Ranma Club: Nihao My Winx!

Chapter 3: Infiltrating the Harem

An empty lifeboat floated near the base of the island. It consisted of a large mass of tree roots about fifty feet high. Ranma-chan, Ryoga, Mousse, Genma, Soun, Kuno, and Cologne scaled up the roots to get on the island. Ranma-chan was the first to get to the top of the edge, where she saw a giant tree at the center of the island. The tree was several stories high like a skyscraper with numerous open windows along its trunk. At the front was a huge set of doors with two spear guards standing by.

Ranma-chan quickly hides behind a palm tree. Ryoga and Mousse get up and hide themselves behind the same tree as they survey the area.

"Looks like that's the main entrance right over there." Said Ryoga.

"That little punk's gonna pay for what he's done…" said Ranma-chan.

"So how shall we do this?" asked Mousse.

"You have to ask? We'll just fight our way through the front gate." Replied Ranma-chan.

"Hold it!" said Cologne suddenly.

Ranma-chan looked at the diminutive Amazon Elder. "Huh What's wrong with that plan?"

"I'm surprised at you, Ranma." Said Cologne. "Have you forgotten that Shampoo and the others are being held hostage inside? We shouldn't do anything that could endanger them further."

"Oh… right…"

"At times like this, stealth is the ideal approach."

"I see. With age, at last comes wisdom." Said Genma as Soun nods in agreement.

Suddenly, an alarm siren blares, causing everyone to panic.

"What!? How did they find us so soon!?" said Ranma-chan.

From the front entrance, a small shape crashes out of one of the windows then knocks out the two guards standing by. It turned out to be Happosai as he gleefully runs off while holding his bag of stolen unmentionables.

"Come n' get me! AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

His laughing was cut off by Ranma-chan kicking him in the face. She grabs the pervert and holds him at eye level. "You old freak! I take my eyes off you for a second and you turn up here!?"

"Ah c'mon, son! You know how it is! I heard the place was full of lovely young maidens, so I thought I'd have myself a looksie." Happosai said in his defense.

A voice sounded from ahead, getting their attention. "INTRUDER! HE WENT THIS WAY! DON'T LOSE HIM!"

"Ranma! You go deal with them!"

With that, Happosai slips out of Ranma-chan's grip, placing one of his Happodaikarin bombs in her hands. Everyone panicked at seeing the so-called Anything Goes Ultimate Technique and quickly ran for cover. As for Ranma-chan, she panicked at the sudden appearance of a live bomb in her hands. Almost instinctually, Silver Timmy pops out in front of his host and quickly punts the bomb into the air, which then exploded shortly after. However, the explosion was more powerful than anticipated as it created enough of a shockwave to knock Ranma-chan back, slamming against a nearby tree. She drops into unconsciousness from the impact.

Up ahead, the two guards stop after having witnessed the explosion.

"What in the world was that!?"

They rushed in the direction of the explosion just as the smoke started clearing.

"Hey, there's someone collapsed over there!"

The two guards stop to see an unconscious Ranma-chan on the ground.

"It's a female!"

"If Prince Toma finds out we let one of his concubines escape, we'll be in big trouble! Get her inside!"

The two guardsmen pick up Ranma-chan and carried her into the tree palace, the large doors closing as soon as they got inside.

Later…

Ranma-chan soon woke up to find herself being escorted by the two guards, each holding her arms on either side of her. They stop after entering a hallway where she sees the three strange men who accompanied Toma when he first appeared.

"This is the last female." Said one of the guards as he presented the bikini-clad redhead.

"Well done!" said Sarutoru. At his sides were Wanton, the heavyset man with the blank expression who had a sort of doggish mannerism, and the masked cloaked man, Torristan.

"I say, have we met somewhere before?" asked Torristan as he gave Ranma-chan a once-over.

