----- CHAPTER 2 - Scramble -------------

##### TIME STASIS CHAMBER - ON BOARD KYAH'S SPACE STATION ###############

Ryoko saw their kidnapper disappear behind the closing doors, and went into
action. Phasing out of her tube, she appeared in the middle of the room.

'Now to find Tenchi. I'm sure they would be after his powers... but what's
with these others? And how in the universe did they find out about
him in the first place?' Ryoko thought.

Moving to one end of the long chamber, about a 100 meters in length, she
began to inspect each chamber. Power units hummed in the background, but
that was the only sound. Tens of tubes were on either side of the hallway,
with a foot of space separating each of them. In each tube, you could see
the top half of their sleeping occupants through the green tinted windows.
The first sixty tubes contained some sort of rock monster.

'Getting them out of the time status fields would be simple, just reach in
and phase them through the glass. Those don't look so tough, probably
wouldn't last through a small energy blast.'

It then changed to what looked like some pirates. 'Interesting, it might
be fun to get some of the gold ole' times in with these guys. Wonder if they
are any good.... but first to find Tenchi.'

Next was her now empty tube, and then a few interesting individuals. A short
flat chested red head, some girls in school clothes, two guys with the with
punk hair but amazingly no coloring. 'Those guys need to get some fashion
sense. If you are going for the look, do it right.' Next in line... Ayeka.
'She looked peaceful in her tube, just wait till the little hussy wakes up
and all hell will break loose.'

"Hey!" came a whisper suddenly from behind the tube to the right of Ayeka's,
which just so contained Tenchi.

Ryoko brought her energy sword out, but not wanting to hurt the tube (time
status tubes weren't the healthiest thing to be in when damaged), she got
into a defensive position.

"Who are you and what do you want with us?" Ryoko demanded, but not in her
usual yelling manner. The stranger was whispering, and her pirate instincts
told her this individual may be of some assistance. A person sneaking around
and whispering without attacking probably wasn't one of the kidnappers.
He also probably had a reason not to announce his presence to the world.
All the more reason to be careful.

"I'm here to help you escape. Queen Kyah kidnapped you to fight in her army
against her enemies. I'm a rouge, and not affiliated with either side. I just
want to protect the innocent. My name is Komosauro."

"Why don't you just come out. I don't trust you in the dark, you may have
some sort of weapon."

"I can't. There are pressure alarms built into the floor. If I touch the
floor, it will set the alarm. I also don't wish to fly out, risking the energy
alarms to go off. I'm surprised your sword and your flying hasn't set them
off. You must have a different energy signature than anything studied in this
galaxy."

"Enough with the small talk... all right though... what do you suggest we do?"

"I saw you phase out of your tube. It will make our job much easier. I want
you to phase out as many as you can, and carry them out without touching the
floor." replied Komosauro. "If we set the alarms, I'll blast our way out to
my ship. It's cloaked and attached to the outer wall of the level above us.
I don't wish to harm the other tubes, so blasting my way out through the
walls is out of the question."

"OK." Ryoko knew exactly who she would pick. Tenchi was first. Reaching in
through the stasis tube's walls, she pulled her love through the glass.
Komosauro let out a slight gasp. Apparently he wasn't used to seeing people
pulled through solids.

Tenchi was unconscious, so she put him over her shoulder. Now who was next...
Ryoko knew it wasn't going to be Ayeka, or maybe not any female. They might
try and latch onto Tenchi too. The two spiky haired punks looked like strong
fighters, so she pulled out the taller one, slung him over her shoulder, and
then pulled out the other. Having her hands full, she knew she couldn't get
anymore out, and she was also a little off balance.

"Let's go. I see no other way to get out than to fight through to the lower
level, blow up the wall, and get to my ship. I'd like to ask you to phase us
through the walls, but you have your hands full. Go to the door and prepare to
follow me. I'm fast when I want too, just try to keep up." With that,
Komosauro watched Ryoko make her way to the door, trying to stay afloat. He
commented to himself that while she may have some good abilities, she wasn't
much compared to some of the enemies he's fought.

The taller black haired individual in a orange gi shifted in his slumber,
causing his transportation some balance problems. Then she touched the floor.
A high pitched alarm went off, and warning lights flashed all around. An
electronic female voice then called out over the loudspeaker.
"Intruders detected in time chamber 21. All security staff to alert.
Repeat all security staf-"

Komosauro blasted the speaker. "Shit. Well, let's rumble." Jumping out into
the middle of the room, and powered up. Ryoko watched, shocked.

