Darkness Calls

Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma ½ or Star Wars. This is my work in homage of the Star Wars movies and thus it is purely fiction and not based on any true events. If it were then it'd be a little freaky. But I am making this chapter to come out on the 19th of May when Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith is coming out. And that's why this chapter is titled: Revenge of the Sith.

Revenge of the Sith part 1
Ranma looked at the young girl and saw that she was shivering under his gaze. She said in a steady voice which was loaded with emotions:

"I choose to learn under you. I have been betrayed by the time Keeper and she shall pay for her crimes."

Ranma nodded and said:

"Meet me here within a week. Then I shall start your training. Eat healthy foods and start jogging. Even if you have a weak constitution you wield dangerous power. Train hard or you'll be absorbed by it and by the Force."

Ranma had said enough and jumped onto a rooftop. Then he ran over them back to the Tendo Dojo. There he came to a scene which made his eyebrow be raised and he said:

"What the fuck are you doing Old Man?"

Genma Saotome was celebrating the engagement between Ranma and Akane. It appeared the two senile men had gone through with their plans and had immediately foisted Ranma off to the youngest sister and the only heir to the school.

Ranma groaned as it became clear to him that he didn't have a choice in whatever he could do just because his father was still alive and meddling in his business. Now he even had to go to school with that nutcase Akane. Sure she had enough anger in he to make a good apprentice for the Dark Side but she was far too uncontrolled. She spent the entire time being angry for the slightest thing HE did and on other moments she seemed to be a nice angel. Ranma found that he had almost gotten a head ache whenever he stared to long at the youngest Tendo daughter. She changed moods too often.

Ranma was walking along Akane to her High school where he was about to get enrolled at. He hoped that it was a nice school with no trouble for one such as he but he was once again proven wrong in his hopes as Akane started to do a little chant and then go and pounce on a horde of boys trying to attack her with various tools.

Ranma just grimaced at the sight. This was no honourable battle. This was pure violence. The boys were at fault but no-one deserved such power being exerted on them. Akane didn't hesitate to break bones. Whoile Ranma was used to slaughter he did it with finesse and not like a wild beast. That is not the way a user of the Dark Side should act.

Mentally Ranko supported that opinion and Ranma walked to the registration office. He was suddenly approached by Nabiki who just gave him her best glare and said:

"Saotome why didn't you help her? She is your fiancée and you didn't even help her in combat."

Ranma grinned and said:

"If I were to mingle in combat with those fools I doubt that any would survive."

Ranma just grinned and a rose flew past him. For a moment the world paused and Ranma's thoughts were summed into one sentence:

"What the fuck?"

Ranma looked at the rose and noticed several aural traces around it. There was a small disturbance in the Force around it and Ranma found a sense of idiocy all around it coupled with insanity. Ranma grinned and turned around after catching the rose in his hand.

He looked at a boy wearing a kendo outfit and began to grin even more deranged then his normal maniacal grin. The obviously insane boy was spouting something about the vengeance of heaven and how he was the Blue thunder and about to strike down the Demon with heavenly grace. Ranma's grin widened further and as Kuno attacked Ranma grabbed a metal pipe left by one of the boys and wielded it like a Lightsaber. With several swift strikes he managed to slam the bokken out of the mad Kendoists hands. Then he proceeded to violently bash the Kendoists face in with the metal pipe. Ranma's face took on a look of maniacal glee and in his mind Ranko was laughing with the same air of madness within. She relished in the anger that came into Ranma as he had become irritated with the kendoist.

Nabiki could just stare in horror as the boy who she had first thought of as a jock too dumb to function in normal society became a ruthless person who was currently on the way to earning a few years imprison after violently maiming a person.

Ranma grinned as he relished in the feeling that he was superior to the kid he was currently beating. The Dark Side had its advantages.

Then he went inside and got his papers. When he arrived in class he was asked to introduce himself and tell the class what his hobbies were. Ranma answered with a sadistic smirk in place:

"My hobbies are none of your business. What I do in my spare time is for myself to consider. You have no part in it thus you are excluded from knowing it."

