Replies to the Reviewers: I placed this here so that I might clear up a thing or two.
Sonic 1: Soran doesn't really know Kenshin's sword style. In fact, Kenshin received the sakabatou from a friend of his right after the war was over. In my story, he receives it from a master who was training him in the art of swordsmanship. Also, Kenshin's fighting style originally used one regular katana instead of the sakabatou which he received later.
Duke: Soran appearing was a one time thing. It was supposed to show Ranma that he wasn't as strong as he believe to be and that he needed to train. Also, don't worry about me not finishing this. When I get something started, I make sure to make it to the very end.
Crystalstrom: Actually, when Lunar was duplicating the process to send Soran back, they spoke for a little bit during the couple of hours because Lunar needed to know some of the details that were going on.
The Setra Prince: Thanks for the comment on the note. I know that the sword fight was a bit cliché, but the only other weapons Soran had was an energy cannon that his right arm transforms into with the help of the nano machines that are in his body.
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO'S REVIEWED.
Sorry for the delay.
Lunar
The next day started innocently enough. In the morning, Ryoga, Kuno, and Mousse continued to fight over who gets first dibs over the main bathroom. After breakfast was served, Lunar announced that he had something planned and that the four others that were eating in the room with Lunar were required to show up.
At 10th Street High, the teacher was rambling on about something from yesterday and was completely oblivious to the actions of the class. Minako and Makoto were both chattering about the latest gossip, Mousse and Kuno were discussing some things about their fighting styles, Ranko and Usagi were sleeping, and Ami and Ryoga were passing notes to each other like normal.
"What are you doing after school today?" Ryoga wrote, then handing the note of to Ami.
"I have nothing planned at the moment." Ami replied, handing the note back to Ryoga.
In actuality, the two of them both had plans after school, but didn't tell the other that they were going to be busy.
"Do you think you could give me a tour of Juuban?" Ryoga asked. "I get lost real easily when I'm here in Juuban and I thought that it would be nice if I could get a personalize tour."
Ami blushed when she read the last part of the note and responded.
"Yeah sure, meet me after school at the front gates."
Ryoga received the note and started to rest his head while Ami grabbed a mathematics book and started reading it.
The rest of the school day went quite well. The classes went on like normal and everything seemed fine and dandy. At the beginning of fifth period, Lunar instructed the class like normal and asked Ranma for assistance in getting people to master the first kata.
The peace was not to last however when a red arrow came from above the gym floor and struck the middle of the gymnasium. Ranma and Lunar were able to escape leave the gym before the barrier was formed.
Inside the barrier, all the normal students fell asleep. The only ones who were left awake were the four inners, Ryoga, Kuno, and Mousse. From within the red arrow, ten chaos sentries appeared and fused into five armored chaos sentries. The girls were about to transform when they remembered that Kuno, Ryoga, and Mousse were still awake.
Outside the barrier, Ranma and Lunar shifted the Nemeian camouflage armor that they decided to wear everyday and transformed the clothing they wore into the armor that they wore back during the Lunar Empire. Ranma was wearing the same clothes that he wore during the battle a couple days ago while Lunar was wearing a white gi with a picture of a yellowish crescent moon on the back of his.
The two entered the barrier right when the ten chaos sentries fused into five.
"Be careful." Ranma warned Lunar quietly. "These fused chaos sentries are immune to ki based attacks as well as elemental. We'll have to use physical attacks to take them down."
"Got it. I'll take the three on the left, you get the other two. I have the advantage with the kodachis that I wield. You'll have to stall until I destroy the other three." Lunar said quietly to Ranma.
"Let's begin." Ranma said out loud.
The four girls and three males inside the barrier never noticed that Ranma and Lunar entered the barrier and Ranma said something out loud.
Ranma started things off by firing a ki blast right down the middle effectively dispersing the enemy's strength. Ranma started fighting with the two that went to the right while Lunar went for the ones on their left.
Lunar was having a little bit of a hard time fighting against the armored chaos sentries because they are effectively working as a team.
