This is a fic idea that would not leave me alone so I decided that instead of waiting until I finish my other two fics I will start this one. This fic will be a sailor moon Ranma and Excalibur crossover. For those that do not know Excalibur is an awesome movie from the 70's I think it is in my opinion the best king Arthur movie ever.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

A man in European armor was ambushed in the forest. The man knowing death was near, stood defiantly and yelled, "No-one shall wield Excalibur but me." Thrusting the sword into a large rock bordering a nearby stream the man collapsed and escaped into deaths embrace.

Time passed.

Tournaments were held, to see who was worthy of wielding the sword of kings.

Time passed, the land was in chaos.

A boy dressed as a squire searched for a sword for his older brother. He contemplated stealing one but then decided that that would not be honorable. The boy came across a clearing where the sword of Uther Pendragon stood half buried in a large rock. Looking around the boy saw no one around. Deciding that if he could free the sword his brother and father would forgive him for losing his brothers sword, the boy braced himself and pulled.

The sword came free giving off an unnatural light as it reflected the suns rays. A man dressed as a minor noble came into the clearing and yelled, "Quickly put the sword back, put it back before anyone notices."

The boy was afraid; he listened to the man and returned the sword to its prison. As the sword was returned a knight, named Ulrich rode into the field followed by a mass of people. Ulrich shoved the boy out of the way and attempted to free the sword. He was unsuccessful. Various other knights tried in vain to free the sword.

The people cried out, "Let the boy try." After a lot of jeering from the crowd the boy's father pushed him forward.

The boy steeled himself, with fire in his eye's he lifted the sword out of the stone once again.

Many were outraged.

Leon De Grance called out, "If a boy has been chosen than the boy shall be king."

Some agreed, others were still outraged.

A man wearing a metal skullcap came out from the forest.

Many of the crowd recognized him and yelled, "Merlin what type of trickery is this. We have not forgotten you." Those same people recoiled out of fear and left the field.

The boy was confused, he went to his father and asked, "Father I can not be king, you are my father surely you or my brother are more worthy."

The man looked at the boy with love in his eyes and said, "No, we are not worthy, more importantly I am not your father."

"You are not my father than who is?"

The man smiled at the boy and said, "When you were but a baby Merlin came to me and bid me to raise you as my own. At first I did it out of fear but then it was out of love."

The boy looked around for the man named Merlin and saw him leaving back into the wilderness in which he came. Panicked the boy chased after him.

It was twilight when the boy had caught up to the wizard. After a meal, Merlin laid himself down to sleep. The boy was scared, he had never spent a lot of time out in the wild by himself, hearing noises the boy swung his sword around awaiting an attack from the darkness.

Merlin was behind the boy and said, "What are you afraid of?"

The boy startled jumped around only to be face to face with the legendary wizard. With his voice shaking the boy said, "I don't know."

"Would you like me to tell you?"

The boy nodded.

"The dragon."

Stepping back the boy asked what's the dragon."

Merlin chuckled, with his eye's glowing he said, "The dragon is that tree, that rock, the bird that calls into the night, and he is life."

The night passed.

The next day the boy woke up to breakfast.

Merlin asked, "So now that you are king what will you do?"

The boy looked at the wizard and said, "I need knights, at the tournament, Leon De Grance was in favor of me, but others were against him."

Merlin smiled and said, "Quickly then, now as we speak his castle is under siege. We must return to the others."

At castle De Grance

A vision of beauty was defending her home, she was in danger the boy saved her. The battle was won.

There was a feast to celebrate the young king's rise to the throne, bored with the festivities the king wandered out of the castle and approached Merlin. He asked if she would be his queen. Merlin responded, "She will be your queen but she is not your destiny."

Time passed.

The king was at a bridge, his men had been attempting to cross, but it was in vain. Seeing no other night capable of fighting the king stood before the challenger himself.

The battle was fierce, seeing no other option the king called upon the power of Excalibur and struck the brave knight. The knight collapsed as the sword broke into two. The king was shamed he had broken what could not be broken, destroyed the sword that had been forged when the world was new. As emotions ran unchecked through his soul, he chucked the now useless sword into the water.

The boy grieved at his arrogance. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his sword lifting out of the water. Merlin told him to take it. He rushed into the water and reclaimed the now whole sword.

The knight introduced himself as Lancelot.

Time passed, a kingdom was built, the land prospered. The Knights of the Round Table spread peace throughout the land.

The king found his sister, Morganna the daughter of Egrain.

Morganna was jealous of her half brother; she went to Merlin and convinced him to train her.

Time passed.

The king was betrayed by his wife and best friend.

Morganna grew in power and imprisoned Merlin.

One unholy night Morganna came to her brother using the dragon to alter her appearance to look like his queen and seduced her brother.

A child was conceived and the land fell into darkness.

Fearing for his people the king sent his knights out to quest for the grail so that they might restore the land, because the king was the land and as one prospered so did the other.

Percival was alone; the majority of the knights either had betrayed the king or had died.

A boy appeared before his father and demanded his sword, the king declined.

