Just Normal Girls

A/N: Sorry to keep all of you waiting. I know what a pain it is to wait for a story to be updated (Harry Potter and the Wild Stallion) and I apologize to all my fans. You're probably wondering what kept me. I'll tell you, life. Life kept me back from my keyboard and it was hell. I hope to never fall victim to life again.

Chapter 12: Fan, you have been hit.

Sakura Kaede strolled through the main Tokyo shopping Center, completely incognito and unnoticed by everyone. To the people, she was just another generic faceless anime girl. And no one seemed to notice when she dropped a crystal onto the ground. The crystal sank into the ground and slowly started to branch out to other parts of Tokyo. The crystals then started to form and grow.

Sakura sensed this development and smiled her typical devilish smile. She would leave no one left, Kampfer, Senshi, anyone.

Change of Scene

Saffron looked over the urban area of Tokyo as he was perched over a tower.

"Lord Saffron, we believe we have found it." came a voice behind him. The Phoenix demigod stood up slowly and turned to a female bird person.

"Excellent Kiima, you will send all of our most powerful warriors to find it. Right now. There will be nothing to stop my ascension, especially not some pathetic landling."

"All glory to the Phoenix Saffron." Kiima said before flying off.

Change of Scene

"Nodoka, this is the Time Gate. With this, we can observe all of time as it is seen and perceived. As my understudy Sailor Charon, you will be out there in the Time Stream or on the battlefield while I feed you information that will aid you."

"Shouldn't it be the other way around since I'm your apprentice?"

"Is Sailor Pluto gonna have to choke a bitch?" "No ma'am."

"Good, now we have a meeting to attend to. Your daughter and friends should help you practice your powers."

Meanwhile

"I feel something in the tides coming for us. Something big." Michiru said. She was seated next to her lover with Hotaru sitting on her lap.

"So it's not just me. I felt it too, and I have a feeling Setsuna does too." Haruhi said.

"You'd be correct, offspring of Callista." came a voice behind her. Haruhi, being used to surpirses whenever in the Host Club, merely turned around a nodded.

"Setsuna, when you said I wouldn't mind your solution to my mom finding out, I didn't think it would be this."

"Are saying you take back what you said?" came another voice behind Ranma, who jumped up like she heard a cat meow.

"You made Auntie a senshi?" Tia asked.

"I figured that the only way to keep her child's secret, was if it was her secret too."

"That surprisingly makes sense." Ami said.

"You can just make anyone a Senshi, Setsuna?" Usagi asked.

"Of course. Sailor Charon never existed, and thus was never reincarnated by Queen Serenity. Therefore, I took it upon myself to place the role of my disciple into the very capable hands of Saotome-san."

"You're okay with this Ranma?" Tia asked.

"I'm okay with it, but I don't have to like it."

"Onto another subject. Ami, I think you were talking about something you found, right?" Makoto asked.

"Yep, I was looking through the Mercury Computer and found files of attacks that we've never used before. I kept looking through it and found that they were all different combinations of our powers being used as attacks."

"Seriously? Like Fire and Ice?" Natsuru asked.

"Exactly, or any other Senshi ability. I plugged in the abilities of all the lunar senshi and the computer came up with these results."

A hologram appeared above the Mercury computer and showed Uranus and Neptune opening a crack in the earth and shooting a geyser out of it. Then it changed to Venus using her chain with Moon's glowing tiara at the end of it as she swung it about and sliced off the limbs of various youma. The third showed Pluto and Saturn creating a shockwave that made all the youma around them freeze in time. The fourth and final hologram showed Io channeling Jupiter's lightning into her Warhammer and making an impact that looked more like a crater.

"That was amazing." Ukyo said.

"That's what I said when I first saw it. Think of all the things we could do if we tried it." Ami replied.

"Okay, that settles it. Everyone, pair up. We are trying this new power right now!" Ranma announced.

"But Airen, Shampoo no even know what power hers."

"I don't know either daughter." Nodoka said.

"Okay, then we'll try them out first. Usagi, we need to follow the leader."

"Good point. Everyone power up. Moon Prism Power Make Up!" "Mercury Power Make Up!" "Venus Power Make Up!" "Mars Power Make Up!" "Jupiter Power Make Up!" "Uranus Power Make Up!" "Neptune Power Make Up!" "Saturn Power Make Up!" "Pluto Power Make Up!"

