Later that day, Ranma & Lita explored
the city. They walked into the market place,
which was full of people selling and buying
things.

	Ranma turned his head toward Lita.
"I'm starved!" His stomach grumbled. "How
bout' we go get something to eat?"

	"Okay!" Lita replied happily.

	They walked into what seemed to be
a restaurant, people quietly talking while
eating their food. They sat down at table
and picked up their menu. A waiter came
to them.

	"I'll have...this, this, this, and
this," Ranma said, pointing to the things
he wanted.

	Both, the waiter and Lita, were
shocked.

	"Umm, I'll just have chicken."

	The waiter went away to order the
food.

	Lita smelled the food from around
the room. "Mmm, smells good! I can't wait
until I can cook like this!"

	"You cook?" Ranma asked.

	"Yup! My friend, Serena, says I'm
a really good cook. One day I'm gonna open
up my own restaurant! Maybe sometime I can
cook something for you!" She said cheerfully.

	"Yah! They'd be great!"

	Lita looked over behind Ranma.
"Looks like our foods ready!"

	The waiter came back with four
huge orders of food and a small plate of
chicken. He plopped the order on the
table and left.

	"Alright! Look at all of this food!"
Ranma started wolfing down the food
vigorously.

	Lita stared at him. "Wow! You eat
just like my friend, Serena!"

	"Huh?" Ranma looked up from his
plate and noticed her look. He staightened
up and ate at a slower rate. "Sorry,"
he said sheepishly.

	"That's all right. I'm used to it."

	The rest of their lunch went
un-eventful until they noticed that they
were going to have to pay for the food.

	"Oh no! What are we going to do!"
Lita asked.

	Ranma thought for a moment, then
answered. "I know! I'll use the Saotome
Secret Technique!"

	"What's that?"

	The employees noticed their situation.
They started to surround them.

	"RUN AWAY!!!"

	Ranma grabbed Lita's arm and dashed
out the door.

--------------------------------------------

	Nephrite's guards threw him in his
jail cell harshly.

	Jinnai looked at this man curiously.
"Who are you and what are you doing in
here?"

	Nephrite dusted himself off.
"Nephrite, I was caught outside of their
palace. After taking out about a dozen of
them, those bug things finally took me
out and threw me in here. You?"

	Jinnai grinned. "Same. I think I
can get us out of here, but we'll have
to work together."

	"Just as long as I'm not in this
stink hole."

	"Good. If you're as strong as you
say you are, then I know how to get out.
I've discovered that I can talk to these
odd creatures, can you?"

	Nephrite shook his head.

	"Then you need me to get out, unless
of course you're planning to take on this
entire empire. Here's the plan..."

	Jinnai whispered the plan in
Nephrite's ear.

	"Got it?"

	"Yeah," answered Nephlite. (I don't
like the idea of relying on this human,
but he's right. Besides, I like his style.)

	Time passed and another bugrom guard
came around to check out it's prisoners.

	"Hey! You!" Jinnai yelled.

	The guard pointed to itself as if
to say, "Are you talking to me?"

	"Yes, you! Come in here! My friend
here is sick!"

	Jinnai pointed to the groaning
negaverse demon. The bugrom soldier got
closer to examine the cell's prisoner.
It was caught fully by surprise when a
burst of wind caught it in its stomach.
Its assailant wrapped his arm around its
neck and forced its arm against its back.

	Suddenly, without warning, the
guard's entire mind was forced onto him.

	"What the...?"

	"What is it?" Jinnai asked.

	"I think I just witnessed this
things entire life. Not much I might add,
but I think I just learned the whole
bugrom language."

	Jinnai shrugged. "Must be your
special power you got from coming here."
He looked back towards the guard. "Take
us to your queen now or die!"

----------------------------------------

	Three days later-it was midnight when
Makoto finally got a chance to rest. Tired
from all of the princess duties of the long
six days, Makoto tries to go to asleep. Instead,
he finds out what it's like to be the
princess...when she goes to sleep.

	Makoto's eyes open. "Huh?" He stares
at the squirming lump that seems to be
feeling his leg. It moves closer towards
his chest. The high school boy backs up
quickly.