War was coming.

Percival found the grail and returned to his king.

Restored to his health the king called his foster brother and rode out to war with the last of his knights.

The land blossomed once more.

The night before the battle Merlin appeared before the King and told him of his imprisonment."

That same night Merlin as a ghostly apparition tricked Morganna and imprisoned her after she was almost slain by her own son.

Lancelot rejoined his king and the battle was joined. It was fierce but in the end the king mortally wounded managed to kill his own son, after seeing that Lancelot was slain.

As he lay their dieing, Percival came before him. Knowing that he was dieing the king sent Percival to return Excalibur to the land.

Percival returned and tried to lie to his king but was unable to do so.

The king was frustrated but knew the sword must be returned to the calm waters until it is needed once more, he instructed Percival once more to dispose of the sword.

This time Percival obeyed, as he returned he saw a ship in the sea. The ship bore the markings of Avalon, dropping to his knees Percival knew that his king had died and was being prepared for his next life.

Ranma woke and looked around, the dream it was real. He could feel it in his soul, he was Arthur, he was Ranma, and he was the prince of Avalon and destiny beckoned for him. Rising up from his futon, Ranma crept over to his window careful not to alert the sleeping panda. Silently he crawled out to the roof and jumped down to the ground.

In his soul, he could feel himself being pulled in the direction of the koi pond. Standing before the pond Ranma looked into the water and saw a ghostly image in the water. Slowly just as it was in his dream Excalibur rose up through the water. Reaching down he grasped the sword and felt a swelling of power build up within himself. The power was too great, he was slowly losing conciseness, knowing that the sword needed to be protected he reached down into his soul and came across a hidden memory. With a flick of his wrist the sword of kings vanished into subspace.

----------------- Across town -----------------

A man stood before a window looking across the city. As his gaze pointed into familiar direction he whispered, "Arthur, my friend, soon it will be time to embrace your destiny that was denied to you before."

------------------- In Juban --------------

A young woman dreamed of the past, she was dancing, she knew joy and love. A man danced with her, he was handsome and proud, and there was no obstacle he could overcome.

-------- In an apartment not far away from the young woman --------

A man dreamed, this dream was unlike any he had before, in this dream the history of his past was revealed.

A great warrior born from common folk rose up though a great army of man. This army had no mages, many would consider them barbarians. However, where they went order and justice was known where once there was chaos.

Two small kingdoms both magical in nature, where mages were common, had princesses with no prince to engage them to. The queens of this kingdom were friends and wished to call each other sisters, but it was not to be.

Both queens took notice of a young warrior king who was known for his pursuits of justice and order. The queens decided to seek out this man and ask him to consider their daughters to be his queens.

The man was uncertain at first, but as time passed, the three grew to love each other. More time passed and the kingdom of Samaria was born, it had three capitals, Atlantis, which was northeast, and Avalon, which was northwest. It was the greatest of all earth born kingdoms it incorporated the magic of Avalon and the technology of Atlantis.

Time passed

The two-neo queens bore a son apiece, the prince of Atlantis was named Endymon, and the prince of Avalon was named Arthur the first. As the two princes grew up Arthur became so much like his father. His brother sought less straining pursuits, he was often found in his garden, or in the library.

On Arthur's tenth birthday he was given a sword said to be crafted by the gods themselves, his brother became jealous, he was no warrior, he was arrogant, snobbish and had little interest in fighting.

Four years later

Above in the skies a queen watched, she saw great potential and felt that it was time to unite with the kingdom of earth. She decided to visit the great king with her daughter with hopes of uniting the kingdoms.

Princess Serenity the fourth the young prince of Avalon, but also befriended the prince of Atlantis. Endymon's jealousy grew, his half brother was always treated better, he had fame and glory, woman swooned at the mere mention of his name, but Prince Arthur the first had eyes only for Serenity the fourth.

Arthur became cursed by a powerful witch, it was a chaos curse. One year later he was killed, circumstances unknown.

Princess Serenity wept and mourned for almost two years, during that time Endymon rarely left her side.

It was the eve of the moon kingdoms demise when Endymon was soul- bonded with Serenity the fourth; they were to be wed in a year.

Mamoru Chiba woke with a start, he could feel his brothers sword.

---------------- Elsewhere -------------

Another young man was dreaming, in his dream he was the son of a great king, but he wanted nothing from his father but his sword. When his father offered him love he chose war instead.

-------------- Back in Nerima ----------

A woman woke with a start, she felt power, and she wanted to wield it for herself.

---------------------------------------------------------------

This is a short chapter, well actually it's the prolouge. I felt that it was necessary for the basic plot of Excalibur to be written . Forgive me for not doing it justice. Also I chose to combine a few myths about Merlin, basically he is combined from a miniseries that I forgot the name of but basically all I got from it was that Merlin ages backwards so he can predict the future. However, his predictions are less accurate than Pluto's. As you can see this is an altraverse, Ranma it is after the failed wedding, sailor moon is after the defeat of Pharaoh 90.
