Ranma as the King of Storms, scout of Nemesis is the idea of Gundraw. Read his story. It's very good

This whole story happens just after Nodoka comes to the Tendo household. This will not be Ra/Ak. Sorry to all you Ra/Ak fans but while they make the best couple out of all the potential fiancées, there are still a lot of kinks and problems with that relationship. It also will happen early on the SM series, like just after Mars shows up. This is rather a Sailor Moon version of how the asteroid belt was formed. There was a planet, yet Metallia destroyed it when the scout there would not let her invade the core, like she did on Nemesis, the scout teleporting away just in time, out for revenge. When Ranma was born, Nemesis was attacked, and the scout there had to get his son, who would turn into the new scout to the moon for training. Basically Nemesis scouts are all male, and have no real magic powers except controlling any type of storm. Magic does not usually affect them as it does other people, especially, attack spells, and they are fantastic fighters. Ranma will be around three years older than the Sailor scouts, making him seventeen in the show instead of sixteen.

Ranma looked around the gardens, eyes wide at the beauty before him. He had never seen such exquisite flowers before, and usually those that were nearby got destroyed in his battles. He sighed, not dwelling on the problems with his abilities, power, fiancées, and rivals. 'It's so peaceful,' he thought as he began to walk, allowing his body to take him where it wanted.

A moment later he walked around a hedge, giving him a perfect view of the stars above him, the planet Earth beginning to rise over the edge. Ranma's eyes widened a moment before he relaxed once more, 'A dream.'

It didn't take him long to get settled on the ground as he watched the earth rise. 'Beautiful,' he thought as he looked around him once more before settling on his clothes.

The crisp, blue shirt was very unlike what he usually wore, and the black pants looked comfortable and formal. He could feel his boots reaching well up his leg, and felt comfortable in them as well. He felt totally at peace as he brought up a flute to his lips and began to play.

'Wow, something I can do besides martial arts,' Ranma thought as he continued to play, 'At least in my dreams. Maybe it is time I took something else up.'

His brain paused a moment while his body continued to play the instrument, 'Nah, someone would come and mess it up. I'm surprised they haven't come to mess up my job.'

His eyes opened wide and he stopped hearing the melody as a bright light suddenly flashed in the middle of the clearing. There in the center stood a girl in a strange fuku, not unlike those seen at other schools for uniforms. Small abrasions and heavily bleeding cuts adorned her body as she fell to the ground.

Ranma was up and at her side before he could blink, holding her small, shuddering frame slightly off the ground. "Please," she whispered, her voice husky with the loss of her blood, "Take me to the Queen."

In no time, Ranma was seeing the inside of the palace he had just been outside of. He noticed the guards trying to stop him, shouting things he couldn't understand as he passed them, but none of that mattered to him. 'A girl's life is in danger!' he thought, putting on an extra burst of speed as he saw two huge double doors in front of them. He leapt at them with a flying kick, opening them and landing perfectly on the other side. On the dais sat a regal looking woman with silver hair, who was obviously startled at his sudden appearance. A hand grasped his shirt as he knelt in front of his queen, who was getting off her throne. Beside her was a young woman of barely sixteen that looked similar to the queen.

Ranma laid the girl he was attempting to rescue on the ground, still holding up her head as she faced the queen. He couldn't hear a word that was said for the blood pounding in his ears. A few moments later the girl collapsed in his arms and he heard the Queen quite clearly, "I can not heal physical wounds with the crystal. Quick, get her to the infirmary. Save her!"

Ranma nodded and was off again, running through the palace in another direction towards a destination he did not know, yet his body did. The richly decorated hallways soon became white, and he found himself in a room full of beds, people surrounding him. He laid the girl on a bed that was provided, and was quickly pushed away as the doctors and nurses began to work to save her life. Suddenly a man that looked remarkable like Dr. Tofu was in front of him, leading him out the door.

"It's all right, she's in good hands now son," he said before pushing Ranma out the door.