Ranma-chan cringes at the forwardness of the masked man, but quickly plays along to not arouse any suspicion. She gives a nervous but flirtatious laugh. "Ah… hehehe… oh dear… you're not trying to pick me up, are you?"

Torristan is caught off guard by this. "No, I, uh… I feel as though we've met somewhere before…" The masked man had a bit of a tough time trying to keep his composure as he was enamoured by the redhead.

Ranma-chan nods and starts walking. "Er… pardon me…"

"Hold it right there." Said Sarutoru. Ranma-chan immediately froze in her tracks, thinking she may have been busted. Her fears were unfounded though as Sarutoru then said, "You will be presented to Prince Toma shortly. Please choose a dress appropriate for the occasion." He gestures to a door.

Ranma-chan sighs in relief and annoyance, then quickly laughs. "Guess I'll go pretty myself up for him then!"

She enters the room and shuts the door behind her. When she looked up, Ranma-chan was shocked to see the room was like a dress boutique. Numerous evening dresses were on display, hanging off of racks while other garments were neatly folded in shelves.

"Whoa… I'm impressed! Look at all the clothes! Stella would be drooling at this if she were here. Where they even get all this?" wondered Ranma-chan as she looked at a dress on a nearby rack.

"I agree."

Ranma-chan was surprised by the voice and looked down to notice Cologne was right by her.

"That prince must have looted them from the surrounding villages, much like the girls in our party."

"Hey Granny, when'd you get here?" asked Ranma-chan.

Cologne smiles knowingly. "Oh, you know. But enough about that. Shall we play dress up?"

"Thanks. I'm no good at this stuff."

Sometime later…

Sarutoru, Torristan, and Wanton sit outside the room waiting for Ranma-chan to finish dressing up. Sarutoru takes a huge puff from his smoking pipe as he waits. He and his comrades look up once they hear Ranma-chan's voice.

"I'm ready!"

Ranma-chan opens the door, and the three elite followers were flabbergasted by what they saw. There stood Ranma-chan wearing a flowing turquoise dress showing off a lot of her leg. The top was strapless with a ruby broach on the front, which barely contained her breasts. On her feet were red high heel shoes. The striking thing about Ranma-chan was that her red hair was mysteriously lengthened nearly to her ankles, held up by a large white ribbon. She took a sensuous pose for the three men and gave a wink.

"Hiya, boys…"

Sarutoru, Torristan, and Wanton were entranced by Ranma-chan's appearance. Sarutoru quickly recovers and clears his throat before holding his arms out to the side.

"Ah! Ahem… this way, Miss! I shall escort you to the salon."

"Okay! This way?" said Ranma-chan. She holds up the front of her skirt to walk, albeit awkwardly. "Stupid heels… I can't walk! How do girls do this?"

"Patience, Son-in-Law!" whispered Cologne.

The three elite guards had their eyes glued to Ranma-chan as she walks off.

The salon…

Ranma-chan and Cologne entered through the large double doors before they shut behind them. She was taken by surprise at what she saw inside. The salon was a large lavish room about four stories high. Windows lined the upper parts of the room allowing light in. There were several tables with food and refreshments, plush chairs and sofas, plus a few fountains with one main one in the back. The room was also decorated with numerous plants. Not only that, there were hundreds of girls wearing evening dresses, either eating or socializing.

"Whoa, check it out! That little pipsqueak's hoggin' so many girls here! Just what is he planning to do with all of them anyway?" asked Ranma-chan as she walked towards the center of the room.

Sitting on a set of plush couches nearby, Kasumi, Ukyou, and Akane were having some tea. Kasumi wore a simple lavender strapless dress that hugged her body nicely. Ukyou wore a daring pink halter dress baring her back completely while barely covering her breasts, earrings, and a pearl necklace. Akane wore a simple short white dress with a flower barrette.

