The Kingdom Comes Again

Chapter One:

Disclaimer: I may not have mentioned it, but on top of using mostly charecters who are NOT mine, and infact do belong to many people far more talented, and likely more interesting then me, it is also my first fanfiction. Be gentle.

Perhaps I should tell you of your allies, before I speak of your new enemies.

The Sailor Senshi where the guardians of our queen and princess, as well as the keepers of peace throughout the system. Each one was a Princess in her own right, and guardian of her familys planet, who where chosen by fate or magic to defend "Love and Justice" as they liked to put it.

Each was very powerful in her own right, but as a team they where nearly unbeatable. They where, of course, not alone. There was a Military in the Silver Millinium, The navy being the most prestigious, as well as Peacekeepers and constibles. The best of these even became Knights of the House Honor. Saddly the Queen could only rescue the Senshi and the Prince of Earth, and send them to your time.

The Lord of Evil knows this, and knows the Senshis power possibly better then the Sailors themselves. Without help they can't defeat him even with there power and they had the Navy and Soldiers the first time they fought. This time they have no one, except you.

Please, don't step away from them. Please, be their allies. They have to many enemies for you to leave them to their fate.

Chapter One:

Crossing of Destinys

"Why the heck did she have to hit me so hard?" Muttered the rather battered looking young man as he climbed out of the crater he had landed in. Dusting the dirt and debries off of his less then perfectly maintained clothing, and streatching his muscles, making sure his movements where as supple as they should be. A Martial Artist has to be able to move after all.

He then looked around, trying to get his bearings; having traveled a fair distance after an enraged Ukyo Kounji used her mega spatula of doom on him. "Great, Where the hell am I NOW!"

With that Ryoga Hibiki stomped over to a nearby resturant, looking for directions, and maybe a payphone.

Minako, aka Sailor Venus, aka Sailor V, was havng a fairly bad day. First, she was late for class and got detention, then she ripped her skirt while changing for gym, then, on top of all that, she comes to the trusty ole Crown Arcade and Fruit Parlor only to discover they ran out of her favorite Ice Cream. Life was so unfair!

And now, she looses the Sailor V Game she was playing while waitng for the others to show up. Getting up, muttering about unrealistic games and how that move WOULD have worked in real life, she walks to the macine for more tokens.

"Thanks Kasumi, I hate to ask, but the only pack I know where it is, is at the Dojo."

Minako looked up, the boy on the phone bumping into her as she got her tokens. He turned, and nodded an appology, giving a shy and apologetic smile as he stepped back, and turned back to the phone, listenng to what the Woman on the other side of the line was saying.

Minako, on the other hand, gasped (Dramatically), and thought to her self 'He is SOO cute!' Little hearts playing in her eyes for a few moments. Then snapping back to reality she looked quickly around to make sure Mokoto, Sailor Jupiter and the SECOND most boy crazed of the Senshi wasn't in sight, and decided she was going to lay clear claim to this one right away.

Ryoga, meanwhile, continued talking to Kasumi Tendo "Ummm, not that I don't appreciate it, but does it have to be Ranma? I mean, couldn't you…or maybe A.Akane?" He paused "Oh, shes out." Pause again. "Oh Okay. Just tell him I don't owe HIM anything, since you're the one I asked for the Favor." Kasumi giggled at Ranmas friend being silly again, then asked where he was, and told him to ask someone near him. (Kasumi may seem oblvious, but this IS Ryoga)

Turning, Ryoga spots the girl he bumped into just a few minutes ago. Wondering absently why she seemed to be staring at the wall behind him he spoke "Excuse me, but could you tell me where I am?"

Minako shook herself out of the daze, and smiled her best smile for the cute new boy of the arcade "You're in the Crown Fruit Parlor."

"Um..No..What ward am I in?" Ryoga asked, then got suspicous "This is still Tokyo, Right?"

Minako blinked, and nodded. "Um, Jubban Ward, Tokyo..Just a few blocks from the High School."

Ryoga smiled and said thank you, then relayed the information to Kasumi who told him to wait right there for Ranma.

