And special thanks to: Louis-Philippe Giroux, and all the others who took the time to write to me to compliment me on my stories. ^_^

Notes: Whenever Ranma is in his girl form, he will be called Ranma-chan or Ranko. But I may go with Ranko, it takes a lot less writing.
This message is for those of you who think I should change the Sailor Scouts American civilian names back to their original Japanese names: I AM NOT CHANGING THE SAILOR SCOUT'S NAMES BACK TO THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE ONES!

I like the English names of the scouts a lot better than the Japanese ones so they are staying. Besides, except for Serena, Rini and Darien's American names, all of the other senshi's names are still the same as their Japanese names, only spelled differently.

And I'm changing the Outers Senshi's names too. Before anyone asks I am not changing Uranus' name to the name they gave her in the new dubb their showing on Cartoon Network. The name she'll go by is Alex.

"Successful Mission"

I came to this land to protect you.
I was born to be with you.
The moment I awoke...
...prisms surrounded me.

I'm here to love you now.
I was born to hold you.
Lies and truths...
...are all within ourselves.

The days I abandon my true feelings...
...won't get to me.
Tenderness and caring...
...can be ours once again!

Day in, day out, like a puppet on a string.
Wandering in the void between zero and infinity
The strength to sever the tangled wires...
...is still sleeping inside of you.

Callisto eyes the Sailor Scouts with an hateful look on her features. "So, the legendary Sailor Senshi we've heard so much about have finally decided to showed up?" Callisto said as her eyes roved amongst all five girls. "And just when things were starting to look boring around here. I've been waiting a long time to fight you guys." she said as she bared her clawed hands menacingly at them.

"Just bring it on!" Sailor Jupiter demanded as she prepared to attack. "JUPITER... THUNDER... CRASH!!" bolts of electricity shot out of her hands, heading straight for Callisto, in a deadly arc..

"I don't think so." Callisto said as she raised her hands in front of her. The air in front of her seemed to suddenly collapse in front of her forming a medium sized black hole that quickly sucked in Jupiter's attack. The hole collapsed, changing shape before taking the form of a small crystal ball that contained the captured electricity, which she then juggled in one hand with a smirk on her features.

"Is this all you got?" Callisto asked sarcastically. On the last toss, she snatched the spear from the air, and gripped it in her left hand, it disappeared into her hand completely absorbed into her body. "Now I believe this belongs to you!" she shouted as she fired off bursts of electricity from her hands, firing them back at Sailor Jupiter.

"_Damn!_" Sailor Jupiter cursed, as her hands clenched into fists, as she leaped out of the way, barely managing to avoid getting burned.

~Close by, Elsewhere in the City~

"WHERE THE HELL AM I NOW?!?!?!?!" a familiar voice shouted, his voice echoing throughout the streets of Tokyo.

The Eternally lost boy was wondering through the streets of Tokyo trying to figure out what city, and country, he was in now as he stopped long enough to lean against a wall to glance at one of his maps.

'Where am I?' Ryouga wondered silently to himself as he looked around. "I must still be somewhere in Japan since everything here is written in Japanese, but where is here?!" he cried as he turned around to punch the wall, leaving a small fist sized crater in the wall. "This is all Ranma's fault that I got lost again. If I ever find him I'll make him pay for making Akane sad, and for my pain and anguish!" he shouted into the air, not noticing the crowd he was gathering who quickly backed away at the sight of him punching a hole through a concrete building.

"Mommy, why is that strange man screaming at that building?" a little girl asked her mother as she hid behind the folds of her mother's skirts as she eyed Ryouga warily.

On hearing the girls comment, a sweat drop rolled down the back of the Lost Boy's head as he stood still facing the wall.

The mother grabbed her daughter's hand and hurried away as fast as she could as if the hounds of hell were after them. "Ignore him, dear. It's rude to stare at people with mental problems."

The sweat drop grew bigger, before Ryouga slowly turned his head to glance over his shoulder at the remaining crowd with a sheepish expression on his features as he put on his best 'There's-nothing-wrong-with-me-I'm-not-crazy' grin as he turned fully around. "Ano.... But can someone tell me..." he began only to watch as everyone started moving quickly to avoid him.

