Broken Hearts Combined Chapter 44: Night in Atlanta!
The Jade Realm It is a Realm of the sword A Realm of magic A Realm of beauty A Realm of romance A Realm of beauty A Realm of the Armsmaster And now it is the Realm of Ranma Saotome
And a Realm of sleeping in late
We see the inside of Sheila's room. The room is somewhat nicely furnished, though some would say it's a bit simplistic. There's a large oak desk in one of the corners, with a recently polished mirror that's about 2 ft tall and 1.5 ft wide connected to it, a chair in front of it. There's an oak dresser in the corner with leaf designs carved into it. Opposite to the dresser is a bookcase with many books that look like they haven't been touched in years. And there's a wooden bed, with white satin sheets that currently holds three occupants. A sleeping Ranma, Britanny, and Sheila. The two werecats are snuggling up against Ranma.
We see Julia standing by the doorframe to the room. She has her arms folded in front of her chest, and a huge grin adorns her face.
Julia (Thinks): This is such a cute sight I wish I brought a camera from the Earth Realm with me.
We see Aeila walk into the doorframe to the room as well.
Aeila: Sigh You see this Julia?
Julia: Yes
Aeila (Smiles): You know what this means, don't you?
Julia (Smiles): Of course
Julia Aeila: Grandchildren will be on the way!
The slight victory dance that Julia and Aeila do, causes the three occupants of the bed to awaken slowly Julia and Aeila are oblivious to Ranma, Britanny, and Sheila waking up, and continue dancing
Julia Aeila (Singing, dancing): Going to have grandchildren! Going to be grandparents! Going to have grandchildren! Going to be grandparents! Going to have grandchildren! Going to be grandparents
Ranma (Stares): Okay This is Um
Britanny: Different?
Ranma: Yeah "Different"
Britanny: Sigh Sorry you had to see this Ranma
Sheila: Sigh Mom, Mrs. Brigand-Diggers Could you please stop that? Please?
Julia and Aeila stop their festivities and turn to look at the three people in bed.
Julia: Sorry I originally came here to tell you breakfast was ready, and that we'll be returning to the Earth Realm later today.
Ranma: We're going back home?
Britanny (Smiles): Yes! I can go to a mall again!
Sheila (Frowns slightly): So I get to go too?
Aeila: Yes! Of course you do. After having a few talks with Edge Guard Officers, I arranged it so I would be taking care of the Northern Edge Guard while you and your brother Gar, get to go to the Earth Realm Sheila.
Sheila: Gar's going too?
Julia: Yes I want to finish Gar's training And possibly start training Luan and Carla as well
Ranma: Cool He seems like a decent guy to me And a good sparring partner
Julia: Yes. So you three get dressed and come downstairs. It's time to start breakfast, and then back to Earth.
Ranma (Smiles): Okay
Britanny: Sure.
Sheila: See you in a bit.
Julia and Aeila then leave Sheila's room, closing the door behind them. Ranma has a genuine smile.
Ranma: Finally Breakfast AND afterwards, going back home
Britanny (Smiles, wraps arms around Ranma): I know how you feel It will be great to go back home
Sheila (Smiles, wraps arms around Ranma): And for you Ranma, you'll be going back victorious, bearing the title as the new reigning Armsmaster.
Ranma: Yep Now to get dressed, and then start eating
Ranma tires to get up, but has trouble as Britanny and Sheila are still hugging onto him.
Ranma: Um Britchan Shechan
Britanny (Smiles): Yes?
Sheila: What is it Ranma?
Ranma: Will you two let go of me so we can start the day?
Britanny (Smiles mischievously): What's in it for us? Puuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Sheila (Smiles mischievously): Yeah Puuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ranma (Sweat-drops): Um
Britanny Sheila: Puuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ranma (Teary-eyed): All I wanted was some breakfast
Britanny: Don't worry We'll just give you a little 'quickie'.
Sheila: And then you can go and have breakfast.
Ranma: You mean that?
Britanny: Of course!
Sheila: Yep. Now, ON WITH THE LOVING!
Britanny and Sheila then move the blankets over themselves and Ranma completely.
Back in the Earth Realm, we see a clear orange-tinted sky, which marks the time being that of early in the morning; with very little accumulation of clouds This allows for us to see a large black colored Stealth Military Helicopter, with the symbol of an Eagle's Talon on the sides, as it makes its way through the skyline of the small suburb of Decatur in Atlanta, Georgia.
We also see this helicopter heading towards a mansion, one of the many in the area. It is a yellow colored three-story mansion with red roof shingles, done in a rectangular shape all around. On the side of the roof is a small protruding building for an elevator and in the center roof is a large circle design with a red "H" in it. After a few moments, the helicopter lands on that area, blowing up dust from off the roof.
The doors for the elevator on the roof open, and out steps Erwin 'Pee Wee' Talon in his usual pressed-shirt, tie, khaki shorts, brown shoes, and lab-coat. He smiles as he sees the door on the Helicopter open and then seeing Daishi step out through it.
