Coming soon to an FFML near you. Ranma Wars: episode IV.
Yeah I know, I started this fic in July of /96, I've been taking courses
at the Zen school of slow writing. Give me a few weeks. Written by
Myself (Ranchan) and J. Austin Wilde. Characters are the property of
whoever created them, I have no money.
Here's the teaser everyone missed.

The Million-yen 'Yaki re-entered real space only to be pummeled
by thousands of boulder sized rocks which had appeared out of
no-where. The 'Yaki's shields groaned at the impacts and the
ship began to shake violently.
"What the..?" Ran mumbled as he worked the controls quickly
trying to bring the freighter under control.
Next to him Gen-baka could offer no inteligeble insights without
removing his paws from the controls. He brought several systems
on line while turning others off.
In retrospect it was a good thing that Ran always came out of
light speed with his shields up in case the welcoming commitees
he met were less than friendly. Otherwise the ship would have
been thouroughly destroyed.
Ryouga fumbeled to maintain upright and Shampoo gave him some
support from behind. "What the hell is going on?" he asked.
"Aiyaa" Shampoo added. "Is really bad out there."
"Meteor shower." Ran replied, "But it's one of the worst I've
ever seen, and it isn't even listed in the galactic atlas.
Oh, we also have another problem...Alderaan is missing."
"What? But that's impossible." Ryouga said dumbfounded.
"You sure were in the right place?" he asked contemptuosly.
"Look kid, you're the Lost Boy not me." Ran responded acidly.
"Besides, I've checked the navicomputer and the star charts.
We're in the right place, it's Alderaan that's gone and
gotten itself lost. And from the size of this meteor shower
I think I know where it's gone. This is way to much debris ,
and there's way to much energy bouncin around.
Alderaan's been blown apart, totally."
"Destroyed." Ryouga whispered, as he grasped what that meant.
"But how? By who?"
"The Hentpire." came an even voice from behind Ryouga as Tofu
entered the cockpit.
"No way." Solo was shaking his head. Gen-baka whimpered next
to him and raised a sign <My dear friend Soun.>
Ran patted him on the shoulder. "Sorry about mister Tendo pop.
But I still say that there's no way the Hentpire could pull this
off. Not even the whole of the Hentpirial navy. It would take
a thousand ships massing more firepower--"
Suddenly muffled alarms began blaring all throughout the ship.
Ran checked the ships sensors.
"It's another ship, coming up fast." he announced.
"Maybe it's a survivor, someone who could tell us what happened."
Ryouga ventured hopefully.
Just then the ship flew over the cockpit and proceeded to race
away from the 'Yaki.
"No. It's a Hentpirial fighter." Tofu announced.
Gen-baka roared something uninteligeble as the space outside the
cockpit flashed a bright red and the ship shook from bow to stern.
"It followed us!" Ryouga exclaimed.
"No it's a short range fighter." Tofu observed.
"So where did it come from? There aren't any hentpirial bases
around here." Ran didn't like not knowing anything. But right
now he had no clue as to what was going on."Well where ever it
came from it's leaving in a big hurry."
"If they identify us we're gonna be in some real trouble."
Ryouga said fearfully
"Not if I can help it." Ran declared. "Pop, jam their transmissions.
Lay in a pursuit course. Gen-baka flipped the appropriate switches
and the 'Yaki began to speed off after the receding Hen-TIE
"It would do best to let it go, it's already too far out of range."
Tofu added thoughtfully.
"Not for long."
