Coming Home

Chapter 4

I do not own Ranma ½, Sailor Moon, or Dragon Ball Z. This fanfiction is written for fun.

Cologne looked at the young man in shock. This was Ranma Saotome's son? She scanned him, as he seemed to search the area for other threats.

He looked at each of the Sailor Senshi, but not like Happosai would. She noted his gaze locking with three of them…yes the ones she sensed had major power to back them up. Then he locks onto something. Her eyes widened in shock and horror at what she saw, and noted Happosai's reaction as well. This boy could easily kill her, Happosai, and the rest of the Wrecking Crew put together; including that Ryu Komon fellow and Taro in his cursed form.

She knew she had to get him for the tribe, if anything as an ally since she knew damn well if she tried to force his hand….

Her gaze shifted as a familiar power spike and two smaller ones drew her attention. The spike was just outside the wall when it leapt over it. Ancestors no, what is Herb doing here and...why was the Musk Prince currently a princess? She knew that this would not turn out well.

Herb; prince of the Musk, currently princess, frowned as she entered the walled-in enclosure. There stood Cologne of the Amazons, but there were others with her. Ignoring them and the scantily clad women Mint and Lime oogled, she approached the Elder of the Amazons.

"Cologne, I seek the unlocking kettle, you will tell me where it is."

Shampoo looked up in shock at the woman who had flown in and felt like wetting herself…if the paralysis shiatsu point Cologne had used would wear off first. Herb was not someone you wanted to mess with and she knew it. Then things went south when Boy Toy spoke up.

"You should show the old woman a modicum of respect; if only for her advanced age, lady."

Shampoo winced as the dragon prince…er...princess locked eyes with him…this would not end well.

"Who are you, boy, to speak to me like that? I am Herb; Prince of the Musk, and descendant of Dragons. I will speak to the old woman as I see fit."

Raiden glared at Herb, wondering if she and Kuno were related. "Look lady, I can see you are a woman from here. All I am asking is you show the old lady some respect and act like the Princess you are supposed to be."

Herb jerked as if hit. Her eyes narrowed in anger as she spoke. "Miserable peasant, I am a man. The form I wear is because of an accident with the locking ladle. You will remain silent or I will make you be silent. Is THAT understood, you idiot?"

Raiden snorted and crossed his arms over his chest. He glared at Herb. "Well Princess, you really must be one spoiled brat. Courtesy costs you nothing and can benefit you greatly …but you must have missed that lesson worrying about how your makeup looked…or you may be having your monthlies right now. I know what that can be like with all…"

Raiden never got to finish what he was saying as Herb flew at him and belted him, knocking the teenage Sayajin into and through Furinken High.

"Shut the Hell UP!" she screamed.

Herb glared at the hole as Raiden shot back and returned the strike, knocking her through the gates and into a local building. "Just because you are a woman doesn't mean I won't hit back, bitch!"

Nodoka's eyes widened at the sight before her. Raiden and this other person were at it like nothing she had seen before. There very speed reminded her of stories told of an ancestor of her own, yet neither used a weapon.

She could hear both Genma and Soun making scared noises as Herb slammed her fist in his stomach then fired a—by her Ancestors! An honest to Kami-Sama chi blast—in his face. He flew backwards into the school before his answer came out.

"Gallet Gun!"

Herb dodged to one side quickly as the blue bolt shot past him and into a parked car, ripping it to shreds.

She glared at the warrior and fired a few more off at him; hoping to do some damage. She knew that no Musk would lower themselves to use a monkey as a bride, so that left only the Phoenix or the Amazons. Given the fact that he had no wings, that left only the Amazons and given he was male….

Herb cursed in an unladylike fashion as Raiden's foot connected with her head and sent her at a telephone pole. She struck it hard, causing it to split in half. Picking one end up and using it like a bat, Herb knocked the sayajin through the retaining wall and into Furinken high once again.

This is getting bothersome. Why won't he stay down?

Nabiki watched with growing horror as the fight slowly escalated. Her feelings of dread grew as Herb took flight and taunted Raiden.

"Fool peasant. Behold one of my…"

Her words were cut short and shocked gasps reached Nabiki's ears as Raiden floated upwards. "What is so great about being able to fly? I've been able too since I was 4."

An inarticulate scream was Herb's answer as she flung the telephone pole at Raiden. He caught it and slammed it into the ground driving it in for several feet. He looked back up in time to have Herb kick him in the family jewels. Raiden screamed in pain as Herb grabbed him by the hair, spun him around and threw him headlong into a nearby restaurant. Raiden hit it and crashed through the main room, through the kitchen, and then up against the main propane tank. He slowly tried getting up as gas hissed from the tank.

Herb drew both hands back and fired the largest chi blast she could. People were already running from the restaurant as Nabiki heard someone yelling about a gas leak. The chi blast hit and the restaurant exploded.

The crowd watched as Herb slowly settled to the ground and collapsed huffing and puffing in obvious exhaustion. She began to chuckle the laugh outright as the flames, from the fire, grew larger and a smaller secondary explosion could be heard.

"I beat you. I beat you, you bastard!"

Everyone was silent as they watched when…the martial artists and Herb stared as a spike of power grew and a third, the largest explosion yet, erupted. The blast wave extinguished the fires as a figure stood up. He glowed golden and his outfit was in tatters, revealing a tattoo on his left upper arm. Gold hair and teal eyes locked onto Herb and Nabiki would later claim she heard the music from the Terminator playing in the background.