Erwin: Welcome Back Daishi So, do you have the guinea pigs I asked for?
Daishi (Bows): Yes Lord Talon. We have the man and woman who are cursed by Jusenkyo, a Joketsuzoku Amazon, and a member of the Phoenix People. All are asleep in Stasis Pods on the helicopter. Oh, and we learned something else about the Amazon and Phoenix that you may find interesting
Erwin: Oh? And what is that?
Daishi: Ionis scanned them, and apparently, the Amazon has a Jusenkyo Curse as well And the Phoenix woman seems to have had one at one point, since there is residual evidence of magical energies that suggest there was a curse on her.
Erwin (Raises an eyebrow): Interesting. I'll have to look into it And Daishi, what about what I had originally asked for? What about the samples of Jusenkyo water from the different springs?
Erwin (Smiles): Perfect Now Daishi, have you and Ionis go and bring down the Stasis Pods to the lab, and have Zelda bring down the Jusenkyo Spring water samples.
Daishi (Bows head): Off course Lord Talon.
Daishi then moves back into the helicopter to help move the Stasis Pods from the cargo area. Erwin moves to the side of the rook and looks into the distance, specifically in the direction of two specific mansions
Erwin: Gina Diggers Penny Pinser Soon, I will have the genetically engineered super-soldiers I have always wanted Then you won't be able to get in my way any longer, and then I (Smiles evilly). Then I will have Britanny, Brianna, Genn, and Charlotte as my next set of guinea pigs!
Erwin then goes into his trademarked evil laugh. He has what he needs for his next experiment, and no one is going to stand in his way, NO ONE!
Meanwhile in another part of Decatur in Atlanta, Georgia, we see Gina Diggers, Archaeologist and technological Genius!
Gina sits by a table in the lower levels of her lab with high-tech looking machines of all sorts around her, making all sorts of mechanical noises, lights flashing, and there's a large computer screen in the center of the network of machines. Most of the machines functions we can't even comprehend, or we don't even want to know about
Gina is currently in an open white lab-coat, green shirts with the relief of "GD" over the left breast, (which symbolizes Gina Diggers, aka "Gold Digger") kaki-colored pants, and dark brown leather work-boots. She looks through a high-powered microscope Today, she is going to do it She has managed through DNA Study to isolate the part of a composition of cancer, which allows it to mutate healthy cells, causing massive damage to the physical body Doing so will allow her to make a remedy for lower forms of cancer, which will allow for doctors to help soothe the pain of patients through forms of therapy. Gina smiles to herself
Gina (Smiles): At last I'm about to go down in history as the person to find a cure for the cancer! I might even get a Noble Peace Prize for this And if not that At least a decent amount of cash Tee hee!
Gina uses her special micro-tools, instruments that allow her to interact with the world of the subatomic particles of viruses and bacterium. She moves ever so slowly This will take all her concentration. Gina sweats as she tries to manipulate genetic structure of the strands of cancerous carbon-based material of the infected cell
Gina: Focus Focus That's it Eyes on the prize Gina Eyes on the
Suddenly the door to the Gina Lab slams open, making a loud cracking sound, and in turn, surprising Gina and making her body jerk forward in shock. The Micro-tools tear through the infected cell and all the work is lost Gina looks at her 'wasted' efforts and screams.
Gina: DAMN IT ALL! (Narrows eyes in anger). Grr WHO SLAMMED THE DOOR TO MY LAB!?
Gina breathes heavily as she turns around, and sees Ryan Tabbot, his hand still on the door. He sweats as he sees Gina is angered to the point where she'll most likely sic some Hurt Bots on him Again
Gina then stomps over to the scared-shitless Ryan. She is definitely going to give Ryan a piece of her mind.
Gina (Snarls): Ryan
Ryan (Sweats, left eye twitches in fear): Uh I can explain Gina PLEASE LET ME EXPLAIN! This is VERY important what I have to say!
Gina: Ryan You have until the count of ten If your reason for ruining my delicate work isn't good enough, then I will activate the Hurt Bots, and they will KICK YOUR ASS! NOW EXPLAIN!
Ryan: Well, you see
Gina: One
Ryan: The thing is
Gina: Two
Ryan: Will you stop counting so I can tell you what's happening?
Gina (Counts quickly): Three, four, five six
Ryan (Wide-eyed): ACK! Give me a minute to explain!
Gina (Counts quickly, takes remote out of her lab-coat pocket): Seven, eight, nine
Ryan (Scared shitless. So speaks at high-speed): GinalistentomeforIhavesomethingveryimportanttotellyou!YourmomandyoursisterBritann yarecomingbackhometoday,andyourdadwantsyoutobeupstairswhentheothersgreetthem!
Gina (Blinks in confusion): Huh? What did you say?
Ryan (Calms down, speaks at a normal pace): I said, "Gina listen to me for I have something very important to tell you! Your mom and your sister Britanny are coming back home today, and your dad wants you to be upstairs when the others greet them!"
