Lunar

Ranma went into the guest room of the Tendo's in order to grab his bag and some other things he left behind. He grabbed all his clothing and personal items that he had, which wasn't much. After Ranma was packed, he started heading out towards the exit of that room when he noticed that Nabiki was there waiting for him.

"Where do you think you're going Saotome?" Nabiki asked.

Ranma looked at Nabiki's face and said, "I'm getting out of here for good. I can finally leave this place. That especially means no more mallets." Ranma replied.

"I don't think so Saotome, you still owe me a lot of money from you being here and for all the damages you and your father caused." Nabiki said with a smirk.

Ranma looked at Nabiki and gave her one of his deadliest glares. Nabiki shivered and backed away. Ranma moved right past her and said, "Do not assume that Genma is my father. As you heard from Lunar, he stole me from my original father and killed him. Besides, what do you intend to do, blackmail me? Or are you going to take pictures of both of my forms and sell them to high bidders?"

"I plan on doing both if you leave Saotome. And not a single thing you can do to stop me. I'll make sure that you are at my beck and call and I'll make sure that all of your money becomes mine." Nabiki said smugly.

"Do whatever you like." Ranma simply said.

Nabiki didn't think that Ranma would give up that easily. There was something going on, there has to be.

"I'm out of here." Ranma said.

He started going down stairs when he heard Nabiki speak again.

"Alright Saotome, what's going on?" Nabiki asked.

"Nothing really, if you try blackmailing me or sell pictures of either of my forms ever again, I'll make sure that you end up in prison." Ranma threatened.

"Oh, and how are you going to do that?" Nabiki asked.

Ranma opened up a small subspace pocket, a technique that he learned from Lunar and his teacher in his past life, and grabbed a miniature tape recorder. Ranma rewound the recorder and pressed play. The entire conversation that the two of them just had was recorded word for word.

"If I see or hear anything that revolves around me, this tape here will be sent to the proper authorities." Ranma said.

Nabiki looked quite pale and started walking back up the stairs. When Ranma was at the front door of the household, he saw that Kasumi was there with tears in her eyes.

"I'm going to miss you Ranma." Kasumi said.

"I'll miss you too Kasumi. Thanks for being there for me." Ranma said.

Ranma went closer to Kasumi and gave her a hug. The two blushed a little and after Ranma broke the hug, Akane entered the room.

"Ranma, you're going to pay for all that you did!" Akane yelled.

She started charging towards Ranma with her mallet high over her head. When she was within striking distance, a blue blast appeared and destroyed Akane's mallet. Ranma looked around to see where the source of the blast originated from and the source surprised him.

"Yo Ranma, I hope I made it in time." The source said.

"Hey Ryoga, ya just made it." Ranma said with a smile.

"Ryoga, how dare you destroy my mallet!" Akane yelled in anger.

Ranma moved towards Akane with his high speed and pressed a few pressure points to knock Akane out into a dreamless state.

"Well Kasumi, this is goodbye then, I'll send you a letter or call you once things in my lift settle down." Ranma said.

Kasumi nodded her head and watched as Ranma and Ryoga leave the Tendo household.

When Ranma and Ryoga left Nerima, the two started walking towards Juuban. On the way to Juuban, the two of them talked about what they had been doing for the past few months since it's been that long since they've seen each other. Ryoga told Ranma that he met this incredible fighter that was really strong and really smart. Ryoga said that he was getting tutoring from that fighter so that he could become smarter. Ryoga also said that he will be attending school in a few days in Juuban.

Ranma told Ryoga about the events of what happened in the dojo. He explained about how Ranma really wasn't of the Saotome clan and how he managed to get away from all of the fiancés. Ryoga congratulated Ranma on his new found freedom and wished him the best of luck.

It was around dusk when Ranma and Ryoga made it into Juuban. When they entered the city, they noticed that the street they were on was completely deserted. Ranma looked around to see if there were any enemies because of the lack of people and Ryoga did the same.

Ranma was checking out an area near a clothing department store when a purple blast whizzed right past him. Ranma moved into a defensive stance and tried to find where the source of the attack. Another purple blast almost hit him but luckily, Ranma dodged at the last second. He saw a flash of white where the second blast came from and motioned Ryoga to come over.

Ryoga moved to where Ranma was at and started planning a counter attack of their own. Another purple blast came from behind the two and Ranma erected a shield. The blast was no match for the shield and dissipated in smoke.

"Ranma over there!" Ryoga yelled. He then pointed to a woman with green hair and wearing some type of uniform.

"Ah, looks like our enemy is a Sailor Soldier, Sailor Pluto to be precise. Ryoga, be careful, this Sailor Soldier has the ability to teleport and fire a powerful attack. If you can engage her in close range combat, I can knock her out and find out why she's attacking us." Ranma said.

