Ranma 1/2 Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Tenchi Muyo Fan Fiction ❯ Project II: Saiyan Ranma ❯ Face/Off ( Chapter 8 )

Skuld was sleepy, very sleepy; after going through almost a week of non-stop debugging the place around the park where she met the `Omega X' because of his presence. She asked everyone around if they knew anyone about this `Omega X' and she got the same response. They didn't know him, they never heard of him and Venus asked if he was cute. Skuld blushed a bit when she answered Venus' question.

 

“Well, he was dark, tall, and his face was a bit good-looking...”

 

She should be angry at this Omega X! He caused a lot of trouble by appearing, but she couldn't stay mad at him any longer. He sent an affectionate e-mail [Skuld wondered how he got her e-mail address] apologizing about his actions, and sent him a cute electronic telegram about ice cream.

 

Skuld yawned. She hasn't slept that much and contrary to popular belief, goddesses need their beauty sleep. Even with the ice cream in her hand, her visions were beginning got fade. She droned as she drowsily tried to focus on the keyboard. No use. Her head drooped and she fell asleep in the keyboard, pressing a few critical buttons.

-| Project II: Saiyan Ranma |-

 

-| Chapter 08: Face/Off |-

 

Ranma positioned himself in the ground, legs spread out and shirtless. He was breathing in a relaxed manner and sweat was visible in his bare chest.

 

Urd was aside, watching Ranma try to gather his energy. She also noticed a sudden tightness in her goddess cloak, which was absurd. Her cloak was very loose and comfortable, but at the sight of Ranma's bare and muscled chest was giving her hot reactions.

 

Experienced as she was, she knew what reaction it was. It was a sexual reaction, lust and all other things which make her want to take on the wild horse and ride him until she would come to an orgasm. Urd shook her head. In circumstances like now, she shouldn't think like that. She was teaching Ranma her final lesson. She was going to teach him the a powerful move Son Goku could do [not blow up the world though!]. A ki blast.

 

Ranma was gathering every feeling he had. Confidence, happiness, peace, nervousness and he felt that if he could only tap it once, he would be able do what he needed to do.

 

He failed. He, the great Ranma, failed for the first time to gather enough energy. Urd said that he could gather his feelings to produce great power. He fell down to one knee. What was wrong? What did he need to do? He opened his eyes and saw Urd was about to approach him. He stood up quickly.

 

He won't fail her. After all the things she did for him, after all the time he went through with her, he won't give up. He was confident enough to do the task. He had to do it, to show Urd that she should be proud of him.

 

Ranma's body began to power up as flicker of energy aura came forth like a flame around him. Urd's eyes widened. The power build was strong, stronger than hers and it was continuing to build up. She smiled. Finally, her first student graduated.

 

“Ranma, I want you to fly,” Urd ordered. “And once you are in the sky, let the energy flow to your hands, let them build up, aim at the sky and throw all your energy upwards.”

 

Ranma nodded, and jumped. His aura didn't flicker and he hovered in the air, and waited for a moment. He let his energy come towards his hand, and was pleasantly surprised when he felt the energy transfer almost at once.

 

Urd's eyes widened more when she saw the energy build up in the hand almost at once. Not even Son Goku could do that as it took time to build up energy for a blast.

 

Ranma didn't think anything was wrong, and somehow, he knew what he was supposed to do.

 

“KAMEHAMEHA RAY!” he shouted and an enormous ki blast erupted from his hands. Like a rocket booster, the energy was thick after released from his hand but went thinner as it passed after that. The ray was more powerful than the wave as the blast went straight towards the sky, and surrounded by the line was a spiral of energy going around the ray, adding more power.

 

Urd whistled. She looked really calm, but inside, she was very scared. The power was enough to kill powerful kamis. She silently thanked herself that Ranma was a pure soul, and he was in her side. She also thanked his father [although she still detested the way Genma put Ranma through the neko-ken] that he taught his child of being a martial artist, to defend the weak.

