Genma-panda #$%s up... by Bolt CrankGenma, still in panda form, wandered into a vilalge he stumbled across while trying to find food.
Not even noticing the ongoing Tournament, his eyes immediately fixed themselves upon the table full of food.
Disregarding the sign (he couldn't read Chinese anyway), he sat down and began eating. When he finally noticed he'd been sighted, he was looking at several angry faces...
Most notably, the purple-haired young lady at the front of the group, who seemed especially angry...
Chapter 5
A New Hope. by Red Priest of the 17th OrderBritanny Diggers, (In hybrid form still) sulked as she sat by a pond. To the contrary, 'lake' would have been a better word. It was a good size body of water she was fishing at.
With fishing pole in hand, Britanny looked to her left. She had already caught a large pile of fish, one that 'dwarfed' her and would make a good snack,
however, Brit's thoughts and energies weren't fully into the activity.
"I wish dad would have let me search too..." Britanny sighed. While her father had let her go along with him to China,
he did not want her running around, as to attract more attention of other people that might be looking for this new male werecheetah.
"Well, at least this gives me a chance to do some more fishing while I wait for dad to come back." Britanny said.
Normally, she wouldn't feel so 'off-guard', but she was in an area she didn't know without anyone she knew. They didn't have time to get Gina as she was staying on college campus.
After a moment, Britanny was then surprised as a burst of wind swept through the area, one that follows a person coming to a stop from running at almost insane speeds.
As the dust settled, Britanny saw him. A male werecheetah. And he was handsome too.
She especially thought hs ponytail was cute. "Alleluia! My prayers have ben answered!" She thought happily.
Blinking a few moments, Ranma as slightly suprised. He knew this had to be the area, yet he wasn't expecting to find a female werecheetah here.
"Hey, are you Dr. Diggers' daughter?" He asked Britanny.
"Luckilly the transation spell Theo had cast earlier was in place, and so Britanny understood what Ranma asked.
"Yes, I am. I am Britanny Diggers. Might I say, it is a pleasure to meet another werecheetah. What's your name?" Britanny asked as she held out her hand.
Blinking a few moments, Ranma realized it was an American gesture. He then shook hands with Britanny.
"My name's Ranma Saotome. Nice to meet you Brit. I take it you fell into Spring of Drowned Werecheetah as well?"
Confused, Britanny blink her eyes once and asked, "Spring of Drowned Werecheetah? What do you mean? I was born a werecheetah."
"Oh? Well, I became a werecheetah recently. There's a spring in the area of Jusenkyo that has the power to turn people into werecheetahs."
Britanny's jaw dropped. "Wow! This really could solve the problem."
"What problem?" Ranma asked.
"For awhile, I knew I was the last werecheetah." Britanny then smiled, "But now, there could easilly be more werecheetahs!"
"Well, okay..." Ranma said. Looking over to the stack of fish she had caught, Ranma asked, "You caught those all yourself?"
Smiling, Britanny nodded her head. "Yep! Fishing is one of my hobbies! I love catching and cooking fish."
Ranma smiled. "Could you show me?" He asked.
Nodding her head, Britanny smiled as she sat back down. She then patted the ground next to her, motioning to Ranma to sit.
Chapter 6
Spring of Drowned...? by Bolt Crank"SPRING OF DROWNED *WERERAT?!!*" Ryoga cried out.
"Yes, sir, very tragic story of wererat who drown in spring 5 year ago. Angry wererat elder punish subordinate by drowning him in spring, not knowing of the magic of Jusenyko..."
Chapter 7
It's All in the Gene Pool... by Red Priest of the 17th OrderStrokijng his chin with his left hand, the Jusenkyo Tour Guide thought. "Yes, 5 years ago it happened. I was on duty then..."
(---BEGIN FLASHBACK---)
It is five years ago. The, (then thinner) Jusenkyo Tour Guide steps out from his hutt. He stretches. "Looks like it shall be another beautiful day in Jusenkyo."
The Jusenkyo Tour Guide was happy. It was 12 years since someone had been cursed by Jusenyko.
The last case was when some old man was bathing a new-born child in the 'Spring of Drowned Werewolf riding Tiger while carrying Jellyfish and Harpy'. Boy, was THAT ever a mess...
"Still not as bad as the name the boy got though." He couldn't help but wonder why that strange elderly man had named the boy as 'Pantyhose Taro'...
The Jusenkyo Tour Guide's train of thought was broken however as he heard three people screaming, which was followed shortly by a sneeze.
The Jusenkyo Tour Guide watched what was going on with awe. An elderly wererat, who looked like he had some sort of cold, was using his magic to levitate three wererats above a spring which had yet to be cursed.