The class just stared art Ranma who stared back at them. They started to irritate him. One girl spoke to her friend:

"Ooh that's the guy that beat Kuno into a coma!"

Ranma turned to her and said at a cutting tone:

"Indeed I did beat the weakling up a little. He was of no importance to me so I got rid of him."

Ranma sat down next to Akane who just growled at him. Rnama regarded her with a cool look at said:

"Do you wish to talk to me Akane? If not then please keep your growling to yourself."

Akane burst loose:

"If I weren't engaged to you I'd be killing you at this moment. How dare you beat someone into the hospital?"

After the word engagement had fallen the entire class stared at Akane and Ranma and Ranma said:

"Don't make a sound and none of you will get killed. It is indeed true that I am engaged to miss prissy bitch here but it is entirely against my will. I would rather marry some slut then this violent macho tomboy. She can't even control her anger correctly."

Ranma felt an aura of anger and fury close by without a doubt this was Akane getting ready to mallet him into unconsciousness. Ranko began to tell him to go and smack that bitch so hard that she'll be feeling the pain for three weeks. Ranma ignored her and turned around to see Akane manifesting a battle aura. He got a dangerous glint in his eyes and said:

"Is something wrong Akane?"

Akane spluttered and finally summoned up her mallet and slammed him through the roof. Ranma felt himself being launched through the sky into Juuban where he saw a good landing spot and manipulating the Force in a way that made him land on his feet he looked around for any disturbance where he might help out and play the part of Jedi.

Ranma didn't have to wait long because a long fish shaped creature came from a strange portal and attacked a few normal humans. Within a few minutes the Sailor Senshi appeared on the scene. Well some of them. There were only three present and those were a blonde and a emerald haired one followed by his young students. He saw her and winked at her. She gasped as she saw him and he immediately drew his lightsaber and switched it on.

Inside his mind Ranko was making a party for herself and she sent him occasional instructions on how to use the Lightsaber more effectively.

Ranma's black robes flashed and he sliced off the fish creatures arm. Then with a look of maniacal glee on his face he began cutting the fish creature up with the Lightsaber. He transformed into his female form and laughed creepily. Then he started to turn around and showed his face to the onlookers. The female's face was totally cold and the eyes were reddish. Ranma laughed again and watched in amusement as the older women blanched at the sound.

Then Ranma made his Lightsaber retract and went over to the women. With a small application of the Force Uranus and Neptune were rooted to the ground. Ranma walked up to them and said:

"So you meddlers do want to mess with the Sith? Well then strike me?"

Ranma released the hold on Uranus and she charged forward with her blade. Ranma grinned and parried it with his Lightsaber. While he kept on the illusion of him being a female his strength was still the strength of his male form. Thus he overpowered her easily and the Space Sword was smashed out of her grip. Ranma decided to finish it and extended the Force around her throat. Then he started to choke her with the Force.

Haruka Tenou just looked at the girl standing in front of her with hatred in her eyes. She hated that damn girl for trying to hurt them. Setsuna had told them all about the vile Sith and how the Prince's of the planets had fought against them while the Senshi handled most of the normal Demons that appeared and other threats.

Then she felt something like a strong hand enclosing her throat and she saw the girl grin cruelly at her. She found that she couldn't get any air and she clawed at her throat trying to let the feeling go away. She fell to the ground still gasping for air and she watched as the Sith was hit with a beam of energy which briefly knocked it back. She recognised it as Hotaru's Silence Glaive Surprise attack and wondered why it didn't obliterate the Sith. But then her mind supplied the answer almost immediately. Hotaru didn't want innocent people to get hurt.

Hotaru was at the moment busy with keeping her power in check. She didn't want to hurt the one she would call sensei within six days.

Ranma got up and looked at her. Then he slowly walked over to her and said:

"That was quite impressive girl. Tell me do you often use the Force?"

