Disclaimer - Same as previous chapters.

This chapter was a little long at the halfway point, so I decided
to cut it off and leave chapter 10 at that. 11 will pick up
on Telleo. I need to remember not to get so carried away.

########### JUUBAN - WASHU'S LAB ###############################

The force field traps were set, and only needed a voice
command to activate. With those set, Amy and Washu began
to piece together the dimensional portal again, but at a much
greater pace since the hard work of figuring out how to make
one was done before. Along with those two in the lab, there
was always one other senshi, in their transformed states, hiding
in the lab to catch Mamoru. Ranma-chan had just gotten off
her eight hour shift, and was tired of doing nothing, but still
full of energy that wasn't being released. Five days had passed
since the three traveler's arrival.

Usagi and Ranma-chan sat on the steps to the Hiwaka shrine.
It was starting to approach sundown. Usagi sniffed, "I used to
watch the sundown with him."

Ranma wasn't used to these emotional talks. Preferring to talk
about taking action, or doing action was more her style. "We'll get
them back. We already have a plan."

"What if it isn't him? He was taken from me and we just laid him
to rest," Usagi curled her knees to her chest.

"I've been so close to loosing those around me, all I can do is
try the best I can." Flexing her right arm, "After all, the best
martial artist in the world wouldn't do less. And I am the
best."

Usagi looked over at the redhead and forced a grin. "Maybe you're
right."

"I am?"

Nodding, Usagi continued, "Of course. It doesn't help to just mope
around. It doesn't help." Standing, Usagi went a few steps down.
Looking back up at her companion, "Come on, let's head to my place
for dinner. I'm sure you don't want to hang around here all the time.
Tonight is Haruka's shift, thanks to Setsuna bringing in the outers.
It's too bad that her time powers couldn't see when he would come."

Ranma stood, "Thanks. It'll be good to flex my legs after sitting in
that lab."

As the two went down the street, Ranma was on the fence in her usual
pattern, Usagi glancing up at him. "I could never do that."

Ranma was asked about as much about her fence walking as his curse,
but didn't know what to say to this. "Uh, why not?"

Looking down at her feet, Usagi grumbled, "I'm a total clutz. I stumble
over my own feet just walking sometimes."

Leaning down, Ranma held her hand out, "Want to try?"

Usagi looked at the hand, then at Ranma's neutral face, then at the fence,
and finally arrived at her feet again. "I don't feel like right now,
thanks anyhow."

Shrugging, Ranma hopped down and the two girls continued walking to toward
Usagi's home. An idea popped up in Usagi's mind - one of her rarer moments.
"Would you train me?"

Showing the clutz to balance on the fence was one thing, but training
her in martial arts and her power was something else. She was a girl, and
he didn't want to hurt her. "You sure that's a good idea? I might, um..."

"Yes?"

"Uh, you might not be able to keep up..."

"And?"

"Um - I don't hit girls?"

Usually at this point Ranma would be batted into LEO, but instead was hit
with something he never had experience in this situation - Usagi's puppy
dog look. Her eyes were side, and sparking. A strange halo of cuteness
radiated around her head, and her mouth hinted at a sniffle that may
escape if she wasn't helped. Ranma herself was only able to duplicate the
effect to ice cream stops, and wasn't quite sure of it's power on herself
till this moment - she gave in.

"Ok." Raising her finger to emphasize the point, "but if it's too much for
you, we're going to hold off for a while. Understood?"

Pulling Ranma, she hugged him tightly. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
Letting go, the red-haired girl fell face first off the fence and into the
pavement. Usagi was jumping around in glee and didn't notice the twitching
martial artist behind her.

The sun had set about an hour before, and the park was mostly vacant. The
two had found a corner to transform and cut loose into the sky without
attracting too much attention.

Sailor Sun stood in front of Sailor Moon, in her regular form. "Ok, the
first thing we need to do is figure out how to get you back that power
you used a few nights ago. While we are trying to that, I'm going to try
to explore the finer points of this magic stuff."

Nodding, Usagi asked, "Do you know how I can do that? It just happens."

"Huh? Have you ever trained with your magic to figure out how it works?"

"No."

