Ranma Club: Nihao My Winx!
Chapter 5: Freeing the Concubines
In one of the large halls of Togenkyo Palace, Ranma ran as he thought back to some time before.
Flashback…
The escaped castaways stopped in one of the halls which forked out into several openings. Ranma, Ryoga, Mousse, Kuno, Genma, Soun, Cologne, and Akane stood looking at the openings.
"This place is like a maze! We'll have to split up and look for them." Said Ranma.
"He's right." Said Mousse.
"Let's go!" said Ryoga.
Everyone turned to run off towards different openings. Leaving Soun and Akane behind.
"Akane, you find a way out. I'll search for your sisters." Said Soun.
"No way, Dad!" said Akane. "I'm going to go and find them, too! I can take care of myself!" She then darts off on her own.
"Akane! Wait!" shouted Soun as he ran after his youngest daughter.
The youngest Tendo paid her father no mind as she wandered off on a full head of steam. She couldn't care less what happened to Shampoo, Ukyou, or the Winx, she just wanted to rescue her sisters. It wasn't like she felt insulted she was left behind at the salon.
In another place, Ryoga was thinking to himself how he could get back into Akane's good graces if he were to help save Kasumi and Nabiki.
Ranma was running through the hallways until someone called out to him.
"Ranma! Wait!"
He turned to see Cologne behind him. "Huh? What is it?"
"I know that sooner or later, you will encounter the prince of this island." Started Cologne.
"Yeah, and I intend to kick his ass! So what?"
"You remember what happened the last time you faced him, right?" asked Cologne. "His final attack took you and the others down in an instant."
Ranma winced. He hadn't forgotten about that time. "Yeah, he did some weird move with that sword of his."
"Even though it's an illusionary attack, it's effective enough to attack the mind. The attack felt so real that your mind registered it as pain. It is highly likely he'll use the same tactic against you."
"You may be right, but what can I do against it?"
Cologne then pulls out a knitting needle and places it in Ranma's hand. "Direct your mind to something that's real. This should help with that."
End flashback…
Ranma looked at the knitting needle. "I don't know what she means with this, but she must know what she's talking about." He pockets the needle. "I may need to cover more ground."
He takes a stance, causing his battle aura to flare, along with the Specialist souls to emerge from his body. In a flash of light, Ranma becomes six.
"Six heads are better than one!" said one Ranma.
"Finding them should be easier now." Said a second Ranma.
"Right! Let's go, guys!" said another Ranma.
The six pigtailed boys bump fists with each other before breaking off in different directions.
Somewhere else…
Akane was running on a full head of steam as she wandered the halls.
"Akane! Don't go off on your own!" shouted Soun as he followed his daughter.
Akane ignored her father's pleas. 'I'll show them! I can take care of myself! I'll be the one who'll save Kasumi and Nabiki! Just you watch!'
She comes across a set of double doors. "That looks important!" She rushes to them.
Soun blanches as he remembered those doors. "AKANE STOP!"
Akane barges through the doors. "KASUMI! NABIKI!"
The rest of her words died in her throat as several guards had pointed their weapons at her. Soun runs up in time to see the situation his daughter got into. He could only laugh nervously.
Another place…
Ryoga was running through the hallways trying to search for Akane's sisters in hopes of getting back on her good side once he rescues them. Should be simple enough for a guy like him. He's a strong martial artist, too.
Although that may be true, Ryoga is still the most directionally-challenged person in the world. He's spent most of his time wandering aimlessly through the palace.
Somewhere else…
Mousse wandered the halls trying to find where the other girls had been taken.
"This place is huge! Where could they be held at?" wondered Mousse.
"Mousse!"
Mousse turned around as he recognized the voice. "Shampoo?"
He saw it was indeed the purple-haired amazon along with Ukyou, but both were in their were-forms. "Looks like you've managed to free yourselves just fine."
"Of course! Who do you think we are?" asked Were-Ukyou.
"We gave guards quite surprise!" said Were-Shampoo.
Flashback…
In each of their captivities, Shampoo and Ukyou had been separately taken by a guard in his quarters where they attempted to have his way with her. Unfortunately for them, these two girls weren't as helpless as they looked. Both kneed her captor in the nuts then found they were able to transform into their hybrid forms, giving them much needed strength to overpower their captors. After escaping, they eventually found each other, then later Mousse. (1)
End flashback…
"In any case, we gotta help the others!" said Were-Ukyou.
