Sailor Moon Reunion War
______________________________________________________________
My story is set for after the story "Thy Inward Love" but is not really tied into
the it and it does not follow what Richard Lawson has wrote so far for Ranma
and crew but consider this a split or a alternate time line now. It is mainly a Sailor
Moon fic that I thought would be interesting. The way this fic goes the
following people are related: (See SMRW notes on Relations)

Now on with the show...
=======================================================
Prelude:
The Wedding
(excerpted from Richard Lawson's "Thy Inward Love")
[*READ THE INWARD LOVE BEFORE
CONTINUING ON WITH MY STORY!!!!*]
<Sorry Mr. Lawson (I don't know ya well enough to call you
by your fist name) for borrowing the following part of my story>
Ranma fidgeted in his tuxedo. Somehow, the fact that he had
put it on himself made it more uncomfortable.
He couldn't believe he was doing this. He could not believe
he was about to go through with it. He must be mad. This had
to be the result of some mad plot on someone else's part. He
looked around. It would easy to run across the sand, lose
himself in the beach houses....
"Relax, Ranma." Ryoga put his hand on Ranma's shoulder.
"It'll be over in a little bit." He paused, and a twinkle of
amusement entered his eyes. "You know, Ranma, I wanted to take
my revenge on you by beating you up. Seeing you suffer like
this is much more satisfying."
Ranma glared at him. 'Best man' indeed. More like the guy who
poured salt into an open wound. He could use a good chi-attack.
Ranma didn't feel up to a Moko Takabisha. A Hiryu Shoten Ha
would cause too much damage. Maybe a simple Kachu Tenshin
Amiguriken; he hadn't done one of those in a while.
There was a sudden rustle, the sound of everyone turning in
their seats at once. Ryoga looked down the aisle and his
eyes got big.
Ranma slowly turned, somewhat afraid of what he was going to see.
Akane was absolutely radiant. She had on another western-style
wedding dress. This one had many more frills and a long trail.
The lace seemed to positively glow in the sunlight.
What made her more beautiful, though, was her face. She had
on the biggest smile he had ever seen from her, at the same
time close to tears. Her eyes were big, and they were fixed
on Ranma. He swallowed. He never wanted her eyes to leave him.
He wasn't sure if her father was supporting her, or she him.
Probably a bit of both, Ranma decided. Her father released Akane
at the head of the aisle, to practically collapse into a chair
next to Ranma's mother and father. He didn't seem up to standing
through the ceremony.
Ranma turned his attention back to Akane. She wasn't smiling
anymore, just looking at his face with a solemn, slightly
frightened look on her face. She was breathing rapidly, and
seemed about to faint. He gave her what he hoped was a
reassuring smile, although it felt weak on his lips. She also
gave him a weak smile. Ranma almost laughed; she was probably
trying to reassure him as well.
They both turned to the court official Ranma's mother had
hired for the occasion, a nondescript man with dark hair and
glasses. He was smiling too, with more strength. He nodded at
them, then began.
"Ranma and Akane have agreed to marry each other, and give
each other happiness and love. They enter into a lifelong
partnership, where each submerges their will into the greater
whole of their unity. For they are no longer separate identities,
but rather, each is one part of the two lives entwined, finding
strength together, peace together, love together. Let them not
be thought of as merely individuals, but each one-half of the
total sum of their spirits.
"In as much as Akane and Ranma have consented on paper to be
man and wife, I must now ask them to give this consent aloud,
for a contract of marriage is the one contract in which the
promises of heart and mouth must supersede those of brain,
and ink, and paper.
"Think not that this is an easy thing, this exchanging of
vows, or one to be taken lightly. Each of these young people
is taking an oath, which binds their honor and the honor of
their families to their words. When a person takes such an
oath, that person cradles their own soul in their hands.
"And so, Akane and Ranma, I charge you now: If you don't
intend for these vows to bind you, release each other from
the pledges you've made until now, and me from my promise
to wed you, for I shall not do so willingly should this be
the case.
"Indeed, should any witness to this ceremony know a reason why
the oaths taken today shall not be kept, and kept sincerely,
speak now, or ratify this marriage with your silence."
Ranma couldn't help but look around. Shampoo was holding
Mousse's hand very tightly, and seemed about to cry, but she
didn't look like she had anything to say. Tatewaki was sitting
next to Nabiki, looking very stern, but also strangely content.
Ukyo was sitting by herself, and she *was* crying, but she met
Ranma's gaze with a brave smile and a nod.
