Chapter 6
The larger predator with green ties in its hair used its claws and naginata to clear away more slime and sticky filth as he moved on. His hunt brother and the young blood Ooma hunters were behind him. They were waiting for him to do his job as hunt leader and clear the path. They seemed to be almost Yautja in the way they held their weapons in a ready position waiting for signs of prey.
He grunted with effort and finished clearing away the filth wondering how these two had come to be here on this planet. He had not really believes the tales that the ancient one told regarding a tribe of Ooma hunters on this planet. Even after the call had come to the ship and he had been dispatched with his hunt brother he had scoffed at the possibility. Ooma were a prey species not hunters and yet, here they were two young Ooma's with ancient Yautja symbols on their weapons marking them as members of a hunting group. Plus the two young bloods had actually managed to kill some of the most lethal prey the Yautja knew of. Despite himself he was impressed and thought momentarily of adopting the two teenagers into the clan if they survived.
The group walked on wary for more aliens and then confronted a small group, each one carrying an unconscious person, on their way back to the nest. The predators and the martial artists easily defeated three of the four creatures and then the predators held Ukyou and Konatsu back from killing the final one. The hunters allowed the alien to take one human and scurry away. Ukyou looked coldly at the smaller predator with red ties in it hair holding her back and said, "What the hell are you doing!"
The creature looked at her and said something in its alien language then it made the follow motion and said the same thing again. Ukyou was still angry, but she said, "I get it; you want to follow it back to the Demon Queen." Then she made the same motion and said, "Follow." The predator seemed to understand and repeated in an alien voice, "Follow." Then it added, "Follow Kiandhe Amedha."
Ukyou nodded realizing that the next set of words must be its name for the demons and said, "Right, Follow Kiandhe Amedha. Fine, but I still don't like using that person like that you understand?"
The larger predator loped off at that point and the smaller one followed after it without making a single motion of understanding to Ukyou. The Chef sighed and followed after them saying, "I think I'm beginning to hate aliens and demons. What about you sugar?" Konatsu nodded and stayed at her side.
The group walked for what seemed like hours coming across small alien groups, killing them and then moving on. Finally, they came to a large open chamber. Inside they could see the large white eggs and moans echoed throughout the chamber. The alien that they had been following deposited its burden into a sticky substance right next to one of the eggs. The sides of the egg slowly opened and something started to come out.
Ukyou jumped and cut down the alien that had done the depositing while Konatsu tried to intercept the creature coming from the egg, but when he landed in a defensive posture around the poor man the small thing exiting the egg had already been cut in half by a spinning disk thrown by one of their predator companions.
Then they herd a very loud hiss and a roar. They looked towards the sound and saw the enormous Alien Queen in the center of the room. She was surrounded by at least twelve very large aliens. Plus, there were many more of the smaller creatures swarming into the room. Then it was all out pandemonium as the two martial artists and the predators fought for their very survival. This was not longer a single battle or a hunt it had become a war.

Ranma was almost lost in the dark sewer tunnels and he was getting angrier by the minute as he came to blank walls and dead ends. He yelled and said, "When the hell did I become Ryouga Hibiki! Damn it there had got to be someway to find that stupid Demon Queen and kick her stupid ass!"
While Ranma was cursing his luck Shampoo perked her ears she was sure she had heard something. Then she heard it again she mewed lightly and jumped out of Ranma's pack. The boy jumped back in fright and said, "Ahh! Don't do that!" Shampoo just looked at him and motioned with one of her paws to where the sound was coming from.
"You hear something?"
Shampoo nodded and pointed again. "Well I don't hear it, but I'll follow you from a distance okay?" The cat nodded and walked off in the direction she heard the sound coming from. The two continued to walk through the sewers when they saw three aliens walking along with human hostages. Ranma ran gave chase, but the creatures each ran in a separate direction. "Damn it! I need to catch them."
He looked towards Shampoo and said, "Can you hear any of them still?"
The Cat nodded and pointed in a direction. Ranma put his pack down and said, "Get in I'm going to follow, but this time they won't see or hear me."
The cat got into the pack and Ranma slung it over his shoulder. Then the young Saotome boy used the Umi Sen Ken to disappear and he walked in the direction that Shampoo had indicated one of the aliens had gone.
Following after the creature Ranma saw that it had slowed down after fleeing with its burden and was walking again. Ranma approached the creature, but it didn't seem to sense him. Then he examined it and the burden that it held. Ranma almost dropped the Umi Sen Ken when he saw who it was.
It was Kasumi and she was alive! He racked his brain trying to think of some way to save the girl without getting acid on her as the creature carried her away and nothing was coming to mind. So, he followed right behind it as it crept along. Finally, the creature walked into an open area filled with hundreds of large white eggs. Ranma stared in awe as he realized that he was in a nest and there in the center of the room was the large Demon Queen and twelve large demons surrounding her.
He snapped out of it when the alien he had been following dropped Kasumi in a sticky substance right next to one of the large eggs. His chance had come and before the egg could even begin to open Ranma used the art of the silent thief to steal Kasumi. He backed out of the room, dropped the Umi Sen Ken and said, "Are you okay?"
Kasumi looked at Ranma then she hugged him tightly as she silently cried with sadness and joy. Then she said in a shaken voice, "I think so Ranma, but Nabiki and your mother were taken too."
Ranma glanced at the soft hearted and motherly figure in front of him and then glanced into the nest. He knew he could save Kasumi and possibly get back to this place now that he knew where it was, but there was no way he would be able to save all three women by himself. He needed help and all he had was a purple cat in his pack. He needed an Amazon warrior, not a cat!
