Ranko’s Journey
Chapter 3
There were five figures around the table. One could not see their features not because their was not enough light but because they seamed to be cloaked in shadows that had no apparent source.
“I say that we just kill her and find the children on our own.”
“Yes spill their blood and be done with it.”
One of the figures laughed, “Were is the fun in that.”
“I say we promise them great gifts if they come over and follow the great gods.”
“FOOL, They oppose the Gods, and the only gift they should be allowed is to have their skulls offered in sacrifice.”
Watching the others squabble amongst them selves the one figure that had not spoken, the leader, almost smiled. ‘It is good that they hate each other. It means that they will be to busy plotting against each other to plot against me.’
“HOW DARE YOU,” one of them yelled after a particularly nasty comment about one of the others God. He started to gather Dark Energy around his fist.
“ENOUGH.” Yelled the leader, bringing down his palm on the table at the same time. The table cracked slightly under his hand.
“I will decide what we will do, do you understand.” Grudging nods came from the others. “Good, now Lue’tan do you have a plan to try and lure them over to our side?”
“Yes Master.”
“Implement it immediately.”
“It shall be as you wish.”
“Good, now on to other matters…”

“So what were those attacks that you used on the demons back there?” asked Setsuna as her and Ranko walked towards her house.
“Well the attack used on the puppet was my Moko Takabisha is ki blast. I build up my life energy, ki, into a single point using a emotion as a funnel, confidence in my case, and release it in a blast at my enemy.” Ranko explained.
“And the other one? The one that looked like a distortion in the air and cut the demons that were holding me?”
“Well that was the Musabetsu Kakutou. It is sort of the opposite of the Moko Takabisha in that instead of it being a blast of ki, it is actually a lack of it. I create pressure in the air in front of me by swinging my arms out wide while at the same time draw all the ki out of the pressure in front of me which turns it into a void of nothing that shoots out and forms a knife like edge that can cut threw just about any thing if used right.”
“Wow.” Setsuna continued to be amazed by this young girl that saved her. ‘She has attacks that rival mine and none of them are powered by magic. I’m glad she’s on our side’ she thought.
She led Ranko to her house, “WOW, its huge.” exclaimed Ranko, “You live here all alone?”
With a sigh, “Yes, the only reason I have a house like this is because with what I do, I need privacy and in Tokyo the only way to get that is to have a large house like this.” she explained.
“How can you afford it? You said before that protecting the world from outside threats is pretty much a full time job.”
“I’ve been around for a long time. I was rich during the Silver Millennium and I’ve only added to it since. Most recently by the stock market.”
“Ah, makes sense.” Ranko said. Her eyes went slightly glossy for a moment and then said, “well I don’t sense any demonic energy in there so you should be safe. I’ll go find a place to stay for the night and I’ll meet you tomorrow to talk out a way to find this cult.”
“Why don’t you stay here? I’ve got lots of room and then we can talk in the morning?” Setsuna asked.
“I don’t really want to impose, and I’ve done enough freeloading in my lifetime.” Ranko replied.
“Well if you are supposed to be protecting me then shouldn’t you stay with me?”
“Well maybe…”
“And it is the least that I can do to pay you back for saving me from a fate worse then death last night.”
“I guess…”
“Great it is settled then lets go I’ll show you a room that you can use.”
Ranko sighed a nd followed her inside.

Ranko woke up slowly that afternoon.
‘This bed is so confineable I don’t want to get up’ Ranko thought to her self. ‘wait a second, bed?’ she quickly sat up and looked around.
That’s when the events from last night and early morning came back to her. ‘I guess it wasn’t a dream, who would of thought it, me helping to save the world. Man why does all the crazy stuff happen to me?’
She got up and went over to her pack and took out a clean set of clothes. A white tank top and a loose pair of black jeans. She preferred the kung fu pants that she was used to wearing but found that she drew less unwanted attention in the jeans. Over her tank top she threw her long sleeved red silk Chinese shirt but left it undone in the front and walked out of her room.
Finding the kitchen she quickly found the glasses and poured her self a glass of water drank it. ‘I need to work out a little.’ she thought and went to go find a place that she could do her katas.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Setsuna woke up a bit later. First thing that she did was check the time gates to make sure no one had tampered with them. Satisfied she transported back to her house and went down to the kitchen to fix her self her morning tea. Looking over at a clock on the wall she corrected her self, her afternoon tea.
Taking her first sip she looked out the window and saw Ranko doing what looked like at first glance a dance in her yard. Opening the sliding glass door to the yard she walked out on to the deck and watched her.
