A really, really long Author's Note combined with the Summery. Yes it's all in one this time: You know, I've read a lot of the Ranma as a Sailor Senshi, otherwise know as a Fuku Fic, type stories. Really. I truly have. I just absolutely love them. And that does say something about me, doesn't it? What it does say, I'll that leave up to you to decide.

Thus I've seen Ranma become a lot of different Senshi. Both Senshi invented by that particular fic's author as well the different cannon Senshi themselves. With, by my own personal and obsessive count, Sailor Sun/Sol and Sailor Pluto being the top choices on those two different lists, respectively,. But there is a cannon Senshi, if you can really truly call her that, that no one, and I do, I really and truly do mean no one, AND THAT IS BECAUSE I'VE LOOKED DAMN HARD FOR SOME AFTER I THOUGHT OF THIS PARTICULAR SENSHI, has had the idea to turn Ranma into. Or if they did have the idea, they thought WAY, WAY, WAY better of it.

And in actuality, that's really very smart of them. And while that may be true, I've never claimed to be very smart. Just a truly insane genius. Ha!

And it's too bad this Senshi, to my knowledge at least, was never chosen as Ranma's Senshi avatar. That's because it really and truely does fit Ranma to a perfect tee. What is this mysterious Senshi you may ask? Well it's…, wait for it…, Sailor Chaos.

Yes that's right. You did not read that wrong. You have read what I wrote correctly. I'm making Ranma into Sailor Chaos.

Yes I am insane, thank you very much for asking. And most definitely certifiably so at that. And, to answer your next obvious question, yes I am currently on my medicine. So this horribly twisted and just plain wrong idea came to me while I was completely and utterly lucid. Unlike one of my other fics I currently have in the works fic staring everyone's favorite aquatranssexual. That one was thought up while I was burning up with a hundred a three degree temperature. It may actually even be posted at some point and time as well. That's if I can ever get it to work out though. It's an extremely complicated story.

Any hoo, back to telling you about this fic. In which Ranma is going to be Sailor Chaos. Or it least sharing a body with her, thus getting the benefits, as well as the total, utter and absolute pain in the ass disadvantages, of her powers.

If you are not familiar with this Senshi, then you have obviously never read the last Sailor Moon manga. For two very different Senshi, Sailor Chaos and Sailor Cosmos, were in it, and were only in it, and only at the very end as well. Like in the last ten or twenty pages or so. Really. I am not kidding. They really do have that little story time.

That's one reason I earlier asked if you can consider Sailor Chaos to even be a cannon Senshi. The other reason being she was the final and true bad gal, and the one behind every single one of the good Senshi foes for good measure as well.

Well to spoil Sailor Chaos's story for you, which I sadly truly have to do for all those of you who don't know it and don't own the manga so you can't run and read it real quick, so you can be completely able to understand and enjoy this fic to the utmost of both of our combined abilities, he, or is it she? Because the manga never really was truly clear on that. It, in actually, contradicted its self multiple times. And that was all in the space of under twenty pages at that! So some fans think Sailor Chaos was a male Senshi. And the others are under the belief that Chaos had to have been a female Senshi. And personally, I'm part of the second group.

Well hey, if you sit down to think about it, other then the Starlight's, all of the other Senshi, both the good and the evil versions of them, were female. And the Starlight's were females in their Senshi forms to boot! Besides, this is my fan fic, so I get to say Chaos is a female. Nah!

Well any way's, Sailor Chaos was possessing Sailor Galaxia. Yup that's right. In the manga Sailor Galaxia was not in control of any of her actions for the whole damn thing up until the very, very end. Well Sailor Chaos was banished from Galaxia by Sailor Moon. And Moon didn't finish her off. That's in cannon by the way. I didn't make that up. She had the choice of killing the Senshi of Chaos, but she had chose not to, because, well to put it bluntly she'd pretty much have herself become a Goddess while at the same time be killing off all the other Senshi in the process of doing so. That was not on her to do list. Ever. Thus Chaos escaped to be able to raise future havoc.

