[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

In the previous chapter

"Sailor Mercury managed to escape, but we killed many people, including Ami Mizuno's possible mother" Reported Hanta Logistically.

"It was a miracle that none of her vital organs were damaged, I should also thank the Young Man who helped bring her in if it had taken a little longer the story might have been different." The Doctor gave the good News to Ami "Miss Mizuno Your mother suffered 4th degree Burns in several places on her torso, also surrounded by 3rd degree burns, I don't know how but the nerves in many of the 3rd degree burns, are still feeling, your mother will feel a lot of pain just being conscious, we have decided to leave her in an induced coma until she recovers" The Doctor informed the bad news to Ami.

"This is a pocket dimension hosted inside the Mercury Personal Computer, here time passes differently here one hour outside equals one week inside, also the Mercury Personal Computer has control over this reality" Explained Junpei.

"Ranma, My dad is coming today at noon, because those youmas are following me, could you go get him for me at Azabu-Juuban station, and bring him here so we can talk Please?"

"It's okay Ami, what's his name?" agreed Ranma, asking the name of his friend's father.

"Thank you, Ranma," Ami thanked. "His name is Kaizo Zōkei," she said, giving Ranma his father's name.

Azabu-Juban Station

It was a normal day at the busy Azabu-Juban subway station. On the station's loudspeakers, the radio was being cut off with every announcement that a train was arriving at the station.

"I am your host, once again, your neighbor Kai Harada, it is 11:30 in the morning. What a refreshing morning. And I have the perfect songs to be able to follow well this fourth day of vacation for the students, our next song this morning is C'est La Vie by Famous Idol Minako Aino" Said Announcer Kai Harada announcing the following

[C'est La Vie - Ayaka Komatsu].

The song although lively was drowned out by the hustle and bustle of the station although it still highlights the part of C'est La Vie, In this climate we follow a young black haired man moving towards the entrance and exit of the Lina Namboku when he accidentally bumped into a girl with long dark blue hair tied down by a yellow bow tie, wearing a yellow tank top. The T-shirt is tight-fitting and highlights her figure. She is also wearing blue Jean shorts.

"Careful, are you Ok..." Ranma started to say until he realized who it was. "To... Tomboy?" Ranma asked 'Is it just me or is she prettier than the last time we met?'

'Tomboy? Only one person calls me that' Thought the girl as she looked into the face of the boy she had bumped into "You again!" She asked as she recognized him

"Who is he, Akane?" a girl with long light brown hair asked the girl now known as Akane 'Wait it's not that guy is it?" thought the girl.

"Yuka, isn't it obvious that he's her boyfriend, just look at the way they look at each other." Said another girl with dark brown hair pulled back in a ponytail to her friend.

"Sayuri, I think it's the guy she told us about, the one who insulted her in the dojo" Yuka said to Sayuri.

'Akane what a pretty name' Ranma thought as he heard the girl's name.

"That just reminded me, we never had that fight we had agreed on" said Akane remembering their agreed fight (yes the one from chapter 2) "Well another time, now I'm busy, next time maybe we can fight" she said goodbye leaving open the possibility of a future fight.

Ranma was mesmerized for a moment by the beauty of the girl he had called Marimacho.

"12:00 PM Namboku train arriving" Said the speaker's voice bringing Ranma out of his reverie.

'Right, Ami's father' Ranma thought, turning back on his way to the Namboku line area.

?

Hanta was running through the streets with great speed, running in a manner similar to a velociraptor (from the Jurassic Park saga) using all her senses to search for her prey, she knows she felt it moving around, but now she is not detecting it, no matter how hard she tries, this is frustrating her and very much she is the ultimate hunting Youma how is it possible that she is not finding her prey.

"That's a cool costume, miss but I wonder what character it is?" asked a Young man with bottle glasses that for some reason had spirals on the eye part.

Seeing the insolent human Hanta had an idea 'If you can't find them, then call them' He thought as he smiled sinisterly.

