				  Twilight of the New Senshi
					   Part 2

                                                                      BY:

	Everyone was silent in shock after the announcement that Helios had just said.  The fox 
just stared back at the group with what appeared to be a smile to his face.  After several minutes 
of silence, Nabiki was the first to get her voice back and asked the question that was on 
everyone’s mind.

	“What did you mean by that?  How are we these Star Senshi?”  Nabiki asked.

	“I will explain with the help of the others.”  Helios replied.

	“Others?”  Everyone said.

	Just then, five more foxes entered the house and made their way to the group.  One was 
all black in color, another was black with blue highlights, another was red in color but had strange 
neon green marks on its tail, while another was neon blue with silver highlights, and the last one 
was red with white markings.  They all sat in front of the group, next to Helios, and Helios started 
introducing them.

	“This is Achilies, Polyarch, Myria, Sirius, and Orion.”  Helios said and each of the foxes 
nodded their head when their name was said and said hello.

	“Who are all of you?”  Nabiki asked.

	“They are the advisors for the members of the Star Senshi.”  Ryoga’s fox form replied, 
surprising everyone again.

	“Ryoga?”  Everyone asked shocked.

	“You can talk?”  Steve asked looking at Ryoga.

	“I’m not really Ryoga, but he is here with me.”  Ryoga’s fox form replied.

	“Who are you?”  Steve asked.

	“I am the spirit of the fox that drowned in the pool in Jusenkyo.”  Ryoga’s fox form 
replied.

	“But how …” Steve asked.

	“You can think of it as a split personality.  When Ryoga is in this form, I am the stronger 
personality and it’s the opposite when Ryoga is in his normal form.”

	“So who are you?”  Nabiki asked.

	“Let’s just say that Stack is good at naming people.” 

	 “What do you mean?”  Steve asked.

	“My name is Haiyashi.”  Haiyashi replied smiling at Steve’s shocked face.

	“Is Ryoga comfortable with that?”  Steve asked when he was able to talk again.

	“Me and him came to an understanding about it.”  Haiyashi replied.

	“As much as I want to know all about that, I still want to know what he meant by being 
able to help us out, and what did he mean that we are the Senshi of the Star Kingdom?”  Nabiki 
asked interrupting the discussion about Haiyashi and getting back on track.

	“To be technical here, you all are the reborn versions of the Senshi of the Star Kingdom.”  
Helios replied.

	“How can that be?”  Nabiki asked.

	“During the fall of the Star Kingdom and the Moon Kingdom, the King of the Star 
Kingdom used all of his strength and power to send the souls of the Star Kingdom Senshi to be 
reborn in the future when they would be needed again.”  Helios replied.

	“How can I be of the Star Kingdom Senshi, I’m the Moon Princess?”  Usagi asked 
confused.

	“What do you remember of the past?”  Helios asked.

	“Only what my Mother, Luna, and Artemis have told me, and what of my memories 
came back to me.”  Usagi replied.

	“So what do you remember or know about the Star Kingdom?”  Helios asked.

	Usagi then proceeded to tell everyone what she knew of the Star Kingdom.  She began by 
telling them what Queen Serenity told her in a dream by the enemy they were going to face would 
be stronger then one group of Senshi could handle, that help was going to be needed.  Talking to 
Luna and Artemis, they were saying that the Star Kingdom was the people running the new 
monster attacks.  Usagi knew that couldn’t be true since her mother had told her to get their help.  
Then finding out what happened between the two Kingdoms from the Moon Kingdoms point of 
view.  Then finally being told about a twin sister and what happened to her before the fall of both 
of the Kingdoms.

	When Usagi mentioned what the Moon Cats had said, all the foxes started chuckling at 
what was said.  When the foxes stopped chuckling, they explained how each side had their own 
opinion and how it seemed hilarious to hear what the other side was saying.  When they were 
done talking, they started talking to Usagi to answer the question that she had.

	“To answer your question, you stated that you are the daughter of the Moon and Star 
Kingdoms with a twin sister, correct?”  Helios asked.

	“Yes, but what …” Usagi started to ask but Helios continued on.

	“You also said that King Appollyon took one of his children to his Kingdom, correct?”

	“Yes …” Usagi started to say but didn’t know what was going on.

	“I think I see where the fox is going with this.”  Nabiki stated.

	“You do, what?”  Usagi asked her in confusion.

	“But first, where is her twin sister?”  Nabiki asked the foxes.

	“Her location has not been verified yet.”  Sirius answered Nabiki.

	“You don’t know where she is at?”  Nabiki asked.

	“We have not seen her yet.”  Sirius replied.

	“I think what the foxes are offering,” Nabiki said to Usagi.  “Since your twin is missing, 
you fill her role, since your ‘Father’ could have taken you instead of her.  You both can access 
each others powers.”

	“That is correct Nabiki.”  Helios said.  “We knew you’d be able to figure it out.”

	“So you are saying …” Usagi started to say.

	“Usagi, you are the Moon Princess and the Star Princess.  Without your sister here to fill 
her role and you need a cover so your friends don’t recognize you, you play your sister’s role.”  
Nabiki said and saw that Usagi had started thinking about it.

	“I got a question.”  Steve asked out, drawing the fox’s attention.  “Isn’t the Senshi of the 
Star Kingdom female?”

	“They were the first and only group of female fighters that the Star Kingdom backed.”  
Helios replied.

	“Then how can Red and I be part of that group?”  Steve asked, drawing Ranma’s 
attention to the answer.

	“That is easy to explain.  Both of your curse forms are of the Senshi of the Star 
Kingdom.”  Polyarch replied to Steve.  That cause both Ranma and Steve to start thinking also.

	“So how can we be these Senshi you are talking about?”  Akane asked.

	“We need to awaken the powers that are in all of you.”  Helios said.

	“How can you do that?”  Usagi asked.

	“Haiyashi, you got it?”  Helios asked.

	“Yes.”  Haiyashi said.

	Haiyashi then made his way over to Ryoga’s backpack.  He opened a pocket and started 
going through it.  After a few moments, he pulled out a cloth pouch and made his way back to the 
group.  He walked over to Usagi and dropped the pouch in front of her and sat with the other 
foxes.  Usagi reached down and picked the pouch up looking at it.  When she opened the pouch 
up and reached in, she pulled out a round, yellow gem, looking at it in confusion.  Helios told her 
that it was the Sun Stone, the Star Kingdom version of her crystal from the Moon Kingdom.

	Usagi stared wide-eyed at it as the others asked the foxes how Ryoga came to acquire it.  
Haiyashi told them that Ryoga volunteered to be it’s guardian until it could be given to its proper 
owner.  When Usagi said she wasn’t the proper owner, the foxes said that she was the next one in 
line until her sister shows up to claim it.  Usagi then relented and asked how to awaken 
everyone’s powers.  She was told all she had to do was concentrate on it and it would do all the 
rest.  So Usagi closed her eyes and started to concentrate on the gem.  Everyone watched as the 
gem started to glow and started to glow so bright that everyone had to close their eyes.


USAGI DREAMSCAPE

	Usagi stopped concentrating as she felt that something was different around her.  She 
opened her eyes and expected to see everyone, but only saw a white void.  Started to wonder what 
was going on, she started to look around to see where she was.  After looking around for a few 
minutes, the only thing she saw was a full length mirror that appeared to be really old looking.  
She also noticed that she was wearing her Princess Serenity gown and that her hair was back to 
her usual style.  With nothing better to do, since she didn’t know what to do to get out of where 
she was she walked over to the mirror to get a better look at it.

	When she was at the mirror, she got a better look at it, the mirror did indeed look like an 
antique and that it should be in a museum or an antique store.  As she was looking at it, she got a 
nagging feeling that something was wrong at what she was seeing.  After a few moments, she 
figured out what it was that was nagging her, the image in the mirror had the wrong color scheme 
going on.  After checking to make sure everything was right on her, blond hair, silver dress with 
gold edging, she looked at her image again.  She was correct that the image was off, silver hair, 
with a gold dress with silver edging.

	As she was looking at her image, she noticed something was a little off.  So she leaned in 
a little closer to see if she could see what was wrong.  When she was almost touching the mirror, 
the image suddenly kissed her on the nose.  Usagi was so surprised at what happened that she 
stumbled backwards until she was able to get her balance again.  When she had gained her 
balance, she could hear someone laughing, and to her, it sounded familiar.  She looked in the 
direction of the laughing was coming from and saw that it was the image in the mirror that was 
laughing.

	“Your expression, it was hilarious.”  The image said in between taking some breaths.

	“Who are you?”  Usagi asked.  Usagi suddenly saw the image step out of the mirror and 
walked over to her.

	“Guess.”  The image said and Usagi noticed that the image person had started to look 
downwards.

	As Usagi was thinking about who the person in front of her is, she also kept wondering 
why the person is looking downward.  So she decided to follow the persons gaze and noticed that 
the person was looking at her cleavage that was showing, due to the style cut of her dress.  She 
used her hands to cover her cleavage and took a few steps back.  The person in front of her 
realized that her view was gone and looked back up at Usagi.  It was at that point that Usagi took 
a guess at who was in front of her.

	“Solona?”  Usagi asked, somewhat unsure of the answer.  She was surprised when the 
person grabbed her into a hug and squealed when the person started spinning her around.  After 
she was set back down, she saw that the person was smiling at her as the person left her arms 
around Usagi’s waist.

	“Yep, how are you sister?”  Solona asked.  Usagi suddenly felt Solona caressing her butt 
and she quickly got out of Solona’s arms and stood a few feet away with a small blush to her 
cheeks.

	“Hey, cut that out.”  Usagi said and then a thought came to her.  “You’re not that way are 
you?”

	Usagi then saw Solona become serious and sat down on the ground and offered for Usagi 
to sit down also.  After a moment of hesitation, she sat down across from her sister.  After the few 
minutes of silence between the two, Solona started talking.

	“No, sis, I’m what you call ‘Bi’.”  Solona replied to her sister.

	“You are?”  Usagi said surprised and then started feeling a little nervous being near her.