"Then let's do this!" said Mousse as they all go together.
Another place…
Nabiki was looking scared. Here she was locked in a room with the guard who snagged her away. Unlike the morons at Furinkan High, he was not someone she could easily manipulate. He also didn't care to shower her with riches as she had tried to make him do if he wanted to marry her.
"Wait a minute here! Let's not rush things!" said Nabiki as she cowered on the bed.
"Now now, girlie! This can't wait! Come to papa!" said the guard as he advanced on her with a lecherous expression.
Nabiki brought up her knees while trying to cover up her breasts with her arms due to her skimpy dress. "EEEEEEEK!"
CRASH!
The guard was caught by surprise when the door was broken open via a flying kick, which nailed him in the head. The guard was sent flying and crashing into the opposite wall, knocking him out.
Nabiki was shocked at what she had witnessed and saw that her savior was none other than…
"Shampoo…?"
Were-Shampoo turned to look at Nabiki. "Rescue going to cost you, sneaky girl. Go find exit."
With that, Were-Shampoo leaves. Nabiki could only look in shock, but quickly recovers and makes her way out of the room. "Hey wait! There's no way I can escape on my own here!"
Another area…
Kasumi sat frightened on the bed as the guard who took her began advancing towards her.
"Wait, please… let's talk about this…" said Kasumi.
"There's nothing to talk about. I'm gonna get me some action!" said the guard.
Before Kasumi realized it, the guard had her pinned down on the bed. His hands held her wrists tight against the sheets as he leered at the girl. Kasumi wore an expression of fear, only able to turn away her head as the guard brought his face closer to hers. Tears ran down her face as she made a silent prayer for someone to save her.
Suddenly, before the guard could try and ravish Kasumi, something wrapped around his neck and forcefully pulled him upward. The guard gasped for air as he held what was choking him before getting flung across the room and crashing into the wall, knocking him out cold. Kasumi looked up in shock at a shadowy silhouette, making out a girl's body with a tail.
"Huh? Who're…"
Coming into the light was she swished her tail, having used it to strangle and toss the guard. "Kasumi! You all right?"
"Ukyou? Is that you?" said Kasumi.
"Yeah, and it looks like I came right on time, too."
"Oh thank you… if you were a few seconds late…" Kasumi didn't want to think about it.
"Well it's over now. Come on, we got to get you out of here."
Were-Ukyou leaves the room with Kasumi following. "What about the others?"
"Don't worry. Ranma and the others are taking care of that."
In another room…
Nodoka was backed up against the wall as the guard who carried her off slowly advanced towards her.
"You're not as young as the other girls, but that's all right. I prefer older women anyway!" said the guard as he cornered Nodoka against the wall.
"Gee, I'm flattered." Said Nodoka sarcastically. Just because she's married to a useless fat oaf she no longer loves (and planning to divorce) doesn't mean she's up for easy rebounds.
She suddenly brought her knee up. The guard made a high-pitched squeak as his eyes bulged out followed by crying tears of pain. He held his groin in pain after Nodoka had kneed him in the family jewels. Not wasting a minute, Nodoka chops him in the back of his neck, knocking him out cold.
"I'll see myself out, thank you." Said Nodoka as she left the room.
Once exiting, she came across a few people.
"Nodoka-san!"
Nodoka looked on and saw Kasumi running towards her with Were-Ukyou.
"Kasumi! Ukyou! You're all right!" said Nodoka.
"Same with you, apparently." Said Were-Ukyou. "Guess I shouldn't be too surprised you got yourself out."
"Where are the others?"
"They went to help the others escape." Replied Kasumi.
"Then we'd better help out, too." Said Nodoka. "But first, we got to get you to safety."
"But Nodoka-san-"
"She's right, Kasumi." Said Were-Ukyou. "I know the others can handle themselves. For now, we need to help secure an exit route!"
With that, the foxgirl lead the way.
Another room…
Tecna was being cornered by the guard who took her from the salon. She could only curse that her powers were disabled due to the island's influence.
"No need to be afraid, little missy! I'll take good care of you!" said the guard.
"Hard to believe that from someone who carried me off like a piece of luggage!" said Tecna.
"Now don't be a tease!"
The guard lunged at Tecna. Thinking fast, Tecna ducked and slipped past between his legs. She quickly rushes towards the door, only to find it not opening.
