Okay, here's something for the Evangelion crowd out there (since I have too
much to write already myself and couldn't serve justice to this...) (keep
in mind that my info on End of Evangelion is scrounged from the Net, so if
anything looks messed up fix it as you will)

*delete if you're against spoilers*

	Dimensional portals are a very strange thing. Especially when they form in
the gravity well of a planet undergoing an evolutionary crisis.

	Eva Unit-01 hurtled through the upper layers of the Earth's diminishing
atmosphere, bound for the depths of space. A small fragment of what was
almost the result of the Human Complementation Project clung to the
biomech, like a dying fungus. If all went as planned, the giant robot would
tumble through the depths of space, to make possible again the events which
had led humanity to its ultimate fate.

	However, all did not go as planned. a rift, barely large enough for the
Eva to slide through, formed directly in its path. The mech was slammed
into the rift, and vanished from the unbalanced dimension.

	On the other side of the rift, Eva Unit-01 plummeted to another Earth like
a meteor, burying itself in the center of a wide chain of mountains. The
fragment of the eighteenth Angel which clung to the Eva was shorn away by
the force of gravity, and found itself impacting, and bonding with, a very
unusual body of water.

	Had a certain middle-aged Guide living in a cottage nearby been paying
more attention to the valley than the impact crater of the enormous robot,
he'd have noticed the dim mirage of a blazing bluish-white cross above one
spring in a valley packed with them.

	Almost two years later...

	"Here sirs, you come to famous training ground of cursed springs,
Jyusenkyou..."

	"Aw man, this place don't look like nothin'."

	"Let's go, boy!"

	"Right behind ya, Pop!"

	"No sirs, wait! I no finish my tragic story!"

	Saotome Ranma and Saotome Genma sparred above the springs of Jyusenkyou
for several minutes before Ranma managed to knock his father into one of
the springs. "Yo Pop, we done yet?"
	To his surprise, a giant panda erupted from the spring where his father
had fallen, taking a stance on another pole opposite him. "Gaaah!
What...what the hell *is* that?" Ranma yelled down at the Guide.
	"Mister Customer fall in Shonmaoniichuan, spring of drowned panda. There
very tragic story of panda what drown there two thousand year ago. Now
whoever fall in spring take body of panda."
	"Hey man, you ain't never said nothin' about...hey pop! What're you
doin'...cut it out!"

	The panda which had been Genma knocked Ranma off his pole and into one of
the myriad springs. The Guide rushed over, and began, "Oh sir, you fall
Nyanniichuan, spring of drowned girl. There very tragic story of young girl
that drown there one thousand five hundred year ago." A small form emerged
from the spring. "See? Now you is young girl!"

	The girl that had been Ranma sat almost chest-deep in the spring. Her
expression was unreadable as she looked down at herself, her gi top not
quite covering her new assets. Yet, despite the shock to the system of the
boy named Saotome Ranma, the girl could not find it within her to scream.
Numbly, silently, she dragged herself out of the spring. The panda stared
at her in shock. Her skin was pale, almost chalk-white, and her hair was
nearly white itself, with only the faintest blue tinge. 

	"I see," was all she had to say about her predicament.