 

Ranma landed cleanly on the ground and smiled. “How was that Urd?”

 

Urd smiled, proud of him. “I told you to throw all your energy upwards. If you did that, you wouldn't be standing! How dare you disobey your sensei?!”

 

Ranma made a face. “But Urd, if I did throw all my energy, I would miss the Slayers today!”

 

“True, true,” Urd admitted. “So, how about it squirt, race ya to the TV?”

 

“You might trip and break those sexy legs of yours, you old hag...” Ranma smirked.

 

Urd blushed a bit, but recovered at once as he raised Ranma towards the living room. (He called me sexy...) Urd happily thought. They reached the TV room and Ranma opened the TV. They were a bit early, as Yu Yu Hakusho was already done and ending credits were showing. After that, it will be Slayers.

 

Urd wrapped her arms around Ranma as they watched, and even though Ranma acted like he didn't notice, he felt safe with her. Together, they watched another action-packed, side-splitting humor of Slayers...

 

=Time Gate=

 

Pluto couldn't believe her eyes. Just one moment, the time lines of Crystal Tokyo was going strong at 85% then, just vanished.

 

Trying to figure out what went wrong, she tried to contact her future selves, but no avail. It's just like they vanished. Pluto hated crisis like these. They tend to strike in the most serious manner and were undetectable.

 

(The saiyan!) Pluto thought drastically. It must be him! Who else in the world could compare his power?

 

She felt nervous. She took on a saiyan how many centuries ago, and she lost. How could she make sure she would win this time?

 

Her head snapped up. Of course! She had the Sailor Senshi at her side now! With the combined powers of the Sailor Senshi, they could win!

 

But how could she convince the Inners that the saiyan was responsible for the disappearance of Crystal Tokyo? After all, the evidence she holds could not even melt ice?

 

The Outers! Of course, how could she forget them? She could convince at least two of them to help her get rid of the saiyan! And if they could convince Saturn to join, they would have an extra power boost against the saiyan, and if she is lucky, Saturn could convince the inners to help them.

 

(Yes...) Pluto thought. (It's time to move.)

 

=Back to Ranma=

 

Slayers finished, and Ranma and Urd were clutching their sides laughing. Lina was in a middle of a fight when the wandering priest, came in, commented about her breasts which made the battle ensue. The Angry Lina Inverse tried to fry [unsuccessfully] Xellos, but he got away and Lina was left alone, in a towel, and the peeping tom successfully got away while she was distracted.

 

“That - was - oh goodness - so good!” Ranma laughed.

 

“Yeah, did you see what Xellos said?”

 

“You mean, `Why Lina, you haven't drunk that much milk lately have you? I told you it would help you get a more appropriate size...'” Ranma said, copying Xellos. Urd laughed even harder.

 

“Urd, Ranma, would you do me a favor?” Belldandy's head appeared in the living room. “I'm going shopping so please take care of the house. I left something on the stove, so please take care of it.”

 

Ranma's head perked up. “Um, Belldandy, could I just do the shopping?”

 

Urd growled. “Ranma, are you trying to avoid me?” and she jumped to Ranma and gave him a head lock.

 

Ranma frowned. “No! I just want to have a perfect lunch! I mean, I did a Ki blast, it drained me a bit, I'm hungry, and remember the time we had to guard the cooking food? We almost burned the house!”

 

Urd bit her lip. “Yeah, but that was an accident!”

 

“Do you want another burned meal?” Ranma asked.

 

There was a time, during the afternoon, after school, that Belldandy asked the two figures to guard the cooking food. Not knowing what to do, Ranma and Urd accidentally set the whole kitchen on fire, and not wanting Belldandy to get angry [it's usually the calm ones which are very dangerous] they pretended that the burned food was delicious.

 

Urd shook her head at the memory. No, she didn't want burned food. She released Ranma.

 

“Good,” Ranma replied. “Belldandy, I'll go shopping for you. Give me a list and let me do buy the stuff.”

