Chaos, Time Travel, and really bad parodies.

by Tripolar Disorder

Chapter One.

"A beautiful day in the Nerimahood...."  Possible quote from Mr.
Rogers, if he was either smoking weed or having trouble reading
his cue cards.

These characters don't belong to me.  They never will either.
I am just borrowing them and changing their mindsets but I will
return them back unharmed (I hope)

I posted a story quite some time ago, called a Demon named Damon
made me do it.  I stopped it then I decided not to make it a
Self-insert.  I also took chapter one, which was Kiyone being
brought back to life, and made it into a separate story beginning.
The story had a bit of character suspense, that it didn't need
after I took the X-over out of it.  

The story would be a continuation of the Epiphany story and the
Resurrection stories.  But I don't think I will have too many
teasers.

Jusenkyo, 1920

It was a hot day.  It was the latest in a string of hot days.

The Guide for the Jusenkyo springs was busy trying to keep cool
water near him so he wouldn't suffer heat stroke again.

<I wish I could leave my post, but if I was caught, I would be
killed.>

He was looking out over the pools of water.  A valley so calm and
peaceful, yet concealing a horrible yet slightly amusing secret.

As he continued to scan the valley, he was knocked back as a
flash of light and a compressed wave of air hit him.

He picked himself up to see nine figures in colored robes
standing where he himself had been only moments before.  He
could not see the faces because of the hoods that darkened their
features, but he was a pretty good judge of body types and he
identified them all as female.  

They seemed not to speak a sound among them, but immediately
moved toward the springs.

He kept his distance, wary of getting near them.

Meanwhile between the robed women....

"So this is Jusenkyo?  Doesn't scare me that badly."

"It might hear you, shut up.  You wanna get cursed too?"

"Who would hear me?"

"It would.  The springs."

"I think you have lost your mind."

"I tell you I think this place knows.  It has feelings."

"Yeah right, you just fell in cause you wanted that curse didn't
you."

"ALL of you, be quiet.  This is neither the time or the place for
this."

"She's right little girl, lets wait until we get back to the
exercise room."

"You got it you floating freak, and top calling me little girl."

One of the other robed figures leaned over toward the other to
whisper.  "Nothing ever changes huh?"

The reply was quick.  "Nope."

*****************************************************************

The guide watched as on of the robed figures seemed to fill a
bottle with some of the spring water.  She was very careful not
to immerse her hand, just the bottle.

<They at least know about the springs.  That is one less thing
they could blame me for.>

As he watched them one of them started walking in his direction.
The guide was getting nervous.  He didn't need a hex like last
time, so he hoped he could do whatever she wanted easily.

As the figure approached she removed the hood and the robe split
down the front and begun shrinking until it looked more like an
oversized western button down shirt on the girl's frame.

The rest of her was in stark contrast however.  She was wearing
a pair of denim shorts almost too short and very tight.  The
guide knew about the western companies that were producing the
blue denim fabric, but he had never seen it.

She also had a short sleeved pullover shirt.  The quality of the
materials used and the craftsmanship in their design was grabbing
his attention, well actually something else was holding his
attention.

His eyes were working their way up her long, slender, tanned
legs, when he realized she was watching him drool.

He jumped to his feet.  And stood at attention like he was a
member of the imperial army.  Unlikely considering his pot belly.

The girl, who looked oriental, but he couldn't figure out where
she was from by her face.  Her dark eyes and brown hair were a
little unusual, but she was at least pleasing to the eye.

"Can I help you, honored madam?"  Said the guide.

The girl snickered.  "You can call me...... umm"  She looked back
toward the others a moment.  "....Seven."

The guide was a little confused.  "Seven?"

The other robed figures were looking in his direction.  The girl
smiled slightly.  "Yes, Seven,.....Seven of Nine."

With this the other figures face-faulted, luckily none fell into
any of the springs.

>From behind her back she produced a large bundle of currency.  She
held it up again the side of her temple and sighed.

"I was kinda wondering if you could do a favor for me.  I will
make it worth your while."

She handed him the stack then put her hand on his shoulder,
leading him into his hut.

Over at the springs, another of the women removed her hood, the
robe began changing just like the first had, until it was a small
vest.

Her strangely shaped red hair, now was free to fall down to her
knees and she shook her head to loosen it and let it all fall
free.

