Upon further inspection, for some reason some of the paragraphs didn't
indent, and it erased all of my double spacing.  But like I said earlier, who
cares.  This is the end, and I hope everyone thinks it went out with a BANG
like I did.

Chapter 9: The Dark At The End Of The Tunnel
"And how the hell do we do that?" barked Ryoga.
	"Why are you asking me?" replied Ranma.
"Wait," interrupted Ukyou.  "Didn't someone say they
had this other plan?"
	"Ahem, I did," interjected Mercury.  "I've located Happosai with my
computer, it wasn't too hard considering the energy he was giving off, it was
just a matter of matching the oscillation of his energy with the frequency of
potential energy, which most people don't realize does actually emit waves,
much like radiant energy..."
"Will you please get to the point," said Venus.
	"Yes, anyways, I figure that there is one weapon we haven't thought of using
yet that has enough power to stop Happosai.  The moon crystal."
"No, I tried it already, it was no use, Happosai just
plowed right through it," Sailor Moon grimly answered. "Maybe by yourself,
but with the energy of the rest of
the scouts added to yours, it should be enough to stop him!" Mars voiced.
	"What are we waiting for then, let's finish this," said Tux.
	From out of nowhere, Beryl appeared before them.  She was in mass hysteria,
she looked like a nervous wreck.  She looked around madly, looking for
someone, and when she realized he wasn't there, she quickly ran to Sailor
Moon.
	"You've got to help me!  That freak won't leave me alone!" cried Beryl.
 "Please, get him away from me, and I'll let you all go.  Hell, I'll leave
the whole earth alone from now on, just save me from HIM!" she babbled.
	"Jesus, I would never have thought Beryl was like this," uttered Mars.  This
was all the scout's first time encountering Beryl.  "Kind of pathetic
really."
	Beryl was in Mars' face before she knew it.  "Pathetic? Have you seen that
pervert!  I can't stop him, and he won't stop until he... he...," she drivels
before she begins shuddering at the thought of the old freak touching her. 
"Queenie!  So you're back here!" a voice shouted from
behind her.
	"AHHHHHH!" Beryl screamed as Happosai appeared.  Get him away from me!
 Please, I'll do whatever you want, just get him away from me!"
	"Alright scouts, let's do this!" commanded Sailor Moon as all the scouts
formed a line behind Sailor Moon.  Tuxedo Mask stood by her side as she held
out the moon wand.  "Moon Crystal Power!" she chanted as a glorious light
began to fill the room.
	Sailor Moon's uniform melted away as a magnificent white gown replaced it.
 Tuxedo Mask's tux also evaporated as a black and blue uniform with a cape
replaced it. 
Happosai screamed in delight with the brief sight of
Sailor Moon naked, and then in pain as a beam of light shot out of the wand
and struck him.  A gold glow began surrounding Happosai and all the scouts.
	"Mars Star Power!"
	"Jupiter Star Power!"
	"Venus Star Power!"
	"Mercury Star Power!"


	As they all said this, the jewel in their tiara began to shine, as their
energies were added to Sailor Moons. 
"Sailor Planet Power!" screamed Sailor Moon.


The energy illuminated the entire cavern, as Happosai
was continuously bombarded with it.  Everyone had to cover their eyes to
avoid the blinding light.
	After thrashing for awhile, Happosai gritted his teeth, and managed to pull
himself together.
	"Naughty girls... Give you... spanking," Happosai said through his pain.
"It's not stopping him," worried Sailor Moon.  "And I
can't keep this up much longer."
"We all used too much energy today," shouted Mercury
through the roar of the energy.  "We need more power!" Ranma quickly pulled
Ryoga aside.  "I have an idea, but
I don't know if it'll work," he told him.
	"It couldn't hurt," shouted back Ryoga.
	"Actually, it could, but none of that will matter if we don't stop Happosai
now."
	"What is it?" inquired Ryoga.
	"Do you still have enough energy for a chi blast?"


