                       The Return of the Silver Senshi

                                   Part 1

Somewhere in the space-time continuum...

"Hey Prototype, what are you working on?" Trainer asked as he and the other
Ranmas were spending the week in a hotel in some world that resembled
ancient Japan, but all the women were all Marionettes. The Pokemon trainer

had to be very careful not to show his girl side or people might mistake him
for one of those pseudo-females.

"Oh,  well it's  just a little  side project  that I've been  tinkering with
since we  left that Sailor  Senshi world." Prototype replied  as he adjusted
the  settings   to  six  devices  that   resembled  high-tech  wristwatches.

P-Ranma  shuddered as  he remembered his  role in  that reality. It  was bad
enough that  he had to  go run around in  a fuku to save  the Sailor Senshi.
What had occurred afterward  still gave him nightmares. Justice Five indeed!
Somebody   had  been   watching   WAY  too   many  Power   Ranger  episodes!

It was then that  Trainer noticed something. "Hey wait a minute. I count six
of those Power Armor  activators. We only used four. You didn't use one when
you went through that  Armor Energizing nonsense, since you already had that
high-tech Exo-Armor of yours."

"Yes, well the other two were backups that I had made just in case we needed
the extra  firepower." The  technological Ranma replied as  he finished with
his adjustments.

"So... do they work?"

T-Ranma  grinned as  he said,  "Why? Do  you want  to be Sailor  Silver Star
again?"

"No way!" P-Ranma replied frantically while wildly waving his hands. He then
calmed down a bit.  "I was just curious, that's all. I thought they couldn't
be used  again since you told  us that they were  all burned out after using
the 100 times armor."

"They were." T-Ranma confirmed.  "However, I still had the blueprints to the
original  armor specs.  I  had four  new activators  made and  augmented the
remaining two.  Who knows? We might have to do  the superhero thing again in

the future."

"So these things are like the originals?"

"Not quite. I've made  certain improvements and these new bands will enhance
the  biostructure of  the wearer  so that  he can  take the  increased power
output better. The old ones could only augment the wearer's innate abilities
by a factor of ten and one hundred respectively. Remember the Ultra and Mega
Armor?  These new ones  can increase a  person's powers  by a factor  of one
thousand. I think I'll  call it... Hyper Armor Energizing." T-Ranma chuckled
a bit.  "Oh and  here's a new  little addition." He gestured  to a connector
outlet on  the side of one of the wristbands.  "With this little device, TWO
people  can  combine  their   powers  together  into  one  singular  being."

"Really? You mean that two people can merge into one?"

"That's right.  Think of the  possibilities. A Cat Fist  martial artist with
the Unseen Light. A Pokemon trainer with dragon powers. Of course, I haven't
really  tested this  new process  out yet,  but the  theory is sound  and it
SHOULD work."

"Let's   hope   that   we   never  have   to   use   them."  Trainer   said.

"I  tend to  agree with you  on that."  T-Ranma said. "Especially  since the
hyper-level armor mode may be too much for any one person to handle, despite
having one's  body enhanced to its utmost potential.  Remember how much of a
strain it put on  you guys after you went through the ultra and mega levels?
Your  bodies became  so  hyper-metabolic that  you  guys ate  enough in  one
sitting to feed an entire division for a month. If we ever have to use these
things again,  then it would best  that you DON'T try  to go to hyper level.
Your metabolisms  may not  be able to  withstand such a strain  and burn out
completely. Heck, it would even tax MY body."

----------

A  week  later,  in  the  dimensional  vortex  on  board  T-Ranma's  ship...

"Well guys, here  we go again. So which way should we  go this time? One set
coordinates is as good  as another." T-Ranma said as he gestured to a nearby
monitor   which  had   a  long   list  of   coordinates  displayed   on  it.

"How about  these coordinates?" Trainer asked as he  tapped a finger on some
numbers. On his shoulder  was his Pikachu. His other Pokemon were resting in
their Pokeballs on his belt.

Prototype shook his head. "Nope. We've already been there. Those coordinates
lead to that Sailor Senshi world."

"Then  let's  not go  there  again!"  Trainer remarked  as his  counterparts
snickered a bit.

----------

Meanwhile, in  the place beyond and between all  places (better known as the
Realm of  Infinity), Ranma Red and Ranma Blue  watched via a mystical viewer
as   the  ship   continued  to   cruise  through  the   dimensional  vortex.