Gina (Blinks): Huh? Mom and Brit are coming back home today!?
Ryan (Smiles): Yes.
Gina (Smiles): Great! Thanks for telling me Ryan!
Gina hugs Ryan, the anger she had before already forgotten Unfortunately, she hugs onto Ryan a bit too tightly, while she still had the remote for the Hurt Bots in her hand A mechanical voice then fills the air of the lab.
Mechanical Voice: Hurt Bot Program #498-TB initiated. Program-Kick-Dumbass-
Martial-Artist-Around-Like-A-Hackey-Sack will now commence.
Ryan: Uh oh
Gina: Ryan RUN!
Ryan lets go of Gina, and starts running for the elevator of Gina's lab. Just as he's about to make it, he's assaulted by eight Hurt Bots, who then start beating the tar out of Ryan. Gina winces as she watches her boyfriend get the crap beaten out of him
Gina: Jinkies That's gonna leave a mark
Back on Jade, we see Sabbo watching the Town of Seer's Hamlet from a distance, on a grassy hill. He closes his eyes slowly, as he feels a certain set of energy-signatures leave the Jade Realm, through, what he's guessing is a Dimensional Gate.
Sabbo: Sigh Ranma's gone back home
Sabbo then stands up and looks up at the sky.
Sabbo: Ranma Saotome is now the Armsmaster of Jaden I have done my part Now, I can finally rest until I'm needed again Which hopefully, won't be for a while
Sabbo smiles and closes his eyes.
Sabbo: Yes Rest
Sabbo then walks back into the shadows between the trees behind him and disappears without a trace once again A slight breeze picks up, blowing leaves around One can swear that they'd hear Sabbo's voice on the wind
Sabbo (Voice): It's been fun while it lasted Now it is back to the Earth Realm for you Ranma Saotome
Back in Atlanta Georgia of the Earth Realm, Theo is preparing for his wife's (and hopefully, Britanny's) return. We see him using his magic to levitate a few party favors and banners all over the dining room of the Diggers Mansion.
Theo (Thinks): It will be good to see Julia again And I can't wait to see my sweet little girl It's been close to a year since I last saw her or even heard from her
Brianna and Charlotte have helped decorate the place a bit, cooked a few meal items, and invited some of their closest friends and allies to greet Brit.
Brianna (Holding a large pan with grilled tuna steaks): Ah Smell this Charlotte? This is the smell of a true feast! You cooked it beautifully.
Charlotte (Sniff air): Thanks! I've had Penny teaching me how to cook! But It smells like that fish place you've been taking me to go and eat dinner The Boat House
Brianna: So? It's still the smell of a true feast!
Penny Pinser and Kevin "Ace" Koss sit on a couch as Genn takes a picture of them with an instant camera. Genn hands the photo to Penny.
Genn: Here you are. What do you think?
Penny: Oh It came out nice Naturally, we'll have a much better photo taken when we get married
Ace's eyes widen, and his body stiffens in pure and utter terror. Penny wants to get married to him.
Ace (Wide-eyed): MARRIED!?
Penny: I mean if we get married! IF!
Genn (Smiles): What's that sound? Is that wedding bells I hear?
S ance (Concentrates): I see a tuxedo in your near-future Ace
Genn (Smiles): Is there a tux for you in OUR near-future S ance?
S ance (Shakes head): Nope I do not see one.
Genn (Glomps onto S ance): I'll make sure there is then!
S ance: Eep
Penny waves her hand in front of Ace's face He's in shock.
Penny: Kevin Kevin? Are you okay Kevin?
Off to the entrance of the room, we see Gina, wheeling in Ryan Ryan is in a complete body-cast and is sitting in a wheelchair.
Brianna (Blinks): What happened to Ryan? Hurt Bot Program #498-TB?
Gina: Sigh Yes. Hurt Bot Program #498-TB
Brianna: Why didn't you put him in a Rejuvenation Tank?
Gina: Because, I wanted him to be here when mom and possibly Brit and Ranma get back here. Besides, Ryan's not totally damaged He can still move his right pinky-toe. Go on and show them Ryan.
Ryan shows them, as that is the only section of him not covered in a body-cast. After the first wiggle, we hear a snapping sound come from his toe.
Ryan (Wide-eyed): GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Gina (Winces): Well There went his pinky-toe
And, to even out the group and be there to celebrate the possible return of their friend, Danielle "Pink Avenger" Carter, and Barbara "Crush" Duncan are there as well. When the portal opens up in the center of the room. They are prepared for a victorious Julia What they get is a surprise
Julia steps out, all bandaged up, but a huge smile is plastered on her face. Then Britanny gets out of the portal behind her, followed by Ranma, Sheila, Gar, and a few others none of them recognize; a weretigress, four werelions, two women that look like Ninjas, and a wererat.
Ashaton (On floor): Ouchies That was a rough trip
Kitzia: Well, no one ASKED you to come along
Ashaton: But it was the fastest way back to the Earth Realm!
