Fan Fiction / Ranma 1/2 Fan Fiction ❯ Herbie's Drive Through Nerma ❯ Herbie abducted! Herbie meets his friends' doubles ( Chapter 11 )

`Boy, what a night.' Herbie thought. `I can't believe that they did that for me for winning a race. Not even Jim or Hank did that, but I was just happy with a congratulations, but jeez, what that family did for me…'

*FLASHBACK, ONE HOUR AGO*

After Nabiki and Mousse's date, it was time for them to head back to the Tendo Dojo. Prior to their departure, Soap and Shower talked to Soun and he agreed to let Mousse stay at the dojo which made Nabiki happy.

(So, you guys had a good time?) Herbie beeped.

"Yeah, thanks for taking us to the movies Herbie." Nabiki said.

"But you really didn't have to drive us to and from the movies after such a race." Mousse said.

(Oh no, I don't mind.) Herbie beeped. (I love helping friends and I'm glad to have the two of you as friends.)

"We're glad you're our friend too Herbie." Nabiki said. "But, can you do something for us? Can you drive up to the dojo?"

(Why?) Herbie curiously beeped.

"No reason. I just felt like entering from the dojo." Nabiki said trying to cover something up, winking at Mousse.

(Uh… ok.) Herbie beeped, still curious. He did so and when he got there…

"SURPRISE!"

…was heard as Herbie saw Soun, Nodoka, Kasumi, Hiroshi, and Daisuke there with a banner behind them that said…

(`Congratulations Nabiki, Mousse and HERBIE?!' Me?!) Herbie beeped. (What's going on?)

"We're celebrating our victory Herbie." Mousse said. "It wouldn't be right if we just said `Thank you' and `Congratulations.'"

"We want you to be apart of the celebration." Soun said. "After all, if it wasn't for all three of you, Ranma and Akane wouldn't be together."

(Speaking of them, how are they doing?) Herbie beeped.

"Still frozen, I'm afraid." Nodoka said. "But they'll be fine in two weeks, at least that's what Dr. Tofu said."

"Auntie, you can trust his judgment." Kasumi said. "He's one of the best."

`Hmmmmmm…' Herbie thought.

"I know what you're thinking Herbie," Nabiki whispered, "And you don't want to have Dr. Tofu driving you with Kasumi in the same area. He goes nuts." If Herbie could sweat drop, he could.

"Anyway, let's celebrate!" Hiroshi yelled as the party got underway.

*END FLASHBACK*

`Man, I'm never going to forget this night as long as I live.' Herbie thought. `But man, am I tired. I think I'll call it a night.' Herbie then fell into a deep sleep, unaware of somebody stalking the compound. The person got closure, and closure, and closure until she, Kodachi, was in front of his trunk and she carefully popped it open.

`Hehehehe, once I fill this demonic car with my special mixture, my plan will be set into motion.' Kodachi thought. `And once Sasukee and his ninjas hide this car somewhere, Ranma and I will search for it and we'll get closure and closure until… OOOOOOOOO! I can't wait!' Just as soon as she put her potion in the gas tank, Herbie woke up.

`Huh… KODA… chi… wha…' Herbie couldn't finish his thought, because the potion put him under.

"Excellent! Sasukee!" Kodachi said, careful not to wake the whole compound. Just then, the ninja servant and his clan appeared.

"Shall we proceed as planed, mistress Kodachi?" Sasukee asked.

"Yes. Take him as far away from here as you and your ninjas can, but don't tell me where. I want to be as shocked and concerned as Ranma." Kodachi said.

"Yes my mistress." The ninja said as they quickly got out some beams to carry the car, and off they went to where not even Kodachi knows.

*************************************************************** *********

A few hours later, Herbie came too in the middle of some woods.

`Huh? What happened?' Herbie thought. Then he remembered. `Kodachi. She must have somehow drugged me. Great, now I'm lost. I better try to find my way back to the Tendo Training Hall.' Herbie then started his engine and drove off. `Where ever it is.'

Several miles later, Herbie sees something that amazes him. A village, but there's nothing modern about it.

`What's this place?' Herbie thought. `I remember seeing pictures of this when Roddy showed me some books about Japan when he told me I got to go.' Sure enough, the houses looked like they were built from paper, wood, and straw. There were no cement roads, or anything modern in it. Not even a radio. `I got a bad feeling about this…' Herbie thought. Sure enough, when everybody woke up and looked outside, and what Herbie saw amazed him. `Hey… am I back in Neirma?' Sure enough, everyone in the village looks like everyone back in Neirma. However, nobody in the village has seen the car before. Or a car for that matter.

"What is this thing? A demon?" One of the villagers asked, who Herbie thought was…

(Daisuke, it's me! Herbie! I'm not a demon!) Herbie beeped, causing everyone to gasp.

"It… it talks!" Taichi, who looks like Daisuke, said. All the villagers were amazed.

`Oh boy. I got a bad feeling about this.' Herbie thought. `Where's the guy in the suit about to tell me I'm going to learn a lesion?'

"Quick! Somebody get the head of the village along with Kanna and Kotaro!" One of the villagers yelled.

`Kanna and Kotaro?' Herbie thought. `If this Taichi person looks like Daisuke, then who…' Herbie then got a good look at the three aforementioned characters.

(Soun?! Ranma?! Akane?!) Herbie beeped.

"What is this thing?" Kanna, who looked like Akane, asked. "And what's it speaking?"

`I Forgot. Apparently I'm in an Outer Limits episode or something.' Herbie thought.

"It looks like a peace of scrap iron to me." Kotaro, who looked like Ranma, said.

(You're no prize yourself.) Herbie beeped.

"What did you say?!" Kotaro, knowing when he was being made fun of, but still not understanding Herbie.

"Now, now, we shouldn't react in such a manner." The head of the village, who looked like Soun, said. "After all, it hasn't attacked us yet, nor do we have any reason to attack it."

"Say, where's Hayato?" One villager asked.

"Remember when he drugged Kotaro and almost rapped Kanna?" One villager said. "The Panda had to step in and stopped him. He's still KO'ed."

`Panda?' Herbie thought.

"Remember the sign that the Panda left?" A villager asked. "'When she says no, she means no!'"

`A sign?' Herbie thought. `Could it be?' Just then, right behind the head of the village, a sign popped up.

`What's going on?' Sure enough, it was none other than…

(Genma?!) Herbie beeped.

`Hey, that's Nodoka's friend's car!' Genma signed.

"You know what this is?" Kanna asked.

`Yeah, it's a car that belongs to someone I know, but what's it doing here?' Genma signed.

(Kodachi drugged me and the next thing I know, I'm here.) Herbie beeped.

`Kodachi dru… HEY! I UNDERSTOOD YOU!' Genma signed.

(It's been known to happen, but first thing's first, where am I?)

"What's it sayin'?" Kotaro asked.

`Where is he n…? YOU HAVE NO DRIVER!' Genma signed.

(You noticed it now?) Herbie beeped.

"What is this `car?'" Taichi asked.

`Uh… it's like a horse.' Genma signed. `It'll get you from point A to point B only faster.'

"Yeah, and it's twice as ugly." Kotaro said, earning…

*WHAM*

…a trunkful from Herbie in the jaw.

"Now that he had coming." A villager said, to which the head of the tribe and Genma nodded.
