Part 4
Back at the fight in the empty lot, Ryouga reassessed the situation with Ranma.
'There's something odd about this guy,' Ryouga thought to himself. 'He's cocky…but what is he cocky about?'
"I'm waiting," Ranma says, as he stared at Ryouga with not expression.
Ryouga quickly thought of a plan.
'If Ranma can create pressure-based attacks, maybe I can do the same…THAT'S right!'
"Okay, Ranma!" Ryouga yells. "Here I come!"
Ranma cocks his left eyebrow, as he sees Ryouga running towards him.
'Good,' Ranma thought to himself. 'I can't read his next move. Time to test him…'
Ranma immediately unleashes a pair of 'vacuum blades'.
SWISH-SWISH!
Ryouga notices the displacement effect that Ranma's attack was making.
'Now!' Ryouga says, as he modifies the "Breaking Point" technique.
"Breaking Point Revise: AIR BURST!"
Ryouga stabs at the air several, causing explosive discharges.
POOM! POOM!
The counter-attack disrupts the vacuum blades.
"Ha!" Ryouga yells. "Now, I got you now!"
"You're not the only one!" says a voice from behind.
Ryouga suddenly stops, as he and Ranma both turns to see Shampoo and Mousse standing nearby, ready to do battle.
"What the heck are you guys are doing here?" Ranma asks.
"We want to make sure that you are you, husband," Shampoo says tenderly, as she twirls her pair of Chinese-style maces (called "bonbori").
"Speak for yourself, Shampoo!" Mousse says. "I want to defeat him so I can be worthy of your affections!"
"This is MY fight!" Ryouga yells. "Back off!"
"You know, with all three of you here, I can REALLY loosen up," Ranma says, as he dropped into a different fighting stance.
"Is that…a 'Hun Gar' stance?" Mousse says, as he prepares for his assault.
"Doesn't matter," Ryouga says, as he proceeds with his attack. He was hoping that a quick, explosive blow would knock Ranma off balance long enough to finish him off.
"Breaking Point Revised-!"
Just as Ryouga was about to initiate his attack, Ranma upper cuts the air. At the same time, a large piece of stone juts out of the ground. This had the effect of knocking Ryouga high into the air.
"Ulp-!"
"How husband do that?" Shampoo says.
"Never mind that!" Mousse says urgently. "We have to defeat him!"
KLONK!
"Ow!"
"You don't talk to Shampoo like you own her!" Shampoo says.
"S-Sorry," Mousse says meekly.
"Good. NOW we can defeat—not kill—husband."
And with that, the two went on an attack vector.
Meanwhile…
"Hmmm," Usagi says, as she locked at the object that held her rapt attention. "I don't think it can fit, Mamoru."
Mamoru Chiba, also known "Tuxedo Kamen" raises an eyebrow.
"What do mean by that?"
"Just look at it, Mamoru. It's too small and thin for my needs. In order for our situation to work for me, I need it long and big. Otherwise, I won't be satisfied-"
"WOULD YOU STOP WITH THE INNUEDOS?" Rei yells.
Mamoru and Usagi both look up from their work. Usagi theorized that a power-converter would help her to create a trans-dimensional that could send her back to her own world. So, with the help of Mamoru's engineering background, Usagi was building a…Stargate.
"What are you talking about, Rei?" Mamoru says with a frown.
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Usagi says. "I need the measurements to be exact if the flux capacitator is able to hold the energy plasma in perfect suspension."
"Really?" Rei asked.
"Really. So we have to make sure that the application end matches the theoretical, which is what Ami is working on."
"Oh. Well, sorry about that."
"Hey, no problem, Rei," Usagi says. "Besides, I don't DO innuendos. If I wanted to seduce Mamoru, we would have already be in the afterglow moment by now, especially after I would…"
Usagi leans over and begins to whisper some of her 'special bedroom techniques' into Mamoru's left ear.
DOING!
Mamoru's hair stands on end.
"Usagi!" Mamoru yells. "You're not supposed to know stuff like that!"
"What?" Usagi says with a shrug. "I been alive long before there was a Japan. You got to learn to spice up one's relationship."
"What did Usagi say?" Rei asks.
"Um, you really DON'T want to know," Mamoru says with a blush.
"But I can SHOW you-" Usagi began, as she begins walking up to Rei.
For a brief moment, Rei felt a powerful, erotic forces emitting from this doppelganger of her friend.
"USAGI!" Mamoru yells.
"Sorry, it was just a suggestion, you know…"
Meanwhile…
Ranma continues to punch at the air, as more rock formations sprout up around Mousse and Shampoo.
"What kind of sorcery is this?" Mousse yells as he leaps over a rock formation.
"It does not matter, Mousse," Shampoo says, as she smashes another rock formation. "We are to fight husband!"
"Huh," Ranma says, as he decides to adjust his tactics a bit. So, he decided to move his legs in a single, circular movement.
WOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM…
Suddenly, Shampoo's movement slows down, as she began to sink into the earth.
"Eeek!" Shampoo says in surprise.
"Shampoo!" Mousse yells, as he takes a quick glance towards Shampoo's direction.
"Ahh, don't worry about her, Mousse," Ranma says. "I simply…put her in the penalty box. Relax."
"Relax THIS!" Mousse says, as he threw off a volley of sharp objects at Ranma. Ranma uses his left hand to grab one of the chains connected to an object.
"Got to do better than that, Mousse."
Mousse merely smirked.
ZAAAAAAAAAAP-!
Ranma felt an electrical discharge, as his hair stood on end.
"I was saving this attack for when we would fight," Mousse says. "I learned to harness the power of the eel, after 'the old ghoul' had ordered a shipment of those things for this month's 'specials'."
