Venus spun in place and stared. "Ryouga?!"
"That's my name..," the Lost Boy murmured, "How'd you know it?"
"Umm... Well... I..."
"And why are you dressed like that woman who keeps showing up and yelling at me?"
"Huh? I am?"
"Well... Only in the kind of stuff you're wearing. Her outfit has a darker stuff on it, she wears boots, and she's always been carrying this giant key..."
"Pluto's been trying to kill you?"
"She's what?!"
The blonde nodded firmly. "She's trying to get rid of you so that you can't get in her way."
"So that's why she's always showing up?!" Ryouga asked, as he noted the differences in this girl's outfit from the other's. This one had an orange skirt, and instead of boots, she wore these high heeled shoes that showed off a lot of shapely leg...
As the boy stumbled a bit, she noticed and wondered. "Are you okay? She didn't hurt you did she?"
"Uh... no... that is... Your outfit..."
"What? You think it's ugly?"
"No, no! I... It's great, and you look beautiful..."
"You think so?"
"Well yeah..," he began... and found himself recieving a hug from a shapely young girl.
Mars sighed and shook her head as she watched the boy her friend was latched onto fell over with a goofy look on his face before turning to look at the girl who had shown up. "May I help you?"
"Yeah," said the brunette as the hoops that her hair was braided into moved slightly in the breeze. "You know somebody who dresses like you do, only she carries a big staff and an attitude?"
"You mean Pluto?"
"Is that her name? Because when I was approaching this really cute guy, this psycho shows up and tries to fry me for 'being an uncontrolled element' and 'interfering with the time stream'!"
"We had to take a reading and tracked her to back here," said a green haired girl.
"Sounds like she's at it again," the Fire Senshi replied, "We're supposed to protect the planet, but she's apparently lost it and is trying to get everybody who might be a problem to what she's trying to do. So we're trying to find her to stop her."
"You are?"
"Yeah, we are. We just have to get to her first."
"Count me in... um... What's your name?"
"I'm Sailor Mars, and you are?"
"Yohko Mano, the hundred and eighth Devil Hunter. And this is my assistant Azusa."
"'Devil Hunters', huh? I've used talismans that have been pretty good on monsters..."
"You have?"
"Yeah... I think I have one..."
"What's with all the hot chicks?" asked a new male voice.
Jupiter glanced over and scowled. "What are you doing here Kusanagi?"
"Just checking things out. I was passing by when I saw this, and I remembered that there was this chick that attacked me and some of the others at my school a while back."
"What'd you do? Grunt at her?"
"Nothin'. We were just takin' down this guy who was tryin' ta pawn some sort of trick stuff on campus and she got all uptight about it."
"Someone worked with a jerk like you?"
"So I'm not the only one to get annoyed with this caveman?" a new voice put in.
"Huh?" went the emerald eyed Senshi as she turned to the speaker.
"So you made it Ryoko?" Shizuma asked cheerfully.
"Of course I did," the swordswoman replied, "Having people attack our campus isn't something I can allow."
"Yeah, but it'll be a good fight too."
"He is right..," Jupiter allowed, "But even if she's going nuts, she's still a friend... no matter if she's trying to keep me from finally getting my sempai."
"She nearly killed mine..," Ryoko commented.
"She did? Maybe he was going to meet one of us. She's been after any guy we like. Which will leave me with little chance to find anyone once she gets through. I mean... I'm so much taller and tougher than they are, I wonder if they're afraid of me..."
"And you wonder if you're cute, right?"
"And you try to figure out what you can do to show them how feminine you can be..."
"Only to give up and try to be yourself..."
"I think that the two of us will have a lot to talk about..," Ryoko drawled.
"I think I'd like that," Jupiter replied.
Shizuma shrugged, and blinked as he saw even more people arriving.
Things were changing, and not in the way that Pluto meant them to.
She kept on trying to get people who in some way were going to be involved with ruining what she had worked so hard for.
Unfortunately, with her manic attempts to get to every possible 'threat', she was being sloppy.
Which was resulting in none of her attacks really hurting anyone.
As well as bringing back the cause of it all.
Because Ranma Saotome had just woken up, and:
