This is the standard disclaimer that all fanfics get. The characters of Ranma ½ belong to Rumiko Takakashi. The characters of Sailor Moon belong to Naoko Takeuchi. This is all for non-profit reasons, so please don't sue me. I don't have enough to make it worth while anyway. And now on with the story. Note: I know Ranma is acting out of character. The reasons why will be explained in memories and flashbacks throughout the story. Also, in this story I'm throwing all of the Inner Senshi into Juuban high. They are all the same age as Ranma, about 17. Tomas is 19, but has been out of school since his parents' death, about two years, so he is in the same grade as Ranma. I'm also making Hotaru 15 in this, but she goes to a different school. This is an alternate Sailor Moon universe, bet the changes are pretty much in age. In the Ranma Time-line it is about 14 months after the bombed wedding. For the Sailor Moon universe this is somewhere between Sailor Moon S and Sailor Moon SS. This is NOT an SI fic. From Weird to Weirder A Ranma ½ and Sailor Moon Crossover By: Tomas Megerson. Send C & C and flames to nighthawktm@yahoo.com Chapter 3 The Youma Comes to Play Tomas was enjoying himself. It was his first day at school and already he had a beautiful girl on his arm. When she pointed out her friends he felt his luck come in. He was going to be eating lunch with five beautiful women, not just one. He wasn't a pervert. In fact no perverted thoughts had entered his mind. He just loved the jealous looks he'' get from the guys because of this. All of a sudden his danger sense kicked in again. "Rei, get out of here now! All hells about to break loose!" "What are you talk..." her last words were cut off by a huge growl. A giant, ugly youma had appeared in front of them. Fortunately its back was facing them. One of its clawed arms suddenly ripped forward. Rei turned to yell at Tomas to run, but he wasn't there. ********************************************************************* Minako saw the claw coming at her and knew she was dead. As her death descended on her time seemed to slow down. It seemed to inch toward her. When it was but a few feet away the view seemed to shift. She felt her body tip and could no longer see the youma. As she watched the outer wall come closer time returned to normal. The claw was driven into the ground and she was sitting behind someone. Someone in a denim jacket to be exact. She recognized it from the morning's meeting with the two strange boys. Her eyes went dreamy and started to flash little hearts. ********************************************************************** Tomas saw the clawed arm draw back and knew there had to be a living target at the end. Considering the fact that there were four gorgeous women on the other side of the monster, Tomas knew that he had to move fast. Seeing that the wall surrounding the school would stop him from cutting right (not to mention Rei was on that side of him), he cut left and headed toward the creature's target. It was the blonde with the normal hair cut. He reached her when the claws on the beast were only a bit more than a yard away. He scooped her into his arms and sprang toward the corner of the wall. He then turned to face the monster that had ruined his lunch period. It was blinking in confusion, sure that it had a kill, and now wondering where its victim had disappeared to. Looking past the beast, he saw all the girls in shock. "Rei, get everyone out of here! I can protect the blonde but not if I have to save all of you too! MOVE!" The monster turned toward him with an evil grin that would do any bad guy justice. Tomas saw that the girls were finally moving and heading toward Rei who was starring at him with a shocked face. Then the youma charged. **************************************************************************** The other three girls stared at the spot Minako was at before Tomas moved her. When Makoto heard Tomas's call to get Rei and get out of there she came back to reality. The Youma turned toward Minako and Tomas when he called out, so Makoto shoved the others at Rei and started to run towards her. When they reached Rei's side she explained her plan. "Its simple, the quicker we get out of here the quicker we transform and the quicker we can save them." Rei was about to reply when a gut wrenching scream tore through the air. Looking at the fight they all gasped. In one voice both Ami and Usagi explained everyone's thoughts. "I think I'm going to be sick." Tomas was in front of Minako, who was busy loosing her lunch. He had a self-satisfied smirk on his face and was in a tight defensive stance. He was busy admiring his handy work. The scream had come from the youma. Its right arm was now nothing more than a stub near the shoulder. The rest of the arm was currently shoved through the youma's other shoulder. The girls decided that this was a good time to leave and headed toward the school. There they hoped to find an empty room so they could transform into their Senshi identities. Unfortunately the unexpected happened. "The door's locked. Now what do we do? We can't get in." "Don't worry Mako-chan. The boy can't see us here. Lets transform right now." Usagi was getting