Chapter 4

Ukyou was arguing with Konatsu or at least she would be if the young Kunouichi would actually argue with her, but as it was the boy had just taken the blades and armor and said, "I will happily accept this service and the agreement." He didn't balk at all and was willingly following her into a damn sight of danger. That was the problem; she had arguments and such lined up to get him to accept and he had blithely done so without any of them. Now she found herself arguing at him to not come with her, it was aggravating, tiresome, and basically pointless. Now that the young boy knew of the danger she was in he would never leave her side. Finally she gave up arguing and walked off towards the high school where Shampoo would be waiting to join the impromptu demon hunting group.

Akane and Ranma basically argued half way to the school and then began to ignore each other with hostility, but finally they reached Furinkan high school and the boys' showers. It was only sheer luck that Ryouga and Ranma hadn't fought on their way to the school. Then Ukyou spied Shampoo standing in a rainbow hued outfit much like Ranma's new one and wielding an impressive ceramic Chinese sword. The chef groaned as she expected the traditional glomp and fight to occur, but strangely enough Shampoo did not glomp Ranma. She just stood still and then said, "Alright you listen here. Stupid Duck boy already much hurt by these demons and Grandma say is very dangerous mission we put feelings, jealousy, and anger aside and concentrate on demon battle. Is okay?"

The group nodded and followed the young Chinese girl into the sewers. Once down in the darkness Shampoo lit a chemical light and looked a bit abashed as she handed out more chemical and electric light patches and said, "Almost forgot we need these."

The rest of the group nodded and continued forward into the dark tunnels. The damp and dreary sewers took on a life of their own as every movement seemed to echo into nothingness and every water drop or sound made someone twitch, but still there was nothing. Nerves frayed and the tension started to get to everyone when they all heard distant screaming which was suddenly silenced.

The group started to run towards the sounds and then it happened. The black aliens were all around them attacking with teeth, claws, and tails. They battled with the creatures using their new found weapons and were successful in killing a few, but the hordes of creatures seemed almost endless.

Ranma was slashing with his new claws at amagurikan speeds, slicing into one creature and then the next with abandon. In this battle he felt more alive than he had ever before, all of his attack options were open and he could attack with abandon without worrying about the deadly arsenal of attacks that were in his repertoire. He dodged an attack by one creature and jumped onto its head crushing it to the ground. Then he spring from its dead form to attack another nearby. He briefly glanced back at Akane and was happy that his efforts were keeping the worst off the black haired girl, then he saw the girl go down under one of the creatures and he rushed to her aid.

Ryouga had also been happily cleaving into aliens with great sweeps of his new sword. He was enjoying the fact that these creatures seemed to have no idea of what the word dodge meant and practically impaled themselves for him. He then glanced back at Akane and was glad that his efforts were keeping her safe. "Oh Akane" he thought, "Please see that my love is keeping you safe." Then, he noticed that one of the creatures had knocked Akane down and he rushed to her aid.

Ranma reached Akane first and killed the alien on top of her and then he saw Ryouga's huge blade coming right for him. He was able to dodge the great blade, but not its wielder. Ryouga slammed into him and sent him flying into a wall. He was momentarily stunned and then three of the creatures grabbed him, together they were powerful enough to hold him and started to carry him away.

Shampoo, Ukyou and Konatsu were doing rather well against the creatures together they had actually worked into a group rhythm. Each one would kill one or two creatures and then come back in to formation and help defend as the next person killed another creature or two. That rhythm fell apart as Akane went down and then Ryouga plowed into Ranma. The creatures were then able to bring more force to bear against them as Ranma was carried away and the lost boy stood over Akane's prone form. Ukyou and Shampoo both screamed and headed off recklessly to save Ranma. Konatsu just followed them and guarded their flanks as they ran.

Ryouga watched them head off to save Ranma and realized that he was left alone guarding Akane's prone form against a horde of demons. He slashed left and right against them, but it seemed hopeless. The creatures came on and he held one hand out with a glowing green ball of chi as he said, "Shi Shi Hokoudan!"

The blast cleared the corridor stunning and killing many of the creatures and then Ryouga grabbed Akane's unconscious form and started to run. He ran and ran trying hopelessly to find an exit, but his direction sense failed him once again. He was out of breath and staring at a blank wall and a number of pipes as more of the creatures came towards him and the girl he loved. He started to fire blast after blast at the approaching creatures, but they kept on coming towards him and then they attacked. He pulled out the sword and swung it in a great arc cleaving into two of the creatures and then right into and through one of the nearby pipes. The pipe creaked and then sent a blast of freezing cold water right at the directionally challenged boy.