Azabu Hikawa Temple, Guest Room

"Let me get this straight. You're telling me that my daughter is part of a group of warriors who are fighting demons to save the world?" Junpei nodded "And my ex-wife was attacked by one of these demons who was trying to kill Ami?" Mercury nodded "Oh very well then" Kaizo said as he collapsed.

"He took it better than I had imagined," Junpei said to Mercury who had transformed to make the point clearer to Kaizo.

"And what had you imagined, Junpei-San?" Mercury asked Junpei.

"Well, he could very well say that he was against his daughter that he didn't see for years, risk her life every day and try to take you away from us" Junpei explained.

"Good point, now I'm going to put him on a futon so he can rest quietly" Mercury said as he coasted his father on a futon when an alert came straight to the Mercury Personal Computer.

"A Youma is attacking approximately 5 blocks away" Junpei alerted "Call the rest, I'll wait here" He asked Ami as he waited.

Azabu Hikawa Temple, Dojo, Half an Hour Before

Ranma let Ami take his father to the guest room, meanwhile he took Ryuoga to the Dojo. He wanted to know something, since he saw Akane at the station something in him felt different, and he wanted to ask the only person he knew with experience.

"Ryuoga, how did you feel when you met Rei?" asked Ranma to Ryuoga.

"Huh?" smartly asked Ryuoga who was expecting everything but that question.

"You see Ryuoga today I met a girl at the station, and I think I fell in love. But I'm not sure. And that's why I brought you here, I wanted to confirm my feelings, and who better than you, who's boyfriend" Ranma explained to Ryouga.

"Ehh Buenooo..." Ryouga didn't know how to describe the person who had been his mortal enemy for so long, how the crush felt, not because he couldn't but because it felt strange

"Guys sorry to interrupt you but with Junpei we just detected two sources of Youma activity" Ami interrupted Ryuoga which he was grateful for.

Ranma nodded and pulled the pin from his subspace pocket "Moon Prism Power, Suit Up!" and after a [Transformation Sequence] Lunar Knight was ready to fight, Sailor Mercury and Mars will follow shortly after, the three of them exited the temple towards the Youma's position.

Ryuoga was left alone in the Temple, feeling useless for not being able to help his girlfriend and her friends.

Azabu Junior and Senior High School, Patio

The school playground is decorated as a Western village, the school agreed that the seniors would use the playground for this activity during the summer, people were dressed up in themed costumes and some were cosplaying famous or not so famous Western themed characters. It was all fun and laughter until a woman dressed as a cowboy dinosaur and a stone Golem started tearing up the school and killing students and visitors. The place is in chaos right now but the Western decor is still intact... mostly.

"All right, Mongo, keep killing humans and destroying property. The Senshi will show up any minute" Hanta said to his partner Mongo.

"MONGO CRUSH!" Shouted Mongo as he prepared to crush a group of people, which was paralyzed with fear of the creature, as he was about to crush them they disappeared in a red blur in the air

Reappearing a couple of meters away "Run fast, run away!" shouted Lunar Knight who had saved them, the people despite the terror of the monster and the most wanted terrorist in Tokyo. They obeyed him as it was their best chance of survival by escaping from the place.

"You Youmas, wherever you pass you leave chaos and death, you are true demonic beings, and in the name of the Moon" pronounced Lunar Knight looking at the Youma.

"From Mercury" pronounced Sailor Mercury who had just arrived at the school.

"And from Mars" pronounced Sailor Mars who arrived shortly after Mercury.

"We will punish them," said all three at the same time.

"Oh Sailor Senshis... and Lunar Knight finally arrive" He even said with mischief and disappointment until he noticed something "Where is Sailor Moon, this party can't start until she arrives" He asked since his plan was to attract all his enemies and finish them all together.

"Sorry to disappoint youma, but she won't come, no matter how hard you try" Lunar Knight said somewhat annoyed.

"That's a pity, but well she's the weakest of you, so I can kill you now, and her later" Hanta said with clear malice "Mongo crush them" Ordered the youma to her partner.

"MONGO LIKE SMASH!" Mongo shouted obediently, going to crush the Senshis and Lunar Knight.