Gar: Then stop complaining!
Ranma (On ground): Ow
Britanny (Grabs Ranma's arm): Let me help you up Ranma.
Sheila: Hope you're okay Ranma.
Theo is a bit unnerved by the wererat's presence, so he looks Julia over and asks her a question.
Theo: I take it by your smile, that you're still the Armsmaster?
Julia: Nope. I'm just a Weaponsmaster now.
Theo (Wide-eyed): What!? Are you okay? Who did this to you?
Julia: Ahem. Allow me to introduce to you, the NEW Armsmaster of Jade. My student, Ranma Saotome!
Most of the people gasp in shock Ranma beat Julia!? However, as a few of the women see Ranma, they have Other thoughts
Brianna (Thinks): Holy Look at that muscle tone That face (Moves around to stare at Ranma's backside). THAT ASS! Oh PLEASE, someone say he's available
Gina (Thinks, drools): That's Ranma? Hummina, hummina, WOO! He got so much better looking! He puts Ryan to shame! I wonder if he's available
Genn (Looks at Brianna, then Gina): Uh Brianna Gina You're drooling
Theo stares at Ranma for a bit, then gets VERY angry Going into his full-demon head attack. (Which is a flaming skull).
Theo (Demon Head Trick): RANMA! HOW DARE YOU HURT MY WIFE!?
Ranma (Wide-eyed): EEP! MERCY!
Britanny: DADDY, LEAVE MY RANCHAN ALONE!
Sheila: YEAH! YOU WANT ME TO GIVE YOU A KAPOWIE!?
Theo sees Britanny and breaks out into Soun-style cry #236. (The Oh-my-daughter-who-
has-been-gone-for-so-long-is-back-and-now-I-can-be-happy-again cry).
Theo (Hugging Britanny, crying): OH BRITANNY! BRITANNY! IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN!
Britanny (Sweat-drops, hugs Theo back): It's good to see you too daddy But could you loosen up your grip? You're kind of hurting me
Theo: Yes. Sorry.
Theo lets go of Britanny and moves off to the side. Danielle walks up to Brittany and places her hand on Brit's shoulder.
Danielle: Hi Cheetah! Long time no see.
Britanny: I know!
Gina: Hey Brit, who're the others with you?
Britanny: Well, the weretigress is Princess Kitzia.
Kitzia: Hi!
Britanny: Those four werelions are her bodyguards.
Werelions 1-4: Hello!
Britanny: The annoying wererat is Ashaton Chaos.
Ashaton: Hey, I don't think I'm annoying
Britanny: And for those of you that don't know, the two werejaguars are Sheila and Gar.
Sheila: Hello.
Gar (Bows): Hello again. It is good to see you again Dr. Diggers, Gina, Brianna.
Gina (Smiles): Hey, I remember you! You were that cute guy at the tavern!
Brianna: Yeah! You were there during the time Grandpa was trying to kidnap Gina.
Gar (Blushes): Well, thank you for remembering me.
Britanny (Eyes the plate of grilled tuna steaks): Is that for me!?
Brianna: It's for all of us Brit.
Ranma (Eyes Ryan): Hey What happened to Ryan?
Gina (Sighs): Hurt Bot Program #498-TB
Ranma (Blinks): Huh?
Gina: Sigh Long story
Ranma (Sweat-drops): Well I have a bunch of long stories I could tell you
Brianna: Sounds interesting. We could share them over lunch.
Britanny: Sure! And boy, do I have some stories to tell!
Julia (Pats Britanny on the shoulder): I think I should tell your father first before you go into certain 'stories', all right?
Britanny: Okay mom.
Ranma (Sweats): Thank you Master Julia.
Julia: Don't mention it
Theo (Raises an eyebrow): What stories would these be Julia?
Julia: Later Theo, later For now, LET'S EAT!
We see the inner chamber of the Musk Citadel Fauntleroy looks at Number Thirty-
Eight, Rook, and Hanzo.
Fauntleroy: So Do you have anything to report to me about the Arks?
Number Thirty-Eight: Well, it seems that the werecheetah and werejaguar that have the Arks have come to the Earth Realm?
Fauntleroy (Raises an eyebrow): Oh? How nice
Rook: Yeah And we have some other things to tell you.
Fauntleroy: Oh? And what is that?
Rook: It seems the third Ark is in the Earth Realm.
Fauntleroy: REALLY? WHERE!?
Hanzo: We do not know Fauntleroy All we know is they werecheetah and werejaguar have to leave on a 'quest' to pick it up from someone in Japan.
Fauntleroy: Japan?
Number Thirty-Eight: Yes. Apparently, the boy who defeated Julia, and claimed the title of Armsmaster from her, will have to go to Japan to retrieve it.
Fauntleroy: And how did you find this out?
Hanzo: Simple During the celebration, I snuck into Seer's Hamlet and spied on the Diggers I saw what happened with the Ark All we have to do is find some guy named Toramasa Kobayakawa, and we'll find the Ark.