Ranma looked at Ryoga, who raised an eyebrow and indicated
with a movement of his head that Ranma should pay attention
to the ceremony. Relieved, Ranma looked forward once more.
"Do you two swear and affirm that you stand here of your own
will, free of external compulsions, to be wed by me before
these loved ones, and that you willingly exchange the vows you
are about to take?" Ranma and Akane both murmured agreement.
Ranma couldn't help but wonder what would have happened at this
point if Mother had carried out her original plan.
"Good. Take each other's hand, and look at each other."
Akane shyly offered her hand. Ranma placed it in his own.
They looked at each other. Ranma felt the outside world melt
away. The only thing that existed at all was the woman in
front of him. His doubts, hesitations, and fears vanished in
her eyes. He smiled, confident, assured, knowing that this was
good and right. Akane smiled at him too, also seeming less
afraid. The love they felt seemed almost a physical thing,
saturating the air between them.
Words seemed to float in from somewhere. Ranma didn't much
care about where they came from, but he listened to them
nonetheless.
"Ranma, repeat after me..." Ranma did, putting his love into
the words.
"I, Saotome Ranma, accept you, Tendo Akane, as my one true
wife..." he almost stumbled over the word, but kept going,
"...and will love and honor you and you alone in this fashion,
and will serve you and you alone with every last breath as
lover, provider, and shield, and not forsake you, no matter
how the winds may blow, for as long as we two shall live."
The words from outside were now directed at Akane. She
echoed the words, her expression serious, her voice quiet
but firm, her eyes wide, her hand steady as it held his. "I,
Tendo Akane, accept you, Saotome Ranma, as my one true husband,
and will love and honor you and you alone in this fashion,
and will serve you and you alone with every last breath as
lover, provider, and shield, and not forsake you, no matter
how the winds may blow, for as long as we two shall live."
The world grew a little, and now Ranma could see the court
administrator as he continued the ceremony.
"Do you have the rings?" Ryoga handed Ranma two gold bands.
One had a small diamond in its center, beautiful still in
its simplicity. Ranma gave the plain one to Akane, and put
the other on her finger. She took his hand and put his ring
on his finger. It felt like cold fire on his skin, burning
the knowledge of his marriage into him.
"So be it. You two have, this day, demonstrated your
complete and total faith in each other. By virtue of the
powers vested in me, I now declare you one soul, husband
and wife, lawfully joined."
The court administrator smiled again. "You may, at your
convenience, kiss the bride."
Ranma fought to keep his hands from shaking as he lifted his
wife's veil. She was looking at him, eager, loving. They
kissed, and the sound of cheering buoyed them as they lost
themselves in each other.
Chapter One:
Good-by Home
Several Days has passed since the wedding and it has been a peaceful day so
far with non of the usual antics of some of the districts most famous residents
fighting and yelling at and with each other. Well it was a nice, calm, peaceful day,
but that was not going to last... Ranma Saotome is talking on the phone with his
parents. "You want me to do WHAT?"
"You heard me, Ranma. You're aunt in Osaka is worried about her
daughter, and she wants you to take and visit and look out for her," replied
Genma over the phone.
"But pop, what about Akane? Do you know what she's going to say
about all this."
"Just take her with you. Your aunt is expecting you and her..."
Nodoka interrupts Genma and takes over the phone. "After all we don't
want you to be separated when Serena is now Akane's cousin."
"Fine, but let me talk to Akane first and tell her whats going on and I'll
call you back. Bye mom and pop," replies Ranma.
Ranma hangs up the phone and walks out to the Dojo. Inside is Akane
working out on her kata. Ranma walks up to her and puts his arms around her
and kisses her on the back on the neck.
"Mmm. So what did your parents call you about, Ranma?"
"My cousin... My aunt in Osaka wants me to come down and keep an
eye on and keep my cousin, Serena, out of trouble. My aunt is also expecting
you as well," replies Ranma.
Akane looks a little upset about the news but cheers up when she hears
that she's been invited as well. "So when do have to leave?"
Ranma looks into Akane's eyes. "As soon as you want to, I guess."
Akane walks over to the wall and grabs her towel and begins to wipe
the sweat off of herself. "Then you better call you folks back and tell them that
we'll be leaving tomorrow. By the way how long are we going to be gone
for?"
Ranma walks up and takes her towel and proceeds to wipe the sweat
off of her, himself. "Well... about a... year."
Akane looks shocked about this revelation. "A YEAR!"
