Episode 04: Solar Princess Saga Part I: Explanations
This is going to be the first part of the Search for the Solar Princess Saga.
Ash, Ranma, Misty, and Akane were walking through the streets of Juban. All of a sudden Kodachi Kuno appeared out of nowhere and started going on about pure hearts. Ranma and Akane were wondering what she was doing here.
"Hey Kodachi, what are you doing here?" Akane asked.
"I already told you that I chose Akane! Or did you forget!" Ranma scolded.
"Ranma Saotome, I am not here to try and take you away from Akane. I know that you and the Pigtailed girl are one in the same! I also happen to know that the guy with the Pikachu on his shoulder has a Spring of Drowned Girl Curse like you do." Kodachi said.
"Oh really! Who are we then? Huh Kodachi? Do you even know our names?" Ash asked.
"I know both your names Ash Ketchum. You also go by Ashlynn Ketchum as well as you going by Ashley in female form. Your Twin Sister Ashlynn is inside your head. She was stillborn, just like Ranko was. I now know that you and Ashlynn were supposed to be twins. Ranma and Ranko were also supposed to be twins. You are also known as Sailor Solaris. I also know about Girl-Type Ranma's Alias as Ren Saotome. When both of you fell into the Spring of Drowned Girl they awoke after sixteen years of dormancy." Kodachi said as she just disappeared.
"Um Ranma, she is one strange cookie! She used to be one of your Fiancees?" Ash asked.
"She never was one of my Fiancees. She self-proclaimed that." Ranma said.
"At least she didn't know who we were." Misty said as she referred to her and Akane.
"I also know about you Misty Waterflower. Akane Tendo you are also involved. I don't know why, but I sense something inside you. A great power. It will be mine soon. As well as the rest of those Pure Hearts." Kodachi said as she reappeared with glowing eyes and disappeared again.
"What did she mean by pure hearts? What did she mean that they would soon be hers?" Ash asked confused.
"I don't know." Misty asked just as equally confused.
"I don't know either. Ranma do you have any idea?" Akane asked as she turned to Ranma.
"I can't say that I do." Ranma said.
All of a sudden Shampoo appeared, shifted to Aurora. Pikachu also activated his Crescent Moon becoming Orion.
"I can answer that Ash. I'm sure Orion can too." Aurora said, However, that's for a later time. There is something much more important to discuss now. Have you heard of the Solar Princess?"
"Aurora is right on both accounts, I can explain what Kodachi was talking about," Orion said, then continued, "however there is a much more important matter we have to attend to first. We discuss the Solar Princess first, and then if you want to we can explain what Kodachi met by a great power inside all four of you."
"The Solar Princess?" Ash and Misty asked curiously as Ranma, Akane and the rest of the group had the same questions.
Ash, Misty, Ranma and Akane were now joined by the others. May and Drew holding hands just like Ash and Misty as well as Ranma and Akane. Ukyo then appeared. She was followed by Casey, Azusa, Nabiki, Sayuri, and Duplica, Ranma, Ash, and Drew all shifted to female form. They then found an alley, transformed, Triton's Ditto Transformed into an Alakazam and teleported everyone to Mt. Silver in Johto. All twelve of them had chills run down their spine. Orion, and Aurora(Shampoo's Moon Cat form) also had chills run down their spine. Luna, Artemis and Diana also appeared in Mt. Silver without the original Senshi and Tuxedo Mask.
Mt. Silver Johto...
"Okay start explaining now!" Terra said as she summoned her pulled out her Mega Necklace with her Key Stone on it.
"We need the information!" Solaris said as her Mega Bracer materialized on her wrist.
"What did Kodachi mean when she said that she will soon have all the pure hearts in the world?" Phobos inquired as she took a fighting stance.
"What was with her glowing eyes? She seemed different somehow!" Deimos said as she manifested a Ki Mallet.
"Yeah explain or we will attack!" Io said as she grabbed Blaziken's Pokeball and willed the appearance of her Mega Bracelet.
"Yeah we have a right to know! We are Sailor Guardians too you know!" Titan said as she unsheathed her spatula.
"Ditto get ready we may have to battle." Triton said as she prepared for battle.
"Either start talking or pay up!" Charon said as she pulled out a pad of paper.
"If we are going to help, we must know what to expect!" Callisto said.
"You Moon Cats better start talking!" Ganymede said.