Fauntleroy: Excellent. Number Thirty-Eight, I want you and Number Six to go to Japan and begin searching for those Arks As for Rook and Hanzo, I want you two to tend to the Musk, and oversee their work on digging up that Saurian Tool.
Rook: Fine
Number Thirty-Eight: It shall be done my lord.
Fauntleroy: Good. You are dismissed.
Number Thirty-Eight bows to Fauntleroy and leaves the Musk Citadel with Rook and Hanzo. Fauntleroy allows himself to smile as the three close the door to the area behind them
Fauntleroy: And if the Musk haven't dug up the Tool yet, then I shall go back to the Amazon village, and claim them as my newest set of slaves
Fauntleroy laughs as he looks up towards the ceiling.
After some time of getting settled back into the ways of the Diggers household, Britanny does something she hasn't done in a loooooooooooooooooooong time SHOPPING! So, Britanny drags Ranma, Sheila, and Kitzia to the nearest mall so she can make up for missed shopping hours.
Britanny (In the drivers seat of a Gina Mobile): Bye for now daddy! See you later!
Theo (Waves goodbye): See you later.
Ranma (In front seat with Britanny): Hey Britanny, do we have to go shopping?
Britanny: YES RANMA! I haven't gone shopping in almost a year! I must make up for lost time!
As they take off at high-speeds in one of the Gina mobiles, Theo shakes his head
Theo: Sigh My credit card balance was going SO WELL too
Julia (Puts her hand on Theo's shoulder): Don't feel so bad dear She earned it After all Britanny's earned it, and it will give her some quality time with Ranma and Sheila in another fashion
Theo (Raises an eyebrow): Oh? What's that supposed to mean?
Julia smiles as she leads Theo back inside the house.
Julia: Theo Have you ever heard of Giant Clan Law #356B?
Once at the mall, Britanny gets herself an her friend some new clothing
Britanny gets herself some dresses, and a pair of tight-fit black denim jeans, a pair of white running-sneakers, lime-green t-shirt with "Have you hugged your cheetah today?" written on the front in yellow lettering with black spots, and a black leather vest.
Britanny (Looks at herself in a mirror): Ah It feels good to wear NEW designer clothing again Puuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Britanny buys Ranma a pair of dark blue denim jeans, black leather belt, black leather boots, white t-shirt with a yin-yang design on the front, black leather fingerless gloves, and a dark blue denim jacket.
Ranma (Looks himself over): Gee Thanks Britchan You didn't have to.
Britanny: No problem Ranma You know I love buying you stuff You deserve it After all You keep me incredibly happy all the time Puuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Britanny gives Ranma a kiss on the cheek.
Ranma (Blushes): Brit
Britanny (Smiles): Puuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Britanny buys Sheila a few dresses, a pair of khaki pants, brown leather hiking-boots, a black t-shirt, and light denim vest.
Sheila: Are you sure this outfit is me?
Britanny: Positive.
And, Britanny buys Kitzia a number of dresses, a pair of white pants, a black shirt, white vest, and white high-heel pumps.
Kitzia: Wow So this is Earth Realm fashion I've never seen anything like it!
Britanny: Do you like it?
Kitzia: NINE HELLS YEAH!
Britanny: Good to hear!
Kitzia: But One thing is bothering me Where are all my bodyguards? I remember Brianna said she wanted to talk to them, and then they disappeared
Britanny (Sweat-drops): Hmm I'm sure they'll turn up Eventually
In the Diggers Mansion, we see the inside of Brianna's room Brianna lies under the sheets of her bed, surrounded by S ance, a male Genn, the Wererat Ashaton, and the four werelion bodyguards.
Brianna (Smiles): Hmm I really should do this more often It was quite a change of pace from just having S ance and Genn Puuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ashaton (Teary-eyed): The woman in insatiable!
Genn S ance: Welcome to our hell
We see Julia and Theo sitting downstairs in the MAIN Diggers Mansion Contrary to what people usually think, there are TWO mansions The mansion in the front, which is used the most, and houses the girls and Gina's lab, and the Original mansion in the back, where Julia and Theo stay most of the time. The second mansion isn't used as much, since Gina and Brianna have tended to stay close to the Gym and Lab.
In the library of the main Mansion, we see Julia and Theo sitting across from each other. Julia looks incredibly happy, but Theo's eyebrow twitches in annoyance
Theo (Eye twitches): Let m get this straight Mumsey had asked Ranma and Britanny to have a battle to show her how well Britanny had been doing with her training and the Ranma defeated her.
Julia (Smiles): Correct!
Theo: And, since Britanny IS adopted by us and is your daughter, she is also a member of the Giant Clan.
Julia: Correct.
Theo (Tenses up): And so that means the laws apply to her as well.
Julia: Indeed Theo.
Theo: And that includes Giant Clan Law #356B; which states that when an outsider male warrior beats a female warrior of the Giant Clan, she has to marry him.
Julia: Yes Theo.
