HAHAHAHAHA!!!  Friggin AOL, finally figured out how to circumvent it's DAMN
email message space limit (which is screwed up anyways because insists I use
30000 characters when word tells me I'm only using 24000 and I tend to trust
MS more than AOL, lesser of 2 evils).  So I just forward part of it to myself
and VIOLA, I get more space.  One other thing, took me so long to send this
out because WW's ML was down and I was just waiting for it to come back
online before sending another part.  There's going to be a break somewhere
here where it has all the forward stuff, but don't mind it.

*Header:  Okay, here is probably the first of the big changes.  The fight
between Jupiter and Shampoo?  Yeah, I think people liked the old one but I
thought it was kind of simple...  Just seemed like banal hitting to me, with
both of them beating the snot out of each other...  And looking back, I don't
think Jupiter could've hanged with Shampoo as long as she did in the
original...  So I jazzed up the fight, choergraphed it better, and added lots
more lines to the fight.  It was too quiet before and I think that made it
seem banal to me.  So I like the revamped fight scene which is 80% new
material.  Added a number of additions to the Mars/Kodachi fight, but not as
many as to the Jup/Shamps fight.  Still, worth rechecking the Mars/Kodachi
thing I think.  And when you get to the end, you'll notice I rearranged the
order of events to leave it at a better bridge between chapters rather than
the previous "I had to cut it off here cuz AOL sucks" bridge.  And, a new
title for Chapter 2... ^_^  The excitement kicks up here, and I'll make 2-1
odds for Shampoo vs. Jupiter...

Ranma Vs. SailorMoon
Skimpy Skirts And Cross Dressers
by Shiaw Chi "Hokodan"
Chapter 2: Cat Fights!  (Men Love Them...)

	"You're gonna punish me for what?" asked Ranma.  "I've never seen you before
in my life."  Ranma then paused.  He didn't remember Ryoga when he came
looking for him.  Or Ukyou for that matter.  Ranma wrinkled his brow,
thinking hard.
	"Ranma, what'd you do to her!  Don't tell me you knocked her into Jusenkyo
too," Akane said as she turned to Sailor Moon.  "Do you transform into
something else too?"
	"Uhhh, no, of course I don't transform into a fourteen year old middle
school student living in Tokyo," answers Serena nervously.  "And what's
Jusenkyo?"
	"So what do you want me for?"
	Serena notices that Ranma..., is a girl!  "Oh my god.  You are one sick
person!  I thought it was bad that anyone would help that depraved old
pervert, but to think that you're a female that's helping him!"
	"Hey, who you calling a female," replied Ranma angrily.
	"Scouts, I'm picking up some very strong vibes from all of them."
	"So am I Luna, but there's something unusual about it.  It's not like the
one's I usually get from the negaverse," added Mars.