 

“Are you sure Ranma-kun?” Belldandy asked. “well, okay... Here is the list...”

 

“Don't worry Urd,” Ranma said, looking back at the goddess of the past. “I'll be back soon as I can. Don't start eating without me!”

 

Urd took her tongue out and Ranma gave her a smirk and went out.

 

Urd couldn't help but feel something was wrong...

 

RING! RING!

 

“Urd, could you answer that please?” Belldandy's voice came from the kitchen.

 

Urd forced herself up. After laughing her sides open, giving Ranma a headlock, she was really tired. Picking up the phone, she greeted Skuld with somewhat more intensity than she planned.

 

“Hey you old bag! What's you're problem?”

 

Urd became irritated. “Nothing, just being tired. So, why are you calling, you brat?”

 

“Shut up! I just wanted to say that I'm not going to have lunch today. Something came up and I have things to fix.”

 

“Well, that's good news for me!” Urd said. “What did you do this time Skuld? Hacked NASA by mistake?”

 

“I deleted an important file...” Skuld whispered. “Oh, Pluto is going to be so pissed.”

 

“The immortal? Why?”

 

“Deleting her dreams can make an old person cranky, someone like you should know!”

 

“What did you say?”

 

The two continued to bicker on the phone.

 

=Streets of Juuban=

 

Belldandy bought most of her stuff in Juuban since it was very near, especially when there were mirrors everywhere. Ranma, being a mere saiyan, could not use mirrors, TVs or water like his goddess friends. He flew towards the sky, the clouds covering him and landed somewhere in a tall building, and just continued jumping from there.

 

Ranma landed neatly behind two girls, and no one noticed his landing. They were too busy haggling prizes off vegetables, fish and meat.

 

Looking at his list, Ranma realized that he was buying a whole week worth of food. He needed to buy at least three kilos of whole chicken, a few kilos of rice and a few dozen eggs. Ranma was wondering by know how Belldandy could even carry such immense heavy burdens. Sure, his body and training made carrying even heavy kilograms as carrying a potato, but he wondered how Belldandy, a calm nice lady could carry all this.

 

“IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE! FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHOSE INNOCENCE IS BEING PERSECUTED BY THE LIKES OF YOU!” said a voice in the street. Ranma paid no attention.

 

He was in the middle of trying to figure out what was the difference between fresh and old tomatoes. What kind of potatoes should he buy?

 

“WE, THE SAILOR SENSHI, WILL STOP YOU FROM DOING YOUR EVIL!”

 

Ranma tried to ask the people around him for tips, but somehow, he noticed that everyone was gone.

 

“HEY! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!”

 

Ranma turned around and faced 9 girls, each with very short mini - no, micro skirts and they were staring at him in an unusual manner.

 

“Hey, are you doing a fund raising?” Ranma asked them.

 

The Sailor Senshi gave him a very confused look. Fund raising?

 

Ranma shrugged. Maybe they were doing a fund raising, but it wasn't his business. He still kept his attention to the tomatoes.

 

Sailor Moon was getting steamed. How dare the boy, err, saiyan ignore her like that. Ever since Pluto said that Crystal Tokyo disappeared, she joined the fray.

 

Minako and Makoto were harder to persuade. They thought that the saiyan was too cute to be a bad guy. Pluto had to remind them the enemies they faced. Some of them were very handsome. Although not yet fully convinced, they joined the fray as well.

 

Rei and Ami readily joined the fray, although for different reasons. Ami knew that a person with so much power was dangerous. Rei, on the other hand, wanted to burn the saiyan.

 

Michiru joined par request of Pluto. Although her feelings were not for her duties, she still felt that they could have made a mistake. Haruka on the other hand, wanted to crush the saiyan for embarrassing her in the park.

 

Hotaru joined them since Pluto explained that Ranma's powers might kill them. She didn't want that. They were her friends, and she would stand up for them against anything, although, like Michiru, felt that this was a mistake.