Ryoga nodded his head and saw that another attack was aimed towards Ranma. Ranma blocked the attack and Ryoga pinpointed Pluto's location and moved as fast as he could towards her location.

'Who are these people' Sailor Pluto thought. 'They easily dodged my deadly scream and the one with a pig tail easily casted a shield to block my attack.'

"There you are!" Ryoga yelled a few feet in front of Pluto.

'Oh crap, I let my guard down.' Pluto thought to herself.

Ryoga engaged Pluto in melee combat but was having trouble getting a clear hit because of the staff that Sailor Pluto was wielding.

'I need to get rid of that staff somehow.' Ryoga thought.

Just then, a yellow ki blast made it's was behind Pluto. Sailor Pluto felt the presence of the attack and teleported a few feet away to dodge the attack. Ryoga anticipated this and managed to move behind her. He managed to hold her in a full nelson and heard Sailor Pluto let out a curse. Pluto then saw her other opponent move a few feet in front of her. She was really curious as to why she hadn't been killed yet because the person behind her could've easily done it.

"Sailor Pluto, I want to ask you a few questions if I may?" Ranma asked.

Sailor Pluto gave Ranma one of her deadliest glares.

"Alright, question one. Why did you attack us?" Ranma asked.

"I attacked because I felt a powerful presence nearby and my gates never detected it." Sailor Pluto replied. "Since I couldn't tell if the presence was good or bad, I opted for the best option and tried to get rid of that presence."

"Glad to see that you talk a little bit more." Ranma said.

Sailor Pluto was looking at Ranma thinking that she had seen this man somewhere before, but before she could get any farther with her thoughts, a red arrow came from above and Ryoga had to let go of his hold on Sailor Pluto in order to dodge it. Sailor Pluto moved into a defensive position and summoned her staff that was dropped when Ryoga released his hold.

When the arrow hit the ground, black light came from the arrow and a black barrier surrounded the entire battlefield. The barrier expanded for about a couple hundred feet in all directions.

"Sailor Pluto, can you contact anyone with your communicator?" Ranma asked.

Sailor Pluto grabbed her communicator and tried calling the other Sailor Soldiers. All she got was static and put the communicator away.

"Looks like anything dealing with electronics won't work in here." Lunar said out loud.

Ranma motioned for Ryoga to come over to where Ranma was at. When the barrier finished creating itself, Ryoga went to the edge of one and checked to see if anyone could come out.

Ranma then motioned for Pluto to come over. He saw that she was hesitant.

"Pluto, don't worry. We are not the enemy, but whoever fired that arrow certainly is." Ranma said to the Sailor.

Pluto nodded her head in acceptance for now and started to head towards Ranma. Ranma looked at where the arrow was at and he saw that a creature was starting to form from the arrow. When the creature finished forming, it was about the size of an average human. Its eyes where an eerily yellow and its physical body was completely black. All you could really see where its yellow eyes. The creature looked at Ranma and started to speak.

"Are you the one whom is called Ranma the ki expert, or are you the one whom is called Lunar of the twin blades?" the creature asked in a deep voice.

"Who wants to know?" Ranma asked.

Sailor Pluto looked at the creature and then looked towards Ranma. 'Lunar, Ranma, I've heard those names somewhere before.' Pluto thought.

"We are the servants of darkness called chaos sentries for we bring chaos wherever we go." The chaos sentry replied.

"I see. Then before I destroy you, I am the one the call Ranma, the ki expert, and I'll show you why I'm called the ki expert." Ranma yelled at the last portion of his short speech.

"Lunar Blast" Ranma yelled firing his most basic ki attack. Ever since Ranma regained his memories, he found that when he woke up the next morning, his ki reserves have increased exponentially and that meant that he could manipulate ki the way he did during his past life.

The blast headed incredibly fast towards the chaos sentry but the chaos sentry melted into the shadows to dodge the attack.

"Everybody be careful." Ranma warned everyone. "It looks like this creature can meld itself to the shadows."

Ryoga and Sailor Pluto nodded their heads. The three fighters started looking for the chaos sentry. The sentry materialized itself behind Ryoga and created a knife shaped weapon on its right arm. It was about to stab Ryoga on the back when Ranma dived towards the sentry in order to prevent it from stabbing Ryoga. Ranma found that he went straight through the creature and Ryoga jumped when he saw that Ranma was going to dive behind him with his peripheral vision. The creature paid its attention towards Ranma and was about to stab him in the back when a purple blast hit it. It went flying back and crashed through a single building.

Ranma got up and looked towards Sailor Pluto.

"Thanks." Ranma said. "Looks like physical attacks are completely useless against this enemy. We'll have to use special attacks to destroy it."

"Is that so?" Ryoga said. "Then let me start things off."

"Lion's Wrath" Ryoga yelled.

