Ranma Half Moon chapter 83 "The Second Mysterious Transfer Student Part Three".

Author's note: This episode happens during the Sailor Moon episode 37 "Aim to be a Princess? Usagi's weird training".

Author's Note: The Yoma Monster Shakoukai speaks in the dialect of formal Japanese.

Kunzite teleports from Dark Kingdom to Princess Rose's mansion.

"Master Kunzite. Your plans have been faithfully followed."

"That is good, Princess Rose. Now, are our students practicing Frisbee?"

"Of course."

"Good. Frisbee is similar to Sailor Moon's Tiara attack. If a student is good at Frisbee and bad at everything else, then she will be Sailor Moon."

"Do you really think that Sailor Moon will come so easily into our trap?"

"Yes. She simply cannot help herself."

"I see."

Kunzite smiles, but his smile hides deeply troubled feelings. I cannot believe Prince Endymion and I had a fight in front of Queen Beryl. Fortunately, Queen Beryl had not minded our disgraceful display.

But there is something about Prince Endymion that disturbs me greatly. I even had a dream about Prince Endymion the night before. It was a dream about a long ago age when the four generals seemed to live together in harmony, all serving a great ruler. The ruler seemed to be Prince Endymion. But this version of Endymion was wise, strong and skilled with his sword, quite unlike the former Tuxedo Mask.

"We'll see tonight if we have found our prey."

...

Makoto, Ami, Rei and Minako arrive at the Rose Mansion, each dressed in a ball gown.

Minako looks at her handiwork. It is a good thing that I somehow had a bunch of ball gowns in my closet. I can't really remember how they got there, though.

But at least the girls all look good, even though it took a lot of work to help Makoto get into her dress. She's only fourteen. Why are her breasts so big?

Ami searches for guards, and Rei uses her psychic ability to see if they have a clear route. They both nod. All clear.

The girls enter and easily find the ballroom.

"May I have the next dance?"

It surprises the girls that none of the male dancers seem to have a clue that they do not belong there.

Rei dances but has difficulty. Oh, no, something is wrong. My psychic intuition is trying to warn me of something and is blocking my ability to ballroom dance.

Minako watches Makoto and Ami dance. They seem to be naturals at it.

"May I have the next dance?"

"Sure." Minako goes with her partner, eager to prove to the other girls that she has ballroom dancing skills as well.

"Ouch!" The male partner grimaces when Minako steps on his foot.

This startles Minako. She had briefly blacked out and flashed back to some other ball. "Sorry."

"Ouch!"

As much as Minako wants to avoid spacing out, she cannot stop the flood of images to her mind. I think I can make out three familiar looking figures: Tuxedo Kamen, a red-headed girl with a braided ponytail, and a girl with glasses. What could this all mean?

Minako suddenly notices that Usagi has fallen with in a few feet of her. "Come on, Usagi, we're all rooting for you." Minako watches Usagi look around, see the other girls, and smile.

Minako sees Ami and Makoto get tapped on the shoulder and led into a back room.

Minako looks at Rei and Usagi. "I guess we didn't do so well?"

"I would watch out. My psychic powers have been sounding the alarm from the moment I walked in here. This might be a trap."

Suddenly a Yoma Monster appears in front of them. "Gokigenyou. Allow me to make my introduction to you wonderful people. I am the Yoma Monster Shakoukai. And, it is my humble belief that one of you is Sailor Moon."

Usagi looks at the monster in shock. "Why would you say that?"

"Because Sailor Moon is a clumsy girl, completely lacking in refinement and manners. Having her pass the princess seminar would be about as likely as seeing a pig fly. Since you three failed, one of you should be Sailor Moon."

Rei nods. "That is a sound line of thinking."

Minako nods.

Usagi blows her stack. "What are you doing? This is a Yoma Monster. This is not the time to be complimenting her on her logic!"

"Please allow me to turn you three into wax figures." Yoma Monster Shakoukai sprays the three girls with wax. They immediately scatter and hide behind the ornate arches that decorate the hall.

"There is no need to hide. I will find you."

Luna and Artemis leap out of hiding from a balcony and obscure the Yoma Monster's vision.

"Now." Usagi leads a charge to the second-story balcony where the three girls jump off and transform into Sailor Warriors in the air.

Yoma Monster Shakoukai breaks free of Luna and Artemis and follows outside. "Now where could those girls be?"

"We're right here!"

"Sailor Jupiter."

"Sailor Venus."

"Sailor Moon. And in the name of the Moon I will most humbly punish you."

"Oh, is that so?"

"A Yoma Monster who fills young girls' hearts with dreams of becoming a princess and then turns them into wax figures, all for the goal of trapping Sailor Moon. That is not proper etiquette."

"Horrors. But, sometimes things cannot be helped. Die!" Shakoukai sprays wax.

"Fire Soul!" Sailor Mars counters the attack, but her fires do not come close to Shakoukai.

"Crescent Beam!" Sailor Venus goes on the offensive as Shakoukai does another round of wax. Again, the attack stops the wax but does not come close to Shakoukai.

"Your powers will soon fade, but my wax will go on forever." Shakoukai approaches the three Sailor Warriors in a menacing fashion.

A red rose stops her from advancing. The rose then changes to black.

Prince Endymion appears, looking calm, cool, and merciless. "Sailor Moon. Give me the Silver Crystal and I will let you live."

...

At a nearby hospital, Kuno is being bandaged up.

A nurse questions Mio Kuroki. "Do you know what happened?"

"No, I just found him at the bottom of a long flight of stairs and called for help on my cell phone."

"Well, your friend took a severe blow to the head and might have some short-term memory loss. But, I think he'll be okay in a couple of weeks."

"Thank goodness."

Mio takes out her cell phone and takes some more pictures of Kuno. This will make a very interesting show and tell.