More of the crowd hurried past not wanting to get involved with the strange boy, ignoring his protests of innocence and sanity.

Letting out a loud curse at his misfortune, Ryouga reshouldered his backpack, and turned to continue walking down the street in hopes that he'd finally find his way back to the Tendo Dojo, when the sound of screams causes him to jerk his head around to look back behind him.

He spotted people running down the street, some who were in bad condition and being supported or carried by others as they ran as fast as they could to get away from something.

Leaping out of the way of the onrushing crowd, he watched them go in surprise. 'What's going on around here???' he wondered, as he suddenly reached out to grab a teenage boy close to his own age, who like he was about to be trampled by the crowds and pulled him out of harms way.

"Let go of me, you creep!" The boy shouted as he tried to break free of Ryouga's grip, before finally giving up as he discovered that he couldn't break Ryouga's grip, as he met Ryouga's eyes with a defiant glare. "We can't stand around here. There's no telling when *they* come this way, if the Scouts can't stop them."

"Hey pal, what's going on?? Who are the scouts?" Ryouga demanded as his grip tightened on the man as he put him back on his pal. "What's got everyone scared."

"There are two monsters up ahead, and their attacking everything that move." the boy said as he nodded his head in the direction the crowd had come in. "This weird red haired chick showed up, and took out of one of the monsters and got nailed by the other one." The boy took in deep breathes as he tried to catch his breath, while wincing as Ryouga gripped his injured arm, causing Ryouga to jerk his hands away, giving the boy a chance to break off running but not before shouting a parting shot at Ryouga. "You better get off the streets and into some place safe, pal. I think those monsters killed a lot of those people back there before help arrived." he said before he disappeared around a corner.

Ryouga stood silently as he thought over what the boy had just told him 'Monsters? There's no such thing. Then again seeing the kind of life I live, anything's possible.' he thought exasperatedly, as he glanced back in the direction the boy had indicated. 'But a red haired girl fought the monsters and was winning??' as a thoughtful look appeared on his features. "There's only one red head I know of who could do that! RANMA!" he shouted as he took off running, following the sounds of fighting as best as he could.

Sailor Mars frowned over at Callisto who was still shooting electricity at Sailor Jupiter, and the others. Sailor Mercury stood nearby, with her mini-computer out, as she did some readings on Callisto. The power readings she was getting from the monster were going off the scale. Their attacks were barely doing any damage to the youma, who kept absorbing each attack and then flinging it back at them.

Just then Callisto released several fireball that spread out everywhere through out the area. Buildings and cars exploded from the force of the impacts caused by the fireballs as they impacted with anything with anything that got in their way.

As she whipped out her scepter to attack, Sailor Moon glanced momentarily towards where Ranko was, and towards the crowd of people, who were trying to either escape the fighting or help those who had been downed when Calisto and Night Shadow had first started their attacks. But quickly turned back in time to avoid an incoming attack Callisto fired at her.

'Sailor Moon is going to get herself killed if she has to worry about those people being in danger.' Sailor Mars thought to herself as she followed her leader's gaze. 'Especially with her cousin here! What could have possessed that girl to go after these monsters on her own?!' she said with a silent curse and began shouting out orders to Sailor Venus and Mercury.

"Venus, Mercury! Try and help those people get out of here before anyone get's killed! We'll handle things here until you can get them out of danger." Mars shouted, before turning her attention back on the fight.

"MARS FIREBIRD STRIKE!"

'How did that brunette know my name?' Ranma-chan thought to herself, as she watched as the five girls dressed up in skimpy sailor outfits appeared out of no where and do some kooky kind of speech, as they faced off with Callisto. Then her eyes narrowed as she watched the fight begin anew.

'What are those girls crazy or something?! Or do they got a death wish?!' Ranma thought angrily, as she stood back up, ignoring the pain that was shooting up her side. 'Stupid girls are going to get themselves killed if they don't get out of here now!'

'What kind of whacko's would jump out in front of a monster dressed in those kind of outfits,' she thought, as her eyes moved from each of the sailor scouts, before stopping to rest on Sailor Moon for a few moments, then moved back to the monster. Then his eyes moved back to Sailor Moon, and widened in surprise, as recognition set in.