Theo: I think I'm going to be sick
Julia: Oh Theo, don't be so upset! Britanny loves Ranma, and he loves her too! In fact, according to the law, they're already married!
Theo: Well Julia, here they're not married! If they are to be considered husband and wife, then they need to go through a wedding ceremony and get a marriage license.
Julia: That reminds me, how do people of the Earth Realm tend to look at Oh What's the term you earth natives use? For when a man marries more than one wife, or a woman marries more than one man
Theo: The term is "bigamy" And it's considered illegal here Julia
Julia: Really? Well, Aeila, who is the mother of Gar and Sheila made a deal with Mumsey so that Sheila would also be Ranma's mate
Theo (Wide-eyed): WHAT!?
Julia (Smiles): Yes! He loves them quite dearly. In fact, he's made love with them almost every night since I met up with them again. He's quite manly
Theo's eyes twitch.
Julia: Theo? Are you okay dear?
Theo then screams out a phrase at the top of his lungs One that a lot of people know by hearts
Theo (Demon Head Technique): RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNMMMMMMMMMMMA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Julia: THEODORE PISQUAL DIGGERS!
Theo (Calms down): Um Yes dear?
Julia: Don't you dare do anything to break them up! The Giant Clan Laws are law to me! They will not be broken apart for any reason! And if you try, then you're sleeping on the couch!
Theo: Yes dear, I understand I just want to have a 'Talk' with Ranma Oh, and Julia I wanted to talk to you about something.
Julia: Oh? What's that?
Theo: Britanny's friend; Danielle Carter told me something interesting
Julia: What is that Theo?
Theo: She told me that she had seen a male werecheetah recently.
Julia (Eyes widen in interest): Are you sure?
Theo (Nods his head): Positive
Julia remains silent for a few moments, as Theo then relates to Julia what Danielle had told him about her encounter with the possible male werecheetah
We see Ryoga Hibiki and the werecheetah Raphiel Rey, making their way across an open field
Raphiel can't believe this He's been following this Ryoga person for the past two months And he's seen everything from the Fertile Crescent, to the Statue of Liberty in New York, to the Great Wall of China, to the wine fields of France, and the snow-
covered glaciers of Antarctica Yet
Raphiel: Um Mr. Ryoga?
Ryoga: Yes?
Raphiel: Are we in Japan yet!?
Ryoga: No. Not yet
Raphiel: Okay Um Are we close to Atlanta, Georgia yet?
Ryoga: Nope Just keep walking We'll find one of those places eventually
Raphiel: Sigh Okay Mr. Ryoga (Mutters). Sigh I would have been to Atlanta Georgia months ago if I followed that sign instead of this guy
Raphiel continues walking, deep in thought has he follows Ryoga. Then his eyes widen as he suddenly stumbles, his surrounding having changed Ryoga is now gone, and Raphiel is no longer in an open field But what looks like a suburban neighborhood in Japan.
Raphiel (Looks around): Hey! We made it to Japan finally! (Narrows his eyes). Hey! This is where Ryoga wanted to go Not me! I wanted to go to Atlanta, Georgia! Sigh Now I'm going to have to find out where I am
So saying, Raphiel walks up to the closest house He walks through the front gate and enters the grounds of the place It is a very traditional home, styled to the days of the samurai; definitely late 16th century in architecture. There is a cobblestone path leading from the main gates to the house. Raphiel walks up that path and makes it to the door. He knocks on it lightly.
Raphiel: Um Hello?
A minute passes, and the door finally opens. Raphiel is greeted to the sight of a middle-
aged Japanese woman, treated splendidly by the years. Her red hair in a slight bun in the back, sapphire eyes, fair skin, and a violet kimono with a yellow lotus and nightingale print near the bottom, and a yellow obi.
Raphiel: Um Do you know where I am?
The woman's eyes widen as she sees Raphiel. She mutters silently to herself.
Woman: And I thought nothing could surprise me anymore
So saying, the woman then fainted, but Raphiel manages to catch her before she falls to the ground. Raphiel then lets out a sigh.
Raphiel: Sigh Sorry about that I hope this lady will be okay.
So saying Raphiel then brings the woman back into her home, closing the front door behind him.
We see the Gina mobile with Britanny, (driving) Ranma, Sheila, and Kitzia pull up into the driveway of the Diggers Mansion. Ranma gets out of the car and holds the door open for Britanny.
Britanny (Steps out of car): Thank you Ranma.
Ranma nods his head, he then moves to the back seat of doors and holds it open for Sheila and Kitzia. The two girls then get out of the car as well.
Sheila (Steps out of car): Thank you Ranchan.
Kitzia (Nods her head): Yes. Thank you Ranma Sensei!
Ranma then moves to the trunk and takes all the bags filled with clothing out. He carries them to the front door as Britanny rings the doorbell.
Britanny: Hi! We're back!
