Just Normal Girls

A/N: Well, I guess the Bonus chapter inspired me, so I'm gonna start with the story arc. This is the Project Hexagon story arc. Things should go along well, but all that's missing is a villain. I really want Lord Zed to be the villain, but I'm also trying to keep with Ranger continuity. Please give me suggestions for a villain.

Chapter 17: Turn Up the Power

Ranma was seriously considering giving back the engagement ring. She was now stuck in a bridal shop with her fiancees and mom, as well as her grandmother in law. She was forced to try on several wedding gowns against her will. Much like Haruka, Ukyo and Xian threatened to have her sleep on the couch. She never thought she would miss her princess dress from the party. She sighed as she looked at herself in the full length mirror yet again.

"Well son in law, I don't believe I would ever see you in this position of a wedding." Cologne said.

"Well, you want me to marry Shampoo don't you? If that means I have to wear this gettup, then I'll do what I gotta do."

"Well, I should let you know that Amazon law allows three or more women to be together."

"I'm still not going back to China. We have work to do."

"Ah yes, my grand daughter tells me that you and her lover have important jobs. Though she didn't tell me what it was. I suppose you won't tell me."

"You got it. Hey Mom, can I get changed now?" Ranma asked her mother.

"Aww, but sweety, you look so precious dressed like that." Nodoka joked.

"Well, you'll see it one more time, and never again."

"Airen be okay if Xian try dress now?" the Chinese Senshi asked.

"Yeah, sure. I miss pants."

Change of Scene

Ranma, Xian, and Ukyo were sitting on the couch in their living room watching TV. Makoto had come over to visit. The woman on the news was talking about current events, including the Senshi's business and how there were so many of them.

"Hey, how come we never watch regular TV like normal teenagers?" Ranma asked. They all shrugged.

"And now, in World News, we have reports from Turtle Cove. A monster, only known as 'Master Org' was recently destroyed, thanks to the endeavors of the six masked figures known as the Power Rangers Wild Force. These six heroes are apparently the American protectors similar to our own Sailor Senshi. This is very similar to the alien invasion of 1998, which was stopped thanks to another group of similarly clad Power Rangers, calling themselves the Space Rangers. It's these heroes that help us sleep at night. Thank you Senshi, and Power Rangers alike."

"Power Rangers?" Ranma questioned.

"Yeah, they seem to be centered around America. I can't believe you haven't heard of them yet." Makoto said.

"Well, I've been away from civilization for ten years. How long have they been around?"

"I think they were first known in the early ninety's." Ukyo said.

"I think it would be hard to avoid them even if you've been in the wilderness. They have a giant robot fight every week." Makoto stated.

"Hey! That's not fair. Why don't we get a giant robot?" Ranma complained.

"Well, considering you can't even drive a car, I don't feel safe with you in a machine that can topple a building."

"Hey! I can topple a building if I wanted to!"

Change of Scene

Ami did her daily scrolling through the Mercury Computer for the secret to life, the universe, and everything. She once actually searched that in the computer and the number 42 just popped up. She didn't really understand that.

The report of the Wild Force Rangers was shown in the periphery of her vision. She shrugged and searched 'Power Rangers' in the computer.

What came up was an enormous stockpile of data. Ami, for the first time in a long time, was shocked. Not only were there files on the Wild Force Rangers and the history of Animarium, but info on any of the rangers that existed beforehand.

"I gotta talk to the other girls soon..."

"Ami, there's a boy named Hikaru here to see you!" Ami's mother called out.

"...maybe tomorrow."

Change of Scene

Natsuru folded her last bit of clothes and zipped up her dufflebag. Her mother walked in and noticed that she was packing up.

"Going somewhere?" she asked.

"Ranma's taking Haruhi, me, and some of the other girls to train."

"Natsuru, are you really serious about this gender change?"

The blue haired girl closed her eyes and sighed, "Mom, I know this is weird for you, but it's my choice. I know it's not a small choice, but I think it's for the best. And I can always turn back if the situation calls for it."

"Like in bed." Harakiri Tiger stated.

"That will take some time to get used to though."

"Okay honey, if you really think being a girl will make you happy, then I guess I can't stop you. Welcome to the family, daughter." Kagami embraced her daughter lovingly.

"Thanks Mom. I promise to be a good daughter."

"You're a teenage girl, that's impossible."

Change of Scene

Ranma stood before her friends, or rather a good chunk of her friends considering how many she had at this point. Xian, Ukyo, Natsuru, Haruhi, Usagi, Rei, Minako, Makoto, Ami, Tia, Mia, Mikoto and Shizuku were all waiting at a train station for their ride.

"Ranma, you never did tell us where we're going." Natsuru said.

"It's a special closed off location I found a while back. I don't know if anyone else knows about it, but we should have the place to ourselves."

"What's it like?" Haruhi asked.

"Well, let's just say you girls will like it."

The train arrived and the group boarded their car. The couples, or threesomes, sat next to each other and many of the male passengers were oggling the beautiful teenagers in the car.

Ranma yawned after about ten minutes of the train traveling.

"You okay Ranchan?" Ukyo asked.

"Yeah, I just never got used to modern transportation. It makes me sleepy a lot."

"Ranma go to sleep now. Xian wake Ranma when we get there."

"Thanks." The small redhead fell asleep and Xian leaned against her, falling asleep too.

Meanwhile, there were two men eavesdropping on the girls subtly.

Change of Scene

The train pulled to a stop slowly.

Ukyo noticed her two girls were leaning against each other asleep.

"Hey Ranchan, come on, get up we're here." Ukyo marveled at how cute her future wife was when her eyes fluttered open. She also noticed the same when Xian opened her eyes as well, brushing her purple hair out of her face.

"Oh yeah, this is the right stop. Let's go get our stuff."

