It was not a good day to stand guard on the bridge, there was a heavy fog. The guard could only clearly see about six feet in front of himself. Suddenly there was a dark shape in the fog, he squinted his eyes to see move detail as the figure got closer and closer. When the figure was about six feet away from him he could see it was a young girl.

She was about 5' 8" [AN: 5 foot 8 inches], had long dark green hair held up in a half bun that reached her waist, amethyst coloured eyes and a slight smirk on her lips. She was wearing a school uniform made up of a red checked skirt, a white blouse with a maroon ribbon tied in a bow at the neck, a maroon waistcoat and a maroon blazer. She carrier a staff in her right hand, with the head just resting on her right shoulder and in her left she loosely carried a sheathed katana. The staff was about 6' 5" and made of a dark grey slightly black metal, the staff was shaped like a key with a heart shaped loop at the top, within the heart was a blood red stone that pulsed slightly like a heartbeat. The sword was a full sized katana with a dark green sheath with black swirls on it, the ends were capped with black metal, the handle was wrapped in a dark green cord, and the guard was made of a dark blackish metal with a hint of bronze.

The guard held up his left hand, and moved his right hand to his sword. "Stop!" he shouted.

The girl smirked, she pushed the sword slightly out of the sheath with her thumb, she whispered just loud enough for the guard to hear "Shunda." [1] Before the guard could do anything the girl blurred and disappeared, only to reappear six feet behind the guard. Sheathing the sword with a click, which was the last thing the guard heard as he died, with his stomach laid open and his spine severed just below the rib cage. The girl continued walking not paying any attention to the guard slumping to the ground behind her or the spray on blood that appeared two and a half feet to her right.

Continuing on she came to an arch with twenty guards on the other side. Opening her left hand she let the sword drop, it faded out of existence before it hit the ground. Moving her grip of the staff to two thirds of the way up, she held it parallel to the ground with the heart shaped loop in front of her chest, she held her left hand with the fingers splayed next to the staff. "Tempus fugit Unde Velox Alae [2], A chain of light to cut through the night, Spring forth from my hand and strike my enemy! Chain Lightning!" [3] she whispered pushing both her hand and her staff forwards, from her left hand blue tinged white lightning burst, it hit the nearest guard and leaped to the next and the next, four guards died screaming as the lightning hit them.

Bursting into a run, she quickly closed the distance between her and the guards, swinging her staff at the closest guard, he tried to duck but didn't duck quickly enough, the guard got hit on the temple. Spinning around quickly she thrust the end of her staff into the chest of an oncoming guard. Slamming the end of her staff into the ground she used it as leverage to flip above a guard and kick him on the back of the neck. Pushing of the falling guard she just kicked, she sent herself high into the air "Tempus fugit Unde Velox Alae, From the temple of the evil one beneath me, Rise up and strike mine enemies down! Rippling Ground!" [4] She said as she neared the ground and slammed her staff into the ground. The ground around her rippled like the surface of a pond after a stone was thrown in. The rippling ground threw half a dozen guards in to the air causing them to slam into the ground removing them from the fight.

Turning to face the next group of guards, she held her fist just beneath her chin she said" Tempus fugit Unde Velox Alae, Come, Spirits of Ice! From frozen tundra and glacier cold, The north wind blows! Kiss of the North Wind!" [5] Opening her fist and blowing out a breath, as if blowing a kiss to her enemy, a freezing wind with blown snow shot towards the four guards freezing them solid. "Tempus fugit Unde Velox Alae, The king of the jungle runs, On golden savannah wild, The king needs his meal! Lion's Roar!" [6] She shouted stabbing her staff towards the four frozen guards, a wave of concussive sound shot towards the guards causing them to shatter.

Hearing a whistling noise behind her, the girl takes a step back and ducks down, dropping her staff, which fades out of existence before it hits the ground; she moves both hands to the left side of her waist, closing her left hand as her sword fades back into existence. Gripping the sheath in her left and handle in her right, she spins on her left heel, pulling the sword from the sheath and slashing the oncoming guard across the belly in the same movement.

Standing up she sees only two guards remain, both with swords drawn and standing in front of her about three feet away. Cocking her head to the right, she dares them to come at her. The one on her left takes the dare, running forward he attempts an overhead slash, at the last possible moment she steps right, bringing her left hand up, the sheath still held in it, she flicks the sheath over the top of the guards left arm trapping it between the sheath and her arm. Bringing the sword up: she stabs it through the guard's neck. Pulling her sword out and releasing the trapped arm, she allows the guard to crumple to the ground. Turning to face the last guard, she flicks her sword to her right to remove the blood from it.

Looking at the guard, she sees he has lost his nerve and has turn tail and ran. "Coward" she quietly murmurs as she sheaths her sword. Letting her left arm fall to her waist she lets the sword drop and it again fades out of existence. Holding her right arm out to her right, with the palm open to the floor, the staff fades into existence, as it becomes fully real she grips it. Holding the staff at an angle so that the head of the staff is above her head, and holding her left hand , fingers splayed, about a foot from her chest, she start talking in a whisper that carriers way too far.

"Tempus fugit Unde Velox Alae, Forty nine spirits of shadow, Come together and strike mine enemy, Magic Arrows! Converge!" [7] Around her 49 arrows of sharpened shadow faded into existence, moving her left hand forwards and swing the staff towards the fleeing guard. The arrows around her quickly moved towards the guard, as they got closer they started moving together, and started joining together until there was only one arrow. This arrow hit the guard in the back killing him.