"Yes you must elaborate further!" Ashlynn said as she broke away from Solaris and assumed a solid form.
"Um Sis what are you doing. I need you inside of me in case I discover a new attack to use." Solaris said.
"Don't worry Ash, I will remain here and make sure all the equipment is working properly."(1) Ashlynn said.
"I will stay here too!" Ranko said as she broke away from Phobos and assumed a solid form.
"I won't say anything sis. I know how stubborn you are! After all you are my twin sister." Phobos said.
"Drew you can handle it! May will help you." Deanna said as she did the exact same thing as Ashlynn and Ranko.(2)
"Thanks sis! I will do my best." Rhea said.
"Okay cats start talking!" Europa said.
"Yeah you do that!" Aurora, Orion said in unison.
"Okay we will talk. A bout two years ago..." Luna started.
"Hotaru was possessed by a Death Buster called Mistress 9..." Artemis continued.
"This obviously happened before Hotaru became Sailor Saturn. She only wanted one thing. The Holy Grail. There was another one, but it was lost when you twelve and your advisers were sent foward. Solaris, Terra, Phobos, and Deimos all had Talismans. Since Mistress 9 couldn't find the second one, she settled for Moon's. " Diana said.
"Okay you mentioned us. What do we have to do with this Holy Grail?" Solaris asked sending her Mega Bracer back to subspace.
"Yes please explain. We have to know." Terra said as she relaxed disengaging her Mega Broach and sending it back to subspace.
"We all want to know!" Phobos said as she relaxed.
"We need to know." Deimos said as her Ki Mallet disappeared.
After this was done the rest of the Sailor Guardians relaxed. The ones that had weapons out, either sheathed them or put them back in subspace. The ones that were reaching for Pokeballs stop reaching for them and returned their Pokemon (those that sent them out.)
"I remember yours and Terra's treasure Solaris. Yours was an Aiku(Oar) and Terra's was a Nunti Spear(3). I am not too sure about Phobos and Deimos Weapons. Aurora(4) any ideas?" Crescent Pikachu said.
"Well, it's obvious what weapon that Deimos had. She can manifest a Ki Mallet. Phobos, your weapon was a Katana. Your treasures will be revealed momentarily. I just do not know when." Aurora said.
"As for Mistress 9." Luna said.
"After she left Hotaru's body, she was totally destroyed." Artemis said.
"However, her soul lived on. Floating in endless nothingness. Kodachi Kuno was the perfect vessel. That is probably why she mentioned the second Holy Grail." Diana said.
"What does that have to do with us?" Solaris and Terra asked in unison.
"Yeah, why would we hold a Grail within the Four of us?" Phobos and Deimos asked in unison.
"You four in the Silver Millennium were the four that united the houses of Solaris Colony, Atlantis, Phobos, and Deimos to each other. You were also very close friends with Princess Serenity and Queen Serenity. In fact all twelve of you were closer than Sisters." Orion chimed in.
"Yes you were the best of friends. Even though you are in different parts of Japan, you are close now. Why? It all has to do with destiny." Diana said.
"Oh I see. So those heart snatchers are looking for Solaris, Terra, Phobos, and Deimos so they can take over the universe. The 2nd Grail is inside our four leaders. Am I right?" Io asked.
"You are correct. Well we have to get back to the other Sailor Guardians All of you take care of each other." Luna said.
"Oh and one more thing." Artemis said.
"What?" Io and the rest asked.(This does not include Solaris, Terra, Phobos, and Deimos.)
"Io, Titan, Triton, Charon, Callisto, Ganymede, Europa, and Rhea?" Diana asked.
"Yes?" The above mentioned Sailor Guardians asked.
"Take care of your four leaders. If they fall, you all fall. That is why you were chosen to have the mantles of Sailor Guardians. United you stand, divided you fall. You must do all you can to protect Terra, Solaris, Phobos and Deimos. Also you must protect our Princess and her other Guardians." Diana finished.
"You can count on us! We won't let you down!" Io said.
"We trust you. Come Artemis, Diana. We have told them all we can." Luna said as the three original Moon cats disappeared.
"I must get back to the Cat Cafe." Aurora said as she shifted to a fully-clothed Shampoo. I don't want stupid Duck-Boy to get into trouble." Shampoo said as she disappeared.