Ranma stared in surprise at the girl for a moment, as she tried to shake the feeling she was getting when she stared at Sailor Moon, not wanting to believe what she was seeing. 'Naw it can't be. Or is it?.. Serena?!' she exclaimed as she stood up, only to jump in surprise when she felt someone place a hand on her shoulder.

"What the..." Ranma exclaimed, startled as she spun around getting into a defensive stance, then she seemed to visibly relax, when she see's that it's one of the sailor suited girls. It was the one with dark blue hair wearing a blue and white sailor uniform, who stood a few feet behind her, holding a mini computer that she pointed at Ranma.

"What do ya want? And who the heck are you guys?" she demanded as she frowned at the Sailor Senshi before her.

"I am Sailor Mercury. You really need to rest right now. " Mercury said matter of factly, as she got down to serious business, as she began to examine Ranma's injury. "That injury looks pretty bad," Sailor Mercury said as she reached over to try and pull Ranma back to the ground. "I can tend to that wound for you if you'd just sit back down."

Ranma shrugged out of Mercury's grip as she turned her attention back to the fight. "Don't bother. I'm a fast healer, lady." she said, her tone sounding tight, and slightly harassed. "Besides, I've had worse than this, and it's never stopped me before when I'm in a fight." she said as she got took a step forward so she could rejoin the fight.

Mercury's eyes widened as she realized what the red head was about to do, and tries to stall her once more. "But you can't go back in there!" she exclaimed as her hand reached back out to snag Ranma's arm. "Your too badly hurt, and the others don't need to have to worry about you and that monster," she protested as she gripped hold of Ranma's sleeve. "There may be no telling what might have been in that monster's scorpion tail and..."

"Look, just butt out will ya? I said that I can handle it so stop bothering me. I'll get it looked at when this is over. Besides it seems to me that your friends need all the help they can get." Ranma said as she broke off into a run towards the fight, with a reluctant Sailor Mercury right behind her. "I'm planning to finish this and send those jerks packing."

Sailor Moon and the others were barely holding their own against Calisto and were tiring out quickly from the fight. Sailor Moon screamed out as she barely avoided getting nailed by one Callisto's attacks, as Callisto released one last fiery blast after another, not giving them a chance to attack back.

Finally, that was headed straight for Sailor Moon, when her eyes widen just as a white and black blur jumped into the middle of the fight, moving faster than their eyes could follow, tackling and knocking Sailor Moon out of the way of the incoming attack, sending them both flying into a nearby alley, causing Callisto's attack to miss Sailor Moon by mere inches.

Sailor Moon felt the air get knocked out of her as she and her assailant hit the ground with whoever had hit her landing on top. She closed her eyes for a moment to try and catch her breath, she glanced up to look at what had hit her, and finds herself staring into the dark blue eyes of Ranma who stared down at her with concern etched into her sapphire blue eyes.

"Ranma...?" she muttered as she stared back at Ranma with wide eyes.

With a muttered curse followed by something that sounded like 'I knew it', Ranma rolled off Serena and pushed herself up, "You ok?" Ranma asked as she got back to her feet, and reached out a hand to grasp Sailor Moon's hand to pull her back up to her feet.

Sailor Moon slowly nodded her head as she stared at Ranma in confusion, unsure of what she had just heard the red head say. "Ra-- Miss? You should really get out of here now. You're already hurt. Let the Sailor Scouts handle this." she said trying to talk Ranma into leaving.

"Look like I already told that Sailor Mercury girl, I'm not going anywhere." Ranma said as she looked defiantly at Sailor Moon with narrowed eyes. "I'm here to help you guys out and I'm not leaving until this is over." she said before turning around to head back towards the entrance of the alley. "Are you coming or what?"

"But... but... Oh! Of course I'm coming!" Sailor Moon exclaimed in exasperation as she followed Ranma.

After Sailor Moon's sudden disappearance, Callisto faced off with the other senshi in a final attempt to finish the rest of them off, when...