"I don't know, I used up alot of my anger against
Malachite."
	Ranma thought hard.  He had to get Ryoga angry, and quickly.  The scouts
weren't going to keep this up much longer.  "Ryoga, I kissed Akane today!" he
bragged. 
"What!  I don't believe you," shouted Ryoga.


"Why don't you ask her?  Her mouth was pretty dry
though, and her tongue... I would've got more action out of a popsicle stick
than I did from her tongue," teased Ranma. 
"How dare you say that!  How dare you kiss her!  I'm
going to kill you Ranma!" roared Ryoga as he built up his chi blast.
	"There you go Ryoga, just hold that blast for a second,
and don't worry, I was only giving her CPR," lied Ranma.  He then began
building up his own chi.  "If we pump our own chi at Sailor Moon, she should
be able to rechannel it like she has all the other energy through that
crystal of hers.  At least I hope so," yelled Ranma.  "We could end up
killing her if she doesn't absorb it."
"Full Mouko Takabisha!" shouted Ranma as he unleashed
his chi blast at Sailor Moon.
"Full Shi Chi Hokodan!" shouted Ryoga as he did the
same.
	Instead of a ball, their blast streaked into a beam as it merged with the
energy surrounding Sailor Moon.  They both concentrated hard to keep the
blast going.
	"What are they doing?" wondered Akane.
	Sweat was dripping off everyone's head, but the renewed energy had given
Serena all that she had needed.  She opened her eyes, and loudly cried "Moon
Crystal Power!" as the energy directed to Happosai swelled and crashed right
into him.
"Arghhhh!" Happosai yelped as the energy began to
consume him.  The beam practically ate him.
	Energy exploded from the place Happosai was at as a spirit flew out of him.
 "Free!  Free from him at last!" the negaverse creature shouted before he was
enveloped by the blast from Sailor Moon.  The beam quickly discharged. 
Sailor Moon immediately collapsed into Tux's arms.  The
other scouts, Ranma, and Ryoga all fell to their hands and knees.  The
unconscious body of Happosai laid on the ground, motionless.
	"We... we did it," exasperated Sailor Moon.
	"Ranma, Ranma, are you alright," cried Akane as she quickly rushed to his
side to help him up.  "Ranma, we did it!  We did it!" she said as she began
hugging him. 
"What's this 'we' stuff?  I did it," chided Ranma. Ryoga looked on, and felt
his heart bleed.  A coldness
began to grip his entire body.  He began to feel out of place, and for once,
wanted to be lost as quickly as possible.
Before he got away, Akane shouted after him.  "Ryoga,
we owe it all to you.  First you saved Ukyou and that ingrate Ranma, and then
you save all of us," thanked Akane. "We'd all be dead if it wasn't for you."
	Ryoga started to blush real hard.  "Hehehe," he laughed nervously.  "It was
nothing, I would've gone through worse to protect you," he stammered out.
 "She's right," he thought.  "I did save the day didn't I?"  His confidence
was returning.  "Of course, none of this mess would've happened if it wasn't
for Ranma!" he shouted.