Several of the others followed suit.  Each now in strange and 
colorful grab.  Most of it was tight and a bit revealing.  If 
anyone could have seen it, they might have thought the girls to
be aliens or something.

Well they would have been correct, at least in part.

Washu put the lid on the bottle.  She handed it to Kasumi who 
placed it in a shoulder tote.  She then motioned to Ryoko and 
Ranma-chan who were sparring on the edge of the pools.  They
stopped what they were doing and trailed behind as everyone
collected back together at about the point they had started.

Nabiki came out of the hut, finishing some instructions.

"...with the letter.  Do you think that you can do that?"

The guide nodded, for what she paid him he could certainly fulfill
her strange request.  Besides, it would never happen anyway.

Nabiki turned toward Ryoko.  "One last thing.  Do you recognize
this person?"

The guide went white as he finally noticed who she was pointing
at.   "D-D-DEMON!!!!!!"   He shrieked and fell to his knees,
prostrating himself at Ryoko's feet.

Ryoko smiled.  She loved people that groveled for her.

Nabiki cleared her throat.  "I was wondering if you could tell me
which of the springs my friend here fell into."

The guide looked up.  "Not possible.  That spring destroyed so 
you could not possibly be victim, you could only be ....."

Washu interrupted.  "..The women who created the spring in the 
first place?"

"Not woman, DEMON!  No one that ever came out of that spring 
survived for long.  Always destroy themselves from magic that
cursed form have.  Demon energy not sit will with mortal people."

Washu put two fingers upward in a V-shape.  "That's right, I made
the perfect body to contain an almost unstoppable power source.  
I am the greatest!!!"

Everyone else there was sweating, well except Ryoko.  She had an
even bigger smile.

"Hear that Ranma-CHAN.  I am unstoppable."

Ranma frowned and stood to square Ryoko off.  "I ain't going to
stop trying.  No matter what you say."

Washu cleared her throat, then continued to speak with the guide.
"So the spring that she fell into is gone?"

The guide nodded.  "Amazon women cause collapse in hillside over
there."  He pointed toward the eastern side of the valley.  "They
buried the spring so no one else would explode from curse."

Washu nodded.  "That reminds me Ranma, wanna go pay a visit on 
the village?"

Ranma turned with a surprised look, and noticed Washu's evil 
smile.

His face lit up and his eyes curved.  "You know, that might be 
fun actually.  Wonder what Cologne would look like now?"

Washu tapped her temple with her index finger.  "Lets go and find
out."

Suddenly there was a flash of light and the guide found himself
all alone again, and only a few black, smoking patches of earth.

*****************************************************************

As the group of women rounded the path to the village gate, Ranma
started laughing.  There were no guards at the gate, instead all
were focused on a battle going on upon a log suspended in midair
in the middle of the courtyard.

"No, it can't be.  It can't.  It IS!!   What luck!"  Ranma-chan
was nearly in tears from laughing between words.

"What is it Ranma?"  Asked Akane.

"This is the same festival that I met Shampoo at.  And look who
is up on the log."  Ranma pointed to a Purple haired girl who had
just knocked her opponent off of the log.

Washu said out loud.  "You pondering what I'm pondering?"

Ranma-chan nodded.  "I think so Washu, but if they are in china,
why are they called Amazons?"  A moan from all those involved
gave Ranma-chan a good reason to stay quiet for a minute.

She pointed over to the banquet feast on a table to the side.
"Everyone sit down and eat up, and let me do the talking."

The collected group did so and as if on cue, the purple haired 
one hopped down off the log, walked over and confronted 
Ranma-chan.

"Why you eat my prize?  It honor to..."

She was interrupted by Ranma-chan.  "I know, I know.  It's an
honor for you to win the feast and then invite your friends to
share it.  Well I challenge you, because I am letting MY friends
eat."

The girl growled at her.  "Fine, will make short work of puny
girl with big mouth."

Ranma-chan smirked.  <You would think that, wouldn't you?  Well
prepare for trouble.>

The purple haired girl gestured to the log with one of her
bonbori, and Ranma-chan lunched from a standing position, landing
deftly on the log, nearly forty feet away.

The girl started to sweat, her mind was flashing a warning sign
and she didn't like it.

