THE PURPLE AND YELLOW DEBATE
--Dreamed up by
Kate and Cat
Who
Written by
Rachelley (Akio and Saionji), Janey (Touga), Katie (Utena), Ty (Juri), Cat
Who (Nanami), Saren
(Miki), and Kevin (Tsuwabuki)
Edited by Cat Who
Out of the blue, and out of character as well, Kate grabs Cat. "That does it. I wanna see Anshi and Nanami work out their differences...you game?"
"Wooo." Jane sits down with Touga and some popcorn. "Gotta watch this."
"Bwuhhahaha. yeah!" Cat cackled.
An announcer came out of nowhere. "This is it folks, the match up up the century (so far, anyway.) Himemiya Anshii vs Kiryuu Nanami! Who has the sexiest, most manipulative older brother? Who is the cattiest and bitchiest? Who REALLY is the most beautiful of the two?"
Nanami appeared in a corner, and flipped her hair. "Why me, of course."
"Stay tuned folks, this is gonna be brutal."
"So, Katie, do we want this to be serious or silly?"Cat asked.
"It's a "DEBATE" as in, the "Red and Green" debate or the "Pink and Orange" debate... Silly, you silly." Katie said.
"Yeah, well, the Red and Green debate was more like a duel," Cat replied, grinning.
"So was the Orange and Pink debate, ne?" Ty chimed in.
"That's the point...but I think the duel should be less...physical."
"Less physical how? Croquet? A chess tournement? Pong?" Cat asked.
While the roleplayers worried about that....
"I don't mind dueling, Kate-sama," Anshii said. "But you would have to get permission from either Touga-sempai or Akio-sempai first. Utena-sama doesn't mind."
Utena is Bound and gagged in a corner.
"MPHGEMOLREHGEOLTkjalsdhf;lkjnert;lkamntoiuagonNWLKNWEHNTONAW!!!!!!!!!!" (-Translation- Like hell I don't mind! What are ya tryin' to do, get my Rose Bride KILLED?!)
Anshii smiles benignly. "She would love to see me duel for once." Utena glares.
*In Character*
Anshi smiled gently as Utena-sama battled Nanami for the fourth time in as many days. Utena was extremely upset because Nanami refused to quit spreading around the rumor that she was a lesbian. Thus, they were at a stand-off of sorts. Anshi personally knew Utena-sama wasn't a lesbian. If she had been, Juri would have bagged her long ago, no matter what Ty-chan thought or did about it. As it was, only Kate-sama (Who, along with the other members of the Ohtori Role Player Guild) knew nothing about this little match. If they had, not only would Cat Who have been rather upset, but Janey would have insisted on bringing Touga. His presence would most certainly have made it an unfair duel.
Suddenly the inexplicable happened...
Nanami sliced off a lock of Utena's hair. No one except Mikage, Akio, and Juri had ever managed to do that. As the pale pink tendril drifted toward the ground, Nanami dropped back into a waiting position, gasping for air. Her violet eyes narrowed. Dueling with the tomboy had not been her original plan, but onii-sama had been getting way to close to her again. A few whispers here and there should have effectively turned all the males in the school off Tenjou-san -- but then again, this WAS Tenjou-san. As much as Nanami hated to admit it, Utena had something on even her.
People liked Utena. Even though she was a nobody. Even though she dressed like a boy and broke all the rules. And for that, Nanami hated her.
Nanami smirked. "Tenjou-san, be glad that wasn't more than a lock! Now will you stay away from my onii-sama for good, or.." she rushed at Utena again, "am I going to have to cut off ALL your hair???"
Utena grimaced as a lock of her hair fell to the earth. Damn that Nanami! Now she'd have to spend time in a froofru hair salon getting that fixed or they'd take her show away from her! Revenge must be had! Utena stood up, slowly, and for the first time in the entire series, Anshi felt fear. Her Utena-sama was dead serious this time, there was about to be bloodshed. It was just then that the swing of fate took a decidely odd turn...
