Chapter 33 – Grass Plain Battle!
A hawk flew over a meadow covered with flowers in search for some prey. A sudden wind picked up sending a cloud of pollen into the air. Keeping its eyes on the ground below the field of flowers for any movement the hawk finally found a field mouse darting through the tall flowers. Hovering in mid flight the hawk flew upward getting ready for a nose dive at the mouse down below. Then something larger then itself pass under it making it break away as it flew off spook from seeing a one wing figure that reminded it of those females that walk on two legs as well as some that fly as it kind can.
Ranma rolled as he reached the ground coming to a rest flat on his back. He didn't know how long he rested on his back recovering from his battle with those sky pirates. He decied to rest a bit as this meadow was the only place where he didn't need to fear an incoming attack from any of Top's servants.
Reaching into his sub space he pulled out one of the potions that Kodachi and Mio had mixed up using the herbs that they grew in the greenhouse. According to them this blue liquid potion inside of a small glass tube would heal both his body as well as restore both his magic and ki reserves. Drinking it down Ranma started to feel it starting to work it's magic on him. The bruises and cuts that he had received during his fights healed quickly. The potion also began restoring his reserves and now he just had to rest his mind to who he's going to be fighting next.
"Rest a bit and then it's off to my next battle," Ranma said to himself as he lay back enjoying the little breather he has.

Beyond the meadow a few minutes ago –
In the tall grass that grew across the small stream that separated the meadow from the tall grass. A stalker was closing on its prey using the tall grass to hide it from view. Cool wind sweep the grasses stroked his skin reminding the stalker to remain downwind from its prey.
The elks in the tall grass before the stalker raised their heads, ears flicking and jaws working as they glanced around, a few raising dripping muzzles from the little stream that ran through it. They were big reddish-brown beasts like scaled-up deer, with a pale yellowish patch on the rump and small white tails. The males had shed their antlers awhile ago it was late spring now but they were bigger, with shaggy chestnut-brown hair on their necks like a short mane.
'About thirty of them,' the stalker thought to itself.
No old bulls, it was too early in the season for them to stake out breeding territories, this spring. A round dozen cows with calves, some of them newborns, none more than a mouth or two, coming around to butt at their dam's udders or frolicking clumsily. And the ones that the stalker was interested in, adolescents of a year or two.
Seeing movement to its left the stalker saw that the others in its hunter party were setting up their places. They would take down as many of the young ones as they could catch. They spread out so that they'll be able to run at the elks from all directions while staying down wind of them. They were about to spring into action when there was a loud booming sound coming from the hills from the south. Causing the spooked elks to start running northward away from where the loud sound came from where the stalker and her party of eight were waiting.
Seeing the elks running at them the hunting party acted quickly. As the panic herd of elks ran pass each one of the hunting party sprang at one of the young elk as they ran pass their positions. Eight furred figures leap out of the tall grasses and fell on the backs of the young calves going for the throat of the fleeing elks. Using knives or some of the stronger ones used their claws and fangs on their prey. When the last of the claves fell to the ground the eight figures rose up from their fallen prey reaching their full height the shortest one of them stood just below six feet.
The hunters are all females each fit and lithely muscled, the elk-skin loin-cloths scarcely concealing the trim muscles of their shapely thighs. Halter tops barely held in check the ample amount of furry assets of the huntresses. Long tails twisted around and ears flickered back and forth as they tried to figure out where that loud booming sound came from. But it did help them in catching eight elks instead of two or four as the elks had all ran in different directions when that booming sound struck scaring them making them easy prey for the hunters waiting in the tall grasses.
The leader of the hunting party waved to her party before stabbing her knife into the ground, then wiping it on a handful of grass and carefully again on the hem of her halter top before resheathing it. You had to be careful about that; if blood got under the tang it could start rusting pretty fast and then snap on you at an awkward moment. As she turned she was blinded for a moment by the sun rising over the grassy hills beyond the stream. When her eyes adjusted to the light she saw the village mage stepping out of a portal.
She was dress in a long robe with a long slit on the right and left side of the long skirt. She held a staff that's in the shape of a key. She was a tall, stunning woman with long green hair who radiated a powerful presence which could be very intimidating, an aura of experience and total unflappability. Well that's until she's face-to-face with Top who makes her sweat under her all knowing stare.
"Setsuna what was that noise just now?" the leader of the hunting party asks. The leader of the party is a young blond blue-eyed female werelion named Usagi. She has an unusual hairstyle as it was made up of two long ponytails with buns made on the sides of her head. (1)
Behind Usagi the others of the hunting party were grabbing up their kills. Makoto, an exceptionally tall and buxom brown-haired werecheetah with spotted golden fur. Easily lifted the dead calve onto her shoulders. Besides her is Ami a short snow leopard who has short blue hair while the rest of her body is covered with black spotted white fur. She's having trouble in lifting her kill up so she decided to just go and drag it instead.
Minako, a sleek long haired blonde jaguar was dragging her kill over to her friends. Along side with her is Rei a long dark haired leopard both of whom are easily lifting their kills with them, "Hey Setsuna go and open a portal to the village so we don't have to carry these all of the way back."
"What am, I a taxi service here?" Setsuna asks her right eye twitching and her tail standing up.