"Crimson Power Make Up!" "Cyan Power Make Up!"

"Io Lumina Power Make Up!" "Ganymede Lumina Power Make Up!" "Umbriel Lumina Power Make Up!"

All the tranformed senshi looked towards Nodoka, who was the only one left. She looked down at her henshin pen.

"Go ahead mom. It's alright. We'll do this together like you said."

"Charon Lumina Power Make Up!"

"Well, that makes it official. The gang's all here." Moon said.

"Would you ladies care for a sparring partner?" Mori said.

"That's sweet Mori-Sempai, but we're an even number so we should be fine. We can switch off with you and Honey-Sempai if you'd like." Callisto said.

"That sounds like fun Callis-chan!" Honey said.

"Okay Charon, Umbriel, let's see what you two can do." Ganymede said.

Umbriel focused her energy on her attacks. Her fingertips started to glow and extended to a point. She had grown cat claws (irony, or something else?). Somehow, Mori was fast enough to set up straw training dummies for everyone around the Host Club room.

"Umbriel Neko Slash!" she appeared to be clawing at air, but when she stopped, the dummy fell down into a pile of straw. Everyone applauded her as she sheathed the energy claws.

"That was better than my Nekoken." Crimson said.

"Okay, Charon, you're next." Pluto said.

Charon looked deep inside herself and found exactly what she was hoping to look for. A bright flash and a glowing red katana appeared in her hands. She brought it back and slashed it through the air. She then slashed at the dummy.

"Charon Flux!" There was a glowing red line on the dummy where Charon had sliced her sword. Then the dummy disintegrated into thin air, leaving a pile of red dust on the ground.

"Mom...that was incredible."

"I had a feeling my protege' would have this kind of power." Pluto said.

"You know what it is Pluto mama?" Saturn asked.

"A special attack I developed myself as a last resort. The sword purges all evil by sending the enemy's soul through all the pain ever felt in all of time up to this point in exactly pi seconds."

"pi?" Crimson asked.

"Honestly Ranma, do you ever pay attention in school?" Io asked.

"Pi is 3. in my abridged version." Mercury said.

"I think my brain just peed itself." Usagi said.

"Alright, now that we got that outta the way. I think it's high time to practice our combining. Who's with me?" Crimson asked.

About half an hour later, no one had come close to eventually doing a combined attack. The Outers were the only ones who didn't end up completely embarrassing themselves. Io was zapped by Jupiter's lightning, Mars was completely frozen in ice from Mercury. Moon tripped, knocking Venus over before they both could do anything. Umbriel and Ganymede gave up and started kissing in the corner. This distracted Crimson as she got a face of blue fire from Cyan.

"Wow, you really looked stupid Callis-chan." Honey stated.

"Okay guys. I think that might be enough practice for one day. Class dismissed." Crimson said, reverting to her civilian form and trying to stand up.

"Hey Natsuru." Tia said.

"Yeah? What's up?"

"Do you know Mikoto? Or some other girl named Akane?"

"Yeah, they're Kampfer like I used to be. I was actually planning on visiting Akane sometime this week. Why?"

"Well, I was kinda wondering...do you...what kind of person does Mia like?"

"Mia?"

"It's what I call her since we have the same name. She calls me Tia."

"Well, we dated for awhile. And she was okay with me being a girl. But her Kampfer form was just too aggressive."

"I think I could deal with that."

"You starting to have a thing for her?"

"Well...kinda...Her shyness is just, really cute I guess."

"But I thought you weren't a lesbian."

"I don't really know. I fell in love with Ranma at one point, and I thought I could love his girl form. So I figure I could love Mia just the same."

"That's sweet. Just be yourself and she'll respect you for it. And don't tip her off too much, or you'll get shot."

"Natsuru, are you coming?" came a voice

"Coming Haru-chan. I gotta go, okay. I'll see you at the next meeting."

Change of Scene

Ranma laid on the couch in her living room next to Ukyo with Shampoo neko curled up on her, napping soundly.

"So, when do you think this whole big bang is gonna happen?" Ranma asked.

"To be honest honey, I think you guys might be building up all this over nothing. I mean, with all these friends, what's there to be afraid of?"

"You might be right. But any time something bad can happen in my life, it does."

"You worry too much."