"Gales of the four elements"
Two of the three armored sentries used their armor to take the blast and after the smoke cleared when the blast hit, Lunar saw that the two armored chaos sentries barely had any damage done to them. Before Lunar could react, the third armored chaos sentry came behind him during the confusion of the smoke and punched Lunar hard on the head.
Lunar went straight back towards the end of the barrier, but kept standing.
'I thought for sure that the gales of the four elements would have some type of effect.' Lunar thought. 'Oh well, I guess its close range combat then.'
Lunar used a teleportation technique to confuse the three armored sentries that he was fighting with for a little bit. The plan worked and the three enemies looked around to see where Lunar went. When the three couldn't detect Lunar, they tried to get back into some type of formation.
Lunar managed to teleport himself right behind the armored sentry that was trying to reach the other two and used a horizontal slash. The attack connected and the armored chaos sentry vanished in silver vapor.
'One down, another two to go before I can even help Ranma' Lunar thought.
Over at Ranma's battle, Ranma was having a hard time fighting against the armored chaos sentries. Every time he manages to make a direct hit, one armored sentry or another would instantly get up, and if one looked like it was going to be down just long enough to take advantage of the situation, the other would help it almost instantly.
'This is very troublesome. If only I had a magical weapon or something' Ranma thought.
Ranma saw that the two chaos sentries were about to attack. The two chaos sentries split up and started to form a pincer attack. When the two were about to use the pincer attack, the one that was to Ranma's right was surrounded by a purple ring.
Ranma looked at the source of which the purple ring came from and saw that Sailor Saturn was there maintaining it.
"Saturn, constrict the ring now." Ranma said to Sailor Saturn quickly.
Sailor Saturn nodded her head and constricted the ring that was around one of the chaos sentries. Five seconds later, the armored chaos sentry turned into silver vapor.
"Nice job." Ranma said happily.
Sailor Saturn smiled but it was not to last because the other chaos sentry that was fighting with Ranma saw Sailor Saturn as a threat and proceeded to attack her. The armored sentry jumped over Ranma when he wasn't looking and when Ranma looked at where the armored he saw that it wasn't there. He looked to see where it went and he saw that it was moving close to Saturn.
"Silence Wall"
Sailor Saturn created the barrier just in time to prevent the attack. She held up the barrier long enough for Ranma to kick the armored chaos sentry away. Saturn let down her Silence Wall and started breathing heavily.
'Looks like the Rings of Binding, as well as the Silence Wall has taken up a lot of her stamina. Looks like I'll have to start training her as well as myself.' Ranma thought to himself quickly.
"Let me see the glaive." Ranma asked politely.
Saturn gave the silence glaive to Ranma without a second thought. Right after Ranma received the glaive in his hands, the chaos sentry had claws in its hands and was about to stab Ranma in the back. Ranma turned around in almost an instant and used an attack.
"Silence Retribution"
The purple ray of light glowed and the blades came out of the glaive right when the armored sentry jumped to attack Ranma. The chaos sentry was sliced in half and it too vanished in vapor.
Over at Lunar's battle, Lunar just finished defeating the other two armored chaos sentries and was about to help Ranma when he noticed that Ranma was carrying the Silence Glaive in his hands. He then saw Saturn who was near Ranma and decided not to intervene. A few seconds later, Ranma finished off the last of the armored chaos sentries and the barrier vanished a few seconds after that.
"Saturn, get everyone to the shrine. I'll be there in a little bit to talk to the nine of you about some things." Ranma whispered into Saturn's ear. Before Saturn could even react, Ranma and Lunar vanished.
Sailor Saturn looked at the other Sailor's that were watching the battle with amazement and resisted to roll her eyes. She also saw that Ryoga, Kuno, and Mousse, were sneaking away as quietly as possible with letting the other girls notice.
"I think that we should get everyone to meet up at the shrine." Hotaru said to the semi-shocked sailors.
Ami was the first to snap out and nodded her head. She was shocked at how two people she's never seen before, she didn't notice them because she was still recovering for most of the last fight with Ranma, Lt. Maxwell, and Rune, fight at such a high level.