 

Setsuna was smiling really evilly. She was expecting to find the saiyan after careful extraction of time lines and intricate weave searching, but when Ranma went out to shop alone, the power of the goddesses were not with him. If they were with him, the only way for Setsuna to find him is to run into him in the street.

 

Ranma decided to get the hard tomatoes. He was a bit sure they would last longer, which was a wise choice. He weighed them and looked for the cashier and noticed that he was gone as well.

 

“What in the world is going on? Is it holiday today?” Ranma asked to no one in particular.

 

The other people were purposely avoiding the Sailor Senshi, and were praying they wouldn't cause too much property damage. Although they do fight evil, they did tend to overdo it.

 

“WORLD SHAKING!” Uranus shouted. She could take a saiyan beating her in strength. She can take the insults he gave, but she was absolutely angry at the boy's ignorance in their presence.

 

Ranma's martial arts training gave him reflexes other people don't have, and with his saiyan body, it gave him like an automatic alarm and kinda sixth sense. It was more than enough to make Ranma jump out of the way.

 

“What the heck is your problem? And... Hey, wait a minute! You guys look familiar!” Ranma exclaimed. “Aren't you the ones in the ice cream parlor?”

 

Setsuna froze. This saiyan knew them?

 

“What is it with your costumes? I got to admit, you guys look kinda sexy, but isn't it against the law to expose oneself?”

 

“E-expose?” Rei gritted. How dare does this guy think that about them! He's a pervert! “TAKE THIS! MARS FLAME SNIPER!”

 

Ranma just frowned and side stepped. “What the heck are your problems? Look, I don't know what I did, okay, but I'm kinda late now and I need to finish my shopping. Belldandy would kill me if I don't come back at once and if you want a fight, maybe later...” and he walked away.

 

Setsuna got mad. Really mad, and if Setsuna is mad, even Saffron had to pay attention.

 

“HOW DARE YOU IGNORE US? DEAD SCREAM!”

 

Ranma turned back and said: “I'm not ignoring you...” and he didn't finish as Pluto's attack hit him directly in the face and it pushed him towards a wall. The wall grunted at the impact and then, fell down on Ranma.

 

The Sailor Senshi cheered. Pluto's attack was one of the strongest and the saiyan was hit directly. No way would it have survived.

 

A cough. That was all was needed to stop the cheering as Ranma, standing up from the rubble, sneezed as the dust flew a bit near his nose.

 

“Ouch, that hurt...” Ranma muttered, scratching his head. “They don't make walls like they used to...”

 

That grilled Pluto up. Normally, she wouldn't, but of course, she was the feared Senshi of Time. Her attacks made her respected and most enemies who tasted them were too injured to complain. Not this one though. He complained that the wall hurt him more than her attack.

 

The others were getting nervous. The saiyan survived without a scratch. It further gave them the proof they needed. The Saiyan was too powerful.

 

Ranma was getting angry at them, but for different reasons. The dead scream attack vaporized all his items. He wasted half an hour getting those things for nothing.

 

“Hey, what the heck are your problems? If you don't like me to shop there, tell me!” Ranma shouted at the 9 Senshi.

 

“What are you talking about?” Haruka shouted at the boy.

 

“Aren't you like the mascots of a shopping mall? Do you attack buyers who buy from other stores? Or are you just here for an anime convention? You guys sure could appear in Slayers...” Ranma said.

 

“Mascots? Anime convention? Slayers? What the hell are you talking about?” Rei said.

 

“Slayers,” Usagi began. “It's an anime series that appear every day at ten o' clock...”

 

“I know what Slayers is!” Rei shouted at Usagi.

 

“WAAHHH! Mars is so mean!” Usagi cried. The other Senshi groaned.

 

Ranma just shook his head. These girls were weirdoes, especially the green haired one. She's been glaring at him for the whole conversation and Ranma was still peeved at his vaporized shopping items to even care. He began to walk away again.

 

“OH NO YOU DON'T! FOR THE SAFETY OF CRYSTAL TOKYO, YOU MUST BE ELIMINATED!” Pluto shouted.

