[Night Warriors:Memories}
High atop a cliff, overlooking an expanse of forest, Ryu sat meditating. A gentle breeze blew his wild hair and the red bandana that kept it out of his eyes. His tattered, white martial arts gi was all he needed to protect himself against the chill the mountain air brought. Not far away laid his brown duffel bag which contained all of his worldly possessions. Ryu's spirit was tapped into the energy of the galaxy, still trying to understand why, even though he was the best fighter in the world, he didn't feel like he was. Suddenly an image slowly formed in his mind.
[FF7:Those chosen by the planet]
Concentrating harder, Ryu could discern the fact that it was a dark man. He wore black armor with a giant, silver long sword strapped to his back. Long gray hair cascaded down his back, but Ryu sensed that the dark man was a young as he was. Then the image faded from Ryu's mind like a fog retreating from sunlight. Ryu fought to keep the image but to no avail. He just sat there wondering, "Is this the person that will defeat me?"
[Sailor Moon:It's A New Day]
Japan: In this bustling country, the day was just starting for a certain, young girl and her cat. "Yaah! I can't believe I'm so late! Luna, how come you didn't wake me up earlier?! Now I'm gonna get detention for sure!" The girl jumped out of her bed and quickly changed into her school uniform, complaining and whining the entire time. She was about 14 years old and about average height. She looked perfectly normal except for her hair. Her blond hair was tied back into two pigtails that stretch almost to the floor, at the very top though; they took on the distinct look of a pair of meatballs.
"It's not my fault you forgot to set your alarm clock, Serena," her remarkable talking cat, Luna, chided. You see, even though Serena was the defender of Earth, Sailor Moon, she was never big on responsibility. Leaving a trail of dust flying behind her, she raced off to school, not really noticing the occasional passer-by. That is, not until she ran into one.
"Oww! My head," Serena cried.
[Sailor Moon:Tuxedo Mask Theme]
"Oh, I'm sorry, my little meatball head," Darien apologized when he realized who ran into him. "Darien!" Serena squealed before hugging him tightly. "I see your late for school again," Serena's would-be boyfriend noticed, "why don't I just walk you there." "Oh! Would you?" begged Serena with her giant puppy dog eyes. "Sure!" he agreed, and with that, she grabbed his arm and they both strolled down the street, her head resting on his arm.
[Ranma Vol 1:Life as Usual]
Elsewhere in Japan, the sun was also dawning over the Tendo dojo. The occupants of this training studio consisted of the Tendo family: Soun Tendo, the father; Kasumi, the oldest daughter and mother figure for the family; Nabiki, the middle daughter and all-around extortionist; and Akane the youngest daughter and betrothed to their house guest Ranma Saotome. Ranma and his father, Genma Saotome, were staying at the Tendo's house after a 16 year training journey and have settled down to wait for the day when Ranma will reluctantly marry Akane. It looked like a peaceful place but if it weren't for the constant stream fiancées that came looking for Ranma or the super martial artist that was looking to separate the various parts of his anatomy all over Tokyo. And in this case, the morning was beginning with Ranma and Genma training furiously in the backyard while Kasumi was cooking breakfast inside.
[Ranma Vol 1: No Surrender]
"Come on, boy, I know you can do better than that!" Genma shouted to Ranma as he hit him in the chest. Ranma just picked himself off the ground and grinned at his father.
"You're gonna be real sorry you said that," Ranma threatened and lept at his father. Throwing punches faster that the human eye could see, Ranma launched an attack that would flatten most men, but his father dodged each one with ease. Then with a grace that betrayed his age, Genma lifted Ranma up and threw him into the pond in the middle of the yard.
"Hey! What'cha do that for?" the girl that emerged from the pond asked. Ranma's father just crossed his arms and smirked. He knew that Ranma hated his cursed form more than anything, except maybe Akane's cooking. Ever since that fateful day in Jusenkyo, Ranma was destined to transform into a girl when ever he came in contact with cold water and only hot water could reverse the effects.
"You're slacking off boy, "his father pointed out, "it must be because no one has come looking for you lately. Well then, I guess you'll just have to do better in practice then." Suddenly Kasumi's cry broke over the lecture that Genma was giving his son.
"Breakfast, you two! Come on in!"
"All right!" shouted Ranma-chan. Then as she and Genma were about to enter the house, Ranma-chan grabbed the back of her dad's gi and with a roll and a push of her foot; sent him flying into the exact same pond that she had just crawled out of. Genma's cursed Panda form lept out of the water and chased his son into the house. And so the day went.
Halfway across the globe, the day was just ending for everyone's favorite wall-crawler, Spiderman. As he swung from building to building all that was on his mind was his lovely wife, Mary Jane. "Man, I should be spending much more time with Mary Jane. I don't see how she has managed to put up with a husband who is never there for her. I'm just glad she's so understanding." It wasn't until he passed over Xavier Mansion that he realized how far he had wandered off. "Well, while I'm here I might as well stop for a visit," he thought.
Wolverine was getting in some down time in a quick card game with the cajun, Gambit, and Gambit's wanna-be lover, Rogue. And both Logan and Rogue were losing very badly. "I smell a cheater in this room," Logan growled.
"Hey, dis Cajun only plays dem as dey are delt," was Gambit's innocent reply.
Wolverine unsheathed his adamantium claws. "I'll rip your thief's hide off you and maybe we'll find a hidden card or two."
Rogue shot out, "Hey, we don't need no displays of your macho attitude, Wolvie." Rogue knew that her would-be date was cheating, but she was getting tired of the game anyway. She was just about to call it off and retire to some easy TV watching when they heard a knock on the window.
"Now who could dat be?" the Cajun asked as he made his way to the window. When he opened it he was greeted by an upside down Spiderman.
"Hey guys...and girls," Spidy said, noticing Rogue, "Care to deal me a hand?" Gambit's surprise turned into an evil grin.
"Of course mon ami, we're always looking for new suckers...I mean players."
[FF7: Barret's Theme]
On a planet, halfway across the galaxy, the smoking city of Midgar was being rebuilt after the disastrous battle with the dark sorcerer, Sephiroth. Leading the rebuilding was three of the warriors that were original inhabitants of the huge city. Cloud stood beside Barret and Tifa and watched the massive cranes lift the debris off the totaled Sector 7. "We are making much progress," Cloud said breaking the silence. "We really are," Tifa agreed, "Soon people can start rebuilding their lives instead of their homes." Barret grunted in agreement. Suddenly Cloud's pocket started to beep. He reached in and pulled out the PHS that the former members of his team always kept to keep in touch with each other. It was the pilot of Highwind, Cid.
[FF7: Cid's Theme]
"How ya doin' Cloud?" came Cid's gruff voice. "Fine Cid, but what's up?" "Well, I was doin' my patrol of the North Continent when I saw the crater had a light glowing at the bottom of it. I didn't think it was anything to worry about, but I thought you might want to know." Cloud's brow furrowed in concentration. "Thanks Cid, keep me informed."
"You don't think that Sephiroth could be...?"Tifa worried. "Naw, we saw Cloud here kick his @#$% personally. Didn't we?" Barret said turning towards Cloud. Cloud just shook his head. "I...don't know?"
