For those of you who don't like original characters, at least bare
with me for ep.2! It's more of a solid x-over there!

THE CATALYSTS
Episode 1:
Skimpy Skirted Senshi...
Protectors of the Universe?!
----------------------------------------------
I'll be going by the American(I'm just
too used to them, sorry!) names for Sailor Moon.
Here's the translation.
Key:
Usagi : Serena
Ami : Amy
Minako : Mina
Makoto : Lita
Rei : Raye
----------------------------------------------
Dimension: 11045 : Moon Worlds
----------------------------------------------
In the back alley of Tokyo, three young
men laid unconscious on the mirky ground. There
was also a panda with his head stuck in a
garbage can, but that's not important. One of
the men began to wake up. Getting off the
ground, he looked over his surroundings
using his the wall to keep him from falling.
"Where...? That's right, the portal.
Is everybody all right?" Kenji asked.
Gairin got up and was still weary
from the early battle. He moaned softly in
pain. "I feel like I just fought Ranma a
second time..."
"Well at least you're alive!" Kenji
reminded him. "Hey Ranma! Are you all right?"
Ranma-chan, who was lying against the wall,
replied, "I'm alive ain't I!? Now what the
hel...pop? What're you doing here?"
The panda quickly pulled out a sign.
<I was pulled into that vortex because> He
crossed out a couple words and replaced
them with other words. <Because I jumped in
and tried to save you!> The panda grinned in
a human like fashion.
Ranma-chan looked incredulous. "Yeah right!"
She turned her attention back to Kenji and
Gairin who seemed to searching for something.
"Anyways like you said, what the hell is going on!?"
Kenji was about to answer when Gairin
saw a big panda next to the red-haired girl.
"Who are you and what's THAT doing here?!" He
said pointing at the Mr.Saotome, edging back
while doing so.
Then he held up a sign. <What? Haven't
you ever seen a cursed martial artist?>
"I'm Ranma, remember? And that's my
pop." Ranma-chan replied casually.
It took a moment for Gairin to get it
while Kenji was explaining it to him.
Ranma-chan was getting annoyed because of
getting cut off. "Now, as I was saying, what's
going on here!?" Ranma-chan demanded.
"It's simple."
Everybody turned to see Kyoto lying
against the wall with his arms crossed and
Ushiro with his hands in his pockets.
"I think we'll have to get you a
canteen of warm water to carry around."
Kyoto suggested. If he was fazed in anyway
he didn't show it.
----------------------------------------
Sub-Dimension: 11044 : Time Chamber
----------------------------------------
In a room filled with all sorts of
different colors a women pondered as she
looked down on the six figures. She wore
that of the Sailor Senshi with her hair
flowing down to her waist. Her staff in her hand,
she peered in closer.
"Who are these young travelers?
Friend or foe? I shall wait a little while
longer. I cannot let them disturb the
time-line."
-------------------------------
Dimension: 11045 : Moon Worlds
-------------------------------
After about several minutes of explaining
their situation to Ranma and Genma, they set
out to find out where they were. Of course
they had already found both of them some hot
water.
"What was that thing that Kyoto did
then?" Ranma asked.
Kenji shrugged. "Probably some sort of
side-effect of crossing dimensions."
"Side-effect? Does that mean that I've
become stronger too?!"
"Could be. Who knows? Maybe we get
stronger everytime we cross dimensions."
"Really!?" Ranma asked excitedly.
"Yup." (Just to be sure, I guess I'll ask
him. Who knows? Maybe animes do have time-lines)
Kenji thought. "By the way, I was just wondering
if you had already tried marrying Akane
yet?" He wondered.
"Marry? What the heck are talking
about!? Why would I even want to try to
marry a tomboy like her!?" Ranma yelled in
disbelief.
Kenji shrugged to himself. (Oh, well.
Ranma 1/2 doesn't really have any kind of
timeline anyways. Only key moments.)
"Why'd ya want to know?"
"Just out of curiousity."
Just before they passed the corner,
five girls burst out of the restraunt
behind them. They turned their heads
to see what was making all the noise.
Raye stepped in front of one of
the other girls. She looked angry.