		Mercury had finally just about reached the others and began to say, "That's
because they..."  WHOOOSH!  Amy was whisked off her feet across the street
before she could say her important news.
	Before she knew what was happening, Mercury was set down on a lawn across
the street from the Dojo.  "What just happened," wondered Mercury as she
turned to face her abductor.
	"Truly as the sun begins its descent, that it is appropriate that we begin
our ascent.  With the amber sky reflecting our fanning desires, perhaps I
shall go out on the proverbial limb and thus, if I may be so bold as to
inquire your name my blue hared beauty," prompted Kuno.  "Those beautiful
blue eyes, and bouncy blue hair, truly she is deserving the love of Tatewaki
Kuno," thought Kuno.
      "My name is..." she began but Kuno cut her off.
	"But first, what kind of gentleman would I be if I did not introduce myself
first.  I have been bestowed many honored names, from the shining star of
Tokyo to the blue thunder of Furikan high, however, you may simply call me
upperclassmen Tatewaki Kuno.  And now, please continue your sweet dialogue."
	Amy looked at the handsome young man in disbelief.  She couldn't believe
that a person could be so utterly absorbed in himself.  She couldn't believe
how someone could attempt poetry that sounds intelligible but actually made
little to no sense.  And she couldn't believe the thought that he was
actually cute had crossed her mind.
	"Ummm, my name is Ami Miz... I mean Amy Anderso... I mean Sailor Mercury,"
she said as she distanced herself away from him.
	"Just as the night sky shall inevitably swallow the day, so shall our love
eventually swallow any hesitation on your part.  Give in to our desires and
allow me to date with you tonight!"
	"Oh god no," Amy accidentally burst before she corrected herself.  "I mean,
my computer has fully accessed the energy reading emanating from your friends
and apparently it's their battle aura that's been giving off the high energy
readings, but my friends think they're from the negaverse.  I have to stop
them before they hurt your friends."
	"Ha ha ha!" Kuno laughs mockingly.  "Although tis true I carry little
affection for that spendgally Ranma Saotome and his plebeian friends, I must
admit that they are all quite capable fighters, all good enough to almost
challenge the might of my own blade.  I would be more concerned for the
welfare of your allies."
	"All the more reason for me to stop the fighting.  So if you'll excuse me
'upperclassman.'"  Amy took steps back towards the Dojo but Kuno's blade cut
her off.
	"Oh, so perhaps you are a fighter yourself.  Yes, the perfect package of
adroit intelligence, unparalleled beauty, and even fighting prowess!  Indeed,
you are worthy to become Tatewaki Kuno's third love."
	Third love!?  This person had some serious problems.  "Um, maybe some other
time upperclassman Kuno," she said as Kuno moved himself in front of her
again, blocking her path.
	"With manners to boot!  Yes, we shall join in combat first so I may prove to
you my love!  Defeat me, and I shall allow you to date with me," declares
Kuno as he moves in to strike Sailor Mercury.  She was barely able to dodge
his attack.
	"I think we have a misunderstanding.  I don't have to fight you, maybe we
could just change phone numbers or something," she babbled while trying to
avoid his blows.  "God, I don't want him to have my phone number," Amy
thinks.
	"What kind of warrior would I be if I were to accept so gracious an
invitation?  No, I must prove my worth to you in combat my love!" he yelled
as he continued to pursue Sailor Mercury who had since turned tail and ran.

	"You nega-scum!  What has your minion done with Sailor Mercury!  You've gone
too far this time.  All right nega-trash, prepare to be moon dusted!"
	"Kuno's no minion of mine, and I don't know where he took your friend.  I
don't even know what kind of grudge you hold against me," said Ranma as he
moved into a fighting stance, "but I'm really sorry if you turn into a
mongoose or something, or if my dad got us engaged and then ditched you."
	"Engaged... to you!  Oh my god, you are some sort of sick pervert!  I'm not
into that kind of... San Francisco stuff!"
	"I'm not a girl!  And why do you keep calling me a pervert?  And what is the
nega-verse?  Come to think of it, I think I would remember a quintet of girls
wearing skimpy sailor skirts."
	"Oh!!!  That's the last straw!  Who are you calling skimpy!  Sailor Scout's,
lets trash the nega-creep!"
	But before they had the chance to advance, a wall of would be fiancee's
block their path.
	"That's as far as you go gals.  I'm sorry, but ain't nobody gonna be laying
a finger on my Ranma sugar unless it's me," Ukyou said as she drew her
spatula out of her holster.
	"Ranma no worry.  Shampoo protect husband," she said as she crossed her
bonbori's.
	"Not to worry Ranma darling.  These harlots shan't be harassing my dear
after I'm through with them."
	"Uhhh, girls, this isn't necessary.  I can handle all of them..."
	"Serena, let's all split up.  There's four of us against four of them,"
Sailor Mars ordered as she moves towards Kodachi.  "Scouts, pick one and
let's tango!"
	"But I'm the leader here!  I should be giving the orders!  At least leave me
the pervert Ranma," whined Serena.  "Scouts, attack!"

	"I, the black rose Kodachi Kuno, shall accept your challenge you hussy!
 Let's see if you can keep up with me."  Kodachi laughed insanely as the
bounded towards the rooftop of the Tendo home.
	"Me keeping up with you is gonna be the least of your worries sister!"
shouts Sailor Mars as she jumped towards the rooftop as well.

	"Shampoo choose to fight on wall.  You good to fight on wall too?  Maybe you
no keep balance," she mocked as she sprung onto the wall surrounding the
Tendo Dojo.
	"I'd be able to whip your butt fighting on a bed of spikes.  Just point out
where and I'll follow," bragged Sailor Jupiter as she leaps onto the wall as
well.
	"Me fight on spike bed before.  No big deal."

