Chapter 27 – Set Pieces
"So the attack went well, I see," Anarchy said looking over the wagons full of the base supplies. The raiding party of Urukkins had entered the base bringing the spoils from their raid. The eleven wagons taken in the raid were pulled in by mules entered one of the loading docks of the underground base.
"Yes sir we took everything of value and took all of our dead as you told us to do," Ruk said as the mules were release and lead away by the workers to be use as beast of burden or as food for the growing army.
"And what should we do with the bodies?" Zest asks looking at the wagon containing the bodies of their dead.
"You workers strip them of their leather gear any that are in good shape place them into the armory and make sure that you put them in the washers first. As for the destroyed ones that can't be repaired throw them into the furnace," Anarchy said to a group of workers, "And for the bodies wheel them over to the Fossils pits they'll take care of the bodies."
The workers nodded as they wheeled out the wagon full of bodies. Zest stared at the wagon that held both hers and Ruk's dead troops smiling seeing that even in their death would help them in their fight. "And sir what about the loot from the base?"
"The valuables and choice of equipment is both of your units pick and the rest of the armor and weapons will be sent to the armory. As for the foods they'll be sent to the storehouses and, I'll get the cooks to throw your units a banquet for a job well done," Anarchy said.
"Thanks sir," Zest said to him.
"You guys earned it," Anarchy said before leaving the Urukkins to look over the wagons searching for the items that they want to keep for themselves.
"Boss the Mask Bishop is here with his group to talk about the plan for getting rid of Ranma," Starfire said appearing next to his side.
"Take them to the meeting hall and tell the others to be there too for their introductions," Anarchy said.
"As you say," Starfire said as she spread out her wings and took off into the base to spread the word to the other generals.

In the meeting room –
The Mask Bishop waited with Sarah, Albert and Yuber. The meeting room their in hang above the base overlooking Zomba's hanging lab. The sounds of the work being done on the cave floor rose to them as the workers were working nonstop getting the growing army ready for the upcoming battles ahead.
"This Anarchy that you met what did you feel coming from him," Albert asks as he's still trying to figure out what Anarchy is planning. He tried to read Zomba but it looks like he knew how to hide things from a Silverberg. He knows that both he and Anarchy are planning something but he still in the dark on what it is.
"When, I saw him I tried to get a feel of him but, I didn't feel anything coming from him," the Mask Bishop said, "All he said is that he'll help with the takeover with the Grasslands and gave us a green orb that he says that will handle Ranma. As for his payment all he said is that he wants a list of known True Rune Bearers that Harmonian keeps in the One Temple."
"He's planning something behind our backs," Sarah said.
"Yes but for now we need his help to fulfill my plan," the Mask Bishop said.
"As long as Ranma is around the chances of your plan working is small," Yuber said, "This Anarchy fellow has the means and the man power needed to rid Ranma for once and for all."
"Tell me about it," Spindrive said as he came in. His two metal drill tentacles wave in the air before he took one of the seats at the long table.
"Yes Ranma and his friends have been a bother for us for quite awhile now," Jestbomb said as she entered the room rubbing the smooth surface of his mace hand as she sat down and found herself across from Fangface who was gnawing at something that she recognized as coming from an animal with only two legs. He having came into the room from the other door.
"Anyone, I knew?" she asked staring at the thigh bone he's gnawing on.
"Those bodies that were wheeled in," growled Fangface as he gnawed on the leg bone.
"You guys eat your own?" Albert asks as he stared at the act of eating the dead. It took all it had in him to from keeping from showing his disgust in the act. He couldn't show any kind of weakness in front of people like them.
"You get use to it," Gasper said as he entered his hands made a metal grinding sound as he close and open them.
"Yeah right," said a small girl as she entered the room. She's wore a white jumpsuit that covered her entire body from neck up and down to her feet. Over that she wore a shoulder-less leather body armor colored a pale red. Metal arm guards and leg armor both pairs colored a solid red completed her look. A small, tight-fitting steel helmet covered her head only showing her green eyes through the eyeholes and the lower part of her mouth. What was weird was her choice of weapons a pair of giant sizes shields. Both of the shields are both covered with small spikes making them look like spike covered shells. They're attached to a harness on her back both of the shields if they were put together would look like they would form a ball. She held the two shields at her sides leather straps connected them to her arms and held them steady with leather handles with her arms crossover her chest gripping the handles. (1)
"Besides they're already dead what would they care happens to their bodies now," a large monster that looks like its cross between a bull and a bat said as it entered. It has the head and horns of a bull along with the body mass of one. But it has the wing arms and legs of a bat but more muscular limbs then what a bat would have. The only thing it wore was a green kilt around its waists.
"So what's the boss want with this meeting?" a bamboo size man said as he entered his long tail trailing behind him. He has short white fur all over its body that's looks wiry but they could tell was much stronger then it looks. Leather armor protected its body looking at it Yuber saw it was Custom Leather he has on which meant that he's very useful to Anarchy. Metal armguards equip with ax blades on the underside of them were on his long arms. A twin pair of long, knives are sheathed on his lower back that he would just have to reach back and pull them free. The handles are about eight inches long and the blades about sixteen-inches.
"Who knows," said something that's about the size of a man, with a slightly hunched forward posture and knees that were bent greatly as if he were about to leap at any moment. His features generally looked like a frog, including slight webbing between his toes and fingers equip with short brutal claws. While the Mask Bishops group found that its face to be extremely unusual, for it was a huge frog head and thus rather large in proportion to the rest of his body, something displayed in his large yellow frighten the people that look into them. It's wearing black shorts and has on a sleeveless dark color armor that's looks like light armor. On its back are some metal circler saw blades with handles inside of it for it to grab onto.
"He's planning something," an armored man said as he came in. He's covered with plate armor which was made to deliberately intend to intimidate his opponents. His bronze colored armor consisted of a chest plate made out of thick steel, a collar, pauldrons, vambraces, cuisses and greaves that made him very well protected at all fronts. Under the armor he was black clothes that contrasted with the color of his armor. He wore an undercut helmet was worn under over a headscarf and featured cheek and eye-guards that hid his face. Two long golden horns on top struck a distinctive and aggressive silhouette that could be recognized from a long way off. A long black cape hanged on his back a couple of inches off of the ground. A long double edge sword sheathed, in a black scabbard hang from his belt.
"He's always planning something," said Blight as he came in fully healed from his fight with Dark Hat.
"Sorry, I'm late," Anarchy said as he entered with Starfire in toll, "But had to see what Zomba is cooking up this time."
"So what's this meeting about?" the Mask Bishop asks after they were all seated along the table.
"Yes but first let me introduce you to the new generals," Anarchy said as he pointed to the young girl, "The young girl is Puppet, the one next to her the Bat-Bull is Noctoro, the bamboo is Sax, the frog is Leaper, and the man in the armor is Trojan. And you already know the rest of the people here. Ruk and Zest are with their units partying with the raid they pulled off. As for Zomba he's working in his lab on something."
"Adding more fighters to your ranks aren't you," Albert said seeing that all of them are powerful in their own rights.
"Yes and now for the reason for this meeting," Anarchy said, "Right now both the Grassland forces and Harmonian are now in a stand down mode right now. Each one setting up defenses or building up their forces for the next battle. The only action that been taken in this time was the raiding party of Urukkins that I sent out to see how well they would do. And it looks like my second operation went as plan as well." Anarchy looks with his single eye shown through his mask over to one of the doors as it open.
Stepping in was a figure dress in gray and white. A match set of gray colored clothes the figure wore under a white cloak. Because of the looseness of the clothes they couldn't tell what sex the figure is. They couldn't see the figures face because of the skintight white leather mask it wore. Breathing holes and a strange looking eye patch strap over the left eye were the only features on the mask. The eye patch has three lenses on it on a circular metal wheel that they could see could spin around switching from one lens to another.
"Everyone this is Range," Anarchy introduces the new person to everyone, "So how did the mission went?"
"That gunwoman Maria has been mortally wounded. When Ranma finds out from Nash that the bullet is the same kind that the Howling Voice Guild uses when Clive the current leader of the Guild comes to challenge Maria for the rights of using guns Ranma will be waiting for him. And Ranma will also be turning all of his attention to Harmonian letting us complete the plans," Range reported in a voice that didn't tell them what gender Range is.
