Ranma 1/2 Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Ranma and the Outers ❯ Sailor Ranko? ( Chapter 11 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Ranma and the Outers. After reading “All My Outers” by PsyckoSama, I got this idea. While his was a good idea, I had to change it slightly and then wondered where it would go. Hopefully, it will turn out pretty good. This is Rated “R” for language and adult situations. This will have lime-ish content, but will not be a lemon as I will not be describing or detailing those things.
NOTE: My usual two Beta-readers have been unavailable for some time, so until I get other beta-readers, I will be doing the pre-reading myself. Of course, this means that I may miss a few things. So if you notice some errors, please let me know.

Chapter 6 part 2: Sailor Ranko?
For another hour, the group talked and it seemed to Ranma that they'd finally got though to everyone and they now understood his connection to all the girls, rivals and other various people in Nerima. All of the girls shivered when they thought about Happosai, but unfortunately, they didn't know a way to stop him, especially without being groped.
For the Amazons it was also difficult to decide on what to do. Especially since it was the tribal laws at fault. Shampoo had already returned to her tribe a failure once, and she was cursed because of it. They did not want to think of what would happen if she failed again. Yet none of the sailor scouts wanted to see Ranma leave them, especially his wives and his new daughter.
Usagi had offered to use her abilities to heal the Kunö's of their mental problems… but no one was sure if she was capable of doing so. In the end of the meeting, it was decided that a little sailor justice needed to be unleashed upon Genma, Kunö and Ryoga, while some sense needed to be knocked into the others. However, the part that had them all too astonished to say much less do anything, was the seppuku contract that his mother held onto.
After a few moments of silence as the Sailor Scouts thought about what to do, Mamoru finally looked at his watch and sighed. “Well, I guess this is going to have to be it for now. It's late and…”
“There is one more thing,” A voice at the doorway said interrupting him. All eyes turned to see Setsuna standing at the door. “I believe the biggest concern has still to be discussed.”
“Kuso!” Ranma said loudly only to be elbowed by both his wives. “Sorry, but things kind've got outta control.”
“I know,” she said with a smile forming on her lips.
Ranma gave her a sideways glance as he recognized that look. “You wanna tell them don't you?”
“You're learning fast Ranma. And yes, I would.” Seeing that everyone was eyeing her she had everyone stand up and then motioned for Ranma to stand beside her. “Everyone, I would like you to meet, our newest Sailor Scout, Sailor Neptune.”
As expected, all of the inners just looked at them and blinked. Finally Ami spoke up, “But Michiru is Sailor Neptune…”
Setsuna just smiled, “Correct and Ranma, or rather Ranko will be taking her place.”
“But why?” Asked Usagi.
“Because, Michiru is…”
Ami's eyes lit up. “Pregnant! She's pregnant!”
For a brief moment, all eyes turned to Ami before snapping back to Michiru who was giving everyone a soft smile while unconsciously holding her hand to her stomach. “How'd you know?” Michiru asked.
“All of the clues were there. The big thing that's going to start out small, it happening in nine months, and the way you keep touching your stomach.”
Blushing lightly Michiru nodded her head. “You're correct; Setsuna told us yesterday morning.” After saying that there were several excited girlish squeals and then the mother-to-be was taken aback as she was suddenly being hugged by every one of the Inner Scouts at the same time.
From where Setsuna and Ranma were standing, he could only gape at what he was seeing. Glancing at Setsuna he told her softly, “They're taking this pretty well.”
Setsuna gave him a slight smile. “Yes, and they are still dealing with her being pregnant.”
He groaned. “Why do I feel like things are about to get messed up again?”
“Again?” Haruka asked with a grin. “Things haven't settled down yet.”
OHmygoshthisissoamazing!” Usagi practically yelled as she hugged Michiru.
“Thank you… thank you everyone,” Michiru told them happily.
Minako was about to say something but the sound of a throat clearing loudly interrupted the festivities. “I'm sorry to break in,” Setsuna said with a sly grin that made everyone wonder if she truly was sorry. “But there is one more thing that has to be taken care of.”
“What's that?” Usagi asked.
Setsuna just smiled more. “You don't expect Michiru to fight a demon when she's pregnant do you?” That one simple question got though to all of the scouts. And as one, hesitantly the inner scouts all shook their heads. “That's good…”
“So what do we do?” Interrupted Makoto.
“Maybe we could just die Ranko's hair to look like Michiru!” suggested Minako.
“What!” Shouted Ranma.
“That'll work!” Shouted Makoto. “All we have to do is dress up Ranko and let her do those fancy marital arts and stuff!”
Ranma looked indignant. “HAY!”
“But he still won't look like a sailor scout,” Mamoru added tiredly and then looked to Setsuna for help.
But before the Senshi of Time could say a word, Ami spoke up. “What about Usagi's pen?”
“The what?” Ranma asked.
