"I've got a sad ceiling about this," misquoted Sailor Venus.
"AH!" said Sailor Moon, pointing. "Someone tied Sailor Uranus-san and Sailor Neptune-san with yellow ribbons to an old oak tree!"
"They were being rather boorish," said a tall figure as he walked past the group, carrying a stone menhir over one shoulder.
"We'll have to attack," said Pluto, holding her staff up. "dead - "
crackle WHAM!
No less than seventeen bolts of lightning all converged on Sailor Pluto. She stood there for a moment, wisps of smoke trailing from her staff, before she fell over.
"Oh! Rei Hino!" A woman with circles on her forehead and the crest of each cheek seemed to show up out of nowhere. "Glad you could make it."
"I don't know any Rei - ?!" Sailor Mars got a good look at the woman she was talking to, and her hair tried to stand straight up. "AMATERASU OMIKAMI-SAMA?!"
"Please don't shout, dear, it's dreadfully impolite," said the goddess.
"Mars-san, do you have any idea what's going on here?" asked Jupiter.
"...this is Amaterasu Omikami. I've glimpsed her occasionally through fire readings," said the miko, a fine sheen of perspiration forming.
"EH?!" said Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn.
"Mph?" said Neptune from her current position, not seeing any resemblence to the pictures.
"Oh, and you must be 'the one called Sailor Moon'," said the sun goddess, taking up Moon's limp hands in her own. "Or should I say 'Princess Serenity'? We really must get together and have a chat sometime."
"Eh?" said Sailor Moon, hoping this wasn't going to be horribly painful or something.
"Oh, Ranma!" Amaterasu turned and beckoned. "I've got a mortal fiance again. This is Ranma Saotome, heir of the Saotome School of Anything Goes Indiscriminate Grappling. He's trying to redeem that school, considering who the founder of it was."
"I am?" asked Ranma, before he realized that Happosai was the founder. The two fathers were the perpetuators (or perpetrators if you preferred) thereafter. Compared to what the three of them had done, he really WAS redeeming the Anything Goes style!
"These are the Sailor Senshi, they're superheroines who go out and do battle with all sorts of nasty monsters and villains," said Amaterasu. "Reminds me of some of these others when we were all younger and more impetuous. Ah well. Maybe they could use your help the next time they're fighting a menace from beyond."
Ranma and the various Senshi all seemed to regard each other. Ranma avoided commenting on the cheerleader costumes. After all, Kodachi fought in a leotard and Shampoo fought in darn little. The Senshi avoided commenting on the apparent lack of magical powers.
Saturn shrugged and began cutting her "parents" free, it reminded her way too much of one night she'd gotten up to get a drink of water and she'd found them in the living room. Handcuffs. Rubber suits. Weird gadgets. The pirate costume. The television playing some bizarre thing involving the smurfs. At least she thought it was the smurfs. No, some memories were simply not suitable for someone of her tender age.
"I believe you've met Bishamon-ten," said Amaterasu, waving to an armored figure across the partygrounds.
Mars looked and paled further, looking a little faint as she realized just what she'd come here to do and who was here. "oh my dear kami."
Amaterasu just smiled and patted the young miko absently on the shoulder. "There there, child. Now do be a good dear and mingle."
"Good fights, huh?" said Ranma as his fiancee wandered off.
"Evil yoma, Dark Generals, Menaces from Beyond," responded a distracted Mars.
"Cool," said Ranma. "Sounds like I'm staying here. Ya might give me a call or something."
If Sailor Pluto wasn't passed out, she might have screamed something about the sanctity of the timestream. As it was she simply continued to smoulder.
"So who are all these... people?" asked Mercury as she tried to make sense out of the readings she was getting.
"Uhm, well that guy there's name is 'Thor' and he's married to that gal named 'Sif'," said Ranma, sure of those two names at least. "That's Bishamonten, that's King Yama, that's Bastet, that's Eilistraee, that's Hestia, that there's Athena, Apollo, and what's his name. Uhm."
Mars twitched, her eyes flicking from one figure to another as she began assigning names.
"Excuse me," said a brightly smiling young woman with a tray that held roasted tortilla chips upon which a spicy cheese sauce had been recently drizzled. "My name's Hestia. Would you care for some nachos?"
Finally Saturn cut through enough ribbon that the two Outers were freed, they immediately