	"What is that?!"

	It's head pops out from the covers.
It appears to be girl no more of 13 or 14
years of age. Her jade green eyes gleamer
in the moonlit night.

	"Ohh, Princess Fatora! I've missed
you so much!" She drew up closer to Makoto's
face, his wig sitting on his head. "I was
away to my parents and when I came back, I
heard that you were kidnapped! I had to
hurry here as quickly as possible!"

	The girl drew up even closer, only an
inch from his face. Makoto could now see
her more clearly. He noticed one thing
in particular. All she was wearing was a
pair of night clothes. The top half
didn't cover much of her clevage from his
vantage point. Sweat started to drip
down his forehead. He was paralyzed from
top to bottom. That was not exactly true
for the middle.

	"I'm so glad that your all right!"

	The girl slowly moved her hand
toward the top of Makoto's pants. She
dipped her hand in and found out not what
she expected. She gave a short shriek of
surprise before looking straight into
Makoto's eyes.

	"Heh, heh, heh..." He laughed
nervously.

	Simultaneously, they screamed.
Their shrieks carried throughout the
palace.

---------------------------------------

	Two hours before that had
happened, Kyoto and Taro were still up
that night. Most of the others had already
gone to bed early. Kyoto and
Taro were walking from different
directions into the entrance to the
library.

	Both of them put their hands on
the door at the sametime. They jumped
back, startled that they were not alone.

	"What are you doing here?" They
asked at the sametime.

	They both narrowed their eyes.

	Kyoto looked deep into Taro's
eyes, searching for information if
he could be a potential enemy.
Taro had the same cold eyes that
Kyoto had, not letting any other
emotions show.

	(Just the way everybody is
back home,) he thought bitterly.

	Kyoto's emotions change if someone
gets in the way of what he wants.
He goes from carefree and
careful, to coldly emotionless.

	Taro spoke in answer to his
question. "I'm here to study El
Hazard's history."

	"Same here."

	Taro walked past Kyoto and
opened the door. The library was
big and there were plenty of books to
look at. You could spend months here if
you wanted to. The library was
lit by two candles. Taro took one
and Kyoto took the other. They
spent hours on reading books.

	Sometime past midnight, they
thought they heard someone scream,
but they shrugged it off. Both of them
were now deeply involved in what
they were reading. Tarou read a
book called "The Ancients", while
Kyoto read one called "Journal of
the Demi-god".

	Taro spoke quietly to
himself. "Demon-gods of ultimate
power...those fools. Thinking
they could create things of that
magnitude and actually control it.
Hmph. I need no machine to do the
work for me, but their technology
It could still be of use to me."

	"It's already been tried."

	"Huh?" Taro turned his head
toward Kyoto.

	"One ancient tried to
combine himself with the power of
a demon-god. Once he did, he found
out that the power was to much to
control. Eventually he went insane
and destroyed himself."

	Taro shrugged. "No matter.
All I really need is some kind of
mind control device."

	Kyoto glanced out toward the
rising sun over the city. "Going
my way? We might as well go together
since I know where you can find
your Ancient technology. I need
someone to spar with me daily. It's
going to take a long time to get
there."

	Taro looked at him curiosly,
then shrugged. "Fine. Doesn't
matter to me. Just as long as I get
to where I want to go."

	Kyoto, seeing how Taro was
no longer in his way, grinned.
"Then it's settled. After we pack
up and get our supplies ready, we're
heading out over Mt. Muldoon to the
Forbidden Temple of Kalia!"

------------------------------------

	It was dawn and the sun was
slowly rising. Masamichi Fujisawa
was walking down to wake up his best
student, so that they could get an
early start. Mr. Fujisawa knocked
hard on the door. Getting no response,
he tried to turn the door knob but
found that it was locked.

	Londs walked down the hall
and noticed that Mr. Fujisawa was
having some trouble with the door.
"Anything wrong, Mr. Fujisawa?"

	"Nope. I just wanted to wake
my student up so we could get an
early start." He tried the door again
but to no avail.

	"It seems that your student
has locked the door. Perhaps he wants to
sleep in?" The commander of the guards
suggested.

