Chapter 1: Allies

"Predator language"

thought

Time Gates...

Pluto watched the time gates silently as the other outers cautiously walked toward Ranma. She blamed herself to not foreseeing this disaster. She looked into the future. Then she smiled at the thought of being allied to this tribe. Pluto frowned when she looked farther, the other predator tribes are planning to just leaving the planet to the Aliens. The only tribes that agree with Ranma are the Forgers and Scholar tribes, the tribes that wish to learn and make weapons and metals for other tribes.

The battle field...

It was a barren place with the stink of the aliens burning acid blood. The ground was covered in the greenish filth. Sickening green wisps of green smoke rose from the death pools. Ranma picked up his hunting mask and spear. His wrist blades were covered with the Aliens blood and releasing disgusting fumes. The acidic blood had not eaten through his gloves because of the special materials. The other predators did no wore such gloves for they thought that pain means strength and the gloves were very rare to find. I think I'm gonna be sick Ranma thought as he breathed in the fumes. He immediately put on his hunting mask allowing the filters to give him fresh air. He turned on his communicator on his other arm.
"Any problems out there, Stripe?"
"Only minor injures and burns but we are okay"
It was then when Ranma noticed the Outer Senshi was approaching him with caution. The Outer Senshi had been watching the battle and was wary of the unknown visitors. They had eliminated their greatest threat to the Earth and Crystal Tokyo quickly and they did not know much about the species. It was then the rest of Ranma's tribe step up behind him and was in battle position. They respected Ranma and they won't let anything happen to their newly acquired leader. When they were a few feet from each other, the air was tense as the people of Crystal Tokyo watch from the protection of the invisible barrier. Suddenly Sailor Pluto appeared before them.
"The King and Queen wishes to meet with you" Pluto then turned to the Outers. "Secure safe passage for them" Then she vanished into the time stream.
The people were silent until Uranus spoke. "Follow me, but put away your weapons"
"Put away your weapons" Ranma spoke. Uranus raised an eyebrow the shortest one with the braid was in charged? If he is, she would have to look out for that one. To her surprise the others complied, if they respected him then he would be the biggest threat if he was an enemy.
As the walk through the city streets the civilians looked at wonder as the Ranma's tribe walked down the street toward the Crystal Palace. Kasumi was picked up by some medical teams to be taken to the hospital to be checked on. When they reached the palace Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion waited at the throne room with Sailor Pluto by their side. Their daughter, Princess Rini (I decided to use Rini instead of Chibi-Usagi cause I'm lazy), was standing between her parents, watching curiously as Ranma walked toward them, followed by his tribe.
Long Tusk was the first to remove the mask and the others did the same. Everyone, but Sailor Pluto in the throne room gasped as they saw the tribe's true face. Ranma was the last to remove his mask. The Royal family and the Outer Senshi gaped at the handsome and undeniably human man. Ranma noticed the expressions on their faces and suddenly felt a bit nervous.
"Ummm hi?"

Several hours latter...

"...and that is what happened" As Ranma finished his life's story. Serenity and her family listened to his life intensely, their eye showed wonder as they hear of other worlds and tribal customs. When the story ended Serenity was the first to speak.
"Well, Ranma, I must say thank you, and welcome home"
"In return for your help, your tribe will always be welcomed here" King Edymion spoke.
"If I may ask, where are the other senshi?" Ranma asked curiously "I picked up signals that there are more than four senshi"
"I'm afraid they are powering the barrier outside" Serenity sighed sadly "That is why, I'm afraid, that we can only send the Outers"
Ranma turn his making sounds and grunts that the other people from the Silver Millennium couldn't make out. Two of the hunters that carried several devices stepped out. Ranma then turned to the royal couple and asked to see the chamber where the rest of the Senshi were.
Ranma spent several minutes trying to negotiate to see the remaining Senshi however they were reluctant to do so. Finally Pluto helped in Ranma's favor saying it was safe for them to be in the barrier room. They then walked into the room where the senshi focused their power. Ranma only stared at the four beautiful women, his fellow tribe members began to make strange huffing sounds, remarkably sounds like laughing. Long Tusk regains his composer and seemed like he was trying to keep from laughing.
"Outsider, I don't think it's the time to seek a mate young one" Ranma turned his attention to Long Tusk.
"What! What makes you think that!" Ranma shouted, with a faint blush.
"Your body temperature is rising unusually high" Stripe managed to speak then finally bursted. "Bwahahahahahaha!"
Ranma gave them all an angry glare. The tribe was quickly silenced. While the royal family and the senshi watched the scene in a confused expression.
A Predator technician, known as Tech, looked toward Ranma. "This is amazing! One of our replacement generators models can make as much energy as they do! I must study them!"
Ranma sighed because of Tech's 'enthusiasm' and then smiled at the royal family.
"We have a generator on the ship that generates enough power for the barrier"
Queen Serenity beamed at the announcement. "Can you install it soon?"
"Yes, with given time" Ranma smiled as he put his hunting mask back on his face. It was decided it was best if he kept the idea of him being human a secret for the meantime. I am very interested on what their reactions on us would be, this should be very amusing

