A Broken Casket
Chapter 4


Ranma-chan walked around her current surroundings, but
couldn't figure out why she was there in the first place. Everywhere
around her, all she saw was pools of water and more springs labelled
in a language she doesn't recognize.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone running into a
small hut. Breaking into a full sprint, she reached the hut just as
the person was about to slam the door close, and kicked the door off
its hinges with a horizontal stomp. Lunging deeper into the room, she
grabbed the man by his collar and lifted him up into the air.

"Where am I?" she demanded.

"You...you at Jusenkyo, Honored Customer..." the man
stuttered.

"Where is Jusenkyo?" she continued.

"It in China," he responded. "You in China, Honored Guest."

"China?!" she practically screamed. "How do I get back to
Japan?"

"I do not know, Honored Guest! Forgive me!"

With an angry and frustrated growl, she threw him hard at the
wall and stomped out before seeing him land. As she exited the room,
a sound that sounded like both a loud crunch and a loud splash was
heard, soon followed by the weeping of a young girl.

Now knowing her location but not how to get back, Ranma-chan
decided to simply close her eyes and walk in a random direction to
hopefully be able to pull a Hibiki and arrive back in Japan.

When she opened her eyes again minutes later, she was
delighted to see that it was Japanese all around her. People spoke
Japanese, and the signs were written in Japanese. She let a small
smile creep up to her face, but then remembered that she still didn't
know where exactly she was.

Walking into a nearby store, she grabbed the clerk by his
collar, lifting him up and off the counter. "Where on earth am I
now?"

"B-big Gay Al's B-Big Gay Sex Store," the clerk stuttered.

"I wasn't asking that!" she growled angrily, and delivered a
backhand at the clerk. Loud screams emitted from the street as a head
rolled across the ground from inside the store. She looked at the
headless corpse in her hand that's still spooling out blood all over
the store. Shrugging, she tossed the body to a side and walked out.

As soon as her foot stepped out the door, everyone screamed
and either scrambled off the streets or brought down the metal fences
to close their doors.

Shrugging, she started to walk in a random direction, hoping
to be able to go back to Nerima, when a rose streaked through the air
and landed in front of her.


"Hold, foul demon! Stop hurting innocent people!" a male
voice rang out from behind her. She kneeled down and picked up the
rose, quivering with rage.

"I said I'm not interested, Kuno!" she cried out as she turned
around, throwing the rose back at its source at extreme speed.

It was only after the rose left her hand that she realize the
man wasn't Kuno. He was carrying a cane and was clad in a tuxedo,
complete with high hat. She shrugged. As far as she was conerned,
she did the world a favor by getting rid of a fashion freaked.

She was dissapointed though. The man tried to sidestep the
rose, but only partly succeeding. The rose entered from his left
shoulderblade and out the back. Clutching his wound, he jumped down
from the rooftop he was standing on. He glared at Ranma-chan,
as if trying to to burned holes into her with his eyes. As she
contined to stare down at him, she saw his eyes lit up and wondered
why. The answer was given to her when she heard a a girl's voice,
saying "Behold foul demon! I am the Champion of Love and Justice, the
sailor-suited warrior! Sailor Moon!"

She rolled her eyes and turned around. The second she started
turning her head, she could sense the man running away from the
scene. Five girls gathered in front of her, all with different hair
color, different uniform color, but they all shared the exact same
style of extremely short skirts that didn't leave much to the
imagnination. She snickered, thinking that this tactic of making
their opponents horny wouldn't work since she was a girl.

The four girls made their respective speeches after Sailor
Moon finished, and all Ranma-chan could do was stay standing and not
laugh out loud. An equation was going through her mind: Skimpy
skirts + ridiculous speeches + overly long speeches + ridiculous
poses = crappy team.

Sailor Mars was the one who began the attack. She put her
hands together and yelled "Burning Mandala", launching an attack
towards Ranma-chan. She smirked as the ring of fire approached her.

"Hiryu Shoten Ha revised!" she called, releasing a horizontal
tornado towards Sailor Mars, bringing Sailor Mars' attack back at
herself. Sailor Mars could not duck the counterattack on time, and
was caught in the tornado. When the whirlwind hit her, it turned into
a vertical twister, but still going strong. Ranma-chan smiled as she
watched Sailor Mars being burned by her own flames in the tornado,
her body flinging around, screaming and flailing uncontrollably.

With a cry of "Venus Love Me Chain!", a blonde Senshi sent
her chain at Ranma-chan, hoping to catch her off-guard. Ranma-chan
tilted her head to let the chain overshoot her, then took a hold of
the chain and jerked it away from Sailor Venus' grasp. She tried to
hold on to the chain, but it was no use and the chain slid from her
hand, creating a thick trench on her hand.

