STALLION



Prologue.


Setsuna was, like always, alone.  She was, like always, sitting in front of Time Gate.  She was, however, unlike always, disturbed.  It took a lot to even flinch the Senshi of Time, so it would be very safe to say now that there was a trouble coming, a very big one at that.  The worst part was that even Sailor Pluto didn't know what it was.  She didn't see anything through the Gate, or receive a warning from her future self like before.  All she got was her intuition.  She could feel that there was something coming, something big.  She was rarely wrong, especially involving future.  After all, that's what she has been doing for milleniums.  Of course, she was rarely confused, too.  This never happened before.  The part that was really confusing was that whatever was coming, it wasn't threatening, but rather... familiar?  Setsuna sighed deeply.  Only if she knew what it was...


It was a perfect morning.  The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and it was so quiet around the house.  Too quiet.  Ironically, this silence was what woke up one Akane Tendo.
She slowly sat up in her bed, with extreme tiredness on her face, with a hint of confusion.  For a past year, she could never finish her sleep in peace.  This problem began since the day Ranma arrived at Tendo Dojo.  Every morning, the Saotomes would "spar" in the Tendo yard, until one of them, or sometimes both of them, fell in the pond.  So it was needless to say Akane was somewhat feeling uncomfortable not waking up to the noise she was accustomed over the year.
Akane turned her head, and looked at the yard through her bedroom window. Nobody.  It was quite, as it always was before Ranma.  She could begin to like this peace, she thought, but then she became curious.  What's going on?

She went out of her room, and stared down the hallway.  Then she alked towards the guestroom, where Ranma and his father stayed.  When her hand reached the doorknob, she froze and frowned a little at a thought.  If any of other household member saw this, there surely will be a problem.  She will never hear the end of it about visiting her "fiancee's" room so early in the morning.  She hesitated for a while.  But the curiosity got the better of her, as she slowly turned the doorknob, and opened the door.

She peeked into the room. Genma was in his panda form.  Times like this made Akane wonder whether the elder Saotome really hated his curse.  He has stayed in the form as much as his normal form, if not more.  He snored really loud in either form, she noted.  She gritted her teeth as she remembered how much she suffered through the Anything-goes Art of Saotome Snoring before she finally got used to it.  Her room was far away from the guest room, too.

Then she noticed that Ranma's futon was empty.

'Where did that baka go this early in the morning?'

Somewhat annoyed, she slowly closed the door.  She didn't know why the elder Saotome wasn't up yet, and she didn't even have a slightest idea how Ranma woke up so early, and why.  He never woke up before his dad, and sometimes he slept till somebody splashed him(by Genma, or Akane, depending to the circumstances), or glomped on him(by Shampoo, or occasionally, Happosai).

Then Akane slowly began to worry.  For the past month, Ranma hasn't been himself.  Sure, he still fought with Kuno, Ryoga, Mousse, and just about anyone who just happened to pass by and challenged him(she was a little annoyed at the thought.).  He still was a insensitive baka, insulting her and her cooking(she fumed at this thought.).  He still was a pervert, stringing along all his 'fiancees'(she fumed even more at this thought.). But there certainly was difference.  He became quieter, and somewhat depressed.

For instance, his recent fights with Ryoga was half-hearted.  While Ranma still emerged victorious, he got hurt more often from it, since he put less effort into it.  Even with Mousse, instead of beating him to pulp, Ranma simply splashed him as soon as possible, and just kicked him away.  Oh, but he still beat up Kuno like always, which indicates that at least he wasn't going insane.

Even with his insulting, Ranma was getting less and less mean.  Heck,
sometimes instead of opening his big mouth, he just rolled his eyes nd
walked away.  While Akane was still offended in some degree, Ranma was not offending enough for Akane to pent out her anger on him.  It was really frustrating for Akane.  These days, her temper lost its only way out.

This change in Ranma didn't go unnoticed by his other suitors, apparently. After all, it was not that hard to notice.  Ranma was now less active.  He spoke less, and was in deep thoughts more often than, well, ever!  Also, he seemed to have lost his grand appetite, as if it was possible.  He began to turn down the offer for free food!  This came to as a great shock not only to his fiancees, but to everyone who knows him.  This apparent change brought down more changes in the actions of his future prospects for his wife.

