Part 37

Three weeks later.

"Get down!" yelled Sailor Venus, as an incoming round made it towards her position.

BOOM!

Venus was able to shield her squadron of JDF Special Forces from an incoming round, by erecting a force field made up of light. So far, Braxton's mechanized forces were pressing against the outer parameter that threatened to expand the renegade Captain's territories.

"Ma'am!" yelled Captain Kenshiro Kamura, as he rushed to Venus' aid. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Captain," Venus said, as she nursed her leg. It was partially burned near the knee, but it was already healing. "How's the gang?"

"Taki and the others are pretty shaken up."

Venus nodded. Since this "war" began, many lives have been lost and upset.

"Gather the others. Inform Command that we're moving on to the next site."

"Roger."

With that, Sailor Venus moved her squad to the next position, using damaged buildings and debrief for cover. As she did, Venus turned back to see the looming citadel that controlled much of Tokyo and its surrounding suburbs.

***

Braxton made his move against Japan on the day he had Bee Ku (i.e. "The Borg Queen"), Anne Sheridan (i.e. "Shin Sailor Za' Ha' Dum") and Jadeite (Negaverse General) activate their various sleeper agents and minions. Dubbing himself "Lord Maxwell Braxton", Braxton unleashed his forces onto the unsuspecting populace of Tokyo and the surrounding area. And, with the mysterious "Darth Lune", a Sith Lord, acting as an adviser to Lord Braxton, Braxton's forces have made strategic successes in capturing additional Japanese territories.

Thankfully, Ranma Saotome finally took charge of the situation.

At the start of the conflict, Ranma had taken his family to Okayama, where his grandfather and his family lived. Nerima and Juuban were hit hardest by the first strike. In particular, Braxton specifically targeted Ranma for retribution.

FLASHBACK

"Akane? Akane!" Ranma said, as he ran into the burning restaurant of "Ucchan's". As soon as he heard the sounds of the shelling throughout the city, particularly in his district, he rushed from the university. When he arrived in Nerima, he saw the devastation. And then.

POW!

Ranma jumped up just in time to avoid getting hit by a flying object. However, as soon as he turned his head, to see what flew by, his eyes had widened.

"NABIKI?" Ranma exclaimed.

Nabiki Tendo, who was the avatar of Kwan Ying, the Chinese goddess of Mercy, picked herself up. Normally, Nabiki looks like a typical shorthaired, upwardly mobile business college student. Now, like every time Nabiki invokes the goddess' name, she looks like a longhaired, Chinese uber-Amazon. And she fights like one. Still, Cologne had made sure that Nabiki utilized her powers effectively, since having the skills of a goddess does not make up for experience. As a result, Nabiki trains under the Amazonian matriarch one weekend a month and during vacation time, when not in school.

"Nabiki is glad you here, Saotome," Nabiki grimaced, as she picked herself up. She still hated the fact that she talks a certain Chinese Amazon bimbo, but.

"What happened?"

"Enemy attack family and friends when Nabiki was her for visit."

"WHO attacked the family?"

"I Saotome," said a voice.

Ranma and Nabiki turned to see a juggernaut of a man appearing out of nowhere. His was clearly in some sort of power-armor, which is why he looked so massive.

"How do you know my name?" Ranma said.

The armored foe's faceplate morphed away.

"YOU?!" Ranma exclaimed.

"Yes, ME," Braxton said.

"Who this?" Nabiki asked. Obviously, Ranma knew this person.

"This is the man whose job was terminated by Usagi, when she was part of an oversight committee that has jurisdiction over that job."

" MADNESS IS BECAUSE OF A DISGRUNTLED WORKER!?" Nabiki screamed.

"My position as the Director of the Temporal Investigations Agency was more than a 'job'. It was my life! She had me fired justly!"

"Usagi wouldn't have recommended termination if you hadn't tried to kill her and the rest of the crew of the Voyager in the past. In fact, YOU were the one who created the event that nearly wiped out the Earth, by mistaken Voyager as the cause! If SHE of all people thought that you were an unstable element, then she had good reasons for making that recommendation. What I don't understand is how you got here."

"It was quite easy. I had help ."

"That fop helped you?!"

"Insulting my sponsor won't prevent me from getting revenge on Usagi."

"Well, newsflash: Usagi is DEAD! You're wasting your time doing this!"

"I know. I had hoped to find and eliminate her two I'll settle for eliminating you, Captain."

And with that, Braxton's faceplate returned. As he was about to activate his gun turret, Ranma tapped his finger onto the ground.

"I don't have time for THIS!"

Without speaking it, Ranma utilized the "Breaking Point" technique.

RUMBLE!

And down into the ground Braxton went.

"Where's everybody now?" Ranma asked.

"I drew away Braxton from the others from home, but I haven't seen Akane since earlier this afternoon."