Several Weeks Later...

With the new generator installed. Each of the Senshi came out of their trance-like state one by one. Mars was the first to awaken. When she saw the Predators she was ready to attack if wasn't for Queen Serenity. Jupiter was the next to awaken; she almost reacted to same way as Mars. Venus was a little bit calmer, but energetic, the Predators didn't expect this one to be so hyper so they kept their distance, they were unsure of this one. Lastly, Mercury was the calmest. Although she was very interested in the Predator technology and their knowledge.
"Maybe we should fill them in on has happened" Ranma spoke in a whisper as he looked toward the queen.
"Yes, a report should be necessary" Artemis, the white moon cat, looked thoughtful for a few moments.
"I hate to admit it but I agree with this numbskull" Luna received a sour look from Artemis. Diana looked curiously at her parents, they were so weird.

About a minute later...

All the inner senshi had been updated on the recent events while Ranma's tribe waited outside the conference room. The outer senshi went back to their watch stations.
"I don't trust them" Mars stated. "How do we even know that they can be trusted?"
"Mars is right" Mercury agreed. "Even if they destroyed those creatures, we aren't sure of their objectives"
"I don't know" Jupiter spoke up. "I mean this could be our biggest break"
"I think this is kind of cool" Venus looked up then pouted. "Their so ugly though, why can't they be handsome human-like aliens"
Everyone looked at Venus strangely, even after all these years she was still boy hungry. Venus blushed as she realized she said it out loud and looked embarrassed.
"Our objectives are to save this planet and everyone on it" Spoke a voice from nowhere.
"Who's there!" Mars stood up with flames dancing around her hands.
The queen smiled. "You can show yourself now Ranma"
All of the inner senshi gasped in surprise as a hunter wearing black armor appeared suddenly next to their queen. Serenity motioned Ranma to sit into an empty seat.
"And there is no way I'm walking away from this" Ranma finished as he watched the senshi before him.
The senshi grew tense. This unknown being was sitting dangerously close to their queen. Ranma removed his hunting mask.
"Not to mention I was born on this world"
All of the inner Senshi stared in shock in this revelation. Venus only had one thought though.
"What a hunk!"
Everyone else in the conference room sweat dropped while Venus blushed furiously when she noticed that everyone's attention went to her.
"Anyway I am hoping to forge an alliance to help give us a mutual benefit for both Earth and my tribe" Ranma continued. Jupiter however walked up to him to get a closer look. Ranma had a feeling that he had met this girl before but couldn't quite get the memory to show up until she muttered one word.

"Sempai?"

Ranma sat up strait as a pole, it couldn't be.

"Moto-chan?" Ranma said cautiously. Jupiter squealed and launched herself at him tackled him off his chair. The rest of the Senshi raised an eyebrow, so this was her old Sempai. However, Ranma was struggling because she was hugging him a little too tightly. She… she's actually starting to make my armor crack! Ranma thought frantically. Apparently the Senshi transformation gives the girl a good amount of strength.

"Can you let me go now? I really need those ribs!"

Suddenly, several Predators busted in after hearing Ranma's shout with weapons ready. Only to realize the position of their leader, they let out strange huffing laugh. All of them lowered their weapons and left the room, well all but Long Tusk.

"Not seeking a mate eh" Ranma swore he could see a human like smirk underneath Long Tusk's hunting mask. "And it seems you already started the mating phase already. I'll give you some privacy"

Before Ranma could say anything Long Tusk shut the door leaving a blushing Ranma. It took awhile for Ranma's brain to process the last words before he figured out what Long Tusk meant. It was then Ranma started cursing in multiple alien languages. The rest of the Senshi was confused since they had no idea what those two was saying to each other. Jupiter on the other hand was snuggling as close to her old sempai as she can.
