Further plotting for Himiko and Bulma

Ranko peaked around the corner in the hallway, spying on the door to where James was being held. She pouted seeing a line already outside his room with a bunch tapping their feet impatiently. She was about to leave to come back when no one was around when someone tapped her shoulder.

“Hey Ranko-chan,” said a cheery voice. Ranko shivered knowing this particular voice.

“Hi Toga,” Ranko replied, turning to the fanged blonde girl who was grinning.

“I told you to call me Himi-chan,” Himiko pouted as she looked at Ranko’s appearance and leaned around the corner to see what she was looking at. “I see someone’s eager to visit Jam-kun. Got hooked on his dick, didn’t ya?” Ranko blushed and started making denials but Himiko just giggled.

“Don’t worry, I can get you some quality time with him, if you can help me with something,” Himiko offered, giving a flirtatious smirk. Ranko tried to edge around Himiko but was blocked and due to being under the Weakness Point she couldn’t overpower her.

“Not interested in anything like that,” Ranko said nervously recalling her experiences with Shampoo and the other fiancees.

“Nothing like that,” Himiko rolled her eyes. “Though if you ever change your mind…” Ranko glared, causing Himiko to stop that offer. “Right… you still know Martial Arts Tea Ceremony?”

“Yes…” Ranko said slowly, wondering why Himiko was asking.

“Great, Habanera, May, Anthea, and some of the other guards and patrollers are interested in learning,” Himiko explained eagerly. “I would be very happy if you held a class in sparring room 3 tomorrow at three.”

“Why tomorrow?” Ranko asked, suspicious of the timing.

“It was the earliest time slot I could get, Looma is sparring Supergirl right after and Temari is sparring Nanzi right before,” Himiko explained, hiding the fact it was also the only room that could be remotely locked. And that she was planning on sealing her in with them and that Supergirl isn’t going to be sparring Looma. Looma will hopefully be distracted waiting for the spar, she won’t be around for the hopefully quick rebellion. Nanzi being a random female airbender that found herself snatched by RealDreams right before the Fire Nation attacked.

“Fi…” Ranko was about to agree when the lights in the hallway all started flickering. Everyone in the line started muttering worried that the extremely worn generators of the watchtower were about to finally die. A loud moan and a few shouts caused Ranko and Himiko to look around the corner at the door at James’ room with raised eyebrows, the girls and women in line had similar looks.

“That was…concerning,” a Barris Offee said, wringing her fingers. The Lum in line looked to be debating barging in when doors opened and the wide and naked form of the merged Lusamine, Nora, and Mai walked out. Lusamine and Mai’s hair was standing on end while Nora’s was normal.

“We might need a medic. Nora pulled a Nora with a metal fork,” Lusamine said as she let out a little puff of smoke. “James isn’t looking so great.” Ranko and Himiko gave each other a look before running up as Barriss Offee, a Martha Jones from Doctor Who, and a humanized Fluttershy got out of line and ran inside.

“Get some medkits!” Martha and Fluttershy shouted as they ran inside to check on James.

“Anyways, now that she’s secured,” Gogo said, gesturing to the gagged and tied up Velma in a corner of the shuttle’s cabin. “How about you introduce yourself?”

“Um sure? I mean shouldn’t you all already know me?” The blue furred anthropomorphic hedgehog with orange jacket and human teeth asked as he waved his arms around. The characters gathered around just stared at his human teeth and collectively shuddered. “No? I’m Ugly Sonic? The rejected actor from the trailers? And a supporting character in the Chip N Dale movie?”

“Yeah, barely any of us had the time to watch holo-vids before ending up in this trash heap,” Sabine Wren deadpanned, shrugging off his off looks; not as strange as some species back in her home universe.

“Oh,...” Ugly Sonic said as he rubbed his head, disappointed at not being recognized.

“Anyways, since you’re here, you know anything to help fix this thing up?” Gogo asked, figuring she would offer the guy a spot in the group.

“Well, I had a cameo in a commercial for the Hedgehog Powered Mechanic Shop,” Ugly Sonic said helplessly. “‘Your car fixed in under thirty seconds or 50% off’.”

“Well, nice knowing you,” Kiva said as she stood up and grabbed a box of tools to work on the engine.

“Wait, um…” Ugly Sonic jumped up with desperation. “On Prime World, I was supposed to star in a reject race event until they found a slightly handsomer Ugly Sonic.”

“And?” Sabine Wren.

“They modded me to have original Sonic speed,” He said, causing Gogo to sit up in interest.

“Then why were you driving the car?” Gogo asked, seeing the hole in his story.

“I can only use it for fifteen seconds then a two minute cooldown,” Ugly Sonic sighed. “It was part of their rules to make the race interesting or something.”

“If we hook you up to a wheel or treadmill, we could generate a lot of energy to power everything,” Bulma said as she gained a thinking pose. “Or one big thing for fifteen seconds…” Bulma looked at the character storage device as an idea started to form in her mind.