	"Exactly," agreed Akane.
	"What?  When did this become my fault?  You want to take this outside
P-Chan!"
"Who you calling P-Chan," roared back Ryoga. 
Before they started swinging fists again, Ukyou got
between the both of them.  "Whatever the conflicts we have in the past, we
should put off today.  We just saved the universe guys, let's try to enjoy
it," she said.  She then turned to Ranma and wrapped her arms around him.
 "Ranchan! I haven't thanked you yet for saving me!  And you were willing to
give in to that meanie Malachite all for me!" 
"Hey, I thought I saved you from... Oh, never mind,"
muttered Ryoga.
	Seeing Ukyou wrapped around Ranma, Akane became jealous again.  She grabbed
Ryoga.  "And thanks for saving me from Malachite," gushed Akane.
	"Hehe, think nothing of it," stammered out a completely red Ryoga.
While Ukyou and Ryoga were enjoying themselves, Ranma
and Akane stared at each other with evil looks.
	"Shampoo, about what happened in the cave, were we really going to...,"
started Mousse but Shampoo had thrown him against the wall as she ran to
Ranma.
	"Ranma!  Shampoo so happy we save world," she prattled as she pushed Ukyou
out of the way and began hugging Ranma. 
"Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing!"
screamed back Ukyou.
	"Ranma you fiend, get your hands off my Shampoo!" screamed Mousse as he
leaped at Ranma.  "I now know Shampoo loves me!  She was going to..." he
tries to say but Shampoo had kicked him in the face.
	"Mousse better never tell anyone what happen.  Mousse just delirious and
imagine whole thing!" ordered Shampoo. 
Before they knew it, Ranma, Akane, Mousse, Shampoo,
Ukyou, and Ryoga were in a dog pile beating up on one another.
"I guess everything's back to normal, huh Saotome,"
commented Soun.
	"Uh-huh," grumbled back Mr. Panda.
"My shining star!  The forces of evil have confronted
the might of Tatewaki Kuno, and trembled before I fell it," babbled Kuno.
 "No forces can withstand the blue thunder and the blue haired beauty!
 Perhaps a kiss may be in order to..." but Kuno doesn't finish his sentence
as Jupiter punts him away.
	"Damn that guys annoying," Jupiter says.
"Oh, I don't know.  He's not really that bad.  Even a
little gallant," Mercury gushes.
The other scouts just stare at her in disbelief. "What?  If you get to know
him better, he's not that
bad."
"Hey guys, where'd Beryl go," notices Jupiter.
"She must have run away in the middle of the battle,"
answers Venus.  "Do we go after her now?"
	"I think everyone's a little to beat up to fight anymore," says Tux.
 "Mercury can you get us out of here?" 
Mercury brings out her computer and starts punching
some buttons.  "We're in luck.  I've found a dimensional flux right here in
this room.  Probably due to all the teleporting in and out of here by Beryl's
troops.  Anyways, if I can find the right logarithm, I should be able to
manipulate it... there!" she says proudly as a portal was beginning to open
right in front of them.  "Our ticket home."
"Okay everyone, time to go home," Jupiter told
everyone.
The Ranma crew, now bruised and beaten, stops their
fighting and walks over to the portal.
	"Rei, I guess we didn't have a chance to talk yet," Tux says to her.
	Serena felt like dying when he said that.
	"No, Tuxedo Mask, I guess we didn't," blushed Rei.  Now that she knew about
Serena and him, she didn't feel right about this anymore.  "Tuxedo Mask, I
can't..."
"I can't see you anymore," Tux said at the same time.
	Sailor Moon felt her heart rise at this.
"I... Christ, I don't believe it myself... but I... I
feel right with Serena,"
 he says as he grabs a hold of her hand.
	Rei should be relieved, but began to feel upset. "You're dumping me?  I was
going to dump you!" shouted back Rei.
	"I know it's hard to accept," soothed Tux.