"Don't bother. I've locked it, so we'll not be interrupted!" said the guard as he leered at Tecna.
Before the techno Faerie could get away, the guard grabbed her by the arm and shoved her toward the back of the room again, where he took slow and steady steps towards her.
"Get away from me!" shouted Tecna.
Just as the guard was about to attempt to raise the girl's miniskirt, a crash was heard. Turning to the noise, Ranma stood at the broken remains of the door.
"Tecna!"
"Ranma!"
"Hey! Who the hell are-" the guard was cut off when Ranma charged in with a fist to his gut, knocking the wind out of him. Silver Timmy then emerges and threw the guard into a nearby wall, crumbling it to pieces. He was out like a light.
Silver Timmy fuses back into Ranma who then addresses Tecna. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for the save." Said Tecna. "What about the others?"
"Don't worry. That's being taken care of." Said Ranma. "I used a doppleganger spell on myself in order to find the other girls."
"Ah, so a divide and conquer strategy? Nicely done!"
"Yeah, but now let's get out of here! Once I get you to safety I can help to find the others. This doppleganger spell won't last for too long."
Tecna nodded as she and Ranma left the room and ran down the hall. She understood the drawbacks of duplicating oneself as it takes considerable magic power and focus to keep up. That's when a thought hit her.
"Wait, how are you able to use magic?" asked Tecna.
"Not sure." Replied Ranma. "When I'm a girl, I couldn't use magic. When I'm a guy, I can manage low-level stuff. I haven't learned to teleport long distances like Stella can, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to use it here."
"Strange… then again, this seems to be a male-dominated island. I wonder if that has a connection to it?"
"In any case, it's a lucky break for us."
"Ranma!"
Ranma and Tecna turned to see Cologne hopping along towards them.
"Cologne?" said Tecna.
"It's good to see you two are all right." Said Cologne. She then addressed the pigtailed boy. "I'll take care of her. You go on ahead and look for the others!"
"Thanks for that!" said Ranma. A moment later, he vanished, much to Cologne's shock.
"Huh?"
"I suppose now that I'm fine and with you, the doppleganger's purpose was cleared." Said Tecna.
"What do you mean, child?"
"I'll explain as we walk."
Another room…
"Ooh… you're quite exotic-looking, you know that?" said the guard as he leered at Layla.
"Oh thanks." Layla said sarcastically. "Don't you get anywhere near me."
"You must feel pretty hot in those clothes. Why don't I help you cool off?"
Layla glares at the man's attempt to strip her down and suddenly whacks him in the head with a small statue sitting on a nearby stand.
"Not in this lifetime!" said Layla as she went for the door. She cursed under her breath when she finds the door locked. "Of course it would be locked…"
"Now that wasn't very nice. So you want it rough, do you?" said the guard after recovering from the attack.
Layla quickly went away from the door to get away from her pursuer, only to find herself cornered again.
That was when the door was forcibly kicked open.
"Huh!? What was-" the guard was cut off by a fist planted in his face, courtesy of Amethyst Nabu. The soul then sends the guard flying and crashing into a wall with a kick, sending him to dreamland. With the guard incapacitated, Amethyst Nabu fuses back into his host.
"Layla! You good?" asked Ranma.
"Yeah, thanks for the assist." Replied Layla.
"You're welcome. Now let's am scray!"
Layla didn't argue as she followed Ranma out the door. "Where are the others?"
"I'm on it even as we speak."
"Huh?"
"I used a doppelganger spell on myself to cover more ground. One of me's already found Tecna and she's currently with Cologne."
This took Layla by surprise. "A cloning spell? How are you able to use magic?"
"Not sure. Probably because I'm half faerie or maybe because I'm a guy? Who knows. In any case, that's kind of an advantage for us!"
"You're right. I'm sure the others will be rescued now!"
Wanton's room…
Musa could only feel a bit perturbed when Wanton kept showering her with weird gifts which consisted of dog toys.
"Uh… thanks, but I'm not a dog." Said Musa as she was presented a bone with a ribbon tied around it. Wanton could only stare at her blankly while saying "Aroo!" a few times.
"Listen, I'm a human, okay? I have no need of squeaky toys and all." Musa tried to explain, which only went over Wanton's head.