First of all, Shampoo became less aggressive.  She no longer put down her bike on Ranma's head.  Instead, she just drove it around Ranma, giving him a smile.  But it was obvious she was troubled.  While she still brought free ramen for Ranma, she stopped putting the literally 'magical ingredient' into them.  Somehow, it was as if this slight depression of Ranma rubbed off on her.  Shampoo became less cheerful, and became more polite, like if she was afraid of him.  Akane could guess that Shampoo was worried that this sudden change in Ranma's attitude was due to her tempering with the wedding attempt by her father and Genma.  Even though Ranma forgave her, he gave her a serious warning about what he would do if there was another exploding food attempt at Akane.  While Akane believed Ranma entirely forgave Shampoo(much to Akane's annoyance), Shampoo didn't seemed to, nor could.

'Well, serves her right!'

Akane was more worried about Ukyou's reaction.  She became more cheerful, and acted more friendly towards Ranma now.  But Akane could see the difference.  While Akane was not a mind-reader, she could feel some desparation in Ukyou's actions.  In fact, it was too well obvious.  Ukyou now went overboard with showing her affection, as if she felt that Ranma would leave her if she didn't.  Akane felt a little sorry for Ukyou.  Unlike Shampoo, Ukyou's claim on Ranma was valid in the views of both parties, even in the views of Tendos.  But it also meant that Ukyou was aware of how vaild Tendon's claim is, too.  Akane almost married Ranma.  Almost.  Forced or not, Ukyou was being dangerously out-manuevered, and she knew it.  All in all, Ukyou just loved Ranma so much.  She couldn't AND didn't want to lose Ranma...

Kodachi was still around, but nobody cared.

How about her?

Akane froze. This question always popped in her head everytime she thought about Ranma.  In a way, an already answered question.  However, she still couldn't stop asking that question over and over again.  It was only thing she could do to forget about other, or rather others' problem.  No matter how rude he is, how insensitive he is, Ranma was hers.  He was her pervert. She didn't want to lose him.  Even though she would have to break lot of hearts, she wouldn't let him go.  Because, because, she lo, lo, lo...

"Whatcha doing?"

"EEEEK!!  DON'T SNEAK UP ON ME LIKE THAT, RANMA!!!"

POW!!

"What did do nooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww~"

There he is, or rather, there he goes.  Well, he still is a jerk.  What was he thinking?  Sneaking up on her like that, when she was thinking by herself.  Really.  With that thought, Akane dropped her mallet on Genma's head, who just happened to wake up from that noise, then go right back to sleep by the same method now his son was flying.  A bit pouting, Akane left the room.  Now, in the room, there was only a knocked-out panda...


One fact is known throughout the universe, you do not want to see an angry Washu.  Of course, you do not want to see a HAPPY Washu, either, especially when she has you tied up in the experimental pod hanging on the ceiling. Sadly, Tenchi was in that very situation.  Even more sadly, or rather, horrifyingly, Washu was MAD.  The Light Hawk was now in a deep trouble, and he knew it.  There she was, the smartest, and the maddest, genius scientist in the universe, typing frantically on her floating keyboard, with a frown that could melt an iceberg by just telling the ice about it.  Whatever it was, Washu was disturbed by it, and it was REALLY REALLY bad.

"Um, Washu-CHAN?  Are you okay?"

Washu made no reply, still busy with her keyboard.  Knowing well about an upset female(after all, he lives with three of them, very powerful ones at that), Tenchi kept his mouth shut.  He was still alive, and he wanted to keep it that way.  Beside, Washu can take care of her own problem, can't she?

"I don't understand."

Of course, you don't hear that coming out of her mouth everyday, either.

"Um, what do you mean?"
"I don't understand this."
"Um, hehe, ano, what are you talking about?"
"......"

Uh-oh.

"AAAAAAACCKKKKKKKKK!!!  This doesn't make sense at all!!!"
"EEEEEEEP!"
"Why can't I find out what this is?!?"

Then Washu did very unusal thing for her.  She smashed the keyboards.  By that, the keyboard did very usual thing for one being smashed.  It
malfunctioned.  By that, Tenchi was in a very usual situation for him.  In BIG trouble.

"HHHHEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!!"

The pod then turned into a torture chamber.  It stretched, shrank, twisted, and spinned.  Tenchi, still being tied to it, stretched, shrank, twisted, and spinned with it, making unholy sounds in every part of his body.

CRACK!  CRUNCH!  POW!  CRASH!

"OW!  OUCH!  AACK!  KEK!  UMPH!"

All the while, Washu was oblivious to the outside noise, as she was in a deep thought.

'What is this disturbance?  What is this thing my sensors keep picking up?  I thought it was Tenchi-dono at first, but his data shows he hasn't changed at all.  Somehow, somewhere on this planet, there was a huge energy surplus that almost broke my sensors.  Only thing I could think of was the Juraian Power growing inside of Tenchi-dono, but it wasn't!  What could possibly affect my machines so much?  Whatever, it is, I will find it!  After all, I am the greatest genius...'