	Mr. Fujisawa waved off the
thought. "Nah! He's just doing this
becuase he knew I was going to come
and wake him up early. Well, too bad
for him! We've got a lot of stuff to
do!"

	Ignoring the knob, he kicked
open the door with his achohol-free
strength. Him and Londs went into
the room looking for Makoto. They
found him in his bed...

	"Hey! Makoto! Wake up-"
Mr. Fujisawa stared at the teenaged
girl next him. His face suddenly
flushed with anger. "MAKOTO!!!"

	Makoto woke with start. He
looked up into the angered face of
his teacher. "Wh-what?? What is it
sensei?"

	Mr. Fujisawa waved his finger at
the girl beside him. "HER!!! How
could you!? I would thought you
were better than this! Explain
yourself!"

	Makoto's eyes went wide, as he
glanced at the girl beside him. He
looked back to his teacher. "No!
You've got it all wrong! I didn't
do anything! She-she-..."

	His voice trailed off as the
girl awoke. She looked at the
stuttering student, who still had
the wig on, and smiled.

	"Ohh, Princess Fatora!" She
hugged him happily.

	Makoto's went into a panic
as his teacher's voice thundered.
"MAKOTO!!! What have you got to
say for yourself!"

	"I-"  "Oh! You're not-"

	Ranma walked in and saw
the sight. "Whoa! Makoto! I never
knew you had it in you!" He
ran over to the panicky student and
gave him a slap on the back.
"Good for you!"

	Lita also walked in and
thought,(Ohh, I wish that me and
Ranma were doing that...).

	"Ranma!"  "No! You've mis-"

	"Makoto? And here I always
thought you were the shy one!"
Ryoga said joining in.

	Princess Rune walked in
beside him-having to guide him so
he doesn't get lost-and also
looked surprised. "Oh my! Alielle!
What are you doing back here?"

	Alielle beamed. "I came back
to see my love, Princess Fatora!"

-----------------------------------

	"...And that's why I thought
that he was my love!" Alielle
explained.

	"Oh! Now I see! It was just
a big misunderstanding, that's all."

	"EXACTLY!!! That's what I've
been trying to tell you all this
time, sensei!" Makoto sighed in
exasperation.

	Everybody "Oh"ed in
acknowledgment.

	Princess Rune walked in from
the door. "I have some news. We're
going to be having the royal metting
in one hour. Please meet up with me
in thirty minutes, Makoto, in my
room. We need to discuss what you
are going to say." With that, she
walked out of the room.

-----------------------

	Thirty minutes later, Makoto
finds himself in the room Princess
Rune. They discussing the meeting
when an unknown man walks in. He has
gray-silver hair and appears to be of
high status.

	"Hello Princess Rune," he greets
her with a bow. A light blush forms on
Rune's cheecks. The man quickly glances
at the wanna-be-princess, before raising
from his bow.

	Londs step foward. "What are you
doing here?" He asks, trying to hide the
irratation in his voice.

	The short old man beside refraises
Londs statement. "We are discussing an
important meeting, Sir Gallus."

	Rune waves her hand. "No, no,
it's alright. What would you have of me,
Sir Gallus?"

	Gallus smiles. "Nothing. Just
wanted to greet my fiance' on my way
out." He looks to Makoto curiously.
"Princess Fatora, I thought you had been
kidnapped!" He said, feigning sympathy.

	The wanna-be-princess laughs
nervously. A horrible sounding girly laugh
at that. "Umm, oh no, it's just, umm....."

	Makoto stepped back Gallus peered in
closer. "And your voice? It's so..."

	Makoto fakes a cough and does the
best girly voice he could do. Clearing his
throat, he speaks. "Oh, it's just that I
have this terrible cold and..."

	"She has soar throat. She has been
sick for quite a while now," the old man
said, finishing his sentence for him.

	Londs nodded his head in agreement.

	Gallus narrowed his eyes. "Is that
so? Well, I'm sorry to hear about that."
He turned his attention back toward
Princess Rune, smiling. "I must be leaving
now. Goodbye." Giving her a quick peck on
the cheek, he walked out of the door.

