---------------- CHAPTER 3 - Revelations ------------

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

Ranma was sleeping down the hall. Nothing seemed physically wrong with him.
After insuring that Ranma and the other girl, who still hadn't awoken after
being transported out of the dimensional rift, were safe, the scouts in their
regular forms and Washu congregated around the fire.

Although Rei knew that she could probably get some readings from the sacred
fire on the matter at hand, getting it in plain Japanese made it much easier
to decipher the meaning.

"Miss Washu-"

"No!! It's Little Washu!"

Amy cleared her throat, "Little Washu, I'm interested in what you said about
Ranma gaining skills similar to our own."

"Hey, don't forget us Amy!" Usagi whined. "I want to know too! Does this
mean a sailor scout can be a guy?"

"I have no idea exactly a sailor scout is, or if Ranma is even one.
If I remember, I left the moon kingdom before you showed up. All I know
is he has power readings similar to what you have. Let me explain.
My theory, which I now believe is true, and I'm never wrong, is that
every universe has threads of power centered around a persons soul. As
a person gains power and influences the future of their particular world,
these power threads congregate around their soul. However, when they move
from their universe, most of the power stays with their soul. Upon arriving
in a different universe, these power threads intertwine with the new universe.
The history is slightly changed to accommodate the new person. Finally, to
explain the new powers Ranma has - and even me - the new universe gives some
of its own power threads to the person's soul. Not just any power threads,
but those that resemble most closely what their tier was in their own
universe."

Taking a deep breath, Washu brought her computer screen out. The screen
enlarged to about 6 feet wide. Ami hid the Mercury computer away with it's
puny screen. On it was a meter display with various readings
beside it - the meaning of which no one but Washu could decipher.

"Here, a visual display may help. At the top is the ultimate power rating,
which is reserved for the gods and dimensional sentiences. Next is the
power champions, which may or may not be good. Below that are the various
strong fighters, thinkers, leaders of the universe. Finally, are the regular
folk that are content to live their lives they way they are. I believe you
scouts are in the power champions category, along with Ranma. You all play
very important rolls in the worlds that have profound effects on the future."

"What about you Little Washu? You said you also have some new powers." Minako
asked.

"I fit in the third power level - which I'm disappointed at, but can do nothing
about. My new skills are it appears I was an advisor and scientist in the
moon kingdom. In my own universe, I am the most brilliant genious in the
universe! Here, it appears I have picked up this universe's equivalent of that
roll."

"You were in the moon kingdom?!" choked Usagi, spewing crumbs over everyone.
Rei had brought out some extra rolls since they were having an extra long
meeting.

"Not directly. Before I came here, that history didn't exist. But, when
I arrived, the history was altered to accept my power tier bindings. You
wouldn't have noticed it since your memories would have been changed too."

Artemis looked at the ground thinking. 'This woman was right. I remember
someone like her in the moon kingdom. I don't recall what life was like
without her there. The lead scientific advisor helped create some of the most
powerful artifacts in the moon kingdom - including crafting the moon scepter.
She was almost immortal, some supposed her age was over 20,000 years - which
explained how she could amass so much knowledge. However, she disappeared
before her final creations, the henshin rods, could be assigned to their
owners. He then twitched his tail involuntarily. There were also those
experiments she liked to perform on me. Being tied to those tables and being
probed with who knows what. The probes that used energy were the most
uncomfortable. Causing my fur to stand on end, tied to a table - I looked
like a fur ball with straps around little stubs that peeked out.'

"Little Washu, you aren't going to do any experimenting that may
interfere with our work, are you?" asked the white cat nervously.

A gleam appeared in Washu's eyes. 'Awe yes. Those experiments were always
fun. Tenchi always like to act afraid of being in her lab. Artemis did too.
However, I'm pretty sure they enjoyed being subjected to whatever I threw at
them and wanted me to continue.'

"Experiments... don't worry little one. I'll try to hold back, a little."

Artemis cringed and took a step back.

Luna spoke up to break the awkward silence. "I observed a symbol on Ranma's
head before he passed out. It was of a yen-yang symbol with a star
surrounding it. Now that I've seen it, my memories of it's owner are
returning. If memory serves me right, there was the senshi of the sun had
the star symbol, but I don't remember the yen-yang symbol being part of it."

---

Ranma was waking up. "Oh... my head. Feels like I took Mallet Airlines
twenty times in one minute. That was a interesting dream to say the least.
All that stuff about sailor scouts and... C.c.c ats!" On the blue blanket
he found himself in, there was a white piece of hair - his senses said it
could only belong to a c-c-ca - them. Wide awake and in a battle stance,
Ranma scanned the room. Who knows where they where at - lucky they didn't eat
a piece of him while he was sleeping.