Adjacent to them were Bloom, Flora, and Tecna sitting on another plush sofa with Musa and Layla standing nearby. Bloom was wearing a blue two-piece dress baring her stomach with a spaghetti strap top, short skirt, and elbow-length gloves. Flora was wearing a hot pink flower decorated halter dress with a deep plunging neckline reaching past her navel and a long skirt that parted in the front. Tecna wore a tight purple strapless minidress with the skirt way high above her knees. Musa wore a red halter dress that bared her back with the top showing much cleavage, her waist clad in an elaborate band, detached sleeves, and the skirt slit on both sides to show off her legs. Layla wore a green dress with a sling top that wrapped behind her neck and across her breasts, baring her midriff, where it connects with her knee-length skirt with a slit up one side.

Kasumi looked up and noticed Ranma-chan walking in.

"Oh my, is that Ranma over there?" asked Kasumi.

Everyone turned to Kasumi when she said that and looked to where she was looking. Sure enough, there was Ranma-chan decked out in a lavish dress.

"Ranma?" said Bloom, not believing what she was seeing.

Akane looked up to see the redhead. "Ranma!"

Just as she was about to go up and greet her, two others beat her to the punch.

"RANMA!"

Ranma-chan looked up to see Shampoo and Stella rushing towards her where they immediately hugged her. Shampoo wore a tight yellow one shoulder dress with a long slit skirt that showed off her legs. Stella wore a very daring orange dress that seemed to consist of only a knee-length slit skirt connected with a top (if one could call it that) that seemed to be nothing more than spaghetti straps that held two square pieces of cloth over her breasts, baring her back, stomach, and much of her cleavage.

"Oh Ranma! You're here!" said Stella. "I never doubted you for a second!"

"Ranma come for Shampoo and Faerie Sisters, yes?" asked Shampoo.

"Hey hey! Easy now!" said Ranma-chan as she tried to pry the two girls off of her.

As this went on, Akane's hands trembled and slowly clenched into fists as she watched the scene.

"By the way, nice dress! But why are you dressed like that?" asked Stella.

"Well, it was the only way I could sneak in…" replied Ranma-chan in an embarrassed tone.

Her danger sense went off as she saw a bowl flying right towards her face. Instinctively, Onyx Riven emerged and caught the bowl, and in one smooth motion threw it right back at the thrower. Akane yelped in pain and surprise when the bowl smashed against her face. The action took Shampoo and Stella by surprise, then they along with Ranma-chan turned to glare at the short-tempered tomboy.

Akane held her face in pain before glaring at her former fiancé. "Ow! How dare you do that to me, you jerk!"

"Excuse me? You were the one who tried to attack her first! That was self-defense! Just where do you get off!?" countered Stella.

"Shut it, you stupid skank! That stupid pervert had it co-"

"ENOUGH, AKANE!" shouted Kasumi.

Akane turned in surprise at her older sister. "What? But Kasumi, they-"

"Did absolutely NOTHING."

Everyone turned to see Nodoka walk in. She was wearing a daring kimono-style dress that was a halter style. The top's flaps barely covered up her breasts, the lower portion was a long skirt that was slit up on both sides to show off her legs, and her arms wore matching detached kimono sleeves.

Nodoka glared at Akane, who shrunk back at her gaze. "Well, Akane, mind explaining why you tried to throw a bowl at my son?"

"But… but he was being a pervert!" said Akane.

"What exactly is perverted about being hugged? They were the ones who hugged her, and quite joyously, too." Countered Nodoka. "All you did was try to ruin the moment after she went through the trouble of sneaking in here for us. And even if she actually did do something 'perverted', why should you care? You're not engaged anymore."

"But I… I…"

Nodoka ignores her and walks over to greet Ranma-chan with a hug. "Hello, Ranma. It's good to see you here."

"Same to you, too, Mom." Said Ranma-chan as she returned the hug. After separating, Nodoka leads her, Stella, and Shampoo over to where the others were at. Ukyou and the rest of the Winx got up to warmly greet Ranma-chan, much to Akane's anger but she could do nothing about it. "So would anyone mind telling me what's going on here? What's with the huge number of girls? I figured that brat would've had you all waiting on him hand and foot."