	The princess was still dazed by
Gallus' appearence and Makoto was still
too nervous to notice the two men behind were
glancing at each other in disgust.

------------------------------------------

	Ranma was walking inside of the
palace of Roshtaria, searching for
something.

	"Geez, where is everybody? I can't
find Taro, Kyoto, Lita, Makoto, or
Mr. Fujisawa. And Ryoga, well he could be
anywhere by now."

	Deep into his own thoughts, he walks
past Gallus not noticing him. Ranma stops his
steps and turns his head to look over his
shoulder. Gallus does the same.

	After a moment of staring at each
other, they resume their thoughts and
continue walking.

	Ranma is now thinking something
different. (That man...I felt something
strange in him. The same thing I feel in
the old goat, minus the perversity. Oh well.)

	Meanwhile, Gallus' thoughts has also
changed. (I felt some strange power
within that boy. Like he's two people in one.
I might be able to attain some useful data
from him. Later.)

--------------------------------------------

	The meeting has ended and they have
come to a conclusion- after some strange
behavior from the wanna-be-princess I might
add. They decided that they were going to
send Makoto- as the princess - to Mt. Muldoon
where he is to ask the three holy priestess'
of fire, wind, and water, for help against
the bugrom empire. They seem to be getting
smarter some how. There are new rumors
going around that there are two new human generals.
One is strategic battle adviser and the
other is the super powered commander.

	So Makoto and Alielle set out toward
Mt. Muldoon, followed by the other outer
dimension travellers: Ranma, Ryoga, Lita,
and Mr. Fujisawa. Nobody knows
where Taro and Kyoto are, but they believe
they're safe.

	Ranma is still getting used to having
Ura around, him being afraid of cats and all.
The princess let Makoto borrow him, saying
it makes him look more like her sister and
that it will protect him. Ranma freaked
when he first saw the thing, but he seems to
be able to get along when it turns into an
armor for Makoto. He's still afraid of it,
though.

	"Hey! Who's gonna pilot this thing?"
Ranma asked. He mananges to ignore Ura's
presence, with the cat sleeping inside
Alielle's backpack, of course.

	Everybody turned to Alielle, who was
embracing a blushing Lita by the waist.

	She looked up. "What? No way! I'm
not moving away from Sister Lita!" Her
grip tightened. Her hands started to move
elsewhere.

	Lita flew up in a burst of fury.
"You have to! Or else how will you find
your true love, Princess Fatora!"

	Sighing, she let go. "Oh, alright."

	She started toward their destination.

	Ryoga noticed something and wondered
innocently. "How come your cheeks are so
red, Lita? They look almost crimson! I-"

*SLAP*

	Eyes closed and mouth frowning, she
crossed her arms and sat silently.

	Ryoga looked bewildered. "What'd I
say?"

	Mr. Fujisawa grinned. "Let's just
say that Alielle is a different kind of
girl from Lita. Her hands can get pretty
busy when she's with other women, if you
know what I mean, heh, heh, heh....." He
chuckled and gave Ryoga a knowing nudge.

	"Sensei!" Makoto started.

	Ryoga's face flushed red with
embarrasment. "You-you mean Lita and
Alielle are both lesbians!?"

	"Yup!"	"No!"

	Lita slapped Ryoga again, except
this time using her fist. "Just Alielle!"

	"Oh..."

	Ranma's lip curled, grinning. "Now
your face is almost as red as Lita's was!"

	"Shut up, Ranma!" Lita and Ryoga
shouted at Ranma. Ranma cowered back.

----------------------------------------------

	Nanami wipes sweats off her forehead.
She appears to be stranded in the desert.

	"I'm so hot!" Her eyes narrow, as
she looks deep into the desert sand. "I-is
that an Oasis?! IT'S A MIRACLE!!!"

	She runs toward the oasis.

----------------------------------------------

*RRRMMM*

*PPPT-PUTT-PTT*

*POP!*

*BOOM!!!*

	Kyoto eyes Taro. "Maybe you should of
stolen a better ship. I don't like the
thought of walking the rest of the way toward
Mt. Muldoon AND over it."

	Taro shruggs. "Too late now."