Phobos, Deimos, Titan, Charon, Callisto and Europa also disappeared back to Nerima. The Senshi from Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn remained and De-Transformed. Darcy and Ashley reverted back to their male forms and went up to their sisters. Ranko went back with Phobos, Deimos and the other Senshi.
"Deanna are you sure you can survive without me. I mean you are part of me." Drew said.
"Don't worry Drew, you just take care of May. I will be fine." Deanna said as she took her seat at the Supercomputer.
"Ashlynn, are you sure you want to do this. I mean we did merge minds?" Ash said.
"Actually, no we did not. I just said that so you would know that I existed. I have my own mind and body. I look exactly like your Female form. If you ever need some help with some Feminine things, just give me a call on the Communicator. I will transform and be right there. Of course you won't be able to use your Senshi form because I will have it. Just be careful. You will still be able to shift forms." Ashlynn said.
"That's good to know. Somehow I always knew you existed. Glad to see that you're solid Twin Sis Ha ha ha!" Ash said as he shifted into an exact twin of Ashlynn.
"Drew shift to female form please. The same goes for you Bro." Deanna said.
"Um okay. That's cool." Darcy said as she did so. As Darcy and Deanna looked at each other, it was like they were looking in a mirror. The only difference was they were both real.
"This is so cool!" Ashley and Darcy said in unison as they clenched their stomachs and nearly fell only to be caught by Ashlynn and Deanna.
"Uh-Oh Misty, we need to get Ashley to the bathroom I think she is having her first period!" Ashlynn said as she grabbed one of Ashley's arms and set it on her shoulder.
"You're right Ashlynn, Ashe don't worry your sister and I will help you." Misty said as she draped Ashley's other arm over her shoulder.
"Thank you so much Mist!" Ashley said as she fainted from the pain in her stomach
"Thanks for the help sis." Darcy said as she fainted in the arms of her sister.
"May! We need to get Darcy to the other restroom! I think you know what her problem is." Deanna said.
"Right! Don't worry Dar-Chan we will help you." May said as she grabbed one arm and Deanna grabbed the other.
The rest of the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn Senshi started chatting on the computer with Ami. They told them about what Luna, Artemis, and Diana told them about the 2nd Holy Grail.
Everything was better now. The group went to work to upgrade the command center.
Ashley and Darcy found out that they were stuck in their female forms for at least a week. The two currently female guys hated the thought, but they knew that it couldn't be helped.
"I am unsure about this staying as a girl for a week thing. What if I turn into a girl again like I did so last time this happened?" Ashley asked.
"I'm wondering that too. I mean I don't want to become a girl forever!" Darcy said.
"Tee-hee don't worry sweetie! You are too stubborn to let that happen. I am so glad for that too!" May said as she planted a passionate kiss onto Darcy's Lips tongue and all.
"Um Mist do you think I will turn into a girl. I mean I don't mind this body like I used too, but I don't want to turn into a girl and never be able to return to being a boy." Ashley said.
"Don't worry hun, it won't happen you are too stubborn for that to happen. I for one am glad for that!" Misty said as she planted a passionate kiss on Ashley's lips, tongue and all.
The dual make-out fest waned as everything went back to mostly normal. Normal for two Gender-Change Pokemon Trainers/Sailor Guardians that is.
"Um Sis are you sure you want to stay here? You should show Mom that you are alive and well. I mean you still are one of her children and all. Unless of course you are comfortable living in secret here until the time is right.
"Sis are you sure you want to stay here in the command center? I mean I am sure that our parents back in LaRousse City would love to see their daughter who they thought was dead after you were stillborn."
"Yes Bro I mean Sis. What am I supposed to call you! Sis or Bro. This is so totally confusing me!" Deanna exclaimed.
"Calm down Deanna it's confusin' just call me the appropriate word for my current gender. Right now I am your Big Sister. I will be remaining so for a week at least." Darcy said.
"The same goes for you Ashlynn. Right now I am so your Big Sister. I am your sister when in female form and your brother when in male form. Got that little sis?" Ashley asked.
"Got it big Bro I mean Sis!" Ashlynn said as she hugged Ashley.
"Hey guys it's getting late. We have school tomorrow!" Casey said.
"No we don't. Tomorrow is Saturday remember?" Duplica asked.
"Oh yeah. I guess we don't have to go home!" Casey said.
"We could have a sleepover," Ashley suggested happily with a giggle, "Besides that, we have to do some investigation into this second holy grail stuff."