'Man, this is probably the weirdest kidnapping situation I've ever been in… I suppose I should count myself lucky that this guy isn't trying to take advantage of me. I hope the others are okay…'
She also recalled the time Kuno barged his way in and faced Wanton in an attempt to rescue her, but was easily dispatched by the dogman. For a fat guy, Wanton was surprisingly fast as he had dodged each of Kuno's rapid-fire bokken thrusts before whacking the insane kendoist away. After bashing in his head a few times (which meant he wasn't hurting anything important), Wanton tossed Kuno out like yesterday's garbage where he was promptly picked up by the guards and taken to a holding cell. Musa wasn't at all surprised by the outcome. Still, she continued to be held hostage by the dogman.
When Wanton tried nuzzling himself against her, Musa tried to fend him off.
"Look, I'm flattered, but I'm just not interested. You're not my type, in more ways than one…" said Musa.
"Aroo?"
"It would never work out. I've got someone I like already."
"Aroo!"
"Sorry, but that's how it is."
"Aroo! Aroo! Aroo!" Wanton started shaking his head rapidly, not wanting to hear that.
"Also, I'm not much of a dog person anyway."
"Aroo!"
Suddenly, the door busts open, getting the two's attention. There stood Ranma.
"Ranma!"
"Musa! You all right?" asked Ranma.
"Yeah, I'm fine, but…"
Wanton turned and stared blankly at Ranma before standing up to fight.
Ranma gets into a fighting stance. "Sorry pal, but Musa's leaving with me."
Wanton lets off what sounded like a growl and charged at the pigtailed boy. Ranma was surprised at the speed that the heavyweight man was able to move, but he was still faster. He danced around Wanton's attacks and managed to land a punch at his head, which caused a gong-like sound. Wanton's head vibrated a bit before turning to Ranma with no change in his expression before going on the attack again.
'Geez! What's with this guy? He took an attack to the head and he just shrugged it off!' thought Ranma.
"Ranma! Behind you!" shouted Musa.
Ranma turned to see a large open window behind him, which gives him an idea. He turns back to Wanton.
"Hey mutt! You're so stupid you get hit by parked cars!" taunted Ranma.
Wanton angrily charged at Ranma, who quickly sidesteps while holding a leg out. The dogman tripped over Ranma's outstretch foot, but before he could hit the floor, Onyx Riven pops out and uses Wanton's forward momentum to hurl him out the window. Wanton paused in midair to look down to notice he was several stories up outside the palace. He drops down to the jungle ground below with a resounding thud.
Ranma turned to Musa after getting rid of Wanton. "Musa! You good?"
"Yeah, thanks for the assist." Replied Musa as she got up from the bed.
"He didn't try anything with you, did he?"
"Well, no… not really…" Musa didn't know how quite to put it.
"Well whatever. We need to regroup with the others! Come on!" said Ranma as he lead the way out the room.
Musa quickly follows. "Oh, right! Hope they're all okay!"
"Don't worry. My copies are all over it."
"Copies?"
Ranma gives Musa a smirk. "That clone spell can be pretty handy."
"Wait… so you're…" Musa also understood how a cloning spell worked.
"Yeah. Not sure how I can use magic, but not gonna ask!"
"Point taken. Well what're we waiting for?"
Torristan's room…
The room was large and dark, with numerous logs protruding from the walls. A tray with two goblets of wine were dumped on the floor after Stella swatted them down from Torristan's hands.
"I told you, I want nothing to do with you!" said Stella defiantly.
"Feisty. I like that." Said Torristan. "I suppose you leave me no choice."
Stella gets nervous when the masked man slowly approaches her. "You stay away from me! And why is your room so dark!?"
"Because I'm nocturnal, that's why."
"Even more reason why we're incompatible!" said Stella as she felt her strength draining from the lack of light. "I don't do darkness! And have you no idea who you're dealing with? I'm the Princess of Solaria!"
"A princess, eh? I like you even more!" said Torristan as he smiled behind his mask. "I will make you mine!"
"Not in this life, bub! I've already got a good man! A good STRONG man, and when he gets here, he'll royally kick your lousy feathered butt!"
The door suddenly slams open, letting much needed light in.
"Stella!"
Stella's eyes widened when she heard the voice. "Ranma!"
She and Torristan see Ranma standing at the doorway. "Looks like I made it in time!"
"Well, looks like your 'strong man' has come to rescue you." Said Torristan. "Come then! Show me what you've got!" He leaps up to one of the many logs sticking out of the walls.