"Hey ugly, why don't you pick on some one your own size and species!" a familiar voice shouted out, "Take this on for size! Moko Takabisha!!" a voice shouted from some where behind Callisto, just before she was hit in the back by several balls of energy that hit her with enough force to send her flying several feet.

Callisto spun around in anger at the attack, as she spots Ranma facing her with Sailor Moon just starting to exit the alley to stand to one side of the red head with her scepter out. Ranma stood once more in a fighting stance ready for the monster to make the first move, wincing slightly as another bout of pain shoots through her body from her wound, causing Sailor Moon to turn her attention towards the redhead for a moment.

"You will pay for that human." Callisto snarled, as she took advantage of the situation. As she raised a hand up and pointed it at Ranma. "INFERNO PYRE!" she shouted as a large flaming ball shot out of her hands and headed straight for the duo.

Both teens turned back around too late, to face the monster at the sound of the attack being released and heading straight for them. Ranma knew that there was no way to get both of them out of the way in time, when all of a sudden he heard an all too familiar voice shout out, and cringed.

'Aw man! Not him, it's too soon for one of them to find me already!'

"BAKUSAI TENKETSU!!" a voice shouted as the ground around them suddenly began rumbling and shaking before finally breaking apart in between the three combatants, as concrete and debris shot up into the air taking the full impact of the attack, causing the objects to be completely destroyed.

"Who did that!" Callisto demanded as she turned around to look in the direction the voice had come from, and saw him.

A teenage boy with short cropped hair tied back with a yellow and black spotted bandanna tied around his head, carrying a large backpack on his back with a red umbrella perched on top, walked out of a dark alley that stood in between them, moving to stand in between the combatants as he reached back to pull off his umbrella and holds it out menacingly at Callisto.

"Look whoever you are. I don't know what kind of problem you got with these girls, but I why don't ya get out of here now, while you still got the chance?" Ryouga asked snidely as he eyed the monster, not taking his eyes off of her.

~3 Minutes ago~

After making a lot of wrong turns as he made his way through the streets, Ryouga found himself breaking through a stone wall only with the with one solid punch, and found himself coming into an alley where the sounds of fighting can be heard coming from the end. Focusing himself he moves quickly to the alley entrance. "What the hell!" he said out loud to himself as he his eyes focused on the sight before him.

He saw a group of girls wearing really short skirts, (his hand moves quickly to cover his nose at the sight of so many bare legs), fighting off a monster. But what caught his attention was a red head girl wearing Chinese style clothes who was facing off with the monster woman alongside with a blond girl wearing a outfit similar to what the other four girls were wearing.

"Look whoever you are. I don't know what kind of problem you got with these girls, but I why don't ya get out of here now, while you still got the chance?" Ryouga asked snidely as he eyed the monster, not taking his eyes off of her, as he watched the style of Martial arts she used against the monster. 'Ranma! So I've finally found you Saotome.'

Deciding to ignore the monster and girls, Ryouga prepared to charge head on at Ranma to strike him down, when he saw the monster shoot a large fireball at Ranma and the blond. 'No way! I'm not about to allow that thing to rob me of my glory of defeating and killing Ranma!' he thought as he ran forward a few steps and plunged his hand into the ground hard while shouting:

"BAKUSAI TENKETSU!!"

When the debris cleared, he saw the monster was now facing him with angry expression on its face as it snarled at him. Without showing any fear, Ryouga marched forward, pulling out his trusty umbrella to hold it out in front of him as he approached.

"Oh and what are you going to do about it, little boy?" Callisto asked casually as her eyes narrowed at him. "I can take you out this moment." she said as she charged at this new target.

"I wouldn't try it. Here catch." Ryouga said as he casually tossed his umbrella at the charging monster.

"Huh?! What am I supposed to do with th-- YOWWWW!!!!" Callisto demanded as she reflexively caught the umbrella in her hands as it comes towards her, only to find herself falling over face first to the ground at the unexpected weight of the umbrella, with her fingers caught underneath the metal part "WHAT THE HELL IS IN THIS THING!! IT WEIGHS A TON!!" she shrieked as she fought to free her hands.