*ACHOO* "You boneheads..." *SNURK* "Have..." *ACHOO* "Caused be grief for the last time!" Gothwrain then took a handkerchief to his nose and blew into it.
"But sir, it was just a &$%in' common mistake! Ain't no &#$%in' reason to get your *&#in' boxers in a bunch Lord High Elder Gothwrain!" Lionel McKraken said.
"Yo, like, be quiet Lionel!" A female wererat named Monica Riche said. "He's like, really angry this time u' know!"
"We're doomed..." The second female wererat named Juliet Ellis said. "Doomed, doomed, doomed..."
"WILL YOU THREE SHUT UP!?" *ACHOO* Gothwrain sneezed again.
*SNURK* "You three released that mutated cold virus in my lab. You fools, it was to be used to kill off the werecats!" Gothwrain then wiped his runny, puffy eyes. *ACHOO*
"So, you lost that $#%in' special virus, I mean, BIG #$%IN' DEAL SIR! YOU CAN MAKE ANOTHER!" Lionel insisted.
"I kno-CHOO!" Gothwrain sneezed. *SNURK* "but the point is this is about the forteenth time in the past three days that yo-CHOO!!" *SNURK* "That you three have botched up my work. IT MUST END!"
And with that, the three wererats screamed as Gothwrain's magic pushed them down into the spring...
"$#%#%$&#^*&%#$%#$$##!!!" Lionel kept on swearing as he went down.
(---END FLASHBACK---)
"Yes. Very tragic story..." The Jusenkyo Tour Guide said.
Chapter 8
Gina finds out... [Episode 4052] by Bolt Crank (who thinks the New Tomboy thread needs new posts)Gina Recieves a Message her Father and Brit sent to the college before they left. "HUH!? ANOTHER WERECHEETAH!?"
"Ms. Diggers, please be quiet! Other's a still taking the test."
Gina blushed, somewhat embarrassed. "Sorry Professor..." But now, she thought, I have to get out of here so I can see this guy...
Chapter 9
Exploring Cursed Springs [Episode 4226] by Red Priest of the 17th OrderTheo frowned as he looked out into the valley below.
He felt his senses under 'attack' as energies from the cursed springs barraged his being with the residual magic they were casting off into the surrounding area.
Being an Aura Mage, he was sensitive to these sort of things.
"Incredible..." Was all Theo could think of as another wave of etheral energies went over him. Casting a low level Lecitation spell, Theo lowere himself down to the Valley.
He felt himself become dizzier as he was down in the valley. "There are so many magical energies here, it's almost inconcievable."
He muttered quietly. Clearing his throat, he then cried out, "HELLO! IS ANYONE HERE?"
After amoment, Theo would have sworn he heard swearing coming from the hutt nearby. A moment later, the Jusenkyo Tour Guide came out. "Boy, we really getting lots of visitors today..."
"Excuse me," Theo began, having cast the Translation Spell earlier, he had no problems communicating. "Do you know where I can find the 'Spring of Drowned Werecheetah'?"
"Yes sir." The Jusenkyo Tour Guide said.
"Waruchitanichuuan can be found over there between those four springs over there." The Jusenkyo Tour Guide pointed and spoke,
"Waruokaminichuuan; 'Spring of Drowned Werewolf', Kenshitoranichuuan; 'Spring of Drowned Sabretooth Tiger', Uchujin Shinaumahitonichuuan; 'Spring of Drowned Alien Skunk Person', and Nekoshojonichuuan; 'Spring of Drowned Catgirl'."
Then, as an afterthought, the Jusenkyo Tour Guide added, "And all have very tragic story."
"Oh... Kay..." Theo said. He walked over to the area of springs that the Jusenkyo Tour Guide pointed out. He blinked once, then twice, as he realized that the Spring of Drowned Werecheetah was now..."
"AIYAH!!! WARUCHITANICHUUAN NOW BLOCK OF CONCRETE! HOW THAT HAPPEN!?" The Jusenkyo Tour Guide asked in genuine shock as he looked past Theo towards where the spring should be.
Narrowing his eyes, Theo knew who's work this had to have been... "Gothwrain..." Theo muttered quietly.
Theo sighed in defeat. The one last chance to have brought back the werecheetah race, and it's been destroyed.
"No..." Theo thought to himself. "This asn't the last chance. One other had appeared because of this spring. It's possibly that he and Britanny..." Theo then smiled. There was still one chance of the werecheetah race coming back from extinction.
(A/N: Yes, Uchujin Shinaumahitonichuuan; 'Spring of Drowned Alien Skunk Person' is a nod to the Salusian Race and Ben Dunn's series, 'Ninja High School'.)
