Ranma Half Moon chapter 60, "Tokyo Death Match! Ranma-ko's hardest battle ever!" Part 3
Author's note: This episode happens during the Sailor Moon episode 31, "Loved and chased! Luna's worst day ever."
Note: Space Pirate Strawberry, Parfait, and Chewy are non-cannon characters in a one of my previous fan fics, Yu Yu Hakusho Re Pure.
Mio Kuroki opens her eyes. For nearly a week, she had been in and out of sleep after her heart attack. Her eyes focus and she sees she is in a hospital bed.
Darn it! What could have protected Minako? All Minako had to do was commit suicide and her energy would have given Mio enough power to reincarnate Queen Metaria without the help of that bumbling moron Queen Beryl.
Mio fumes in anger.
...
Hino Rei walks around town, miserable. I am supposed to be on a date with Mamoru. Why do these stupid things happen to me?
"Miss Rei?"
Rei looks up to see Yuichiro. "Yuichiro? I guess we both have the day off."
"Maybe we could go for tea somewhere?"
Rei goes into coy mode. "Well, I am busy right now."
"Of course, a remarkable girl like you is always going to have something going on. Well, see you!" Yuichiro walks off.
Rei looks mortified. That's not how it was supposed to work.
...
Makoto looks out the window of the little girl's room. She is sleeping quietly, apparently not seriously hurt from Zoisite's attack.
Makoto looks at nothing in particular. She tries to block the image of Sailor Mercury flailing around in the alley out of her mind but cannot. But why? It's not that I have never seen another girl's bottom before. I see them every day in the showers after gym class, even Ami's! So, why am I so embarrassed?
Ami senses Makoto's uncomfortableness and it makes her nervous as well. Makoto has been such an asset in battle. Why was she losing her composure now?
Usagi ignores both of them because she sees the latest Sailor V game and starts playing it.
"Sailor V kick!" Usagi chuckles to herself.
...
"Sailor V kick!"
This is bad. I can't avoid all of Minako's offense. Artemis was correct about Minako being dangerous in combat. I hoped to knock out Minako quickly and take her back to Minako's apartment, but having to prevent Minako from jumping over the fence on the bridge forces me to expose myself to offensive moves that I normally would be be able to avoid.
"Thunder scream spike!"
Minako attacks with a downward chop from a high jump as if she was spiking a volleyball.
Ranma-ko avoids the move and ties up Minako's leg with her legs in a wrestling hold (leg lace). At least this maneuver buys me some time. But, unless something strange happens, I won't win this fight.
Minako pulls herself to the fence to gain leverage. She turns Ranma-ko enough to kick her.
Ranma-ko releases the hold.
"Dirt lover's dig!" Minako jumps to her feet and then dives at Ranma-ko as if she was trying to dig a spiked volley ball right before it touches the ground. The move hits Ranma-ko in the ribs.
"Time to end this." Minako climbs the seven foot high chain fence that lines both sides of the bridge.
However, before she can reach the top, Ranma-ko springs up and grabs a hold of her leg.
Minako kicks Ranma-ko off, but Ranma-ko bounces back and throws both her and Minako off the fence. Minako recovers first, but Ranma-ko ties up her arm in a wrestling hold (overhead wrist lock).
Minako maneuvers her body to get the proper angle to throw a chop. "Pinpoint precision serve!"
...
Oh, no! Because of my distraction over Makoto's discomfort, I have missed something huge.
"Sailor V Knee!"
Ami jumps up. "Usagi, your Crescent Moon Wand isn't blinking."
Ami's cry breaks Usagi's concentration with disastrous results. The screen shows "Game Over". "What about it?"
"That means that this girl is not the monster."
"But, it blinked before."
Suddenly, Makoto gets her head back into the game. "The cat!"
Ami nods. "That's why Zoisite broke off the attack. We must find that cat!"
...
Luna regains consciousness. Rhett Butler and her are inside of a sewer, having fallen through a manhole cover. "Are you okay?"
Rhett Butler comes to his senses and nods.
"This has been one strange day. Why do you keep trying to protect me?"
Rhett Butler says nothing.
"You don't have a crush on me or something?"
Rhett Butler blushes.
This was not the response I wanted.
Suddenly, Luna sees in the distance Zoisite running at them at full speed, and behind him is an army of rats!
"There you are, my final Rainbow Warrior!"
Shocked, Luna looks at Rhett Butler. "You have a Rainbow Crystal?"
...
Minako scales the fence only to have Ranma-ko grab her leg. Minako kicks Ranma-ko off and then jumps at Ranma-ko. "Destiny Hammer!" Minako connects with a knee to the head that staggers Ranma-ko.
Minako triumphantly scales the fence and gets one leg over. However, Ranma joins her by effortlessly scaling the fence in one leap. They face each other, sitting on the pole that frames the top of the fence. "I can't let you stop me!"
Minako and Ranma-ko grapple on the top of the fence. Ranma-ko realizes that she might also fall off the bridge.
Oh no, I won't be able to keep my balance up here forever!