"You shouldn�t have made such
mess of yourself, Serena!" She yelled.
"Because of you we got kicked out! I
didn't even get to finish my appetizer!"
The girl named Serena looked like
she was about to cry. "But Raye! They said it
was all you could eat and-and...WAAAAAH!!!
Stop yelling at me! WAAAH!!!"
Their friends beside them looked
grimace.
Then Mina stepped closer to her friend.
{So much for a celebration, huh?} She
whispered into her ear.
{You're telling me!} Lita replied.
After about a minute they notice
the dimension-travelers staring at
them.
"WHAT YOU LOOKING AT!!!" Raye yelled
at Ranma.
Ranma stepped back and gulped.
"Uhh, come on now, Raye. Lets
go back to the temple," Amy suggested
nervously.
"Fine! I still can't believe
that a perfect lunch was spoiled
because of..."
Their voice disappeared into
the loud streets of Tokyo. There
was a long silence that followed.
Ranma broke the silence. "That
was weird." Not that he hadn't seen
anything weirder.
"Odd girls," Genma agreed.
The day continued un-eventfully.
They did find out that they were in
Tokyo where the Sailor Senshi protected
the citizens from evil monsters. They
figured that they were going to be
there for more than one day, so they
rented an apartment with Gairin's pocket
change. That's a lot of change!
-------------------------------
The next day, they spent 5 hours
running around the city looking for
monsters but with no luck. They
guessed that if they wanted to open
another portal, they'd have to fight
one of those monsters since they
were from that dimension. They met
back at their apartment.
Everybody looked very frustrated.
Except Mr. Saotome who said that he was
going to test out the room service.
"Argh! Why can't we find any of
those damn monsters! I need some
action!" Ranma yelled.
"It seems that wherever we
leave, the monsters show up a second
later along with the Sailor Senshi,"
Ushiro said coolly.
Kenji looked up frustrated. "I
don't get it! In the TV show, they
show up constantly even though the
Senshi aren't even looking for them!"
"I don't see what the problem is.
I could stay here forever!" Genma
said happily.
Everybody glared at the poor
little panda in the corner.
Genma quickly doused himself in
water. <Don't listen to me! I'm just a
panda!>
Kyoto spoke for the first time.
"Why not just wait around not thinking
about finding them?"
Everybody glanced at each other.
Kenji shrugged. "Why not? It's
worth a try."
They started towards the door.
Gairin glared back at panda before hitting
him with some warm water. "You're coming
whether you want to or not!"
Genma merely nodded.
------------------------------
In the middle of a park six men
waited. Not for monsters, not for Senshi,
just...waited. Birds flew over head,
frightened, as if running from something.
"How long are we supposed to wait
here!" Ranma said in a bored tone.
Kyoto shrugged. As if on timing,
several monsters popped out of nowhere.
The monsters looked like demons with no
wings, they were black and red. The mouths
dripped with hunger for their energy.
Everybody jumped back ready to fight.
The monsters dragged their feet toward
them.
"Give me your energy!!!" the
monsters muttered.
Everybody looked back at Kyoto
who was still lying against the tree
with his arms crossed. Their eyes said
what do we do now?!
"You wanted a monster didn't you?
How am I supposed to know," he said
coolly.
"Don't be a chicken, boy! Show
me that you're a man among men!" Genma
gave Ranma a hard push on the back.
"H-Hey!" Ranma jumped back almost
getting clawed in the chest. "Fine! I'll
show you!"
Ranma launched his foot forward,
connecting with the monsters face. He
jumped over the monster's lazy attacks,
slamming his leg into the monster's side.
The monster screeched in pain. It no
longer took this battle lightly; they
attacked Ranma all at once, almost going
berserk.
Kenji looked at Gairin. Gairin
scratched the back of his head. "We can
probably round up enough energy by
doing this I suppose..."
"Let's go then!" Kenji jumped
into the battle field followed by
Kyoto and Ushiro.
Gairin was about to follow when he
noticed Genma watching the battle
behind a tree. He walked up behind him
and tapped him on the shoulder. Genma looked
behind him, then sighed.