	“It comes from the way I grew up.”  Solona said.

	“What happened?”

	“It was tough being the princess to the King.  Trying to find someone to love was hard 
when the men that was around were only interested in were two things.  Either getting between 
my legs or using me to get a chance at the Throne.  So I went and found love with the only people 
I knew that would love me back.”

	“Your fellow Senshi.”

	“Yes, my fellow Senshi.  We fell together after being the only female fighter group in the 
Star Kingdom, but it wasn’t Love in that sense, but more of a family love that made us come 
together.  But for your information, the only one of us that was ‘that’ was, as you put it, was 
Astrea, and that was because her father wanted a son and got a daughter instead.”

	“I’m sorry.”

	“Don’t be, you had nothing to do with that.”  Solona replied to Usagi.  Silence happened 
after that for a few moments as Usagi felt sorry for her sister.  It was then that Usagi remembered 
what was really happening.

	“Solona, we need your help.”

	“I know, but I can’t be where you are at at the moment.”

	“Why, we really need you.”

	“I wish I could, but Fate, Destiny, or a Higher Power is preventing me from being there at 
the moment.”

	“What are we going to do?”

	“I hate to ask this of you, but until I am able to be there, I need you to stand by for me.”

	“But I’m not you; I’m not the Sun Princess.  I don’t know how to use your powers.”

	“We are twins; you are as much a Sun Princess as I am the Moon Princess.  The 
knowledge you need will come to you when you need it.”

	“But …”

	“You will help your friends out without them realizing it is you.”

	“Okay.”  Usagi said quietly.

	“Good, thank you Sis.”  Solona said and the both of them smiled.  “Now I just got to ask 
you something.”

	“What?”  Usagi asked, dreading the question.

	“How can you stand this hairstyle?”  Solona asked as she started to undo the hairstyle she 
was wearing.

	“It’s a good hairstyle.”  Usagi said, having a feeling to defend the hairstyle.

	“I guess, but I think it only looks good on you and Mother.  I just couldn’t stand it.”  
Solona said as she put it in a ponytail.

	“Now what so we do?”  Usagi asked.

	“Well, I think it’s time for you to go back to the real world.”

	“How do I do that?”

	“Well, to begin with, you need to close your eyes.”

	Usagi realizing that she had nothing better to try, so she closed her eyes and waited for 
Solona to tell her what to do next.  She heard Solona approach her and sensed her as she leaned 
next to her.  Solona then whispered in her ear that if she ever needed her, just to think of her.  
Usagi shivered when she felt Solona breath on her neck, but then jerked her eyes open when she 
felt Solona lick the edge of her ear.

	She expected to see her sister, but was surprised when she saw that she was back in the 
Tendo Dojo.  She looked around and saw the Sun Stone was still in her hand and she was dressed 
as she was before it all started.  Looking around the room, she saw that the foxes were looking 
over them with a concerned look and then noticed that the others that had a dazed look were 
slowly coming out of it.


KASUMI DREAMSCAPE

	Kasumi opened her eyes after a bit to see if the bright light was gone.  She fully opened 
her eyes when she saw that the bright light was gone, but was surprised when she found herself in 
an open meadow.  Looking around, she saw birds flying and singing, small land animals running 
around, felt a nice breeze blowing by, and small patches of clouds in the sky.  She was slowly 
losing herself to the serenity of the meadow as she twirled around.

	She came back to her senses when she started hearing flute music being played.  So she 
stopped twirling around and decided to find out who’s playing the flute.  When she got the 
direction that the flute playing was coming from, she walked towards it and after several minutes, 
she came upon a plateau.  Looking out on the plateau, near the end of it, she saw a person sitting 
on a stump with their back towards Kasumi.  Kasumi noticed that the person was female with 
long brown hair that was done in a ponytail that went down to the middle of her back.  The 
person was in a black outfit with a white sash around her waist.  But the item that surprised 
Kasumi the most was that the person had feathered wings.

	Since Kasumi enjoyed the song being played so much, she walked closer until she was a 
couple of feet away, and listened as the song was being played.  After a couple of minutes, the 
person stopped the song and Kasumi started clapping.

	“Thank you.”  The person said.  “Why don’t you have a seat next to me?”

	The person still had her back towards Kasumi as Kasumi slowly approached.  Kasumi 
had a nagging feeling as she thought that the person’s voice sounded familiar, but she still walked 
over towards the stump that was next to the person and sat down.  Once she had sat down, she 
took a look at the person.  The black outfit that the person was wearing looked to her like it was a 
ninja outfit that was skin tight and the mid section was like a mesh looking material, there was 
also the white sash that could be like a belt.  But the thing that got Kasumi surprised was that the 
person looked just like her.

	“Who are you?”  Kasumi asked.

	“My name is Angelica.”  Angelica replied.

	“You’re my past self those nice foxes were talking about.”  Kasumi said after thinking 
about it for a moment.

	“Very good, you are very perceptive.”  

	“Uh, thank you.”  Kasumi blushed a little bit at the compliment but then she noticed a 
slight difference in their personalities.  “But you don’t act like me.”

	“That is true; I didn’t have the same childhood experiences you had when you grew up.  
Where you gave up your childhood to take care of your family, my childhood was used to train to 
take care of threats to my kingdom.”

	“How did you know about that?”

	“I’m a part of you.  I see what you see, feel what you feel, and know what you know.”  
Angelica said and then noticed that Kasumi was blushing, so she decided to change the topic 
slightly.  “I want to ask you a question if it’s all right?”

	“Okay.”

	“Do you like the way you are right now, how your life is going?”

	“Well …” Kasumi started to replied but fell silent.

	“I want you to answer truthfully; I will know if you are lying to yourself.”  Angelica said 
and then watched Kasumi as she thought of her answer and then tried several times to answer 
what she wanted to say.

	“I don’t know.”  Kasumi said quietly.

	“Is it okay if I make some observations I’ve seen?”

	“Yes please.”

	“I’ve seen that at the age of nine, you had to suddenly become an adult, so your 
childhood was gone.  Then there is that doctor you have a crush on.”

	“What about him?”

	“You were thirteen when you first started falling for him and every time you are with 
him, he starts acting all goofy and stupid, much less he’s at least over ten years older than you.”

	“Um …” Kasumi tried to say something while blushing at what Angelica said.

	“Now onto your family.”

	“Uh …”

	“Let’s start with your father.  When your mother died, you stepped up and took control of 
handling your family, which should have been your father’s job, but he was nothing but an empty 
shell of a man.  He should have gotten therapy if nothing else to help support his family.

	“Then there is Nabiki.  She took over the finances of your family, which again should 
have been your father’s responsibility.  Then there is the way that she goes about getting said 
finances, of which you know about and turn a blind eye on it.  She into blackmailing people, 
extortion, pictures she takes that could be almost considered pornography, if not it really is, and 
placing bets on anything she can think of that will make her money, basically, she has made other 
peoples life hell so your family can survive.

	“Akane.  I won’t go into her since we both know about her problems with her anger and 
temper control, true it could have been started by that classmate of Nabiki’s, but that still isn’t a 
good excuse.  Also how many times have you had a talk with her about her anger and temper that 
she basically blew off.  Now with just these small points I pointed out, are you happy with your 
life?”

	“No, but we are doing our best with what we got and what we have to do to survive.”

	“I know, that, but in order to live past your mother’s death, you stopped being Kasumi 
and became the new Mother.”  Angelica said and noticed that she was slowly getting to Kasumi.  
“But I know that you have been getting stressed lately because of all the problems that keep 
coming up because of getting two free loaders, but at least one of them is now trying to contribute 
to helping the household.  Then there is the problems dealing with that ‘arranged’ marriage that 
your father had sprung on you and your sisters recently, which then brings into play the constant 
arguments and fighting between Ranma and Akane.  Am I correct in any of that?”

	“Yes.”

	“But I know of someone that has seen your troubled life and is trying to help you out, 
trying to bring ‘Kasumi” out of Kasumi.”

	“Stack?”

	“Yes, I think he sees also that you don’t need to be the ‘mother’ anymore, but to be a ‘big 
sister’ again.”

	“I don’t know how anymore.”  Kasumi said as she started to cry when she realized the 
truth in all that was said.

	Angelica reached over and pulled Kasumi to her and wrapped her arms around Kasumi in 
a hug.  While Kasumi continued to cry, Angelica slowly started to rock her back and forth, trying 
to comfort her.  After a few minutes, Kasumi stopped crying, but decided to stay wrapped in 
Angelica’s arms, since she felt happy there.  After a while, Angelica asked Kasumi if she was 
feeling better and Kasumi is she was feeling better and Kasumi said she was.  Angelica noticed 
that Kasumi didn’t leave her arms, so she just kept holding her, and slowly rocking once in a 
while.  It was then that Angelica got to what she really wanted to talk to Kasumi about.

	“Kasumi?”

	“Yes?”

	“I can help you out with some of your problems, but there is a price for that help.”  
Angelica said.

	“What can you do and what is the price?”  Kasumi asked, dreading what the price could 
be.

	“Since I’m only just an old aspect of you, the only thing I can offer you is some of my 
personality.  It may not be much, but it could be the first step to bring back the old Kasumi.  I’m 
sorry if it’s not much.”

	“What is the price?”

	“It’s not really a price but more of a favor.”

	“What is it?”	

	“You know that there will be a major fight coming and I would like to pass my powers 
onto you and have you help fight along side some of my friends I really care for.”

	“But I’m not a fighter.”

	“I know, and to let you know, I’m not really one either.”

	“But …”	

	“My powers are primarily defensive.  I’m more of the group’s healer than anything else.”

	“But what happens if you were attacked?”

	“Like you, I do have some fighting skills, plus I have some offensive powers, but they are 
not very strong.”

	Kasumi remembered that she did have a black belt in her family’s martial arts, so she 
started thinking about the offer that Angelica asked.  As she was thinking about the offer, she 
kept glancing at the outfit that Angelica wore and realized how skin tight it was.  She started to 
blush as she pictured herself wearing such an outfit as she thought how revealing it was.