The door opens slowly. They see Theo in his casual clothing; brown pants, brown shoes, a tan shirt, and a pipe in his mouth
Nothing unusual
Then they realize that his head is that of a charred skull covered with flames
Yep Nothing unusual
Britanny: Hi daddy! Are Brianna, Gina, and Charlotte ready to go out yet?
Theo (Demon Head): No. Gina is downstairs making 'identification' and 'records' for Gar, Sheila, Kitzia, and the four werelions Brianna is upstairs with said werelions, wererat, Genn, and S ance
Britanny: Ah I see So, they'll be ready to leave in two hours
Sheila: Hey! That's plenty of time for us to do some 'training' with Ranma!
Kitzia: Great! I want to do some training
Ranma (Eyes widen): WHAT!?
Britanny: Sorry Kitzia This is special training that only Sheila and I partake with Ranma We have no room for a fourth person
Theo: Actually, I would like to have a talk with Ranma So, how about you three lovely werecats check on Gina, okay?
Britanny: Are you going to kill Ranma, daddy?
Ranma (Wide-eyed, stares at Theo):
Theo: No Britanny I promised Julia that I wouldn't kill him However, I do want to have a talk with him
Britanny nods her head. Britanny and Sheila give Ranma a kiss on the cheek. Britanny then takes the bags, and the three girls make their way down to Gina's lab. Ranma is left in the Reception Hall with Theo.
Ranma: Are you going to kill me?
Theo: No I just wanted to ask a few questions Though I warn you, I will be blunt with the questions
Ranma: Okay I guess
Theo then leads Ranma to the kitchen of the Diggers Mansion. They sit down at the table. Ranma sees Theo has prepared a pot of tea and some cups before hand. Theo offers a cup to Ranma Ranma is thankful for the friendly gesture, considering the Aura Mage still hasn't dropped the Demon Head Attack, and it's still going strong.
Theo: Okay then I know a few things already, but I'd prefer to here it from you as well Now, first question Have you had sexual intercourse with my daughter Britanny and the werejaguar Sheila?
Ranma (Sweats): Um
Ranma's eyes widen as he sees Theo's body turn completely black, almost like a living shadow, with glowing gold eyes.
Theo (Battle Mode): WELL!?
Ranma (Wide-eyed): WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAHH! YES!
Theo (Goes back to Demon Head): Okay Second question Do you love them?
Ranma: Of course I do! They've been there for me, and have been so kind! I Well I can honestly say that I love them both.
Theo (Nods his head): Good Do you plan on marrying them?
Ranma: Well According to the Giant Clan, we're already married.
Theo: But you have to get married by earth customs as well! So would you?
Ranma: Yes Yes I would.
Theo: That is good to know Third question How many times have you had sex with them?
Ranma (Sweats): Well Um
Theo (Battle Mode): WELL!?
Ranma: I lost count
Theo (Battle Mode, aura glows a golden light): WHAAAAAAAAT!?
Ranma: Well I can say I've been making love with them for over four months now (Small, weak voice). A couple of times almost every night too
Theo (Battle Mode, aura glows a bright silver and gold light): WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?
Ranma: EEP! What can I say? They loved me, I love them, they really wanted it And, well I couldn't really say no to that They really wanted it
Theo (Goes back to Demon Head): Okay, that I understand My Julia can be quite demanding in bed too Well, at least tell me this Have you had unprotected sex with Britanny and Sheila?
Ranma (Sweat-drops): Um
Theo (Battle Mode): WELL!? DID YOU!?
Ranma (Wide-eyed): YES! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
Theo: Well How many times was that? Because if they're pregnant
Ranma: Um Basically every time we made love, it was unprotected .
Theo (Battle Mode, aura glows a bright silver and gold light, stares):
We see a kindly old woman working with the plants in her front yard. She sees a pigtailed Japanese boy run past her at high speeds
Old woman: Hmm Quite a runner But what was with the look of pure, unbridled terror on his face?
We then see a HUGE, flaming skull, with glowing red eyes, and spikes on it, slowly making it's way down the street, following the path the pigtailed boy went
Theo (Ultimate Demon Head Technique): RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Old woman (Waves): Hello Dr. Diggers!
Theo (Ultimate Demon Head Technique): RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN Huh? (Turns to look at old woman). Oh, hello Mrs. Maple!
Maple: How're you doing Theo?
Theo (Ultimate Demon Head Technique): Oh, not too bad.
Maple: New boyfriend to one o your girls? Theo (Ultimate Demon Head Technique): You could say that
Maple: Ah Well, don't hurt him too badly. Have fun!
Theo (Ultimate Demon Head Technique): Don't worry, I will.
Theo then continues chase after Ranma
Yes The peoples of the Suburb Decatur in Atlanta, Georgia are pretty desensitized to such events After having Demon Attacks, slight invasions by Leprechauns with heavy weaponry, fights that include magic and alien technology, having werefolk run all around, and the occasional battle of supreme martial artists, it wouldn't take anything short of the Apocalypse to get their attention
Later, it is nightfall, we see two Gina Mobiles parked outside a Bar and Karaoke Place.