Ranma was startled to see a ballroom. 'Wasn't I just in the infirmary?' he questioned himself, looking around the room. He began to walk down the stairs as people stared at him. He looked up to see his Queen's smile and relaxed. He moved to the side, noticing how people backed away from him a little. 'How odd,' he thought, but then shrugged. He had spotted what he thought was the best part of any party, the buffet table.

He kept his eating as neat as possible, even going so far as to slow considerably down, as no one was attempting to steal his food or bother him in any way. He took the time to view the ball room, admiring the lavish decorations and interesting arrays of exotic flowers scattered sparsely around the room.

'Not bad,' Ranma thought, 'It's almost like the Christmas Party we had this past Christmas, though this place has tons more room.'

He smiled, swallowing what he was chewing on as a hand tapped his shoulder. Behind his was a raven haired beauty, though he could not see her face clearly. "Would you like to dance?" she asked shyly, holding out her hand.

Ranma felt himself nod, taking her hand and whisking her out to the dance floor. "Are you sure your boyfriend wouldn't mind you dancing with me?" he suddenly heard himself ask, and the girl ducked her head.

"I don't know what's come over him lately, he's become so distant. I wish Jadeite would talk to me," she said softly.

Ranma felt a small twinge in his heart as he realized she was crying. "Hey now, don't cry, I'm sure everything's going to be fine," he said softly holding her a little tighter.

"There's a war coming," she said, "I thought you could see that when that senshi whose planet got blown to bits arrived here, injured and beaten."

Ranma bit hi lip, "I'm sorry Mars, I only meant…"

The raven haired teenager nodded, and parted as another girl came over, a bubbly blonde with her hair in a bow. "May I cut in?" she asked. Mars nodded, and bowed out, allowing the blonde to take her place.

Ranma smiled and bowed, as was expected, the blonde answering his bow with a curtsy. "To what do I owe the honor Lady Venus," he asked, once again noticing that he could not clearly see her face.

"You saved a cousin of mine," she said with a laugh, "Is that not reason enough?"

Ranma gave a nod and spoke no more as the dance went on. He changed partners several times, each time speaking briefly with them before changing to the next person. Mercury's blue hair reminded him of Akane, though he prayed that she was not as she appeared to be better mannered. Jupiter almost reminded her of Ukyo, though her hair was much curlier than his childhood friend's. The last two also mentioned a Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto that could not attend the ball tonight, and wondered if he knew something.

Ranma almost sighed as another girl approached, though she looked slightly familiar. An image of her in the original fuku flashed through his mind, and he saw her face almost clearly. He ignored Jupiter's words as he took the other girl's hand, bowing as she curtsied to him. He drew her close, marveling at her strawberry blonde hair, aqua eyes looking up at him through her lashes.

"I wanted to thank you," she said softly, blushing.

Ranma raised an eyebrow, making a small mental note at how well they danced together, as neither appeared to be trying. 'This feels so natural,' he thought, waiting for her to continue.

"I do owe you for saving my life," she said after a moment, looking up at him fully, "I'm afraid there isn't much time for thanks now though."

"If it does come to pass," he said, "Call my name, I can protect you."

She shook her head, their dance slowing. Ranma desperately tried to find something to say to lighten the mood, but cringed when his foot-in-mouth disease took over, "Should we call you Sailor Asteroid now?"

Startled, she stared at him, before looking down, as if in pain and he winced. "I'm sorry," he said, "I-I didn't mean, for it to come out, that way. I just wanted to cheer you up."

She buried her head into his chest, and he could feel her tears and her smile through his shirt. "It's alright," she said softly, "I'm just so afraid."

"Afraid of what?" he asked, leading her off to the side of the dance floor.

"I'm a hero to my people, the sparse population that lived on my planet all ended up here. However, I chased the darkness to the sun, hoping to be rid of it before something of this magnitude could pass. I failed, and got the Solar Knight killed. She may not have gotten away unscathed, but she knows me, and my powers are limited."