About half an hour later, everyone was all gathered at the Hikawa Shrine waiting for what Hotaru had to say. Setsuna was the first after Rei to make it to the shrine. After that, the other four inners appeared and were shocked at seeing Setsuna being there early; actually, they were shocked that she was even there. A few minutes after were the other two outers, who still didn't know what happened half an hour ago.
"So, what's this meeting about?" Haruka asked when everyone sat down.
"There was another attack that happened less then an hour ago." Ami replied.
Setsuna was calm while Rei, Haruka, and Michiru gasped.
"Is everything alright?" Rei asked.
"Everything's alright, it's just that we weren't the ones who defeated the enemy." Makoto answered.
"Who is this new enemy anyway?" Michiru asked calmly.
"We don't know. All we know is that the enemy uses these creatures called chaos sentries if I'm not mistaken, and attack people that are caught inside a barrier." Ami answered.
"I know a little bit about the enemy." Hotaru said quietly.
Everybody set their gazes towards Hotaru.
"The enemy that we're fighting is from some organization called the Shadow Organization. The woman that fought against Lt. Maxwell the other day was one of the enemy generals." Hotaru said in a louder tone.
"Lt. Maxwell?" Setsuna asked.
"He's the guy that took down seven out of the eight of us in one attack." Hotaru replied in her normal voice.
"You said that this Rune person was one of the enemy generals, do you know how many there are?" Ami asked.
"Um yeah, let me think." Hotaru said, thinking of how many generals there were.
"I believe that there were 5 enemy generals." Hotaru said a minute later.
"Were?" Ami asked, being observant on how Hotaru said that there were 5 of them.
"Yeah, one of the five generals was defeated yesterday." Hotaru said as if it was an everyday thing.
"There was a battle yesterday?" Haruka said in a concern tone.
"When was the battle?" Michiru asked.
"The battle happened around 3:45." Hotaru answered.
"Wasn't that the time where Setsuna told us that we had an appointment to see someone?" Haruka asked to Michiru.
"Now that you mentioned it, yes it was, and we never did find that person that Setsuna told us about." Michiru said, now looking at Hotaru.
"Don't any of you want to know about how the enemy general was defeated?" Hotaru said, hoping to keep Setsuna out of trouble.
Hotaru saw that everyone was looking at her waiting for her to begin.
"Alright, yesterday after I left the arcade, I decided to head over to a sushi shop that was several blocks away. After that, there was an encounter with another enemy general. This one was a master of swordsmanship of which I've never seen." Hotaru said.
"What was his name?" Setsuna asked with curiosity.
"I think it was Blade." Hotaru said thoughtfully. "Yeah it was Blade."
Setsuna paled and looked to see if Hotaru was telling the truth. Setsuna has heard of rumors concerning a swordsman called Blade and she hoped it wasn't the same Blade that Hotaru mentioned.
Everyone noticed and Ami was the first to ask.
"Setsuna, is everything alright? You look quite pale right now." Ami asked.
"Hotaru, you said Blade right?" Setsuna asked to Hotaru, ignoring Ami's question.
"Yeah, and Blade acknowledged Soran when he said that he was definitely the strongest swordsman in the world." Hotaru answered.
"I'm sorry for being blunt but how did you survive?" Setsuna asked.
Everyone was looking at Setsuna with shock.
"What do you mean by that?" Haruka asked indignantly.
"There were rumors of a swordsman that was known as Blade. He was considered to be the best swordsman of the time that was supposed to be rivaled by the Battousai." Setsuna answered.
Haruka and a couple others paled. They all heard of the Battousai and if the Blade guy was supposed to be as strong as him, then they couldn't blame Setsuna for her question.
"What do you mean by Blade acknowledging Soran? Who is Soran anyway?" Rei asked after giving the question some thought.
"I guess you wouldn't know. Soran was a person who came from another dimension. He was used in one of his friend's experiments and he got sent here to our dimension. He showed up right before Blade appeared and when Blade did appear, Soran challenged him to a sword fight. The fight was nothing of the likes I've ever seen. I can clearly say that the two of them were the best at their sword styles. At the end of the battle, Soran won and I took him to someone that I know who dealt with dimensional travel and sent him back to his original dimension." Hotaru answered.
"That explains how there are now four generals." Makoto replied after sitting in silence for a while.