The elephants of doom didn't mean to trample the little girl in pink. It's just the long haul up the arena's staircase had worn them out and a bunch of worn out elephants is no small matter. Plus the air in the arena was so thin... Only Miki yelled as the first one began its rush towards the startled Nanami...and fell on one extremely pissed off Tenjou Utena. The other Student Council Members...well, they just stared.
"Oh hell," Anshi cursed.
Nanami blinked a few times. The elephants had passed out completely, and Tsuwabuki had already begun roping and tying them, so that when they gained consciousness they'd leave Nanami-sama alone.
"Now what am I supposed to do?" Nanami wailed, her sword drooping. Then she spied Anshii, that weird girl! In a fit of adrenerline, she rushed toward the Bara no hayonami and jabbed her sword at the purple haired one's chest.
"If your lesbian friend can't fight any more, you have to take her place!" Nanami could imagine it already -- she defeats the rijichou's sister, Touga realizes that both Himemiya and Tenjou-*kun* are out of his reach, and she keeps both those insects away from him. It was perfect!
Anshi blinked in surprise, and a small frown marred her perfectly calm face. This was not to be done. As the Rose Bride, only her brother was allowed to harm the Victor without Anshi herself having to get involved.
"Why, Nanami-san," Anshi gasped as Nanami rushed by. "I do believe you seem upset." In a very unladylike motion, Anshi hiked up her Rose Bride Gown and rushed over to the nearby Council. Her eyes quickly scanned the members until they found a worthy canidate. A moment later, Tsuwabuki was in her arms, his soul sword in her hands. The poor boy was wearing a dress; she felt bad about that, but at least his soul was strong. The mettle of his sword had been tested. Anshi herself was suddenly garbed in a purple dueling uniform with red trim reminiscent of Utena's. "Would you care to continue this without the Ends of the World's knowledge, Nanami-san?" Anshi gasped...
Nanami looked in horror at her dress-clad fallen minion. Now she couldn't lose. She didn't know what would happen to Tsuwabuki if she lost, but some small, human part of her soul couldn't bear the thought of being without him.
"Urusanai!" She shouted, leapt over an elephant, and rushed at Anshii, both her sword and dagger poised. Anshii met her with a clash of steal on steal, and the two younger sisters were quickly locked in deadly combat.
"I hate you, Himemiya! Why are you so popular? What did you ever do to deserve the attentions of people like my onii-sama and Saionji?" Nanami kicked at Anshii brutally, but Anshii was a lot stronger than she looked, and her kick only suceeded in imbalacing both of them. They both spun around, and faced each other, two cats defending a turf that neither of them really could claim. On that note, Nanami sprouted yellow ears and a tail, and Anshii grew similar ears and a tail in purple.
Anshi felt the familiar shifting of her body that came with unusual magic. Nanami was chaotic enough to attract all kinds of trouble and apparently she'd gotten them into a doozy this time.
Pausing in their battle a moment, Himemiya raised her hand to her head and felt her ears twitch...oh this wasn't good at all. What she wouldn't give to have a mirror. "First a cow, now a cat?" she hissed at Nanami. Her face registered surprise at the sound of her voice. She'd never dreamed that it would change as well, even knowing how Nanami's had changed during the cow incident.
She purred, liking the sound of it, and settled down to the marble floor, licking her hand and rubbing it across her face. This would take a minute to get used to and come up with a game plan. Unbeknownst to Anshi, her tail swished in jubulation behind her. Across the arena, Nanami was doing the same. Their battle...had just turned into a cat fight.
Stretching slightly, Anshi flexed her hand, not surprised to see claws extend, razor-like, from her flesh. This was going to be...purrrfect. "Oh Nanami," she growled, batting gently at a tiny feather in the air as she rose to her feet. "Why were you calling Utena-sama a lesbian again?" Her tone was [pardon the pun] catty. "Was it perhaps that you...wanted to play?"
Nanami's own tail swished. She hated animals, cats included. They were always causing her trouble. She hated being a cat, but even more, she hated the purple cat that was stretched out a few yards away. She wanted to hurt that other cat. In a yellow-shaded, cat-induced rage, she sat up and tensed, poised to spring.