"Setsuna, what have you done. Oh wait a minute you needed to do that didn't ya." Orion said.
At the time gates, a certain time and space guardian sneezed.
"Well everybody, let's get to sleep." Misty suggested.
Ashley then realized something she turned to Orion, Um Orion, you said that the Holy Grail wasn't important right now, but finding the Solar Princess was. We can't sleep now until we find out more of this so-called Solar Princess."
"Actually, there were originally two Solar Princesses," Orion said to Ashley and Ashlynn as he looked at the twins, "you see, I think there is more to the whole illness thing that originally killed Princess Solina, Princess Ranko, and Princess Deanna. We will address that later. As for now we have to worry about the Solar Princess being found. Or rather Solar Princesses. Since there are two Solar Princesses, that means the number of Crystals are doubled. Seven are in the Pokemon Regions, Seven are spread through out Nerima, and the fifteenth one will show up once the other fourteen are found."
Ashley, Ashlynn, Darcy, and Deanna listened closely as Orion told the tale.
"Once upon a time there were a total of twenty-two Rainbow Crystals. Twenty-One representing the three factions that once worked together. Seven of them were found and revealed the Moon Princess, which we all know is Sailor Moon. The other fourteen, no fifteen were scattered to two different dimensions, one with two different areas and the third group sent to another dimension. However about 5,000 years ago, the wall between the Pokearth and Earth broke down and vanished. Before you ask, there is no way to restore it now that the first two groups of the Galactic Guardians are awakened. Anyway, I'm going off on a tangent here. So as I was saying there are fifteen Rainbow Crystals needed to reveal the Solar Princesses, and then some things will change once the Solar Princesses are revealed. We will talk to Ranma and his group about this at a later time.
"Go on, " Ashley and Ashlynn chimed together in unison, "we're listening."
Orion then continued, "the fall of the Silver Millennium sent several monsters trapped in crystals, these were known as the Rainbow Crystals. They were sent onto the now combined dimensions and revived as humans, that a lot of you will know."
"But how will we know which people are holding crystals?" Misty asked curiously.
Hearing the question, Orion continued on, "I will show you."
Orion does he same flip as he did when he sent out the transformation devices for Ashley and Misty six months ago as a wand with a Sun attached to it appeared in Ashley's hands, even though Ashlynn could also use it.
"What is this for?" The Ketchum Twins asked as they each took turns holding it.
"That's called the Solar Wand." Orion said, then continued, "Whenever a crystal holder is nearby, it will react. However Ashley will be the one to wield it since Ashlynn will stay here and keep an eye on things and update the group on where the most likely location will be for a Rainbow Crystal Holder to appear."
Ashlynn, looks toward Ashley and smiles, "don't worry big sister, I'll be fine. If you ever need my help I will be right there with you to help fight just give me a call telepathically." Ashlynn hugs her currently female twin brother.
Deanna smiles and turns toward Darcy, "Onee-Chan, I will be there for you as well, if you ever need my help just call out telepathically and I will get there as fast as I can."
Now that their next quest was decided for them, it was time to hit the sack. Once everyone was settled in, everyone fell asleep.
In Nerima, Ren and Ranko were having the same conversation as the others, but Ren didn't faint or feel as much pain as the other two did since she had been locked a number of times before. The cat's tongue by Cologne, when she thought she was a real girl, and when Herb had locked her with the locking ladle. She just went to the bathroom and cleaned up having experienced it before.
Ren knew that she would have to spend at least a week as a girl. She knew she had to do it though. Ren, Ranko, Akane, and Nabiki talked Soun and Kasumi to move Panda-Man into the Dojo. Since Ren and Akane were going to be staying with Nodoka, Ranko got the guest room. Ren, Ranko, Akane, and Nabiki told Kasumi about their new lives of Sailor Guardians.
"You four are what?" Kasumi asked.
"That's right Oneechan, we are Sailor Guardians. Ren and Ranko both share the power of Sailor Phobos." Nabiki said.
"However, only one of us can be transformed at a time for right now. It's too much of a drain on our Planetary or, in this case, Lunary Powers. Once we get used to having Powers again, we will both be able to transform into Sailor Phobos at the same time." Ranko said.
"We will be able to confuse our enemies. I mean I could be in one place, while Ranko can be in another. Drat! There I go again talking like a girl. I am so not used to this. Maybe I will be able to get used to it in the next week while I am stuck this way. " Ren said.