ZAAAAAAAAAAP-!
Ranma grimaced slightly. Usually, electric-based attacks tend to be more problematic to deal with. Still, it was not as if he was completely powerless…
"You like to play with electricity?" Ranma says, as he raises his index and middle finger high in the air. Already, his hands began to sparkle and arc.
"Let's see how much you can take."
Ranma increased his 'sparkler', as he called his finger form, as the sound of a thousand birds can be heard at a rapid, high-pitch screech. Normally, the Chidori was a concentrated technique that could only be utilized as a single blow affect. However, over the years, Ranma learned to harness the build-up, by combining the Chidori with another attack: Lightning Bending. Lightning Bending was an offshoot of Firebending, which relies upon the ability to generate the electrical impulses from within one's body. However, the greater effects relied upon using the local biosphere to increase the effectiveness of the attack. Ranma simply uses the idea of creating a build-up of electrical energy as a means of generating the necessary kick to-
ZAAAAAAAAAAP!
The feedback knock Mousse backwards quite a ways, as he flips up and over.
"Ouch," Mousse winces, as he body smokes.
Meanwhile, Ryouga, who was already coming down from his ascent, sees the action that was going on.
'What kind of monster is he?' Ryouga thought to himself. 'I got to stop him!'
Cupping his hand, Ryouga begins to generate the familiar sickly-green aura around him.
'If I don't beat him now…I will never be able to beat him again!'
A green sphere is formed in his hand.
'This is for you, Akane…for ALL of US!'
"Shi-Shi Hokodan: PERFECT!" Ryouga yells, as he released his attack.
As the sphere descended, it began to increase its size…to that of a house.
As he lets go of Mousse's chain, Ranma senses a powerful energy attack. However, the attack gave off a wave of depression…a LOT of depression.
Ranma looks up to see Ryouga's energy attack.
"Oh, boy-!"
WHOOOM!
Meanwhile…
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG-!
Usagi, as Serena-Thordis (the Norse "All-Mother"), slammed her war hammer, the Mjolnir, unto a piece of metal. The material needed to create the eye of the Stargate, had to be refined. So, wearing only overalls, a heavy smock, her metal gloves and goggles, Usagi began to mold the piece of metal to the desired shape.
"Rei, I need more flame," Usagi says, as she stuck out the piece of metal.
"What do I look like to you?" Rei complained. "I'm a SHRINE MAIDEN, not a metal worker. And why are you half-naked anyway?"
Usagi pauses her work to look at Rei.
"Rei, I need your help, okay? I can't both heat up the metal AND shape it. And my overalls are more than sufficient to keep my modesty intact, okay?"
Rei grumbles, as she threw another fire charm into the backyard grill pit.
FWOOM!
"Good," Usagi says, as she put the metal into the flames. She then turns Ami.
"Ami, keep the pit as cool as possible without going cold."
"I'll do my best," Ami says, as she directed her henshin rod to keep the sides of the pit cool. She did like the fact that THIS Usagi had shown the Sailor Scouts how to access their senshi powers without going full Sailor Scout…
"But I'm worried that the integrity will soon be compromised."
"I only need twelve primary widgets," Usagi says, as she retrieves the piece from the pit. "I only a few more to make."
"Wow," Makoto says. "Usagi looks…BIG."
"No kidding," Minako says. "She looks so powerful…"
"I'll say" Michiru says, as she begins to have fantasies involving a Usagi, in Valkyrie garb, on horseback...with Michiru's arms circling Usagi's waste.
"Hey!" Haruka says, as she noticed that Michiru was daydreaming about THIS Usagi…again.
"Hmmm?" Michiru says, as she looked at her girl-girlfriend. "Did you say something, dear?"
"Grrrrr!"
"Oy, Michiru!" Usagi called. "I have another one!"
"Coming!" Michiru says enthusiastically, as she comes up to use her powers to spray down the piece (since Ami was busy with the pit).
"Thanks," Usagi says.
"Um, are you free this afternoon?" Michiru says. "I can use a strong…hand in putting up some cabinets at my home."
"Michiru, I said I'd do it!" Haruka says. "I've just been busy."
"Well, don't worry about a thing. I'm sure Usagi can fulfill...my needs."
For the first time in a long time, even Usagi had a "big-sweat" moment, as she noticed how aggressive Michiru was getting…even for HER.
"…"
Meanwhile…
The ground shook, as Ryouga's attack fell on top Ranma's head.
THOOM!
The force of the blast knocks Ryouga back, but he still manages to land safely.
"Ha!" Ryouga roared with pride. "I did it!"
"Yay," Mousse says weakly. He may not have been the one to finish off his hated rival, but at least Ranma was no more.
"No!" Shampoo screamed in anguished. "Husband can't die!"
Meanwhile, Cologne and Happosai was observing all this.
"Huh," Cologne says, as she smoked a long pipe that she shared with Happosai. "You think 'son-in-law' had bitten more than he can chew?"
Happosai takes the pipe and draws a long smoke.
"No," Happosai says.
Back at the empty lot, the energy sphere seems to bubble. However-
"Why your attack no disperse?" Shampoo asked, as Ryouga helps her out of the quicksand.
Ryouga frowned. The Shi-Shi Hokodan attack should have dissipated-
FWOOM!
"Huh?" Ryouga and Shampoo say in unison. Walking out of the pit that the attack made, with Ryouga's energy sphere in hand, Ranma reveals himself no worse for wear.
"That was SO awesome!" Ranma says with enthusiasm. "I haven't felt an attack like that since the Frieza incident on Namek!"
"…"
Tbc.