	"Hard to accept?  Why you egotistical..."
	"Tuxedo Mask, Darian, do you mean it," asked Serena as she looked at him
with puppy dog eyes.
	"Serena, I don't know what happened in the past, but I do know that right
now, I love you."
Serena moved to kiss him at the sound of these words,
but a blast of energy interfered as everyone shielded themselves, and planted
their feet.
Beryl was seen bowing on her knees next to a gigantic
shadow figure.  "Beryl, you were pathetic.  Due to your incompetence, the
whole negaverse nearly went down the toilet!" the voice thundered.  "At least
I'll take care of these pests once and for all!"
"It's her!  That's the shadow thing we fought!"
exclaimed Soun as he pointed at it.
	"What the hell is it," questioned Venus.
"I am the ruler of the negaverse.  I am what you call
the negaforce that empowers these plebeians.  I am Queen Metallia.  I have
been imprisoned by the moon crystal, and can only extend a small portion of
my true power in this form.  But it shall be more than adequate to deal with
the likes of you!" she screams as begins to enwrap everyone with her shadow
tendrils.
Out of nowhere, the tendrils are cut by a small blur.
	"Nobody takes over my body without my damned permission," roared Happosai.
 "Due to your stupid demon, I committed the greatest crime of all.  I snapped
that poor girls bra," sobbed Happosai.  "And you're keeping my Queenie
captive.  Don't worry Queenie, I'll free you!" he shouts as he leaps at
Metallia.
"AHHH!  Keep him away from me!" screamed Beryl as she
cowered behind Metallia.
	"You are truly incompetent," Metallia denounced.  With a swipe of her
tendril, she knocks Happosai into the portal. He disappears.
	Everyone prepares to fight, but Tux suddenly steps in front of everyone.
 "We don't have enough power to defeat her.  We're all exhausted.  All of
you, go!  I'll hold her off while you get away."
"No Tux, we can't leave you!" cries Sailor Moon. "That's not our only
problem, a quantum shift is
occurring, and I can't keep this portal open much longer!" shouts Mercury.
	"NO!  I'm not going to lose him again," screams Sailor Moon as she runs to
his side.  She's stopped when Jupiter pulls her arm.
	"Sailor Moon, we can't," she implores.  "I know what you're feeling, but we
can't.  I promise you, we'll come back and get him as soon as possible."
"You go too Akane, I'm going to help him," orders
Ranma.
	"The hell you are!" she screams back.
	"There's no time to argue," shouts Ranma.
	"You're right, there isn't time," yells Ukyou.  Shampoo and Ukyou grab both
of Ranma's arms before he can do anything and is dragged into the portal by
them.
	"Ranma, what are you doing with them!' shouts Akane as she leaps in after
them.
Genma jumps in too, while Soun remarks "Courageous
Tuxedo man, his sacrifice will be remembered."
"Tuxedo Mask!" screams Sailor Moon as Jupiter, Mars,
and Venus begin dragging her away.
	"The portal is closing," screams Mercury.
	The huge figure of Metallia was hovering right in front of him  Swirls of
black energy were ready to engulf him at any moment.
	Tux turns around, and with a certain contentness in his
eyes, tells Sailor Moon, "Don't worry, I'll be fine.  I promise you, I'll
jump in right after you.  We'll be together no matter what.  I'll come back
my love," he tells her.  "Now go!"
"Tuxedo Mask," weeps Sailor Moon as she's pulled into
the portal by Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury.
Mars turns around before she jumps in.  "I'm sorry,"
she apologizes before she goes in herself.
	"Don't be," Tux says as the portal closes right behind her.
	"It's just you and me now," Tux says as he turns around to confront
Metallia.
	"Indeed," Metallia says before her shadows swallow him whole.
Epilogue: A Sequel Ending?  Naaaa
      Serena stares in disappear as the portal closes up without Tuxedo Mask.
"You lied.  Damnit, you lied," cried Serena.  "You promised me, but you
lied."  She couldn't believe he was gone again.  After all they had just went
through, after he told her he loved her!  After this whole mess, they ended
back on square one.  Another minute and everyone would've been home free.
 Instead, now she had to try to keep her sanity from being overwhelmed by all
the shit that's happening.
	"I'm sorry Sailor Moon," Mars gently said.  The rest of the scouts offer
their condolences and tries to cheer her up as well.
"Don't worry Sailor Moon, we'll get Tuxedo Mask back
before you know it," declared Jupiter.
	Luna and Artemis had noticed the scouts were back. They ran over there
surprised by Sailor Moon's state.  Her sobbing wasn't too big of a deal.  But
she wasn't sobbing, she was really crying.
"What happened?  And where's Tuxedo Mask?" asked Luna
before she realized that was what the problem was.  "Sailor Moon, I'm sorry,"
she said softly.

