Those that had survived her castle would now be the one's to face her wrath. And she would bring them all to her... And using her powers over the castle she would not let them near her either, and she would have them all trapped for eternity while she kept Ranma's body as a trophy for herself!
While the entrance to the middle tower was a trap, the court-yard was just that. A court-yard. There was grass, bushes, trees, coddle stone pathways, and there was a statue fountain in the middle fo the courtyard, (with the statue being a pig-tailed boy) surrounded by benches that a person could rest at.
Smiling, Sasami said, "Wow! There actually is a peaceful area in this entire evil palace, can you believe that?"
Saturn shook her head. It was amazing. The vegetaion here was healthy, bright, and green! "I've never seen anyoplace like it."
Astral Ranma, who could communicate for once shook his head. "It's still something to just set you off-guard."
Sasami moved over to the water fountain statue to get a better look. "I don't know, but I hope so."
It was then that the door they had used to enter the garden opened again, and a group of three women and their allies, (A Sailor Senshi, a Lycanthropoid, a Demon Hunter, a Rakshasa, and a Moon Cat) made their way into the garden.
"Well, this is unexpected..." Yohko said as she looked around. Her eyes then widened. "Hey! There's two little girls here!"
Brianna took stock of the situation. Two pre-teens, they couldn't be more than 14-years-old. "Hey you two! Don't you know how dangerous it is here?"
As soon as Artemis recognized Saturn, he flipped. "Saturn! Don't tell me you came here because you wanted the Prince! I would expect this stuff from Venus, BUT YOU?"
Venus glared down at her small advisor. "Excuse me, but what do you mean you expect it?"
Artemis returned her glare. "You heard me." And that is when hell broke loose and Venus began attacking Artemis. "I went, I hammer, I inquisitioned!" Was her battle-cry as she attacked the moon cat!
"The saying is 'I came, I saw, I conquered', you ditz!" Artemis said as Venus was playing 'kick the cat', and doing other things that would get P.E.T.A. down her back.
Saturn sighed. WHY did Venus have to show up NOW!? Saturn didn't want that boy-hungry bitch stealing her one and only chance to live happily-ever-after with her martial arts husband that will make her feel like a real woman Venus trying to protect her from the world of adult fantasies.
Brianna walked up to Saturn and Sasami. She blinked as she noticed the cat-rabbit creature on Sasami's head, but shrugged it off. "And what are you two doing here? It is dangerous you know. And I wouldn't want to see you get hurt."
"But I have to save my sister." Sasami said.
"And I'm tired of being lopnely." Saturn said.
It was then the sound of some machinery going off into the distance was heard. Then, flying over the walls of the castle, and then coming to a crash landing in the fountain was a platinum-haired, bronze-skinned woman with three small tattoos on her face and a figure to die for.
"Cough! That sucked..." The bronze-skinned woman said as she climbed her way out of the fountain. "Damn it Skuld, your inventions suck!"
Turning to Genn, Brianna said, "Wow. She reminds me of you Genn. Platinum hair, bronze-skin, if she had horns she could pass for your older sister!"
"Tell me about it..." Genn muttered.
After the women stared at platinum-haired for a moment, Yohko was the first one to gain some composure. "Who are you?"
After a moment the woman replied, "I am Urd, Goddess Second Class, Limited, and cupid of love!" After a moment of people just satring at her Urd asked, "What? Don't believe me?"
Ranma groaned. "ANOTHER fiancee?"
Urd blinked. "No, I am not another finacee! I am a cupid of love and... HEY! Aren't you supposed to be asleep?"
Ranma blinked. This woman could see him too!?
It was then that something began to rise up from the water of the fountain. A girl with logn black hair, and markings similar to Urd's. "Urd, stop saying bad things about my inventions!"
And then as the two goddesses began to argue the door into the court-yard opened ONCE AGAIN! Standing there were four figures. The first was a haggard Sailor Moon. "I, In the name of the... Aw forget it! Life's not worth living wihtout Mamo-chan! WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Sailor Mars, whom was looking worse-for-wear slapped Moon on the back of the head. "Quit your crying! This is hard enough as it is."
"Damn staight." Agreed the third, Peorth. She was in a bad mood, having strained her voice from laughing too much with the habi-no-onna
"Oh, don't be mad with her Peorth. She's lost a lot of her friends in there." Belldandy said.
Urd blinked. "Hey Belldandy, how'd you get inside?"
Belldandy smiled pleasently. Oh, I just went in through one of the large mirrors that were hanging on the walls of some of the corridors." Seeing teh Astral form of Ranma, Belldandy smiled and bowed politely. "Hello Ranma."
By now Brianna, Yohko, and a few senshi were getting confused. Did these women actually see Ranma?
Then, a window a floor above the doorway into the court-yard broke, and Sailor Pluto fell down with a harsh thud, sailor Neptune alling out as well, and landing on top of her. "Ow... Stupid traps..."
Brianna sighed. This was just great! Even more women that were after the same goal as her.
(------)
A half hour and many introductions later, the new team was forged. Yohko Mano, Brianna Diggers, Genn, Sasami Jurai, Ryo-ohki, Sailor Saturn, Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus, Sailor Neptune, Sailor Pluto, Artemis, Peorth, Belldandy, Urd, and Skuld. Of all of them, only Sailor Moon, Sailor Pluto, Sailor Neptune, Genn, Artemis, Belldandy, Skuld, and Urd didn't want to try and have Ranma as their own.
Well, after plans were made, the group decided to rush into the middle tower, (After Briuanna blew up the door and trap there of course) which they did...
And saw the inside was a huge labyrinth.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Brianna cursed.
"Hmm... Who put this maze here?" Belldandy muttered.
"It had to be Akane..." Ranma muttered.
It was the the voice of Akane, the uncute scarlet dragon was heard echoing through the labyrinth. "So, you think you could just waltz in here and take MY fiancee? YOU FOOLS! I will never surrender him to you! He was mine before he was born, our fathers engaged us to each other! HE IS DESTINED TO BE MINE FOR ALL ETERNITY! Just as you all will travel this labyrinth for the rest of time itself! THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL GET FOR BEING A PEDOPHILE RANMA! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
Urd's left eye twitched. "I know there's a god, I know there's a heaven, and I can tell you that when this is over, that girl is going to hell!"
"Oh, like you weren't?"
