Heh. Tannim and I are doing 2 little sidestories for our "To the End
of the Moon (And Over the Edge)" and this is mine... If you've
followed along (the whole 2 chapters we've put out at the time of
writing this) you'll understand where I'm coming from... maybe. And if
not.. well.. hopefully this'll be humerous enough to get you
interested.

Setsuna stood at the Gates of Time, watching as her Princess and
fellow Senshi battled menace after menace. Suddenly, her Princess was
ambushed. By her own parents! And sent to...
"Nerima." Setsuna frowned. The Chaotic energy there was so thick the
Magical Time gates actually displayed it as a purple whirlwind that
affected everything it touched. And at the heart of this whirlwind,
unknowingly stirring it, feeding it, and nurturing it, was one Ranma
Saotome.

Setsuna thought for a minute about what she knew of the magical energy
that filled Ranma's life. Due to its Chaotic nature, it had little
effect on Nerima at some times, and caused huge amounts of property
damage at others. Because Ranma and most of the other people in Nerima
were martial-artists, and not magic-users, there wasn't much in the
way of magic to feed the cyclone. However, when magic did present
itself, unless it was very well crafted (like the Jusenkyo curses), it
would often go awry almost immediately, always yielding unexpected
results.

With Usagi there, now, however, things would change. Usagi's magical
nature would begin to feed the Chaotic storm, and pretty soon, Nerima
would see things even their hardened spirits would have thought
possible. And people would start to wonder why.

Setsuna considered how to retrieve Usagi carefully. She risked fueling
the cyclone just by teleporting there, but if she had to ride a train,
or drive, Usagi would probably fuel it just as much in the time it
took to get there. With a sigh, she stood, and went to the Time Gate,
calling her staff from its sub-space dimensional pocket, and traveling
to Nerima.

Suddenly, mid-teleportation, something happened. The tornado had
already fed off of Usagi from the little time she'd had there, and
Setsuna's entrance, and the Temporal Magic flare-up attracted the
empowered Chaos like a moth to a candle flame.

Setsuna wasn't sure what happened, but suddenly she was back at the
Time Gate.

She looked herself over to see if anything was wrong, and, finding
nothing, she sighed. That's when it happened. As she sighed, a small,
flat cloud, shaped like a mushroom flew out of her mouth, and faded a
moment later. She then felt her right eye twitch, and she took a deep
breath to calm herself.

"Something very odd has happened." She muttered, turning to the Time
Gate to see if she could scry what was wrong. Instead, she saw..
nothing. The Gate showed blackness... though the surface rippled, as
it always had. Setsuna blinked... and then jumped.

She'd jumped because, as she had blinked, there had been an almost-
cute noise to go along with it. Here eyelid twitched again. She
quickly did what she could to calm herself, and then turned back to
the Gate. Blink . She scowled, and summoned her staff. It came,
and, after looking it over, she decided it was unharmed.

With another sigh (and another cloud, which made her blink, inducing
the which started an eye-twitch) she decided to try to
teleport. This time, she decided to try for her apartment.

A few moments later, she appeared in her bedroom, and she sighed with
relief. Of course, the cloud appeared. Seeing this out of the corner
of her eye, Setsuna then moved towards the mirror. Reaching it, she
looked herself over, and fortunately, found nothing wrong visibly. So,
she decided to see what was going on. She sighed. The cloud appeared.
In reaction, she instinctively blinked. The sounded. Her eye
twitched in annoyance, and she felt vaguely uneasy... and that's when
she saw it. A HUGE drop of 'I hope that's not sweat, I'll dehydrate
myself in a matter of minutes' dripped down the side of her head,
before fading away. Setsuna Face faulted.

"Owwwwww" She said aloud. Nobody responded. She climbed to her feet,
and checked the mirror again, knowing she'd find a bruise forming over
half her face. Nothing. She sweatdropped again. She blinked in
response. Hearing the noise made her eyelid twitch. Finally, she
sighed in resignation.. once again forming a cloud.

With that done, she spun on her heels, and Teleported to Rei's Temple
to give the girls the bad news.

Authors notes: Flames are fine. I expect them. C&C too.. though
pointing out typos and grammar errors probably wont result in much,
since this is going up as-is. And yes... I AM still working on Trials
of the Heart. This is just a way to keep myself from getting rusty at
doing non-serious stuff. Peace out!