‘It is a dance,’ she thought, ‘a graceful, deadly dance. She has made something that can be used in war and death into a art form. It has a dark beauty about it.’
Ranko brought her hand in a knife hand strike down to were her imaginary opponent’s throat would have been, a move that could only be described as lethal, crushing its windpipe causing it to suffocate to death.
As soon as she finished Setsuna started clapping. Ranko turned around quickly, her face done up in surprise. “Oh… Hi… ah, good afternoon,” Ranko said well scratching the base of her pig tail, a little bit embarrassed.
“That was amazing,” Setsuna complimented.
“Eh, thanks… It was just my morning workout, I altered it a bit because we are facing demons.”
“How was it altered?”
“Well normally I practice moves that will knock out or subdue but with demons and such I need to use more lethal techniques.”
“Oh well I guess that makes sense.” She replied. “Why don’t you go have a shower and after we can go out for dinner and discuss the situation over it.”
“’Kay… uh were is the bathroom?”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“I’ve spotted them they are in a restaurant down town”
“Good,” Lue’tan said, “Send in the “Sirens” and I will be there shortly.”
He hung up the phone, “Excellent, I’ll lure them to our side and have them willingly tell me the location of the Sailor Senshi, and then I will be first favoured by Bel’kor. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…..”
Several cultists and demons paused outside the door as they heard the mad laughter behind it. They looked at each other, shrugged, and went on their way. It was a demonic cult after all and such things were quite common.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“S o do you have any idea’s on how to find them. It’s a big city and we don’t really have a lot of manpower to do a door to door search?” asked Ranko over her beef teriyaki.
“Not really, In the past they have been pretty open in their activities.” Setsuna replied.
“Then how are we…” Ranko trailed off as she noticed a sudden glossy eyed look in Setsuna’s eyes. They were focused on something behind her. Turning around in her chair she saw two of the most good looking men she had ever seen. She was instantly aroused and felt like lusting after them.
Her eyes started to gloss over too as she watched the two of them make their way over to their table. ”Hello there, we saw the two of you as we walked in and we just had to meet you.” One of them said with what could only be described as the most sensual voice that either of them ever heard.
Ranko felt like she was putty in their hands when se heard a voice in the back of her mind ‘NO, this is wrong, I’m not attracted to men.’
She felt like ignoring it but between Genma’s upbringing and her past year and a half in Nermia, listening to that voice is the only thing that had kept her alive, so she listened to it now trying to think of what’s wrong.
Looking over at Setsuna she saw that what ever it was the two were doing was affecting her to a greater degree then it was her. That’s when it hit her, looking at Setsuna triggered a memory from last night.
‘”Slanesh is the God of Dark Pleasure, His followers believe that if it feels good then do it and nothing is wrong except to go against their god.”’
‘These two must be followers of Slanesh.’ The sudden realization that these two were demons dispelled the hold they had over her. Now that she had a clear head she could sense the demonic aura rolling off of them. She didn’t want to make a seane in the restaurant so she said in her cute little girl voice, the one that when combined with a certain expression, that she now held, got her all the free ice cream and treats back in Nermia, “Why don’t you two pay our bill and then we can go back to our place.”
The two demons were momentarily stunned by the innocent face and diabetically sweet offer when their lust aura went into overdrive and the expressions on their faces suddenly said ‘screw the plan, lets have us a party.’
Setsuna still out of it agreed whole heartedly.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lue&# 8217;tan arrived in a puff of smoke, when he saw the group exit the restaurant. He smiled, excellent they have taken the bait.’
He then saw them head down a side street. Picking up his radio, “They should be completely under control now. Surround them completely and move in to pick them up.”
A round of affirmatives came back to him. He walked down the ally himself.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ranko led them down the ally about halfway. And then turned around quicker than the demons could react and buried her Neko-ken claws into both of their foreheads.
Screaming they both collapsed to the asphalt in black flame.
This brought Setsuna out of her trance. “huh, what happened?”
“No time to talk we got company,” supplied Ranko.
Looking around Setsuna saw that they were surrounded by demons of all shapes and sizes and they were slowly closing in.
“PLUTO CRYSTAL POWER!”
Ranko looked over as soon as the she shouted her transformation phrase and blushed. She turned back around almost immediately and mumbled something about fan-service.
“Lets do this” Ranko yelled, jumping into the enemy, “Who wants some?”
On the other side the demons had gotten to close to Pluto for any of her magical attacks so she started twirling her staff around in quick arcs. When ever the orb on top of the staff hit one of the smaller demons, it would howl in pain and combust into black flame, instantly banished to its home dimension. The bigger ones tried to avoid it as well because it burned as if they were being hit with molten steel.
