I wonder if you'll still appreciate it after you get it? I'm slowly
I doubt I wouldn't.
catching up at work and don't feel like moving on to the next project, so
you get lucky!
Cool!

Takahashi.
Hm... No sailor senshi in the tag line, and no disclaimer for the series.
Maybe, the title is meant to through me off?
Actually more like me forgetting type it in ^_^;
--------------------------------------------
Ranma stared incredulously at the girl in front of him. She had
short blue hair in a style similar to Akane's, though they were not
alike in any other way.
KP: 'alike' implies to me more than physical appearance. Which implies he
knows this girl.
I'll see if it can be changed.
The day had already become strange the moment he saw a black cat
with a moon-shaped tattoo on its forehead trying to talk with him. Or
at least it sounded that way while he was running away as fast as he
could from the sight of true terror. One could never tell in those
types of situations.
KP: Hmmm crescent moon cat, maybe this is influence by the scouts after
all.
Heh
Then, when he was trying to catch his breath from all that
running, a strange girl carrying a small computer approached him. She
said that she was relaying from someone else important information
regarding the pigtailed martial artist. Having heard what she had to
say, Ranma was, to say the very least, shocked.
KP: "She said that she was relaying from someone else important
information
regarding the pigtailed martial artist."
This sentence is a bit convoluted. I'd at least move the 'from someone
else' to the end.
Will cut that part. The sentence sounds better without it.
"That's 'scouts', Ranma," Ami corrected. "Actually, we prefer to
be called 'senshi'."
KP: By whom? American fanboys with a penchant for using Japanese they
really don't understand. ^_^
Of course! ^_^
"That's what the signs emitting from you seem to showing." Ami
points at her computer and adds, "Also, your descriptions seem to match
those of a Sailor from the Silver Millennium."
KP: should description be plural?
No. Changed.
"Wait!" The senshi desperately tried to think of something to
say that would bring Ranma back. "Becoming a Sailor can cure most of
your problems."
KP: Ranma has problems?
Quite a few ^_^
Those words caused Ranma to halt, his interest suddenly piqued.
Turning back towards the blue-haired girl, he asked, "Will it be able
to solve my fiancee situation?"
KP: Ginrai. A group marriage. It's the best solution!
Ranma: But think how the guy in the marriage would feel after a few
months of that!
"Most likely not." Before Ranma could do anything, she said,
"But it can help in slowly curbing and curing your fear of cats. And
during the periods when you're a Sailor, you won't be noticed by
others or affected by your Jusenkyo curse."
Right away Ranma was beside her. "Where do I sign up?"
KP: That was easy.
She said the magic words ^_^
Ami smiled. "I'm glad you agreed. Now I just have to find your
name." The short-haired girl turned to her computer and started
searching through it. "Now, lets see... which one are you.... Sailor
Earth? Nah, too easy. Sailor Sun? No, you'd burn up.... Aha! I've
found it!"
And thus Sailor Toutatis had returned.
KP: Toutatis!?!?! Maybe Rak was right be wary of this fic-p
Heh
***
"Wow!" Ranma exclaimed, "This Sailor'ing stuff is pretty easy!"
For a moment there she was worried that she'd have to transform.
KP: Heh
Always looking out for the most important thing....
Sailor Moon paused and stood still, as if she was hearing
something from somewhere else. "Just got some word from Luna. She
says that you're supposed to transform before fighting the Youma."
KP: "Just got some word". Feels like something is missing.
Maybe if I change 'some word' with 'a message' it'll sound better?
"Yeah, well... you see.... It's that, every time we transform,
the path towards Crystal Tokyo gets one step closer. Kind of like
those credit card plans where when you buy something, you get special
bonus points." Sailor Moon started to sniffle. "Except, when I
finally got enough points to buy the dress I wanted, they said my
points already expired! THOSE BIG MEANI-- OW!" She turned around to
see who was it that knocked her on the head.
KP: If you're going to use an analogy, or a saying. It must be Minako.
How else can you
parody things correctly if you don't. -_-;; Although I did like this.
Not sure if Minako would have worked well here (not much of a crybaby).
Ranma blinked at the scene in front of her before saying, "Oh...
okay." She had no idea what the other girl was talking about, but from
the sound of it, it seemed important. 'Guess I'll have to be a guy
next time.' Sighing, she said, "I'll transform during the next fight."
KP: "Guess, I'll have to be a guy..." I'm confused.
You'll see....
***
Ranma ran as fast as she could from the Youma chasing her, bottle
of warm water gripped in one hand. 'Just my luck to be the nearest to
it! Course I end up forgetting to transform. Or change into a guy for
that matter....' Lamenting on her situation, she was now trying to get
as much space between her and the Youma as possible.
KP: I think I understand now.
Yup ^_^
"Halt, vile creature! For in the name of whatever the hell is
Toutatis, I shall punish you!" Ranma decided from that point on he
would never say the speech again. 'All right, big, bad and ugly, time
to get destroyed, Saotome-style!'
KP: So if Ranma transforms as a girl, will she still be a girl?
He's still a guy at the moment. Just that Toutatis' costume only
consists of a mini-skirt, etc.
"Well... I did know who you were," Ranma said, trying to laugh
heartily, hoping that Ukyou wouldn't say anything else about it.
Seeing the spatula on her back, and knowing that any hits from it would
be stronger at the moment, made him realize that it was for the best to
not tell her the only reason he knew was because she called out his
name.
KP: Spatula. Now that's not a good disquise.