"I say that we should forget about these type of things for now and get on to other matters." Setsuna said after everyone went silent for a couple minutes.
Everyone looked at Setsuna except for Hotaru.
"So Hotaru," Setsuna began. Setsuna saw Hotaru cringe. "how was your time with…" Setsuna didn't go any farther.
"I wouldn't mention that if I were you." A voice said from behind Setsuna.
Setsuna let out a scream and jumped to where Usagi was at. Everyone on the other hand was looking at the source of the voice.
"Who are you?" Rei asked, looking at the source of the voice.
Ranma was have a grand time listening to the conversation that the girls were having. Unknown to any of them, he snuck in when Setsuna appeared. He used his excellent manipulation of ki to stick to the ceiling of the roof and kept himself invisible with the Nemeian camouflage armor.
"Girls, is everything alright in there?" Grandfather Hino said from outside the room.
"Everything's fine." Ranma replied for the girls.
"Oh Ranma, you in there? Don't forget to behave yourself now." Grandfather Hino said as he left to sweep the leaves outside.
Ranma sported a small blush when Grandfather Hino said that he should behave himself but the blush vanished almost in an instant.
"How is it that you know my grandfather?" Rei asked.
"Grandfather Hino is an old friend of mine. Anyways, my name is Ranma." Ranma replied.
'It'd be safer if I didn't mention my last name in front of them. They might figure out that Ranko and I are the same person and that would ruin my cover.' Ranma thought.
"What are you doing here?" Haruka asked, tempted to beat the heck out of Ranma.
"I'm here to tell you some information that I have. Also, I'm here to say that each of you have are taking classes in school have been pulled off the roster." Ranma announced.
"WHAT!" six of the eight girls yelled.
"How did you manage to do that?" Ami asked, shocked at the recent turn of events.
"Simple, I had an ally of mine transfer you over to Lunar Academy." Ranma answered.
"Did you say Lunar Academy? Isn't that school only for the best and brightest?" Ami asked, quickly glancing towards Usagi and Minako.
"Not really, that's just a cover for the general public. The Lunar Academy is nothing more that an excuse to get people transferred out of school for a special purpose. The point is, the reason why most of you were transferred is because I manage to analyze your fighting abilities and to say it plainly, they suck." Ranma replied simply.
"What do you mean by that?" Makoto asked angrily.
"Six of you were taken down with a simple attack." Ranma answered. "The only one who even has a chance of fighting the enemy at this point is Hotaru here. The rest of you don't even come close to having the power of a single chaos sentry."
"We've face tougher things then those chaos sentries." Rei replied, annoyed at the things Ranma was saying.
"If your talking about Galaxia, wasn't she the one who took your star seeds in a single attack?" Ranma asked. "The six of you might be able to combat the chaos sentries, depending on what form they are," Ranma muttered at the last part, "but if you want to face an enemy general, you really need to start training. That's why all of you were sent to Lunar Academy, so that you can train you abilities to their highest while getting an education." Ranma said.
Ami smiled at that last part.
"I suggest that you pack your bags because we leave tomorrow." Ranma said in a loud voice.
"And where do we meet?" Minako asked.
"We'll meet here. I expect to see each and every one of you here bright and early tomorrow morning." Ranma answered.
Ranma then started digging through one of his pockets and was holding onto a pen like item.
"If that's all, I'll be heading out." Ranma said to the girls.
"So Ranma, what would happen if I told the others what happened yesterday?" Setsuna asked innocently.
"What do you mean?" Ranma asked with dread.
"What if I was to tell the girls here about you…" Setsuna began before she was interrupted.
"What do you want?" Ranma said bitterly.
"A date." Setsuna said simply.
All of the other girls, including Hotaru looked at Setsuna with shock.
"When?" Ranma said with a sigh. He didn't want the girls to start prying into his life or Hotaru's at the moment.
"Tonight sounds good. I'll meet you at your house at eight." Setsuna replied.
Ranma left right after Setsuna spoke, disliking what happened just a minute ago.
When Setsuna turned around, she saw that everyone was still paralyzed with shock, even Ami and Hotaru.