Outside he heard voices - very familiar ones from his dream. Oh my. Almost
fainting, Ranma braced himself. Here, a master of martial arts, the best of
the best, and almost fainting. All off the dreams and memories he was seeing
were true - but also they weren't. In his head were two memories - two lives. Was it something to do with coming through the dimensional warp gate?

Another part of the memories then crossed through his consciousness. "I'm
Sailor Sun." Feeling out, he tried to pull out the rod that his memories told
him should be there. It wasn't. One part of his mind was relieved that it
may not be true, the other was screaming that something was wrong if the rod
wasn't there and must be dealt with.

Walking out of the room, Ranma saw the scouts outside. With the memories
and experiences of the past, he was able to use ki and magic abilities that
he hadn't used before during his stay at the Tendos. Also, his experiences
in this life opened up some of the powers of Sailor Sun without transforming.
Another power was felt just beyond the scouts - one he didn't recognize. The
emotions coming from the ki source weren't those of a killer, but did have a
sort of malicious feel none the less. 'I better not give this individual the
idea I'm on to them and try to act normal.' Correcting himself, 'Well, as
normal as I can be being a martial artist with a Jusenkio curse that just
walked through a dimensional warp gate and gained a set of memories from a
life of a female super being that existed over a thousand years ago. Awe,
the heck with it.'

"Gotcha!" Ranma charged forward through the brick wall and attacked the
person in the shadows. He also managed to find out there was a pond on the
other side of the yard.

########################### ON BOARD THE SHIP "SHOGO IV" ################

"Where we headed? If you don't mind, let's try to avoid Jurian space."

Ryoko leaned over Komosauro and examined the cockpit. It wasn't like
anything she had ever seen. Cloaking, temporal weapons, black hole
torpedoes, nano morph armor - this thing outclassed any ship she had
seen. And every question she asked Komosauro was replied with it
was normal and not out of the unusual.

After about twenty minutes, Tenchi started to stir in the seat next
to her. This guy may have saved them, but she wasn't about to let
Tenchi out of sight. The other two were just bystanders and could stay
in the medical bay for all she cared.

Tenchi was clothed still in his regular work cloths, and even had a few
dirt spots on his pants from working in the carrot fields. What surprised
Ryoko is he had the sword still on him. He must have grabbed it after
Sasami's stew was launched into the air and landed on its cook.

--- IN THE MEDICAL BAY

"Vegeta! Calm down! If we are on a ship, we don't want to end up out there!"

Komosauro glanced at Ryoko. "Sounds like the rest of my guests have woken
up." Nodding toward Tenchi. "You take care of him. I'm going to look after
the two in the back."

Pushing the autopilot switch and locking it in with the security pad,
Komosauro walked back.

"Hello my name is Komo-urk!"

Vegeta held the man up off the floor and gave him a little squeeze. Not
enough to seriously injure him, but enough to pass him out. Surprisingly,
the man didn't and instead powered up, forcing Vegeta to let go of his
hold. Without powering up himself, he would have been burnt slightly.

"Now hold on there! I'm going to explain this ONLY once."

"Good. I don't take kindly to being kidnapped, and won't spare your life
if you refuse to explain. Make it short."

"Now Vegeta, I'm willing to listen. My name's Goku. You are?"

"Komosauro. This is the ship Shogo IV. I rescued you two and two others
that are up front. I currently have the ship on autopilot, so let's go
eat and we can discuss what is happening in the universe, and how you fit
into it all. Follow me." Turning, his cape flew up and nearly snapped
Vegeta in the face. Goku got a slight grin at this, glad Vegeta was
getting a taste of his own medicine for once.

Going down the hall, Komosauro peered his head through the cockpit door.
"Hey you two-uh, uhm - Ryoko..." Although he was a warrior of unusual caliber,
trained by the best dark martial arts masters - his personal life was
lacking somewhat. He could act all smooth, but actually getting intimate was
something else. Seeing Tenchi intertwined, trying to escape from
Ryoko's intertwining, turned his face bright red. Tenchi noticed someone
watching and his eyes grew large.

"Ryoko! Someone's here! Let me go!"

"Tenchi..." Taking her finger, she ran it in a circle on her victim's
stomach, tickling Tenchi at the same time and keeping any escape attempts
he was trying totally uncoordinated.

"Despicable. You aren't telling me these two are the other warriors that
were taken with me and Kakarott?"

Ryoko noticed this and went from playtime mode to fight Ayeka mode. She
floated up to Vegeta, stopped, put a red glow in her eyes, and phased through
the three standing at the cockpit entrance. Without looking back, she growled,
"I suppose you want to back that insult up?"

