Chapter 36: Amethyst Gains Control
The two warriors looked at each other… the two known each other for the longest time and respected each other… one was Jadeite, former General of the Dark Kingdom and Leader of the Neo Dark King, and other Amethyst, henchwoman of Jadeite… struck that former henchwoman of Jadeite… the two battle fiercely for control. Both held their swords in preparation of battle…
"It's time to fight…" said Jadeite.
"I know…" said Amethyst.
The two ran up to each other and clashed… neither one giving in… that's when vines came up from under Jadeite and tossed him… into the air. Amethyst jumped into the air She was about to strike him with her sword when he blocked his hand and sent her flying however both landed on their feet.
"So looks like we're evenly matched…" said Jadeite.
"That's you think…" said Amethyst.
The two jumped in the air the began to fight while flying… Amethyst used martial arts she learned while studying Ranma's world while Jadeite just dodged them and made sure none of them hit… however they were too fast and some indeed hit… Jadeite fell the ground.
"So are you finished?" asked Amethyst.
"Not yet!" said Jadeite.
He began to shoot beams towards Amethyst… much like the attacks that hit her she tired her best to dodge…the beams sent her flying into a nearby wall… she hit it hard… she landed on the ground then began ot cough off blood…
"So looks like you lost…." said Jadeite.
"It seems I have…" said Amethyst.
Jadeite prepared for the final blow that when several vines came from behind and tied him up…
"Fool you…" said Amethyst, she held up a few ketchup packages… "Just ketchup…"
Jadeite smirked then growled… he used and energy to destroy all the vines that were surrounding him…
"Good job…" said Amethyst.
"Thanks…" said Jadeite.
"But not good enough!" said Amethyst.
Jadeite noticed that his legs were covered in crystal… similar to the one that Queen Beryl tapped him in… but different… it was slowly making his way up to his upper body.
"It similar to the crystal you were trapped in… but it's different…" said Amethyst.
"How different?" asked Jadeite.
"I can't shatter it at will… if I plan to do when it fully engulfs you…" said Amethyst, "My plan is come to fruition and you have already served your usefulness…"
"Wait your saying…" said Jadeite.
"I was in control the whole time…" said Amethyst.
"How can that be?" asked Jadeite.
"I was born with powers and always craved for more… I kill my parents when they didn't want to move to crystal Tokyo… it was easy! The plant power you gave me just fed my powers… I studied the Crystal Tokyo Library when discovered where you buried then used my powers to awaken you… soon… my power will be complete with the silver Crystal…" said Amethyst.
"You pure evil…" said Jadeite with the Crystal not at his chest.
"I know I am… what are you?" asked Amethyst.
Jadeite glared at Amethyst as the crystal fully engulfed my body… when she saw it did she held out her and in a crushing motion with her hand (much like Gaara's attack) Jadeite in the crystal was crushed into tiny pieces …
"Rest in peace… bitch…" said Amethyst.
She turned around and saw the Youma… some were afraid… some were angry, and may wanted to attack to attack her.
"I'm the leader now…" said Amethyst, "I know you want to fight me… so let's see who will want to fight you know your going to loose" said Amethyst.
And so she began to fight all the Youma that were 100 percent loyal to Jadeite… Amethyst knew this fight would last for days.
Days later Ranma woke up with a sigh… yet another day with the house guests… at least Akane was nice to him about letting him stay there… after all they laughed at Ranma's double cross-dressing and didn't like him in that way… but it did raise some questions from his dad, Akane's dad and sisters… while the last person who lived in the house did know the senshi secret… that person disappeared mysteriously… it was breakfast and Ranma got down stairs… where Amber, Aquamarine and Ruby were eating with the Tendos…
(Flashback)
IT was the meeting discussing where they would go…
"We'd like start a business in Ranma's world…" said Aquamarine.
"You're joking right…" said Ranma, "Unless you're not putting up in the Nexus of Chaos…"
Everyone in the room sweatdroped… expect for Setsuna, "That's a nickname for much of Nerima… especially Furinkan and Tomobiki…"
"What's wrong with Tomobiki…" said Naruto.
