And moving on to more C+Cing:


After a long day of being dead, meeting deceased friends,
enemies, and ancestors he had no clue about, and then literally
fighting for his life through the fiery depths of hell,

Hell,

Darien
Shields thought a bit of relaxation was in order.

Foolish Tux-Boy. If you wanted to relax, you should have stayed dead.



A few hours later, a bony finger prodded him awake. "Unnnhhh!
Quit poking my eye...quit...stop..."

Heh.


AWAKEN. I AM COME.

"Not in a lemon,' Darian muttered.


"It's completely suffocating!!!"

EXACTLY. BREATHE DEEPLY. DO YOU FEEL ASPHYXIATED YET? NO, I
CAN SEE YOU'RE NOT.

Heh. Very cute.


"I'm not ready to die again just yet!"

Death started pacing around.

KIDS THESE DAYS...

Darian: What are you complaining about? My soul is thousands of years old
and I've died before. Then I was Re-In-Car-Nate-Ed. Same thing as
resurrecting. Now go away and let me sleep.



The receiver nearly broke when the college student slammed
it back down on the hook. "I signed up with one company and the
rest are already hounding me!"

That's the way it works. I accidentily click on one !#$% pop up on Asian
porn site, and you wouldn't believe the amount of unintelligible spam I get.
Mind you, the picture make it clear what they're offering, but still...


A moment later, the phone started ringing again. Darien picked
it up and shouted, "WHAT?!"

The Imfamous Split-Screen Phone Conversation(tm) came back,
and on the other side was the familiar friendly face of Kasumi
Incognito. "Oh my! Were you sleeping?"

Darian: At some point.



"I've just got an unwelcome guest," Darien replied, glaring
at Death, who shrugged, obviously not considering the remark worth
commenting upon until finally muttering a bit to himself.

NO ONE EVER INVITES ME.

Not true. There are always suicides. :P




"Are you sure there's nothing we can do for you?" Kasumi asked.

NO, IT'S TERMINAL.

Heh



IT HAS, ER, ITS PERKS, IF YOU MUST KNOW.

The horse, for one thing. Darned if I can remember it's name. Susan likes
him, though. :)



"Yes," Kasumi agreed with a nod, "would you care to drop by
in the morning, around seven? I could make pancakes

He should hold out for French Toast. :)



WOULD YOU PROMISE NOT TO COME BACK AFTER THAT?

Darian: Nope. Some Necromancer might summon me. Or Usagi might bring me back
with her Holy Grail or something.

Death: OH, THAT. I HATE THAT THING. I REALLY DO.

MOST PEOPLE DON'T GET THIS SORT OF OFFER. I SUGGEST YOU TAKE
IT.

"I've had dreams and seen the future, though! I'm almost
completely convinced that I'm the Prince of the Earth, and I'm
supposed to live for thousands of years!"

YES, RATHER INCONVENIENT, THAT.


Darian: Just say 'And this too, shall pass,' and that should serve to
console you for the wait.

"I have to fulfill my Destiny! Three thousand seven hundred
years."

ONE THOUSAND YEARS AND NOT A DAY OVER.

"At least give me three thousand! The kingdom's supposed to
last forever!"

Death: NO, NOT FOREVER. THAT I CAN PERSONALLY ASSURE YOU.


...
AH, YES. HER. NOT LONG NOW, AND IT'LL BE ABOUT TIME. NOT EVEN
MOST GODS LIVE THAT LONG. TOO BAD, REALLY. EVEN AFTER SO LONG, SHE
WAS JUST BARELY GETTING INTERESTING.

Heh. But that won't be until the end of the series.


It would take more than a thousand years and an artificial ice
age before the human race civilized itself sufficiently to the point
where they decided that mucking up the timeline wasn't just for world
heroes, villains, and Purple ArbyFish. For this reason, laws against
time travel had to be placed in order to keep Destiny from being
tampered with.

Ah, but if it can be tampered with, it's not really destiny.


It wasn't so much that lifestyles had degraded to the point
where everybody wanted to change them, nor was it the fact that the
people felt like rebelling against the delighfully

delightfully


In a cosmic way, Fate decided that anyone who fought against
their place in the grand scheme of things would be stopped,
preferrably in a painfully educating manner. The reason for this is
simple: if Destiny is toyed with too much, She might someday toss up
her arms, scream "Forget you all!" in frustration, and stalk away in
another direction, taking the Universe with Her.