Inside we see Ranma, sitting at the bar with Gar Neither of them is drinking anything alcoholic; it dulls the senses They are just sitting and watching a drunken Britanny and Brianna singing on the Karaoke And it is now that they realize there is one thing Britanny cannot do Sing
Britanny Brianna (Slightly drunk, singing): "Yum, yum Bumblebee, Bumblebee Tuna, I want Bumblebee, Bumblebee Tuna, yum, yum Bumblebee, Bumblebee Tuna, don't you see, I want Bumblebee! YEAH!"
Ranma: Please someone tell me they're singing so badly because they're drunk?
Gina (Shakes her head): Nope It's just that neither of them can sing
Gar: Well, how about you Gina?
Gina (Shrugs shoulders): I'm just as bad So don't expect me to get up there.
Ranma: Thanks!
Sheila (Comes running up to Ranma, Gar, Gina): Hey guys, look at this!
Sheila hands Ranma a large wad of cash. Ranma and Gina's eyes widen.
Ranma: Holy!
Gar: What is that? Paper?
Gina: That's American money Gar And where did you get all of that Sheila?
Sheila: People were having a drinking contest over in that corner, I entered, and I drank all twenty other guys under the table.
Ranma (Wide-eyed): And you're not even tipsy!?
Sheila (Smiles): Nope! This is the good thing about having a small body My regenerative abilities can work on my body much more quickly since it's smaller Which means my body dilutes the alcohol rather quickly.
Ranma: Well, that's interesting.
Gina: How much did you win?
Sheila: The guy said the wad had two thousand dollars.
Gina: Hey, not bad!
Gar: Heh. No one can drink my sister under the table!
Sheila: You got that right Gar!
Britanny Brianna (Slightly drunk, singing): "Meow, meow, meow, MEOW! Meow, meow, meow, MEOW! Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, MEOW! Meow! Meow! MEOW!"
Ranma (Stares): Uh
Charlotte, who was sitting at the end of the bar, starts clapping.
Charlotte: YAY! I love the Meow Mix commercial!
Ranma, Sheila, Gar (Stare at Britanny and Brianna):
Gina (Holding portable video camera): Heh heh! This is pure gold! I can't wait to show them once they're good and sober.
Ranma (Looks at Sheila): Sheila
Sheila: Yeah Ranma?
Ranma: Remind me not to let Britanny drink three gallons of Long Island Ice Tea ever again
Sheila: Consider it done.
We see Raphiel sitting on the floor near the couch he put the Japanese woman on. He feels awfully guilty about making her faint. He never meant to do that. Then Raphiel notices the woman begins to stir, and slowly wakes up.
Woman: Hmm? What a dream
Raphiel: Um Sorry lady This isn't a dream, and I didn't mean to scare you.
Woman (Looks Raphiel up and down): Who Or, better yet WHAT are you?
Raphiel: Um My name is Raphiel. Raphiel Rey! I'm a werecheetah. Um I hope I didn't scare you Ms Um Sorry, I didn't get your name
Woman: Nodoka Mrs. Nodoka Saotome.
Raphiel: Okay. Well, I didn't mean to scare you Mrs. Saotome.
Nodoka: That's okay Out of all the things I'm used to hearing about, I wasn't really expecting to come face-to-face with something completely out of the ordinary By the way, what brings you here?
Raphiel: Um To be honest I'm lost. I was following this Ryoga guy, and now, I have no clue where I am.
Nodoka (Frowns): Ryoga Hibiki?
Raphiel: Yeah. You know him?
Nodoka: Unfortunately, yes.
Raphiel: Okay Um Mrs. Saotome
Nodoka (Interrupts): Please, call me "Nodoka".
Raphiel: Okay Nodoka, do you know where I am?
Nodoka: You are in the Juuban district of Tokyo, Japan.
Raphiel: Okay I got to the country that Ryoga guy wanted to head to at some point But I'm still nowhere closer to finding Atlanta, Georgia
Nodoka: Don't feel so bad.
Raphiel: I know Moping around won't do me any good It's just I followed that guy for almost a quarter of a year I wasted so much time And I still have no clue how I'm going to get to Atlanta
Nodoka considers this for a moment Then a sly smile crosses her face.
Nodoka: Well, why don't you stay here for the time being? It's been so long since there's been a man in this house; what with my husband becoming a drunkard, preaching about his lost dreams of greed, and my son being gone for over a year, on a journey to train himself
Raphiel: You're lonely, aren't you?
Nodoka: That's one way to put it. So would you stay? I could use some help around the house; there's a lot of cleaning to be done.
Raphiel (Smiles): Sure! I'll help! You're the second person I met that isn't truly afraid of my appearance!
Nodoka smiles with that. She looks at a clock on the wall, and sees that it's 3 pm.
Nodoka: Hmm I should start cooking dinner soon. Do you want to help Raphiel?
Raphiel: Sure!
And so, Nodoka gets off the couch and walks to the kitchen. Raphiel follows her.