"Well, Trainer's  right. They don't need to go back  to that world. They did
the  job  that  we  sent them  to  do  in  that  reality."  Ranma Red  said.

"Yes and..."  Ranma Blue  paused as he  saw something else  happening in the
space-time continuum. "Uh oh."

"What?" His brother asked  as he gazed at the scene happening in the viewer.
He nodded  and turned  to his twin.  "Looks like they're going  to be needed
again in  that world. The danger that's coming  is something that the Sailor

Senshi can't handle by themselves."

"Yep. But  it wouldn't do if  we sent them all back  to that world. It would
look a bit suspicious."

"Hmm, you're right. How about just one of them?"

"That  could  work. I'd  say  that  the Silver  Senshi  is about  to make  a
comeback, don't you think?"

"Usual way?"

"Yeah,   though  I   REALLY   HATE  doing   this  to   any  one   of  them!"

"I do too, but how else can we give the Sailor Senshi the help they need? We
have   to   make  it   look   like   an  accident.   So   are  you   ready?"

"Ready."

----------

Trainer was  sitting near the transport  controls as the ship  began to head
toward a  point in  the nexus. It  was at that  moment that  a quantum surge
suddenly lashed  out and struck hard against the  shields of the craft. This
caught  everyone totally  off guard  as they  were thrown from  their seats.
P-Ranma winced  as he landed hard  on his rear. A large  box that was on the
console  fell  into his  lap.  Raiden  managed to  hold  onto  his perch  on
P-Ranma's shoulder as his  master struggled to get up. As he reached for the
edge of the console, his fingers brushed against a certain panel and touched
a series of buttons in a specific sequence.

It was  then that T-Ranma  noticed where his counterpart's  hand was. "DON'T
TOUCH THAT!"

Too late. P-Ranma had accidentally activated the transporter controls. In an
instant, the Pokemon trainer, his Pikachu and the box in his lap disappeared
in a flash of light.

Prototype winced  as his group was once again  short one member. However, he
couldn't deal  with that problem at the moment as he  had to guide his craft
and  the rest  of his  party to  safety. He  told his counterparts  to brace
themselves as  the cruiser  broke through the dimensional  fabric of reality
and  entered   another  universe...  without  Trainer,   who  was  instantly
transported to a separate, yet very familiar world.

----------

Universe HIJ5664000XX...

"Don't worry guys. This one's on me!"

<Annihilator! One millionth of full power!>

(*Affirmative!*)

The Angel  didn't know what hit it as a  blast of anti-matter ripped through
its  AT field  as  if it  was nothing.  The monstrosity  was destroyed  in a
heartbeat,   leaving  only   a   large  smoking   crater  in   its  passing.

Asuka, Rei,  Misato and the other  EVA pilots could only  stare in awe after
seeing the fifth Angel  this week go up in smoke. In the last five days, the
strangers  had destroyed each  and every  Angel with unbelievable  ease. The
first day, the blind one had destroyed an Angel with a concentrated blast of
energy which  he called a Spirit  Beam. The next day,  the second look-alike
had morphed into some  huge phantom tiger and reduced the attacking Angel to
shreds. The  third day,  a huge winged  lizard had appeared  and torched the
Angel with a fiery breath. The following day, that same giant beast had torn
apart an Angel with  its huge claws. Now today, the leader of that party had
made some huge cannon  appear and obliterated the enemy so casually, that he
looked  almost bored  with  causing mass  destruction.. As  of now,  the EVA
pilots were  feeling superfluous.  The scientists were itching  to learn the
secrets of the newcomers.

T-Ranma lowered the Annihilator  and sighed. They had been in this world for
more than five days and they had been fighting Angels nonstop. By week's end
his  quantum  phase drive  should  be ready  for  them to  depart. He  could

only hope  that Trainer  would be still  be alive when they  reached him. He
knew where  P-Ranma was from  the last coordinates that  the transporter had
sent him  to. He could  only guess as to  what he had been  doing since they

were separated.

As of  now, until  they were able to  leave, the remaining Ranmas  had to do
everything in  their power  to avert the  catastrophe that would  follow the
Third Impact.

----------

Five days earlier, in that particular universe...

"NOOOOOO!  NOT AGAIN!"  P-Ranma  moaned as  he recognized  his surroundings.