Ranma finishes his task and leaves to call his parents back while Akane
remains in the Dojo completely shocked. Little do Ranma and Akane know
that this trip will change their lives FOREVER...
Chapter Two:
Meetings, Greetings and Remembrance
One board a train destined for the Osaka district sits Ranma and Akane,
with Akane still looking a little upset and Ranma looking a little depressed.
Ranma turns to Akane. "Look, I'm sorry, Akane? It's just that their
family and you know how I feel when family is involved."
Akane relinquishes and looks back at Ranma. "You still should have
told me how long we'd be gone for." Akane sighs and turns to look out the
window.
Ranma wraps a arm around Akane whispers into her ear. "Besides I just
got this bad feeling that this won't be just a simple visit."
Akane is still looking out the window. "Just promise me that you
won't start any trouble while we're there and I'll do my best to stay cool, ok."
"I promise."
*******************
Meanwhile at the Osaka train station a girl, with blond hair with two
ponytails with the tops in a sphere shape, is yelling out and running as if she's
late for an important appointment. "AAAHHH... I'm late."
Another girl with short blue hair interrupts her. "Late for what, Serena?
"I'm Late to meet my cousin at the train station, Amy!"
Amy looks at Serena. "Umm... Serena didn't you know that you're
already at the train station? Besides you're not late, in fact you're early cause the
train hasn't yet arrived."
Serena looks confused. "I'm early? How can that be? My watch says
that I'm 30 minutes late."
Amy takes a glance at her watch. "No Serena, in fact you're actually 2
minutes early."
They are interrupted by another girl with long dark hair. "Well I'll be...
Meatball head is early for once in her life I see."
Serena looks like she's about to explode. "How many times do I have
to tell you, Pyro..., not to call me MEATBALL HEAD! Only Darien can call me
Meatball Head!"
Rei covers her ears from Mt. Serena as she explodes. "Ok, ok. Geeze
cool down will ya. And tone down the disables as well."
Amy interrupts the two because she knows what that it's best to avoid
so much attention that they were getting by the crowd. "Hey look, there's Lita
and Mina up a head."
Serena's attention is quickly redirected to a brunette with a ponytail and
a blond with her hair in a red ribbon. "Hey guys. What brings you here."
Lita looks at Mina. "Looks like you lose this one, Mina."
Mina looks a little upset but turns her attention towards Serena, Amy,
and Rei walking up to them. "Oh, hey guys. We're hear to see what this
cousin of yours looks like. Do you know what he looks like Serena?"
Serena looks a little down at the question. "Not a clue, but I'm told that
he's got a picture of me so he'll know who to look for. All I know is that he's
an extremely excellent martial artist and he's bringing along some girl with him,
although I can't remember who she is, and he's supposed to have some sort of
curse."
Rei suddenly looks over at Serena. "Do you say that he's cursed?"
Serena nods and looks confused. "I'm told that he's got some strange
curse that came from China, why?"
"Never mind. I'll just talk to grandpa about this cause he knows more
about curses and cures."
Lita takes this opportunity to get a surprised look. "He's a martial
artist? What does he do, Serena?"
Serena taps her head as she concentrates. "Its supposed to be a rare
form of martial arts, I just can't remember what though. He's capable to win
any fight he's gotten into, or so my mom says."
Lita defiantly looks interested in Serena's cousin now. "Wow, he
sounds like a hunk. I've defiantly gotta meet this guy."
Amy interrupts the conversation and points off down the tracks. "Well
here's his train now, I think."
The five girls watch as the train pulls into the station unaware that they
are being watched by four sets of eyes.
*******************
What appears to be a guy with short, dirt blond hair looks over at *his*
companions, a girl with aqua-blue hair and a girl with short dark hair and a girl
with dark green hair are watching the scouts.
The guy looks over at the girl with green hair. "Tell me again, why
we're watching the inner scouts, Susan."
Susan looks back at the guy. "Because Alex, it is important that we be
here and look after them. Helen, Michelle are you two prepared to do what
needs to be done."
Helen looks a little nervous. "But why do we have to do this Susan, I
mean their lives don't need to be flipped upside down."
Susan gives Helen a despairing look. "I know but Queen Serenity told
us that they need to remember everything about their past and about Ranma,
Akane and their families of the past."
"I still think it's too soon for this Susan," replies Michelle.
"Very well we shall wait until the five meet them." concedes Susan.
*******************
The train doors open up and out steps Ranma and Akane. Both of
them are looking all over the terminal for Serena.