"Well, well Son in law I see you are fine and have rescued Kasumi Tendo as well."
The red haired martial artist turned in surprise and then she almost shrieked as a form latched itself onto her breasts and said, "Hotcha! I love warrior women!"
Ranma pried Happosai off and then almost hugged him again. She turned to Cologne and almost hugged the ancient Amazon as well in her excitement. "Cologne, Happosai I can't believe how happy I actually am to see both of you. Can you two please help bring Kasumi and the others to safety?"
The ancient Amazon stared back at Ranma and said, "Well now it truly must be an emergency if you are polite Son-in-law. Very well I will bring as many people as I can to safety and so will the letch that I brought with me won't you?"
Happosai nodded and said, "You bet. Can't have demons eating all the pretty ladies in town can we?"
Ranma said, "Great wait here while I go get people." Then she quickly disappeared from view leaving her bag behind. Cologne watched, and then she pulled out a kettle and a small bar of soap and used Chinese to say, "Do you need these?"
A purple cat flounced out of the pack and walked towards her great grandmother. Cologne poured the hot water over the girl and rubbed her with the soap saying, "You're foolishness almost got you killed child. Now, stay here and help the old letcher with the people that your husband saves."
The Ancient Amazon then picked up Kasumi Tendo and rushed away with her. Meanwhile Happosai stood next to Shampoo. The letch didn't stay still for long though as he poked, fondled, and admired Shampoo as she donned the armor in the pack and took a sword that her grandmother had left.
As Happosai continued to annoy the girl while they were waiting, Nabiki's unconscious form suddenly appeared in front of them. Shampoo pulled the letcher off her chest again and said, "Go, stupid pervert save Tendo girl and leave Shampoo alone!"
Happosai grabbed Nabiki and carried the young Tendo girl off. Shampoo saw his form retreating down the sewers and then she heard a very loud hiss and a roar inside the main chamber. When she looked down the sewers again all she could see was a horde of demons coming down the sewer and right towards her.
She readied her sword and then they were in front of her. The Chinese blade spun in a deadly arc and Shampoo killed the aliens as they came. She sliced through limbs and severed arms in an intricate dance of death. Yet, the creatures still came.
Shampoo would kill one and then it seemed as if three more had taken its place. She would kill those three and even more would be there trying to kill her. Her sword spun around slicing, hacking, and piercing alien flesh as she moved. Shampoo continued to fight an almost never ending battle hoping for some respite, but it would not come. She fought on and on piling up bodies in front of her until the corridor itself was choked with dead demon bodies and yet still more of the demons came.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cologne carried Kasumi through the empty tunnels making good time until a horde of aliens came through. The ancient Amazon used esoteric Amazon arts and plain old fashioned sword play to kill the creatures and move forward with her burden. Kasumi tried her hardest not to scream and flinch as she was flung about by the old woman. She closed her eyes and looked into herself for inner tranquility and then she went limp. Cologne sighed in relief as her burden became easier to bear and the hordes of creatures thinned out. She searched around and found an exit bringing the limp girl out of the sewer and towards the questionable safety of the Neko Hanten.
Once inside the restaurant the ancient Amazon was puffing with all of the strain and effort. The young Tendo girl looked at her wheezing and frail form with some concern. "You aren't going to go back and get more people are you?"
Cologne looked back at her and said, "Child, I am old, older by far than I would prefer. In my youth I would have gladly gone back and fought on against the demonic hordes, but I do not believe that I can go back into the sewers and expect to return here with another burden. Doing so would only doom me and that burden."
Then the ancient Amazon then sighed again and looked into Kasumi's peaceful brown eyes. "Besides, I have saved someone very precious to my son-in-law and when he returns he will be in my debt."
"Oh my!" Said Kasumi then she looked at Cologne with trepidation and said, "When he returns?"
"Can you possibly doubt that my son-in-law will triumph?"
Kasumi thought about it and all the trials that Ranma had faced and yet still there was a bit of doubt in her mind that even Ranma could triumph against the creatures that had killed her father and Genma Saotome. She glanced at the barricaded door of the Neko Hanten and held her hands together in prayer saying, "Dear Mother please, look over him. Kindest spirits of my ancestors and of those who have recently departed please hear my plea and bring my loved ones home alive." The Tendo girl held her hands together and cried silent tears as she chanted the prayer over and over again.
After three repetitions an Ancient Amazon matriarch joined in the prayer as well…

Happosai was carrying Nabiki out of the tunnels and through a horde of aliens. He threw bombs at the creatures and jumped from one to another as he made his escape. The creatures were unable to even touch the ancient letcher as he made his way to an exit. He carried Nabiki up through a sewer grate and then put her down. Nabiki began to stir and then she screamed.
Happosai came close and patted her head saying, "There, there now. Little one it will be okay."
Nabiki shivered and cried out again. She remembered being put next to the egg and she remembered it opening and then it happened. The disgusting thing had latched onto her face and she didn't want to remember the rest. She put her hands on her chest and felt around. Something was moving inside her she knew it. She felt it moving and struggling to get out it was eating her insides. Panicked she ripped open her shirt and stared at herself in horror.
Happosai was somewhat confused by Nabiki's actions and then the girl ripped open her shirt. The old letch was unable to prevent himself from latching onto the girl's chest.
The inability to control his lust killed the old man as the baby Alien came out of Nabiki's chest and into his own. Realizing that he was about to die he used his last strength to light a handful of fuses and whisper, "Happo Fire Burst Barrage." The explosion left only a smoking crater.