"I know, I know." Genma and
Gairin finally joined the battle.
----------------------------------
Sub-Dimension: 11046 : Negaverse
----------------------------------
The room was dark and gloomy. The
center of attention was a women with
a crystal ball. She was surrounded by
evil spirits and monsters. Her
attention was focused on the crystal
ball which had an image on it.
"This is very interesting,"
the women mused, "They seem to be in
equal power with my newly created
minions, if not stronger. Hmm...
Nephrite."
Another figure appeared in
the center of the room. "Yes my
queen?"
"I want you to capture those
earthlings down there. I will use
them as test subjects. Go now!"
she commanded.
"As you wish." Nephrite bowed
slightly before vanishing.
----------------------------------------
Sub-Dimension: 11044 : Time Chamber
----------------------------------------
She walked back and forth, frantically
thinking of something. Her staff
tapped the floor as she walked.
"What should I do?! I cannot
allow them to stay here any longer but
I sense that the Sailor Senshi are
coming. I cannot reveal myself to them
yet, but if they stay any longer there
is no doubt that the Sailor Senshi will
get involved!"
Unfortunately, she had pondered
on that thought for too long.
-----------------------------------
Dimension: 11045 : Moon Worlds
-----------------------------------
"Hryuu Shoten Ha!"
The giant tornado lifted the
remaining monsters off their feet and
disappeared within it. The twister left
a crater where the monsters were standing
leaving nothing there but dirt. The park
now looked more like a battle field than
anything else.
"Was that all? Hmph! I thought
they were supposed to be strong!"
Ranma said smugly.
Gairin looked incredulously. "Are
you crazy!? Do you know how close you were
to being killed!?"
Gairin pointed to Ranma's clothes
which had been shredded beyond repair,
although he wasn't even scratched himself
except for a couple of cuts and bruises.
"Wha-?" Sensing something, Ranma,
Genma, Ushiro, and Kyoto whipped their heads
around; a man with long brown hair hovered over
their heads.
The man, Nephrite, wore a gray
uniform with a shoulder armor on each
side. They showed recognition of his rank.
Gairin, who was closest, took a step
back. "H-he's flying!!!" He stuttered.
Nephrite smirked at the bystanders.
"My name is Nephrite of the Negaverse.
You will come with me if you don't want to get hurt!"
"Hmph! I'm not impressed!" Kenji
grinned at him.
"Neither am I!" Ranma agreed.
"You're probably just like all the other
demons! All show and no strength!" He was
about to attack when he was interrupted.
"Stop right there Nephrite!"
The attention was re-directed at
the five female figures looming above
them. They jumped off the building and
into the light. The one with long pony-
tails stepped up. It seemed that she
was the leader of the group.
Everyone, except Nephite and
Kenji, looked in awe of the women.
Probably because of the outfits that
they were wearing, except Kenji, who
had knew who they were, looked a little
less surprised.
"I am Sailor Moon!" She got into
a pose. "Champion of Justice! I will
right wrongs and triumph over evil! In
name of the moon-" she lifted her
finger toward Nephrite "-I will punish
you!"
The rest of them introduced them-
selves.
"And together we are the Sailor
Senshi!" Big pose.
Meanwhile, Nephrite was not
impressed. "Stay out of my business!
You're not needed here!"
Sailor Jupiter spoke up. "It's our
business when you attack helpless
citizens!"
"Yeah!" The other Senshi agreed
with her.
Although I can't say much for
our helpless citizens. Where as Gairin
and Kenji tried to contain their
laughter, Ranma and the others were
not so light.
Kyoto raised an eyebrow.
"Helpless?" Ushiro asked.
"Helpless!?" Ranma yelled. He
shook his head. "I don't know who
you think you are but stay out of my
fight!"
Genma nodded. "It is our duty as
martial artist to protect the weak
and innocent. So you'd best stay out
young ladies." He said confidently
while thinking, (I wonder if one these
young ladies would like to be Ranma's
fianc�? With costumes like those, they
gotta be super models with lots of
money!!!)
The Sailor Senshi looked furious.
Even Sailor Mercury.