Suddenly, the front door of Ranma's house was knocking.

"Ranma, can you get that?" came Nodoka's voice from upstairs.

"Sure thing mom."

Ranma carefully lifted the purple cat off her without waking her and placed her in Ukyo's arms. She then walked to the door and opened it. Standing there was Makoto, she was wearing a simple white turtleneck and looking extremely worried.

"Makoto, what are you-" "Hang on, I need to come in." Makoto rushed in, slammed the door behind her and locked it.

"Have you heard anything?" she asked.

"About what? What are you talking about?"

"You might wanna turn on the TV."

Ranma and Makoto walked into the living room and turned on the TV, Makoto then flipped the channel to the Tokyo News.

"It's been thirty minutes since the outbreak of creatures, only recognizable as youma, began terrorizing Tokyo citizens. It's only a matter of time before the Sailor Senshi arrive to put this matter to rest...Hold on...I'm also getting reports that several half human, half bird beings are polluting the skies. The good news is that the police are able to hold off these creatures as they are susceptible to firearms. Hopefully we can-"

The broadcast was cut short by static and then a click as Ranma turned the TV off.

"It's been going on for only thirty minutes. Why didn't you call us on our communicators?" she asked.

"Believe me, I wanted to. There's something that's interrupting our communicators' signal. We need to get out there and find the others right away."

"No." "NO!" "The others will do fine on their own as long as the youma thin out their ranks. Our top priority right now should be the security of all those millions of innocent lives in Urban Tokyo."

"I hate to say it, but you're right. We can look for them later."

"Ukyo, get Shampoo some hot water and double time it."

"Right."

"I'll be right back."

Ranma ran upstairs to her mom's room and opened it.

"Mom, the whole city's going to hell. You need to meet up with Setsuna in that Time place you were talking about."

"What about you?"

"Makoto's here, and the four of us are going to do what we can to save the citizens."

"I understand, but...please...please come home." Nodoka said, her eyes starting to tear up.

Ranma embraced her mother, "I promise. Ranma Saotome don't lose."

Ranma ran back downstairs where Makoto, Shampoo, and Ukyo were all standing waiting for her.

"Why didn't you guys transform yet!" Ranma yelled.

"Well, we thought we'd wait for our fearless leader." Ukyo teased.

Ranma smiled at the statement and nodded, "Let's do it!"

"Ganymede Lumina Power Make Up!" "Umbriel Lumina Power Make Up!" "Jupiter Power Make Up!"

"CRIMSON POWER MAKE UP!"

Four bright transformations later, and Crimson stood in front of her special squadron.

"Let's go ladies." she said before all of them roof hopped to Urban Tokyo.

Change of Scene

"Mars Flame Sniper!" the flaming arrow shot straight through another birdman's chest, killing him instantly. Mars didn't have time to celebrate, Mercury was getting pummeled by three more youma. All the youma resembled beings made out of crystal or diamonds. It seemed to be an accurate statement since the gashes on both senshi seemed to come from very sharp points on the ends of the youmas' hands. Mars used a fiery fist and punched the youma nearest Mercury away from her.

"Get up Merc!" she yelled. The senshi of ice (the blue one, that is) struggled and pulled herself up with the help of Mars.

"Do you think the others are doing okay?" Mercury asked.

"Definitely, we just need to believe in them. For now, we keep on fighting."

Just as she finished talking, the ground opened up and more crystal youma climbed out of the earth. One jumped out of the fissure and was about to slice Mars in half when it exploded in front of her. The shrapnel left slices on Mars' arms and legs, but she was otherwise unharmed.

"You should pay more attention to your surroundings." came a voice. Mars looked over to see Uranus and Neptune standing back to back.

"It's about time you guys came." Mercury said.

"We'll clean up here. You guys should head towards Tokyo Tower, Moon, Venus and Io aren't doing so well." Neptune said.

"What about you? And where's Saturn?" Mars asked.

"She's with Pluto in the Time Gates, so don't worry. Get going, we'll be fine." Uranus said. And with that, Mercury and Mars went off towards the center of Tokyo.

"Ready love?" "Ready"

The senshi of Earth and Sea got into a fighting stance and held each other's hands, their fingers laced together.

"Helix Geyser!" they both yelled at the same time. Another crack opened in the earth and steaming hot water erupted from it, vaporizing all the youma in the area and sending the nearby bird people to retreat. Though the pair had their hands full since more started to show up.

