New Tomboy

Part Thirteen

The Disclaimer is WAY back in the first two parts.

_______________________________________________________________________

From his lookout point, Daishi scooped out the NWC and Diggers group, especially checking out the Werecat, and the four Wererats as well. (A Were is a were...who's Pee-Wee to be picky?)

After using a small listening bug Peewee had given him, he had found out who was pregnant among the Weres, Britanny Diggers, the Werecheetah, the female Weretiger, and Jagwere, and the tomboyish Wererat who had a mallet-fetish. The Weretiger had no combat experience from what he gathered, easy pickings. The Wererat...some skill but mostly unfocused and easy to subdue. Britanny Diggers...if the opportunity arises capture her, but considering other attempts to kidnap her had failed badly... don't get your hopes up. The Jagwere...hmm that one Male Jagwere who sent the cursed guy flying was hanging around her lot...must be her Mate or something. And Daishi could feel a good sized aura off of him, it might not be wise to try and kidnap her...besides he didn't like the look of that Scimitar she pulled out when they beat up the old man.

"Hmmm, this may not be easy...it may even take more than my *shudder* brother and I to do this. I should tell Lord Talon to send Link, Zelda, and Ionis as well." Daishi murmured, as he kept watching from the other rooftop.

Daishi then blinked as he saw two VERY familiar African American people approach the Dojo, and ring the doorbell. "My, this is getting interesting, almost everyone associated with the Diggers has shown up."

Kasumi went to answer the door, and opened it, seeing two Black people. "Hello may I help you?"

Ace and Penny blinked, there were Werecats here in Japan? When they got to Japan and went to the Emporia hotel, the desk clerk said the Diggers were at someplace in Nerima called the Tendo Dojo, and since there was a Werecat here, and Weres tended to be around the Diggers, yep they found the right place! "Uh excuse me Miss, we're looking for some friends of ours, they go by the name Dig..."

"Diggers? Why yes, the Diggers and their friends are here, please come in Miss.?"

"Pincer, Penny Pincer."

"Name's Kevin Koss, but you can call me 'Ace' yo." Ace tipped his pilot's hat politely.

"Well please come in." Kasumi ushered them inside and took them to the main room.

"Penny, Ace? What're you two doing here?" Gina asked getting up from her spot.

"PEEEEEEEENNY!" Charlotte half-lunged at Penny giving her a hug. "Penny! I now know, what you meant with all that stork talk and everything!" Charlotte had a HUGE smile on her face as she spoke.

"Guh, huh wha?" Penny had multiple sweat drops on her head as she looked at Charlotte with a raised eye.

"Okaaaaaaay." Ace said with a large sweat-drop on his head.

Penny turned her head towards Gina. "Oh Giiiiiiina! Just what is Charlotte here talking about?"

"Penny, you WILL want to sit down for this."

(----)

Everything SEEMED to be going well at the party. People got beat up... Good food to be had... Lots of talking... People getting to know each other better... Overall, people had a good time.

However, two men got pulled aside for the moment. Ryan, who was enjoying a double bacon cheeseburger, got pulled up from one of the tables outside, and Thropan, who was trying to work up the nerve to ask Gina a question, hot pulled away by his ear.

Both young men found themselves deposited inside the dojo. Both gulped as they realized who the hell had just parked their butts right onto the Dojo floor.

Brunhildagard 'Mumsey' Brigand.

"Uh... Hello M, M, M, M, Mumsey..." Ryan stuttered a greeting.

Thropan nodded his head. "Mrs. Brigand... It's nice you took interest in us... Really..." Thropan said nervously; sweat pouring down his brow. "What can we do for you?" His voice cracked.

Mumsey leveled a glare at the two young men. "You boys... You might have been forgiven by the others, you have still yet to earn MY respect." Her eyes narrowed further. "I don't like the fact that you two 'gang-banged' my first granddaughter, my own flesh and blood!"

