Way of the thief: A sound victory [Episode 99771]

by Farsan

They circled around slowly, watching their opponent's movements very carefully. Ranma knew that the amazon's twin maces gave her the advantage of reach, but somehow she didn't seem to press her advantage, just doing weak strikes and feints with the left weapon while reserving the right one, waiting for him to start the offensive.

Perhaps she didn't want to damage the house, he guessed. But that way I won't be able to surprise her easily. He tried a brief punch to test her defenses.

The result was a furious swipe from her other bonbori that would have turned his head into a bloody mess if it had connected, but he was expecting that attack, and he was able to jump back to a safe distance.

"/Hmm... not bad at all. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to keep you as a slave. You could even end up as a husband of one of our warriors, with enough training./" said the girl with an appraising eye.

Ranma guessed she was taunting him or something like that, but he had an adequate answer: he just chuckled and put a mocking smile.

The amazon growled. How did that male dare to ignore her merciful offer? She started to move her maces very quickly, in a whirlwind of death that forced him to move back towards one of the corners. He was turning out of space quick, but he knew that she would stop before the maces hit the walls of the house.

Just before he guessed she would stop, he put one feet on the wall...

"/Now you're mine!/" she yelled, seeing an opening.

... and then he quickly crouched down and charged towards her, slipping under her overhead strike and launching an open palm strike against her solar plexus, hopefully cutting her breath and enabling him to finish the fight.

But this was Ranma's first fight against a fully developed girl, and didn't realize that her... airbags would dampen his hit. Still, the blow managed to push her back, making her collide sideways against one of the cabinets, toppling it and resoundingly burying her under a small mountain of pots, pans, cauldrons and other cooking implements, knocking her out.

"Er... sorry about that." Ranma apologized, blushing up to his ears.

He pulled a medium sized cauldron that covered the amazon's head as his hard earned loot and prepared to make his exit through the window.

"/You there! Stop!/"

Just to find it already occupied by another amazon who was trying to cover the exit.

"Catch!"

Ranma heaved the cauldron and launched it towards the startled amazon, who managed to catch the cauldron before it hit her, but the moment of the heavy object made her fall backwards at the ground outside the house.

He jumped through the window, and saw that the cauldron was besides the fallen amazon, who was a bit stunned but trying to get up again. He quickly recovered his prize.

"Thanks for the help." he said before starting to flee, carrying the cauldron above his head.

"/GET THE INTRUDER!/"

"Oh, crap."