Hanging up, he turned to watch the door to wait. Then turned because some one tapped him on the shoulder.

"Yeah..Oh, sorry, didn't I thank you for the help?" Ryoga grinned embarrased, scratchng the back of his head.

"Oh no, not at all, I was just wanting to introduce myself, I'm Minako Aino?" Smilling again.

"Ryoga Habiki. Nice to meet you." Ryoga smiled nervously back, his brain just catchng up to the fact that there was a very pretty girl smiling at him.

"Nice to meet you to. I take it your waiting for someone to pick you up?" Minako cheerfully asked.

"Um, sorta, yeah." He blinked "Oh, do you need me to move so you can use the phone?"

"No, I just was wondering if you would like some company? I am waiting for my friends and figured company might be nice."

"Ahh, well..I don't want you to have to stand here and I need to wait, and watch the door for my, umm…friend." Thinking to himself 'Ranma, you better hurry or I will KILL you."

Blinking in confusion, the Senshi of Love looked at the door Ryoga had gestured to, then shrugged. "Well, we could sit in a booth near the window, then you can watch for them there!"

"Can't. I might get lost, and I don't have a pack."

"Um, Ryoga..There only a few meters away, you can't get lost." Minako frowned, wondering if he was brushing her off, and just adding to her bad day.

Ryoga, of course, having roughly the same abilities with dealing with frowning women as some people named Saotome started panicing. "Okay, sure..Heh..Just, don't let me get lost, okay.. Heh.." He sighed when she smiled.

Minako, thinking he must be shy, since he is acting that way smiled. "Sure, I'll even hold your hand if you want." Winking.

Again, the Social inequitys of your average Nerima Grade Martial Artist kicked in. "Thanks, would you?"

Minako, never one to miss a chance, grabbed his hand with a smile. 'Ha, got him. And already holding hands. Won't be long and Usagi won't be the only one with a boyfriend.'

Breaking out of the emerging fantasy with a supreme force of will, she led him over to a window booth with a smile. "Oh, Ryoga, um..Why WERE you watching the mens room for your friend, anyway?"

Ryoga blinked. "That's not the front door?"

"Sure, Kasumi, I'll take Pork butt his pack…did you feel that?" Ranma Saotome, of the Anything Goes school of Martial arts, said to his fiancee' (Number 1) sister.

"Feel what, Ranma?"

Ranma shrugged and chuckled. "Actually, it felt like I just avoided getting hit by something. Strange. Any way, where is Ryogas pack, and I'll run it out to him."

"Right here, Ranma," Kasumi said, holding it up. "I made sure to wash everything in it for him, and even put in some more packs of Ramen for him so he doesn't get hungry." Smiling, and totally oblivious to Ranmas expression as she handed him the pack, which most people can't lift, with one hand.

Ranma shrugged, and shouldered the heavy pack 'well, she IS a Tendo. I know she trained a little, and Akanes strength HAS to be family.' Grinning 'Not like it's the umbrella after all.'

Ranma turned for the door, but wasn't a few steps before Kasumi called him back.

"Oh, and I found one of his umbrellas, make sure to give it to him, would you?" settling the uber-umbrealla into its spot on the pack with a smile. "Are you okay Ranma?"

Ranma, meanwhile, discovered that facefaulting with Ryogas gear really, really hurt.

Kho Lon hopped down the stairs on her trusty staff, and into the kitchen. "Shan Fu, I have to go out of the Resturant for a while. Can I trust you and Mou Su from destroying the kitchen while I am gone?"

"Yes Great Grandmother. Where you go?" The Blue haired amazon in question replied, quickly stepping off of the OTHER amazon in question, whom she had been 'punishing' for glomping the stove. Or rather, for thinking it was her.

The Elder chuckled, causing the battered Mou Su to flinch. "That's a surprise, Shan Fu. You just keep the resturant running, and I should be back before the rush."

"Yes, Great Grandmother" The bubbly Chinesse girl said,

Koh Lon cane hopped her way out of the Resturant and to the Roofs, thinking back to the phone conversation she had several days before.

