Ranma Half Moon chapter 61, "Tokyo Death Match! Ranma-ko's hardest battle ever!" Part 4
Author's note: This episode happens during the Sailor Moon episode 31, "Loved and chased! Luna's worst day ever."
Author's Note: Space Pirate Strawberry, Parfait, and Chewy are non-cannon characters in a one of my previous fan fics, Yu Yu Hakusho Re Pure.
Author's Note: In Japan all comedians are supposed to use "Kansai" regional dialect. There is no real reason for this, it's just the way it is and it seems to work well.
A doctor enters Mio's hospital room. "Ah, the nurse told me that you were awake."
"How long was I out?" Mio speaks in English.
"You've been here for a week."
"This is horrible! I have singing engagements coming up!"
The Doctor sits down on the side of the bed. "Young lady, you've had a serious heart attack. If you try to exert yourself too soon, your heart is going to give out again. You should take it easy for at least six months." The doctor leaves to prevent Mio from arguing.
Mio gets her cell phone. My manager is going to be pretty disappointed.
Mio stops. Maybe Minako was saved somehow by her partner? The red-headed girl she met at the costume ball? Who was it? Oh yes, Saotome Ranma.
...
Parfait walks along a drainage ditch on the way to the pet store. What should I do about Rhett Butler? I'm sure that Strawberry will know what to do.
Suddenly Parfait feels a rumbling coming from the ground. An earthquake?
...
It takes all of Ranma's concentration and strength to keep both her and Minako from falling off the top of the fence.
Suddenly, a horrific sight distracts Minako and Ranma. Two cats plop out of a sewer runoff vent into the lane by the drainage ditch below them followed closely by nearly ten thousand rats!
"What the heck?"
A split second distraction is all Ranma-ko needs. A lighting fast strike to the back of Minako's neck knocks Minako out.
Still, so dangerously perched are they, that it takes over a minute for Ranma-ko to maneuver Minako's limp body safely back off of the fence of the bridge.
...
"Mars Power, Make Up!"
Parfait stares in wonder at the transformation. I had not noticed the girl before, but I can see her powerful aura now.
"Fire Soul!"
Parfait watches the mysterious girl throw a fireball at the army of rats. The fireball scares off the rats, leaving a mysterious human type guy.
"I am Sailor Mars, I have arrived ..."
Wow, the girl is taking forever and a day to make her battle introduction and that creepy guy is staring right at Rhett Butler.
Uh oh, that guy just used a black spirit crystal to extract another spirit crystal from inside of Rhett Butler while the girl is still prattling on with her speech. "This should be good."
What in the world? Rhett Butler transformed into a monster!
...
"Ho, ho, ho, ho. Not a lot of Sailor Warriors showed up this time. This crystal is definitely mine."
Suddenly a red rose hits Zoisite in the hand, stunning him and causing him to drop the crystal. Tuxedo Kamen swoops down and grabs the crystal. "I'll take this crystal. Goodbye."
Zoisite runs after Tuxedo Kamen, but to no avail.
...
Ranma-ko watches the action from a distance with interest. Well, now the other Sailor Warriors have a Crystal, I have a Crystal, Tuxedo Kamen has a Crystal and Zoisite has the rest. Maybe Zoisite will be busy with the other groups and give me time to better understand the one I have?
Ranma-ko picks up Minako's limp body and prepares to take her back to Minako's apartment.
...
The monster that Rhett Butler has turned into, not seeing his master Zoisite any more, wanders off to cause random chaos.
Suddenly, Luna blocks the monster's path. After trying to calm the monster down, Luna stumbles and starts falling down the embankment. The monster grabs her.
"Shabon Spray!"
But, before the monster can eat Luna, Sailor Mercury's attack distracts it.
Sailor Jupiter slides down the embankment and through the monster's legs to steal Luna away.
"Gee, why did you have to ruin the mood?" Rei has a sour look. "And, you guys are late!"
"It had nothing to do with Usagi playing video games when she should have been concentrating on the mission."
"Yeah, it had nothing to do with Usagi at all!"
Usagi glares at Ami and Makoto.
Luna explodes at them. "Now is not the time for stand up comedy!"
The monster, obviously unimpressed by their comedy (after all, they weren't even using Kansai dialect) wanders off again.
Luna has a fit when she sees the monster getting away. "Sailor Moon!"
"Right. Moon Healing Escalation!"
Rhett Butler refreshes.
...
"And, then the monster turned back into Rhett Butler and his aura was no longer evil! Can you believe that?"
Space Pirate Strawberry nods briefly then turns on Parfait. "No, that's the most unbelievable story you have ever told me!" I am starting to like my cat store prison. At least I don't have to listen to Parfait's tall tales all the time.
"Does my aura say that I am lying?"
"You're good with hiding your aura."
"Well, I'm going to break you out of that prison soon. Then you'll be able to see Rhett's new aura yourself."
Strawberry reluctantly smiles. "He could be a valuable ally."
...
Mamoru arrives home with the Rainbow Crystal. Suddenly the phone rings.
"Chiba residence."
"Mamoru, it's Rei-chan!"
"Sorry I missed your call earlier. I have been busy this weekend."
"The studying?"
"Yes. But, if you're available next weekend, that pastry shop sounds wonderful."
The end of Tokyo Death Match
Next up: Minako is restrained, but still not out of danger. What will Ranma-ko have to sacrifice to save her important friend?