"Good all according to the plan," Anarchy said, "You may take your leave now." Range nodded as he or she just seemed to fade away in front of them.
"So Range can make himself invisible," Yuber said his eyes watching something that only he could sense.
"Yes and now as, I was saying, I already know of your plan Mask Bishop," Anarchy said, "You're gathering all of the four another Element Runes so that you'll combined their powers to destroy that Rune on your right hand isn't that right Luc holder of the True Wind Rune, and the former apprentice of Leknaat holder of the Front Gate Rune."
"So you know who, I am," Luc said his eyes narrow beneath his mask.
"So you're that magician that blew away most of the Harmonian Army when, I was attacking Zelon Castle (2)," Blight said remembering seeing the damage that one person did to his forces.
"Yes Zomba knew who you were from the moment he saw you when Noclord brought you here. Besides he's the one that created the method that made you. In fact, I went and did my homework and found out a lot about you people," Anarchy explained turning to Sarah, "You Sarah was born in a small village in Harmonia, but your great magical powers as you possessed a Flowing Rune from birth caused you to be looked upon as a witch by the townsfolk. A Harmonian Priest heard the rumors and took you away to be raised in a shrine in Holy Harmonia. Eventually you Luc heard about the rumors and went to the shrine to see her. Sarah, still as a young girl, agreed to go with him, and so you lived with him and Leknaat at Leknaat's Magician's Tower for much of your older childhood. As for Albert you're helping Luc so that you can gain more power in that other country you're working with. And Yuber well it's hard to find information on you since you killed everyone that knew of your past and only Pesmerga is the only one left besides you that knows of your past."
"I see you did a good job on your information gathering," Yuber said as he had killed everyone that knew his past with the exception of Pesmerga.
"How did you found these things out?" Sarah asks as she and Luc had never told anyone about how they had met.
"Well let's say that, I have my ways," Anarchy said.
"So what's your plan?" Albert asks seeing that what he though before was true as Anarchy is much more then he seems. As he found out his underlining plan for this whole war and why he's helping Luc with his plans.
"Yes my plan is to gather not only the four other True Element Runes but also four other True Runes I already located the Sovereign Rune imbedded on Emperor Barbarossa sword, and the other half of the Gate Rune, the Front Gate Rune," Anarchy explained, "I help you in destroying your Rune first but after that, I'm going to go ahead with my plan." That woman that gave him that orb also gave him some information that she had let slide by as they made their arrangements with each other.
"You found where the Front Rune Gate and the Sovereign Rune both of them disappear after the Gate Rune War!" Luc said as he and Leknaat had search for those two runes after the battle. So that Leknaat could make the Gate Rune whole again but they never found the other half of the rune or Barbarossa sword.
"Yes, I found them and they will help with my plan. All, I need now besides the four other Element Runes is two more but, I already know where to look for one but the other one well its bearer hasn't been seen for 150 years," Anarchy said before turning to Yuber and Albert, "Yuber you been alive long enough to have heard of rumors and you Albert you being a Silverberg you have connections that you can pull. I need you two to find information on the whereabouts on all of the surviving members of the Strikes."
"What are you planning?" Albert asks wondering what he's up too.
"Well you see…" Anarchy began laying out his plans to the others at the table as they listen to his every word.

In Windia –
A soft moan alerted Ranma to the person laying on his bed. He's been at her side ever since they had brought her in. The bullet that Tuta took out of her Ranma knows that the only ones here that know how to make gun powder is the Howling Voice Guild. It looks like they made their first move to protect the secret of gun powder from leaking out. He already place Reni under heavy guard under Chris protection as well as Iris which the girls are taking care of.
"Maria you're awake," Ranma said as he grab her hand and holding it firmly in his.
"Ranma you're here what…" Maria began but then let out a moan of pain as she felt her left side string with pain.
"You were shot by one of the Howling Voice Guild members," Ranma said, "You been asleep for two days."
"I'm in your room?" Maria said sitting up as she looks around the room. Then she notice that it was kind of cold looking down she saw that the only things she had on her chest was bandages warp around her chest and a light open white shirt over it. And she could clearly see that the bandages didn't hide her bust plus they weren't warp around tight giving a clear view of the sizes of her breasts. And looking lower she only wore a pair of cloth shorts. Then she saw Ranma looking at her and she started blushing, "You didn't see me naked did you?"