"Well you see, we were all brought in as concubines, but it turns out that…" started Flora.

"These guys started treating us like fancy princesses here!" said Ukyou.

"Princesses?" asked Ranma-chan.

"It's true, you know." Ranma-chan and the others turned to see Nabiki lying on her side on a big plush cushion held up by several guards. She was wearing a daring backless dress with a deep cleavage and long skirt which was slit up to above her hips, showing off her legs. "The men here do whatever we ask of them. I'm having the time of my life!" She holds out her glass to a guard. "More oolong tea, please."

"Yes ma'am." Said a guard as he refilled her glass.

"Nabiki… aren't you getting a little carried away here?" Akane asked in annoyance.

Tecna leaned over to Ranma-chan. "Someone's having a little too much fun here…"

Ranma-chan didn't know what to make of the scene she was seeing. "Guess they take that harem stuff pretty seriously around here."

Suddenly, the lights in the room dimmed down as a guard started banging on a set of bongo drums. Everyone looked around the room where attention was set at a light forming at an upper balcony. Sarutoru's voice was heard as he made an announcement.

"Ladies! At last, the one you've all been waiting for! Your future bridegroom, the master of illusion, the lord of Togenkyo, Priiiiiiiiince Toma!"

The light illuminated brighter and in a flash, Toma appeared. He stood before his throne and greeted all his 'guests'.

Aside from Stella and Ranma-chan, this was the group's first meeting with their kidnapper.

"Wait, THAT'S the prince?" asked Bloom in shock.

"Oh my! He's younger than us!" said Kasumi.

"Not just younger, he's tiny." Added Ukyou. "He needs about ten years to fully ripen."

"Doesn't matter to me." Said Nabiki. "If I got him to choose me, I'd become the queen of the island! This may be my chance!" She sits back and takes a swig of her tea.

"Nabiki! Are you insane! We have to find a way to get out of here!" shouted Akane.

"Just what is he planning now?" asked Bloom as she looked up at the balcony where Toma stood.

"Not sure, Bloom." Said Ranma-chan. "Let's wait and see for now."

Sarutoru continues his announcement through a bullhorn. "And now, the martial arts marriage contest will now commence!"

"Wait… martial arts marriage contest?" repeated Layla. "What the hell?"

"One lucky female will emerge triumphant and claim her place at the side of the great Prince Toma!"

"A contest to be the bride of a stranger? What is this?" asked Musa in slight disgust.

"Normally, I wouldn't care, but if it's martial arts, I can't back down." Said Ranma-chan, her pride coming to the fore.

"I think that's kind of pushing it." Said Flora.

"The first round will now begin!" said Sarutoru as he held up a pair of chopsticks in one hand. "The bride of Toma must have both patience and grace. What better way to prove this than by moving rice from one plate to another!"

The guards in the room began handing out plates of rice and chopsticks to all the girls. Shampoo, Ukyou, and Nabiki looked down at the objects in disdain.

"What is this, a summer camp?" asked Nabiki.

"Shampoo laugh!" said Shampoo.

"Why do we gotta enter some stupid contest anyway?" asked Ukyou.

Torristan then walks up to the three girls. "Because if you don't then I'll be forced to give you something."

"And what's that?" asked Ukyou.

The masked man holds out a certain piece of paper. "An invoice. Dress rental, hair dresser fee, food and lodging, servant fee, another miscellaneous account, for a grand total of 103,000 yen!"

Shampoo and Ukyou scream at seeing the price of the bill while Nabiki had a subtle shocked look.

"You mean no is free?" asked Shampoo.

"Those who refuse to participate will be asked to settle their accounts!" said Torristan.

"We've got no choice…" said Nabiki as there's no way in hell she could pay that kind of fee.

Once everyone was set for the contest, Sarutoru calls out, "On your marks… get set… GOOOOO!" He fires a gun into the air to signify the start of the contest.

Ranma-chan looks at her plate in disdain, thinking this a waste of time, not to mention child's play for her. The sooner they end this stupid contest, the better. She twirls her chopsticks in her hand, then shouts out as she blurred her arm to pluck and place the rice grains from one plate to the other.

'Ha! My Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken technique makes this as easy as plucking roasted chestnuts from an open fire!'

In the span of two seconds, Ranma-chan had more than half of the rice moved. However…

"I'm done!"

Ranma-chan looked up in surprise to hear someone else managed to finish before her.

'Huh? Wait… that voice is…' Ranma-chan thought. She looked up to see… 'Tecna?'

Tecna stood up with her plate of rice and held it aloft. "So does this mean I get first point?" asked Tecna.

Everyone looked in awe at her, wondering how she did it so fast. For Tecna, it was a no brainer. The rules stated that they had to move the rice from one plate to the other, but never said how it should be done, so she simply used her chopsticks to sweep the rice onto the other plate. Simple, really.

"That wasn't fun for me at all." Said Toma in a bored tone.

"Yes, Lord." Said Sarutoru, then turned to announce the next round.

"Huh?" said Tecna. "So what does that mean?"

"That was boring, so your victory doesn't count." Said Toma.

"Pfft. Whatever." Tecna said uncaringly as she dropped the plate to go back to where she was at. She wasn't obligated to entertain this brat.

Toma was a bit put off by Tecna's uncaring attitude, but continues to spectate the contest.

"Our next round is the combat survival flower arrangement!" announced Sarutoru. Everyone was provided a pair of gardening hand shears before a large clothed bundle was wheeled in. "Let the contest begin!"

The cloth was removed to reveal a giant carnivorous plant about thirty feet high with a diameter of seven feet. It looked like a cross between a venus fly trap and a pitcher plant as both distinguishable parts of each was adorned at the top and sides. It pulsated with life as its vines reacted like tentacles.

"Wait a minute… are they actually serious about this!?" said Stella. She looked at her small hand shears, then back at the giant floral pillar, knowing the gardening implement was nowhere near enough to do what was asked.

The vines suddenly shot out at the young women around it, causing them all to scatter. Shampoo, Ukyou, and Akane get ensnared by the vines.

"AIYA! Is man-eating plant!" exclaimed Shampoo as she tried to fight off the vines.

"How're we supposed to arrange this thing!?" said Ukyou, also fighting off the vine's entanglements.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Akane gets pulled up and the giant plant pulls her into itself.

Nodoka looks up and curses under her breath. If only she had her katana!

"Shampoo! Ukyou!" shouted Ranma-chan as she ran up to help them.

"If we could only use our powers!" said Musa.

"That little punk's getting off on this, I know it!" said Layla angrily.

"Everyone get back!"

Everyone turned to see Flora calmly walking towards the giant plant.

"Flora?" said Bloom. "What're you…"

Flora said nothing as she walked up and held out a hand. "Please calm down… don't be afraid…"

A vine shot out at her, but stopped short of her hand, which it then started caressing.

"It's okay, I won't cut you." Said Flora as she caressed the vine. Suddenly, more vines come up and form a sort of swing for Flora to sit on. They carry her up near the top of its trunk where she pets it. "There there, you're a good plant, aren't you?"

Everyone stared in amazement at the scene. "Now, you think you could let my two friends there go, please?"

The giant plant complied and released Ukyou and Shampoo from its vines. Ranma-chan immediately went up to check on them.

"Hey, you two all right?" asked Ranma-chan.

"Yeah, thanks for asking." Replied Ukyou. "Those things were tight!"

"No pleasant, but Shampoo admit give idea for future…" said Shampoo in an impish way. Ranma-chan and Ukyou immediately blush from the implication.

Flora giggled as she petted the giant plant. "Thank you, sweetie. Now can you do something else for me?" The plant pulsated in response. "You look in need of water. Go place yourself at the fountain over there." On cue, the plant plucked its roots out of the pot and walked over to the main fountain. It then nestled itself into the spot for much needed nourishment. Afterwards, the plant gently let Flora down. "You're a nice plant!"

Everyone applauded at the scene, still not believing what they had witnessed.

"That Flora, even magicless, she's still got a way with plants." Said Stella.

"GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

Flora and the others turned up to the angry voice and saw Akane still entangled in the vines and pressed against the trunk.

"Oh, I forgot about her." Said Tecna.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU JUST STANDING THERE FOR!? HURRY UP AND RESCUE ME!" Akane shouted.

"Relax, Akane. It's not trying to harm you. In fact, it seems to like you." Said Flora. She turns her head as if listening to the plant's gestures. "Oh sure, you can give her a kiss if you want."

"WHAT!?" Akane was suddenly lifted and tossed into one of its venus flytrap leaves, swallowing her up. The short-tempered girl let off muffled screams as she vainly fought to break out. After another few moments, the plant spat her out, where she crashed into a table covered in some slimy substance.

Toma waves off to Sarutoru. "Next event."

"Yes, Lord." Said Sarutoru, then turned to make the announcement. "Prepare the next event!"

Flora looked up after hearing the announcement. "So that's it, then?"

"That didn't count either." Said Toma. "Where's the fun if a girl could win that easily?"

Flora frowned at the condescending attitude of the bratty prince, but held her peace. Like the others, she didn't feel obligated to entertain him, especially with how self-entitled he's acting. He's basically just forcing these girls to go through hell for his entertainment with being his bride as the prize. How enticing.

Sarutoru continued his announcement. "The bride of Toma must be healthy and long-lived, so we'll be having a short marathon!"

Suddenly, all the girls screamed and ran for the upper levels of the room. Ranma-chan wondered what was going on and saw that the double doors opened where a large number of mice flood in. As all the girls ran, Ranma-chan stood her ground and watched as the mice ran past her ankles.

"A marathon? Seriously? You're just dumping mice into the room!" said Ranma-chan in annoyance.

Meanwhile somewhere else…

Mousse drops down on the floor of one of the palace hallways before looking around for guards. A moment later, Ryoga, Genma, Soun, and Kuno crashland on top of him. Happosai bounces off the pile.

"Come this way! Follow me!" said Happosai as he darted off.

"We must keep in mind that he's still our master!" said Genma as he quickly stood up.

"I hate to admit it, but his lecherous skills can sometimes come in handy." Said Soun as he also stood up.

"Guess so…" said Genma.

The group of men quietly followed Happosai down the hall and hid around a corner. They see a set of double doors ahead of them.

"No doubt about it, this is the place!" said Happosai.

"So Akane and the other girls are beyond those doors…" said Ryoga. "LET'S GO!"

"WE SHALL FREE THEM!" said Kuno.

Ryoga, Kuno, and Happosai immediately rushed towards the doors and threw them open.

"AKANE!"

"AKANE! PIGTAILED GIRL!"

Unfortunately, the door lead not into the main salon, but rather to the guards' quarters. All of the guards inside stopped what they were doing and glared at the two.

"Wrong room…" Ryoga said meekly. "Hope we didn't interrupt you… so sorry…"

Ryoga, Kuno, and Happosai awkwardly backed away while closing the doors. A moment after the doors were closed, the guards immediately got up and gave case. The group screamed as they ran for their lives.

Back at the main salon…

"GET 'EM AWAY GET 'EM AWAY!"

Ranma-chan turned to see Stella frantically trying to get away from the horde of mice.

"Stella!" Ranma-chan quickly rushes over and picks up Stella before jumping up to one of the higher levels of the room, joining up with the others. She sets the blonde down, who started breathing hard. "Easy, Stella. Easy there."

