Part 10
Meanwhile, back on Earth-Prime…
"Um, WHAT did you DO to this…Ranma?" Nabiki says, as she reads the medical report. She had come around to let everyone know that the operations to get HER Ranma and Usagi back from the other Earth. However, upon entering Holodeck One, she sees a mass of erotic flesh.
"Um…we just had some fun with him," Akane says with a hint shame and embarrassment.
"Yeah, lighten up, Nabiki," Ukyo says defensively. "It's not like we weren't with Ranma, you know."
"That's not the point," Nabiki says, as she looks at the Ranma of Earth-1…who was still unconscious with a wide grin on his face…
"Nabiki, we might have done 'son-in-law' a favor," Xian Pu says, as she picked her teeth with a tooth pick. "If OUR Ranma was more experienced in the beginning, he wouldn't have been so indecisive in deciding who he liked to most."
Nabiki turns to face Xian Pu.
"Aren't you suppose to be married or something? And have a great-granddaughter who IS married to our Ranma?"
"Amazon Law allows the Joketsuzoku to have certain…liberties."
"No kidding. But the larger "
"Why not partake samples of 'fresh Ranma-darling'?" Kodachi asked. "I'm sure he won't mind."
Nabiki looks at Ranma (One).
"No, because I have standards."
"And we don't?" Akane says.
"Apparently not, especially in YOUR condition."
"…"
"Okay, we wait until Ranma…gets over his euphora-"
BEEP-BEEP! BEEP-BEEP! BEEP-!
"Yeah?" Nabiki says into her modified wristwatch.
"Um, Nabiki?" Makoto asks, as her voice came through the watch. "Have you seen Usagi?"
Akane rolls her eyes. She might be cordial with the Moon Princess, but she was NOT about to be THAT nice to her "rival"…
"No, I thought she was with you?"
"Well, she was supposed to be with me helping in the kitchen. So, I sent her out to pick lemons for lemonades, and then…she was gone."
"Damn," Nabiki says. "I was afraid of this…"
"What is it?" Ukyo asked.
"We should have realized that sooner or later, Usagi or Ranma's enemies would show up to harass them…OR their counterparts. The only reason why none of Ranma's enemies took advantage of THIS Ranma is the fact that THIS Ranma was with YOU four."
"Then what should we do?" Ukyo asked.
"You and I will find her, of course," Nabiki says. She then turns to her watch.
"Makoto, anything else?"
"Um, I wanted to get in contact with the other 'Inners', but I have been unable to contact Rei. Then again, she was doing her 'Justice League' stuff."
"We'll go find her, and then begin our search. I'll contact you if I find anything. Nabiki: out."
Chirp!
Nabiki turns towards Ukyo, Xian Pu and Kodachi.
"You girls ready to go 'rabbit hunting'?"
"What do you propose?" Xian Pu asked.
"We use our other guises, of course…"
FLASH!
Standing at least 6'5, Lokidis flicks her hair.
"Oh, okay," says Ukyo, before-
FLASH!
Sifdis check her battleaxe before strapping it on her back.
Xian Pu and Kodachi turn to look at each other, and smile a knowing smile towards each other…
FLASH!
Kwan Ying the Merciful and Hildis examine each other.
"Really, when I agreed to have a mortal form, as a way to interact with the mortal, I never expected to be called upon so…soon," says Heldis, as she smirked. She then turns to look at the other Ranma.
"Now, THIS, I do not mind," Hildis says. Whenever a god merges with a mortal, the mortal form gets enhanced to reflect the trappings of the god. That is why "Hildis" looks like an enhanced Kodachi Kuno…
"As long as I can continue to be a warrior, I do not mind showing mercy," Kwan Ying says, as she twirls her divine spear. "However, I do like being the avatar of the Chinese Goddess of Mercy…"
"As least we agree on the warrior bit," Sifdis says.
"Let us be off, then," Lokidis says, as she prepares a spell. "We will find the doppelganger of our Moon Princess-"
"EXCUSE ME?" Akane says.
The four goddesses turn towards the youngest Tendo sister.
"Yes?" Lokidis asked.
"I have one little question: WHEN THE HELL YOU OTHERS BECAME GODDESS?"
"Ah, a while back, when you were kidnapped by the Master," Sifdis replied.
"And does Kasumi know this?"
"Um," Lokidis began.
"Don't tell me SHE's in on it?"
"Well, she the avatar of Freya, the Goddess of Nature."
"Feh, figures…"
"Akane, we didn't want to involve you in this because you were starting a life with Ranma," Kwan Ying says gently.
"And besides, you're pretty far along, sugar," Sifdis interjects.
"Well, it's NOT fair, you know."
"Relax," Hildis says, as she coos softly…while she stroked the other Ranma's right cheek. "We need you here to watch over THIS Ranma."
"Yeah, I can see THAT. But still…why can't I be a goddess?"
The goddess turns to look at each other…before nodding their heads collectively.
"Akane?" Lokidis says.
"Yes?" Akane says tiredly.
"We wanted to wait until you went through your pregnancy first, but I can damper the jarring effects of the merging."