Ryan nodded his head. "Uh, look, Mumsey... We didn't mean to do that with Gina, really!"

Thropan nodded his head. "Y, yes. I do feel bad about what happened. If I could turn back the clock, I would have gotten out of that bar as soon as possible. You have to believe we had no control over what we did. And we're very sorry about what Gina has to go through now."

Mumsey leaned forward a bit, scaring the Werepanther. She looked him in the eyes, and asked dead serious, "And what would you do if her child is yours?"

Thropan had to take a moment to find his voice. "I... I would stick by her. If that child is mine, I will do my best to help raise the child... Be it either human or Werepanther."

Mumsey nodded her head, seemingly pleased with that answer. "Good." Turning her head to Ryan, she asked, "And what of you, Talbot?"

Ryan scratched his chin for a moment. "Gina is my girlfriend... Though it seems a bit early for me, I will marry her if that child is mine." Ryan than actually found the courage to smile. "I mean, hey, I've been dating her this long. There is chemistry between us, (on more than one level) and I believe we could make a relationship work if we really and honestly tried."

Mumsey nodded her head. They still weren't the best of men in her eyes... However, the two seemed to have some semblance of honor.

It was then that Ryan REALLY screwed things up for himself and Thropan. "At least you can look at it this way. Either way, Gina thoroughly enjoyed herself. I don't remember the last time I heard her moan so long and lengthily. She really, really enjoyed the treatment... And... I... You're going to kill me now, aren't you?"

Mumsey, who was radiating one hell of an aura just nodded her head, her eyes blazing like the fires of hell.

The others turned their heads at the sounds of screams coming from the dojo. Theo gave a silent prayer, as he knew how Mumsey could get.

After several minutes of painful screams, the two heavily battered men wobbled out.

"Well. I think that went well." Ryan said, and then stopped as he realized Thropan was growling next to him. Yep, he'd pulled a Ranma 'insert-foot-into-mouth' technique.

Thropan grabbed Ryan by the head and bashed him into a wall, and let the now unconscious martial artist hit the floor. After dusting off his hands he wobbled over to the table he was sitting at and plopped himself back into his spot beside Gina, and winced from sitting down too hard, as it upset the bruise on his posterior from the ass kicking he got.

"Jinkies...did Grammy rough you up too much Thropan?" Gina asked in concern, she knew her Grandmother could put some serious HURT on anybody.

"I'll be fine, Gina I think she went 'easy' on us, or I'd be sporting cuts and nicks from her sword." Thropan said slightly dismissively, but not unkindly. He then looked at her and gave half a smile. "Besides, I heal fast."

"Yeah I know, but. Well." Gina felt a small blush creep up onto her face, and she looked back at her food.

Thropan blinked lightly then sighed, internally yelling at himself to stop procrastinating. "Gina...?"

Upon hearing her name, Gina looked at Thropan. " Uh, yes, what is it Thropan?"

Putting down his fork, Thropan turned his head to face her gaze. "Gina, first I want to offer my SINCERIST apology to you for my actions the other night. Even though I was under the dust's influence as much as anyone else. I should have tried to resist harder. *Sigh* And yet with all my discipline training it feel short."

Gina placed a comforting hand on Thropan's shoulder. "Aw, Thropan, don't feel so bad. I mean... I DID enjoy it and all besides, it's those two assholes and that old pervert who're at fault. Not you or Ryan."

Thropan smiled lightly at her words, and placed a hand over hers on his shoulder. "Thank you Gina, and, I want to say that, well, if the child is mine, I promise I'll be there for you."

"Thropan..." Gina murmured, feeling her blush from before skyrocket turning her entire face a shade of deep red.

"WHAT!???"

This semi-sappy moment was however RUINED by Penny's outburst, as the Nubian woman pulled Gina into her eyesight.

"YOU'RE PREGNANT?! HOLY SHIT NOW I KNOW THE UNIVERSE HAS GONE MAD!"

