THE CHAOS KNIGHT

Disclaimer: I don't really think it's really necessary but it's a kind of tradition now. So, as all the fan fiction's writers, I want you to remember that I don't own any of the characters of the series named Ranma ½ and Sailor Moon.

Author's note: Well! Before I begin with the story, I'd like to say some things.

First, as always in my fanfics, I want you to understand that I am not English but French. I'm sure there are a lot of mistakes in my grammar or spelling. So please, help me! Send me a corrected version if you want for example. It would help me a lot in my work. Oh, and I would appreciate some pre-readers, so if you are interested, contact me at Vkasu@aol.com. That's also the address where you can write to review if you want.

After that, I want to say I took note of all the reviews I received for my other story "the Balance keeper". Even if a lot of these told how much the story was interesting (go and read it! Pretty please!), I understand the ones who didn't like it. Furthermore, I agree with some of the critics I received. That's why I decided to rewrite it. I hope to do it soon. And I tried to not make the same mistakes here.

Well, I think that's all I had to say so now, I present you my new Ranma/Sailor moon's crossover: The Chaos Knight.

« How can such a thing be possible? » asked one of the Senshi. "None of us have been able to even touch him with one of our attacks."

In front of them, the Monster! Even in his humanoid form, we, even with our simple reader's status, all know he's evil. How? Do we really need to answer this question? After all, the Sailor Scouts fight for Love and Justice, so why would we think their opponent is not evil? Well, in fact, maybe we should ask this same question. Because the "bad one" is absolutely normal, physically I mean (why all the bad ones in Sailor Moon have humanoid form when they are a bit powerful, even when they are alien?). Nobody could have guessed his evil side if he had acted like everybody. Quite good-looking, well suited but discreet, he seemed to be the kind of guy we cross in the street without noticing.

Well, nevertheless, there is a clue of his bad intentions. In fact, there are more than only one clue but one is now really apparent. Indeed, this monster seems to be protected from all the Senshi's magical attacks by a kind of impenetrable barrier. Very fast (when a Dead scream and a Silence Glaive Surprise don't have any effect, you get the message!), the fight moved from a long to a short ranged battle and everybody let down the magic attack in front of such an opponent.

The problem is that we all know that one-to-one style of fight is not a speciality of the scouts, even with two pretty good fighters known as Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Uranus. And that's actually the problem or should I say the VERY BIG problem. Because, actually, the Sailor Scouts are loosing, and loosing badly.

Furthermore, they are not used to fighting so long. It's a fact: their endurance leaves much to be desired. And it's quite obvious that they will soon be too much exhausted to even stand up.

Usually, that's the moment that picks Tuxedo Kamen to enter the battle and turn the tables. Today, however, it's not the case. He is in the same situation as everyone else present. What, will you say, for once, he fought from the beginning of the fight? You should know better! Tuxedo Kamen never fights along the Senshi if they are not in a dangerous situation. He really seems to like to play the charming prince who comes to save his princess in distress. So, why is he already fighting? Easy! Five minutes ago, Usagi slipped and found herself in the direct line of a powerful attack. With no choice in front of such a situation, Tuxedo played his role with perfection and took her in his arms to dodge the danger. The problem is that now he can't use the surprise effect anymore and the rest of his fighting style is not enough to really help the Senshis.

So, we can all imagine the situation and let the anxiety bothers our poor reader's breath. Apparently, there is no relief issue for the Senshi! Will they loose? Will we finally see what happen in a world where the Sailor scouts fighting for Love and Justice loose? Oh, I really would like to say YES! I REALLY would like to know what would happen. Would the Senshi die? Be private of their pure crystal (Isn't that the same thing?)? Let for dead on the road after having been stolen all their energy? And if the Senshi would die, would we see the end of the world, the appearance of a new super hero or life continue like nothing had happened? Alas! We can't answer these questions now because this situation did not occurred. Again!

I've never counted them but I would really like to know how many times the victories of the sailor scouts were based only on LUCK, VERY GOOD LUCK. But what I can say now is that this number had just increased by another unity.