"Well you really don't do any real work around here," a tomboyish short haired blond cougar said. She could be mistaken as a guy if one didn't look down at her chest that is. She carried her kill on one shoulder and on her back is a long sword.
"Yeah what do you do anyways?" an aqua green long haired ocelot said as she also carried her kill on one shoulder as well. Both of them are helping the shortest and the youngest member of the party a short dark haired panther who's carrying a long glaive.
"What do you do besides making potions and learning magic?" the young black panther asks.
"Michiru, Haruka, Hotaru…" Setsuna muttered as a dark aura covered her body.
"Yeah but she is just a lazy weretiger anyways," Minako said.
"Yeah you can't expect her to be a hunter like us," Rei agreed with her friend.
"Well you girls stop!" the older weretiger shouted making all of the hunters pay attention to the older werecat, "Mistress Top has given us an assignment along with the rest of the tribe. Ranma has just beaten Sky Queen along with her pirate crew and sent the Grandir, that top of the line Battle Class Zeppelin crashing down to earth. I already given the messaged to the others and they're heading for him. As for you guys since we're the closest to him now it's our job to lure Ranma to the ambush point where the others will be waiting for us."
"What about our kills?" Usagi asks.
"Fine," she said as she opened up a portal opening into a storage room with frozen meats in it, "Throw them into the freezer and we'll cut and clear them later."
"Thanks," Ami said as she and the others quickly threw their catch into the portal before Setsuna closed it.
"Alright now we need to be careful we maybe stronger then Sky Queen and her crew but Ranma has already gotten pass La Noon before he fought against the sky pirates," she told them.
"Wow he must be strong," Makoto said as she knew how strong La Noon is.
"Yes so that's why we must get Ranma to head to the ambush point before he gets too far away from the others. You eight go to apple rock and wait till Ranma shows up then attack him. Try to lead him to the ambush sight, I'll join you as soon as, I can get over there."
"Sure you get the easy part where you show up when we're about to lose to him so that you'll look good," Rei said staring at the older cat.
"Just do it," she said before opening another portal and step into it.
"Well come on girls lets just get this over with," Usagi said as they all knew that Setsuna always manage to go and get them to do what she asks.

In a grove of trees next to a large pond in the middle of the grass plain –
A large village of tents as well as tree houses built on the trees surrounding the pond one of the few water sources found in the grassland area. The tents are made out of animal hides of the game that thrives in the vast plains surrounding the village. In the largest and oldest tree in the village built on top of it was the meeting hall and the temple were the leaders of the village met together.
Setsuna appeared in the room along with the other four leaders of the tribe. All of them been chosen by Top Hat as they each been given five power gems that gave them different powers. Kiyone a leopard who was place on the counsel was that she's a hard worker. She's stunningly beautiful and has long teal hair, with an orange bandanna on her forehead. Then there was Mihoshi a gorgeous dark tanned colored furred blonde housecat girl leaning back on a padded chair fiddling with a puzzle cube. She is a dizt who likes to sleep a lot and really doesn't do any useful but she does have very good luck on her side that lets her get by most of the trouble that she fines herself in. The reason why Top put her on the seat was because it would make sure that they wouldn't go and become all high and mighty. Especially after Mihoshi went and spilled all of that purple paint all over the others in front of the entire tribe at that last party. And was now snoring away with her head down on the long table in the room. Both of them wore the same kind of outfit of a dark blue dyed leather shirt and shorts.
On the other side of the table is a very cat like woman named Aisha. She has dark brown fur with spiky yellow hair. She's the tallest of the cats inside the room and the most muscular. Peeking out of her spiky hair are two long cats ears and her tail has a fluff of yellow fur on it that looks like a male lions she even has a tail ring on it. Looking at her chest area it was pretty clear that she had a lot of room to gloat with. She's a mixer of a weight lifter with a super model as she's very muscular but has assets that put most women to shame. She wore leather vest and shorts and a collar with a bell around her neck. She's the best fighter out of the five and also very short temper as well.
Then there was Felicia who does shows now and then with her part of the tribe and kept herself in prime condition for her shows. When they travel outside of the realm of their mistress Top they dress up as a cat circus. Most people on other worlds believed that her form along with the rest of the circus group all females were just some fancy cat costumes instead of their true bodies. And what bodies they are! Felicia has curves that most supermodels would die for and the way that her private areas were covered by white fur; it looked as if she was wearing a very skimpy furred covered bikini with a tail. Her ample breasts had some stripes of white, which just barely kept within the realms of modesty. Her nether regions were also scantily furred and Setsuna had to force herself not to look up her tail so she wouldn't lose control over herself again. As they didn't need this meeting to turn into an orgy again not that anyone really minded. Her face was heart-shaped, with green eyes tilted up like a cat's. On the sides of her head were bands of fur that made it look like she was wearing a kerchief. Near the top of her head, a pair of pointed ears sprouted out, complementing her appearance. All of the girls in her circus act were just as built and just a skimpy furred as their leader.
"So are those girls of yours going after Ranma Suna?" Aisha asks using the nickname that she has given her.
"How many times do, I have to tell you not to call me Suna?" Setsuna growled at the smirking cat woman who knows that nickname bugs the hell out of her.