"Elder, there is someone on the Phone asking to speak to you." Mou Su, also called Mousse called up the stairs.

Koh Lon hopped over to the upstairs line and picked it up, "Very Well Mou Su, I have got it. This is Koh Lon, who is this?"

"Hello 'Mother', how are you?" The male voice answered, with a chuckle. "Kaga? Haven't heard from you in quite some time. Has Luan Te caught up with you yet?" Koh Lon replied wth a smile, and the old joke.

"More like I am trying to keep up with her, especially lately.' Then his voice turned serious 'Elder, we found something disturbing, and I would like your oppinon of it.'

Koh Lon instantly became interested. Luan Te and Kaga rarely needed advice. "Something unusual I take it?"

"Even for us. Have you ever heard of 'The Scribe of the Sacred Cave?'"

"According to stories, he was an imortal scribe, writing history as it went, and lived somewhere in the mountains of China. Why?"

"We found him, I think. Only he wasn't so immortal, and the history he kept is of things I know nothing about. Luan Te thought some of the things he mentions DOES appear in Amazon lore, but I was adopted, so I don't know."

"I assume you want to come for a visit?" hearing the affirmative "Well, Shan Fu will like having her Brother around to ride herd on Mou Su, and if I can help, I will, Of course."

"Good, just what I hopped to hear, though Mou Su is a rude surprise. Well, not really." Chuckles "Then if you wouldn't mind, meet me and Luan at the airport." Quickly giving the flight information "Oh, and would you go to this address and make sure the movers have access tomarrow. We already arranged Lodgings and such, but we had a sudden hold up on leaving Hong Kong, so I can't watch them."

"Yes Young One. I could use the extra hands in the resturant anyway."

"Sorry, Elder. I have a job arranged already at the High School, Furinken." Chucklng again, then evil slipping into the voice. "Though Luan seemed to forget to send Resumes ahead. I am sure she would be happy to help."

Koh Lon laughed a sound that caused atleast three people to decide Okinomiaki sounded like a better dinner choice. "I am sure she would...And why do you keep calling her Luan? Her name is Luan Te."

"After the five Hundredth person called her Laundry, SHE decided to drop the last sylible all on her own. I am sure you can relate 'Cologne'."

"I got used to it. I will make sure the movers behave, and you are picked up. Should I assume your usual antics, or is this to serious?"

"Wouldn't want Shan…or should I say Shampoo to feel slighted would we? Sides, Luan would likely enjoy surprising her 'favorite' cousin Mou Su as well." Chuckling again. "Well, I have to go..Packing and all. See you in a couple of days, Mother."

Koh Lon chuckled. Sure Her adoptive son was bringing her another problem for her plate, besides the Son-in-Law, but for a three hundred year old martial arts mistress, boredom is the real enemy. And with the walkng Chaos of Luan Te, Kaga, AND Ranma Saotome with in the same city, things won't be boring for quite a while.

Ryoga was actually loosening up, finally. Sure, he was sitting at a table with a very pretty girl, and yes, he had noticed. But he was finally able to talk and she actually seemed interested.

"So, anyway, there I was, just minding my own buisness walking down the street, and ths HUGE boar attacked me.."

"No! but you said that happened your last story." Minako said grinning.

Ryoga laughed embarrased. "Well, I have a lot of problems with pigs, for some reason…" 'Ranma' "but like I said, it attacked me, and I knocked it out, and before I knew it, there was Akari, a friend of mine now, say she could get married now."

"Why was that?"

"Her grandfather said she could only marry a man who could beat her prized sumo pig." Ryoga saddened then, and sighed.

Minako, who was going to be upset, noticed the ever-depressed boy get, well, depressed, "whats wrong?"

"Hmm? Oh. We kinda...Broke up I guess. I couldn't ever find her farm when I wanted to, and a guy in the same town asked her out…for the best all around I guess."

"Poor guy. If its any Consolation, I think it will all work out all right." Meanwhile thinking to herself 'Yes! This day is definitely getting better.'