"If that's what you want, birdbrain!" said Ranma as he leapt up after him. "You're gonna pay for putting Stella in this dark place!"
Ranma was annoyed how dark the room was as it made it hard for him to see. More than that, he was worried about Stella's condition As he could see her complexion was starting to pale from the lack of light.
'Where the hell did he go!?'
"Ranma! Above you!" shouted Stella.
Ranma looked up and noticed some sparkling above him. He quickly jumped out of the way before a barrage of feathers stabbed into the log he was previously standing on. Just as he recovers his footing, Ranma sees Torristan diving down at him with a sword drawn. Reacting fast, Diamond Brandon emerged with his phantoblade broadsword and blocks the strike.
"What!? What is this!?" said Torristan in surprise. From his perspective, a green blade of light suddenly appeared and blocked his strike apparently on its own.
"That was nothing!" said Ranma as Diamond Brandon swung his sword, which sliced Torristan's weapon in two. The masked man was forced to retreat a distance.
"Looks like I underestimated you, so I'll go full out! FEATHER BLIZZARD!"
Torristan's feathered mantle began flapping like real wings, firing off a swarm of feathers at the pigtailed boy. Ranma however wasn't too worried as he quickly gathered his ki and…
"MOKO TAKABISHA!"
Ranma's ki blast was big enough to completely envelop and destroy Torristan's feather projectiles. The masked man was taken completely by surprise just before the ki bolt struck him head-on. He screamed in pain as he was sent flying and crashing into the opposite wall with tremendous force. In the end, Torristan was in the center of a deep depression in the wall on the point of impact, spread-eagle. His mask was cracked in several places, which finally broke apart, revealing his comically spherical head, a tiny mohawk, a small bird beak, and large eyes which had a glazed expression.
Ranma and Stella were a bit put off by Torristan's real face which wore a pained expression and unconscious.
"Whoa, he literally is a bird-man…" said Ranma.
Stella could only shudder at the thought someone like that was about to force himself upon her. "That guy could use a serious face-lift. No wonder he wore a mask."
Ranma then leapt down to Stella. "Stella! You okay?"
"Yeah, but I've been in the dark for too long…"
Ranma quickly helps the blonde to her feet. "Don't worry. Once I get you out into the hallway, you'll feel right as rain."
"Thank you, Ranma… I knew you wouldn't let us down…"
"Wouldn't dream of it. Now once I get you reunited with the others, I'll get the rest of you."
Sarutoru's room…
"Kasumi! Nabiki!" Ryoga charged into the room as he tried to search for Akane's sisters, not realizing they weren't in the room, nor aware they have already been rescued. Instead, he sees Flora with Sarutoru on a sofa.
"Ryoga?" said Flora in surprise.
"Oh. It's just one of you." Said Ryoga uncaringly and turned to leave.
Flora was shocked at Ryoga's callous attitude. "Wait, what? Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Kasumi and Nabiki. For Akane's sake."
"Are you really just going to leave me here?"
"Sorry, but that's not my problem. See ya."
Before Ryoga could leave, he was confronted by a very angry Ranma who was emitting a red battle aura.
"You bastard…" Ranma said in a low tone.
"Ranma!" said Ryoga.
"You knowingly abandon someone in need just to get in good with an uncute tomboy!?" said Ranma in anger. "AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A MARTIAL ARTIST!?"
Ryoga felt his own anger rise. "DON'T TALK ABOUT AKANE LIKE THAT YOU- EEERK!"
Gold Helia emerged and grips Ryoga's throat before pinning him hard against the wall.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Ranma then unleashed his Amaguriken on Ryoga while Gold Helia held the lost boy in place against the wall, causing his punches to have crushing effects Ryoga's Breaking Point training wasn't prepared to take. "NOW GET LOST YOU UNCARING ASSHOLE!"
Both Ranma and Gold Helia grab Ryoga and mightily threw him out the door, which was followed by numerous crashing sounds from which Ryoga had crashed through several walls in the palace. Flora and Sarutoru were shocked at witnessing the scene.
With Ryoga gone, The phantom Specialist merged into Ranma who turned his attention to the Faerie of Nature. "Flora!"
"Ranma!" said Flora. "Thank goodness!"
"Nothing happened, did it?"
"Well, aside from being asked to drink with him, nothing."
"Oh… that's good, I guess…" said Ranma. He then addressed Sarutoru. "You're lucky you didn't try to force yourself on Flora, because if you had, I'd royally kick your ass. Since you didn't, I'll just take her and be on my way."
