All pairings in drabbles thus far are NoaxZagi. Beware the brainless crossover with Ranma 1/2.
1)
Title: Making a Splash
Rating: Low PG for implied UM-bashing.
Summary: Murphy's Law kicks in whatever planet you're from.
It had been a very ordinary fight up until that point. Zagi had fled the battlefield for a more advantageous position. Noa had followed. They arrived at a distant locale in the heart of East Asia, a hundred pools below them as they fought human-sized in mid-air.
But then Noa had faltered, and Zagi had lunged. As Noa whirled to block, his Aegis clocked his foe in the face. Zagi splashed down into a deep pool below, casting up a great fount of water.
Noa cursed, drenched. These things always happened the day after he washed and waxed his armour.

2)
Title: Nian Ni Quan
Rating: PG for poor Noa.
Summary: Jusenkyou has claimed another victim.
Shaking the last wriggly thingie out of the chinks in his armour, Noa turned his attention to the pool. Where WAS Zagi?
He didn’t have long to wait. With a splash and splutter, a dark figure rose from the water and surged towards him. Noa instinctively put his hands out to hold his foe back.
Instead, he found himself holding two soft, squishy things that certainly didn’t belong.
“Release my tits,” Zagi snarled, before he realised just what he’d said - in a soprano voice.
In the ensuing commotion, nobody noticed the sign by the pool that said ‘Drowned Maiden Spring.’

Title: Sweet Warfare
Rating: PG for weird imagery.
Summary: "...It's a plant...the biggest chocolate factory in the country."
The data he was receiving greatly perplexed the Chinese Illustrator. Still, his job was to strategise, not question, so he contacted TLT China’s special forces - the Storm Raiders.
“A beast tremor has appeared at Area 6, point 15. Please prepare for attack.”
“Roger, Illustrator. Is it a residential area?”
“Er, no. It’s a plant…the biggest chocolate factory in the country.”
By the time they arrived, the factory’s roof was gone. Workers were gibbering about a gigantic black hand. Nothing was missing except for two tanks filled with the best milk chocolate.
It was all very strange, even for TLT standards.

Title: A Gigantic Case of Hormones
Rating: PG for talk about body parts and bodily functions.
Summary: "I don't want boobs! I still want to pee standing up!"
All Noa had to do to was follow the trail of destroyed factories. He found Femme Zagi in hiding, hoarding her (his? Its?!) spoils.
“Get your own chocolate!” she hissed.
“At least follow me back to M78. I don’t think you want to stay female, right?”
Normally, this remark would have made Zagi rearrange Noa’s face, but estrogen does strange things to beginners. Instead, Femme ran into Noa’s arms, bawling her eyes out.
“No! I don’t want boobs! I still want to pee standing up! You have to help me, Noa!”
“…All right, but can you please stop crushing me?”

5)
Title: Any Ideas?
Rating: PG for still more body-part talk.
Summary: Got a problem? Talk to Ultra Father...or not.
Naturally, the Ultra Warriors were quite surprised when Noa came back with the darkest denizen of the universe-complete with boobs!-but being of semi-legendary status helps keep everyone quiet at times of crisis such as these. Especially when Zagi kept slapping the men staring at her (quite impressive) chest.
The Commander of the Space Garrison, Ultra Father, listened carefully as Noa explained the situation to him. He considered the situation thoroughly, drawing upon his millennia of life and martial experiences. Finally he looked up, took a deep breath…and shook his head.
“Sorry, Noa, Zagi. You’re on your own here.”

Title: Onsen Otaku
Rating: PG-13 for hinted Dyna/Tiga/Dyna.
Summary: You know how it feels when someone gets to go somewhere you want to...
Tiga recommended asking Dyna’s assistance. “He’s the expert on rare and secluded hot springs.”
“Whatever for?”
“…Eh, reasons.” Tiga turned excruciatingly pink. They found Dyna engrossed in a book titled ‘Come Come Paradise’. Strictly for research, he insisted. He perked up when he heard about the predicament, and thumbed through the handy ‘Interplanetary Hot Springs’ guide.
“I knew it. Jusenkyou! Each of its springs carries a transformational curse. Looks like you tangled with the ‘Drowned Maiden Spring.’” He closed the book and sighed. “You lucky dogs.”
At last count, Dyna was still looking for the teeth that Zagi knocked out.

Title: Hell Hath No Fury
Rating: PG for Femme Zagi shrieking like a banshee.
Summary: "Whaddya MEAN, the transformation is permanent?!"
Tests were run and research was done, and it all pointed to the same conclusion.
“Whaddya mean, the transformation is permanent?!” Femme Zagi shrieked in horror.
“Erm, it is.” 80 was quaking in his boots. “We’ve determined that you can change back to your male form with hot water, but any more contact with cold dihydrogen monoxide and you’ll turn back into, well, this.”
At the end of her tether, Femme spoke through clenched fangs. “And do you actually have hot dihydrogen monoxide?”
“…Not a drop naturally occurs on this planet.”
80’s eardrums never quite recovered afterwards.

8)
Title: Sleepover
Rating: PG for just the tiniest bit of violence.
Summary: The perennial question of how to share one bed between two people is answered. DON'T.
It being late, Femme Zagi was somehow persuaded to stay the night. With Noa.
One problem remained, though. Two Ultras. One energy bed.
“…I could sleep on the floor,” Noa ventured.
“Not on your life,” Femme snapped, folding her arms across her ample chest. “Has war cooked your brains? I’m a DARK Ultra. Your light bed would drain me of strength. Do you mean to kill me?”
“The thought has crossed my mind several times,” murmured Noa, barely catching the bookend Femme hurled at his face.
“Hrmph.” Femme curled up in the room’s darkest corner. It wasn’t comfortable, but better than the bed.

Title: I'll Keep You Warm
Rating: PG-13, as this is where the slashfluff REALLY starts.
Summary: Noa's got a warm heart, that's for sure. The rest of him is just HOT. XD
Femme somehow managed to fall into fitful slumber. The floor was pretty cold and uncomfortable, but she was fully determined to stay far away from Noa.
That is, until she felt something warm across her back. She turned to see him there, pale gold eyes regarding her with concern.
“You looked a little chilly, Zagi.” He pulled the blanket around her, his hand lingering briefly on her shoulder.
Hormones, as mentioned before, do strange things. Both of them were very warm for the rest of the night.
“…You’re pretty cute as a girl.”
“Shut up and kiss me, you fool.”

Title: We're In Real Hot Water
Rating: PG-13 for WTFness, a bit of morning-after talk and horrible old cartoon references.
Summary: Every action has its consequences.
It all worked out very nicely afterwards, and Noa and Femme did eventually find a planet with hot water and reversed the transformation.
“I HAVE THE POWER!!!” Zagi thundered, maleness restored. Noa merely blinked serenely. Nothing surprised him any more.
“So, I’ll see you the next time you’re planning world domination.” Nothing was mentioned about the previous nights. “And don’t go near any water.”
“Be there, Lightlander. And I won’t.”
He didn’t. And Noa was all too willing to forget the whole incident until they did meet in combat again. That was when Zagi had to stop mid-fight to vomit.
-
Oh my GOD, I could just end here, really, but no. I'm too amused to do so any time soon. Believe you me, things can only get worse. A penchant for fluff AND a dash of slash are dangerous things to mix. And one gets to write malepreg for a little kick, so what's wrong about that? XD
...I get the feeling I'm going to die when college reopens.
(ETA: Double the drabbles! Double the fun! XD;)