"HEY I COULD BE A GOOD MOTHER!" She then blinked, "Hey how'd you find out?"

Penny pointed at Charlotte who smiled and waved.

"Oh."

"I think congrats are in order yo?" Ace said.

"Ehehe, thank you Ace..."

Penny rubbed her forehead. " Well...I never imagined this in a million years..."

"Hey, just because I like adventuring didn't mean I didn’t consider settling down." Gina protested.

"I'm amazed you can find a guy to settle down with." Penny retorted, but in a playful manner. She smirked at Thropan. "Hmm... Well at least between him and Ryan you got two hunks for prospective husbands."

"Oh knock it off Penny." Gina said, still blushing. Gina then blinked...did she...feel a kick in her womb? No, it can't be human babies take 8-weeks for their limbs to grow, but what about Werecats?

Gina thought about that for a moment. What was that? Did she really, REALLY without a doubt feel a small kick just then?

The second 'kick' after was more than enough. This... This just wasn't normal.

Sitting up from the table, she decided to consult a professional on the subject of female Werecats. No not her sister, as her sister Britanny didn't know squat, "SHEILA!"

Stopping her conversation with Ranma, Sheila looked over her shoulder. She saw Gina walking over to her. "What is it, Gina?"

Gina pulled Sheila aside. She wanted to talk to her in private. "Sheila... If I may I ask... How long is a Werecat's gestation period?"

Sheila blinked her eyes. Why would Gina want to know that? "Excuse me?"

"Please." Gina said. "This is VERY important."

Sheila wasn't sure why Gina was so nervous, but she felt that the information couldn't hurt. "Rule of thumb is six months, although it may vary with different species of Werecats, with some being from five to seven months, I believe it's six months." Then after a moment, Sheila asked, "So Gina... Why the sudden interest in Werecat pregnancy stuff?"

Sighing, Gina answered, "Sheila... I'd swear I felt the baby kick... But it's only two days!"

Sheila thoughtfully considered that for a moment. "Weird... Hmm..."

Gina watched Sheila, wondering what the small Werecat was thinking. "Sheila?"

Sheila then looked Gina in the eyes seriously. "Well Gina, unless there's a funky virus-thing going on with your stomach, or something else... You might be carrying Thropan's baby, if it was a kick you felt."

Gina nodded her head. "I figured as much."

Sheila thought hard for a moment, thinking of anything else that might help Gina. "Also, a Werecat fetus doesn't take very long to grow. Especially if the egg and sperm turnout very compatible... Though even this is a little too soon..." Sheila's eyes widened. "It could be the Giant blood in you helping speed things up..."

Gina blushed deeply. "But?"

Sheila interrupted Gina. "And that dust did have a fertility increaser, so there were better chances of cross-breeding."

Gina was staring wide-eyed. "...Uh, Gina? Are you okay?" Sheila asked.

Gina nodded her head slowly. "I'm having Thropan's baby, aren't I?"

Sheila placed head to Gina's stomach. Using her enhanced hearing to listen in, she concentrated on any noise. She could hear a second steady rhythm, a heartbeat, and a little movement. "... Yep... The fetus is moving... It's got to be Thropan's child."

Trying to smile pleasantly, Sheila said, "Well... At least you know who the Daddy is now... Eh heh heh..."

With that, Gina's eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fainted.

Sheila looked down at the unconscious Diggers woman. "Gina? Gina? GINA!? ... Hoo boy..."

The instant Gina fainted; a few of the others turned their heads to see Gina on the floor.

"What happened?" Julia asked directing her question at Sheila as she knelt beside her unconscious daughter.

"Er well." Sheila chuckled nervously and faced Julia and the others looking, especially Thropan. "Well we just figured out who the Father of Gina's child is. Congrats Thropan!"

Thropan went still as stone, the information hitting him like a rampaging Bog Thrasher. He then fainted.

*THUD!!*

"Damn, now they're both out." Sheila sighed, shaking her head.