"I can't stand mice…" said Stella.

From his throne, Toma could only laugh at the scene. "Hahahaha! This is hilarious!"

Sarutoru appeared at his side. "My lord, isn't it about time you chose a bride?"

Toma stopped his laughing. "Hmmmm…. Not yet." Sarutoru's expression fell as soon as he heard that. "This is entertaining, but I'm still not satisfied yet. I want to see what else these ladies can do. Go and prepare the next round."

"Yes, my lord…" said Sarutoru.

Unknown to Toma, Ranma-chan and her group glared at the snotty prince. They were more than irritated this brat was taking delight in seeing his female captives humiliating themselves.

"Seriously, who does he think he is!?" said Layla. "He thinks putting girls through this crap will make them want to marry him?"

"He deserves more than just a spanking…" added Nodoka.

A little later, the next round was set up.

"And now for the next round, the obstacle course cooking race!" announce Sarutoru. "Ready… set…"

Before he could finish, the double doors burst open, where the male members of the shipwrecked group barreled in. They all looked around in confusion.

"Huh?" said Ryoga.

"Now where are we?" wondered Mousse.

Ryoga looked up and saw Akane and the others standing amongt several young women. "Hey, that's-" He was cut off as Soun push him down out of the way.

"AKANE! KASUMI! NABIKI!" shouted Soun.

"Dad!" shouted Akane.

"How dare you intrude into this place!" said Torristan angrily as he and Wanton appear on one of the higher levels.

Numerous guards also poured into the room and surrounded the men with numerous weapons drawn. The male castaways took battle stances back to back.

"Looks like we hit the jackpot!" said Mousse.

"Seems that way!" said Ryoga.

"Silence! You are in the presence of Prince Toma!" shouted Sarutoru.

"Don't put on airs, you bride-nappers!" retorted Mousse.

"Give me back Akane!" shouted Ryoga.

Toma smiles on his throne. "Ah, perhaps their antics will amuse me further. Let them provide us with entertainment!"

Sarutoru relays the order. "Take them!"

"Saotome!"

"Shall we?"

"I don't like it, but-"

"For Shampoo!"

"Let's go!"

That was when the guards charged at them. Soun quickly kicked at a spear guard trying to stab at him. Genma Stomps down on two more guards. Kuno rushes past some guards as he swung his bokuto at them. Mousse jumps up and throws out some chained weapons he pulled out from his short sleeves. Ryoga pulled off several bandannas from his head and threw them at the guards. It soon became an all-out brawl.

"Oh my! This is bad!" said Flora from the side.

"It's become a complete free-for-all!" said Ukyou. "Ranma! What're we going to do?"

Ranma-chan's eyes narrowed, then turn her attention to the others. "Stay up here with Mom!" Ranma-chan quickly tears off her skirt for better movement then kick off her high heels. She jumps down and joins in on the fight and brought out her souls. The Phantom Specialists surround Ranma-chan as they each let off a barrage of punches as she ran that sent guards flying.

From the throne platform, Toma continued to laugh in amusement.

"Hahahaha! That's great! Keep it up! Hahahahahaha!" Toma stopped laughing when he noticed a shadow over him. He looked up in surprise when he saw a young woman standing over him angrily. "Huh? What're you-"

SLAP!

The girl slapped Toma across the face. It was loud enough that everything stopped on a dime.

To be continued…

Author's notes:

Another done. I guess I'm halfway there on this side-story. So who do you think slapped Toma in the end here? Let me know in your reviews and your reasoning. As for the contest, I figured Tecna would be the type to use loophole abuse, and Flora really is good with plants, magic has nothing to do with it, her passive abilities are still in effect. As I wrote those, I began to realize how much of an insufferable ass Toma really is. Ooooh the possibilities to put the punk in his place with this new Ranma...
