DISCLAIMER: DON'T OWN RANMA OR SAILOR MOON,
NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL :(

START AN Sorry for the long delay. I've been busy dealing with things after graduation and I also have been busy writing plans on another story of my own personal making. I will update this story about once or twice a week at the most. I will inform you, the readers if anything is due to change.

In this story, the inner scouts will be in their second year of High School, as will Ranma.

Their age is 17 years of age.

Hotaru will be 15 in this story and is still in Jr. High.

The outers will be about 19 years of age and Setsuna looks about 23 years of age.

There will also be no chibi-usa in this story so sorry to all chibi-usa fans.

I've also altered the appearance of Lunar so he will look a little different.

Pairings are unknown at the moment, please vote for the pairings and I don't mind if Ranma ends up with two or more if that's what the readers want. END AN

Lunar

Ranma Saotome was lying down on top of the roof of the Tendo Household. It's been approximately 5 weeks since the failed wedding and each week after the wedding became worse for Ranma. After the wedding, all of the girls in the fiancé brigade thought to give Ranma a little bit of space and some time to cool off. This didn't last for long however and things got worse from there. Ranma was currently on the roof of the Tendo Household because he figured that none of his rivals and fiancés would find him there because he decided to head out and he returned using the Umisenken technique and stealthily returned to the rooftop when he thought that no one was following him.

Ever since Ranma defeated the demi-god Saffron, Ranma was starting to feel like something was missing from his life. Last night, he had a strange dream about fighting with someone else in a place that was filled with chaos and destruction. In his dream, there was also someone who was fighting with him to help defeat their foe.

(Dream Sequence)

Ranma was fighting against a woman that was clad in black. She was wearing a simple kimono and was wielding a couple of swords. Her face was hidden from Ranma's view when he tried to remember who she was. The person who was helping Ranma fight was wearing a black uniform and was wielding a couple of swords that were called kodachis. The fight lasted for quite a while and in the end, the three figures had a final showdown.

"Chaos Destroyer" the female fighter yelled. The blast was a powerful energy beam and it was heading towards Ranma and the other fighter.

Ranma and the other fighter both fired off an attack of their own.

"Lunar Revolution" the two yelled together. Their energy attack combined together and was heading towards the Chaos Destroyer. A bright light then engulfed the fighting field and all Ranma could remember after that was the words of a woman, "May god have mercy on your souls."

(End Dream Sequence)

Ranma lied on the rooftop and noticed that the time was close to dinner. Ranma got off the rooftop and entered the Tendo Household. Ranma entered the dining area and saw that everyone was there waiting for him.

"So Saotome, where have you been?" Nabiki asked.

Ranma was about to reply when out of nowhere, Akane summons her mallet and gave Ranma a one way trip out of the household via Air Akane.

Everyone in the room looked at the scene with indifference and when Kasumi saw that Ranma was hit quite far, she decided to pass out dinner and make sure that Ranma had some left when he returns home.

Ranma sighed when he was mallet out and started thinking. 'Why does she always hit me before I get a chance to speak? Idiot tomboy, she honest needs to learn how to control her temper.'

Ranma soon landed on the ground of a construction zone. Ranma saw that he was still in Nerima and decided to head back to the Tendo's.

On top of the construction zone, a figure wearing a black cloak grinned. "So, I finally found you Ranma, you better be prepared. You destiny will soon come and you need to be prepared for it when it comes." The figure then vanished from view after he spoke.

Ranma walking out of construction zone thought that he felt a powerful presence and looked to where he thought the source was at. He saw that there was no one there and he thought that it was his mind playing tricks on him due to hunger.

The next morning, Ranma woke up with a splash of water. Ranma saw that it was Akane that woke him up and that she smiled when Ranma shifted forms with the incredibly cold water she used on him.

Ranma, now in female form, looked at Akane and said, "What did you do that for?"

"Hurry up and get dressed or else we'll be late for school." Akane replied.

Ranma grumbled incoherently and said, "You do know that it's Sunday right?"