This fic deals with what happens to Sailor Chaos afterwards. And I bet you can guess some of it. Yes, Sailor Chaos goes back in time, and then she finds a suitable host body for herself, that host body being Ranma Saotome of course. Really, what else could happen in a fic like this? She then decides to wait until a few months after Moon beats both Galaxia and herself to take over the host body and then strike back at The Sailor Senshi and Moon in particular.

Of course, by that point in time, Ranma's way to strong to be controlled mentally by Sailor Chaos. Hell it had taken Sailor Chaos thousands upon thousands and then some of years to get complete control over Sailor Galaxia's mind, body and actions. And, to borrow and then heavily modify a favorite phrase from my best friend, Ranma's stubbornness rating beats Galaxia's stubbornness rating six ways to Sunday, with out even trying to, or even noticing the fact that it did so for that matter.

Now on to the different time lines here. This story starts off at the end of the Sailor Moon Manga, which by the way is also when I'm having the Ranma Manga end. Ok, it then goes from there to way, way back to before the start of the Ranma Manga. Which also means it also goes back to way, way before the start of the Sailor Moon Manga. But that part happens so briefly and quickly, that if you even blink, you'll miss it. I'm really not kidding about that. That part will probably equal less then a whole page in total. It then goes from that very brief diversion to about six month's past the end of the Ranma Manga. Which means it's also about six months after The Sailor Moon Manga's ending. And that's going to be when the fic truly starts as well. If you're wondering why both the Ranma and the Sailor Moon Manga stories are ending so close together, it's because I'm having them end at almost, if not at, the exact same time to make thing easier to follow in a time continuity. That is for, both you my dear and loyal readers, as well as my self, in all true honesty. Hey, I get confused easily enough as it is. No need to make things any more complicated then they truly need to be, now is there? I thought not.

And lastly, this will be both a Ranma Hotaru pairing with Ranma going to be stuck as a female for almost the entire fic. I think the less then two pages in the past will be the only appearance of Ranma's male form.

If you truly can't stand the thought of that, then please leave now. As I have warned you, I thus do not wish for any grief on that particular subject to come my way. Any other grief you have with this piece of work I'll happily accept. Ok, so not really that happily, but I will accept it none the less.

THE SENSHI OF CHAOS RETURNS

CHAPTER ONE

CHAOS STRIKES BACK!!!

(Or at least she tries to.)

(In truth she's really not that successful.)

(Poor, unfortunate Chaos, nothing ever truly goes her way.)

The Galactic Forge: about six months ago

Sailor Chaos was in complete and utter shock. She had lost! Completely and totally lost! And it had been a loss to that utterly incompetent weakling Sailor Moon! How!?! How could she possibly have ever lost to that, compared to her at least, utter weakling and true fool!?! For she was the great and powerful Senshi of Chaos! She was the produced from the very last Star Seed to ever leave the Galactic Forge! Her Star Seed was not a pitiful moon, or even a mere planet, like the rest of those pitiful other Senshi were limited to. No, her Star Seed was a great and powerful star! And now a star powered Senshi lost to a Senshi powered by a smallish, medium sized, moon! How could this be!?! For she was, with out any question at all, the most powerful being to ever exist in this, or possibly any other reality! And what had happened? At the very last possible moment, when utter victory was surly utterly hers and hers alone. That sniveling, cowardly, weakling that dares to call it's self a Senshi, Sailor Moon, utterly annihilates her moment of victory by banishing her from Galaxia!

And now, now the Guardian of the Forge herself was offering Sailor Moon the power that should have rightfully been hers and hers alone! That of Goddesshood! Her Goddesshood! And she was offering it only to 'Erase the taint that is Sailor Chaos'! She is not a taint! She is power! She is truth! She is the future! She will rule all!!!