Imagine the scene: the Senshis are loosing badly, the bad one smirks evilly and prepare his final attack, his eyes show all the malice he has and when all seems lost… a new voice comes from nowhere...

"I knew I should have insisted more when I said to Queen Serenity that the Senshis needed some martial arts intensive training. But when was the last time somebody listened to me? Sigh… Well, I guess I need to do the job myself… Eh Ugly! Try to fight a real one-to-one fighter and… Prepare yourself because, now, the dance begins."

The actions which follow are the same as always. The sailor scouts are in the same time happy to have some help, worried because they know how much good is their opponent, curious to know who their new friend is, and also a little bit angered by his words (hey! It's not everyday somebody can say that the Senchis suck in short-ranged battle and go away without at least a frown from their part, is it?). The monster, distracted by the new player in the game, turns to face his new opponent, and grumbles that the bad guys never have the luck in any battle to even have the time to finish at least one of the good ones. And, finally, the new fighter enters the battlefield with a jump from the nearest roof and takes an effective fighting stance.

Then, the battle begins… And soon, it ends. Yeah! I know! You would have loved to see an epic fight with some injuries, where us, fanfiction readers, worries so much for our heroes, where the challenge is real and where the good one finally wins but not by much after all he's a true hero, isn't he?)! But what can I say? The new apparently Senshis' ally is really too good. Three punches, one or two counterattacks dodges and one final blow. It's all it took for him to finish the Monster who gave so much trouble for the Sailor scouts.

To say the Scouts were stunned is an understatement, even Pluto, and I can tell you that it's REALLY a difficult thing to do to actually surprise her. The fighter, in the other side, is always near the rests of his now dead ex-opponent. His eyes are closed and his fist shaking is the only proof of the fact he's not a statue now. Everybody stares at him, trying to know what will happen now and at the se time too surprise to even take advantage of the situation to catch their breath. Finally, between two half-opened lips, a whisper is heard by the one who are enough closed to the hero of the day:

"One more is dead my Queen! The others will follow for what they did to you, I promise!"

Then, as if he had ended some kind of prayer, he turned around and opened his eyes. For the first time, the sailor scouts looked really at him. And what they saw was quite a view. Not because the pigtailed boy in front of them was gorgeous (well, except maybe for Jupiter and Venus who had some hearts in the eyes!), but because of the power that emanated from him. All his doings revealed a speed and at a same time some kind of force so extraordinary that all the persons present could fell it.

The Senshis are, in the other hand, really tired. All they want is to know who this guy is but don't have the strength to actually think straight. After all, that's not everyday that somebody kicks their ass without even trying to do so. And the guy in front of them took their opponent as if he was nothing. I think it's normal to say there are already happy to not have to fight them.

Finally, Usagi, also known as Sailor Moon, asked the question everybody wanted to see answered (except two of the Senshis who had already recognized him but you'll see that in an instant): "Who are you?"

The young man opened his mouth to say something but was stopped by Hotaru, or Sailor Saturn. She had glomped on to him and hugged him with all her might. "I take that you miss me huh." He said as he hugged her back. Then, slowly and seriously, he said to her, watching in her beautiful eyes: "Will you come with me again?" Without hesitation, Sailor Saturn answered with a smile and a happy sigh "Of course!"

Finally, without even looking at the others, they disappear in a black light.

Sailor Pluto had recognized him too. A single tear ran along her cheek to finish its course at the top of the curve of a small smile. "I'm happy to see you back, Ranma, my son!" But her happiness was short-lived because just before he disappeared completely, he said in a cold tone: "you don't have the right to call me that anymore, sensei. You don't remember? You disowned me."

End of the Prologue

Author's note: Well, what do you think? I'm not sure the tone I used will please everybody but I had fun to write it. I can tell that I have some ideas that I think are good for this story and I will work on them as soon as I will find the time. For now, I'm in Exams period so I don't write a lot. But it should be ended next week. So be patient and until then BYE.