	"I don't know about you dearie, but I kind of like my feet planted on terra
firma," Ukyou pronounced.
	"I couldn't agree with you more," replied Sailor Venus.
	"But first, let's get out of my Ranma cuties' way so he can wipe up the
floor with that meatball head leader of yours," instructed Ukyou as she
started to run towards the backyard.  "Follow me if you dare!"
	"That meatball head is gonna be more of a challenge to your pal than you
think," lies Mina.  "Geez, I wish I had as much confidence in Serena as she
does in Ranma," she thought.  They both ran away from the front yard.

	"Your energy sucking days are over!  Prepare to be moon dusted!" cried
Sailor Moon.
	"You obviously don't know me very well if you want to fight me.  For
whatever it's worth, I'm sorry if you fell in Jusenkyo because of me.  Or,
I'm sorry, but I have more than enough potential brides already."  Ranma
leapt backward onto a stone in the pond, still in his fighting stance.  "If
that's not enough, I guess there's nothing left to say."

	Sailor Mars was still chasing Kodachi from rooftop to rooftop, and she was
getting tired.  "Damn you!  Why don't you stand your ground and fight!"
	Kodachi then leapt down to a lower building, out of Rei's sight.  As Rei
prepared to jump down, a razor hoop shot up from below, nearly cutting her
face off.  She stumbled and fell on her back.  Before Rei could do anything
else, Kodachi jumped into the air, hovering right on top of her.
	"A whelp like yourself doesn't deserve my full attention!" roared Kodachi as
she threw a ball bomb at Rei.
	Rei was barely able to roll out of the way of the bomb, but the blast threw
her off the roof.  She landed on another rooftop right below the one she was
one.  At first she thought day had suddenly turned to night, but then
realized she was simply on the verge of blacking out.  She fought to keep
herself conscious.  The throbbing pain coursing through every inch of her
body helped.  She coffed hard, trying to regain her breath, as she struggled
to get on her hands and knees.
	"Prepare to die floozy!" screamed Kodachi as she flew down at Rei with a
spiked club, ready to bash her head in.
	With seconds to spare, Rei gathers up her energy as quickly as possible, and
muttered out, "mars... Fire... IGNITE!" Flames flickered around her
fingertips right before a fireball emerge and launched itself at Kodachi.
	"What in..." Kodachi uttered as she  barely twisted in the air to avoid the
fireball.  However, the mid-air readjustment had her losing her form and with
a loud THUD, she was lying on her chest.  After getting the wind knocked out
of her, she took her time getting back up.  "What in the world," she finally
gasped out.
	"Don't underestimate a Sailor Scout," warned Rei as she moved in for a
strike.  Kodachi kicks blindly at her, but she dodges and thrusted her elbow
across Kodachi's face.
	Kodachi, rolling to the blow, loses her wits as the world begins to spin.
 She could still hear the wind break as Sailor Mars begins running for
another blow.  She quickly grabs the first weapon she could find and flung it
at Sailor Mars.
	The projectile comes hurtling at Mars, but Mars was able to grab... the
bouquet of black roses?  Suddenly, they explode into a cloud of gas.  She
sucked in her breath as quickly as possible, discarded the roses, and
stumbled away from the cloud.  Her arms, her limbs, even her head suddenly
felt like they each weighed a ton.  Every movement suddenly became a
struggle.
	"AaaaaaahahahahaAaaaaaaahahahaha," Kodachi laughed maniacally.  "I believe
you're beginning to feel the paralysis powder begin to take affect.  Those
flowers were originally for my darling Ranma.  A pity I had to waste them on
you."
	"You were... gonna give those... to your 'darling?'" Rei managed to spit
out.  Even talking had become sluggish.
	"My dear Ranma at times needs... persuasion.  But enough chit chat."
 Kodachi brought out her ribbon.  "It is time I taught you a lesson about
conduct."  She flings the ribbon so it wraps around Sailor Mars' arm, and
flings her against a chimney.  Rei slumped back to the ground.