Hotaru stared at the insane grin on her sensei's face and a look of horror came on her face. Then she said:

"N-n-no miss."

Ranma was enjoying this. He grabbed her chin once he had come close enough and said:

"Remember me young girl? I once tried to kill your so beloved 'Queen' and you were the one I talked to before the battle. Your power still is as powerful as it has been all those years ago. The fools don't realise what potential you have."

Hotaruy was assaulted by a flood of memories and she said:

"Yes I remember you. You were that lady that had come to me and had talked to me just before you went out to go kill the Queen. But you were defeated by Pluto."

Ranma grinned and said:

"Yes the green haired Senshi of Death has had her sight on me for some time. But now I live in a place where she can't find me."

Hotaru remembered the name of the first woman who had ever given her a nice talk and had done so for fun. She said to Ranma:

"You are Ranko Sitharian aren't you? I remember you. You were the one to instruct me on the use of my Glaive. And you had a brief fling with…"

Then her voice halted as the green haired Senshi of Time and Death teleported into the battle scene with her time key drawn and a look of pure hatred on her face:

"Die you bitch!"

Ranma grinned at her and said:

"Always nice to see you Pluto-chan. Remember how you defeated me last time? It won't work now because HE isn't there anymore."

Setsuna got a sad look on her face before resuming her attacks which were all blocked by Ranma's Lightsaber. She screamed:

"I SHALL REVIVE THE PRINCE HIS MEMORIES AS HE MARRIES SAILOR DEMOS! THEN I SHALL GIVE HIM HIS MEMORIES BACK AND RELEASE HIM FROM THE SPELL I HAVE PUT HIM UNDER!"

Ranma froze. She had him under a spell? Then he remembered the strange man that had given his father the controlling stone and he growled deep in his throat. Then he delivered a devastating strike against the time key. It started to shake a little and Ranma dodged a strike. The Force swirled around him as Chaos started to erupt around him he felt it screaming and churning all around him. Then in a flash he was gone.
He landed on a hard surface and looked around. It looked to be a desert planet but he couldn't be sure because there might be some oasis on it. He scanned it with the Force and felt a concentration in the Force. He felt a large aura of a Dark Side user and immediately set off towards it. He saw someone sitting on some sort of scooter being chased by some type of aircraft with people in robes on it.

Ranma jumped after the scooter had passed over and clutched the spaceship's cargo hold tightly. Then he hoisted himself into it and came face to face with the tip of a Lightsaber. He saw a man having a beard and a young man with a woman standing there staring at him. The woman was dressed in an elegant manner and Ranma didn't fail to notice the feelings the young man had for this woman.

He figured that the Time Key must have flung him into the past since Ranko provided some background information. It seems that this was the planet on which the Clone Wars were started. A deep mysterious beat was heard and Ranma felt slightly uncomfortable as he was still staring down at the business end of a Lightsaber.

Ranma said:

"I don't mean any harm. Please remove the Lightsaber sir."

The Lightsaber was deactivated and Ranma sighed in relief. Getting impaled on one of those things wasn't on his favourite to-do list. He started his introduction:

"Sorry for bursting in like that but I had seen your craft and felt it was needed to escape this blasted desert."

The bearded man nodded and said:

"Who are you. You don't look like a Jedi to me."

Ranma grinned and said:

"I am Ranma Saotome. I am one of the last surviving Force users in my time. I got slung into this time by a mysterious artefact and hope to be returned to my own time soon. I shall be no trouble to you."

Ranko was by now laughing in her mind and she mentally said:

"The bearded fool looks like he doesn't trust you. But the young man in this room is a Dark Side user. He may be of great importance to us."

Ranma nodded and looked as the old man on the scooter thingy shouted something and the girl and a man wearing strange armour were slung from the craft. Ranma looked as the young man shouted that they would have to stop and get Padme. They didn't heed the request and the older man chastised the young man for caring too much about the woman and said that she would be fine.