---------------------------------------------

	Inside a dark room, a large chair stood,
surrounded by a small spot of light. In the
chair, a man sat. He had pale-yellow, almost
white, hair and long creases on his face.
Obviously, he was very old. His skin was oddly
blue.

	A woman appeared before him. Her face
was covered by a hood. She knelt on one knee
and spoke. "What is it you ask of me, My Lord?"
She was now visible and she too had blue skin,
though that did not dampen her wild beauty.

	The man spoke with a cold and calm voice.
"They have found an imposter to temporarily
replace Princess Fatora. They're heading toward
Mt. Muldoon, where the priestess' reside. I
want you to eliminate this imposter."

	"Yes, My Lord." She dissappeared into the thin
air.

	Another blue-skinned boy appeared from the
darkness. "You called, My Lord?"

	"Yes. I want you to capture the young boy
that has pig-tail who accompainies the imposter.
Wait until there is confusion among them.
Possibly until the mark is killed."

	"Another lab rat?" The boy smirked evilly
and raised his eyes to meet his lords.

	The blue man's lip curled into a dark grin.
"Oh, how much you so truly understand me. Go
now."

	The young boy faded into the darkness.

------------------------------------------------

	"Ohoho! Excellent!" Queen Deeva said
with joy. Lounging on her bed, she clapped
her hands.

	Both, Jinnai and Nephrite, were on
one knee. They stood back up.

	"But we need more power," stated
Jinnai.

	"Yes, he's right," Nephrite started.
On one of my raids, I ran into some kind
of priestess. She said she was the Priestess
of Wind. Though she was not as strong as me,
she was quite powerful I have to admit. I hear
there are more. They could prove to be a
nuisance if contacted by Roshtaria."

	Jinnai nodded his head. "My spies
have reported that Princess Fatora and
several others are heading to contact them.
They say that the Alliance is considering the
use of something called 'The Eye of God'."

	Jinnai gave Queen Deeva a puzzled
look after his sentence. "What is this 'Eye
of God'?"

	Queen Deeva's face turned pale. "It
is the ultimate destruction," she answered
gravely. "It could most likely destroy
my entire empire."

	Nephrite and Jinnai looked shocked.

	"What!?"	"What!?"

	The room went silent. At last,
Jinnai spoke.

	"Is there anything that could
counter it's power? Surely, there must
be another ultimate weapon on El Hazard!"

	Queen Deeva avoided Jinnai's eyes.
"Well, there is- no! It's too dangerous!"

	Jinnai stepped closer to the queen.
"What? What is it?"

	After a short thought, she sighed.
"Come with me."

	They followed her outside to a
cave. They walked deep into the cave until
she motioned for them to stop in front
of a large whole.

	She pointed out of the large hole.
"Look at this."

	Jinnai and Nephrite peered into
the large hole. They saw a huge city
inside the cave. The whole city was in
rumble. It look very ancient, with
tall buildings covered with dust and
nearly everything was destroyed. It looked like
someone dropped a nuclear bomb on it.

	"This is the work of the most
powerful demon-god, known as Ifurita."

	They stared in awe of the
destroyed civilization.

	"The Ancients created her and
used her as an ultimate weapon during
their own civil war. Their enemy
countered with their own ultimate
weapon, 'The Eye of God'. As a result,
an entire civilization was destroyed."

	Apparently, Jinnai and Nephrite
were thinking of the samething.

	"Perfect!" They cried in unision.

	"We can use this, 'Ifurita',
to destroy Roshtaria and their allies!"
(Not to mention that annoying human
and his annoying Senshi friend.) Nephrite
thought with triumph.

	"Where can we find this demon-god?"
Jinnai asked eagerly.

	Queen Deeva shook her head.
"That's the problem. Its on the
'Forbidden Island' and only the three
priestess know where it is."

	Jinnai grinned. "No problem!
I have a plan already! But first, we
have to take care of that annoying
princess and her friends."

	"Yes. I'm sure that Rune will
be devastated at the death of her
sister and will their for not be able
to perform her duties. It will make
a big dent in their plans," added
Nephrite.