worried. The fact that the boy was smiling at what he had done to the youma didn't sit well with her. It was almost as if he had enjoyed it. It was too bad that Ami had to spoil her plan. "We can't transform here Usagi. They put people to watch from the windows. If we transform they'll know our identities." Ami paused to think and came up with the only solution she could. "Everyone, there's a dumpster in an alley three blocks from here. We could transform behind it." Hope came back to Usagi's eyes. They still had a chance to save their friend and the guy who had saved her before. "Well, what are we waiting for? Lets go! Ready everyone?" "Lets do it!" cried Makoto. "Ready to go" said Ami. "......" Rei was missing. Makoto looked around for a moment and spotted her. She was already out the gate and heading down the street. They all took after her trying to catch up. ***************************************************************************** Tomas gritted his teeth and spit out the blood that was in his mouth. He was getting trashed and didn't like it one bit. The youma attacked again. Tomas put up a successful defense this time. He dodged the first two blows, blocked the next three (getting a viscous cut on his arm in the process) and then making a successful counter attack imbedding it into the school wall. For this breather he reflected on how things got out of hand. Unfortunately he was a bit late on that self-advice. He never noticed the blast the monster sent at him until it hit. The blast threw him back and aggravated his injured are and ribs causing him to drop to his knees in pain. He let out an agonizing scream as the pain flared through him. The youma, seeing him no longer moving, leapt in for the kill. ******************************************************************************* Minako was scared. Not for her own life. Not of the youma in front of her. These were normal things for Sailor Venus. She was use to them by now. She was scared for the young man trying to protect her. He was battered, bruised, cut, and showed no signs of stopping until he was dead. When he threw the youma into the wall and it stopped moving she thought it was over. She closed her eyes to give a prayer of thanks to the kami and missed seeing the monster throw the energy blast. She noticed it the same time Tomas did, when it hit him. Minako shrunk back at the sound of his scream. Then the youma lunged at them, and she was sure her hero was dead. "MOUKO TAKABISHA!" ******************************************************************************* Ranma was in a peaceful, deep sleep. He was having no dreams that he would later recall, but there was a slight smile on his lips. The shaking of the room woke him, mostly because it caused him to fall out of his chair. Looking around he noticed the room was empty. He was still pondering this fact when he heard an explosion. Even as he moved to the window to see what was happening, a terrible scream reached his ears. He reached the window in time to see the youma leap towards his friend who wasn't even moving. Ranma leapt out the window letting loose with one of his favorite attacks. "MOUKO TAKABISHA!" A ball of bright blue ki shot from his hands and slammed into the youma driving it into the ground right in front of Tomas. Ranma watched as Tomas slowly get up and move to place himself between the creature and a girl. "Ranma, be careful! That things tough! Just buy me a few minuets to rest and we can take it out together." "Okay, I'll see what I can do." He turned back to the creature in time to dodge the energy blast that was coming at him. Ranma chose to take the fight to the youma and moved into battle. He dodged, ducked, and jumped over the club that was being wielded by the creature. Seeing an opening he slid inside the monster's defenses. "KATCHU TENSHIN ARMAGURIKAN!" Ranma cut loose with over 500 punches in less then a second. The force of it drove the ugly beast back into the hole Tomas originally created with it. It was then that Tomas appeared at his side. "Thanks for the save back there. Listen, I've got an idea that's so crazy it might work." "You know the last time you told me that we had fifty people chasing us out of a town in china." "Yeah, but this time its different. We have a demon chasing us instead." "So what's your glorious plan?" Ranma was beyond scared now. His friend was smiling, and it wasn't an 'I'm happy smile' either. "You remember when we first met?" Ranma was close to panic. "You recall how the fight ended?" He was now prepared to bolt. "Let's do it again." Now Ranma was afraid. "AGAIN!? Are you nuts?!" "Yes and yes, but you should know that by now. You told me so yourself often enough." "The last, not to mention only, time we did that it almost killed the both of us! And you want to do it again?! With your arm mangled like that?!" "Look, Ranma, either I bleed to death, ugly over there kills me, or I die in the attack. What do I have to loose? At least this way I'm going down fighting." Ranma looked at his friends face and saw what was there. A determination to win no matter what. Deep in the eyes, he could tell Tom was calculating the chance that he will survive. The front of the eyes showed