Ranma-chan threw the chain into the tornado, and it broke
into tiny little pieces that were absorbed upon contact with the
tornado. The pieces flew all over the tornado, and Sailor Mars'
screams went up a notch. In the span of a second, she received
numerous inch-thick cuts on her body. The pieces continued cutting
her up at a furious rate, turning the tornado into one of blood.
Sailor Mercury reached a hand inside the now-red tornado, trying to
save her comrade. With a scream, she pulled her arm back out. Where
the hand should be, there was now a bloody, badly amputated lump.
Seeing the horrifying result of that rescue attempt, the rest of the
Senshi could do nothing but stare as the broken pieces continued to
ravage Sailor Mars' body, afraid to rescue her from the killer wind
and too shocked to move.

They watched as the shattered pieces of Sailor Venus' chain
continued to make deep cuts on Sailor Mars, and they watched as the
broken pieces entered her body one by one. The tornado stopped
without warning, and the blood that was in it droped to the ground,
painting the pavement red. Sailor Mars' battered body fell down from
100 feet in the air, and exploded upon contact with the ground,
splattering each of the Senshi with their comrade's blood and innards.

Sailor Jupiter, having the shortest fuse of the Senshi, could
no longer stand this evil demon and attacked. With a cry of
"Supreme Thunder Dragon!", she let loose a dragon made of thunder
towards Ranma-chan. One look into Ranma-chan's eyes, the dragon
yelped and turned back where it came from, Sailor Jupiter herself.
She wasn't prepared to receive it, however, and screamed as ten
million gigawatts of electricity made its course through her body in
less than a second. When she fell down on the ground, the electricity
travelled along the bloodied pavement, givng each of the Senshi a
healthy dose of electricity. Ranma-chan jumped up in the last second
to avoid being shocked, then twisted in mid-air and landed on Sailor
Jupiter's stomach. She coughed, and made a gurgling noise as her
stomach imploded from Ranma-chan's weight, sending her stomach acid
all over her insides. She screamed as the stomach acid eroded away
layer after layer of bones, muscles, blood vessels and skin until the
Senshi could clearly see what was inside her, and they started to puke
when the acid started to erode away the very last layer of skin.

When Sailor Venus finished throwing up and turned around, she
paled as she saw Sailor Jupiter was standing lifelessly in front of
her. What she didn't notice was that Ranma-chan was holding the body
up at the other end. She hit the back of Sailor Jupiter's corpse with
a palm strike, causing more acid to fly out from her mouth. As the
acid found Venus' face, she screamed and began to scratch and wipe at
her face, mingling blood with acid and only suceeding in transferring
part of the acid onto her hands.

To the Senshi, it was like watching a real-life horror
movie, with one of your best friends' face slowly melting away. It
wasn't long before they had to turn around and puke again. Through
the pain and panic of having acid on her face and hands, Sailor Venus
was dimly aware of Ranma-chan producing a sword out of nowhere, then
after a brief moment of intense pain, she was clearly aware that she
was suddenly staring up at her own headless body from the ground. As
she looked on in shock, her consciousness began to fade away even
then, but she saw that Ranma-chan was not through with her yet.
Punched cleanly through her body, Ranma-chan reached into her body and
took her heart out. Just before her world was consumed by darkness,
she saw Ranma-chan squeeze the still-pulsing heart, crushing it
between her fingers.

Sailor Mercury held up her remaining hand, and shakily called
out "Shine Aqua Illusion".

Ranma-chan smirked when she heard the word illusion. Two can
play at that game, she thought. Running towards Sailor Mercury in a
blur, she extended a fist aimed at Mercury's forehead and yelled
"Phoenix Genma-ken!"

Sailor Mercury suddenly found herself surrounded by the
Senshi, each one healthy as before. Overjoyed, she immediately went
to hug Sailor Venus. "You're alive!" she cried. Her leg wouldn't
move, however. She tried harder, but still no effect. She continued
to try and move, and finally succeeding in ripping her leg clean from
her pelvis. Suddenly left with only one leg, she toppled out of
balance and began to fall fowards, except her other foot wouldn't
leave the ground either. After mere seconds, the tendons on her leg
couldn't take the tension and ripped themselves free from her leg.
She screamed, and looked up from the ground, giving a choked "Help!",
but all she found were looks of hatred and scorn.

"Smarty pants," Sailor Mars said, and drove her high heels
down, punching a hole into Sailor Mercury's wrist.

"Know-it-all," Sailor Venus spat out, and took out her
chain. She lashed her chain at Sailor Mercury, severing her body at
her midsection.

"Miss Perfect," Sailor Jupiter said, unleashing a ball of
electricity at Sailor Mercury, directed at her head. She tried to
scream, but no sound came out.

Sailor Moon looked down at her. "Goodbye, genius," she said
solemnly. She then took off her tiara, activated it and sent it
spiralling down at her throat, and Mercury felt no more.