	"What's the matter raven hared girl?  No more mighty words?"  Kodachi swings
Rei back into the air only to slam her down on the roof.
	Rei should be hurting.  She realizes this.  But for some reason, her body
just didn't feel anything right now.  Maybe it was the powder.  Maybe she was
blacking out.  Or maybe it was because her body had just become numb with
pain.  She tried to look at Kodachi, but everything was just a blur.  The
insane laughter echoed repeatedly inside her head.  Rei closed her mind as
best she could to it, to everything.  "I'm not going to win this fight,"
briefly flashed through her mind.  And then she thought of Darian.  And then
Serena.  And then her mind began to fill with anger.  She wasn't mad at
Serena, or Darian, or really anyone specific really.  She was just mad that
something as intangible as fate, destiny, and past lives would now dictate
how her heart should feel.  He knew her and Darain weren't set in stone right
now, but did she have to lose him without even being able to fight for it?
 And here she is now, getting the snot beating out of her by some two bit
broad while the love of her life...  "Feel the pain, feel the rage and anger,
and ride it, become part of it...  Use it," she told herself.  The anger
coursed through her legs, her body, her arms, until the anger had turned the
numbness into a throbbing pain throughout her person.  The pain made her all
the more agressive.  "Rei Hino does not lose," she thought.
	"How about mighty action instead of words!" screamed Rei as she ignited the
ribbon with her hand.  The ribbon combusted like a stream of fuel, right into
Kodachi's hands.  She yelped in pain as the explosion knocked her backwards.
	"So there is life in you yet little girl?  No more playing around, time to
finish the job!" cried Kodachi as she launched herself at Sailor Mars.
	Sailor Mars leapt over Kodachi, and while flipping in mid-air, "Mars
Fireball Charge!" and tagged Kodachi's back with the charm.
	"What was that foolish girl?  Apparently it had no effect on me.  However,
I'm sure this ball bomb will work," she yelled as she launched it at Rei.
 Rei dodges it but the ball..., the ball simply bounces away instead of
exploding.
	"Hmmm, must have been a dud.  Well, we'll see how well you react to my razor
hoop," she roars as she flings the hoop towards Mars.
	Sailor Mars rushed towards Kodachi and grabbed the hoop..., and it didn't
cut her hand!  Mars leapt into the air and slipped the hoop around Kodachi's
arms.  Kodachi, temporarily trapped by the hoop, can only stand there was
Mars backhanded her across the face.  "I have enough problems right now
without having to put off with crazy chick with emotional problems."
	"I don't know what you did to me brat," she seethes as she rolled around
onto her knees, "but I don't need gimmicks to get the better of you."  With a
surge of strength, Kodachi broke the hoop.  "Die!" she screamed as she
unleashed a hundred clubs at Rei.
	Although they weren't spiked, they still posed a threat.  Rei managed to
dodge all of them but one which clipped her in the head.
	Seeing Mars doozy, Kodachi prepared to finish her as she pulled out her
steel rod.  "The end has finally come!"
	Mars quickly regains her senses and quickly chants "Mars Fire Ignite," as
another fireball plows towards Kodachi.  It misses her again, but this time
the explosion knocks Kodachi into the air, and right back down on her back.
	"You're damn right this is the end," Mars says as she charges towards
Kodachi.
	Kodachi pulled out another ribbon, hoping to inflict a final counter blow.
	"Mars Hot Foot!" chanted Mars as she did a flip kick in the air, her right
foot burning brightly.  Kodachi wrapped the ribbon around her leg, but it
soon burnt to ash.
	"Oh my..." Kodachi gets out before Mars' heel smashes into Kodachi's face,
knocking her off the roof and onto the ground with a THUD!  Kodachi lay
there, not moving.
	"Ha!  I guess that's that," Mars gets out right before her anger finally
subsides.  She crumples onto the rooftop herself.  "Rei Hino does not lose,"
she thinks right before she passes out.

