Too late, he realized his mistake in that his target was less than four feet away from him and closing.
The explosion was quite satisfactory in the amount of force, it was just that lying with his body singed the way it was on the stones was hardly how he'd planned celebrating his triumph.
Oh wait a minute. One of them had survived and -
This was going to hurt, wasn't it?
Selune paused as something sufficiently bizarre to prick her attention did so. A drow elf praying to the Goddess Of The Moon?! Eilistrae was the goddess of the drow, wasn't she?
Selune determined that the odd cleric/mage was attempting to...
Oh. That looked interesting. Hmmm.
Maybe if she gave one of her minions the task of granting those spells and the semblence of that Queen. Could be amusing. The power was already lying latent in that crystal.
What was her name? Serenity? How intriguing.
"AAAAAA! What do you mean it's official?!" Akane demanded of the matron behind the counter.
"You both used your hanko (signature stamps) on the appropriate papers prior to visiting the wedding chapel," explained the woman. "What's the matter, dearie, cold feet?"
"NO! That's not it!" Akane declared. "I can't possibly marry Gosunkugi!"
"Yet you did," pointed out the matron. "It'll take a week to file the annulment if you want to start filling it out, Mrs Gosunkugi."
"AAAAAAAAAA!" Akane screamed.
Cologne had handed out clothing, gotten more and handed that out, and was pondering methods of communication.
She'd at least been able to get names on some of Ryoga's rescuees. Though the boy was apparently lost again. She'd have to look into her charts and see if the Mongol Navigator shiatsu point was listed, it wouldn't do to have the boy getting lost during some Epic Quest kind of thing.
One girl had pointed ears, a long thin tail, yellow eyes, fangs, and a light blue fur. Her name was Dieja and she was apparently a woodsman-warrior (Ranger) of some kind.
A blonde blue-eyed elf who was fairly short and had some old injuries that kept her limping was Danithelle and as near as Cologne could figure out, she was a researcher of some kind. The girl had inspected every book she could come across.
There was a golden skinned girl with startling purple eyes who was a weapons using warrior of some kind. Cologne could read that easily enough.
Another elf, dark of hair and eye, with broad wings that had been crippled some time ago. Cologne wasn't sure how to heal such a wound, and so sent a missive to Phoenix Mountain. Perhaps they would assist, perhaps not. She was counting on curiosity to bring them if anything would.
A six inch tall elf, one with dragonfly wings and apparently a fondness for a Mongolian brandy she'd left unstoppered. She was asleep in a drawer at the moment.
One girl was apparently made entirely of brass that had been dinged and stained over time. The green eyes in that brass body were strange, as were the four arms, but if she could be fixed up - she'd make a lovely waitress.
One elf had no tongue and from the motions, Cologne thought it likely her captors had cut it off.
There were the others as well, but without a common language getting information was difficult and slow.
Cologne looked up puzzled. If she didn't know better, she'd think that was the sound of a panda getting severely beaten.
Genma-panda leapt, unleashing the full power of the yamasenken!
whirrrrrrrrrrrrr
The mynah bird spun the panda around in a blur and threw.
Poom! Wham! Crash! Bang!
Genma lay there in the wreckage of what had once been a dojo, having been slammed through three perimeter walls in order to put him back on the Tendo property. This fight wasn't going nearly the way he had expected it to. Even unleashing the sealed techniques had provided no relief.
trudge trudge skip trudge trudge
Groaning in pain, Genma slowly extricated himself from the wreckage. The words of the cards came back to him again. Unless he did something, this silly looking bird would kill him!
"I'm back boys, and what a haul this... okay who did the redecorating? It looks like either the JSDF or maybe Pantyhose got a power up?"
Genma raised his head up. Mynah bird was still heading towards him. Dread Master was back with several bulging bags and a backpack.
Genma decided his best move was
