Part 7


Meanwhile…

Sailor Cosmos flew over the sprawling metropolis that was the city of Tokyo.

"Huh," Sailor Cosmos says, as she scanned the area. "It's like the year 2007 all over again…"

WHOOSH!

"Whoa!" Sailor Cosmos says, as she narrowly dodged a winged woman carrying an egg in her arms. "Hey, slow down-!"

Sailor Cosmos realizes that the winged woman was Kiimi of the Phoenix Folk.

"Why is she in a hurry?" Sailor Cosmos says to herself, before scanning the giant egg in Kiimi's hands with her enhanced vision…

"Akane?" Sailor Cosmos says to herself.

The Senshi of Cosmos quickly went through Ranma's memories, which she had acquired after going through a 'mind-meld' ritual with her husband years before…

"Hey!" Sailor Cosmos yells.

Kiimi ignores Sailor Cosmos, as she continues to speed away.

Growling, Sailor Cosmos utilizes 'air bending' to adjust the atmosphere around the Phoenix girl…

"Ulp!" Kiimi yelps, as she begins to plummet to the Earth, dropping her egg in the process.

Quickly, Sailor Cosmos took a dive, and catches the large egg.

KTCH!

Landing in a construction site with the egg in hand, Sailor Cosmos sets the egg down.

"Who are you?" Kiimi demanded, as she landed unto the ground.

"I am 'Sailor Cosmos'," Sailor Cosmos says, as she moves her staff. "What are you doing with Akane Tendo?"

Kiimi growls. Although she sensed a lot of power emanating from this strange person, she wasn't going to let anyone stop her from getting revenge on the one called "Ranma Saotome".

"I don't have to explain myself to an earth-bounder!" Kiimi says, as she threw a barrage of razor sharp feathers at Sailor Cosmos.

FWOOSH!

"Huh?" Kiimi says, as she realizes that all of her feathers were now done up in an Amerind headdress.

"What do you think?" Sailor Cosmos says, as she showed off her headdress.

Kiimi growled, as she egged her opponent.

BOOSH!

Clatter!

Sailor Cosmos' staff was now lying next to a large egg.

"Now, at least I have a powerful servant in all this," Kiimi smirked.

Meanwhile…

"Now, insolent whelp!" says Happosai, as his muscles rippled. "Prepare to show respect for your MASTER!"

"Bring it on, old man," Ranma says, as he adjusted his stance.

Happosai used his chi-powered legs to run across the lot towards Ranma, not realizing that the Ranma he was fighting, was NOT the same Ranma he was used to.

THOOM-THOOM-THOOM-THOOM-THOOM-!

"Ranma, be careful!" Shampoo says with concern.

"Shampoo!" Mousse whines.

"That guy seems WAY over-confident," Ryouga says with a smirk.

"Son-in-law has EVERY reason to be confident," says Cologne.

All the younger martial artists turn to face the matriarch of the Joketsuzoku.

"What do you mean, great-grandmother?" Shampoo asked.

Cologne points her staff at Ranma.

"For every step that Happosai is taking to get to son-in-law, son-in-law has already determined ten additional counter-measures."

"How do you know?" Ryouga asked.

"Expand your senses, young man. SEE beyond your anger of son-in-law."

Scoffing at the idea, Ryouga concentrated on his rival…

"Wait," Ryouga says. "I see…ten people where Ranma is standing."

"Exactly."

"Wait, how is that possible?" Mousse asked.

"For some reason, son-in-law has achieved a level of skill that is 'prescience'."

"What?" Ryouga yells.

"Although, I am more interested in how son-in-law is able to process the raw information to develop a cogent stratagem while in such as state…"

Ranma analyzes Happosai's movements. He already detected several weaknesses in Happosai's assault, one of which is that the demented martial arts master has sacrificed his speed and agility for power and strength. THAT was the good news. The bad news was that Happosai has matched his own strength and power level. Even if one factors in this fact, it made using his more exotic techniques virtually useless. Still, if he was to fight Happosai using the Musabetsu Katuto Ryu only, then Ranma will have to improvise-

"Hootcha!" Happosai yells, as he threw a punch.

"Children, get down-!" Cologne began to say, before-

RRRRUUUUUMMMMMBLE!

Everything around Ranma was shaken by the heavy wave of pressure that Happosai threw off, as Ranma's aura began to glow a kind of crimson-like color.

"Ai-ya!" Shampoo says, as she and Mousse were knocked off their respective feet.

"Shampoo-!" Mousse tried to say.

Ryouga, having toughened his body over the years, fared better. Still…

"GAH!" Ryouga yells, as he held his head. "It…feels like my teeth are rattling out of my head-!"

'Standard distraction technique,' Ranma thinks to himself. 'If I were to use it, I would do a follow-up attack-'

"Now, I got you!" Happosai says, as he threw another punch, though with his other arm.

RRRRRRUUUUUUMMMMMBLE-!

BOOSH!

Happosai inflicts aggravated damage into Ranma's stomach.

"Errr," Ranma says with a grunt, as he allowed the force of Happosai's blow to pass through him. As a result, a wave of destruction continued beyond Ranma, as several homes were damaged in the process.

"How-how can you be standing up?" Happosai asked.

