Note: This is a multi genre story.

Special Note: This story takes place before the events of "Sailor Moon ST", "The Delightful Hulkusagi", "The Jedi Trials of Sailor Mercury" and the "Legend of Sailor Moon". This story will also replace the original "Bunny-Girl" story.

Author's Note: In others, we start during the Steve Ditko years of comic books, before all that "Spider Clone Saga" nonsense occurred (but will there be a "Bunny Clone Saga" instead? Heh…). Enjoy!

Part 1

(Cue awesome 1960s style theme music, where one can see a girl, dressed in a pink/white bunny suit, hopping about with leaps that put the Hulk to shame.)

"Bunny Girl, Bunny Girl,

Hop about in a twirl.

Jumpin' over or knockin' down,

The usual criminal clowns.

Look out! Here comes the Bunny Girl!

Here comes the Bunny Girl!

Here comes the Bunny Girl!!!"

SPLAT!

Distracted by a fan, the Irresistible Bunny-Girl slams straight into a wall.

"Owie," Bunny-Girl says, as she slides down the side of the building…

Swinging right behind was her crime-fighting partner the Amazing Spider-Man, who had just finished capturing a common crook, shakes his head in stunned disbelief. Then again, for as long as he has known the rascally rabbit, he shouldn't be surprised by anything Bunny-Girl does…

FLASHBACK!

"Bunny-Girl" was really an immortal love goddess and warrior named Usagi Tsukino, the legendary "Moon Princess". In the past, she was simply known as Princess Serenity, heir to the Silver Millennium's "Moon Kingdom. However, thanks to a terrible war, Serenity would be forced to reincarnate as Usagi, and it was only a matter of time before she reclaimed her original status as a "godling". With this realization came the responsibility of protecting others from demons (called youma) and monsters (called kaiju). In the old days, she used to don the guise as the sailor-suited heroine of "love and justice", as "Sailor Moon". And she, as Sailor Moon, would perform her job as well. Unfortunately, circumstances have occurred that had prevents her from donning her "magical girl" guise, as well as place her and her beau, named Ranma Saotome (a powerful martial artist) into the past. With nothing better to do, the Federal government's SHIELD program convinced Usagi and Ranma to "slum it" in Queens, New York, by attending Midtown High School for a special assignment…

"Usagi, come on!" Ranma yells, as he gets his school bag ready. Attending high school yet again was NOT something he was looking forward to. But, as long as he and Usagi were assigned to look after Richard and Mary Parker's son (called "Operation: Peter's Blanket"), he was stuck living the life of a teenager…again. Still, he had worked with the Parkers during his and Usagi's more clandestine days, and felt somewhat obligated to look after their son Peter. He and Usagi would have adopted the boy, but Richard's older brother Ben and his wife May were legally entitled to take him in…

Nevertheless, due to the fact that it was the Red Skull, a Nazi super-soldier, who was involved in the Parkers' "missing-in-action" status, SHILED felt the need to have someone protect young Peter: Ranma and Usagi.

"We're going to be late for school!"

Usagi comes down the stairs with her pet rabbit, which she calls "Little Peter"…much to Peter's consternation. Ranma was not exactly the type of person that would run in Peter Parker's circle of friends, being a "jock" and all, but Usagi was.

"Sorry about that," Usagi said, as she sets down Peter's cage on the kitchen table. "I was just getting Little Peter ready."

"What's to get him ready for?"

"Well, watch. Little Peter?"

Little Peter began tapping on a make shift piano that she had made. The keys were electronically based, so that the rabbit could actually play crappy electronic music. In this case, the rabbit was playing "Twinkle, Twinkle".

"See?" Usagi beamed. "Little Peter will help me win a 'First Place' at the Science Fair contest today."

"That's the contest being held at the New York Hall of Science," Ranma said, as he poured himself a glass of orange juice.

"Yep. Each school in the city will have their science fair contest there, which will lead to the 'best of the best' competition."

"Well, I happen to be entering the science fair as well," Ranma said. "Well, not really, but..."

"But what?"

"A…friend at school wanted help on her science fair, as a way of passing one of her classes."

"'Her'?"

"Just a schoolmate."

"…"

"Honest!"

"Oh, okay. At any rate…"

Usagi picks up Little Peter's cage.

"THIS is a masterpiece in creativity will win the top prize, me thinks."