	“Um, about your outfit?”  Kasumi started to ask but didn’t quite know how to word it.  
She then felt Angelica pose herself as best as she could with herself still in Angelica’s arms.

	“What, you don’t like it?”  Angelica asked with a teasing tone to her voice.  Kasumi 
started to blush heavily as she saw Angelica’s breasts show real well, since they were right at 
Kasumi’s face.

	“Well … um … it is a little skin tight and revealing.”

	“Yeah, it is a little like that, isn’t it, but I think it has to do with who made it.”

	“What do you mean?”

	“We were the first group of female fighters in a male ruled kingdom.  I think you are 
getting the picture of how our outfits came to be.”  Angelica replied and saw Kasumi nod her 
head.

	“Are those wings real?”  

 	Angelica smiled	 at Kasumi as she finally found out that Kasumi was going to ask her 
about her wings.  So she started moving them to show Kasumi that the wings were real and was 
useable.

	“Yep, I was born with them.”  Angelica replied.

	“Oh.”  Kasumi said shocked at finding out that the wings were real and fell into silence as 
she continued thinking of Angelica’s offer.  After a while, she felt Angelica lean towards her.

	“If it helps, if you do take my offer, you really won’t be your families ‘nursemaid’, but 
you would finally start being yourself.  Don’t let your mother’s death drag your life away, you 
need to be yourself.”

	Kasumi winced at what Angelica said, but she did see the truth in what was also said.  
She did realize that when her mother died, she did stop being herself and started to be their 
missing mother.  She was afraid of what was going to happen in the future when she starts to 
become who she should have been, but she realized that she wanted to be herself finally, no 
matter if she was afraid of what the price was going to be.  So when Angelica asked her if she 
was ready to answer yet and Kasumi told her she was ready and told her that she would accept the 
offer.

	Angelica smiled at Kasumi and brought her into a tight hug while she thanked Kasumi 
for taking a chance.  Kasumi returned the smile and saw as Angelica wrapped themselves in her 
wings and noticed that they started to glow a faint white glow.  She felt a peaceful warmth 
embrace her and Kasumi closed her eyes as she felt the warmth flow through her.  When the 
warmth disappeared, she opened her eyes and found herself back in her living room and saw 
some of the others coming out of a dazed look.


NABIKI DREAMSCAPE

	Nabiki opened her eyes after a while to check to see if the bright light from the gem was 
gone.  When she took a peek, she noticed that the bright light was gone, but she noticed that she 
was no longer in her living room at home.  What she did see made her think she was in heaven.  
All around her, as far as the eye can see, were stacks of gold bricks and bundled money that was 
fifteen feet tall and six feet wide.  So she went over to the closest stack of money and checked it 
out.  What surprised her was she found out that all the money in the stack was real.  She was 
smiling to herself thinking on what she could do with all the gold and money in the place, she 
then heard a female voice call out.

	“So, does all this run your life?”

	Nabiki looked around where she was for the person that called out, but she couldn’t see 
anyone around her, so she started looking for the person.  After looking around for a few minutes, 
she couldn’t find who spoke and was about to think that she just imagined it when the person 
called out again.

	“Why does this rule your life?”  

	“Who are you, where are you at, and why are you asking me that?”  Nabiki called out and 
waited for the person to reply.  When silence was the only thing that came back to her, she 
decided to try and answer the question to try and figure out where the person is.  “All this doesn’t 
rule my life, I rule my own life.”

	Thinking that the answer would help, but all she got in return was silence.  So she started 
looking around the place again since she had no other idea of what she was doing in the place in 
the first place.  After several minutes of continual looking around the gold and cash stacks, she 
was getting frustrated and very bored looking for the person.  After another couple of minutes, 
she was about to give up her search when the person called out again.

	“Up here.”

	Nabiki looked up quickly, fearing she might miss seeing the person, but was surprised 
when she did see the person.  The person turned out to be female and around her age, sitting on 
top of a nearby gold stack.  When she looked closer at the person, she saw that the person was 
wearing a black ninja outfit that the mid-rift was of a mesh like material, around the waist was an 
orange sash being used as a belt.  The biggest surprise that Nabiki had was that the person had a 
very strong resemblance to her.  The person sat on top of the gold stack swinging her legs back 
and forth, smiling down at Nabiki.

	“Who are you?”  Nabiki asked.

	“You’re a smart girl; figure it out on your own.”  The person smiled at Nabiki.  

	Nabiki stood there looking up at her and started thinking about who the person could be.  
After dismissing several idea’s that she had come up, she decided to try out an idea that kept 
coming back to her.

	“You’re my previous life persona.”  Nabiki stated.  She then started hearing clapping and 
saw the person clapping at her.

	“Congratulations, you are correct.”  The person replied.

	“Who are you?”

	“Name’s Appolonia.”

	“What do you want with me?”  Nabiki asked and watched as Appolonia pushed herself 
off of the gold stack and land easily in front of her.  After Appolonia straightened herself out, 
Nabiki took a good look at the outfit Appolonia was wearing and noticed how skin tight the outfit 
really is.

	“Why do you think you are here?”  Appolonia asked.

	“Where is here?”  Nabiki asked and watched as Appolonia looked around the place and 
then shrug her shoulders.

	“Your guess is as good as mine.”  Appolonia replied.  “It is your mind that has created 
this place to begin with.”

	“My mind?”

	“Yep, you were the one that created this place.”

	“Why?”

	“The answer to that question comes back to the question I asked, why do you think you 
are here?”  Appolonia asked and Nabiki thought about and decided to talk it out loud.

	“Well, the day started out as normal, but the interesting part started when we found out 
that Stack’s cousin Usagi is really Sailor Moon.  When we sat down to talk about it, Usagi wanted 
to help her friends when she saw that they were in trouble, but she didn’t want her friends to 
know she was helping them.  We were tossing around ideas when these talking foxes came in and 
told us we were Senshi from this long dead Kingdom.”  Nabiki stated and noticed that Appolonia 
nod her head at each point, so she continued on.  “Then we find out that Ryoga’s fox form could 
talk and gave Usagi this gem and it started glowing so bright I had to close my eyes, when I 
opened my eyes, I was here.”

	“Okay, so why do you think you are here?”  Appolonia asked Nabiki.  Nabiki thought for 
a moment when she remembered something the foxes had said.

	“I’m here to become a Senshi.”  Nabiki replied and saw as Appolonia started clapping 
again.

	“Now you are getting it.”

	“But I can’t be a Senshi.”

	“Let me ask you another question before you go too far with that line of thought.”

	“What?”

	“What are you going to do with your future?”

	“What do you mean?”

	“You have one year left at your high school, how are you going to support your family 
when you go to the college you want, or are you going to go to a local college to help support 
your family?”

	Nabiki gasped wide-eyed when she suddenly got what Appolonia was getting at.  In order 
to be successful in the real world, she would need to go to a good college to be what she wanted 
to be.  But her need to support her family will always be in the back of her mind to distract her.  
Also she would have to create all her contacts and betting pools all over again when she goes to a 
new school.  The biggest problem with her plans is what Appolonia pointed out, time is running 
out.

	“I see you are getting what I’m pointing out, but that is something for you to dwell on for 
later when you have the time to really think out your future, but we need to get to the reason you 
are here.”  Appolonia said.

	“Alright, but isn’t the reason of me being here is for you to teach me how to be a 
Senshi?”  Nabiki asked.

	“Not fully.  The reason I’m here is to bestow my powers onto you if you will accept 
them.”

	“What do you mean by that?”

	“In order for me to give you my powers, you must be willing to have them; there must 
not be any doubt when you say you want them.”

	“What are your powers?”

	“My main power is my intellect, but I have a few offensive powers.”

	“What are they?”

	“My powers have the ability to freeze objects in several different stages.’

	“Okay.”

	“But like I said, my main power is my intellect, which was said to have rivaled that of 
Sailor Mercury.  But another ability my powers give is enhanced fighting ability.”

	“But I’m not a fighter.”

	“But you do have a black belt in your family’s style don’t you?”

	“Yes.”

	“So you can fight if you have to, can’t you?”

	“Yes.”

	“To tell you the truth, I’m not really a fighter myself, but the enhanced ability is nice to 
have when it’s needed.  I really don’t do much fighting; I would rather use my brain instead of 
my fist or feet.”

	“So what did you do for the group you were with?”

	“I was mainly the brain of the group.  I was the one that did the strategies of our attack 
plans and such.”

	“Okay, what can you tell me about the others of your group?”

	“I’m only allowed to talk about myself, you already know about the others, since two of 
them are now your sister’s in your life.  If you want to know about the others, you need to ask 
them yourself.”

	“I see.”

	“So, are you willing to give being a Senshi a try?”

	Nabiki thought about all that she found out, and thought about what she was going to do 
about her future.  She thought about all the advantages she would be getting versus all the 
disadvantages it would all cause.  She also started thinking about her sisters and knowing that 
they were getting the same offer weighted heavily on her.  Over all, the conclusion she came to 
was one of accepting the offer and then worry about how she was going to deal with her future 
and family.

	“Alright, I accept your offer; I’ll give it a try.”  Nabiki said after she made up her mind.

	“That’s good.”  Appolonia said smiling.

	“So what do I have to do to gain this power?”

	“I’ll tell you in a moment, if you can do a small favor for me?”

	“What is it?”

	“When you meet Sailor Mercury, have fun teasing her, I never got a chance to find out if 
the rumors of which one of us was a better thinker.”

	“Okay, I will see for both of us.”

	“Thank you.”  Appolonia said and gave Nabiki a hug.  “Now all you have to do is close 
your eyes and I’ll do the rest.”

 	“That’s it?”

 	“Yes.”

	“Okay.”  Nabiki said and then closed her eyes.

	“When you open your eyes, the powers will be with you, you just have to figure out how 
to draw upon them.”

	“Okay.”

