Ranma was surprised with the force of the collective yell that came from the Diggers, but he easilly gathered hsi wits. "Yes! I think the Sword of Omens might have brought me back to Japan when it sensed danger. Anyway, the point is, I used the Sight-Beyond-Sight, and saw that the Lich King is not only here, but he also has his power back and he's making a small army of undead!"
Theodore Diggers nodded his head. "That's what the energy I felt must have been. Father has regained his sealed magic and he'll be out for revenge."
"No problem!" Brianna said as she cocked her plasma rifle. "We've taken down gramps before! It'll be a piece of cake!"
"No. That will not be possible." Came a female voice. "For you see, the Lich King has a weapon that is letting him steal the souls of others, and he is using that to fuel his own powers."
Turning to the female voice, the Diggers and Ranma saw a woman with long green hair and wearing a black Sailor fuku. Ranma was the first to speak. "Hey, are you one of those Sailor Senshi?"
"Yes. I am Sailor Pluto. Guardian of the Time Gates." Sailor Pluto said. She looked around, getting a good look at all gather. "I implore of you, you must please stop the Lich King before he enters Mugen Gakuen. If he does, he will release the Sovereign of Silence, and then all will be lost!"
Ranma groaned. Being a hero was not all it was cracked-up to be. "Sovereign of Silence? Great... What next?"
(------)
Ryoga growled. As he continued to walk further into this 'eternal garden'. He felt so lost at the moment that it wasn't even funny. Why is it this stuff always happened to him? Couldn't this happen to Ranma? After all, the pathetic pig-tailed boy would deserve something like this to happen to him. After all, all Ranma did now was run away. After all, Ryoga couldn't possibly be defeated in less than three minutes, so Ranma must have been running away from him for three minutes. Yeah, that had to be it!
"Ranma..." Ryoga growled. "THIS IS ALL YOUR DOING! CURSE YOU TO HELL!!!"
"Excuse me..." Came a female voice from behind Ryoga. "But do you realize your tresspassing on sacred land?"
Ryoga blinked. "Oh, sorry," Ryoga began. He started turning around so he could see the speaker. "I didn't mean to tresspass on... your... property?"
The werewolf Thabian looked over to his wife, Jetta. "It's just some kid Jetta."
"Still," Jetta said, "I want to know how he got here."
"Still, he seems so..." Brendan thought about it for a moment... "Helpless."
Ryoga was stunned. He was looking at not one, but TWO werewolves! Worse, they were talking about HIM! This was not good! If he remembered those movies correctly, these people sucked the blood of others to make increase their strength and make more werewolves... Or was it they sold their souls to the devil? Wait, didn't it have something to do with Wolfsbane?
Oh well, no time to think about that now! These people were probably going to do something bad to him, and he would not stand for it! Getting depressed over the fact they would probably maul him, Ryoga used that depression to fuel his attack. "SHI SHI HOKODAN!"
Jetta and Thabian were surprised to see the green-colored chi attack fly towards them. Naturally they dodged to the sides and were blown about from the force of air as the Roaring Lion's Bullet tore into the forests of Eden.
Shaking her head, Jetta grumbled. They hadn't done anything yet, and this jerk attacked them! She looked up to get a look at the boy who had attacked her and saw him running for his life. Oh no, she was NOT going to let him get away. You do NOT attack who was not only the Alpha of the Werewolf Clan, but was the last fertile female of the Werewolf Clan as well, WITHOUT punishment.
Jetta started running after the pig-headed boy. She could smell his fear. She could hear his cries of help. She...
Could feel the cold as they were running through the North Pole?
What the hell?
Oh well, the boy was still in front of her and running for his life. No reason to give up on the hunt. She'd chase him down, catch him, and then give him the beating he so rightfully deserved.
(------)
Though he was now an Energy Ghost, and he owed his new 'physical' presence on the mortal coil, Brendan wasn't going to just listen to the Lich King. "And, please explain. WHY should I help YOU!?"