Little Peter plays a few notes.

TING, TING, TING, TUUUUUUM!

"See? Can you tell me who else could teach a bunny rabbit how to play the piano?" Usagi said sweetly.

"No, I guess not…"

And then, the door bell rings.

"I wonder who that could be?" Usagi said, as she sets down the cage back on the table.

"Probably someone from CWS," Ranma said smirk. He hated the fact that Child Welfare Services were called to the house frequently, since no one has seen his parents around. Thankfully, his SHIELD connections tend to make such inquires as few as possible.

"Well, all we have to use a 'Neuralizer', and then we will have one LESS inquisitive mind to worry about-"

CHUNK!

Usagi opens the front door to see a silver-haired, teenaged girl. For some reason, she had the grace of a dancer…

"Felicia," Usagi said with a frown. Felicia Harding was the 'bad girl' of Forrest Hills. For some reason, Felicia has taken an interest in Ranma.

"Bunny," Felicia replied. "Is Ronnie, home? I'm supposed to walk with him to school today, so we can do…science together."

"Just a minute," Usagi said, as she turns towards the kitchen "Ranma! Your 'friend' is here!"

"You don't mind me walking to school with Ronnie?" Felicia said.

"No, I do not," Usagi said through gritted teeth.

Just then, Ranma enters the main foyer.

"Hey, Felicia," Ranma said with nervous here. "You're here."

"Yes, I like to get things done early," Felicia said, as she wrapped her arms around Ranma's left arm. "Shall we?"

"Um, see you later?" Ranma said nervously, as he and Felicia walk out the door together, passing Peter down the walkway.

"Hey, Ronnie," Peter said.

"Hey, Pete," Ranma said.

"Hello, Petey," Felicia said, as she and Ranma went on to Midtown High School.

"Wow," Peter said, amazed that Ranma had a beautiful girl on her arm.

SLAM!

Startled upon hearing the door being slammed, Peter turns towards an perturbed Usagi, as she hurriedly carried Little Peter's covered cage.

"Hey, Usagi-" Peter began to say.

"'Morning," Usagi said, as she went by Peter in a hurry.

"Ah," Peter said, as he followed his friend to school.

Later that day…

CLICK!

"Smile!" Peter said, as he took pictures of various students in the exhibit hall, including his best friend Usagi. He had known the girl for a long time, though, for some reason, no one knows what her parents looked like…

"Thanks, Peter," Usagi said, as she finished poising in front of her exhibit. "It's too bad you're not entering this year."

"Eh, I don't mind," replied Peter. "Besides, the Photography Club is depending on me on having these pictures ready for the newspaper club…"

"Well, we got plenty of time before the judges begin making their rounds," said Mary Jane Watson (of the Cheerleading Club), as she and fellow debutante Gwen Stacy (of the Newspaper Club) places boxes full of school memorabilia on a nearby table. The two volunteered to support the students from Midtown in their bid to collect the most awards…

"And that means I have a chance to set up my exhibit," Gwen says.

"Well, I can help you," Usagi offered.

"Yeah, well, no offense, but I am your competitor, remember?

"Ouch," Peter said.

"Anyway, why don't you and Peter go to see Dr. Otto Octavius? He should be still giving his demonstration on radiation."

"Me?" Usagi replied.

"Yes. I'm suppose to do an article for the school paper, and you can do me a favor by jotting down some notes for me, for me to write up later."

"I suppose that makes sense-"

"Hey, what do we have HERE," said Eugene "Flash" Thompson. "'Puny Parker hanging around the girls."

"Hey, Flash," Peter said meekly.

"Flash, what are YOU doing here?" Gwen said.

"Participation points," Flash said.

"I doubt YOU jocks will appreciate the fine art of Science."

"No, we don't," Flash said, he pulls out a whistle. "But we DO know how to have fun with the nerds."

With that, Flash blows his whistle, signaling his fellow jocks to cause havok."

TWEEET!

BOOM!

A firecracker goes off, causing panic in the science exhibit room.

"Ah!" screamed a student, as pandemonium.

"Flash, how could you?" Mary said, as the school jock laughed.

And then a student, in the rush to exit the exhibit room, a student knocks over Little Peter's cage, causing Little Peter to tumble out of his now broken cage.