Ryoga launched a blue ki attack that Ranma had seen earlier that day. The blast flew to where the chaos sentry was at and the sentry dodged the attack by moving to its left. The sentry then changed the shape of its right arm into that of an energy based canon. It charged up its attack and what fired. The attack hit both Ranma and Ryoga while Sailor Pluto managed to teleport away just in time.

The attack that the chaos sentry launched was an intense pressure of cold water. When the attack hit both Ranma and Ryoga, they instantly transformed into their cursed forms. After the two male fighters changed their forms, Ranma was complaining about stupid curses and Ryoga was squealing something that translates into 'I should've brought my umbrella with me.'

Sailor Pluto looked at the two new figures that appeared in Ranma and Ryoga's places.

"Who are you and where are the other two fighters that were here just a moment ago?" Sailor Pluto asked.

Ranma, now in his female form replied, "There's no time for that. We have to take out the enemy."

Sailor Pluto accepted that for now and launched a deadly scream towards the chaos sentry. The sentry jumped to avoid her attack and Ranma moved behind the sentry and fired a ki attack at point blank range.

"Lunar Elemental Blast: Element Light" The attack connected with the chaos sentry and the sentry was destroyed a few seconds later.

After the chaos sentry was destroyed, the barrier that surrounded the battlefield came down and vanished. Ranma breathed a sigh of relief and went to where Ryoga was at. She saw the little black pig and picked it up.

"Well Ryoga, I guess we need to find some hot water so that we can change back into our normal forms." Ranma said to the little black pig. Ryoga nodded his head.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Sailor Pluto asked from behind Ranma.

Sailor Pluto had her time key ready for combat in case the female she's addressing was an enemy.

"Why Pluto, don't you recognize your old friend?" Ranma asked.

Ranma turned around and saw that Sailor Pluto was glaring at him.

"I guess not." Ranma said after seeing the glare. 'I might as well knock her out for now and take her to Lunar's to update her of the situation. I also need to tell Lunar that there's a new type of enemy that we need to defeat. I don't know who sent that chaos sentry but I shiver at the mention of the word chaos because of that battle many millennia ago.' Ranma thought.

Ranma moved at a fast pace towards Sailor Pluto and punched her in the gut before she had any chance to retaliate. 'Good thing my female form is a whole lot faster than my male form.'

Ten minutes later, Ranma and Ryoga made it to Lunar's and saw that everyone was in the living room talking about past experiences.

"Hey Ranma, bout time you made it." Lunar said. He then saw that Sailor Pluto, now in her civilian clothing, was hanging over Ranma's right shoulder and he saw that Ryoga was also in his cursed form.

"Excuse me you two." Lunar said to Mousse and Kuno. "I need to take care of something real quick. Why don't the two of you along with Ryoga work out in the gym over in the next room or something? I could take a while."

Lunar then followed Ranma into the room with the painting. Lunar then summoned the computer and couch and Ranma placed Sailor Pluto down onto the couch.

"What happened Ranma?" Lunar asked after Ranma placed down Pluto.

Ranma looked towards Lunar and started explaining what happened.

"After we entered Juuban, she attacked us under the pretense that she couldn't detect me with the Gate of Time. A little after the battle started, a red arrow came down from above us and it created a barrier. We found that the barrier prevents any type of electrical equipment from working inside the barrier. After the barrier was formed, a black creature of human stature with yellow eerie eyes appeared from the arrow. It talked to us and asked if I was Ranma the ki expert or Lunar of the twin blades. I managed to defeat it with the help of Ryoga and Pluto and after the chaos sentry, that's what it called itself, was destroyed, the barrier came down and vanished."

"I see. Looks like our enemy has been studying up on us, but it is weird that the enemy would know of our titles in out past life. I'll get my information network to look up any information that could be of use. For now however, we should tend to Setsuna." Lunar replied after hearing Ranma explanation.

"Setsuna?" Ranma asked.

"Yeah, that's Sailor Pluto's civilian name. Here, she is known as Setsuna Meiou." Lunar answered.

Ranma nodded his head and looked towards Setsuna. He saw that she was starting to awaken.

Setsuna opened her eyes and saw a whole lot of white.

'Oh great, I must be stuck in some type of hospital." Setsuna thought, considering that most hospitals she's been to had white ceilings.

"Looks like your awake." A familiar female voice said.

Setsuna looked towards the source of the female voice and saw that it was the red headed girl that she was fighting with earlier.

"Where have you taken me?" She asked.

"I brought you to a friend's house. Don't worry though. You can trust us considering we were part of the Lunar Empire too at one point." Ranma replied.

Setsuna's eyes widened. 'The Lunar Empire, there should be nobody except for Saturn and myself that could remember the Lunar Empire. If these two are from that age, then Crystal Tokyo is in grave danger.'

