************ Angelic Ranma *************
A swirling vortex appeared in the nighttime sky as a lone figure dropped out from the center of it. Before touching the ground, crimson wings burst from the person's back and flapped, slowing his decent to a stop. Looking around, he gave a low whistle as the place seemed so technologically inept *Hmm,... I wonder,....* Ranma willed his wings away as he dropped effortlessly to the ground below him, surprising the person that was setting up camp.
Lina Inverse gasped in surprise when a sudden rush of wind sent chills up her backside, quickly turning around and priming a spell, she glared at Ranma "Who are you and what do you want? Better talk fast or I'm going to fry you into bandit soufflé."
Looking at the small girl, Ranma just shrugged before looking around him some more "This place,... where is it?"
Losing the grip on her magic, Lina did everything in her power to refrain from sweat dropping or face faulting "This place,.... it's the forest of despair" she then gave him a look up and down, as if appreciating him "Don't tell me you wandered in here without knowing that,... this place is dangerous!"
Giving an uncaring shrug, Ranma reached into his pocket and pulled out a thin piece of paper "hmm,.... Do you know where I could find a powerful person?"
Grinning as Ranma stroked her ego, she took a step forward "I'm strong. I'm the second strongest person on this planet"
Looking up from the paper, Ranma looked Lina up and down, making her blush from the attention "You?,.... Yes, your strong. But the person I'm looking for is even more so than you are. Sorry"
Fuming as Ranma brushed her off, Lina pointed her palm toward Ranma, giving him a half-evil smirk "Oh,... I'm strong alright. FIREBALL!" she grinned as a ball of pure fire erupted from her palm, making Ranma gape as it raced along the ground toward him. Then it was Lina's turn to gape as Ranma matched her smirk, then knocked the fireball aside with ease.
Looking down at his hand, Ranma shrugged and sighed "Sorry,... but that was nowhere near the level I am looking for." noticing the interesting shade of red that Lina's face turned, Ranma smirked "What, are you some kinda heroine on this planet?"
Losing the color in her face, Lina blinked at Ranma and then took a pose "I am the greatest bandit killer known on this world. You might know me as Lina Inverse"
Looking above him for a second as he touches him chin thoughtfully "Hmm,... nope. Never heard of you" Chuckling when Lina fell to the ground, Ranma offered her a small smile "Sorry,.. but I just got here. I don't know much about this world yet." Then his eyes flashed with curiosity "Tell me,... what's this place like. What kind of technology do you have?"
Shrugging her shoulders as she took a seat by the campfire *Hmm,... another weirdo. Alright, I'll just play along until I can get his gold* "Well,... this 'planet' has a wide variety of items. Such as magical weapons and armors."
Ranma punched his fist into his hand thoughtfully before grinning "Ah! I see,... so it's medieval times. Okay, I can do that" he closed his eyes as he concentrated on his body. Slowly his silk clothes shifted into a silver like armor as a sword flashed into existence on his hip "So,... is this the right kind of stuff?" he blinked at Lina as she drooled over the magic wafting off of Ranma's new found armor "Hello?"
Wiping her mouth embarrassingly, Lina then giggled as she stood up *This guy is reeking of magical energy!* "You must be looking for someone to become a heir to your magic items huh? Alright. I'll grant you the honor of giving them to me" She bowed slightly as she extended her arms, expectantly.
Shaking his head with disgust, Ranma started to walk past her "Sorry,... but like I said earlier. Your not the one I'm looking for. The one who will wield the family's magic must be powerful, and possess an unnatural grace." He then jumped high into the air as he twisted around a sword stab. Ranma smirked as he landed back on his feet, and interestingly enough, on the end of the sword "And you just aren't close enough" he smiled at her as he traced her magical lines "Although,... you have come in contact with her before"
Lina's face paled as he mentioned her meeting the woman who would take his powers "Y-You,... you can't mean,... It's just not fair!" Seeing his confused face, Lina dropped her sword, along with Ranma and took a step back hesitantly "It's not fair! Luna gets everything!"