"Well, I was in the room when Tuta and Mio removed your clothes to get the bullet out before I could heal you," Ranma told her, "Tuta said that you're going to need some bed rest till you're recovered. The place where you got shot will be sore for a couple of days till it heals."
"You've been with me since then?" Maria asks blushing as Ranma been seeing her at her weakest. But the Ranma grab her hugging her body to his she could feel her body molded with his as they embrace each other. Her soft yet firm body press tightly against his muscular body molding together. She inhaled deeply as she breathing in his scent as he did with hers. He left his wing out from his back letting his massive wing fold on top of her like a blanket. Maria knew why the other girls love rubbing their bodies in his feathers they were so soft to the touch softer then any kind of cloth she ever press her face into she could stay like this in his embrace forever.
He had gotten to know her scent like his other six fiancées over the last two days as he been by her side night and day. Ever since his transformation his sense of smell had been enhance like of an animal. He's been getting himself to recognize all of the scents of the people close to him so that when he lose control over himself again his beast form would know who they are.
"If Jefferson didn't get you here as fast as he did, I could have lost you," Ranma said his voice trembling at the thought.
Looking up Maria just smiled at him, "If, I died you would just bring me back."
"Yes, I would you're more then just a bodyguard to me," Ranma said as they lay on his bed facing each other in a lovers embrace.
"And that as nothing to do with the fact that, I have a bouncy body underneath all of the clothes that I wear has nothing to do with it?" Maria asks jokingly enjoying the way Ranma face began changing expressions and color as she press her ample assets into his chest.
"Maria come on don't do that," Ranma said as he got control over himself.
"Sorry but I see why the other girls love doing that it's so fun teasing you," Maria giggled very unlike the cold outer shell she shows everyone else then she got a playful look on her face, "So have you guess my bra sizes yet?"
"WHAT!" Ranma gasps as she just asks him that out of the blue. He began thinking about it and he's pretty sure she's around Chris sizes under Kasumi, Ranko and Tina's sizes and above Viki and Kodachi. Since he has gotten to know, every part of their supple firm bodies when they're making out.
"So, Chris is a D-cup like me," said Maria grinning at him.
"I said that part out loud didn't I?" Ranma said as he had done the old sticking his foot in his mouth again.
"Yeah but at least this time when you act like a pervert none of us girls would mind one bit. In fact thinking of you ripping off our clothes and having your way with our bodies wouldn't be that bad besides the moms of some of the girls would love it as they would have hordes of grandkids running underfoot," Maria smiled.
"Yeah they would they're all trying to get me to marry their daughters and give them lots of grandchildren for them to spoil," Ranma chuckled, "You know you're not acting like yourself."
"I know but since we're alone, I can show you a side that no one has seen before," Maria said in a low tone voice, "I never let people see this side of me before ever since my parents abandon me on the island. But with you Ranma, I can let myself go letting you see the woman underneath the mask I put on. With you, I can let myself be totally violable as I can't think of anyplace safer then in your arms."
Ranma was taken aback from her words he couldn't think of anything to say, "You really have fallen in love with me haven't you?"
Maria giggled, "Of course, I have just like every other girl that's close to you silly."
"So what you want to do now?" Ranma asks her as they have been staring into each others eyes all of that time.
"How about you give me the same kind of treatment that you have been giving to your fiancées when you sleep with them?" Maria asks.
"What?" Ranam said with a look on his face that made Maria giggled.
"Sure why not you have been sleeping with me all of this time and, I trust you to treat me gently letting you have your way with me," Maria said blushing as she couldn't believe what she just said. But the very thought of Ranma grabbing her and ripping her clothes off to get to her tender supple flesh underneath… While if she was ever going to let someone have complete control over her it would be with Ranma. Besides she had gotten a hold of the front and back snapshots of Ranma from Red Bean and Green Tea completely naked and from what she saw… Well the words 'buns of steel' and of Ranma living up to his name sake came to mind. She started pressing her body closer to his.