Ranma chuckled, as he pulled her behind a pillar, causing her to look up at him, startled. "Powers limited? Your powers are like mine, little one. Like Pluto's, Saturn's, the Sun's. Our power is like the Moon Kingdom's power. It is not the power of our planet, but of our souls. That is why Queen Serenity is such a strong ruler. Our powers can't be limited by the destruction of our planets, only by our bodies as it is integrated into our soul."

Her eyes widened slightly, and then she blushed, looking off to the side. "This is the second time you've helped me regain hope, though it does not banish all fear. I do not wish to be alone when the war comes. I hope to see the Gate of Dimensions restored before I leave this place forever."

Ranma lifted her chin up, "Allow me to remain by your side then. Allow me to be your friend."

"Just call your name?" she asked.

Ranma nodded, and she smiled, "Guarding the gate and my planet never allowed me any friends. I suppose now is as good a time as any to start making them. Here, I made something for you as thanks for saving my life."

Ranma watched as she stepped away from him, a soft blue light glowing between her hands. The light then took form, condensing into a pair of bracers, which she then held out to him. "For you," she said softly, a smile on her face, "Our Queen told me of your abilities, and your lack of ability to concentrate enough to use them. Therefore, I made these to give you a focus in which to control and amplify your powers."

Ranma took them, frowning, "But I have no magic."

She raised an eyebrow, "Not all power is magic."

He quirked an eyebrow, putting the bracers on, "Just call my name so I can find you," he said, "No friend of mine is going to go at this alone, not if I can help it."

She smiled and nodded, a joy growing in her eyes that was missing at the beginning of their dance.

Ranma suddenly heard a noise and turned around, his suit becoming armor as the ballroom disappeared, replaced with the now trashed garden, and he saw an army appearing before him. "Are you ready to dance?" asked a voice from behind him.

Ranma turned, startled, to see his last dance partner behind him. He grimly nodded, "You provide the magic, and I'll provide the power."

She sighed, "I really had not wanted this to be our last dance."

Ranma grinned, "Don't worry, even in the next life I will be there. After we meet, I promise to be there for you."

She smiled, here eyes holding a grim purpose as she lunged forward with her weapon. Ranma also attacked, his respect growing for her fighting skills as he watched her. A cut on his shoulder made him turn his full attention back to the battle. He was startled to see Kunzite holding the other end of the sword.

He scowled, noticing the stone embedded on his former friend's lapel, and his maniacal laughter. "Traitor," Ranma growled, launching a fast attack. The fight went on, the generals running away as the mass of youma came and attacked the pair. Ranma heard a sudden scream and he turned to see his partner fall, screaming his name. Ranma roared, blasting away the youma's blocking him from her body. Moments later he reached her, taking a fatal blow as she died in his arms.

Suddenly his female side was before him, holding up a watch, "Ok lover boy, are you gonna take this call or may I finally get lead of the body for once?"

Ranma scowled, snatching the watch as the dreamscape disappeared. A new one was formed as his female side pouted. "How did you come to be anyways?" Ranma asked, slipping into a stance. The girl just gave him a tired look, and faded into the background. "I'm tired of fighting for control," she said as the scene changed, "I just wanted another chance at life. Ranma felt a pang in his heart as he opened his closed his eyes again. He then realized he was staring at the ceiling of his room in the Tendo Dojo, his fat panda of a father snoring beside him. He then quickly reached under his pillow and pulled out a watch that was softly beeping, attempting to grab his attention. He silenced it and pressed a button beginning to speak into the watch.

"Yeah chief?" he asked, putting his ear close as an old voice spoke softly, "I'll be right there, don't do anything until I get there."

The voice rattled off a few directions, Ranma nodding as he stood up and began to find his clothes. "All right I'm on my way," Ranma muttered as he snuck out his bedroom door.

As he reached the front door, Ranma sighed, realizing it was raining. He set his shoulders as he resigned himself to his cursed form, stepping outside into the rain. 'Well, time for work,' Ranma thought, roof hopping towards a new district.