"Lunar Punch!" Lunar Knight shouted as he threw a magically charged punch to the Chest (or at least what looked like one) of the rocky youma, separating the stones that made up its body.

"Fire Soul!" shouted Mars launching the attack towards Hanta, who upon seeing the attack coming jumped towards the roof of one of the decorations hiding there "Damn it, I failed" cursed the fire Senshi.

"We have to go get her, she can't get away again" Mercury said as she ran into the more than possible trap as she was blinded by her anger towards the youma who almost killed her mother.

"We have to go after her" Lunar Knight said to Mars but as they were both about to go after Mercury, El saw the stones forming Mongo move and meet at one point "Damn it's coming back together, Mars you go and help Mercury I'll take care of this one" he said to his partner as they separated, Mars nodded in response running after Mercury.

"That Mongo Doler" exclaimed the rebuilt youma "You Break Mongo, Mongo Kill!" shouted Mongo charging at Lunar Knight.

Distorted Western Town

The appearance of the courtyard changed brutally, instead of grass there was now sand the decorations now looked like or rather were real buildings but their appearance had been distorted to look like a demonic western town with a huge clock tower in the center, the red, black, purple and yellow colors stood out as well as the spikes and thorns. Some visitors were also caught in the distortion, in this scenario appeared Sailor Mercury followed by Sailor Mars.

The clock read 12:58 at the end of the main street Hanta could be seen standing in front of the clock "Sailor Senshis when that clock strikes one our final duel will begin" exclaimed Hanta looking at both girls as her hands were parallel to her body which was in a pose ready to draw both pistols.

12:58

Both Senshis looked at each other, they knew what they had to do, they were in the realm of the youma if they did not play along innocent civilians could be hurt, both got into position to attack Hanta when the clock reached 13:00, the tension increased second by second.

12:59

Hanta looks at both Senshis with a defiant gaze, which is returned by the Senshis this ends here, the tension was in the air there was only a minute left.

13:00

As soon as the clock struck 13:00 the bells rang announcing the start of the duel, Hanta quickly drew and fired both plasma pistols aiming at both Senshis.

Mercury Summoned a Shabon Spray while jumping to the side to dodge the shots, dodging action that was also taken by Mars, Mars' shot hit the floor without much problem but Mercury's shot was directed towards a child, without any other alternative she concentrated the cold fog in a shield of ice that stopped the attack saving the child from certain death but revealing Mercury's new weapon to the Youma.

"Interesting trick Sailor Mercury but it won't do much good" Hanta said to Mercury as he turned to her, his weapons with fiery plasma capable of destroying skin from his burns were ready when suddenly, he started shooting towards people causing Mercury to concentrate the mist into shields to prevent them from dying or being severely damaged

Sailor Mars took advantage of this moment to fire a Fire Soul at the Youma who dodged it by jumping without much trouble and fired at Mars making her dodge the shot again.

Azabu Junior and Senior High School, Entrada

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the school, Lunar Knight was facing his own challenge as Mongo kept attacking and ramming, Lunar Knight managed to save all the civilians in the way of the huge youma but could not prevent it from leaving the building, he had managed to get the civilians away from the chaos caused by the huge monster, but now the debris from the ramming had become a good ranged weapon for the huge being made of stone.

Lunar Knight dodged another huge chunk of rubble, seeing how the school was in danger of being reduced to its foundations if he didn't act quickly. Needing to distract the youma, he rushed over and, raising his voice, shouted, "Hey you, ugly, down here!" thus getting Mongo's attention.

"Call Mongo ugly, Mongo kill" Said the huge stone youma as it tried to crush Lunar Knight which dodged the stomps with some difficulty but not much then.

"Lunar Punch!" Lunar Knight once again used his new technique to split Mongo into parts once again only this time he decided to follow the trajectory of the head 'If I break his head he might already be dead at once' He quickly thought hoping it would work.

"Mongo Doler" Said Mongo's head as it fell to the ground, scaring a passing pedestrian couple.

Lunar Knight went down shortly after, ready to end this once and for all with a "Lunar Punch!" aimed at the monster's head...

