Just Normal Girls Chapter 8: The Dragon has no Balls "I will burn your carcass into dust!" Dragon Herb roared. "Well Ranma, I'd say we are totally effed." Natsuru said. "Yep, you got that right." "Evil dragon! You endanger the lives of these innocent students! In the name of the Moon, we will punish you!" Ranma and Natsuru turned to see four girls standing in a heroic Power Rangers pose. They all wore sailor fukus with ribbons over their breasts and the small of their backs. Though their faces, Ranma couldn't recognize, yet they seemed so similar. "I'd laugh, but then I would incinerate my throat. What can a couple of females do to stop Herb of the Musk Dynasty!" "Are you guys here to help?" Ranma asked. "That's our job, we fight for love and justice." Mercury said. "Alright, then let's just hammer this bitch until she falls." "I like the sound of that!" Jupiter said. Herb blew a blast of dark fire at the girls, Ranma and Natsuru jumped out of the way. Mercury, on the other hand, created a giant shield of ice blocking the fire. She held it up for a few seconds while the other Senshi ran out of the way. Finally the shield shattered, knocking Mercury back with multiple gashes and burns. Moon ran over to her friend as fast as she could. Herb swiped at them all with her colossal claws. Ranma and Natsuru jumped out the way and fired ki blasts and fireballs at the dragon's head. The Dragon laughed, "You fool! Why do you think this is my final attack! I can't be destroyed by the techniques you use! I'm going to end this now!" The Dragon blew more dark fire at the girls, directly at Venus. She was so scared, she couldn't move. Ranma ran as fast as she could. She jumped in front of the fire and took it full blast. Everyone heard the ear piercing scream that Ranma made as she took the burning for the girl in front of her. "Venus Love Me Chain!" Venus launched her chain out and wrapped it around the dragon's neck. The blonde put all her strength into pulling on the chain, strangling the dragon. Herb snatched the chain with her giant jaws, yanking it out of Venus' hands. At this point, Moon had healed Mercury and they both were running towards the dragon. "Shabon Spray!" Mercury yelled. She sent her magical mist at the dragon, preventing the monster from breathing fire. "Eat thunder you beast!" Jupiter yelled. She sent an electric shock through the dragon's body, which was extra powerful because of the mist in the air. During all of this, Natsuru was looking over her friend's body. There was no physical burn, but she was barely breathing from the impact. "Ranma, please speak to me." "Ngh...Nat...Natsu...kick...his...ass..." Natsuru's eyes at that point were burning with the same passion that Ranma felt when Haruhi was attacked by Ryoga. She nodded and slowly stood up to face the dragon opponent. With a mighty roar, Natsuru started breathing fire as an equivalent to Herb. "You hurt my friends, and now you're gonna die!" she yelled. "Is that so? Well, I'll destroy you next!" The dragon blew it's dark fire and the two jets of flame collided. The dark fire started inching towards the blue kampfer. Natsuru reacted by also shooting fire out of her hands. Haruhi got back to the fight at that point to see her girlfriend in a giant encounter with the dragon. She also saw the Sailor Senshi huddled around Ranma's body, whether she was dead or unconscious, she couldn't tell. "Natsuru! Please, you have to win! Please, I love you!" The words shot through Natsuru, and it created an enormous burst of fire that completely devoured the dark fire and burned into Herb's eyes. "Hey...someone end this...one o' you..." Natsuru said before falling over unconscious. "Moon Tiara Action!" Moon said. She chucked her Tron light disc, slicing the dragon's head off. The dragon faded from sight and Herb was lying on the ground, dead. Her white Kampfer bracelet exploded and fell to pieces. The Senshi all gathered around Ranma and Natsuru. "How are they Mercury?" Jupiter asked. "Blue here is just knocked out, probably from exerting all that energy. But red, she's doing really bad. Barely hanging on by a thread." "Can I heal her?" Moon asked. "It's possible. Give it a try with the crystal." Change of Scene Ranma woke and saw white all around her. She