The man on the scooter thingy stopped at some sort of spaceport or something that looked like a nuclear silo and went inside and the craft was shot down the moment it went away from the port. Ranma unsheathed his Lightsaber and activated the blade. Its red sheen lighted up the area a little and it was followed by a blue one and a green one.

Ranma went in after the Jedi had gone in and found them battling the same old man who was parrying their attacks.

When both were defeated Ranma stepped in:

"Doofuus or whatever your freaky name is surrender now or you won't live to see the next sunrise."

The old man bristled in fury and attacked with a slash and Ranma parried it. He was grinning like a maniac and he said:

"You think you can defeat me? You still got a lot to learn youngster. So you are a user of the Dark Side? JHow pathetic you are."

Then a Force bolt was sent at Ranma who just absorbed it and said:

"Who trained you? Some geeky Sith or something?"

Dooku screamed:

"I was trained by the great Darth Sidious. You cannot defeat me foolish Jedi!"

Ranma laughed:

"You are a joke Doofus. My name is Darth Kaos, Dark Lord of the Sith. You cannot hope to defeat me. And don't even insinuate that I m one of those pathetic Jedi! I hate them all so bad. They let me to die with my father. Nobody was there when he threw me into the pit. Nobody was there to hear my screams. Nobody took heed of my anguished pleas for freedom. All they saw was the greedy father who sold his own son for food and then stole him back again just to sell him again when he was hungry."

Ranma tightened the force around the man's throat and watched as the man was choking to death. Then he abruptly released it and said:

"I might let you live for now but I am still debating it. It wouldn't do much to change history but if I change it then my dream of ruling the world will be null and void. Since I wouldn't exist nor would my mentor be existing in my life."

Ranma grinned and grabbed the old man and threw him into the spaceship. Then he erased his memory by adding a scene that he was victorious over the Jedi but was stopped byan old wizened Jedi. That way he wouldn't change history. An old wizened looking green man came through the entrance leaning on a cane. The first thought that went through Ranma's mind was:

"Oh my god a walking green monkey."

Obi-Wan and Anakin were staring at the boy who had just proclaimed himself to be a Sith Lord. Then he said something about not changing history. Anakin had lost his arm after the encounter with Dooku and Obi-wan was too hurt to move.

Yoda walked up to Ranma the moment the ship started its engines. The old wizened Jedi looked at Ranma and said:

"Sith Lord you be. But no harm to us. Disturbance in Force you bring."

Ranma's eyebrow raised and he said:

"You some sport of talking monkey or something?"

Yoda looked at Ranma strangely and said:

"Not know I do of subject you are talking about."

Ranma grinned and said:

"That doesn't matter. I am just someone lost in time. I'll get back to my own time I hope."

Ranma grinned as some ideas fluttered through his head:

"Could any of you spare me a Lightsaber or something? Because I am a Sith Lord and am currently engaged in a battle between seven Jedi and one Jedi Master so I would need to train a student."

Anakin looked at the strange man and immediately got his Lightsaber out and handed it over to Ranma:

"You can have mine. Obi-Wan always complains that I lose them and all that stuff so I'll get a new one."

Ranma nodded and said:

"Does anyone know of a small solar system in sector Beta Nine Alpha which has nine planetary Guardians? That is my home planet. I think that at least twenty thousand years will pass before I am born. The Republic will be gone by then I think and all the space faring races will either be eliminated and the human race will be concentrated on the planet which is capable of sustaining life. They have primitive technology and almost no space faring capacities. The last Sith Lord has imprisoned her spirit within the Holocron that I found. All I can ask is not to try and change history."

Then Ranma looked at the pair which were happily hugging each other and said:

"When's the wedding?"

Obi-wan started telling Ranma that it wasn't good for a Jedi to be married. Ranma personally said to the old guy:

"If it were possible I would marry my mentor. There is no crueller woman that I know of in my time. I remember when she started training me. She had me run around wearing nothing and then let me walk over roaring fires."

Obi-Wan winced as he imagined himself walking over roaring fires with almost no training.