Thankfully only other Senshi would realize it was Ukyou. The disguise
field is that good ^_^
He suddenly realized something. 'Wait a minute, if Ucchan's a
senshi, then could the others....'
KP: Groans... ohh boy.
It has only begun ^_^
***
First was when she went to bed, only to find out too late that it
was covered in noodles. Along with it was a note saying that even
after being slept on it would taste better than her cooking.
KP: Heh.
Just a prelude to the token Akane vs. Shampoo fight.
Sailor Arrakis, aka Shampoo, and Sailor Deneb, aka Akane, have
met again, for the first time.
KP: Bwahaha.
Something like that was bound to happen ^_^
***
"No." Before Ranma could exhale, Mamoru continued, "They were
all lesbians." The pigtailed boy stared back at him, as if he was
trying his hardest not to comprehend what was just said. 'He seemed to
take that well.'
KP: ...
Ranma: At least they're no longer lesbians.
"Oh, that one's easy. You died in a suicide attack, causing one
of Beryl's ships to explode. The other three were on the ship, arguing
over who had the right to stay and die with you."
"You know... I'm _not_ surprised anymore."
KP: Me either.
Not many were surprised by that.
"Oh, yeah, and it seems that afterwards Tuxedo Betelgeuse was
lamenting over the tragedy and that you died while pregnant with his
child."
KP: DPSR..... ask Rak.
Heh, Dead Pregnant Sailor Ranma?
Mamoru took a few steps back so as to prevent himself from again
being at the other end of Ranma's grip. "Though he does tend to
exaggerate things a bit; actually a lot. That and he was rather
obsessed for Sailor Toutatis." Closing his eyes, he slowly began to
remember bits of his past. "It is strange that I'm unable to remember
much about him. But it does seem that we had secret meetings for
bokken practice." Though he could only vaguely recall it, Mamoru did
know that it included some very special techniques, such as the
'Thrust! Thrust! Thrust!' technique, or the 'Backdoor Shove', to the
very special 'Deep Penetration and Jerk'.
KP: I usually hear it as "obsessed with"
Changed
KP: Did Corwin help with this?
It was Corwin-influenced and, while completing this, I did ask for some
suggestions (the first technique was his idea).
"Hmm... seems that you've had a secret (as far as the other girls
and Betelgeuse went) relationship with Sailor Algol. Though I have no
idea who, if she was even reincarnated, that is at this point."
KP: Yes. We all know Ranma wants to ditch Akane as quickly as possible
and
bed down with any anime chick from anohter series...unless
Algol is cologne-chan...
Well... ^_^;
Ranma wasn't so sure if he wanted to know.
***
A loud cough caught everyone's attention. "Well, I'm not one for
huge speeches, especially when others are in trouble. But, never fear,
for Sailor Algol is here!"
Still looking around to find the source of the voice, everyone,
including the Youma, found themselves eying a small figure near an
alley.
Raising a pen above her, Cologne incanted the words to begin her
transformation. As she began to spin around, the others were able to
see her nude form, even with all the flashing lights surrounding her.
Once complete, all saw Sailor Algol in her true glory, still old along
with a skirt that didn't cover enough.
KP: Eww... this just gets more and more... ewww.... I swear I didn't read
ahead when I called who
this would be...
Hehehe
While all this was happening, Ranma stood still, eyebrows
twitching every few seconds. Taking a deep breath, she said, "Okay,
_that's it_! I've had it!" Turning around, still covered in goo, she
walked away, saying, "Find some other idiot to take this abuse!"
KP: Now does Ranma run away and get together with a cool anime babe?
Well... not quite.
***
"At last!" she exclaimed joyously. "I have found our legendary
hero!"
"Who," Ranma said, backing away, "are you?"
Brushing away her lovely locks, she answered, "I'm Tsunami,
Sorceress of Baldscalp. And you," she said, pointing at the pigtailed
boy, "are our destined warrior...."
KP: YOU DID STEAL FROM CORWIN. AH, my eyes. My eyes>_<
Seemed like a good idea ^_^
***
--------------------------------------------
Don't ask how I ended up getting this idea.... Just, don't ask.
Was a fic I started on a LONG time ago (actually wrote 15k of it in one
night). Have no idea why I was suddenly in the mood to actually finish
this. Probably writer's block....
Though Corwin can be partially blamed for my sudden interest with
finishing this ^_^
KP: and much more it seems.
For a few scenes....
No one was tortured into prereading this ^_^
KP: it just sort of happened during reading...
Heh
Btw, the names are real (I think) and were the result of searching the
net for all of five minutes:
Algol - Part of the constellation Perseus. Means 'the ghoul'.
Arrakis - Part of the constellation Draco. Means 'dancer'.
Betelgeuse - Part of the constellation Orion. Arabic for 'the armpit
of the mighty one'.
Deneb - The brightest star in the constellation Cygnus. Arabic for
'the tail of the hen'.
Gienah - Part of the constellation Corvus. Means 'wing'.
Toutatis - Asteroid whose orbit is from just inside Earth's orbit to
the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Named after a Celtic
god.
And Tsunami, the Sorceress of Baldscalp, is from that memorable fic by
Corwin, 'Masters of Jurai'.
Oh, and in other news, 'No Need for Ranma' chapter 2 is around 70k at
the moment, though nowhere near complete. Times like these that I wish
I had Brian's speed in writing ^_^;
KP: Don't we all. A somewhat enjoyable read. Definitely high in shock
value. Good job!
Thanks! And yeah, a lot of us would have liked to have that writing
speed.
Thanks for the C&C, KP, and again sorry for the huge delay.