Sailor Chaos was, needless to say, beyond furious, and was even to the point of being even beyond the point of being utterly pissed off. There truly are no words to describe her level of anger at this point and time. It was a record level of anger that will hold for infinite time.

Then all that anger and rage utterly vanished and in its place came the feeling of being completely and utterly shocked yet again. And this time she was even more shocked then her previous level of being shocked. And again, Sailor Chaos held a new record, and again one that will hold for infinite time.

What had shocked her was the fact that that wimp Sailor Moon… she, and Sailor Chaos was having trouble processing this fact, for her mind could not accept the reality of it, to compare it to a computer, she had to reboot her mind fifty seven times trying to process the information.

Then, on the fifty eighth time of trying to process this, to her at least, unprocessable information, her brain finally aloud the information to be set into her brain and be then recognized by it.

What was the completely unfathomable information? Sailor Moon had refused the offer! She didn't want to become a Goddess! And why? Why? It was just because those other pitiful Senshi, one's who were even weaker then even Moon was, it was just because they would be snuffed out of existence entirely, not even to be aloud to reincarnate anymore!?! That was the reason? That's why She wanted to be a mortal, well, in actuality it was an immortal, but that's neither here nor there, and that was just to be with those utter weaklings!?!

As a computer would say 'The information does not compute.' At least not to Sailor Chaos that is.

This was enough to get her ire rising yet again. And very, no make that extremely, no better yet make that utterly, ridiculously and ludicrously, fast at that.

She had quickly, with in microseconds, well actually it was even less then a single microsecond. It was so quick that there is not a time unit in all of creation that could be used to measure it. Yes it had happened that quickly. In that minute amount of time, she easily and utterly shattered the previous record for the level of the level of pissed offness held by any one being at any one time.

And that previous one was made by her, and not less then a few moments ago at that, if you care to recall.

Ha! So much for it being a record that will hold for infinite time. Well this one should hold for the infinite time period. Yep, definitely. Well probably. Ok, Maybe. All right, all right, with it being Chaos we're dealing with here, she'll break her old record again at some point and time, happy now?

After Moon had left the Galactic Forge, and after the Guardian of the Forge had returned to her slumber, Sailor Chaos came out of her hiding place.

As her insubstantial form was floating through the Galactic Forge, the Senshi of Chaos tried to find the power that would let herself ascend into Goddesshood she so desired so she could rule the entire universe! And then she'd have the power to go beyond this one mere reality, and start her conquest of the utter domination of all the realities everywhere!

But, alas, as she had suspected, with out the proper Senshi's Star Seeds, one's that she no longer had, and with one of them being one she never had, for it was Sailor Moon's Star Seed, she was, to put it bluntly, shit out of luck.

Sailor Chaos then fumed for a long, long, long while at the complete and utter unfairness of the situation she had now found herself in.

After her long bout with self pity, Sailor Chaos hatched upon a plan. She would use the Galactic Forge's almost infinite power to amplify her own considerable power and travel back in time! She would then find another host body and wait till after this despicable moment had happened to strike back at Sailor Moon and the rest of those pathetic Senshi!

Why wait at all? Why not just strike in the past when they would be unprepared and weaker as well? For two reasons. Reason one being the lesser one, and that's not just because Sailor Chaos had any trouble excepting the fact. Nope that's not the reason it's the lesser one at all. She would need time to recover her power from sending her self back in time. Even with the boost of the Galactic Forge, it would be very draining on her.

In fact, to be able to move anything through time by yourself with out the focus of and object specifically designed for the purpose of doing so, like say the Gates of Time, was a fact to take pride in. It had only been done previously once before, the feat of sending something through time on the persons own power, with out any focus designed for the fact, and doing so had killed the person doing it.

Well she wouldn't die like Serenity did, so hers would be the first truly successful case of doing this. So there was no shame in admitting she wouldn't be at peak power few a few years or so. Nope, no shame at all.

It was the second reason that was making her wait. And that reason was the fact that if she striked at the moment she reached her full power, which would be long before she had lost to Sailor Moon by her estimation, she would be initiating a time paradox. Not something to do if you can avoid it.