was feeling weightless. It was mostly due to the fact that she was sleeping in a bed, but it wasn't her bed, that much she could tell. She opened her eyes all the way and saw Shampoo looking down at her. "Airen! Shampoo so happy! Dragon bitch Herb almost kill you. If that happen-" "Don't say it Shampoo, I'm alive now, and that's all that matters." "What matters is that you saved me." came a voice from the corner of her hospital room. Ranma saw the girl with long blonde hair from her new class. "Well, that dragon was going to hurt everyone. I was just doing what was best." "No, I mean, you took that blast for me." "You mean, you were...?" "Yeah, I'm Sailor Venus." "Why are you letting me know who you are?" "Because you saved my life, I owe you at least that much. By the way, we haven't been introduced properly, I'm Minako Aino." "I remember. Are those other friends of yours Senshi too?" "I wanted you to figure it out on your own, but yes. How was your friend able to shoot all that fire?" "She's a Kampfer." "Umm...I don't really know what that is. I'll ask the others about it. By the way, they all wanna come in and thank you, if that's okay." "Yeah sure. You can go get 'em." Shampoo sat on Ranma's bed next to her, holding her hand while the girls all came in. Haruhi and Natsuru wrapped their arms around Ranma's neck, "Thank god you're okay." "You really had us worried buddy." "It's alright guys, I'm just sorry you all got mixed up in this. Herb is my problem, and seeing any of you hurt would just kill me." "It's okay Ranma, fighting for what's right is our job." Makoto said. "Aiyah, Airen don't look!" Shampoo said, covering the redhead's eyes. "Shampoo, what's wrong with you?" "Thing that scare Airen in the room." she said after looking towards Luna and Artemis. "Oh, you mean the cats?" "Airen not scared?" "It's weird, I feel like I should be, but I'm perfectly calm. I dunno why." "I think I can explain that." Ami said, "You see, when we healed you after you absorbed that blast, Usagi tried healing all your wounds. The strange thing is, it removed an excess amount of dark energy, more than you took in saving Minako. I think it may have removed your fear of cats, if it may have been triggered by a traumatizing event." "That's putting it mildly. It's one of the darkest moments of my life, but now...it feels far away...like something that happened to someone else. I feel better." Ranma grabbed the glass of water on her bedside and poured it over Shampoo. The tiny purple kitty climbed out of the pile of silk clothes that remained and jumped onto the bed. "Aww Shampoo, you're so cute like that." Ranma said, scratching the neko Shampoo behind the ears. "Umm...how did that happen?" Usagi asked. "It's Jusenkyo's curse." Ami said, opening the Mercury computer, "A series of pools that each have something different drowned there. Fall in one, and you take that form when splashed with cold water. Hot water reverses it, but there's no known cure, even with Silver Energy." "How do you know there's no cure?" Natsuru asked. "It's all on here. This computer has info on any subject in the known universe." "Let's get down to brass tasks people, we need to know what's going on." the black cat, Luna said. "Well, you know about other planets right?" Natsuru asked. "Yes that's correct." "What do you know about the proxy wars?" Luna sighed, "Ahh, now there's something that I can never forget. The planets Cyan and Crimson refused to join the Moon Empire until one of them fell and the other had taken over the other planets. I remember Serenity personally trying to have a meeting with the Moderators themselves. It was completely unsuccessful and resulted in an attack. Ever since then, the Moon Empire's Flagship had been a buffer between the two planets. Don't tell me the proxy wars are still going on." "I'm afraid so, I'm a Kampfer." "Ah yes, the Kampfer. They were all possible Senshi for the planets Cyan and Crimson. The only problem is that they're all forced to fight to the death." "So you're saying that I'm Sailor Cyan?" "You, or any other Blue Kampfer. It's an extreme possibility. As for Crimson, they never pinpointed their Senshi to the Red Kampfer, so it could just be a random girl." "Well, let's find out. Luna, spawn a