Sailor Sun face vaulted for the first time in a few thousand years. "You
have got to be kidding me!?" The blond shook her head in a negative.
Slumping her shoulders, Sailor Sun sighed out, "Ok. Lets start from the
beginning. Take a seat. This may take a while."

Under a large oak, the two got into a cross legged position, facing
each other. "From what I understand from my," Sailor Sun made quote marks
in the air, "Silver Millennium life," end quote, "the magic doesn't exist
in the planets we are all linked to. It exists everywhere, and the planets
only allow you to channel the power easier."

Although they had just started, Sailor Moon was starting to loose interest.
Sailor Sun gave her a quick plasma nick to wake her up. "Owie!"

"Pay attention. From that, I think your power increased when you accessed
that magic directly instead of through the moon."

Sailor Moon's head hung low, "But I don't remember how I did it."

"That's what we are here to figure out. Getting control over your current
powers will help you learn new skills." Smirking, "That's how I learned
martial arts, I become the best overnight you know." Sailor Sun then put
her hands up in front of her, and formed a ki ball between them. "This is
ki. I use this in my martial arts. It is kind of like magic, but instead
of coming from the outside world, it comes from inside of you."

Usagi was wide eyed, and bent over to look at the small glowing ball.
She stuck her finger out, stopping just a few inches from the energy.
"Can I touch it?"

"Sure. This is calm energy and won't hurt you."

Slowly moving her finger forward, she felt different as the energy flowed
into her. It was warm, and she felt she could do this.

Smirking, Sailor Sun commented, "It's easier to base ki off emotions.
This is my confidence. I know a guy that uses depression."

Taking her finger back, and putting her hands in the same position,
Sailor Moon said, "I'm going to try this with my magic. I've never been
able to use the magic like this before, but I'll try."

Concentrating hard, beads of sweat began to form on her head. She resisted
the urge to call out an attack name, and tried to find the magic flowing
to her like her sensei said. She slowly started to glow, and a breeze
flowed through the tree above them. Then she felt it - it was like all
around her a different plane of existence could be felt by looking within
her. It was vast, and streams of power flowed around the earth, trees,
through her. Focusing the energy through her body, she willed it into a ball
into this reality.

Across from her, Sailor Sun was amazed at how the power in Sailor Moon was
changing. Before, it was a simple transformation with no noticeable focus.
It had then felt like her body was a well spring, soaking up the energy around
her, and now she was like a lense and the irregular glob of rainbow light
in her palms flowed into and out of her body in wisps. Finally, Sailor
Moon opened her eyes and gasped at what she saw and the energy disappeared.
"I did it!"

"Congratulations. I think you may have taught me some things too when I
watched you. Now it's my turn."

Sailor Moon was excited over her success and wanted to see what her
companion would reveal. Still sitting, Sailor Sun concentrated within her
and sought to see what her student had learned. It came quickly, and
with her previous experience in ki, her feeling of how to perceive this
power proved very useful. Like Sailor Moon, the energy coursed around
everything - then a strange spark interested her in this vastness. It
as found in herself and had didn't seem like the rest of the free energy.
Pulling on this strand, she felt her body feel warm. Sailor Moon gasped,
and the Sailor Sun opened her eyes. Now, she was in his guy form. "Whoa.
Now this is cool." Realization then came full brunt - "I FOUND THE CURSE!
I CAN BE CURED!" After so long in searching, a freak accident through
the dimensions may have given him the cure.

"Let's take you back home. We can continue tomorrow."

Changing back to their from their sailor states, Ranma reverted
back disappointedly to her female form.. They walked back to Usagi's
home. After training, the growing teenagers were only interested in eating.
Dinner was eaten in silence, except for the usual small talk about school.
Ranma was introduced to Usagi's parents and little brother as a visiting
exchange student - which was part true. Shingo didn't let her off that
easily, and kept teasing his older sister about how her boyfriend was
doing. What surprised him though, was she didn't retort back and
instead kept quiet.

After the relatively quiet dinner, Ranma left to go back to the Hiwaka
shrine. He was so caught up in thinking about the events of the tonight,
he didn't notice taking a wrong turn. Only when he had reached
Tokyo Tower a few hours later did he realize his mistake, and his
communicator that Amy had fashioned for him went off. Flipping it out,
he found a corner to talk.

"What's up? Is he attacking?" Ranma whispered into the communicator. Being
in his guy form, he didn't want to be caught dead in public holding
something that girls used for makeup.

