As the rain fell onto the unconscious martial artist, other warriors of light 
were 
awakening.  The first up were Neptune and Jupiter.  Taking stock of the 
situation, they noticed the devastation around them.  The worse part was 
seeing the scattered bodies everywhere.  Looking to their left, they noticed 
that Saturn was limping towards the front of the auditorium, more 
specifically, the hole that had ushered in the appearance of the creature 
called Akuma.  The implosion of the wall had, for a few moments, created a 
hailstorm of concrete and bricks that caught many of the spectators 
underneath.  She would try to heal as many as possible. 

Looking to see if their princess was alright, they became curious as the 
attention of Sailor Moon, Mars and Uranus were all focused on the red headed 
girl lying in a puddle that was caused by the rain coming from the hole in 
the roof.  For the life of them, neither could figure out why.

Soon all of the Inner and Outer Senshi were up, though some more hurt than 
others.  No one paid any attention to their cuts and bruises since those 
wounds would be healing at a faster than normal rate while they were in their 
Senshi form.  

Limping to his one true love, "What's wrong?" Tuxedo Kamen asked Sailor Moon.

Pointing to the unconscious girl that was the focus of most of the Senshi, 
"Ranma," Sailor Moon replied.  

"Huh?" Tuxedo Kamen replied.  Scanning the area quickly, he could not find a 
single trace of the person in question.

"He was glowing . . ." 

"Are you alright?" he asked his princess, feeling her forehead for a fever.

". . . so fast . . ."

Still not getting it, the prince of Terra looked at the red headed girl 
again, trying to figure out what was so special about her to make his love so 
astounded.  

"He turned the daimon into moon dust with a single punch," Sailor Moon 
continued.

While Tuxedo Kamen was trying to comfort their leader, Uranus moved closer to 
the female Ranma, intending to drag her out of the rain. The instant Uranus 
touched Onna-Ranma, the supposedly unconscious martial artist leaped to her 
feet, battle aura blazing which caused Sailor Uranus to stumble back in 
surprise.    

Tuxedo Kamen was the first to react, reaching into the folds of his suit to 
bring out a red rose.  This caused Onna-Ranma to turn her head into his 
direction.  The sight of a fiery red headed girl with golden eyes unnerved 
him a bit.  It was as if those two eyes were looking directly into his soul 
and found it lacking.    

Onna-Ranma scanned the people around her.  All of the girls and one male 
present had higher than normal energy output.  None of them were showing any 
signs of aggression except for the man.  Narrowing her eyes, Onna-Ranma 
prepared to dispatch the man when the girl with twin buns made a move to stop 
him.  Seeing no more hostility, Onna-Ranma turned her head to the prone form 
of her mother.  Her golden eyes vanished, replaced with clear blue ones that 
shown immense pain.  

"Why does this have to happen to me?" Onna-Ranma asked no one in particular.  
"Everyone I let get close to me get hurt or die.  WHY, KAMISAMA!? WHY!?" she 
shouted to the heavens above, falling to a kneeling position facing his 
mother.  Even with the rain, the Senshi could see that Onna-Ranma was crying.

Bending down, Mercury tried to sooth the emotionally wrecked martial artist.

Michiru could not handle the pain that she saw in Onna-Ranma's eyes. In some 
ways it resembled their princess the one time she thought she was helpless to 
aid Sailor Saturn in her fight versus Pharaoh 90.  Leaning into Uranus for 
support, Neptune sought comfort. 

Soon afterwards, Sailor Moon, Mars and Uranus were able to explain to 
everyone that the red headed girl was actually Ranma turned female.

"Hey Jupiter, do you think Sailor Moon could resurrect Ranma's mom like she 
did us when we died in Antarctica?" she asked the avatar of the largest 
planet in their solar system in a voice that was slightly above a loud 
whisper.

Faster than most people can react, Onna-Ranma was in front of Venus, her 
right hand was bundled around Venus's ribbon.  Onna-Ranma had been able to 
pick up three words from Venus's comment to Jupiter, those being Ranma's mom 
and resurrection.  "You can resurrect my mother?" she asked, her face full of 
hope.  "Tell me how," she demanded, lifting the Senshi of Love into the air 
and started shaking her.

Venus started to blush as Onna-Ranma's hands started rubbing up and down her 
chest.  She had gotten over the initial surprise of finding Onna-Ranma's face 
inches away from hers.  As Onna-Ranma continued to shake her, the feeling of 
excitement started to turn her on as she pictured the male Ranma rubbing her 
breast and whispering sweet words in her ears.  "You . . . huh have to . . . 
hmmm . . . ask Sailor Moon," Venus answered in a very shaken voice.    

Mercury, Luna and Artemis had to hide their face in embarrassment.  

Onna-Ranma was about to rush towards the one known as Sailor Moon when the 
man wearing the tuxedo and top hat stepped in her way.

"Calm down," he commanded.