Akane woke up as she was washed down by the cold water. She felt something warm under her and picked it up. A small black pig looked her in the eye and squealed in fright. She looked behind her to see a dark chitinous alien attacking. She barely moved out of the way in time. She stood up, grabbed her sword and faced off against the creature. Then it attacked again and she parried slicing off one of its hands. The creature screamed in pain, but continued its assault, she parried its blows and felt a few impact into her ceramic armor and then smiled as she cut a piece out of its tail. She would win this fight she just knew it. Slowly, but surely she did win the fight. She picked up her pet pig and said, "C'mon P-chan lets go find Ranma and show him how great we are." She walked off into the sewer filled with joy at her victory never seeing the black tail that skewered her.

P-Chan felt Akane's body go limp and saw the spiked tail that had gone through her. He knew then that his love had died, but was unable to do much about it as the alien creature grabbed him in its claws, picked him up and then brought him towards its mouth. The mouth opened and a second set of teeth came springing out. That was the last thing he ever saw...

Ranma struggled on wondering why the creatures had taken him prisoner, when suddenly a stream of cold water came thundering down the sewers. The water splashed onto him and changed him into a girl. In his smaller form he was able to slip free, but his alien claws were lost in the struggle. As she jumped away from her previous captors she tried to think of a technique that would be useful, but with the acidic blood nothing was coming to mind and the creatures were stalking back towards her. Finally as the creatures backed her towards a wall she made a decision, held her hands up and said, "To hell with sealing the fucking techniques. Kinjin Rashu Dan!" The vacuum blade whizzed down the hallway and sliced one of the aliens in half. Its dead form lay on the ground and two more alien bodies soon followed it. Then Ranma smiled in victory and slowly started back towards her friends, then realizing what had happened to her she picked up the pace fearing what might have become of them with the burst of cold water.

Ukyou, Konatsu and Shampoo had run into problems in their pursuit of Ranma's captors. The first of which was their speed and the second of which was the number of aliens in the sewers fighting them. Finally they had killed off or scared off one group of the creatures, but it was a momentary respite. They walked on and came to a triple junction. The purple haired Amazon girl looked pissed off and then she screamed in frustration, "Which way husband go!"

Ukyou looked at the pipes and said, "I don't know."

Then more of the creatures started coming towards them from each of the three directions. They readied themselves in their new fighting formation and then suddenly a stream of cold water came rushing down the pipes turning shampoo into a fluffy and pissed off purple cat and carrying her away. A quiet voice said, "Now what mistress?"

Ukyou looked at the cat in frustration and said, "Find her and as soon as you find a dry spot see if you can find a thermos in her pack on ours." Then the chef glanced at the approaching aliens and said, "We'll have to deal with them first of course."

The aliens attacked and the two martial artists were not doing nearly as well without Shampoo's help. In fact the creatures were able to swarm onto them and were grappling them in an effort to take them away when suddenly green bursts of energy killed all of the creatures in the room. Ukyou and Konatsu stood up and looked around seeing nothing of their rescuers until suddenly two large creatures appeared from beneath their camofloage cloaks and were in the room with them.

The creatures were humanoid, and a bit more than two meters tall, they were both wearing some type of face mask and had greenish and brown skin. They had some type of course bristly hair twisted into dreadlocks. On their shoulders were some advanced guns that were still smoking form the previous onslaught and in their hands were twin Naginata made out of the same mysterious metal that Ranma's claws had been made from. The only difference that the young martial artists could see was that one creature was a bit bigger and had green ties in its hair and the other was smaler with red ties.

The two creatures examined Ukyou and Konatsu they seemed like they would attack until the gree tied one motioned to the other. Then he approached and gestured towards Ukyou's blade.

Ukyo tried to figure out what the creature wanted as it gestured again and said something in an alien language. The creature seemed a bit frustrated and then showed her its Naginata blade with symbols down its length. It also extended long claws from its wrist sheath and Ukyou was awash with understanding. She handed the creature her ceramic blade which was also painstakingly inscribed with similar symbols. The creature took the blade and examined it, then it said a few words to the other in its alien language and handed Ukyou her blade back.

Konatsu had been watching the scene with trepidation and was full of tension as he prepared to attack the large creatures if they were hostile. When the larger of the two with green twists in its hair handed his mistress her weapon back the tension went out of him and he sighed. The two creatures glanced at each other and laughed at that point. When the creatures finished laughing they gestured a universal follow me and started to lope off down the tunnels.

Konatsu and Ukyou stopped for a moment to search for Shampoo, but she was nowhere to be found. The two teenagers then decided that the safest course would be to follow after the alien warriors and quickly ran after them.
