Ranma Half Moon chapter 88 "There's No Business Like Snow Business" part Four.
Author's note: This episode happens during the Sailor Moon episode 38 "The Snow! The Mountains! Our Friendship! And of Course, A Monster, Too".
After skiing a far enough distance from the ski lifts to feel safe, Ranma and Haruka turn to face Lostorama.
Ranma-ko sneers. "So, you were able to follow us without winding up in a different prefecture?"
"Of course." Lostorama stands and strikes a fighting pose.
Ranma-ko and Haruka nod to each other and transform.
"This night was meant for girls of unusual ability to be able to shine brightly in a skiing contest, not for some monster to cause havoc."
"Now we will never know who was able to show their true elegance."
"I, Sailor Moon ..."
"And, Sailor Uranus ..."
"Will punish you." Ranma-ko's Sailor Moon and Sailor Uranus say the last line in unison, but then notice that Lostorama has wandered off.
"Earth sh..."
Ranma-ko grabs her fighting partner. "Wait, that will cause an avalanche."
"Okay, bum rush then."
Ranma-ko's Sailor Moon nods and they take off after Lostorama.
"Suckers!" Lostorama turns and throws miniature umbrellas at them.
"Duck!" Ranma-ko's Sailor Moon pushes Sailor Uranus out of the ways, then has to do a tumbling run to avoid the umbrellas that explode on contact to the ground.
"Got you!" Lostorama grabs Ranma-ko's Sailor Moon in a bear hug.
"A little help? This guy knocks down walls with his bare hands when he's normal."
Sailor Uranus comes up behind Lostorama and hooks Lostorama's middle pig head with her arm and cranks back.
This loosens Lostorama's grip on Ranma-ko's Sailor Moon just enough to allow her to grab her wand. Ranma-ko's Sailor Moon uses her strength to push the wand upwards between their bodies until it is at the level of Lostorama's neck. "Let him go."
"Okay."
"Moon Twilight Flash!"
Lostorama takes the attack at point blank range. Lostorama drops Ranma-ko's Sailor Moon and then drops to its knees.
"Now."
Ranma-ko's Sailor Moon runs back to Sailor Uranus' position. "Moon Healing Escalation!"
"Refresh!"
...
"YAAAAAAAAAA" Usagi skis downhill completely out of control. Only her natural agility keeps her from falling over.
"Let's see how the 'contest' is going."Saeko Yamamoto takes off skiing after the rest of the contestants. She rapidly makes up ground and has them in her sights. "This course needs an upgrade."
Saeko Yamamoto releases energy from her mouth which causes waist high mounds of snow to rise up as obstacles.
This proves too much for almost all the contestants who wipe out. All but Hino Rei and the mostly out-of-control Usagi who passes Rei.
"Usagi! You need to slow down or else you're going to risk crashing!"
At this point, the ordeal has scared Usagi witless long enough for her to regain a smidgen of rationality. "If I could slow down, I would!"
Saeko Yamamoto catches up to Usagi and Rei to where she has visual contact. "So, it's one of you two? Let's have some more fun, then."
Saeko Yamamoto releases some more energy from her mouth which causes a giant snowball to release and chase after Usagi and Rei.
Rei looks back. Oh no, there is a giant snowball chasing after us. "Usagi! We've got to go faster!"
"If I could speed up, I would have slowed down a long time ago!"
At the starting platform Yuichiro hears a rumbling. An avalanche? Miss Rei is in danger! I must take the shortcut. Yuichiro takes off down a back woods path that is terrifyingly steep and dangerous, but will allow him to close the distance to where the skiers must be.
Saeko Yamamoto transforms. "No more playing around. Blizzar!"
The path of the contest suddenly starts submerging and Rei and Usagi find themselves skiing down a twenty-foot ravine.
Yuichiro breaks out of the woods right where the ravine starts. He skis along the edge and sees the giant ball of snow chasing Usagi and Rei. "I'll save you Miss Rei!"
Yuichiro jumps in front of the giant ball of snow and braces to stop the ball with his body.
However, the giant ball of snow, outweighing Yuichiro by a factor of ten and moving around forty miles an hour, does not feel like ignoring the laws of physics in honor of Yuichiro's heroic intentions. The giant ball of snow runs over Yuichiro and drags him along for the ride without slowing down.
Rei looks puzzled. Did I hear someone?
Blizzar looks stern. "It ends now. Bli! Bli! Bli! Bli! Bli!"
The ravine walls close in to the back to the front of Usagi and Rei.
Rei sees Usagi is out of room to go forward. "USAGI!"
Rei tackles Usagi to keep her from crashing headfirst into the ravine wall.
The ravine wall right behind them closes in and pinches the giant snowball, causing it to burst and not crush Rei and Usagi, but also causing Rei and Usagi to be trapped in a narrow long ditch.
Not two hundred yards away Ranma-ko and Haruka untransform after refreshing Lostorama back into Ryoga. But, before they can try to get Ryoga back to a safe area, the force of the earth being violently moved back and forth by Blizzar causes Ranma-ko and Haruka to be knocked to the ground.
Suddenly they hear a rumbling.
"Look out!" Haruka dives on Ranma-ko.
Mio Kuroki watches the action with her pocket opera glasses. Until she could keep up with the action, it seemed prudent to keep them with her at all times. "Chance." Mio teleports Ryoga back to the lift and loads him on a lift going downward.
Ranma-ko can feel Haruka's weight on top of him and Haruka's heart beating. Ranma-ko blushes. "You can get off me now. It might be dangerous to heat up the snow around me."
"Sorry."
Ranma-ko looks around and sees a blank area where Ryoga was. Fearfully, her eyes scan downward along the path of the avalanche. "Ryoga!"
"Come on, we'll never be able to ski that wasteland, we have to get back to the lift."
Ranma-ko nods, her face a study in anxiety worrying about the fate of her rival.
Mio and Ryoga reach the lift exit by the bottom of the avalanche. Mio leads the sleepwalking Ryoga to a suitable spot. "Sorry, eighty-five. I need you to show the signs of the beat down and the avalanche. I'll make sure you get an autographed poster, okay?"
Mio claps her hands and Ryoga's body distorts with hideous injuries.
"Later!" Mio runs off to the lift and hides. Well, Ranma and Haruka, what will you think of my handiwork?
