Everyone was distracted by a sudden yell of happiness from Washu. They watched amazed as Washu rushed up to them. Inspecting both of them with a critical eye. Mamoru heard her mumble something about new guinea pigs. Finally she spoke. "You two up for a few test?" Nura and Umino look at each other. Umino speaks on their behalf. "What kind of test Miss. Washu? Mamoru almost laughed aloud as Washu flinches at being called Miss. "Please call me Little Washu. As to the test... I just want to run a few Aura and Spectral annalist test. ... I will also need a few genetic samples." Nura looks at Usagi who just shrugs. If she had been paying attention she would have noticed Mamoru and the Jurain envoy cringe. As if to reassure them Washu spoke. "It won't hurt a bit, and I promise we will have fun." Every one who knows Washu turns green.
Both Ami and Nabiki notice but remain silent. Nura and Umino reluctantly agree and are suddenly dragged off. Once she is sure they are out of earshot Nabiki ask the question. "Ok Mamoru, spill, something is up... what is it?" She is not impressed when Mamoru flinches. "Umm... How to put this... Akane you know how your always accusing Ranma of being a pervert?" Akane nodded her head yes. "Washu can sort of make him look like the Pope. She can be rather... umm... perverted when she is abstracting genetic samples."
(AN: Humm... a great spot for a Lemon. While I have one in mind I won't write it. Must keep it PG-13 after all.)
Haruna looks like she is ready to explode. "Don't worry Haruna, she promised me she would not lay a hand on them. " Haruna seemed to calm down. "Why did she want my students anyway?" Mamoru looked at Yosho. "I have my suspicions, but they won't confirm them." Yosho smiled at him. "And just what are those suspicions?"
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Mamoru looked over the entire group. "Ok, I'll play. With my research at the Jurai Royal Library; I discovered the Princess of Jurain and her fiancée were visiting the Moon Kingdom when it fell. Princess Jurai, also Sailor Jurai was great friends with Princess Serenity and never returned after the fall. The fiancée, son of a tutor who I think I might have just uncovered also disappeared. There is no mention of the tutor's whereabouts." He stopped when Haruna gasped. "A son, I remember a son. He was visiting with his fiancé. I had the hardest time keeping Serenity to her studies during the visit." Sailor Moon gasped next. "I remember her now to. I can remember being so jealous because she had a transformation broach and I did not. Mom had promised me one on my birthday. She looks around at her friends. "I guess we now know why none of us remember Sailor Moon." She turns her attention back toward the group. "I don't really remember what she looks like. - This would explain so much about Nura-chan" Mamoru looked at Yosho. "Well?" Yosho smiled; he was right. "You're correct, Washu is testing their compatibility with Jurain energy, and genetic disposition right now. Don't get your hopes up yet. We still need those test results."
Before the conversation could continue they were interrupted by Tsunami. "Everyone, We are quickly approaching the designated spot. Mamoru, you need to get your team to the transporter room. " Mamoru looked at the Hologram. "Thank you Lady Tsunami" He then looks at everyone else. "Princes Serenity, Sailor Senshi, Nabiki, Akane, and Ryoko. If you would follow me please." Ryoko smiled at the thought of being allowed to go along and being the great intimidator.

A group of elders were arguing over how to enforce a rule in "Robert's Rule of Order" when a guard quickly burst in on them. She bowed towards the oldest who was perched atop a cane. "Matriarch, a small party approaches the village. One extremely tall male escorted by eight females. Two of which are the Tendos."
Cologne inwardly cursed. 'Mamoru, you idiot, what do you think your doing? There is no way I can let you live!' She notices the guard is still waiting for an answer. "Prepare the village. They must not be allowed to reach it. Get Shampoo and her husband into hiding."
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Mamoru could feel the sudden energy burst come from the village. He felt several Ki's running in their general direction. "Lady's it appears that the ant nest has awoken. Be on your guard." He puts his hand up to his ear then lowers it. "Washu says that Cologne has declared mortal combat. It is worse than I thought. It looks like a show of force will be necessary. One of the village scouts was getting to close for comfort. "Princess Mars, if you would be so kind as to fire a warning shot into the trees ahead of us? Aim low; there is an Amazon in it. " Mars nodded. "I feel her." She goes through her Flame Sniper attack and watches the tree catch fire. Mamoru did not want it to go out of control. "Princess Mercury, could you be so kind as to put that fire out now?" He smiled as he felt the Amazons back off.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Cologne was patiently waiting for news. The first and last attack wave should be over by now. A guard ran up to her with a panicked look on her face. "Matriarch, they are very powerful. The warrior in red shot some sort of arrow that was nothing but flame. The forest caught on fire and another produced water and put the fire out. We have no idea what the others can do. They seem to be able to sense our presence."
Cologne considered this news. 'It appears that Mamoru has obtained some powerful allies. I fear it won't be enough for him. "Fight, Fight to the death!"
Another one of the Elders present frowned at this. She considered this a reckless move. "Elder, they have only fired one warning shot and put out the resulting fire. It appears they can sense our presence, but has not yet directly attacked. Why do you consider them such a threat?"
Cologne looked at the Elder who asked the question. She notices several of the other Elders are looking at her also. "Elder Lash. They have come to claim Son-In-Law. Mamoru knew the consequences should he or any of the others come."
Lash did not like the answer. 'So Cologne left with just a simple threat hanging in the air. Who is this Mamoru, and what does this mean? Was it worth risking the live of their warriors for one male?' "Elder Cologne, If memory serves, I thought you said all loss ends had been tied and there would be no problems resulting from his presence."
Cologne boiled in anger and rage at the challenge to her authority. "You dare question the Matriarch?"
Lash smirked at Cologne. "As a member of the council, yes I do. You said there would be no problems, and now there is. You tied up lose ends with a threat, and now our village could very well be in danger." She drew her attention to the guard still waiting for orders. "Sister, let the strangers approach, but do not attack unless directly attacked. Do not let them enter the village until their request is made. We will go from there." She yells out. "Prepare the warriors!"
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
The village gate was looming over them as if it were a gate to hell. Akane was looking around nervously. "Why have they not attacked?" Mamoru was glad for the break in silence. "I have no idea... Best guess is someone other than Cologne is calling the shots." He holds his hand up to his ear once again. "Someone named Lash has challenged Cologne's authority. The Amazons are to keep their distance unless we make a hostile move. How is everyone holding up?" Nabiki was the first to respond. "Scared to death, but otherwise fine." Sailor Mars tried to raise her spirits. "Its good to be scared Nabiki, so long as you keep everything in prospective and keep your wits." Sailor Jupiter changed the subject. "They are very skilled." Sailor Moon uncharacteristically (AN: Twenty letters in that one. :)) put in her two cents worth. "They will make excellent allies." Sailor Mercury blinked, "What makes you say that Moon?" Sailor Moon smiled at her." The memory rush brought back a few extra memories. If everything works out, I'll bring it out into the open."

Cologne and Lash were participating in a classic standoff. While Lash's skills were not as pronounced as Colognes... Cologne had to worry about the village's opinion. She was strong, but not all-powerful. Their stand off was temporarily forgotten when a guard ran up to them. "Elders, they are at the gate, but are not making any move to enter the village. What are your instructions?"
Cologne was confused, why would they just not barge in? "Mamoru, what are you up to now?"
Without realizing the true implication of the question Lash answers it. "It looks like Mamoru, That's his name?, is trying to show some semblance of respect to us by waiting to be invited into the village. She looks at the guard in question. "Find out what they want. If their request is worthy bring them to the square."
Cologne was outraged. If they talk to Mamoru my status in this village will be gone. Shampoo's life will be in question. "What! You have gone to far this time sister!"
Lash gave Cologne a second glance. 'She is completely out of character. She is never upset. Just the same old monotone, and calculating Cologne. "I think not Sister. You seem too willing to kill them without the village finding out why. You have misled us about the status of Ranma. The council will stand behind me Matriarch." She notices the guard still standing there with a confused look on her face. "Bring them to the square." She watches the guard run off like a bat out of hell.

Mamoru looked at his watch. They had been standing at the village gates with no challenge for some time. Before his mind could wonder Sailor Mars vented her frustration. "Why are we just standing around and waiting? The gate is wide open! Lets just enter!" He could appreciate her impatience on waiting. He had been waiting for over a year now. Akane then put in her thoughts on the matter. "I agree with Mars. Lets just go on in, take Ranma, and leave!" Nabiki places a reassuring hand on Akane's shoulder. "Sis calm down. We don't want to do anything to agitate them. Unless it's to our advantage. Ranma wantsd this alliance, and I'm in agreement with him. It's a good thing long term."
Mamoru finally gets a chance to speak. "Think about it this way you two. The gates may be open, but would you enter someone's home without permission? This entire village is one big home. It's a good way to get one's self killed." He then perks up and looks into the village. "We are being approached. He watches the Amazon in question approach and talks to Nabiki. "Nabiki, you do the speaking, not counting Ryoko you are the eldest here." Nabiki and Ryoko both give death glairs at him for the age reference. "Gee Thanks!" They both dead paned in unison.
Mamoru was sweating bullets from the death glairs he was receiving from the two ladies. He gently holds up his hands in a peace jester. "No offense was intended you two." He looked in Ryoko's direction. "Ryoko, You don't look a day over 1800." He began to sweat when Ryoko beamed at the complement. The others were looking at him quizzically. "With a few exceptions most aliens age considerably slower. I imagine the Ryoko still has another forty thousand years of life left. - Ryoko, your fighting skills and power are well beyond anything I could ever do. Your poker face is the best, but we need someone who can dance around all the little word games with surgical skill."
Ryoko nodded at this statement. "My temperament is not the best for just talk. What I don't understand is why you just don't do it yourself. "Mamoru chuckled, "Experience for the most part. Nabiki has the most experience at playing word games with the Amazons. They are a matriarchal society. I'm nothing more than a lowly male. "All the girls present, and Washu over the com yelled. Don't you forget it either." Mamoru flinched at this declaration. "Geeze feel the love..." He looked down at the ground and started to pout. Nabiki gave him a hug and whispered. "Its ok, you may be lowly, but you're mine." Mamoru blushed at the comment. "Well anyway, as I was saying, the Amazons will hopefully give a little more consideration." He looks at Nabiki. "No matter how demeaning, do it as we practiced it." Before she could respond the Amazon finally reached their position and addressed them.

Well gang... depending on how I feel.... Only one or two more chapters to write and this arc will be finished. Then its own to other things for a little while. I hope you have enjoyed the ride. I know I have. :)
Any constructive criticism is always welcome.
Uggg!!!! Well, it looks like I passed the music test from hell. I know, what's the big deal about a music test. Well considering I have never had it as a class before I'm I'll prepared. I failed the last one miserably.
In order to obtain some bones points I had to attend a musical. "The Fantastics". It was ok considering it was preformed by a bunch of college students with NO BUDGET. If anyone has seen it you know what I'm talking about when I say there is a different Ranma 1/2 flavor in it. I wonder if this is were Ranma came from. The musical is considerable older. If you have not seen it and get the opportunity go.
Now if you will excuse me, I have to go attend to my over stressed ears. The heroines' voice was so high pitched it hurt to listen to her. It did not help matters they were running everything through speakers.