::clap, clap:: Came from above, looking around the girl could see two girls at the top of the staircase behind her. The slow, sardonic, clapping came from the shorter of the two. Both the girls were dressed in the same uniform as the girl that beat the guards. The shorter of the girls, who looked about ten, had long blond slightly curled hair that reached her calves and cold green eyes, she was Evangeline A. K. McDowell, the undying mage, dark evangel and to a rare, rare few (including Sailor Pluto) Kitty. She was a five hundred year old shinso vampire and a very powerful mage. The taller of the two girls was Chachamaru Karakuri; she had waist length green hair, emotionless green eyes and antennae sticking out from under her hair, she was a robot.

"Well done Ran, you were thirty seconds faster that time. Release! [8]" as the last word was uttered Evangeline snapped her fingers, the guards around the now named Ran became what they actually were, Simulacrums (simulated life, golems) [9], they looked like metal mannequins.

Ran was Ranko Meioh, also known as Ranma Meioh, and rarely Sailor Charon. She was the child of Setsuna Meioh, Sailor Pluto, who divorced Genma three years ago and locked him in panda form (with no ability to use ki) and dumped him in Tokyo Zoo. Officially she was fourteen, physically she was closer to fifteen due to the time sent in Eva's resort, and mentally she was close to eighteen from time spent at the time gates.

"Come Ran, or we'll be late. We are getting a new teacher today" Evangeline said as she walked up to Ranko.

"I guess Asuna won't be able to get her love then" replied a smirking Ranko.

As the rest of the class chatted, gossiped and argued, two girls, a blond and a dark green, were sitting at the back having a quiet discussion. As the door opened, everyone in the class room looked towards it. A short boy who appeared ten with red hair walked in. As he crossed the threshold an eraser fell towards his head, he whispered a spell to freeze the class and the eraser. All but three members of the class froze, when he noticed Asuna hadn't froze, he panicked dropped the spell, got hit on the back of the head with the eraser, stumbled forwards tripping over a rope, landed head first into a bucket and got hit by arrows with suction cups on the ends. Once he recovered he said "Hello everyone, I'm a professor Negi Springfield and I'm your new home room teacher."

Authors Notes:

Shunda (lit: instant hit) is an advanced form of the Shundo (instant movement) speed technique, which is a ki powered speed movement, appears to make the user teleport up to twenty feet. The shunda is an attack move, where the user rapidly moves towards the enemy, hits the enemy twice and rapidly moves away from the enemy. To an outside observer it appears the user disappears and reappears about six feet behind the target, with a slash on the front of the target and a stab wound on the back of the target. This move is based on the Senka (Flash Blossom) move from Bleach, but with a slash and a stab instead of two stabs.

Tempus fugit Unde Velox Alae: [lit] Time flees on swift wings. This is Ranma/Ranko's private magical activation phrase.

Chain Lightning is a high mid-level lightning spell, it is a powerful blast of electricity from the caster's palm, that after striking the first target it leaps to the next target and so on, the number of targets in the chain is directly proportional to the amount of magic used. It is very powerful against living targets, but not as effective against inanimate objects.

Rippling Ground is a mid-level earth spell, that causes waves (or large ripples) from a central point, the point the staff, fist or foot of the user touches, the range (to a maximum of twenty feet) and the size of the waves can both be changed by the user and the power put into the spell.

Kiss of the North Wind is a low mid-level ice spell, it is a combined ice and wind spell that causes a strong wind to blow from the users "kiss", that freezes anything it touches, it has a maximum range of about ten feet but the area frozen can be changed by the amount of magic used. It is equally effective against animate and inanimate objects.

Lion's Roar is a specialised sound/wind spell, it causes a concussive sound wave to be created from a point on the user of the user's choice, the sound wave will either force the object it hits back or cause is to shatter, or a combination of the two. It is limited to a range of approximately six feet.

Magic Arrows is one of the most basic attack spells, but also very versatile. The caster creates a number of elemental magic missiles and fires them at the target. The number can vary from just one up to the maximum number that varies per the power and control of the caster. The missiles have a homing capability, and will track and follow their target at the direction of the caster. Normally, the attack fires in a widespread swarm, similar to an artillery shrapnel shell striking the target from multiple angles, but the caster, by substituting Converge for Series, can combine the arrows into a single larger bolt, which is easier to avoid, but hits that much harder. There are versions for every element.

Releaseis used to end a held spell, including prettification, illusions and golem spells.

Simulacrumsare a type a golem used to simulate an enemy or group of enemies, they can do everything a normal human can do (one without any ki or magic). They are very realistic when used by a master, they bleed and bones feel real and break realistically.

Ranma/ranko will be more mature than his/her peers; this is due to the amount of time spent training in the time gates, where people don't age physically. Ranma's curse is not locked Setsuna turned him into a starlight (can change genders); in this fan fiction a starlight is made by a magical ritual rather than born. Eva and Ranma/ranko were introduced by Setsuna, but Eva likes the extra maturity Ranma/ranko has so has actually become a friend.

I've decided to use sailor Charon rather than sailor chibi Pluto because I think the later sounds stupid. Ranma will be able to access his sailor powers in male form but won't be able to channel as much magic than if he was female.

Ranma does not limit himself to hand to hand combat but can also use weapons, but he will not rely just upon the weapon at the expense of all else, he likes to be adaptable. He has mastered a form of bojutsu (staff combat) called The Thousand Moons of Pluto the bojutsu style taught to the plutonian royal family, and royal guard. He is also an advance student of kenjutsu (sword combat) of the Shinmei-ryū style (God's cry school), this is the style used by Setsuna Sakurazaki.

I have just done a mass timeline update to get it in line with my new ideas.