Blinking at her, Ranma waved a hand in front of her face as she became unresponsive "How are you so sure that this girl, Luna, is the one I'm looking for?"
Falling to the ground, Lina looked up at Ranma and sighed "Because,... she is the most powerful person on this planet. The only one I can't seem to surpass." she pouted when she saw the smile on Ranma's face grow larger "Also,.... she's been deemed the most beautiful as well"
Chuckling under his breath, Ranma turned around and started walking in a random direction "Well then,.. I'll have to meet this Luna Inverse. She might be the one that can help me" noticing the look on Lina's face, Ranma gave an understanding smile "Lina,... think you could help me? I might be persuaded to part with some of my magical items if you wish" chuckling as Lina forgot all about her dilemma and started drooling again, Ranma started toward the town once again "Come on,.... I can sense the same magic line that I got from you, from that town over there" Ranma ended by pointing down at a peaceful town.
Lina shook her head and smiled sadly "Sorry,... but that isn't the town. That's the town that we were born at. My sister never goes back there anymore,... too many bad memories"
Putting his arm around Lina, causing her to blush, Ranma grinned "Well,... I may not know her like you do, but her magical essence doesn't lie. There's a unique one per person. And I'm getting a strong sense from that town. Specifically that white house in the far corner" Seeing Lina's look of pure shock, Ranma chuckled and started toward that house "And from your look, that was where you grew up."
-- down at the White House ---
Luna Inverse, sister of the bandit killer herself, was walking through the now desolate house where she once lived. A sad smile was on her face as she looked into the room where her sister and herself once lived together in peace and understanding. Then the memories changed into nightmares as she recalls the day they were forcibly separated due to their difference in magic capabilities. She growled to herself as she remembered her parents faces when the magic guild's guards took her from them. At that moment, she once again lived through the sadness of being rejected by those she loved. Of course, no matter the amount, the sadness she felt now didn't hold a candle to the sadness she felt from her dreams as of late. Luna quickly turned around and stared at the front door as voices came closer to the house "I don't care what you say, I'm not giving you my armor or sword!"
A slightly pouty voice soon followed, one that Luna thought she recognized "Awww,... come on! I can sense the pure magic coming off of them. Those are some extremely rare items. And you did say that if I helped you out, that you would give me some!"
An exasperated sigh soon followed as the front door opened and filled the room with light "Look,... we'll discuss this later. I need to talk to Luna as soon as possible. There's someone waiting for us and it would be extremely rude to keep _HER_ waiting for too long. If Luna remembers her, then she would understand right away, the urgency to return"
Luna stared at the two figures as the light burst into the room "W-Who are you?" She took a step back as the man stepped forward, a smile on his face "What do you want?"
Stopping in his place, Ranma gave Luna a sad smile as he looked her up and down *She looks like Setsuna,.... it's almost scary. I hope she doesn't have the same temper* Ranma sweat dropped as he noticed Luna now holding a ball of pure fire *There goes that thought,..... damn this is gonna hurt*
Turning around to start running, Luna tossed the fireball toward Ranma with a shout of "Fire Ball" watching with satisfaction as the globe of fire burned toward Ranma, Luna turned to walk out of the room *Why did I just do that,... he did nothing wrong yet. I had no proof that he would have too* She was so caught up in her thoughts that she failed to notice the armored figure standing in front of her. She blinked slightly when she finally realized that she was staring at Ranma's chest "H-How?"
Giving her a pleasant smile, Ranma couldn't help but feel extremely proud of Luna * I knew it,... she is the one. She's the one who will give us our daughter back*. He chuckled slightly when he noticed the glare that Luna was sending him "Ah,.. my apologizes. Where are my manners, my name is Ranma, Ranma Meioh"
Once the flames on the other end of the hall died down, a slightly charred Lina Inverse stepped forward and glared at them both "Ranma! How dare you not stand still and get hit! And you Luna, how dare you for hitting your younger sister!"
