Okay, a few author's notes before we get into this...
-First off, you'll notice I ditched the "Ramza Beoulve" bit in the
header. Nobody was buying it, and it was getting dull.
-At present, you'll only notice elements of 4 series involved in
Sakusen, not including the non-anime element involved which defines
the theme of the entire story. While 4 series isn't bad for a
multi-xover, it's not the full scope of Sakusen. Are you ready for
this? There will be characters from thirteen different series in this
fic.
-As for that non-anime element, well...think about the name I've been
posting this under so far, then grab your nearest J-E dictionary and
look up "Sakusen"...^_^
I hope to see more C&C on this now that the plot is actually moving.
Enjoy!
"Twenty-eight crystals from four sacred gods,
Each entrusted to the heart of the descendants,
With the nine holy maidens to watch over them.
Destiny will overtake them when the time is right,
And bring them together, to face Fate as one,
When the sacred lands are threatened.
So says the legend passed from the First Shrine,
the legacy of the gods to the people of this world."

-Prologue: The History of Sakusen and the Late Emperor-
So does this mean there are going to be twenty-eight Descendents?
That's one heck of a lot of characters to keep straight. Random
comments.
I did like Ranma in the mentor role, but given that Gokou is
half-Saiyan, wouldn't Gohan have been a more appropriate choice?
Given how "Endymion" acts in SM, I expect he's going to play it "Joe
Mysterious", never letting the others in on everything he knows or all
of his plans.
Usagi seems a touch more determined than normal, but I suppose there
isn't really time to have her freak out of Luna's death.
Ranma is, well, Ranma. He's as arrogant as ever, though he seems to
have a touch more responsibility. Just as long as he doesn't throw
Gokou in a pit of cats for "training".
You've set up a number of long terms mysteries and problems.
Finding the shrine Maidens.
Who framed Endymion?
Who murdered Hotohori? (These may well be separate questions. I
suspect Endymion's enemies merely took advantage of opportunity, and the
emperor's true killer serves a much darker master.)
Who will become the new emperor?
I wonder if we're going to see an echo of Dragonball here. That is,
Vegita is the main bad guy for a time, but eventually he becomes an ally
of sorts as the real enemy makes itself known.
Until chapter 2.