	Nabiki stood there for a minute in silence waiting for Appolonia to do what she had to do, 
but when nothing was happening, she called out for her, but didn’t get a response back.  After 
waiting a few moments more, she decided to open her eyes to see what was taking so long.  When 
she did open her eyes, she expected to see the gold and cash stacks, but she found herself back in 
her living room where it all started.  She looked around and saw that some of the others were 
shaking their heads as if they were shaking out the cobwebs and clearing the dazed look from 
their eyes.

AKANE’S DREAMSCAPE

	Akane opened her eyes to see if the bright light was gone and was surprised when she 
found herself somewhere else.  She quickly started to look around to see where she was and 
found out that she was on a plateau over looking some scenic mountain view.  Behind her was a 
vast forest for as far as the eye can see.  At the far end of the plateau she noticed a person sitting 
at the end.  She was to far away to make out any good details but she did recognize that the 
person was female.

	It was then that Akane could hear whistling and found that it was a familiar tune.  She 
looked around to see if see could find where the whistling was coming from, and found that the 
person was the one whistling the tune.  Unconsciously, Akane started walking toward the person 
and only stopped herself when she was several steps away from the person.  After several more 
notes of whistling, the person stopped and told Akane to sit next to her and didn’t even look at 
Akane once when she talked.

	So Akane went and sat down next to the person on a nearby stump and looked over to see 
who the person was.  She noticed that the person was indeed female with long black hair, wearing 
a black skin-tight outfit that looked like a ninja outfit with the mid-rift being a mesh like material 
and a green sash for a belt.  But the biggest thing that Akane noticed that suddenly made her stare 
at the person, was that the person had pointed ears and looked just like her.  After several minutes 
of staring, in which the person has yet to face Akane, Akane was thinking of why the person 
looked like her.

	“Are you enjoying the view?”  The person suddenly said.

	“Whaa?”  Akane said, caught off guard by the question, when Akane registered what was 
asked, she thought she was caught staring at the person and then she became a little defensive.  
“What do you mean by that?”

	The person finally turned her head to look at Akane and smiled at her as she pointed to 
the mountains.

	“The mountain and trees.”  The person said.  Akane realized her mistake and looked out 
towards the mountains and then saw how lovely the view was.

	“It’s lovely.”  Akane said.

	“Are you also done checking me out?”  The person asked smiling.

	“What!”  Akane exclaimed realizing that she was really caught.  “I was not checking you 
out, I wasn’t doing that.”

	“Hmm, double negative.”

	“Why you…” Akane stood up and started getting angry.  She stood in a ready stance and 
saw the person raise one eyebrow in interest.

	“Relax.”  The person said shaking her head sadly.  “Now I can see how easy it is to tease 
you.  You take things way to serious, you need to lighten up.  I was only joking to lighten the 
mood.”

	“Sorry.”  Akane said and relaxed her stance and realized she was jumping to conclusions 
and decided to her what the person had to say while she sat back down on the stump.

	“Don’t be, I realize looking at me for the first time, people stare due to my ‘interesting 
looks’.  Like my ears and my eyes.”  The person said and turned to face Akane again and that was 
when Akane noticed the person’s eyes had a reptilian look to them.

	“Who are you?”  Akane asked and saw the person smile.

	“Have you forgotten what the foxes told you already?”  The person said and saw Akane 
think for a bit and then smile when she saw realization dawn on Akane’s face.

	“You’re my past life that those foxes were talking about, that is why you look something 
like me.”  Akane replied.

	“Bingo, my name’s Draconia, and before you ask, yes I do have some dragon DNA in 
me.”  Draconia said as both her and Akane shook hands.

	“So, what do you want?”

	“Well, I was hoping we could talk some before we got down to business.  It’s been a long 
time since I was able to talk to someone.  Being dead sucks at times.”

	“So what do you want to talk about?”

	“Well, I think the first topic should be about Ranma.”

	“Ranma?  Why do you want to talk about him for?”

	“What do you know about him?”

	“He’s an irresponsible jerk.  He doesn’t take me seriously; he’s a womanizer and a show 
off.”  Akane said angrily as her anger started to build up again.

	“Whoa, before you get carried away there, I asked you what you know of him, not your 
views about him.  Now take a deep breath again and calm down, and then answer what you know 
of his life.”  Akane does what Draconia told her to do and calmed down a little.

	“Well, I know he was on a ten-year martial arts training journey and had just finished it.  
He was in China recently where he met Stack and picked up his gender changing curse.  I know 
because of his stomach, Shampoo is now a slave to Stack, well technically.  And now I’m 
engaged to him, which my father was nice enough to tell me and my sisters about it on the day he 
showed up.”  Akane said and ran though her memory and realized she really didn’t know much 
about Ranma’s life.  “I guess I really don’t know much about his life.  Why are you asking me 
about him?”

	“Well, that has a three part answer.”

	“I’ll begin by telling you what I know of Ranma’s life.  It begins by Ranma going on that 
ten year journey you mentioned to be the ‘greatest martial artist’ of his generation, which was 
what his father wanted since Ranma was six at the time and really didn’t know any better.  He 
also hasn’t seen his mother since he left and I doubt he remembers what she looks like if he 
bumps into her accidentally.  So while on that journey, he hasn’t stayed in one place for more 
than a couple of months, he kept moving around, not really having a chance to make friends and 
such.”

	Draconia continued on telling Akane what Ranma’s life was like from when he started 
his journey until Akane met him for the first time.  Akane soon figured out some of the reasons 
why Ranma acts the way he does.  She never realized that Ranma didn’t have the luxury of a 
stable childhood to adolescent.  He was missing out on things like a stable home, being around 
friends all the time and only having his father as the sole constant person to role model after, 
which wasn’t a good role model to begin with.  Then having to deal with having to live as a ‘man 
among men’ when he changes into a girl half the time.

	“How do you know all that?”  Akane asked.
	
	“Being dead does have its advantages.”  Draconia said smiling.

	“Why have you told me all that?”

	“Well, your Ranma does remind me on my lover, Astrea.”

	“Who’s he?”

	“Actually he’s a she.”

	“What!  You’re a …”

	“I’m what you consider to be Bi.”

	“But …”

	“Let me tell you my life before you fully judge me.”

	“Okay.”

	“Before I met Astrea, you could say I was a ‘bitch’.”  Draconia said and she saw the 
shocked look on Akane’s face.  “Yes a ‘bitch’.  I had one of those ‘Holier than thou’ attitude, 
since I was the princess of my Kingdom.  I considered everyone below me in status, except my 
family and the rulers of the Star Kingdom.  When I was asked to join the first ever female 
fighting group, I jumped at the chance to prove how great I was.  When we all met for the first 
time and I saw Astrea, I was so upset at how she acted.  

 	“The reason behind that was, Astrea’s father wanted a son and got her instead, then her 
father found out he couldn’t have anymore children due to an accident, so he was so upset that he 
became disillusional and started to make his daughter into his son.  So for most of her life, she 
thought she was a he with different parts, so to speak.  I later found out, but she had made it her 
goal to get me in bed with her, she seemed to have developed an interest in me, due to my exotic 
looks.  So for weeks I had to fight off all her advances and tricks in order to get me into bed, but 
because of a celebration ball, her wish came true, sort of.”

	“What happened?”

	“There was heavy drinking going on and the both of us found each other in bed naked the 
next morning.  Let’s just say I over reacted and started yelling at her.  She took it pretty hard and 
we didn’t talk to each other for several days after that.  When I calmed down some and had a talk 
with Haiyashi, I soon came to realize that Astrea was just as shocked as I was about finding each 
other in bed together.  I guessed that she didn’t know what to do since her goal was to get me into 
a bed with her and since I was playing hard to get, she didn’t know what to do afterwards.”

	“So how did you two become lovers?”

	“Well I felt sorry for yelling at her, so I had decided as a way of saying sorry, I would let 
Astrea have a night with me.”

	“You mean you willingly went to bed with her?”

	“Not really.  It came with a deal.  And that deal was if I willingly went to bed with her, 
she would have to learn how to be a Lady.”

	“I guess she accepted.”

	“Yes, and as you probably guessed it didn’t stop on that night.  I got to tell you, that minx 
can grow on you.  You should have seen her the first time I put her in a dress, I thought she was 
going to crawl in a hole and bury herself.  But enough about my past, but I do have to say you’ve 
got your own interesting story started.”

	“What do you mean?”

	“You have a fiancée that can change genders with a splash of water.”  Draconia said 
teasingly and saw Akane blush hotly.  “I see you are getting it.  You can get the best of both 
worlds, but we will drop it there if you want.”

	“But he is such a jerk at times.”  Akane said quietly.

	“Then you need to teach him on how not to be a jerk.”

	“How?”

	“Astrea’s weakness was if I wanted to teach her something, I just had to put it into a form 
of a challenge.  I’m sure Ranma is the same way.”

	“Okay thanks.”

	“I think we better get down to business, time is running short for us.”

	“Okay, what is this business you are talking about?”

	“I need you to take my place in your day and age, to bestow upon you my powers to fight 
the evils that will plague your world.”

	“I don’t need your powers to fight; I already know how to fight.”

	“Fighting unorganized hormonal crazed school boys and delusional samurai wannabe’s 
that are trying to date you is nothing compared to monsters that want to kill you and enslave your 
world.”

	“What right do you have to say I’m not a fighter?”  Akane yelled thinking that Draconia 
was insulting her ability to fight.

	“Because I am a part of you and at least I can acknowledge where my limits are, like the 
sparring matches you have with Ranma should have pointed out your limits.  You have strength, I 
will give you that, but against someone of Ranma’s speed and agility, you have a major 
weakness.”  Draconia noticed that Akane had went into deep thought when she had calmed down, 
so she decided to give Akane a few minutes before she continued.  “The point is I’m asking you 
to fight along side my friends.  I may be giving you powers, but you still have to learn how to use 
them.”  She then noticed that Akane get a troubled look to her.  “What’s wrong?”

	“I want to help fight along side your friends, but I don’t know how to deal with my life 
anymore.  There are too many things going on at once and that is overwhelming me.”  Akane 
replied sadly.

