Not that he'd been charmed or enchanted or anything. No not at all. He'd just had three very enjoyable hours and...
Ryoga stood atop a branch, looking out at the forest. "I Ryoga Hibiki have learned what it means to be a man!"
"You certainly have," practically purred Elan.
"Heh heh heh," laughed Ryoga, blushing and rubbing the back of his head.
Elan stepped up behind him and hugged him, feeling his warmth and the boy's steady heartbeat. She rather enjoyed her role as a teacher. It had definite rewards. "You'll return, won't you?"
"Y-y-yeah," stuttered Ryoga, trying not to look at the girl next to him.
Elan teleported them both to the ground, easily having enough energy to do this - though she was going to sleep the sleep of the exhausted later. "Well then. Good luck and good travels, my lord."
Ryoga felt something within him that he'd never felt before. Peace. Contentment. Joy. Exhaustion. It was a nice feeling. Wow. A nature spirit. It was good to be alive.
"WORLD SHAKING!"
Ryoga felt that nice little groove lurch in entirely new directions as a ball of energy slammed into the girl who'd recently befriended him, and then there were pieces of her tumbling along the ground.
His eyes slowly tracked over to the side.
"Heralding a new age! Sailor Uranus!"
"Elegantly arriving, Sailor Neptune."
"There are a lot of yoma here," said Sailor Uranus, tossing a doll sized winged corpse to the side.
"You..." Ryoga felt more familiar feelings now. Despair. Rage. Being thoroughly pissed off to the point where a red film seemed to descend over his vision.
"Your turn," said the shorthaired blonde. Glowing aura. Fangs. Another yoma.
"Deep Submerge!" called out the elegant arrival, forming a ball of water and shooting towards the yoma.
"Crescent Beam!"
Energy met energy and the Deep Submerge wasn't stopped but weakened enough that Ryoga was merely stunned and flew backwards from the impact.
"What?!" the two girls in sailor suits looked away from their newest target to these arrivals.
"Sailor Venus, who states that a peaceful faerie wood should be enjoyed, not used for target practice!"
Wooden blocks clapped together as a dark elf swept her blade up in salute. Drifting flower petals briefly swept by her. As one landed directly on her nose, she found this less than ideal.
Another dark elf landed and spread her hands, revealing a fan of throwing knives.
"You ought to make speeches too, more dramatic," counseled Sailor Venus.
"No matter what guise you wear, we know the truth," said Uranus.
"Fog Cloud," said someone. Billowing thick vapors quickly covered the grounds. "Dismissal."
Venus blinked as the fog cleared away, revealing Ranma but no trace of the two women. "What happened? We were about to-"
"-get your collective butts handed to you," finished Ranma. "Come on, I've got some healing potions. Let's get this guy to safety and do damage control. If those two come back, I'll deal with them. Their power level combined is beyond what you can handle right now."
Pop! Pop!
Sailor Uranus and Neptune looked wildly about. Gone was the rainy forest. Instead they found themselves -