"All I'm going to say is that aliens exist in my world…" said Ranma.
"We are planning to open it Furinkan…" said Amber.
"By the way… until we find a investor can we stay with you Ranma?" asked Ruby.
Ranma sighed, "Fine…" he said.
(End of Flashback)
Of course it best that no one mentioned that the person would be crazy or part of the chaos (The Amazons and Ukyo) to start a business… combined with the fact that no one in their right mind would invest in a business unless it was extremely cheep... fortunately Ash found such a person… mainly due to the one way exchange rates between words (having gold as pocket change was great)…
"Hey good morning Ranma…" said Amber.
"Hey I have good news…" said Ranma, "I found some one to invest in your business…"
"That's great!" said Amber.
"Who's the nut job who wants to help us?" asked Aquamarine.
"Nami…" said Ranma sheepishly.
"Who's Nami?" asked Kasumi.
"Oh she's Luffy's roommate…" said Akane.
"No wonder she's insane… you have to be insane to live wit that that guy…" said Nabiki.
Ranma sighed heavily…
"So how are you going to avoid from those meeting…" said Aquamarine.
"I was thinking meeting at Ukyo's…" said Ranma, "It's the only way for those two to not meet…"
Ranma had learned that Nami was greedy… while unsure whether or not as greedy Nabiki mainly because she didn't use blackmail photos… he knew this because he became good friends with Zoro… it's one of the things they bonded with… being controlled by an evil woman though monetary means… if those two ever meet then doom and gloom will rein supreme…. Well for Ranma and Zoro that is… Ranma sighed…
"Today's going to be crazy…" he thought.
Hours later in Ash's World… Ash, Gary, Pikachu and Dianna walked back the Pallet Town… the Hoenn league had ended a few days before, Ash lost to Tyson in the best 8… Peter also lost in the best 8… he proclaimed himself better than Mina…he was found beat up later… Tyson in turn won the championship which was great… Earlier in the day they parted ways with Brock, May and Max… May and Max went back to Petalburg City where they came from to be with their parents, while Brock went home to Pewter City where his family lived… they promised never to tell anyone that they were the Sailor Senshi… also earlier that day Ash was invited to participate in the Battle Frontier (after losing to Agatha, a member of the Elite 4)…
"I'm all ready for this battle frontier!" yelled Ash.
"You've been hanging out with Naruto and Luffy way too much…" said Gary.
Ash only laughed nervously…
"But we should all be prepared who knows when the rebellion will end…" said Dianna.
"Good point…" said Ash, "But I'm ready for what ever happens… no matter what!"
That's when Ash tripped on a tree root…
"Except for tree roots…" said Gary.
"Don't laugh…." said Ash.
"Okay I won't…" said Gary.
"Pikapi…" sighed Pikachu.
Meanwhile in Ranma's world Ranma, Akane and three Jewels waited in Ucchan's Okonomiyaki…
"So why are you here?" asked Ranma.
"What… I can't help out?" asked Akane.
"You just want to know why Ranma chose this place to meet Nami…" said Amber.
Akane sweatdroped…
"Look I had to choose someplace where Nami and Nabiki wouldn't meet…" said Ranma.
Akane sweatdroped… "What do you mean?" she asked.
Akane sweatdroped even more… "Someone might be as equally as greedy as my sister? That's like saying there's some equally perverted as Happosai…"
"There is… it's Jiraiya but that's besides to point…" joked Ranma.
That when there was a crash outside… a few minutes later Nami entered the restaurant…
"I really hate that crash…" sighed Nami.
Then she saw the table with Ranma, Akane and three Jewels…
"Hi!" said Nami joining them.
"Hey Nami…" said Ranma.
"So Nami… how did you get involved…" asked Akane who honestly wanted to know.
"Well I remembered what Luffy said about coins from our world can buy a lot in the other world when I heard about your problem and knew I get my money back I thought why not… I also talked to Setsuna and she said that she will exchange any money I earn from being their investor for berries…" said Nami.
"That was nice…" said Ruby with a sweat drop.
