "Oohf!" the blonde gasped as she was knocked on her rear from catching the heavy item of pod person destruction.
Picking herself up, she whispered her thanks, "You were right, Meso Kamen. I must believe in myself to triumph over evil!"
But the orange koala bear had vanished. Mysteriously.
"Meso Kamen-sama..." Usagi whispered, her voice a mix of longing and determination.
"That was cool, big sister!" Kurumi yelled across the plaza.
"Uh... Kurumi?" Ranma nudged the younger girl.
"Yes, other big sister?" Kurumi turned to Ranma, smiling brightly even as Usagi began to jog over the town square to join them.
"Do you think you can tell us which one is your original big sister now?" the aquatransexual pointed at the scene which had completely captured her full attention from the moment she laid eyes on it. two ruined pods, with two naked, slime covered Natsumes lying on top of each other, Natsume's clothes ripped into tiny shreds and scattered all over the place.
With eerie synchronicity, both Natsume's picked themselves up. "What is happening?" asked one, her voice dull and monotone.
"You are a copy of me!" the other declared, her voice equally lacking in emotion.
"No, you are the copy," the first retorted, before turning to the others present. "Little sister, you should help me defeat this imposter!"
"Kurumi, you know I am the real Natsume!" her counterpart shot back, still not sounding overly emotional as she also looked towards the three girls.
Kurumi started to tremble as she looked between them. "They're both acting just like big sister! I can't tell which is real!" she wailed, turning to look at Ranma with big, pleading eyes, "Please help me, new big sister! I don't know what to do!"
Ranma just shrugged helplessly, holding her nose to keep it from hemmoraging as she did everything she could to avoid looking at the two nude Natsume's, neither of whom seemed overly concerned with covering themselves up at this point.