	"Kasumi," sobbed Soun as he began hugging her. "Kasumi, you've grown so much
since I've been gone."
"Oh father, it's only been some hours.  I've left
dinner in the refrigerator," Kasumi says as friendly as ever.
	"So, bring me back anything?" asked Nabiki.

	Ranma walked over to Sailor Moon and said "I don't plan on leaving your
friend there.  When you guys are ready to go back, I want to go too."
"Thanks Ranma," thanked Sailor Moon.  "We'll *sniff*
need all the help we can get."
"Ranma darling!  You've come back to me my love,"
Kodachi cried as she hugged Ranma.
"Ranma, what are you doing!" shouted Akane as she
slugged him.
	Sailor Moon looked at Ranma wide eyed.  "I think he has his hands already
full," she thought.

      "Yes great grandmother, we go fight in negaplace, but Ranma save us
all," Shampoo explained to Cologne.  After Shampoo and Mousse didn't show up
for work the whole afternoon, she went to the Tendo's (if anything's wrong,
it involved them) and had waited for Shampoo to return there. 
"I've heard of this place, but always thought of it as
lore.  So they thought old Happy would make a good soldier did they?  Guess
they weren't as wise as the legends say," she remarks.
	"Shampoo, you can't just deny what almost happened in the cave...," Mousse
starts to say before Shampoo throws a bucket of cold water at him.  "Quack,
quack!"
"What was he babbling about," inquired Cologne. "Mousse just have pervert
dream again," Shampoo lied. "Did he really?," Cologne stated with doubt in
her
voice.


	"Ranma!  You saved me from that big, bad place," gushed Ukyou as she moved
in to hug Ranma.  Before she gets there, a stone statue jumps into her arms.
 Tsubasa's head, arms, and legs pop out of there.
	"Ukyou!  I missed you so much!  If I get my hands on the creep that
kidnapped you...," Tsubasa says before Ukyou had thrown her miles away with
her spatula.
	"My blue haired goddess, please do not leave me.  I offer you residence in
my grand mansion.  Together, we shall live there together until we have
reached the ripe age to tie our bonds legally!" pleaded Kuno.
	"I'm sorry Kuno, but I have to go home.  My parents are probably very
worried by now, and I have homework to do," Mercury says as she pulls herself
away from Kuno.
	"Fine then, it is settled.  I shall move to where you live then.  My immense
fortune should make buying a loft in the area less than a problem."
	"NO!" Mercury screamed before she calmed herself down. "No, that isn't
necessary.  I gave you my phone number already, we can go out sometime when
I'm not too busy with school or scout business."
      "But how shall I survive without you?  Alas, it would
be like depriving the rain from the rain forest, the cream from a twinkie, it
just cannot be!" shouted Kuno as he grabbed her in his arms again.
	"But Kuno, if you leave, won't you miss Akane and your pig-tailed girl,"
Mercury asked anxiously.  She was preparing her "Mercury Ice Storm Blast" if
this didn't work. 
"You are right my love.  Oh, how kind you are to be
able to accept my love for the other girls as well.  You truly are deserving
of my affections," weeped Kuno.  "I cannot part from my other loves, nor
shall I be able to part with you.  You shall always carry a piece of Tatewaki
Kuno with you whether I am with you in person or in spirit," sobbed Kuno as
he fell to his knees in tears.
       "God, I hope I don't regret this," thought Mercury.  She crouched
down, and suddenly kissed Kuno on the cheek. "OH MY GOD!" everyone exclaimed
as their mouths all dropped.
	Kuno's nose started bleeding, before he fainted and hit the ground.
       "If was just a friendly peck!" defended Mercury. Nabiki was already
rushing off to the photo developer.  "Kuno will pay a fortune for that
picture," she tells herself.