"I never play," Nanami growled, her voice softer and darker. "I fight...to win!" Neko-Nanami leapt toward Anshii, her yellow tail flying behind her. She screamed in rage and tried to grab the bara no haranayo's hair, but her hands had gone all soft and she couldn't get a grip on it. She had to settle for knocking off her glasses with her claws while Anshii ripped at her braid.
Since Anshii could not use the soul sword in her present form, it had dissolved back into Tsuwabuki's body. Nanami's kitty-senses detected this, and she hissed one more time at Anshii before leaping off her for a good minute of composure grooming. Round one was over.
Growling a little in frustration at the lack of sword, Anshi tensed, waiting for the next spring. It was her duty to protect her Victor at times like these, especially since it hadn't been an official duel, but this was just getting silly.
Nanami was grooming across the arena near Tsuwabuki's body...that girl had such nerve! First having her demon elephants run over poor Utena-sama, then...ooooohhhhh! Anshi rarely got upset enough to lose her objectivity in anything, but this was the last straw. Her entire body grew a bit and her tail lashed fiercely as she dropped to all fours and began the change. Calling on all of her witches powers, Anshi concentrated on overcoming Nanami's chaotic forces and using them for her own good. Before the Council's unbelieving eyes Anshi became a purple... tiger.
And a pissed one at that.
She growled low in her throat, waiting to catch the Yellow Cat's attention. She waited. And waited.
Neko-Nanami blinked in surprise at the purple tiger.
"Oh, so you want to play rough?" she said, pausing in her grooming. Nanami hated all animals. This was a given. Still wearing furry ears and a tail, she climbed on top of an elephant and reached in a pack that it was wearing on its back.
She withdrew an elephant gun.
"I don't care of you're an endangered species, Himemiya," she yelled, and targeted the purple tiger in her crosshairs. "It's freak season, and I have an unlimited hunting liscense." She released the safety on the gun...
The Anshi-tiger growled low in her throat. Okay, maybe an endangered species wasn't a good idea after all. What to do, what to do... Purring slightly, Anshi dived behind Miki and began working on transforming again. Surely even Nanami wouldn't be able to harm the cute young secratary...
A moment later, Anshi stepped out from behind Miki. Except it wasn't Anshi. t was red. Well...red and white. It had a charming grin and a suave smile. It was Touga.
And Anshi opened her arms.
"Nanami!"
Nanami paused and lowered her gun. She *knew* that was Anshii -- the purple ears and tail emerging from Touga's head gave that dead away -- but even so, she could not, in good conscious, attack anything resembling her own brother.
"Onii-sama," she murmered, trapped. She dropped the gun. No, she could not shoot Anshii while she looked like that. She had to think of another plan. But what?
Her eyes narrowed. She'd seen the little insect Wakaba perform a secret, potentially deadly technique on Utena often enough. Nanami paced around the Anshii/Touga, whose yes followed her around, the Touga smirk firmly in place. Anshii had Touga's smug look own pat.
When she was nearly behind Anshii, she rushed her. Anshii was expecting an attack, and prepared for that, but instead, Nanami leaped right behind her and...glomped Anshii.
"I have you now, Himemiya!"
Anshi gurks as arms wrap themselves tightly about her neck. "Na-nanmi-" she gurgles as the arms clamp tighter and tighter around her neck. Oh, this was bad indeed.
If she remained in this form, Nanami would squeeze her to death. If she returned to tiger form, she'd get shot. If she went back to normal form, she'd probably still get shot. Anshi decided to take the offensive. "Nanami!" she shouted, still in Touga form. She twisted in the girl's arms, wrapping her own tightly around the slender blonde's waist. "I am glad, Nanami," she smiled seductively, "that you have finally admitted your feelings about me to the world. Please," Anshi gently cradled Nanami's face in her own and brought the girl's lips an inch from her own, "allow me to be your prince."
Nanami froze. A muscle in her cheek twitched. How DARE she! How DARE she insinuate that! But...
"You've admitted it to the world, Anshii?" Nanami finally said, icily, her lips still inches away from the other girl's. "You've admitted it, that you're a lesbian? And that you want to be my prince?" She smiled gleefully. This was too perfect. "Well, then...I'VE WON!" she shouted in Anshii's face. And she slapped her, hard enough to cause her face to turn slightly. Before Anshii could slap her back, she danced away, and picked up the first remotely weaponlike thing she saw.