"So are they?" Felicia asks grinning at the streaming mage cat.
"Yes how about your ends?"
"I got my units all ready at the ambush point," Aisha said.
"Mine too," Felicia said.
"I got mine and…" Kiyone said glaring at the sleeping werecat next to her, "This dolts units as well. Why Top put Mihoshi on this table, I never know."
"Simple so that you guys won't be all high and mightily," Top Hat said appearing on the viewing globe on one end of the table.
"Hi mistress," the ones that are awake greeted their boss.
"So is everyone getting their girls in their places?"
"Yes even if, I had to do this dolt as well," Kiyone said as Mihoshi snoring besides her. She grabs some paper then rolled it up and smacked the sleeping blond on her head waking her up.
Mihoshi shook her head as she was woken up then she saw who it was on the viewing globe, "Hi Top how's it going?"
"It's been fine so you have been sleeping in again?" Top asks the sleepy head leader of one of the cat tribes working for her.
"Hee hee kind of," Mihoshi said before planting her head down again and going back to sleep.
Kiyone growled as she wrack her partner again, "Don't fall back asleep again you dolt!"
"I'm up, I'm up!' she shouted as she rub the spot where she had hit her.
"Well my girls should be on Ranma anytime now," Setsuna said, "With their training they should get Ranma to retreat to the ambush point."
"Oh really pretty sure about yourself aren't you," Top said eyeing the Setsuna werecat counterpart who was never a sailor scout but still a powerful magic user, "Be careful or you end up just like your sailor counterparts too arrogant and high and mighty. That's why only you and Kiyone are the serious ones here or you'll be all too uptight."
"How about you boss?" Aisha asks.
"Well, I have my siblings to take me down a peg," Top sighed as her brother Mad always play pranks on her anytime he gets a chance too.
"Well, I guess it's time for us too move on out and join our units," Felicia said as she got up leaving the room.
"Yeah let's go," Aisha said wanting to know how well she would stand up to Ranma in a fight.
"Come on lets go," Kiyone said as she drag Mihoshi behind her who's whining about not wanting to go and fight against Ranma and all that.
"Well better see how the girls are doing with Ranma," Setsuna said as she teleported away.

A few moments ago –
After waking from his quick nap Ranma went off into the tall grass plains that were just beyond the creek separating the meadow for the plains. What Ranma saw in front of him wasn't terribly reassuring in the tall grass after traveling through the plains a few miles. He was surrounded by at about eight vague, man-sized shapes, lurking in the tall grass, eyes reflecting a feral look like that of a cat's all different kinds of colors. As they slowly stalked forward, into his line of sight, Ranma realized that they're catgirls like in some of the animes he have seen. These, however, were not exactly what he had expected. They were all females that look very much like the girls in that Sailor Moon anime show.
But there's a grace in these wild werebeasts that their human counterparts can only aspire too. Their purity of movement and singleness of intent, the focused intelligence gleaming in their slitted animal eyes, the grace of the hunter and the hunted, unsullied by the greed and desires that foul the human soul. And that Sailor Moon werelion didn't trip as she walks into plain sight.
These creatures embodied that simple and pure splendor, combined with the sensual beauty of the most self-assured human woman. They were lean, muscular creatures, sporting fine pelts ranging from the different kinds of cats they are and long lashing cat tails. Their eyes gleamed, fixing him with intense stares that hovered between curiosity and hostility, staring from short-muzzled, furred faces and saber-fangs peeking out from their lips. And, they were nearly naked, dress in skins of animals made into loin-cloths and halter tops. Also they're decorated only with a few oddments such as bracelets, earrings, and leather bindings around ankles, forearms or tails.
The eight werecats that look like the Sailor Moon girls approached Ranma in a circle, eyes still locked onto him. They wove back and forth like the great cats that they were descended from, cautiously advancing a step, then retreating, and advancing again. Ranma began to notice individual differences besides that they're different kinds of cats that is. The leader of the group of eight was nothing like the Sailor Moon magical girl, Usagi as she's much tougher looking and from the feeling he's getting from her she's a good fighter. She's armed with a large hunting knife place on her lower back.
There was the tallest one that looks like Sailor Jupiter, Makoto is the strongest looking one and the bustiest one of the bunch. A tall werecheetah she walks lightly on her feet as if she would spring into action at any moment. She wielded two hatchets both in her hands she smiled as she sized him up.
The Sailor Mars, Rei the wereleopard is very hot looking as she smirked at him. He could see something burning in her eyes as she stared at him. She's armed with two short hunting spears Ranma had heard of fighters who use two spears in fights but he never seen someone used that kind of fighting style before.
Sailor Venus, Minako the werejaguar wasn't that air-head party he had seen in the anime. She's like Moon was more muscular and more well built then the high school girl in the show. She's armed with a lasso and a hunting knife making him wonder how she would use those weapons.
Sailor Mercury, Ami the were-snow leopard look to be the smartest of the group but wasn't that shy girl in the show. She wasn't that muscular as the others were but she had a fine swimmer built and she stared at him with a questioning but lustful look in her eyes as she looks him over. She was armed with a rapid firing crossbow the clip rested on top when it fired and the string pulled back the next arrow would fall into place ready to firer next. And like the arrows that he seen in the forest elf village the arrowheads are large colorful balls that would act like a strong punch instead of punching into him.