      "I guess this is where we say good-bye," Venus said.
Shampoo and Jupiter shacked hands again, and both
punched Mousse when he started grabbing Jupiter.
"If you ever want the best ukynomiyaki in Japan, just
drop by," Ukyou said to Venus as she shook she shook her hand.
"I think I've been traumatized by it, so no thank you." "If I see you by my
Ranma again, you won't get off so
lucky next time," warned Kodachi to Mars.
"Lucky?  I whipped your tail!" shouted back Mars.
	Genma held up a sign that said "Don't forget to write."
"I'm sorry about what happened to Tuxedo Mask," Akane
said to Sailor Moon.
	"Just remember, we're all by your side when you go get him back," Ranma
said.
"Oregato," sniffed Sailor Moon.  "I'll keep it in
mind."
"You gotta what?" a sign held up by Genma read. Everybody else said their
final good bye's, and then
the scouts went on their way.  It was pretty late at night now, so the
parents of Serena, Amy, and Rei were probably worried sick.  Venus and
Jupiter were just pooped and couldn't wait to get home and sleep.  Both of
them needed to ice down some bruises.
	"Sailor Moon," Artemis said to her.  "You realize that we really shouldn't
and can't bring them back to the negaverse with us."
	Sailor Moon sniffed hard again, she was finally regaining control of
herself.  "I know Artemis, it isn't their concern.  If anyone is going to
bring the negaverse down, it's going to me the scouts and the scouts alone." 
She turned around one last time and saw clouds of dust
with figures inside it beating up on each other.  She couldn't help but
chuckle.
"Uh, guys, does anyone remember where the bus stop
was?" Sailor Moon asked.

	Beryl was standing next to a capsule containing Darian. They were
brainwashing him.  Again.  For the third time.  In the same room was
Malachite, kneeling before Beryl. 
Metallia had managed to drain the water out of the
negaverse, but accomplishing this had drained her.  She could no longer
extend her figure outside of her prison. But she gave a good remonstrance to
Beryl before she did. 
"Malachite, what should I do for your traitorous
behavior?  Did you really think you could use Happosai for your own purposes
to control the world?" she yelled at him. 
"But my Queen, I held him from you only to protect you.
I was not quite sure he could be controlled, and wanted to prevent him from
harming you.  Sadly, my fear was warranted as he did indeed break loose and
cause havoc for us all," Malachite slyly lied.
"Is that so?" she replied.  "You're lucky we suffered
such great losses recently, or I would have your hide on my wall by now.  For
now, you are granted a pardon.  Now get out of my face before I decide to
kill you," she barked. 
"Many thanks my Queen," Malachite bowed as he
disappeared.  "I will get all those kids if it kills me," seethed Malachite
to himself.
Beryl then turns back to Darian.  "Hopefully, this'll
be the last time we need to do this."  She then remembered something.  "I
wondered whatever happened to Jeddite?"

	Somewhere in the Antarctic Ocean, the block of ice containing Jeddite was
drifting aimlessly, perhaps forever.

	When the bus had finally arrived at Rei's temple, Serena picked her bag back
up.  She noticed how heavy it was, more than it should be.  She didn't notice
it when she first got on the bus.  It wasn't Luna because she was sitting
right next to her.
"Lita?  Lift my bag real quickly," requested Serena. Lita actually had to put
some back into it.  "Damn
Serena, what do you have in here?" she asked.
"Let's find out," she said as she unzipped the bag. "My dearies, are we home
yet!" Happosai yelled as he
attached himself to Serena.
	"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