It was a garden hose. Why there was a garden hose lying in the middle of the Dueling Arena will have to remain a Mystery of Plot Convenience, but there it was, the fancy nozzle on it closed shut, dripping water onto the slick floor. It hummed with potential.
Nanami turned it on full force, spraying the bara no harenayo with hose water.
Oh that was it.
Anshi was the Rose Bride. It was well known that people could use her as much as they liked and she could do nothing about it. However, that did _NOT_ mean she was a lesbian. At best, bisexual, but not a lesbian. Anshi was seething as the water hit her. She knew her actions were not like her, but...grrrr...
Anshi quickly transformed into a small, wet Mamiya, and yelled. "MIKAGE!" Waving her hand, Anshi dived out of the way as another herd of elephants ushed from nowhere and into the spray of water.
This in itself would not be a bad or unusual thing.
In fact, it had been a part of Anshi's plan.
The other part however, included a not-unusual crossover, one that the RolePlayers, especially Juri's Ty-chan, would not like at all.
The water came from a very unusual source.
In fact, you could say the water was cursed.
As the elephants thundered through the spray, each one of them reflected water onto Nanami-san. The change took a minute both for the cat-girl and the pacaderms. But oh, what a change it was.
Nanami looked down at her chest, slowly. Her eyes widened, her breath grew faster...
Each of the elephants shook their heads as they slowly rose to their feet. They felt weird, they felt wild, they... wanted shiny red cars.
An arena full of Ohtori Akio's glanced around as one Ohtori Akio clad in a yellow duelist uniform with yellow ears and a tail began to yowl in anger. Safely incognito behind Mikage, Anshi was laughing silently.
Akio-Nanami, still with comic little yellow cat ears and a cat tail, yowled in anger. But the war was not over yet.
Ducking behind one of the still-tied-up elephants, she looked around wildly
for something, anything, to use against the Rose Bride. The body she was
currently inhabiting was much too tall, and she had trouble balancing. She only
had a few
seconds.
Wait," she said to herself. "If Anshii's allowed a crossover, then so am I..." She only had a few seconds. Think...think...what would help her most at the moment...
She reached into the bag on the back of the elephant, and pulled out a small fan. Aiming it at a puddle of the cursed spring water, she shouted "RIIIKKKOOO SHINNEEEN!" and watched in satisfaction as it quickly boiled. Before it steamed away completely, she rolled in it, turning her back into herself for the moment. But Akio's body had ripped her skintight uniform to shreds, so that the elephant Akios studied her with an outright lecherous look. They slowly advanced on her, unbeknowngest to the yellow rose.
She aimed the fan at Anshii.
"Okay, Himemiya. Here's the deal. No more crossovers, or I toast you to a crisp. Got it?"
Anshi nodded, pursing her lips. "Accepted. But we can use elements from the two crossovers. Deal?"
"Deal. But only the one that we each brought it. I won't use Ranma, you won't Fushigi Yuugi. And no characters, ONLY elements."
Anshi narrows her eyes. "Deal," she agreed. "But the gods are characters." [Editor's note: The gods were part of a lengthy, heated, and completely OOC discussion, which is why Anshii brought them up.]
Seeing all the Akios, Tsuwabuki did the only thing he could think of doing. Opening a panel in the dueling arena floor, he pulled a large case out of it, and withdrew the two miniguns from inside it. Grabbing them both in an obvious Matrix-crossover he prepared to shoot the first one that went near his dear Nanami. "Touch her and it's over, Akio-sama."
He edged carefully around the dueling area, keeping an eye on the Akios as best as he could, gesturing with the miniguns for them to keep back. "Miss Nanami! wait! your uniform! Here, I've got a spare in my backpack - We don't want to encourage these... monstrosities after all" he gestured again to the Aikos that were leering at her.
Unfortunatly, or perhaps fortunatnly, for Rachelle's role playing characters, the over-worked, under-paid and stressed out role player immediatly collapsed onto the ground in a fit of giggles, leaving the four to their own devices. Saionji just scowled and kicked lightly at the girl, then rolled his eyes.
