Part 36
Meanwhile…
Usagi soared in the air, as Ranma and Bra looks on…high above New Krypton.
"WEEEEEEEEEE!" Usagi said, as she looped about a bit.
Bra turns towards Ranma.
"She is certainly likes to fly," Bra said, as she performs a sweat drop maneuver.
Ranma turns towards his wife…one of them, at least.
"Usagi always liked to fly, ever since she trained under the Crane Hermit," Ranma said. "Heck, she learned how to fly before I did."
"Well, it appears that she no longer needs to draw upon 'chi' to generate a flight vector," Bra said, as she focused her senses upon her co-wife. "Her cells are drawing upon solar energy to fuel her abilities."
"Yep."
Silence.
"Does this mean that Usagi is more powerful than you now?" Bra said with a mischievous grin.
"Phef! It ain't power that makes the difference; it's skill."
GLOMP!
"Which I very much appreciate, Ranma," Usagi said, as she hugs Ranma from behind.
"Gah!" Ranma yelped. "Don't DO that!"
"You're silly, Ranma," Usagi cooed.
"How did you do that trick?" Bra asked.
Usagi looks up and turns towards her co-wife.
"Do what?"
"Be here, and yet over THERE?" Bra said, as she points to the other Usagi.
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-!"
"Kryptonian mental arts," Usagi said. "I'm making you guys THINK I'm flying about."
"Oh."
"I thought you lost that ability along with everything else," Ranma said.
"Ranma, I lost my physical abilities. I still have my memories and experience. I just have to regain my experience rating."
"Ah."
Bra frowns.
"You can let go of Ranma, now," Bra said.
"Why should I?" Usagi said. "We're married."
"Well…so am I!" Bra said, as she grabbed Ranma.
GLOMP!
"Ladies, calm down," Ranma said. "There is no need to fight over me."
"But you like the attention, don't you?" Usagi asked.
"Well, sure. I AM a guy, you know."
"Well, you can be a guy by yourself!" Bra said, as she moved off. "Humph!"
"Bra-!"
"I wouldn't worry about Bra," Usagi said, as she lets go of Ranma. "She is still trying to get used to have to deal with all the women in your life."
"Yeah, I guess so…"
"Say, why not take Bra on a picnic at the Rainbow Falls," Usagi said. "She'd enjoy spending time with you."
Ranma turns towards Usagi.
"You're okay with that?"
"Why wouldn't I? After all this time, you think I'd object the fact that you have a harem?"
Ranma folds his arms.
"You're not saying that just so that you can have, shall we say…'opportunities'?"
"Whatever do you mean?" Usagi said, as she breaks out in a sweat.
"Whatever," Ranma said. "But, I do need to spend time with Bra, though…"
"Not to mention Faora."
Ranma frowns.
"How do you know about that?" Ranma asked.
"Faora stopped by Zor-El and Allura's place to rubbed that fact in my face, while you went on to refuel the Ranusagi…that's why."
"Huh. Well, I'm sure I can spend brunch with Bra, before I spend dinner with Faora."
"Well, when you do have dinner with Faora, be sure to use protection," Usagi said. "And when I say 'protection', I mean a 'megarod' or a 'railgun'."
"Ha, ha, very funny…"
Meanwhile…
"I don't think we can handle her!" Kyle Rayner said, as he continues to erect his force field, while Sinestro Ranko continues to pound through the barrier. Since initiating the break out from the Oa sciencells, the Green Lantern Corp were hard pressed in mounting an adequate defense…
"I KNOW we can't!" Guy Gardner said, as he blasted several Sinestro Corp members, who tried to use a pincer maneuver to get around Kyle's barrier. "The Guardians were idiots for throwing Saotome out of the corp-"
"Breaking Point Revised: Light Barrier BREAK!" Sinestro Ranko said, as she broke apart Kyle's barrier.
THOOM!
SHATTER!
"Augh!" Kyle cried out, as he felt the energy feedback reverberate through his mind and body.
"Kyle!" Guy said, allowing Sinestro Ranko to press her attack.
THOK!
Sinestro Ranko kicked Gardener in the throat, causing him tremendous pain, as he clutched his neck.
