AN: I made a reviewer question his/her belief in the goodness of the Senshi with my last chapter. Supposedly at least. And he/she blamed it all on Usagi wanting to be the Queen of the world. He/she even blamed Usagi for the ruination of the other Senshi's lives. Here was my response.
Well if I really did make you see Sailor Moon in a new light, then WOW! I have done a great thing. But I disagree with one thing. Usagi originally did not want to be Sailor Moon, the Moon Princess or even the Queen of the world. But she kept being told she had to be by others, namely Luna to start out with and then Pluto who was manipulating the time lines to get to Crystal Tokyo. I think the true blame must be laid at the correct feet, or is that paw. I BLAME LUNA! BAD KITTY!!! BAD, BAD KITTY!!!!!!
And that was my response to that. Really, if Luna had not made Usagi continue as Sailor Moon and put her on the path to Queendom, she would not have done it. But then Beryl would have destroyed the world, so what can you do? Immediate destruction of all life every where, or cut the life on the planet by ninety nine percent and still have a human race but one under total dictatorship? Hmm choices. But that's if you look at it negatively.
Oh well, since that ain't happening in this here fic, on with it!
THE SENSHI OF CHAOS RETURNS
CHAPTER SIX
THE FUTURE IS NOW OFFICIALLY SCREWED
(Or it least it seems that way)
The Outers house: a little after Ten AM the next morning
The Senshi and Ranma were listening to Setsuna as she told them her very disturbing news on what she had seen in the Gates of Time before it conked out on her.
"So you're saying that Youma were just wondering around Crystal Tokyo intermingling with normal humans and not attacking them?" Ami asked in shock.
"Yes." Was all Setsuna said in a grave voice.
Ranma, who did not get any of this, said "I don't know why you girls are so scared. I mean so what if these Youma things are intermingling with humans, they weren't hurting them, right? And what is this Crystal Tokyo thing?" Ranma asked them, a little puzzled.
After they told Ranma about Crystal Tokyo and the evils of Youma, Ranma was, a little pissed, to say the least.
"So,… You mean to tell me that you know about a cataclysmic disaster in the form of an ice age that will wipe out most of the life on earth, AND YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO STOP IT!!!" Ranma finished with a yell.
Looking up at the standing Ranma, Setsuna sighed and said "We can't stop it. God knows I've looked for ways to do so, but they all have odds so pitiful that I cringe in remembrance of them." she shook her head "The best we can do sadly is just save the survivors."
Ranma looked at them, and their ashamed expressions, and said coldly "I do not accept that. And I will not accept that. And if you feel that way, I'm leaving. I'll do something about this on my own if I have to."
"What will you do, Ranma? What can you do?" Setsuna asked with despair in her voice. "I've gone through so many different scenarios, and none of them, not a single one, has a snowball's chance in hell of coming close to even slowing the ice age down, let alone stopping it from happening."
"So you just gave up!?!" Ranma yelled at her. "You just decided to write off most of humanity because you couldn't find a way to make it work! There is always a way, you just have to find it. I don't give a damn about the odds! Odds mean nothing! If I lived my life according to what the odds said would happen, I'd have died at six! You call yourselves 'Warriors of Love and Justice'? What a joke!"
As Ranma finished her yelling, and the others seamed pissed enough to attack her, Usagi said morosely "She's right you know." Causing all the gathered Senshi to look at her. "We gave up, because it was easier to save a few then to save them all." Sitting strait up in her chair, with determination and fire in her eyes, Usagi said evenly and powerfully "From now on, Crystal Tokyo is our back up plan! We will find a way to stop this disaster, and if we can't then find a way to make sure as many people as possible live through it!"
As the others looked to Usagi in awe, Setsuna just had tears in her eyes, and whispered so softly that no one but Ranma heard "Thank you Usagi. You grow more like you're mother every day."
Smirking a bit at what Setsuna said, Ranma then said, "Well I guess in that case I'll stick around."
Gathering her dignity around her, Setsuna said "Well, if that's the case, it's time for your lessons. Before you can teach us, we need to teach you." She said with an evil smirk. "And I shall be your first instructor."
Ranma then had the thought 'Crap, I'm in trouble now, aren't I?'
Yami Network Broadcasting Headquarters: President Kira Yami's office
Kira Yami was going over some reports on viewer numbers, when he got a phone call. "Mr. Yami, please come to viewing room nine. There's something you should see."
"Very well then." Mr. Yami said, standing up and heading out the door.
After he entered viewing room nine, a Youma said without turning it's attention from the screen it was watching "Master Shadow, the Senshi meeting is about to start, and they are all in their normal guises."
"Excellent." Shadow laughed. "I really will have to thank Sailor Chaos's reincarnation, Ranma was it, for this most fortunate turn of events."
As the meeting went on, Shadow watched dumbly as Ranma made something happen that he never could have dreamed happening, the Senshi decided that Crystal Tokyo was a bad idea, and that they should save the human race instead of ruling it.
"Get me something to drink!" Shadow yelled, springing out of his chair. "And make it strong, damn strong!" After Shadow was given some four hundred year old scotch, he raised his glass to the screen showing Ranma training under Sailor Pluto and said "Ranma, I commend you!" Then downing the glass of ancient and potent alcohol, Shadow said "I've got to meet her soon. She could be my ticket in." Then Shadow poured himself another glass, and sat down to watch the screen again.