 

“Crystal Tokyo? You want a crystal model Tokyo? You can easily buy one in...” Ranma began, telling some good stores which sold jewelry when Pluto cut him off again.

 

“NOT THAT KIND OF CRYSTAL!” Pluto shouted. She was in the verge of tearing her hair out. “FOR IT'S SAFETY, YOU MUST BE DESTROYED, YOU EVIL SAIYAN!”

 

And the Inners did a pose. Usagi was crossing her arms normally, Ami just crossed her hands in her chest, Rei did a pointing finger, Makoto did a fighting stance, and Minako got her whips out, which Ranma thought looked very similar to Venus'. He found it funny, but not as funny as the Outers.

 

Pluto was holding her garnet out in an intimidating pose behind the three outers. Hotaru, being shorter than Setsuna, was in front of her, showing off her glaive. Besides Hotaru were Michiru and Haruka, and by some unknown psychological manner, they posed their mirror and sword, while raising one of their feet. What made the pose so funny was that when Haruka did her World Shaking attack, it hit the hydrant and a water pipe. It was pouring out and when the two homosexual Outers raised their legs, it was perfectly positioned to make the image that the two of them were peeing a roaring fountain.

 

Ranma giggled, and covered his mouth at the scene. He grunted, trying to keep it in. It was no use. The force was too strong that he burst out laughing in the credulous faces of the Senshi.

 

“Oh - God - that was so - funny!” Ranma said between each breath, rolling on the ground, grabbing his sides.

 

“THAT'S IT YOU ASSHOLE! PREPARE TO DIE!” Haruka shouted.

 

At once, the 9 Senshis attacked the distracted saiyan.

 

=Belldandy's Place=

 

“Ranma is a bit late...” Belldandy said, concerned. It's been already more than 45 minutes and she knew that Ranma was not lost.

 

Urd had to agree. Belldandy had to stop her cooking for a bit, or else the meat would disintegrate. She began to worry, but she really had no reason to worry. The worst thing is that Mara was able to persuade Ranma for another visit in her house, but Urd knew that Mara was busy. She told that to Ranma and even had the guts to kiss him. It was a good thing Urd stopped it.

 

RING! RING!

 

Urd hurried and picked it up. It might be Ranma.

 

“URD! WE HAVE A PROBLEM!” Skuld's voice shouted from the other side.

 

“OW! Skuld, why are you shouting? What is the problem? Deleted more files?”

 

“NO! I am in the verge of recovering the file, but it seems Pluto finally snapped! She blames Ranma for everything!”

 

“WHAT! ARE YOU SURE?!” Urd shouted.

 

“Uh huh! It's all chaos in here. Venus keeps wanting to go down and help him, but Kami-sama said that no one interfere. They had to pull us for extra jobs, and it seems you are the only free goddess who can rescue him!”

 

“Where is Ranma?” Urd asked in a low tone.

 

“Somewhere in Juuban...”

 

“Somewhere in Juuban? Can you get a little closer?” Urd asked.

 

“Yes, I'm typing a warp gate near the place. There is a TV store which is about a few blocks where Ranma is! Hurry!”

 

Urd didn't hesitate as she ran towards the living room and dived through the television. She didn't even hang up the phone.

 

=Juuban Streets=

 

Ranma was caught off a bit by the attack that he was hit directly with almost everything they had. Dead Scream, World Shaking, Silent Glaive Surprise, other corny names he didn't catch. He retreated a bit before he fought back.

 

He didn't hit the girls, of course. Using Aikido which he learned during his travels, Ranma used the girls' momentum and tried to knock them out without hurting them and dodging their strikes. It wasn't working, as the magical Sailor Fukus were boosting their endurance.

 

“DEAD SCREAM!” Pluto shouted and Ranma jumped up, and tried to fly away. It was almost close, but someone came in.

 

“LOVE ME CHAIN!” Minako shouted, and the chain caught Ranma's tail and Venus forced him down [with the help of the other four Senshi, as they pulled him down].