Akane looked at Ranma for a brief moment and malleted Ranma out of the household again. She then left the room to look for Nabiki because Nabiki told her that this was another school day and that they were going to be late.

Ranma made a quick stop at Ukyo's and got herself an okonomiyaki for breakfast and went back towards the Tendo's. On the way back, Ranma started to worry a little. Ukyo was completely nice and didn't make any type of advancement towards Ranma at all. Walking back, Ranma noticed that the old lady that pours water into the sidewalk every morning wasn't there this morning. Ranma had a feeling that something big was going to happen real soon. When Ranma made it all the way back to the Tendo's, Ranma saw that Akane made her breakfast. On the plate, it looked like black ooze that's moving just a little bit.

"You call that breakfast?" Ranma asked. "That looks like something that was taken out of one of those nuclear power plants or something."

Akane dropped her plate and saw that breakfast burnt through the floor like a hot knife through butter. Akane however didn't noticed and was about to send Ranma flying when a new voice interfered.

"Hello, is anybody there?" a voice yelled from outside the household.

Kasumi went to greet the visitor and a few moments later, Kasumi came back with someone mysterious. The mysterious person was wearing a black cloak that looked like it was shred to pieces. The person took off the cloak and the person was revealed to be a male with a very lean body and red hair to boot. The hair was about the exact same as Inuyasha's, an anime character that Ranma and Akane watched on television when there was nothing else to do. He had blue ice blue eyes and on his back was a strap carrying what looked like to be a katana. His face looked quite calm and over his right eye was a single scar that looked like it was caused by a sword. He also wore a pair of fingerless gloves and a pair of battle type boots.

He looked towards Ranma and asked, "Are you Ranma Saotome?"

"Yeah I'm him. So what about it?" Ranma asked in a annoyed tone, he was used to this by now because of the multiple challenges from his enemies and the numerous fiancés that keep bombarding him one after another.

"I expected you to be a male, not female. Doesn't matter to me though." The stranger said in a neutral tone. Ranma grabbed a kettle that was located at the table and poured it on himself.

Ranma immediately changed backing into his male form and looked straight at the stranger.

"Ah, I see. Josenkyo, spring of drowned girl. You must be one of the people infected with the curse.

"Yeah that's right. How'd you know anyway, have you been to Josenkyo?" Ranma asked.

"I never went there myself but I have heard of the stories associated with those springs of sorrow. Forget about that though. I'm here to challenge you to battle. I have heard that you have defeated the Musk Dynasty's Herb and Saffron of the Phoenix just a few weeks ago. This will be fun. If you win, I'll tell you a bit of your true family history and your own past."

Genma, whom was in the room eating a few bamboo, was sweating profusely. In a vain attempt, Genma unleashed the Yamasenken technique forgetting where he was at. The mysterious stranger summoned a shield made of ki and absorbed the vacuumed-based attack that Genma unleashed.

"The Yamasenken?" the figured asked, "So this is one of the two forbidden techniques of the Saotome School of Indiscriminate Grappling. Powerful, but useless against my shield."

Genma, regaining a little bit of courage, yelled to the person, "You will not tell this boy anything, not if I have anything to say about it."

The person soon vanished from view in an instant and reappeared an instant later. Everyone looked towards him and he looked towards Genma. Genma collapsed towards the ground. From the way he looked, it looked like he was hit hard in the gut.

Nabiki looked towards the person whom no one knows what his name is, and asked, "What do you mean by 'Ranma's true family history?'"

Everyone else in the room was curious at that question as well.

"I'll only tell Ranma and that's only if he can defeat me. Shall we head outside Ranma?" The Stranger said.

"Yeah sure, I could use a new punching bag, Ryoga's been missing for quite a while now and the rest of the people here are boring and weak. None of them even pose a challenge for me anymore." Ranma said in a confident voice.

The two went outside with everyone following at a fair distance. Genma was still out and was left sleeping inside.

