Happosai created the Musabetsu Kakuto Ryuu (Indiscrimination Grappling Style) from a weaken form of the Hokuto Ryuu Ken.

Two Months Ago Clay soldiers from the opposing Alien Intelligence Army appear in Juuban and Nerima seeking revenge on Usagi and Ranma. Since the soldiers are made out of clay/earth: - Mercury's ice/cold powers can make the clay soldiers brittle, vurnable to physical attacks. - Venus's light powers are too focus for lasting damage. - Mar's fire power are uselss, dirt doesn't burn. - Jupiter's power of lightning has no effect on them. - Saturn's Silence Wall can contain them. - Uranus's Space Sword Blaster does cut the soldiers but she needs Mercury to freeze them in place for her to be handle to handle more than one opponent - Neptune's water powers just makes the clay soldiers into faster-moving mud soldiers. - Pluto's temporal powers are useless against clay/earth, it doesn't age fast enough. Sailor Pluto has been frantically searching for Usagi for the last five months. Its seems to Sailor Pluto as if Usagi has been completely removed from the Timeline. Although, there are signs that Usagi has been moving throughout the Time Stream. Present The War of Alien Intelligences - has lasted 70,000+ years. - was fought over incompernesible matter - Ranma was the driving force behind the Ending of the War. - was fought throughtout the Timelines in Multi-Dimensions. During the War, Ranma and Usagi have seen Crystal Tokyo first-hand and don't like it. Ranma has taken many of the survivors of the War back with him to his world. A third of the survivors are non-human, elves, dragons, avianiods (bird-people), feliniods (cat-people), etc... Of the humans, a third of them were simply victims of the War, caught between the two Armies. These survivors will rebuild a new Musk Dyntasty that headed by Herb and Ranma. The Amazons number around 200. Those of Mount Phoenix number around 150. The "new" Musk number 4,000. All the characters are returned to their world where only seven months have passed, while for them, they have been fighting for seventy thousand plus years. The returning characters must deal with post-war conditions... Everyone must deal with the "new" Ranma, part Kenshiro, part Kenshin, part canon-Ranma... The Senshi must deal with the "new" Usagi, whose part Lina, part Kenshin... Cologne and the fiancee bridage must deal with the "new" Ranma, one who give orders not take them. Plus has the backing of the new, improved Musk Dytansty and Mount Phoenix... Scene, intro "new" Usagi: The Senshi are being overwelmed by the clay soldiers, they are outnumbered by 11 to 1 ratio. Usagi "enters" via a "Moon Reflection Supreme Thunder Crash" which created a vast sonic boom. Those clay soldiers away from the Senshi get a "Moon Reflection Ice Needle Storm", a storm of needles made of ice that literally tears through the clay soldiers. For close-quarter fighting, Usagi uses a crystal sword in the Hiten Mitsurugi style. Single-handedly, Usagi deals with all 87 clay soldiers in 8 seconds. One Clay Soldier is vaporized by Naru. At the temple: Usagi explains what happened, and gives highlights... - She explains that the clay soldiers are from the Enemy, in part for revenge and in part because they have nothing to do. - she explains that Naru has been at her side for all those 70,000+ years, that Naru knows all about the Senshi, and that Naru can match Sailor Saturn for raw power. - Usagi mentions Ranma as her leader, to which Haruka remarks what about she's heard of him... Usagi and Naru are in Haruka's face immediately, explaining that she doesn't know Ranma like they do and that they will not hear any bad-talk about their Lord and Master in their presence. - The Senshi are both awed and scared of this new Usagi an surprised at Naru. Minako asks just how close to Ranma are Usagi and Naru? Both Usagi and Naru state its mostly friendship with sex thrown in. - Ami voices hers and others concern about Crystal Tokyo to which Usagi answers while looking directly at Setsuna, there will be no interferring with the timeline. If Crystal Tokyo happens, it happens. But from Usagi's tone of voice, it will happen only over Usagi's dead body. Scene, show "new" Usagi casting a 'Dragon Slave' Usagi casts a 'Dragon Slave'... that's red and silver. Pluto is shell-shocked, open/wild eye, and falls to her knees as her entire universe comes crashing down. Sailor Moon's powers are suppose to come from Purity, but the Dragon Slave's power comes Mazoku/Black magic. Pluto can detect traces of darkness within Usagi, thus Sailor Moon's "purity" is weakness. Which isn't true. This is misconception on the Silver Millennium's part that Purity means no darkness==evil. Scene, show "new" Usagi to Parents - Usagi tells her parents about the Silver Millennium, her role in the Sailor Senshi, what was Crystal Tokyo, and her involved in the Alien Intelligence War. - Usagi explains that her mestrual cycle has been extended... A normal female's mestrual cycle is once a month, a Senshi's is once a year, hers and Naru's mestrual cycle is once every five millennium, give or take a few centuries... And their last cycle was a decade ago. Thus, even if she wishs to have Endymion's child(ren), by the time she could, Endymion would be too old. - Usagi's mother is the reborn Queen Serenity of the Moon. Her father is the reborn QS's husband, who was a Space Pirate. Shingo is a new soul. - Usagi and Naru have been travelling up and down the Timeline, so they have meet some of their ancestors and the parents when they were teenagers. Scene, intro "new" Ranma Akane is, once again, kidnapped. Her kidnapper seems to know Ranma and thinks he'll show up soon. In the meantime, Ryouga has been attempting to rescue her, but fails to be able to deal with more than eight clay soldiers. Two weeks after Akane's kidnapping, Ranma returns to Nerima via China/Musk. Everyone is suprised to see the "new" calm/cool/collected Ranma. Everyone can tell that he's vastly more powerful now and that he's very mature. When told that Akane has been kidnapped, he sighs. Before Ranma can go get Akane back, a teenager around Ranma's calendar age shows up demanding to challenge him. He turns the challenger down much to the shock/condensation of the others, to which he doesn't care. The teen is presistate. Ranma stares the teen down and forces the teen to run away, with his pants wet. Genma, of course, is upset that him turned down a challenger. Ranma replies the kid was several thousands years too early to truly challenge him. Genma attacks Ranma, and Ranma successfully defeads himself with nothing but his battle aura (a la Cell/DBZ). Ranma knows who Akane's kidnapper is. He's a traitor to Ranma's Army that sold them out for money, causing the death of billions of civilians and a battlion of Ranma's soldiers. With a single touch or look from Ranma, the clay soldiers explode into dust. Ranma using the Nanto to dice the traitor up into little pieces. Akane and Ryouga are taken aback at Ranma's "brutality". Ranma sighs and says that Akane and Ryouga are either brother and sister or married/made for each other. The fathers aren't happy at this. Ranma doesn't care about it nor family quote honor unquote, he has worlds to save and empires to run and walks out. Ranma also has to find people to take up the Nanto and Gento styles.