Sailor Uranus, Haruka the werecougar has a fiery look in her eyes that reminded him of the tomboy back in his homeworld. She was very much like her counterpart in the show as she looks very much like a guy and was flat chested. She's armed with a long sword just like in the anime show.
Sailor Neptune, Michiru the wereocelot has a calm look and feel around her as she stared at him. She has a graceful look to her as she has a gymnast body like Kodachi meaning that she would be very fast and hard to hit. She's armed with a thick and wide bladed dagger that would be very useful in a close quarter fight.
Then there was the youngest of the party Sailor Saturn, Hotaru a were-black panther who, was much more healthy looking them her anime counterpart. Looking at her Ranma saw that she's just a beginner in fighting but he shouldn't take her lightly as he has no idea what she can do yet. She carried a glaive like the one her anime counterpart has in the show.
"Wow you're a stud!" Usagi said staring at him with stars in her eyes licking her lips.
"We're going to have fun with you," Minako said licking her chops.
"Yup he's sure is," Makoto said as she grind the edges of her hatches together.
"So Haruka up to seeing what it's like with a guy?" Michiru asks smiling wickedly.
"Hmm why not, I'm game," she said to her lover sharing the same smile.
"We heard you can transform into a weretiger how about making us purr?" Rei asks.
"What are you guys talking about?" Hotaru asks the older werecats.
"Wait till you're older to understand," Ami blush the younger catgirl look at her wondering what the older catgirl meant by that.
"I can tell that you girls won't be easy," Ranma said resting his hand on his sword hilt. These girls wouldn't be those magical girls on the tv show. They're older and stronger then they are and know how to handle themselves in a fight.
"Nope we won't," Usagi said as she motions the others to attack.
Minako whip out her lasso snagging his sword pulling it from his belt. Grabbing his sword before it got away from him, Ranma pulled Minako lasso from her making her fall flat on her face. Then using the lasso as a whip warp it around Makoto as she ran at him if it wasn't for his Gale Rune he wouldn't have seen her coming. Using her momentum swung the werecheetah into Rei and Ami who were close together knocking them all back. Haruka and Michiru sprang into action as they attack him head on.
Ranma leap backwards as the two older werecats attack him as he made his way into the tall grass. Haruka knew how to swing her sword as Ranma was force to block her attacks as she took him head on. Michiru on the other hand darted in and out attacking before jumping back into the tall grass. She would try to stab him as he was busy defending himself from her lovers attacks. They haven't been able to lay a hit on her yet as he's been learning from his past battles and wasn't going to let them get a hit in on him. He needs to knock them out before the others get to them or he'll be fighting all of them at once.
Blocking a power swing Ranma saw, Michiru coming at him again out from the tall grass. As she leap out Ranma gathered his chi into his free hand preparing to blast her out of the way his reserves may not be full yet but he still has enough to fight with. He was about to blast her when she suddenly rolled in midair to the side landing on all fours before running into the grass again.
'They can sense when, I'm powering up,' Ranma thought as Haruka continue to swing at him, 'I need to think of a better plan then this.'
As Haruka thrust at him, Ranma grab the backside of her sword his fingers holding the sides of the sword holding it tightly. Bringing his left leg up and struck the side of her face with a side sweeping kick. The blow was so strong that she twisted around as she fell to the ground. Michiru burst out of the grass behind him, Ranma just manage to block her dagger as she swung at him. As he faces his new attack, Ranma was grabbed from behind as Haruka got back up and went at his unprotected backside. With a quick kick Ranma kick Michiru away from him before she could attack him as well. Reaching back Ranma grab a hold of the catwoman on his back and toss her into her partner who was getting back up. Putting his hands together Ranma powered up an energyball and threw it at the two werecats blasting them into the tall grass away from him.
Out from the tall grass came a twang sound soon followed by a ball end arrow hitting Ranma on his shoulder knocking him back a step. A series of arrows flew at him making him shield his face with his sword as he began to run from the volley.
"Great the others are here," Ranma shouted to himself as he ran through the tall grass. The arrows continued to fly at him as he could hear them running after him.
Ranma felt a powerful blow to his back just before he fell to the ground. Rolling onto his feet Ranma saw, Makoto had freed herself from that lasso. She ran in and out swinging her hatchets at him as she zoomed by him. He powered up his Gale Rune, Ranma took off after her after she had ran by him again he had jump to the side as she swung at him.
"So you're fast too but let's see if you got staying power!" Makoto shouted back to him as she ran ahead of him.
"That won't matter!" Ranma said as he aimed his blaster at her running form not wanting to miss. When he got her in his sight he fired hitting her square on her back knocking her forward flat on her face.
"Why you!" she shouted leaping back onto her feet facing him, "Time for this kitty to show her claws!"
She ran at Ranma swinging her twin weapons in a cartwheel motion as she did. Ranma ran backwards swinging his sword trying to stop her attack but he couldn't stop her as she continued her attack. As he loses ground to her Ranma decided that he had enough of it and jumped straight up into the air letting out his wing as he did. He would just fly as high up as he could and then glide downward away from these werecats.
