It was at that time that the group involved with Ranma, aka the NWC, took that as the sign to launch their attacks/accusations and demeaning insults at the boy laying on the ground. Unfortunately for the wrecking crew, before they could get within five feet of Ranma, dozens of small logs appeared out of thin air to surround them before several thousands of volts of Jurian energy made them all collapse in a pile of blackened and unconscious bodies.
"Oh my," Kasumi said as she looked at the group. "I'd better go get something to clean that up. Nabiki, would you please give me a hand?"
"Uh...sure," she said when she noticed Ranma wasn't blowing up at the fact that Akane was just tazered unconscious by flying pieces of wood. Normally she would of stuck around to watch the fireworks, but if the thickheaded jock wasn't going to try and run interference then she didn't want to be caught in the crossfire.
"Ayeka, don't you think that was a little much?" Tenchi asked the purple haired princess. "Uh, Ayeka?" When no response came he waved his hand in front of her face, and still got nothing.
"Tenchi," Washu spoke up. "I don't think she was the one who did that." The scientist then pointed to the frowning Sasami, who in turn muttered something that sounded like abusive jerks.
"Okay," Haruka said. "Would someone please tell me WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" Behind her Sailor Pluto seemed to shimmer out of existence for a moment, and then pop back a second later.
"I guess I'll fill that one," the green haired senshi said before stepping forward. "What's obliviously happened here was a cause of some kind of temporal paradox that resulted in the realigning of the space time continuum to the starting point after removing the catalyst."
"Hmm, makes sense," Washu concurred. However, when the conscious people in the room replied with a chorus of 'huh?' she just turned back to everyone as sighed. "Something happened in the past that was impossible, so... it didn't happen at all, and the thing that caused it to happen is now gone. Our presence here is simply a side effect of this."
"Why can't you ever explain things that simple?" Haruka asked her partner.
"Oh be quiet," Setsuna replied.
"Yeah but what about Sasami?" Ryoko said as she pointed towards the girl. Showing the better judgment, she had been staying quiet till now, but her curiosity had gotten the better of her. Besides, now that Sasami looked like that, it would mean another person trying to steal her Tenchi away. "And... just who the heck are you people anyway?" And what was up with the fact they were all in cheerleading outfits?
"You're not from Tokyo, are you?" Setsuna asked.
"Gee, what was your first clue?" the blue haired, golden eyed alien asked sarcastically as she floated off the ground.
And so, many explanations, introductions, and shock treatments to the NWC later...
"Why in the hell are we letting Hotaru go with them?" Haruka demanded as she walked off the dojo grounds while carrying her fainted lover. "They're aliens! It's our duty to destroy them."
"And how exactly would you propose we do that hmm?" Setsuna asked. "We were outgunned, outnumbered, and Neptune was unconscious."
"But what about Hotaru?" Uranus asked.
"She wanted to go with her...fiancés," Setsuna told her. Oh god that was hard to choke down. Everything had been arranged so that none of the senshi would ever find a spouse in order to keep their bonds to Serenity as strong as they could be. Hotaru finding two this early, and one being a Jurian at that, was something that Setsuna had NOT seen coming. "And besides, what do you propose to do, kidnap her? She's barely younger than you anymore."
In response Haruka just grumbled while Setsuna raised her hand up to signal a nearby car. "Taxi!"
-Meanwhile on the other end of Japan-
A large ship that appeared to be made of crystal descended from the sky and floated over the land near the Masaki shrine. A second later a green transport beam sent to the Earth materialized a group containing various aliens, a martial artist (or two if you counted Tenchi), a reincarnated alien princess, and one alien goddess currently posing as just an alien princess.
"Well here we are, home sweet home," Ryoko said before putting her arm around Sasami's shoulder. "Now come on and let's go celebrate that engagement, there's still some good saki left in the fridge." Of course after Ryoko had found out that Sasami had found her own man in the alternate time stream and was sticking with him, she was all for this wedding. Now, if she could only get that Ayeka brat of her guy's back.
"RYOKO," Ayeka, who had recovered from her daze during the trip home, shouted. "I will not have you corrupting my sister with your... ways!"
"Oh learn to lighten up princess," Ryoko told the girl. "Besides, as far as we know, I've already gotten to her."
"Let's not bring that alternate timeline into this, it's only going to confuse us more." Washu said. "Besides, I'm tired, it's time to sleep, so lets go." And with a yawn the greatest scientific mind in the universe trotted off towards the Masaki household, and more importantly, her bed.
"Best idea I've heard all day," Hotaru said before heading up to the house. At least that is before she realized something. "Uh, just where are we going to sleep exactly?"
"Oh yeah, you three probably want some alone time," Ryoko said with a malicious grin as the trio's face's simultaneously blushed bright red at the implication.
"NOW HOLD ON JUST A MINIUTE!" Ayeka shouted. "S-Sasami, you can't do that!"
"Yeah I suppose not, we do share the same room after all," the goddess mumbled. Ah well, it wouldn't take very long to build an addition with Washu around.
"But-" Ayeka stuttered.
"I guess you can share my room," Tenchi told the other boy before pointing towards the house. "Come on, it's this way." Ranma just kept silent and followed. It was way too late for this kind of stuff.
"But-"
"Come on, my bed is big enough for two," Sasami told Hotaru as she led her up the path.
"Uh, do you even need to sleep?" Hotaru asked the goddess while they walked away from the quickly diminishing crowd.
"Dunno," she replied in the same low tone. "But I hope so. It's going to be real boring with nothing to do at night of I don't."
"But," Ayeka stuttered again.
Ryoko just laughed at her rival's reaction and quickly teleported into the house. If this was going to be the pattern in recent weeks, then she really should borrow Nobuyuki's recorder for making home movies. She did not want to forget that look on Ayeka's face.
"BUT HE'S NOT EVEN A NOBLE!" Ayeka finally shouted, and then blinked a few times when she saw the only one around was Ryo-oki, who had just landed and was in cabbit form.
"Meow!"