"Hehehe, tickle Mongo" Mongo laughed at the sensation generated by the punch.

"Ah, shit that hurt" Lunar Knight cursed, waving his hand from the pain the blow generated.

"Mongo Crush!" shouted the youma.

"Uh?" Lunar Knight said confused, until his sense of danger made him realize that Mongo's body was behind him and was about to crush him with a blow...

Then a cry of "Rose Rose Rose Mallet!" was heard as a huge rose-themed mallet shattered the youma's stone arm.

"Uugh!" cried Mongo in pain as he felt his arm being reduced to rubble.

"Do you need help Lunar Knight?" asked Masked Fuku holding the mallet on his shoulder, extending his hand to Lunar Knight.

'I may be crazy but if I want a chance with this Youma I need his help' Lunar Knight thought instantly "Yes I could use some help" He accepted Masked Fuku's help.

"Arm Mongo not be, Mongo Angry, Mongo Kill" Said Mongo reformed, one-armed and very angry.

Lunar Knight and Masked Fuku looked at each other, nodding in affirmation.

Distorted Western Town

"Tell me, tell me where are you?" said Hanta as he looked around for the civilians and the Senshis.

Civilians and Senshis are hiding in one of the buildings, mothers and fathers are hugging their children, young people are praying to see their families again, others are crying in despair.

Seeing the situation both Mars and Mercury agreed they had to finish with that youma, but how? It was very fast, agile and attacked from a distance. Mercury came up with a plan and told Mars in her ear, Mars nodded accepting the plan. They both went out through the roof and moved to another building without people.

"Found you" Hanta said ominously as he watched Mercury and Mars move across the rooftops of the buildings.

In another corner of the distorted town Hanta, Mercury and Mars were on the roof of a building next to the clock tower.

"Ami Mizuno, this ends here and now." Hanta proclaimed in a duel-ready stance about to draw, and with murder etched in his eyes.

"Shabon Spray!" shouted Mercury invoking the spell's signature cloud of cold mist covering both her and Mars.

"Fire Soul!" shouted Mars launching the igneous attack towards the youma who would jump to dodge it and try to shoot at where he thought Mars was.

"Shield Reflection!" shouted Mercury creating a reflective shield in the path of Mars' attack deflecting his target to Hanta's back.

"Uh?" Hanta exclaimed as she felt something approaching from behind her back, her eyes filled with fear as she saw the Fire Soul coming towards her, she could no longer do anything but curse "HOLYSHITTTttttttt..." They were the last words of the bounty hunter Youma as she was burned.

The distorted reality began to fade and everything returned to normal, Mercury and Mars high-fived each other in a sign of team victory.

Sendai Route

Lunar Knight and Masked Fuku are dodging and destroying the rocks Mongo was throwing at them as he fled. Showing a similar level of skill, agility, and mental acuity.

"Mongo Heal, Mongo stones need" Said the rocky youma as he ran towards the Lawn Tennis Club as there are stones at its entrance that he can use to regenerate himself.

"He's too fast at this rate we won't catch him" Lunar Knight commented as he saw the difference in speed between them, then he saw an opening, the stones were being thrown in a pattern, hence there would be that same opening later "Hey Mallet Girl I have an idea" he said to Masked Fuku.

"Which one? Honey," Masked Fuku asked sheepishly, ignoring the nickname.

'Why did he call me honey!' Lunar Knight wondered upon hearing Masked Fuku's nickname 'I'd better ignore that' he concluded "Alright look at the stones, can you see the pattern?" I ask him

"Of course I noticed honey, I've been dodging that pattern for a while now."

"Well there's an opening every so often this is the plan, I'll throw you into it through that opening, and then you smash it with your mallet Okay?" planned Lunar Knight.

Masked Fuku nodded and together with Lunar Knight continued dodging until they both saw the opening between the stones Lunar Knight used his hands as a platform to propel Masked Fuku's jump, and so she was able to avoid the stones and reach the sky.

"Mongo Cured, Mongo Crush" Mongo said with his arm already recovered when he noticed something "Where is Hammer Girl?" he asked when he didn't see Masked Fuku.