But before he could get high enough one of Ami's crossbow bolts struck his wing causing him to yell out in great pain. While his wing was stronger then it was before it still hurt when it was hit. Ranma fell to the ground hard his wing going back into his back as he did so it wouldn't get anymore damage.
Makoto can up from behind and grab him holding him up from underneath his arms. Ranma tried to break free but he couldn't break free from her grip. Then out from the tall grass Ami appeared aiming her crossbow at him going for a head shot to knock him out. Grounding his feet firmly down he bowed down lifting Makoto on top of him just as Ami let loose her crossbow bolt at him. The bolt hit but it was Makoto who was hit on her head instead of Ranma knocking her out as she was thrown back from the force. Ami fried more bolts at him as he came at her, Ranma block or dodge them. He put an end to her as he swung his sword breaking her crossbow and followed with a punch into her gut knocking the breath out of her and knocking her out of the fight.
Ranma took off not wanting to let the other werecats reach him. He quickly ran through the tall grass looking left and right scanning if there was any movement in the grass around him. Ranma was looking everywhere but downward as Hotaru trip him with her glaive sending him rolling along the ground as he fell.
"Got you know," Usagi said as she, Rei, Minako, and Hotaru as they surrounded him on four sides.
"Get him!" Minako shouted as she leaped at him followed by the others.
Ranma block her knife with his metal armguard as he blocks Usagi blades as well. He twisted around throwing them off of him Hotaru thrust her glaive making him leaned backwards as her weapon graze his hair as he duck. He grabbed her weapon and pulled it along with her throwing her into the air. Rei leap in front of him and began attacking him with her twin spears she twisted her spears around blocking his sword strikes at her as she force him back. She locks his sword with hers spears kicking him in his gut knocking him on his back.
Minako and Usagi fell onto his down form grabbing a hold of him. Ranma rolled as he tries to shake them off of him as they try to hold him down. Rei ran at the struggling trio twisting her spears backwards to use the end points like bats. She swung downward as she reach the trio but Ranma was ready for her as he brought the two werecats on him up over him and Rei ended up slamming her spears on their heads. He threw the two off of him, Ranma grab his sword and rolled as Rei stab at him. He leaped and slammed the flat side of his sword into the side of her head knocking her out.
"Girls, I…" Hotaru muttered as she got back to the fight and saw her friends all down. Tightening her grip she let out a war cry as she ran at Ranma her glaive pointing at him.
"Time to end this," Ranma said as he dodge her attack and grab her neck pressing the sleeping points on her as there's no way that he was going to touch her chest. He grabbed her as she began to fall and gently put her down as she snooze away.
"Well done, Ranma," a new voice said.
Turning Ranma saw the last member of the group Sailor Pluto a fully mature were-tigress. She was dress in a long robe with a long slit on the right and left side of the long skirt. She was a tall, stunning woman with long green hair who radiated a powerful presence which could be very intimidating, an aura of experience and total unflappability. She held a staff in the shape of a key just like in the show.
"Well, well if it isn't Setsuna. I been wondering where you were."
"So how you know my name?" she asks.
"Well all of these girls all look just like some characters in a manga, I read and, I figured that all of you would have the same names," Ranma smiled at her.
"Oh is that so?" she said, "You have gotten past my girls but now you're dealing with the big girls!"
"Big?" Ranma asks having a plan in his head in dealing with her, "Aren't you kind of flat to be called big?"
"What!" Setsuna shouted a dark aura forming around her. Ranma had just hit an area that she didn't like to think about as she wasn't that big in the chest area as most of the other women working for Top are but she did make it up with her skills but still she doesn't like anyone talking about that subject.
'Good she's mad,' Ranma thought to himself seeing his plan going as plan, "But an old lady like yourself shouldn't mind that you don't have a figure at your age."
"THAT'S IT!" she shouted her battle aura blazing pointing her staff at him, "Fireball!"
Ranma dodge the fire spell and the others that quickly followed as Setsuna fired one spell after another at him. His plan was working as the raging weretiger was getting madder and madder as she keeps on missing him. It was time for him to use another one of his grandmother's sword moves that's just like the Hiryu Shoten Ha but it could be aim at a target then being a mass attack move.
Ranma began spinning his sword in his hand like how La Noon did during their fight, "Spiral Raging Aura Strom!" (2)
A twisted shot out from the spinning sword aim at the spell caster. Setsuna was taken off guard as she tried to counter it was a spell but it was just got absorb in the twister adding to its power. She raised her arms in front of her as the twister hit her head on twisting her around draining of her energy as it toss her far into the tall grass.
"That was easier then, I thought but then again vanity is a major weakness for most women," Ranma said before he took off into the direction of the castle.

Back in Windia –
The girls are all glared at image Ranma on the screen. They couldn't believe that he just said that about women. Sure that they do take their looks strongly while it is a true fact but still. He shouldn't point it out like that.
"Kodachi," Chris said to her fellow co-fiancée.
"Yes?" she asks as a vein appeared on her forehead as she was streamed along with the other girls in the room.
"That idea of your of strapping, Ranma down to the bed."