Change of Scene

"Moon Tiara Action!" Moon yelled as she threw her light disc, cutting through half a dozen youma in one throw.

"Venus Crescent Beam!" Venus yelled, shooting her energy blast.

"We can't keep this up forever." Io said, smashing a youma into another with her warhammer.

"You won't have to Tomboy." came a voice above her. Crimson, Umbriel, Ganymede and Jupiter all jumped down off a rooftop and joined the fray.

"Hey, is that it?" One birdman asked another.

"I think it is, it's the Gekkaja. Go inform Lord Saffron immediately."

The senshi ignored them and kept on fighting. Crimson's ice spears killed a ton of youma, while Umbriel slashed through a bunch like they were wet toilet paper. But the most affective, by far, was Ganymede. Her drill proved to shatter any youma that it touched.

"These guys are tough, but we're tougher." Crimson said.

"You'd think that, wouldn't you landling scum." came a voice above them.

The Senshi all looked above them to see another birdman, only this one seemed to be wearing royal garb, had fiery long orange hair, and was weilding a staff similar to the Crimson Ice Rod, only with a ring on the end instead of the crescent moon.

"Are you the one responsible for all this?" Jupiter asked.

"Correct. I am Saffron, King of all the Phoenix Tribe. I am god, and you WILL return my Gekkaja landling woman." he said, directing his anger at Crimson.

"What the hell's a Gekkaja?" she asked.

"The staff you hold in your hands! It is the key to my ascension! Return it, and I will return to China and we will forget this ever happened."

"Sorry pal, family heirloom. Buy a knock off at the gift shop."

"Then you leave me no choice! I will have to kill all of you!"

Just then, Sailor Charon appeared, wielding her katana.

"Charon, get out of here! Right now!" Crimson yelled.

"I came to help and that's exactly what I'll do."

"You can't, you'll just get killed mom!"

"This landling is your mother, you say?" Saffron questioned. He then fired a huge blast of burning ki straight at Charon. Crimson jumped in front of the blast and made it disappear with her staff. When the flames cleared Saffron wasn't there. The Phoenix Lord snuck up behind Charon and grabbed her, holding the bladed ring to her neck as he flew off.

"If you wish to see your mother again, meet me atop your city's tallest structure, alone."

"Damn you Saffron. Let her go you son of a bitch!" Crimson yelled.

"I will, as soon as I gain what is rightfully mine." With that, Saffron flew off with Charon in his arms.

Crimson sank down to her knees and started sobbing quietly, just as the crystal youma all started to fuse together to form an even larger youma.

"I...I promised...nothing bad would happen...to anyone I love..." Crimson whispered. Umbriel wrapped her arms around her lover. Ganymede, however, had a fire burning in her eyes.

"No one makes my Ranma feel bad." she whispered to herself. She needed to vent frustration, and there was a giant monster made of diamonds in front of her.

Her tiara straightened out and she pulled it off her forehead.

"FINISHING...MOOOOOOOOOOOVE!" she yelled as she threw her tiara like a boomerang. It then split into two giant boomerangs and pinned the youma's arms and legs.

"GIGA!" A drill formed in Ganymede's hand and extended to about ten feet long.

"DRILL!" The drill ballooned out to make an enormous tool of destruction.

"!" The colossal drill spun violently as Ganymede charged at the youma, gliding on air. With one move, she used her giga drill to pierce the youma's chest and the monster died in an enormous explosion. Somehow, her tiara survived the explosion and it flew back to her forehead.

She then walked over to where Crimson and Umbriel were now standing.

"Come on guys, we're getting mom back. We're going to Tokyo Tower." Crimson said. She only had one intention. She wasn't going to kill Saffron, she would destroy him.

Change of Scene

Cyan and Callisto had just finished off another batch of youma when they suddenly all stopped.

"What just happened?" Callisto asked.

"I'm not sure."

"Hello Natsuru-san." came a voice behind the pair of senshi. Cyan froze when she recognized the voice and turned to face her old enemy.

"Or should I call you Sailor Cyan?"

"Sakura."

End of Chapter 12: Sorry this took so long, but this is my longest chapter yet, so that should make up for it. And remember to help Japan recover in any way you can so we can get more awesome animes imported.