"Let me see that picture again, Ranma."
Ranma hands Akane a picture of Serena in a group shot with her
friends. Akane looks at the picture then up at a group of girls that are near the
wall of the station.
"Look over there Ranma. I think that's her over there. Strange but I
could swear that I've seen her somewhere before, but I can't remember where
though."
Ranma looks over to where Akane's pointing. "Well lets go over and
say hi then."
Ranma and Akane walk over to where Serena and the scouts are
standing.
*******************
Rei suddenly tenses up and everyone looks at her.
Serena is the first to speak up. "Hey Rei you alright? Its as if you've
seen a ghost or something."
"No, it's just that I feel very powerful force and its coming right at us.
In fact it's coming from those two over there." Rei points towards Ranma and
Akane.
*******************
"Ranma, why is that girl pointing at us?" asks Akane.
"I don't know but she seems to be a friend of Serena's. So I guess that
we should take and ask her why." replies Ranma.
Ranma and Akane walk over to where the scouts are standing watching
the two approach.
*******************
"Don't look now guys but they're coming this way." says Mina.
*******************
Ranma walks right up to Serena. "Umm... Serena, hi I'm Ranma. I
believe you're expecting me and Akane."
Serena looks confused. "Oh, Umm, yeah that's right. But, Umm, who's
Akane?"
"I'm Akane," Akane introduces herself, "I'm this idiots wife.
The scouts all look at her in complete surprise. "His WHAT?"
Ranma looks a little embarrassed about their reactions. "Yeah, well
you see we got married over the summer."
Akane elbows him in the gut. "Can we go some wear to talk in
private? I believe that there are some things that you need to know about him
but it's a little private."
Rei speaks up. "We can go over to my place. Its on the way to
Serena's home any ways."
The group leaves the station and walks off to the Hikawa Shrine like
Rei proposed to everyone.
*******************
After about a 15 minute walk they arrive at the shrine. Upon entering
the shrine they are greeted by Grandpa.
"Grandpa, I'm back," shouts Rei.
"Welcome home, Rei. Oh who are your two new friends here?"
ask Grandpa.
Ranma walks up to the old man and sticks his hand out and greets
him. "Hi, I'm Serena's cousin, Ranma Saotome and this is my wife
Akane."
Grandpa looks shocked. "Wife!?! But you look only about 17
years old." Then Grandpa looks at Ranma a little strangely. "Are you
cursed by the way?"
Ranma is taken back in total shock. "H... h... how did you know
about that?"
"Well, you are radiating some sort of bad karma emanating from
yourself." replies Grandpa.
"I guess I should tell you about myself and what I've been
through." Ranma takes a deep breath and proceeds to tell them when he
left home a the age of 5, meeting Ukyuo at the age of 6, training in Cat-fu
at 10, his fatal trip to Jyusenkyo at 16, meeting Shampoo and having her
hunting him down, meeting Akane about a month later, his accidental
bathroom meeting with Akane. In which everyone looked a little surprised
about and Akane gets a little mad at Ranma for telling them that. Ranma
continues to tell them of all of his fights ad rescue missions to save Akane,
revealing his curse to his mother, the first try to get married to Akane, his
individual encounters with all his other would-be sutures, the trip to the
beach and finally getting married to Akane.
Meanwhile the Scouts and Grandpa looks at Ranma in complete
shock.
Rei was the first to break the silence. "You can't be serious. I
mean turning into a girl and acting completely like a cat after being exposed
to cats for an extend period of time.
"I wouldn't be to sure of the Rei."
"What do you mean, Grandpa? It's completely impossible." replies
Rei.
"Believe me Rei, he speaks the truth about Jyusenkyo and Cat-fu.
Both are, lets say, a complete no." replies Grandpa. "Well I suspect
that you got some catching up to do with you're cousin so I'll leave all of
you alone so you can discus it."
"Thanks Grandpa." replies Serena.
As soon as Grandpa leaves the scouts start asking Ranma and
Akane hundreds of questions.
*******************
As the Scouts grill Ranma and Akane, 5 guys are walking close to
the temple. Each of the guys are wearing black trench coats of various
lengths.
"Does anyone know exactly where we are going to in the first
place. I mean we didn't exactly come to Japan just to wonder around for
no reason, Scotty." says Jarred.
"I don't know either, but I'm getting tired of walking all this
distance. Lets go up there and see if we can get some rest." Scott says as
he points up towards the Hikawa Shrine.