"So perhaps we should talk about percentage…" said Nami.
"25 Percent!" said Amber.
Nami sweatdroped…
"No bargaining?" asked Nami she wanted at least 25 Percent.
"Look… I've been watching your world for a long time and I know a lot about you… there shall be no bargaining…" said Aquamarine glaring at the navigator, "You barely lost any money and we need most of the that money… we each get 25 Percent of the business…"
Nami sweatdroped... she didn't know what to say.
Ranma sighed… "This was going to be a long day…" he thought.
Back in Ash's world Ash entered his house… with Gary, Pikachu and Dianna,
"Hey is anyone home?" asked Ash.
"Hi Ash!" said a voice, a red haired girl with green eyes and a yellow outfit came into the room…
"Misty! What are you doing here?" asked Ash.
This was Misty… Ash's former traveling companion and current Cerulean Gym Leader…
"I heard you were coming home so I came to visit you… what else…" said Misty.
That when's a Azurill entered the room…
"Is that yours?" asked Gary.
"Is it…" said Misty.
"Ash?" said Ash's mom entering her room… her name was Delia, also Pro. Oak entered the room…
"Hi mom! Hi professor Oak!" said Ash.
"It good that your home…" said Delia.
"Yeah…" said Ash.
"Who's this?" asked Delia.
"Oh that's my cat Dianna… I found her one day…" said Ash.
"I see…" said Delia.
And so the 5 humans, 2 Pokemon and 1 cat tat around the coffee table talked about the tournament.
"Really before the match that girl Mina was really scared?" asked Pro Oak.
"Why?" asked Delia.
"You know about my match agaisnt Wynona right?" said Ash.
"What happened?" asked Misty.
"You see I got injured because monsters were attacking the day…" said Ash.
"Monsters… you mean like the ones that sailor senshi fight?" asked Misty.
Ash sweatdroped… "Yeah… anyways I ignored the pain as best I could and won the match… since Mina and her rival Peter were in town and we met them before and they watched our match… that's why she was scared…" he said.
"How did she get over it…" asked Delia.
"We don't know…" said Gary, "But everyone assumes is has something to do with beating up Peter in some way because after she got over her fear he bruised up and he didn't want to talk about what happened…"
"That's odd…" said Misty.
"Ash… I have a question to ask you… do you know the Sailor Senshi?" asked Misty.
"Kind of… why?" asked Ash.
"I just wanted to know… I'm a bit of fan…" said Misty.
Ash nearly had a heart attack "Really?" he asked.
"What's wrong Ash?" asked Delia.
"It's nothing… really…" said Ash.
"Poor Ash…" thought Gary with a sweat drop.
"So how big of a fan are you?" asked Ash.
"No much… I'm not obsessive…" said Misty.
"Thank god…" thought Ash.
"So who's your favorite?" asked Gary with a smirk.
"I have to say Sailor Neptune since some of her power involve water…" said Misty.
"At least it's not Moon…" thought Ash.
"At least it's not Saturn…" thought Gary.
That's when there was a honking sound outside. Everyone went to the door, and saw Pro Birch (the man who gave May's Torchic who later evolved into Combusken) with Max outside Pro Birch's Jeep, May was in the back seat rocking back and forth (Pro. Birch is one of the top 10 worst drivers in the known universe).
Meanwhile in Ranma's world the group walked down the street while Aquamarine was looking at the business section of the housing guide.
"There's a lot places that are free here in Furinkan… and their all pretty cheap…" said Aquamarine.
"Everywhere in Furinkan is cheap… all the business loose money right away…" said Ranma.
"Yes… and most of destruction is caused by you Ranma…" said Akane.
"Well maybe if a certain uncute tomboy didn't kidnapped at least once a month then at least half the destruction wouldn't happen…" said Ranma.
The tow began to fight in them idle of the street.
"Never pay attention…" said Aquamarine.
"It will end soon…" said Nami who had heard stories about Ranma and Akane's arguments.
The fight ended quickly when Akane launched Ranma far away.
"Let's continue our search!" said Akane.