"Pika." Raiden replied with a helpless shrug.

Trainer and  his Pikachu had just  materialized in the middle  of a deserted
street and his gaze  was fixated on a store window of a  toy store. He saw a
certain  action figure  that  was being  offered  at a  discounted price  as
interest in  the character had steadily declined since  the last time he was
here.  In  big  letters,  the  sign  proclaimed, 'All  Silver  Senshi  dolls
andmerchandise, 50% off.'

"How  did  we  end  up  here  again,  Raiden?" P-Ranma  asked  his  Pikachu.

Raiden could only shrug and reply, "Pika, pi."

"I  don't  know  either,  but...  wait  a  minute! You  don't  suppose  that
transporter of  Prototype's sent us to those  coordinates that he showed us,
do you?"

Raiden cocked  his head  to one side  in thought, then  nodded in agreement.

"Pikachu!"

"So  that what  I touched  when I  reached for  the console."  Pokemon Ranma
realized. "But, if that's  the case, then how do we get back to the others?"

Raiden had  no answer  for his master. It  was then that he  and his trainer
noticed the  box lying on the  pavement near them. P-Ranma  realized that it
was the same box  that had landed in his lap. He went over and picked it up.
Opening the  top, he  looked into it and  saw that it contained  the six new
Power Armor Activators that T-Ranma had been working on. Nodding to himself,
he closed the box  and took stock of what was on his person. He had with him

his  belt  of Pokeballs  and  the  Pokedex. He  was  wearing his  cyberweave
bodysuit, which was currently  mimicking the clothes that he usually wore on
the Pokemon  World. Clipped on his belt, he  had the new micro-survival unit

that  T-Ranma had  issued  to his  counterparts after  that incident  in the
Outlaw Star  universe in  case any of  them were separated.  Each device had
access to its own  subspace pocket, which contained various items, including

a sizable  store of food, emergency equipment  such as flares, and first-aid
supplies,  and a  limited  amount of  gold and  precious gems  for currency.
P-Ranma also noted that  he still had a spare dispenser of that instant hair
color that he had  used to change his hair to silver-blonde the last time he
was  here.   That  was   part  of  his   disguise  as  the   Silver  Senshi.

<Well, I won't be doing that ag->

P-Ranma's thoughts were interrupted  as he heard a loud explosion nearby. He
looked at his Pikachu,  who nodded in agreement and they both ran toward the
direction of  the disturbance  was taking place.  He began to  get even more
worried when he heard screams and some familiar voices.

"LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!"

"FLAME SNIPER!"

"WAAAAAHHHHH! THEY'RE TOO STRONG!"

<Oh boy!  I'd recognize  that panicky voice  anywhere! > P-Ranma  turned the
corner and saw a scene of carnage.

There  they were...  the Inner Senshi  and they  were up to  their fuku-clad
necks in  trouble. By the looks of the  devastated streets around them, they
had been fighting hard against some huge monstrous... monsters for some time

and they  seemed to be on  the brink of exhaustion.  Sailor Jupiter, Mercury
and Chibi-Moon were already down for the count and the remaining Senshi were
about to  join them as the  youma continued to advance  on them. Jupiter was
lying  unconscious  beside  Mercury  and  Chibi-Moon. Mars  and  Venus  were
launching attack after attack  at their enemies but to no avail as they were
forced  back to  where Sailor  Moon and  their fallen comrades  were. Things
looked pretty bad.

"Pika! Pikachu!" Raiden tugged at his master's leg.

"I  know they  need help,  Raiden! But  what should we...."  Trainer's voice
trailed off as he realized what his Pokemon was thinking. "Oh no! Not again!
The  last time was  bad enough! Do  you realize  how drafty that  fuku was?"

"Pika!"

P-Ranma  winced as  his  favorite Pokemon  gave him  the  dreaded, puppy-dog
pleading   look.  He   never  could   resist  Raiden   when  he   did  that.

"Pika! Pika! Pika!"

"Oh all right already!"

"Pikachu!" Raiden said joyfully.

"Raiden,  return!"  Trainer  said  as  he  recalled  his  Pikachu  into  his
Pokeballand   then   ran   toward   a   nearby   outdoor   water   fountain.

----------

"Our Mistress  will be pleased!" The  blob-like youma sneered as  he and his
comrades had the remaining Senshi cornered and weakened.