A few weeks later Ranma was present to watch the wedding between Pamde Amidala and Anakin Skywalker. He looked at them and remembered that he'd have to try and marry someone in his own future. Damn his old man for screwing everything up again.

Ranma felt himself drawing upon the Force again and he felt the hatred within him swell again and he let loose with an angry yell and his aura just exploded around him startling the pair. Anakin's robotic hand went to his Lightsaber and he watched as Ranma's aura was now a dark red which turned into black the moment he looked at it. Ranma screamed:

"THAT FUCKING BASTARD! HOW DARE HE ENSLAVE ME!"

Ranma was by now boiling with anger and hatred for his father he didn't know that he was scaring the bride and that the groom was currently about to draw his Lightsaber. He raged at himself as he remembered things that had happened in his lifetime. The signing of the Seppuku contract and other strange things. The anger reached a boiling point and he screamed:

"THAT FUCKING BASTARD! HOW DARE HE ENSLAVE ME!"

That did it for Ranma. He began manipulating the Force around him and heard it whispering to him aiding him and beginning his return to his own time.

Ranma started to immerse himself in the Force and was amazed at the power that was in it. He looked at the pair and said:

"I wish you luck in your lives Anakin Skywalker and Padme Skywalker. Anakin the Dark Side is there for you. Use the anger within you to become stronger then anyone."

Then Ranma was gone with a small pop. Anakin looked at his wife and said:

"Obi-Wan will pay for what he has done to me. For keeping me chained to him. Reliant on him. He shall pay"

Ranma reappeared above a bed which was currently occupied by a sleeping girl. Ranma looked around and saw that most of the room was purple. Then he looked at the girl and saw that she had woken up and was now staring at him. Ranma grinned and said:

" Hi Hotaru. How's it going?"

The stunned girl just nodded and said:

"I'm fine. And you?"

Ranma grinned and said:

"Well I'm fine. Just got back from a trip through time. Sorry if you were worried about me. Well give you your lessons this Wednesday in the Juuban Park okay?"

Hotaru nodded and said:

"Shall I guide you outside of the house? I doubt that Haruka and Michiru would appreciate you being in my room."

Ranma shrugged and said:

"Shit happens. If they get mad just tell them about my fiancé."

Hotaru looked at him with a crestfallen look on her face:

"You have a fiancé Sempai? Why didn't you tell me?"

Ranma got a sweat drop on his head as she said that and said:

"You didn't ask. But please get me out of the house before your parents wake up or something like that."

Hotaru said:

"Then you'd have to watch out for Setsuna because she is around at the strangest of moments."

Ranma nodded and allowed himself to be led outside where a cool and collected green haired woman was standing who opened her mouth and said:

"Hotaru why is that man in your room and what were you doing with him?"

Ranma's eye twitched and he said seeing that Hotaru was too embarrassed to answer:

"Look lady the only thing I know is that my fiancé decided that it was Mallet Ranma Day. So she punted me twice over Nerima and once entirely towards Juuban, That's all to tell about it."

Setsuna nodded and checked if the spell was still in place. Hmm nothing to worry about. The Prince was still being controlled by the spell. If only he and Sailor Demos were to get along and then the revival of the Serenity House will be on its way.

Ranma didn't like the spark in the ladies eyes and said:

"But I think I got to go home now. My fiancé might want to know where I have been and at least I got a good answer: Sleeping next to a beautiful girl."

Hotaru blushed and Ranma laughed at the blush and said:

"I probably won't be able to explain anything due to her malleting me into the floor. Ah well then I'll just get patched up by Kasumi if she's willing to do so."

Setsuna nodded and let Ranma pass. Ranma grinned at Hotaru and said when he was at the front door:

"I'll see you Wednesday okay? Be there around 2 pm and we'll start your training."

Ranma grinned and twisted the doorknob and walked right into the arms of the couple just coming home from a romantic dinner. Ranma didn't blush when he felt the soft breasts of one Michiru Kaioh pressed against his chest. He just got up and then helped Michiru up and apologised profusely to the pair. Haruka was shooting Ranma angry glares and Ranma just waved at Hotaru and said:

"See you Wednesdays Hotaru anddon't be late!"