“That would work, at least then he'd actually look like Sailor Neptune,” commented Rei.
“But…” Ranma tried to say.
“Umm…. I don't know about that…” Usagi added unsurely.
“What are you talking about?” Ranma demanded.
Haruka sighed. “Ranma, Usagi has this pen that will make her look like someone else.”
Ranma blinked. “Um… I guess that's ok…”
“Not quite,” Setsuna said flatly.
“I don't think so too,” Michiru said getting everyone's attention. “Some of the things we face cannot be harmed by physical force alone.”
“As I was saying…” Setsuna broke in again. “While Usagi's pen is all well and good, it does not completely solve the problem.”
“Than what do you suggest?” Haruka asked with a smirk.
“It's quite simple really,” she told them. “If the princess used the Millennium Crystal to transfer Neptune's power from Michiru to Ranma, then he will have the magic power as well as his own innate martial arts abilities.”
“OH! I get it!” Exclaimed Usagi.
“You do?” Asked Rei skeptically.
“Yeah! All I have to do is use the crystal and transfer her powers to him!”
Everyone else groaned aloud.
Setsuna smiled at Usagi, “And how do you suggest you do that?”
“Um… well… you see I…”
“As I thought.” Setsuna said with a grin.
“So what are we gonna do?” Ranma asked.
“The best methods are usually the simple ones. We are going to take a trip and when we get to our destination Usagi is going to transfer Michiru's powers to Ranma by using the Silver Crystal.”
“That sounds simple enough,” Rei said and then looked at Usagi. “Simple enough that even Usagi can't mess it up.”
“WAH!!! Rei you're so mean!”
“Oh wow! A trip!” Minako suddenly said happily. “I love taking trips. Where are we going? Okinawa, China, England?”
“I am curious about that too,” Ami added.
“As am I,” Michiru stated. “Why can't we do the here?”
“Actually the place we are going, is the reason why we can't do it here,” Setsuna told them plainly. “You see, we need a place where your connection to Neptune is strongest,” she told Michiru. “Also, we need a place that has few to no distractions and no possibility of anyone disrupting it.”
“Yea right…” Ranma said sarcastically. “Like there's a place on earth where I won't be interrupted at the worst possible moment.”
“That's exactly the point.”
Haruka grumbled. “Would you just tell us and stop this mysteriousness.”
“You're no fun,” Setsuna said with a slight smirk. “But very well, we will all be teleporting to Neptune where the ceremony will take place.” All around Setsuna, there were blank stares and looks.
"Teleporting to Neptune?" Ranma asked though he doubted it was possible.
“But… doesn't Usagi have to have been there at least once to have her teleport us all there?” Ami asked in confusion timidly.
“But I've never been to Neptune!” Their princess wailed.
Ranma blinked and looked at his wives only to see them sigh and shake their heads. “So… how do we get there?”
“Quite simple really,” Setsuna supplied as though it was nothing.
Rei glared at her, “Will you just tell us!”
"Oh, I only have to teleport Usagi to Neptune then bring her back to teleport the rest of you," Setsuna said with a smirk on her face. There was a massive face-fault from all the other scouts as she said that.
Mamoru just sighed; he should have known it would have been something quick like that. “So that is it then, you take here there, then she takes us?”
She just smiled at him, “You do catch on quickly.”
Minako just blinked. “You mean that's it? And Neptune is just a teleport away?”
Ami shook her head. “That's impossible; Neptune is over four billion kilometers away! How can…” she stopped as she realized that they were all able to cast magical blasts and fighting monsters on a normal basis. “Um, never mind.”
Minako blinked. “How far is a kilometer?”
Makoto ground her teeth and looked at her friend, “how could you not know that?!”
The blonde blinked, “But I never measured it... I mean it's not like I carry a tape player around with me all the time!”
“Tape player?” Ranma asked.
“She means a measuring tape,” Haruka supplied.
Ranma blinked as he looked at her and then Michiru. “Um, ok…”
“Anyway…” Setsuna said gaining everyone's attention. “Usagi, are you ready?”
“Um, sure!”
“Good, then you need to transform and then we will be off.”
“O-KAY!” The moon princess said happily and then transformed in front of everyone into Sailor Moon.
Setsuna transformed into Sailor Pluto and smiled. “Very well, let's go.” And with that, the two sailor scouts disappeared in a flash of light.
“You know…” Ranma said with a chuckle.
“What's that?” Asked Michiru.
“Somehow I expected that to be more um... flashy…”
“And the rainbows and multicolored lights weren't flashy enough?” Michiru asked with a grin.
“Naw, it was flashy… but um, when they teleported I was kinda expecting them to at least say somethin' ya know…”
Haruka and Michiru both laughed and stepped up beside him. Ranma placed his arms around them in a casual manner as though he's been doing the same actions for years, not a few days. The other scouts just looked at the close contact between the three and all of them had to wonder if Ranma had known them all his life instead of just a few days.