"Mommy..."

"...mommy in the universe!!  Huh?  That didn't come out right.  Who was that?  OOPSIE."

Washu turned around to find Tenchi, still in the pod, now the bottom part stretched out, the top part shrank down, all the while twisting and spinning.  Washu hurriedly turned off the machine.  When it finally stopped twisting and spping, the pod was dangling in the ceiling only by a strand of string.  He was already passed out, thankfully.  However, when he wakes up, he's definitely gonna feel it.

Snap!

CRASH!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, he's definitely gonna feel it.


"Urd-neesan."
"Huh?  Why?"
"Are you sure this is the place where that mysterious power source is?"
"How many time do I have to tell you?  YES, I AM SURE!"
"THEN WHY ISN'T THERE ANYTHING HERE?!?"
"Um, that is..."

The goddess of the past, and self-proclaimed goddess of love(despite not being able to solve her own love problem), was lost in words.  It wasn't her style to plan ahead, so she was stuck here in downtown Tokyo, being glared by Skuld right now.

"Also, why can't Belldandy-neesan come with us?  I know she has some
houseworks to do, but I really don't think we should leave her alone with Keiichi!"
"Ah, come on.  He isn't that bad.  Beside, what could possibly happen?  This is Keiichi we are talking about."
"Well, you are right.  But still..."
"Just forget about it and let's look for that source.  I am sure they will be fine."

They better be more than fine, Urd thought.  It wasn't that often those two can be by themselves.  It was especially hard when Belldandy's over-protective younger sister was around.  That was the reason Urd brought Skuld with her so they can have some "quality" time together.  She is such a trouble maker, Urd thought as she looked at their youngest sister(as if you are not, Urd).

Then she remembered something and frowned.  There was no doubt.  This is the place where that mysterious power had stopped by.  It was about a month and a half since she felt the power surge.  It was so great, even Skuld was able to pick it up(even though it cost her another electrical gadget she was working on).  Belldandy felt it too, and was worried about it for Keiichi.  They called the Office about it too, but their father couldn't give answer.

'Or wouldn't.  What is he hiding?'

"Urd-neesan."
"Huh?  What is it?"
"Let's go home~."
"Eh?  What do you mean?  We have only been here for an hour."
"But you can't feel anything, can you?  I don't have anything on my sensor too.  Let's come back another day with Belldandy-neesan.  She is good at those kind of things.   Neh?"

'Good at only those kind of things.  If she was good at EVERYTHING then I wouldn't have to bring YOU around...'

"Urd-neesan?"
"Okay, fine.  Let's go home.  We are not finding anything anyway."
"Yay!"

With that, Skuld ran toward the closest water puddle.  Sighing, Urd turned to the nearest TV shop.  It was true.  She couldn't find anything anyway.  Even though she was sure that the one with the mysterious power came to this part of the town, she couldn't pinpoint the exact location.  In fact, the entire point of this search was mainly to give Keiichi some time alone with Belldandy.  If they DID find some info, it would have been the additional benefit.

'Yeah, as if things would be THAT easy.'

She rolled her eyes as the thought crossed her mind, and she walked through the big TV screen, not noticing the wide-eyed salesperson staring at her disappearing into the TV.

"KEIICHI!  WHAT DID YOU DO TO BELLDANDY-NEESAN!?!"
"No, nothing!  I swear!  This is just misunderstanding!!"
"LIAR!  WHY ELSE WOULD BANPEI-KUN ATTACK YOU??"
"I don't know!  I swear!  I really didn't do anything!!"

Urd sighed, as she heard Skuld's shouting and Keiichi's whimpering as she arrived at the living room through their TV.  Banpei.  Forgot about that.  She should have done something with it.  It seems that Keiichi failed at another romantic attempt...  Typical day at home, Urd mused.

"KEIICHI, YOU PERVERT!"
KONG!
"Ouch!!!!"
"Oh, Skuld, you are back.  KEIICHI-SAN!  Are you okay?"

Typical day indeed...

At the same time, inside a downtown TV shop,

"Sir!  A woman, blonde, gorgeous, tanned, TV, big screen, walk, disappeared, a woman, gorgeooooouuus, DISAPPEARED, TV!!!!!"
"Sigh.  Kasuke.  Didn't I tell you not to drink so much last night?  Why don't you take a break?"
"Not, beer, drink, TV, gorgeous!!!!"
"I know our TV's are gorgeouse.  That's our shop name.  'Gorgeous TV's.'"
"Not, woman, big, screen, breast, a woman!"
"You need a girlfriend, Kasuke."


Prologue ends.