	“How about a deal, if you accept the power, I will help you deal with your problems to 
the best of my ability.”

	“How will you do that?”  Akane asked and saw Draconia smile.

	“You will notice when I help out, are you ready?”

	“Yes.”  Akane replied and Draconia gave Akane a hug of reassurance. 

	“Thank you, now close your eyes.”

	“Why?”

	“Just do it.”  Akane then closed her eyes and waited.  “When you can, when you figure 
out who Astrea is, take care of her.  Also if you can, give Ranma a chance to explain himself 
before you hit him.”

	“I’ll try.”

	“That’s all I ask.  When you open your eyes, the power will be there, but remember, you 
still have to figure out how to access them.”

	After a few minutes of silence, Akane called out to Draconia and got no response.  She 
opened her eyes to see what was up and quickly noticed that she was back in her living room and 
saw that a couple of the others were coming out of a dazed look.

SHAMPOO’S DREAMSCAPE

	Shampoo opened her eyes a crack and noticed that the bright light was gone, so she 
opened her eyes fully.  It was then that she realized that she wasn’t in the Tendo’s living room 
anymore, but back at her village in China.  She also found out quickly that she was on the 
Challenge Log, but she saw that she was still dressed as she was when she went to the Tendo’s.  
She also quickly noticed that she wasn’t alone, that there was another person at the other end.

	Shampoo took a look at the person and saw that the person was female, but couldn’t tell 
that much about her since she was wearing a cloak that was hiding most of her features.  She 
noticed that the person was holding a double-bladed staff and saw from that, that the person was 
wearing some sort of black skin tight outfit.  Shampoo couldn’t figure out why she was on the 
Challenge Log or who she was facing when she noticed the person get into a ready stance.  She 
quickly figured out that she was being challenged and brought forth her bonbori’s and got in a 
ready stance of her own.

	She decided to rush towards the person to get in a few quick attacks of her own before the 
person knew what was going on.  Unfortunately that was not what had happened.  The person 
dodged, parried, or deflected all the attacks Shampoo was throwing at her.  Shampoo realized 
how good her opponent really was when during one of her attacks the person countered and 
Shampoo found herself on the defensive and was barely keeping the attacks at bay.  Shampoo 
realized that she was in trouble when the person used the blades on her staff and destroyed her 
bonbori by slicing through them, rendering them useless and in pieces.

	Before Shampoo had a chance to jump away to get distance from the person, the person 
used her staff to trip Shampoo and caused her to land on her back on the log.  When Shampoo 
landed, she lost her grip on the handles of her bonbori.  When Shampoo tried to get back up, she 
noticed that the tip of the blade of the staff was suddenly at her neck, so she froze all movement.  
She looked up at her opponent in anger and dared her to finish her off with just a look.  She then 
watched as the person started to lower the tip of the blade until it was touching one of her buttons 
on her shirt.  Shampoo then watched shocked as the person started cutting all the buttons off her 
shirt one at a time until they were all gone.  Just then a strong breeze blew across them and 
Shampoo’s shirt blew open to reveal Shampoo’s bare breasts, which Shampoo cursed herself for 
going without a bra that day to tease Steve.

	“What a nice set.”  The person said in Chinese, which Shampoo realized sounded familiar 
to her.

	The surprise of the voice and realizing what the person was talking about, Shampoo lost 
her grip on the log and slipped over the side.  Shampoo quickly reacted in time to land on her feet 
and quickly looked up to see if her opponent was going to attack, but quickly realized that the 
challenge log was no where in sight.  She quickly looked around and found out she was now at 
her secret hiding place in the forest near her village.  She also realized that her shirt was still open 
and quickly tied it closed as best as she could.  Right when she finish tying her shirt closed, she 
heard a rustle in the woods to her right.

	Shampoo quickly faced where the noise was coming from and got in a ready stance to be 
ready for anything.  Just then a person emerged from the woods and Shampoo quickly recognized 
the person as the person that she was fighting on the challenge log.  So Shampoo got into a 
defensive stance since she knew the person was a better fighter.  The person saw that Shampoo 
change stances and chuckled.  Curiosity getting the better of Shampoo, she wanted to know who 
she was fighting.

	“Who are you?”  Shampoo asked.

	“Who do you think I am?”  The person replied as the person removed her cloak and set it 
on a nearby tree branch.

	Shampoo looked at the person and noticed that the black skin-tight outfit was a skin-tight 
ninja outfit with the mid-rift a mesh like material.  The outfit also had a blue sash around the 
waist that made it look like a belt.  But the biggest shock that Shampoo had was that the person 
looked just like her.  She was so surprised that her knees gave out all support, but since she was in 
a defensive stance, she started to stumble backwards a few steps until her foot caught on 
something and she landed on her butt.  She heard the person laugh and looked up at the person 
and noticed that the person was standing in front of her holding out her hand.

	“Here.”  The person said and waited for Shampoo.  Shampoo looked at the hand and then 
at the person and decided she could trust the person not to attack.  So Shampoo grabbed the hand 
and the person helped Shampoo back to her feet and then the person indicated a nearby log for 
them to sit at.  When the both of them were sitting, the person introduced herself.  “My name is 
Tirlia and as you probably figured out by now, I am a past life of you.”

	“What do you want with me?”  Shampoo asked carefully.

	“I was wondering if we could talk before I have to explain why I’m here, if that is okay 
with you.”

	“Okay.”  Shampoo said after thinking about it for a bit.  “Why did you attack me?”

	“I was checking your reflexes and other fighting abilities, of which you did just fine.”

	“Why did you cut the buttons off my shirt?”  Shampoo asked and saw Tirlia smile evilly.

	“Just a little payback so you know what Stack went through when you did that to her.  
Speaking of Stack,” Tirlia leaned over towards Shampoo and saw Shampoo blush at the mention 
of what Shampoo did to Steve.  “What are your feelings for Stack now that you found out that 
Stack is really a male?”  She then noticed Shampoo’s blush darken.  “Ahh, you’re blushing, that 
means something good.  Give me all the juicy details.”

	“Ayiah, you’re embarrassing me.”  Shampoo said and then the both of them smiled.

	“I can tell there is a good story here, tell it.”  Tirlia said and poked Shampoo a couple of 
times.

	“Well, to begin with, I really hated Stack for defeating me twice on the day I became 
village champion.  Well, it was Red that really started it by eating my prize and when I went to 
fight Red, I get pinned to the ground by Stack, who I thought wasn’t a good fighter.  Then after 
Great Grandmother comes and talks to them, I find out that Stack beat me also and I lost it and 
attacked Stack in which I get knocked out cold.  When I came too, I realized what had happened 
and knew I was now a slave to Stack.  My greatest fear was Stack was going to be like one of the 
other slave owner’s I’ve seen that would enjoy tormenting their recently acquired Amazon slave.  
But when Stack brought me inside from the rain and gave me a pillow and blanket to sleep with, 
then in the morning, she gave me food instead of scraps, I knew then that Stack wasn’t like them.

	“Then the two weeks Stack was in the village, I accepted my fate and was glad that Stack 
was my master.  She never really did anything to embarrass me much, except the times I think 
Great Grandmother told her to do something to me.  I think the only really embarrassing thing 
Stack had me do was have me stand nude in front of Red as Stack pointed out parts on my body 
to Red.  I was very confused why Stack was doing that when Stack explained to me that Red was 
grown up as a boy and only had a father around, then it made sense, but it was also funny to see 
Red faint during the lesson.

	“I think the time I fell in love with Stack, at least his female side, was after a day Great 
Grandmother was training her and she fell asleep in my lap.  She looked so peaceful and lovely 
sleeping there that my heart went out to her.  I had decided that I would do anything I could to 
make her happy and tried to think of a way for her to love me back.  But then she and Red left for 
Japan and left me behind which upset me and I felt hurt.  That was why I cut open her shirt, sort 
of a little revenge for leaving me behind.

	“Then came the shock that the girl I was in love with was really male and that they had 
fought for my freedom of slavery, I was over come by the shock.  But now I realize that the 
person I fell in love with is in both forms.  Its fun teasing Stack now, also sitting by his bed and 
watch him sleep, but the only thing I wish is I wonder what his feelings for me are.  I think he 
cares for me, but it’s hard to tell if he loves me in return or is he just feeling sorry for me.”

	“I’m sure he has feelings for you, but he doesn’t want to jump into anything to fast.  
Where he is from, the age difference is a problem that is in the back of his mind.  I’m sure if you 
give him time, he may surprise you.”  Tirlia said.

	“Are you sure?”  Shampoo said with hope in her voice.

	“If you are so worried about it, talk to him about your feelings, and then you will know 
what he is thinking about you like.”

	“I hope so.”  Shampoo said softly.

	“I hate to cut this short, be we better get down to business.”

	“What is this business you are talking about?”

	“I would like you to fight along side my friends in the up coming battle that is coming.  
Namely I would like to pass my powers unto you if you accept.”

	“What about Stack?”

	“I don’t know the only way to find out is to take a chance.”

	Shampoo thought about it and decided that if Steve was powerless or helpless, then she 
will protect Steve with her life, but if Steve does have powers also, she will fight along side.

	“I’ll do it, I accept.”  Shampoo said and Tirlia reached over and hugged Shampoo.

	“Thank you, but remember what I said, if you are really worried what Stack thinks about 
you, you need to talk to him.”

	“Okay I will.”  Shampoo agreed and they released the hug.

	“Now close your eyes.”  Tirlia said and Shampoo closed her eyes.  “When you open your 
eyes again, my powers will be with you, but you will have to learn how to access them.”

	After a few moments, Shampoo opened her eyes and found herself back in the Tendo’s 
living room.  She blinked her eyes a couple of times to clear her head and noticed a couple of the 
other girls doing the same thing.  She suddenly remembered what happened to her shirt and 
quickly looked down and saw that her shirt was fine, nothing was wrong with it.

	“Aiyah, that was strange.”  Shampoo called out and noticed that some of the other girls 
nodding their head in agreement.