The air stirred around him, bringing the stale air in the room swirling around
him like a tornado. His energy started to grow, further attracting the dust
and swirling the air like static electricity. Crossing his arms, he started to
let out low yell. While the energy grew, his hair started to stand on end.

As the power peaked, he let out a great burst of light. The energy within him
changed his appearance, making his hair change a bright gold. A golden aura
also surrounded him. Ryoko was, still speechless. Aside from Tenchi, she
never felt an energy so strong. While Tenchi brought out the power of
Tsunami when in great danger, this individual brought out the power through
his own will. The floor buckled under the strain slightly, but thankfully
didn't harm the other tubes - which would have caused instant death for it's
occupant.

The powering up ended, but the golden aura still remained, flickering around
Komosauro.

"I'll explain later. First we must get out of here before -she- arrives. I
may be strong, but not enough to fight her one-on-one. Even if you helped,
we wouldn't stand a chance. Now, follow me. My ship is a short distance
away."

Lifting his arm straight up, with palm flat, he fired a blast through the roof.
Flying through hole, lined with red molten metal, he beckoned Ryoko with her
luggage to follow. He blew another whole through the wall revealing small
storage room. Komosauro clicked a button on his watch and pointed it at the
far wall of the storage room.

"I thought we were going to fight our way to the ship," asked Ryoko.

"Change of plans. My ship should be here in a few seconds. After we escape
the station, I can explain everything that has happened to you and your
friends - and what will happen to the others that are left behind."

"Good. I don't take kindly to being kidnapped and want answers," sneered
Ryoko.

A ring of molten metal started to appear on the wall. Sparks flew out, and
then stopped. The ten centimeter metal slab that was in the center fell
forward, revealing behind it the emptiness of space and a small red moon
far below.

"Stealth, I like. You must be loaded to have these toys."

"Not really. While in your universe it may be just fledgling technology,
here, it's really quite common." Giving a slight bow and gesturing toward the
door. "Ladies first."

She stepped through the doorway. Instead of being suspended in space, the
air lock of a ship appeared, with the inside hatch opening to the main
corridor of the shuttle.

"Down the hallway to your right is the medical station. Put your friends in
there and join me in the cockpit. We're getting out of here before they start
scanning for cloaking energy."

A short while later, they were traveling well past the speed of light with
the first leg of their adventure behind them.

###### JUUBAN - REI'S SHRINE #########################################

"Look! The spiky one's starting to wake up!"

Rei got up and walked over to the one with the weird hair. Hopefully she is
friendly, and if someone is there to greet her kindly when she wakes, she
may stay that way.

"Oh... I hate it when I'm pulled through those things. Dimensional rifts
aren't made for comfort travel." She held her right hand to her head in the
traditional 'feels like a major hangover' way, and held her upper body
up with the other arm.

Amy leaned forward at this information. 'This stranger apparently knows
something about what happened, and has had past experience with whatever
they pulled her out of. Perhaps they can rescue the others yet and gain
a useful ally at the same time.'

The stranger then sat up and looked at the group of girls. `They don't
look to dangerous. I better check though, looks can be deceiving. First
to get some privacy to check on where and who these girls are.`

"Do you have a restroom?" said Washu in her cute voice, sending out every
cute ray she could muster.

The sailor scouts face vaulted. Amy recovered first and stood up.

"Uh.. sure. Follow me."

"Thank you! You can call me Little Washuuu!"

In the bathroom with some degree of privacy and away from the eyes of the
girls, Washu activated her computer panel. Having it grafted into her
DNA structure made it very convenient during these situations.

She starts by scanning the immediate area. "Hmm... that's odd. There
are some energy readings coming from each of the girls, plus a few
subspace pockets are in the area. Of course... they had to have some
kind of power to open a rift - more than what a conventional nuclear
reactor can produce. There also seams to be the same type of energy
readings coming from the boy." Analyzing the readings further, a
thought came up.

"What if..." A few key presses later. "YES! I'm such a genius!
My theory of dimensional universe key lines is true! Let's see..."
Punching a few buttons further. "That explains these dual memories. Now to
confront the group. They seem friendly, and these memories, if true
should explain who they are."

Washu opened the door, only to be welcomed by the yell of the young man.

"What have you done with Akane!? Answer me!"

Ranma didn't like these situations. One second he was fighting Ryoga, the
next he was in the yard of a Shinto shrine. However these people did it,
they had to be good. Maybe even a match for the Amazon ghoul in the area
of tricks.