*******************
"Look Alex, it's them." Michelle points towards the 5 in trenches.
"You right, Michelle. Let's go get Susan and Helen and tell them that
they're here already."
Alex and Michelle leave and proceeds to where Susan and Helen are eating
lunch.
*******************
Rei once again bolts up in shock as she feels a great surge of power and
runs out the door and everyone looks in the direction that she ran.
"Whats with her?" asks Ranma.
"I don't know but we had better follow her or she might get into trouble."
replied Mina.
*******************
Mark has sat down at the top of the stairs and has pulled out a book to
read while Michael is doing a little sky watching and Jason just sits down and takes
a load off of his feet.
Jarred look over at Scott "So know what?"
"I don't know. I just need to take and rest for a while. God knows how
much we've gotten since that incident a few months ago." replies Scott as he leans
back on some of the stairs.
They are interrupted by a girls shout...
*******************
Upon exiting the Temple, Rei runs over to the steps and see's five guys in
black coats just sitting on the stairs.
"Who are you?" she yells at them as she runs over to get a better look at
them.
*******************
"Uh, guys. We have company." Jason says as he points towards Rei.
"Ah, shit. I mean we're just sitting here getting some rest, lady. We are really
tired and we've been walking for god-knows how long and how far!" answered
Scott.
"Yeah, so please back off." Jarred replied from where he sat.
"For you information the names, Rei Hino and this is my Temple and I
sense that you are powerful and most likely evil and I won't have that here."
shouted Rei.
"Evil? He guys, is there something that you not telling me?" asked Mark.
"No, we are not evil. We're just pissed off , and... hey wait a minute. Do I
know you cause you look so familiar its not funny." replied Scott.
"You two? This is defiantly strange." said Rei.
"It is not as strange as you might think Rei Hino." came a voice from
behind Rei.
Rei turns around only to see Sailors Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto
standing there each with what looks like a grin.
*******************
The Inner Scouts exit the temple just in time to see Sailors Saturn, Uranus,
Neptune, and Pluto standing facing towards Rei and 5 mysterious guys.
"Pluto. What are you doing here?" asked Mina
*******************
"Uh, Jarred?" Jason said looking at the group of girls and taking it into
account that trouble just found them again.
"I get'ch'ya." said Scott before Jarred could reply. "I think its time we
stopped running and started to kick some major ass, here! ARMOR OF
WILDFIRE... DOW-JI!!!!!!!!" shouted Scott as tossed off his trench coat. He
grabbed his left wrist with his right hand and began his transformation.
"STRATA!"
"HARDROCK!"
"HALO!"
"TORRENT!"
"Now lets ROCK!" shouted Michael as he grabbed his Naginata.
"Hold Ronin's, we wish no fight with you." Sailor Saturn said as she faced
off against Strata*.
(*When in Armor form I will call the Ronin Warriors be their Armor's name)
"She is correct. We mearly wish to caryout her Majesties command."
replied Pluto.
Wildfire made a quick glance at all of the girls. "Oh, and what would that
be, might I ask?"
"To return your memories to you all." Pluto said as she lowered he Time
staff.
Halo and Strata aimed their weapons at S Pluto. "Don't try anything
funny. `Cause we're to tired to put up with any bullshit." said Strata.
The Ronins walked right behind Sailor Pluto as she intern walked into the
temple completely shocking Ranma and Akane with her appearance.
"W-w-what the... A Sailor Scout," Akane says then does a double take as
Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn walked in right behind Pluto then at the Ronin
Warriors. "What the hells going on!" yelled Ranma.
"It is time for remembrance and a time for full explanations." Said Pluto.
"What are you talking about Pluto?" asked Serena.
Ranma looked at Serena in complete shock. "You know her?"
Pluto looked at everyone then raised her Time staff and tapped it on the
floor to get everyone attention. "AHEM!! Thank you. Now as I was saying it is
time for rememberace and explanations so without further interruptions...
`When to the seasons of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's past.'
Awaken, I command you..." shouted Pluto.
And upon the command, a beam shot out from the Garnet Orb that rests on
top of the time staff, shot out to the everyones head. Each of the Sailor Scouts
planet symbol began to glow and upon Serena's head her crescent moon started to
glow as well. But upon Akane's head the symbol for the planet Earth shone
brightly and Ranma's Head had the a crescent moon symbol upon his brow.
Among the Ronin Warriors the kanji symbols for Virtue, Wisdom, Trust, Justice,
and Life shone on their brows.
"`Tiss done." was Pluto's only reply.