"Minako!" Called the voice of another girl, from the front door, and Minako stood to wave as she walked over. Ryoga looked up and had to blink a few times.

"Ami, meet Ryoga. Ryoga, this is one of my best friends Ami."

"Um, Hi…" Ryoga said, blinking.

"Hello, very nice to meet you." Ami said with a smile.

Minako motioned for Ami to sit down, across from Ryoga, while she claimed the spot next to him for herself. 'Take That Makoto..Now I have the best spot, and Ami is safe across from him…'

Ryoga blinked confused, and Ami giggled as Minako started laughing softly to herself. "She's laughing at a private joke, Ryoga. How do you know Minako?" The Smartest Senshi asked, knowing full well her importance in Minakos…tactical plan.

"Oh, she found me next to the phone, and helped me to the booth."
Ami grew concerned right away "Are you hurt?" Noting his rather abused clothing.

"No, just didn't want to get lost before my…Friend… Shows up with my pack." Ryoga answered.

Ami blinked, and looked across the room, where she had clear line of sight of the phones..Then shrugs. 'Likely just what Minako said while flirting.'

"Um, may I ask a personal Question?"

"Yes Ryoga, though I won't promise an answer." Ami replied with a smile.

"Do you have any Relatives in Nerima? A Tendo Family?"

Ami smiled, "Why yes, actually. My Uncle and cousins, on my Mothers Side. Why do you ask?"

Ryoga grinned. "You look just like my friend Akane. Well, your built lighter and aren't as tall…but the family resembalance is amazing."

"Really? I haven't seen them in years. What a small world!"

Minako shook herself out of her 'tactical Analysis' to hear the last part, and grinned. "Well, you might get the chance. Weren't one of them bringng you your stuff?"

"No, actually Ranma is."

Ami sat back. "Who is Ranma?"

"Akanes Fiancee', which is really to bad. She deserves much better then that jerk." Ryoga grumbled.

"Um…isn't he the friend you mentioned earlier?" Ami asked, blinking.

Ryoga blinks himself "Well, sort of. But he's still a jerk."

Before either Ami or Minako could comment on that, three more girls enter, and make their way over. One with long blond hair in an unusual hair style, one with long flowng black hair, and one very tall with brown pony tail…and eyes locked onto Ryoga.

"Hey guys, whose your friend?" Usagi Tsukino asked with a smile for the new person.

"Yeah…" Mokoto, the brown haird Senshi of lightning said, already comparing him to her old boyfriend.

Rei, the raven treased one just settles on the other side of Minako, giving the OTHER blonde haired senshi a sly smile. "Got to him fast didn't you." She whispered, winking.

At this point, we should take a minute to examine Ryogas Thought Process. He adapted to Minako, and thanks to exposure to Akane and FINALLY getting over that her Cousin was no problem…but three MORE very attractive girls caused problems. Ryoga managed to stutter out greetings, managing to appear cutely shy to all five girls.

That's probobly why his Mind listed the monster he noticed out of the corner of his eye as a GOOD thing.

Somewhere, in a dark place that isn't a place, He awoke. Roaring in rage, screaming wthout a voice but with his mind in his infinate anger, The Emperor of Terror finally freed him self totally from the prison his ungreatful Daughter sealed him in. Reaching out, he began to search, for a body and a weak soul to take it from.

Ryoga was moving before he even fully registered what he was doing. Seeing the monster pointing a glowing claw at their window, he wrenched the table from the floor, and pressed it aganst the glass, wondering why he didn't FEEL the Ki buildup, yelling to the girls "GET DOWN!"

The brunt of the blast nailing the table where he gripped it and hurling him across the room.

Ranma walked down the stairs from the train and looked around, gaining his bearings and checking the map on the wall. Nodding he turned and began walking down the street.

'Well, atleast it's a nice day. No rain and haven't changed at all. Heck, it's even quiet for a change. Kinda nice, actually.'

Of course, this is when he hears the explosion, in the direction he was walking.

"RYOGA YOU IDIOT!" He yelled, running for the fight he just KNEW P-chan just started.