The paradox being, that if she killed Sailor Moon before she lost to her, she would then be removing the very reason she needed to go back in time from ever happening in the first place. That could very well lead to herself, well this current incarnation of herself, ceasing to exist. She would not chance that happening, no way, no how.

Besides, even if after she killed Sailor Moon, and got her very valuable Star Seed as well, she would then have herself, well the incarnation of her self that was possessing Sailor Galaxia that is, to deal with. Even she was not eager to face her past self. But then who really does want to face themselves in battle if they truly can avoid it? No one, that's who.

So the logical, non time paradoxing thing to do was to wait till after the Sailor Moon had defeated her to start her comeback on the road to power. As much as it galled her to do so, she knew she had to wait.

Thus, she gathered all the power she could from the Galactic Forge and combined it with her own considerably vast powers. Using the truly insane amount of power now available to her, she punched a hole right through time itself, and through herself through it before it had a chance to repair itself.

As she cleared her consciousness from the slight fog it was in, she attuned herself to where she had found herself, that being floating about one hundred and fifty miles above the city of Tokyo, and about seventeen years in the past.

'Damn.' Sailor Chaos thought when she realized the current time. 'I was aiming for at least twenty years. Well no use crying over spilt milk as they say here. Time to find a good host body. Preferably a young one, so it will be in prime shape when it's time to face the Senshi. They can't all be immortal like the Senshi are.'

Turning her mind inward, Sailor Chaos searched for a suitable body to host her and her power.

She immediately got something. It was drawing her to it like a moth going after a flame.

In a nice house on in the outer reaches of the Nerima district, and about five blocks from the Jubban district boarder in fact, she found a five day old male baby in its crib. Just looking at it, she could not only see that this child had the potential to some day be stronger then even one of those Senshi that would come to live in Jubban, but this child had a very strong affinity for the powers of Chaos. It wasn't near her level of course, but then she had been created out of Chaos. In fact she was Chaos in a way. This child was probably the only being born in this universe that was not specifically born to hold the powers that is Chaos itself, that could come anywhere even close to her synchrony level with the force that is Chaos.

In other words, she would never find a better host body even if she looked for all time, from the beginning of creation on. Cackling with delight, she exclaimed "This boy is perfect for my needs! Better then Galaxia could ever have been! Child you are mine!"

And then, after that proclamation, Sailor Chaos began the quick possess of bonding with the young child. The true possession of the child's mind, thus his body and all his actions could come later, after she had a nice nap. Tearing a hole through the fabric of time itself and bonding herself with another being, even one as close to her in Chaotic alignment as possible, had utterly drained her. She needed her rest damn it!

And thus, Sailor Chaos went to sleep in the child's whose name was Ranma Saotome soul, after doing one last thing with the last of her power, that being starting the long and difficult process of converting a mortal and male body to be able to full access and channel her vast powers.

After that, Sailor Chaos was out like a light, content in the knowledge that her host would be ready to wield her powers with ease, when she took over his feeble mind.

Well she was half right. Give her credit, she may be powerful, but she's not omnipotent with the ability to see the future. If she was she would never have lost in the first place. Thus she could not foresee the trouble she would have trying to possess her chosen host body. Really though, you would think she would have learned after it had taken her a few hundred millennia to totally possess Sailor Galaxia, that taking over someone's mind is not one of the thing she can do quickly or easily. Ah, the power of utter arrogance. Ain't it grand?

So Sailor Chaos slept peacefully, dreaming of her guaranteed future utter and complete domination over all realities everywhere, blissfully happy, and not at all prepared for the truth she would face upon her awakening.

Poor, unfortunate Sailor Chaos, nothing ever truly goes her way. Not that that's a bad thing for the sake of all realities everywhere mind you. It's actually a very good thing in all honest truth.