"Heh. Three tons is the right number." Ranma said as she looked on, a smirk spreading on her face. Glancing back at the sailor Senshi she sees that everyone's eyes were the size of saucers once more (this time the flying type) as they heard Ranma's words. "As you can see, Ryouga may not look it, but he's a whole lot stronger than he looks."

Ryouga walked over to where his umbrella lay, still pinning Callisto's hands, and easily lifted it up with one hand, obviously not straining against the weight and slung it over his back securing it once more on his backpack. "Do you want to give up already? Or do you want to get hurt?" he asked.

Finally able to free her hands from under the umbrella, Callisto stood slowly back up staring at her hands, ready to attack the newcomer, when the voice of her partner entered her mind moments before she felt his presence at her side.

"That's enough Callisto." Nightshadow had finally recovered from the beating he had gotten from Ranma, just long enough to be able to get his wits back in order, only to see Callisto fighting the senshi and the other girl. At the arrival of the boy, he could feel some kind of power radiating off of him he decided that it was now time to end the fight for now. "This battle is over, for now."

"But, Nightshadow..." Callisto protested only to be cut off in mid sentence.

"Let's get going, We'll finish this another time," His features were cold and hard as he glared at the senshi and the two humans who had decided to interfere in the fight. "The Empress will want a full report on what's happened here. Now get going." he said before he teleported out without waiting for Callisto's response.

"This isn't over yet people," Callisto said angrily as she looked over the group surrounding her. "I'll be back to finish what I've started later." she threatened before disappearing in a flash of light.

After the monsters had retreated, Ranma-chan turned towards the lost boy, with a grin on her features. "Oi, P-chan, I didn't think it would take you so soon to find me seeing how long it takes you just to find out."

Ryouga let out a loud growl of anger as he raised his umbrella up into the air, as he faced Ranma. "Don't call me P-chan Ranma! I just knew it was you when I first saw you. I'm here to make you pay for my pain and suffering, and for hurting Akane!" he shouted as he charged at Ranma swinging his umbrella in an downward arc, much to the surprise of the senshi as they looked on with wide eyes.

"Bring it on, pig boy!" Ranma-chan countered only to stop short as burning heat filled his body followed by blinding pain suddenly shot through her body. Causing her to cry out in pain despite her attempts to stop it from coming out, as both of her hands instinctively move to her side, as she held her injured side.

Ranma was about to shrug off Mercury's grip once more, when all of a sudden a wave of pain and dizziness hits her at full force, bringing her down to her knees with a gasp of pain, as a burning sensation swept through her body from her wound, sweat beginning to appear in beads along her face.

"What's wrong?!" Mercury demanded as concern filled her voice, as she quickly moved forward in time to stop Ranma from falling over face-first to the ground.

"What the..." she managed to gasp out in as another wave of dizziness hit her hard. "Damn it, what just hit me???" he demanded as he tried to get a better position, and warded off any of Mercury's attempts at helping her back down. "It just me or is did it get hot just now?"

"Just sit still and relax," Mercury said worry creasing her brow, as she was immediately at Ranma's side, her mini-computer out, and directed at Ranma's wound. Within seconds, the readout came through, and Mercury let out a soft curse as she read the results.

"What is it?" Ranma demanded as she glanced up and saw the expression on Mercury's face.

"Not good. I was afraid of this. There was some kind of slow-acting poison was injected into your body when that you ma had managed to hit you with his tail. All that fighting you did must have speeded it up. I told you that you should have taken it easy."

Ryouga moved towards the group as the rest of the senshi gathered around Ranma, a look of concern replacing the rage that was usually always seen on his features. "How bad is he."

"It couldn't be that bad. I'm fine really you guys." Ranma protested halfheartedly, but he knew deep down that it couldn't be that.

Sailor Mercury simply shook her head in. "It looks like you were more likely running on adrenaline and anger that kept it at bay, when you fought Callisto. Now that the fights over, your body is just now beginning to react to the venom." Sailor Mercury said "If we don't get you some medical help soon, she'll..." her voice breaking off, unable to finish it as she glanced back at Sailor Moon, and saw the anguished look on her Princess' face.

"...I might die, is that it?" Ranma asked, as she stared Mercury straight in the face.