"You…can?"
"Sure, sugar," Sifdis says happily. "In fact, you were supposed to merge with the greatest Valkyrie to ever grace the Great Halls of Asgard."
"Who is…that?"
"'Brunhilde the Great'," Lokidis says. "And, she was the lover of Tyr in the old lore."
"Why would I want to have a thing with Usagi?"
"No, silly," Hildis says. "In the new lore, Brunhilde can be the lover of Prince Ran, God of Heroes."
"Huh?"
"It's you, silly," Kwan Ying says. "'Ran' is Ranma, and YOU are supposed to be his lover. And I'm not even Norse to know this."
"Oh."
"Look, I have been authorized to bequeath Brunhilde's sword to you, in case something has happened to Usagi."
"Usagi…is doing this for ME?"
"Yes. You're a part of the family, so to speak."
"But…what about my baby?"
"Your pregnancy will not have any effect on Brunhilde's form, and vice-versa. I've been pregnant as the Trickster, but not as Nabiki."
"Oh, I see…"
"But, you have to look after this Ranma, though, while we search for the other Moon Princess."
"Okay…"
"Good."
Lokisdis turn towards Sifdis.
"Sifdis?"
"Right," Sifdis says, as she produces Brunhilde's sword. It was sheathed.
Akane looks at the sword. It was of an intricate design that was made from Viking artistry…
Sifdis hands the sword to Lokidis.
"Thank you," Lokidis replied. She then turns to her sister, while presenting the handle to her.
"When you pull the sword out of its sheath, you will become Brunhilde," Lokidis says. "When you want to be mortal again, all you need to do is sheathed your sword."
"Oh, is THAT all?"
"Akane, one more thing. It's very important that to know you limits."
"WHAT limits?"
"If you do not have your sword in your hand or on your person longer than one minute, you will automatically revert to normal."
"Why is that?"
"Like I said, I have to factor in your pregnancy for this to work."
"Oh."
Akane looks at the handle.
With one sigh, Akane grabs the handle of the sword, and draw the sword out of its sheeth.
FLASH!
Brunhilde appears, decked in female Viking fighting gear (including the winged helmet) in her 6'6 frame.
"I live again," Brunhide says. "And yet, I am also 'Akane Tendo'…"
Brunhilde then felt her ripped, flat stomach.
"I…I am with child?"
"Brunhilde, much has passed since Ragnarok," Sifdis says. "For example, this is Loki in her new incarnation…as 'Lokidis'."
"The Serpent survived?" Brunhilde says angrily.
Kwan Ying turns towards Hildis.
"She certainly has Akane's temperament," Kwan Ying says, as Hildis giggles.
"I should run you through for causing Ragnorak-!" Brunhilde says, as she stepped forward, only to have Sifdis stop her.
"Stay thy hand, sister," Sifdis says. "We are in a new lore. Lokidis is not our enemy…though she possesses a sharp tongue still."
"Indeed," Lokidis says with a smirk.
"Does honored Thor know this?" Brunhilde asked.
"Thor has become Thordis, the All-Mother of New Asgard," Sifdis says. Father Odin made sure that when the new cycle of the gods have come about, the new lore will change to maximize the most peace amongst out kind."
Brunhilde looks at Lokidis with a weary eye.
"Why should I not run you in, witch?" Brunhilde says.
"For one thing, we are sisters now," Lokidis says. "Your mortal guise and mine are related by blood. Also…"
Lokidis shows her bulging belly.
"I am with child."
"Think, Great Brunhilde," Kwan Ying says. "THINK."
Brunhilde goes deep into the recesses of her mind…
"Well?" Lokidis asked.
"'Tis true," Brunhilde says. "We ARE sisters."
Brunhilde then feels Lokidis' belly.
"And your child…is a thing of beauty."
"Prince Ran is the father," Lokidis says. "As is he the father of the child of your mortal guise."
"I see…"
"In time, your mind and Akane's will synchronize and achieve unity of purpose, though this will take some time."
"I understand…"
"Sister, I need for you to watch over this mortal Ranma," Lokidis says, as she points to the other Ranma. "We are on a quest to find the Moon Princess, who has the face of the mortal guise of the All-Mother."
Brunhilde turns to look at the still unconscious other Ranma…
"Well?"
"Then I shall endeavor your request."
"Good," Lokidis says, as she raises her hands to snap her fingers. "Be well."
"We'll be back soon," Sifdis says.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't want to do," Kwan Ying says with a nod and a wink.
"Feh, we KNOW what she's going to do, once we leave," Hildis says with a smirk.
"Nevertheless, we must be off," Lokidis says. "Chao."
SNAP!
FLASH!
The goddesses were gone.
Brunhilde sighs, as she looks around. She sees the other Ranma.
"Mortal," Brunhilde says with derision. However, the Akane part in her began to affect her mind…
"Ranma," Brunhilde says gently. "It has been…many ages since I was with a male. Perhaps, it is time to correct that, though I will have to be creative while having my blade on my person…"
Tbc.
