"Chibified"

Previously, on "Chibified"...
The male Chibi-puppet shook his head, "Kuno, Ryoga, Mousse, Kodachi, Shampoo, Ukyo, Akane, the list goes on; everybody seems to be getting in on this fight..."
"Holy Hannah, you know what this means, Chibi-ma?" The female puppet announced excitedly, "We've got an unscheduled Survivor Series breaking out here, folks!"
"Are you sure about that?"
"It's either a Survivor Series or Royal Rumble here, Chibi-ma; either way, it's gonna be a real slobber-knocker of a fight!"

"Stupid little chibi-thing," Akane snarled as she summoned her mallet, "Who said you could interfere in my fight!"
When Akane swung her mallet intending to smash Chibi-ko, it was a mistake. It was a mistake born of foolish assumption; Akane assumed that because Chibi-ko - and Chibi-ma, for that matter - looked like Ranma, she would react the same as Ranma did and simply let the violent maniac hit her. It was a mistake because Ranma had been raised by Genma, but Chibi-ko had been based on Ranma with additions to her personality from Nodoka, Ryoko and of course Washu-chan that meant she did not always handle things the same way her Ranma-kun would. In this case, she had no intention of letting Akane just hit her and certainly none of letting the attack go unanswered.
Instead, Chibi-ko rolled to the side away from the mallet and then launched herself towards Akane before the mallet's wielder could recover from her swing. With her arm out to the side, Chibi-ko caught Akane by surprise with a lariat, but instead of knocking her opponent backwards, Chibi-ko ended up swinging around Akane's neck back to her front side and twisting so that she could lock her legs on either side of Akane's head and neck before using Akane's over-reached position and her's own momentum to send the youngest Tendo flying face-first into the ground five feet away.

"Why, you little..." Kodachi spat out dirt as the Chibis made their ways to opposite sides of her head and as soon as she had lifted her body up off the ground, they caught the female Kuno's head in between two kicks from opposing sides - essentially 'boxing her ears' with their feet - which was one blow too much and caused her to collapse back to the ground unconscious.
"Ranma-kun's a good man, he's got a good heart," Chibi-ma said to the unconscious Kuno girl, "He doesn't hit girls..."
Chibi-ko tugged on her own mini-version of Ranma-kun's Chinese-style shirt, "That's what he's got me for now."

Standing over a defeated duo of Ukyo and Shampoo, Chibi-ma raised Chibi-ko's hand into the air, "The winners - and still Tag Team Champions of the Nerima Wrecking Crew..."
"Chibified!" Chibi-ko announced loudly.
Ranma stared at them, not sure what to think, then finally he muttered, "Granny... what have you created?"
And now, the continuation of "Chibified".

The very fabric of Nerima Ward life had changed since that day. There was a saying that went "Question, how does one fight a big monster; answer, with a bigger monster". That day, the two chibi-puppets created by Ranma's maternal grandmother had proven that, despite their diminuitive stature, they were the biggest 'monsters' in Nerima Ward. The number of attacks on Ranma had decreased; firstly, by many of the fiancees, rivals and associated characters having to spend time in the hospital recovering from broken bones, concussions and other injuries suffered that day; and secondly, by deterrant, as the two puppets were still capable of appearing anywhere Ranma himself as and had already demonstrated that they possessed fighting skills on their human counterpart's own level with far more willingness to put an opponent down hard, no matter who they were.
Fortunately for Genma, Doctor Tofu had been able to contact a proctologist and a veterinarian despite the incident being on a weekend and the three of them had been able to perform emergency surgery to remove the wooden sign from the panda's rear end - and because Genma was technically human, despite his being in his cursed form of a panda at the time of the incident, Ranma and the chibi-puppets were cleared of all charges of animal cruelty and violating protected species laws.
For those that were familar with the two miniature Ranma duplicates, it was as though that day had flipped a switch deep inside their beings; whereas before they had been content to merely sit behind their table and comment on Ranma's own fights, now they were just as likely to intervene and deal with the instigator of a fight themselves as they had done that day. As an unexpected side-effect of fulfilling their secondary function of protecting their creator's grandson, Chibi-Ko and Chibi-Ma had done something else in Nerima Ward; they had reduced the overall level of chaos since most of it resulted from attacks on Ranma by rivals, fiancess and their associates. There was still chaos in Nerima Ward, there would always be chaos in Nerima Ward, it was like a well-spring of chaos, but there was no longer uncontrollable and total chaos in Nerima Ward. Some residents had even went so far as to define it by saying that even if he was still there, the chaos had returned to a 'pre-Ranma' level, even if the local hospital was busier than it had been back before the pigtailed martial artist had arrived in Nerima Ward. If anyone had known the American saying that 'There's a new Sheriff in town", they would have thought it appropriate to the new situation in Nerima Ward; the chibi-puppets wore no stars on their chests and didn't carry six-shooters, but they were the new Sheriffs in town.