Mercury's face showed up, "YES!" Static fizzed across the screen and cleared
up. The view screen showed Amy had dropped the communicator and was
unleashing her own bubble attack. As the water spray attack went out, it hit
the screen and ended the video stream.

Ranma jumped to the top of a three story office building, and pulled out
his henshin rod. "Looks like it's time to show what the new me can do
in this form."

"Sun Galaxy Power Revised!"

Like most attacks and skills that Ranma learned, he modified them to
suit his needs, and adapted quickly. In the four days that he had
been with the magic of the Silver Millennium from this universe, he
experimented with it when out of site from the rest of the group.
The night before, he was trying to modify the magic to work with his
martial arts skills - they don't call it Anything Goes Martial Arts
for nothing. Now, he focused on the magic energy covering his body and
tried to change the outfit to something more fitting. The clothing changed
from the odd tux to a loose fitting ninja outfit, but try as he might,
the colors wouldn't go. It was still the white based of the fuku, and had
the red trim on the seams, and glittering orange at the cuffs. The most
important part of the outfit didn't change, the Sun Crystal Gauntlet. It
remained the same with it's jewels and golden appearance.

Calling on his vast reserves of power the transformation lent him,
his feet left the roof of the office complex. Plasma thousands of degrees
hotter than the air around him washed over his body, but leaving him
unaffected and gently swaying his hair. The tar on the building started to
bubble from the heat till Sailor Sun rapidly flew toward the direction the
other scouts were.

"If this guy is as changed as Washu says, they don't stand a chance
without me."

When he arrived in the air above the shrine, Sailor Moon made her
entrance jumping over the wall. The two paired up and went into the
shrine. Turning down the hallway, the went to the closet. Opening
the door, they were greeted with the sounds of battle and Sailor Jupitor
flying backward over their heads. She hit the wall behind, and slumped
unconscious to the floor.

"Take care of her Sailor Moon, I'm going to get this guy."

Sailor Moon put her hand on Sailor Sun's shoulder, "Don't hurt him. Just
get my Mamoru back."

"I promise." Turning, he jumped through the doorway and jumped from pile
of rubble to another, leaving after images. Finally, the scene
changed to Tuxedo Kamen holding Washu in the air by her hair. His
other hand was reared back like a spear to deal a finishing blow through
her chest. Acting fast, Sailor Sun let a ball of searing heat from
her glove and impacted the mound of rubble below the two. Tuxedo Kamen
tossed Washu to the side to land on the other wounded scouts that had shown
up - Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus, Sailor Uranus and Sailor Mars.

Tuxedo Kamen's eyes narrowed at his opponent. A growl came, "You."

Sailor Sun relaxed into a ready stance, "I'm Ranma Saotome, formally
known as Sailor Sun. I accept your challenge."

Flashing toward each other, they met in the middle and traded rapid blows.
Ranma concentrated on trying to get in some head blows to get the
thought crown off of Tuxedo Kamen's head, but was having little luck.
With the ki powerup he possessed, and his previous magic abilities, Tuxedo
Kamen was on par with Ranma's abilities.

The two separated and landed on opposite sides of the mostly demolished lab.
Water from various tanks that had broken was on the floor. The one that
Ranma stood in suddenly flash boiled as he powered up. Thinking, 'I can't
kill him, so I got to keep this heat under control. However, if I can
keep it focused enough, I can grab that crown."

Sailor Moon arrived at the battle during this powerup. Unawares to what
her battle partner was planning, she thought he was going to kill her love.
This time, she was able to bring out more power than regularly, but not
as much as during the battle where Tuxedo Kamen was initially lost. Her
training that night was bearing fruit already.

The powerups were being felt by a slowly wakening Washu. Holding her head,
"I'm still alive." Looking up, her continued state of being alive was
explained by the three powerful individuals facing off. Most of her
lab was destroyed, with most of the force fields. A quick visual inventory
showed there was only one still working, and the portal they were working
on was blasted to bits again. "If I can use that force field, I may be
able to give those to enough time to get that thought crown off." With
this thought, she kept low to the ground and started to make her way around
the perimeter of the fight to the other side of the lab.