"Awww, did that hurt?" Sinestro Ranko said with a smirk.
"Naw," Gardener managed to say, as he began to turn slightly red, as his eyes glowed yellow. At the same time, tribal markings began to form over his enhanced musculature…
Sinestro Ranko grins.
"Wow, Guy. I didn't know you still had your alien heritage."
"Parallax didn't remove everything," Guy Gardener said. "Just enough to render my Warrior heritage dormant…"
Back when the Green Lantern Corp was gone, and when the Guardians were off in some alternate dimension, Guy sought to become a superhero again by any means possible. First, he had stolen one of Sinestro's yellow power rings, long before Sinestro himself had the idea of creating his own corp. Later, after Green Lantern became the megalomaniac known as "Parallax", an entity who represents the yellow energy spectrum that fueled Sinestro's rings, while enabling a key weakness in the Green Lantern's green power ring, Guy learned that his ancestry was not entirely human. In fact, his ancestral hailed from an extinct alien, warrior race that could morph their bodies into all kinds of weapons, from bladed to energy. This capability was besides the fact that these aliens were super-strong, super-fast and super-tough. The trauma of nearly dying had awoken Guy's heritage, and thus he simply became…The Warrior. As such, he had all kinds of adventures, one of which allowed him to become a demon. Unfortunately, Parallax, in trying to find a new host, and just before the Green Lantern Corp had been restored, had removed much of Guy's alien heritage, thus rendering it dormant…until NOW.
"Now, we'll see who is the bad-arse of the Corp," Guy said, as he morphed his hands into energy weapons.
"You're move, pal," Sinestro Ranko said, as she flexed her fingers.
CHOOM-CHOOM!!
CHOOM!
Sinestro Ranko, being faster, unleashed a concentrated beam of yellow energy, hitting Guy scare in the chest.
"Arrgh!" Guy said, as he falls backwards.
"I win," Sinestro Ranko said.
Guy looks up at Sinestro Ranko.
"Did ya?" Guy grinned.
Sinestro Ranko frowns, before her sense of danger range out-
"JUPITER THUNDER SMASH!" Sailor Jupiter said, as used her ring to create a giant hammer made from green energy, while it was enveloped by energy fueled by the power of Jupiter.
THOOM-BOOM!
Although Oa was a huge planet, in comparison to Earth, Sailor Jupiter delivered a blow that could be felt everywhere…
When Sailor Jupiter does away her construct, she runs over towards a clearly smashed Sinestro Ranko.
"Ranma," Sailkor Jupiter said, as she cradles her sempai. Throughout the jailbreak, she has been holding the line, while the Guardians had gone off to the Vega Star System to deal with Agent Orange and her corp…
"Ranma, hold on-"
Sinestro Ranko opens her eyes, as she gently touches Sailor Jupiter's face.
"It's okay," Sinestro Ranko said, as blood trickled from her lips. "You freed me from Sinestro's control…"
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying…good-bye. Or, see you later…"
And with that, Sinestro Ranko fades away, leaving only her costume behind. Her ring, however, roars to life.
"Sinestro 2814 is deceased," the yellow power ring said. "Will seek another…"
"Oh, no you DON'T!" Guy said, as he tried to aim his handguns at the ring.
KTCH!
Sinestro Lyysa Drak catches Sinestro Ranko's ring, as she continued to hold the Book of the Sinestro Corp in hand.
"You," Sinestro Lyssa Drak said, as she points towards Sailor Jupiter.
"Me?" Sailor Jupiter said.
"You will pay for killing my lover, tramp."
And, with that, Sinestro Lyssa, a blue skinned woman from the shadow lands, disappears into the thin air.
"Oh, dear," Sailor Jupiter said.
"Don't worry about HER," Guy said, as he returns to his normal appearance. "We still have other Sinestro jerks to worry about."
"Ohhhhh…"
Guy and Sailor Jupiter turns to see a recovering Kyle.
"Easy," Guy said, as he and Sailor Jupiter helps Kyle up to his feet.
"Where is-?"
"Gone," Sailor Jupiter said. "But not forgotten…"