"I learned a technique from a god named Cytorrak. As long as I use this technique, nothing, maybe not even an unstoppable object, can move me…"

Cytorrak was a primordial god that fled during upheaval that ended the Second Age of Man, when Chronus and his "partner" Sauron embarked on an alliance to further cement their control over the Earth. Ranma, as the Izanagi, the All-Father of the gods of Japan, saved Cytorrak's life, after Sauron attacked the Lands of the East. In repayment, Cytorrak would share his knowledge of the energy field known as the "Crimson Cosmos". From that study, Ranma was able to resist physical damage, though he still remained vulnerable to other types of attacks. If there was one flaw, it was that this resistance was only good in a defensive posture, nor could Ranma utilize the energy field's energy manipulation properties. In the years since then, he would cross paths—either as friend or foe—with other users of the Crimson Cosmos: the Sorcerer Supreme Dr. Strange and the super-villain known as "The Juggernaut".

"Now," Ranma says, as he shifts his position, while his aura became white. "It's MY turn."

Suddenly, Ranma seemingly disappears.

ZIP!

"Where did he go-?"

KICK!

Happosai felt a kick to his lower jaw, as he began to sail up into the air…

"It looks like there is some…invisible force at work!" Ryouga yells.

"Not invisible," Cologne says with a smirk. "Just really, really fast foot-work…"

KICK-KICK-KICK-KICK-KICK-!

"Urgh!" Happosai says, as he tried to fend of the attack. His body was actually tumbling upwards, preventing him from mounting a decent counter-attack.

Meanwhile, Ranma lands back down, jumps, performs a flying kick, lands, and repeats the technique. He chose not to hit Happosai dead center, otherwise the demented martial artist would use his kick as a fulcrum to achieve his balance while in mid-air.

THAK!

Ranma lands for one final time.

"Now to end this," Ranma says, as he sticks out his hands. A swirling mass of energy coalesces into a blue ball of light.

"Amazing!' Cologne says. "Son-in-law managed to use ki to create a concentrated form of the Hiryu Shoten Ha technique…"

Point of fact, Ranma learned it from his wife Usagi, when they had temporarily lived as the legendary shinobi(s) Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Kazama respectively. Years in the past, the Solar Prince and the Moon Princess had died while in a "fusion" form, while fighting a cosmic entity know as "The Mad God". That form would split apart, but Ranma and Usagi would be reborn as the opposite gender. From there, the two would grow up to be legendary shinobi, and it would be during this time that Usagi, as Minato, would invent the technique known as "The Rasengan". And since she is married to Ranma…

"RA-SEN-GAN!" Ranma yells, as he tosses the ball into Happosai.

THOOMP!

WHIRRRRR-!

"Argh!" Happosai yells, as he spun off into the distance.

"Freak," Ranma says, as he dust himself off.

"That was very impressive, son-in-law," Cologne says, as she hops on her staff to get to Ranma.

"You were very good, husband," Shampoo says, as she leans on Ranma's arms.

"Eh, you were so-so," Ryouga interjects. "But that STILL doesn't make you better than ME."

"Fine, then train," Ranma says.

"For Shampoo, I will, Saotome!" Mousse says, as he held Ryouga in his arms.

CLONK!

"I'm NOT Shampoo!" Ryouga yells, after bopping Mousse on the head.

Meanwhile…

FLASH!

"A construction site?" Sailor Venus asked.

Sailor Mars turns towards Sailor Mercury.

"Sailor Mercury, is this Nerima?" Sailor Mars asked.

"No, but we're close," Sailor Mercury asked, as she scanned the area with her "Mercury Visor". "Wait, I'm detecting the Moon Princess' energy readings."

"Ours or the other one?"

"The other one-"

"Hey, I think she's over there…in one of those eggs!" says Sailor Mini-Moon, as she points towards two large eggs. At the last minute, Sailor Mini-Moon arrived at the Cherry Hill Temple to help participate in the 5-person, as required, "Sailor Scout Teleport".

"Really?" Sailor Jupiter says.

"Yeah, she's there…along with some other girl!"

"Can we leave the other 'Moon Princess' in there, and just rescue the girl?" Sailor Mars says with a quip.

"Sailor Mars, please be nice," Sailor Mercury says.

"Then, we better get started then," says Sailor Venus, who usually acts as the team's "second-in-command" when Sailor Moon is not around.

Meanwhile, Kiimi turns around, having sensed the arrival of these magical girls.

"I don't need this," Kiimi says, having sensed their respective power. "I better get help."

And with that, the Phoenix girl takes off.

"Wait-!" Sailor Venus yells.

"Let her go," Sailor Mercury says.

"But…she could be a youma!"

"She's magical, but she isn't a youma."

"Sailor Mercury is right," Sailor Jupiter says. "We have people to rescue…"

"But how?" Sailor Mini-Moon says. "They are in eggs."

"Well, just open them up, I guess," Sailor Mars says, as she smacks the eggs with a hand chop.

CRACK-CRACK!

The eggs split apart to reveal.

"It's Sailor Cosmos!" says Sailor Mercury.

"And some girl!" Sailor Mini-Moon says.

Sailor Cosmos opens her eyes, as does the other girl. They both see Sailor Mars.

"So, are you two okay?" Sailor Mars says.

And then, without warning-"

GOOSH!

Both Sailor Cosmos and the other girl begin to cuddle the Senshi of Fire.

"We love you!" the two say together in unison. "Please love us!"

"…"

Tbc.