that the odds didn't mean a thing to him. He would not loose and even death wouldn't stop him. Ranma sighed. "Okay, lets it. Try to lure it as far from the school as you can. I'll start circling." The youma pulled itself from the wall and turned to face the boys. Ranma moved in what seemed like a flanking maneuver while Tomas took a defensive stance. Minako wondered what was going on. Seeing Tomas wounded and alone, the youma attacked him with a fury. Tomas dodged the attacks and countered enough to make sure that the youma wasn't moving from its spot. As he did this he gathered as much heat as he could from his surroundings. As soon as he finished this he tapped into the astral plane and gathered the mystic flames. Even as Tomas did this, Ranma started running circles around the two combatants. Every lap he brought himself closer to the two. Ranma concentrated on keeping his emotions cool and his fist cold. "NOW!" He brought himself behind the creature and slammed his cold fist into its back. At the same time Tomas drove his two flaming fists into the youma's chin. "HIRYU SHOTEN HAAAAAA!!!!!" "PHOENIX RISING INFERNOOOOOO!!!!!" ********************************************************************************* The sailor scouts where a block away when the attacks went off. They stopped and stared in shock as a tornado made of pure fire tore into existence. Over a minuet and a half later it finally died out. A minuet after that they got their bodies working and sprinted toward the school. The youma, Ranma, and Tomas were gone. Minako was in a corner of the yard staring into space. They tried to question her, but all she could do was point over the east wall and mumble something about that way and being in love. Exchanging a glance, the other Senshi hopped over the east wall and tried to fallow. ******************************************************************************** "Man this hurts. Only good thing is that the attack sealed my open wounds." Tomas was in pain. As he and Ranma roof-hopped toward the hospital, he was leaning heavily on his friend. "Don't talk Tomas. You don't have the strength for it. The hospital should only be a mile or so ahead." Ranma was a bit on the crisp side but otherwise okay. He was doing most of the work. "Hey, I wonder what everyone below us is saying, what with us glowing." Both of their battle auras where flared up to help keep them moving fast. Ranma was glowing blue where Tomas was red. Tomas's was very faint, however. "Ah, they're probably talking about angles or some such thing." "Stop right there, demons!" "Well, Ranma, that blows that theory." Tomas studied the people in front of him. There were three women in sailor suits with ridiculously short skirts. All of them looked too old to be dressing in such an outfit. One had short blonde hair and looked almost mannish in appearance. Well, if one didn't look below the neck, anyway. The next had long light green hair in waves. The last had long dark green hair. All three of them had the look of seasoned fighters. Ranma, on the other hand, was looking behind them. He could feel some power sources heading straight at them and fast. "Hey, brother, we got to make this quick. More of them are coming up behind us. We could handle these three, but if any more come we're toast. Got any more plans up your sleeve?" Tomas didn't bother to reply. His eyes were closed and his aura brightening. He was once more gathering the flames of the astral plane. Ranma realized what was happening and moved behind his friend. He wrapped his hands around Tomas's waist to help steady him. He then sent a quick prayer to any Kami that might be watching so that his friend might survive his attack. The blonde in front of them smirked. "Hiding behind your injured comrade isn't going to save you, scum. WORLD SHAKING!" "DEEP SUBMERGE!" Ranma quickly countered with one of his newer moves. "STAR SHIELD!" A blue ki shield appeared before them. The combined attacks slammed into the shield and knocked them back to the edge of the building. The shield held, however, and neither one of the boys was hurt. Ranma dropped the shield just as Tomas opened his eyes. The flames were raging inside of him. Tomas could feel their power burn in his soul. He prepared his counter attack and smirked right back at the girls. "Not to bad, girls. No where near good enough, but still not to bad. Maybe you'd like a taste of what I'm capable of." He reached into his soul and drew forth the flames from within. Directing the energy to form under the girls who were staring at him, he released the energy straight up. "PHOENIX FIREWALL ARISE!" A wall of mystical flames tore up from under the three outer scouts. Even as they started to scream in pain, Tomas collapsedd into Ranma's arms from the exertion, totally exhausted. Ranma only spared a moment to look in the flames at the three figures and then turned north carrying his best friend away from those who would harm them. ******************************************************************************** Next time: The chase is on! Scouts wanting revenge, Martial Artists wanting a place to heal their wounds and aliens who want just one thing. And guess who Ranma's grandfather is.