And the child, one Ranma Saotome, slept on as well, having slept right through the Senshi of Chaos irreversibly binding her self to his life-force, until one or the other of them dies, and completely unaware of what Chaos that will add to his already utterly ridiculous Chaotic life fate had in store for him. Ah the power of ignorance. Ain't it grand?

So we now leave these two to their slumber. One of course, will be waking way before the other.

The present: at the preferred Senshi emergency meeting location, Rei's shrine:

at about seven in the morning

Usagi yawned while helping her self to yet another doughnut that had been brought by the instigator of this un-holy and just plain wrong early morning emergency Senshi meeting.

'Sure,' Usagi thought in her half awake state 'anything requiring the all the Senshi's attention was important and should be acted upon immediately, but Setsuna was the Senshi of Pluto, with control over time it's self! And while that vast power should never be misused, nope never, not at all, not even once for the best of reasons, it surly wouldn't be a misuse of her vast power over time to set it up so the emergency meeting didn't need to take place until after noon happened, right? I need, I mean we need, yeah, I really did mean we, we all need our sleep, right? Nothing could be so important that it gets me, argh, I mean us, out of our nice warm, fluffy beds with our nice soft, cushioned pillows and our supremely comfortable and secure blankets and comforters, right? Nothing could be that important, now could it? No of course not.'

After thinking this with her less then one eighth awake mind, while eating her beyond thirtieth doughnut, Usagi decided to ask in a slow, bleary voice that obviously showed she was nowhere near her top mental operating potential due to her lack of enough sleep, "Hey, Setsuna? You going to tell us what you woke us up for now or what?"

"Patience Princess. We need to wait for the others to arrive." Setsuna replied calmly while sipping her tea. The others she was referring to were the rest of the Outer Senshi, Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru.

And then, as if just mentioning the fact that they were absent was enough of a prompt to do so, they appeared.

Wait a second. On a second look, only two of them ran through the door in an uncharacteristic hurry. It seems Hotaru wasn't with them.

"Setsuna!" Haruka yelled at the top of her lungs "I don't care what prompted this meeting, we have an emergency here! Hotaru ran away from home last night!" she yelled in a voice that only a frantic parent can ever hope to achieve.

"What! Why?" Came from various voices around the room as Setsuna went still in shock at hearing that very disturbing news.

"It seems that Hotaru is beginning to remember her last past life very clearly" Michiru began, much calmer then her partner Haruka had been. "She has been having trouble over last few days with the memories of what she had done and what had been done to her as well. And then last night, she," Michiru began tearing up at this "she remembered what Haruka and myself did to her. She screamed at us how could her killers ever love her, and why we were even pretending to do so? She asked us if we were getting some sick pleasure from pretending to love her as we watched her to see if she would ever be a threat again so we could, could." She was choking on saying the next few words "could gleefully kill her!" She finished saying as the tears were now freely flowing down Michiru's face. As Haruka took Michiru into her arms to comfort her, Michiru continued her tale with "And then she stormed out of the house, and she never returned!"

As the other girls stayed silent at hearing the terrible news, Setsuna shook herself. Then she said "As terrible as that news is, and don't worry you two, I will find her and set her strait, believe me I will, we have more pressing things to worry about right now."

"What could possibly be more important then this!?!" Haruka yelled at Setsuna in her grief and anger.

Setting down the cup of tea that she just now noticed was still in her hands, Setsuna sighed and said "I found out where Sailor Chaos disappeared to after Usagi beat her."

That got everyone's complete and immediate attention. With all eyes on her, Setsuna began to tell them just what their true enemy Sailor Chaos had been up to.

"I don't know how I missed this. Really, I don't. it's inconceivable to me that I could have missed this." Setsuna started telling them by berating herself. "After Usagi had cast Sailor Chaos out of Sailor Galaxia's body, and then after she refused to utterly destroy Sailor Chaos because it would wipe every other Senshi other then herself from existence, and for that I thank you Usagi, some prices are just to high to pay, Sailor Chaos gathered power from the Galactic Forge while it's Guardian was asleep again, and used that power to send herself back in time."