"Well, at least now I can make sure the bum does the right thing and marries my Granddaughter." Mumsey said. She turned to Julia. "Julia, once they're awake we're having some wedding plans discussed!"

"Uh, are you sure we should get to that so soon, er, never mind Mumsey, wedding plans sound good to me!" Julia backed off when Mumsey started to put her in a headlock.

Theo smartly kept his mouth shut, as he didn't want to face his mother-in-law's brutality.

Mumsey then looked at the other unmarried couples expecting kids. "Same goes for the rest of you unmarried parents! We'll hold them all on the same day and throw a helluva party after words!"

Nobody dared to speak against her, and in some ways her plan was logical, and she did say big-ass party later, which meant more food.

"Uh hey Penny?" Charlotte asked her as she put on this cutesy face.

"What is it Charlotte?" Penny said giving the Harpy her full attention.

"Can I get pregnant and have a baby too?!"

*THUD!!*

"What'd I say?"

Ace felt a huge urge to run.

Ryan didn't hear of this turn of events as he was still knocked out from earlier; was he in for a surprise.

Meanwhile, Daishi looked behind his shoulder and saw his brother Shin behind him.

"What took you?"

"Had to handle something else; so where's the targets?" Shin answered.

"Master Talon wants the pregnant Weres, so we go for the either Britanny Diggers, the short-haired female Wererat, the female Jagwere with long hair, and by the pigtailed one, and the Weretigress." Daishi informed.

"Shouldn't be two hard...I'll take the Jagwere and Wererat, you get the other two." Shin said.

"Whatever...let's do this."

Just as Daishi was about to jump over to the Tendo place, Shin grabbed his arm to stop him, "Brother are you an idiot?" Daishi glared at his brother. "Nevermind, don't answer that." Shin pulled out several black beads from his clothing, "Here, use these."

"And what are these, Shin?"

Smirking at his brother, "These are Lord Talon's newest creations, special smoke bombs that interfere with the senses of all living things, lycanthrope, human, or minor demons/kami."

Daishi looked at Shin with a raised eyebrow, "What about Giants, Aura Mages, and Harpies?"

Smiling nastily Shin replied, "Don't worry about that, these will work trust me."

Daishi didn't trust his brother any further than he could throw a mountain, but nodded. Then he added, "What about us? Won't we be affected as well?"

Shin waved down his troubles, "Yes, but all you have to do is remember where your targets are in conjunction to you." He said as he slipped a ring on to his middle finger.

"Shin, what is that?" Daishi said, getting a bad feeling about it.

"You know what a joy-buzzer is right?" Daishi nodded, and Shin continued, "Well, this is an amplified one, it shocks the victims with enough electricity to knock even a Dragon out."

"But wouldn't that hurt the child?"

That stopped Shin, while both Daishi and himself never saw eye-to-eye; they didn't like hurting innocent children. "I don't know, we'll find out won't we."

Glaring at Shin, Daishi nodded, and they quickly jumped off the building they were on and then jumped on top of the Tendo's place. Meanwhile in the backyard everyone was having fun, when suddenly Ranma shivered. Looking at him Sheila asked, "Ranma, what's wrong honey?"

"I don't know, it's like something bad is going ta happen real soon." Just as he said that several small objects hit the ground and smoke started coming up and everyone started coughing, several of the Martial Artists tried to sense what was going on around them, but for some strange reason, they couldn't tell what was going on, good thing for all the noise.

"Aiyaah, what this?"

"*Cough* Smoke sugah."

"This smoke is messing with my &$#%ing senses."

*GRAB* "YOU PERVERT!!"

"Oh hell." *WHAM!*

"Ranma where are yoAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Sheila? Sheila where are you?"

"Dimmitt Theo cast a spell or something!"

"I'll take care of that, Hiryuu."