The Lich King gritted his teeth. "Listen you stupid ball of fur! I gave you a body again! I am giving you a chance to help me rule this world! That should be more than enough!"
Brendan rolled his eyes. "Oh please! Death hasn't made me forget about how you 'helped' me before!"
"I did help you before!" The Lich King stated. "I released you from your prison, and then gave you a plan to get revenge! After all, with the Crystal Obelisk, you had the power to gain your revenge!"
"And you didn't TELL me that the Crystal Obelisk only gave me power of all the Mages of the Jade Realm for only one day!" Brendan countered.
"There was no need!" The Lich King said. "If you had done your job correctly, then you would have only needed one day to gain total vengeance!"
"What!? You betrayed me!" Brendan screamed.
"Only because YOU betrayed ME FIRST!!!" The Lich King countered.
Yawning, Dark Weaver said, "This could take awhile..."
"Definitely..." Phillipa agreed.
Maharet yawned. "Don't they realize we're losing precious hours of nightfall?"
And the two undead villains continued to argue...
(------)
After Sailor Pluto had explained the importance of getting the Pure Heart Crystals back into their rightful owners, and stopping the Lich King from bringing about the end of all existence as they knew it, Ranma and the Diggers group decided. They would help. After all, it seemed as if they were the last, best hope the world had at the moment.
Ranma sighed. "Okay Sailor Pluto, we'll do it!"
"Right!" Gina agreed. "There's no way we'll let grandpa destroy the world!"
"Well send grandpa back to the boneyard!" Britanny seconded as she cracked her knuckles.
Though the Edge Guard had never personally faced the Lich King, they were experienced against his minions. They were ready for action and keep the peace.
Nabiki kept to her hiding spot as she watched all that was going on. She wasn't 100% sure just yet, but she had a feeling that the Cheetah-man was Ranma. After all, not only did everyone call him Ranma, but he also sounded like the pig-tailed martial artist she knew.
"Ranma, you and I are going to have a talk when this is over and done with..." Nabiki thought to herself.
(------)
Meanwhile, at the other end of the park, Ryoga was running for his life still. He had gone through the North Pole, the Gobi Desert, Las Vegas, Nevada, Shangri-la, the Amazon Rainforest heck, he even went through some place called, 'Area 51'. And yet, even through all these places, he STILL couldn't lose the werewolf woman!
Jetta, having become very tired of this already, kept chasing after Ryoga until she was less than a meter away from him. Then, she lunged at Ryoga and caught him. She began to repeatedly smash his head against the concrete path built through the forested area.
"Okay!-*WHAM*-You stupid-*WHAM*-jerk! You're going to-*WHAM*-get it now!" *WHAM* *WHAM* *WHAM* *WHAM* Was all Jetta said as she continued slamming the lost boy into the ground over and over again...
"Uh... Jetta?" Came a voice to the side. Jetta stopped as she recognized the voice. Turning her head to the side, Jetta saw the Diggers, and... Another werecheetah!? Hmm... That was new.
Ranma blinked. Jetta was here too? Eyeing the person who she was beating on, Ranma shook his head. It was Ryoga. Well, that made sense. Follow that guy for a couple of hours, and he'll get you to any place in the world. Wait a minute, why was Jetta eyeing him so intently?
Jetta stood up from the now unconscious Ryoga. "Okay, could someone PLEASE explain to me what's going on?"
(-------)
"YOU WILL HELP ME!" The Lich King commanded.
"I WILL NOT!" Brendan spat back.
"YOU WILL!"
"I WON'T!"
"YOU WILL!"
"I WON'T!"
"WILL!"
"WON'T!"
"WILL!"
"WON'T!"
Maharet yawned. "I'm glad this conversation is being conducted on a mature, sophisticated level between the two gentleman..." The other two secretaries groaned in agreement.