"She's going to be like this for HOURS. Oh well." And the emerald-haired duellist settled back in a conviently placed chair and decided to watch the chaos from the sidelines. After all, he had already had his moment in the limelight.
But someone else hadn't. The resounding cry of "UTEEEEEEEEEENNNAAAAAAA!" broke across the duelling plateform as Wakaba rushed towards her fallen friend, hoping to get the pink-haired Victor back into the world of the conscious.
And where was Akio and Dios? Well, that was yet to be seen.....
And meanwhile...
"I can't believe th..." Miki was about to say to Juri, when he turned and realized that she and Ty had disappeared. He furrowed his brow as he searched for them among the other duelists...not even a sign of them...
And also meanwhile....
Juri and Ty had found themselves on the elevator that leads to the arena....and they appeared to be...stuck.
Ty winked at the readers of the forum and pointed to the "emergency stop only" button. However, Juri quickly pulled her attention back to....erm...other matters.
And still more meanwhile...
Janey stood up as popcorn fell away from her lap and looked at Touga who was sitting down watching the duel. confused, She looked back at ...or..rather..-Touga- and tilted her head in quite a confusion.
"If Touga is there...", she muttered pointing at the transformed Touga, "and Touga is here...."...a wickedly large grin spread across Touga's roleplayer..."TWO TOUGAS FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
She grabbed the sitting Touga by his collar to make him stand and decided to devise a plan to snatch the other one as well.
And now back to the duel.
Nanami scowled at Anshii. "Fine. No gods. But any other *element* -- be it the power that a character has, the weapons that they use," she ruffled the diamond fan, "or the transformations -- we can use it. And only one at a time." With that, she threw the fan over her shoulder, where it disappeared on cue, then crossed her arms in front of her. On her wrists appeared two gold and white bracelets, which flashed and became skintight armour up to her elbow. She smiled wickedly, her little yellow cat tail twitching, and leapt upon the Rosebride.
Her new superstrength knocked them both across the arena.
Anshi felt the world spin as she and Nanami sailed across the arena to land in a crumpled heap on the far side. Nanami had chosen strength...should she battle it with the strength of one of the Ranma characters, or the cunning?
Quickly rifling through her Role Player's knowledge of the characters, Anshi smiled. Nanami had chosen a distinctly interesting cast, true enough, but Anshi's cast had much more variety. For example- should she want to counter with strength, Ryouga's talents would be a good match, though not quite perfect. With cunning- Happousai, for all his perverted ways, was highly skilled. With magic- Cologne had an arsenal of tricks and twists that would make any of the duelists cringe. Not to mention all of the enemies and their powers. She could pick two or three characters, or their weapons, to counter anything the blond girl threw at her. No, the variety of choice wasn't going to be a problem...but the only way she would win this would be through patience and wisdom.
Grunting with the effort, Anshi focused on a particular character and began the change. Her entire body pulsed for one brief second and she grew in size so quickly that she knocked the now-tiny cat girl off her. Pantyhose would have been proud the way his cursed form leapt up and charged at the girl. Anshi knew she was.
There was only one problem. In the lunge, one of the octipus tenticles reached out without Anshi's permision and snagged several of the duelists. WEll, to be honest, all of the duelists, save Utena. Thus Anshi charged with Juri, Touga, Tsuwabuki, Miki, Saionji, and Akio strapped to her back. It was promising to be an interesting fight indeed.
"Juri-san!" Ty called. She was pissed that she and Juri had been so rudely interrupted. "Juri-san! Get down from there!"
Juri frowned and struggled a moment. "I can't" she said, rather calmly, considering the situation.
Ty-chan proceeded to pout, because her Juri-sama had been taken from her. She growled at Kate-chan. "This is your fault. Grr...."
Tom raised his eyebrow..."Cat fight?" [Editor's note: In case you missed the first two Debates, Tom is Ty-chan's fiancé.]
Tsuwabuki started beating on the tentaculed beast holding him "hey! who said you could use me to hurt Miss Nanami!?! Isn't that againt the rules of the duel!?? Let me go Miss Anshi!!!"