"Yes! We  shall succeed where Blodia  had failed!" The second  youma said as
they all prepared to let loose with one final barrage. The ambush had worked
perfectly and soon the Sailor Senshi would be no more than a memory. Nothing
could stop them now.

Sailor  Moon, Mars  and Venus  all stood  defiantly between their  enemy and
their helpless  comrades. If they were  going to die, then  they would do so
together.

"SILVER BOLT FLASH!"

It was at that  moment that a brilliant flash of silver suddenly exploded in
front of their eyes and a familiar speech was heard.

"To protect the universe from devastation!"

A  pop  was heard  as  a Pokeball  appeared  and released  what was  inside.

"Pikachu!"

"To destroy all evil without hesitation!"

Another Pokeball was thrown.

"Pidgooo!"

"To   defend    the   sailor-suited    warriors   of   truth    and   love!"

"Machop!"

"BY KICKING BAD GUY BUTT TO THE STARS ABOVE!"

"Neigh!"

"We are... the Silver Senshi and her Elemental Allies!"

"Golduck!"

"We are the champions of justice and light!"

"Sandslash!"

"Surrender now or get ready to fight!"

The youma were just  recovering from the sudden flash of light when they all
gasped at the sight  of P-Ranma in his female form and dressed in his Silver
Senshi costume.  Behind him, the  Pokemon were all powering  up their battle
auras  as the  Sailor Senshi  could only  gape in  total disbelief.  At that
moment,  news crews  and their  cameras began  to arrive  on the  scene. The
reporters  were also  stunned to  see the  return of the  mysterious Senshi.

"Silver Senshi! It's you!" Sailor Moon cried out.

P-Ranma  smiled  at  Usagi  and  nodded.  "That's  right  Sailor  Moon.  I'm
BAAAAAAAACCCCCK! RAIDEN! THUNDERBOLT ATTACK!"

"Pikachu!"

One of  the attacking youma howled as a  massive blast of electricity lanced
out and  lit it up  like a Christmas tree.  It was then knocked  down as the
Pikachu flashed forward and  knocked it down with a Lightning Tackle. Before
the beast could even  think to retaliate, Raiden went into a flurry of kicks
and  punches, appearing  to all as  a yellow  streak that buzzed  around the
youma  like a  maddened dragonfly.  Then, the  area exploded  in a  flash of
brilliance as the Pikachu's aura sent his enemy skyward.

"PIKA... CHUUUUU!"

The youma  could only  let of a howling  scream of agony as  the Pikachu let
loose  with one  final  burst of  high-voltage and  fried  his enemy  into a
cinder. Anyone like their youma extra crispy?

The remaining  bad guys  were in a  state of shock, (pardon  the pun), after
seeing  a cute  little mouse  toast one  of their  comrades. They  were soon
fighting  for their  lives  as the  rest of  the Silver  Senshi's 'Elemental
Allies' shot  forward at their  mistress' command. The battle  area was soon
being devastated as psychic blasts, ice beams, flames and ki blasts shot out
to   pummel  the   ones  who   had  nearly   destroyed  the   Inner  Senshi.

P-Ranma ran  to where Sailor Jupiter lay as  her Pokemon continued to defend
the  other Senshi.  She knelt  down and  put one  arm behind  Makoto's back,
propping her head up  as she assessed the Senshi's injuries. Though Makoto's
Senshi costume  gave her a very  high degree of protection,  it was apparent
that  Sailor Jupiter  had been hit  extremely hard.  Judging by her  weak ki
signature, P-Ranma saw that  she just barely hanging on. It was if something
or someone  had drained a very large portion  of her precious life energies.
Her  costume was  torn  and tattered  in numerous  places  and her  body had
several  large  bruises.  P-Ranma  suspected that  she  had  received a  bad
concussion and  glanced over to where Sailor  Mercury and Chibi-Moon lay and
sensed that  they too were badly  injured, though not to  as great extent as
Makoto was.

The Silver Senshi then  applied a hand to the back of Makoto's head and lent
her a  portion of her own  ki to revive her.  She smiled as Makoto's eyelids
fluttered,   then  opened   as  Sailor   Jupiter  let   off  a   weak  moan.

----------

Meanwhile, in another dimension, certain sinister figures were observing the
new turn of event with surprise and disgust.