Then he jumped on one of the rooftops and started making his way over them towards the Nerima prefecture.

Haruka and Michiru stared after the young man and then as one they turned to Hotaru and said:

"Explain to us who that man was and what he was doing here."

Hotarun gulped and said:

"Ranma-Sempai has given me the honour of training under him. I think it would increase my stamina so I can fight longer against the Youma."

The two 'parents' nodded as they took in the information. Suddenly Setsuna spoke from behind Hotaru:

"The fact is that Ranma Saotome is also the Moon Prince. He is one of he best martial artists of his generation and of this millennium. You are lucky to be trained by him Hotaru."

Hotaru nodded. Then she said:

"I can't wait until he actually begins to train me."

In her mind she was thinking quite different thoughts:

"I wish those idiots would stop wasting my time. They only see me as a weapon of last resort. All that shit they pulled on me when I wasn't Sailor Saturn yet was the truth. They see me as a weapon to be destroyed if it doesn't comply to their wishes. I hate them for that."

Time passed by and Ranma began training Hotaru under the watchful eye of Sailor Pluto from the Time gates. At first she was wary of the Marital Artists movements but the moment she saw Hotaru actually training in earnest and saw her condition become better she decided that there was no danger in it. Haruka and Michiru had asked her to keep an eye on the training sessions.

The moment Sailor Pluto stopped watching the sessions Ranko spoke inside Ranma's mind:

"The bitch is gone now. Tell Hotaru that you'll be training her in the ways of the Force."

Ranma nodded and went to stop Hotaru who was currently attempting a Kata. He said:

"Stop young padawan. Now your training in the Force continues."

Hotaru stopped and waited for Ranma to speak. Since the first training session she had only been allowed to speak once Ranma asked her a question. She paid rapt attention as he explained the ways of the Force to her.

He taught her how to mould her hatred into a single beam of power and she transformed into Sailor Saturn. Then she slammed her Glaive into the ground and shouted:

"Dark Revolution!"

The beam of energy that came from the Silence Glaive was enough to destroy most of the field they were training in and Ranma clapped and said:

"Good young padawan. Now I shall teach you how to heal yourself with the Force and not the draining way you know. First you make the Force be concentrated on the wound and then you imagine yourself forcing it to heal you."

Ranma cut himself with his Lightsaber and willed the Force to heal him. Thanks to a little help from his mentor the cut healed fast and the flesh was restored within a few minutes. Then he watched as Hotaru did the same with a small knife and he watched the Force gather around it and heal her.

Rnama grinned at his young student. She was progressing fast. He had just witnessed his fiancé getting kidnapped again and once again the Bastard did force him to do it because of the spell which had been reinforced sometime ago.

The Dragon guy had been easy to defeat once he had gotten a good look at the Force surrounding the guy. An Amazon and her old granny had come to seek a husband and they had seen him fight and immediately had promoted him as the girl's husband. Ranma groaned as he was once again the subject of affection.

He had been on his way back to the Tendo Dojo and he felt the Amazon's hands all over him. What would be next today? Attack of the bird people?"

Ranma immediately halted when he saw Akane getting carried off by two members of the Phoenix tribe. He was standing there with a look of astonishment on his face which was totally unbecoming for a Sith Lord.

His prediction had actually become truth. Damn he shouldn't have drunk that bottle of Sake last night with Mister Tendo and his 'father'. Ranma had an intense dislike of Genma and would do nothing more then to go and torture him by holding him the contract of Seppuku over the head. Nodoka still didn't know that her son had been cursed to become female. Although Ranma saw his curses more as a blessing then a curse because it gave him the body of his mentor who could briefly possess it.

Ranma decided togo and see what the hell was happening. Genma would pay foor this. That was assured.

A new chapter done within a day. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have for writing this and I hope to get a lot of reviews.