Ranma made his move first. Jumping high into the air, he summoned a lance
with his glove. With the added reach, he may may be able to nick the crown.
Now if only he can avoid slicing the guy's head off.

Kamen, seeing the first of the two new arrivals jump, went toward the
still standing girl and tried to put a punch to her chest. Instead, it
was blocked with a magically reinforced shield. She had seen Saturn
perform something similar, and Sailor Moon was rapidly relearning to use
her magic.

Sailor Mercury was gaining consciousness, and seeing what the three were
doing, began to take readings. What she saw shocked her - another plain
of existance was nearly perfectly in line with this one, and most of the
alignment was coming from the three fighters.

Ranma saw his chance and came down between the two. Kamen was put on
the defensive and sent sharp ki missiles out to get some room to move.
Realizing that the white ninja was the most offensive of the two, he
changed targets. Fusing both magic and ki, he sent a home ki blast
toward Ranma. The combined two passed through walls unaffected to Ranma's
surprise and exploded when it collided with his back. Sailor Moon
was free to attack now, and tried her Moon Healing Escalation attack
toward both Kamen and Ranma. The other now conscious scouts were
amazed further when she sent the attack out without muttering a word
and getting both completely.

Unfortunately, it did not negate the effects of the thought crown. The
attack doesn't deal destructive damage, and Kamen was not knocked around
in the least. He turned to Sailor Moon and threw his ki enhanced cane.
Again her shield came up, and slowed the cane down. It still drove forward,
trying to push through the barrier. Kamen mentally struggled to push it
forward, while Sailor Moon called on more power to help free her love.

Sailor Mercury registered four powers in the last three seconds of the battle.
First, a now healed Ranma exploded from under the tons of debree that had
collapsed on him from the homing blast. This distracted Kamen slightly from
his struggle. Second, Sailor Moon synced perfectly with the energy plane
Mercury was monitoring and the barrier shield expanded. With Kamen's lack
of total concentration, the barrier pushed his attack back and slammed into
his. Third, Washu activated the last remaining force field behind Kamen, who
was then slammed into it. Finally, the thought crown broke on Kamen's head
shattered from the extreme stress and she saw two life readings from him,
where before she only saw one.

Aside from from the bubbling puddle of molten rock at Ranma's feet, the lab
was silent. Sailor Moon had collapsed from exhaustion, and Kamen was also
out cold in the force field containment.

Getting up, with her arm limp at her side, Sailor Mars trudged to Tuxedo
Kamen. "He has changed so much. Is it really him?"

He then started to wake, and let out a moan. Sailor Mars, to exhausted to
risk a fight, stepped back. Ranma was more then ready for round two,
and stood at the ready a short distance away.

The magical transformation around him faded away, and he again was Mamoru
Chiba. This relaxed them enough to detransform themselves. Ranma stayed
powered up, wondering if he could stay that way permanently - especially
sense he could keep his curse under control. He instead lowered the
temperature around him to normal levels.

Sailor Moon then woke up, and rushed to Mamoru's side. "Oh! Are you back?"

"Yes, meat ball head. I've changed a little though - mind if we go
someplace more comfortable to talk?"

Tears gushing forth, Usagi detransformed and sobbed into his shoulder,
and he tried to comfort her. Ranma, satisfied that everything was fine,
relaxed totally and went out of the lab to put on his usual clothes they
had found at the mall. The Sailor Sun clothing he changed to the rarest pair
of boxers ever.

Ami and Washu tended to everyone's injuries, while they waited for the
rest of the scouts to arrive. Mamoru didn't wish to explain everything
twice. He also was acting a little more uncomfortable around Usagi than
before.

Finally, Setsuna, Michiru and Hotaru arrived. Hotaru apologized for them,
"Sorry we are late. Setsuna-mama said you were ok, and we didn't need
to hurry."

The entire Silver Millenium crew was present. Setsuna had brought a special
sleeping green tea and knocked C-Ko out with it. Washu was banging her
head on the wall cursing herself why she didn't think of that sooner, while
Ranma surveyed the crowd from the corner. He hadn't been in the presence of
everyone at once - and he had only seen Setsuna once. Also, being in a crowded
room with unengaged females, and two cats somewhere on the property didn't
make him feel too comfortable. Now that things had settled down, they might
start to take an interest in him.