"What?! WHO IS THAT?!"

""I don't  know, but she  is ruining all of  our plans! Were it  not for her
interference, in  less than a minute,  the Sailor Senshi would  have been no
longer be a threat to our invasion!"

"We cannot allow her  to stop us when we are so close to our ultimate goal!"

"Yes, we have planned long and hard for this day. Capturing the Outer Senshi
and using  their power to fuel our minions  without wasting our own precious
reserves of  energy was  a stroke of  genius! What better way  to defeat the
other Senshi then by  using pawns who draw their power from the same sources
as the Senshi?"

The second  figure nodded as they  both glanced over to  their captives, who
were chained to a  wall and had several slimy tendrils attached to them. The
psuedopods glowed with a crimson light and Sailor Saturn, Neptune and Uranus
would scream  out in agony as more of their  life energies were sucked away.
Beside them, in a  large crystal monolith, Sailor Pluto was encased and in a
state of suspended animation.

"It  took much  to catch the  Outer Senshi  off guard, especially  with that
blasted Guardian of Time." The first figure commented.

"Yes, but her obsession with making her precious Crystal Tokyo a reality was
her downfall."  The second  figure said. "By  causing a false  signal in the
time stream to appear, we made her believe that a temporal rift had occurred
and lured  her into  chrono-loop. Within that monolith,  she is experiencing
the same  timeline of  the last few  days over and  over again  in her mind,
created and maintained by her own power."

"Yes,  and without  her, the  other Senshi  had no  advanced warning  of our
arrival. It was simple matter to lure the rest of the Outers into a trap and
capture them  all. They  were so eager  to fight and destroy  the enemy that
manipulating  their actions  was mere  child's play, especially  with Sailor
Uranus, the most headstrong and brash of the Outers."
"Yes, and  Sailor Neptune  and Saturn were  certain to follow.  Now they are
providing us with the  power to defeat the Inner Senshi. Once they have been
eliminated,   we  will  be   able  to   achieve  what  Blodia   could  not!"

"Yes,  but our  plans  may come  to naught  if  we let  this  newcomer spoil
everything!"

"Then  let  us destroy  this  nuisance  now! Let  the  power  of the  Outers
annihilate her along with the Inners!"

The  two  figures made  a  gesture  toward their  captive  and the  tendrils
increased  their rate  of absorbing  the Outers'  powers and  life energies.
Sailor  Neptune and  the  other Outers  screamed as  new pain  flooded their
bodies.

----------

Makoto moaned as she focused in on the person who was cradling her head. Her
vision soon became clear as she saw the silver-blonde face of an old friend.
She weakly smiled.

"Silver... Senshi. You're... back!"

"That's right Sailor Jupiter, I'm back!" P-Ranma replied as she took a quick
glance at  the battle. Sea Storm was protecting  Sailor Moon, Mars and Venus
with his  psychic barrier  as Wildfire was  burning down two  youma with his
Fire  Spin  attack. Razor  and  Bruiser  were taking  down  another pair  of
monsters that resembled insects, while Raiden and Wind Rider were protecting
their  flanks. It  looked  like the  Pokemon  had everything  well in  hand.

Things suddenly changed when  a huge black disc suddenly appeared above them
and some  larger, more  hideous creatures dropped  down from the  portal and
joined the others in  the assault. The Pokemon found themselves being forced
back as the odds began to shift against them.

Makoto moaned  as she tried to  get up to fight, but  her body had taken too
much damage to be of any help.

"I'm so... weak..."

P-Ranma  gritted her  teeth. Things  did not  look too  good as she  saw her
Pokemon start  to lose ground. She  had to go help them  and by the looks of
things, she would also have to use the device that was on her wrist. But she
couldn't leave  Sailor Jupiter and the others,  especially in the state they
were in.  The Senshi needed something to revitalize  them and they needed it
now!

The  Pokemon trainer then  came to a  decision and  took out another  of the
devices, attaching it to Makoto's wrist.

(*Power  Armor   Activator  is   online.  New  user   has  been  identified.
Biostructure analysis is complete. Ready to initiate!*)

"Huh?"  Sailor Jupiter  stared  at the  strange band  with confusion  as the
Silver Senshi raised the arm up straight.

"Sailor   Jupiter...   repeat  after   me.   Ultra...  Armor...   Energize!"