Lunar Knight simply pointed upward

"Ugh?" Mongo said looking up only to see Masked Fuku just inches away from his face with his sledgehammer in between them both then, at that moment Mongo felt the true terror, and finally regretted taking this job from Lady Thetis "ARRGGgggg..." Was all he could say before his head was reduced to dust, causing his entire body to be disassembled into stone that without the magical influence of the youma would return to normal stone.

With the Enemy defeated Lunar Knight and Masked Fuku clash fists... Of course the latter wanted something more from Lunar Knight, so he chased him a bit until he started to feel weak and decided to leave with "Adieu, à bientôt ojojojojojo" turning around making his cloak waving and hiding it completely blurring his mind.

Soon after Sailor Mercury and Mars found Lunar Knight who was puzzled and could swear he had seen that yellow bow in his hair before but now he couldn't remember where.

Tokyo Metropolitan Hiroo Hospital

Ami Mizuno and Kaizo Zōkei are in front of room 313 where Saeko Mizuno is hospitalized, Father and Daughter enter the room where they meet the doctor who was taking notes due to something impressive "I've never seen this before" said the doctor.

"What is it if I may ask?" Kaizo asked, "After all, it's my daughter's mother you're talking about" He clarified.

"Oh, you must be Mr. Zōkei and Miss Mizuno." Said the doctor "You see it seems that Ms. Mizuno's burns were still burning the skin around but it has recently stopped."

"Wait a minute Doctor, Yesterday they hadn't said anything about the skin still burning from the burns" Ami complained about the lack of that information on the day.

"You see, Miss, we did not tell you this yesterday so that you would not be alarmed, since we could not prevent the burns from spreading across the skin, but now that this strange quality is no longer present, there is nothing to be alarmed about" Explained the doctor hoping to calm the teenager, but looking at both her and her father, he realized that he only achieved the opposite effect.

"My mother could have been cremated alive on her gurney and you didn't deign to tell me that she could be dying, that seems to me a reason for alarm!" Ami said very angry with the professional.

"Let me get this straight, Saeko is one of the best doctors in Japan, and they didn't even deign to say that she could die at any moment!" Kaizo continued angrily.

"Uh well..." The doctor started "The patient woke up!" shouted the doctor making Ami and Kaizo turn to look at him but Saeko was still in an induced coma when they looked back at the doctor he was gone.

Despite the anger felt by Father and Daughter at the doctor's negligence, they were here to visit Saeko and would do so.

Small time jump as Ami and her father were leaving but Ami approaches her mother again.

"I loved the Movie, Thanks Mom" Ami replied to the question asked at the cinema that she could not answer at the time.

Dark Kingdom, Throne Room

Thetis had been summoned to the throne room by Lin-Lin-Hime to speak with Queen Beryl.

"Did my Queen call?" asked Thetis to her Queen.

"That's right Thetis, it has been reported to me that on your last mission in the human world, you spent a Great amount of energy on the creation of two elite Youmas and portals, only to spend it killing humans, without even reaping what you spent on your plan" Beryl began to explain with false calmness.

"My Queen was..." Thetis starting to explain the situation

"Acting recklessly!" shouted Beryl in anger and disappointment at the youma's actions "Thetis I think you of all people should know the costs of these operations, and how important the energy is" She continued without anger but showing clear disappointment.

"I know my Queen but..." Thetis was on the ropes, she knew it, so she used her last card "But Jadeite is going to do much worse he plans to betray her and take the power of the Dark Kingdom" Her last card was to betray the one she had helped with her treason plan maybe this way Queen Beryl will forgive her for her grave fault.

"You think I didn't know that?" asked Beryl rhetorically, surprising Thetis "I also knew that you have been helping him in that plan very faithfully" She continued.

Thetis was frozen. Beryl knew it, she knew it "H...how?" she asked with great fear in her voice.

"Are you kidding, this is my Kingdom, I have eyes and ears everywhere anything that happens I will be aware of, I let him go through with his stupid plan, because it would benefit me in the end" Beryl replied more Machiavellianly than usual.

