The Tale of Tiger Mask (A Ranma 1/2 and Sailor Moon fanfic)
By Robert Green (Rayous@Hotmail.com)
Standard disclaimer- I don't have the copy rights for ranma or sm, so if
you that do own the copy rights actually read this, please do not take
any legal action, as this is a piece of independent fiction that I am
not making any money from, and it is a good way of getting free
publicity.

Part One
It was a perfectly normal Sunday afternoon in Nerima. The sun was
shining, children were playing, and a young man was flying through the
sky. Now, in any other place someone flying through the sky would be a
spectacular event...but this was Nerima and this particular young man
happened to be punted into lower earth orbit quite often, and the sight
of his ascent no longer drew a second glance from Nerima's general
population. Ranma, the young man flying through the air, wasn't quite as
blas� about these occurrences...
"Macho tomboy" grumbled Ranma as he rocketed through upper Earth
atmosphere, "Why does she always have to overreact?"
He really didn't do anything wrong this time. It wasn't his fault that
Akane's cooking was toxic. You would think that she would realize that
she was making mistakes after that instance when she summoned that demon
while trying to make tuna casserole.(1) She doesn't ever even TRY her
own food! So he tries to escape death by dinner and wins a trip to the
stratosphere from Mr. Mallet. Can't a guy show a little self
preservation?!?
Ranma just sighed and watched the sky pass by. You can really sea the
stars more clearly from up here(2), it was really kinda beautiful. Ranma
just relaxed and enjoyed the ride. The flying part was pretty pleasant.
There was a sense of freedom as you left the clutches of gravity and
soared with the birds. It was the landings that hurt. Ranma stirred from
his reverie as he felt himself starting to fall *20 minutes, she really
must have hit me hard this time, I must be on the other side of Tokyo by
now. Better prepare to land. Hmm, how to avoid the most damage to where
I land. At this speed I should make quite a crater, and I still haven't
finished paying Nabiki for the last time.* He was going through his
options when he noticed a bright light come from where he would be
landing. *What the heck?!? Five girls fighting some sort of crystal
monster? That's a first. Heh, well now I have a place to land...just
need it to move 5 ft to the left...well that's easily solved.*
"MOKO TAKABISHA"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"JUPITER THUNDERBOLT ZAP!"
The lightning bolt flew into the Youma... and continued through,
scorching the street behind it.
*Damn it, none of our attacks even phase this thing! Our attacks just
go right through or are absorbed, and every time Usagi tries to dust it,
it dodges. We need time to make a plan* "Mercury, give us some cover!"
"Ok. MERCURY BUBL..."
"MOKO TAKABISHA"
The Youma leaped to the side, narrowly avoiding the beam of energy that
hit where it had been standing. Unfortunately for it, It leaped right
into Ranma's jumpkick, who at the time was moving at terminal velocity.
The sailors dove for cover as razor sharp shards showered the street.
"Wha... What happened" asked Usagi, slowly getting up and wiping dust
off her skirt.
"He did" said Amy, pointing to Ranma, who was busy trying to get
crystal shards out of his black pants.
"Oh... what did he do?"
"He threw some sort of energy blast then jump kicked it."
"He JUMP KICKED IT??? He shattered that thing with a KICK?!?"
"He was going over 100 miles an hour at the time."
"What?!?"
By this time Ranma had cleaned himself off and was walking over to the
girls.
"You girls ok?"
"How did you do that?" asked Raye.
"Aw, It was 'nothin. I'm a martial artist. We do that sort of thing all
the time where im from. Well, I got to get back to Nerima, Akane
probably thinks I'm with Unchan or something. Uh, where am I anyway?"
The scouts all face faulted
"Your in Juuban" said Amy, recovering her wits quickly. "Juuban? Dang,
Akane got some good hang time this time. Well, I gotta go, see you later
sometime maybe."
"Wait! Uh... you saved our lives, we owe you right? So how about lunch
or something?" said Makoto.
"What are you doing?!!" whispered Raye
"We need to know more about him."
"But we cant take him to lunch in our sailor outfits, and if we change
he will know who we are."
"Hey, maybe he is on our side, we could use his help. If he is part of
the negaverse, they always seem to find out our identities anyway.
Besides, he reminds me of someone I used to know."
"You better not mean your ex-boyfriend"
Meanwhile Ranma had been thinking furiously(as odd as it may seem, ranma
is smart. He just has a problem with expressing himself, perhaps because
of a certain 10 year training mission.) *Dang I'm hungry. If I head home
now, I might make it home for dinner. But I would have to run full out,
and Akane is supposed to cook dinner tonight too. Unchan closes early
today and the Nekohatten is closed for repairs after the last fiasco.
But If I go with these girls, Akane will think I was flirting. Then
again, since I've been gone for awhile now, she probably assumes I'm
with Unchan or Shampoo, and once she believes something she'll mallet me
if its true or not. And these guys were fighting that creature. Maybe
they have some special moves I could learn�.*
"Ok, Ill have lunch with you all."
"Just let us change, we cant go out like this"
"Wha..."
In a flash of special effects, the scouts return to their normal day
cloths.
"Cool, you guys have secret identities? That must come in handy. I've
tried disguises but they never seem to work out for me. You guys could
teach tsubasa a thing or two. Oh, I nearly forgot, my name is Ranma, and
you are....?"
The scouts introduced themselves as they walked over to the cherry hill
temple.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luna clicked the sailor communicator off.
"Artimis, the scouts are bringing over someone they want us to check
out. He destroyed the Youma they were fighting and they think he might
be either from the silver millennium or the negaverse."
"The negaverse? Seems unlikely that they would save them�but they have
done stranger things. Ill go get prepared."
End Part one.
1. This event is not from the regular time line, it comes after the
failed wedding attempt and the fight with saffron. Akane and Ranma's
relationship has started to deteriorate under the pressure from friends
and fianc�es. I may write a sidestory about these events at a later
time.
2. Yes, I know it is only morning and the sun is out, but at that height
you can see the stars at any time of day.