Anshi growled back up at them, as the cursed form had not the proper vocal cords to state: I am not doing this. The form is doing this.
Janey looks around totally confused. "eh......." a sweatdrop forms over her brow as she looks around at everything. "da hell's going on?"
Ty-chan takes her eyes away from her captive Juri-sama for a moment to address Janey's question. "Umm...in this thread....I think anything you want is going on."
A confused look crosses her face, before she decides that her answer was appropriate. She then continues to shout at the octopus to let her Juri-sama down!
Rachelle just looks bewildered. "Uhhhh....." Sighs and sits on the floor. "Right...just....yeah. I'm just trying to survive untill Thanksgiving, thank you very much."
A huffing and puffing Katie appears at the top of the stairs. "I...heard...that...Anshi...was...dueling..." she groans before collapsing face first onto the hard marble of the dueling arena floor. Crawling on hands and knees, she collapsed beside Utena and watched as one of Anshi's tenticles threw Miki at Nanami and scooped up Kevin. Oh this was bad. Role players were getting involved. The tenticle tossed Kevin the same way and grabbed Janey. Kate groaned and stumbled to her feet, trying to help Ty get Juri down.
Rather than go flying off, Kevin grabbed hold of the tentacle and held on for dear life. "Oh no you didn't!!!! I ain't going nowhere!!!" Instead of flying off, He rode the tentacle like a bucking bronco "YEEE HAW!"
Tsuwabuki however, was not having a good time. The Tentacles kept spinning him around and attempting to smash Nanami with him, leaving him battered, bruised, and a little nauseous. Also, every time he was smashed into Nanami, he screamed out an appology. "I'm sorry Miss Nanami! I'm sorry Miss Nanami!"
Nanami took on the powers of Tamahome and made a flying leap, avoiding a screaming Miki. She powered up, her blonde hair turning flame red, and her eyes glowing as well. She then blasted a huge ki ball at Anshii.
Cat Who followed close behind Katie, huffing and puffing as well (that's a
LOT of
stairs, and the elevator was still stuck thanks to a horny Juri and
Ty).
"Nanami!" Cat yelled angrily. "Get yourself under control!" Nanami paused from blasting Anshii with ki balls to throw a dagger at Cat. It missed by a fraction of an inch and instead struck one of the Akio-clones, causing him to die instantly.
Cat winced as the Akio-clone then spontaneously combusted. She tiptoed over to Katie.
"We've got to do something," she whispered.
Janey blinked for a moment..quite shocked...as she stared down at Touga, who simply blinked and stared back at her.
Then Janey realized what happened and started to kick and scream at her character. "YOU POOPIE BRAIN! (my goodness! why is he so fine???!?!?!!!) GET ME DOWN FROM HEREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!"
Touga shrugged and looked around and saw Rachelley and snuck over to her.
"TOUGAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! WHERE DO YOU THINK YER GOING MISTER?" Janey screamed.
Katie was still in the process of coughing out her lungs when Cat approached
her. "No kidding. But with Utena down, I don't think there's all that much we
can do right now." She glanced over at the raving Janey and turned white.
"This
is..."
Anshi at that moment decided the monsterous form was a bit extreme. Her tentacles launched all the characters at Nanami at once and she quickly dropped down to a just-as-powerful-but-not-nearly-destructive form. Ranma.
"...bad," Katie completed watching her most docile character. Grabbing a cell phone she phoned her character chest, placidly sitting in a corner at the far edge of the room. When her intended character picked up, she sighed relief.
"Ummm, Nabiki? Could you come to the arena and hurry?" [Editor's note: Katie and I are both characters in the Ranma 1/2 fanfic forum -- she runs Nabiki, obviously...]
"Good idea. Tell her to bring Akane with her." [And I run Akane.] Catherine glanced over at Nanami, who was getting her ass kicked by Anshii/Ranma already.
"C'mon, Nanami,you can do it," she cheered to her character.
Nanami/Tamahome was good, but not nearly as good as Ranma. After suffering numerous extremely painful punches, Nanami changed forms again. She ballooned into a...giant...werewolf...thing.