henshin pen." Usagi said. The cat nodded and did a backflip. With a small spark of light, a pen fell into Natsuru's palm. "You gotta be kiddin' me. I'm a Kampfer AND a Senshi." "No, just a Senshi. You're far more powerful than you ever were as a Kampfer, and after seeing what you did just as that, I'm a little scared." Ami said. "You wanna give it a shot?" Makoto asked. Natsuru shrugged and held the pen up high, "Cyan Power Make Up!" The new Senshi stood before everyone, smiling at her new form. It was the same fuku that the other Inners wore. The bow on her chest and back were both Aqua with a small sky blue gem in the middle. Her tiara also had the same kind of gem in the forehead. "Eeeeh, a new Senshi!" Usagi squealed as she hugged Cyan. Haruhi got angry and tapped her on the shoulder. "Excuse me, that's MY girlfriend you're glomping," Usagi backed off as Haruhi embraced Cyan, "You look beautiful Natsuru." The two girls kissed which made all the Senshi's eyes bug out. Shampoo reached up and licked Ranma's nose with her tiny cat tongue. Change of Scene After everyone had left Ranma and Shampoo alone, Nodoka came in to see her. "Oh Ranma, I'm so glad you're safe. Every time I think you're the epitome of honorable, you show me that you can go above and beyond. You would sacrifice yourself to save a girl you don't even know. I love you so much!" she cried, burying Ranma's face into her cleavage. "mmmm mrff mmfff mmmrrrfffrrrff." Ranma tried to say. "I'm sorry honey? What was that?" "Where's Pops?" "Well..." Nodoka thought back to what happened when she heard about the fight between Ranma and Herb. Genma scowled and said, "The boy almost dies trying to save some pathetic girl? That's ridiculous. If that girl didn't know how to get out of the way, then she should've died." Nodoka slaped him in the face after that, "Genma, I've had it. You've dishonored my daughter and our family for the last time. Leave and never come back." "He's...he's not gonna be around anymore Ranma. He doesn't deserve someone like you for a child." "I...I don't know mom. He's a lying, cheating, stealing bastard, but he's still my father. He was all I had for ten years." "Yes, but now you have me, Shampoo, and all these friends of yours. All of whom would never hurt you for anything." "I guess you're right...can you take Shampoo back to our house?" she asked, lifting the purple kitty up. "Sure, I'll leave you to rest now dear." Change of Scene Natsuru and Haruhi met at the Senshi's meeting place. It was a Shinto Shrine that was run by Rei, their friend and Sailor Mars. "Alright Natsuru, let's see what you can do." Usagi said. "Cyan Power Make Up!" Natsuru transformed into her senshi form and the other girls all followed. "Okay, you know we all have attacks, right?" Makoto said. "Yeah." "Well, you should have one too. Just say or do the first thing that comes into your head." Natsuru focused and looked into her mind. What she found pleased her, a lot. "Nova BURST!" Natsuru shot a huge jet of blue fire out of her hands. "Natsu-chan, that was amazing!" Minako cheered. "You're a natural." Ami said. "And I thought Saturn was the powerhouse of our group." Usagi said. "There's other Senshi other than us?" Natsuru asked. "Of course, there's Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Didn't you ever take astrology?" Artemis said. "Well, now we have Cyan and whoever Crimson is." Rei said. "But, aren't there other moons?" Haruhi pointed out, everyone looked toward her in confusion. "Well, I mean, every planet in the solar system has a moon. Why is Earth's moon so special that only IT gets a Senshi? Shouldn't there be more Senshi out there?" "You know, I never thought of that. There actually might be a whole series of Senshi out there that we don't know about yet." Ami said. She immediately pulled out the computer and started a search. "Got it, you're right. According to this, there's one for every moon in the Milky Way. I wonder who they could all be." "I have a feeling it'll be someone we know." Natsuru said. "How do you know Natsu-chan?" Haruhi asked. "I just know, it's like a sixth...or maybe even a seventh sense." End of Chapter 8: I'm not sure who Sailor Crimson is gonna be. So give me who you think it should be. Boomwarrior13 OUT!