Taking a quick sip of tea, Setsuna then continued. "After she did that, Sailor Chaos went in search of another body to host her. And I shutter at the thought of the one she found. She bonded with a person named Ranma Saotome. This person has the highest affinity for Chaotic powers ever before seen in a mortal being. The perfect host for the Senshi of Chaos. And Ranma's power level alone, with out the benefit of Sailor Chaos's powers is, impressive, to say the least. Ranma has just recently killed a true immortal and extremely powerful being claiming Godhood, and in truth, while I severely doubt its claim of being a Deity, the being was extremely powerful."

Rei then interrupted with "Um, how if the being was a true immortal, could this Ranma person kill it?"

"Good question Rei." Setsuna said nodding. "In truth it's an impossibility to kill a true immortal. Yet Ranma did so. The universe then immediately had to correct this over site, causing, using a computer term, a very localized re-boot of reality. What it did was it reinserted the being Ranma had fought, which was named Saffron, back it to reality, but as a new born infant for some reason I don't understand. Maybe it didn't want to chance have to reset reality again almost immediately. I really don't pretend to understand how the universe it's self thinks."

"That small and localized resetting of reality caused me to notice this Ranma person for the first time due to the trouble the act caused the Gates of Time. It took days to get it working properly again. After finding out what caused the Gate's massive system failure, and then deciding that Ranma could be a huge help, or a very nasty enemy in the future, I took a detailed look at Ranma's past. I'm truly surprised this Ranma has stayed anywhere near the commonly acceptable by society levels of sanity. Ranma's life is truly a study in utter insanity. It must be the Chaotic powers of Sailor Chaos boosting Ranma's already insanely high penchant for Chaos and attracting said Chaos that has made Ranma's life like this." Setsuna said with a far off contemplative look.

Shaking her self from her inner thoughts, Setsuna continued again. "Well after I had watched all of Ranma's past, I then put a priority Omega level watch on Ranma through the Gates of Time, to be prepared if Ranma ever gave in to the insanity that seems to surround Ranma by Ranma going insane. That act in turn led me to find out what Sailor Chaos has been up to. She has been inside this Ranma, asleep for almost Ranma's entire life. And she just woke up last night. I do not know if Sailor Chaos has yet to take over this Ranma's mind, but we must assume the worst case sanirio."

Pointing to a pile of folders, Setsuna told the gathered Senshi. "I have prepared a detailed dossier on this Ranma Saotome, one for each of you, but all you truly need to know right now is the fact that in a combat situation, Ranma is a match for any two of us at the same time. And that's without the powers of Sailor Chaos. It would take the three most powerful of us to gain the advantage in a combat with Ranma, with us needing at minimum four of us to soundly defeat Ranma. Again that's with out Ranma accessing Sailor Chaos's power. If Ranma truly is now possessed by Sailor Chaos as I fear Ranma is, then we all would be needed to fight together to beat Sailor Chaos in her new host body. She truly has found the perfect host for herself and her plans. Thus it's a shame that Hotaru is not here to help, her power would be very useful, but we need to assess the situations standing immediately."

Nodding at the wisdom of her words, all the Senshi present immediately grabbed a copy of Ranma Saotome's file and started to devour the information held within at a furious pace. If all was not well as they feared, then time was truly not on their side at this time.

Ending Author's Note: So is Ranma currently possessed by the Senshi of Chaos? I think I gave enough obvious clues to help you know the answer to that one. But what has happened to Hotaru? Think about it. You should be able to form a rough guess. What will happen when the Senshi find Ranma? Now that one will probably surprise you.

On another note, I find that this story is becoming a lot more, humorous, I guess you could say, then I originally intended it to be. But that's ok, because I think it works out well like that.

So check back on the next installment of the story to see the answers to the above questions and more! Hopefully it will be up in a few days or so. I'll see you then, so bye for now my dear readers!