"What of it?"
"Once he comes back let's do it."
"Fine with me," Kodachi grinned evilly thinking of all the things that she could do to, Ranma's muscular body along with the other girls in the room.

Back with Ranma –
"Choo," Ranma rub his nose as he ran, "Someone must be talking about me."
Then in front of Ranma a net suddenly appeared in front of him. He couldn't stop himself but acting quickly Ranma draw out his sword and slice the net in front of him in two. He stumbled as he broke through the net but regained his footing before he fell. Once he got his bearings back Ranma look around and didn't like what he saw.
All around him were dozens and dozens of werecats all around him there were more of them then the pirates that he had fought with earlier. There were all kinds of cats of every kind of hunting cats that he knows of and some that he doesn't all around him. They're all armed and look just as strong or stronger then the Sailor Moon group that he had face awhile ago.
"Well the trap didn't work but we got you," a blue haired werecat who has a really revealing fur coat that look more like a bikini then fur covered her bouncy body, "Names Felicia one of the five cat chiefs of the Meow Meow Tribe, the Acrobat Unit." Behind her were a large group of catgirls whose body fur covering are all very much like their leader showing off lot of their shapely bodies.
"I'm Aisha," the wild looking werecat with dark brown fur with spiky yellow hair and the strongest looking one as well. She looks very much like that catwoman on that show Outlaw Star, "Leader of the Saber Fang Unit." Behind her was a horde of very muscular looking catgirls but like their leader are very busty.
"I'm Kiyone," a leopard who's stunningly beautiful and has long teal hair, with an orange bandanna on her forehead. Ranma had a twitch in his left eye looking at her, "In charge of the Star Portal Unit." Behind her was a uniformed unit of catgirls all of them with their arms behind them waiting for an order form their leader.
"And, I'm Mihoshi," a gorgeous dark tanned colored furred blonde housecat? Ranma twitch got worse, "And, I'm… now what unit am, I in charge again?" The catgirls behind her all sweat drop seeing that their leader is acting like herself. They were uniformed like Kiyones group but it was easy too see that there was a layback attuned with the group unlike the other groups.
"You're in charge of the… I have no idea why… in charge of the Homer Unit," Kiyone growled.
"Homer Unit?" Ranma asks at that strange name.
"Yup Homer means doing something right without really trying to do it," Kiyone sigh as Mihoshi had named her unit after seeing that Simpson Episode. (3)
"Well then, I'll be going now."
"Alright see yah," Mihoshi wave him off.
"We're here to go and try to stop him!" Kiyone fumed.
"Oh yeah sorry!" Mihoshi said rubbing the back of her head before she turn to the werecats behind her, "Alright lets get him girls!"
Ranma was the first to react, his lifetime of combat training kicking in. He kicks Aisha in the stomach but was surprised at how solidly built she was. Still, she went reeling backwards and there was a shout from the werecats behind her as she was fell backwards on them. Then the situation suddenly turned chaotic. The next several minutes were all a blur for Ranma as he used his athletic body to dodge punches and kicks, while darting in and out to deliver punches and kicks of his own. He lost his sword early in the fight when Mishoshi trip and had grab onto it as she fell he would have grab it if it wasn't for the fact that the other catgirls weren't attacking him. He was astonished that his strongest blows did little significant harm to the Saber Fang girls that are leading the attacks and they were much faster than he would have thought, given their more massive frames to the other girls. They seemed to be all muscle and he knew that he could not let a single one of their punches land or he'll be in trouble as the other girls would dog pile on him. He did acrobatic flips through the air, legs spread wide as he leap-frogged over two catgirls who collided into one another.
"Someone grab him!" Kiyone shouted orders to her unit as they try to grab hold of the fast moving fighter as he fought off one werecat after another.
"I got him," Felicia said as she watches from the sidelines waiting for an opening four of her girls waited with her for their leader to make her move on him.
Aisha burst out of the mob of catgirls swinging her fist at Ranma. Remembering how hard her body is Ranma transformed his blaster and pointed his barrel at her. She could only stop herself as she stared at the blaster aimed at her and give out a yelp as she was blasted backwards into some of the girls behind her. Mihoshi did a tackled leap at Ranma while his back was turned but he twisted around letting her knock down the catgirls charging in front of him. Ranma began blasting them back as they charge and leap at him from all directions. He couldn't keep them back as the weight of numbers push them forward as they were about to mob him Ranma jump straight up into the air blasting at the catgirls jumping up at him.
"Got him now!" Felicia shouted as she leaped into the air and the four catgirls with her leap ahead of her.
Ranma saw them coming at him and began blasting at them as they dodge in midair. He kept on shooting knocking two of the girls down the other three followed right behind them. Then he realized what they were doing as the first four acted like as a shield so that their leader could grab him. He charge up his blaster for a charge shot and the three catgirls were blasted backwards as the charge shot blasted them back down. Then he felt someone grab a hold of him from his backside.
"Got you!" Kiyone shouted as she had taken the opportunity to get behind him and grab him while his back was turn.
