Chaotica: A New Savior Chapter 4 ++++++++++++ \\ Is it possible to hope… is it time… have I finally found someone to wield me?// Detaching herself to the Astral Realm, Chaotica or Shio as she was known embraced the unconscious girl and sent her spirit Into her Astral Dimension. \\ What tha… What's going on here!?// \\ Hello… Ranma Saotome…// \\ Wha who's there ?// Looking around the darkness, Ranma gasped as he remembered what happened. \\ I… I'm dead aren't I… I failed my friend and the code…// \\ You have not failed yet young Saotome.// \\ Wha… wha do you mean?// \\ I sensed your presence and know you were cable of wielding me…// Walking into view of the young boy, Shio smiled and mentally hoping he will accept her. \\ I am a weapon that will prevent you from failing Ranma… you will die if you do not accept my power.. will you take me away from this eternal boredom and wield me?// \\ Uhn… your some kinda magical thingie aren't you…// Sighing as she heard this, Shio looked into the boy's memory and smiled. \\ I know you have a bit of bad luck with magic, but I ask of you to consider wielding me… not only can I pass on knowledge that has been lost for centuries… I can also offer you the chance of friendship…// \\ a friend with you…// Looking at the ghostly figure of the young girl, Ranma smiled a bit. \\ yea well what's tha catch…// Smiling at the boy, Shio replied. \\ Very simple… you will be more powerful than you could ever thought… even help the Sailor Senshi fight the Master…// \\ The who… is this Sailor Senshi what Minako is…// \\ Yes she is a Senshi… and you will be able to help her more efficiently… though if you help her you will lose eventually…// Holding back the retort that was already at his lips and remembering what had just happened, Ranma asked. \\ Wha… why is that.// \\ Simple… your views will hamper your judgment and it will make you easy pickings for those that would follow the current enemy…// \\ I don't understand…// \\ You are a… practiceoner of art, you're a martial artist… to face the Masters Army you must be a Warrior….// \\ I… I… I can beat them it doesn't matter what you say!!// Laughing at the boy before her, Shio's eyes flashed with a crimson red and Ranmas form started to writhe in agony. +++++++++++++ Screaming as Minako was attacked by the monster, Usagi initiated her attack. " I wont allow you to harm my friends!! Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!!" Laughing at the pathetic attack, Zetroit yelped in surprise as he sensed the true power of the attack and could only brace himself for the attack. Growling as the monster braced himself for Sailor Moon's attack, Ret growled as all her frustration of being ineffective against this new enemy and her annoyance at Minako for getting herself hurt, Rei growled and let lose with an attack that none had seen before. " Mars Phoenix God Ascension Bomb!!" Blinking at the attack, Ami produced her computer and started to analyzing the power of the attack. Staring on as a giant flaming Phoenix flew towards her Zerg class foot soldier, Zodia growled and teleported from her position. Reappearing behind Sailor Mercury, Zodia smirked and asked. " Fascinating isn't it?" Still reading the stats that where running out on the mercury computer, Ami nodded and replied. " Yes it is, Those two attacks are so powerful that it's a bit of over kill… but I cannot understand how Rei…" Gasping as she realized that she was talking to someone, Ami turned around only to be greeted by a smirking Zodia. " What… ohh no…" " Rei huh…" Smirking at the information, Zodia blew the Senshi a kiss and disappeared in a flash of light. Sighing as the danger past, Ami looked towards the crater where the monster once stood and then ran over towards the obviously exhausted Sailor Mars. ++++++++++++ Screaming as he saw the destruction and pain that countless planes and races endured because of the enemy that the Senshi now faced, Ranma curled into a ball as he saw the power of the Zodiac Warriors and the carnage they brought. \\ Why… Why…// Smiling sadly at the boy, Shio turned the scenes to that of the Silver Millennium and the wars and festivals that it brought. \\ What better way to see what you claim to be able to defeat rather than seeing them at there worst… and what better way to know possible allies but by knowing there past?