Nabiki is packing up her stuff for the evening, preparing for the trip
home.  However, Saki's mercenaries had departed for Area 88 several hours
prior, and she had found herself without protection.  Justicar kindly
offered to escort her back to the Tendo Dojo.
	"ArchBishop, are you ready?" calls Nabiki from the office.
	"Nabiki-sama..."
	There is a pause before Nabiki replies.  "What is it?"
	"There seems to be...a small contingent of...what seems to
be...hostiles headed for us," states Justicar.  His communicator beeps,
and he activates it.  "Washu?"
	"It's me, Justy.  I've detected a mass of mechanical soldiers
headed your way, along with...one human.  I don't know where they came
from, but there wasn't any traversing of dimensions."
	"Can you do anything from Gate 4?"
	"Not at the moment.  I can keep track.  150 yards and closing."	
	Nabiki sets her briefcase down and steps out of her office to peer
out the window that Justicar is keeping watch from.  "What the..."
	From the back of the regiment marching upon the CoN, a deep voice
booms, "There shall be NO neutrality on this ML!!  Take them!"  A large
mass of soldiers begins to break from the main group and heads directly
for the front door.
	"Saki's mercs are gone, the body guards are sick, it's the end of
the day, and you and I are the only ones here, Justicar," states Nabiki,
grimly.  "You realize what this means."
	"This was a planned strike.  Someone doesn't like our peaceful
presence, it seems."
	Washu beeps in again.  "Justicar, I'm reading a massive
dimensional disturbance...it's above...the path the invaders are
taking..."
	"How close are those soldiers?" inquires Justicar.
	"Now at...110 yards and clos...the disturbance!"
	Justicar and Nabiki look to the sky as the air seems to tear wide
open, the sound of a huge rip echoes through the ML.  The mechanized
soldiers stop and look up and the void in the sky.
	A familar voice projects out from the gap.  "You wanna take the
CoN?  That's just plain STUPID!"
	Nabiki blinks.  "I don't believe this.  Him!"
	Justicar recognizes the voice instantly.  "Yeah!"
	The voice suddenly gets harsh as the void grows...

	"YOU GEDDA BOP ON THE HEAD!!!!!!"

	A massive pillow measuring fifty foot square drops from the
dimensional rift and crushes the first wave of the invasion.  

*Music starts now: Positive, from the Ranma Ending ST*

	A cloaked figure drops from the sky weilding a staff and a cocky
grin, landing on the pillow moments before it vanishes, along with the
rift.
	"Looks like it's me versus an outrageous number of bad guys.  I
like it!"  Shouryu begins his attack, refusing to hold back on the foot
soldiers.  As they fall to the ground, he notices that their screams sound
like...Kappei Yamaguchi, Sarah Strange, Mike Donovan...
	A staff attack on the left, a turn kick to the front, and a
double punch-round house to the right...the soldiers continue to
drop...but Shouryu is outnumbered.
	"I'm going to help him!  It's about time we had some fun!"
exclaims the ArchBishop with a grin.  He vanishes into a green aura.
	"Hey, you're leaving me alone?!" yells Nabiki.
	Shour grabs a footsoldier and crashes the top of his head directly
between the solider's eyes.
	"Nice headbutt!" compliments Justicar, materializing beside the
PPE.  "Shall we?"
	Shour morphs the staff into a kitana as Jus' produces his vorpal
blade.  "Let's go to town!"
	The ArchBishop and The PPE soon begin to turn the tide, until all
the footsoldiers are down, and only the one human is left standing before
them.  
	"Well, I wasn't expecting you back," states 'D'.
	"Didn't I see you in Key: The Metal Idol?" comments Shouryu.
	"Take him!" orders Justicar.
	As the CoN artists rush at 'D', the mysterious figure vanishes. 
	"This won't be the last you hear from me..."

	Shouryu plants his blade into the earth as 'D's voice fades.
"Yeah?  Well, don't expect your plans to happen so easily.  I won't allow
them.  The Shouryuzani has returned to the ML...You're just going to have
to deal with it!"