*Calm down?*  Onna-Ranma thought.  *Tux-boy is standing between me and the 
cure for mom and he wants me to calm down?*  Images started to flash through 
Ranma's head of Mount Phoenix and Akane's death  These scenes have haunted 
him for weeks after returning to Japan.  Now, one of the nightmares was being 
reenacted in front of him.  Saffron was between him and the cure for Akane 
but he was too slow in getting to get.  The same thing was happening again, 
someone was between him and the cure for his mother.  *Hell will freeze over 
if I ever let that happen again,* Ranma swore.  Looking into Tuxedo Mask's 
eyes, "Move or I'll go through you," Ranma declared.  

The look that he was receiving from the martial artist sent a shiver down his 
spine.  Locked into the stare, he could see Ranma's eye shifting from blue to 
gold.  *This is not good, everything is getting out of hand,* he thought.  
"No, you will not get near Sailor Moon until you've calmed down."

At this time, Ranma's body was starting to acquire a greenish glow to it. 

The instant Ranma had threatened Endymion, Uranus and Neptune snapped into 
action.  Stepping in front of their prince and princess. 

"Hold it right there.  I know you're hurting after losing a loved one but 
this is not the way," Neptune addressed Onna-Ranma.  

"We'll protect Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Moon from you if we have to," Uranus 
stated.  

Mercury was reluctant to face off against her friend and sensei but she would 
protect Usagi if she had to.

To Mars, everything about this picture was wrong.  Though she felt huge 
amounts of negative energy from Ranma in his fight versus Akuma, she also 
felt the goodness in him throughout the tournament.  It wasn't right that 
they had to fight one of the greatest martial artists she had ever seen. 

Meanwhile, Hotaru was going through the mass of people, seeing if she could 
heal any of them.  A tear fell from her left eye as she walked by rows of 
people that had passed on.  The few that she could save lightened her heart 
somewhat.  Nearing the end of the destruction, Hotaru saw a woman who was 
barely alive.  Though she was tired, Hotaru had to try and heal her as best 
she can, hopefully to a point where the woman had a chance of surviving.  

As Hotaru's hand came into contact with Nodoka, it glowed a quiet white 
light.  The cuts on Nodoka started to close as the magic of Saturn seeped 
into her body.  Wherever it touched, it tried to heal whatever it could, 
reconnecting torn muscle tissue, replacing blood and the strengthening the 
body's immune system that had been shot.  As Nodoka's body started to get a 
healthier look, Hotaru collapsed forward, having spent too much energy. She 
would have fallen onto Nodoka had it not been for two hands gentled 
supporting her.

"Hey there my little firefly," Ran whispered.    

"Oniisan," Hotaru muttered.  

"Shhh.  Don't worry, I'll take it from here, okay?" Ran assured her.

"Hai," she replied before falling asleep due to exhaustion.  

Grinning at the sleeping Senshi, Ran placed his hands on the chest and 
completed her healing.  "Again we meet," Ran whispered.  Placing Saturn 
gently on the ground, Ran turned and faced the remaining Senshi and the 
glowing martial artist.  For someone of Ran's ability, it wasn't too hard to 
recognize the emotion that was playing on the face of the red headed girl.

Walking up to the group and ignoring Pluto who was hiding in the shadows, 
"Calm down children.  If you want to fight then fine but Saturn is in no 
condition to heal any of you and I will not because you got hurt over a 
stupid quarrel," Ran said.

Whipping her head in the direction of the new presence, Onna-Ranma growled.  
"You think that trying to get help for my mother who is hurt is stupid?" she 
shouted.  

"No.  First of all, trying to force someone to help you is wrong.  Second, 
your mother is fine.  She is just sleeping," Ran answered.

"What?" Onna-Ranma exclaimed.  Leaping over the heads of the Senshi and had 
surrounded her, Onna-Ranma approached her mother.  Bending down and examining 
her, Onna-Ranma found that the man in the uniform was right.  There was not a 
single scratch on her body.  *How?* she thought.

"Sailor Saturn and myself healed her," Ran answered Ranma's unspoken question.

Getting up, Ranma approached the man and bowed.  "Thank you.  You do not know 
how much this means to me.  If there is anything I can do . . ." Ranma left 
the question hanging.  This man had saved his mother and he owed him more 
than he can possibly imagine.  It was all Onna-Ranma could do to hold back 
the tears of joy just waiting to burst out.  *A guy don't cry,* he chanted to 
himself.    

When the man wearing a uniform strangely similar to the Generals of the Dark 
Kingdom first appeared, there many speculations as to whom he was.  Many of 
the Senshi were wary of the man but having Saturn calling him Oniisan calmed 
many of them down.  Uranus and Neptune were still held their doubts about the 
stranger.  Until they had physically evidence that he was not a danger to the 
planet or their princess, he would be considered a threat.

Smiling at Ranma, "No problem, just make sure you know who is your friend and 
who is your enemy," Ran advised, though for some reason it was not only 
directed at Ranma.  

Stepping forward, "Who are you?" Uranus asked.

"How do you know Saturn?" Neptune continued the line of question.

"So even the Outer Senshi have forgotten me but Saturn and Pluto," Ran 
sighed.  "Ask Pluto, she sees all and knows all it seems.  Until then, Ja ne!"

With that, the former General of the Guards turned around and started to walk 
away.  *Strange.  I feel another with power close by,* he thought.  Changing 
his mind, Ran decided to stay and see whom this mysterious person was, 
discretely of course.