Then Thetis understood that Jadeite was never and would never be superior to Beryl no matter how much she tried, no matter how much she planned, Beryl knew everything in the kingdom, and she also saw that she was no longer useful to Beryl or Jadeite. "W...what will happen to me?" asked the frightened Youma for her destiny.

"Simple, you will continue your operations in Tokyo" Beryl replied to Thetis' relief "But on one condition" She added mischievously at the end.

"Which one?" Thetis asked with some fear for what Beryl would say.

"You will no longer be able to transport Youmas to earth" Beryl replied in a tone emphasizing something obvious.

Thetis realized the implication of that condition "E...understood Queen Beryl" He said as he withdrew to plan his next strategy.

Azabu Hikawa Temple

Ami and Kaizo were currently living at Hikawa Temple as guests to avoid any Youma attacks. Right now father and daughter are eating dinner after returning from the hospital. The silence was sculpturally clear until it was broken by a question.

Ami had been asking her father all day since she saw him arrive at the temple that afternoon "Why did you leave us Dad?" Ami asked her father "I saw the way you acted at the hospital, clearly you still love Mom, please answer me" he pleaded in response.

Kaizo was shocked by this question but figured that sooner or later his daughter would ask, it was time to be honest with him.

"I guess for you to understand the reason I'll have to tell you the whole story" Kaizo replied then told the story of how he met Saeko and their history as a couple but since it's long I'll leave only the important part "I met your mother in college, she was going to Medicine and I was going to Visual Arts, We were both in the same Anatomy and functions of the human body class, She was my Muza, so over the years and dating we got married and had a daughter, your my little girl (Substitute for Ami's translation), then when you were just 4 years old, I made the biggest mistake of my life, I thought that my family was limiting me in my passion for art, as it did not allow me to be free to explore the world, now I see how foolish I was to think that, as time went by I saw that without my Muzas without the people I love my art had no feeling and no sense, I could come back but I was always a coward, I thought my family, my daughter hated me, it wasn't until I received your call, that I saw I had a second chance, so please let me be your father at least now" He confessed and in turn begged for forgiveness and a second chance for his daughter.

Ami seeing in Kaizo true sorrow and guilt for leaving his family behind decided that he would agree to give him a second chance "It's okay Dad, I forgive you for leaving us, you know something why don't we take advantage of tomorrow to start over again."

Kaizo simply could not help but weep at her daughter's compassion and kindness.

Friday, August 8, Morning

Ami and her father spent the last few days making up for lost time by starting over, both finding their interests in art a common ground and a good starting point. Although there are still many rough edges to polish, both already had a better father-daughter bond than 3 days ago.

Rei and Ryoga became more friendly with Ranma and Ami, due to the time they now spent together, since Ami was living in the temple and Ranma came to study with her every day.

Ranma and his mother have advanced with their training, now Nodoka is thinking of starting Ranma's training in the secret techniques of the Hino school of sword mastery.

In a small hydrotherapy clinic that is becoming famous for curing any ailment with water, Thetis was preparing for her final battle against the Senshis. It was all to be decided today: them or her; whoever would die.

At a Multimedia broadcasting station near Tokyo Tower a devious plan is about to begin, Jadeite is smiling soon everyone will see his greatness.

To be continued

Author's Notes

Finally comes a moment I've been waiting for since Chapter 1, the End of the first Saga of this Fanfic. I'm excited. I guess I should talk a little bit about the next episode.

I plan to make the next chapter longer than usual.

I want to finish the episode by the end of the month, I hope I can make it this month.

I was thinking about the future and how college will affect me in the writing of this story and I was thinking about using AI to help me write, I will keep working on correcting mistakes and working on the general story, the AI will be more than anything to give me a point of support, and help as a Co-writer tell me what you think about this idea, I know it is a somewhat controversial idea but I hope you understand that I will not have as much time to write as now.

Write your opinions. I'll read them all.

See you in the next episode: Jadeite and Thetis: The Fall of Arrogance.

O by the way I am working on a surprise. I don't know if it will be ready for the next chapter but maybe by mid September.