*Editor's Notes:  I know what you're saying...  What kind of lame move is
Mars Hot Foot.  But it's a real move!  If you've played the PSX Sailor Moon
Super S game, it's one of the moves they created for Rei!  So I didn't make
up this lame move, it really IS part of the SM universe!  So HA!  It's a
legit move that's endorsed by Takeuchi-sensei herself.  ^_^  Anyways, back to
our regularly scheduled fanfic.

	"Kasumi, is Akane cooking dinner tonight?' inquires Nabiki.
	"No Nabiki, why do you ask?"
	"Well, I smelled smoke and assumed it was her.  I was just about to call for
some ramen to be delivered."
	"Oh my.  If it isn't Akane's cooking, then I guess Ranma's friends did set
the house on fire again."
	"Don't worry sis, I'll call the fire department.  It's autodial #3, right?"

	With a heavy swing, Shampoo had shattered another part of the Tendo dojo's
wall, and she followed that up with a just as powerful slice at Jupiter, who
was somehow managing to leap away from the bonbori's and the shower's of
debris they were making.
	"You not bad, but you no keep this up forever," declared Shampoo as she
increased the tempo of her attacks.
	"Maybe I won't have to," said Jupiter as she grabbed a large chunk of
concrete from the shattered wall, dodged a thrust by Shampoo, and using all
her strength, smashed the piece of concrete against the handle of one of
Shampoo's bonbori's, managing to snap it in two.
	"AIYA!!!  You break Shampoo rare ancient Chinese weapon!  Ranma one thing,
but now Shampoo take this personal!"  She swept the remaining bonbori low,
making Jupiter flip backwards.  "Heh, predictable girl," muttered Shampoo.
	Shampoo leapt then leapt into the air and brought her remaining weapon down
hard.  It barely missed Jupiter, instead shaking the very foundations of the
wall.  Jupiter began to lose her footing.  "You for sure better than Kuno,"
remarked Shampoo as she noticed Jupiter's imbalance, "but you no better than
Shampoo!"
	"I sure as hell ain't worse than you either," replied Jupiter as she blindly
tried to jump kick Shampoo, who easily ducked under her desperate attack.  It
was either this or hobble there like a sitting duck.
	"Nice try, but no good.  You no be able to dodge this," stated Shampoo as
she unleashed three shurikans towards Jupiter.  Jupiter doesn't.  Two of them
slipped by her, but one of them slashed her across the leg.  "First blood is
Shampoo's," she said with a wicked smile.
	"That's only a flesh wound," grimaced Jupiter.  "I'll show you some real
blood soon enough."  Jupiter then drove herself at Shampoo with amazing
speed.  Shampoo was caught by surprise as Jupiter's shoulder was suddenly
ramming her chest.  Jupiter dropped to one knee, tired, as Shampoo fell flat
on her back.
	Before Jupiter had a chance to take advantage of this, Shampoo kicked
herself back onto her feet.  Shampoo gave no boasting statement as she began
her attack.  Lita attempted to break through her offense with an uppercut but
is responded with a knee in the stomach, followed by an elbow uppercut along
Lita's chin.
	Jupiter realized a bit too late that without one of  her weapons weighing
her down, she was twice as fast as before.  Jupiter managed to leap over a
low sweep, but Shampoo twisted into a somersault and Jupiter suddenly felt
her neck snap right before Shampoo spun and landed a backhand against her
face.  As Jupiter staggered, Shampoo swung her bonbori against Jupiter's
head, spinning her like a top.  Flashes of light, which looked very much like
stars deliriously thought Jupiter, began to fill her field of vision.  And
then everything else began to turn black, so they looked even more like
stars.  Jupiter fell to her hands and knee's and tried to push the silly
thoughts about stars out of her head.
	Shampoo had stopped her assault assuming her victory was assured.  To her
surprise, Lita had reeled backwards, but was somehow managing to get back on
her feet.  She was breathing hard, bleeding hard, but above all, going to be
hard to beat.
	"You strong girl.  You have Shampoo respect.  But Shampoo still kill you!"
 Shampoo began another charge, her weapon grasped with both hands, preparing
to knock Jupiter to the moon with it.
	The short pause Shampoo had given Jupiter was all that she needed to get her
second wind.  Her blood was pumping hard, using all the emotion the pain gave
her, she prepared to grapple again.  "You're not bad girl, but now it's my
turn!"
	Shampoo homerun swung her weapon, but Jupiter dodged under it, and landed a
punch to Shampoo's gut, knocking the air out of her.  She then began her
quick punch attack, which Shampoo desperately tried to avoid.  Jupiter
refused to tire down, even as Shampoo managed to avoid nearly all her blows.
 For every 5 punches she threw, she felt her hand slam against Shampoo's head
once.  And while the adrenaline kept Jupiter, going, Shampoo began to slow
down.  Shampoo's head reeled back when three continuos' punches landed
against her now bloodied face.  Jupiter paused momentarily, trying to get her
breathe back.
	Jupiter remembered the reprieve she got when Shampoo delayed her assault,