"Excuse me! But we are the Sailor
Senshi, protectors of the universe!"
Sailor Mercury declared.
Sailor Jupiter and Venus weren't
exactly thinking along the same lines.
(Arrogant, but cute!) They stared
at Ranma. (I wonder if he has a girl-
friend?) They thought.
While Mars and Moon thought,
(Isn't that the same man from before?)
A voice entered the demon
commander's head.
//Nephrite!//
/Huh?/
//You have taken too long!//
/Forgive me my queen/
//None the less, I have decided//
/Yes?/
//You will lure all of them//
//into the Negaverse//
//I will lend you a horde of//
//demons to help you//
//DO NOT FAIL ME!!!//
/Yes my queen/
The voice disappeared.
(Lazy old hag...)
//I HEARD THAT!!!//
Nephrite gulped. (Anyways,
back to business.) He raised his arm and
let the energy gather. At last he
released the energy between the Senshi
and the travelers.
A black and purple portal formed from
the energy, opening up large enough
for over two dozen demons to jump
out.
"Enough talk!" Nephrite
yelled. The demons surrounded them,
making a large circle.
Everybody turned their
attention to him.
The demon commander turned
his attention to Ranma. "If you
are man enough, you will come and
follow me!" He disappeared into
the dark portal.
"I'll do that!" Ranma
followed him in.
Genma looked around for
a moment then turned his attention
back toward the portal. "Wait for
me boy!" He jumped in.
Kenji reached for them.
"Wait! Not yet you fools!" He
ran into the portal.
The rest of the travellers
looked at each other, then shrugged.
They ran after their other
companions.
Now it was the Senshi's
turn.
"What more choice do we
have?" It was Mars who spoke up.
"We can't just leave them there!
Come on!" She faded with the
blackness.
"Do I have to!" Sailor Moon
whined.
They nodded.
"But I don't wanna go!!!"
They dragged her in. The
demons following soon after. The
portal closed showing no sign
that it was there before.
----------------------------------------
Sub-Dimension: 11044 : Time Chamber
----------------------------------------
"NOO!!!" she screamed. Setsuna
swore to herself in frustration.
"How could I have allowed this to
happen! Some time-guardian I am! Now the only
thing I can do is wait! I can't break the
barrier on the Negaverse alone!" She
stopped walking.
"Just wait," she whispered. "I've
waited this long. Surely I can wait
longer. I sense that fate, or destiny, will
bring them here again."
So, she waited. And watched.
-----------------------------------
Sub-Dimension: 11046 : Negaverse
-----------------------------------
The land was barren and black.
There was hardly any light. The
place reeked of blood and was home
to thousands of demons that would
give their lives in a flash for
Queen Baryl.
Nephrite stood in front of
Ranma grinning. Ranma doing the
same. Behind Nephrite stood
Queen Baryl and her right hand
man, Malachite. Along side
Malachite stood Zoisite and a
thousand demons. Behind Ranma
there was Genma, Kenji, Gairin,
Kyoto, Ushiro, Sailor Moon, Mars,
Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus. Not
exactly what you call an even
fight.
-------------------------------
Dimension: 11045 : Moon Worlds
-------------------------------
On top of a large building
a lone figure stood with a long
black cape. He wore tuxedo
topped with a white mask that
cover his eyes and a black top hat
on his head.
(Sailor Moon...are you in
trouble? Where are you?) The
figure thought. (And where is my
theme music? I always have my
theme music on! It's suppost to
make look cool!)
---------------------------------
Sub-Dimension: 11044 : Time Room
---------------------------------
Still waiting, she looked at
her watch.
"Damn! It's only been five
minutes! How long will this take?!"
---------------------------------
Sub-Dimension: 11046 : Negaverse
---------------------------------
"Welcome to the Negaverse
ladies and gentlemen," Queen
Baryl announced. "I have brought
you here because..."
Genma walked up behind his
son. {Ranma!}
"Huh?" Ranma looked behind
him.
{Lets get out of here while
we still can!}
{But my duel...!} he argued.
Kenji walked up behind him.
{He's right! I don't think that
Nephlite is going to play fair!}
Reluctantly, Ranma nodded.