"I'm sorry but are we interrupting something here?" a voice that both of them knew came from Sumire. Turning they saw all along the bed were the other girls all of them looking pretty angry at what the two are doing. The group is made up of Maria's group, Ranma's fiancées with Chris missing as she's at Brass Castle with Reni and some of the other girls after Ranma. They were so into talking to each other that they didn't even sense them coming into the room.
"Maria the only reason you're not dead meat right now is that you're still recovering from that bullet wound," firmly stated Tina her eyes close and her right hand raising up in a tight close fist her knuckles cracking from the strain, "But trying to get Ranma to make love to you crosses the line."
"That's right sugar there's no way we're going to let you go and get Ranma do that to you!" Ukyo said gripping her giant spatula handled hard.
"Besides we tried everything short of just tying Ranma to the bed and having our way with him," Kodachi said be then put her finger on her chin thinking of what she just said and smiled like a fox, "Of course that does sound like fun."
"We were okay with you sleeping in the same bed as Ranma since he wants to keep you safe but now that you're better," Sumire said, "To make sure nothing happens with you two one of us is going to be sleeping with Ranma also to keep an eye on you."
"What you mean Shampoo been sleeping with Ranma and gun-girl," Shampoo said her tail swaying behind her.
"You been what?" all of the girls in the room said at the same time looking at the catgirl.
"Well Iris has been sleeping with Ranma and gun-girl for the last two days. So Shampoo joined them so that Iris would be safer with two people to look after her," Shampoo explained, "Besides Iris likes Shampoo-mama's furry body holding her to Shampoo's. She said that Shampoo fur is softer then any cat or kitten that she ever hold like sleeping with a living stuff animal."
"Alright that's it!" yelled Shizu who had made herself Ranma's 'personal' maid, "I sick of all of this! First it was the girls tying me up so that they could spend some time with you. Then you and you're fiancées sleeping together but at least Iris was sleeping with you then but now!" Shizu scream as she march to his bedside looking Ranma straight into his eyes, "If your fiancées and now those girls you pick up in the other world get to sleep with you then we all should too!" Shizu said keeping that she gets first dips out of her speech.
"Wait, I'm only sleeping with Maria to make sure she's safe," Ranma said as he waved her off.
"What you mean we have to be busty just to sleep with you!" Belle cried out as she could help that she takes after her mother in chest size.
"That's not fair so of us are late bloomers!" Sharon Y said as she knew from her mother's chest size that she'll be well gifted when she fully matures.
"Yeah besides me and Anne are well gifted and we haven't sleep with you yet!" Kathy growled.
"Well that's not all true," Anne said her head hanging low thinking of that night when she shared Ranma's bed.
"What you got to sleep with Ranma?" Kanna asks as she's has been wanting to do that for along time.
"Everyone please stop this!" Ranma shouted quieting the girls in the room, "If you girls keep on doing this then, I won't sleep with anyone but Iris or Rein till, I get married!"
"Ranma do you mean the rest of us girls aren't pretty enough to sleep besides you?" Shizu growled along with the other girls in the room that haven't slept with Ranm yet.
"RANMA!" Sakura said as her hand gripping the hilt of her sword as if that's the reason why he hasn't sleep with her was because of that! Well she and the other girls of her group besides Maria all shared the same thought that Ranma is going to be in a world of hurt if that's true.
'Oh man now, I gotten myself into a mess big time,' Ranma thought to himself as he look around the room as the castle girls and Sakura and the others of her group all have huge battle auras around them that are even making his five present fiancées back away from them. He's been in this kind of mess way too much to know that the girls are going to tear him apart. But maybe that he would have been better off with the first one…
'Oh Gods. Please, not the "adorable hurt puppy eyes with shining tears in them" routine! Anything but that!' Ranma thought to himself as he stared at the pervious fuming girls as they all go teary eyed on him. (3)
"Sniffle," the girls went as their lips began to tremble and eyes filled with tears ready to burst at any moment. Ranma decided that the Universe must hate him.
"Well, I guess that we can work something out," Ranko said as she sees that Ranma's going to give in to the girls with the looks that the girls now have on their faces was one of Ranma's weakness. Besides they have used it on him time to time to get him agree or do something they want. And she has the feeling that the arrangements in sleeping with Ranma with the glint that are in the girls tear free eyes now.