"Now Setsuna, what's this I hear about you attacking people just because your gates couldn't sense them?" Lunar asked.

Setsuna recognized the voice and saw that Lunar was there sitting down on a chair.

"Mr. Tenshi, what are you doing here?" Setsuna asked. She then noticed that she wasn't in her Sailor outfit anymore and that it was apparent that he knew her secret.

"This is my house and I want you to answer my question as to why you attacked Ranma here because you couldn't sense him through the gates." Lunar replied.

"He was a threat to Crystal Tokyo." Setsuna said almost instantly.

"Crystal Tokyo? What's this Crystal Tokyo that you speak of?" Lunar asked after hearing what Setsuna had just said.

"Crystal Tokyo was supposed to be a utopia. A place where evil doesn't exist and peace reins for all time." Setsuna answered.

"A place where evil doesn't exist?" Ranma asked. "There is no such thing as a place without evil. Where there is light, there will always be darkness. If you try to forcibly take away the darkness for good, chaos will ensure and humanity will be destroyed."

"And who are you to tell me that?" Setsuna asked.

"I might as well show you then." Ranma said. "Hey Lunar, do you think you can get me a glass of warm water?" Ranma asked.

Lunar nodded his head and went to the kitchen to get some hot water. A minute later, Lunar came back and poured the water over Ranma's head. Ranma reverted back into his male form and Setsuna was only a little shocked at what she saw.

"A Jusenkyo curse." Setsuna said to herself. She's heard of legends concerning the cursed springs but she has never met a person who managed to receive a curse.

"I'm known as Ranma Saotome in this lifetime but in my past life, I was known as Ranma the ki expert." Ranma introduced himself.

"And in this lifetime, I'm known as Lunar Tenshi but in my past life, I was known as Lunar of the twin blades." Lunar said after Ranma finished introducing himself.

"Ranma, Lunar, the two legendary knights of the Lunar Empire?" Setsuna asked.

During the times of the Lunar Empire, Lunar and Ranma made a name for themselves after beating Hibiki in a battle. Back then, Hibiki was the most powerful fighter alive and it was rumored that no one could defeat him. Ranma and Lunar were dubbed the two legendary knights of the Lunar Empire and their individual titles after beating Hibiki were Ranma the ki expert and Lunar of the twin blades.

Setsuna met the two knights only a couple times during that time period and that was when they were training to become knights. She was busy dealing with the gates during that time since the Gates of Time was a somewhat new creation that was made a few millennia ago. The last time she met the two was during the ball but she had no idea that it was Lunar that she talked to before she left for the gates.

"I'm glad to see that you remember." Ranma said.

"I want you to answer one question if that was alright?" Lunar asked.

Setsuna looked at Lunar and nodded her head.

"Did you actually use the Gates of Time to alter time for Crystal Tokyo?" Lunar asked.

Setsuna looked towards the down and mumbled something.

"We can't hear you." Ranma said.

"I said yes. I used the Gates of Time to alter time." Setsuna said quietly.

"You do realize that altering time for any reason at all is against the rules of the ancients that created the Gates right?" Lunar asked.

"Yes." Setsuna said bitterly.

"Then you do know of the punishments right?" Ranma asked.

"Yes." Setsuna replied.

"Normally, the punishment should be your very life, but in this case, the punishment for you is the loss of your sailor powers and abilities." Lunar told her.

Setsuna nodded her head and thought of the situation. 'There's no other choice but to lose my powers for a limited time. These two were personally hand chosen by Serenity XXIV to be knights for Serenity XXV. These two fighters are more then capable of destroying me or any of the other Sailors with ease. By the way they're acting, I guess they're taking it easy on me for the sins I've created.'

"Sailor Pluto, for the sins that you created in the creation of Crystal Tokyo, we herby strip you of you Sailor powers until a time we deem it necessary for you to regain your powers." Both Ranma and Lunar said together.

"Sealing Technique: Null Abilities Lv. Max"

With this technique, all abilities are sealed. There are six levels with this technique and the time for how long the seal holds varies depending on the level. Max level means that the seal will hold for an indefinite time.

Setsuna felt that her powers were leaving her body and all she could do was nothing. She realized her mistakes when she was caught by the two knights and thought that this was one way to repent. 'After this is over, I'll make sure to make these two pay.' Setsuna thought. 'It won't be harmful, but it will be very embarrassing to the two of them'

After the sealing of Setsuna's powers was done, Lunar was whispering something to Ranma's ear. Setsuna saw that Ranma was clearly disagreeing with something and saw that he lost the argument with Lunar. The two looked towards Setsuna and Lunar started talking.

"Alright Setsuna, since your house is a couple blocks away, Ranma here will escort you home." Lunar said with a smile.

Setsuna looked at Lunar and nodded her head. She started getting up and followed Ranma as he started exiting the room.