Kenji motioned to the others. They
slowly started to sneka away while
the Sailor Senshi were discussing
their own plans.
{Done! I've finished taking
up data on the place.} Sailor
Mercury stated.
{Great! Now let's get out of
here!} Sailor Moon said happily.
{But what about-} Jupiter
started.
{WHAT THE?!} Mars whispered
hoarsely. {They're gone!}
{There they are!} Venus
pointed to the fleeing shadows
of the dimension-travelers.
{Let's follow them!} Sailor
Moon started off toward them
followed by the rest of the Senshi.
All the while, Queen Baryl
was practically talking to herself.
One of the lower demons stepped up.
"Umm, m-my Queen?"
"QUIET!!! NO ONE IS TO SPEAK
WHILE I AM TALKING!!!" With a
flick of her finger she banished
the demon into nothing, the cries
of pain still echoing the land.
"Now, where was I? Ah yes,
I remember now! Therefore, I am
the most beautiful..." She looked
up into the darkness, her eyes
sparkling with stars.
Malachite made a slight motion
for Nephrite and a couple hundred
other demons to follow them.
Nephrite nodded.
*cough* *cough*
Queen Baryl turned to
Malachite with a critical eye.
"WHAT IS IT!?"
"The test subjects and the
Senshi-" started Malachite.
"YES, WHAT ABOUT THEM?!"
Malachites eye started
twitching furiously. Trying to control
his anger in his voice, he spoke up
again. "They have-"
"THEY HAVE WHAT?! HURRY UP!
GET ON WITH IT!"
Zoisite, who had been waiting
silently, couldn't take it anymore.
"ARE YOU BLIND WOMEN!!!? THEY'RE GONE!!!
THEY'RE GONE BECAUSE OF YOUR STU~~~PID
SPEACH!!!!" He breathed heavily, blurting
out that last outbreak of words.
Electricity rose from her veins,
her red hair waving furiously. The barren
land began to rumble. Everybody stepped
back.
Zoisite dashed behind Malachite.
"Mommy..."
"Uhh, I think we'll be going
now to capture them...We'll be right
back!"
They ran. The demons, the
commanders, everybody. As fast they
could toward the Senshi and the
travelers. Not because it was their
job, but because...they certainly didn't
want to be there when she exploded!
Queen Baryl finally snapped out of
it. "COME BACK HERE!!! COME BACK
HERE SO THAT I CAN TEAR YOUR
LITTLE HEADS!!!!!!"
The demoness started to grow
and she didn't stop.
-----------------------------------
All the way over where the Senshi
and the dimension-travelers were
running.
They turned.
And they saw.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" She exclaimed.
The Senshi turned to Mercury.
"What?" She said innocently,
blushing with embarrasment.
They saw Nephrite running
toward them followed by one hundred
demons. Behind them were Malachite,
Zoisite, over a thousand demons, and
a 50-foot tall demoness who looked
pissed.
Mars turned to Ranma who was
running beside her. Venus and Jupiter
were on the other side of him, of course.
"This is all your fault!"
"What?!" Ranma replied
incredulously. He began to think. (What
is with people and saying that it's
always my fault!?)
"Why did you have to follow
Nephrite into that portal!?" asked
Mars.
"Cause' it was an obvious
challenge! I never back down a
challen-!"
*SMACK*
"Why'd you do that for?!"
He yelled, rubbing the back of his
head. Ranma looked back to see who
did it.
"Help us out get out of here,
boy!" Genma said while smacking off a
lower demon from his leg.
"Huh?" Ranma turned to see
the Senshi and the travelers
fighting off Nephrite and his
demons while running from them.
Nephrite raised up his hand
in frustration. "Take this!
STARLIGHT!!!"
Five black and white beams
flew from his fingers. Most of
them dodged the beams but still
got hit in the side or shoulder.
"That's it!" Kenji yelled.
Jumping backwards into the air
he pointed two fingers to his
heart. "LOVE CHARM!!!" He directed
his fingers toward one of the
demons and shot off a small red
heart. The small heart passed
through several demons and caused
them to attack their surrounding
comrades. The others followed
suit.