Sailor Moon watched in puzzlement as Sailor Mercury stopped
screaming and crumpled onto the ground in a heap, although completely
unharmed.

Ranma-chan started to advance towards Sailor Moon, but a rose
came from behind her and blocked her path. A man's voice came. "The
beauteous Sailor Moon cannot be defeated by demons like you. I,
Tuxedo Kamen, will protect her from all harm." A cape-wearing figure
flew through the air above her. Recognizing that it was the man that
ran away before, she unleashed a spin kick at his midsection, causing
him to fly back 20 feet.

"Tuxedo Kamen!" Sailor Moon cried, and began to rush towards
him. Her magically-enhanced senses were suddenly overwhelmed by a
warning of danger, and she turned around just in time to see a yellow
ball of light hit her legs, completely disintegrating it without so
much as a drop of blood.

"Noooo!!!!! Sailor Moon!" Tuxedo Kamen ran besides her and
held her in his arms. Sailor Moon's eyes suddenly widened, and she
yelled "Watch out!"

Tuxedo Kamen turned his head around and saw, in slow motion,
Ranma-chan descending from the sky and slowly approaching him. She
drove an elbow down at the top of his head, and he felt his entire
spinal column compressed and dislocated by the force of the blow,
causing him to unceremoniously dropped on Sailor Moon in a heap.

"Tuxedo Kamen! Are you alright?" Sailor Moon asked
frantically. She smiled a little as she felt his lips on her, but
then her her head began to hurt.

Ranma-chan picked up Tuxedo Kamen's immobile body slightly,
and positioned him over Sailor Moon so that their lips touched and
heard Sailor Moon moan in pleasure when Tuxedo Kamen's lips touched
her own. Ranma-chan started to press down on Tuxedo Kamen's head, and
Sailor Moon's moans of pleasure slowly turned into moans of pain. The
muffled moans got louder as Ranma-chan pressed down on Tuxedo Kamen's
head harder and harder, and with a final pop, neither of their heads
were noticeable.

Getting up, Ranma-chan wiped her bloody hands on her shirt and
continued on her way.



A few days later, she noticed that there was a huge lineup of
people in front of a store. Glancing up, she noticed that the store
was called the "Ucchan's Okinomiyaki", and she smiled and went in. A
woman was standing in front of the grill, wearing a style similar to
the old uniform Ranma-chan saw back in Nerima.

"Hiya, Ucchan," she smiled as she walked up to the grill.

Ukyo's brows creased in puzzlement, then the spatula fell from
her fingers as she made the connection. "Ran... Ranchan?"

"Yeah, it's me."

Ukyo flew over the grill, and tackled Ranma-chan in a glomp,
kissing her deeply.
"I KNEW you were alive!"

Ranma-chan blushed, and pointed to the mass of people in and
around her restaurant. Blushing, Ukyo chased her customers out and
put up a "Closed" sign.

"So Ranchan, what happened to you?" Ukyo asked when everyone
was out.

Ranma-chan took her hand and said, "I'll tell you later."
Walking over to the windows, she closed the blinds on the store, then
turned off the grill, cooling it with pails of water. Laying Ukyo on
the grill, she went behind the grill and tenderly kissed her on the
lips. When she broke off the kiss, Ukyo smiled softly at her.

"Ranchan..."

"Hush," Ranma-chan said, putting a finger on her lips to
silence her, and picked a sharp spatula from Ukyo's collection of
utensils.

"Ranchan?" Ukyo asked nervously. "What are you going to do
with that?"

"This," Ranma-chan smiled, and drew the spatula across Ukyo's
arm.

Ukyo screamed, and did a handspring back onto her feet, then
did a leg sweep while still on the grill. Caught unexpected,
Ranma-chan's head snapped back from the blow and she almost flew back
to a wall. Before Ranma-chan could recover her balance, Ukyo jumped
off the grill and aimed a flying kick at Ranma-chan's head. She wound
her arm back, and punched her kicking foot, sending her tumbling back
onto the grill amidst a series of loud cracking noises. While Ukyo
was still in mid-air, Ranma-chan ran forward and delivered an uppercut
to her back, and she screamed as her spin snapped in half, plopping
her onto the grill with a thud. Grinning broadly, Ranma-chan took out
the spatula and drew it across her legs.



Screams were heard for hours throughout the night, but no one
paid it any mind because of what the people saw in the restaurant
in the afternoon. Every one just pointed at the store and whisper
amongst themselves.


When Ucchan's opened the next morning, Ranma-chan was wearing
Ukyo's uniform. "Try our new okonomiyaki!" she smiled brilliantly.
"It has a new ingredient!"

"What's the new ingredient?" One of the customers asked.

Ranma-chan smiled mysteriously.