Nanami/Ashitare then lunged at Anshii/Ranma, grabbing her arm and wrenching it. But Anshii/Ranma was a lot faster than Nanami/Ashitare, and escaped having her arm pulled from it's socket.
Rachelle waved at Touga, finally calming down somewhat. It was amazing what a bit of rest could do for one, ne?
"Hey Touga-san! How are you enjoying being back in Janey's closet? Heh.....it's probably alot more private than mine."
Touga just laughed. "Well, I never minded the crowd so much. Of course, I suppose I SHOULD go save my role player."
Rachelle sweatdroped. "Yeah, that would be a good idea." The role player watched the red-haired bishounen saunter back towards Janey and took stock of the situation. Things were delightfully complicated as it was....there really wasn't anything more she could do to confuse things more than they already were.....
Well.....except for one thing.
Amid the chaos, a blazing beam of light shone down from the castle and suddenly Dios was standing on the arean floor. He cast a glance at the battling duellists and arched an eyebrow. This certainly was.....interesting.
And then Akio appeared. The real Akio. All reproductions paled in comparison to the original, who was, for some reason, wearing nothing but a pair of boxer shorts. Perhaps he had been caught in the middle of something? But he too surveyed the damage and grinned at his clones.
"Well, it's nice to know I had some part in this."
And on the other side of the arena, Saionji was heading for the stairs. He wasn't about to stick around here any longer than necessary.
Ty-chan took her eyes away from her precious Juri-san, and stood, wide-eyed looking at Akio. "Akio-san... in...nothing... but..." Juri frowned. "Stop drooling, you idiot! It's not THAT great."
Ty--for obvious reasons--ignored her.
Cat Who melted into a puddle of goo at the sight of Akio in nothing but boxers.
"It's not fair," she whimpered. "No one who is that evil has a right to look that good..."
Nanami/Ashitare ignored the appearance of the real Akio and continued to try to tear off Anshii's limbs.
Anshi ignored Nanami then called to her brother: "Oni-sama, a little help here?!" It is as yet uncertain to which brother she called.
Fortuantly (or unfortunatly, depending on your point of view), both of the men responded and looked over at her. Akio walked over to the fight, causing men and women alike to swoon as he passed and Dios, not being subject to the normal laws of motion and whatnot, just appeared next to her. Dios said nothing, as he was a quiet person, but Akio smiled that drop-dead-gorgeous smile at the two girls and crossed his arms across his wonderfuly bare, well-formed chest.
"You needed help Anshii? Why ever for? You seem to be handling this fairly well on your own."
Anshii grimaced. "So says you! Doesn't Dios usually give Utena a helping hand around this point, or have I been hallucinating the entire series?!"
Akio shakes a finger at his sister and does that knee-melting smile he's so good at. "We can discuss your mental state later, Anshii. But Dios DOES help Utena....and he WOULD help her if she were, say, conscious at the moment. Notice that Dios has never had to help you."
Nanami gave up trying to tear off Anshii's limbs and instead took on the powers of Chichiri, and suddenly appeared to be Dios. "I'll help you," Nanami/Chichiri/Dios smirked.
Anshi narrowed her eyes. Low blow indeed. Turning her back on her brother, she closed her eyes and concentrated. Moments later, she'd transformed into... Cologne.
Using the power of Chichiri again, Nanami transformed into Taiistukun. Two ribbons fluttered around her ugly face, and she mumbled in a low, gravelly voice. "Now we'll see who is the most powerful of all, Himemiya Amshii."
Anshi frowned...okay. Maybe this had been a somewhat bad idea. She should have chosen a better anime...but then she came up with an idea...
Nabiki Tendo popped into existence with her cell-phone in hand. One quick call to a certain Ranma Fanfic forum later, and she had a devilish grin on her face...
While Anshii waited for Nabiki to get some help from the Ranma Fanfic forum, Nanami/Chichiri/Taiitsukun realized that...well, Taiitsukun really doesn't have very much power. She just pops up, acts uppity, and sics Nyun-Nyun on people.
"Dammit." She changed into Nakago instead, and sent a HUGE ki blast that knocked Anshii halfway across the dueling arena.