Sailor Mercury just silently nodded her head.

A panicked look spread across Sailor Moon's face as what Mercury was really saying hit her. 'She might die if we can't get her help.' she thought frantically as she looked around at the other senshi and that Ryouga person who had been ready to attack Ranma, and saw that the others knew it too. Then an idea hit her. "Amy do you think the Silver Crystal might heal Ranko if I use it?" Sailor Moon demanded.

"It might be worth a try. Anything is possible." Sailor Mercury said as she looked down into her computers screen.

"Okay, then let's do it. Moon Healing Activation!" Sailor Moon shouted as she raised her brooch containing the Silver Crystal over her head. The casing on the brooch opens, letting the two martial artists see the crystal within, just as the crystal began to glow, and white aura began to emit from it. The aura softly hit the wound in Ranma's side, filling Ranma with warmth as the wound began to glow and close up. Within a few moments the gash was completely closed.

But Sailor Moon kept the power of the Silver Crystal directed at Ranma as the glow from the crystal intensified as it purged Ranma's form of whatever poisons that might still be cursing through his body. as it completely healed her from whatever poisons that might still be coursing through her body, before finally shutting down.

Sailor Moon collapsed, almost hitting the ground headfirst only to feel Ranma's strong arms reach out to catch her as she fell. Just as darkness seemed to surround her, she could feel herself detransform as she , she thought she heard Ranma crying out her name, then she knew nothing else.

"Sailor Moon!!" the sailor scouts cried as they watched as their leader collapsed in exhaustion from overusing the Silver Crystal's power.

"Serena!" Ranma shouted as he caught Sailor Moon's form as she fell, ignoring the gasps of surprise coming from the rest of the senshi as she carefully laid Sailor Moon onto the ground. Noticing that his movements weren't causing any pain, she looked down at her side to examine her wound, but all she found was a tattered and bloody hole in her clothing where Nightshadow's attack had cut through her.

'It's completely healed!' Ranma thought as she ran a hand down her side, feeling the smooth skin underneath. 'That's completely weird. But why did Serena collapse like that for?! Is she okay?'

Ryouga moved to kneel by their side, as he looked at the girl in Ranma's arms, noting how tightly the red head martial artist was holding the other girl. 'Hmph! He's only been gone from Nerima for 2 and 1/2 days and already he has found himself a new girlfriend! How dare he hurt Akane like that.' he thought angrily, as he put a hand on Ranma's shoulder. "Ranma, she's okay. She's only unconscious." he said. Ranma's grip on the blond lessoned a bit at his words.

"Excuse me?" a timid voice broke through his train of thought. He glanced over his shoulder to meet the eyes of Sailor Mercury who was eyeing him cautiously.

"Yeah? What is it?" Ranma demanded as he looked up at her, and finally noticed that all of the senshi were giving him the same looks as Mercury was.

"Why did you call her Serena? He name is Sailor Moon." Jupiter asked, as her mind slowly went into overdrive at the possibility of Ranma knowing Serena's identity. 'She knows who Serena is! Even if she is Serena's cousin, does that mean she's on our side or what?'

"Don't even bother lying about it, Sailor Jupiter." Ranma said as she stood up still holding Sailor Moon's body in her arms. As she did, she took another look at Sailor Jupiter, taking in her appearance and everything else about her, before coming to a conclusion. "Or should I say Lita? " she asked, smirking as she watched as Jupiter's eyes widen to the size of saucers. "Ami? Mina? Raye?" she asked as she addressed each of the scouts by their real names, while Ryouga stared on in silence.

Giving up on all pretenses, Sailor Mars grew flustered at this turn of events. "How do you know who we are?!"

"Well one thing, Serena's hair was a dead giveaway. How many blond girls are their in Japan who have their hair done up in a pair of meatballs, and acts the way Serena does? That and she knew what my name was." she asked as she shifted her cousin's unconscious form in her arms. "It may have been years since I last saw her, but ya don't expect me to actually forget all that, do ya? Hey Ryouga give me a hand will ya?"