Across the room... Makoto's and Minako's eyes were starting to wander toward a
certain red shirted pigtailed martial artist.

Setsuna, feeling the time stream altering slightly, coughed to get everyone's
attention. "I need to ask Chiba what happened outside the time stream. I could
not find him while he was gone, and I don't understand your current state with
that woman that killed you."

Washu was amazed at how fast she deduced that, the rest of the crew were clueless.
"Let's let him explain everyone."

Sitting up with the blanket around him, Usagi held his hand. "It's ok. You can tell
us. We're behind you."

"You promise?"

Everyone nodded.

"This is what I remember. A few days ago, Tuxedo Mask was fighting Sakana and was
killed."

"Sakana? Who's that?" asked Ranma.

Haruka elbowed him, "That bitch you killed."

"Oh. How do you know her name?" Ranma asked again.

"Just getting to that Ranma. As I remember, Tuxedo Mask was killed. Rather painful.
Then, I also remember what happened afterward - you two killing Sakana. After that,
my memory is more muddled. Some guy used to call Master Diginux," Mamoru added
a little disgust to his voice at the mention of the name. "He said he brought
me back and combined me into a more well rounded toy. My mission was to bother
Washu, or kill her. Either would do. After that, you know the story." Glancing
over toward the senshi of time, "To answer your question, I was outside of this
universe, so I was outside of the time stream that you are guardian of."

Washu and Setsuna were nodding as if all their questions had been answered,
but the rest of the group was still wondering what that all just meant. Ranma,
more flustered than before, "But you didn't answer my question! How do you
know her?"

"That's because I am her."

Everyone tensed up at this.

"But I am also Mamoru. The entity known as Diginux combined me and her when we
died. Our souls were put into this one body when he snatched them when they
left this universe, and DNA from both our bodies was used to create this one
body. I may look like Mamoru, but my body strength is Sakana's." Looking down,
he lowered his voice. "I'm sorry for causing you all so much trouble and killing
your boyfriend Usagi. After meeting Mamoru, I have changed so much."

Washu was getting edgy, "Diginux... I remember some old scientist I lost on
a chase long ago. If I remember, I tricked him into some technology defunct
world where his powers were useless. If it is him, we must stop him, else
all of the worlds - Ranma's, mine, yours, C-Ko's - are all doomed to disappear
when he is tired of them."

Setsuna began to sweat and her eyes narrowed, "Not good, a new threat and I can't
even see when he may arrive. We must strike while he doesn't know we are on to
him."

"Yes. Mamoru, Sakana - what do I call you?" Washu shook her head in frustration.

"Just call me Mamoru, it is his outside appearance."

"Right. Can you open up that portal still if you separated?"

"Well, Mamoru couldn't, but Sakana could since that is how she got here in the
first place - wait. YOU MEAN WE CAN SEPARATE!?" His fists clenched.

"Yes. I think I can clone you - it's just the moving Sakana's soul to the new
body. After all, I am the greatest scientific mind in the universe." Two dolls came
up on Washu's shoulders and proclaimed, "WASHU IS THE GREATEST!"

"Thank you Washu!" Mamoru and Usagi hugged in happiness, only to have Washu
tap on his shoulder. "What is it?"

"But I won't do it unless you call me Little Washuuuu!"

Outside, passersby on witnessed the Hiwaka shrine hill shake from
a massive facefault.

Everyone returned home to get their rest now that guarding the lab wasn't needed.
Washu and Mamoru returned to a lab that was being miraculously restored by
thousands of robots to work through the night. The next day they all planned
to depart to save the rest of the kidnapped individuals with Sakana's help,
while the outers stayed behind to watch for trouble that Diginux may stir up.
According to Setsuna, there wasn't to be any trouble caused by this universe's
villains for some time.

As the first rays of light came over the eastern sunrise, Rei was woken
by knocking at her window. It was a late night, and now was one of those
occasions she hated being situated at the center of the senshi's meeting places.
Ranma was greeted by a knocking on the guest door by Washu, but didn't wake
up so easily. It took a levitating bucket of cold water cascading on him
to jump him out of bed. However, he remained in his male form.

"Clever. Didn't think you'd figure out how to change your curse that
way," Washu slipped out before running down the hall, away from a shivering
Ranma.