The mass of females all got off the train and started walking down the dirt path Ranma had designated. Meanwhile, the two men listening to them got off the train just as the door was closing.

"So, where do we go from here Ranma?" Rei asked.

"We need to follow the path up the mountain, we should be there in three hours."

"I don't wanna walk that far." Usagi whined.

"Maybe I can give you a reward for walking all the way up there." Minako said, her fingers tracing up the other blonde's body.

"Keep it to yourself." Haruhi commented.

"Look who's talking." Mikoto replied.

"You have a problem with Natsuru and me?"

"I got a problem with Natsuru in general."

"What are you talking about Mikoto?" Natsuru asked.

"What do you think? I was the one who stuck with you through thick and thin and you choose this floozy?"

Natsuru couldn't stop herself and slapped Mikoto across the face.

"Mikoto, how dare you. Yes, you're my friend, but that's all you are, a friend. It didn't help that Akane and Shizuku wanted me too. I love Haruhi and she loves me, even when I'm a girl. If you really can't see that, then maybe we shouldn't be friends."

Then there was a click, and Mia was in her Kampfer form, her pistol pointing at Mikoto.

"I'm not one to let the pussy have his way, but you better back the fuck off before I shoot your tits off."

"Hey! I will cancel this training trip right now!" Ranma yelled. Mia slowly lowered her gun, but still clearly angry. Tia wrapped her arms around her girl's shoulders and she immediately reverted to her civilian form.

'Wow, she can make Akane calm down that easily. I could never do that.' Natsuru thought.

After walking for what felt like forever, they found the area Ranma said was the training ground. All of the girls gasped. It was a huge open area with a cliff and waterfall, as well as hot springs with shoots of bamboo sticking out of them. It was clear that Ranma had been there before, with several boulders that looked cracked open.

"Alright, let's set up our tents and get started." Ranma declared.

Change of Scene

A few hours later, most of the girls started to collapse from exhaustion. The only ones who didn't were Ranma, Xian, Ukyo, and Makoto. Though Makoto and Ukyo were both panting, sweating, and breathing heavily.

"Ranchan, this training is...it's too much..." Ukyo said.

"Well excuse me, last I checked, the Moderators aren't gonna just give us leeway when we fight 'em. Just because I threw a boulder at you from the cliff so you can catch it, doesn't mean you can slouch off."

"Shouldn't we just train in our senshi forms?" Ami asked.

"Well, I would suggest that if we weren't being watched."

"Wait, what? Since when was someone watching us? And how did you know?" Makoto asked.

"Well, I sensed two people following us from the train station. They're watching us right now, and if they start advancing toward us, I'll let you know. But for now, we shouldn't do anything suspicious."

"So what should we do now?" Rei asked.

"Well, this is usually the point where my dad throws me into a pit of starving cats, but since I'm not a sociopath, I think we should all just stop for today and get in the hot springs."

"Yay! I get to see my lover naked again!" Usagi cheered.

"Actually I think, since we're still being watched, we should just wear bathing suits." Shizuku stated.

The girls all got into their swimsuits and lowered themselves into the small pool of boiling water. All the girls with long hair had tied them up like Natsuru's to keep them out of the water.

"You still feel weird about being in the hot tub with us Ranchan?" Ukyo asked.

"Nah, I'm gonna marry you soon, so I'm pretty used to not changing in water."

"I'm proud of you Ranma, you came a long way from the day we first met in school." Natsuru commented.

"I don't think I could've done it without you buddy. It's like you said, I would rather be a complete girl than half a guy."

"It's weird that you say that Ranchan, I didn't think you'd ever say that. Especially with that R Tard of a dad." Ukyo said.

"Do I look like I wanna end up like my dad? I'm a girl and all my friends are girls, and we're the protectors of humanity."

"Oh yeah, that reminds me, I forgot to tell you guys about the Power Rangers." Ami said.

"Wait, those spandex guys we saw on the news?"

"Yep, it turns out they became known public figures in the early 90's in an American city called Angel Grove. They were called the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, and they were based on prehistoric animals. About three years later, a new group of Power Rangers showed up, the Power Rangers Zeo. They helped Earth when it was under attack by the Machine Empire, and empire of robots. After that, there were the Turbo Rangers, and finally the Space Rangers that stopped an alien invasion in the late 90's. After that, there were a few other ranger teams that showed up in different parts of America."

"Well, it's good to know that we don't have to be everywhere at once." Rei said.

"Hey, we better get out now. I'm starting to prune." Minako said. The girls all agreed and climbed out to dry off.

The couples of the gang all got their own separate tents for obvious reasons. The single girls all shared their own large tent.

The next morning, Ranma got up quickly, sensing the two people who were following them entering the training grounds. She pulled on a tshirt and sweatpants and ran outside.

Standing by the tents were two full grown men. Both looked American. The one standing in front had blonde hair parted and was wearing a red jacket with black lining around it. The other was a man with dark short hair in small spikes. He was wearing a simple black shirt, with a white button up over it, though he was also wearing sunglasses.

"Who are you, and why have you been following us?" Ranma asked.

"Ranma? What's going on?" Usagi asked as she walked out of her tent.

"Are you Usagi Tsukino, also known as Sailor Moon?" The blonde man asked.

"Um...yes...how do you know who I am?"

He held up his arm showing a rectangular device on his wrist, "This is Doctor Oliver, and I'm Carter Greyson, Lightspeed Rescue Red Ranger."

End of Chapter: Of Course I had to do the Forever Red reference! It's the best episode of the entire franchise! Anyway, sorry again about the whole, almost a whole frickin' month thing. I've been busy with SAT's, driving lessons, my anime club, and personal family issues. Anyway, thanks for reading and be sure to review.

This is adakun13, and I love you.