Anshi groaned as she hit. Fine. Gonna be a big fighter? "Rouge, I choose you!"
Kate poked Cat. "You know...I think she hit her head on that last one. If she calls on pokemon, I'm outa here."
Cat groaned as well. "They've either got to kill each other, or at least knock each other out pretty soon."
In the meantime, Tsuwabuki was leading Nanami's trio in cheers to inspire her. "Gimmie an N! Gimme an A! Gimmie an N! gimmie an A! gimmie an M! gimmi an I! what's That Spell? Nanami!! NANAMI!!!"
That was, of course, the moment someone fell out of the sky. Being asleep, they didn't notice appearing 20 feet up.
"ZZ... zzz.."
*THUD*
"Oro? Ite.."
[Editor's note: The person who just fell out of the sky was the Avatar of Death. o_O]
Nanami continued to pummel Anshii with ki blasts. Anshii was seriously getting hurt.
"Why don't you fight back, you freak??" Nanami shouted angrily to Anshii.
The roleplayers didn't notice the person who fell out of the sky until that person muttered, "Oro? Ite.."
Cat Who winced, and walked over to the fallen one, ducking a stray ki blast from her character. "Hey, onii-san, are you okay?" she said.
Rachelle blinks repeatedly. "Hey yo, who's that?"
Saionji just shrugged. "Do we really CARE!?" And found a bokken firmly embedded in his face a few seconds later by his rather annoyed role player.
"Shut up. Or I'll lock you in a room with Akio." Saionji shuts up immediatly.
The new arrival put on a pair of sunglasses. 'Ranma fic calls?"
Grabbing Rachelley by the arm, Katie manuevered her way to the newcomer. "Nabiki called a pinch hitter? That's unlike her."
Utena groaned from somewhere behind them and the Rouge-creature morphed down to merely Herb. Soon Anshii/Herb had Nanami/Chichiri/Nakago hopping around the forum avoiding the balls of ki shot at his feet.
Nakago/Nanami/Chichiri ducked inside Chichiri's little wormhole hat to avoid the ki blasts and appeared to have...disappeared for a moment.
"Nani?" Cat Who said, looking around in surprise as her character disappeared. "Where did Nanami go?"
In reality, Nanami had gone to the kitchen and found a bottle of Million Times Strength Ultimate Curry Powder (she'd grown fond of it while she was in India, searching for the Billion Times Strength Ultimate Curry Powder) and found some of Anshii's old leftover cooking. She mixed the powder into the leftovers in a tupperware contained, covered it tightly, and microwaved it for about five minutes.
She took this toxic, dangerous mixture and shook it gently. Mysterious steam seeped out from under the lid, and it began to eat through the plastic.
She then Chichiri-warped back to the arena, landing right behind Anshi/Herb, and when Anshii/Herb least expected it, Nanami/Chichiri/Nakago dumped the entire cauldron of toxic sludge on Anshii's head, then ran like hell, leaping behind a fallen Akio/Elephant. Everyone ducked, waiting for something horrible to happen...
Rachelley gasped " NO! the HUMANITY!" She hid behind Kate in case the curry exploded or something*
Tsuwabuki looked on in shock as Nanami stooped so low... "Miss Nanami! How could you! You know we are supposed to follow the Geneva Conventions here! No use of Toxic substances allowed!"
And as the curry leaked out of the bowl, landind on Anshii's head, a blinding flash washed through the arena. Everyone covered their eyes, trying not to be blinded by the light emanating from the Rosebride.
When the light finally faded, all was restored somewhat to normal. Nanami and Anshii were themselves again, and all the Akio/Elephants were gone. Even the roleplayers were back to a somewhat normal state.
"What the hell...?" Rachelley rubbed her eyes.
"Onii-san, what the hell happened? I know you had something to do with this." Cat Who tried to stand up.
The Avatar of Death grinned. "A trick used in Ranma fics. When things get out of control....reset."
There was a massive facefault by every role player in the Arena.
Editor: Okay, okay, the ending sucked. After Nanami dumped the sludge, the thread was killfiled...a reset was the most plausible way to end. Anyway, stay turned for the next great debate, appropriately named, "The Next Great Debate!"