And with that the smoke cleared from a quick, but intense gust of wind. Looking around people saw that nearly everyone was there and some guy in a ninja suit had his head imbedded in the ground at Akane's feet. Looking at Cologne Ranma asked, "What the heck was that Cologne, it felt like a weak Hiryuu Shoten Ha."

Cologne smirked, "You're not the only one who can revise an ancient technique."

Britanny shook her head and looked at the unconscious form of, "Daishi?! What is he doing here?"

Gina answered, "What do you think? To get lycanthrope DNA, I think Pee Wee wanted to get pregnant Lycanthrope DNA this time."

Ranma then noticed something, "Hey where's Sheila?" He asked with a growing sense of dread. She was right next to him when this happened, and now she was gone.

Daishi started to come around, "Uhh, what hit me?" And suddenly found himself lifted off the ground by hands around his neck that started squeezing and stared into two blue-gray eyes that held infinite amounts of pain, anger, loathing, hate, and promises of pain if he didn't answer.

"Where is Sheila? What happened to her?" Ranma asked shaking him harder, as he was shaking Daishi, his battle aura started to bloom around him, but it wasn't the usual blue aura of confidence, but rather a crimson red aura, with streaks of black in it.

Seeing this the Neriman regulars stepped back and grabbed members of the Diggers crew, so that the aura wouldn’t hurt them. Britanny asked, "What's wrong, I mean I know why he's upset, but why are we moving back?"

Shampoo answered, "Ranma only this mad once before, when fighting Phoenix God-King Saffron. Shampoo not get in his way when he's this mad, he too too scary." The rest of the wrecking crew nodded and stepped back, the Diggers did as well, just until they could find out what happened.

"Um, Sheila, that was that long-haired female Jagwere, right?" Ranma nodded, squeezing harder, "My brother Shin has her, and took her to the holding cells that Lord Talon set up. If you let me go I'll take you to her." Ranma glared at him, and finally decided to drop him.

Continuing to glare Ranma spoke, "You had better be telling the truth, or I will kill you."

(----)

Outside the rented out compound Lord Erwin 'Pee Wee' Talon currently resides in, a few shadows appear along the sides of the building.

"Is this it?"

Daishi nodded. "Yes, this is it...And can you let go of my neck now? Your grip hurts."

Ranma gave the Ninja a growl, which made Daishi shut up.

"That Talon boy has gone too far this time. It’s high time he's put out of business for keeps." Julia said, after all the trouble that little gene-juggling bastard put her daughters through he had a LOOOONG-TIME personal ass whuppin' coming. And she was going to trade words with the boy's mother as well.

"If that little brat touches my sister he's dead meat." Gar snarled lowly as he clutched Thunder Edge.

"Well let's not be rude and keep em' waiting HEHEHE" Brianna cackled as she patted her new gun, which was attached to her latest power-armor.

Inside Pee Wee was examining his prize, which was strapped to an examination table. "You did good Shin...as much as I'd prefer more for variety at least having one works for now."

"LEMME OUTTA THIS YOU SHIRMP-SIZED, PREPUBSENCE D*CKIHEAD!" Sheila snarled as she struggled to get free of her leather-strap bonds. Leather-straps that were designed to hold down a full-powered Lycanthrope, which made it hard for Sheila who was stuck in hybrid form, and hers isn't even full-powered like other Weres.

"Watch it fur-face, show some more respect to Lord Talon." Zelda chided Sheila.

"I'LL SHOW HIM WHO'S MISTRESS OF CLAWS IF YOU DON'T LEMME GO!"

"Such manners...well we'll have to correct that won't.."

*CRASH*

"..We?"

Pee Wee, Zelda, Shin, Link, & Ionis look over at their destroyed door. They see two extremely pissed off Jagwere males, a tall red-haired woman decked in battle garb wielding a rapier, and Brianna Diggers in power-armor.

"Oooooh Pee Wee, you better let Sheila go before we have to HURT YOU!" Brianna cackled in a singsong voice.