 

“YOW!” Ranma said as he felt his tail almost yanked off. He landed violently to the ground.

 

Michiru used this as her chance. “AQUA MIRROR REFLECTOR!”

 

Ranma suddenly felt intense pain as the attack hit him in the chest. He wasn't ready for it, and he grit his teeth as he felt the pain building up. He had to do something.

 

His aura burst outside almost at once, and Ranma felt the pain go away. Somehow, his aura was blocking the effects of Neptune's attack. He stood up and clasped his hands together. That's it, if they wanted him, they could have him. He put energy in his hands and prepared to unleash his ultimate attack. He wasn't going to kill them of course, but just enough to knock them out.

 

Pluto stopped with fear. She recognized what Ranma was about to do. It was the same attack which almost killed her many thousands of years ago.

 

“EVERYONE! WE HAVE TO COMBINE OUR POWERS! IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO COUNTER HIS ATTACK!” Pluto shouted. Everyone nodded as they too, went behind Pluto and raised their hands and Pluto raised her staff.

 

Ranma, by this time, was beginning to stop himself. The ray was too dangerous, and he wouldn't use them. He didn't want to use it on them. He was not going to be a killer.

 

“Take this...” Pluto softly said, then released the combine attacks of the Senshi. “SOLAR SYSTEMATIC FLARE!”

 

Ranma's eyes widened as the enormous ball of energy came full speed towards him.

 

BOOM!

 

The explosion was so intense, so blinding, that no one, not even the Senshi, knew what happened. Ranma shouted as he felt his body being torn apart and repaired and torn apart again as he collided with the blast. He felt that he was going to die, and he put up his battle aura to shield him. It worked as the energy around him tried to push the other one away, but the energy was too powerful and Ranma spent all his ki reserves, and his aura began to fade. He was going to die. The energy blast was still too powerful and he couldn't stop it.

 

“NO RANMA!” a voice shouted, and Ranma felt the pain go away. He tried to open his eyes, but only saw blur. Trying to focus his eyes, he only saw white hair. It was Urd.

 

Urd grunted as she tried to push the blast away. Ranma already was able to refocus the energy upwards but by only 60%. All she needed to do was use her energy to refocus the other 40% and it would be deflected upwards.

 

She succeeded. Urd pushed the large ball of magical energy upwards and it just took towards the sky, never to be seen again.

 

Urd sighed as she sat down in relief. She was on time, Ranma was still alive, although barely. The wounds in him look very serious.

 

“Sigh, I always have to save you butt, do I squirt?” Urd asked as she bent down.

 

“What took you so long, you old hag? Must be your age; you slowed down...” Ranma muttered, raising an arm. Urd took it and helped Ranma up.

 

“Shut up Ranma, this is serious...” Urd began seriously. “You okay?”

 

“I'm fine...” and Ranma coughed a bit of blood.

 

“Come on, let's get you out of here...” Urd said, taking Ranma's arm and putting it in her shoulders as Ranma used her as a support; he could barely stand.

 

“STOP!” Pluto said. She recognized the woman from the park. “For the safety of Crystal Tokyo, he must be eliminated!”

 

“Oh shut up...” both Ranma and Urd replied at the same time.

 

“Wh - why you! How dare you!” Pluto began.

 

“I have no time for this. First, Ranma is not a danger to you're Crystal Tokyo,” Urd began. “It is all a misunderstanding. Second, who gave you a right to change the future? The Time Gate should be used more responsibly! Such gift is a privilege, not a right! Now leave us alone!”

 

“There is no misunderstanding! I don't know how you know about the Time Gates or Crystal Tokyo but I'm very sure he is responsible! DEAD SCREAM!”

 

Urd grunted, and her hands flashed as she threw a ball of electrical mana towards the Dead Scream. The attacks cancelled each other out,

 

“How I knew about Crystal Tokyo, anyone could know it,” Urd began. “Especially when you shout about it. And as for the Time Gate, all Kamis and Megamis know it!”