A few minutes later, the rest of the group was there. Minako had brought Artimis,
but kept the angry feline in a box, saying it was for Ranma's and the cat's
protection. Usagi hadn't been so thoughtful, and when she barged in fifteen minutes
late, Ranma ran through the lab door, that happened to have Mamoru standing there.

"Usagi! Why didn't you think about Ranma!?" Rei yelled out.

"I forgot!" Usagi then had a raspberry competition with the young shrine priest.
The argument ended when they realized everyone had left them to go to the lab
and witness the separation of Mamoru and Sakana.

In front of them all were two, twenty foot tall blue semi-transparent tubes.
In the right tube Mamoru stood as Tuxedo Kamen. The other was Sakana's motionless
body, with her red gi and green scarf they had picked out during the night.
Washu was at a large control panel, and everyone was in stands to the right like
spectators. The two cats were put on baby-sitting duty with C-Ko playing in with
them still in the shrine.

Makoto and Minako were on either side of Ranma, and starting to slowly edge
closer in. Ranma wasn't noticing just yet, but was shaking his head in why
Washu was making this like some sort of sporting event.

"Ok everyone, this is it!" Washu proclaimed. Raising her hand above her head,
with her index finger extended, she swooped it down to push a large crab shaped
button labeled 'GO'.

Arcs of electricity sparked between the two tubes, while in the tube, smaller
rings of energy danced up and down Mamoru's body. He didn't yell in pain, but
stood as still as possible for the machine to work. After about a minute of
the energy going up and down his body faster and faster, the same type of energy
then began to appear on Sakana's body. Finally, the two bodies burned brightly
and everyone shielded their eyes. When the light died down, Sakana and Mamoru
were successfully separated. Washu then said the one thing nobody wanted to hear,
"Oops."

Looking closer at the two tubes, the girls' eyes all grew large, and Ranma looked
up at the ceiling. During the reaction, Washu forgot that the final
energy transfer would burn all of clothes off the tubes' occupants.

After a quick change, the red faced Sakana and Mamoru sat around the table.
Mamoru spoke up first, "Now, I realize that Sakana did kill me, but I have forgiven
her. I would like to ask that you do so too. While we were together, she
shared with me what her life was like, and we worked out how to turn her life
around."

Sakana looked down at her hands that were resting on her lap. "I used to serve
one named Queen Kyah. She took me in after I was bounced from client to client.
I was raised to be an assassin since age six."

Amy gasped at this revelation, and leaned over to put her hand on Sakana's shoulder.
"I'm so sorry. I hope that we can somehow help you."

Still looking at her hands, Sakana sighed out, "Thanks. It's been a while since
I've been with normal people." Ranma snickered at this, but no one paid attention.
"Mamoru has agreed to take me in like a sister. He is very nice, and I hope
I can do him all justice by letting me help you." Standing, Sakana started
to go outside. "Follow me, we need to get to Kyah's before your friends are
lost forever."

The inner senshi, Ranma, Washu and C-Ko holding two cats in sealed boxes followed
her into the shrine courtyard. Making sure no one else was around, Sakana
put her arm forward and let a focused bit of energy out. Washu and Amy took
careful readings, noting how she released such a small amount of energy to
open the portal where in their portals they needed large amounts.

"Everyone make sure you are as low of powerlevel as you can before we go in.
The energy may tear you apart if you aren't when we go into the portal." Ranma,
being the only one in a transformed state, did so. He reverted to a she, the
last 'normal' state she was in before transforming into Sailor Sun.

Grabbing hold of Mamoru's hand, she motioned for everyone else to do the same.
"We need to stay together. If you wander off, who knows which universe you'll
end up in. You may want to tie those boxes to something."

The chain of individuals went into the portal, which then closed behind them.

What they found before them was an empty void. The different multicolored
universes were like blobs, about twenty feet in diameter at most. Sakana was
in the lead and applied minute amounts of ki to fly toward her home universe
where the others were taken. They also noticed almost totally transparent lines
going between the blob they just emerged from to three other blobs in the far
distance, which must have been the three traveler's homes. From the one Sakana
was going toward, millions of these lines came out in every direction.
When Amy tried to comment on these, it came out muted in the strange plane between
worlds, but found no problems breathing in the air, so the trip was done in silence.
