Standard Takahashi disclaimer.  Robin, Two-Face, and all related
characters belong to DC Comics.

This has been on the back burner for awhile but I thought that I'd work
on it.  Let me know what you think.  I'll be sending out my alpha part 1
in a few days after I go over it.  C&C is always welcome along with any
ideas you may have about the story.

                  Robin 1/2
                  Prologue

Open to two familiar shadowy figures.
	*Well, your little alteration worked well.*
	*I would call it a success ... or at least amusing,* said the woman.
	*Hmm ... I wonder what would happen if I tweaked my universe a little
bit. No curses or anything, but bring in a little conflict.*
	*What can it hurt to try?*
	*Alright, now what to do? Hmmm ... I'll try a little tournament.*


     Ad in a Tokyo newspaper:
     "Come one, come all to enter in the ultimate martial arts fighting
contest. All martial artists under 30 may apply. Any and all
disciplines. Victor in both male and female divisions will win 100000
Yen and a free trip to Gotham City, U.S.A. for international tournament.
Sign up today."
     
     Now, normally, this would be an excellent event to pit the
residents of Nerima against each other but unfortunately ...
     Ryouga was "exploring" northern Europe.
     Cologne, Shampoo and Mousse were visiting the Amazon Village in
China.
     Kuno and Kodachi were vacationing in Hawaii with their father.
     Ukyo was attending an international pancake convention in Las
Vegas.
     So, the available martial artists were Ranma and Akane.  Both
entered. For two weeks before the tournament, Ranma trained Akane hard
and practiced his basics in preparation. Akane improved immensely during
that time. I'll spare you the bloody details. Suffice to say they won.
Ranma, by a longshot. Akane, by a close call. Anyway, they are headed to
Gotham City to represent Japan in the international tournament. 


	*Okay. You have them headed to Gotham. But, what are you going to do
with them? They hardly seem to either take upor come into conflict with
costumed vigilantes.*
	*They will if they have the incentive. Just watch,* answered the man,
annoyed.


     Switch to a villain's hideout. The main villain is in themiddle of
the room sitting with his back to us in a chair. One half of the chair
is oak with beautiful ornate carvings. The other half is scratched,
dented and looks near breaking. The room is the same. One half is nicely
furnished and the other is broken ands dirty.
     "So, the reports I've heard are true," growled the boss.
"The martial artists are coming from Japan for a tournament."
     "Yeah," said Lackey 1. "The boy is named Ranma Saotome. He is
supposed to be the best martial artist anywhere near his age. The girl
is Akane Tendo, his fiancee. She isn't quite as good."
     "Ahh ... two halves of a whole. There's the motivation," the boss
mumbled. Then, louder, "You can go now."
     After the lackeys had left, the boss began talking to himself.
"First the girl. Then he'll have to do what I want. Ranma can kill the
bird for me. Ha ha ... ha ha ha Ha Ha HA HA!"
     Close the scene on Two Face's mad laughter.