// Shuddering as he saw the moon cats and smiling a bit at the peacefulness, Ranma opened hi eyes the Images still going through his head. \\ I… I am glad you showed me this… I want to be saved… I want to help Minako…// Smiling at the one that would soon wield her, Shio stopped the Images and created a screen in front of her and the boy. \\ You must also see what the Ancient one… what the Master fights for…// Watching as he saw the same planets that were ravaged and burned, enter a stage of balance there was still disagreements but nothing too extreme and the people whom before were pacifist and only thought of peace now thought of weaponry for defense but also ways of keeping peace at a point where it was not damaging to their society. \\ You see the master was created to keep balance to the Universe.. but as civilizations developed that became much harder… so he started recruiting men and women and any one or thing that wanted the power that came with being in his army, the only thing he asks is loyalty and that you never fail him…// \\ Looking at the ghostly figure Ranma nodded and asked.// \\ Uhn… but that means that… Minako is the bad guy right…// Smiling, Shio thought about it and then replied. \\ It is not that she is the bad guy… I would guess it is there views of what the world should be…// Nodding his head, Ranma thought about what he had been told and sighed. \\ If I chose to uhn… wield you I won't die… I think I will stay out of the Senshi's problems… I cant help the Senshi fight for something I don't believe in… but I cant fight against Minako…// Nodding her head, Shio smiled and started to glow a deep black. \\ So I take it you will accept my gift.// \\ Uhn, Yea…// Smiling, Shio walked up to the nervous teen and kissed him on the cheek. \\ Thank you…// ++++++++++++ Opening his eyes, Ranma was greeted by the concerned faces of six girls. " Ranma!! I though you were…" Sitting up and sighing as he looked down at his/her breast, Ranma smiled and replied. " Don't worry Mina-Chan… Uhn hello…" Scratching his head as he saw the other girls glaring at Minako, Ranma smiled nervously and said. " Uhn hi sorry bout this…" " Ohhh, Uhn guy's, this is Ranma… Ranma this is, Usagi, Makoto, Ami, Rei, and Hotaru." " Hello Ranma, its nice to finally meet you." " Hey didn't you say Ranma was some hunk? … but this is obviously a girl." Emphasizing her point, Usagi poked Ranma's breast, a bit jealous. Blinking at the sensation, Ranma mumbled something and then said it a bit louder. " Could you please stop that…" Standing up as the girl withdrew her hand, Ranma sighed and glanced at Minako. " It was nice meeting ya'll uhn… see ya around…" Nodding at Ranma's retreating back, Minako turned and glared at her friends. ++++++++++ " What do you mean that there is something wrong with our calculation ?" Sighing as she sipped the liquid that was in her wine glass, Zodia glanced up at Zaphire and replied. " I would recommend that you watch the footage of the Senshi's fight…" Glancing at the annoyed woman, Zaphire nodded and waved his hand a screen appearing showing the fight. " Hmmm… I see nothing of value." " Just watch." Watching as some kid try to interfere in the fight, Zaphire frowned a bit but held his comment to himself. " It is coming up now." Watching as the Senshi of Mars released an attack that should be impossible for her, Zaphire glanced at Zodia and nodded. " I see… what was the scale of the attack?" " The attack was as powerful as Sailor Moons attack…" " I see… next time send two Zergs… and if that doesn't work… I want you to pick up the pace on our planning, the master doesn't want all the Senshi to be destroyed… Sailor Saturn and Moon especially… so I would suggest that you figure out there identities… it shouldn't be hard…and I want you to use that as a leverage." " hmmm I see where your going with this, without the Ginzuishou they cannot create there Utopia and we wont need to destroy them all…" " correct…" +++++++++++++ Frowning as he stared at his wrist, Ranma growled a bit as the bracelet did nothing. \\ why wont it do anything?// \\ Maybe because you didn't will it to do something… and its not a it I'm a she// Stopping as he stared at the thing, Ranma glanced around then asked. " Uhn Ok but how am I suppose to do that?" Frowning as the thing didn't reply, Ranma grumbled to himself, and headed towards his camp site. \\ Stupid thing, probably defective.