Heir to the Empire

Another Ranma-chan fic by Ozzallos, who instead of making Ranma-chan a Sailor Senshi instead makes her Queen Serenity's reincarnation. It also features Ozzallos' trademark ultra-techno-magical interpretation of Silver Millennium, this time operating on a galaxy-wide scale far beyond its usual scope in fanfic or canon.

It can be found here.

Not to be confused with the first book of The Thrawn Trilogy.


 * AI Is a Crapshoot: Averted.  There's no evidence any AI using Silver Millennium technology ever went rogue, even after thousands of years.  The only "evil" AI seen was deliberately programmed to be so, using an uploaded copy of 's mind.
 * Blood Sisters: Shampoo announces that this is her and Ranma's new relationship.
 * Brick Joke: Early in the story, after Ranma is transformed (slightly) by his possession of the Ginzuisho, Kasumi admires his girl form's new silver hair and asks if he can give her silver hair, too.  Ranma's response is a distracted, bemused comment to the effect of "sure, if I can figure out how I got it."  In the last chapter, a hundred thousand words or so later,  visits from the future, stares at Kasumi, and asks "Say, when did Kas-chan dye her hair brown?"
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Ami sure did give off an evil laugh.
 * Fuku Fic: Turns the trope on its side.
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: Setsuna and Serenity.
 * Ironic Echo: When Ranma introduces Ryouga to the Sailor Senshi, she ends by saying, "Pick the one you want. She's your fiancée" under her breath.
 * Japan Takes Over the World: The revival of the Silver Millennium takes place in Japan with Akihito (secretly) giving it up to Ranma and Usagi.
 * Magic From Technology/Magitek: The Silver Millennium apparently didn't see much difference between magic and technology, and consequently enjoyed the full benefits of both.
 * Magical Computer: Possibly literally. Subverted in that even magic-based AIs can't crack hardened military-grade defensive software instantly.
 * Noodle Incident: Inverted where it happens in the future:.
 * Power Up: After a quick visit to an arsenal on the Moon, the Senshi, Tuxedo Mask, and Ryouga all sport some serious extra hardware.
 * Precursors: What the Silver Millennium is to the galaxy today.
 * Rouge Angles of Satin: Ozzallos's primary weakness as a writer is out in full force in this story, which includes the infamous "Stop, magic chicken!" error.  ("Hold, fowl sorcerous!")
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something: Queen Serenity was quite active in promoting her empire.
 * Shout Out: One of Ozzallos' favorites is giving the senshi Intelligent Device-like weapons
 * Another to Halo in the design of the AI avatars.
 * Take That: To Tenchi Muyo in the last chapter.
 * Tokyo Is the Center of The Universe: Considering the two series used, it's a bit obvious.