	Shampoo turned to face Steve to see what he thought about what happened and suddenly 
noticed that he wasn’t standing near her.  So she quickly looked around and found him and 
Ranma on the floor in the fetal position and holding their heads with a severe look of pain to their 
faces.

	“Stack!”  Shampoo exclaimed and ran over to Steve to see what was wrong.  The other 
girls looked over and saw what was going on and rushed over to help Shampoo.  Usagi went to 
Shampoo while the Tendo sister’s went over to Ranma.

	“What’s wrong with them?”  Usagi asked, helping Shampoo try and help Steve.

	“Shampoo don’t know, was going to ask Stack what thought of what happened when see 
both of them like this.”  Shampoo replied.

	“We were afraid something like this was going to happen.”  Helios said and suddenly he 
and the other foxes cringed and felt a cold shiver run down their backs at the look that all the girls 
suddenly gave them.

	“We were afraid that their male souls were going to reject their female counter part 
souls.”  Polyarch replied quickly to make the girls not kill them.  “And from the looks of it, the 
male soul is fighting the female one.”

	“What can we do for them?”  Usagi asked with hope.

	“Unfortunately there is nothing we can do for them at the moment but wait for them to 
come around.”  Polyarch replied watching the girls get a frown to their face.  The girls looked 
defeated and worried since they couldn’t do anything to ease their struggle but look on and try 
and keep them comfortable.

STEVE’S DREAMSCAPE

	Steve opened his eyes and realized that he wasn’t at the Tendo’s living room anymore.  
He took a look around his surroundings and recognized quickly that he was not at the cabin his 
parents own.  So he started towards the front door of the cabin, wandering how he got there to 
begin with when he heard someone crying.  He tried to locate where the sound was coming from 
and located it coming from the direction of the lake.  So he made his was to the steps leading to 
the lake and looked out.  At the end of the pier, he found a person sitting there with their knees 
up, head resting on their knees, and their arms wrapped around their legs.

	So Steve decided to see who the person was and what was wrong with them.  He made 
his way down the steps until he was at the pier and saw that the person still hasn’t reacted to his 
approach, so he continued down the pier until he was standing a couple of feet away from the 
person, which he found out was the one that was crying.  He took a better look at the person and 
noticed that the person was female and appeared to be in her early teens.  She had black hair that 
was down to the collar of her outfit.  Of her outfit, he noticed that it was black, skin tight, and the 
mid-rift area was a mesh like material.  Around her waist was a purple sash that acted like a belt.

	“Are you all right?”  Steve asked the girl and saw her jump when he called out.

	“Leave me alone!”  The girl yelled, but she didn’t turn to face him.

	“What’s wrong?”

	“Like you don’t know!”

	“No I don’t, what is wrong?”  Steve asked and then saw as the girl whipped around to 
look at him and Steve recognized her as his cursed form.

	“You should hate me.”  The girl replied with tears still running down her cheeks.

	“Why?”

	“Like you don’t realize I’m ruining your life, so leave me to my misery.”  The girl replied 
and went back into the position she was in before and resumed crying.

	The girl continued to cry for a few moments when the girl suddenly felt herself being 
pulled into someone’s arms.  She was startled so much that she let herself be pulled into 
someone’s lap.  She looked over her shoulder to see who it was that had grabbed her, and when 
she saw that it was Steve, she started to struggle to get out of his grip.  She realized that she 
couldn’t get out of his grip so she gave up the struggle and started to cry on his shoulder.  
Unconsciously she felt Steve trying to comfort her, but she was to busy crying.  After several 
minutes, she stopped crying, but she still had tears running down her cheeks.  She then looked up 
at Steve and wondered what was going on.

	“Why?”  The girl asked quietly.

	“Excuse me?”  Steve asked since he didn’t hear her.

	“Why are you trying to comfort me, you should hate me for what I did to you.”  The girl 
replied and felt as Steve started to rock her gently and she inwardly enjoyed the comfort.

	“Are you the girl that drowned in the spring?”

	“No, that was someone else; I was just dumped in that spring when I was dead.  By the 
way, my name in Saria.”

	“Hello Saria, my name’s Steve, but lately people have been calling me Stack, since it’s 
the shorten version of my last name.”

	“I know I have been with you for the past few weeks.”

	“True that.”  Steve said and the both of them smiled.  “Hey, it’s good to see you smiling 
instead of crying, by the way, why were you crying?”

	“I was crying because of what I have done to you.”  Saria said as she looked down and 
got a sad look to her face.  “You should hate me for it.”

	“Why should I hate you, what did you do to me?”

	“I ruined your life, because of me; I now made you a freak.’

	“Now I know you aren’t a freak, you’re very cute.”  Steve replied and saw Saria blush.  
“But to answer your question, I was surprised when I realized I turn into you.  At first I got to 
admit I didn’t like it, being a teenage girl half of my life now, but after I came accustomed to it, it 
sort of grew on me.  After I talked to the guide about the so called ‘Curses’, I accepted my fate 
and I am slowly getting use to being female half the time.  I can’t wait to tease my sister with it 
when I see her next.  And as I said, you are a cutie.”  Saria blushed hotly and elbows Steve in the 
gut for embarrassing her and smiles inwardly when she heard Steve grunt in minor pain.  “Well, 
since we are now going to be using the same body, I was thinking about offering a partnership 
here.”

	“Partnership?”

	“We will have to work on the details, but I was thinking of us sharing the body, what do 
you say?”

	Steve held out his hand for her as best as he could, with her being in his arms and still in 
his lap.  Saria thought about what he said for a moment while she looked up at him and then 
down at his hand several times.  When she came to a decision to her inner debate, she smiled and 
placed her hand onto his.

	“Deal.”  Saria replied and they shook hands.

	“Good.  Now why don’t we continue our talk up at the deck swing?”  Steve asked.

	“Why, I like sitting here.”  Saria said smiling again and snuggled into his lap more.

	“But I’m loosing feeling in my legs.”

	“Are you saying I’m fat?”  Saria said suddenly with a hint of anger in her voice.

	“No, but sitting like this for so long, my legs are falling asleep.”

	“Okay.”  Saria said and smiled again to let Steve know her fat comment was only a joke.

	Saria stood up and turned to help Steve stand up.  When Steve stood up, his legs wobbled 
and Saria helped him steady himself.  Once he had full use of his legs again, the both of them 
headed down the pier to the steps that took them back to the cabin, but instead of going to the 
cabin, they headed for the deck swing that overlooked the lake.  Once they were sitting on the 
swing, Saria decided to ask a question that was on her mind.

	“Stack?”  Saria called out.

	“Yes?”  Steve replied.

	“Why did you come up with our partnership instead of hating me?”

	“Well, I already told you most of it, but meeting you and talking to you, I’m thinking of 
you as a little sister now.”

	“Little sister?  I never had a brother before, I kinda like that.  But I think I’m more of a 
daughter to you than a sister.”

	“It’s going to be hard enough telling my family I turn into you, so let’s keep it simple for 
them.”

	“Okay.”

	“Now is it my turn for a question?”

	“Okay, it’s only fair.”

	“What is up with the second skin outfit?  It doesn’t leave much to the imagination.”

	“Well, it came with the job.  This was our fighting outfit for our group.  The way to tell 
us apart, besides height and build, is the color of our sashes and symbols.  Besides, I would rather 
this one instead of the other one I have, I hate what it represents.”

	“What about the other outfit?”

	“For me to tell you about it, I pretty much have to tell you my life story, but since our 
time here is short, I will give you the highlights so hopefully you understand.”

	“Okay.”

	“To begin with, my parents weren’t expecting twins, so that stressed out my parents to 
begin with.  But then because of a mix up in the nursery, no one could figure out who was who 
and thus they couldn’t figure out who the first born was anymore, even though technically I am 
the first born by name.  So, since I was a princess of Saturn, people feared what me and my sister 
had the ability to do, how powerful we were.  When it came time to choose who the successor of 
the mantle of Sailor Saturn was going to be, they had to bring in a bunch of wise men to test me 
and my sister.  When the results came out, they said my sister was going to be the next Sailor 
Saturn.  But since my parents didn’t want me to be left out, they gave me what I consider a 
consolation prize or a sympathy gift, they gave me the ability to be a Senshi of one of Saturn’s 
moons, Titan.

	“After that, I became a little gloomy and my mom and sister started to smother me with 
sympathy and kinda baby me with affection.  But the worse of it all was when my parents started 
to use me as a marriage candidate for the lower nobles that weren’t good enough for my sister.  
The man that they were going to hook me up with I loathed with a passion.  Thinking of a way to 
get out of everything, a servant told me of a way and I took it.  I said I was going training in the 
Star Kingdom area and there is when I met the King of Aeries, who was a minor noble in the Star 
Kingdom.  I told him my problems and he helped hide me by adopting me and saying he had no 
idea who I was or that I was even in his kingdom when the Moon Kingdom asked for me.  After 
that, I met the others and we became the first female fighting group, and the rest, as you say, is 
history.”

	“Wow, you were a Senshi I was told about.”

	“As I said, I’m not an official one that is held by my sister.”

	“I remember Usagi telling me all about them, and now I know why she loved Sailor 
Moon so much, it’s because she is Sailor Moon.”

	“Funny isn’t it.  And Usagi had a twin sister back then also who was the leader of our 
group.”

	“So what does your Senshi outfit look like?”

	“Are you sure you want to see it?”

	“If it doesn’t bother you?”

	“For you, not at all.  I just want to be sure you wanted to see it.”  Saria said and then 
stood in front of Steve.  He noticed that she had a rod like object in her hand and then she raised it 
above her head.  “Titan power make-up!”

	Saria then got engulfed in a bright light, but not bright enough Steve couldn’t see her.  He 
had a surprised look when he saw something when she was transforming.  When it was over, she 
stood in a white fuku with a black skirt, black boots that were knee high, and a black collar, 
purple bows in the front and back and a purple gem in her tiara.  She was also holding a staff that 
was longer than she was tall.  It was after a bit of Saria posing for him a bit that she noticed the 
surprised look Steve had.

	“What’s wrong?”  Saria asked worried.

