Description:  Monsters arrive in Nerima.  Graphic bloodiness ensues
and Ranma is totally useless in the splatterfest.  

Comments:  

Annoying non-Ascii characters scattered through the story.  

Whoever had gotten Shampoo could probably tear a poorly-trained 
Policeman to

Don't capitalise "policeman".  And since it's Ranma "cop" would
probably be better anyway.  

The three quickly
surrounded Soun's body when they realized he was the one in need of 
immediate
medical attention, the younger girl obviously dead.

Delete "younger".  She is, after all, the eldest of the girls.  

Horror is the literature of victimisation, but you've taken that 
quite a bit farther than I like.  Ranma just stands around 
ineffectually while people die.  He hasn't even looked into
the wave of disappearances.  There is one thing that would 
vastly improve this story for a start.  Let Ranma "rescue"
Kasumi and Akane.  Let him do _something_.

for a story.

Description:  An alternate Ranma from the pre-shogunate period is once 
again convinced that his wife Kodachi is faking her soul's replacement
by an Akane from the 20th century.  Akane is upset to learn 
that "Ranko" is really Ranma or sometimes his sister Nabiki...I think.  
Meanwhile Kodachi seems to be running around in Akane's ancestor's body. 
Or something.  There's also something about Nabiki getting fake- 
engaged to a samurai she thinks is a peasant to avoid Kuno's affections. 
 I swear it makes General Hospital look straightforward.  

Comments:  

wanted the truth she presented to be a lie. "Lock her up
*somewhere*, but I have overly suggested that to you,

already

Interestingly, Akane has been catapulted into the losing side
of the war to unify Japan.  It doesn't bode well for her long
term prospects.  I'm sort of disappointed that Akane's
"surprise move" was a total bust.  Is that because you wanted
the fight to be a total blowout, or because you have no idea
what Yama Arashi does?

Comments:

       I alight on the short wall next to my target, then drop onto my 
butt,
arranging my skirt to provide minimal distraction.  That done, 
`Miyamura-san,
I need your help.'

That done, I say, 

       `It will startle them.  If they're bulletproof, it should knock 
them
back.  If they're not,' I let myself fade off.

       `I'll see what I can do, Sailor . . . ' he fades off.

Don't repeat yourself that way.  

      `I will do my best.  Thank you, for protecting all of us,' he
practically gushes, bowign deeply.

bowing

Oh if I had a rocket launcher...

Description:  A team of angelically powered superheros fight
demons.  Hey...wait a second.  Is this a game of In Nomine?

Comments:  

"Um... I guess so," Reiya mumbled, her eyes still wide. Was this power 
of
hers the same as what she could do? Why wasn't she the only one? The

Very unclear grammar.   

Perhaps:  

Were their powers from the same source?  Why hadn't she ever 
considered that she might not be alone...unique?  

Nice comic book action sequences.