// \\ I am not defective, you're just not using your mind, that is the only way we can communicate… not until I have fully integrated with your psyche. // \\ Ohh… I see… so until you understand hoe my mind… works you cant talk to me unless I ask you something directly or if I'm thinking…// \\ Uhn yea… anyway, I think we should go somewhere so you can learn how to use me, and ill teach you a few martial arts move I've seen.// \\ Yea, I would like that…// +++++++++++++ " Ohh Akane I'm so sorry… at least your out of the hospital now." Staring at Kasumi for a minute, Akane clenched on to her walking stick and looked at the mirror one more time. " It isn't fair Kasumi… If that thing hadn't cheated…" Grimacing at the site of her sisters face, Kasumi nodded and hugged the girl from behind. " Don't worry Akane… I hear that plastic surgeons can do wonders with the technology that is available these days…" " I… I just want to go home… and train a bit… I need time to think…" " Ok Akane… Nabiki and father is outside waiting for you…" +++++++++++ Staring at the young woman before him, a young woman or teenager if you will that had at least seven scars on her face and two can be seen on her right arm and three on her left, and the fact that she had a limp and had to use a walking stick did not go by him, Soun Tendo a man of many faults did not shed a single tear, instead he fainted. Frowning as she saw the extent of Akane's injuries, Nabiki frowned and hugged her sister. " Don't worry Akane… let me know if there is anything you want, ok sis?" " Ok sis… but…" " What is it Akane?" " Well… I was wondering why … Ranma didn't come and visit me…" " Ohhh…" Glancing at Kasumi who was currently talking with a doctor that she had become good friends with while visiting Akane, Nabiki sighed and answered. " Well… I think this would… no I wont…" " What is it Nabiki… you can tell me… is something wrong with Ranma?" Snorting at Akane's question, Nabiki shook her head and answered. " No… it seems that… Ranma found a new girl friend…" Staring at Nabiki, Akane nodded her head and looked towards the cab that was pulling up. " I take it that's our ride…" Blinking at the calmness that Akane was excluding, Nabiki mentally smirked at the predictability of her sister. \\ Well I finally got rid of Ranma permanently, though I made some cash off of him he was just too unpredictable to have around for long.// +++++++++++++++ Frowning as she looked at the old woman before her, Ukyou glanced at the other two who was currently in the room and sighed. " Let me get this straight, your going to go after Ranma even after he has chosen…" Cackling at Ukyou, Cologne smiled and replied. " You may say that, but mainly I just want to see what son-in-law sees in this girl… and also see if we can change his mind… or hers…" Nodding, Ukyou thought about what the Amazons wanted to do and asked. " Ok… but what does this have to do with me?" " I have found it… wiser if you may if we work together, I know of a few ways of solving Ranma's problem with you girls… the problem was, I know you girls wouldn't cooperate. And now that the Tendo's are basically out of the equation…" " It would be best if we work to get Ranma back, then we work it out between us…" " Exactly…" ++++++++++++ Smiling as he mentally conversed with the bracelet, Ranma willed it to morph into a bracer and smiled as it did just has he commanded. " Ranma!! Prepare to Die!!" " Huh, hey Ryoga, what's up?" " What's up, What's up, You made my life hall and you ask me what's up!!" Lunging at Ranma, Ryoga started his attack by swinging at Ranma with a left hook only to be stopped by Ranma who just catches his arm as if he was nothing. " Wha…" Smirking as he followed the instructions from his new friend, Ranma punched Ryoga in the face, and watched as he went flying into a tree then through that and was embedded in a wall. \\ Uhn… I think that was a bit much… and this is cheating isn't it ?// \\ think of it as training Ranma, you need to learn to control my power, while increasing your own.// Nodding his head, Ranma smirked as he watched Ryoga get up and seem to realize what had just happened. " Hey Ryoga…" Stopping as Ryoga started to glow a dark green, Ranma watched as the started to walk towards him. \\ Uhn… I never seen Ryoga do this before…// " It ends here Ranma… I will not lose!!" Staring in shock as A beam of energy slammed into him before he could react, The last thing Ranma heard before darkness claimed him was the cry of joy from his Rival. T.B.C