"Damn. If only T'sara and Hoshiko were still here."

Both of Usagi's daughters had departed back to "Federation-Earth" after Usagi's funeral service. T'Sara ("Sailor Vulcan") of Vulcan wanted to inform Starfleet and the United Federation, while Hoshiko ("Sailor Borg") Saotome went with her for moral support.

"Do you think you can handle things for a quick minute?"

"Sure thing, Saotome."

"Good." And off went.

And now.

"Akane? Akane!" Ranma said, as he made through the burning building.

Then, he heard crying upstairs.

Quickly, Ranma rushed upstairs, and found Konatsu lying on the top of the stairs.

"Konatsu!" Ranma said, after detecting a feint life sign. He knelt down and placed his right hand over the cross-dresser's heart. He fused some of his life force into the ninja's body. When Konatsu stirred, Ranma revived him.

"Konatsu, what happened here? And where's Akane?"

"We were attacked by this woman and these 'machine men'."

"And Akane?"

"She and Happoko ran into dojo while I tried to stop them."

"Get your self out of here."

"But-"

"You're not in any shape. Can you make it?"

Konatsu nodded.

"Then go to the Tendo compound. Nabiki may need help."

And with that, Ranma ran into his dojo.

There, on the floor, was Akane, lying unconscious, while Happoko was crying next to her.

"Akane!" Ranma yelled, as went his family's side. "Happi, are you okay?"

"The bad lady hurt Mommy," Happoko said, as she sniffled.

"Where did this lady go?"

"I am right here," said a voice.

Ranma immediately went on the defenses, as the Borg Queen and her combat drones materialized.

"How-?"

"Our benefactor was able to hide our presence by manipulating the fourth dimension," the Borg Queen smirked. "For a human, Braxton knows what he is doing."

Ranma was very tempted to put the cyborg in her place, but there was a more pressing concern: his family's welfare.

"I'll deal with you later," Ranma said, as he pressed his forefinger to his forehead.

"NO!" the Borg Queen exclaimed, as she and her contingent began to fire upon Ranma's position.

ZING!

"Damn you!"

It was Ranma's "Instant Transmission" technique that allowed him to rescue his friends and family that day. He was able to move as many people to Okayama as possible, where his grandfather, the Shinto Priest Katsuhito Masaki, lived. Once there, he was able to get Washu, an old friend of Usagi (and Scientific Genius-Par-None) to shield off Tokyo and it's surrounding area. Thus, for now, Braxton was prevented from pushing forward. Washu asked Ranma if he wanted any further help.

"No," Ranma replied.

"But why?" Tenchi Masaki, Ranma's cousin, replied.

"Braxton made it personal, by targeting everything that Usagi cared about. That's why."

"Well, you can count on me to help," Ryoko the space pirate said. "Auntie meant a lot to me, so I have to give that bastard some payback."

"Me, too!" Juraian Princess Ayeka said. "Lady Usagi IS a member of the Royal House on Jurai, so it is my duty to deal with this cretin."

" to help, too," said a voice.

Everyone turned to Kiki Masaki, the cloned daughter of Juraian Prince Yosho, Washu and Usagi. Lately, Kiki has been getting better

"Really?" Ranma asked.

"Yes," she responded. Her spiky blue hair shook with the rest of her head in agreement.

Ranma thought for a moment.

"Fine, you're in."

And, with that, Ranma was ready to return Braxton's favor in kind.

END FLASHBACK At the Command Center in Kyoto.

"Sailor Helios, Sailor Venus has just reported in her position," Ops declared.

"Excellent," Helios replied, as she continued to scan the incoming information. While Ranma preferred to do things as a male, there was an advantage in having a secret identity, especially during undercover operations. Also, giving the Japanese culture, Helios is seen as a symbol of Japanese unity, vis-à-vis the sun goddess Amaratsu. Coupled with Ranma's own military experience, "Sailor Helios" has become a champion to be reckoned with.

Helios then turned to the Prime Minister of Japan, his Defense Minister and the Joint Chief of Staff.

"I believe that we are ready to take out Lord Braxton, sir."

"Excellent," the Prime Minister said. " we need to use our 'special' weapon?"

"Well, we need to distract Braxton's heavy armored division, while our special forces weed out the various cells. That's why I had the Scouts place those transponders in strategic locations throughout the city."

The prime minister thought for a moment.

"Well, what do you think?" the prime minister asked his defense minister and joint chief.

"Well, we can always call upon the Americans for help," the defense minister replied.

"But, the potential success could benefit us, especially given recent problems with China and North Korea," the joint chief finished.

The Prime Minster nodded.

"I'll inform the Emperor of our options."

And, with that, the Prime Minister departs to discuss the matter further.

"Do you think we'll succeed?" asked the Defense Minister asked.

"If our 'weapon' is cooperative, we just might have a chance."