	“Your transforming does that all the time?”  Steve asked in return.

	“Afraid so.”

	“Did you know you spun nude for a few seconds there?”  Steve asked and saw as Saria 
blushed as she didn’t realize that.  “I’m going to have a talk with Usagi about that when I get a 
chance, but otherwise, I did enjoy the view you gave me.”

	“Pervert!”  Saria exclaimed as she playfully punched Steve and then sat next to him 
again, still maintaining a blush of embarrassment.  She then looked around the place for the first 
time.  “My turn for a question again?”

	“Sure.”

	“Where are we?”

	“This is the cabin my family owns.  We come here ever so often for a nice break away 
from a normal life.”

	“It’s peaceful.”

	“If we get a chance, I’ll take you there if you want?”

	“Thanks, I’ll like that.  But we better talk about why you are here.”

	“What is it?”

	“I’m supposed to bestow my powers onto you if you accept them.”

	“Okay sure, I accept.”  Steve said quickly, which surprise Saria on how quick he 
accepted.

	“You accepted that awfully quickly, why?”

	“Like I said earlier, we still have to work on the details, but we do have a partnership 
don’t forget, and if that is one of the details, then I accept it.”  Saria hugged him in gratitude.  “So 
what do I have to do?”

	“Close your eyes.”  Saria said and Steve closed his eyes.  “When you open your eyes 
again, my powers will be with you, but you will have to figure out how to access them.”  Saria 
then leaned over and kissed Steve, which made him jump but he didn’t open his eyes.  “That was 
for not hating me.”

	After a few moments of silence, Steve opened his eyes to see what was up and found 
himself laying on his back with his head on Shampoo’s lap.  He looked up at her and saw that she 
had a concerned, worried look with a little hope in her eyes and then he noticed that Usagi was 
kneeling next to him with the same look on her face that Shampoo had.

RANMA’S DREAMSCAPE

	Ranma opened his eyes and quickly realized that he wasn’t in the Tendo’s place 
anymore.  He quickly got in a ready stance to make sure that no one was going to jump him and 
catch him off guard until he figured out what was going on.  He surveyed his immediate area and 
figured out he was at one of the many campsites he used while he was on his training journey.  
While he was trying to figure out how he got to the campsite, he suddenly heard a moan come 
from nearby.

	He quickly looked around the place and located where the moan had come from.  At the 
far end of the campsite was a girl tied to a tree branch by her wrists so that her toes were barely 
touching the ground with her head looking down so he couldn’t see who she was, with her back 
was towards him.  He could tell she was wearing a skin tight Black ninja outfit with a red sash 
around her waist, she had long red hair, and looked about his curse forms height and size.  But 
what really got him was the back of the outfit was nothing but scraps hanging around and that her 
back had several whip marks all over and some looked to be freshly made since they looked to be 
still bleeding.  So he quickly ran over to her and untied the rope that was holding her wrists to the 
tree branch.  He slowly lowered her to the ground so she was some what kneeling, and it was then 
that the girl spoke for the first time.

	“So are you finally going to finish the job?”  The girl said quietly and Ranma thought she 
sounded familiar.

	“What?”  Ranma asked confused at her question.  “What do you mean?”

	The girl finally turned to face Ranma and Ranma was surprised when he saw her, because 
the girl in front of him looked exactly like his cursed form.

	“You’re here to finish killing me.”  The girl said.

	“But I wasn’t the one that did this to you.”  Ranma replied trying to defend himself.

	“Yes you did.  By rejecting what had happened to you, you are slowly killing me.”  The 
girl replied with tears suddenly running down her cheeks.

	Ranma, hating to see a girl cry, tried to comfort her as best as he could.  But while he was 
reaching around her back, his hand touched one of the welts on her back and she jumped away 
from his touch while hissing in pain.  Ranma realized his mistake and was about to say he was 
sorry when he saw the blood on his hand.  He knew he had better take care of her injuries and 
looked around for a first aid kit.  He saw one lying near the camp fire, so he stood up and helped 
the mostly non-resisting girl over to a log near the fire and sat her down on it.  He grabbed the 
first aid kit and started to take care of her injuries as best as he could.

	“Why?”  The girl said quietly.

	“Hmm?”  Ranma asked, being caught off guard by the question when he was almost done 
treating her injuries.

	“Why are you treating my wounds when you hate me?  Are you doing it so you can kill 
me later?”  The girl asked.

	“No, I never really meant to hurt you, I didn’t really know I was doing it to you, much 
less I don’t even know your name.”  Ranma replied and silence was all he got back from the girl.

	Once Ranma finished putting on the last bandage, he set the first aid kit on the ground.  
When he wasn’t getting any response or movement from the girl, he looked around for something 
to do.  He noticed some cooking gear and a small amount of food lying near it, so he decided to 
cook himself a small meal.  After several minutes of cooking, he was about to pan himself some 
food when the girl started talking again.

	“Astrea.”  The girl said quietly.

	“What?”  Ranma asked confused at what she said as he noticed her looking at him.

	“My name, it’s Astrea.”  The girl replied.

	“Hello Astrea, I’m Ranma.”

	“I know I am somewhat a part of you.”

	“You want some food?”  Ranma asked as he showed her some of the food he had made.  
At that point they both heard the girl’s stomach growl, which caused her blush hotly in 
embarrassment.

	“Yes please.”  Astrea replied and Ranma handed over a plate of food to her, which she 
then took a small bite.  “It’s good.”

	“Thank you.”

	“Can I ask you a question?”  Astrea asked, halfway through their meal.

	“Sure, what?”

	“Why don’t you like me, I mean, your other form?”  Astrea asked and saw Ranma sigh.

	“My father was raising me to be a ‘Man among men’.  He was telling me how I should 
act, how I should behave, and what I should be doing.  Then he tells me how women are, how 
weak they are, what women should be doing and all that.  Having all that in mind, and then 
finding out I turn into a girl half the time, I guess you could say I freaked out.”  Ranma replied.

	“You don’t seem as freaked out about it.”  Astrea pointed out.

	“Well, I have Stack to thank for that.  He’s been showing me that what my father has said 
was not fully true.”

	“There is something else you are afraid of when you are a girl.”

	“Yes.  It’s one of my greatest fears of being a girl.”

	“What?”

	“I’m afraid when I’m a girl, I will start falling for men.”  Ranma replied and then he 
heard Astrea start chuckling.  “Hey, it’s not funny.”

	“If you are concerned that I may make you start falling for men, you don’t have to worry 
about that.”

	“Why?”

	“I’m what you call a Lesbian.”

	“You are!”  Ranma was shocked.

	“You can thank my father for that.”

	“What did he do?”

	“I’m an only child by my father.  After I was born, he was disappointed I was a girl when 
he wanted a son.  He had an accident that prevented him from having anymore children.  In his 
grief, he became mad and started raising me to be his son.  So you can guess how I was, I was 
raised to love the opposite sex, not really knowing that the opposite sex was my own gender.”

	“So how did you find out you were really a girl?”

	“Well, it took several people to explain and show me the truth when I was almost sixteen.  
But the person that really convinced me, about who I really was, later became my lover.”

	“Who?”

	“You could say I corrupted the poor girl, but I think we corrupted each other.”

	“Who was she?”

	“Her name was Draconia.  When I first met her, she was one of those prim and proper 
type of girls that thought that everyone was below her notice, she also had the most exotic looks 
ever, which is what I think drew me to her.  But it was after a misunderstanding that she gave me 
a choice.  She would give one night with her if she gave me lessons on how to be a girl again.”

	“Obviously you took it.”

	“Yep, and after a wonderful night, I began my girl training, which I think I gave her a 
headache over since she couldn’t break me of one habit.”

	“Your love for girls.”

	“My love for other women.”

	“Wow.”

	“You could say we had similar lives.”

	“So why are we here talking to each other?”

	“Well, from what I know, it’s for us to get to know each other and for me to ask for your 
help.”

	“My help with what?”

	“There is a great evil that is trying to destroy the Earth, and I’m here to ask you for your 
help in fighting it.”

	“If I agree, what do you get out of this?”

	“Nothing.  For if you agree to help out, I’m suppose to give you my powers to help fight 
this evil.”

	“I don’t need powers to fight.”

	“Think of my powers as a scroll with a new martial arts style on it.  If I give you the 
scroll, do you automatically know it?”

	“No, I have to practice it for a while before I know it.”

	“That’s the same with my powers.  My power’s are like enhancing abilities that you will 
have to learn.”

	“If I do accept everything, what is going to happen to you?”  Ranma asked and noticed 
Astrea’s shocked look at the question and then she got a sad look.

	“I don’t know really.  I may just fade from existence for all I know.”

	Silence fell about them after Astrea said that and Ranma felt real bad about it, since he 
now hated seeing her sad like that.  It was then that an idea came to him and he hoped it would 
cheer her up.

	“How about a deal?”  Ranma asked.

	“What kind of deal?”  Astrea replied.

	“If I accept to do the help you need, would you accept my proposition?”

	“What is it?”

	“To be my sister.”

	“What!  Why?”

	“Well, the big reason was I thought my female form was a curse and not another person.  
Plus, since I was traveling my entire life, I never had any siblings, so I wanted to know what 
having one is like.”

	“I never had a brother; I also wonder what it would be like.  Sure I accept.”  Astrea said 
and they both nodded their heads in agreement.

	“I have to ask, what is up with the skin tight ninja outfit?”

	“What, don’t you like it?”  Astrea teased as she posed as best as she could while being 
careful of her injuries on her back.  She then giggled as she saw Ranma blushing.  “I take that as a 
yes.”

	“Isn’t there any support to stop the ‘Bounce Factor’, as Stack puts it, ‘cause I didn’t see a 
bra on you when I treated your injuries.”

	“Well, the suit is suppose to support us girls, but with the back of my suit in shreds, the 
support is gone.  So as you put it, my ‘Bounce Factor’ is not stopped, plus I don’t think these suits 
have underwear in them, because they would show through, if you know what I mean.  So when 
you use my powers, this suit is part of the deal.”