The  was a  long  pause as  Makoto considered  it and  decided that  she had
nothing left  to lose. She took a deep breath,  then shouted out the command
phrase.

"ULTRA ARMOR ENERGIZE!"

There was another explosion of lightning as Sailor Jupiter was enveloped and
her  body  floated to  hover  upright in  midair.  Her form  became a  white
silhouette as all the  injuries she had sustained were immediately restored.
Then she  began to pirouette with her right leg bent  at the knee, her upper
body arched out and  her head and arms thrown back. Lightning bolts crackled
in  the background  as they  wrapped themselves  around her limbs  and armor
units appeared to merge with her Senshi costume.

"SAILOR JUPITER... ARMOR ENERGIZE TO..."

Her green footwear was  replaced by more stylish, emerald, knee-length boots
with lightning  bolt designs  running up the  front. The skirt  became a bit
longer and took on a more metallic sheen. The front of her costume which had
a pretty  pink bow  morphed into an  armored breastplate with  a more fuller
bosom. Apparently,  the process  also put her body  through more... physical
development in  order to handle  the new energy output.  Makoto became three
inches taller  and her teenage  figure became more curved  with added muscle
tone.  Pointed  epaulets  appeared  on her  shoulders  and  merged with  the
breastplate as  forearm gauntlets appeared over  her white gloves. Her tiara
extended its antenna and  lightning-shaped winglets appeared on each side of
the  headpiece.  Makoto  struck  a  pose  in  front  of a  background  of  a
thunderstorm as  a small symbol of Jupiter appeared  on her chest just above
her heart.

"... SAILOR THUNDER STRIKE!"

"Sailor... Thunder Strike?!" Sailor  Moon, Mars and Venus gasped as they saw
a more curvaceous and slightly buffer Makoto.

Sailor Jupiter was ecstatic as she felt more power coursing through her than
ever  before. She  looked down at  herself and  smoothed her hands  down her
sides,  then grinned  as  she flaunted  her new  five-feet-eleven-inch tall,
33-26-34 figure  to her comrades. "Whoa! Check out  these hips! I am totally
bitching!"

The cameramen and reporters  started drooling at the sight of the Senshi who
now resembled one of  the exotic Amazon Warriors of Greek legend. Across the
city of  Tokyo, several hundred wives  and girlfriends slapped their spouses
and boyfriends,  after the  males let off  cat calls and  wolf whistles from
seeing Makoto  transform from a lanky teenage  girl to a brunette bombshell,
that had a figure most supermodels would kill for.

Pokemon Ranma could only grin and shrug at the newly formed, vastly improved
Senshi of  Jupiter and then pointed  to the attacking youma.  "You go girl!"
She then  looked down  at her Pikachu  and pointed to  Makoto. "Raiden, meet
your new battle-buddy. DOUBLE-TEAM THUNDERBOLT ATTACK!"

"Pika!" Raiden  raced toward  Makoto as she  began powering up  her upgraded
electrical abilities.  The sailor-suited warrior smiled  as she glanced over
and saw  the electric mouse perched on her  right shoulder. She then brought
her hands  together and  a stream of  sparks flowed between  them. The power
condensed into a long, crackling shape which she grasped like a staff in one
hand. She  reared back and hurled it forward like  an Olympic athlete in the
javelin competition.

"JUPITER... THUNDER STRIKE SPEAR!"

"Pikachu!" The electric rodent powered up his electric cheek pouches and let
loose with  a massive bolt that  added to the projectile  Makoto had thrown.
The  attack  became even  more  intense  as it  flashed  toward the  nearest
monstrosity. The  beast let off a  blood-curdling scream as it  was hit with
enough amperage  to light up downtown  Tokyo for a month!  The discharge let
off  secondary bolts  which took  out television  sets and cameras  within a
one-block radius as well as a dozen other enemies as they were caught in the
blast.

Sailor Thunder Strike stared at the crater that was all that was left of her
target and  then looked down at the wisps of smoke  that was coming from her
fingertips. She  then shrugged to the  Pikachu on her shoulder  and blew the
smoke from her fingertips.

"I've got the JUICE!"

P-Ranma decided to get into the act as the remaining youma decided to charge
at the other Senshi and her Pokemon. She held up her device and shouted out.

"ULTRA ARMOR ENERGIZE!"