and decided not to grant Shampoo the same.  "Can't keep this up...  Have to
do something now," she told herself as she tried to kick Shampoo with a
forward kick, but Shampoo managed to grab her leg and throw her weapon down
on it.  An ugly crack followed.
	"Damn!" Lita screamed out in pain.  With her remaining leg, she propelled
herself across the short distance between Shampoo and herself.  "Flying
elbow," she cried as her elbow knocked Shampoo's head flying back.  Jupiter
falls to one knee, her left leg becoming numb.  But thank god it wasn't
broken.  Shampoo landed on her back and rolled onto her feet.
	They were both silent.  Shampoo was overflowing with anger, and ready to
explode on Jupiter any second, if it weren't for the fact she was so tired.
	Jupiter, on the other hand, was realize how bad things were getting.  "I
can't beat her like this.  My adrenaline barely evened the match up, and now
I'm tired and she's getting a second wind.  God, I wish I could just stop
now...  My leg...  But Serena is going to get creamed, I can't just give up
damnit.  She's probably crying already.  I have to end this soon."
	"No more fight.  Finish now!" Shampoo screams as she rushes at Lita.
	A bolt of lightning suddenly strikes Lita, and begins to take shape around
her.  She leaps into the air and chants "Jupiter Thunder Crash!" and
unleashes a bolt of lightning at Shampoo.
	Shampoo was coming in to fast to dodge it, so she instead throws her
remaining bonbori at Lita's attack.  The weapon explodes in a fury of
electricity, with some of its residue nailing Shampoo.
	After the smoke had cleared, Lita could see Shampoo down on both knees
coughing, slightly burned across her entire frame.  But she quickly gets up,
ready to fight again.
	"Shampoo not know what black magic you use, but it no work on Shampoo," she
said, as she moved in for another attack.  With no weapons now, she was
moving at an unbelievable speed.  Shampoo kicked Jupiter in the body, then
the head, then... Jupiter couldn't even make out the blows anymore, but a
hook across her left cheek sent her flying.  Somehow, Jupiter managed lands
on one hand and flips onto her feet.  She couldn't tell up from down anymore,
but she was still standing.
	"Stubborn girl, why you not FALL!" cried Shampoo, her patience obviously
exhausted.  She dashed at Jupiter, her left arm pulled back for a fatal blow.
 "This blow have all Shampoo got left," she thought.
	Jupiter, realizing her predicament, made a decision to either make or  break
this fight.  "I got to put all my power into this and hope to god that she
doesn't come back for more."  Jupiter pulled back her hands, wrapped in a
circular position.  A ball of lightning began to form there.  "Haven't used
this one much before, hope I get it right."
	"Jupiter Thunder Crash Zap!" she bellows as she flings the lightning ball at
Shampoo.  Shampoo manages to avoid the brunt of the lightning, but its tail
still manages to nail Shampoo with enough power to kill lesser humans.
 Shampoo writhes in the air momentarily, before falling onto the ground in a
heap.
	Jupiter limps to Shampoo, making sure she was still alive.  Shampoo let her
know herself as she slowly tried to push herself up.
	"Shampoo... not finished... yet," she shakily gets out.
	"You're more resilient than I am, I'll give you that.  I'm sorry lady, but
you are finished," said Lita as she swung her leg back for a knockout kick,
when suddenly she found herself wrapped in chains.
	"If you've hurt Shampoo, I'm going to kill you!" cried a third party.
	Mousse lands on the wall behind Jupiter, and noticed Shampoo on the ground.
 "Oh my god!  What did you to do Shampoo you tramp," cried Mousse as he
pulled Lita off the wall, swinging her around, and then bringing her back
hard against the side of the wall right below him.  Jupiter crashed into the
wall, leaving cracks and her impression on it.  Mousse loosened the chains
and pulled them back as the unconscious Jupiter fell slackly to the ground.
	"Shampoo my love, are you alright," asked a concerned Mousse.  He picked
Shampoo's head up gently, only to realize it was burning hot.  Not only that,
but her entire head was mashed out of shape.  Then he realized the head
wasn't connected to anything.  "AHHHH!  My dear Shampoo, that wench
decapitated you!  No my love, NOOO!  It's all my fault.  If only I had
arrived a minute sooner, you would still be alive."  Mousse pulls out a
sickle.  "I no longer have a reason to live," Mousse weeps out, preparing to
take his own life.
	Shampoo was trying to decide whether or not to let Mousse kill himself.  For
some reason she can't figure out, her more benevolent side prevailed.
 "Shampoo over here stupid Mousse," insulted Shampoo.  Mousse put his glasses
on to notice he was talking to the electrocuted bonbori of Shampoo's.
 "Shampoo!  You're alive!" he says happily as he turns around to hug Shampoo.
	Mousse is appreciated for his altruism with a fist to the face.  "Stupid
bird brain, you no should interfere with fight between warrior woman,"
Shampoo answers angrily.
	"No need to thank me Shampoo," he whimpers out before falling off the wall,
senseless.