Herb shook her head in horror as Cologne spoke, quickly to Shampoo and Mousse. "I declare him immune to the Kisses of Marriage and Death. I may be old and set in my ways but right now he could take Saffron on and win. We will not antagonize him any more than need be."

Tatewaki Kuno, having recently awoken stared in shock and awe. He had spoken of it often to his fellow students but to see it actually happen, to think the man whom had aided him in his endeavor…

Truly the Wrath of Heaven has arrived. It is obvious now…. his very name…the fact he can control lightning as he does…truly a Kami walks among us!

Sailor Saturn kept up healing the young man they dragged from the crater made by his impact from fighting the other guy. His injuries were horrific and extensive. If that one blow had been an inch to the right or an inch higher he would either be dead or completely loose the use of his legs. Though this was taxing her she was glad to do it.

Though if she really knew Ryoga…. she would have merely healed him so the pounding could continue.

Nabiki's brain was nearing shut down mode. Her fiancé had been at ground zero of a gas explosion and all it did was damage his clothing. What the Hell was he? There had to be more to this than she knew and she would put good money on the fact that it was one hell of a story. Her father and Genma had looks of shock and awe on their faces as he strode towards a screaming Herb.

"All right Raiden when this is over we will have a little chat about how you can survive something like that."

Raiden looked at her. "You think that was bad? Mom's damn near pulled dad through planets when the Supreme Kai was training them. This is nothing compared to what I have had to fight through. Now then, I have a princess who needs to have her crown shoved up her ass; or I'll pull her scepter out of it…. one of the two."

Nabiki stared at Raiden in horror as he reached Herb.

Raiden grabbed Herb by the throat and hefted her with one hand. He looked her in her fear filled eyes and spoke. "I am not a punching bag; I will not be pushed around by you or anyone else. Hell my own grandfather knows that and respects me for it; so you will shut the Hell up and listen to what I say, bitch."

Herb tried once more to kick him in the jewels only nothing happened save for a tightening of his grip. "Not nice, bitch. Why is it there are these idiot princesses that think they rule everything they bloody well see, but can't even control themselves? I mean, is it in the briefing materials that they think they are queen bitch of the universe or what?

"So here is what we are going to do. You will apologize to the old lady for your actions or I will arrange for you to meet your ancestors; your choice."

"Is he human?" Sailor Moon asked Mercury as she scanned Raiden. The princess comments were not sitting well with her. The blue haired senshi jerked at some information.

"99.95 percent human; the rest is unknown. Also he isn't even at full power yet. My scans indicate he is only at half strength even now…though at this power he could take on all of us. Including Saturn and kick our butts. I also…. wait this is really weird..."

As all of the Senshi stared at her, Venus was the first to speak. "Kick all of our Butts? That's crazy Saturn can blow up a planet if need be; she should be stronger than him."

"Well she isn't…this is really weird apparently…he shares DNA with one of us."

Sailor Moon and the others were trying their best to wrap their brains around the fact that someone other than Moon was more powerful than Saturn.

"Who?" Pluto asked, a feeling of dread starting to fill her.

"Small Lady."

All of the Senshi turned to see her sitting there beside the old pervert eating popcorn and talking to him. "It was so funny when uncle woke up and…"

She looked at the other Senshi, feeling and now seeing them staring at her. "What?"

Mint was a Musk warrior. He was a good Musk warrior, though he did suffer from the one flaw most Musk warriors suffered. Here in Japan it was increased to beyond the breaking point.

"Titties…. acres and acres of titties!"

Lime however was made of sterner stuff, especially when the Musk king would have them turned into harem guards if anything happened to Herb…. Lime didn't want to loose THAT piece of anatomy. So he hit Mint hard and screamed at him out of concern for their future health and welfare and possibility of scoring.

"What?" Asked a slightly perplexed and angry Mint.

"The prince is in trouble, Idiot, We have to help him." Mint replied growling and pointing.

Mint looked and blanched remembering what the King had told him. On an unseen signal both warriors leapt at Raiden hoping to catch him off guard. All they got was a world of pain followed by blissful unconsciousness.

Shampoo looked on in horror as the two Musk warriors hit the retaining wall then slid downward and made no move thereafter. She looked at Raiden and noted that his tail was firmly wrapped around his waist like a belt. She looked over at cologne and spoke in a frightened voice in mandarin.

"Please tell me you, honored ancestor, could track his movements?"

Cologne looked at her and Shampoo saw something new in her eyes, it was fear. She swallowed hard when Cologne gave her her answer. "Child, I will tell you the truth…. No I did not see him move."

Shampoo swallowed hard and looked at the Saotome youth. Fear was spiking in her and she did not like it. He had, by himself, defeated Herb of the Musk. This was something that should be impossible but there it was before her. The Musk Princess held up like a petulant child by their parent. Shampoo knew the council would hear of this and wondered what their answer would be.

And Chapter 4 is done. Pair ups...well I have the craziest idea about whom to pair Raiden up with..a girl from Ranma 1/2 but she hasnt been shown yet though like his father he may have two wives to deal with...would say stinking panda but Genma may or may not be responsible. I wish to thank everyone at Zorch's Blog and Shinjis webboard for their ingfo, help and input, plus betaing.