"RAIN OF THE DEMONS!!!" With
a brush of his hand, dozens of
spiritual demons fell from the
air, slicing anything that
touched them. Their form mimicked
that of which their targets were.
Gairin stuck his hand in
his pocket and pulled out a coin.
Gairin grinned. "HEAVENLY CENT!!!"
He threw the coin so fast that not
even the naked eye could see it. The
coin fell down with lightning speed,
cutting threw the demons' chest like
paper.
And so on:
"VENUS LOVE ME CHAIN!!!"
"MARS FIRE SURROUND!!!"
"JUPITER THUNDER CRASH!!!"
"MERCURY BUBBLES!!!"
"MOON TIARA MAGIC!!!"
"RAN RYU CHI!!!"
"MOUKO TAKIBISHA!!!"
"FAT PANDA PUNCH!!!"
Their attacks finished
off about a third of the demons,
though the commanders were still
a live. Queen Baryl opened up her
mouth and shot off a gigantic beam
of nega-energy. The energy of all
of this caused yet again, another
time-space portal to open. Amazingly
enough, they didn't even notice.
All of them, including the
Senshi, Nephrite, and about two
dozen other demons, ran right into
it. Fortunately, it closed before
any one else could go through.
-----------------------------------
Dimension: 100016 : Cursed Springs
-----------------------------------
It was a beautiful day in
Nerima. There was no doubt about that.
The Tendo�s were enjoying the
weekend at home where Kasumi cooked
up lunch and Soun played shogi with
himself. There was a knock on the door.
The door slid open.
Soun moved a piece on the board.
"Ha! I win again!" After a moment he
sighed heavily. "It's just not the same
without Saotome."
"Why hello Ryoga!" Kasumi greeted
him pleasantly.
"Where is he! Where's Ranma! I'm
not going to let him run away this
time! I don't believe that story that
everybody�s talking about! Lies! All
lies just to get away from me!" Ryoga
muttered.
"How sweet! You're such a good
friend of his to be worried about him like
this!"
"What?!" He was about to say
something else when someone shoved him
aside.
"Out of the way!" The man said.
He wore dragon scales with green pants.
His hair, wild with black fury. His eyes
were cold and uncaring. Known to turn
into one of the most feared monsters on
the planet.
Kasumi, ignoring all of that,
greeted him. "Hello Mr. Taro! My, if I
knew there were going to be visitors, I
would of cooked something up!"
Taro chose to ignore her, only
giving her a nod in acknowledgment. He
turned his head back toward Ryoga, his
cold eyes staring Ryoga down. "Where are
they?"
"Who? What are you talking?"
Ryoga replied angrily.
"Happosai and fem-boy. I've got
another plan for..."
Before he could finish a portal
appeared behind him. "What the...?"
He looked into the portal.
Ryoga got closer to the portal
and peered in. "I think I see
something!"
Deep inside the portal were
small humanoid figures, getting bigger
as they approached.
Taro, noticing this, stepped
back. "What's going on here?" He was
about to turn when another portal
appeared, looking exactly like the
other one except no small figures.
Ryoga finally realized what they
were until it was too late.
*AAAHHHHHHH!!!*
That was all you could hear
within the midst of the humans and demons
running right through the koi pond. [It'd
look like that scene from Ranma the Movie
#1, but a little less hectic]
Ryoga was caught up in the crowd and was
rammed into the other portal that appeared
on the other side. Taro was too close to
the other portal, so he was also forced
inside. When both portals disappeared all
that was left was a beat up old man, looking
like he had just gone threw with Neko-ken
training. Big footprints were all over his
body in the place of claw marks.
"Ah! Saotome, you're back! Now we
can go back to that rematch we were
having!" Soun said joyfully, oblivious to
the condition of his friend.
"Grrmph," was the panda's rugged reply.
"Oh my!"

[Author's Note's]
I'm not sure if I got the translation on
these move right but here's what I think
they roughly translate into.
Kyoto's Special Move: Ran Ryu Chi
(Wild Spirit Energy)
I don't think I need to translate Ranma's
moves.
Also, thanks to pre-reader Tue!