"Don't worry sister, I can totally relate. I mean if I was stuck for a week as a male, I probably would not like it very much. I'm not mad Oneechan or is it Oniichan? I don't know what to call you. Do I call you big sister or big brother?" Ranko asked.
"Well when I am in female form, I no longer consider it a curse but a blessing, call me Oneechan. When I am in male form call me Oniichan. Does that work for you sis?" Ren asked.
"It so totally does brother, thank you. Ranko said as she hugged Ren. Instead of going inside of her she stayed out.
"Hey Ranko would you mind awfully if you stayed with Mr. Tendo and his family. Could ya also keep Pops out of here too? We will have to in order to keep Pops under control. I will bring Mom over to see you sometime or you can come over to see her. Is that okay with you sis?" Ren asked.
"Yes it is Big Sister!" Ranko said as she again hugged Ren.
"Ren, Ranko we have to introduce Kasumi to the rest of the Neriman Senshi. Also we should have Shampoo come over and show us her Lunar Adviser Form. If Kasumi is going to be an honorary Senshi and help us behind the scenes as Ranko is going to she will need to know who everybody is." Akane said.
"That's a good idea! I'm sure that Ukyo and Sayuri already told Konatsu and Yuka. I don't think Azusa told Mikado. Maybe it's for the best. I'm sure Shampoo told Mousse and Cologne already. Nabiki here is 60,000 Yen please do not tell Kuno about us being Senshi. It seems that somehow Kodachi knows. If the vibe I'm getting from Kodachi is accurate she has an evil presence in her. She is really starting to totally creep me out... She's ya know scaring me." Ren said.
"Same here." Akane, Nabiki and Ranko said in unison.
They then called Ukyo, Azusa, and Sayuri to come over. Later on, Ukyo, Azusa, and Sayuri arrived at the Tendo Estate. This was followed shortly by Shampoo-Aurora and Mousse. As it turns out, Mousse was a Silver Millennium Advisor that had a Duck form with a Crescent Moon on his forehead. When in Advisor form, he goes bye Regulus. Now Kasumi knows all the Neriman Senshi. Her, Aurora, and Regulus the Duck started turning the Guest Room into a combination bedroom/Command Center. Everyone also discovered about Ranma-Chan's current situation. She is stuck as a girl for at least a week. It's no big deal, it's happened before.
Shampoo shifted to Aurora and started to explain the same story that Orion told the Solaris Court. Once that was taken care of, everyone understood what their next mission was.
"So we have to be on the lookout for Crystal Holders huh?" Ren asked of the Aurora, "Do we have some sort of device that we can use. I mean, we have to have something to pick up the Rainbow Crystal Signature so we can track it down."
"Agreed," Ranko said to the assembled group. "there has to be someway to track these whereabouts."
Aurora did a flip and a wand with a Violet Red Crescent moon appeared out of thin air, it had the symbol for Phobos on it. Aurora then nudged it over toward Ren.
"Okay, this is the Phobos Crystal Tracker, it's primary objective is to find the Rainbow Crystals that will be one part of the crystals we need to reveal the Solar Princesses. However, once both Solar Princesses are revealed, one of them will eventually get sick and vanish, the same thing applies to Ranko. However, with fifteen total Crystals to find, seven of which are scattered here throughout Nerima, it will be a while. So Ranko is safe for now.
Ranko then remembered how in her past life the same thing happened to her, she vanished after being extremely sick for about a week. Inevitably, the same fate would befall her this time. So she had to take advantage of the time she has left.
Now that the Galactic Guardians have a new mission ahead of them that they must tackle before the Second Holy Grail is revealed, they had to be read for anything. What will happen now? Stay Updated to find out.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Author's Notes:
(1) I decided to give Ashlynn, Ranko, and Deanna their own bodies and minds. Since they are the twin sisters of Ash, Ranma, and Drew they share their Senshi Powers.
(2) Nunti Spear- Looks like a Bo with a Manji Sai attached to the end of it.
(3) Aurora- Shampoo's Feline Advisor Name. Ranma and Ranko are not afraid of the Moon Cats because they are really aliens from the world of Mau. A regular cat on the other hand(without the Crescent Moon Mark) well can you say Neko-Ken?
Well what did you think? Please read and review!
Sincerely,
AshK1980