She took her place on the log and assumed a ready stance.
Ranma-chan turned her back on her and seemed not to care that
she was exposed.

The girl took the offensive and swung at Ranma-chan's head, but
before it contacted, the redhead was gone.  She found her bonbori
passing through an after-image.

She spun around to find Ranma-chan was now standing on the log,
facing away from her, but the redhead was defying gravity and
standing on the side.

The crowd gasped in amazement at this new turn of events.  The
girl was staring at her opponent with wide eyes.

Ranma turned around, still on the side of the log.  She giggled
and then ran over the top of the log and continued her circle
under and finished by stopping directly in front of the girl
while still being on the side of the log.

The girl tried to take the opportunity and swung at Ranma.  And
again she hit nothing but an after-image.

The crowd was now rather excited at the outsider's antics.  This
strange girl running circles around their champion, literally.

The purple haired one was now angry and was attacking Ranma-chan
as fast as she could.  Each time coming up just short and having
her target appear elsewhere on the log.

After a few seconds, the girl was panting from the exertion and
Ranma was sitting on the other end of the log.  She wiggled her
finger in a scolding motion.  "Tisk, Tisk.  That is quite a
temper you have.  Not a good thing in battle.  We are going to
have to do something about that."

Ranma hopped to her feet, narrowly avoiding another swing by her
furious attacker.  She then held up a single finger before
driving it into the log itself with a familiar battle cry.

"BATSAI TENKETSU!!!!"

This brought Cologne out of the shadow she was hiding in.  She
thought her daughter on the log was resorting to secret
techniques.  She had turned her gaze away from the fight for only
a moment, and when she heard the outcry found it was the outsider
that was responsible.

She stood atop her staff, amazed as the log shattered and her
daughter fall to the ground below.  The Outsider landed on her
feet and started to taunt the girl again about her lack of
prowess.

Ranma-chan was giggling.  "And you're the best this village has?"

The purple haired girl was stunned.  One of the tribe's own 
techniques had been used against her, and by an outsider female,
and topping it off she gets insulted.  That was the last straw.

Cologne watched as her daughter rushed the redhead and 
overextended her attack.  The other girl backed up enough so 
that her daughter continued to charge forward.

In her minds eye, Cologne could se how calm the other girl was 
and saw what was happening too late.  Her daughter was being led
in a circle, then she saw it.  It wasn't a circle, it was a 
spiral.

Cologne shouted out, trying to get her daughter's attention, but
she was too focused on her opponent to hear anything.

Ranma-chan reached the apex of the spiral and did an uppercut.
"HIRU SHOTEN HAAAAAAA!!!"

The crowd went ballistic as their champion was carried into the
air by the rising whirlwind.

Cologne fell off her staff, jaw gaping open.  She stayed down
only a moment.  She quickly hopped up and made her way down to
where the red-head was standing.

Ranma-chan turned to see Cologne coming at her, hopping with her
staff.  She smiled and said.  "How's it going old mummy?"

Cologne swung her staff at the girl's head.  It was stopped about
eight inches away from the redhead's face.  Ranma-chan was
holding two fingers together in a vertical position in front of
her, at about the same distance as the staff.

Cologne was stunned.  Even she could not get in an attack on the
girl.

Ranma-chan giggled.  "Nice to see you too, Cologne."

The Amazon elder spoke.  "Who taught you those attacks?"

The redhead smiled.  She motioned for the others to come over.  
They had spent most of the time laughing at the entire scene.

"You will Cologne, those and many more.  Seventy years from now."

Washu's holo-computer appeared in front of her.  "Time to go
everyone."  She pressed a button that lit up upon her touch.

Under the collected girls' feet a bright white disc appeared and
they fell into it, and then the Discs themselves vanished,
leaving nothing but blacked patches of earth where each had been
a moment before.

Just then, the guide came running into the village.  He saw the
destruction and realized he was too late to warn anyone.  He
walked over to Cologne.  "So they were here too huh?"

Cologne nodded.  "Who were they?"

The guide shrugged his shoulders, and they continued to stare at
the burn marks until Cologne's daughter landed on them, and they
all passed out.

So what did you think?

I don't have any prereaders but I might go looking for some.

Chapter two will be out shortly.  I need to finish writing
Epiphany Chapter 7 first though.

Any C&C you can provide will be welcomed.  Thanks