"Please calm down. We can explain-"

"Let ME explain," cut in Washu.

Slowly she held out her hand to shake, and walked calmly toward the young man.

Ranma observed very closely, still in a defensive stance. Her motions were
deliberate, with no hint of a hidden attack. The muscles were relaxed in her
legs and arms. The same for her neck muscles, one of the more involuntary
muscle areas to give the warning of betrayal. Finally, the most important
reason for his decision, she looked him in the eye with a smile - just
like Akane when she was cuutt... Shaking his head, 'That tomboy? Never.'

He walked up to the strange haired woman and shook her hand firmly. "Hi, my
name is Ranma Saotome. Sorry about this. Mind explaining what is going on?"

"No problem. You can call me LITTLE WASHU!"

The rest of the group tear dropped. Ranma shrugged, "Uhh.. ok."

"I can explain most of what has happened and get you up to speed," Washu said.

"Yes, I too would like to know what happened. You seem to know a lot about
what we pulled you out of," butted in Amy.

"Gladly. Nothing that the greatest scientific mind the universe can't handle!
Let's all have a seat." After gathering around the fire, with Ranma leaning
against one of the shrine's pillars, Washu began. "Here is what I know. A
dimensional energy rift was opened when two of my friends were fighting.
Their energy attacks collided. Someone outside of my universe used that energy
to initiate the pull. The energy grabs on to specific types of energy
signatures - usually what is created by life or magical powers. We were then
on our way to the perpetrator's universe when you pulled us through.
The same thing probably happened to you, right Ranma?"

"Yes. There was an energy collision in a battle I was in. When they collided,
some sort of lightening grabbed us. That was the last I knew of before
waking up here. Is there any way to get back?"

"Yes, but I'll need the dimensional headings that we were on before we were
pulled out. Then I can figure out where to or from we were going," Washu
replied.

Amy spoke up, "I might be able to help with that. My computer kept readings
on where you were before you arrived. However, I don't understand them.
Perhaps you'll know what the readings mean."

"Perfect! I'll take you up on the offer here in a bit. Before we go further,
I have to talk about you." Sweeping her arm out to all the other scouts. "I
detected some energy readings around you all, plus some subspace pockets.
Am I right in assuming you used this energy to pull us out? It has to be a
great deal of energy and heat to open the portal. Also, one more thought
crossed my mind - this isn't your true forms is it?"

All of the scout's mouths were wide open. How in the world could their
secret be detected so easily - and this stranger found out after less than
half an hour. A thought then struck them - so that's what she did in
the bathroom.

"Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me. Mind transforming for me?"

Ranma didn't have any idea what they were talking about. Perhaps they were
cursed too?

"Here goes." The troop stood up and pulled out their henshin rods.
Ranma dismissed it as a magic trick, or they knew a little about Moose's art.
The next part however was different.

"Mercury Star Power Makeup!"
"Mars Star Power Makeup!"
"Venus Star Power Makeup!"
"Jupiter Star Power Makeup!"
"Moon Crystal Power Makeup!"

Ranma was speechless. A burning feeling then started in the back of his mind.
It had been itching there since he woke up, but now it started to effect
the conscious side of his brain. It grew into a pain, washing over his mind
like a tidal wave, implanting memories that weren't there. He then fell to
his knees, clenching his head, trying to contain himself. He couldn't even
concentrate enough to yell.

The rest of the group noticed and rushed to his side. He looked to be in
incredible pain. Then, it ended. They saw Ranma collapse forward, and
was unconscious. Luna, who was hiding in the rafters observing, jumped down
to examine him. She also observed a symbol on his forehead - the symbol of
the sun.

"Mercury, what happened?"

"I don't know... my computer shows he is perfectly healthy - better than
anyone I've seen."

"I know." Washu walked forward and laid a blanket over Ranma. "He just
adjusted to this universe. It appears he gained some new memories, and his
mind was having trouble adjusting to the strain. He'll be ok. Also,
he appears to have picked up some abilities similar to what you have."

A collective "WHAT!?" then sounded.

############################## OUTSIDE JUUBAN #################

A warp rift opened. Stepping through, Sakana breathed in the fresh
air.

"Ah, feels good to be back in natural air again. That space station was
getting too stifling for me."

Looking around, she floated down to the ground, 500 feet below.

"Kyah doesn't realize how big a threat I am to her. I'm sure she knows I
would gladly challenge her, but I can't directly. On this mission, hopefully
I can steal her army for my own purposes, before she even sees them."

She then slipped through the shadows toward the city.