"Ranma, now is the time to see if you're from that family. Show me your true strength, don't hold anything back. I want to see the power that defeated Herb of the Musk Dynasty and Saffron of the Phoenix Tribe."

Ranma smiled and made the first move.

"Eat this!" Ranma yelled. "Kashu Tenshin Amaguriken" Ranma sent hundreds of punches towards the person and was shocked when the person dodged through each attack flawlessly.

"Kashu Tenshin Amaguriken, an Amazon technique. You're quite good if you know that, but that won't even come close to defeating me. This better not be all that you can do, if it is, I don't see how Herb could have lost to such a fighter"

That last phrase made Ranma real angry and Ranma started to move a few feet back. "All right then, take this!" Ranma yelled.

"Mokou Takabisha" Ranma fired his signature ki blast towards his opponent. The blast made a direct hit to his opponent's face and he smiled. Smoke covered the other fighter's face because of the ki blast and when the smoke disburse, Ranma was shocked that there was no damaged done at all to his face.

"A ki blast, now I see how you are strong. Impressive, a martial artist that has the ability to manipulate ki at your age. To bad that was a ki attack based on emotion."

"Lunar Blast" The ki attack made its way towards Ranma at a fast speed and Ranma barely had time do dodge it.

Ranma looked at where the ki blast landed and was that there was a huge crater. Ranma then looked towards his opponent and yelled, "What do you think you are doing, that attack could have easily taken out an entire block."

"That attack is a pure ki based attack hence its power, but this attack is special. What it does is destroy anything that has evil in their heart. If this attack somehow hits a civilian, as long as that civilian has a good heart, the blast will negate itself and disburse. Enough talk, let's continue the fight." The fighter responded.

The fighter then teleported in front of Ranma and he started talking right in front of Ranma's face. "Ranma Saotome, I thought you were strong, is this all that you can do, I don't see you came even close to defeating Saffron. From what I can tell, you're all talk and no action."

After Ranma heard the part about Saffron, he started to go into deep thinking.

'What the heck is wrong with me, I feel so weak when I face him. He's stronger, faster, heck, a whole lot smarter than I will ever be. This guy is in a whole different league. I can't believe that there are people that are that strong. I should have been training for these past few weeks instead of living the peaceful life.' Ranma didn't realize that he said the last part out loud.

"You're correct; you should have been training for the past few weeks. But you thought that after defeating a demi-god, you automatically deem yourself the strongest fighter. Wake up, this is reality, and remember this, there will always be someone stronger then you, always, remember this lesson well." Ranma's opponent preached.

After hearing this, Ranma moved back, moving away from his opponent. He then moved into a stance that he certainly never learned but felt natural to him.

'What the heck's going on her, this stance is weird, but all of a sudden, it feels just right.' Ranma thought. Ranma then proceeded to attack his opponent at a higher fighting level that he certainly never had when he fought Saffron.

Ranma managed to connect a punch to his opponent's face and his opponent was sent flying backwards. Ranma sported a grin on his face and was ready to face his opponent again.

Ranma's opponent rose up and smiled.

"That's good. Let's stop the fight where it's at. I now believe you are capable of facing your destiny. By the way, the name's Lunar." Lunar said.

Ranma looked at Lunar like he had grown a second head or something. Lunar noticed that looked and decided to speak.

"You have won for I concede. I want to talk to you alone tonight. Here are the instructions." Lunar said.

A small card suddenly appeared in front of Ranma.

Lunar continued, "I suggest that you don't read it just yet. Read it when you are about to meet up with me, and make sure that you are alone, that woman over there," he points to Nabiki, "will probably try to get information out of you, I suggest that you stay away from her for the time being. I do hope that your personal attachment to this place is minimal. Sayonara." After he said the last part, Lunar instantly vanished.

Ranma was curious about what he meant by personal attachment, but decided to ponder on it later. For the time being, he had a certain panda to interrogate for making his life a living hell.

Pairing Results will be listed here in the next few chapters.