"Oh..." Raye said quietly, as she detransformed back into civilian form

"Look you can't tell anyone that you know who we are, Ranko. That goes for you too, whoever you are." Lita said as threateningly as she frowned at both teens as she detransformed.

"The names Ryouga. Ryouga Hibiki. And who's Ranko?" Ryouga said out loud in confusion as he eyed Ranma. "Why are you calling him Ranko? His name is-- Oof!" Ryouga felt a rush of air leave his lungs, as Ranma-chan's elbow found it's way into his stomach.

"Ryouga, your always confusing me with my brother, Ranma. You know perfectly well that I'm Ranko, Ranma's sister." Ranma said discouragingly as she looked up into his eyes, and sees resentment at being hit in the stomach, and understanding fills the lost boy's eyes.

"How were the two of you doing all those attacks? I couldn't pick up anything magical about them on my computer, yet they were powerful enough to cause major damage to those monsters."

"There's nothing magical about them t'all." Ranko drawled a pleased look on her face, as she positioned, with Ryouga's help, Serena on her back in a comfortable position and stood back up, carrying Serena on her back, piggyback style.

"We used chi attacks to fight them with." Ryouga said

"What are 'chi' attacks?" Jupiter asked.

"It's what martial artists like us can do." Ranma said as she faced them once more. "When physical attacks seem to fail in battle, we usually have to resort to chi attacks in order to win."

"Can you teach us how to do some of them, Ranko?" Lita asked as she looked at him. "I'm a pretty good martial artist myself, but from what I just saw I think I might need some more training in order to get almost as good as you are."

"Yes, we could use that type of techniques in our battles. Then we might be able to end them a lot sooner." Amy added in.

"Sure if that's what you want." Ranma said with a slight frown as she glanced at each of the four senshi, "you girls look like you'll need all the training your going to get. Just call me at the Tsukino house anytime, to set up a time where I could start training." he said as she turned to start walking away.

"Is your brother as good as you are in martial arts, Ranko?" Mina asked

Ranko stopped in midstep, and looked as if she was considering her answer before turning to answer. "Yep. When it comes to martial arts, the two of us are pretty even. Nobody can beat us, even if they tried." she said, a note of self-approval evident in her voice. "Look we'll see you later, when Serena wakes up."

"What are you doing?!" Sailor Mars demanded as Ranma started walking away from them, with Serena now resting on her back as she walked. "Well I'm out of here."

"What does it look like?" Ranma shouted back. "I'm planning to take Serena home, so she can finish her 'nap' there. Hey Ryouga are you coming? I need to talk to you."

"Yeah I'm coming. You and I got some unfinished business to take care of, RanKO!" Ryouga gave the senshi a sideways glance before running after Ranma, almost getting lost along the way.

Lita was looking at Ryouga with a dreamy look on her face as she stared intently after him as he left, marveling at his appearance and the sight of his muscles that show from under his sleeveless shirt. 'Whoah! He looks just like my old boyfr--.' she thought, only to stop and think it over as she took another look at the martial artist. 'No I'm wrong. He looks a whole lot better than my old boyfriend and any other boy I've met, combined!!' she thought dreamily.

"What were those attacks you guys were doing?" Minako asked as he

=======================
Author's Notes:
Come back next time for the next chapter of A Past Revealed.

Coming up Next: Sailor Moon here, with the inside scoop of what's happening next time in A Past Revealed. Ranma, Ryouga and I head back to my house for some rest after the fight with Nightshadow and Callisto. Later on, as I sleep, my dreams are once more haunted by the boy from last time, my big brother, Prince Kanaeda from back in the Silver Millennium. Nani! Who's that? Another figure from the past appears in my dreams.

Special Moves and Attacks:
Moko Takabisha (Fierce Tiger Ball): Ranma invented this technique himself as a countermeasure to Ryouga's Shishi Hokoudan technique. Ranma draws upon his confidence and determination, and releases it in the form of a ball of chi energy.
Bakusai Tenketsu (Blasting or Breaking Point/Earth Tremor Attack): This technique was taught to Ryouga by Cologne to help him try to beat Ranma. It involves seeing the breaking point of something with your mind, and hitting it with one finger, shattering the object. This only works on objects made of stone and rock, however.