Minako was worried. While most of the customers had already run out the emergency exit, Ryoga got hit really hard, and she hadn't seen him land. Fortunately for her, the quick escape of the people meant she could do something about finding him.

"Venus Star Power, Make Up!" She called, and changed into her Sailor Venus Form. "Guys, I have to check Ryoga…" She started to say, while the others prepared to change…Then the clawed hand reached out and grabbed her by the throat, lifting her off the ground.

'Damn…What the hell hit me?" Ryoga thought to himself, pushng the table off of himself and getting up, unfortunately discvoring the trip through the wall had hurt a bit more then usual.

Fortunately he stood looking towards the hole he had made, and saw the monster. "Oh… Yeah." He muttered. Then He nearly passed out seeing Minako stand and change, partcularly due to the rather…revealing…part of the change. The Monsters hand grabbing her broke him out of it.

"YOU LET HER GO!" He bellowed, charging through the hole, and making it bigger "NOW! SHI SHI HOKODAN!"

The Monster wasn't impressed with the yell. It was VERY impressed by the sphere of condensed Ki slamming into its chest, blowing it across the street, and freeing Minako at the same time.

Ami was confused. This was not the normal state of affairs, but true. In less then three seconds, Ryoga had ripped the table from the floor (Impressive since it was bolted down) taken a hit from a magical attack from a Youma. Minako had changed only to get grabbed by the Monster, and THEN Ryoga somehow attacked the YOUMA with a magical blast of his own…A very effective one at that.

Without thinking she called out her own activation phrase, and started scanning the ever-lost boy, who didn't notice her as he chased the monster out of the store.

"…Let her go! NOW! SHI SHI HOKODAN" Ranma heard as he Roof hopped to the fight. "What the hell?" He yelled, landing on the street to see some weird creature, some sort of cross between a woman and a pig throw a strange Ki blast at Ryoga, who dodged it and charged in with a powerful uppercut, knocking the monster several feet down the road.

"DAMN P-chan…what is it with you and PIGS?" he yelled, almost laughing at his friend/rivals luck.

"Shut up Ranma! Help me beat this thing! IT mighta hurt Minako!" then Ryoga grunted and flew several feet himself, as the Monster got another hit in.

"Moko Takibasha!" Ranma yelled, slamming a ball of pure confidence into the pig-woman-monster thing, figuring anything that ugly doesn't count as hitting a girl. "Whose Minako?" absently he dodges a blast and claw sweep by the Monster.

Ryoga, seeing the pack Ranma had dropped while preparing his Ki blast grabbed his Umbrella, and proceeded to lay the very heavy blunt object against the monsters side, slamming it into a buildings wall, then turns on Ranma yelling "JUST KILL THE MONSTER, YOU IDIOT!"

"HEY, I AIN"T THE ONE WHO TICKED IT OFF IN THE FIRST PLACE, PORK BUTT!" and for the first time in a very long time, both Ranma And Ryoga got sucker punched in a fight…thanks to Fighting with eachother.

Sailor Mercury went beyond confused straight to utter shock. Another boy, apparently knowing Ryoga, had arrived, and was ALSO throwing some sort of energy attacks…but her visor was reportiong them as non-magical, and in fact told her they where using energy like Rei did durring fire readings…'But how..'

She almost didn't notice Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter changing right next to her, but did notice as the later of the two threw a ball of lightning at the monster, who ducked and scooped up the two martial artists before they recovered themselves.

The Monster roared and started draining them of energy, and Mercury finally shook herself out of analize mode and joined with Sailor moon, Firing A blast of ice cold water into the monster to soften it up for the Senshi's Leaders own attack not even an instant later, both blinded as the creature disappeared in a burst of light.

Venus, seeing this and having just regained her feet, ran out to check on the two, and found amid the debries not the two boys she expected…but a girl in the new boys clothes, and a little pigglet with Ryogas bandana and clothes scattered around them, both out cold.

"Guys, I think we have a problem!" she said.

(Oh, and Kaga (Which I understand means shadow) turning into a fox is NOT a SI. Just kinda like the animal and the name…can't you tell?)