 

“DEAD SCREAM!”

 

Urd growled as she unleashed another lightning ball. “Looks like your time alive made you ignorant and hard headed!”

 

Pluto growled. Her attacks were stopped by this woman, which meant that she was very powerful. Plus, she is allied with the saiyan. Pluto labeled her as `evil'.

 

“You're evil must be stopped!” Pluto declared. “We, the Sailor Senshi, will stop you!”

 

Urd sighed. She was going to request the demotion of Sailor Pluto to mortal. It seems that her power made her very hard headed, and she didn't have time for this. Ranma was injured and needed healing that was Belldandy's specialty. “Get out of the way...”

 

“No,” Pluto answered. “Senshis, we need to finish this!”

 

The Inners and Outers nodded. They are so close to finishing it, and they would be damned if they would let the saiyan slip.

 

Urd just growled, she needed to get out now.

 

“Dead Scream!” “World Shaking!” “Deep Submerge!” “Jupiter Oak Evolution!” “Moon Spiral Attack!” “Mars Flame Sniper!” “Love and Beauty Shock!” “Silent Glaive Surprise!” “Sabon Spray!”

 

Each of the separate attacks of the Senshi went towards Urd and Ranma. “Lightning Wall!” Urd said and a wall of electricity went in front of her and Ranma. Urd turned on her back and ran.

 

The wall withstood about three attacks, but the others passed through. Urd cursed as she shot out a large lightning bolt from her hands and moved her hand which made the electric bolt slash through the other six attacks like a sword. An explosion took place and dust flew. It gave cover to Urd and Ranma.

 

Urd was breathing shallowly. She needed sake now as she used a lot of her energy. She could get one later at the house. Right now, it was time to get Ranma and her out. Muttering a chant, rune signs appeared in the ground in a circular manner, trapping them where they stood, and the dust cleared, Pluto widened her eyes. Urd and Ranma were sinking in the towards the ground. She made a desperate attempt to stop them.

 

“PERFECT DEAD SCREAM!” Pluto shouted and a large circular ball appeared from her staff and went towards the ground where Ranma and Urd was sinking. Urd's eyes widened.

 

For the last two seconds, Urd tried to stop the attack, but she was already sunk towards the ground and the magic wormhole began to transport them away. The Perfect Dead Scream intermingled with the magic Urd used and thrown the wormhole into a chaos. Urd and Ranma were enclosed in the wormhole and Urd knew she had to work fast. If she didn't open another hole, she and Ranma would be lost in the fabric of time and reality forever. She focused her powers as the wormhole enclosed around them.

 

=Yggdrasil=

 

Skuld finally recovered the file and sighed. Once she does this, Pluto's problems would be all gone.

 

{File Recovery... Complete}

 

=Juuban Streets=

 

As her dead scream hit the portal, Pluto felt the return of Crystal Tokyo in the Time Gates.

 

“Time Gates secured!” Pluto declared...

 

What she didn't know was because of her actions, another time line opened. A time line which would shock her beyond anything...

 

=Kami-sama's office=

 

Kami-sama looked at his TV screen. He smiled. A little more, he can finally win the bet. All that he hoped was Ranma wouldn't overdo things... He was even beginning to doubt that his plan would not escape without casualties...

 

No, he had faith in Ranma. He was, after all, a perfect example of a martial artists. Now all he had to do was improve Ranma's marital arts...

 

Was his plan worth risking? Sure, after all, information from Hild's personal computer was worth gazillions! And he always wanted to be a godfather...

 

“How many children shall I bless Urd with?” Kami-sama asked to no one in particular.

 

To Be Continued...

 

/---------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------\

 

NEXT: A time line was introduced because of Pluto's actions. But what is it? Anyway, enough of the Senshi, as Urd did succeed in getting her and Ranma out of the wormhole. But wait a minute, it seems the young saiyan has more enemies, and they are not from this Solar System! Ranma meets the Juraians!