Once they hit the ground the other catgirls quickly tackled Ranma's struggling form as Kiyone held onto his back. It was a feeding frenzy, and he was the chum. The fury in those cat-eyes was the same motivation as that of a pack of starving wolves. As they all knew that once they beat Ranma that they'll be able to get him to make up for all of the damage that he has done to them. And there was no way that they're going let this opportunity to pass them now as it was so close to them. Ranma was enveloped by a writhing cage of furry thighs, clutching clawed hands, and furry covered boobs that were press against his body as they held him down.
'This is bad,' Ranma thought to himself as he tries to break free from the catgirls covering him. Even his blaster couldn't help him as he couldn't blast without really hurting them he needed a way to break free from them. But he didn't see any chance to break free, there were too many of them surrounding him. Grabbing his limbs and pressing their furry bodies to his. They seemed to be picking him up...and..whoa, the catgirls were beneath him as well now! No longer content to allow him to lie on his back, they lifted him, so that now every surface of his skin was in contact with the furry bodies of the werecats.
All of the catgirls surrounding him was starting to take effect on him as his fears of cats was kicking in. He may not be that scared of cats anymore as he can transform into one now but still being surrounded by all of these catgirls was something else. Shampoo who was a werecat now was helping him with his uneasiness with cats at she had started to sleep with him and with her new sexy body cuddling up next to him he had to use all of his self control to stop the tomcat inside of him from taking the very willing she-cat laying next to him. And the fact that she wore very little as she doesn't like to cover her now furry body saying it bothers her. It's a good thing that Iris usually slept with him or he wouldn't be able to control himself. Then one of the gasping hands grab around his forehead till the hand found his limiter that held his beast form in check. Ranma screamed as he felt his werebeast form break free from its bonds.
The pile of werecats covering Ranma a scream began coming out of the pile that slowly turned into a wild animal roar. The pile of catgirls soared upward and then they were all thrown off of the person they were trying to submit to their wishes. Where Ranma had once stood was now an eight-foot-tall weretiger he has became taller, more muscular and covered in golden-orange fur with solid black stripes. His raven hair had turned orange-red while getting longer and spikier, the 'antenna' at the top dipping forwards while it got longer. His ponytail had come undone and transformed into a long mane of orange-red hair that reaches the middle of his back. His whole head had transformed into that of a tiger's head. A long and furry tail had pop out of the small of his back, his pants are loose enough to let it to move out from the waistband at the back. His frame contorted and bulged as his shirt became skintight as his clothes were made to be able to expand when he transforms as well as his armor as it acted like the ones on the tv show. (4) His body frame remained lean while it's taunt and muscular. His hands became huge and furry and his nails turned into claws that extended three inches from his fingers.
"Wow so that's his beast form," Felicia said looking him over.
"What a hunk," Aisha drooled at his body along with the other catwomen around her.
Kiyone was also staring at Ranma's new form drolling as well before she notices that Mihoshi was whimpering, "What's the matter with you?"
"I don't like the look in his eyes Kiyone," she whimpered as she hides behind her friends legs. Looking at Ranma's eyes they all could see the eyes of an enrage beast in them.
"Maybe we sho…" Aisha never got to finish as Ranma sprang upon them. Screams and cries of battle rang throughout the grass plains as Ranma tore through them.

In Leknaat tower –
The blind True Rune holder was sitting on a rather high pile of soft cushions as she watches Ranma tearing through the ranks of werecats. They were doing all they could do at fending him off but the only ones that were holding their ground were the Saber Fang units and their leader Aisha. The others were being toss aside as Ranma charge right through them he was just coming at them too fast and too much rage for them to put up much of a fight.
"Wow Ranma's weretiger form is really showing those catgirls who's the boss," Chaos said as he sat besides her, "Well after he's done he'll make it up to them."
"What you mean by that?" she ask the blue furred winged cat sitting next to her.
"Well weretiger Ranma isn't really trying to hurt them he's just showing who the dominant one in the pack. Since they were attacking him first his beast side thinks that the females are trying to dominant him show the only thing left to do is for him to beat them till the submit to him. And after that he'll go and have his way with the submitted she-cats."
"And he's fighting them like that for what exactly?"
"Well cats aren't known for their gentleness are they?"
"Good point but still he's really being rough on them," Leknaat said as she watched the fight.
"Yeah but some people like that kind of stuff," Chaos said before grinning at her, "Also why are you sitting on all of those cushions for anyways?"
The blind mage turned a shade of bright red, "That's none of your business!"
"She gave you the works didn't she," Chaos asks already knowing the answer to his question.
If it was even possible she turned an even deeper shade of red, "Let's just watch," she said turning her attention back to the globe paying no heed to the cat grinning at her.

Back at the battlefield –
Aisha was thrown backwards as she was batted away with a swing from weretiger Ranma. All around him are the fallen bodies of her tribeswomen who he had single handy taken down all of the people in her units and the other units as well. She was the only one left standing as the others were down and moaning in pain.
"Damn he's so strong," Aisha said breathing deeply as she tries to recover her strength. Ranma was knock backwards as Felicia and four of her catgirls pounce upon him all of them grabbing a hold of him trying to bring him down.
"He's too fast," Kiyone mumbled as she laid flat on her stomach laying right next to her was her partner, "How are you Mihoshi?"
"But, I don't want to go to school today," she mumbled as her eyes became swirling dots.