Not being able to help it any longer, Luna started to laugh at her sister's face "L-Lina,... your face is all black" once Lina had managed to wipe her face clean, they seemed to settle down a bit "So Lina,.... is this your new boyfriend?"
Ranma blinked for a second and felt like sweat dropping as Luna seemed to eye him hungrily "Ah,.. um,... no. Well you see, I actually came here for you" Both Luna and Lina blushed slightly as Ranma twisted his words "Luna,... have you had any weird dreams lately?" Luna's eyes widen as she stared at Ranma as the images resurfaced in her mind.
--- Luna's mind ---
Luna watches from a wood log built house as two figures blur toward each other, their powers at their prime. She covered her eyes as they collided and the energies exploded outward in a wave of power. She was quickly pulled from the door by a slender woman with long flowing purple hair, and deep dark eyes "Shhh,.. Shhh. It's alright honey. They aren't going to hurt you. Ranma's going to save us from them. They don't call him the chaos mage for no reason you know" she smiled down at the chibi Luna, a smile just radiating kindness before she sighed "I wish you could understand me,..."
--- back in the real world ---
Luna stared at Ranma as recognition finally dawned in her eyes "Ranma! W-What are you doing here,.... I thought you,...." her words died out as she started to cry, launching herself into Ranma's chest for comfort.
Taken aback by the outburst of emotion, Ranma wrapped his arms around the smaller girls body "It's alright Lu-chan,... I'm here now. Don't worry about the past. I came here to get you back, so they can't hurt you any longer"
Lina looked at the two and blinked slightly, her cheeks reddening "A-Are you Luna's husband, or boyfriend from the past or something?"
Looking up from the crying girl on his chest, Ranma gave Lina a soft smile "No,... actually she is my daughter from the past. Like me, Luna is immortal and won't age with the passage of time." he looked up in thought for a second before sighing "I believe we're around three thousand years old now,... well, at least I am, kinda. Hmm,.... I'm confused now. Let's just say that I've been around a long time."
Suddenly the around the house exploded outward into a column of wind "Ranma! I know your in there! Come out here and die like a man!"
Recognizing the voice immediately, Ranma's eyes hardened as he unconsciously pulled Luna closer to him "Shit,... they must've followed me."
Staring at Ranma's face, Luna couldn't help but feel safe and comfortable in the arms of her 'father' "O-Otosan,... who are these people? How come they want to hurt us?"
Smiling down at Luna, Ranma wiped a strand of hair away from her eyes and then started for the door "They are the Diving guards. Sworn to protect the earth from any, and all interference. My being alive for over three thousand years, has been quite an interference. So they are trying to destroy me and anything I have ties with." He smiled once more at Luna before walking out the front door "What do you want,... Kurei"
The one named Kurei seemed to grin at Ranma "So,... you do remember. This makes it all the more fun. Just to let you know, I know where your daughter Minata is at" he held up a slip of paper before throwing it at Ranma's feet with a seemingly minimal effort "Be there,... or she will die before she can fight for her life. Along with her friends from childbirth" With that said, Kurei disappeared from view in a burst of purple flames.
Bending over with a shake of the head, Ranma picked up the letter and opened it *Dear Ranma/Kai. You are hereby invited to attend a tournament of bloodshed and death. To fight for your life, as well as your daughters. Failure to attend will automatically kill your daughter. You shall join a team of her and her closest friends as they fight for the right to controlling the last piece of information needed for my immortality* Ranma looked at Luna and smiled a sad smile "Looks like this reunion will be cut short honey. I'm going to drop you off with your mother,... then go and save one of your sisters." Not waiting for a word from Luna, Ranma grips her shoulder and they disappear in a flash of silver light.
Lina looked at the spot they had been as tears started down her eyes "But,... what about me? Onii-chan,....."