	Neo-Queen Serenity sighed hard.  For some reason or another, she had just
remembered the escapade she had way back in her early days as a sailor scout,
and had to fight this weird perverted old freak.  She thought it was ironic
that if it weren't for him, she never would've become such good friends with
Ranma, Akane, and the rest of them.
	Her heart still hurt from what happened to Ranma, and how the energetic
Akane became almost lifeless after it. She sometimes thought Akane would have
ended her life right then and there if it she didn't have a daughter.
	And then she realized what she needed to do.  Another villain had attempted
to go back in time.  Only this time, they weren't trying to alter history so
much as they were 
trying to steal a weapon of the past to bring to the future. The scouts had
barely prevailed the original time they faced this crisis.  They would
certainly be overwhelmed having to face Malevolence as well.
	She would send Rini to the past to help the scouts again.  And maybe, she
would send another daughter to the past as well this time to help combat the
threat.
	With a wave of her hand, a girl appeared before her in a flash of light.
 The slender girl had black hair and a long pig-tail that trailed down to her
hips.  She was fairly tall, nearly six feet, and extremely beautiful.  Her
tight red uniform only enhanced her beauty.  One would assume she was no
older than twenty.
"Ranko Saotome, I have a mission for you," Serenity told her.

I'm going to get this out of the way now, e-mail all comments to
chihokodan@aol.com or schi@uci.edu.  And don't think your mail doesn't mean
anything.  Even flames. 
*Authors Note:  I have to give many thanks to my pal, Irene Shih, for reading
everything before I put it out, telling me how stupid some of my ideas were,
even though I didn't listen to her.  
Fine, I lied on three accounts.  I did bring back Ryoga, even though I didn't
plan to.  I reached that point in the story and I got stuck.  And there was
another chapter added to this story, but I wasn't unhappy with the length.
 And it was a sequel ending.  However, I don't know if I'm going to write it
just yet.  IF I have enough positive support for this fanfic, then I'll write
it (If you write, it will come).  Yes, that means e-mail your comments to me
if you want to see a sequel!  Tell your friends!  I have plotted out the
sequel already, but it'll have to wait until after Prom Night and the next
big x-over.  Speaking of which, I've got the first chapter of Prom Night
done, but I won't post it for a couple of weeks.  I usually go back and
change things after I get a quarter of the way through. But, if anyone really
wants to see my draft, just e-mail me and I'll send it to you ON THE
CONDITION you give me some feedback on it.  I don't have a x-over gimmick to
rely on with that one, so I need to know how good my story telling is going
to be.  I even had to draw on something from this fanfic into the story.
 Also, I've just finished plotting my Tenchi Muyo/El Hazard/Fushigi Yuugi
story, and I'm really happy with the story.  The only thing I am worried
about is the fact El Hazard is not that well known, and Fushigi Yuugi isn't
even domestically released.  Not to mention all the eps I've seen of the
three don't even equal the number of eps I've seen for Ranma.  I'd like to
know what people think of this idea.  I also have a one-shot called Kuno vs.
Moon Light Night: Battle of the Bad Poetry, but only if I finish Prom Night
ahead of schedule.  One more thing, I do have a fanfic I started before this
one.  It was a Sailor Moon epic that I didn't finish because if I tried, I
wouldn't write another fanfic for a year.  It's big, but tells a solid
story.  The only concern about that one is I wrote it in a novel type format.
 That means I go through the trouble of explaining things that SM fans
already know.  Thus, the story might drag a little for those familiar with SM
in the beginning.  But if you thought this story was long but evolved a good
plot, that one would be an even greater adventure.  If anyone wants to first
10 pgs., request it when you e-mail me.  Wow, I still can't believe I've
finished this monstrosity.  But 72 pages later it's done.  I thought I
couldn't wait to get it over with, and now I'm going to miss it.  The sequel
will be a completely different story.  But change is for the better I guess.
 I guess this is it, until next time,
Jya Ne!

**: One more thing.  I just want to give a shout out to the fanfic author
Mark Latus, because reading his fanfics (Ryoga Crossover, subsequent sequels)
is what got me into fanfics in the first place.  Anyone who liked my stuff
would love his.  His pacing, plotting, and humor are levels ahead of mine.  I
can't wait for Ryoga: Future Shock.
