Post-manga, it becomes obvious to Ranma that everyone, including his mother sides with Akane against him... Tired, Ranma decides to leave Nerima the next morning... Next morning, Ranma is up and makes breakfast for Kasumi and himself. Ranma is very formal with Kasumi. Kasumi is too shock and surprised to say anything. Ranma informs her that if she doesn't leave the Tendos she will be stuck there until the end of her days, which wouldn't be far off. Ranma leaves... (can't decided about Kasumi) Ranma has left a few "surprises"... - he's removed all records of himself from Nabiki's computer and placed a virus within it to prevent Nabiki from adding anything on him. He's destroyed all film, pictures or papers associated with him. - he leaves Nabiki a note that he made knowm that he isn't protecting her anymore. - the chief of police comes with a squad to arrest Genma for his various crimes and child abuse. Turns out that the chief personally knows Ranma from the times Ranma has helped the police out with powerful martial artist villians... - The Kunos receive invites from the mental wards Ranma uses the Nimban Mirror to go into the past so no one can find him... At the timegate, Sailor Pluto is struck by temporal storms... The entire future of Crystal Tokyo is destroyed... everything is in flux... S.Pluto's first thought is that something happened to Usagi... So S.Pluto teleports to Rei's temple, finds the Inners are having a sleep over... nothing wrong... S.Pluto is about to return to the timegate with the temporal storm gets so worse, the timegate, itself, is destroyed... S.Pluto is de-transformed and hit heavily back power backslash... The Inners call the Outers... Setsuna tells everyone that all of sudden the future is gone and she's powerless... It's as if Usagi was gone... but she's standing there... so that's not it... Using the Sacred Fire and Ami's Mercury Computer, the senshi discover - the Senshi are losing their powers - Crystal Tokyo is a lie/trap to lull the Senshi into a false security... Hence no Outer Senshi in future save Pluto who was impersonated. - Chibi-Usa is part of the Crystal Tokyo lie. If she exists at all, either she's Wiseman's master or a youma pretending to be Usagi and Mamoru's daughter. - Pluto was first to lose her powers, next are Uranus, Mars, and Jupiter, then Neptune, Venus, and Moon, and last are Mercury and Saturn (they don't use their powers much). - The Senshi are currently using "reserve" power sources which are drying up fast per power-up. - The Earth is doomed without Ranma... - Ranma is the source of the Senshi's power and only he can restore their powers - Ranma is in the past Setsuna thinks that one of the Senshi can be sent spiritually into the Past by sacrificing Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter's powers... The question is which Senshi to send into the past to convince Ranma to return and restore the Senshi's powers... Problems: - Ranma doesn't know anything about the Senshi or their power source, but, Ranma+Magic=Bad thing(tm), Ranma+Girl=Bad thing(tm) Ranma+Magic Girl=Very, Very Bad thing(tm) - Ranma has found Hiko Seijyuurou and convinced Hiko to teach him the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu... Unlike Kenshin, Ranma understands that the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu isn't an assassin's style but a style to protect the weak from groups. Killing one's opponent/enemy can be necessary... - Ranma Versus Kenshin for the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu... There can only be one Hiten Mitsurugi Master... Ranma or Kenshin... - the Senshi sent to the past is just a spirit that Ranma can interact with (a la Sam and Al/Quantum Leap) ? or the Senshi is sent physically - the Senshi sent will need to find Ranma - Once Ranma returns, the Senshi need to awaken his Silver Millennium powers and memories... - The Senshi need to train Ranma in his new powers... In this Universe, "Queen" Serenity ruled in the name of Emperor of Light, or such... the Senshi were this Emperor's "handmaidens"... A scene in my head is that QS is holding court with nobles and commoners alike in the crowd and applicants. All of a sudden, a man wearing light and shadow walks into the throne room as if he owns it. None even think of interferring with him. The moment the man sept into the room, QS's golden crescent moon starts to glow as does Luna's... QS upon seeing the man looks like a child with her hand in the cookie jar after being repeated told that she can't have a cookie until after supper... The man stands impatiently in front of QS... the man simply says, "It's time" to which QS replies submissively, "Yes, Master"... QS then removes all her clothes and attaches a crystal collar around her neck, places a black leather leash to the collar, and ritually hands the leash handle to the man. The man then leads QS out of the throne room via a solid wall... The crowd is stunned by these "events"... Everyone had thought that the phrase/title "Master of the Moon" was a myth or meant "never" like "when hell freezes over"... but they just saw that's its real... The golden crescent moon isn't a symbol of royalty, it's a mark of slavery... hence why both Luna and Artemis has it too... A scene in my head for "modern times"... It's early morning at the Outers' apartment. Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru power-up and rush to Setsuna's bedroom after hearing Setsuna scream. There, they see Setsuna tangled up in a black silk blanet. They see that Setsuna isn't trying free herself, instead she's clinging to the blanket, as if trying to hold on to it. Setsuna is talking in her sleep, saying that she does not wish to be alone. Hotaru points out that the black silk blanket isn't a part of Setsuna's normal bedroom stuff. Setsuna's bedroom sheets and blankets are rosy pink in color and satin.. only Setsuna's underwear is silk... Haruka moves to wake Setsuna up, only for Setsuna to bolt out of bed away from her. The "black silk blanket" remains clung to Setsuna's nude body and it seems to mold itself into a tube-top and french-cut panties. Seeing the others' worried looks, Setsuna asks if they remember the "Lord of Light and Shadows" or the Twilight Knight, seeing to response, Setsuna asks Hotaru if she remembers the "Master of Silence", Haruka if she remembers the "Master of Wind", and Michiru if she remembers the "Master of Oceans"... Haruka and Michiru can't. Hotaru only remembers that all three titles refer to the same person and the titles refer, in some way, to the Senshi themselves... (Hotaru is the "Senshi of Silence" and liken to Silence, Haruka is the "Senshi of Wind" and liken to the Wind, and Michiru is the "Senshi of Oceans", and liken to the Ocean. In other words, Setsuna was asking them if they remembered their Master.) When Setsuna asks if they remember the "Master of the Moon", their faces flush and they think that's a "nickname" for the QS's husband. Michiru is busy with something when she notices what looks like Haruka is in her Sailor Uranus form. She stops what she's doing and investigates. It turns out that the actual case is that Haruka is actually wearing a dress similar to her senshi uniform. Not only that but Haruka is wearing high-heels, a padded, push-up bra, earrings, and a touch of make-up. Michiru is, of course, very surprise to see her very-tomboy lover dressed up as a very beautiful young woman, something that Haruka hides/hates. Michiru and Haruka get into an agrument during which Haruka has been seeing a guy behind Michiru back and she can't help herself. It's like the guy has some kind of control over her. She had hoped that by being obvious that Michiru might help her free her from her enthrallment... While Michiru and Haruka are agruing, Horuta enters the room unnoticed until Haruka begs Michiru help free Haruka from her enthrallment... to which Horuta laughes. Hotaru explains that yes Haruka is enthralled, but that the guy isn't evil. In fact, it's this guy and his power over Senshis that prevents the Senshi from becoming evil. Hotaru tells Haruka that she should just enjoy the time she'll have with the guy since pretty soon the other Senshi will learn of him and then she'll have to share with all the Senshi... Hotaru jokes that if Haruka doesn't enjoy herself, she'll accerelate her growth past pubetity so she could enjoy him too...
