feet

| standing in front of them and looking extremely pleased with himself.
|
| "What the hell...?!"  Mars yelled from next to Venus.
|
| Venus attempted to move, only to find her feet pinned in place as the
liquid

   Looks like your reformat wasn't completely effective. Most of it worked,
but not all.

Trigun episode, it works well for me.

face was twisted in

   Minor nit, men can't BEAR children, they can only sire them.

|
| "Your outfits are almost perfect, Dearie, but not quite," the Mayor said
| lecherously.  Shivers traveled down Saturn's spine as she heard the

   Um, why don't they try to blast, or at least hit them?

Something like that at any rate.

leaned
| forward in his seat, hands gripping the roll bars, ready to pull himself
up
| and out of the vehicle in a moments notice if needs be.

| "Saotome Tandem Attack!  Now!"  Vash's yell jarred Ranma from his

   VERY interesting!

| Faster than most people could see, Vash threw four tiny throwing daggers,
| embedding them all into one side of the flying fist as he hurtled towards
| it.

   Huh?

| Ranma stopped to watch the spectacle, too far removed to be of any
| assistance.
| He noticed the wires that were attached to the throwing-knives and led
into
| the
| folds of Vash's coat as the approached impact with the fist.

   Well, that's certainly different from what I would have expected. Ah

Guess I got stuck on the original.

   Poor Mars, I feel sorry for her, and of course for Saturn and Venus too.

| "Die!"  The impromptu attack phrase was all the warning Venus needed to

| She watched as he ran off, leaving her stunned and confused.

   Grrr.... Kazuma was always a bit of an idiot, isn't he?

| Venus had run after the others as quickly as she could, arriving on the

   winced in sympathy?

   If you meant to capitalize hell, you should probably do the whole