On the other side Ranko was using her Neko-ken claws like there was no tomorrow. Every single hit was a lethal strike. A torn out throat, a severed spine, a pierced heart, right between the eyes. Wading through the black flames knowing that they wouldn’t burn her she dispatched the demons coming at them from her side of the ally and turned back to help Pluto with hers.
Pluto was not having a good time. Three of the demons saw that they could not get close to that staff so had found some make shift weapons from the trash laying on the ally floor. Using the pieces of pipe and rebar, teaming up on her she was on the defensive and could not get a shoot in offensively.
That’s when a distortion of air sailed past her and removed the head from one of her attackers. The burst of black flame distracted the other two creatures enough for her to get a killing blow to the throat of one of them and while spinning around using the recoil of the strike as added leverage she brought the orb side down as hard as she could on to the others skull caving it in.
The two were alone in the ally standing surrounded by black flame.
“Is that all of them?” Pluto asked breathing a little heavy.
Casting her senses out, her aura coming into the visible spectrum momentarily, “WATCH OUT!” she yelled diving and tackling Pluto out of the way, a blast of dark energy shattered the ground were they were standing.
Looking up they saw a human slowly transforming into a demon, and did he look pissed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
He had jumped up to the roof to watch the battle as soon as he saw the red head shove some sort of energy claws through the heads of his sirens. He then watched as the two ‘girls’ destroyed his followers.
He was angry, ‘how dare they defy me, I was willing to give them great gifts and power beyond reckoning and they threw that away? Not only did they do that but they had the gal to destroy all of my followers too? Do they have any idea how much energy it took for me to summon that many? They will pay for this insolence.’
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The demon had finished transforming and it looked like something out of a morbid artists nightmare. It was three meters(10 feet) high, had pasty white skin, four arms two of them ending in crab claws and the other two ending in giant hands with talons on each finger. But the most distinguishing feature had to be the giant head that looked like a horse with great horns coming out of it.. When it opened up its mouth to roar and they saw rows of sharp pointed teeth.
Not wasting any time Ranko shot a barrage of void blades at the beast. It wasn’t even looking so it didn’t even try to dodge. The blades shot threw the air and then fizzled out just before they hit it.
Not expecting this, Ranko barely dodged the attack by the claw aiming to remove her head from the rest of her. ‘That was close, I didn’t even see it move, one second it was on the roof then it was right beside me’
Jumping over another swipe from one its claws and still in the air, she yelled “MOKO TAKABISHA” and let fly with a globe of golden energy. It to fizzled out just before it hit him. Using the recoil of throwing the blast she back flipped away from demon ‘why aren’t any of my attacks working against this thing?’
Suddenly all sound ceased, it was as if someone had pushed a mute button on the world and in the absence of sound, two words spoken in a whisper, seamed to shake the world to its core.
“Dead Scream”
Pluto standing behind the beast had launched a purple sphere of crackling magical energy. Striking it in the middle of its back, it seemed to grow and engulf its entire body. A small black fire started at its feet but started growing at a rapid rate.
“DANM YOU PLUTO, I’LL BE BACK, BUT HAVE SOMETHING TO REMEMBER ME BUY.” bellowed the demon as he raised his hands.
“CURSE OF DESIRE!” and with his body completely engulfed in flame a wave of energy expanded out and hit both Ranko and Pluto knocking both of them off their feet.
Quickly getting up again Ranko looked over to Pluto to see her also getting up. Looking into the dying black flames around them she heard sirens coming in the distance.
“We need to get out of hear now.”
Pluto nodded and swung her staff in a downward motion cutting a hole in the air.
Mildly surprised to see Setsuna’s home threw the hole Ranko jumped threw followed closely by Pluto.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“Wh at was that curse of desire thing that he did to us? I don’t feel any thing.” Ranko asked after Setsuna de-transformed
“I don’t know, I’ve never heard of it before. I guess that it didn’t go off correctly considering he was almost completely engulfed in those flames when it went off.”
“Oh… Oh ya, how com none of my attacks wor….”
That’s when it hit them. An intense wave of desire. Ranko’s mind was working over time suddenly trying to control her libido. ‘Whoa, this isn’t right. I got to control it. I just got to get away before it gets to strong and I do something to Setsuna, ya that’s it I should just go jog it off or something.’
Turning around to face Setsuna, Ranko was tackled to the ground with Setsuna’s lips pressed to hers.
