Ranma Half Moon chapter 90 "There's No Business Like Snow Business" part Six.

Author's note: This episode happens during the Sailor Moon episode 38 "The Snow! The Mountains! Our Friendship! And of Course, A Monster, Too".

Ranma-ko leans over Ryoga whose body is hideously twisted (apparently from the avalanche). The sudden appearance of Mamoru back in this dimension causes Ranma-ko's side to twist with pain as well.

Haruka sees the anguish on her friend's face but refuses to feel pity. "What is your choice? Help save your friend or try to save Tuxedo Kamen?"

Ranma-ko looks back up the mountain slope to where she senses Mamoru is. She looks back at Ryoga and tears form in her eyes. "Ryoga will die if we don't take him back to the lodge. That's the certainty. This being the last chance to save Mamoru, that's the uncertainty." Ranma-ko takes off her skiing jacket. "It will take both of us to move Ryoga without killing him. We need to tie the sleeves of our jackets together to create a stretcher."

Haruka nods. She takes off her ski jacket and helps Ranma-ko tie the arms together.

They then gently lift Ryoga onto the jackets and then they ski in single file, supporting Ryoga between them with the jackets.

Haruka looks at Ranma-ko with admiration. She wants to say something but does not and instead concentrates on getting Ryoga safely to the lodge.

...

"Gokigenyou, Sailor Warriors."

Blizzar looks mad. "Endymion, what's this all about?"

Endymion throws the icicle back to Blizzar. "Back off, Blizzar. Let me take them."

Blizzar sulks. "As you wish." Blizzar melds into the ravine wall.

Endymion takes out a black rose. "Sailor Warriors, get ready!" Endymion throws the rose in between Usagi's Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars. The rose sticks into the snowdrift behind the Sailor Warriors.

The two girls look at the black rose and the gulp, their blood turning cold.

Tuxedo Kamen takes out another black rose. "Next time I won't miss. So, Sailor Moon, give up the crystal!"

Oh no, Usagi looks too indecisive to handle this situation. Sailor Mars jumps in front of Usagi's Sailor Moon. "Tuxedo Kamen-sama, have you forgotten all the battles you fought side by side with us? Can't you see that the one person that you defended all this time is right here? The one you were willing to die for? The one that you truly love?"

Usagi's Sailor Moon looks at Rei with admiration, and her eyes tear up.

Endymion looks temporarily confused and his black rose flashes back and forth between red and black.

Suddenly Blizzar breaks out of the top of the snowdrift and plunges at the Sailor Warriors, deadly icicle in hand. "Die!"

...

Haruka, Ranma-ko and Ryoga arrive at the lodge.

After putting Ryoga down, Haruka takes charge. "Emergency! We have a boy who was caught in an avalanche!"

Several of the employees of the lodge run to check on Ryoga and one goes to call the medivac pilot.

Haruka pulls Ranma-ko aside so that she wouldn't be in the way of the lodge employees who start putting Ryoga on a proper stretcher. "I think I understand Michiru better now."

Even though Ranma-ko is distraught, she is hooked by Haruka's cryptic comment. "You do?"

"She's been telling me that being a Sailor Warrior is a horrible thing. That there will be times when you have to make choices where the right choice will rip your heart out."

Ranma-ko nods. Michiru's blunt comments have made me suspicious that she wasn't really on my side, but maybe there was a grain of truth to her fatalism? "I just hope that Mamoru is okay. The pain disappeared from my side."

...

"Die!"

Suddenly, a precisely thrown rose shatters Blizzar's deadly icicle. This shocks and stuns Blizzar, who falls on her face.

"Sailor Moon."

Usagi's Sailor Moon nods to Sailor Mars and takes out her wand. "Moon Healing Escalation!"

"Refresh!" Blizzar changes back into Saeko Yamamoto.

The Sailor Warriors see that the rose that shattered the icicle is red.

Usagi's Sailor Moon turns around. "Tuxedo Kamen?" However, Endymion has vanished, and the red rose turns back into black.

"Sailor Warriors!"

Usagi's Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars look up to see Endymion on top of the ravine's edge.

"Killing you now would not be a challenge. Good day." Endymion goes back to Dark Kingdom.

Usagi's Sailor Moon points at the block of ice encasing Yuichiro. "We can still save him. He's still in there."

Sailor Mars nods, but she is less concerned about Yuichiro. "They say that some fools are too foolish to catch a cold. I hope Yuichiro is that foolish."

"Where am I?" Saeko Yamamoto looks around in a daze.

Sailor Mars takes control of the situation. "There was a minor earthquake and you and Yuichiro wound up in this ravine. Yuichiro needs immediate help, but you look like you're okay. You'll have to go back and bring help."

"I guess so."

"Grab on to Sailor Moon, I'll take Yuichiro. Let's go!" Usagi's Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars both easily jump out of the ravine while carrying Yuichiro and Saeko.

"I'll go get help." Saeko skis off.

"Sailor Moon, let's gather some wood. We need to get Yuichiro warmed up."

"Roger. Untransform!"

Usagi and Sailor Mars set off to gather some loose wood.

"Um, aren't you going to untransform?"

Sailor Mars smirks. "Not yet."

They quickly gather some branches and bring them back to Yuichiro who they have left propped up against one of the light towers from the course.

"Fire Soul!" Sailor Mars starts a fire in the pile of wood. "Untransform."

"Moe, Rei. Luna would scold me for an hour if I used my Sailor powers like that."

Rei laughs. "Usagi, we don't have any lighters with us and I know Yuichiro doesn't smoke. We use our powers to undo the damage of Dark Kingdom. That's what this fire is for."

Usagi nods and is silent for a minute. "Rei?"

"Yes, Usagi?"

"I'm sorry I screwed up your contest."

Rei looks at Usagi. Oops. Because I have been so concerned with saving Yuichiro from hypothermia, I forgot Usagi has been through an ordeal as well. "Dark Kingdom screwed up the contest. I feel a little bit bad for goading you into participating."

"You do?"

Rei smiles. "Just a little."

...

The lodge employees carry Ryoga towards the Medivac helicopter. One of the employees approaches Ranma-ko and Haruka. "Do you girls know this guy? We have room on the Medivac if you want to come along."