Everyone but Tenchi were stunned. Although Komosauro had seen her phasing
capabilities before, it was unnerving to see someone with daemonic eyes
walk right through you.

Being awake since the ship warped, Ryoko knew the ship a little better than
her companion kidnapees. Leading the pack into the dining area, she was
impressed with it's furnishings. While the rest of the ship was very barren
and contained only the essentials needed for a cruiser, the
dining area was very comfortable. A leather couch was on one side, which
could seat about four and have room to spare. It wrapped around the
corner, with a large view screen taking up most of the far wall.
Fluff brown carpet covered the whole room, except for about a meter in from
the door, where people were expected to remove their footware. Beside
the door was the food station, but nothing resembling a refrigerator. It
looked just like an inset counter.

After removing their shoes (and after much persuasion by Goku to Vegeta)
they sat down.

"Being kind of new to this universe, you probably don't know how to operate
the food generator. To get your food, just walk up to it, think what you
want, and push the button. It uses a neural reader - which is also used
in several government locations so be careful what you think when around
those buildings. Fortunately, they are easy to detect since they irradiate
a lot of ESP waves."

Walking up to the counter, Komosauro pushed the button and materialized
something that looked like stew, but with squid like meat. Goku
was next, anxious to delve into the feast of his dreams. Rice balls,
a monster cooked turkey, and a tower of other food appeared. The counter
couldn't contain it all, resulting in much materializing in midair.
Fortunately, Goku caught it all - eating some of it as it appeared above
his head. He set it on the table, and commenced eating everything at
an astonishing rate. Tenchi and Ryoko, being used to some of the dinner
free for alls delved into Goku's feast. Vegeta just leaned against
the wall across from the couch, grumbling and staring at the threesome
that were enjoying themselves.

Three trips to the regenerator later, the group was full and went started
to get serious.

"All right, now that we have taken care of our stomachs, we can discuss
the matter at hand. I am a free knight. I have trained for about 300
years in the dark arts, and some of the light powers. I can sense that
while you have come from a different dimension, Goku and Vegeta, you
have extensive knowledge of the light powers that put my knowledge to
shame. Raw power I may have, but don't have much technique in yielding
it - hence I have to enhance the power with my dark powers but for good.
Being a free knight, I do as I please, but do so to save others and
insure the balance of power in this universe. Queen Kyah kidnapped you
from your respective universes using energy you all generated. With
you trapped, she would have manipulated your mind using the reverse
of ESP waves. Instead of reading, she would write to your mind new
memories that put you in her service willingly. After gathering enough
forces, she would attack her former husband's fortress, Emperor Gothax.
One of the two betrayed eachother, and he controls approximately a third of
the galaxy as a result, but doesn't seem to be evil, nor good. I'm still
trying to figure out his intentions."

Gesturing toward Tenchi, "I know about the powers of everyone else,
but you. I can't detect a single bit of unusual energy from you, nor
have you shown an unusual ability. How did you end up here?"

"Um.. Ryoko got in a little disagreement with Ayeka. I ended up
in the middle of it."

"Hahaha. Sounds like girl troubles to me. So Tenchi, you quite
the ladies man I take it? How many have you swept off their feet?"

"Hey!" Ryoko cut in. "Tenchi has eyes only for me. I'm just trying
to convince him we were meant for each other. The other five free
loaders just keep interrupting."

At the word of five, plus Ryoko, all going for Tenchi's heart,
Goku, Komosauro, and Vegeta face vaulted, shaking the ship. Up
front, the computer had to make a course correction.

"I'll have to find out what your secret is," Komosauro laughed
while giving Tenchi a strong pat on the back - sending Tenchi flying
forward and landing at Vegeta's feet.

`I've got to keep an eye on Komosauro. He's acting just as carefree
as Kakorot, strong, but not as naive. This could make him just as
dangerous.` thought Vegeta.

A beeping then chimed in, signaling to the captain of the ship
to return to the cockpit.

"Looks like we are approaching our destination. I have some contacts
on the surface of the planet Telleo. We need to upgrade the ship's
capabilities before returning to the station to rescue the others, and try
to find a way to return you to your respective dimensions. Oh, and I'll need
you to all get jobs to help pay for some of the expenses." Komosauro
had backed off a way before saying this, expecting some sort of reaction
- and wasn't disappointed.

Ryoko and Vegeta both flared up sending out a wave energy that sprayed the
remaining food all over the place, "What!?"

Goku had a true look of terror on his face, something Vegeta wasn't used
to seeing from his arch rival.

Tenchi was the only one to give anything close to a normal reaction,
before jumping up and trying to restrain Ryoko.

Komosauro wasn't there, having hightailed it to the cockpit.