"Little Peter!" Usagi cried, as the rabbit runs off, along with a number of other animals from other science projects.

Flash continues to laugh, until he feels a hand on his right shoulder.

"Wha-?"

"Buddy," Ranma said, as he turns Flash around. "You did all this?"

Flash sees that Felicia was hanging on Ranma's arm…

"So, this is the creep who scared Bastet?" Felicia said with annoyance.

"I suppose it is…"

"What's it to you, Saotome?" Flash said. "We're jocks…it's what we DO."

"Well, think about what I'm going to do to you, if you and your boys don't start making amends…NOW."

Flash wanted to retort, but the look on Ranma's face told him to tread lightly…

"Sure, whatever, man."

"Yeah, whatever."

"Oh, no," Usagi wailed. "Little Peter is gone."

"Then let's go and find him," Peter said. "I think I saw him going to the Dr. Octavius' lab."

"Oh, okay," said Usagi. She then turns Ranma. "At least SOMEONE is doing SOMETHING."

"Fine," Ranma said. "We need to find Bastet anyway."

"What was your science project, Felicia?" Stacy asked.

"Singing cat?" Felicia said.

"Oh."

"Hey, maybe we can get a jam session together or something," Usagi suggested, as she, Peter, Ranma and Felicia left the exhibit hall. "You know, between with my Little Peter and with your Bastet."

"Uh, I DON'T think so," Felicia said.

A short time later, there was pandemonium in Dr. Octavius' lab.

"Hey!" Dr. Octavius yells, as everyone was running around. "Who let these creatures in here-?"

CAAWW-CAAWWW-!

A falcon crashes into an energy apparatus, redirecting the streams of energy between the nodes. This causes the streams to move about wildly…

ZAAARRK!

The energy stream hits a spider.

ZARRK!

The energy stream then hits Usagi's rabbit Pete.

ZARRK!

The energy stream finally hits Felicity's cat Bastet.

ZARK! ZAARK! ZAARK-!

The energy streams move about the lab wildly, hitting animals and people…

"Ah!" Dr. Octavius yells, as the energy streams hits him, causing his mechanical arms to move about wildly before he collapsed into a state of unconsciousness. Thankfully, the auto-shut mechanism deactivates the nodes.

Hmmmm…

"Pete, do you see Usagi's rabbit?" Ranma said, as he scans the room.

"I don't see him," Peter said, as he began taking pictures of the pandemonium.

"Peter, I need your help," Usagi said.

"Don't worry, I will," Peter said. "But I just want to take these pictures for the school paper…"

CLICK!

Unknown to Peter, a spider, from one of the science project from the other room, creeps onto Peter's hand, and-

"Ow!" Peter yelped.

"Show you right," Usagi said, as she stuck out her tongue at her friend. She then continues her scan of the room, until

"Ah," Usagi said, as she reaches for Little Peter. "I've found you-"

Little Peter, who was still scared from earlier, bites Usagi's hand.

"Owie!"

"Usagi!" Ranma said, as he rushed over to Usagi. "You okay?"

"I guess," Usagi said, as he looked at her bite wound. And then-

"Ouch!" cried Felicia.

Ranma turns to see Felicia nursing her hand.

"You okay, Felicia?"

"I guess so…"

"Well, we better get out here before we pay for this," Ranma said.

"Wait," Usagi said, as she rushed over to Dr. Octavius. "Otto needs help."

"'Otto'?" Ranma said.

"From Empire State Uninversity."

"Oh," Ranma said, as he recalls a time when Usagi had taught a 'Philosophy of Science' course there. Unknown to them at the time, many of her students would come up into the world as science-based 'superheroes'…or 'super-villains'.

Ranma then turns to see a woozy Peter and Felicia.

"Peter!" Ranma said. "Felicia!"

"I feel strange, Ronnie," Felicia said, as she and Peter begin to fall.

Ranma catches Felicia and Peter before they hit the floor.

"Usagi, I think Peter and Felicia is suffering from radiation poisoning," Ranma said, as he turns to see Usagi collapsing. "Usagi?"

"I don't understand," Usagi said, as her breath labored. "Why am I so…weak…?"

CLUMP!

"Usagi!"

Tbc.

Next Time: Our "flashback" continues, as Usagi, Peter and Felicia undergo a metamorphosis, resulting in the acquirement of "super-powers"! See you then, true believers!