--------------------------------------

	"So you don't know where either
of them went?" Lita asked.

	Ranma shrugged, uncaringly.

	"How 'bout you Ryoga?"

	"Nope. I was lost the entire
time! You search all that time just to get
to this hover-craft!"

	"Sounds just like you."

	"Shut up, Ranma!"

	"Calm down you two. We're
almost there." Mr. Fujisawa said
calmly.

	Makoto looked over the rail
of the ship. "Hey! Look at that!"

	Everyone turned toward the
desert. They saw a broken down
ship and some footprints.

	Makoto started to say something,
but was interrupted by a slight rock
of the ship.

	"Hey! Watch it!" Ranma shouted
at their pilot.

	Alielle glared at Ranma. "I'm
trying the best I can!"

	The ship rocked more, hitting
more lumps on the landscape.

	Ranma got up off the floor.
"Sheesh! Let me take over little
girl! You obviously don't know how
to fly." He started towards Alielle.

	"WHAT?! Hmph!" Intentionally,
she lets go of the steering wheel,
causing them to him a large rock and
almost tilt the ship upside down.

	"Oops!" She feigned innocently.
"I guess I-"

	Ranma was on the deck, soaked
in alcohol. He was now his beautiful
counter part.

	Mr. Fujisawa picked up the
empty container of alcohol. "Oh no!
Its-its-its all gone!"

	Mr. Fujisawa lamented over
his alcohol, complete oblivious
to the fact that Ranma had changed.
Makoto, having seen it only once
before, still freaked out a little
bit. Lita and Ryoga shook their
heads, knowing Ranma to be a magnet
for water. Alielle on the other
hand...

	"Ohh! Sister Ranma!"

	"Hey! Let go of me you little
twirp! AND STOP DOING THAT!" Ranma-chan's
face was red.

	Lita breathed a sigh of relief.
"At least her attentions is on someone else's
and not mine."

	"That doesn't help!"

	Still rubbing Ranma-chan's breasts,
she answered. "Do what? Don't you like
it?"

	"Yeah, Ranma. Don't you like it?"
Ryoga commented.

	"No!"

	"Alielle! Stop this right now!"
Makoto demanded.

	"Why?"

	"Because I'm gonna hafta' hurt
you..."

	"Because, who's gonna fly the
ship?!" Mr. Fujisawa replied.

	"Oh yeah!" She said, returning to
the wheel.

	"I gotta find some hot water,"
Ranma-chan said, looking into Alielle's
backpack. "C-C-CA~~T!!!" Ranma-chan was
about to freak out completely when she
spilled the canteen warm water on
herself. He was dazed long enough for
Lita to hide Ura.

	"Hey, look!" Makoto pointed out
toward a mountain, trying to get Ranma's
mind off Ura. "I think we're here!"

	"Finally!" Ranma said, now back
to his normal self- whatever that is.

	"We'll be there in a little while."
Alielle said matter-of-factly.

-----------------------------------------

	Sweat dropped from his forehead.
"Maybe we should rest for a little bit.
We haven't sleeped for about a day."

	Tarou nodded. "That cave"-he
pointed to a large hole against the wall
of the cliff-"looks like a good place."

----------------------------------------

	"Whew! Can we rest yet, sensei?"
Makoto asked while wiping sweat from
his brow. "This dress is so hard to move
in!"

	"I'm tired!" Lita sat down.

	Alielle smiled. "So am I!" Alielle
sat down on a rock next to Lita.

	Mr. Fujisawa, wearing a whole pack
of mountain climbing gear. "Bah! This is
good exercise for you! You three are
just lazy! Look at them! They haven't even
broken a sweat yet!"

	He pointed over to Ranma and
Ryoga. Alielle started move to closer to
Ranma with her hand behind her back.

	"DON'T EVEN!" Ranma glared at
her.

	She only smiled back innocently.
"What?"

	"You know! You've already done it
to me three times! We're running out of
water and I don't want to be stuck like
THAT!"

	"Oh, but you look so beautiful!
You should admire your body and-"

	"-Let you feel me up?! I don't think
so, you little twirp!" Ranma cast a short
glance toward Lita. "Why don't you go
bother 'sister' Lita, or something..."

	"Okay!" She said happily. Alielle
ran over to Lita and embraced her.

	"Hey! Ranma!!!"

	"AHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

	"What's that annoying sound?"
Ranma yelled angrily.

	"Hey! Up there!" Ryoga pointed
upward at several shadowy figures.

	The figures appeared in the sunlight.
It was Jinnai, accompanied by five bugroms.

	"Is...Is that you Makoto!? HA! How
pleasant it is to find out that my target
is my fellow student, Makoto!" Jinnai laughed
again.

	"Jinnai?!" Mr. Fujisawa and Makoto
said at the same time, in surprise.

	"What are you doing here?" Makoto
asked.

	"To kill the princess imposter, YOU!
How pitiful it will be for you to die in a
wig and dress! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

	Ura, sensing danger, jumped out of
Alielle's backpack and wrapped itself
around Makoto. Luckily, Ranma was too annoyed
by the sound of Jinnai's laugh and mistook
the cat for clothing.

	"ARRGH! Stop laughin' already!
Mouko Takibisha!" Ranma threw the beam
quickly at Jinnai.

	Jinnai managed to dodge the beam and
let one of his bugrom lackeys take the hit
for him. "He almost hit me! What's that?
Who cares about you! I'm talking about me
here, your superior!" He replied. "You four!
Carry on with the plan!"

	The four bugrom started breaking the
cliff causing an rock slide.

	Ryoga stood still and simply pulled
out his umbrella. He opened it, only to find
five other people under it. "Hey! Get your
own umbrella!"

	The rocks fell, but missed its targets.
Ryoga and the others got out of the rumble,
unharmed.

	Six figures appeared on the top of
the cliff. "I told you such a simple trick
wouldn't work," Nephrite said.

	"Hmph! I've got others! Come on!"

	The six dissappeared from the cliff.
The other wanderers continued their
journey with more caution. They came upon
several more of Jinnai's failed traps,
until they came upon huge chasm of blackness.
The chasm stretched as far as the naked eye
could see. There were dozens of small thin bridges
made of rock, that went four stories long until
it finally reached the other side. The six
travellers walked slowly across the bridge, one
behind the other.

	Ranma looked down into the blackness.
"Whoa. Wouldn't it be scary if this thing
suddenly collasped?"

	The others glared at him, making him
laugh meekly. They were about in the middle
of the bridge when the signature Jinnai laugh
started. The six travellers looked forward
to Jinnai whom was standing at the end of the
rock bridge with five burgom soldiers.

	"...AHAHAHA! You won't be able to escape
this trap, Makoto Mizuhara!" Jinnai turned to
his bugrom lackeys. "Go! Do what I told you
before!"

	The five bugroms pick some chucks of
rock and started to pound away at the rock
bridge.

	"Ahh! Jinnai! What are you doing?! Stop
this! You should listent to your teacher!"
Mr. Fujisawa pleaded.

	"Hmph! There is no escape!" Jinnai
motioned over to the other side, where
Nephrite and five more bugrom soldiers stood.

	Nephrite grinned as he blasted away
the beginning of the bridge. "I'll tell
your friends good bye for you!" He told
Lita. "'Cause when I figure out how to
get back, I'm going to take over the
world with the bugrom!" He said softly,
yet harshly, so only the six could hear it.

	Lita's eyes burned with fury and
feared for her friends. She imagined her
entire world took by surprise of a horde
of bugrom. The world devastated. "WHAT!? Not
if I can help it!"

	She quickly turned into Senshi form,
Sailor Jupiter. Her tiara glowed white, as
she cast her hand foward toward the broken
part of the rock bridge. Magically, it
seemed, the gape started to close up and
reseal itself.

	"What was that!?" Nephrite said in
surprise, but before he could react, Jinnai
finished breaking the other part of the
bridge.

	"Rrr, come on!" Mr. Fujisawa said
to Alielle and Makoto. They grabbed onto
him fiercly, for they feared falling into the
chasm when Mr. Fujisawa jumped with super
strength to another bridge. Ranma, Lita,
and Ryoga followed him.