Heh



Certainly, he had his quirks, Sailor Pluto considered, like the
curse and a few other minor problems problems, but she was certain
she could change him, given time.

And hence the relationship is doomed for failure. Wanting to 'change' your
partner always leads to that. :)



"How was I supposed to know she'd react like that?" Ranma
lamented. "I said we planned on, you know, getting married and all,
but why did she have to grab her chest and keel over like that? She
didn't even look old or sick or anything!"

Heh


Serenity is quite healthy, despite all that she's experienced
throughout the years. In fact, all of the Senshi, including King
Endymion, have maintained excellent health for many centuries." She
looked toward the two sitting before her. "She said that something
you two mentioned surprised her. What was it, may I ask?"

"Well," Ranma began, fidgeting wildly, "that is, errr--"

Setsuna grabbed Ranma around the waist and pulled her
close. "Ranma and I are getting married!"

Mercury suddenly gasped and went pale. Her jaw fell open and
her eyes rolled back, then she clutched her chest and swooned into
the arms of her assistants. "M-married?! You and Set...su...na?"

Given they know Haruka and Michi, why is this such a shock?


wouldn't have been all that shocked!

A. Quite right. However, they were off chasing people who
weren't expecting the Senshi Inquisition.

Heheheh

They actually halfway
got their introduction speech down. It went something like this:

Haruka: Nobody expects the Senshi Inquisition!
Michiru: Our three main weapons are...
Hotaru: Fear, surprise, a planet-destroying polearm, and an almost
fanatical devotion to the Queen!

If it hadn't been done before, it has been done now. I can rest in peace.


"Oooh, I love your initiative! But no, we cannot. Centuries may
turn, delightfully ditzy dictatorships may raise, but bureacracy is
forever!"

True



"Heck no! I don't need THAT on my conscience."

I thought the Starlights changed sexes with a transformation. Wouldn't think
that would surprise the cast either.



Serenity stared back in concern. "No, she didn't." She looked
away. "Yes, it did, and yet, not quite like that, but in a way,
sort of, kinda..."

"Terra died very bravely," Mercury said.

"She had a cold and couldn't come to the final battle," Mars
added.

"That knight-guy merged with her and blew up the whole town!"
Venus cried. "It was horrible! We never recovered, and everybody
died." She paused. "Except for me. You know why?" Her shoulders
slumped. "But, but, but!!!"

Heh. Problem with temporal physics.


"Do you know what the 'End of the Universe' means?!?!"

IT MEANS I FINALLY GET TO RETIRE.

Only until the next Big Bang occurs. :)


terminal for a nice cup of hot chocolate, the young goddess saw
something that made her spit her drink out in a fine spray all over
the screen and keyboard. Aloud, she read the words on the medium-
dark-blue screen. "General Protection Fault in TIMELINE32.DLL!?? WHO
WENT AND INSTALLED WINDOWS IN THE MAIN SERVER!?!?!?!?!!"

Isn't it always to blame?


"Oye did!" Onto the keyboard hopped Arby the ArbyFish, who had
a little yellow halo above his head and a pair of cheesey plastic
wings strapped to his back. He grinned at the goddess, waved, and
exclaimed, "Oye'z ya new supa'voisa',

Scary, you are, Ben

Due to some weird protocol that had been instated a decade ago,

As a side note, that particular piece of ettiquette required
the Senshi uniform to be in the highest mode available to the wearer.
Fortunately for the temporally-displaced martial artist, she had not
discovered Super or Eternal Senshi levels, or the entire experience
would have been made all the more nerve-grinding by the addition of
more skirts, bigger ribbons, hair decorations, and, quite possibly,
fluffy, feathery wings.

True



"No, do as you like there," the Queen replied, "but I just
won't let you two get married without proper wedding dresses."
She put her foot down loudly against the polished marble floor.

Of course


After staring at his computer screen nonstop for two months,
he came to an indecision. "Nah, anyone can get Ranma into a wedding
dress. I'll blow up the universe instead."

He pushed The Big, Red, Shiny "Erase History" Button.

Hehehehe.


*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!*BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!*

&&&[That, as they say, is that.]

Hope you liked it! If you did, please say so!

Cute work, but it felt like you tried to jam everything in at the end there.
Perhaps appropriate, depending on how you work the next volume. I'll look
forward to it.