"Now hold on there, kid!" said Sarutoru as he got up, a bit insulted he had been ignored the whole time. "Like I'll just let that happen! To rescue the girl, you'll have to get past me first!"
"Figures…" Ranma sighed as he got into a stance.
Sarutoru jumps into place in front of Ranma. "Sarutoru's special attack! Shado- ERK!"
The monkeyman was cut off when he felt something wrap around his neck. Gold Helia emerged again with his cable gauntlet, which he lassoed around Sarutoru's throat. With a mighty pull, Sarutoru was flying toward Ranma, who punches him square in the face, knocking him across the room and smashing into the wall, leaving a deep depression. He was out like a light.
"Sorry, got no time." Said Ranma as Gold Helia merged into him. He looks to Flora. "You okay, Flora?"
"I am now…" said Flora as she stood up and went to him. "I'm more worried about the others."
"Don't worry. My doppelgangers are working on it."
"Dopplegangers?"
Ranma lead Flora out of the room as he explained. "Somehow I can still use a bit of magic while I'm a guy, so I used a copy spell on myself to cover more ground. And from what I'm feeling, everyone is safe and accounted for aside from Bloom."
"Well that's great news!" said Flora.
"For now, we need to regroup."
Somewhere else…
After Ranma's beatdown, Ryoga continued his search for the two elder Tendo sisters, being motivated by Akane's gratitude. In a bid to get somewhere, he tried another approach.
CRASH!
"Yes! I found someplace!" said Ryoga after he smashed his way out of a ceiling. The bandana-wearing boy had the bright idea of breaking his way through the floor and tunnelling through to where he thought Kasumi and Nabiki were being held. He fell several feet down… right into a full-metal holding cell. "What the!?"
He soon found out he wasn't alone as he saw in another adjacent cell a beaten and crumpled up Kuno, moaning pathetically. Earlier, he had a run-in with a certain dogman who Kuno arrogantly thought he could take down easily, but the complete opposite was true.
In another cell, he found Genma, and in two other cells were Soun and Akane.
"You really are useless!" said Akane.
Ryoga could only look down in shame and embarrassment.
Another place…
Were-Shampoo was walking through the hallways with Nabiki tailing behind.
"This place is like a maze! How do these people find their way around here anyway?" asked Nabiki.
"Who knows?" said Were-Shampoo. She sniffed the air and smiled. "Everyone this way!"
"Huh?"
Nabiki followed the catgirl down another hallway, where they come across Were-Ukyou, Kasumi, Mousse, and Nodoka.
"Nabiki! Shampoo!" said Kasumi.
"Kasumi! Everyone!" said Nabiki.
"Glad to see you're all right." Said Nodoka.
"Where're everyone else?" asked Were-Ukyou.
"They're being taken care of."
Everyone turned to see Cologne and Tecna coming from another direction.
"Great-grandmother!" said Were-Shampoo.
"Good to see you all again!" said Tecna. "Cologne-san is right. Ranma's got it taken care of. He managed to save me after all, well, one of them anyway."
"Huh?" said Nabiki in confusion.
At that moment, coming from different directions were Layla, Musa, Stella, and Flora, each with a Ranma clone.
"Girls! And… sons!" said Nodoka.
"You guys!"
Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna, and Layla were happy to be reunited once again along with the others. Were-Shampoo, Were-Ukyou, Mousse, Nodoka, Kasumi, Nabiki, and Cologne were a bit in awe at the sight of four Ranmas in their presence.
"So… you're all… Ranma?" said Were-Ukyou.
"Indeed we are." Said one Ranma.
"And now that we've joined you all together, our job is done." Said another Ranma.
Suddenly, the four Ranma merged back into one. "All of you look for the exit. I need to find Bloom!" With that, the single Ranma fades from view.
"Did that just happen?" asked Mousse.
"Yeah, and he's right. We need to find a way out! Bloom is in good hands!" said Layla.
"Especially since now he's joined back into one again." Said Stella. "Give that brat prince a good whack for me!"
Somewhere else…
Ranma felt his doppelgangers merged back into his being as he wandered the hallways.
"Good! Everyone is all well and accounted for! All that's left is Bloom…"
He comes across an ornate set of doors. More importantly, he could sense Bloom's presence behind them.
"Bloom!"
Ranma charged at the doors…
To be continued…