Once again, the Silver  Senshi was engulfed in a blinding nimbus of light as
her body underwent similar  changes as Makoto's did. With the improved Power
Armor enhancement process, Trainer's  girl body, with its already impressive
figure, became more curved  and increased in both height and muscle tone. An
armored breastplate,  this one  done in silver  appeared, as well  as newer,
sleeker gauntlets  and boots  than the previous time,  appeared and attached
themselves to her. Reporters and cameramen drooled anew as Trainer became as
sexy-looking  as  a  certain  Goddess of  the  Past  that  we  all know  of.

"SILVER SENSHI.... ARMOR ENERGIZE TO..."

On her back, not  one, but three pairs of feathery wings sprouted and spread
themselves out. Prototype had recently made a more maneuverable anti-gravity
harness and the wings were now equipped with new weapon systems. She flapped
them once  to get  a feel for  them again, then  took a  pose in front  of a
star-studded  background as  a  star insignia  appeared on  her  chest. Once
again, the Silver Senshi had become...

"...SAILOR SILVER STAR!"

Her belt  of Pokeballs  sent out beams  of energy, which caused  each of her
Elemental Allies to increase in power. They began to push back their foes as
Sailor  Silver Star took  to the air.  She then  hovered above the  area and
charged up  her aura. She then  mimicked Sailor Mars' motions  of firing her
Flame Sniper  attack and  a bow and  arrow of orange-yellow  energy appeared
with silver-blue  highlights. It  was combination of  her ki and  Hyper Beam
techniques as she took aim at the remaining monsters.

"HYPER SILVER BOLT ARROW!"

She let fly with her attack, which struck hard in the midst of the bad guys,
vaporizing them  instantly in  massive hemisphere of  destruction. Those who
were watching were temporarily  blinded. She then made a double reverse loop
before  landing beside  the shocked  Inners and  Sailor Thunder  Strike. She
recalled her Pokemon and addressed Makoto.

"We have to get the others out of here now! Maybe back to Rei's temple?"

Sailor  Thunder Strike  paused to think  about it.  "Well, we could  use the
Sailor Senshi Teleport, but  they're too hurt to try it and we need all five
Inner Senshi to do it!"

It   was   then  that   her   wristband   began  flashing   her  a   signal.

(*New   Ultra  Armor   will   allow  for   instantaneous  and   multi-person
teleportation. Give command phrase, Thunder Teleport.*)

"Thunder... Teleport?"

(*Command acknowledged.*)

Before they  knew it,  they were all engulfed  in a flash of  power and then
streaked off into the heavens in a bolt of lightning. The news teams were in
a  state of  disbelief as  they stared  at the  now deserted  and devastated
landscape.

----------

"Well, that  was a  surprise." The first  master villain said as  he and his
partner saw  the Inner Senshi and  their new comrade disappear  in a massive
bolt of lightning.

"Yes. Do you think this Silver Senshi is the same one that defeated Blodia?"
The second figure asked.

"It's very  likely. Now  our main problem is  what are we going  to do about
it?"

As the two discussed their future schemes, Sailor Uranus, Neptune and Saturn
remained chained  to the  wall and Sailor  Pluto was in  her crystal prison.

----------

"All right Makoto, would you mind telling me what's been happening?" Trainer
asked as he finished  tending to Ami's wounds. The other Senshi had regained
consciousness and had transformed back into their civilian identities. Since
P-Ranma  already knew their  real names from  the last  time he was  in this
reality, there was no  fear of revealing themselves to him, though they were
still quite unnerved at  the fact that the Silver Senshi was actually a boy.
Sailor  Jupiter had  powered  down her  Armor and  returned to  being Makoto
again,  though she was  reluctant to  becoming her less-endowed  self again.
Beside them,  Minako, Rei, Usagi and  Ami sat and listened  as their tallest
member  began  filling in  the  details.  Off to  one  side, Usagi's  future
daughter was playing with Raiden.

Makoto took a deep  breath and began. "Well, it all began about three months
after  you  and  the  Justice Five  left.  You  see,  the  Outer Senshi  are
missing..."

To be continued...

Author's notes

Well, I hope this revised and expanded version of the Return of the Silver
Senshi was enjoyable and filled in a few gaps that the first version had
left. I had been rather rushed with that draft. In any case, stay tuned for
part 2 of the second Crossover Crisis Sidestory.