	He walks from the masses of commoners to the front of the crowd.  Only he,
the finest warrior the negaverse has very produced, can at will summon an
audience with the mighty Queen Beryl.  Actually, there was one other now.
 But only for now.
	"What is it Malachite, you have alot of nerve to walk around with your nose
that high after the recent losses we have endured.  Those Sailor Brats are
actually putting us behind schedule," seethes the wicked queen.
	"But I now have a fool proof plan my queen, one in which...," he says before
being cut off.
	"One in which those meddlesome Sailor Scouts blah blah blah.  I've heard
this before Malachite with less than satisfactory results."
	"My queen, your scorn is understandable, but at least wait until I show you
my ultimate weapon!"
	There is a silence that follows.  Malachite dares not continue until he has
received the queen's approval.  She enjoys watching him wait nervously.
	"Tell me of your plan."
	"Of course my queen."
	Malachite lifts his hand, and suddenly a beam of blue light shoots out of
it, arcing outwards.  An image begins to form in it.  A small man could be
seen, wearing a dark ninja outfit and carrying a large bag containing
something...
	"This my queen, is Happosai, the strongest mortal on earth.  His strength is
unparalleled, perhaps even stronger than... some negaverse creatures."
 Malachite had corrected himself before saying "stronger than yours!"
 Malachite continues to say "Best of all, he's already tainted by the
darkside.  Possessing him with a negaverse creature should be mere child's
play."  He closed his hand and declared, "he shall destroy the Sailor Scouts
single-handedly!"
	"For your sake, he'd better," warns Queen Beryl.  "Fine, I approve of your
plan.  But I'm assigning Prince Darian to command this mission."
	"NO!" Malachite accidentally shouts out.  "I mean, since I have overseen
this project so far, I feel my knowledge of it would assure our success in
this task," he says humbly.  "Please my Queen, I implore you."
	"Fine Malachite, fetch the freak, but nothing more.  Go now before I change
my mind."
	"You have my thanks my Queen," he says before disappearing in a swirl of
energy.
	"Malachite has something planned with this individual.  Even I have felt his
power myself.  He could prove to be a dangerous toy for Malachite to play
with, perhaps even dangerous to me," she thinks.
	"Prince Darian!" she calls out.
	Roses began to whirl in a small circumference, as Darian appeared within
them.  "What do you ask of me my Queen?" he asks as he bows before her.
	"I want you to keep an eye on Malachite.  If even a hint of treachery is
perceived, do with him as you wish.  But make sure that this Happosai does
indeed fall into the control of the negaverse.  Do not let Malachite know you
are spying on him.  And while you're at it, take care of those Sailor Brats
if you get the chance.  Now begone!"
	"As you wish my Queen," he obliges before disappearing the way he appeared.
	Beryl smiled, with as much darkness as a smile can present.  "I have a
feeling things are about to climax," she thought.  Little did she realize
just how right she would be.

*New Notes: Going to repeat something I say later here, and that's regarding
the powers the Scouts didn't demonstrate yet at this point in the series.
 Well, looking back at the dubs, when the scouts recieved new powers, they
never said, "Wow!  This is a new power for me that I NEVER had before..."
 They just used it suddenly.  So I used that loophole to say they had the
power, they just didn't use it much at the time...  They had it, you just
never saw them use it.  Besides, the damn fights (not just this chapter, but
later on too) were going to get damn boring fast if they kept using the same
damn attack over and over...  I think you can accept my story if it makes a
better story, right?  ^_^   Oh, and you know what?  Saw the Fifth Element the
other day and regarding the Shampoo/Jupiter fight...  You know, the original
conception was actuaully MORE action packed, and when I wrote it, I was
imaging it just like that dope fight scene in 5th Element (with a heavy
dance/house beat in the background, and the characters moving as fluid as
water...  It represents I tell ya...).  But I think it works better in story
format the way I redid it...  Just my opinion and I'm sure some people like
the old fight better...  That's why I'm sending the old one out to anyone who
wants it AFTER "New Edition" is wrapped up.  Next chapter, everyone else
beats each other up, hope to see you there...