The other 4 sweatdroped…
"No wonder Ranma hides out on Merry Go…" thought Nami.
10 minutes later Ranma-Chan showed up… being chased by a dozen cats.
"Oh crap…" said Ruby.
A montage of hilarious events began to occur: Shampoo showing up, Shampoo glomping Ranma-Chan then turning her back to being male, Mouse showing up challenging a light pole, Ranma telling him he talking to a light pole while kicking him in the head, Mousse and Ranma about to fight, it suddenly rains turning Ranma into a girl, Shampoo into a cat and Mousse in a duck, Ranma-Chan runs away from Shampoo- Cat, Ranma (male again showing up) mysteriously, running to a green haired girl wearing a tiger striped bikini shocking some teenager with the group realizing they some how crossed over into Tomobiki… when they got back into Furinkan the 4 who aren't natives were breathing heavily.
"What was that…" said Nami.
"The chaos of my life… and the chaos of some guy named Ataru…" said Ranma.
"You seriously want to start a business here?" asked Nami sure she'd only loose a few berries but this place was nuts it was more insane and the insane pirate she was a member of and that's saying something…
"Yes of course!" said Ruby.
"Why?" asked Akane.
"Spite…" said Amber.
"What?" said Ranma, Akane and Nami.
Aquamarine began ot explain that one time they were at Ucchan's Okonomiyaki and Amethyst kicked them out so setting up shop here was out of spite.
"Um… okay…" said Nami.
"Well… let's go get you a place where you can start up shop…" said Akane.
"Okay!" said Amber.
After a while they found a nice place that was cheap (the guy who was telling it thought he got the better deal with a single gold coin… but it was Nami who got the better deal… it was just one berry she spent…) right down the street from Ucchan's… fortunately Nami was pleased with her investment… and left shortly after making the purchase and fortunately (for the sake of both Ranma and Zoro's debts) didn't meet Akane's middle sister…
That night during dinner in Ash's they ate Delia's delicious cooking… that's when a window broke and two knives embedded themselves in the table.
"What just happened…" said Pro. Birch.
Ash and Gary noticed notes tied to the knives and they both got them off before anyone noticed it…
"Probably just a prank…" said Max.
"That's a pretty mean prank…" said Misty.
That's when their communicators went off.
"Um… we'll be right back…" said Ash.
"Yeah…" said Gary.
Both left the house…
"I wonder what that was about…" said Delia.
"You don't' want to know…" said Max adjusting his glasses.
Both Gary and Ash got outside and answered their communicators where everyone was on…
"So it happened to you too…" said Ash.
"Yeah…" said Kiyo.
"We were eating dinner when we go the notes so we haven't gotten a chance to read it yet…" said Gary.
"You better read them right now…" said Kakashi.
Both took out the notes and they were identical… it read "Dear Ash/Gary. This is Amethyst. I have killed Jadeite and several rebellious Youma… it took days for them to understand that I am in charge. I will come up with the most horrifying way to get the crystal… you better hope for a long wait while I prepare… I will get the Crystal… no mater what… Amethyst…"
"So what do you think it is?" asked Gary.
"I don't know… but we all have to prepared…" said Ash.
"I'm going to ask Hinata and Sakura in helping take care of Opal…" said Naruto.
"I guess I can keep an eye on the other three… she might go after them too…" said Ranma.
"You do it too Luffy!" yelled Nami's voice in the back ground.
"Are the others listening?" asked Kiyo.
"No we're still eating dinner too…" said Luffy with a big smile.
Everyone else sweatdroped.
"Well we should all be careful… we don't know what will happen…" said Ash.
"Right!" said the others.
Little did they know was that Amethyst's plan was more horrifying than they thought…
Next Time: Amethyst starts her truly evil plan to get the Crystal... what is it? Or a better question is "Do you want to know". Meanwhile Naruto has to house three certain Sand Ninjas who are there for a meeting... Yes it them... yes he will find out Naruto is Sailor Venus... he wouldn't be in the final arc otherwise... what will happen... find out in the first chapter of the final arc next time!