"Okay she's out of this fight," Kiyone sweatdrop.
Then a loud scream came that brought their attention back to the fight as Felicia was thrown off of Ranma. The other four catgirls were all quickly thrown off of him as well. Then he turned his full attention back to the four leaders of the pack and started towards them.
Weretiger Ranma looks around seeing that all of the she-cats were all beaten into submissions. He has proven to them that he's the new leader of this pack of cats that he's in charge now. And now it was time for him to go and show them the pleasure of being under him now. A sudden gash of wind alerted him to something coming at him. He turns around seeing something jumping on top of him and putting something around his head. Weretiger Ranma let out a roar as he transformed back into his human form.
"What happen?" Ranma said as he struggled to remain standing.
"Hee hee, oh nothing really just that your wereform went and got wild on these girls," the figure answered him, "And, I went and got your limiter back on you."
Ranma turned to the person that had stop him. It was a guy wearing a weird assortment of clothes that's made him look like a clown also with that face paint he's wearing. He also wore a green top hat with red bands running across it like a candy cane so which meant that he's part of the Hat family the only sibling that he hasn't met yet. He looks him over to see what he can read off of him so that he would have some idea of what's in store for him when they fight it out. There are two planks of wood strap down onto his back by two belts that were crisscrossing his chest under his tied up arms making an X shape on his back. And there were treads on each end of the planks connected to one of his limbs like a string puppet. His legs were warp with many belts almost hiding his legs completely from view making sure that the only way that he'll be able to move around was by hopping. How he got his limiter on him without using his arms or legs he has no idea. Other then that he couldn't read anything off of this guy in front of him.
"Name's Mad Hat the third oldest of the Hat's," he smiled, "I step on in once your other half had taken care of these catgirls. Besides you still have to save Thomas from my sisters servants before they take him you know."
"Yeah, I know," Ranma replied, "So after this, I'm going to go up against you?"
"Yup you better believed it, I hope that you'll be stronger when it our time to fight," he smiled.
"Don't worry, I will be."
"I know someone like you will continue to fight till there's no reason for you to fight anymore," he smiled as he tossed a bottle to him and how he did it without his arms or legs free Ranma couldn't figure out as his back was turn when he had toss it to him.
"What's this?" Ranma asks looking at the bottle he caught.
"Healing potion it will restore you to your full power for the castle fight up ahead. Just to make things fair."
"Thanks what about?"
"Oh don't worry, I take care of them so go on ahead and go and fight with my big sister."
"Thanks," Ranma said as he gulps down the drink then feeling it taking effect took off towards the castle just a few miles ahead of him now.
"Thanks for saving us," Aisha spoke up as Ranma disappeared into the distant. Mad had waves his head around calling forth a healing rain storm to heal them all.
"Yeah who knows what he might have done," Kiyone added feeling the rain healing her battered body.
"Actually he would have rip off all of your clothing off then have his way with you girls," he grinned seeing all of the catgirls eye's widen, "You see weretiger Ranma saw you girls all attacking him that you all were trying to dominant him so he fought back to show that he'll be the alpha male of the pack and won't be submitted by the females. He only fought like he did because you girls fought back. And afterwards when you are all submitted would take what's his namely mate with as many of you as he could before he tires himself out."
"You mean…" Mihoshi growled very much unlike her normal self.
"That we would have gotten to mate with a first class hunk werecat like that which many of us haven't seen for a very, very long time. If you hadn't gone and step on in on us!" Felicia growled as she herself hadn't been with a male werecat for a very long time.
"Yup be seeing you got something, I need to get done!" Mad said before he vanishes in thin air.

Back at Windia –
Cecile was fuming as she left Mind's lab, "Got to save Master Thomas!" she muttered to herself. The others were all busy watching Ranma fighting off those top heavy bimbos to care for her poor Master Thomas. Who is being held by those shameless oversex maids who are much more built then she is.
Looking down at her armored cover chest Cecile let out a long sigh. One of the reasons why she can stand being in a suit of armor all of the time was that she doesn't have a chest that's big enough to be bothered by the armor. Lady Chris on the other hand said earlier that wearing that armor really bothered her breasts and why she doesn't wear her complete suit that much around the castle only when she has a meeting or going outside for a patrol. And that she likes to wear something that shows off her body to Ranma when he's around also another reason why also.
"So you want to help out your master right?"
"What whose there?" Cecile said turning to the voice, "What it's you!"

Next Time – Ranma finally gets to Top's Castle for his show down with her. All that stands in his way are the busty, hot and spicy servants of the castle. Then there's someone waiting to face off with him before he gets to Top's chamber. And whose that person that Cecile saw? And also more importantly will, I ever get a new pre-reader? Next time in 'Castle Battle!'
Also none of you guys guess who those buffalo gals are base off of!
Author's Notes
1 – Well they had to appear in this fic at least once. How many of you guys didn't see that one coming?
2 – Feeds off of the battle aura and energy attacks of the opponent that it's aimed at.
3 – From that episode where Homer went and got his name in the dictionary.
4 – Vegeta's armor that he use to wear can expand to fit his giant ape form so Ranma's armor can also expand to fit his eight foot weretiger form.