	“So how do I get your powers?”

	“You already have them now; you just have to figure out how to use them.  Close your 
eyes.”

	“Why?”

	“Just do it.”  Astrea told Ranma and he closed his eyes.  He then heard her get up and 
walked over to him and leaned over so she was near his ear and she whispered into his ear.  
“Thanks for choosing to help me.  While you are able to, please look after Draconia for me, you 
would be able to tell who she is, she has the most exotic looks to her.”

	“Okay I will.”

	“Also, if I am still around later, I will be here to talk to you if you have no one else to talk 
to, brother.”

	Astrea then kissed his cheek and Ranma opened his eyes in shock to look at her, but 
found himself lying on his back, looking at the ceiling of the Tendo Living room with the three 
Tendo sister’s looking down at him in concern.

	“What is going on?”  Ranma asked in confusion as he looked around.

	“We were concerned about you.”  Akane replied as all the other girls helped Steve and 
Ranma stand back up again.

	“So what are the concerned looks for?”  Steve asked as he placed a hand over his 
stomach as a pain shot through him.

	“They were concerned because your male soul was fighting your female one.”  Helios 
replied.  “Speaking of which, how did it go?”

	“I came to an understanding with mine, how’d yours go Red?”  Steve said and looked 
over to Ranma.

	“The same, we came to an understanding with each other.”  Ranma replied.

	“That is good.  So do you all accept being the new generation of the Senshi of the Star 
Kingdom?”  Helios asked.

	They all started looking at each other, thinking what the others are going to do.  It was 
then that Usagi walked to the center of the group.

	“I wanted to help my friends, even though they hate me, I just can’t leave them to fight 
this fight on their own.  If it means I have to pretend to be my sister to do it, then so be it.”  Usagi 
said as she held her right hand out in front of her and looked over at the others.  Steve was the 
next one to walk forward and placed his right hand on top of Usagi’s.

	“I better keep an eye on you, or your parents are going to have my head.”  Steve said to 
Usagi.  “Besides, what’s another adventure to add to my list.”

	Shampoo was the next one to add her hand to the group.

	“Where Stack go, Shampoo follow.”  Shampoo said.

	The next one to add their hand to the group was Kasumi, which surprised Nabiki and 
Akane and what really shocked them was what she said.

	“I was told I needed to find a way to become Kasumi again and I guess this is a good way 
as any to start looking.”  Kasumi said.

	Nabiki and Akane joined in placing their hands, since they didn’t want to be out done by 
their sister.  Finally everyone looked over at Ranma to see what he was going to decide.  After 
being stared at for several moments, he cracked.

	“Okay, fine, I’m in.”  Ranma said and placed his hand with the others.  “As much as I 
hate having to be a girl for it, I guess this is a good a time as any to see how well my other half 
works.”  Ranma caught the look from Steve, knowing what he was thinking.

	“So have you all decided?”  Helios asked.

	“Helios, you have your Star Senshi.”  Usagi said as they all lowered their hands and saw 
all the foxes look relieved.

	“Why don’t you try transforming into your Senshi outfits?”  Haiyashi said and everyone 
looked at each other and silently agreed to try it, but Steve had a question.

	“What about me and Red being male, if the Star Senshi are all female, would that cause a 
problem.”  Steve asked.

	“It might be better if the both of you change to make it easier for you.”  Polyarch said.

	“Okay.”  Steve said.

	Steve and Ranma head to the kitchen to splash themselves.  En route to the kitchen, 
Shampoo asked Steve if he was alright when she noticed he was holding his stomach and having 
minor discomfort.  Steve told her that after he came out of that dazed thing with the crystal, it felt 
like someone punched him in the gut.  Shampoo wanted to help him, but he waved her off saying 
that if it doesn’t go away later, then he will have her help him.  After the both of them changed to 
their female forms, they rejoined the others in the living room.

	“Okay, we’re ready, so how are we suppose to transform.  Do we have some sort of item 
to change?”  Steve asked, remembering that Saria had an item in hand when she changed.

	“No.  No item is needed; all that we can say is that the ability lies within.”  Helios said.

	Everyone was confused on what to do since they had no idea how to do it.  After a few 
minutes of everyone being stumped on what to do, it was Usagi that suddenly realized something.

	“Hey, I may have an idea.”  Usagi said.

	“What?”  Everyone asked.

	“When I change into Sailor Moon, I feel a certain burst of energy in the center of my 
chest.  From what I know of the Star Senshi, their powers were told to be an internal power.  So if 
we can tap into that energy, then we may be able to transform.”  Usagi explain.

	“It’s worth a shot.”  Nabiki said.

	All of them closed their eyes to concentrate on finding their inner energy.  After 
searching within themselves for several moments, slowly one by one they started to smile when 
they found their inner energy and concentrated on transforming.  Suddenly they all felt a burst of 
energy come from the center of their chest.  When they all opened their eyes, they noticed that 
they had all transformed.  There was some rejoicing realizing that they were able to get past the 
first step.

	After the minor celebration was over, they decided to check out their new outfits.  For the 
most part, all their outfits were the same, a black skin-tight ninja outfit, with the mid-rift a mesh 
like material.  The only difference each one had was the color of the sashes around their waists 
and head bands, a symbol on their left breast, and the ones that had long hair, found their hair in a 
ponytail with the ponytail being held by a hair clip that had the same symbol as the one on their 
left breast.

	So for Usagi, she had golden yellow sash and headband with a sun burst symbol on her 
left breast and hair clip.  Ranma found out she had a red sash and head band with a manticore 
symbol on her left breast and hair clip, which she also found out that her pigtail is now a free 
flowing ponytail.  Kasumi found she was wearing white with a phoenix symbol.  Akane was 
wearing green with a dragon symbol.  Nabiki was wearing orange and had a hawk as a symbol.  
Steve was wearing purple and had flames as a symbol.  Shampoo found that her hair was similar 
to Ranma’s, in which her normal hair style was gone and she had a flowing ponytail.  She was 
also wearing blue and had a saber-tooth tiger as a symbol.

	It was also then that everyone noticed the new looks that Akane and Kasumi had.  
Akane’s ears were now pointed and her eyes were reptilian, to Steve, her features appeared elven 
like. It was then that Ranma realized who Astrea was talking about and swallowed nervously.  On 
Kasumi, the only added feature to her was now she had a set of white feathery wings.  After that, 
everyone checked to see if that they were real, and when it was discovered it was real, they 
marveled at it.  Achilles then mentioned to Kasumi to retrack her wings into her and she 
concentrated on it and the others watched as it looked like her wings were being sucked into her.

	When the wings were gone, Kasumi twirled around to see how it felt.  Nabiki noticed 
something and mentioned it to Kasumi and drew everyone’s attention to it, was when she 
retracked her wings, it left a tattoo on her back of a set of wings.  When the others checked it out 
through the mesh part of the outfit, they figured that the tattoo went from her shoulder to her 
buttocks.  Kasumi thought that when they changed back, she would check to see if the tattoo was 
still there and how big it really is.  Ranma in the meantime was staring at Akane’s new looks.  
She realized who Draconia is that Astrea was talking about and almost regretted promising to 
take care of her.

	“What about the other Senshi outfit?”  Usagi asked the foxes.

	“If you are referring to the Moon Kingdom outfit, only you and Stack have one, since the 
both of you have a connection to them.  If that isn’t the outfit you are talking about, then we have 
no clue what you’re talking about, since the ninja outfit is the only one the Star Kingdom have.”  
Helios replied.

	“Oh.”  Usagi said.

	“Hey, try them on.”  Kasumi suddenly said.

	“What?”  Usagi and Steve asked.

	“Try them on; we want to see how they look.”  Kasumi said

	Steve and Usagi looked at each other and both silently agreed that they better do it or the 
others will keep bugging them until they do.

	“Alright.”  Usagi agreed and the both of them saw the others smile.

	“Do you know how to transform?”  Usagi asked Steve as she was suddenly holding a 
golden rod.

	“Just give me a moment to figure out how to get that roddie thing.”  Steve said and Usagi 
was about to comment when a rod appeared in Steve’s hand.  “Ah, here it is.”

	“Are you ready?”

	“Let’s get this over with.”

	“Sol power make up!”

	“Titan power make up!”

	There was a sudden burst of light from the both of them, but not bright enough that the 
others had to close their eyes.  When the transforming cycle was complete, they noticed that the 
others had wide-eyed expressions and that Ranma was blushing.  When asked, the others said that 
they spun nude for a few seconds, which caused Usagi and Steve to blush for a moment and Steve 
leaned over and told Usagi that they were going to have a talk about it, which caused Usagi to 
swallow nervously.  Then the others started checking out the Senshi outfits that Steve and Usagi 
was wearing.

	Usagi realized that Sailor Sun’s outfit looked just like her first Sailor Moon outfit, but 
instead of red, white, and blue colors, it was white and golden-yellow.  Glancing over at Steve, 
Usagi saw that she was dressed the same as Sailor Saturn, but the black and purple colors were 
switched.  She was also a staff in her hand that almost looked like the Silence Glaive, but without 
the blade part.  It was then that the others started checking them out.  Usagi chuckled when she 
saw Nabiki and Shampoo mess around on Steve, especially when Nabiki raised the back of 
Steve’s skirt and seeing her blush as Steve told Nabiki to stop doing that.

	“Hey Stack.”  Usagi called out.

	“Yeah, Usagi?”  Steve said.

	“Check out your nails.”  Usagi said and smiled inwardly as Steve then removed her right 
hand glove and became wide-eyed.

	“Nail polish!”  Steve exclaimed.  “What is the point of having nail polish on if we’re 
wearing gloves, but I do like how it looks though.”

	Steve held her hand up to show everyone and they saw that her thumbnail was purple and 
when it got to her pinkie finger, it was black.  After marveling about it for a bit, Nabiki looked at 
the time and realized that they better hurry.

	“Hey guys, we better change back and quickly, dad and Mr. Saotome will be back soon.”  
Nabiki said and so everyone transformed back into their normal attire.
